Coalition forms to fight de Blasio plan to overhaul elite schools

BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

T

he Asian-American community in Bensonhurst is growing increasingly concerned about the impact Mayor Bill de Blasio’s proposal to overhaul the admissions process into the elite high schools would have on their kids if the policy is ever implemented.

A large crowd of worried parents crammed into the United Progressive Democratic Club in Bensonhurst on Saturday morning for the inaugural meeting of the South Brooklyn Coalition for Quality Education, a new group formed by Assemblymember Bill Colton and Nancy Tong, the Democratic Party district leader of the 47th Assembly District, to fight the mayor.

“I don’t like what the mayor is doing. I think he’s trying to make this about race when all that should matter is how good a student you are and how hard you are willing to work,” one parent, Yan Huag, told this newspaper.

The crowd was so large that receptionists manning the front table had to use several sign-in sheets for parents to sign as they entered in order to move people through faster. Parents were handed a questionnaire asking whether they were interested in joining the new coalition. Volunteers also distributed voting registration information sheets.

In an effort to secure more racial diversity in the city’s top high schools, de Blasio has proposed eliminating the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test (SHSAT) as the sole standard for students to gain admission and replace it with a system in which elite high schools would be required to reserve a certain number of seats for the top performers from each middle school.

The proposed process would give African-Americans, Latinos and other minority students a better chance of gaining admission, supporters of the mayor’s plan said.

But at the coalition meeting, parents pointed out that many of the students getting into schools

The first meeting of the newly formed South Brooklyn Coalition for Quality Education drew a large crowd. A parent signs his name to a sign-in sheet. like Brooklyn Technical High School and Stuyvesant High School are Asian-American and that they gain admission by working hard and studying to prepare for the SHSAT. Changing the system in such a dramatic fashion would be unfair to them, opponents of the proposal charged.

There are eight high schools that base their admissions solely on test scores: Bronx High School of Science; Brooklyn Latin School; Brooklyn Technical High School; High School for Mathematics, Science and Engineering at the City College of New York; High School of American Studies at Lehman College; Queens High School for the Sciences at York College; Staten Island Technical High School; and Stuyvesant High School.

Nine percent of the students in elite high schools are black and Latino. But those students make up 68 percent of all New York City high school students, according to a press release issued by the mayor’s office.

“The lack of diversity is a problem,” Colton admitted. But scrapping the test is not the answer, he said.

Colton, who taught in the public school system for 11 years before going into politics, proposed an alternative solution: opening more elite schools for the city’s top students.

“There’s nothing preventing the city from setting up additional schools,” Colton said. He

also called on the de Blasio administration to establish more classes at the elementary and middle school level for gifted and talented youngsters.

Huag, who came to the meeting with her two young children, had another idea. “We would be open to having the city review the test to see if changes should be made. If you have to change the test, change it. Don’t get rid of it,” she said.

Colton suggested that the coalition has time to mount its fight against the mayor’s plan.

The mayor’s proposal would require state legislation and Colton predicted that no action will be taken by the State Assembly or the State Senate before the end of the current session. “There’s one week,” he told parents.

The mayor is not backing down, despite intense opposition to his plan.

“The core of equity and excellence is lifting all boats. Using a single test to determine admission to the most elite schools is not a sound way to select students.

The Specialized High School Admissions Test isn’t based on the middle-school curriculum and has never been statistically shown to be a predictor of performance. We believe that this new process will ultimately result in a fairer admissions process and will be more reflective of our city’s diverse nature,” Jaclyn Rothenberg, a spokesperson for de Blasio, told this newspaper in an email.

CONSTRUCTION BEGINS ON 86TH STREET OVERPASS Preliminary construction has finally begun on the Gowanus overpass at 86th Street, with stage one of the project coming next week.

The project – which includes repairs to the bridge deck and railing, as well as a replacement of the pedestrian fence – was originally slated to start in the spring.

There will be extensive delays and bus detours through the summer thanks to the project, warned Community Board 10 officials who said construction will involve closing the 86th Street entrance and exit ramps for three weeks.

Furthermore, stages two and three will take place in 24-hour, seven-day shifts, making for ‘round the clock construction.

Happening now are repairs to the north sidewalk and parking lane on 86th Street, which will lead into stage one – the removal of the north sidewalk and southside parking lane, at which time the north parking lane will remain closed.

The project is funded by the state Department of Transportation. All traffic lanes are expected to be reopened by mid-August.

Notices of reroutes will be posted by the MTA.

SAFETY MEASURES FOR MARINE AND THIRD The city Department of Transportation (DOT) has proposed a bevy of safety improvements at Third Avenue, Marine Avenue and 99th Street in Bay Ridge to address three conditions that Community Board 10 has found “problematic.”

The first is long crosswalks at 99th and Third (75 feet) and Marine and Third (90 feet). The second is the intersection’s setback at 99th Street, which makes pedestrians less visible to coming vehicles. Third is the wide angle at Marine and Third, allowing cars to turn quickly.

To mitigate the problems, DOT has proposed four painted “neckdowns” with plastic flexible delineators to shorten the crossing distances, increase visibility and slow turns. The neckdowns are not actually curb extensions, but rather paint, to shorten the crosswalks to about 45 and 60 feet respectively, as well as extending the crosswalk at 99th Street to the sidewalk – which is currently does not do.

Long term, the DOT’s plan is to build the project out capitally.

Some board members, however, felt the proposal to be premature, as the DOT is still conducting a study as to whether a recently installed traffic light in the area is working.

The board ultimately voted to support the proposal, and to recommend the implementation of a turning light.

Relay for Life marks 20 years

t was ‘back to the future’ on Saturday, June 16, as the Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst and Dyker Heights communities gathered at Poly Prep Country Day School to celebrate the American Cancer Society’s 20th anniversary Relay for Life at the place where it all started 20 years ago.

Board 11 approves eight-unit building on 65th Street

BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

I

n a sign of a growing construction boom in Bensonhurst, Community Board 11 voted unanimously to recommend that the city give the goahead to a property owner looking to build a four-story, eight-unit apartment house on a vacant 65th Street lot.

Community board members admitted to having some reservations about the project, however.

The vote, which took place at the community board’s meeting on June 14, moves the owner of the property at 2173 65th St. one step closer to the start of construction.

The owner still has to get the city’s Board of Standards and Appeals (BSA) to agree to extend the terms of a previously granted zoning variance before moving ahead with the project. But given the community board’s stand, the BSA approval is likely a formality.

Department of Finance records list the property owner as an entity called 2173 65 Street, Inc. The site was formerly occupied by a two-story house. That dwelling was demolished in 2006. The current

2173 65th Street. owner purchased the land in 2014 for $910,000, according to city records.

Ross Brady, chairperson of the community board’s Planning and Zoning Committee, said the committee was troubled to see that the building plans still call for commercial space on the first floor despite the fact that BSA had previously turned down that part of the project. “BSA rejected it,” Brady said.

Community board members are calling for the commercial entity to be removed from the construction plans.

In another wrinkle, the site will not have to include a parking lot for residents’ cars, thanks to a waiver the owner obtained from the city.

Most new residential construction is New York City is required to include at least some space for parking. The community board is opposed to the waiver, Brady said.

Residents who live on the same block as the vacant lot attended the community board meeting and raised objections to the project, charging that an eight-unit apartment house is too large for the site. “You’re approving it, but we don’t want it,” one man told Chairperson William Guarinello.

Guarinello suggested that neighbors who oppose the building plans submit their objections to the community board in writing for the board to

include in the paperwork it submits to the city.

The community board has been keeping a close eye on the property in the years since the two-family house was torn down. In 2013, the community board contacted the Department of Buildings (DOB) to report that a wooden fence erected around the vacant lot was not secure.

The 65th Street project is part of a trend of construction in Bensonhurst, according to land use experts who said developers are snatching up even small parcels of land to build residential housing and commercial spaces in the fast-growing neighborhood.

Community Board 11, which covers Bensonhurst and Bath Beach and parts of Gravesend and Mapleton, has seen an increase in the numbers of immigrants moving into the area in recent years.

A 2013 study conducted by the Furman Center of New York University found that Bensonhurst has one of the highest percentages of foreign-born residents in New York City. Fifty-six percent of Bensonhurst residents were born outside the U.S., the study found.

Rose frontrunner in six-person field for Donovan seat

T

he Blue Wave that is expected to propel Democrats to victory in the midterm elections across the country in November has also emboldened Democrats here. Six Democrats have stepped forward to run for the Southwest Brooklyn-Staten Island congressional seat held by Republican Dan Donovan.

U.S. Army veteran Max Rose, a Purple Heart recipient, has emerged as the frontrunner in the crowded field, if the money he has raised and the number of endorsements he has received are any indication.

Heading into the final week before the June 26 primary, Rose had racked up endorsements from high-profile lawmakers like U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer, Assemblymember Peter Abbate, Councilmembers Justin Brannan and Mark Treyger and the

Rose has raised nearly $2 million for his campaign to date, according to the

Federal Elections Commission.

But with voter turnout expected to be low, the race in New York’s 11th Congressional District could hold surprises, according to political observers, who said anything can happen.

The congressional district takes in all or parts of Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Bensonhurst and Gravesend, and covers all of Staten Island.

Rose is running against fellow Democrats Michael DeVito Jr., a Marine veteran and a senior director at the Staten Island Young Adult Borough Center; Zach Emig, a bond trader; Radhakrishna Mohan, an information technology specialist for New York State; Paul Sperling, a real estate salesperson and property manager; and Omar Vaid, a prop man and set decorator for television shows.

The winner will take on either Donovan or former Congressmember Michael Grimm, who is challenging the incumbent in the Republican Primary.

Bath Beach native dancer advances to next round in NBC hit dancing show

BY JAIME DEJESUS JDEJESUS@BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM

A

Bath Beach native is dancing to the next round.

Hit NBC show “World of Dance” contestants Daniella Karagach and her husband/partner Pasha Pashkov advanced to the next round of the competition in the couples category after impressing two of the three star judges, Jennifer Lopez and Derek Hough, with their unique interpretation of a classic dance.

“It felt surreal because we were able to show a different side of ballroom dancing,” said Karagach of the episode, which aired on Tuesday, June 5.

“We’ve been wanting to do something like this for a very long time because everyone thinks of ballroom dancing as rhinestones and beautiful clothing, beautiful hair and make-up, but we just wanted to show everyone how real it could be, and how down to earth, and how humble. We came out wearing jeans and did our thing, which was

nothing flashy.”

“We danced the rumba and you never know how they’re going to react to it,” added Pashkov, “so you are hoping for best, that they will understand your style and message, and will like it enough to get you to the next round.”

Despite their solid performance that got the duo to advance, the couple had the jitters.

“We were super nervous. It was the most nervous I’ve ever been in my life and we compete all over the world with millions of people,” said Karagach.

“You’re going in hoping for the best and of course when you get acknowledged and appreciated, it’s an amazing feeling,” added Pashkov. “You only have one minute and 15 seconds on stage, which is a short period of time, to be able to show who you are and impress them. You only get one chance. Any mistake and you’ll be out. So there’s definitely a lot of pressure. It teaches you how to be mentally stronger.”

One of the judges was less than impressed, however.

“We came out doing very basic ballroom dancing, something that

was less flashy and without any lifts,” said Karagach. “Ne-Yo said it wasn’t enough for him to advance us to the next round, so this time we want to impress all the judges. We are basically upping our game so hopefully we’ll get Ne-Yo on our side.”

The accomplishment of advancing was an impressive one given the competition. “There were a lot of great dancers that didn’t get through which was very surprising to us,” she said. “Amazing dancers didn’t make it.”

Their family was very proud of the couple following the episode. “They were in tears,” said Karagach, “to know that we’re becoming everything we wanted to be.”

In the next round, dubbed the duel round, the couple will be pitted against another act, with whoever gets the higher score moving on to the next round.

“World of Dance” airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. The duel rounds begin on Wednesday, July 25. For more information, visit www. nbc.com/world-of-dance.

Mermaid Parade Returns to Coney Island

By Brandon Sapienza INBROOKLYN

Full of flash and fun, the Mermaid Parade, the nation’s largest art parade, celebrated its 36th year in Coney Island on Saturday, June 16.

Led by King Neptune Neil Gaiman and Queen Mermaid Amanda Palmer, this year’s event garnered the largest turnout in its history according to Dick Zigun, president of Coney Island USA, with an estimated 842,000 people in attendance to watch the creatively dressed participants, decorated cars and unique selection of floats pass by along the route from Surf Avenue and West 21st Street to the Coney Island Boardwalk at West 10th Street, and back to West 17th Street.

The parade was founded by Coney Island USA in 1983 as a way of bringing mythology to life for local residents while creating self-esteem in a neighborhood that is often mistakenly viewed as simply an entertainment area. Additionally, the parade allows for artistic New Yorkers to find self-expression in public.

The parade helps businesses in the neighborhood — both on and off the parade route — as well.

“The parade is a financial windfall for community businesses, not only amusements but even Totonno’s on Neptune Avenue,” said Zigun. “It’s the second busiest day of the year.”

Sunset’s Boricua festival to celebrate 20 years, raise money for Puerto Rico

BY JAIME DEJESUS JDEJESUS@BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM

C

elebrating two decades of Puerto Rican pride, the annual Boricua Festival Salsa at the Waterfront is returning to Sunset Park, this year with the same great time but with a bit of different focus.

Being held on Saturday, June 30, the event, which will feature music from top talent such as 10-time Grammy Award winner Eddie Palmieri, food and entertainment for the kids, and also a relief effort for Puerto Rico after the destruction wrought by Hurricane Maria.

Co-Founder and President of the Boricua Festival Committee Pat Ruiz is happy to be able to give back.

“What is different this year is we will be actually fundraising for Puerto Rico," she said. “We were given the go-ahead by the EDC (the city’s Economic Development Corporation), and they have graciously helped us in being a major sponsor in our event so that’s been a great collaboration. One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to Unidos Puerto Rico.

We were planning to fundraise for ourselves, but we nixed that in light of Maria and wanting to give back to the island.”

Shortly after the deadly hurricane, the committee

A scene from last year’s Boricua Festival.

held two fundraisers and raised enough money to buy five generators for the island.

The committee’s scholarship program, the Dr. Antonia Pantoja Youth Leadership & Service Award, is also returning.

“Bed Bath and Beyond is a sponsor for the scholarship program,” she said. “We are giving out three this year, two $1,000 scholarships and one $500 scholarship. [Bed Bath and Beyond] is going to be giving each winner a gift card. We’re excited about

that.”

Any student, ages 17 and up, of Puerto Rican heritage can apply. “It’s based on their volunteer commitment and achievements through leadership and community service that have made a significant impact on their neighborhood,” Ruiz said.

The music, which is headlined by Palmieri, will be a highlight for most attendees.

“We are really excited we are able to get Eddie Palmieri,” Ruiz said. “We didn’t think it would happen but he generously accepted our invitation.”

Also performing will be La Tipica Novel and Noel y La 718. A magician will also be there for the kids.

The year’s event is also a special one for Ruiz.

“This is my 20th year as the original co-founder of the Boricua Festival and having struggled, even to the point of this year saying to the committee I don’t think we can do this, I’m really excited I can make it for my 20th year and do it for something as important as [Hurricane Maria relief for Puerto Rico],” she said. “My excitement for the festival is still the same.”

The festival will be held on Saturday, June 30 from 12-7 p.m. at Pier 4 at 58th St. and First Ave. For more information, visit www.boricuafestivalny.org. To apply for the scholarship program, visit http://nycptpd.wixsite.com/boricuafestaward.

Theatre for Kids and Families Opens in Park Slope

By John Alexander INBROOKLYN

Play Nice Theatre has begun its season of lighthearted musicals with positive, life-affirming messages about cooperation and kindness. And it is looking for its July/ August cast, musicians and backstage helpers.

Relocated from Manhattan, this all-volunteer company’s rehearsals and meetings reflects its mission and message by encouraging its mixed-generation cast and crew (ages six to 106) to interact socially and share stories of their own lives on and off stage.

In a welcoming atmosphere, the experienced and new Play Nice actors and crew are encouraged to come early and linger after assigned rehearsal slots in order to get to know each other, help each other memorize their lines, do school homework and play games. Some may choose to help with scenery painting or prop-making.

All ticket sales from main stage shows ($10 admission) is donated to local charities, a prime motivation for many participants who find it rewarding to help raise money for those less fortunate through donating their time and talent.

According to theatre founder Rob Lester, the cast and crew are like a second family. “Working on a show with

friendly people is fun and satisfying,” he says.

The Brooklyn Eagle stopped by the new location at 89 Fourth Avenue, five blocks from Barclays Center, where the two-act musical “The Three Little Pigs Buy a Brownstone in Brooklyn” is running on weekends (2 p.m. Saturdays, 3:30 p.m.

Sundays, through July 1).

The Eagle is mentioned prominently in the Brooklyn-centric script in Scene 6 and the newspaper is used as a prop as well.

The show’s target audience is ages six and up, with plenty of humor adults will appreciate.

“Two six-year-olds are among the actors, with the oldest member more than 10 times their age, and the family idea is reflected literally: the cast includes two brothers who play two of the pigs; a mother and her son have a scene together as an older pig and hedgehog; two actors are cousins,” we’re in-

formed.

Original lyrics are set to public domain melodies including old folk songs and classic children’s tunes. The show, which emphasizes “being a good neighbor,” plus patience, perseverance, and pig puns, runs through July 1, will be followed by show after show, starting with the summer musical about kids and counselors at an unusual summer camp, titled “Not a Happy Camper.”

The theatre welcomes audition appointments, visits, donations of costumes and supplies, and all inquiries throughout the year. Acting classes, puppet shows, concerts, one-day free workshops, variety shows, and special family events are planned, and a fundraising concert on July 20.

For more details, show times, tickets and contact information, go to www.PlayNicePeople. com.

Maimonides honors patients at National Cancer Survivors Day celebration

BY ARIAMA LONG EDITORIAL@BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM

V

alets waited on the grand red carpet outside the Dyker Beach Golf Course on June 13, to welcome guests to Maimonides Medical Center’s theater-themed 12th annual blowout for National Cancer Survivors Day honoring cancer survivors and patients.

Underneath a tent, overlooking the links, were crowded tables decorated with playbills and star balloons.

People enjoyed lavish food and the live band comprised of Maimonides physicians, including Director of the Brooklyn Breast Cancer Program Dr. Patrick Borgen on keyboard.

Sharon Spencer, mother, NBA Barclays Center honoree and breast cancer survivor, said, “I’ve been coming here for seven years. I always find time for it.”

Additional attractions included a red carpet photo shoot, Mr. Met, a fresh popcorn booth and a Broadway section with face-painting for kids.

“It’s amazing to be around such positive energy and people,” said Bensonhurst native Melissa Bontimino, 34.

“That’s something people like me who fought, are still fighting, and are going to be fighting in the future need to be around.”

Bontimino was engaged in December, 2016 and found a lump in her breast the next year, effectively postponing her wedding. Now in remission, Bontimino — an advocate for more women to be aware of the potential threat of breast cancer — said that the medical center had determined that no genes, receptors, or hormones could have caused her illness.

The event celebrated the milestones

achieved by survivors and patients, as well as acknowledging the family members, friends and healthcare professionals who have supported them along the way.

Chief of Breast Surgery Donna-Marie Manasseh, who is Advocate also Bontimino’s onSharon Spencer is cologist and surgeon, a breast said, “Your patients cancer come in and you’re survivor. focusing on care but you don’t really see them outside of that, except here. So I love coming to this event.”

Rhapsody Players perform ‘Summer in the City’ at St. Mary’s Church

BY JOHN ALEXANDER JALEXANDER@BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM

B

ay Ridge will be a “hot town” on Saturday, June 23 when the Rhapsody Players vocal group, under the direction of founding member John Heffernan, present their “Summer in the City” hits from the ‘50s, ’60s, ’70s and ’80s program at St. Mary’s Antiochian Orthodox church, 81st Street and Ridge Boulevard.

“The Rhapsody Players return to their second home at St. Mary’s to kick off the summer with the greatest songs from the ‘50s to ‘80s,” Heffernan told this paper. Among the offerings will be, he said, “Songs such as ‘Respect’ by Aretha Franklin, ‘At Last’ by Etta James, ‘Crazy’ by Patsy Cline as well as songs from Al Green, the Bee Gees, Annie Lennox, the Harptones, the Mamas and the Papas, Burt Bacharach and the Lovin’ Spoonful including of course ‘Summer in the City.’”

This is the fifth time the Players will be performing at St. Mary’s after selling out the church hall in January for their “Blast from the Past” production.

The church’s pastor, the Rev.

The Rhapsody Players.

Michael Ellias, called the Rhapsody Players St. Mary’s house band because, “We truly enjoy having them perform here; they are like family.”

The members of the Rhapsody Players are Heffernan, Anthony Marino, Jannicke Steadman-Charles, Colleen Martin-O’Donnell, Donna Heffernan, Kevin Sweeney, Kiernan Hamilton, Bernard Smith and Renee Titus. The guest vocalist for the evening will be St. Mary’s own Connor Mayrose. They will be accompanied by a six-piece band.

Past highlights of the show have included covers of the Ronettes “Be My Baby, the Drifters’ “This Magic Moment,” and Mayrose’s rendition

ebrooklynmedia/file photo

of “Over the Rainbow.”

The money raised from the concert will be donated to St. Mary’s. While the church has been at its current location since 1950, its roots reach back to 1917 when the Assumption of the Theotokos Cathedral, now known as St. Mary’s Church, came into existence and took up residence in a former synagogue on Boerum Place in Downtown Brooklyn.

Tickets for the Sat. June 23 concert at St Mary’s are $25, which includes coffee and dessert. Wine and beer will be available for purchase.

For reservations call 646-335-2710 or email Heffernan at broadwayjack@earthlink.net.

Visit Bed-Stuy’s Fulton Art Fair, Then Take This Stroll

By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn

Art and brownstones — an unbeatable combination.

You will find both in Bedford-Stuyvesant on June 23 and June 24. Visual artists are taking part in an important annual event in the north-central Brooklyn neighborhood, the Fulton Art Fair, which is celebrating its 60th anniversary. As per tradition, they display their works by hanging them on the fence at Fulton Park.

This will be the fair’s final weekend. It began on June 9.

You should see the art show — and afterwards, take a stroll through the historic neighborhood. There are many great routes for Bed-Stuy walks. Here’s what we suggest for fairgoers: Head up Stuyvesant Avenue, which is one of Fulton Park’s boundaries, turn at Jefferson Avenue and walk one block to Lewis Avenue, which is another park boundary.

Then head down Lewis Avenue to the park. After that, weave through the side streets between the two avenues.

There’s terrific old-fashioned architectural eye candy

on every block. Most of the area you’ll see is situated within the Stuyvesant Heights Historic District, which was designated in 1971, or the district’s extension, which was designated in 2013.

Thanks to these designations, property owners can’t alter the exteriors of the lovely brownstones and apartment buildings or tear them down without permission from the city Landmarks Preservation Commission.

William Debus and George Chappell Are Stuyvesant Avenue Stars

One of the most eye-catching sights on your stroll is the dazzling array of Classical-style limestone rowhouses on the west side of Stuyvesant Avenue between Chauncey and Bainbridge streets.

This old-fashioned architectural eye candy can be found at 307 Stuyvesant Ave. INSET: This is the landmarked Bridge Street AWME Church on Stuyvesant Avenue.

The striped orange brick and brownstone complex is a blend of Romanesque Revival and French Renaissance architectural styles, according to the 1971 designation report about the Stuyvesant Heights Historic District.

This Lewis Avenue eye candy has towers topped by roofs that look like witches’ hats, fleur-de-lis decorations on its bay windows and decorative beasts holding shields over the arched front doorways.

Side-Street Sights

Visit Bed-Stuy’s Fulton Art Fair, Then Take This Stroll — Continued from page 20INB — The Landmarks Preservation Commission’s 1971 designation report about the Stuyvesant Heights Historic District says their architect was William Debus.

His career designing Brooklyn residential buildings began in the mid-1890s and lasted a half-century.

A builder named Charles Tritschler constructed 404 through 410 Stuyvesant Ave. in 1910.

The houses at 402 and 404 Stuyvesant Ave. are paired so they look like a single mansion with their front doors standing side-by-side and rounded window bays at each end of the pairing. The houses at 408 and 410 Stuyvesant Ave. are also set up to look like a single mansion with side-by-side doors and rectangular window bays.

The houses at 412 to 420 Stuyvesant Ave., which also date back to 1910, were constructed for a real estate broker named George Beer.

Another fab Stuyvesant Avenue spot is on the corner of Bainbridge Street at 387-389 Stuyvesant Ave. The standalone red-brick house is a combination of Romanesque Revival and Queen Anne architectural styles.

It was built in 1888.

It was designed by George Chappell, one of Brooklyn’s most notable late 19thcentury architects.

He lived in Bed-Stuy and designed memorable residences and churches throughout north-central Brooklyn and Park Slope.

Suzanne Spellen says in a Brownstoner.com story that Thomas Prosser II built 387-389 Stuyvesant Ave. His family company, Thomas Prosser & Son, served as the U.S. agent for Krupp Steel and Gun Works, a German manufacturer.

The Miracle Temple Church of Apostolic Holiness is located there now.

A Historic African-American Church

Every corner of Stuyvesant Avenue has an eye-catching building. Among these, one of our favorites is 307 Stuyvesant Ave., aka 519 Halsey St. The Landmarks Preservation Commission’s 2013 designation report about the Stuyvesant Heights Historic District’s extension says builder Walter Clayton constructed the Queen Anne-style apartment building with storefronts in 1889.

It has a distinctive oriel (meaning a bay window) that extends up the corner of the second, third and fourth floors of the fourstory building and has a tiny pyramidshaped roof on top of it.

On the corner of Jefferson Avenue, at 279 Stuyvesant Ave., you find the Bridge Street African Wesleyan Methodist Episcopal Church.

This is the first African-American congregation that was established in Brooklyn, the 2013 designation report says.

Architecture firm Leeming & Kirk designed the building that houses it, which was constructed in 1907 as Grace Presbyterian Church. The Bridge Street congregation purchased the Gothic Revival-style, beige brick and limestone building in 1938.

Dahlander accomplished so much in his lifetime.

He was a successful architect in his home country of Sweden before he moved to Brooklyn, where he worked for eight years at the end of the 19th century, Brownstoner.com writer Spellen says in a story about him. Then he returned to Sweden and continued his career for another four decades.

Dahlander is one of the stars of the side streets included in this Bed-Stuy stroll.

On the north side of the Bainbridge Street block between Stuyvesant and Lewis avenues, he designed a stately row of 33 brownstone and limestone houses.

They were built in 1892.Their addresses run from 73 Bainbridge St. through 137 Bainbridge St. The 1971 designation report calls the row, which is a mix of Romanesque Revival, Neo-Renaissance and Queen Anne architectural styles, “well-balanced and harmonious”

This nifty block includes a house with a turret at 579 Jefferson Ave. and says the blockfront is “one of the most interesting in the Stuyvesant Heights Historic District.”

Other especially terrific side street sights include the front gardens on the landmarked MacDonough Street block between Stuyvesant and Lewis avenues.

The iconic Akwaaba Mansion, a bedand-breakfast inn in an 1860s Italianate villa, is located on this block. Its address is 347 MacDonough St. There’s a glorious row of brownstones on Halsey Street between Stuyvesant and Lewis avenues. And don’t leave the neighborhood without seeing the brownstone at 579 Jefferson Ave., which has a turret with a conical roof.

A Shout-Out to Magnus Dahlander

Lewis Avenue is full of fine things to see.

On the corner of Halsey Street, there’s a handsome Neo-Grec tenement with storefronts whose address is 343-351 Lewis Ave. The 2013 designation report notes that William Field & Son designed the brick and brownstone building, which was constructed in 1886.

This architecture firm also designed the Coignet Building — a small, ghostly-pale concrete landmark that’s flanked by the massive Whole Foods supermarket on Third Avenue and 3rd Street in Gowanus.

At 376 and 380 Lewis Ave., there’s a pair of magnificent buildings designed by much-admired architect Magnus Dahlander and built in 1892. They look like one big four-story apartment house.

Beyond at Liberty View Hosts Kids Community Mural Project

By Jaime DeJesus INBrooklyn

There’s a new work of art in Sunset Park.

Beyond at Liberty View, 850 Third Avenue, hosted its Kids Community Mural Project, which gave kids of all ages the opportunity to paint a mural of Sunset Park and created by local artist Michela Muserra.

The event, held on Sunday, June 10 was a big success according to Bari Fagan, the director of brand integration, video and promotions for Bed Bath & Beyond.

“We are committed to doing events that celebrate Brooklyn and Sunset Park and partnering with our community and this was the latest in a series of events that we’ve done,” she said. “Then we partnered with artist Michela Muserra to create a mural celebrating Sunset Park and Brooklyn. She created the mural and drew the images in black and white and then we invited talented young artists to join us and help us paint it.”

The result was dozens of kids participating in creating the mural that was made up of 12 panels, 15 feet wide and 6.5 feet high. Each panel was 30 by 40 inches.

The kids had a great time creating art for shoppers to enjoy.

“They got to pick the colors they want. We did three panels at a time so there was always something fresh and new,” Fagan said. “Everybody was so excited with the finished product. When it went up, kids loved looking at it. They said, ‘Oh the Brooklyn Bridge and Statue of Liberty,’ because you can see it if you look outside the parking lot.”

Once it was completed, the painting was hung on one of the historic walls on the second floor so it’s visible to patrons as they come up the venue’s escalator.

“It’s wonderful. The kids didn’t want to leave,” she added. “They all signed a panel with all their names. They were so proud of what they did. We were thrilled with the concept and thrilled with the result.

It’s a beautiful combination of Muserra’s talents and dozens of other talented young artists who joined us that day who are so proud of their work.”

The mural is slated to be up for several months.

After finishing 11-1 in the regular season to earn the first seed in the 2018 JV Division AA GCHSAA playoffs, this season’s Fontbonne JV Softball team was defeated by second seeded Molloy by the score of 6-5 for the championship.

Molloy edges Fontbonne for JV Championship

BY JIM DOLAN

A

fter finishing first during the regular season with an 11-1 record in the Brooklyn-Queens GCHSSA JV Division AA Division, first seeded Fontbonne hosted second seeded Molloy for the championship at St. Patrick’s Field. Despite beating Molloy three times during the regular season, a championship was not in the cards for the Bonnies.

MOLLOY 6 FONTBONNE 5 In the first inning, Fontbonne’s Brianna Alicandro (10 strikeouts) uncharacteristically gave up four runs to open the game, while Gill O’Rourke held the Bonnies scoreless on three consecutive strikeouts to close the first inning for a 4-0 Molloy lead.

After Molloy was held scoreless in the next inning, the Fontbonne offense found its stride and scored three runs to close the gap with a score of 4-3 in the bottom of the second inning.

Anxious to get more runs on the board for Fontbonne, Alicandro led off the third inning with a long shot to center field that she attempted to stretch into a triple and was subsequently gunned down at third on a perfectly executed relay from the outfield.

Even though Molloy erased a potential run at third base, the Bonnies still came back to tie the game 4-4 on a Taylor Romeo single to score Izzy Chirico to end the third inning.

Leading off in the fourth inning, Fontbonne’s Lauren Catalano sent a long fly for a triple to right field to get into scoring position.

Alia Mansour then followed with a towering fly ball to deep center field that Molloy’s Gen Puglisi ran down at the wall on a difficult catch for the out.

Holding her position on the fly ball, Catalano easily tagged up from third base and scored to put the Bonnies ahead 5-4.

Finally, the game came down to a critical fifth inning with Molloy runners on second and third and one out.

The Stanners scored two quick runs on a “bang-bang play” to take a 6-5 lead.

Molloy’s Puglisi started the play by executing a sacrifice bunt back to Alicandro on the mound. After checking Emily O’Rourke back to third base, Alicandro then threw to first base for the second out as O’Rourke raced for home.

However, an off-balance throw back to home plate skipped by catcher Mansour, allowing O’Rourke to score, as well as Nikki Mauro from second for what would turn out to be the winning run of the game for Molloy.

The championship loss came as a hard blow to the Bonnies who dominated league play during the season.

Despite the loss, team Co-Captain Chirico made it a point to thank her teammates and coaches Arianna Dillon, Ella Sicurelli and Mark Surdyka in an emotional post-game huddle.

Chirico closed by saying, “Even though it wasn’t the outcome for the season that we wanted, I still want to thank my teammates for all their support and especially my coaches for teaching us softball and the life lessons that I learned this season.”

he eighth grade class had a blast as they celebrated their Eighth Grade Dance on Thursday night, June 8 at Gargiulo’s Restaurant, adding another memory to the many they’ve made over their years as students of St. Ephrem School.

Parents and faculty contributed to help make the dance a success.

Some of the faculty attended the dance, and reminisced with the students about the years of teaching them.

One mother purchased and delivered personalized cupcakes, including cupcakes decorated with the insignias of the high schools which

they will be attending in the fall.

As their academic year comes to a close, the boys and girls enjoyed a night of dancing and having fun with each other. There was even a backdrop for photographs accompanied by crazy accessories for funny photos.

To add to this memorable night, the yearbooks were distributed to the class. Students and faculty alike enjoyed signing the yearbooks to capture these moments of joy and pride for each other.

The graduating class of 18 students has the honor of being the final class to graduate as a student of ‘St. Ephrem School.’ In September, the school will transition to becoming ‘St. Ephrem Catholic Academy.’

NEIGHBORHOOD NEWSBEAT BP Adams Backtracks On Specialized School Tests BOROUGH HALL — Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams has reportedly ended his support for Mayor Bill de Blasio’s plan to eliminate the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test after Chinese-American donors pulled out of upcoming fundraisers. Adams has been raising funds for an expected mayoral run in 2021, according to the New York Post. For many years, the test has resulted in a preponderance of Asian-American students at the city’s top eight public high schools, but few black and Latino students.

Last month, Asian-Ameri-

can families rallied in Cadman Plaza Park against de Blasio’s proposed changes, the Eagle’s Mary Frost reported. “We feel you cannot punish the people who work hard and then they get in. Specialized high schools [are] trying to get the people who work harder and they can help the future of the country,” event volunteer Jerry Lo told the Eagle. After a meeting with Asian-American leaders, Adams told Chinese-American media that he’s now backing multiple entrance criteria but also keeping the exam and creating more specialized schools, the Post reported.

R.I. Troopers Help Out Brooklyn Boy With New Toy RHODE ISLAND — Police often get unusual requests, but one that Rhode Island State Police received in a letter was one of the most unusual of all.

It came from Will Ketcher, a 4-year-old Brooklyn boy whose toy cheetah fell out of his family’s car window on Interstate 95 around West Greenwich, according to WPRI in Providence. Will’s mother, Stephanie Ketcher, said the family had been visiting Will’s aunt in Rhode Island when Will was holding the toy beast out the window, but it flew out onto the highway. A few months later, Will and his parents had a package delivered to them with a Rhode Island return address.

Inside was a new stuffed cheetah and a note that said although the original toy was lost, state police had found another one walking on the highway who said he wanted to move to New York. They also said they had officially made the beast a trooper. Will gave the new cheetah a fitting name: “Rhody.”

Brooklyn Federal Judge Makes Waves by Going Against Supreme Court Ruling DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — Federal Judge Jack B. Weinstein wrote a decision going against a Supreme Court ruling that lessened the public’s ability to hold police accountable for misconduct and abuse of power, The New York Times reported. The 96-year-old judge who’s sat on the bench in Brooklyn’s Federal District Court since the late 1960s ruled that the Supreme Court went too far with their expansion of qualified immunity, a legal doctrine that prevents police officers from being sued for actions while on duty. “The Supreme Court’s recent emphasis on shielding public officials and federal and local law enforcement means many individuals who suffer a constitutional deprivation will have no redress,” he wrote in his ruling. He wrote that the newly expanded doctrine protects “all but the plainly incompetent.” Weinstein’s ruling comes after a spate of attention-grabbing rulings in the past few years including a public call for more women to have speaking roles in court and an announcement that he wanted to investigate perjury by the police.

State Sen. Marty Golden is sponsoring legislation that seeks to correct the spelling of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge by adding the extra “z” for the explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano’s name. The MTA anticipates that it would cost roughly $350,000 to replace 96 signs of different sizes between Staten Island and Brooklyn. The misspelling occurred when initial plans went through for the bridge connecting Brooklyn and Staten Island, which opened in 1964 and remains the longest suspension bridge in the country.

In a NYC Civil War, Brooklyn Wouldn’t Win CITYWIDE — In an all-out civil war between the five New York City boroughs, with none of them having any contact with the outside world, Brooklyn wouldn’t win.

Writers for Vice asked people on social media sites, staffers at NYCbased websites and others for their opinions, asking for input on several factors: population, terrain and waterfront, weaponry, resources and transit.

Brooklyn won only one category, weaponry, based

on two factors – Brooklyn has the only active-duty military fort in the city (Fort Hamilton), and more NYPD cops live here than in any other borough. Benjamin Kabak of Second Avenue Sagas is quoted as saying, “The Warriors were Brooklyn-based and beat everyone.” The overall winner, according to Vice, would be the Bronx because of its “hilly terrain, inland defenses, significant population and control of the viral water supply.”

New Offices, Light Industrial Space Coming to Navy Yard BROOKLYN NAVY YARD — The Brooklyn Navy Yard is reportedly planning to build 230,000 square feet of offices and light-manufacturing space on top of a parking garage that is being constructed in the Yard’s old Admirals Row section. The city has pledged to invest $40 million in the project as part of Mayor Bill de Blasio’s New York Works program, according to Crain’s New York Business. The building, at 399 Sands St., is being constructed by Steiner Studios. “The city’s investment creates economics that work for us and for our tenant mix of office and manufacturing users,” David Ehrenberg, president and CEO of the Navy Yard, told Crain’s. He added that the city’s contribution will allow that the yard to charge less for rents in the complex.

Renters in One District, Landlords in Another?

FLATBUSH — At least two Brooklyn elected officials live in rent-stabilized apartments in their district while owning rental properties just outside their districts. Bklyner editor Liena Zagare named the two as Councilmembers Mathieu Eugene (D-Flatbush) and Jumaane Williams (D-East Flatbush-Canarsie). There may be others as well, because not everyone responded to a survey sent out by the blog.

Zagare pointed out that she is not implying that the Council members have done anything wrong, but “maybe rather than talk about affordable housing, [Eugene] should get a market-rate apartment, and give up the three-bedroom by the park to a family in his district who needs it more.”

Looking for a Job? Go to Brooklyn BOROUGHWIDE — Brooklyn’s job market is growing faster than the state’s and the nation’s, according to the State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, the New York Post reported. “It’s an exciting time for Brooklyn with record employment, business growth, and a budding tech sector,” DiNapoli said last week at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. The private sector has added 172,600 jobs since 2009 and grew by 4.4 percent in the past year alone,

DiNapoli said. Health care jobs make up about a quarter of that growth, followed by retail. Also contributing to the growth are jobs in hospitality and leisure, and construction and manufacturing. Last year the unemployment rate hit a record low: 4.4 percent.

By April of this year, it was even lower: 4.2 percent. He also said that 15 million people visit Brooklyn each year and that household incomes and education levels are rising.

Bay Ridge Community Council hosts 67th annual dinner dance

BY JOHN ALEXANDER JALEXANDER@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

C

ommunity service and volunteerism was the theme of the evening at the Bay Ridge Community Council’s 67th annual dinner dance. The organization hosted a room full of elected officials and civic leaders at the Bay Ridge Manor on Thursday, June 14.

Dinner dance Chairperson and Bay Ridge Community Council (BRCC) President Ralph Succar welcomed guests to the annual event, honoring this year’s Civic Award recipients Arlene Keating and Patrick Colabella.

Succar explained that BRCC was established in 1951 to promote the quality of life in the neighborhoods of Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights and Fort Hamilton.

Rev. Msgr. John Maloney, pastor of Saint Anselm Catholic Church, offered the invocation before Colabella performed the national anthem.

Succar said that his daughter Karina asked him not to forget to mention that June 14 was Flag Day, to explain why American flags were placed on every table. “Flag Day commemorates the adoption of the flag on June 14, 1777 by the resolution of the Second Continental Congress,” Succar said.

Succar presented the first Civic Award to Colabella, who has served as accountant for the BRCC for the last 10 years.

“The Civic Award is given out to people who really care about the community, who really go out of their way to make us proud,” Succar said. “And honestly Pat, I can’t think of anyone who deserves this award more than you.”

“This means everything to me,” an emotional Colabella said as he

thanked the BRCC for honoring him.

The second civic award recipient Arlene Keating was introduced by Colleen Golden. She called Keating her best friend and said that she could call on her for anything at

any time.

“She has done almost everything that Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst, Dyker Heights has been offering,” Golden said. “I think sometimes she works more than my husband.”

“I am deeply humbled to be the recipient of this prestigious award,” Keating said. “And to be included among the list of true pioneers who worked tirelessly over 60 some-odd years for the betterment of our beloved Bay Ridge.”

The evening concluded as a new slate of BRCC officers were installed and Succar was sworn in as BRCC president by Acting Supreme Court Judge Theresa Ciccotto.

Scouts honor civic leaders at breakfast

T

he Bay Ridge Boy Scouts continued their noble tradition of saluting community leaders and organizations at their 26th annual Bay Ridge Breakfast for Scouting on Wednesday, June 6, at the Bay Ridge Manor.

Harry D’Onofrio, senior project manager and Head of IT at D’Onofrio General Contractors Corp., Rosemarie McGoldrick, principal at Holy Cross Catholic Academy, Maria Vasaka-Monioudis, president of the Holy Cross Brooklyn Outreach Center, and the Bay Ridge Lawyers Association received awards and citations for their civic contributions.

The event also recognized three Bay Ridge Eagle Scouts who were able to achieve scouting’s highest rank. Only about three or four percent of scouts earn this prestigious honor.

Eagle Scout recognition was given to Joseph D’Onofrio and Nicholas D’Onofrio of St. Anselm Catholic Academy’s Troop 13 and Kirwin Seger of Our Lady of Angels (OLA) Troop 23,.

James McHugh, senior vice president of Signature Bank, served as master of ceremonies. McHugh, an Eagle Scout, also serves on the Brooklyn Council of the Boy Scouts of America.

McHugh thanked the Boy Scouts for diligently providing programs to over 5,000 youths in Brooklyn. The breakfast raised $16,000 to support Boy Scouts in Brooklyn.

McHugh introduced 12-year-old Mark Twain Junior High School seventh grader William Gonzalez, a scout from Troop 13 who was working his way to Eagle Scout.

Gonzalez said that the best part of scouting is that it allows him to give back. McHugh presented him with a medallion of the Eagle Scout medal.

Vasaka-Monioudis and the Brooklyn Outreach Center provide year-round help for homeless New Yorkers, including a monthly Midnight Run with volunteers delivering food, clothing and toiletries to homeless individuals throughout the city. Vasaka-Monioudis was a Girl Scout and has been volunteering as a leader with the Girl Scouts for 15 years. She has also been volunteering with the Cub Scouts for seven years.

Newly-minted Eagle Scout Nicholas D’Onofrio introduced his father Harry, president of the 68th Precinct Youth Council, who has coached both

baseball and soccer, and is also a dedicated scout volunteer.

New York Conservative Party Chairperson Mike Long introduced the Brooklyn-born McGoldrick, who has been principal at Holy Angels Catholic Academy for the last 10 years.

McGoldrick said that as a former Girl Scout she truly believes in scouting. “I believe in children,” McGoldrick said. “They are the future. We live in a society that has many challenges for the youth of today, many challenges that we ourselves did not face. And I truly believe that with support from adults in school…children can grow and learn and be supported. And I believe that scouting does that.”

First Sunset Park small business fair

t provided a big opportunity for small businesses.

Industry City (IC) and the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce collaborated to host their first Sunset Park Small Business Resource Fair & Networking Event, designed to provide opportunities for small businesses to expand, grow and help establish new local procurement channels, on Thursday, June 8 The event -- organized in conjunction with IC’s local partners, including Southwest Brooklyn Industrial Development Corporation, Opportunities for Better Tomorrow and Sunset Park Fifth Avenue BID -- took place at 220 36th Street, with 100 businesses that are either in IC or in the industrial zone in Sunset Park outside of Industry City or along Third, Fourth and Fifth Avenues, and around 250 attendees.

CEO of IC Andrew Kimball was excited to bring the first-time event to the massive waterfront complex.

“It was an opportunity to bring these companies together to offer them an array of services that our partners provide, such as small business loans and financing, small business health care packages,

services we provide in our Innovation Lab in terms of workforce development, job placement, training and then private sector opportunities like registering with Yelp or Google Small Business,” he said.

Kimball also noted it gives an opportunity for these companies to get together and network with each other.

“Small business in Sunset Park is growing rapidly,” he said. “There’s a lot of activity happening.”

The event, he added, provides “An opportunity for Industry City to showcase some of what’s happening here and how small businesses might

either do business with us, or do business with our tenants. There were a lot of signups for the various opportunities and services. We felt very good and I think our partners felt good as did the attendees.”

EVP and Chief of Staff for the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce Samara Karasyk also considered the networking event a huge success.

“A lot of local businesses from Sunset Park were able to get access to services that otherwise they might not have known were available to them,” she said.

“That we brought it to Sunset Park is important,” said Karasyk. “Industry City is an amazing partner and they really care about helping the community in all of their programming. There’s a lot of innovation going on that is intended to be inclusive for people that want training in their careers or to grow their businesses. I think it’s important we do programming in the neighborhoods where the businesses are located.”

Attendees can expect more events that help grow small business.

“I’ve been here five years and it’s the first I’ve seen in the neighborhood,” said Kimball. “Everyone felt this was useful and positive, and we should do it again, so we’re currently planning that.”

The young lawyer sections of the various bar associations in Brooklyn and New York City have continued a recent tradition last week — an annual “Battle of the Bars” — which took place at Emmett O’Lunney’s in Manhattan on Tuesday, June 12.

A total of 20 local bar associations participated and the young lawyer’s section of the Brooklyn Bar Association was among the four teams that won money for their law charity. In BBA’s case, $1,500 went to the Volunteer Lawyers Project.

Maimonides honors 1,800 volunteers

BY BRANDON SAPIENZA EDITORIAL@BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM

F

our hundred guests packed into the Paradise Manor catering hall in Brooklyn on Wednesday, June 6 as Maimonides Medical Center celebrated their work as volunteers.

A total of 1,800 people volunteered

their time to work at the hospital doing various tasks that helped the operations run more smoothly and efficiently.

“Our volunteers assist with foreign language interpretation, administrative tasks, supportive services and recreational activities for patients,” said Alyssa Alario, a spokesperson for Maimonides.

During the event, the late Lola Schwartz was honored. Schwartz was a dedicated and long-time Maimonides volunteer according to Alario. As a tribute to the work that their mother did, Schwartz’s daughters, who also volunteer at the hospital, were presented with a plaque honoring their mother and her service to the hospital and community.

Kenneth Gibbs, president and CEO

of Maimonides, couldn’t be at the ceremony, but he left his remarks for the volunteers present at the luncheon, saying, “Your participation in caring for our patients and their loved ones is commendable — you make our hospital a special place.”

Paradise Manor is located at 5802 New Utrecht Avenue.

COLANDREA, Maria, was born on October 9, 1920 in Cranston, Rhode Island, the first born child of Carmela Iannuzzi and Biagio Vicidomini, immigrants from Monte di Procida, Napoli, Italia.

When Maria was four years old, her mother died of TB and her dad returned to Italy with Maria and her younger sister. Maria grew up in Italy and met her future husband, Antonio Colandrea, when she was 18 years old. They dated for four years and married during the height of WWII in 1942. During the war and post-war years, she had three daughters in Italy: Letizia, Carmela and Margaret. In those difficult years after WWII, they decided to immigrate to the United States in 1953 and settled back in Cranston, Rhode Island. For better work opportunities, Maria and her family moved to Red Hook, Brooklyn, settling on Van Brunt Street. Antonio became a longshoreman and a few years later sustained an injury and was forced to change his career.

Maria and Antonio together learned the pizzeria business and they opened Tommy’s Pizzeria in Sunset Park.

This wonderful local establishment remained opened for over 30 years.

In 1959, they returned to Italy as a family for the first time and nine months later, their last daughter Rosa was born in Brooklyn. Soon thereafter, they purchased the building on Sixth

TOTH, William H., Sr. (Bill), 89, passed away peacefully at St. Elizabeth's Medical Center after a short illness. Born in Brooklyn, Bill graduated from Fort Hamilton High School.

He was activated in the Air Force Reserves and at the conclusion of his

service he pursued a degree in architecture from Columbia University. After becoming a registered architect, he had a long career at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. He worked for many years in the Aviation Division before transferring to the World Trade Division where he was a planning architect for the Twin Towers. Following his retirement he moved to Mercer, Maine and continued to pursue his hobbies and interests. Bill was an avid stamp and coin collector, but also

enjoyed spending time outdoors while hunting, fishing and gardening.

He particularly enjoyed spending summers at his camp in Fryeburg, Maine, entertaining guests or just enjoying sunsets from the deck.

It truly was his pride and joy, and as an avid DIY'er, he slowly transformed the seasonal cottage to a house on a lake. He also enjoyed traveling and made two cross-country road trips with family along with numerous trips to Europe. Bill was most proud of his long affiliation with the Masonic fraternity. He was raised in Aurora Grata – Day Star Lodge in 1964 and served as master in 1970.

He was district deputy grand master in the 3rd Kings District for 19771978. After relocating to Maine, he affiliated with Franklin Lodge in New Sharon, Maine.

Other Masonic affiliations over the years include the Order of the Eastern Star, Scottish

lay (stick) ball!

One of the most popular street sports from the days of yesteryear is making a big comeback in Brooklyn, thanks to local filmmaker and organizer Jay Cusato as the third annual Stickball Hall of Fame Game at Coney Island’s MCU Park is slated to take place on Sunday, July 8. The day was also proclaimed Stickball Day in Brooklyn U.S.A.

by Borough President Eric Adams during the first game in 2016.

The day will feature a screening of Cusato’s popular documentar y, “When Broomstick s Were King.” The 27-minute short retells the story of Cusato’s father and relatives, and other locals playing the game they adored during the 1940s and 1950s, and why it meant so much to them.

There will also be a stickball game between the Brooklyn Stickball Team enthusiasts and Staten Island Stickball Team, both comprised of Stickball Hall of Famers as well as enthusiasts.

Afterwards, the Brooklyn Cyclones will take on the Staten Island Yankees.

Cusato said that the connection with the Cyclones was made through Stickball Hall of Famer Ray Goffio.

“They had already heard of my film and loved the idea,” he said.

“When we went down and sat with them, they pitched the idea of us showing the film before a Cyclones game and then asked if we could put together a stickball game on the field to demonstrate what stickball is to everyone while the film was going on.

“There’s a genuine love for the game,” Cusato said. “The first two years And we saw so many people come out but they didn’t really know I thought it was a great idea and we’ve been running with it for what it was. After seeing it, they three years.” became that much more interThe interest in the event ested.

“It’s a really important game It gets them excited.” not only to Brooklyn but Cusato and company are throughout all of New York,” excited to play “the poor Cusato said. “It’s like Junior’s man’s baseball” in America’s Cheesecake or the Brooklyn Playground.

It’s very much part of “Playing in Coney Island is the fabric of New York and to special on its own,” Cusato said. see it totally go away would be “The fact that the Cyclones are an absolute shame. Keeping the hosting this event and we get to sport alive and going is one of play on the field that they play the reasons for the film and it’s on makes it more special.” the big reason behind this day The game will be played on that the Cyclones put together.” Sunday, July 8 at MCU Park.

POLICE BEAT SUNSET PARKER SENTENCED TO 12 YEARS TO LIFE FOR SERIES OF ATTEMPTED QUEENS, BROOKLYN BURGLARIES A 39-year-old Sunset Park man has been sentenced to 12 years to life in prison after pleading guilty to a series of Queens and Brooklyn break-ins between November 2016 and April 2017.

According to Queens District Attorney Richard Brown, Paul Rodriguez of 58th Street pleaded guilty last month to three counts of second-degree attempted burglary, admitting to at least three attempts – two in Ridgewood, Queens and

another in Bushwick.

During the attempted burglary in Brooklyn, Brown said, Rodriguez left behind a screwdriver, from which DNA recovered was a match for the Sunset Parker.

“Over the span of six months, the defendant brazenly busted through locked doors and windows to steal the property of others. Not only did he violate the sanctity of the victims’ homes, he caused damage that forced the occupants to dig into their pockets to secure their homes again,” said Brown. “Good police work led to the capture of this serial burglar, who has now been sentenced to a lengthy term of incarceration.”

Rodriguez was sentenced Thursday, June 14.

Bensonhurst officials ask city, ‘Why no free Wifi?’

BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

T

he city’s technology revolution is passing Bensonhurst by.

Neighborhood officials are miffed that the city’s much-touted LinkNYC program, which makes free Wifi available to residents via sidewalk kiosks, is nowhere to be seen on local streets.

“We would like to have them,” Community Board 11 District Manager Marne Elias-Pavia said. “They would provide a valuable service to the residents of our community. Not everyone can afford to pay for high-speed internet.”

In addition to free WiFi, the LinkNYC portals offer users free phone calls, easy access to the 911 and 311 systems, maps and social services platforms through a LinkNYC network. The kiosks are also equipped to serve as charging stations for people seeking to charge their cell phones and other mobile devices.

More than 3.5 million people have used the free WiFi since the first LinkNYC stations were installed in 2016, according to city officials. The 9.5-foot-tall kiosks contain 55-inch high-definition screens on both sides.

The panels replaced the old pay telephones that used to line the sidewalks.

There are currently more than 1,600 LinkNYC kiosks on New York City sidewalks, including an abundance of them in trendy, upscale Brooklyn neighborhoods like Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights and Williamsburg.

The city plans to install 7,500 LinkNYC kiosks over the next several years.

In Park Slope, the kiosks also list the arrival times of buses at local bus stops. The bus time information was installed under a pilot program.

Other neighborhoods, like Sunset Park, have also been linked up to LinkNYC. Along a 13-block stretch of Fourth Avenue from 24th Street to 37th Street, there are six kiosks.

Residents seeking to vote for capital budget projects in their neighborhoods as part of the City Council’s Participatory Budgeting program could find ballots on their local LinkNYC kiosks.

But there is a dearth of the tall, sleek-looking technology stations in Bensonhurst and other Southwest Brooklyn communities, according to local elected officials, who are calling on the New York City Department of

A LinkNYC in Sunset Park.

Information Technology and Telecommunications, the agency responsible for the program, to rectify the situation.

Councilmember Justin Brannan posted a map of Brooklyn on his Twitter page to illustrate the lack of LinkNYC in Southwest Brooklyn.

“It’s just not fair that the wealthiest communities in New York City have an abundance of free WiFi and neighborhoods like Bensonhurst and Dyker Heights don’t have a single LinkNYC WiFi kiosk. Going forward, LinkNYC must fulfill its franchise agreement and provide kiosks to underserved areas from Bay Ridge to Coney Island to Brownsville,” Brannan told this paper via email.

On his Twitter page, Brannan called Southwest Brooklyn “a WiFi-free

ebrooklyn media/Photo by Paula Katinas

desert.”

Councilmember Mark Treyger said he is annoyed at the absence of LinkNYC portals in his district.

Treyger charged that the haphazard rollout of the program is turning New York into a city of technology haves and have-nots.

“Internet services are not cheap, and neither are internet-capable devices. Meanwhile, internet access can be critical when looking for employment, researching for academic purposes, medical services, banking or other financial services, and news and information. Many an employer requires employees to be available electronically, too,” he wrote in an op-ed in this newspaper. “I believe strongly that your zip code should not be a determining factor in what

opportunities are made available to you.”

Mayor Bill de Blasio first announced a plan to bring free WiFi to New York City streets in 2014 with a promise to include all five boroughs. The city hired a consortium called CityBridge to install the kiosks.

Officials from the Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications briefed CB 11 on the plans in 2014 and told the board they were scouting possible locations on Kings Highway, 86th Street, New Utrecht Avenue and 18th Avenue. “But since that time, we have received no updates,” Elias-Pavia said.

The Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications issued a statement in response to inquiries from this paper.

“LinkNYC is a pioneering and successful initiative, already connecting more than 3.9 million New Yorkers and visitors to superfast WiFi, free calling, and more—at zero cost to taxpayers. Since the public launch in 2016, more than 1,600 Links are active across all five boroughs with thousands more set to be deployed over the next few years. Link deployment follows the installation of high-speed fiber optic cables along corridors through the city. We look forward to each of the thousands more that will hit the streets in the next few years, including those in Southwest Brooklyn,” the statement reads.

Crime in Ridge, Dyker trending downwards

BY BRANDON SAPIENZA EDITORIAL@BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM

W

hile crime, citywide, is heading down overall, the 68th Precinct in Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights is outpacing not only the citywide average in terms of crime reduction but also the rest of the precincts in Patrol Borough Brooklyn South (PBBS).

At the May meeting of the 68th Precinct Community Council, Captain Robert Conwell, the precinct’s commander, told members that the precinct, which has seen a continued drop in felony crime over the last several years, was leading Brooklyn South in terms of crime reduction.

As of June 3, the precinct was down in the seven index crimes (murder, rape, robbery, felonious assault, burglary, grand larceny and

grand larceny auto or GLA) 20.34 percent, compared to the same point in 2017.

In comparison, PBBS, which comprises 13 precincts from Coney Island to Carroll Gardens, was down 8.67 percent in the seven index crimes over the same time period.

“We're looking at the top recidivists, the top offenders. We're trying to watch the right people, the guys known to commit crime in the 68th Precinct,” Conwell told this paper.

Last year at this time, a total of 354 index crimes was reported, compared to 282 so far in 2018.

There have been decreases in burglary (down 42.1 percent year to date, with 33 in 2018 as opposed to 57 in 2017), robbery (down 36.1 percent, with 23 in 2018 as opposed to 36 in 2017), felonious assault (down 30.6 percent, with 34 in 2018 as opposed

to 49 in 2017), grand larceny (down 11.8 percent, with 150 in 2018 as opposed to 170 in 2017) and GLA (down 2.9 percent, with 33 in 2018 as opposed to 34 in 2017). Rapes are flat, with eight so far in 2018, the same number as at this point last year. There has been one murder so far this year; at this point in 2018, there had been none.

The number of shootings victims and incidents is stagnant, with just one each reported at this time in both 2017 and 2018.

Besides targeted police work, Conwell also credited residents for the decrease in crime in the precinct.

“We're also getting a lot of help from the community,” he said. “They let us know what's going on and where, and we go and investigate.”

Civic leaders plan ahead for Dyker Christmas Lights

BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

I

f you think June is much too soon to start thinking about Christmas, you haven’t met Josephine Beckmann or Fran Vella-Marrone.

Six months before the holiday season, Beckmann, the district manager of Community Board 10, and Vella-Marrone, the president of the Dyker Heights Civic Association, are busy planning ahead for the Dyker Heights Christmas lights display, an extravaganza involving homeowners who erect elaborate decorations on their front lawns featuring giant Santas, two-story-tall figures from “The Nutcracker Suite,” realistic-looking reindeer, giant inflatable snow globes, thousands of twinkling lights and piped-in music.

The elaborate displays are found in the area bounded by 82nd and 86th streets, between 10th and 13th Avenues.

This year, Beckmann and Vella-Marrone are redoubling efforts they have made in the past to convince the city to flood the area with cops and create a comprehensive traffic safety plan.

To help prepare their argument, Beckmann and the community board decided to take the pulse of the neighborhood. They conducted a survey to find out how residents feel about the

holiday extravaganza that unfolds on their streets. “We wanted direct feedback,” Beckmann told this newspaper.

The community board mailed out 975 surveys to Dyker Heights residents living in the holiday lights zone and got back 151 responses. A college intern working in the community board’s office read through the responses and organized them into a report.

Beckmann presented Vella-Marrone with a copy of the survey at a Dyker Heights Civic Association meeting on June 12 at St. Philip’s Episcopal Church Hall at 1072 80th St. Thousands of tourists from around the country flock to Dyker Heights each year to take in the over-the-top sights.

While the tourists are welcome, the traffic congestion they bring isn’t, according to Vella-Marrone, who has lived in Dyker Heights nearly all of her life.

The streets of Dyker Heights become clogged with tour buses, commuter vans, food vendors and pedestrians crowd onto the sidewalks, Vella-Marrone said.

The community is having trouble handling the overflow, she said. “This isn’t Times Square,” she added.

Beckmann said it gets so bad that some homeowners can’t even get their cars out of their driveways because of the constant flow of tour

A peak at the annual Dyker Heights Christmas Lights.

buses coming down the street.

The Christmas lights season runs from the day after Thanksgiving until around Jan. 6. “But the peak period is the two weeks before Christmas,” Beckmann said.

The survey found that residents enjoy the fact that the Christmas lights display has made their neighborhood world famous, but they also feel that the city should be doing much more to solve the traffic problems.

“It was very interesting,” said Beckmann, who added that the responses

mirrored concerns that had already been raised by the community board and by the civic association, including the lack of traffic control measures.

Vella-Marrone, who said she intends to post the survey on the civic association’s website, called on the city to assign more traffic control agents to the neighborhood and adopt a “zero tolerance” policy toward street vendors.

Vella-Marrone said she sees the vendors as the main crux of the problem. “They cause a backlog in the flow of traffic. They create a choke point.

And the exhaust from the truck fumes causes air pollution,” she said.

Another problem: many of the vendors sell food items, and the tourists throw food wrappers and other trash on the sidewalk. “It makes the place dirty. It leads to sanitation problems,” Vella-Marrone said.

Last year, Community Board 10 and Dyker Civic requested that the de Blasio administration issue a street activity permit to the community board to allow for stricter guidelines, including a traffic safety plan, to be put in place for the month-long event.

The request was denied. The 68th Precinct assigned additional officers to the area, but neighborhood officials were left on their own to figure things out.

Board 11 asks NYPD to find parking spaces for cops

BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

T

he streets surrounding the 62nd Police Precinct are so jammed with cars that it’s hard for cops to find parking spaces when they arrive to begin a busy shift of protecting local residents from crime, according to Community Board 11 officials, who are trying to help the officers.

Board 11 Chairperson William Guarinello said his members are sympathetic to the cops’ plight. “They’re in a tough position,” he said at the community board’s June 14 meeting at the Bensonhurst Center for Rehabilitation and Health, 1740 84th St. Guarinello said the community board will soon be sending a letter to the New York Police Department asking the NYPD to scout the area around the precinct for possible sites for off-street parking for cops, Guarinello said.

There are several reasons parking spots are hard to come by, according to community board leaders.

The station house sits across the street from the Muslim American Society Youth Center located at 1933 Bath Ave., and parents and staff members park their cars on the side street of Bay 22nd Street, just as the cops do.

In addition, P.S. 200 is located at 1940 Benson Ave., a block away from the precinct. Teachers park their cars near the school.

All of this adds up to a serious shortage of parking spaces, according to Guarinello.

While parking problems persist in

Bath Beach and Bensonhurst, a new pilot program championed by the city will be removing parking spaces from residents and handing those spaces over to car share programs. Mayor Bill de Blasio and Transportation Commissioner Polly Trottenberg announced the program on May 31.

Under the experiment, 309 parking spots around the five boroughs will dedicated to cars in car share programs.

The vast majority, 285 parking spaces, will be at on-street locations and at municipal parking lots. The other 24

spaces dedicated to Zipcar autos will be set aside at New York City Housing Authority sites.

Through car sharing, drivers can gain access to a car for short-term uses, usually just a few hours. Car share companies participating in the city’s pilot program will be offering roundtrip service with drivers taking the cars and returning them later to the same location.

The mayor sought to emphasize that car share programs are important to the environment.

“For every vehicle in a car share program, up to 20 households can forgo the need to own a car, fighting congestion and making our air cleaner.

We’re also bringing more car share options to NYCHA residents to help them get around, so we can continue building the fairest big city in America,” he stated.

Marnee Elias-Pavia, district manager of Community Board 11, said Bensonhurst is slated for six of the dedicated parking spaces in the pilot program.

Four spots will be reserved for Zipcars at the municipal parking lot 1763 86th St. and another two will be in the municipal lot at 1 Bay 26th St., she said.

Parking problems mounting in Dyker Heights, residents say

BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

t’s hard enough to find a parking space in Dyker Heights without having the deal with illegal curb cuts that eliminate precious spots and greedy business owners who leave their commercial vehicles parked on the streets overnight, frustrated residents told the local police commander at a meeting on June 12.

Parking and traffic issues dominated the discussion at the Dyker Heights Civic Association (DHCA) meeting where Capt. Robert Conwell, the commanding officer of the 68th Precinct, was met with numerous questions about the city’s slow response to quality-of-life concerns.

But there was a lingering question on exactly what police can do to solve certain parking problems and whether some issues could be better handled by the New York City Department of Buildings (DOB) or New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

The June 12 session, which took place at Saint Philip’s Episcopal

Church Hall at 1072 80th St., served as block, 78th Street between 10th and Conwell’s official introduction to the 11th Avenues, which has no seats and civic association. Conwell, took the is always filled with construction helm of the 68th Precinct in March. equipment. “It’s obvious it’s being The precinct covers Dyker Heights used for business.

On illegal curb cuts, DHCA President Fran Vella-Marrone recommended that residents file complaints with DOB. Complaints can be filed online at https://on.nyc.gov/1akVIJG. Residents at the meeting also talked to Conwell about traffic issues.

Motorists speeding along 10th Avenue and drivers running red lights on Fort Hamilton Parkway and 79th Street were chief among the concerns.

Conwell said he would investigate.

Bob Cassara, a longtime Dyker Heights resident, told Conwell he is tired of seeing large trucks barreling up and down his Bay Ridge Parkway block. “Bay Ridge Parkway is not a truck route,” he said.

Cassara requested that police hit the truckers with summonses. “You can have all the laws you want but if there’s no enforcement, it still goes on. People have been turning a blind eye to it,” he said.

“We do enforce truck routes,” Conwell told Cassara, adding that he would have the precinct’s cops be on the lookout for wayward truckers.

Annual Race for Autism event another success for Harbor Fitness, HeartShare

BY JAIME DEJESUS JDEJESUS@BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM

T

he annual Race for Autism 5K Run/Walk, hosted by Harbor Fitness through Bay Ridge, was another success.

Over 230 runners participated in the Sunday, June 10 event designed to raise money for children with special needs. HeartShare, which offers quality education and therapies to children and young adults diagnosed with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including autism, receives the funds raised.

The 5K race began in front of Harbor Fitness at 92nd St. and Fourth Ave. Runners ran through Fort Hamilton Army Base, then back to the gym. The day also featured a block party, pee wee run, Zumba warm-up, raffles and more, including Feats of Strength, a program that pitted attendees in strength competitions.

Cyclones take opening season series with the Yanks

BY JIM DOLAN “I’m glad to be back in Brooklyn; I’m home,” said a grateful returning Rich Donnelly as he welcomed the media to the dugout for player interviews two days before the start of the season’s opener in Staten Island.

This year the Cyclones’ 2011 to 2013 manager returns as Brooklyn’s bench coach for Manager Edgardo Alfonzo’s second season at the helm.

After coaching two seasons for the Seattle Mariners at third base and a short stint as manager of a midwest independent baseball team, the suburban Steubenville, Ohio native was elated to come back to Brooklyn where he had become accustomed to living as an urban Sheepshead Bay summer resident.

As a part of his duties to start this season, Donnelly filled in as the Cyclones’ manager while former New York Met Alfonzo was in the Dominican Republic for his induction into the Latin American Hall of Fame.

Starting the season in Staten Island on Friday evening June 15, the Cyclones locked horns with the Yankee pitcher Matt Sauers in a scoreless tie up to the fifth inning.

Twenty-year-old Brooklyn pitcher Christian James held the opposition to four hits, one walk, no runs along with three strikeouts over five innings for a “no-decision” in the Yankees’ 3-1 opening day win.

With Yankee catcher Ryan Lidge behind the plate, designated hitter Kendall Coleman drove the ball into the right field bleachers for a grand slam homer.

James, a 2016 high school draftee out of Florida, said that he was really excited to be named the opening day pitcher stating, “I just can’t wait to go out there.” Sharing his game plan, James said, “I’m looking to throw strikes, command the zone and let my defense help me out.”

Along with his outfield defense that ran down several long hit balls for possible extra base hits, James also helped his own cause when he picked

off a runner on second base to erase a possible run.

On the following day, the Cyclones shared the Coney Island stage with the Mermaid Parade for their home opener with a sold-out crowd of 7,702 for a 7-0 win over the Yankees.

Just the evening before in Staten Island, Kendall Coleman paced the dugout practicing his swing during the game and said, “Even though I’m not in the game tonight, I’ll be ready when my time comes.”

Coleman’s statement proved to be true when he cracked a grand slam home run into the bleachers in the fifth inning to give Brooklyn a 5-0 lead.

“I was just trying to drive the ball for a hit or fly to the outfield to score a run,” Coleman recounted.

Instead, the former Staten Island Yankee got all of the pitch to park the ball over the right field fence against a steady wind from the ocean.

Commenting on the team’s first win, Donnelly stated that once it returned to Brooklyn, the team fed off the excitement of its own opening day. “I think the Mermaid Parade also got them loose.

Once they saw the Mermaids on the street, that relaxed them,” quipped Donnelly.

Returning to Staten Island on Fathers’ Day to finish their opening weekend series, the Cyclones brought some of that Coney Island excitement back over to Richmond County Bank Ballpark for a late eighth and ninth inning rally to win the weekend series and the game, 4-2.

Focus on Bay Ridge

Jane Kelly and Friends At BRCC Dinner-Dance

By Charles F. Otey

BRCC Marks its 67th Successful Year with Bay Ridge Manor Fete

President Succar Reveals New Formula To Sustain Valued Civic Organization Last Thursday evening, as a packed assemblage filled the Bay Ridge Manor’s main room, Bay Ridge Community Council (BRCC) President Ralph Succar did an excellent job of leading the honors agenda, singling out Arlene Keating and Patrick Colabella as winners of the BRCC’s coveted Civic Award.

At the same time, he was answering questions about significant changes in the BRCC structure. Initially composed of local organizations, its membership policy is now shifting to enable individuals as well as organizations to become active members.

In addition, Succar said in a letter made public last week, “We are also giving our Executive Board additional authority in the decision-making process.”

A bit of history: When the BRCC was launched back in the 1950s, large-

ly through the efforts of brothers Walter and Vincent Kassenbrock, it was conceived as an umbrella organization that would give the Greater Bay Ridge community a greater impact on local issues.

The primary issue in those days was opposition to the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, which, thanks to “Master Builder” Robert Moses, threatened to cut a swath through Bay Ridge, razing thousands of dwellings and evicting many thousands of residents.

It was with some degree of irony that a uniting group of neighborhoods lost the battle of the bridge, but, by coming together under the umbrella of the BRCC, Fort Hamilton, Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights were able to speak with a much more powerful voice.

Until community planning boards

came along 20 years later, the BRCC and its various committees were the “court of last resort” for citizens to be heard — and often, aided — as they dealt with problems of the challenging age.

Times change, however, and volunteer organizations have seen dwindling numbers of volunteers. Thus, it was agreed by most that changing the BRCC’s basic structure could encourage more individuals to take part in its many positive and youth-oriented activities.

One of its most successful endeavors is the Halloween Window Painting Art Contest, originally designed to interest young people in art as opposed to graffiti, which has brought thousands of young artists out with their watercolors to offer their creative works on the windows of willing and appreciative storekeepers.

BRCC’s Success Formula: A Core of Dedicated Volunteers

Even though the BRCC has thrived as an umbrella organization, it’s well known that at its center it has traditionally benefitted from a group of leaders who give more than their share of volunteer time.

In earlier days, people like Jane Kelly, the Kassenbrock Brothers, Marie DiResta, Bob Hedlund and several others led the way.

Building on the Kassenbrock years are people such as Mary Ann Walsh,

Barbara Vellucci (who recently succeeded Walsh as head of the Kassenbrock Brothers Scholarship Fund) and current officers Succar, First Vice President Ilene Sacco (who also volunteers to head the upcoming Summer Stroll on 3rd), Second Vice President Janet Gounis, Treasurer Nick Nikolopoulos, Executive Secretary Bob Kassenbrock, Recording Secretary Joanna Succar, Historian Eileen Potter and Parliamentarian Jane Kelly.

Many community leaders also serve on the BRCC board. To name just a few: Mary and Vincent Bocchino, Gloria Melnick, Linda Orlando, Kate Cucco, Josephine Beckmann (who is also district manager for Community Board 10), Dean Rasinya, Irene Hanvey, Eleanor Sabbagh and Maria Makrinos.

With true leaders like this, it’s possible to see why there has been such a positive response to Succar’s announcement of the BRCC’s shift to individual membership.

While we’re naming names, it’s important to name a few of the BRCC’s Civic Award winners of recent years, such as state Sen. Marty Golden (back when he led the Fifth Avenue Board of Trade), Sara Otey (then editor of the Home Reporter), Ted General (Home Reporter columnist who provides excellent publicity for the BRCC and other organizations), former Councilmember Vincent Gentile and Bob Howe (president of the Merchants of Third Avenue).

Week of June 22-28, 2018 • BROOKLYN SPECTATOR • 21

THE WORLD WON!

A

lthough many would choose to criticize literally anything that President Trump does, I find it difficult to take exception with his efforts relating to North Korea. Although the jury is still out on the full extent of the negotiations last week, it seems apparent to me that Donald Trump did what most would have considered impossible six months ago.

The president brought the North Korean dictator to the table to discuss denuclearization, the official end of the Korean War, human rights issues and some normalization of relations between the U.S. and North Korea. The president’s efforts have also assisted our ally South Korea in a new dialogue with the North.

When President Obama essentially restored relations with Cuba, most Americans praised his efforts.

Obama received no concessions. His argument was permeated by the “it’s about time” argument.

That’s a lame one by any standard.

Call me a cynic, but I felt at the time that many Americans were more interested in a new cruising option to Cuba than human rights violations.

The president’s negotiations with North Korea clearly take into account the “America First” doctrine that the Trump administration has become known for advocating.

CNN in the hours following the conclusion of the summit was trying to figure out who won. How about this for an analysis: The world won and President Trump led the way. *** The mayor’s attempt to change the admission standards for the city’s specialized high schools has met with significant resistance from many communities in the city and no community has been more vocal in opposition then the large Asian community.

The mayor has mobilized so many against the proposed change that a rally last week that was called with 48-hour notice garnered well over 1,000 people at City Hall.

State Senator Marty Golden (whom I serve as chief of staff) was the keynote speaker together with Marc Molinaro, the GOP candidate for governor. Both are strongly opposed to the mayor’s proposal.

The blaze occurred inside the second floor of a two-story home on Bay Ridge Parkway between 20th and 21st Avenues at around 5:44 p.m. According to the FDNY, the fire was deemed under control at around 6:46 p.m.

FDNY said that multiple houses were damaged by the fire, but no injuries were sustained.
