On Tuesday Democrats
are voting in the runoff election primary for New York
City public advocate.
Leticia James, (currently
the City Council member
representing the 35th Council District) and Daniel
Squadron (currently state
Senator) received the greatest number of votes in the
September primary.
The runoff has been criticized for its high cost: $13 million for an office that controls
roughly $2.3 million. But the
position can be a powerful one:
the public advocate is second
in line should the mayor become sick or incapacitated, and
the position is seen as a steppingstone for a future run for
the Mayor’s office.
The tone of the campaign
has turned negative as both
candidates try to inspire
their supporters to vote in
what could be a low-turnout
election.
The polls are open from 6
a.m. to 9 p.m. To find your

FOLLOWING MASSIVE DAMAGE CAUSED BY HURRICANE SANDY, GERRITSEN BEACH LIBRARY
reopened to the community on Monday. At a ceremony held in the newly opened branch,
Brooklyn Public Library staff and leadership were joined by Gerritsen Beach community

Gravesend, Brighton Beach and Red Hook reopened to the public earlier this year. The Coney
Island Library is the only branch still undergoing renovations, but is slated to reopen in late
October. See story, page 2.

Associated Press
New York City plans to offer free public Wi-Fi in commercial districts in all five boroughs, officials said Monday.
The free public Wi-Fi
will be offered in Brooklyn
along the Fulton Street corridor, BAM cultural district,
Brownsville and Downtown
Brooklyn; in Manhattan in
the Flatiron District, along
the Water Street corridor and
the East River waterfront in
Lower Manhattan, Harlem’s
125th Street corridor and on
Roosevelt Island; in Queens
in Long Island City; in Staten
Island in the St. George commercial district; and in the
Bronx on Fordham Road.
The city also announced
the launch of WiredNYC, a
rating platform that evaluates the broadband connectivity and infrastructure of
office buildings in an effort
to encourage and accelerate
the use of the technology.
“Free public wireless networks in neighborhoods
across the five boroughs,
along with the new broadband rating program, will
advance our goal of equipping all New Yorkers with the
tools they need to participate
in the innovation economy,”
said New York City Economic Development Corporation
President Kyle Kimball.
The CEO of Kushner Companies, Jared Kushner, is operating WiredNYC on behalf of
the city. Ten of the city’s largest real estate owners are participating and more than 150
buildings are signed up for
the program.
“Staying connected is critical to success in the 21st-century knowledge economy —
whether you are building an
office for your tech startup or
trying to take your small business to the next level,” said
Deputy Mayor for Economic
Development Robert K. Steel.
Dredging on
Gowanus Canal
Starts in 3 Years
Associated Press
Federal officials say dredging will begin on the Gowanus
Canal in about three years to
remove sludge that’s polluted
with sewage and chemicals.
The regional administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, Judith Enck,
discussed the cleanup plans
Monday while standing next
to the Brooklyn canal.
Controlling the sewage
overflow is another key element.
Even then, it will only be
safe for boating — not for
swimming or fishing.
Enck notes that it took
more than 150 years to turn
the waterway into a Superfund site.
The highly contaminated sediment at the bottom
of the canal includes coolant and lubricant residues
that medical experts say can
cause cancer.
The cleanup cost estimate is half a billion dollars.

Following massive damage caused by Hurricane Sandy, Gerritsen Beach Library
reopened to the community on Monday. At a ceremony held in the newly opened
branch, Brooklyn Public Library staff and leadership
were joined by Gerritsen
Beach community members.
“We are thrilled to welcome the entire Gerritsen
Beach community back to
their neighborhood library after such a difficult year. I am
pleased to report that the library is now open and better than ever, featuring a completely new collection, an
ADA-compliant layout, new
roof, three meeting rooms,
and two self-check machines,
among countless other improvements,” said Brooklyn
Public Library President &
CEO Linda E. Johnson.
During Hurricane Sandy, the Gerritsen Beach library was flooded and the already worn roof was further
damaged by the storm, causing leaks in numerous places.
The one-floor branch had to
be totally renovated, and materials, equipment and HVAC
systems were destroyed.
Demolition of the affected
interior was completed earlier this year and new electrical systems, floor tiles, shelving and millwork have been
installed.

equipped with new computer stations for patrons of all
ages. Using this as an opportunity to improve the Library,
two new public self-check
machines and a new book
drop are now featured by the
Librarian’s Information Desk.
Additionally, there are three
meeting rooms for programming and community use, an
upgrade from the previous
one large meeting room.
The cost of repairs and
renovations totaled approximately $1.5 million. Earlier this year, Brooklyn Public
Library received a $300,000
grant from the AIG Disaster
Relief Fund and a $250,000
grant from the Mayor’s Fund
to Advance New York City to
go toward post-Sandy renovations.
Hurricane Sandy affected
six Brooklyn Public Library
branches. Sheepshead Bay,

Greenfield Urges 9/11 Survivors
To Register for Funds
Filing Deadline is Oct. 3
By Paula Katinas
Brooklyn Daily Eagle
Councilman David Greenfield is warning that the deadline to register for the Victim
Compensation Fund for 9/11
survivors and first responders
is rapidly approaching.
The last day to register
for financial assistance is
Oct. 3, according to Greenfield (D-Borough Park-Midwood-parts of Bensonhurst),
who urged all 9/11 first responders and survivors, including local Hatzolah and
Shomrim volunteer members, to register.
The fund, which is part
of the James Zadroga 9/11
Health and Compensation
Act, is open to injured and
ill 9/11 first-responders and
survivors from the World
Trade Center, Pentagon and
Shanksville crash sites and
to surviving family members
of those who died due to the
attacks.
But anyone seeking compensation must register by
the deadline, even if they
are already receiving benefits through the separate
World Trade Center Health
Program.
Greenfield said local residents, first-responders, safety patrol volunteers and anyone else whose health was
impacted by the terror attacks should visit as soon as
possible to find out if they
are eligible to enroll in the
program.
The fund provides compensation for a multitude of
health issues.
“We will never forget the
horror of that day, or the heroic response by so many
New Yorkers over the following hours, days and weeks,
including our great local volunteers. Anyone who risked
their health to help rescue
others deserves nothing less
than this city and nation’s
full support, including compensation through the Zadroga Act,” Greenfield said.
Hatzolah Volunteer Ambulance played a key role in
the overwhelming response
to the 9/11 attacks, responding to the scene with over 35
ambulances, 250 emergency medical technicians and
55 paramedics, according to
Greenfield, who said the first
ambulance to arrive at the
scene after the first plane hit
the North Tower was a Hatzolah ambulance.
While no volunteer members were seriously injured
at the scene, Greenfield said
there is no telling what health
impacts they will carry with
them in the coming years.
Because a resident cannot sign up for the fund after
the Oct. 3 deadline, anyone
who responded to the attacks or was exposed to toxins and believes their health
has been impacted as a result
is urged to register before the
deadline, even if they have
yet to experience actual illness or symptoms.
Registering preserves a
resident’s right to file a claim
in the future, before the fund
ends in 2016.
The fund is separate

Adowa, Ethiopia into rubble and columns
of Italian troops poured across its border
and destroyed the pathetic war-dancing
spearmen who rose up to defend their turf.
Italy claimed Ethiopia as part of it’s empire by May 1936.
All this Italo-Ethiopian conflict did not
set well with many of the black and Italian
ethnic groups in New York City. Italian
sympathizers felt Italy had a right to expand and “civilize” other countries.
Ethiopian sympathizers felt it was another
case of whites overrunning native blacks in
their own country and taking what was
rightfully theirs.
At Public School 178 in Bed-Stuy
Brooklyn, attended by students of black
and Italian backgrounds, gangs of both
squared off and brawled until school officials confiscated their sawed-off pool cues.
In Harlem, jeering blacks rallied on Lenox
Avenue, waved the Ethiopian tri-color and
vowed to run Italians out of the neighborhood. Cops were called out to prevent the
destruction of a Jewish-owned grocery that
rented stall space to three Italian vendors.
Very likely the Italian sympathizers did

Brooklynite Star
BROOKLYN — Esai Morales was born on
October 1, 1962 in Brooklyn. He grew up in
the borough with his mom. As a little boy he
was so concerned about his mother’s smoking
habit that he used to hide her cigarettes. Eventually she quit, and she’s healthy and happy
today. He is an advocate against smoking and
stresses before the camera how important it is
for caregivers, especially parents, to “quit”
smoking for the ones they love.
Morales has become a talented, intense and
strikingly handsome actor of Puerto Rican
heritage. After graduation from New York
High School for the Performing Arts, he displayed promise as a teen in stage productions.
At the Ensemble Theatre Studio he appeared
in El Hermano and in The Tempest at New
York’s Shakespeare Festival in the Park. Other
stage credits include the Los Angels Theater
Center’s production of Tamer of Horses, for
which he won the Los Angeles Drama Critics Esai Morales was born in Brooklyn on OcCircle Award, and Oscar Wilde’s Salome at tober 1, 1962. Beginning an acting career in

Bamba (1987) as the troubled older brother of Richie Valens. Morales fared less well in the bland
Damon Runyon tale Bloodhounds of Broadway (1989) and the sci-fi misfire Freejack (1992). He
has continually fought against ethnic stereotyping by playing a variety of ethnicities including an
Iranian in the TV miniseries “On Wings of Eagles” (NBC, 1986), an Irish bootlegger in Bloodhounds of Broadway, and a ruthless Polish-Jewish-Argentine gangster in Naked Tango (1991).
Morales has been quite in demand on television shows both starring and guesting. Just to
mention a few: “American Family,” “NYPD Blue,” “L.A. Doctors,” “ Miami Vice,” and “The
Twilight Zone.”
Over the years Morales has given his name, time, leadership and financial assistance to various causes and charities close to his heart. He was a founding board member of E.C.O. (Earth
Communications Office), a clearing house for environmental information. He has also worked for
the Wildlife Preservation Fund in Costa Rica and works closely with alternative AIDS and
H.E.A.L. (Health Education AIDS Liaison). In the late 1980s Morales used his heightened public
profile to organize an Oscar Night benefit for El Rescate/The Rescue, a Central American refugee
service agency. In 2002 Morales teamed up with another TV personality Ming-Na (Dr. Chen) in
the 6th annual National Education Association’s Read Across America event, a year-long reading extravaganza.

being a flier, he had hoped he would be the
new air force chief. This time that job had
been given to a Chicago flier John Robinson.
Julian had gone to Ethiopia where in
June 1930 he had been appointed chief of
the Ethiopian Air Force by Haile Selassie.
When he took over as chief, Ethiopia’s air
force consisted of three airplanes, but by
late October Julian had crashed one of
them. When he returned in 1935 Ethiopia
thought it best if he stayed on the ground.
He returned to New York where he brought
Ethiopia’s state of affairs to the attention of
American blacks, and promoted the proliferation of Ethiopian flags and relief-fundraising stations in New York and other
cities as part of his impassioned crusading.
Then in 1935 he returned to actively help

R
De Blasio, Cuba and
The Sandinistas
By Raanan Geberer
Brooklyn Daily Eagle
Recently, a lot of to-do has been made about former Brooklyn councilman and current mayoral candidate and Public Advocate Bill de Blasio’s
left-wing background. It turns out that when he was young, in the 1980s, he
went to Nicaragua to volunteer with the Sandinistas. Later, after he married
his wife, Chirlane McCray, they honeymooned in Cuba.
First, let me make it clear that I’m not a fan of either Cuba or the Sandinistas. In the 1950s, the Batista government in Cuba (backed by American
gangsters like Meyer Lansky and Lucky Luciano) was so corrupt that people were hungry for a change. When Castro took power in 1959, the Cuban
people were ecstatic. But within a year or two, he started showing dictatorial tendencies, and more and more Cubans began leaving the country. Some
people think that Castro was basically a charismatic populist, and only the
United States’ hostile actions toward him pushed him toward the Soviet
Union. Others think he was a dedicated communist from the beginning.
I don’t know the answer—I’ll let the professional historians debate that.
The fact is, however, that by 1963, Cuba was formally a one-party state, with
no tolerance for dissent, and had merely exchanged one master (the Soviet
Union) for another (the United States).
Nicaragua is somewhat more complicated. As in Cuba, a populist leader,
Daniel Ortega, overthrew a corrupt dictator. His Sandinistas embarked on
a program that included mass literacy, accessible healthcare and women’s
rights. Unfortunately, they also persecuted rival political parties and allied
themselves with Cuba and later Iran. At any rate, after a bloody civil war
(during which the U.S. backed the Sandinistas’ opponents, the “contras”),
the Sandinistas held elections. Today, Ortega is a respected elder statesman.
Certainly, de Blasio was not alone in his feelings about these nations.
Many, many young Americans and other westerners idolized Cuba (especially slain Cuban leader Che Guevara) and the Sandinistas. The Clash even recorded a song called “Sandinista.” At any rate, the charges against de Blasio
concern actions that took place 20 or 30 years ago, and de Blasio himself has
said he opposes the dictatorial tendencies within the Sandinista movement.
So it would be best to let the matter rest, and move on to more current issues.
Now, more about Cuba itself. Cuba hasn’t changed that much after Fidel Castro handed power to his brother Raul Castro. Yet, Cuba is no threat
to the United States – especially not since the fall of the Soviet Union. In
the old days, Cuba thrived on Soviet aid, but now, it barely has enough food
to feed its own people, which is why Cuba is so eager to import grain from
American farmers. Yes, Cuba is a dictatorship, but the U.S. has been friendly
with much, much worse dictatorships, such as Haiti under the Duvalier regime or Spain under Franco.
The U.S. has everything to gain and nothing to lose from the resumption
of friendly relations with Cuba. Sure, some old-time Cuban exiles in Cuba
may rage about Castro. But if the Cubans are allowed to buy American goods
and see American movies and TV, this will hasten change, not endanger it.
And travel to Cuba could be a bonanza for the U.S. tourist industry. Hispanic-American businesses could also be a bridge between the two countries.
Once, in Toronto, I saw a travel brochure for Havana. Canadians can go,
but we can’t. By instituting friendly relations with Cuba, the U.S. will show
the world that the Cold War is finally over.

perfect for New York’s biggest street fair, and thousands thronged the avenue from Hicks Street to Fourth Avenue.

Editor To Speak in Greenpoint
Icarus, Persephone, Odysseus, and Poseidon are names
that reverberate with familiarity. Now these and many other figures from mythology live again as their tales are reimagined in “xo Orpheus: Fifty New Myths” (A Penguin
Original), edited by Kate Bernheimer. Bringing figures from
Greek, Indian, Punjabi, Inuit, Persian, and Aztec traditions
to the fore, the stories in “xo Orpheus” come from some of
today’s most exciting contemporary fiction writers. As she
did in “My Mother She Killed Me, My Father He Ate Me,”
Bernheimer assembles a diversity of voices to breathe new
life into an ancient tradition.
“xo Orpheus” presents a world of talkative goats, a cat
lady, a bird woman, a beer-drinking ogre, and a squid who
falls in love with the sun. Lauren van den Berg takes on
Norse creation myth while Joy Williams gets inside the
head of Argos, Odysseus’s faithful dog. Shane Jones explores coyote myths through the story of a young couple
bringing their baby home from the hospital. Demeter and
Persephone’s sad tale of separation becomes the story of a
divorce. The fierce bonds of young friendship is the framework for Elanor Dymott’s version of Candaules and Gyges’s
tale of betrayal. Kathryn Davis turns to the Inuit myth of
Sedna, and Max Gladstone delves into Drona’s death in the
Mahabharata.
The stories in “xo Orpheus” are full of boundless wonder and invention. “xo Orpheus” is a goodbye to the old
way of mythmaking, a book that boldly heralds a new beginning for one of the world’s oldest literary traditions.
Bernheimer will appear in Brooklyn on October 2, at
Greenpoint’s WORD Bookstore, to discuss the book with
regional contributors.

NY Methodist Offers New Procedures for Spine Surgery
New York Methodist Hospital
(NYM) in Park Slope has incorporated a revolutionary new neurosurgical technique into its lineup of
minimally invasive procedures for
spine surgery. Through this lateral
access (sideways approach) technique, neurosurgeons at NYM can
now minimize or even eliminate
the need to dissect muscle to reach
the spine for a procedure.
“Every year, nearly 600,000
Americans have spinal surgery,
whether it’s to address stenosis,
chronic pain, tumors, scoliotic
deformities, trauma or another
condition affecting the spine or
spinal column,” said Martin
Zonenshayn, M.D., chief of neurosurgery at NYM. “For any spine
surgery patient, we want to minimize the post-operative impact.
Although some conditions may
necessitate traditional ‘open’ surgery, many operations can now be
performed using minimally inva-
sive and lateral access techniques,
resulting in less pain, shorter hospital stays and faster recovery.”
One such lateral access procedure is lateral access spinal fusion,
in which two or more vertebrae
(backbones) are permanently
joined together. Spinal fusion is
often used to eliminate painful
movement of the spine, or to keep
the spine stable after injury, infection or removal of a tumor.
“During lateral access spinal
fusion, we create a small ‘pathway,’ roughly two inches wide,
to the spine through an incision
in the patient’s side, allowing us
to avoid dissecting back muscles
and tissues,” said Alexandros
Zouzias, M.D., attending neurosurgeon at NYM, who performs
the lateral access procedures.
“However, this pathway
must be created with the utmost
precision. When we access the
spine from the lateral position,
there is a plexus of nerves surrounding the sides of the spine.
Those spinal nerves are crucial
to the body’s motor function,
and dissecting them to reach the
spine is simply not an option. By
using cutting edge devices that
stimulate the nerves as we create
that pathway, we are able to use
electrical pulses that accurately
locate and navigate around those

of the STAR Program, said,
“With the advent of highly
active antiretroviral therapy,
HIV has become a chronic disease, requiring comprehensive
primary care to address common age-associated diseases
and co-morbidities, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease,
and osteoporosis. Furthermore,
there is an increasing nationwide deficit in HIV providers as
current ones retire and too few
primary healthcare providers are
adequately trained in the management of clinical aspects of
HIV infection.” He added,
“Despite targeted prevention
efforts, HIV infection continues
to spread in New York City, further underscoring the need to
provide HIV clinical education
to healthcare providers.”
The new PA HIV training
program will integrate supplemental HIV education for
selected PA students entering
a specialty HIV track, including an HIV-focused clerkship
in the STAR Program’s HIV
primary care site, the STAR
Health Center. The program’s
ultimate goal is to educate and
train 10 new PAs per year, with
the first cohort enrolled in 2014.
Dawn Morton-Rias, EdD, PAC, is dean of the College of
Health Related Professions.
Felix Nwamaghinna, MSB,
RPA-C, is chair of the
Physician Assistant Program.
SUNY Downstate is one of
only five academic medical centers nationwide to receive this
prestigious HIV training grant
this year, and the only PA program awarded. The four other
programs involve training nurse
practitioners in HIV care.
SUNY Downstate has a
quarter-century history of providing innovative HIV primary
and specialty care, research,
prevention services, and clinical education in Central
Brooklyn. In 2012, the STAR
Program was one of three sites
in the United States awarded a
HRSA AETC grant to develop
an HIV Track in Categorical
Medicine in collaboration with
the Department of Medicine’s
Internal Medicine Residency
Program. The first group of
medical residents began the
program in July 2013. The
SUNY Downstate Physician
Assistant Program has been
the recipient of several
HRSA awards throughout its
23-year history and continues to be nationally recognized for its leadership in
urban PA education.

Opponents of Atlantic Yards
Project Entitled to Legal Fees
By Charisma L. Miller, Esq.
Eagle file photo by Sarah Ryley
Brooklyn Daily Eagle
Prior to the erection of the Barclays Center—
home of the Brooklyn Nets, the first major professional sports team in Brooklyn in over 50
years—community groups throughout Brooklyn,
and in particular Prospect Heights, fought hard
against the development of the Atlantic Yards
Project. While the Barclays Center was completed despite the many challenges against it, a New
York judge has ruled that the opponents of the
Atlantic Yards Project are entitled fees and
expenses incurred during their fight against the
development project.
Develop Don’t Destroy (Brooklyn), Inc.
(DDDB) and Prospect Heights Neighborhood
Development Council, Inc. (PHNDC), fought
many aspects of the Atlantic Yards Project, primarily New York State’s use of eminent domain,
to remove Brooklyn residents and business owners in favor of Empire State Development
Corporation (ESDC) and the private development of the Atlantic Yards Project by Forest City
Ratner. Unable to succeed on that front, the
DDDB and PHNDC argued that ESDC had
affirmed and then failed to comply with a series
of state environmental rules and regulations as
related to the project.
In 2011, New York City Acting Supreme Court
Justice Marcy S. Friedman ordered ESDC to pre-

impact of the project, whose second phase is slated to run from 2019-2035. The ESDC appealed

DDDB and PHNDC viewed the order for an
environmental impact statement as a victory and
requested reasonable attorneys fees and expenses
as generally allowed the victor in civil suits. ESDC
challenged the request, arguing that DDDB and
PHNDC were unable to accomplish the their ultimate goal: staying the erection and progression of
the Atlantic Yards Project.
New York rules require that the losing party in a
civil suit pay the legal fees and expenses of the prevailing party unless, in cases where the state is the
losing party, “the court finds that the [actions of the
state] was substantially justified or that special
circumstances make an award unjust,” the determination of “substantially justified” resting on
judicial discretion. Finding no substantial justification as to why the ESDC should not have been
required to include an environmental impact statement, Friedman ruled this month that DDDB and
PHNDC claimed a significant victory in arguing in
favor of and obtaining an order for the impact statement despite a “failure to obtain injunctive relief”
on the entire Atlantic Yards Project.
“Given the magnitude of Phase II construction, and petitioners’ goal of obtaining further
review of the environmental impacts of such construction, the court holds that they have succeeded
in achieving a substantial part of the relief sought
in this litigation,” Friedman wrote.
Friedman granted the request for legal fees,
though has ordered a special referee to review
the legal fees and expenses to be disbursed. The
groups have asked for over $323,000 in fees
and expenses.

New York Accountant Gets
18 Years For Aiding al-Qaida
Courtroom sketch of Wesam El-Hanafi during his
2010 trial for providing material support to al-Qaida.
Sketch by Jane Rosenberg
NEW YORK (AP) — A successful New
York accountant who admitted supporting alQaida with money and supplies has been sentenced to 18 years in prison.
Sabirhan Hasanoff, who lived in Brooklyn
with his two children, was sentenced Monday in
federal court.
The sentence is two years less than the maximum he faced after pleading guilty to supporting al-Qaida. The judge says it was necessary to
send a deterrent message to others who might
embrace violent Islamic ideology.
Hasanoff has apologized for supporting alQaida from 2007 to 2010, saying he was wrong.
Prosecutors had portrayed Hasanoff as a
new sophisticated breed of homegrown terrorist.
The 37-year-old Hasanoff is a dual citizen of
the U.S. and Australia. He graduated from
Baruch College in Manhattan and had worked
as a senior manager at PricewaterhouseCoopers.
In an unrelated case, Egyptian- American
and another Baruch College alumn, Wesam ElHanafi, 38 is suing the United States government for alleged mistreatment after his detention in Dubai lead to a supposedly deadly medical condition. Brooklyn born El-Hanafi, was
accused of signing up as a supporter of al-Qaida
and forming a mini al-Qaida cell, wiring money
to jihadists and purchasing supplies for potential
for use in time bombs, prosecutors asserted.
El-Hanafi now contends that he was shackled for three days and four nights while
detained in Dubai and denied use of his legs on
the 14-hour flight from Dubai to the United
States, where he stood trial. Diagnosed with
deep-vein thrombosis, El-Hanafi alleges that
his ailment went untreated for 17 months.
Federal prosecutors and the U.S. Bureau of
Prisons have declined to comment on ElHanafi’s current suit.
