Yeger is widely rumored to wanting to challenge Deutsch – with a wink from City Councilman David Greenfield (D-Boro Park, http://www.kingscountypolitics.com/deutsch-sews-mark-viverito-mike-nelson-support/ 2/5 7/27/2017 Deutsch Sews Up Mike Nelson, Mark-Viverito Support MIdwood, Bensonhurst) – in an Orthodox Jewish battle of political one-upmanship.

Deutsch worked for Nelson before the latter was term- limited out of office three years ago in the same 48th City Council district covering Sheepshead Bay, Manahttan Beach, Brighton Beach and Southern Midwood and he likes the work Deutsch is doing.

“Chaim has always been a tireless advocate for our community. During the time he worked in my Council office, and now as our Councilman representing the 48th Council District, he has fought to protect and improve the lives of his constituents. He has done an extraordinary job during his first term, and I am delighted to stand with Ari Kagan and Margarita Kagan to show our support for Chaim,” said Nelson.

City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito

While Nelson’s support looms large within the district, Deutsch also landed the support of City Council Speaker Melissa Mark- Viverito.

“Chaim has the experience, compassion and dedication that South Brooklyn families need in their Councilman. Chaim has made it a priority to stand up for senior citizens, students and the most vulnerable among us. I am proud to endorse his re- election to the Council,” said Mark-Viverito.

The support of both Nelson and Mark-Viverito is going to make it that much harder for Yeger to jump into the race, but even if he doesn’t Deutsch won’t have a cakewalk in facing Republican Steve Saperstein in the general election. The district, largely conservative and Russian- American, was one of the few that Donald Trump won in the last presidential election.

But for now, Deutsch is pleased in how his campaign for re-election is moving along.

http://www.kingscountypolitics.com/deutsch-sews-mark-viverito-mike-nelson-support/ 4/5 7/27/2017 Deutsch Sews Up Mike Nelson, Mark-Viverito Support “The partnership of Speaker Mark-Viverito and former Councilman Michael Nelson has been integral to accomplishing great things for our district. I have been proud to count Mike as a close friend for more than 18 years, and I am honored to have his support. I look forward to continue working hard to bring results for the residents of the 48thCouncil District in my second term,” said Deutsch.

It is important that we work together to unite the different communities in Southern Brooklyn. This is why I strongly endorse Chaim Deutsch for re-election,” said Ari Kagan.

Margarita Kagan pointed to Deutsch’s record on constituent services in her endorsement. “Councilman Deutsch’s office cares about every person who needs

He is widely respected in our community. I am happy to endorse Councilman Chaim Deutsch for re-election,” she said.

Davidzon said he decided to endorse Deutsch after having many conversations with residents in the district.

“Chaim has done a lot for the District and greatly improved quality of life for its residents. I wish Chaim Deutsch the best and I am ready to work with him in the next 4 years,’ said Davidson.

Deutsch thanked Davidzon, Ari Kagan and Margarita Kagan for their dedication to the people of the district.

“Whether it is working to protect and enhance the lives of our seniors, ensuring a proper education for our children, or giving our first responders the resources they need to keep our families safe, I look forward http://www.kingscountypolitics.com/early-endorsements-score-ko-win-deutsch-primary/ 4/6 7/27/2017 Early Endorsements Could Score KO Win For Deutsch In Primary to working with Gregory, Ari and Margarita as I look to my next term on the City Council,” he said.

The endorsements comes as Yeger, who is a first cousin to Deutsch’s wife, or mishpocha, the yiddish term for family through blood or family relations, has set up an exploratory committee to challenge Deutsch in the September primary.

Yeger, is a sharp political operator who is very close with Midwood/Boro Park City Councilman David Greenfield. Sources say Yeger is holding a fundraiser this week.

Should Deutsch coast through to a primary win, he will face Republican Steve Saperstein in the November general election.

City to give Mellett Playground a much-needed makeover

Mellett’s getting a makeover!

The city plans to revamp the neglected and rundown Mellett Playground, where kids are forced to play in dirty, standing water, and on slides that likely haven’t been upgraded since the turn of the century, said the local pol. http://www.brooklyndaily.com/stories/2017/29/bn-mellet-park-renovations-2017-07-14-bk.html 2/3 7/27/2017 City to give Mellett Playground a much-needed makeover • Brooklyn Daily “I don’t think it was updated since the last time in 1995,” said Councilman Chaim Deutsch (D–Sheepshead Bay), who together with Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito (D–Manhattan), allocated $2 million for the playground’s makeover.

Nearby residents have complained for months about the Avenue V park’s shoddy play equipment, faulty spray showers, and a water fountain that don’t properly drain. Little kids who don’t know any better splash and play in the wet stuff that’s a breeding ground for disease-infected bugs, said Zach Challenger.

“It’s a health problem, the children are playing in water that does not drain away, it stands,” he said. “It’s not good, it’s dirty water.”

Yet, on one of the hottest days of the summer, July 13, the spray showers weren’t even turned on — because of an underground sewage block, said Parks Department spokeswoman Maeri Ferguson — forcing youngsters who were just looking for a fun way to cool off, to fill up their balloons and water guns with the faint stream from the drinking fountain, according to photographer Georgine Benvenuto.

And the park — between E. 13th and E. 14th streets — also has uneven, trip-prone flooring that could be dangerous for little kids running around. It’s about time the neighborhood park gets much-needed repairs, said Peter Forte, who lives just a few blocks away.

“We need new sprinklers, we need new everything, the whole park needs a new renovation,” he said.

The Parks Department will invite the community for a scoping meeting to get suggestions and feedback on what they would like to see in the park as part of its capital-project process, though no date has been set, said a spokeswoman for the agency. But since it will be a few years before workers break ground, the Parks Department is working quickly to fix the clogged drain, and in the meantime, suggests overheated locals to enjoy the working spray showers at the nearby Kelly Park and Galapo Playground, both less than a 15 minutes walk away from Mellett, the spokeswoman said.

And Mellet Playground’s water fountain is not affected by the sewage block because it runs on a different line and is safe to drink, she said.

Looking for parking in New York City can be an aggravating experience, frequently contributing to congestion on our roads. Drivers are often forced to choose between circling endlessly in search of an available spot and parking blocks away from their destination. Last year, Councilman Chaim Deutsch (D – BROOKLYN) launched an initiative to alleviate this issue within his district. To date, Councilman Deutsch has successfully advocated for more than one hundred new parking spots within the 48th council district.

At a recent NYC Council Education hearing, Councilman Deutsch called on the city to conduct an in-depth study to determine the feasibility of providing faculty parking in the areas around New York City schools. Deutsch accomplished this at Madison High School, by petitioning the NYC Department of Transportation to convert nineteen parallel parking spaces into forty angled spots on Avenue P between Bedford Avenue and East 27th Street. The added parking will be an asset for residents and school sta×.

Deutsch is maximizing the space available for motorists to park in other locations as well, changing thirty-three parallel spaces on Batchelder Street to seventy angled spots, as well as two separate locations on Avenue P, where a total of sixty angled spots were added. Deutsch said, “Our lives are already busy and sometimes stressful. My job is to make things easier for my constituents, and that’s why I’m proud to have spearheaded this successful e×ort to provide additional parking options for my constituents. Thank you to NYC Department of Transportation Commissioner Polly Trottenberg, Brooklyn Commissioner Keith Bray, and Acting Deputy Commissioner Rebecca Zack for their collaboration.” Councilman Deutsch is continuing to collaborate with the NYC Department

This week, Councilman Chaim Deutsch was joined by Commissioner James O’Neill to dedicate three auxiliary police vans in memory of Auxiliary Assistant Chief Tony Christo.

Deutsch secured funding for the three vans in the city’s capital budget, and directed the money to ensure that each of the three precincts in his district received one of these new vans. The 60th, 61st, and 70th precincts are three of the highest performing precincts in New York City, all ranked in the top ten for crime reduction. The auxiliary units in each of

With more than 4,500 oÕcers volunteering over one million hours of service every year, we owe them a debt of gratitude. I want to thank Commissioner O’Neill for taking the time to come into our district and honor Chief Christo’s memory, and thank the auxiliary police oÕcers for their dedication.”

Deutsch and O’Neill were joined at the dedication ceremony by the commanding oÕcer of Patrol Borough Brooklyn South, Chief Steven Powers and the commanding oÕcer of the Auxiliary Police Section, Inspector Phylis Byrne.

If everyone can chip in and do their part to put our trash in litter baskets, we can keep our waterways clean and that will keep the environment clean, keeps our marine life clean and allows people to enjoy fishing and recreational activities, like swimming, without having trash ruin the day,” said DEP Spokesperson Doug Auer.

News ‘Discount’ Supermarket Finally Replaces Brighton Beach’s Shuttered Met Foods

Brighton Beach residents finally have a discount grocery store within walking distance, in an area that has been a supermarket desert since the Met Foods shuttered five years ago.

On Tuesday afternoon, building owners, politicians, and customers were thrilled as crowds packed into Big Bazaar supermarket at the corner of Brighton Beach Avenue and Ocean Parkway, a development we announced last October.

The 18,000 square foot supermarket, which sits under the Q train staircase, will stock American, Russian, Kosher, and other ethnic items and undercut even the old Met Food prices, said co-owner Ajay Sarin. In addition to groceries, the store boasts colorful aisles with cleaning and beauty products as well as household items.

The store aims to fill a gaping hole in the neighborhood’s grocery market, which is flooded by high-end Russian stores like Taste of Russia, Gourmanoff, and Brighton Bazaar — places that locals say don’t offer staples at regular prices.

“The Russian stores don’t carry everything,” said real estate broker Igor Libo, who connected the Sarin with the building owners. “We have gourmet, now we needed necessities. This is the missing piece of the puzzle.”

The Met Foods, open for 30 years at 100 Brighton Beach Ave, shuttered in 2012, leaving a lack of affordable and generic grocery stores within walking distance and a vacant building. But the neighborhood-conscious owners were waiting to land another moderately priced grocer, said Suzette Bonsignore, whose family has owned the building since the 1940s.

“We could have built high-rises, we had developers clamoring to get in,” said Suzette. “But people were crying out for a grocery store. And the most important thing to us is this neighborhood.”

Big Bazaar was scheduled to open ten months ago but got slammed by previous building violations, said Sarin, who operates several other grocery stores in the city. But now that it’s open, the business brought 25 new jobs to a diverse sampling of local residents, said City Councilmember Chaim Deutsch, who worked to ensure a stock of Kosher food a the store.

“This is a good neighborhood, people live a long life here,” said proprietor Louise Bonsignore, who is chipper at 91 years old. “I remember when bungalows lined the block.”

“We’re very happy to work with such lovely people and excited about this new adventure,” said Suzette, who was moved to tears of relief and joy at the storefront, flanked by balloons and a DJ for Tuesday’s grand opening.

Chaim Deutsch Sews Up Mikea Nelson, Mark-Viverito Support

Written by KCP Sta×  Created: May 17, 2017

Proving that political blood is thicker than mishpucka water, City Councilman Chaim Deutsch Friday received support in his re-election bid from his onetime mentor, former 48th District City Councilman Mike Nelson.

The support comes less than two weeks after Nelson turned up at a fundraiser for Deutsch’s cousin through his wife, Kalman Yeger, or what’s known in Yiddish as mishpucka – family through relatives. a

Yeger is widely rumored to wanting to challenge Deutsch – with a wink from City Councilman David GreenÒeld (D-Boro Park, Midwood, Bensonhurst) – in an Orthodox Jewish battle of political one-upmanship.

Deutsch worked for Nelson before the latter was term-limited out of oÕce three years ago in the same 48th City Council district covering Sheepshead Bay, Manhattan Beach, Brighton Beach and Southern Midwood and he likes the work Deutsch is doing.

“Chaim has always been a tireless advocate for our community. During the time he worked in my (Front left to right) Former City Councilman Michael Nelson, City Councilman Council oÕce, and now as our Councilman representing the 48th Council District, he has fought to Chaim Deutsch, And Democratic District Leaders Ari Kagan And Margarita Kagan. protect and improve the lives of his constituents. He has done an extraordinary job during his Òrst Photo By Stephen Wit term, and I am delighted to stand with Ari Kagan and Margarita Kagan to show our support for Chaim,” said Nelson.

While Nelson’s support looms large within the district, Deutsch also landed the support of City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito.

“Chaim has the experience, compassion and dedication that South Brooklyn families need in their Councilman. Chaim has made it a priority to stand up for senior citizens, students and the most vulnerable among us. I am proud to endorse his re-election to the Council,” said Mark-Viverito.

The support of both Nelson and Mark-Viverito is going to make it that much harder for Yeger to jump into the race, but even if he doesn’t Deutsch won’t have a cakewalk in facing Republican Steve Saperstein in the general election. The district, largely conservative and Russian-American, was one of the few that Donald Trump won in the last presidential election.

But for now, Deutsch is pleased in how his campaign for re-election is moving along.

“The partnership of Speaker Mark-Viverito and former Councilman Michael Nelson has been integral to accomplishing great things for our district. I have been proud to count Mike as a close friend for more than 18 years, and I am honored to have his support. I look forward to continue working hard to bring results for the residents of the 48thCouncil District in my second term,” said Deutsch.a

Orthodox Jewish mom uses emoji in Ñght for women's rights

BY ERIN DURKIN NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Monday, July 10, 2017, 4:00 AM

A Brooklyn woman stirred up some Insta-controversy with a strategically placed emoji that doubled as a sly stand in favor of women’s rights. Adina Miles, an Orthodox Jewish mom and popular social media personality from Flatbush, says she’s been barraged with online abuse since using an emoji to shield her face in a newspaper that wouldn’t print a photo of a woman. “I love my community. I’m not going anywhere. People can threaten me and ask me to leave. I’m Jewish whether they like that or not,” said Miles, 29, who runs the Flatbush Girl Instagram account. Miles took out an ad in the Flatbush Jewish Journal to thank City Councilman Chaim Deutsch for joining her for a local grafäti cleanup. The ad featured a photo of herself smiling next to the Brooklyn pol and a crew of volunteers. But the paper refused to run a photo of her unblurred face, saying it violated modesty rules. They also refused to print the word “girl” in her moniker — so she slapped an emoji laughing so hard tears pour out of its eyes over her face, hoping to draw attention to the absurdity of the rule.

“They were making me not show my face. They wouldn’t let me print the word ‘girl.’. . . I wanted to become a scapegoat bringing attention to this issue,” said Miles, who also changed “Flatbush Girl” to “Flatbush Boy” in the message thanking Deutsch for his help. “We’re not even second-class citizens. We’re not being let in,” she said, adding she wanted “to bring awareness to how ridiculous the standards of the publication have become.”

Since posting a video on Instagram commenting on the incident, the married mother of two boys said online detractors have threatened to ostracize her children from community institutions. Commenters on her page have derided her as a “self-hating Jew” and said she dresses “like a slut,” but Miles said messages of support have also poured in from women around the tristate area. The newspaper did not respond to requests for comment. Other Brooklyn Orthodox papers have drawn attention for refusing to print photos of women — most famously when the Hasidic paper Der Zeitung deleted then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and another female staffer from an iconic photo of the White House Situation Room during the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden. Miles, who married at 18 and follows the tenets of , said it’s not the ärst time she’s drawn a backlash with her online postings, where she mixes seläes and memes with opinions that sometimes irk her more conservative co-religionists. “It’s sad,” she said. “I ät the mold and the cookie cutter on paper. The only difference is I’m not afraid to speak out.”

The city and Sheepshead Bay pol clean up the trash-filled bay

Chaim Deutsch’s office http://www.brooklyndaily.com/stories/2017/29/bn-sheepshead-bay-clean-up-2017-07-14-bk.html 1/2 7/27/2017 The city and Sheepshead Bay pol clean up the trash-filled bay • Brooklyn Daily Before: Trash piled up near the Emmons Avenue boardwalk.

They’re taking out the trash in Sheepshead Bay!

Sheepshead Bay Councilman Chaim Deutsch, along with volunteers and workers from the Department of Environmental Protection, skimmed the bay’s shallow waters to scoop out the refuse that routinely piles up near the edges of the basin on July 10. The quaint fishing village is a beautiful neighborhood to live and raise a family in, but not when there are mounds of trash floating in the water, said the local pol.

“Protecting our environment is a group effort, and I was glad to work with the NYC Department of Environmental Protection and community volunteers to clean up our Bay,” said Deutsch. “We all need to take responsibility for keeping our neighborhood clean by being careful about where we throw our trash and cleaning up after ourselves. We live in a beautiful community, and we deserve to enjoy it!”

Plastic bottles, plastic bags, leftover food, and other garbage often collect near the Holocaust Memorial between Emmons Avenue and Shore Boulevard — and besides it being a major eyesore, if it isn’t cleaned up, it can harm the marine wildlife, and pose potential health risks to people, said a spokesman for the Department of Environmental Protection.

The vessels the environmental agency typically uses for similar clean-up projects are too large to float underneath the Ocean Avenue Pedestrian Footbridge that connects Sheepshead Bay and Manhattan Beach, so instead two teams set out on small boats and used nets to scoop up the filth, said the spokesman.

Work slated to begin in Sheepshead Bay’s courts

By Julianne Cuba Brooklyn Daily

Photo by Jordan Rathkopf On board: Stanton Court homeowner Mike Rodriguez was skeptical of the city’s plans at first, but has since come around.

Back to work: Build It Back plans to fix the sewers and raise the homes in a private section of Sheepshead Bay known as the “courts.”

They’re movin’ on up!

The city’s Hurricane Sandy-recovery program Build It Back plans to finally break ground this month to raise the homes in a private section of Sheepshead Bay known as the “courts,” while also replacing its old and clogged sewers to prevent future flooding.

The neighborhood’s private pipes, which the city is not responsible for fixing, connect dozens of homes to the public line — and after years of planning, pleading, meeting, and negotiating, Build it Back has agreed to replace the shoddy infrastructure on the taxpayer’s dime — just this one time — if the homeowners agreed to form a homeowners association and maintain the sewer lines in the future.

It took months to get most homeowners on board with the association, so nearly five years after the storm ripped through and destroyed the neighborhood, it’s about time repair work begins, said one Stanton Court homeowner, who originally scoffed at the idea.

“I’m feeling good about it, I’m glad it’s going to happen,” said Mike Rodriguez. “Hopefully everything is done according to plan.”

Worker’s for the city’s sluggish, scandal-ridden, and over-budget Build it Back program plan to put their shovels to the dirt within the this week to start replacing the failing sewers that often flood with sewage in heavy rain — they will also rebuild 17 homes and elevate 15 of them that sit about five feet below sea level in two different sections of the courts, bounded by Nostrand Avenue, Batchelder Street, Shore Parkway, and Emmons Avenue.

http://www.brooklyndaily.com/stories/2017/28/all-sheepshead-bay-courts-rising-2017-07-14-bk.html 1/2 7/27/2017 Work slated to begin in Sheepshead Bay’s courts • Brooklyn Daily The project took a lot of planning in order to overcome the courts’ unique difficulties — such as extremely narrow streets, wide enough only for foot traffic — so it’s great to see it all finally happening, said the local councilmember.

“I believe it’s one of the only places in the city where they are not only rebuilding and elevating, but also rebuilding the infrastructure. People have been living there for years with sewer backups — literally sewer water — where every time it rains there, was there was not puddles or ponding, but more like pools of water,” said Councilman Chaim Deutsch (D–Sheepshead Bay). “And I believe that working with Build it Back and with residents there, finally it’s becoming a reality where we will improve the people’s quality of life.”

Some worry that the courts’ rows of homes, many of which have been abandoned and overrun by cats in the wake of the 2012 superstorm, could potentially be an open invitation for homeless people to take up residence. Rodriguez and his wife have already moved out of their Stanton Court home, and in with their son in Coney Island in preparation for work to begin, but he still repeatedly checks in on his house to deter those less fortunate from moving in, he said.

“I’m concerned about the squatters coming in, that’s one of the reasons why I’ve been staying here,” Rodriguez said.

But Build it Back will ensure the security of each home, said a spokesman.

“Safety and security of residents’ homes in Build It Back’s care are a top priority,” said Matt Viggiano. “Build It Back works with local precincts in areas where homes are under construction so that all safety concerns are addressed quickly.”

Work is slated to begin this week and wrap by the end of the year or early 2018, a spokesman said.
