Residents Keep Their Pulse
Pumping For The Super Bowl
Photos and text by Dara Mormile
Dozens came to the 69th Precinct stationhouse last
Thursday and joined the world’s biggest huddle when
they donated blood for a good cause. The Super
Community Blood Drive, in partnership with The New
York Blood Center, gave residents a chance to enter a
sweepstakes for one pair of tickets to see the Super Bowl.
Activists Rochelle and Jerry Cohen are known for vol-
unteering their precious time to the community and
signed up potential donors inside of the local precinct.
They also doled out free gifts to the donors, who didn’t
hesitate to roll up their sleeves inside of the New York
Blood Center mobile truck. Out of the 24 who signed up,
18 were eligible to give blood. Police officers who donated blood received a free 6 month membership to the
Hebrew Educational Society.

One Arrest Reported As Gun Violence Escalates
By Dara Mormile
Within one week, there were three
separate shootings in the Canarsie
area. Only one person was arrested but
there were no reported fatalities.
The weekend began with a shootout that took place at Glenwood Road
and East 80th Street. According to
police officials, on Friday, January
17th at about 4 p.m., a 69th Precinct
police officer was on routine patrol
along Glenwood Road when he saw a
17-year-old man allegedly shoot at a
crowd. The officer got out of his patrol
car and ordered the suspect to “drop
the weapon.”
Reports state that the teenager
pointed a 9MM Stallard Arms semiautomatic handgun at the police officer and shots were fired. The suspect
ran eastbound on Glenwood Road. The
police officer called for backup and a
canvass of the area was conducted
before the armed thug was arrested at
East 82nd Street and Glenwood Road.
The officer was taken to Brookdale
Hospital but did not suffer any major
injuries.
Officials closed off a few blocks
along Glenwood Road as they investigated the details of the incident.
The suspect was identified as Terrel
Peters, who resides in Old Mill Basin,
and was charged with criminal use of a
firearm, menacing a police officer and
reckless endangerment.
The next day, Saturday, January
18th, police from the 69th Precinct
responded to a call that a man was
stumbling, and then collapsed, outside
of a home on East 87th Street and
Avenue M. When they arrived, officials found that a man, whose identity
is being withheld, was lying on the
ground in front of 1320 East 87th
Street just before 4 p.m.
The victim, a 29-year-old from
Hackensack, New Jersey, was taken to
Brookdale Hospital and listed in stable
condition with one gunshot wound to
the chest.
There was no description of the suspect released, but the victim told
police that the gunman fled on foot
and headed westbound on Avenue M.
Prior to the two shootings, a 26year-old from Wyandanch, New York,
was shot on Wednesday, January 15th
- also on Avenue M. The victim was
found inside of the parking lot at 9218
Avenue M with one gunshot wound to
the left side of his stomach. No arrests
have been made and there is no
description of the suspect.
Anyone who may have information
on the shootings is asked to call Crime
Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
The public can also submit their tips
by logging onto the Crime Stoppers
website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS. COM or by texting their
tips to 274637 (CRIMES) then enter
TIP577. All calls are strictly confidential.
At least three blocks were cordoned off by police Friday afternoon following a police involved shootout.

Canarsie Resident Shows Support For Autistic Boy
By Dara Mormile
Activist Valerie Woodford has kept
Avonte Oquendo in her thoughts and
prayers from the day he went missing.
Oquendo, an autistic 14-year-old from
Queens, disappeared on October 4,
2013, after he walked out of the
Riverview School in Long Island
City. The teen’s mysterious disappearance provoked a citywide hunt.
Last week, a photographer was
passing by the edge of the East River
in College Point, Queens and found a
couple of body parts, including a severed arm. Officials further investigated the scene and found clothing that
fit the description of what Oquendo
was wearing the day he went missing.
Woodford, who has been following
Oquendo’s story and is a strong advocate for the welfare of autistic children, recently dedicated a tree in front
of her Conklin Avenue home to the
missing teen. Since Woodford has an
autistic son, Oquendo’s story truly hit
home. A couple of months ago, at the
prime of the investigation, she helped
plaster Oquendo’s photos and missing
posters all over Canarsie, trying to get
the support of local residents.
“The school security guards
shouldn’t have let Avonte out – autistic kids are supposed to be watched at
all times,” she recently told the
Canarsie Courier.
Woodford said it’s heartbreaking to
think about what could have happened to the missing teen and hopes
that he wasn’t murdered since his
body parts were found in various
places along the water.
DNA tests, revealed Tuesday afternoon, confirmed that the body parts
belonged to Oquendo, whose parents
held onto hopes that he was still alive.
City
Councilman
Jumaane
Williams offered his deepest condolences to the Oquendo family.
In a statement on Tuesday, he said,
“My heart breaks for the family of
Avonte Oquendo today, and although
nothing I can say will bring Avonte
back to us, we must do all we can to
keep his memory alive. I offer
Avonte's family my prayers for comfort and healing at such a difficult
time.”
“This is a day that not only
Avonte's family, but all New Yorkers
have dreaded since Avonte went missing nearly three months ago. Let
Avonte's transition be a stark
reminder to all of us that there are
people who live, study and work
among us that have special needs, and
that we must always be willing to do
what we can to meet them. I thank all
of the family members, volunteers
and law enforcement officials, who
continue the work of finding out
exactly what happened to Avonte, for
their non-stop efforts," he said.

Oquendo’s memory.

Tribute Honors Memory Of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
State Senator Kevin Parker hosted the 10th annual “A Shared Dream Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Tribute Concert” on Monday night at the Walt Whitman
Theater in Brooklyn College. The event provided a wonderful reflection of the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through prayer and songs. Senator Parker was
joined by several guests and performers, including Councilman Jumaane Williams, Public Advocate Letitia James, Senator Charles “Chuck” Schumer, Rabbi
Yechiel Kaufman, the Brooklyn United Marching Band and vocalists Elizabeth James and Kristina Henry. The night was topped off with a very special guest
appearance – Grammy Award winner Donald Lawrence. Over 250 people attended the tribute to the civil rights activist.

Community Board 18: First Meeting Of 2014 Whips Into Shape
Photo and text by Sam Akhtar
Community Board 18 (CB18) was busy flexing
their muscles during their meeting on Wednesday,
January 15th held at the John Malone Community
Center at 2335 Bergen Avenue.
Representatives of a low cost, national gym
chain took the floor explaining why they needed a
variance at the 1380 Rockaway Parkway location,
previously occupied by Rite Aid. The attorney for
the health establishment stated this variance was
needed before his clients could continue with the
application process.
After making their case, CB18 District Manager
Dottie Turano mentioned lighting in the area is a
major concern. The applicants thanked CB18 for
their feedback and noted they would be sure to
address lighting in future presentations.
Even though the variance request was passed,
the health club still has additional steps to file
before Canarsiens can feel the burn.
Chairman Saul Needle discussed the traffic patterns at Kings Plaza mall located at Flatbush
Avenue and Avenue U. Needle said, as part of a
transportation committee set up by the Brooklyn
Borough President’s office, he is hopeful the heavily trafficked area will undergo some revisions.
After the chairman made his comments, District
Manager Turano expressed her frustration of
countless recommendations going nowhere. She
said she’s aware of advisory committees making
many of the same suggestions such as increased
barriers, a pedestrian fence or an overpass bridge.
However, she said she was very frustrated by the
amount of “lip service” that never seemed to materialize.
She went on to bring up the many times the
board has participated in studies and submitted
proposed recommendations to prevent future dam-
age from hurricanes such as Sandy. Turano said, “I
want to see results. Don’t give me false hope.”
The meeting also saw its fair share of political
representation. City Councilman Alan Maisel and
Assemblyman Nick Perry discussed working on
community driveways and their respective efforts
to work on legislation to address the matter. State
Senator John Sampson told the audience about
Governor Andrew Cuomo’s plan to secure billions
of dollars for educational infrastructure and federal funding to repair the damage left by Sandy.
Representatives from the offices of
Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, State Senator
Marty Golden, Brooklyn Borough President Eric
Adams and City Councilman Jumaane Williams
let everyone know what their electives had scheduled in the coming weeks.
As the meeting wound down, the Planning and
Zoning Committee took up a liquor license application. The confusion began with a name change
of a bar and grill seeking to open at 5719 Preston
Court. The business, which is not even open yet,
originally filed for the liquor license under a different name. However, the business owners decided to change their name but did so after filing for
their liquor license under their first name.
This name change caused some confusion
among the board members and the audience.
Turano discussed the area as being mostly industrial and noise complaints arising from that location. After much discussion, the representatives of
the bar explained they were not the cause of the
noise because they weren’t even open yet.
The debate closed after Turano deadpanned,
“You shouldn’t have changed your name.” In other
business, Chairman Saul Needle, 1st Vice
Chairperson Phoebe Layne, 2nd Vice Chairperson
Samuel Palmer and Secretary Michael Ien were all
elected as officers of the board for 2014.
The next CB18 meeting will take place on
Wednesday, February 19th at 7pm at the John
Malone Community Center.
The board conducts business as usual.
Brooklyn’s Newest Leader
Brooklyn has a new Borough President!
Eric Adams was officially sworn in on
Sunday, January 19th at the Brooklyn
Museum. Adams, a retired police captain of
the NYPD, entered politics in 2006 serving
as a State Senator before taking on his latest position. Adams has big shoes to fill from
his larger than life predecessor, Marty
Markowitz. The new BP said he will represent “one Brooklyn” pledging to grow the
borough’s economy and improve the quality
of life for residents.

We’re Not Being Callous – We’re Staying Out Of Trouble
Telling It
Like It Is
By Dara Mormile
O
ne of the most disastrous car accidents I photographed for the Canarsie Courier included
an SUV that plowed into a tree at Rockaway
Parkway between Flatlands Avenue and Avenue J. A
couple was reportedly pinned in their vehicle and the
entire street was crowded as FDNY and NYPD personnel facilitated the Jaws of Life. I got to the scene
just in time to get close-up shots of the crash victims
being extracted from their car by paramedics – what
reporters and professional photographers call “the

money shot.” As I snapped away, capturing perfect
images of the totaled vehicle, I could hear people
talk in the background, saying “Why's everyone taking pictures – someone should be helping those people.”
Last week, a 71-year-old woman lost control of
her car and crashed through the entrance of a Rite
Aid in New Jersey. The Daily News reported that
bystanders were “disappointed by footage showing
witnesses at the store taking pictures with their
phone after the incident instead of helping out.”
Many accidents like this happen in our community. Last year a car plowed into a store on Rockaway
Parkway, injuring three women. One of the women
was pinned under the vehicle. I'm not trying to be
coldhearted, by any means, but other than possibly a
nurse, off-duty paramedic or surgeon, no one should
be physically helping someone who just got into a
car accident. One of the safest things passersby can
do to help someone in an accident is ask if the
injured needs help calling anyone from their family.
Other than waiting for trained paramedics to extract
the victim from their totaled vehicle, why would you
try to help them out of their car?
The only thing that qualifies me to put my two
cents in about this issue is that I've witnessed more
car accidents and injuries in the past 10 years as a
reporter than most ordinary residents will see – or
want to see – in their lifetime. In every accident,
unless the driver is well enough to walk around raising hell that their car has a dent, the passenger should
probably stay still until emergency personnel straps
them onto a gurney.
If you're not in the medical field, are you walking
the streets with equipment to help someone who just
got into an accident? If you're seriously thinking
about touching or moving someone who has a head,
neck or back injury, you'd better hope your butt doesn't get sued! Let's get real. Other than assuring the
accident victim that help is on the way and staying
with them in case they pass out (and even then, are
you going to slap them awake when they're already in
danger?), realistically there's not much you can do to
be “helpful.” You might cause further damage if you
try to help them out of their car. Another point my
reporters and I always try to make is that capturing
images of an accident can greatly benefit the victim.
The more proof of damage they have, the better it
could be for their insurance claim – or, if they're looking to sue another driver involved, they will have
some historical evidence to back up their case. We've
had accident victims come into our office and buy the
paper simply because it helped them visualize what
happened to their vehicle. Some people send us photos of car accident scenes, hoping their neighbors can
identify a vehicle involved in a hit-and-run or a
pedestrian who was struck.
A photographer's or reporter's job is to capture the
moment and remind residents how dangerous a certain street or intersection can be. It's a civilian’s job
to know when NOT to interfere in an accident scene.
Do paramedics ever ask random people on the street
to assist them in wrapping a neck brace around an
accident victim? Are you going to be asked to help
lift the victim into the ambulance? Really...
If you don't like seeing people standing around
while an old lady is mangled in her car, go to medical/nursing school or join your local Community
Emergency Response Team (CERT) so you can get
formal volunteer training and credentials needed to
tend to someone who’s injured.
Until then, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Second Arrest Made In Deli Homicide
By Dara Mormile
Police have arrested a 30-yearold man in connection to the murder of an East New York deli worker. Almost two weeks after 797 Deli
and Grocery Deli employee Hisham
Zidan was found cut to death inside
of the Stanley Avenue bodega, a
second suspect was charged with
murder and burglary. As of press
time, a third suspect remains on the
loose.
According to police reports,
Ahmed Jones, who resides at
Wortman Avenue, was one of the
men who aided in robbing and
attacking 55-year-old Zidan, who
was alone at the deli on Friday,
January 10th. One of the suspects
allegedly forced Zidan into the
bathroom of the deli’s basement
where he slashed his head and left
him to die. Following the attack,
one of the suspects knocked over
the register, stole cash and fled the
scene with two other men.
Nineteen-year-old Amir Alawadi
was reportedly one of the suspects
who was arrested last week and
charged with the deli clerk’s murder.
Zidan’s body was found by
another shop owner the morning
after the attack and called police
from the 75th Precinct to the scene.
Surveillance footage from a nearby
business shows the suspects entering the Stanley Avenue deli.

Snow, Snow And More Snow
Janus made its mark on Brooklyn on
Tuesday, January 21st. The storm
dropped nearly a foot of snow blanketing
most of Canarsie. The conditions led
even cautious drivers to slip and slide
even as they creeped along Flatlands
and Remsen avenues. Commuters layered clothes to brave the polar vortex
temperatures. Even though the snow didn’t shut down the city that never sleeps, it
certainly caused some delays. By
Wednesday, residents were busy shoveling and digging out their cars, getting
back to their daily routines.

MTA Adds Real-Time Arrival App For The L Train
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority
(MTA) recently announced that the real-time train
arrival estimates that appear on platform countdown
clocks on the L Line are now available via the MTA
Subway Time™ iPhone and web app. And the MTA
is now providing the data to app developers to
include in third party apps that help with subway
navigation.
The MTA launched the Subway Time app in
December 2012 with real-time train arrival estimates
showing the number of minutes away a train is due
at each station on the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 lines and S
42nd Street Shuttle. Today’s announcement marks
the first expansion of the app and real-time data feed
from that initial group of lines.
“Know before you go – we like to repeat this
catchy slogan because it is so much more helpful to
have information with you before you get to our station than once you’re already there,” said MTA
Chairman Thomas F. Prendergast. “That’s why
we’re delighted to be able to extend the reach of our
real-time data so that our L Line customers can have
it wherever they are, and make a decision about
when to venture out from the comfort of your own
home, coffee shop, office, or wherever you may be.”
MTA Subway Time for iPhones, iPads and iPod
Touch is available via the Apple app store at this
link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mta-subwaytime/id561507659?ls=1&mt=8 . A web-based desktop version is available at http://bit.ly/1eOUQg4. A
number of apps developed by external tech developers include the same real-time data feed as well.
Information about many of those apps can be found
at the MTA’s online App Gallery at this link:
http://web.mta.info/apps/
MTA Subway Time™ is designed to be quick to
load and easy to use. The opening screen displays
icons for the subway lines served by the app. You
can select a line to see all the stations it serves, then
select a station to see real-time arrival estimates for
up to nine trains approaching that station from each
direction. For simplicity, stations that serve multiple
lines show all trains combined in a single list.
The arrival time estimates can be refreshed anytime by touching the icon in the upper right of the
screen. The exact time the data was provided is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
The app is synchronized with the mta.info website displaying planned service changes and realtime service disruptions. The MTA is evaluating
how to best incorporate this real-time information
into its point-to-point trip planning web utility, Trip
Planner +.
Easy to navigate mobile app.
The new real-time data is also being made available simultaneously in raw form to app developers
via a GTFS-Real Time feed on the MTA’s cloudhosted open data portal. Developers who wish to add
L line real-time data to their existing apps, or learn
how to use the raw open data on any of the lines that
have real-time train arrivals, can access it at
http://mta.info/developers.
The addition of the L Line’s real-time information
into the app is made possible by a technology known
as Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC),
the modernized signal system employed on the L
Line that also powers the countdown clocks located
overhead on L station platforms. Signaling on the 7
Line is currently being upgraded to CBTC. The project is expected to be completed in 2016, and the 7
could be added to Subway Time thereafter. The
MTA hopes to have countdown clocks in place at the
remainder of the lettered lines within three to five
years, through digital means overlaid on top of the
existing signal system that uses technology dating
back to the 1930s.
The L Line, built in sections between 1913 and
1931, has 24 stations in Brooklyn and Manhattan. It
was the first line to receive countdown clocks on
platforms. They were activated in January 2007.

Social Security Wants To Tease Your Brain This Month!
SOCIAL SECURITY
BY BEPPIE SIBLEY
Canarsie Office District Manager
January is International Brain Teasers Month.
What better time than now to test your knowledge
and learn a few things at the same time? With that
in mind (pun intended), tease your brain with these
bits of Social Security trivia.
Brain Teasers:
1. When was the Social Security Act signed
into law, and who signed it?
2. Who received the very first Social Security
check? (Careful — this may be a trick question!)
3. When did Social Security begin paying disability benefits?
4. Who received the first monthly Social
Security check? (Not the same person as in question number two!)
5. When did Social Security begin paying
Supplemental Security Income benefits, or SSI?
6. Is there any significance to the digits in your
Social Security number — or are they just random?
Answers:
1. The Social Security Act was signed into law
on August 14, 1935 by President Franklin D.
Roosevelt. In fact, we even have a picture of it at
www.socialsecurity.gov/history/fdrsign.html.
2. The first person to receive a Social Security
payment was Ernest Ackerman. But he did not
receive a monthly benefit. During the start-up period of Social Security, between January 1937 and
December 1939, people who paid into the system
received a lump-sum payment when they retired.
Mr. Ackerman got a whopping lump-sum payment
of 17 cents. Not bad considering he only contributed a nickel.
3. Although there were discussions about disability benefits between Congress and the White
House as early as 1936, Social Security disability
benefits did not become law until 1956. Learn more
about disability benefits and how they can help at
www.socialsecurity.gov/disability.
4. Ida May Fuller was the first person to receive
a regular monthly Social Security payment. Her
monthly payment was more than Ernest
Ackerman’s lump sum. Beginning on January 31,
1940, she received $22.54 each month. She collected benefits (with no payment increase for the first
ten years) until she passed away at the age of 100,
in 1975.
5. Social Security began making SSI payments
in 1974. SSI pays benefits to people who have low
income, limited resources, and who are 65 or older,
disabled, or blind. Learn more about how SSI can
help at www.socialsecurity.gov/ssi.
6. Whether the digits in your Social Security
Number have any meaning depends on when it was
originally issued to you. Until June 2011, the first
three digits were assigned based on the geographical region in which the person resided. Generally,
numbers were assigned beginning in the Northeast
and moving westward.
So people on the East Coast have the lowest
numbers and those on the West Coast have the
highest numbers. The remaining six digits in the
number are more or less random and facilitated the
manual bookkeeping operations that began with the
creation of Social Security in the 1930s. As of June
2011, all numbers are randomly assigned without
regard to region.

agency’s history? There’s more to enjoy on Social
Security’s history page. Tease your brain at

Department Of Education Offers Guidelines For Social Media Interactions
Social media is any form of online publication or
presence that allows interactive communication,
including social networks, blogs, photo sharing platforms, Internet websites, Internet forums, and wikis.
Examples of social media include, but are not limited to, Facebook, Twitter, Edmodo, Schoology,
Instagram, YouTube, Google+, and Flickr.
Some examples of social media uses include:
•Blogging about movies, sports, or news events;
•Posting updates or activities on your Facebook
page;
•Participating in a teacher-established Edmodo
group; or
•Using a Google Hangout to work on a class project
A digital footprint is the reputation you leave
online and can include material posted on blogs, and
mentions on websites and videos that are uploaded
onto sharing sites. Online actions leave a permanent
record and remain online, even if you click “delete.”
Be thoughtful about what you share online and consider how it would appear to family, friends, colleges, and future employers.
Because many colleges and employers search
social media before making admissions and hiring
decisions, you might want to use social media as a
tool to demonstrate your interests in positive ways.
For example, social media allows you to show who
you are as a student online by sharing what you think
about and what matters to you. Some examples of
how you can use social media for academic advancement include:
Stand Behind Your Words
You should always take responsibility for the content you post in all social media environments.
While you may think that using a fake name may
prevent posts from becoming part of your footprint,
there are still ways to link that information to the
person who posted it (for example, through an
Internet IP address or other distinguishing information linking posts). Be your best self online – post
accurate information and be accountable for what
you say.
Families Can Be Helpful Partners
Share your digital footprint with your parents and
consider their suggestions. Get your parents’ input
about what information they feel should remain private and what is fine to post publicly. Your parents
are responsible for what you do online if you are a
minor and may want your passwords and usernames
to monitor your social media use.
Additionally, because technology is constantly
changing, you may know more about social media
than your family, so you may also want to show your
parents and other family members how to create an
online presence themselves.
Post Responsibly – Be Mindful of
Your Audience
When you use social media for academic purposes, such as for a school assignment, treat the platform as a digital extension of your classroom – the
same rules apply online as they do at school. For
example, if you would not make fun of a classmate
in English class, do not do it online either. For
school-related social media, do not tag student posts,
photos, or videos unless your teacher gives you permission, as this may expose the content to audiences
for whom it was not intended.
People of all ages sometimes act differently on
social media than they would “face-to-face,” assuming that, because they are not communicating in person, they are not accountable for their actions. In
fact, because of the nature of the digital world, you
should be as responsible, if not more, when acting
online.
Since you never know who will ultimately be
reading content online, always assume that anyone
might have access. If you do not know who will be
reading it, ask yourself if you would be okay with a
parent or relative reviewing your content. If not,
there might be a better way to get your point across.
Pause Before You Post
Once a comment is posted online, you cannot
later say, “never mind.” It may seem funny or harmless when you post it, but it could hurt or offend
someone. As guidance, take a few extra minutes to
think about whether a post will be hurtful or embarrassing or whether it could negatively affect a future
opportunity.
For example, if you post an aggressive or inflammatory comment online because you felt heated in
the moment, this may end up making you a less
attractive candidate in some employers’ minds.
Because online posts can never be completely deleted, it is important to make sure that each post is
something you want to live with.
Sometimes, it may be difficult to draw the line
between a harmless joke and one which goes too far
and becomes hurtful. Chancellor’s Regulation A-832
has a comprehensive definition of the behavior that
constitutes cyberbullying.
It is important not to respond to, retaliate to, or
forward any harassing, intimidating, or bullying
content. “De-friend,” block, or remove people who
send inappropriate content. It may also be a good
idea to save harassing messages, as this evidence
could be important to show an adult if the behavior
continues.

Show’s Over For Sheepshead Bay’s Theatre Cleaning Company
This week, Attorney General Eric T.
Schneiderman announced the conviction and sentencing of Jose Hector Hernandez Gramajo, the
owner of Royal Commercial Cleaning, a company
that cleaned the United Artists Sheepshead Bay
Stadium 14 Movie Theatre in Sheepshead Bay.
Hernandez Gramajo was sentenced to weekends in
jail for 90 days by Brooklyn Criminal Court Judge
Alexander Jeong.
In addition to the jail term, Hernandez Gramajo
was ordered to pay $60,000 in restitution to underpaid employees. Of that amount, approximately
$8,000 will be paid to two workers who were given
checks by Hernandez Gramajo for back wages, following an investigation by the United States
Department of Labor. Hernandez Gramajo told the
workers to cash the checks and return the money to
him or they would be fired. The remaining restitution
will be distributed to other workers who were paid
less than the minimum and overtime wages required
by law.
“This employer not only robbed his employees of
a lawful wage, but also attempted to deny them back
wages, even after a federal investigation into his
labor abuses,” said Attorney General Schneiderman.
“We will pursue full accountability, including jail
time, for any employer who shows such blatant disregard for rule of law and for workers’ rights.”
Hernandez Gramajo, 37, of Huntington, New
York, was the owner of Royal Commercial Cleaning,
which cleaned approximately 27 movie complexes in
the tri-state area, including the movie theatre located
at 3907 Shore Parkway in Sheepshead Bay. Since his
arrest on July 2, 2012, the company has ceased to
operate.
Along with demanding return of the back wages,
Hernandez Gramajo and his company paid most of
their employees a flat rate of $700 or $800 twice a
month and did not pay employees overtime for hours
worked beyond 40 hours a week. In general, these
employees worked seven days a week, eight hours a
day. For these workers, the flat rate was less than the
minimum wage. The crew foreman was also paid a
flat rate and did not receive overtime pay for the
more than 56 hours a week he worked.
Hernandez Gramajo pleaded guilty on January 9,
2014, to a violation of Labor Law 198-a, Failure to
Pay Wages, a misdemeanor. Royal Commercial
Cleaning Inc. pleaded guilty to one count of Grand
Larceny in the Fourth Degree, a class E felony.
The case was referred by the advocacy group
Make the Road New York.
Deborah Axt, Make the Road New York’s CoExecutive Director, said, “We applaud the Attorney
General’s fight against wage theft. New York State
has some of the strongest worker protection laws in
the books but these will mean nothing to working
New Yorkers unless they are aggressively enforced.
Repeat violators should face criminal penalties if
they continue to refuse to comply with the law.”
The case was investigated by Investigator Edward
Ortiz with assistance from Investigators Sixto
Santiago, Bradford Farrel, Andrew Scala and
Supervising Investigator Luis Carter, under the
supervision of Deputy Chiefs Kenneth Morgan, Vito
Spano and Chief Dominick Zarella.
The case was prosecuted by Section Chief Felice
Sontupe, under the supervision of Labor Bureau
Chief Terri Gerstein, Executive Deputy Attorney
General for Social Justice Alvin Bragg and Executive
Deputy Attorney General for Criminal Justice Kelly
Donovan.

Little Old Canarsie – The Next Generation:
Recollections
By Ken A. Rogers
In the January
23, 1969 edition of
the
Canarsie
Courier,
John
Denton took his
readers on a stroll
down
Seaview
Avenue in the year
1911. It was a different world between Paerdegat Basin
and Rockaway Parkway than the one
we know today. This was Denton’s
second article to appear in the Courier
and he went on to become known as
“Mr. Little Old Canarsie.”
He started his tour at Paerdegat
Creek before it was dredged and deepened to create what we know today as
a basin. “We pass the picnic grounds
of the White House Hotel with its
sheds to tie up the horses and carriages.” He went on to explain that
though Henry Ford was making automobiles for the “common man,” the
people of Canarsie did not have the
means to afford such a luxury.
Sand dunes stretched as far as the
eye could see all along what we know
as Seaview Avenue. Denton wrote,
“There were a patch of weeping willow trees, where the St. Jude School is
located, down to the shop of Casper
Bogel the sailmaker. He supplied a lot
of the sailboats when the waters of the
bay were clear. This was before the
City of New York made a cesspool of
it with their sewer plant that is still
there today.”
There are two things to note in this
passage. First, the plant Denton
referred to is the Department of
Sewers building on Flatlands and
Ralph avenues. As a young child, I
lived with my family in the Glenwood
Housing projects at the corner of
Ralph Avenue and Glenwood Road.
From my sixth floor bedroom window,
I could not only see the plant but also
could smell it. This is the same area
the New York City Board of Education
decided to build South Shore High
School.
The second point to note is that a
half-century after the consolidation of
the City of New York, old timers, like
John Denton, still referred to New
York City as placing “their” sewer
plant in the waters of Canarsie. In their
minds, they were still Canarsie and not
a part of the big city. It was like the
City was encroaching on the land in
the same manner as the white man did
to the native Canarsee people.
Continuing our walk down memory
lane with John Denton, “Down the
way from Bogel’s we see a horse and
wagon backed up near the creek. It is
Hen Simmons loading his wagon with
what he liked to call ‘Black
Diamonds.’ Hen was certainly one of
the most loved black men in Canarsie
a half-century ago. His black diamonds, of course, were black mussels,
a delicacy which was consumed in
great numbers either boiled or pickled.”
Before coming to what we know as
Rockaway Parkway, Denton wrote of
Rose Victor’s where the finest clam
chowder and beer was served. Across
the dirt road from Victor’s was
Schielien’s Hotel and Bar. This was
next door to Rigby’s where Denton
said, “featured good cabaret singers
and had Arty Myers at the piano, plus
Joe (Buscemi) Bush on the banjo.”
Denton ended his article at the
bridge that crossed Sands Bay - the
current location of Rockaway
Parkway. Looking toward where the
Belt Parkway crosses over was one of
the entrances to Golden City
Amusement Park. One of John’s
fondest childhood memories was the
peanut cart at the foot of the bridge,
He wrote, “Pop and Mom Cassata
were one of Canarsie’s old-time Italian
families, selling their roasted peanuts.
It was good to smell the peanuts as
they roasted turned by hand first by
John, then Luke, then Fifi and finally
by Dave.”
He leaves us with the view of,
“Looking across the way at the
entrance to Golden City, we see the
penny arcade of Charlie Palash and the
roller coaster operated by the Barone
family - another real old–time
Canarsie Italian family.”
In closing, Denton hoped his readers enjoyed his little stroll down memory lane and hoped the Canarsie
Courier would publish some more of
his memories of Little Old Canarsie.
We enjoyed his stories until shortly
before his death, in 1985, at the age of
85. He continues to live on in the
hearts and minds of Little Old
Canarsie.

East New Yorker Makes The Grade As Outstanding Freshman Student-Athlete
Photo and text by Jerry Del Priore
It’s not that often that a freshman garners the type
of college attention that Medgar Evers College
Prep’s Danielle Patterson has. To date, according to
the six-foot-two versatile wing, she has received various degrees of interest from 41 basketball programs, including top Division I schools such as
Louisville, Ohio State, St. John’s, Maryland,
Michigan, Wagner, Kentucky, and Seton Hall, just to
name a few.
But if you get the opportunity to watch Patterson,
who moved to East New York to live with her grandmother in order to attend the Crown Heights school,
you’ll quickly realize that the early hype is warranted.
Long and nimble, with the ability to shoot,
rebound and play defense, Patterson is among the
best in her 2017 class, and owns all the raw necessary tools to be an elite player on the New York City
high school hoops scene in the near future.
On Saturday, spectators at the Rose Classic Super
Jam at Nazareth High School got a glimpse of
Patterson’s hardwood prowess, as the underclassman dropped 17 points in a 47-42 defeat to Staten
Island’s St. John Villa Academy.
While countless student-athletes excel in their
respective sport, not many perform well in both the

classroom and playing field. Patterson, however, is
that rare breed, currently possessing a 95 average to
go along with her great basketball talent—something that provides her with a strong sense of pride,
she noted.
Intelligent and a great athlete, it’s Patterson’s
maturity, seldom seen by a 14-year-old, that seems
to be responsible for her composure.
“I don’t let it get to me,” the Howard Beach,
Queens native said of the demanding workload. “I
just stay on top of everything so it doesn’t get out of
control.”
Moreover, Patterson will step up and admit to
making a mistake on the court when it does occur,
and chalks it up as a learning experience.
This season with the Lady Cougars, although
they’re struggling at 3-9 in the PSAL’s Class AA
Conference, she’s averaging 19.5 points and 7.3
boards per game in 10 tilts.
Though Medgar Evers is experiencing its fair
share of growing pains this campaign, Patterson can
take solace in the fact that the team is young, with
just one senior on its roster, and learning. Plus, an
entirely new coaching staff, which includes head
coach Janice Parker and assistants Mike Toro and
Eric Davis, is in place, ready to build a contender in
due course.
“I’m very happy here,” Patterson said. “I get to
grow with the team, and we all get the chance to get
better together.”

Fight The Flu – And Its Symptoms – With Healthy Habits
(Family Features) With cold and flu season upon
us, it may be tempting to hibernate until the danger
of red, puffy eyes and a stuffy nose disappears.
Waiting for a cold or flu to run its course can truly
feel like an eternity, especially when the symptoms
have you looking as bad as you feel.
While there is no guaranteed strategy for avoiding
the flu or sniffles, there are steps you can take to
safeguard yourself and your family. And if you do
fall ill, taking extra care will help ease you through
until you're on the mend.
While the Centers for Disease Control recommends the flu shot as the single best preventive
measure, you can also help ward off illness with
healthy habits like these:
•Keep yourself and your belongings away from
others who may be sick to prevent the spread of
germs. Don't share dishes and utensils in the kitchen,
and provide sick family members with their own
hand towels in the kitchen and bathroom.
•Wash your hands frequently using soap and
water or an alcohol-based rub. Avoid unnecessarily
touching your eyes, nose and mouth, which are easy
portals for germs to enter your body.
•Keep your immune system running strong by
eating sensible and nutritious meals, exercising regularly, managing stress in a healthy way and getting
plenty of sleep.
If your prevention falls short and you find yourself combatting sniffles, take these steps to nudge
yourself back to good health:
•Consult with your pharmacist or doctor about
which medications may help relieve your symptoms.
•Use a soft facial tissue on your irritated skin.
Many lotions are dermatologist-tested to be gentle
and help soothe irritated skin by locking in moisture
•Stay home for at least 24 hours after a fever passes. This will help you catch up on much-needed rest
and prevent the chance of passing anything contagious on to your friends and co-workers.
•Calm stuffy sinuses with the steam of a long, hot
shower. Take the sinus soothing a step further by
using lotion with Vicks.
•Cover your nose or mouth with a tissue when
sneezing or coughing to minimize the
spread of germs.
As your symptoms ease, remember to take it easy
and allow your body
to fully recover so
you don't suffer a
setback that needlessly prolongs your
illness.

Don’t Be A Phone Scam Victim
With the availability of Prepaid Debit Cards,
criminals have developed new ways to steal from
the public.
A) A caller informs the victim that they owe
back taxes to the IRS and must make immediate
payment with a Green Dot Money-Pak.
B) The victim’s family member had a car accident and the caller threatens physical violence
unless immediate reimbursement is made with a
Green Dot Money-Pak.
C) Utility companies demand immediate payment by Green Dot Money-Pak or your electricity
or gas will be turned off.
Crime Prevention Tips
Be suspicious of callers who demand immediate payment for any reason.
Remember that anyone who has the number on
a Green Dot Money-Pak card has access to the
funds on the card.
Never give out personal or financial information to anyone who emails or calls you unsolicited.
Never wire money, provide debit or credit numbers or Green Dot Money-Pak card numbers to
someone you do not know.
Utility companies and government agencies
will not contact you demanding immediate payment by Money-Pak.

Falls Are Leading Cause Of Injuries Among Older Adults
The Health Department released new data this
week showing that falls are the leading cause of
injuries among New York City adults aged 65 and
older. New York City is home to 1.3 million older
New Yorkers, a number expected to increase by close
to 50 percent by 2030.
Between 2006 and 2010, fall-related emergency
department visit rates among older adults increased by
22 percent. In 2010, more than 28,000 older adults
were treated and released from New York City hospital emergency departments due to falls. Each year,
approximately 17,000 older adults are hospitalized,
877-EARLOBE
(327-5623)
866-KELOIDS
(535-6437)
and 300 die as a result of a fall.
“As our aging population continues to grow, we
must do all that we can to prevent dangerous and
oftentimes fatal falls amongst our seniors,” said
Lilliam Barrios-Paoli, Deputy Mayor of Health and
Human Services. “Minimizing the risk factors that
can cause a fall and providing seniors with the tools
and training to prevent them altogether are key parts
of our mission to create an Age-friendly New York.”
The new report is based on hospital data, death
records, and the results of a survey conducted in New
York City senior centers. Most falls among older
adults happen at home (58 percent) and that the bedroom is the most common location. Also, the use of
multiple medications and trip hazards in the home are
common, with 48 percent of seniors taking four or
more prescription medications, and the majority (69
percent) of seniors reporting throw rugs or clutter in
their home.
To help prevent falls, health and social service
providers should:
• Assess older adults for falls risk and discuss ways
to lower the risks, as described in CDC’s STEADI
tool kit and the Health Department’s provider guide.
• Review medicines taken by older adults to identify potential side effects or interactions.
• Discontinue medications that are not absolutely
necessary.
• Recommend physical activity for older adults to
help prevent falls.
• During home visits, use the Brief Home Safety
Checklist to find and fix fall hazards.
To reduce their risk of falling, older adults should:

Improve Parent-Teen Communications By Having An Open Mind
Counseling Corner
From the American Counseling Association
If there’s a teenager in your house, odds are pretty good there are also communication issues. Parents
want to know what their teens are doing, thinking
and feeling, but often all they hear are grunts, complaints or single-word responses.
Most parent-teen communication issues derive
from a teen’s desire to be more independent. A 10year-old may share all the highs and lows of the
day’s events, but a 15-year-old knows not telling all
is a way to be more independent, while avoiding
parental criticism, judgment and advice.
There’s no easy fix to this communication gap,
but you can make it less problematic.
Start by accepting that your teen will talk to and
share feelings with friends more than with you.
Why? Friends are usually less critical, less judgmental and more likely to be facing similar issues. And
friends don’t try to parent, but you do.
While you can’t give up your parenting role, you
can tone it down a bit to encourage more communication. Start by investing time in your teen’s friends,
music, video games, TV and other interests. Be open
Falls...
Continued from page 26
• Be physically active to strengthen muscles and
improve balance.
• Remove slip and trip hazards at home, including
throw rugs and clutter.
• Talk with their doctors about previous falls and
how to prevent future falls.
• Ask their doctor, nurse, or pharmacist to review
all medicines, and discontinue those that are unnecessary.
The Health Department is engaging health care
providers to help prevent falls with provider education
activities through the Primary Care Information
Project, as well as by providing information and tools
on the Health Department web site. The Health
Department also co-leads, with the New York City
Department for the Aging, the New York City Falls
Prevention Coalition, which brings together community-based organizations, academic institutions, and
government agencies to help address the burden of
falls. The New York City Falls Prevention Coalition is
a project of Age-Friendly NYC.

A VERY HAPPY
BIRTHDAY to our
mom Robin, who celebrates her big day on
Sunday, January 26th.
You might drive us
nuts sometimes, but
we’re grateful to have
your
unconditional
love and support.
Thank you for everything you’ve done to
help us succeed in
life! Love daughters
Dara and Kierra.
to inviting your teen’s friends to the house and actually listen to some of your teen’s favorite music.
You don’t have to like any of it, or even those
friends, but you want to demonstrate that you understand and respect your teen’s choices.
You also want to offer communication opportunities. Yes, that means being available and actively
asking questions, but it also means learning to listen.
When your teen has something to say, don’t immediately offer advice or criticism. Instead, show you
really understood what was said. Giving your opinion or suggestions without being asked will often
just shut down communication again.
As parents, we want to protect our children and
help them learn to evaluate situations, make deci-
sions and face the consequences. When your teen
realizes that you respect him or her as a person, and
that you’re willing to allow his or her own decisions,
you’re more likely to find that your advice is actively sought when he or she confronts a difficult or confusing situation.
The goal is for your teen to see you not just as a
parent but also as someone who respects him or her
and is willing to listen without giving instant advice
or commands. Achieve that and teen-parent communications should begin to improve.

Easy Tax Planning
For A Bigger Refund
(NAPSI)—If, like most people, you could use
some extra money these days, consider this: Three
out of four Americans get an income tax refund from
the IRS, and the average direct-deposited refund has
totaled more than $2,800 for the last several years.
Moving the needle above that average may be done
with a little tax planning.
“To see exactly where you still have opportunities
to save, do a dry run of your federal tax return,” said
TaxACT spokesperson Jessi Dolmage. “DIY solutions like TaxACT are already updated with tax law
changes so you can estimate your taxes as early as
October each year.” These hints can help you maximize your refund or lower your tax liability.
1. Remember all your above-the-line adjustments,
which are amounts you can deduct from your taxable
income. They include college tuition and fees, educator expenses, moving expenses, alimony paid,
contributions to a traditional IRA, student loan interest, and health insurance premiums if you’re selfemployed.
2. Maximize your itemized deductions. Those
may include charitable gifts (cash and non-cash,
such as household items), unreimbursed medical
expenses, job search expenses in your present occupation, tax preparation fees, mortgage interest and
points paid, qualified mortgage insurance premiums,
and personal property and real estate taxes. If you’re
not sure if you have enough deductions to itemize,
tax software can calculate whether claiming the
standard deduction or itemizing is more advantageous, with the results typically backed by a maximum refund guarantee.
3. Watch for these commonly missed tax credits,
some of which are refundable: Earned Income Tax
Credit, Child Tax Credit, Child and Dependent Care
1142 EAST 92ND STREET
1-718-649-4989
Credit and Saver’s Credit. If you have college or
other higher education expenses, don’t forget the
American Opportunity and Lifetime Learning
Credits.
4. Review your investments to see if offsetting
capital gains with losses is appropriate for you. Keep
in mind that your tax rate on long-term capital gains
may be lower than your rate on short-term capital
gains.
5. Save more for retirement. While the tax year
ends December 31st for most tax benefits, you have
until April 15th to max out contributions to traditional and Roth IRAs. Contribution limits for both
(as long as neither you nor your spouse was covered
for any part of the year by an employer retirement
plan) are the lesser of your taxable compensation
(wages, commissions, self-employment income,
alimony and so on) or $5,500 for 2013 if you’re
under age 50 ($6,500 if you’re age 50 or over). The
contribution limit is reduced at higher incomes.
When the time comes to file your return, compare
tax solutions carefully. Some brands charge more for
returns with tax forms for more complicated situations. On the other hand, TaxACT’s free federal
solution includes all e-fileable forms for simple and
complicated returns.
The program uses simple interview questions to
guide you through all your deductions and credits.
The amount of your refund or taxes owed updates as
you go. Some solutions, including TaxACT, also
provide information about the tax implications of
health care reform to help you make better-informed
health insurance decisions.
General Tax Tips
• Choose e-file and direct deposit for the fastest
refund.
• Don’t wait until April 15th to file—rushing
often leads to errors.
• In the meantime, save all receipts, statements
and tax forms in one place. Centralizing your information makes tax time easier and faster.

Money-Saving Tips For Small Businesses
(NAPSI)—Finding ways to save and turn problems into profits is a key quality that’s shared by successful small businesses that have found a way to
separate themselves from the rest of the pack.
To help you and your business do the same, here
are some tips.
• Shine a light on savings by making sure to turn
out the lights in areas of the office that are not being
used. Another option is to install motion sensor
lights that will automatically turn lights on and off
when people enter or leave a room. The savings in
your utility bill will soon be visible.
• Cut back on waste and save on mailings by
cleaning up your mailing list. Start by making sure
that the materials you are sending out are being sent
to active accounts. Get rid of bad addresses, inactive
customers and undeliverable mail.
• Print it yourself. One way some businesses
maintain control over printing costs—and their
brand—is to do their printing in-house whenever
possible.
For example, thanks to a new app, iClickn’Print,
a growing number of businesses are finding they can
now maintain more control over the look of their stationery and business materials by doing their own
printing. That’s the word from Mafcote, the company that created iClickn’Print. The app is designed to
let business owners design their own branded business materials, such as stationery, business cards,
envelopes, letterhead, and posters and signage, from
their own computers, then print them from their own
printer.
In addition to saving money, the app also gives a
business more control over where and when the
printing gets done. Plus, the application works from
your computer’s Internet browser. That means
there’s no need to install the program onto your computer.
• When it comes to communicating what your
brand is and what your business is about, do all that
you can to stay focused on your message. Keep your
statements, both verbal and written, simple and consistent, and make sure they reflect your key messages. One way to do that is to make sure your name,
logo and graphics—including signage—communicate your brand. That means you need a logo and
color scheme that complement your verbal message
and create a cohesive presentation for all your materials and website. This can help to create savings by
cutting back on printing excess materials that don’t
reflect the brand.
• Savvy small businesses know how to save by
knowing where and when to spend. For example,
many small businesses see money spent on marketing and promotions for the holidays as an investment, whether it’s to attract new customers or to
reward existing customers for their loyalty.

Have You Seen Daly Anatole? Pet Of The Week
Kenny is an adorable boy of about 16
months, found as a stray in Flushing
Meadows Park. Meet this sweetie at
Animal Care & Control of NYC (AC&C)’s
Brooklyn Care Center at 2336 Linden
Boulevard or email [email protected] if
you’re interested in adopting. Please note,
while he may have been placed by the time
you arrive, there are many other great dogs
(and cats!) looking for a home. All AC&C
adoptions
include
vaccinations,
spay/neuter, a pre-registered microchip, an
identification tag, a collar, and a certificate
for a free initial exam at a participating veterinarian. For more information, visit
nycacc.org.
The family of 40-year-old
Daly Anatole are still asking
for the public’s help in locating
her whereabouts. Anatole
went missing earlier this
month. She was last seen at
her home at 1076 East 57th
Street. Officials are asking
anyone with information on
Anatole
to
call
Crime
Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS
or text “TIP577” (plus your
message)
to
“CRIMES”
(274637).
"Yes,
it will help because more people will be aware that
Compiled
by Bill O’Neill
traffic cameras are a plus.
Everybody
will be more focused on traffic safety."
Christine Vega, Canarsie
?
Question: Last week, Mayor Bill de Blasio revealed plans for the city to use traffic cameras to issue more tickets and enforce speed limits in an effort to crack down on pedestrian fatalities. Do you think this measure will help prevent deaths? Why or why not?
"Yes, mainly because
New York City drivers
are too aggressive. The
traffic cameras will finally catch drivers - and
hopefully stop speeding
and aggressive driving."
Raphael Brutus,
Canarsie
"Yes, it will help
because more people
will be aware that traffic cameras are a plus.
Everybody will be
more focused on traffic safety."
Christine Vega,
Canarsie
"Yes, I think the
traffic cameras will
help prevent fatalities
just because they will
help keep people within the speed limit. Not
only do we need traffic
cameras in New Yorkbut we need them all
across America. A lot
of people last year lost
their lives due to
speeding."
Kevin Smalls,
Canarsie
"Traffic cameras will
prevent deaths by
preventing reckless
drivers and speeding.
Plus, in case of criminal conduct, authorities have a film from
the traffic camera that
they can use to help
solve the crime."
Roberto Feliciano,
Canarsie
