Sabrina, Denise and Youri’s dog, well-known and loved by regulars at the Prospect Park Lake Peninsula, has been missing since yesterday (Friday) afternoon. Here’s a photograph:
Sabrina is a Silver/Gray Female Toy Poodle, and weighs 7 pounds.
If you’ve seen Sabrina, or think you may have, please call Denise and Youri at 347-244-3520. You can also e-mail them at: ShamanDhia@yahoo.com or denisemortillaro@yahoo.com
She’s fourteen years old - but behaves like a puppy; white fur around her nose, and a wart on back.
Sabrina slipped out of the house Friday (10/19) at about 2:00pm - 620 Beverley Road - Beverly and Ocean Parkway. She’s not wearing any clothes, tags or collar.

From Commissioner Joseph Bruno’s announcement:
What if New York City were hit by a Category 3 Hurricane?
In New York City, over eight million people live on land that has 578 miles of waterfront. By 2030, the population is expected to reach nine million. At the same time, global climate change has put New York City at an increased risk for a severe coastal storm. In recent years, storms have become more intense, occur more frequently, and continue farther north than they have historically. The city would face many challenges during and after such a storm; one of the most difficult is the possibility that hundreds of thousands of people could lose their homes.
With financial support from the Rockefeller Foundation and in consultation with Architecture for Humanity-New York, the New York City Office of Emergency Management is sponsoring an open competition to generate solutions for post-disaster provisional housing. “What if New York City…” is a call for innovation and an opportunity for designers and policy-makers to collaborate on one of the biggest challenges facing densely settled urban areas after a disaster: how do we keep people safely and comfortably housed while reconstruction proceeds?
A jury of experts in the fields of architecture, design, urbanism, and government will choose ten entrants who will be awarded $10,000 each and technical support to develop their proposals into workable solutions. These solutions will provide support for New York’s most vulnerable communities and be a precedent for dense urban areas all over the world.
This design competition will rely on a fictional but realistic New York City neighborhood devastated by a hypothetical Category 3 hurricane.
The Lamp, a local media literacy project, is holding a free workshop
“geared towards parents and other adults who work with children and teens. It’s meant to be a kind of “Web 2.0 101″ that aims to teach grown-ups all about things like blogs, MySpace, Facebook, Flickr, and a few of the other crazy things that kids are getting into online. I’ll be covering the what, why, and how–what is it, why are the kids so into it, and how exactly does it work. We’ll be covering the safety issue too–a must for parents who are worried about the dangers of having their kids post so much info about themselves online. The two-part course will finish up with a hands-on session that will show parents how to set-up their own blogs and social networking profiles (and explain the benefits of doing so).
The workshops are 100% FREE and will be held at the Y in Park Slope.
The details:
Wednesdays, October 17 and 24
7-9pm
Cost - FREE
