How Did American Nazism Begin?

— See page 2 —

By John Alexander Brooklyn PHOENIX

This past March, Patria FriasColón, the Brooklyn borough chief of the Family Court Division of the New York City Law Department, received the Legal Excellence Award from the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office, along with the Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association.

Flags on New York state government buildings were flown at half‐staff Wednesday in memory of a soldier from Brooklyn who died in Iraq. At left, Sgt. Roshain E. Brooks of Brooklyn is photographed in an official U.S. Army portrait.

According to the Pentagon, Brooks and Allen L. Stigler Jr., of Arlington, Texas, who were killed Sunday, Aug. 13 in Iraq, were casualties of a U.S. artillery “mishap.” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Tuesday that the lowered flags will honor the bravery and service of Brooks. Cuomo extended condolences to Brooks’ family, friends and fellow soldiers. Visit brooklyneagle.com.

G U EST E D I TO R I A L How Did American Nazism Begin?

By Randy Dotinga The Christian Science Monitor

On a February day in 1939, New York City cops gathered around Madison Square Garden to protect the 20,000 fascists inside and the surrounding protesters who numbered as many as 100,000.

There wouldn’t be a larger police presence in the city until 9/11.

According to historian Arnie Bernstein, “the cops said they had enough men on hand to stop a revolution.”

The Nazi sympathizers in the arena, there to see the fascist German-American Bund organization, wouldn’t have minded setting off a revolt. After all, in their minds, the man of the day — this was the Bund’s “George Washington Birthday Celebration” — had helped spark a revolution as the “First American Fascist.”

Outside, just as in Charlottesville, outraged protesters decried the hatred. “They were like what we saw in Charlottesville, a cross section of Americans,” Bernstein says. “Young, old, black, white, Jew, gentile, people from political groups of all stripes, including Trotskyites and other fringe figures as well as more mainstream groups. It was a massive scene, and a few Bundists took punches as they left. Most tried to hide their identity as Bund members.”

The Bund and its toxic American fascism are largely forgotten now. But they were significant players in the America their time, says Bernstein, author of 2013’s “Swastika Nation: Fritz Kuhn and the Rise and Fall of the German-American Bund.”

In a Christian Science Monitor interview, Bernstein talks about the roots of the American fascist movement, the parallels to today, and why Americans should not despair.

Q: What started this movement?

The German-American Bund was born out of various factions and groups that came into being during the 1920s post-war era, when German immigrants and descendants of previous immigrant generations in the U.S. were faced with enormous prejudices.

These groups looked back to the Fatherland, the rise of Hitler and National Socialism for inspiration. They adopted uniforms resembling those of SS and brownshirts, created family retreats where they could espouse their ideals in private with like-minded individuals, printed their own newspaper and held parades, among other activities.

The Bund was led by Fritz Kuhn, who labeled himself “the Bundesführer.” Kuhn was a German immigrant himself and a Hitler loyalist.

Founded in 1972, the Brooklyn Phoenix is an award-winning weekly that covered Brownstone Brooklyn and reform politics for two decades. Full archives of the Phoenix are being catalogued as a special project of the Department of Library Science at Brooklyn College. Today the Phoenix has a new mission to become the voice of the immigrant community in Brooklyn in the new century.

Q: How big was the group?

It’s impossible to say, given that they were secretive and bad record keepers. It’s estimated they had between 15,000 to 20,000 official members. Those numbers don’t include nonmembers who were sympathetic to the Bund and its mission and may have provided some funding to the organization.

But it’s important to note that the vast majority of GermanAmericans did not support the Bund.

Q: Was this a fringe movement?

Yes, but loud and vocal. Americans coast to coast knew what the Bund was and what they were about. Fritz Kuhn, who had an inflated sense of self-importance and a grandiose ego, loved to play to the media.

Q: How did American leaders respond?

Politicians fought back. The major players were Fiorello LaGuardia, the mayor of New York, and his District Attorney Thomas Dewey, who later became New York’s governor and ran for president.

They couldn’t get the Bund on what they were saying because you have the right to be obnoxious in this country.

But they found Kuhn was siphoning Bund coffers to fund his extramarital romances. He ended up going to prison on embezzlement charges.

Q: Who else responded?

The people who went after the Bund were a wild and disparate group. The FBI came down hard: There’s nearly 3,000 pages of FBI files on Kuhn and the Bund.

[Prominent columnist] Walter Winchell went after them in his column and on his radio show. In fact, he was one of the first to attack them. He pummeled Kuhn with a variety of name-calling, satire and black comedy.

Kuhn hated Winchell and said when the Bund took over he would hang from the highest light pole in front of his beloved New York hangout, The Stork Club.

In one notorious case, a group of Jewish VFW members infiltrated a Bund meeting hall and at the prescribed time interrupted the meeting and started swinging. The fight spilled out into the streets and cops had to call for reinforcements.

In another case, the Bundists wanted to build a family retreat in Southbury, Connecticut.

The town council said: Not in our town. They changed zoning laws and made arrests — which were probably illegal — that forced the Bund to leave.

Q: How did Jewish mobsters fit in?

One of the most notorious groups to go after the Bund were the boys of the Jewish underworld: Mayer Lansky, Bugsy Siegal, Mickey Cohen and others.

They were bad guys to be sure, but they were loyal to their people. Mobsters broke up Bund meetings and broke Bundist bones. Bugsy Siegal ran training sessions to teach these volunteers the best methods to attack Bundists! Quite a tale, to be sure.

Q: What are differences between the American fascists of the 1930s and today?

This past weekend’s anti-Semitic shouts, the swastika flags and tattoos that were brazenly displayed, the racist taunts: What we saw makes the Bundists look like amateurs.

The Bund fell apart after Kuhn went to prison in 1939, and the death knell was sounded when we entered World War II. A situation like that doesn’t exist today.

Q: What gives you hope?

The downside is that these groups are out there and in numbers. The good news is that there are more people of good and always will be.

We live in a different society than the late 1930s. People can live openly and together regardless of religion, race, sexuality or other factors. I’m not saying we’re a utopian society by any stretch of the imagination. But we are better. © 2017 The Christian Science Monitor

PHOENIX Q&A: Dominican Immigrant Patria Frias-Colón Seeks Seat on Civil Court Bench Continued from page 1 In accepting the award, Frias-Colón said, “Having lived as a prosecutor, everything I’ve learned is all about justice. Not only do I want to ensure that the people prosecuted are given justice, but also the victims in our cases and of course that justice has to translate to the community.”

Frias Colon is currently running for one of the five open seats on the Brooklyn Civil Court. There are 11 candidates for the position, which covers the entire county. The primary is Sept. 12 and Civil Court judges are elected to 10-year terms.

Frias-Colón has most recently served as the Brooklyn borough chief for the New York City Law Department’s Family Court Division, where she oversees the juvenile delinquency practice.

Prior to that, Frias-Colón served as assistant district attorney in Kings County and was an adjunct professor at St. John’s University’s School of Education. She then served as agency counsel to the NYC Department of Education in 1998 and later became assistant deputy counsel to the schools’ chancellor.

Frias-Colón was born in the Dominican Republic before moving to Brooklyn as a young girl. She graduated from Bushwick High School, received her Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Rochester, and graduated from Hofstra University School of Law. She was awarded a Public Justice scholarship.

Frias-Colón recently took the time to talk with the Brooklyn PHOENIX about her candidacy and background.

Brooklyn PHOENIX: So, you grew up in Bushwick. How old were you when you first came to New York?

Frias-Colón: My earliest memory is around 7. But it could have been a little earlier. I know I started first grade here. Maybe I was between 5 and 6. I was very young.

When we got here from the Dominican Republic, that was a very huge change in what we were used to seeing. And although we grew up modest there, I never realized how poor we were until we came here.

We were raised in Bushwick in a tenement apartment. My mother made a very modest income in the factories and she worked in a few of them. My youngest sister was born here and much later [so was] my brother, who is now a New York City police officer.

PHOENIX: How did your childhood and all the obstacles you had to face influence your desire to seek a career in law?

Frias-Colón: Two reasons: I remember being in my first-grade bilingual class at P.S. 274 in Bushwick. They had a corner library there in each class. One of the books on the shelf was a picture book about professions.

The cover photo said lawyer and it had a woman’s face on it. I thought a woman can become a lawyer. That was my first recognition that we could do anything that we set our minds to.

You know, growing up I watched TV shows like “Perry Mason,” and there were no women lawyers; the judges were not women and certainly not people of color. So [seeing the book] was my first exposure. That planted the seed in my head. And while growing up, we had to change apartments periodically because the landlords wouldn’t give us heat, or we would lose hot water. And I always remember my mother being so diligent about paying her rent because she didn’t want us to be forced out of a home.

Those were basically the two things that motivated me. I said when I grow up I’m going to be a lawyer and I’m going help people to make sure they get heat and hot water.

And here I am now.

PHOENIX: What are your current responsibilities?

Frias-Colón: Well, today I am the borough chief for juvenile crimes and interstate child support in Brooklyn. So, I work for the New York City Law Department and I have since 2009. And I’ve worked with a wonderful team of people, including support professionals, investigators and attorneys. We are charged with handling the investigations and prosecutions of juvenile crimes. And I also have a team of people who handle all interstate child support work.

PHOENIX: As a successful attorney, what made you want to run for the Civil Court bench seat?

Frias-Colón: Once I became a lawyer, I knew that for me the ultimate transition was to become a judge. It did become increasingly difficult for me to do that because I loved the work that I did at every stage of my professional career. So, for example, when I hit my 10-year mark, which is what you need to become a Civil Court judge or a Supreme Court justice, I knew that I was going to begin to do the work that needed to be done to try to ascend to the bench, whether it was the appointed route or whether it was the elected route.

At the time, I was with the Department of Education (DOE) doing some great work with the Administrative Trials Unit, as well as with then-President of the board Ninfa Segarra.

I never would have left the DOE; I was very happy there. But then I got this amazing opportunity to apply for the NYC Law Department. I did it with trepidation. But I had someone to nudge me and ultimately I got the job to lead their Brooklyn office and it’s been a wonderful marriage ever since.

PHOENIX: You and your husband Robert Colón are the parents of three children. Do you still live in Brooklyn?

Frias-Colón: I do. When I got married in 1990 I moved from my parents’ house in Bushwick to his parents’ house three blocks away. We then moved to Bedford-Stuyvesant in 2001 and we’ve been there ever since.

PHOENIX: Congratulations on being endorsed by Frank Seddio and the Kings County Democratic Party.

Frias-Colón: [Frank is] wonderful and he’s done so much for others. I am thrilled to have his support. There are five open seats in the Civil Court and I was found qualified by the independent judicial panel for the Kings County Democratic Party, for both the Civil and the Supreme Court.

PHOENIX: Do you have opponents for the judge’s seat, and who will make the ultimate selection?

Frias-Colón: Well, there are only five seats and there are currently 11 candidates, including myself. So, the people of Brooklyn are going to make that decision. The ones who have the most votes on Sept. 12 will move forward to the general election.

PHOENIX: What will be your judicial district?

Frias-Colón: It will be countywide seat that covers all of Brooklyn.

PHOENIX: What are some activities you do within the community?

Frias-Colón: Something people may not know is that I am a member of the Coney Island Polar Bears. Our season begins the first Sunday in November and our season ends the last Sunday in April. I’m really proud of that group of people and the work that we do. On Jan. 1, we always do a huge fundraiser for the Camp Sunshine family organization. We usually raise thousands of dollars.

I’m involved with the Brooklyn chapter of Jack and Jill, a national organization for mothers. We pool our resources together to provide financial and other support to our Brooklyn community and we do legislative work as well. We’ve given money to the New York Public Library [and] we do Toys for Tots for children in shelters, which is something very close to my heart.

I’m also a member of numerous legal professional organizations like the Dominican Bar Association, the Metropolitan Black Bar Association, the Women’s Bar Association in Brooklyn and the Brooklyn Bar Association all of which do phenomenal work. It’s all volunteer work but it’s all about paying it forward.

PHOENIX: Do you feel that your background as an immigrant brings something new and unique to the bench that has been missing?

Frias-Colón: I’ll tell you what I think my uniqueness is: I have a very well-rounded perspective. I’m the daughter of struggle, I know how certain things can weigh you down and I know how things can lift you up.

PHOENIX: Do you ever go back to visit the Dominican Republic?

Frias-Colón: Absolutely. Not only do I have family there, and my mother has impressed upon us the importance of family, and we’ve done the same with our kids. I’ve been here now over 40 years and she’s been here longer than that. She made it a point that we always went there during school breaks. My family and I still try to go at least once a year.

PHOENIX: What do you hope to accomplish as Civil Court judge?

Frias-Colón: Well, you know, in Brooklyn there’s never been a Dominican-born elected to the Civil Court. And this will be a first. It’s historic for me, and historic for our borough.

STATUE OF LIBERTY POEM — In this undated photo, a group of immigrants, who arrived at Ellis Island in New York, wait in line to begin immigration proceedings. Senior White House aide Stephen Miller told reporters Wednesday, Aug. 2, that the poem written by Emma Lazarus, inset, about the “huddled masses” is not part of the original Statue of Liberty. Miller says the Statue of Liberty is a “symbol of American liberty lighting the world” and suggested the statue had little to do with immigrants. The National Park Services says Lazarus’ sonnet depicts the statue as a symbol of immigration and opportunity. Visit brooklyneagle.com for more Our World in Photos.

BROOKLYN EAGLE ‘Only the Dead Know Brooklyn’

DO YOU KNOW THE WAY TO WASHINGTON CEMETERY, A HISTORIC BROOKLYN GRAVEYARD WHERE THE PLAYWRIGHT KNOWN AS “THE JEWISH SHAKESPEARE” is buried? It’s located at the intersection of Bay Parkway and McDonald Avenue, in a neighborhood known as Mapleton. Read all about the 100-acre cemetery — and the surrounding neighborhood — in EYE ON REAL ESTATE, pages 2-4.

Washington Cemetery Is a Historic Treasure Hollywood Glamor Girl and ‘the Jewish Shakespeare’ Rest in Peace in This Brooklyn Graveyard

By Lore Croghan Brooklyn Eagle

Mausoleums for Abraham Wolff (right) and the Fichter family stand tall beside modern black gravestones.

The cemetery where Tashman was laid to rest amid her fans’ hysteria is in the middle of Brooklyn, at the intersection of Bay Parkway and McDonald Avenue. The 100-acre graveyard is located partly within a neighborhood called Mapleton. See related story.

Have you been to Washington Cemetery? It’s a historic treasure.

We made a visit the other day so we could pay our respects to another celebrity of yesteryear who was buried there — a playwright known as “the Jewish Shakespeare.” More about him in a minute.

Explanations vary about why Bennet wound up not serving as Smith’s running mate.

Anyway. Washington Cemetery started out as a non-sectarian cemetery. Then in 1857, it was consecrated as a Jewish burial ground.

This past March, Washington Cemetery was in the headlines because 42 headstones fell over. Elected officials feared the graves had been vandalized.

But cemetery management and the New York Police Department both said the tombstones’ old age caused them to fall over.

Cemetery Founded in the 1840s

Author of ‘The Jewish King Lear’ Transformed Yiddish Theater

The cemetery was founded in the 1840s by James Arlington Bennet. His claim to fame is that when Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormon church, decided to run for President in the 1844 election, Bennet was his first choice for vice-presidential running mate.

Ten thousand fans rioted at her grave.

Crowds at Washington Cemetery went wild at Brooklyn-born Hollywood actress Lilyan Tashman’s March 1934 burial.

According to a United Press newswire account, 30 police officers formed a square around her grave to hold back a mob of mostly female fans.

They came to bid farewell to the glamor girl who died of cancer at the tragically young age of 37.

During her short life, she appeared in 67 films, having made the transition from silent movies to talkies thanks to her experience as a theater actress. She was nicknamed “the Best-Dressed Woman on the Screen” because of her dazzling off-screen wardrobe.

What her fans didn’t know, but writers about Hollywood’s history revealed in recent years, was that Tashman was one of Greta Garbo’s lovers.

No lyin’ — Washington Cemetery is full of gravestones and monuments that inspire reflection and remembrance.

2 • Brooklyn Eagle • Thursday, August 17, 2017

Fortunately for the many Brooklynites who visit graveyards with a sense of awe and reverence, Washington Cemetery is open to the public six days a week.

It’s a tranquil, spiritual place for a looong walk. Thousands of tombstones are packed tightly together in some parts of the graveyard. In other spots, the density subsides and there are family plots with grassy lawns. Here and there, stately mausoleums stand tall.

Austerely sculpted headstones from the distant past contrast with modern-day black tombstones that are laser-etched with portraits of the dearly departed.

“The Jewish Shakespeare” whose grave we went to visit, Jacob Gordin, is buried in a family plot that has an eye-catching monument.

Ukrainian-born Gordin, who came to New York in 1891, brought realism and naturalism to Yiddish theater. He wrote around 80 plays. Many were adaptations of works by literary titans like William Shakespeare and Henrik Ibsen.

Gordin’s best-known play, “The Jewish King Lear,” wrung audience’s hearts because it made them think of aging parents they had left behind in Europe.

Gordin died in 1909.

Million-Dollar Home Sales In Mapleton Betcha Don’t Know Where This Neighborhood Is

These eye-catching Mapleton homes are on 65th Street between 18th and 19th avenues. Eagle photos by Lore Croghan

By Lore Croghan

Mapleton is full of handsome houses. This fine block is on 63rd Street between 19th and 20th avenues.

Brooklyn Eagle

It’s a little bit Bensonhurst, a little bit Borough Park. And it’s got a stunning cemetery.

Mapleton is one of those neighborhood names you don’t hear much, unless your kids attend PS 48, which is the Mapleton School, or you use the Mapleton branch of the Brooklyn Public Library.

It is recognized as a specific neighborhood by Community Board 11 — it’s one of the four neighborhoods that CB 11 serves.

Mapleton, which was developed between 1913 and 1919, is in southwest Brooklyn.

If you start at the Brooklyn Army Terminal on the shoreline at 58th Street in Sunset Park and proceed east, you’ll wind up in Mapleton.

The neighborhood’s boundaries are 16th Avenue, 57th Street, Dahill Road and 65th Street.

On some maps, Mapleton is included in Bensonhurst’s terrain. On other maps, Mapleton is shown as a sub-neighborhood within Borough Park.

There’s an excellent array of cherished middle-class housing stock in Mapleton.

Many residences are semi-attached homes with driveways. Others are rowhouses jazzed up with porches and eye-catching gardens. Pergolas with luxuriant vines are popular.

There are peach trees in the front yards of some homes, which of course call to mind the Deep South.

One of the most charming homes we saw on a recent stroll around the area was an enormous stand-alone house with a vast lawn at 5822 20th Ave. on the corner of 59th Street.

Another charming property is a smaller standalone house at 1851 60th St. It has a heroic air to it because it is flanked on both sides by larger, recently constructed buildings.

BTW, 1851 60th St. changed hands in 2015. Beilu Hammer Torn and Elimelech Torn bought it for $995,000, city Finance Department records indicate.

Who’s Been Buying Recently?

Two- and three-unit homes in Mapleton are selling for around $1.5 million these days. Single-family home prices are approaching $1 million. Want to know who’s been buying houses? Of course you do.

We gleaned prices and buyer info from Finance Department records: • Isaac Herzog and Chaya Herzog bought 2072 62nd St. for $1.55 million in May. A posting on realtor.com says the detached house with a private driveway and a garage is a three-family home.

• In May, Yisroel Elefant paid $1.505 million for 2108 61st St. According to realtor.com, it’s a two-family home.

• Samuel Brody bought 2139 60th St. for $1.5 million in March. It’s a three-family home, a realtor.com posting says. The sellers, Yisroel Meir Lichtman and Glida Lichtman, had purchased the property for $940,000 in 2005.

• In April, Saul Knobloch and Malkah Knobloch purchased 2109 64th St. for $999,500. The sellers, Yechiel Spira and Sara Spira, had paid $720,000 for it in 2007. It is a two-family home, a realtor.com posting indicates.

• Abraham Farkas paid $899,000 for 2147 59th St. in July.

Eric Scarponi and Dina Scarponi, who were the sellers, had bought the property for $700,000 in 2015. A realtor.com posting identifies the property as a single-family home.

Brooklyn Investment Property Sales Cool in 1H17, Southwest Region Industrial Assets Heat Up

By Aaron Warkov, director of investment sales, and Aryeh Orlofsky, senior vice president of investment research Special to Brooklyn Eagle

Brooklyn investment property sales continued to struggle during the first half of 2017, echoing 2016’s trend, with pricing metrics slumping across the board, particularly on multi-family properties. However, activity noticeably bounced back during the latter part of the second quarter, indicating the market may have turned a corner.

During the first half of 2017, New York City’s biggest borough saw 570 transactions consisting of 756 properties, totaling approximately $3.58 billion in gross consideration, according to Ariel Property Advisors’ recently released “Brooklyn 2017 Mid-Year Sales Report.”

Compared with the second half of 2017, dollar volume and transaction volume dropped 11 percent and 8 percent, respectively, while property volume held steady. Year-over-year the drop was more significant, with transaction and property volume falling 20 percent and 16 percent, respectively, while dollar volume slid 7 percent compared to the same period in 2016.

Downtown Brooklyn and Park Slope were the most active neighborhoods in the borough, accounting for nearly 42 percent of the borough’s dollar volume, driven by large-scale multifamily and development transactions.

Dollar volume in the neighborhoods of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Bushwick and Crown Heights comprised 14 percent, the same percentage as Williamsburg and Greenpoint.

From January through June, Brooklyn multifamily transaction volume receded by 12 percent versus the second half of 2016, with 337 transactions registered. Dollar volume followed suit, slipping 17 percent to $1.56 billion during the same period. Compared to the averages of 2016, prices per square foot decreased by 8.5 percent to $344 per square foot, capitalization

rates increased from 4.58 percent to 4.88 percent, and gross rent multiples decreased from 15.96 to 15.28.

Multifamily assets were weighed by a slew of factors in the first half of 2016, including a softening residential rental market, a challenging tax environment, increases in interest rates, and rising operating expenses. However, the borough continues to attract new institutional buyers, including Clipper Equity which bought Brooklyn’s largest single property multifamily transaction of the year at 107 Columbia Heights, a 161-unit, former Jehovah’s Witness building, for $87.5 million, or $568 per square foot.

Development site dollar volume in the first half of 2017 decreased 41 percent to $1.04 billion and transaction volume dropped 12 percent to 148 compared to the second half of 2016.

One of the most significant development transactions was the $68 million sale of 633 Fulton St. sold by Jem Realty to the Rabsky Group.

The Downtown Brooklyn/Fort Greene property completes an assemblage for the buyer who can now build an approximately 770,000-squarefoot building on the site.

However, the outlook for the development market is encouraging. The passage of Affordable New York tax abatement legislation, formerly 421-a, in April triggered an uptick in demand for development sites in May and June.

Southwest Brooklyn Buoyed

By Dearth of Industrial Space

The loss of millions of square feet of industrial space to residential developments throughout New York City in recent years has created a dire need for the creation of Industrial Business Zones to protect remaining industrial and commercial space in Brooklyn.

The softening of brick-and-mortar retail and shopping malls, the rise of e-commerce and the need for fulfillment centers, has set the stage for an enormous need for industrial space.

Online retailers have rabidly snatched up buildings for storage and shipment. While Long Island City and Williamsburg have been hot spots, they are currently perceived as being overbuilt and overpriced.

led by the $105 million sale of the Innovation Studio Portfolio by Est4te Four.

Pricing followed the same trend, with the average price per square foot for industrial buildings in Gowanus, Sunset Park and Red Hook clocking in at $426, a remarkable 166 percent increase from the $160 per square foot seen for these assets in 2011.

Despite the price appreciation, relative valuations indicate industrial properties in these neighborhoods have room for even more growth.

Southwest Brooklyn is highly desirable for a number of reasons, with its close proximity to Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn making it a major draw for industrial space. It is also in close proximity to some of the borough’s well-known cultural destinations, as well as an abundance of trendy restaurants and bars.

Copious transportation options Aaron Warkov, director are also a draw.

Crowded Field in Bay Ridge’s 43rd District City Council Race

By Paula Katinas Brooklyn Eagle

N 7 on the Ballot o.

There are enough candidates in the race for the Bay Ridge City Council seat to field a baseball team. Two more candidates recently filed enough petition signatures with the New York City Board of Elections to qualify for the ballot, bringing the total of candidates up to nine.

Democrat Vincent Chirico, a lawyer from Dyker Heights, and Republican Lucretia Regina-Potter, a former design consultant for a tile company, are both running in the 43rd Council District.

The district covers Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights and includes parts of Bensonhurst and Bath Beach.

Chirico, a member of Community Board 11 in Bensonhurst and vice president of the Dyker Heights Athletic Association, is running against four other Democrats this November: Justin Brannan, Kevin Peter Carroll, Rev. Khader El-Yateem and Nancy Tong.

Regina-Potter, who lives in Bath Beach, has run for public office several times before, most recently in a special election for state Assembly seat in the 46th Assembly District in 2015, when she lost to Democrat Pamela Harris.

Regina-Potter joins a field of candidates in the Republican primary for the City Council seat that includes Bob Capano, Liam McCabe and John Quaglione.

Both the Democratic and Republican primaries will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 12. The winners will face each other in the general election on Nov. 7.

Democrat Vincent Gentile, who has held the Council seat since 2003, is prohibited from running for re-election due to the city’s term limits law.

Gentile has endorsed Brannan, who is his chief of staff, in the Council race.

The two newest candidates have been busy in recent weeks introducing themselves to the voters.

Chirico’s campaign website touts his volunteer work in the community. In addition to his work on Community Board 11 and the Dyker Heights Athletic Association, he is also the chairperson of Opportunities for a Better Tomorrow, a Sunset Park-based nonprofit organization that offers high school dropouts a chance to earn their GEDs, as well as assistance with resume writing, job interview practice and other skills.

“Throughout his years advocating for the community, Vince has put into action solutions to the issues that matter to Brooklynites.

His work with Opportunities for a Better Tomorrow has fed Vince’s passion to reform the systemic problems that impede high school retention. With over 300,000 disconnected young adults facing obstacles to workforce entry and re-entry, Vince is passionate about tackling this problem on a broader scale in the City Council, a problem made greater by President [Donald] Trump’s funding cuts,” a statement on the website reads.

A website created during Regina-Potter’s 2015 Assembly run points to her years of experience in business, politics and volunteerism.

The Parkville Football program, the Kings Bay Football program, the Dyker Heights Athletic Association and the Saint Ephrem’s Athletics program are among the organizations listed on the website as those she supports.

Regina-Potter is the director of communications for the Fiorello LaGuardia Republican Organization and is a member of the National Federation of Republican Women.

“When I grow up, I’m going to be a lawyer and I’m going help people to make sure they get heat and hot water.” And here I am now.

Eagle: What are your current responsibilities?

Frias-Colón: Well, today I am the borough chief for juvenile crimes and interstate child support in Brooklyn. So, I work for the New York City Law Department and I have since 2009. And I’ve worked with a wonderful team of people, including support professionals, investigators and attorneys. We are charged with handling the investigations and prosecutions of juvenile crimes.

And I also have a team of people who handle all interstate child support work.

Eagle: As a successful attorney, what made you want to run for the Civil Court bench seat?

Frias-Colón: Once I became a lawyer, I knew that for me the ultimate transition was to become a judge. It did become increasingly difficult for me to do that because I loved the work that I did at every stage of my professional career. So, for example, when I hit my 10-year mark, which is what you need to become a Civil Court judge or a Supreme Court justice, I knew that I was going to begin to do the work that needed to be done to try to ascend to the bench, whether it was the appointed route or whether it was the elected route.

Eagle: Do you feel that your background as an immigrant brings something new and unique to the bench that has been missing?

Frias-Colón: I’ll tell you what I think my uniqueness is: I have a very well-rounded perspective. I’m the daughter of struggle, I know how certain things can weigh you down and I know how things can lift you up.

Eagle: What do you hope to accomplish as Civil Court judge?

Frias-Colón: Well, you know, in Brooklyn there’s never been a Dominican-born elected to the Civil Court. And this will be a first. It’s historic for me, and historic for our borough.

McCabe Learns Valuable Lesson About Honor on National Honor Flight

By John Alexander Brooklyn Eagle

In April, 50 proud veterans from the New York City area were invited to fly to Washington, D.C. on the Big Apple Honor Flight. Most of the vets had served in World War II and were given the opportunity to take the daylong journey to visit landmarks such as Arlington National Cemetery, the Lincoln Memorial, the Korean War Veterans Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the National World War II Memorial.

Among those taking the historic trip was City Council candidate Liam McCabe, who accompanied his 94-year-old grandfather Charlie Kerr on his first visit to the nation’s capital. McCabe called his grandfather his role model.

“Charlie Kerr, my mother’s fa-ther, was born and raised in Bay Ridge. He lived through the Great Depression here in Bay Ridge, and he went to Our Lady of Angels grammar school.”

The flight was a bonding experience for McCabe and Kerr.

The proud veteran told his grandson stories that he’d never shared with him before about growing up in Brooklyn during the 1930s and ’40s.

During those years, Kerr raised a family, worked for the United States Postal Service, was a member of St. Anselm parish and was a diehard Yankees fan. McCabe called him “a very straight-laced guy, an upstanding citizen, the bedrock of the community and of my life.”

At least that’s what McCabe had already known about his grandfather. On the flight, he discovered more facets to his story. McCabe learned that with jobs being scarce during the Great Depression, Kerr decided to leave school after the eighth grade in search of work. He left home at 14 with a friend, hopped aboard a freight train and traveled to Pennsylvania and then Ohio.

Kerr told McCabe that he lived in Hoovervilles (shantytowns built by the homeless during the Great Depression and named after President Herbert Hoover), and befriended the hobos in the train yards along the way. It was a means of survival as he continued to wander further away from home, he said.

Kerr’s friend, who had originally left Brooklyn with him, decided to return home.

Kerr chose to continue traveling alone and ended up in a small rural town down South.

While wandering aimlessly around looking for work, he passed out in the street and was taken in by a compassionate farmer. The farmer listened to Kerr’s story and let him stay at his house and work on the farm.

After a few months, the farmer convinced Kerr that he had to go home to his family.

Kerr’s mother welcomed him home with open arms and his father eventually forgave him for running away.

Kerr then found a job with Western Union, and just when things had seemed to stabilize for him, World War II broke out and he joined the Army, where he was among the soldiers who landed on the beaches of Normandy and fought in the Battle of the Bulge.

Upon his return from the war, Kerr met a young girl named Eleanor, whom he eventually would marry. They originally settled in the Bronx, where they had two children, McCabe’s mother Joann and a son Ronald. By the early 1950s, the neighborhood they lived in had become too dangerous, so the family moved back to Bay Ridge.

McCabe became involved with the Honor Flight while working with U.S. Rep. Dan Donovan. “While working with Donovan, the Honor Flight committee approached us, asking if they could work with us to promote the flight by reaching out to veterans. We put a press release out about it and helped advertise it.”

The Honor Flight veterans and their sponsors first gathered at Floyd Bennett Field at 6 a.m. “There were so many people there,” McCabe said, “[Sen.] Marty Golden was there.

We were just hanging out and eating bagels, when all of a sudden, all the veterans started talking to each other. My grandfather was one of the older vets there.”

When the veterans were escorted to JFK International Airport for the flight, they were greeted by a long line of state troopers, police officers, soldiers and sailors who stood up and applauded the veterans as they boarded the plane.

McCabe said that his grandfather was especially moved when they visited the National WW II Memorial.

“That just overwhelmed him. My grandfather is not a guy who cries a lot, but I could see a tear in his eye when they said, ‘Welcome to your memorial.’ That hit him hard. It was a little jarring for him to see that this memorial was here for him.”

The experience so moved McCabe that he has vowed to hire a veteran for his administration should he be elected to the City Council. McCabe is one of three Republicans running in the Sept. 12 primary.

Bob Capano and John Quaglione are also running for the GOP nomination. The Democrats running for the Council seat in the 43rd District are Justin Brannan, Kevin Peter Carroll, Rev. Khader El-Yateem and Nancy Tong.

“I also want to focus on getting our younger veterans linked back into the American Legion, because they are not as involved as they should be. Otherwise we will lose the VFW [Veterans of Foreign Wars] and the Legion.”

McCabe believes that the culture has changed and it troubles him to think that Americans have become less patriotic. “I think we’ve become more disjointed, more racialized, more secular, more broken and less patriotic. There used to be more of a homogenous culture and I think that’s what brought people from different races and backgrounds together. You were a veteran. There was a commonality that was interwoven through American culture. Everyone was more patriotic. I want patriotism to be okay again, and I want us to recognize the service of our veterans.”

As far as the Honor Flight program, McCabe said he would back it 100 percent.

“These guys absolutely deserve every penny, so anything I could do help get them funding I would do. And from a promotional sense, they won’t find a better promoter. I am going to make sure everybody knows about it.

“The Honor Flight serves as closure for many of these veterans. It may be the last time they get together to celebrate their legacy.”

INSET: Liam McCabe with his grandfather Charlie Kerr and state Sen. Marty Golden.

Curtis Sliwa Joins Bob Capano in Calling for Release Of City-Funded Study of ‘Intravenous Injection Centers’ City Council Candidate Says City Hall Is Stalling to Protect Mayor’s Re-Election Bid

By John Alexander Brooklyn Eagle

In March, City Council candidate Bob Capano received an endorsement from Guardian Angels founder and popular WABC radio personality Curtis Sliwa. Now Sliwa is joining Capano in calling for the release of a city funded study of intravenous injection centers.

Capano, a candidate for the 43rd City Council District (Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Bensonhurst, Bath Beach) announced on Tuesday that Sliwa has joined his call on City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and the City Council to provide the status of what he referred to as a long overdue $100,000 taxpayer funded study. Capano called the delay a stall tactic to hide the plan from voters before the general election.

According to Capano, in September 2016 the New York City Council announced that the city would allocate $100,000 in taxpayer funds for the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to conduct a six-month study on the feasibility of opening “Supervised Injection Facilities” in New York City. These centers would allow addicts to inject illicit drugs like heroin under medical supervision with sterile syringes in a safe and clean setting, while the taxpayers of New York pay for it.

Capano claims that the de Blasio administration has refused to comment on the status of the

study and that Mark-Viverito’s office has not returned calls from Capano seeking an update.

Sliwa said, “In the 1990s I and the Guardian Angels, while patroling the East End of Vancouver British Columbia came across the new supervised injection facilities that were opening for the first time in that city. Vancouver then and now has a serious heroin problem. The first result of the injection facilities opening up is that there were more heroin junkies coming in from other parts of Canada to take advantage of Vancouver leading the way.”

Sliwa claimed that this added to the growing heroin epidemic in Canada. “The other problem is that you had to first buy your heroin in the streets from street dealers and then use that for your fix in the injection facilities. With the increase in junkies coming into the east end of Vancouver, it

brought an increase in dealers. The purpose given was that this would create harm reduction for the junkies. It would slow the spread of HIV and hepatitis C. The only result I saw was that it attracted more junkies into the neighborhoods with injection facilities and more heroin dealers.”

This all should serve as a warning to the U.S., according to Sliwa. “Based on the experience of Vancouver British Columbia, why would we open up injection facilities in New York City where we already have a growing problem of use of heroin when in fact it would attract more junkies into the neighborhoods with the sites and more dealers. This study and plan is doomed to failure.”

Capano told the Brooklyn Eagle, “Curtis Sliwa’s experiences in Vancouver with the Guardian Angels confirms exactly what I have been saying — opening heroin injection facili-

ties in local neighborhoods will only attract more drug dealers and addicts. If you think there has been a rise in car and home robberies now, imagine what will happen if one of these facilities opens in our community when addicts are walking in the area looking to get money for their fix any way they can.”

Capano views the study as a waste of taxpayer money, adding, “You don’t need a Ph.D. from Harvard to know these facilities would be bad news.”

Capano is running for the Republican Party’s nomination for the City Council seat currently held by Democrat Vincent Gentile, who cannot run for reelection due to term limits.

Other Republicans running for Gentile’s seat are Liam McCabe, Lucretia Regina-Potter and John Quaglione.

The Democrats running are Justin Brannan, Kevin Peter Carroll, Vincent Chirico, Rev. Khader El-Yateem and Nancy Tong.

Both the Republican and Democratic primaries take place on Sept. 12. The winner of each party will compete in the general election on Nov. 2.

UFA Endorses Quaglione for City Council

By John Alexander Brooklyn Eagle

Last week, City Council candidate John Quaglione received the endorsement of the Uniformed Firefighters Association (UFA) of Greater New York. Quaglione, the former deputy chief of staff to state Sen. Marty

Golden, is running to win the 43rd District City Council seat currently held by Vincent Gentile.

Gentile cannot run again due to term limits.

District 43 includes Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights and Bensonhurst.

Quaglione received the endorsement in front of Engine 284/Ladder 149 in Dyker Heights.

Those in attendance included Golden, UFA President Gerard Fitzgerald, UFA Vice President LeRoy C. McGinnis, Brooklyn Trustee Chairman of the Board John G. Kelly Jr. and Fire Marshal representative Steven Tagliani.

Fitzgerald said he was proud to support Quaglione on behalf of more than 8,500 members of the union. “The 43rd District deserves someone who cares deeply about this community, someone who understands its needs and is going to be willing to fight for them every day in the City Council,” said Fitzgerald.

Fitzgerald went on to praise Quaglione’s continued support of FDNY. “We know he will continue to be a strong advocate for firefighters and their families,” added Fitzgerald. “Already he’s come out strong against the wasteful constitutional convention ballot measure, spoke out in support of protecting our earned benefits and has pledged that while he is in office fire stations like the one right here behind me will never be threatened to shut down.”

Golden, a retired NYPD officer, said, “To have the New York City Fire Department endorsing John Quaglione says a whole lot.”

Golden praised the brave firefighters who were present during 9/11. “We didn’t know what we were doing. Everybody was running away.

But the firefighters knew what they were doing.

Everybody was running out of the buildings, while they were running in. And they paid the most … 343 lives that day, and subsequently thousands since then. So, to me, a former New York City police officer, I was always proud to serve side by side with our Fire Department.”

Quaglione thanked UFA for its endorsement and said that never in his wildest dreams growing up did he imagine he would be standing with the most respected Fire Department in the world, “that’s revered by people from Brooklyn to Beijing because there’s a heroism in New York City and in the FDNY that you can’t find anywhere else.”

He said that he recalled being at a book sale in the first grade and having to select a book.

He bought one called “I Want to Be a Firefighter.” He explained that since he was 6 or 7 years old he has admired the work that firefighters do.

He said that it was a special honor to be endorsed by UFA and that he looked forward to “standing up for your rights and standing up for the firehouses throughout our district.”

Quaglione has previously received endorsements from Golden, the John Jay College Republicans and the Port Authority Sergeants Benevolent Association.
