PEDESTRIANS AND BIKES WIN — Sweeping redesign for Downtown Brooklyn would improve cyclist and pedestrian safety: The Downtown Brooklyn Partnership has devised a plan to cut cars' access to the neighborhood and make pedestrian and cyclist safety a high priority. The not-for-profit local development corporation has unveiled its Public Realm Action Plan, which seeks solutions for snarled traffic and dangerous pedestrian crossings in Downtown Brooklyn's 240-acre core. The area is bounded by Atlantic Avenue, Tillary and Court streets and Ashland Place. The partnership, which devised the plan with architecture firm Bjarke Ingels Group and architecture and urban design firm WXY, intends to make Downtown Brooklyn "far more welcoming to pedestrians from its streets to its plazas to its parks," Downtown Brooklyn Partnership President Regina Myer said in a statement. "We want to go further than any business district in the city by reorienting streets away from cars and toward pedestrian, cyclist and mass-transit use." Visit brooklyneagle.com.

BBA hosts course on consumer debt and bankruptcy for the public

By Rob Abruzzese The Record

Last month, the Brooklyn Bar Association held a two-day continuing legal education seminar on bankruptcy updates for lawyers. It didn’t forget about the borough’s residents, though, and on Monday it held a seminar on bankruptcy for the general public as well.

Free and open to the public, the Brooklyn Bar Association’s Foundation Law Committee hosted “Consumer Debt and Bankruptcy: The Process, Defenses and Options” with attorneys Fern Finkel, chair of the committee, and Richard Klass.

“Rich Klass is an incredibly accomplished attorney who has been doing this program ever since the Foundation Law Committee started in 2010,” Finkel said. “He’s done this every single year.

“I send anyone I know in trouble with consumer debt or bankruptcy to Rich. There is a lot of misinformation out there.”

Klass, an attorney for 28 years and the second vice president of the BBA, went over consumer debt, including the process a typical consumer faces in collection proceedings, defenses available to debtors and the different types of bankruptcy available to them.

“Most of my practice involves litigation, including a lot of debt and creditor-related issues,” Klass said. “What I’ve found in my practice is that where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

People come to me with a credit card, or debt, and it tends not to be just one. People forget, they order their credit reports and they see something

they had forgotten because they hadn’t been contacted by those creditors.”

The events are typically small, and there were about 25 people in attendance on Monday, giving everyone plenty of time to pick Klass’ brain. For instance, one person came wondering how a potential inheritance could affect his or her bankruptcy claim.

“Most likely your inheritance will not come into play, but it could if you inherit within six months of filing for bankruptcy,” Klass said.

“If you consult with a lawyer, it’s usually something that they can help you with. The answer is that it depends.”

Klass handed out copies of his book, “Successfully Defending Your Credit Card Lawsuit” on Monday. He also gave out a lot of practical advice that he says will help avoid major issues.

“A very good idea that everyone should do is to pick a day on your calendar every year and check all three of your credit reports as housekeeping,” he said. “There are Experian, Equifax and Transunion. You should get all three, and you should go over them to make sure all of your information that is reported is accurate, because something like a third of credit reports contain inaccurate information that can severely affect your credit score.”

His last bit of advice is not to be afraid of bankruptcy. He said that he’s had clients adverse to the idea who tried in vain to pay off their debts, only to file down the road after they’ve spent a lot of money trying to get out of debt. He said that often it’s the only way to stop annoying collection calls.

Fern Finkel and Richard Klass hosted a seminar on consumer debt and bankruptcy that was free and open to the public. The Brooklyn Bar Association's Foundation Law Committee regularly hosts these kinds of know-your-rights seminars throughout the year.

“For the most part, when people file bankruptcy, their credit score goes up, not down,” Klass said. “The reason for that, even though it seems counterintuitive, is because before the bankruptcy, the debtor was laden with a lot of debt and no credit. After you file bankruptcy, you have no debt and you’re considered a better risk after.”

The Foundation Law Committee hosts anywhere from four to six similar seminars each year.

Last October, it hosted one on aging in the community. No date is set, but it should announce its next event, a landlord/tenant know-your-rights event, sometime in the next couple of weeks.

Gov. Cuomo supports court merger that a Brooklyn judge says will kill judicial independence

By Rob Abruzzese The Record

In his State of the State speech last Wednesday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo came out in support of Chief Judge Janet DiFiore’s proposal to merge New York’s courts, changing the system from an 11-tiered to a three-tiered one.

It’s the first time Cuomo has publicly addressed the issue, and while he didn’t get into specifics, he called the proposal “ambitious” and vowed to work with Chief Judge DiFiore to improve the efficiency, transparency and fairness of the court system.

“Gov. Cuomo’s commitment to support court consolidation comes as no surprise,” Chief Judge DiFiore said following the speech. “The governor works for the people, and our current trial court structure is simply not working for the people.”

Chief Judge DiFiore was nominated for her position by Cuomo in 2015 and officially became the chief judge after she was unanimously confirmed by the State Senate on Jan. 21, 2016.

To consolidate the courts, reducing the number from 11 to three, Chief Judge DiFiore’s proposal calls for the Court of Claims, Family Court, Surrogate’s Courts and the County Courts all to be merged into the Supreme Court. The proposal would also merge the Civil and Criminal courts, the district courts in Long Island and the 61 city courts in upstate New York into a single Municipal Court.

“The business community welcomes the governor’s support for reforms that will reduce delays and structural inefficiencies in the state’s court system. We encourage the legislature to adopt measures proposed by the chief judge in order to streamline the system,”

said Kathryn Wylde, president and CEO, Partnership for New York City.

The judges would still be chosen and appointed in the exact same ways. However, if the merger were to pass, it would make it easier for the Office of Court Administration (OCA) to move judges from one bench to another.

Currently, judges are moved around quite a bit. For instance, judges who are voted in locally to the Civil Court are almost always assigned to the Criminal Court, where they typically serve for at least two years before getting reassigned back to the Civil Court.

However, there are limitations and, for instance, Surrogate’s Court judges who are elected to that position will typically serve out the entirety of their term or retire.

Under the proposal, judges elected to Surrogate’s Court, which handles the estates of people who die without a will, among other things, could easily be reassigned by OCA.

The other major effect the merger would have is on the ability to appoint judges in the Appellate Division and Court of Appeals.

Currently, the governor is the one who appoints people to these positions, but they have to be chosen from the current group of elected Supreme Court judges. The proposal would increase the pool of candidates and essentially allow a governor the ability to hand-pick the judges who sit in the state’s top court.

This, as some see it, could end judicial independence in the state.

“The proposal would allow a governor to appoint non-elected judges to the appellate divisions and allow court administrators to reassign Supreme Court judges to districts and courts other than those the voters elected them to,” said Hon. Wayne Saitta, chair of the board of Supreme Court Justices of Kings County.

State AG Letitia James goes door-to-door to fight deed theft

By Noah Singer The Record

Attorney General Letitia James went door to door in Bedford-Stuyvesant on Saturday to warn homeowners of the dangers of deed theft and to kick off a campaign to battle housing fraud in New York City.

The new Protect Our Homes initiative includes the formation of an interagency task force to target housing schemes, along with an education program for community workers and a dedicated complaint process for victims.

Deed theft is a type of fraud in which scammers forge deeds or trick homeowners into signing their own away. The thieves then seek to evict the homeowners and sell the properties to third parties.

More than 200 local volunteers joined James and other city leaders on Saturday afternoon to knock on doors in Bed-Stuy, Prospect-Lefferts Gardens and Flatbush, alerting residents to the strategies of deed theft perpetrators.

A number of civic organizations were present at Saturday’s meeting, including the AARP, as deed thieves often target elderly or otherwise vulnerable homeowners. Elected officials present at the launch included Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, State Sen. Zellnor Myrie, State Sen. Kevin Parker, U.S. Rep. Yvette Clarke, Assemblymember Diana Richardson, Assemblymember Tremaine Wright, Councilmember Alicka Ampry-Samuel, Councilmember Robert Cornegy, Councilmember Farah Louis and State Comptroller Scott Stringer.

“There’s a significant number of vulnerable individuals who just don’t know where to go. And I want all of them to know that people care about them and that we are here to help.”

— NY ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA JAMES James visited homes on Macon Street, greeting residents who answered their doors and leaving educational flyers behind for others.

“There’s a significant number of vulnerable individuals who just don’t know where to go. And I want all of them to know that people care about them and that we are here to help,” said James.

Since 2014, James said, New York City has received at least 3,000 complaints about deed theft, 45 percent of which have come from Brooklyn. Currently, her office receives three to four reports of the crime each week.

The majority of the reports come from communities of color. In Brooklyn, those communities include Bed-Stuy, Flatbush, Canarsie and Prospect Lefferts Gardens, all of which are experiencing high levels of gentrification.

“For too many years, black homeowners have been targeted by unscrupulous players,” IMPACCT Brooklyn Director Bernell Grier said. “The initiative launched today by Attorney General James is a heroic and most needed effort to inform homeowners about deed theft and to provide tools to combat these scam artists and protect perhaps the greatest asset our families possess: our homes.”

Volunteers listen to instructions before departing to canvass.

The attorney general’s new task force brings together New York City district attorneys and the New York City Sheriff’s Office to coordinate law enforcement’s response to instances of real estate fraud.

Her initiative also includes plans to educate faith leaders, senior center workers, home health aides and others who regularly engage with potential victims of deed theft to identify warning signs and connect homeowners to service providers.

In communities that have experienced a history of systemic and systematic obstacles to the accumulation of generational wealth, loss of valuable real estate is especially devastating.

“Through tireless work and sacrifice, thousands of workers have purchased homes to provide security, invest in the future and build some generational wealth against all odds,” said Williams, the city’s public advocate. “This is the property of black folks, who are losing their homes.”

Recent legislation that takes on perpetrators of housing fraud includes a law sponsored by State Sen. Velmanette Montgomery and Assemblymember Helene Weinstein, and a Department of Financial Services investigation directed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Attorney General Letitia James displays an educational pamphlet about deed theft.

Though Saturday’s kickoff focused on deed theft, fraudulent real estate practices also include lien fraud and misuse of HPD’s Third Party Transfer program. The attorney general said her initiative will focus on all three.

“This is a warning to all those who think they can prey upon vulnerable populations and get away with it,” James said. “Deed theft is a heartless crime foisted upon people who worked all their lives to achieve a vital piece of the American Dream, only to have that dream become a nightmare.”

Attorney General Letitia James speaks to volunteer canvassers about her new initiative.

Gov. Cuomo supports court merger that a Brooklyn judge says will kill judicial independence Continued from page 2

“Currently, while the governor appoints the members of the appellate divisions, a governor can only appoint from elected Supreme Court justices, whom they have no role in electing,” Justice Saitta continued. “Under the consolidation proposal, a future governor could pack the appellate divisions, by filling the appellate divisions with judges whom they had appointed to the former Court of Claims.”

This sentiment has been echoed by other Supreme Court justices from around the state.

During the State Senate’s hearing on the merger, it became one of the major concerns outside of ensuring diversity in the courts.

“New York State judges are not OCA resources,” said Hon. Deborah Karalunas, who sits in the commercial division in Onondaga County, during a hearing on Nov. 21. “We are not OCA employees ... We are constitutional officers and our judicial independence from OCA, like the legislative and executive branches, is indispensable to our democracy and the people we serve.”

Most of the judges who have come out against the consolidation plan do not deny that the state’s court system can be difficult, but their claim is that many of the issues could be fixed by smaller bills passed by the legislature rather than a complete overhaul.

During that hearing, Chief Administrative Judge Lawrence Marks explained that the initial proposal was more of a draft to get a conversation started than what he and Chief Judge DiFiore expected would be the final result.

“We’re very interested in alternative sugges-

tions,” Justice Marks said. “The chief justice said, when this proposal was announced, that this is a draft proposal. We wanted to put something out to focus discussion on a particular proposal, but we said from the start nothing is carved in stone….

Undoubtedly, there will be changes. I’d be shocked if this thing sailed through. We see this as the beginning of the process.”

For the proposal to pass, it would have to be voted on by the state legislature twice, in 2020 and 2021, and then it would have to be put on the ballot as a public referendum.

Mayor Bill de Blasio announced the appointment of 28 judges to New York City’s Family, Criminal and Civil courts on Thursday, Jan. 3, including 10 new judges and 18 reappointments.

“These appointees will represent New Yorkers proudly and work tirelessly to provide oversight of our courts,” de Blasio said. “Their work is essential in ensuring that we are creating a fairer city for all.”

‘LOVE TRIANGLE’ REPORTEDLY LED TO DEATH IN CONEY

CONEY ISLAND — A man who had been stabbed several times as a result of a “love triangle” apparently tried to flag down passing cars before he eventually collapsed and died on a Coney Island street early Sunday morning, according to amNewYork. None of the drivers stopped to help the dying man, police said. James Santiago, 42, of the Bronx, was with a married woman at her home on West 15th Street when her husband reportedly walked in on them. The husband then stabbed Santiago several times in the torso, amNewYork reported. Officials say they are holding the wife as a person of interest for allegedly helping to drag the wounded man into the street when he was completely naked and then abandoning him. 

IMAGINING DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN WITHOUT BQE

DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — An op-ed in Streetsblog by Brooklyn-based urban designer Michael King criticizes current plans to rebuild the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway to accommodate repairs to its cantilevered section in Brooklyn Heights. He pointed out that some of the land beneath the BQE could be reclaimed for shopping, offices, housing and parkland. Without the highway, he said, neighborhood streets that once existed in longer versions, such as York and Duffield streets, could be rebuilt. Furthermore, he said, the approach to the Brooklyn Bridge, without the ramps to the BQE, could be rebuilt as a giant plaza. Rather than creating traffic jams, he believes, the removal of the highway would deter traffic in general. 

TIMES GIVES KUDOS TO GREENPOINT RESTAURANT

GREENPOINT — A New York Times review of Pierozek, a new Polish restaurant in Greenpoint, focuses, appropriately, on its pierogi, which are dumplings filled in this case with butter, fried onions, potatoes and cheese. Radek Kucharski, one of the owners, says many second- and third-generation families of Eastern European immigrants come to Pierozek because they are “in love with the taste and memories that we bring them.” Kucharski, who was born in Brooklyn, co-owns the restaurant with his wife Alexandra, who was born in Brooklyn to a Polish family. The Times review also mentions the meat version of pierogi, which contains pork shoulder; the sauerkraut-and-mushroom version; and the sweet version, which contains cheese and fresh berries.

Beat the winter blues with a stroll in landmarked Brooklyn Heights Do you know the way to Love Lane?

By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn

Hey. All of you who are fighting the January doldrums and wishing Valentine’s Day would get here to cheer you up. Did you know that Love Lane is a real street?

It’s in the middle of Brooklyn Heights, in the oldest historic district in all of New York City. What a fine place to take a loved one for a stroll.

So yeah, there’s a CVS at the entrance to Love Lane as opposed to some romantic, candle-lit cafe where you can sip champagne together. But the drugstore is situated in a sweet little brick house with shutters on the windows.

And Love Lane leads to College Place, which is one of the prettiest streets in Brooklyn Heights. That’s saying a lot in a neighborhood full of landmarked homes built before the Civil War. Do you know the way to Love Lane? Let me show you. It’s part of today’s stroll through the north side of Brooklyn Heights.

I promise we’ll walk around the rest of the neighborhood on another occasion.

To get to Brooklyn Heights, you can take the 2, 3, 4, 5 or R train to the Borough Hall stop or the A or C train to the High Street/Brooklyn Bridge/Cadman Plaza East stop.

You’ll wind up on the corner of Court and Montague streets, or a couple blocks away, depending on which train line you take.

A walk around landmarked Brooklyn Heights should help you beat the winter blues. This lovely street is College Place. Below: Beautiful brownstones line this block of Pierrepont Street. INBrooklyn photos by Lore Croghan

Just like Romeo and Juliet When you walk down Montague Street, one of the most eyecatching things you’ll see is a pair of century-old bank branches on the corner of Clinton Street. Both of them are city-designated landmarks. Both were constructed in an era when bank designs were invariably grand and regal. One is meant to look like a palace and the other a temple.

Architecture firm York & Sawyer designed the Brooklyn Trust Company Building, which is directly on the corner at 177 Montague St. It is now a Chase Bank branch.

It’s modeled on a palazzo in Verona, which is of course Romeo and Juliet’s hometown while we’re on the subject of Valentine’s Day and Love Lane.

You must take a minute to step inside the neo-Italian Renaissance-style bank. This gives you a reason to stand on its front steps and get a close look at the Instagram-worthy lampposts on either side of the entrance door. The bases of the lamps feature big winged lions and little tortoises.

Then when you step inside, you will find a landmarked interior, which is a rare thing in Brooklyn. This banking hall has a vaulted ceiling, super-dramatic chandeliers, vast arched windows and an elaborately patterned mosaic floor.

Herman Behr House The second bank property, whose address is 181-183 Montague St., is the People’s Trust Company Building. It looks like a Classical temple, with a row of columns outside the front entrance and above them, a triangular pediment with fabulous sculptural figures.

Architecture firm Mowbray & Uffinger designed the neoClassical building, which was constructed from 1903 to 1906. It is now a Citibank branch.

From here on out, most of the neighborhood falls within the boundaries of the Brooklyn Heights Historic District. Entire blocks are landmarked.

Turn up Clinton Street to the corner of Pierrepont Street, and you’ll find one of Brooklyn Heights’ most dramatic buildings.

The Brooklyn Historical Society, designed by architect George Browne Post, was constructed in 1881. The Queen Anne-style brick building’s facade is decorated with terra-cotta busts of famous folk including Shakespeare and Beethoven.

Turn left on Pierrepont Street, which has stately brownstones.

There’s an eye-catching Beaux-Arts apartment house at the intersection of Henry Street. Kitty-corner from this apartment house, whose address is 161 Henry St., you’ll find Herman Behr House.

This Romanesque Revival mansion’s address is 82 Pierrepont St. Frank Freeman was the architect. It’s currently used as an apartment building. Over the decades, it has by turns been a hotel, and belonged to a monastery, and reportedly housed a brothel.

Picturesque College Place Head up Henry Street. And in short order, you’ll be at the entrance to Love Lane. Cupid’s favorite Brooklyn street is one block long. In the middle of it, you turn right onto scenic cul-de-sac College Place.

One side of College Place is lined with painted brick carriage houses with arched garage doors and shutters on the windows.

Head back out onto Love Lane, which exits onto Hicks Street.

The brownstones on Hicks Street are really something. If you’re in the mood to look closely at architectural details, there are Tudor-style doorways on side-by-side homes 131 and 135 Hicks St., Clay Lancaster’s “Old Brooklyn Heights: New York’s First Suburb” says.

Hello Kitties: Winged lions form the base of a lamppost at Montague Street’s Chase Bank branch.

Here’s an iconic Promenade view of the World Trade Center and other Lower Manhattan skyscrapers.

BEAT THE WINTER BLUES WITH A STROLL IN LANDMARKED BROOKLYN HEIGHTS — Continued from page 2 INB — By the way, this is the book version of building-by-building historical research that Lancaster did, which neighborhood residents used in their successful efforts to get the city to create the Brooklyn Heights Historic District in 1965.

If you need caffeine as you head up Hicks Street, you’ll find Joe Coffee Company in the storefront of a beautiful apartment building on the corner of Pineapple Street. Right next door to the apartment building, a lovely carriage house at 31 Pineapple St. is sure to catch your eye.

Let it rain In 2014, when Steven Spielberg was filming “Bridge of Spies,” he temporarily turned the storefront where the coffee shop is now located into a 1950s dress shop. As a crowd of Brooklyn Heights residents watched, Spielberg

used an enormous machine to pour simulated rain on this intersection — and actor Tom Hanks.

Further up Hicks Street, take a quick detour onto Orange Street to see Plymouth Church, which was founded in 1847. Eminent abolitionist Henry Ward Beecher was the preacher there. His statue is on the church lawn.

When you’re back on Hicks Street, keep walking.

On the corner of Cranberry Street you’ll find a beautiful house constructed in 1829.

The corner storefront is home to Jack the Horse Tavern, whose address is 66 Hicks St. Beloved wood-frame houses are sprinkled here and there on these blocks on the north end of Brooklyn Heights. Turn left on Middagh Street, and you’ll find them on both sides of the road as you head towards the corner of Willow Street.

Cher’s ‘Moonstruck’ house On that corner, you’ll find 24 Middagh St. This Federalstyle gray clapboard home has crimson-colored window shutters and a backyard with a carriage house.

This eye-catching abode is nicknamed “the Queen of Brooklyn Heights Houses.”

Accounts of its age differ.

Some people think it has been around since 1790. Lancaster’s book says it was constructed in 1829.

When you face the opposite direction on this Middagh Street corner, you’re overlooking the BQE. And beyond the highway, you see the top floors of Panorama, the office complex at 25 Columbia Heights that was formerly the world headquarters of the Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Remember the movie “Moonstruck,” which won Cher an Oscar for Best Actress?

Her house in the film is on another Willow Street corner, at 19 Cranberry St. The brick house has a small plaque on the front of it that gives the year of its construction as 1833.

The unpainted brick, which is what you now see, is red.

Continue down Willow Street. You’ll soon pass a fabulous 1920s hotel that was called The Towers. The toppaid Brooklyn Dodgers stayed there back when they were our borough’s baseball team.

The property, whose address is 21 Clark St., later belonged to the Jehovah’s Witnesses. It’s now being turned into a rental building

for seniors called The Watermark at Brooklyn Heights, with a mix of independent-living units, assisted-living units and memory-care units for residents with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.

The Promenade’s epic views Further down Willow Street, there’s a home where playwright Arthur Miller lived.

The Federal-style rowhouse at 155 Willow St. was constructed in the 1820s.

At the corner of Pierrepont Street, turn right. In just a minute, you’ll reach an entrance to the Promenade.

The fate of the landmarked walkway hangs in limbo while a panel studies ways to repair the BQE beneath it. My colleague Mary Frost is keeping

everybody up to speed on this complex topic.

For a moment, set the subject of the BQE aside and simply take in the views that the famous esplanade offers.

There’s the World Trade Center with other Lower Manhattan skyscrapers. In the near distance, a new grass berm is taking shape at Brooklyn Bridge Park. To the north, the Brooklyn Bridge stretches across the East River.

On the Promenade’s inland side, the backs of Columbia Heights brownstones brighten up the scenery.

If you’ve taken your walk late enough in the afternoon, you’ll be right on time to see the sunset, which is always a thing of beauty. If it’s too early, you could go get a bite to eat on Montague Street.

Truman Capote lived on Willow St. Literature lovers appreciate Willow Street because Truman Capote lived on it when he worked on “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and “In Cold Blood.”

The house at 70 Willow St., where the author lived in a basement apartment from 1955 to 1965, belonged to Broadway set designer and American Ballet Theatre codirector Oliver Smith.

Visitor guides like the one on NYC & Company’s website say the Greek Revivalstyle house’s facade is yellow.

But when the current owners renovated it a few years ago, the city Landmarks Preservation Commission gave them permission to remove the paint from the facade. of January 16, • INBROOKLYN — A Special Section of Brooklyn Eagle/HeightsPress/Home Press/HomeReporter/Brooklyn Reporter/BrooklynSpectator/Brooklyn Spectator/BrooklynRecord/Greenpoint Record/Greenpoint Gazette Gazette •• 3INB 3INB January 16 – January 22, 2020 Week • INBROOKLYN — A2020 Special Section of Brooklyn Daily Eagle/Brooklyn Eagle/Heights

Want to hunt dinosaurs without leaving Brooklyn? In Gowanus, you can At Gotham Archery in Gowanus, archers can brush up on their hunting skills or just aim at foam animal targets for fun when the winter weather keeps them inside. Each animal (right) is given a different point amount.

At the end of the night, the shooters tally their point totals and are added to a leader board.

The face of concentration that comes with preparing to let loose an arrow.

By Paul Frangipane Brooklyneagle.com

A raccoon stands atop a trash mound, surrounded by rats. A black widow hangs feet away from a turkey, and a ram shares a perch with a Tyrannosaurus rex. An arrow whizzes through the air and pierces the abdomen of a foam deer, which shakes back and forth before it regains its footing on a wooden stand.

This isn’t a hunting ground — it’s a Gowanus archery studio, which transforms into a faux hunting range on the first Saturday of every month.

With a relatively short hunting season in New York, bow hunters take to events like Gotham Archery’s 3D Hunt to brush up on their skills alongside archers who are just shooting to switch up the monotony of aiming at paper targets.

“It’s much, much more difficult than shooting in one distance,” said Oleg Vykrest, who started shooting three years ago with his now 12-year-old son, as a way to focus his son’s weakening vision.

In Gotham’s main room, archers stand in a line in front of a field of more than 30 animal targets, each with different point values. Some shoot at 3D targets from stepladders, while others sit down in fake shrubbery and aim at others. At the end of the night, they tally up their point totals to be added to a leader board.

Three-D archery is typically shot outdoors and is a national tournament, said Gotham manager Pat Carroll, but in Brooklyn, it’s easier to find opportunities to shoot inside.

The majority of the studio’s clientele just shoots 3D for fun.

“Normally, I shoot bare bow, which means I shoot traditionally, without a sight or anything like that, and shooting 3D at different

distances with bare bow is a real challenge,” said Nelson Wong, who shoots as often as he possibly can. “It’s a lifestyle, it’s a sport, it’s exercise … eat, sleep, archery.”

Once every quiver is empty after a round of shooting, the archers retrieve their arrows, sometimes getting help to pull them out of the foam models. If an arrow is so deep it won’t budge, a special tool is brought out to remove it.

The hunts typically attract between 15 and 20 people for a night, Carroll said. But regulars like Martin Fuchs, who has yet to shoot 3D, also come out just to spend time in the social environment.

“For me, archery is almost like therapy,” Fuchs said. “It’s very relaxing, it’s very calming, it’s how I can shut off my brain.”

Archers stand at a line in the back of the room and aim at different 3D targets in front of them.

ABOVE: Arrows are often so deep into the foam animals that the archers have difficulty removing them. LEFT: The event attracts a wide range of ages in participants.

Catholic School Reimagined St. Ephrem Catholic Academy may not quite be the kind of Catholic School you remember. We pride ourselves on our progressive ideas in education while honoring our rich history and tradition. As our neighborhood has changed so we have changed with it. Our new academy has the foundational instruction in traditional academic subjects along with modernized learning techniques and technologies to help our students grow.

Catholic Schools Week is a chance to highlight all of the great things that make Catholic education an important institution in our great city. An education at St. Ephrem Catholic Academy will not only give students an understanding in the foundations of language through the study of Latin and Greek Roots, but also prepare them for tomorrow’s world by teaching them in technology they will find most useful in their future endeavors.

A great addition to our school this year has been our Digital Art classes. Here students learn to use modern iterations of Photoshop and Illustrator giving them the tools to succeed in High School and beyond allowing for the creative spirit to support the academic mind. The education of the whole child is at the heart of our mission. From weekly physical education classes to weekly Mass, our students are given the gift of a well-rounded education in a day and age where other schools are cutting programs.

From the most talented and gifted students to those with special needs, we make it our goal to reach every child. Our Catholic faith and tradition give each of our students the education they deserve at a price that is affordable. As the Catholic Schools Week motto, Learn, Serve, Lead, Succeed, states our school serves all to succeed in whatever world they wish to make.

Please come visit our St. Ephrem Catholic Academy at 924 74th street Brooklyn, NY 11228 and see how we can best serve your child at our open house on January 26th following the 10 am Mass.

Navy Supply System. Loving wife of the late Lawrence. Beloved mother of Laurene Duggan (Kenneth), Patricia Harner (the late William) and Linda Amato.

BY JOHN ALEXANDER COM

If ever a clergy member’s ministry embodied the essence of faith in Brooklyn, it was Father Joseph Gancila, who died on Monday, Jan. 6, at the age of 50. After stints in churches throughout the borough, the beloved priest was serving as a parochial vicar at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in Dyker Heights at the time of his death.

Gancila was born in Brooklyn and attended the parish school at Regina Pacis and Xaverian High School. He was ordained a priest of the Diocese of Brooklyn on June 2, 2001.

In addition to his most current assignment, during his career, he served as a parochial vicar at St. Mary Mother of Jesus in Bensonhurst, Sacred Heart in Glendale, Our Lady of Angels in Bay Ridge and St. Bernadette in Dyker Heights.

Gancila was remembered

by Msgr. Kieran Harrington, the vicar for communication for the Diocese of Brooklyn, as the quintessential parish priest. Harrington knew Gancila for 22 years and was also a classmate of his at the seminary. “This is a man who loved being a priest in every ounce of his being,” Harrington told this paper.

“He recorded in his own hand the names of every person he ever offered a Mass for or prayed for over the course of his 19 years as a priest. There were volumes and volumes of diaries listing those names,”

C.J.M. CONTRACTING INC. CHRIS MULLINS

ON JAN. 14, 1929, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported, “Los Angeles (AP) — Another of the Old West’s links with the glamorous past is gone in the passing here of Wyatt Earp, gun fighter, whose blazing six-shooters, notched a dozen times, were for most of his life allied on the side of law and order. Although Earp majored in gun fighting and adventure, his one contact with pugilism brought him unforgettable renown. Earp’s so-called ‘raw’ decision in the Bob Fitzsimmons-Tom Sharkey fight in San Francisco, Dec. 2, 1896, when he awarded the fight to Sharkey on a foul in the eighth round, caused a roar that reverberated through the boxing world for years and excited as much comment in its day as the long count given Gene Tunney at Chicago in 1927. Part of Earp’s life after he had laid aside his guns, which spoke often in the wild and woolly days of Dodge City and Ellsworth, Kan., and Tombstone, Ariz., ran parallel with that of Tex Rickard, and a last vain effort to send a word of cheer to his friend the promoter contributed to his death. Although he had been ill for some time, Earp left his bed here the day before Rickard died to send a telegram to his sick friend in Florida. The exertion caused a relapse and Earp died yesterday at the age of 80.”  ON JAN. 14, 1952, the Eagle reported, “A twin-engine Northeast Airlines plane, with 36 aboard, undershot the LaGuardia Field runway in the fog early today and plunged into the East River. At least 28 persons were injured. All passengers and crew members were rescued. Eyewitnesses reported that about 9 a.m. the plane, arriving from Boston, ‘sputtered’ and dived into the murky water about 1,000 feet from the field. A crash boat and a commercial tug were the first to arrive on the scene. Martin Byrne, 44, of 7522 Ridge Boulevard, aboard the tug, said the passengers lined the wings and tail assembly of the sinking airliner waving for help. Police, Coast Guard and Navy rescue facilities were rushed to the area and victims were taken to Flushing, Queens General and Mary Immaculate Hospitals in Queens and others were sent to Fordham Hospital in the Bronx. Police Commissioner George P. Monaghan, who directed police rescue operations at the emergency station at the foot of 14th Ave., College Point, said he was sure all passengers were removed from the plane. Joseph Amico, 27, of Mount Vernon, who operated the crash boat at the scene, took 25 persons from the sinking plane and transferred them to the nearby tug. ‘There was no screaming, no panic,’ he said, ‘although some of the passengers seemed to be suffering from shock.’”
