Emily Warren Roebling Musical Heading To Scotland, at the World’s Largest Art Festival

By Liliana Bernal

Brooklyn Heights Press

When the high school drama team Troupe #7892 found out it was the only student group from New York selected to attend the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in Scotland — the world’s largest arts festival — the students knew they had to come up with an original show.

Looking for an authentic idea, the troupe, shaped by teens from several schools in Queens, raised only one premise: It had to be a story of a remarkable New York woman.

After combing through a list of dozens of overshadowed women, the cast was amazed by Emily Warren Roebling’s story; she is the woman who commanded the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge after her husband, the bridge's chief engineer, fell ill.

“Emily Warren stood out the most to us simply because she literally bridges a gap between two different types of New Yorkers, being Manhattan people, the city folks and people from Brooklyn,” said 17-year-old writer and actor Jade Mahbub, a Bengali student who plays Charles Martin, the assistant engineer of the bridge.

“A lot of people in our troupe come from very different backgrounds and we felt that this bridge was not only literal but in a metaphorical sense, something that connected all of us,” he added.

After being accepted to the Fringe in February 2017, the group started researching through books, visiting historical sites, such as the Roebling Museum in Roebling, N.J., and interviewing engineering firms to understand the complexity of building the architectural marvel.

It was the birth of “Building Emily Warren,” a historical tale framed in contemporary music, what they call a "Hamilton-esque" show, referring to the Broadway smash hit that combined history and hip-hop to tell the story of Alexander Hamilton.

The rap-driven musical recounts Emily Warren’s life and skills that helped her become a bridge between city officials, workers and her husband Washington Roebling, who could no longer read or write during the last years of construction.

“The story is a story of strength, is a story of women’s rights, is a story of immigration — really everything that New York City is,” said Lindsay Shields, director of the troupe, a group that is part of the

Troupe #7892, the school drama group that created “Building Emily Warren.”

International Thespian Society, an honor organization for high school and middle school theater students.

Not only do students fill the cast, but the lights, sets, sound and stage management are also made up of teens between the ages of 15 and 19. Composer Felix Jarrar, a graduate student of Brooklyn College, then helped them with the music.

Many of the kids are immigrants or have an immigrant story, live in high poverty and have had to overcome having parents in jail, homelessness and raising younger siblings, according to Shields. Performing in the largest arts festival in the world is, for them, not

only a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but an economic hurdle.

“We’ve been fundraising all year to get the students to be able to go,” Shields said. “Wonderful foundations reached out to us and provided a lot of monetary support. We’ve also solicited friends and family and strangers on the internet to donate money towards this production.”

The show also highlights the Brooklyn Daily Eagle’s role during the 14 years of the construction, reporting on what happened daily with the bridge and keeping the project spotlighted.

For the troupe, “Building Emily Warren” is, besides a portrait of a pioneering female figure, an opportunity to talk about today’s issues such as equality, gender gaps and pay wages.

“The show revolves around so many things that are extremely important in today’s society,” Mahbub said.

“Me and the rest of our crew just wanna make sure that when someone sees the show, they take away all of that.”

Before its premiere at the festival in Scotland, “Building Emily Warren” will perform on Aug. 2, 3 and 4 at WOW! Cafe Theater in New York.

Giant Trucks Prove Giant Headache To Brooklyn Heights Residents

By Mary Frost

Brooklyn Heights Press

Every day tractor-trailers designed for interstate highway travel pull onto the narrow streets of historic Brooklyn Heights, headed for Montague or Henry streets to unload cargo.

Often, the driver will try to make a turn from Hicks Street onto quaint, tree-lined Pierrepont Street, or perhaps onto Pineapple, one of the diminutive lanes named after fruit in the 19th century by Lady Middagh.

On a regular basis, one of the giant rigs gets stuck mid-turn. And there it sits, unable to go forward or backward despite the honking of horns and advice from passersby. It might take an hour or more until the right strategy inches the whale-sized vehicle backward enough to finally extricate itself from the grip of surrounding cars, lampposts and trees.

On Montague Street, another scenario unfolds when the driver discovers there isn’t enough space to park in front of the store. Then the trucker and employees must race to unload the cargo while the truck is blocking traffic on the neighborhood’s main commercial street.

One Heights resident (who didn’t want his name used) found himself caught in this situation at 8 a.m. recently, when an 18-wheeler bypassed a storefront and headed down the next block.

“It tried to back up and couldn’t make it past Hicks,” he said. “The guys ... had to unload it right out on the street.”

The resulting traffic jam was especially infuriating because it took place at rush hour when the man and his wife were trying to get their car and go to work, he said.

While shop owners on Montague Street didn’t want to speak on the record about the oversized vehicles, the Brooklyn Heights Association told the Brooklyn Heights Press that the organization receives complaints every couple of months about large trucks becoming stuck and tying up traffic “for considerable periods,” requiring NYPD intervention to resolve the problem.

The driver seldom receives a ticket, however, even if the rig exceeds the city’s legal size limit.

According to data provided by the NYPD, no summonses for oversized vehicles were issued at all this year in the 84th Precinct, which includes Brooklyn Heights.

There are no specific truck restrictions for the Downtown Brooklyn Historic Area with respect to size

Giant tractor-trailers like the one above clog the narrow streets of historic Brooklyn Heights on a regular basis.

Heights Press file photos of trucks or delivery hours, a DOT spokesperson told the Heights Press.

At the moment, the only curbside access restrictions

are along Flatbush Avenue, between Grand Army Plaza and Tillary Street, as part of the Clear Curbs element of the Mayor Bill de Blasio’s congestion plan.

DOT does have a voluntary program (Off-Hour Deliveries Program) through which it is working with transporters and receivers to rethink their delivery schedules by shifting peak deliveries to less congested periods (7 p.m. to 6 a.m.), according to ohdnyc.com.

The 53’ Problem

New York City law says that trucks must stick to truck routes, but can enter local streets to make deliveries by using the shortest route to get to their dropoff location. Trucks wandering off the route are driving illegally.

In addition, the maximum length allowed for a truck in the city is 55 feet. This means the frequently sighted tractor-trailers with 53’ trailers are considered oversized. Vehicles exceeding this maximum length must obtain a daily “over-dimensional vehicles permit” for each portion of the trip (there and back).

Though enforcement is thought to be sparse, approximately 49,000-50,000 of those daily permits are issued per fiscal year, according to DOT. Trucks of this size have been sighted traveling along tiny Love Lane on their way to Henry Street.

According to the Twitter account @illegal53NYC, which devotes itself to reports of trucks with enclosed trailers that measure 53’ or more, the oversized vehicles are a citywide problem, and they cause more than their share of fatalities.

The developers of the Quay Tower in Brooklyn Bridge Park will be going extremely high-tech by installing Amazon Echo devices in every unit. Echo devices communicate with Amazon’s intelligent personal assistant service Alexa, which is capable of voice interaction, making to-do lists, setting alarms, providing weather and traffic information, playing music and more.

“At Quay Tower, we’re working hard to deliver homes that meet modern-day needs of active New Yorkers and their families,” Robert Levine, president and CEO of RAL Companies, said. “We’re trying to take that to the next level by integrating Alexa.”

Quay Tower’s partnership with Amazon is the first of its kind for a Brooklyn condo, according to Patch. The 28-story building, which is expected to be completed next year, will also have other smart devices, such as voice-controlled Nest thermostats and Lutron Caseta light switches and dimmers, Patch reported. The new 126-unit building may be smart, but it won’t be cheap — prices for a two-bedroom apartment will start at $1.9 million.

Giant Trucks Prove Giant Headache To Brooklyn Heights Residents

Continued from page 3 Contributors have recently sent in photos of the big rigs — which can be identified by the number “53’” on the side near the rear — at Park Circle in Coney Island, on McDonald Avenue near Cortelyou Road, at McDonald Avenue and Avenue J, on Greenpoint Avenue, on South 4th Street and Kent Avenue, on 21st Avenue next to Washington Cemetery, at the intersection of Dean Street and Flatbush Avenue, and on and on.

On June 26, contributor Rob Underwood reported a 53’ 18-wheeler “approaching Sterling Place and 6th Avenue in

#ParkSlope, the intersection at which James Gregg was killed by an 18-wheeler just over two years ago.”

Oversized tractor-trailers are a problem in Red Hook as well.

“Here we go again! Another day, another illegal 53foot trailer in Red Hook destroying property,” tweeted Dry Dock Wine and Spirits on June 28. Dry Dock appealed to NYPD Commissioner James O’Neil and Councilmember Carlos Menchaca via tweet: “When will the NYPD enforce the laws that ban these vehicles on our streets.”

What can be done? The city says that people can lodge a complaint when they see an oversized or otherwise illegal vehicle where it doesn’t belong.

To do so, visit: www1.nyc.gov/apps/311universalintake/form.htm.

Reader Input Sought on Delivery Trucks The Brooklyn Heights Press urges readers in print and online to comment on a number of suggestions about problems with oversized 21st century trucks on 19th century brownstone streets.

Among the solutions suggested (in addition to city regulations cited in this article): 1) Heavy fines for deliveries after 6 a.m.

2) Designated Download Spots outside historic landmark boundaries, e.g. piers south of Atlantic Avenue, where smaller vehicles would bring merchandise to local merchants 3) Increased policing of loading zones during NYPD midnight shifts (to tow vehicles that keep loading trucks from doing their job curbside in the designated midnight to 6 a.m. time frame).

Readers are invited to make suggestions and/or comment on the ones listed above.

Why BRIC’s New President Believes in Brooklyn

By Arden Phillips The Bridge

Brooklyn has a new cultural curator, events impresario and booster. BRIC, the Downtown arts organization, recently announced that Kristina Newman-Scott, currently the director of culture for the state of Connecticut, will be the Brooklyn nonprofit group’s new president.

Newman-Scott will be taking over for Leslie Griesbach Schultz, who stepped down as president in June after serving for 13 years, during which she greatly expanded its programming and moved the organization into BRIC House, its 40,000-square-foot home.

BRIC’s new president speaks of her future home with the zeal of a convert. “Brooklyn is literally the most dy-

namic city in the world,” Newman-Scott told The Bridge. “I’ve never lived there, so I’m definitely still learning, but anytime I went to visit friends, this fantastic mixture of authenticity and focus on culture has stood out. And that’s pretty amazing.”

Newman-Scott will have a sturdy stage to build upon. BRIC offers major music festivals including the BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! Festival (in the summer) and BRIC JazzFest (fall) as well as the Emmy-winning BRIC TV network, art exhibitions and educational programs.

When the BRIC executive-search team reached out to Newman-Scott, she was skeptical at first, she told her hometown newspaper. But after finding out more about the organization, she realized it was a great fit. “In this one or-

Says Newman-Scott of her family of four: “We’re going to be rolling deep in Brooklyn.”

Photo by Chion Wolf ganization, every single area that they’re touching, producing, presenting,” she told The Bridge, “is in alignment with all the work that I’ve done in my career.”

Originally from Kingston, Jamaica, Newman-Scott was a painter during her time as a BFA student at Kingston’s Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts. Upon graduating, she moved to New England and went into arts management, serving as director of programs at the Boston Center for the Arts and as director of marketing, events and cultural affairs for the city of Hartford, among other roles.

What her recent posts have had in common, she said, is working “at the intersection of art, community development and government.” Newman-Scott believes that her new role will be liberating. “There’s not much agility in government,” she said. In order to be innovative, “you have to be open to taking risk and in government, risk is not a thing that anybody is comfortable with.”

Among her initial goals at BRIC is raising the organization’s profile and

expanding its reach. “I am committed to ensuring that in the future, there will not be one person in Brooklyn who won’t know what BRIC is,” she told The New York Times. “Everyone — whether it’s the guy that developed the building down the block or the woman who has the bodega — should feel like BRIC is the place that they get to see authentic Brooklyn through arts and culture.”

Newman-Scott will be breaking ground as “one of the very few women of color to lead a major New York cultural institution,” the Times noted. She’ll lead a staff of more than 175 people, 58 percent nonwhite, a notably high proportion for such an organization.

BRIC has operating revenues of nearly $16 million.

Newman-Scott and her husband, co-owner of Scott’s Jamaican Bakery in Hartford, plan to move to Brooklyn soon with their two daughters. “So watch out.

All four of us,” she said. “We’re going to be rolling deep in Brooklyn. We’re loving the idea of it.”

Coney Island CONEY ISLAND NATIVE History Day IS STEEPED IN to Celebrate NEIGHBORHOOD’S Immigrants

HISTORY

By Paula Katinas

Brooklyn Daily Eagle

The contributions that immigrants have made to Coney Island will be the centerpiece of a special celebration of the neighborhood’s history on Aug. 11.

The Eighth Annual Coney Island History Day will take place at two spots: Deno’s Wonder Wheel Park, located between Bowery Street and the boardwalk, and the Coney Island History Project at 3059 West 12th St. The festivities will run from 2 to 6 p.m.

The event will feature performances by Russian ballet dancers, a Haitian drummer, a Mexican mariachi band, a Chinese folk dance troupe and Italian opera singers. The performances will take place at the Dreamland Plaza Stage at 3 p.m. following an opening ceremony at 2 p.m.

The festivities will be hosted by Deno John Vourderis, of Deno’s Wonder Wheel Park, and Charles Denson, co-founder and executive director of the Coney Island History Project, a non-profit group that works to preserve the community’s history.

In addition to enjoying the music and dance performances, visitors will have the chance to share their fondest memories of Coney Island by talking about their experiences in the History Project’s Oral Archive History booth.

Coney Island has always serve as a melting pot in New York, according to Denson, who said Deno’s Wonder Wheel Park is a perfect illustration of the gifts and talents that immigrants have brought to the area over the past 120 years.

“The Wonder Wheel was saved by a Greek immigrant,” he told the Brooklyn Eagle.

The Wonder Wheel was built in 1920.

Deno D. Vourderis, who was born the same year as the ride was built, came to the U.S. from Greece at the age of 14. “He was one of 22 children,” Denson said. Vourderis purchased the Wonder Wheel in 1983 as a present for his wife.

Vourderis decided to revitalize the old ride and then built a park around it containing other rides for children and families to enjoy.

In 1989, the Wonder Wheel was designated as New York City landmark. The street outside the park was named in Vourderis’ honor in 2001.

Coney Island’s amusement park area has drawn immigrants for generations, according to historians.

One of the saddest days of Charles Denson’s life took place when he was a boy growing up in Coney Island and he watched through a fence as bulldozers tore down the last of the rides in Steeplechase Park. It was 1966 and the once-iconic amusement park was being demolished.

“It was a transitional time. Steeplechase Park was closing down. It was one of the saddest times

of my life, watching them tear the park apart,” Denson told this newspaper in a phone interview on July 30.

By the 1960s, Coney Island had become bleak.

Crime increased and residents walked down the street looking over their shoulders.

The only remnant left from Steeplechase Park is the Parachute Jump.

“I never gave up on Coney Island. I always thought it could recover,” Denson said.

Not only did Coney Is-

land recover, these days, it is thriving. The beach, boardwalk and Luna Park have become tourist Meccas. Earlier this year, the Coney Island Boardwalk was declared a scenic landmark by New York City. MCU Park, where the Brooklyn Cyclones play, draws crowds of baseball fans and the neighborhood boasts numerous restaurants. The Ford Amphitheater is a glorious addition to the ambience.

Denson, 65, has watched the renaissance

with pride.

Denson, a photographer and documentary filmmaker, is co-founder of the Coney Island History Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the neighborhood’s history.

He has also written three books. “Coney Island Lost and Found,” was published in 2002.

“Wild Ride! A Coney Island Roller Coaster” came out in 2007 and Continued to page 0

Eye on Real E tate Take a Look at Bay Ridge’s Tucked-Away Treasures

By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn

Short streets, long on charm.

Bay Ridge is full of them.

The southwest Brooklyn shoreline neighborhood has picturesque single-block streets and privately owned cul-de-sacs, some of which are pedestrian pathways rather than roads for cars.

Stroll with us in search of these tucked-away treasures, which are sprinkled throughout Bay Ridge from Cannonball Park by the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge to Owl's Head Park at the neighborhood's north end.

And see brooklyneagle.com for previous stories about other short streets in the neighborhood.

Come See Harbor View TERRACE, Where Tom Selleck’s ‘Blue Bloods’ House is Located

There's one tiny Bay Ridge street everybody in the neighborhood knows how to find — because it's where Tom Selleck's “Blue Bloods” house is located.

The street is Harbor View Terrace, which is sandwiched between Shore Road and Narrows Avenue and runs from 82nd Street to 80th Street.

The house's exterior appears in every episode of CBS TV's long-running series. It's the fictional home of New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan, the character played by Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winner Selleck.

In every episode of the show, Reagan's family goes to his house for Sunday dinner. An exterior shot of 8070 Harbor View Terrace introduces the scene.

The Colonial-style brick house is situated on the corner of 82nd Street. It was built in the 1920s.

In real life, the Harbor View Terrace property belongs to the Diocese of St. Maron-USA, city Finance Department records indicate. A Maronite bishop lives in it.

To give you an idea of what houses on this short but stunning street are worth these days, another brick Colonial-style house, 8053 Harbor View Terrace, sold for $3 million in June 2017, Finance Department records indicate.

The huge lot next door at 8047 Harbor View Terrace sold in February 2017 for $2.5 million, Finance Department records show. Its new owners have drawn up plans to construct a 3,584-square-foot single-family home, city Buildings Department filings indicate.

Many of the properties on Harbor View Terrace are stand-alone Tudor-style houses with lovely landscaping.

According to Finance Department records, the Tudor house at 8029 Harbor View Terrace sold for $2.8 million in May. Two tiny private cul-de-sacs that are parallel to each other have entrances on Harbor View Terrace.

One is Colonial Court. The other is Harbor Lane.

The backs of some Shore Road houses are at the ends of these cul-de-sacs.

Come See Charming Cul-De-Sacs off 72nd Street

By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn

Did you know there's a street in Bay Ridge that's paved with red bricks?

That's a rarity in this day and age.

It's Bennett Court, a cul-de-sac that is tucked between Third and Fourth avenues and has its entrance on 72nd Street.

It is lined with a handful of charming, old-fashioned rowhouses.

• Parallel to Bennett Court, and very close by between Third and Fourth avenues, you find Ridge Court. It, too, is a cul-de-sac with charming rowhouses.

To give you an indication of what properties go for on these two tiny streets, 7107 Ridge Court sold for $860,000 in June, city Finance Department records indicate.

• A third Bay Ridge cul-de-sac with an entrance on 72nd Street is called 72nd Court. It can be found on the

block between Shore Road and Narrows Avenue.

It is a serene corner of the neighborhood. Several rowhouses on 72nd Court's odd-numbered side have porches with beautiful awnungs.

ABOVE: Bennett Court is paved with red bricks, which is unusual in 21st-century Brooklyn. RIGHT: Bay Ridge is full of cul-de-sacs if you know where to look. This is the 72nd Street entrance to one of them, which is called Bennett Court.

Welcome to Louise Terrace, which is a Tudor mecca.

Come See Terrific Tudors on Louise Terrace in Bay Ridge

By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn

Tudor City!

That's what Louise Terrace, one of our favorite short streets in Bay Ridge, looks like.

The houses on either side of the tidy terrace are lined up in perfect, Tudor-accented rows.

It's one of three tiny streets with entrances on 70th Street.

Though each street is just a block long, these aren't dead ends. They aren't private streets with restricted parking, like so many of the neighborhood's picturesque short streets.

Louise Terrace runs from 70th Street to Mackay Place on the block between Narrows Avenue and Colonial Road.

To give you an idea of what its homes are worth, city Finance Department records show that 7005 Louise Terrace sold for $980,000 in June. The seller had paid $175,000 for it in an estate sale in 1992, Finance Department records indicate.

The house next door, 7003 Louise Terrace, sold for

$1.055 million last year, Finance Department records show.

By the way, Mackay Place, a two-block-long street between Shore Road and Colonial Road, is also very picturesque.

Flags fly outside several Mackay Place homes near the entrance to Louise Terrace, a sight which pleases our patriotic soul. (Yes, a person can be both a member of the media and a patriot. The two things are not mutually exclusive.)

An old-fashioned, stand-alone house at 66 Mackay Place has a lawn and terrific trees.

The other two short streets we want to show you are between Colonial Road and Ridge Boulevard.

Each one runs from 70th Street to 71st Street. The two are parallel to each other. Here they are: • Ridgecrest Terrace actually does rise a bit higher in its middle and descend at its two ends, as its name suggests.

It is lined with classic 20th-century rowhouses that you see in many Southwest Brooklyn neighborhoods.

To give you an idea of what they're worth, 7013 Ridgecrest Terrace sold for $950,000 in an estate sale in July 2016, Finance Department records indicate.

This is Ridgecrest Terrace at the corner of 71st Street.

B’klyn DA: Low-Level Marijuana Prosecutions Down 91 Percent

By Rob Abruzzese INBrooklyn

The mayor and the police commissioner announced in June that the city will have a new policy when it comes to marijuana arrests, but Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez has attempted to lead the way on the issue.

His office announced on Friday that low-level marijuana prosecutions have dropped by more than 91 percent between January and June of this year.

Gonzalez said that due to the success of the new policy the Brooklyn DA’s Office will continue to decline to prosecute most marijuana cases.

“Aggressive enforcement and prosecution of personal possession and use of marijuana does not keep us safer, and the glaring racial disparities in who is and is not arrested have contributed to a sense among many in our communities that the system is unfair,” Gonzalez said. “This in turn contributes to a lack of trust in law enforcement, which makes us all less safe.

“That is why, earlier this year, we expanded our existing non-prosecution policy to include smoking cases,” he continued. “That pilot policy proved to be effective in dramatically reducing the number of low-level marijuana cases processed in court, freeing resources and strengthening trust in the justice system. I intend to maintain this approach and to only prosecute the most egregious offenses, which will help ensure fairness and equal justice.”

This change in policy is a response to studies that show that people of color are much more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession despite the fact that white people are more likely to partake.

One study conducted by the Police Reform Organizing Project found that people of color were 90 percent more likely to be busted for possession in New York City from January to June of this year.

NYPD executives have insisted that they are merely responding to calls of complaints about marijuana as the reason certain neighborhoods are policed more heavily than others. However, a report published by Politico in March found no such correlation in the data.

For instance, the predominantly Hispanic neighborhood of East Harlem received 304 marijuana complaints and had 683 arrests. Meanwhile, the predominantly white neighborhood of the Upper East Side had 123 complaints and only 63 arrests, according to Politico.com.

To combat this racial disparity in Brooklyn, Gonzalez’s office has gradually expanded its policy of not prosecuting low-level cases to include people smoking in public.

The Brooklyn DA’s Office still prosecutes marijuana cases that it considers a threat to public safety, such as driving while smoking or when people are “creating a genuine nuisance,” such as smoking on the subway or in a school yard where kids may be exposed. It will also prosecute cases involving violent criminal activity.

Taken together, the number of cases that were accepted for prosecution this year declined from 349 in January to 29 in June — a drop of 91.6 percent. Of the cases that were prosecuted between January and June 2018, 84 percent resulted in a dismissal (by either an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal or by other means), according to the Brooklyn DA's Office.

The DA’s Office pointed out on Friday that it began to implement its policy before the city and the NYPD announced that it would make changes. It predicted that once NYPD implements its new protocols, the number of cases prosecuted will drop further.

The DA acknowledged that past marijuana cases, which would no longer be prosecuted under his new guidelines, could still have consequences today.

He explained that his Justice 2020 Initiative is working on a new program for vacating and sealing some past marijuana convictions.

FAITH IN BROOKLYN

Third-Grader from Gravesend Wins Prayer-Based Art Contest A student at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Academy in Brooklyn’s Gravesend neighborhood was named a first-place winner in the 2018 “Try Prayer! It Works” Contest.

Family Rosary sponsors this national competition that encourages students to express their faith through art, poetry and prose. Each year, children and teens from Catholic schools, parishes and other Catholic organizations across the globe utilize their creative skills to illustrate a different faith-based theme.

The 20th annual contest, which attracted nearly 800 entries from across the U.S., was themed “Mary, the New Eve.” The winner from Brooklyn is Lisa Olech, a

Acclaimed German Youth Choir Will Sing At Zion Church In Heights Zion German Evangelical Lutheran Church will host 40 young people from Germany, as their ensemble gives a concert here on Wednesday, Aug. 8.

The award-winning youth choir, Vivida Banda (“Rasselbunde” in German, or “A Gang of Rascals”) has begun its U.S. tour this summer. The first performance of the tour by the choir, which hails from St. Peter’s Church in Weinheim, Germany, was at the University United Methodist Church in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The ensemble presented a varied program of contemporary and classical songs in German and English.

Vivida Banda is considered the most advanced choir of the St. Peter’s Church Singschule (song school).

Children begin singing with the Singschule from the age of one and continue through age 21 in a graded choral program. They learn music of all epochs and genres. The only requirement is that the music is of high quality. Vivida Banda regularly sings in services and concerts in and around Weinheim, which is near Mannheim, near the Rhine and Neckar rivers.

Director Anne Langenbach founded Vivida Banda in 2009, and won the prestigious ECHO Klassik award for promoting young people in 2013. In recent years, Vivida Banda has sung at Rosengarten, Congress Center Mannheim and on ZDF television. This biennial tour is the ensemble’s first one to the United States.

The Aug. 8 concert at Zion German Evangelical Lutheran Church (125 Henry St. in Brooklyn Heights) begins at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free; donations are welcome.

A Brooklyn girl created the winning work in the third grade art category. third-grader at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Academy. Her prize was in the art category.

The Try Prayer! It Works! Contest focuses on family faith enrichment in the home. The goal is to bring the Catholic Church’s teachings to life around the dinner table with discussion prompts, reflection question, prayer ideas and creativity.

Students from kindergarten through

12th grade creatively depicted in various forms how their families are united through prayer and faith.

This year the theme was Mary, the New Eve. Students from kindergarten through 12th grade creatively depicted in various forms how their families are united through prayer and faith.

Entries were judged on content, ability to capture and interpret the theme, artistic and technical proficiency, and adherence

to rules.

Each year, in the United States, three winners are chosen per grade, one each from three categories: Art, Poetry and Prose. First place winners are awarded $100, and the sponsoring organization earns $100. All the teachers involved are given a memento and each student who participated a Certificate of Appreciation.

Family Rosary was founded in 1942 by Father Patrick Peyton, C.S.C.

Religion in the Original Eagle:

Churches Eulogize Politician William Jennings Bryan

By Francesca Norsen Tate Religion Editor

The Brooklyn Eagle of August 3, 1925 reported that noted and controversial politician and moralist William Jennings Bryan was eulogized in several churches around the borough.

“William Jennings Bryan dead has awakened in America a determination that assaults on religion must cease,” declared Canon William Sheafe Chase in his sermon at Christ Protestant Episcopal Church on Bedford Avenue.

Another Episcopal cleric at Church of the Redeemer, the Rev. Thomas J. Lacey, said that Bryan “was noble of heart and of even temperament, unruffled in defeat and singularly free from personal animosities.”

Noting this although Bryan’s personal magnetism didn’t always him win his causes, but that his gifts were in social betterment rather than in political prominence. Dr. Lacey also noted that “the attitude of the Episcopal Church is ‘decidedly liberal’ to the theory of evolution. It is only those men hostile to faith that have selected evolution as a sort of veiled weapon to undermine and destroy the foundations of religion.”

Church of the Redeemer no longer exists, having been deconsecrated in 2012 and the property sold to a real estate developer.

NEED TO KNOW What Accumulates In a Carpet ?

Brooklyn Heights Firm Gives Old Shipping Containers a New Life

By Raanan Geberer

Brooklyn Heights Press

About 20 million steel containers are used to transport cargo around the world, but what happens to old freight containers when they’re no longer needed? Well, a company in Brooklyn Heights known as SG Blocks now transforms them into homes and businesses.

The company has completed projects in all 50 states, including a Starbucks in Salt Lake City and a Bareburger on Long Island, according to CBS New York. The containers are 8 feet wide by either 20 or 40 feet long, and up to nine of them can be stacked on top of each other.

Paul Galvin, the founder of SG Blocks, pointed out that using the structures costs substantially less than traditional buildings.

“Anyone involved in construction, either personally or professionally, knows the outrageous prices being charged by general contractors,” he said.

Marc Vecchiarelli, owner of Elli Woodworking in Staten Island, is turning four containers into a cocktail bar and restaurant, and he is absolutely sure that the use of such containers will be the future of construction. A typical project takes six weeks to build and several hours to install, CBS New York said.

Part of Borough Hall Subway Station Collapses, Once Again

Meet the Man Responsible For Maintaining the Flags Atop the Brooklyn Bridge

By Raanan Geberer

Brooklyn Heights Press

Cesar Pazmino’s job is not for the faint of heart. He’s the city employee responsible for taking care of the two American flags atop the Brooklyn Bridge, and in the mornings, he climbs a quarter mile along a narrow steel cable to the bridge’s apex, 276 feet above the East River, according to NY1.

The Colombian immigrant has been doing his job for 27 years, and although he takes care of other city bridges as well, the Brooklyn Bridge is his favorite.

“We go up as often as needed. For the most part I’ll be going up there to raise, lower, change the flags, paint the flag poles,” said Pazmino, who was born on the Fourth of July.

last Thursday afternoon onto the same station’s Brooklyn-bound platform. A transit worker reported that no one was injured and that MTA is looking into the incident.

The Borough Hall’s stop serving the 4 and 5 trains is the oldest underground station in Brooklyn, having opened in 1908 (the Borough Hall platforms serving the 2 and 3 trains opened about 10 years later). After last month’s incident, MTA promised to invest $43 million toward repairs to the station, including rehabilitating the ceiling, installing new tiles, replacing platform edges and redesigning the turnstile areas, according to Curbed.

For the few times a year that he replaces the flags due to wear and tear, his safety is dependent only on a harness attached to one of the bridge’s smaller cables, NY1 said.

Pazmino told NY1 that his job is the hardest, but also the most meaningful when he lowers flags to half-staff to honor fallen police officers or other city workers killed on the job.

He’s also reminded of the Sept. 11, 2001 tragedy on a daily basis when he goes up on the bridge “and the towers are no longer there.” At 63, he has no plans to retire.

AT RIGHT: Visitors stroll along the Brooklyn Bridge’s bike and pedestrian lanes.
