Every year, students, teachers and staff at P.S. 115 do their part to “celebrate” Halloween while also dressing up for a good cause – their Character Day Parade, which supports the American Cancer Society. Last Thursday, almost everyone at the East 92nd Street elementary school dressed up as a character from one of their favorite books. As is tradition, everyone marched around the schoolyard, showing off their costumes and getting in the Halloween spirit. There was even a pumpkin patch in the schoolyard, complete with scarecrows and stacks of hay. You may see and purchase more photos from the event by visiting www.canarsiecourier.com.

For the first time in about 20 years, a Democrat will be living at Gracie Mansion. Polls closed by 9 p.m. on Tuesday, November 5th. Within minutes, media outlets were comfortable enough to declare de Blasio the winner. The Park Slope resident was well ahead of the Republican in most polls. De Blasio easily crushed Lhota by an overwhelming 50 percent. De Blasio will be sworn into office in January. In other notable election news, Letitia James easily won the Public Advocate office. James, also from Brooklyn, ran in three contests during this election season. She barely missed winning the primary by the required 40 percent to avoid a runoff. On October 1st, she beat Daniel Squadron in a contest more discussed for its cost to taxpayers than the actual candidates. In case anything happens to the mayor, the advocate is next in line even though its office isn’t well funded. Longtime Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes lost a convincing race to Kenneth Thompson. Hynes originally lost the Democratic primary to Thompson on September 10th and originally pledged a smooth transition. However, Hynes, who was in office for 24 years, changed his mind and ran on the Republican and Conservative lines. Hynes’ loss is historic. It is the first time in decades a sitting District Attorney has lost. In other races: Scott Stringer is the new Comptroller. Eric Adams officially becomes the new Brooklyn Borough President replacing term-limited Marty Markowitz. Alan Maisel beat Anthony Testaverde to win the City Council seat. Lew Fidler is leaving due to term limits. There were also six proposals voters were asked to vote for. Voters approved the building of more casinos. Four will be upstate with the potential for more casinos in New York City seven years from now. Already, there is a Resorts Casino in Queens. Voters shut down the proposal to raise the age of judges. The proposal called for the age limit to be raised to 80. Currently, judges are required to retire once they reach 70. For more information on the other proposals, visit: http://www.nyccfb.info.

I have to make sure I clean everything extra carefully.” What’s worse is that her uncle Steven, who is homebound, lives with her and requires medical attention for open wounds. “He has a nurse who comes here every day and these conditions aren’t healthy for him.” She’s lived in different apartments throughout Breukelen for over 50 years but has never had to live in this kind of environment. She blames NYCHA’s overall management for ignoring tenants’ needs. “I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, spinal stenosis and I’m being treated for joint disease,” Toro said. “I plan to take Housing to court and I don’t care if I owe them back rent – let 250 Broadway come out here to see what’s going on with us!” she added, referring to the Housing agency’s headquarters in the city. As far as Toro knows, tenants living above her have leaks in their walls as well and tell her that their walls are bubbling. “Where are the contractors to do all of this work? The supervisors come in to look at the problem, tell me what needs to be done, and then no one shows up.” Piles of clothes have been stacked on top of Toro’s couch for months since she can’t keep them in her closet. “I think they should relocate me and just gut the whole apartment instead of doing patchwork.” She’s currently looking to get a transfer to the Smith Houses in Manhattan, but is also afraid of the long wait. The aggravated tenant said top Housing officials should either replace their current administration or continued on page 28 Above photos show moldy closets, cracked walls and decaying paint that Housing maintenance has yet to repair.

Canarsie Courier November 7, 2013 5 Captain Grandstaff Takes The Helm At The 69th Precinct Photo and text by Dara Mormile If there’s one man you’re going to be glad to see hitting the streets of Canarsie – it’s Captain Norman Grandstaff, the new commanding officer of the 69th Precinct. Although Grandstaff only started last week, he knows he’s ready to serve the community and looks forward to maintaining a close relationship with those who influence change. “I want to be everywhere I can be,” Grandstaff recently told the Canarsie Courier. “I want to meet with all of the key leaders in Canarsie and try to be at every event. It’s important I make myself visible so residents know I’m open to them and that I’m available to tend to their concerns. I don’t want them to have to wait until the next Community Council meeting to speak to me – they can come into the precinct any time and bring their problems to me.” The Staten Island native always knew he wanted to be a police officer and help people. He’s been on the force for 15 years and began his career at the 15th Precinct in Manhattan, where he was stationed for two years. Afterward, he served precincts throughout Brooklyn such as the 90th Precinct in Williamsburg, the 79th Precinct in Bedford Stuyvesant and most recently the 75th Precinct in East New York. “The 75th Precinct is one of the busiest and biggest precincts in Brooklyn, so coming to the 69th Precinct is a nice change,” he said. “Here, I can focus a little more and follow up on crimes.” Captain Grandstaff said the most diverse community he’s worked in was the 70th Precinct in the Midwood area. “I was there for four and a half years and saw so many different cultures and backgrounds – but everyone wants the same thing – to feel safe in their community and to know that the police are looking out for them,” the captain said. One of the crimes he said that needs to be tackled in the 69th Precinct is rooftop burglaries wherein thieves break into the roof of an establishment and steal money or break into an ATM. “These burglaries have been happening along Flatlands Avenue and if we have to bolster different platoons, it’s critical to meet with supervisors and make changes.” When Grandstaff isn’t on the job, he enjoys spending time with his family. He has three children and coaches his son’s basketball team. “That’s the one thing I enjoy the most when I’m home.” The love of law enforcement also runs in his family, as he has four brothers – and three are police officers. “It’s not so much a competition – we learn from each other,” he said with a laugh. Grandstaff precedes Deputy Inspector George Fitzgibbon, who was the commanding officer at the Canarsie precinct for over two years. “I would like to thank Deputy Inspector George Fitzgibbon for leaving the command in good shape Captain Norman Grandstaff and for helping me with this transition,” he said. “I also want to thank Roxanne Persaud, president of the 69th Precinct Community Council – she’s been very warm towards me and I look forward to working with her and the rest of the council.” Fitzgibbon formally introduced the new captain at the October Community Council meeting, during which time Grandstaff welcomed input from everyone. Parents To DOE: Not Everyone Wants A Slice of The Pie! Photo and text by Dara Mormile Who doesn’t love a good old-fashioned pizza party? That delicious mozzarella cheese layered on top of tomato sauce and fresh bread... If you ask members of the Community Education Council (CEC), and a large percentage of parents, their kids are NOT happy with “Pizza Fridays,” which is designated by the Department of Education (DOE) and School Food & Nutrition Services. “It’s horrible!” one board member said. “My kids don’t like it and I don’t know who’s asking what these students actually eat.” At the October meeting of CEC 18, which took place Monday evening, audience members sounded off to Keith Graham, School Food & Nutrition Services representative, about their dissatisfaction with the pizza that’s served to their children. School pizza is not made with your average ingredients, said Graham. “The pizza we serve has a quarter of the sodium and fat that regular pizza has – and we have to follow dietary guidelines when making these foods,” he told the crowd. “However, there’s a high demand for Pizza Fridays. The food we serve has to meet an 80 percent approval rating and most of our students surveyed say they like the pizza.” Parents mumbled under their breath, saying most kids throw away the tasteless pizza they’re given – which can’t be accounted for in any city survey. Graham said that once the slice makes it onto a tray, it’s counted as a “choice” the student has made for their lunch. School Food & Nutrition Services representative Keith Graham. “The only other thing they can choose from on Fridays is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich – of course they’re going to pick the pizza, but I’m not hearing anything good about it,” another board member said. Some were also upset that the fruit given to their children, such as pears, is hard and cold – and nearly inedible. Graham noted that, regardless of which fruit a student takes, all of the nutritional food groups has to be present on their tray before they leave the lunchroom. “We’re also working on putting more salad bars in schools where there’s room for them. Also, our aim this year is to use products without any high fructose corn syrup,” he said. “The only problem is that it’s hard to find things like ketchup and jelly without corn syrup that’s cost effective to our agency.” In addition, the School Food & Nutrition Services is going to increase students’ access to water. “We have water jet machines that we’re looking to install in various schools – they’re more sanitary than water fountains.” Another speaker at the CEC meeting was the DOE’s Nick Farrell, who formally introduced the new kindergarten enrollment application method. “This new streamlined process for 2014 will help parents pick the right kindergarten program for their child and make the whole experience easier,” he said. In the past, families were required to apply in person and submit paperwork to each school of interest. As a result, some students received multiple offers while others received no offers until the end of the school year. “Now, families only have to submit one application,” he said. The new application process begins in January and allows families to go online to apply for a kindergarten program. There are three ways to apply: •Online, using Kindergarten Connect at www.nyc.gov/schools/kindergarten •In person at an enrollment office (from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday) and •Over the phone by calling 718935-2400 (from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday) Kindergarten Connect makes schools in all 32 districts across the city accessible to parents and priority is given to students for their zoned schools as well as those who already have a sibling going to that public school. “While most parents will receive an offer from their child’s zoned school, the new application process helps them explore their options,” said the representative. The timeline for the 2014 kindergarten admissions is as follows: •From October through December, before the application period, families should learn about their zoned schools, sign up for Gifted and Talented testing, if interested, and review information about their options. •From January through February, during the application period, families should go to school tours and open houses and then apply online, over the phone or at an enrollment office. •Finally, from April through June, after offers go out, families should pre-register at the school and provide the child’s documentation and if a school is able to offer the parent’s child a seat from the waiting list, they will be contacted directly. “There are as many as 20 program choices and if you don’t know what your child’s zoned school is, you can go to the DOE’s web site and put in your address to find out,” Farrell said. While junior high school and high school applications are based on academics, placement for kindergarteners is governed by the administrative process and some may be chosen through a random lottery. “We conducted a pilot program earlier this year and this process worked,” he told the crowd. The next CEC meeting will take place on Monday, December 2nd from 7 to 9 p.m. at 1106 East 95th Street. For more information, call 718-5666011. November 7, 2013 Canarsie Courier 6 I’m Fed Up With The Feds And Their Treatment Of The Pier despite Gateway National Recreation Area (the feder- were probably convinced that Sandy had her way with agency who operates the site) refusing to make the the building – so it took a natural disaster for them to Telling It alparcel of land more attractive to visitors. The feds – do what thousands were requesting for years!). make a dinky spot in our community attractive? Second, Gateway's ownership of the site makes it Like It Is Please... nearly impossible to go through the red tape so that By Dara Mormile E veryone has memories of that one hangout spot from when they were a child. Whether it's a community park, someone's stoop or backyard, or a street corner where everyone met up and “chilled out.” For some residents in Canarsie, the pier was one of those hangout spots – and it still might be...Okay, it’s not quite the way it was back in the day, but plenty of fisherman still call Canarsie Pier their second home. During my recent trips down there, a decent amount of bike riders made the pier a rest stop. The pier sees a lot of traffic and it's not abandoned – Protect Your Vision Prompt And Professional Eyecare To The Entire Family BOARD CERTIFIED EYE SURGEONS • State Of The Art No Stitch Cataract Surgery • • Glacoma Surgery • Neuro Ophthalmology • Diabetes • • Laser Surgery • Eyelid Surgery MAJOR INSURANCE ACCEPTED SILVIA PAGANELLI - D’AMBROSIO, M.D. 1452 East 98th Street, Corner of Avenue M 718-531-0055 What impressed me last week was that Gateway FINALLY demolished the old Abbracciamento building that was crumbling to nothingness. Our community was begging and pleading, with whoever they could, to have the dilapidated building torn down. I remember when the restaurant was open and there was a real community feel to the pier – there were boats stationed at a dock and families would gather for a day near the water. The feeling was just different even though the railings were old and wooden and so were the benches. Now, when I go to the pier, there are foundational improvements that need to be made despite the “modern” benches and barriers put there by Gateway years ago. One of the things that bothers me personally about being at the pier is not being able to sit in peace and quiet. Yeah, I get it – it's a public place and it's not supposed to be quiet. But why do complete strangers feel the need to sit next to me and talk to me when I'm trying to GET AWAY from everything? Also, there are obnoxious visitors who blast their car stereos in the parking lot as if they're making the pier their own personal “club.” This brings me to the next challenge: now that Gateway tore down the unsightly “memory” that was once part of Canarsie's history, what can be put in that space that will be appreciated by passersby as well as the handful of 'obnoxious' visitors? What will accommodate the masses? First of all, if it wasn't for Hurricane Sandy, Canarsie Pier wouldn't have received the funds needed to demolish the abandoned restaurant (the feds something sensible can be put at the pier. How discouraging does this sound: You have to have A LOT of money to lease federal property and whatever is placed at the site has to follow Gateway's recreational guidelines, which means your business has to be one of “recreational nature.” You can have a food vendor or concessionaire with this “recreational business” but it all starts with applying for an RFP – a Request For Proposal. The RFP will outline the nature of your business, which probably won't even fit in the small space that's now flattened concrete. Let's get real! The federal government will probably make it next to impossible for someone like you or me to invest in and lease their property. How much will it cost to build and maintain something on federal land? Of course it will all depend on how big the facility is and I can't imagine what would fit on that small parcel of land. Is Gateway making it difficult to lease that land, or are interested parties thinking it’s not worth investing money in a waterfront location where the visitors aren’t always courteous? I think the feds need to open their options for what can be put at the pier. Most people want something simple and food-oriented there, but Gateway won't easily allow for a sandwich or coffee shop to set up in the small space. Come on – some of us don't want to go to Rockaway Parkway to hunt for a snack! Shame on Gateway, I say, for making it so difficult to bring a quality business to one of our favorite hangout spots. Now, most of our pier memories, as well as our childrens', will be an empty space. Thanks Gateway!

Or, in the case of a controversial women’s shelter, the owner of the land agrees to sit down with community stakeholders postponing a protest at the eleventh hour. The protest was scheduled to begin at Glenwood Road and Schenectady Avenue and a bus was going to shuttle protestors to the Avenue J residence of Ayal Horovitz on Sunday, November 3rd. Horovitz is listed as the owner of the property at 4612 Glenwood Road – the site of the Women’s In Need (WIN) shelter. However, the protest was called off early Sunday morning after all parties agreed to a meeting. Local resident and activist, Troy Thompson said, “Sitting down with Mr. Horovitz, WIN, DHS (Department of Homeless Services), property owners and City Councilman Jumaane Williams to discuss options related to this proposed shelter is what we’ve wanted all along.” He continued, “We will call off this protest and sit down with Mr. Horovitz to negotiate, but everyone must do so in good faith.” At stake is the multi-million dollar MONUMENTS & INSCRIPTIONS project that is supposed to house more than 180 families in a fourstory building. Construction on the site began months ago but has not been without its share of controversy. The Department of Buildings has issued several stop work orders but each time, the owner either paid fines or reconciled concerns to resume construction. Residents have logged numerous complaints with 311 due to the noise and dust that accompanied the construction. Councilman Williams said, “We are pleased that Mr. Horovitz has chosen to take this step. From the beginning, I have been clear about the need to sit down and discuss the details of the shelter, as it is out of size and scope for the neighborhood.” The site has seen its fair share of protests. In August, residents felt they were left out of the planning process and weren’t informed. (Canarsie Courier, “Flatlands Area Women’s Shelter Gets Big Thumbs Down,” August 15, 2013). The project is an “As of Right” endeavor meaning developers do not have to take suggestions from the public during the planning and buildContinued on page 28 When Only The Best Is Good Enough For Your Loved Ones: Canarsie, Evergreen, Cypress Hills, Holy Cross & Springfield Cemeteries ALL BROOKLYN, QUEENS, L.I. & N.J.

Some that are still standing suffered root damage caused by salt water and sewage when the storm surge flooded our streets just over one year ago. To beautify our area, Project Hope, Visiting Nurse Service of New York and the Canarsie Recovery Coalition hosted a tree giveaway last Sunday outside Holy Family Church, located at 9719 Flatlands Avenue. The event was hosted in conjunction with the New York Restoration Project and the Million TreesNYC initiative. It provided over 100 free trees to Canarsiens, who had their choice of four trees: Sweetbay Magnolia, American Hornbeam, Serviceberry or Hackberry trees. A total of 50 events will be hosted this fall. Tree recipients must plant their tree in one of the five boroughs and NOT along streets, city parks, in containers, terraces, balconies or on roofs. They can be planted on residential lawns, commercial properties, community gardens or around faithbased centers. Wherever the new tree owners plant their trees, it’s sure to make our community greener and the more trees that grow in Brooklyn, the better! Leanne Evelyn shows off her new tree.

Rogers Captain Martin “Marty” Nessel was a longtime resident of Little Old Canarsie. He lived with his wife, Louise, and son James at 1107 East 92nd Street. At Canarsie Pier he was known as “Old Rubber Legs.” In 1968, Captain Marty wrote for the Canarsie Courier’s “Little Old Canarsie.” He described what life was like when the Canarsie port was home to over 50 commercial fishing boats. In “Little Old Canarsie” published on August 28, 1968, he wrote, “When people start to write about Little Old Canarsie, they tell about the great fishing off the waters of Canarsie.” One of the grand commercial fishing boats to sail out of Canarsie was the Zoraya, which was owned by Frank and Helen McAvoy. Before the Depression of the 1930s, the Zoraya was a private yacht moored off of the resort town of Breezy Point. When the owners were forced to let her go, the McAvoys converted her into a commercial fishing boat. During the first half of the 20th century, Canarsie was home port to the finest fishing boats of the day such as: The Fidus, Ocean City, Wildwood, Rose B, Tambo, Pioneer, Al John, Water Island, Lillian P and other oyster, clam and party fishing boats. When I was a young boy, in the 1960’s, old timers at the pier still talked about The Nancy B. She was built in 1910 and was owned and piloted by Captain Charles Burton. At times, it was a ferry to Breezy Point, a commercial fishing boat, a party boat and, during World War I, was commissioned by the Coast Guard to patrol the waters of southeast Brooklyn. In 1925, she was relocated to Manhattan and then to Sheepshead Bay. In Beth Israel’s Chaim Bernstein, MD, Honored Chaim J. Bernstein, MD, FCCP, (center) was recently honored by Beth Israel Brooklyn. His family joined him in accepting the prestigious 2013 Wholeness of Life Award.

Nagler, MD, Rev. Paul Rickert, HCC Rep Jess Geevarhese and Rabbi Jacob Hoenig. Photo courtesy of Beth Israel Brooklyn the 1960’s, she was still operating and was the most successful party boat to sail out of Brooklyn. I recall summer days as a young boy at the pier listening to Captain Marty and others, as they called themselves, “Old Cronies.” They told stories about when Canarsie was the finest fishing port on the East Coast. They told of the hard-working fishermen of Canarsie like John Hitcher, who at the time was operating a rowboat concession on the west side of the pier. Captain Marty and his old cronies might have been getting on in age but their memories of Izzy Bauman, captain of the Elaine B, and the crew of the Fidus - “Dutch” Otto, Walter Rainier, Carl Derring, Charles Rouch - and the other crews who sailed out of Canarsie were as clear as the waters when they were at the helm. In 1968, when Captain Marty wrote in the Canarsie Courier, Conrad Rank was still operating the White Eagle and John Bonsignor piloted the Old Pal out of Canarsie Pier. Those two boats were the last to sail from Canarsie. Captain Marty and his fellow old cronies knew that an era was coming to an end. In his last column, Captain Marty wrote, “I may have spelled some names incorrectly but it is still all about Little Old Canarsie.” Generations come and go and they look back to their time as the “good old days.” The days of Captain Marty were great days for Canarsie, but there were problems such as the Great Depression and a growing pollution in Jamaica Bay that eventually put an end to the fishing industry in Canarsie. Each generation has had its glory days and times of despair. There is no reason not to believe that great days are still ahead for Little Old Canarsie. 16 Canarsie Courier November 7, 2013 Canarsie Resident Goes The Distance For NYC ING Marathon Photos and text by Dara Mormile “Running is a victory – and it’s pure elation,” said East 92nd Street resident Jonathan Eustache. “When I run, it takes me to a place where I can be by myself in my own space – and that’s one of the most rewarding parts of training.” Eustache, 42, worked and trained hard over the past few months so he could complete the NYC ING Marathon last Sunday. But the race was about more than just feeling the rush of running. The athlete is also hoping to raise awareness and help support the rebuilding efforts in his native Haiti, which was devastated by an earthquake in 2010. While working in collaboration with the grassroots organization Community2Community, he hopes the support he received through the marathon will assist with developments that are still underway. He visited Haiti last year, which further motivated him to run for the cause. He’s lived in Canarsie for almost 13 years but as a youngster, he attended basic school in Haiti. Then, he and his family moved to Brooklyn and they resided in East Flatbush. Eustache attended Tilden High School, John Jay College and then St. Francis College before going into the military. “In the military, we had to run two miles a day for eight weeks,” he said. “When I came home, I thought I naturally had to stop running. I loved playing ball and I’m a big sports fanatic, but it was only after I suffered a back injury that I started running again.” He attributed his back ailment to wear and tear, but, after trying acupuncture and pain killers, there was one solution he decided to try: run it off. “I was told to either have back surgery or lose weight, so I started running again a couple of years ago and I noticed a big difference in how I felt mentally and physically. I even lost 45 pounds in four months,” Eustache said. Since he is a competitor at heart, he’s been running mini-marathons throughout the city and New Jersey as often as he can. Small marathons, he said, helped him build up his strength and stamina for the NYC ING Marathon. Running the 10-mile stretch along the Belt Parkway – from Canarsie Pier to Plumb Beach and all the way to Cross Bay Boulevard helped him prepare for the marathon. He woke up every morning at about 6 to start his running routine and stretched for about 20 to 25 minutes. The week before the marathon, he took off from work to go full force and prepare his body for the ultimate test. “I’m a full time 911 operator, working citywide, so it’s very stressful and I needed a full week to focus on training.” His goal for the NYC ING Marathon was to complete the stretch in four hours, but he won’t get his final time results for another couple of weeks. He said he felt ecstatic when he was finished with the race even though he had a blister on his foot midrace. “Running is a lifestyle now,” said Eustache, who also chose to be a vegetarian three years ago as part of his health regimen. His advice to others who want to go the distance is to be motivated. “I meet guys who are in their 20s and I tell them it’s a lot of hard work and it takes time to build yourself up for a marathon.” Eustache proudly shows off a sweatshirt designed to support the cause for his native Haiti.

Canarsie Courier 18 November 7, 2013 Do Or Die Chiefs Fight Their Way Into Playoffs With Win Over Midwood By Jerry Del Priore Canarsie’s regular season came down to the final game. If the Chiefs beat Midwood, they would secure a playoff spot. If not, it would be another long offseason for the once storied football program. So no one could blame head coach Kyle Allen, who endured an arduous first year at the helm in 2012, the rest of the team and fans alike for wildly celebrating after outlasting the Hornets, 22-16, Friday night at Aviator Field in Brooklyn. As for the elated Allen, he feels making the postseason is Canarsie’s chance to restart and make some noise the rest of the way. “I feel great for the kids, I feel great for the program,” Allen said. “Now we’re here. We didn’t quit, we didn’t back down. The season starts over. We get to press reset. Everybody’s 0-0; anything can happen.” The Chiefs (4-5) jumped out to an 8-0 lead on a 41-yard touchdown run by Ramshar Clarke. But Midwood respond- ed by returning the ensuing kickoff to tie contest at 8. Junior Kamari Jones Hunter’s power running helped Canarsie reclaim its advantage at 16-8 in the second quarter. Clarke, who rushed for 91 yards on 13 carries, punched in his second TD of the tilt on a 19-yard score to increase the Chiefs’ lead to 22-8 with 1:28 left in the third period. But the Hornets (5-4) would not go quietly as they grinded out a touchdown to slice the deficit to 22-16 with 3:50 remaining in the game. After a quick four and out, the Chiefs punted the ball to Midwood’s 12-yard with a little more than two minutes to go. Much to the Hornets dismay, however, they had already burned all their timeouts, and Canarsie’s defense was able to hold on for the triumph and assure a playoff berth as time ticked away on the clock. Senior Justice Scott led the Chiefs’ defense with 13 tackles while Clarke and Jones Hunter contributed 12 and nine, respectively, with a sack apiece. Glenville Bell (four tackles and a sack) and Jones Hunter are among the PSAL’s best defenders, Allen noted. Though he wholeheartedly believes the talented players are grossly underrated by the rest of the league, the second-year coach feels they’re invaluable assets, performing a great deal of the heavy lifting for Canarsie, especially when it matters most. “He’s (Jones Hunter) a hell of a player. He’s second in the city in sacks. Glenville Bell is leading the city in sacks,” he said of his stars. “And these kids don’t get enough credit. They’re monsters in the trenches.” The victory garnered Canarsie the fourteenth seed and a first playoff matchup against number 3 Tottenville on Saturday, November 9th at noon in Staten Island.

Local FDNY firefighters and paramedics responded to the scene after a call was placed to 911 stating that one of the residents was unconscious. FDNY EMS supervisors checked the meter readings at the private residence and found that the carbon monoxide levels were excessively high – registering at over 500 ppm (parts per million). Nine ppm is considered a hazardous environment. The two civilians, who were taken to area hospitals, were in serious condition with non-threatening injuries and two firefighters had minor injuries. As New Yorkers turned back their clocks last weekend, the New York City Departments of Health and Environmental Protection (DEP) reminded citizens to change the batteries in their carbon monoxide and smoke detectors to help protect themselves from carbon monoxide, an odorless, poisonous gas that can cause serious illness and death. Exposure to carbon monoxide can happen year round, but the risk for carbon monoxide poisoning increases during the heating season (October 1st to May 31st), when people begin using home heating systems. During this time of year, there’s a greater chance of a heating system malfunction that could November 7, 2013 Canarsie Courier East 98th Street home where high carbon monoxide levels were detected. release carbon monoxide into a home, or residents may decide to use stoves or other unsafe heating sources to stay warm. According to Dr. Thomas Farley, New York City Health Commissioner, “Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning include headaches, nausea, and sleepiness. If carbon monoxide levels are high enough, it can kill.” As the weather gets colder, the DEP recommends that New Yorkers have their heating systems inspected by a professional to ensure they are operating properly. For more information on carbon monoxide, call 311 or visit www.nyc.gov. HA PP Y 6TH BI RTH D A Y to a special little boy, Michael Blynn, who will be celebrating his day on Tuesday, November 12, 2013.

However, October 31st – Halloween - was not an ordinary Thursday afternoon. That’s because the Avenue L business owners and 1Youth At A Time Inc. transformed the shopping strip into a “Nightmare on L Street.” There were monsters, princesses and even a Nicky Minaj sighting. Spiderman was spotted emerging from one of the delis. One of the biggest “problems” of the afternoon was when the Joker came out of a crowded grocery store while Batman was waiting right outside! There weren’t any incidents, but at April’s Dance-N-Feet, the owner April and dance instructors Unysha Jones and Ashley Coldros were not taking any chances. They thought it would be a good idea to teach everyone how to perform Michael Jackson’s Thriller just in case any other strange characters were seen walking along Avenue L.

The original police station was in Willett’s Hotel (originally Lehman’s Hotel), located on the northwest corner of Conklin Avenue and East 95th Street (which later became the site of the Knights of Columbus Hall, which present-day Canarsiens may recall). In 1894, a wood stationhouse was built to replace the temporary police station in Willett’s Hotel. That building was located on Glenwood NOW 3 1 20 Road between East 94th and East 95th Streets. Not far from the police station – on Glenwood Road about 150 feet east of East 92nd Street - was a horse stable belonging to the 166th Mounted Squad of the NYPD. It’s unclear when the 69th precinct’s stable closed but we know by 1960, it was no longer in use and by the mid 80s, the building was torn down. Today, the old horse barn is now occupied by a three-story brick residential building. Compiled by Linda Steinmuller November 7, 2013 ? Compiled by Bill O’Neill Question: In an effort to snuff out smoking at a young age, the New York City Council voted to hike the legal age for buying cigarettes to 21 years old. Do you think this will help curtail teen smoking? Why or Why not? “No, it won’t. If someone wants something, they will get it. Cigarettes are already high priced. People still buy them. The price of an item - or the age required to purchase an item - will not discourage people from buying that item. The teens will still get the cigarettes.” Tia B., Canarsie “It won’t curtail teen smoking. Because of peer pressure, kids get involved with a lot of things that are not good for themsmoking, drugs, drinking and street violence. To curtail teen smoking, you have to go much deeper than raising the age to 21. You have to insure that kids have strong parental guidance at home which steers them away from teen smoking.” Fauanaude Matthews, Spring Creek “No, it won’t help. As long as there are people willing to buy cigarettes for them, they will get the cigarettes. And store owners don’t even proof the kids. I’ve seen it. Plus, you can buy loose cigarettes on the street for fifty cents.” Doreen Willis, “If we raise the age, there will be less smoking in general. And less people will be interested in smoking. So yes, it will curtail teen smoking a little bit.” David J., Canarsie 6/13/13 November 7, 2013 Canarsie Courier 25 Raven Kids Show Off Their Halloween Costumes Photos and text by Linda Steinmuller Children from the Raven’s School, located at 1102 East 92nd Street, celebrated Halloween by dressing up in a variety of colorful costumes. The kids, excited to show off their outfits, paraded around the block wearing everything from Superhero costumes, like Superman, Batman and Spiderman to other popular characters such as Thomas the Train and Minnie Mouse. The staff at the Raven School said it’s their way of showing the children how to safely enjoy the holiday. You may see and purchase more photos from the event by visiting www.canarsiecourier.com. Just click on the blue button. Scaring Up Fun At Four Seasons In the spirit of Halloween, the staff at Four Seasons Nursing & Rehabilitation Center dressed up in various costumes and provided the residents with their very own “Halloween Costume Parade.” Staff from the Nursing, Rehab and Recreation Department went to the units handing out candy, providing music and putting smiles on the residents faces. A good time was had by all! Later on in the afternoon, residents, family members and staff were treated to a “Halloween themed” musical entertain- ment and costume contest. Residents were able to sing along and tap their feet to familiar tunes and get a chance to judge the best costume worn by staff and guests. Music was provided by Michael Harley and Jennifer. Thanks to all the staff, volunteers and family members who dressed up for the events, made it a success and put smiles on the faces of residents. The Halloween Parade and Costume Party was coordinated by the Recreation Department.

The worst storm in the city’s history destroyed homes, cars, trees and businesses. Discussions about the superstorm often revolve around the physical aspect of the devastation – how much water flooded your basement or the personal possessions you may have lost. But the hurricane also took an emotional and spiritual toll on those who suffered the traumatic events of October 29, 2012. To help with the emotional distress caused by Sandy, Project Hope and Visiting Nurse Service of New York hosted “Stitches of our Success” at the Gerritsen Beach branch of the Brooklyn Public Library last week – a day after the one-year anniversary of the hurricane. Gerritsen Beach resident Gina Wasson attended the event with her two daughters and said, “The program was great. It really makes you feel better and it’s great to have an ear to listen.” All ages benefitted from “Stitches of our Success,” from children as young as four-year-old Jamie Wasson to teenagers and adults. Miranda Gescheit, an 11th grade student at Edward R. Murrow High School, said the storm brought the community much closer together and that the volunteer fire department worked hard with rescue efforts when the storm struck. Project Hope crisis counselors invited participants to draw pictures and write a poem or a story to reflect their experiences with Sandy. Each attendee was given a cuddly teddy bear to take home with them. Once everyone’s personal mural was com- pleted, they were stitched together on a giant quilt that is on display in the library. Project Hope has been an integral part of the healing process since the storm hit Gerritsen Beach. The organization offers support, information and resource linkage to help survivors with their recovery. Their services are free of charge. According to Project Hope, people handle stressful events differently. Stress reactions can appear immediately after a traumatic event or may not appear for weeks or even months later - Recovery doesn’t wear a watch. If you would like to talk about lingering reactions to Hurricane Sandy, call Project Hope at 718-8886950 or 1-800-LIFENET, a free confidential helpline for New York City residents, available 24/7.

Just last week, the Daily News reported that a single mother of three has lived without hot water in her East Harlem building for two years. According to the Daily News, Manhattan Housing Court Judge Phyllis Saxe found NYCHA “in contempt of court and fined it $19,205” for making the resident and children struggle without hot water. Unfortunately, Toro is another victim of NYCHA’s inability to finance and complete critical repairs.
