A New App Is Helping North Brooklyn Residents Save Food, Trash and Money By Alex Wieckowski Greenpoint Gazette

A new app called YourLocal is helping residents save on food while simultaneously helping shops to reduce food waste. The app serves as a platform that connects price-conscious residents with local shops that have a surplus of food. Users get notifications when a shop has unsold food and can buy it straight from the app at a discounted price and pick it up at the store. The app generates revenue by taking a small percentage of each purchase. Since launching in July, YourLocal has

amassed 2,500 users and signed up about 15 shops including bakeries, juiceries, delicatessens, and restaurants. So far, YourLocal users have bought more than 300 meals that would have otherwise been tossed and sent to landfills. The shops include Woops Greenpoint, Baba’s Pierogies, Di Fara Pizza, Key Food, Vinnie’s Pizzeria and others. At Polka Dot Cafe, for example, the store alerts users that it has “a few soups in surplus” and offers YourLocal users two soups for the price of one. con nued on p.3

Greenpoint Church to Be Converted to Single-Family Home The long-vacant St. Elias Church building at 145 Kent St. in Greenpoint will soon be converted into a single-family home, Department of Building filings reveal. The new three-story residence, which will include more than 13,800 square feet, will be outfitted with new stairs, a renovated kitchen, new interior partition and new equipment, according to published reports. The project will also reportedly include a former Sunday school building at 149 Kent St. Since the building is landmarked, the developer must also receive approvals from the city’s Landmarks Preservation Commission. The project is being managed by Hirsch Enterprises, a real estate firm with experience in converting houses of worship and landmarked non-residential buildings to homes.

Restaurateurs, With Three Eateries in New Hotel, Seek Flavor of Older Williamsburg Restaurateurs Zeb Stewart and Jud Mongell have opened three restaurants at the new Williamsburg location of the Hoxton hotel chain. They say these restaurants have the ethos of the smaller-scale Williamsburg of two decades ago, and they should know since they helped to develop the area’s restaurant scene back then, according to Eater. Stewart opened the famed music venue and bar Union Pool in 2000, and Mongell opened Five Leaves on the Greenpoint/Williamsburg border in 2008. The menu of the ground-floor restaurant, Klein’s, “reflects the goal of being a gathering place with simple Americana dishes centered around a wood-burning grill,” Eater said. Summerly, a rooftop bar featuring views of the Manhattan skyline, will open soon. And Backyard, a second-floor terrace bar that also has outdoor space, is designed to be a community gathering place and party spot, complete with ping-pong tables.

A New App Is Helping North Brooklyn Residents Save Food, Trash and Money con nued from page 1

The app’s founders, Kasper K. Nielsen and Sebastian Dueholm, started YourLocal in Copenhagen in 2015. The app originally began as an SMS (the formal name for text messaging) list. Every time a shop had food left over, a message was sent to the SMS list, and friends and family received a good offer of cheap surplus food. YourLocal now has approximately 150,000 environmentally conscious users in Denmark, said a company spokesman. Once the business model proved successful, the founders looked to take their green technology international. After learning that New York City spends about $180 million annually sending food waste to landfills, they

decided to expand and launch their successful app across the Atlantic. According to a YourLocal spokesman, the app launched in Greenpoint and Williamsburg because of its community-oriented neighborhood reputation where residents care about their food and drink consumption. “It’s a hub of freelancers, creatives, eco-conscious millennials and families whom this very app benefits,” said the spokesman. “When they learn that they can use YourLocal to save money, support their favorite shops and fight food waste — it's a surge of excitement and purpose,” he added. YourLocal is currently working on building a community around the app with plans to expand into Manhattan in the near future. “A third of all food produced globally for human consumption is lost or wasted, so there is a crucial need to minimize waste,” said a spokesman for the company, “especially in metropolitan cities where there is a constant surplus of food left over in so many businesses.”

First in Series of DREAD Talks Takes On Woes of Transportation with Comedy By Paul Frangipane Special to the *UHHQSRLQW *D]HWWH

A handful of the comedy world’s great minds convened in the back of a Bushwick bar Thursday night in a gathering that may have been more productive than an MTA board meeting. Sparking laughs from the crowd, the comedians vented out some of the frustration that’s so present today and gave suggestions on how to improve the city’s transportation system. The first-ever DREAD Talk, sponsored by the Brooklyn Eagle, featured seven comedians who were judged on their transit proposals, critiques and comedy chops at the Starr Bar on Starr Street between Wyckoff and Irving avenues. “I’m tired of walking through blood on the subway and convincing myself it’s paint,” comedian Lance Weiss told the crowd. “I’m tired of people cutting their fingernails on the train … I swear to God if one of them flies into my chicken pot pie.” Weiss’s proposals for the subway were simple: “They should pay us to ride,” and “We should all move.” Charlie Bardey shared the dark thoughts his anxious brain takes him to in transit. “Every time I imagine committing an unspeak-

able act of violence to myself or others on the train, I instead imagine giving them a full pizza,” he said on stage. Maya Sharma demonstrated a re-enactment of running into someone she knows on the train; Maggie Crane performed the character of “Canarsie Local,” or the L train, to set the train’s story straight; and John Galli introduced a new form of transportation, riding on the back of a homeless person while dangling a McChicken in front of their face. In the end, Jennie Sutton, a writer for Paid Off on TruTV, took home the prize of a $30 Chipotle gift card for her PowerPoint presentation on why New Jersey is great and NJ Transit is not. Sutton thanked the judges saying, “You guys, this is gonna feed my family for a week, thank you so much.” This month’s topic involved issues on urban transportation, but DREAD Talks will continue to feature a variety of subjects that are rightfully surrounded by frustration. :DWFK KLJKOLJKWV IURP WKH VKRZ DW EURRNO\QHD JOH FRP

Alliance for Coney Island Hosts Back-to-School Fair BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

undreds of kids in Coney Island are beginning the school year with brand new backpacks that were donated to them, thanks to the Alliance for Coney Island Inc., which organized a back-to-school fair to get the youngsters off to a good start. The alliance sponsored a Back-to-School Fair on a five-block stretch of Mermaid Ave. on Sept. 8. Composed of businesses, non-profit groups and community leaders, the alliance is a public-private partnership that works to improve the quality of life for Coney Island residents. The alliance receives support from Borough President Eric Adams and the New York City Economic Development Corporation to operate its various community improvement programs. On Saturday, the alliance handed out 500 backpacks to children attending the fair with their parents. The kids got an added bonus. The backpacks were filled with school supplies. Councilmember Mark Treyger, a Democrat who represents Coney Island, helped organize the fair, along with the New York City Department of Transportation’s Weekend Walks program. Alliance Executive Director Alexandra Silversmith said the fair had

a double purpose: to help ensure that local children had what they needed for school, and to promote Mermaid Avenue as a great place to shop. “We are proud to partner with our local elected officials and local businesses to give back to the community and provide essential school supplies to students while also creating a celebratory day on Mermaid Avenue, the main commercial corridor for our residents and businesses,” Silversmith said in a statement. In addition to the distribution of backpacks and school supplies, the fair also featured performances by dance groups, musicians, Zumba lessons, salsa demonstrations, face painting, art displays, free health screenings and information on job readiness programs, education opportunities and afterschool programs, according to organizers.

Johnny Saavedra climbs the rock wall. “What better way to celebrate the start of a new school year than by bringing the community together for a day of free, fun activities, helpful resources and free school supply giveaways,” said Treyger, who serves as chairperson of the City Council’s Committee on Education. “In today’s difficult economic times, many parents struggle just to make ends meet. Today’s event will hopefully help to alleviate the high-cost of supplies and send children to school with some of the items they need for a successful year,” Democratic state Sen. Diane Savino said in a statement. Savino and another Coney Island lawmaker, U.S. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries,

helped organize the fair. “As students prepare to return to the classroom, parents are busy making sure their children have everything they need to succeed this school year. By putting everything from health screenings to backpack donations in one place, the community fair makes it easier for busy families to get their kids ready for school, all while putting a smile on everyone’s faces,” Jeffries stated. Eddie Mark, district manager of Community Board 13, was impressed with the fair, calling it a successful day. “Letting children be children before going back to school at a local community event is a wonderful thing,” he said in a statement.

Local Pol: Four Years Too Long to Air Condition City Schools BY JOHN ALEXANDER JALEXANDER@ BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

n April, 2017, de Blasio and the City Council announced a five-year, $28 million plan to install air conditioning in all classrooms by 2022. However, with some schools in New York being forced to implement early dismissal on the first day of classes due to high temperatures, suddenly the matter is ta king on added significance. The thermometer hit 90 degrees on Wednesday, Sept. 5, as students entered their new classrooms for the first time. Thursday wasn’t much better with the temperature rising to 85 degrees. The announced time frame does not sit well with state Sen. Marty Golden who believes the project should be completed much sooner.

Holy Angels Academy Students Tie Ribbons for 9/11 Victims BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

tudents at a Bay Ridge Catholic school are far too young to remember the Sept. 11 terrorist attack that took place 17 years ago, long before they were born. But they are aware of the significance of that tragic day in U.S. history, according to their principal, who led the youngsters in a commemoration of the event Tuesday morning, Sept. 11. “Sept. 11 is part of our curriculum. Our teachers talk to the children in each of our classes about what happened,” Rosemarie McGoldrick, principal of Holy Angels Catholic Academy, told this newspaper as she stood in the school’s courtyard and watched approvingly as youngsters tied red, white and blue ribbons to a fence. Next to the fence where the children were carefully affixing their ribbons stood a permanent memorial to Sept. 11, a small section of a steel beam from the Twin Towers. The beam was brought

to the courtyard several years ago by the Rev. James Devlin, who was the pastor of Our Lady of Angels Catholic Church at the time. Holy Angels Catholic Academy has close ties to the church, which is located next door to the school. Holy Angels Academy is located at 337 74th St. The presence of the steel beam serves as a daily reminder to the students and to Our Lady of Angels parishioners of the sacrifices made on Sept. 11, 2001. Seventeen parishioners of Our Lady of Angels were killed in the World Trade Center that day. A plaque listing the names of the local victims is attached to the fence behind the steel beam.

Teachers and students alike took part in the ribbon tying tribute on the anniversary of Sept. 11. Lake and James Riches, as well as a police officer, Moira Smith. The list also contains civilians who either worked in the World Trade Center or were there that day by chance. Barbara Habib, a senior vice president at Marsh & McLennan, worked in her company’s midtown Manhattan office but was in the firm’s office in the North Tower for a

conference when the building was struck by a hijacked jetliner. On Tuesday, Holy Angels Academy had a wreath placed in front of the steel beam. Russell Berry, the school’s social studies teacher, planned the ribbon-tying tribute and directed the children, who went up to the fence once class at a time. The memorial service started with the Rev. Jason

Espinal, the parochial vicar of Our Lady of Angels Church, leading the students and teachers in prayer. “We pray for the families of the victims. We pray for our nation,” he said. State Sen. Marty Golden, who was an altar boy at Our Lady of Angels Church when he was growing up in Bay Ridge, attended the ceremony and talked to the students about the importance of remembering Sept. 11 as the years go by and the date recedes into the distant past. At some point in the next few decades, Golden said, the students standing in the school courtyard will be the civic, business and political leaders, and will be bearing the responsibility of maintaining the country’s focus on Sept. 11. “It’s important that we never, ever forget. You are the future who will be leading this great nation. Never let these incidents happen again in our future,” Golden told the children. The ceremony ended with Espinal leading everyone in the singing of “God Bless America.”

The Atomic Cafe

Though the topic of atomic holocaust is a grave matter, The Atomic Cafe approaches it with black humor. Much of the humor derives from the modern audience's reaction to the old training films, such as the Duck and Cover film shown in schools. A quote to illustrate what can be perceived as black humor, culled from the movie: "Viewed from a safe distance, the atomic bomb is one of the most beautiful sights ever seen by man," a U.S. Army training film declares. Wikipedia This film recounts a defining period of 20th century history and serves as a chilling and often hilarious reminder of cold-war era paranoia in the United States--artfully presented through a collage of newsreel footage, government archive, military training films, and fifties music.

QUIETER PLACES

Marshall LaCount’s Quieter Places paintings are a collective approach to places quieter than the city; quieter than a mind treading in traumas; quieter than political despondency. 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

MARY MATTINGLY: WHAT HAPPENS AFTER

BRIC has commissioned activist artist Mary Mattingly to create a major new work, one that examines the connection between mineral mining and the massive military industrial complex; and its profound effects on the environment, individuals, and communities. With an expanding military economy and slow erosion of public services, this exhibition poses the question of what happens when our public spaces become more militarized. A creatively transformed 19,000 pound military cargo truck at the center of the exhibition acts to turn the conversation outward toward reimagining a public life together through the use of objects with violent histories.

AVENUE

Sunset Park/Greenwood Heights/Bay Ridge

One of the most dramatic sights on Brooklyn’s Fifth Avenue is the landmarked entrance to Green-Wood Cemetery. See next page. INBrooklyn photo by Lore Croghan

GREENWOOD HEIGHTS The neighborhood name Greenwood Heights is sometimes considered a real-estate stunt but the title was actually referred to in an 1846 Brooklyn Eagle article about a new ferry from Manhattan to the area. The article lists perks of the route including “facilities for communication with the groves of Greenwood Heights, and the lovely bay of Gowanus.” From the 19th century through the middle 20th century, the area’s economy was dominated by the working Brooklyn waterfront but the neighborhood is best known for its namesake, Green-Wood Cemetery.

The 478-acre space was commissioned in 1838 as a retreat where visitors could respect the dead and appreciate nature. Until Prospect Park was completed in 1873, the cemetery was mostly used by Brooklynites as a recreational space and as the harbor became increasingly popular, a daily stage coach shuttled visitors from the ferries to Green-Wood. Its success as a tourist attraction fueled a competition to design a public park for New York City. The winning design for “Greensward,” submitted by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux formed the basis for Central Park. Buried among Green-Wood Cemetery’s half-million graves are William Marcy (Boss) Tweed, De Witt Clinton, Lola Montez, Peter Cooper, Henry Ward Beecher, Nathaniel Currier, James Ives, Margaret Sanger and Leonard Bernstein. —Norm Goldstein

That’s St. Patrick’s with newly constructed condo development 401 95th St. INBrooklyn photo by Lore Croghan

Sunset Park/Greenwood Heights/Bay Ridge

Come Stroll Fifth Avenue in Bay Ridge By Lore Croghan

INBrooklyn From convent to condos. Now that’s a study in contrasts. At the very end of Brooklyn’s Fifth Avenue, a brand-new apartment building stands on a site where nuns lived. Even if you’re too young to remember there was a convent at 401 95th St. before the Arcadia Bay Ridge condos were constructed, you’ll see another big contrast when you walk down the avenue. The glass-clad condo building is right across the street from St. Patrick’s, a yellow-brick 1920s church with a bell tower and a rose window. The Bay Ridge span of Fifth Avenue is a great place for a stroll. The logical way to take this walk is by starting at the car dealerships on the corner of 65th Street and heading south. Along the way, there’s a fascinating mix of Middle-Eastern restaurants and shops, businesses with longevity like Mike’s Donuts and the cutest canine mural ever.

Before we show you interesting sights on our north-to-south Bay Ridge trek, we first want to spotlight the avenue’s very last block, where seven-story condo building 401 95th St. is located. Condo sponsor J&J Property & Management Group LLC bought the former convent site from St. Patrick’s for $3 million in 2009, city Finance Department records show. According to a posting on website We3.com, in February the state Attorney General accepted a condo offering plan for Arcadia Bay Ridge filed by attorney Jodi B. Zimmerman of Ficara & Associates PC. There are 22 residential units, one commercial unit and 13 parking spaces. The Attorney General’s real estate finance database says the expected total sellout price is $23.637 million. The sponsor’s principals are Tak Kwong Cheung, Hing Ying Cheung, Tin Tak Cheng and Po Yung Cheng. When we checked StreetEasy.com’s posting about Arcadia Bay Ridge after our stroll, asking prices for available condos ranged from $918,000 for a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment to $525,000 for a one-bedroom, one-bathroom unit.

A Pre-Civil War Parish for Catholic Soldiers

BAY RIDGE Straddled by the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway and boosted over New York harbor, Bay Ridge’s history highlights how developments in transportation have reshaped Brooklyn as a whole. The Dutch West Indian Company bought the land that is now Bay Ridge from the Nyack Indians in 1652. Named Yellow Hook or Yellow Ridge for the color of the clay found there, the community pushed to rename it Bay Ridge after the yellow-fever epidemic of 1848 and1849 tainted its original name. Wealthy businessmen and industrialists visited the area as a summer retreat, building mansions on the Bay Ridge bluffs that can still be seen today. The neighborhood was transformed after power broker Robert Moses pushed construction of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, in opposition to ridge residents, 8,000 of whom were displaced for construction. The bridge has since become a neighborhood icon for the widely diverse population. See page 18INB. —Norm Goldstein

Because of the way Bay Ridge’s street grid is laid out, Fourth and Fifth avenues form a V at 95th Street and Fifth Avenue disappears. Fourth Avenue continues south to the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. Because of this set-up, the Roman Catholic Church of St. Patrick has a Fourth Avenue address although it’s directly across 95th Street from Arcadia Bay Ridge on Fifth Avenue. St. Patrick’s has a storied history. It was first established as a mission in the 1840s. Back then, St. Patrick’s served as the parish for Catholic soldiers at Fort Hamilton.

The church building that preceded the present-day one was built in the early 1850s. Fort Hamilton soldiers’ donations of one dollar per week helped to pay for its construction.

A Remedy for Bald Tires and a Billiard Hall

Now let’s circle back to the northern end of Bay Ridge and take this stroll. The first spot that will catch your eye is 67 Street Tire Shop, which is in a storefront at 6702 Fifth Ave. There’s always a display of tires outside on the sidewalk.

Eye on FIFTH

AVENUE

Sunset Park/Greenwood Heights/Bay Ridge

ABOVE: At day’s end, folks head to hilltop Sunset Park for some fresh air. By Lore Croghan

INBrooklyn The most dazzling sight on Fifth Avenue in Greenwood Heights and Sunset Park is a graveyard’s gateway. This isn’t just any graveyard. It’s Green-Wood Cemetery, which has been a major visitor magnet pretty much since its 1838 founding. In the 19th century, New Yorkers took carriage rides, picnicked and partied in the hilly 478-acre burial ground. Though the setting around it has become urban, it still looks bucolic today. The brownstone gates — which the city landmarked in 1966 — are located at Green-Wood’s main entrance on Fifth Avenue at 25th Street in Greenwood Heights.

john designed these Gothic Revival-style arches in 1861. You’ll see them as you head south along Fifth Avenue, which is lined with mixed-use rowhouses a century old or more. Mingled in among them are financial institutions, religious buildings — and a popular hilltop recreation area that, like the neighborhood, is named Sunset Park. The park extends along Fifth Avenue from 41st to 44th streets.

The Jackie Gleason Depot

How Sweet It Is! Eleven blocks away from Green-Wood Cemetery’s gates, the first building you’ll find in Sunset Park is the Jackie Gleason Depot. It’s a 919,000-square-foot NYC Transit System building. In 1988, the MTA named it after the late comedian. He played Brooklyn bus driver Ralph Kramden in the 1950s CBSTV series “The Honeymooners.” The depot is located at 847 Architects Richard Upjohn and his son Richard Michell Up- Fifth Ave. on the corner of 36th Street. At 889 Fifth Ave. on the northeast corner of 39th Street, a curved turret is a nice touch. The building houses the Sunset Park Diner. One of Sunset Park’s grandest Fifth Avenue buildings is the former Ah, the view. Bay Ridge Savings Bank, which is made of limestone and has Ionic From atop a hill in Sunset Park, there are marvelous vista of the harbor, the Vercolumns flanking its front door and razano Narrows Bridge and the Manhattan skyline -- and the setting sun. high arched windows.

the fertile soil and the waterways to their liking, acquired the land from the Canarsies and began farming along the waterfront. It became more of an urban community after Brooklyn was made a city in 1834 and developed further with the building of horse car lines and factories in the area. The neighborhood grew dramatically after Irving T. Bush bought oceanfront property and built Bush Terminal in 1895, a complex of piers, warehouses and factory lofts that created Brooklyn as a major port for shipping and made Sunset Park into a busy waterfront area. Later, the Brooklyn Army Terminal was constructed (1919) as a military ocean supply depot that operated through World War II. But the building of the Gowanus Expressway, completed in 1941, virtually cut the neighborhood off from the waterfront and workers began leaving, changing the nature of Sunset Park once again. Indeed, Sunset Park is a prime example of how Brooklyn neighborhoods change ethnically as well as geographically. It was settled by the Irish escaping the potato famine at home around 1845. Then Scandinavians settled in sections that became known as Finntown and Little Norway. Hispanics came to the neighborhood too. And now it is primarily known as the home of Brooklyn’s Chinatown. The neighborhood has Greenwood Heights to its north, Borough Park on the east, Bay Ridge to the south, and the Upper New York Bay to the west. —Norm Goldstein

The Immigrants’ Basilica Another dramatic Sunset Park property is 5424 Fifth Ave., which houses a clothing store called George Michael Suit Outlet. It’s at the intersection of 55th Street. As corner buildings with turrets go, this one’s especially charming. It’s topped by a pointy roof shaped like a witch’s hat. According to a Historic Districts Council posting, J.H. Nadigan designed the Queen Anne-style brick building, which was constructed in 1897. On the south end of Fifth Avenue in Sunset Park, there’s another dazzling sight — the Basilica of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. The granite Romanesque Revival church is located at 526 59th St. The property extends along Fifth Avenue to the corner of 60th Street. The basilica’s construction began in 1907. It was designed by Swissborn Franz Joseph Untersee, who settled in the Boston area and specialized in ecclesiastic architecture.

Eye on FIFTH Come Stroll Fifth Avenue in Bay Ridge Continued from page 16INB When we’re not distracted by bakeries like Jean Danet at 7526 Fifth Ave. or Leske’s at 7612 Fifth Ave., there’s an array of oldfashioned, mixed-use buildings to see.

AVENUE

• A handsome building at 6752 Fifth Ave. on the corner of 68th Street was sold for $2 million last November, Finance Department records show. • There’s a “For Sale” sign on a distinctive building on the corner of Ovington Avenue whose address is 6929 Fifth Ave. The asking price for the oldfashioned house with a groundfloor cafe and two recently gut-renovated apartments is $3.2 million, a posting by Ben Bay Realty listing agent Lucy

BAY RIDGE: HOW IT GOT ITS NAME By Norm Goldstein When Henry Hudson stood on the deck of the “Half Moon” (Halve Moen in Dutch) as he sailed into the harbor more than 400 years ago, he saw Staten Island to his left, and on his right, on top of a ridge on the Brooklyn shore, land that appeared to be in the shape of an owl’s head. Today, the spacious Owl’s Head Park occupies that land above Shore Road in the neighborhood called Bay Ridge in Brooklyn’s southwest. The bay, of course, is what they called the harbor in those early days. The ridge is from the elevation left by the remnants of the last ice age, millions of years ago. The water across to Staten Island now has been spanned by the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, named for the Italian Giovanni da Verrazzano who sailed the route in 1524 on his voyage of discovery. The bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the world when it was completed in 1964. Bay Ridge was originally part of the town of New Utrecht and was known as Yellow Hoek, named by its Dutch settlers for the yellowish clay soil they found there. The Dutch West India Company had bought the land from the local Nyack Indians. But after an outbreak of yellow fever in the mid-19th century, the name was changed to Bay Ridge for its proximity to New York Bay and its glacial ridge, now Ridge Boulevard. Henry C. Murphy, a mayor of the City of Brooklyn, a New York State senator and founder and editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, built his estate along that ridge. The area originally attracted the wealthier residents, but after the 4th Ave. subway line (the R-train) was extended in 1915, it lured many Manhattan workers and it became more of a middleclass neighborhood. South of 86th St. is the section called Fort Hamilton, named for the military base that occupies the southernmost portion of Bay Ridge. The fort was originally called the Narrows, when it was completed in 1831, but later was renamed in honor of Alexander Hamilton. Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson and Abner Doubleday were at some time stationed at Fort Hamilton.

Badwan says. According to Finance Department records, when 6929 Fifth Ave. last changed hands in 2016, the price paid for it was $2.6 million. • Right next door, another distinctive building is also for sale. The asking price is $7.5 million for Hall of Fame Billiards at 505 Ovington Ave., a marketing flyer posted by CPEX Real Estate’s Timothy King and Dimitri Venekas says. The building is 19,000 square feet in size and there are about 8,000 square feet of air rights.

And They Called It Puppy Love

Our favorite commercial signage in Bay Ridge says “Oasis Vision Center” and is painted, along with evocative palm trees, on the side of the building at 7411 Fifth Ave. You can see the classic signage if you stand on the corner of Bay Ridge Parkway and turn and face north. That old Paul Anka song, “Puppy Love,” will come into your head when you get to 91st Street. As you walk south on the west side of Fifth Avenue, you’ll come face to face with larger-than-life canines on a mural. It’s painted on the side wall of Fifth Avenue Veterinary Hospital, whose address is 9102 Fifth Ave.

ABOVE: The exterior of 5424 Fifth Ave. isn’t in perfect shape but it’s such a beautiful building.

SUNSET PARK: HOW IT GOT ITS NAME Dutch settlers acquired portions of Sunset Park from the Canarsee Indians in the 1640s and began farming along the waterfront. Irish immigrants became the first wave of new settlers to the area in the 1840s when they were fleeing the potato famine. They were joined by Polish, Norwegian and Finnish immigrants in the late 1800s when nearly all of the neighborhood’s residential construction occurred. Sunset Park was changed forever when Irving T. Bush purchased oceanfront property and opened Bush Terminal, nicknamed “Bush’s Folly” because few thought it could compete with Manhattan’s ports. Bush’s initial warehouse, single pier, tugboat and old railroad engine paved the way for what became the largely successful 200-acre complex of piers, warehouses, display rooms and factory lofts. Italian dock workers settled in the area for the ample work from the terminal that expanded in 1902. The neighborhood eventually declined by the 1930s and into the 1940s though, when the Third Avenue elevated line halted during

the Depression and the Gowanus Expressway split the area’s industrial section from its residential. After World War II, many older residents moved to the suburbs and their homes were filled with Puerto Rican immigrants eager to work but corruption in the Federal Housing Administration and real-estate and banking industries led to abandonment of homes. In addition, much of the maritime industry began moving to New Jersey at the time. Bush Terminal was renamed Industry City in the 1960s in a revitalization attempt. Then in 1969, the Lutheran Medical Center purchased an abandoned factory from the city for one dollar and spent more than $70 million renovating the property for a center that helped local nonprofit organizations renovate 500 housing units. Sunset Park’s rebound was evident in the 1980s and 1990s when more immigrants from Latin America and Asia moved into the neighborhood. Commercial revival increased when the Brooklyn Army Terminal, which was deactivated in the 1970s, was reopened in 1987 for light industry and bodegas, restaurants and retail stores opened up along the neighborhood blocks. —Norm Goldstein

Former FDNY Chief John Nasta Celebrates 100th Birthday BY JOHN ALEXANDER JALEXANDER@BROOKLYNEAGLE. COM

ne day after the FDNY mourned the loss of its fallen brothers during the 9/11 attacks, members had a reason to celebrate. One of their own, former FDNY Chief John Nasta, celebrated his 100th birthday on Wednesday, Sept. 12 at Sofia Restaurant in Bay Ridge, surrounded by family, friends and members of the FDNY. The smiling Brooklynborn-and-raised centenarian spent 34 years with the FDNY and retired at the rank of battalion chief of FDNY Battalion 40 at Fourth Avenue and 51st Street in Brooklyn. At the time, he was the longest serving fire officer in FDNY history. Nasta started his career with the FDNY in 1942, but after six months he was called to serve in the Navy during World War II. Because he had some training in the Fire Department, he was put in charge of training thousands of Navy recruits in fire safety while stationed in San Diego, before being

Members of the FDNY help former Fire Chief John Nasta celebrate his 100th birthday. sent to serve in Hawaii. When the war ended he returned home to Brooklyn and began his 34-year career in the FDNY.

Nasta’s beloved wife Alice died in 2005. But with the support of his sister Gloria, nieces, nephews and close friends, he still maintains

an active lifestyle. “He goes out to the restaurant every day,” close friend Patricia McLaughlin Hite told this paper. “His normal

meal is linguini and clam sauce and he loves salmon. And he always has a glass of red wine. He also loves his Italian cheesecake, espresso

coffee and once a week he’ll always have his favorite hamburger.” Additionally, Hite said that Nasta enjoys easy-listening and classical music and reads The New York Times every day. And it appears that longevity runs in the family. His sister Gloria Ward, who was by his side to celebrate his birthday, is 91 years young. After a rousing rendition of “Happy Birthday,” Nasta received a lifetime achievement recognition award from the FDNY commissioner’s office. Paul Mannix of the Uniformed Fire Officers Association (UFOA), presented Nasta with a plaque on behalf of the UFOA. “We’re very happy that after the sad and solemn ceremonies yesterday we are able to celebrate a life today, especially a life that has reached 100 years,” Mannix said. “Not only is he a member of the FDNY but he is a member of the greatest generation.” When asked what he attributed his own longevity to, Nasta looked up, smiled and held up his glass of red wine.

Bishop Provenzano of Episcopal Diocese Dedicates Newly Built St. Stephen-St. Martin Church

New Building is Designed For Many Functions And to be a Beacon for The Neighborhood By Francesca Norsen Tate, Religion Editor INBrooklyn

Joy and fanfare filled the streets of Bedford-Stuyvesant on Saturday and the rain held off until after the procession as the congregation of St. Stephen-St. Martin Episcopal Church in Bedford-Stuyvesant, complete with marching band, officially moved from another congregation hosting them to their own brandnew home. Varick A.M.E. Zion Church on Quincy Street had hosted the St. Stephen-St. Martin parish for several years while its church was being constructed. The old St. Stephen’s Church had stood at the corner of Patchen and Jefferson avenues for 147 years before it was demolished, in a condition beyond repair. The procession headed from Quincy Street to the new site, about six blocks away. Leading them was the Elite Marching Band of Queens. The new church, which is the brainchild of architect Shaneekua Henry and her husband Andrew, is described as “a beacon of the message of a resurrected church who meets us at all the intersections of our lives,” according to a brochure. It is also the first Episcopal church building to be constructed during the bishopric of the Rt. Rev. Lawrence Provenzano, bishop of the Diocese of Long Island. While other women clergy were pioneers in becoming the first Episcopal clergy and bishops, Henry is the first African-American woman to design a church in the diocese. The project was developed in partnership with Pericles Notias of Notias Construction of Flushing, N.Y. Henry is a partner in the African-American owned SLM Architecture. The Rev. Canon Audley Donaldson, rector of St. Stephen-St. Martin Church, said, “It is significant that parishioners decided to rebuild the church in Bedford-Stuyvesant, where it has served as a beacon of hope, and succeeded in rebuilding during a difficult economic climate. It is a remarkable achievement by the entire parish.” During the consecration service, Donaldson publicly thanked and honored several staff and parishioners. “This historic service will celebrate this

Tate achievement and the commitment to ministry that the St. Stephen and St. Martin’s community has to the neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant. Their dedication serves as an inspiration to us all as we anticipate a bright future in this exciting and demographically diverse community,” said Provenzano. The new St. Stephen and St. Martin’s Episcopal Church building, located at 789 Jefferson Ave., has a modern theatrical lighting and sound system to enhance the worship experience. A columbarium and garden and a cry room were built into the structure. The purpose of a cry room is a safe-space for worshipers who may find themselves weeping during the liturgy. In many churches, tears are an integral part of healing and restoration. The entire church is “built and consecrated as a multi-functional, multi-cultural, multi-generational sacred space.” Members of the parish are charged to “be in tune with what ails and troubles those on the outside.” The parish’s mission is to minister to the wider community as well.

Coalition of Synagogues Sponsors Annual Intro to Judaism Course

Clergy from around the Episcopal diocese and members of the Lions Club join the procession from Varick A.M.E. Zion Church, which has hosted the congregation during the construction of its new building. The procession headed up Patchen Avenue to Jefferson Avenue, the site of the new church.

Each year, the synagogues around Brooklyn participate in the Introduction to Judaism Course taught by Rabbi Sue Oren. The 20-session course is designed as an exploration for curious adults to discover Judaism from an adult perspective, to become more conﬁdent parents of Jewish children and to explore longstanding questions they haven’t yet asked. NightShul at East Midwood Jewish Center will incorporate the Introduction to Judaism course into its regular seasonal offerings. A weekly class is offered in two sections from 7:30-9:30 p.m. on Wednesdays. The course will also be offered on Sun-

days at the Park Slope Jewish Center. The first session for all participants will take place at East Midwood Jewish Center on Wednesday, Oct. 10. Advance registration is required. For more information, registration and course fee contact Oren at introclass@earthlink.net or 917-539-1334. Course co-sponsors include Beloved, Brooklyn Heights Synagogue, B’ShERT (Beth Shalom v’Emeth Reform Temple), Congregation Mount Sinai, East Midwood Jewish Center, Flatbush Jewish Center, Kane Street Synagogue, Kolot Chayeinu/ Voices of Our Lives, Park Slope Jewish Center and Union Temple.

streetcar is necessary,” Menchaca added. “We know private property owners and other major waterfront developments in North Brooklyn will benefit from the streetcar. The question is whether the public will, or if it will just displace lots of people and businesses who had no need of the streetcar to begin with.” Some Sunset Park residents are glad that their neighborhood is being left out. “I believe it is not because of public response, although that would be nice to believe,” said Tony Giordano, the founder of Sunset Parker Facebook page. “I think it was doomed from the start for two technical reasons - the first the drawbridge over the Gowanus. I think this was the fatal flaw. The second was the narrowing of the commuter vehicle route along Third Avenue [that would have resulted from the streetcar being routed along the strip].

Big ups to POWWA coalition members and to our organizers that are out when it’s hot, when it cold, when it’s raining.” POWWA is the Protect Our Working Waterfront Alliance. The city hopes to generate $30 billion in economic impact from the project, with around $1.4 billion in value capture (which Wikipedia defines as “public financing that recovers some or all of the value that public infrastructure generates for private landowners”) to help finance its construction.

This Week in History ON SEPT. 12, 1947, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported, “St. Louis, Sept. 12 (U.P.) – The Sporting News, national baseball weekly, today named Jackie Robinson, Negro first baseman of the Brooklyn Dodgers, as its choice for ‘Rookie of the Year.’ Publisher J.G. Taylor Spink, author of the story, Jackie Robinson emphasized that Robinson’s Photos courtesy of Wikimedia Commons selection was based solely on his ability as a hitter, runner, fielder and team man. ‘The sociological experiment that Robinson represented,’ Spink wrote, ‘the trail-blazing that he did, the barriers he broke down, do not enter into the decision … Jackie Robinson has done it all in his first year as a major leaguer. What more could anyone ask?”  ON SEPT. 12, 1953, the Eagle reported, “Newport, R.I., Sept. 12 (U.P.) – Senator John F. Kennedy (D., Mass.), once one of the nation’s most eligible bachelors, takes an heiress as his bride here today. Kennedy, son of former Ambassador to Great Britain Joseph P. Kennedy, will John and Jackie Kennedy on wed Jacqueline Lee Bou- their wedding day. Photos courtesy of Wikimedia Commons vier on Newport at 11 a.m. in St. Mary’s Catholic Church. Archbishop Richard J. Cushing of Boston will officiate at the wedding, which caps the social season in this fashionable summer resort. Miss Bouvier, a descendant of prominent Washington and New York banking families, met the tousle-haired Kennedy while working as an inquiring reporter for the Washington-Times Herald. She is 24 and he is 36. Twenty-six attendants will participate in the wedding ceremony, which will be followed by a reception at Miss Bouvier’s Hammersmith Farm home, where she was presented to society in August, 1947.” 

ON SEPT. 13, 1953, the Eagle reported, “Brooklynites took with calm joy last night the second straight winning of the National League pennant by the Dodgers. Although eyes and ears were ‘glued’ to television or radio throughout the borough until the ball plopped into Gil Hodges’ mitt at first base for the final putout of the 5-to-2 victory over the Braves at Milwaukee, Dodger fans settled for some whoops and hugs … Meanwhile, Borough President [John] Cashmore, in a wire to Walter F. O’Malley, the Dodger prexy, at Milwaukee Stadium, outlined plans for a gigantic ‘Brooklyn Dodger Day,” Sept. 22, just before the season’s home windup game at Ebbets Field with the Pittsburgh Pirates. There will be a big procession from Ebbets Field to Borough Hall, where the red welcome carpet will be rolled out.”

Illustration from the Brooklyn Eagle, Sept. 14, 1910

ON SEPT. 14, 1901, the Eagle reported, “Buffalo, N.Y., September 14 – President [William] McKinley died at 15 minutes after 2 o’clock this morning … The last hours of the dying President were deeply touching. In his moments of consciousness he realized his approaching end … While the cabinet officers were in the room, the President was unconscious and thought to be dying. He was rallied to consciousness shortly thereafter and almost the first word was a request that his wife be brought to his side … The parting between this devoted pair was an unwitnessed tragedy. The doctors slipped back into the shadows of the darkened room and hid their faces. Even they, used as they are to distressing scenes, could not keep back the tears. They only saw the President’s face brightening with a smile as he fully clasped his wife’s hand.”  ON SEPT. 14, 1948, the Eagle reported, “Portland, Me., Sept. 14 (U.P.) – Representative Margaret Chase Smith’s smashing majority in winning the first full Senate term ever voted a woman Republican was hailed by G.O.P. leader today as the forerunner of a Dewey-Warren landslide in November. The 49-year-old Mrs. Smith, a one-time telephone operator serving her fifth term in Congress, easily defeated Dr. Adrian H. Margaret Chase Smith Scolten, Democrat, of Portland, yesterday in the nation’s first state election of this presidential year … Mrs. Smith received personal congratulations from Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York in a telephone conversation at her Skowhegan home.” 

Prospect Ho-Sang Starting Over with Islanders DisappoinƟng First-Rounder Looking to Bloom Under New Regime By John Torenli, Sports Editor *UHHQSRLQW *D]HWWH

Josh Ho-Sang entered the Islanders’ organization as a brash, dynamic and somewhat tempestuous prospect when he was selected with the 28th overall pick in the first round of the 2014 NHL Draft. Four years later, the 22-year-old Toronto native is just trying to prove he can play at the NHL level for a full season, a quest that begins in earnest Thursday when the Brooklyn-based franchise officially opens training camp to all its players. Ho-Sang never quite saw eye-to-eye with the Islanders’ previous brain trust, since-departed general manager Garth Snow and head coach Doug Weight. He believes that Hall of Fame GM and Team President Lou Lamoriello and reigning Stanley Cup-winning head coach Barry Trotz will get his best this coming year. “I’m happy with the opportunity to get a fresh start,” Ho-Sang said during rookie camp as the Islanders’ prospects prepared to participate in the annual rookie game against Philadelphia at the Northwell Health Ice Center on Wednesday night. “It’s not just me,” he added. “I think a lot of people are looking to find a way to win and to have success is the most important thing. We’re focused on that as a group.” Going along with the group mentality hasn’t always been easy for Ho-Sang, who has flashed some brilliance on the ice during his 43 games in the NHL over the past two seasons. He wears the No. 66 as a tribute to Hall of Famer Mario Lemieux and has even gone as far as to say he will be as good as the two-time Stanley Cup winner with 690 career goals. On the flip side of that ambitious goal, HoSang overslept for Day One of training camp three years ago, prompting Snow to send him back to juniors immediately thereafter. A hand injury hampered his performance throughout last season as he managed two goals and 10 assists with the Isles before amassing 31 points in 50 games at AHL Bridgeport after Snow once again demoted him to the minors in December. But now, with Lamoriello and Trotz offering a new opportunity to virtually every player in the system, Ho-Sang will likely get his final chance to

stand out as a top-six forward for an organization in dire need of scoring talent following the departure of team captain John Tavares to Toronto. “It’s all been positive,” Ho-Sang said of his relationship with the Isles’ new on-and-off-the-ice leaders. “Every conversation I’ve had with them since the moment that they became a part of this organization has just been teaching,” he added. “I’m taking everything they say and implementing it into my daily routines, on-ice routines at the rink, everything and it’s a work in progress, but I’m working really hard.” Entering the final year on his original rookie deal, Ho-Sang has no choice but to put his best skate forward as the Isles prepare for their first season without Tavares since he was selected first overall in the 2009 draft. Trotz, fresh off guiding the Washington Capitals to their first-ever NHL title, has every intention of giving Ho-Sang a fair and honest assessment of his skills going forward. “I spent some time with him just sitting, just talking how he sees the game, how he sees life, how he sees himself,” Trotz told Newsday. “He has a tremendous amount of talent. With Josh, the No. 1 thing is to understand the whole thing of being a pro in every aspect. It’s the whole package.” While playing in a rookie game with players just entering the league going into his fourth year is hardly what Ho-Sang predicted when he first donned the Orange and Blue, the former top prospect has been showing up to skates early and leaving late. He also has learned quite a bit from the humbling experiences he has endured over the previous three campaigns in the organization. “I had to become stronger last year mentally, and for me it was a great learning experience,” HoSang admitted. “I’ve never had a year like I did last year and it’s not even to do with hockey, it was just a hard year for me. I feel happy and healthier and I’m excited for the year.” Ho-Sang’s AHL coach, Brent Thompson, who spearheaded the team’s rookie camp, also believes this former can’t-miss player is finally ready to assume a key role for the Isles going forward.

Franklin “He was working, he was competing, asking questions and engaged,” Thompson noted. “He’s maturing every year, and this is another step. He’s coming in, he’s a little bit older. The experience he’s gone through, hopefully he takes that and learns from it and moves forward.” Moving back at this point would probably derail any hope Ho-Sang has of hanging on with the Isles this season. So, the team will get his best before, and he hopes, after the Isles announce their Opening Night roster for the ﬁrst game of the season at Carolina on Oct. 4.

“You get to see everyone who is chasing you and you really want to get on that NHL team because these guys are hungry,” Ho-Sang noted. While there’s no questioning Ho-Sang’s talent with the puck on his stick, it’s the other aspects of his game, namely checking and defense, that have kept him from assuming a full-time role on the roster. “If he gets that, the sky is the limit for him,” Thompson told the team’s website earlier this week. “I think he has a good opportunity here for him this year. With Barry and the staff they have and the players they’ve worked with, it’s a clean slate and everybody is moving forward.”

Selected in the ﬁrst round of the 2014 NHL DraŌ, Josh Ho-Sang has yet to prove himself in the Islanders’ organizaƟon, a percepƟon he hopes to change in 2018-19 under the team’s AP photo by MaƩ Slocum new leadership regime.

While the correct annswer is No. 2, you get partial ti l credit dit ffor the th oth th hers too. In h t I fact, f t itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a der, Jordan Silbert, that question from the found y, namely: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why led to the launch of the company canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t my tonic water be as a good as my gin?â&#x20AC;? After making that rh hetorical query, Silbert VWDUWHG XS D FRPSDQ\ WKDW QRZ RŕľľHUV D OLQH RI seven products, has 39 employees, and boasts the fastest-growing prem mium-mixer brand in the U.S. 1H[W TXHVWLRQ :KDW PDNHV 4 'ULQNV GLŕľľHUent? Turns u out the pheno omenon is driven by the founder â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own taste budss, with a bit of food science thrown in. in His reciipes derive from â&#x20AC;&#x153;what whatever tastes best,â&#x20AC;? he told The Bridge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It needs to be 100% better than whaatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out there, otherwise nobodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to drink it.â&#x20AC;? The idea for Silbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company emerged in 2002 on a summer nightt in Fort Greene, where Silbert, then an executiive at the Alliance for Downtown New York, o was w having drinks in his backyard with friends. A soft breeze was blowing and the walls were decked d with fairy lights. Their drink of choice waas gin and tonic. The gin was Taanqueray, the favo ored brand of Silbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beloved grandmother. ough, something interBefore too long, tho rupted Silbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bliss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A A couple of drinks in, my teeth started getting sticcky y,,â&#x20AC;? he recalls. Silbert then checked the label off the tonic water, by then DOPRVW Ă&#x20AC;DW ZKLFK FRQWDLQHG KLJK IUXFWRVH FRUQ syrup and the preservativ ve sodium benzoate. He cross-checked it with a nearby bottle of Sprite, realizing that the tonic water w and Sprite had essentially the same ingreedients. His friends dismissed his rant, but he diid not. 6LOEHUW WULHG WR ÂżQG D VROXWLRQ $IWHU EX\LQJ p g in qquinine bark online,, he sstarted experimenting his kitchen. His roommaate at the time was not too happy about the mess, equating Silbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experiments to a makeshifft meth lab. But Silbert eventually nailed a form mula, and would delight his friends with homemaade G&Ts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was sharp, crisp and clean, but the bubbles b were driving me QXWV EHFDXVH JLQ DQG WRQLF QHHGV WR EH Âż]]\ Â´ KH said. Silbert soon realized that, in order to take his venture to the next level,, he needed an industrial facility to bottle the beveerage, and he found one in Western e Massachusettts. The tinkering phase lasted a few years. In 2006, he introduced himself to the foodie forum eGullet, asking users if they wanted to try his tonic water. Whether he knew it at the time or not, he nailed the zeitgeist, as it was the dawn of the mixology movement. Mixologist Jim Meehan, then the bartender of Gramercy Taavern â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he would later open the popular PDT â&#x20AC;&#x201D; asked Silbert to bring some of his tonic water to Gramercy Tavern a for a taste test, and put in an order. Likewise, the founder of Milk & Honey had contacted him as well, asking him to deliver affter close, meaning after 2:30 2 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I borrowed a FDU , GHOLYHUHG P\ ÂżUVW FDVHV DW 0LON +RQH\ and he paid me cash at th he registerr,,â&#x20AC;? recalled Silbert.

The logic of the sales pitch is a quesstion as well: Why mix your super-premium liquoor with a low-end mixer, when that beverage m makes up three-quarters of your cocktail? In a spot check at a Union U Market store in &REEOH +LOO WKH SULFH RI D PO R] ERWtle of Q Drinks tonic waater was $6.99.

He thinks the market for premium m mixers has considerable room for growth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;T There are better mixers out now than there were 10 years ago.
