Residents and staff at Four Seasons Nursing and Rehabilitation had some special visitors on Monday,
December 8th. Students from P.S. 115 shared their creative side and participated in an exciting morning of arts
and crafts at the nursing home, located at 1555 Rockaway Parkway. Since the East 92nd Street school recently received a generous grant, they decided to give back and complete a unique community service program
that would connect them to adults and give them some hands-on creative experiences outside of the classroom. Students who participated in the arts and crafts event got a chance to talk to Four Seasons Nursing residents and create lots of original holiday goodies with glitter, construction paper, stickers and other embellishments. Students learned more than just about crafting – they learned that the best gift is sometimes sharing
special moments with those around you. You may see and purchase more photos from the event by visiting www.canarsiecourier.com. Just click on the blue button.

Torrential downpours have always led to problems
in the community – with homeowners having to deal
with sewage backup in their basements and lack of
drainage at catch basins on street corners.
The city got an estimated two to three inches of
rain, accompanied by wind gusts up to 50 mph.
Locally, the storm caused flooding on various streets
in Canarsie, including Remsen Avenue and Avenue
K, near Seaview Park and East 82nd Street between
avenues K and L.
Local civic organizations have been addressing the
endless problem of flooding and sewer backups. For
many residents, the nightmare continues every time
it rains. Many streets lacking catch basins have
standing water for days after a rain storm.
As a result, South Canarsie Civic Association
President Maryanne Sallustro plans on addressing
the Department of Environmental Protection at her
next meeting, Monday, January 12th, at the Thomas
Jefferson Democratic Club, 77 Conklin Avenue, at 7
p.m.

Multiple Injuries After Morning Collision
By Dara Mormile
Witnesses said that four vehicles were totaled yesterday morning – no thanks to the driver of a white Jeep
Cherokee who was allegedly speeding on Rockaway
Parkway between avenues L and M. The Cherokee was
seen racing along the strip when it swerved into oncoming traffic and plowed into another car near the Burger
King parking lot. The chain reaction also caused damage
to a parked car, which was sideswiped during the disastrous crash. One of the drivers was reportedly seriously
injured and paramedics took the other drivers to area
hospitals. Residents in the area say the local precinct isn’t
doing enough to stop drivers from speeding along
Rockaway Parkway and the new 25 mph speed limit won’t
prevent accidents when it comes to reckless drivers.

Maisel And Bus Depot Answer Complaints From Homeowners

Residents of Mill Basin are fuming over what
they say is toxic smoke blowing over their properties from area school bus depots.
The complaints stem from four school bus companies housed in large lots on Strickland Avenue
and range from noise pollution from buses passing
by houses to asthma issues from exhaust. While
homeowners continue to demand the relocation of
the depots, the city refuses to budge, citing existing
laws allowing the buses to run out of the lots.
During a recent meeting about bus services in
Brooklyn, Councilman Alan Maisel was confronted
by two residents asking why he hasn’t stepped in to
get rid of the bus companies. Maisel provided a
statement to the   following the
meeting.
“I wish I had the power to do something about it,
but they have a right to be there,” stated Maisel. “I
don’t have the power to tell companies, who are
paying to be there and have the right to be there, to
get out. The neighborhood wanted the zoning of the
area to be changed to residential. They petitioned
for it with Lew Fidler, and it was approved. That
doesn’t mean the bus companies are not allowed to
be there anymore.”
Under New York City law, any company operating in an industrial or commercial zone may remain
in business if that area is rezoned for residential
buildings, also known as being “grandfathered” into
the zones. This also gives new companies of the
same industry the ability to move onto the same
land such as a newer bus company using the depot
after the rezoning.
“We hadn’t even moved our buses in yet and people were already coming over to complain about
everything,” stated Steve D., the co-owner of Seth
Transit, the newest company in the lots and only privately run business of the four bus companies.
“People usually bring wine and other gifts when
someone new moves into their neighborhood. We
got complaints.”
Steve’s partner, Mallary B., weighed into the discussion, “We couldn’t be more considerate about it.
We gave out our cell numbers. We invited them to
come to us with their concerns. We don’t idle our
buses, and we put up signs stating not to idle buses
and the fine that comes with idling for more than
three minutes. We moved our maintenance building
to the back of the lot. But a few people complain
Buses lined up inside Seth transportation yard.
about everything: lights, the window on our trailer
facing towards their yard, everything.”
Steve continued, “We can’t speak for the other
three companies because they are funded by the
Department of Education and might be able to
afford their fuel, but our company is private. We pay
for our fuel so we can’t afford to idle our buses all
day. We move a lot around here. We’re in at 6:30 or
7 a.m. to get all the buses out, then again at 2:30
p.m. Everyone usually returns to the lot around 5
p.m.”
Although the  was unable to get
statements from the other companies, one driver
from Rainbow Transit stated the length of time
needed for their buses to go out tends to be two
hours. “Drivers come in at 6 a.m. and go out with
their buses by 8 a.m. They return at 1 p.m. to do it
again and many don’t return until 7 p.m.”
Whether the exhaust fumes are the cause of
health issues for neighbors is unknown and may not
be determined in the near future.
“I have contacted the Department of Health to
test the air quality of the area but was told they have
a lack of trucks with the ability to do those tests,”
stated Maisel. “They don’t know when they will be
able to get out there to do the tests.”
The   will continue to monitor
the situation and report on further developments.
To get more information about school bus companies or to file a complaint, please call 311.

East New York Seniors Have A Lot To Celebrate!
By Linda Steinmuller
Local seniors got into the holiday spirit Monday at the Penn Wortman Neighborhood Center with Christmas carols, poetry reading, a delicious luncheon, a tree lighting and a special birthday celebration. The Pennsylvania Avenue center, which was all aglow with festive decorations, presented “Let
All The People Celebrate – A Christmas Extravaganza.” The beautiful voices of three choirs – Penn Wortman Voices, Mary Mitchell Gospel Chorus
and Boulevard Gospel Chorus – filled the air with Christmas favorites like “Oh Come All Ye Faithful.” Children from the Kings Group Day Care also
entertained the seniors with their own rendition of “Go Tell It On The Mountain” and “Jingle Bells.” Besides all the traditional Christmas festivities,
everyone wished Ms. Ella Mae Goodwin a Happy 90th Birthday with cake and good wishes.

Seniors Revved Up At American Bikers Club Run
Before Santa Claus gets hauled around by his reindeer on Christmas Eve, he takes to the streets on what else – a motorcycle! Thanks to the
American Bikers Club – and jolly ole Saint Nick – hundreds at Four Seasons Nursing Home got to enjoy the holiday season a little early at the 26th
Annual Senior Citizen Run, sponsored by the American Bikers Club. Co-sponsors of the event included the Unknown Bikers, Uncaged America and
the Dukes of Brooklyn. There was live entertainment from “Joey with a C” and Rose. Some of the Four Seasons residents got a chance to sit on one
of the mean set of wheels with Santa Claus and put in their Christmas gift requests. You may see and purchase more photos from the event by

NYPD “Puppets” Are Going To Be On Display For A Long Time
Telling It
Like It Is
By Dara Mormile
Lights, camera, ACTION!
fter all of the riots going on all over the country following news that two white police officers won’t be convicted of killing two black
men in our country, the public won’t stop asking:
how can we improve relations between cops and the
community?
In New York, we’re going to try equipping our
cops with small body cameras to capture those special moments when police feel like whipping their
A
guns out to shoot someone who allegedly “poses a
clear threat” to their lives. These cameras, which will
be placed on police officers working in some of the
city’s most crime ridden precincts, will also capture
the moments before, during and after an officer
makes any “unethical” moves that will be challenged
by the public and civil rights leaders.
I have a feeling this is going to be one of those
columns where I pose endless rhetorical questions
that not too many people can directly answer.
However, there are a lot of unanswered questions
that will leave protesters unsettled – leading to
MORE outrage and MORE arrests by police officers. This is a revolving door society – and whatever police departments across the country decide to do
to tame racial tensions between police and civilians,
in my opinion, will never work.
How can we ease tensions between civilians and
police? How can we improve interactions between
cops and residents so that there is less violence and
tragedy?
From what I observe in our community, police
officers are not trained to truly interact with the community. I don’t count shoving people away from
police lines and telling them they’re “interfering
with police activity” as interacting. I don’t count “we
can’t tell you anything…just back off” as interacting.
After cops graduate from the Academy, what are
they taught about enforcing the law while simultaneously developing a rapport with residents? Are they
just puppets being controlled by heads of the department to end someone’s life if they see fit? Are we
ever going to have police officers THEMSELVES
talk to the community? Do we have any NYPD sessions in our community where the very cops who
patrol our streets talk to people in an open forum? If
there has been, the  doesn’t know
about it. It seems like police officers don’t have to
answer to the public, only their “higher ups” and
“bigwigs” such as Community Affairs and youth
officers can say a few words to the public.
How about the way teenagers view police?
Parents, during interviews with the media, claim
they’ve “had talks with their children about their
chances of being stopped and questioned by a police
officer because of factors such as their race.” Are any
police officers – and not ones who are retired from
the force – going to speak with the public? They’re
not supposed to. Why?
What is the NYPD doing –  – action-wise
to improve their reputation among residents?
Fortunately, that question DOES have an answer.
Last week Mayor de Blasio said the NYPD is going
to retrain officers and “improve the dynamic”
between police and the community. They’re going to
spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to teach cops
to respond in a less violent manner so they won’t use
the “excessive force” that was demonstrated on Eric
Garner.
Aren’t police officers’ reputations already
stained?
Aren’t there so many cases where the police
department simply can’t save their image – such as
the “accidental” shooting at the Pink Houses in East
New York which left a 28-year-old unarmed man
dead for literally NO reason?
Let’s get real! You can retrain them – re-wire
them…re-string them…They’re still going to listen
to the puppeteer! Be it good ole Mr. Bratton, de
Blasio himself, their captains, deputy inspectors, or

Fair Chance Act Helps Expand
Employment Opportunities
Local Hospital Celebrates Opening
Of New Behavioral Health Unit
Kingsbrook Jewish Medical
Center’s Department of Psychiatry
recently announced the opening of
its new 25-bed Adult Inpatient
Behavioral Health Unit. A ribbon
cutting and grand opening celebration took place on Friday, November
14th, on Kingsbrook’s campus at
585 Schenectady Avenue.
The new unit – which will be
located on Minkin 5 – will be a
state-of-the-art inpatient psychiatric
unit and has been specifically
designed for the treatment of
younger adults, starting at age 18,
with acute psychiatric illnesses who
are in need of hospitalization. This
new unit will expand their range of
care by allowing staff to admit
younger as well as older adults.
After discharge, care continues at
Kingsbrook’s Outpatient Mental
Health Department.
“Mental disorders are among the
most common causes of disability in
our country, with almost 20 percent
of our population, around 61.5 million Americans, suffering mental illness in any given year, and approximately four percent of our adult population, or 13 million American
adults, being chronically disabled by
mental illness,” states Dr. Ellen
Tabor, Chair of Psychiatry at
Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center.
The new Behavioral Health Unit
will provide invaluable services for
the
community,
including
Individual/Group Therapy, Case
Management
and
Care
Coordination, Recreational Therapy,
Medication
Management
and
Referrals to appropriate Substance
Abuse aftercare services. The new
unit will accept both voluntary and
involuntary admissions.

Councilmember Jumaane D. Williams (D-Brooklyn), Deputy Leader,
and Chair of the Council’s Committee
on Housing and Buildings, was joined
last week by Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer, Councilmembers
Corey Johnson, Ritchie Torres, Andy
King and advocacy groups during a
press conference prior to a Council
hearing on the New York City Fair
Chance Act.
Councilmember Williams is the colead sponsor of the Into. 318, which
will ‘Ban the Box’ from employment
applications, ensuring that all New
Yorkers, even those with a criminal
record, have an equal opportunity to
compete for a job.
The Council’s Committee on Civil
Rights, Chaired by Councilmember
Darlene Mealy, received testimony
for the Administration, business leaders, and members of the Fair Chance
NYC Coalition, which is comprised
of more than 25 community, labor,
and faith organizations including
VOCAL-NY, the National Employment Law Project, the Community
Service Society, 32BJ SEIU and Faith
in New York, among others.
The legislation fits into a national
trend of expanding access to employment as a way to lower recidivism and
ensure employers consider all qualified applicants and not overlook the
candidate who might become their
best employee. To date, 13 states and
nearly 90 cities and counties have adopted fair-chance ordinances, including
Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Buffalo
and Rochester.
The Fair Chance Act was introduced
in April 2014 by Councilmembers
Williams, Johnson, and Torres, at the
request of Manhattan Borough President
Brewer. The legislation currently boasts
35 co-sponsors, a super-majority of the
City Council.
“I am proud to work with such a
vibrant group of advocates and elected officials to get the New York City
Fair Chance Act passed,” said Councilmember Williams. “Once enacted
into law, this bill will ensure that all
New Yorkers, including those with
convictions for previous mistakes, will
have an equal opportunity to compete
for jobs they are qualified for. Though
the legislation does not require employers to hire any particular applicant,
it delays the background check, thus
supplementing pre-existing law that
says employers cannot deny a job
because of a record unless there is a
direct relationship to the job. Not only
does employment strengthen communities and lower recidivism, but employers will have access to a broader
range of qualified candidates to consider.”
“A past mistake should not prevent
anyone from getting an interview for
a job,” said Manhattan Borough
President Gale A. Brewer. “I’m proud
to sponsor the Fair Chance Act because it levels the playing field for all
job candidates by allowing candidates
to be considered solely based on their
qualifications. Since ‘banning the box’
in city agencies under Executive Order
151, the hiring of qualified candidates
with a criminal history doubled last
year. That means it succeeds at giving
second chances to those who need it,
and that’s why it should be extended
to all hiring sectors.”
Councilmember Williams speaks
during the Fair Chance Act rally
prior to a Council hearing on the
legislation.

Still Keeping It Green Along Fresh Creek
By Dara Mormile
Despite the cold temperatures, the
NYC Parks Department sent a private contractor to East 108th Street
near Avenue L to plant more trees
along the creek last week. Crews
drilled holes for dozens of new
trees, which will hopefully help curtail flooding and overflow from the
creek during high tide as well as
storms. The city is not finished planting, as former Mayor Michael
Bloomberg’s MillionTreesNYC program mandated that one million
trees be planted over the next
decade. This effort, along with help
from volunteers who often clean up
debris along the weed-strewn street,
will hopefully keep things growing
in the right direction!

Canarsie Attorney is a Finalist for ESPN 2014 Fan Hall of Fame
By Jerry Del Priore
Sports has its various Hall of Fames to honor and
recognize its great athletes. So, why not have one for
the fans who pour every ounce of their being, not to
mention money, into the sports they love?
Well, ESPN has one, and Canarsie lawyer Bruce
Reznick, the self-proclaimed #1 Brooklyn Nets fan
(stated on the tremendous sign outside his office), is
a finalist for the second consecutive year.
Reznick, whom announcer Ian Eagle nicknamed
Mr. Whammy for his pointer and pinkie double-handed hand motion and verbal jinx tirade directed at
opposing foul shooters, isn’t overly concerned about
being inducted. He’s just honored to be nominated again,
and said meeting perspective friendly voters was more
than enough for him.
“There are only 10 finalists each year. I don’t expect to win,” said Reznick, who has been practicing
law for over 50 years. “It’s not important whether I
win or lose. I have had the pleasure of meeting people who I’ve asked to vote (for me).”
The 78-year-old former Brooklyn Dodgers fan has
been a Nets supporter for 18 years, dating back to their
days in New Jersey. It was a friend of his who was a
season ticket holder and invited Reznick to a few games.
The experience captivated him, and he’s been a diehard
fan ever since.
The esteemed barrister truly believes his hex works.
Though he doesn’t keep exact stats, Reznick says that
he’s cost the Nets’ adversaries over 1,000 points dur-
ing his time at Nets games.
“There is no other fan in sports that can say that,”
claims Reznick, who works his magic from directly
behind the basket, clad in his custom-made Nets
Jersey bestowed to him by the organization, over a
signature red shirt. “I guess they didn’t have the opportunity.”
Things began simple enough: yelling at the other
team, just like most other supporters do during tilts.
But it grew into today’s bedeviled whammy, with secrets
to his success he wouldn’t divulge.
He said he’s been shutout just once in 18 years, a
record most people would love to boast. However, his
wife Judy (Mrs. Whammy, of course) of over 50 years
keeps everything in perspective for him.
“I have an impact on the game,” he said. “But my
wife says she rather me have no points if we win the
game. But I’ll keep trying.”
Judy also said that he is deserving of the nod because
of the unbridled Brooklyn passion that he displays for
their squad.
“He’s an actual fan,” the soft spoken former Floridian emphasized. “When I married him, I knew I was
marrying a Brooklyn guy.”
While both are equivalently dedicated to their Brooklyn Boys, she roots for the team in a different manner.
“I’m equally as passionate, but I don’t jump around
as much,” she said. “I was brought up to be lady-like.”
(Please note: voting has concluded after press time,
on Wednesday, December 10).
Bruce Reznick displays his double-handed
Whammy at his office that he claims has cost
the opposition over 1,000 points at Nets game
he has attended over 18 years.

Former Canarsien Inducted Into USA Hockey Hall of Fame
By Jerry Del Priore
Last week, the United States Hockey Hall of Fame
inducted Lou Vairo, a Canarsie native, into its prestigious institution in Minneapolis, Minnesota for his
outstanding coaching contributions to the sport.
Remaining modest, Vario took the esteemed recognition in stride. He never thought as a kid playing
roller hockey behind a supermarket on Rockaway Parkway and ice hockey on a frozen swap behind the Bay
View Housing projects that his career would reach
the heights it has.
“It was great being a kid growing up in Canarsie,”
Vario fondly recalled. “I feel humbled because I’m just
a kid from Brooklyn. It’s overwhelming to me. I’m Vairo behind the bench of the 2003 U.S. National Junior Lou Vairo speaks at 2012 U.S. Hockey
almost embarrassed by the attention. It makes me Team in Nova Scotia.

Hall of Fame.
think of all the people who helped me get to this
point.”
One of those people are Eddie Eskanzi, who helped
teach Vairo and his friends the finer points of the game,
along with assisting them with forming a team, and
getting them into a league.
“I wouldn’t be in hockey if it wasn’t for Eddie,”
the 69-year-old Colorado Springs, Colorado, resident
admitted. “I wish he was alive today so I could publicly thank him.”
Vairo’s coaching career wasn’t out of design, however. After a two-year stint in the Army, he took a job
at an air-conditioning business run by Bart Grillo,
who coordinated various leagues that Vairo skated in
as a youth.
Grillo asked him to guide a group of 5 year olds.
Wanting to play instead, Vairo reluctantly accepted.
But little did he know that his coaching career would
take seed from that point forward.
One day at his grandparents’ home he was watching a game between the Soviet Union and Sweden on
television. The Soviet lighting quick whirling style
of play fascinated the wide-eyed Brooklynite. It prompted him to scribe Soviet coach Anatoly Tarasov a letter, asking him how he could learn their methods.
A few months later, Tarasov wrote him back and
invited Vairo to come to Moscow. In 1972, Vairo took
out a $3,500 bank loan and boarded a plane to Mother
Russia.
He stayed with Tarasov’s family and absorbed the
techniques that emphasized finesse and fitness over
physicality. In 1975, his team, which used the methods that Vairo learned in Russia, captured the New
York State junior championship.
Soon after, Vairo’s system and success garnered
the attention of the Minnesota hockey world, a hotbed area for the sport. He left New York City for Austin,
Minnesota, and spent three seasons as coach of the
Austin Mavericks in the United States Hockey League,
leading the team to the national championship in 1976.
Once again, the European style that Vairo taught
grabbed someone’s attention. This time it was Herb
Brooks, who asked him to serve as a scout for the
1980 USA Olympic squad, who went on to capture
America’s heart and the gold medal.
In addition to scouting for the 1980 U.S. Olympic
gold-medal-winning team, Vairo was the bench boss
for the 1984 Olympic club. Plus, he was part of the
staff of the 2002 Olympic silver medal squad. In
between, from 1984-86, the Thomas Jefferson High
School alum held the post as an assistant coach for
the NHL New Jersey Devils.
While the game has brought him national and
international acclaim, Vario never forgets why he
first started playing hockey in Canarsie in the first
place.
“We played because we liked it,” the director of
special projects for USA Hockey simply said. “The
motivation was because it was fun.”

Former Canarsie Student-Athlete Helps Gives Basketball Players Second Chance
By Jerry Del Priore
Some high school hoop players don’t garner the type
of college attention they desire. Therefore, after graduation, they seek out a program that can assist them
both athletically and academically, hoping to increase
their odds of landing a basketball scholarship.
That’s where Daryl “Dee” Frazier, a former twosport student-athlete at Urban Action Academy at Canarsie Educational Campus, steps in to lend a helping
hand.
Frazier runs and coaches at the Frazier Sports Academy in Rock Hill, South Carolina, a post-graduate
basketball program that provides athletes with a year
of hoops training and competition, along with academ-
ic support.
Seeing a lack of concern for basketball players’
post-high school career, Frazier decided to follow his
dream, and help them increase their exposure in the
process.
“I always wanted to do something in sports management,” said Frazier, who founded the sports academy in May of 2013. “A lot of basketball coaches in
NYC use players for their talent to win ballgames.
They don’t help with their school. After graduation,
they give the torch to the next young player.”
Though only in its infancy, the program seems to be
working. Before entering the program, only two of the
11 players had garnered college interest. Presently, eight
are entertaining college offers, according to Frazier.
Jamal Pollydore—a former George Westinghouse
High School combo guard who’s on the verge of
committing to a school in Rochester, N.Y., on a partial scholarship—credits Frazier Sports Academy for
being the difference maker in his recruiting process.
“Workouts everyday helped my conditioning, but
coach Frazier’s individual workouts helped improve
my skill work,” Pollydore said. “Then you have (college) coaches in the gym watching practice, so you’re
trying to impress them, too. I’m waiting for more offers,
but I’m leaning toward Monroe Community College.”
Each player, Frazier said, pays a reasonable fee,
which covers rent, travel, game costs, uniforms, two
pairs of sneakers, sweatshirts, warm-up suits and a laptop, which is used to Skype with an online creditor
who helps prepare them for the SAT and ACT exams.
In addition, the Sports Academy has partnered with
Clinton College in Rock Hill, which, for just $2 a
day, provides the athletes with three meals.
The program operates from September to April,
and it competes in a minimum of 25 games, with an
elevation period from September to October in which
at least two area college coaches scout players during
each practice.
When the Sports Academy is over for the season,
Frazier runs a Pro/Am summer league team, Team
Dream, in which it travels to top basketball tournaments all over the East Coast.
A few of his players have included former Louisville Cardinal Russ Smith, whom the NBA New Orleans
Pelicans recently assigned to their D-League squad
—the Fort Wayne Mad Ants. Plus, overseas point
guard Kay Labrew, a Brownsville native.
While the ambitious Bedford Stuyvesant resident,
who comes when his schedule permits, is on the
young side, it hasn’t stopped him from gaining the
respect of his players and people on the basketball
scene. That’s because it seems as if he’s just looking
to make a good name for himself in basketball while
looking out for his players’ best interest.
“A lot of people just look at me as a young guy
working hard to make it in the basketball world,” the
soon-to-be 21-year-old business major said. “They
see me as a young guy achieving his goals, instead of
a guy looking to get over.”

Lady Chiefs’ Basketball Romp To Undefeated Week
By Jerry Del Priore
In order to play up to expectations, you have to
beat the less difficult teams on your schedule.
That’s a must, and exactly what Canarsie (3-0) did
during the week, defeating the opposition in convincing fashion in both of its tilts.
The Lady Chiefs’ week ended by annihilating
Prospect Heights Campus, 68-16, Tuesday night on
the road.
Canarsie’s defense limited the Lady Cardinals (21) to no more than five points in each period, while
its offense registered double digits in every quarter.
In fact, the Lady Chiefs iced the game with a dominant 26-3 third stanza.
Senior power forward Fataya Larry led the charge
with a monster double-double effort, recording game-
highs in points (24) and rebounds (19) in the victory.
Senior point guard Briana Stoddart backed up Larry’s
performance with a spectacular double-double of her
own, scoring 21 and grabbing 10 boards.
Freshman combo guard Brianna Jones, nicknamed
little Brie by her teammates, contributed eight while
sophomore Kemisha Frederick added six rebounds
and five points.
The previous night saw Stoddart and Larry lead
Canarsie past Thomas Jefferson, 57-32, before a packed
house in its home opener.
Stoddart and Larry drained 21 and 20 points, respectively, against the Orange Wave (2-1). Jones
chipped in with nine.
Although Canarsie didn’t play its best in the first
two quarters, head coach Keiya Smith said they were
able to settle down, and rectify the situation in the
second half.
“I am proud of them. They showed up,” Smith
told the  after Monday’s game. “I felt in the
first half they were a little sloppy with the ball. I
think it had to do with just being home— we had a
big crowd in our home opener. So we just needed to
get those jitters out. In the second half, we came out,
and took care of business.”
The Lady Chiefs travel to Paul Robeson Campus
today for a 4:30 p.m. contest.

Telling It Like It Is...
Continued from page 6
the sergeants and lieutenants they work with at
their assigned precincts. The cops themselves,
who patrol the streets aren’t going to engage in
conversation with the public to change their reputation. Right???
It also doesn’t sound like police will want to get
to know people in the neighborhoods that they
patrol. During many civic meetings I’ve been to,
people complain about the horrible “attitude”
cops have – and the lack of courteousness
received from them in general. From a civilian’s
standpoint, it looks as if police aren’t allowed to
be personable with people – they’re not allowed to
talk to civilians in a… civil manner!
We’re not asking cops to make friends with
everyone they come across. We’re not asking
them to give up their “I’m tougher and better than
you” demeanor – although that would help!
The foundation of a good relationship – of any
kind – is communication, and there’s little of that
when it comes to police and residents. Yes, their
job is to enforce the law and keep order, but the
disrespect communities have for police officers is
growing and causing more disorder.
I might be offering a petty and simple-minded
idea that will never play a role in law enforcement
– where officers are friendly to youths and professionally greet those whom they protect. Let’s see
if “reform” really makes police officers New
York’s finest!

State Senator Martin Golden To FEMA: Do More For Brooklyn!
State Senator Martin J. Golden (R-C-I, Brooklyn) released a statement recently after he learned
that the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) may not necessarily take into account coastal protections like dunes and sea walls when calculating flood insurance costs for residents.
“For the Federal Government to essentially tell
residents, and the city, that billions of dollars in coastal
improvements is irrelevant to the cost structure for
flood insurance is mind boggling,” he said. “How a
federal agency can state that building sea walls to
protect coastal communities from flooding wouldn’t
be a factor in lowering the price of flood insurance
is the equivalent to stating that these communities
Week 2 PSAL Area
Hoops Round-up
By Jerry Del Priore
It was another great week for area PSAL basketball teams, with no marks on the loser side of
the ledger.
South Shore — Brooklyn AA Group 1 Girls
The Lady Vikings continued its winning ways,
running its record to 4-0 (3-0 PSAL), with wins
over Truman and Archbishop Wood High School
(Pennsylvania).
South Shore edged Archbishop Wood, 59-56, on
Sunday in non-league action at the Blue Chip 3rd
Annual Tipoff Classic at Archbishop John Carroll
High School in Wayne, Pennsylvania.
Earlier in the week, the Lady Vikings dispatched Bronx’s Truman, 60-42, last week at home.
Senior forward Brianna Fraser dropped a double-double on the Lady Mustangs (0-3), with 18
points and 11 rebounds. Sophomore guard Valena
Hickerson chipped in with 8 versus Truman.
Canarsie Educational Campus –
Brooklyn A East Boys
The Chiefs continued its solid play to start the
season, winning two more games during the week.
Canarsie ended the week by outlasting Grady
(1-2), 54-51, on Monday night.
The Chiefs (3-0) had three players in double figures: sophomore forward Tyres Desinor (17), junior
guard Nathaniel McPherson (12) and sophomore
point guard James Stevens (11).
Last week, Canarsie narrowly defeated Brooklyn
High School for Law and Technology (1-2), 58-57,
at home.
Desinor poured in 20 points and snatched an
amazing 17 rebounds while McPherson chimed in
with 18.
Thomas Jefferson – Brooklyn AA Boys
The Orange Wave (3-0) picked up two more
divisional victories to claim the top spot in the
ultra-competitive Brooklyn AA, sandwiched in between a dominate non-conference win against Cardinal Hayes.
Host Thomas Jefferson trounced Brooklyn Collegiate, 89-52, on Sunday. Junior guard Shamorie
Ponds sank a contest-high 25 points while senior
Jaquan McKennon, a guard as well, scored 16.
Senior forward Davere Creighton snatched 14 boards.
The Orange Wave’s triumph over Cardinal Hayes
proved that they’re not only a threat in the PSAL,
but also against Catholic schools, winning, 131-89,
last week.

should be abandoned, because no amount of protection will effectively lower their rates.
“We have seen enormous increases in flood insurance rates put forth by the Federal Government.
Local municipalities, in order to prevent further major
damage and loss of life, plan to put up multiple protections, including sand dunes, to help stem future
flooding,” he added. “The Federal Government’s
failure to include these billion dollar projects in its
estimation of the likelihood of another flood happening is disappointing at best. I call on congressional leaders to mandate that FEMA take these into
consideration so we don’t price entire communities
out of their homes.”

Edward R. Murrow High School Turns 40 Years Old!
A 40th anniversary celebration for all Murrow
alumni is currently being planned for the spring!
November marked 40 years since Edward R. Murrow
High School opened its doors under the supervision
and leadership of Saul Bruckner as principal. In conjunction with the 40th anniversary, Allen Barge assumed the role of principal this year. Barge began his 18year teaching career at Murrow under the supervision and guidance of Saul Bruckner.
“Murrow has always been my home,” said Principal Barge. “Our programs and unique elective courses
have attracted students and parents for 40 years. We
are excited to celebrate our anniversary this year and
remind everyone just what made them fall in love
with Murrow in the first place.” Murrow offers a vari-
ety of courses and its screened theater, art and music
programs continue to produce talented and successful graduates. Founded according to the pedagogical
theories of John Dewey, Murrow continues those teachings while embracing exciting new programs like its
CTE-approved Virtual Enterprise, the future Writers
Institute and a new and improved Television Studio.
Murrow’s Virtual Enterprise was recently awarded
Career Technical Education Certification. CTE programs integrate rigorous academic study with workforce skills in specific career pathways.
Students receive instruction in an industry-related
area and have the opportunity to graduate high school
with industry-specific competencies and skills that
lead to postsecondary education, further industry train-
ing and/or entry into the workforce. The latest institute to open its doors within Murrow is The Writers
Institute.
Now accepting submissions for Murrow’s new creative writing program, The Writers Institute is a screened
creative writing program that begins in 10th grade.
Students complete a three-year sequence of writing
and literature classes culminating in a senior project.
They assist in the creation of the Magnet – the school’s
literary magazine - and will meet with a variety of
authors throughout the program. Students will receive
a certificate of completion upon graduation. A revamped
television studio also means the introduction of a
Media Communication Major at Murrow.
The major provide students with the tools needed to
be successful in the area of communications and the
world beyond. Students will take courses in Journalism (print, radio and television), Photography (B&W
and digital), Public Relations, Filmmaking and other
related production courses. Students will learn the
production process from start to finish: from writing
scripts to shooting and editing, to writing news stories
to inform, educate and entertain.
“We offer a wide range of programs and extracurricular activities for all students; these are only a sample of the newest additions to Murrow’s courses,”
said Principal Barge. “At the same time, we teach tolerance and acceptance and foster a safe learning environment that helps students discover their interests as
they learn to make their way in the world.”
Though there have been changes, Murrow still
boasts a variety of elective courses in every subject
department: courses ranging from psychology to forensic science to Holocaust Literature to Science Fiction
studies in Literature. Murrow Opta’s continue to be a
part of the Murrow way of life. Opta’s give students
a free period during the day to study, participate in
clubs or other student activities, receive tutoring or
have lunch. For more information regarding the anniversary celebration, alumni should e-mail lwillner @
schools.nyc.gov<mailto:[email protected]>

Canarsie’s Traditional Christmas House Lights Up For The Holidays
A cold December evening didn’t stop hundreds of Canarsiens and fellow Brooklynites from coming out to celebrate the 52nd annual tree lighting ceremony hosted by Brooklyn Democratic Leader Frank Seddio and his family. For years, the Seddio family has decorated their home to the delight of
a very appreciative community. This year’s celebration was dedicated to the memory and family of Thomas E. Scalise. Every year, the Seddio family adds something special to their wonderful event – and this year was no different. At the event, which took place outside the colorful house at East
93rd Street and Flatlands Avenue on Sunday, there were four beautiful llamas that the children were able to feed. And if that wasn’t enough, the
crowd had one more special guest – jolly old Saint Nick - dressed in his red and white suit! Santa brought along some friends, including Mrs. Claus,
a few elves and even reindeer. The crowd was entertained by P.S. 115’s chorus and the Mary Queen of Heaven Church choir. You may see and purchase more photos from the event by visiting www.canarsiecourier.com. Just click on the blue button!

The MTA has announced that it will hold public hearings on proposed changes in fares, crossing
charges, and service levels, and the next one will
be at Brooklyn College, today Thursday, December
11th, from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Walt Whitman Theater
on 2900 Campus Road on Nostrand Avenue and
Avenue H. City Councilman Jumaane Williams encourages all community members to attend!
Every day, more than 9 million customers use
MTA subways, buses, commuter railroads, bridges,
and tunnels to get around the region. But fares and
tolls cover only 52 precent of the MTA’s operating
budget. The MTA’s costs continue to rise, even
while the MTA has cut more than $1 billion from
its operating budget. For this reason, the MTA has
included fare and toll increases of 4 percent, as
part of its 2015 Financial Plan.
The agency is considering two main possibilities. One would raise the $2.50 base fare to $2.75.
It would also boost the bonus riders get if they put
$5.50 or more on a MetroCard, with the increase
going from 5 to 11 percent. The second proposal
would keep the fare at $2.50 but eliminate the MetroCard bonus.
The fare and toll proposals allow for a range of
options to be considered; increases to fares or
crossing charges may be less than the maximum
amounts specified. Following the hearings, after
considering public comment, the Boards of the MTA
and its affiliated agencies will decide which potential fare, toll and service adjustments to adopt. Questions and comments can be submitted via email
through the MTA’s website at www.mta.info, by
letter to MTA Government Affairs, 347 Madison
Ave, 5th floor, New York, NY 10017, or by calling the MTA directly at (646) 252-6777.

Mill Basin Home Ready
For Chanukah
The homeowners of a quaint, one-family house on East 64th
Street and Avenue T turned their lawn into a colorful Chanukah celebration this week. Complete with brightly lit dreidels and menorahs, this Mill Basin home also has brilliant blue lights leading to
the doorway. One of the most fun parts of the display is the huge
inflatable teddy bear – who greets passersby. Since the Teitelbaum
family’s home, located not too far from this house, was devastated
by Hurricane Sandy, their annual Chanukah display has been postponed until further notice. Fortunately, this home will be lighting the
way on the block and keeping the tradition going!

If chopping onions for latkes irritates your eyes,
try placing the onion in the freezer for a few minutes before cutting. This will make the liquid in the
onions slightly frozen, and less likely to splash as
you cut. When chopping onions, hot peppers, etc,
you can protect your hands by wearing plastic
gloves or by rubbing them first with olive oil, then
wiping the excess off with a napkin (to prevent
your hands from being slippery, which would be
dangerous when using a knife!) After you finish
chopping, wash thoroughly with a non-drying
soap.
Leave dairy products in the fridge until you
need them, and return them promptly. Example- if
cooking with sour cream, but also later using it as
a garnish for the latkes, place the sour cream in the
fridge while the food cooks. Dairy products can
pick up bacteria easily, especially in a kitchen that
is warm from cooking.
To keep latkes from getting soggy, remove from
fire while still crisp (before they get “too done”)
and place on a cake cooling rack (set inside a pan,
so the dripping oil will not go on your counter)
while you refill the pan with raw latkes to cook.
Then transfer the cooked latkes to a tray lined with
paper towels. This prevents excess oil from building up on the paper towels and being reabsorbed by
the latkes.

Some Lesser-known Facts
About Chanukkah
•Although many people refer to the
Chanukah candelabra as a “menorah,” a true
menorah has seven branches to hold candles
and is associated with the Temple. The ninebranched candelabra that holds Chanukah
candles is known as a “Hanukkiah.”
•Chanukah can be spelled in many different ways, including Hanukah, Hanukkah,
Chanukah and Chanukkah.
•Chanukah is a communal holiday. It is
best to light the Hannukiah where others can
see it and hear you recite blessings.
•Chanukah is based on the struggle led by
the Maccabees, a Jewish tribe family, against
the Hellenistic overseers of the Land of
Israel. Hellenized Jews, including King
Antiochus Epiphanes, had decreed that local
religions, including Judaism, cease practice
and that their traditions be outlawed on
penalty of death. Hellenistic rituals and sacrifices defiled the Holy Temple in Jerusalem,
which eventually had to be cleaned and
rebuilt.
•It has been said that the Maccabean war was
the first war of ideology. The Maccabees
weren’t warriors by nature. They were pious
men stirred to action by beliefs.
•There are actually two miracles associated
with Chanukah. First is that a flask of oil was
found at all. The second is that the scant
amount of oil found was enough to light the
temple for eight days.

•Chanukah is celebrated on the same day
each year according to the Hebrew calendar.
But because the Hebrew calendar doesn’t correspond to our modern calendar, the day seems to
fluctuate.
•Gift-giving was not traditionally associated
with Chanukah, but rather a few sweets or
money were exchanged. Eventually it grew into
a gift-giving holiday.

Many homeowners overlook one of the most
important things to prepare for when the holiday
season rolls around—winter storms. Experts believe homeowners are unprepared for winter storms,
putting their families and their home in danger. So
while you’re decking the halls for the season, make
sure you take the following into consideration and
ensure your home is both merry and safe.
Major Dangers Associated with Winter Storms
Homeowners can face major dangers when winter weather rolls around, including damage from
the weight of ice, snow and sleet. In the case of
major snowstorms, families can even be trapped in
their homes due to blocked or frozen entryways.
Cracked or burst water pipes connected to anything
from steam and hot water heating to a fire protection
system can be extremely costly. Even after the
storm, melting snow can cause major flooding.
Tips to Winterize and Protect Your Home
Though the list of winter weather dangers runs
long, there are 10 easy steps that can ease or prevent these issues, all while creating a safer home
environment during emergencies.
1. Install weather stripping.
2. Have your furnace/heating system serviced
at the beginning of each season to ensure it runs
properly, and have the filters changed.
3. Move furniture away from vents.
4. Add rock salt and sand to emergency kits to
help melt ice on walkways.
5. Install roof-heating cables to prevent ice dams
on roofs and gutters.
6. Insulate pipes.
7. Place a cover over attic stairs.
8. Insulate outlets with gasket covers.
9. Invest in an automatic home standby generator that automatically provides power for heat
and electricity when there is a power outage. They
turn on as soon as the power goes out and stay on
until utility power is restored.
10. If you have extra money in your budget, go
for attic insulation, which can save as much as 30
percent on heating costs.

Just 30 percent of Americans
with HIV had the virus under control in 2011, and approximately
two-thirds of those whose virus
was out of control had been diagnosed but were no longer in care,
according to a new Vital Signs report published by the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC). The new study underscores
the importance of making sure people with HIV receive ongoing care,
treatment, and other information
and tools that help prevent transmission to others, as well as the
need to reach more people with
HIV testing. Among those whose
infection was not under control,
more than three times the proportion (66 percent) were no longer in
care as had never been diagnosed
(20 percent).
The HIV epidemic continues to
threaten the health and well-being
of many Americans – with more
than one million people living with
the disease in the U.S. and 50,000
new infections each year.
When used consistently, antiretroviral medication can keep HIV
controlled at very low levels in the
body (known as viral suppression),
allowing people with HIV to live
longer, healthier lives and reducing
the likelihood they will transmit
HIV to others. Treatment has been
shown to reduce sexual transmission of HIV by 96 percent, and U.S.
clinical guidelines now recommend
that everyone diagnosed with HIV
receive treatment, regardless of
their CD4 cell count or viral load.
“For people living with HIV, it’s
not just about knowing you’re infected – it’s also about going to the
doctor for medical care,” said CDC
Director Tom Frieden, M.D.,
M.P.H.
The new study estimates that of
the 1.2 million Americans living
with HIV in 2011, 70 percent did
not have their virus under control.
Among the nearly 840,000 people
who had not achieved viral suppression:
• 66 percent had been diagnosed
but were not engaged in regular
HIV care,
• 20 percent did not yet know
they were infected,
• 4 percent were engaged in care
but not prescribed antiretroviral
treatment, and
• 10 percent were prescribed antiretroviral treatment but did not
achieve viral suppression.
The percentage of Americans
with HIV who achieved viral suppression remained roughly stable
(26 percent in 2009 vs. 30 percent
in 2011).

In the earlier stages of the disease, the person
is aware of his or her memory loss, and is
ashamed and frightened over what is occurring.
Awareness of the loss of one’s ability to remember leads to depression. Fear over being confused
can lead to anxiety and hostility toward others, as
well as paranoid beliefs. Family and friends can
be supportive by continuing to maintain contact
and by being patient with the afflicted relative.
Dementia is a result of organic brain damage, which
cannot be reversed and for which the person suffering with dementia do best in quiet, familiar
surroundings with adequate but familiar distractions.
The toll on the family is often extensive. In
order to cope with their pain, suffering and loss,
psychoanalytic psychotherapy should be considered.
