The First National Bank of Long Island Opens Cobble Hill Branch Ribbon Cutting Marks Long Island Institution’s Ongoing Commitment to Brooklyn and Queens By Andy Katz
Special to Brooklyn Heights Press
The First National Bank of Long Island celebrated the grand opening of its second branch in Brooklyn — and first in Cobble Hill — with a ribbon cutting and cake at the newly refurbished Smith Street storefront on June 22. “It’s a big responsibility to give back to the community,” explained The First National Bank of Long Island President and CEO Michael N. Vittorio after cutting a red ribbon to formally open the new branch office. “This is also a homecoming for me — I was born here in Brooklyn. I grew up in Bedford-Stuyvesant. My grandparents, my parents — we all lived there.” Asked if the neighborhood had changed much since his day, Vittorio smiled, “It has, yes. And it
hasn’t. It’s just a great community, with esprit de corps — the restaurants, the stores, the coffee shops and just great people — just a wonderful, wonderful place to live.” “This is an area we wanted to be in,” Executive Vice President Rick Perro explained. “There is a mix of small business and professionals here, so we’re very excited about this location.” Perro went on to explain that The First National Bank of Long Island envisions a more or less even mix of personal and commercial banking at the Cobble Hill branch. “Right now, we’re in the middle of a rate campaign,” Perro continued. “We’re offering a special rate on savings and CDs. It’s a way to get customers familiar with our services.” Continued on page 8

Neighbors Worry Footbridge Connecting Montague St. To Brooklyn Bridge Park Will Bring Circus to Their Door Dean: Risks ‘Changing the Character of Our Neighborhood’ By Mary Frost
Brooklyn Heights Press
Building a footbridge connecting Montague Street to Brooklyn Bridge Park will ruin the “peace and relaxation” of the Brooklyn Heights Promenade and infringe on the Promenade’s protected views, say some Heights residents who live near Montague Street. They are quietly pushing back against a campaign by a group called Connect Montague for a direct link from the Promenade to the waterfront green space. A long list of officials and groups, including Community Board 2 and the Brooklyn Heights Association (BHA) have endorsed at least exploring the idea, Connect Montague representative Steve Rothman told members of the Montague Street BID last Thursday. With the planned $2 billion renovation of the cantilevered portion of the BrooklynQueens Expressway (BQE) under the Promenade, “the time is now,” he said. Montague Street is already Brooklyn Heights’ main commercial thoroughfare, and the increased pedestrian traffic would be a boost to businesses, said Kate Chura, executive director of the Montague Street Business Improvement District. No one at Thursday’s meeting spoke out against the idea. But Rick Dean, president of the co-op board at 2 Montague Terrace, says the idea requires much
more study before any support is given. The stately 2 Montague Terrace is adjacent to the walkway connecting Montague Street to the Promenade. In a letter to the BHA, Dean said a Montague Street entrance could kill the neighborhood. “The addition of an asof-yet-undefined park access point on the Promenade, with undetermined physical characteristics and potentially dramatic increases in foot traffic risks drastically changing the character of our neighborhood, damaging the unique qualities of the Promenade as a place of peace and relaxation, infringing on the Scenic View District which the BHA has fought so hard to preserve and potentially impacting the quality of life in our Landmarked Historic neighborhood in ways I have not even imagined,” Dean wrote. BHA had testified regarding issues of park access and public safety in a hearing held by DOT regarding the Environmental Impact Analysis that DOT will conduct on the BQE project. Assemblymember Jo Anne Simon told the Brooklyn Heights Press on Monday, “It makes sense to explore the idea. It may be that it’s technically infeasible. It may be that it’s too disruptive or lengthens the roadwork. There’s no question the entire [BQE] triple cantilever repair will be dis-
The following groups support asking the Department of Transportation to explore additional access to Brooklyn Bridge Park: • Montague Street BID • U.S. Rep. Nydia M. Velázquez • Brooklyn Heights Association • Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams • Brooklyn Bridge Park Corporation • State Sen. Brian Kavanagh • Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy • The Willowtown Association • Assemblymember Jo Anne Simon • Councilmember Stephen Levin • Fulton Ferry Landing Association • Atlantic Avenue BID • Downtown Brooklyn Partnership 4 • Brooklyn Heights Press • Thursday, June 28, 2018

ruptive.” “The point is, there should be civic engagement,” she added. “I want to hear people’s concerns. Exploring the idea doesn’t mean ignoring concerns.” Other elected officials backing the plan’s exploration, in a June 12 letter to DOT Commissioner Polly Trottenberg, include U.S. Rep. Nydia M. Velázquez, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, state Sen. Brian Kavanagh and Councilmember Stephen Levin.
Trouble on Joralemon
Roughly 5 million people visited the park last summer. During recent summers, residents of cobblestoned Joralemon Street
have increasingly reported “impassable sidewalks, allnight-long noise, trash and harassment,” along with an increase in crime. “I sympathize with my neighbors …” Dean wrote. “Their experience serves as the best example as to why any new access point needs to be carefully and thoroughly studied and planned before any BHA support is given.” In April, DOT issued the following statement: “DOT has committed to studying the feasibility of additional pedestrian access to Brooklyn Bridge Park from a number of Brooklyn Heights locations. Feasibility criteria include meeting the ADA requirements in addition to the needs of the overall
project concepts [which] will be developed by DOT and shared with community over next few months. The design and
implementation of potential pedestrian access will be completed by the Design Build Team, with DOT’s input.”
Assemblymember Jo Anne Simon is hosting her Fourth Annual Senior Resource Fair on Friday, June 29. The fair — cosponsored by Sen. Velmanette Montgomery, Sen. Brian Kavanagh, Councilmember Stephen Levin and Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams — will feature more than 60 groups available to provide senior citizens with
information on legal services, health care, government and community resources, and more. A town hall will also be held on health and wellness as one ages. The fair runs from 10 a.m to 2 p.m. at St. Francis College, 180 Remsen St. The town hall will take place at 12:30 p.m.

Dyker Real Estate as Diverse as its History BY BRANDON SAPIENZA EDITORIAL@BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM
H
ouses in Dyker Heights are some of the most unique homes, perhaps in the entire city. With massive properties and mansions sprinkled throughout the area, those with money tend to flock to the area in search of their dream home. So do longtime savers who simply love the ‘hood. Currently in Dyker, there are more t ha n 20 0 properties available for rent or purchase. Many of these properties include condos and apartments, giving those with a smaller budget an opportunity to live in the area without breaking the bank. According to Trulia, a top site for buyers, sellers, renters and real estate

Some of the homes in Dyker Heights. professionals, the median price of a home in Dyker currently sits at $915,000, while the average rent is $2,350. Though Dyker isn’t one of the “trendy” neighborhoods like Park
Slope or Williamsburg, many of the houses in the area are spacious, beautifully designed and made for families. Most of the homes have three bedrooms and two bathrooms and, despite a smaller square footage for most yards, kids of all ages will always have something to do with the many other children who call Dyker Heights home.
Of late, properties in Dyker have seen a significant spike it prices due to the demand of housing and all the neighborhood benefits that go with it. From July, 2013 to January, 2018, properties in the area have seen a 41 percent increase in median price, according to Trulia. However, in that same time frame, the amount of sales have fluctuated significantly. In regards to renting, while for a long time it wasn't popular in Dyker, the amount of renters has reached a high point with 19 properties currently being rented. Just a few months before, 32 properties were being rented out. Additionally, rent prices have seen a very large increase between October and December of 2017, with prices rising to as high as $3,200 per month. Dyker homes are one of the best kept secrets in Brooklyn. Thanks to people not necessarily “flocking” to the neighborhood like they are to many other high-end Brooklyn ’hoods, prices of homes can remain lower than in other nabes, helping those who love Dyker call the community their home for a little while, or for life.

Living and Learning in Dyker Heights BY BRANDON SAPIENZA EDITORIAL@BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM
D
yker Heights has above average schools that provide a solid foundation for all children to learn and grow in warm environments. The area, though small in size and part of a city public school district that’s notably overcrowded, is home to three private schools and four public schools. Combined, these seven schools range in grades from Nursery to 8. St. Ephrem, located at 7415 Fort Hamilton Parkway, offers a wide variety of extracurricular activities and programs to all of its students and is run by Principal Craig Mercado. For years, the school has received consistent praise from parents and students alike. St. Bernadette, 1313 13th Avenue, also offers a bevy of programs that allow for the growth and development of its students. This school, under the guidance of Sister Joan DiRienzo, is also highly regarded throughout the community.

P.S. 176 is among the stellar schools in Dyker Heights. Leif Ericson Day School, 1037 72nd Street, is the last of the private schools in Dyker and has been a longstanding staple at which students are allowed to grow not only in terms of education, but also in their spirituality. Students have done just that with Christine Hauge as principal. In terms of public schools, they are scattered in every corner of the neighborhood for the convenience and zoning of the thousands of students who attend. P.S. 176, 1225 Bay Ridge Avenue, is
run by Elizabeth Culkin and is one of the four public schools in Dyker whose test scores exceed city and district averages. 176 offers an abundance of programs in sports and technology, helping students adapt to the way of the world in the 21st century. The school also offers learning in languages such as Hebrew and Cantonese. It accomplishes all this while ranking as one of, if not the most, overcrowded school in the district. As of 2015, 176 was at 175 percent capacity, though, it continues to thrive academically.
P.S. 127, 7805 Seventh Avenue, run by principal Agatha Alicandro, also offers activities and programs relevant to the present day. Additionally, 127 is one of the only schools in Brooklyn to offer a track and field program given at the track course in the schoolyard. I.S. 259, 7301 Fort Hamilton Parkway and I.S. 201, 8010 12th Avenue, make for great choices of middle schools. I.S. 201 is run by Robert Ciulla, who is the successor to longtime principal Madeline Brennan. 259’s principal is Janice Geary. Both schools are among the best in both the borough and the city with test scores 20-30 percent higher than the New York State average, and nearly 10 percent better than the district average. Wherever a student in Dyker goes, locals agree, they are bound to receive a quality education that will allow them to excel in the future. “The success of these schools can be attributed to the great teachers, experienced principals, active parents and, of course, the future leaders of our community, the students,” said Councilmember Justin Brannan.

Check Out These Top-Dollar DUMBO Condo Sales By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn
Lovely and landmarked or high-rise and modern. Either way, DUMBO homes command some of the highest prices in Brooklyn. Keep in mind that when we say a DUMBO home has sold for $4 million, we're talking about an apartment. In many beloved neighborhoods in our borough, a sum of half that size will buy you a standalone Victorian house with a yard and a garage or a historic brownstone on a beautiful block.
Stroll with us through cobblestoned waterfront DUMBO, where dazzling Brooklyn Bridge Park serves as the residents' front yard. We'll show you several buildings where big-ticket apartment sales have recently closed.

See Brooklyn Bridge Park in Its Summer Splendor Brooklyn Bridge Park’s Pier 1 offers iconic views of Lower Manhattan at every hour of the day, but they're particularly dazzling in the early morning. INBrooklyn photo by Lore Croghan By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn
It is a truth universally acknowledged that Brooklyn Bridge Park is an Instagram mecca. Some of the spots in this mecca that are most popular with photographers are kinda crowded now that summer's here. One hot spot is at the edge of the water on Pier 1, near the area where NYC Ferry riders line up to wait for boat arrivals. Photos taken there capture iconic views of the World Trade Center, Lower Manhattan's skyline, the East River and the Brooklyn Bridge. We've been trying to figure out the optimal times to take pictures on Pier 1 during the summer. We discovered an ideal moment — if you don't mind getting out of bed early on a weekend. It's 7:30 a.m. on Sunday.
The ferry's commuter crowds are absent. Most people are getting ready for church or sleeping after Saturday night revelry. You'll have Pier 1 pretty much to yourself. The stillness is deeply calming. You should check weather reports beforehand — because if you're giving up the opportunity to sleep late, you should be rewarded by getting to see what early-morning sunlight looks like on the East River. It adds a silvery sheen to the beloved World Trade Center and other Lower Manhattan skyscrapers. Another optimal time to take Pier 1 pix is in the evening between 7:15 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. The skyscrapers frame the blazing sun as it drops towards the horizon. It's an urban version of Stonehenge. As you can imagine, the entire Brooklyn Bridge Park is looking pretty great now that it's summer. We took additional pictures of it, which you can see at brooklyneagle.com.

Landmarked 70 Washington St., which is the building at right, can be seen from Brooklyn Bridge's walkway. The 2007 designation report about the DUMBO Here’s a glimpse of condo building 100 Jay St. with a Manhattan Bridge ramp in front of it. Historic District says that INBrooklyn photos by Lore Croghan Industrial Neo-Classicalstyle 70 Washington St. was constructed in 1911. There's a clock at the top of it, far more modest than the DUMBO Clocktower's but nice in any case. A condo unit at 70 Washington St. sold for $1.69 million in May. It had previously sold for $1.281 million in 2014, and before that, buyers paid $1.22 million for it in 2007, Finance Department records show. In 2005, the initial purchaser bought the apartment for $941,881 from the condo converter, Finance Department records indicate.
Check Out These Top-Dollar DUMBO Condo Sales — Continued from page 21INB —
The DUMBO Clocktower Building's condo conversion was the work of Two Trees Management. The Walentas family's company, as you surely know, created modern-day DUMBO almost singlehandedly by buying picturesque industrial buildings and turning them into office and residential properties. According to the city Landmarks Preservation Commission's 2007 designation report about the DUMBO Historic District, 1 Main St. is made of reinforced concrete. Its architectural style is Industrial Neo-Classical. Constructed in 1914, it was the pride of Gairville — a complex of eye-catching buildings that housed Scottishborn industrialist Robert Gair's corrugated paper box factories. Gair also rented space in the complex to businesses that belonged to other people. Anyway. About the most recent transaction in the DUMBO Clocktower Building. A condo on one of its lower floors sold for $4 million in June. City Finance Department records show that the sellers had owned the unit since 1999.
Right This Way to Selfie Central
Nearby Washington Street is the selfie capital of the world, or Brooklyn at least. When you stand in the middle of the road near the intersection of Water Street, you see the Empire State Building framed by the blue-green supports of the Manhattan Bridge on the nearby East River shoreline. Thanks to Instagram, photographers know this whether they're from Ohio or France or Japan. Anybody who's bold enough to drive a car on this block must proceed with extreme caution since selfie snappers act like they own the street. A couple blocks up from the water's edge, you'll find 70 Washington St., another landmarked concrete Gairville property that was converted into a condo building. It has facades on Front, Washington and York streets and is visible from the Brooklyn Bridge's pedestrian path.
Mr. Bliss's Machine Shop and A Bend in the Road A century ago, an industrialist with the melodious name of Eliphalet W. Bliss built a machine shop at 51 Jay St. The name that's now on the landmarked building's facade is that of Ben Forman & Sons, a metal-stamping firm that was a later occupant. Recently, co-developers Adam America Real Estate and Slate Property Group did a historically sensitive condo conversion of the building, which has frontage on Plymouth, Jay and Water streets. The sale of one of its penthouses just closed in May. The price was $4.003 million, Finance Department records indicate. Now, let's head down Water Street and follow it to its end. It runs along the edge of Brooklyn Bridge Park, parallel to the East River — and hooks southwards beneath the Brooklyn Bridge to keep following the shoreline. At the spot where the road bends, there's a charming landmarked house, 4 Water St. Two facades of the building are on Water Street because of the path the road takes. The historic house has been divided into condos. One of the units changed hands in March. The price was $1.99 million. The sellers had bought it from the condo converter for $997,885 in 2007, Finance Department records show.
The unit whose address is 55 Pearl St. was sold in May for $4.6 million. Finance Department records indicate that the seller had bought it from the developer for $4,474,824 in 2015. A couple blocks away, you'll see another modern development at 100 Jay St. It's hard to miss, since it's a 33-story tower in a neighborhood of mostly low- and mid-rise buildings. It has frontage on York, Jay and Front streets. The fourth side of the building faces the Manhattan Bridge and has a glassy, curved facade. The J Condominium, as it's called, was built more than a decade ago. In June, an apartment on a high floor was sold for $2.715 million. According to Finance Department records, the sellers bought it from the condo developer for $1,781,937 in 2008.

Which Way to Pearl Street?
Pearl Street is one of those place names that's used on both sides of the East River, in Lower Manhattan and DUMBO. Do you draw a blank when you try to remember where the Brooklyn version of it is located? If so, go to DUMBO's Archway under the Manhattan Bridge, then walk across the adjacent plaza. In short order, you will wind up at the corner of Pearl and Water streets. This is where architect Jared Della Valle's Alloy Development constructed the DUMBO Townhouses a couple years ago. Each condo in this five-unit property is four stories tall.

SUMMER FUN Sizzlin’ Summer Strolls Coming on Third And Fifth Avenues By Ariama Long
editorial@brooklynreporter.com
Tables and tents fill the streets, decorative lights are strung across the avenue, and thousands of visitors and residents mingle as Bay Ridge welcomes summertime on Third and Fifth Avenues with evening events that close the thoroughfares to traffic and bring local residents out to enjoy everything the strips have to offer on various Fridays this July and August. The Merchants of Third Avenue, working with the Department of Transportation (DOT), will sponsor four Summer Strolls this year, and the Bay Ridge Fifth Avenue Business Improvement District, again with city DOT, will host two of the events, which are essentially commercial block parties put together by local businesses, not-forprofit organizations and arts groups to promote the use of public space. For Summer Stroll on Third Avenue, the strip -- closed off from regular traffic to function as a pedestrian plaza -- will feature restaurants pulling tables out onto the street, musicians and other performers, art exhibits and the offerings of local merchants. “It’s an opportunity for residents to dine al fresco,” said President of MTA Robert Howe, who thoroughly enjoys people-watching during the events. “They bump into people they haven’t seen in years, and enjoy a Friday night. It hearkens back to a day where there wasn’t much traffic and you could walk the avenue.” This year, Third Avenue’s Summer Stroll will take place between 68th and 80th Streets on Friday, July 13 and Friday August 3, and between 80th and 90th Streets on Friday, July 20 and Friday, August 10, from 6 to 10:30 p.m., all days. Just two avenues away, the Fifth Avenue BID’s “The FACE of 5th (Family, Arts & Culinary Event)” will also liven up lazy summer nights. It’s scheduled to take place between 73rd and 83rd Streets on Friday, July 27 and Friday, August 17 from 5 to 10 p.m. BID Executive Director Amanda Zenteno said in an email, “Local restaurants will be participating with many diverse outdoor dining options. The avenue will be car free and filled with music, art and family friendly activities.” Among the highlights that attendees can look forward to are rides and games, live bands, basketball games and martial arts demonstrations, and even a pet “kissing” booth. In addition, the BID is looking to feature local artists and their artwork this year. Interested artists can contact the office at info@bayridgebid.com or submit an application through the website at bayridgebid.com/strolls. ebrooklyn media/file photos Week of June 28-July 4, 2018 • INBROOKLYN — A Special Section of Brooklyn Eagle//Heights Press/Home Reporter/Brooklyn Spectator/Brooklyn Record/Greenpoint Gazette • 25INB

Luna Park Rewards Students With Good Grades This Summer BY ARIAMA LONG EDITORIAL@BROOKLYNBROOKLYN.COM
T
he beginning of summer break promises to be rewarding at Luna Park in Coney Island for students who racked up good grades this past school year. The amusement park will be providing credits toward rides for those with a grade of B or higher through July 1. Open to all students, from kindergarten through college, the promotion is meant to welcome students and their families of all ages to enjoy the park’s offerings. The games and rides use a credit system; credits can be purchased online or in person and loaded onto a swipe card. Students can cash in up to five grades at the guest services desk from any 2018 report card, earning up to 20 ride credits. An A grade receives four credits and a B
grade receives three credits. “It is an honor to celebrate the academic achievement of students, and we invite all those who worked hard this school year to trade in their textbooks for thrills at Luna Park,” said Alex Zamperla, president of the amusement ride company Zamperla Group, in a press release. “Since the program’s inception in 2013, we have helped to kick off a much-deserved summer vacation with extraordinary rides and amusements.” Named after the original amusement park in Coney Island from 1903, Luna Park debuted three new attractions this season including an interactive gaming console that allows guests to shoot aliens called the Cozmo Jet, a swinging pirate ship dubbed the Coney Clipper, and the 21st century Astro Tower, a dramatic 137-foot freefall drop ride.

BROOKLYN STREETCAR GROUP Theatre for Kids and FamiliesARTISTS’ Opens in Park Slope ACTIVE THROUGHOUT THE BOROUGH By John Alexander INBROOKLYN
friendly people is fun and satisfying,” he says. The Brooklyn Eagle stopped by the new location at 89 Fourth Avenue, five blocks from Barclays Center, where the two-act musical “The Three Little Pigs Buy a Brownstone in Brooklyn” is running on weekends (2 p.m. Saturdays, 3:30 p.m. Sundays, through July 1). The Eagle is mentioned prominently in the Brooklyn-centric script in Scene 6 and the newspaper is used as a prop as well. The show’s target audience is ages six and up, with plenty of humor adults will appreciate. “Two six-year-olds are among the actors, with the oldest member more than ten times their age, and the family idea is reflected literally: the cast includes two brothers who play two of the pigs; a mother and her son have a scene together as an older pig
and hedgehog; two actors are cousins,” we’re informed. Original lyrics are set to public domain melodies including old folk songs and classic children’s tunes. The show, which emphasizes “being a good neighbor,” plus patience, perseverance, and pig puns runs through July 1, will be followed by show after show, starting with the summer musical about kids and counselors at an unusual summer camp, titled “Not a Happy Camper.” The theatre welcomes audition appointments, visits, donations of costumes and supplies, and all inquiries throughout the year. Acting classes, puppet shows, concerts, one-day free workshops, variety shows, and special family events are planned and a fundraising concert on July 20. For more details, show times, tickets, and contact information, go to www.PlayNicePeople. com.

NEIGHBORHOOD NEWSBEAT Activists Fear High-rises Could Cast Shadows On Botanic Gardens CROWN HEIGHTS — Crown Heights community activists are reportedly fighting to prevent the approval of several high-rise buildings that they say will cast shadows onto the nearby Brooklyn Botanic Garden and deprive plants of sunlight. Two buildings of at least 16 stories have been proposed for 40 Crown St. and 931 Carroll St., according to amNewYork. The developer, Cornell Realty Management, needs approval from the city because the area is zoned only for buildings up to six or seven stories. Another firm, the Continuum Company, has submitted a preliminary application for a development at 960
Franklin Ave. that would rise as high as 37 stories. A group known as The Movement to Protect the People is leading the effort against the developers, amNewYork said. “These shadows actually go past the garden and touch Prospect Park,” said Alicia Boyd, leader of the Movement. In addition, Elizabeth Reina-Longoria, a spokeswoman for the Botanic Garden, said, “BBG is strongly advocating to maintain the site’s current zoning — which now caps building height to six or seven stories — which was put in place, in part, to protect the garden’s conservatories from building shadows.”
Report: Brownsville Lacks Parks and Open Space BROWNSVILLE — The independent research and advocacy organization New Yorkers for Parks published a report that revealed there is not enough available parkland in Brownsville and the parks that do exist are in poor condition, City Limits reported. “Quality open spaces are important for all New Yorkers, but particularly in areas where parks are suffering from years of neglect,” said executive director of New Yorkers for Parks Lynn Kelley. Among the open space benchmarks looked at in the report were total amount of open space, tree canopy and ability to access. The study also looked at overall maintenance. Brownsville failed 10 out of 14 of these markers. An upcoming $30 million investment in Betsy Head Park and planned renovation of the recreation center will help the community and is a step in the right direction. During the planned work, however, access will be even worse for residents, the report said.
NYU Rents Administrative Space in MetroTech Campus METROTECH — New York University, whose Tandon Engineering School of Engineering is located at 6 MetroTech Center, has reportedly completed a 26,000-square-foot deal for more space at 1 MetroTech Center. The university will relocate several of its administrative support offices, now within its Greenwich Village campus, to the 22nd floor of 1 MetroTech, the Commercial Observer reported. “We have been planning for some time to find a new home for our IT administrative offices away from our core,” NYU spokesman John Beckman told the Commercial Observer in an email. “Since the merger with the former Polytechnic University [now Tandon School of Engineering], we have focused on Brooklyn as an excellent choice for an expanded NYU presence.” MetroTech, whose other tenants include the New York Fire Department, National Grid, MakerBot, ImpreMedia and TransCare Corporation, is owned by Forest City Ratner Corp.
HBO has given the green light to “Storm Over Brooklyn,” a documentary by filmmaker Muta’Ali that looks at the racially motivated murder of Yusuf Hawkins, a 16-year-old African American teen who was confronted by a group of white teens and shot to death on a Bensonhurst street corner on Aug. 23, 1989. The murder brought the long-simmering racial tensions that existed at the time in New York City to the surface. For nearly two years after the shocking crime, the Rev. Al Sharpton, the noted civil right leader, organized dozens of protest marches on 20th Avenue in Bensonhurst demanding justice in the name of Yusuf Hawkins and was often met by jeers from angry white residents. The film is set to air on HBO in 2019. Next year will also mark the 30th anniversary of the death of Yusuf Hawkins. If he were alive today, he would be 45 years old. ebrooklyn media/file photo
Tajik Restaurant in Sheepshead Bay Serves Traditional Central Asian Dishes SHEEPSHEAD BAY — It’s not easy to find the food of Tajikistan, one of the former Central Asian Soviet republics, but one place to do so is Cafe Dushanbe at 1788 Sheepshead Bay Road. According to The New York Times, it may be the only restaurant in New York that serves the traditional dish kurutob, made of shredded flatbread, salad and a dressing of kurut, salty sun-dried yogurt balls dissolved in hot water. Among the other dishes served there are samsa gizhda, small meat pies with a soft wrapping of dough; okroshka, a cool summer soup made with yogurt, radish, dill, a quail egg and cream; shashlik, similar to shishkebab; and morkovcha, julienne carrots seasoned with garlic, vinegar and kumin. Owner and chef Alidzhon Imanov and manager Aslam Abudullove are both natives of Tajikistan. The restaurant is half a block from Emmons Avenue, Sheepshead Bay’s main drag.
Donovan Proposes Legislation Amid Worries About VA Medical Center BAY RIDGE — Amid worries that the VA Medical Center in Brooklyn could close, leaving veterans in both Staten Island and Brooklyn stuck trekking to Manhattan for care, Rep. Daniel Donovan introduced legislation to make sure that veterans are notified of any closures or service cuts at medical centers nationwide, The Staten Island Advance reported. “A doctor’s office would never just cease service and not proactively contact their patients — it shouldn’t be any different at a VA facility,” Donovan said. The Veterans Awareness Act would require the Department of Veteran Affairs to give at least 60 days’ notice to both veterans and their local congressional representative before closing a location or making service cuts. It would also mandate that the department hold forums to allow veterans and other stakeholders to voice their opinions.
AIDS Services to Make Way For High-Rises in Boerum Hill BOERUM HILL — HIV-AIDS patients in Boerum Hill are criticizing city officials for not going public about their plans to close and relocate a health services center that stands in the way of a controversial high-rise development. The HIV-AIDS Services Administration center at 94 Flatbush Ave. occupies a parcel owned by Alloy Development, which hopes to build its five-building 80 Flatbush complex on the site. According to the Brooklyn Paper, officials, who rent the center’s space from Alloy, probably knew of the developer’s plan for at least a year but have yet to officially inform clients. “It’s deeply concerning for us, especially for an agency whose clients’ lives literally depend on accessing these services,” said Jason Walker, who works at the HIV advocacy group Vocal New York. The city plans to temporarily move the center’s operations to a nearby Third Avenue facility and then move it to a permanent home on Evergreen Avenue in Bushwick, a spokeswoman for the Human Resources Administration told the Brooklyn Paper.
Brownsville High School Teacher Takes Students on Trip of a Lifetime BROWNSVILLE — A Brownsville high school teacher was nominated for the Hometown Hero Award for giving his students the chance to experience cultures and life outside of their borough. Bijoun Eric Jordan, a Frederick Douglass Academy VII English teacher, has taught in city schools for 14 years, and he wants his pupils, mainly African-Americans and Hispanics from economically disadvantaged families, to travel the world because they may not have the funds to do so on their own. Jordan, 36, raised $42,000 last year for his students to travel to Spain, where they visited Madrid and Barcelona. This year, he plans on taking students from the “International Club” to Japan so they can explore Tokyo and Osaka. With the help of an online fundraiser, the teacher has raised $60,300, reaching the goal of $58,570 for the weeklong trip. “I want my students to see that black people travel everywhere,” Jordan said. “It’s not just places like Brownsville, Brooklyn, where we belong. We can hustle and get anywhere.”

The Gay/Straight Alliance of the New York State Courts System, or simply the Alliance, held an LGBTQ Pride event at the Supreme Court in Manhattan on Thursday that was broadcast across the state to 18 different courthouses via Skype. “TheAlliance is a pioneering organization, WKH ÂżUVW VWDWHZLGH /*%74 RUJDQL]DWLRQ LQ any state court system,â€? said Marc Levine, president of the Alliance. “The Alliance is dedicated to addressing the needs of LGBTQ people within the state courts. The Alliance has successfully advocated for representation by LGBTQ people among the administration of the courts, reaching out to LGBTQ people pursuing careers in the courts and providing support.â€? The event, which featured a speech by Gautam Raghavan, the LGBT acting White House liaison under former President Barack Obama, was meant as a way to connect the courthouses throughout the state in an attempt to grow the organization. “We want everyone to have a level SOD\LQJ ÂżHOG WKDWÂśV ZK\ ZHÂśUH KHUH ´ /HYLQH said. “We want to take things to the next level so today, with this event, our intention is to use this as a springboard for creating local chapters of the Alliance across the state.

The alliance was created by Levine in Brooklyn approximately 15 years ago as a response to the treatment that he and other LGBTQ courthouse employees faced. He remarked in his statements that the Alliance helped to usher in a much more welcoming and inclusive environment for court employees almost overnight. “When the Alliance happened and we started going to courts and holding

FAITH IN BROOKLYN
Prominent Family of Ministers Denounces Immigration Policy By Francesca Norsen Tate INBrooklyn
Faith communities around Brooklyn this week denounced the Trump administration’s zero-tolerance immigration policy over the past week, particularly what they declared as the cruel practice of separating children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border, and holding the children in detention centers with no organized plan of reuniting these families. And just after midnight on June 27, news broke that a federal judge in California had issued a nationwide injunction halting the child separation policy and mandating family reunification. Several hours later, Congress rejected a comprehensive immigration bill that has also divided the majority party. The Rev. Dr. Herbert and the Rev. Dr. Karen Daughtry, heads of a clergy family with five generations of faith leaders, and a Brooklyn presence for 60 years, held a press conference last Saturday, June 23 at the House of the Lord Church to decry the policy that they say has permanently traumatized children in ways that could later haunt this nation. “These children, ranging in age from under one year of age to teen years, have been put in a position of psychological
danger and are being used by those in high places as political pawns without regard to the damage being done by their actions to the psychological damages being visited upon these children,” said Dr. Karen Daughtry. “As a parent, although all of my children are adults, I can’t imagine not knowing how they are. As a citizen of these United States, I understand that protecting our borders is necessary and that guidelines to do so must be put in place but not at the expense of the most vulnerable in society. As an early childhood educator, I know that the early years beginning at birth and until around the age of four are most important, and immeasurable damage can be done to young children who suffer traumatic episodes during this period. Certainly to be torn from the arms of parents and taken to strange places with strange people fits the bill as one of these.” Much of Saturday’s press conference focused on the Daughtrys’ point that there has been no plan to handle the flow of immigrants across borders into the United States compassionately. “Even with the executive order stopping the separation practice, you’ve got 2,000 children — still someplace,” said
The Rev. Dr. Herbert Daughtry, presiding prelate of House of the Lord Church, addresses the news media. In background, left, his daughter, Sharon Daughtry, two anonymous congregants, and the Rev. Dr. Karen S. Daughtry (at right). INBrooklyn Photo by Francesca N. Tate Dr. Karen Daughtry. “The governor of the State of New York said he has a legal responsibility to take care of these children, physically and emotionally. And he — the governor — cannot find out how to get into the places where these children are because they have put a gag order on the places where the children have been put, in the State of New York! We might have a plan here in New York,
but there is no national or global plan to hook these children up with the people they belong to.” Dr. Herbert Daughtry, who spoke at length earlier in the conference, also expressed hope. “When all is said and done, I hope I live to see the day that America becomes what America can become,” he said. “The withering past is no match for the budding future.”
Grace Church’s Rector Points to ‘Fear of the Other’ As A Reason Behind Current Immigration Policy Episcopal Diocese Hosts Prayer Service For Immigrant and Refugee Families

The rector of Grace Church Brooklyn Heights addressed the child separation policy in his Sunday, June 24 sermon. The Rev. Dr. Allen Robinson linked the story of Jesus’ calming the storm (from Matthew 4:35-41) to the current immigration crisis, focusing on Jesus’ invitation to “go to the other side,” and the fear that the disciples experienced during the tempest. Robinson spoke of a societal ‘other side’ — “those who feel rejected, who feel abandoned, who feel forgotten, who feel as if their lives don’t matter, as if their lives just simply don’t matter,” Robinson emphasized. “At this very moment, the Gospel is alive and well — this story is alive and well — on the borders of Texas, the borders of California, the borders of Arizona, where children are being taken away from their
parents. And so the Gospel calls us to wrestle with the question: What are we supposed to do with those who are on the other side? “I submit that the apostles were afraid to go to the other side because they were comfortable at home,” he continued. “It was their comfort zone. The people they knew looked like them, smelled like them…They liked the same food, had the same culture. So what happens when a new group of people is introduced into the system? “Somehow, they began to take on a sense of fear, much like the way people at home worry that ‘we’re losing our identity, and we’re losing our position in the world, and somehow, we’re losing our way of life if we introduce a lot of new people to come in and enter our country.’ And so, what do we do with our fear?” he asked.
The Episcopal Diocese of Long Island, responding to the outpouring of love and concern for families separated at the border, was set to hold a prayer service and time of fellowship for immigrant and refugee families. The bilingual (Spanish/English) candlelit service in the cathedral was scheduled for 7:30-8 p.m., with conversation following in the undercroft from 8-9 p.m. Pastoral care and conversation
with experts in the field of immigration and asylum were provided. Among the actions being announced at the service is a series of Families Belong Together rallies being held this Saturday, June 30, in New York City (Brooklyn, Queens and Long Island), Washington, D.C. and around the country. The Brooklyn rally and march originates at Foley Square in Manhattan at 10 a.m. and heads across the Brooklyn Bridge.
Readers who find their faith enriched through the fine arts will be happy to learn that the Brooklyn Museum this week announced the re-installment of its acclaimed relief sculpture, “The Resurrection of Christ,” by Renaissance artist Giovanni della Robbia. “The Resurrection of Christ” is on view now in the museum’s third floor Focus Gallery. Created around 1520, “The Resurrection” was commissioned by the Antinori family, historical Tuscan vintners since 1385. At nearly 12 feet long, “The
Resurrection” originally adorned a wall of the Antinori family’s villa outside Florence, Italy. Nearly 400 years later, “The Resurrection” became the first Renaissance work to enter the museum’s collection when it was acquired in 1899. The colorful relief -- which was out of view from the late 1990s through an extensive restoration in 2015 -- went back on exhibit earlier this month. Funding this project was the same Antinori family whose ancestors originally commissioned the relief.

Senior Fair Provides Info and Fun BY ARIAMA LONG EDITORIAL@BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM
S
tate Senator Marty Golden’s 14th annual Senior Information Fair was held on Friday, June 22 at St. Anselm Catholic Academy—365 83rd St.—in Bay Ridge. The event featured about 25 city representatives, state agencies and nonprofits as well as local Senior Idol winner Tommy Anderson, who entertained the crowd with lively and nostalgic music. “It’s good for seniors to get updates and info because so much is online nowadays,” said the senator’s Deputy Chief of Staff and Press Secretary John Quaglione about the direct approach the fair takes to reach an older demographic. “What makes a community strong is when you keep them involved.” Hosted by Golden at his home parish this year, the event attracted an estimated 350 seniors who got to engage with city agencies and programs designed to enrich their lives. The chair of the Senate Aging Committee, Golden’s accomplishments include passage of the Assisted
State Senator Marty Golden addressing the group. Living Law of 2004, Granny’s Law to punish criminals who assault senior citizens, the Senior Bill of Rights and long term care reform. The senator made a presentation in which he updated the elder community on the state budget, ongoing legislation and community events. Among those who were on hand to share information with attendees, the Kingsborough Community College’s “My Turn Program” encouraged seniors
to take classes that could help shape a cool hobby or interesting pastime, and the Norwegian Christian Home and Health Center passed out information about its facilities for physical therapy and rehabilitation. Other tables set up at the fair offered services like Senior Citizen Rent Increase Exemption assistance and applications, legal advice, new sanitation guidelines, guidance for paying tax and water bills, and free blood pressure screenings.

CROSSWORD
June 28-July 4, 2018
♋ CANCER Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, it is important to support othersÕ goals and the steps they take to achieve them, even if you do not necessarily agree with their formula for success.
♌ LEO Jul 23/Aug 23 Happiness has less to do with what is happening in the world and more with your own perceptions, Leo. Keep this in mind as you move forward in life.
♍ VIRGO Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, challenges at work may be tiring you out. People may seem like they are all over the map instead of working together. Try to get everyone going in the same direction. LIBRA Ð Sept 23/Oct 23 Avoid going too far off in your own direction this week, Libra. Before making any rash decisions, take some time to ask questions and get answers. ♎ LIBRA Sept 23/Oct 23 People often see you as even-keeled, Libra. But tempers may flare this week if you don’t get your way. Others should watch when you’re fired up.
♏ SCORPIO Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, if something doesnÕt initially work to your liking, donÕt be shy about giving it another go. The challenges ahead will be worth it when you ultimately succeed. SAGITTARIUS Ð Nov 23/Dec 21 Your creativity and emotions are linked this week, Sagittarius. Pour your heart and efforts into a special project that reflects just how you are feeling.
♐ SAGITTARIUS Nov 23/Dec 21 You do not have an argumentative nature, Sagittarius. So when you’re bothered, it is probably for a good reason. Don’t come out ready for a fight; instead, focus on mediating. ♑ CAPRICORN Dec 22/Jan 20 Nothing in a current relationship is unfolding as you had expected, Capricorn. ThatÕs alright. This sense of adventure that keeps you guessing is a welcome change. ♒ AQUARIUS Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, working closely with others is one of your strong points. Disagreements on how to approach different projects can be tricky to navigate, but youÕre up to the task. ♓ PISCES Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, this week there may be little separation between your career and personal life. If that works for you, forget the naysayers.
♈ ARIES Mar 21/Apr 20 Opportunity is knocking, Aries, when everything is going your way, you are absolutely glowing. But if things donÕt come naturally to you, frustration may set in. Find a balance between the two.
♉ TAURUS Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, planning stages are over and now youÕre about to turn your goals into reality. Just be sure to adapt to the changing environment as things unfold..
♊ GEMINI May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you might be seeking ways to help others in need, but you do not have patience when things take longer than expected. Stick to the plan and see it through.

Condos Above Former Historic Brooklyn Heights Cinema Are Nearly Complete By Gordon Walker
Special to Brooklyn Heights Press
The three-story building located at 70 Henry St., directly above the former Brooklyn Heights Cinema, is a step closer to being completed. Kenn Lowry, owner of the movie theater, wanted to relocate and reopen it, but he was unable to find an affordable space. “For the money these landlords want, I’d have to run a meth lab, not a cinema,” he told the Daily News. The windows of the five condos are in and workers are closing up holes with drywall after finishing the electric wiring of the apartments. The white paint that coated the exterior of the building was removed for the first time in decades, and now displays the red brick from the original
landmarked 1895 building. Building over the original structure was controversial. Brooklyn Heights Association member Judy Stanton argued at a 2015 hearing that the addition would overwhelm the original building. The commissioners, on the other hand, found it “appropriate” and approved the addition later that year, according to Brownstoner. The condos, developed by Mettle Property Group, went on the market last year and are expected to be completed by the end of this year. The architect is Morris Adjmi, best known for designing Williamsburg’s Wythe Hotel.

Developer Confirms Revamp of Jehovah's Witnesses’ DUMBO Hotel at 90 Sands St. as Housing for Ex-Homeless By Lore Croghan
Brooklyn Heights Press
It’s official. The vacant DUMBO residential hotel the Jehovah’s Witnesses sold to Manhattan-based megalandlord RFR will be turned into permanent housing for formerly homeless people plus affordable apartments for low- and moderate-income tenants. The property is 90 Sands St., a 30-story tower that stands beside the Manhattan Bridge on the corner of Sands, Jay and High streets. The nonprofit developer that’s acquiring it from RFR is Breaking Ground, which has 28 years of experience in building and operating affordable and supportive housing. It has more than 1,000 units of housing under development and operates more than 3,500 units of housing in New York City, upstate New York and Connecticut. Last Wednesday night, Breaking Ground President and CEO Brenda Rosen spoke publicly about the planned makeover of the Watchtower property. “Our goal, our mission, is to help people come inside, to rebuild and restore their lives in supportive housing,” she said at a Community Board 2 Land Use Committee meeting, which was held at MetroTech in Downtown Brooklyn. Last week, the Brooklyn Heights Press was the first publication to report on the 90 Sands redevelopment project.
Breaking Ground doesn’t need to seek zoning changes for the as-of-right project, so there will not be a public review process for it. Rosen gave her presentation at the Community Board 2 meeting as a first step in letting area residents know about what’s next for 90 Sands St. Breaking Ground will set up a Community Advisory Board for the property, as it always does for its facilities, in an effort to get input from its neighbors. The 90 Sands St. tower is in a manufacturing zone. Breaking Ground hopes the city Buildings Department will grandfather in its residential use, said David Beer, the nonprofit’s vice president of real estate development, who joined Rosen in giving the Community Board 2 presentation. The tower served as housing for members of the Jehovah’s Witnesses from the time of its 1992 construction until they moved out in mid-2017.
Affordable-Housing Lottery for 202 Apartments
Breaking Ground plans to leave the layouts of the residential floors the way the Watchtower had set them up. So there will be 508 apartments, 82 percent of them studios and 18 percent of them onebedroom units, Rosen said. More than 300 of the studios will serve as apartments for formerly
homeless individuals. And 202 studios and one-bedroom apartments will be rented through an affordable-housing lottery to low-income and moderate-income tenants. The studios will be rented to individuals and the one-bedroom apartments will be for households with one or two people. The rents for these permanently affordable apartments will range from $492 per month for a studio for a tenant earning a maximum income of $21,930 per year to $1,955 per month for a two-person household with a maximum annual income of $83,500. About 1,000 square feet on 90 Sands St.’s ground floor will either be a community facility or commercial space. Breaking Ground is looking for community and arts organizations to use space on one of the building’s cellar levels. A nonprofit called the Center for Urban Community Services will provide onsite supportive services for tenants seven days a week. These will include case management, primary medical care, mental health services, employment readiness guidance and benefits counseling. There will be a big emphasis on employment, said Center for Urban Community Services President and CEO Tony Hannigan, who also spoke during the 90 Sands St. presentation.

Concord Village Residents’ Concerns
Numerous residents of Concord Village, a co-op complex located near 90 Sands St., attended the meeting to voice their concerns about the plans. Afterwards, about 20 of them gathered in a hallway outside the meeting room for an impromptu question-and-answer session with Rosen. Will the children of Concord Village be safe with so many formerly homeless people living nearby? Will the formerly homeless people hang around the area with nothing to do all day? were some of their questions. The answers: • It’s wrong to assume that supportive permanent housing facilities for formerly homeless people are unsafe. • Many residents of 90 Sands St. will get jobs and be busy working during the day. “I understand people’s
trepidation,” said City Councilmember Stephen Levin (D-DUMBO), who spoke to the group in the hallway. But, he said, “supportive housing is not the same as a shelter. It does not have the same impact on the community.” Levin said 90 Sands St. is an appropriate site for supportive housing. Breaking Ground operates a 217-unit Boerum Hill supportive housing facility for low-income tenants and formerly homeless people called the Schermerhorn, which is within Levin’s City Council district. He can’t recall getting a single complaint about the Schermerhorn in his 8½ years as a city councilmember, he said. He chairs the City Council’s Committee on General Welfare, which has jurisdiction over the city Department of Homeless Services. RFR Had Paid $135 Million for the Tower Breaking Ground has not yet closed on the purchase of 90 Sands St. After the Community Board 2 meeting, Rosen
declined to answer a question from the Heights Press about how much the building is going to cost. The seller, RFR, had initially planned to turn 90 Sands St. into a 600room hotel with former Studio 54 co-owner Ian Schrager, who rebuilt his lodging-industry career after going to prison for tax evasion. Schrager was later pardoned by President Barack Obama. RFR bought 90 Sands St. from the Watchtower for $135 million last year, city Finance Department records show. Kushner Cos. had planned to be a co-purchaser but ultimately chose not to be part of the transaction. The real estate firm was headed by Jared Kushner until he stepped aside to serve as a senior adviser to his father-in-law, President Donald Trump. The sale of 90 Sands St. was part of a yearslong campaign by the Jehovah’s Witnesses to liquidate their once-massive real estate holdings in DUMBO and Brooklyn Heights because they moved their world headquarters out of the area to upstate Warwick, N.Y.

NYPD’s Hunt, Condon Honored in Heights by Montague Street BID
84th Precinct Crime Figures ‘Looking Good’ With a Few Exceptions, Capt. Miller Reports By Mary Frost
Brooklyn Heights Press
The Montague Street Business Improvement District (BID) honored 84th Precinct Neighborhood Coordination Officers (NCOs) Donovan Hunt and John Condon at its annual membership meeting last Thursday for “the amazing job” they do on Montague Street. As NCOs for Brooklyn Heights and Cobble Hill, Hunt and Condon directly connect to local residents and businesses to solve problems. “It’s always been a gratifying thing to work with you guys and solve problems in the community,” Officer Hunt said. “When you call us, it doesn’t necessarily have to end with the arrest of somebody. We’ll connect you with another agency to get the problem solved that way. Don’t hesitate to call us.” Officer Condon has worked in the area for

years. “The residents, the shop owners, the BID — it’s been a great experience,” he said. While crime figures in the 84th Precinct are “looking good,” Captain
Tyrice Miller reported, the precinct has seen an uptick in grand larceny of unattended articles and identity theft. The precinct has also seen a spike in “mailbox fishing” in Downtown Brooklyn
and Brooklyn Heights. The NYPD is working with the U.S. Postal Service to install new slots in mailboxes to prevent thieves from fishing out checks. Miller also reported that
patrols of Brooklyn Bridge Park and Montague Street have been increased to three sergeants and 24 cops “for the safety of park-goers and residents” this summer season. A patrol car has been
Continued from page 2 With two branches in Brooklyn and six in Queens, The First National Bank of Long Island has become well established in New York City from its roots in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. “Our first branches were in Nassau County,” Vittorio recounted. “Then we moved into Suffolk. Then we saw so much opportunity here, in terms of critical mass.” “There are two kinds of people — those that
live in Brooklyn and those that wish they did,” interjected Brooklyn Borough Hall Deputy Strategist Rachel Atcheson, quoting one of Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams’ favorite taglines. “They say that one in eight people have roots here in Brooklyn,” added acting Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce President Rick Russo. “One in eight — that’s some 40 million people,” Vittorio said, demonstrating the banker’s trade-
mark facility with numbers. “When you think about all of the personalities that originate here ...” “Our goal is eventually 10 to 15 branches in Brooklyn,” Perro said. Furnished with dark wood paneling, gold wallpaper and a brick fireplace, the Cobble Hill branch’s aura is both traditional and inviting. One hardly notices the derigueur bulletproof glass covering the tellers’ booths. “We were looking for
an inviting appearance,” Branch Manager Wilona Chambers explained. “We wanted people to feel at home when they come in,” Assistant Manager Julio Acosta added. “People want to know their banker, and feel that their banker knows them,” Vittorio said. Located at 227 Smith St. between Douglas and Butler streets, the Cobble Hill branch is open Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Friday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.; and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
