Criminal advocates know they have a friend in the Civilian Complaint Review Board. By encouraging their clients
to file false & frivolous CCRB complaints, they can sidetrack court cases and get guilty gang members,
drug dealers and thieves out of jail. You are seeing the results on your streets.

So why rewrite the City Charter to give CCRB more money, more staff and more power to help criminals walk free?

We visit James Supple’s OldRockawayPhotos.com site all the
time to see what was then and what is now, but sometimes
change happens so fast that Then and Now becomes Then, Then,
and Now. This scene on Beach 116th Street is a north-looking
view with one look from the 1970s (we see a Bingo Hall which
was once a supermarket that became the Beach Club). You can
see the Beach Club in the next photo with just the edge of the

are changing the landscape of the street in a dramatic way.

In The Rockaway Times.

This past weekend, the eighth-grade boys from St. Francis de

Sales split the weekend with a loss on Saturday and a win on
Sunday. Saturday's game against Our Lady of Grace ended in a
7-5 loss, with Joe Butler scoring all five of the team's goals, four
of them unassisted, and one assist going to Ian Erhard. Sunday
however, resulted in a 2-1 win against Resurrection Ascension,
with Matty Martin scoring both goals for SFDS, assisted by Ryan 718-634-3030
Mazzuchan and Joe Butler, respectively. The game became close Ads@Rockawaytimes.com
late in the second half when R/A was awarded a penalty kick,
only to be saved by goalie Matthew Bambury.
