During my campaign I\u2019ve met community members from every corner of the world. Despite the vast differences in culture, religion and language I found common values that connect the communities and establish a unifying culture that makes this area of Brooklyn special. One of those values is the recognition of those that selflessly serve the needs of others, particularly children.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1598\" style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1598\" class=\"wp-image-1598 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/jig.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2025\/06\/Tyrick.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"252\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1598\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tyrick Smith-Carter<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On June 15, 2025, Legros Sports will host the 5 th Annual Tyrick Smith-Carter Memorial Judo Tournament at the Brooklyn Sports Club. The tournament attracts players from across the region and celebrates the life\u2019s work of an East New York Native, Tyrick Rakim Smith Carter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tyrick was a beloved assistant coach and Starrett Judo Alumna. Born September 3, 1992, Tyrick grew up in Starrett City. He was raised by Geneva Smith and attended IS 364 where he was introduced to the sport of Judo by Sensei Parnell Legros. Tyrick fell in love with the sport and that love motivated him to earn his black belt as well as coaching certification in Judo. The Judo program at Starrett is nationally renowned for producing some of the countries\u2019 most talented players and countless champions at varying levels of the sport.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On June 23, 2020, Tyrick\u2019s life was tragically taken from the community he loved but not before he had a significant and positive impact on the lives of numerous young people through his work in Judo and the NYC Department of Education. He is remembered by those who worked and trained with him for his inspirational refrain \u201cwhere there is effort there is accomplishment\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I encourage the community to come out and support the event, especially the children participating in the competition. A strong turnout only affirms the values that make the neighborhoods of East New York, Brownsville, Cypress Hills and Bushwick so great.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>5th Annual Tyrick Smith-Carter Memorial Judo Tournament<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>WHEN:<\/strong> Competition Date: Sunday, June 15, 2025, 9am<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>WHERE:<\/strong> Competition Venue: Brooklyn Sports Club, 1540 Van Siclen Ave Brooklyn, NY 11239<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Duane Frankson (Community member &amp; Judicial Candidate for Kings County Civil Court ) The neighborhoods that make-up the 7 th Municipal Judicial District (East New York, Brownsville, Cypress Hills and Bushwick) are rich in diversity.
