Organization Gives Hope To Canarsie Students

By Dara Mormile The mission of Virginia’s House of Hope is to improve the quality of life for children by helping disadvantaged families throughout the city. A demonstration of that mission took place at P.S. 276 last Thursday where 30 families received donated toys, school supplies and food through their School Host Outreach Program.

Students at the East 83rd Street elementary school picked out toys that were lined up on the stage in the audi torium and thanked program coordinators for their generosity. Afterward, parents – equipped with shopping carts – were given bulk quantities of dry food goods such as rice, peanut butter and pasta.

Founded in 2006 by L. Antonio Litman, who helped out at the

event, Virginia’s House of Hope is able to generously donate items thanks to various partnerships.

The organization also sponsors the following: the Tugboat Program, a Maritime Scholarship program and Partners of Hope Conservatory. You may see and purchase more photos from the event by visitingwww.canarsiecourier.com. Just click on the blue button.

Slain Flatlands Teen Laid To Rest The grieving family and friends of 15-yearold Isiah Joseph said their final goodbyes last Friday and Saturday. The youngster’s wake was held in Crown Heights on Friday at the R. Steven LeGall Funeral Home, and his funeral was held Saturday at St. Therese of Lisieux Church, not too far from where the teen was gunned down in broad daylight on Sunday, January 11th.

The scene outside the church was somber as hundreds paid their respects to Joseph. The priest who performed the funeral service baptized Joseph as a baby. The teen’s family said Joseph was a born businessman.

According to police, Joseph was walking with a 20-year-old, who remains unidentified, in the Flatlands area near East 56th Street and Avenue H at around 1:15 p.m. Three men approached them and, according to Joseph’s mother, the group got into a fist fight before one of the three men pulled out a gun and fired several shots, hitting Joseph in the back. The 20-year-old was shot in the lower torso but survived his injuries after paramedics took them to Brookdale Hospital.

Surveillance footage from a nearby home shows the dangerous trio running from the scene, but no arrests have been made thus far and the investigation is ongoing.

The NYPD is still asking for the public’s help in tracking down the gunmen. Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS. The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers Website at www.nypdcrimestoppers.com or texting their tips to 274637(CRIMES) then enter TIP577. 

Eyewitnesses reported that a Nissan Altima was traveling northbound on East 102nd

Street around 3 p.m. As the car approached the intersection, it collided with a white BMW. The impact of the collision sent the Nissan over the curb and onto the northwest side of the sidewalk, across from the U.S. Post Office.

The car knocked down a fence before landing in the garage. Fortunately, the driver of the

Nissan did not sustain any injuries but was rather shaken. The homeowners said that a similar incident occurred about one year ago when an accident caused a car to land in their garage – talk about lightning striking twice in the same place!

Unidentified Man Washes Ashore In Marine Park Area A fully-clothed man, unconscious and unresponsive, was found on Sunday, January 25th, at the Gateway Marina at Floyd Bennett Field. NYPD officials told the media that they were contacted by a fisherman who was at the shore that day – just before 9 a.m. The fisherman saw the body floating near the marina.

Emergency personnel pulled the body out of the water and pronounced the victim dead at the scene. Reports stated that there was no identification on the badly decomposed man – possibly from being in the water for such a long period of time. As of press time, it’s not known how long the man was in the water. Officials are also waiting for the Medical Examiner’s office to reveal the cause of death.

She’s Doing Her Thing For The Community – In Albany!

Now that our new Assemblywoman Roxanne Persaud is officially in Albany, she’s getting down to some much-needed business! She recently shared some photos of herself and her family at her second home – at the New York State Assembly. Earlier this month she was formally introduced to her fellow assembly members at her new digs, where she’ll be working on vital legislation and getting the word out to her constituents on state-sponsored bills and programs. Officials say Persaud’s local district office is expected to open in February, but anyone within the district who needs her assistance can contact her at 518-455-5211 or e-mail her at PersaudR@assembly.state.ny.us.

NYPD Releases Updated Image Of Missing Starrett Boy  “      .”

This sentiment was released by the NYPD last week after they distributed an age-progressed photo of Patrick Alford, the Starrett City youngster who was 7 years old when he disappeared from his home at 130 Vandalia Avenue on January 22, 2010. He was last seen in the lobby of the apartment where he was staying with his foster mother.

According to reports, police refreshed their search during the solemn anniversary of his disappearance last week, combing through Brooklyn and Staten Island, where his birth mother lives.

Lt. Christopher Zimmerman, Commander of the NYPD’s Missing Persons Squad, held a press conference last Thursday outside the Starrett City building to discuss the ongoing search operation. Lt. Zimmerman has made it his personal goal to find the boy and, through

media outlets, has pleaded for the youngster’s safe return.

Alford reportedly left the Starrett City apartment at about 9 p.m. with his foster mother, who was throwing trash into a hallway incinerator.

When she turned around, Alford was gone. He was last seen wearing a red t-shirt, blue jeans and black sneakers.

The Police Department is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for Alford’s disappearance.

The reward is in addition to the $2,000 offered by Crime Stoppers – bringing the total reward to $12,000.

Anyone with information on Patrick Alford’s whereabouts is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1800-577-TIPS (8477). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website at www.nypdcrimestoppers.com or by texting their tips to 274637 (CRIMES) then enter TIP577.

Local Blood Donations Are Not Made In ‘Vein’ Last Thursday, a busmobile from the New York Blood Center was parked outside the 69th Precinct stationhouse, located at 9720 Foster Avenue, for one of several blood drives the officers host each year. Volunteers Rochelle and Jerry Cohen, along with Joy Riley, did their part by registering potential blood donors and passing out snacks and goodies.

Twenty people donated blood for a great cause – to save lives. Twenty pints of blood were collected, which can potentially save up to 60 people’s lives.

His age alone draws our attention because we view him as vulnerable.

Most of us in policing, especially in missing persons cases, know that not only is there a humane effort to find this person, but we understand the significant threat of someone that young becoming a target of a predatory type.

We feel for this kid. And I’m a parent; it’s a horrible thing to be a parent wondering if your child went missing and where they are.

He doesn’t have to be my own son for me to care. I want to find him healthy, protect him, and put him in a safe home.

We’re going to go out to his old address Thursday and remind the public that he’s missing; we’re going to stop the foot traffic, the people going to work, and just anybody in the neighborhood.

We want to know if they know anything. People may have seen or

heard something that they don’t think is important. They don’t realize if you talk to police, we have the whole puzzle in front of us. They could have the missing piece.

We’re hoping we can use the anniversary on the day to shake the tree, as they say, and maybe find new information, wipe off the cobwebs of what happened that day.

If you know something, call (800) 577-TIPS. If a tip comes in, they will call me at home and tell me, and I will dispatch resources immediately.

He’s a child, and he’s out there. He deserves a good life like everybody else.                

It’s Never The Right Time To Be “Sexy” In A Community

Telling It Like It Is

By Dara Mormile

ith all the attention “50 Shades of Grey” is getting, it’s no wonder adult novelty shops have been drumming up more business over the past couple of years. Even if you’re a guy who has no interest in the erotic trilogy – or the recent release of the long-anticipated movie trailer – you’ll definitely be interested in knowing that a sex shop exists right in your community!

When news broke that a sex shop opened on Flatbush Avenue, I didn’t know which position to take. I don’t agree with having a raunchy adult shop setting up on a busy commercial strip, but where are these businesses going to operate where no one will object or start a war?

The shop on Flatbush Avenue isn’t exactly secretive. If the owner wanted to sell some sexy items in the back of the store and attract those erotica-driven customers, they could have simply kept the name consistent with the other items they sell, which include tobacco pipes, grinders and scales, hookahs and vaporizers. WOW! What a winning combination for a romantic evening!

I understand they’re trying to get one hell of a party going, but this store is located near a public library and within a mile radius of at least three public schools. Do you want your child walking past a sex shop – seeing items used in “50 Shades of Grey” – and asking how they’re used? If you didn’t think you’d have to have a talk with your kids about the

W

birds and the bees just yet, they might be provoked to ask quite a few things after passing the enticing store.

A somewhat safe alternative would have been to sell community-friendly items at the front of the store and NOT give it a name that would connote sexual merchandise. Making a section in the back of the store, simply designated “For Adults Only,” might suffice.

We know there are residents who want to have a sexy time – and thanks to the internet, people don’t have to step foot inside of a store to buy dirty goodies – whether it’s for a bachelor/bachelorette party or to spice things up (again, thanks to “50 Shades,” which reportedly helped the adult novelty business take off).

Let’s get real! Where in Brooklyn will residents find it acceptable to establish a sex shop? And where do all the mega-sexy people go? Conservatives and liberals will probably agree that sexual freedom has no place in any small community – since there’s really no viable, sensible and acceptable place for an adult novelty shop to operate.

Everywhere you go, residential properties are popping up and more families are moving into Brooklyn. Neighborhoods like Williamsburg, Greenpoint and Red Hook are growing, with community leaders and developers trying to attract families and reputable businesses. Is there room – anywhere – for a racy shop that caters to the needs of adults who aren’t shy enough to buy fuzzy handcuffs and latex…anything? For residents who don’t want to travel outside the community for novelty items, crazy costumes and perverted party goods – where are their rights to shop?

You don’t have to be a prude to object to a business that’s in the worst possible location – too close

to the legal zoning limits set forth by the city.

Proprietors have been known to set up x-rated shops in places where they’re outside of the legal zoning – so what locations in our community are within legal limits?

According to reports, a law passed in 1995 banned sex shops within 500 feet of schools, residences, daycare centers, churches and other houses of worship. A New York Times article from 1998, during former Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s administration, stated that “law violated the owners' constitutional rights to free speech because it would force them to relocate outside of Manhattan or to sites that are uninhabitable, perhaps driving them out of business entirely.”

These days, where can you set up any business in the city where you’re not within 500 feet of a school, daycare center, church, residence etc. We have more churches, schools and daycare centers than we’ve ever had before. Getting your freak on back in the days meant you could open an x-rated store in a somewhat empty industrial area far away from “innocent and immaculate” institutions (if you can call them ‘innocent’ – these days it seems there are more x-rated things being spoken about in our schools than in some swanky sex shop!).

Nothing is going to satisfy residents, business owners, politicians or those effervescent romantics who want to feed their fetishes. Giving adult shop entrepreneurs a list of locations they can legally and inoffensively set up shop is something to consider – depending on how much rent they can afford and how far they’re willing to travel to open up their store. Getting anal about an inappropriate business will never be a thing of the past, but we’re sure hoping disrespectful business owners will be a thing of the past!

Canarsie DJ Remembers Talk Show Host Radio and television icon Joe Franklin passed away this past Saturday at the age of 88. Joe Franklin was said to have created the modern day talk show. He started out in radio and television in 1950 and his television show was on Channel 9 here in New York until his final show in 1993. He is still listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for the world's longest running television talk

show. Joe had some of the biggest stars on his show, such as John Lennon, Tony Curtis, Marilyn Monroe and even Elvis Presley.

Canarsie DJ Jimmy Diele, in photos with the late icon, ran into Joe Franklin many times over the years and had the pleasure of interviewing him. “Joe Franklin was a nice guy who always had a big smile and a hand shake for you.” 

THE

POINTING FINGER

BY DR. STEPHEN FINGER

As many of you know, written prescriptions will be illegal in New York State after March 27, 2015. If you agree that this will cause great harm and disruption to our health care system, please consider copying the following, or writing something similar, and sending it to your State Senator, State Assemblyman, and to the Governor before it's too late.

Remember, the prescription you save may be your own.

Sincerely, Stephen Finger, M.D. Brooklyn, NY www.thepointingfinger.blogspot.com *** Dear __________.

I have recently learned that you passed a law which will make written prescriptions illegal in New York State after March 27th of this year and that all prescriptions will have to be submitted by computer after this date.

I would strongly urge that you immediately act to repeal this law. It is unnecessary and will have numerous undesirable consequences, the most notable being, 1) Computers crash. When the computer used by my chosen provider or pharmacist malfunctions, I will have no way of obtaining my medications without providers making timeconsuming phone calls on overtaxed

phone lines....if the provider's office is not already closed for the day and if the phone lines are open.

2) Software malfunctions. See #1 above.

3) Internet connections malfunction. See #1 above.

4) I will no longer be able to shop for better service or less expensive medicines. Each prescription will be sent to a single pharmacy, making it very difficult and time consuming to comparison shop.

5) Privacy. Though all is to be 'encrypted', hackers had no trouble getting into computers of Sony Entertainment, Target, and many others. There is no reason to believe that prescription systems will be any more foolproof. I do not want my medication usage to be a matter of public knowledge.

I have been using written prescriptions without difficulty since...forever. I would very much appreciate your using your good offices to effect immediate repeal of this ill-conceived law before it does irreparable harm to our health and to our health care system. I consider this to be a matter of great urgency and look forward to hearing of the actions you have taken.

By Dara Mormile We’re not sure if a private sanitation company forgot to pick up someone’s trash on East 87th Street near Avenue K or if the piles of bags and miscellaneous debris were dropped off by litterbugs. The mess, which remained at the southeast side of the street for quite some time, clearly obstructed pedestrian traffic. If a wheelchair-bound resident or someone pushing a stroller along the sidewalk had to pass, they’d be out of luck since there was only about a foot of clearance near the curb.

Youth Sports Takes Measures For Better Concussion Management  It’s no secret that football is a tough sport, with the possibility of injuries ever-present, including concussions, a type of traumatic brain injury that occurs when a head impact jars or rattles the brain inside the skull.

In fact, a recent study from the National Center for Injury Prevention found that approximately 47 percent of high school football players say they suffered a concussion each season, with around 37 percent of those reporting multiple concussions in a year.

But according to the American College of Sports Medicine, some 85 percent of sports-related concussions go undiagnosed.

While it’s difficult to prevent concussions from occurring, even with a helmet, which is designed to protect the skull, not brain, there are some measures that can be taken to improve the safety of young athletes.

First and foremost, only medical staff can diagnose a concussion, not a coach. Therefore, it’s paramount to have qualified doctors and trainers schooled in concussion safety present at games.

The NYC Public School Athletic League requires medical personnel to be at every football game played during the season. In addition, as of July 2012, New York State mandated that all PSAL coaches, regardless of sport, must be certified in concussion management.

This is vital because statistics indicate that rough-

ly 33 percent of all sports concussions happen during practice. But it’s not economically feasible for high schools to have medical personnel at every practice. So it’s important for coaches to recognize the symptoms, which include loss of consciousness, drowsiness, confusion, headache, nausea or vomiting, blurred vision and loss of memory of events surrounding the injury.

Moreover, medical experts believe that airing on the side of caution, plus have an accredited medical professional evaluate the athletes are the best course of actions to take.

However, concussions are often difficult to identify and can impact athletes’ current and future health status. That’s were i1 Biometrics, a Kirkland,

The highly accurate data is then transmitted to sideline personnel, who use a computer or smartphone to measure every player’s head impact level, with individual thresholds, said Jesse Harper, President and CEO of i1 Biometrics. But he also Continued on page 26

Junior guard Shamorie Ponds had a tremendous game, recording 27points, five three pointers, 13 rebounds and six assists in the win.

Ponds’ offensive output put him over the 1000point mark for his high school career.

Senior forward Jordan Colson drained 16 points while junior guard Isiah Deas chipped in with 10 and four dishes and junior forward Eric Massingale had eight points and seven boards.   The visiting Lady Vikings, behind a gamehigh 25 points and eight rebounds from Maryland-bound senior forward Brianna Fraser, beat Boys & Girls, 57-50, last weekend.

“We received a federal transit grant for $1.5 million to create an easier way for cyclists and walkers to access the Jamaica Bay Greenway,” a DOT representative told the board. “We’re looking to connect the two points starting at the west end of Canarsie Park.”

The path, built entirely on parkland, would pass by the park’s cricket field, the constructed wetlands and forest before emptying out into the Jamaica Bay area.

“It’s a very serene pathway, especially in the fall,” the DOT representative said.

CB 18 District Manager Dorothy Turano and the rest of the board were thrilled with the idea of a connector.

One idea thrown around was the possibility of installing more lighting or placing emergency phones along the path to help pedestrians and cyclists feel safer.

The DOT rep said she was not sure it would be possible to install such safety measures as the project is limited to staying within the $1.5 million budget from the grant.

“There is some lighting and it isn’t a huge stretch of path, so I don’t know how feasible that would be,” she said.

Though the board was excited for the connector, it will be a while before any cyclist can take their morning ride on the pathway.

The project is currently 50 percent through the design phase, and the DOT expects to wrap that process later this year. Construction won’t begin until mid-2016 and will be completed in mid2017.

“It’s great, but I’ll be dead by the time it’s finished,” an audience member joked.

The next CB18 meeting will be held on Wednesday, February 18th at 7 p.m. at the Community Board office, located at 1097 Bergen Avenue.

Canarsie Historical Society Co-President Critiques Book On Wyckoff Family I am replying to Prof. M. William Wykoff’s letter sent to the  , a copy of which appears below. I find it highly unusual that Prof.

Wykoff has requested that his book be reviewed by a member of the local community, but did not actually provide a copy of the book, as he apparently did when he corresponded with Joan Griffis of the Illinois Genealogical Society.

While I realize that my reply may appear to be quite lengthy, the matter discussed by Prof. Wykoff is extremely complex, and it is necessary that I provide some essential background information to enable the reader to understand the matter.

My qualifications to address this matter are as follows: I have been a life member of the Wyckoff House and Association since 1982, and have attended every reunion and annual meeting since 1984. I served on the organization’s Board of Directors for a period of 10 years, have served on the Executive Committee, and am currently an Honorary Director.

I also served for numerous years as the co-chairman of the Association’s Museum Advisory Board. I am currently serving as the organization’s  historian, as I have done for at least the last 10 years. At their annual meeting in 2000, the association, in recognition of my longstanding involvement and support, elected me an honorary member of the Wyckoff Family, bestowing the name Ira KlugerWyckoff upon me, and documented this by presenting me with a framed certificate. Since that time, I have used this name within the context of the Wyckoff House and Association. Given all of the foregoing, I believe that I am sufficiently versed in the life and times of Pieter Claesen Wyckoff to respond to Prof. Wykoff’s letter.

Moreover, prior to the last reunion and annual

meeting of the Wyckoff House and Association, which took place in October of 2014, the president of the organization requested that I read the book and participate in the board’s extensive discussion regarding it, which I did. Thus I am extremely familiar with the contents of Prof. Wykoff’s book.

Prof. Wykoff correctly asserts that some of the information contained in the book, The Old World Progenitors of Pieter Claesen Wyckoff, is inaccurate, particularly in its fanciful suggestions that Pieter Claesen descended from Swedish nobility. The Wyckoff Association in America, which evolved into the Wyckoff House and Association, Inc., was founded in 1937. Prior to that time, a member of the Wyckoff family, William Forman Wyckoff, retained the services of a self-professed genealogist by the name of Gustave Anjou, who, unknown to Wyckoff, prepared a report incorporating fraudulent data. In 1936, one year prior to the establishment of the Wyckoff Association in America, two Wyckoff descendants, William LeRoy Wyckoff and Hebert James Wyckoff, published the data in the Old World Progenitors. The point, which I am attempting to communicate here, is that the book was compiled and published by various individuals who were acting independently, not by the Wyckoff family association, which did not even exist at the time of publication. It was eventually discovered that Anjou prepared literally hundreds of fraudulent pedigrees, defrauding many East Coast families who engaged his services in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Moreover, when the Wyckoff Association became aware of the inaccurate data contained in the manuscript, they discontinued the sale of the Old World Progenitors. I cannot overemphasize that the parties who initially published the book, and the Wyckoff

Association, were acting in good faith, and were victims of Anjou’s fraud, rather than the perpetrators of a fraud. Thus I must take exception to the implications contained in the quote by Joan Griffis of the Illinois Genealogical Society, to the effect that she had been familiar with Anjou but did not know that the “big names” [presumably a reference to the Wyckoff House and Association] are also encouraging bad information.

The central premise of Prof. Wykoff’s book is that Pieter Claesen Wyckoff is of Frisian, rather than Dutch origin. Much of the book is based upon the study of semantics and etymology, fields which I have no knowledge of and thus cannot comment on.

However, I do find it rather interesting that although the book identifies the author as Prof. Wykoff, an autobiographical entry containing his credentials, qualifications and academic affiliation is conspicuously absent.

The theory that Pieter Claesen Wyckoff was of Frisian rather than Dutch origin is hardly a novel one. This possibility was raised by some of the research conducted by the late Dr. Helen Wicoff and the late Dr. Bernhard Hall during their visit to Europe. Moreover, a paper containing a similar hypothesis was presented by Wilhelm Wykhoff and the late Hans Schrader at the 1987 meeting of the Wyckoff House and Association, and was published in the association’s 1988 bulletin. However, all of these researchers clearly acknowledged the possibility that Pieter Claesen Wyckoff was of Frisian origin was a theory, rather than a fact. Unless documentary evidence of Pieter Claesen’s parentage and birth is eventually discovered, which, in my opinion, is highly unlikely, his origins will remain within the Continued on page 20

Keeping Students Smiling At P.S. 114 Ryder Elementary School P.S. 114 has a new and exciting vision. They’re proud to be part of new community outreach programs.

Thanks to special partnerships with financial institutions, hospitals and academic institutions, classroom workshops and afterschool activities have been thriving at the Remsen Avenue school. One of these programs enabled students to learn about the importance of oral hygiene. A college professor from NYU’s College of Dentistry disseminated vital information about good oral hygiene.

The workshop, which took place on Friday, January 16th, stressed the importance of visiting a dentist at least twice a year and brushing every day. Every student in grades four and five received a gift package with useful information, a toothbrush and toothpaste.

The staff and students were excited and gained a great deal from the experience.

Canarsie School Supervisor Nominated For Changing Students’ Lives  Every day, while walking through the halls of P.S. 272, at East 100th Street and Seaview Avenue, behavioral specialist Mateo De La Rosa is greeted warmly by numerous students – with a smile and a hug. It was this nurturing and caring quality that inspired the staff at P.S. 272 to nominate De La Rosa for this year’s National ‘LifeChanger of the Year’ Award.

“I’ve been working here for 25 years and it takes a lot to impress me,” said guidance counselor Ronnie Grieco, who nominated De La Rosa for the award.

“You can see through his interaction with the children that he has a true connection with them and their parents.”

Grieco said the climate of the school has changed and she’s noticed a shift in the quality of students’ life since De La Rosa became the school’s behavioral specialist. “A lot of our special needs and atrisk students need a safe zone. He connected well with several students who were quite difficult – whether they had anger issues or developmental issues. He’s de-escalated a lot of situations when a child came into school angry, for whatever reason, and there are a lot more students graduating this year with a positive academic experience,” she added.

A Bronx native, De La Rosa began his career at P.S. 272, the Curtis Estabrook Elementary School, five years ago as the director of OASIS, their afterschool program. Principal Dakota Keyes recognized his dedication and warmth. Subsequently, she decided at the beginning of the 2014 school year to bring him on board and serve as the school’s behavioral specialist.

De La Rosa told the   that it’s important to show at-risk and special needs students that they’re in a safe place. “If you can capture their hearts and show children that you genuinely care, then they start to care. Some students come from a harsh environment and bring their problems to school with them. I try to help manage students’ behavior by teaching them about the consequences they’ll have to suffer for bad behavior, and I reward them for positive behavior.”

With 27 percent of P.S. 272’s students being special needs, the 42-year-old educator said the school has a policy – that staff cannot yell at students, but rather, use a universal language and work as a unit with children’s’ families to address emotional issues.

“We’re also working with the Hebrew Educational Society (H.E.S.), which has a lot of special needs programs that we want to implement here,” he said, referring to Minnie’s Place, a multisensory room at the H.E.S., located nearby at East 95th Street and Seaview Avenue. The program works toward helping special needs children, including those with autism.

De La Rosa wants to work with more community organizations and showcase a student of the week to raise children’s standards. “My goal is for students to monitor their own behavior and to reassess their emotions when they start their school day. But having a support system and calm environment is something I work hard to establish.”

To nominate De La Rosa, Grieco had to prepare a brief essay about his proven ability to make a beneficial difference in students’ lives and how he demonstrated leadership through various activities at the school.

“When Ms. Keyes brought the award program to my attention, I knew Mr. De La Rosa was perfect for the nomination,” Grieco said.

Nomination for the “LifeChanger of the Year’ Award requires a proven record of excellent performance at a professional level and a commitment to producing a nurturing atmosphere.

“Everything he does with this school and for our kids is perfectly aligned with the vision I have for

creating a safe haven for our students,” Principal Keyes said. “Seeing him interact with the kids everyday is an inspiration.”

Each school year, the ‘LifeChanger of the Year’ program, funded by the National Life Group Organization, receives hundreds of national nominations. Ten winners are selected by a committee to receive cash awards, which are split between the individual winner and their school with a national grand prize of $10,000. The top three winners are also honored at an award ceremony.

De La Rosa is honored for the nomination and said he is looking forward to getting more community organizations involved in the school’s growth while keeping the positive vibes flowing through the halls.

It Was SNOW Big Deal After All! Residents had their snow blowers, shovels and salt ready Monday night to battle what the city expected to be one of New York’s most “historic snow storms.” Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it) many woke up Tuesday morning to find that the accumulation was A LOT less than officials expected. While the National Weather Service predicted about three feet of snow during the first blizzard of 2015, most of the tristate area was hit with less than a foot of the white stuff. It was still a pain digging out Tuesday afternoon – shortly after the storm passed. Sanitation trucks were on top of things, plowing local streets during and after the blizzard. Schools were closed on Tuesday, as well as most businesses, and Mass Transit was shut down from Monday night into the next morning. A few more storms are expected to slam the city over the next week, but this one was ‘sno’where as bad as they predicted!

Young Scientists Build A Bridge To The Future M.S. 366 does it again! They’re the winners of the FLL Lego Robotics Competition for the second year in a row. Last Sunday, Canarsie’s Science and Medicine Middle School competed against 44 Brooklyn teams in the Robot Mission category of the Brooklyn Qualifier. The event was held at NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering in Downtown Brooklyn. The East 107th Street school blew the competition away, and Team Lego Legacy took home a first place trophy. What’s next for these enterprising young scientists? They’re invited to compete against other NYC schools at the Jacob Javits Center on March 14th. Good luck to these budding scientists!

Continued from page 15 realm of theory, rather than fact.

After criticizing the Old World Progenitors and other publications for presenting fanciful data, Prof. Wykoff, in his book, surprisingly embarks upon a pure flight of fancy, in which he raises the possibility that Pieter Claesen was the illegitimate child of a Bishop and a milkmaid. I find this extremely bizarre, and will not dignify it by further commenting.

It is notable that the question of Pieter Claesen’s ancestry is, to an extent, moot, because all of those who emigrated to New Netherlands/New Amsterdam assimilated with the Dutch and in essence became Dutch. I have identified a well-written article, which illustrates

Canarsie Courier this point quite well. It was written by the late Berne A. Pyrke, a prominent descendent of Pieter Claesen Wyckoff. What is particularly interesting is that in addition to having descended from Pieter Claesen, Judge Pyrke was a descendant of Pietro Caesar Alberti, the first Italian to settle on Long Island, in what is now Brooklyn. The article discusses how Alberti, an Italian, married a Dutch woman and assimilated with the Dutch population, and how his descendants eventually intermarried with the Wyckoff family.

Here are 10 important facts from the IRS about this credit and how it may benefit your family.  - With the Child Tax Credit, you may be able to reduce your federal income tax by up to $1,000 for each qualifying child under the age of 17.  - A qualifying child for this credit is someone who meets the qualifying criteria of six tests: age, relationship, support, dependent, citizenship, and residence.   - To qualify, a child must have been under age 17 – age 16 or younger – at the end of 2010.   - To claim a child for purposes of the Child Tax Credit, they must either be your son, daughter, stepchild, foster child, brother, sister, stepbrother, stepsister or a descendant of any of these individuals, which includes your grandchild, niece or nephew.

An adopted child is always treated as your own child. An adopted child includes a child lawfully placed with you for legal adoption.  - In order to claim a child for this credit, the child must not have provided more than

half of their own support.   - You must claim the child as a dependent on your federal tax return.   - To meet the citizenship test, the child must be a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or U.S. resident alien.  - The child must have lived with you for more than half of 2010. There are some exceptions to the residence test, which can be found in IRS Publication 972, Child Tax Credit.  - The credit is limited if your modified adjusted gross income is above a certain amount. The amount at which this phase-out begins varies depending on your filing status. For married taxpayers filing a joint return, the phase-out begins at $110,000. For married taxpayers filing a separate return, it begins at $55,000. For all other taxpayers, the phase-out begins at $75,000. In addition, the Child Tax Credit is generally limited by the amount of the income tax you owe as well as any alternative minimum tax you owe.     If the amount of your Child Tax Credit is greater than the amount of income tax you owe, you may be able to claim the Additional Child Tax Credit. 

The “Burden Of Proof” The responsibility to prove entries, deductions, and statements made on your tax returns is known as the burden of proof. You must be able to prove (substantiate) certain elements of expenses to deduct them. Generally, taxpayers meet their burden of proof by having the information and receipts (where needed) for the expenses. You should keep ade-

quate records to prove your expenses or have sufficient evidence that will support your own statement. You generally must have documentary evidence, such as receipts, canceled checks, or bills, to support your expenses.

Additional evidence is required for travel, entertainment, gifts, and auto expenses. 

Cosentyx is administered as an injection under the skin. It is intended for patients who are candidates for systemic therapy (treatment using substances that travel through the bloodstream, after being taken by mouth or injected), phototherapy (ultraviolet light treatment) or a combination of both. Cosentyx’s safety and effectiveness were established in four clinical trials with a total of 2,403 participants with plaque psoriasis who were candidates for phototherapy or systemic therapy. 

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently approved Cosentyx (secukinumab) to treat adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.

Psoriasis is a skin condition that causes patches of skin redness and irritation. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder, and occurs more commonly in patients with a family history of the disease, and most often begins in people between the ages of 15 and 35. The most common form of psoriasis is plaque psoriasis, in which patients develop thick, red skin with flaky, silverwhite patches called scales.

Reconciliation: Confessions Saturday 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM, and on request after weekday Masses.

All current Altar Servers are asked to leave their contact information in the office or to call Oliver at 347-452-9520 as soon as possible. We will contact you for a mandatory meeting before the new scheduling or you will not be able to serve. Your ministry is very important to the life of the church.

Thank you for your cooperation.

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.

Continued from page 13 believes it can lead to better coaching techniques that will hopefully prevent less head-on collisions, resulting in less head traumas.

“With the data you’re able to see what occurred, where in the head the (hit) occurred, and how hard, in real time,” Harper explained.

“You’re able to detect a player’s hitting technique habits in-game. This should lead coaches to teach players better hitting techniques.”

But i1 Biometrics isn’t the only one taken measures to reduce the severity of concussions, even incidents.

In 2009, Washington State enacted the Zackery Lystedt Law, named after then-13-year-old middle school football player Zackery Lystedt, who collapsed from a traumatic brain injury when

he was allowed back into a game just 15 minutes after suffering a concussion.

Washington became the first state in the nation to pass a comprehensive youth sports concussion safety law. The law requires certain provisions be upheld in order to hit the field, including the prohibition of youth athletes suspected of sustaining a concussion from returning to play or practice without a licensed healthcare provider’s approval.

Lystedt spent the next nine months in a coma, and even today is still confined to a wheelchair.

Presently, all 50 states have some form of youth sports concussion safety law in place. But the Lystedt family is taking it one step further, hoping to drive the law to the U.S. Congress and make it federal one day.

For our student-athletes and families’ sake, let’s hope it comes to fruition as soon as possible.

New York Blood Center (NYBC) is urgently asking blood donors to roll up their sleeves and help rebuild the community’s blood supply. While winter storm Juno may have caused more panic than actual snowfall, shutdowns in roadways and public transportation led to a mass cancellation of blood drives across the region between Monday and Thursday as the city prepared for the storm and its aftermath.

NYBC estimates 3,000 scheduled donations have been lost – the largest single loss since Superstorm Sandy.

With nearly 2,000 donations needed each day in New York and New Jersey alone, it is crucial for donors to set aside an hour to donate. Those with O-negative blood type, or “universal donors,” are especially encouraged to donate, as their blood can be used in emergencies. About one in seven hospital admissions requires a blood transfusion, and with a limited shelf life, supplies must be continually replenished. 

Stringer Talks Shop With Community Board 18  City Comptroller Scott Stringer dropped in to say hello to Community Board 18 (CB18) last week and update residents on how he and his office are working to ensure the city is being financially responsible.

“Community boards are truly the centerpiece for where people go to get more involved and more informed on what is going on in their neighborhood,” Stringer said.

The city official said he wanted to lay out some projects he is working on as well as some of the big audits he spearheaded in 2014.

“We did some great things this past year,” he said. “The comptroller ’s office has a unique relationship with the mayor. On one end, we are united and support one another and on the other, it is my duty to audit and take a look at our spendings and challenge the mayor when I need to.”

Stringer touted his recent audit of the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) as a major stepping stone toward a more transparent city. The audit revealed NYCHA squan-

By Tess McRae On January 23rd, the City Council voted to keep the peace by officially recognizing January 15th to 22nd each year as Peace Week in New York City. The proposal, sponsored by Councilman Jumaane Williams and Councilman Robert Cornegy, was unanimously approved. Peace Week was originally created by Erica Ford, founder of LIFE Camp, five years ago but will now be considered an official week of remembrance and service in New York City. Each year, young people involved in Peace Week take a pledge, which reads, “I pledge to make peace part of my everyday life; I pledge to show gratitude to others on a daily basis; I pledge to stop, think smile and breathe before I do things…”

dered $700 million in grants and other funding opportunities because they didn’t apply for them. Those funds, Stringer said, could have been used to improve conditions at certain housing complexes and expedite work orders.

“We also filed an audit against the Department of Education,” Stringer said.

“We found that there were thousands of missing computers that were sitting unpacked in closets. The department couldn’t account for 2,800 computers. In this day and age where a computer is so essential in a child’s education, this is unacceptable.”
