Suspects Arrested In Off-Duty Cop Robbery
By Dara Mormile
Three men were arrested last week
after they stole an off-duty cop's purse
and tried to get away in a stolen yellow cab.
According to the District Attorney’s
office, 22-year-old Patrick James, 17year-old Christop White and 17-yearold Travaugh Nourine, all Brooklyn
residents, were charged with multiple
offenses last week after robbing an
off-duty cop at gunpoint shortly after
5 a.m. on Thursday, November 21st.
The thieves' mischief began at a 711 store on Ralph Avenue that Thursday
morning. The driver of the taxi told
police that he'd parked his car outside
of the 7-11 and left his keys inside with
the car running. When he exited the
store, he noticed the vehicle was missing. He called police, who responded
to the scene and tried to track down
the taxi.
Not too long after the taxi went
missing, three suspects reportedly parked
a yellow cab, bearing the same license
plates as the one stolen, in front of 556
East 99th Street. An off-duty police
officer, who resides on the block, was
getting into her car when she noticed
the three men walking nearby. She got
into her car safely, but a few minutes
later Nourine reportedly approached
the driver's side and displayed a hand-
gun. One of the other suspects stood
at the passenger's side of her car and
the third man stood across the street.
Officials said Nourine knocked on
the driver's side window with the handgun and demanded she get out of her
car. When she identified herself as a
police officer, Nourine was quoted as
having said he “didn't give a f**k” and
opened the door, during which time he
and the other suspects pulled her from
the front seat and shoved her into the
back seat, still threatening her with the
weapon. The officer managed to run from
her car, during which time Nourine
pointed the gun at her again and tried
to fire in her direction, but were un-
successful.
The thieves then stole the police
officer[s handbag, which had her NYPD
identification card inside, and then
got back into the taxi - which they
drove to Newport Street and Van Sinderen Avenue in East New York. Hours
later, the stolen taxi was recovered and
police found the officer’s belongings
inside.
The off-duty cop was unharmed
during the incident but told officials
that Nourine attempted to fire his gun
at her, but “the gun was not working.”
Some of the charges the trio face
include grand larceny, attempted murder and robbery.
Residents “PACC” The Room For Information Night
Photos and text by Dara Mormile
With all of the agencies available to
help homeowners following Hurricane
Sandy, it can be overwhelming and
frustrating to filter out your individual
needs. Pratt Area Community Council
(PACC), an agency which has served
as a community development organization, officially launched in Canarsie
and held a special session last Thursday
evening, giving residents a central place
to address their concerns.
Hundreds filed into the Hebrew
Educational Society for the information
session. A panel discussion allowed those
in attendance to ask about their rights
as tenants and homeowners. Although
it’s been a year since Sandy destroyed
many homes in Canarsie – mainly
basements – many are reportedly still
struggling to have repairs completed
as they pay rent and mortgages.
“When it comes to insurance companies covering damages to ones basement,” said Elizabeth Malone, Insurance
expert with Neighborhood Housing Services, “most flood policies do not cover
the damages.”
“Technicially, you’re not supposed
to have an operating basement in a flood
zone area, but the homes impacted in
Canarsie weren’t included in the flood
zone to begin with,” she said. “In addition, the homes that were hit extended
beyond the initial flood plane maps from
years ago.”
Panelists answered other questions
about foreclosure and maintaining financial security while rebuilding.
According to PACC’s Executive
Director Deborah Howard, there is still
a need in Canarsie for crisis intervention. Legal services, loan modification
programs and counseling is still in high
demand for those who don’t want to
lose their homes.
Representatives from agencies, including the Department of Finance, South
Brooklyn Legal Services, Parodneck
Foundation, Neighborhood Housing
Services and the Canarsie Recovery
Coalition, were on hand to take questions about rebuilding.
PACC will be hosting a wide range
of workshops and seminars available to
Canarsiens as well as personal counseling sessions that will help homeowners
and tenants move forward and prepare
for future disasters.
The organization was formed in 1964
by Brooklyn residents and their activism
initially led to new parks, community
gardens, libraries and homes where
abandoned buildings once stood. PACC’s
Panelists from different agencies take questions from the audience.
Housing Committee was established
in 1970, creating innovative ways to
save deteriorating housing stock.
They’re efforts are funded through the
New York State Attorney General
Homeownership Protection Program
and the forum was made possible by a
grant to PACC from the NYC Housing
and Neighborhood Recovery Donor
Collaborative.

Ave. L Merchants Association President Calls It Quits
The following letter was released to
the community last week on behalf of
activist and Avenue L Merchants’
Association President Mercedes Narcisse.
Below is the letter verbatim, in its
entirety, and it has not been altered in
any way, shape or form.
Dear Residents/Merchants:
I first want to thank all of you for
supporting my campaign for the New
York City Council. Although the result
was not what we worked so hard for, I
accept the will of the people.
However, your vote and support was
a serious positive development in my
political life since I now have your strong
backing to make sure that your interests
are met and that campaign promises
made to you are kept.
I’m not going away. And while I
publicly pledge to work with City Councilmember Alan Maisel in the interests
of our community, I intend to hold him
accountable to us and keep his feet to
the fire so that he delivers for ALL of
the people of the 46th District.
In this regard, I will continue to
articulate and work on various key issues
that are important to our community.
BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT (BID) in the Avenue L to Rockaway Parkway catchment area. This will
help boost the local economy and create
jobs.
As a small business owner, I will
continue to mobilize and organize this
vital backbone of our local economy
and community. It is my hope that
Councilmember Maisel will use his influence at the New York City Council
to pass the “Small Business Survival
Jobs Act” that has languished at the
City Council for over five years now.
Alternate the Bus Route of B-17, B103 and B-42 to Avenue L for visibility
and exposure of our commercial strip.
Horizontal Parking to increase space
availability to our customers.
The Beautification Proposal for Avenue L – better lighting on the strip, all
covered garbage cans with our logo,
benches with our strip logo and large
planters with seasonal flowers.
I will also continue my fight to bring
a “Gifted and Talented School” to the
district so that we improve the quality
of education for our children. I am
heartened by the fact that Mayor-elect
Bill de Blasio has stated that he will
impose a moratorium on school closing
and get rid of the biased letter rating
system.
I CALL ON ALL PARENTS IN THE
DISTRICT TO SUPPORT OUR NEW
MAYOR IN THIS REGARD.
That said, I am concerned by the fact
that the Avenue L Merchants Association of which I am the President, is
being undermined and usurped by the
creation of a new merchants organiza-
Mercedes Narcisse
tion reportedly at the behest of the new
councilmember and Mr. Frank Saddio
(sic), the Kings County Democratic Party
Chairman (sic).
The word on the street is that this is
being done because the association is
tainted by a manufactured money
scandal. This is patently untrue. This
fictional excuse is designed to gut the
present association for partisan political reasons and set up a bastard organization that will be controlled by its
two fathers.
LET ME BE PERFECTLY CLEAR.
While I completely condemn this kind
of game-playing and infantile political
behavior, if I am the reason for this
splintering and killing of an organization
in existence for over 60 years, then I
will not be the obstacle.
Therefore, as of December 1, 2013,
I will effectively resign my position as
President of the Avenue L Merchants
Association. I will not be drawn into or
be part of any childish gamesmanship
for politics’ sake. I want to see solutions
and progress and I will not stand in the
way of same.
Once again, I thank all of the residents of the 46th District for their kind
words, prayers, and support. We lost a
battle but not the war. I am far better
for the experience and I am not going
away anytime soon.
Let us continue to work together to
bring real change and development to
our community and for the sake of our
children. If you have any concerns or
questions that you would like me to
ask or seek answers to on your behalf,
you have only to call or email me.
LET US CONTINUE TO PUT OUR
CHILDREN AND FAMILIES FIRST.
TOGETHER WE STAND!
Happy Holiday to you all!
God Bless!
Sincerely,
Mercedes Narcisse
Knockout Game No Laughing Matter
By Sam Akhtar
The knockout game - where suspects sucker punch victims in the face
hoping to knock them out with one
punch - is apparently hitting closer to
Canarsie. A 72-year-old woman appears
to be the latest victim of the heinous
game.
On Monday, the senior citizen was
completing her errands near Flatlands
and Pennsylvania avenues when she
was allegedly punched by a young thug.
The victim, who is reportedly Jewish,
was walking from her Starrett City
residence around noon when the latest
attack took place. Rabbi Avrohom Hecht,
Executive Director of the Jewish Community Council of Canarsie, said he
helped the victim shortly after the attack.
“We gave her ice and called 911,”
Hecht told the Canarsie Courier. He
said the victim was struck on the topside of her head. According to Hecht,
seniors are now “terrified” to go outside fearing they may be the latest victims of the knockout game. “The elderly deserve to be respected and treated with dignity,” he said. The victim
was taken to Brookdale Hospital with
minor bruising to the head.
When asked what kind of communications he had with the police, Hecht
said, “We didn’t prior to this attack,
but we are pleased about the strong
response from the 75th Precinct since.”
According to the NYPD, the suspect is

On Monday, November 25th, Congressman Hakeem Jeffries and Brooklyn Borough-elect President Eric Adams,
denounced the violence during a press
conference at the Crown Heights Youth
Collective. “Random acts of violence,
particularly when targeted at people on
the basis of race or religion, will not be
tolerated,” said Jeffries. “If you violently participate in the knockout game,
we will do everything in our power to
make sure that the criminal justice system is there to knockout socially unacceptable behavior,” he said.
Adams, a former police officer himself, said, “To these gutless offenders
we say loud and clear: play this game,

Brooklyn District Attorney-elect Ken
Thompson added, “There is no status

enjoy a good lap around a skating rink, I've added
these awesome tourist-attracting recreational spots to
the places that are no longer safe for children in our
beloved city.
Plenty of families take their children out of small
communities like Canarsie – where there are no parks
with skating rinks – and take them to the city to get
the most out of winter in New York.
Want to take your kids out of the neighborhood
once in a while to show them that there's more to the
world than the little community in which they live?
After the shooting that took place in Bryant Park a
couple of weeks ago, my estimation is that “experiencing life outside of the 'hood” is no longer an
option.
It's bad enough gun violence cripples communities
like Crown Heights, East New York, East Flatbush,
Flatbush and Bed-Stuy. Hearing about a 16-year-old
who shot another teen over a coat - A COAT – was
more than just pathetic. It made me feel like we can't
go anywhere that's safe from dangerous gun-wielding
thugs who turn even the most populated and leisure
environments into a virtual war zone.
The alleged Bryant Park shooter, Corey Dunton,
along with the group of teens who were being shot at,
were from areas such as East Harlem and The Bronx.
Do you think that tourists who read reports like this
are encouraged to visit the city – where conflicting
reports will tell you New York is the “safest it's been
in over two decades”?
Let's get real!!! You truly can't enjoy anything in
the city anymore without worrying who's going to
never taught them about conflict resolution!
In a society where you're shot at for 'looking at
someone the wrong way' or 'saying something disrespectful' to a passerby, who's going to sugarcoat the
truth – that even in an otherwise peaceful place like
Bryant Park, you're not safe!
I'm not naive enough to think these incidents can't
happen in prestigious places in the city where families go to spend quality time together. I'm simply
growing more upset that there aren't ANY places left
in our reportedly “safe” city because of punks who
convert every place they go into the Wild Wild West.
Want to go into the city to get away from the
'rough' streets of Canarsie? Now, it seems you're certainly not going to find any relief from gun violence
– even when you've stereotyped a tourist attraction as
'safe.' I also laugh at the television interviews during
which people say, “In a place like this, I never
expected a shooting to happen!” Gettoutahere!You
can’t be that naive anymore and walk around with
rose colored glasses.
What's worse, in my opinion, is that many minority kids from the 'hood' are getting an even worse reputation as a result of shootings like the one in Bryant
Park. If you're not in favor of Stop-and-Frisk, do
YOU feel safe knowing that the potential revengeseeking individual right next to you is allowed to
carry a gun and the cops really can't do anything?
Leave it to a reckless gunman to ruin the little joys
we have left in the city that truly make the holidays
more enjoyable. Guess we'll be walking in a winter
'gun'derland!

20 members. The other co-chair is the early frontrunner, Mark-Viverito. However, Lander and Williams
have worked to co-introduce legislation, most notably
the Community Safety Act.
The current public debate tour deviates from the
standard practice of county Democratic Party chairs
deciding the next speaker. Brooklyn has emerged as
a political powerbase borough with the recent election
of Park Slope resident, mayor-elect Bill de Blasio. A
compromise candidate, such as Annabel Palma or Mark
Weprin for the speaker may emerge to even out the
perceived balance of power in City Hall.
The 51 councilmembers will vote on January 8,
2014 for its new speaker.

Canarsie’s Christmas House Will
Light Up Community Next Week
Ring in the holidays at the Seddio
House’s Annual Tree Lighting, located
on the corner of East 93rd Street and
Flatlands Avenue. The holiday display,
complete with glowing lights, animated figures and Santa’s reindeer, has
been a Canarsie tradition since 1963.
The entire community is invited to
join in the holiday magic on Sunday,
December 8th at 5 p.m. sharp.
Festivities will include an appearance
by Santa and his elves, live music and
a performance of the Nativity by
fourth and fifth grade Mary Queen of
Heaven students.
This year’s tree lighting is dedicated to the Canarsie Courier’s late
Managing Editor, Charles Rogers,
who served our community for over
25 years. It is also dedicated to John
Ezimoha, the former Grand Knight of
St. Pius Knights of Columbus in
Canarsie.
Every year Frank Seddio adds
something new and colorful to his display. This year, crews worked over the
past few months on constructing a
newer and sturdier display case for
animated figures.
Seddio is a lifelong Canarsie resident and Brooklyn Democratic
Leader. Thousands visit the dazzling
exhibit each year, which will run
through the New Year.

This unsightly, graffiti-covered building (above)
was the site of an old Burger King restaurant at
7602 Flatlands Avenue across from South Shore
High School. The establishment closed in late
1991 but remained vacant for a few years, as the
building could not be demolished because of
“lack of unsafe designation and a court order”
according to the Department of Housing

home of McDonald’s, complete with a 24-hour

Assemblyman Maisel: Law Prevents Deadly Drug Abuse
It’s a heartbreaking story playing out across the
state and nation: young people dying from drug
abuse. Most people know about the dangers associated with “street” and prescription-drug abuse, but
there is a startling trend of teens using over-thecounter cough medicine containing dextromethorphan (DXM) to get a cocaine-like high. To help stop
this abuse, I supported a new law to ban the sale of
certain cold remedies and medicines containing
DXM to minors in New York State.
DXM is found in many over-the-counter cough
suppressant medications, including Robitussin,
NyQuil, Dimetapp and Vicks. If abused, DXM can
cause a high with serious health risks, including hal-
lucinations, confusion, blurred vision, loss of motor
control and vomiting. Other side effects include
sweating, anxiousness, nausea, paranoia, heart palpitations and even death.
In upstate New York, a woman died in a car crash
in which DXM is believed to have been a contributing factor. Her fiancé, who was driving, had drugs
in his system and was sentenced to six months in jail.
Inside the couple’s apartment, a family member
found hundreds of cough medicine bottles.
The new law prohibits pharmacies and stores
from selling DXM to any person under age 18 unless
they have a prescription. All retail establishments
will be required to request proof of age unless the
customer appears to be 25 years of age or older. Any
retailer found violating the new prohibition will be
subject to a fine of $250 per violation. There are
already a number of counties across New York that
have enacted a restriction on the sale of DXM to
minors.
Reducing drug abuse is one of my top priorities.
Toward that end, I also supported the Internet
System for Tracking Over-Prescribing (I-STOP) law
aimed at reducing the availability of highly addictive
prescription medications (Ch. 447 of 2012) that are
often abused. I-STOP requires healthcare practitioners to review a patient’s controlled substance prescription history before prescribing certain drugs,
places stricter regulations on certain highly addictive
prescription painkillers and establishes an electronic-prescribing initiative requiring practitioners to
issue electronic prescriptions.
I’ll continue protecting our children from the dangers of drug abuse. As always, if I can be of any
assistance on this or any other community issue,
please contact my office at 718-968-2770 or email
me at [email protected].

The
Active Consumer
By Dara Mor mile
Hopefully you're enjoying this week's Canarsie
Courier while your Thanksgiving meal is being prepared! Or maybe you're reading it while enjoying
scrumptious leftovers (we're sure there's plenty!).
Either way, we hope your Thanksgiving celebration
goes well – and that you take lots of photos!
Not happy with your smile in those family
pitcures? Better be prepared for many more candid
photo shoots over the next couple of months! If
you're not, make an appointment to see Dr. Ella
Dekhtyar and Dr. Ilya Freyberg who have dental
offices in Canarsie at 1763 Rockaway Parkway (call
718-763-9118) and another office in the Flatbush
area at 789 Flatbush Avenue (call 718-693-5455).
Right now, these skilled dentists have a winter special - surgical implants are only $750. Dr. Ella
Dekhtyar and Dr. Ilya Freyberg also have a new
patient offer - so you can save just in time for the
holidays! Get an exam, x-rays, a regular cleaning
and polishing, an oral cancer screening and a personal consultation with the doctor. When Dr. Ella
Dekhtyar and Dr. Ilya Freyberg take care of you,
you'll experience professional dentistry in a comfortable environment. You'll want to refer your friends
and family! Say cheese today!...
UGH! Those long lines...those loooong walks up
and down the stairs and the frustration of waiting...and
waiting! Your tootsies are undergoing a lot of stress –
and if you've got bunions, warts, calluses or ingrown
toenails, it can be even worse to endure that trip to the
mall. Good thing Dr. John Pawson is conveniently
located at 9229 Flatlands Avenue, where he'll treat
your foot abnormality with the utmost care! With an
office that's modern and up-to-date, Dr. John Pawson
also offers geriatric and diabetic care. You don’t want
to wait until after the holidays, when your stompers
have been through the mill, to call 718-257-1444. Put
your feet in the care of Dr. John Pawson and put the
spunk back in your step!...
Increasing Visibility
On Darkened Streets
As the days turn shorter, it’s time
for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists to
be extra vigilant in safely navigating
our streets during the longer winter
nights.
The risk of pedestrian and cyclist
injury in the traffic environment
increases significantly during the
winter months. A
driver’s
sight
distance plummets after the
sun has set, and
inclement weather (more common this time of
year) can further
decrease a driver’s night vision.
It’s possible to stay safe, even with
this mix of road conditions:
Pedestrians
• Don’t distract your senses. Our
depth perception in dark or inclement
weather is poor, and our ability to
hear oncoming traffic is already compromised in a busy traffic environment. Leave cell phones and video
games in your pocket – don’t text and
walk.
• Stay bright and light at night.
Wear light, bright colors at night and
accessorize with retro-reflective strips.
These materials reflect headlights
brightly and increase drivers’ ability
to see you.
Motorists
• Prepare your vehicle for night
driving. Clean headlights, tail lights,
signal lights and windows at least once a
week.
• Put your phones
down. Talking on a
cell phone or texting
while driving can be
as deadly as drinking
and driving. With
limited light, you
want all your senses
on the road!
Cyclists
• Equip your bike with a white
headlight, a red taillight and multiple
reflectors on your tires and both sides
of your rims. Not only is it the law in
NYC, but staying visible will keep
you safe!
• Wear reflective clothing, and
attach reflective tape and patches to
your helmet, the outer sides of your
shoes, and bags. There’s no such thing
as glowing too much when you’re
riding your bike at night! ©DOT.gov
We hope all of our readers have a great
Thanksgiving with their family! Please keep in mind
that the Canarsie Courier office will be closed
Thursday, November 28th as well as Friday,
November 29th. We’ll reopen on Monday,
December 2nd, during which time you can call to
place an advertisement for our December 5th issue.
Enjoy gobble gobble day!

Serving The Perfect Recipe For Retirement
Succulent turkey. Savory stuffing. Green bean
casserole. Sweet potato and pumpkin pie. Every
family has its Thanksgiving dinner traditions. With a
carefully followed recipe, everyone around the table
can enjoy their favorite dishes.
If you plan poorly and wait to throw the bird in
the oven at the last minute, you will end up with a
turkey of a dish. The same can be said for financial
planning and preparing for retirement. Follow the
perfect recipe and you’ll be rewarded with a juicy
retirement.
Ingredients: one part Social Security earnings,
one part savings, a pinch of planning.
First, start your retirement casserole with a visit to
the Retirement Estimator. As useful as a food
processor, the Estimator gives you an instant projection of what you can expect to receive in retirement
benefits. Just plug in some simple information and
the Estimator uses your past earnings and estimated
SOCIAL SECURITY
BY BEPPIE SIBLEY
Canarsie Office District Manager
future earnings to project about how much you’ll get
when you retire. Like an experienced cook, you can
experiment with the recipe and plug in different
future earnings and retirement dates until it’s just the
way you want it.
Next, fold in the savings. The earlier you begin,
the better off you will be. Social Security replaces
about 40 percent of the average worker’s pre-retirement earnings. Most financial advisors say you will
need 70 percent or more of pre-retirement earnings
to live comfortably. To supplement Social Security
you also will need savings, investments, pensions or
retirement accounts to make sure you have enough
money to enjoy retirement. Visit the Ballpark
Estimator for tips to help you save. www.choosetosave.org/ballpark.
If you have a pension from your employer or a
401k, IRA or similar retirement fund, be sure to add
that into the mix.
Like to taste as you cook? Then you’ll want to set
up a my Social Security account so you can log in
anytime to check your reported earnings and projected benefit estimates. If something doesn’t taste
just right - if your earnings are reported incorrectly
or you find you need to save more to meet your
retirement goals - there’s still time to make corrections before your retirement casserole is done.
Once you’ve added the ingredients of Social
Security earnings, personal savings, and any pensions you may have, it’s time to let the retirement
casserole bake.
If you pull the retirement casserole out to find it a
little underdone, just put it back in for a bit longer.
Delaying retirement can increase your benefits and
give you more time to build up your savings. To
learn more, read our publication entitled When To
Start Receiving Retirement Benefits. It provides
helpful information regarding the things you should
consider when making a decision on when to collect
retirement benefits. You will find it, along with our
other useful publications, at www.socialsecurity.
gov/pubs.
When the retirement casserole is ready, enjoy it!
You deserve a comfortable retirement. Following a
traditional Thanksgiving recipe carefully can ensure
a satisfying meal. In the same way, following our
financial planning recipe will help you achieve a
more fulfilling retirement. Learn more at
www.socialsecurity.gov.

Little Old Canarsie: The Next Generation – Cooking Up Good Times
By Ken A. Rogers
Last week I described how
stuffed derma was served with
the Thanksgiving meal in many
of the homes of the Jewish residents of Canarsie.
I have
received the following comments: What is stuffed derma?
What is in stuffed derma? I
never heard of that! This is not a
cooking column but thanks to my good friend and
Central Park co-worker, Rita Denowitz, here is the
scoop on stuffed derma:
Ingredients:
1. 108 (not 109 or 105 but 108) inches of clean beef
casings. If you cannot find beef casings in the supermarket, go to a kosher butcher.
2. 2 cups of flour
3. 1 cup matzo meal
4. 1 1⁄2 teaspoons of salt
5. 1 tablespoon salt for boiling water
6. 1 cup chicken fat
7. 1⁄2 cup grated carrot
8. 1 small onion grated
9. 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
The following is the Rita method of making stuffed
derma. Place the casings in cold water and cut into
12-inch lengths. Tie one end of each casing with
white thread. When that is completed, turn each casing inside out. Mix the flour, matzo meal, poultry
seasoning and chicken fat. Now fill each casing with
the stuffing. Tie up all loose ends and drop into a
gallon of boiling water. After about 10 minutes,
drain and scrape off the fat from the outside of the
casings. And drop back into the water with a dash of
salt and pepper. Reduce the heat and let simmer for
three hours. When it is time, remove from the water
and let brown for about an hour inside your turkey or
around your poultry dish. Then enjoy. Thanks, Rita.
Also, last week, Dara Mormile wrote about the old
trees in Canarsie that pose a threat to the area’s residents. I remember a time when the London plane,
Linden, Norway Maple and pine oaks that line the
streets of Seaview Village were nothing more than
little sticks in the ground.

CANARSIE COURIER MAGICAL MYSTERY
Ticket Sweepstakes
Flatlands 10th Street, in March of 1958, there was a
patch of dirt between the sidewalk and cement curb.
The first year and a half we lived with a mud hole in
front of our new house.
Between the years 1956 to 1964, it seemed as if a
newly constructed home was being fully completed
at the rate of one a day. The planting of street trees
was the responsibility, and still is, of the New York
City Parks Department. The Department could not
keep up with the pace of building in Canarsie at that
time. In the fall of 1959, a flatbed truck bearing the
contractor’s name Pasty Bello Nurseries rolled down
our block filled with twigs with burlap bubbles on
the bottom. Men removed the skinny sticks from the
truck and planted them in front of every house.
They also planted two poles on both sides of the
trees and tied it all up with metal wire and a piece of
garden hose around the young bark of the trees. I
learned that the rubber hose would prevent the wire
that was holding the tree up from cutting into the
bark as the tree grew.
Today, those once three-foot tall twigs are massive
trees well over thirty feet. Their roots are buckling
up sidewalks while others have fallen during tornadoes and hurricanes inflecting damage to property
and lives. To everything there is a season and a purpose. People have come and gone from Little Old
Canarsie. They may have had Jambalaya, rice and
beans, shrimp dumplings or stuffed derma at their
Thanksgiving table but the one thing we all have in
common is our roots in Little Old Canarsie.

Dupreme Robinson Leads Vikings To Second Straight Bowl Title In Rout Over MSIT
By Jerry Del Priore
South Shore head coach Matt
Ciquera has raved about twoway star Dupreme Robinson
since he joined the football program in his sophomore year in
2011. That’s because Robinson
has been an unparalleled middle linebacker with the Vikings,
winning the PSAL Bowl Conference Defensive Player of the
Year award the last two years.
But it was the senior running
back’s spectacular running performance, scoring four touchdowns when it mattered most,
that impressed Ciquera and the
rest of the frozen onlookers alike
at Springfield High School field,
as he led the Vikings to a 34-
12 finals victory over McKee/
Staten Island Tech—the team’s
second consecutive Bowl Divisional crown.
“He’s unbelievable. He’s an
incredible leader,” Ciquera
gushed of Robinson. “He’s an
extra coach out on the field.
Defensively, he knows the
whole game plan every week
— all the checks. He comes
every day, works hard, and it’s
going to be difficult to replace
him next year when he’s gone.
“It was such a fitting way for
him to go out, scoring those
four touchdowns in the first
half,” he continued. “I can’t say
enough about this kid. He’s a
big reason that South Shore
South Shore ball carrier bust
through for nice game.
Dupreme Robinson turns the corner en route to end zone

on one of his four scores.
football has done what it has
done over the past three seasons.”
Robinson found pay dirt for
the first time on a 32-yard scamper at the six minute mark of
the first quarter to stake the
Vikings (12-0) to a 6-0 lead.
He followed that score up with
a four-yard TD run to extend
South Shore’s advantage to 120 early in the second period.
From there, Robinson crossed the goal line two more times
to increase the Vikings’ margin
to 24 points midway through
the first half. Then, quarterback
Darrius Nichols connected with
Timothy Bowers on a two-point
pass play to push the score to
26-0. South Shore capped its
offensive onslaught when
Equan Yunis rushed for a 35yard TD to take a commanding
34-0 lead with four minutes left
in the second period.
The Seagulls (10-2) refused
to be shutout, however, scoring
twice in the second half to cut
the deficit to 34-12. But that’s
as close as MSIT would get.
Ciquera, who lobbied the
PSAL to promote the Vikings
before the season commenced,
but was turned aside, was determined to have an unbeaten
championship campaign. Now
that South Shore has accom-
plished the team’s ultimate goal,
he strongly believes the program
earned the right to play in the
City Conference next year.
“We wanted to move up to
the City Division for this season, and they thought we
weren’t ready for that,” the
third-year coach explained.
“So, basically the approach we
took with the kids is to go
undefeated, and win the championship; that’s what we had
to do. I had all the faith in the
world that we come out and do
this today, and have the undefeated championship season we
just completed.”
South Shore proudly displays Bowl Division Trophy After
beating MSIT, 34-12, Sunday at Springfield HS.

This Saturday, November 30th, instead of running

why not head to South Shore High School, where the

THE
POINTING FINGER
B Y D R . S T E P H E N F INGER
“Take My Apology, Please”
When asked about the millions of Americans
who are losing their healthcare plans as a result of
the Affordable Care Act, the president responded, “I
am very sorry that they...are finding themselves in
this situation based on assurances they got from
me.”
What did he say? Is that really an apology or is it
more like an apologoid, the way a humanoid robot is a
lot like a human but, somehow...isn’t really a
human? Similar, but not the same. Not really. In an
apology, you’re supposed to take responsibility for
what you did, say that you’re really sorry you did it
and that you’ll do what you can to make it better and
won’t ever do it again. This ‘apology’ was more like,
“I was sorry to hear about your health insurance, Mrs.
Goldberg. Here, I brought you some cookies.”
“Thank you, Mr. President. That was very thoughtful of you.”
But more importantly, when he promised that,
under the Affordable Care Act, we could all keep
our health insurance, did the president know that
millions of Americans would be losing it or didn’t
he?
Well, if he didn’t know, then doesn’t that mean
that he never read the law? And if he didn’t read it,
then he obviously couldn’t have written it either. So,
how is this his ‘signature accomplishment’? An
accomplishment that he didn’t accomplish? Only in
Washington...
(Maybe “You didn’t build that” really meant “I
didn’t build that.”)
And if he did know that what he had been saying
was not true, well...
...in 2009, while the president was speaking to a
joint session of congress, Congressman Joe Wilson
shouted, “You lie!” For this outburst, the congressman was widely attacked for being disrespectful,
rude, boorish and for not showing sufficient respect
to the president or to his office. But one thing for
which he was hardly ever attacked, and of which he
was almost never accused, was...being wrong.

Keep Those Trees Sprouting!
Dear Editor:
While I enjoyed reading Dara Mormile’s wellwritten column on the potential danger of too many
trees wreaking havoc in residential neighborhoods
during severe weather conditions, she went too far
out on a limb and I oppose her conclusion that they
should be limited to prevent future calamities.
Mother Nature is unpredictable and though there
are essential precautions that should be undertaken
to curb property damage, limiting or removing trees
is not the solution and would destroy the beauty of
bucolic, tree-lined communities.
I doubt most homeowners would want to live on
or buy a home on a street without trees, just
because there’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance it will
fall. That’s like saying you don’t park on the street
because there’s some reckless or drunk driver who
might crash into it, resulting in costly repairs.
The devastation from a few Nor’easters and
Hurricane Sandy were rarities, more severe than
any previous weather events that ever struck New
York City. But, it doesn’t mean the city should begin
a full-scale tree removal campaign to avoid possible destruction once in a blue moon.
In fact, the areas of Marine Park and Seaview
Park where a number of trees were “gone with the
wind,” but caused no property damage and later
removed and some not replaced, now look barren.
After all, no one wants a tree to fall on their
house or car, whether they hear it or not, it’s nice
to see more than a single tree growing in Canarsie
and, for that matter, Brooklyn.

Question: Some are petitioning against opening
establishments on Thanksgiving Day. What do
you think of stores opening at 5 p.m. on
Thanksgiving Day for the start of Christmas
shopping??
“I don’t have a problem with it. But it’s supposed to be a holiday for
the employees - optional if they want to work
on Thanksgiving Day.
And if they do decide to
work, they should get
extra pay for it.”
Russell Warner,
Flatbush
“I think it’s great. It
gives people more of an
opportunity to shop during the busy holiday season - get what they
need.”
G. Gashi,
Canarsie
“I think it’s okay. A
business needs to make
money. And opening early
would bring in more money. That way people can
be with their families for
Thanksgiving dinner.”

F
Beach: Moving
Resourceful Resident Rescues Storm Victims
By Linda Steinmuller
One year after Superstorm Sandy,
storm survivors still have vivid memories of a night they’d rather forget.
Everyone has their own unique tale of
October 29, 2012. Some evacuated
their homes before the storm poured its
wrath on Gerritsen Beach and others
stayed behind - never imagining Sandy
would turn into the “storm of the century.” Others, like Nino Coppolino,
pitched in to rescue stranded neighbors.
On the night of the storm,
Coppolino saw the floodwaters racing
down Keen Court, ran to his basement
and quickly removed important items.
He continued to save as much as he
could - until the water reached the electrical outlets and he knew it was no
longer safe.
Sandy’s Bar lands in Gerritsen
Beach.
Curious to see what was going on
outside, Coppolino, who works in construction and has his own truck which
he also uses for towing and snow
removal, ventured outside. “I saw people walking through the water-filled
streets, trying to get to dry ground,”
recalls Coppolino. The construction
worker instantly switched gears and
starting piling storm victims into his
truck. “I had the only vehicle that
could cut through the water, which rose
to about five feet at high tide. Not even
the fire trucks could make it through.”
Coppolino’s monster truck was a
2006, Ford F-350 super duty diesel
with 42-inch swamp tires. With truck
lifters, the tires reach 56 inches high.
The Good Samaritan drove wet and
cold shell-shocked storm survivors to
P.S. 277, where the rushing waters did
not reach. “I have a four-door pickup.
I put four people in the back cab – usu-
ally kids and elderly people - and six to
eight people in the back of the truck.
There were dogs and cats too,”
Coppolino
told
the
Canarsie Courier. “A
cop told me to
move my truck
so they could
pass, but they
got stuck in
the water.
On my next
trip back to
get more
people, the
cop and a
fireman
asked if they
could ride with
me - so they
jumped on the back
of my truck bed. They
gave me addresses of people
in distress. I’d drive to the address and
they did the rescue.”
The Gerritsen Beach native, who
says his grandmother settled here 60
years ago, will have plenty of stories to
pass down to his own grandchildren
one day. He rescued one man who was
on oxygen and saw a woman, neckhigh in water, carrying her infant child
over her head. “The water was so cold;
everyone was frozen and shivering.
People were in shock and many were
crying.”
After Coppolino’s third trip, he saw
a 14-foot skiff rowboat. “I tied the boat
to the hitch of my truck and started
loading people onto the boat.”
Coppolino completed about 15 trips
that night over a four-hour period. “I
never got so many ‘thank you’s’ in my
life. The next day people were coming
up to me that I never met, saying things
like, ‘You saved my father last night.’
Everyone was looking for my white
Keith Farrell, Michael Farrell and
Nino Coppolino in front of Nino's
rescue truck.
truck to come thank me that day.”
Unfortunately, all of Coppolino’s
tools, which were stored in his
garage, were ruined by the
superstorm. “That was
the worst part. I lost
all of my construction tools,
which
cost
over $5,000
to replace,”
Coppolino
lamented.
And to top it
off, he said,
“Insurance
did not cover
the damage to
my
garage
because it was not
considered part of
the house since it is not
connected to my home.”
He also tried to save his beloved
truck but storm water reached the bottom of the vehicle’s door during high
tide and it was not salvageable. “I spent
about $8,000 trying to repair my pickup
but wound up having to buy a new one
a few months later,” said Coppolino.
Wanting to forget his troubles,
Coppolino brought a generator, a boom
box and some liquor to a mysterious
bar near his home. That ‘mysterious
bar’ broke off from its structure and
floated two miles from the Gateway
Marina on Flatbush Avenue over the
Belt Parkway, making its final resting
stop on Madoc Avenue and Keen
Court. It became known as ‘Sandy’s
Bar’ after residents wrote its name in
red marker on the building.
“People were depressed after the
storm and it helped them forget about
their problems for awhile - they were
actually smiling even though all their
stuff was gone!” said Coppolino. “We
found a liquor license inside stating
that it belonged to Gateway and the bar
was already stocked with shot glasses.
I brought coasters and napkins and
some liquor from home.
We had
music playing and about 50 people fit
inside that little bar.”
Coppolino continued, “The cops
came and wanted to know who was in
charge. They were concerned it was a
fire hazard and tried to demolish the
bar but couldn’t. They came back the
next day and had it bulldozed to the
ground.”
In addition to aiding in the evacuation on that fateful night over one year
ago and ‘starting a party’ for his distressed community, the resourceful
young man drove to New Jersey to purchase a diesel generator, which provided power to four surrounding homes,
including his own. “That three-hour
trip to Jersey was worth it, especially
with the gas shortage we experienced
right after the storm. There were no
lines for diesel fuel,” Coppolino reminisced.

Community Comes Together To Celebrate Annual Brotherhood Night
Photos and text by Darryl C. Madison
Monday night, religious leaders and community members of different faiths joined the Canarsie
Lions Club to participate in the 31st Annual
Brotherhood Service at Temple Emanu-El of
Canarsie. For the past 31 years, Canarsie residents have come together right before the start of
the Thanksgiving holiday to share in prayer, worship, and good food. The non-denominational
service demonstrates what the holiday season
truly means. The temple was filled to capacity, as
this ceremony has become a must-attend event for
fellow Canarsiens.
The evening was also filled with beautiful
songs by Joy Riley who recited the “National
Anthem,” and Cantor Doris Cohen who sang
“Bless This House.” Everyone who spoke
reminded those in attendance that the most
important part of the holiday season is spending
time with family and friends, and remembering
those who are less fortunate.
Spiritual and civic leaders who participated in
Brotherhood Night included: Canarsie Lions
Roxanne Persaud, Josephine Bolus, Jaime
Williams, Yolaine Ridore, Joy Riley, Valerie
Woodford, Paul Curiale, among others, Rabbis
Joshua Minkin and Leo Cukier, Leonard Strum,
Max Ableson and Cantor Doris Cohen, Father
Edward Kane and Father John Amann, Reverend
Cecil Moonsam, Reverend Nathan Williams,
Evangelist Pastor Gesner Sagesse, Pastor Gerald
Jean and Henry Beaucejour. Assemblyman Alan
Maisel, Brookyln Democratic Leader Frank
Seddio, Deputy Borough President Sandra
Chapman, 69th Precinct Auxiliary officers, along
with Commanding Officer Norman Grandstaff,
captain of the 69th Precinct and Community
Affairs Officer Eton White were also at the ceremony.

The Dangers of
Antibiotic Resistance
877-EARLOBE
(327-5623)
866-KELOIDS
(535-6437)
Colds and many other upper respiratory infections, as well as some ear infections, are caused
by viruses, not bacteria. If antibiotics are used
too often for things they can't treat—like colds or
other viral infections—they can stop working
effectively against bacteria when you or your
child really needs them. Antibiotic resistance—
when antibiotics can no longer cure bacterial
infections—has been a concern for years and is
considered one of the world's most critical public
health threats.
CDC efforts have resulted in fewer children
receiving unnecessary antibiotics in recent years,
but inappropriate use remains a problem.
Widespread overuse and inappropriate use of
antibiotics continues to fuel an increase in antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Antibiotic resistance is also an economic burden on the entire healthcare system. Resistant
infections cost more to treat and can prolong
healthcare use.

About one in three adults aged 50 to 75
years have not been tested for colorectal
cancer, despite research that shows colorectal cancer screening tests saves lives.
“There are more than 20 million adults in
this country who haven’t had any recommended screening for colorectal cancer and
who may therefore get cancer and die,” said
CDC Director Tom Frieden, M.D., M.P.H.
Colorectal cancer is the second leading
cancer killer in the United States, after lung
cancer. Screening tests can prevent cancer or
detect it at an early stage, when treatment
can be highly effective. Adults aged 50 and
older should undergo one or several of these
screening tests:
• Fecal occult blood test (FOBT) or fecal
immunochemical test (FIT) done at home
every year,
• Flexible sigmoidoscopy, done every five
years, with FOBT/FIT done every three
years,
• Colonoscopy done every 10 years. A
colonoscopy can detect cancer early, and it
can find precancerous polyps so they can be
removed before they turn into cancer. An
FOBT/FIT is a simple at-home test that can
detect cancer early by identifying blood in
the stool, a possible sign of cancer. People
are not always offered a choice of colorectal
cancer tests, but studies have shown that
people who are able to choose the test they
prefer are more likely to get the test done.

A Brief History On The Dreidel
Chanukah Greetings
To All
Serenity Laser Dental
9401 Seaview Ave.
718-251-5858
The Greek oppressors outlawed Torah schools, so the children would study in the forests, posting a sentry to alert them of Greek patrols. When the alert came, the children would hide their texts and start playing with dreidels (spinning tops). We, too, play dreidel games on Chanukah to commemorate the courage
of these heroic children. The four Hebrew letters on the dreidel are an acronym for “Nes Gadol Hayah
Sham”—a great miracle happened there. So playing dreidel keeps us mindful of the Chanukah miracles
even during fun and games.

Prayers For Chanukah
Each day of Chanukah we thank G-d by reciting the complete Hallel in the morning prayer service. We
also insert a special prayer of thanksgiving, V’al Hanissim, in the prayers and Grace after Meals. Every
morning we read from the Torah about the inauguration offerings brought in honor of the dedication of
the Tabernacle—reminiscent of the Maccabean rededication of the defiled Temple.
