Mama D's perfect night out is a perfect night in by Roderick Thomas
T
here are a ton of parties that spring up (and disappear) throughout the city. In New York, plenty of weekends are a tug of war between your FOMO (fear of missing out) and pestering indecisiveness. There are so many options, your bed, takeout and Netflix usually being a staple and comfortable one. If you’re too lazy to go out clubbing or bar-hopping, but feeling upbeat enough for a night out, head over to a new event that will give you all the takeout, with Netflix in bed feelings, while curing your FOMO. Imagine all-night cocktails and gourmet treats, lounge chairs and movies, its Mama D’s Sneaky Speakeasy. Diana Mino is a gourmet chef, photographer, community organizer and total cinephile, but who is Mama D and what the heck are her Sneaky Speakeasies? Mama D: [laughs] Well, Mama D is Diana, that’s me. I grew up outside of Philadelphia, in the rural suburbs. They were originally farms, so there’s a tiny country girl in me. Don’t get me wrong though, the moment I could make it to New York, I said “bye! Hello NYC.” Roderick: Tell me about your Sneaky Speakeasy. Mama D: Mama D’s Sneaky Speakeasy is a host of
events throughout the month that brings artists, music, food and film together for a great party.
ity. On a scale of Rachel Ray to Anthony Bourdain, she’s somewhere in the middle.
My first night at Mama D’s Sneaky Speakeasy, I arrived at the venue, inconspicuously located in a gem of an area called Bushwood, a name for the not-so-famous Ridgewood, Queens and Bushwick, Brooklyn border. I walked up to the tall brown doors. “I’m here” I texted. Outside of the cozy establishment, I stood waiting and listening to the muffled chatter of guests and then Mama D opened the door. In front of me was a smiling young woman, petite but with a strong and comedic personal-
Inside was a well-decorated scene. The walls were covered with art, red brick and blackboards. I stared at the perfectly placed cocktail glasses, sprinkling light over the neon bar; it was like I walked onto a set of an HBO show. As I took a sip of my first cocktail and sank into one of Mama D’s pillowy couches, the evening was off to a great start. The DJ began her set, scratching on real records, a refreshing departure from the Youtube playlist DJ’s

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE BEARD STREET FLOODING BY BRETT YATES
I
n early July, contractors for the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) dug up a section of Beard Street east of Van Brunt Street, prompting speculation as to whether the project (marked as a “sewer repair” on the adjacent noparking sign) signaled the beginning of a new effort to mitigate the persistent flooding just down the road at the Richards Street intersection. “DEP is out there now making some repairs to the sewer line in the area as well as some of the catch basins. This should help to improve drainage in the area,” explained DEP spokesperson Edward Timbers. Workers at the site, however, asserted that the purpose of the job was to improve the sewer in advance of possible development at 280 Richards Street, despite owner Thor Equities’ admission in February that it had dropped its plan to develop a massive office park on the vacant property. Taking a break in the afternoon heat, they noted that they’d heard that residents in the surrounding area already were dealing with sewage backups.
Not the sewers But the flooding, the workers said, was a whole different problem. That owed to drainage, and expanding sewer capacity wouldn’t help. Red Hook has a combined sewer system for stormwater and wastewater, so to some degree, drainage and sewage are interconnected issues. But by the majority of accounts – based on the smell – the floodwater on Beard Street is rainwater, not wastewater, although some residents disagree. The prob-
lem here, as most see it, is that, after a storm, the water won’t go down, not that it’s being spit back up by the storm drains.
ing on Beard Street is not, perhaps, that the city hasn’t resolved it. It’s that the city hasn’t even determined why it keeps happening.
Affecting local business
Councilman Carlos Menchaca agrees. “It’s deeply frustrating, and frankly totally unacceptable, that Beard Street continues to flood regularly. The Red Hook community needs to know yesterday what is causing this so we can fix it. We cannot live like this, especially knowing that climate change is going to make this worse one day,” he said.
The Beard Street flooding has plagued Red Hook for years. It occurs after every major rainfall. “I’m actually amazed at how bad it is,” said David Alessandro Gonzalez, a bartender at Rocky Sullivan’s at 46 Beard Street. David from Rocky's Rocky’s is the business closest to the problem area, and in Gonzalez’s view, the inundation cuts the bar off from customers. “It becomes a factor when no one wants to go past this flood, and it’s really deep. Pedestrian traffic is blocked. Smaller cars won’t go through it. Cars literally turn around and leave.” On bad days, if Gonzalez has to pick up limes from Fairway for the bar, he retreats one block back to Van Dyke Street instead of taking the direct route. If the DEP was cleaning out the catch basins closer to Van Brunt, would it make a difference at Richards, where the agency had already cleaned the catch basins last year? Gonzalez didn’t have high hopes. “I saw them dig a hole. I saw them putting in concrete. I’m not there 24/7, but I didn’t see anything that had to do with water remediation,” he commented. The surprising thing about the flood-
Red Hook Star-Revue
The underground stream City agencies’ indifference has made sleuths of the local citizenry, and today, theories about the source of the flooding abound. Red Hook Civic Association President John McGettrick believes that the water owes to a natural stream below street level, which has existed since the days when Red Hook was a tidal marsh. “There was, in fact, a creek – and still is, but now it’s underground – that ran pretty much along Richards Street down in this direction. A long time ago, people would John McGettrick be referred to in Red Hook – I guess well over a hundred years ago – as Pointers and Creekers,” he related. “And the Creekers were on the public housing side, and the Pointers were going toward the Van Brunt side, indicative of the fact that right on Rich-
www.star-revue.com
ards there was a creek.” In McGettrick’s opinion, the problem began with the construction of the IKEA at 1 Beard Street, which filled in Erie Basin’s old graving dock (or dry dock) – now a parking lot. According to McGettrick, springwater had escaped into the harbor through the graving dock every day. He wonders whether paving it over may have “truncated the flow.” Graving docks are massive tub-like structures that fill with water, allowing ships to enter, whereupon the water is drained, leaving the ship on blocks where it can be repaired. Carolina Salguero, the founder of the maritime nonprofit Portside New York, spent time in the graving dock as a photojournalist and knew the site well. “It just so happened that where they located the graving dock was near an underground stream,” she recalled. “It was roaring water, and they had to have pumps running to keep the graving dock dry.” Before the IKEA was built, consultants had to submit an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to the city. The 2004 EIS took note of the graving dock operations. “During the ship service period the dry dock must be maintained ‘dry.’ The dock extends approximately 42 feet below grade which corresponds to approximately 34 feet below the groundwater table. Groundwater infiltration and rainfall into the dock is dewatered/removed from the dry dock using stripping pumps and discharged

you very much,” said Wolff. The Conference quickly booked the downtown Brooklyn campus. “We had to scramble, and it’s smaller,” he added, but the alternative was unacceptable.
CONVERGENCE Dr. Frederick Mills of Bowie State University, a frequent Left Forum presenter, also insisted the condensed gathering was no reflection on a weakening of the Left. Just the opposite, explained Mills, a professor of philosophy with a specialization in Latin American governance. Instead, he asserted, “we are experiencing an awakening. A convergence” of disparate groups and voices into an amalgamation of like agendas. He listed the Answer Coalition, Black Alliance for Peace, LGBTQ entities, immigrant rights groups, Never Again, and many others.
Mills further emphasized that the disintegration of the centrist character of the Democratic Party is well underway. After a closed-door meeting between left-leaning Democrats: Occasio-Cortes, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib – and House Speaker Pelosi — which House leadership originally called for to reign-in the quartet for its public call to address intraparty differences — leadership was forced to argue The Four’s censure resolution against the White House for racist statements.
REST IN PEACE Author Chris Hedges, who also addressed the conference, notes in his book Death of the Liberal Class that what we’re seeing is the ‘center’ coming apart. Establishment Democrats are beholden to corporate funding, yet want to pretend to be progressive.
“Liberals created the US system of mass incarceration, the war on drugs, the re-colonization of Latin America, etc.” added Mills, “not just Republicans.” These are sharply distinguished from programs favored by those who see themselves as progressive. “The Left recognizes that (this schism) is structural , not just one individual in the White House and the growth of White Nationalism.”
BET THE FARM “The tide is already turning,” said Wolff. “In Fairfax, Virginia, Lee Carter, a politician in the mold of our own AOC, beat the leader of the Virginia State House, running openly as a Socialist.” With such opportunity in the offing – or at least some glimmer of understanding of who’s on which side — “it’s sad if we don’t grab it.”

Had the recent arrest of Julian Assange discouraged attendance?
The annual Left Forum conference had filled a prison-sized classroom complex known as John Jay College of Criminal Justice with intellectuals, sociologists, identity enthusiasts, panelists and lecturers for half a decade. So when the event was downsized to a more human scale at LIU last month, questions arose. Had the recent arrest of Julian Assange discouraged attendance? asked one neighboring business owner. Was the Left summering at the Pensacola Riviera? speculated another. Had the average lifespan of a radical gone that far past retirement age?

While preparing a conference along the usual lines — hundreds of presentations, thousands of attendees — John Jay administrators demanded the school both govern the event and retain the proceeds.

This dynamic is complemented by recent direct action accomplishments. These include the precedent-setting protection of the Venezuelan Embassy from occupation by Washington-backed anti-Venezuelan government forces for 37 days; immigrant rights groups’ blocking of ICE raids against suspected ‘undocumented’ immigrants outside targeted apartment complexes in Chicago and New York; Never Again (an anti-racist Jewish movement against concentration camps) in alliance with immigrant rights organizations turning out across the country at immigration facilities, following nationwide revulsion against breaking up families, mistreatment of children, and the operation of federal detention and concentration camps on US-Mexico borders and across the country.

owanus residents and nearby neighbors were satisfied, overall, with the new schematic designs for the incoming CSO tank facility, which were unveiled at the Community Board 6 Parks/Recreation/Environmental Protection Committee meeting on October 17. This follows community suggestions made at the first North Gowanus Visioning session, hosted by Council Member Stephen Levin’s office, on July 25. The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has announced more head house details, a revised list of materials that will be used and an outline of proposed open space features. The EPA, which is overseeing the Superfund project, has required the city to build a Combined Sewage Overflow (CSO) facility at the head end of the Gowanus Canal at Nevins and Butler Streets. The purpose of the CSO facility, which will have an eight-million-gallon capacity, is to limit the amount of sewage going into the Gowanus Canal. In addition to cleaning the canal, EPA has to make sure it doesn’t get polluted again. The canal is polluted not only by chemicals, but by a century of raw sewage that floods the canal every time it rains a lot.

Peter Reich, the formal CAG liaison to the North Gowanus Visioning Committee, has been encouraging CAG members to submit their thoughts, so the tally can be updated and forwarded to the city. Following that, EPA’s community spokesperson, Natalie Loney, who did attend, reassured members that Tsiamis and attorney Brian Carr will make subsequent meetings. “The conversation is expanding as we’re getting further and further along in the process,” she said. “I really encourage as many perspectives as possible because we want to be

This follows community suggestions made at the first North Gowanus Visioning session, hosted by Council Member Stephen Levin’s office, on July 25. The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has announced more head house details, a revised list of materials that will be used and an outline of proposed open space features. The EPA, which is overseeing the Superfund project, has required the city to build a Combined Sewage Overflow (CSO) facility at the head end of the Gowanus Canal at Nevins and Butler Streets. The purpose of the CSO facility, which will have an eight-million-gallon capacity, is to limit the amount of sewage going into the Gowanus Canal. In addition to cleaning the canal, EPA has to make sure it doesn’t get polluted again. The canal is polluted not only by chemicals, but by a century of raw sewage that floods the canal every time it rains a lot.

verybody has a story. But few know how to tell it well, where to send it, or how to convince an editor to pay for their words,” writes Professor Susan Shapiro in her latest book, The Byline Bible: Get Published in 5 Weeks, which is the print version of her wildly popular class, Instant Gratification Takes Too Long.

by to partially see the CSO tank and machinery inside. Kevin Keating, an associate and studio director of Selldorf Architects, continued the conversation by presenting the updated design for the head house. While the building’s exterior was announced to be whitecolored terracotta in July, Keating said the color has changed since then – now becoming brick-colored, based on the public’s initial reactions. It will also feature aluminum, concrete, copper, corten steel, galvanized steel, and terracotta louvres that will rotate on the building. “Gowanus is a little bit gritty, it has character. We looked around the
Head House The head house, slated to be where the Gowanus Station Building is now (234 Butler Street), is projected to take up 2.4 acres and will be slightly shorter in height than the old publishing plant for R. G. Dun & Company (located across the way at 255 Butler Street). Alicia West, director of pubic design outreach for DEP, said the head house is going to have electrical and mechanical components, odor control, and screens that will remove debris that comes in with sewage as it enters the facility. The building will have some areas of transparency for individuals walking
neighborhood and absorbed that,” Keating explained. He also said that they worked with the engineers to pull back the building a bit from the property line. A walkway to the facility will be made at the corner of Butler and Nevins Streets as a means to engage with and educate the public. This will allow people to come up to a digital display affixed to the building. “We hope we can curate this – show the history of Gowanus, what it’s about, what the facility is about, [and] what the DEP does overall as an organization,” Keating said.

Superfund group feels neglected By: Erin DeGregorio

owanus Canal Community Advisory Group (CAG) members expressed their frustration at their general monthly meeting, held on October 23, that schematic designs for the incoming Gowanus CSO Facility had not been shown to them. This follows the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP)’s latest presentation at the Community Board 6 Parks/Recreation/Environmental Protection Committee meeting that took place on October 17. Doug Sarno, the Gowanus Canal CAG Facilitator, said he invited the DEP to come to CAG’s October meeting, but DEP couldn’t make it, although they promised to send someone to a meeting in the near future. The group also complained that for the second month in a row, the Superfund project Chief Engineer Christos Tsiamis was not in attendance to provide his usual pithy project updates. “We would like to be a part of whatever design happens as a CAG,” said Chrissy Remein of Riverkeeper. “Part of the magic of this CAG is that
we get to ask very technical questions and, while we’re here, have those technical answers. So in order for this CAG to function we need access to that.” It was also brought up that information tallied from the first North Gowanus Visioning session (hosted by Council Member Stephen Levin’s office on July 25) could be improved and updated, as it did not represent all of CAG’s perspectives. Peter Reich, the formal CAG liaison to the North Gowanus Visioning Committee, has been encouraging CAG members to submit their thoughts, so the tally can be updated and forwarded to the city. Following that, EPA’s community spokesperson, Natalie Loney, who did attend, reassured members that Tsiamis and attorney Brian Carr will make subsequent meetings. “The conversation is expanding as we’re getting further and further along in the process,” she said. “I really encourage as many perspectives as possible because we want to be

supported by the entire community, rather than a portion of it.” In other business, Janet Aitchison was admitted as a new member-atlarge. The October meeting had the highest amount of members in attendance this calendar year so far – 24 members, when the average for quorum is 10. CAG members agreed that future meetings should be held in other locations throughout the area, similar to what CB6 does every month. The next and last general CAG meeting for 2018 will take place on Tuesday, November 27, 6:30 pm at St. Mary Star of the Sea Senior Apartments (41 1st Street). All CAG meetings are open to the public – one need not be a member to attend. If anyone is interested in joining the Gowanus Canal CAG, visit gowanuscag.org.
Gowanus Station Building During the community roundtable portion of the North Gowanus Visioning session in July, some felt the Gowanus Station building’s façade could be deconstructed and reused when making a potential entryway to the canal; others were all for preserving the building. However, it was announced at the meeting that some pediment, brickwork, terracotta scrolls and granite sills would be salvaged and reintegrated into the canal’s future esplanade and a brick wall along Butler Street. A few members from the Gowanus Canal Community Advisory Group (CAG), who were in attendance, voiced their disappointment that DEP had not consulted their group with design plans/presentations. One member also said the Gowanus Station building is “significant” in the neighborhood, as it is eligible for the State and National Registers of Historic Places. “The EPA is working with the State Historic Preservation Office to determine the direction that they would like us to take with the preservation aspect of this project,” West responded. “We are waiting on them to give us some sense of the direction they’d like us to go.” Public Open Space While the mostly underground tank is expected to take up one acre, 1.6

The inspiring bestseller began as a packet Shapiro used to hand out to students. It included how-to articles she’d written for Writer’s Digest, as well as examples of her favorite essays crafted by her students. Finally, after editors and pupils alike got after her to make the document official, Shapiro put it into publishable form. “I’m glad I waited. I have a stronger platform now,” says the writing mentor, who for twentyfive rewarding years has shown 25,000 students her method to success, from which there have come countless print and online essays, and 150 book deals. So, how did this black-clad, Michigan native with an MFA from NYU emerge as a literary guru? “Since the ‘80s, I’ve been obsessed. My whole life revolved around writing and getting published.” But what began as a way to make a living, became a calling. “I saw that writing is a way to turn your worst experiences into the most beautiful. Essays then led me to books.” The next logical step was to help launch other voices. “It’s good karma.” So much so, that not only have exciting and great things happened for Shapiro’s students, but for her too. The Byline Bible is her twelfth published manuscript, being used in graduate, college and high school classrooms, as well as by professionals, and novices trying to break in. Its publication means that now even more writers can gain from Shapiro’s experience with thousands of editors. Former student Elana Rabinowitz, who didn’t even have to wait until Shapiro’s class was over before getting published, says, “Sue has a rare gift. Aside from the fundamentals, she gives her students support, guidance and direction. She pushes you to be your better self.” Proof that her generosity goes be-

Cops of the month One night, around 3 am, Officers Mathews Mallex and Corran Nazere were at the corner of Douglass and Hoyt observing a suspicious male, in possession of construction materials. The officers approached him since they were aware of past burglaries at construction sites in the area. “In doing so they observed a large quantity of copper wire labeled with Con Edison’s logo,” O’Malley said. “The male admitted to his participation in a ring of construction site robberies.” Police Parking A neighborhood resident who lives close to the precinct has noticed issues with parking, especially right near 191 Union Street. He wanted to know how parking is authorized on the block in front of the precinct. O’Malley said that the police cars have authorization from the Department of Transportation (DOT) to park the way they do outside the precinct. The resident said that the issues he has seen don’t just relate to squad cars but also people’s personal vehicles on the sidewalk. He added that he has many pictures with cars with placards that don’t have license plate numbers or tags. O’Malley requested seeing the

Too many movie shoots Roberto Gil, who is the owner of Casa Kids on Ferris Street between Coffey and Van Dyke (106 Ferris Street), said that he missed getting an important package on the day of the meeting and wanted to know what could be done about this. “There was a huge crew that was filming so the UPS truck could not back up and come back to the business,” Gil said. “Is this the proper place to complain about excessive film shoots?” “The mayor’s office of film and TV production and also the Community Board is the best place to complain,” Armer told Gil. “Unfortunately, the 76th, as does a few other precincts, is a prime place and location for filming movies and TV shows. NYC goes out of their way to make these production companies welcome.” Gil added that every other week he has complaints regarding film shoots. Customers can’t find parking. This was the first time that a film crew prevented a package from being delivered.
