Brooklyn Courts Caribbean Heritage Month: Importance to African-American History Host First-Ever Caribbean-American Heritage Month Celebration By Rob Abruzzese Brooklyn PHOENIX

When Justice Sylvia HindsRadix started her career on the bench in Brooklyn, she was one of a very small group of Caribbean-Americans working in the court system. Today, the courthouse and the local legal community have a thriving population of Caribbean-Americans contributing as judges, clerks, court officers, attorneys and in every other position possible.

GUEST EDITORIAL Caribbean Heritage Month and its Importance to African-American History By State Sen. Kevin Parker D-Flabush, Flatlands, Park Slope and Kensington

“Life Needs the Caribbean!” So read the tagline of a full-length commercial that ran in frequent rotation on national network television a couple of years ago. The declaration was made against a backdrop of scenic images of the idyllic blue waters of the Caribbean Sea. For further emphasis, the rhythmic sounds of “island music” were heard in the background. Though there has been a monumental movement toward change, the fact is that in the past, there was a lingering perception that the Caribbean is music, sea, sand and surf. This view was reinforced by the strong cultural distinctiveness that Caribbean people maintained since migrating to the U.S. Hence, when Marcus Garvey was celebrated during Black History Month, it was as a black hero and not as a CaribbeanAmerican contributor. Or when America celebrated the achievement of General Colin Powell as the first black to attain the position of secretary of state, his Jamaican heritage was barely a whisper. Thankfully, this climate has drastically evolved and with the emergency of Caribbean Heritage Month 12 years ago, a new paradigm by which the contributions of Caribbean-Americans are evaluated has emerged. Now, a classroom without walls exists in which we not only just discuss, but celebrate the achievements and contributions of people like Alexander Hamilton, one of the founding fathers of the U.S. and the first secretary of the treasury; and Bertram L. Baker, the first black elected to the state legislator from Brooklyn — both of whom born in Nevis. We also celebrate the Caribbean roots of Hulan Jack, the Harlem politician who in 1953 became the first black borough president of Manhattan. For yet another year, the commemoration of June as CaribbeanAmerican Heritage Month reminds us that our greatness lies in our differences as we recognize the significance of Caribbean people and their descendants in the history and culture of the U.S. In addition, by producing America’s largest heritage street festival that attracts people from every corner of the globe to Eastern Parkway, the Caribbean-American community has shown us not just the beauty, but also the strength in diversity. However, the Brooklyn Labor Day Carnival Parade is just a microcosm of who Caribbean Americans are as a people. Their essential contributions in business, politics, education, literature, the arts, medicine, science, sports, the military and religious endeavors rise way above the din of the reggae, calypso or kompa music we have all grown to love. As a state senator representing one of the largest concentrations of Caribbean-Americans in the state of New York, I am proud of our Caribbean political trailblazers like Basil Paterson, former secretary of state and deputy mayor of the City of New York. Who could ever forget my second mother and Brooklyn’s own Dr. Una Clarke, who was the first Caribbean-American person elected to the New York City Council. Her daughter, the dynamic U.S. Rep. Yvette Clarke, is too a significant CaribbeanAmerican political contributor who has followed in the footsteps of her mom and the Hon. Shirley Chisholm — the first black woman elected to Congress. Moreover, I am proud of being an integral part of the election of David Paterson as the first African-American minority leader of the New York State Senate, who subsequently created similar history as governor of New York state. In the same vein, I am happy to serve alongside long-standing Assemblymembers Nick Perry and Herman “Denny” Farrell — both of whom are of Caribbean ancestry. New York City has the largest concentration of Haitians in the U.S., as well as the oldest established Haitian communities of the country. The district that I am honored to serve bears the largest Haitian population in the state of New York. It is therefore significant that in the past five years we have witnessed an upsurge in the election of state officials of Haitian ancestry, like Rodneyse Bichotte, Clyde Vanel, Michaelle Solages and Kimberly Jean-Pierre, who all serve in the New York State Assembly. Other Caribbean-American elected officials contributing to the health and vitality of our communities include state Sen. Roxanne Persaud and state Assemblymember Diana Richardson. 2 • Brooklyn PHOENIX • Friday, June 30, 2017

Therefore, the time is rife to balance past inequality and put a face on the sweeping contributions made by Caribbean Americans to the building of American society. It is said that the greatest legacy we can leave for our children are roots and wings. Caribbean American Heritage Month accomplishes both of these ends. And by reconstructing an environment of social equality, the spirits of generations of great Caribbean men and women will continuously be elevated and live on. — State Sen. Kevin Parker represents District 21, which includes Flabush, Flatlands, Park Slope and Kensington.

IMMIGRATION ROUNDUP

B’klyn Courts Host First-Ever Caribbean-American Heritage Month Celebration

July 4th Citizenship Ceremony Being Held At Saratoga Park

Continues from page 1

By The Associated Press STILLWATER, N.Y. (AP) — A group of new United States citizens will be sworn in during a ceremony being held on the Fourth of July at the site of a famous Revolutionary War battle. The National Park Service says a citizenship ceremony and traditional reading of the Declaration of Independence will be held Tuesday morning at Saratoga National Historical Park. Park officials say 20 immigrants from around the world will become new U.S. citizens during a ceremony that also will include fife and drums, a color guard and musket firings. The park was the site of the Battles of Saratoga, fought in September and October 1777. The event is being organized by the Sons of the American Revolution, the Daughters of the American Revolution, Friends of Saratoga Battlefield and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

That’s why Hinds-Radix, along with Justice Sylvia G. Ash, helped to organize the first-ever Caribbean Heritage Month celebration, which was held at the NYS Supreme Court, Criminal Term, in Downtown Brooklyn on Wednesday, June 28. “Judge Ash and I were thinking that we’ve been in the court system for over 15 years and we never celebrated Caribbean heritage, so we decided that we needed to do that,” Hinds-Radix said. “We called up Judge Ruth Schillingford and every other judge that had a Caribbean background and said, ‘We need to get this done.’ Charmaine Johnson got together a whole group of people and you will see the incredible work that these people have done.” What came together was a celebration of Caribbean culture that included an art display by renowned Jamaican artist Michael Escoffery, a doll exhibit donated by retired Justice Maxine Archer, steel pan music by Patrick Davis and Court Officer Thorance Scott sang. Justice Ash, along with Hon. Ruth Schillingford, served as mistresses of ceremony for the event. Acting District Attorney Eric Gonzalez spoke, along with Aimee Richter, president of the Brooklyn Bar Association; and Michele Mirman, president of the Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association. Court employees Daniel Alessandrino,

Hon. Sylvia G. Ash with Acting District Attorney Eric Gonzalez. chief clerk for criminal matters; Charles Small, chief clerk for civil matters; and Hon. Lawrence Knipel, administrative judge for civil matters, each spoke briefly as well. “People in the Caribbean, we always say, ‘Out of many, one,’ meaning out of many Caribbean countries and islands, we do have one culture,” Small said. “If you travel from one island to the other, you’ll see our cultures are very similar. By celebrating, you are educating the people around you of why you do things a certain way, why you are a certain way.” Hinds-Radix was the keynote speaker. In her remarks, she discussed forming the committee and how it was important to her and the other court employees of Caribbean descent. She

reminisced about sitting on her mother’s leg and her parents supporting her desire to become a lawyer. “Caribbean parents never think that there is anything that their children cannot do,” Hinds-Radix said. “When I told my father that I wanted to be a lawyer, he never said, ‘But you’re a little girl.’ As a matter of fact, his goal for me was to be the prime minister of Barbados. There had never been a female prime minister, but that never stopped him from hoping that was a job I would take.” Hinds-Radix also spoke about the AfricanAmerican community, and explained that even though their histories differ from each other, the Caribbean-American community still owes much to it. “We celebrate Caribbean history, but we are also very grateful and mindful of our AfricanAmerican brothers and sisters because we stand on their shoulders,” Hinds-Radix said. “We wouldn’t be able to trail-blaze if there hadn’t been a Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King or a Thurgood Marshall. As we celebrate our Caribbean heritage, we are able to celebrate because of the road that you have paved.”

Widow, Killer-for-Hire Get Life Sentences for Murdering Husband By Paul Frangipane Special to the Brooklyn PHOENIX

A hired shooter and the woman who had him kill her husband in order to collect life insurance received life sentences on Thursday as a courtroom full of the victim’s family sobbed and cheered from the audience. On Feb. 24, 2013, Omar Murray, 37, was sent to the grocery store by his wife Alisha Noel. When he returned, gunman Kirk Portious was waiting for him and shot him dead inside the doorway of Murray’s Brownsville home while Noel and their child waited upstairs. Four years later, Murray’s family broke out in applause when Judge Neil Firetog threw a life sentence at Murray’s ex-wife Noel, who stood stone-faced in Brooklyn Supreme Court. “This was the person that was my sister,” Murray’s brother Andrew said about Noel in court. “I thought she loved my brother … my brother deserved more than this.” Noel was convicted in a jury trial on June 8, 2017 to first-degree murder for plotting to kill her husband to collect nearly $900,000 in life insurance. Noel took out the money before the murder and tried to cash out the policies days after her husband’s death, according to court documents. She paid Portious $3,500 for the murder. Noel attempted to kill Murray twice prior to the third successful attempt. Noel’s lover Damien Lovell attempted to kill Murray on Feb. 6, 2013, but missed his attempted shot. Noel had also previously attempted to poison Murray. The victim’s family had no reservations to tell the plotter how they felt, as Murray’s cousin read a statement written by Murray’s mother. “Alisha, you should spend 900,000 years in jail,” the statement read. Noel’s lawyer Wynton Sharpe argued passionately that Noel did not order the murder. “She had nothing to do with the death,” Sharpe said. “She’s heart-wrenched for Omar’s family.” But Assistant District Attorney Emily Dean said Noel had a “determination to murder her husband.” Portious’ lawyer Damien Brown argued that the straight-faced Portious felt remorse for Murray’s family and did not deserve life in prison. “My client is a father, so he feels the pain that this family does,” Brown said. Portious was convicted on a separate jury trial on June 14, 2017. Lovell pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was promised a 15-year sentence in prison, according to a press release issued by the District Attorney’s Office.

Supreme Court Sides with Immigrants Over Bad Legal Advice By Mark Sherman Associated Press

WASHINGTON — When a lawyer advises that a plea deal is the best option and won’t result in deportation, most immigrants facing criminal charges agree to plead guilty. But what if the lawyer is wrong, and deportation is certain? The Supreme Court ruled 6-2 Friday that immigrants in those circumstances can have a second chance in court and risk going to trial, even if the prosecution’s case is very strong.

The justices sided with South Korean native Jae Lee, who has lived most of his life in the United States. Lee pleaded guilty to drug charges in 2009 after his lawyer mistakenly assured him he would not be deported. In fact, Lee, who had been living in the Memphis, Tennessee, area, pleaded guilty to the kind of serious crime that makes deportation near-automatic for noncitizens. He was sentenced to a year in prison, but has been behind bars for 7½ years while fighting to withdraw his plea and take his chances at trial, John Bursch, Lee’s Supreme Court lawyer, said. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the court that Lee can withdraw the guilty plea on drug charges that his lawyer advised him to enter. “But for his attorney’s incompetence, Lee

would have known that accepting the plea agreement would certainly lead to deportation. Going to trial? Almost certainly,” Roberts wrote. But in this case, he continued, “that ‘almost’ could make all the difference.” Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented. Thomas wrote that the decision “will have pernicious consequences for the criminal justice system” because plea deals negotiated in good faith may not remain final. The federal appeals court in Cincinnati had ruled that the evidence against Lee was overwhelming and that he would have been convicted had he rejected the plea offer and gone to trial. Other appeals courts around the country have sided with immigrants in similar circumstances, the position the Supreme Court adopted Friday.

DOT Mulls Traffic Safety Changes in Borough Park, Flatbush Commissioner Trottenberg Takes Tour of Area By Paula Katinas Brooklyn PHOENIX

The New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) is now looking at ways to make the streets of two Brooklyn neighborhoods safer for drivers and pedestrians following an inspection tour Commissioner Polly Trottenberg took at the behest of Councilmember David Greenfield. Greenfield led Trottenberg and several high-level DOT staff members on a tour of several trouble spots in Borough Park and Flatbush were traffic congestion has been a long-standing issue. At each of the locations, Trottenberg and her team closely examined the traffic conditions and told Greenfield that they would return to the community with recommendations for signifi-

cant improvements. “Traffic congestion and safety are the number one quality-of-life issues in Borough Park and Flatbush,” Greenfield said in a state-

ment. “I thank DOT Commissioner Trottenberg and her leadership team for joining me in my district to see firsthand what my constituents have to go through on the way to work, to school and to our parks. I look forward to continuing the partnership strengthened here in

Brooklyn in the coming months as we pursue critical changes to make our streets safer and better for all of us.” The tour, which took place on a recent Friday, began on Ocean Parkway, where Greenfield pointed out the difficulties that drivers face turning onto and off

of the main highway because of new turn regulations. Trottenberg and DOT engineers observed the long waits drivers faced when they attempted to turn. DOT officials agreed to reconsider some of the regulations that prohibit turns from the service roads onto the parkway, particularly near large synagogues and yeshivas. In addition, Trottenberg agreed to look at ways to ease traffic congestion on Ocean Parkway at 18th Avenue and at Foster Avenue. That traffic study will also include the area around the 70th Precinct

station house on Lawrence Avenue, where police vehicles have to negotiate a narrow street while competing with pick-ups and drop-offs at social service institutions located nearby. Greenfield also showed Trottenberg the intersection of 13th Avenue and 60th Street, where two-way traffic turns into one-way traffic. Greenfield said many drivers don’t realize the change and go the wrong way down the one-way street. At another location, 18th Avenue and 56th Street, there is no traffic light, despite the fact that thousands of children cross to enter Gravesend Park.

Prosecutor Calls for 20-Year Sentence for Suriname President By Pieter Van Maele The Associated Press

PARAMARIBO, Suriname (AP) — A prosecutor on Wednesday recommended a 20-year prison sentence for President Desi Bouterse for his role in the December 1982 killing of 15 prominent political opponents in this South American country. Prosecutor Roy Elgin told a court in a summation of evidence from a trial that has dragged on for years that there is sufficient proof that Bouterse was present when troops under his command summarily executed opponents of his then-military dictatorship. The executions of union leaders, activists and journalists inside a colonial fort in the capital city of Paramaribo are referred to in Suriname as the “December killings,” and are considered one of the most significant political events in the country’s modern history. Bouterse has previously accepted “political responsibility” for the killings but insists he was not present. Elgin said testimony from a union leader who was spared execution and other evidence proves Bouterse was there. “As military leader, he was not only present during the summary executions, he also Prosecutor Roy Elgin, center, and judges Cynthia Valstein‐Montnor, left, and Rewita Chatterpal, take their seats at a court in Paramaribo, Suriname, Wednesday. decided the fate of the victims,” Elgin told “I am not impressed by the so-called the three-judge panel. “He behaved like a evidence presented by the prosecutor, judge, and robbed his victims of their most not impressed at all,” Kanhai said. “You valuable possession, their life.” will eventually see how we will deal with The court has not yet set a date for when this,” he added. it will rule on whether to accept the prosecuHugo Essed, a lawyer for relatives of the tor’s findings but it is not likely for several victims, said the families were hopeful after months at least.

DeKalb Market Hall Draws Foodie Hoards to Downtown Brooklyn

Forty Food Vendors Fill Lower Level of DoBro’s City Point Development What started as a trickle just off of Albee Square in the Fulton Street Mall quickly turned into a roar as the long-awaited opening of the DeKalb Market Hall drew foodies from all over the borough, Manhattan and even Long Island. Doors opened to the public for the first time at 11 a.m. on a recent Friday. Some vendors, like Taste of Katz’s and Cuzin’s Duzin, started passing out their signature products right away, while many others still scrambled to start service. “We’re just two friends who want to sell Polish dumplings,” Pierogi Boy partner Andrew Kinczyk said as he opened boxes of napkins and condiments. Behind him, in the kitchen proper, two women cut rolled-out dough into circles before adding filling to each one. NYC Department of Health-mandated posters demonstrating the Heimlich maneuver and hand washing still lined the countertop, awaiting placement on the walls. Potential customers passed by, retrieving menus and promising to return by noon when the food would be ready. “People don’t know what they want to eat yet,” floor manager Jauri Peterson explained, pointing to passersby who had collected more paper menus than plates of food. “We’re very happy with the turnout,” he went on to say. “People have been stopping by for weeks asking when opening day was.” “Ten years ago our rent went from $2,500 per month to $25,000,” Steve Liebowitz of Guss’ Pickles. Guss’, one of the most venerable names in kosher-style pickles for the past century, was compelled to sell via warehouse only until reopening in the DeKalb Market Mall. Sharing a place of honor next to Taste of Katz’s, Liebowitz explained, “Jake [Katz’s owner] invited us to be neighbors here. We’re the only two Manhattan-based vendors in this part of the Hall. He thought we should be together.” Just a few feet away, the man himself, Katz’s owner Jake Dell

stood outside his restaurant’s oversized kiosk, decorated with signs, lights and photographs copied from the original. “We wanted to be certain people understood that Katz’s is on East Houston and Ludlow Streets,” Dell explained. “That’s why this is ‘Taste of Katz’s’ only. The menu here is just a few of our sta-

owner Alan Rosen] was fine with it. He understands our strengths are in different areas — they have the roast beef and cheesecake. We have the pastrami and matzo ball soup.” By noon, barely one hour after opening its doors for the very first time, aisles in the DeKalb Market Hall were mobbed. People elbowed one another aside as each twist and turn revealed a new facet of street-level culinary excellence. Downtown Brooklyn resident Hilary Wolk retrieved a small bowl filled with dumplings and sour cream from Andrew Kinczyk, making Wolk the Pierogi Boys’ first-ever sale. “I’ve been waiting forever for this place to open,” Wolk said before delving into the Eastern European classic. Her companions, awaiting their own pierogi orders, nodded enthusiastically. “I think I’ve got the smallest stall here,” Steve of Steve’s Authentic Key Lime Pies insisted as he passed out “swingles,” small key lime pies encased in chocolate and set on a stick to be eaten like a popsicle. “This is my second location. Of course, the main one’s in Red Hook.” When reminded of his “pirate” days when aficionados awaited clues for the location of his famous van from which to buy pies off the street, Steve laughed. “Now they don’t even let me in the kitchen anymore!” he confessed. Filling more than 60,000 square feet, DeKalb Market Hall joins other retail outlets Century 21, Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, Target, Macy’s and Shake Shack in DoBro’s City Point at 445 Albee Square.

ples — the pastrami, of course, and corned beef — but people have to go across the river for the full Katz’s experience.” When asked if he received any blowback from establishing Katz’s first Brooklyn outpost so close to Junior’s, the borough’s own powerhouse deli, Dell shook his head. “No, Alan [Junior’s

Shakespeare Still Champion Of That Perpetual Theme?: ‘Powerful Men Behaving Badly’ ‘Measure for Measure’ at TFANA Features Politics and a Hot Nun

BROOKLYN’S AMAZING POLONSKY SHAKESPEARE THEATRE HAS IMPORTED British director Simon Godwin to give us an unforgettable “Measure for Measure” with astounding contemporary relevance, along with the mercy, justice, misbehavior and humor that can be pulled from a 1604 observation of Vienna, updated with clarity.

THE BROOKLYN CONNECTIONS TO THE NOTABLE WILLIAMSTOWN THEATRE Festival are many. The Eagle has covered them all, including the latest: an opening of “Actually,” the work of playwright Anna Ziegler (above). Writer Peter Stamelman calls her one of the boldest and most distinctive voices of contemporary theatre. His interview on brooklyneagle.com captures the essence of her masterful depictions of classic “battle of the sexes” ... and she seems ecstatic to have returned to her roots in Brownstone Brooklyn to raise a family.

Construction Updates on Williamsburg’s Hotel Row, AKA Wythe Avenue By Lore Croghan Brooklyn Eagle

There’s a hotel taking shape under that black netting. Behold the Hoxton. Progress has been made on the construction of the nine-story, 175-room property being built by London-based developer Ennismore on Williamsburg’s Hotel Row, which is what we call Wythe Avenue. The Hoxton, whose address is 97 Wythe Ave., has frontage on North 9th and North 10th streets. It’s going to open this year, its website says. On a building on the opposite side of Wythe Avenue from the Hoxton, Delta Air Lines and Tinder have painted a massive advertisement they call the #DeltaDatingWall. It’s a mural with scenes from popular tourist destinations like Paris. The tonguein-cheek concept is that if you snap selfies for your dating profile in front of the scenes, it will seem like you’re well-traveled, and you will be desirable to other people on Tinder.

Can You Name the Other Wythe Avenue Hotels? ABOVE: Here’s a glimpse of the Hoxton, a hotel that’s under construction on Wythe Avenue in Williamsburg. INSET: This is the site where spec office building 25 Kent Ave. is being built — as seen from rooftop Vale Park, which is on the opposite side of Wythe Avenue.

The Hoxton is catercorner to the Williamsburg Hotel, which opened in late January. Heritage Equity Partners, which is developer Toby Moskovits’ firm, constructed this 150-room property at 96 Wythe Ave. The most famous — and long-established — of the properties on Hotel Row is the Wythe. Two Trees Management’s creation is in a century-plus-old building formerly known as Weidmann Cooperage, which is crowned by a modern addition. This hotel is at 80 Wythe Ave. on

the corner of North 11th Street. Another hotel, the William Vale, opened last summer at 111 North 12th St., which is on the corner of Kent Avenue. Riverside Developers’ eye-catching 183-room property has a rooftop bar on its 22nd floor called Westlight that’s popular for viewing sunsets. Also, on the roof of a low-rise retail building that’s part of the hotel, you will find Vale Park, a grassy recreation area that’s open to the public.

Work Is Proceeding At 25 Kent Ave. Vale Park is an ideal spot to check on construction progress at 25 Kent Ave., which is a project that’s right across from the William Vale and has frontage on Wythe Avenue. The full-block property’s other borders are North 12th and North 13th streets. A structure is starting to take shape on one end of the development site, while bulldozers are digging in the earth on the other end of it. The groundbreaking for 25 Kent Ave. took place last fall. This development by Heritage Equity Partners and Rubenstein Partners is a spec office building with space for light manufacturing. It will be eight stories tall and about 500,000 square feet in size. The developers recently announced that they expect 25 Kent Ave. to open in summer 2018. The Class-A office project is now pre-leasing. The brokerage that’s handling the leasing is Newmark Grubb Knight Frank.

How Sweet it Is: Domino Sugar

Here’s a closeup look at the zinc and copper facade of 325 Kent Ave., which is part of the Domino Sugar Refinery project. Eagle photo by Lore Croghan By Lore Croghan Brooklyn Eagle

Every day, it looks more like the renderings. You can see it when you’re on the NYC Ferry sailing along the Williamsburg shoreline — a gigantic squared-off donut with a copper facade on the bottom and a zinc facade on top. Its shiny reflection flashes on the East River in early-evening sunlight. This is 325 Kent Ave., which Two Trees Management is constructing at the 11-acre Domino Sugar Refinery site. It is the first building the Walentas family firm is opening at the mega-project. The 16-story rental property with frontage on South 3rd and South 4th streets was designed by high-profile SHoP Architects. It has 522 apartments.

Here’s a real-life look from the NYC Ferry at 325 Kent Ave. (the shiny building at right) and a landmarked Domino Sugar building. Eagle photo by Lore Croghan Twenty percent of them — 104, to be specific — are affordable units for low-income residents. More than 87,000 applications were handed into the lottery for those apartments. Leasing is underway on the market-rate units, so we thought we should take fresh photos of the progress that has been made on 325 Kent Ave.’s construction. We also got renderings from the developer of amenities that are planned. See brook e e.com for additional pictures of the property. The new rental-apartment building is one of four that will be constructed on the Domino site. They will have a total of about 2,800 units, more than 700 of them affordable. And a total of 500,000 square feet of office space is planned on the site — where more than 20 structures were demolished to make way for development.

A landmarked refinery building will be adaptively reused to create 380,000 square feet of the office space. Construction crews are hard at work on six-acre Domino Park. Two Trees announced that the waterfront park, which will feature industrial artifacts such as syrup tanks and gantry cranes, will be completed in 2018.

Two-Bedroom Apartments for $5,195 Per Month If you’re planning on making your own visit to 325 Kent Ave., be sure to stop by the green space at 320 Kent Ave. that North Brooklyn Farms is running. It is open to the public on Tuesdays through Sundays unless a private event is being held there. Continued on page 7

Here’s a new photo of how construction is progressing at Domino Park, which is part of the Domino Sugar Refinery project. Eagle photo by Lore Croghan Brooklynites recall, it’s known as the Havemeyers & Elder Filter, Pan & Finishing House. A giant yellow neon sign that says “Domino Sugar” will be placed on the former refinery as part of its renovation and transformation into an office building. The iconic sign stood on a building that was demolished to make way for development. Anyway. About the monthly rents at 325 Kent Ave. The New York Times and Curbed.com reported that they start at $2,495 for studios, $3,250 for one-bedrooms and $5,195 for two-bedrooms. The other day, when we checked 325 Kent Ave.’s marketing website, there was a studio available for $2,288 per month.

In addition to the farm’s green space, the waterfront site across from 325 Kent Ave. is also occupied by a bike park whose address is 318 Kent Ave. As a bonus, the green space has an Instagram-worthy sculpture by artist Tom Fruin called “Kolonihavehus,” which is a garden house made of bright plexiglas panels and steel. As another bonus, from the vantage point of the green space you can get a close look at Domino’s 1880s-vintage brick refinery, whose address is 292-314 Kent Ave. As preservation-minded

Sunset Park: Current Development Shines a Spotlight on Options, Opportunities in 21st Century By Uday Schultz

Special to Brooklyn Eagle

cality of industrial stock. For centuries, water and rail transport were the only two viable methods of moving goods long distances. Because both modes rely on the navigation of a fixed right of way for movement, manufacturers attempted to build their facilities as close to those assets as possible, engendering density — and therefore verticality — in industrial buildings. Continued on page 9

Photos by Uday Schultz

After decades of decline, triggered by decentralization, containerization and offshoring, New York’s manufacturers are experiencing a reversal of fortune. This news of industrial rebirth could not be more welcome in a city in need of well-paying jobs to sustain an endangered working class. Politicians have spent the last decade showcasing plans to aid the sector, whether by protecting ‘M’ zoned land, funding building expansions or providing tax breaks to companies with factories in the city. One area that has received much attention is Sunset Park, a neighborhood that is the last remnant of Brooklyn’s industrial waterfront. There, local leaders have rebuilt rail lines, port facilities and industrial stock in an effort to precipitate further manufacturing growth. Much of the development that has been spurred by these initiatives has been of the micro-industrial sort: the creation of incubator spaces for budding companies, the furnishing of mixed-use space for artisans and the fabrication of industrial properties sized for smaller outfits. Industry City and the Made in NY Campus are excellent examples, both being facilities purpose-built to serve the needs of small manufacturers and entrepreneurs. In a rapidly evolving marketplace, the importance of such development cannot be overemphasized. Experimental businesses need space to innovate without incurring too much risk, and these developments provide exactly that opportunity. Furthermore, because these companies usually produce very specific products, their value-added quotient is quite high, increasing their economic impact relative to their size. However — by definition — our city cannot build a new industrial base solely with these types of projects. Incubator spaces are useful for, well, incubation, but are not in any way long term spatial solutions for businesses. Live/work spaces, while honorable in intent, in many cases end up being “ins” for developers to claim manufacturing stock for residential use. And small manufacturing spaces are just that — small — so if a firm

finds success, they will have to relocate to a more amply sized venue. In the vein of vulnerability to gentrification, the transient, diminutive nature of these spaces facilitates the purchase of the same by predatory developers, endangering their industrial nature. One does not have to make a large, conspicuous purchase to gain control of a building, but only a few dozen small ones, easily hidden not only by means of their size, but also by their occurrence among myriad other transactions. Moreover, in the most realpolitik-y sense, these small industries are simply not unpleasant enough for homeowners to be deterred by, as they generally create little truck traffic, noise and pollution. It is imperative that the powers-that-be are careful to invest in a healthy mix of both these developments and others, diversifying the city’s manufacturing base. While these ‘neo-industrial’ projects may be “sexy,” “chic” and “cutting-edge,” politicians must realize that the best photo-ops are not necessarily the best policy. Micro-manufacturing alone cannot anchor Sunset Park; it is too transient, too limited in size, too susceptible to gentrification. In Sunset Park, a more holistic action is required, one that addresses the needs of all stakeholders, not just high-visibility ones. Just three blocks south of Industry City, there lies a vast swath of land occupied by myriad light industrial businesses ranging from food distribution to metal fabrication — the types of firms that make up the oft-overlooked core of our city’s manufacturing base. Such outfits have been suffering not only from macroeconomic forces out of their control, but also from decades of civic neglect. Deindustrialization was a nationwide phenomenon, one that struck almost every community in America, sending industry south, west, or overseas in search of higher profits. But while potent, such forces alone were not solely responsible for New York’s loss of industry. Labor rates and taxation played major roles, but most important to this story was the changing physi-

Sunset Park: Current Development Shines a Spotlight on Options, Opportunities in 21st Century Continued from page 8 The advent of the truck, however, gave companies an opportunity to flatten their facilities and escape the expense of the city, moving to suburban ‘industrial parks’ where they could harness the ability of rubber tired vehicles to go almost anywhere to synergize their operations. New York, a port center with (at that time) a formidable rail presence was left with hundreds — if not thousands — of tall buildings with rail sidings and no truck doors, a type of structure that was quite firmly not in demand. Some companies who still maintained largely rail-based supply chains were able to remain solvent, but with globalization, the advent of the shipping container, and the decay of New York’s freight rail system, the number of such companies diminished. Presently, Sunset Park manufacturers make do with what they have, tucking trucks into spaces once occupied by rail sidings, parallel parking them on streets or backing them into the building themselves, but as can be imagined, these arrangements are in no way efficient. As a result, companies — even those who make heavy use of rail — have been leaving, jeopardizing the industrial nature of the neighborhood as a whole. To provide a base on which these neo-industrial projects can grow, the city must do more to encourage the sustainability of these legacy industries, while at the same time encouraging the growth of new ones. They could offer tax breaks, work with tenants to update buildings, or help provide better transportation options, any or all of which would greatly benefit the city’s manufacturers. To their credit, the EDC has been working for years on improving rail and port facilities in Sunset Park — and indeed across the city — as part of an attempt to wean New York off the truck. However, they have attempted to do so without providing adequate facilities that can handle goods across modes, a situation untenable to most industrial businesses. Whether it is to transport goods the final mile to the customer or to move something that cannot be shipped economically or expediently by the other two modes, trucks are a fixed part of supply chains, thus our civic industrial strategy must reflect that reality.

uest Editorial Opinion

Continued from page 9 Instead of just subdividing space, EDC could work to integrate micro and macro-industrial uses into one building. Perhaps they could build a sort of “Bush Terminal 2.0,” where large industrial tenants would occupy the lower floors of reconstructed, transport-flexible buildings, while upper floors could be used by smaller firms whose use of — and therefore need to be near — transport facilities would be less intense. We lie at a juncture in the path to our city’s economic future. We have spent thousands of hours and millions of dollars working to cre-

ate spaces that are useful for neo-industrial, high-tech businesses, yet neglected to provide much more than lip service to those manufacturers that feed the basic needs of our city. We cannot — and should not — aim to bring heavy industry back to New York, but lighter industry, such as food distribution, steel fabrication and material recycling all could be reintroduced to the city. These industries would choose to locate in our metropolis not just out of geographic necessity, but also out of a desire to draw on New York’s powerful market. If our city’s elders remedied the physical defects that plague our industrial stock, gave tax breaks to manufacturers and generally

Court Street Business Owner Jony D’Amico Married Into Coffehouse Home Away From Home Amid a diner-car-like setting in the vibrant coffee shop sits JONY D’AMICO, 61, usually chatting with her many acquaintances and friends. Originally, her husband FRANK D’AMICO, 56, ran the coffee shop as a third-generation owner in his family, but Jony admits that she “married into it” and now, while her husband works at a warehouse, she runs the coffee shop herself. “I almost feel like this is an extension of my home. You can ask me what I do outside the shop, but I spend so much time here. I tend to entertain here too. This is where people know where to find me. People say, ‘let’s swing by D’Amico’s and visit Jony!’” “I can tell you, my two biggest hobbies in the summer ... any time I can get to a pool, that’s where I’ll be. And shopping,” she tells me. One important asset that D’Amico is happy to tell me is that all her employees essentially are cross-trained in almost every position, with the exclusion of some of her employees who work in the kitchen. “Everyone who works here pretty much does a little of everything — everybody knows how to work the register, everybody knows about the coffee so they can tell customers about the coffee, and they know how to weigh it out and grind it.,” she says. VICTOR VILLAVERDE, 27, is one of her cooks and he also knows how to grind coffee and work the register. D’Amico is happy to introduce me to Villaverde and tells me that he loves singing. As we walk toward the kitchen together, I can hear him singing on the other side of the wall. Villaverde, who has worked at D’Amico’s for two years, is originally from Panama and came to the U.S. when he was 12 years old with his father. MAYALYN POLANCO, 22, stood behind the register and would step aside every so often to grind fresh coffee for the guests who walked in. Currently, Polanco’s focus is on bringing her mom up from the Dominican Republic and connecting her family together in Brooklyn. During her free time, she mentions that she likes to spend time with her cousin and sister.

Fragole’s Inviting Feel A Testament to Staff

Fragole’s inviting and charismatic feel inside would not be possible without its charismatic and passionate staff members who work there. Upon walking into the Italian restaurant, you are immediately greeted by smiles, and a rare passion that shows that those who work there truly love what they do. VICTOR NAVARRETE, 32, is part owner and loves to be active when he is not working at Fragole. “I play soccer and I’m always on my bicycle. I play soccer as much as I can. My bicycle is like my third leg. My bicycle is always there, not like my girlfriend. I am in a relationship with my bicycle,” Navarrete explains about his freetime activities. It is easy to see that, as I am told, Fragole regulars always come in asking about Navarrete, or if he is there that day. Navarrete has worked Fragole co-owners Andres Rodes (left) his way up, since and Victor Navarrete. Photos by Lisa Foodgirl he first came to America from Mexico in 2006. Fragole was his first and only job he has had in the U.S. Starting as a bus boy, he worked his way up with hard work and eventually became a server, then finally found his way up to owner and manager. It is easy to see that his passion for the restaurant and its food is abundant. ANDRES RODES, 47, is also one of the three owners who manage Fragole. Rodes opened the restaurant in 2003 and is extremely happy with the way that it has grown over the years. “When we started, this neighborhood was all Italian [food] and when we first started, there was an article about us in the New York Times talking about maybe we wouldn’t survive for long because there were so many Italian restaurants around, but now most of them are closed,” Rodes tells me as he discusses the opening of the restaurant. He is originally from Argentina, but he also has family from the south of Italy and can speak fluent Italian. He also has some family ties that lead to Greece. Outside of work, Rodes talks passionately about being active and loves to go to concerts with his wife and two daughters. OLIVIA KOZAKIEWICZ, 23, is a server at Fragole and dreams of being a veterinarian. Currently taking a short break from school to take care of her grandmother, she plans to get back to school to continue her studies. Currently, she loves to be active outside as well (a common theme amongst most of the staff there), spending time with her co-workers out on the beach. ARIANA PINHEIRO, 32, a hostess at Fragole, is originally from Brazil and after visiting New York City in 2013, fell in love with the city and wanted to move here. In Brazil, Pinheiro was a teacher and says that she loved her job there. Again, Pinheiro tells me that she likes to be outside and run in her free time (this Fragole hostess Ariana Pinheiro (left) and is a very healthy server Olivia Kozakiewicz. staff).

When: Wednesday through Sunday, through July 15, 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. Where: Park Slope/Open Source Gallery (306 17th St.) Rachel Jo “All Naturale” is a visual collaboration of all things natural — plants and nudes.

through embodied explorations of the temptress archetypes. The femme fatale, illicit lust and animalistic movements swirl in a web that calls attention to our own complicity in the blaming and shaming of female sexuality. In doing so, Ramirez asks and answers the question, “how can sexualized representations of the female body be used to contradict systemic patriarchal objectification without perpetuating it?” When: Wednesday through Sunday, through July 30, 12-6 p.m. Where: DUMBO/A.I.R Gallery (155 Plymouth St.) Forged Worlds This outdoor photography exhibition showcases work by seven artists whose photographic practices revolve around the physical construction of fictional landscapes. Installed on a fence beneath the Manhattan Bridge, this photo installation invites viewers to take a closer look and perhaps allow themselves to be carried away — if even for a moment — in thoughts and lands so strange, yet so familiar, so close to home. When: Daily, through July 31, 2017 Where: DUMBO/Manhattan Bridge (Adams Street, Plymouth Street and Anchorage Place) Truman Capote’s Brooklyn: The Lost Photographs of David Attie In the spring of 1958, a young photographer named David Attie was led through the streets of Brooklyn Heights and to the Brooklyn waterfront by an unexpected guide: 33-year-old Truman Capote. The images Attie took that day were to illustrate Capote’s essay for Holiday magazine about his life in Brooklyn. Decades later, these largely unseen photographs are being exhibited for the first time.

While the “Years of the Cock” videos provide trenchant commentary on politics of the moment, for Messer, the bridges have both physical and metaphorical appeal. When: Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. - 6 p.m., and Sunday, 12-6 p.m., through Aug. 6, Where: Fort Greene/BRIC House (647 Fulton St.)

“Weightless,” an exhibition by Dan Carlson, will be on display at Five Myles through July 15. of Boerum Place and Schermerhorn Street) Shifting Perspectives: Photographs of Brooklyn’s Waterfront This exhibition features the work of two dozen photographers whose images crisscross the Brooklyn shoreline, from Newtown Creek to Jamaica Bay.
