BBA Committee to consider chief judge’s court consolidation plan

BY ROB ABRUZZESE The Record

Chief Judge of the New York State Court of Appeals Janet DiFiore announced a proposal last month to consolidate the state’s court system from an 11-tier system to a three-tier system, and it has drawn mixed reactions in the Brooklyn legal community.

The plan has several key components. The first is that many of the courts — the local Supreme Court, Family Court, Surrogate’s Court and Court of Claims — would all be merged into one and called simply the Supreme Court, which would be split up in different divisions — family, probate, criminal, state claims, commercial and general.

The judges would all become Supreme Court justices and would undergo the same selection process, according to the proposal.

The plan would also give the state the right to increase the number of appellate divisions, which would potentially be a big relief in the Second Department, which encompasses Brooklyn, because it currently is comprised of approximately 55 percent of the state’s population while the other three departments cover just 45 percent.

South Asian Bar Association honors EDNY Magistrate Judge Sanket Bulsara

By Rob Abruzzese The Record

The South Asian Bar Association of New York (SABANY) held its 2019 Annual Leadership Awards Gala at Guastavino’s in Manhattan last Tuesday where it honored four people including Magistrate Judge Sanket Bulsara, of the Eastern District of New York.

Bulsara, who was installed a magistrate judge in the EDNY in November 2016, received the Legal Trailblazer Award.

The other honorees included Ravi Purohit, of the Blackstone Group, who received the Corporate Leadership Award; Anthony Sammi, from Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, who received the Litigation Achievement Award; and Chaumtoli Huq, an associate professor of law at the CUNY School of Law, who received the Access to Justice Award.

The keynote speaker at the event was U.S. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, (D-Illinois).

Judge Bulsara, a Bronx native raised by immigrant parents from India, is the first South Asian-American to serve as a judge within the Second Circuit. He previously served as the deputy general counsel at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Bulsara had the award presented to him by Debo Adegbile, who worked alongside Bulsara at Wilmer Hale. Adegbile explained that the two became close when Bulsara helped to mentor him in his early days at Wilmer Hale.

Adegbile referred to his friend as “the people’s choice” at the firm and shared a story from Bulsara’s high school days. Back then, he said, Bulsara had his heart set on attending Harvard University, but after he applied he was waitlisted.

Puzzled by this decision, his classmates started a petition and sent it to Harvard explaining that they had missed the “superstar” of their class.

“It’s not just that he’s been a first in his public service, it is the commitment that he brings to it. It’s the patience, the skill, the acumen that distinguishes him and why his career is so bright,” Adegbile said.

In humble fashion, after Bulsara accepted the award he immediately claimed that he doesn’t consider himself a trailblazer and then proceeded to give a speech where he talked about all of the great things the

“For me, the story of my father and Mr. Malkani is the story about the U.S., a country that banks on the success and hard work of immigrants,” judge Bulsara said. “A nation that has faith that helping strangers.”

“At the end of the night, I will be handing off this award to her,” he said. “Both because she’s a groundbreaking scientist in her own right but also someone who puts up with me everyday deserves a prize.”

Judge Bulsara then told the story about his father’s journey to the U.S. in the summer of 1969. He said that he came over to be an engineer and was sponsored by a Mr. Malkani. After his father arrived in Brooklyn, he said, he spent the next 50 years searching for Mr. Malkani, a man he didn’t know, to thank him for the sponsorship, but never found him.

BWBA honors Joanne Minsky Cohen at membership party

By Rob Abruzzese The Record

The Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association held its annual membership party last Thursday at the Brooklyn Bar Association, where it honored longtime member Joanne Minsky Cohen with the award it established in her name in 2016.

“When I first joined the board, Joanne was one of the most welcoming people I’ve ever met,” said BWBA President Meryl Schwartz.

“Probably everyone has the same experience with her. She comes and talks with you and is very wonderful, even if she doesn’t know you, and makes you feel welcome.”

Minsky Cohen, who graduated from Clark University and Western New England College of Law, started working for the courts in Brooklyn in 1988 and worked for more than two decades for Justice Bert Bunyan before his retirement.

She has served in numerous roles within the BWBA including vice president, recording secretary and director. She is most well known as the chair of the BWBA’s Breast Cancer Awareness Committee and for her coordinated efforts with Judges and Lawyers Breast Cancer Alert (JALBCA).

“She has been the point woman for the BWBA participation in the breast cancer walk and activities related to it since the early 2000s,” Schwartz said. “She has worked tirelessly to make the event successful every year.”

The award was originally established by then-president Helene Blank in 2016. The association created it to honor a person who provides outstanding service to the legal community and Brooklyn at large. Many of the members felt that Minsky Cohen exemplified that ideal so much that they wanted to name the award after her.

“I think back to the magnificent work the association has done as a leader in the fight against breast cancer,” Minsky Cohen said after she was presented with the award. “It has been my privilege to chair the committee for breast cancer awareness. The association has raised money for breast cancer research, sponsored mobile mammography vans, distributed literature and promoted public awareness of the need for early screening of breast cancer.”

The inaugural Joanne Minsky Cohen Award was given to Justice William Thompson in 2016. Thompson was a trailblazer in the local political and legal communities and was a known mentor to many judges and BWBA members.

“Three years ago, the BWBA honored me by establishing an award in my name,” Minsky Cohen said. “The first recipient of the award was the Hon. William Thompson. Justice Thompson, who has since passed away, was an excellent jurist, devoted friend and tireless mentor to many.

“It made me proud that the award bearing my name was giving it to him.”

Minsky Cohen thanked Blank for naming the award after her. She also made a point to thank Barbara Grcevic for naming her chair of the Breast Cancer Awareness Committee more than 20 years ago, as well as Holly Peck, Jennifer Fiorentino, Justice Ellen Spodek, Hon. Bert Bunyan and Hon. David Vaughan, for whom she currently works.

“I thank you for sharing the good and the not-so-good moments of my life,” Minsky Cohen said. “Thank you for being there for me when I needed you most. I’ll miss you in the courthouse. The association and breast cancer awareness are always in my heart.”

The BWBA will participate in this year’s Making Strides of Brooklyn walk hosted by the American Cancer Society in Coney Island on Sunday, Oct. 20. The walk starts at 10 a.m. at MCU Park and the BWBA will meet by 9:45 a.m. at Nathan’s Famous, 1310 Surf Ave.

DA Gonzalez creates arts-based diversion program for low-level crimes

By Rob Abruzzese The Record

Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez yesterday announced Project Reset, an arts-based educational program meant to keep people charged with certain misdemeanors out of court while still holding them accountable.

The program allows people charged with certain misdemeanors to receive a desk appearance ticket to resolve their cases by completing a diversionary course at the Brooklyn Museum instead of going to court.

“Project Reset aligns with my commitment to reduce our reliance on convictions and incarceration while still holding offenders accountable,” Gonzalez said. “This program addresses the conduct of those who commit misdemeanor offenses and confronts the consequences of their actions in a more meaningful way than traditional court sanctions.”

The project was created in partnership with the Center for Court Innovation, the Brooklyn Museum, the Legal Aid Society and Brooklyn Defender Services.

“This partnership helps harness the transformative power of art as a response to low-level crimes,”

Gonzalez said. “With the forthcoming expansion of DAT arrests under the new criminal justice reform law taking effect next year, this program will help us handle misdemeanors more efficiently and equitably while reducing the footprint of the criminal justice system.”

The program has been underway since May 20 in 10 Brooklyn North precincts and kicked off in the entire borough on Aug. 5, Gonzalez said. So far, Gonzalez said, 182 people have completed Project Reset and had their cases dismissed. He estimated that this represented over 50 percent of eligible people.

As part of the program, people arrested for misdemeanors including criminal mischief, petit larceny, disorderly conduct, unlawful assembly and others will receive a DAT and be screened for eligibility. The DA’s Office will notify assigned counsel that they have seven days to conduct outreach and consultation with their clients, who will then have three to four weeks to complete a course.

There will be two courses offered — one for people up to age 25 and another for people 26 and older.

The two-hour course will have participants view,

analyze and discuss works of art from the museum’s permanent collection, with social justice and prison reform themes, in a group setting. Individually, participants will also be required to create a piece of their own artwork in response to the discussion. The DA said it’s meant to help people learn about accepting responsibility and changing their personal narrative.

Another course will be offered by Brooklyn Justice Initiatives in its Downtown Brooklyn office.

That is a 90-minute program called, “Tools for New Thinking” and lets people work with social workers to learn how their values and thoughts can lead to better outcomes.

The DA’s Office will decline to prosecute people who complete either course. The case will be sealed and there will not be a court appearance.

“The Council is committed to this successful program,” said New York City Council Speaker Corey Johnson. “We reached an agreement with the administration to fund Project Reset citywide, with a $710,000 allocation from the Council and $3.2 million allocation from the administration.”

District Attorney Eric Gonzalez (at podium) was at the Brooklyn Museum on Wednesday to announce an arts-based diversion program that will keep Photo courtesy of the Brooklyn DA’s Office people out of prison without a court appearance.

The reactions to this proposal are mixed. Many lower court judges and acting Supreme Court judges are thrilled as they will automatically be named Supreme Court justices by 2025 and 2022, respectively. However, many current Supreme Court judges are unhappy because they would potentially be competing for appellate division spots in a larger pool of applicants.

Many judges who sit in Supreme Court have told the Record that they also worry that they could potentially be transferred to courts typically outside of the Supreme Court, such as the Family Court.

The Kings County Supreme Court's top judge, Administrative Judge Lawrence Knipel, told the Record that he was thrilled with the announcement.

He said he hopes that it passes the legislature and goes up for a vote because it would give administrative judges a greater ability to use the court's resources to their best advantage.

"At present, New York is laboring under a judicial structure which has remained essentially unchanged since at least 1936," Knipel said. "Since 1936, our world has changed, but our judicial system has not.

New York can do better than a maze of 11 separate trial courts. Most states have simplified to a system of a lower court and an upper trial court. It is long since time to join our sister states and adopt a streamlined structure designed for the expeditious delivery of justice."

Most importantly, Knipel added, this would allow Brooklyn to add additional judges as state law currently caps the number at a percentage of the population.

Presiding Justice Alan Scheinkman of the Appellate Division, Second Department, also said that he likes the proposal and admitted that it could take some of the pressure off of his court if a fifth appellate division were created within the state. He said, though, that if a fifth division were created, it would mean that the state would have to establish a new courthouse and add more judges.

"Any new appellate division would have to go hand in hand with a new courthouse and more judges," Justice Scheinkman said.

Many local attorneys were indifferent towards the merger because, they said, they don't see it as affecting their practices too much. There were a few, however, especially solo practitioners, or people who work in small firms, who worry that it could put a strain on their practice if they shuffle the physical structure of the courthouses too much.

"On first blush, I do not like it at all," said Dominic Famulari, past president of the Columbian Lawyers Association and Catholic Lawyers Guild.

"In the endorsements and support quotes that I read, it didn't look like they talked to too many solo practitioners. Instead, they spoke to people from white shoe firms, nonprofits etc. Those people don't work in the same world that the solo practitioners and small firm rank-and-file lawyers do."

Frank Carone, president of the Brooklyn Bar Association and executive partner at Abrams Fensterman, said that the bar association has put together a committee that will examine the proposal and make recommendations as needed. He said that he and the bar association would not condemn or support the proposal until that process is complete.

The special committee will be made up of committee chairs from the seven different committees that Carone thinks will be most affected. They are Frank Seddio; Michael Farkas; Aimee Richter; Pamela Walker; Hon. Mark Partnow, Supreme Court, Civil Term; Rebecca Rose Woodland and Jeffrey Miller.

"The new special committee will initially be made up of those (seven) chairs, but we may decide to expand it," Carone said. "We intend to take a strong specific opinion once the committee has had a chance to analyze and advise the board and make recommendations for the position of the association."

Some judges have been wary that consolidation of the courts could potentially hurt judicial independence in the state because judges can be elected or appointed in one area, Surrogate's Court, for instance, but then easily relocated at the whim of government officials if they don't like the job they're doing.

"The OCA proposal does not really simplify the structure of the courts," said Justice Wayne Saitta, chair of the board of Supreme Court Justices of Kings County. "It just relabels the Family Court, Surrogate Court and Court of Claims the Family, Probate and State Claims Divisions. It would imperil judicial independence as it would enable [the Office of Court Administration] to permanently transfer judges out of the courts they were elected to serve in."

Brooklyn Bar Association CLE covers new sexual harassment laws in New York State

By Rob Abruzzese The Record

New York State is finally taking sexual harassment in the workplace seriously and has implemented a series of new laws and statutes over the past 18 months. In order to make sense of these new rules, the Brooklyn Bar Association hosted a continuing legal education (CLE) seminar to help local attorneys understand the rights and requirements.

Justice Katherine Levine, Kings County Supreme Court, Civil Term, and attorneys Rachel Demarest Gold and Joan Lenihan took part in a discussion entitled, “New Sexual Harassment Reporting Requirements and First Amendment Implications” at the bar association on Tuesday, Sept. 24.

“The bottom line is that we all have the right to go to work, make a living and feed our families without being subjected to harassment and discrimination in the workplace, plain and simple,” Demarest Gold said.

Justice Levine, who sits in the city part in Kings County Supreme Court, is the chair of the employment and labor law committee at the Brooklyn Bar Association. Prior to her time on the bench, she worked for 23 years with the teachers’ union where she specialized in labor employment issues.

Demarest Gold is a partner at Abrams Fensterman where she practices with the firm’s labor and employment, criminal and government litigation, law and policy practice groups.

Prior to that, she served as a prosecutor in the Bronx District Attorney’s Office and the Office of the Attorney General under Andrew Cuomo.

She also helps clients with estate planning. She is also a regular CLE panelist at the Brooklyn Bar Association and the New York State Bar Association.

As part of the new law, most employees throughout the state must undergo required sexual harassment training (all workers upstate are required, but in New York City it’s only employees at companies

BROOKLYN LEGAL AD SERVICES: 4 | Thursday, October 10, 2019 | The Record of Law and Commerce

with 15 or more workers). All attorneys, including solo practitioners with at least one employee, are also required to take training sessions under the law.

Sexual harassment in the workplace has been illegal in the state for at least the last 40 years.

However, the new law brings additional requirements. One is that now managers, management, supervisors and executives are required to report any incidents they see and can be held personally liable if they do not.

“The law and process that has been put in place by the statute is designed to weed out not only people who are harassing and discriminating against other people, but to protect people who are victimized by accusations,” Demarest Gold said. “This isn’t an us-against-them, this isn’t about men or women, it’s about discrimination plain and simple, based on gender.”

Justice Levine explained that while many of the new rules are common sense, some are not, especially when it comes to speech. The judge spent time going over when and how people can get in trouble for their speech and offered a number of scenarios to demonstrate her explanations.

“What if two co-workers are speaking together and that conversation is meant to be private?” asked Justice Levine, who explained that there can be a difference in free speech rights for public and private employees, especially if that person is a government official in a management position.

Lenihan discussed the move to get rid of mandatory mediation clauses in employment contracts as well as non-disclosure agreements.

“Initially, the proponents of the legislation were very anxious to have prohibition of mandatory arbitration as well as non-disclosure agreements as part of the legislative package because they felt there was too much getting away with murder, if you will,” Lenihan said. “Many times, there were serial offenders who would make agreements that they could make go away quietly with a lot of money, or there was a clause that forced arbitration, so the matter stayed private.”

However, federal laws have made it hard for the state to get rid of mandatory arbitration entirely, she explained. She also said that, in some cases, people want to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

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

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

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

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

“Our literacy problem touches all types of students and stems from improper curriculum and a lack of screening of students for phonological awareness issues.” 

Justice John Hecht ordered him back to court Nov. 4 and told him to stay off the road, the News said. 

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

DANCE GROUP SEEKS $150K FOR NEW STUDIO

GOWANUS — A dance organization that has been in Gowanus

for more than 40 years is asking for help raising $150,000 to renovate its new studio on Butler Street, according to Patch.

Spoke the Hub Dancing, which first opened in Park Slope in 1979, is partnering with Koko NYC, a kids’ program, to open a new dance and art studio called the Gowanus Arts Annex.

The new studio needs extensive renovations before it can open. Spoke the Hub founder Elise Long started a GoFundMe account to raise the $150,000 for its needed upgrades. “This new Brooklyn arts center will house two of Brooklyn’s oldest, finest and most innovative not-for-profit community dance and arts organizations, in addition to the studios of artist Ben Lai,” Long wrote. 

The building is slated to have 12 apartments, most likely rentals, as well as community facility space. Lam Engineering is listed as the architect. 

BURGERS ARE A HIT AT RED HOOK TAVERN

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

Durney has said he designed his Red Hook Tavern burger as an homage to the one served at Peter Luger. 

LANDLORD, SON ACCUSED OF BEATING, INSULTING TENANT

SHEEPSHEAD BAY — An elderly Brooklyn landlord is accused of breaking into a tenant’s apartment, beating her with a cane and calling her the “N-word,” according to the Daily News. The landlord, identified as Eugene Simonetti, hasn’t been charged yet because he was hospitalized with a possible stroke after the confrontation. Simonetti and his son, Rocco Simonetti, went to the victim’s apartment on Voorhees Avenue at East 23rd Street in Sheepshead Bay on Sunday, prosecutors said.

The elder Simonetti removed the hinges from the tenant’s door, yelled a racial epithet in front of her children and then started beating her with a cane while the younger Simonetti started punching her, prosecutors claim. However, Simonetti’s lawyer, Nicole Mull, said the victim, identified in court papers as Veronica Cochran, grabbed the 87-year-old landlord’s cane and started beating him. Eugene Simonetti was charged with burglary, assault and child endangerment, the Daily News said.

Brooklyn-based artist designs new jerseys for Brooklyn Nets

BY JAIME DEJESUS JDEJESUS@BROOKLYNREPORTER. COM

The Nets are making a statement with their new jerseys.

Brooklyn artist Eric Haze designed the team’s 2019-20 statement edition uniform by Nike in concrete gray which features hand-drawn letters spelling “BKLYN” across the chest, as well as Haze’s signature stars running down the jersey’s left side, as a contemporary twist on one of the team’s most iconic throwback looks.

Haze also played a role in the creation of last year’s popular Nets statement jersey, which paid tribute to the Notorious B.I.G. via a customized *BED-STUY* mark for each player on the bottom of the uniform.

Haze, who has been an artist for 40 years, told this paper how he got involved in the organization.

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

Arcade brings virtual reality to Bensonhurst

BY JAIME DEJESUS

JDEJESUS@BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM

There’s a new game in town.

Over the years, arcades have mostly become places of the past, where kids from the ‘80s and ‘90s fed quarters into their favorite arcade games. Whether it be Ms. Pac-Man, Street Fighter or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, arcades offered friends the opportunity to get together to experience competition and a gaming experience they couldn’t get at home.

With leaps in technology for home consoles and computers, many arcades have shut their doors, leaving a void.

Now, however, the emergence of virtual reality (VR), a technology that requires relatively expensive and cumbersome headsets, has breathed new life into arcades.

Enter Futuristic VR, 6604 18th Ave., Bensonhurst’s first virtual reality arcade.

Owned by a local family, the arcade, which opened on July 1, provides tons of VR experiences using the PC-powered HTC VIVE PRO Headsets.

Owner Elona Lopari discussed the inspiration behind bringing a VR arcade to Bensonhurst and hopefully making it a family destination for years to come.

“We’ve actually lived in the area for the last 15 years and we had always struggled with finding things to do around Bensonhurst, so we’ve been using VR in our home for years

Photos courtesy of Futuristic VR

The virtual reality experience can now be enjoyed in Bensonhurst. now and it always brought us together as a family,” she explained.

“We thought, why don’t we bring the same kind of idea down to our neighborhood?” she explained.

“The idea was always around bringing people together and creating an environment where they could come in, just have fun and connect with their friends and families,” Lopari said.

The arcade also provides an educational component: students on class trips can virtually dissect a frog, for example, Lopari said, adding that customers have to experience VR to understand it. “You can’t really describe it to them.

That’s why we try to get them on the headset so then it speaks for itself. The response, once they finally put it on is, ‘Woah this is so cool.’”

Futuristic VR is open Monday through Friday from 1-9 p.m., Saturday, 11 a.m.-10 p.m. and Sunday, 12-8 p.m.

For more information or to book a station, visit www.futuristicvrworld.com.

FIAO honors Brooklyn Columbus Day Parade grand marshals at 38th annual brunch

BY JOHN ALEXANDER JALEXANDER@BROOKLYNEAGLE. COM

Christopher Columbus would be proud of the FIAO! The Federation of Italian American Organizations kicked off its annual Brooklyn Columbus Day Parade, which will take place on Saturday, Oct. 12 and run along 18th Avenue in Bensonhurst, with a festive brunch at which its grand marshals were honored.

The event, held at Sirico’s, 8023 13th Ave., on Sunday, Oct. 6, honored this year’s grand marshals: Francesco Genuardi, consul general of Italy in New York; Dr. Salvatore Cumella, executive vice president Lenco Diagnostic Laboratory and president and CEO of Cumella Professional Services; Capt. Anthony Longobardi, commanding officer of the 62nd Precinct; Robert Ciulla, principal at Dyker Heights Intermediate School; and Denise Daniello, director of admissions and community liaison at the Bensonhurst Center for Rehabilitation.

Brooklyn Columbus Day Parade Committee Executive Chairperson Jack Spatola served as master of ceremonies for the brunch.

President of FIAO and brunch chairperson Carlo Scissura said he was delighted with the multicultural aspect of the parade and the caliber of grand marshals selected this year, who were all chosen based on their exceptional service to the community.

“I think it’s an opportunity to celebrate the Italian culture, celebrate the community, celebrate the fact that our Columbus Day Parade includes all different ethnic groups and religious groups and people from across the communities,” Scissura told this paper.

City Councilmember Justin Brannan addresses guest at 38th annual Columbus Day brunch.

Grand Marshals Francesco Genuardi, Capt. Anthony Longobardi, Denise Daniello and Dr. Salvatore Cumella.

“And we’ve highlighted some amazing people that are serving as grand marshals this year.

We’re just excited about a great day on Saturday when the parade comes alive and everyone comes together,” added Scissura.

One of the topics discussed at the brunch was the refusal of the city to honor Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini with a statue for her many contributions to the city.

“The Italian-American community has contributed so much to our city and state, and in particular the contributions of Mother Cabrini should be recognized in the form of a statue and I’m an advocate of that,” Assemblymember Nicole Malliotakis told this paper.

“And just like we were successful in preserving and landmarking the Christopher Columbus statue in New York

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

INBrooklyn photo by Lore Croghan

By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn

Halloween is coming. What a perfect time for a walk in a Brooklyn graveyard.

Why not visit the one where American icon Jackie Robinson was laid to rest?

Robinson, who broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball in the 1940s when he played for the Brooklyn Dodgers, is buried at Cypress Hills Cemetery.

His grave can be found high up on a hill of the historic cemetery. When I was there a few days ago, his admirers had left a stack of baseballs and three baseball bats in front of his headstone.

Robinson, who died in 1972, spent a lifetime fighting for racial equality on and off the baseball field. After his retirement from the sport, he became the first African American to work as a vice president of a big American company and also the first African American to work as a Major League Baseball commentator, History.com says.

“A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives,” is the inspirational message engraved on his tombstone.

There’s high-profile Green-Wood Cemetery in Greenwood Heights, where the celebrity graves include those of Neo-Expressionist artist Jean-Michel Basquiat and composer Leonard Bernstein. If you really want to get into the mood for Halloween, Green-Wood offers night-time tours.

And there’s the Evergreens Cemetery in Bushwick, where tap dancer Bill “Bojangles” Robinson and many victims of the

Triangle Shirtwaist Fire are buried.

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

— Continued on page 17INB —

TAKE THE J TRAIN Three of Brooklyn’s numerous graveyards are famous, and Cypress Hills is one of them. If you have time this busy autumn, Brooklyn Dodgers great Jackie Robinson makes a home run in a 1948 game at Ebbets Field. AP Photo/Ray Howard you should visit the other two as well.

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

AN UNDERGROUND RAILROAD CONDUCTOR AND AMERICA’S FIRST BLACK FEMALE LAWYER The graveyard’s winding, scenic roadways can lead you in lots of different directions. The path I took on my recent stroll led me to a monument for Rev. Charles Ray and his daughter Charlotte Ray. The clergyman was also a journalist and an Underground Railroad conductor. His mother was a fugitive slave and his father was a free black man, author Tom Calarco says in “People of the Underground Railroad: A Biographical Dictionary.”

Between 1840 and 1853, Ray was the secretary of an anti-slavery organization called the New York Committee of Vigilance.

During those years, he helped more than 1,700 slaves escape to freedom, and helped an unknown number of fugitives after that, Calarco writes.

The minister’s daughter Charlotte Ray was the first black woman in the United States to become a lawyer.

She used her initials instead of her full name to disguise her gender when she applied to Howard University’s law school. She graduated with a law degree in 1872 and was admitted to the bar in Washington, D.C. that same year, a posting on the website BlackPast says. She opened her own law firm.

In 1875, Ray went to court seeking a divorce for a woman whose violent, drunken husband had chopped a hole in their home’s wood floor and threatened to push her through it, a posting on History.com says. Divorce was rare in that era, but Ray won the case.

Because of racial and gender bias, Ray couldn’t get enough clients to keep her law firm open. She moved to New York City in 1879 and became a schoolteacher in Brooklyn.

EARLY RESIDENTS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD After paying my respects to the Rev. Charles Ray and Charlotte Ray, I headed up the hill (one of many, many hills in the bucolic landscape).

Shortly thereafter, I discovered the grave of John Pitkin, who was born in 1794 and died in 1847. He was an early developer in East New York. Neighborhood residents remember his name every time they head out on Pitkin Avenue.

An East New York Street that runs perpendicular to Pitkin Avenue — Eldert Lane — is named after John Eldert, who died in 1905 and is also buried at Cypress Hills Cemetery. The Eldert family owned a farm and farmhouse at the corner of Atlantic Avenue and Eldert Lane, the cemetery’s map says.

Further along the way, I saw lovely statues on pedestals.

On the Dreyer monument, the statue is a woman wearing a beautifully draped dress and holding a wreath.

On the Newman monument, the statue is a winged angel.

A PLACE OF HONOR FOR POLICE OFFICERS Stone obelisks are another popular type of monument at Cypress Hills Cemetery.

The one that marks the grave of Oliver Halsey has rows of realistic-looking tassels carved into it. It’s very eye-catching.

Despite all my meandering around the peaceful graveyard, I did get to Jackie Robinson’s grave to pay my respects. What an inspirational person.

After that, I headed to the other side of the cemetery to the Police Arlington Memorial, which is a special burial place created by the Metropolitan Police Benevolent Association in 1871.

It is also known as the NYPD Honor Legion Police Memorial Garden.

There are markers to alert visitors to two notable people buried there.

One is Rabbi Abraham Blum, who was the NYPD’s first Jewish chaplain.

He was appointed to his post in 1911 and served until his death in 1921, the NYPD said when it celebrated the 100th anniversary of its Jewish chaplaincy.

The other is Henry Haywood, a New York City police officer who served as one of Teddy Roosevelt’s Rough Riders in the 1898 Spanish-American War in Cuba.

Haywood died from a gunshot wound he sustained during the Battle of San Juan Hill. His body was ID’d thanks to the police badge he’d attached to the inside of his shirt, a posting on the website Find A Grave says.

He got his start in business by working as a clerk in a grocery store that also sold wholesale tobacco products. He used his savings to buy the shop in the early 1870s when the owner couldn’t keep it afloat financially, a Brownstoner.com story by architectural history expert Suzanne Spellen says.

His first factory was the Bushwick Tobacco Works. He later set up a larger factory in Glendale, Queens.

There’s another extraordinary thing to see in this part of Cypress Hills Cemetery. In 1862, a National Cemetery was established for Civil War soldiers.

Thousands of ghostly white tombstones are lined up in long rows on the hillsides.

There’s something to keep in mind when you take a graveyard stroll. The distances are vast and the gates are locked at a specific time. In Cypress Hills Cemetery, it’s 4:30 p.m.

After you leave, take a moment to look at the old-fashioned arched entryway on Jamaica Avenue.

It’s made of brick and stone and has an elaborately decorated roof. It’s an impeccable replica of the original structure, which was built in 1893.

A CIVIL WAR BURIAL GROUND

This is Cypress Hills Cemetery’s Jamaica Avenue gate.

Near the NYPD’s memorial garden, you’ll find one of the largest monuments in Cypress Hills Cemetery. It’s an imposing statue of a woman pointing skywards. She’s standing on an extremely tall pedestal.

The monument marks the grave of Henry Meyer, a German immigrant who grew wealthy by founding the Ivanhoe Brand Pipe and Chewing Tobacco Co.

Brooklyn Daily Eagle cover from Oct. 7, 1927

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

ON OCT. 9, 1927, the Eagle reported, “The New York Yankees are baseball champions of the world today by virtue of the fact that they won four games from the Pittsburg Pirates in a row — and because in yesterday’s battle, the last of the series, John Miljus inserted a wild pitch into the ninth inning with the bases loaded with Yankee ball players. The score of the fourth game was 4 to 3.

And it was just about as hectic and wild a bit of athletic drama as one could want to see. They made baseball, it seems, for this …

‘I can’t blame Miljus a mite for the wild pitch that lost the game,’ [Pirates] Manager Donie Bush said. ‘It was just the final break.

Johnnie Gooch has caught worse balls in his career, although that was a very bad pitch, but the series is over and I must give credit to the Yankees as one of the finest clubs in the history of baseball.’”  ON OCT. 9, 1939, the Eagle reported, “Moscow, Oct. 9 (AP) — Soviet Russia threw her weight behind Adolf Hitler’s peace gestures today in an editorial in the government newspaper Izvestia, accusing Great Britain and France of ‘returning to the Middle Ages’ for waging war to ‘exterminate Hitlerism.’ At the same time, it was announced Premier-Foreign Minister Commissar Vyacheslaff Molotov had reached a quick decision last night with leaders of a German trade delegation. The delegation arrived only yesterday to expedite stimulated trade between Russia and Germany under the recent formal trade and credit agreements between the Nazi-Communist partners. It was not specified what goods were involved.”  ON OCT. 9, 1945, the Eagle reported, “Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, the white-haired grinning Texan who steered the Pacific fleet from the ruins of Pearl Harbor to the triumph of Tokyo Bay, took New York today in the most impressive reception awarded heroes of this war to date. Given a tumultuous ‘well done’ with him were 13 veterans who earned the Congressional Medal of Honor under his command during the three years it took to send the Japanese fleet to the bottom of the sea. Climax of the reception, at which even the skies cleared for the man who was not afraid to ride typhoons to victory, was the stop at City Hall. There, before massed thousands, after a triumphal parade led by 4,000 sailors, marines and coast guardsmen and seven proudly blaring bands through the traditional ‘heroes’ canyon’ of downtown Manhattan, Admiral Nimitz received the city’s honorary citizenship and a specially struck gold medal.”  ON OCT. 10, 1849, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reprinted an article from the New York Evening Post, which read, “Edgar A. Poe. — This distinguished author, who was well known in our city for his infirmities as for his genius, died suddenly in Baltimore, on Sunday. His life had been one of unusual and painful vicissitudes.

His youth was embittered by the wreck of hopes in which he had indulged until it was too late for him to be educated to the career of independence that awaited him. After leaving the University of Virginia, he passed some time in Europe, and on his return, still young, he entered the Military Academy at West Point, which he left, to undertake the profession of literature. His experience is an addition to the many mournful examples of the vexations and sufferings which follow such an election. He was an industrious, original and brilliant writer; and besides his numerous contributions to the periodicals, he published in volumes Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque; Arthur Gordon Pym (a nautical romance), Poems, Eureka (an essay on the material and spiritual universe), Tales, and two or three elementary books on science. He resided the three or four last years at Fordham near this city.”

Isles end season-opening homestand homewith a dud Neal scores four goals as Edmonton rolls to 5-2 win at NYCB Live

By John Torenli Bay Ridge Eagle

“Soft” is a bad adjective for a professional hockey club, but it fit the New York Islanders’ performance in Tuesday night’s 5-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers, according to Head Coach Barry Trotz.

“I think we were looking for an easy game, and I’m disappointed with that because we knew it wasn’t going to be,” Trotz lamented after New York fell to 1-2 on its season-opening threegame home-stand in front of 10,985 fans at NYCB Live, better known as the ren-ovated Nassau Coliseum.

“Too many turnovers, too soft on the battle and [we] took too many penalties,” Trotz added.

After splitting their first two contests, including Sunday’s 4-1 victory over Winnipeg in Uniondale, N.Y., the Islanders (1-2-0) broke out to a 1-0 lead over the visiting Oilers when Anthony Beau-villier lit the lamp on a shorthanded tally with 5:46 remaining in the opening period.

But, it all went downhill from there for New York, which watched helplessly as Edmonton’s James Neal scored the next three goals, includ-ing two on the power play, on his way to a career-high four-goal night.

Isles goaltender Semyon Varlamov, signed this summer to re-place departed Vezina Trophy finalist Robin Lehner, was pulled af-ter yielding four goals on only 19 shots.

He was replaced by Thomas Greiss, who surrendered Neal’s fourth goal and sixth in three games this season to give Edmonton (3-0-0) a commanding 5-1 lead.

“We took too many penalties,” Trotz said. “It’s not a winning combination when the only two things that you did for the most part tonight was win face-offs and turn pucks over.”

Matt Martin capped the scoring with his first of the year, with just under 6 1/2 minutes remaining, but by then it was too late for the Isles to mount a serious comeback as they prepared for their first road contest of the season in Carolina on Friday night.

“We certainly didn’t quit, so that’s a positive,” said Martin.

“But we’ve got [to] get out of the gates better. We haven’t really come out of the gates in the first period and played well at all yet. In our build-ing, that’s usually our forte. We’ve got to do a better job of that.”

The Isles, who led the league in goals allowed last year, had surrendered just three tallies over the season’s first two games, but were uncharacteristically porous on the defense end Tuesday against the Oilers, something they must correct Friday against the team that swept them out of last year’s playoffs.

“We’ve got to reflect a little bit on this one,” Islanders captain Anders Lee said.

“It wasn’t a very good effort. Top to bottom, we were just kind of all over the place,” he added. “We gave them too much room, didn’t close on them and we were sloppy. A team like that with that much skill, we can’t give them that kind of space. Our overall effort was just disappointing.” *** In other local pro sports news, the Brooklyn Nets are still scheduled to play their two exhibition games in China against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers despite mounting tensions between the NBA and the Chinese government.

The first game will be in Shanghai on Thursday and the second is slated for Saturday in Shenzhen.

However, for the second straight day the Chinese government cancelled an NBA Cares event Wednesday, this one to be hosted by the Lakers after the Nets’ initial event was called off on Tuesday.

The cancellations came in response to a tweet by Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey last Friday in support of the ongoing Hong Kong protests calling for more political freedom in China.

The Rockets and the NBA have already lost several notable Chinese sponsors over the ongoing controversy and tensions have not exactly eased during this week, which was designed to help the league grow its global brand in the world’s largest international market for basketball.

According to the Associated Press, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver did not expect the games to be cancelled, but was heading to Shanghai to help repair the situation.
