See JR’s new mural featuring Robert De Niro in Domino Park

By Scott Enman Greenpoint Gazette

From a massive child peering over the U.S.-Mexico border wall to an Olympic boxer tumbling off a building in Brazil, Oscar-nominated director and photographer JR is constantly pushing boundaries with his larger-than-life outdoor sculptures.

On Monday, the French artist unveiled his latest work, a 53-foot-high photomural in Williamsburg’s Domino Park, created in conjunction with his exhibit, “JR: Chronicles,” currently on view at the Brooklyn Museum.

The piece takes the centerpiece from the exhibit, “The Chronicles of New York City,” and blows it up on a massive scale. It depicts 1,128 New Yorkers standing on buildings with the Williamsburg Bridge, Freedom Tower and Empire State Building in the background. The artist individually photographed each subject and then collaged their images together into one collective portrait.

NEWS IN BRIEF: Compiled by Raanan Geberer

GREENPOINT | WILLIAMSBURG | BUSHWICK Business owners complain about pipeline construction Some local business owners in northern Brooklyn are saying that the construction of a new National Grid pipeline from Brownsville to Newtown Creek is destroying their businesses, according to Bklyner. Maria Hernandez of Victorino Cleaners at 107 Moore St. told Bklyner that many of her customers from other parts of Brooklyn cannot find parking due to street closings. Leicy, manager of La Finca grocery store at 101 Moore St., said the store has lost more than $5,000 a week, also because of street closings. She says she only learned about the closings from a flyer. Juan, an employee at La Cocina restaurant at 100 Moore St., said profits have decreased roughly $1,500 since construction began.

Rental rates soared in B’klyn in late 2019 While home prices are dropping in Manhattan, price trends in Brooklyn and Queens are showing a different outcome, according to amNewYork. Quoting figures from the real estate blog StreetEasy, amNewYork recently revealed that rental prices in Brooklyn grew 5.2 percent in the fourth quarter of last year compared with the same time period in 2018 — the biggest jump the borough has seen in six years. The North Brooklyn area saw the largest growth in rents, escalating 5.9 percent to an average of $3,238, amNewYork reported. The neighborhood’s bouncing back from the canceled L train shutdown is the main reason for the big growth, StreetEasy said.

Following January crime spike, NYPD officials point finger at bail reform

By Mary Frost

The crime spike has sparked a debate over the state’s new bail reform laws, which took effect Jan. 1. Critics of the reform blamed the rise in crime on the release of suspects without bail, but those While the rate of murder went down in New York City in in favor of the laws have said that’s a rush to judgment.

Transit crimes shot up 30 percent.

There were more shootings this year — 67 this January compared to 52 last January. On the positive side, the murder rate was down 21 percent. Hate crimes also decreased by 24 percent.

Rape declined 18 percent, but rape continues to be underreported, NYPD said.

“Overall crime [is] up almost 17 percent among those key index crimes. That’s cause for real concern,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said at a press conference Tuesday. He added, “Important good news: murders down, rape down this January compared to last so we see some things that are going in the right direction.”

NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea blamed the crime spike in part on the release of more offenders as a result of the new bail reform laws.

“With the passing of the new law, we saw … pretty dramatic increase in the people that were let out of Rikers in accordance with the law, and that’s something that we will deal with,” he said.

New mural featuring Robert De Niro in Domino Park

This massive mural by French artist JR opened Monday in Domino Park and features photographs of more than 1,000 New Yorkers.

Continued from page 2

“We wanted to bring ‘The Chronicles of New York City’ outdoors into a public space to have it as free and as accessible to as many people as possible,” said Sharon Matt Atkins, co-curator of “JR: Chronicles” and the museum’s director of exhibitions and strategic initiatives.

“As you look at the mural, you see the Williamsburg Bridge in the mural and also as the backdrop of the mural, so it ended up being the absolute perfect placement and juxtaposition.”

To photograph the subjects, JR drove a 53foot truck with a photo studio in the back throughout the five boroughs. He took random people off the street, as well as local shop

owners, and photographed them.

Look close enough, and you might see a few familiar faces, including famed actor Robert De Niro, dancer Lil Buck and the artist himself doing a wheelie on a bike.

JR also captured each subject’s audio story, asking what New York City means to them and recording their responses. Onlookers can download the JR Murals app and listen

to their answers.

The artist started working on “The Chronicles of New York City” in the summer of 2018 and was initially inspired by Diego Rivera’s epic murals depicting the eclectic mix of city life, according to Matt Atkins.

The entire piece is fastened to a maze-like structure of shipping containers, and was created in collaboration with architectural design firm LOT-EK. JR has two other outdoor murals currently on display at the historic Kings Theatre in Flatbush, as well as the Brooklyn Academy of Global Finance in BedfordStuyvesant. A fourth is slated to open in Downtown Brooklyn in the spring.

His exhibit “JR: Chronicles” is on view at the Brooklyn Museum though May 3. It features photographs, videos, dioramas and archival materials from throughout the artist’s career.

JR also has work — which he collaborated with De Niro on — on display at the abandoned Ellis Island Immigrant Hospital where he installed 25 life-size photos of real immigrants from the Ellis Island archives. additional photo on page 4

City Councilmember Rafael Espinal calls exit from City Council ‘bittersweet’ ‘It’s the work that really attracted me to politics, not the politics within the politics.’

By Michael Stahl Greenpoint Gazette

Rafael Espinal, the staunch progressive who has represented parts of Bushwick, Brownsville, Cypress Hills and East New York in the City Council since 2014, has resigned. Espinal announced he’ll be taking over as executive director of the Freelancers Union, a national organization of independent workers with half a million members.

The move comes shortly after Espinal ended a brief campaign for Brooklyn Borough President and with nearly two years left in his second and final term as the City Councilmember for the 37th District, where the 35-year-old Dominican-American was raised. Espinal also finished seventh in the race for Public Advocate, which was won by fellow City Councilmember Jumaane Williams, in 2019.

Though he enjoyed his time in the City Council, and described his exit from the body as “bittersweet,” Espinal told the Greenpoint Gazette that he was “never really interested in the politics behind it all.”

“It’s the work that really attracted me to politics, not the politics within the politics,” he said.

But Espinal’s work did result in several headline-grabbing legislative achievements during his tenure at the City Council, including a repeal of the Prohibition-era Cabaret Law, which banned dancing in night clubs without a special permit, and had been used by law enforcement at times to shut down nightlife establishments subjectively deemed a community nuisance. His advocacy for the city’s nightlife community continued in 2017, when he successfully pushed for the creation of the Office of Nightlife, a point of contact in the mayor’s office for stakeholders in the industry, community and city agencies.

Last year, Espinal also led the charge in the City Council’s passing of a law requiring green roofs on newly constructed buildings, which, along with his introduction of a citywide ban on single-use plastics, including straws, cutlery and water bottles, highlighted his commitment to making New York more environmentally sustainable.

Espinal’s run in city government was not completely devoid of controversy or criticism, however.

Less than a year after his election, Espinal ascended to chair of the Committee on Consumer Affairs in the Council, and clashed with Bill de Blasio over the mayor’s campaign promise to ban horse-drawn carriages. Backed by animal safety advocates, some of whom protested Espinal outside City Hall, the legislation fizzled after Espinal fought it, citing the loss of jobs such a ban would induce.

Anti-poverty activists also criticized the East New York rezoning that Espinal helped shape, claiming it would spur further gentrification in the borough, as the affordable housing included in the plan was not actually affordable to many of the neighborhood’s longstanding residents. Espinal told the Gazette, referring to the rezoning, that he will “continue remaining active, locally, in my community, and making sure that the work that we put in place continues to be delivered the way it was intended to.”

Espinal’s work to pass New York City’s Freelance Isn’t Free Act in May 2017 brought him to the attention of the Freelancers Union.

That law, which the Freelancers Union also helped enact, created and enhanced protections for freelance workers, including the right to a written contract, timely and full payment and protection for contractors from retaliation from employers who do not adhere to the legislation.

Among other worker rights-related legislation that Espinal has backed, he also sponsored a bill, currently laid over in committee in the City Council, that would make it unlawful for employers to require workers, including freelancers, to check emails and other electronic communications during non-work hours.

“We were impressed with his energy,” Hanan Kolko, chair of the Freelancers Union board of directors, told the Gazette. “He’s someone who’s familiar with our issues and has a demonstrated record of working to advance freelancer interest. … We are confident that he can go, not only to people in New York state, but California and other states with large

freelance populations and really do the necessary advocacy that we need.”

Espinal, who called the work of a City Councilmember “grueling,” feels he’s up to such challenges and called New York City an “incubator” for many of the Freelancers Union’s best initiatives to date.

Espinal told the Gazette that he won’t rule out a return to politics, but felt that his time to be Brooklyn Borough President, which he described as a dream of his, had just not arrived.

At least not yet.

“It really was personal, it came from the heart,” he said of his decision to not seek the office. “I think that, being someone who puts a lot of energy into their work, I felt

“I’m going to focus on a 50-state strategy of, how do we replicate what New York was so successful in?” Espinal said. “Once we get that ball rolling, I’m going to sit down with workers and sit down with stakeholders and figure out, what does freelancing in the next five years look like?”

that I wasn’t going to be able to sustain that for the next two years [during a campaign].”

He added that as Executive Director of the Freelancers Union, it was another, “exciting” way that he can “continue being active and helpful to our city’s constituency.”

By law, the mayor has 80 days from the time when Espinal’s resignation went into effect, to call a special election for his replacement in the City Council’s 37th District.

News From Your Neighborhood COPS SEEK BRAZEN THIEVES WHO STOLE ATM FROM HOTEL

SUNSET PARK — Police are searching for the two thieves who stole an ATM machine from inside a Sunset Park hotel on Jan. 8, according to the Brooklyn Reporter. Police said the ATM at Hotel BPM Brooklyn, on 33rd Street between Third and Fourth avenues, was stolen by two men who threatened to shoot two hotel employees if they didn’t get down on the ground. The suspects beat them before stealing the ATM, using a hand trolley to remove it.

BERNIE’S STILL ANGRY ABOUT DODGERS LEAVING BROOKLYN

FLATBUSH — Brooklyn-born presidential candidate U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders is still angry about the departure of the Dodgers from Brooklyn in 1957, according to InsideHook, a website geared to “the affluent, on-the-go gent.” Sanders was 16 at the time, and to this day he refers to the event as “the worst thing that ever happened.” Sanders, in an interview with The New York Times, also said that the Dodgers’ leaving Brooklyn made him suspicious of large companies and how the decisions made by a small number of people at the top can have a negative impact on thousands. His lingering displeasure about the Dodgers leaving for Los Angeles is one of the reasons Sanders opposes Major League Baseball’s reported plan to alter the minor-league system and change the affiliation of, or eliminate, as many as 42 teams, InsideHook said. 

“America has a troubled history of abusing people of color, like slavery and Japanese internment camps … this is not a time that we want our history to repeat itself.” In addition to the four African countries named above, Trump also added Myanmar, where Muslims are being persecuted, and Kyrgyzstan, both in Asia. 

The proposal would also remove assessment caps, which currently limit the amount that property taxes for homeowners can increase, to 6 percent over a one-year period or 20 percent over a five-year period.

The “Mona Lisa” arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art yesterday from Washington on the second stop of her two-exhibit American visit.

A special van owned by the National Gallery in Washington brought Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece here in a police-escorted six-car convoy, including secret service men and guards

from the Louvre Museum in Paris.

The portrait in its special packing case was quickly carried to a vault in the Metropolitan’s basement without ceremony or fanfare.

“Mona Lisa” will be mounted Wednesday on a red velvet drapery in the center gate of a Renaissance Choir Screen in the Museum’s Medieval Sculpture Hall. Mayor [Robert] Wagner will accept the loan of the painting

from French Ambassador Herve Alphand at a private reception Wednesday night.

The public will be admitted to the Museum Thursday morning for a first glimpse of the painting which drew 673,872 persons to the National Gallery in the past four weeks. “Mona Lisa” will be on display at the Metropolitan until March 4 and is expected to attract nearly one million persons.

Relocated from Manhattan, this all-volunteer company’s rehearsals and meetings refl ect their of mission Photos courtesy JAG-ONE 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.

Valentine’s Day eats and treats: Sweet, luscious snacks for loved ones

alentine’s Day naturally brings thoughts of hearts, flowers, sweetness and love. Because it also occurs during American Heart Month, it’s a perfect opportunity to start taking care of your own heart and the hearts of loved ones.

Part of the charm of the day’s celebrations is in giving family and friends flavorful foods to enjoy, from chocolates and candies to other sugary treats. However, the festivities don’t have to be completely focused on unhealthy bites in order to make someone feel special.

This year, it can be easy to share in the fun of Valentine’s Day by serving those you love sweet, seasonal treats.

For example, these Frosted Watermelon Cutouts make ideal snacks for children and adults alike, whether as an after-school treat or a sweet dessert with just three ingredients, heart-shaped cookie cutters and minimal time spent in the kitchen.

If you’re really looking to impress that special someone, this Watermelon and Chocolate Dessert Board calls for creativity and plenty of tasty morsels like berries, cashews, almonds and dark chocolate, without any baking or cooking required. Simply spread out the ingredients for a platter that’s just as visually appealing as it is appetizing.

Both recipes include watermelon, which boasts plenty of vitamin C to boost the immune system’s defenses as a cholesterol-free, fat-free and sodium-free food. Plus, watermelon draws its red color from the powerful antioxidant lycopene (12.7 mg per serving), which may help protect cells from damage, and the healthy treat is American Heart Association Heart-Check Certified with just 80 calories per serving, making it the perfect centerpiece for Valentine’s Day recipes.

“This is like a tumbleweed that’s just coming on the wind”

“New York Clearing” can be seen from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade.

r it i sh s c u lptor Antony Gormley unveiled “New York Clearing,” his latest work and first public sculpture in New York City in 10 years at Brooklyn Bridge Park on Tuesday, Feb. 4.

The artwork, on view

through March 27, features a single line made up of 11 miles of square aluminum tubing that loops, bends and coils endlessly into the sky like a giant slinky.

His “drawing in space” rises nearly 50 feet high and creates an environment that encourages viewers to meet inside the work and interact with it.

“I think, for me, it’s not a body, maybe not even a sculpture in the traditional sense in so far as it’s more energy less mass,” Gormley said. “This is an open work; it doesn’t have a skin. You’re invited in a way to meet others that you might not have met before.

“It’s not a thing that represents something. It’s a

The piece whimsically plays off the Lower Manhattan skyline in the background, countering the city’s “swooping lines of energy,” and sparkles in the evening as the lights from the pier ricochet off the maze of metal.

The piece was commissioned and paid for by CONNECT, BTS, a global project connecting 22 artists in five different cities across the world, including New York.

“The art world can be quite self-serving, quite internalized,” Gormley said.

“To reaffirm that art is essentially everyone’s, that it’s made to be shared, I think is the root of [BTS’] philosophy and why I agreed to play a part in what is … a very ideological wish that art should be a platform for

Gormley’s last public art installation in New York, “Event Horizon,” featured 31 life-sized body forms — 27 in the sky and four on the ground — in Madison Square Park in Manhattan.

Eric Landau, president of the Brooklyn Bridge Park Corporation, said Gormley’s work and the park’s construction have come full circle. When he installed “Event Horizon” in 2010, it was the same year that construction on Brooklyn Bridge Park started.

Ten years later, Landau said it was only fitting that

The area was initially meant for people to ride their bikes on and gather, according to Landau, but “never did we ever imagine this space would be used for this,” he said.

And the space will not be used like this forever. “New York Clearing” will be on view at the northeast corner of Pier 3 for just under two months before it’s gone in the blink of an eye.

“This is like a tumbleweed that’s just coming on the wind,” Gormley said. “It will be here temporarily. It will be gone.”

Take a February stroll through landmark-worthy Central Park Slope, part one Eye on

REAL ESTATE

By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn

New York City’s largest collection of historic buildings that isn’t landmarked can be found in Central Park Slope. A neighborhood organization is trying to remedy this situation.

The Park Slope Civic Council’s Historic District Committee plans to ask the city Landmarks Preservation Commission to designate part of an area in Park Slope that’s termed “the Center Slope” as a historic district, or perhaps multiple historic districts.

It has a heavy concentration of Victorian-era architecture and played an important role in the Revolutionary War. An advocacy organization known as the Historic Districts Council will assist in these efforts.

This is the FDNY Squad Co. 1 firehouse.

The Historic Districts Council recently put the area on its new Six to Celebrate list of New York City neighborhoods that merit preservation attention. Winning this annual award means the Park Slope Civic Council will receive help throughout the course of 2020 from the Historic Districts Council with strategic planning, advocacy, outreach, programs and building public awareness.

HDC is good at getting the Landmarks Preservation Commission’s staff to do surveys of neighborhoods, which are crucial preludes to their being designated as historic districts.

The portion of the Center Slope on which the civic council and HDC are focusing their landmarking campaign starts just east of Fifth Avenue and extends from Union Street to 7th Street. It ends at the border of the existing Park Slope Historic District, which for the most part is just east of Seventh Avenue.

Welcome to the Center Slope.

INBrooklyn photos by Lore Croghan

The money that’s raised supports the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation’s programs, including those which assist first responders and catastrophically injured service members.

Outside Squad Co. 1’s firehouse, there’s a 9/11 commemorative wood sculpture called “Out of the Rubble.” Nyal Thomas Jr. and Rick Boswell carved the artwork from a single tree.

‘Radical change in virtually every community’ Walk down Seventh Avenue and turn onto President Street with me while I continue my narrative about the Center Slope landmarking campaign.

Peter Bray, who chairs the Park Slope Civic Council’s Historic District Committee, said in an interview that his group feels a sense of urgency about landmarking the Center Slope because of development pressures.

Architectural eye candy This part of the Center Slope is a wonderful place for a winter walk. Begin on Union Street, on the block between Fifth and Sixth avenues, and weave through the area from north to south.

—Continued on page 13INB—

Old-fashioned charm shines forth from this row of residential buildings, which starts with 740 Union St. at left.

You’ll get an eyeful of brownstones in numerous architectural styles, small apartment houses that preservationists refer to as flats buildings, interesting shops and restaurants and stunning churches.

The other day, I strolled around the area. There were so many beautiful buildings to photograph that I only covered part of the terrain. Even so, I took too many pictures to fit into a single story.

So I’m going to publish some of my snapshots next week.

Stephen Siller’s firehouse I should point out the famous Park Slope Food Coop is located at 782 Union St. And next door, at 788 Union St., there’s the handsome firehouse that is the home to FDNY Squad Co. 1.

A dozen members of the squad perished in rescue efforts at the World Trade Center on 9/11. One of them was Firefighter Stephen Siller.

You know his story. When he was on his way from Brooklyn to the World Trade Center that terrible morning, the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel was closed. So he ran through it with 60 pounds of firefighter’s gear strapped to his back.

Every year, on the last Sunday in September, the Tunnel to Towers 5K Run & Walk is held to honor those who died on 9/11.

STROLL THROUGH LANDMARK-WORTHY CENTRAL PARK SLOPE, PART ONE Continued from page 12 INB “The city, starting back in the Bloomberg Administration, has been hellbent on doing upzonings, and we’ve experienced a radical change in virtually every community,” Bray said. “Neighborhoods that had a stable physical fabric for generations have been transformed practically overnight. And those same pressures exist in Park Slope.”

Rezoning in 2004 increased allowable density on Fifth Avenue and Seventh Avenue — and of course, on Fourth Avenue, where there has been a massive wave of development, he said.

And in 2016, the de Blasio Administration brought forth the Zoning for Quality and Affordability program, which encourages development.

Also, as is true in many New York City neighborhoods, there are well-heeled Park Slope homeowners with “a significant amount of appetite for expanding 19th-century buildings by putting a story on top and building rearyard additions. And those are having an enormous impact on the integrity of neighborhoods, particularly in Brownstone Brooklyn,” he said.

“And so it’s not that all those changes will be completely stopped by expanding the historic district in Park Slope. But there will be the fact that those changes can be reviewed and regulated by the Landmarks Preservation Commission,” Bray added.

St. Francis Xavier Church On the corner of President Street and Sixth Avenue, there’s a beautiful house made of elaborately patterned brick with stone trim. It’s St. Francis Xavier Church’s rectory, which was designed by architect Charles Werner and built in 1889, research material from the Park Slope Civic Council indicates.

When you look past the rectory, you get a good view of the church building, which is situated on the corner of Carroll Street and Sixth Avenue.

Highly regarded architect Thomas F. Houghton designed the granite Gothic Revivalstyle house of worship, which was dedicated in 1904.

It has a soaring spire and a terrific tympanum — that’s the area above the church door — decorated with sculpted figures including St. Francis Xavier, who is baptizing the faithful and preaching. He was one of the first members of the Jesuits.

St. Francis Xavier Parish was founded in 1886.

The parish website has a virtual tour of the church with photos of its stunning interior.

‘A spotlight on the Center Slope’ The Historic District Committee expects its Center Slope landmarking campaign will take several years to bear fruit.

“We’re very hopeful that with the current set of leadership at the LPC, they will be receptive to working with us on Center Slope some time in the near future,” Bray said.

The group Bray heads was motivated to seek the Historic Districts Council’s help because “we want to shine a spotlight on the Center Slope,” Bray said. “We want to create some momentum that hopefully will get the LPC’s attention.”

Also, the Historic Districts Council will help the Park Slope group do community outreach.

The Park Slope Civic Council’s Historic District Committee has already talked to Center Slope building owners and obtained several hundred letters of support from them. It has also done extensive research in Buildings Department archives.

LEFT: The corner apartment building is 218 Sixth Ave. with President Street rowhouses at left.

There’s lots of info on Old First’s website about stunning interior restoration work that’s been done, and further work that’s planned.

The church was established in 1654 by Peter Stuyvesant, the Dutch Colonial director-general of New Amsterdam.

If the LPC’s staffers do decide to focus on the Center Slope area that Bray’s committee is championing for historicdistrict designation, he wouldn’t expect them to work on such an extensive area in one shot. They’d be more likely to break the job into two phases, Bray said.

In the past, the staffers have taken the position that the agency has limited resources, and “they can’t devote all those resources to one particular neighborhood and they have to spread their attention around to all five boroughs,” Bray said.

sites. We continue to study the surrounding areas in the context of our priorities in all five boroughs.”

The Park Slope Civic Council was instrumental in getting the original Park Slope Historic District designated in 1973. It encompasses an area close to Prospect Park.

The group also worked to get additions to the district made. Extension I, which is in the South Slope, was designated in 2012. Extension II, which includes part of the North Slope, was designated in 2016.

The LPC’s response

Old First Reformed Church

I asked the Landmarks Preservation Commission for comment about the civic group’s plan to campaign for historic-district status for the Center Slope.

A spokesperson responded with this statement: “Over the years, LPC has designated three historic districts in Park Slope resulting in the protection of 2,855 buildings and

The last building that gets a shout-out in this story is the Old First Reformed Church, an Indiana limestone, Neo-Gothic house of worship on the corner of Seventh Avenue and Carroll Street.

Distinguished architect George L. Morse designed the church, which was dedicated in 1891.

— He and his twin brother Frank were born in Ali Terme, Sicily in 1929, and were the youngest of eight children. Carmelo spent his teenage years working as a shoemaker in Milan during WWII and immigrated to the United States where he met his beautiful wife, Velia DiPaolo.

They settled in Bay Ridge, where they raised their four children.

Carmelo was a dedicated and extremely hard-working member of Sheet Metal Local 28. He will always be remembered for his kind heart, sense of humor, infectious laugh, love of good food and wine, the joy he brought to all who knew him and most of all, for the love he had for his family. He enjoyed gardening, making wine and playing bocce, but his greatest joy was spending time with his grandchildren. He is predeceased by his son John Cintorrino and survived by his wife Velia Cintorrino; daughters Francesca Shea, Marisa Perez and Donna McLeer; sons-inlaw Daniel Shea, John Perez

WOODS, John Joseph — On Feb. 1. U.S. Army veteran, National Guard, 69th Infantry Regiment. Beloved husband of Melanie Raneri Woods. Loving father of John Woods, Kevin Woods (Margaret), Kassy Brady (Jim), Krissy Hansen (Chris), Gabrielle Woods, Emilie Woods and the late Danny Woods.

In lieu of flowers, the Woods family would appreciate donations to

JALEXANDER@BROOKLYNEAGLE. COM

John Joseph Woods embodied the finest attributes of being a teacher. In fact, during his 38 years at Xaverian High School in Bay Ridge, Woods wore many hats, serving as a coach, guidance counselor and head coach on both the varsity baseball and varsity basketball teams. Woods was born Sept.

27, 1936 and died on Saturday, Feb. 1.

Woods began his career at Xaverian in 1960 and worked there until his retirement in

1998. He was a community leader and a member of the St. Francis Society, the Padraic Society and the Xaverian Athletic Hall of Fame.

“John’s passing will leave a void that cannot be filled, but we are certain that his memory will continue to live on through the lives he impacted as an educator, counselor and coach,” read a statement issued

by Xaverian High School.

Testimonials have been pouring in from Woods’ former students. Attorney Rob Rich remembers Woods as a great educator. “I remember Mr. Woods as one of my

favorite teachers,” Rich told this paper. “I really liked him and he will be missed.”

Xaverian President Robert Alesi said knowing Woods was a blessing. “While I am saddened to hear of John’s passing, I can’t help but smile at the blessing he was to the Xaverian community,” said Alesi.

“It was my great fortune to have John as a teacher, coach and colleague,” Alesi added. “My prayers are with the Woods family as well as our own Xaverian family. He was a giant.”

Woods was an Army veteran

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN

Holy St. Jude, Apostle and Martyr, great in virtue and rich in miracles, near kinsman of Jesus Christ, Faithful intercessor of all who invoke your special patronage in time of need, to you I have recourse from the depth of my heart and humbly beg to who God has given such great assistance. Help me in my present and urgent petition. In return I promise to make your name known and cause you to be invoked. St. Jude, pray for all who invoke your aid. Amen.

Say 3 Our Fathers, 3 Hail Marys and Glorias. Publication must be promised. This novena has never been known to fail.

Prayer to St. Jude. God who through Thy blessed Apostle Jude has brought us into the knowledge of Thy name, grant that by advancing in virtue we may set forth his everlasting glory, and by steering forth, his glory we may advance in virtue through Our Lord Jesus Christ, thy Son, who livest and reignest with Thee in the united of the Holy Spirit, world without end.

Amen, “Blessed Apostle, with confidence we invoke thee! St. Jude, help of the hopeless, aid me in my distress!”

(Never known to fail) O, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine, Splendor of Heaven Blessed Mother, of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. O, Star of the Sea help me and show me, herein you are my mother. O, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity.

(Make Request) There are none that can withstand your power.

O, show me herein you are my mother. O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3X). O Holy Mary I place this cause in your hands (3X). Sweet Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3X). Thank you for your mercy to me and mine. Amen. This prayer must be said for three days and after three days your request will be granted and the prayer must be published.
