Brian Gewirtz’ family has been
searching tirelessly for him for over a
month now. This weekend, the
Gewirtz’ broadened their hunt by distributing flyers in Monroe, NY, in
response to images of the area Brian
had in his computer’s internet history.
The family told the public in a
press release that their son, who is 20
years old and autistic, looked up
Spring Cove Park on Google maps on
his computer before he went missing
from his Marine Park home on
February 17th. The Monroe Police
Department has stepped in to help the
search for Brian, who doesn’t have ID
or a cell phone on him.
One of the family’s concerns is that
Brian has not taken his diabetes medication and that he may be disoriented.
The family has not given up hope,
but needs the support of media attention and volunteers to help find Brian.
They are asking for the public to
spread information via social media
and to download the flyer from
www.facebook.com/pages/FindBrian-Gewirtz/1534973450096787
and put it up near your home or work.
Donations of flashlights, batteries,
bottles of water, food, flyers and tape
are greatly appreciated. The base of
operations is located at 2952 Avenue
R, Brooklyn, NY 11229.
Flyers are also being distributed in
different languages all over New
York, throughout hospitals and shelters, which is a new approach to the
desperate search.
The public is also asked to help
with donations towards the search by
visiting www.gofundme.com/findbriannow. The family hopes to raise up
to $10,000. As of this week, just over
$5,600 was raised.

Murder-Suicide In Starrett City Dangerous Stop For Bus In Canarsie
By Dara Mormile
A mother and son are in stable
condition at Brookdale Hospital after
a 54-year-old man shot them – and
then himself – inside of a Starrett City
apartment building just after 1 a.m.
yesterday. According to reports, the
shooting may have been the result of
a domestic dispute.
When police with the 75th Precinct
arrived on the 14th floor at 1155
Pennsylvania Avenue, they found a
23-year-old with multiple gunshot
wounds to his torso and a 64-year-old
woman was grazed with a gunshot
wound to her head. Police allegedly
found a .25 caliber pistol inside the
apartment.
Police then found the alleged shooter, identified as Kenneth Williams, with
a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the
head. Williams was pronounced dead
at the scene.
The    reported that
the couple got married in October
after being together for eight years –
and that they recently moved into the
Pennsylvania Avenue apartment together with her son.
Police are still investigating the
circumstances that led to the murdersuicide.

A speeding van is believed to be responsible for a bus accident that
injured 14 people Monday morning on East 102nd Street and Glenwood
Road. According to officials, a Honda Odyssey slammed into a B6 bus
that was traveling eastbound on Glenwood Road. Some witnesses said
the van blew through a stop sign near the corner, causing its airbags
to deploy when it hit the front of the bus. Two people were seriously
injured – including the SUV driver, who was taken to Brookdale Hospital.
Bus passengers were also taken to Brookdale. The accident is still

First Quarter Of 2015 Ends On A Positive Note For The 69th Precinct
By Linda Steinmuller
The 69th Precinct is working hard to
keep the streets of Canarsie safe. A
decrease in crime, additional police officers and the crackdown on a rash of
robberies were some of the topics covered at the March meeting of the 69th
Precinct Community Council.
Commanding Officer Captain Norman
Grandstaff presented five officers with
Cop of the Month awards. There was
recently a pattern of robberies involving
pizza delivery men, mainly near East
82nd Street and Flatlands Avenue. The
suspects, young men between 17 and
18 years old, would order pizza, give a
fictitious address and then steal the food
– and money – from the delivery person.
On February 18th, five officers – Lt.
Christopher Devaney, Alexis Bruno,
Louis Villegas, Matthew Krauszer and
Nicklas Yardan – were on anti-crime/
robbery patrol. They apprehended one
male involved in the pizza scam, obtained
a search warrant to enter his home and
were successful in retrieving two guns.
There is some good news for Canarsie
after the sharp spike in crime that shook
our community during 2014. The commanding officer reported that crime is
down by 30 percent this year.
“The decrease in crime in the 69th
Precinct is the second biggest decrease
in the city,” Grandstaff said. “We’ve had
three shootings compared to eight last
year at this time.”
With the warm weather just around
the corner, there’s always the fear that
crime will rise along with the temperatures. Grandstaff reassured the crowd
that the precinct has plans in the works
to keep violence down during the summer months and will provide residents
with more details at future meetings.
The 69th Precinct also added 18 new
officers fresh out of the police academy.
The rookie officers, who graduated in
January, will be assigned to mentors, who
are specially selected for their experience
and commitment.
“These officers are the best of the best,”
said Grandstaff. “Each officer selected
will be assigned to two rookies.”
Let’s hope that the recent decrease
in crime continues throughout 2015 –
and we have a peaceful summer – free
of gun shots.
The next meeting of the 69th Precinct Community Council is scheduled
to take place on Tuesday, April 28th at
8 p.m. at the H.E.S., 9502 Seaview
Avenue.
Police officers accept March Cop of the Month Awards from precinct officials and community leaders.

With the help of two Siberian Huskies - Rayza
and Rocky - local resident Michael
Rickenbacker discovered this strange-looking
creature west of Canarsie Pier last week, but no
one is quite sure what it is.
Rickenbacker, who is a captain in charge of
the Junior ROTC program, often performs drills
with cadets along the Canarsie shoreline. He
was walking on the beach, near the Paerdegat
Basin Bridge, when his dog Rayza found the carcass, which must have washed up onto the shore.
It’s hard to say how long the unidentified creature has been dead, but, from the looks of it,
predators snacked on its remains. Rickenbacker
told the  he did some research
on the internet to try to identify the amphibian
but could not find an exact match. “From the
claws and the prickly thorns on its tail, it looks
like it might be a marine iguana,” he said.

the mystery of the mutant creature is solved.
Meeting Maps Out Plans For Future Floods In Canarsie

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers revealed two
possible structural solutions for protecting the
Canarsie shoreline at a special town hall meeting
Monday night. Hosted by Congressman Hakeem
Jeffries, who represents the 9th Congressional
District, the forum helped residents better understand flood maps, which reportedly went into effect
this week.
“While I'm doing these town hall meetings across
my district, which covers parts of Queens and
Brooklyn that were hit hard by Hurricane Sandy, I
want to start the process in Canarsie,” Jeffries told
the crowd that packed the auditorium at the Hebrew
Educational Society. “I know Canarsie felt like it
was ignored in the aftermath of the storm, but it's my
responsibility to do everything I can to help you
understand how you're going to be impacted by new
flood maps and flood insurance.”
The sympathetic congressman, who began his
term after Hurricane Sandy tore many communities
apart in October 2012, said the rebuilding efforts will
include various resiliency plans that will be instituted by the city and federal government.
Colonel Paul E. Owen, Commander and District
Engineer with the Army Corps of Engineers, told
residents that initial efforts to protect Jamaica Bay
from storms have already begun.
“We've been working to protect the Rockaway
peninsula by building high dunes in the sand along
the Rockaways,” he said. “In Canarsie, we're looking
to do one of two things: blocking water from
Kingsborough College to Breezy Point and blocking
the inlets with a surge barrier. We could install floodgates that can be lifted when a big storm is approaching. Another idea is to raise the bulkheads and build
a barrier closer to the homes – which is a more localized solution.”
Col. Owen said that by August, the agency should
have a clearer idea of which plan will work better for
homes along the Canarsie shoreline as a result of
their comprehensive resiliency study. He also noted
that environmental impact studies need to be completed and studying specific points along the Atlantic
shoreline are part of the process.
Other presentations were provided by representatives from the mayor's office and the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) about
Flood maps provided at Monday night’s meeting.
identifying Canarsie's risk for another storm. With
the help of topography, landscape studies and models of previous storms, FEMA was able to calculate
the base flood elevation, which in turn helps to calculate insurance rates.
Jeffries told the audience that the new maps will
benefit contractors and construction companies who
now have to build homes in flood zones accordingly.
They must abide by new codes. “Companies now
have to work in partnership with the city and know
how to build a home that's in a flood zone,” he said.
Maps of new flood zones in Canarsie were also
distributed and provided technical information about
how much of the community is not considered part
of the flood plain. The high-risk areas were darkened
on the map. Homeowners – or those who were interested in buying a home in the high-risk locations were also able to get information on how the flood
maps affect mortgages and the cost of homeowners'
insurance.
Various resources for homeowners were available
at the town hall meeting. If you’d like to know when
the next session will take place, call Jeffries’ district
office at 718-237-2211.

By Dara Mormile
f I had the resources, the time – and maybe an
intern’s detailed assistance – I would investigate
how many arrests were made in Canarsie last
year thanks to surveillance camera footage. How
many unsolved crimes exist despite footage capturing someone in the act? To be specific, how many
crimes in New York City Housing were thwarted,
altogether, by the presence of cameras?
A year ago, a young man shown on camera walking through Bayview Houses was apprehended for a
rash of robberies shortly after his image was
released. Maybe the arrest was a result of the new
technology installed at the housing development.
Maybe it was thanks to quick-acting residents who
recognized the thug while he was walking the
grounds.
Really…how much are cameras really worth
when you realize they might not prevent a crime
from occurring. Yes, criminals may be deterred from
committing an act if they know they’re on camera,
but they could easily conceal their identity and get
away with murder – literally – should they feel the
need to commit one.
Unless there’s a security guard behind the scenes,
watching live video feed, who will act promptly
before the suspect flees the scene, too many
tragedies will occur with only a video camera in
place.
I
tenants – but how effective will cameras be when it
truly comes to crime prevention? What about inside
buildings, elevators, hallways and areas where cameras won’t reach?
In my opinion, it won’t be enough to spend millions upon million of dollars (NYCHA is reportedly
providing $17 million) on installing cameras in city
buildings, as per Mayor Bill de Blasio’s announcement last year.
Let’s get real! When the media publishes the
headline and story: “Shooter/stabber/robber caught
on camera,” the horrific act has already been committed. A life has already been lost, changed or
impacted…A wallet or phone has already been
stolen and an attack has already traumatized the victim!
We’ve seen plenty of camera footage on the news
where a gunman opened fire in the middle of the
street, outside of a club or house party. It’s great that
we have those images of the reckless punks, but in
many unfortunate cases, police were unable to
respond fast enough to catch up with the suspects –
who already left multiple people with wounds that
perhaps scarred them for life – or cost them their
lives!
Chances are, arrests are made in those club and
party house shootings as a result of someone coming
forward with information. However, it’s satisfying
knowing that justice will eventually be served and
that a criminal will do time as a result of being pos-
he was arrested within a few days of the stabbings.
Would it have mattered if a camera were installed in
those buildings while he was committing the heartless crime?
Even if he knew he was on camera, I don’t think
he was in a sensible, normal frame of mind to realize
what he was doing in the first place. Reports stated
that St. Hubert went back and forth with authorities
on whether he was mentally fit to even stand trial!
Please…A “normal functioning” person does NOT
take a knife to two defenseless children! In this case,
I don’t think all the cameras in the world – worth
thousands of taxpayers’ dollars – would have saved
those innocent kids.
It seems like most criminals aren’t banking on
getting arrested or being identified – or most of them
wouldn’t be committing the crime in the first place.
I know that’s a naïve way of thinking, but can we
assume that a lot of criminals are somehow “mentally unfit,” which results in them making irrational
decisions to commit crimes? Cameras stand no
chance – anywhere, not just in NYCHA buildings –
when it comes to ruthless scoundrels and their violent tactics.
In my opinion, we need more HUMAN presence
instead of machines and technology to simply
observe a crime going down. Unfortunately, there’s
not enough money in the world to hire enough manpower to patrol NYCHA to catch criminals and

Plenty Of Food On The Table For Passover
The Jewish Community Council of Canarsie (JCCC) wants to make sure
everyone has food on their tables for the upcoming Passover holiday.
With the help of many volunteers, 1,800 packages of food were delivered
to the area’s homebound and elderly. They contained items like matzo,
grape juice, pickles, mayonnaise, jam, carrots and onions – all the ingredients needed for the Passover Seder table. The UJA-Federation also
donated 70 bags for younger Jewish families. On Monday, sixth grade
students from two schools, East Midwood Hebrew Day School and Solomon Schecter School of Long Island, worked together to prepare
packages for distribution. Rabbi Avrohom Hecht, Executive Director of
JCCC, told the Canarsie Courier, “It’s important for young people to get
involved with volunteering. The most important lesson is learned by
example.” The rabbi explained, “At the Passover table, we say, ‘All who are
hungry, come and partake.’ It’s a Jewish tradition to take care of the poor,
elderly and lonely.” In the true Passover spirit, his hope is that no one in

They’re Dedicated To “Cutting”
Violence From The Community

The anticipation of warm weather wasn’t the only reason Classic
Barber & Beauty Salon teamed up
with
Beraca
Community
Development Corporation and the
69th Precinct to provide free haircuts. The shop hosted a special
event on Saturday - providing haircuts to all male customers who
joined the conversation about violence in our community.
“Our goal is to bridge the gap
between young black men and
police officers,” said Pastor Sony
Pierre of Beraca Baptist Church.
“It’s about what has been happening the last six months - the violence and the shootings. We’re giving out free haircuts to everyone
who comes by so they can have a
dialogue with the police officers.”
Those who wanted a free trim
had to bring in a special coupon
from Classic Barber, located at
1506 Rockaway Parkway, between
11 a.m. and 2 p.m. While the barbers kept the young men styling,
Community Affairs Officer Eton
White spoke about the NYPD, getting many to debate the positive
and negatives of the department.
“It’s good to see the police and
community coming together,” said
Havlis Roberts, who took advantage of the service. “It’s time to
introduce the young folks to the
police. It makes for a good relationship.”
Pastor Pierre plans to hold the
free haircut event again in the summer and is considering making it an
annual event. For Classic Barber’s
Viaman Placide, who has been cutting hair for over 20 years, holding
the event is a welcome idea.
“It feels very good to do free
haircuts,” he said.

KCC team consists of two men and 12 women who are all full time students. This is the first time they made it to the top two spot. The KCC
team has been practicing the competition routine since December 2014.
According to Kingsborough officials, the cheerleaders practice at least
three days a week, four hours a day, including during holiday breaks
and the weeks in between semesters. There were four other teams

worth of state capital funding was
allocated by local elected officials –
but only one third of the grounds were
provided with cameras.
Some residents said cameras are
helpful in catching some criminals
but many crimes take place in elevators and inside buildings where there
is no surveillance.
Announcement of the additional
cameras came last week when Mayor
Bill de Blasio’s office confirmed that
29 NYCHA complexes will receive
surveillance upgrades or installations. City officials will allocate $17
million towards the project.
Shortly after two children were
stabbed inside of the Boulevard Houses
elevator in June 2014, discussions
about cameras deterring criminal
activities were at the forefront of crime
prevention.

Armed Duo On The Loose
In Starrett City
By Dara Mormile
A woman waiting for the elevator
at her Vandalia Avenue apartment
building was recently robbed of her
iPhone, keys, necklace and earrings.
Police are asking for the public’s help
in tracking down the two ruthless thugs
believed to be responsible for the crime.
According to officials, the suspects
followed a 26-year-old woman into
her apartment building in Starrett City
on March 21st at about 11 p.m. While
she waited for the elevator, one of the
men approached her, displayed a handgun and demanded her belongings.
After she complied, she went outside
of the building to see where they fled –
only to realize that they used her car
keys to steal her 2006 Ford Escape.
There were no reported injuries during
the armed robbery, and police released
surveillance footage of the suspects
while in the building.
Anyone with information in regards
to the incident 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.nypdcrime
stoppers.com or texting their tips to
274637(CRIMES) then enter TIP577.

Grumpy Neighbor Treats “Man’s Best Friend” More Like An Enemy

Many animal lovers consider their pets part of the
family. That’s why it’s hard to believe that someone
would actually want to kill Frank Battaglia’s precious pooch, Snoopy, but the Gerritsen Beach resident has a video to prove it.
Battaglia, who lives at 117 Canton Court, said his
next-door neighbor tried to kill Snoopy with a bone.
“Snoopy is a 100 percent Basset Hound with pure
English markings. He comes from the best kennel in
Pennsylvania,” Battaglia told the .
“Why would anyone want to kill this adorable dog?”
Battaglia is a former Canarsien who moved to
Gerritsen Beach in 2007. Unfortunately, his neigh-
bor does not share the same love for animals and,
according to Battaglia, has thrown rocks and other
objects at his defenseless dog.
A chain-link fence separates the two properties.
Video surveillance shows Battaglia’s neighbor kicking a small, sharp, jagged bone under the fence onto
the dog lover’s property. As dogs love bones,
Snoopy immediately chomped on the bone, but it got
lodged in his throat.
Fortunately, Battaglia was watching one of the
video surveillance screens in his home at the time of
the incident. When he noticed that Snoopy was acting strangely, he immediately ran outside and discovered that his beloved dog was choking. Battaglia
took quick action and tried to retrieve the razorsharp bone from Snoopy’s throat. He managed to
hook his finger around the bone and pull it out of the
frightened dog’s mouth. That was back on
September 25, 2014.
“Snoopy threw up white acid and blood,”
Battaglia said, describing the gruesome scene.
Battaglia took Snoopy to his veterinarian, who
examined the young dog who is not even three years
old. In a report, the animal doctor stated: “Had the
bone not been taken out of Snoopy’s throat by Frank
Battaglia, Snoopy absolutely would have died by
choking.”
The distressed dog owner followed up on the incident with the 61st Precinct. Battaglia said that two
police officers arrived at his house around midnight
on the night of the attack. “They viewed the surveillance footage and told me, ‘We are going to
arrest him.’ The next morning I got a call from one
of the officers stating that my neighbor would be
charged with animal cruelty and reckless endangerment.”
The case was passed on to two detectives who
also watched the incriminating video on October 6,
2014. According to Battaglia, one of the detectives
told him, “He’s going down; we’re going to arrest
him,” but Battaglia didn’t hear back from them, so
he periodically called the precinct. And then something unexpected happened.
“Two cops came back to my house – four months
later – and said that the case was dropped. They said
there was no criminal offense, and it’s now a civil
matter,” a shocked Battaglia explained.
Now, he plans to sue his dog-hating neighbor in
small claims court. He wants reimbursement for the
cost of his vet bill, which was $323. Battaglia also
added plastic taping – costing $60 - along the bottom
of his fence to prevent future incidents.
“I’m fearful when I let my dog out. I don’t know
what he has in store next. The detectives basically
gave him carte blanche,” Battaglia said.
He’s reached out to an animal rights advocacy
group to see if they can assist and hopefully prevent
similar attacks on other dogs.
“If a person is insensitive to an animal’s wellbeing, who knows what they’ll do? If they can hurt
a dog or any type of animal, they can hurt people
too,” he said.
In the meantime, Battaglia lives in fear of his
Snoopy’s safety.
Dogs may be “man’s best friend” to Battaglia and
other dog lovers, but they are nothing more than enemies to others.

Library Renovations Discussed At Public Meeting
By Tess McRae
The East Flatbush community took a first step
toward rethinking their library on March 26th during
a public outreach meeting.
Parents, community leaders and stakeholders were
invited to sit down with designer David Leven to
discuss ideas about the East Flatbush library at 9612
Church Avenue. The ideas, while varied, each aimed
for the same goal: making the library a better place.
“To prepare for this project, we conducted a few
studies and learned about the history of the library,”
Leven said. “We’re interested in how you envision
your library and how you see it fitting into your community.”
The plan is still in the working stages; a rendering
has yet to be composed and schematics have not been
drawn. Instead, Leven and his partner shared some
basic ideas they had for the space at Church Avenue
and Linden Boulevard a busy intersection for both
cars and pedestrians.
At the top of the list is incorporating natural light
into the overall design of the library branch.
“One of the weakest parts of most libraries is that
there is not a lot of natural light,” Leven said. “We’re
looking to open the roof as much as possible maybe
some skylights and opening the facade to glass. This
opens the library up for visitors, but also allows people walking by to take a look inside from the street.”
Leven and his team are also hoping to add softer
seating, designated reading rooms and upgrade the
library’s technology so that it can utilize modern-day
tools such as self-checkout.
Attendees were excited about the proposal, but
they felt it was necessary to focus on youths.
“This community has no facilities for young people in particular,” one father said. “We need to create
a space for young adults.”
The librarians wholeheartedly agreed. The building serves as a hangout spot for many middle school
and high school students who want to finish their
homework and those who are just looking to kick back
with their friends. The library already offers a few
programs for teens, including teen trivia and movie
screenings, but they are held in a rundown room with
fluorescent lighting and no windows.
Other requests included incorporating the neighborhood’s cultural ties to the Caribbean and South
America into some of the artwork or murals. Adults
also asked that meeting rooms for small groups be
included in future designs.
Though Leven and his team were open to suggestions, they are limited in what they can build. The
library, which is one floor, cannot be built up or down.
Creating a green space or rooftop garden is also out
of budget. However, the building will be LED friendly.
Like It Is...

Let’s see if the millions of dollars spent on

When crime decreases in buildings that already

Vandalia Houses Residents Boiling Mad At NYCHA’s Slow Response Time

The lack of heat or hot water is an all-too-common
complaint for those living in public housing – especially
over the frigid winter months. What would you do if you
had to deal with a broken boiler – for 15 years? That’s
what residents at the Vandalia Houses in East New York
are forced to live with, and they’re demanding answers
from the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA).
Members of the Vandalia Houses Tenants Association
voiced their concerns this week during an exclusive interview with the . The 10-story housing
complex, which opened in 1983, is relatively small. It
consists of two buildings (Numbers 17 and 77) and has a
senior center situated in between the two buildings. To
rent an apartment, you must either be 62 years old or 55
years old and disabled.
Two boilers are used to heat the entire facility, but one
of them has been broken since 2000. The lack of heat
makes living conditions unbearable for Vandalia’s tenants.
“If the pump goes on the working boiler, then we’re
without heat for two or three days – and it’s always on the
coldest days,” Mildred Carusillo, President of the
Vandalia Houses Tenants Association and Tenant Patrol
Supervisor, told the .
Over the years, the association has made countless
calls to NYCHA, but the boiler was never replaced. “We
don’t want another 15 years of this. If we stop complaining, this issue will be put on the back burner,”
Carusillo said.
“The tenants on the ground floor and the top floors suffer the most,” Carusillo explained, stating that the heat
doesn’t rise adequately to the ninth and tenth floors.
There’s no heat in the hallways either. “It feels like
Alaska in our hallways,” Harold Brady, Acting Vice
President of the tenant association said.
To make matters worse, tenants must juggle twice the
amount of bureaucracy that other NYCHA tenants deal
with. Vandalia is a federal building that’s managed by
NYCHA, and residents complain that they get the runaround from both agencies. They say that each agency
claims it is not their responsibility to fix specific problems.
One example is cracked concrete, which is prevalent
throughout the housing project.
Patio concrete in the area behind the building is broken up and crumbling, which presents a dangerous situation for many seniors who use canes or walkers. Many
of them use the patio area as a shortcut to walk to the
nearby shopping center on Louisiana and Pennsylvania
avenues.
The front of the building is no better. Sidewalks are
torn up, making it practically impossible to walk along
Vandalia Avenue.
The tenants association said that they were told that
some of the sidewalk is on government property while
other parts are on city property.
In addition to boiler problems, there is only one drain
in the basement for two buildings. “We have so much
flooding here. Sometimes the water in the basement is up
to your knees,” Carusillo said. There is also a nasty smell
in the hallways due to constant flooding.
As of press time, NYCHA did not respond to our
inquiries.
Vandalia Houses residents are waiting – and hoping –
for answers. They’re hoping that next winter won’t be
the 16th year without heat.

Belt Parkway Closure
The Department of Transportation’s Division of
Bridges recently announced that they are going to paint the Erskine Street overpass along
the Belt Parkway from April 6th through May
1st. As a result, two lanes will be closed in both
directions on the Belt Parkway twice a week in
the early morning hours. At least one lane in
each direction will remain open to traffic.

Electronic Payments
International taxpayers who do
not have a U.S. bank account may
follow the instructions below to
transfer funds from their foreign
bank account directly to the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) for payment
of their individual or business tax
liabilities.
Although this method of payment
is available to anyone with a foreign
bank account (which includes many
types of financial institutions), it can
be costly. Please consider other
options, including paying by credit
card, to avoid the high cost of international wire transfer. For more
information on how to use the
Electronic Federal Tax Payment
System (EFTPS) or other U.S. based
payment methods, please visit the
“Make a Payment” link through the
IRS site.
Note: Payments of U.S. tax must
be remitted to the U.S. Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) in U.S. dollars.

In order to complete an international wire transfer through your
foreign bank, you will need to complete the Same-Day Taxpayer
Payment Worksheet with the proper
Tax Type Code and tax period (year
and/or quarter) so that the funds will
be properly applied to your IRS tax
liability. After you have completed
the worksheet, take it to your bank
to request international wiring.
Your foreign bank must have a
banking relationship with a U.S.
bank, although the U.S. bank does
not have to be an affiliate or otherwise related to the foreign
bank. Small local banks may not be
able to affect an international wire
transfer but most large banks can. If
your bank is able to transfer money
to the U.S., it will ask you to complete an application for international
wiring. You will need the Routing
Transit Number (RTN), also known
as
the
American
Banking
Association (ABA), number for the
“Destination Bank”, sometimes
referred
to
by
banks
as
“Beneficiary’s Bank”.
To complete a wire transfer you

Local Guardian Angel Celebrates Milestone
Former Canarsien Curtis Sliwa made history 36 years ago when he founded the Guardian Angels, an organization established to help keep communities safe. On Thursday, March 26th, Sliwa celebrated the Guardian Angels’ first subway ride as well as his 61st birthday. The anniversary – and
Sliwa’s special day – was hosted at the Attic Rooftop & Lounge in Manhattan. There was also a fundraiser to help Sliwa, who grew up in Canarsie,
and the Angels keep Long Island patrols going strong, as crime is rising east of the city. Guardian Angel-themed prizes were raffled off, and red velvet cupcakes were served as Sliwa thanked his fellow Angels for all of their diligent work over the decades. The Guardian Angels are in 130 cities
and 18 different countries, touching the lives of millions of people around the world and providing avenues for youth engagement. You may see and

Before discount shops popped up all over Flatlands
Avenue, we had a slew of automotive businesses that
thrived here. One of those shops was Aid Auto Supply at
East 78th Street and Flatlands Avenue, just east of South
Shore High School. Unfortunately, there was a wild fire at
the one-story shop in September 1984. The blaze was so
dangerous, firefighters had to battle the flames for nearly an hour from the exterior of the building before containing the fire inside. Fortunately, no one was injured in
the afternoon blaze. Today, the store is home to a 99cent discount variety store/American and Caribbean grocery. If you are / were a resident who has old photos of

After a stellar basketball career at
St. Joseph’s College, an outpouring of
fan votes helped David Louison earn
the last spot on the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC)
Reese’s Division III College All-Star
East team.
The All-Star game, which took place
last month at the Salem Civic Center
in Salem, Va., was a great way for the
East Flatbush native to closeout his
outstanding collegiate basketball career.
“It was exciting,” said Louison, who
had four points, a team-high seven rebounds, an assist, and a steal in 19 minutes of action in a 105-94 defeat to the
West squad. “It was just wonderful all
around. It was an experience in itself.”
Bears head coach Joseph Cocozello believes his standout forward’s play
merited the All-Star nod.
“The combination of Dave’s Godgiven ability and work ethic has made
him a premier player at the Division III
level and he is truly deserving of the AllStar Game selection,” Cocozello said.
Louison excelled at St. Joe’s, scoring 1698 points and grabbing 1195 rebounds in his career, while garnering
a number of accolades in the process
—on and off the hardwood.
Over the last month, the 6’ 2”, 21year-old collected CoSIDA/Capital
One Academic All-America First Team,
USCAA Student-Athlete of the Year,
AD3I All-Independent First Team and
HVIAC Player of the Year honors.
But it was Louison’s contributions
throughout his days at St. Joe’s that help
the program reach new heights, going
from 8-19 to 13-14 since joining the
Bears as a freshman for the 2011-12
campaign. Following that season, St.
Joe’s has really thrived, as he’s helped
guide the team to three straight winning
seasons and two USCAA National
Championship appearances.
“His many achievements on the court
both individually and with his teammates speak for themselves,” Cocozello said. “Equally impressive is the pride
he puts into his academics. He truly
epitomizes the term student-athlete.
Most impressive of all is his character.
Dave is a gentleman both on and off
the court and we are truly blessed to
have had him represent St. Joseph’s
College these past four years!”
In addition to being a star studentathlete, Louison, who sports a 3.93 GPA,
has been working as a student clerk in
the civil division of the US Attorney’s
Office since his sophomore year. He
hopes to land a paralegal job there, but
hasn’t ruled out playing professional
basketball in the near future.
After he’s accomplished either of
those aspirations, Louison hopes to
attend law school, and work on fulfilling his lifelong dream of being an
attorney.
But Louison said he’ll never forget
his time on the court at St Joe’s, where
he played a huge part in its recent success.
“It’s honestly been humbling,” he
said. “I’m glad I can look back years
from now and say I’ve been a part of
it.”

More Parents Now Applying For Seats
On Local Education Council
By Dara Mormile
Nearly two dozen parents have
applied for seats on District 18’s
Community Education Council (CEC).
The Department of Education (DOE)
recently revealed that nearly 1,300
parents applied this year for spots on
their local CEC boards. Of the thousands who applied, according to the
Daily News, only 873 were eligible.
In Brooklyn, there are 290 candidates,
191 in Queens, 185 in the Bronx, 180
in Manhattan and 27 in Staten Island.
There are 21 candidates running
for CEC 18, which encompasses all
public schools in Canarsie. Candidates
– including members who are already
on the board – are parents, School
Leadership Team members, former
principals, Parent Teachers Association presidents, counselors and those
who have special education backgrounds – also known as parents who
have IEP (Individualized Education
Program) children.
While those who apply for positions on the CEC are simply required
to have a child attending a NYC
public school, the local council has
had trouble recruiting candidates in
the past. School officials try to recruit
parents during public meetings as
well as local CEC meetings in each
district.
District 18’s CEC has had a couple of vacancies over the past year –
with two parent members needed and
one seat open for English Language
Learners.
Family Advocate for Community
School District 18 Ivie Bien-Aime
said the first candidate forum was
hosted Monday night. Another one
will be held in May. During the sessions, CEC members and its executive board listened to various contributions and resources applicants
have to offer. Voting will be held
from mid-April to the beginning of
May. New board members won’t be
waiting until the 2015-2016 school
year begins to get down to business
– they’ll be joining the CEC in July
to start the process of making important educational decisions.
Before the summer begins, the
local CEC will hopefully have a
fully functioning board of parents
and educators who will promote the
achievement of educational standards, provide input on important
policies and issues and hold hearings
on capital spending. CEC board
members serve a two-year term, with
re-elections of current board members also taking place every two
years.
CEC 18 holds meetings on the
first Monday of every month at their
district office, 1106 East 95th Street,
at 7 p.m. However, due to spring break,
the council will meet on Monday,
April 13th. For more information,
call 718-566-6005.

NOT Making Light Of Things
At Bayview Houses
Residents say a Salvation Army truck struck a light pole in front of
2105 Rockaway Parkway earlier this week and left the scene after the
damage was done. Firefighters arrived at Bayview Houses to make
sure the area near the downed light was cordoned off. They removed
the broken fixture and no one was reported injured. That doesn’t
mean residents will lighten up when it comes to quality of life complaints!

Educational Concerns
Teachers and administration from various public schools came out in
full force in mid-March to protest Governor Andrew Cuomo’s educational policies. Some donned signs while marching inside of their schools
and others picketed outside buildings, demanding that Cuomo come to
the community and see what every school’s individual needs are.
Teachers and UFT representatives are most concerned with the evaluation process. Last week, teachers at P.S. 114, located at 1077 Remsen
Avenue, took an opportunity to express their discontent with Cuomo –
demanding respect and to save their school. Some signs read, “Come
out of your fantasyland and visit our school!” P.S. 114 UFT Chapter
Leader Scott Schwartz joined staff before classes on Wednesday,
March 25th, to take a stand and hopes Cuomo hears their concerns.

Follow these safe food-handling practices while
you shop.
•Carefully read food labels while in the store to
make sure food is not past its “sell by” date.
•Put raw packaged meat, poultry, or seafood into
a plastic bag before placing it in the shopping cart so
that its juices will not drip on – and contaminate –
other foods. If the meat counter does not offer plastic
bags, pick some up from the produce section before
you select your meat, poultry, and seafood.
•Buy only pasteurized milk, cheese, and other
dairy products from the refrigerated section. When
buying fruit juice from the refrigerated section of the
store, be sure that the juice label says it is pasteurized.
•Purchase eggs in the shell from the refrigerated
section of the store. For recipes that call for eggs that
are raw or undercooked, when the dish is served use
either shell eggs that have been treated to destroy Salmonella by pasteurization or pasteurized egg products. When consuming raw eggs, using pasteurized
eggs is the safer choice.
•Never buy food that is displayed in unsafe or unclean conditions.
•When purchasing canned goods, make sure that
they are free of dents, cracks, or bulging lids. (Once
you are home, remember to clean each lid before
opening the can.)
•Purchase produce that is not bruised or damaged.

Child Life Specialists Help Hospitalized Kids At Maimonides
While in the hospital, children can forget to smile
and laugh. Family life gets disrupted, and childhood
development can be affected. The Maimonides
Infants & Children's Hospital confronts these issues
head-on.
“The Child Life Specialists at Maimonides are
there for you and your child whenever you feel overwhelmed,” said Dr. Danielle Laraque, Chair of
Pediatrics at Maimonides Infants & Children’s
Hospital (MICH). “Their vital role goes hand-inhand with our family-centered care philosophy.”
March is Child Life Awareness Month, and
Maimonides annually celebrates these professionals
by highlighting the innovative work they do yearround. This year, we encourage everyone to use
social media to contribute photos and video and join
us in honoring the Child Life Specialists who
empower children and families to master the challenging events related to their healthcare.

Child Life Specialists at Maimonides provide
patients with age-appropriate preparation for medical procedures, pain management and coping strategies. In addition, the Child Life Creative Arts
Therapy & Education Program provides emotional
and social support for hospitalized children and their
families, and features art and music therapy.
“We help the patient’s siblings, too,” added Ms.
Batas. “Sometimes young family members are fearful of the hospital setting, and we help them understand what is happening in a variety of ways.”
The Child Life Creative Arts Therapy &

including bedside activities, age appropriate activities, special guests and entertainment.
March isn’t the only time when the community is
thinking about the children in the hospital. This past

$240,104 through their Spirit of Children program.
This was a whopping 30 percent more in contributions than the prior year and Maimonides was thankful to be the recipient of this donation just in time for
Child Life Month. That means while shopping for
Halloween costumes this past October, residents of
Brooklyn were even more inspired to help make the

and their families.

can be purchased in the Church office or at the door
the day of the hunt.
Each Saturday at the 8:10 A.M Mass we will celebrate the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick. Let’s have
a deeper understanding of this healing sacrament. It is
not Last Rites, at the moment of death. As Jesus ministered to the sick, so does the Church. It is for anyone
who is seriously sick. So it is intended for those with
an ongoing condition (Cancer, Sickle cell, Asthma etc.)
those who are going into hospital during the month for
an operation, elderly whose health is slipping and for
those with a mental illness like depression.

We are “The Village Church in the Big City!”
Do you ever weary of our urban environment, and
the often impersonal flavor of life in New York
City? Come and experience Christian community
in a congregation where everyone knows your
name.
We follow the traditional liturgy, with hymns and
songs both old and new. A brief children’s sermon
is offered every Sunday, along with preaching
based on the Bible readings appointed for that Sunday. Sunday school, for kids of all ages, begins
about 12:30. We proclaim and celebrate the gift of
salvation through faith in Christ alone.
We gather for worship on Sunday mornings at
11:15, at 1187 East 92nd Street in Canarsie — that’s
right off of Flatlands Avenue, between Flatlands
and Avenue J. Call Pastor Christoph Schulze at
(718) 649-1879 for information on Sunday School,
Friday night youth group, “Courageous Dads”
men’s group, Sunday and Saturday Bible studies,
and receiving God’s priceless gifts of Holy Baptism
and Holy Communion. The sanctuary is open each
Tuesday night at 7 p.m. for prayer.
Each Sunday at 9 a.m. there is a service in the
French language, led by Pastor Jean Cenat, who
shepherds our French-speaking Lutheran congregation. Please call (718) 649-1879 to leave a message for Pastor Cenat.
Saturdays at 3 p.m., “Into The Garden” (an
eleventh-step group of Alcoholics Anonymous, or
A.A.) meets downstairs in our church building. The
only requirement for membership in A.A. is a desire
to stop drinking.
Our congregation also hosts a full-time, Christian
day school: Great Commission Christian School.
The focus of our school is on forming disciples of
Jesus Christ who will be well prepared to meet the
challenges and opportunities the world will offer
them. For information on enrolling your 1st
through 6th grader, please call Mrs. Rhonda Schulters, the Principal, at (718) 257-8783.
Come, join us for worship at St. Matthew’s... and
be assured that you will receive a warm welcome at
