BQE Rehab Plan Would Replace Promenade with 6-Lane Highway SEE PAGES 2-3

Major Damage to Historic Heights Feared, Pros and Cons Heard at Public Forum New York City Department of Transportation officials changed the location of a public hearing on the proposed BQE construction project, which took place too late for this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s print deadline. But a variety of alternatives were proposed, some of which included removing parts of Brooklyn Bridge Park instead of the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, to provide alternative traffic lanes during reconstruction. For a full report on the meeting, as well as a history of how the Promenade and the cantilevered highway came to be, see brooklyneagle.com.

The city’s Department of Transportation (DOT) is backing a plan that would temporarily replace the famous Brooklyn Heights Promenade with a six-lane highway during the reconstruction of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE) between Atlantic Avenue and Sands Street. DOT says the plan, in which 153,000 vehicles a day would rumble past the back doors of some of the most valuable real estate in Brooklyn, would allow the rehab of the decrepit 1.5mile stretch of roadway to be completed in six years, as opposed to eight or more years using the typical incremental, lane-bylane repair approach. The incremental approach could back traffic up for miles, especially if the operating traffic lanes became blocked, DOT says. Thousands of trucks from the BQE could be diverted onto the streets of Brooklyn if repairs on the aging structure aren’t completed before it reaches its expiration date in 2026. Construction could start in 2023. The stretch includes the BQE’s triple cantilever underpinning the Promenade. DOT would tear down the existing Promenade (along with its trees) to build the six-lane roadway, which could take about a year and a half to install. BQE traffic would move up to the Promenade level, opening up the levels below for construction. At the north end of the Promenade, the temporary highway would cut across Columbia Heights near Cranberry Street — an area that most people do not realize is actually a bridge over the BQE, NYC DOT Commissioner Polly Trottenberg said during a tour with reporters last Friday. “This seam here is the line of the bridge infrastructure,” she said, pointing to a diagonal line cutting across the sidewalk. “There are 21 bridge structures, and this one is in the worst condition.” Harry Chapin Playground, which is actually on a bridge, would be temporarily demolished as well, she said. “We would build a permanent span to replace this bridge and run the traffic across it while we’re working on it down below,” DOT Deputy Commissioner of Bridges Robert Collyer told reporters. “Following completion, the Columbia Heights section “will go back to being Columbia Heights street and it will be wider going out that way. So you could have a bigger open area for the public. We have to replace the street as part of the local network. And we have to replace the park [Promenade].” Though DOT favors the six-year approach, the Environmental Impact Statement “makes the final decision,” Collyer said.

What About Squibb Park Pool and Bridge?

Old, forgotten warehouses are buried within the interior of the BQE.

When asked how the construction will affect Squibb Park Bridge, Collyer said, “Squibb Park Bridge is currently closed. I’ve been contacted by [Brooklyn Bridge Park]. They’re not sure when or what they’re going to do to it yet. We’re waiting to hear more.” When asked how the BQE work will affect the much ballyhooed swimming pool proposed for Squibb Park, Collyer said, “I’m honestly not sure that’s the best place for the pool. Especially since we’re coming here. But that’s not my decision.” The use of eminent domain is not yet being considered at the moment, Collyer said. But he did not rule out that some Columbia Heights residents may have to temporarily move out of their apartments. “We will need to utilize parkland … and we’re looking to make it better before we leave.” Yards next to the Brooklyn Bridge will be used for “lay down areas,” he said. Sections of Van Voorhees Park may get worked on as well. Any pollution abatement measures for people living next to the new highway will come out of the environmental impact study, Collyer said. The Promenade could be made permanently wider following the BQE rehab. “That will come out of the environmental study and what the people want,” he said.

Inside the BQE DOT officials and reporters donned hard hats to tour inside the BQE’s cavernous interior. Tanvi Pandya, project manager with the city’s Department of Transportation, pointed out cracks, rust, exposed rebar and stalactites made of calcium leeched from the highway by years of salt spreading, hanging like ice cycles from the ceiling of the BQE’s many interior vaults.

Heights Promenade with 6-Lane Highway

Continued from page 2 As the rebar gets exposed it starts corroding, Pandya said. “As it corrodes and the concrete and the rebar work separately, that’s when you start losing capacity of the structure. Every 50 feet or so we have joints like this and most of them are leaking or showing deterioration.” “Another issue we have with the structure is everything you see is concrete. There are no steel girders to provide separate support. If you need to remove a section of that deck to repair it … there’s no superstructure to hold the rest of it in place,” she said.

‘Epic Challenge’

Trottenberg called the reconstruction job an “epic challenge.” “We know there are going to be huge community concerns and we recognize that the

impact of a project like this is very big. It also has huge implications for traffic and the economy of the whole city,” she said. “I can’t overstate what a large traffic volume 153,000 vehicles a day is. And if you look at that volume, a lot of it is truck traffic … It is basically the major interstate of New York City,” Trottenberg said. “We don’t see a way to function without this roadway.” DOT was set to hold a town hall on Sept. 27, “and we want to hear from everybody,” Trottenberg said. The event was to be held at the NYCHA Ingersoll Houses Community Center, 177 Myrtle Ave., at 6:30 p.m. There will be more town halls, workshops and meetings with large and small groups in the future. The environmental assessment process will take about two years, Trottenberg said. See more about the project at www.bqei278.com/en/home.

This seam in the sidewalk on Columbia Heights near Cranberry Street is the line of the bridge infrastructure, and this is where the temporary six-lane replacement highway will cut across Columbia Heights and the current site of Chapin Playground.

Cracks, rust and stalactites made of concrete leeched from the highway by years of salt spreading hung like icicles from the ceiling of the BQE’s interior vault.

Reporters toured the interior of the section of the BQE which lies under the Brooklyn Heights Promenade.

Squibb Bridge to BBP Busted Indefinitely By Mary Frost

Brooklyn Heights Press

The formerly bouncy Squibb Bridge connecting Brooklyn Heights to Brooklyn Bridge Park will be closed indefinitely, according to Brooklyn Bridge Park. The bridge was barricaded shut in July after an inspection revealed a piece of wood was in “poor condition.” In a statement, park officials said that testing had identified “additional members of wood with higher-than-expected moisture levels, which have compromised the condition and quality of the wood. We are working diligently with our engineers to design the appropriate solution to reopen the bridge as soon as possible.” No timeline has been set for repairs, according to the statement. “Unfortunately, the bridge will need to remain closed during design development, which will determine the associated timeline for repairs. We will continue to provide updates on our progress,” park officials said. This is not the first time the popular wooden walkway has been closed for repairs since it opened in March 2013. The 450-foot-long, $4.1 million wooden bridge, which bounced noticeably when people walked along it, was shut down in August 2014 when the cables supporting it began to sag and the wooden walkway tilted south. In January 2016, BBP hired global engineering firm Arup to plan and oversee repairs. The bridge, officially an “underslung suspension timber bridge,” finally reopened in April 2017 — without much of its trademark bounce. Litigation with the initial designers, the firm HNTB Corporation, was settled just this year. HNTB is headed by MacArthur Genius Grantwinner Ted Zoli. In April 2017, David Mills, director of Gardiner & Theobald, which manages all the park’s capital projects, said the bridge had an expected 25- to 30-year life cycle, and maintenance would be ongoing with yearly inspection.

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.

These Quieter Places are beyond certain borders. They are elsewhere, for they are not places, they are images. 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 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.

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.

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

Come See Bushwick, Before or After the L-Pocalypse Starts Continued from page 16INB They have window arches with keystones decorated with human and animal faces. 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.

Hon. Joseph A. Zayas, the administrative judge of the Queens County Supreme Court, Criminal Term.

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

Members of Zion German Evangelical Lutheran Church pause for a group photo before heading to the Steuben Parade in Manhattan, where they marched with other German-Americans.

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.

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.”

Cranberry Street Fair Canceled This Year Hope to Revive Beloved Heights Tradition in 2019

Brooklyn Heights Press

The Cranberry Street Association has announced that the Cranberry Street Fair has been cancelled this year due to “lack of funds and person-power.” Organized originally by artists John and Richanda Rhoden, the fair ran for 45 years until 2016, the last one overseen by Ms. Rhoden at the age of 100. When Ms. Rhoden died in 2017, the fair was put on hold. Organizers said that they are making plans to revive the fair in 2019. “We’re in planning for 2019. We’ll be meeting once a month to make sure it’s really special,” a spokesperson said. One of the original neighborhood street fairs, generations of Brooklyn Heights residents came out to play “guess the cranberries,” get a belly dancing lesson, climb into a firetruck, browse books and treasures, parade their pets and have their fortunes told. At the first Cranberry Street Fair in 1971, Mayor Koch judged the children’s bakeoff. Tom Pennell won. Part of the charm was the fair’s small size, Ms. Rhoden told the Brooklyn Heights Press several years ago. “It’s so human. We don’t want it to get bigger,” she said. “We don’t want people to come in and sell their products; we manufacture everything ourselves — with the exception of the belly dancers, but a lot of them come from Atlantic Avenue.” Rhoden threw a party for the volunteers every year the night before the fair, even at the age of 100.

Two Plead Guilty to Violent Armed Robbery of Court St. Jewelry Store By Rob Abruzzese

Brooklyn Heights Press

Two of the four men involved pleaded guilty in federal court last Friday to the violent armed robbery of a jewelry store located at 60 Court St. in Brooklyn Heights. Darryl Odom and Lashawn Williams, both from the Bronx, pleaded guilty to Hobbs Act Robbery and brandishing a firearm during a crime of violence for the May 25, 2017 gunpoint robbery. Odom also pleaded guilty to a separate robbery that took place in Boerum Hill on Feb. 10, 2017. Two co-defendants, Kenneth Davis and Shaka Davis, both from Brooklyn, had previously pleaded guilty to Hobbs Act Robbery for their roles in the 60 Court St. robbery. On May 25, 2017 at roughly 5:15 p.m., Odom and two of the co-conspirators entered the jewelry store on Court Street disguised as construction workers while Shaka Davis waited outside as a lookout, according to court documents. One of the robbers pistol-whipped the store owner, which caused lacerations to his head. Odom and the others then grabbed several hundred thousand dollars in cash and jewelry before they escaped. The defendants then fled to the subway station where their images were recorded by surveillance cameras and law enforcement officers were able to recover numerous pieces of evidence they dropped including gloves, a hardhat and an envelope that contained $10,000. Odom and Williams face a mandatory minimum sentence of seven years to life in prison. Kenneth Davis faces a mandatory minimum sentence of five years to life and Shaka Davis faces up to 20 years.

The shopkeeper at the jewelry store located at 60 Court St. suffered lacerations to his face and head during a daytime robbery that took place on May 25, 2017. All four defendants have pleaded guilty in the case and are awaiting sentencing. Heights Press file photo by Mary Frost

Landmarks Preservation Commission Tells Marvel Architects to Change its Design for 29 Jay St. Project The taller building in the background at left is 29 Jay St. as originally envisioned by Marvel Architects.

This is the initial design for an office building at 29 Jay St. It's going to be modified. By Lore Croghan

Brooklyn Heights Press

Bye-bye, ballet school. The owners of a DUMBO Historic District warehouse in which famous ballerina Gelsey Kirkland's dance school is located plan to tear down the structure and construct an 11-story office building. On Tuesday, the city Landmarks Preservation Commission reviewed Marvel Architects' design for the proposed development at 29 Jay St. — and sent the architecture firm back to the drawing board for a do-over. In a hearing at the preservation agency's Manhattan headquarters, several commissioners said the design of the proposed 148-foot-tall Forman Building had excessively large windows compared with the amount of masonry on its facade. The masonry would be glass fiber reinforced concrete in a beige hue. The construction material is a reference to historic factory buildings in the neighborhood.

The design would be “out of place in DUMBO” and more suitable to an office district like Bryant Park, the commission's Vice Chairman Fred Bland said. Various members of the Forman family have owned the property on the corner of Jay and Plymouth streets since 1974, city Finance Department records indicate. The current ownership structure is a limited liability company with Peter Forman as a member. In bygone days, Forman Brothers Inc. was a neighborhood manufacturer of metal housewares. In her testimony, Doreen Gallo of the DUMBO Neighborhood Alliance applauded the Forman family's “ongoing commitment to DUMBO” and said the proposed 29 Jay St. project “would be an exceptional addition that will further enhance our neighborhood and therefore quality of life.”

Is it Kosher to Demolish The Existing Building?

The low-rise warehouse that now stands at 29 Jay St. was constructed in the mid-1970s.

Here's a street-level look at Marvel Architects' initial proposed design for 29 Jay St. 8 • Brooklyn Heights Press • Thursday, September 27, 2018

Since 2015 it has been the home of the Gelsey Kirkland Academy of Classical Ballet and a theater called GK Arts Center. Kirkland, one of the most renowned American dancers of her generation, joined New York City Ballet at age 15 in 1968. She joined American Ballet Theater in 1974 at the invitation of dance superstar Mikhail Baryshnikov, who had just defected from the Soviet Union. Kirkland moved from dancing to teaching and coaching in 1986. The previous occupant of 29 Jay St. was St. Ann's Warehouse, which staged theater productions there for several years before it moved to its permanent home in the historic Tobacco Warehouse at the edge of Brooklyn Bridge Park. In testimony at the hearing, Christabel Gough of the Society for the Architecture of the City argued that the existing building at 29 Jay St. has value because of its use by artists — who were a factor in reviving the neighborhood when it fell into disrepair. “Demolition of the existing building is a

serious mistake,” Gough said. “It has a history and a potential cultural mission.” The city is starting to recognize landmarks for their cultural significance even when they lack “architectural distinction” — like the Stonewall Inn, the icon of the gay rights movement, she said.

Zoning Changes Sought

In order to do office construction at 29 Jay St., the Formans need to get zoning changes from the city. According to paperwork they filed, if they don't obtain these zoning changes, they'll do asof-right residential construction instead. This alternative development would be 145 feet tall and have 141 apartments, retail space and 45 parking spaces. Marvel Architects has a distinguished track record in DUMBO. It drew up the award-winning design for St. Ann's Warehouse, an avantgarde theater at 45 Water St. It was constructed inside the walls of an 1860s tobacco-storage building.
