ROSE DEFENDS IMPEACHMENT STAND AT TOWN HALL

It was supposed to be a town hall on transit issues in Southwest Brooklyn, but U.S. Rep. Max Rose spent a great deal of time Friday night talking about his decision to support an impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump. Calling impeachment “a tragic day for the U.S.A.,” Rose said the nation faces an incredibly serious question on the issue of whether Trump sought to withhold military aid from Ukraine in exchange for that country investigating his potential Democratic opponent Joe Biden.

NEW SCHOOL COMING TO RIDGE

The New York City School Construction Authority plans to build a 330-seat elementary school, at 6740 Third Ave. in Bay Ridge, according to Councilmember Justin Brannan, who worked with the agency to hunt for sites for a new school. District 20, which covers schools in Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights and parts of Bensonhurst, Borough Park and Sunset Park, is among the most overcrowded in the city, according to local officials, who told the Home Reporter earlier this year that there is a shortfall of nearly 11,000 seats. For more on this story, see page 8.

LESKE’S SHUTTERED SUDDENLY

Beloved Scandinavian bakery Leske’s has closed, though it’s not clear exactly what led to the abrupt closure of the iconic neighborhood bakery. An official notice from the New York City marshal, dated Oct. 4, was posted on the front door of Leske’s at 7612 Fifth Ave. informing the public that the building’s landlord, Insphere Corp., had “taken legal possession of these premises pursuant to warrant of the Civil Court.” For more on this story, see page 9.

NYS MAKING IT EASIER TO GET SCREENED FOR CANCER, OFFICIAL SAYS

‘Dyker Lights’ vendors causing pollution, traffic and trash, neighbors say

A massive Dyker Heights holiday display.

Firefighters had to abandon their truck and walk to the site of a 911 call. A resident with asthma was choked by the fumes of an idle ice cream truck. These were just two of the stories told Thursday as the City Council’s Consumer Affairs Committee heard testimony on the notorious Dyker Lights holiday display and a bill that would ban vendors from clogging up the annual end-of-year affair. The legislation — introduced this summer by Councilmember Justin Brannan, who represents the area and is a member of the committee — seeks to ban food trucks, souvenir sellers and other types of vendors from operating between 10th Avenue

and 13th Avenue, from 81st Street to 86th Street, the heart of holiday-light country. Since the late 1980s, those from neighboring communities have made the trek by foot, bike, subway and car to Dyker Heights to marvel at the displays, many exhibited as early as Thanksgiving weekend. Today, spectators travel from other states and countries to the neighborhood The New York Times has called the “undisputed capital of Christmas pageantry” — a number of them using organized bus tours that have only grown in popularity since the famed lights first made headlines. “Local residents who for so many years have loved viewing the Christmas light displays now feel completely overwhelmed by these tour buses that bring hundreds of thou-

Barbara Vellucci, Lori Willis and Josephine Beckmann. sands of tourists and a parade of ice cream trucks and street vendors that combine to cause a traffic congestion Christmas nightmare,” Brannan said Thursday. “This creates a monthlong street festival-like atmosphere in this quaint residential neighborhood.” Local residents for the most part welcome the tourists, but are unhappy with the congestion they bring and the litter they leave behind, according to Brannan, who said he drafted the vendor ban bill after hearing complaints from constituents. “Just imagine the joy of a 40-day ‘unofficial’ street festival happening outside your door on a quiet tree-lined block or the noise and fumes from an idling ice cream truck for 10 hours a day — not exactly the Norman Rockwell Christmas of your dreams,” he said. The committee said that more than 150,000 visitors are expected to attend this year. And if local residents can’t get a cap on the chartered tour buses, they say the city can at

least put an end to the vending. Aside from prohibiting vendors, the bill would also help the community manage the event, supporters said. “It must be understood that this is an organic event, occurring as a result of homeowners expressing their faith and joy for the season, that has turned into a full-blown New York City event,” said Community Board 10 member Barbara Vellucci, who shared testimony from Dyker Heights Civic Association President Fran Vella-Marrone. “However, because the city does not recognize Dyker Lights as an [official] event under the permit process, it has become more and more difficult to manage.” Brannan’s bill would allow responding city agencies to properly police the process, he said, explaining that when a resident thinks a food vendor might be breaking the law, so many different agencies respond that it’s hard to figure out which laws, if any, the vendor is breaking — and who can

enforce them. The bill, Brannan said, would make clear that previously “gray area.” It would also help curb other hazardous situations, like those recounted at the hearing by leaders of CB10. “The vendors idle in front of homes for 12 hours per day for the 40-day duration,” CB10 District Manager Josephine Beckmann said, stressing that trucks with generators create “chokepoints” that force pedestrians into the streets and block cars from getting through. “One resident submitted a video to our office of the Fire Department, who had to walk to a call because they could not get through the intersection.” CB10 Chair Lori Willis echoed Beckmann. “The trucks run until whatever time the viewers leave,” she said. “I had a very disturbing account from a resident who has asthma who could not escape the fumes. He said ‘I have no where else to go, I am in my own home choking.’” Councilmember Rafael Espinal, who chairs the committee,

said that while he admires the “entrepreneurial spirit” of street vendors (they are crucial to the city, he said), something must be done to help Dyker Heights residents reclaim some sense of normalcy throughout the holidays. Brannan agreed. “Look, it’s fantastic that hundreds of thousands of tourists want to come see Dyker Heights but at what cost to the residents who live in this great, quiet, and tightknit neighborhood 365 days a year? It is completely unfair to them,” he said. “This bill will make sure 2019 is different.” The committee will likely vote on the bill before the end of the month, the councilman told the Brooklyn Eagle, with a full vote on the council floor to follow. Brannan and other committee members said they hope to move the process along quickly enough to enact the ban by the start of the new Dyker Lights season. — Additional reporting by Paula Katinas

Holy Angels art center named for beloved teacher Mary Brannan

Mary Immaculata Brannan has devoted 40 years to teaching, so it’s especially fitting that Holy Angels Catholic Academy (formerly Our Lady of Angels) has named the school’s new art center in her honor. Miss Mary, as her students call her, or Maki as she’s known by close friends and family, has been a kindergarten teacher in Bay Ridge since 1984, and was responsible for founding the school’s pre-K program in 1990. In fact, to this day, neighborhood parents say that they specifically enrolled their children at Holy Angels just so they could be in Brannan’s class. “Mary Brannan is someone who is very trusted and valued in our school and community,” Holy Angels Catholic Academy Principal Russell Berry told this paper. “It is an honor to have her be a part of our building for as long as it stands.”

Brannan, along with her daughter-in-law Leigh Holliday Brannan, also teaches children at the Art Room at 8710 Third Avenue. “Her love of art and innate creativity and experience teaching art to our young artists from the day we opened the Art Room is a true asset to our program and curriculum.” said Leigh Brannan. And no one is prouder of Brannan’s accomplishments than her son, City Councilmember Justin Brannan. “There are two things that have been a constant in my life since I was a kid: one is my mom being a teacher at Holy Angels and the other is art,” Justin Brannan told this paper. He continued, “My mom is easily the most humble person I’ve ever known so it is nice to see her being recognized for her hard work and dedication to generations of children in Bay Ridge. I thank Principal Berry and all of my mom’s friends and colleagues at Holy Angels Catholic Academy for this very special honor for my mom.”

U.S. Rep. Rose defends his stand on impeachment at town hall BY PAULA KATINAS

PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

It was supposed to be a town hall on transit issues in Southwest Brooklyn, but U.S. Rep. Max Rose spent a great deal of time Friday night talking about his decision to support an impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump. “This president brought this on himself. He has no one else to blame,” Rose told residents attending his town hall on transportation at Il Centro, the Italian-American community center in Bath Beach. Calling impeachment “a tragic day for the U.S.A.,” Rose said the nation faces an

incredibly serious question on the issue of whether Trump sought to withhold military aid from Ukraine in exchange for that country investigating his potential Democratic opponent Joe Biden. Rose, a Democrat representing Southwest Brooklyn and Staten Island, was elected in 2018 in New York’s 11th Congressional District, a district that the Republican Trump carried by 9.8 percent over Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016. Rose had been one of the last Democratic holdouts on the issue of an impeachment inquiry, but announced his support for the probe on Oct. 2.

“We have to show the American people no one is above the law. We also have to engage the American people,” said Rose, who acknowledged that House Democrats will have to work to convince the American public that the inquiry will be a serious factfinding mission and not a partisan exercise. “I swore an oath to the Constitution, not to politics,” Rose said. “This investigation is moving forward in a perfectly constitutional manner.” But with the Ukraine situation, “we’re dealing with something unprecedented,” the freshman lawmaker said.

Bay Ridge residents wanted Malliotakis fires aide arrested a solution to lawless drivers: All they got was yellow paint in alleged betting scheme BY PAULA KATINAS

PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

Assemblymember Nicole Malliotakis said she moved swiftly to fire a newly hired aide after the employee was arrested Thursday for allegedly being part of a shocking mob-related scheme on Staten Island involving fixing college basketball games. The aide, Benjamin Bifalco, 25, of Staten Island, had worked for Malliotakis for less than three weeks. He was among 20 defendants named in a federal indictment announced by Richard Donoghue, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York. Bifalco

was indicted on a charge of attempted sports bribery. Malliotakis, a Republican who represents parts of Bay Ridge and Staten Island, said Bifalco had been hired on Sept. 16 to work in her Staten Island office and that she gave him the boot as soon as she learned of his arrest. “Thursday afternoon, I was informed that a new member of my Assembly staff, who was just hired on September 16, 2019, was indicted by the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York. He was active in local politics, planning to apply to law school and was recommended to me by a number of people. I am

shocked and saddened by this news,” Malliotakis told the Home Reporter in an email on Friday. “I have zero tolerance for criminal activity and he was dismissed from my staff effective Thursday, Oct 3, 2019,” Malliotakis added. Bifalco was caught on wiretaps allegedly filling in a co-defendant on a scheme to pay members of a Division I college basketball team thousands of dollars to lose a game intentionally, according to Donoghue. The basketball team was not named in the indictment. The Staten Island Advance was the first to report on the aide’s arrest.

“You think a little paint is going to make everyone safer?” At night, a four-block stretch of 86th Street becomes a track for drag racers and stunt drivers pulling donuts. Locals demanded the Department of Transportation reconfigure the roadway to make that impossible. What they got was yellow paint. Officials say the project — which includes the installation of painted center medians, speed cushions and a bike lane in each direction from Shore Road to Third Avenue — was first introduced years ago, and was repeatedly sent back to the DOT

by the local community board and area reps with suggestions. As work gets underway, neighbors and elected officials are calling it a non-solution. Councilmember Justin Brannan, who slammed the city agency on Twitter on Tuesday for similar painted medians near Poly Prep, said he was hoping for a design mirroring Manhattan’s Park Avenue, which features concrete pedestrian islands and plantings. A representative for DOT said the same design, when implemented in other areas throughout the city, has led to reductions in speeding and injuries. Part of the problem with this solution, according to Brannan, is that one-size-fitsall approach. Putting night-

time stunt driving in the same category as typical speeding prevented them from considering more tailored solutions. Daus, the 86th Street resident, said the offense of the bad solution is compounded by the lack of notice given to residents. “The city has no problem letting people know when they owe money, but we don’t even get to know what’s happening on our own street,” he argued. “Frankly, I don’t know what to think of the work, but what I do know is that everyone is out on their stoops wondering what the hell is going on.” “Is this plan better than nothing? Sure,” Brannan said. “But why are we being forced to settle for ‘better than nothing?’”

EDITORIAL @BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM

ebrooklyn media/Photos by Todd Maisel

A woman was struck and killed on Wednesday, Oct. 2 by a Manhattan-bound D train at Bay Parkway and 86th Street, police said. The incident is being investigated as a possible suicide; police believe there was no criminality involved. The identity and age of the victim were not immediately known, police said. The incident occurred at 8:47 a.m. during the morning

rush hour at the elevated station. Witnesses say they believe the woman jumped in front of the train as it pulled into the station. She was killed instantly. Because of the openness of the station, the street below had to be washed down by firefighters in the aftermath of the incident.

One of the three suspects wanted in a Bay Ridge home invasion in which one man dressed up as a Fed-Ex employee and another as a cop tied up three people inside the house, and stole cash and jewelry worth over $100,000, was arrested by cops on Oct. 8. According to the NYPD, 53-year-old Santiago Mateo of Manhattan was arrested and charged with robbery, burglary, unlawful imprisonment and criminal impersonation of an officer in the startling Sept. 23 home invasion at Ovington and Sixth avenues. The crime received a great deal of attention online, with footage from surveillance cameras posted on Reddit that showed a man dressed in a Fed-Ex uniform approach the home with a package in hand, ringing the bell. In the same video, another man, dressed as a police officer, also went inside the home, holding a badge and told the victims, “Police! Don’t move!” Once inside, the video shows the intruders tying up the three suspects with duct tape, finding a safe and yelling at one of the victims to open it before stealing $45,000 in cash, $65,000 in diamond rings and from the register on Sept. 30. Reports claim that at around 11:55 a.m., the burglar broke in through the rear door and stole $350 before fleeing the scene. No arrests have been made.

$15,000 diamond earrings. The video also shows the suspect dressed as a cop grabbing the safe, which he found in a hall closet on the second floor. The suspects fled in a blue sport utility vehicle driven by a third unidentified individual. A source with knowledge of the investigation who spoke on condition of anonymity had told this paper shortly after the

burglary that the home invasion, “was an inside job. It was not a random crime. Restaurant owners who kept a ton of cash and jewelry in their home. The burglars knew that.” The source also added that “cops are confident they’ll catch [the perpetrators] soon.” “The NYPD really did a tremendous job here,” Councilmember Justin Brannan told this paper. “Everyone saw there

was clear video of the crime but because the footage was shared so widely all over national media, the suspects went into deep hiding — so this was not an easy arrest by any means. From the Detective Bureau, to the field intelligence officers and to the local patrol cops, this was an all-hands-on-deck effort. Great job all around.” The investigation remains ongoing.

New elementary school to be built on Third Avenue BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

istrict 20 is getting a new elementary school, a local lawmaker revealed. Councilmember Justin Brannan told the Home Reporter that the New York City School Construction Authority plans to build a 330-seat elementary school, at 6740 Third Ave. in Bay Ridge. District 20 covers schools in Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights and parts of Bensonhurst, Borough Park, Sunset Park and Flatbush. The district is among the most overcrowded in the city, according to local officials, who told the Home Reporter earlier this year that there is a shortfall of nearly 11,000 seats. “District 20 is indisputably one of the best school districts in the entire city. It is also the largest school district in all of Brooklyn and one of the most overcrowded in the entire city,

It was a vow he made when he first ran for his City Council seat in 2017, he said. “During the campaign, we didn’t make many promises but we did promise to break ground on at least one new school in my first four years. This will be number two,” Brannan said. Additional reporting by Meaghan McGoldrick.

EARLY NOTICE OF A PROPOSED ACTIVITY IN A 100-YEAR FLOODPLAIN CANARSIE PIER ACCESS IMPROVEMENT PROJECT BROOKLY, KINGS COUNTY, NEW YORK OCTOBER 11, 2019 To: All interested Agencies, Groups, and Individuals This is to give notice that the Governor’s Office of Storm Recovery (GOSR), an office of the New York State Housing Trust Fund Corporation (HTFC), has received an application from the City of New York to use Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funding from the NY Rising Community Reconstruction Program to implement the proposed Canarsie Pier Access Improvement Project in Brooklyn, New York (hereinafter, the “Proposed Activity”) and is conducting an evaluation as required by Executive Order 11988 and Executive Order 11990 in accordance with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations (24 CFR Part 55).

so building new schools here is a big priority for me. ” Brannan, a Democrat representing Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights and parts of Bensonhurst, called the new school “a big win for our community” and said it was also a big victory for “our kids who deserve nothing less than a worldclass public education from day one.” The site at 6740 Third Ave. is located in the northern end of Bay Ridge. The elementary school would be the second school slated to be constructed in the near future in District 20. In February, it was announced that the SCA will be building a 550-seat middle school at 650 86th St., the former site of a Nathan’s Famous drivethrough restaurant. Adele Doyle, president of the Community Education Council of School District 20, said the CEC is pleased the district will be getting

There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, to provide the public an opportunity to express their concerns and share information about the Proposed Activity, including alternative locations outside of the floodplain and wetlands. Second, adequate public notice is an important public education tool. The dissemination of information about floodplains and wetlands facilitates and enhances governmental efforts to reduce the risks associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the government determines it will participate in actions taking place in floodplains or wetlands, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk. Funding for the Proposed Activity will be provided by the HUD CDBG-DR program for storm recovery activities in New York State. The Proposed Activity includes improvements to the pedestrian and bicycle access along Rockaway Parkway and Shore Parkway. The project includes tree removal and planting. Any shrubbery, debris, fences, and other encroachments found on and within the city's right of way that interfere with the new work will be removed. As a result of curb relocation, existing street appurtenances projecting above paved surfaces, such as hydrants, lampposts and traffic signal poles, bus shelters, etc., will have to be relocated. Portions of the existing sidewalks will be widened and narrowed and associated curb reconstructed. Sidewalk pedestrian ramps will be embedded with preformed detectable warning units at all corners. At all proposed bus stop pads, new continuous sidewalk will be constructed for the entire length of the bus pad, from the curb line to the property line/fence line. 20.00 5.00

The grass and tree covered area within the project area will be graded and seeded. There will be no increase in impermeable surfaces The majority of the Proposed Activity is located within Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) Zone AE (areas within the one percent annual chance of flood). The Proposed Activity would result in temporary impacts approximately 1-acre of the 100-year floodplain during construction. Other than tree planting activities, all other construction activities will take place in areas with existing asphalt and concrete cover. Once construction is completed, the function of the floodplain would remain unaltered by the Proposed Activity. Thus, the Proposed Activity would not result in any permanent impacts to the floodplain. Floodplain maps based on the FEMA Base Flood Elevation Maps have been prepared and are available for review with additional information at http://www.stormrecovery.ny.gov/environmental-docs.

Open Mon.- Fri.-9:30-5. Call for Sat. Hours - Same Location For Over 49 Years

News From Your Neighborhood CATHOLICS PROTEST SNUB OF ST. FRANCES CABRINI

The massive Times Square-style advertising barge that popped up in New York’s waterways last October will no longer operate in the state, according to a settlement reached on Monday between the city and the company responsible for operating the boat. The announcement, first reported by the New York Post, ends a roughly seven-month legal battle between the city’s Law Department and Ballyhoo Media. For the full story, visit brooklyneagle.com.

CITYWIDE — Even though St. Frances Cabrini, also known as “Mother Cabrini,” was passed over when First Lady Chirlane McCray chose subjects for her “She Built NYC” statue program, more than 1,000 parishioners packed a Brooklyn church on Sunday to honor the Italian immigrant saint. Cabrini, who founded 67 institutions to help the needy, finished first in a citywide poll asking who should get a statue, but McCray and former Deputy Mayor Alicia Glen decided to honor seven other women, the best known of whom is the late jazz singer Billie Holiday. The pro-Cabrini Mass took place at Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary and St. Stephen Church on President Street. Many Catholics criticized McCray, who later insisted she wasn’t anti-Catholic, and actor Chazz Palminteri accused McCray of being racist. 

PARK SLOPE — Assemblymember Robert Carroll (D-Park Slope-Windsor Terrace-Kensington) recently noted that October marks Dyslexia Awareness Month. Last year, Carroll started a petition calling on the state to fund universal dyslexia screening for all kindergarten, first-grade and second-grade students, according to Kings County Politics. “A disproportionate amount of the over 50 percent of students who aren’t reading at grade level are dyslexic,” said Carroll in a statement. “Our literacy problem touches all types of students and stems from improper curriculum and a lack of screening of students for phonological awareness issues.” 

DRIVER WHO KILLED CHILD NEVER APPLIED FOR LICENSE, SAY PROSECUTORS

KENSINGTON — A driver who struck and killed a 10-year-old boy who was riding a bike in Kensington on Saturday has never applied for a driver’s license, prosecutors said. Victor Mejia was making a left turn off Seton Place onto Foster Avenue in a 2002 Ford Explorer when he struck young Dalerjon Shakhobiddinov, the Daily News said. As the Eagle previously reported, Mejia was granted a supervised release Sunday during his arraignment in Brooklyn Criminal Court on charges of unlicensed driving, failure to yield and failure to exercise due care.

BAZAAR CLOSES IN GREENPOINT

GREENPOINT — Brooklyn Night Bazaar is closing its Greenpoint location before the end of November because of conflicts with its landlord over a new lease agreement, according to the Brooklyn Paper.

GOWANUS — An oil tanker truck spilled thousands of gallons of oil at Warren Street and Fourth Avenue on Saturday afternoon after smashing into a cement barrier, according to the Brooklyn Paper. Troy Gilberti, who saw the incident first-hand, told the Brooklyn Paper, “It was like a waterfall.” Firefighters closed off the surrounding blocks and used vacuums to collect the spilled oil, although some of it found its way into nearby sewers.

Spoke the Hub Dancing, which first opened in Park Slope in 1979, is partnering with Koko NYC, a kids’ program, to open a new dance and art studio called the Gowanus Arts Annex. The new studio needs extensive renovations before it can open. Spoke the Hub founder Elise Long started a GoFundMe account to raise the $150,000 for its needed upgrades. “This new Brooklyn arts center will house two of Brooklyn’s oldest, finest and most innovative not-for-profit community dance and arts organizations, in addition to the studios of artist Ben Lai,” Long wrote. 

BURGERS ARE A HIT AT RED HOOK TAVERN

Bill Durney, the man behind Hometown Bar-B-Que in Red Hook, recently opened a new restaurant known as the Red Hook Tavern. While the tavern was designed as a fried chicken emporium, its main attraction turned out to be a cheeseburger, according to The New York Times. The burger is a “pub burger,” a type of burger served in many traditional bars and restaurants such as P.J. Clarke’s, Fanelli’s and Peter Luger. According to the Times, the hallmarks of a pub burger are a thicker-than-average patty and “a relative lack of adornment.” Durney has said he designed his Red Hook Tavern burger as an homage to the one served at Peter Luger. 

LANDLORD, SON ACCUSED OF BEATING, INSULTING TENANT

SHEEPSHEAD BAY — An elderly Brooklyn landlord is accused of breaking into a tenant’s apartment, beating her with a cane and calling her the “N-word,” according to the Daily News. The landlord, identified as Eugene Simonetti, hasn’t been charged yet because he was hospitalized with a possible stroke after the confrontation. Simonetti and his son, Rocco Simonetti, went to the victim’s apartment on Voorhees Avenue at East 23rd Street in Sheepshead Bay on Sunday, prosecutors said. The elder Simonetti removed the hinges from the tenant’s door, yelled a racial epithet in front of her children and then started beating her with a cane while the younger Simonetti started punching her, prosecutors claim. However, Simonetti’s lawyer, Nicole Mull, said the victim, identified in court papers as Veronica Cochran, grabbed the 87-year-old landlord’s cane and started beating him. Eugene Simonetti was charged with burglary, assault and child endangerment, the Daily News said.

Brooklyn-based artist designs new jerseys for Brooklyn Nets BY JAIME DEJESUS JDEJESUS@BROOKLYNREPORTER. COM

The Nets are making a statement with their new jerseys. Brooklyn artist Eric Haze designed the team’s 2019-20 statement edition uniform by Nike in concrete gray which features hand-drawn letters spelling “BKLYN” across the chest, as well as Haze’s signature stars running down the jersey’s left side, as a contemporary twist on one of the team’s most iconic throwback looks. Haze also played a role in the creation of last year’s popular Nets statement jersey, which paid tribute to the Notorious B.I.G. via a customized *BED-STUY* mark for each player on the bottom of the uniform. Haze, who has been an artist for 40 years, told this paper how he got involved in the organization.

“The professional working relationship started last year when the Nets and NBA commissioned me to do a spot graphic on the Biggie Small homage city jersey from last season,” he said. “Then, about a week after delivering that work, they circled back to me and said they were really happy with that initial graphic and that they wanted to take it Photos courtesy of the Brooklyn Nets to the next level and have me actually work on an on-court Players donned the jerseys for the first time at Practice jersey, which of course was at the Park in Brooklyn Bridge Park. an opportunity of a lifetime for me.” was created organically by in the Park in Brooklyn Bridge The design process was an hand.

Arcade brings virtual reality to Bensonhurst BY JAIME DEJESUS

JDEJESUS@BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM

There’s a new game in town. Over the years, arcades have mostly become places of the past, where kids from the ‘80s and ‘90s fed quarters into their favorite arcade games. Whether it be Ms. Pac-Man, Street Fighter or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, arcades offered friends the opportunity to get together to experience competition and a gaming experience they couldn’t get at home. With leaps in technology for home consoles and computers, many arcades have shut their doors, leaving a void. Now, however, the emergence of virtual reality (VR), a technology that requires relatively expensive and cumbersome headsets, has breathed new life into arcades. Enter Futuristic VR, 6604 18th Ave., Bensonhurst’s first virtual reality arcade. Owned by a local family, the arcade, which opened on July 1, provides tons of VR experiences using the PC-powered HTC VIVE PRO Headsets. Owner Elona Lopari discussed the inspiration behind bringing a VR arcade to Bensonhurst and hopefully making it a family destination for years to come. “We’ve actually lived in the area for the last 15 years and we had always struggled with finding things to do around Bensonhurst, so we’ve been using VR in our home for years

The virtual reality experience can now be enjoyed in Bensonhurst. now and it always brought us together as a family,” she explained. “We thought, why don’t we bring the same kind of idea down to our neighborhood?” she explained. “The idea was always around bringing people together and creating an environment where they could come in, just have fun and connect with their friends and families,” Lopari said. The arcade also provides an educational component: students on class trips can virtually dissect a frog, for example, Lopari said, adding that customers have to experience VR to understand it. “You can’t really describe it to them. That’s why we try to get them on the headset so then it speaks for itself. The response, once they finally put it on is, ‘Woah this is so cool.’” Futuristic VR is open Monday through Friday from 1-9 p.m., Saturday, 11 a.m.-10 p.m. and Sunday, 12-8 p.m. For more information or to book a station, visit www.futuristicvrworld.com.

FIAO honors Brooklyn Columbus Day Parade grand marshals at 38th annual brunch BY JOHN ALEXANDER JALEXANDER@BROOKLYNEAGLE. COM

Christopher Columbus would be proud of the FIAO! The Federation of Italian American Organizations kicked off its annual Brooklyn Columbus Day Parade, which will take place on Saturday, Oct. 12 and run along 18th Avenue in Bensonhurst, with a festive brunch at which its grand marshals were honored. The event, held at Sirico’s, 8023 13th Ave., on Sunday, Oct. 6, honored this year’s grand marshals: Francesco Genuardi, consul general of Italy in New York; Dr. Salvatore Cumella, executive vice president Lenco Diagnostic Laboratory and president and CEO of Cumella Professional Services; Capt. Anthony Longobardi, commanding officer of the 62nd Precinct; Robert Ciulla, principal at Dyker Heights Intermediate School; and Denise Daniello, director of admissions and community liaison at the Bensonhurst Center for Rehabilitation. Brooklyn Columbus Day Parade Committee Executive Chairperson Jack Spatola served as master of ceremonies for the brunch. President of FIAO and brunch chairperson Carlo Scissura said he was delighted with the multicultural aspect of the parade and the caliber of grand marshals selected this year, who were all chosen based on their exceptional service to the community. “I think it’s an opportunity to celebrate the Italian culture, celebrate the community, celebrate the fact that our Columbus Day Parade includes all different ethnic groups and religious groups and people from across the communities,” Scissura told this paper.

Grand Marshals Francesco Genuardi, Capt. Anthony Longobardi, Denise Daniello and Dr. Salvatore Cumella. “And we’ve highlighted some amazing people that are serving as grand marshals this year. We’re just excited about a great day on Saturday when the parade comes alive and everyone comes together,” added Scissura. One of the topics discussed at the brunch was the refusal of the city to honor Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini with a statue for her many contributions to the city.

“The Italian-American community has contributed so much to our city and state, and in particular the contributions of Mother Cabrini should be recognized in the form of a statue and I’m an advocate of that,” Assemblymember Nicole Malliotakis told this paper. “And just like we were successful in preserving and landmarking the Christopher Columbus statue in New York

Welcome to Cypress Hills Cemetery, a fine place for a fall stroll.

INBrooklyn photo by Lore Croghan

By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn

Halloween is coming. What a perfect time for a walk in a Brooklyn graveyard. Why not visit the one where American icon Jackie Robinson was laid to rest? Robinson, who broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball in the 1940s when he played for the Brooklyn Dodgers, is buried at Cypress Hills Cemetery. His grave can be found high up on a hill of the historic cemetery. When I was there a few days ago, his admirers had left a stack of baseballs and three baseball bats in front of his headstone. Robinson, who died in 1972, spent a lifetime fighting for racial equality on and off the baseball field. After his retirement from the sport, he became the first African American to work as a vice president of a big American company and also the first African American to work as a Major League Baseball commentator, History.com says. “A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives,” is the inspirational message engraved on his tombstone.

There’s high-profile Green-Wood Cemetery in Greenwood Heights, where the celebrity graves include those of Neo-Expressionist artist Jean-Michel Basquiat and composer Leonard Bernstein. If you really want to get into the mood for Halloween, Green-Wood offers night-time tours. And there’s the Evergreens Cemetery in Bushwick, where tap dancer Bill “Bojangles” Robinson and many victims of the

Triangle Shirtwaist Fire are buried. Non-sectarian Cypress Hills Cemetery, which was established in 1848, is situated on 225 acres of hilly terrain. Its front entrance is at 833 Jamaica Ave. It is open every day of the year. If you don’t live in the neighborhood, ride the J train to the Cypress Hills Station to get to the graveyard.

Take a stroll around Cypress Hills Cemetery — Continued from page 16INB — Before you start your stroll, go to the cemetery office and ask for a map that shows notable burials. It’s different from the map that’s online.

AN UNDERGROUND RAILROAD CONDUCTOR AND AMERICA’S FIRST BLACK FEMALE LAWYER The graveyard’s winding, scenic roadways can lead you in lots of different directions. The path I took on my recent stroll led me to a monument for Rev. Charles Ray and his daughter Charlotte Ray. The clergyman was also a journalist and an Underground Railroad conductor. His mother was a fugitive slave and his father was a free black man, author Tom Calarco says in “People of the Underground Railroad: A Biographical Dictionary.” Between 1840 and 1853, Ray was the secretary of an anti-slavery organization called the New York Committee of Vigilance. During those years, he helped more than 1,700 slaves escape to freedom, and helped an unknown number of fugitives after that, Calarco writes. The minister’s daughter Charlotte Ray was the first black woman in the United States to become a lawyer. She used her initials instead of her full name to disguise her gender when she applied to Howard University’s law school. She graduated with a law degree in 1872 and was admitted to the bar in Washington, D.C. that same year, a posting on the website BlackPast says. She opened her own law firm. In 1875, Ray went to court seeking a divorce for a woman whose violent, drunken husband had chopped a hole in their home’s wood floor and threatened to push her through it, a posting on History.com says. Divorce was rare in that era, but Ray won the case. Because of racial and gender bias, Ray couldn’t get enough clients to keep her law firm open. She moved to New York City in 1879 and became a schoolteacher in Brooklyn.

EARLY RESIDENTS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD After paying my respects to the Rev. Charles Ray and Charlotte Ray, I headed up the hill (one of many, many hills in the bucolic landscape). Shortly thereafter, I discovered the grave of John Pitkin, who was born in 1794 and died in 1847. He was an early developer in East New York. Neighborhood residents remember his name every time they head out on Pitkin Avenue. An East New York Street that runs perpendicular to Pitkin Avenue — Eldert Lane — is named after John Eldert, who died in 1905 and is also buried at Cypress Hills Cemetery. The Eldert family owned a farm and farmhouse at the corner of Atlantic Avenue and Eldert Lane, the cemetery’s map says. Further along the way, I saw lovely statues on pedestals. On the Dreyer monument, the statue is a woman wearing a beautifully draped dress and holding a wreath. On the Newman monument, the statue is a winged angel.

A PLACE OF HONOR FOR POLICE OFFICERS Stone obelisks are another popular type of monument at Cypress Hills Cemetery. The one that marks the grave of Oliver Halsey has rows of realistic-looking tassels carved into it. It’s very eye-catching. Despite all my meandering around the peaceful graveyard, I did get to Jackie Robinson’s grave to pay my respects. What an inspirational person. After that, I headed to the other side of the cemetery to the Police Arlington Memorial, which is a special burial place created by the Metropolitan Police Benevolent Association in 1871. It is also known as the NYPD Honor Legion Police Memorial Garden. There are markers to alert visitors to two notable people buried there. One is Rabbi Abraham Blum, who was the NYPD’s first Jewish chaplain. He was appointed to his post in 1911 and served until his death in 1921, the NYPD said when it celebrated the 100th anniversary of its Jewish chaplaincy. The other is Henry Haywood, a New York City police officer who served as one of Teddy Roosevelt’s Rough Riders in the 1898 Spanish-American War in Cuba. Haywood died from a gunshot wound he sustained during the Battle of San Juan Hill. His body was ID’d thanks to the police badge he’d attached to the inside of his shirt, a posting on the website Find A Grave says.

He got his start in business by working as a clerk in a grocery store that also sold wholesale tobacco products. He used his savings to buy the shop in the early 1870s when the owner couldn’t keep it afloat financially, a Brownstoner.com story by architectural history expert Suzanne Spellen says. His first factory was the Bushwick Tobacco Works. He later set up a larger factory in Glendale, Queens. There’s another extraordinary thing to see in this part of Cypress Hills Cemetery. In 1862, a National Cemetery was established for Civil War soldiers. Thousands of ghostly white tombstones are lined up in long rows on the hillsides. There’s something to keep in mind when you take a graveyard stroll. The distances are vast and the gates are locked at a specific time. In Cypress Hills Cemetery, it’s 4:30 p.m. After you leave, take a moment to look at the old-fashioned arched entryway on Jamaica Avenue. It’s made of brick and stone and has an elaborately decorated roof. It’s an impeccable replica of the original structure, which was built in 1893.

A CIVIL WAR BURIAL GROUND

This is Cypress Hills Cemetery’s Jamaica Avenue gate.

Near the NYPD’s memorial garden, you’ll find one of the largest monuments in Cypress Hills Cemetery. It’s an imposing statue of a woman pointing skywards. She’s standing on an extremely tall pedestal. The monument marks the grave of Henry Meyer, a German immigrant who grew wealthy by founding the Ivanhoe Brand Pipe and Chewing Tobacco Co.

Brooklyn Daily Eagle cover from Oct. 7, 1927

ON OCT. 7, 1927, the Eagle reported, “Yankee Stadium — A full hour before today’s World Series game started, Babe Ruth stepped up to the plate and sloughed one into the right field bleachers for a home run. Thus the young man who lifts them with shoulders like a bear, known also as the Hoister of Homers and the Sultan of Sock, made the bleacherites completely happy and settled the one remaining question in this series. Nobody hereabouts wonders to whom the pennant will go, but, they ask, will the Babe come through? Well, technically, this was only a practice wallop, maybe — but he came through. For the bleacherites it was enough. This somewhat well-behaved crowd likes the Pirates, otherwise known as the Battling Buccaneers. A tremendous cheer greeted them from the throats of some 50,000 New Yorkers when they appeared on the field and another from perhaps 65,000 throats as they came to bat. ‘I’ll tell you how it is,’ explained the chief of the bleacherites, an honest New Yorker. ‘My money’s on the Yanks, but I’m not prejudiced. From all I can see, we couldn’t have a nicer gang of boys than the Pirates to play.’”

ON OCT. 9, 1927, the Eagle reported, “The New York Yankees are baseball champions of the world today by virtue of the fact that they won four games from the Pittsburg Pirates in a row — and because in yesterday’s battle, the last of the series, John Miljus inserted a wild pitch into the ninth inning with the bases loaded with Yankee ball players. The score of the fourth game was 4 to 3. And it was just about as hectic and wild a bit of athletic drama as one could want to see. They made baseball, it seems, for this … ‘I can’t blame Miljus a mite for the wild pitch that lost the game,’ [Pirates] Manager Donie Bush said. ‘It was just the final break. Johnnie Gooch has caught worse balls in his career, although that was a very bad pitch, but the series is over and I must give credit to the Yankees as one of the finest clubs in the history of baseball.’”  ON OCT. 9, 1939, the Eagle reported, “Moscow, Oct. 9 (AP) — Soviet Russia threw her weight behind Adolf Hitler’s peace gestures today in an editorial in the government newspaper Izvestia, accusing Great Britain and France of ‘returning to the Middle Ages’ for waging war to ‘exterminate Hitlerism.’ At the same time, it was announced Premier-Foreign Minister Commissar Vyacheslaff Molotov had reached a quick decision last night with leaders of a German trade delegation. The delegation arrived only yesterday to expedite stimulated trade between Russia and Germany under the recent formal trade and credit agreements between the Nazi-Communist partners. It was not specified what goods were involved.”  ON OCT. 9, 1945, the Eagle reported, “Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, the white-haired grinning Texan who steered the Pacific fleet from the ruins of Pearl Harbor to the triumph of Tokyo Bay, took New York today in the most impressive reception awarded heroes of this war to date. Given a tumultuous ‘well done’ with him were 13 veterans who earned the Congressional Medal of Honor under his command during the three years it took to send the Japanese fleet to the bottom of the sea. Climax of the reception, at which even the skies cleared for the man who was not afraid to ride typhoons to victory, was the stop at City Hall. There, before massed thousands, after a triumphal parade led by 4,000 sailors, marines and coast guardsmen and seven proudly blaring bands through the traditional ‘heroes’ canyon’ of downtown Manhattan, Admiral Nimitz received the city’s honorary citizenship and a specially struck gold medal.”  ON OCT. 10, 1849, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reprinted an article from the New York Evening Post, which read, “Edgar A. Poe. — This distinguished author, who was well known in our city for his infirmities as for his genius, died suddenly in Baltimore, on Sunday. His life had been one of unusual and painful vicissitudes. His youth was embittered by the wreck of hopes in which he had indulged until it was too late for him to be educated to the career of independence that awaited him. After leaving the University of Virginia, he passed some time in Europe, and on his return, still young, he entered the Military Academy at West Point, which he left, to undertake the profession of literature. His experience is an addition to the many mournful examples of the vexations and sufferings which follow such an election. He was an industrious, original and brilliant writer; and besides his numerous contributions to the periodicals, he published in volumes Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque; Arthur Gordon Pym (a nautical romance), Poems, Eureka (an essay on the material and spiritual universe), Tales, and two or three elementary books on science. He resided the three or four last years at Fordham near this city.”

Truck takeover of Dyker Heights spurs DOT action BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

esidents who have complained to local officials about excessive truck traffic on their streets have been heard by the city’s Department of Transportation. DOT has spent the past several weeks posting signs at key intersections in the neighborhood directing trucks to local truck routes to keep the big rigs off residential streets. The signs have been put up at the following locations in Dyker Heights and Bay Ridge: •86th Street at Gatling Place, •86th Street at Fort Hamilton Parkway, •Fort Hamilton Parkway at 92nd Street, •Dahlgren Place at 92nd Street, and •81st Street at Seventh Avenue. In addition, DOT plans to erect a sign at the corner of Seventh Avenue and 86th Street.

“These new signs, coupled with appropriate enforcement, will help make Dyker Heights safer and more livable by providing greater clarification to direct truck traffic off of neighborhood streets and onto legal truck routes,” a DOT spokesperson told the Home Reporter. State Sen. Andrew Gounardes, who formed a pedestrian task force earlier this year to look into ways to make local streets safer, said he’s pleased to see the DOT take action. “Illegal truck traffic coming off the highway is a huge problem in Dyker Heights. We need new signage that keeps truck traffic out of residential areas where children play, because it is a true safety hazard. I look forward to working with DOT to keep commercial trucks off residential streets,” Gounardes said. But Gounardes added that signs pointing out the locations of truck routes might not be enough. In a letter to DOT Brooklyn Commissioner Keith

State Sen. Andrew Gounardes (right), who formed a task force to look into traffic safety, is urging DOT to put up “No Truck” signs on local streets. He held a press conference earlier this year with task force members and Councilmember Justin Brannan (back row, center) to discuss car crashes. Bray, Gounardes wrote that a better solution might be to post “No Truck” signs to reinforce the message that trucks simply don’t belong on residential streets.

“Trucks regularly and brazenly drive down residential streets veering off the designated truck route, causing disturbances,” Gounardes wrote. “As

streets become more congested, residents suffer.” One Dyker Heights homeowner said her house shakes when trucks go by. “It’s scary,” she told the Home

Reporter. Truck traffic isn’t the only problem plaguing Dyker Heights. The neighborhood also has had a high number of car crashes, according to Police Department statistics. In the space of one 24-hour period, on Jan. 14, 2019, there were 17 car crashes within the confines of the 68th Precinct, which covers Dyker Heights and Bay Ridge. Alarmed by the high number of crashes, Gounardes formed the Southern Brooklyn Pedestrian Safety Task Force and brought residents together to take a deep dive into the problem and come up with ideas for solutions. In the spring, Gounardes and Councilmember Justin Brannan held the press conference on 10th Avenue to call on DOT to install traffic-calming measures to make Dyker Heights streets safer for pedestrians. “Stop looking and start taking action,” Brannan said at the press conference.

Leske’s closes, catching cake lovers off guard BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

hat’s the way the cookie crumbles. Bay Ridge residents are reacting with shock and sadness to the sudden closure of Leske’s, the beloved Scandinavian bakery on Fifth Avenue where generations of sweettoothed customers bought cakes, breads and cookies, including the famous Black and White Cookie. It’s not clear exactly what led to the abrupt closure of the iconic neighborhood bakery. An official notice from the New York City marshal, dated Oct. 4, was posted on the front door of Leske’s at 7612 Fifth Ave. informing the public that the building’s landlord, Insphere Corp., had “taken legal possession of these premises pursuant to warrant of the Civil Court.” Leske’s is owned by an entity known as Bread Depo Inc. The bakery first opened its doors in 1961. The legendary shop was famous for Scandinavian treats like Kringler and its

delicious Rugelach as well as its tasty Irish soda bread. The bakery offered a wide selection of breads, carefully-crafted cakes, pastries and doughnuts, as well as brownies, cookies and other delectable desserts. Bay Ridge residents who are early risers and who walked past Leske’s before 6 a.m. would get to enjoy the sight of racks of fresh-fromthe-oven loaves of bread placed on the sidewalk by the owners to cool. “Damn! I can’t believe they’re closed,” one woman told the Home Reporter as she stood forlornly outside the closed gate of Leske’s on Monday morning reading the marshal’s notice through the slats in the gate. “I came here looking to buy bread. They always had good bread. I even liked their whole wheat bread.” Ironically, Leske’s underwent a renovation earlier this year. The Christmas season, one of the busiest times of the year for the bakery, is just two months away. News of the closure

of Leske’s was shared on Facebook, where customers lamented the sudden departure of their favorite bakery and expressed hope that it could reopen at some point. Councilmember Justin Brannan has stepped in to offer help. “Leske’s is a legendary neighborhood institution. I was in touch with the owners all weekend offering my support. We are trying to find a way to get Leske’s back open as soon as possible,” Brannan told the Home Reporter in an email on Monday. Brannan, whose wife, Leigh Holliday Brannan, owns the Art Room an art gallery-school on Third Avenue, expressed sympathy for the owners of Leske’s. “As the husband of a small business owner, I know it’s not easy to run a small business in this city. They all need our support. We will do everything we can to rectify whatever issues there may be and get those bakery ovens back on soon,” he said. Brannan, a Democrat

Customers hoping to buy cakes, cookies or other desserts at the legendary Leske’s bakery on Fifth Avenue were greeted with a closed gate.

A notice from the New York City marshal informs the public that the bakery was closed following a civil court action.

representing Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights and parts of Bensonhurst, noted on his Facebook page that Leske’s closed for a short time back in 2012, but then reopened. “Hoping we can bring them back once again,” he wrote. “So sad,” Pamela Thompson wrote to Brannan on Facebook. “Thank you for all that you do to help the

community. My daughter got her first black and white cookie there. Now she’s almost 20. Leske’s is a huge part of Bay Ridge. I’m sure we all have a beautiful Leske’s story to tell.” Neither the building’s landlord, Insphere Corp., nor the owners of Leske’s, Bread Depo Inc., could be reached for comment.

SPEAKING UP/ SPEAKING OUT

he Voice of America dropped by the Conservative Party last week to get my take on the new city policy administered by the Human Rights Commission that provides for up to a $250,000 fine for individuals who use the expression “illegal aliens” in a hateful manner. I had no shortage of words. The two words illegal and alien go perfectly together when describing individuals who enter this nation without permission. All one needs to do is look it up in any dictionary. As far as hate speech is concerned, this allows the government to become involved in mind reading and raises First Amendment issues. It does a horrible job right now knowing what we are thinking, based on how our elected officials interpret

our views before they write new laws. I certainly do not want the government trying to figure out what I am thinking on anything. In any event, I doubt there is a person alive that thinks this fine for hateful speech would survive a federal court review. So, it is just a matter of time before it is knocked down. Interestingly, I did not hear any local Democratic elected officials speak up in protest. They seem to think it is okay in 2019 for our city to be moving in the direction of Orwell’s novel 1984. *** In my capacity as New York State Conservative Party Chairperson, I did a swing through Erie County last Thursday evening and all-day Friday.

and at a lunch with members of the real estate community, I got an earful. The owner of a large wholesale beer and soda distribution company founded in 1960 that now employees 600 people told the group that New York State was driving him out of business. He cited a variety of New York State changes over the past few years that are hurting his ability to remain an ongoing concern. He noted that, including everything from bonuses to matches and profit-sharing, many of his employees have retired with upwards of $1 million in retirement savings. Those savings benefits will be the first to go, followed by cutbacks and who knows what else. His business is not one that you can move to another region, although moving across

the river to Canada was a possibility. Most everyone else at the breakfast chimed in with similar horror stories. Lynne Dixon, the Republican-Conservative candidate for Erie County executive who is polling in a dead heat with her Democratic opponent, raised the issue of wasted state spending in Western New York that creates no jobs at great expense. At lunch, the changes enacted this past year through

DUTY BOUND

n Feb. 6, 1974, the House of Representatives held a vote on the floor and passed H.Res.803. Rep. John Murphy, representing Staten Island, voted in favor of the measure, as did Rep. Hugh Carey, whose district covered Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, and Sunset Park. Rep. Bertram Podell, who represented Bensonhurst, Gravesend, and Coney Island also voted yea. In fact, the entire congressional delegation from New York City, which included representatives such as Ed Koch and Shirley Chisholm, voted in the affirmative. When all votes were tallied, the measure passed with overwhelming bipartisan support, 410-4, granting the House Judiciary Committee full subpoena power for an impeachment inquiry into President Richard Nixon. Republican members of Congress supported the president at that time and

didn’t believe he should be impeached, yet all but four of them agreed that the facts, as they were known at that time, required an inquiry. In 1974, New York’s 10th Congressional District was represented by Mario Biaggi, grandfather of current State Sen. Alessandra Biaggi. The area it covered, including a swath of the Bronx and part of Queens, was similar to the district Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez now represents. Today, New York’s 10th Congressional District is comprised of the west side of Manhattan and various parts of Southern Brooklyn and is repped by Jerry Nadler, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, which is the committee in which articles of impeachment against President Trump would be drawn up and voted on if the current proceedings progress to that point. Next door, in New York’s 11th Congressional District,

which covers Staten Island and much of Southern Brooklyn, the question of an impeachment inquiry has garnered a great deal of attention recently. Two weeks ago, it was centered around whether Rep. Max Rose would come out in favor, in light of the whistleblower complaint related to presidential dealings with Ukraine. This past week, it has been in response to his declaration of support for the House beginning an inquiry. With Rep. Rose publicly for it, just as in February of 1974, the entire New York City congressional delegation is unified behind the need to begin this process. It is not something any of them take joy in. To the contrary, they have made clear it is a sad time for the nation, yet a time when they are called on to act as required by our Constitution. The latest troubling revelations may seem so

as the “Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act” were the only thing that was discussed. Some attendees had already made the decision to move their activities out of state; others said it would be financially impossible to keep their buildings up to the standards their tenants have grown to expect. Of course, developers will not build if there is not a market for the buildings due to an inability for owners to make a decent return on their investment. It is worth mentioning that, for the most part, the support for the change to the state rent laws was mostly a New York City/Nassau County thing. The new law is statewide and a real shock for many. It will be an even greater shock in the years to come as its effect on the broader

state is felt. Last week, many district attorneys and law enforcement officials raised the red flag over the state’s move to a “cashless” bail system which will allow the overwhelming majority of those arrested to be released almost immediately without bail. You could be involved in an aggravated vehicular homicide or a terrorist threat and you would be released with a promise that you would return to court. I have now traveled to every region of the state meeting with residents and the media, and I can say I hear this everywhere. New York State government ‘s progressive hodgepodge of laws, which do not reflect policy but are an insertion of untested ideas, seems to be backfiring.

MATTER OF FACT BY JAY BROWN seven-month-long impeachment inquiry focused on finding facts. distant from our neighborhoods, as they deal with the president and geopolitical matters 5,000 miles away, but our representatives here in Southern Brooklyn can, and very well may, play pivotal roles in the course of history. The members of the House from New York’s 10th and 11th Congressional Districts have the responsibility of being the stewards of the government the framers of the Constitution gave us. As Benjamin Franklin referred to it, “A republic, if you can keep it.” This is how we keep it, just as in 1974 when Rep. Peter Rodino, from New Jersey’s 10th Congressional District, as chairperson of the House Judiciary Committee, kept a

The latest troubling revelations may seem so distant from our neighborhoods, as they deal with the president and geopolitical matters 5,000 miles away, but our representatives here in Southern Brooklyn can, and very well may, play pivotal roles in the course of history.

Rodino had only just taken over as chair from outgoing Rep. Emanuel Celler, who represented Southern Brooklyn for 50 years in a district that had been known as both the 10th and 11th Congressional District during his tenure. Celler had lost his

Democratic primary to Elizabeth Holtzman, who joined the House Judiciary Committee and participated in the impeachment inquiry into President Nixon. Ultimately, that committee passed three articles of impeachment. Seven Republicans voted in favor of at least one article. Within a week, senior Republican senators informed the president he would be impeached and that there were enough GOP senators who would vote to convict him to exceed the two-thirds threshold required for removal. Nixon announced his resignation the following day. In the past 10 years, Congress has impeached two men, federal Judges charged with corruption and obstruction of justice. The system was used. It worked. As it did in 1974.

Focus on Bay Ridge

Adelphi Academy lends support to BRAVO and other Bay Ridge causes

By Charles F. Otey

Rich traditions, sense of community spirit helped Bay Ridge become a NORC

Home Reporter’s Katinas has chronicled evolution of our Naturally Occurring Retirement Community

With all the changes happening throughout Brooklyn, cultural population migrations affect the personality and identity of neighborhoods each day. Despite the changes, Bay Ridge has remained one of the most consistent. As a result, it’s become the most populous senior neighborhood among all five boroughs, which explains why it’s been designated a NORC: Naturally Occuring Retirement Community. Most urban neighborhoods seem to be dealing with gentrification, rising crime, too much construction and other modern ills. Then again, we’re learning, Bay Ridge is not like most urban neighborhoods. In fact, here in what we call Greater Bay Ridge, the most defining characteristics are stability, good schools, quality shopping areas and traditions. All of these characteristics are exemplified by our valued local press, most often through the reporting of Paula Katinas, who has served as a writer and editor for more than a quarter century. The Bay Ridge Center recently opened a NORC center on Third Avenue with dedicated center personnel Executive Director Marianne Nicolosi, Deputy Executive Director Todd Fliedner and Director of Senior Services Cathy King doing the groundwork. Fortunately, thanks largely to this newspaper, the community’s evolution into a NORC has been professionally and actively recorded by Katinas, who has been covering the Bay Ridge “beat” from the very beginning of her illustrious career. Katinas credits our special NORC status, in large part, to a plethora of solid and nurturing traditions including the colorful Ragamuffin Parade, the Third Avenue Festival, the Friday night Summer Stroll on 3rd program and the

When former state Sen. Marty Golden (far right) and Chip Cafiero (center) were honored for their vital work in supporting BRAVO (Bay Ridge Ambulance Volunteer Organization) on Sept. 26 at the Dyker Beach Golf Club, the gala event was attended by key leaders from every area of Greater Bay Ridge life. Among them were leaders in the field of education, namely Adelphi Academy of Brooklyn Director of Academy Operations Albert C. Corhan (left) and Head of School Iphigenia Romanos (second from left), who joined Golden’s wife Colleen for a congratulatory photo during the evening’s festivities. Adelphi Academy, one of Brooklyn’s most revered and historic institutions, has been educating Brooklyn’s youth since 1863. Located in the heart of Bay Ridge at 8515 Ridge Blvd., Adelphi lends its active support to many worthwhile causes throughout the year, from the BRAVO gala to the recent 53rd Annual Ragamuffin Parade that saw thousands of costumed children march along Third Avenue, including a large contingent of Adelphi students and parents. Meanwhile, it should be noted that when not organizing beloved Bay Ridge events like the Third Avenue Festival, Cafiero proudly serves as director of community and external relations for Adelphi.

The Home Reporter‘s own Paula Katinas helped chronicle Bay Ridge’s rise to NORC status during her 25-year-plus career in journalism. Photo courtesy of Merchants of Third Ave. mini boom brought to Fifth Avenue since it attained its Business Improvement District status. She explained, “A NORC is defined as a neighborhood where large numbers of senior citizens who moved there when they were young and who raised their children there have ‘aged in place,’ meaning that they have remained in the community long after their children were grown.”

“Just about everyone loves the Friday night Summer Stroll on 3rd events,” she continued. “These enable older residents to mix and mingle with newcomers and impart the spirit of volunteerism that is very much in demand these days.” Katinas believes this is a NORC with a rosy future. “The population of older adults in Bay Ridge is expected to grow over the next decade,” she said. “According to experts, [it’s] predicted that in 15 years, nearly 50 percent of the population will be over the age of 55.” She reminded us, “In 2016, the Bay Ridge Center conducted a survey called a ‘Neighborhood Needs Assessment’ to ask older adults in the Community Board 10 area how they were doing. The survey was funded through a $100,000 grant secured by Vincent Gentile, the councilmember at the time, who has been succeeded by current Councilmember Justin Brannan. Our elected officials recognize that our seniors make up a very significant portion of those who go out to vote in the primaries and the regular election.” Katinas, who has covered many elections here and throughout Brooklyn, observed, “If you watch the lines on election day, you’ll see that a majority of those casting their votes are most likely those who qualify ours as a NORC.” Community Board 10 District Manager Josephine Beckmann echoes Katinas’ sentiments, telling a New York Times reporter that she frequently goes with her father-in-law to the well-attended Fort Hamilton Senior Recreation Center. “You have seniors living immediately in the area who are learning how to use a computer, taking dance classes, going to work out,” Beckmann said. “They have a big social network and dances every week. It’s a fun place to go.” The Times article referenced that “Fort Hamilton, the square-mile-size southern half of Bay Ridge, which takes its name from the

local army garrison, is not a place that people tend to leave. Judging from the numbers, this magnetism has effectively turned it into a ‘NORC,’ or Naturally Occurring Retirement Community.”

Katinas to receive Larry Morrish Community Service Award

Katinas’ journalistic efforts have been much appreciated and she’s received a number of awards, including the designation as a “Bay Ridge Hidden Treasure” by the Bay Ridge Community Council. This year, she will be singled out as the recipient of the Larry Morrish Community Service Award at the 2019 Pioneers Cocktail Reception hosted by the Merchants of Third Avenue. The event is scheduled to take place in December at the Bay Ridge Manor. Thanks to her extensive and continued chronicling, Katinas also serves as an invaluable bridge from the non-digital days of total paper print journalism to current times wherein many — especially those who virtually live on the internet — have very limited knowledge of community and the volunteerism that is key to their success. As a Home Reporter staffer, she personally reported on the rise of civic leaders like Gentile and Marty Golden, who were outstanding volunteers long before they sought elective office. Here, in a place designated a NORC, those who read paper newspapers put a lot of stock in the work of a professional writer who knows their community and its defining traditions. Not only do they vote, but in times when small businesses are challenged unfairly by Amazon and other delivery behemoths, seniors actually have more spendable income and continue to be much in evidence on Third and Fifth avenues as well as along the 86th Street corridor. In addition, they have spent a heck of a lot of time over the last quarter century learning about their special community thanks to the writings of Katinas and very well informed columnists such as Ted General and Jerry Kassar.
