VLP honors four at annual Volunteer Recognition Awards ceremony By Rob Abruzzese The Record
The Brooklyn Bar Association Volunteer Lawyers Project (VLP) held its annual Volunteer Recognition Event in Brooklyn Heights on Wednesday featuring a reception for all of its volunteers, with four of them receiving awards for their efforts. The event also was a kickoff of VLP’s 30th anniversary. The group expects to take time during each of its events this year to commemorate the occasion. After sharing snacks and drinks, the organization’s President and CEO Heidi Lee Henderson formally welcomed everyone and began the presentation. “Our volunteer recognition night is very special because it gives us a chance to say thank you to our dedicated and talented volunteers,” said Henderson. “When pro bono lawyers get involved, the justice system becomes accessible to the most vulnerable New Yorkers. With your
help and expertise, you give a voice and access to justice to vulnerable clients and make a positive difference in their lives.” The four honorees were James Slattery, who received the Terri and Nick Letica Award; Kamille Stewart, who received the Christopher Slattery Young Professional Award; Jesus Zeno, who received the Public Service Award; and Dana Rosenbaum, who received the Pro Bono Leadership Award. “Last year, our volunteers provided over 1,500 hours of high-quality legal representation, advice, counsel, legal services and community education, valued at over $5.7 million and benefiting more than 26,000 people,” Henderson said. “We couldn’t achieve that with our staff of 10,” she continued. “Think about that. Our volunteers give their time, expertise and compassion to help our clients, from conducting intakes in our office to staffing courthouse clinics to teaching CLEs and mentoring new attorneys to providing representation.”

RoseAnn Branda honored as a top family law attorney for client satisfaction By Rob Abruzzese The Record
RoseAnn Branda, a past president of the Brooklyn Bar Association and executive partner at Abrams Fensterman, was recognized this week as one of the year's 10 Best Family Law Attorneys (female) for client satisfaction by the American Institute of Family Law Attorneys (AIOFLA). The AIOFLA is a third-party organization that publishes an annual list of the Top 10 Family Law Attorneys in each state. After a lawyer is nominated, the group does its own research and evaluation before selecting attorneys for the list, which is meant as a resource for clients during the attorney selection process. The client satisfaction award is one of the group's most prestigious as it considers attorney-client relationships one of the most significant aspects for the attorneys it honors. Branda, a Brooklyn Law School graduate, is the co-director of the Family and

Matrimonial Law Department at Abrams Fensterman. Prior to joining Abrams Fensterman, Branda was a partner in the law firm Caruso, Caruso and Branda. As a past president of the Brooklyn Bar Association, the Columbian Lawyers Association of Brooklyn and the Bay Ridge Lawyers Association, Branda is one of the most well-respected attorneys in the local legal community. She is also a member of the New York State Bar Association, the Judges and Lawyers Breast Cancer Alert, the Nathan R. Sobel American Inns of Court and the Brooklyn Women's Bar Association. Branda chairs the Independent Judicial Election Qualification Commission for the Second and 13th Judicial Districts and is also a member of the Matrimonial Practice Advisory and Rules Committee; the Committee on Character & Fitness for the Second, 10th, 11th and 13th Judicial Districts; and a member of the Judicial Hearing Officer Selection Advisory Committee.
Slattery was presented with his award by its namesakes, Terri and Nick Letica. The award, which is not given out every year, is meant to recognize great leadership within the VLP. Slattery joined the VLP in 1992 and served as the board president from 1997 until he retired in 2019 and was elected to the emeritus board. “Presenting this award to Jim is especially meaningful to me because of the years we spent working together at VLP and the friendship we developed as a result,” Terri Letica said. “Many of you know Jim because he has been the face of VLP for so many years. For many years, VLP was essentially Jim’s second fulltime job. He was involved in every aspect of the project, in every decision, large and small.” Slattery then presented the next award, named in memory of his son, who died during the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks, to Stewart, a Howard University School of Law graduate and judicial law clerk. Slattery cited her work with VLP’s Civil Legal Advice and Resource Office (CLARO), which she joined after attending a training session in 2018. “She has become one of the volunteers the CLARO program heavily relies on and values,” Slattery said. After Sidney Cherubin presented Zeno with his award, Zeno talked about joining VLP in 2015 and getting involved with its Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings program. He said that while he appreciates the award, he finds his work representing Brooklynites in cases brought by the Department of Buildings rewarding in itself. Finally, Anne O’Grady, the pro bono director, presented Rosenbaum with her award. When she did, O’Grady mentioned how Rosenbaum recruited 12 attorneys from her firm to participate in a VLP legal clinic for domestic violence victims.

Navy Yard program seeks to find tech talent and build sustainable cities By Michael Stahl The Record
The future of sustainable cities might begin in Brooklyn. New Lab, the 84,000-square-foot innovation hub in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, announced last week it will host the 2020 iteration of an annual program that brings tech talent to New York City, with the goal of making this metropolis and others like it more sustainable. The program, dubbed “Circular City,” is funded by the New York City Economic Development Corporation, an agency dedicated to spurring economic growth. Circular City aims to attract global startups that are developing technology and products that can aid in a city’s transition toward a circular economy, where resources are retained within a closed-loop system, through recycling and other processes, eliminating waste and pollution. The focus of the program’s efforts this year — its third — will be improvements to the energy efficiency of buildings, which are responsible for 67 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in the five boroughs. Alongside New Lab and NYCEDC, representatives of the Downtown Brooklyn Partnership, the Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corporation, Governors Island and the Flatbush Junction BID, as well as individuals from academic institutions and other entrepreneurs and investors from the urban tech landscape, will review the applications, collaborate with the approved startups and offer sites where their technologies will be planted. “We really started this program to be responsive to needs that we were seeing on both the entrepreneur and the startup side, as well as the city side,” Shaina Horowitz, vice president of products and programs at New Lab, told the Record.
Once they’ve firmly established their designs, startups want their products to go to market, function and provide value, Horowitz said. City stakeholders, who want to see community benefits from these innovations, must require stout vetting of such companies and their offerings. “A program like this is designed to kind of create the safe space to push the envelope and to experiment with new technologies in a context of these specific challenges,” she added. Horowitz observed that the recent passing of New York’s Local Law 97, which targets an 80 percent cut to building carbon emissions over the next 30 years, has created “more market pressure for building and asset owners to think about increasing energy efficiency.” “There certainly is an increasing sense of urgency — when you look around the world and you see what’s happening in Australia, and what’s happening in our own backyard in terms of climate change — and we see that we need new approaches,” she said. “This is an opportunity for startups who can react to that in some sort of positive manner to come forward.” The funding for Circular City, according to NYCEDC, spawned in Mayor Bill de Blasio’s 2014 “One City: Built to Last” sustainability plan. Two years later, as part of that plan, NYCEDC devoted $7.2 million to partnerships with New Lab and Grand Central Tech, a second tech development hub in Manhattan, now called Company. The city agency has yet to allocate all of those funds and is using some of the leftovers for this program. NYCEDC is seeking additional sponsors to kick in, too, similarly to when Citi Ventures, the investment firm backed by Citi, provided funding last year. A portion of the program’s grant money will be devoted to offsetting costs for the startups, which

Statewide judge for matrimonial cases to lead Brooklyn Bar Association CLE By Rob Abruzzese Brooklyn Daily Eagle
The Brooklyn Bar Association has a pair of continuing legal education seminars coming up over the next month, including one hosted by Hon. Jeffrey Sunshine, the statewide coordinating judge for matrimonial matters. Justice Sunshine will lead a CLE entitled “What is Income and Where to Find It,” with attorney RoseAnn Branda as well as Louis Cercone Jr. and William Allen, certified public accountants from Brisbane
Consulting Group. The two-hour CLE will take place at 6 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 24. It is being sponsored by the BBA’s Family Law Section, which is chaired by Branda and past President Aimee Richter. Justice Sunshine explained that finding and determining income can often be one of the most critical parts of a divorce case. The panel will look at components of income as it pertains to the Domestic Relations Law, phantom income and the differences between income and cash flow.

News From Your Neighborhood COPS SEEK BRAZEN THIEVES WHO STOLE ATM FROM HOTEL
SUNSET PARK — Police are searching for the two thieves who stole an ATM machine from inside a Sunset Park hotel on Jan. 8, according to the Brooklyn Reporter. Police said the ATM at Hotel BPM Brooklyn, on 33rd Street between Third and Fourth avenues, was stolen by two men who threatened to shoot two hotel employees if they didn’t get down on the ground. The suspects beat them before stealing the ATM, using a hand trolley to remove it. The same suspects are believed to have stolen ATMs from a deli in Astoria on Jan. 7 and a pizzeria at 13th Street and Third Avenue in Park Slope the evening after they hit the Sunset Park hotel.
BERNIE’S STILL ANGRY ABOUT DODGERS LEAVING BROOKLYN
FLATBUSH — Brooklyn-born presidential candidate U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders is still angry about the departure of the Dodgers from Brooklyn in 1957, according to InsideHook, a website geared to “the affluent, on-the-go gent.” Sanders was 16 at the time, and to this day he refers to the event as “the worst thing that ever happened.” Sanders, in an interview with The New York Times, also said that the Dodgers’ leaving Brooklyn made him suspicious of large companies and how the decisions made by a small number of people at the top can have a negative impact on thousands. His lingering displeasure about the Dodgers leaving for Los Angeles is one of the reasons Sanders opposes Major League Baseball’s reported plan to alter the minor-league system and change the affiliation of, or eliminate, as many as 42 teams, InsideHook said.
RENTAL RATES SOARED IN BROOKLYN IN LATE 2019
BOROUGHWIDE — While home prices are dropping in Manhattan, price trends in Brooklyn and Queens are showing a different outcome, according to amNewYork. Quoting figures from the real estate blog StreetEasy, amNewYork recently revealed that rental prices in Brooklyn grew 5.2 percent in the fourth quarter of last year compared with the same time period in 2018 — the biggest jump the borough has seen in six years. The North Brooklyn area saw the largest growth in rents, escalating 5.9 percent to an average of $3,238, amNewYork reported. The neighborhood’s bouncing back from the canceled L train shutdown is the main reason for the big growth, StreetEasy said.
CLARKE RIPS TRUMP’S TRAVEL BAN FOR AFRICAN COUNTRIES
FLATBUSH — U.S. Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-Brownsville-East Flatbush-Flatbush-Park Slope) recently blasted President Trump’s adding four African countries — Nigeria, Eritrea, Sudan and Tanzania — to his restricted travel and immigration list. “I hope generations will recognize Donald Trump’s abhorrent behavior and his attempt to whitewash America,” Clarke said. “America has a troubled history of abusing people of color, like slavery and Japanese internment camps … this is not a time that we want our history to repeat itself.” In addition to the four African countries named above, Trump also added Myanmar, where Muslims are being persecuted, and Kyrgyzstan, both in Asia.
AFFORDABLE LOTTERY OPENS FOR SOUTH WILLIAMSBURG TOWER
WILLIAMSBURG — An affordable housing lottery has opened for 54 units in a 23-story building at 251-273 South Fifth St. in Williamsburg, located behind the landmarked Dime Savings Bank of Williamsburgh, according to Brownstoner. The affordable apartments include 19 studios, 24 one-bedroom units, two six-bedroom apartments and five three-bedroom units. Monthly rents start at $2,116 and top out at $3,150. These prices, said Brownstoner, “force one to reconsider what the city means by affordability.” All in all, the building, which was recently finished, has 177 residential units and 301 parking spaces. This is Fogarty Finger Architects’ first project in Brooklyn.
PIZZA IS MIDWOOD MAN’S MIDDLE NAME
MIDWOOD — A Midwood man, Scott Wiener, holds the Guinness World Record for the largest, most extensive pizza box collection, according to PIX11.

CONEY ISLAND BURGLAR TOOK NOTHING, SAY COPS
CONEY ISLAND — A suspect behind three apartment break-ins in Coney Island didn’t take anything in any of the incidents, according to PIX11. All of the break-ins happened last Thursday or Friday, and in each one, the man damaged door locks to get inside, police said. In one of the break-ins on West First Street, the man took off before even entering the apartment.

CONEY RESIDENTS PLAGUED BY TOO FEW BANKING SERVICES
CONEY ISLAND — Councilmember Mark Treyger, who represents Coney Island, says many local residents have trouble finding basic banking services, according to News 12 Brooklyn. Last week, Municipal Credit Union’s Coney Island branch closed its doors on Surf Avenue. Earlier, a nearby Chase bank closed after being hit by Superstorm Sandy. “We are walking like a mile, a mile and a half, just to get our own money,” a resident told News 12. Treyger said he is reaching out to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the New York State Department of Financial Services to take a look at the area.
COPS SEEK MAN WHO STOLE UPS PACKAGE
PARK SLOPE — Cops are seeking a thief who stole a package from a UPS delivery person in Park Slope on Jan. 30, according to the Brooklyn Paper.

The sellers were Gil Nye and Jay Yoo, while the buyer was Israel Goldstein, the Times reported.
MAJOR APARTMENT DEVELOPMENT PLANNED FOR EAST NEW YORK
EAST NEW YORK — Innovative Urban Living, a developer, and PUA, an architectural firm, are proposing a 2.4 million-squarefoot mixed-use development near the East New York waterfront that would include 13 new buildings, according to New York YIMBY. The site is comprised of five adjacent lots with frontage along Flatlands, Pennsylvania and Louisiana avenues. Zoning amendments are required to construct a unified mixeduse development of this size, New York YIMBY reported. The development would include 2,118 apartments, 1,825 of which would be affordable. The plans also include a supermarket, a day care center, an elementary school, a trade school and outdoor public space. The Christian Cultural Center, which currently occupies part of the site, would have space in the development as well. As part of the project, a shuttle service would operate to and from the L train at East 105th street and the 3 train at Pennsylvania Avenue.
MENCHACA PUTS WORD OUT ON AVAILABLE CENSUS MONEY
RED HOOK — City Councilmember Carlos Menchaca (D-Red Hook-Sunset Park) let his constituents know in a newsletter that the city has created a $40 million Census Fund to assist more than 150 organizations in helping New Yorkers complete the 2020 Census form. One of these organizations is the Red Hook Initiative, which has worked with the neighborhood’s youth for 17 years. The group is now offering four paid positions and Menchaca is recommending that constituents apply for them. These positions require knowledge of Spanish and/ or Mandarin.
CYMBROWITZ SLAMS PROPERTY TAX OVERHAUL
SHEEPSHEAD BAY — Assemblymember Steven Cymbrowitz (D-Southern Brooklyn) has vowed to battle the proposed city property tax overhaul recommendations released recently. “In its current form, the plan is devastating to many thousands of homeowners, condo and co-op owners in Manhattan Beach, Sheepshead Bay, Gravesend, Midwood and other communities,” said Cymbrowitz, who is chair of the Assembly Housing Committee. The Advisory Commission on Property Tax Reform’s recommendations include bundling co-ops, condos and small rentals into the same class as small one- to three-family homes. The proposal would also remove assessment caps, which currently limit the amount that property taxes for homeowners can increase, to 6 percent over a one-year period or 20 percent over a five-year period.

The “Mona Lisa” arrived at the Metropolitan Museum of Art yesterday from Washington on the second stop of her two-exhibit American visit. A special van owned by the National Gallery in Washington brought Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece here in a police-escorted six-car convoy, including secret service men and guards
from the Louvre Museum in Paris. The portrait in its special packing case was quickly carried to a vault in the Metropolitan’s basement without ceremony or fanfare. “Mona Lisa” will be mounted Wednesday on a red velvet drapery in the center gate of a Renaissance Choir Screen in the Museum’s Medieval Sculpture Hall. Mayor [Robert] Wagner will accept the loan of the painting
from French Ambassador Herve Alphand at a private reception Wednesday night. The public will be admitted to the Museum Thursday morning for a first glimpse of the painting which drew 673,872 persons to the National Gallery in the past four weeks. “Mona Lisa” will be on display at the Metropolitan until March 4 and is expected to attract nearly one million persons.

Theatre for Kids and Families Opens in Tri-State Park Slope JAG-ONE Physical Therapy Expands Throughout Area By John Alexander INBROOKLYN
Play Nice Theatre has begun its season of lighthearted musicals with positive, life-affirming messages about cooperation and kindness. And they’re looking for their July/August cast, musicians, and backstage helpers. Relocated from Manhattan, this all-volunteer company’s rehearsals and meetings refl ect their of mission Photos courtesy JAG-ONE and message by encouraging its mixed-generation cast and crew (ages 6 to 106) to interact socially and share stories of their own lives on and off stage. In a welcoming atmosphere, the experienced and new Play Nice actors and crew are encouraged to come early and linger after assigned rehearsal slots in order to get to know each other, help each other memorize their lines, do school homework and play games. Some may choose to help with scenery painting or prop-making. All ticket sales from main stage shows ($10 admission) is donated to local charities, a prime motivation for many participants who find it rewarding to help raise money for those less fortunate through donating their time and talent. According to theatre founder Rob Lester, the cast and crew are like a second family. “Working on a show with

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

Valentine’s Day eats and treats: Sweet, luscious snacks for loved ones
alentine’s Day naturally brings thoughts of hearts, flowers, sweetness and love. Because it also occurs during American Heart Month, it’s a perfect opportunity to start taking care of your own heart and the hearts of loved ones. Part of the charm of the day’s celebrations is in giving family and friends flavorful foods to enjoy, from chocolates and candies to other sugary treats. However, the festivities don’t have to be completely focused on unhealthy bites in order to make someone feel special. This year, it can be easy to share in the fun of Valentine’s Day by serving those you love sweet, seasonal treats. For example, these Frosted Watermelon Cutouts make ideal snacks for children and adults alike, whether as an after-school treat or a sweet dessert with just three ingredients, heart-shaped cookie cutters and minimal time spent in the kitchen. If you’re really looking to impress that special someone, this Watermelon and Chocolate Dessert Board calls for creativity and plenty of tasty morsels like berries, cashews, almonds and dark chocolate, without any baking or cooking required. Simply spread out the ingredients for a platter that’s just as visually appealing as it is appetizing. Both recipes include watermelon, which boasts plenty of vitamin C to boost the immune system’s defenses as a cholesterol-free, fat-free and sodium-free food. Plus, watermelon draws its red color from the powerful antioxidant lycopene (12.7 mg per serving), which may help protect cells from damage, and the healthy treat is American Heart Association Heart-Check Certified with just 80 calories per serving, making it the perfect centerpiece for Valentine’s Day recipes.

“This is like a tumbleweed that’s just coming on the wind”
“New York Clearing” can be seen from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade. BY SCOTT ENMAN SCOTT@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

r it i sh s c u lptor Antony Gormley unveiled “New York Clearing,” his latest work and first public sculpture in New York City in 10 years at Brooklyn Bridge Park on Tuesday, Feb. 4. The artwork, on view
through March 27, features a single line made up of 11 miles of square aluminum tubing that loops, bends and coils endlessly into the sky like a giant slinky. His “drawing in space” rises nearly 50 feet high and creates an environment that encourages viewers to meet inside the work and interact with it.
“I think, for me, it’s not a body, maybe not even a sculpture in the traditional sense in so far as it’s more energy less mass,” Gormley said. “This is an open work; it doesn’t have a skin. You’re invited in a way to meet others that you might not have met before. “It’s not a thing that represents something. It’s a

The piece was commissioned and paid for by CONNECT, BTS, a global project connecting 22 artists in five different cities across the world, including New York. “The art world can be quite self-serving, quite internalized,” Gormley said. “To reaffirm that art is essentially everyone’s, that it’s made to be shared, I think is the root of [BTS’] philosophy and why I agreed to play a part in what is … a very ideological wish that art should be a platform for

Eric Landau, president of the Brooklyn Bridge Park Corporation, said Gormley’s work and the park’s construction have come full circle. When he installed “Event Horizon” in 2010, it was the same year that construction on Brooklyn Bridge Park started. Ten years later, Landau said it was only fitting that

The area was initially meant for people to ride their bikes on and gather, according to Landau, but “never did we ever imagine this space would be used for this,” he said. And the space will not be used like this forever. “New York Clearing” will be on view at the northeast corner of Pier 3 for just under two months before it’s gone in the blink of an eye. “This is like a tumbleweed that’s just coming on the wind,” Gormley said. “It will be here temporarily. It will be gone.”

Take a February stroll through landmark-worthy Central Park Slope, part one Eye on
REAL ESTATE By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn
New York City’s largest collection of historic buildings that isn’t landmarked can be found in Central Park Slope. A neighborhood organization is trying to remedy this situation. The Park Slope Civic Council’s Historic District Committee plans to ask the city Landmarks Preservation Commission to designate part of an area in Park Slope that’s termed “the Center Slope” as a historic district, or perhaps multiple historic districts. It has a heavy concentration of Victorian-era architecture and played an important role in the Revolutionary War. An advocacy organization known as the Historic Districts Council will assist in these efforts.
This is the FDNY Squad Co. 1 firehouse. The Historic Districts Council recently put the area on its new Six to Celebrate list of New York City neighborhoods that merit preservation attention. Winning this annual award means the Park Slope Civic Council will receive help throughout the course of 2020 from the Historic Districts Council with strategic planning, advocacy, outreach, programs and building public awareness. HDC is good at getting the Landmarks Preservation Commission’s staff to do surveys of neighborhoods, which are crucial preludes to their being designated as historic districts. The portion of the Center Slope on which the civic council and HDC are focusing their landmarking campaign starts just east of Fifth Avenue and extends from Union Street to 7th Street. It ends at the border of the existing Park Slope Historic District, which for the most part is just east of Seventh Avenue.
Welcome to the Center Slope.
INBrooklyn photos by Lore Croghan
The money that’s raised supports the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation’s programs, including those which assist first responders and catastrophically injured service members. Outside Squad Co. 1’s firehouse, there’s a 9/11 commemorative wood sculpture called “Out of the Rubble.” Nyal Thomas Jr. and Rick Boswell carved the artwork from a single tree.
‘Radical change in virtually every community’ Walk down Seventh Avenue and turn onto President Street with me while I continue my narrative about the Center Slope landmarking campaign. Peter Bray, who chairs the Park Slope Civic Council’s Historic District Committee, said in an interview that his group feels a sense of urgency about landmarking the Center Slope because of development pressures.
Architectural eye candy This part of the Center Slope is a wonderful place for a winter walk. Begin on Union Street, on the block between Fifth and Sixth avenues, and weave through the area from north to south.
—Continued on page 13INB—
Old-fashioned charm shines forth from this row of residential buildings, which starts with 740 Union St. at left. You’ll get an eyeful of brownstones in numerous architectural styles, small apartment houses that preservationists refer to as flats buildings, interesting shops and restaurants and stunning churches. The other day, I strolled around the area. There were so many beautiful buildings to photograph that I only covered part of the terrain. Even so, I took too many pictures to fit into a single story. So I’m going to publish some of my snapshots next week.
Stephen Siller’s firehouse I should point out the famous Park Slope Food Coop is located at 782 Union St. And next door, at 788 Union St., there’s the handsome firehouse that is the home to FDNY Squad Co. 1. A dozen members of the squad perished in rescue efforts at the World Trade Center on 9/11. One of them was Firefighter Stephen Siller. You know his story. When he was on his way from Brooklyn to the World Trade Center that terrible morning, the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel was closed. So he ran through it with 60 pounds of firefighter’s gear strapped to his back. Every year, on the last Sunday in September, the Tunnel to Towers 5K Run & Walk is held to honor those who died on 9/11.

STROLL THROUGH LANDMARK-WORTHY CENTRAL PARK SLOPE, PART ONE Continued from page 12 INB “The city, starting back in the Bloomberg Administration, has been hellbent on doing upzonings, and we’ve experienced a radical change in virtually every community,” Bray said. “Neighborhoods that had a stable physical fabric for generations have been transformed practically overnight. And those same pressures exist in Park Slope.” Rezoning in 2004 increased allowable density on Fifth Avenue and Seventh Avenue — and of course, on Fourth Avenue, where there has been a massive wave of development, he said. And in 2016, the de Blasio Administration brought forth the Zoning for Quality and Affordability program, which encourages development. Also, as is true in many New York City neighborhoods, there are well-heeled Park Slope homeowners with “a significant amount of appetite for expanding 19th-century buildings by putting a story on top and building rearyard additions. And those are having an enormous impact on the integrity of neighborhoods, particularly in Brownstone Brooklyn,” he said. “And so it’s not that all those changes will be completely stopped by expanding the historic district in Park Slope. But there will be the fact that those changes can be reviewed and regulated by the Landmarks Preservation Commission,” Bray added.
St. Francis Xavier Church On the corner of President Street and Sixth Avenue, there’s a beautiful house made of elaborately patterned brick with stone trim. It’s St. Francis Xavier Church’s rectory, which was designed by architect Charles Werner and built in 1889, research material from the Park Slope Civic Council indicates.
When you look past the rectory, you get a good view of the church building, which is situated on the corner of Carroll Street and Sixth Avenue. Highly regarded architect Thomas F. Houghton designed the granite Gothic Revivalstyle house of worship, which was dedicated in 1904. It has a soaring spire and a terrific tympanum — that’s the area above the church door — decorated with sculpted figures including St. Francis Xavier, who is baptizing the faithful and preaching. He was one of the first members of the Jesuits. St. Francis Xavier Parish was founded in 1886. The parish website has a virtual tour of the church with photos of its stunning interior.

‘A spotlight on the Center Slope’ The Historic District Committee expects its Center Slope landmarking campaign will take several years to bear fruit. “We’re very hopeful that with the current set of leadership at the LPC, they will be receptive to working with us on Center Slope some time in the near future,” Bray said. The group Bray heads was motivated to seek the Historic Districts Council’s help because “we want to shine a spotlight on the Center Slope,” Bray said. “We want to create some momentum that hopefully will get the LPC’s attention.” Also, the Historic Districts Council will help the Park Slope group do community outreach. The Park Slope Civic Council’s Historic District Committee has already talked to Center Slope building owners and obtained several hundred letters of support from them. It has also done extensive research in Buildings Department archives.
LEFT: The corner apartment building is 218 Sixth Ave. with President Street rowhouses at left. There’s lots of info on Old First’s website about stunning interior restoration work that’s been done, and further work that’s planned. The church was established in 1654 by Peter Stuyvesant, the Dutch Colonial director-general of New Amsterdam. If the LPC’s staffers do decide to focus on the Center Slope area that Bray’s committee is championing for historicdistrict designation, he wouldn’t expect them to work on such an extensive area in one shot. They’d be more likely to break the job into two phases, Bray said. In the past, the staffers have taken the position that the agency has limited resources, and “they can’t devote all those resources to one particular neighborhood and they have to spread their attention around to all five boroughs,” Bray said.
sites. We continue to study the surrounding areas in the context of our priorities in all five boroughs.” The Park Slope Civic Council was instrumental in getting the original Park Slope Historic District designated in 1973. It encompasses an area close to Prospect Park. The group also worked to get additions to the district made. Extension I, which is in the South Slope, was designated in 2012. Extension II, which includes part of the North Slope, was designated in 2016.
The LPC’s response
Old First Reformed Church
I asked the Landmarks Preservation Commission for comment about the civic group’s plan to campaign for historic-district status for the Center Slope. A spokesperson responded with this statement: “Over the years, LPC has designated three historic districts in Park Slope resulting in the protection of 2,855 buildings and
The last building that gets a shout-out in this story is the Old First Reformed Church, an Indiana limestone, Neo-Gothic house of worship on the corner of Seventh Avenue and Carroll Street. Distinguished architect George L. Morse designed the church, which was dedicated in 1891.

— He and his twin brother Frank were born in Ali Terme, Sicily in 1929, and were the youngest of eight children. Carmelo spent his teenage years working as a shoemaker in Milan during WWII and immigrated to the United States where he met his beautiful wife, Velia DiPaolo. They settled in Bay Ridge, where they raised their four children. Carmelo was a dedicated and extremely hard-working member of Sheet Metal Local 28. He will always be remembered for his kind heart, sense of humor, infectious laugh, love of good food and wine, the joy he brought to all who knew him and most of all, for the love he had for his family. He enjoyed gardening, making wine and playing bocce, but his greatest joy was spending time with his grandchildren. He is predeceased by his son John Cintorrino and survived by his wife Velia Cintorrino; daughters Francesca Shea, Marisa Perez and Donna McLeer; sons-inlaw Daniel Shea, John Perez

John Joseph Woods embodied the finest attributes of being a teacher. In fact, during his 38 years at Xaverian High School in Bay Ridge, Woods wore many hats, serving as a coach, guidance counselor and head coach on both the varsity baseball and varsity basketball teams. Woods was born Sept. 27, 1936 and died on Saturday, Feb. 1. Woods began his career at Xaverian in 1960 and worked there until his retirement in
1998. He was a community leader and a member of the St. Francis Society, the Padraic Society and the Xaverian Athletic Hall of Fame. “John’s passing will leave a void that cannot be filled, but we are certain that his memory will continue to live on through the lives he impacted as an educator, counselor and coach,” read a statement issued by Xaverian High School. Testimonials have been pouring in from Woods’ former students. Attorney Rob Rich remembers Woods as a great educator. “I remember Mr. Woods as one of my
favorite teachers,” Rich told this paper. “I really liked him and he will be missed.” Xaverian President Robert Alesi said knowing Woods was a blessing. “While I am saddened to hear of John’s passing, I can’t help but smile at the blessing he was to the Xaverian community,” said Alesi. “It was my great fortune to have John as a teacher, coach and colleague,” Alesi added. “My prayers are with the Woods family as well as our own Xaverian family. He was a giant.” Woods was an Army veteran
