Advocates often argue that the biggest way to help victims of domestic violence is by providing them with the financial support they need to get out from their horrible situations. In Brooklyn, Councilmember Mark Treyger is trying to do his part by introducing a bill last Wednesday that would provide victims of domestic violence with an attorney during divorce proceedings.

City Hall chambers were overflowing last Wednesday afternoon as City Council members voted overwhelmingly to pass a package of five bills to regulate Uber and other ridehailing companies, making New York the first large U.S. city to cap the growth of new for-hire vehicles and guarantee the drivers a minimum wage.

The legislation is an effort to freeze the disruption caused by the explosive growth of for-hire vehicles on the road: 100,000, up from 63,000 in 2015. The sudden abundance of cars has undermined the livelihoods of drivers, six of whom have committed suicide in recent months, as well as increased traffic congestion and vehicle emissions.

The costs and benefits of the new laws will Three cheers for the Marquis de Lafayette, a disproportionately Revolutionary War hero whose commemorative affect Brooklyn and statue stands in Prospect Park.

On the one hand, the growth in for-hire vehicles (FHVs) has been a boon to residents of farflung neighborhoods, often remote from mass transit, and to people of color who have often been discriminated against by yellow cabs.

But the two boroughs are also home to the majority of drivers, with 35 percent residing in Queens and 24 percent in Brooklyn, according to the Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC). The rise of Uber and Lyft have devastated the yellowcab business as well, sending the value of a taxi medallion from $1 million to less than $200,000.

“I want the people in my district who rely on for hire vehicles to have good service. And I want the drivers who I

represent and citywide to be able to earn a living,” said Brad Lander, a City Council member from Brooklyn (District 39), who sponsored the minimum-wage bill and voted in favor of the others. He said the bills balance the needs of passengers and drivers. “It’s a big topic, with a lot of competing interests,” he explained in a 1,026-word e-mail to his constituents on the day of the vote. Lander cited projections that wait times for cars may increase only 12 to 15 seconds and fares could rise by less than 5 percent.

The legislation, once signed by Mayor de Blasio, will set a wage floor that ensures drivers earn at least $17.22 an hour and will cap the number of FHVs for one year, while the TLC studies the impact of the services as a basis for decid-

ing future regulations. A report commissioned by the TLC in July said that its proposal for raising the wage floor “would increase driver net earnings (after expenses) by 22.5 percent, or an average of $6,345 per year among the 85 percent of drivers who would get increases.” The new legislation will also waive licensing fees for taxis and FHVs that are wheelchair-accessible.

“We are pausing the issuance of new licenses in an industry that has been allowed to proliferate without any appropriate check or regulation,” said Corey Johnson, the City Council Speaker, before the vote. The council’s action paralleled its legislation in July to keep tabs on that other shared-economy dis-

rupter, Airbnb, by requiring online homerental services to provide the names and addresses of hosts to the city on a monthly basis. While Airbnb has brought new income to homeowners, the hotel industry says it hurts business and costs jobs.

As with the Airbnb battle, the vote on car-hailing services followed one of the most spirited public-policy debates in years.

Critics of the ride-share cap proposal said it’s a bad idea to constrain alternatives to New York’s dysfunctional public-transit system. At a rally last week, when there was still hope of stopping the bill, they warned what would happen if a cap was put in place. “Overnight, North Brooklyn will become a transit desert,” said Elaine

Brodsky, chairperson of the North Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce.

The issue is particularly sensitive in North Brooklyn because of the looming, 15-month shutdown of the L train for tunnel repairs. Brodsky said the city needs a “robust network of transit, rideshare, bikeshare, ferries and more” to pick up the slack.

In the run-up to the vote, ride-hailing companies, led by Uber, sought to stimulate opposition to the plan. New Yorkers opening the Uber app saw a message headlined “Arriving now: Higher prices and increased wait times.” Civil rights organizations including the Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network and the Urban League opposed the legislation on the grounds that the ride-hailing companies have provided new options for people who have tradition-

ally been discriminated against.

“These sweeping cuts to transportation will bring New Yorkers back to an era of struggling to get a ride, particularly for communities of color and in the outer boroughs,” said Joseph Okpaku, vice president of public policy at Lyft. “We will never stop working to ensure New Yorkers have access to reliable and affordable transportation in every borough.”

Danielle Filson, a spokesperson for Uber, shared a similar statement. “The city’s 12-month pause on new vehicle licenses will threaten one of the few reliable transportation options while doing nothing to fix the subways or ease congestion,” she said.

“We take the speaker at his word that the pause is not intended to reduce service for New Yorkers.”

accident, Allen was tending to laundry in a washing machine in the closet.

Hirschberger maintained that a dangerous condition existed as a result of improper installation of the door, and elicited testimony from an expert witness mechanical engineer who concluded that the door had been installed backwards.

NYCHA, which owns and operates the property, was represented by Paul Krez, of the law firm Krez & Flores.

Krez called on the NYCHA inspector who had checked the closet door a year before the alleged incident, to testify. The inspector, now a NYCHA

property maintenance supervisor, asserted that the door had been properly mounted. At the time of the inspection, he recalled, the washing machine was in the kitchen.

Krez challenged Allen's allegation that an accident had ever happened, which prompted reactive behavior from Allen, who was escorted out of the courtroom.

The jury deliberated approximately two hours before it returned a verdict for the defendant. The jury determined that Allen had not been involved in an accident, in the trial that resolved last week in Kings County Civil Term.

Charles Small Climbed the Ladder to Become Chief Clerk of Brooklyn Supreme Court

By Rob Abruzzese Brooklyn Record

The Kings County Supreme Court, Civil Term, is one of the largest and busiest courts of its kind anywhere in the U.S. with specialized parts in nearly every field. It takes a lot to run such a courthouse, and the phenomenal task is left up to Charles Small.

Things were going well for Small at the time. He met his wife Angela and the two had a son Chad while he was still attending college and working full time. After working at a few banks, he had settled at Emigrant, and even got three promotions within a year. Things changed, though, when a man named Cecil Watson came into the bank.

Chief Clerk Charles Small (left) with Administrative Judge Brooklyn Eagle photo by Rob Abruzzese Lawrence Knipel.

Small, an immigrant from Barbados, never wanted to move to the U.S. and preferred to stay in his home country to eventually become a politician.

Instead, his brother and a go-whereGod-takes-me attitude brought him to Bedford-Stuyvesant and eventually the Brooklyn Supreme Court, Civil Term, where he is the top ranking non-judicial employee in the court.

“I wanted to become an economist and go into politics,” Small said as he chuckled to himself at how far off his initial expectations were. “My brother was living here and brought us all here to live. It wasn’t something where I knew that I would be living here. He sold us on greater opportunities. I think I would have done well there too, but he had already convinced pretty much everyone else to come here, so I kind of just went with the flow.”

Small said that the fast pace of Brooklyn was the biggest shock to him, but he kept himself busy right away as he found a job working on Wall Street and enrolled in Brooklyn College.

Eventually, still trying to pursue a career as an economist, he transferred to the American Institute of Banking and took classes at night while he worked in Emigrant Savings Bank.

I remember he said to me, ‘Do you plan on working in this bank for the rest of your life?’ and I said, ‘I’ll go where God takes me,’” Small said. “Then he said, ‘I’ll show you how to get out of here,’ and left.”

Watson returned shortly with an envelope filled with applications for city, state and federal jobs in the courts and explained some of the different jobs and, most importantly, the benefits and pensions. He also explained that with a court job, he would have a steady nine-tofive position where he would never be forced to work late. This was important to Small because it made it easier for him to continue to pursue his education.

After he applied for and got a job working at 100 Centre St., which required a pay cut from his previous position, Small transferred to Empire State College where he continued his work toward an economics degree.

It wasn’t until a few years of working in the courts that Small realized that he should give up his dream to be an economist and decided to go to law school.

That was the start of Small’s now 27-year career in the courts, but things didn’t go smoothly from that point on. After graduating law school, Small’s wife was diagnosed with colon cancer. Small directed her to focus on her health while he took over the majority of the family’s responsibilities including helping their 12-year-old son with school.

Angela Small died in March 2010.

His mother died in November 2010.

In December that same year, he was promoted to chief clerk.

“It was an extremely hard time and quite a roller coaster,” Small said.

“It was hard on my son, but he was able to channel his energy into school and told me once that whenever he thought about her, he would open a book. I was always very close with my son, but I look back and realize that God was preparing us for life after her because now we are very close.”

Small and his son often would use education as an escape. Small would

even help his son’s friends and classmates. One friend stayed with them for more than a year and Small proudly proclaimed that his grades went from the low 70s to the upper 90s during that time and that his son’s friend eventually got a scholarship to Georgetown University. As for Chad, he eventually was accepted to seven Ivy League schools and went to Yale University.

Small has worked a total of seven positions within the court system.

The one that most prepared him to take on the role of chief clerk, he says, was his position at Part 72, which reviews ex-parte motions, orders to show cause and orders submitted after decisions on motions are made by the court. After a few years in that part, Small said that people encouraged him to apply for his current position.

Small has constantly been a ladder climber, but he thinks that his days of climbing that ladder are over. The only place for him to move up within the court system is to become a judge.

While he insists that he doesn’t want to become one, he admits that his son is always after him to keep moving up.

“My son constantly asks me if I’m going to become a judge,” Small said.

“He sees it as the next progression.

I’ve climbed the ladder all my life and I’ve taught him to climb the ladder. He wants to see me take the next step, but at this stage, it’s not something that I want to pursue.”

Joining Treyger in his effort was fellow Councilmember Chaim Deutsch, of the 48th District, which includes significant portions of the Riegelmann Boardwalk.

“They mud wrestle all the time over whose district has more of the boardwalk,” Johnson quipped.

“At the end of the day,” said Deutsch, “no matter what ethnic background you’re from, or what culture you represent, when it comes to issues, we’re all the same, and they’re all important to us.”

“The boardwalk is a big part of what brought the fairly new city of New York together,” Treyger said later. “Before it came into being, much of this land was private, and many people weren’t allowed access,

“Of course,” Treyger said, “we in Brooklyn don’t take ‘no’ for an answer. We set out to educate them.”

“He was a bulldog on the subject,” Johnson said. “Someone who would not shut up about the boardwalk!”

“Not only am I proud of the landmark status,” Treyger said, “I’m proud of how we got this done.

or had to pay. Once the boardwalk was opened, however, people from all walks of life, all races and religions, came together here. And their differences really weren’t as important in this place.”

With its status as NYC’s 11th scenic landmark established, the Riegelmann Boardwalk will require additional layers of oversight before significant alterations can take place. Moreover, the city landmark law requires there to be a boardwalk between Ocean Parkway and West 37th Street in perpetuity.

According to Brooklyn Parks Commissioner Marty Maher, the Reigelmann Boardwalk is 2.4 miles long, comprised of 1.3 million boards, which are held in place by 18 million nails and screws. “I had some extra time on my hands,” Maher said with a laugh, “so I counted each one.”

Henceforth, each one of them is now protected by NYC law.

Using the events of 9/11, the 2003 Northeast Blackout, Hurricane Sandy and other severe weather events as examples, the exhibition reveals the critical role that mass transit personnel play in preparing for and responding to

Her immersive murals surround the viewer with nature rendered in monochromatic tones, a color palette that references historic naturalist engravings and warns of a future in which the rainforest exists only in the past. By installing depictions of nature in urban settings, Arocha’s murals draw parallels between the diverse ecosystems of Colombia and the cultural flourishing

of her current Brooklyn neighborhood.

Through the examined histories of and around Empire, connections between roller skating and larger narratives of race, class, and urbanization in America are uncovered.

Beyond the roller disco movement, the exhibit traces the history of roller skating in the United States, highlighting the diversity of rinks around the country and the unique history of skating in New York City, which was home to over 20 rinks at its skating peak When: Thursdays-Sundays through October 14th, 12 – 6 p.m.

New York– based Chilean artist and poet Cecilia Vicuña has devoted a significant part of her artistic practice to studying, interpreting, and reactivating the quipus, which were banned by the Spanish during their colonization of South America.

Catholic Media Groups Partner to Cover World Meeting of Families in Ireland

By Francesca Norsen Tate INBrooklyn

Currents News and Crux, a Catholic news website, are partnering to provide in-depth coverage of the World Meeting of Families in Dublin, Ireland next week.

Held triennially, the celebration hosts hundreds of thousands of people and is the world’s largest Catholic gathering of families.

The meeting, from August 21-26, will feature an open-air Mass with Pope Francis, as well as workshops and presentations.

It comes in the wake of a vote to reform abortion laws and takes place nearly a decade after Ireland’s clerical sex abuse scandal first broke.

Once deemed the most “Catholic country,” Ireland is witnessing its church advocating a new chapter and mission for the family in the context of the 21st century.

During the weeklong event, Currents News and Crux will explore theology, doctrine, liturgy, practices and traditions of Catholicism in the context of the life of modern-day Catholics, giving full voice to disagreements and challenges facing the church and believers.

The Diocese of Brooklyn’s DeSales Media produces Currents News. Currents’ Liz Faublas will anchor coverage from New York,

Currents co-Anchor Liz Faublas is pictured as emcee of the World Communications Day awards, held in DUMBO in May 2018.

while correspondents Michelle Powers and Tim Harfmann will report from Ireland. Members of Crux’s editorial team will offer analysis and expertise. Concurrently, Currents News’ reports will appear on Crux’s website.

Television coverage will take place from Monday, Aug. 20 to Friday, Aug. 24 on NET-TV’s Currents News at 7:30 p.m. EDT.

Extended live coverage will begin with Pope Francis’s arrival in Dublin on Saturday, Aug. 25 at 5:30 a.m. EDT, and then again on Sunday, Aug. 26 at 4:15 a.m.

Currents News airs on NETTV in the New York City area on Spectrum, channel 97; Optimum, channel 30; and Verizon Fios, channel 48. Live streaming is available at netny.tv.

Zion German Evangelical Lutheran Church and Pastor Klaus Dieter Gress welcomed the Vivida Banda Youth Choir from Germany last week as part of the ensemble’s first U.S. tour.

Vivida Banda, whose youths and parents describe themselves as a big intergenerational family, sings in several languages. They opened their full-length, twohour concert on the outdoor steps of the church on Henry Street with a spiritual, “Jesus in the Morning.”

The ensemble then moved into the sanctuary, reprising this opening hymn and offering a wide repertoire of English-language pieces, including “What a Wonderful World” (made famous by Louis Armstrong), “You Raise Me Up” and “The Storm Is Passing Over,” as well as German and Swedish songs. They crunched a demanding tour into about three days, also singing at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.

The youths are also part of the Singschule of the Chöre Peterskirche Weinheim, where they begin their musical training as early as toddlers. They describe the Singschule as an intergenerational family that offers several different types of choir experiences, from toddler and youth choirs to elder choir and the Adult Kantorei in between. They also have bands and a Gospel choir.

The choir’s founder/choral director is Anne Christine Langenbach. Her husband Simon is piano accompanist. Their son Jakob plays trumpet.

The youths’ biggest surprise about New York City: “the food,” Miriam, a choir member, told INBrooklyn.

“I think there are a lot of small things standing out, for example, how different the food is and how everyone is so nice. But I think what really stood out to me was when we went to Times Square yesterday in the evening—because it is way bigger than everything I have ever seen in my life. The [food] portions are bigger and there are so many more items. You know, you don’t just order a burger, you order a burger and then you order four different toppings for that.”

Her choirmate Isabelle quickly found a corpus metaphor for New York City: “There are just so many pieces, so many different stories coming together as whole, and if you walk down the streets you see so many different situations of life coming together, it’s just beautiful.”

Come See Recently Sold Homes in Manhattan Beach

By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn

Go big or go home.

That's the unofficial motto of developers in Manhattan Beach.

Whenever we're hit with a sudden bout of nostalgia for Miami, where we lived many years ago, we head to Manhattan Beach for a stroll.

Many big, beautiful houses on this Brooklyn peninsula remind us of South Florida mansions. Other homes, though not evocative of Miami, are also big, beautiful and interesting to look at.

Even on the steamiest summer day, it's great fun to walk around Manhattan Beach. Atlantic Ocean breezes will keep you from overheating and keeling over.

The other day, we went and tracked down some lovely houses — and a development site — that changed hands recently. We also snapped photos of Manhattan Beach's most eye-catching houses. See related story.

This is a glimpse of 321 Hampton Ave.

Head to Manhattan Beach for a Staycation Day

By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn

Staycations are good for the soul.

Sometimes you really need a quick getaway from your life, but spare cash for an airplane ticket and a hotel room is in short supply.

Any summer staycation worthy of the name calls for at least one day at the beach.

Coney Island is dreamy, of course, an ideal staycation getaway for New York City residents.

We're obsessively devoted to its famous landmarks like the Wonder Wheel and the Parachute Jump. And a walk down its cherished Boardwalk will take you to Brighton Beach, where you can eat borscht at beachfront Russian

cafes.

But today we're going to extol the virtues of Brooklyn's other point of access to the Atlantic Ocean — Manhattan Beach.

That's the name of both an excellent public beach and the surrounding peninsular neighborhood.

A sign posted on Oriental Boulevard, which runs through the middle of the neighborhood, refers to Manhattan Beach as “Brooklyn by the Sea.� We like the sound of that.

Manhattan Beach Park is a 40-acre recreation area that opened in 1955.

The city created it to help alleviate crowded conditions on Coney Island's beach.

The parkland in Manhattan Beach had belonged to the federal government, which had acquired it during World War II for use as the Coast Guard and Maritime Training Station.

The beach is beautiful.

When we went for a visit on a prime beach-going day — a hot, sunny August Sunday — we found a mellow, happy scene.

This Sale Broke the $3 Million Threshold

A developer named Corbin Group Inc. sold a newly built stucco house at 228 Corbin Place in March for $3.3 million, city Finance Department records indicate.

In 2016, Corbin Group Inc., with Salvatore Calcagno as its authorized signatory, had bought the property for $1.6 million from Corbin Corp. with Munzer Elayyan as president, Finance Department records show.

Brodmore LLC with Vadeem Brodsky as member and Corbin Corp. had jointly purchased the property for $1.2 million in 2007. It was vacant residential land at that time, the deed indicates.

In 2016, Brodmore LLC transferred its one-third stake in 228 Corbin Place to Corbin Corp. The public record doesn't show how much money, if any, changed hands in this transaction.

The couple who sold the site to Brodmore LLC and Corbin Corp. had inherited it in 1994, Finance Department records show.

The house is near the Atlantic Ocean shoreline.

By the Sea, by the Sea, by the Beautiful Sea

* According to Finance Department records, on another block that dead-ends in a scenic way at the Atlantic Ocean, a beautiful house at 221 Coleridge St. sold for $2.5 million in April 2017.

Developers go big in Manhattan Beach. For example, this Hampton Avenue house was enlarged in the 1990s.

This handsome house is the recently sold 228 Corbin Place.

E State

Come See Recently Sold Homes in Manhattan Beach — Continued frompage 18INB — City Buildings Department filings suggest the sellers had renovated the house after their $1.26 million purchase of it in February 2016. That price also comes from Finance Department records, of course.

• On the next street over, on a block that also ends at the Atlantic Ocean, a handsome brick house at 267 Dover St. sold for $2.45 million in May 2017, Finance Department records indicate.

This home was constructed in the late 1990s.

The sellers had paid $2.2 million for it in 2015, Finance Department records show. Before that, 267 Dover St. had been sold for $990,000 in 2004.

• On the next street, on yet another block with a scenic seaside dead-end, an LLC purchased a house that has fallen into disrepair and has an enormous yard for $2.2 million, Finance Department records indicate.

The transaction was an estate sale. It closed in May. The address of the house is 228 Exeter St. In June, the purchaser filed a Buildings Department application for a demolition permit.

Hark! It's 137 Hastings St., which sold for slightly more than $3 INBrooklyn photos by Lore Croghan million.

• On a block that's close to Sheepshead Bay — in this instance we mean the body of water, not the neighborhood — a house at 137 Hastings St. sold for $3.06 million in March, Finance Department records indicate.

The five-bedroom, 4,500-square-foot house has a garage, two terraces and a large back yard with a deck, a posting by listing broker Douglas Elliman says.

The seller had bought the property for $1.73 million in 2006, Finance Department records show.

• A house on the corner of Oriental Boulevard, which runs through the center of Manhattan Beach, sold in May for $2,565,990, Finance Department records show. The address is 195 Kensington St. Buildings Department filings suggest the seller had enlarged the house after buying it in 2014. According to Finance Department records, that purchase had been made for $1.2 million.

Head to Manhattan Beach for a Staycation Day — Continued from page 18INB — There were lots of people ensconced on the sand beneath beach umbrellas, and lots more splashing in the refreshing waves. But it wasn't crowded in a claustrophobia-inducing way.

Nostalgia for Miami Beach

You're never, ever going to think any beach at the north end of the Eastern Seaboard resembles Miami Beach.

It's located in a tropical zone, so the sea is a pretty color and palm trees abound. Its Art Deco-style hotels and homes will knock your socks off.

But. Keep this in mind the next time you're hit with a wave of nostalgia for Miami Beach. You can find echoes of it on the streets of Manhattan Beach.

Numerous houses in the neighborhood have a Miami Moderne look. They're brightly painted stucco that's beautiful in hot sunlight, have sleek lines and are situated just a block or two from the ocean.

Their presence makes a stroll through the neighborhood an entertaining part of a staycation day.

One of our favorite Manhattan Beach houses can be found at 293 Amherst St., right on the ocean. It's got a white stucco and glass-brick facade and is designed with lots of curving

walls. It reminds us of the glamorous architecture that was showcased on “Miami Vice,” the iconic 1980s TV series.

Another great Miami Beach-style house is at 295 Corbin Place, which also stands beside the ocean — as does 293 Coleridge St.

Which Way to the Spanish Hacienda?

Also, check out Miami Beach-style 305 Hampton Ave., which is a golden-hued house a block away from the shore of Sheepshead Bay. Just down the street, 321 Hampton Ave. looks like a Spanish hacienda in a very Miami Beach kind of way.

There are also eye-catching houses in other architectural styles. Some are Tudor-style designs. Some are big and elaborate. We love those, too.

Some of the beautiful houses near the shoreline were damaged by Superstorm Sandy and haven't yet been repaired. We can imagine the anguish these homes' owners have been through, and we're saddened by it.

When your day is done, you can walk across a picturesque, blue-painted footbridge that connects Manhattan Beach to the neighborhood of Sheepshead Bay. You'll wind up on Emmons Avenue, where there are numerous charming restaurants and cafes. Some have outside seating.

ST. FRANCIS ANIMAL HOSPITAL:

Theatre for Kids and Families Opens in Park Slope

By John Alexander INBROOKLYN

Play Nice Theatre has begun its season of lighthearted musicals with positive, life-affirming messages about cooperation and kindness. And they’re looking for their July/August cast, musicians, and backstage helpers.

Relocated from Manhattan, this all-volunteer company’s rehearsals and meetings reflect their mission and message by encouraging its mixed-generation cast and crew (ages 6 to 106) to interact socially and share stories of their own lives on and off stage.

In a welcoming atmosphere, the experienced and new Play Nice actors and crew are encouraged to come early and linger after assigned rehearsal slots in order to get to know each other, help each other memorize their lines, do school homework and play games. Some may choose to help with scenery painting or prop-making.

All ticket sales from main stage shows ($10 admission) is donated to local charities, a prime motivation for many participants who find it rewarding to help raise money for those less fortunate through donating their time and talent.

According to theatre founder Rob Lester, the cast and crew are like a second family. “Working on a show with

friendly people is fun and satisfying,” he says.

The Brooklyn Eagle stopped by the new location at 89 Fourth Avenue, five blocks from Barclays Center, where the two-act musical “The Three Little Pigs Buy a Brownstone in Brooklyn” is running on weekends (2 p.m. Saturdays, 3:30 p.m.

Sundays, through July 1).

The Eagle is mentioned prominently in the Brooklyn-centric script in Scene 6 and the newspaper is used as a prop as well. The show’s target audience is ages six and up, with plenty of humor adults will appreciate.

“Two six-year-olds are among the actors, with the oldest member more than ten times their age, and the family idea is reflected literally: the cast includes two brothers who play two of the pigs; a mother and her son have a scene together as an older pig

and hedgehog; two actors are cousins,” we’re informed.

Original lyrics are set to public domain melodies including old folk songs and classic children’s tunes.

The show, which emphasizes “being a good neighbor,” plus patience, perseverance, and pig puns runs through July 1, will be followed by show after show, starting with the summer musical about kids and counselors at an unusual summer camp, titled “Not a Happy Camper.”

The theatre welcomes audition appointments, visits, donations of costumes and supplies, and all inquiries throughout the year. Acting classes, puppet shows, concerts, one-day free workshops, variety shows, and special family events are planned and a fundraising concert on July 20.

For more details, show times, tickets, and contact information, go to www.PlayNicePeople. com.

• Roughly 10% of your pillow’s weight is made up of the bodies of dead mites and their droppings. We’ll just file that away in the things we didn’t need to know category.

Advocates often argue that the biggest way to help victims of domestic violence is by providing them with the financial support they need to get out from their horrible situations — in Brooklyn, Councilmember Mark Treyger did his part by introducing a bill last Wednesday that

The bill would require the Office of the Civil Justice Coordinator to institute programs that would provide free, full legal services that would include all filing fees. This is intended to help victims of domestic violence who could otherwise not afford the cost of a divorce, which can range anywhere from $3,000 to $6,000 at a minimum for contested divorces.

This bill follows a trend in New York state to provide attorneys to the indigent. In recent years, Mayor Bill de Blasio has signed bills into law that provide attorneys for children and adults facing deportation in immigration court and another law is being phased in to provide attorneys to people facing eviction in housing court.

As Treyger pointed out, legal representation is available in family court, but there is no right to counsel in divorce proceedings, which take place in the state Supreme Court.

However, Section 35 of the Judiciary Law does provide certain litigants

Pro Bono Help for Domestic Violence Victims?

Treyger Bill Raises Questions

By Paula Katinas Brooklyn Record

A City Council bill that would mandate free legal representation for domestic violence victims who go to court to get a divorce from an abusive spouse is winning praise from victims’ advocates, but others are raising concerns over what it would cost the city.

On Aug. 8, Councilmember Mark Treyger introduced a bill that would provide free legal assistance to domestic violence victims who want a divorce. Treyger said divorce proceedings take place in New York State Supreme Court and that attorney’s fees can add up to thousands of dollars.

“There are countless victims of domestic violence who face great difficulty shouldering the financial burden throughout what is often a lengthy divorce process. This legislation will empower victims and help them move on with their lives,” Treyger, a Democrat who represents Coney Island, Gravesend and portions of Bensonhurst, said in a statement.

Brooklyn Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar expressed concern that the proposed legislation had not been fully vetted.

“It’s noble, what he’s looking to do. I would support it. But there are already numerous non-profit organizations that receive government funding to provide just such a service,” Kassar told the Brooklyn Record on Aug. 13.

Kassar also said he is concerned about the possible duplication of services and the inherent costs involved. “Maybe the programs that already exist need to be strengthened and given more financial support.

Maybe we should take a look at that.

I’m not sure we need to create a new government program,” he said.

But Kassar quickly added that he thought Treyger’s idea is a good one. “One of the main purposes of government is to protect people and that’s what this is trying to do,” Kassar said.

There is currently a system in place under which financially-strapped victims can obtain divorces at little or no cost.

Section 35 of the Judiciary Law offers litigants who qualify based on income the right to file for divorce in Supreme Court without having to pay.

Meanwhile, Treyger’s bill is winning praise from advocates for domestic violence victims.

Ariel Zwang, CEO of the organization Safe Horizon, said that Treyger deserved credit for “offering pathways to safety for victims of domestic violence who might otherwise be trapped in abusive marriages due to a lack of resources.”

Sonia Ossorio, president of the National Organization for Women – New York, said the group receives numerous phone calls from women seeking help to obtain a divorce.

“Having a resource like this where a woman can get expert advice and a lawyer to ensure the court process makes headway is one of the most beneficial things we could do for battered women,” Ossorio said in a statement.

Treyger’s bill would require the Office of the Civil Justice Coordinator to create programs that would provide free, full legal services for victims of domestic violence who could otherwise not afford the cost of divorce proceedings.

The bill will cover both uncontested and contested divorces, according to Treyger, who said severing marital ties to an abuser can be an important step for victims because it is a way for them to protect their financial assets and their privacy.

Treyger has previously sought other ways to help domestic violence victims.

Earlier this year, the councilmember introduced a bill that would require the Department of Citywide Administrative Services to provide free diapers at domestic violence shelters and childcare centers.

the right to file for divorce in the Supreme Court without having to pay.

While divorce attorneys who spoke with the Brooklyn Record said that the news is an overall positive one for denizens of NYC, that Brooklyn already has a series of programs that provide free attorneys to indigent victims of domestic violence, and that this could help supplement those programs and provide assistance to those in need outside of the borough.

The Brooklyn Bar Association Volunteer Lawyers Project often will provide free divorce attorneys in no-contest divorces where the two sides split amicably. It routinely hosts training programs for attorneys who agree to take on pro bono

cases.

The Matrimonial Pro Bono Project, which was started in 2014 by Hon. Jeffrey Sunshine, supervising judge for Matrimonial Matters in

in order to help pro se litigants in contested matrimonial actions. The project will provide attorneys to litigants at or below the federal poverty line and will also cover filing fees.

“This is a potentially fantastic thing for the domestic violence victims because it will put them on the same ground as the perpetrators of domestic violence,” said Carrie Anne Cavallo, president of the Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association.

“This is a potentially fantastic thing for the domestic violence victims because it will put them on the same ground as the perpetrators of domestic violence,” said Carrie Anne Cavallo, president of the Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association.

“Right now even if someone qualifies for programs like the pro bono project they sometimes have to wait weeks or months to get an attor-ney so this could, depending on the funding, provide immediate relief to victims.”

Cavallo added that she thinks that programs like the Matrimonial Pro Bono Project, and others similar to it in Brooklyn, have provided the evidence that a bill like this one is necessary for those outside of the borough.

“Brooklyn often leads the way on things like this,” Cavallo said. “We implement it and when people outside of the borough see how well it works things tend to trickle down to the other boroughs and upstate.”
