Fortunately, the volunteer spirit is still alive, especially with organizations like Rebuilding Together NYC that donate their time – and solar-powered lights – to neighborhoods like Gerritsen Beach, an area severely devastated by the superstorm. Thanks to Rebuilding Together’s Light It Up program, Gerritsen Beach residents now have 45 new solar-powered, motion-sensor safety lights on the exterior of their homes. These new lights will increase safety as they light up otherwise dark streets. On July 26th, volunteers from Bike & Build, an organization that raises awareness and money for affordable housing efforts by cycling across the country and volunteering with various rebuilding and housing organizations, helped install the light fixtures. Their efforts are just one more small step in the recovery effort to make the lives of Sandy survivors better each day. Photos courtesy of Rebuilding Together NYC Founded April 22, 1921 by Walter S.

Photos and text by Linda Steinmuller Canarsie Pier is usually quiet around lunchtime on any given weekday – except for this past Monday. Police from the 69th and 75th Precincts, along with Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Park Police and NYPD Harbor and Emergency Service Units swarmed the area and made a grisly discovery - an unidentified body floating in the water. Jamaica Bay has seen its share of floating bodies over the years – and this week was no exception. At approximately 12:06 p.m. on August 4th, NYPD sent their harbor unit to the waters near Elders West Island, east of Canarsie Pier, where they discovered an unidentified male, who was unconscious and unresponsive, apparently floating in the water. While the body was found in the confines of the 75th Precinct, neighbor- 3 Canarsie Courier August 7, 2014 ing precincts took part in the search. According to police, EMS responded and pronounced the person DOA (dead on arrival) at the morbid scene. The reported that the man’s body was found bound - his legs tied up with rope - and stuffed in a duffel bag. The Harbor Unit took the body to the Fort Tilden U.S. Coast Guard Station in the Rockaways. Sources also say the Medical Examiner will determine the cause of death and the investigation is ongoing. As of press time, the police have not identified the man. Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1800-577-TIPS (8477).

Victim’s 10-Year-Old Sister Speaks At Anti-Violence Event By Keciah Bailey When 19-year-old Nicholas Walton was shot and killed on East 93rd Street back in February, the murder left the victim’s family, as well as the community and police, with many unanswered questions and a deep sense of loss. Recently the 69th Precinct’s Crime Prevention Officer Dennis Johnson and Youth Officer Lisa Cordero held a gun violence and gang awareness event at P.S./I.S. 66. Walton’s 10year-old sister Kristina was present at the event and volunteered to speak about how gun violence personally affected her family and her community. In a moving speech, Kristina told the group of 6th to 8th graders of how losing her brother to gun violence impacted her and her family. “I am so sad because I didn’t get to spend enough time with him before he died,” Kristina told the audience. At the event, Walton’s 8-year-old brother, C.J., told the audience, “I miss how he played with me.” The teen was shot and killed on Tuesday, February 4th in front of 1351 East 93rd Street at 6:18 p.m. and the investigation is still ongoing. The NYPD is offering a $2,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and indictment of those responsible for the crime. Anyone with information on the homicide is asked to contact Detective Franklin at 718-257-6215, or call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS.

Last week, a vigil was held in the youngster’s honor – just days after news was released that the officers who shot Gray will not face a criminal prosecution. Viigil remembers slain teen. According to the , Gray’s family was informed that prosecutors said “they are not pursuing criminal charges against the (officers) and will not be presenting to the grand jury.” Family, friends and residents gathered near the shooting scene at Church Avenue and East 55th Street, lighting candles and signing posters with Poster with heartfelt messages. heartfelt sentiments – crying that justice was not served. Although investigators claimed Gray was “acting suspiciously” and they contended that he pointed a gun at two plainclothes officers, many say police used unreasonable force by shooting at Gray numerous times.

Rybstein State Senator John Sampson is feeling some heat in his reelection bid. With rivals espousing platforms ranging from the hardcore radical left, to traditional labor unionist policies, to socially conservative Reagan Democrats, Sampson, who enjoys the highest name recognition among those vying for his job, can win the primary simply by watching his rivals split the “anti-Sampson vote,” according to local political hacks. As of press time, no less than four competitors across the political spectrum have thrown their hats into the ring in their attempt to oust the embattled senator this election cycle. (See Sidebar #1) Sampson, whose 19th district stretches east from affluent Mill Basin through working class Georgetown, Flatlands, and Canarsie then onto rough and tough East New York, with a smattering of Sheepshead Bay mixed in, will face off against his rivals (See Sidebar #2) on September 9th in the State Primary election. The winner of the Democratic Senate Primary will run against nominees from other parties in the November 4th general election. The Senator, who maintains a district office at 1222 East 96th Street in Canarsie, took additional heat in the press last week when his campaign disclosed that multiple donors – all using his East 96th Street office address – have funded the account going back to January 2014. As of July 29th, Sampson’s campaign account was actually $28,746.79 in the red, raising eyebrows as to how money was being spent and what bank would let a campaign account fall out of bed like that without closing the account. Sampson, who is well-liked in the district, has sponsored a number of street fairs in the past, including the giant street fair held at the Hebrew Educational Society (H.E.S.) each year for neighborhood kids. The venerable Canarsie Thomas Jefferson Democratic Club is backing Sampson, according to Frank Seddio, Kings County Democratic leader and TJ Club pillar. “I am with John one million percent,” said Seddio. According to Seddio, “No one has helped the community’s (Hurricane) Sandy victims like John Sampson. He’s been a stalwart supporter of funding to help them. No other candidate in the race has a track record of public service like his.” When asked to comment on Sampson’s legal battles, Seddio said, “Call me old-fashioned. But I believe that a person is innocent until proven guilty.” And what’s going on over by the Grand Old Party? Kings County Republican boss Craig Eaton, who has his own rival for Republican Party control in Brooklyn in the form of State Senator Martin Golden (R, C-22nd District), told the , “The Golden faction of the party would be behind any senate (19th District) candidacy on the Republican ticket this fall. I am not aware of any Republican running for that seat.” Board of Election records show that Evelin Lausell has filed and will be running on the Republican line for state senate. Lausell is supposedly backed by Golden and, according to Can two properties, one straddling the Brooklyn – Queens border and the other in Windsor Terrace, share a dark secret? According to an indictment unsealed in May 2013, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, Loretta Lynch, alleges that Senator Sampson was involved in an embezzlement and cover-up scheme spanning from 1998 until 2008. The embezzlement of $440,000 reportedly took place while Sampson was judicially appointed to supervise the disposition of two foreclosed properties - 165 Forbell Street and 1915 Eighth Avenue. Sampson is said to have funneled some of those funds into his failed attempt to unseat then-Brooklyn District Attorney Charles J. Hynes, a fellow Democrat. In the hotly-contested D.A. primary of September 2005, Hynes emerged victorious by only four percentage points, having defeated Sampson and two other challengers in the race. To this day, most pundits believe that, had the race been between just Hynes and Sampson, Sampson would have handily defeated Hynes. Hynes ultimately lost his Kings County chief prosecutor job in 2013 to Ken Thompson. In addition, Sampson is accused of attempting to coerce a former associate into divulging information about the fed’s investigation into his case and of making threats that were on - Running on the Working Families Party line. Has the backing of the 1199 SEIU United Healthcare Workers East Union. Smitherman advocates for more public funding for education, housing, and medical care. He was his union’s former political coordinator. - Running on the Conservative line. The only candidate proposing less regulations and support for small businesses. A social conservative, Weir also supports funding of senior programs, affordable housing, and technology in the schools. Dell Smitherman Senator John Sampson Elias Weir Republican Party operatives in Brooklyn, also has the quiet blessing of Chairman Eaton, who was not available for comment. Golden is also backing Jeff Ferretti of National Brokerage in Old Mill Basin for the vacant 59th Assembly District seat formerly held by Alan Maisel. On the democratic side of the race will be Roxanne Persaud of the 69th Precinct Community Council. Senator Sampson’s office has not returned our calls, as of press time. recorded phone lines. It is believed that Sampson was ensnared during the corruption investigation of fellow Democratic State Senator Shirley Huntley, who pleaded guilty to ripping off a charity which she controlled. Huntley was sentenced to a year in prison in May 2013 after cooperating with investigators. Last February, Sampson was socked with another federal indictment - alleging that he covered up his ownership interest in a Brooklyn liquor store. According to the feds, Sampson lied when he denied ever asking a worker to secure tax breaks for his spirits business. Sampson came into office in 1997, taking the reins from State Senator Howard Babbush. He rose to positions of prominence including chairmanships of the Judiciary Committee and Ethics Committee. He also served as the Democratic Conference Leader. Sampson’s trial, which is scheduled for an undetermined date in 2015, has led to speculation that he might have some time to cooperate with the ongoing investigation. To this date, Sampson insists on his innocence. - U.S. Army vet.

Telling It Like It Is By Dara Mormile ver watch the series ? I love that show! What I love even more is knowing that I never want to live like those dysfunctional people who just can’t get rid of the crap they have piling up in their home. Ugh! The filth…The trash…The disgusting odors… Wait…You don’t have to watch to experience what it’s like to live among trash and unwanted debris that’s been deposited in a clean, open space for no reason! A few weeks ago, E Canarsie could be compared to a hoarder’s dumping grounds – with household refuse and pedestrian trash piled up on corners and on the sidewalks. Overgrown weeds sure seem like a dandy place to hide all those cups, food containers and toilet seat (yeah, when I saw the photo of the toilet seat, the word “dumped on” really came into focus!). Who’s doing all of this dumping? Are these culprits Canarsie residents who simply can’t wait ‘til trash is picked up on their block? Are they residents whose homes look like trash, so they have to make our community look like trash too? One of the obvious answers is that they have no respect and no pride in their neighborhood. Forget about being caught and facing a hefty fine – if someone stops their car and throws crap out of their window and into overgrown brush, who’s to catch the culprits? Then, you have empty lots and abandoned properties where people dump huge debris like mattresses and computers…not such easy items to toss out of a car window. Canarsie doesn’t have a garbage landfill – but imagine if we did! Let’s get real! Most of the places you see piles of garbage is in front of closed businesses or among grass and weeds that look like an Amazon jungle. Let’s say you’re a homeowner and decide to take refuse from your house and dump it in an empty spot on the street. If you’re caught dumping, you should be punished by having to keep the smelly and decaying trash on your front lawn instead! You’re a pig – and pigs fair best when they’re rolling around in their own slop! You might think that one cardboard box…one empty coffee cup…one plastic bag won’t be noticeable if you throw it into the weeds in just the right way. Well, if 20…30…40…50 more people thought the same thing – and then buried their trash in the pile – they’re all ignorantly making this community look like a garbage tornado tore through the streets. What provokes the public to empty their garbage on our streets? I contend that it’s mostly Canarsie residents who are doing the dumping. Our residents know where the abandoned spots are – and what properties have been left vacant over the years. Those who live on a block where there’s an abandoned house KNOW that no one’s going to come outside and yell at them for tossing a sandwich wrapper in an unkempt area. Those who don’t live here might already be thinking, “What if a property owner or passerby catches me?” Secondly, out-of-towners probably pass our streets, see the random dumping that has taken place and say “How disgusting!!!” Canarsie has always dealt with overloaded trash receptacles in shopping areas. There’s always been overgrown weeds at various corners where property owners are too lazy to clean or prune grass. Our community is no stranger to vacant lots – just waiting for a developer to build something we don’t want in that space anyway! It still doesn’t give anyone the right to make our community a wasteland! God bless all of the youths who dedicate their time in cleaning up our streets and show dumpers that their crap does NOT belong on a quiet and serene block. Whoever’s treating our streets like it’s their personal garbage disposal, I hope someone mistakes YOUR home for a dumpster – those who trash should be treated like trash!

Local fisherman Andrew Lyte said he usually travels to different piers to fish, and post-Sandy, Canarsie is the only pier that remains untouched. “The walkway on the Emmons Avenue Pier [Sheepshead Bay] was completely damaged, yet in no time it was fixed,” Lyte said. “In other areas this doesn’t happen. They fixed so many damages in other areas after Sandy the subway, Battery Park – So why isn’t Canarsie Pier fixed?” Undoubtedly, the most unanimous complaint is the lack of working lights. Most fishermen agree that, of all the lights on the entire perimeter of the pier, perhaps no more than five work. Sal Amato, another local fisherman, asked the same question. “How come Coney Island was fixed in no time? Yet Canarsie Pier gets reopened and with no lights?” he demanded. Pete Nowak, a fisherman from Ridgewood who has fished at the pier for years before Hurricane Sandy, said prior to the storm maybe three-quarters of the lights worked. Now, maybe only three or four actually work. “I used to come out at night, but not anymore. It’s way too dark,” Nowak said. “Plus, at night there is a crazy rat problem.” Fishermen say the only alternative for those who choose to fish after sunset is to use headlights or crank lanterns. The lights at the entrance of the pier are smashed and lampposts are visibly broken. Most are missing bulbs or completely torn down, leaving broken posts that are structurally unsound and blocked off with rusty wire barricades. The pier is starting to become an eyesore. There are huge holes in the walkway, missing bricks and unsafe gaps by the guardrails and ditch-deep holes in the kids’ playground area where Amato says rats live. The reached out to the National Parks Service for com- ment and spokesperson for the Gateway National Recreation Area, Daphne Yun, said that within the next few weeks there will be a bid to secure contractors to repair the pier. Michael Hardaway, spokesperson from Congressman Hakeem Jeffries office, confirmed that there is $3 million allocated for repairs and that the Parks Department is in the process of soliciting contractors. Yun said there were two previous attempts to solicit contractors but both failed as the contractors stated that the $3 million offer was too low. Hardaway said while the office does acknowledge that repairs need to be done immediately, he cannot say how soon contractors will be secured nor can he give a timeline as to when any work can start. Both Lyte and Amato say they believe the primary reason no work has been done on the pier is because it is a predominantly black neighborhood. But Lenny Fogel, Vice President of the South Canarsie Civic Association and longtime advocate for the upkeep of Canarsie Pier said, while the pier has been terribly neglected, nothing has been done because residents don’t come together as a community and demand that the work gets done. “This is not an ethnic issue,” Fogel argued. “When there are quality of life issues, we cannot blame elected officials. If enough people come together peacefully, it will get done.” Among the laundry list of repairs needed, Fogel added that the bathrooms are in “third world condition.” The parking lot needs to be resurfaced, the barricades along the pier are rusty and unsightly and the archway at the entrance needs to be trimmed. Meanwhile, fishermen and residents will have to contend with the pier as it is. Yun said until contractors are secured, the Parks Department cannot even make small repairs to the walkway or the lights due to federal restrictions. “It’s all a part of the bigger infrastructure,” Yun said. “Resurfacing the walkway or fixing the lights is all a part of the packaging.” Pier conditions continue to decline.

Joanne Iuliucci, who calls Canarsie home, recently put her health and stamina to the test when she headed to Texas for the 2014 Transplant Games of America. The fact that she’s living with one healthy lung – which was donated to her years ago – didn’t stop her from proving that her emotional, mental and physical health are bigger than life. From July 11th – 15th, Iuliucci joined a team of nearly 100 participants who are battling different diseases, including liver and kidney conditions. They came together to form Team Liberty and competed in such sports like basketball and a 5K run. The events promoted organ donation and showed that organ donors are desperately needed. One of the challenges she faced during her trip was dealing with the Texas heat. “I worked out and went to the gym, but the air in Texas is a lot hotter, so I had to do a lot of breathing exercises and drink a lot of water.” Team Liberty came in fourth place out of eight in the 100-meter dash and Iuliucci shocked herself when she was able to jump five feet for one of the competitions. After the games, 57-year-old Iuliucci was very tired and it took her a week to recuperate. She’d asked her doctor about the dangers of participating in the games, but was given the green light and was told not to strain herself. “The competitions are proof that you can still live a full life after getting a transplant,” she said. “ I know what my body can handle, so I pushed only as much as I knew I could.” The has been following the resilient woman’s story since her lung transplant in June 2012. Iuliucci was diagnosed at age 52 with stage 4 COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) and emphysema and had to be on oxygen as well as nebulizers. She also had to wear a protective mask over her mouth in different social settings and public environments. Even though she quit smoking in 2012, after her mother passed away from lung cancer, she’d already been told by doctors that she would need a lung transplant in order to survive. The transplant on one of her lungs was successful and she was given a second chance at life – but she still had to be careful since her remaining lung was failing. “My weaker lung is only operating at three to five percent,” said Iuliucci, who grew up on Flatlands and Remsen avenues. “It started collapsing in February, but the lung that was donated to me is now operating a little over 70 percent.” Even though she now lives in Staten Island, she often returns to Canarsie. She attended local schools, including P.S. 114, Bildersee Junior High School and Canarsie High School. In October 2012, she came back to one of the community’s schools where her sister teaches – John Wilson I.S. 211. Staff supported Iuliucci’s chapter of “Fund For Lungs” fight by wearing t-shirts which read: “Out With The Old, In With The New.” The shirts, designed by Iuliucci’s daughter, helped spread awareness about lung cancer and COPD. The vibrant and spit-fire survivor met her own challenge in 2013 when she walked over the Brooklyn Bridge with friends and family to support the New York Lung Transplant Fund. Iuliucci is grateful for her donor every day and wants to give one of the medals she won in Texas to the donor’s family. She also plans on heading to Cleveland in 2016 to compete in another round of games. Nothing will stop this Canarsien from breathing new life into a challenging round of health obstacles.

Illuminating those blocks and avenues will hopefully deter criminal activity and, in the event of criminal activity, help better identify those who break the law. Random locations are usually chosen and changed every few weeks to see if these measures prove to be effective.

Due to low attendance, the CEC could not hold an official August meeting, which was scheduled for this past Monday. President of the CEC, James Dandridge, said by law the council is required to have six members present in order to have a quorum to hold a formal meeting. Dandridge and newly-elected treasurer Kathy Donovan were the only board members present. Dandridge said although most board members called in sick, the meeting is typically poorly attended in August, as board members are usually out on vacation at this time. Although the meeting was not official, Dandridge announced that Councilman Jumaane Williams donated a grant of $3,500 to the CEC. Allocated for the past fiscal year, funds will be used towards CEC resources, to be determined, for the upcoming school year. Dandridge also announced that there are still two vacancies on the CEC board for one English Language Learner (ELL) parent, whose child must be a student in an ELL program, and one parent member. The CEC held its elections last July and Dandridge was reinstalled as president for the upcoming school year. The CEC will meet again on September 8th at their district office at 7 p.m. An AC&C volunteer writes that “CAM might as well be an acronym for cuddly, affectionate, mush!….

Courtesy of NYPD Canarsie Courier August 7, 2014 15 Joe Torre - From Marine Park to Cooperstown At 74 years old, Joe Torre seems sanguine with his position in the annals of baseball. He freely admits he wasn’t inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame for his talents on the field as a player or for being a manager for three teams – the Mets, Braves and Cardinals – from which he was fired for poor performance. “You might as well cut to the chase; I’m here because of the New York Yankees.” But Torre also credited the fans from all the teams he worked for with inspiring him to succeed. “I’m here because of the fans,” Torre said. “The fans across the country have been great to me but the fans in New York, I want to tell you, you have turned New York City into a small town for me. Thank you very much.” Prior to the induction ceremony, Torre said, “I’m nervous as a cat. It’s something they can’t take away from you once you have it.” Torre lived on Avenue T and East 34th Street in the Marine Park section of Brooklyn, where his family owned a two-story brick house. He was often described as a soft, pudgy 230-pound youngster who came out of his shell during high school at St. Francis Prep when it was located in Brooklyn. Known as “Toots” in high school, Torre still holds a record for most doubles with 45. Torre was married three times. He has one son, Michael, by his first wife, Jackie, whom he married in 1963. He has two daughters, Lauren and Cristina, by his second wife, Dani, whom he married in 1968. Both of these marriages ended in divorce. On August 23, 1987, he married Alice (Ali) Wolterman, his third wife. They have a daughter, Andrea, who recently graduated from high school. Torre now lives in Los Angeles, California. He says his family wants to stay out there. On missing Brooklyn, Torre says, “The memories never go away. My sister just sold her house that she lived in and where I was basically raised. New York will always be home because it’s always com- 8/7/14 Joe Torre with Marc Gronich fortable. The fans in New York City have turned that city into a small town for me and that’s pretty cool.” Torre admits to being a New York Giants baseball fan growing up, even while in Brooklyn. “Even though I wasn’t a New York Yankees fan, you couldn’t help but admire Mickey Mantle. He was a mountain of a man for me,” Torre remembered fondly. Torre’s brother Frank, 82, was a player with the Milwaukee Braves and Philadelphia Phillies from 1956 to 1963. Recently suffering from heart and kidney ailments, he did not attend the induction ceremonies. Torre had another brother, Rocco, an officer with the New York City Police Department, who died in 1996. Torre has an older sister, Marguerite, who is a Roman Catholic nun, teacher and was the principal of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary School in Ozone Park, Queens. In 1999, Torre was treated for prostate cancer. He currently holds the position of Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations. He is rumored to be next in line to be the commissioner of Major League Baseball when Bud Selig retires in January of 2015. As a player for 17 years with the Milwaukee/Atl- anta Braves (1960 – 68), St. Louis Cardinals (1969 – 74) and New York Mets (1975 – 77), Torre had amassed a .297 batting average, 252 home runs and 1,185 runs batted in (RBI). Torre was a nine-time All-Star (1963–1967, 1970–1973) and a Gold Glove Award winner in 1965. As a Cardinal, where he was named the team captain, 1971 was Torre’s big year as a player. That year he accumulated three major player awards – National League Most Valuable Player, National League batting champion (.363 batting average and 230 hits) and National League RBI champion (137). Six short years later after playing in 2,209 games, he was finished as a player and moved on to managing. Torre managed 4,329 games for five teams – the New York Mets (1977 – 81), Atlanta Braves (1982 – 84), St. Louis Cardinals (1990 – 95), New York Yankees (1996 – 2007) and Los Angeles Dodgers (2008 – 10). He had a win-loss record of 2,326 to 1,997 and a winning percentage of .538 and is a four-time World Series champion (1996, 1998 to 2000). “In order to be ready you had to make stops and fail along the way,” Torre said philosophically. “I got fired three times. That’s in the category of failure. The only way you’re going to learn, the only way you’re going to get better is to experience setbacks and get yourself up, dust yourself off and move on. And learn from it. Learn from it.” Despondent, after being fired from the Braves as a manager after only three years, Torre moved to the broadcast booth where he spent six years as a color commentator for the California Angels (1985 – 90) and for NBC’s Game of the Week. Torre then took the helm as the skipper for the Cardinals. Then, during the end of 1995, the call came from New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner that would change Torre’s life and put him on the road to the Hall of Fame. That’s when Torre said he knew he had to take the job with the Yankees. “I knew that if I was going to find out if I could do this stuff, this was going to Continued on page 28 16 Canarsie Courier August 7, 2014 Local Boxers Storm Coney Island To Promote Upcoming Barclays Fight Card clones game, said. “It’s the most imBy Jerry Del Priore On Sunday at the Adidas store on the portant fight of my life.

The under 19 ladies saw the day’s first action in a match featuring newcomers and regulars from the same team. To help officials differentiate the two teams, both sides donned separate uniforms, blue for the older girls while the younger ladies wore white. Though the game was obviously evenly matched, it was still much of a competition, resulting in a draw of a point each between the two teams. One half of the Under 19 ladies from Queens playing in the match. The second half of the girls Under 19 team participating in match. Brooklyn Soca Lions pose for team photos with its head coaches. Head coaches with Brooklyn United. “Both sides played good. We moved the ball well. The goalkeepers on both sides were good as well. Number 11 of the other team was very aggressive and had a nice dribble, said the white team’s head coach Kettely Germaine, a former Haitian women’s national player. I was very impressed.” All of the young ladies showcased their passing, teamwork and communication skills. Some of the players, particularly some of the ladies on the blue team looked a little hesitant in terms of moving the ball, but they made up for what they lacked on offense with stellar defense even after they went down by a goal in the first half. Their goalie was a large part of their defense as she thwarted shot after shot sent her way. But the white team was just too good, scoring off a well-timed strong move on the ball by Iyesha Olivierre, who helped to generate a large part of her team’s offense in the early stages of the match. The blue team struggled to generate offense during the first half, but picked things up a bit in the second half as Shaniel Morgan successfully squeezed the ball into the net in the waning minutes of the match. It finally seized one of the many opportunities that escaped it for most of the game. “It was a good game. Looking to see more girls’ teams in the circuit. It was exciting to watch them play,” said blue team head coach Adebayo “Ben” Abiona.

In 1945, the U.S. Army set up 532 Quonset Huts (buildings made of corrugated metal with a semicircular cross section) for servicemen and their families along Seaview Avenue. There are varying accounts of the exact location of the huts but reliable sources agree that they roughly cover the area where the Bayview Houses sit today up to East 108th Street. Veterans lived in the emergency housing units until 1950 and the huts sat abandoned and decaying until 1954, when they were torn down. Around that time, Canarsie was experiencing a building boom and the Bayview Houses were erected in 1956. The photo on the right shows the Monroe Cohen Ball Fields on Seaview Avenue, between East 102nd and East 108th streets.

On Tuesday, the 69th Precinct along with the neighboring 63rd and 75th precincts united with elected officials and residents at the 31st annual National Night Out Against Crime to stand together in crime prevention efforts. Every year, on the first Tuesday of August, communities across the nation come together for National Night Out - sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch (NATW). The 69th Precinct’s Night Out was held near Rockaway Parkway and Foster Avenue. The 75th Precinct hosted their Night Out at Highland Park and the 63rd Precinct hosted their festivities at Marine Park. In each precinct, the evening began with the traditional march in each community as residents trekked along local streets to establish presence and send a clear message that they are taking the streets back and stomping out violence. Local organizations were also stationed at the events, offering helpful resources and information. There was free food, raffles and giveaways for everyone. Children in every community enjoyed bouncy houses, face painting and entertainment from Clown Ding-A-Ling and Magician Miles. While the 63rd Precinct enjoyed an antique car show, the 69th Precinct had a raffle and trivia contest. At the 75th Precinct’s Night Out, colorful characters fascinated the kids. Dance performances by youths also got the crowds going. Brooklyn D.A. Kenneth Thompson as well as City Councilman Alan Maisel and Senator John Sampson all came out in support of the community and joined the festivities, visiting each precinct in their district.

A black woman, believed to be in her mid 20s or mid 30s, reportedly had all the right accessories when she entered the Chase Bank at 2100 Linden Boulevard in East New York on Thursday, July 31st. At around 12:30 in the afternoon, she sported a pink bag, sunglasses and surgical gloves and headed into the bank. She was also wearing a white polo shirt with yellow stripes and a light blue baseball cap. Police said she passed a note to one of the bank’s tellers and demanded an unspecified amount of money. The teller complied and the woman fled the scene. There were no injuries and the determined diva is described as 5’7.” Anyone with information regarding this bank robbery is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS.

Golden (RC-I, Brooklyn) announced that he has joined forces with Catholic Charities of Brooklyn and Queens to host a back-to-school collection drive for local students in need. Residents are being encouraged to donate new school supplies including notebooks, crayons, backpacks, pens, pencils, rulers, highlighters, washable glue sticks, two-pocket folders, 3 x 5 line Index cards, etc. Senator Marty Golden stated, “As we turn the calendar on the month of August, we begin to prepare our students and families to go back to school. For some families, the need to get their kids ready to learn and participate in another school year poses a financial challenge, and so we are being asked to help out and make a donation of some essential items. This year I hope that this community will again come together to support our neighbors in need so their children can have the same opportunities this year in the classroom. I hope you will join me in making a State Senator Martin J. Golden donation.” Those wishing to make a donation of items can drop them off on or before Friday, August 15th at either of Senator Golden’s district offices at 7408-5th Avenue or at 3604 Quentin Road.

Continued from previous page What evolves from growing up under such adverse conditions is a way of behaving and going through life that is based on finding some sense of safety and security. This in turn leads to a rigid system of inner rules and regulations, which demands nothing short of perfection, greatness and glory. When such perfection is not achieved, we strike out—or, I should say, —at ourselves, in the form of self-hate. Self-hate can be expressed in many different ways, including: accident proneness, psychosomatic disorders, alcohol and drug addiction, compulsive gambling, guilty feelings, excessive and inappropriate worrying, competitiveness, perfectionism, criminal activity, depression, anxiety, suicide and behavior or action which is hurtful, punishing or damaging to oneself. No pill, no magic can make selfhate go away. Only a process of exploration and expression, such as psychodynamic psychotherapy, is designed to diminish self-hate and increase our mercy and compassion for ourselves. Tender Teeth . .S GA There’s a difference between a toothache and tender teeth. Some people experience the discomfort of a tooth that has suddenly become hypersensitive. It hurts when you sip a hot or cold drink, suck in cold RY .D S. R air, or eat foods that are sweet, AFAL, D sour or acidy. This happens more to children because their teeth are more sensitive. Usually, the tooth is tender only for a short time. The sensitivity soon goes away. This can begin like the tender tooth syndrome, when eating hot or cold foods or when you are chewing vigorously. But the toothache doesn’t go away. It stays and becomes worse, until you get the treatment you need. The pain becomes intense. The jaw begins to swell and you may experience fever. This usually means an abscess has formed in the tooth. Decay has eaten through the pulp and infected the gums and hard tissues. There may be a pocket of pus around the root.

When you are sitting on the train, they might kick you or bump into you while performing a routine. But I don’t think they should be arrested for doing that, because it was just an accident.” “No, the acrobatic/dance routine performers should not be arrested. They help New York City keep its artistic freedom and joyful energy.” “A train ride is meant for transportation - not for jumping around, swinging off poles like what the performers do. They take up space unnecessarily - and should be arrested for disturbing the peace.” “The acrobatic/street performers do not pose a danger and should not be arrested. They look for a car that is not full. And their performance is short and entertaining.” 28 Canarsie Courier August 7, 2014 Maddux along with Chicago White Sox slugger Frank Thomas. “There is a power to patience and persistence,” Torre acknowledged. “Baseball is a game of life. It’s not perfect but it feels like it is. That’s the magic of it. We are responsible for giving it the respect it deserves. Our sport is part of the American soul and it’s ours to borrow. Just for a while. This game is a gift and I am very humbled to receive its greatest honor.” Torre predicts Derek Jeter, Paul O’Neill and Mariano Rivera will be future Hall of Famers. Getting Notices From The IRS Joe Torre... Continued from page 15 be my best opportunity,” Torre recalled. Torre’s most successful stint as a manager came with the Yankees for 12 full seasons, which he led from 1996 to 2007, managing 1,942 regular season games (with a win-loss record of 1,173 to 767). He took the team to the post-season playoffs every one of his 12 seasons with the club, winning six American League pennants and four World Series. This was by far the longest tenure for a Yankees manager in the Steinbrenner era. Torre’s was the second-longest managerial tenure in the club’s history. Only Joe McCarthy (1931–1946) lasted longer. Torre says he was a players’ manager but it wasn’t until he became a winning manager with the Yankees that he realized that was not an insult but a compliment. In 2007, Torre got his 2,000th win and became the first major league employee to win 2,000 games as manager and have 2,000 hits. Torre later notched his 2,010th managerial win, overtaking Leo Durocher for ninth place on the MLB all-time managerial wins list. He also passed Casey Stengel on the Yankees all time managerial wins list in 2007 and recorded his 1,150th victory with the Yankees. Dubbed “Clueless Joe” when he was hired in 1996, Torre quickly proved that moniker to be a misnomer. He was named American League Manager of the Year twice, both times with the Yankees (1996, 1998). Yankees reached the postseason each year and won ten American League East division titles, six American League pennants, four World Series titles, and compiled a .605 winning percentage overall. With 2,326 wins, he is fifth all-time in MLB history for wins as a manager. The tragedy of 9-11 was tough for Torre and the Bronx Bombers. “There was so much motivation for us when we resumed play after 9-11, I remember telling our players that the N-Y on our hats represents more than the Yankees.” Torre said Yankees coach Don Zimmer taught him many lessons including how to be a thoroughbred horse racing enthusiast. “Aside from costing me a lot of money by intro- ducing me to horse racing, eight years sitting next to me, he made me the manager that I turned into. He had more guts than I did. He got me off the conservative platform.” Torre set the record straight about his final years with the Yankees. “The last few years with the Yankees weren’t a whole lot of fun. It was a lot of stress. It got a little ugly at the end. I had no intention of going anywhere else to manage. I was concerned if managing could be fun again (with the Dodgers) because the last couple of years it wasn’t fun in New York and it was (in Los Angeles).” Torre forgot to talk about Steinbrenner during his off-the-cuff speech during the induction ceremony. He did speak about his relationship with Steinbrenner to reporters before and after the induction. “George meant a great deal to me, allowing me to manage his club,” Torre said. “It wasn’t always easy. There was some misunderstanding when I left because they cut my salary and I said I was insulted. The insulting part was not the money they were offering me but the fact that they felt I had to be motivated to get my pay cut back. “It’s a business and I don’t feel anybody owes anything to anybody. I was trying to finish with the Yankees and then just go home. I know I didn’t make myself clear to Brian (Cashman) when I said I wanted a two-year contract and if I got fired the first year, you had to pay me for both years. My intention was just to manage for one more year.” In 2010, Torre returned to New York for a memorial service honoring Steinbrenner, who died July 13th of that year. Coming back to the new Yankee Stadium seemed surreal for Torre. Two other managers were inducted in the Baseball Hall of Fame with Torre – Tony LaRussa who managed the Chicago White Sox, Oakland Athletics and St. Louis Cardinals along with Atlanta Braves skipper Bobby Cox. “Our careers just mirrored each other’s and it would have been an injustice if we didn’t enjoy this together.” Also inducted into the Hall of Fame before a crowd estimated to be 48,000 spectators were Atlanta Braves pitchers Tom Glavine and Greg Each year the IRS mails millions of notices. Here’s what you should do if you receive a notice from the IRS: Don’t ignore it. You can respond to most IRS notices quickly and easily. And it’s important that you reply promptly. IRS notices usually deal with a specific issue about your tax return or tax account. For example, it may say the IRS has corrected an error on your tax return. Or it may ask you for more information. Read it carefully and follow the instructions about what you need to do. If it says that the IRS corrected your tax return, review the information in the notice and compare it to your tax return. , you don’t need to reply unless a payment is due. , it’s important that you respond to the IRS. Write a letter that explains why you don’t agree. Make sure to include information and any documents you want the IRS to consider. Include the bottom tear-off portion of the notice with your letter. Mail your reply to the IRS at the address shown in the lower left part of the notice. Allow at least 30 days for a response from the IRS. Keep copies of any notices you get from the IRS. Don’t fall for phone and phishing email scams that use the IRS as a lure. The IRS first contacts people about unpaid taxes by mail – not by phone. The IRS does not contact taxpayers by email, text or social media about their tax return or tax account. For more on this topic visit IRS.gov.

September 12, 19, 2013. 8-07-14 THE POINTING FINGER BY DR. STEPHEN FINGER The Tenth Justice? Under our Constitution, the duties of the President include ‘taking care that the laws be faithfully executed.’ There’s nothing in there about the President writing those laws or changing them. That’s a power granted to the Congress. And that doesn’t change if Congress chooses not to write laws which the president says are necessary. The President has the right to cajole, to persuade, to compromise but, if he is not successful, he still doesn’t have the right to legislate and he is not absolved of the duty to enforce laws already written. For instance, if the Congress passes a healthcare law and the President signs it, he does not have the right to unilaterally make changes that violate that law. Even if the law bears his name, it doesn’t mean that he owns it and can do with it whatever he wishes. Or, if the Congress chooses not to pass ‘immigration reform,’ the President’s duty is still to enforce current immigration law, regardless of how many ‘pens and phones’ he owns. And, if a president is allowed to usurp the functions of Congress, what’s next? What about those of the judiciary? The Supreme Court each year receives about 10,000 petitions of which it agrees to hear approximately 75. In all the other 9,025, the decisions of lower courts are allowed to stand. If a president feels that some of these lower courts acted unconstitutionally and he doesn’t agree with their rulings, does he have the right to intercede here too? “Don’t you think your gun control laws are a little...restrictive? Didn’t you guys ever hear of the 2nd amendment? No highway funds for you.” Remember, the next occupant of the Oval Office might not necessarily be ‘your guy’ (or gal). The Founders had a healthy respect for the dangers of concentrated government power and tried to control it with a system of ‘checks and balances’. It’s a good system, not perfect, but good. We should try to keep it. “So, sue me.” Right on, Mr. President.

Victor Ogunaale scored the Lions only goal while, Bradley Nestor scored United’s only goal. “We played a good game, good quality football. The future seems to be very bright. We need more for the young kids. It will help them go to college. We have a lot of talent within our communities,” said assistant United head coach Junior Nestor. The Lions got things off to a fast start pressing and challenging United for most of the game, particularly during the first few minutes of the first half easily scoring off a strong run and assist between two of its players. Though United’s shots on goal were either too high Eastern All-Star players pose for group photo with head coaches. WHY PAY MORE?

This stout defense not only helped to quiet the Lions roar, but helped to swing the momentum in their favor. It later scored to close out the first half. United would have more success on offense in the second half, where its speed and agility allowed it to control the tempo of the match and the second half of the game. It shut down the Lions aggressive attempts to score, while the Lions did the same for United in what was an evenly matched showcase of budding young stars. The last of the All-Stars to grace the field were the Caribbean Cup Players from the Eastern and Western countries in the tournament. Joining in on the fun for the first time was Senator John Sampson who arrived just in time for the start of the All Star match. Having never played together, it took both teams a while to settle into the match, but once they got into a rhythm, the East ran away with the All Star Cup with a final score of 4 goals to 1. “The game got off to a slow start. It was a mix of players from different teams. After we settled in, we put up a good fight” said head coach Arthur “Jetty” Mikes. Though the game was initially slow going, the fans and friends in attendance got to see their favorite players show off skills they normally wouldn’t be able to during a regular match. Players like Barbados’ Correy Barrow showcased flying acrobatics and great footwork for the West as it was defeated by the East. Barrow would also go on to score the East’s lone goal in the match off an assist from a fellow teammate. AlteJacques Samuel, Rhenson Hayes, Daniel Shaw and Curtis Jno Baptiste scored the East’s four goals. All in all it was great for day for the players and fans in attendance. All Star action signaled the end of the preliminary round and the start of playoff action, which is set to begin on Sunday, August 10th at 3:15 as Jamaica faces off against St. Lucia in game 1. Players jostle for ball throughout the match. Brooklyn United moves ball upfield against Soca Lions players. Winning Eastern All Star head coaches pose with the All Star Cup.
