BY JAIME DEJESUS jdejesus@brooklynreporter.com Borough President Eric Adams hosted the borough’s fifth annual International Day of Friendship on Sunday, Aug. 5. The popular event that included hundreds of attendees began at 1 p.m., with participants marching from Fulton Street and Flatbush Avenue toward Brooklyn Borough Hall. It is the signature event in Adams’ “Embrace Your Hyphen” campaign that encourages Americans to honor their diversity. As in past years, New Yorkers from more than 80 countries carried the flags of 195 nations in a Unity Parade of Flags. Following the parade, the festivities at Brooklyn Borough Hall and Columbus Park featured performances from a wide variety of local groups representing cultures from around the globe, as well as food from many nations. Radio personality Roxie Digital from 103.9 FM emceed the event. Due to the current political climate, this year’s event was a bit different. With the recent detention and deportation of imigrant New Yorkers by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on their minds, speakers stressed the importance of multiculturalism in Brooklyn. “International Day of Friendship is our opportunity to acknowledge the friendships we have,” said Adams. “No matter what happens nationally, locally is where it matters. We are all immigrants in America. If someone tells you to go back to your country, you tell them you will when they go back to theirs.”

“On #InternationalDayofFriendship, joined @BPEricAdams in Brooklyn to celebrate his campaign to #EmbraceYourHyphen,” wrote New York Lieutenant Gov. Kathy Hochul, who was in attendance, on Twitter. “There is beauty in diversi-ty, and the flags representing almost 200 countries worldwide show that Brooklynites are proud of their heritage.” Attendees and participants also discussed the day of solidarity. “WAW (WomenforAfghanWomen) joined Brooklyn Borough President @BPEricAdams at the 5th Annual International Day of Friendship Celebration along with other communities,” the group tweeted. “International Day of Friendship is celebrated — the Brooklyn event celebrated this around the world -incredible borough’s diversity.” “We had an awesome day representing and celebrating South Africa at the International Day of Friendship in Brooklyn hosted by @BPEricAdams,” an attendee wrote on Twitter. “Thank you to our Consul General, Mrs. Mathula Nkosi and Deputy Consul, Ms. Abeeda Solomon for all their great work and support.” The celebration also presented a global dance party and Global Village, featuring tents from countries around the world showcasing their cultures, cuisines, and customs. “We close out every International Day of Friendship celebration by uniting to sing ‘We are the World,’” added Adams. “Brooklyn reflects the beautiful diversity of the world, and more than ever we need to sing out.”

Watchtower Sign Was Illegal, Buildings Department Says
Legal Fight Begins Over Replacement of Famous Sign on Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Former Brooklyn Heights HQ By Lore Croghan Brooklyn Eagle
The famous Watchtower sign was illegal for its entire half-century existence. The Squibb sign that originally stood in its place was illegal, too. That’s the city Buildings Department’s stunning assertion — and its rationale for why it denied the owner of the former Jehovah’s Witnesses’ headquarters in Brooklyn Heights permission to replace the Watch-
tower sign atop 30 Columbia Heights. The property’s owner, Columbia Heights Associates, is appealing the city agency’s decision. Lawyers for the landlord and the Buildings Department duked it out at a city Board of Standards and Appeals hearing Tuesday night at Spector Hall in Lower Manhattan. As a consequence of this legal battle, the void in Brooklyn’s shoreline scenery that

Jehovah’s Witnesses Moved Upstate After Headquarters Sale
Columbia Heights Associates bought the five-building Watchtower headquarters complex for $340 million in 2016. The Jehovah’s Witnesses sold 25-30 Columbia Heights because they relocated their world headquarters to upstate Warwick, New York. Columbia Heights Associates is redeveloping the property, which is across the street from Brooklyn Bridge Park, into an office and retail complex called Panorama. Columbia Heights Associates is a joint venture made up of CIM Group and LIVWRK Holdings. Kushner Cos. initially was part of the joint venture but sold its stake in the property to CIM Group this year. Jared Kushner headed Kushner Cos. until he stepped aside to serve as senior adviser to his father-in-law, President Donald Trump.

Saturday Park Slope Summer Stroll Continues By John Alexander INBrooklyn
It was a very nice turnout as crowds gathered to walk along Fifth from 12th to 18th streets and enjoy a variety of activities along the way. While last week’s event ended early due to the weather, this week’s stroll, sponsored by the Park Slope Fifth Avenue Business Improvement District, was packed from beginning to end. Activities included bouncy rides for children at 12th and 13th streets. Crunch Gym demonstrated kickboxing for kids and there was yoga and stick aerobics for adults along streets lined with artificial turf. Also, the legendary Bubble Guy formed giant bubbles as he entertained crowds of kids. Highlights along the stroll route were the South Brooklyn Shakespeare Company’s performance of Shakespeare’s “The Winter’s Tale” and a display of vintage cars along Fifth Avenue. There was outdoor seating at select restaurants and live music. The Paprika Marching Band performed, clowns entertained kids by spinning plates, and checkers, chess and Jenga tables were set up. And in a show of community spirit, cops from the 78th Precinct played bean toss with the strollers. There were prizes for those who spun the wheel at the YMCA table and, all in all, it was a memorable stroll for everyone who attended. Upcoming events include the North Slope Stroll 1 on Aug. 11 from 5-9 p.m. with a salsa dance party and silent disco and the North Slope Stroll 2 on Aug. 18 from 5-8 p.m. featuring A stroller spins for prizes at the YMCA the Artichoke Pizza eating contest. table.

Ribbon-cutting ceremony Theatre for Kids and Families Opens in Park Slope welcoming Premier By John Alexander INBROOKLYN
Play Nice Theatre has begun its season of lighthearted musicals with positive, life-affirming messages about cooperation and kindness. And they’re looking for their July/August cast, musicians, and backstage helpers. Relocated from Manhattan, this all-volunteer company’s rehearsals and meetings reflect their mission and message by encouraging its mixed-generation cast and crew (ages 6 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 ten 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 informed. 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.

B’klyn DA: Low-Level Marijuana Prosecutions 91 Percent FACESDown BEHIND By Rob Abruzzese INBrooklyn
The mayor and the police commissioner announced in June that the city will have a new policy when it comes to marijuana arrests, but Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez has attempted to lead the way on the issue. His office announced on Friday that low-level marijuana prosecutions have dropped by more than 91 percent between January and June of this year. Gonzalez said that due to the success of the new policy the Brooklyn DA’s Office will continue to decline to prosecute most marijuana cases. “Aggressive enforcement and prosecution of personal possession and use of marijuana does not keep us safer, and the glaring racial disparities in who is and is not arrested have contributed to a sense among many in our communities that the system is unfair,” Gonzalez said. “This in turn contributes to a lack of trust in law enforcement, which makes us all less safe. “That is why, earlier this year, we expanded our existing non-prosecution policy to include smoking cases,” he continued. “That pilot policy proved to be effective in dramatically reducing the number of low-level marijuana cases processed in court, freeing resources and strengthening trust in the justice system. I intend to maintain thisTurkish approach and to• 1 (800) 874-8875 Airlines only prosecute the most egregious Turkish Airlines makes travel dreams come true.

Taken together, the number of cases that were accepted for prosecution this year declined from 349 in January to 29 in June — a drop of 91.6 percent. Of the cases that were prosecuted between January and June 2018, 84 percent resulted in a dismissal (by either an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal or by other means), according to the Brooklyn DA's Office.

Advertorial D.A.N.N.Y. Inc. to host Dare To Care Day for anti-bullying Maureen Fitzpatrick, mother of 13-year-Danny who committed suicide due to excessive bullying on August 11, 2016, has founded D.A.N.N.Y Inc., a non-profit organization to raise awareness to bullying and will be hosting another event in Danny’s name. On Saturday, August 18, D.A.N.N.Y. INC. will host Dare To Care Day, a charity softball/carnival event at Mid Island Babe Ruth League Ballfield, 1322 Travis Avenue in Staten Island, starting at 11 a.m. “It’s emotional for me because I created this for Danny to honor his life and the idea behind this foundation is to hopefully help educate people about bullying and suicide prevention, what bullying can do, and show people that bullying does affect a person to the point that they will be suicidal like it did to my son, and that it does happen more often than we think in this country,” said Fitzpatrick. “It’s more about raising awareness and promoting kindness. We all have to treat each other well, be respectful, take accountability, understand and be more empathetic to one another.” That idea, Fitzpatrick said, and the founding of D.A.N.N.Y Inc. is based on the “true essence of who Danny was” – a kind soul and an even brighter light.

HOROSCOPES August 9 - August 15, 2018 ♋ CANCER Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, it is very easy to get wrapped up in the problems of others. But sometimes you have to let others work things out on their own. Offer advice if it is sought. ♌ LEO Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, behind the big lionХs roar beats the heart of a pussy cat. Your sensitive side is bound to come through this week, when you may provide comfort to a person in need. ♍ VIRGO Aug 24/Sept 22 What you show to the public may not be the true Virgo you keep close to yourself. Let a few intimate details sneak out, and you may be surprised at the reactions. ♎ LIBRA Sept 23/Oct 23 This is a prime time to nurture business relationships that could push your employment career into a new direction, Libra. There are many possibilities at your disposal. ♏ SCORPIO Oct 24/Nov 22 It can be difficult for your detailed-oriented self to draw the line at what to include in a task and what to leave out. You strive for perfection in all you do, Scorpio. ♐ SAGITTARIUS Nov 23/Dec 21 You are wondering if you should play it safe or dance closer to the edge this week, Sagittarius. It may be because you are feeling trapped by routine. Change can be good. ♑ CAPRICORN Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you want to be there for all the people who may need your assistance. But avoid stretching yourself too thin so you can approach each situation energetically. ♒ AQUARIUS Jan 21/Feb 18 Choose your battles, Aquarius. There are not enough hours in the day to be an activist for every cause. Only select the ones that you truly feel strongly about. ♓ PISCES Feb 19/Mar 20 Try not to record every moment on social media, Pisces. ItХs good to leave an aura of mystery from time to time and enjoy the moments. ♈ ARIES Mar 21/Apr 20 It can be challenging to silence your suspicious mind, Aries. Not everyone is trying to pull the wool over your eyes. Avoid gossip whenever possible, and youХll be fine. ♉ TAURUS Apr 21/May 21 Wear your heart on your sleeve, Taurus. Doing so may endear you to others. It may seem like youХre putting all your cards on the table, but youХre showing youХre genuine. ♊ GEMINI May 22/Jun 21 Toning things down is not necessarily your style, Gemini. But this week you may want to keep a few details to yourself. Maintain a low profile for the next few days.

W
hen the Brooklyn Bavarian Biergarten first opened, there was great anticipation that it would be a unique new addition to the borough’s summer landscape. After all, it was the brainchild of the folks behind the Grand Prospect Hall, one of the finest event venues in Brooklyn.

It’s open rain or shine on weekends and there’s a large selection of imported beers to help wash down the delicious traditional German and American cuisine. And that’s not all, the venue also serves

Come See Tiny Streets Near Bay Ridge’s 69th Street Pier By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn
Everybody in Bay Ridge loves the 69th Street Pier, with its excellent views of Lower Manhattan skyscrapers and the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. Now that the NYC Ferry stops at the pier, it's especially popular. When you visit the American Veterans Memorial Pier, as it's officially called, there's an interesting walk to take afterwards. Head up 69th Street — or Bay Ridge Avenue, which is what the street signs say. You'll find several singleblock streets, all picturesque and peaceful. Start at Madeline Court, the street that's furthest from the pier. This cul-de-sac is on the block between Ridge Boulevard and Third Avenue. To find Madeline Court's entrance, walk up the avenue and around the corner to 68th Street. Madeline Court is lined with red-brick Tudor-style rowhouses built in the 1940s. They are decorated with timber and have slate roofs. To give you an idea of what the homes are worth, last year 6821 Madeline Court sold for $890,000, city Finance Department records show.
Here’s a close-up look at Madeline Court rowhouses near the corner of 68th Street.
Come See Cul-de-Sacs by the Bay Ridge Shoreline By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn
INBrooklyn photos by Lore Croghan
In about 10 seconds you'll see two brick houses with a short staircase between them. The stairs lead to a landscaped central garden with walkways on either side. This pedestrianonly cul-de-sac is called Colonial Gardens. It's secluded and very nifty. The house at 10 Colonial Gardens is for sale at an asking price of $1.165 million, a posting by listing agent Anthony Mussolino of Ben Bay Realty says. It's got three bedrooms and a garage. The last time this house changed hands, which was 2011, it sold for $650,000, Finance Department records indicate. On one side of the entrance to Colonial Gardens, a standalone house whose address is 8915 Narrows Ave. is under renovation by new owners. They bought the house for $1.43 million in December, Finance Department records show. • If you step over to Shore Road — which runs into Narrows Avenue right beside Colonial Gardens — and walk until you cross 86th Street, you will find Shore Road Lane. It's a paved cul-de-sac that runs beside Fort Hamilton High School. There's a handful of big, beautiful suburban houses on the lane.
You can live by the shoreline AND have a Tudor house with cobblestones outside your front door. That's a dreamy combo, as far as we're concerned. We're talking about Shore Court, a Bay Ridge cul-de-sac off 89th Street. It's oh-so-close to Shore Road, with its views of New York Harbor. And Shore Court is one of the only streets in the neighborhood that is paved with Belgian blocks, as cobblestones are officially called. The semi-detached houses on this dandy dead-end street are half-stucco, half-brick, with timber decorations and steep roofs. This time of year, roses are growing in many of the front gardens. To give you an idea of what the houses are worth, 8902 Shore Court sold for $1.11 million in October, city Finance Department records show. The house has a large side yard because it's on a corner lot. As an indication of how prices have appreciated over the years, 8924 Shore Court sold for $869,000 in 2009, Finance Department records show. Two other mini-streets nearby also hug the shoreline: * When you leave Shore Court, walk down 89th Street to Narrows Avenue and turn south. ABOVE: Welcome to Shore Court, one of Bay Ridge's most beautiful cul-de-sacs.
A fine summer sky brightens this view of the terrific Tudors on Bay Cliff Terrace.
Cobblestones on Bay Ridge Place
After you see Madeline Court, walk back to 69th Street — aka Bay Ridge Avenue — to find the entrance to Bay Ridge Place. It, too, is located between Ridge Boulevard and Third Avenue. There are cobblestones on Bay Ridge Place — and creamy-hued, barrel-shaped rowhouses that are a century old. It's a full-block street, not a dead-end, that runs from 69th Street to Ovington Avenue. You should also see three other tiny streets near the 69th Street Pier: • Bay Cliff Terrace is a dead-end street with its sole entrance on 68th Street on the block between Ridge Boulevard and Colonial Road. It is lined with terrific brick Tudor rowhouses, some with colorful decorative accents. • On the block between Colonial Road and Narrows Avenue, there's a single-block street called Bliss Terrace. It runs between 68th Street — which serves as a border of Owl's Head Park at this point — and 69th Street. The park was originally industrialist Eliphalet W. Bliss's estate. He bequeathed the property to the city. Bliss Terrace is named after him. Many of the street's handsome brick rowhouses have lovely front gardens. To give you an idea of what the homes are worth, 6825 Bliss Terrace sold for $1.1 million in February 2017, Finance Department records indicate. And 6806 Bliss Terrace sold for $729,000 in a November 2015 estate sale, Finance Department records show. • Owls Head Court is located between Narrows Avenue and Shore Road, just a block away from the entrance to the 69th Street Pier. That's not a typo. The city Buildings Department and Finance Department do not use an apostrophe in the word “Owls” when referring to this street. Owls Head Court, which is lined with small, low-rise brick apartment buildings, runs between the 68th Street border of Owl's Head Park and 69th Street.

The handsome house in the foreground of this photo is 6655 Sedgwick Place.
The nifty old-fashioned house in the foreground is 6660 Sedgwick Place. By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn
Up at the northern edge of Bay Ridge, two single-block streets that stand side by side bear the names of distinguished area residents of the 19th century. They are Bergen Place and Sedgwick Place, which both run between 67th Street and Wakeman Place on the block between Ridge Boulevard and Colonial Road.
Come See Victorian Houses on Bergen Place and Sedgwick Place
Bergen Place is named after Teunis Bergen, according to the helpful book “Brooklyn by Name” by Leonard Benardo and Jennifer Weiss. Bergen, who lived from 1806 to 1881, was a farmer and surveyor who served one term in the United States Congress from 1865 to 1867. Before that, his varied political and civic responsibilities had included the position of supervisor of the town of New Utrecht, of which Bay Ridge was a part. Back in those days, Bay Ridge was called Yellow Hook — a name that lost its appeal because of yellow fever epidemics. While Bergen was New Utrecht's town supervisor, he presided over an 1853 meeting where a resolution to change Yellow Hook's name to Bay Ridge was passed, Ted General notes in a comment posted on the website Hey Ridge. A Hey Ridge story about Bergen says he co-founded the Long Island Historical Society, which today is known as the Brooklyn Historical Society. Bergen is buried in Green-Wood Cemetery.
Million-Dollar Homes on a Peaceful Street
Long may it wave — at 6663 Sedgwick Place.
Bergen Place is charming and peaceful, with a mix of homes constructed during different eras. Our favorite property on the street is a gigantic, fenced-in Victorian mansion on the corner of Wakeman Place that's divided down the middle into two homes. Window bays on each home have pointy roofs that look like witches' hats. The home that's closer to Wakeman Place is 6635 Bergen Place. The home that's further away is 6637 Bergen Place. Another picturesque, old-fashioned house stands on a hill and has a graceful lawn with terrific trees. Its address is 6640 Bergen Place. To give you an idea of what properties on this street are worth, city Finance Department records indicate that 6641 Bergen Place sold for $1.365 million in April.
A Shout-Out to Theodore Sedgwick
This eye-pleasing Victorian property is divided into two homes, whose addresses are 6635 Bergen Place at left and 6637 Bergen INBrooklyn photos by Lore Croghan Place at right.
Sedgwick Place is named after a family of area landowners, among them Theodore Sedgwick, who was a co-founder of Bay Ridge's Christ Church in the 1850s, the book “Brooklyn by Name” says. We're especially charmed by two big, eye-catching old homes that stand side by side on sloping lawns in the middle of the block. One of them is mustard-yellow 6655 Sedgwick Place, which has a wrap-around porch. A historic note: A deed we found on the Finance Department's website describes this property as having belonged to the estate of Theodore Sedgwick and having been sold in 1887 so the proceeds could be distributed to his heirs. The other house stands next door at 6663 Sedgwick Place. It's a classic Victorian, and has a turret with a witches' hat roof. A deed in the Finance Department's online records also identifies this property as having been included in Sedgwick's 1887 estate sale.

FAITH IN BROOKLYN From the Brooklyn Eagle Of August 16, 1909
Thunderstorm Bolsters Mood of Praising God Through Song
New Assumption Church Building Is Dedicated

The Brooklyn Eagle published a section on the dedication of the new Church of the Assumption on Cranberry St. The Roman Catholic parish had been founded in 1842. The Brooklyn Eagle reported the dedication of Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church, which took place on the parish’s patronal feast day of Aug. 15. The Assumption commemorates a Mystery of the Catholic Church (and of the Rosary) that the body of the Virgin Mary—mother of Jesus—was deemed too holy to decay and was carried into heaven. Brooklyn Diocesan Bishop Charles Edward McDonnell, who had laid the foundation of the church the previous December, presided at the dedication High Mass, with the Rev. J.F. Mealia as celebrant. “The dedicatory sermon was delivered by the Rev. William T. McGuirl, who paid a high tribute to the successful efforts of the pastor of the church, the Rev. Dr. William J. Donaldson. The interior decorations are light, with the exception of the woodwork, which is of dark oak. The walls are decorated in light colors, with gold bands. The sanctuary rail is of white and gold, and the large altar is of white marble. The organ is already in place in the loft at the entrance of the edifice. All of the windows are of stained glass and were made in Germany from special designs. The exterior of the church is of light pressed brick, terra cotta trimmings and of Italian Renaissance style. There are towers at either side of the entrance rising to a height of 124 feet. The church has a frontage of 66 feet and is 446 feet in depth. The seating capacity is one thousand. The basement, formerly used for worship, will now be utilized as a parish hall. Erected in connection with the church is a parish house for the accommodation of the clergy, and a parochial school will be ready soon. After the dedication exercises, clergymen and others taking active part in the ceremonies were the guests of the pastor of the church at dinner in the Hotel St. George. Solemn vespers were sung in the evening at half-past seven o’clock. The Rev. Edward McCue, rector at St. Joseph’s Church, Kensington, NY, officiated.”

Lord of all Creation — 2. Thor, the Norse god of thunder and lightning — 1. Over the millennia, a wealth of songs and melodies have been created, in all kinds of situations, to praise God. On Tuesday night, August 7, a group of robust hymn-lovers from several Brooklyn congregations could be heard singing David N. Johnson’s danceable “Earth and All Stars,” while an electrical storm raged outdoors. The evening’s presenter, the Rev. Dr. Allen Robinson, rector of Grace Church, even led the group in singing the beloved Christmas carol, “O Come All Ye Faithful”—perhaps as a way to cool down during the latest heat wave. The August Tuesday Hymn Sing series, which became a tradition in 2004, explores the wide treasury of hymnody from the Episcopal/Anglican tradition
as well as spirituals and new works. Next week’s presenter (Tuesday, Aug. 14 at 7 p.m.) is Pam McAllister, a church organist since age 15, music director of the Park Slope United Methodist Church, and a frequent participant in the popular Summer Sings at Grace Church Brooklyn Heights. McAllister currently blogs at “Ask Her About Hymn(s)” http://askherabouthymn. com. McAllister is a member of the Hymn Society of the United States and Canada and the American Guild of Organists-Brooklyn Chapter. She is also the author of nine published books (subjects include Shakespeare, Mark Twain, feminism, nonviolence and more). She has also written columns about sacred congregational song for two magazines: The Progressive Christian and The Hymn.

Several FPWA Scholarship Winners Hail From Brooklyn
Several of the 14 winners of this year’s FPWA scholarships are from Brooklyn or attend colleges in the borough.
Photo courtesy of the Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies
The Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies (FPWA) presented 14 college students with a $2,000 scholarship at its 2018 College Scholarship awards breakfast held recently in Lower Manhattan. Several of this year’s recipients are Brooklynites—drawn from a pool of New York residents—who are in their junior and senior year of college, and were recommended for the scholarship by FPWA’s network of community-based member agencies. Students were selected for their individual abilities to excel despite challenging circumstances and have demonstrated a strong commitment to furthering their education. The Brooklyn winners include Megan Soto, Sarah Slater, Tiara Simons, Jermaine Meadows, Jermani Faulk and Noeimie Desir. Soto, a Brooklyn College senior, said, “My dream job in life is to become a speech pathologist down the line. Right now, I am a communications major and I want to be successful, and help
children and people who are struggling.” Soto was recommended for the scholarship by Goddard Riverside Community Center. Faulk, a senior at Binghamton University, said, “My education is the most important thing to me in my life right now...this scholarship will allow a kid out of East New York, who never knew he would be in college in the first place, to be the first in his family to obtain a bachelor’s degree.” A political science major, Faulk and Meadows, another first-generation college student and physical education major, were recommended for the scholarship by Cypress Hills LDC. The FPWA college scholarships are funded by the New York Times Neediest Cases. FPWA is an anti-poverty policy and advocacy organization committed to economic opportunity and upward mobility. It has had a prominent New York presence for nearly 100 years.

NEIGHBORHOOD NEWSBEAT Where’s RAMBO? It’s in Brooklyn, Says Google Maps BOROUGHWIDE — Longtime residents of city neighborhoods from coast to coast are often puzzled, or even upset, by arbitrary names that Google Maps has given to their long-established areas. In Brooklyn, for example, names such as BoCoCa (the area between Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens) and RAMBO (Right Around the Manhattan Bridge) have appeared on and off in Google Maps, according to The New York Times. The decisions made by a few Google cartographers can reshape the identity of a town, neighborhood or entire city. Tad Bogdan, who lives in the Rincon Hill area
of San Francisco, which has suddenly become known as the East Cut, told the Times, “It’s degrading to the reputation of our area.” Before the internet, neighborhood names developed via word of mouth, newspaper articles and physical maps. However, Google Maps is updated continuously and delivered to more than 1 billion people on their devices worldwide, according to the Times. Google said it creates its maps from third-party data, public sources, satellites and information provided by users. People can submit changes, which are reviewed by Google employees, the Times reported.
Greenpoint and Williamsburg Have a Quarter of NYC’s Contaminated Sites NORTH BROOKLYN — Greenpoint and Williamsburg together make up a quarter of the contaminated development sites that have participated in the city’s Voluntary Cleanup Program, according to a new report from the NYU Furman Center. This is followed by Chelsea (8 percent), Astoria (8 percent) and two more Brooklyn neighborhoods – Bedford-Stuyvesant (7 percent) and Fort Greene-Brooklyn Heights (6 percent), reported the Commercial Observer. More than 85 percent of the remediated sites were located in neighborhoods that were rezoned from 2002 to 2016, and the Greenpoint-Williamsburg waterfront fits into this category. Greenpoint-Williamsburg is one of the many areas rezoned under the Bloomberg administration and were former industrial havens, the Commercial Observer reported. In addition, five of the 10 neighborhoods on the most-contaminated-sites list also were on the Furman Center’s 2016 ranking of gentrifying neighborhoods: Greenpoint/Williamsburg, Astoria, Morrisania, Mott Haven and Bed-Stuy. As of July 2016, cleanups have been completed at 200 sites citywide, according to the center’s analysis. The program is well-utilized and relatively easy to navigate, the Commercial Observer said.

MTA to Cut Service on L Train for 15 Weekends To Prepare for Shutdown WILLIAMSBURG — The MTA plans to cut service on the L train between Manhattan and Brooklyn during 15 weekends to prepare for the line’s 15-month shutdown beginning next spring. Transit workers will install signal adjustments to make it easier for trains to turn back east at Bedford Avenue once the shutdown goes into effect. Westbound service will terminate at Bedford Avenue every weekend in October, the second and third weekends in November, every weekend in February, the first three weekends in March and the weekend
of April 13-14, according to Patch. “Our crews are working hard on track and signal infrastructure during periods of lower ridership so that while the L train tunnel is reconstructed and we run in Brooklyn only next year, it’s the most reliable service we can deliver,” Andy Byford, the president of MTA New York City Transit, said in a statement. While the L train’s 15-month shutdown is expected to begin in April, officials have yet to release an exact date, Patch reported.
Video of Slope Resident Calling Cops on Woman Waiting for Uber Stirs Controversy PARK SLOPE — A video of a young Park Slope woman angrily calling the cops on Darsell Obregon, another woman who had had taken shelter in her doorway in the pouring rain and was waiting for an Uber, has attracted more than 150,000 views on Obregon’s Facebook page and elsewhere. The incident has been interpreted as the latest in a series of white people calling the police to report African-American people for going about their daily lives, according to
Newsweek. “On Sunday afternoon, I was in Brooklyn walking to the train when a sudden rainstorm began and I hid in the doorway outside of a random apartment in Park Slope to shield myself from the rain and call an Uber,” wrote Obregon, who hails from Miami and now lives in the New York area. “No more than 3 minutes later, a young woman who lives in the building opened the front door and had to leave. I told her I was not going to move, so she then proceeded to call the
police.” Even after the Uber appeared, Newsweek said, the woman told the driver that if he left with Obregon in the car, he’d be committing a crime. The woman who called the cops, 19-year-old Arabella Torres, told the New York Post that she’s Puerto Rican and that she suffers from autism. On her Facebook page, Obregon said, “I am not Black and have never claimed to be,” but based on her photos, she could be mistaken for a very lightskinned African-American.
Well-known Chef Brings Her Blue Tacos to Gowanus Bar GOWANUS — Acclaimed chef Denisse Lina Chavez, who has moved between restaurants quite a lot in the past few years, is now making her well-known El Atoradero tacos at Parklife, an indoor and outdoor bar in Gowanus. This is good news for Brooklynites who have missed her since she left the kitchen at her El Atoradero restaurant in Prospect Heights in March, according to Eater. Chavez is well-known for her tacos featuring carnitas, made by braising or simmering pork, on handmade blue corn tortillas. Her erstwhile Prospect Heights restaurant, which became Madre Cocina & Mezcales in May, now has a new chef, but Chavez is reportedly still a partner. Chavez’s former business partner, Noah Arenstein, used to run Taqueria Madre in the same Parklife space at 636 DeGraw St., Eater reported. However, Arenstein is no longer involved, and Chavez’s El Atoradero enterprise now has a one-year lease with the bar. In addition to tacos, the menu features nachos, burritos and flautas. Chavez grew up in Puebla, Mexico, and came to the U.S. at age 16.
Food of Chinese Muslim Group Comes to Sheepshead Bay SHEEPSHEAD BAY — A new restaurant in Sheepshead Bay is probably the first and only restaurant in Brooklyn to offer the food of the Dungans, an ethnic group of Chinese Muslims who were expelled from China in the 19th century after an unsuccessful uprising and now live in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. The owners, Damirzhan Azimov and his wife Gulshat Azimova, emigrated to the U.S. from Kazakhstan in 2012 and opened the restaurant, Lagman House, in June. Much of the food is based on lagman, or la mian in Chinese, a type of noodle that is mixed with other ingredients, depending on the dish, according to The New York Times. One dish in which meat is the main ingredient, however, is huashi, a soup that features six types of meatballs. Bread is also very common, and rice is eaten with a mixture of scrambled eggs, beef, chives, scrambled eggs, bell peppers and green chiles. For dessert, you can have sanzi — another kind of noodle, the Times reported. Lagman House is located at 2612 East 14th St., just off Sheepshead Bay Road.

As Towers Rise in Coney, Is the Carnival Over? By Hannah Frishberg The Bridge
Coney Island is synonymous with amusement, a paradise of freaks with a freshly landmarked boardwalk and a mix of wooden rides creaking towards their centennials. The People’s Playground has survived against the odds and several close calls with fate, from fire to Fred Trump. But now, as the surrounding neighborhood is being changed by a wave of real estate development, the definition of Coney Island is in play. Will it become just like much of the rest of the city – gentrified, but with rides? “You might say the story of the battle for New York’s soul is encapsulated in Coney Island, that Sodom by the Sea that brought the people of the city together in a space outside the ordinary,” blogger Jeremiah Moss wrote in his 2017 book, Vanishing New York. This is the place, after all, where amusement-seekers once paid 25 cents apiece to gaze at tiny humans (premature babies in incubators), an early monetization of health care that wound up saving many lives. Coney Island beyond the Boardwalk can feel as though it is past the city limits. Cookie-cutter clapboard row houses with front-yard parking spaces line much of the main strips of Mermaid and Neptune avenues, with high-rise, 20th-century apartment buildings peppered among them. Surf Avenue is more commercial and built up, but still dotted with overgrown lots full of school buses among the senior-living facilities, city buildings and public housing.
The area is known for its Russian émigré population, as well as a large African-American community. What it is not known for is luxury apartments and cloud-scraping, glassy residential buildings, the kind that have transformed Downtown Brooklyn. Among other developments, three massive projects are in the works for Coney: 1709 Surf Ave., a three-block, mixed-use complex to contain 1,000 apartments, 150,000 sq. ft. of retail, and 80,000 sq. ft. of offices, expected to be completed by 2020; 3514 Surf Ave., or “Ocean Dreams,” by mogul developer John Catsimatidis, a two-tower, 22-story, 425-unit undertaking with 20,685 sq. ft. of commercial space, expected to open by next summer; and Neptune/Sixth, a two-building development with one nearly complete seven-story, 161,000-sq.-ft. commercial structure at 626 Sheepshead Bay Rd. and a 70,000-sq.-ft. retail center with 575 apartments coming to 532 Neptune Ave. In order to legally build a behemoth the size of Ocean Dreams, the developer had to acquire a rezoning and special permits via a Uniform Land Use Review (ULURP), which it received in 2011. This came on the heels of the Bloomberg Administration’s 2009 rezoning of Coney Island, which eased the way for hotel and residential development. While the latter’s allowances have now been in place for close to a decade, it was not until more recently that major developers began to take advantage of them. The Great Recession and then

Hurricane Sandy, which dealt a heavy blow and submerged swaths of the area, stymied developer momentum for several years. In large part, the current wave of development is what was intended in the 2009 plan: a jump start for an economically disadvantaged neighborhood. “There was a period of time when there was no private investment at all in Coney Island,” says Michael Sorrel, the owner of one of the boardwalk’s oldest businesses, Ruby’s Bar & Grill. “Over the last decade, you’ve seen a lot of investment in the community,” he told The Bridge. While Sorrel “really can’t see [the development] being a bad thing,” and sees the construction as necessary economic stimulus, he did bemoan its impact on Coney’s character. “For me, one of the charms of Coney Island is its edge,” he said, “and the fact that all this gentrification is going on and these new buildings are going up, Coney Island has kind of lost its edge.” “There’s a great disconnect here,” Councilmember Mark Treyger, who represents Coney Island among other districts, said in an interview regarding the onslaught of high-end housing being created in the area. “There’s no supreme demand for luxury rentals or luxury condos. “Ocean Dreams has no affordable housing, which to me is outrageous,” he said. This is in sharp contrast to Surf Vets Place, at 2006 Surf Ave. The first phase of the development, nine stories with 135 units, will contain 82 units for homeless veterans. Treyger lauds the veterans’ housing, while critiquing other new buildings as unaffordable to most of his constituents. While Catsimatidis is planning a streetcar-like “Coney Island Trolley” from the Stillwell Avenue subway station to Ocean Dreams, on the whole there are no plans in place to update public transit despite the looming surge in population. “The train service is by Stillwell, where no one lives,”
Treyger said. City officials and developers, he believes, are “just looking to add density without vision or discussion of transportation of people.” Civic leaders have proposed options. “We’ve been advocating F express service to be restored,” said Alexandra Silversmith, the executive director of the Alliance for Coney Island. “That service ended 30 years ago and the MTA was supposed to restore it, and they did not.” Coney Island was also bypassed in the initial rollout of the NYC Ferry. As Silversmith sees it, Coney Island needs more full-time residents to be a truly functional, year-round neighborhood, while today it remains something of a summer destination. “The revitalization is happening, it’s coming to fruition,” she said. That so much construction and change is happening at once, in part because of pent-up demand in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, has discombobulated the neighborhood to some extent.” Coney Island residents tend to have strongly mixed feelings about it all. On the one hand, they have to put up with disruptions–parking, traffic, noise–to produce luxury developments that aren’t intended for most of them. On the other hand, many at community-board meetings have expressed a sentiment not often heard in the more high-income Brooklyn neighborhoods undergoing such change: a sense of gratefulness that the area was having a comeback, that private developers were expressing interest in this slice of the borough, even if that brings fancier neighbors and higher rents. There is, too, a sense of resignation less familiar in parts of Kings County more populated by newcomers who haven’t spent decades watching their hometown evolve. “Everything changes,” Sorrel told me on the phone, the familiar clatter of silverware audible in the background at the 84-year-old Ruby’s. “That’s the reality.”
