Stainton The Brooklyn Papers ABensonhurst sanitation worker died on Aug. 28 when he was ejected from his garbage truck during a crash on a dangerous stretch of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway under the famed Brooklyn Heights promenade. Michael Occhino, 25, was killed on the job when his truck struck a guardrail near Furman Street around 4 am and overturned, according to police. The collision hurled him through the windshield and onto the pavement below. Occhino — who was not wearing his seatbelt — was headed west on the elevated roadway, between the Brook- lyn Heights and Atlantic Av- enue exits, when his truck Callan / Tom skidded into the barricade.

EVENT Parade 2006 The West Indian American Day Carnival Parade returns to Eastern Parkway on Monday and is expected to again draw more than a million spectators and revelers. On Sept. 4, costumed dancers will fill the streets of Crown Heights and Prospect Heights. Thousands of vendors will also throng the busy streets, selling Caribbean food, cloth- ing and art. West Indian Ameri- can Day Carnival Asso- ciation President Yolan- da Lezama-Clark explained the annual event’s enduring appeal: “Carnival is about music. It’s (718) 834-9350 The Brooklyn Papers’ essential guide to the Borough of Kings September 2, 2006 about color and pageantry.” Marching Director Jean Alexander told GO Brooklyn that there will be more costumes this year, but the parade’s theme, which will emphasize the cultural connection between Mardi Gras and Carni- val, is — in part — a somber one. Said Alexander, “We want to bring attention to the plight of those in New Orleans who are still suffering — and that’s most of them.” The 2006 Carnival Parade begins at 11 am on Sept. 4 at Rochester Avenue and Eastern Parkway. The parade travels along Eastern Parkway to Grand Army Plaza, and turns onto Flatbush Avenue, continuing to Empire Boulevard.

Macall Polay nights in DUMBO’s Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park. The eight-year-old, Park Slope-based Silver- Brown Dance Company (SBD) has created “Oasis 3” to commemorate the terrorist attacks. The company will perform in the park against the Man- hattan skyline. “Oasis 3” was choreo- graphed for “the community to come together to remember, to reflect, to ‘Baby’ mourn, and to heal,” said SBD Artistic Director Eva Silverstein, who is from Brooklyn Heights. “I believe the arts have the power to heal.”

Silverstein said her Julienne Schaer work with firefighters, widows and community members, and research at Ground Zero informed the dance. The event is ex- steps pected to draw those affected by the tragedies, and especially families and friends to honor their lost loved ones and support each other. Filmmaker returns to Sunset Park “My hope is that ‘Oasis 3’ will touch people with
