Advertising giant Christopher Wall was known affectionately as “The Great Wall.”

Christopher Wall died more than a year ago, and this week the contents of his showplace house on Cranberry Street in Brooklyn Heights were on sale in a vacant storefront on Montague Street.

It’s been more than a year since Christopher Wall died (in May 2017), and the furniture, tea cups, paintings and mementos from his celebrated home at 11 Cranberry St. have been on sale all week in a vacant storefront at 150 Montague St. Chris Wall was a 35-year veteran of the advertising industry. He worked at Ogilvy & Mather for decades, most recently as vice chairman of Ogilvy North America, where he inspired ferocious devotion from his friends and co-workers.

“It’s unbearable that he is no longer with us,” his longtime creative partner and Ogilvy executive creative director Susan Westre wrote in a note after he died at the age of 61, Adweek reported.

At 6 feet 10 1/2 inches tall, Wall was dubbed “The Great Wall” by Steve Hayden, the retired vice chairman of Ogilvy. Wall used to say, “Life is short. I am not,” Hayden wrote in Ad Age. IBM’s resurgence in the 1990s and 2000s has been attributed to Ogilvy under Wall’s creative direction. He worked on ads for Coca-Cola, Pepsi, American Express, Volvo and Ford, and received hundreds of awards including Cannes Lions, Clios and The One Show.

But his biggest prize was his Brooklyn Heights home, he told Hayden.

“I won a Cranberry. Not everybody has a Cranberry, and it’s really the best award you can win,” Wall said.

Hall lovingly restored 11 Cranberry into a showplace worthy of Architectural Digest “and the highest rent in Brooklyn after he moved to Chicago,” Hayden noted.

A Tree Falls in Brooklyn (Heights)

These photos show a giant bough of a honey locust tree moments after it fell near the Orange Street entrance to the Brooklyn Heights Promenade on Saturday evening. The bough narrowly missed a family strolling along the sidewalk.

A family strolling along Columbia Heights in Brooklyn Heights narrowly escaped injury or worse at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday after a giant tree bough broke with a loud crack and came crashing down to the sidewalk.

A mom, dad and 7-year-old girl jumped out of the way when the father shouted, according to Heights resident Beverly Closs, who was walking with

her husband Bill about a half block away from the incident.

“I heard a crackle, then a yell and then saw the big branch fall,” Closs told the Brooklyn Heights Press.

“They just ran out of the way when the dad yelled,” Closs added. “He stayed and called 311.”

No one was injured, she added. Closs shared with this paper several pictures of the tree bough laying on the sidewalk on the west side of Columbia Heights.

The area around the downed tree bough was taped off.

The family did not want to be identified or pictured, but a photo shows them — including an adorable young girl wearing a black dress covered in tulle — staring in consternation at the tree while the father calls 311 on his cell phone.

In the aftermath, the sidewalk where the tree bough fell, located near the Orange Street entrance to the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, was blocked off with yellow caution tape.

The tree limb likely fell due to high wind, a Parks employee said.

“Parks inspected this otherwise healthy tree today and will be pruning it and clearing the fallen limb first thing tomorrow morning,” Parks Department spokeswoman Maeri Ferguson told the Heights Press late Monday. “We do not have any previous service requests for the tree, which is a 21” honey locust in a fenced off horticultural area at the Fruit Street Sitting Area.”

Storied Bossert Hotel Gets a New Awning No Opening Date Yet, but that Doesn’t Deter Throngs of Passersby from Snapping Photos

By Francesca Norsen Tate Brooklyn Heights Press

of Eagle archive s

AT RIGHT: The Brooklyn Eagle editions of 1909 carried several stories tracking construction progress of the Hotel Bossert.

The Bossert Hotel may not have a new opening date yet, but in a possible harbinger of that announcement, it does have a new awning to grace its entrance.

The awning was installed during a gentle rainfall on Sunday afternoon, Aug. 19, with property manager Stephen Allen coming in on his day off to ensure that all went smoothly, as several men operated a special hoist truck from Bensonhurst-based Sign Group, Inc. Allen cheerfully told a group of onlookers, “We’re getting a new awning today.”

He nodded when someone remarked that it looks exactly like the old awning. However, deflecting questions as to when the Bossert would reopen, he said there is no date set.

Lumber magnate Louis Bossert built his namesake hotel in 1909. The building, located at 98 Montague St. on the southeast corner of Montague and Hicks streets, was built at the former site of Pierrepont House, according to the Friday, Nov. 5, 1909 edition of the Brooklyn Eagle. A photo and caption in March of that year had also shown the steelwork used in construction. The Bossert Hotel’s Renaissance Revival style exterior was designed by Palmer & Hornbostel.

Over the years, the Bossert and its Marine Roof were the stuff of legends. Both Louis Bossert’s granddaughters, Natalie and Isabelle, were feted at the Marine Roof for birthdays and society debuts, according to notices published in the Brooklyn Eagle Society pages.

Several Brooklyn Dodgers players lived at the Bossert, and the hotel became party central after vic-

tories. The Eagle of Oct. 4, 1947 carried a frontpage story on hitter Harry “Cookie” Lavagetto’s stunning double that made the Dodgers’ fourth game against the Yankees in that year’s World Series come alive in the fifth inning. Lavagetto carried the Dodgers to win that game. When the Dodgers carried their first (and only) World Series in 1955, fans gathered in the Bossert lobby to sing “For He’s A Jolly Good Fellow” to team manager Walter Alston. Sadly, the original Brooklyn Eagle, having folded earlier that year was not around to cover the victory.

The Marine Roof reportedly was closed in 1947. The Bossert was sold to the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society in 1983. The Watchtower (Jehovah’s Witnesses) — a worldwide religious organization known for maintaining meticulous properties — renovated the Bossert, which won the New York Landmarks Conservancy’s Lucy G. Moses Award in 1991, according to JW.org.

When the Watchtower moved its world headquarters to Warwick, N.Y., in 2012, the organization sold the Bossert to developer David Bistricer of Clipper Equity and Joseph Chetrit of the Chetrit Group. Renovations have been ongoing for years, and members of the neighborhood were guessing when the hotel might finally re-open.

Cornell Merrill Scholar Pays Tribute to High School Chemistry Teacher

BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

W

hen Ilana Kotliar received a prestigious honor at Cornell University, she decided to share the accolade with the high school chemistry teacher who had inspired her.

Kotliar, who hails from Sheepshead Bay, was named a Merrill Presidential Scholar at Cornell University. She recently graduated from the university’s College of Arts and Sciences in the top one percent of the Class of 2018. She was one of 32 graduating seniors to earn the title of Merrill Presidential Scholar.

Cornell administrators invited the Merrill scholars to include a favorite teacher from their years in high school to share their big moment.

Kotliar asked Susan Katzoff, her chemistry teacher at Leon M. Goldstein High School for the Sciences, to attend the awards luncheon. The high school is located on the campus of Kingsborough Community College in Manhattan Beach.

Each year as part of the Merrill Presidential Scholarship program, high school teachers recommended by the student-scholars are invited to visit Cornell University for an all expenses paid, two-day trip to take part in a series of events that culminate in the awards luncheon.

This year, 28 high school teachers came from all over the U.S. and countries like Canada, Singapore, India and the Netherlands.

Kotliar said she chose Katzoff to share her big moment because she had a major impact on her life and outlook.

The most important thing Katzoff taught her was always to put her best effort into chemistry, never to give up, she said. “She would always break down chemistry into ‘Chem Is Try.’ The idea was to throw your hat in the ring and go for it. That idea of trying and putting in the work to learn has really stuck with me,” Kotliar said in a statement.

Kotliar and Katzoff, along with Thomas Ruttledge of Cornell’s Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, whom Kotliar also named as a big influence on her, were guests at the luncheon at Willard Straight Hall on campus.

Cornell University Provost Michael Kotlikoff told the high school teachers

“You can take pride in having influenced some of Cornell’s top

graduating seniors and in knowing that they continue to appreciate all you did for them,” Kotlikoff told teachers, according to a statement on

Cornell’s website. “On behalf of the university, I want to thank all the secondary and university teachers here today, for your dedication to bringing out the very best in our students. Congratulations on being extraordinary teachers.”

The Merrill Presidential Scholars program was created by the late Philip Merrill, a 1955 Cornell graduate. The program continues to be supported by the Merrill Family Foundation.

Merrill scholars are selected by the deans of their respective colleges at Cornell and are chosen on the basis of their intellectual drive, leadership abilities and potential to contribute to society Kotliar was one of nine students from the College of Arts and Sciences to receive the honor.

High school teachers have been honored as part of the Merrill program since 1989.

McKinley Student Earns Gold

BY ARIAMA LONG EDITORIAL@BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM

elilah Kitsakos, a dedicated martial artist and seventh grader at William McKinley Intermediate School, took home the gold at her first four-day long Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) National Karate Tournament in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on June 27.

Kitsakos, her older brother Charles, and her father, Alex Kitsakos, were at the AAU National competition in Florida, a long plane ride from their home on the Fort Hamilton Army Base. The convention center was packed with several hundred experienced martial artists.

“At first I was a little intimidated.

They were all doing high level stuff and it makes you humble,” said Kitsakos about her competition. “Most of the other girls knew each other and had done it before so they were comfortable. That annoyed me.”

Although seemingly shy in her white gi pants and jacket, Kitsakos exudes confidence in martial arts.

It’s this attitude that won her a gold medal in the offensive and defensive form Kata competition, making her

Sensei Rebecca Carrano (left) and her student martial artist Delilah Kitsakos (right). the Female 13-year-old Novice Kata National Champion. She also won a bronze medal for Kumite, the art of sparring and kicking.

At the Hoteikan Dojo, at 71st Street and Fort Hamilton Parkway, she is currently a purple belt participating in the Black Belt Club, a group of kids at the dojo specially trained to become black belts. The dojo, being a few blocks from her school, is basically a second home.

“I remember we were on a cruise with the family and she had a sparring competition at the dojo coming up. So we practiced with the pads on the boat,” said her father, Alex. “The

trophy she won was bigger than her.”

Sensei Rebecca Carrano, Kitsakos’s teacher, has been teaching martial arts with her husband for 25 years including helping toddlers learn through their “Little Dragons” program where Kitsakos started.

Carrano said, “Definitely, she [Delilah] has the skill and discipline to be a sensei. No ifs about that.”

Since she was four years old, Kitsakos has been practicing her craft, and hopes to one day become a sensei and continue the legacy of the Hoteikan dojo. She believes emphatically in learning how to protect yourself so that you can in turn protect others.

CEC 21 Prez Started by Asking Questions

BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

T

he schools in District 21 in Southwest Brooklyn have student populations that include large numbers of immigrants from Asia, Eastern Europe and other farflung places around the globe. So perhaps it’s fitting that the new president of the district’s Community Education Council (CEC) is an immigrant whose love for her adopted country and curiosity about its school system propelled her career forward.

Anna Lembersky, who was recently elected by her fellow CEC members to serve as their president for the 20182019 school year, is originally from Ukraine. “I was born in Kiev,” she told this newspaper in a phone interview.

She emigrated to the U.S. in 1993.

District 21 covers Coney Island and Gravesend, and includes parts of Bensonhurst and Midwood.

There are many different languages spoken in the district, Lembersky said. “We have many students who are English language learners. We have a little bit of everything,” she said.

Lembersky, who has that go from sixth to 12th The PTA president’s response surbeen a CEC member grade. prised her. “The president said, ‘Why for four years, was `“We are very don’t you become more involved?

CECILIA VICUNA: DISAPPEARED QUIPO

For millennia, ancient peoples of the Andes created quipus — complex record-keeping devices, made of knotted cords, which served as an essential medium for reading and writing, registering and remembering.

THE HISTORY OF SCOTCH WHISKY

With glass in hand you’ll begin that journey and explore the origins of spirit, its eventual arrival into Scotland and how the process was refined and perfected to the malts and blends we enjoy today. You›ll also stare through the looking glass of time to the people who made whisky so popular; the fight against government and taxmen; halcyon days and the dark days; its global reach with roots still firmly planted in the hills and glens of rural Scotland.

David McNicoll will explain how the stuff is actually made, where it is made and how geography as well as history has had a part to play in whisky’s development. How is Scotch different to Bourbon or Irish, and how have their stories differed and related to our saga? There are quirky stories, interesting characters and the mystery of the lost distilleries to illuminate you.

David will unravel the secret of the Water of Life. Oh, and you get to sample some too.

SAY IT LOUD: CINEMA IN THE AGE OF BLACK POWER, 1966—1981

A cinematic companion to the Brooklyn Museum’s exhibit Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power, the series explores revolutionary and relevant records of a struggle that continues to this day. As black consciousness spread

across the globe in the mid-1960s, it gave rise to a radical cinema that both reflected and worked to further the cause of AfricanAmerican liberation. Say It Loud opens with a shorts program headlined by the US premiere of a new scan of Edouard de Laurot’s lost classic Black Liberation( aka Silent Revolution) (1967—Aug 17) and screens with short films Off the Pig! (aka Black Panther) (Third World Newsreel, 1968) and Madeline Anderson’s A Tribute to Malcolm X (1967).

The earliest film in the series, Dutchman (Anthony Harvey, 1966—Aug 20), screens as part of a program dedicated to revolutionary playwright and poet Amiri Baraka alongside Medea (Ben Caldwell, 1973), inspired by Baraka’s poem “Part of the Doctrine,” and The New-Ark (Amiri Baraka, 1968), a recently rediscovered documentary

by Baraka about grassroots consciousness-raising efforts connected to Spirit House, his black nationalist theater and community center.

New Outpatient Diagnostic Center and Women's Health Imaging Suite Debuts

BY JOHN ALEXANDER JALEXANDER@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

A

fter the devastation of Superstorm Sandy, NYC Health + Hospitals/Coney Island is back and better than ever.

On Wednesday, Aug. 22, it marked the opening of a new state-of-the-art outpatient diagnostic center and women’s health imaging suite.

“This is a great thing for the community,” Thomas Melillo, director of marketing, communications and public affairs, told this paper. “We’re going to save a lot of lives and help heal a lot of people.”

Peter Montanino, associate executive director, radiology/diagnostics, was thrilled that the hospital was finally dedicating the facilities.

“We’re finally opening up,” Montanino said. “We’ve been official since January, 2018 and we’re opening it up as a remediation for all the Sandy destruction that we had. We are back in place with two mammography units, two radiology units, screening rooms for osteoporosis as well as dental and jaw suites.”

Montanino called the new mammography unit the crown jewel of the hospital. “It will be 3-D adaptable thanks to our city councilmembers who gave us the money to be able to proceed and provide the best kind of services for patients in the southern part of Brooklyn,” he said.

NYC Health + Hospitals/Coney Island CEO William Brown hosted the event. He explained how it has taken a long time for the hospital to recover from Hurricane Sandy and how this new suite represents the resiliency of the hospital and the community.

“It’s really very symbolic,” Brown

Among those attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony were City Councilmember Chaim Deutsch, Democratic District Leader Ari Kagan, representing New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer, and Doreen Garson, representing state Sen. Marty Golden.

“Coney Island Hospital is a crucial part of southern Brooklyn,” Deutsch

said. “Having this new imaging center is a great addition to the hospital.

We need to make sure we continue putting the resources into the only hospital we have here in southern Brooklyn.”

What Do Houses Sell for in the Carroll Gardens Historic District?

By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn

People hold onto their wonderful rowhouses in the Carroll Gardens Historic District. Can you blame them?

You must be wondering how much the homes go for when they do get sold. We checked public records and found transaction prices of more than $3 million over the past couple years.

The district includes President Street and Carroll Street blocks between Smith and Hoyt streets plus portions of Smith Street and Hoyt Street between President Street and First Place or First Street.

These post-Civil War brownstones' location within a landmarked district protects them from demolition. Owners cannot alter their exteriors without the city Landmarks Preservation Commission's permission.

These homes are very picturesque, thanks in part to unusually deep front yards with lovely gardens. See related story.

Who puts the “garden” in Carroll Gardens? Every homeowner in the historic district.

Throughout this hot and humid summer, residents of the Carroll Gardens Historic District's stunning brownstone blocks have kept their fleurs flourishing.

Shrubs and tall trees on their properties add luxuriant foliage to the scenery. Grassy lawns grow here and there.

Thanks to the gardeners' dedication, the landmarked district's streetscapes are Instagram-worthy.

Take a look at the photo we took outside 326A President St. facing in the direction of Smith Street. There are flowers in profusion.

In a photo taken outside 299A Carroll St. facing away from Hoyt Street, brownstones and gardens seem to stretch to infinity.

Fab flowers can be found all over the place. For instance, the gardens at 318 President St. and at 338 President St. are full of late-summer blossoms.

Ivy tumbles over the front wall at 298A Carroll St. See brooklyneagle.com for additional pix we snapped of the glorious gardens.

A Shout-Out to Richard Butts

* The owner of 325 Smith St. on the corner of President Street is converting the rowhouse into a mixed-use building.

It will have commercial space in the cellar and on the first

Those of us who love strolling through brownstone neighborhoods and staring at flowers owe a debt of gratitude to Richard Butts.

He's a mid-19th-century surveyor who mapped out lots in Carroll Gardens with front yards that are 33.5 feet deep. He's mentioned in the city Landmarks Preservation Commission's 1973 designation report about the Carroll Gardens Historic District.

Properties on the President Street and Carroll Street blocks between Smith and Hoyt streets, which constitute the historic district, were also mapped out using Butts' idea about having deep front yards.

On these blocks, the front yards are 25 to 39 feet deep — providing lots of room for folks with green thumbs to do their thing.

There are 160-plus buildings in the historic district.

The landmarked rowhouses are mostly brownstones. Some are late Italianate in style. Others are French Neo-Grec.

He authored “Old Brooklyn Heights: New York 's First Suburb,” an all-important book that helped Brooklyn Heights residents get their neighborhood designated as New York City's very first historic district.

A Shout-Out to Charles Carroll

Through these fenced-in flowers, you can catch a glimpse of 259 Carroll St., which changed hands in March.

Come See the Fine Flora in the Carroll Gardens Historic District — Continued from page 24INB — One of the architectural history experts who presented the case for the Carroll Gardens Historic District to the Landmarks Preservation Commission was Clay Lancaster.

But back to Carroll Gardens.

The Carroll Gardens Historic District's designation report says house construction in the district started at the end of the 1860s and wrapped up in the early 1880s.

Development was spurred by the creation of Carroll Park, which is on the opposite side of Smith Street from the historic-district blocks.

The builder-developers who constructed the houses in the historic district were William Bedell and other members of his family and John Layton.

The park's name honors Maryland's signer of the Declaration of Independence, Charles Carroll.

We mention this since Green-Wood Cemetery and other venerable institutions commemorate the 1776 Battle of Brooklyn every August.

The park's builders chose Carroll's name as a reminder of the Maryland 400, who took a heroic stand at the Old Stone House in Gowanus during the Battle of Brooklyn.

They were appallingly outnumbered but fought to the death. Their self-sacrifice enabled Colonial troops to retreat safely.

A historical note gleaned from the 1973 designation report about the Carroll Gardens Historic District: In the mid-1870s, the office of developer-builder William Bedell was next door at 327 Smith St. He constructed many of the houses in the historic district.

Bedell built the entire row of houses on the odd-numbered side of Smith Street from President to Carroll streets between 1872 and 1873.

Brooklyn Real Estate Financing Faces Frenzy Of Activity Amid Maturing Loans, Dodd-Frank Revision

By Matthew Dzbanek, Director – Capital Services

David Baruch, Senior Analyst – Investment Research

The U.S. economy has gained considerable momentum in recent months, paving the way for the Federal Reserve to continue tightening monetary policy 2018. While rising borrowing costs could suppress loan origination, an avalanche of maturing mortgages, revisions made to the Dodd-Frank Act, and a growing pool of eager, smaller lenders should keep borrowing activity buoyant in Brooklyn.

A tight labor market and firming inflation has the Fed confident that the economy can withstand the impact of higher rates. Gross domestic product grew by 4.1% in the second quarter, significantly above the first quarter’s 2.2% and the strongest growth since the third quarter of 2014. After raising rates for a second time this year in June, the Fed has penciled two more rate hikes in 2018, with the next likely to emerge at its September meeting. This should put upward pressure on rates and eventually lead to even higher borrowing costs on consumer and business loans.

The 10-year Treasury yield, which influences everything from mortgage rates to corporate loans, has hovered around 3% in recent months as political turmoil overseas joined concerns that tariffs between the U.S. and its major trading partners will slow global growth. These trade tariffs should put additional pressure on Treasuries as inflation erodes the value of the fixed payments made on the bonds.

At between 4.0%-4.5%, interest rates on five-year multifamily loans are roughly 50-75 basis points higher than where they were a year ago. Despite the uptick, however, interest rates remain historically low, which should keep the landscape for lending favorable.

Demand has been particularly strong for multifamily properties in Brooklyn in 2018 as its growing appeal as a “worklive-play” destination attracts both private and institutional investors. Brooklyn enjoyed banner activity in the first half, recording $1.54 billion in sales, the highest of any sub-market, according to Ariel Property Advisors’ “Multifamily Quarter In Review.” For our exclusive report, click on http://arielpa.com/report/report-MFQIR-Q2-2018 While Brooklyn’s lofty dollar volume was mostly attributable to the $904.61 million Starrett City Portfolio, the largest sale year-to-date in New York City, all three volume metrics increased on an annual basis and the 39 transactions comprised of 79 buildings were the highest of any sub-market.

In 2013 – the beginning of the most recent real estate cycle – Brooklyn saw 1,059 transactions consisting of 1,440

properties totalling $4.3 billion in gross consideration, according to Ariel Property Advisors’ Investment Research Division. These properties were likely financed by acquisition loans, with the 5-year maturity the most common at the time. It has therefore been a busy year for Brooklyn because as loans mature, investors typically choose to refinance or sell their properties, and the buyers of these assets often seek financing to fund their purchases.

Brooklyn, the most populous borough, has dominated commercial lending activity in recent months. In the month of May it snared 42% of all of New York City’s transactions. Moreover, seven of the top eight neighborhoods for financing were situated in the borough, with the zip codes encompassing South Bushwick/East New York; East Williamsburg/North Bushwick/ North Bedford-Stuyvesant; and Prospect Lefferts Gardens/Flatbush/East Flatbush ranking in the top three, according to the Commercial Observer, citing data from lending database Actovia. In addition, these three areas comprised 18% of all New York City’s mortgages.

undoubtedly become more expensive to finance real estate transactions, loosened regulations should open the lending spigot wider. With the guidance of

an experienced mortgage broker, an investor can obtain financing via smaller institutions that are more than eager to extend credit at competitive rates.

Changing Landscape Of Lenders

Real estate financing has picked up this year as the investment sales market gained momentum. During 1H18, Brooklyn’s entire market saw 526 transactions consisting of 685 properties, totaling approximately $4.28 billion in gross consideration, according to Ariel Property Advisors’ “Brooklyn 2018 Mid-Year Sales Report.” For our exclusive report, click on http://arielpa.com/ report/report-APA-Brooklyn-mid2018Sales-Report In 2015, banks pulled back after federal banking regulators cautioned them about overexposure to the multifamily asset class and its impact on their financial stability. Lenders also erred on the side of caution due to the Dodd-Frank Act, which was put in place as a safeguard in the aftermath of last decade’s recession. Lenders tended to be conservative about the amount of assets they were servicing and holding on their balance sheet due to increased government scrutiny.

However, following a similar bill that passed in March, the U.S. House of Representatives recently voted to dismantle part of the Dodd-Frank Act. The bill relaxes regulations for all but the largest U.S. banks, raising the level at which banks face the tight oversight spelled out in Dodd-Frank to $250 billion in assets, up from the current $50 billion. Due to this increase, banks are expected to become much more active in the lending arena.

As more and more people call Brooklyn home, institutional and private investors will likely continue to seek mortgage financing in New York City’s biggest borough. While it has

Chief Clerk in B’klyn Criminal Term Gave Up a Career in Art for 45 Years in the Courts

By Rob Abruzzese INBrooklyn

In a courthouse, it is the judges who make all of the decisions, but everyone who works in the courts knows that the people who actually run the daily tasks are the clerks. In Brooklyn’s Supreme Court, Criminal Term, the person running the show is Chief Clerk Daniel Alessandrino.

Alessandrino has served the court system for 45 years now and has been the chief clerk for the past eight, but his is an illustrious career that might not have ever happened if he had followed in his father’s footsteps and become a commercial artist instead.

“My father was a commercial artist, and I was an illustrator who thought that he was going to follow is his footsteps,” Alessandrino recalled. “But that was, and still is, a very tough industry to get into.

Once I didn’t get accepted into Cooper Union, that sort of faded away.”

Alessandrino, who was born in Manhattan and raised in Brooklyn, instead went on to apply for a job as a court officer and started his extended career in Brooklyn’s Criminal Court at 120 Schermerhorn St. as a 20-year-old starting in 1973.

That was just his first of now nine official titles the St. Francis and St. John’s University graduate has held while working in the courts. Of course, that’s only nine titles and unofficially has served in many capacities.

Some of Alessandrino’s other titles included clerk in the Kings County Family Court, motion clerk in the New York County Surrogate’s Court, a clerk in Brooklyn’s night court, supervising investigator for the application verification unit, chief court officer of the family court citywide, assistant director for court security services inside NYC, director of personnel for the NYC Criminal Court and liaison for the city to handle the writs on the

“Every time I talk about 45 years, my immediate reaction is, ‘Oh my God, that’s such a long time,’ but it went by like a flash,” Alessandrino said. “I think it’s because I like what I did. It was a lot of variety, I did everything from security to investigations, to fiscal work, to human resource work. It really broadens to scope of what you are able to do and it can be a lot of fun. I’m still having fun. That’s why I’m not retired yet.”

He got the job as chief clerk in 2010 after he had been working as a liaison between the courts and the Mayor’s Office for Criminal Justice. He explained that job often put him in contact with then administrative judge of the criminal term, Hon. Barry Kamins. When James Imperatrice retired, Kamins believed that Alessandrino was an easy choice for the position.

“When you’re hiring a chief clerk, you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable about the court system and who has as much experience as possible,” Kamins said. “You want someone trustworthy and reliable, and Dan fills all of those categories.

“He’s one of the most competent people I’ve met in the court system,” Kamins continued. “I remembered him from my days as a defense attorney when he was a court officer as someone who has always been well liked and respected by judges and court staff.”

As chief clerk, Alessandrino is the top non-judicial court employee who is in charge of running the court on a day-today basis. If there is a blizzard, hurricane or other emergencies, he has to determine if the court opens or not, and how it will operate. If there are changes in policy, he is the person to help implement them.

When there are layoffs or transfers, he has to be the one responsible to break the news. All of this, in one of the busiest criminal courthouses in the nation.

“We don’t get the high-profile people,

but we do get violent and serious crimes that are high-profile cases,” Alessandrino said. “It’s an interesting place to work with a lot going on. It’s very serious work here and I’m in a support role for the judges.”

Despite 45 years in the court system, Alessandrino said that he doesn’t expect to retire soon. If he does retire, he won’t go back to art work. Despite the fact that he

Department for his work, he has given it up. Instead, he’ll stick with his current hobbies of fishing and archery.

“If I had plans to do something, to travel or to move somewhere, I might retire, but my wife and I don’t want to be away from our two grandchildren for very long and, honestly, I’m still having fun and learning something new every day.”

Sculpture Memorializing Holocaust Victims Unveiled at Kingsborough Community College Bykov Family Commissioned the Artwork To Continue Teaching Lessons Of Holocaust

By Francesca Norsen Tate INBRooklyn

Assemblymember Steven Cymbrowitz, a Brooklyn Democrat, and Kingsborough Community College’s Interim President Peter Cohen joined forces last week to unveil a statue commemorating victims of the Holocaust. The statue, titled Infinity, was donated to the college by the Bykov family.

The Aug. 13 ceremony featured a memorial candle lighting with Russian-American veterans. Among those offering remarks were Cymbrowitz, Cohen, Dr. Stanley Bykov and a number of elected officials, including Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams. Rabbi Andy Bachman, also participated.

“The Bykov family commissioned

the work and made the generous donation to Kingsborough, which is making it a permanent part of the Holocaust resource center that the school is in the process of building,” wrote Cymbrowitz in a social media post, an excerpt of which his office made available to INBrooklyn.

Speakers emphasized the importance of Holocaust education, to make sure the atrocities of this period are never forgotten.

Bykov, an ophthalmologist, and his father Mitya spoke of their family’s commitment to keeping the memory of the Holocaust alive and explained the significance behind the sculpture.

Bachman recited the Mourner’s Kaddish and described his recent trip to Belarus and Lithuania, where he bore witness to the crimes committed against Jews during World War II. Also attending were Assemblymember Helene Weinstein, City Councilmember Mark Treyger and Ari Kagan from New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer’s office.

Union Temple Begins New Chapter With Innovative Approach to Worship The 170-year-old Union Temple of Brooklyn, which stands at a crossroads with the retirement of its beloved rabbi — Dr. Linda Henry Goodman, who served Union Temple for more than a quarter of a century — is entering a year of innovations. Union Temple will hold an open house to introduce the community to its new chapter.

Rabbi Mark Sameth, the congregation’s newly appointed interim rabbi, observed, “The Jewish world has changed. We’re honoring our past, and also experimenting with new modalities.”

Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim was founded in 1848 by German and Alsatian immigrants in what was then the Village of Williamsburg. Its congregants abided by traditional Jewish Orthodoxy.

Another synagogue, Temple Israel, was established in 1869 by a congregation following the Reform Movement. Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise had recently brought this community to America.

A transformation evolved over the years, as Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim also adopted the reforms of Rabbi Wise. These two temples merged in 1921.

Sameth previously led an experimental congregation for 18 years — Pleasantville Community Synagogue in Westchester County. The Forward named him one of “America’s Most Inspiring Rabbis.”

Sameth was attracted to Union Temple’s diversity, and calls it a place “where Jews, their families and friends unite for shalom.”

“Reform congregations are attracting folks who grew up Orthodox and Conservative, Roman Catholic and Mainline Protestant. Where do people of such diverse backgrounds meet? For me, the place of true meeting begins in Avodah Shebalev, ‘Service of the Heart,’” said Sameth. “We need to gather, to experience the felt sense of our shared humanity, share our collective wisdom, and buoy one another as we engage with a profoundly

challenging, deeply broken world. Union Temple supports and makes a space for that.”

Sameth’s heartfelt, musical services build on a long tradition of music at Union Temple, but take it in new, unexpected directions. Also new this year are a monthly Meditation Shabbat, a Friday night scholar-in-residence-style lecture series, and something called “Pajama Shabbat” for the under-six crowd.

Union Temple’s Sept. 7 open house begins at 5 p.m. with refreshments, and provides an opportunity to meet Sameth and members of the community. Attendees can learn about Union Temple’s many offerings. Kids are welcome; they will participate in a supervised Shabbat-related arts and crafts project.

There will also be a lively service for children of all ages and their families at the temple’s First Friday Family Shabbat/Pajama Shabbat and potluck. RSVP: info@ uniontemple.org or 718-638-7600 ext. 1. Walk-ins are also welcome!

Union Temple of Brooklyn is at 17 Eastern Parkway at Grand Army Plaza, steps from the IRT subway station on the 2 and 3 lines. High Holiday tickets are free, but must be reserved. Open House Friday Sept. 7 at 5 p.m.

Brooklyn Heights Promenade: What Lies Beneath

By Mary Frost

Brooklyn Heights Press

What’s going on at the north end of the Brooklyn Heights Promenade?

Contractors with the Department of Transportation’s Division of Bridges are getting ready to conduct soil borings there, in preparation for the upcoming $1.9 billion rehabilitation of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE).

A large boring machine currently sits in the north circle, ensconced on steel plates.

With deteriorating, 70-year-old structures, the BQE reconstruction is a massive project for DOT. In July, contractors conducted a ground-penetrating radar survey of the Promenade to find historic structures buried beneath that had been partly demolished during construction of the BQE’s triple cantilever. Now, contractors need borings to get more information.

A boring machine digs out a cylindrical bore of material below the surface.

Various tests are conducted on the bore, such as a strength test, an exam for chloride from roadway deicing salts, measurement of volume of permeable voids and more.

The Parks Department has said that no harm will come to the popular Promenade Gardens during the testing.

The BQE’s disintegrating 1.5-mile stretch between Atlantic Avenue and Sands Street includes a series of 21 concrete and steel bridges over local roads, along with the triple cantilever, which stacks two roadways above Furman Street beneath the Brooklyn Heights

The triple cantilever was built between 1944 and 1948; the Promenade officially opened to the public by 1951.

The reconstruction will bring the deteriorating roadway up to current safety standards, address the structural conditions, fix flooding, drainage and lighting

issues and improve traffic flow.

The environmental process is expected to conclude in 2019, according to DOT.

Pieces of a Celebrated Life, for Sale on Montague St.

Continued from page 2 “He had the most incredible house ever,” Vicki Negron, his Corcoran broker, told the Brooklyn Heights Press.

Wall bought the house about 20 years ago and had “amazing parties and amazing people come through,” she said.

The ambassador from Argentina resided in the house during a recent visit, bringing his own china for entertaining.

Wall was an artist, an avid guitar player and drummer, and wrote and created music, Negron said. His drum set and numerous instruments from other countries are for sale.

“It’s a tremendous loss for me personally because he mentored me and guided me, but he was also a wonderful client and a wonderful neighbor,” she said. “His death is a tremendous loss to advertising and to his community both in Chicago and in Brooklyn Heights.”

Wall’s surviving spouse has other homes and “unfortunately, could not use the furnishings,” hence the sale, Negron said. The furnishings were meant for an enormous brownstone, she added, “and she lives in a modest apartment on the Upper West Side.”

The items were on sale through Wednesday at 150 Montague St., Brooklyn Heights.

AT RIGHT: Furniture, books, photographs and musical instruments were among the hundreds of items on sale from Christopher Wall’s home.

L-Train Shutdown Calls for Fleet of Pedal-Assist Bikes Borough President Eric Adams Leads Ceremonial Ride Across B’klyn Bridge Brooklyn Heights Press

Citi Bike’s new pedal-assist bikes may just be the solution to the 15-month L-train shutdown that is slated for next April.

To celebrate the new bikes, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, Citi Bike representatives and City Hall staffers rode the new bikes over the Brooklyn Bridge. Mayor Bill de Blasio had previously announced that pedal-assist bikes, which provide an electric boost that make it easier to climb hills and travel longer distances, would play an important role in providing alternative transportation during the East River tunnel shutdown.

“As an avid cyclist, it’s great to roll into City Hall’s week in Brooklyn on two wheels, with an assist from our new pedal-assist Citi Bikes,” Adams said. “This safe and eco-friendly mode of transportation has been particularly useful for immigrant workers and seniors across the five boroughs, and its inclusion in our bike share program helps make us a more inclusive city.”

“What better way for my team to roll out their hard work in Kings County this week than by having them start with a bicycle ride over the beautiful, iconic

Brooklyn Bridge,” de Blasio said.

In total, Citi Bike expects to add a total of 1,000 new pedal-assist bicycles to its fleet. The company plans to designate four conveniently located pedal-assist docking stations for its exclusive use — two in Williamsburg and two in Lower Manhattan.

Earlier this year, the de Blasio administration also announced that it was working on a new framework to clarify the legality of pedal-assist bicycles, which in the past were often the target of police crackdowns. The new rule, which went into effect in July, legalizes pedalassist bikes that have motors that turn on only when the cyclist is pedaling and that turn off once the bike’s speed hits 20 mph.

“As our city prepares for the upcoming L-train service disruptions, these new pedal-assist bicycles are an innovative and badly needed additional option for commuters,” said U.S. Rep. Nydia Velazquez (D-BrooklynManhattan).

In addition to the pedal-assist bikes, Citi Bike, to mitigate the effects of the L-train closure, will institute denser coverage in Midtown Manhattan and Williamsburg as well as more staffed valet stations.

Assemblymember Jo Anne Simon speaks about the ceremonial bike ride across the Brooklyn Bridge.
