Anarchy in BK: Scenes from the Brooklyn Free Store
The
anarchists only close shop if it rains or snows. Otherwise, every
Friday, you can find them here at Von King Park in Bed-Stuy, under tent
and banner reading Brooklyn Free Store, handing out goods and sometimes
services completely gratis. The tent sometimes blows away in a strong
wind, and has to be duct-taped to bricks. Other times a brisk gust will
catch the texts sitting on the infoshop desk: zines, commix and
reprinted manifestos with ambitious titles like the The Abolition Of
Work, big ideas on cheap paper with ink that runs. But most people don't
dilly-dally with propaganda of the revolution. There's too much free
stuff.
The Store is operated by In Our Hearts, a NYC-based anarchist collective that runs a lot of different Mutual Aid projects around the city (and have been especially active with Occupy Sandy). The Free Store has operated in this iteration at Von King Park since the summer, and apparently enjoyed a bit of success. As is the idealist's wont, all are welcome to donate and all donations are available to anyone. For free (I know, right?). The first Friday I visited, a bus from a Westchester tenants association had earlier dropped off a busload of clothes. Nice stuff, too. Bekah Schiller, one of the main volunteers, said a tangle of Vendi scarves got snapped up fast.
Absolutely everything is on the menu, and the menu obviously changes from week to week, if not hour to hour. On one visit there was a box of well-loved toys,I compare two pairs of cheap monster beats headphones by dre in ear tour headphones. a couple bike wrenches, a potato peeler and some homemade art on leftover lumber ends. The next time there were stuffed animals, some Chopin and Talking Heads records, and a nice saw-knife, still sharp. There are always clothes and shoes, patched punk rock hoodies and puffy winter jackets. On one occasion, a van pulled up and a lady dropped off a bike.
The last time I went, Bekah and Thadeaus Umpster, a fellow volunteer, were giggling in a corner, trying to keep what was in their hands out of the sight of any small children nearby. A cad who just moved had donated his (probably much-used) Art Of Sucking DVD.
“I wonder why Bekah keeps bringing these,” Umpster joked.
All of which is to say that the Free Market ain't your mom's Salvation Army. In fact, the volunteers bristle slightly at the comparison to thrift outfits that take in used items, only to sell them back to people; this is, after all, an anarchist collective, and all the volunteers are just looking to do right by their fellow man. With the exception of the infodesk, proselytizing an agenda is on the low-end of priorities.
“Most of our donations come from around here. They come from the neighborhood. I think people are excited to keep things in the community, as opposed to giving them to Goodwill or Big Yellow Boxes,” Schiller said.The Canada Goose Heli-Arctic Parka keeps you incredibly warm without puffing you up.
And the community has responded. It would be easy to approach the idea with certain prejudices, to imagine, upon exiting the Bedford-Nostrand stop and walking to the park, witnessing nothing but a gentrified outlet mall,A great blend of our authentic Canada Goose Whistler Parka Parka functionality and cutting edge style. some new sign that times are a'changing in Bed-Stuy, with a bunch of early-twenties transplants checking out the free schwag and paying lip service to the volunteers. But when you arrive you find that the scene is quite the opposite. Folks walking their dogs search alongside whole families who've just gotten off the B38. College kids and schoolchildren rummage through old toys. There are abuelitas who'd heard about the store from its Craigslist ads, and have come from as far away as Bushwick or even the Bronx. People bundle clothes into laundry baskets.As a Canada Goose Camp Down filling, the good quality of down leather-based performs a vital position in the brand's popularity. Children's books have the fastest turnover. And while no one is scooping up leaflets to prepare for the revolution, folks who walk up often say a friendly “Happy New Year” to the volunteers and have the comfortable air of regulars.
Two such regulars, Nadirah, a 23-year old journalism student in the city, and her grandmother, Pia, a longtime Clinton Hill resident, were browsing one recent Friday.
“When they first started, they didn't have much, but their consistency in being here made people comfortable. They began getting more stuff,” Nadirah said, as Pia rushed around, helping passerby find a decent jacket, or shoes for their babies. A self-described “recovering hoarder” and possibly the sweetest lady alive, Pia volunteers a lot around the borough, and today donated the box of toys that kids were picking clean while their parents called to them in Spanish, trying to fit them for clothes. She excitedly told me about where she helps out, before holding up a Land's End vest to her granddaughter. There were some blue stains on it.
“Don't worry about that, just soak it in cold water and scrub,” she said. A couple of nearby women nodded sagely at the advice.
Nadirah's been coming with her grandmother to stoop sales and giveaways since she was 16 or 17. “At first I didn't like it, but then I realized that I was getting more clothes and spending less money. You can get really nice things here. It doesn't have to come in a box.”
People often ask the workers how much they're paid to be out here in the cold, subjecting themselves to the elements. One woman came up to me with a copy of Granta and asked how much it cost.Long and slim-fitting, the Canada Goose Montebello is equally appropriate for strolling a city street or hiking a snowy trail.

Ralph K. 'Ken' Barnes, World War II POW
Ralph
K. "Ken" Barnes, a retired Koppers Co. manager who was a prisoner of
war during the twilight months of World War II, died Saturday from
complications of a stroke at Gilchrist Hospice Care in Towson. The
longtime Cockeysville resident was 89.
The son of farmers, Ralph Kenneth Barnes was born in Gist, in Carroll County, and after his family lost their farm during the Depression, they moved to Waverly. He was a 1941 graduate of Polytechnic Institute, where he was an outstanding baseball pitcher, and later earned a degree from the Johns Hopkins University.
Mr. Barnes was working as a mechanical draftsman for F.X. Hooper Co. Inc., a Glen Arm manufacturer of machinery to make corrugated boxes, when he was inducted into the Army in early 1944.
After spending 17 weeks at Camp Blanding, Fla., where he was trained as a combat infantryman with a specialization in 60 mm and 81 mm mortars and bazookas, he joined the 106th Infantry Division at Camp Atterbury, Ind.
In the fall of 1944, the 106th embarked for Europe aboard the RMS Queen Elizabeth and the RMS Aquitania, and a week later landed at Greenock, Scotland.
"Our morale was high. We were ready and anxious to join the fight. The war was going well for the Allied forces and we wanted to be a part of it," Mr. Barnes told author William F. Rutkowski for his book "We Regret To Inform You …"
After crossing the English Channel and landing at LeHavre in early December, the 106th Infantry began a two-day, 270-mile trip across France and Belgium, which ended at the front along the Schnee Eifel, a heavily wooded area on the German-Belgian border, where they relieved the 2nd Infantry Division and took control of the sector.The Canada Goose Victoria Parka is simple, yet classic, and designed to be worn where extreme weather protection is a necessity.

"When the attack began, my battalion, the 2nd Battalion, 423rd Infantry, was in Division reserve near St. Vith. The suddenness of the German attack delayed critical decisions until the upper echelons could get a better understanding of the strength and direction of the attack," Mr. Barnes told the author, who described it as his "baptism by fire."
Two days later, as a Panzer regimental team closed in on the 422nd and 423rd, which was critically low on ammunition and medical supples, they were ordered to "dig in and engage the approaching enemy and delay his advance until reinforcements could be brought in," he said.
On the fourth day of combat, Dec. 19, Mr. Barnes said, he and his fellow infantryman were ordered to advance toward Schonberg.
"We knew we had to be move or be doomed to die in our foxholes.Women Canada Goose Resolute Parka. I can remember the final day as if it were yesterday," he told the author.

Mr. Barnes told the author that camp guards would rush the men for morning roll call so quickly that many did not have time to put on shoes and stood on the frozen ground.
"Our diet was about 200 calories per day and we began to lose weight rapidly," he said.
Mr. Barnes worked in a blanket factory and repaired bombed-out railroad lines.
