OPEN HOUSE AT NEWTOWN CREEK WASTEWATER RESOURCE RECOVERY FACILITY: The largest of New York City’s 14 wastewater treatment plants (and definitely the trendiest looking one, for better or worse) will be opening its doors on Saturday, Oct. 19 for an open house tour to adventurous residents looking to learn how the city’s sewer system works. Attendees will also be able to explore the top of the Newtown Creek treatment plant’s eight alien-like stainless steel digester eggs, designed by Ennead Architects in 2009. OPEN HOUSE DATE: Saturday, Oct. 19, at 329 Greenpoint Ave. Tours start at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. ABOVE: Newtown Creek Wastewater Resource Recovery Facility.

Safety advocates: There oughta be a law (or 3) to make streets safer “Part of the problem is that we have a very vibrant industrial business zone in North Brooklyn. More people are moving into the area, more people are riding their bikes, definitely in part due to inadequate public transit,” she said.

At a mayoral press conference in July, Department of Transportation Commissioner Polly Trottenberg said that trucks and cyclists meeting in Brooklyn’s gentrifying industrial neighborhoods created particularly hazardous situations.

“A lot of [the crashes] have involved trucks. We’re seeing them in some of these areas where cycling is increasing … Areas where perhaps they were previously industrial. There’s a lot of commercial activity. Cyclists and trucks are mixing in the streets,” the commissioner said.

The mayor and DOT committed in July to increasing the pace of protected bike lanes construction to 30 miles per year — up from 20. But one of the proposed bills, City Council Speaker Corey Johnson’s “Streets Master Plan,” calls for creating 250 miles of protected bike lanes over just five years, as well as constructing 150 miles of protected bus lanes and doubling the number of pedestrian plazas throughout the city.

Safe street advocates joined Brooklyn State Sen. Julia Salazar outside City Hall Monday to call on the City Council to pass a package of bills aimed at reducing traffic fatalities throughout the city.

The activists, with Transportation Alternatives and Families for Safe Streets, and the senator were rallying behind three bills that would change the fabric of the city’s streets, prioritize the safety of cyclists and pedestrians, while also moving to hold some of the city’s most dangerous drivers accountable for repeated speed zone violations.

According to the most recent TrafficStat data, there have been 157 traffic-related fatalities in 2019. Traffic-related fatalities include pedestrians and cyclists, as well as motorists and vehicle passengers. This year is set to see the first increase in those deaths from a prior year since Vision Zero was initiated in 2014.

A rash of cyclist deaths, which have more than doubled already in 2019 compared to all of 2018, have led advocates to demand swift changes to the city’s streets.

State Sen. Salazar — who represents Bushwick, Williamsburg and parts of Greenpoint — spoke specifically about the perils of cycling in her district, where bikes and trucks mingle on the streets.

City schools have already utilized new ‘crisis’ social workers, says chancellor

By Meaghan McGoldrick Greenpoint Gazette

As the number of children and teens treated in emergency rooms for mental health emergencies climbs — and at least one New York pol has called for excusable mental health days — the city’s Department of Education is already making use of its new contingent of “crisis” counselors, Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza said Friday.

“As we have deepened our practices … we are seeing that the health of our school communities are getting better,” Carranza told reporters at a media roundtable, stressing that the DOE now has almost 100 emergency social workers at its disposal, which officials can deploy “as student needs arise.”

Less than a month into the new school year, they’ve already been utilized, he said.

“The second day of school we had a situation where a student was struck by a vehicle and was killed,” Carranza said. “The student was the son of a teacher who taught at this student’s elementary school, so all of the teachers had seen him grow up. The community

was obviously devastated.”

Though the DOE could not confirm due to federal privacy laws, Carranza appeared to be talking about 10-year-old Enzo Farachio, who had just started the sixth grade at I.S. 240 when he was killed while waiting for a bus in Midwood on Tuesday, Sept. 10 (the fourth day of school). According to the Daily News, his mother is a second-grade teacher at P.S. 316, where Enzo was previously a student.

“What we were able to do was bring in these crisis social workers and counselors to help set up a system of grieving,” he went on, adding that the DOE was able to assign counselors to the student’s new and former schools, as well as to the schools that his former classmates went on to attend. “We were able to find out who those students were even though they dispersed.”

Though an “obviously tragic example,” Carranza said the situation highlighted the need for — and the benefits of — having such social workers available to city schools.

Councilmember Mark Treyger, a former educator who chairs the City Council’s Education Committee — and who has previously

pushed for more social workers in schools — agreed, though he stressed the importance of long-term solutions.

“Students need more social and emotional supports,” he told the Greenpoint Gazette in a statement. “The council, with Speaker [Corey] Johnson’s leadership, was proud to join with advocates and students to make significant progress in this year’s budget towards prioritizing proactive therapeutic interventions over reactive punitive responses.”

In June, the southern Brooklyn politician wrote to Carranza and Mayor Bill de Blasio calling for a “significant investment” in social and emotional services for students. Specifically, he wanted more social workers and guidance counselors, as well as the establishment of a mental health continuum to provide direct care to students with advanced behavioral needs.

At the end of July, Treyger announced funding in the city’s $93 billion budget for 285 fulltime social workers, including 100 Bridging the Gap social workers, who serve schools with high concentrations of homeless students —

and the 85 new “crisis” counselors, a DOE spokesperson confirmed Monday.

Those 85 — a part of the de Blasio administration’s billion-dollar ThriveNYC initiative (of which Treyger has been notably critical) — will be able to provide care in times of immediate emotional distress and help them receive long-term care if necessary, the rep said.

“As these programs roll out, I will look closely at data and continue to listen to students and school communities about how well these programs are working,” Treyger said, “[and] I’ll continue to hold the DOE accountable for how well it meets the social-emotional needs of our students.”

At the time of Treyger’s initial request, over 700 schools did not have a full-time social worker, and there were under 1,500 social workers serving the city’s 1.1 million students. By Tuesday, the DOE had not responded to a request for an updated estimate.

“All students that experience any type of trauma should have immediate access to emotional and social supports in our school system,” Treyger said.

New York residents will have more time to switch political parties if they so desire come primary season 2020.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a new bill this week that extends the deadline for registered voters to change party enrollment until Feb. 1 — a significant extension from the original date of Oct. 11.

The new measure, which goes into effect immediately, gives voters four extra months to pick their affiliation and still be able to vote in the April presidential primary and the June congressional and state primaries.

Previously, party enrollment changes made after Oct. 11 didn’t take effect until after the November general election, requiring voters to wait

as long as a year for changes to take effect.

Now, any party changes made after Feb. 14 will take effect seven days after the succeeding June primary, according to the new legislation.

“In New York we are making monumental changes to break down more barriers to the ballot box and encourage more people to exercise this fundamental right,” Cuomo said in a public statement. “This measure will make it easier for New Yorkers to have their voices heard in presidential, congressional and state primaries.”

What this means for voters If you are a registered voter, you have four extra months to realign yourself as a Democrat, Republican or independent in time to vote in the April presidential primary. Currently there are four Republicans vying — with many others eye-

ing the seat — according to Quartz, for the nomination including current President Donald Trump.

For the Democratic side there are currently 19 candidates vying for the party’s nomination, including former Vice President Joe Biden.

You do not need to enroll in a political party to vote in the general election (Nov. 3, 2020) but registering as a member of a political party allows you to vote in that party’s primary elections and help elect the candidate for the general election.

If you are a registered voter who wishes to join a political party for the first time or change your political party membership, you must complete and submit a new voter registration form.

This year’s presidential primary date is April 28, 2020. The congressional and state primaries are slated for June 23, 2020.

Bills shine light on nonprofits benefiting from embattled housing program

By Kelly Mena

Greenpoint Gazette

New legislation currently being drafted in the New York City Council will look to enhance transparency regarding the set of favored nonprofits that have been on the receiving end of million-dollar properties.

City Councilmember Robert Cornegy, Jr. — who represents large portions of brownstone Brooklyn, including the historically black neighborhoods of Bedford-Stuyvesant and northern Crown Heights — is ready to lift the veil when it comes to “third party” organizations receiving deeds under the Third Party Transfer program.

Under the TPT program, which is run by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, the city designates “distressed” properties to be transferred to qualified sponsors (nonprofit or for-profit developers) that can purchase and rehabilitate both vacant and occupied multi-family properties to be used for affordable housing.

Cornegy is putting forward two new bills. The first would require that nonprofits in the program publicly disclose on their website or in some other transparent manner all the properties they manage or own for which they receive public funding. The second would mandate that all nonprofits in the program that manage property and provide foreclosure counseling services recuse themselves from receiving a property for which they previously provided consultation.

“One thing that has been made very clear over the last few months is that there is a need for greater transparency around the Third Party Transfer process,” Cornegy said. “In addition to needing greater transparency from HPD, it is essential that nonprofit developers, who receive government benefits and incentives to rehabilitate these properties, are transparent in their involvement as well.”

In at least one of the six cases in which homeowners sued the city and won back deeds to their properties in Brooklyn Supreme Court, a nonprofit that was counseling one of the property owners ahead of the foreclosure ended up receiving the deed to the property.

This is what happened to Yudy Ventura’s family, along with five other tenant families who own the property at 19 Kingsland Ave. When their building was facing financial difficulties, the tenants reached out to St. Nick’s Alliance for counseling. Ultimately, St. Nick’s ended up their landlord, receiving the deed of the property through the TPT program.

According to their website, St. Nick’s boasts a $10 million property management portfolio across 65 properties. The website does not provide the locations of those buildings.

St. Nick’s also receives a hefty sum of funding from the city, in-

cluding from Councilmember and Brooklyn borough president hopeful Antonio Reynoso, who represents Ventura’s neighborhood.

This fiscal year, the organization received $540,900 in funding from the City Council — more than $309,000 of which was for the preservation of affordable housing.

St. Nick’s Alliance did not respond to repeated calls for comment.

The pair of bills will join a series of six other measures set to reform the program many claim is racist and overreaching in scope. The package is set to be introduced this fall once the working group tasked with providing recommendations on changes to the program officially submits its proposals. The group is set to meet again at the end of this month with a third meeting planned later in the year, according to Cornegy spokesperson Edward Amador.

“We have not yet reviewed the proposed legislation, but we look forward to our continued partnership with the Council and the community as we push forward with the TPT working group to modernize this program that’s a critical tool to protect tenants,” said HPD spokesperson Matthew Creegan.

City Councilmember Antonio Reynoso was not available for comment.

New York pols call for transparency in National Grid investigation “They might be using the moratorium as a political tool”

By Scott Enman Greenpoint Gazette

A group of 13 state senators, including seven from Brooklyn, are calling for a more publicly transparent investigation by the state into National Grid’s denial of gas to thousands of new and existing customers.

The gas moratorium, which is currently being probed by the Public Service Commission, has affected about 2,700 residents.

“We request that PSC open formal, public proceedings, including a matter and case number, in order to enhance transparency and enable customers and other stakeholders to monitor and participate in the investigation,” the senators wrote in a letter addressed to PSC Chairperson John Rhodes on Thursday.

The signees also requested more public participation, asking PSC to conduct local outreach so residents could monitor the investigation. They also demanded that the agency collect testimony from affected customers and other stakeholders to enhance the inquiry.

“At this time, there is no way for the public to determine the status of any investigation, provide evidence of their losses or damages, or submit comments for the record,” the letter said.

At press time, PSC had not responded formally, but a spokesperson told the Brooklyn Eagle that the department continues to investigate National Grid’s implementation of the moratorium, and more broadly, the utility company’s failure to give proper notice to customers before it was introduced — and if the moratorium was even warranted in the first place.

“National Grid has justified the moratorium as a mechanism to prevent increased demand for natural gas, but in a growing number of cases that we have examined to date the company did not demonstrate that the customers would in fact increase demand,” said James Denn of PSC. “The department therefore directed National Grid to provide service to those customers, and the company is doing so.”

Thirty-two apartments or homes have already had their complaints resolved, according to the state agency.

National Grid refused service to new, and some returning cus-

The utility company wants to add 37 miles to the pipeline, which would increase its gas capacity by 14 percent. The entire project would cost $1 billion.

National Grid, which serves roughly 1.8 million customers in Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and Long Island, expects gas demand to rise by 10 percent over the next decade, and a spokesperson for the company told Politico that it would need the expansion by next winter.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo and other politicians, however, say the moratorium —which has denied service to renovated homes, affordable housing complexes and new businesses — is a ploy for the company to get the expansion.

“This is a privately-owned company holding everybody hostage,” Public Advocate Jumaane Williams said last month in front of the company’s Downtown Brooklyn headquarters.

State Sen. Brian Kavanagh said it was disturbing that, in addition to denying service, National Grid has used its corporate resources to encourage its customers to pressure their elected officials for the expansion of the pipeline.

“We have concern that they might be using the moratorium as a political tool,” he told the Eagle.

In August, Cuomo asked PSC to broaden its investigation, calling on National Grid to immediately provide gas to customers who were refused service and to impose penalties if necessary.

Environmentalists argue that New York needs to move toward renewable sources of energy and that the proposed expansion would harm the surrounding community and commit the state to 50 years of natural gas.

Karen Young of National Grid said her company would continue to work with PSC on connection issues and the need for additional gas supply to new and existing customers. “We continue to cooperate with the [PSC] on their ongoing investigation into this important and complex matter, and look forward to a resolution to provide relief for customers,” she said.

The following New York state senators signed the letter to PCS: • Sen. Brian Kavanagh • Sen. Leroy Comrie • Sen. Kevin Thomas • Sen. Diane Savino • Sen. Simcha Felder • Sen. Kevin Parker • Sen. Julia Salazar • Sen. John E. Brooks • Sen. Andrew Gounardes • Sen. Velmanette Montgomery • Sen. Jessica Ramos • Sen. Joseph Addabbo, Jr. • Sen. James Sanders, Jr.

Brooklyn man charged with murder in cyclist’s death

By Noah Goldberg Greenpoint Gazette

A Brooklyn man was arraigned on murder charges for allegedly chasing down and running over a cyclist in Bushwick in September in a gruesome crash caught on surveillance video, prosecutors announced Friday.

The defendant —

Corey Johnson — allegedly witnessed another man breaking into his 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee on Broadway Avenue near Ellery Street in Bushwick on Sept. 3 around 6:00 a.m. Johnson and the victim, Donald Roberts, got into a brief argument.

Roberts swung a screwdriver and struck a woman, cutting her, ac-

cording to cops. Roberts then biked off. Johnson got in his car and chased the victim down, prosecutors say, heading into oncoming traffic before running Roberts over and smashing into other cars.

“Rather than call the police when he allegedly saw a crime being committed, this defendant allegedly turned his car into

a deadly weapon and needlessly took a life,” said Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez in a statement. “Lawless behavior cannot be tolerated, and we will now seek to hold this defendant accountable for his actions.”

Roberts was taken to Woodhull Hospital after the crash, where he died of blunt force trauma, accord-

ing to prosecutors.

The incident was caught on surveillance video, which shows a car speeding down Broadway Avenue and hitting a cyclist, before smashing into two parked cars and flipping over.

Roberts was the 21st cyclist killed on city streets this year, and the 15th killed in Brooklyn alone.

Johnson is charged with second-degree murder and first-degree reckless endangerment. He was ordered held without bail by Supreme Court Justice Vincent del Giudice.

Johnson, who faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted on the top count, will next be in court on Dec. 6.

The speaker’s bill currently has 20 co-sponsors in the City Council. It needs 26 votes to pass.

The two other bills touted at the rally were Park Slope Councilmember Brad Lander’s “Reckless Driver Accountability Act,” and North Brooklyn Councilmember Antonio Reynoso’s “Commercial Waste Zone bill“.

Lander’s bill would impound cars with five or more red light or speed camera violations in a single year and require the drivers of those cars to complete a reckless driver accountability course to get their cars back. Lander proposed the legislation more than a year ago, after the fatal Park Slope crash that killed two children.

Reynoso’s bill would establish commercial waste zones, where one private trash carting company would handle each zone throughout the city. Currently, single neighborhoods can be served by 50 or more private carting companies. The bill would reduce number of miles traveled by truck drivers by about 50 percent and would also reduce emissions by about 40 percent, according to the council.

“Hundreds of waste-hauling trucks zig zag throughout our city, through residential and commercial neighborhoods, putting New Yorkers needlessly at risk,” said Conner of Transportation Alternatives. “They’re doing that because we have failed to create a meaningful wastecollection system in New York City.”

The city’s carting industry has been notoriously dangerous, with at least 26 people dying between 2010 and 2018 in crashes involving trash-hauling trucks.

It was not immediately clear Monday when any of the three bills would be up for a vote.

“It’s hard to say exactly what is holding up each and every bill, but we are hopeful that all three of them will pass by the end of this year,” Conner said.

A council spokesperson said the Commercial Waste Zones bill and the Streets Master Plan were both expected to pass this fall, though the Waste Zones bill may face some changes. The Reckless Driver bill faces further tweaks throughout the legislative process, the spokesperson said.

News From Your Neighborhood CITY OFFICIALS INTRODUCE NEW SCHOOL DESEGREGATION PLANS

SCHOOL DISTRICT 15 — In an effort to desegregate elementary schools in northern Brooklyn, the Department of Education proposed two possible admissions process alterations on Friday, the Brooklyn Paper reports. The changes would affect seven schools in District 15. The first option would be a zoning change, shrinking zoning areas for sought-after schools and increasing those for low-attendance schools. The second option would remove school zoning completely and would employ a randomized lottery system to determine enrollment. Both plans would reserve 25 to 35 percent of seats in each school for non-native speakers, homeless students and children receiving free or reduced lunch. 

COP IGNORES WITNESSES TO B’KLYN CAR-CYCLIST COLLISION

DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — Streetsblog NYC reports that a police officer who responded to a driver’s collision with a cyclist listened to the driver’s story and ignored three witnesses, according to one of the witnesses. The cyclist was hospitalized as a result of the incident, which took place on Jay Street. A passing Traffic Police officer allegedly refused to stop traffic and drove off while the victim was lying in the street. When an officer arrived, witnesses tried to tell him that the driver was speeding in order to try to beat a red light, but the officer was instead interested in how the victim was riding. The accident was the second crash to occur on the street on Wednesday, after a driver making an illegal U-turn hit another cyclist. 

Scenes from the Mexican Independence Day Parade and Festival in Sunset Park.

Sunset Park hosts successful Mexican Independence Parade and Festival

By Jaime DeJesus Brooklyneagle.com

Nonprofit organization Mano a Mano: Mexican Culture without Borders held its annual Mexican Independence Parade and Festival in Sunset Park on Sunday, Sept. 29.

Starting at 11:30 a.m., participants and attendees marched along Fifth Avenue between 38th and 60th streets, alongside Mexican folkloric dance, music and community leaders.

The festival portion took place during the afternoon at the Brooklyn Army Terminal Pier and featured local artists, cultural groups and nonprofit organizations providing information on immigrants’ rights and other services.

“NYCEDC was proud to host this year’s Mexican Independence Parade and Festival at the Brooklyn Army Terminal in Sunset Park, said NYCEDC Executive Director for Sunset Park Julie Stein. “This community event celebrates Mexico’s rich culture, history and unity, and we’re glad to bring neighbors together for a

wonderful experience at BAT.” “This was a really difficult year,” said Councilmember Carlos Menchaca. “I am from El Paso, Texas, and what happened in August was the hardest thing I have ever had to process.

When I went home, I thought I would see despair, pain, and rage. Instead, what I saw was love, grace and triumph. It was the Mexican community coming together, refusing to stay in the shadows, and instead proclaiming loudly: We are here, we are not afraid, and we are what make America great.”

“It’s very important to us as our organization Mano a Mano Mexican culture was approached by members of the community of Sunset Park,” said Juan Aguirre, executive director of Mano a Mano.

“They wanted to celebrate Mexican Independence, but most of all they wanted to celebrate our heritage in a way that it can be displayed and community members who are not Mexican would see the diversity, the colors of our traditions,” he stressed.

Regina Opera Company announces lineup for its 50th anniversary season

BY JOHN ALEXANDER JALEXANDER@BROOKLYNEAGLE. COM

For a half century, the Regina Opera Company has been staging acclaimed opera performances throughout Brooklyn at a reasonable price. Over the years, it has also provided a showcase for singers to perform standard operatic repertoire primarily in the original language, in fully staged productions with orchestral accompaniment and English supertitles.

Founded in 1970 by Marie Cantoni and Nicholas Tierno, Regina Opera began as a small group of dedicated singers who gave recitals in a tiny auditorium at the Regina Pacis-St. Rosalia Parish Youth Center in Dyker Heights.

The following year, the group produced an abridged stage version of “La Traviata” with piano accompaniment.

In 1976, it began performing on the larger stage at Regina Hall (the auditorium of Regina Pacis School), and acquired an orchestra in 1982.

Scenes from a past performance of “Carmen.”

In 2012, the Regina Opera moved to its new home: the Our Lady of Perpetual Help School auditorium, whose more professional stage facilities and comfortable audience amenities inaugurated a new era in Regina Opera’s history.

The beloved Brooklyn institution recently announced its upcoming lineup, which includes a classic tragedy, a double bill of a comic opera and a Golden Jubilee Concert, and a company premiere of Puccini’s last great opera.

“This is an exciting season, it is Regina Opera Company’s 50th season of bringing great opera to our Brooklyn friends and neighbors,” Regina Opera Company’s Executive Vice President Francine Garber told this paper.

“This season, as in all seasons, we will present a group of the most talented musical artists — singers and orchestra players – in New York City.

Regina Opera has presented the first two operas of the season, ‘Carmen’ and ‘Gianni Schicchi’ previously, but this will be the first time that we will present ‘Turandot,’” added Garber.

The season’s first opera is Georges Bizet’s “Carmen,” the tale of a soldier and the

gypsy who beguiles him. The production is conducted by Gregory Ortega and staged by Linda Lehr. There will be a free sneak-peek performance with piano on Tuesday, Nov. 19 at 7:30 p.m., with additional performances with orchestra on Saturday, Nov. 23 at 3 p.m.; Sunday, Nov. 24 at 3 p.m.; Saturday, Nov. 30 at 3 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 1 at 3 p.m.

Next up is Giacomo Puccini’s “Gianni Schicchi,” a classic comedy that features a death, greedy relatives and a forged will. The performance

also includes a golden jubilee concert. The play is conducted

by Elizabeth Hastings and staged by Lehr. The concert is conducted by Ortega. The free sneak preview with piano is on Tuesday, Feb. 25 at 8 p.m. Performances are on Saturday, Feb. 29 at 3 p.m., Sunday, March 1 at 3 p.m.; Sunday, March 7 at 3 p.m. and Sunday, March 8 at 3 p.m.

The last performance of the season is a production of “Turandot,” Puccini’s final work, which tells the story of a mystical prince

who seeks the love of a cold princess. It is conducted by Ortega and staged by Lehr.

The sneak-peek performance is on Monday, May 4 at 7:30 p.m. Additional performances take place on Saturday, May 9 at 3 p.m.; Saturday, May 10 at 3 p.m.; Saturday, May 16 at 3 p.m. and Sunday, May 17 at 3 p.m.

All performances will be at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Academy of Brooklyn, 5902 Sixth Ave. For tickets and more information, go to www. reginaopera.org.

Open House New York: Our top 10 picks

A look inside 25 Kent, a new eight-story, 500,000-square-foot commercial office building in Williamsburg.

By Scott Enman INBrooklyn

From design studios and distilleries to rooftop farms and wastewater treatment plants, residents will once again have the opportunity to tour some of the city’s most exclusive monuments, landmarks and architectural gems later this month at Open House New York.

With more than 275 sites across the city, and 60 in Brooklyn alone, attendees will have access to spaces that are normally closed or limited to the public during the rest of the year. Think of it like urban exploration — without the fear of getting caught.

The annual event takes place Oct. 19-20. Visitors can learn from architects, historians and preservationists about some of the borough’s oldest and newest structures, like the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s archives or the Prison Ship Martyrs Monument in Fort Greene Park.

“Open House New York Weekend is a celebration of architecture, but it is equally a celebration of an open city,” said Gregory Wessner, executive director of the weekend-long event. “Openness to new people, new ideas and new ways of living is what sustains New York as the greatest city in the world.

“But openness is something that has to be nurtured and protected, and that is what Open House New York Weekend helps to do.”

With so many great places to explore, INBrooklyn selected 10 must-see sites.

25 Kent.

HAWKEY, John Francis — 61, passed a w a y peacefully Friday after a long illness, with his family at his be d sid e.

He was born Sept. 11, 1958 to the late Richard and Marion Hawkey and attended Plainedge Public Schools. He was named for his dear “Pop Pop,” John Francis Riordan, and was loved by his five siblings as a sweet, gregarious and imaginative child who grew to be a principled businessman and friend with a heart of gold. Starting his career right after high school with E.F. Hutton under the mentorship of his uncle, Robert Hawkey, he later owned his own brokerage firm, and served a term as chair of the Floor Broker’s Association. In later years, John ran his own woodworking shop, worked for Centre Street

Construction and made dozens of friends bartending in his beloved Brooklyn. John loved country music, especially Anita Carter; car racing, especially NASCAR; Brooklyn, especially his friends from Bay Ridge; and baseball and football, especially the Jets and Mets. John was the ultimate “people person,” enlivening every gathering with stories and the occasional practical joke; he had a way of lightening stressful situations with with his ability to make people laugh. Yet, on the serious side he was also known for his professional integrity in business, his steadfast support of friends, and his boundless generosity. He will be sorely missed by his brother Richard (and wife Maryanne), his sisters Mary (and husband Tom), Regina (and husband Jeff), Marian and Rosemary. He is also survived by his nieces and nephews: Francis, Elsie, Ellie, Rina, Avi, Grayce and Adam, and by five great-nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by both of his dear parents.

Eye on REAL

ESTATE

Part Two: Take a summery South Slope stroll in autumn This brick building with the eye-catching window bays can be found at 528 Fourth Ave. on the corner of 14th Street.

INBrooklyn photos by Lore Croghan

By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn

Wooden houses are such a sweet surprise in a brownstone neighborhood. I found a bunch of them in the South Slope.

The other day when it was 80 degrees outside, I strolled around taking photos of the neighborhood’s beautiful, old-fashioned blocks. In five hours, I covered only part of the area.

There was so much to see that I decided to split my story into two parts. This is Part Two. In Part One, I showed you one of the city’s oldest movie theatres, a huge armory that looks like a castle and a Baptist church that’s pretty as an illustration in a fairy tale. If you want to see those pictures, they’re posted on brooklyneagle.com.

Today I’m going to focus on rowhouses and the occasional stand-alone house with a yard. Some of the properties I’m showing you are on landmarked blocks. Others are not.

— Continued on page 17INB —

This handsome grouping of residential buildings includes 331 13th St., which is on the corner of Sixth Avenue.

Part Two: Take a summery South Slope stroll in autumn — Continued from page 16INB —

MAJESTIC CORNERS

This house at 278 14th St. is nestled up against an apartment building.

Before we indulge my obsession with wooden houses, let’s look at some of the South Slope’s grand corners.

One of my favorites is at Eighth Avenue and 13th Street.

There’s a handsome building with a barrel-shaped window bay. The property, whose address is 451 13th St., is located in the original Park Slope Historic District. (See photo top right).

The city Landmarks Preservation Commission’s designation report about the area, which was written in 1973, says an entire row of houses starting with this one and extending from 1213 Eighth Ave. to 1205 Eighth Ave. were all built in 1900 by an owner-architect named William Musgrave Calder.

Nearby, on the corner of Sixth Avenue, there’s another residential building with a curved window bay. Its address is 331 13th St. (See photo, bottom right, opposite page). It, too, has a nifty row of barrel-vaulted rowhouses alongside it. This cluster of homes is not located within a historic district.

Another favorite spot is 528 Fourth Avenue on the corner of 14th Street. (See photo, top, opposite page). There, you’ll see a red-brick residential building with an eye-catching rectangular window bay over its front door. The ground-floor tenant on the corner is David West Real Estate.

around 1885, the Landmarks Preservation Commission’s 2012 designation report about the Park Slope Historic District Extension says.

The houses extend from 406 13th St. through 418 13th St. They have very deep front yards like you’d expect to see on landmarked Carroll Gardens blocks.

Verdant trees and shrubs partly shroud the South Slope houses from the view of passing drivers and pedestrians and make this block a green oasis.

Before you end your South Slope stroll, be sure to check out the 13th Street block between Eighth Avenue and Prospect Park West. It’s located within the original Park Slope Historic District.

On the even-numbered side of the street, you’ll find handsome limestone and brownstone rowhouses that were built in the late 1890s.

SMALL-TOWN TRANQUILITY So. About those wooden houses.

In some spots, they are stand-alone homes with big front porches — the very picture of old-fashioned, small-town tranquility — except they’ve got an apartment building sprouting up alongside them. Such is the case with 278 14th St. Another charming wood house at 251 13th St. is in the same situation.

Some of the prettiest wood houses with porches can be found at 286 and 288 14th St. I’m also a fan of the porch — and house — at 286 13th St. There’s a row of wood houses starting at 272 14th St. that’s worth a look.

Close by, a cluster of wooden houses with mansard roofs stands at 244 13th St.

EDENIC FRONT GARDENS In addition to the wonderful wooden houses, there’s a surprise worth watching for on 13th Street between Seventh and Eighth avenues.

The surprise is a row of 10 Neo-Grec brick houses.

They were all built for one owner named Mary Wood of October—3,A2019 • INBROOKLYN — A Special Section of Brooklyn Eagle/HeightsPress/Home Press/HomeReporter/Brooklyn Reporter/BrooklynSpectator/Brooklyn Spectator/BrooklynRecord/Greenpoint Record/Greenpoint Gazette Gazette • 17INB October 3 – October 9, 2019 •Week INBROOKLYN Special Section of Brooklyn Daily Eagle/Brooklyn Eagle/Heights

The dedication of the first section of the museum of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences took place this afternoon with impressive ceremony. At 3 o’clock the exercises began in the American gallery of the institute building on Eastern Parkway. This large and handsome room will be the sculpture gallery when the magnificent home of the institute has been finished, but at present the walls are hung with the portraits of famous Americans. A platform had been erected at the end of the room and in front of it were rows of benches extending to the door of the gallery.

Immediately in front of the platform and to the left of the room the Grant Post was seated and on the left were the officers of the institute. The guests occupied the center seats.

There was little attempt at decorating the hall, only a

few silk flags being tastefully draped over a gigantic picture of [George] Washington back of the platform and another group of flags surrounding an oil painting of Samuel Chester Reid, designer of the American flag. This painting originally occupied a position on the side of the gallery, but for this occasion has been removed to a prominent place near to the portrait of Washington. The picture was painted by John Wesley Jones in 1815 and is one of the treasures of the institute.

At 3 o’clock, the assemblage was called to order and the choir led the audience in singing “America,” all standing and joining in the hymn until the building rang with the national anthem. The Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott, president of the council of the institute, then rose and offered the prayer of dedication.

He invoked the Divine blessing upon the museum.

He led the National League in strikeouts in seven consecutive seasons. In his National League career Vance won 197 games and it was his ambition to register 200 triumphs. He is now 42 years old.” Vance was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1955.

When using a hammer, like a claw hammer, for home repair, never hit nails with the side or head of a hammer as the metal is not as hard as the metal of the striking face and could be damaged.

If you get chewing gum stains on your clothing, place a newspaper (like the Brooklyn Eagle) over the top and give it a quick iron to save the day!

Nothing is permanent! Even if your babies used a marker on the walls, toothpaste is a fine abrasive that will remove pretty much anything it touches!

ANXIETY & DEPRESSION TO GOODS , SERVICES & EMPLOYMENT

ON AUG. 22, 1969, a few days after the end of the Woodstock Festival in upstate New York, Brooklyn Spectator columnist “Uncle Walt” wrote, “Couldn’t help thinking the other day, it’s bad enough to look at even one of those hippies — or hippie types. Can you imagine 400,000 of them — all at one time?? It is frightening though to think that so many of our young people are like that. They’re escapists, in our book. But there seems to be enough of them to start another political party. Can you imagine them running the country?

We blame our involvement in the Vietnam War for a lot of these conditions. The only hope is that once that thing is settled and out of the way, a lot of these other conditions will fade away and die.”

ON OCT. 3, 1913, the Eagle reported, “Historic Plymouth Church had its first baptism of fire this afternoon, in a blaze that broke out in the Sunday school building in the rear of the house of worship, and fronting on Cranberry street, near Henry. The flames were confined to the Sunday school room, and destroyed the Sunday school organ, a number of books, and one or two pictures, but it is not believed that the loss, including the damage to the building, will exceed $7,000. The church proper was unharmed. Since the beginning of the erection of the Beecher Memorial buildings, which occupy much adjoining property, an army of men, masons, plasterers and carpenters has been busy on the premises. It is believed that the fire this afternoon was due to the carelessness of some of the workmen who were in the habit of taking their luncheon in the partly dismantled Sunday school room.”  ON OCT. 3, 1952, the Eagle reported, “Communist teachers must be kicked out of the schools if academic freedom is to be preserved, the Brooklyn College Kingsman, weekly undergraduate newspaper, asserted today. In its lead editorial, signed by editor-in-chief Estelle B. Siegal for the publication’s policy board, Kingsman said that a teacher cannot be a Communist and still maintain ‘moral integrity.’ … Pointing out that American concepts of freedom and basic moral integrity are the opposite of the Communist position, the editorial said: ‘The Communists must be dismissed from the schools not for what they believe, but for their deliberate underhanded methods and distortions of facts; for their admitted endeavor to indoctrinate their pupils and use any means at their disposal to get their views across; for their readiness to exploit any issue in order to spread Communism, and for their aid in spreading vicious attacks on their own colleagues through anonymous literature.’”  ON OCT. 3, 1954, the Eagle reported, “Cleveland — Happy Heroes, Inc., otherwise the Giants of New York, are the new baseball champions of the world. Here in the warm Ohio sunshine, they today completed the job of crushing the crestfallen Cleveland Indians for the fourth straight afternoon. They won the final game by a score of 7 to 4 for the first National League four-game victory in exactly 40 years … The 1954 Giants do not compose a ‘miracle’ team. But they do form a surprising one. Their National League pennant, sparked by the well-ballyhooed efforts of Willie Mays, wasn’t impressive enough to make them pre-series favorites over the Indians, who set an American League record by winning 111 games on their way to the flag. But they came through in the easiest possible fashion to end a string of seven straight American League World Series successes.”

Mets’ Alonso donates customized cleats to 9/11 museum

By Jake Seiner

The Associated Press

Mets slugger Pete Alonso visited the National September 11 Memorial & Museum on Tuesday to donate the custom cleats and baseball bat honoring first responders that he used in a game on the 18th anniversary of the terrorist attacks.

Alonso presented the equipment to museum President Alice Greenwald.

He said “it means the world� that the memorial wanted the gear for its permanent collection. “Just being here in New York, I just wanted to show every bit of gratitude I could,� Alonso said. “Not just for the first responders, but for the families as well who were directly impacted. You guys will not be forgotten.�

The 24-year-old rookie surprised his teammates with customized spikes to wear during a game against the Ar-

izona Diamondbacks, which the Mets won by scoring nine runs on 11 hits.

He had spent weeks jotting down their shoe sizes, preferred brands and styles, then hired a company to paint them red, white and blue with lettering for first-responder units.

The museum reached out to Mets Chief Operating Officer Jeff Wilpon about acquiring Alonso’s shoes. “I barely got the words out of my mouth that the museum wanted them and Pete was saying, ‘Absolutely,’�

Wilpon said.

Greenwald thanked Alonso for “such a meaningful gesture of remembrance and respect� and called it an “extraordinary gift.� “They might smell a little,� Alonso warned. He added that it was “seriously an honor.�

Alonso was a first-grader in Tampa, Florida, on Sept. 11, 2001. He remembers being in school when he learned of the attacks, but said he gained a greater appreciation for the day’s impact when he played for the Mets’ minor league afThe custom first-responder cleats New York Mets slugger Pete Alonso filiate in Brooklyn in 2016.
