IRAN — Day of sorrow: Mourners attended a funeral ceremony in Tehran yesterday for Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, who was killed in Iraq by a U.S. drone strike recently. The processions marked the first time Iran has honored a single man with a multi-city ceremony. In the wake of Soleimani’s death, Iran has threatened retaliations against the United States.

Could rolling back bail reform change the plan to close Rikers?

Could rolling back bail reform change the plan to close Rikers?

By Phoenix Reporters | The PHOENIX

Will more proposed changes in bail have a major effect on the future of the city’s jails? Possibly, say key politicians and criminal justice system observers.

In fact, one such observer, Bob Capano — who has been an adjunct professor of political science at John Jay College of Criminal Justice for more than 15 years, and who is a former Republican City Council candidate in Brooklyn and a staunch ally of law enforcement — has been strongly critical of the plan to close the infamous Rikers Island jail from the very beginning.

“The plan to close Rikers Island and locate jails throughout the five boroughs was ill-conceived from the day it was proposed,” Capano says. “Rikers Island is surrounded by high fences, lots of barbed wire, swift currents and has one way on or off: a bridge. That's what anyone with common sense would call a good location for a jail.”

Meanwhile, advocates for the plan to shut Rikers in favor of smaller neighborhood-based jails are beginning to fret over the push to roll back some of the provisions of the bail law reforms that went into effect on Jan. 1, saying the contentious plan was carefully crafted using population estimates that included the impact of bail reform.

A source at City Council Speaker Corey Johnson’s office told the PHOENIX there would be no way to predict what might happen to the jail plan if bail reforms are scaled back, since the calculations that went into the plan and the smaller jail model were complex. The source in Johnson’s office declined to be quoted.

Brooklyn Defender Services, which advocated for bail reform and the boroughbased jail plan, cautioned that stepping back on the reforms could put the kibosh on the plan to close Rikers.

“The new bail laws increase fairness and community safety in Brooklyn,” Lisa Schreibersdorf, executive director of Brooklyn Defender Services, told the PHOENIX. “If they are rolled back, which we and countless others across the state would strongly oppose, the city’s commitment to close Rikers could be seriously compromised.”

Schreibersdorf also warned that giving judges more discretion to hold defendants who have not yet been con-

victed of a crime could backfire, causing jail populations to balloon.

“Changing the law to require judges to attempt to predict a person’s future dangerousness and jail them accordingly could likely increase rather than decrease local jail populations, in addition to reinforcing racism in our criminal legal system and undermining basic constitutional rights,” she said.

detention facilities in Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan and the Bronx. The city initially planned to build a massive 430-foot jail in place of the Brooklyn Detention Complex on Atlantic Avenue in Boerum Hill — roughly two and a half times larger than the current 11-story jail, which closed last week.

In the face of local opposition at the sites of each of the proposed jails, de Blasio

The current Brooklyn Detention Complex.

A spokesperson for Mayor Bill de Blasio, who supports bail reform but has come out in favor of tweaking the law, said that any changes will not stop the momentum on closing Rikers. The Mayor’s Office said other criminal justice reforms will keep numbers down.

“In recent years, we have seen a drastic decrease in the number of people entering our corrections system — all while remaining the safest big city in America,” said B. Colby Hamilton, chief of public affairs at the Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice.

“We expect this trend to continue with the use of nonmoney bail options and larger reforms to our case processing and parole system.”

The mayor’s $9 billion plan to close the jail complex at Rikers by 2026 depends on the construction of new

and Johnson’s offices had announced smaller jails, predicated on lower jail populations due to a slate of criminal justice reform measures, including eliminating cash bail on misdemeanors and nonviolent felonies.

All four proposed jail heights plummeted by an average of 90 feet after protests, revised jail population estimates and accusations of political gamesmanship. The planned Brooklyn Detention Complex had its height cut to 295 feet. The proposed jail in Kew Gardens, Queens, was slashed to 195 feet. The Council passed the plan on Oct. 17, and the Brooklyn facility was shuttered on Jan. 2.

Capano, however, argues that even scaled-down borough-based jails are a bad idea.

“If someone escapes from Rikers Island, a dangerous prisoner is still contained on a heavily secured island and not roaming the streets of our neighborhoods,” he said.

“Facilities at Rikers may need to be improved, but that can be achieved with temporary facilities and a phased redevelopment plan. Closing Rikers and opening neighborhood jails will not end the violence against correction officers and between prisoners. This is the result of weak leadership and the poor policies of the de Blasio administration, not location."

Meanwhile, the controversial bail reforms passed in Albany took effect on Jan. 1, eliminating pretrial detention and cash bail for defendants charged with misdemeanors

or nonviolent felonies.

Critics of the bail reform law say dangerous people will be released while awaiting trial, citing cases like that of Albany resident Paul Barbaritano, accused of manslaughter for choking and stabbing a woman to death. Barbaritano was released on bail when the reforms took effect.

Following Barbaritano’s release and other high-profile cases, Gov. Andrew Cuomo and de Blasio have also backed changes to the bail reforms.

“I think there is real agreement that the bail reform law needs to be amended,” de Blasio said Thursday. “There is a chance now for the legislature to get it right. They did some very good reforms, but there’s also things that need to be done.”

The Independent Commission on New York City Criminal Justice and Incarceration Reform, chaired by former Chief Judge of the State of New York Jonathan Lippman, argues that bail reforms are crucial and that panic over the effects is misplaced. The group, known as the Lippman Commission, is an independent body of more than two dozen experts, policymakers and advocates that authored the plans to close Rikers, create borough-based jails and reduce jail sizes.

“There’s been a lot of discussion about specifics, but anyone saying the sky is falling is wrong,” Tyler Nims, executive director of the Lippman Commission, told the PHOENIX. People had similar fears over the replacement of the Rockefeller drug laws and the overturning of the city’s stop-andfrisk policy, he pointed out.

Assemblymember Jo Anne Simon, who represents the area where the new Brooklyn jail will be built, also said changing the new bail laws is misguided.

“We ought to be really careful about modifying bail reform, especially since the new law has been in effect for only a week,” she said.

“Our previous laws were deeply flawed, perpetuating racial bias and income bias, leaving individuals who can’t afford bail behind bars for months or even years — even though they had not been convicted of any crime.

That doesn’t make our city safer and modifying the new law won’t either.”

Since the borough-based jail plan passed by the Council defined the size of the facilities and limited the number of beds, it’s possible any changes

to the plan would require restarting the land use process, which could take up to a year.

The Department of City Planning declined to comment on that possibility.

Nims, however, isn’t worried that rolling back parts of the bail reform package will make much of a dent in the plan to build smaller jails, since there are other factors that contribute to lowering the jail population.

According to Nims, “There are other ways to reduce the numbers,” such as speeding up case processing and changing policy at the district attorneys’ offices. “[Brooklyn District Attorney Eric] Gonzalez did a tremendous job. We need a similar process in the other boroughs.”

Parole reform would also reduce the jail population, he said. “A quarter or more of the people in Rikers are there because of alleged parole violations.”

Nims supports the Less Is More Act, which would keep out of jail paroled people who are charged with a noncriminal violation that violates their parole, such as breaking curfew or getting a traffic ticket.

The Less Is More Act is sponsored by State Sen. Brian Benjamin and Assemblymember Walter Mosley and is supported by Gonzalez, among others. According to Benjamin’s website, more than 700 prisoners at Rikers today are in for non-criminal violations of this sort.

“I think the numbers set are ambitious but achievable.

Bail reform is part of it,” Nims said. “A lot of momentum, pressure and smart policies lead to a smaller, more effective justice system with fewer people incarcerated.”

Two Brooklyn social media ‘pimps’ charged with sex trafficking a single mother

By Rob Abruzzese The PHOENIX

Two alleged “pimps” and members of the Brooklyn-based "Insane Crip Gangsters" gang were arrested and charged on Friday in federal court with sex trafficking, sex trafficking conspiracy and promoting prostitution.

Prosecutors claim the duo drugged a woman, a single mother, and deprived her of food and sleep in order to get her to do what they wanted. They also claim that the duo tattooed their victim with their names and promoted their prostitution business on social media.

Gladimir Thomas, a 31-year-old also known as Sleep, Sleep Boss and Daddy; and Ronald Thomas, a 27-year-old known as Roco, Roco Da Boss and Daddy; were arraigned in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District in front of Magistrate Judge Steven Tiscione.

“As alleged, over a period of years, the defendants forced a woman to prostitute herself, while they enriched themselves at her expense,” stated United States Attorney Richard Donoghue. “This office will continue to work with the FBI and our local law enforcement partners to put an end to the criminal acts of those who seek to profit from sexual slavery.”

4 • The PHOENIX • Friday, January 10, 2020

The two defendants allegedly prostituted their victim in Brooklyn, Queens and Harlem between 2014 and 2018.

Both defendants have a violent criminal history, including Gladimir, who was convicted of assault in the third degree on Dec. 3, 2019 in connection with an incident in which he was stopped by cops in Brooklyn after they observed him driving the wrong way down a one-way street.

Ronald currently has three separate pending cases of robbery in the second degree pending in the borough, according to prosecutors.

Prosecutors claim to have evidence recovered from Gladimir's cell phone and Ronald's Facebook and Instagram accounts depicting guns, bulletproof vests, narcotics and 20 fake ID cards.

The top charge of sex trafficking carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years in prison and has the potential for life in prison.

The Insane Crip Gangsters are allegedly a local subset of the Crips gang.

Prosecutors claim that as a convicted felon, Gladimir Thomas is violating the law by holding a firearm at a gun range, as This screenshot from Ronald Thomas' Instagram account, seen here in a photo recovered from his phone that is dated posted on Nov. 27, 2018, appears to depict him holding a Dec. 6, 2018.

Take a wintry walk through Shirley Chisholm State Park in East New York East New York’s Shirley Chisholm State Park is a splendid place for a winter stroll.

By Lore Croghan

INBrooklyn

Have you seen East New York’s new park, which was named to honor the inspirational Shirley Chisholm, the first African-American major party candidate to run for president?

It’s stunning in the wintertime.

Bundle up — and bring lunch because you’ll wind up spending a long time at Shirley Chisholm State Park. It’s 407 acres in size, which is a lot of ground to cover. And there are picnic tables in spots with jaw-dropping views.

The recreation area on the shoreline of Jamaica Bay, which opened last summer, has high hills where gravel paths for hiking and cycling snake through golden-hued grasses. Pathways also run along the water’s edge. There are piers where you can sit and take in the scenery.

The terrain was created over a period of several years by the city Department of Environmental Protection on side-byside Pennsylvania Avenue Landfill and Fountain Avenue Landfill. I’ll tell you more about these former garbage dumps in a minute.

DANIELLE MASTRION’S MURALS The park’s vehicular entrance is at the end of Pennsylvania Avenue, just past the Belt Parkway, beside a building decorated with a giant portrait of Brooklyn-born Chisholm, who was also the first African-American woman elected to the U.S. Congress.

The portrait is the work of Brooklyn painter and muralist Danielle Mastrion. You’ve seen her work on the Coney Island Boardwalk. Mastrion’s Instagram-worthy painting of a multicolored fish is included in the Ocean Plastic Awareness Mural Project which is on the facade of the New York Aquarium.

Before I show you around Shirley Chisholm State Park, I should explain how to get there if you don’t live within walking distance of it.

Take the 3 train to its Pennsylvania Avenue station. Then ride the B83 bus to its stop at the corner of Pennsylvania and Seaview avenues. The park’s Pennsylvania Avenue entrance is nearby.

When I typed the park’s address, 1750 Pennsylvania Ave., into the MTA Trip Planner to prepare for a recent visit, it recommended I ride the bus to a stop that’s a mile away from the park.

The request for directions works better if you input the address 1530 Pennsylvania Ave. as your destination. That’s a building at Spring Creek Towers, a 46-building complex also known as Starrett City which is right near Shirley Chisholm State Park.

HENDRIX CREEK ROAD

There are various paths you can take on this side of Shirley Chisholm State Park, which was formerly the 110-acre Pennsylvania Avenue Landfill.

After looking at Mastrion’s vibrant murals, I decided to head in the direction of Hendrix Creek Road.

— Continued on page 2 INB —

When you step inside the park, you’ll immediately get an eyeful of Chisholm’s vibrant portrait.

Mastrion has decorated the other three walls of the building that’s graced by Chisholm’s smiling face with murals showing some of the plants, birds and animals that thrive in the park.

A saying of Chisholm’s — “Service is the rent we pay for the privilege of living on this earth” — is incorporated into the murals’ design.

This is Hendrix Creek in Shirley Chisholm State Park as seen from an overpass.

FRESH CREEK’S LOVELY SHORELINE When I got to the spot on Fresh Creek where the kayak launch is located, I stayed up on Penn Ring Drive and looked at the sandy shoreline and the sunlight glittering on the water.

The beach was lovely. But I didn’t see a footpath down to it so I didn’t walk down there.

Instead, I did an about-face and headed up the hill on Red Tail Trail.

As I ascended, I could see a pathway called Peregrine Trail winding through the prairie grass and down to Penn Pier.

There’s more stuff to tell you about the history of Shirley Chisholm State Park.

For starters, here’s a footnote for folks who are fascinated by autocratic city planner Robert Moses — or the Power Broker, as he’s known thanks to Robert Caro’s biography about him.

In the late 1940s, Moses was behind a city Parks Department plan to create an 885-acre park and nature preserve on a tract of land that included the current Shirley Chisholm State Park site, Nathan Kensinger wrote in a 2019 Curbed New York story.

Instead, 153 acres of the swampy property was later filled in and used as a site to construct government-subsidized Starrett City, Kensinger wrote. (By the way, Kensinger’s story has wonderful photos of Shirley Chisholm State Park’s lush green summertime landscapes.)

PICNIC TABLES’ PANORAMIC VIEWS

TAKE A WINTRY WALK THROUGH SHIRLEY CHISHOLM STATE PARK — Continued from page 2 INB —

THE BIKE LIBRARY One of the cool things located on Hendrix Creek Road is a shipping container that serves as a base of operations for the park’s Bike Library.

Yes, that’s what this free service is called. Instead of checking out books, you can borrow a recycled bicycle to ride in the park (and you get a helmet, too).

The organization providing this service is Bike New York, a nonprofit that teaches people how to ride bicycles and runs the Five Boro Bike Tour.

The Bike Library is closed for the winter, but I wanted to mention it anyway.

As you walk along Hendrix Creek Road, you’ll hear tall grasses whisper in the breeze and see squadrons of geese fly in tidy formations. The body of water at your left hand is Hendrix Creek.

PENN PIER Also, speaking of winter, I need to mention that Shirley Chisholm State Park closes early this time of year. Its website says closing time is at dusk. Chalkboard signs on the premises spell out more specific rules.

In the wintertime, you can’t enter the Pennsylvania Avenue side of the park after 3:30 p.m. Closing time in this section of the park is 4:30 p.m.

On the Fountain Avenue side of the park, the last entry time is 3 p.m. and closing time is 4 p.m.

So although the row of fresh, new picnic tables along Hendrix Creek is an inviting place to sit and contemplate nature, keep walking or you’ll surely run out of time to see Shirley Chisholm State Park’s most awesome spots.

For instance, Penn Pier is at the end of Hendrix Creek Road. A photogenic metal walkway juts out from the pier into the waters of Jamaica Bay’s North Channel. Across the water, you can see Fountain Pier, which is covered with a white roof.

There are white-painted picnic tables beside Penn Pier.

But once again, I recommend you keep walking.

Fountain Pier looks a bit like an abstract painting.

Danielle Mastrion’s portrait of Shirley Chisholm can be found at the vehicular entrance to the East New York park that bears her name.

DANGEROUS SEAGULLS I headed up the hill along Penn Ring Drive — and was rewarded with the sight of the sun suddenly coming out. It lit up the golden-grassed landscape like a movie set while storm clouds over Jamaica Bay remained a dark shade of purple.

Off in the distance, the control tower at John F. Kennedy International Airport turned a bright white hue, as though there were floodlights on it.

While I continue walking up Penn Ring Drive and over to the Penn Kayak Launch on the shoreline of Fresh Creek, let me fill you in on some details about the two former landfills that comprise Shirley Chisholm State Park.

They were city dumps for around a quarter of a century.

Published accounts give differing dates for their openings and closings.

The hill of garbage at the 297-acre Fountain Avenue Landfill had grown to a height of 140 feet by the time its closing was announced in late 1985.

This mountainous landfill is now capped with impermeable plastic and a below-ground barrier topped by clean soil that’s populated with prairie grass and native plants. You can see it when you’re strolling around the Pennsylvania Avenue side of Shirley Chisholm State Park.

So many seagulls swarmed the Fountain Avenue dump that the Federal Aviation Administration declared them a hazard to JFK Airport’s arriving and departing planes, Elizabeth Kolbert reported in a Dec. 26, 1985 New York Times story about the landfill’s closing.

Kolbert’s story is filled with facts that are distressing to my environmentally conscious sensibilities. For instance: At the time of the Fountain Avenue Landfill’s closure, toxic substances were seeping from it into Jamaica Bay. In the 1970s, toxic waste oil was illegally disposed of in the Fountain Avenue Landfill. The cleanup cost the city $100 million.

New York City was legally entitled to dump garbage into the ocean until 1934.

Also, for many years mobsters used the Fountain Avenue Landfill as a burial ground for murder victims, a 2006 New York Times story by Steven Kurutz says.

You get a bird’s eye view of Starrett City from the top of the hill that Red Tail Trail traverses. In a space between the apartment complex’s buildings, you glimpse the Empire State Building.

There are picnic tables up here — this is where you should stop to eat lunch if you remembered to bring it, and savor the views. A bit further along on the top of this hill, you can see the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and a skyline full of skyscrapers including the World Trade Center.

When I was ready to resume my stroll after taking in the views, I continued walking on Red Tail Trail, which led down to the park’s Pennsylvania Avenue entrance where Chisholm’s mural can be found.

By the way, Chisholm — whose slogan was “Unbought and Unbossed” — lived in Crown Heights during her 1972 run for President.

The two former landfills that comprise Shirley Chisholm State Park are separated by Hendrix Creek.

To get from the old Pennsylvania Avenue Landfill to the old Fountain Avenue Landfill, you walk on a shared bike and pedestrian pathway on an overpass above Hendrix Creek. This is a good vantage point for taking photos of the creek. Just aim your camera carefully through a protective chain-link fence.

When I arrived at the Fountain Avenue gate, it was a few minutes after 3 p.m. Park workers stationed there did not let me inside. They’re serious about preventing people from accidentally getting locked in the park at closing time, and rightfully so.

ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DUMP TRUCKS The following day, I returned to the Fountain Avenue side of Shirley Chisholm State Park.

The Department of Environmental Protection spent $200 million on the ecological restoration of it and the Pennsylvania Avenue Landfill. The work began in March 2002 and took seven years, online DEP materials about the project indicate.

There’s now enough clean soil atop the two sides of the park to fill almost 100,000 dump trucks, Shirley Chisholm State Park’s website says.

During my stroll around the Fountain Avenue side of the park, I encountered wintry beauty at every turn.

I decided to walk on Fountain Ring Drive, which runs along the shoreline of Hendrix Creek. That way, I got a long-distance look at the part of the park where I’d been the previous day.

FOUNTAIN PIER Fountain Ring Drive led me to Fountain Pier, which I mentioned earlier. I took lots of photos of the underside of the pier’s roof, whose geometric patterns drew my eye.

The aquatic and shoreline views from Fountain Pier were superb.

Also, the hilltop trails on this side of the park are terrific.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the state’s intention to open the park in his January 2018 State of the State Address.

In April 2019, he included $20 million in the state’s 2020 Enacted Budget to pay for the construction of hiking and biking trails, a kayak launch, a shaded pier, picnic areas, restrooms, signage and a park office.

Shirley Chisholm State Park is Brooklyn’s third largest public recreation area. Marine Park and Prospect Park are bigger.

Brooklyn celebrates 23rd anniversary of Three Kings Day Parade

By John Alexander INBrooklyn

Children dressed as shepherds, angels and monks from schools in District 14 and 32 in Williamsburg and Bushwick proudly marched in New York’s largest traditional celebration of the Christian holiday of the Epiphany. This was the 23rd anniversary of the Brooklyn Three Kings Day Parade, which took place on Sun., Jan. 5 from 1 to 4 p.m. following a pre-parade mass at All Saints Catholic Church at 11 a.m.

The Feast of the Epiphany, Three Kings Day, commemorates the Biblical story of the three wise men from the East who followed the star of Bethlehem to bring gifts — frankincense, gold and myrrh — to the infant Christ.

As tradition goes, on the Epiphany, which is celebrated 12 days after Christmas, before going to sleep, children leave grass or hay under their beds for the camels that carry the Three Kings on their travels to deliver gifts to children around the world. The next day, friends and families gather to celebrate the arrival of the Three Kings.

Democratic District Leader Tommy Torres noted the cultural significance of the event he oversees every year. “It’s a beautiful day here and we have all the kids from the community coming out for our 23rd annual Brooklyn Three Kings Day Parade,” Torres told this paper.

“For me as an assistant principal, to spread that knowledge about the parade and our culture to our kids is so important.”

This year’s Three Kings Day parade godmother was P.S. 257 Assistant Principal Idalys Tolentino and the godfather was Tomas Hernandez, a board member of the parade committee for 23 years.

Also attending was Msgr. Jamie Gigantiello, pastor of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and administrator of Annunciation of the Virgin Mary, as well as vicar for development and director of parish giving programs for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn and Queens.

Among the elected officials marching in the parade — which began at the intersections of Meeker Avenue and Avenue of Puerto Rico (Graham Avenue) in Williamsburg — were Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez, City Council Speaker Corey Johnson, City Councilmember Robert Cornegy, Assemblymembers William Colton, Joe Lentol and Felix Ortiz and Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz.

“I’m here to celebrate a very rich Hispanic tradition,” Colton told this paper.

“In my area of South Brooklyn, we have a large Hispanic community. In fact, it really is an immigrant community where we also have a Chinese community, a Russian community, a Muslim community, an Italian community, an Irish community, and you can go on and on.”

Colton, whose district includes Bath Beach, Bensonhurst, Gravesend, Dyker Heights and Midwood, explained the importance of trying to honor and celebrate all the cultural traditions of people in the district. “When you do that, people begin to respect each other’s traditions, each other’s food, each other’s values, and begin to work together, realizing they all have some-

thing in common,” said Colton.

“Their needs and their concerns are all in common. It’s events like this parade that are so important to celebrate because that’s what our city is all about,” he added.

Joan Pleune, Freedom Rider, will discuss her experience.

They never treated us like we were human. They treated us like we were vicious animals, like they were always on guard, like we were going to do something to them. And they were doing it to us. - Frederick Leonard It is hard to imagine a feature film conveying the events with a more vivid sense of drama or suspense. The commentators — the riders themselves, historians, politicians, civil rights leaders — have mostly been chosen for an uncanny ability to convey the tension in a present-tense reconstruction….

The story told begins like this: On Mother’s Day in 1961 two buses departed Atlanta headed for Birmingham, Ala. CORE leaders assumed that the activists would confront hostility, but they had no idea what would follow. The first bus was burned in Anniston, Ala. Occupants of the second forged on with no knowledge of what their compatriots had just encountered. The riders possessed a fearlessness that leads you to imagine that even if cellphone technology had existed and had allowed them to be warned, little about their plans would have changed.

NOVENA TO ST. JUDE

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN

Holy St. Jude, Apostle and Martyr, great in virtue and rich in miracles, near kinsman of Jesus Christ, Faithful intercessor of all who invoke your special patronage in time of need, to you I have recourse from the depth of my heart and humbly beg to who God has given such great assistance. Help me in my present and urgent petition. In return I promise to make your name known and cause you to be invoked. St. Jude, pray for all who invoke your aid. Amen.

Say 3 Our Fathers, 3 Hail Marys and Glorias. Publication must be promised. This novena has never been known to fail.

Prayer to St. Jude. God who through Thy blessed Apostle Jude has brought us into the knowledge of Thy name, grant that by advancing in virtue we may set forth his everlasting glory, and by steering forth, his glory we may advance in virtue through Our Lord Jesus Christ, thy Son, who livest and reignest with Thee in the united of the Holy Spirit, world without end.

Amen, “Blessed Apostle, with confidence we invoke thee! St. Jude, help of the hopeless, aid me in my distress!”

(Never known to fail) O, most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine, Splendor of Heaven Blessed Mother, of the Son of God. Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. O, Star of the Sea help me and show me, herein you are my mother. O, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this necessity.

(Make Request) There are none that can withstand your power.

O, show me herein you are my mother. O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3X). O Holy Mary I place this cause in your hands (3X). Sweet Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3X). Thank you for your mercy to me and mine. Amen. This prayer must be said for three days and after three days your request will be granted and the prayer must be published.

Grateful thanks.

Rich from Marine Park asks: “What is the oldest bar in Brooklyn?”

That’s easily answered, Rich, but there are a few caveats that enter into my answer: Do you mean existing bar?

Are distilleries included? What do you mean by “bar?”

The oldest still-functioning bar is the Brooklyn Inn, formerly known as the Boerum Hill Café, located at Hoyt and Bergen streets, which opened in 1851. It’s a beautiful watering hole and just that. They do not serve food (you can bring take-outs), but a room for games is in the back.

The second oldest is Peter Luger’s, which opened in Williamsburg as Charles Luger’s Café, Billiards and Bowling Alley in 1876. His brother, Peter, took it over in 1877. A decade later, Teddy’s Bar and Grill, serving Peter Doelger’s beer, opened at 99 Berry St. Doelger’s brewery, The Brooklyn Inn is the borough’s oldest still-functionstarted on the Lower East ing bar.

Will Anderson in “The Breweries of legal, not liquid.

Brooklyn” cites William Johnson’s brewery at 49 Front St. in 1822. By 1824, the Terhune brothers had opened Coney Island’s first public house (pub) as the Coney Island House. From there, we get the “Coney Island head” on beer.

The mid-19th century influx of Germans to the Eastern District of Brooklyn —Williamsburg, Bushwick and Greenpoint — altered Brooklyn’s beer history. By the end of the Civil War, over 45 breweries had opened in Brooklyn. Each of them had its own bar and many featured a beer garden. The names remain legendary: Budweiser (1849), no relation to today’s brewery; Federal (1854); Congress (1855); Liebmann’s Sons/Rheingold (1855); Otto Huber (1861); Peter Doelger (1863); Edelbrau (1868); Piel Brothers (1883); and Trommers (1896).
