Store Hours: Monday - Friday, 9am-7pm; Saturday 9am to 6pm Burgle-happy day Two apartments were burglarized in a building on 68th Street at Fifth Avenue last Friday. Falling on Oct. 24, the same day as the 92nd Street burglaries, the two apartments were relieved of several credit cards, small amounts of jewelry and at least $100, police said. The crimes took place after 9 am, when a 21-year-old tenant reported leaving the building. The other, a 24-year-old man, reported leaving for work at 7:30 that morning. Stun gun chumps It’s stunning the lengths some people will go for chump change. Two 15-year-old bullies with an advantage otherwise known as a stun gun approached another boy, 14, on Oct. 23 at around 2:30 pm and demanded his money. Standing in Sgt. Joyce Kilmer Square, on the corner of Quentin Road and Kings Highway, the young thieves threatened to shoot unless the teen handed over the loot. After rummaging through the boy’s pockets, however, the bul- lies fled with just four quarters. Dyker knife fight A late-night basketball game turned bloody Oct. 25 when an argument between two groups ended with a stabbing. The 17-year-old victim, who was taken to Victory Memorial Hospital on 92nd Street, told police that he and friends were hang- ing out at the basketball court at Dyker Park, at 86th Street between 13th and 14th avenues, when the fight started at around 11 pm. The fistfight started after an argument between two separate groups over use of the court became heated. Punches were thrown and then the suspect, a 6-foot tall, 190-pound man with brown hair, lunged a knife into the victim’s stomach. Threatens kids in extort Two men allegedly threatened to kill a man’s children last week if he didn’t pay them $40,000, police said. The Oct. 24 incident happened at the man’s place of work, a real estate company on 62nd Street at 15th Avenue. The alleged extor- tionists, brothers, 34 and 44, walked into the business around 3:30 pm and, in addition to threatening the kids, promised to burn down their home. An arrest was made shortly after the episode. Roving break-in She can’t say for sure, but a 32-year-old Bay Ridge woman thinks that her car was broken into in either Manhattan or Brook- lyn, say police at the 68th and 13th precincts. The woman first reported the crime to police in Manhattan on Oct. 19. But after a second interview several days later, police transferred the case to the 68th Precinct, where she first discov- ered property stolen from her trunk. Turns out, police said, the woman had been visiting a friend on Third Avenue at 17th Street in the East Village that night. Later, she headed to her parents’ home on Fort Hamilton Parkway at 88th Street in Bay Ridge. But it was only after arriving at her own home, on 73rd Street between Fourth and Fifth avenues, that she reported discovering $2,500 worth of jewelry and clothing missing. Although the woman doesn’t know where, or when, the theft happened, she reported the crime to the 68th precinct. Paying By Check Trash talkers Two thugs hanging out on 78th Street at 19th Avenue on Oct. 26 talked the talk, but failed to walk the walk. A Big Pain InThe Neck? After hurling profanity-laden threats at a 16-year-old from whom they demanded money, the two men were left with nothing when the teen smartly ran away. That was at 8:10 pm.

PARK… Continued from page 1 May to mid-October that number swells to 26, plus a lieutenant and four sergeants. A spokesman for Brooklyn South, Lt. James Woods, said Chief Fox was still evaluating the need for a year-round expand- ed park patrol and would make a decision soon. Community Board 6 has been asking the police department to keep the additional patrol year-round for the past three years. “We think this should be a priority,” said the board’s district manager, Craig Hammerman. While the number of incidents in the park is down from last year, park users have been on alert following a series of mug- gings and sexual assaults. Just two weeks ago a woman was groped while jogging through the park, and on Sept. 30, two men were stabbed in sep- arate attacks in the park. Just before 9 pm, a trio of attackers set upon a 42-year-old man on East Drive, north of the zoo. Following a scuffle, the men stabbed the victim in the chest and right arm and made off with his jacket. Five minutes later, the roving band of thugs attacked a 22-year-old man near the Eastern Parkway entrance to the park, at Grand Army Plaza. One of the attackers pulled out a box cut- ter and slashed the victim’s throat. The suspects made off with $70. Police said the victim refused medical attention. An 18-year-old from Crown Heights was arrested in the at- tack. On Sept. 17, a man sexually assaulted an 11-year-old boy around 9 am in a section of the park near Empire Boulevard. And on Sept. 2, Police Officer Anthony Ward, 30, an officer of the 78th Precinct’s Prospect Park detail, nabbed an ex-con as he Angels don’t need health coverage. Your child does.

Nonpartisan elections are held in 41 of the largest cities in the professional programs in health careers. country, including Chicago and Los Angeles. But along with Philadelphia, New York City is one of few holdouts. “Historically, charter amendments like this have not caught on in New York,” said political consultant Gerry O’Brien. “Because it’s an older state, it’s more conservative when it comes to changes like this. California and the western states are newer and as a result they’re willing to take on these changes.” And that is precisely what some Democrats are afraid of. Markowitz on Wednesday likened nonpartisan elections to the California gubernatorial recall, with its list of 135 candidates. Un- der the referendum, Democratic and Republican primaries would be consolidated to one nonpartisan primary ballot in September, with the top-two candidates running against each other in No- vember. “It operates like the “free-for-all recall election of the Califor- nia governor,” said Markowitz. But Bob Conroy, chairman of the Kings County Independence Brooklyn College Party, said the Democrats were acting like political hacks. “The Democrats should be the first on board to support the ref- erendum because this is a question of fairness, and that’s what Health Career Open House Democrats used to represent,” said Conroy, who was at one time a registered Democrat. “It’s become a party of professional politi- cians.” Conroy’s Independence Party stands to gain from a nonparti- san ballot that makes no distinction between Democrats, Repub- Thursday, November 6, 6 p.m. licans and third parties. “It’s neither fish nor fowl,” said O’Brien. “But Democrats feel Brooklyn College Student Center threatened by anything they feel diminishes their party or that would threaten their clout.” Campus Road and East 27 Street Joseph Mercurio, a political consultant who’s worked on some 500 campaigns over 25 years including that of the late Democra- tic Sen.
