Real estate development firm Two Trees Management announced on Wednesday that Domino Park is on track to open next summer. The quarter‐mile‐long green space will run along the Williamsburg waterfront in front of the landmarked Domino Rendering by MIR Sugar Refinery.

State Assemblymember Joe Lentol was walking out of the state Capitol in Albany one day when a woman came up to him and gave him a big hug.

“Thank you for saving my son’s life,” she told him. The brief encounter made him cry. continued on inside cover

Lentol Reveals How He Got ‘Raise the Age’ Passed continued from p. 1

It turned out that the woman had a teenage son who had been in trouble with the law. She hugged Lentol, the leader of the Assembly’s Brooklyn delegation, to express her undying gratitude to him for his successful effort in getting the State Legislature to pass a bill to keep the cases of young offenders in Family Court rather than Criminal Court.

“It’s not often that you pass a bill and get a reaction like that,” Lentol (D-North Brooklyn) told the Greenpoint Gazette over a meal at Peter Luger’s in the Williamsburg section of his district.

Lentol’s bill, called “Raise the Age,” literally raises the age in which most young criminal suspects will be tried as adults from 16 to 18.

The bill was passed by both the state Assembly and state Senate on April 9 and was signed into law by Gov. Andrew

Cuomo. The law will take effect in 2018. Thanks to the new law, young offenders will no longer automatically be sent to Criminal Court.

“This has been the most satisfying legislative session I’ve ever had and it’s because of this bill,” Lentol told the Gazette.

Up until now, New York and North Carolina were the only two states in the country that treated 16- and 17-year-old offenders as adults in the criminal justice system.

For Lentol, getting the “Raise the Age” bill to Cuomo’s desk took 12 long years.

His effort included writing and then rewriting the legislation, gathering input from legal experts, engaging in delicate negotiations with Republican members of the state Senate and at the 11th hour, consulting a dictionary.

Under “Raise the Age,” most 16- and 17-year-old suspects will be handled in Family Court, not Criminal Court.

To handle teens charged with certain crimes, the new law establishes a “Youth Part” within the Criminal Court system in which judges with specialized training in Family Court will hear the cases.

A teenage suspect’s case will be sent to Family Court after 30 days unless a district attorney is able to convince a judge that “extraordinary circumstances” exist to compel action in Criminal Court.

By raising the age and sending kids to Family Court instead of Criminal Court, the state is still cracking down on offenders, Lentol said. “It doesn’t mean you don’t get punished,” he told the Gazette.

Lentol’s advocacy of “Raise the Age” began back in 2005 when he was approached by Hon. Michael Corriero, a judge in the New York State Court of Claims, who suggested that he investigate the possibility of raising the legal definition of young offender from 16 to 18.

Lentol and Corriero had

known each other for many years. “We went to law school together,” Lentol said.

During his career behind the bench, Corriero presided over many youth offender cases.

Lentol remembered his old friend telling him, “The system is unfair.”

Young offenders were winding up in jail next to hardened criminals. Instead of becoming rehabilitated, the kids learned how to commit more crimes, Lentol said.

Using the example of a boy who is one day shy of his 16th birthday, Lentol said that if the boy commits a crime, he is considered a young offender and is sent to Family Court because, technically, he is 15 years old.

But if that same boy committed a crime on his 16th birthday, he was considered an adult, wound up in Criminal Court and was possibly shipped to Rikers Island.

“And you’re talking about a difference of one day,” Lentol said.

The more Lentol looked into it, the more he was convinced raising the age was right.

He found a flurry of statistics to back up his beliefs.

According to a brain development study conducted by the MacArthur Foundation Research Network, the human brain is not fully formed until the age of 25. The study also found that adolescent behavior is often impulsive.

Lentol had a plainspoken explanation for the data. “The science says they’re still kids,” he said.

Another statistic states that each year, nearly 28,000 16- and 17-year-olds in New York state are arrested, according to the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services. The

vast majority, 72 percent, are arrested for misdemeanors.

Young people whose cases wind up in Criminal Court are 34 percent more likely to be rearrested than youths processed through the Family Court, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

In 2011, the issue of young offenders in Criminal Court began to catch on.

That year, Hon. Jonathan Lippman, of the New York State Court of Appeals, delivered a speech to the Citizens Crime Commission at Fordham University about the issue. The commission is run by Richard Aborn and Lippman’s speech, along with the advocacy of Corriero and Aborn, brought the issue to the forefront. continued on inside back

Only in Brooklyn: 5th Annual Hot Sauce Expo Lands in Greenpoint

By Scott Enman

Greenpoint Gazette

Ohio‐based company CAJohn’s showcases its array of Firehouse sauces and multiple expo awards.

As the great Donna Summer once said, "I need some hot stuff, baby, tonight.”

And that’s exactly what thousands of Brooklynites got at the annual Hot Sauce Expo this past weekend in Greenpoint.

Entering its fifth year, the festival showcases the world’s best and spiciest creations from well-known brands like Tabasco to lesserknown homemade sauces.

“This is a way for artisan hot-sauce makers to get their product out there so people realize that their only options are not Franks, Tabasco or Sriracha,” said Merle Mortenson, chilimaster of Hellfire Hot Sauce in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.

“There are other options out there that will actually blow away the stuff you can get at the grocery store for $1.50 or $2 a bottle. It’s real artisan, gourmet stuff.”

Festivalgoers were able to sample complimentary hot sauces placed on crackers and chips. More daring guests took shots of the fiery red liquid.

More than 50 concoctions from across the globe were on display from Australia, Canada, England, New Zealand and South America.

Over the course of the weekend, there were a host of unique competitions and events.

On Saturday, attendees were treated to The Spicy Bagel of DOOM Challenge, the Margarita Mix-Down, the Chicken Wing Challenge and the Pizza of Hell Challenge.

Sunday’s events included the Spicy Meatballs contest, The Slaytanic Burrito Challenge, the Chihuahua Beauty Pageant, the Bloody Mary Mix-Down National Championship and the most anticipated event, the Guinness Book of Records Carolina Reaper Pepper Eating Contest.

“A lot of people don’t know about this stuff,” Mortenson told the Greenpoint Gazette. “A lot of people don’t know what’s the hottest pepper. A lot of people still think it’s the habanero or the ghost pepper.

“Hot sauce is a health fad.

It’s healthy, it’s good for you and that’s another thing people are starting to realize.”

To combat the intense heat, craft beer, margaritas and mixed drinks were available.

But no beverage could better ameliorate the crippling pain that many attendees felt in their mouths and stomachs than milk, which was provided by Farmland Fresh Dairies.

The company served milk cartons and frothy concoctions consisting of milk and whipped cream.

“One guy came up to me later and said, ‘Man, you saved me!’ Our juice put a nice coating on their stomachs to cut the spice,” said JD Altobello, an employee for the New Haven, Connecticutbased juice company Ripe. continued on p. 5

To complement the fiery hot sauces, spicy tacos, ribs and wings were served.

“We came up here to support some of our customers that we bottle our hot sauce for,” said Scott Martin, a hot sauce bottler from Saint Augustine, Florida. “It brings people in from all over the world now, internationally, to one spot so we can show our wares and make it more aware to the public of what we’re doing.”

Participants were also able to converse with the artisans, learn how to make hot sauce and how to create blends with the perfect amount of heat and flavor.

Some of the hottest sauces, not even on the market yet, were given to the most ambitious visitors.

Asked what they liked most about Brooklyn, Martin said, “I love the mixture of people. I just love it. I went to a bar last night and it had people from all over the world, all kinds of people. So that’s what I like the most.”

“The artwork, man. The graffiti,” Mortenson added with a smile. “It’s the coolest damn thing. Oh, and the pizza, I got to say.”

Queens resident Sergio Golamez and his dogs Renzo and Yeyushi won first place in the Chihuahua Beauty Pageant.

Developer Releases Big Plans for Domino Park in Williamsburg continued from p. 1

“By opening Domino Park in its entirety next summer — ahead of the site’s new waterfront buildings — we are delivering on our commitment to bring waterfront access and much-needed public park space to North Brooklyn,” said Two Trees CEO Jed Walentas.

“Weaving in industrial remnants of the factory, Domino Park will serve as a living, breathing reminder of the history of this storied neighborhood.”

Architecture firm James Corner Field Operations — one of the principal architects on the High Line in Manhattan — is leading design work on the park.

Other notable projects for the company include the Dock Street Roof Terrace in DUMBO, the South Street Seaport and Greenpoint Landing.

Greenpoint Landing is a half-mile walkway along the East River on the northernmost section of Greenpoint.

The project is one of the first waterfront projects to deal with post-Superstorm Sandy regulations for developments in flood hazard areas.

What is unique about Domino Park is that the common will preserve Brooklyn’s industrial past by repurposing and preserving relics of the factory.

“We were deeply inspired by community input and the site’s rich history when creating Domino Park,” said James Corner Field Operations Senior Principal Lisa Switkin.

“The design of Domino Park aims to create a space that will revitalize the beauty of New York City’s incredible waterfront and foster interest in

the history of the site and the surrounding neighborhood.”

The space will feature a five-block-long “Artifact Walk” that will be adorned with original gantry cranes, syrup tanks, screw conveyors, mooring bollards, bucket elevators, various dials and meters and other historical remnants from the factory.

The 450-foot-long elevated walkway will run along the footprint of the warehouse where the factory’s sugar was originally stored.

That space also served as the site for Kara Walker’s 2014 pop-up “A Subtlety or the Marvelous Sugar Baby,” a 35-foothigh sphinxlike sculpture made out of four tons of sugar.

The inspiration for the Artifact Walk came from the original complex of buildings being connected by catwalks.

The park will also preserve 21 raw sugar warehouse columns, roughly 585 linear feet of crane tracks and more than 30 industrial artifacts.

The esplanade will feature sports fields, lawns, gardens, seating and a children’s play area.

In addition, there will be easier access to the waterfront as River Street, which currently ends at Grand Street, will be extended to South Fifth Street.

The landmarked Domino Sugar Refinery building will be converted into a 380,000square-foot office campus.

Two Trees will preserve the historic facade and quintessential Brooklyn “Domino Sugar” sign, which has indelibly marked the neighborhood.

Other Brooklyn parks have also salvaged historic elements of the borough’s industrial past.

The “Kentile Floors” sign, which once towered over Gowanus, was donated to the neighborhood nonprofit Gowanus Alliance after the building below the sign was bought.

The Gowanus Alliance hopes to install the letters from the sign in the Fran Brady Under the Tracks Playground on 10th Street between 2nd and 3rd avenues.

The park was closed in the

late ’90s by the MTA, but there are plans to reopen it with new seating, greenery and basketball courts. The letters from the famed sign will be placed on 10-foot-high planters.

In addition, Brooklyn

Bridge Park’s Tidal Marsh at John Street next to the Manhattan Bridge was created with footings of industrial buildings and original Belgian block and railroad tracks from the Jay Street Plaza.

Domino Park, designed by architecture firm James Corner Field Operations, will maintain Brooklyn’s industrial past Renderings by MIR by repurposing and preserving historical pieces and mechanical remnants of the factory.

The esplanade will feature sports fields, lawns, gardens, seating and a children’s play area.

Lentol Reveals How He Got ‘Raise the Age’ Passed continued from inside cover

In 2013, Lippman again discussed the Raise the Age issue in his State of the Judiciary Address.

Meanwhile, Lentol had made repeated attempts over the years to get his legislation passed. But his fellow legislators always raised objections.

In 2014, Cuomo issued an

executive order to establish the Commission on Youth, Public Safety and Justice, which was charged with the task of developing a plan to raise the age of juvenile jurisdiction. The commission issued its report in 2015.

Finally this year, the picture started to brighten for Lentol, in part because Cuomo made it clear he wanted legislation.

“The governor wanted to get a bill badly,” Lentol said.

In addition, Lentol had an important ally in Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie (DBronx). “Carl Heastie had the foresight to get it done,” Lentol said. “He demanded that this be negotiated in the budget.”

The negotiations began in earnest. Lentol and two of his colleagues, Assemblymembers

Jeffrion Aubry (D-Queens) and Phil Ramos (D-Brentwood), sat in a room with GOP state senators to hammer out a deal.

The negotiations were unusual because only the assemblymembers and senators attended.

No staff members were present.

Assemblymember Helene Weinstein (D-Sheepshead BayFlatlands), chairperson of the Assembly’s Judiciary Committee,

came to a few of the sessions.

Members of the Senate’s Independent Democratic Conference were also part of the negotiations.

After much haggling, it was agreed that a young offender’s case could be sent to Criminal Court under any one of three conditions: 1) If there is use of a weapon, 2) If it is a sex crime and 3) If the crime results in significant physical injury to the victim.

The last point was a source of disagreement between Lentol and the GOP senators.

The Republicans wanted any physical injury, even a bloody nose, to count as a significant injury and push the case into Criminal Court.

The lawmakers disagreed over the definition of significant injury. “We had to get the dictionary out,” Lentol said.

After cracking open the dictionary, they agreed that significant injury meant more than just a bloody nose.

“We got it done,” Lentol said.

New Novel Examines Coming of Age in Irishtown, Brooklyn Brooklyn Eagle In 1916, Ireland — fighting for its independence — erupts with the Easter Rising. The fate of Liam Garrity’s father, an Irish rebel, is unknown, which leaves his mother and two sisters vulnerable on the family farm as British troops swarm, seeking reprisals. Garrity must organize their departure to New York immediately. In Brooklyn, Garrity is adopted by Dinny Meehan, leader of a longshoremen gang based in an “Irishtown” saloon under the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges. Meehan vows to help Garrity and his family. But just as Ireland struggles for independence, Garrity faces great obstacles in his own coming of age on the violent Brooklyn waterfront. World War I, the Spanish Influenza, the temperance movement, the rise of Italian organized crime, police, unions and shipping and dock companies all target the Brooklyn Irish gang and threaten Garrity’s chances at bringing his family to New York. When “Wild Bill” Lovett, one of the gang’s dock bosses vies to take over, both Meehan and Garrity face a fight for survival in New York City’s brawling streets mirroring Ireland’s own fledgling independence movement.

Eamon Loingsigh has long held a great fascination for the history of Irish-Americans in Brooklyn. Reminiscent of “Gangs of New York” and “Brooklyn” but uniquely Loingsigh, “Exile on Bridge Street” tells the compelling story of the American-Irish struggle and reveals the forgotten world of old Irishtown.

‘Fight Back Bay Ridge’ Leaders Hope Town Hall Is Springboard

The town hall’s organizers opened the floor to questions from the audience.

By Paula Katinas Brooklyn Eagle

Leaders of a grass-roots organization formed in the wake of Donald Trump’s election said they are hoping that a town hall they held on April 19 that drew hundreds of people can serve as a springboard to more political activity by those looking to resist the president’s aggressive agenda.

Fight Back Bay Ridge, founded by the mother and daughter team of Sally and Mallory McMahon, held a town hall at the Bay Ridge Manor at 476 76th St. that featured a panel of experts on housing, immigration, health care, education and the environment taking questions from the audience.

More than 200 people packed the Manor’s main ballroom for the meeting.

“I am very encouraged by this,” Fight Back Bay Ridge mem-

ber Rebecca Goldberg told the Brooklyn Eagle on April 21.

Goldberg and Sally McMahon served as the moderators at the town hall.

“I think we gave people an outlet for hope,” said Goldberg, who added that the group’s leaders are hoping that the town hall could serve as a springboard for more residents to become involved in local politics.

The panelists included Jennifer Durkin, a partner in Durkin & Puri, LLP; Rachel Fee, executive director of the New York Housing Conference; Ally Hack, a board member of The Association of Muslim-American Lawyers; Mark Hannay, director of Metro New York Healthcare; Danielle CastaldiMicca, director of governmental and political affairs for the National Institute for Reproductive Health; Kit Kennedy, director of the Energy and Transportation Program at the Natural

Fight Back Bay Ridge invited experts on several subjects, including housing, education and health care, to speak at the town hall.

Resources Defense Council; Tori Lyon, CEO of The Jericho Project; Zakiyah Shaakir-Ansari, advocacy director of New York State Alliance for Quality Education; and Andrea Shapiro, program coordinator for the Metropolitan Council on Housing.

The audience members were active and engaged, Goldberg said.

While the town hall was originally planned as a protest against U.S. Rep. Dan Donovan (R-C-Southwest BrooklynStaten Island) for his refusal to hold an in-person town hall in Brooklyn, and despite the fact that the organizers placed an empty chair on the dais to represent the absent lawmaker, the event did not have an angry tone to it, according to Goldberg.

“There was a lot of positive energy in the room. We really wanted it to be positive and we wanted it to be a forum for conversation,” she told the Eagle.

Fight Back Bay Ridge invited Donovan to come and speak but he declined the invitation, according to the congressman’s office.

Mallory McMahon told the Eagle in a recent interview that holding a town hall and engaging constituents in person is part of a congress member’s job and that if Donovan refused to hold one, “then we’ll do his job for him.”

Trump’s immigration ban, his failed effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and his successful effort to get conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch confirmed to the Supreme Court are all sources of deep concern to many people in Donovan’s congressional district, she said.

Patrick Ryan, Donovan’s spokesman, said the invitation was declined because Donovan questioned the organizers’ motivation.

“Their goal is to create a media and fundraising spectacle instead of engaging in substantive conversations,” Ryan told the Eagle.

“The fact is, Congressman Donovan has and will continue to meet with every single person who requests a meeting. He’s met with the founders and members of Fight Back Bay Ridge, as well as other progressive Brooklyn and Staten Island organizations. He’s hosting conference calls that go out to 50,000 households,” Ryan said.

“We were really hoping Donovan would join us, especially since we were coming off the AHCA,” Goldberg said, referring to Donovan’s opposition to the American Health Care Act (AHCA), the Republican-led bill to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.

The bill never came up for a vote because it was pulled by House Speaker Paul Ryan when it became clear it did not have enough votes to pass.

Fight Back Bay Ridge opposed the AHCA, putting the group on the same side as Donovan on the issue.

The Watchtower has deactivated a tunnel connecting 124 Columbia Heights (the building at left) and 107 Columbia Heights (the building in the center of above picture).

Jehovah’s Witnesses Start Closing Their B’klyn Heights Tunnels Underground Passageways Connect Prime Watchtower Properties

By Lore Croghan Brooklyn Eagle

The Watchtower, which has sold off many of its Brooklyn Heights properties, is starting to shut down the tunnels that connect them.

Last week, the Jehovah’s Witnesses deactivated one of the tunnels that connect their big Brooklyn Heights residential buildings by filling it with concrete.

The Watchtower’s pedestrian passageways form an underground network extending from 124 Columbia Heights, which overlooks the Promenade, to The Towers, a former hotel on the corner of Clark and Willow streets.

The Watchtower closed off part of this underground network on Monday, April 17.

Andrew Porter, who has lived in Brooklyn Heights since 1968, saw a truck outside 124 Columbia Heights pouring concrete into the tunnel “through a raised access hatch” that day, he told the Brooklyn Eagle.

The concrete-filled tunnel stretches between 124 Columbia Heights and 107 Columbia Heights, which is a gated 11story residential property with a landscaped courtyard.

City Department of Transportation permits indicate that both a concrete truck and “cellular concrete” pumping equipment were needed for the tunnel deactivation.

Cellular concrete, which is also called Foamcrete, is a lightweight cement-based material with lots of gas bubbles in it.

According to the Transportation Department permits, the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York was in charge of the job.

This makes sense — although the Jehovah’s Witnesses sold 124 Columbia Heights last year.

According to a 2009 revocable consent agreement between the Department of Transportation and the Watchtower, the religious organization is responsible for deactivating the tunnel and paying for the work.

INSET: The building at left is 124 Columbia Heights, which the Watchtower sold last year to Florida Panthers owner Vincent Viola.

The tunnel connecting 124 Columbia Heights and 107 Columbia Heights was built in 1959, the consent agreement indicates.

What’s Up With the Other Tunnels?

The Watchtower tunnels have been a perennial source of fas-

cination to people who aren’t Jehovah’s Witnesses.

The tunnels enabled the religious organization’s workers to carry food and laundry between different buildings without having to step outdoors, a 1990 Philadelphia Inquirer story says.

Also, workers used them to move “various commodities that we need to keep the buildings in good maintenance and good repair,” Robert Alexander, a spokesman for the Jehovah’s Witnesses, told NY1 in 2006.

Alexander also told NY1 at that time that the existence of the tunnels is “a great benefit to our neighbors living in Brooklyn Heights because then it leaves more of the sidewalks and streets

free and clear for them to use.”

The Eagle has asked the Watchtower when its other tunnels will be deactivated. We will publish an online update at brooklyneagle.com if we receive an informative response.

The tunnels’ locations are pinpointed in consent agreements between the group and the Transportation Department and the city Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications.

• One tunnel runs beneath Orange Street and connects 107 Columbia Heights and 97 Columbia Heights.

Eleven-story 97 Columbia Heights is currently up for sale. This residential building was constructed on the site of the Hotel Margaret, which was destroyed by a fire in 1980 while developer Ian Bruce Eichner was converting it into a co-op building.

By the way, because of a 1988 restrictive covenant signed by the Watchtower, if the religious group sells 97 Columbia Heights or 107 Columbia Heights, it will be responsible for rebuilding an Orange Street sewer line that was removed during the construction of the tunnel between the two buildings.

• Another tunnel runs beneath Columbia Heights between Viola’s building, 124 Columbia Heights, and 119 Columbia Heights, a residential building the Watchtower finished constructing in 1970. The Jehovah’s Witnesses have not put 119 Columbia Heights onto the sale market.

• Yet another tunnel runs beneath Willow Street and connects 119 Columbia Heights and The Towers, a former hotel whose address is 21 Clark St. The Clark Street building, which has distinctive Venetianstyle towers on its four corners, is up for sale.

Watchtower Properties Sold To Jared Kushner and Vincent Viola The Watchtower, which had a major presence in Brooklyn Heights for more than a century, has been selling off its local real estate because it relocated its world headquarters to Warwick in upstate New York.

The religious organization has sold numerous Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO properties to the Kushner Cos., which Jared Kushner headed until he stepped aside to serve as senior adviser to his father-in-law, President Donald Trump.

that says “Watchtower” on it.

In DUMBO, Kushner Cos. and its investment partners paid $345 million for 85 Jay St., a parking lot with about 1 million square feet of development rights. And the company and its investment partners paid $375 million for a complex with former Bible-printing plants on Prospect, Adams, Sands and Pearl streets that it has turned into a techie-friendly office campus called DUMBO Heights.

As for 124 Columbia Heights, a 10-story, 152,000-square-foot residential building, the purchaser was billionaire Vincent Viola.

He paid $105 million through Eastern Division LLC, city Finance Department records show. His wife, Teresa Viola, is the president of that LLC, the records indicate.

Vincent Viola owns the Florida Panthers hockey team and is a West Point grad. He was President Trump’s nominee for Secretary of the Army, but withdrew from consideration for the position in February because it would have been hard to separate himself from his businesses.

The Jehovah’s Witnesses have lined up a buyer for the property at the other end of the cement-filled tunnel, 107 Columbia Heights.

In February, Clipper Realty Inc. announced it had agreed to buy the 161-unit residential building for $87.5 million. The head of the publicly traded company is David Bistricer.

In 2012, another company Bistricer heads, Clipper Equity, and the Chetrit Group purchased another prime Brooklyn Heights property, the Hotel Bossert, from the Watchtower for $81 million.

Iconic Coney Island Restaurant Hosts Family Reunion Gargiulo’s Owners Gather for Milestone Celebration

By John Alexander Brooklyn Eagle

Brooklyn’s famous Gargiulo’s Restaurant at 2911 West 15th St., Coney Island, celebrated a milestone on Sunday, April 23, as generations of family members — children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and cousins — traveled from all across the country to Coney Island for the gathering.

Gargiulo’s, one of New York’s oldest restaurants, was established in 1907 by the Gargiulo family. It was originally operated by Gus Gargiulo, who was later joined by his brother Louis and sisters Tessie and Angelina, along with other family members.

Throughout the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s, the Gargiulo’s Grand Ballroom hosted numerous weddings and other social functions.

But the story actually begins earlier, between 1879 and 1906, when husband and wife Aniello Mastellone and Teresa Esposito of Meta and Piano di Sorrento, Italy had 14 children, 13 of whom lived to adulthood. Ten of those children migrated to Coney Island in 1900. Their descendants comprised the majority of attendees at Sunday’s reunion.

Two Mastellone sisters, Assunta and Rachele, married two Aiello brothers and Frank Mastellone married an Aiello sister. “My greatgrandparents were Frank Mastellone and Maria Aiello,” explained Al Jacobsen. “They are most well-known for owning an Italian deli in Bensonhurst on 18th Avenue and 86th Street.”

The Aiello side of the family is famous in its own right. According to Jacobsen, one of the Aiello siblings that immigrated to the U.S. was Rose Aiello. She married a man named Joseph Pollio, aka Guiseppe Pollio. The story goes that in 1899 they started a cheese business in Brooklyn called Pollio Cheese. However, because of the outbreak of the polio disease, it was ultimately changed to Polly-O. The company was bought by Kraft Foods in 1986.

And then it became a tale of two families as the Russos married into the Mastellone family. In fact, two Russo brothers married Mastellone women. Victor married Teresa Mastellone and Giacomo (Nino) married Teresa’s first cousin Teresa “Tina” Aiello in 1956.

“At Nino and Tina’s wedding, Nino introduced his younger brother Victor Russo to Tina’s first cousin Theresa Mastellone, daughter of Michele [Mike] Mastellone and co-owner of Mastellone Brother’s Salumeria on Union Street,” explained Rachael Russo.

In June 1965, the Russo brothers (Michael, Victor and Nino) acquired the restaurant from the Gargiulo family. The Russo family, like the Gargiulo family, came from Sorrento, Italy and chose to keep the Gargiulo name.

Victor and Teresa Mastellone had five children, Louis, Rachael, Mike, Nino and Anthony Russo, who currently run the business. Nino, is named after his uncle.

Teresa Masters, a first cousin of the two Teresas on the Mastellone side, is among the first-born generation in America. Masters, who traveled from her home in California to attend the reunion, recalled, “I made a trip last June to visit every first cousin I could. Two have since died, including the mother of the Gargiulo’s owners.”

“It was such a memorable event.

Cousins got to meet cousins that they’d only heard stories about,” said Joni Mac Lellan Staiano, a Russo cousin. “Sixty-five people turned out and a great time was had by all.”

“I spend so much time studying my deceased ancestors that it is easy to overlook the extended family still very much alive today,” Jacobsen added. “The reunion provided such an amazing opportunity to connect with these special loved ones.

“I met [my] cousin [who was the] priest that married my parents almost 40 years ago, I met first cousins of my grandmother who knew her as ‘Tessie’ and I learned that there were two fellow students I went to high school with in Rockland County that were actually my third cousins. What a fantastic day this was!”

Former Lumber Yard Now A World-Class Beer Hall Kings Beer Hall Is Edgy, International Like Brooklyn Is Today

By John Alexander INBrooklyn

Fans have long beaten a path from Barclays Center to visit the Kings Beer Hall (KBH) at 84 Saint Marks Place in Park Slope, the best-hidden international beer hall in Brooklyn!

KBH’s location was originally a family-run lumber yard that was converted into a German beer hall in 2012. At the time, it only carried German beers. Eventually it transformed into an international beer hall with a rustic feel and soaring ceilings, carrying over 30 rotating beers from around the world. Some of the most beers they serve are Krombacher Pilsner, Ballast Point Sculpin, Founders All Day IPA and Schofferhoffer.

According to KBH owner Marquis Williams, “KBH is international and edgy, just as Brooklyn is today. Thus, we now carry great drinks and food from all around the world.”

The name Kings Beer Hall derives from its location in Kings County and the large, king-sized theme of the place.

Williams believes that it is his duty as a small business owner to support local groups and organizations such as the Park Slope Parents Association and the Park Slope United Soccer League.

“With its 4,000-square-foot space in Downtown Brooklyn’s Park Slope neighborhood, KBH is the perfect spot for dining,

drinking, playing and hanging out with friends, lovers, neighbors and strangers,” said Williams. “Customers are encouraged to mix and mingle in the large open space or seated at the wooden picnic tables. Unlike many other NYC spots, we can quickly accommodate parties of 20, 30 or 50 people. And we can accommodate much larger groups with advanced notice and planning.”

Additionally, the hall has games and activities that foster interaction with others. For the small intimate groups, it has board games like Cards Against Humanity, Monopoly, Sequence, or Uno, to name a few. For the larger socializing groups, it has Trivia Night, Giant Jenga, Bubble Hockey and Beer Pong and it is always adding more games and events.

And KBH is kid-friendly during the day, because it knows that many of its patrons have families and want to spend time with them while enjoying good food, drinks and fun.

When asked about some interesting anecdotes from the bar, or any famous people who have frequented KBH, Williams said, “I could tell you about some of these events … but then I’d have to wipe out your memory.”

Kings Beer Hall offers 30 rotating beers on tap from around the world.

Continued from page 2INB However, he did let slip that large groups love using KBH as a home base or meeting spot. During the NCAA basketball tournaments at Barclays, which is located four short blocks away, KBH hosted alumni fans of Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), Notre Dame and other teams who brought their entire marching bands and pep squads with them, because they knew that KBH could accommodate them.

Besides only being four blocks away from Barclays, KBH is also the largest space in the area. You’re sure to run into other Islanders fans or Streisand concertgoers.

According to Williams, “We create a fun energy at KBH before events, as the buzz and excitement of seeing a show builds.

With quick and delicious food options, plenty of space to hang out and a great happy hour, where else would you want to be?”

Williams was born in Texas but has lived all over the country

and in Europe (Rotterdam and Prague). However, he has called Brooklyn home since 1998. He has worked at big companies and small but has always had a love of beer. So when the opportunity came, he decided to focus on building and growing a place that serves great beer, drinks and food, with a fun environment that everyone could enjoy.

According to Williams, “Out-of-town friends come to visit me in New York and say, ‘Wow! You have such a small apartment and you can’t fit anyone in your living room.’ My response is, ‘In your part of the world, you invite people to your home and into your living room for a social event. Well in NYC, the entire city is my living room. So, what theme would you like for our social event tonight?’ We want Kings Beer Hall to be the living room for our patrons.”

Brooklyn Brewery Co-Founder Picked Up Brewing in Middle East

In this Feb. 24, 2017, image from video, Brooklyn Brewery co-founder Steve Hindy inspects brewing equipment inside the brewery. Brooklyn Brewery is now one of the country’s biggest craft breweries, but Hindy remembers when he had to convince a small Brooklyn club to carry his beer.

Robert Frost/VERITE via AP Associated Press Brooklyn Brewery co-founder Steve Hindy picked up his interest in home brewing from an unusual source: American diplomats in Saudi Arabia, where Islamic law prohibits alcoholic drinks.

“These guys all made their own beer at home, so I was fascinated by home brewing,” says Hindy, who spent time in the Middle East as a reporter during the late 1970s and early ‘80s.

Once back in the U.S., Hindy started making beer at home and eventually decided Brooklyn would be an ideal place to start a microbrewery. Today, Brooklyn Brewery is one of the 10 largest craft brewers in the country and a top exporter.

Hindy recently spoke to The Associated Press about the struggles of starting a brewery.

Below are the highlights of the interview, edited for length and clarity.

Q: What is the size of the U.S. beer market?

A: There are now more than 5,000 breweries in America. When I started in 1988, there were fewer than 50, so it’s quite amazing the way craft beer has revolutionized the American beer industry.

Q: What were you thinking when you quit your job and decided to dedicate yourself to brewing?

A: I always had a conceit that I could succeed in business. I had no real resume to justify that, but when I was a kid, I won a lot of contests selling things. That was pretty much my resume for starting a brewery in Brooklyn. Amazingly, it resonated with a lot of people. We ended up raising a half-million dollars from colleagues and friends.

Q: How did you view the big three beer makers, the competition and your place in the market?

A: When we started in 1988, imported beer was 2 percent of the U.S. market. We thought that was the niche that we were competing with. We were not trying to go head-to-head with Anheuser-Busch, or Coors, or Miller. We were competing with the imported beers.

There was a bar in Brooklyn, a little club called Lauterbach’s, and they had Budweiser. One day, I convinced George Lauterbach to give me one of the taps.

So we took down the Budweiser tap handle, our first Budweiser tap handle. But that lasted for about three days. I went back, and my tap handle was gone and Budweiser was

back. I said, George, what the heck? He said, they just came in and offered me an amazing deal.

I learned a lesson there. You may challenge the big guys, but don’t expect it’s going to be easy.

Q: How meaningful has the story arc been for this industry and for you personally?

A: Originally, we were aiming for that 2 percent for the market, which was imported beer in 1988, but amazingly, 30 years later, imports are now 15 percent of the U.S. market. Craft beer like Brooklyn is about 15 percent. So the market has changed incredibly, and now more expensive beer is more than 30 percent of the U.S. market. It’s really not an exaggeration to call it a revolution.

Q: What does it tell you about what you guys set out to do?

A: I think we are part of a kind of radical change in taste in America. I think that’s true in coffee. It’s true in cheese. It’s true in all kinds of consumer categories that Americans are looking for something a little more special from the food they eat and the beverages they drink, and craft beer has been a big part of that.

Q: The trajectory of Brooklyn, it’s sort of intertwined in your story.

A: A lot of people questioned our naming the beer Brooklyn, including lifelong Brooklyn people who were real fans of Brooklyn. It just seemed the image of Brooklyn in the mid-1980s was not good. It was kind of a symbol of urban decay and crime, but there was something happening here when I came to Brooklyn in 1984. There were a lot of artists in the neighborhood where we eventually located the brewery, and there were some cool bars opening up, and it seemed to me that there was something happening, and it was important for us to be part of it.

We were committed to Brooklyn, and over the years, Brooklyn has just flowered.

This interview was conducted by The Associated Press in collaboration with the mobile video storytellers at VERITE.

New Free Platform Provides Tools, Connections for Small Biz to Succeed

Photo courtesy of CatchSmart

Check out the headlines lately and you’ll see a lot of talk about the need to keep jobs local. But the odds are usually stacked against small business, with limited budgets and time.

Entrepreneur Madara Melne decided to take action and build a platform called CatchSmart that provides the resources needed by indie makers and retailers to better compete with big business.

“With the right information and IT support, we can level the playing field a bit and give small business owners a bigger voice in the market,” she said.

CatchSmart is a social network for independent makers and retailers to connect, develop business relationships and promote goods to customers interested in shopping local.

Melne said, “It was created to give a leg up to small businesses who often lack the infrastructure, manpower and resources to expand their business.”

The new platform launched on March 1. Melne chose Brooklyn as the launch market because of its thriving entrepreneurial scene.

She added, “CatchSmart exists purely to benefit the future of this community, driving regional development and powering economic growth.”

The site works as an online cooperative, with the goal of bringing similar competitive advantages to indie businesses currently available only to global companies. It offers an easy-to-use platform for smaller business owners to discover each other, grow faster, better control the production process and avoid waste and overproduction. CatchSmart believes that by offering a robust network and tools to small business owners, each person has a better chance of achieving their dreams while also driving the local economy.

Makers and retailers can join at www.catchsmart.com/makersand-retailers. CatchSmart offers businesses tools to help them run smarter and more productively. These tools include a social impact score and access to local market data and trends, leading to more informed decisions. Members also have access to the CatchSmart quality QR code system, lowering costs and minimizing the difficulties that come with pricing, inventory and shelf placement.

By linking local retailers and makers on one user-friendly site, CatchSmart aims to empower the local economy and minimize waste through overproduction. Consumers can also use the site or the app to discover the origin of their purchases and rate retailers.

Encouraging people to shop locally makes a social impact by

boosting the local economy and helping the community. The site has created an interactive game that demonstrates how to make this impact.

“CatchSmart imagines a world where small businesses can compete with big businesses,” Melne said.

Old houses need love and care. If they’re lucky, they wind up with owners who are willing to give them these things.

Artists need work spaces with lots of natural light. If they’re lucky, they wind up with houses that are able to give them these things.

Such is the case with Steve and Pat Yamin and their picturesque 14-room Victorian house, which has a turret and three porches — or four, actually, when you count a small rooftop space that’s referred to as a widow’s porch.

“We can have our professions and we don’t get in each other’s way,” said Pat Yamin.

She’s a quilter who has written seven books about her craft. She cofounded a guild called Empire Quilters that now has 500 members. Use the name of her business, “Come Quilt With Me,” when you look online for examples of quilting templates she has designed.

Steve Yamin is a printmaker with a master of fine arts degree from Brooklyn’s Pratt Institute. Use the name “Steven Yamin” when you look online for examples of his prints.

Their house at 3903 Avenue I in Flatlands was built in 1896, the year William McKinley was elected President.

The married couple bought it in 1979 for $49,500. Cobi and Lura Brothers were the sellers, city Finance Department records indicate.

Pat Yamin, who at that time worked for New York State as a vocational counselor, knew Lura Brothers because she also worked for New York State.

Prior to their Flatlands house purchase, the Yamins had lived for more than a decade in a five-room railroad flat above a Chinese laundry and a candy store at 180 DeKalb Ave. in Fort Greene.

That may sound big as apartments go. But his art studio and her quilting room took up so much space that they slept on a pullout couch.

This House Is A Jealous Mistress But back to 3903 Avenue I. As befits an old Victorian house, it is occasionally visited by ghosts, Pat Yamin said — very polite ghosts.

“I’ve heard them a couple times, going up the attic stairs,” she explained.

Meet the Belle of Avenue I in Flatlands

Continued from page 9INB The house is an eye-catcher, in a prominent location on the corner of East 39th Street across from Amersfort Park.

The Yamins gave us a tour of their home. We got a good look inside its high-ceilinged, graciously proportioned rooms.

Original details abound, including stained-glass windows, elaborate woodwork, decorative brass doorknobs and a gigantic bathtub with claw feet. There are three gas fireplaces.

Sunlight streams through tall windows.

Even the garage is charming. Its interior walls and ceiling are made of chestnut wood. As recently as the 1960s, it was used as a horse stable.

The house’s serene interiors give no hint of the messes the couple had to deal with when they first relocated to Flatlands.

There was a rotting picket fence that had to be removed. The garage roof had a hole in it. The weekend they moved into their house, the back porch steps collapsed.

Making those repairs launched them into an unceasing cycle of home-improvement chores.

Every season, there’s a new to-do list: “Lots of caulking. Lots of painting. Lots of scraping,” said Steve Yamin, who by the way is the president of the Nieuw Amersfort Civic Association.

Keeping the house in good shape eats up his time and attention.

“The house is his mistress — so I named her Sophie,” Pat Yamin said.

In addition to that jesting nickname, the couple also call their home Hubbard House.

That’s because Pat Yamin pored over old property records at Brooklyn Borough Hall and discovered that members of the Hubbard family built it and were its original owners.

After doing genealogical research at the Brooklyn Historical

Society, she thinks they were descendants of James Hubbard. He emigrated from Langham, England in the 1600s and came to Gravesend with Lady Deborah Moody, who was a proponent of religious freedom.

Over the years, some of the Hubbards married into Dutch immigrant families who lived in the area.

The name Hubbard House also refers to a DutchAmerican farmhouse at 2138 McDonald Ave. in Gravesend that was built in the 1830s by Nelly Johnson Hubbard and was probably initially occupied by her and her son Samuel Hubbard. That house was designated as a city landmark in 2009.

Unsolicited Purchase Offers

The Yamins are frequently approached by folks who inquire about buying 3903 Avenue I — which sits on a 90-foot-by90-foot lot — or purchasing its side yard as a development site.

Some people just want to know if there are rooms available for rent.

Three years ago, the couple considered an offer from a man who planned to tear down Hubbard House and construct a six-unit multifamily building with onsite parking. The idea of selling the house was tempting to the Yamins, who at that time were thinking about buying an unusual home in the town of Somers in northern Westchester County — a converted barn with a silo.

His offer didn’t pan out, though.

Reflecting on the sale that didn’t happen, Pat Yamin said the demolition of 3903 Avenue I would have been “a terrible thing.”

Even after four decades, the house still has surprises to offer the Yamins. Recently their son, Jared, was removing wallpaper on the third floor — and uncovered a fresco.

The lovely painting depicts a ship called the Mist heading towards a lighthouse.

‘Futurama’ and Fine Dutch Farmhouses in Flatlands

When you are ready to move out of NYC, or a vacation home close to NYC, here are 10 Top Reasons you should talk to me: 5) Have your children have a memorable summer with our camp, swimming, state-of-the-art town pool complete with squirting animals, slides and diving boards (Look for Another Reason Next Week!)

Welcome to Flatlands, a mix of new and old housing — including this landmarked Dutch Colonial house at 1128 E. 34th St. INBrooklyn photos by Lore Croghan

By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn

Flatlands is full of surprises.

What other Brooklyn neighborhood’s got Dutch farmhouses from the 1700s, an area called Futurama — and houseboats in a marina behind a shopping mall?

The neighborhood has its own special mix of new and old housing, having been one of the six towns the Dutch settled in the 1600s in what became Brooklyn.

At the outset, Flatlands was called Nieuw Amersfoort and encompassed more terrain than it does today.

After that early start, Flatlands remained mostly farmland until the 1830s, says that indispensable book, “The Neighborhoods of Brooklyn,” edited by Kenneth T. Jackson and John B. Manbeck. Development didn’t really rev up until the

20th century.

On a recent spring day, we headed off for a look at Flatlands.

We wound up spending two days there, because there’s a lot to see.

We consulted a map in “The Neighborhoods of Brooklyn” to figure out the neighborhood’s boundaries, which we’re mentioning because various people define them in various ways. But everyone does agree that Flatlands is bordered by Marine Park, East Flatbush and Mill Basin.

There’s no subway service in Flatlands, and lots of residents have cars. This neighborhood is one of the few places where we wish we had one — because it would be fun to roll up to the drive-thru Starbucks at 1927 Flatbush Ave., on the corner of Kings Highway.

This semi-attached home with its fine landscaping is located on the corner of East 59th Street and Avenue K in the section of Flatlands known as Futurama.

The Joost Van Nuyse House, AKA the Van Nuyse-Coe House

Dutch Colonial farmhouses are treasures wherever you find them. And this one’s a beauty.

It stands at 1128 E. 34th St., in a yard with a white picket fence. As soon as you glimpse its steep roof with a swoop at the bottom, you suspect the white cottage with blue shutters was built long ago.

The construction dates, in case you’re wondering, are 1793-1794.

Preservationists call it the Joost Van Nuyse House — he’s the man who was probably responsible for building it. It’s also called the Van Nuyse-Coe House as a nod to Ditmas Coe, who rented it beginning in 1852.

It was designated as a city landmark in 1969 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The city Landmarks Preservation Commission’s designation report about it enumerates its virtues by saying that it is “an excellent example of a late 18th century Dutch Colonial farmhouse, that it has superb proportions and fine details, that it has architectural distinction, representing the best tradition of its period and that it is in an extremely good state of preservation.”

A story on the New-York Historical Society’s website by Joseph Ditta says the house, originally located on Flatbush Avenue, was purchased in the 1920s by Amersfort Nursery and moved to its East 34th Street location. Ditta, by the way, was a tireless campaigner for the landmark designation of the Colonial-era Gravesend property popularly known as Lady

Moody’s House, which finally happened last year after a wait of a half-century.

The Joost Van Nuyse House’s owners are David Katzman and Antoinette Byam, city Finance Department records indicate.

There’s another landmarked Dutch Colonial farmhouse in Flatlands — the Stoothoff-Baxter-Kouwenhoven House at 1640 E. 48th St. See brooklyneagle.com for a look at photos we took three years ago of this historic house, which belongs to Ken Friedlander.

Flatlands Reformed Church The first worshippers started attending church at this site in the 1660s.

Flatlands Reformed Church at 3931 Kings Highway has a history that dates back to America’s beginnings as a nation.

The landmarked Greek Revival-style building used by presentday congregants was constructed in 1848. It’s made of white clapboard with a tall spire and is set in a historic graveyard. The place looks like a Currier and Ives print of a 19th-century New England country church — if you block out the vehicular traffic on Kings Highway.

The Landmarks Preservation Commission’s 1966 designation report about Flatlands Reformed Church says Pieter Claesen Wyckoff is buried beneath its pulpit. He founded the very first Flatlands Reformed Church in 1654.

As preservation-minded Brooklynites know, his house — which is still standing today at 5816 Clarendon Road in East Flatbush — is the oldest building in New York state. See brooklyneagle.com for photos we recently took of Wyckoff House Museum AKA Pieter Claesen Wyckoff House, and numerous pix of Flatlands homes as well.

Floating Houses and ‘Futurama’ Out on the very edge of Flatlands, there’s a massive mall, Kings Plaza Shopping Center, owned by publicly traded Macerich Co. Behind the mall there’s an Instagram-worthy marina.

Fittingly for an area with actual Dutch Colonial houses, a houseboat docked in the marina is shaped like a Dutch Colonial barn.

Back on dry land, there’s a Flatlands mini-neighborhood called Futurama with houses that were built in the late 1950s and 1960. The handsome attached brick homes have a classic look now that a half-century has passed since their construction.

Kenneth T. Jackson and John B. Manbeck’s map of Flatlands shows the boundaries of Futurama as Avenue J, Utica Avenue, Avenue L and Ralph Avenue.
