New York City has been unusually safe this summer. Crime was down across the city last month, making July 2018 the safest on record.

This trend was not true in northern Brooklyn, however, where young gang members committed a quarter of all the murders in the city in July.

The city has made “remarkable gains … even against already record lows,” Mayor Bill de Blasio and NYPD Commissioner James O’Neill told reporters during Thursday’s monthly briefing. O’Neill said the gains were made possible by a “precise focus on the real drivers of crime.”

Results for the 2018 Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce Building Brooklyn Awards had already been announced by the time civic leaders, contractors, architects and entrepreneurs

gathered inside 1 Brooklyn Bridge on Aug. 1 to confer the awards over cocktails and canapes.

Of 11 sites singled out for honors, nine are located in North Brooklyn.

Only two — Dyker Heights’ District 20 Pre-K Center and Bensonhurst’s Il Centro — are in the south.

July Was NYC’s Safest Ever, But Gang Violence Up In Northern Brooklyn continued from page 1 The city has made “remarkable gains … even against already record lows,” Mayor Bill de Blasio and NYPD Commissioner James O’Neill told reporters during last Thursday’s monthly briefing. O’Neill said the gains were made possible by a “precise focus on the real drivers of crime.”

NYPD’s chief of Crime Control Strategies Lori Pollock said the department targeted northern Brooklyn precincts when the crime pattern became apparent.

“We began observing a concentration of murders in northern Brooklyn which had six, or 25 percent of July’s total, and focused our deployment and other responses there,” she said.

O’Neill didn’t dispute figures showing that while about 61 percent of people arrested in Manhattan with a loaded gun are prosecuted on the top count, just 25 percent are in Brooklyn. In Queens, 36 percent are prosecuted on the top count; in the Bronx, 34 percent.

“While there are disparities, we continue to work with all of the DA’s offices and the U.S. attorneys to make sure that if you’re carrying a gun in New York City there are severe consequences,” O’Neill said.

De Blasio said the city has been having conversations with the DAs for more effective prosecutions.

“You know, we have a great deal of respect for the

And while shooting incidents were down across the city this past July, shootings increased in parts of Brooklyn, Pollock said. The borough overall experienced an increase in July to 43 shooting incidents versus 25 last year.

Pollock said that 40 percent of the murders and shootings across the city are gang-related, adding, “We do have pockets of gang violence; right now it’s occurring in Brooklyn.”

For the hot months, roughly 300 “Summer All Out” officers have been put in place across the city to bolster NYPD’s efforts.

Some of these officers have been deployed to the 73rd (East New York) and 75th (Crown Heights) precincts in northern Brooklyn.

Seeking Tougher Prosecutions

After a reporter pointed out the disparities between the boroughs in gun prosecutions, Commissioner O’Neill said that NYPD was working with Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez to increase prosecutions here.

DAs but we would like to see more prosecutions, there’s no question. And

the prosecution as well.

“Some of that is Eric’s office, and some of it’s the work we do, quite frankly.

We have to make sure we do our jobs correctly so we present them with good cases,” O’Neill said.

NYPD Patrol Borough Brooklyn North covers 10 precincts including the 83rd in Bushwick, the 73rd in East New York, the 77th in Crown Heights, the 83rd in Bushwick, the 84th in Downtown Brooklyn, the 90th in Williamsburg and the 94th in Greenpoint.

July Crime Highlights: • Year to date, overall index crimes are down nearly 2 percent.

• There were 24 murders in NYC in July, tied for the lowest number on record since 2013 and down from 38 in 2017.

• Northern Brooklyn had six murders, or 25 percent of July’s total.

• The city experienced the lowest July numbers on record for robberies.

O’Neill said NYPD had to do a better job helping out

• There were 90 shooting incidents this month, the second lowest number on record. But shootings are up in northern Brooklyn in July, to 28 incidents, double last July’s figure of 14.

NYC Cap on Uber and Lyft Are ‘A Step in the Wrong Direction,’ Advocates Charge

By Mary Frost

Greenpoint Gazette

Representatives of businesses and advocacy groups called out the New York City Council’s proposed cap on car services like Uber and Lyft last Thursday, saying it was “a step in the wrong direction” that would hurt the outer boroughs.

A package of bills limiting ride-sharing vehicles was introduced to the Council last Wednesday. One, sponsored

by Councilmember Stephen Levin (D-Greenpoint, Brooklyn Heights), would require the Taxi and Limousine Commission to limit ride-share licenses for a year. Another would establish minimum wages for drivers. TLC will submit recommendations at the end of the study period.

The popular ride-sharing services are under fire for making New York City’s congestion worse than ever and driving traditional cab drivers to the brink of bankruptcy.

The number of Uber, Lyft and other app-based cars has increased to almost 60,000, according to a 2017 study by Schaller Consulting. A cap on new licenses could reduce the number of ride-share cars on the street because of high driver turnover rates.

But ride-share advocates said last Thursday that a cap on new licenses would reduce rides to outer-borough neighborhoods, hurting businesses and cutting back on opportunities for minority drivers.

Sulma Arzu-Brown, director of operations for the NYC Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, said that it wasn’t long ago when yellow cab drivers refused to take customers to outer borough destinations.

“For us to get a ride now, it’s quick and easy,” Brown told the Greenpoint Gazette.

With ride-share services, community members “can participate in the overall vibrancy of New York City,” she said. “We don’t want to return to the pre-Uber days. We want to see all communities respected, with equal opportunities for all.”

Brooklyn’s Threes Brewing Wins NYS Craft Brewing Competition

A Brooklyn brewery has once again been chosen as the best craft beer in New York state. Threes Brewing won the grand prize, the Governor’s Excelsior Cup, at the state’s annual Craft Beer Competition for the second year in a row with its Belgian farmhouse-style “Passing Time” ale, according to amNewYork. The competition, which is only in its second year, took place in July in Rochester at the Department of Agriculture and Markets’ Great New York State Fair. “Passing Time” was the best of 642 entries from 120 breweries representing 40 different styles of beer. Last year, Threes Brewing’s European-style pilsner “Vliet” beat out 700 other beers to win the competition. The company, which started in December 2014, has created more than 60 brews with unusual names like “Gender Neutral” and “I Hate Myself.” “There’s a real renaissance going on in New York state for craft breweries,” Joshua Stylman, co-founder and CEO of Threes Brewing, told amNewYork. Stylman owns two bars in Gowanus and Greenpoint, which serve his brews.

Brooklyn Eagle photo by Mary Frost While Brown feels for traditional taxi drivers, “The beauty of New York City economy is competition,” she said. There are many other opportunities “in so many areas” for cabbies who need other work, she said.

When the L Train Goes Down

The cap on new licenses would hit neighborhoods like Greenpoint and Williamsburg particularly hard, local business owners said, because the upcoming Ltrain shutdown scheduled to begin in April will leave residents with less access to transportation.

The city expects the shutdown, which affects the L line between Brooklyn and Manhattan, to last about 15 months.

Felice Kirby, co-founder of Brooklyn Allied Bars and Restaurants, says North Brooklyn needs ride-share companies to take up the slack while the L train is out.

“We would ask the rideshare companies to ferry groups of pooled rides to the embarkation points for trains and buses to support mass transit,” Kirby said. “We’re looking for different pickup points, we’re looking for DOT to change some of the traffic patterns so that we do have good flow. And we support all thinking and modern ideas to address congestion in congested places. We just don’t think this is well thought out.”

Kirby said following the press conference that the rideshare limit would hit a younger, more savvy demographic.

“We’re talking about a demographic that uses their smart phones and wants to be able to pull in a ride, know where the driver is, see picture of the driver, see their license plate, have a trail of information. Why shouldn’t all the yellow cabs, green cabs, why shouldn’t everybody have a system like that?” Kirby said.

“It’s not our place to speak about how the industry should operate themselves, but we don’t think that taking away an existing resource in this manner makes sense at this time,” Kirby added.

Besides Arzu-Brown and Kirby, speakers at the press conference last Thursday, held at the Brooklyn Bowl in Williamsburg, included Bryan Lozano, Tech:NYC; Elaine Brodsky, North Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce; and Courtenay Casey, National Sawdust.

Levin’s bill includes some wiggle room, with langue that would allow TLC to issue unlimited licenses which “would increase the availability of for-hire services in different geographic areas of the city where such services are needed, and where such licenses would not substantially contribute to traffic congestion.”

Last Friday, Lyft issued a statement saying the bills “would take New York back to an era of standing on the corner and hoping to get a ride. Wait times would increase significantly and driver earnings and job opportunities would shrink. Worst of all, the proposals prioritize corporate medallion owners above the overwhelming majority of New Yorkers.”

Lyft said it was prepared to support an industry commitment to a $100 million hardship fund “to assist individual medallion owner-operators who are in financial pain.”

Kingsland Wildflowers: A Rooftop Oasis in Brooklyn’s Industrial North

By Liliana Bernal

Special to Greenpoint Gazette

Embedded in Greenpoint’s heavily industrial area, there is the Kingsland Wildflowers roof, a meadow with grasses, flowers and sedum plants designed to support urban wildlife.

Surrounded by a scrap metal yard, a plastic recycling company, a natural gas plant and the Newtown

Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant, the 22,000square-foot rooftop harbors native plants, birds and insects.

The green space consists of four green roofs sitting on top of Broadway Stages’ film studios on Kingsland Avenue. It’s the result of a neighborhood partnership that includes landscaping company Alive Structures, New York City Audubon and the Newtown Creek Alliance.

The meadow was subsidized through the Greenpoint Community Environmental Fund, an environmental grant program created with funds of a settlement with Exxon Mobil over its Greenpoint oil spill.

“This roof is very needed,” said Niki Jackson, the project coordinator. “We are not only looking at how we can solve issues around the Urban Heat Island Effect [developed areas that are hotter than nearby rural areas], cooling the areas around the space but also how we can help prevent rainwater, stormwater runoff and CSOs [combined sewage overflows] into our nearby Newtown Creek and East River as well as the air quality from all of the industry in the area.”

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.

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.

This week’s birthdays:

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

Paul Richard Olson accompanies on piano as the Rev. Dr. Allen Robinson, the new rector of Grace Church, leads the group in a variety of his favorite hymns.

INBrooklyn photo by Francesca N. Tate

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.

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.

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.
