een a guy that we'd be still talking about today," Laino said. "Here was a guy who never played footballbefore high school....He was going to be one of the biggest recruits that New York City had in a very longtime."Instead, his right leg, riddled with bullets, was amputated. His football career was over. Sitting in thehospital after the shooting, Williams struggled to figure out what to do next. What would he do with hislife? Who would he become?"Sometimes I would wake up and see Coach Laino and his son (Frank) just standing there," Williams said."Other times I would wake up and see Coach (Daniel) Perez and other players there. They were alwaysthere for support."In that regard, not much has changed. For the past two summers, coaches and alumni have held "ChrisWilliams Beach Day," an idea hatched when Williams told Laino that he had yet to set foot on a beachsince the shooting.Wearing a life vest, Williams now swims for hours on end in the waters near Laino's beach front home inthe Rockaways."If it was up to him, he would swim to Europe," Laino said.To this day, Williams wonders why they go out of their way. He may not consider himself a hero, butothers do.Williams volunteers with the Faces Maimonides Theater Group, a program in which teenagers performscenes about abusive relationships, bullying and other adolescent issues. He recently wrote andperformed a monologue about his experience getting shot."He's an incredibly talented actor," said Susan Montez, the group's director. "He's so willing to bevulnerable and real in front of people, and that's such a gift. I've seen him bring people to tears with hisperformances. He inspires people."Page 136 of 154
She's giving young immigrants a voiceSaturday, October 29, 2011, 5:37 AMBy Maura GrunlundSTATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — A real job and a driver’s license are mere dreams for Port Richmond residentSara Martinez, 22, and other teens and young adults who were brought to Staten Island from LatinAmerican countries as children.She is among the many undocumented young people in the borough who are hoping that thegovernment will pass the Development, Relief and Education for Minors (DREAM) Act, which wouldallow them to obtain driver’s licenses, health insurance, work authorization papers and financial aid forcollege.While a state DREAM Act wouldn’t be a path to citizenship, it would overcome many of the obstacles ofan undocumented person unable to obtain a Social Security number.Ms. Martinez is more fortunate than most undocumented young adults, since she is on track to earn abachelor’s degree in biology from the College of Staten Island. She and her parents worked andsacrificed to raise the tuition, since undocumented students aren’t eligible for scholarships and otherforms of financial aid.Ms. Martinez was brought to this country from Mexico when she was about 1½ years old by her mother.Her father already was living on Staten Island. Her two brothers and one sister were born in this countryand thus are citizens. The family has moved around a bit but mostly has lived in Port Richmond.Ms. Martinez attended PS 19 in West Brighton, PS 20 in Port Richmond and Markham IntermediateSchool in Graniteville prior to graduating from Port Richmond High School in 2006.Her status started to hit home in high school, when the lack of a Social Security number prevented Ms.Martinez from obtaining a license when most of her friends were driving. She was unable to get workPage 137 of 154
