CARACAS — Bolivarian National Guard stand guard outside the Petare shantytown in Caracas, Venezuela, Thursday, July 20.

Large swaths of Venezuela’s capital were shuttered and silent Thursday as opponents of President Nicolas Maduro called a major national strike as an expression of disapproval of his plan to convene a constitutional assembly that would reshape the Venezuelan system to consolidate the ruling party’s power over the few institutions that remain outside its control.

GUEST EDITORIAL Combating Gun Violence in Brooklyn and Beyond

By State Sen. Kevin Parker D-Park Slope-Flatbush-E. Flatbush

Last month, a growing number of cities across the nation participated in Gun Violence Awareness Month with community activists as well as elected officials hosting rallies, town hall meetings and a range of activities all aimed at combating gun violence. But now that the curtains have gone down on this vital concentrated effort, the question of “What’s next?” remains.

Nationally, at least 32,000 people a year are killed by guns. As such, gun-related violence and deaths have become not just a public safety issue, but also a public health concern. In fact, firearms remain the only consumer product not regulated by the federal government for health and safety compliance, yet more and more Americans are dying from guns than automobile accidents year after year.

In New York City, gun violence is a major problem every day of the year and not just during the Labor Day weekend, as some would erroneously have us believe. My position is that the problem is not our parades, nor our block parties or our nightlife scene. Not even guns per se — though I wholeheartedly support sensible gun control laws as indicated by my vote in favor of New York’s Safe Act in the wake of the Sandy Hook school shooting. Un-

like rural and suburban communities whose tales of gun violence follow a script of isolated outbursts of assault weapon fueled aggression, in New York City and urban centers across the nation, the story of gun violence is one of constant and horrific systematic deconstruction of already marginalized communities.

At the heart of the gun problem in our city are the gangs that call the Big Apple their home. When you end up with startling statistics like 40 percent of all shootings in NYC are from gang violence, it is clear that we are not doing a good enough job engaging our youth. But that’s the stark reality for communities terrorized by gang and gun violence in the City that Never Sleeps.

We must do a better job of taking care of our young people in our schools by increasing access to athletics and unconventional sports like fencing and tennis, while bolstering art and theater offerings. For many years now I have sought to make every New York City public school a Beacon School with 24-hour-a-day, seven-days-a-week access to educational and family support services. If we don’t take meaningful steps today, we will continue to write this longwinded tragic story of the failure of our educational system to prepare our future generation.

Hence, I continue to be a voice advocating that our children should learn in schools that are not merely teaching for a test. They deserve to be in schools where teachers are allowed to teach, engage, challenge and nurture them in ways conducive to developing the whole child in the context of their family composition.

We can address much of the problems of gang and gun violence festering in our neighborhoods by embracing a holistic mindset that informs us that well-rounded individuals make and afford themselves better choices.

Thus, I have developed a far-reaching legislative agenda sponsoring bills such as one that increases the types of firearms that are to be included in the firearm ballistic identification database, and another potential law that would require owners of firearms to obtain liability insurance. Too often we pass laws where we legislate an outcome. I am an advocate for passing laws where we hope to avoid outcomes such as the horrific one we just witnessed at the Bronx Lebanon Hospital.

So, I am calling on all of us who last month wore orange colors in recognition of Gun Violence Awareness Month to work together to repair the fabric of our community. Only collectively can we cure gun violence and restore our communities to the prominent centers of learning and nurturing we know them to be.

Saturday marked the Friends of Barbados DLP Association’s 15th annual Barbados Festival Day at Monroe Cohen Park at 108th Street and Seaview Avenue in Canarsie. The day began with vendors lugging their merchandise through the park from early morning in preparation for the plethora of festivities that were planned from noon through 8 p.m.

Admission was free and the event brought out many local residents as well as families from as far away as Barbados.

Busloads of attendees arrived from

tion for continuously hosting the event for the past 15 years.

Other dignitaries in attendance included Barbados Consul General at N.Y. Donna Hunte-Cox; and Judge Sylvia Hinds-Radix and her husband Dr. Joseph Radix. Also in attendance was District 46 City Councilmember Alan Maisel, who addressed the energetic crowd, asking “Are there any Bajans [Barbadians] out here today? And, those of you who want to be Bajan today.” The lively crowd roared, waved flags, danced and cheered.

Sen. Roxanne Persaud, from the 59th District, said that it was nice to be there to help Barbadians celebrate festival day at such a well-attended and peaceful event.

Assemblymember Nicole Malliotakis, who is running for mayor, also mingled with the crowd and said that she was happy to be at the festival and hoped to get some votes on election day.

Games included Barbados staples such as the egg and spoon race, the threelegged race, the wheelbarrow race and the sack race. Children enjoyed playing cricket, hop-scotch, jacks, kite flying, volleyball, tug of war and relay and sprint races. There was also a road tennis competition.

U.S. to Offer 15,000 Extra Temporary Worker Visas This Year Continued from page 1 The extra H-2B visas are for seasonal, non-agriculture workers for jobs at a variety of businesses, including resorts. The extra visas will be available to companies that can show that their businesses would be harmed if they can't temporarily hire foreign workers.

The Trump Organization is among the businesses that use the visas.

Earlier this year Congress voted to allow Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly to offer more than the annual limit of 66,000 such visas. Though President Donald Trump has taken a hardline stance on immigration, legal and otherwise, Kelly said the decision to add visas was a

“demonstration of the administration's commitment to supporting American businesses.”

He described the additional visas as a “one-time extension” of the visa cap set by Congress.

A notice about the extra H-2B visas will be posted later this week in the Federal Register.

The next U.S. census isn’t scheduled to take place until 2020, but Mayor Bill de Blasio and Democratic members of New York City’s congressional delegation are expressing concern that the local effort to count how many people are living here will fall short due to inadequate funding.

U.S. Rep. Yvette Clarke was among several House members who signed a U.S. Rep. Yvette Clarke letter to the U.S. De- says many part of Cen‐ partment of Com- tral Brooklyn were merce calling on the under‐counted in the agency to support 2010 Census. full funding for the Photo courtesy of Rep. Clarke’s office New York City operations of the Census Bureau and the 2020 census.

House Democratic Caucus Chairman Joe Crowley (D-Queens) is leading the effort to get funding in place.

The mayor said he supports what the lawmakers are doing.

“You can’t plan to serve the people of this nation unless you know who they are and what their needs are. It’s essential to good policy, regardless of one’s political affiliation or geography. Every person counts,” de Blasio said in a statement. “I join with the New York delegation in calling for fully funding 21st-century practices for the Census Bureau to avoid a major undercount of the 2020 census.”

Mandated by the U.S. Constitution, the census takes place once every 10 years. It serves as the nation’s official count of how many people are living here.

Clarke charged that in the past, New York’s immigrant communities have been undercounted in the census.

The census is crucial, since it is the data point that is used to determine the number of congressional seats each state receives, how state legislative districts are drawn and how more than $400 billion in federal funds is allocated to state and local governments.

New York City, although heavily populated, is traditionally undercounted in the census, which causes the city and state to lose out on important federal support, according to Clarke (D-Central Brooklyn).

“As the population of New York City continues to expand, our needs increase,” said Clarke said in a statement. “But historically, communities of color and immigrant families have been undercounted and, therefore, underserved. In the 2010 census, for example, some neighborhoods in Central Brooklyn were reported to have lost population, despite the fact that the population had clearly increased. We need sufficient resources to count every individual in New York City to guarantee their full representation.”

The New York delegation is calling on the Department of Commerce to support full funding for the Census Bureau over the next three years to ensure an accurate count in 2020.

To avoid a major undercount of the 2020 census, the Census Bureau needs to monitor 2020 operations in real time, according to Clarke. To accomplish this, the Census Bureau needs sufficient funding to test methods and tools that will be required for this purpose, she said. The Census Bureau also needs funding for a full communications campaign that emphasizes the importance of responding to the census, she added.

The letter was also signed by U.S. Sens.

Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, and U.S. Reps. Hakeem Jeffries, Carolyn B. Maloney, Jerrold Nadler, Nydia Velázquez, Eliot L. Engel, Thomas R. Suozzi, Gregory W. Meeks, Grace Meng, Adriano Espaillat and José E. Serrano.

There were also various tables lined up with arts and crafts and items from Barbados that attendees could purchase.

The Newton Foundation held a fundraiser to benefit needy families in Barbados, Cape Town, South Africa and in New York, as well as other parts of the U.S. Judy Newton, president of the foundation, presented its Performance Award to Marcy Sobers-Bruney. Sobers-Burney received a check for $100 for her 11-yearold son Nathaniel Sobers, who was one of the singers at the event.

Friends, Friends, Romans, Romans, Countrymen: Countrymen: Park Park Slope’s Slope’s Gallery Gallery Players Players Present Present A A Stellar Stellar ‘Julius ‘Julius Caesar’ Caesar’

Julius Caesar (played by Griffin Sharps, who is standing, center) is about to be assassinated in the Shakespearean tragedy that’s named for him.

By Lore Croghan Brooklyn Eagle

Brooklyn now has a “Julius Caesar” of its very own.

The Gallery Players in Park Slope are presenting a new rendition of William Shakespeare’s blood-soaked tragedy.

There’s no Donald Trump doppelganger playing the title role like there was in the Public Theater’s controversial Shakespeare in the Park production in Manhattan.

Nevertheless, Brooklyn’s “Julius Caesar” is stellar — a whirlwind of passion and politics that sweeps you up and carries you away.

The Park Slope theater group has compressed the Bard’s famous play, which was probably written in 1599, into 16 high-impact scenes.

But don’t misunderstand. This isn’t Shakespeare Lite. It’s the real deal, and it’s powerful stuff.

“Julius Caesar” is full of profoundly thought-provoking themes that are relevant to America’s tumultuous political climate.

These themes include the danger of resorting to violence to overthrow a nation’s ruler — even when the goals are liberty, freedom and the eradication of tyranny, to paraphrase the rallying cry of Caesar’s nemesis, Brutus. Political repression and civil war are the ruinous consequences, as the play spells out in heart-wrenching detail.

A High-Minded Idealist and a Steely-Hearted Schemer The modern-dress production, which has just opened, is directed by James Dean Palmer. It features skilled young actors in the key roles of the Roman ruler Caesar, the chief conspirators against him, Brutus and Cassius, and Caesar’s avenger Marc Antony.

Their youthfulness gives them an extra layer of glamor and charisma.

INSET: David Glover commands the stage as Brutus in the Gallery Players’ new production of “Julius Caesar” in Park Slope.

2 • Brooklyn Eagle • Thursday, July 20, 2017

Griffin Sharps is a magnetic Caesar — a bearded hipster with great tattoos who is by turns imperious, paranoid and seductive.

David Glover is an idealistic, impassioned Brutus. His preppy glasses, tweed jacket and thoughtful demeanor suggest a young philosophy professor.

Thanks to gender-blind casting, actress Erin Anderson plays Cassius. She’s a steelyhearted schemer who deftly manipulates high-minded Brutus, drawing him into her faction’s plot to assassinate Caesar.

Drew Ledbetter does a masterful job as Marc Antony, whose funeral oration for Caesar is one of the most brilliant political speeches in English-language theater.

It’s the one that famously begins, “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.”

During the oration, a seething Roman mob stands in the theater aisles, which is a smart piece of staging. It implicitly turns audience members into mob members, too.

There are lots of other smart touches in the production. For example, when the conspirators murder Caesar, they’re wearing white shirts, and so is he. This maximizes the shock value of the realistic-looking blood that is spilled.

There are skilled Shakespeareans handling the secondary roles. One of them is Elisha Mudly, who plays Brutus’ wife, Portia.

In a scene in which she begs her husband to confide in her about why he’s in a state of high anxiety, her eyes gleam with tears.

When she asks him, “Dwell I but in the suburbs of your good pleasure?” the anguish is real.

The Gallery Players’ production of William Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar” runs through July 30. Performances are on Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and on Sundays at 3 p.m. The group’s theater is at 199 14th St. in Park Slope. Go to bleedingpieceofearth.com for tickets or call OvationTix at 212352-3101. General-admission tickets are $25; tickets for seniors and kids under 12 are $20.

Good Day Sunshine In Madison, Brooklyn

UM, WHERE? MADISON IS A NEIGHBORHOOD MANY FOLKS CAN’T FIND ON A MAP — BUT they’ve likely heard of James Madison High School, which is located there. It counts Sen. Bernie Sanders and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg among its numerous high-profile alums. The surrounding area is full of fine houses, such as this sunshine-hued stucco residence at 1633 East 27th St. Find out more in EYE ON REAL ESTATE, pages 2-4INB.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Chuck Schumer Went to High School Neighborhood Is Called Madison Continued from page 2INB There are apartment buildings here and there. Sen. Sanders grew up in one at 1525 East 26th St. near Kings Highway.

Two noteworthy Madison houses were built long before the neighborhood was developed. They are Dutch Colonial-style city landmarks, one constructed before the Revolutionary War, the other in 1834. See related story.

Wear Comfy Shoes When You Go Seeking Architectural Eye Candy Madison is located just west of Marine Park. Some people consider Madison to be a part of Sheepshead Bay. “The Neighborhoods of Brooklyn,” an informative book edited by Kenneth T. Jackson and John B. Manbeck, identifies Madison’s boundaries as Ocean Avenue, Kings Highway, Nostrand Avenue, Gerritsen Avenue and Avenue U. It’s a great place spot to stroll and see architectural eye candy.

But wear your most comfortable walking shoes. The closest subway station, the Kings Highway stop for the B and Q lines, is an 18-minute walk from East 28th Street, where many of Madison’s prettiest houses can be found.

The houses on Avenue P are also especially great-looking, and so are the ones on East 26th Street near the high school.

When you need to take a break from your stroll, you can eat baklava at Safir Bakery or have a cabbage roll at Jay & Lloyd’s Kosher Delicatessen. Both eateries are on Avenue U. See brooklyneagle.com for additional photos we snapped during our recent visit to Madison.

This brick house at 2702 Avenue P is across the street from James Madison High School’s athletic field.

Sunshine-colored 2801 Quentin Road is an eye-catcher.

There are many handsome homes in the Madison section of Brooklyn; for instance, 1650 East 28th St. (left) and 1644 East 28th St. (right).

Who’s Buying Madison’s Million-Dollar Houses?

By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn

INBrooklyn photo by Lore Croghan

Betcha they’ll look fabulous when they’re renovated.

Million-dollar houses — some of them in need of TLC — have sold recently in Madison, the neighborhood surrounding high-profile James Madison High School.

We gleaned info about the buyers and the prices they paid from city Finance Department records.

• In August 2016, Eric Goldberg and Sarah Goldberg paid $1.38 million for 2823 Quentin Road, which is on a 50-by-100foot lot on the corner of East 29th Street.

The beautiful Spanish-Revival house’s lawn is overgrown with weeds and tall grasses — but the neighbors should take heart. In May, Sarah Goldberg filed renovation plans with the city Buildings Department for the conversion of the two-family home into a single-family residence.

• In October 2016, Liman Kodza paid $1.2 million for 2701 Quentin Road. The stand-alone house is a pared-down SpanishRevival design on a big lot on the corner of East 27th Street.

When we passed the house the other day, construction debris was stacked in the side yard and a contractor’s sign was posted.

A certificate of occupancy we found in Buildings Department records indicates the house was built in 1925.

• In April 2017, Shimon Ovadia and Sierra Ovadia paid $1.09 million for a single-family house at 3830 Bedford Ave. The midblock lot on which its located is 40 by 100 feet in size. Shimon Ovadia recently filed plans with the Buildings Department to enlarge the rear and side of the house.

• In March 2017, Lenora Hassoun bought the house at

Houses in the Madison section of Brooklyn are selling for a pretty penny — like 2823 Quentin Road, for instance.

1857 East 24th St. for $989,000. Home improvement is underway.

• Margareta Miller and Joseph Goldzal are in the process of building a horizontal extension at 1814 East 28th St., the single-

family house they bought for $935,000 in November 2015.

• Sami Alkhabaz bought 2202 Avenue T, a house whose exterior is in less than perfect shape, for $800,000 in June 2015. It is located on the corner of East 22nd Street.

This Dutch-Colonial Farmhouse Is Near James Madison H.S. Wyckoff-Bennett Homestead Housed Hessians During Revolutionary War

By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn

If these walls could talk, they’d say snide stuff about the Hessian officers who moved in during the Revolutionary War.

This farmhouse, built about 1766, is located on a Brooklyn street a few blocks away from James Madison High School.

The white-shingle house, which has a porch with a distinctive Dutch Colonial-style curved roof, is the centerpiece of the Wyckoff-Bennett Homestead. The city landmark also includes a barn and a white picket fence surrounding a vast yard that’s a remnant of the 100-acre farmland that once was part of the property.

The neighborhood that grew up around the homestead in the early decades of the 20th century is called Madison. The presentday street address of the long-deceased Hessians’ hangout is 1669 East 22nd St. Three years ago, it was our good fortune to meet the modernday occupant of the house, Stuart Mont, and hear about its extraordinary history. See brooklyneagle.com to read that interview.

He and his late wife, Annette Mont, purchased the WyckoffBennett Homestead from the estate of Gertrude Ryder Bennett Williams for $160,000 in 1983, city Finance Department records indicate. It had been designated as a city landmark in 1968.

In 2016, Stuart Mont transferred ownership of the property to the Stuart Mont Revocable Trust with Randi Mont and Ira Mont

as trustees, Finance Department records show.

The Elias Hubbard Ryder House Is Another Neighborhood Treasure A second Madison historic home, the Elias Hubbard Ryder House, is Dutch Colonial in its architectural design though it was built in 1834 when America’s colonial days were over.

The farmhouse at 1926 East 28th St. has a white-shingle facade and a sloping roof. It was designated as a city landmark in 1976.

It’s a surprising sight to people passing down East 28th Street for the first time since it’s sandwiched between 20thcentury semi-attached houses and a line of 20th-century rowhouses.

Members of the Ryder family owned the Elias Hubbard Ryder House as recently as 1966, Finance Department records indicate.

Currently it belongs to David Hamou, who bought it for $730,000 in 2007, Finance Department records show.

Earlier this year, the property was for sale. The most recent asking price was $1.05 million, online postings indicate.

Lia Isaac of the Ready Group, the listing agent, recently told Eye on Real Estate that the house is off the market.

The Wyckoff-Bennett Homestead, which was built before the Revolutionary War, is located in the Madison section of Brooklyn.

Crown Heights: The Crown Jewel Of Real Estate Investment in Brooklyn

By Jonathan Berman, director of investment sales, & Brett Campbell, senior analyst, investment research Special to INBrooklyn

Photos courtesy of Ariel Property Advisors

The Brooklyn real estate investment market is currently transitioning from record sales in 2015, but energy abounds in Crown Heights, where major transformations, copious transportation options and relative affordability have spurred strong demand for multifamily assets by real estate investors.

Historically a swanky neighborhood that catered to the elite, Crown Heights has blossomed into an eclectic enclave as diverse as New York City itself. Spanning from Washington Avenue on the west to Ralph Avenue on the east, the region has evolved dramatically over the years, due largely to a constant inflow of residents from other areas of Brooklyn, according to an upcoming Crown Heights Neighborhood Report by Ariel Property Advisors.

The neighborhood boasts quintessentially Brooklyn architecture, a reminder of its early 20th century upper-class background. While elegant turn-of-the-century brownstones and pre-war multifamily buildings decorate many of the tree-lined streets, a deluge of modern developments have altered the landscape.

In the first six months of 2017, Crown Heights saw 25 transactions totaling $912 million in sales, a 32 percent and 53 percent decrease from the second half of 2016, the report shows.

Nevertheless, the neighborhood has been one of the most transactional in New York City. To that end, the region of Crown Heights, Bedford Stuyvesant and Bushwick accounted for 23 percent of all transactions in the 1H17, more than any other region of Brooklyn.

Since Crown Heights was initially settled as a residential community for the upper class, building stock is dominated by one-to-threefamily townhouses. After townhouses, multifamily buildings, properties with five or more units account for 27 percent of the total building stock. These two categories comprise over 85 percent of the buildings, reflecting the dominance of the residential asset class, the report shows.

Multifamily property prices in Crown Heights mirrored Brooklyn's overall trend, with the average price per square foot in 2016 increasing 19 percent to $357 per square foot

year-over-year. This appreciation is indicative of investors’ confidence in the neighborhood’s growth and stability. While prices have come down this year, they remain significantly above where they were several years ago.

Nevertheless, the Brooklyn investment sales market has cooled since 2015, which was a record-setting year for investment sales in New York City. In the first half of 2017 there were 570 transactions totaling $3.58 billion in gross consideration, according to Ariel Property Advisors’ recently released “Multifamily Quarter In Review 2Q 2017.” These figures represent an 8 percent decrease in transactions and an 11 percent drop in dollar volume versus the second half of last year.

Prime Destination For Developers The Brooklyn real estate development market also slowed in the first half of the year, but activity is poised to pick up due to the recent reinstatement of the popular New York state 421-a tax incentive program. From January through June, the borough saw 148 development transactions totaling $1.04 billion, down 12 percent and 41 percent from the second half of 2016. Pricing, meanwhile, remained relatively stagnant with the average price per buildable square foot falling just 5 percent to $249 during the same period.

Crown Heights registered 5 transactions totaling $47.9 million, with the average price per buildable square foot falling 16 percent year-over-year to $204.

The expiration of the 421-a tax abatement more than a year ago dampened demand for new development projects throughout New York City, with the downturn in Brooklyn particularly pronounced. However, in April, New York state lawmakers revived 421-a, calling it “Affordable New York,” as part of the state’s $163 billion budget. With the return of 421-a, developers are expected to start building some of the projects that were put on hold over the past year.

Indeed, developers are planning or currently embarking on large-scale projects, which will add hundreds of units to the housing stock and entice new residents to Crown Heights.

Meanwhile, the looming shutdown of the LTrain in 2019 for a 15-month period essentially assures an influx of new residents to Crown Heights in the years ahead as the area has plentiful transportation options. The 2, 3, 4 and 5 trains all pass through the neighborhood, and the

Franklin Avenue Shuttle runs from Prospect Park to Fulton Street. Most areas of Crown Heights closely parallel that within areas of Bushwick along the L-Train, putting it at a strong advantage during this construction period.

In addition, Crown Heights’ relatively lower rent should continue to lure new residents.

According to an analysis by StreetEasy, Crown Heights has a median asking rent of $2,266, compared to $2,495 in Bushwick, a 9 percent discount.

Looking ahead, while the commercial real estate market in Brooklyn is more uncertain that it has been in recent years, Crown Heights remains a beacon of opportunity. The area’s architectural beauty, wealth of transportation, as well as its close proximity to significant landmarks and amenities — including Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens and the Brooklyn Library — should continue to lure residents to the neighborhood, all but guaranteeing a strong commercial real estate market.

Getting to Know Kitchen at Cobble Hill Once you walk inside Kitchen at Cobble Hill, the modern decor and relaxing jazz music playing in the background give a sense of refreshment and relaxation. The decor for Kitchen is special in that the entire space was designed by home furnishing retailer West Elm’s design service, making it the first restaurant in the country to be styled by the company.

Kitchen also features a farm-to-table menu, offering organic grass-fed beef and wild-caught fish.

OLGA POTAP, owner and manager of Kitchen originally came to the U.S. to go to school for finance. After graduating, she worked in corporate finance but lost her job during the 2008 financial crisis. After making jewelry for a while, Potap opened a coffee shop named Karloff and saw success. As Karloff continued to grow, Potap says that they eventually added a kitchen and transformed her coffee shop into a full-service restaurant.

She soon decided to rebrand the restaurant and teamed up with West Elm for a full renovation of the space. With the restaurant’s new look also came a new name: Kitchen at Cobble Hill.

The staff is One of Kitchen’s signature dishes Photo courtesy of Kitchen extremely hospitable and welcoming.

MACKENZIE is originally from Columbus, Ohio but says that New York City feels like home now. While working at Kitchen, she has been studying and preparing to go into real estate.

GILL is currently studying clinical psychology while working at Kitchen and is very passionate about his studies.  Rocco’s Tacos has added a walk-up window for quick take out if you have no time to sit inside for a full dining experience.

Bridges This solo exhibition of work by noted Brooklyn-based artist Sam Messer reveals the breadth of Messer’s body of work and includes large-scale paintings of New York City’s iconic bridges, plus portrait drawings and animated videos from Messer’s “Years of the Cock,” composed of one video made daily in response to President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office. 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.

11th Annual Bay Ridge Arab-American Bazaar Brings Families and Fun to Shoreline Park EID Celebration Also Marks End Of Traditional Ramadan Fast

By Andy Katz Special to Brooklyn Eagle

The Yemeni band was nowhere to be found when the time came for them to perform in Shoreline Park, but no one seemed to mind. Eyes shielded by her trademark aviator sunglasses, controversial activist and former Arab American Association of New York Executive Director Linda Sarsour took the stage: “I invite all of my brothers and sisters from Yemen to dance and enjoy themselves while we play traditional music and our next act has time to get ready!”

And that is just what they did. Young men, arms interlocked, formed rough circles to dance on the grass. A few women joined in, moving in and out of the men’s circle, while other women formed circles of their own, swirling and cavorting to recorded music.

The 11th Annual Bay Ridge Arab-American Bazaar was well underway. Arrayed before a stage where Freedom Dakba Group, Zaid Al-ramuni and Fahim Dandan would perform, a wide circle of merchants had the opportunity to share their products. Halal food vendors worked their grills, and the odor of spiced chicken and lamb filled the mild-summer air.

“I’m very pleased with the turnout,” Sarsour said later.

Admitting she was terrible at crowd tallies, she hedged: “We have at least as many as last year — 2,500 — maybe a few more.”

“What can I say,” City Councilmember Carlos Menchaca told the Brooklyn Eagle. “This is a great event. Inclusive, joyful. I never miss it!”

“The whole community looks forward to the Bazaar,” said Habib Judeh, Arab American Association of New York vice president. “Everyone pitches in. There is a real spirit going on.”

Despite it being a campaign season, overt politicking was discouraged. Sitting politicians and candidates were welcome to partake of the festivities, but not given time for speeches.

The only official political activity consisted of a voter registration tent set off to one side of the stage, where volunteers helped residents fill out forms while explaining the regulations.

“We wanted to make everyone welcome,” Sarsour said. “So, it seemed best to give partisan politics the day off.”

One very visible candidate for the City Council’s 43rd District seat, soon to be vacated by a term-limited Vincent Gentile, was Rev. Khader El-Yateem. The Salaam-Arabic Lutheran Church pastor stood by himself on the grass with an order of freshly cooked falafel. “[My campaign has] more than 3,000 signatures now,” ElYateem said. “I feel there’s a chance for us to demonstrate that people’s voices count; they can be heard, and each one of their votes will matter.”

In spite of Facebook page admonitions to the contrary, some celebrants brought flags from their native countries, which they unfurled and waved as they danced.

After the Yemeni music finished, Sarsour took to the stage to introduce the new executive director of the Arab American Association of New York, Rama Issa-Ibrahim, who praised her predecessor as “a courageous and outspoken advocate for the Arab Muslim community … I stand by Linda!”

One Hundred Borough Criminals: A Review of ‘Brooklyn’s Most Wanted’

By John B. Manbeck Special to Brooklyn Eagle

Cover: Elijah Toten

Selecting the most colorful of Brooklyn’s “made men” was not difficult, but reaching for 100 of them can be a challenge. Craig McGuire achieved the goal by searching for every possible criminal activity in the borough and examining in detail the modus operandi of each subject. His detailed, breezy writing style perfectly matches the street patois of the theme.

Each individual, 90 percent of whom are male, has a detailed description of their background and the most infamous of his or her crimes. Topics cover murders, extortion, cults, child murderers, corruption, hostages, sex scandals, robbers, serial murders and Walter O’Malley. Some are renowned (Lepke; Gallo; Gambino; Abe Reles, “the canary who couldn’t fly”; and Capone, “the Babe Ruth of organized crime”), while others are obscure.

Many are outgrowths of Prohibition, while more recent names, such as politicians Anthony Weiner and Carl Kruger, have been sensationalized. McGuire covers this in his subtitle “Criminals, Crooks and Creeps.”

Surprisingly, some of the names do not easily relate to Brooklyn, like Billy the Kid. Others — John Wilkes Booth, for example — are a stretch.

Booth’s Brooklyn associations are his performances at Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) and a spurious account of a diary left on a train that may be buried in a tunnel under Atlantic Avenue.

Many of the surnames are Italian and Jewish, but there is a sprinkling of Russians, Irish, Polish and Greek felons. McGuire has rated each “perp” on the significance of the crime(s) committed. The most heinous criminal is Albert Fish, labeled “a Brooklyn vampire,” but in reality, a cannibal who outdid Hannibal.

While most of the crimes involve violence, others are associated with robbery (Willie “that’s where the money is” Sutton), politics, fraud (selling the Brooklyn Bridge) and simple dishonesty. Very helpful is an “official walking tour” map at the beginning of the book and a legend explaining where some of the more notorious of the crimes occurred at “the crossroads of the underworld.”

Unfortunately, no index appears in the volume, but a list of other book references about many of the subjects appears at the end, as well as occasional illustrative mug shots. McGuire’s fulltime job is co-director of an advisory organization, Brooklyn Creative Partners.

And I must reveal that once upon a time, he was my journalism student at Kingsborough Community College and has published one other book, “Beyond the Ides: Why March Is the Unluckiest Month of All.” McGuire indicates that he is open to suggestions. I’m certain he could find another 100 by researching other ethnic groups — the Chinese in Sunset Park, the Arabs in Flatbush and the Caribbeans in Canarsie. And then there’s the 1874 kidnapping of 4-year-old Charlie Ross from Germantown outside

Philadelphia that ended with a shootout in Brooklyn’s Bay Ridge near the home of Justice Charles Van Brunt. Charlie was never found.

‘Anima e Cuore’: An Interview with ‘Napoli, Brooklyn’ Co-Star Elise Kibler

By Peter Stamelman Special to Brooklyn Eagle

A writer needs a computer (or, if she’s oldschool, a pen and a pad); a photographer needs a camera and film; a painter, canvas and paint.

But for an actor, it’s not that simple: She needs an audience. She also needs a thick skin, a sense of humor, stamina and inexhaustible confidence.

Elise Kibler, currently co-starring as Vita Muscolino in Meghan Kennedy’s “Napoli, Brooklyn” at the Roundabout at Laura Pels Theatre, would seem to have all four. Since graduating from NYU, she’s gone on countless, often-times (as with any actor) fruitless auditions. Check the “thick skin” box. In the Playbill for “Napoli, Brooklyn,” Kibler, who plays one of three Italian-American sisters growing up in 1960s Park Slope, describes herself as “a female with brown hair and a strong immune system.” So, check the “sense of humor” box. On Broadway, she’s played three roles in the same production: Becky, Clara and Denise in “The Heidi Chronicles.” Check the “stamina” box. She understudied Tavi Gevinson in “This is Our Youth” — but never went on. Check the “inexhaustible confidence” box. It therefore comes as no surprise that, when asked who her favorite actress is, Kibler immediately answers “Barbara Stanwyck,” an actress who once famously said: “I hate whiners. You have to fight life and make it work for you.”

On a recent Sunday, before the 2 o’clock matinee of “Napoli, Brooklyn,” I sat down with Kibler, who lives in Williamsburg, to discuss her career trajectory after graduating from NYU, how she deals with the grind of auditions, her mechanisms for coping with rejection and what keeps her energized and positive.

Below are edited excerpts of our conversation.

Eagle: Growing up [in Oak Park, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago], did you always know you wanted to be an actress?

Elise Kibler: Yes. My parents signed me up for a community theater program and from the start it felt completely right, completely straightforward. It was immediate; I fell in love with the whole process. It was what I knew I wanted to do with my life.

Eagle: Were your parents encouraging?

EK: Yes, absolutely! My dad always used to say, “Why not you?”

Eagle: Can you remember the first play your parents took you to?

EK: “The Phantom of the Opera.” My dad

took me when I was in second grade. It was a big deal. I borrowed a fancy dress from one of my friends and I remember I also borrowed a little muff, because it was winter. And because I was so petrified, I had to sit in my dad’s lap the whole time. But I loved it.

Eagle: Are there any photos memorializing that first theater outing that we can use to accompany this interview?

EK: [Laughing] There probably are, but you can’t have them!

Eagle: How long did it take for you and Jordyn [DiNatale, who plays Francesca Muscolino] and Lili [Kay, who plays the third sister, Tina] to bond — to really feel like you were the Muscolino sisters?

EK: We actually have the entire cast to thank for that, because every cast member is so easy to be around that we all bonded. When you like everyone you’re working with, that’s the perfect foundation to allow for trust. And, without giving too much away, the whirlwind nature of the play brings us all together. When

signs — “Kentile Manufacturing Co.” and “Duffy Meats” hanging stage right and center, the unadorned hanging lamps, whose lighting suggests mid-century streetlamps, the backdrop of Eighth Avenue in Brooklyn circa 1960…

EK: Well, actually I’m glad you’re describing all that because [the cast doesn’t] actually see it. I mean, we see what’s in front of us, of course, but we don’t really get the full scope that the audience gets.

Eagle: Wait, you don’t even see that massive crucifix and the long shadow it casts?

EK: You do, but it’s above you so it’s not really in your line of vision. I will say, the music [traditional recordings of Neapolitan folk songs and popular ’50s Italian songs like “Anima Cuore”] feels immersive — and necessary — because most of our scenes are brief and the music fills those breaks.

Eagle: How lucky do you feel to be wearing Jane Greenwood’s costumes?

EK: Oh my God, we’re so spoiled! She’s the best.

Eagle: Let’s talk about a young actor’s life, starting with auditions and landing the next role. Would I be correct in assuming that even while you’re in a play, you’re going out on auditions for the next one?

EK: Yes, absolutely, you always continue to audition, as long as it doesn’t conflict with your current commitment.

we went off-book and got into the theater and started running with the material and playing with it — that’s when things got really juicy and creative.

Eagle: Had you seen the original Long Wharf production?

EK: I had not — and actually, I’m glad I didn’t, because I think it’s good to come in fresh.

Eagle: Eugene Lee’s set design is remarkably vivid and detailed: The two prominent

Eagle: How do you manage to juggle learning “sides” for the auditions with maintaining your focus on the play you’re doing?

EK: It might seem overwhelming from the outside, but it’s just part of the job in the acting world. You learn to compartmentalize. And it’s a gift, because you’re always hoping you can line up another job on the tail-end of the one you have. Personally, I enjoy it — it makes me feel saturated in the thing I love.

The only time it’s tough is when you’re in previews, in which case you’re rehearsing for most of the day and doing the show at night. It’s only under those circumstances that I sometimes find it tough to make space for new information. After the show opens, you get your days back to yourself.

Eagle: What has been your experience with casting directors? Anything comparable to Emma Stone’s “Mia” in “La La Land,” where you’ve auditioned while a casting director is taking a phone call? Or ordering out for food?

EB: Happily, my experience with casting directors has been almost exclusively positive.

There are several really special casting directors

here in New York and, generally, the feeling is they want you to succeed and to surprise them.

Certain casting directors really make you feel seen as an artist, which in turn inspires you to do your best work for them. Those are casting directors you can’t wait to show your work to.

Eagle: What’s your internal mechanism for coping with rejection?

EK: Rejection is simply the nature of the game, especially when you’re starting out. If being rejected overwhelmingly more often than being accepted is your nightmare, then acting is not the job for you! Over time, you figure out how to best take care of yourself. For me, that means long walks after auditions. In terms of coping with negative feedback specifically, it’s different, of course, for everyone, but maybe it’s about hearing your own voice stronger than anyone else’s.

Eagle: You know that classic Harold ArlenJohnny Mercer song “Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive”? You seem to have it in your DNA. How do you manage it?

EK: I love my job! I don’t think this is particular to acting. When you love something, you take the bad with the good because the good is incomparable. Also, it’s important to surround yourself with a community of people who believe in you and who you believe in.

And when things get tough you lean on them.

Really hard.

Eagle: Last question: I know that Tavi Gevinson is also from Oak Park...

EK: Yup, we grew up together!

Eagle: Is it difficult when you and Tavi — or any friend — are up for the same part?

EK: Of course, you can’t help but have competitive feelings, but if the person is really a friend, you’re on the same team. Whenever a friend books something, one of my buddies always says, “It was one of us!” That kind of sums it up for me also. Like, it’s all in the family, your turn is coming! There’s a dear friend I went to school with who I now see at auditions all the time. We always say, “If it ain’t me, make it her!”

Eagle: I’m impressed; are you always able to be so upbeat?

EK: Well, no... because sometimes, yeah, it does just suck, but that’s OK, too. You use it as fuel for the next one.

Stanwyck could not have said it better.
