JUDGE TO RESPONDENTS IN CROWN HEIGHTS DEVELOPMENT HEARING, ‘YOU’RE ON NOTICE.’: In this courtroom sketch, Hon. Reginald Boddie presided over an emergency hearing on Thursday, March 5 in the case of Boyd v. Cumbo, et al. Alicia Boyd (standing) is a pro se petitioner in an action against the parties involved with advancing a controversial Crown Heights development project, completion of which she contends threatens to cast shadows that will adversely affect the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Boyd, a neighborhood resident and community activist, stood between fellow petitioners LaShaun Ellis (left) and Michael Hollingsworth (right), as she alleged that the court's temporary restraining order prohibiting further excavation at the site had been violated. The judge personally inspected the site the day before the hearing and ordered the respondents to replace the disturbed soil. The parties reconvened Monday, March 9, at which point, the representatives for the developers requested three weeks to meet the judge's order and city environmental standards. The judge, however, adjourned the proceeding only until March 23, advising the respondents that he expects full compliance by that time, including filling the excavated hole to bring the soil back to ground level. He also put the respondents on notice that failure to comply could result in them incurring fines of tens of thousands of dollars per day in violation of that deadline.In attendance were attorneys for the respondent developers and from the New York City Law Department.

KCCBA to honor Judge Ruth Shillingford and others at annual dinner By Rob Abruzzese The Kings County Criminal Bar Association announced that it will honor Judge Ruth Shillingford and three others during its annual dinner, to be held at Giando on the Water in Williamsburg on April 25. Shillingford, the immediate past president of the Judicial Friends Association, will be given the Gustin Reichbach Judicial Recognition Award.

The other honorees include past President Jay Schwitzman, who will be given the Person of the Year Award; Assistant District Attorney Michelle Kaminsky, who will be given the Robert Kaye Memorial Award; and Ariadne Sigault, a court clerk for Justice Matthew D’Emic, administrative judge of the Kings County Supreme Court, Criminal Term. Judge Shillingford, a Georgetown University of Law graduate, is a former assistant district

attorney in Manhattan. She was the assistant deputy court attorney in the Appellate Division, First Department, before she became a judge of the Kings County Criminal Court in 2003 when she was appointed by Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Schwitzman, a graduate of SUNY Stony Brook and Quinnipiac School of Law, has been a defense attorney in the borough for more than three decades. He was the president of the KCCBA from 2013 until 2015

and has long been credited with reviving the bar association that had struggled with attendance prior to his turn at the helm. The KCCBA’s annual dinner brings together all the different factions of the local criminal justice community including district attorneys, legal aid lawyers, criminal defenders and judges. The event usually also includes the president — this year, Christopher Wright — giving out plaques to retiring judges.

Hon. Ruth Shillingford, the immediate past president of the Judicial Friends Association, will be one of KCCBA honorees.

Jay Schwitzman’s energy and passion helped reinvigorate the KCCBA when he took it over in 2013.

Ariadne Sigault, court clerk for Justice Matthew D'Emic, was named Supreme Court Employee of the Year in 2016.

Abrams Fensterman, Brooklyn’s largest law firm, continues to expand By Rob Abruzzese The Record

The borough’s largest law firm keeps getting bigger. Abrams Fensterman announced last month that it had added several attorneys as it bulks up its criminal defense and insurance defense practice groups. Glenn Jones, who served for eight years as the special assistant attorney general for the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit of the New York State Attorney General’s Office, will be a partner in Abrams Fensterman’s health care fraud and white-collar criminal defense group. The firm also added seven attorneys, two partners and five associates plus support staff on a team led by Randy Faust, to expand its

insurance defense practice. “Today’s complex health care environment necessitates that providers, executives and institutions have access to the very best specialized legal counsel,” said Patrick Formato, executive partner and director of the health law practice group at Abrams Fensterman. “Glenn offers our clients such advice and valuable insight, informed by his significant experience and impressive career.” “Randy has a remarkable depth and breadth of experience that adds tremendous capabilities to our expanding insurance defense practice as well as our Brooklyn office, which remains the sole powerhouse law firm in the borough,” said Managing

Partner Howard Fensterman. Abrams Fensterman, which is located in MetroTech Center in Downtown Brooklyn, is run by Brooklyn Bar Association President Frank Carone and Executive Partners Robert Abrams, RoseAnn Branda and Ethan Gerber. It also has offices in Long Island, Manhattan, Rochester and White Plains. Jones was added for his experience handling federal, state and local regulatory enforcement, criminal and civil matters, a spokesperson said. He has handled cases from investigation to trial related to health care fraud, waste and abuse, white-collar crime and regulatory compliance issues. Faust and Kristina Milone also bring trial experience to the insurance fraud group and

specialize in special investigation unit matters. Faust is a former Manhattan assistant district attorney who handled the largest property damage insurance fraud case ever handled in the U.S. Milone served as deputy county attorney in the Nassau County Attorney’s Office and clerked for Hon. Jerold Carter in the Nassau County Criminal Court. “Abrams Fensterman’s success in Brooklyn reflects our early recognition of the borough’s upward trajectory,” said Carone, who has led the Brooklyn office since 2012. “This same foresight prompted us to bring in Randy and his team — a group expertly equipped to meet the needs of our insurance industry clients.”

BBA trustee Pauline Yeung honored with pro bono award By Rob Abruzzese The Record

The Asian American Bar Association of

New York (AABANY) held its annual

awards dinner in Manhattan on Wednesday, Feb. 26, drawing a crowd of more than 700 people including federal and state court judges. The honorees this year included Hon. Sri Srinivasan, a Court of Appeals judge for the District of Columbia, who received the Public Interest Leadership Award; Alan Tse, the global chief legal officer at Jones Lang LaSalle Inc, who received the Corporate Leadership Award; Yen Chu, the chief legal officer at Equinox Holdings Inc, who received the Women’s Leadership Award; and the law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, which received the Law Firm Diversity Award. “Judge Sri Srinivasan, Alan Tse and Yen Chu are all highly respected trailblazers with distinguished careers,” said Brian Song, president of AABANY. “Each has achieved tremendous professional success in their respective fields while making significant contributions to the legal profession and the community. We are proud to recognize and celebrate their achievements and contributions at our 2020 annual dinner.” On hand during the dinner was Hank Greenberg, president of the New York State Bar Association, who presented AABANY with the Leaders Innovation Award for the Pro Bono Legal Advice and Referral Clinic. To accept the award was Pauline Yeung, a trustee of the Brooklyn Bar Association, who assists AABANY’s Pro Bono and Community Service Committee. The NYSBA award is “presented in statewide recognition of local, minority, ethnic, specialty, special purpose bar associations ... for outstanding service to the public and the profession through innovative projects and programs that serve to enhance public understanding of the law, advance and promote the work of the legal profession and support the best interests of the public.” Yeung helps to operate AABANY’s Pro Bono Legal Advice and Referral Clinic, a volunteer-driven project that serves the Asian Pacific American community, specifically those with limited English proficiency, and provides access to justice. The clinic, which operates in Bay Ridge on the last Thursday of every other month, was created in December 2015 and has grown in its operations, visibility and impact on the local Asian Pacific American communities ever since. “I am deeply gratified that the AABANY Pro Bono Clinic is being honored with a NYSBA Bar Leaders Innovation Award,” Song said. “From its inception, the Pro Bono Clinic has made a positive impact on the community and provided a meaningful opportunity for our members to give back.

Uncontested divorce pilot program coming to Brooklyn in the spring TurboTax-like software is expected to make divorces much easier in New York

By Rob Abruzzese The Record

A judge from Brooklyn is trying to make uncontested divorces as easy as using TurboTax, and the borough is going to be one of four counties where a pilot program will be tested out this spring. Hon. Jeffrey Sunshine, the statewide coordinating judge for matrimonial cases, is trying to streamline uncontested divorces, which he says will also make them more affordable and humane. The idea is to consolidate all of the forms necessary for uncontested divorces in the state and to put them on one easy-to-use piece of software.

“The goal of the pilot program is to work out the kinks and eventually have an automated program similar to TurboTax,” Sunshine said at a Brooklyn Bar Association meeting on Monday. “Right now, the process is expensive and we think this will be the beginning of a reformation of how we handle uncontested divorces in the state. We just need to work out some of the kinks before it goes statewide. “This statute will eliminate many, many forms and everything is in one document,” he added. In addition to Kings County, Westchester, Broome and Ontario counties will also be involved in the pilot. An official date

hasn’t been announced yet, but Chief Judge Janet DiFiore confirmed during her State of the Judiciary speech on Wednesday that it will eventually be implemented. “Judge Sunshine saw an opportunity to greatly simplify the legal process for couples jointly filing for an uncontested divorce on no-fault grounds — a large percentage of the 40,000-plus uncontested divorces filed in our Supreme Court across the state,” Chief Judge DiFiore said in her speech. “Judge Sunshine consolidated a multitude of uncontested divorce forms and pleadings into two basic documents: a Joint Affidavit of Facts and Agreement, and a Combined Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law and Judgment.” Since becoming the statewide coordinating judge, Justice Sunshine has pushed for

programs to make going to divorce court easier. In 2018, he announced that the Brooklyn matrimonial court would be the first one to participate in a mandatory mediation program that eventually spread to civil courts throughout the state. Justice Sunshine said that prior to the pilot being rolled out, there will be training sessions to get attorneys up to speed so they can best help their clients seeking divorce. The stated goal is to have the program go statewide by the first half of 2021. “The streamlined joint uncontested divorce forms will reduce confusion and paperwork and save litigants and lawyers countless hours of time,” Chief Judge DiFiore said. “Thank you, Judge Sunshine, for easing frustration and expense for thousands of our litigants.”

Former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara to deliver commencement address at Brooklyn Law School By Rob Abruzzese The Record

When this year’s class of Brooklyn Law School graduates attend commencement this May, it will be treated to a speech by Preet Bharara, the former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York. It will be the 119th commencement in the school’s history and it will take place at the Ford Amphitheater in Coney Island on Friday, May 15. Bharara served as the U.S. attorney from 2009 until he was fired by President Donald Trump in 2017 when he refused to resign. He will be given an honorary doctor of laws degree by BLS Dean Michael Cahill. Bharara gained notice when he was investigating Gov. Andrew Cuomo for ethics violations and at one point teased, “Stay tuned,” a hint about a possible indictment, before he was fired. Later, that line became the name of his popular podcast, “Stay Tuned with Preet,” that focuses on issues of justice and fairness. Bharara also handled lots of other cases involving terrorism, narcotics, arms trafficking, financial and health care fraud, cybercrime, public corruption, gang violence, organized crime and civil rights violations. Bharara graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College and got his J.D. from Columbia Law School where he was a member of the law review. He is also author of the best-selling book “Doing Justice: A Prosecutor’s Thoughts on Former U.S. Attorney for the SDNY Preet Bharara, pictured here, left, at a South Asian Bar Association of New York event, will be this year’s commencement speaker at Brooklyn Law School in May.

News From Your Neighborhood CHIEF LIBRARIANS CALL FOR AMNESTY ON KIDS’ FINES

Spencer Dinwiddie points the way to victory for Brooklyn after the Nets’ stunning win over LeBron James and the Lakers Tuesday night in Los Angeles.

CITYWIDE — Brooklyn Public Library President Linda Johnson recently joined library leaders from Queens and Manhattan to call for new funding that would grant amnesty to thousands of children and teens who have racked up fees and fines for overdue books, according to the Brooklyn Eagle website. According to librarians, most of those fines are concentrated in the city’s neediest neighborhoods. “There are families who refuse to even use the library for fear of accumulating fines,” wrote New York Public Library President Anthony Marx. BPL and the Queens and Manhattan systems gave kids a one-time amnesty in 2017. According to Marx, about 11,000 kids and teens who previously were blocked from borrowing books because of fines rekindled their relationship with the library within one month of having their fines waived. 

REAL ESTATE OPEN HOUSES CALLED OFF DUE TO VIRUS

CITYWIDE — Some New York City real estate brokers have called off open houses because of fear of the coronavirus, according to Bloomberg News. “If the coronavirus for some reason — and I hope it doesn’t — goes out of control and New York City faces drastic increases in the virus, that may have a chilling effect,” said Fritz Frigan, executive director of sales and leasing at Halstead, who compiles a weekly index of open house activity across the five boroughs. Frigan told Bloomberg News that his office has even seen a potential seller who was on the fence about whether even to list a property out of concern about having visitors come look at it. 

KPF DESIGNS RENOVATIONS TO RED HOOK HOUSES

RED HOOK — Architecture firm Kohn Pedersen Fox has designed the redevelopment of a public housing complex in Red Hook that was ravaged by Superstorm Sandy eight years ago. Thousands of residents of NYCHA’s Red Hook Houses were left without power and access to supplies for more than two weeks following Sandy, according to dezeen, an architecture and design website. KPF’s scheme involves a resiliency and renewal program designed to lessen the community’s vulnerability to natural disasters. The measures include a series of raised flood barriers, an above-ground boiler plant and more, dezeen reported. 

THREE-STORY CONDO BUILDING IN RED HOOK NEARS COMPLETION

RED HOOK — Construction is nearing completion at 730 Hicks St., a three-story condo development in Red Hook, according to New York YIMBY. The building is slated to contain 15 residences, 10 parking spaces, basement-level storage and gardens surrounding the property. The building is being developed by Shiraz Saujana and is designed by Marie Architects. 

NEW HOTEL PLANNED FOR 86TH ST. IN BAY RIDGE

BAY RIDGE — Permits have been filed for a six-story hotel at 634 86th St. in Bay Ridge, on the current site of an auto dealership and lot, according to New York YIMBY. The lot, at the intersection of Battery Avenue and 86th Street, is a short walk to the R train’s 86th Street subway station. Xiaojun Chen, under the name Sunshine Brooklyn LLC, is listed as the developer, and Wu Chen of JWC Architect Engineer is listed as the architect. The proposed development would have 76 rooms, a rear yard and eight enclosed parking spaces. Demolition permits for the auto lot were filed last June. 

NEW BAR EMPHASIZES WINE AND CURED MEATS

PROSPECT-LEFFERTS GARDENS — And Sons, which Gothamist describes as “an American ham (and wine) bar,” opened about six weeks ago in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, according to the website. It is owned by former waitress Phoebe Damrosch and former sommelier Andre Hueston Mack, and it is named for the couple’s four sons. Mack told Gothamist that he was inspired during trips to Spain and Italy, where such spots are much more common. “The heart of the And Sons experience,” said Gothamist, “is the sliced-to-order selection of country-styled cured hams.” Both the wines and the hams are mainly from the continental United States. 

his shoulder to make sure no one was there, he hurled an unknown object at the windshield, the footage shows. He then ran up and started rapidly punching the car window. Finally, he whacked the passenger’s-side mirror. He is described as a man in his 30s with a beard and was last seen wearing a bright green sweater, blue jeans and brown shoes. 

BROOKLYN ARTIST VISITS GALLERY IN BINGHAMTON

BOROUGHWIDE — Brooklyn artist Jenny Morris visited the Memory Maker Gallery in Binghamton to showcase her own artwork as well as artwork created by people who suffer from memory loss, according to Fox 40, a local channel in Binghamton. Morris spent months working with people who suffer from conditions such as Alzheimer’s to further her thesis about the relationship between memory and art. “We can’t have propriety over this idea of doing art with people with dementia,” said Christina Muscatello, co-founder of the Memory Maker Project. “The idea of the residency really grew out of the idea that we need to continue giving a voice to people with dementia.” 

MOVIE’S NOODLE DISH IS A HIT IN KOREAN RESTAURANTS

DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — Ram-don, a noodle dish that was essentially invented for the South Korean movie “Parasite,” has become a hit in the city’s Korean restaurants, according to New York Eater. The name ram-don is an amalgamation of ramen and udon, two types of low-cost noodles, which are combined to make a cheaper meal more interesting. Esther Choi, chef and owner of the Brooklyn restaurant Mokbar at 212 Flatbush Ave., says she makes her own noodles to serve in the dish because it “wouldn’t make sense” to serve instant ramen at an upscale noodle shop. Her version features both seafood and beef. 

COUNCILMEMBER LEVIN HONORS IDA B. WELLS

DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — Councilmember Stephen Levin (D-Boerum Hill-Brooklyn Heights-Downtown Brooklyn-DUMBO-Greenpoint) and other Brooklyn officials hosted a street co-naming ceremony in Downtown Brooklyn on Saturday to honor Ida B. Wells. Wells was a groundbreaking investigative journalist, civil rights leader and feminist. When living in Brooklyn, she published editorials exposing lynching and helped to found the National Association of Colored Women

in 1898. A plaque for Wells was unveiled on the façade of J.P. Morgan Chase at 4 MetroTech during the street co-naming. 

PROTESTERS SLAM ALLEGED ASSAULT BY POLICE

CANARSIE — Hundreds of protesters rallied outside the 69th Precinct in Canarsie Saturday to demand answers after a video captured police officers tackling a 20-year-old man during an arrest for alleged marijuana possession, according to the Brooklyn Paper. The video posted to Twitter showed a plainclothes officer holding Fitzroy Gayle at gunpoint just before a group of officers tackled him to the group, as the young man screamed. Police said Gayle was smoking marijuana outside 100% Playground on Glenwood Road and had resisted arrest, but his attorney said his client had not committed any crimes, the Brooklyn Paper said. “We had a rally outside the precinct calling on the district attorney of Brooklyn to investigate this heinous kidnapping and assault,” said Rev. Kevin McCall of the Crisis Action Center in Brownsville. 

REFINANCE BOOM HAS LENDERS SCRAMBLING TO MEET DEMAND

CITYWIDE — A sharp drop in mortgage interest rates has sparked a sudden and unexpected refinance boom that has lenders scrambling to handle the large volume, according to CNBC. The stress on the lending market is keeping mortgage rates higher than they could be. Mortgage rates hit 3.11 percent on Monday, CNBC said. One borrower who called Bank of America on Saturday was told there would be a two-hour wait to speak with a loan officer. At Cross Country Mortgage, a small lender in Boca Raton, Florida, phones were ringing before 8 a.m. on Monday. 

CROWN HEIGHTS RESTAURANT OFFERS VEGAN ETHIOPIAN FARE

CROWN HEIGHTS — Crown Heights’ newest restaurant, Ras Plant Based, brings an Ethiopian presence to the neighborhood, according to Patch. The owners, chef Romeo Regali and his wife Milka, also own the Cobble Hill Ethiopian restaurant Awash. The new restaurant features a menu centered around an Ethiopian platter consisting of a variety of vegan options, from collard greens to red lentil stew, served over a traditional spongy flatbread. Other items include a vegan kebab, traditional Ethiopian coffee, vegan desserts and more. The restaurant is at 739 Franklin Ave. near Sterling Place, Patch said.

Irish eyes were certainly smiling at the Bay Ridge St. Patrick’s Day Parade dinner dance as elected officials, family and friends gathered to salute this year’s esteemed parade marshals. Honorees for the 27th Annual Bay Ridge St. Patrick’s Day Parade — which will be held on Sunday, March 22 — were recognized at the gala event

which took place at El Caribe at 5945 Strickland Ave. in Mill Basin on Saturday, March 7. The 2019 parade’s grand marshal is community leader Linda Gallagher-Lomanto. “I’m very humbled and proud that the committee has chosen me to lead the 27th Bay Ridge St Patrick’s Day Parade down Third Avenue,” Gallagher-Lomanto told this paper. “The parade committee and its sponsors have done a wonderful job keeping Irish culture and heritage thriving in Bay Ridge.

Honoree Meaghan McGoldrick with her boyfriend Michael O’Neil.

Congratulations to all my fellow honorees, and I’m looking forward to a warm, sunny day on Sunday, March 22.” Deputy marshals for the 27th annual parade include Meaghan McGoldrick, Judy Conway, Tracy McDonagh-Joerss, Eileen Tynion, Kristine Woods-Hansen, Eric DiRamio, Christopher Cody, Steven McEvoy, Billy Murphy and John Ward. “It’s such a tremendous honor to be a deputy marshal at this year’s parade,” said Tynion. “It’s the thrill of a lifetime and I have my family and friends here with me tonight. I’m just delighted,” she added. McGoldrick said that it felt very surreal to be honored. “It’s very humbling to be recognized as a deputy marshal, and I’m just thrilled to keep the tradition going.” The honorary Irishman of the year was Romeo Petric, who was born in Zadar, Croatia, but has served as parish athletic representative for the CYO Sports program at St. Patrick since 2002. He has also been involved in nearly every facet of the parish’s sports programs for over 25 years including soccer, baseball, basketball and

swimming, as well as serving as the commissioner for each program. “I’m humbled and honored to be the Bay Ridge Parade’s honorary Irishman,” said Petric. “There’s no better place and no better people.” The Claddagh Award recipients were Barbara Slattery, Bill Boshell and Tom Maclellan. Elected officials and community leaders attending included U.S. Rep. Max Rose, State Sen. Andrew Gounardes, former State Sen. Marty Golden,

former New York State Conservative Party Chair Mike Long and attorney Mike Connors, his wife Beth and son Michael Connors. This year’s honorary Irish family of the year recognition was bestowed upon the Mayrose family and its patriarch and matriarch, Arthur and Eileen Mayrose. “Initially, I thought the recognition was just for me alone and I really wasn’t sure about it,” Arthur told this paper. “But then they said, ‘No, we

mean your entire family,’ and then I thought, oh, this will really be fun because when you look at the entire family from my oldest son Eddie to my youngest granddaughter Maeve, everybody has done something in sports, has done something with mentoring young kids, fundraising for various churches in the community; everyone in the family has done something remarkable. You don’t realize it because being involved has just always been our way of life,” he added.

Explore the shore and see Victorian houses in Bath Beach Eye on

REAL ESTATE By Lore Croghan

INBrooklyn

id you know Bath Beach was named for England’s famous spa town, Bath? I hadn’t strolled around this charming Brooklyn neighborhood in the longest time. When the sun came out the other day, the idea of taking a long walk by the glittering waters of Gravesend Bay, then looping through quiet streets looking for modernized Victorian houses, was irresistible. An escape into the fresh air, where I found fab scenery, flocks of seagulls and a view of one of my favorite bridges, cheered me up immensely. Isn’t that what everybody needs these days — a little cheering up? One of Bath Beach’s most alluring features is a pedestrian and cycling path at the edge of the neighborhood, right on the shoreline, with the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge rising high above the water. So yeah, the Belt Parkway is there too, on the other side of a barrier. But I’m a very finicky person, and I don’t find the highway’s proximity too troubling. The sound of the passing cars is like white noise. Bath Beach’s waterside pathway is an extension of Bay Ridge’s popular Shore Road Promenade. I’m a big fan of the Bay Ridge end of the promenade, and I’ve published photos of it many times, in sunshine and in fog. The Bath Beach end of the path is pretty great, too.

AMERICA’S LONGEST SUSPENSION BRIDGE

Feed the birds, tuppence a bag. On Bath Beach’s waterside promenade.

Before you head for Bath Beach, I should mention that you’ll need a heavier jacket than the day’s weather report suggests. Gravesend Bay’s waters are cold this time of year, and the breeze that comes off them is chilly. If you don’t live in Bath Beach, the easiest way to get to the shoreline promenade is to ride the R train to its terminus at 95th Street and Fourth Avenue in Bay Ridge. Walk down Fourth Avenue for several blocks. Along the way, you’ll notice Cannonball Park. That’s what Bay Ridge residents call John Paul Jones Park. A 58-ton, Civil War-era cannon is on display there. At the end of Fourth Avenue, the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge looms large. The promenade runs beneath it. Turn left, in the opposite direction from Lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. Gravesend Bay begins at the bridge and stretches down to Sea Gate. If you’re obsessed with taking pictures like I am, you’re going to stop a lot during your walk along the shoreline and turn yourself and your camera back towards the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. It’s America’s longest suspension bridge, with a 4,260-footlong main span. Othmar Ammann, a structural engineer who was Bath Beach’s shoreline promenade offers a terrific view of the born in Switzerland, designed it. It opened in 1964. Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. INBrooklyn photos by Lore Croghan You probably recall that for a half-century it was the VerrazanoNarrows Bridge with one “Z,” instead of two “Z”s like namesake explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano’s spelling. In October 2018, A MILITARY INSTALLATION’S TWO CENTURIES OLD Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a bill to correct this typo. When you start walking on the promenade, before Bath Beach homes come into view, you’ll see Fort Hamilton. It has the distinction of being New York City’s only active military base. The fort was established in 1825. On special occasions, civilians are invited onto the premises. Several years ago, I had the honor of attending Fort Hamilton’s 9/11 commemorative ceremony. On Sunday, when I was out on my waterside stroll, I saw a cargo ship heading towards Manhattan and a tiny tugboat pulling a big barge beneath the bridge. Runners and cyclists politely gave me a wide berth as I stood at a railing along the water, snapping photos. High clouds made pretty patterns in the azure sky. Whenever I was walking instead of gazing backwards at the bridge, I could see the top of the landmarked Coney Island Parachute Jump in the distance.

As I kept walking, the promenade became a double-lane pathway with a grassy median.

FEED THE BIRDS, TUPPENCE A BAG At Bay 8th Street, there’s a hill with a staircase that leads to an overpass connecting the rest of Bath Beach to the promenade. It’s worthwhile to climb the stairs for a bird’s eye view of the promenade, the bay and the bridge. Back down on the shoreline, there are benches if you want to linger and look at the water. When I was there on Sunday, a gentleman sat on one of the benches and fed seagulls and pigeons. They swirled around him like an avian tornado. A second overpass connecting the shoreline and the rest of Bath Beach can be found at 17th Avenue. These stairs also offer an excellent vantage point from which to see the promenade and Gravesend Bay. When seagulls aren’t being fed, they congregate on the rocky shoreline. Three of the birds flew up onto the railing along the promenade and stayed still long enough for me to snap a photo.

SAY SO LONG TO THE SHORELINE The promenade comes to an end at the edge of Bensonhurst Park, which is at the bottom of Bay Parkway. If you find it hard to leave the soothing shoreline, there’s a cluster of benches where you can sit and take a last look at Gravesend Bay. Eventually you should continue your walk, though. There are beautiful homes and an eye-catching NYPD stationhouse to see on the inland streets. As you turn up Bay Parkway, you’ll see Ceasar’s Bay Shopping Center. According to a posting on the Hey Ridge website, it’s spelled C-E-A-sar like its namesake, Ceasar Salama. Keep walking and you’ll pass a section of Bensonhurst Park that’s undergoing a $6.5 million renovation. It’s at the corner of Cropsey Avenue and Bay Parkway. Any direction you choose is a good direction for a walk in Bath Beach. I decided to turn onto Bath Avenue, then loop around on Benson Avenue back to Bay Parkway.

REAL ESTATE

Continued from page 12 INB I was afraid I would run out of time, so I left Cropsey Avenue out of my walk.There are lots of beautiful houses there. Several years ago, I took pictures of them. Low-rise Bath Avenue is lined with grocers, medical offices, pharmacies and interesting places to eat.

TERRIFIC TURRETS Many Bath Beach homes are mid-20th century attached brick rowhouses with garages on their bottom floors. I dearly love this type of housing stock, which can be found in numerous neighborhoods outside Brooklyn’s Brownstone Belt. But I also love the standalone Victorian houses that dot Bath Beach. They’ve got turrets and porches and panache. They’ve been modernized with siding. Some have walled-in porches. So what? They’re beautiful. America’s largest concentration of Victorian wooden houses can be found in a cluster of Flatbush neighborhoods that includes Prospect Park South and Ditmas Park. The iconic homes are also scattered through southern Brooklyn neighborhoods such as Bay Ridge and Bath Beach. As I walked along Bath and Benson avenues, I glanced up each side street. If I spotted a Victorian house, I walked over for a closer look. It was kind of like an Easter egg hunt when the eggs are placed out in the open. A quick look is all it took to find them. One of Bath Beach’s Victorian gems is 122 Bay 26th St., which has a turret, a wraparound porch and an enormous yard. It’s not in the best of shape. But it’s lovely.

A STELLAR STATIONHOUSE Another fine sight is a pair of homes at 8730 20th Ave. and 8732 20th Ave. Turrets on the corners of these houses look like silos. To give you a rough idea of how Bath Beach Victorians are priced, the property at 8730 20th Ave., which is a two-family home, sold for $1.4 million in 2015, city Finance Department records indicate. A couple blocks further down Bath Avenue, at the corner of Bay 22nd Street, you’ll see a distinguished wedge-shaped building. It’s red brick with stone cladding on its ground floor and has a band of green-hued ornamentation below its roof. This is the 62nd Precinct Police Station, as the name over the front door tells you. The building’s address is 1925 Bath Ave. The neighborhoods included in the 62nd Precinct are Bath Beach, Bensonhurst and Mapleton.

These similarly shaped Victorian houses are 8732 (at left) and 8730 20th Ave. in Bath Beach. St. Finbar’s present-day church building was dedicated in 1912. A few years ago, volunteers did extensive interior restoration, my colleague Paula Katinas reported.

IN THE SHADOW OF THE TRAIN TRACKS I can’t end this story without mentioning a trio of big, beautiful old houses. They include 79 Bay 25th St., which is on the corner of Benson Avenue, then 75 Bay 25th St., then 67-69 Bay 25th St. The last house I mentioned is clad in green-painted shingles and has an enormous front porch. City Buildings Department records suggest it was constructed in 1924. Even with Daylight Saving Time, sunset arrives all too soon when you’re walking around taking photos. When it got too late to take any more pictures, I turned left on Bay Parkway and headed up to 86th Street, which is considered the border of Bath Beach and Bensonhurst. There’s a D train station on the corner if you want to go home. Or you can get a bite to eat on 86th Street. There are lots of restaurants and cafes. If you’re in the mood for an additional adventure, you can continue east on 86th Street to Gravesend, where you’ll find popular pizzeria L&B Spumoni Gardens.

WITCHES’ HATS As I continued walking on Bath Avenue, a terrific Victorian house at 137 Bay 11th St. caught my eye. The roof on its slender turret is shaped like a dinner bell. I also noticed the skinny turret on the house at 1465 Bath Ave., which is on the corner of 15th Avenue. Some big houses are eye-pleasing even though they don’t have Victorian architectural flourishes — for instance, four homes with sharply peaked roofs at 143, 145, 147 and 149 Bay 8th St. When I got to the end of Bath Avenue, I turned onto 14th Avenue, walked up the block and then turned again onto Benson Avenue. I saw some beautiful homes I couldn’t photograph because the late-afternoon sun was right behind them. I did get a picture of a row of four Victorian houses that have rectangular towers topped with little roofs shaped like witch’s hats. Their addresses are 57 to 69 Bay 11th St.

ENDLESS SUNSHINE As I continued along Benson Avenue, one of the most eyecatching buildings I saw was a modern brick and glass property on the corner of 18th Avenue. This is the Italian-American Cultural Community Center, also known as Il Centro. It has classrooms, a fitness facility, a swimming pool and event space. Nearby, on the corner of Benson Avenue and Bay 20th Street, stunning St. Finbar stands. This Roman Catholic parish was established in 1880, when the village of Bath Beach was a mix of farms, resort homes, hotels and yacht clubs.

This Victorian home at 122 Bay 26th St. has a large lawn. INBrooklyn photos by Lore Croghan The parish’s website says the man who donated the site where the church was originally built, William Swayne, was from County Cork in Ireland. He asked that the church be named for St. Finbar, who was the first Bishop of Cork. According to a posting on Catholic Online, legend has it that when St. Finbar died, which was around the year 633, the sun didn’t set for two weeks.

President George Washington never had wooden teeth. His dentures were made from ivory, gold, and other human teeth. The dentures were apparently very uncomfortable and made Washington extremely self-conscious, causing his lower lip to jut out unnaturally. In medieval Germany the only cure for a toothache was to kiss a donkey. Pucker up! A snail's mouth is no larger than a pin - but contains 25,000 tiny teeth!

Nets remain unbeaten under Vaughn

New head coach guides Brooklyn to second straight victory By John Torenli, Sports Editor INBrooklyn

A late-season coaching change, the ongoing battle to safeguard against the Coronavirus and a showdown against one of the best teams in the NBA weren’t enough to stop the resurgent Brooklyn Nets in Los Angeles on Tuesday night. Spencer Dinwiddie scored 23 points, including the go-ahead jumper with 28.3 seconds remaining, as Brooklyn improved to 2-0 under new Head Coach Jacque Vaughn by holding off LeBron James and the Lakers, 104-102, in front of 18,997 fans at the Staples Center. Dinwiddie’s elbow jumper proved to be the final points of a game that saw the Nets (30-34) open a four-game West Coast swing with one of their most impressive wins of the year. And it almost wasn’t. James fed Anthony Davis for a wide-open three-pointer just before the buzzer sounded, but the ball bounded harmlessly off the rim, leaving Brooklyn unbeaten in two games since Vaughn stunningly replaced former Head Coach Kenny Atkinson on Saturday morning. “It feels good because it’s a high-quality opponent on the road for a team that is doing its best right now to continue to find itself,” admitted Dinwiddie, one of several Nets who blossomed into a legitimate NBA regular under Atkinson. Though there continues to be speculation regarding both the timing and reasoning behind Atkinson’s dismissal, as well as ongoing restrictions and safeguards against the worldwide virus scare, the Nets have flourished over the past week, winning three in a row and four of their last five games. Vaughn, who replaced the longest-tenured coach of the Brooklyn era over the weekend, watched from the sideline as Davis launched what many thought would be the game-winning shot. “It’s like the joy and pain of basketball,” Vaughn said. “I had the perfect sight line. I see it leave, just watching the flight of it. Looked to see if his feet were behind the line, so I said, ‘This is a three-ball. We’re either losing this thing, or we’re going to win this thing.’” Ultimately, they won, knocking off the team that had beaten 11 of its previous 12 opponents, including league-best Milwaukee last Friday night, and still owns the top record in the Western Conference. Though it is a small sample size, the Nets, along with their new coach, are eager to continue building momentum as they continue their trip tonight at Golden State. “Obviously, we’ve gone through injuries and the coaching change as well. There’s been a ton of up and down,” noted Dinwiddie. “And the [Lakers are] one of the top, what, three teams in the league, right? The championship contenders, Lakers, Clippers and Bucks. So, it’s big for a team that’s learning and going to try to be a champion to add this win.”

The New York Islanders were happy to get a point in their latest loss Tuesday night in Vancouver. But one look at the Eastern Conference playoff standings might change their rosy outlook. Brock Nelson scored a pair of goals, including the game-tying tally in the third period, but the Isles still dropped their seventh straight game, suffering a 5-4 shootout defeat to the Canucks in front of 18,871 fans at Rogers Arena. “It seems like we’re close, but we just have to find that puck or that play that is going to get us over the hump right now and turn it around,” Nelson said after New York opened a four-game road trip by falling one point behind Carolina and Columbus for the final two postseason spots in the East. “It seems like everything is stacked up against us a bit… We did a lot of good things today; I think we’re close.” Close hasn’t been nearly good enough for the Isles (35-23-10), who have gone 0-3-4 since posting a 4-1 victory over San Jose at the renovated Nassau Coliseum on Feb. 23. Andrew Ladd scored his first goal of the season, Jordan Eberle also tallied and Semyon Varlamov made 30 saves for New York before allowing J.T. Miller’s shootout goal that left the Isles on the outside looking in at the playoff picture. “Good point,” Isles Head Coach Barry Trotz said, putting a positive spin on the worst slide his team has endured during his two-year tenure at the helm. “You have to take every point. You worry about the points you can get,” he added. “Obviously, we put a point on the board tonight and we’ll just have to try to get another point or two next game. Keep doing that and we’ll look up after 82 and see where we are.” The Isles will continue their trip tonight in Calgary before visiting Edmonton tomorrow and Pittsburgh on Sunday. ISLE HAVE ANOTHER: Ladd, who has played sparingly these past two seasons due to a pair of knee injuries, lit the lamp for the first time since Oct. 30, 2018, against the Canucks. “It’s fun to be back in that room, playing with those guys and contributing,” Ladd said. “Hopefully, we can get it going in the right direction here and string a few wins together here. I’m confident if we play like that every night, we’ll get the result.”
