By Jaime de Jesus jdejesus@brooklynreporter.com It was a perfect day to pay tribute to a fallen teammate. The Third Annual Stickball Challenge was held at Deno’s Wonder Wheel Park on Saturday, Sept. 22, featuring a tournament pitting teams from Sheepshead Bay, South Brooklyn and Harlem against each other. However, the theme of the day was unity. While the weather was perfect and the games were fun, the annual competition served as a remembrance for former teammate and Stickball Hall of Famer Raymond Francis Goffio, who died unexpectedly earlier this summer. He was 60 years old. “It went really well, and it was the best year yet for this tournament,” Jason Cusato, one of the event’s organizers and the creative force behind the celluloid tribute to the game, “When Broomsticks Were King.” “We had a really good crowd show up for the first time. Usually there are just a few people watching us. This time, we had an actual big crowd.” Some members of the crowd, he said, were there to honor Goffio. “All of Ray’s family was there which was really nice,” Cusato said. “It was definitely the best tournament we’ve had to date.” Cusato spoke of the impact Goffio had on local stickball.
“It made the day extra special,” he added. “You never get closure with people passing away but it felt really good to honor Ray by doing something he loved to do. He loved to play, he loved to talk about it. Whenever we do these events, a lot of times when we were asked, ‘Can we speak to someone from the stickball team,’ Ray was always a good spokesman for the sport.” *RIÀR ZDV LQGXFWHG LQWR WKH 6WLFNEDOO Hall of Fame in 2007. He talked to this paper in July about his love for the game. “I’ve been playing since 9 years old,” he said. “I play with a guy named John Candelaria. He went on to play 22 years in WKH PDMRU OHDJXHV , SOD\HG P\ ÀUVW JDPH on East 10th Street.” Candelaria pitched for several Major League Baseball teams from 1975-1993. At the end of the tournament, the Harlem team was victorious but all attendees and players understood the significance of the game. “It was the perfect day to play and perfect time to honor him,” Cusato said of Goffio, whose family donned shirts with his picture and name on them. It was also special for the teams to play in the historic Brooklyn amusement park. “It’s always cool to play in Coney Island, period,” Cusato said. “It’s a New York game, but I feel strong ties to stickball in Brooklyn. It felt good to be there but because of Ray, it felt that much more special.”

NEIGHBORHOOD NEWSBEAT Peace Officers Accused of Stealing Hair-Removal Products From Homeless Shelter DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — Three employees of a Brooklyn homeless shelter have been accused of stealing nine boxes of hair remover and seven boxes of hair-removal shower gel. Peace Officers Pradeep Roy, Donna Valentine and Sequoya Zimmerman are accused of taking the items from the Tillary Street Women’s Shelter in Downtown Brooklyn on Sept. 9, according to the New York Post. A fourth person, who was not identified, has disappeared and has not shown up for work, according to the Department of Homeless Services. The shelter’s residents suffer from mental ill-
ness and chemical addiction, the Post reported. The theft came to light when Warren Wright, the shelter’s program director, saw the officers on surveillance video taking the items from a storage room and stashing them in a garbage bag. One of the officers, who spoke to the Post on condition of anonymity, says items that are donated to the shelter are often thrown away and that the residents couldn’t have used these products anyway because they are flammable. But a department spokesperson said they were specifically purchased for the shelter’s residents so they wouldn’t have to use razors.
Lead in Water Supply Prevents Use of High-Tech Water Fountain in School PROSPECT HEIGHTS — City officials last Tuesday brought fresh water and a repair plan for a high-tech water fountain at a Brooklyn high school that cost $5,100. The bubbler has sat unused since June because of dangerous lead levels. Last school year, students at the International High School in Prospect Heights raised money for the new fountain by selling popcorn, but tests found lead contamination in the water, according to the New York Post. Last Tuesday, two days after a story
in the Post, Department of Education officials arrived with 5-gallon jugs of fresh water and a water dispenser for temporary relief and began removing “particulate matter” in the soldering that links the 95-year-old building’s pipes to the futuristic fountain, the Post reported. The water quality will then be tested again. “Educational bureaucrats converged on our school,” said math teacher Steve Watson, who helped the kids raise funds for the HydroBoost fountain-cooler unit last year.
Go Inside Brooklyn’s Secret Mansion, Complete With ‘Indentured Servants’ KENSINGTON — A party planner is accused of throwing lavish affairs in a “Secret Mansion” that he didn’t own at 846 McDonald Ave. in Kensington with the aid of unpaid “indentured servants” who lived in the basement. The situation came to light when one of the “servants” refused to clean the dishes, whereupon the “master tenant,” Robin French, called 911 to report that the “servant” had armed herself with a knife and refused to leave, according to Patch. French allegedly earned thousands of dollars listing rooms and “pods” on Airbnb as well as selling tickets to his parties, Patch reported. Josh Einhorn, who owned the building until it was foreclosed in June, told Patch he became aware of the situation when he returned from Las Vegas last fall to find that French had built a roof deck, a soundproof recording studio and a backyard bar and had installed bunk beds in the house. The sub-tenant who French threw out, college student Kay Quesada, and her husband, with the aid of the local nonprofit Equality 4 Flatbush, are now suing French for locking her out and harassment.

Democrats Strategize to Defeat Golden, Take Back Southwest Brooklyn BAY RIDGE/DYKER HEIGHTS — With the general election coming up, Democrats are seizing the opportunity to defeat Marty Golden, the sole Republican elected official left in Brooklyn. Golden, who made city headlines this summer for taking a skydiving jaunt while receiving disability pension from NYPD, is in his eighth term in the state Senate, representing Brooklyn’s 22nd District. Democratic strategists are hoping that the frustration born from Trumpism will drive the blue voters in the area (who outnumber Republicans 2-to-1, according to the New York Post) to the polls on Nov. 6 to vote for Democratic challenger Andrew Gounardes. Golden lost support this summer for leading the Senate’s refusal to put speed cameras back in school zones, while continuing to rack up over 14 tickets for speeding through school zones of his own over the past four years, according to the Post. The incumbent senator, however, remains confident about his chances this election season. “Golden is golden,” he said of himself. “November will be a golden month.”
Sales Begin for 11 Hoyt Street High-Rise Condo Development DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — Sales have begun for 11 Hoyt Street, a 57-story luxury condo development in Downtown Brooklyn that is being developed by Tishman Speyer. When finished in 2020, the building will occupy an entire square block bound by Hoyt Street, Elm Place, Livingston Street and Fulton Street, according to New York YIMBY. The tower is designed to include 480 units, which will range in price from the $600,000s for studios to $3.4 million for a four-bedroom apartment, YIMBY reported.
Each unit will have 10-foot-high ceilings and 8-foot-tall windows. The apartments will include Italian stone countertops and Bosch appliances in the kitchens; marble wall tiles and custom vanities in the bathrooms; smart home-enabled door locks and thermostats; and washer-dryers. The building will also feature a private elevated park with a sun deck, fitness deck and other amenities as well as a “Park Club” that will contain a saltwater pool and a private fitness center, YIMBY said.
Bjork Prices Brooklyn Heights Apartment at $9M BROOKLYN HEIGHTS — Bjork, the Icelandic singer known for her eclectic repertoire, has put her Brooklyn Heights penthouse up for sale. The asking price? A cool $9 million. The building is a pre-war co-op, and the 3,000-square-foot penthouse, which is separated into day spaces and night spaces, according to Variety, has four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a wraparound terrace, a greenhouse structure opening off the dining room and a service wing. The rooftop offers 360 degree views of Brooklyn and the Lower Manhattan skyline. Variety, however, calls the unit’s price tag “very aspirational,” citing its “perfectly ordinary” tiling, “not particularly ample” guest bedrooms, and not “especially big” bathrooms. Bjork and her then-partner, artist Matthew Barney, purchased the penthouse in 2009 for $4 million.
Jonas Equities Buys Latest in String of Apartment-House Purchases SHEEPSHEAD BAY — Brooklyn apartment-building investor Jonas Equities has purchased a six-story, 121-unit Sheepshead Bay building at 2355 E. 12th St. for $31.9 million. This is just the latest in a string of recent purchases by Jonas Equities, according to The Real Deal. In August, the company bought two buildings, 1775 E. 18th St. in Sheepshead Bay and 140 Ocean Parkway in Kensington, for a combined $46 million. In July, Jonas bought a 66-unit building at 297 Lenox Road in Flatbush for $12.8 million, The Real Deal reported. Although a tenant sued a Jonas affiliate in Brooklyn’s federal court last year, claiming that the company had tried to illegally evict her family, the case was dismissed this past June.

City Expands Capacity of New Ferryboats in Anticipation Of L-Train Shutdown WILLIAMSBURG — In anticipation of the coming 15-month L-train shutdown, transit officials are expanding the capacity of ferryboats so they will be able to handle more passengers. One of the transit alternatives during the shutdown is a new ferry route between Williamsburg and Stuyvesant Cove in Manhattan, according to Curbed. The route will be run directly by MTA and not by Hornblower, which operates the
NYC Ferry System, Curbed reported. Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-Greenpoint-Astoria-Manhattan) says officials are working with contractors to add capacity to the ferryboats — which now can carry up to 149 passengers — so they can accommodate as many as 240 people. In addition, MTA now plans to deploy three ferryboats per hour on the new route rather than the previously planned two, Curbed reported.
Brooklyn Is Getting Its First Medical Cannabis Dispensary DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — By the end of the year, Brooklynites can expect access to legal weed. Cannabis company Citiva Medical announced last week that it will open Brooklyn’s first medical marijuana dispensary within the next two to three months, across the street from Barclays Center. Citiva Medical, which is one of 10 medical cannabis providers licensed to operate in the state, has plans to engage with the local community, sharing information about the
safety and science behind medical marijuana even before the dispensary opens, according to High Times. Medical marijuana was legalized in New York in 2014. In the original legislation, only 12 serious medical conditions were considered viable for a doctor’s recommendation, but since then the health department has issued new regulations, stipulating that patients prescribed opioids can substitute medical marijuana in their place.

Postcards from Atlantic Antic, Brooklyn’s Grand Street Fair The Bridge
While this year’s edition of Atlantic Antic took place on Sunday under a cool mist — compared with last year’s record 91-degree sunshine — nothing could dampen the exuberant festival’s overstimulating spirit. Brooklyn’s biggest street fair, marking its 44th anniversary, buzzed with the beat of a music festival, thanks to this year’s theme,
“The Pulse of Brooklyn.” Hundreds of vendors lined the 1.1mile instant emporium, while thousands of fair-goers danced in the street, sampled heaping helpings of cosmopolitan cuisine and even took advantage of free health check-ups. The Bridge was there, exploring from Hicks Street to Fourth Avenue, to bring you this gallery.

Brooklynites Sound Off On What Legal Weed Could Look Like By Michael Stahl The Bridge
While New York state seems likely to go the way of nine states and the District of Columbia in legalizing marijuana for recreational use, plenty of deliberation is happening first. Tuesday night was Brooklyn’s turn to sound off about how legal marijuana should be controlled — and who should profit from it. Last month, shortly after the publication of a multi-agency study that concluded the “positive effects” of marijuana legalization in New York (up to $678 million in tax revenue, depending on the pricing and taxation rate) “outweigh the potential negative impacts,” Gov. Cuomo pieced together a workgroup tasked with drafting legislation for a regulated, adult-use marijuana program. One of their initial steps is to hold 17 “listening sessions” across the state, giving local politicians and the public a chance to offer their input. One of those listening sessions took place last night at LIU Brooklyn, where about 200 attendees packed into the campus’s Kumble Theater. Though the moderator announced ground rules limiting microphone time to two minutes and a ban on cheering and jeering, they weren’t always observed. The roughly 50 speakers ranged from the thoughtful and precise to the spacey and bizarre — and not everyone who spoke was pro-pot. But a series of oft-repeated points emerged over the two-hour gathering — a few with significant business implications. Here are some of them: Minimize regulations Many of the speakers showed concern that future legislation might serve only the interests
of the state and not necessarily the individual smoker. If the government has complete control over the cannabis supply — its price, taxation and potency — that could mean that many users will go underserved. The black market wouldn’t go away, arrests will still be made and the people who utilize marijuana for a wide range of medical purposes will continue to suffer if basic access isn’t granted, some speakers asserted. A man who identified himself as “Deisel L.” said he moved from Brooklyn, where he was raised, to Washington, D.C., because there “you are able to grow: one person, six plants.” He said growing marijuana is a “God-given right,” a sentiment expressed by a few others, who wondered if the state’s legislation will be progressive enough to allow private production. Deisel L. and others also observed that the marijuana laws might need enough nuance to include pot-related products like THC vape oils and edibles, for example, and to clearly discriminate between criminal and legal use. However, one woman suggested that the laws be so general that they span no longer than two pages, while another woman said that the laws must be strong enough so that localities don’t have the power to supersede them. Provide business opportunities for everyone As to be expected, most of the attendees who spoke wish that the state would keep fees for opening dispensaries low, and hope that the new industry doesn’t become strictly a billionaire’s club. State Assemblymember Walter T. Mosley, who represents Brooklyn’s District 57, spoke on this topic at the meeting’s outset. “As we move from a vertical to a more horizontal

Bukaty economic structure of this industry,” he said, “creating more diversity, more opportunities for people of color and for women” will be an important step. Michael Zaytsev, who founded High NY, a pro-cannabis community, said that there must “especially [be] a consideration of how we’re going to transition people from the underground cannabis economy, who are making their living there, into the regulated economy.” “Those people shouldn’t be wiped out,” he continued, “because the ‘Big Pharmas’ and ‘Big Alcohols’ of the world want a piece of the cannabis dollars.” “We’re gonna have ‘Coors Weed,’ they’re

gonna take over, the money’s gonna be there,” said a man who did not identify himself by name, but claims to have opened a growing and recreational cannabis business in California. “We want to at least carve out a little bit of a niche for high-quality marijuana. … Make sure you’re getting a few high-quality [sellers] so when we go to the stores we have an option that’s not gonna be ‘Coors Light.’” Release those incarcerated for pot-related offenses Many at the meeting said that if the legalization of adult, recreational-use marijuana is pushed through, then those who have been incarcerated for pot-related offenses must be released. “When we’re talking about regulation we [must] talk about decriminalization,” Assemblymember Mosley said before posing the question: “How do we seal the records of those who have been impacted by their activities in this industry when it was criminalized?” A man identifying himself as a lifelong New York resident said the release of incarcerated people and the sealing of their records “should not be linked to the passage of a regulation and taxation scheme, they should just be done outright.” Catherine Gonzalez, an attorney with Brooklyn Defenders Services, an organization that provides legal representation to those who cannot afford it, said in her three years of working for the group she has represented only one white person who was arrested for a marijuana offense — the rest have been people of color. Gonzalez said the state’s new legislation must re-invest marijuana tax revenue into “communities that have been the most harmed under prohibition,” while Assemblymember Mosley himself also offered: “How are some of these revenues going to be re-invested in some of the communities that have been impacted [by pot-related arrests] the most?” Keep employers from testing their workers for marijuana A woman who identified herself as a Brooklynite said, “I’m a mom of two teenaged boys — I guess you can call me a soccer mom.” She said that she had just come from dropping them off at their practice sessions, and added: “I’m gonna go home and make some dinner and I’m gonna smoke some pot tonight,” at which the crowd applauded. “There are a lot of people like me, quietly at home smoking, and not out advocating for a change in laws in this state,” she continued. “I think if we thought about … restricting employers from testing for cannabis, that more people like me would come out and be open” about their pot use and the push for looser laws. “Let’s be honest, we need more friends and less enemies.”

Nine-year-old Pietro Scarso says goodbye to his long locks. By Meaghan McGoldrick INBrooklyn
A local boy is ditching his “boy”-bun for a good cause. Nine-year-old Pietro Scarso, a Dyker Heights kid who was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) at age three, is raising awareness for a different cause, and on Wednesday, Sept. 19, donated his hair to children with cancer. According to Pietro’s parents, Dayna and Manni, Pietro – the driving force behind Pietro’s Fight, a nonprofit focused on finding a cure for DMD – came up with the idea himself. “When Pietro was home from school on Christmas break, he saw a commercial for St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital on one of the kid’s channels,” said Dayna who, alongside her husband, co-founded Pietro’s Fight. “He’s such a compassionate boy, so naturally he started asking things like, ‘Why does it happen?’ and ‘What do these kids do when they don’t have hair?’” Dayna told Pietro, “Well, some kids donate their hair and then they make wigs out of it for the children who are sick.” And so, Pietro formed a plan and, after 10 months of trading in haircuts for what his mother described as a “miniature man-bun,” Pietro stopped by Salon Gio in Dyker Heights to finish what he’d started. His hair was donated to Wigs for Kids in memory of his cousin Frank Giunta, as well as Francesco Loccisano, Olivia Boccuzzi, Gianna Nicole and Orazio Arrabito (the brother of Pietro’s longtime barber, Alessandro) -- all of whom have died from cancer. Paying it another step forward, Pietro raised funds while growing out his locks for Gianna Nicole’s Heart of Hope, an organization whose mission is to assist other families battling pediatric cancer in honor of its namesake angel. To date, Pietro’s GoFundMe page -- dubbed “Hairraising Boy” -- has raised $4,395. The money, Dayna said will be split amongst two families in need. As for his salon appointment, Pietro sat like a champ. “He was so excited, almost to the point where he didn’t want to cut it anymore, he wanted to go another two months so he could give it to two children,” Dayna said, adding that the family chose September in collaboration with Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. “Now he’s like, ‘Mom, I’m growing my hair again.’” “He was really happy with the turnout,” she

went on. “It’s amazing coming from a fundraising family how much even our children, Pietro and his brother Nico, pick up. Just the idea that he wanted to do this on his own and give a kid some confidence really resonated with our whole family.” Pietro was diagnosed with DMD, a recessive X-lined form of muscular dystrophy that affects one in every 3,500 to 5,000 boys, at just three years old. Pietro’s Fight was founded in hopes of helping to find a cure and has rallied around him ever since. “Pietro has had a support system since the age of two and a half. Pietros Fight is his normal, so he understands the importance of family and even strangers standing by our side to help, and he wanted to do the same,” said Dayna, who added that Pietro just started the fourth grade and is doing well.

In this case, they are images constructed by aching hands and sore arms which have managed to pull away from other work, made in less quiet places. Plaster is shaped alongside acrylic paint, wallboard, spray paint. Graffiti and the constant buffing of graffiti get a nod. The works are playful: primary colors occupy measured spaces in largely white fields of textured plaster. This play is a renegotiating of borders.

THE EMPEROR’S NEW CLOTHES Two classic stories from Hans Christian Andersen: “The Snow Queen” and “The Emperor’s New Clothes.” Both will be presented at each performance. Adapted for the Marionette stage by Puppetworks’ Artistic Director, Nicolas Coppola, “The Snow Queen” tells the story of a mysterious lady who throws ice into the heart of a child, making him cold and mean, and of his friend Gerda who sets out to rescue him from the Snow Queen’s Ice Palace. “The Emperor’s New Clothes” is the tale of a foolish Emperor who buys invisible clothes from a clever tailor, only to march down the street in his underwear.

THE EMPEROR The Emperor, Colin Teevan‘s adaptation of Ryszard Kapuściński‘s celebrated and controversial 1978 book of the same title, is a parable about power set at the downfall of Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie. Kathryn Hunter astonishingly shapeshifts, portraying ten male servants of Haile Selassie, among them his pillow-bearer, purse-bearer and dog-urine wiper, creating complex human portraits. Hunter, who with Colin Teevan and Walter Meierjohann were the acclaimed team in the Young Vic production of Kafka’s Monkey presented at TFANA in 2013, is here joined by Ethiopian musician Temesgen Zeleke. Kapuściński, who many considered a candidate for the Nobel Prize, slyly used The Emperor to illuminate corruption and political power in his native Poland. This adaptation resonates with the world’s growing and disturbing fascination with despotism. When: Tuesdays – Sundays through October 7th, 7:30 p.m. Where: Fort Greene/Polonsky Shakespeare Center (262 Ashland Place)

Island Glamping at the Delaware Water Gap By John B. Manbeck Special to INBrooklyn
Ever heard of “glamping”? Translated into English, it’s slang for “glamour camping.” Glamping smooths the edges from the rustic outdoors: no more sleeping on the hard, uneven, cold ground; no fighting for a campsite; no cooking in the dark over a smoky fire. But you can still enjoy nature on the placid banks of the Delaware River under the majestic Delaware Water Gap, one of America’s scenic wonders. Island Glamping, a recent attraction at The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort, has drawn urban campers to Pennsylvania from May to October to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature while retaining the pleasures of civilization. The camp grounds, located on a huge island in the Delaware, are secreted in a grove near the famous golf course of The Shawnee Inn. The river runs through the middle of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. On arrival, guests follow the guides over the hotel’s lawn to the canoe beach. Canoes transport guests to the island campsite. (Non-swimmers can ride a golf cart to the camp grounds but cars are not permitted on the island.) This type of camping differs radically from your typical KOA sites. Four large waterproof tents transform the glade into a communal site, close but not on top of each other. All tents face a fire pit where evening snack and breakfast are prepared by the glamping concierge. Each tent has a carpeted entrance, a queen-sized bed, side tables, a lamp, alarm clock, coffee maker, lantern, fan, refrigerator and heater powered by electricity. Oh, yes, and Wi-Fi. A separate building houses showers with hot and cold water and real bathrooms. The natural setting of the campsite encourages guests to relax in hammocks and enjoy the trees and surroundings. Animals natural to the environment include deer, rabbits, chipmunks
and a resident eagle family high in a tree over the golf course. River transportation to the tents is by canoe but kayaks often drift past the glamp. Brooklyn visitors are the most enthusiastic guests of The Shawnee Inn, a 20th century Pennsylvania marvel, just across the New Jersey border. The classic hotel not only offers a most idyllic location but also boasts a 27-hole
award-winning golf course. The links have been famous since 1910 and have attracted celebrities like President Dwight Eisenhower, comics Jackie Gleason, Lucille Ball and Bob Hope, bandleader Fred Waring (who owned it at one time), singers Perry Como and Eddie Fisher, TV star Ed Sullivan, baseball’s Mickey Mantle and golfer Arnold Palmer. The hotel
also features an indoor swimming pool and tennis courts. The weekend glamping experience offers a unique mini-vacation for those wishing for a day in the relaxing countryside.

real estate Eye on Bushwick
BUSHWICK ABOVE: This is the L train’s stop at DeKalb and Wyckoff avenues. See next page. INBrooklyn photo by Lore Croghan
In 1638, the Dutch West India Company purchased this area of northwest Brooklyn from the local Canarsie Indians, but it wasn’t settled until 1660 by some Frenchmen and Huguenots and a freed slave named Franciscus the Negro. In 1661, it was chartered as the Town of Boswijck — Dutch for “heavy woods” — and included land that would later become Williamsburg and Greenpoint. After the English takeover of New Netherland, the town’s name was anglicized to Bushwick. During colonial times, villagers called the area “Bushwick Shore.” This name lasted for about 140 years. It was cut off from the other villages in Bushwick by Bushwick Creek and by Cripple-

bush, a region of thick, boggy shrub land which extended from Wallabout Creek to Newtown Creek. At the beginning of the 19th century, Bushwick consisted of four villages: Greenpoint, Bushwick Shore (later to become Williamsburg), Bushwick Green and Bushwick Crossroads. In 1854, Bushwick became part of the City of Brooklyn and was still primarily a farming community until heavy industry was introduced in the mid-19th century — including a glue factory built by Peter Cooper, who was to be the founder of the New York college, Cooper Union. The extension of the Broadway and Myrtle Avenue elevated railway also spurred the growth of the neighborhood. With a majority population of German-Americans, the neighborhood’s biggest industry was beer.
At one time during those years, there were 11 breweries in an area known as “Brewer’s Row.” In 1904, there were 44. But Bushwick fell on hard times with Prohibition and the Depression in the 1920s and 1930s and virtually all of the breweries shut down. (The last two, Rheingold and Schaefer, closed in 1976.) During the citywide blackout in 1977, Bushwick stores were looted and arsonists burned down entire blocks of the neighborhood’s shopping district. (Because of this, the Bushwick area called Ridgewood decided it would rather be considered a part of Queens.) Today, crime is down and new residents are working on the renewal of Bushwick. —Norm Goldstein

Come See Bushwick, Before or After the L-Pocalypse Starts By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn
The L-pocalypse is coming. Oy vey. There’s something Brooklynites should keep in mind amid the planning for mitigative measures to deal with L-maggedon, as the looming L train line shutdown is also called. When the rightfully dreaded 15-month closing of the train between Williamsburg and the West Village commences next April, the hexed, vexing subway line will keep operating within our borough. You’ll still be able to ride it to various fascinating Brooklyn neighborhoods. We’ve decided to show you some of them. It would be nice if Brooklynites visit them next year when day-trippers from Manhattan are likely to be in short supply. The other day, we rode the L train deep into the heart of Bushwick. We fought our instinct, which was to make a beeline for beautiful Bushwick Avenue. We’ve photographed the historic properties on that stellar street many times. See brooklyneagle.com for our past stories about it.
Instead, we decided to show you a different slice of the neighborhood. So we hopped off the train at the DeKalb Avenue stop on the corner of Wyckoff Avenue.
Eat, Drink and Be Merry on Wyckoff and Irving Avenues
It’s thoroughly entertaining to walk in a loop down Wyckoff Avenue to Myrtle Avenue, past the White Castle, up Irving Avenue and back to the DeKalb Avenue train station. Picturesque rowhouses with storefronts populate many of the blocks. You can eat and drink yourself silly at Colombian bakeries, shops with specialty foods from Mexico and Ecuador, Thai and Caribbean restaurants and hipster-friendly coffee shops. Wyckoff Heights Medical Center at 374 Stockholm St., which is topped by a tower, is a key part of the streetscape. You’ll notice white-coated doctors with stethoscopes draped around their necks strolling along Wyckoff Avenue during their lunch breaks. As you of course know, Bushwick was one of Brooklyn’s original six towns. Trailblazing Peter Stuyvesant chartered Boswijck, as it was called, in 1661, Kenneth Jackson and John Manbeck’s book “The Neighborhoods of Brooklyn” notes.
Stately Buildings Across from the Hospital
As you stroll along Wyckoff Avenue, you’ll notice that many picturesque rowhouses with storefronts are three stories tall. But on the corner of Stockholm Street, across from Wyckoff Heights Medical Center, there’s a quartet of stately fourstory, creamy-colored brick multifamily buildings with storefronts at 131 to 137 Wyckoff Ave.
— Continued on page 17INB —
BUSHWICK: HOW IT GOT ITS NAME At one time, Bushwick was home to “Brewer’s Row,” a 14-block stretch that hosted 11 breweries. This mid-1800s glow of beer gardens, oompah bands, sauerkraut and family entertainment by the plenty eventually diminished before the neighborhood landed in its modern renewal. Peter Stuyvesant chartered Bushwick in 1661 with a notable signer of its patent being Francisco de Niger, a freed African who was previously enslaved in New Netherland. Under the Dutch name Boswijck, or “heavy woods,” in English, the area produced food and tobacco for local consumption and export to New York City. Its heavy brewing history started to come to life between 1840 and 1860 when more than a million German-speaking immigrants moved to the U.S., many settling in Bushwick. To accommodate an increased population, Adrian Martenses Suydam began to subdivide his family farm and by 1884, 125 residences had been built in the area while breweries were popping up. Development may have boomed after 1888 when the Broadway and Myrtle Avenue elevated railway reached the area, but Prohibition, the Depression and a long strike by brewery workers closed down many of Brooklyn’s 45 breweries, most of them in Bushwick. German-Americans thus left and during the 1930s and 1940s, Bushwick had a greater amount of Italian-Americans than any other Brooklyn community until after World War II when they moved out, giving room for African-Americans and immigrants from Puerto Rico. Small apartment buildings were built to accommodate the population change but housing began to deteriorate and city services were reduced. During the electrical blackout in 1977, entire blocks of the once-thriving Broadway shopping district were burned to the ground. The housing crisis only got worse when more immigrants moved in but in recent years, hundreds of housing units and dramatic development changes have come to Bushwick, throwing the neighborhood into a modern renewal. —Norm Goldstein

Two of these beautiful buildings, 131 and 133 Wyckoff Ave., belong to 133 Wyckoff Holding LLC with Jacob Aini as managing member, city Finance Department records indicate. The LLC bought the properties in 2006 for a combined $1.575 million in a package deal; they were sold due to Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings, Finance Department records show. The third building, 135 Wyckoff, belongs to Barberan Properties LLC with John Barberan as member. He had owned the property for two decades before transferring the title to the LLC in 2012, Finance Department records indicate. The fourth building, 137 Wyckoff Ave., has belonged since 1999 to 137 Wyckoff Avenue LLC with Ann Nasary as president, Finance Department records show.
This Rowhouse Sold for $2.225 Million
Almost every storefront we saw is filled with tenants. There’s a rare retail vacancy at 205 Wyckoff Ave., a handsome old-fashioned rowhouse near the corner of Harman Street. The asking rent is $3,750 per month for the ground-floor space, a posting by leasing agents Olga Pidhirnyak and Kimberly Fong at Coldwell Banker Commercial Reliable Real Estate notes. That’s $60 per square foot per year for the 750square-foot space. The space is newly renovated and has an exposed brick wall, their marketing material says. There are also five apartments in the three-story rowhouse. It belongs to an LLC with Haim Zarif as sole member, Finance Department records indicate. The LLC bought 205 Wyckoff Ave. for $2.225 million last year, Finance Department records show.
Eye Candy All Over the Place
Eye-pleasing sights are everywhere. At 146 Wyckoff Ave. on the corner of Himrod Street, a blade sign spells out the name Variety Coffee Roasters in neon letters. On the corner of Bleecker Street, there’s an especially handsome grouping of rowhouses at 229 to 235 Wyckoff Ave. Three cheers for St. Brigid’s Immigration Services, which is on Wyckoff Avenue. A snapshot-covered poster in its window says, “Congratulations to our new U.S. citizens.” Wyckoff Avenue has been turned into a pedestrian plaza between Gates and Myrtle avenues, with food vendors and outdoor seating. The next stop on the L train, namely the Myrtle-Wyckoff Avenues station, is located on this plaza. The M train also uses this station.
A Movie House and a Knitting Factory
The walk up Irving Avenue is scenic as well. An eye-catching commercial property at the intersection of Irving and DeKalb avenues was recently renovated. The old-fashioned 25-foot-tall building has small crosses embedded in its brown-and-gold-brick facade and a stylized tower on its corner. It has a ground floor, a mezzanine and a cellar. According to certificates of occupancy in city Buildings Department records, the property was a “motion picture theatre” in the late 1920s and the 1930s and a “light knitting works” in the 1940s. A certificate of occupancy issued in 1962 says it was a retail store with a stock room on the mezzanine. Today, the various tenants in the building have individual addresses. They include a wine store called Irving Bottle at 155 Irving Ave., a bar called Carmelo’s at 1544 DeKalb Ave., Haven Cycles at 1546 DeKalb Ave. and a salon called Power Hair at 1548 DeKalb Ave. The building belongs to an LLC with Angelo Grasso Sr., Angelo Grasso Jr. and Giovanni Grasso as operating managers, Finance Department records indicate.

Hon. César Quinones Remembered as Humble, Great Temperament for the Bench By Rob Abruzzese Brooklyn Record
Friends and family members of the late Justice Cesar Quinones held a memorial service in his honor at the Brooklyn Supreme Court, Criminal Term, on Friday, Sept. 14. The event was meant as a way to highlight Quinones' career achievements and to let his colleagues and family members get a chance to remember him and his contributions to the bench. Nearly 10 people spoke on Friday night and nearly all of them described Quinones as a judge with excellent temperament who was extremely humble and a loyal friend. “The inspiration for this event came from two people who knew Uncle Cesar very well. That's Judge Ciparick and his former law partner Joseph R. Erazo,” said Susan L. Quinones, the judge's niece. “My uncle was a very private person and he would be very humbled by all of you being here, especially knowing that some of you came from very far distances,” Susan continued. “Many of you only had an opportunity to get a limited glimpse of my uncle and who he was, but he was a renaissance man.”
Hon. Carmen Beauchamp Ciparick (right) and Joseph R. Erazo (left) hosted a memorial service for the late Hon. César Quiñones with the help of his niece Susan L. Quiñones (second from right) and family members including Josie Quiñones (second from left).
Hon. César Quiñones, a Brooklyn Law School graduate who died at the age of 93, served as a judge in New York City and Brooklyn for 25 years and was a founding member of the Puerto Rican Bar Association and the Association of Judges of Hispanic Heritage (now the Latino Judges Association).
Quinones, a prolific piano player, was often known to joke that he played on the same bandstands as Tito Puente and Eddie Palmieri, just not at the same time. His law practice also represent-
ed neighborhood groups like the Puerto Rican Community Development Project and worked to support then Congressman Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. Quinones was also the founding member of the Puerto Rican Bar Association and the Association of Judges of Hispanic Heritage, which is now known as the Latino Judges Association. He served as chairman of the board of the Bedford-Stuyvesant Community Legal Services Corporation and was on the board of other local organizations including Medgar Evers College. He served as an adjunct professor at St. John's University School of Law and was a member of the Franklin H. Williams Judicial Commision on Minorities. “Justice Quinones was very kind and always listened to you and made you feel important,” said Justice Margarita Lopez Torres. “To be a kid from East New York and to have a person like that care about me — it made such a big impact on my life.” Hon. Carol Sherman (left) and Hon. Jeanette Ruiz.

Judge Ciparick and Erazo were the first to speak about Justice Quinones. The two recalled his 25-year career, where he was known as a compassionate judge who believed in reparative justice. Quinones was installed to the NYC Family Court bench in 1970 under Mayor John V. Lindsay and appointed by Mayor Abraham D. Beame in 1976. In 1987, Gov. Mario Cuomo appointed Quinones to the Court of Claims and assigned him to the Supreme Court, Criminal Division, where he served until his retirement in 1995. “He has been consistently described as a fair, effective, knowledgeable, timely, committed and enthusiastic judge,” said Justice Ciparick. “What more do we want from a judge?” Erazo, Quinones' law partner, explained that while Quinones was advancing the cause for Puerto Rican people as a judge, their law partnership allowed Erazo himself to get involved in community activism. “Cesar let me loose,” Erazo said. “We had a law firm and he let me out to do a lot of community stuff. I was a rabble rouser and a troublemaker, because it was a time where Puerto Ricans struggled for community recognition.” Other speakers included Hon. Jeanette Ruiz, administrative judge of the NYC Family Courts, Hon. Joseph A. Zayas, administrative judge of the Queens Supreme Court, Criminal Term; retired Justice Lewis Douglass; Stephanie R. Correa; and a handful of family members including E. Ricardo Quinones. “He was so humble, had a great temperament and always wanted to do justice,” Justice Ruiz said. “He was a law professor who taught juvenile justice and he would be so happy with the Raise the Age programs we are implementing. He would be really cheering us along. But I stand on his shoulders and would not be able to do this if not for the work he had done before.”

Zion German Evangelical Lutheran Church Celebrates Its Heritage at Steuben Parade

By Francesca Norsen Tate, Religion Editor INBrooklyn
September is Steuben month, celebrating German heritage in New York City and around the United States. Zion German Evangelical Lutheran Church (Zionskirche) in Brooklyn Heights joined many other congregations recently for the 61st annual German-American Steuben Parade, which marched up Manhattan’s Fifth Ave. between 68th and 85th Streets. German hospitality, mission and outreach are vitally important to Zionskirche, located at 125 Henry St. in Brooklyn Heights. The church’s
commitment to the German language and culture in all facets of congregational life has kept it strong, affirmed several speakers at last spring’s installation service for Pastor Klaus Dieter Gress. The parade is named for Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben, who served in the American Revolutionary War as Inspector General and later Major General. An honorable man, Steuben is credited with having instilled a higher standard of discipline in the Continental Army from the time he arrived in 1778, from hygiene standards to training Gen. Washington’s troops and leading them to victory. The Steuben parade, when first organized, fell close to his birthday of Sept. 17. (He was born
in 1730 in Magdeburg, Prussia, a region now in central Germany, roughly midpoint between Hanover and Berlin.) Steuben died in Oneida in upstate, New York. An historic site was named in his memory. Grand Marshals for this year’s Steuben Parade, this year on Saturday, Sept.15, were world-renowned architect Helmut Jahn, and German Bundestag Member and Transatlantic Coordinator Peter Beyer. This celebration of German-American friendship continues through the first week of October, with the New York Philharmonic’s performance of Bruckner’s 8th Symphony at Lincoln Center on Sept. 27 and a German wine-pairing din-
ner on Oct. 2. Friends and neighbors who may have missed out on this year’s Steuben Parade can still look forward to Zionskirche’s hospitality, whether visiting and attending worship services or the upcoming Oktoberfest, a beloved tradition in Brooklyn Heights. The Oktoberfest runs from 3 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 6, and features live music, dancing, and a traditional German dinner of bratwurst, sauerkraut, red cabbage, potato salad beer and other beverages. Dinner itself begins at 4 p.m. Admission: Adults: $25; Seniors $20; Children: $15. For more information call 718-852-2453 or click facebook.com/ ziongelc.
DeSales Catholic Media Group Announces Editors’ Promotions
Move Places Talented Editor at Helm Of Two-Award Winning Newspapers The Editor of Nuestra Voz, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn’s Spanish-language newspapers, Jorge I. Domínguez-López, has been promoted to editor-in-chief of publications for DeSales Media Group. The move puts Domínguez-López at the helm of the two award-winning newspapers of the Brooklyn Diocese, which also publishes the English-language The Tablet. “Jorge was the clear choice for this new role,” said Vito Formica, executive director of news content and development. Formica leads the DeSales Media Group’s news department, which also includes the nightly newscast Currents News. He added, “Jorge’s impressive credentials and his deep understanding of the Church will play a critical role in our strategy to provide all readers in the diocese and beyond with even more high-quality, faith-based journalism across all media platforms.”
A Cuban-American editor and writer, Domínguez-López was born in Havana. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in history from St. John’s University. In the early 1990s, he was one of the founders of the Studies Center of the Archdiocese of Havana, Cuba, and Vivarium magazine, the first independent and Catholic publication in Cuba since 1959. After immigrating to the United States, Jorge worked as a translator, editor and writer for the Education Department at McGraw-Hill Companies. He has worked as a freelance writer, translator and editor for book publishers HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, and Little, Brown and Company among others. In New York, he was the founding editor of Béisbol Mundial, a sports magazine with a monthly circulation of one million copies. Since May 2015, he has been the editor of
Nuestra Voz. During this time, Nuestra Voz has become one of the leading Spanish Catholic newspapers in North America, with 51 Catholic Press Association awards, including second place for Spanish Publication of the Year, Best Spanish Editorial Page and Editor of the Year. Nuestra Voz has evolved from a monthly print newspaper to a daily online source of Catholic news in Spanish with an international audience. Recently, Nuestra Voz became the most followed page among the Brooklyn Diocese social media pages. Moreover, Formica announced that long-time reporter for The Tablet, Brooklyn native Marie Elena Giossi has been promoted to managing editor. Giossi reports to Domínguez-López, and assists him in overseeing the day-to-day operation and production of the newspaper. Highlights of her Tablet career include covering two papal visits to New York, 2008 and 2015; two World Youth Days, Germany, 2005, and Australia, 2008, and the National Catholic Youth Conference in Ohio, 2007. Former editor of The Tablet, Ed Wilkinson, who was honored at the World Communica-

tions Day in May, will stay on staff as editor emeritus. In his expanded role, Wilkinson will serve as an editorial advisor, he will create a detailed newspaper archive, and he will work directly with Chief Operating Officer of DeSales Media Group William Maier.

MORIARTY, Catherine Marie – Age 89, originally of Brooklyn but recently residing in Montville, New Jersey, passed away on Sunday, September 16, 2018. She was born to the late Terence and Susan (Fahey) Moriarty on May 27, 1929. She had two sisters, Mary (age 87) and Theresa (d. 2012), and an older brother, James (d. 2006). Catherine was born in Brooklyn, where she attended Holy Innocents Elementary School and then Catherine McCauley High School. She loved spending her summers in Peekskill, New York, where her father had built a vacation house for the family “in the country.” When she finished high school, she worked at various banks in Brooklyn, before moving to Phoenix, Arizona, in the early 1950s to relieve her severe asthma. At that time, she became very active in the Catholic ministry to the Mexican American community as a volunteer with the Sacred Heart Workers. It was here that she began a lifelong love of Mexican people and culture. Upon her return to New York in 1952, she began working at Marsh & McLennan Insurance Company in New York City. She worked hard but also loved socializing with friends at the Stork Club, the Algonquin, and “21.” During this time, she also cultivated her passion for travel with trips to Mexico, Brussels for the 1958 World’s Fair, France, Germany, Italy, and, of course, Ireland. In 1969, Catherine married Ramón Baldonado of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Though their marriage was short, their friendship was deep and lasted until his death in 1999. They had one daughter, Kathleen. Catherine worked hard as a single mom in the 1970s, managing to work full time and put Kathleen through twelve years of

Catholic school and, finally, through college. After that, Catherine retired from the insurance business in 1993. During her retirement Catherine was a volunteer at St. John’s Hospital in Queens. She spent much time traveling with her cousins to various Irish events in the Northeast and Florida, visiting her friends in Phoenix and in California, and helping to plan numerous Moriarty family reunions. Catherine had a special gift for helping people. No matter where she was, she could always detect when someone needed a hand, whether they were in distress or just needed someone to hold open a door. And Catherine was always ready to assist. She loved dressing to the nines as much as pulling weeds out of her sister’s yard. As long as she was busy, she was happy. She was a devoted friend, sister, cousin, and, above all, an exemplary mother. She adored her grandchildren and all the pets that came and went through the years. Catherine’s legacy lives on in her daughter Kathleen (Baldonado) Reed, son-inlaw Adam Reed, grandchildren Ella and Sean Reed, her sister Mary (Moriarty) D’Addario, stepson Tom Baldonado, and many cousins and friends. In lieu of flowers please do something Catherine would have done: volunteer in the community, rescue a stray, cheer up a stranger, simply make someone laugh, or make a donation to help obliterate Alzheimer’s disease once and for all at https://alzfdn.org/ support-us/donate/ Then, when you’re done, have an Irish Coffee and raise your glass to the once and always
beautiful Catherine. All services arranged by CLAVIN FUNERAL HOME.

Brooklyn Eagle cover from Sept. 25, 1920
ON SEPT. 25, 1947, the Brooklyn Eagle reported, “Washington, Sept. 25 (U.P.) — President [Harry] Truman set in motion today a wasteless food campaign and said he will seek immediate stop-gap aid for hungry Europe without a special session of Congress, if possible. He revealed at a 27-minute press conference that his chief reason for summoning Congressional leaders to a White House conference Monday was to determine what immediate steps could be taken to provide prompt aid to Europe. As a starter, he set up a citizens food conservation program so more food will be available to hungry Europe without forcing prices up higher at home. ‘I am confident that the American people, realizing the extreme seriousness of the situation, will cooperate fully,’ the President said. Mr. Truman emphasized that he is not asking Americans to eat less – as Senator Robert A. Taft (R-Ohio) proposed recently – but to waste less. As an example, he said the bread thrown away in this country is equivalent to about 70,000,000 bushels of grain a year.” ON SEPT. 25, 1920, the Eagle reported, “Chicago, Sept. 25 — Indictments based on charges of conspiracy to defraud may be the result of the Cook County Grand Jury’s investigation of alleged crookedness by the players in last fall’s World Series, it was indicated today by Henry H. Brigham, foreman of the jury. ‘There seems to be more than sufficient evidence to support such charges,’ Mr. Brigham declared. In connection with Brigham’s announcement that Arnold Rothstein, New York turfman and chief owner of the Havre de Grace race track, had been subpoenaed, it was learned that President B.B. Johnson of the American League has been in New York for two days investigating reports involving New York men in the alleged plan to ‘fix’ the 1919 World Series so Cincinnati would win and enable the gamblers on the ‘inside’ to win large sums.” ON SEPT. 26, 1849, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported, “Gas at last. Last evening the new and beautiful iron posts recently erected along Fulton Street, to accommodate the lamps of the gas company, were fired up, and for the first time our city was illuminated with gas lights. The lamps are not set on the posts, nor the burners provided: the light of last evening was, therefore, a mere spontaneous ‘rough and ready’ affair and flamed out of the top of the iron posts like flambeaus. We suppose that the first runnings of the gas are mixed more or less with atmospheric air and other impurities and that this burning off is not a sample, at all, of what the gas will do for us. It was, however, a very satisfactory exhibit as it showed that we were on the point of realizing the lights so long anticipated. The company have, in fact, been making gas for some time and their manes are now mostly filled. We shall have light therefore as soon as the fixtures are completed.” ON SEPT. 26, 1855, the Eagle reported, “A locomotive built to burn anthracite coal has been running 100 miles a day on the Reading railroad for the past four weeks, and her performance is so satisfactory that good judges on the road think her the best for passengers they have ever known. She has abundance of steam, throws no dirt or sparks, and makes a saving of 43 per cent.”

ON SEPT. 26, 1934, the Eagle reported, “More of the Lindbergh ransom money was found today in the Bronx garage of Bruno Richard Hauptmann, which had already yielded $13,750 of the telltale yellow-back notes. The amount was $840, District Attorney Samuel J. Foley said. He added that the bills had been checked against the list of the ransom money serial numbers and found to match. Col. Charles A. Lindbergh himself was making his appearance before the Bronx grand jury, which was taking testimony against Hauptmann for extortion in the kidnaping and killing of the Lindbergh baby, when the new discovery was made … Some of the bills, after being identified, were taken before the grand jury before it took its noon recess.”

ON SEPT. 27, 1940, the Eagle reported, “Berlin, Sept. 27 — Germany, Italy and Japan welded a new totalitarian bloc today with a one-for-all and all-for-one pledge of aid against any new enemy entering either the European or China war – an implicit warning to the United States. With Adolf Hitler as an onlooker, the Rome-Berlin foreign ministers and the Japanese Ambassador to Berlin signed a solemn 18-year military and economic treaty declaring the readiness of the three governments to join their 250,000,000 people as world-scale battle comrades. Advance preparations for such an eventuality were written into the treaty by an immediate undertaking for joint technical consultations by representatives of the three Powers … Germany and Italy agreed that Japan would be recognized by them as the leader in the creation of a new order in Asia. Japan, in turn, recognized Italy and German as the leaders in the creation of a new order in Europe.”

OOK BEAT ‘Devil’s Mile’ Delves into NYC’s Gritty History Special to the Brooklyn Eagle
Alice Sparberg Alexiou tackled an iconic New York activist (Jane Jacobs), and an iconic New York landmark (the Flatiron) in her previous two books, so it would stand to reason that, for her third, she would turn her attention to one of New York’s iconic neighborhoods: the Bowery. “Devil’s Mile: The Rich, Gritty History of the Bowery” is her cultural history of the street that began as a Native American footpath and grew from a country estate-lined thoroughfare, to a haven for drunks and bums, to prime real estate for developers. Alexiou begins her account in 1625, when three Dutch vessels dropped anchor off the southern tip of the island the native inhabitants called Mannahatta. She paints a detailed picture of the island as it once was: “hilly in parts, thickly wooded, and crisscrossed with streams … a Garden of Eden filled with all sorts of resources ready for the picking.” We learn how quickly the white settlers upended the lives of the native people, and meet the men whose names now grace many a New York street sign, such as Peter Stuyvesant, James Delancey, and Henry and John Jacob Astor, with special appearances by Alexander Hamilton and George Washington. Alexiou then describes the Bowery’s deterioration in stunning detail, from the post-bellum

years, to the early 20th century (when the Lower East Side was the most densely populated on earth, and Prohibition, ironically, thrust the Bowery and its bums straight to hell), to the punk scene of the ’70s. She ends her historical exploration of this famed street in the present, bearing witness as the old Bowery buildings, and the memories associated with them, are disappearing. Alexiou is the author of “Jane Jacobs: Urban Visionary” and “The Flatiron: The New York Landmark and the Incomparable City That Arose with it.” She is a contributing editor at Lilith magazine and she blogs for the Gotham Center. She is a graduate of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and has a Ph.D. in classics from Fordham University. She lives in New York.

Rice was said to have based his Jim Crow routine on an elderly slave he met in Louisville. • Tap dance, an amalgam of black and Irish dance steps, originated on the Bowery in the 19th century. • Park Row, a 10-minute walk from the Bowery, was the site of P.T. Barnum’s five-story high American Museum, entertaining crowds with freak shows, fortune-tellers, exotic animals, aquariums filled with fish and dead creatures. Dime museums, too, were popular in the Bowery, showcasing all kinds of freaks: “living skeletons,” giants, dwarfs, albinos, fat ladies, bearded ladies and more. • Starting in the 1880s, the Bowery became home to a hopping gay bar scene (“fairy resorts”). • The first Salvation Army mission in America opened in 1890 on the Bowery. • The first Yiddish theaters were on the Bowery, not Second Avenue. • During the Great Depression, some 14,000 bums were living on the Bowery. • Punk music started on the Bowery.
13 Fascinating Facts About the Bowery and its Beginnings: • “Bowery” comes from bouwerij, the old Dutch word for “farm.” • The Bowery and Broadway were originally Lenape footpaths. When the Dutch landed in Manhattan in the 1620s, they appropriated both of the original Indian paths, widened them and used them as their highways. • African slaves, freed by their Dutch owners during the 17th century, acquired farms alongg the Bowery. /Ŷ ͞ Ğǀŝů͛Ɛ DŝůĞ͕͟ • In 1926, the Dutch “bought” Manhattann ůĞdžŝŽƵ ĚĞƐĐƌŝďĞƐ ƚŚĞ from an unknown Indian tribe for 60 guil ŽǁĞƌLJ͛Ɛ ĚĞƚĞƌŝŽƌĂders’ worth of goods.

Tribute at Roth Memorial By Hillel Italie
The Associated Press
Philip Roth had it all planned. “Many years ago, I received in the mail a letter in which he outlined the instructions for his memorial service,” his close friend Joel Conarroe told a gathering of hundreds Tuesday during a tribute at the midtown Manhattan branch of the New York Public Library. The author of “American Pastoral,” ‘’Portnoy’s Complaint” and other celebrated novels was as precise about his death, Conarroe explained, as he had been about his life and work. Attendees included Robert Caro, Salman Rushdie, Mia Farrow and Don DeLillo and speakers ranged from Conarroe, president emeritus of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, to fellow authors such as Edna O’Brien, Norman Manea and Judith Thurman. The setting, the library’s Celeste Bartos Forum and its glass domed ceiling, was requested by Roth. So were the speakers, even though the list changed over time as such previous choices as Saul Bellow and William Styron passed away. Roth also picked out the music, Gabriel Faure’s “Elegie in C Minor, op. 24, which ended the nearly 2 ½-hour ceremony. Roth died in May. He was 85. According to Conarroe, Roth wanted as much laughter as tears, and guests shared memories of his wit and of the surprising tenderness for a man so direct and unsparing in his work. Thurman spoke of driving around Connecticut with Roth as he searched for a proper burial spot, what he called “A tomb with a view.” New Yorker staff writer Claudia Roth Pierpont noted that he referred to his Manhattan neighborhood, where other authors lived nearby, as “Writers’ Block.” Roth never had children, but friends remembered his rapport and sense of play with their kids, whether collaborating through email on stories with them or sitting on the floor of his darkened studio and shining a light on the ceiling to make the room seem like a planetarium. Roth despised sentimentality nearly as much he hated death, but he apparently had exceptions. Bernard Avishai, a Dartmouth College professor who wrote a book about “Portnoy’s Complaint,” remembered Roth’s improbable joy after adopting two kittens. “I am really hypnotized,” he said of them. But his feelings changed and his mood was darker the next time Avishai spoke with him. “I had to return my dear two kittens,” Roth told him. “I fear I have become dependent.” Roth often struggled with depression and physical ailments, but his friends described a contented man over the last few years, after he shocked the literary world by revealing that his 2010 novel “Nemesis” would be his last book. Retirement did not leave him helpless, but liberated. He read, swam, walked, socialized and referred to his post-publication years as a welcome

Various ex-girlfriends looked in on him. Manea, just three years younger than Roth, recalled that he and his friend competed over who had more stent procedures. Pierpont remembered Roth looking around his hospital room and expressing relief that he didn’t have to write about it. Even the nearness of death, what the longtime atheist called “the enemy,” did not throw him. “I have been to see the great enemy and walked around him and talked to him,” he told the writer Ben Taylor. “And he is not to be feared. I promise.”

A paperback copy of “Lady Chatterley’s Lover” used by the judge in the U.K. obscenity trial of the novel’s publisher is expected to sell at auction for up to $20,000, auctioneer Sotheby’s said yesterday. Penguin Books was prosecuted in 1960 for publishing D.H. Lawrence’s book about an affair between a wealthy woman and her husband’s gamekeeper, a landmark in the frank literary depiction of sexuality. A prosecution lawyer infamously asked in court whether it was “a book that you would ... wish your wife or your servants to read?” It took jurors just three hours of deliberation to find Penguin not guilty, and the case came to be seen as a landmark victory for freedom of speech and a sign of changing social mores. The copy being sold by Sotheby’s in London on Oct. 30 comes with a damask bag hand-stitched by Dorothy Byrne, the wife of judge Lawrence Byrne, so that press photographers could not snap the judge with the scandalous tome. It also includes a sheet of paper with Dorothy Byrne’s handwritten notes detailing the book’s explicit passages, with descriptions — “love making,” ‘’coarse” — and page numbers.
Howard Fenster, son of a bookkeeper for the Mafia, has been “in the life” since he was 10. But now, he and his girlfriend, Ariel, have fled, hoping to escape the Italian, Russian and Asian gangs fighting over what’s left of non-gentrified Brooklyn. They had dreamed of faraway places, but they make it only a subway ride away to Greenwich Village before becoming paralyzed by “inertia” and post-traumatic stress from the bloodshed of “Debasements of Brooklyn,” the first novel in Ira Gold’s noir series. Near the opening of “Bones of Brooklyn,” Fenster’s old boss, Pauli Bones, tracks him down and orders him back. Some people need killing, and Pauli’s depleted gang requires reinforcements. Fenster wonders if one of those who needs killing is himself. After all, his attempt to disappear put his loyalty into question. Worse, it’s no secret that he reads, a bizarre habit that makes him suspect in his violent world. Fenster’s fellow mobsters would be even more suspicious if they knew that he longs for a life of the mind, his thoughts swimming with the wisdom and folly of the classics from Orwell to Proust. Nevertheless, over Ariel’s initial objections, Fenster returns to Brooklyn. There, he discovers that Pauli isn’t the only one who wants something from him. Rose Spoleto, widow of a mobster Fenster killed in the first novel, wants a favor. So does Alexandra Rachmaninoff, the wife of a Russian hoodlum. To name a few. The result is a yarn thick with tension, violence, profanity, kinky sex and triple crosses that have Fenster, and the reader, continually wondering who is on whose side and where the next bullet will come from. Fenster gradually discovers that he is much better at scheming and killing than he ever realized. This alternately energizes and depresses him, but it excites Ariel. “Eighty-five percent of life may be showing up, while a mere 15 percent consists of an ability to pull a trigger,” Fenster muses. “If my lifelong ambivalence gets ripped away, what remains? It’s my questioning of the value of doing anything that provides all the meaning of my life.” Ira Gold tells his fast-paced tale in a tight, quirky style that is rich with irony, black humor, colorful settings and memorable characters.
