As St. Patrick’s Day approaches, numerous events are happening all over the city. St. Patrick’s Day is a great experience in Gerritsen Beach, so check out this information to make your St. Patrick’s Day all it can be. Continue reading St. Patrick’s Day Approaches We received this letter to the editor and we feel as though it should be posted for all to read and discuss. Earnest Lee Saddened Cute name huh? Not as clever as Maury Povich or anonymous1, but like most sane people, I want my nights filled with calm serenity, not antagonized by a band of minor malignancies tearing at the outer shell of my hard earned life for the ego boost they must desperately need. I hope I can rouse some real concern in my neighbors that will bring more attention to the “I’m a GB lifer” parental failures and their loser spawn. Yet the spawn are committing only misdemeanor crime so they can stay the angels of GB since Mom and Dad may not bail them out, on the rare chance they are arrested. Tough to raise a scofflaw renegade snotnose, might miss a Jerry Jerry Jerry thrill! A few may pump gas or even work civil service to keep a roof for mom. That’s a “good” boy, just misunderstood and frustrated, but “brave and self-reliant”. Lesser evils to cover the basics with a justification icing on top.
Overnight graffiti appeared up on homes and businesses all over New Section’s Bevy Court, Everrett and Devon Avenue’s. Graffiti has been popping up on Bus Shelters over the course of the last few weeks as well as smaller unnoticeable places. Now it seems like the perpetrator(s) went all out and cause a decent amount of damage. “This is a disgrace and totally intolerable,” a neighbor who did want to be identified said by e-mail. “I want to perpetrators to go to jail. These kids needs to be stopped.” We have been getting word of small groups of neighborhood kids calling themselves a few different gang related names (yes, seriously)trying to wreak havoc but this may be the damage of a single person. Graffiti damages our property, and impacts our community. Help eliminate graffiti — report it immediately! We have been getting reports of Graffiti and witnessing an incline in graffiti around since the holiday season. Graffiti damages property, and casts a bad light on our community. Don’t let vandals take control of theneighborhood. We encourage everyone to help combat this problem! Within 24 hours of graffiti appearing:
Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Remember, graffiti effects everyone!
This morning a water main broke in front of 3 Canton Court.

Channel 11 WPIX, which apparently has no shame getting leads from us at this point, chimes in on the parking war in Gerritsen Beach. I hope no one has family, friends, or an elderly relative with a home health aid – there will be no parking. These pictures were collected in about 15 minutes of driving along. There were even cones on Gerritsen Avenue!
State Senator Marty Golden was inaugurated Thursday, about two months after defeating democratic challenger Mike DiSanto. It was his fifth time taking the oath of office as State Senator in New York. Before a packed PS 228 David A Boody Golden vowed to get New Yorkers back to work and bring back financial common sense.
 Gerritsen Beach Contingent  Pastor Nebrasky Receiving Recognition Award from GBPOA - 2007 After 10 years as pastor and 20 years in the ministry, Pastor Nebrasky is leaving St. James. Amidst the recent string of hardships facing religious institutions, St. James finds itself under financial stress. Nebrasky’s inability to work part-time has led to a mutual decision between her and the St. James council; for her to step aside. “One of my fond memories was September 16, 2001, when former mayor Giuliani came down to St. James to give the bride away, as the bride’s brother (a firefighter) had died in action a year earlier… …it was a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony,” the pastor said. The wedding date was only five days after the World Trade Center attack. “The journey has been wonderful,” said Nebrasky. She and her husband of 40 years, Ira, have been part of the community for nearly a decade. She currently holds a honorary Fire Chief position Department Chaplain position (alongside Pastor Farrell)with the Vollies and sits on the GB Fire Department Council. “The community really embraced us,” she added, being proud of her administration for reaching out and inviting the community groups to come and be part of the St. James family. “She’s certainly been available to each and every organization,” commented George Broadhead of the Gerritsen Beach Property Owners Association. “You could always depend on her for our Veterans services, Memorial Day, Veterans Day. Personally, I like her very much. I am not sure if she is going to be moving away, but she surely will be missed.” Her last day preaching at mass a worship service will be Sunday, January 23rd, at 11 AM, to be followed by a coffee hour reception in the basement of St. James. “It’s hard to say we won’t be here anymore, but we look forward to see what God has in store for Gerritsen Beach and for [me].” Update: for clarity St. James no longer requires a full time Pastor and Pastor Nebrasky would rather be involved with a full-time ministry. Dear residents of gerritsen beach both near and far.
