Pedestrian deaths raise alarm bells for Bensonhurst officials BY PAULA KATINAS
PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM
It’s getting dangerous out there. The death of a 64-year-old man who was struck by a car on Cropsey Avenue on June 9 is raising concerns among neighborhood officials about street safety. The victim, Faquan Li, was crossing the street at the intersection of Cropsey and 16th avenues at around 4 p.m. when he was hit by a 2016 GMC Yukon driven by 47-year-old Kamil Aldawaliby, police said. Li was rushed to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn, where he later died. “It was very sad. And there have been other incidents as well,” said Laurie Windsor, chairperson of Community Board 11’s Transportation Committee. The neighborhood is still mourning the death last month of Emur Shavkator, a threeyear-old boy who was struck and killed by a van at Cropsey Avenue and Bay 25th Street. The child was riding a small
scooter when he was hit, police said. DOT plans to install a traffic light at the corner where little Emur was killed [See other story on this page]. “DOT takes every fatality on our roadways seriously, and has a proactive program of redesigning streets to reduce tragedies like this one. As with all locations where a fatal crash occurs, DOT evaluates the design of the street and the circumstances of the crash in order to improve the safety of that location,” a DOT spokesperson told the Home Reporter in an email. In another incident, which wasn’t deadly but led to serious injuries, a truck driver allegedly mounted the sidewalk at 86th Street and Bay 34th Street, crashed into a Malaysian restaurant and then smashed into a pillar of the D train el. Two people were injured in the bizarre crash. Earlier this year, a spate of fatal car crashes, including the death of a 77-year-old woman on Bay 32nd Street on Jan. 3, led Board 11 officials to ask the Department of Transportation
to come into the community to conduct an outreach effort to teach drivers and pedestrians about street safety. Board 11 District Manager Marnee Elias-Pavia said DOT gave detailed presentations at the Federation of Italian-Americans Organizations of Brooklyn and the Chinese American Social Services Center focusing on driver awareness and offering safety tips to pedestrians. “We would be willing to do it again. If there is a community organization that wants to host the DOT, we would bring them together,” she told the Home Reporter on Tuesday. Board 11 covers parts of Bensonhurst, Bath Beach, Mapleton and Gravesend. “There has been an increase in pedestrian deaths in our area,” Elias-Pavia said. “I have the feeling that things are out of control out there,” Windsor said. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly why these crashes are happening, according to Windsor. “I don’t think it’s just one thing. In some cases, the driver is speeding. But there are also

cases where the pedestrian jumps out from between two parked cars. It does seem to me that people have no regard for traffic laws anymore. People go through red lights all the time,” Windsor said. DOT has had Board 11 in its sights before. Sections of Bath Beach and Bensonhurst fall under the agency’s Safe Streets
for Seniors program. Under Safe Streets for Seniors, DOT experts take a close look at areas with large populations of senior citizens, studying crash data and looking at factors contributing to potentially unsafe conditions for older pedestrians. If DOT finds that action is needed, the agency develops senior-friendly safety improve-
ments like adjusting pedestrian signals to give people more time to get across the street, installing pedestrian safety islands in the middle of the street and erecting new signage. Under the program, DOT works in partnership with the city’s Department for the Aging to conduct public outreach to senior citizens.
of Transportation to take a quick action and approve a traffic light at that intersection,” he said in a statement. Still, Colton said he is relieved to finally see action. “I am happy that a traffic light will be installed which will hopefully avoid any more innocent lives taken at that extremely dangerous intersection,” he said. Councilmember Mark Treyger, a Democrat who represents Coney Island, Gravesend and parts of Bensonhurst, said more needs to be done. “This traffic light is a step towards increasing awareness of pedestrians and cyclists at this intersection, but I’m calling
for more traffic calming measures — daylighting and speed cameras — for this intersection and other problematic streets in my district. The Department of Transportation needs to take a proactive and holistic, not reactive, approach to street design that protects and increases the safety of our motorists, cyclists and pedestrians,” he told the Home Reporter in an email. The traffic light on the corner of Benson Avenue and Bay 25th Street will have a legacy, according to Democratic Councilmember Justin Brannan. “This is a red light that the neighborhood has been request-
ing for years. It will now serve as a reminder that three-year-old Emur tragically and needlessly lost his life at this intersection. My hope is that we will learn from this tragedy so it never happens again,” said Brannan, whose district includes Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights and parts of Bensonhurst, Bath Beach and Gravesend. DOT officials did not return messages from the Home Reporter. But in the immediate aftermath of the boy’s death, a spokesperson said the agency planned to take a look into potential safety enhancements for the intersection.
DOT to install traffic light at deadly Bath Beach corner BY PAULA KATINAS
PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM
The Department of Transportation is making plans to install a traffic light at a dangerous Bath Beach intersection where a three-year-old boy was struck and killed by a delivery van last month, Assemblymember William Colton announced. DOT officials contacted Colton by letter on June 6 and informed him that the agency had completed a study and approved a traffic light for the corner of Benson Avenue and Bay 25th Street. The traffic device will be installed later this year, according to Colton, a Democrat whose district includes Gravesend and parts of Bath Beach and Bensonhurst.
The city’s action comes a month after a death that shook the entire neighborhood. Emur Shavkator was struck and killed on May 3 by a van whose driver was on his way to making candy deliveries to 86th Street stores. The driver was traveling up Bay 25th Street and was making a right turn onto Benson Avenue when he hit the child, police said. Emur was riding a child’s scooter when he was struck by the van, police said. He was rushed to Coney Island Hospital, where he died. The driver, a 61-year-old man from Bensonhurst, was charged with failure to yield to a pedestrian and failure to exercise due care, police said. Emur’s death led to calls by elected officials and street safety advocates for DOT to
install a traffic light. A few days after the fatal crash, lawmakers joined members of Families for Safe Streets, a group founded by parents whose children were killed by drivers, for a candlelight vigil at the intersection. Colton said that while he was pleased to hear from DOT that a traffic light is coming, he is still frustrated by what he termed a slow response of the agency. His office has been requesting a light at that corner since 2013, he said. “What really bothers me here is that a three year-old child had to pay with his life in order for the New York City Department

Campaign for Children holds rally at City Hall for pre-K funding parity BY JOHN ALEXANDER JALEXANDER @BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM
The dispute between community-based providers of preK and the Department of Education regarding inequitable funding within the city’s Pre-K for All program reached City Hall on Thursday June 6. The core issue is that public schools are far more generously funded, per pupil, than their community-based counterparts. Council Speaker Corey Johnson admitted during the rally that a DOE teacher with a Master’s who’s been teaching eight years earns about $85,000 a year, while the same teacher at a CBO would earn around $49,000 annually.
Bay Ridge’s CBOs for Equity participated in the rally, as well as Borough President Eric Adams, New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer and Brooklyn City Councilmembers Mark Treyger, Mathieu Eugene, Laurie Cumbo and Antonio Reynoso. “This rally is asking for parity,” said Adams. “You cannot talk about pre-K for all if you don’t have equity for all. Something is diabolically wrong.” “What’s amazing about our city’s priorities is that the people we trust with our children, we’re not willing to pay them what they deserve,” said Stringer. He said momentum was building to rectify the situation.
Treyger, who chairs the Council’s Committee on Education, called on the mayor to address the issue. “Mr. Mayor,” he said, “you’ve adopted one of Charles Dickens’ themes of ‘A Tale of Two Cities.’Let’s end the tale of two salaries once and for all.” Contacted for comment, Will Baskin-Gerwitz, a mayoral spokesperson, told the Home Reporter in an email, “We’ve listened to the concerns of community-based organizations and made changes to the early childhood RFPs in response,” he said, “and we’ll continue to work together with these organizations to recruit, retain and grow a talented workforce that serves New York City’s children and families.”

Vandals scrawls anti-Semitic hate on Bay Ridge mailbox BY PAULA KATINAS
PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM
The NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force is investigating a case in which an anti-Semitic message was discovered on a mailbox at Fourth Avenue and 95th Street, outside St. Patrick Catholic Church in Bay Ridge, on June 5. The vandal wrote the words “Kill All Jews” on the front of the
mailbox, as well as a haphazard attempt at a swastika. There were two other messages left by the vandal — one that read “Israel Now” and another bearing the name of the late former New York governor, Mario Cuomo. The U. S. Postal Service was notified about the hate crime and replaced the mailbox. Councilmember Justin Brannan, a Democrat who represents Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights and
parts of Bensonhurst, said public awareness is a key to fighting hate. “We all have a responsibility to call out hate in whatever form it takes — because where antiSemitism exists and persists, so do xenophobia, Islamophobia and homophobia. Hate thrives when we are divided and silence begets complicity. We cannot be afraid to say hate is not welcome here,” Brannan told the Home

Reporter in an email. “I have already begun reaching out to religious leaders across my district and plan to bring us together in the near future to discuss how we can respond as a community to these atrocities,” said Assemblymember Mathylde Frontus, a Democrat representing Coney Island and parts of Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights. “These writings called for the killing of all Jewish people and must be condemned and denounced in the strongest terms. It is shameful that on the eve of the anniversary of D-Day, where thousands of American heroes gave their lives to eliminate this kind of hatred, this ideology rears its ugly head in our community,” Assemblymember Malliotakis said in a statement. U.S. Rep. Max Rose, who is Jewish, called the mailbox incident jarring. “It’s jarring that hate crimes are surging in New York City, with attacks on Jews almost doubling since last year. This cannot continue.” said Rose, a Democrat representing Southwest Brooklyn and Staten Island. The Bay Ridge incident
Slow mail service puts stamp on residents’ anger Rose holds round table with USPS to search for answers BY PAULA KATINAS
PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM
Postal carriers are routinely putting letters in the wrong mail boxes in Dyker Heights, according to local residents with a litany of complaints against the U.S. Postal Service, including deliveries to wrong addresses, broken and insecure mailboxes, and leaving packages in unsafe places. U.S. Rep. Max Rose, who represents the area, invited USPS officials and community leaders to a May 30 round table to talk about issues plaguing the
Dyker Heights Post Office, as well as post offices in Bath Beach, Gravesend and Homecrest. “My constituents depend on USPS to deliver checks, packages and important documents and failure to do so, or doing so in a way which allows for theft, has grave consequences,” Rose said in a statement. “It’s a serious problem,” Dyker Heights Civic Association President Fran VellaMarrone told the Home Reporter. “What happens if you’re expecting a bill or an important letter and it’s sitting
in somebody else’s mailbox?” Vella-Marrone said it has happened to her neighbors. “I’m always bringing my neighbors their mail,” she said. Josephine Beckmann, district manager of Community Board 10, which covers Dyker Heights and Bay Ridge, said it’s not just late mail delivery that is causing headaches for residents, but also postal workers parking USPS delivery trucks on the street. “CB10 regularly receives neighborhood complaints about noise and parking of large Post Office delivery

trucks on residential streets as well as late and missed deliveries,” Beckmann said. Marnee Elias-Pavia, district manager of Community Board 11 (Bath BeachBensonhurst), said her community is experiencing the same issue. Postal officials made a commitment to work with elected officials and community leaders to resolve the parking issues and delivery issues in these communities. Postal officials also promised to increase package delivery safety, provide updates on the installation of phishing-proof mailboxes and provide mail scam warnings in languages other than English, Rose said. USPS representatives did not return messages from this newspaper.
comes as the city grapples with a sharp increase in hate crimes. There have been 184 hate crimes so far this year, the New York Times reported. That’s a 64 per-
cent increase over last year, when 112 incidents were reported. The Times reported that the vast majority of the hate crime incidents are anti-Semitic.
Forum on diversity in specialized high schools favors ‘objective’ admissions exam BY MEAGHAN MCGOLDRICK
MMCGOLDRICK @BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM
A Friday night forum on diversity in schools and the fate of the Specialized High School Admissions Test made clear how a bulk of southern Brooklyn parents and educators feel about the mayor’s proposal to eliminate the exam. The June 7 event, hosted by State Sens. Andrew Gounardes, John Liu and Robert Jackson, packed the I.S. 201 auditorium in Dyker Heights where, for two hours at the start of the weekend, parents, educators and even kids testified, primarily in favor of the test. The SHSAT is currently administered to eighth and ninth-grade students to determine admission to all but one of the city’s specialized high schools. The mayor and Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza are pushing to eliminate the SHSAT in hopes of upping racial diversity in the top high schools like Brooklyn Technical High School and Peter Stuyvesant High School, which currently enroll low numbers of black and Latino students. The incoming freshman class at Stuyvesant High School, for example, has only seven black students, according to Chalkbeat. Yet,
black and Latino students make up 68 percent of the overall population in New York City schools, according to the Mayor’s Office. Under de Blasio’s plan, the SHSAT would be replaced by a new enrollment system that would allow the top seven percent of students in each of the city’s middle schools to gain admission to specialized high schools. “No student in the city is denied the freedom to work hard and get into a better school,” said the first speaker, Leong Cho, who maintained that, while diversity is important, eliminating the SHSAT, which Cho called a “completely objective” gauge, isn’t the solution. The SHSAT encourages a “work ethic to which every student in the city should aspire,” According to Community Education Council 20 President Adele Doyle. Despite what appears to be constant pushback to the mayor’s plan, a Quinnipiac poll released earlier this year showed broad support for overhauling the admissions process. In it, 63 percent of New York City voters said they favored admissions changes to boost diversity, with 57 percent on board with scrapping the entrance exam entirely. — Additional reporting by Paula Katinas

Car chase through Bay Ridge ends in arrest BY JAIME DEJESUS
JDEJESUS @BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM
One suspect was arrested after allegedly stealing a vehicle, speeding and assaulting a bystander who tried to aid cops following a vehicle pursuit during rush hour in Bay Ridge According to authorities,
on June 4 at around 6:29 p.m., police were conducting speed enforcement on the westbound side of the BrooklynQueens Expressway when they saw two cars — a 2019 Mercedes Benz and a Dodge Challenger — driving at a high rate of speed. When officers attempted to pull both vehicles over, the operator of the Dodge
Challenger fled the location and 17-year-old Kevin Mejia, who was driving the Mercedes, was taken into custody. According to the police, prior to the arrest, Mejia allegedly attempted to flee on foot and was subdued by a good Samaritan who was injured in the process. One witness claims the driver of the Dodge went against
traffic on a highway ramp at 86 Street and Gatling Place. Mejia was charged with criminal possession of stolen property in the third degree, reckless endangerment in the second degree, assault in the third degree, unauthorized use of a vehicle, criminal possession of stolen property in the fifth degree, and speed violation: posted limit.
A second suspect, a woman, is now being sought in connection with a series of pocketbook thefts which were perpetrated by a man on a motorcycle. One incident took place in Bensonhurst. A new image of the suspects has also been released by the NYPD. According to authorities, early in the morning of May 2, a 31-year-old woman was walking on 67th Street between 18th and 19th Avenues when the stickyfingered biker tried to steal her bag by pushing her to the ground. The perp, who wasn’t able to grab the bag, fled westbound on 67th Street. The victim was taken to a local hospital and treated for minor injuries. The biker bandit was more successful on the afternoon of April 29 when he grabbed a bag containing a laptop and wallet with credit cards inside, by reaching through the passenger-side window of a car driven by a 46-yearold woman that was stopped
at Ditmas Avenue and East Seventh Street for a light. On May 1, just before 9 p.m., the thief struck at Kings Highway and East 21st Street, grabbing a 66-year-old woman’s pocketbook while he whizzed by on his bike. He did the same thing, two days later, at around 6:40 p.m., at the intersection of Ocean and Shore parkways, taking off with a purse he had filched from a 40-year-old woman who was standing there. Police say the suspect was last seen riding a Suzuki motorcycle, and wearing a black and red helmet, a black waist-length jacket, gray sweatpants, black sneakers and black gloves. Anyone with information in regards to these incidents is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crimestoppers website at www.nypdcrimestoppers.com, on Twitter @NYPDTips or by texting their tips to 274637 (CRIMES) then entering TIP577.

Bay Ridge Community Council salutes two civic leaders at annual dinner dance BY JOHN ALEXANDER JALEXANDER@BROOKLYNEAGLE. COM
O
ne of Brooklyn’s most venerable civic organizations, the Bay Ridge Community Council, celebrated its 68th anniversary with a gala dinner dance on Tuesday, June 4 at the Rex Manor catering hall. Community service and volunteerism were the themes of the evening as the BRCC swore in its new slate of officers and honored Northfield Bank Vice President and Branch Manager Brian Chin and Bay Ridge Center Executive Director Marianne Nicolosi for going above and beyond in their dedication and service to the community. Newly installed BRCC President Ralph Succar, who will be serving his fourth non-consecutive term as president of the organization, hosted the event. Community Board 10 District Manager Josephine Beckmann led the Pledge of Allegiance, Patrick Colabella performed the national anthem and Rev. Paul Knudsen offered the invocation. Ba rba ra Ve l l u c c i , administrator of the Kassenbrock Brothers Memorial Scholarship Fund, delivered the 2019 Kassenbrock Fund report before the Hon. Theresa Ciccotto presided over the installation of officers. Succar explained that, “The Bay Ridge Community Council was established in 1951 to promote the quality of life in the neighborhoods of Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights and Fort Hamilton.” He presented a special award to organization member Robert Kassenbrock for his years of exemplary service to the community.
Elected officials and civic leaders attending the dinner included Beckmann; Ciccotto; City Councilmember Justin Brannan; New York State Conservative Party Chair Jerry Kassar; Brooklyn Conservative Party Chair Fran Vella-Marrone; Capt. Robert Conwell, commanding officer of the 68th Precinct; and Democratic District Leader Ralph Perfetto. Todd Fliedner, outreach and development director at the Bay Ridge Center, introduced Nicolosi. “When Marianne took over, the Bay Ridge Center was running a significant debt and was in danger of closing,” Fliedner explained. “In short order, Marianne changed all of that and since her tenure at Bay Ridge Center, the organizational budget has more than doubled, and staff has increased from 29 to 42 employees and growing.” He also praised Nicolosi for her efforts on behalf of the BRC’s Meals on Wheels program. “When Marianne took over we were serving about 400 homebound people a day and now we’re serving 675 clients,” he said. Nicolosi thanked the BRCC and credited her staff and board for helping to facilitate all the good work that the organization has accomplished, explaining, “When I came to Bay Ridge, I thought I’d found the dream job in the universe because it is wellknown that people in Bay Ridge support their aging adults,” adding, “I’m so glad you bestowed this award on an outsider from Windsor Terrace.” Attorney Robert Howe, president of the Merchants of Third Avenue,

Howe said that Chin’s hobbies were volunteering for and being a leader in almost every community organization in Bay Ridge. “When people run away when volunteers are asked for, Brian runs towards them,” said Howe. “He is an ambassador for our community and a tireless worker
for Third Avenue and the Bay Ridge community.”

at least 1855, when Walt Whitman published his epic poem Leaves of Grass at a print shop in Brooklyn Heights, there has been a significant – if often overlooked – LGBTQ presence in the borough, much of it clustered along the waterfront, where industrial jobs, cheap housing, and urban anonymity life provided unique opportunities for queer people to explore their own desires and discover one another.

NOBODY PROMISED YOU TOMORROW: ART 50 YEARS AFTER STONEWALL
Nobody Promised You Tomorrow: Art 50 Years After Stonewall commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising — a six-day clash between police and civilians ignited by a routine raid on the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in New York City — and explores its profound legacy within contemporary art and visual
culture today. The exhibition draws its title from the rallying words of transgender artist and activist Marsha P. Johnson, underscoring both the precariousness and the vitality of LGBTQ+ communities. The exhibition presents twenty-eight LGBTQ+ artists born after 1969 whose works grapple with the unique conditions of our political time, and question how moments become monuments. Through painting, sculpture, installation, performance, and video, these artists engage interconnected themes of revolt, commemoration, care, and desire. When: Daily through December 8th, 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. Where: Crown Heights/ Brooklyn Museum (200 Eastern Parkway)

His hope was to present a work that people could walk by and admire. “The students painted the entire piece with each section being a personal interpretation, and then framing those expressions as a colorful reminder of all the things that bring us love, pursuing joy
JALEXANDER@BROOKLYNEAGLE. COM
It’s not surprising that young Sally Kabel, known as ‘Sweet Sally Sunshine’ continues to inspire good will and compassion nearly a year after her death. Sally died on Wednesday, Sept. 19, 2018 suddenly, following a nearly lifelong battle with leukemia and other complications. Her death not only devastated her heartbroken family but an entire community that had rallied behind her in her brave battle with cancer. Fifth through eighth grade students from Lutheran Elementary School at 440 Ovington Avenue in Bay Ridge banded together to create three mural panels depicting things that meant something to Sally, such as Mickey and Minnie Mouse, pizza and a yellow butterfly. They presented the murals to the community on a beautiful sunny Thursday in June. “Sally had such a big impact on this neighborhood. She really brought people together like nobody else has, at least in the 15 years I’ve lived here,” her father Matt Kabel told this paper. “It’s heartwarming for
or ultimately trying to find peace in this world,” explained Wisneski. Matt Kabel called the students’ work heartwarming and a testament to Sally’s legacy. “She was the great uniter in Bay Ridge,” Kabel said. “It didn’t matter who you were, what your race was, what your political party was. None of it mattered and everyone came together. And then when we get to see mementos like these come to life in our neighborhood, it’s hopefully a reminder to everybody that there’s more that unites us than divides us,” he added.

our family to see people that don’t even have a direct connection with her are keeping her memory alive and everything that she stood for.” St. Nicholas Home, a senior living facility located directly across from LES, offered to let the students paint the murals on the front of its historic horse stables. LES Principal Corinne Tuccillo King said she was very grateful to St. Nicholas for
being willing to partner with the school and bring the murals to the community. “When the students were talking about the message that they wanted from our school to our Bay Ridge community, the theme of love, joy and peace resonated with them and so many of them followed Sally’s journey and were touched by her passing and what she meant to the community,” King told this paper. “They wanted to incorporate

Fontbonne beats Molloy to win JV Tier 1 City Championship BY JIM DOLAN In a repeat of last season’s JV championship game, number one seeded (11-1) Fontbonne hosted number three seeded (10-2) Molloy at Preller Park in Floral Park. After losing the 2018 championship to Molloy in a highly contested game by the narrow score of 6-5, the Bonnies were anxious for a rematch. However, this season’s rematch would be played with a strange twist, as the championship was stretched out over a two-day span as a suspended game. In a game in which Fontbonne led 2-0, Molloy came back in the seventh inning to tie the game at 2-2, sending the contest into extra innings. In the eighth inning, both teams scored a run for a 3-3 tie, just as the scheduled field time ran
out for the game to be completed. With the score tied, the umpires sent both teams off the field with instructions to finish the game the following day. FONTBONNE 4 MOLLOY 3 The next day, the suspended game resumed in the top of the ninth inning with Molloy placing a runner on second base as per “International Tie Breaker” rules. With Molloy’s first batter at the plate, catcher Belle Wren dropped Brianna Alicandro’s first pitch which rolled in front of home plate. Alertly seeing Molloy’s Emily Velez breaking from second in an attempt to steal third, Wren fired down to third baseman Alia Mansour who applied the tag on Velez for a crucial first out. With Molloy’s potential scoring threat eliminated,

Fontbonne’s Julia DeLuca (kneeling center), who drove in the winning run to beat Molloy 4-3 in extra innings for the 2019 GCHSAA JV Tier 1 City Championship, was given the honor of holding the school’s plaque. Fontbonne’s Alicandro settled into her dominant pitching stride to strike out the two remaining Stanner batters to end
the top half of the ninth inning. Commenting on Alicandro’s performance on the mound, Assistant Coach Mark Surduya
stated, “I had every confidence in Brianna to pitch to Molloy; once she starts throwing, no one can catch up to her.”
To start the bottom of the ninth inning, Fontbonne placed Mari Alonge on second base as Val Campanella came to the plate. “Showing bunt” all the way, Campanella pushed the ball down to first base for the sacrifice out, allowing Alonge to reach third. With a runner only 60 feet away from scoring, the hot hitting Julia DeLuca came to the plate and smacked the ball up the middle to score Alonge for the JV championship. “We practiced long and hard to finally win this game,” said the excited freshman catcher Wren. “We took advantage of the time between games last night to eat pizza and relax, and went over our strategy to win this game. We even practiced our bunting on the bus ride over to the field!”

Narrows Community Theater announces Betty Kash Scholarship Award winners BY JOHN ALEXANDER JALEXANDER@BROOKLYNEAGLE. COM
The Narrows Community Theater, one of Bay Ridge’s premier entertainment organizations, has announced the winners of this year’s Betty Kash Scholarship Awards. On May 2, Sophia Imbriale of Holy Angels Catholic Academy, Reese Bannon of I.S. 201 and Samantha Diaz of P.S./I.S. 30 all received the prestigious Betty Kash Scholarship. The Narrows Community Theater was founded in 1971 by community leaders David Forsyth, Jim Moakler, Maureen Barry and Tony Micari, along with original board members Michael and Helen Sullivan, Emil and Rosalind Nejame, Bett y Johnson, Patricia Olsen, Dawn Barry Hansen, Ray Peterson and Lola Kendzerskia among others. The first show they staged was “Anything Goes” in 1971. Recent critically-acclaimed productions include “Mamma Mia,” “Into the Woods,” “The Pirates of Penzance in Concert” and “A Wonderful Life: The Musical.” “One of our goals was to bring quality and affordable theater to the Bay Ridge area,” said Hansen. “And many people have worked very hard to accomplish those goals and believe that NCT has

2019 Betty Kash Scholarship Award winners Samantha Diaz, Sophia Imbriale and Reese Bannon with Steve Jacobs and Dawn Barry Hansen. accomplished what it set out to do.” According to Hansen, Kash was a longtime member of NCT who, in addition to performing and directing, loved working with children and sharing her
talents and love of theater with them. “She did so many things with NCT,” said Hansen. “She worked tirelessly on many shows, she directed shows, wrote plays and coached our
actors. She also performed and entertained whenever she could. She brought so much joy and her wonderful talent to our group.” Kash died in February 2012. “When she passed she asked
that in lieu of flowers donations should be made to Narrows Community Theater,” said Hansen. “When we thought of what to do with the money that came in, we decided to make a scholarship in her name
for eighth grade graduating students who were going on to pursue careers in theater, music, dance and vocal training.” Since 2012, 17 deserving students have been awarded the Betty Kash Scholarship.
Dyker Height resident receives 10K scholarship to Boston University in Milken Scholars program BY JAIME DEJESUS JDEJESUS@BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM
A star is rising in Dyker Heights. Student Andy Wang, who recently graduated from Staten Island Technical High School and is an I.S. 201 Dyker Heights Intermediate School alum, was recently named one of six New York members of the Milken Scholar Class of 2019. The program will award Wang a $10,000 scholarship when he attends Boston University this fall. The Dyker Heights resident, who has a passion for science, was nominated by his school, and learned in May he was chosen as a recipient. He was thrilled to receive the news. “It was pretty surreal and a big shock,” said Wang. Wang was a student researcher at New York University’s Applied Research Innovations in Science and Engineering program.

Andy Wang
“Until then, I only had a vague idea of what researching in a legitimate university laboratory was like,” said Wang. “I’m grateful for professors that took their time to take in high school students.” He also was a part of MIT’s Online Science Technology and Engineering Community, exploring scientific writing, science and engineering online. The program involved a lot of online coursework, but for one week in August, Wang and other students visited MIT’s campus. “Going there and meeting high school students interested in the same field from all across the US was very inspiring,” said Wang. Wang spent his childhood in a small town in Illinois where he spent much of his time outdoors. In high school, that interest in the natural world transformed into an interest in biology, which has only grown from there. When he attends Boston University, Wang plans to study environmental science.
At 12 Wang moved from Illinois to Brooklyn, where he began attending I.S. 201. “All the students at the school were pretty academically ambitious. I think being in that type of environment inspired me to work a little harder and prepare for the test for SI Tech High School,” he said. Wang’s parents grew up in China, and neither received even a high school education. They pushed their son to take advantage of the opportunities they didn’t have, and Wang learned from an early age to take academics seriously. Thanks to their support, Wang’s efforts seem to have paid off. Phyllis and Sidney Bresler with the Robert I. Schattner Foundation, Inc., which helps sponsor the New York City Milken Scholars, discussed the Milken Scholarship in a joint statement. “Despite significant obstacles, these extraordinary students continue to not only persevere, but shine, and we look forward to seeing what their bright futures will hold.”

I’m haunted by a church. It looks like a ghostly gray castle in a dream — an abandoned castle. Two 80-foot turrets with pointy roofs flank its front entrance. You might have glimpsed them from Fort Greene Park’s hilltop, which is a block away. Did you realize you were seeing the Church of St. Michael-St. Edward? When you leave the park and go hunting for this house of worship, you find it’s at 108 St. Edwards St. at the edge of the Ingersoll Houses. I’m bowled over by the beauty of a whole bunch of Brooklyn churches. But I think St. Michael-St. Edward is the loveliest one of all. Two things haunt me about this stately Fort Greene icon: • Its grandeur. • The fact that it has been closed for eight years and isn’t landmarked. What will become of it? I asked a spokesperson for the diocese what it plans to do with St. Michael-St. Edward. But church officials did not give him any information with which to answer my question by deadline. The purpose of this story is to walk you around the perimeter of Fort Greene Park and show you the surrounding buildings.
A tow truck lends a touch of urban drama to this view of the Church of St. Michael-St. Edward in Fort Greene. The tower behind it is 112 St. Edwards St The park, which is located within the Fort Greene Historic District, has been on my mind these days because it was created in the 1840s thanks to campaigning by Brooklyn Eagle editor and famous poet Walt Whitman. As of course you know, everybody’s been celebrating his 200th birthday, which was May 31. But there are additional things I need to say about St. Michael-St. Edward before we start our stroll. John Jerome Deery, an architect who was especially good with ecclesiastic projects, designed the pale-hued brick Romanesque Revival house of worship. The cornerstone of the Church of St. Edward the Confessor, as it was originally called, was laid in 1891. Architectural history writer Suzanne Spellen said in a Brownstoner.com story that poor Irish parishioners raised the money for the church’s construction. It took 15 years.
THE PATRON SAINT OF ROYALTY AND TROUBLED MARRIAGES
Sadly, I’ve never been inside St. Michael-St. Edward. It’s probably not in good shape. In 2010, when the Diocese of Brooklyn decided to close it, the New York Times reported that Father John Powis had been forced to serve Mass in its basement because of falling debris in the main part of the church.

— Continued from page 26INB — New York City is full of skillful preservation architects and artisans. They know how to shore up and restore historic buildings. What about fixing up the church and turning it into a cultural center for NYCHA residents? Or how about selling or renting it to a school or a museum or some nonprofit that would put it to good use? Or how about creating an activity center for the LGBTQ+ seniors who’ll be moving into the apartment tower BFC Partners and advocacy group SAGE are building on NYCHA land at 112 St. Edwards St.? The church is right next door to the Ingersoll Senior Residences, which is what the new tower is called. Marvel Architects designed the seniors building. Its gray brick facade harmonizes with the color scheme of the church. A brief aside: If you don’t know every last detail of ecclesiastic history, St. Edward the Confessor was an 11th-century English king. According to the Catholic Herald, he is the patron saint of “troubled marriages as well as royalty.”
BROOKLYN HOSPITAL IS SELLING THE MAYNARD BUILDING
Let’s take our stroll now. Cross Myrtle Avenue and continue along St. Edwards Street, which borders Fort Greene Park. After walking a block, you come to the corner of Willoughby Street, where there’s an entrance to the park. There’s a modern 21-story tower — a very valuable tower — called the Maynard Building that belongs to The Brooklyn Hospital Center. It’s got medical-office space and 157 apartments for hospital employees. In January 2018, Crain’s New York Business reported the hospital had agreed to sell the building at 240 Willoughby St. for roughly $100 million to Rabsky Group, a residential developer.
BUILT ON AN URBAN RENEWAL SITE
The first publicly accessible documentation about the deal appeared in city Finance Department records in October 2018. This memorandum of purchase and sale agreement does not mention the price the Rabsky Group agreed to pay. The document says the hospital and Rabsky signed a sale contract in late December 2017, and that the sale must close “no later than the fourth anniversary” of the contract date. There’s still lots of time left before the clock runs out. The hospital acquired the land on which it built the Maynard Building from the New York State Urban Development Corp. in 1974, Finance Department records show. At that time, the hospital made an agreement with the City of New York that for the next 40 years, the land could be used only in ways that were specified in a Fort Greene urban renewal plan. That restriction ended in May 2013.
THE FORT GREENE HISTORIC DISTRICT’S ONLY FREESTANDING MANSION
After you get an eyeful of the Maynard Building, step into Fort Greene Park and follow the path that runs parallel to The Brooklyn Hospital Center. You’ll wind up at DeKalb Avenue, with a view of the intersection of Fort Greene Place. New apartment towers soar into the sky behind low-rise Fort Greene rowhouses. And the famous Williamsburgh Savings Bank, which is topped by a clock with four faces, is visible. Stroll on DeKalb Avenue where it borders Fort Greene Park. Most of these blocks are included in the Fort Greene Historic District. The landmarked district’s only freestanding mansion is here on a big corner lot. Its address is 1 South Portland Ave. It’s really something.
The corner house with the quirky-looking tree is 179 Washington Park. The DeKalb Avenue side of the house is red brick and has a three-sided bay. Its South Portland Avenue side is brownstone. The city Landmarks Preservation Commission’s designation report about the Fort Greene Historic District says architect Edward Kendall designed it in 1878 and builder-real estate dealer Horace Moody constructed it. The first occupant was a Vermont state legislator named Col. Nathan Turner Sprague who moved to Brooklyn and started Sprague National Bank. The current owners bought the house for $2.85 million in 2006 and converted it from an 11-unit apartment building to a two-family home, city Buildings Department and Finance Department records indicate.
INBrooklyn photos by Lore Croghan
Two especial favorites of mine, 179 Washington Park and 176 Washington Park, stand on either side of Willoughby Avenue. No, that’s not a typo. On the west side of Fort Greene Park, where the Maynard Building is located, there’s Willoughby Street. But on the east side of the park, it becomes Willoughby Avenue. Washington Park ends at Myrtle Avenue. When you turn left to complete your walk around Fort Greene Park’s perimeter, you see the vast NYCHA complex called the Walt Whitman House.
COSTLY CO-OPS AND A FEATHERY FENCE
Next to the mansion, there’s a combination Second Empire-neo-Grec brownstone at 7 South Portland Ave. that Horace Moody also constructed, the LPC designation report says. He built it in 1876. It’s currently an eight-unit co-op building. Last year, one of the apartments sold for $787,000 in an estate sale, Finance Department records show. Further down DeKalb Avenue, another corner-lot home with both brownstone and red-brick facades stands at 213 Cumberland St. It’s at the end of a row of French Second Empire houses constructed around 1867 by William A. Brush. The iron fence around the house is especially eye-catching. The top part of it’s made to look like a row of feathery arrows. On the opposite side of DeKalb Avenue, the portion of Cumberland Street that borders Fort Greene Park is called Washington Park. That was the recreation area’s original name.
WONDERFUL WASHINGTON PARK ROWHOUSES
On Washington Park, the addresses alternate between odd and even numbers from house to house. Nearly all of Washington Park stands within the Fort Greene Historic District. To give you an idea of what the homes on this street are worth, 180 Washington Park sold for $2.8 million in 2010, Finance Department records show. And 181 Washington Park was priced at $3.285 million in a 2012 sale.

OPINION THE GREATEST GENERATION
T
he Democratically-controlled New York State Assembly adjourned last Thursday, June 6, without taking up a resolution honoring those who served in the D-Day invasion of Europe. As all my readers know, last Thursday was the 75th anniversary of the invasion. I actually have no idea how this body could have ignored this important date. I wonder if any of the members realized that the first American to land on Omaha Beach was a New Yorker from Orange County. I suspect few have given a second thought to the many New Yorkers who died that day and during the eight weeks that followed prior to the Allied break-out. I often criticize what I consider to be political decisions that run contrary to my view. This is not one of those times. For the life of me I cannot understand how the
J
body could adjourn without passing this resolution. Who knows — maybe under the weight of criticism from many quarters they will pass it next week? Unfortunately for these assemblymembers, the proper date for commemoration was June 6, the day many Americans made the ultimate sacrifice to save the world from the Nazis. When I was growing up, I would often find myself at Sunday dinner with my father and uncles. They all served in World War II. In fact, so did some of my aunts, working with the American Red Cross at a facility associated with Fort Hamilton and located where the present VA hospital stands. They talked about their service, and they looked upon those who served at the time as sort of a family. In the past 10 years or so, they all passed. I know that they would
not understand how, in just the few years they have been gone, a body that is supposed to represent all New Yorkers could have failed to recognize the service of so many. Frankly, neither can I. *** The New York State Conservative Party which I chair held two successful events this past week. This past Saturday, the party held a press conference in Westchester pushing back on local and state government efforts to expand sanctuary status for illegal immigrants. In some parts of New York State, including New York City and Westchester, local governments will not cooperate with ICE by turning over illegal immigrants who are being held for committing some crimes. Those crimes in New York City include forcible touching, DWIs, forgery, some assaults and a whole variety
COMMON SENSE BY JERRY KASSAR
For the life of me I cannot understand how the body could adjourn without passing this resolution. of thefts, for starters. On a state level, two leading Democrats in the State Senate — Liz Kruger of Manhattan, the third ranking Democrat, and Jose Serrano of the Bronx — have introduced S5242 which would make New York a sanctuary state. Personally, I wonder if it violates the U.S. Constitution for a state to violate federal law. And I certainly feel elected officials who swear an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United
States who introduce or vote for sanctuary legislation are violating their oath. In addition to upholding the rule of law, sanctuary cities and other locals have made the news many times in the past few years for allowing criminals to return to the streets to commit crimes once again. In several cases, individuals were critically injured or even killed. The party, this past week, held a mixer aimed at millennials at the venerable Jack Dempsey’s over on 33rd Street in Manhattan. The 45 or so in attendance enjoyed a social evening that had a panel of Ryan Girdusky, a One America News Network host, and Harlan Hill, a Fox News commentator and member of the Trump Re-Election Campaign advisory board.
Ryan and Harlan gave frank assessments of the political environment, the job they felt the president was doing and the likelihood of him being re-elected. Naturally, they saw different paths to victory depending on who the Democratic nominee is. Neither were counting out Sanders or, for that matter, counting in Biden as the nominee. Both saw Trump having lost some strength in several states he won, but at the same time gaining strength in other states such as Minnesota, which he lost. The evening was a lot of fun. The party will be holding evenings such as this around the state with the next one in Peekskill on July 11 with Washington Examiner investigative reporter and Fox commentator Tiana Lowe.
A POINT OF PRIDE
une is Pride Month and it was in full swing In Brooklyn on Saturday, June 8. From the 5K Pride Run in Prospect Park to the multicultural Pride Festival in Park Slope to the twilight Pride Parade, it was an allday-long celebration. Pride events also draw attention to the discrimination and violence that LGBTQIA+ people continue to face. The 50th New York City Pride Parade on June 30 will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising, when patrons of the Stonewall Inn refused to be arrested for their sexuality or non-gender-conforming dress. The activism borne out of that tumultuous time spawned the LGBTQIA+ rights movement. Sadly, Pride 2019 has gotten off to a violent start. On the same day Brooklyn was celebrating, five
teenagers were arrested for a homophobic attack in London that went viral after one of the victims posted a photo of her and her partner bloodied and beaten. The day before, a Detroit man was charged with the murder of two gay men and a transgender woman, who were targeted for their sexuality. Three days before that, a gay man in Decatur, Georgia was murdered by a gunman who had called him an anti-gay slur. Two days earlier, a transgender woman was found murdered in Dallas, just two weeks after a similar victim was found. The FBI’s most recent hate crime statistics showed a 16 percent increase in crimes with an anti-LGBTQIA+ bias motivation from 2016 to 2017. The NYPD’s city crime arrest figures for the first quarter of 2019 reveal a 260 percent jump in anti-LGBTQIA+
MATTER OF FACT
offenses compared to the same period last year. For all the progress made, the fact is that being gay or transgender is becoming increasingly dangerous. For all the progress made, the fact is that being gay or transgender is becoming increasingly dangerous. Such a shift in the wrong direction has many contributing factors. Elected officials play a role in that through policy. In the past two months, the current administration has banned transgender people from serving in the military, revealed a plan to allow homeless shelters to reject trans applicants, and moved to eliminate nondiscrimination protections for transgender patients. On a more personal
BY JAY BROWN
level, people’s rhetoric plays a major role in creating an atmosphere of hate and fear. Locally, this was on display during a protest at the Gerritsen Beach Library on Thursday, June 6, during a Drag Queen Story Hour event. Drag Queen Story Hour is a national program. Its mission statement explains how the event encourages kids to celebrate gender diversity. Besides helping children develop empathy, the events provide positive role models to kids who feel differently because of their identity. Protesters took offense at their words being described as hate speech. However,
quotes they gave to local media, as well as videos posted online, captured some truly vile remarks. The protest organizer referred to the event as, “state-sponsored child abuse,” adding, “I just don’t want my children around this guy.” Another protester said, “I would also have a problem if it were a gay person,” explaining, “I want to help them out of this lifestyle. I think it’s a choice.” At one point, supporters of the event faced taunts about bestiality. The definition of hate speech is sometimes debated, as to whether it refers specifically to threatening words or simply language of prejudice against a group. If
the rhetoric of these protesters wasn’t hate speech, it certainly was hateful speech. Equating how someone chooses to dress to child abuse is hateful. Stating that you want your family kept away from people who are different from you is hateful. Wanting to change people for being who they are is hateful. Comparing the love two human beings have for each other to depraved acts with an animal is hateful. Words can inspire actions. The sort of reprehensible speech at the library protest often gives others justification for taking it a step further. It’s incumbent upon all of us that we speak out against hate and foster positive actions.

Dyker Heights Christmas Lights Display hits the big time BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM
D
yker Heights has become world famous for its Christmas Lights Display, a dazzling tradition that draws hundreds of thousands of visitors to the neighborhood each holiday season. The Dyker Heights Christmas Lights Display, which has taken place for more than 30 years and is showing no signs of slowing down, is an extravaganza that features local homeowners who try to outdo each other by erecting elaborate, over-the-top holiday decorations on their balconies and front lawns. The participating homes are decked out in millions of twinkling lights, two-story Santas, dancing reindeer, giant “Nutcracker Suite” figures, illuminated shooting stars, giant snowflakes, angels, oversized snow globes and other inventive, eye-catching show-stoppers. “It’s a wonderful event that shows Dyker Heights in a positive light. It brings residents together. It really brings out the spirit of the holiday. It’s joyous!” Community Board 10 District Manager Josephine Beckmann told the Home Reporter. The Christmas decorations are largely concentrated in the area of Dyker Heights located between 10th Avenue and 13th Avenue, from 82nd Street to 86th Street. The lights and decorations start going up the day after Thanksgiving and stay up until shortly after the New Year’s holiday. “Dyker Heights is famous for its Christmas Lights Display and with good reason,” said Dyker Heights Civic Association President Fran Vella-Marrone. “We have some of the greatest Christmas decorations in the entire country. It really is unrivaled.” Scores of homeowners

Dyker Heights homeowners plan their imaginative, elaborate Christmas decorations months in advance. take part in the Christmas Lights Display, bravely showing a willingness to have their Con Edison bills go sky-high, all in the interest of bringing holiday joy to visitors. And there are a lot of visitors! Hundreds of thousands of tourists, some from as far away as California, flock to Dyker Heights to take in the sights and sounds each year. The event is so popular, bus tour companies offer guided tours of the neighborhood to give people a chance to enjoy the Brooklyn holiday tradition. A Slice of Pizza, a Brooklyn-based company that offers tours of various neighborhoods in the borough, has a Dyker Christmas Lights tour that is so popular, it books up months in advance. Hotels in Midtown Manhattan advertise the Christmas Lights event to their out-of-town guests, a sure sign that the Brooklyn event has hit the big time. One local resident, Renea Gargiulo, started a Dyker Heights Christmas Lights page on Facebook six years ago to provide up-to-date information about the event, and has seen the page grow in popularity. In 2018, the page had a whopping 17,000 followers. “I keep getting more and more people liking the page from around the world. They always have great
things to say after they’ve visited,” Gargiulo told the Home Reporter in December. The Christmas Lights show is special for another reason, according to Vella-Marone. “It’s a wonderful expression of people’s religious faith,” she said. One homeowner, Lucy Spata, lovingly decorates her front steps with giant angels. Spata is credited by many
neighborhood residents with getting the ball rolling and starting the Christmas Lights tradition in the mid1980s. Her neighbors, the Pollizzottos, have also been erecting splashy holiday decorations for many years. For the 2018 Christmas season, Spata’s decorations included the aforementioned angels, as well as a pair of giant soldiers, several snowmen and lots
of snowflakes, the New York Post reported. “Every year I add like one or two more pieces. There’s no more room, really, but if I see something I like, I squeeze it in,” Spata told the Post. But as the Dyker Heights Christmas Lights Display has grown in popularity, concerns have been raised in recent years about traffic jams on narrow side streets
as well as an increase in noise and litter in the neighborhood, according to Community Board 10 officials and leaders of the Dyker Heights Civic Association. Board 10 and the civic association are working with the 68th Precinct and city officials to figure out how to better supervise the event. Additional reporting by Meaghan McGoldrick

Civic leader Fran Vella-Marrone talks Dyker Heights past and present
ebrooklyn media/file photo
Dyker Heights is a "family-centric community" according to DHCA President Fran Vella-Marrone. BY JOHN ALEXANDER JALEXANDER@BROOKLYNEAGLE. COM
T
here is arguably no one who knows Dyker Heights better than Fran Vella-Marrone. For over 35 years, she has been a leader in the Dyker Heights community and is the longest-serving president of the Dyker Heights Civic Association. She has
also been a political activist, neighborhood advocate and is currently the chair of the Brooklyn Conservative Party. Vella-Marrone took the time to talk with this newspaper about Dyker Heights past and present. Home Reporter: Please tell me about the history of Dyker Heights as you know it. I believe it was a resort area at one time?
FVM: Dyker Heights was established in 1895 by a developer named Walter Johnson. It was established as an exclusive residential area. Because of the height of the land (150 feet above sea level), it had the best views of the New York harbor and became very popular with the wealthy and influential people in the New York area, even to the point of drawing people from Manhattan and Brooklyn Heights. HR: How did it get its name? FVM: Walter Johnson named the development Dyker Heights because it overlooked the Dyker Meadow and beach. The homes and plots were restricted in size. It had a clubhouse, a bowling alley, tennis courts, a dining room, etc. HR: Who are some famous historical and cultural figures that have lived in Dyker Heights? FVM: There are many famous individuals who have resided in Dyker Heights. For example, General Rene
TASTY PASTRY SHOPPE
Edward De Russy, who oversaw the construction of Fort Hamilton Army Base was a resident of Dyker Heights. It was under his direction that the cornerstone for the fort was laid on June 11, 1825. Because of its exclusivity, there are other important figures who resided in Dyker Heights. You can go on to the Dyker Heights Civic Association website for the complete history of Dyker Heights, which includes a film narrated by our association’s historian Dr. Christian Zaino. A present day celebrity that grew up in Dyker Heights is Rosanna Scotto. HR: Tell me about the Dyker Heights Civic Association that you chair. When did it come into being? Do you have some background history about the organization and who it represents? FVM: The Dyker Heights Civic Association was established in 1928 as a result of the increased development of Dyker
Heights. Its first civic improvement was having a local dumping ground cleaned up during that same year. In the 1940s, the association was instrumental in having power cables placed underground along a stretch of Fort Hamilton Parkway. The association was ahead of its time. The association was instrumental in the building and opening of the Dyker Heights Library in 1972. It lobbied the city for decades and mobilized community support. Today, the Dyker Heights Civic Association continues to play an important role in the community including fighting illegal home conversions, working to make the Dyker lights enjoyable and safe for all, and highlighting the issues and concerns of Dyker Heights residents. HR: Please tell me about the vibrant shopping areas and/or service-oriented businesses like dry cleaners, medical providers, insurance companies, etc. in Dyker Heights along 11th
SERVICES
and 13th avenues. FVM: The shopping areas along 11th and 13th avenues contain some great stores such as LaBella Marketplace, Sirico’s Caterers, a number of local pharmacies such as Pollina Pharmacy; Boulevard Books and Pinot’s Palette; bakeries such as Grandma’s and Tasty Pastry Shoppe; several medical providers such as Bay Ridge Imaging as well as a number of doctors of all types. Realtors, insurance companies, Torregrossa Funeral Home. There’s so much there! HR: Dyker Heights is also known for being a family-centric community, correct? FVM: Dyker Heights is definitely a family-centric community. It has great schools, parks and activities including sports leagues, martial arts programs and programs geared toward parents and children. It is basically a community of private homes with backyards and space for children to play.
