Marine Park Jewish Center Defaced
By Sam Akhtar and
D. Rybstein
A swastika was found last week on
a sidewalk adjacent to Marine Park
Jewish Center (MPJC) located at 3311
Avenue S in Marine Park. According
to MPJC President David Newman, he
discovered the offensive Nazi-era
symbol Monday morning June 25th at
10 a.m. while he was walking to the
shul’s office. Because of a heavy rainstorm earlier that morning, Newman
asked his secretary to come out of her
office to confirm what he saw. Even
after heavy flooding, the swastika
symbol was still clearly recognizable
and they immediately contacted police
who sent investigators to the hatecrime scene. The perpetrator picked a
location on East 34th Street between
MPJC’s sanctuary and its school building, just outside a fenced alleyway, to
paint the swastika.
The recent vandalism was the latest
in a string of anti-Semitic incidents
discovered at various locations
throughout
Borough
Park,
Kensington, and Williamsburg neighborhoods that have large Jewish populations.
According to Rabbi Elisha
“Rodney” Weiss, spiritual leader of the
120 family congregation, elderly
Holocaust survivors who live in the
area have approached him and
expressed their fears. “This is certain-
ly a terrible thing. It raises questions
of security in our neighborhood.
People want to be able to walk at
night,” he said.
Prior to this latest incident, a nonJewish neighborhood woman had told
the rabbi she was very upset with what
was going on referring to the recent
spate of hate-crimes. “Unfortunately, I
myself am not aware of anyone reaching out to us after this,” said Weiss.
Newman described yet another incident in an exclusive interview with the
Courier. “Last year a man was apprehended after he started a fire by the
service entrance to our Center on
Avenue S. We don’t know if he was
trying to burn down the building. In
that incident, a fire chief vowed to me
that he would catch the arsonist, and
he did. I am grateful.”
Reaction to the incident was swift.
Sixty-third Precinct Community
Affairs Officer, Thomas Podd, said,
“We’re going to have a couple of more
units in the Marine Park area.”
Assemblyman Alan Maisel, in a
prepared statement, said, “Once again,
we are confronted with the outrageous
behavior of a hate-filled person who
has no respect for our community or
the tradition of tolerance that makes
our country great. I am grateful to the
NYC Police Department for quickly
responding to this hateful incident and
doing everything that they can to find
Defaced sidewalk between sanctuary and school (right)
those who were responsible.”
Shea Rubenstein, Executive VicePresident of the Jewish Community
Council of Marine Park (JCCMP)
said, “My organization and other
decent people in our community jointly condemn anti-Semitic attacks that
incurred in our neighborhood. The
Jewish community in Marine Park has
grown over the last seven years. We
hope this was an isolated incident perpetrated by just one irresponsible indi-
vidual.” Rubenstein was in touch with
elected officials and police. He told
the Courier that they assured him of an
increased police presence in Marine
Park.
Security cameras are visible at the
Merkaz Yisroel building, part of the
MPJC complex, but so far police have
not been able to identify or arrest any
suspects. The police do not believe this
rash of incidents are linked and the
investigation is ongoing.
Bias Crime Charged In Marine Park Bus Stop Attack
By Dara Mormile
Two teenagers are being charged with a bias
crime for allegedly attacking a woman at a bus stop
at Nostrand Avenue and Avenue R just outside of
Michael’s Restaurant on Tuesday, June 26th. A
third teenager is being sought by police for questioning.
Reports state that a 22-year-old white woman
was smoking at the B2/B31 bus stop at about 10:30
a.m. when a group of black youths approached her.
An altercation ensued and witnesses told police that
the girls, two of them age 12 and 13, were heard
making racist remarks to the woman. They then
allegedly attacked the woman and some reports
indicated that the girls pulled the woman’s pants
off.
Police responded immediately to the scene
where one of the girls was arrested. The following
day, a second girl was arrested in relation to the
incident. A third teenager was apparently with them
when the attack occurred, but police sources say
they do not expect another arrest will be made. The
names of the suspects are being withheld because
of their age.
Assemblywoman Helene Weinstein and City
Councilman Lew Fidler released a combined statement shortly after the incident calling for increased
police patrols in light of the “bias assault.”
“When they are brought to justice, the court
should know before sentencing that the crime
involved an element of bigotry and prejudice,” the
statement said. “Since the alleged perpetrators are
all very young, nipping this intolerance and hatred
in the bud is even more important and would send
a powerful message to their peers that hatred and
bigotry of any kind is not acceptable behavior in
our society.”
The lawmakers said that, given the recent rash
of hate crimes around the community, including
two that involved violent assaults, “we are asking
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly to beef up
patrol strengths in the 61st and 63rd precincts so
that people can be reassured that walking the streets
of our neighborhood is a fully safe thing to do.”

Man Shot While Walking Near Bayview Houses
By Charles Rogers
Police from the 69th Precinct are
investigating a shooting that
occurred last Friday afternoon where
a 25-year-old man was wounded in
front of one of the Bayview Houses
buildings.
According to a spokesman for
Deputy Commissioner for Public
Information Paul Browne, the victim’s wound was not life-threatening.
The man told local officers he was
walking in front of 2115 Rockaway
Parkway on his way home from
work shortly before 2 p.m. when a
stranger confronted him and, for no
apparent reason the man pulled a
handgun from his belt and shot him.
The shooter then turned and fled in
an unknown direction on foot.
The spokesman said witnesses
called 911 when they saw the victim
lying on the ground. Police did not
release
the
victim’s
name.
Emergency Medical Service paramedics took the injured man to
Brookdale Hospital where he was
tended to by emergency room physicians.
Anyone who might have seen anything or who might have information
on the shooting is asked to call the
69th Precinct Detective Squad at
(718) 257-6215 or Crime Stoppers at
1-800-577-TIPS. All calls will be
kept strictly confidential.

New Officers For Community Education Council
By Sam Akhtar
Despite a practically nonexistent
turnout, District 18 Community
Education Council (CEC) held its
meeting last Monday at its headquarters at 1106 East 95th Street.
Results of the elections for council
officers for the July 2012–June 2013
Senior Grants Officer Patricia
Payne

year were announced. The total counts
were:
James Dandridge, President, 6-0
Rhonda Joseph, First Vice
President, 6-0.
Kimbleanna Kirton, Second Vice
President, 7-0.
Dwan
Chisholm,
Recording
Secretary, 7-0.
Allison Williams, Treasurer, 7-0.
As the count was underway, City
Councilman Jumaane D. Williams
made a surprise appearance and
dropped off pamphlets highlighting
his initiatives in his district.
After the approval of the June 4th
minutes, guest speaker Patricia Payne,
Senior Grants officer of the New York
City Department of Education (DOE),
addressed the council and once she
announced the procedures to file
reimbursements, President Dandridge
asked her when the CEC would be
able to access their budget.
The senior grants officer advised
the council, “Last year, if I remember
correctly, the money went out at the
end of August. I would imagine we
are on the same track as last year.”
After thanking Ms. Payne,
CEC board members review minutes of meeting
Dandridge acknowledged the councilman’s unannounced visit.
District 18 Superintendent Beverly
Wilkins summarized the summer
schools and the summer meals programs. Ms. Wilkins closed her
remarks by reminding those in attendance the meals initiative is a “viable
service” to the community.
The meeting concluded with brief
updates by the council members and
since there were no questions from the
(two) people in the audience, the
meeting was adjourned.
The next CEC District 18 meeting
is scheduled for August 6th.
Demands For Justice Fill 63rd Precinct Council Meeting
By Jason Linetsky
The final meeting of the 63rd
Precinct Community Council’s business year quickly went from a celebration of life to a room of anger last
week as the Kings Plaza Community
Room filled with residents wanting
justice for a recent crime spree in their
area.
Following the announcement of
more confiscated dollar vans and
attempts to clear commercial vehicles
from residential areas, Steven Sebili, a
homeowner on East 54th Street
between Avenue T and Avenue U,
demanded to know why a known burglar was back on the street. With a host
of other residents of the block in attendance, Sebili voiced his outrage that
one of his neighbors had broken into at
Brooklyn A.D.A. Paul Gliatta
least seven houses from East 53rd to
East 55th Street between Avenue T and
Avenue U but was walking free.
Rosanna DeSimone spoke up with her
husband stating they had video showing the man entering their property and
removing cherished family articles and
other items from the first floor of their
house.
As the crowd began to grow louder,
Community
Affairs
Off i c e r
Konstantine Genin tried to answer
some of the queries.
“We arrested him and asked for a
high bail,” he said. “Unfortunately, he
was out on $50,000 bail.”
“We will take this to the next level.
We will stay on him and we will get
him,” stated Rowell.
Though a lot of information and
assurances were given by Captain
Rowell and Officer Genin, the crowd
still demanded much more action.
With the last scheduled meeting of
the season, the residents were fortunate to have a special guest, Brooklyn
Assistant District Attorney Paul
Gliatta. Gliatta, who is the Chief of
Brooklyn’s Red Zone (63rd, 69th,
75th and 88th Precincts) cases,
explained how the district attorneys
and precincts are handling the situation.
“Brian Morgan was arrested within
the area of the 76th Precinct and pleaded guilty to two felony counts of burglary. Because that precinct is within
the Blue Zone (67th, 68th, 76th, 79th,
84th Precincts), the chief of that zone
will be handling all cases for which
Morgan is indicted, including two currently open in the 63rd Precinct and
communicating with myself on the status of those cases. We are also awaiting results on DNA tests, which may
tie him to more cases,” he said.
A suggestion of a neighborhood
liaison was made by Gliatta and seconded by Rowell, who was quick to
ask Sebili and DeSimone to team up as
a way to bring updates from the dis-
trict attorney’s office and the 63rd
Precinct to their neighbors in a timely
manor. Council President Greg
Barruso commended the resident for
bringing the matter to the meeting.
With the theory of Morgan not acting alone, residents were asked to be
on the lookout for any more suspicious
activities and have a member of the
precinct come to evaluate the security
issues of their properties and give
them tips to eliminate such issues.

Firebrand Barron Gets His Comeuppance
View From
The Middle
By Charles Rogers
I
couldn’t have been happier when I read the figures stating the final outcome of the primary
election two weeks ago where City Councilman
Charles Barron was TROUNCED by Assemblyman
Hakeem Jeffries in the 8th Congressional District
race. I must admit I’d kept my feelings to myself
previously — even in this opinion column — so as
not to upset Barron and make him feel that the

“white media” was working against him.
Now I find it easier to “work against him,” pardon the expression. I would find it that way when
talking about any hate-monger, no matter what color
he or she is.
Had I become involved in writing about the election beforehand, I most surely would have cited
some of the outlandish filth spewed from the mouth
of this racist, a former Black Panther, who told
crowds of his affection for the likes of Libya’s late
Moammar Khadafi, who killed thousands and thousands of his own countrymen, including women and
children and, in 1988, was allegedly responsible for
downing PanAm Flight 103, carrying 270 people
near Lockerbie, Scotland, killing them all.
His allegiance to Zimbabwe dictator Marxist
Robert Mugabe couldn’t be ignored, nor could his
absurd remarks calling Thomas Jefferson a
pedophile and pledging never to salute the American
Flag be put aside. His remarks delivered on a hearing regarding reparation also must be quoted: “I
want to go up to the closest white person and say,
‘You can’t understand this, it’s a black thing,’ and
then slap him just for my mental health.” It’s almost
understandable if coming from an uneducated sevenyear-old, but from a man running for Congress?
Let us not dismiss Mr. Barron’s disdain for Jews.
Yes, disdain, as he called Israel “the biggest terrorist in the world,” even comparing the Israeli treatment of Palestinians to the Nazi treatment of Jews
during World War Two. And his philosophies extend
to current apparent anti-Semitic feelings. We know
that several current and former New York Jewish
elected officials, including ex-Mayor Ed Koch, Rep.
Jerrold Nadler and fellow Councilman Dov Hikind,
had denounced his candidacy, gathering earlier in the
month in front of the Museum of Jewish Heritage in
Battery Park to call him an “enemy of the State of
Israel.”
Of course, where most losers in political elections
eventually take it on the chin, acknowledging their
defeat with, well, maybe some bravado, but nevertheless bowing to the winner, you could have bet on
the fact that Mr. Barron wouldn’t take it so easily. He
was quoted as saying that, while he didn’t want to
sound like a sore loser, his defeat was more due to
the opposition of “white law firms,” hedge funds
and, uh, you guessed it, the media. I suppose we
should have expected that.
Oh, incidentally, the final count was 77 percent
for Jeffries and 23 percent for Barron. He didn’t refer
to those figures after the race.
Now wait a minute. Can EVERYTHING said
about Councilman Charles Barron be bad?
Although I wouldn’t acknowledge his aptitude
for the House of Representatives for a second — a
position he wouldn’t have been up to — I’d say he
was probably just right for the job he’s been doing
for the past three terms in the council. He will be
term-limited out of that job at the end of this year
and it will be hard to fill his shoes. The man’s rhetoric stinks, but his confrontational attitude, his will
and his capacity for working for his constituents cannot be denied. No question he has been a good worker for the downtrodden and those who really needed
him.
He’s been vociferous (an understatement) in
defending “his” people and, whether you want to call
it showboating and grandstanding (yes, I want to call

Sampson Frustrated With Albany Politics
A Hometown
View From Albany
By Marc Gronich
Capital Bureau Chief
It appears the old pay-to-play environment Governor Andrew Cuomo
says is over at the state Capitol is still
alive and well in some corners of the
Capitol. The recently concluded legislative session in Albany left area
State Senator John Sampson with a
bad taste because, he says, the impoverished were overlooked and pushed
aside in favor of those wealthy who
can gain the ear of state lawmakers by
contributing to their campaigns.
“I’m disappointed with a lot of
things the Republicans have done,
especially this year with cutting off
debates, basically really deleting what
power, if any, the minority
(Democrats) has in representing their
constituencies,” Sampson complained
to the Canarsie Courier.
Sampson, who is the leader of the
Democratic Conference, says the people who need state services the most
should be setting policy and setting the
legislative agenda in Albany.
“We can no longer cater to those
who are privileged and those who have
the money to get the ear of the people
in power,” he said. “What about the
rest of the people? What about the 99
percenters who have to work on a day-
to-day basis just to survive? They are
the ones who should be implementing
policies. The policies that are implemented should reflect the support for
those people and not the support for
the one percent who can afford those
tremendous campaign contributions
and thus [get] their issues [heard].
Their concerns get promoted far and
above those who get impacted.”
Meanwhile, Cuomo, who appears
to have dissed the Senate Democrats in
favor of the Senate Republicans’ agenda, did so in an effort to restore order
between the executive and legislative
branches of government. That effort,
it appears, is leading towards a pay
raise for state lawmakers, who earn an
annual base salary of $79,500. Money
for daily trips to Albany to cover travel, meals, and room expenses are in
addition to that. Further compensation
is given to lawmakers who are the
chairpersons of a committee or have a
leadership post.
Sampson says at this time he is not
a fan of a legislative pay raise when so
many New Yorkers are receiving
poverty wages.
“For there to be a conversation
about increasing the wages for legislators without there being even a discussion about increasing the minimum
wage, that’s abominable,” Sampson
laments. “The minimum wage is a
poverty wage. Thirty years ago I was
working for $3.35 per hour. Today that
would have been $7.85 per hour. What
are we doing?”
The current minimum wage in New
York State is $7.25 per hour. A livable
wage is much different than the minimum wage because this wage is calculated on what it would take to care for
a family, not the lowest amount you
can pay someone. A livable minimum
wage would need to be in the range of
$15.00 per hour for the average family
to live properly, according to labor
experts. No one at the Capitol is talking about a livable wage, not even the
advocates for raising the minimum
wage.
Karen Scharff, executive director
of Citizen Action, an organization
focused on raising the minimum wage,
says donors from large corporations
enjoy influencing the political clout
held by Senate Republicans.
“Senator (Dean) Skelos, the Senate
Majority Leader, received the largest
sum of any individual senator, taking
in $17,500 from these very campaign
contributors who are opposed to the
minimum wage,” Scharff said. “New
Yorkers will never be sure their priorities are being addressed. In fact, we
can be sure our priorities will not be
addressed by our election officials
while those officials can run for office
without being subjected to the corrosive influence of CEO campaign cash.
We believe raising the minimum wage
is not happening because of the lack of
fair elections.”
“The Senate’s opposition reflects
that they want to be able to keep collecting the large donations from the
CEO campaign contributors rather
than give the public the chance to control our own elections,” she added.
“It’s time to restore our own democracy in New York State.”
Another example of the Democrats’
discontent with their GOP counterparts in the upper house is over
women’s rights. Several times this session, Senate Republicans slammed the
door on having a discussion about
women’s rights, whether at a hearing,
legislative debate or at any other
forum.
In another example, “...what you
see now is how special interests have a
stronghold in the policies and the legislation that is being enacted and being
pushed out here in Albany,” said
Sampson.
Sampson, who is actively campaigning in new territory including the
tony communities of Bergen Beach
and Mill Basin now held by Senator
David Storobin, a Republican, says he
will overcome the conservative-leaning portion of the new district.
Sampson says he is even getting along
with Storobin.
“David (Storobin) is a colleague
and we have to deal with our colleagues,” he said. “It’s about constituents. It’s not about whether you’re
Democrat or Republican. So David is
a colleague and we’re going to work
with him.”

Vaad Of Canarsie To Rehab Mikveh
Photo and text by
Yossi Serebryanski
Until several years ago, Canarsie
was the model of a thriving Jewish
community. It boasted its own Kosher
supermarket, bagel shop, restaurant,
Jewish book store, and synagogues
galore. Last week, Canarsie’s Board of
Rabbis, or Vaad, welcomed representatives of the area’s synagogues and
Jewish institutions to a meeting whose
purpose was to explore a process to
either refurbish or relocate Canarsie’s
neighborhood mikveh, or ritual bath.
The mikveh has been in need of
renovation for several years. Noting
that Canarsie is rich in its offerings
and on a comeback track, with young
couples beginning to move to the area,
a new mikveh board of directors and
officers were appointed. Jay Radin,
President of Young Israel of Redwood
took over the reigns, and charging his
new board with the job of determining
the best location and opportunities for
funding of this project.

Assemblyman Kicks Off Annual
Summer Reading Program
Assemblyman Alan Maisel (D-59
AD) announced that it is time, once
again, for the state Assembly’s annual
Summer Reading Challenge. The program keeps the imaginations of children engaged and helps better prepare
them to return to school in the fall. The
Assembly sponsors this challenge in
conjunction with the New York State
Library’s “Summer Reading at New
York Libraries” initiative. The state
library’s theme this year is “Explore
New York.” Upon completion of the
challenge, children will receive a New
York State Assembly Excellence in
Reading Certificate.
“Studies have shown that students
who keep reading throughout the summer perform better when school
resumes in the fall,” Assemblyman
Maisel said. “The Summer Reading
Challenge gives kids an opportunity to
engage in a fun activity that will keep
them learning and help to improve
their vocabulary, spelling and reading
skills.”
Keeping books in the hands of children over the summer months helps
prevent the “summer slide,” a term
used by teachers to describe students’
tendencies to regress and forget some
of what they learned during the school
year because they are not actively
using their newfound knowledge.
“The Summer Reading Challenge
exemplifies the Assembly’s commitment to providing every child in our
state with a quality education,”
Assemblyman Maisel said. “By
encouraging our children to continue
reading and exploring Brooklyn
libraries over the summer, we can better prepare them for the school year
ahead and foster a lifelong enthusiasm
for books.”
To participate in the program, children must read by themselves or with a
partner for a minimum of 15 minutes
every day for at least 40 days throughout the months of July and August.
They will then mark off days during
which they read on the calendar provided and submit it to Assemblyman
Maisel. Once received, those who participated will be awarded a New York
State Assembly Excellence in Reading
Certificate in the mail and in a presentation at their school.
“It’s rare to find an activity that is
inexpensive, fun and educational for
children, especially during long summer days,” Assemblyman Alan Maisel
said. “Furthermore, reading provides
parents with the opportunity to bond
with their children. I urge Brooklyn
families to participate in the
Assembly’s
Summer
Reading
Challenge and instill a passion for
reading into a whole new generation.”

Summertime Means Canarsiens Have Even Less Etiquette
Telling It
Like It Is
By Dara Mormile
Y
ay! Summer is finally in full swing and
you'll be seeing more of your neighbors;
they're washing their cars, tending to their
gardens and hanging out outside their houses at all
hours of the day. Like any community, Canarsie has
its share of people who have worse etiquette in the
summer compared to the rest of year.
Summer is a time when people come out and
enjoy themselves – but they don't think of how they
appear to their neighbors or even local businesses.
Maybe it's because summer “provokes” us to wear
less, so we “reveal” different parts of ourselves we
usually wouldn't. Let's get real. Everyone is
THINKING about these things as public faux pas,
but it's time to get them out in the open. Here are a
few summer etiquette violations for those who enjoy
the heat, but need to mind how they behave and
keep in mind what habits they have in public.
Ladies – mind your outerwear! We know temperatures have reached over 90 degrees in the past
week and you feel like wearing next to nothing, but
if you're slightly...um...big on top, not everyone
needs to see your well-endowed chest! Plenty of
times female customers come into the Canarsie
Courier office flaunting their “assets” and it's more
than obvious that their “ladies” are spilling out of
their small, low-cut shirts. If you want respect while
walking the streets or doing business with others, opt
for a light-colored shirt that covers your chest and
leave something to the imagination. It's great that
you're confident, but your sense of pride shouldn't
come from being half-naked, it should be generated
by your personality and inner beauty. Hence...
The drive-by compliments: Men who notice
women's “goods” spilling out of their clothes can't
help themselves – especially when the men are
cruising the streets in their classy cars and SUVs.
Yeah, it's hot out there – women are going to wear
short shorts and tank tops – does that mean men
have to risk getting into a car accident while beeping their horn and yelling profanities from the driver's side of their vehicle? What are men getting out
of hollering in the middle of the street? And do men
really think they're doing women a service by honking their horn down Rockaway Parkway at every
girl wearing a halter top?
It's almost as if some of these men have never
seen the female species in their entire life and suddenly the world of women opened up right in front
of them. Instead of beeping and yelling, keep driving! If you're at a red light or stop sign (legitimately) and an attractive, scantily clad woman happens
to cross your path, simply say, “Good day miss,
you look lovely,” and continue to your destination.
Have you had your daily shower? Ewww...What
wreaks more than body odor during the summertime? Maybe going to the zoo and passing several
animal cages that haven't been cleaned in days.
Before you leave the house in the morning, shower,
shave, and use a lot of anti-perspirant. Not only are
you going to be out of the house all day, you'll be out
there in the sweltering heat while you're walking to
your car, waiting for the bus or train or walking to do
some shopping. Carry travel sized deodorant with
you at all times.
In addition, don't overdo the perfume or cologne.
We know you're trying to hide the potential stench
you emit, but in the heat it's even worse to inhale the
smorgasbord of odors one might experience at the
park or the pier on a muggy day. And for those of you
who ride the L train, you know how crowded it gets
– and when you have to hold the railings and raise
your arms, everyone around you will suffer the consequences of odor pollution.
You've got company that affects the whole
block: Good for you for staying in the community
this summer! However, if you've got aunts, uncles,
and other relatives who are spending a day at your
house and they insist on parking their car behind
yours in your driveway – thus completely blocking
the sidewalk – you're being an annoyance to your
neighbors. Just because you own property in
Canarsie doesn't give you, or your guests, the right
to block the sidewalk so your brother's huge SUV is
hanging out to the curb. What if someone in a
wheelchair needs to access that side of the street?
What if there are kids living a few houses down?
These residents have to walk into the street and risk
getting hit by a car driving on that block.
Houseguests can always park their vehicle a little
further down the block for the day and walk to their
relative’s home.
Parents: Know where your children are! Fine,
so you’ve decided against enrolling your kid in summer camp or finding something recreational for
them to do on a daily basis. You’ve opted to let them
“do their own thing” while you’re at work all day.
Your kids might be hanging out on the streets, idling
with their friends at a local candy store or causing
trouble. Don’t let your child be the reason someone
else’s summer is ruined.
Everyone is entitled to enjoy the summer. Maybe
you should ask yourself if you’re offending someone or preventing them from enjoying theirs...

H.E.S Dancers Put On A “Wonderful Show”
Family and friends gathered Sunday, July 1st, to
watch their young ballerinas and dancers perform at
the Hebrew Educational Society’s Dance Recital.
Amy Humphreys, the dance school’s coordinator, put on a wonderful show with students performing in different genres such as: classical ballet, tap,
jazz and hip-hop. All the participants looked beautiful in their costumes and each performance was met
with a resounding applause. All the performers felt
and looked like stars and had a great time.
Ave. U Artwork Honored
As “Best” In The U.S.A.
MTA Arts for Transit today announced that the
art installation at the Avenue U subway station in
Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, was named one of the
best public artworks in the United States at the
2012 Americans for the Arts Convention held in
San Antonio in June. Photos of the artwork are
available at http://flic.kr/s/aHsjAnsoTo
Brooklyn Seeds, created by Jason Middlebrook
in 2011, is a giant mosaic of flowers climbing up
the wall of the station. The piece was created
using vibrant glass mosaic and ceramic tile by
Miotto Mosaic Art Studio. The plants are based on
wildflowers that grow in unlikely places in urban
neighborhoods, through cracks in the sidewalks,
and in alleys and along walls.
The artwork expresses the beauty where nature
and city intersect. His art is concerned with the
interaction between the organic and human in our
modern world. His recent work consists of acrylic
on wood planks that the artist sources from mills
in New York State and Massachusetts, bridging
the divide between nature and culture.
Brooklyn Seeds was commissioned by MTA
Arts for Transit as a part of the rehabilitation of
several stations on the Brighton line. To get a closer view of the mosaic, take the B or Q train to
Avenue U, and view the southbound stairwall
leading from the street level of the platform.

it that!) or not, he has been the first in line when it
comes to defending anyone he thinks has been
wronged by the Establishment.
Let’s face it. When it was felt that he was starting to make strides as a candidate during the waning weeks before the primary, people in
Washington started to run scared. Who needed this
radical in their midst? Of course, they didn’t mention that our country was founded by a bunch of
radicals. It’s just that they figured this guy was a
little too tough to take and has his priorities all
wrong.
We don’t know where he goes from here. His
wife, Inez, is an Assemblywoman, and it wouldn’t
be unheard of if he decided to switch with her and
try for a legislative seat Upstate. On the other
hand, word has it that he might be up for a run for
Brooklyn borough president. That’s a possibility
— if you want this man to be symbolic of what our
borough is all about.
No doubt there are some admirable qualities of
Charles Barron. His passion in fighting for the little guy is undeniable. If the battle was for the right
cause, I would hope he would be on my side; but
the battle first has to be just, and his priorities
would have to be straight.
Right now, the “little people” need a fighter
like that. Just not in Congress.
At the conclusion of the show, assistant dance
school teacher Rachel Barreau and her teen group
“Motion Sickness” performed a hip-hop routine and
showed the young dancers where hard work and
dedication can get them.
The performers practice year round in anticipation of their recitals. The behind the scenes preparation culminated in the two-and-a-half hour showcase.
The audience basked in the achievements of their tiny
little dancers. About twelve children, ranging in age
from four to ten years, delighted the crowd.

Air Conditioners Available For Low-Income New Yorkers
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo recently announced
assistance for low-income New Yorkers whose health
issues pose a medical emergency during the extended period of hot weather forecasted for the state in the
coming days.
“The late spring and early summer have already
brought several heat waves, which can be life-anddeath matters for New Yorkers with serious medical
conditions,” Governor Cuomo said. “Senior citizens
and children are especially susceptible to heat-related
illness, and this initiative will provide low-income
homes with much-needed air conditioners so that
New Yorkers have the assistance they need to stay
cool and healthy.”
In order to protect vulnerable New Yorkers, New
York State has set aside $3 million in funding through
the federally-funded Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).
“Summer heat can be dangerous for many New
Yorkers,” said U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer. “I
strongly urge eligible families and seniors to take
advantage of this program to help keep their homes
safe and comfortable. As this heat wave moves across
New York, it’s absolutely essential that seniors aren’t
put at risk because they can’t afford to keep their
homes cool.”
“Working with our non-profit partners across the
state, we are happy to provide some relief to those
needy New Yorkers with medical conditions,” said
Darryl C. Towns, Commissioner/CEO of New York
State Homes and Community Renewal (HCR),
which administers LIHEAP. “But if you find yourself
without air conditioning and in a true heat emergency
this summer, please do not wait: head to your nearest
local cooling center.”
Eligibility for the program is determined by:
1) LIHEAP low-income guidelines. (For a fourperson household, the maximum gross annual
income to qualify is approximately $49,500.)
2) Having at least one household member who has
been diagnosed with a chronic or acute medical condition which is aggravated by exposure to extreme
heat situations.
3) A doctor providing written documentation
(dated within the last six months) that air-conditioning as-sistance is critical to prevent a heat emergency.
Households that have a working air conditioner or
have received one from the State in the last 10 years
are not eligible.
The cooling program is administered by HCR with
funding provided from the federal Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) funds, through the Office
of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA).
HCR’s network of 63 local Weatherization agencies
will provide delivery and installation of cooling program services, and funds have been allocated to ensure coverage in each of the state’s 62 counties.
Questions regarding the HEAP program should be
directed to local providers listed above or the NYS
HEAP Hotline at 1-800-342-3009.
Those who want to see if they qualify under
HEAP’s income guidelines should visit www.mybenefits.ny.gov

When An Apple Is Not An Apple
THE
POINTING FINGER
B Y D R . S T E P H E N F INGER
In a kingdom far, far away, there lived
a king who was sure that he always knew
better than anyone else what was best
for his people.
“I know better than anyone else what
is best for my people,” said the king.
One day, he learned that the lowly
apple actually had magical powers.
“Sir Axel of Rod,” he called out to his
trusty assistant, “issue an edict to my
people that each must eat an apple a day
because it will keep the witches and
warlocks away.”
“But sire,” replied Sir Axel, “though
this may be a noble goal, I am not sure
that it is within your power to issue such
an edict. You see, it says right here in the
Book of Majestic Powers, ‘A king may
command his people to eat oranges but
not to eat apples.’”
But the king was very insistent, as
kings often are, and so Sir Axel issued
the edict. When the people heard what
the king had done, they were very unhappy. Most did not like apples because the
peel was always getting stuck between
their teeth and because apples were
very expensive in the kingdom. And
so, the people did the only thing they
could do. They petitioned Lord John of
Roberts and his band of merry Court
Jesters to come to their aid. The Merry
Jesters listened attentively as the people
explained why the king had no right to
make them eat apples and then they listened to the representatives of the king
explain why he did. And then they pondered. Finally, the Jesters announced
they had reached a verdict and that they
would announce it on the last day before they were to leave for vacation and
would be “outta here” for three months
beginning right after the verdict was announced.
“A King clearly has no Apple Power,”
announced Lord John.
And the people cheered.
“However,” he continued, “I have studied the apple carefully. It is round, has a
sweet taste, and is red, which, when combined with yellow, produces an orange
color. Therefore, I have concluded that
the apple is really an orange and the
king does indeed have the power to compel his subjects to eat apples under the
‘Orange Power’.”
As the people began filing out of the
courtroom in a dejected state, the Merry
Jesters suddenly stood, linked arms and
began kicking their feet in the air as
they sang,
“We are the Merry Jesters. We played
a joke on you. You don’t have to eat an
apple. Not one or three or two.”
Now, if only life would imitate art...

DEP Issues Safety Alert On Opening Fire Hydrants
The New York City Department of Environmental
Protection reminds New Yorkers that opening fire
hydrants without spray caps is illegal, wasteful and
dangerous. Illegally opened hydrants can lower
water pressure and put lives at risk if there is a fire.
Children can also be at serious risk, because the
powerful force of an open hydrant without a spray
cap can knock a child down, causing serious injury.
The unauthorized opening of New York City fire
hydrants often spikes during heat waves. Firefighters
need adequate water pressure to put out fires.
Opening a hydrant without a spray cap lowers water
pressure and can hinder firefighting by reducing the
flow of water to hoses and pumps. The reduction of
water pressure resulting from illegally opened
hydrants can also cause problems at hospitals and
other medical facilities. Opening a hydrant illegally
can result in fines of up to $1,000, imprisonment for
up to 30 days, or both. New Yorkers should call 311
to report open fire hydrants.
Hydrants can be opened legally if equipped with
a City-approved spray cap. One illegally opened
hydrant generally releases more than 1,000 gallons
of water per minute, while a hydrant with a spray cap
releases 20 to 25 gallons per minute. Spray caps can
be obtained by an adult 18 or over, free of charge, at
local firehouses.
New Yorkers are urged to report illegally opened
fire hydrants to 311 immediately.
DEP manages the city’s water supply, providing
more than one billion gallons of water each day to
more than nine million residents, including eight
million in New York City. NYC Water is delivered
from a watershed that extends more than 125 miles
from the city, and comprises 19 reservoirs, and three
controlled lakes. The in-city distribution network
consists of 6,600 miles of tunnels and water mains,
and includes approximately 109,000 fire hydrants
throughout the five boroughs. For more information,

He Knows Me Well
By Theresa Woltanski
©2011 Chicken Soup for the
Soul Publishing, LLC.
“Chicken Soup for the Soul: Married Life”
Years ago, shortly after my second child was born,
I took up swimming laps to get in shape. I bought a
Master padlock for my swimming locker. It was a
beauty — a brilliant red body with black lettering
and a shiny silver hasp. Seems like a strange thing to
grow fond of, but a red padlock is a whole lot more
zippy than one of those plain silver ones. Plus it was
really easy to pick out as I staggered around the
locker room at six in the morning.
A few years later, we bought a little farmhouse out
in the country and moved out of our city house. My
swimming habit died out with the distance. My poor
lock went into the junk drawer, and over time I forgot the combination.
One day, while cleaning up a pile of paperwork, I
found the magic numbers. Excited that at last I could
once again use my scarlet beauty, I immediately went
to the Rolodex and filed the little laminated chunk of
paper.
Months later, my daughter needed the lock for school.
I nearly cackled in my glee, “I know where the combination is!” and ran to the Rolodex.
I started with “L.” No combination. I tried “M”
for Master. No combination. I tried “C” and “P” too,
but there was no combination to my padlock anywhere. I went through it again. Not under “lock.” Not
under “combination.” Not under “Master.” I absolutely
knew I’d filed that slip of paper. I just didn’t have a
clue what letter I’d filed it under.
I stomped into the kitchen. Bill was working away
at the counter on supper, and I let loose, telling him
all about how I was certain I had filed the missing
combination, and now it was nowhere to be found.
Bill got a little smile on his face.
“What?” I said irritated.
“Have you checked under ‘R’ for ‘red’?” he asked.
I rolled my eyes. “Why would I file it under that?
That’s goofy.”

Bill shrugged. “I’m just saying maybe you should
check under ‘R.’”
“Sure,” I said and stomped out again. There was
no way I’d filed those numbers under red.
Later that night, I was addressing some cards and
had the Rolodex out. Maybe I should go through it
one more time, I thought. I pulled up the cards under
“C” for starters. Nothing. Next I flipped through to
“L.” Not a number to be had. Since I was right there
in the alphabet, I continued through the “M’s.” Nope.
Bill’s words went through my head, “Maybe you should
try ‘R’ for ‘red.’”
Now I knew that made absolutely no sense. But I
also knew that those numbers were in that Rolodex
somewhere; all I had to do was find them. I flipped
to the “R’s.”
The very first card under “R” was written in my
handwriting. A small laminated form with a series of
numbers was taped to the card. In big letters at the
23
top, it said “Red Combination Lock.”
I walked into the kitchen where Bill was measuring out coffee for tomorrow’s brew. He looked up at
me as I came in, eyebrows raised.
“You were right,” I said. “I filed the combination
under ‘R’ for ‘red.’”
He started to laugh, which got me started too. Then he
gave me a hug.
“How did you know?” I said. “That makes absolutely no sense.”
He went back to setting the timer on the coffeemaker, shrugging as he said, “I just know you.”
Yes, he does.
You know what one of the best things about being
married is? If you ever forget who you are, there’s
always somebody around to help you figure it out.

Disability: An Overlooked
Threat to Retirement
becoming disabled, and six in 10 workers have never discussed how they would
pay their bills during an income-limiting illness or injury.
Sound financial planning, preferably with the help of a qualified financial advisor, is critical to being prepared for the financial risks that can
result from losing your income because
of disability. The planning process
should include determining your necessary living expenses, as well as the
“added costs” of losing your income,
such as funding your retirement plan
and covering additional medical care
expenses and COBRA premiums. It’s
also important to understand what
sources of income may be available
to you if you become disabled, such as
your employer’s sick pay and longterm disability plans, social security
disability insurance and worker’s compensation. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle to reduce your odds of becoming disabled is a key, yet often-overlooked, financial planning action.
“Good disability financial planning is essential for all workers,”
states Taylor. “The CDA is working
hard to encourage all working Americans to be better prepared to help
secure their financial well-being today and into retirement, in the event
they experience a long-term disability.”
(NewsUSA) - Tough economic
times are threatening the financial
security of more workers, including
their dreams of a secure retirement.
The Council for Disability Awareness
(CDA) paper “Worker Disability: A
Growing Risk to Retirement Security”
addresses people’s widespread unawareness about the growing incidence of
disability and the financial risks an unexpected accident or illness can have
on workers’ retirement savings.
“The responsibility for retirement
funding has essentially shifted to the
individual,” says Robert Taylor, president of the CDA. “Most Americans
just don’t understand that their chances
of becoming disabled are on the rise.
Most employees don’t realize that if
their income stops, so do contributions
to their 401(k) plan.”
Studies predict that three in 10 workers entering the workforce today will
experience a serious disability before
retirement. The CDA paper notes that
the number of disabled workers has
increased an alarming 35 percent since
2000 – a trend attributed mostly to an
aging workforce, the growth of lifeextending medicines, and the declining general health of the population.
Yet, according to the CDA Web site,
www.disabilitycanhappen.org, close
to 90 percent of workers significantly
underestimate their own chances of

YOU ASK THE SENIOR QUESTION
WE FIND THE SAVVY ANSWER
Voluntourism: A Growing Alternative
Travel Option Among Retirees
Dear Savvy Senior
Can you write a column on volunteer vacations? My husband and I are both in our 60’s
and are interested in taking a service-oriented
“altruistic” vacation this summer but could use
some help.
Retired Travelers
Dear Retired,
If you’re looking to do more on your vacation than relax in the sun or go sightseeing,
volunteer service vacations – also known as
voluntourism – are a great alternative and a
growing trend among retirees. Here’s what you
should know.
Voluntourism
Nowadays, you don’t need to join the Peace
Corps to travel to exotic destinations and serve
others. Many organizations today offer shortterm volunteer projects overseas and in the
U.S., lasting anywhere from a few days to a
few months.
Common program themes include teaching
English, working with children and teens, building and repairing homes and schools, and assisting with community or environmental projects. In addition, volunteer vacations also give
travelers the opportunity to experience the culture more fully and connect with the local people
– much different than your run-of-the-mill sightseeing vacation.
Most volunteer vacation groups accept singles,
couples and families and you don’t need to speak
a foreign language. Costs typically range from
around $700 to $1,500 a week, not including
transportation to the country your site is in.
Fees typically cover pre-trip orientation information, room and board, on-site training, ground
transportation once you get there, the services
of a project leader, and a contribution to the local
community that covers material and services
related to the project. And, if the organization
running your trip is a nonprofit, the cost of your
trip, including airfare, is probably tax deductible.
Where to Look
While there are dozens of organizations that
offer volunteer vacations, here are some good
ones that attract a lot of retirees.

How to Choose
With so many different volunteer vacations to
choose from, selecting one can be difficult. To
help you decide, you need to think specifically about what you want. Ask yourself: Where
you want to go and for how long? What types
of work are you interested in doing? What
kind of living situation and accommodations
do you want? Do you want to volunteer alone
or with a group? Do you want a rural or urban
placement? Also consider your age and health.
Are you up to the task, or do you have any
special needs that will need to be met?
Once you figure out what you want and spot
a few volunteer vacations that interest you, ask
the organization to send you information that
describes the accommodations, the fees and
what they cover including their refund policy,
the work schedule and work details, and anything else you have questions about. Also, get
a list of previous volunteers and call them. Don’t
sign up with a group that won’t supply you with
this information.
Other Tips
If you’re volunteering outside the U.S. find
out if any vaccinations and/or preventative medications are recommended or required at cdc.gov/
travel. Also, check to see if your health insurer
provides coverage outside the U.S. Many health
policies (including Medicare) don’t pay for
medical expenses outside the border. If you’re
not covered, you should consider purchasing a
policy (see quotewright.com or insuremytrip.com)
that includes emergency evacuation coverage.

Get Beautiful Summer Skin
(StatePoint) From flowy dresses to
oversized sunglasses and strappy sandals – summer is synonymous with
chic style. But are you ready to reveal
your skin? Here are three tips that will
help ensure a healthy glow all season
and all year long.
Do It Daily: SPF Protection
Keep wrinkles and discoloration at
bay with a sunscreen that offers protection against UVA and UVB rays.
“With most
sunscreens, an
SPF 15 product
blocks about 94
percent of UVB
rays, an SPF 30
blocks 97 percent of UVB
rays, and an SPF
45 blocks about
98 percent of
rays,” says San
Diego-based dermatologist Dr.
Jeffrey Benabio.
To ensure you’re using the right
amount of sunscreen, apply enough to
fill a shot glass 30 minutes before
heading outside. Remember to reapply SPF every two hours and after
swimming or towel-drying the skin.
Refine Your Skin
“Your skin needs extra care in
summer,” says Dr. Benabio. Higher
temperatures mean revealing more
skin, so make sure your delicate
underarms aren’t affected by shaving
irritation. You may not realize the
effect daily shaving can have on
underarms, but clinical data shows it
reduces the top layer of skin by 20
percent. As a result, skin loses 50 percent more moisture, leading to dryness and irritation. Thirty-two million
women in the U.S. experience underarm red and dark marks due to shaving irritation.
Pamper Your Feet
When the weather
is warm, get your
feet out of socks and
into sandals. Make
sure they look great
by getting pedicures
throughout the season.
If it has been a
while since your last
visit, opt for an electric callus
removal treatment. It costs more than
standard exfoliation, but is worth the
price if you have rough soles. Another
tip to get your feet summer-ready is to
skip dark polish and opt for the season’s must-have colors, like cheery
pinks and seafoam greens.
Looking great in summer may
seem like a lot of work, but incorporating a few changes to refine your
skin can help you look your best.
A Complex Relationship: Children And Hostility Toward Parents – Part 3
By Michael Feld,
L.C.S.W.
Certified Psychoanalyst,
Licensed Psychotherapist
Many graduating students from high schools all
over our city are currently trying to decide which colleges and universities to go to. Many will be going
to schools upstate or out of state for the next four
years. Many may never live at home with their parents again. They will either go on to graduate
schools or enter the business world. This will probably be the first major separation for these young
men and women. The impact on their parents will
also be significant, since separating from people we
love, or have grown close to or comfortable with, is
always difficult.
What is it about separation that makes it so difficult? After all, going away to college is a very creative, constructive and life-affirming experience. For
one thing, separation throws us into the middle of
much deep conflict. We define conflict as any situation where we are torn between contradictory issues
and feelings. Having to decide between desires that
lead in opposite directions is exactly what conflict is
all about. Some, perhaps many, of these graduating
students may be torn between wanting to go away to
school and a desire to remain safe at home within the
comfort of their families.
These students in fact are torn between their passion and desire to grow into fuller, independent
human beings, and the need and hope that they will
still be safe and able to count on and depend upon the
security their families offer. Any decision these
young men and women make requires much courage
on their part and support on the part of their families.
Psychoanalyst Karen Horney described the preconditions necessary for recognizing contradictory
issues and for making decisions on them. Every conscious conflict can be approached as follows:
1. We must become aware of what our wishes are,
or even more, of what our feelings are.
2. We need to understand our values. This
includes our moral values as well as knowing our

Ten Crucial Nutritional Tips For Senior Men
(StatePoint) Prostate cancer is the
most common non-skin cancer in
America – and the older you are, the
more likely you are to be diagnosed
with this serious disease.
“There is good news for those who
want to take control of their risk,” says
Dan Zenka, Senior Vice President of
Communication at the Prostate Cancer
Foundation (PCF). “Recent research
shows that eating right can help
decrease the chance of developing
prostate cancer, reduce the likelihood
of recurrence and slow the progression
of the disease.”
Here are 10 nutrition tips for men to
stay healthy as they age:
• Avoid “empty” calories by eliminating junk food. Snack on fruits, vegetables and nuts instead. Swap out
soda and opt for water or natural
juices.
• Rely on herbs, spices and garlic
for flavor, not sugar, salt and fat.
• While fat is a necessary component of a healthy diet, limit the amount
you consume from red meat and dairy.
Avocados, olives, nuts, seeds and tofu
are healthy sources of fat. Trans fatty
acids found in margarine, however,
should be avoided.
• Avoid taking more than 1,500 mg
of calcium per day. Skip the supplements and consume your calcium from
leafy green vegetables, beans and fish.
• Eat more fish. Evidence from several studies suggests that fish can help
protect against prostate cancer because
they contain "good fat," particularly
omega-3 fatty acids.
• A lack of vegetables in the diet is
a risk factor for aggressive prostate
cancer. Vegetables in the broccolifamily are especially beneficial. Use
olive oil for cooking for a maximum
health benefit.
• Avoid over-supplementation with
megavitamins. Too many vitamins,
especially folate, may “fuel the cancer,” and while a multivitamin is not
likely to be harmful, if you follow a
healthy diet with lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fish, and healthy
oils, you likely won’t even need a
multivitamin.
• Marinate meat and turn it frequently to prevent charring. Charred
meat of any type can produce carcinogens. Alternatively, get your protein from vegetarian sources.
• No matter how sound your diet is,
regular exercise is its perfect pair.
Recent research has suggested that
exercise may be one of the best natural
antioxidants, eliminating inflammatory molecules that drive cancer.
• While eating well and exercising
may make a difference in the long run,
it doesn’t always eliminate your risk of
having prostate cancer.
Start talking to your doctor about
your prostate health and remember to
get a prostate screening during your
annual physical.
While cutting out your favorite
foods may seem tough at first, there
are delicious ways to enjoy foods that
are good for you. For recipe ideas,
visit www.pcf.org/nutrition.
Nutrition and wellness go hand-inhand. Taking control of what you put
into your body is a great first step
toward reducing your risk for prostate
cancer and other dangerous diseases.

Have More Fun,
Stay Safe In The Sun!
(NAPSI)—You may find you can have more
time and money for life’s delights when you heed
these 10 hints on safe warm-weather fun:
1. Stay safe at poolside. Keep each child within arm’s length at all times; designate an adult as
water watcher; ensure that the pool’s fence is
always locked; and install both gate and pool
alarms.
2. Liven up the landscape. Use shrubs for form,
flowering plants for color and perennials for
cheery blooms with little tending.
3. Beautify your backyard furnishings. If
mildew appears on outside chairs and tables,
wash the fabric and dry it in the sun. Then mix
together equal parts lemon juice and salt; spread
this on the stain. Dry the fabric in the sun again
and rinse thoroughly.
4. Keep toys and tools neat. Two simple rules
for avoiding backyard clutter: Air out wet things
by storing them in big mesh bags or open-weave
crates. Toss all the little bits into a clear plastic
shoe organizer hung on a fence or nearby wall.
5. Exercise your right to a water workout.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, just 21 minutes a day of exercising in
a pool can cut your risk of chronic disease.

HEALTH
Beware Of “Look-Alikes”
(NAPSI)—Looks can be deceiving-especially in the cold sore category. According to a survey commissioned
by
GSK
Consumer
Healthcare, 66 percent of Americans
believe that when “look-alike treatments” have the same or similar packaging as the name-brand treatment,
it’s likely they also have the same
ingredients. Although some cold sore
medications may look alike, they do
not necessarily contain the same
ingredients.
“Even though two cold sore treatments have packaging and claims that
look similar to Abreva, the ingredients are a different story,” said pharmacist and Abreva spokesperson Pam

convictions and beliefs.
3. We must be willing and able to
renounce one of the two contradictory
issues.
4. We must be willing and able to
accept the responsibility for our decision. This means accepting the risk of
making a wrong decision and the willingness to bear the consequences without blaming others.
Being able to choose, being able to
renounce one side for another, requires
much inner strength. It means our
accepting that we can’t have it both
ways. Life requires our making choices and our having to let go of one thing
in order to have another. This is the
Marquess, Pharm.D. The Wakefield
Research survey conducted for
Abreva, the leading cold sore treatment, also found that 93 percent of
Americans have purchased the “lookalike treatments” in the past because
they are less expensive.
When it comes to treating your
cold sore, skipping an effective treatment for a less expensive one that
doesn’t contain a healing ingredient is
not the best way to remedy your ailment.
Tips to help you make informed
decisions about cold sore treatments:
• Compare active ingredients.
• Check the labels for uses.
• Ask your pharmacist.
course life takes. For the graduating
student, the courage to step away from
family and feel one’s full creative
capacity is the process of growth. For
the parents, the ability to let their child
go with love and support is also
growth.
For both student and parent, it is
important to know that in fighting a
choice and not letting to, growth may
be interrupted and set back. When this
occurs, disappointment and anger can
develop and express itself in the form
of depression. Karen Horney put it
best when she wrote, “We believe that
human beings, like all other living
organisms, have the innate urge to
grow and are unhappy if they don’t.”

EVENTS
“Black Folk Don’t” Series
“Black Folk Don't” is a statistical
fact. Black Folk Don't go to the doctor
in the numbers they should. In other
cases, “Black Folk Don't” is an anecdotal idea and concept that is based on
a negative stereotype. Director Angela
Tucker shows us that an irreverent
discussion of stereotypes can be much
more rewarding than cantankerous
debate in the web series Black Folk
Don't, an exploration of those grey
areas between stereotype and truth.
This event is free and open to the public. This event takes place Monday,
July 9th, 7 p.m. at Long Island
University's Spike Lee Screening
Room, 1 University Plaza.

New York Families for Autistic Children held its Sixth Annual Car Wash and Car Show last
Sunday in the Lindenwood section of Howard Beach.
More than 200 cars were washed by more than 100 volunteers using the secured parking facility of Queens County Savings Bank (photo above), while 32 automobiles (photo below) showed
off what they are made of, vying for nine trophies in three categories, voted on by residents who
made a donation.
This event was to allow the children of NYFAC to enjoy a day out, be productive and raise
money for the organization that provides various services for children with autism, as well as other
developmental disabilities.
Within the next few months, NYFAC will be opening an autism center in Howard Beach to provide services for adults by day and after school services in the afternoon for children and assorted evening programs. Among the many services to be offered will be an arts and crafts program
and a music room. Watch for the grand opening announcement.
