Backed-up sewers befoul street

BY ERIC FAYNBERGAll they want is a newer sewer.

A system of private sewer lines beneath a Sheepshead Bay block has been broken and clogged with sand since super-storm Sandy, and the city re-fuses to help, leaving neighbors to deal with human waste over-fl owing onto their property.

Residents of the block say the city is neglecting what could be a potential health hazard.

“Every time it rains this manhole overfl ows and s--- seeps out all over the court,” said Richard Bowers, who lives right next to a manhole from the private sewer line that his house is not connected to. “I can’t keep my windows open.”

The interior of the block, bordered by Shore Parkway and

Emmons Avenue to the north and south, and Batchelder and Brown streets to the east and west, contains a court formed by three narrow, private streets aligned in the shape of an “H” — Losee Terrace, Gunnison Court, and Stanton Road.

The houses inside the court are connected to two private sewer lines fl owing out onto public lines. Residents say one of the private lines is clogged and the other is broken.

BY DAVID RUSSELLThis was a very different bash at the beach .

Pro wrestlers swapped the steel cage for the batting cage at MCU Park in Coney Island last Wednesday night, taking part in a star-studded softball match before the Cy-clones’ 3–1 win over the Low-ell Spinners.

World Wrestling Enter-tainment stars Ryback, Fan-dango, Eva Marie, and Char-lotte teamed up with other celebrities and members of the city’s fi re and police depart-ments at the annual Celeb-rity-Civil Servants All-Star Challenge, and the grapplers said they were eager to take part — even if they’re more used to slamming other peo-ple than homers.

“I’ve been to a batting cage probably once in the last 10 years,” said WWE diva Charlotte — the daugh-ter of league Hall of Famer Ric Flair.

The rasslers stepped up to the plate and signed auto-graphs to celebrate Brooklyn hosting this year’s Summer-Slam — the league’s second-biggest show of the year — which took place at Barclays Center on Sunday.

Other celebrities taking to the field included “Good Day New York” anchors Greg Kelly and Rosanna Scotto — a Dyker Heights native who led the blue team against Bensonhurst-raised Mets Hall of Famer John Franco’s red team.

Team Scotto ultimately lost 12–7, but Kelly hit an inside-the-park home run for the side and said he was thrilled just to take part.

“I’ll do anything for Rosa-nna and John Franco, which apparently includes losing,” he said.

Kelly, who grew up in Long Island, said spending

the evening in Coney Island brought back fond childhood memories.

“It’s so beautiful and so New York,” he said. “I’ve been on these roller coast-ers. My mother lost her shoe off of that [parachute jump] when she was 16. This is home.”

The celebrity cameos con-tinued at SummerSlam over the weekend at Barclays Center, with comedian Jon Stewart hosting the event — his first public appearance since retiring from “The Daily Show” earlier this month.

She can carry a tune — from World War II to the present.

A singer born just months after her parents were freed from a Nazi concentration camp will per-form love songs made famous during World War II at Fort Hamilton on Aug. 29. “While You’re Away: Love Songs of World War II” commemorates the 70th anniversary of the end of the war, and is the performer’s way of thanking the soldiers who saved her parents, she said.

“I have great joy in doing this program, because how do you thank the people who give you your life back?” said Diane Cypkin, a Brighton Beach resident. “To me, every last soldier came to save my family.”

The singer and college professor says that Western history’s most tumultuous and strife-filled half-decade was a good time for popular music — if nothing else.

“Creativity doesn’t necessarily grow in happiness — it really blooms in misery,” said Cypkin.

The singer has music in her blood. Her father wrote his own love songs — penning original lyrics for well-known tunes — while Nazis kept him prisoner in a ghetto in Kovno, Lithuania, she said.

Cypkin’s family is one of few who survived the camp. Cypkin was born in a United States-run dis-placed persons camp in post-war Germany in 1945, and her family came to Brooklyn in 1949. At first, their adoptive home was a mystery, Cypkin said.

“We came in by boat through Gravesend — the bay — so they came in early morning and they saw all these lights on the Belt Parkway,” she said. “My brother asked what they were and my mother said they were bicycles.”

The family lived with an aunt near Shore Road in Bay Ridge before moving to Bensonhurst and later Brighton Beach, she said. Cypkin — a native Yiddish speaker — learned English in Brooklyn’s public schools, and she began performing in the Yiddish theater scene as a teenager. She appeared on Broadway in the show “Light, Lively, and Yiddish,” and earned a master’s degree from Brooklyn College and a doctorate from New York University. Now she teaches theater and com-munication at Pace University, and has maintained a career in the performing arts.

On Saturday, Cypkin will sing 10 songs by World War II-era musicians, including “La Vie en Rose” by French cabaret singer Edith Piaf, and “The White Cliffs of Dover” from British troop entertainer Dame Vera Lynn.

Diane Cypkin performs “While You’re Away: Love Songs of World War II” at the Ft. Hamilton Army Base Theater (403 General Lee Ave. between MacArthur Road and Pershing Loop in Bay Ridge). Aug. 29 at 7 pm. Free.

Daughter of Holocaust survivors will perform WWII-era love songs

Brooklyn-bound: While she was still a toddler, Diane Cypkin’s family carried this steamer trunk — emblazoned with their destination — from a displaced-persons camp in Germany to the United States. Her parents, Etta and Abraham (inset) were among about 50 survivors of a 35,000-person concentration camp in Lithuania. The photos shown were taken in 1947 after their liberation.

BY ERIC FAYNBERGThis is real Brighton Beach book learning.

A new children’s book is aiming to teach kids the alpha-bet and expand their vocabu-lary by drawing connections to places of interest in Brigh-ton Beach and its surrounding neighborhoods, and its author says “B is for Brighton Beach” puts a different spin on help-ing kids learn through asso-ciation.

“I wanted to develop some-thing that would be a unique product in this genre,” said Mikhail Salita a local educa-tor and former librarian.

The book contains two sto-ries and accompanying illus-trations by Elena Stekacheva for each letter of the alphabet. The stories are fi lled with al-literative phrases that intro-duce students to new vocabu-lary. For example, the letter “A” features stories about Co-ney Island’s New York Aquar-ium and Asser Levy Park, while the letter “Z” references Zuckerman’s Pharmacy, a fi x-ture on the corner of Brighton Beach Avenue and Brighton Seventh Street.

Salita emigrated from the Ukrainian city Odessa to Brooklyn with his family in 1991, and the neighborhood known as “Little Odessa,” Brighton Beach, is the place he visits when he wants to re-lax because it reminds him of his homeland.

“Odessa is a resort beach town,” Salita said. “That’s kind of what Brighton Beach is like. I love to walk on the Boardwalk from Brighton 15th Street to Seagate, feel the sun, the sand, and the ocean. I feel a connection to all of this.”

The author currently works as an early childhood educa-tor at several Southern Brook-lyn day-care centers and pre-schools, but he used to work as a librarian for the Brooklyn Public Library, where he met a renowned Ukrainian-born children’s book author and il-lustrator, Valeri Gorbachev,

who inspired and encouraged Salita to write. Salita also studied at the New York Film Academy, and said this educa-tion helped create the philoso-phy behind his book.

“I want to write books that feel like fi lm,” said Salita. “I originally wrote the stories in this book as scripts, and the illustrator was tasked with bringing the scripts to life.”

Salita’s brother is Dmitriy “Star of David” Salita , a lo-cal boxer and endorser who organizes matches through his company, Star of David Promotions. Mikhail’s fi rst book, the Russian-language rap novel “Golden Gloves,” detailed his brother’s rise in the boxing world through rap-styled rhymes.

BY MAX JAEGEREvery bit helps.

Friends and family of the Sunset Park woman who died in a freak car accident on Aug. 20 are raising money to help raise her toddler son.

The child’s father was driving when the victim died, and police are charg-ing him with drunk driv-ing, manslaughter, and leav-ing the scene — leaving their 2-year-old son Andrew in his grandparents’ care with an uncertain future, a friend of the family said.

“The family isn’t loaded, and now they’re going to have to raise the child, so we really just want to help them out and make sure that little Andrew is taken care of,” said Morgan Ricca-Lucenti, who has been close friends with victim Danielle Aron-sen for 15 years.

Aronsen died after she was fl ung from a car on Fifth Avenue at 11:26 pm on Aug. 20.

Aronsen and her boy-friend were leaving a bar in Bay Ridge that Thursday eve-ning, police said. The boy-friend was driving on Fifth Avenue with Aronsen in the back seat when he turned onto Bay Ridge Parkway, a police report states. The back door was not secured, and Aronsen went fl ying out of the car, hitting her head, of-fi cials said.

Emergency medical ser-vices took Aronsen to Lu-theran Medical Center, where doctors pronounced her dead, police said.

The boyfriend’s attorney could not be reached for com-ment.

Aronsen was a mainstay in the Southern Brooklyn music scene, but lately, her attention was laser-focused on her toddler son, Ricca-Lu-centi said.

“Any cover band that’s in Bay Ridge — I’m sure at least one member knew Danielle,” she said. “In our early years we liked to go out and party. Ever since she had her kid, everything has been about the baby. So lately I’ve been going out to lunch with her and the baby, going shopping with her and the baby.”

Ricca-Lucenti has con-fl icted feelings about the boyfriend, who dated Aron-sen for more than a decade, because she knew the pair quarreled, she said.

“It’s hard not to be an-gry and blame him when I’m reading everything I have,” Ricca-Lucenti said. “[He] was a sweet guy and very helpful, but he could get a little crazy at times. They would fi ght on an off a lot, but nothing like this had ever happened.”

BY MAX JAEGERTalk about a major depression.

Efforts to fi x a giant sinkhole on Fifth Avenue and 64th Street in Sun-set Park will take at least until Novem-ber, and with all cars and pedestrians banned from passing through, resi-dents — who have to walk for blocks to get to a corner they can see from their stoops — are starting to feel the pinch.

“It’s tough, especially if you have kids,” 64th Street resident Diana Castelan said while pushing a stroller. “If they could just open up a path so we can pass, that would be great.”

The pit opened on Aug. 4 and the city quickly closed the street to traf-fi c and opened it up to workers with jack-hammers, pile drivers, and giant drills. Just two weeks in and residents say they are already starting to feel the grind.

“They’re clearly working as quietly as they can, but I haven’t had a good night’s sleep since this began,” said Kathleen Pena, whose Fifth Avenue bedroom overlooks the site. “They’re here 24 hours a day. It’s a pretty con-stant level of noise and light.”

And then there’s access. Fifth Av-enue between 63rd and 65th streets is closed, and 64th street dead-ends be-tween between Fourth and Fifth av-enues.

Still, Pena and Castelan both said they appreciate the fact that work has to be done.

“They’ve gotta do what they’ve gotta do,” Pena said.

Offi cials believe a defective man-hole connecting the sewer to the street formed the chasm, a Department of Environmental Protection spokesman said.

Fixing the street will take months because workers have to replace a 48-inch water main, which requires mov-ing telephone, electric, and gas lines, the department spokesman said.

And that is no easy task, accord-ing to a staffer for Councilman Carlos Menchaca (D–Sunset Park) who says he has been keeping tabs on the proj-ect.

“Its just complicated spaghetti under there,” said David Estrada, Menchaca’s chief of staff.

A phone and internet service out-

age has harried a tax service on the corner, Estrada said.

The tax-preparer said she couldn’t chat when this paper dropped by.

“I’m too behind,” she said.Other businesses seem to be far-

ing better. Bay Ridge Lexus moves 20 cars a day in and out of a lot opposite the hole, and a manager said contrac-tors have been accommodating. Like-wise at the Wash Club laundry ser-vice, which employs delivery vans and fronts the closed street. So far the busi-ness lost water once when the street caved in and for six hours when work-ers shut it off, a manager said.

Busses are now passing through the intersection — the only vehicles al-lowed, Estrada said.

But workers have been drilling a hole, and piling-driving is set to begin soon, he said.

Pena may invest in ear plugs to get a good night’s rest, but for now she just hopes the city shores up the hole, she said.

“As long as it’s safe at the end of the day, I’ll be happy,” Pena said. “This is all just a bummer.”

BY MAX JAEGERIt was America’s original Rain-bow Coalition.

Historians highlighted Af-rican-Americans’ contribu-tions to the U.S. Revolutionary War effort while celebrating the 239th anniversary of the Battle of Brooklyn at the Vet-erans Memorial Pier in Bay Ridge on Aug. 22.

The war’s most famous generals live on in statues and place-names scattered throughout the borough. But black soldiers such as those of “Glover’s Marbleheaders” — one of America’s fi rst racially integrated fi ghting forces — go largely unremembered, even though they played an in-tegral role, a historian said.

“They were the unsung he-roes of the American Revolu-tion,” said Ludger Ballan, a re-enactor and historian with historical group Sable Soldiers of the American Revolution. “They were pretty central in helping General Washington’s army getting safe passage

across the East River.”British troops and Ger-

man mercenaries kicked off the Battle of Brooklyn when they landed at Denyse Wharf on Aug. 22, 1776 — a mere two-mile march from the pier

where historians told their story on Saturday. British troops routed Washington’s men and forced the future fi rst president and the remnants of his army to beat a danger-ous retreat across the river

to Manhattan under cover of darkness, with the help of John Glover’s “web-footed Marbleheaders” — so called for their maritime skills.

But it wasn’t muskets and mastheads last weekend. His-

torians sang sea chanties and played games with kids dur-ing the event, which was or-ganized by the Waterfront Al-liance, the Parks Department, and Councilman Vincent Gen-

68TH PRECINCTBAY RIDGE—DYKER HEIGHTS

Thieving threesomeA trio of twerps robbed a guy on

Seventh Avenue on Aug. 18. The victim was near 74th Street

in Bay Ridge at 1 am when the louts climbed out of an Acura sedan and started tugging on the guy’s shirt. They then went into his pockets and took $400, police said.

The victim told cops that he tried to fi ght back, but the chumps ran to their car and sped off, offi cials said.

Cat-burgledA wretch wriggled through a

Fort Hamilton Parkway window and stole $2,000 sometime overnight on Aug. 19.

The guy climbed through an open kitchen window in the building be-tween 63rd and 64th streets in Dyker Heights sometime between 4 pm and 1 am the next day, police said.

No shameA brazen burglar walked right

through a 66th Street house’s front door sometime between Aug. 20 and 22 — and walked out with cash and jewelry.

The fi end fi lched $750, a gold ring, and a watch from the house between 13th and 14th avenues in Dyker Heights, police said.

Veiled threatsA woman robbed another on

95th Street on Aug. 20 by telling her a man with a gun was sitting in a nearby car.

The victim was between Fourth Avenue and Fort Hamilton Parkway in Bay Ridge at 8:40 when a woman came up to her and said there was a man in a car with a gun, and in-structed her to empty her pockets, police said.

The victim complied, and the thief made off with an iPhone, a blue hooded sweatshirt, a wallet, and $100, offi cials said.

The victim told cops she walked into the lobby of the building be-tween 16th and 17th avenues at 9 pm, at which point the shocker shot her with the stun gun, then snatched her purse and hoofed it out of the building.

The victim chased the cretin around the corner to 64th Street where she was recovered her purse, along with the Taser, with the help

of two witnesses, but the perp fl ed on foot down 16th Avenue towards 65th Street, authorities say. The vic-tim was transported to Maimonides Medical Center with minor injuries, according to a police report.

Door jamA free-wheeling fi end hit a biker

with his car door on McDonald Av-enue on Aug. 21 — then loaded the fallen guy’s bike into the car, along with a wad of cash.

The cyclist was riding near Quen-tin Road at 4:45 pm when a white van pulled up alongside him and a pas-senger opened the side door, knock-ing the guy to the ground, cops say.

The victim got up and saw the trickster putting the bike into the van, authorities say. The victim also told cops he had $3,000 cash missing from his pockets after the incident, according to a police report.

Con-ned A punk forced his way into an

elderly lady’s 61st Street home on Aug. 21 by pretending to be a main-tenance guy, and made her hand over all her jewelry.

The 73-year-old victim told cops she heard the doorbell ring in her home near 17th Avenue at 2:10 pm and opened the door to a man who said he was from the gas company.

The lying creep pointed a gun at the victim’s chest and demanded to come in, and once he was inside or-dered the lady to open all her jew-elry boxes and hand over the gem-stones, then fl ed on foot, according to a police report.

Closet creepCops collared a guy who alleg-

edly broke into an 85th Street home and rifl ed through the victim’s closet on Aug. 23.

The victim told cops he was the bedroom of his home near Stillwell Avenue at 10 pm when he heard his front door being forced open. When he went to investigate, he found the alleged burglar going through his closet, authorities say.

The victim confronted the al-leged sneak, who laid on the fl oor until cops arrived, according to a police report.

Alarmed A burglar broke into a lady’s W.

11th Street home and set off the door alarm on Aug. 23, but seems to have run off without snatching anything.

The guy who reported the crime

told cops he got a call from his mom at 6:20 pm asking him to check out her home at Highlawn Avenue be-cause her alarm was blaring. The guy showed up at his mother’s place to fi nd that the front door had been damaged and forcibly pried open, authorities say. A desk drawer was left open in the foyer, but the re-porter told cops nothing appeared to be missing, according to a police report. — Allegra Hobbs

Purse punksThree unidentifi ed brutes

pushed a 76-year-old woman to the ground on W. 35th Street on Aug. 18 and stole her purse.

The victim told police she was near Mermaid Avenue at 12:15 pm when the three men approached her. They grabbed her purse, but she held onto it, prompting the goons to push her to the ground, police said.

The purse contained $50 and credit and debit cards, said authori-ties. The woman suffered scratches on her right knee, a police report stated.

Lobby beatingPolice arrested two teenagers

who allegedly beat up and robbed a 26-year-old man inside the lobby of a W. 23rd Street apartment building on Aug. 20, authorities reported.

Offi cials said the duo confronted the victim on the fi rst fl oor of the building near Mermaid Avenue at 10:30 pm. The adolescents allegedly punched the victim and stomped on him repeatedly before taking his wallet, which contained $10, a credit card, and a MetroCard, police said.

The victim was left with a gash on his lower lip and bruises on his forehead and left knee, according to police.

Steak knife stick-upA mugger armed with a steak

knife robbed a teenager of his money and his cellphone’s identifi -cation card on Neptune Avenue in broad daylight on Aug. 20.

The 15-year-old victim told au-thorities that he was near W. 24th Street just before 3 pm when the man approached him waving the kitchen utensil and said, “give me everything in your pockets.”

The teen handed the crook $15

and his cellphone, but the brigand removed the phone’s card, gave the device back to the kid and took off, cops reported.

Green card goneAn unidentifi ed bandit broke

into a W. Eighth Street apartment and stole a woman’s green card, passport, and watch on Aug. 16.

The woman told police she re-turned to her home near Neptune Avenue at 5 pm and found the door ajar and the lights on. The items, which had been left on the kitchen table, were all gone, according to the statement the woman gave po-lice. The woman told offi cials she believes her door had been locked.

Epic failCops cuffed a man on Aug. 16 who

they say tried to ransom a cellphone that had been stolen from the owner in Coney Island three days prior.

The victim, an 18-year-old man, told police that his phone had been stolen on Aug. 16, but that he re-ceived a call on Aug. 19 at approxi-mately 9 pm claiming that the phone would be returned for $200.

The defendant allegedly told the victim that he would be at the cor-ner of Neptune Avenue and W. 24th Street wearing a T-shirt with the number three, said authorities.

Instead of the victim meeting the suspect at the agreed-upon location at 9:30 pm, the cops showed up and promptly arrested the suspect, ac-cording to a police statement.

BY COLIN MIXSONIt is Brooklyn’s secret garden.

Sunset Park’s Bush Ter-minal Piers Park has been open for almost a year, but lo-cals say the scenic waterfront green space is so hard to fi nd amidst the industrial wilder-ness of First Avenue, the only reliable way to discover it is through word-of-mouth.

“Somebody has to tell you about it,” said Tommy Ba-tista, a neighborhood teen who found out about the park through a friend. “You can’t just walk around and fi nd it.”

The park, located between 43rd and 51st streets, offers soccer and baseball fi elds, a bi-cycle path and esplanade, and two saltwater tidal ponds — not to mention a gorgeous pan-oramic view of the Upper Bay and a picturesque vantage of the Statue of Liberty, Man-hattan, Staten Island, and the New Jersey shoreline.

But many Sunset Parkers have never caught a glimpse of the bounty in their own back-yard, say locals.

Several massive industrial

structures obscure the park from foot and vehicle traf-fi c along First Avenue — all of them housed inside a vast, eight-block lot surrounded by razor-wire and signs warn-ing that “Trespassers will be

prosecuted to the fullest ex-tent of the law.”

And it isn’t visible from its single entrance, located at 43rd Street and First Avenue, which is fl anked by chain-linked fences, factory ware-houses, and a private security check-point.

The lucky few who have found the park say it is a green oasis amidst the brick and con-crete industrial landscape.

“It’s a s----- area to walk around in, so [the park] is re-ally nice to have,” said Shira Entis, who co-owns Fleabags handbags company on 44th Street and learned of the park through her United Parcel Service driver.

But the garden was never intended as a private sanctu-ary.

Sunset Parkers began de-manding a waterfront park for the neighborhood in the ’90s, and the city eventually agreed to build them one on the long-abandoned Bush Terminal piers — former brownfi eld sites that city, state, and fed-eral agencies then spent more

than 20 years and $38 million on cleaning-up and transform-ing into parkland.

The city fi nally opened the park in November last year, but its work isn’t done, says one local offi cial — it still needs to make sure locals can actually fi nd and access the park.

“Has enough been done? No,” said Jeremy Laufer, dis-trict manager of Community Board 7, which encompasses Sunset Park.

Laufer says he has asked the city’s Economic Devel-opment Corporation, which built the park, to work with

Introducing ZERONA® LipoLaser — removes fat without surgery, pain or wounds. ZERONA® is a new body-sculpting procedure designed to remove fat and contour the body without invasive surgery. ZERONA® allows you to continue your daily activities without interruptions from surgery, pain or wounds. ZERONA® works by utilizing the Low Level Laser (FDA cleared for laser body contouring to emulsify fat which then releases into the

interstitial space. The excess fat is passed through the body during its normal course of detoxification. The ZERONA® procedure was proven through a double-blind, randomized, multi-site, and placebo controlled study in which patients average loss of 3.64 inches, and some lost as much as 9 inches compared to the placebo group that lost only half an inch.

REDUCE FAT... REMOVE INCHES...“What if I told you this cutting-edge device could melt inches off your waist and keep them off for good.” — Doctor Oz talking about the ZERONA® LipoLaser

What you can expect: Our patients lose an average of 8–9 inches from the waist, hips and thighs and reduction in clothes size in 2 weeks. This is not a quick weight loss program — we are targeting adipose tissue and not taking off excess water weight. Results vary individually.

clogged and broken sewers over-fl ow when it rains, sending their foul contents spilling onto peo-ple’s property, and one woman even had raw sewage seep into her home during a particularly strong storm.

Block residents have con-tacted several elected offi cials and city agencies since Sandy — including the Build It Back pro-gram — but the city has washed its hands of the problem, saying it is only responsible for replac-ing public sewer lines, not pri-vate ones.

A section of the New York City Administrative Code states that “it shall be the duty of the Department of Environmental Protection to control, maintain, supervise and repair, and to in-spect periodically, private sewers or drains as defi ned in subdivi-sion a hereof, provided, however, that the department shall have no obligation or duty to replace or reconstruct any such sewer or drain. The cost of such control, main-tenance, supervision, repair and in-spection shall be borne by the city, within the amounts duly appropriated therefor.”

Residents say that when workers from the Department of Environmen-tal Protection came to take a look last summer, they said there was nothing they could do. A department spokes-man said that the agency is respon-sible for the operation, maintenance and repair of city-owned sewers, but that private sewer lines must be main-tained by their owners.

Sandy damaged many of the homes on the block, and some have been abandoned. A few of the court’s resi-dents tried to pay to fi x the clogged pipe, spending $1,200 to have the sew-age sucked out of one of the pipes, but a fi nancial dispute with the contractor halted the project. Paying to have the entire private sewer fi xed is an option that most cannot afford.

Residents like Bowers, whose homes are not on the private line but are still affected by the backup and nasty smells, say they have no inter-est in taking legal action against their neighbors.

“We’re all working class people here,” said Bowers, a cab driver who has lived in his house his entire life.

“There are a lot of people here who had their homes destroyed by Sandy and there are people here who live pay-check-to-paycheck. I know they can’t pay for this. The city needs to help us out.”

Build It Back and Councilman Chaim Deutsch (D–Sheepshead Bay) plan to hold a stakeholders meeting in a few weeks to discuss the recovery program’s plans to elevate and rebuild coastal Sheepshead Bay homes like they are currently doing in Gerritsen Beach , and locals hope to discuss their Sandy-related sewer problems as well.

A Build It Back spokesman said that such private sewer lines were in-stalled decades ago when many coastal properties were vacation bungalows, and were not designed for the kind of daily use they are receiving now.

Build It Back plans to make changes to the existing infrastructure, includ-ing sewage, and is likely to tackle all of the block’s issues at once because of the tight-fi t nature of the homes. But no start date has been set yet, and the notion of another meeting failed to ex-cite one of the affected homeowners.

“Another meeting?” asked Mike Rodriguez, a semi-retired school cross-ing guard. “We’ve been doing this for three years. All you can do is try and laugh it off, but it’s not funny when you have to stand here after it rains.”

BY ALLEGRA HOBBSBensonhurst revelers feasted and celebrated the neighbor-hood’s Italian heritage at the 40th-annual 18th Avenue Feast, a cherished borough tradition that kicked off on Aug. 20 and will rage on through Aug. 30.

The feast is a spin-off of a centuries-old Sicilian ritual honoring St. Rosalia, the pa-tron saint of the town of Pal-ermo, and every year the Bensonhurst fest draws huge crowds with its food, rides, live music, and rich tradition.

“My family used to take me when I was a kid,” said Miranda Giannone, a long-

time Bensonhurst resident who brought her two children to the feast. “So we’re just car-rying on tradition.”

Feasters perusing the ven-dors stretching between 68th and 75th Streets enjoyed au-thentic Italian treats includ-ing decadent Zeppoles — fried dough covered in powdered sugar — but also feasted on some more American street fare, such as fried Oreos.

An assortment of carnival-style rides and games kept the little ones entertained, while the grown-ups took in the street’s sights and treats.

“I took my son out to the

festival so he can go on some of the rides — that’s his favorite thing to do,” said Peter Kapsa-lis, whose 5-year-old son Ste-ven loved whirling around in both the carousel and a spin-ning ride reminiscent of the Disneyland teacups.

Giannone said the old-school festival, which will cul-minate in a procession honor-ing St. Rosalia on Sunday, is a great way to bring the commu-nity together over good food and fun.

“We see a lot of our neigh-bors at the feast because we live right in the area,” she said.

BY MAX JAEGERThey’re sending in the tree-in-forcements.

The city wants to plant half a dozen new street trees on a Dyker Heights block — the lat-est coup in the age-old war be-tween Brooklyn homeowners and city trees. The news came as an unpleasant surprise to locals who say they’re already besieged by bark-clad battal-ions that are destroying their homes and yards.

Tree roots have rent side-walks asunder, upheaved once-placid lawns, and fl ooded homes by clogging sewer pipes, locals said. And the city plays residents for saps, quartering the trees on public property while forcing neighboring ho-meowners to pay for arboreal collateral damage, one home-owner said.

“These are the kinds of things that homeowners have to endure when you have trees that are not maintained by the city,” Donna Dottavio, who owns a home near the cor-ner of 11th Avenue and 79th Street. “They can put in what-

ever they want, but they don’t maintain them. All the fi nan-cial repercussions lie on the homeowner. I can’t see how they’re gonna put another tree to do more damage to our homes.”

Dottavio had to pay plumb-ers about $2,000 in March when her basement fl ooded af-

ter roots from a city street tree wrought havoc on her sewer pipes, she said. The plumber told her the fl ood was caused by toilet paper getting tan-gled in roots that had pierced her clay sewer pipes, Dottavio said. Now she and her hus-band have to put all their used toilet tissue in trash cans — a practice that keeps them from inviting many people over, she said.

“There’s no way I’m having people in my house,” she said. “How am I gonna have people in my house and tell them they can’t fl ush the toilet paper?”

Now the city wants to plant a new tree next door — in front of Dottavio’s mother’s house and the driveway they share. Spray-painted markings indi-cate the tree pit will be right next to their gas and sewer lines, and Dottavio’s mother fears the new tree will mount a scorched-earth assault on her home.

“This thing eventually will tear into my sewer line and also my gas line,” said Mil-

Dyker residents see new street trees as arboreal assault

Root of the problem

This fall, the NYU School of Professional Studies (NYUSPS), a leader in profes-sionally focused education, will offer a new, affordable op-tion of study that will provide individuals who have earned a high school degree with the opportunity to acquire indus-try focused skills that will prepare them for jobs in fields with growing levels of em-ployment.

New Diplomas, offered through NYUSPS Profes-sional Pathways, are designed as immersive programs of study that can be completed in as little as one semester. Taught by industry profes-sionals, the Diplomas are complemented by online ca-reer development modules that help students to identify and to pursue jobs in their area of interest.

During Fall 2015, four Di-plomas will be offered—Basic Project Management, Medi-cal Coding, Real Estate Sales, and Restaurant Op-erations and Guest Service.

The one-semester Diploma in Basic Project Manage-ment readies students for a career in this exploding field by equipping them with an in-depth understanding of the essential terminology and the application of the basic tools, techniques, and practices re-quired to become an effective project team member.

Developed in collaboration with the NYU Langone Medi-cal Center, the four-semester Diploma in Medical Coding teaches students how to com-pile, process, and maintain medical records by becom-ing proficient in ICD-9 and/or ICD-10 (for those who elect to enroll in the ICD-10 option) medical coding; to use and ap-ply medical terminology; and to understand human anat-omy and physiology.

The Diploma in Real Es-tate Sales is geared for high school graduates who are in-terested in securing entry-level positions in real estate sales, rentals, or property management. This one-semes-

ter program allows students to explore topics that include real estate finance and con-tracts, license law and regula-tions, valuation process and pricing properties, real estate legal issues, and more. Upon completion of this diploma, students will be prepared to take the New York State Real Estate Salesperson’s Exam.

The Diploma in Restau-rant Operations and Guest Service will provide students with a comprehensive under-standing of front-of-house and back-of-house restaurant op-erations, and what it takes to succeed in the food and bev-erage industry. Students in this one-semester, in-person program of study will benefit from site visits to NYC restau-rants and will learn from the experiences of industry vet-erans.

Some programs are of-fered in blended formats (on-line and on-site) to suit the needs of those who are jug-gling work and family obliga-tions. Each program of study

provides students with a tan-gible take-away project that can be added to their résumé and presented to prospective employers.

All Diplomas will provide industry specific career mod-ules presented online in a self-paced format. These modules include lectures, videos, and interactive exercises to help students better understand the job market. Upon comple-tion of their diploma, students

also will have access to an on-line portal featuring job post-ings and a resource library. Annual networking events will provide opportunities to meet with peers and employ-ers in the field.

BY ALLEGRA HOBBSA Kensington teen charged with mur-dering his allegedly abusive father will walk out of his Rikers Island cell and return back to school after a judge granted the 19-year-old bail last Friday, which his lawyer says is a huge win for the teen and his family so early in the court proceedings.

“Everyone is happy,” said attorney Michael Cibella. “The mother is be-side herself happy — her son is coming home.”

A grand jury indicted Hassan Raz-zaq with murder three weeks ago, after he allegedly fatally stabbed his father Mohammad, who Cibella claims physi-cally and sexually abused the teen and his siblings for years and had been on an hours-long rampage the night he died

Family members, who have rallied around Razzaq in the wake of the in-cident by wearing and selling T-shirts that read “#FreeHassanRazzaq,” claim he acted in self-defense .

Cibella last Friday entered a plea of not guilty on behalf of his client and made an impassioned appeal to Brook-lyn Supreme Court Judge Neil Firetog to grant bail, arguing that Razzaq — who appeared before the court via a video call from Rikers — would never fl ee knowing he has a life in Brooklyn that will go on after the trial.

“He has every intention and every reason to come back to court,” he said.

Cibella cited Razzaq’s reputation as a good student and a conscien-tious community member, saying one Kingsborough Community College professor placed him in the top 10 stu-dents of his 18-year career, and that he had signed up to do community ser-vice at the school just two days before his arrest.

Firetog set bail at $1 million, which Razzaq’s family members insured by

signing on their salaries and assets, and the judge okayed the package on the condition that Razzaq wear an an-kle monitor and stay confi ned to Brook-lyn, except for visits to Cibella’s offi ce in Manhattan and to appointments with a forensic psychiatrist and physician.

Razzaq faces up to 25 years behind bars if convicted, but Cibella says this is just the latest ordeal in a decade-long nightmare for the teen and his family members, who he claimed suffered for years the hands of their father in their “house of horrors.”

“He’s been in prison his entire life, in essence,” said Cibella. “They all have.”

Cibella says Razzaq, who will re-sume classes at Kingsborough in the fall, has a long road ahead as he contin-ues to fi ght the charges leveled against him, but the attorney remains hopeful that evidence brought to light over the course of the trial will be in his corner.

“The full story will come out and the right results will be reached,” he said.

BY ALLEGRA HOBBSThis lady wants kids to play in their food — their organic, sustainable, locally-sourced food.

A Park Slope clothing de-signer has created a line of children’s knitwear inspired by the produce aisles at the neighborhood’s iconic grocery co-op where she gathers her own fruits and veggies.

Sloper Sophie Demenge of earthy Gowanus kidswear company Oeuf was surveying the Park Slope Food Co-op’s healthy spread on one of her regular outings to the market, when she was struck with the idea to knit the organic goods into sweaters and hats for tots,

according to a spokesperson.“She really loves the food

co-op,” said Oeuf spokes-woman Rachel Wepler. “She was at the co-op and thought, ‘We should do a whole collec-tion on food.’ ”

The collection, called Food-ilicious, serves up a cuddly buffet of egg berets ($70), egg-plant pants ($104), carrot hats ($60), asparagus scarves ($100), and sweaters emblazoned with the word “kale” ($110), many hand-knitted with wool shorn from baby alpacas, according to the company.

Some co-op members find the fair-trade foodie duds a little unappetizing, claim-ing they push the quirk-fac-

tor too far. “I wouldn’t dress my kids

in that,” said Parker Lutz, who has a 3-year-old and 6-year-old. “The egg hat is cute — but it’s a little too cute.”

But others are delighted

by the collection — one co-op shopper said she would hap-pily plop the sunny-side-up cap on her 1-year-old’s head.

“My husband would prob-ably kill me, but I would,” said Ella Brians.

other city agencies to install an additional entrance and signs of-fering directions for park-goers. But the Department of Trans-portation, which is re-sponsible for the sig-nage, says it hasn’t received any official requests from the cor-poration.

But some users would happily keep the park on the down-low. The hand-ful of organized sports

clubs that have caught wind of the waterfront recreational area say space there is never an issue.

“We don’t really have to worry about sharing,” said Neomi Vasquez, who coaches the AC Brooklyn International soccer team and learned of the park through her boss.

Others are only bothered by the park’s short hours — it closes at 8 pm during the sum-mer, and earlier during other seasons — and the lack of facilities for

young children.“I’ve got four daugh-

ters,” said Yuval Due-nyas, a Staten Island res-ident whose construction business often brings him to Sunset Park. “A playground would be nice.”

But he also loves hav-ing the parkland almost to himself.

“I walk around here all the time, and I only just found it,” said Duenvas, who found out about the park through an employee. “It’s al-ways nice and it’s never crowded.”

be safe.Workers plant trees

at least two feet from gas and sewer lines, and the Parks Department now digs larger tree pits to encourage roots to grow downward rather than outward, a spokeswoman said. The city hasn’t de-termined what species of tree it will install along 11th Avenue, she said. Residents can log sugges-tions, but Parks makes the fi nal call, because it has to maintain the plants, a spokeswoman said.

Another neighbor fears roots from trees planned in front of her home will tear up her ex-pensive sidewalk heat-ing system.

“It was costly for us to

put it in, and for them to say all the sudden, ‘we’re gonna put in trees’ — what about my pipes?” said Staci Anthoulis, whose sidewalk along 78th Street and 11th Av-enue is embedded with hot-water pipes to melt winter snow.

Man has been locked in a tug-of-war with trees for terrestrial suprem-acy from time immemo-rial, but the war heated up after Hurricane San-dy’s salty fl ood waters killed the root systems of thousands of Brooklyn’s street trees. Since then, undead “ zombtrees ” have been dropping limbs on unsuspecting residents at an alarming rate.

The city botched its tree-trimming program in 2012 and 2013, barber-ing baby arbors while letting old growth go un-trimmed, a Comptrol-

ler’s report found last year .

Not everyone on the Dyker block says that in-stalling new trees is the root of all evil. The trees may cause homeowners headaches, but they also make the block pretty and increase property values, one neighbor said.

“What’s the fi rst thing you look for in a real estate listing? ‘Tree-lined block,’ ” said An-gelo Sciascia, who wants a tree but can’t have one because there’s a power pole in front of his house. “Do they break up the concrete? Yeah. So does snow.”

Residents can suggest tree species and alert the Parks Department about sidewalk heating sys-tems by calling the Parks Department’s borough offi ce at (718) 965–8900 or by calling 311, a spokes-woman said.

BY MAX JAEGERAll the Ridge’s a stage!

A theater troupe put on Shakespeare’s “A Mid-Summer Nights Dream” at Owl’s Head Park on Aug. 23. Most of the play’s action goes down in an enchanted wood, so producers didn’t need to worry about building a backdrop for the action, because Owl’s Head is plenty en-chanting, the director said.

“Owl’s Head Park is a set in and of itself — its such a beautiful, fl exible space,” said di-rector Gianna Cioffi of performing arts group BrooklynOne Productions.

Indeed, the seemingly pared-down produc-tion was more akin to what audiences would have seen in the Bard’s time, when backdrops were minimal and characters’ lines indicated their surroundings, Cioffi said.

“In Shakespeare’s era they really wouldn’t have had any major sets — they relied on cos-tumes and props,” she said. “Everything’s in the words for Shakespeare anyway — every-thing gets described so well.”

The production marks BrooklynOne’s third foray into the park. The company performed a Shakespeare medley in 2013, and last year it put on “Rome and Juliet,” Cioffi said.

This go-around, the troupe performed “A Mid-Summer Nights Dream” because it is one of Shakespeare’s most well-known comedies, and Cioffi made some edits in an effort to ren-der the more-than-400-year-old play more ac-

cessible for modern audiences and theatrical fi rst-timers.

“We were trying to fi nd something that people would be familiar with,” she said. “We scrambled some of the scenes to put an empha-sis on magic in the play and focused on things appealing to children.”

“I do a lot with children — usually because I’m doing

And keeping kids inter-ested is key, because they may not learn this history anywhere else — Swindell sure didn’t, she said.

“The history that we are teaching — black history — some of the things I didn’t even know before I joined,” Swindell said.

BACK TO SCHOOL

E ach school year brings new opportunities. At-tending a new school

can involve some butterfl ies as kids acclimate to their new classmates and teachers, but the transition from grade school to high school is typi-cally one of the more dramatic transitions students have to make.

Starting high school can be an overwhelming experi-ence full of change, but there are many ways for students to ease this transition:

Take part in high-school

orientation. Orientations help students acclimate to their new surroundings. Ori-

entation sessions can provide insight on coursework and help kids learn about the cam-pus and any amenities it pro-vides. Learning the layout of the school in advance can help calm any fi rst-day jitters stu-dents may encounter.

Arrive prepared. Make sure all summer assignments are completed so you start off on the right foot. Unprepared students are likely to be appre-hensive.

Adjust to new sleep-wake

schedules. Summer vacation may have been fi lled with late nights and sleepy mornings, but now that school will begin anew, it’s time for students to

gradually readjust their sched-ules. That will make it easier to wake up for school. Many high schools begin the day earlier than grammar schools and middle schools. It may take a few weeks to grow ac-customed to the earlier hours, so start waking up earlier as the summer winds down.

Plan to arrive with

friends. Seeing familiar faces can help students feel more secure. High schools tend to be larger than grade schools and include kids from various neighborhoods, but chances are your friends will be attend-ing the same school as you. Carpool with friends during

the fi rst week of school so your fi rst steps on campus are with friends.

Enroll in a mentoring

program. Some high schools pair freshmen with upperclass-men so younger students can learn the ropes of the school. New students can benefi t from these personalized guides and should feel comfortable asking questions about teachers and school protocol.

Participate in clubs and

extracurricular activities. Another way to feel more com-fortable at a new school is to participate in activities. High schools offer numerous extra-curricular activities that cater

to an array of interests. Band, choir, sports teams, debate teams, student government, and foreign language clubs are just a few examples of en-joyable extracurricular activi-ties. Joining such groups can introduce you to like-minded students.

Arrive to class on time.

Teachers may be more lenient the fi rst few weeks of school, but over time they will expect students to learn their sched-ules and arrive to class on time. Students can make ar-rangements with friends to share lockers or employ other strategies to make it easier to get to class on time.

BACK TO SCHOOL

T oday’s college students are busier than ever before. Tuition hikes and higher costs of living have

forced many college students to work part-time jobs in addition to their full-time jobs as students.

In addition to the need to work, col-lege students are also embracing ex-tracurricular activities in an attempt to make themselves stand out in an in-creasingly competitive post-college job market.

While that ability to multi-task might one day prove attractive to prospective employers, it’s an ability many students must learn. Time is of-ten a commodity for college students, and managing time effectively can make the difference between a suc-cessful student and one who is over-whelmed by stress.

Learn to prioritize. For some col-lege students, the weekend is the ulti-mate priority. Though this might be a recipe for fun, it’s not a recipe for suc-cess. Prioritizing both academic and social commitments is a very impor-tant step for students looking to man-age time more effectively.

First and foremost, school should be a student’s top priority. After stud-ies, it’s up to a student to choose what’s the next most important priority. This is often very diffi cult, as colleges typ-ically offer a bevy of activities to stu-dents. Socializing is an important as-pect of college life, but students must be careful not to place socializing too far up on the totem pole of their pri-orities. When prioritizing, it’s best to keep in mind that education comes fi rst. Keep school and school-related activities high on the list of priorities.

Don’t over-extend. Many students

love college for the very reason that there is so much to do. In an effort to ensure all students make the most of their college experiences, colleges and universities provide many different avenues by which students can express themselves and become a part of the college community’s fabric. However, with all those activities, it’s easy for college kids to go overboard and over-commit themselves. Attempting to do too much can lead to feelings of stress and burnout, often resulting in poorer academic performance. When man-aging time, college students should schedule some daily time to relax and take a breather.

Keep a planner. Daily planners might seem very adult, but they’re also very practical. Students with academic, extracurricular and social commit-ments should write things down in a daily planner to help keep their heads from spinning. Larger things, like mid-term exams or research papers, don’t need to be included in a daily planner. But smaller details that tend to get lost in the shuffl e should be written down to help students stay on track and make the most of all of their commitments.

Stay as fl exible as possible. While today’s busy college students might scoff at the suggestion that they stay fl exible, fl exibility is an important ele-ment of time management. Few plans ever go off without a hitch, no matter how well planned they are. Something unexpected tends to pop up around every corner. By remaining fl exible with their time, students are putting themselves in positions to better han-dle these unexpected surprises, be it a sickness, a computer crash, car trou-bles, etc.

Time management is a skill all college students must learn in order to ensure their suc-cess.

I n the not-so-distant past, scien-tifi c calculators were the most technologically advanced

school supplies students needed. But today’s students rely on tech-nology more than ever. Thanks to mobile phones, e-readers and portable computer tablets, the average student’s back-to-school shopping list often includes at least one electronic device. But with such technological advances comes a higher price tag for sup-plies.

Electronics can range from the affordable to the very expensive, and the most expensive product is not always the best. Here’s how to shop smart for electronic school supplies:

Think about how the device

will be used. Will your son or daughter be typing term papers or putting together reports? If so, a device that has a word process-ing function will be necessary. Al-

though many e-readers and tablets have apps that function as word-processors, such apps won’t be as comprehensive as more tradi-tional word processing software. And unless the student has an ex-ternal keyboard for typing, using a touchscreen can be cumbersome when producing lengthy assign-ments. Some tablets also need to be connected to a wireless printer in order to print documents.

Educate yourself. Go on-line and read everything you can about the various devices avail-able. Some parents who aren’t tech savvy may quickly learn that there is an entirely new vocabulary with regards to technology and it pays to be informed. Having the infor-mation at the ready and being able to discuss what you want from a given product with a store em-ployee will make you less likely to spend extra money on things that you probably don’t need, such as

accessories or upgrades.Comparison shop. Electron-

ics are big business, and different retailers provide different deals. For example, one retailer may not offer as good a warranty plan or tech-support as another. Compare apples to apples when comparison shopping to fi nd the best deal. Do not be bashful about bringing in a competitor’s price to a particular store you like and asking for it to match a lower price. Many stores will do so to keep your business.

Consider a refurbished

item. Manufacturers like Apple offer refurbished items that are backed with the same warranty as fresh-out-of-the-box merchan-dise. Because these machines were rebuilt, the cost is consid-erably lower than buying new. Also, refurbished equipment is usually thoroughly tested be-fore it is shipped out to a new owner.

P articipation in high-school sports programs is a favor-ite activity among many

high-school students. In many instances, scholastic sports sea-sons mirror the schedules of pro-fessional sports leagues, although the school seasons are often shorter.

Thousands of students par-

ticipate in the different athletic programs offered by schools ev-ery year. The following scholas-tic sports schedule applies to most school districts, but athletes in waiting might want to consult their schools just to be sure.

Football: Just like the NFL, football tends to be a fall and win-ter sport. The season may being

shortly after the start of school and last through November.

Baseball: This is a spring sport that will start around late March or early April and continue through the rest of the school year. Some teams even play after school is out for the year.

Basketball: This is another fall into winter sport. It could start in October and stretch to February if the school makes it into the playoffs.

Outdoor track and fi eld: Seasons traditionally start in the early spring, such as March. The season will run into May or the end of the school year.

Hockey: This is a winter sport, which usually begins around No-vember and may run through March of the following year.

Many other scholastic sports are scheduled according to the school and may not have desig-nated seasons. These include vol-leyball, swimming and cheerlead-ing. In general, these sports will be coordinated based on when funding is available.

Female engineers and organiza-tions such as the Asia Pacifi c Economic Cooperation and

the Institute of Electrical and Elec-tronics Engineers want women choosing a course of study and po-tential career path to consider sci-entifi c fi elds — like engineering. Here are some of the many reasons female students should think about pursuing a career in engineering:

Design and innovate“Engineering jobs are involved

with the invention, design and manufacture of products and sys-tems,” says Dr. Irena Atov, chair of Institute’s Women in Engineering and technical manager at Telstra, a network architecture reliability group.

Essentially, engineers apply the principles of science and math-ematics to develop economical so-lutions to technical problems. “Ev-erything you use, everywhere you go in the man-made environment has its basis in engineering.”

Play with technologyTechnology isn’t just for catch-

ing up on social networking or trading e-mails. At the crux of en-gineering are technologies used to design, produce, test, and simu-late how a machine, structure, or system operates. You can actually “play” with the concepts that you are developing before they are put to market.

Science can liberateThere’s something empowering

about a career in a fi eld that has such widespread touch, impact and relatability.

“Engineering is such an in-teresting fi eld in that every day when you go to work you can cre-ate things you never thought pos-sible — a true way to follow your dreams,” says Atov.

Additionally, the talent pool provided by female engineers is growing and women can bring a new perspective to the fi eld and its social force.

Hands-on work in different specialties

For those who love to get inside a problem and work toward a so-

lution, engineering has multiple fi elds of interest to pursue. Engi-neering pervades so many subsets that there are dozens of specialized concentrations within this fi eld of study.

In fact, according to the U.S. Bu-reau of Labor Statistics, there are 17 engineering specialties recog-nized by the Federal Government’s Standard Occupational Classifi -cation system. These include: ag-ricultural engineers, biomedical engineers, civil engineers, com-puter engineers, environmental engineers, and nuclear engineers, among others. Individuals inter-ested in a specifi c area of study can likely fi nd an engineering spe-cialty that works in conjunction with that fi eld.

P arents often note that kids seem to grow like weeds. Pants that once reached to the tops of a youngster’s feet quickly become

too short, while once-loose shirts may soon be-come too snug. Many parents fi nd themselves regularly in children’s clothing departments stocking up on the basics, which can put quite a dent in already stretched-thin budgets.

Children’s wardrobes are added to at vari-ous times of the year, but the bulk of shop-ping occurs just before the school year begins. Though clothing can be expensive, families need not bust their budgets when shopping for kids’ clothing. By shopping smart and concen-trating on fashion staples, it’s easier to stretch money further.

Spread out purchases. Shopping early al-lows parents to make the most of sales. Warm weather clothing generally goes on sale in July to make room for new fall lines. Consid-ering the fi rst few months of school still may be warm, short-sleeved shirts will still have utility and are generally less expensive than sweaters and sweatshirts.

Staggering purchases also enables parents to develop a clothing allowance each and every month instead of having one large bill at a cer-tain point in the year. Parents can even add to their children’s wardrobes during the holiday season, when clothes tend to get reduced again for holiday sales.

Don’t discount hand-me-downs. It’s trendy to recycle clothing and also to be envi-ronmentally conscious by putting items to good use again and again. Aside from you and your wallet, no one will know if your child is wear-ing a secondhand pair of pants or a brand-new pair. Many school moms are anxious to swap clothing with others to lessen their own fi nan-cial burdens with children’s clothing.

In the United States, one in six men can expect to be diagnosed with prostate

cancer, while there is a one in seven chance that a Cana-dian man will be diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point during his lifetime.

Those elevated incidence rates could be a byproduct of an aging population, as age is a signifi cant risk factor for prostate cancer. According the Prostate Cancer Founda-tion, one in 10,000 men under age 40 will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. That fi gure skyrockets to one in 38 for men between the ages of 40 to 59, and one in 15 for men in their 60s.

Though age is perhaps the most signifi cant risk factor, it’s not the only thing that in-creases a man’s risk for pros-tate cancer. In fact, there are a host of factors in addition to age that increase a man’s risk for prostate cancer, which the Canadian Cancer Society says will claim the

lives of more than 4,000 Ca-nadian men this year.

One such risk factor is where a man lives. Men who live in rural China, for in-stance, have a relatively low risk of developing prostate cancer during their lifetime. That risk is only two percent if a man stays in rural China his entire life. But that risk increases signifi cantly if a Chinese man moves to the West, where a man in the United States has a 17 per-cent chance of developing prostate cancer.

And not only does which country a man lives in play a role, but also the location of his home within that coun-try’s borders can elevate the risk. Men who live in cities north of 40 degrees latitude (north of Philadelphia, Pa.; Columbus, Ohio; and Provo, Utah) have the highest risk of dying from prostate can-cer, and researchers feel this is because men who live in such cities get less sunlight

during the winter months and therefore less vitamin D.

Race is another risk fac-tor for prostate cancer. Asian men have the lowest risk of developing prostate cancer, while African-American men are 60 percent more likely to develop the disease than Caucasian men. The PCF notes that African-American men are also 2.5 times more likely to die from the disease, which highlights the impor-tance that African-American men must place on screen-ings.

Family history also plays a role in a man’s risk for de-veloping prostate cancer. Men whose fathers or broth-ers have had prostate cancer are twice as likely to develop the disease. Their risk in-creases even more if their fa-thers or brothers were diag-nosed with the cancer before reaching the age of 55 or if they had three or more fam-ily members who were di-

African-American men are 60 percent more likely to develop prostate cancer than Caucasian men.

Risk factors for prostate cancer

M any men suffer from an enlarged prostate gland. Because an en-

larged prostate most often af-fects men over the age of 50, many younger men may be unaware of the symptoms of an enlarged prostate. How-ever, identifying warning signs early can lead to an ear-lier diagnosis and a more ef-fective course of treatment.

What is an enlarged prostate?

An enlarged prostate, known as prostatitis or some-times benign prostatic hyper-plasia, or BPH, is the infl am-mation of the prostate. What causes the prostate to expand is largely unknown, but the condition has been linked to a few different factors.

It may occur as a result of a bacterial infection or de-creased immune function. Others fi nd it is the result of weakening muscles. Genetics and the aging process also play a role in prostate enlargement.

According to Prostate.net, men have a 50 percent chance of getting prostatitis in their lifetimes. Since the condition is so common, some believe that all men could eventually have an enlarged prostate if they live long enough.

SymptomsSymptoms of an enlarged

prostate vary in their sever-ity, and a small amount of infl ammation can cause major symptoms and vice versa. Information from the United States National Li-brary of Medicine says less than half of all men with an enlarged prostate actually have symptoms of the dis-ease. Those who do may ex-perience any number of the following:

• Weak or slow urine stream

• Feeling of incomplete bladder emptying

• Increased urinary fre-quency or urgency

• Testicular pain• Pain with ejaculation• Straining to urinate• Continued dribbling of

urine• Stopping and starting

while urinatingFor many men, the in-

creased frequency to visit the bathroom is one of the fi rst

indicators that there may be an issue with the prostate gland. Those who have slept comfortably through the night may now be rising one or two times per night to uri-nate.

Many times an enlarged prostate, which leads to an inability to fully empty the bladder, can trigger uri-nary tract infections. This may compound symptoms and cause additional pain or burning when passing urine, as well as increased urinary urgency.

DiagnosisThe prostate is a walnut-

sized gland located between the bladder and the penis. The prostate secretes fl uid that nourishes and protects sperm, and is responsible for pushing this fl uid into the urethra prior to ejaculation. The prostate gland’s prox-imity to the bladder and the penis is largely what causes the problems with urination. Also, because of the prostate’s location, the single best way to detect enlargement of the gland is through a digital rec-tal examination, or DRE, dur-ing which a doctor will insert his or her fi nger into the rec-tum and feel for the prostate to see if it is enlarged or ten-der. Should there be any in-dication of an abnormality, a prostate-specifi c antigen blood test, or PSA, or an ultra-sound may be suggested.

TreatmentMedical treatment of-

ten helps alleviate the symptoms. A doctor may prescribe alpha-blockers, which relax the muscles around the urethra to help urine flow more freely. If enlargement is due to in-fection, antibiotics could be given. Other medications, such as 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, reduce the level of a certain form of testos-terone called DHT. With less DHT present, the pros-tate shrinks. If medications do not alleviate symptoms, surgery may be necessary. In some cases, an enlarged prostate may be an indi-cator of prostate cancer. A doctor may want to run tests to see if cancer is pres-ent.

Fall can be a problematic time for many people living with asthma and allergies, and it’s not just an outdoor problem. Weed pollen can make its way indoors and carpets can act like a filter that collects indoor allergens, which can trigger asthma and al-lergy symptoms for many adults and kids.

An effective way to remove and control indoor allergens is to have your carpet professionally steam cleaned by Stanley Steemer. Stanley Steemer’s deep cleaning process ef-fectively removes dust, pollen, pet dander and other microscopic pollut-ants that collect in carpet, making your home cleaner and healthier. In fact, Stanley Steemer is the first car-pet cleaning service to be certified asthma & allergy friendly™ by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA).

AAFA is the oldest and largest asthma and allergy patient group in the world and is the leading advocacy organization dedicated to families with asthma and allergies. AAFA’s asthma & allergy friendly™ Certifi-

cation Standard for Professional Car-pet Steam Cleaning recommends get-ting a Certified Professional Steam cleaning every 3-4 months, along with vacuuming 2-3 times a week with a Certified vacuum cleaner.

To earn this Certification, Stan-ley Steemer’s carpet cleaning service underwent extensive scientific test-ing in independent accredited labo-ratories to ensure that it met AAFA’s standards. Stanley Steemer effec-tively removed an average of 94% of common household allergens from the carpets they cleaned, including common household allergens such as dust, pollen, and pet dander.

P rostate cancer is a deadly disease that forms in the tissues of the prostate, a gland in the male re-

productive system that is found below the bladder and in front of the rectum. According to the National Cancer In-stitute, nearly 30,000 American men will lose their lives to prostate cancer in 2014, and roughly 15 percent will be diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point in their life.

Despite its status as a potentially deadly disease, prostate cancer can be beaten. In fact, the the fi ve-year survival rate for men diagnosed with prostate cancer between 2004 and 2010 was 98.9 percent, proving that a prostate cancer diagnosis is not a death sentence. Like many types of cancer, it is most effec-tively treated when discovered in its early stages. For example, the fi ve-year survival rate for patients diagnosed with localized prostate cancer, which describes cancer that is found only in the part of the body where it started, be-tween 2004 and 2010 was 100 percent.

Men are often their own best friends when it comes to fi ghting pros-tate cancer. Men over 50 should speak to their physicians about routine pros-tate cancer screenings, which include the prostate-specifi c antigen test or the digital rectal examination. Men can also learn the signs and symptoms to further improve their chances of surviving a diagnosis:

Early signsProstate cancer does not always

show signs or symptoms in its early stages, and that’s because it tends to be slow-growing. A sign of prostate cancer refers to something that a physician or healthcare professional can observe and

recognize, while a symptom is some-thing that only the person experiencing it can feel. It’s important men recognize that certain symptoms may be caused by other conditions and that the pres-ence of these symptoms does not mean a man has prostate cancer. However, it’s equally important that men who notice symptoms associated with prostate can-cer bring them to the attention of their physicians immediately.

Changes in bladder habits are among the most common symptoms, and these tend to be early indicators of the disease. These changes may include a frequent need to urinate, especially at night; an intense need to urinate; dif-fi culty in starting or stopping the fl ow of urine; inability to urinate; weak and interrupted urine stream; and burning or pain during urination.

Blood in urine or semen and pain-ful ejaculation may also indicate the presence of prostate cancer.

Late signsWhen prostate cancer is not detected

early, it grows larger and may metasta-size, or spread to other organs of the body. This spreading can produce the following late signs and symptoms:

• Bone pain, especially in the back, hips, thighs or neck

• Weight loss• Fatigue• Low red blood cell count (anemia)• Weakness or numbness in the legs

or feet• Loss of bladder or bowel controlThough prostate cancer is a poten-

tially deadly disease, men who priori-tize screening and learn to recognize its signs and symptoms can vastly improve their chances of surviving a diagnosis.

High cholesterol poses a signifi cant threat to human

health, and now there is another reason for men to get their cholesterol levels in check, as high cholesterol has now been linked to increas-ing a man’s risk for pros-tate cancer recurrence.

A recent study funded by the National Institutes of Health linked triglycerides and cholesterol to the recur-rence of prostate can-cer. Among men who underwent surgery for prostate cancer, those with high cholesterol and triglyceride levels in their blood were more likely to develop pros-tate cancer again, says the research.

The study also found that relatively simple changes can greatly re-duce one’s prostate can-cer recurrence risk. Findings suggest that normalization, or even partial normalization, of serum lipid levels among those with an abnormal cholesterol profi le can reduce the risk of prostate cancer recurrence. Men with triglyceride levels of 150 mg/DL or higher were 35 percent more likely to have a prostate cancer

recurrence. Similarly, those with total choles-terol levels above 200 mg/DL were linked to a 9 percent higher recur-rence instance for every 10 mg/DL increase.

Men can take various steps to lower their cho-lesterol, which can be a multi-pronged process, and can work in concert with their physicians to develop an effective plan. The following are some effective ways to lower one’s cholesterol:

Make dietary

changes. Many differ-ent changes to your diet can impact cholesterol levels. Choosing health-ier fats is a start. Instead of eating an abundance of saturated fats, such as those found in red meat and dairy products, se-lect foods with mono-unsaturated fats found in olives and peanuts. Eating whole grains and opting for fruits and veg-etables over meats and refi ned carbohydrates also can lower your cho-lesterol.

Exercise. Moderate daily physical activity can help raise high-den-sity lipoprotein, or HDL, which is often referred to as “good cholesterol.” Such activity also may help lower bad choles-

High cholesterol linked to cancer recurrence

Men previously diagnosed with prostate cancer should know that high cholesterol can increase the risk of re-currence.

terol levels. Lose weight. The

Mayo Clinic advises that losing as little as fi ve to 10 percent of your body weight can help you sig-nifi cantly reduce your cholesterol levels.

Consider niacin. Some studies say nia-cin (vitamin B3) may be

more effective at lower-ing bad cholesterol than medication. Niacin can be found in liver, meat, peanuts and other nuts, and whole grains.

Consider medica-

tion. People who are at a high risk of heart disease and who have poor cholesterol num-

bers may need to take medication. Doctors can work with you to fi nd the right combination of treatment.

Lowering cholesterol has a number of health benefi ts, and preventing prostate cancer recur-rence can now be added to that list.

agnosed with prostate cancer.

Research into pros-tate cancer is ongoing and continues to un-earth new information regarding this poten-tially deadly disease. The PCF notes, for in-stance, that the risk factors for aggressive version of this type of cancer can differ from the risk factors for slow-growing cancers. As a result, risk factors that were once not linked to prostate cancer are now being linked to aggres-sive forms of the dis-ease. Smoking, for ex-ample, might be a risk

factor for aggressive prostate cancer, as is a diet void of vegetables. Neither factor, however, is thought to increase a man’s risk of slow-grow-ing prostate cancer. Ad-ditional risk factors for aggressive prostate can-cer include height (tall men might have an ele-vated risk) and living a sedentary lifestyle.

Many men are aware of the importance of prostate cancer screen-ings. However, few might know that certain factors signifi cantly in-crease their risk for be-ing diagnosed with this potentially deadly dis-ease. More information about prostate cancer is available at www.pcf.org.

It’s not uncommon for younger men’s eyes to glaze over every time they see an advertisement or hear a news story about pros-tate disorders. They may be under the impression that prostate conditions will not start to be a concern for them until later in life.

But while it’s true that the odds of many types of prostate disorders, such as prostate cancer or BPH (an enlarged prostate), increase with age—especially after 50—there is a prostate con-dition to which young and middle-aged men are actu-ally more susceptible than older men: prostatitis.

Prostatitis is an inflam-mation or infection of the prostate, the walnut-sized gland that produces se-

men. The condition can cause a variety of symp-toms, including a frequent and urgent need to urinate and pain or burning when urinating—often accom-panied by pelvic, groin or lower back pain. Other symptoms vary depending on the individual, and may include fever and chills, flu-like symptoms, inability to empty the bladder, ex-cessive urination at night, blood in the urine or pain-ful ejaculation.

“Prostatitis affects mil-lions of men across all age groups—even adolescents,” said Ivan Grunberger, M.D., New York Methodist Hospital’s chief of urology. “The disease is sometimes difficult to identify because the symptoms overlap with those of many other condi-

tions, such as urinary tract infections, bladder infec-tions, bladder cancer, be-nign prostate hypertrophy or prostate cancer. How-ever, younger men with prostatitis often don’t even seek out medical atten-tion in the first place. They may be embarrassed by the symptoms or simply un-aware that those symptoms are the result of a prostate condition for which treat-ments are available. At any age, the sooner a man re-ceives the right treatment to reduce or eliminate the symptoms of prostatitis, the better.”

The diagnostic process for prostatitis involves ruling out conditions that mimic its symptoms, and then determining whether the patient’s prostatitis is

acute or chronic, bacterial or non-bacterial. A digital rectal examination can al-low a urologist to ascertain whether the prostate gland is enlarged and tender. Laboratory tests are then used to evaluate the pres-ence or absence of bacte-ria in the urine or prostate gland fluid. The primary treatment for prostatitis caused by bacteria is anti-biotic medication. Unlike bacterial prostatitis, the exact causes of non-bacte-rial prostatitis are not well-understood, and antibiotics are generally ineffective at treating it. However, the symptoms of non-bacterial prostatitis can usually be relieved with treatments such as chemical agents that help relax the bladder and make urination easier,

pain relievers, muscle re-laxants or physical ther-apy.

“This condition is the most common prostate dis-order impacting men un-der the age of 50,” said Dr. Grunberger. “So matter what your age, if you notice the symptoms of prostatitis, it’s important to seek medi-cal treatment. A precise di-agnosis and the appropri-ate treatment can help keep prostatitis from impacting any man’s quality of life, whether he is about to en-ter college or has just cele-brated his retirement.”

I naccurate results and less than fool-proof detection has lead many health pro-

fessionals to eschew prostate specifi c antigen tests as an in-dicator of prostate cancer. A draft recommendation from the U.S. government said tests should no longer be part of routine screening for men.

Why? According to the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force, evidence indicates there is little, if any, reduc-tion of prostate cancer-related deaths from the tests. Fur-ther research has indicated that tests actually may turn a man’s life upside down by un-necessary stress and surgery for false-positive readings. But there are proponents of the test that say it is still vital in early detection of prostate cancer and enables men to get treatment earlier.

A prostate-specifi c antigen

test measures a protein in the blood, which has a tendency to spike when prostate cancer is present. People who support the test say that it is one of the best practices for male health screenings and that fatalities have dropped 40 percent due to prostate cancer since these tests were introduced 20 years ago.

Opponents say the tests often deliver fl awed results. This has frequently led to over-treatment, stress and anxiety. Furthermore, the test may in-dicate cancer, or it could be de-tecting something much more benign, like an infection or re-cent sexual intercourse. Also, a positive test reading can re-quire a biopsy that takes place through the rectum, which can lead to a number of un-comfortable side effects.

One of the biggest argu-ments against tests is that

they don’t really lower a man’s risk. Prostate cancer is a slow-growing cancer for many men, which may not actually impair a man’s health in his natural lifetime, especially since pros-tate cancer is largely a disease of men in their 60s and older.

The American Cancer So-ciety has not taken sides on the matter. The Canadian Cancer Society has said that the test cannot diagnose can-cer. If your tests are high, more tests are usually needed to determine if you have pros-

tate cancer. They also say some types of prostate cancer grow slowly, may never cause problems, and don’t need to be treated. Finding this type of cancer may lead to unneces-sary treatment that can have side effects.

Some people still believe that prostate-specifi c antigen tests are a good choice in prostate cancer detection. Others say they can lead to false positives and unnecessary surgery.

Free hearing screenings with Liberty Hearing CentersHearing screenings

are often overlooked among the array of recommended rou-tine health and main-tenance services. The general population is more likely to get an an-nual eye examination or teeth cleaning, but a hearing screening is a time-sensitive service that is essential to pre-venting, detecting, and resolving any hearing related complication. At Liberty Hearing Centers, a Brooklyn-based audiology firm, hearing screenings are offered free of charge and the entire process takes only 15 to 20 min-utes. One of the main reasons for this free screening service is to raise awareness about hearing loss and pre-vention before any sig-nificant loss occurs.

“We truly want to educate our patients. Sometimes patients wait too long before ad-dressing their hearing health care. We want to stress the importance of every patient having an annual hearing exam,” says Chief Executive Officer David Tonkow-ich.

When hearing loss is long standing and goes undetected, the treat-ment is generally hear-ing aids, which can slow the progression in some cases.

“If we had the oppor-tunity to help a patient five years earlier, it is possible to conclude that we may have been able to reduce the pa-tient’s level of hearing reduction,” he says, em-phasizing the need for

annual testing, espe-cially when the begin-ning stages of hearing loss can easily go unno-ticed.

Many medical condi-tions put the patient at risk for an earlier on-set or accelerated rate of hearing loss. Having your hearing checked should be a part of your annual routine exams.

Beyond free screen-ings, Liberty Hearing Centers’ services in-clude management of tinnitus (ringing in the ears), as well as treat-ment for complications related to dizziness, loss of balance, and vertigo. Liberty Hearing Cen-

ters’ comprehensive and collaborative approach to care ensures that any consultation will include a wide variety of options for patients, including information on the latest technolo-gies and treatments available. One of Lib-erty Hearing Centers’ main functions is to help patients select the best hearing products for their needs and life-styles, such as invisible hearing aids for those who are uncomfortable wearing exposed aids in their ears.

Liberty Hearing Cen-ters is the only Audigy Certified hearing care

practice in the region, an elite designation awarded to audiology practices with the high-est standards of patient care. The audiologists on staff are leading within their field and have a combination of clinical and hospital ex-perience.

H ealth food affi cionados are no doubt aware of the ben-efi ts of eating a diet rich in

antioxidants. While some antiox-idants are produced naturally by the body, others known as exoge-nous antioxidants can be obtained through the foods we eat. That’s important to know, as the Na-tional Cancer Institute notes that research has shown exogenous antioxidants can help prevent the type of cell damage linked to the development of cancer.

Perhaps the best thing about antioxidants and diet is that foods rich in antioxidants are often healthy and delicious. Such is the case with the fol-lowing antioxidant-rich recipe for “Curried Pumpkin Soup With Caulifl ower” from David Ricketts’ “Eat to Beat Prostate Cancer Cookbook” (Stewart, Tabori & Chang).

Curried pumpkin soup

Makes six servingsINGREDIENTS:2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cups coarsely chopped, trimmed caulifl ower

1 sweet onion, such as Vida-lia, coarsely chopped

1 tablespoon curry powder4 cups vegetable broth1 16-ounce can solid-pack

pumpkin purée (not pie fi lling)3⁄4 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS: In a large, nonstick saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add cau-lif lower and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-ten-der, about five minutes. Re-move caulif lower to a bowl.

Add onion and curry pow-der to the saucepan and cook, stirring occasionally, un-til onion is softened, about fi ve minutes. Add 2 cups of the broth and bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover, and sim-mer for 15 minutes. Let cool slightly.

Working in batches, purée the onion mixture in a blender or small food processor until smooth. Return the mixture to the saucepan.

Stir in the remaining 2 cups broth, pumpkin, salt, and caulif lower. Bring to a boil. Then lower heat, cover, and simmer until cauli-f lower is tender, about 10 minutes.

Make-ahead tip: Soup can be refrigerated for up to three days.

Foods can fi ght cancer

Antioxidant-rich curried pumpkin soup with caulifl ower can help pro-tect against cancer.

After water, tea is the sec-ond most popular bev-erage in the world. How-

ever, new evidence suggests that men who tend to be pro-lifi c tea drinkers may be at a higher risk for developing prostate cancer.

A Scottish study led by Dr. Kashif Shafi que of the In-stitute of Health & Wellbeing at the University of Glasgow points out that, among the 6,016 Scottish men ages 21 to 75 who participated in the 37-year study, heavy tea drink-ers, defi ned as those who had more than seven cups of tea a day, were at 50 percent higher risk of developing prostate cancer than men who drank

less tea. Of the men who were reported to have consumed the most tea on a daily basis, 6.4 percent developed pros-tate cancer while the study was being conducted.

The study did not take into consideration family his-tory or any dietary choices beyond tea, coffee and alco-hol intake. Dr. Shafi que in-dicates that he doesn’t know whether the tea itself is a risk factor or it is simply that people who drink tea, which is high in antioxidants, are more likely to live longer. That’s an important distinc-tion, as a man’s risk of de-veloping prostate cancer in-creases as he ages.

Is heavy tea consumption linked to prostate cancer?

BY ALLEGRA HOBBSThey’re in it for the long haul.

A Gowanus bicycle shop that specializes in cargo bikes — a Dutch invention that mashes up a two-wheeler with a wheelbarrow — held a “ro-deo” on Saturday, where con-noisseurs of the contraption and the cargo-curious came together to celebrate and learn more about the load-bearing bikes, organizers say.

“It’s kind of a round-up,” said Aaron Olson, who has worked at 718 Cyclery on Third Avenue for three-and-a-half years. “We like to corral all the cargo-bike users and have them for a hoe-down of some sort.”

The event was a huge suc-

cess, said store-owner Joseph Nocella. Crowds of pedal-push-ers descended on to the store to test-drive the bucket-affi xed bikes, and some speedsters faced-off in time trials down the street, hitting speeds of up to 30 miles-per-hour, he said.

Cargo bikes have exploded in popularity over the past year, and 718 Cyclery is at the forefront of the revolution, No-cella said. Last summer, he be-gan buying cargo-bike parts from the contraption’s Euro-pean homeland and spreading the word about the energy-effi -cient car alternatives, and now he says the store is the city’s go-to garage for the cycles.

“It took less than a year to

become a Mecca for this stuff,” he said.

Many cargo bikers use their cycle’s storage space to tote shopping, small animals, or young kids through the city streets, and Nocella says help-ing customers create a family-friendly ride is a rewarding ex-perience.

“It’s an exciting way to be a part of a family’s life,” he said. “Promoting less cars on the street and a healthier lifestyle is what most bike shops are about.”

Nocella is already planning a second rodeo for next summer — and by that time he hopes to have even more Brooklynites hooked on cargo bikes.

CHANGING GEARS: (Left) Bike enthusiasts got to test-drive 718 Cyclery’s cargo bikes at the shop’s neighborhood hoedown. (Center) Joseph No-cella of 718 Cyclery says city slickers can’t get enough of the Europe-an-style cargo bikes, and he hopes to see the trend continue to grow. (Above) Even pups had fun at the rodeo — and helped demonstrate the usefulness of the cargo bike for pet-lovers.

dred Farlese.But the city says she’ll

be safe.Workers plant trees

at least two feet from gas and sewer lines, and the Parks Department now digs larger tree pits to encourage roots to grow downward rather than outward, a spokeswoman said. The city hasn’t de-termined what species of tree it will install along 11th Avenue, she said. Residents can log sugges-tions, but Parks makes the fi nal call, because it has to maintain the plants, a spokeswoman said.

Another neighbor fears roots from trees planned in front of her home will tear up her ex-pensive sidewalk heat-ing system.

“It was costly for us to

put it in, and for them to say all the sudden, ‘we’re gonna put in trees’ — what about my pipes?” said Staci Anthoulis, whose sidewalk along 78th Street and 11th Av-enue is embedded with hot-water pipes to melt winter snow.

Man has been locked in a tug-of-war with trees for terrestrial suprem-acy from time immemo-rial, but the war heated up after Hurricane San-dy’s salty fl ood waters killed the root systems of thousands of Brooklyn’s street trees. Since then, undead “ zombtrees ” have been dropping limbs on unsuspecting residents at an alarming rate.

The city botched its tree-trimming program in 2012 and 2013, barber-ing baby arbors while letting old growth go un-trimmed, a Comptrol-

ler’s report found last year .

Not everyone on the Dyker block says that in-stalling new trees is the root of all evil. The trees may cause homeowners headaches, but they also make the block pretty and increase property values, one neighbor said.

“What’s the fi rst thing you look for in a real estate listing? ‘Tree-lined block,’ ” said An-gelo Sciascia, who wants a tree but can’t have one because there’s a power pole in front of his house. “Do they break up the concrete? Yeah. So does snow.”

Residents can suggest tree species and alert the Parks Department about sidewalk heating sys-tems by calling the Parks Department’s borough offi ce at (718) 965–8900 or by calling 311, a spokes-woman said.

For your chance to win, visit

other city agencies to install an additional entrance and signs of-fering directions for park-goers. But the Department of Trans-portation, which is re-sponsible for the sig-nage, says it hasn’t received any official requests from the cor-poration.

But some users would happily keep the park on the down-low. The hand-ful of organized sports

clubs that have caught wind of the waterfront recreational area say space there is never an issue.

“We don’t really have to worry about sharing,” said Neomi Vasquez, who coaches the AC Brooklyn International soccer team and learned of the park through her boss.

Others are only bothered by the park’s short hours — it closes at 8 pm during the sum-mer, and earlier during other seasons — and the lack of facilities for

young children.“I’ve got four daugh-

ters,” said Yuval Due-nyas, a Staten Island res-ident whose construction business often brings him to Sunset Park. “A playground would be nice.”

But he also loves hav-ing the parkland almost to himself.

“I walk around here all the time, and I only just found it,” said Duenvas, who found out about the park through an employee. “It’s al-ways nice and it’s never crowded.”

Previous projects have included cleaning and waxing both the bronze bear that sits atop the memorial to American artist William Holbrook Beard, and the sculpture of Roman war goddess Minerva that stands atop

Battle Hill, according to the burial ground.

Green-Wood employees said it was inspiring watching kids keep the graveyard’s history alive.

“It really is encouraging to see these young volunteers dedicated to preservation and it is fi tting that, to-day, some of our youngest helpers are paying tribute to the oldest soul bur-ied here,” said Green-Wood president Richard Moylan.

COURIER LIFE, AUG. 28–SEPT. 3, 201544 B G

To the editor,As the actual “Nancy Owen” in

Shavana Abruzzo’s three-part col-umn running this month (“ ‘I Am Nancy,’ a Brooklyn man’s journey to womanhood” Aug. 14, Aug. 21), I have read many ridiculous things from online trolls regarding trans-gender people, especially since Cait-lyn Jenner debuted as female on the cover of Vanity Fair. However, the letter from the anonymous Flatbush resident (“Reader objects to Sha-vana’s ‘trans-gression’ ” Aug. 14) tops them all, thus I choose to relinquish my anonymity in order to teach this ignoramus a lesson.

He or she may choose in advance not to read the column. However, this person erroneously referred to me as a “transgender male.” Hello! I was as-signed male at birth and I have been taking female hormones for over a year, which makes me a transgender female, especially since I have been openly living full-time as a woman for two months.

The second clown thing the au-thor does is include the word “male” an additional two times, as if to ham-mer the point home that he or she does not consider each trans per-son to be his or her chosen gender. It wasn’t funny the first time and cer-tainly not the second or third times.

Thirdly, the author bastardizes Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s actual quote, which was, “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” Certainly there are few things more challenging or controversial than living openly as the opposite gender from what everyone knew you as for decades prior, and for Dr. King’s name to be dropped by the author — who demonstrated the exact opposite of the Reverend’s intentions — fur-ther shows the author’s lack of knowl-edge about gender dysphoria.

Finally, the author’s inaccurate cause-and-effect example between “sexual perversion” and the collapse of the great ancient empires further shows that the author chooses to make up his or her own facts, as the actual causes were mainly political

infighting and poor infrastructure.Even a broken clock is right twice

a day, but that letter lacked hands.Sarah Renzetti

Gravesend

To the editor,Regarding the car graveyard arti-

cle (“Abandoned car getting free ride in Mill Basin” Aug. 10), there was an abandoned car for over a year behind my house. I called 311 and the police department three times, who did nothing until a year later when the car was vandalized.

I am also perplexed why there are no street cleaning regulations in Ber-gen Beach and Mill Basin.

As a resident of Avenue T in Ber-gen Beach, near Roy H. Mann inter-mediate school, my street gets dirty with debris from food wrappers on a daily basis. Also, the crumbling roads add more dust and pebbles at the side of the road. Is this what a middle-class neighborhood should look like?

The street cleaning trucks come by once in a while by Veterans Ave-nue, but since cars are parked there, their cleaning is ineffective. I work in Crown Heights where there are street cleaning regulations four times per week!

We definitely need to reinforce street cleaning laws and clean up our neighborhoods. T. Chananashvili

Bergen Beach

To the editor,I was watching a local news-en-

tertainment station air live in Man-hattan. It featured a live concert by a band of singers in front of thousands of screaming girls.

Funny thing though, I doubt any of them actually saw the singers on stage. Each girl held up a telephone, watching the screen and not the stage, to record the show!

Robert W. LobensteinMarine Park

To the editor,Liberals have been unfairly us-

ing presidential candidate Donald Trump like a punching bag, as if a self-made billionaire is an idiot who deserves to be ridiculed instead of being admired for his contributions and success.

I think Trump would make a great president. We need a leader who can

restore American cred on the world stage, and get things done domesti-cally. A lot of what is great about the city has the Trump name on it. He is a true American, whose command of capitalism would stand the country in good stead.

Those who consider Trump a bloviator should consider the demerit points President Obama’s diplomacy has earned us both at home and over-seas. We need leaders who mean what they say and say what they mean. So far the only candidate who measures up to that is Donald Trump. John Harding

Bay Ridge

To the editor,I noticed an advertisement on a

bus making a joke about mental ill-ness. It should be removed. I don’t see anything funny about a sick-ness which causes a lot of suffering, wrecks lives, and causes the suicides of thousands of people each year.

Dying from a mental illness is just as serious as dying from can-cer. Heard any cancer jokes lately? Of course not! There shouldn’t be any about mentally ill people, either. How would someone with mental ill-ness feel when they see that ad? Not very good, I would say. Mentally ill people are as human as anyone else. They should not be ridiculed.

Among those who have had men-tal illness are writers Ernest Hem-ingway and Virginia Woolf, poet Syl-via Plath, and actor Robin Williams. I don’t think anyone laughed when they died. Jerome Frank

The writer is a member of the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

To the editor,We don’t need more tobacco in my

neighborhood. Just the other day I was walking from the park around my school and I noticed something new. Another tobacco shop has opened of-fering more deadly tobacco products to my community that we don’t need. Tobacco shops, bodegas and pharma-cies that sell tobacco contribute to harming our neighborhoods instead of building them up. We need more positive things in our communities, not more tobacco retail.

I’m 16 years old and a typical walk down my block in East Flatbush has 80 retailers selling tobacco prod-ucts. This saddens me, and I believe there needs to be restrictions on the

amount of shops that sell tobacco in our communities. In Brooklyn alone, there are currently more than 5,000 of my high-school peers who use cig-arettes. Tobacco companies target communities and neighborhoods like mine with heavy marketing in and around shops that sell tobacco. They make their products look more appealing to children by using bright colors and familiar designs. This is another contributor to youth smok-ing.

We clearly don’t need any more tobacco shops and products in our community. We should have more positive things being built, like rec-reational parks or basketball courts. Things that kids should like. To-bacco companies are basically cor-rupting minds so that we can become addicted to tobacco products, and it’s deteriorating the health of everyone who lives in that community.

As a student fellow with the N.Y.C. Smoke-Free at Public Health Solu-tions, my peers and I are working to create a tobacco-free generation. Our communities can come together for the good of the youth. All we have to do is make our voices heard. We don’t need any more tobacco. Please join us by visiting nycsmokefree.org.

Ryan NewmanThe writer is a student at the High School For Public Service in East

Flatbush.

To the editor,I wonder if the youth of the 1960s

and 1970s were as fully aware of the health and environmental impacts the Clean Air Act would have on the nation, as I am. As a New Yorker, I think New York needs to lead the way in meeting and exceeding the goals set by the Clean Power Plan. One obvious first step would be for Gov. Cuomo to stop subsidizing dirty coal plants with hundreds of millions of dollars taken from the pockets of electricity customers. And we need to start thinking now about how to responsibly transition workers and communities away from a fossil fuel past and toward a clean energy fu-ture that can provide economic and employment security.

If Gov. Cuomo is serious about wanting New York to be a national leader on climate, he should use the historic impetus provided by the Clean Power Plan to get New York off coal for good. Makayla Comas

t pains me to say it, but New Jersey is suddenly a light unto us all. Last week,

its Supreme Court ruled that it isn’t automatically child abuse to let your kid wait in the car while you pick up the dry cleaning.

Hallelujah!We’ve been warned these

past 10 years that kids are in danger any time we leave them in the car. Public ser-vice announcements say, “Never leave your child in the car — not even for a minute!” Onlookers who spot a child in a car go crazy with rage. One mom I know had just buck-led her child into the car seat and went to return her shop-ping cart. When she got back maybe 30 seconds later, a woman was screaming at her, “She could have died!”

But this is bunk. Most of us spent part of our childhood waiting in the car while our moms ran errands, and no one called it abuse. Hardly! I had one friend who looked forward to the car waits with her sister because they’d tilt

the passenger seat all the way back and play “dentist.”

We refuse to concede there’s a difference between waiting in the car for 10 min-utes on a mild afternoon and waiting in the car for 10 hours

in the Mojave Dessert. This obtuseness explains why, back in 2009, a mom who let her 19-month-wait in the car during a five-to-10-minute er-rand at a dollar store in South Plainfield, was found guilty of child abuse by the state’s Department of Children and Families. The law there states parents cannot “reck-lessly create a risk of severe injury.”

But somehow it didn’t mat-ter that it was 55 degrees that day, or that the child slept peacefully through this whole “ordeal.” The mere fact of let-ting a kid wait in the car was enough for the department to place the mom on New Jer-sey’s Child Abuse and Neglect Registry. Every state has one — it is like the Sex Offender Registry, just not public. Once you’re officially a “child abuser,” good luck getting a job in teaching, day care, or nursing.

This mom asked the child protection agency for a hear-ing in which she could try to defend herself and get off the

registry. When this was de-nied, she appealed, but New Jersey’s appellate court de-nied her, too. The three-judge panel said there was no way she deserved a hearing be-cause what was there to hear? She’d left her kid in the car, which automatically made her a child abuser because something bad could have happened.

That’s true — but also highly unlikely. Of the 30–40 kids who die in hot cars every year, 80 percent were forgotten there for hours, or climbed in when no one was looking and couldn’t get out. They were not waiting in the car while mom ran into the store to pick up the pizza.

What’s more, law profes-sor David Pimentel points out that anything could also happen when the child was being walked through the parking lot. In fact, more kids die each year in parking lots and driveways than wait-ing in cars.

And if you want to talk about a bigger risk to chil-

dren, it isn’t waiting in the car, it is riding in one. The No. 1 way children die in America is as car passengers. So if we really want to crack down on parents who put their kids in danger, we’d have to scream things like, “How dare you drive that child to her piano lesson? She could die!”

We don’t do that because we are not constantly warned, “Never let a child ride in a car, not even for a minute!”

So last week, the court agreed with the mom’s law-yer, Sean Marotta, that we cannot expect parents to en-sure a zero-risk childhood. No option is ever completely safe. And no parent is every completely perfect.

And being imperfect is not the same as being abusive. So ruled the court, by a vote of 7–0. Which is why New Jer-sey is now a beacon of sanity in our parent-shaming and blaming country.

RHYMES WITH CRAZY

COURIER LIFE, AUG. 28–SEPT. 3, 201546 B G

adies, please, put those boobs away.

What depths have we submerged ourselves to? No, I don’t want to see bare-breasted women, and I don’t want to see bare-breasted men in Times Square. I don’t care how much you might think that two sagging, swaying, lemons in socks are a work of art, they are not — even if they are painted in the red, white and blue.

I do not want to see naked breasts as I walk along city streets — or bare-breasted men, naked cowboys, or na-ked cowgirls, either.

When I visit Manhattan, I want to see shops, museums, and Broadway shows, enjoy the fantastic architecture, dine at a fine restaurant and yes, even people-watch — but not boobs, buns, and painted bodies.

For those that want to bare their breasts, take yourselves to an appropriate forum — go to the beach, work in a topless bar, and jiggle your heart’s con-tent, go ahead — just don’t sub-ject me and the rest of the pub-lic to it.

And don’t use art as an ex-cuse to hide behind when all

you really want to do is make a few bucks and have your 15 minutes of fame.

To those people who think I am a prude, old fashioned, or have issues because my mother didn’t breast feed me — my suggestion is to take a very long walk off of a very short pier.

There is a time and place for every naked breast under heaven — in the right circum-stances, at the right time, just not in public places.

Women, do us all a favor and don’t carry on about equal rights to go shirtless — do not insult our collective intelli-gence — because this really is not about the equal rights that Gloria Steinem fought for. Nor why she burned her bra.

What Gloria, along with every other woman in the lib-eration movement, wanted was for women to be treated equally — not as objects.

To receive equal pay for equal work.

Be hired in equal posi-tions.

To be accepted for our in-telligence and abilities.

To be equal partners.To not be objectified as a

sexual object. Let me enlighten you —

having pictures taken of your naked boobs for money is on par with posing for “Playboy,” “Penthouse” and all the other nudie magazines that objec-tify women.

Be honest — you are not freeing your nipples because of art’s sake, you are freeing your nipples to make a buck.

Not for Nuthin™, but if that ain’t objectification, then I don’t know what is.

aitlyn Jenner has a fabulous, fellow femme

in Nancy Owen, a pre-operative trans-gender from Bay Ridge with killer gams.

“I’m definitely a girly girl,” says the divorced dad, 39, who began cross dressing at 11 and shops at Victoria’s Secret. “I love dresses, heels, accesso-ries, painted fingernails, and a bargain.”

Nancy, who takes estro-gen and hopes to surgically become a woman someday, crossed into uncharted terri-tory in April, presenting her-self as a full-time female on a four-day trip to California.

It was a new chapter along a personal odyssey inked in suffering, secrets, suicidal thoughts, and self-affirma-tion.

“I could not take another minute of playing the role of a man,” says the bubbly bru-nette, who asked her real name not be used.

Out west, Nancy attended

a lecture by “Rhoda” star Val-erie Harper about her battle with cancer, which claimed her own mother two years ago. She met and bonded with the celebrity, feeling confident enough in her purple Michael Kors dress and a matching head scarf — Rhoda’s signa-ture look — to share her gen-der dysphoria.

“When I told Valerie that I was trans and apologized for the deepness of my voice, even though I had raised the pitch, she told me I didn’t have to apologize to anyone,” says Nancy. “She told me I had ice-skater legs!”

Others have not been as open hearted.

Nancy’s sister disowned her. Her father fluctuates be-tween acceptance and denial. Her two young sons freaked

out upon meeting their dad dressed as a woman for the first time, despite receiving advance notice and profes-sional therapy.

“My 7-year-old cried and my 14-year-old gave me a weird look,” she says.

Both boys have since come around to their brave, tough-as-thigh-high-red-boots trans-parent.

“I took them out in public plenty of times this summer with no problems, and they now understand that I am teaching them to be honest,” says Nancy, who radiates op-timism like sunshine after a long eclipse since coming out as a woman.

She started a new job, en-joys her close circle of trans-gender and cisgender (non-trans) friends, got a butterfly tattoo to celebrate her moth-er’s gentle beauty, and forti-fied her personal resolve.

“If strangers wonder about me, I can’t help that,” she says. “I just want to be happy.”

onesty is the best policy. I probably learned that in the first or second

grade when I attended PS184 on Stone Avenue in Browns-ville.

I don’t know if I even knew what the word “policy” meant, but I did know about being honest. Along with that, the class was taught about respect for “authority,” another word I remember having to learn. When you are speaking to a schoolteacher, a policeman, an inspector, a butcher, a doc-tor, just about anyone asking questions, we were taught to answer with “Yes, sir.” “No, sir.” and “Thank you, sir.”

I was very young when I learned that there is a penalty for doing something wrong. Tell the truth, and that pen-alty might be very small. Tell a lie, and that penalty just might be a lot bigger than if you fess up at first.

Somebody should have taught that to New England Patriots’ quarterback Tom Brady. Do you think his pun-ishment fit the “Deflategate” scandalous crime? Definitely not. But add in his lies, his stalling, and the destruction of evidence, and that is where and why they got him.

Stupid, stupid, stupid. This athlete is so great that he would have won the game without having the ball al-tered in the first place.

I don’t think I could find it in my heart to vote for New Jersey Gov. Chris Chris-tie for President, but I sure would like to know what diet plan he used to shed all those pounds.

When Secretary of State John Kerry appeared before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, he was ques-tioned about the “Death To America” chants common at events presided over by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Hasan Rouhani. Along with a lot of confusing mumbo jumbo double talk the secre-tary stated, “I have no spe-cific knowledge of a plan by Iran to actually destroy us.”

Of course he has no spe-cific knowledge. Does any-one think that the Ayatollah would keep him in the loop and telephone him with a 24-hour warning? Coming up with a foolish response like

that before a congressional committee certainly lacks in-telligence. What will he say if he wakes up one morning and finds his home state of Massa-chusetts gone? “Ooops?”

With each day that passes, Hillary seems to lose a bit of her staying power. Recent polls show a majority of vot-ers no longer see her as hon-est and trustworthy. Right now there are many on the left who are encouraging Vice-President Joe Biden to run. “Okay, Stan. If you have to vote in the primary which one would you vote for?”

Neither. Call them what-ever you care to but they are both socialists and I am one who believes what Margaret Thatcher said about social-ism. In case you forgot, her fa-mous saying is, “The trouble with socialism is that eventu-ally you run out of other peo-ple’s money.”

I find it impossible to cast my ballot for either. I would stay home and not vote.

“Okay, Stan. I understand but, again, I am insisting that you must make a choice be-tween the two and only the two, who would you choose?”

Whip me, beat me, and tor-ture me, my vote would have to go to Mr. Biden.

I am [email protected] giving you three reasons why I cannot vote for Hillary Clinton. 1) Hillary Clinton is a liar. 2) Hillary Clinton is a damn liar. And 3), in the words of the late New York Times col-umnist William Safire, Hil-lary Clinton is a congenital liar. You don’t believe me? Google it.

’m madder than a cobbler told to repair a pair of flat-tened Air Jordan’s over

the fact that things just aren’t made like they used to be — especially the stool I used to sit on every morning while I eat the most important meal of the day, which is, of course, whatever meal I’m eating at that minute!

Look, you all know the ol’Screecher has put on a few hundred extra pounds as I sped toward 80 and started looking down the barrel of 90 years of age, and I have never had any intention of changing the way I live my life, which is to say, to the fullest.

So you’ll understand that I was shocked — shocked — on my birthday — my birthday no less! — when I sat down to eat my breakfast on a stool I bought at YouKea and the stool collapsed under my own weight! Talk about starting the day with a big bang (which, by the way, is my favorite tele-vision show).

But that bang wasn’t big enough to wake my lovely snoozing wife Sharon, who sleeps with earplugs so she doesn’t have to hear me snore

— or scream bloody murder when I fall in the kitchen.

Thanksfully, I was able to use my cane to reach my Me-Phone and put in a call to the porter at the beautiful Har-way Terrace towers after 1,500 tries to my wife’s phone didn’t get her out of slumberland.

He answered on the first ring, and we got right down to business:

Porter: What is it now, Carmine?

Screecher: I’ve fallen and I can’t get up! Can you help me?

Porter: Where is your lovely wife Sharon?

Screecher: She has her earplugs in! Didn’t you read what I wrote?

Porter: Okay, I’ll be right up. I just hope you are decent, unlike the last time.

Screecher: I am! Oh, and can you get me a Daily News before you come up? I don’t want to miss today’s “Dilbert.”

In a flash, two guys were heaving me up and walking me to Tornado who is too big to get into the kitchen area, which makes the stool a re-quirement. I thanked them profusely and requested that they take my collapsed broken stool down with them to throw away.

Once they left, I scooted to the bedroom to awake my sleeping bride because we were leaving for the Doube-Tree in Somerset, New Jersey and our friends were already there. Quick like a bunny, Sharon packed us up and we headed over to Bread Plus to pick up the giant strawberry shortcake I ordered (without the glazed straweberries) with

the words “Happy Birthday Big Z” on it.

Unfortunately, our new Volkswagon Golf Wagon doesn’t have as much space in it as the old Plymouth Fury, and it was filled to the brim with Tornado’s parts in four sections, our luggage, and somewhere in between or un-derneath all of it, the cake.

This was not lost on the hotel consigliere, who, when we arrived at the hotel, told us that said cake was in vari-ous stages of disrepair. To be blunt, it was squashed beyond recognition. But they put it in the fridgidaire anyway (Fridg-idaire, as you know, being Ital-ian for “refrigerator”).

We were soon poolside (and when I say “soon” I mean “after sitting in horrendous traffic on the Staten Island Distress-way”) Sharon informed me that they had voted and made reservations at their favorite Hunan Delight Sushi restau-rant in Franklin Township.

At Hunan’s, we sat at a round table set for 8, which really should have been two round tables for the amount of specialty dishes ordered. Nobody wanted soup except

me and Susie sexy socks, Car-melo’s wife. We ordered the house special soup that had everything imaginable in it. Carmelo wanted an egg roll that he didn’t want to share, so I joined him, ordering my own to share with my bride. She likes the outside, and me, being calorie conscious, only eats the inside.

Our head waiter almost had a heart attack when he called Sharon over to show her the ruined cake with strawberries and whipped cream strewn all over the box and blamed him-self for the mess. However, she couldn’t bear to torture this fantastic waiter, and told him to serve it the best he could, which was elegantly.

But to make their evening most memorable, they con-spired and sent my 80th birth-day balloon that had been tied to Tornado for a week, to high heaven!

But all in all it was a fantas-tic weekend with old chums from grammar school that have all been through life to-gether for 75 years!

Auguri per un altro centi anni!

Screech at you next week!

By Max Jaeger

She can carry a tune — from World War II to the present.

A singer born just months after her parents were freed from a Nazi concentration camp will per-form love songs made famous during World War II at Fort Hamilton on Aug. 29. “While You’re Away: Love Songs of World War II” commemorates the 70th anniversary of the end of the war, and is the performer’s way of thanking the soldiers who saved her parents, she said.

“I have great joy in doing this program, because how do you thank the people who give you your life back?” said Diane Cypkin, a Brighton Beach resident. “To me, every last soldier came to save my family.”

The singer and college professor says that Western history’s most tumultuous and strife-filled half-decade was a good time for popular music — if nothing else.

“Creativity doesn’t necessarily grow in happiness — it really blooms in misery,” said Cypkin.

The singer has music in her blood. Her father wrote his own love songs — penning original lyrics for well-known tunes — while Nazis kept him prisoner in a ghetto in Kovno, Lithuania, she said.

Cypkin’s family is one of few who survived the camp. Cypkin was born in a United States-run dis-placed persons camp in post-war Germany in 1945, and her family came to Brooklyn in 1949. At first, their adoptive home was a mystery, Cypkin said.

“We came in by boat through Gravesend — the bay — so they came in early morning and they saw all these lights on the Belt Parkway,” she said. “My brother asked what they were and my mother said they were bicycles.”

The family lived with an aunt near Shore Road in Bay Ridge before moving to Bensonhurst and later Brighton Beach, she said. Cypkin — a native Yiddish speaker — learned English in Brooklyn’s public schools, and she began performing in the Yiddish theater scene as a teenager. She appeared on Broadway in the show “Light, Lively, and Yiddish,” and earned a master’s degree from Brooklyn College and a doctorate from New York University. Now she teaches theater and com-munication at Pace University, and has maintained a career in the performing arts.

Human behavior is under the microscope.

A rock opera about the connection between human group behavior and the surprising social life of our gut bacteria will swarm into a Williamsburg gal-lery on this weekend, and its cre-ators hope the musical meditation on social life, bacterial life, and Internet alienation will leave the overcrowded city-dwelling audi-ence with a renewed appreciation for the crowd within.

“Within each of us is a crowd of bacteria,” said Svetlana Chirkova, drummer of psychedelic electro-rock band Color , which teamed up with a host of guest artists to craft the multi-layered production. “The group behavior in humans most likely stems from the group capac-ity of bacteria.”

“Swarm: A Microscopera,” is an urban boy-meets-girl tale wrapped in layers of metaphor about human interaction and alien-ation in the age of Twitter. The girl is a microbiologist who conducts research on the group behavior of bacteria while the boy, an indie rocker, seeks validation from the city crowd — and it turns out the swarms under the microscope and the swarms in the city street are not so far apart.

Band members interviewed microbiologist Bonnie Bassler,

known as the “bacteria whisper-er,” and her research about bacte-ria communication gave the show its core concept. It also lent an element of documentary theater — excerpts of the interview are literally recited by the actors. The band also interviewed a handful of Brooklyn musicians about dealing with crowds, and interwove the human stories with the scientific subject matter.

“It’s the story of crowds — the bacteria that inhabit us and the people who inhabit the city,” said Chirkova. “It’s about the wonderful and the scary, of both crowds.”

The romantic drama that gives the rock opera its narrative back-

bone is set to Color’s songs and to soundscapes that conjure the sen-sation of a madding crowd.

Color hopes the combined effect of rock opera and scientific documentary will give anxious or alienated urbanites a chance to check their guts and feel some relief from the scarier aspects of the city swarms.

“There’s something that can be soothing about realizing that we are crowds as individuals,” said bassist Kristin Dombrek.

“Swarm: A Microscopera” at the Sideshow Gallery (319 Bedford Ave. between S. Second and S. Third streets in Williamsburg, (718) 486–8180, www.sideshowgallery.com). Aug. 28–29 at 8 pm. $13.

It may not be as cool as Brooklyn, but Japan has its moments.

The Ditmas Park author of “Cool Japan Guide: Fun in the Land of Manga, Lucky Cats and Ramen,” will host the first event of the Waku Waku Japanese pop culture festival, which takes over a swath of venues in Greenpoint and Williamsburg on Aug. 29–30.

“I’ll be talking about cool pop culture stuff along with more tra-ditional sight-seeing and history,” said author and artist Abby Denson. “Japan is a really cool country and I want to help people find the most interesting stuff in it.”

Her book covers navigating the country’s trains, its food, including the bizarre array of Kit-Kat flavors, and its infamous high-tech toilets. Denson, who works as a cartoon-ist, fell in love with the country after discovering Japanese comics, called manga.

“I’ve always read comics and I started reading manga around high school, which got me to take Japanese at school,” said Denson. “I went over there, got to meet my penpal, and now I try and get over there once a year.”

Waku Waku aims to show off Japanese pop culture in its entirety, rather than focus on one aspect like many conventions do, said a festival representative.

“I think it’s great because lots of people are really interested in or only experienced one part of Japanese culture,” said Rina Sato. “It’s exciting to see people touch the aspects of Japanese culture they may not have been exposed to before.”

In addition to manga, the festi-val includes Japanese video games, fashion, music, and food. Highlights will include a Lolita fashion show (a street fashion trend inspired by Victorian-era girls’ clothing),

the latest video game from Keiji Inafune, designer of “Mega Man,” and a talk with the writers of the Dragonball cartoon series.

Abby Denson’s “Discovering Cool Japan” at the Wythe Hotel [8 Wythe Ave. at N. 11th Street in Williamsburg, (718) 460–8000]. Aug. 29 at 10 am. $45–$60 for festival pass. Waku Waku continues Aug. 29–30 at various venues. Visit www.wakuwakunyc.com for more information.

Missing this act would be a crime.

A local band that makes music fit for a noir film is taking over Barbès, the Park Slope bar known for its sonically sophisticated crowd. Instrumental trio Big Lazy will darken the Slope stage on the first Friday of every month until the end of 2015. The band’s guitarist says that, of all the bars in Brooklyn, Barbès feels the most at home.

“We’ve played at every single club in the city, from the highest to the lowest and everything in between,” said bandleader Stephen Ulrich. “This place isn’t just another gig. It’s a different crowd. It’s people who love music and are there to listen to music. It’s not a watering hole. There’s a culture of music.”

The music of Big Lazy, a trio featuring Ulrich, drummer Yuval Lion, and bassist Andrew Hall, may sound like the score to a noir film, but Ulrich tries not to box in the band’s genre-spanning style. He used to describe it as “crime jazz” or “guitar noir,” but now prefers to invoke a mix of American music archetypes, including “twangy guitar and jazz and blues, surf music, rockabilly, and big city crime music but with elements of Southern and Western style.”

“I kind of learned long ago that once I gave it a brand name

it became kind of a shtick,” Ulrich said.

Ulrich has experience with soundtracks — he has scored several television shows for the Public Broadcasting Service and Home Box Office, includ-ing the series “Bored to Death.” His music style draws on crime films from the mid-20th cen-tury, says Ulrich, because that influence sets him apart from other musicians.

“My generation was about busting open boundaries between genres, but my gen-eration is the punk rock genera-tion,” Ulrich said. “I feel like everybody uses that influence so I try to avoid that. But what punk rock did for me is make me look at other kinds of music. And I got into rockabilly. It was a logical progression into spy movies and film noir.”

The monthly residency at Barbès will let the band exper-iment with different styles in front of a supportive crowd of regulars. But the bassist says what excites him is the idea of people hearing Big Lazy for the first time.

“The best part is when those new people come and check out our style,” said Hall. “It’s probably something they have never heard before.”

Big Lazy at Barbès [376 Ninth St. between Sixth and Seventh avenues in Park Slope, (347) 422–0248, www.barbesbrook-lyn.com]. Sept. 4 at 10 pm. $10 suggested donation.

It will be a frightfully good time!The horrific hosts of cable-

access kiddie show “Ghoul A Go-Go” will present a spooktacular evening of frightening films in Coney Island on Aug. 29, including horror classic “The Black Cat,” a silent sur-prise, and one of their own delightfully demented episodes.

One of the show’s directors describes it as a mix of of afternoon dance shows like “American Bandstand,” ghoul-ish kids’ programs like “The Addams Family,” and late-night horror films hosted by the likes of Elvira.

“It’s a half-hour black-and-white monster musical kiddie show where kids dance to records and live bands, and it’s hosted by a vampire and a hunchback,” said Kevin Rice, who created the show with Kevin Novotny in 2001.

On the show, elegant vampire Vlad and nearly-mute hunchback Creighton host local rock bands in their grave-yard home, while also introduc-ing film clips, edited by Rice and Novotny from public-domain training films and newsreels. The show, which airs on Brooklyn Free Speech public access every Saturday afternoon at 11 am, has found an audience well beyond Rice and his directing part-ner’s expectations.

“We thought it was for people like us, in our 30s — wise-asses like us. That it would be a late-night cult show,” said Rice. “But kids love it, their parents love, their grandparents love it.”

The kids in the studio audience dance beside the Igor-esque Creighton

without fear, says Rice.“They recognize him as a big kid,

as one of their own,” he said. The Coney Island show on Saturday

night, upstairs at Coney Island USA, will be less friendly to the ankle-biter set. The show’s devilish duo will inter-act with the crowd and introduce a classic episode of “Ghoul A Go-Go,” as well as screening a 1966 horror film, “The Black Cat,” along with a secret silent film with a live piano accom-paniment. Rice refused to spoil the

surprise by naming the silent short. “It’s going to be a very special

moment of rare silent film history that you’re not going to to want to miss,” he said.

Rice and Novotny are currently editing the next episode of “Ghoul A Go-Go,” which will feature Brooklyn band the Electric Mess.

It is a sad week, but Bay Ridge will pull through.

Put on your black leisure suit, Bay Ridge Nights fans — the neigh-borhood is in mourning. A mainstay in the local music scene — Sunset Parker Danielle Aronsen — died in a tragic car accident on Aug. 20. She was a devoted fan of Ridge rockers — many of whom knew Aronsen from her many appearances at their shows, a friend said. So in the spirit of the departed, we bring you an all-rock Bay Ridge Nights.

On Friday, father-and-son duo Pepe and Tim Cardona (of Alive ’n’ Kickin’ fame) will rock Greenhouse Cafe (7717 Third Ave. between 77th and 78th streets) at 9:30 pm.

Rock out for an awesome cause on Saturday. A Bay Ridge writer who lost

her parents to cancer is throwing the third annual Cancer Can’t Kill Love Benefit Concert at Leif Bar (6725

Fifth Ave. between 67th and Senator streets). Pay what you will (and dig deep, you skinflints!) to see local acts Rick Vega, Tim and Tom, Stoop Kids, RoyGbiv, August on Sunday, and Charlie Fishercat. What a deal! Proceeds go to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and the show kicks off at 2 pm.

Keep the rock alive after the fund-raiser by going to Greenhouse Cafe, where classic rockers Out of the Blue will take you to Paradise City starting at 10 pm.

Then grab your beads and pray a rosé-ary at the Wicked Monk (9510 Third Ave. between 95th and 96th streets) while listening to Rock Farm haul in a grain-silo’s worth of metallic mayhem. The show starts at 10:30 pm. But seriously, you should not order rosé at Wicked Monk.

Can a film change the world?That is the question explored in a new

performance piece opening in Clinton Hill on Sept. 3. “They Are Gone But Here Must I Remain” uses a blend of dance, film, and spoken monologues to tease out the relationship between images and political action, says the show’s director.

“I think of it as a performance lecture,” said Kathryn Hamilton, who created the show with theater ensemble Sister Sylvester. “It starts as a lecture and then splinters into different perfor-mance pieces, circling around back to the lecture form, and then splintering again repeatedly over the course of the piece.”

The show uses clips from the 1969 documentary “The Fall,” from director Peter Whitehead, about students at Columbia University who took over several buildings as part of a protest against the Vietnam War. The film inspired similar student protests in Greece in 1974, says Hamilton, which eventually led to the removal of the country’s military dictatorship. Performers on stage re-enact scenes from the film, and use movement and dance to convey the action inspired by it.

“For me, the center of the piece is the relationship between image and action, tied back to the story of ‘The Fall,’ ” Hamilton said. “I find it a really fasci-nating thing to try and explore, using this story as a starting point, the connection between image and action, how each can cause the other, and what the relationship is between the two.”

Hamilton sees parallels between the action prompted by “The Fall” and modern protests sparked by camera-phone footage of policy activity.

“I live in Istanbul, Turkey, and in New York,” she said, “and have been away for the past six months, but just seeing the news about what’s been going on in America, and especially the role that cameras play in documenting, or challenging certain notions of truth, I think it’s incredibly pertinent to what we’re talking about in the piece. And the footage that Whitehead shot inside Columbia looks like it could be footage shot on a camera phone.”

NEVER GIVE UP UNTIL THEY BUCKLE UP.

WHEN THEY’RE TUNING YOU OUT.

BY MAX JAEGERThey’re looking for a sea change.

The city should jetty-son its plan to open a new com-muter ferry stop on the south-ern edge of Red Hook and drop anchor in Atlantic Basin in-stead, say locals.

Offi cials intend to send ferries to either the privately-owned Van Brunt Street pier or the city-owned parkland Valentino Pier when the city expands its ferry services in 2017. But those sites are out of walking distance for many Red Hookers, not close enough to transit, and lack parking, critics said.

“The two locations you have picked — unless they can take their car, fold it up, and put it in their briefcase — there is no parking,” said Jerry Armer, who is a member of Community Board 6, which encompasses Red Hook.

Instead, locals are fl oat-ing their own plan to open the dock in Atlantic Basin, in the corner closest to Conover Street, which they said has a

giant parking lot and is closer to more Hook homes.

“If you draw a half-mile radius, you can cover pretty much all of Red Hook within three blocks of this corner,” said area business owner Jim Tampakis, one of several lo-cals who advocated for an At-lantic Basin stop at an infor-mation session about the ferry last Thursday night.

But the city says their al-

ternate vision doesn’t hold wa-ter — the Coast Guard shuts down the entire area around the Port Authority-owned ba-sin whenever cruise ships dock there so the interna-tional visitors can go through customs, which would restrict public access to the basin and the ferry for about 30 days a year, said a spokeswoman.

“This is a commuter ser-vice — this is something that we hope and expect that peo-ple will be able to rely on ev-ery day to get to work so we can’t have a site [closed] that several days a year,” said Jus-tine Johnson of the city’s Eco-nomic Development Corpora-tion, which oversees the city’s ferry services.

Boats in the basin also have to move slowly enough so that they don’t leave a wake, which would drag down travel times, she said.

The Red Hook post is one of fi ve stops the city is adding to the Brooklyn waterfront as part of a $55-million ferry ex-pansion that it will begin roll-ing out in 2017, and offi cials

are unlikely to change course from the Van Brunt Street and Valentino piers so close to the launch, said Economic Development Corporation as-set manager Peter Flynt.

But if it can ever fi gure out a way to make an Atlantic

Basin stop feasible, the ferry landing — a fl oating barge — would be easy enough to move, he said.

“If we had a crane on site, we could move it in a matter of three to seven days,” said Flynt.

Residents: City’s proposed locations are impractical

RADIAL AGENDA: Jim Tampakis is arguing that Atlantic Basin would be the ideal spot for a commuter ferry, as most Red Hookers would be within a half-mile-or-less walk to it. Not so at the city’s current proposed sites, he said. Community News Group / Max Jaeger

• ‘You can’t stop us. We are a well-oiled machine.’

• ‘Even our backups were seniors.’

BY JOSEPH STASZEWSKIIt’s a whole new world for the Railsplitters this year.

Jordan Hannah is Abra-ham Lincoln’s only returning starter, and even he will be at a new position. The senior will go from receiver and defensive back to quarterback for an in-experienced Railsplitters team looking to win a third-straight Public School Athletic League football title. It will do so with 21 new starters from a team that lost 32 seniors.

“Even our backups were se-niors,” Lincoln coach Shawn O’Connor joked.

The 5-foot-6 Hannah is the team’s best athlete. His playmaking skills, speed and knowledge of the offense made him the best choice to take over for pocket passer Paul Litvak. The Coney Is-land school had success with a small, mobile quarterback two years ago in Javon Moore, and Hannah played the posi-tion for his youth league team growing up.

“It was always with me,” he said. “They just brought it back.”

Senior Matthew Beckford will anchor the offensive line. Last year’s backup running back Dayquan Audain, junior varsity call up Anthony Khan and Flushing transfer Naim Coakly are all vying for carri-ers this season.

Senior Kevin Medy is the team’s most versatile threat because he can play receiver or running back in similar ways to graduated star Luis Rodriguez. Nigel Propherbs could also see time at receiver or corner back, but Medy has been the player who impressed O’Connor early.

“He is a guy that’s re-minded me the most of what we are looking for,” O’Connor said. “He can do a lot of elec-tric things with the ball.”

Lincoln will turn to highly

recruited defensive tackle Romello Martin to be its play-maker on defense. The 6-foot-4, 281-pound junior has schol-arship offers from Syracuse, Boston College, Nebraska, UConn, Rutgers, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh. He is wearing former All-American Thomas Holley’s number 55 as a sign he is ready to be a leader.

Junior Jordan Jones is Lincoln’s top returning cor-ner back. O’Connor is im-pressed with his physical-ity while still being about to cover speedy receivers. Se-nior Moses Dupree will lead the linebackers.

The new Lincoln squad is confi dent in its talent and re-spectful of its pedigree. The players tune out the outside talk that this could be a down

year in Coney Island, with Grand Street and Week 1 op-ponent Erasmus Hall loaded with proven talent. Their goal remains a title at Yankee Sta-dium in December.

“We don’t really pay atten-tion to the bad talk,” Martin said. “We just focus on [get-ting to] Week 13.”

Last year’s group did it with players who came into the year unheralded and O’Connor believes the current team learned a lot from play-ing against the city champion-ship starters in practice fi ve-days a week. They don’t look back, only forward.

“We are the new team,” Medy said. “We have our own legacy to defi ne. We just have to keep following the tradi-tion, keep winning.”

BY JOSEPH STASZEWSKIThe pain sunk in and sunk in deep for Erasmus Hall’s re-turning players.

They were the same ones who watched Abraham Lin-coln celebrate beating them for a championship at Yan-kee Stadium last season. It’s exactly what coach Danny Landberg hoped would hap-pen in preparation for this year when he held them on the fi eld to see the trophy pre-sentation.

“I wanted them to suffer,” Landberg said. “I wanted them to have a visualization of what it is to lose and to never want to come back to that again.”

It worked, lighting a fi re in his players.

“The whole team is hungry, playing like we have a chip on our shoulder,” said senior quarterback Aaron Grant.

Erasmus has plenty of rea-sons to believe it can bring home its fi rst Public School Athletic League crown since 2012 thanks to a returning a roster with experienced play-makers and promising young talent.

Grant, who is in his sec-ond year as the starter, is a dual threat under center. He threw for 1,165 yards and 14

touchdowns with just three interceptions, and ran for 434 yards and four scores. Land-berg expects him to take a big step forward.

“Last year he was a little kid,” Landberg said. “Now he is stronger, faster, and smarter. I hope for him to dominate.”

Grant will see the major-ity of the snaps, but junior Shockuone Bobbit will also get some time at quarterback because Landberg believes in a two-man system.

The pair have some tal-ented receivers to throw to in the Temple-bound Jahsen Wint and classmate Daevon Alvardez. Junior Jahquel Webb could have a breakout year as the slot receiver.

They will work behind an experienced set of line-men in senior Selwin Wilkes and sophomore Lunell Noel, who Landberg believes is the best two-way lineman in the city.

The starting running back job is still up for grabs between juniors Siddiq Mu-hammad and Zhadane Pe-ters. Both are speed backs, but Landberg has seen an extra gear at times in Mu-hammed. The competition is

— Lincoln football coach Shawn O’Connor on how many of his players

graduated last year

W e will learn plenty a week from now in Coney Island.

It’s only the fi rst game of 10, but the season opener on Sept. 4 holds plenty of mean-ing for two-time defending champion Abraham Lin-coln and visiting Erasmus Hall — a rematch of last year’s Public School Ath-letic League football title game, played in the snow at Yankee Stadium.

Anytime these two city powers meet there is drama, considering no other pro-gram has won a city title in the last four years.

But there is extra curios-ity this time. An inexperi-enced Lincoln squad is look-ing to prove it still belongs in the championship conversa-tion, while Erasmus, with its painful experience from last year, would love to show its rivals that this is its year.

A victory could mean much more for Lincoln, however. It’s an early chance to put the rest of the city on notice that despite losing 21 starters it has the capability of making a run at a three-peat. Expecta-tions are bit down on the new Railsplitters squad ev-erywhere outside Coney Island, and beating a vet-eran and hungry Dutchmen team would send an early message that it shouldn’t be counted out.

The contest is also im-portant because Lincoln’s next two games are on the road, and against programs that are traditionally in the upper tier of the league.

Trying to win after long trips to Bronx power DeW-itt Clinton and to Staten Is-land’s Tottenville will not be easy. The last place the Rail-splitters want to be is start-ing in an early hole with an inexperienced team.

But a few losses along the way don’t scare Lincoln coach Shawn O’Connor, as long as his team continues to improve. The Railsplit-ters lost two last season, including to Erasmus in Week 5. The main concern is to the get to the postsea-

son playing your best — but boy, wouldn’t it be nice for the players’ confi dence and the power rankings to beat your rivals on the night you hang another champion-ship banner?

It is a reward Erasmus be-lieves it should have earned last year. The image of the Lincoln players hoisting the trophy is etched in the Dutch-men’s heads and has been a primary motivation for the squad since the moment it walked off the fi eld in the Bronx. What better way to put that demon to rest early than by ruining Lincoln’s opener and celebration?

Erasmus can pick up right where it left off last year when it nearly went undefeated during the regu-lar season, losing just its fi -nal to Tottenville. The early schedule is favorable to the Dutchmen this year.

Erasmus does have to travel to Kennedy in Week 2, but gets a good Cur-tis team and a rebuilding Flushing squad at home in the fi rst fi ve weeks. Beating Lincoln could spark a very fast start.

In the grand scheme of things, Week 1 could yet be a blip on the radar, but there is a better chance it will be more than that. The outcome could set both teams on their course for the year — one that could see another meeting at Yan-kee Stadium.

JOEKNOWS

by Joe Staszewski

BY JOSEPH STASZEWSKIThe only thing the Grand Street football team remembers about the best season in program history is the zero that ended it.

The Wolves squad established itself as a premier team in the Public School Athletic League’s city conference last year and reached its fi rst-ever semifi nal, but fell 27–0 to eventual city champion Abraham Lincoln.

The players haven’t forgotten the feeling of being shut out in the biggest game of their ca-reers.

“We lost 27–zip, and we were on zip and we didn’t score,” said Rutgers-bound receiver Tay-sir Mack. “That hangs over our heads all day. We think about that. We don’t want that to ever happen again, so we work to make sure that never happens again.”

Grand Street is hoping to have no issues scoring this year since it features arguably the best offense in tri-state area. Mack will be paired up with fellow Scarlet Knights commit Ahmed Bah, a Holy Cross transfer. Fort Ham-ilton senior transfer Sharif Harris-Legree will be at quarterback. The speedy Rhamel Ashby returns at running back and slot receiver, shar-ing the workload on the ground with Jahquese Morris, Justin Phillip, and Gibbs Seraphin. They are still in search of the bruising back it lost in Eugene Qualls.

Wolves coach Bruce Eugene plans on giving seven different wide receivers playing time in his high-octane attack. Kyle Brisfere, Jamar Crum, Bryan Van der Cruez, Tristan Jeanni-ton, and Christ the King senior transfer Ter-rell Miller will all be lined up out wide. Eugene wants to keep his top guys as fresh as possible to make them even harder to contain.

“You can’t stop us,” Mack said. “We are a well-oiled machine. Like coach says, ‘If one is down another one goes.’ We are nonstop. We know our job and get it done.”

They will work behind an offensive line that returns just one starter, but does not lack in size or talent. Kenskey Celestin will anchor a line that also features Solomon McDougal, Matt Soriano, and Jorge Minya. Eugene thinks he has an up-and-coming star in Chris Cher-nak, a 6-foot-5, 250-pound sophomore.

“We have some talent up there,” Eugene said.

While the Wolves return a number of star players on offense, it graduated its defensive leaders in defensive tackle Kamaal Seymour,

who is at Rutgers, and defensive back Edwin Lee. But there is still plenty of confi dence in this year’s group, led by Phillips at safety.

Juniors Olakunle Fatukasi and Kordell Wray lead an experienced linebacker core and a lot of expected of corner backs Dennis Peterson and Christ the King transfer Tyler Ross. Its top pass rusher is Flushing transfer Bromwell Roache, who is joined on a beefed up defensive line by Christ the King import Angel Ortiz, Hemyer Hernandez, and Joseph Jimenez.

They are part of a roster chock full of talent that Grand Street believes can get it over the hump to bring home the programs’ fi rst-ever city title. They weren’t happy with just getting the program recognition and reaching the semifi -nals.

“Last year that wasn’t our goal,” Ashby said. “We were trying to win it all.”

In order to fi nally do so, the team can’t get caught up in its regular season success like it did late last year. That took off the edge it car-ried into the playoffs, and Eugene said his play-ers had a deer-in-the-headlights quality going into the shutout game against Lincoln. The Grand Street players learned from that, be-cause no one let them forget.

“This is defi nitely the year we have to put it together,” Eugene said. “We remind the kids pretty much every practice, every workout that the last time we played football we lost 27–0.”

Aiming to be grand Opener to set tone for season of Lincoln, Erasmus

bringing out the best in both of them.

“Both the dudes back there are ballers,” Wint said. “I think they will do well.”

Wint has become more of a vocal leader as he replaced De-onte Roberts as the team’s pre-mier defensive player and line backer. The Dutchmen had ar-guably the best defense in the city last season after allowing

more then 20 points just twice during the regular season.

Erasmus believes it can continue to be a top-fl ight de-fensive unit even with new starters fi lling in around tal-ented returnees. Sophomore Matt Jones is one of the top defensive recruits nationally, with offers from Nebraska, Rutgers, Syracuse and UConn among others.

Daevon Alvarez will play safety along with Webb at line-backer. Landberg sees Aron Zruicksha being a special

player at corner back. Defen-sive end Benjamin Glover is the squad’s top pass rusher.

They are the ingredients to the championship roster Eras-mus believes it has, however it is the emotion from last De-cember at Yankees Stadium that will fuel it all season.

“He wanted us to feel the pain so we can have a chip on our shoulders coming in [this] year,” Wint said. “Knowing when we make it there this year we wouldn’t want to feel that same feeling.”
