Congressman Hakeem Jeffries spent two hours talking with his constituents and listening to their concerns. He told the that affordable housing was at the top of their list. “Spring Creek residents are concerned about recent rent increases. They also have quality of life concerns connected to the increase in crime and shootings in East New York.” There were positive comments too. Starrett City tenants say they are happy with their community – the absence of garbage and graffiti – but are discouraged by the number of power outages and how management handles residents’ issues. One tenant from Linden Houses said she is not happy with the maintenance and groundskeepers at her development. Other concerns ranged from the privatization of Social Security to concerns about war and peace in Syria, Iran and Iraq.

August 13, 2015 3 Canarsie Courier Guns Won’t Stop Blazin’ At Glenwood Houses Another man was shot dead in the Glenwood Houses – this time it was following a heated argument during what should have been a simple barbecue. According to police, 23-year-old Bruce Donovan died after he was shot multiple times in the chest and legs while he was standing outside of 5806 Farragut Road. The carnage, believed to be gang-related, took place at around 6:30 p.m. on Friday, August 7th. The reported that residents in the area heard 10 quick gunshots before everyone at the barbecue scattered in different directions. Reports also stated that the suspect – or suspects – fled in a black car toward Ralph Avenue. Another person at the shindig was shot in his left arm. Police sources said that while Donovan was pronounced dead at Brookdale Hospital, the second victim, whose name was not released, walked into Kings County Hospital for treatment on his own accord and is expected to survive his injuries. This was the second fatal shooting that took place at Glenwood Houses since the beginning of the month. On Saturday, August 1st, 24-year-old Donnell Smith was shot dead in an elevator at 901 East 56th Street just after 1:30 in the morning. Following the shooting, police with the 63rd Precinct found over 40 shell casings at the scene. A vigil was held for Smith, who lived in the housing project. According to police, Donovan did not live in Glenwood Houses and resided at St. John’s Place. No arrests have been made as of press time and the investigations are ongoing. Anyone who has information on the shootings that took place is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS. The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers Website at www.nypdcrimestoppers.com or texting their tips to 274637(CRIMES) then enter TIP577. All calls will be kept confidential. We know phone booths have gone the way of the dinosaur, but now there’s one less place to “phone home” along Rockaway Parkway – that’s because of a two-car crash that occurred around 10:30 p.m. on Friday, August 7th near the corner of Skidmore Avenue. It appeared that one of the cars was traveling southbound on Rockaway Parkway while another vehicle was making a left-hand turn onto Skidmore Avenue. The collision sent one of the cars crashing into the phone booth, knocking it over onto a U.S. Postal mailbox. According to News12 Brooklyn, EMS took two people to Brookdale Hospital for treatment. The extent of their injuries are unknown. Photos by R. Rivera Canarsie Courier 4 August 13, 2015 It’s Luau Time At Four Seasons! On Wednesday, August 5th, Four Seasons Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, 1555 Rockaway Parkway, hosted one of their many summer BBQ’s on the outside patio. An enjoyable afternoon was had by all in attendance, as residents sat back and took in the beautiful afternoon breeze, listened to music provided by “Make U Dance Entertainment” and enjoyed scrumptious food cooked on the grill provided by the Dietary Staff. BBQ chicken, corn on the cob and hot dogs were just a few of the menu items. Staff members from Nursing and Recreation – in between serving – entertained the residents by dancing to familiar songs and participating in various line dances. Special thanks go out to all the staff members who assisted with the summer BBQ – making sure everyone had a great time.

Reports stated that a 19-year-old was struck by the truck and suffered head injuries. It appeared that both vehicles were traveling northbound, crossing the busy intersection, when the crash occurred. The driver’s side of the two-door sports car was smashed up pretty badly, but you’d never know that the garbage truck was in an accident. Congressman Jeffries Addresses Iran Nuclear Plan The Flatbush Park Jewish Center in Mill Basin was filled to capacity Tuesday night as Congressman Hakeem Jeffries met with the Jewish community to discuss the attempt to stop Iran from producing nuclear weapons. Since 2006, the Permanent 5 (United States, China, France, the United Kingdom and Russia) and Germany, known as the P5+1, have negotiated with Iran to halt their use of nuclear power and impose sanctions on the nation. A proposal was created with less stringent demands on Iran in light of talks with China and Russia. “The P5+1, under the United States leadership, committed to the critical goal of ending all of Iran’s pathways to nuclear weapons,” community activist Stella Binkevich said. “However, a lot of the information around the deal that has been negotiated leads to many questions about whether the deal truly accomplishes that goal. Last spring, Congress passed a bill that gives them the right to approve or disapprove the deal after reviewing it. ” To answer some of these questions, Jeffries invited Dr. Jim Walsh, a Security Studies Program Research Associate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and The Israel Project’s Managing Director Omri Ceren to the meeting. Under the new deal, the P5+1 would allow Iran to continue to manufacture nuclear power for the continued life and growth of its citizens. However, access to materials will be limited in order to keep the ability to produce weaponry to a minimum. Cooperation with these demands will give Iran a specific timetable to be allowed to return to full nuclear capability. Lack of cooperation will lead to further sanctions against the nation and possibly increase the timetable. From a military standpoint, the U.S. would stand down from threatening action on Iran and leave the situation to inspectors from the P5+1 nations, a point dozens of current and past military representatives support. Congressman Hakeem Jeffries Despite the positive actions of the P5+1 – and a possible resolution for a major issue of Middle East peace – both sides of the congressional political aisle are split in opinions of how to vote. Jeffries, however, is taking a different route to his decision than many of his colleagues. “As I endeavor to arrive at the conclusion with respect to this very weighty issue that has been presented to all of us and the United States Congress, I want to make sure to communicate in the most intimate fashion possible with the people I serve,” Jeffries said. “I want to arrive at an outcome that makes sense for America, makes sense for Israel, makes sense for our allies, makes sense for the world.” Jeffries was joined by members of Aguda Israel, the Orthodox Union, the JCC of Marine Park, the JCC of Canarsie and a host of other organizations to discuss the topic prior to the town hall meeting. In addition to representatives of the Jewish community, Congresswoman Yvette Clarke, Assemblywoman Roxanne Persaud, Councilman Alan Maisel, Kings County Democratic Chairman Frank Seddio and Lew Fidler, aide to Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, attended the meeting. Pick up next week’s for an in-depth look at the P5+1 deal with Iran and more on Jeffries’ town hall meeting. Church Leaders Warn Of Theft A house of worship is supposed to be one of the safest places in our community. However, parishioners at Holy Family Church are being advised to watch out for pickpocketers after a recent incident where a woman’s purse was stolen – right in the middle of Sunday service. According to an anonymous witness, the suspect – described as a black man in his early 20s – scoped out the church and attended the Haitian morning mass on August 9th. He sat in a pew for 15 minutes and, while parishioners were praying, the man allegedly stole a purse from an elderly woman who was sitting in front of him. Afterwards, he fled the church and some believe he headed north towards Conklin Avenue. The witness also said he looked strange, was dressed all in black and had a knapsack with him. Holy Family’s Father Edward Kane said the NYPD is examining the church’s video surveillance system. “Most people in our church weren’t aware that anything happened,” Father Kane told the . “We’re advising women to watch their purses and if you go up for communion, take your things with you. To safeguard yourself even more, put your keys and money in your pocket so you have your valuables with you at all times.” Father Kane said this isn’t the first time there’s been a robbery incident within the church, but they’re asking the public to be more vigilant during services. 6 August 13, 2015 Canarsie Courier Our City Is Willing To Pay For Crumbs – Or Cocoa Pebbles! Telling It Like It Is By Dara Mormile izzling hot days do more than just make us break into a sweat, which is our body’s way of cooling us down. It’s also a sign that we need to replenish ourselves by drinking water or something that will help replace our electrolytes. Those who work outside have to deal with the sweltering elements as well and it takes a toll on your whole system, right? When you drink something that’s too sweet – or sub par – you’re not replenishing yourself – you’re just exhausting your body even more. The same way Mother Nature’s elements ruin the human body, it ruins things humans need to facilitate in order to travel from place to place – namely our streets and highways. Comptroller Scott Stringer recently released a claimstat alert, reporting that over 12,000 claims in damage were filed with the city as a result of horribly paved roads. Great! To add to this, nearly 6,000 personal injury claims and close to $138 million was paid out in settlements over the past six years. It doesn’t take too long of a trek to see the poor conditions on the Belt Parkway. Sure, it’s nice in the few spots where they completely repaved and smoothed out the roadway, but the “defective” spots – as Stringer called them – cause damage to tires, brakes and axles. Pedestrians have to hope they don’t injure themselves while walking too. S So what is the city replenishing their highly trafficked roadways with? If you ask me, they might as well fill the holes with cocoa pebbles – or bread crumbs! On a recent trek to Seaview Park, I was glad to see that Seaview Avenue in the East 90s was being repaved. It looked fresh, smooth and ready to be abused by trucks, cars, cyclists and pedestrians. But have you ever seen or felt the stuff they’re using to patch up our roads? Disgustingly, the Department of Transportation (DOT) seems to do minimal with the cheap quality of materials they’re provided with to fix our crumbling streets. After they’ve laid the asphalt down, crumbs – literally bits that look like Oreo cookie leftovers – were all over the sidewalks and it doesn’t seem like they even need time for the sticky asphalt to settle before allowing traffic to pummel the fresh pavement. Plus – it’s SUMMERTIME. How can the sweltering heat and sunrays help the fresh asphalt stay firm enough to sustain hundreds of vehicles? I’m no engineer but it seems to me that the DOT uses sub-par materials on our streets to keep the money rolling in from taxpayers! Gotta resurface the Belt Parkway every two years? Let’s use the cheapest stuff we can find to ensure that it has to be redone – ensuring that the money has to come in for repairs! Let’s get real! The fact that the Belt Parkway had a total of 706 claims in a six-year period – the in the city – is atrocious! The Belt Parkway is so overcrowded, overused and is one of the main roads out of the city that usually takes forever to venture through. What the hell are they using to fix potholes when they pop up – granola mix? We can use Flatlands Avenue near Ralph Avenue as another example. Councilman Alan Maisel had to write to the DOT for years, insisting that the street along Flatlands closest to South Shore High School needs to be repaved after decades of abuse. I don’t care if it’s hard to reroute traffic and “decide what time is best to complete repairs without infringing on commuters.” One of the things Comptroller Stringer wants the DOT to do is ensure that street repairs are completed as quickly as possible so that pedestrians – and drivers – don’t have to combat uneven road surfaces. One of the best points of Stringer’s Claimstat is exploring a complete construction of certain city streets. While this will cost more than repaving, it could, he noted, save taxpayers money in the long haul. Continued on page 19 Ridge Abstract Corp. Warped streets in Brooklyn.

On Monday, Coach Taylor trained his students – boys and girls ranging from five to 15 years old – with fitness drills. They ran 12 laps, did 100 push ups and ran from foul line to foul line. Then, the young athletes worked on catch and shooting jump shots from the free throw line. Once they were all warmed up, basketball players transferred their skills to the court, playing five on five with each other. The camp is held every Monday and Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at P.S. 276, in conjunction with the 69th Precinct Community Council.

But getting to this point in JonesHunter’s life required overcoming a great deal of adversity for him and his family. Approximately eight years ago, his mother, Nicole Jones, was hit by a car in Crown Heights, almost taking her life. The accident caused her to code three times. It also resulted in abovethe-knee amputation of both of herlegs, a traumatic brain injury and posttraumatic stress disorder, followed by years of physical and occupational therapy, she said. A young Jones-Hunter saw the entire accident unfold before his incredulous eyes. Today, the Starrett City native can barely talk about it. But the 6-foot, 263-pound nose guard uses the tragic memory and love of his mother to inspire him on and off the gridiron. Jones-Hunter started playing the game at five years old. Football became his life. He would toss a pigskin in the air for hours at a time and tell his mother that one day he would make it to the NFL and take care of her. “That’s just my fire for football,” Jones-Hunter, 18, said of his mother. “When I make it to the NFL, I’m going to take care of her and then take care of myself.” The two have an unbreakable bond. So it’s no wonder that her accident has affected Jones-Hunter the way it has. “It was very difficult, because him and my niece actually witnessed everything,” Jones said. “He had to go to counseling.” But Jones said football has been her son’s saving grace, helping him get through the ordeal and keeping him out of trouble throughout his childhood. Without his mother and grandfather, Charles Jones, who attended most of his games, Jones-Hunter said his success “wouldn’t be the same without family.” Moreover, take away the unyielding love, guidance and support of his strong family and his passion for football, his mother said Jones-Hunter might not have the same opportunities that he has today. “I didn’t want him to end up with the wrong crowd and on the street,” she said. “Football helped him to stay focused and on the right track. I think he would’ve fallen by the wayside, another statistic. I didn’t want him to be another statistic.” Jones made sure of that. While mo- tivation for football rarely lacked, getting her son pumped for the academic piece needed more relentless poking and prodding, even as she endured pain throughout her recovery process. “I use to say sometimes (to him), when he was a little bit lazy, ‘The same drive and force on the field, you need to carry that over into your academics.’ I think eventually he got it.” Jones-Hunter’s immediate family didn’t do it alone. Jones’ sister’s brothers-in-law are the Schulters – brothers who starred as Chiefs and had tremendous success in other competitive football levels. Lance enjoyed a 10-year NFL career; Dwayne starred at the University of Pittsburgh; and Jamal plays professionally in Poland. However, much of Jones-Hunter’s success can be also attributed to his former coach at Canarsie High School, Kyle Allen, who took the time to help him develop into an All-Star player and made sure he kept up the academic end of high school. After he played his first year of high school football at Xaverian in Bay Ridge, Jones-Hunter — who recorded 67 tackles, an astounding 21 sacks, an interception, three fumble recoveries, a touchdown and a safety in his senior year as a Chief — wanted to transfer closer to home. It was the words Allen used, and the care he displayed, that helped the family finally decide on Canarsie. Kamari Jones-Hunter and his mom Nicole at their Starrett City home.

August 13, 2015 13 Canarsie Courier $ 49 99 14 Canarsie Courier August 13, 2015 East Flatbush Street Will Soon Be Co-Named Councilman Jumaane D. Williams, Deputy Leader and Chair of the Council’s Housing and Buildings Committee, joined Mayor Bill de Blasio, many of his Council colleagues and community members during a bill signing ceremony last week to designate East 37th Street and Foster Avenue as “Catherine McAuley High School Way.” The street co-naming received strong support from school alumni and advocates, who hosted an online petition and collected signatures doorto-door. Catherine McAuley High School was located at 710 East 37th Street and served young women of Brooklyn for more than 70 years. “Catherine McAuley High School was a beacon in the East Flatbush community for decades, known for its academic excellence and positive community impact. Named after Mother Catherine Elizabeth McAuley who exemplified public service, the all-girls’ Catholic high school was designated a Nationally Recognized School of Excellence - the first and only in my district. Though it closed in 2013, I am proud that it will forever live on by co-naming East 37th Street and Foster Avenue ‘Catherine McAuley High School Way,’” Williams said. “I would like to thank Mayor de Blasio, Speaker Mark-Viverito and the Council’s Cultural Affairs Chair Van Bramer for supporting this initiative, which was backed by a tremendous amount of alumni and local residents. I look forward to joining the community to unveil this important street conaming within the coming months.” Catherine McAuley High School started out as a two-year school that prepared young women for secretarial jobs. Catherine McAuley’s original name was Catherine McAuley Commercial, and for many years McAuley graduates entered the workforce after high school. In the 1960’s the word commercial was dropped from the school’s name as graduates pursued post-secondary education. McAuley initially served the daughters of Irish and Italian immigrants, and as demographics changed, McAuley welcomed the daughters of the “new” immigrants from the Caribbean and beyond. English as a Second Language (ESL) was offered to serve English Language Learners. School officials said that students, many of whom are new to the country and have limited English ability or are below average in reading and math, can progress as much as three years during a single school year. The key - small classes - a ratio of 12 students per teacher. “Because of its small size, nobody falls through the cracks,” co-principal Sister Peggy Dempsey said. “This is a student-centered school.” In 1991, McAuley became the first and is still the only all-girls’ Catholic high school in Brooklyn or Queens to earn the prestigious title, “Nationally Recognized School of Excellence” from the U.S. Department of Education. Each student is encouraged to develop at her own pace. In 2002, celebrating its 60th anniversary, McAuley partnered with Boys Hope Girls Hope of New York opening the first boarding program for teenage girls in New York City. For many years, nearly 100 percent of McAuley students graduated on time and were accepted to college. Many earned college scholarships at a rate at or above that of other Catholic high schools in Brooklyn. Unfortunately, the beloved school that was built during World War II has endured many storms and difficult times, was a victim of the economic downturn, having opened in 1942 and closed in 2013. Councilman Williams discussed Catherine McAuley High School before Mayor Bill de Blasio signed legislation to designate East 37th Street and Foster Avenue as “Catherine McAuley High School Way.” Photo Credit: Madeleine Ball, NYC COUNCIL Canarsie Courier August 13, 2015 Have You Seen Leon And Odyssey?

Beep Rewards Residents For Loving Their Block Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams recently honored Canarsie residents Theresa Hoffman and Elaine Friedman, who have cumulatively lived on East 84th Street for over a century. Accepting for Friedman were her children Janet and Barry. They were honored for living the longest in the community. According to My Time Inc., which shared this honor with the Canarsie Courier, Elaine’s been on the block for 55 years and Theresa has been on the block for 53 years. Here’s to staying local!

Chiefs... “Coach Allen said, ‘Don’t worry, we’re going to take care of him, and we’ll get him into college.’ That was the first two things I liked to hear: School, as well as to be able to still play the sports that he loves, which is football,” Jones explained. As far as how proud his family is of him, Jones-Hunter’s mother lights up at just the mention of him going to college. “I am beyond proud,” she said. “I am at a loss for words. I’m very proud of his accomplishments, on and off the field. “He’s so proud of him. My father is on cloud nine,” she added. And why not? Jones-Hunter, whose dream school is Miami University, is getting a shot at playing at the next level – all because of family and love of football, not to mention years of hard work and dedication in the classroom, weight room and gridiron. 15 16 August 13, 2015 Canarsie Courier THEN 1989 NOW Graffiti was a big problem all over the city back in the 1980’s, and Canarsie was no exception. The picture on the left was featured in our August 1989 issue. The wall, which borders the Department of Sewers and runs along Flatlands Avenue near Ralph Avenue, was covered with all sorts of illegal “street art.” Today, that area, although a bit overgrown, is graffiti clear. However, if you walk a few steps east toward East 76th Street, the wall bordering the Department of Highways is a different story…it still has spray painted inscriptions adorning its wall. If you are/were a resident who has old photos of homes/ businesses in Canarsie and surrounding areas, we’d love to see them and share them with the community.

The New York Caribbean Cup hosted its annual All Star Classic last Sunday, with an East versus West exhibition headlining a tripleheader of games at the Thomas Jefferson Sports Complex. Although the eastern zone houses three powerhouse clubs, the western zone were the victors at the all star classic with the final score of 5-3. The eastern zone all stars came out sharp, connecting on all cylinders with a 2-0 lead early. The western zone all stars were not too cohesive to begin the game, sending multiple shots out of play, far past the goal or goalkeeper. The tide quickly shifted, as those awry shots began to translate into on goal targets that lead to three consecutive goals to put the western zone ahead. After exchanging goals and a late penalty kick, the western zone all stars claimed victory and bragging rights, lead by the boot of Eugene Kirwan, which contributed a hat trick. “You can’t win them all,” said Arthur Mikes, manager of the eastern all stars, “we scored some goals but just couldn’t keep up.” Females entered the pitch for the first time this cup season as the Cambria Heights Girls SC challenged Nehemiah International Girls SC in the first match of the day. The teams appeared to be feeling each other out for much of the first half, neither one creating many chances. That quickly changed in the second half as Cambria Heights Girls SC became more aggressive in forcing the tempo and getting out in the open. Ebony Birch was the beneficiary as she capitalized on a chance, beating the goalkeeper to the far right post for the opening goal for her club. Nehemiah International Girls SC would soon respond, as Iyesha Ollivierre would not be denied after beating her marker with a skill move and shooting the ball to the bottom far post for the equalizer. The decisive goal eluded both clubs, resulting in a draw at 1-1. “It was a good pre-season game, not the intense level that we’re used to but it’s coming there,” said Ben Abiona, manager of the Cambria Heights Girls SC. Brooklyn Soca Lions Academy defeated Hota Bavaria SC, 5-2, in the second match of the day. After conceding a goal in the opening minutes, the winning club responded moments later with an equalizer and did not look back, overpowering the opposing club. With the All Star Classic in the books, postseason play is set to commence next week as the top four teams from the respective conferences qualify for the playoffs. Goal difference decided the order of the eastern zone with St. Kitts and Nevis claiming first seed, Haiti in second and defending champions Jamaica finishing third. Guyana placed fourth in the eastern zone. In the western zone, St. Lucia comfortably claimed first seed, followed by St. Kitts and Nevis then Trinidad and Tobago and Dominica rounding out the final spot. The quarter-finals will begin next week with Haiti versus Trinidad and Tobago, followed by St. Kitts and Nevis versus Dominica in a rematch of the final game of preliminary play.

They are urging New Yorkers to make sure window guards are in place and properly installed. Children under the age of five account for two-thirds of all falls in New York City, and in 2014, there were six falls from windows that should have had window guards in place, three of which resulted in the death of a child. “Children are our most valuable resource. They are curious and imaginative but might not understand the risks of playing near an open, unguarded window,” said Health Commissioner Dr. Mary Bassett. “That’s why parents and caregivers need to not only make sure window guards are properly installed, but also keep beds, chairs, ladders and other climbable objects away from windows. Window falls can happen in a second, but window guards can prevent them from happening at all.” “Installing window guards is a simple way to prevent falls that could lead to serious injury, and it could save the life of a child,” said HPD Commissioner Vicki Been. “If your apartment needs window guards, or if you don’t know whether they’re properly installed, ask your landlord as soon as possible. If your landlord doesn’t respond, call 311 to request an inspection by HPD. If you have a child 10 years old or younger, take action now and have window guards installed – it’s the law, and it could save a life.” Window guard installation is a shared responsibility for owners and tenants. City law requires the owner of any building with three or more units to properly install approved window guards in an apartment where a child 10 years of age or younger lives or attends child care, and they are recommended in any apartment that children regularly visit. Building owners must obtain this information from their tenants when a new lease is entered into or when a lease is renewed. They are also required to send every tenant a notification form once a year, so that any new need for a window guard may be reported. Tenants are required to fill out the forms accurately and return them to building management. The Window Guard Law requires building owners to install window guards in any apartment where the tenant requests them. Although not required in one- or two-family homes, people with young children living in these types of dwellings should consider installing guards in any window not used as an emergency exit. If a building owner refuses to install window guards, tenants should call 311 or go to 311 Online (www.nyc.gov/311) to file a complaint with HPD. Building owners may also call 311 to report tenants who refuse to allow guards to be installed as required by law. Telling It Like It Is... Continued from page 6 One of the problems with this seems to be the city’s fiscal budget allocations. If you’ve attended a Community Board 18 meeting where they review the slew of street repairs that need to be made, the city somehow escapes addressing these infrastructure problems. They respond to the board, stating that the streets we requested to be fixed are “not a priority.” Thanks DOT! The money may not be in their budget and seem worth spending on a little community like Canarsie, but isn’t paying attention to community input the beginning of the process when it comes to improvements? If they’d address our requests from the get-go, maybe the enlarged potholes and craters wouldn’t lead to accidents and subsequently millions of dollars in settlements. Or, perhaps because the claim money comes from the Comptroller’s office – and not the DOT – the DOT doesn’t care about their agency falling behind on much-needed repairs. And now for the granola mix…Could the city avoid paying out all of these settlements if they used a better grade or quality of asphalt for our streets and stopped patching up those potholes temporarily with what I call black oatmeal? C’mon! Is the DOT using the same materials on our streets that they’d use on major freeways? Some vehicles and – even motorcyclists – use our roads like it’s the Indy 500! Our city buses carry hundreds of people every hour along “quaint” streets and the conditions of our streets can’t handle the volume of drivers that exist. Why are they patching things up with asphalt that warps, reopens, cracks and opens so easily – and can’t outlast the weather? However the DOT plans on fixing our roads long-term, I’m sure there are plenty of ground up graham crackers, flaxseed and instant potato mix flakes in their milling trucks! Happy trails!

Fish consumption, as part of a healthy eating pattern and when consumed within caloric needs, is associated with overall health. The nutritional value of fish lower in mercury is especially important during growth and development before birth, in early infancy (for breastfed infants), and in childhood. Yes. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010 and FDA recommend that pregnant women and young children should only eat foods with fish, meat, poultry, or eggs that have been cooked to safe temperatures to protect against microbes that might be in those foods. Pregnant women and young children often lack strong immune systems and are more at risk for foodborne illnesses. You should avoid these four types of fish that are highest in mercury: •Tilefish from the Gulf of Mexico •Shark •Swordfish •King Mackerel GA You do not need to avoid fish during pregnancy. In fact, primary research studies with pregnant women have consistently found that the nutritional value of fish is important during growth and development before birth, even though nearly all fish contain at least traces of mercury. This has been especially the case when the fish has been lower in mercury. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010 include fish as a food to increase, both generally and during pregnancy, because most people eat below the recommended amounts. Avoiding fish during pregnancy in favor of omega-3 supplements means that you would be missing out on many other important nutrients contained in fish that are required for overall health. Fish are a good source of many nutrients, including protein and minerals such as iron, and most of them are low in saturated fats. Fish also contains varying amounts of omega-3 fatty acids and some fish contain Vitamin D. TMJ Syndrome Sources .

Delrene, Rehoboth Church Black Community Says Mayor Does Not Deserve Their Vote Dear Editor, De Blasio’s support in the black community actually fell by over a third since the 2013 election, because the community is responding to his big developer real estate policies that are pushing blacks out of their neighborhoods, as well as his divisive tactics within the black community, pitting leaders against each other to suit his agenda The Mayor will soon see a drop in the polls from black voters also because the message coming from black leaders is that he is very divisive. They are tired of failing schools, increased shootings from gangs with no real plan to reduce the violence, lack of job opportunities for young people, non-affordable housing, the privatization and evictions within NYCHA and the fact we have a mayor that has isolated himself, never holding a Town Hall Meeting in their communities to address all their concerns. A mayor who only holds press conferences surrounded by his supporters and not to hear the real concerns of the community shows a huge lack of respect. I expect his poll numbers in the black community to fall as well, and no matter how much he goes to beg Al Sharpton for his help, even that support won’t bare any fruit as Sharpton is only a leader, not the leader of the black community, and it amazes us all that de Blasio hasn’t gotten that memo. However, he will get a reality check come the next election.

It is the largest private scholarship for students transferring from two-year community colleges to four-year baccalaureate institutions in the country. Moroccan-born Najlaa, who speaks four languages and recently graduated with an Associate’s degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences, will attend Smith College in the fall to earn her Bachelor’s degree in American Government and Politics. She is a 2015 Dean’s List student, a participant in the Honors Program, a member of Phi Theta Kappa and is active in the Student World Assembly and the Criminal Justice Club. She was also selected to participate in the Salzburg Global Seminar in Austria. Najlaa received glowing letters of recommendation from Professors Mary Lynn Navarro, Rick Repetti, Michael Sokolow and Howard Grynspan. “The Jack Kent Cooke scholarship provides a great opportunity for me to take my studies to another level without the worry of finances,” said Najlaa, a Kensington resident. “I’m excited at the prospect of heading to Smith College and of working toward a degree in American Government & Politics. With the solid foundation I received at Kingsborough, I am more than confident that my time at Smith will be a success.” “Najlaa is the type of student that a teacher never forgets; writing a letter of recommendation for someone who is such a determined, steadfast and committed individual was easy,” said Department of Communications and Performing Arts professor Howard Grynspan. “ Courtesy of Kingsborough Community College 27 28 August 13, 2015 Canarsie Courier RELIGIOUS NEWS Famous Canarsie Autograph Collector Dies at 84 Louis Max Schlamowitz , long time resident of Canarsie, passed away May 7, 2015 at the age of 84.

August 13, 2015 Canarsie Courier 31 College Fundraiser Brings Awareness To Urban Farming Nearly 300 guests attended Kingsborough Community College’s (KCC) 10th Annual Seaside Splash fundraiser recently, which raised $185,000 to provide critically-needed financial support for students. Seaside Splash, which has raised close to $2 million in the past 10 years, focuses attention on students who directly benefit from the financial contributions toward their educational dreams. Ten such students were featured in the event program and in a short video, highlighting KCC’s new message of “Dreams Begin Here.” “Students get the chance to meet and thank their benefactors at Seaside Splash,” said KCC President Farley Herzek. “It’s a chance for them to say thank you in person when they can talk about their accomplishments and plans for continuing toward the completion of a four-year degree.” The ‘farm-totable’ dining experience included items sourced from various local farms, emphasizing the college’s continuing responsibility to a sustainable food system. Guests also enjoyed a farmer’s market-style “pop-up” that included a microgreens tasting of Red Rambo radishes, mustard mix, pea shoots and gar- net red amaranth — all provided by KCC’s Urban Farm. “The KCC Urban Farm provides students with opportunities to have an intense, hands-on and delicious learning experience,” said Center for Economic & Workforce Development Executive Director Babette Audant.The evening’s featured student speaker, Anna Makogon, who graduated in June, lamented to the crowd amid laughter about missing the perfect 4.0 GPA because of “…the one and only final course in Psychology, in which I received a B+,” as she thanked the attendees for their generosity. 32 Canarsie Courier August 13, 2015 Canarsie Courier August 13, 2015 33 C CO ON NT TE ES ST T C CO OR RN NE ER R DELIRIUM’S DAUGHTER SESAME STREET LIVE – MAKE A NEW FRIEND PEARL THE SHOW Ticket Sweepstakes Ticket Sweepstakes Ticket Sweepstakes ONLY 5 ENTRIES PER HOUSEHOLD ONLY 5 ENTRIES PER HOUSEHOLD ONLY 5 ENTRIES PER HOUSEHOLD Fill out the attached coupon for a chance to win ticket vouchers to: Fill out the attached coupon for a chance to win ticket vouchers to: Fill out the attached coupon for a chance to win ticket vouchers to: DELIRIUM’S DAUGHTER PEARL THE SHOW THEATRE ROW – THE CLURMAN THEATRE 410 WEST 42ND STREET BETWEEN 9TH & 10TH AVENUES, NEW YORK NY 10036 DAVID H.
