‘I’ve been there’: Mendez is running on her own record By linColn AnDerson AnD HeATHer DUBin Councilmember Rosie Mendez is campaigning for re-election based on her track record of service over the past eight years.

She’s facing a challenge that she appears to be taking seriously from Pastor Richard Del Rio, who she accuses of being “a Republican masquerading as a Democrat.”

Fracktivists boo Obama Upstate By sArAH fergUson More than 500 “fracktivists” lined the sidewalk outside Binghamton University to greet President Obama as he recently toured Upstate New York.

While Obama came to Binghamton on Aug. 23 to pitch his new rating system for reining in college tuition costs,

the activists were there to protest his support for the controversial method of natural gas extraction known as hydrofracking.

“Ban fracking now!” they chanted as the president’s motorcade sped past.

sCOOPY’s

nOteBOOK sTATe senATe rUMBlings: We hear that, getting ready for the chance that Daniel Squadron pulls it off and wins the public advocate race, at least three local politicos are positioning themselves to run for his 26th District state Senate seat — District Leader Paul Newell, Assemblymember Brian Kavanagh and former City Councilmember Alan Gerson. Newell, perhaps strategically, is backing John Liu for mayor. A source tells us District Leader Newell feels he would need Chinatown to win the state senate race, so is backing the AsianAmerican comptroller. As for Kavanagh, well, the same source tells us he has moved into the tiny corner of his Assembly district that overlaps with Squadron’s senate district. A Kavanagh spokesperson didn’t respond with an answer to our query about that one by deadline. As for Gerson, we were walking by Silver Spurs, his H.Q. on LaGuardia Place, the other night, and saw him sitting in his usual seat and talking intently on one of his two BlackBerries. Perhaps laying the groundwork for his political return? The plot thickens… Oh waitress, more coffee, please!

DisTriCT leADer BesT HiTs: How about that West Village Democratic district leader race? Assemblymember Deborah Glick is taking shots at one of her perennial penyatas, Arthur Schwartz. Reaching all the way back to the 2004 presidential election, she slammed him as clearly a “misogynist” for backing Obama over Hillary in the Democratic primary. Schwartz responded that since Glick didn’t endorse Obama then “does that mean she’s a racist?” Also, he said, his three daughters love him.

District Leader Jonathan Geballe, Schwartz’s opponent, no doubt, is probably just trying to stay out of this one, and possibly just playing his guitar. He originally came to New York to make it big as a folk singer. “Tangled up in blue (state)”? Meanwhile, the third candidate in the race, Deley Gazinelli, is proclaiming that he’s running against “a real estate lawyer.” Apparently, he’s not referring to Schwartz, who is a union attorney, but Geballe, who does some real estate law as part of his practice. When in doubt, just throw around the “real estate” label!

ment! Michael McKee of Tenants PAC, which has endorsed Johnson, is so fed up with Kurland’s relentlessly negative campaign, that he put out an e-mail statement last week chiding Kurland to stop calling Johnson a “real estate executive.” “We call on Kurland to stop these scurrilous attacks,” McKee scolded. “The community deserves candidates who stick to the issues.”

‘WilD MAn’ sAgA ConTinUes: Richard Pearson, a.k.a. the “Soho Wild Man,” a mentally ill man accused of terrorizing residents and merchants of Soho and Nolita by verbally and physically harassing them, pleaded not guilty in State Supreme Court on Wed., Sept. 4 for possession of cocaine. Pearson, 48, is charged with second-degree assault, a felony, for allegedly throwing a brick at a person’s head on May 17. However, two grand juries have failed to indict Pearson for the assault — though they have both indicted him for possession of a narcotic, a misdemeanor. On Wednesday, Alex Grosshtern, Pearson’s attorney, appealed to Judge Charles Solomon for his client’s release. With a felony charge no longer pending, Grosshtern said the case belongs in Criminal Court not State Supreme Court.

The sole charge is now a misdemeanor, and Grosshtern feels Pearson’s time served, four months, has been more than appropriate. “Under ordinary circumstances, it would not warrant time served,” he said. But Assistant District Attorney James Zaleta countered by referring to Pearson’s previous history of six arrests, all in Soho, and various other crimes he has committed over the years. The A.D.A. also argued that Pearson’s admission that he had drugs when arrested — when Pearson said, “You’re not going to take my drugs away?” —warrants the maximum jail sentence of a year. Zaleta presented Pearson with an option in return for a guilty plea. “Our office is not opposed to alternative incarceration that would benefit the community and Mr. Pearson,” Zaleta said. The judge noted Pearson has substance abuse problems and mental health issues, and he deemed the A.D.A.’s offer of an alternative or treatment reasonable.

Pearson refused the deal, and Solomon acknowledged the defendant was the only person who could make that decision. Solomon also said if Pearson entered a guilty plea, he would lessen his sentence, but didn’t immediately say by how much. Pearson became vocal and grew frustrated with the situation. “I don’t want to go back there,” he said. Five court officers surrounded Pearson

as he continued to mutter how the situation was “petty,” and that he thought he had done his time by now.

Solomon informed Pearson he had already reduced his bail, and asked Grosshtern to explain to his client why the case is going to trail. The case is adjourned to Oct. 7 for a hearing and trial.

De BlAsio rUles THe sTreeTs(PAC): StreetsPAC — a new grassroots advocacy group for “safer and more livable streets” — has endorsed Bill de Blasio for mayor. The group cited de Blasio’s strong commitment to bring connected bike lanes and better bus service to the outer boroughs, and to fight reckless speeding that puts New Yorkers at risk. “Bill understands how important biking, walking and transit are to the future of New York City,” said Steve Vaccaro, a StreetsPAC founding board member. “He knows that safe streets are no accident and he has promised to wage an aggressive campaign to reduce injuries and fatalities caused by motor-vehicle crashes. Bill is committed to working with communities to expand the benefits of better bus service, pedestrian-safety measures and improved and connected biking across all five boroughs as mayor.

StreetsPAC supports his progressive, equitable vision.”

Last month, de Blasio announced his “Vision Zero” plan, which StreetsPAC hailed as “unprecedented” for its strategy to reduce crashes, injuries and fatalities on city streets. The plan calls for reconfiguring at least 50 dangerous intersections per year and for increased use of traffic cameras and an end of Albany control over the cameras’ use in the city. De Blasio has also pledged to increase bike lanes and bicycling, expand bike-share to the outer boroughs, and focus traffic enforcement on the locations and behavior that represent the biggest dangers to New Yorkers. “This is part of the bedrock of

D’Onofrio backs de Blasio, who has Quinn on his back

By Jefferson Siegel Saturday evening, Public Advocate Bill de Blasio made a stop on his mayoral campaign at First Ave. and 16th St. to shake hands with residents of Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village. In July, de Blasio received the endorsement of Tenants PAC, which backs candidates who are strong supporters of tenants’ rights.

The PAC is also backing Brooklyn Councilmember Letitia James to succeed de Blasio as public advocate.

De Blasio was joined in the hour-long meet-and-greet on Aug. 31 by his daughter, Chiara, state Senator Liz Krueger, Assemblymember Brian Kavanagh and Al Doyle, former president of the Stuyvesant Town Tenants Association.

Also at the event were a half dozen anti-de Blasio protesters. Carrying signs with two faces of de Blasio bearing the slogan, “Will the Real de Blasio Please Stand Up,” the group stood silently while the candidate’s supporters tried to block their signs with their own campaign placards.

When a reporter asked a woman who was handing out fliers with the heading, “FACT CHECK: Bill de Blasio Talks Out of Both Sides of His Mouth on Luxury Development,” what campaign she was with, she replied, “Quinn for New York.” However, her fliers did not

have the name of any group. The onesided sheet was a reprint of four quotes from an article in Capital New York.

De Blasio has recently come under attack for, among other things, his failure to disclose meetings with lobbyists for the real estate industry, as well as his flip-flopping on extending term limits — although he now slams Quinn on the latter.

Several of the protesters spent the hour filming de Blasio with their cell phones. One even had his photo taken with the candidate.

Among those who stopped to meet the mayoral hopeful was actor Vincent D’Onofrio. D’Onofrio, best known for his work on “Law & Order: Criminal Intent,” said he came to show his support for de Blasio.

“I hope that this guy wins,” D’Onofrio said while hoisting his son onto his shoulders. He added that de Blasio showed concern for children forced into long bus rides to and from school.

Recent polls show de Blasio with a sizeable lead over his closest challengers, Council Speaker Christine Quinn and former City Comptroller Bill Thompson.

The primary election is next Tues., Sept. 10. If no candidate wins 40 percent of the vote, there will be a runoff three weeks later on Tues., Oct. 1. The general election is Nov. 5.

Christine Quinn supporters made their presence known at a Bill de Blasio stop at Stuyvesant Town on Saturday evening. Charging that de Blasio “talks out of both sides of his mouth,” they handed out fliers with a quote from an article in Capital New York, saying how the public advocate has been a “pragmatic deal-maker who chose his battles carefully on the issue of development, rather than that of the populist hardliner he now sounds like.”

Obama is booed by fracktivists at Binghamton visit Continued from page 1 ing an array of colorful anti-fracking posters designed by his students at the School of Visual Arts and other Upstate artists.

Castrucci said he felt a little weird demonstrating against the president.

“I voted for Obama twice, and this is the first time I’ve ever protested against him. But he’s starting to sound like a commercial for the gas industry,” Castrucci said of Obama’s support for expanding domestic gas production in the U.S. as a vehicle for energy independence — despite mounting concerns over groundwater contamination by hydrofracking and the level of radioactive radon in both the drilling’s waste water and the “fracked” gas itself.

“It’s really sad that a politician cannot exist without the gas companies having him in their pockets,” Castrucci added. “That’s a real failure of our democracy.” At his side was his 8-year-old son, Renzo, who had pasted a “Ban Fracking” sticker over his mouth to show how “We have no voice,” he said.

The demonstration was organized by New Yorkers Against Fracking, a coalition of more than 200 groups, which took out a full-page ad in the Binghamton Press & Sun on Aug. 23 with the headline: “President Obama: Stop covering up the science on fracking!”

A few miles away, several dozen prodrillers gathered along Interstate 81 to show

Obama their support for hydrofracking. One group, the Joint Landowners Coalition, had a flatbed truck bearing a large painted sign that read: “Lower School Taxes: NY NEEDS NATUAL GAS” — having forgotten the “R” in “Natural.”

New York’s “Southern Tier” — lying west of the Catskill Mountains and bordering Pennsylvania — is ground zero in the battle over hydrofracking. Proponents say gas revenues could revive this depressed region, which has been losing farms and manufacturing jobs since the 1970s.

But opponents say the boom-and-bust cycle of gas drilling — and the environmental risks to the region’s water and tourism industry — will ultimately drain the economy further.

“We’re calling it ‘vampire economics’ because it’s all about coming, sucking and leaving,” said Isaac Silberman-Gorn, an organizer with Citizen Action in Binghamton.

During his speech on Aug. 23, Obama referred to fracked gas as a “transitional fuel” in the effort to stem climate change. But recent studies have shown that the amount of methane released by shale gas wells could actually accelerate climate change more than our current reliance on so-called dirty fuels like coal and oil.

“Here in this region, we’ve had four 200-year floods in a period of six years,” Silberman-Gorn pointed out. “They are going to continue to get worse. It’s my generation

that has to deal with that.”

Notably absent from Obama’s Upstate tour was Governor Cuomo, whom many accuse of trying to play both sides of the fracking debate. Earlier this year, Cuomo extended the now five-year moratorium on hydrofracking in New York, pending a review of the health impacts.

But a growing infrastructure of gas pipelines and compressor stations continues to be constructed across the state, leading critics to believe the governor is just waiting until after his presumed re-election to lift the

moratorium and allow drilling to proceed on an “experimental” basis.

Gas proponents say tapping the Marcellus Shale could provide cheap energy to New York and attract manufacturing, while reducing America’s dependence on foreign oil.

“Drill a Gas Well, Bring a Soldier Home,” urge weathered billboards posted along roads and farms Upstate. But opponents question how much of the fracked gas would actually remain here.

“The idea that we’re going to be swimming in cheap domestic gas is a myth,” maintained Silberman-Gorn. “Here in the U.S., gas is $3 per 1,000 cubic feet, while overseas its upward of $15. These companies have a fiduciary obligation to their shareholders to get this gas overseas and maximize profits.”

Hence the concern about the so-called Millennium, Constitution, Spectra and Rockaway pipelines, which activists believe will be used to transport fracked gas to East Coast ports for export.

“Obama has signed an M.O.U. [memorandum of understanding] agreement for gas export with India and China and eight other nations,” Silberan-Gorn added.

“We’re dealing with the most powerful lobbies in the world. This is about multinational corporations that run the world and bought our president.”

While companies are currently barred from fracking in New York City’s Upstate watershed, Castrucci said city folk should not feel immune.

“Right now under the current rules, they can drill a quarter mile from the watershed,” said Castrucci, who now lives half the year in an old house bordering the Unadilla River in Mt. Upton, N.Y. “But this is a new technology, so we don’t really know how that will affect us, because these aquifers are all connected.”

The toxic mix of chemicals injected into the shale wells could migrate, he fears.

“They are already dumping the radioactive brine [waste from gas drilling] from Pennsylvania in Upstate New York,” Castrucci noted.

“All that Greek yogurt that they’re now serving in public schools is produced Upstate,” he added of the Chobani yogurt factory in South Edmonston, N.Y. “Where do you think they’re getting the water from?”

Squadron says he would ‘advocate’ for the most needy

By HeATHer DUBin State Senator Daniel Squadron hopes to empower the underserved residents of New York if elected in his current bid for public advocate in the Sept. 10 Democratic primary.

In 2008, Squadron, at age 28, was elected, unseating Martin Connor, who had represented the 26th State Senate District for 30 years. The district includes the Lower East Side, Soho, Chinatown and all of Lower Manhattan, plus parts of Brooklyn, including Brooklyn Heights, Williamsburg and Greenpoint.

Now Squadron wants to apply what he’s learned in office as a state senator to the public advocate’s job, which is a citywide office.

In a recent telephone interview, Squadron spoke briefly about the changes he would bring to the position, if elected.

“This is a job that has the potential to take on issues and communities that are not well enough served outside of this office,” he said.

Squadron feels some people don’t have a strong enough voice in the political system, and he plans to give them one. When people have nowhere else to turn, Squadron wants the public advocate’s office to be an actual resource for them.

If elected, Squadron would transform the public advocate’s office into four separate bureaus to address a total of 20 issues for people in need. The “accountability advocate” would focus on making city government more transparent.

The “housing advocate” would be a voice for tenants. The “advocate for the most vulnerable” would defend human rights. And the “children’s advocate” would monitor city services for at-risk youth. Each bureau would have its own staff and an external advisory board.

Together, these bureaus would create an institutional role for the public advocate’s office and make a difference in people’s lives, Squadron believes.

Squadron’s sprawling district stretches from the Carroll Gardens subway station to the W. Fourth St. subway station on the F train line. In fact, one of his issues has been to focus on improving subway service on the F and L lines, since there is so much traffic back and forth between the Brooklyn and Lower East Side parts of his district, especially on weekends.

He has also worked to end the city’s policy of charging rent to families in homeless shelters, and worked with community stakeholders to help transform Pier 42 into a future waterfront park space. With U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer, he’s secured significant funding to fix up the dilapidated former Lower East Side banana pier.

Squadron credits collaboration with partnerships, local Democratic district leaders and other groups in helping him reach his goals. He has worked extensively on issues involving New York City Housing Authority developments, and in the state Senate sponsored the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act (GENDA) and a bill to close loopholes in the state’s assault weapons ban. Squadron was also proud of his role during and after Hurricane Sandy last fall, and claimed it was an important one because of the gaps in the city’s emergency-response plans.

If elected, Squadron said he sees continue working collaboratively to make the public advocate’s office a go-to place for New Yorkers in need.

Defining the way he sees the advocate’s job, he said, “The core goal is to start gathering information, use the bully pulpit and figure out creative solutions that you’re willing to stand for to push a change and get results.”

Originally from the Bronx, Squadron currently lives in Brooklyn with his wife and young son.

‘I’ve been there’: Mendez is running on her record Continued from page 1 request for proposals [R.F.P.] last year, and that then Hurricane Sandy happened months later, shifting everyone’s focus toward dealing with the storm’s disastrous and drawn-out impact. Some NYCHA buildings were hit pretty hard during the storm, Mendez said, noting that certain buildings in Red Hook, Brooklyn, are still without working boilers.

“That the infill isn’t moving forward means the three of us representing the districts [Councilmembers Margaret Chin, Melissa Mark-Viverito and herself] were successful,” she said.

However, Mendez also asserted that the federal government has given its blessing to the controversial plan, and that it could proceed if the city wanted it to. But, due to the vehement opposition, the Bloomberg administration recently slowed down on the infill plan, and is now only requesting “expressions of interest,” rather than actual proposals from developers.

As an alternative revenue-raising measure for the cash-strapped authority, Mendez said, she supports rescinding a memorandum of understanding between NYCHA and the Police Department under which NYCHA must pay $75 million annually for police to patrol its developments. On the other hand, the infill plan was only expected to bring in $35 million to $50 million a year for the city.

As for the problem of rats in the Baruch bathhouse — which Del Rio blames her for allowing to fester — Mendez said rats are a stubborn problem in the district, in general. She is working with the Department of Sanitation and its Rodent Task Force to combat the problem with tactics like mint-scented garbage bags, special garbage cans and rat traps. Mendez said the Baruch bathhouse is empty and owned by the city’s Parks Department.

“Now, I’m concerned about the rats that are in playgrounds where the children are in,” she said.

Additionally, Mendez spoke at length about her vote on New York University’s 2031 plan. She explained she votes with her constituents in mind, and not always the way she feels on a given issue. In fact, almost all councilmembers say they generally vote with the “lead negotiator” on issues, which in this case was Margaret Chin, whose district contains the N.Y.U. South Village superblocks.

Mendez said the university’s massive project was scaled back, and that, in separate but parallel negotiations with N.Y.U., 200 to 300 affordable housing units at 505 LaGuardia Place — a Mitchell-Lama co-op with many long-term and senior tenants, on the southern superblock — were preserved.

“Many of my constituents were upset, but I’m not going to be apologetic for ultimately voting for something that also helped save and make permanent affordable housing,” she said.

Rosie Mendez.

“Alan was unable to get this,” Mendez said of Chin’s predecessor in the City Council, Alan Gerson, who actually lives in 505 LaGuardia.

“Margaret Chin could get it.”

Also, Mendez added, it is preferable for N.Y.U. to build on its own superblocks than haphazardly at other sites throughout the area, as they find them.

“There would be sites throughout our three districts [Council Districts 1, 2 and 3] where they would be able to build — and build higher. Here they were able to build [some of the project] underground,” she said of the superblocks.

In terms of her attendance at City Council meetings, Mendez said she was present at 80 to 90 percent of the meetings for most of the past eight years.

“There was one year when my attendance was 78 percent,” she said. “My mother was hospitalized, and the speaker [City Council Speaker Christine Quinn] knew I had to leave and go to Puerto Rico. I’m sure my community understands in that given year I was there for my parents.” Another year she had knee surgery, which also contributed to absences.

“And that only takes into account official hearings,” Mendez noted. “It doesn’t count tenant meetings, block association meetings, garden association meetings, park events, school meetings.

“But more importantly, like — what has he done?” Mendez fired back at Del Rio. “CHARAS, Stanton St. Shul, St. Brigid’s, Con Edison — the pollutants, the expansion, the [stray voltage] accident that killed Jodie Lane — I’ve been there. He’s not been there. … He showed up for Sandy because he wanted to run.”

Del Rio is an active proponent of religious organizations using public schools for worship services when the schools are not in session. He currently holds church services at a public school in the East Village.

Mendez said she strongly supports the U.S. Constitution, which mandates a very clear

separation of church and state.

“That’s the issue he’s running on — church in schools,” she declared of Del Rio. “I haven’t seen him involved in anything but that issue. I’ve only seen him at City Hall on that issue.

“I let the Constitution be my guide,” she asserted. “And, in addition, as an out lesbian, I have issues with some of the organizations. They’re allowed to preach whatever they want to preach — I just don’t think they should be able to do it in a public place.

“I don’t go to church,” she added. “They don’t accept me [as a lesbian]. I used to go to St. Brigid’s.”

Asked about her personal beliefs, she said, “I was raised Catholic. I think I’m spiritual. I don’t embrace a certain religion right now. Spirituality comes in a number of different ways. The greatest part of spirituality is our humanity, particularly how we treat people in need.”

Although Del Rio aided the community after Sandy through relief efforts working with his church, Mendez touts her own record working with the area’s other local elected officials to restore services and help get people vital supplies.

“The only thing he ever did was Sandy,” Mendez stated. “He was telling people I wasn’t here [during Sandy] — a lot of lies.

He made it sound like he was the only one here. I was walking up and down Avenue D with a bullhorn telling people to evacuate [before the storm].”

As for term limits, Mendez said she opposed overturning them legislatively, but that, in general, she doesn’t believe in them, except for certain powerful offices like the mayor and City Council speaker.

This is why she is now running for a third term, despite having spoken out on the floor of the City Council in 2008 to oppose overturning term limits legislatively — even citing The Villager’s editorial on the subject when she did so.

Pastor who led Sandy relief effort vies for Council Continued from page 1 Sandy’s arrival last Oct. 29, Del Rio and his church members organized a relief effort. Food and supplies were ultimately distributed at the Dry Dock Playground, at E. 10th St. and Avenue D, because the city refused to allow Del Rio to use the nearby P.S./M.S. 34 school building, at E. 12th St. and Avenue D, where the church rents space to meet for its worship services. People were forced to stand outside for hours while they waited for provisions.

Frustrated by that experience, Del Rio, 61, decided to enter politics.

“I felt that the system had failed us,” he said. “The system failed the community. The politicians failed the community.”

Del Rio is a strong supporter of allowing churches to hold worship services in New York City public schools, which Mendez strongly opposes.

A resident of the Lower East Side since 1996, he has spent his career working in the community.

Del Rio’s top priorities, if elected, would be youth, senior citizens, affordable housing and economic development. He wants to create an intergenerational community that would connect seniors with young people to explore job training and form supportive relationships.

“I’ve been really working all my life

toward empowering the next generation,” he said.

Del Rio believes in the talent and abilities of contemporary youth but feels they are often overlooked.

In addition, he thinks more can be done to take care of seniors. He recently visited a New York City Housing Authority development in the district where one of the buildings did not have a handicapaccessible ramp.

“Elderly people can’t come out because they can’t do the steps,” he said. This issue — along with the threatened closing of senior and community centers in NYCHA complexes — also prompted Del Rio’s bid for City Council.

“I want to have a culture where we can value every person and turn around the distress in poor areas, specifically,” Del Rio said.

He stressed the injustice of NYCHA’s “infill plan” to build luxury apartments on playgrounds, parking lots and parks at 14 leased sites at eight housing projects in Manhattan, most of them in the East Village and Lower East Side. Del Rio questioned why current Councilmember Rosie Mendez, his rival, did not put a stop to the plan sooner.

“She’s chairperson of the housing committee, and she’s been at the table all these years,” he said. “It’s been happening on her watch.”

Richard Del Rio.

Mendez chairs the Council’s Committee on Public Housing, which oversees NYCHA. Del Rio also questioned Mendez’s record on backlogged repairs in NYCHA housing, and rats in public housing spaces, like the old, disused bathhouse on the grounds of the Baruch Houses on the Lower East Side.

He objects that Mendez is running for a third term, adding that he does not believe in a third term for anyone.

Del Rio was also critical of Mendez’s approval of New York University’s 2031 mega-development plan on the university’s South Village superblocks.

“Even with that one, Rosie would stand and protest against it, and when it came time to vote, she voted against the community,” he said. “That kind of thing gets me.”

According to Del Rio, Mendez’s absence rate from City Council meetings was 25 percent one year. He acknowledged that she had family issues, and that the next year her absence rate improved to 18 percent. But he claims she missed meetings when NYCHA was on the agenda.

“We need leadership we can trust, and leadership that can show up,” he said.

Formerly a registered Republican, Del Rio registered to switch parties nearly two years ago, and became a Democrat in November 2012.

“I came to the conclusion that the Republicans were disconnected from the people,” he said.

Calling his work the “compassion industry,” he said he felt he could better align himself with his community as a Democrat. His life of service includes antiviolence work, such as outreach to gang members engaged in gang wars, as well as consoling local families after murders of loved ones, plus aiding the community after 9/11 and his relief work after Hurricane Sandy.

“If I toed the line as a Republican,” he said, “I couldn’t do the work I do.”

What did we learn from the last Storm of the Century that we can apply to the next one?

Every time we turn around, there seems to be another Storm of the Century. So we’re spending over $1 billion over the next four years on storm-protection improvements. We’re building higher flood barriers. We’re investing in utility poles that can withstand 110 mph wind gusts. And we’re installing submersible electrical equipment in flood-prone areas. We’re also doing more to keep you informed during severe weather.

Sister Elizabeth kelliher, 89, L.E.S. activist nun lems. She also recalled the early days of M.F.Y. (Mobilization for Youth, an offshoot of the federal War on Poverty) and of Project Head Start, the preschool program.

Sister Elizabeth said her social activism was rooted in her religious calling.

Franciscans, she said, were devoted to the poor, “and to peace and justice — peace, not at any price, but as long as it’s based on justice. Because what is right is right, and of course, that is also based on the fact that we truly believe that every human being is created in the image and likeness of God.” Born Nov. 9, 1923, to Elizabeth O’Flaherty and Jeremiah Kelliher in New York, she joined the Sisters of the Atonement in July 1936, took her first vows in June 1941 and her final vows in August 1946. Her mother, who had a profound influence on her, died when she was 18.

A brother, the Reverend Jeremiah Kelliher, and a sister, Sister Jerome Kelliher, of the Atonement order, predeceased her. A brother, John J. Kelliher, his wife and their four children survive.

A funeral Mass was held at the convent in Garrison on Aug. 22 and burial was in the Sisters’ cemetery at Graymoor. A memorial Mass was held Aug. 23 at St. Paul’s Church, Vancouver, B.C.

OBitUarY

By AlBerT AMATeAU Sister Elizabeth Kelliher, a member of the Franciscan Sisters of the Atonement and a pioneer community organizer on the Lower East Side for more than 40 years, and for 13 years more recently in Vancouver, British Columbia, died Aug. 16 at the Lurana Health Care Residence of the St. Francis Convent in Garrison, N.Y. She was 89.

Sister Elizabeth ran daycare centers in the Bronx, rent strikes in the East Village, soup kitchens on the Lower East Side and, after her 1998 transfer (her friends called it “banishment”) to Vancouver, continued her radical social justice activities there.

Ailing, she returned to the Franciscan Convent in Garrison, N.Y., last year.

In a 2005 interview with Penny Arcade, a performance artist and cofounder of the Lower East Side Biography Project, Sister Elizabeth recalled her experience as a nun in the 1950s working with teenagers in Massena, N.Y., on the St. Lawrence River, and then in the Bronx organizing daycare centers.

During a life dedicated to social justice and peace, she worked with such luminaries as Dorothy Day, a founder of the Catholic Worker, and peace activist Reverend Daniel Berrigan.

On the Lower East Side, she was involved with GOLES (Good Old Lower East Side) and served on its board of directors. She was elected repeatedly to the local community school board and served as its president in the early 1990s.

The school board elections, open to district residents as well as to noncitizens who were parents of children in district schools, got Sister Elizabeth into trouble at one point when she was accused of irregularities involving fraudulent petition signatures. The accusations did not end in any criminal charges.

Al Giordano, a journalist and editor of Narco News, which tracks the “War on Drugs,” recalled his childhood in the East Village where Sister Elizabeth was an important influence on his family and on the neighborhood.

“My mom met her in the 1950s in the Bronx at a daycare center at St. Jerome’s Church,” Giordano said in an e-mail to The Villager. “When in the mid-1960s she organized a rent strike in her building on E. Fifth St. [some say it was the first rent strike in the Lower East Side], she put a sign in my hands and had me march around in a picket in front of the building. A huge ‘RENT STRIKE’ banner was rolled out the window of her apartment and reached two floors down,” Giordano wrote.

“As a teen she had me come to her daycare center on Broome St., called

Sister Elizabeth Kelliher at a rally for housing.

The Little Star of Broome, to play guitar and perform for the kids,” he continued.

“When I went to Harlem to recruit a coalition of black construction workers to support an anti-nuclear march, Sister Elizabeth coached me on what she had learned about coalition building, and she showed up to give moral support,” Giordano wrote.

Giordano moved to New England for a while and then returned to New York.

“I found that my old friend Sister Elizabeth was by then one of the most powerful people in the neighborhood,” he recalled.

He claimed that Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver was extremely concerned about Sister Elizabeth’s political influence.

“He redistricted his own district to put a sliver of E. Fifth St. — between First and Second Aves. where she lived — into another legislator’s district,” Giordano said of Silver.

“I cannot think of a single Lower East Side resident who was more loved by every sector of neighborhood society,” Giordano added.

He said he last saw Sister Elizabeth this past May when he visited her at the Graymoor convent in Garrison.

In her 2005 interview with Penny Arcade and Steve Zehentner, a cofounder of the Lower East Side Biography Project, Sister Elizabeth recalled her assignment to the Spellman Center on E. Second St. where she met families struggling with housing prob-

Mendez, Squadron, Stringer Rosie Mendez, who has represented City Council District 2, covering the East Village, part of the Lower East Side, Gramercy, Kip’s Bay and Murray Hill, since 2006, faces a primary challenge from Richard Del Rio, a senior pastor at Abounding Grace Church in the East Village. A strong voice for affordable housing and tenants’ rights, Mendez justly deserves re-election under any scenario.

Mendez easily outmatches her opponent in visibility, endorsements and campaign funds, Del Rio, meanwhile, is a leader in the fight against the Department of Education policy preventing religious congregations –– many of them anti-gay –– from renting Sunday space in public schools.

The policy is currently under court challenge.

Since 2011, Del Rio’s Web site says, he has been “one of the champions of the Right to Worship movement,” which aims to boost the presence of such congregations citywide. That position is hostile to the interests of the L.G.B.T. community and out of step with his district, and, in our view, violates the U.S. Constitution’s mandate for separation of church and state.

For the record, Christine Quinn is the only Democratic mayoral candidate who opposes allowing church worship services in public schools.

Beyond this issue, however, Mendez, as she tells The Villager in this week’s issue, “has been there” for District 2 on the important issues over the past eight years. Del Rio, on the other hand, clearly seems to be a one-issue candidate, and his position on that issue is one we disagree with. The Villager endorses Mendez for re-election.

This year’s race for public advocate, a citywide office, features two frontrunners, Daniel Squadron and Letitia James.

In his five years in the state Senate, Squadron has proven himself to be an energetic, bright, communityminded, levelheaded legislator. He’s been a leading advocate for gun control, and has helped strengthen New York State’s gun laws.

He distinguishes himself from Councilmember James, again, by his support for D.O.E.’s policy barring the use of public schools for Sunday religious worship services. Squadron embraces the bedrock principal of separation of church and state.

Over all, Squadron has re-energized the 26th District state Senate seat, and we think he has the perfect skill set to be a highly effective public advocate — and that he would, in turn, re-energize the public advocate’s office, which has recently been very inconspicuous, except as a mayoral launching pad, under Bill de Blasio.

Finally, the Democratic primary for city comptroller pits Borough President Scott Stringer versus Eliot Spitzer.

Stringer has ably served as B.P. for the past eight years, and was a vast improvement over his predecessor, C. Virginia Fields. Saying he was inspired by The Villager’s coverage of a conflict-of-interest scandal at Community Board 2, Stringer made community board reform one of his central issues, and, in truth, the community board appointment process has been vastly improved under him, reaching a new level of professionalism and integrity.

The change was particularly evident at C.B. 2, which has changed from a really dysfunctional board to a model one. On planning issues, where the B.P.’s powers are advisory only, Stringer has given sensitive input on ULURP’s for mega-projects, such as N.Y.U. 2031, which was scaled down significantly after his stage of the public review.

We feel Spitzer’s behavior in office as governor disqualifies him. Yes, he was an effective attorney general, but jetting to Washington on the taxpayers’ dime to consort with hookers, as he was prosecuting prostitution rings as A.G., is the height of hypocrisy. He shouldn’t use the comptroller’s office to reboot his political career.

His attacks on Stringer as a “career politician” are unfounded. We all wish we inherited a real estate fortune, but most of us have to work. Stringer for comptroller.

Letters tO the editOr Johnson backers were very vocal

A good write-in candidate

To The Editor: Re “Corey Johnson for City Council in District 3 primary” (editorial, Aug. 29): I strongly disagree with your endorsement of Corey Johnson.

To say that his supporters and campaign team have not been negative toward Yetta Kurland is preposterous. A perfect example is the recent NYC Community Media-sponsored debate.

Whenever it was Yetta’s time to answer a question, the audience supporters of Corey immediately burst out into boos and hisses, as well as some yelling out “hypocrite” and other unflattering terms. Although Yetta answered each question put forward, the Corey supporters in the audience yelled out, “Answer the question!” even when she did completely answer it.

On the other hand, Corey actually didn’t answer a few questions, which prompted the moderators on the panel to ask him to elaborate. This occurred at least twice.

Throughout the debate, Corey mentioned no fewer than four times that his father was a Pepsi truck driver. Again — unless he is working on a soft drink endorsement deal — what does that have to do with his running for City Council?

I implore voters to vote with facts on your minds, as opposed to character likability.

To The Editor: I am voting for Julie Menin for borough president and Eliot Spitzer for comptroller. As to unopposed candidates who failed my litmus test — look closely at the actions not the rhetoric of Glick and Hoylman, etc. — I am writing in the name Jane Jacobs.

Chin’s been in the trenches

To The Editor: Re “Opponents go postal over Chin’s real estate PAC mailings” (news article, Aug. 15): You gotta love Margaret Chin. Somehow, this woman who wants us to believe that she is a tough, fearless fighter for her constituents turns into a spineless jellyfish unable to stand up to real estate and construction special-interest groups when they send out mailings extolling her (supposed) virtues. She repeatedly claims that she is “helpless” to stop said mailings, and that she had no hand in the creation or dissemination of them. Yet, funnily enough, the photo on the example shown in The Villager was obviously a highly posed portrait, not a candid snapshot. What happened, Margaret, did they steal photos off your Facebook page to put in their dispatches talking about how great you would be for their profit margins?

To The Editor: Re “A better choice for District 1: Jenifer Rajkumar” editorial, Aug. 29): I am troubled by The Villager’s endorsement. While I’ve disagreed with a number of Councilmember Chin’s decisions — vocally at City Council meetings and to her directly — she works hard, listens to her constituents, and then hammers out the best deal possible.

And no, you don’t hammer out deals with a crowd — nothing would get done — witness our Congress. And yes, some of these deals are not ideal. In this current real-world political climate with the wealthy of this town (world) having full command over the resources of our city, with privatization of every government department looming and greed and profit motive going full tilt, you cannot pretend or lead people in the pretense that you will magically make it all better. It is unconscionable to promote such deception to the communities of this city — not now, not in this time. The real work of organizing never happens from political offices — that’s our work.

Chin is as close to an ally for working people as we are likely to get. And we won’t like every decision.

The problem with Rajkumar as a candidate is precisely this: She pretends she can get castles in the sky (no matter who the deceit might hurt) but hasn’t learned how to get her hands dirty digging the foundation. Graduating from an owning-class institution and being a lawyer isn’t the same thing as knowing how to roll up your sleeves and do the unglamorous, give-and-take job of a community worker. It isn’t writing a tidy brief with the “sides” very clear. It’s the messiness of mixing it up with people and staying standing. I do believe Chin has these qualities.

Quinn is best candidate for women, health and kids taLKinG POint By sTePHAnie sCHrioCK New York City is home to more than 8 million people. That means millions of people contributing to an economy of more than a trillion dollars. It means 8 million people in need of healthcare, and more than 1 million students in 1,700 public schools.

For someone who grew up in the Big Sky Country of Montana, fitting that many people into that small a space is seriously daunting.

I understand you may have sacrificed some sky to do it. A city that complex, that diverse, that challenging and exciting and vibrant — it requires a leader with courage and conviction.

It requires a leader with experience and vision.

It requires a leader who knows the city needs to work for everyone living in it — male, female, gay, straight, rich, poor, Mets, Yankees. That leader is Chris Quinn.

EMILY’s List has been in the business of electing women for decades. And we’re in this business for a reason. We have seen it work — time and time again.

Chris’s record proves she’ll be an advocate for progressive change, making New York City a better place for women and families.

Chris has the plans New York needs and the experience to make it happen. And in a few short days, New Yorkers will have the opportunity to make it known at the ballot box — to decide that having a tough, pragmatic woman lead our nation’s largest city is the best way to move us forward.

New York City is home to one of the world’s largest economies, but it doesn’t work for men and women equally. Chris will change that. Her plans for the city include growing economic opportunities for women, helping them find and keep good jobs. She’s passed paid sick leave and a living wage law.

She’s fought for clinic access and healthcare.

As mayor, Chris will ensure there are loans available to small businesses and see that more government contracts are awarded to local- and women-owned businesses.

And she’s focused on making sure that working in New York really works for all families. Chris will create a childcare tax credit, making childcare more affordable for more families. And she also supports plans to provide childcare at Workforce1 Centers and for the unemployed.

The key to a strong economy is investing in its future. Chris has been a leader in the fight

for high-quality public education. She’s already saved more than 4,000 teachers’ jobs, which not only kept jobs but smaller classroom sizes.

She’s supported those early investments by backing expanded, full-day pre-kindergarten and mandatory kindergarten. And she supports starting a “mentor teacher” program to help give new educators the guidance they need, as well as putting the focus of education more on learning and less on standardized testing.

A healthy city is a stronger city. As mayor, Chris will continue to build upon the expansion of primary-care services she’s already overseen at clinics around the city, including schoolbased health centers. She worked to ban smoking in public parks and on public beaches and supports commonsense initiatives to better the health and medical care of New Yorkers.

Protecting women’s access to all of the healthcare they need has always been a priority for Chris. Her record speaks for itself.

She’s safeguarded access to emergency contraception and to reproductive health clinics.

That’s a trend she will continue as mayor. And she’s prioritizing a plan to reduce the rates of teen pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections — and she wants to use health education to prevent intimate partner violence.

New York City is home to nearly half of the population of the state of New York, meaning the mayor can have an outsized influence on state policy, and with her agenda for women’s equality, I know that influence would be a positive one.

I can’t wait to see New York elect the most qualified candidate they’ve seen in years. And in the process, make history.

De Blasio does lunch with seniors Bill de Blasio met with senior voters during lunchtime at the Caring Community, at 20 Washington Square North, on Aug. 29. The public advocate — who was accompanied by his wife, Chirlaine McCray, and their two children — addressed the center’s members, then made the rounds, speaking individually with members. His wife also addressed the seniors. De Blasio was warmly received by the seniors, but there was also strong support for his rival Christine Quinn in the room.

Birthday and mayoral wishes On Aug. 21, Larry Quinn, Christine Quinn’s father, joined by her father-in-law, Anthony Catullo, stopped by the Greenwich House Senior Center. It was Larry’s birthday, and the seniors helped him celebrate. Of course, they were also there to campaign for Christine in her bid for mayor. Assemblymember Deborah Glick, who is supporting Quinn’s campaign, also stopped by.

k9 Diesel tracks down Chelsea turnstile jumper A fare-beater should have paid his way for the train, because the Diesel got him — K9 Diesel, that is.

On the evening of Wed., Aug. 28, K9 Diesel, handled by Transit K9 Police Officer Edwin Ramirez, right, led police to the suspect, who was hiding under a metal concrete mixing bin inside a room under construction in the Dream Hotel, at 355 W. 16th St. The man had just jumped a turnstile inside the A/C/E subway station at W. 16th St. and Eighth Ave. and resisted arrest for theft of service, causing minor injuries to a 22-year-old female Transit police officer.

The fare-beater fled on foot, leaving behind his baseball cap and shirt.

Upon arriving at the scene, Officer Ramirez directed K9 Diesel to smell the items and “track,” whereupon the 7-year-old German shepherd led police across Eighth Ave. and west on 16th St. until he reached a door at 355 W. 16th St., a side entrance to the hotel.

Once inside, K9 Diesel “indicated” toward a second door, leading to a large room under construction. Assisted by Officers Arthur McDonnell and Abdulbasset Montaser, police secured and canvassed the

room and found the suspect, a 32-year-old Jersey City resident, hiding under the bin, covered in cement.

The man was arrested and charged with theft of service, resisting arrest, criminal trespass and obstructing governmental administration.

It was all in day’s work for K9 Diesel and Officer Ramirez.

Ridgeback is a real rock star at home, on street or in office Pet set

By HeATHer DUBin A lion hunter is not your typical office dog. But Tiga, a five-month-old Rhodesian Ridgeback, is the exception.

His owner, Tom Contegiacomo, architect and founder of Contegiacomo and Associates, brings Tiga to work at The Villager’s shared office space, at 515 Canal St., in Hudson Square, a few times a week. Their unorthodox commute — Contegiacomo rides a skateboard while Tiga runs harnessed alongside — causes double takes in rush-hour traffic.

With Tiga in tow, Contegiacomo stopped by last week for an in-office interview. Over his wife’s objection, Tiga was named for Tiger Woods, and to the delight of their children (ages 5, 8 and 11), Tigger from Winnie-the-Pooh. The catchy, short blend, “Tiga,” was met with resistance, but eventually it stuck.

Contegiacomo, who occasionally practices his putting in the office, admits he is “a little bit of a golf fan.” He qualified his position on Woods: While he thinks he is a not a particularly good person, he does think he is an amazing golfer, and a worthy namesake.

Contegiacomo initially adamantly opposed having a dog in their Financial District apartment. But after Gianna, his oldest daughter, who rides horses in Riverdale, said she wanted one, the seed was planted. Contegiacomo began an extensive five-year research process during which he deliberated breeds and flip-flopped on the idea entirely.

A toy breed was out because his younger children, Laena and Achille, might drop it or play too roughly with it. Additionally, Contegiacomo, who is the primary dog walker, wanted a pet to fit their lifestyle.

“I told my wife, if we’re going to get a dog, I’m not walking a toy dog,” he said.

Contegiacomo spotted a Rhodesian Ridgeback in the neighborhood and befriended its owner to get the scoop.

According to Contegiacomo, the breed is a mix of Great Dane, mastiff, Redbone Coonhound and Hottentot hunting dog, a local South African breed. Ridgebacks were bred to hunt lions in South Africa, and the distinctive ridge of fur down their backs comes from the Hottentot dog.

Contegiacomo was concerned about the breed’s full-grown size of 95 pounds, but found they are great apartment dogs. While Ridgebacks require daily exercise, they are very mellow otherwise and rarely bark.

“If they do bark, it’s for something I should pay attention to,” he noted.

They have a ferocious lineage, yet Contegiacomo claims the breed is extremely timid and gentle.

“You’re supposed to train them with positive reinforcement,” he said. “If you are mean to them when you train them, they get

Tiga taking five at the office.

their feelings hurt.”

Contegiacomo has a stack of dog books by his bed, and admits to reading more of them than he has on raising kids. Fortunately, his newfound knowledge of dogs has informed his childrearing techniques.

“Positive reinforcement for the dog — I’m doing this with my children now,” he said with a laugh.

Tiga likes to be part of the family wherever they go. If left alone at home, he never chews anything up. Contegiacomo explained the trick is to bring Tiga everywhere and give him lots of exercise, so he is exhausted by the end of the day. In addition to skateboard jaunts, Tiga spends time offleash wrestling with other large dogs and runs in Battery Park.

Tiga enjoys dinner at outdoor restaurants with the family and vacations.

“They need to feel like they’re part of the family,” Contegiacomo said. “The kids love him to death.”

They also ride him like a horse. The girls are great with him, but Achille, his son, pulls on his ears and tail too much.

And it’s not just his kids that adore him. When Contegiacomo walks Tiga people roll down car windows and yell, “I love your dog!” Recently, a cop he did not know approached him with a photo of Tiga and one of Contegiacomo’s daughters on his phone. Yes, Tiga has achieved rock star status.

Contegiacomo’s co-workers also love Tiga. The only drawback is having to tell people who sit nearby that the occasional “fragrant” smell wafting from their area is from Tiga, not any of them. But Tiga mostly just sleeps or is quiet.

“I love having him in the office,” Contegiacomo said. “It’s great to have some grounding reality during the workday.”

making New York City more sustainable, more livable and safer for every family,” de Blasio said. “We’re going to make sure that neighborhoods that have waited for change on their streets have it, and we’ll make sure New York City remains an innovator of ways to make biking, walking and public transit safer and more accessible to every single New Yorker.”

StreetsPAC is a political action committee, or PAC, dedicated to electing public officials who are committed to improving the safety, mobility and livability of New York City’s streets. StreetsPAC raises money to support the electoral campaigns of candidates who demonstrate dedication to “complete streets,” including the expansion of traffic-calming infrastructure, growth of the city’s Neighborhood Slow Zones initiative, creation of more pedestrian plazas, expansion of the city’s network of bike lanes, and better and more thorough crash investigations and enforcement of traffic laws. A week before the StreetsPAC endorsement, as we were sounding out voters’ opinions on the candidates, we asked Keegan Stephan of the local pro-cycling group Time’s Up! who he was backing for mayor and he also told us de Blasio. “The candidate who has come out strongest on transportation and most critical of the N.Y.P.D. is Bill de Blasio,” he told us. “Check out his ‘Vision Zero’ plan.” Meanwhile, we asked Vaccaro if StreetsPAC was endorsing in the extremely contentious District 3 Council primary between Corey Johnson and Yetta Kurland, and he said no. This is partly because of the fact that the Village is “nirvana,” Vaccaro said, in that it has an excellent system of bike lanes, plus bike-share, plus bike paths along the rivers. Yet, the pro-cycling PAC did endorse Margaret Chin for re-election in District 1, pumped that she is endorsing a Neighborhood Slow Zone for Battery Park City and is committing to backing

PoliTiCAl AniMUles — Horses AnD KiTTens: What about those fanatical Anybody But Quinn folks? Well, according to Christine Quinn, they are just “the carriage horse people” who have morphed into a group monomaniacally focused on derailing her mayoral aspirations. Quinn told us that, thanks to her, the carriage horses now get two to three weeks each year to kick back on vacation at an Upstate farm. (Hey, that sounds pretty good to us!

That’s more time off than we get!) Plus, the tourist-hauling hoofers get regular veterinary inspections thanks to legislation Quinn says she passed. On the other hand, the Council speaker told us, she’s opposed to banning carriage horses outright, because she doesn’t want to ax 300 jobs. Personally, well, we do feel kind of bad for those beasts of burden, Upstate vacations or not. According to the New York Post, de Blasio has just this week changed his position on the carriage horses, and now says he would ban them within the first week of taking office, if elected. Again, this represents a change of position for de Blasio, who in 2007, when in the City Council, declined to sign legislation that would have banned the carriage horses. … As for the kittens who caused a “pussy riot,” shutting down a subway line last week, Quinn — who apparently loves kitties more than Clydesdales — said she supported holding the trains, but de Blasio was a little less inclined to stop the system just for the cute little critters. However, we hear he may be changing his position on this tomorrow.

CorreCTion: Last week’s article in The Villager on Rosemary’s restaurant and its rooftop garden incorrectly stated that Rosemary’s owner, Carlos Suarez, formerly owned BOBO. In fact, Suarez still owns BOBO, and the Rosemary’s garden was his idea. We apologize for the error.

POLiCe BLOtter Girls gone wild Police arrested three young women who allegedly teamed up to commit two violent thefts in the Village early on Sun., Sept. 1.

The gaggle of girls fi rst struck around 3:45 a.m. outside Henrietta Hudson, at 438 Hudson St., cops said.

The victim, a 24-year-old woman, claimed that the gang of girls — later identified as Crystalin Vega, 24; Samanthal Pena, 21; and Cristal Mojica, 23 — cornered her just outside the lesbian bar’s entrance and snatched away her cell phone. The victim said when she confronted them to try to take her phone back, Vega, Pena and Mojica punched her in the face several times before fleeing on foot.

Minutes later, around 4 a.m., the troublemaking trio allegedly headed up to the Christopher St. PATH Station, and went inside. Once on the train platform, they reportedly started a verbal altercation with a man, 45, and his girlfriend, 39. The couple later told police that Vega, Pena and Mojica started to beat them both up, and ran off with the woman’s cell phone and the man’s $550 watch.

But unfortunately for this unholy trinity, the first victim walked over to the Sixth Precinct around 6 a.m. to report the theft of her phone. Police took her in a patrol car to

canvass the area, and soon the victim had spotted and identified all three of her alleged attackers on a Village sidewalk.

Vega, Pena and Mojica were each charged with two counts of robbery and attempted robbery, plus second-degree gang assault.

Dollars and drugs Police said Kelvin Ellis, 41, allegedly snuck up behind a man while he was withdrawing $120 from a West Village A.T.M. around 4:30 a.m. on Aug. 30, then snatched the bills right as they popped out of the machine, and took off running. The startled victim flagged down a couple of officers, who chased Ellis several blocks until they could stop him at the corner of W. 13th and Washington Sts. As Ellis was reportedly resisting arrest, flailing his arms, according to police, he dropped a small ziplock bag of alleged marijuana, along with a small mint box. The suspect reportedly hastily threw the mint box over a nearby gated fence. But police recovered the box, which they said contained cocaine.

In all, Ellis was charged with petty larceny and resisting arrest, as well as unlawful possession of marijuana, criminal possession of a controlled substance and tampering with physical evidence.

Caliente card crook Police arrested Vadim Davivov, 40, early on Aug. 31 after he allegedly tried paying for a meal with a stolen credit card.

Around 3:30 a.m., Davivov enjoyed some food and drink inside Caliente Cab Co., at 61 Seventh Ave. South, cops said. But when he tried paying for the fare, a Caliente employee told him his credit card had been declined.

The employee apparently also realized the name on the card was actually a woman’s, and police were called to the scene.

Suspecting the card was stolen, and then verifying that it didn’t belong to Davivov, police arrested him at the restaurant. He was charged with grand larceny and criminal possession of stolen property.

Assaults N.Y.U. guard Police arrested Johnathon Weber, 38, after he allegedly attacked a New York University security guard early on Aug. 27.

The guard, 60, told officers that he spotted Weber “camping out” on university property on Washington Place between Greene and Mercer Sts. around 1 a.m., and asked him to leave the area. Weber allegedly responded by putting his hand inside a bag, pretending he had a gun, and

shouting, “Motherf-----, you want some of this?”

The guard said that Weber then started hitting him with a plastic shopping crate.

Weber was charged with assault.

‘That’s my weed!’

Police couldn’t bust this guy for the coke they claimed he was selling, but he happily admitted to carrying pot instead.

Officers said they saw Joshua Scuvry, 18, offering alleged cocaine to passersby near the corner of Minetta Lane and MacDougal Sts. around 3:45 a.m. on Aug. 31. When they tried to apprehend him, Scuvry reportedly fled on foot, briefly leading the cops on a chase until they took him down several blocks away.

But they didn’t find any cocaine in Scuvry’s possession, and a source at the Sixth Precinct later said that the officers believed that he had ditched the powder at some point during the chase. Instead, when police found a small bag of alleged marijuana in a bush near the scene of the arrest, Scuvry reportedly said, “That’s my weed. I smoke weed!”

Scuvry was charged with unlawful possession of marijuana and tampering with physical evidence.

The lamppost, bearing Power’s memorials to 9/11 responders, including mosaics reading “FDNY” and “RIP,” was removed without notice by the Department of Transportation last month for utility work in the area. On Saturday, Power happily reported the lamppost was returned several days later, with his mosaic designs virtually intact.

villager arts & entertainment Meaty, satisfying and deceptively simple Storytelling offers instant intimacy and an alternate to standup THE MOTH PRESENTS: YOU ARE HERE: STORIES OF RIGHTS AND LEFTS

BY OPHIRA EISENBERG

Photo by Dan Dion

Although the comedy scene in New York has never been better, I still get jealous when I hear an older comic reminisce about standup in the 80s.

They get this far away, blissful look in their eyes as they describe the packed houses, the electricity and anticipation in the air. It was a time when everything was new — no joke premise was overdone, and no impression considered hack. It’s like they’re remembering a time before disappointment.

Clearly I’ll never be able to go back to those days. But I was lucky enough to explore and perform on some quirky shows that would later become staples of the storytelling scene. When I moved here in 2001, it was popular for comedians to put up a onehour, one-person show about your life — but people were also experimenting with shorter narrative pieces in backs and basements of downtown restaurants and bars, part of what we now consider the alternative scene.

I even produced a mini-festival called “Leave Me Alone” with my friend, Erin Keating (now Director of Development for AMC), where a couple dozen performers and writers (including Jonathan Ames) teased the audience with a 10-minute excerpt from their current or upcoming solo show. This was a couple of years before I witnessed my first Moth Slam. It was at the Nuyorican Poets Café in the Lower East Side, and I lined up for an hour just to get in (now considered the standard). The bar was jampacked beyond fire code and noisy with that intoxicating feeling that something exciting was about to happen — and the greatest thing about that was we didn’t even know whom we’d be seeing. This was a Slam — a glorified open mic, where the host picked 10 names out of a hat and one by one, people would take the stage and tell a five-minute true story. Some were writers, some performers, some just…people. And we hung on their every word. Then judges scored the stories and one winner emerged: The Moth Slampion. All I wanted to do was go to the next one, eventually working up the nerve to throw my own name in the hat.

Now The Moth didn’t invent the art of storytelling, but I do believe they defined the 5-10 minute crisp and well-structured narrative that has propelled the scene forward

It’s reigning stories: Jenny Rubin’s biweekly show at the 2A bar has a living room vibe — and an inquisitive host.

here in New York. Their shows provided a breeding ground to a community of storytellers who produce some of the finest shows you can find around today.

And let’s talk about today. Storytelling in New York is certainly experiencing a heyday, perhaps even comparable to standup in the ‘80s — just without the fistfuls of cash and the mountains of cocaine. But maybe that’s coming. Fingers crossed. People even refer to themselves as “storytellers” because it actually means something now.

Why are we suddenly so addicted to this autobiographical form that requires both an attention span and vulnerability? Is it because we’re alienated from each other behind our computers? Is it because social media has made us even more narcissistic? Is it because truth is an antiquated commodity?

My personal theory is, it’s just good entertainment. It’s meaty, it’s satisfying and it’s deceptively simple. But most importantly, it’s people talking about what matters to them.

But don’t take my word for it — check out a show. They are affordable, very welcoming and attract such an eclectic demographic, you’ll never feel like you stand out. No one is making more than pocket change at these shows, something I hope changes (as everyone should be paid for their art), but I also

wonder if that’s what keeps the scene so pure — the people on stage are doing it because they truly love it.

Fortunately, you can count on finding a great storytelling show with a top-notch lineup virtually every night of the week.

Here’s what’s coming up:

THE JENNY RUBIN SHOW

If you like that feeling of hanging out in the living room of a charming woman who has interesting friends and a cash bar — and who doesn’t? — stop by the bar 2A for "The Jenny Rubin Show." A born and bred New Yorker, Jenny is one of those people who you only have to meet once to look forward to seeing her again. From years in biz, she knows all of the best storytellers, writers and comedians who populate the lineup of this down-to-earth comedic storytelling show. Each performance is followed by a brief interview conducted by Jenny herself, where she draws out another funny anecdote, dives deeper into a moment she connected with or inquires about your mental state — consider it the DVD extras to a compelling story.

Thurs., Sept. 5, 8pm (continuing biweekly), at 2A (25 Ave. A, corner of Second St.& Ave. A). No cover, one-drink minimum.

Hosted by Adam Gopnik (writer for The New Yorker and author of many bestselling books), The Moth takes their curated Mainstage to Town Hall on Friday, September 6. The stellar lineup includes Sasha Chanoff (founder of RefugePoint), Simon Doonan (Creative Ambassador for Barneys New York and fashion commentator) and Brady Bunch actress Eve Plumb.

Expect to be moved! With a lineup this good, your ribs will hurt while you wipe tears from your eyes. Even with the big names and glamorous venue, you won’t feel like just another face in among the fans. These nights have a way of creating an instant intimacy, and before you know it you’ll feel strangely connected to everyone in the room. Sound like a cult? No, it’s just a really good show.

Feel free to hold hands and exchange emails with the stranger beside you.

Fri., Sept. 6 (doors open at 6:30pm, stories begin at 7:30pm). At Town Hall (123 W. 43rd St., btw. Sixth Ave. & Broadway).

Tickets ($40 and $25) available through Ticketmaster and on themoth.org. Visit facebook.com/TheMoth (where you’ll find info on other upcoming events).

THE LIAR SHOW

If you’ve ever wondered how much of these incredible personal stories are actually true, then let me introduce you to Andy Christie’s monthly Liar Show. Andy casts four top tellers, who regale the audience with short, personal tales that will make you laugh AND think — because only three of them are true. The fourth teller is making the whole thing up. All four performers return to the stage to defend their stories while the crowd subjects them to a no-holds-barred interrogation that is so fun and spirited, it’s worth the price of admission alone. The audience then casts their ballots and Andy plays a slick video he’s created that reveals The Liar.

It’s a great jump-start to your Saturday night, and the perfect way to impress a date. Plus if you’re one the geniuses who guess correctly, you walk away with a highly coveted “I Can Tell A Lie” T-shirt, so you’ll have something to wear home Sunday morning.

The Sept. 7 show features Tara Clancy (Paris Review, NY Times), Ed Gavagan (The Moth Radio Hour), Jim O'Grady (NY Times, WNYC Reporter) and Andy Christie (The

Hrair Sarkissian’s “Execution Squares” (2008, 23.8 x 33.3 inches) is part of apexart’s “Death of a Cameraman.”

BY STEPHANIE BUHMANN

DEATH OF A Cameraman

Organized by Martin Waldmeier, this exhibition features works by Broomberg & Chanarin, Harun Farocki, Rabih Mroué, Hrair Sarkissian and Rudolf Steiner. It was inspired by the death of a young man in 2011, who was shot when documenting gunfire in the streets of Homs, Syria, with his cell phone. He was one of the many anonymous individuals who have helped draw attention to international political events by using personal cameras and cell phones. Waldmeier explores this powerful moment when the making of an image becomes a matter of life and death.

Sept. 13-Oct. 26. At apexart (291 Church St., btw. Walker & White Sts.).

Hours: Tues-Sat. 11am-6pm. Call 212431-5270 or visit apexart.org.

Caetano de Almeida’s “Demeter” (2013, acrylic on canvas, 59 x 59 inches). On view through Oct. 13, at Eleven Rivington.

Rudolf Steiner’s “Pictures of me, shooting myself into a Picture (2)” (1997, Farbdia Fujichrome RDPII, 10 x 8 in.) is part of apexart’s “Death of a Cameraman.”

This two-venue show features recent large-scale watercolors on paper and paintings by the Sao Paulo-based Brazilian artist. The compositions of de Almeida are optically charged, chromatic and frequently characterized by patterns made of circular cutouts and holes. The works’ overall geometric structure hints at the rich history of

Brazilian geometric and Neo-Concrete art.

However, it is de Almeida’s intuitive use of color that provides a unique sense of dynamism all his own.

Through Oct. 13, at Eleven Rivington (11 Rivington St., btw. Chrystie St. & Bowery and 195 Chrystie St., btw.

Rivington & Stanton Sts). Hours: Wed.Sun., 12-6pm. Call 212-982-1930 or visit elevenrivington.com.

Just Do Art!

BY SCOTT STIFFLER

"Yankee Wives"

Those Bronx-based boys of summer have had their share of drama this season — on and off the field. But year in and year out, some of best action happens behind the scenes, as the players on a “team-within-a-team” experience the rivalries and partnerships that come with being one of the “Yankee Wives.”

This Group Theatre Too production has novelist, screenwriter and playwright David Rimmer (a Pulitzer finalist for 1980’s “Album”) directing a revised version of his sexy and irreverent 1982 play. Inspired to pen a fictional account of Yankee wives after watching the real Bronx Bombers on TV in the 1970s, Rimmer recalls how he “realized they were an alternate family. They spend more time with each other than with anybody else because no one else is there for them. It’s a cloistered society — no

one else knows what it’s like.” Audiences seem to disagree with that last assessment: Over the years, Rimmer’s been told by more than one real-life baseball wife that the play’s fly-on-thewall observations are right on target.

Through Sept. 15. Thurs.-Sat. at 8pm, Sun. at 2pm (except Sept. 12 at 6:30pm). At The Hudson Guild Theater (441 W. 26th St., btw.

9th & 10th Aves.). For tickets ($18, $15 for students/seniors), call 212-868-4444 or visit yankeewives.com. Also visit grouptheatretoo.org.

ers, Zach Grenier (from TV’s “The Good Wife”) and four-time Obie Winner George Bartenieff. “Extreme” is based in part on the theories of Dr. Jennifer Francis (a Rutgers University-based Artic ice scientist).

Set on an inherited wilderness estate, the family drama pits a famed scientist and his younger colleague/lover against his twin sister and her husband (both publicists employed by climate change deniers). A wise-beyond-her-years child, an environmentalist uncle and a frog named Sniffley (doing canary in a coalmine duties?) round out the ensemble. Got any questions?

The 2013 version of writer, director and native New Yorker Lillian Meredith’s Communal Spaces marks the outdoor festival’s third annual installment — officially propelling it into the realm of tradition. Meredith, whose body of work uses site-specific productions to “explore the boundaries of performance and the role of the audience in live theater,” has commissioned five 30-minute plays. Each takes place in a different Lower East Side community garden, and can be viewed individually or pub-crawl style. “Some of the gardens,” explains Meredith, “are more haphazard, while others are more manicured.

They are like jungles, barbecue hangouts or magical hidden places. The plays reflect the unique feeling of their garden, and turn the garden itself into a character.” In keeping with the festival’s spirit of exploration, maps will be handed out — pinpointing nearby sources of food, drinks or coffee, and encouraging audiences to explore the neighborhood’s diversity.

Set in Siempre Verde garden (Stanton & Attorney Sts., at 11am), Josh Gulotta’s “Tim and Tuna in Town” eavesdrops on two strangers, who have a chance encounter in the heart of a city gone dark. At 12:30pm, in Miracle Garden (E. Third St., btw. Aves. A & B), Angela Santillo’s “Extinguish Yourself” is a comedy of manners (or lack thereof), in which a garden party goes horribly wrong. At 3pm, in the All People’s Garden (E. Third St., btw. Aves. C & D), Will Arbery’s “Yeild!” finds two day-drunk guys talking about their moms – with a girl in close proximity. At 4pm, in Parque de Tranquilidad (E. Fourth St., btw. Aves. C & D), Patrick Shaw’s “CO. OP” finds Little Prairie Co-op Apartments newcomer George navigating interpersonal and garden boundaries. Completing the festival, at 6pm in Green Oasis (E. Eighth St., btw. Aves. C & D), Alexandra Bassett’s “Limoncello” spins old-timey tales, washed down with the help of shared drinks in cool glass bottles.

Free. Fri.-Sun., Sept. 13-15, 20-22 and 27-29. Each play is 30 minutes. For more info, visit lillianmeredith.com.

Continued from page 2 1987 poem, which examines the life of elephants in their natural habitat and captivity.

Different in form, but similar in spirit to an African prairie song, “Sacred Elephant” celebrates the earth’s largest living land mammal — in its natural habitat and in captivity.

In doing so, it “challenges mankind to regain its lost moral compass, asking what it says about us that we destroy a creature which, by our own measurements, is greater than we are.” Crutchley portrays “The Other” — a presence caught between elephantine and human existence, who observes “both creatures as an inter-species sensibility, timeless and ambiguous, treading the thin line

I SWEAR, TRUE STORY

Most of these storytelling shows take place in venues that attract more of a literary crowd than a standup one — but looking to fill that gap is Dustin Chafin’s new weekly storytelling show on Sunday nights at Greenwich Comedy Club. The goal here is to give top comedians the chance to come out from behind their pithy one-liners, and channel comedy storytelling greats like Bill Cosby or Richard Pryor. This is a brand new show with only a month under its belt, and Chafin’s experiment is bringing out some terrific stories that run the gamut from a comic talking about his days of being a NYC Detective, to what it was like to be a Mormon Missionary in South America, to a ridiculous one night stand relived. From a standup’s point of view, it’s a both challenge and breath of fresh air. From the audience’s point of view, it’s an unexpected pleasure at a comedy club — and there is no risk of hearing the same material twice.

Sun., Sept., 8, at 8pm (continuing weekly). At Greenwich Village Comedy Club (99 Macdougal St., off Bleeker St.).

MORTIFIED (and more)

THE ADAM WADE FROM NH SHOW

If you haven’t heard the name Adam Wade, you haven’t been listening. Adam is arguably one of the most beloved storytellers on the scene. Not only an expert at weaving tales around his own successes and failures as the archetypical nerd, he’s prolific and produces a number of storytelling shows each month, all of them worth checking out. His demeanor is sweet and almost apologetic, but make no mistake, this guy knows exactly what he’s doing on stage and has the chops of a seasoned veteran. On the second Monday of each month you can see him in fine form in "The Adam Wade from NH Show." The show opens with one of a rotating pool of favorite storytellers, and then Adam takes the stage with sagas from his adolescent years, further illustrated with videos and rare home movie footage. Each show is different so you can come back every month, as many people do.

Mon., Sept. 8, at 7pm (continuing, on the second Monday of the month). At UNDER St. Marks (94 St. Marks Place, btw. First Ave. & Ave. A). Admission: $5.

Visit adamwade.com.

And while you’re comfortable at UNDER St. Marks, why not stay for the 10pm musical storytelling show, BTK Band? What does BTK stand for? Bring The Kids, of course.

Actually that’s exactly what you should

Archetypical nerd Adam Wade welcomes a guest storyteller, then regales you with tales from his adolescence in the Granite State.

NOT do — and I mean that in the best way.

Hosted by frequent Moth host and storyteller extraordinaire Peter Aguero, The BTK Band is self-described as “the hardest-drinking improvised storytelling rock band around.”

Storytellers are flanked by a five-piece band

and two burlesque dances. As they tell their tale, music and lyrics are improvised around them, morphing their story into a song. The result is pure entertainment magic. As the PBR flows it gets a little raunchy, a little sexy, yet still remains somewhat highbrow.

And this is just the beginning of what’s out there. I hope to highlight more in the coming months. If you felt like this list was a little Manhattan-centric, fear not and get yourself to Littlefield (622 Degraw St., btw.

Third & Fourth Aves., in the Gowanus).

That’s where, on Thurs., Sept. 26 at 8pm, you can see the return of “Mortified” — the storytelling show based on embarrassing school work, diaries, homework and artifacts from your young adult life. Tickets are $10 in advance, $15 at the door. To order, visit getmortified.com. Also at Littlefield, on Tues., Oct 8, Ben Lillie and Erin Barker’s “Story Collider” show proves that everyone has a story how science made a difference, affected them or changed them on a personal and emotional level. Tickets to this 21+ show are $10. Visit storycollider. org for details. Take a tour of the beautiful Brooklyn Brewery in Williamsburg (#1 Brewers Row, 79 N. 11th St.) and stick around to guffaw with comedian Tom Shillue at his “Funny Story” show. Visit tomshillue.com for details.

Ophira Eisenberg is a standup, storyteller and host of NPR and WNYC’s trivia comedy show, “Ask Me Another.” Live tapings resume at The Bell House on Sept., 9 (amatickets.org). She is also the author of “Screw Everyone: Sleeping My Way to Monogamy” (Seal Press) — and you can see her tell from it as part of the Brooklyn Book Festival on Sun., Sept. 22, 8pm at Union Hall (visit brooklynbookfestival.org for details).

Spurred by C.B. 3 snub, Latinos launch a new group CLAYTON

By Clayton Patterson Up until a few years ago, in the part of the Lower East Side where I live, between Houston and Delancey Sts., the only time one saw a politician was at election time.

Gentrification may have changed the face of the area, but we still get almost no political representation. I am guessing it must be election time again since the politicians seem to be popping up everywhere in the neighborhood. But in the meantime, at least, one thing has changed on the political landscape.

Jose Orlando Rodriguez and Robert Payne felt that discrimination played a role in Community Board 3’s decision to deny them a liquor license for the upscale Latin restaurant they were planning to open at 106 Rivington St. Of course, the LES Dwellers made a solid point when they protested the license, saying 27 full liquor licenses within 500 feet of the planned eatery was beyond saturation.

Orlando’s side argued that he and his partners grew up in the community and there were 27 licenses for non-Hispanic operators within 500 feet of their dream business. LES Dwellers argued these licenses have created a nightmare for the neighbors, which they call Hell Square. And, in my opinion, both sides have been discriminated against because of the complete sellout by our local politicians.

How did we become an entertainment zone?

How could we end up with 27 liquor licenses in just this limited area? How could this even be legal? Why is it that just about all of the new businesses are owned and run by people from outside our community, and so few are Hispanic? In fact, one more longtime, Latino-owned small business, JAE bodega on Stanton St., closed just last week.

Rodriquez, determined to do something about the Hispanic community’s lack of any political power, joined with Enrique Cruz and Johnny Marines to form a new civic and political organization. They call it the Association of Latino Business Owners & Residents.

To quote their literature: “The Association of Latino Business Owners and Residents — ALBOR — will maintain and promote residential and business opportunities for our members. Our belief is that with a vibrant, cohesive community organization and power in numbers, we can ensure better services.”

In terms of what, specifically, the group will offer, their literature explains: “Business Owners: Legal Assistance, Immigration Assistance, Real Estate and Loan Assistance, Government Relations, Help Establish New Start-Ups, Small Business Assistance. And for Residents: Landlord-Tenant Defense, Albor Member Discounts, Education and Community Events, Neighborhood and Business Security, Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance.”

This may seem like a tall order to fill, but these men have a proven record of accomplishing their goals. Rodriquez is one of the few L.E.S. bodega owners who has made the successful transition from bodega owner to owner of a number of successful gourmet

Lower East Side Hispanic business owners and residents recently gathered in the Marta Valle High School yard for the kickoff event of the new Association of Latino Business Owners & Residents. There was music, burgers, hot dogs and ices, and games for kids.

delis. Marines, a Latin music manager, is the leading force that guided Romeo Santos, the lead singer for the local group Aventura, to stardom as a Latin Billboard celebrity.

Santos is also given credit for popularizing the Dominican music genre bachata, and is known as the “King of Modern Bachata.”

Cruz, from a young age, has been involved in community projects.

As an association, their first community event was an overwhelming success. They

took over the Marta Valle High School yard and filled the place with adventures for the local children, music for adults and free food for everyone. I got to the schoolyard as the event was winding down, and there was still a large gathering of mostly Hispanic locals. This type of event reminded me of the days when the Jewish Festival was a major success. The significant fact that made me realize this event needed to be taken seriously was, without mentioning names, the

presence of a number of local politicians and candidates for office.

The Grand St. section of the community has, for decades, done well in preserving, protecting and having solid political representation in their area. My hope is that this new Hispanic group will be successful in helping our part of the community. It is about time we had some form of political representation. The business improvement district is not the answer.

Sophie still inspires us To The Editor: Re “Sophie sports camp scholarships are a moving tribute” (Aug. 22) What fond memories this evokes.
