HAITI — COMING TOGETHER: Protesters gathered under a bridge in Port-au-Prince on Tuesday in front of a mural that depicts justice as equality. Anger over corruption, inflation and scarcity of basic supplies, including fuel, has led to more than a month of demonstrations that have paralyzed the country.

I voted early: Here’s how it went

By Mary Frost The PHOENIX

I voted early for the very first time on Monday — and it was amazing.

As a jaded Brooklynite who has voted in almost every election for the past 20 years, I found the difference between regular Election Day voting and early voting to be revelatory. (Kind of like landing at San Diego International after taking off from LaGuardia.)

Early voting is the way voting is supposed to be. The energy is high, and election staffers are friendly. The process is computerized from beginning to end and everything works. You just tell the poll workers your name and they look up your information on their tablets. No more paper books.

In Brooklyn, there are 18 early voting sites set up (61 across the city), and yours may be different than your usual voting place. Don’t panic. You can easily find out where it is by calling 311.

My early voting site was the Urban Assembly School for Law and Justice at 283 Adams St. in Downtown Brooklyn. It was easy to find the place: Red, white and blue Vote NYC arrows are stuck onto the sidewalks surrounding the school, pointing you right to the entrance.

School is open, but there is no mixing of voters and students. A woman sitting at a table right inside the building directs you to the cafeteria, where numerous tables and voting stations are set up.

Get this: You don’t have to go to a specific

district table. The poll worker takes your information and then prints out a ballot suitable for your district, all within one minute. Then you walk the ballot to a private voting booth where, as usual, you fill in the circles next to your choices. After that you feed the ballot into the scanner. Finito.

Poll Inspector Grace Meulens says it’s about time New York got into the early voting business.

“It’s better for the people for the simple reason that people can’t come out to vote on Tuesday; they got to go to work,” Meulens told the PHOENIX. “Now they have Saturday and Sunday. What were they waiting for? Thirty states had it. New York? The biggest and the dumbest.” (New York is not the biggest state; jury’s out on if it’s the dumbest.)

The old registration book was “always incorrect,” Meulens added. “They never had the right addresses in it and we continuously had to make out affidavits. I think [early voting] is better.”

While Meulens is a Democratic inspector, her Republican tablemate, who didn’t want to go on the record, nodded her agreement.

“It’s bipartisan. Everybody is happy about it,” Meulens said.

This election, voters are deciding on five ballot questions that propose changes to the City Charter, and are also electing a candidate for the position of public advocate.

Inspector Jan Combopiano advised that people read their voter guide before coming to fill out their ballot.

“The proposals are in pretty small print, so it’s hard to read. So, read about them in the voter guide or online, and that would really help,” she told the PHOENIX. “People can always vote on the ballot marking device if they have a hard time reading it,” Combopiano added. “Anyone can use the ballot marking device. It makes the print bigger.”

Poll hours On Monday, Wednesday and Thursday the

An election official advises that people read their voter guide before coming to fill out their ballot, especially because the City Charter proposals (on the flip side) are in tiny print and hard to read. polling sites were open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Today, they open at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. On the weekend it’s 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

All the 61 sites across the city have the same hours.

If your site seems like it’s too far to walk, Uber and Lyft are offering rides to early voting poll sites citywide at a 50 percent discount. To receive the discount, request a ride and use the code NYSVOTES2019 for Uber and NYCVOTES for Lyft. The discount is for a single ride (one way) and is good for up to $5 off, while rides are available.

Actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw dazzles with sheer variety of jobs

By Mark Kennedy The Associated Press

Sometimes it seems like Gugu Mbatha-Raw is playing some crazy version of showbiz Bingo.

This is a woman who has assembled an astonishing variety of roles in her 36 years. Big-budget Hollywood blockbuster? Sure, “A Wrinkle in Time.” What about an 18th-century English drama? Of course, “Belle.” Any romantic comedies?

Check out “Larry Crowne.”

She’s been on Broadway, in Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” no less, and a classic Disney musical with “Beauty and the Beast.” Sci-fi? Of course — look at “Cloverfield Paradox.” Voicing a puppet?

Check out “The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.”

“I always like the idea of being a chameleon,” Mbatha-Raw says. “I always like to feel like I’m stretching myself and doing something opposite to what I did before. Because that keeps me interested and hopefully keeps other people interested.”

The actress has a clutch of projects coming out this fall and they’re typically diverse: the film noir feature “Motherless Brooklyn,” the flagship Apple TV Plus streaming drama “The Morning Show” and the searing indie film “Farming.”

Mbatha-Raw plays a love interest opposite Edward Norton in the actor-director’s adaption of Jonathan Lethem’s 1999 novel “Motherless Brooklyn” about a private eye with Tourette’s syndrome.

Norton went back in time to plunk the story in 1959 and created Mbatha-Raw’s character, a community activist from Harlem who forges an unexpected bond with the detective.

“They’re both overlooked in different ways,” she says. “I think they see something in each other where no one else sort of sees them, which I thought was really beautiful.”

Mbatha-Raw is an actress who does her research. For “A Wrinkle in Time,” she visited NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, so naturally she went to great lengths to get the tone right — walking around Harlem, listening to Miles Davis and Billie Holiday.

“When you’re filming in New York, the history is all around you,” she says. “And it’s such a treat because it really grounds you in a sense of place and time,” she said.

Mbatha-Raw goes from the '50s to the present day for “The Morning Show,” a series about the cutthroat off-camera world of a morning TV show that stars Jennifer Aniston, Reese Wither-spoon and Steve Carell.

She plays an ambitious talent booker and says

the show is deeply influenced by our post-#MeToo era media landscape. “It goes to some really interesting dark places,” she says. “It’s quite juicy and Machiavellian.”

Mbatha-Raw graduated from London’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts and soon found parts

on TV and the stage, like on “Doctor Who” and opposite Jude Law in “Hamlet.” Subsequent highlights include the Emmy-winning “Black Mirror” episode “San Junipero” and her first starring film role in “Belle.”

Her work often explores race — as she did playing a biracial aristocrat in “Belle” — but she’s also appeared in work in which her own race is not commented on, like in the multicultural cast of “A Wrinkle in Time.”

Mbatha-Raw’s father grew up under apartheid in South Africa and her mother is white and British. “Identity interests me,” she says. “I like the freedom to be a three-dimensional artist that can explore all sides of humanity.”

She has steered sharply into the topic of racial identity in one current project — “Farming,” the harrowing, real-life tale of an African immigrant to England in the 1970s who somehow became a skinhead. It’s based on the life of Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, who directs, co-stars and wrote the screenplay.

Mbatha-Raw plays a kindly teacher, an amalgam of three or four real people who helped get Akinnuoye-Agbaje’s life back on track. The film is a terrifying look at identity and belonging.

“When I first read the script, I thought, ‘Oh, this is brutal. This is really harrowing.’ But I think you have to go on that journey. And I think it’s one of those ugly parts of our British history that we need to heal from. I think you have to sort of acknowledge these parts of history.”

Akinnuoye-Agbaje had worked with MbathaRaw before — notable on the film “Concussion” — and needed an actress who exuded benevolence and purity. “While she’s an amazing talent as an actress, she has that as a human being,” he says. “It’s just so effortless for her.”

Mbatha-Raw, who in 2017 became a Member of the Order of the British Empire for her services to drama, makes her home in Los Angeles these days. This year marks the 10th anniversary of her first visit to America.

“I definitely consider myself British still, but I love America. I just love the spirit here. I love the work that gets made here. I think it’s a fascinating bundle of contradictions and it’s a dynamic place to live and work.”

News From Your Neighborhood THOUSANDS OF FANS STORM NEW WEGMANS

BROOKLYN NAVY YARD — Thousands of Wegmans fans, including some who began lining up at 4 a.m., poured into the city’s first Wegmans supermarket at the Brooklyn Navy Yard on Sunday. “I’ve been waiting for this my whole adult life,” said Kimberly Ciaccia, 40, of Brooklyn, who arrived at the new store well before the crack of dawn, according to the New York Post. By noon, at least 30,000 shoppers had visited the 74,000-square-foot store, an employee of the Rochester-based grocery chain told the Post. One woman from the Bronx, Rashida Shabazz, told the Post that she was glad to make the hour-plus commute from her apartment because of the quality of the food. Shabazz, a retiree, had spent the night in her sister’s house in Brooklyn. Others, however, found the crowds disconcerting.

DEED FRAUD ISN’T NEW IN BROOKLYN

BOROUGHWIDE — There has recently been an epidemic of deed fraud in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Crown Heights and other gentrifying neighborhoods. However, the crime is not new, according to the Brownstone Detective website. For example, in 1907, Charles Edgar Appleby, a widower and retired lawyer reportedly worth $25 million, was reading a newspaper that stated that a parcel that he owned had been transferred to “Edith Stonebridge.” It was the first time he had heard of any such transaction, and he immediately wrote to his lawyers. Their investigation, Brownstone Detective said, led to the arrest of Patrick Moore, employed by Guarantee and Trust Company, and John Bough, lessee of the Dry Dock Hotel. Investigators also found that Stonebridge could not be found but was rumored to have “frequently Bowery resorts.” The deed was drawn by Frederick Anderson, a notary, but he couldn’t be found either. Assistant District Attorney Milner told the Eagle at the time, “There is a gang of straw bond men in New York who have for years been working in the courts. Their method is to forge a deed from some old man, transfer the property through three or four [fictitious] persons, until it is difficult to fix the crime upon any one person.”

SANTA MARIA REPLICA STUCK ON SAND BAR

UNUSUAL HOTEL TO RISE ON LIVINGSTON STREET

DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — A 22-story hotel at 291 Livingston St. in Downtown Brooklyn will have an unusual striped façade, according to Brownstoner. Buildings Department records show there will be 103 hotel rooms and a beer garden on the ground floor. A rendering posted on the construction fence shows a thin, angled tower whose facade is covered in black and white stripes, Brownstoner reported.

Since the previous two-story building on the site was razed in 2017, walls for the new building have risen about two stories. The development is set back from the street, so it’s difficult to see. The development firm Hello Living bought the site from John Catsimatidis in 2017.

COPS SEEK DUO WHO TRIED TO ROB DELI

CROWN HEIGHTS — The NYPD is looking for two men whom they say tried to rob a deli in Crown Heights earlier this month, according to PIX11. On Oct. 21, an unidentified man, acting as a lookout, pretended to buy a drink at a deli near the corner of Nostrand Avenue and Sterling Place. Another man entered the store and pointed a gun at the man working behind the counter. The armed man threatened the employee and tried to remove cash from the register but was not successful. The two men then fled in an unknown direction without any cash, police said.

W’BURG HASIDIC DELI FEATURED ON WEBSITE

WILLIAMSBURG — Atlas Obscura recently featured Gottlieb’s Restaurant in Williamsburg, one of a small number of glatt kosher delis in the U.S. (Glatt kosher is a type of kashrut that is much stricter than the usual kashrut.) The deli, in the Hasidic area of the neighborhood, was opened in 1962 by a Hungarian holocaust survivor and hasn’t changed much. Although items such as sesame chicken and chicken lo mein have been added, most of the items on the menu are Eastern European mainstays such as goulash, stuffed cabbage, matzoh ball soup and pastrami sandwiches with fried onions.

B’KLYN MUSICIAN FOCUSES ON AFRICAN, CARIBBEAN SOUNDS

BROOKLYN BRIDGE — A replica of Christopher Columbus’ Santa Maria got stuck in a sand bar off the coast of Brooklyn on Monday afternoon, according to the New York Post. The NAO Santa Maria, which travels to different cities to teach history on the 525th anniversary of Columbus’ voyage, got stuck during low tide as it traveled up the East River toward the Brooklyn Bridge for a photo shoot. Police responded and pushed the ship, but it didn’t break free until the tide went up and dislodged it from the sand bar. The ship finally sailed back to the Brooklyn Army Terminal around 4:30 p.m.

FORT GREENE — Dawn Drake, a performer who specializes in AfroCuban, Brazilian, Caribbean and African music, is performing every Tuesday night with her band ZapOte at 33 Lafayette St., Fort Greene.

She refers to her music as “chronic groove from the global south.”

As a percussionist, she studied extensively in Cuba, Brazil and Ghana before gravitating toward the bass. Her mostly female band puts a premium on highlighting women, and she has done a lot of work with the public-school system and the Brooklyn Arts Council.

ARTIST WHO POSTED INSENSITIVE DISPLAY RESIGNS

‘TWO TOMS’ IN GOWANUS, COP HANGOUT, TO CLOSE

GOWANUS — A bar and Italian restaurant that has been a hangout for police officers and firefighters since it opened in 1948 will be closing shortly after Christmas, according to Patch. The restaurant, Two Toms, has been described as “equal parts social club, American Legion hall and grandpa’s rec room” by New York Eater. Anthony Catapano, the owner of Two Toms, who is planning to retire, says he is selling the building because of the changing landscape of the neighborhood and changing tastes. Catapano took over the restaurant from his late uncle Tom Giordano, one of the original two Toms, Patch said.

COP SEEN PUNCHING TEENS TRANSFERRED OUT OF PRECINCT

SUBWAY SYSTEM — An officer who was caught on camera punching two teens in a wild subway melee in Brooklyn last weekend was transferred on Monday, according to the New York Post. The cop, whose name wasn’t made public, was moved from the 84th Precinct to the Brooklyn Detective Squad. The same officer had many previous complaints filed with the Civilian Complaint Review Board. Some of these included the use of force. The melee began with a fight between two groups of teens. Video from the incident shows officers from the 84th Precinct trying to cuff one of the teens as he appears to pull away, the Post reported. Then, the cop who was transferred ran up to another teen and punched him in the face, starting another brawl. Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, a former police captain, had called for the cop who punched the teen to be placed on modified duty.

HEALTH GROUP SET TO BEGIN HOME VISITS

BOROUGHWIDE — RiseBoro, a social services nonprofit organization based in Brooklyn, is starting a new program in which health professionals can visit members in their homes for wellness checks.

Although the nonprofit has previously provided preventive services and home care, this will be the first time the services will be paid for by insurance, according to amNewYork. Many of RiseBoro’s clients tend to use the emergency room as their primary care doctor, amNewYork added. The at-home visits, set to begin in November, will involve talking with clients about their health conditions as well as assessing the quality of their home environment and daily living conditions. RiseBoro hopes to target a wide range of chronic diseases, including Type 2 diabetes, hypertension and obesity.

WOULD-BE NONPROFIT SITE TO HOUSE UPSCALE DEVELOPMENT

BEDFORD-STUYVESANT — A century-old office building in BedfordStuyvesant will be turned into upscale residences or workspaces, despite state officials’ original intention of having a local nonprofit use the building to create jobs, according to THE CITY. The nonprofit group, Voras Enterprise, which is affiliated with the Northeast Brooklyn Housing Development Corp., sold the former state-owned building for $12 million in June to a company known as Rivington Company LLC. NEBHDCo poured $940,000 into running the building, but it still lost money and the building is largely empty, THE CITY reported. After Voras found itself in bankruptcy court, Bankruptcy Judge Nancy Hershey Lord expedited the sale over the objections of Jeffrey Dunston, president of Voras as well as CEO of NEBHDCo. Meanwhile, tenants of residential buildings owned by NEBHDCo are protesting conditions there, THE CITY said.

SALAZAR STILL DOESN’T HAVE A BROOKLYN OFFICE

CENTRAL BROOKLYN — State Sen. Julia Salazar has been in office for a year but still hasn’t opened a district office in which to meet her Brooklyn constituents, according to the New York Post. Salazar’s website lists her “temporary” district office as 250 Broadway in lower Manhattan, rather than within her senatorial district, which runs from GreenpointWilliamsburg to East New York, the Post said. In a recent interview with Kings County Politics, Salazar blamed her delay in renting an office on fiscal and bureaucratic snafus. “Whenever we find spaces — and we’ve found a lot — they have not met the pretty strict requirements, budgetwise and otherwise, of the Senate,” she told the website.

GAGE & TOLLNER COMES BACK TO LIFE

DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — Untapped Cities recently took readers inside the redevelopment of the ground-floor storefront at 372 Fulton St., most recently a discount jewelry and clothing store, back into Gage & Tollner, one of the city’s oldest restaurants, which occupied the site for almost 100 years. The eatery closed in the mid1990s, and the space was home first to a T.G.I. Friday’s and then to an Arby’s before it ceased being a restaurant. Its original wall panels, arched mirrors and chandeliers are being brought back to their original appearance. Unlike in the original restaurant, the overhead lights will not have the capability to be lit with gas, as they were on special occasions way back when, but will now be totally electric.

There will be a glass case on the second floor to hold artifacts, such as an ashtray from the original Gage & Tollner.

NYC Health + Hospitals/Coney Island raises critical funds for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer At NYC Health + Hospitals/ Coney Island, the start of fall means the well-coordinated effort across the hospital is in full swing with the goal of raising money for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.

Just like caring for patients requires every department to play a role, the Coney Island Hospital teams work concurrently for breast cancer fundraising efforts.

Spearheaded by Patricia Roman, senior associate director of patient relations, and Kathleen Terrio, coordinating manager, enterprise IT services, the hospital’s efforts began long before October during the sweltering summer months.

sales leading up to the Making Strides Brooklyn Walk on Oct. 20. At the same time, staff in appropriate roles began “Casual Fridays,” when, for a small donation, staff are permitted to wear jeans to work.

“Staff, patients and families alike enjoy our Pink Wednesday events, and truly come together to show their generosity in hopes to one day find a cure,” said Roman, whose department raised more than $6,000 in a single day. “It’s a labor of love, and it is truly heartwarming to see individuals touched by

breast cancer in some way, work collaboratively for the cause.”

Additionally, NYC Health + Hospitals/Coney Island hosted two new fundraising events this year: Strike Out Breast Cancer and Bowling for a Cure.

MCU Park, which is the site of Making Strides Brooklyn, hosted Strike Out Cancer night.

More than 100 staff members and their families attended a Brooklyn Cyclones game against the Vermont Lake Monsters, and the Cyclones donated a portion of the ticket sales back to the hospital’s Making Strides

efforts.

“The Brooklyn Cyclones and MCU Park were fantastic hosts, and went above and beyond to promote the hospital’s efforts,” said Terrio, who coordinated the event. “It was fantastic to see our staff and their families come together for a fun night and a great cause in the community in which we serve.”

The hospital’s pharmacy department hosted a bowling tournament in October at Shell Lanes. Following a spirited competition, a first place trophy was awarded to the winning team, while proceeds were donated to Making Strides Brooklyn.

At the culmination of this

awareness month, Making Strides Brooklyn, Terrio and De Gennaro were joined by Mei Kong, RN, chief operating officer and chief nursing officer, to cut the ribbon to begin the inspiring event.

Although a final tally won’t be available until the end of November, the hospital has already raised more than $28,000.

In addition to funds raised, the hospital raised something that is equally as important as money: awareness. “At the end of the day, we want South Brooklyn to know we are here for them, and we’re proud to serve this community and provide exceptional care,” said Kong.

Eye Health for Older Adults: Reducing Risks of Age-Related Eye Diseases As people age, they are at higher risk for certain eye diseases and conditions, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cataract, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma.

“While many of these diseases and conditions have no warning signs, they can be detected in their early stages during a comprehensive eye exam,” says Dr. Bruce Rosenthal, chief of low vision services at Lighthouse Guild, the leading organization dedicated to addressing and preventing vision loss. The key to saving sight is early detection and treatment.”

AMD is the leading cause of vision loss and blindness among adults over 50. It gradually destroys the macula, the part of the eye that provides sharp, central vision. A variety of treatments can help reduce the risk of vision loss in people with AMD. Cataract is a clouding of the lens in the eye that causes vision loss and is very common in older people. Surgery is the only effective treatment. It is one of the most common surgeries in the US.

Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that damages blood vessels in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. Early detection, timely treatment, and appropriate follow-up care can reduce the risk of vision loss by 95 percent.

Glaucoma can cause fluid and pressure to build up in the eye and damage the optic nerve.

It first affects side vision, but can lead to total vision loss without treatment Treating Low Vision Low vision describes vision loss that makes daily tasks difficult. “Normal aging of the eye does not lead to low vision; it is a result of eye diseases, injuries or both,” says Rosenthal. Low vision symptoms include loss of central and/or peripheral vision, blurred or hazy vision or night blindness.

“If you experience any of these problems, it is important to see your ophthalmologist, who will check for and treat any underlying conditions and advise on resources, aids and devices — including brighter

lighting — to help with reading and other daily tasks,” Rosenthal explains.

Systemic health problems like high blood pressure can affect eye health, and the ability to see clearly can change frequently. “Keep your ophthalmologist informed about your health conditions and use of medications and nutritional supplements, as well as your exercise, eating, sleeping and other lifestyle choices,” Rosenthal advises.

Preventing Vision Loss Those with a family history of conditions such as macular degeneration, glaucoma and diabetes are at greater risk of developing these eye conditions. Early detection is the key to preserving vision.

Diabetics are especially at risk. People with diabetes should schedule a complete eye examination that includes a dilated fundus exam (an evaluation of the retina) to look for very early signs of the condition.

In addition to regular comprehensive eye exams, which

can detect problems before noticeable vision loss occurs, many lifestyle factors can play an important role in protecting vision as we age.

Following these recommendations will support eye health: •Eating a balanced diet including dark, leafy greens and fish high in omega-3 fatty acids.

•Maintaining a healthy weight and exercising.

•Getting enough sleep to rest and continuously lubricate the eyes.

•Quitting smoking.

•Keeping diabetes under control.

•Wearing sunglasses and a brimmed hat outdoors.

•Wearing protective eyewear during vigorous activity.

•Avoiding falls with slipproof rugs and secure railings.

•Discussing your family’s eye health history with your eye care professional.

“Prevention of vision loss — across the life span — is our vision insurance policy that can help to preserve and maintain our quality of life, especially as we get older,” Rosenthal says.

“Haunted” cocktail party brings new faces to Marine Park’s historic Lott House

Champions of Justice gala raises money for breast cancer, saluting women in the law

By Rob Abruzzese INBrooklyn

The Brooklyn legal community showed off its members’ support for each other and the collegiality they share during the Champions of Justice ceremony that honored women in the law, hosted by the Brooklyn Daily Eagle on Tuesday night.

Some of the highlights of the event included three full tables of assistant district attorneys cheering and giving a standing ovation to support their chief of staff Maritza Mejia-Ming, multiple tables of hooting and hollering in support of RoseAnn Branda, and Tom Moore bragging that his wife Judith Livingston had successfully tried 35 cases that each resulted in at least a $1 million jury verdict.

A total of 26 women were honored and the themes of their speeches often had nothing to do with themselves, but instead were about the other women who helped them along their paths, or the co-honorees they were proud to share the spotlight with.

“We’ve come together this evening to recognize and celebrate women in leadership at all levels in the Brooklyn community,” Justice DiMango continued.

“While it’s true that we can’t all be Ruth Bader Ginsbergs or even Judge Judys, we all got here tonight by being success stories in our own right.”

Justice DiMango set the tone early when she explained some of the obstacles that she had to overcome to get where she is. She said that even though her path wasn’t always direct, she was often forced to adapt and became a better attorney and judge because of it.

An example shared by Justice DiMango, who had always wanted to be an administrative judge in Brooklyn, happened when she was transferred to the Bronx Supreme Court. Instead of sulking, she used the transfer as an opportunity to prove that she was ready for the job in Brooklyn. It ultimately got her the attention of Judge Judy, the famous TV judge who produces Justice DiMango’s show.

“Don’t focus on whether or not you have been slighted, because there is a good chance that you have been,” Justice DiMango joked. “My Bronx assignment could have been a disaster because on its face it was definitely not a favorable assignment. But I had a choice, and that was to view it as such or use it as an opportunity to make a name for myself.”

Branda, who was presented with the Wonder Woman Award by her law partner Frank Carone, the president of the Brooklyn Bar Association, was the first to be honored. She was followed by Judy Livingston and then Marianne Bertuna.

Continued from page C4 “We have taken different paths to get here,” Livingston said. “We have been tried and faced different challenges, but all of you honored here tonight are so deserving because we successfully faced those challenges and brought about the truth that we know. I applaud all of you.”

The other honorees included Lisa Marie Becker, Jennifer Bencivenga Mennella, Helene Blank, Grace Borrino, Carrie Anne Cavallo, Suzanne Corhan, Lucy DiSalvo, Rosemaria DeFrancisco, Fern Finkel, Susanne Gennusa, Yolanda Guadagnoli, Linda LoCascio, Natoya McGhie, Maritza Mejia-Ming, Laura Messiana, Joann Monaco, Rosa Pannitto, Holly Peck, Meryl Schwartz, Margaret Stanton, Mary Ann Stathopoulos, Diana Szochet and Joy Thompson.

“I have been blessed to be surrounded by powerful mentors from the time I was just a law student,” Bertuna said. “I’ve always been in awe of RoseAnn Branda and here she is nominating me for tonight’s award. When I saw the list of co-honorees, I realized how important this award is and it means so much to me.”

The nominees were all chosen by the various bar associations located in Brooklyn because of their distinguished careers and contributions to the bar and the legal community.

The money raised from the event is being donated to JALBCA, the Judges and Lawyers Breast Cancer Alert. Justices Marsha Steinhardt and Ellen Spodek were on hand and were thanked for their efforts in coordinating that effort.

By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn

You can walk from Boerum Hill to Brownsville. What a splendid slice of Brooklyn’s built environment.

If you move at a normal pace, you can complete this stroll in a single outing. It took me two days. I blame my slow speed on the fact that I photographed buildings on almost every block. A zookeeper I recently interviewed suggested my spirit animal is a sloth. (I’d always assumed it’s a tiger, which is my college’s mascot.)

Previously published Part One of my Bergen Street walk included Boerum Hill, Park Slope and Prospect Heights.

Today’s story is Part Two, which is about Crown Heights and the Ocean Hill section of Brownsville.

Bergen Street takes you past lovely Crown Heights homes, like this cluster of landmarked residences on the corner of New York Avenue.

On the northeast side of the intersection of Franklin Avenue and Bergen Street, which is outside the M-Crown district, oldfashioned rowhouses are eye-pleasers.

Between Grand and Franklin avenues, the north side of Bergen Street is a border of the proposed MAN EYE-CATCHING STATUE Crown district.

STROLL DOWN BERGEN STREET, PART TWO

Eye on

REAL ESTATE

— Continued from page 12INB — LANDMARKED CHURCHES Bergen Street passes into the landmarked part of Crown Heights North to the east of the intersection of Nostrand Avenue.

When you stand at that corner and look left up Nostrand Avenue, you’ll notice beautiful Bedford Central Presbyterian Church.

The congregation’s origins date back to the early 1850s.

The religious group affiliated with the Presbyterians in 1894, the church’s website says.

The brick and terra-cotta church building is Romanesque Revival in its architectural style. The original portion of the building was constructed around 1897 and an enlargement was constructed around 1906, a city Landmarks Preservation Commission historic-district designation report says.

When you keep walking, you’ll see Neo-Grec brownstones built in the 1870s and Romanesque-Revival rowhouses built in the 1880s.

One of the prettiest clusters of Romanesque Revival homes on this stroll can be found on the corner of Bergen Street and New York Avenue. An architect named Charles Infanger designed and built the row of five buildings, whose addresses are 124 to 132 New York Ave., a designation report notes.

(I’m not being specific about which designation report is which because there are three of them about different sections of Crown Heights North.)

On another Bergen Street and New York Avenue corner, you’ll see lovely brick-and-sandstone Union United Methodist Church and its school and parsonage. The complex has multiple addresses including 121 New York Ave. It was constructed between 1889 and 1891.

The church’s designer was J.C. Cady & Co., a firm that was considered a leader in the use of Romanesque-Revival architectural style back in the day, an LPC designation report says.

JULIET BALCONIES There are such lovely houses along there. For instance, as you walk between New York and Brooklyn avenues, you’ll see an unusual cluster of seven houses between 1187 and 1199 Bergen St. that was constructed in 1894.

It’s unusual because the bricks that the houses are made of are the color of limestone, and they’re paired with bands of actual limestone. The pale hues are pretty together, especially since the roofs are made of contrasting red-clay tiles. Architectural details like Juliet balconies and curved window bays are interspersed among the houses.

Albert E. White was the architect of this Romanesque-Revival grouping; John A. Bliss was the developer and original owner, a designation report says.

If I described every Crown Heights North Bergen Street house that pleased my eye, it would take you a year to read this story.

On the block between Brooklyn and Kingston avenues, flowers are still growing outside 1282 Bergen St. In 1898, F.K. Taylor designed and built the row next to it, which extends from 1284 to 1298 Bergen St. The facade of one house is vanilla-hued, another is strawberry-colored and a third is a deep shade of chocolate, a combination that calls to mind Neapolitan ice cream.

The Bergen block between Kingston and Albany avenues has a nice surprise to offer. Partway down the block, on the north side of the street, you find the entrance to Revere Place.

This is a landmarked street that runs for a single block between Bergen and Dean streets.

There are 24 houses on Revere Place. The developer of all the homes was John A. Bliss, whom I just mentioned. He built them in 1896 and 1897. Once again, he teamed up with architect Albert E. White.

This new development is 2178 Bergen St. at the corner of Mother Gaston Boulevard.

The houses’ style is a combination of Romanesque Revival and Renaissance Revival.

The landmarked part of Crown Heights North ends before the intersection of Albany Avenue.

WEEKSVILLE HERITAGE CENTER

You can see Weeksville Heritage Center’s historic houses through the fence on Bergen Street.

After you cross Troy Avenue, you’ll pass FDNY’s Rescue Company Number 2 firehouse at 1472 Bergen St. It stands beside a section of St. John’s Park called Buddy Keaton Fields.

Past the intersection of Schenectady Avenue, Tamra Teahouse at 1524 Bergen St. is a good spot to take a break. Eater NY calls the restaurant an “under-the-radar Crown Heights Asian-Afro gem.” The butternut squash curry is great, by the way.

After you pass the intersection of Rochester Avenue, you will find Weeksville Heritage Center.

Through a fence, you can see historic wood-frame houses from a community James Weeks established in 1838 for free, landowning African-Americans. The houses stand on a gravel path that’s a remnant of Hunterfly Road, which was a Native American trail and later a street in Weeksville.

You should plan a visit to Weeksville Heritage Center if you haven’t been there lately. I had the privilege of touring the houses last spring. It’s an extraordinary experience.

At that time, Weeksville Heritage Center was raising money through a CrowdRise donations campaign to avoid closing. The fund-raising effort was successful.

In June, thanks to elected officials’ advocacy, the city designated Weeksville Heritage Center as a member of its Cultural Institutions Group. This means the museum will receive unrestricted operating grants from the city Department of Cultural Affairs, which also will pay the heat, light and power bills.

On the far side of Buffalo Avenue, there’s one more Bergen Street block within the boundaries of Crown Heights. The barrelvaulted rowhouses on this block are eye-pleasers.

INBrooklyn photos by Lore Croghan

If you swing around the block to Howard Avenue, you will find that Bergen Street becomes accessible to the public once again. The block that begins here is full of beautiful, old-fashioned rowhouses.

“The Neighborhoods of Brooklyn,” a book edited by historians Kenneth Jackson and John Manbeck, identifies the neighborhood you’re now walking through as the Ocean Hill section of Brownsville.

At the next Bergen Street intersection, there’s a handsome 80-unit apartment complex that uses 331 Saratoga Ave. as its address. It was built a couple years ago.

Half the units are for very-low income and low-income tenants; the other half are studios for formerly homeless people.

Beyond the new apartment building, the rest of the Bergen Street block is filled with eye-pleasing rowhouses.

As Bergen Street proceeds towards Eastern Parkway Extension, the terrain becomes hilly, which makes sense given the neighborhood’s name.

Bergen Street ends nearby at East New York Avenue.

There, a new, 33-unit rental-apartment building is being developed. Seven of the apartments are affordable units for people who earn 40 percent of Area Median Income. This puts them in the category of very-low income tenants.

When you’ve finished your stroll, if you need a subway to get home, Broadway Junction is a few blocks away. The A, C, J, Z and L trains stop here.

OCEAN HILL

The church at left is beautiful Bedford Central Presbyterian Church.

Ralph Avenue is the border of Crown Heights.

When you reach the intersection, you might think this is the end of Bergen Street because you encounter a fenced-in compound.

The New York City Children’s Center is located behind the fence. It’s a State Office of Mental Health facility for children and teens, with an outpatient clinic, day-treatment programs and other helpful things.

Zachary Clark as Brick and Amanda McCallum as Maggie.

Provocative new production of “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof”

BY JOHN ALEXANDER JALEXANDER@ BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

B

ig Daddy and Maggie the Cat have come to Brooklyn in a provocative new production of “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” the iconic American play by Tennessee Williams. Performed by the Gallery Players and directed by Owen Thompson, the show offers a dynamic new vision of the captivating Pulitzer Prize winning classic.

“Blood pounds through the veins of this play as powerfully as any I can think of, and Tennessee Williams gives us some of his most vibrant characters with the matchless lyricism that made him — in my opinion — the greatest American playwright,” Thompson told this paper.

The cast includes veterans of Broadway and local actors performing in the scorching, hard-hitting drama from one of the 20th century’s greatest playwrights.

Amanda McCallum explained what inspired her to play the role of Maggie. “Maggie is one of the greatest creations ever written for the stage,” said McCallum. “It’s a dream role for actresses."

“What director wouldn’t want to get their hands on a play by Mr. Williams at the height of his powers?

And considering this play in 2019, one is struck by a new resonance,” said

Thompson. “The suffocating atmosphere of mendacity that poisons 1955 Mississippi in ‘Cat’ — a society built on slavery by white people blind to their privilege and who pathologically lie to themselves and each other — feels uncomfortably like the America in which we currently find ourselves.

“Playgoers who come to our production will experience one that embraces Mr. Williams’ rhapsodic tenderness without shying away from his lacerating view of what human beings are capable of at their lowest, his exploration of, as Mr. Williams himself put it, ‘the shocking duality of the human heart,’” Thompson added.

The play runs through Sunday, Nov. 10. Performances are Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8 p.m., Saturdays (November 2 and 9) at 2 p.m., and Sundays at 3 p.m. There will be an artist talk-back following the Sunday, Nov. 3 performance.

The Gallery Players is located at 199 14th St. (between Fourth and Fifth Avenues), in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Take the F, G, or R train to 4th Avenue/9th Street. Website: http:// galleryplayers.com.

Tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for seniors over 65 and children under 12. Tickets can be purchased online at galleryplayers.com or by calling Ovationtix at 212-352-3101.
