Bensonhurst Block to Get Tough Love from Sanitation

BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

A

longstanding problem on one of Southwest Brooklyn’s busiest commercial corridors involving trash, illegal parking and catch basins clogged with cooking grease is coming under scrutiny by the city’s Department of Sanitation after a local lawmaker and community officials demanded action.

The block of 86th Street between Bay Parkway and 23rd Avenue has been a mess for a long time, according to Councilmember Mark Treyger, who recently took City Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia on an inspection tour to get a first-hand view of the situation. Community Board 11 District Manager Marnee Elias-Pavia accompanied Treyger and Garcia on the site visit.

Garcia vowed to undertake enforcement measures after seeing what was taking place on the crowded block filled with dozens of stores and sidewalk vendors.

“Keeping all of New York City clean is a top priority at the Sanitation Department, and we are committed in helping maintain this vibrant commercial corridor of south Brooklyn clean for local residents, shoppers, and business owners. To help curb litter and improper trash disposal, we will be stepping up enforcement to ensure regulations are being met,” Garcia said in a statement.

Treyger said the sanitation problems on the block largely stem from

Under city regulations, a store owner is permitted to display merchandise on the sidewalk but the display cannot extend more than three feet beyond the building and cannot be higher than five feet.

At some points along the street, the amount of clutter makes it difficult for a pedestrian to navigate the sidewalk, according to Treyger, who said it’s a particular hardship on senior citizens and residents who are physically disabled.

“Our busiest commercial corridors are the central hubs of our community, and when they are clean

and safe, businesses and consumers benefit. For too many years, this stretch of 86th Street has not met the standard of cleanliness and safety that residents in our community deserve,”

Treyger stated.

In a separate but equally troublesome situation, catch basins on 86th Street are becoming clogged with cooking grease poured through the grates by local

restaurant owners, Treyger charged.

The inspection tour focused on trash and sidewalk obstructions.

Treyger, Garcia and Elias-Pavia brainstormed

to come up with ways to combat the sanitation problems.

One possible solution that was discussed involved instituting a public awareness effort to educate merchants and vendors on their obligation to maintain clean sidewalks.

Sanitation Department officials agreed to a request

by Treyger to institute seven-day-a-week trash collection in commercial zones in his council district, which covers Coney Island and Gravesend and includes parts of Bensonhurst.

“Our busiest commercial corridors are the central hubs of our community, and when they are clean and safe, businesses and consumers benefit,” Treyger stated.

Treyger also asked city officials to look into reports of private sanitation companies sloppily leaving large amounts of trash on commercial streets and sidewalks during overnight pickups.

Water Main Breaks Outside New Utrecht High School

BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

A

95-year-old water pipe in Bensonhurst ruptured on the night of Sept. 5, leaving dozens of local residents without water for several hours, according to city officials, who said the accident took place on the street outside New Utrecht High School at 1601 80th St. The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) was called to the scene and immediately started making repairs.

On the afternoon of Sept. 6, the repairs were still underway. Vehicular traffic was being detoured away from the block.

Water service had been restored to New Utrecht High School but approximately 50 residents living in nearby homes were still without water as of 2 p.m., a DEP spokesperson told this newspaper in an email.

The agency was anticipating “completing repairs and restoring water service to all shortly,” the

Councilmember Justin Brannan, who represents the area, rushed to the scene of the water main break on Wednesday night.

He wrote on Twitter that a construction crew working

on a nearby project might have accidentally ripped the water pipe while digging underground.

The DEP spokesperson confirmed Brannan’s analysis.

The water main dates back to 1923, according to

Brannan, who wrote that an entire section of the pipe had to be removed

by DEP and replaced with newer material.

“Hoping this block will have their water turned back on very soon,” Brannan tweeted.

Heartfelt 9/11 Remembrance Ceremonies Held in Bay Ridge and Marine Park

BY JOHN ALEXANDER JALEXANDER@BROOKLYNEAGLE. COM

C

loudy skies and the threat of rain did not stop hundreds of people from attending two solemn ceremonies that took place on Tuesday, Sept. 11 in Bay Ridge and Marine Park to mark the 17th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center.

State Sen. Marty Golden organized both events as touching tributes to the nearly 3,000 lives lost when

terrorists flew planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and hijacked United Flight 93, before passengers heroically took over the cockpit and crashed the plane into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, preventing the pilot from hitting another target.

The first service took place at Carmine Carro Community Center at 3000 Fillmore Ave. at 6 p.m. in Marine Park, followed by another remembrance service at 7:30 p.m. at the American Veterans Memorial Pier, 69th Street and Shore Road.

William Guarinello, chairperson of Brooklyn Remembers, served as master of ceremonies for the 69th Street Pier ceremony. He presided over the presentation of the colors by the New York City Joint Service Color Guard.

The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Thomas Chin of St.

In addition, two individuals were arrested.

The arrests, the precinct said, were made by its new Neighborhood Coordination Officers (NCOs) as part of a new neighborhood policing system inspired by the old beat cop.

This most recent effort comes just over a year after the arrest of several employees of an allegedly illegal Dyker Heights massage parlor by officers at the 68th Precinct.

Earlier in 2017, separate stings by both precincts led to nearly 50 arrests at 45 massage parlors operating illegally across Southwest Brooklyn.

Solemn Ceremony at Fort Hamilton Commemorates Lives Lost on Sept. 11

BY JOHN ALEXANDER BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE

I

t was a solemn ceremony at Fort Hamilton Army Base in Bay Ridge, in remembrance of the 2,977 lives lost during the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.

On Friday, Sept. 7, Fort Hamilton, the only active-duty military post in New York City, held a stately tribute upon the 17th anniversary of the attacks.

The ceremony took place in front of the flagpole at the Army base community club.

Trevor Loew, chief, Business Recreation Division at U.S. Army, served as master of ceremonies. He welcomed officers and elected officials, including state Sen. Marty Golden, Assemblymember Peter Abbate and City Councilmember Justin Brannan, to the commemoration.

Following the presentation of the colors, Fort Hamilton Garrison Chaplain

The Joint Task Force Empire Shield Honor Guard presented the colors.

Bruce Duty delivered the invocation. “On 9/11 we remember images we wish we had never seen, we remember words we wish we’d never heard, and God, we remember our own feelings of emptiness as our sense of security and our confidence was shaken,” Duty said. “We remember the heroism of those who lost their lives while saving others. We

remember all who suffered and died and their families and friends.”

Fort Hamilton Army Garrison Commander Col. Andrew Zieseniss thanked all guests for attending.

Zieseniss personalized the service by remembering heroic individuals who lost their lives on 9/11.

“Many contend that time heals and this may be true,”

The Joint Task Force Empire Shield Honor Guard presents the colors.

Zieseniss said. “However I can tell you that time does not allow us to forget. That’s why we stand here 17 years later.” He concluded by adding, “Seventeen years ago we all became New Yorkers.”

The keynote speaker for the event was Lieutenant Col. Patricia JonesJohnson, commander of the New York Military Processing Station.

She spoke about how the

events of 9/11 brought about a strong sense of unity across the nation.

“We weren’t Je wish-American, we weren’t Irish-American, we weren’t Italian-American, we weren’t Asian-American, we weren’t African-American, we weren’t Arab-American, we were Americans,” JonesJohnson said.

The w reath laying

ceremony included the parents of Kris Robert Hughes, a young man who lost his life during the attacks.

Robert and Elaine Hughes attended the service in memory of their son.

“Each year we attend an event,” Robert told this paper, “We might go to the trade center or we might go to the Nassau County 9/11 Memorial. Two years ago we came here and we were invited to come back again this year. We’re happy to do it and support the military.”

“Obviously this day has tremendous meaning for a lot of us,” Zieseniss told this paper. “I’m glad that the Hughes family could join us.”

The Joint Task Force Empire Shield Honor Guard presented a 21-gun salute which was followed by Taps by the West Point Quintet.

The ceremony concluded with a benediction and “God Bless America” by the FDNY Bagpipers.

Bay Ridge 9/11 Survivor Recalls Her Escape from WTC

BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

T

he horrific events that unfolded on Sept. 11, 2001 are never far from Bay Ridge resident Vanessa Sierra’s mind as she goes about her daily life.

“It feels like yesterday to me,” she told this newspaper on Monday, the day before the 17th anniversary of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.

Sierra was a 24-year-old employee settling trades for a financial firm called Instinet and was working in her company’s offices on the 13th floor in the North Tower when the terrorist attack took place.

She made it out of the building alive and eventually went on with her life. But she still thinks about that terrible day.

“I don’t let it get in the way. But it’s there,” she said.

Sierra, who is now 41 years old and the mother of a 10-year-old daughter, has been dogged by respiratory problems for the past 17 years that she said can be traced back to the fact that she was at the World Trade Center that day.

She breathed in smoke from the fire and jet fumes from the plane and had to run for her life when the Twin Towers collapsed, releasing toxic dust into the air.

Sierra is seeking health care coverage and compensation from the federal Victims Compensation Fund and has hired lawyer Michael Barasch to represent her. Her case is pending.

The Victims Compensation Fund was established as part of the federal James Zadroga 9-11 Health and Compensation Act. For the past 17 years, Sierra has had to deal with PTSD, breathing problems and a persistent cough that are affecting her life.

“Things are going on with my breathing and I never smoked cigarettes in my life,” she told this newspaper.

She currently works as an executive assistant at another financial firm.

“For 16 years, I just lived with it. But last year, for peace of mind, I decided to get myself checked out,” she said. “I was hoping that everything would be fine. But everything is not fine.”

Still, Sierra said she’s grateful to be alive.

When the first hijacker struck the North Tower, the entire building shook, Sierra recalled. “The building shook so terribly, I dived under my desk,” she said.

She was convinced she was going to die. “It felt like an earthquake or an avalanche. There were co-workers who were knocked out of their seats,” she said. “Smoke was pouring into the office. I felt like we were suffocating.”

She started going down the stairs to try to escape. She got as far as the eighth floor when she hit a logjam of peoPhotos courtesy of Vanessa Sierra ple who were telling each other that there was no way out.

Wall Collapses at Sunset Park Construction Site, Injuring Five Workers and Leaving One Missing

BY JAIME DEJESUS JDEJESUS@BROOKLYNREPORTER. COM

O

ne worker is missing and may be dead after a retaining wall collapsed at a construction site in Sunset Park.

According to authorities, the collapse occurred on Wednesday, September 12 at around 1:33 p.m., at 714

39th Street.

Six construction workers were digging 20 feet into the ground at the site when the wall fell. Five injured workers were rescued and a search began for the remaining worker, who had not yet been located as of this writing.

The FDNY stated via Twitter, “FDNY @NYPDnews @NYC_Buildings Photo via FDNY Twitter

and @nycemergencymgt continue to assess the site at 714 39 St Brooklyn in an effort to operate safely.

The incident is transitioning from a rescue to a recovery.”

“My mother, who lives a block away, walked over and asked what happened,” the daughter of one witness told this paper. “She said they told her that six people

were trapped and put on stretchers. It was a factory.

They were demolishing the building and it’s been a big construction site. She said that it could affect 40th Street as well.”

According to Citizen, witnesses saw a Con Edison vacuum truck respond to the scene to assist with removal of debris.

Drivers have been

warned to avoid the area.

“Due to FDNY activity, expect road closures and the presence of emergency personnel in the area of

39th Street and 7th Avenue in Brooklyn,” read an alert from Notify NYC. “Consider alternate routes and allow for additional travel time.”

Voters to Decide Future of Community Boards

BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

T

he fate of the city’s 59 community boards will be in the hands of voters on Nov. 6.

The New York City Charter Revision Commission officially handed in its report this week containing recommendations on changing the City Charter, including a proposal to impose term limits on community board members.

If the New York City Board of Elections approves, the commission’s proposals will be listed as propositions on the ballot in November.

There are 18 community boards in Brooklyn, all of which would fall under any new provisions of the City Charter.

The commission is recommending that members appointed or re-appointed on or after April 1, 2019, be limited to serving four consecutive two-year terms.

Community board members, who are unpaid, are appointed by the borough presidents with input from city councilmembers and serve two-year terms.

There is currently no limit on the number of years they can serve.

A membership turnover would be healthy for community boards, according to commission members, who pointed out that many boards have members who have been there for 20 years or more.

Under the commission’s proposal, members who are term-limited out of a community board could

re-apply for membership after sitting out one full term.

Commission Chairperson Cesar Perales said the panel thought long and hard before coming up with proposals. The commission held a series of public hearings this summer to gauge public opinion.

“The proposals approved by the commission today will provide the voters with an opportunity to weigh in on changes that would impact several important aspects of civic life,” Perales said in a statement.

The City Charter is akin to a Constitution. It is the document that lays out the structure and function of New York City’s government.

The Perales-led commission was appointed by

Mayor Bill de Blasio and is not to be confused with the Charter Revision Commission established by the City Council earlier this year.

The council’s commission,

which began its work in July, will develop recommendations to present to the public for a vote in November of 2019.

Community boards are

comprised of 50 non-salaried members. Their primary role is to serve as liaisons between residents and city agencies. The boards advise city agencies on land use matters and other issues.

Each board represents a geographic area usually comprised of two or three neighborhoods.

The commission came up with other proposals, including a recommendation to create a Civic Engagement Commission and a series of proposed changes in how political campaigns are financed.

The mayor praised the work done by the commission.

“There’s no doubt in my mind that these measures will help us build a more fair and equitable city,” de Blasio said in a statement.

Sunset Park Celebrates Mexican Independence, Culture During Rainy Parade

BY JAIME DEJESUS JDEJESUS@BROOKLYNREPORTER. COM

T

he rain didn’t dampen the spirits of attendees of the Festival y Desfile de la Independencia de Mexico in Sunset Park.

Held on Sunday, September 9 along Fifth Avenue, the festivities started with a parade from 59th Street to 44th Street.

“We had a really bad, rainy day but that didn’t stop us,” said one of the parade organizers, Claudia Galicia. “We had 300 kids from Sunset Park that were performing in the parade and, rain or shine, they were ready.”

Galicia stressed how important the parade was to the Mexican community; a permit issue had stopped them from holding a Cinco de Mayo celebration.

“It’s been difficult, especially for the Mexican community, because we’ve been a big target of the Trump administration calling us bad hombres and rapists, and that resonated with our kids, with them thinking ‘oh we’re bad,’” she said.

Thanks to the 72nd Precinct, the celebration went on.

“Officer Gerber Fernandez was very instrumental in keeping our spirits up.

We applied for September 9, which is the first weekend when we start the celebration of Mexican Independence Day, and we were able to have a lot of the groups march,” Galicia added.

“The 72nd Precinct was so instrumental in this parade because they know we have a lot of kids that would

like this and they accommodated us and gave us whatever we needed for this parade,” she went on. “We are very thankful. Sunset Park has had a history with police and community, but finally we are healing and coming together. It’s a great thing that culture is what’s bringing us together.”

Unfortunately, due to the rain, the festival — which had been slated to feature

a variety of performances — was cut short.

“We had to end early but we had a lot of dances in the park,” Galicia said. “There was a group of moms called Las Horas who came for the first time. And we had one

was unity.

“Even though we face a lot of issues, as a community as long as we are together and support each other, we will be okay,” Galicia said. “People are afraid.

Alliance for Coney Island Hosts Back-to-School Fair

BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

H

undreds of kids in Coney Island are beginning the school year with brand new backpacks that were donated to them, thanks to the Alliance for Coney Island Inc., which organized a back-to-school fair to get the youngsters off to a good start.

The alliance sponsored a Back-to-School Fair on a five-block stretch of Mermaid Ave. on Sept. 8.

Composed of businesses, non-profit groups and community leaders, the alliance is a public-private partnership that works to improve the quality of life for Coney Island residents.

The alliance receives support from Borough President Eric Adams and the New York City Economic Development Corporation to operate its various community improvement programs.

On Saturday, the alliance handed out 500 backpacks to children attending the fair with their parents. The kids got an added bonus.

The backpacks were filled with school supplies.

Councilmember Mark Treyger, a Democrat who represents Coney Island, helped organize the fair, along with the New York City Department of Transportation’s Weekend Walks program.

Alliance Executive Director Alexandra Silversmith said the fair had

a double purpose: to help ensure that local children had what they needed for school, and to promote Mermaid Avenue as a great place to shop.

“We are proud to partner with our local elected officials and local businesses to give back to the community and provide essential school supplies to students while also creating a celebratory day on Mermaid Avenue, the main commercial corridor for our residents and businesses,” Silversmith said in a statement.

In addition to the distribution of backpacks and school supplies, the fair also featured performances by dance groups, musicians, Zumba lessons, salsa demonstrations, face painting, art displays, free health screenings and information on job readiness programs, education opportunities and afterschool programs, according to organizers.

Johnny Saavedra climbs the rock wall.

“What better way to celebrate the start of a new school year than by bringing the community together for a day of free, fun activities, helpful resources and free school supply giveaways,” said Treyger, who serves as chairperson of the City Council’s Committee on Education.

“In today’s difficult economic times, many parents struggle just to make ends meet. Today’s event will hopefully help to alleviate the high-cost of supplies and send children to school with some of the items they need for a successful year,” Democratic state Sen. Diane Savino said in a statement.

Savino and another Coney Island lawmaker, U.S. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries,

helped organize the fair.

“As students prepare to return to the classroom, parents are busy making sure their children have everything they need to succeed this school year.

By putting everything from health screenings to backpack donations in one place, the community fair makes it easier for busy families to get their kids ready for school, all while putting a smile on everyone’s faces,” Jeffries stated.

Eddie Mark, district manager of Community Board 13, was impressed with the fair, calling it a successful day.

“Letting children be children before going back to school at a local community event is a wonderful thing,” he said in a statement.

Local Pol: Four Years Too Long to Air Condition City Schools

BY JOHN ALEXANDER JALEXANDER@ BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

I

n April, 2017, de Blasio and the City Council announced a five-year, $28 million plan to install air conditioning in all classrooms by 2022.

However, with some schools in New York being forced to implement early dismissal on the first day of classes due to high temperatures, suddenly the matter is ta king on added significance.

The thermometer hit 90 degrees on Wednesday, Sept. 5, as students entered their new classrooms for the first time. Thursday wasn’t much better with the temperature rising to 85 degrees.

The announced time frame does not sit well with state Sen. Marty Golden who believes the project should be completed much sooner.

Holy Angels Academy Students Tie Ribbons for 9/11 Victims

BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

S

tudents at a Bay Ridge Catholic school are far too young to remember the Sept. 11 terrorist attack that took place 17 years ago, long before they were born.

But they are aware of the significance of that tragic day in U.S. history, according to their principal, who led the youngsters in a commemoration of the event Tuesday morning, Sept. 11.

“Sept. 11 is part of our curriculum. Our teachers talk to the children in each of our classes about what happened,” Rosemarie McGoldrick, principal of Holy Angels Catholic Academy, told this newspaper as she stood in the school’s courtyard and watched approvingly as youngsters tied red, white and blue ribbons to a fence.

Next to the fence where the children were carefully affixing their ribbons stood a permanent memorial to Sept. 11, a small section of a steel beam from the Twin Towers.

The beam was brought

to the courtyard several years ago by the Rev. James Devlin, who was the pastor of Our Lady of Angels Catholic Church at the time. Holy Angels Catholic Academy has close ties to the church, which is located next door to the school.

Holy Angels Academy is located at 337 74th St. The presence of the steel beam serves as a daily reminder to the students and to Our Lady of Angels parishioners of the sacrifices made on Sept. 11, 2001.

Seventeen parishioners of Our Lady of Angels were killed in the World Trade Center that day.

A plaque listing the names of the local victims is attached to the fence behind the steel beam.

Teachers and students alike took part in the ribbon tying tribute on the anniversary of Sept. 11.

Lake and James Riches, as well as a police officer, Moira Smith.

The list also contains civilians who either worked in the World Trade Center or were there that day by chance.

Barbara Habib, a senior vice president at Marsh & McLennan, worked in her company’s midtown Manhattan office but was in the firm’s office in the North Tower for a

conference when the building was struck by a hijacked jetliner.

On Tuesday, Holy Angels Academy had a wreath placed in front of the steel beam.

Russell Berry, the school’s social studies teacher, planned the ribbon-tying tribute and directed the children, who went up to the fence once class at a time.

The memorial service started with the Rev. Jason

Espinal, the parochial vicar of Our Lady of Angels Church, leading the students and teachers in prayer.

“We pray for the families of the victims. We pray for our nation,” he said.

State Sen. Marty Golden, who was an altar boy at Our Lady of Angels Church when he was growing up in Bay Ridge, attended the ceremony and talked to the students about the importance of remembering Sept.

11 as the years go by and the date recedes into the distant past.

At some point in the next few decades, Golden said, the students standing in the school courtyard will be the civic, business and political leaders, and will be bearing the responsibility of maintaining the country’s focus on Sept. 11.

“It’s important that we never, ever forget. You are the future who will be leading this great nation. Never let these incidents happen again in our future,” Golden told the children.

The ceremony ended with Espinal leading everyone in the singing of “God Bless America.”

The Atomic Cafe

Though the topic of atomic holocaust is a grave matter, The Atomic Cafe approaches it with black humor. Much of the humor derives from the modern audience's reaction to the old training films, such as the Duck and Cover film shown in schools. A quote to illustrate what can be perceived as black humor, culled from the movie: "Viewed from a safe distance, the atomic bomb is one of the most beautiful sights ever seen by man," a U.S. Army training film declares.

Wikipedia This film recounts a defining period of 20th century history and serves as a chilling and often hilarious reminder of cold-war era paranoia in the United States--artfully presented through a collage of newsreel footage, government archive, military training films, and fifties music.

QUIETER PLACES

Marshall LaCount’s Quieter Places paintings are a collective approach to places quieter than the city; quieter than a mind treading in traumas; quieter than political despondency. These Quieter Places are beyond certain borders. They are elsewhere, for they are not places, they are images. In this case, they are images constructed by aching hands and sore arms which have managed to pull away from other work, made in less quiet places. Plaster is shaped alongside acrylic paint, wallboard, spray paint. Graffiti and the constant buffing of graffiti get a nod. The works are playful: primary colors occupy measured spaces in largely white fields of textured plaster. This

MARY MATTINGLY: WHAT HAPPENS AFTER

BRIC has commissioned activist artist Mary Mattingly to create a major new work, one that examines the connection between mineral mining and the massive military industrial complex; and its profound effects on the environment, individuals, and communities. With an expanding military economy and slow erosion of public services, this exhibition poses the question of what happens when our public spaces become more militarized. A creatively transformed 19,000 pound military cargo truck at the center of the exhibition acts to turn the conversation outward toward reimagining a public life together through the use of objects with violent histories.

GREENWOOD HEIGHTS The neighborhood name Greenwood Heights is sometimes considered a real-estate stunt but the title was actually referred to in an 1846 Brooklyn Eagle article about a new ferry from Manhattan to the area. The article lists perks of the route including “facilities for communication with the groves of Greenwood Heights, and the lovely bay of Gowanus.”

From the 19th century through the middle 20th century, the area’s economy was dominated by the working Brooklyn waterfront but the neighborhood is best known for its namesake, Green-Wood Cemetery.

The 478-acre space was commissioned in 1838 as a retreat where visitors could respect the dead and appreciate nature. Until Prospect Park was completed in 1873, the cemetery was mostly used by Brooklynites as a recreational space and as the harbor became increasingly popular, a daily stage coach shuttled visitors from the ferries to Green-Wood.

Its success as a tourist attraction fueled a competition to design a public park for New York City. The winning design for “Greensward,” submitted by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux formed the basis for Central Park.

Buried among Green-Wood Cemetery’s half-million graves are William Marcy (Boss) Tweed, De Witt Clinton, Lola Montez, Peter Cooper, Henry Ward Beecher, Nathaniel Currier, James Ives, Margaret Sanger and Leonard Bernstein.

Come Stroll Fifth Avenue in Bay Ridge

By Lore Croghan

INBrooklyn From convent to condos. Now that’s a study in contrasts.

At the very end of Brooklyn’s Fifth Avenue, a brand-new apartment building stands on a site where nuns lived.

Even if you’re too young to remember there was a convent at 401 95th St. before the Arcadia Bay Ridge condos were constructed, you’ll see another big contrast when you walk down the avenue.

The glass-clad condo building is right across the street from St. Patrick’s, a yellow-brick 1920s church with a bell tower and a rose window.

The Bay Ridge span of Fifth Avenue is a great place for a stroll.

The logical way to take this walk is by starting at the car dealerships on the corner of 65th Street and heading south. Along the way, there’s a fascinating mix of Middle-Eastern restaurants and shops, businesses with longevity like Mike’s Donuts and the cutest canine mural ever.

Before we show you interesting sights on our north-to-south Bay Ridge trek, we first want to spotlight the avenue’s very last block, where seven-story condo building 401 95th St. is located.

Condo sponsor J&J Property & Management Group LLC bought the former convent site from St. Patrick’s for $3 million in 2009, city Finance Department records show.

According to a posting on website We3.com, in February the state Attorney General accepted a condo offering plan for Arcadia Bay Ridge filed by attorney Jodi B. Zimmerman of Ficara & Associates PC. There are 22 residential units, one commercial unit and 13 parking spaces.

The Attorney General’s real estate finance database says the expected total sellout price is $23.637 million. The sponsor’s principals are Tak Kwong Cheung, Hing Ying Cheung, Tin Tak Cheng and Po Yung Cheng.

When we checked StreetEasy.com’s posting about Arcadia Bay Ridge after our stroll, asking prices for available condos ranged from $918,000 for a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment to $525,000 for a one-bedroom, one-bathroom unit.

A Pre-Civil War Parish for Catholic Soldiers

BAY RIDGE Straddled by the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway and boosted over New York harbor, Bay Ridge’s history highlights how developments in transportation have reshaped Brooklyn as a whole.

The Dutch West Indian Company bought the land that is now Bay Ridge from the Nyack Indians in 1652. Named Yellow Hook or Yellow Ridge for the color of the clay found there, the community pushed to rename it Bay Ridge after the yellow-fever epidemic of 1848 and1849 tainted its original name.

Wealthy businessmen and industrialists visited the area as a summer retreat, building mansions on the Bay Ridge bluffs that can still be seen today.

The neighborhood was transformed after power broker Robert Moses pushed construction of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, in opposition to ridge residents, 8,000 of whom were displaced for construction.

The bridge has since become a neighborhood icon for the widely diverse population. See page 18INB. —Norm Goldstein

Because of the way Bay Ridge’s street grid is laid out, Fourth and Fifth avenues form a V at 95th Street and Fifth Avenue disappears. Fourth Avenue continues south to the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.

Because of this set-up, the Roman Catholic Church of St. Patrick has a Fourth Avenue address although it’s directly across 95th Street from Arcadia Bay Ridge on Fifth Avenue.

St. Patrick’s has a storied history. It was first established as a mission in the 1840s. Back then, St. Patrick’s served as the parish for Catholic soldiers at Fort Hamilton.

The church building that preceded the present-day one was built in the early 1850s. Fort Hamilton soldiers’ donations of one dollar per week helped to pay for its construction.

A Remedy for Bald Tires and a Billiard Hall

Now let’s circle back to the northern end of Bay Ridge and take this stroll. The first spot that will catch your eye is 67 Street Tire Shop, which is in a storefront at 6702 Fifth Ave. There’s always a display of tires outside on the sidewalk.

Eye on FIFTH

AVENUE

Sunset Park/Greenwood Heights/Bay Ridge

ABOVE: At day’s end, folks head to hilltop Sunset Park for some fresh air.

By Lore Croghan

INBrooklyn The most dazzling sight on Fifth Avenue in Greenwood Heights and Sunset Park is a graveyard’s gateway.

This isn’t just any graveyard. It’s Green-Wood Cemetery, which has been a major visitor magnet pretty much since its 1838 founding.

In the 19th century, New Yorkers took carriage rides, picnicked and partied in the hilly 478-acre burial ground. Though the setting around it has become urban, it still looks bucolic today.

The brownstone gates — which the city landmarked in 1966 — are located at Green-Wood’s main entrance on Fifth Avenue at 25th Street in Greenwood Heights.

INBrooklyn photo by Lore Croghan

john designed these Gothic Revival-style arches in 1861. You’ll see them as you head south along Fifth Avenue, which is lined with mixed-use rowhouses a century old or more. Mingled in among them are financial institutions, religious buildings — and a popular hilltop recreation area that, like the neighborhood, is named Sunset Park.

The park extends along Fifth Avenue from 41st to 44th streets.

The Jackie Gleason Depot

How Sweet It Is! Eleven blocks away from Green-Wood Cemetery’s gates, the first building you’ll find in Sunset Park is the Jackie Gleason Depot.

It’s a 919,000-square-foot NYC Transit System building.

In 1988, the MTA named it after the late comedian. He played Brooklyn bus driver Ralph Kramden in the 1950s CBSTV series “The Honeymooners.” The depot is located at 847 Architects Richard Upjohn and his son Richard Michell Up- Fifth Ave. on the corner of 36th Street.

At 889 Fifth Ave. on the northeast corner of 39th Street, a curved turret is a nice touch. The building houses the Sunset Park Diner.

One of Sunset Park’s grandest Fifth Avenue buildings is the former Ah, the view.

Bay Ridge Savings Bank, which is made of limestone and has Ionic From atop a hill in Sunset Park, there are marvelous vista of the harbor, the Vercolumns flanking its front door and razano Narrows Bridge and the Manhattan skyline -- and the setting sun. high arched windows.

The Classical Revival-style bank This is the park, built in the 1890s, that gave its name to its surrounding neighborat 5323 Fifth Ave. on the corner of hood on Gowanus Bay in the west of Brooklyn, originally home to indigenous Indians 54th Street was constructed in 1926. It now houses a JPMorgan Chase who farmed the area before the Europeans came in the 1600s. Then the Dutch found branch.

SUNSET PARK

the fertile soil and the waterways to their liking, acquired the land from the Canarsies and began farming along the waterfront.

It became more of an urban community after Brooklyn was made a city in 1834 and developed further with the building of horse car lines and factories in the area.

The neighborhood grew dramatically after Irving T. Bush bought oceanfront property and built Bush Terminal in 1895, a complex of piers, warehouses and factory lofts that created Brooklyn as a major port for shipping and made Sunset Park into a busy waterfront area. Later, the Brooklyn Army Terminal was constructed (1919) as a military ocean supply depot that operated through World War II. But the building of the Gowanus Expressway, completed in 1941, virtually cut the neighborhood off from the waterfront and workers began leaving, changing the nature of Sunset Park once again.

Indeed, Sunset Park is a prime example of how Brooklyn neighborhoods change ethnically as well as geographically. It was settled by the Irish escaping the potato famine at home around 1845. Then Scandinavians settled in sections that became known as Finntown and Little Norway. Hispanics came to the neighborhood too. And now it is primarily known as the home of Brooklyn’s Chinatown.

The neighborhood has Greenwood Heights to its north, Borough Park on the east, Bay Ridge to the south, and the Upper New York Bay to the west.

—Norm Goldstein

The Immigrants’ Basilica Another dramatic Sunset Park property is 5424 Fifth Ave., which houses a clothing store called George Michael Suit Outlet.

It’s at the intersection of 55th Street. As corner buildings with turrets go, this one’s especially charming. It’s topped by a pointy roof shaped like a witch’s hat.

According to a Historic Districts Council posting, J.H. Nadigan designed the Queen Anne-style brick building, which was constructed in 1897.

On the south end of Fifth Avenue in Sunset Park, there’s another dazzling sight — the Basilica of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. The granite Romanesque Revival church is located at 526 59th St. The property extends along Fifth Avenue to the corner of 60th Street.

The basilica’s construction began in 1907. It was designed by Swissborn Franz Joseph Untersee, who settled in the Boston area and specialized in ecclesiastic architecture.

Eye on FIFTH Come Stroll Fifth Avenue in Bay Ridge Continued from page 16INB When we’re not distracted by bakeries like Jean Danet at 7526 Fifth Ave. or Leske’s at 7612 Fifth Ave., there’s an array of oldfashioned, mixed-use buildings to see.

AVENUE

• A handsome building at 6752 Fifth Ave. on the corner of 68th Street was sold for $2 million last November, Finance Department records show.

• There’s a “For Sale” sign on a distinctive building on the corner of Ovington Avenue whose address is 6929 Fifth Ave. The asking price for the oldfashioned house with a groundfloor cafe and two recently gut-renovated apartments is $3.2 million, a posting by Ben Bay Realty listing agent Lucy

BAY RIDGE: HOW IT GOT ITS NAME

By Norm Goldstein When Henry Hudson stood on the deck of the “Half Moon” (Halve Moen in Dutch) as he sailed into the harbor more than 400 years ago, he saw Staten Island to his left, and on his right, on top of a ridge on the Brooklyn shore, land that appeared to be in the shape of an owl’s head.

Today, the spacious Owl’s Head Park occupies that land above Shore Road in the neighborhood called Bay Ridge in Brooklyn’s southwest. The bay, of course, is what they called the harbor in those early days. The ridge is from the elevation left by the remnants of the last ice age, millions of years ago.

The water across to Staten Island now has been spanned by the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, named for the Italian Giovanni da Verrazzano who sailed the route in 1524 on his voyage of discovery.

The bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the world when it was completed in 1964.

Bay Ridge was originally part of the town of New Utrecht and was known as Yellow Hoek, named by its Dutch settlers for the yellowish clay soil they found there. The Dutch West India Company had bought the land from the local Nyack Indians. But after an outbreak of yellow fever in the mid-19th century, the name was changed to Bay Ridge for its proximity to New York Bay and its glacial ridge, now Ridge Boulevard.

Henry C. Murphy, a mayor of the City of Brooklyn, a New York State senator and founder and editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, built his estate along that ridge.

The area originally attracted the wealthier residents, but after the 4th Ave. subway line (the R-train) was extended in 1915, it lured many Manhattan workers and it became more of a middleclass neighborhood.

South of 86th St. is the section called Fort Hamilton, named for the military base that occupies the southernmost portion of Bay Ridge. The fort was originally called the Narrows, when it was completed in 1831, but later was renamed in honor of Alexander Hamilton. Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson and Abner Doubleday were at some time stationed at Fort Hamilton.

ABOVE: This is the busy corner at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Bay Ridge Avenue.

Badwan says.

According to Finance Department records, when 6929 Fifth Ave. last changed hands in 2016, the price paid for it was $2.6 million.

• Right next door, another distinctive building is also for sale.

The asking price is $7.5 million for Hall of Fame Billiards at 505 Ovington Ave., a marketing flyer posted by CPEX Real Estate’s Timothy King and Dimitri Venekas says. The building is 19,000 square feet in size and there are about 8,000 square feet of air rights.

And They Called It Puppy Love

Our favorite commercial signage in Bay Ridge says “Oasis Vision Center” and is painted, along with evocative palm trees, on the side of the building at 7411 Fifth Ave. You can see the classic signage if you stand on the corner of Bay Ridge Parkway and turn and face north.

That old Paul Anka song, “Puppy Love,” will come into your head when you get to 91st Street.

As you walk south on the west side of Fifth Avenue, you’ll come face to face with larger-than-life canines on a mural. It’s painted on the side wall of Fifth Avenue Veterinary Hospital, whose address is 9102 Fifth Ave.

ABOVE: The exterior of 5424 Fifth Ave. isn’t in perfect shape but it’s such a beautiful building.

SUNSET PARK: HOW IT GOT ITS NAME Dutch settlers acquired portions of Sunset Park from the Canarsee Indians in the 1640s and began farming along the waterfront.

Irish immigrants became the first wave of new settlers to the area in the 1840s when they were fleeing the potato famine. They were joined by Polish, Norwegian and Finnish immigrants in the late 1800s when nearly all of the neighborhood’s residential construction occurred.

Sunset Park was changed forever when Irving T. Bush purchased oceanfront property and opened Bush Terminal, nicknamed “Bush’s Folly” because few thought it could compete with Manhattan’s ports.

Bush’s initial warehouse, single pier, tugboat and old railroad engine paved the way for what became the largely successful 200-acre complex of piers, warehouses, display rooms and factory lofts.

Italian dock workers settled in the area for the ample work from the terminal that expanded in 1902.

The neighborhood eventually declined by the 1930s and into the 1940s though, when the Third Avenue elevated line halted during

the Depression and the Gowanus Expressway split the area’s industrial section from its residential.

After World War II, many older residents moved to the suburbs and their homes were filled with Puerto Rican immigrants eager to work but corruption in the Federal Housing Administration and real-estate and banking industries led to abandonment of homes. In addition, much of the maritime industry began moving to New Jersey at the time.

Bush Terminal was renamed Industry City in the 1960s in a revitalization attempt. Then in 1969, the Lutheran Medical Center purchased an abandoned factory from the city for one dollar and spent more than $70 million renovating the property for a center that helped local nonprofit organizations renovate 500 housing units.

Sunset Park’s rebound was evident in the 1980s and 1990s when more immigrants from Latin America and Asia moved into the neighborhood.

Commercial revival increased when the Brooklyn Army Terminal, which was deactivated in the 1970s, was reopened in 1987 for light industry and bodegas, restaurants and retail stores opened up along the neighborhood blocks.

Former FDNY Chief John Nasta Celebrates 100th Birthday

BY JOHN ALEXANDER JALEXANDER@BROOKLYNEAGLE. COM

O

ne day after the FDNY mourned the loss of its fallen brothers during the 9/11 attacks, members had a reason to celebrate. One of their own, former FDNY Chief John Nasta, celebrated his 100th birthday on Wednesday, Sept. 12 at Sofia Restaurant in Bay Ridge, surrounded by family, friends and members of the FDNY. The smiling Brooklynborn-and-raised centenarian spent 34 years with the FDNY and retired at the rank of battalion chief of FDNY Battalion 40 at Fourth Avenue and 51st Street in Brooklyn. At the time, he was the longest serving fire officer in FDNY history.

Nasta started his career with the FDNY in 1942, but after six months he was called to serve in the Navy during World War II. Because he had some training in the Fire Department, he was put in charge of training thousands of Navy recruits in fire safety while stationed in San Diego, before being

When the war ended he returned home to Brooklyn and began his 34-year career in the FDNY.

Nasta’s beloved wife Alice died in 2005. But with the support of his sister Gloria, nieces, nephews and close friends, he still maintains

an active lifestyle.

“He goes out to the restaurant every day,” close friend Patricia McLaughlin Hite told this paper. “His normal

meal is linguini and clam sauce and he loves salmon.

And he always has a glass of red wine. He also loves his Italian cheesecake, espresso

coffee and once a week he’ll always have his favorite hamburger.”

Additionally, Hite said that Nasta enjoys easy-listening and classical music and reads The New York Times every day. And it appears that longevity runs in the family. His sister Gloria Ward, who was by his side to celebrate his birthday, is 91 years young.

After a rousing rendition of “Happy Birthday,” Nasta received a lifetime achievement recognition award from the FDNY commissioner’s office.

Paul Mannix of the Uniformed Fire Officers Association (UFOA), presented Nasta with a plaque on behalf of the UFOA. “We’re very happy that after the sad and solemn ceremonies yesterday we are able to celebrate a life today, especially a life that has reached 100 years,” Mannix said. “Not only is he a member of the FDNY but he is a member of the greatest generation.”

When asked what he attributed his own longevity to, Nasta looked up, smiled and held up his glass of red wine.

Bishop Provenzano of Episcopal Diocese Dedicates Newly Built St. Stephen-St. Martin Church

New Building is Designed For Many Functions And to be a Beacon for The Neighborhood

By Francesca Norsen Tate, Religion Editor INBrooklyn

Joy and fanfare filled the streets of Bedford-Stuyvesant on Saturday and the rain held off until after the procession as the congregation of St. Stephen-St. Martin Episcopal Church in Bedford-Stuyvesant, complete with marching band, officially moved from another congregation hosting them to their own brandnew home.

Varick A.M.E. Zion Church on Quincy Street had hosted the St. Stephen-St. Martin parish for several years while its church was being constructed. The old St. Stephen’s Church had stood at the corner of Patchen and Jefferson avenues for 147 years before it was demolished, in a condition beyond repair. The procession headed from Quincy Street to the new site, about six blocks away. Leading them was the Elite Marching Band of Queens.

The new church, which is the brainchild of architect Shaneekua Henry and her husband Andrew, is described as “a beacon of the message of a resurrected church who meets us at all the intersections of our lives,” according to a brochure.

It is also the first Episcopal church building to be constructed during the bishopric of the Rt. Rev. Lawrence Provenzano, bishop of the Diocese of Long Island.

While other women clergy were pioneers in becoming the first Episcopal clergy and bishops, Henry is the first African-American woman to design a church in the diocese.

The project was developed in partnership with Pericles Notias of Notias Construction of Flushing, N.Y. Henry is a partner in the African-American owned SLM Architecture.

The Rev. Canon Audley Donaldson, rector of St. Stephen-St. Martin Church, said, “It is significant that parishioners decided to rebuild the church in Bedford-Stuyvesant, where it has served as a beacon of hope, and succeeded in rebuilding during a difficult economic climate.

It is a remarkable achievement by the entire parish.” During the consecration service, Donaldson publicly thanked and honored several staff and parishioners.

“This historic service will celebrate this

Their dedication serves as an inspiration to us all as we anticipate a bright future in this exciting and demographically diverse community,” said Provenzano.

The new St. Stephen and St. Martin’s Episcopal Church building, located at 789 Jefferson Ave., has a modern theatrical lighting and sound system to enhance the worship experience. A columbarium and garden and a cry room were built into the structure.

The purpose of a cry room is a safe-space for worshipers who may find themselves weeping during the liturgy. In many churches, tears are an integral part of healing and restoration.

The entire church is “built and consecrated as a multi-functional, multi-cultural, multi-generational sacred space.” Members of the parish are charged to “be in tune with what ails and troubles those on the outside.” The parish’s mission is to minister to the wider community as well.

Coalition of Synagogues Sponsors Annual Intro to Judaism Course

Clergy from around the Episcopal diocese and members of the Lions Club join the procession from Varick A.M.E. Zion Church, which has hosted the congregation during the construction of its new building. The procession headed up Patchen Avenue to Jefferson Avenue, the site of the new church.

Each year, the synagogues around Brooklyn participate in the Introduction to Judaism Course taught by Rabbi Sue Oren.

The 20-session course is designed as an exploration for curious adults to discover Judaism from an adult perspective, to become more confident parents of Jewish children and to explore longstanding questions they haven’t yet asked.

NightShul at East Midwood Jewish Center will incorporate the Introduction to Judaism course into its regular seasonal offerings. A weekly class is offered in two sections from 7:30-9:30 p.m. on Wednesdays.

The course will also be offered on Sun-

days at the Park Slope Jewish Center.

The first session for all participants will take place at East Midwood Jewish Center on Wednesday, Oct. 10. Advance registration is required.

For more information, registration and course fee contact Oren at introclass@earthlink.net or 917-539-1334.

Course co-sponsors include Beloved, Brooklyn Heights Synagogue, B’ShERT (Beth Shalom v’Emeth Reform Temple), Congregation Mount Sinai, East Midwood Jewish Center, Flatbush Jewish Center, Kane Street Synagogue, Kolot Chayeinu/ Voices of Our Lives, Park Slope Jewish Center and Union Temple.

The question is whether the public will, or if it will just displace lots of people and businesses who had no need of the streetcar to begin with.”

Some Sunset Park residents are glad that their neighborhood is being left out.

“I believe it is not because of public response, although that would be nice to believe,” said Tony Giordano, the founder of Sunset Parker Facebook page. “I think it was doomed from the start for two technical reasons - the first the drawbridge over the Gowanus. I think this was the fatal flaw. The second was the narrowing of the commuter vehicle route along Third Avenue [that would have resulted from the streetcar being routed along the strip].

Big ups to POWWA coalition members and to our organizers that are out when it’s hot, when it cold, when it’s raining.” POWWA is the Protect Our Working Waterfront Alliance.

The city hopes to generate $30 billion in economic impact from the project, with around $1.4 billion in value capture (which Wikipedia defines as “public financing that recovers some or all of the value that public infrastructure generates for private landowners”) to help finance its construction.

This Week in History ON SEPT. 12, 1947, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported, “St. Louis, Sept. 12 (U.P.) – The Sporting News, national baseball weekly, today named Jackie Robinson, Negro first baseman of the Brooklyn Dodgers, as its choice for ‘Rookie of the Year.’ Publisher J.G. Taylor Spink, author of the story, Jackie Robinson emphasized that Robinson’s Photos courtesy of Wikimedia Commons selection was based solely on his ability as a hitter, runner, fielder and team man. ‘The sociological experiment that Robinson represented,’ Spink wrote, ‘the trail-blazing that he did, the barriers he broke down, do not enter into the decision … Jackie Robinson has done it all in his first year as a major leaguer. What more could anyone ask?”  ON SEPT. 12, 1953, the Eagle reported, “Newport, R.I., Sept. 12 (U.P.) – Senator John F. Kennedy (D., Mass.), once one of the nation’s most eligible bachelors, takes an heiress as his bride here today. Kennedy, son of former Ambassador to Great Britain Joseph P. Kennedy, will John and Jackie Kennedy on wed Jacqueline Lee Bou- their wedding day.

Cushing of Boston will officiate at the wedding, which caps the social season in this fashionable summer resort. Miss Bouvier, a descendant of prominent Washington and New York banking families, met the tousle-haired Kennedy while working as an inquiring reporter for the Washington-Times Herald. She is 24 and he is 36. Twenty-six attendants will participate in the wedding ceremony, which will be followed by a reception at Miss Bouvier’s Hammersmith Farm home, where she was presented to society in August, 1947.” 

ON SEPT. 13, 1953, the Eagle reported, “Brooklynites took with calm joy last night the second straight winning of the National League pennant by the Dodgers. Although eyes and ears were ‘glued’ to television or radio throughout the borough until the ball plopped into Gil Hodges’ mitt at first base for the final putout of the 5-to-2 victory over the Braves at Milwaukee, Dodger fans settled for some whoops and hugs … Meanwhile, Borough President [John] Cashmore, in a wire to Walter F. O’Malley, the Dodger prexy, at Milwaukee Stadium, outlined plans for a gigantic ‘Brooklyn Dodger Day,” Sept. 22, just before the season’s home windup game at Ebbets Field with the Pittsburgh Pirates. There will be a big procession from Ebbets Field to Borough Hall, where the red welcome carpet will be rolled out.”

ON SEPT. 14, 1901, the Eagle reported, “Buffalo, N.Y., September 14 – President [William] McKinley died at 15 minutes after 2 o’clock this morning … The last hours of the dying President were deeply touching. In his moments of consciousness he realized his approaching end … While the cabinet officers were in the room, the President was unconscious and thought to be dying. He was rallied to consciousness shortly thereafter and almost the first word was a request that his wife be brought to his side … The parting between this devoted pair was an unwitnessed tragedy. The doctors slipped back into the shadows of the darkened room and hid their faces. Even they, used as they are to distressing scenes, could not keep back the tears. They only saw the President’s face brightening with a smile as he fully clasped his wife’s hand.”  ON SEPT. 14, 1948, the Eagle reported, “Portland, Me., Sept. 14 (U.P.) – Representative Margaret Chase Smith’s smashing majority in winning the first full Senate term ever voted a woman Republican was hailed by G.O.P. leader today as the forerunner of a Dewey-Warren landslide in November. The 49-year-old Mrs. Smith, a one-time telephone operator serving her fifth term in Congress, easily defeated Dr. Adrian H. Margaret Chase Smith Scolten, Democrat, of Portland, yesterday in the nation’s first state election of this presidential year … Mrs. Smith received personal congratulations from Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York in a telephone conversation at her Skowhegan home.” 

Coney Island Hosts 11th Annual Beard and Moustache Competition

BY JOHN ALEXANDER JALEXANDER@BROOKLYNEAGLE. COM

I

t was literally a hairy situation this past Saturday, Sept. 8 as hundreds gathered in Coney Island for the 11th annual beard and mustache competition.

Dozens of follically gifted men and women showed off their unique facial hair while competing to win prizes for their incredible achievements.

“This is my third year participating in this event,” said actress Allison Hope.

“I was born and raised in Brooklyn. I have some rich roots in Coney Island. My great uncle was a barker on the Boardwalk during

Contestants showed off lovingly cultivated beards and mustaches during the 11th annual beard and mustache competition in Coney Island.

competition,” Kloss told this paper. “I’ve been growing my beard for three years and it’s probably about 16 or 17 inches from my bottom the early part of the 19th century.”

Hope explained how she first came to the event three years ago when friends of hers were competing in it.

“They said there was a fake beard competition so I made a homemade beard with wool and I put lights in it,” she recalled. “And this year I’m wearing fake hair.”

The contest was presented by Coney Island USA and co-hosted by Adam

RealMan, Handsome Dick Manitoba and a panel of hirsute celebrity judges who voted on the best whiskers in a number of categories.

Winners were awarded with the coveted Coney Island Fez and other prizes.

Andrew Kloss took first place in the natural beard category. Although Kloss has lived in New Jersey for 33 years, this was his first time in New York.

“I just came for this beard

lip.”

He also offered some useful tips for maintaining his whimsical whiskers.

“I treat it like you would

head hair. I just use Head and Shoulders and then I use some conditioner and beard oil.”

Christian Fattorusso came in full costume as a western saloon b a r t e n d e r, with his infant son dressed up as an outlaw.

“This is my fourth year participating,” Fattorusso said. “I like to wear costumes when I participate and that’s what I’m known for. My baby was part of my costume. I wanted him to be a part of something I love to do.”

First place in the best styled moustache category went to dapper Steve Brooks, dressed as a southern gentleman. Another notable contestant, Eddie Kimmerling, rocked a mustache that took him years to grow and would have made Salvador Dali jealous.

So for those so inclined, it’s never too soon to start sculpting, styling and grooming for next year’s beard and mustache contest.

Coney Island Mardi Gras to be Reborn

M

argarita Island is bringing back a piece of history, via the first annual Margarita Mardi Gras in Coney Island.

Most people are familiar with the Mardi Gras in New Orleans, which celebrates the start of a religious celebration, but many do not know of Coney Island’s own Mardi Gras, a week long celebration created in 1903 as a charitable event to raise money for a shelter that had burnt down earlier that year.

The event’s success allowed it to continue each September for over five decades, bringing thousands of people to Coney Island annually. Unfortunately, due to economic factors, revenues plummeted, causing Mardi Gras to come to an end in 1954.

Coney Island, 1908.

September 14 through 16, Margarita Island plans to bring back some of the seaside neighborhood’s old traditions including extravagant costumes,

contests, prizes and entertainment from the Coney Island Film Festival.

A percentage of all proceeds will be donated to the American Heart

Association as a tribute to the event’s charitable start.

Assemblymember Felix Ortiz Concludes Another Successful Summer Internship Program

BY JAIME DEJESUS JDEJESUS@BROOKLYNREPORTER. COM

G

iving students invaluable experience.

On Thursday, August 16, Assemblymember Felix Ortiz gathered with the students that participated in his annual summer internship program.

Each summer, Ortiz’s office welcomes high school and college students, many from Sunset Park, to learn about the legislative process through hands-on experience.

“I’ve been doing the summer intern program since

1995 when I first got elected,” Ortiz told this paper.

“I believe that every single one of us elected to office should give an opportunity to our youth and empower them. For me, this is a great opportunity to have a very diverse group of kids who go to our high schools and some in college that went to public school in our district. It’s great to see them doing well. I hope this will give them a love for government and public service, and an understanding of the responsibilities and the duties of elected officials, and the caring and passion that we need to

VERA INSTITUTE OF JUSTICE LEAVES MANHATTAN FOR SUNSET PARK’S INDUSTRY CITY

BY JAIME DEJESUS JDEJESUS@ BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM

T

he Vera Institute of Justice announced on Monday, September 10 it will be relocating from the Woolworth Building to Industry City next year.

Vera, a not-for-profit organization founded in 1961 and focused on justice reform, signed a 15-year lease to move into a 35,000-square-foot office space at the Sunset Park waterfront in fall, 2019. The lease was signed in August.

“The move to Industry City makes perfect sense for Vera. More so than ever before, our task is to drive significant reform of our justice system, injecting innovation and big ideas. Industry City – and Brooklyn – is dynamic, diverse and a central hub for innovation and invention. It is a great place for us to call home. We will have room to grow, and will be closer to many of the communities we serve locally,” said Nicholas Turner, president of the Vera Institute of Justice.

"When identifying a site for Vera, several considerations came into play," added Paul Wolf, co-president of Denham

Wolf, a real estate broker involved in the deal. "The space needed to suit Vera in the present and well into the future. In addition to practical concerns, such as affordability and access to public transit, Vera’s core values had to be at the heart of our search.

We are confident that the Industry City location will bolster Vera and its partners for years to come.”

Key elements of the design of the office space respond directly to staff requests and include diverse workspace options, flexible meeting and presentation space, and an on-site café.

STUDIOS Architecture is leading the design of Vera’s new offices.

“As a leader in the non-profit world, Vera is an exciting addition to Industry City’s diverse community of innovative companies, the majority of which are driving meaningful change in their respective fields,” said Kathe Chase, director of leasing at Industry City. “There are natural opportunities for collaboration between Vera and the many nonprofits, academic partners and progressive companies based at Industry City. We are delighted that Vera made the decision to relocate its headquarters, from downtown Manhattan to IC.”

The students work about six weeks during the summer and receive a stipend. They were given the opportunity to choose a topic to research, preparing surveys and speaking to the members of the community to find out how they are affected by the issue they chose to delve into.

Participants said they learned a lot during the summer.

“This summer, I was a SOMOS researcher and I conducted a research report

on housing regarding the Sunset Park community,” said Rebeca Lafond, a senior at Brooklyn College. “I’m so grateful to the assemblymember for this opportunity.”

“I am grateful for my six week internship at Assemblymember Felix Ortiz’s office,” added Carl Lima of Hunter College. “I was able to conduct formally my very first oral research paper. Throughout the process, I learned a lot, so thank you for inspiring me to become a leader for change.”

“I learned things I didn’t know and I can say he helps people no matter where they come from,” said Melany, a student at Fort Hamilton High School.

Over the course of the internship, the students researched the history of the issue locally as well as what has been done in similar situations in other cities, states, and countries, with the help of Ortiz and his staff.

According to Ortiz, this year students surveyed local residents about housing affordability and homelessness, which the

students identified as two intertwined topics as the cost of living continues to rise faster than wages.

“These young people are our future leaders. This program gives them the opportunity to learn the process and hard work that goes into helping our neighbors and protecting our community,” said Ortiz. “I consider it a blessing to be able to facilitate this program and better equip these students with the knowledge and tools necessary to help serve their neighbors and community.”

‘We Don’t Play Fight’ – New Play Focuses on Brooklyn Native’s Love of Pro-Wrestling And Theater

BY JOHN ALEXANDER JALEXANDER@BROOKLYNEAGLE. COM

B

e n s o n h u r s t- b o r n Jason Calabrese knew he had a fascinating story to tell and decided he would be the one to tell it.

The 40-year-old Brooklyn native and alumni of Lafayette High School believes that his childhood in the borough helped inspire his career as a professional wrestler and personal trainer.

Along the way he decided to write a play about his chosen profession. The problem was that he had no formal training in writing so he bought a book about playwriting and proceeded to use his own life and the people he knew as inspiration for the characters in his play, “Conquer Pro-Wrestling Presents: We Don’t Play Fight.”

Calabrese, whose WWE ring name is Jason Static, debuted his play in Orlando, where he currently resides.

The play proved successful and will be coming to New York in 2019. He calls it a “crossover of the arts production,” because it combines his two passions – wrestling

and theater – with the end result being a hybrid production encompassing the best of both genres.

“I started my professional wrestling career in 2002,” Calabrese said. “I trained in a wrestling school in Jamaica, Queens before Photos courtesy of CPW “We Don’t Play Fight.” mov ing to Pro-wrestlers performing in “We Don’t Play Fight.”

the play was at the Orlando Shakespeare Theater on June 4, 2016. The show nearly sold out. Calabrese and the production garnered positive reviews and attention from all local newspapers.

As a result, Fox’s “Good Day Orlando,” invited him and the play’s star, WWE pro-wrestler Jesse Neal, to sit for an interview.

So far there have been nine performances of the play. Calabrese is looking to bring the production to New York between June and Sept.

2019, after a stint in Chicago in March.

Calabrese believes that he’s found a new vocation and will continue to write.

“I hope to write about topics other than wrestling that I have in mind,” he said. “It’s just a matter of finding the time to sit down and do it.”

But for now he is focusing on continuing to develop and promote “We Don’t Play Fight.” “I’d love to take it to Vegas or New Jersey, anywhere that has a theater or a wrestling ring,” he added. “I want to continue to share the stories in the play that are taken from my childhood.

It all goes back to the people and places I knew growing up in Bensonhurst.”

Focus on Bay Ridge

Golden Was There on 9/11

By Charles F. Otey

Foes Use Snarky Politics, Smears, Innuendo and Lies To Assail Sen. Marty Golden Is His Attack Dog a Tool of Someone On the Ballot in November Election?

The ugly hand of dirty politics reached into our schoolyards this past week when a bellicose bunch of anti-Marty Golden campaigners dropped off literature that had no place in public discourse — especially in the places our children regard as safe havens to learn, play and socialize.

Yet that’s what happened when thousands of pieces of hate mail were dumped in a number of school locations, slandering the state senator, who previously served as councilmember and has a remarkable record when it comes to educating and protecting our children.

‘Li’l Abner’ Cartoonist Al Capp Saw Screamers as ‘SWINE’ Describing the lies foisted on young children in some detail in this column would give them credence and visibility. What’s important to know is that the purveyors lied bigtime, even accusing Golden of “siding with pedophiles” and taking actions that would deprive students of much-needed funding for vital programs.

Though his detractors claim their goal is to “Fight Back Bay Ridge,” their vicious sniping at a man who was an established civic and business leader for years before he even considered public office shows they are every bit as self-righteous as some protesters of the 1960s - the once notorious “SWINE” created by the late “Li’l Abner” cartoonist Al Capp (Students Wildly Indignant (About) Nearly Everything).

Golden Takes High Road, Answers Fiction with Facts “Sen. Golden has always advocated and

voted for billions of dollars in increased funding for schools,” a spokesman said. “In fact, he has supported and voted for the largest increase in school funding in the history of the state.

“Sen. Golden has never voted against speed cameras,” the spokesman continued.

“In fact, he voted to create the original program and is a sponsor of the bill to renew the current program with a significant increase in the number of cameras ... and [publicly] calling upon Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan and Gov. Andrew Cuomo to reconvene the legislature for purposes of passing this bill.”

The spokesman also noted that the senator has obtained and delivered funding “to dozens of schools in his district for scores of improvements, such as new libraries, SMART boards and computers.”

Regarding proposed legislation regarding sexual abuse, the Golden spokesman added that “there are many legislative actions he can and will support to deal with sexual abuse issues … he regularly meets with victims groups, religious leaders, does media interviews and [also] addresses these issues in public forums.”

Unlike some political snipers, state Sen Marty Golden has a history of civic service.

After 9/11 he directed massive food and supply convoys to aid the first responders at Ground Zero. Golden didn’t parachute in from some other community; he grew up in Bay Ridge, was an outstanding member of the NYPD, played a major role in the rejuvenation of Fifth Avenue and, while others issued press releases, he organized hundreds of volunteers who came to his Third Avenue office to pick up supplies and drive them to Lower Manhattan.

The Fight Back Bay Ridge folks seem to be a political action committee and, of course, such PACS aren’t permitted to act in concert with actual political candidates for fear of losing their tax-exempt status and other privileges.

If the winner — either Gounardes or Barkan — joins with Fight Back Bay Ridge in

any official way, he will be adopting a group that represents the snarky worst of American politics and thereby giving his blessing to the propaganda invasion of our children’s schoolyards.

Observers will be looking closely at any untoward cooperation between Fight Back Bay Ridge and the ultimate winner of the Sept. 13 Democratic primary.

‘Fight Back Bay Ridge’ A Cover for Opponents?

The Fight Back Bay Ridge folks deny having any official political party affiliation.

They say they are not attacking Sen. Golden as part of a scheme to support whoever wins the Democratic senatorial nomination — as of this writing, the battle between Andrew Gounardes and Ross Barkan proceeded with both spending tens of thousands of dol-

Merchants of Third Avenue President Bob Howe reports that the 25th Annual Pioneers Reception, set for Oct. 22 at the Bay Ridge Manor, will cite “an impressive list of new Civic Award winners and Third Avenue Pioneers while honoring Pioneers of past years and leaders from many segments of Greater Bay Ridge life.”

Howe noted that Pioneer Committee Co-Chair Lori Pedone has released the names of several who will be specifically designated silver anniversary Pioneers and they include Acting Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce President Rick Russo, civilian military leader Ray Aalbue and Fifth Avenue business leader Louis Peters.

n 2001, at the request of then-Councilmember Marty Golden (whom I now serve as Senate chief of staff), I wrote a 9/11 memorial statement that appeared on the back of thousands of memorial cards that Marty printed and distributed. Each year at this time, I republish the words which take me back to the time and events.

“Our hearts are heavy with sorrow for our loss of so many innocent lives due to the tragic events of September 11, 2001.

“We will never forget the supreme dedication of our Fire, Police and Emergency Services professionals.

Their courageous efforts saved countless lives.

Heroes all, many made the

9/11 ultimate sacrifice.

“We salute the efforts of our volunteers who selflessly gave their time and energy during the most harrowing hours our city has ever faced.

“Our spirit remains unbroken. Our strength renewed. United we will rebuild and move forward.”

Remember the heroes of 9/11. Many first responders and citizens continue to suffer and die from illnesses that came out of that horrible day and the weeks that followed. As we pray for all the lost souls on September 11, please remember these individuals too. *** You can disagree with the president. You can work for the president and

the op-ed was not written by anyone working in the administration.

The number of denials concerning the charges made in the piece are many and throughout the White House and federal departments and agencies.

Regardless of it being the federal government or a local business, employees owe their employer a certain level of loyalty and trust certainly while employed. This anonymous op-ed writer – if a White House employee — both BROOKLYN

violated the administration’s trust and showed a lack of loyalty.

I disapprove of tell-all books from supposed insiders after their jobs have come to an end, but at least in that case, unless they signed a confidentiality statement, they are within their rights.

There are also whistleblower statutes that protect federal employees.

This writer revealed no information that would be covered by that statute and by writing an anonymous op-ed further distanced him or herself from a credible commentary on the administration.

*** Congratulations to Republican-Conservative Assemblymember Nicole Malliotakis who just returned from a successful business expo in Greece where she was part of the United States delegation led by the U.S. Secretary of Commerce.

The expo was designed to enhance economic opportunities for Americans and Greeks: In other words, more jobs. With the New York Labor Day Parade being held last weekend, I think Nicole honored American labor by participating in this job-creating - event.

Brannan Secures Unprecedented Sanitation Funding for District 43, Increased Service Already on its Way

BY MEAGHAN MCGOLDRICK MMCGOLDRICK@BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM

T

here’s no reason to trash talk Councilmember Justin Brannan when it comes to sanitation.

The local pol—who, in the Council’s 2019 budget secured more money towards keeping Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights and Bensonhurst clean than any of his former predecessors—met with New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY) Commissioner Kathryn Garcia on Thursday, August 23 to announce the increase in sanitation services in District 43.

Among the additions locals can expect, Brannan said, is two-day-a-week curb sweeping service, an additional one-day-aweek overnight street sweeper, new sevenday-a-week overnight basket pick-ups along all major commercial corridors and five-daya-week daytime pickups along those same commercial strips.

The latter, he said, will go a long way towards reducing the overflowing cans and a recent spike in household dumping.

“My commitment to making this district the cleanest in the city is absolutely real,” said Brannan, who also stressed that the sanitation services can only work if done alongside help from the community. “It’s really got to be a partnership with residents and neighbors doing their share as well. The money that we’re allocating today, I think is

going to go a long way. That said, you’re not going to snap your fingers and see immaculate streets – but we are going to get there.”

Garcia, who joined Brannan Thursday outside of his district office, 8018 Fifth Avenue, agreed, adding that the partnership between DSNY and the City Council has been “really wonderful.”

Working with specific elected officials, she said, helps the agency pinpoint which services communities actually need.

“I have a sign in my office that says there’s no Democratic or Republican way to clean the streets,” Brannan said, “and it’s really something that I live by. You’ve just gotta get it done.”

McKinley Hosts Annual Commemoration of September 11 Attacks

BY JAIME DEJESUS JDEJESUS@BROOKLYNREPORTER. COM

eaching youth about a turning point in American history.

For the fourth consecutive year, I.S. 259 William McKinley, 7301 Fort Hamilton Parkway, hosted a day to educate students about the terrorist attacks that occurred in New York City on September 11, 2001.

The event, held this year on Wednesday, September 12, featured guest Sharyn Yansko, a 9/11 Memorial Museum docent, to discuss 9/11 with the help of slideshows that featured images and video of the World Trade Center.

“This is my second year doing this. I’ve been working at the museum ever since it opened as a docent,” said Yansko. “It’s very meaningful to me, bringing it to kids. It was really enjoyable last year because the kids were interested.It reinforces for me how incredibly important it is to study history and how you’ve got to get people excited about the idea of studying it so that they realize it’s not just stuff that happened before.

It changes us.”

Jessica Amato, an English teacher at the school and organizer of the event,

discussed the importance of the lesson.

“This is the fourth year that the museum has come to us free of charge to share this message that even in the grimmest of moments, there’s a shred of hope that we have,” she said. “My students take a lot out of it. They walk away with a better understanding of what happens historically and the idea that even in this tragic event, there are some hopeful moments.

“Last week I did an overview and asked who knew about the events,” Amato continued. “None of them was born before 9/11. This is

The school’s 9/11 mural was viewed as part of the day’s events.

Students at McKinley Intermediate School got a lesson on the events of Sept. 11, 2001 from a docent from the 9/11 Memorial Museum. a whole new set of students who have a different grasp

of what happened. It’s good to give them information in

a way that is appropriate and manageable.”

Following the lesson, student Mostafa Rezk took the seventh grade class on a tour of the school’s elaborate mural depicting the events on the day and featuring paintings of firefighters, police, victims and artifacts donated to the school, such as an American flag flown over the World Trade Center, and steel, glass and a cross found at

Ground Zero.

During the conference, Yansko told the story of Welles Crowther, a man who worked in the south tower on the 104th floor and who used a red bandanna his father gave him at a young age to cover his face from the smoke in the building, enabling him to save several lives before he died.

“That his mother was able to find a kind of closure, thanks to the fact that her

son helped save people in his last moments, was important,” Amato said. “I think it’s a really great message because a lot of times the students hear a lot of negativity. We need to know that there as moments in our lives, especially as middle school students, that things can be negative but there is always a glimmer of hope that we can hold onto so that we can move forward.”

CUOMO SIGNS LEGISLATION TO DELIVER BENEFITS FOR 9/11 VOLUNTEERS AND WORKERS

G

overnor Andrew Cuomo announced on Tuesday, Sept. 11 that legislation has been signed to extend the period for workers and volunteers to file a Notice of Participation for lost wage and medical benefits as a result of their involvement in the recovery and clean-up operations following the events of 9/11.

“We will never forget the selfless heroes who did not make it home that day, and we owe first responders and those who aided in the recovery effort an eternal debt of gratitude,” Cuomo said. “This bill rightly and fairly provides 9/11’s brave recovery workers and volunteers the time they need to receive the health benefits and compensation they deserve.”

This bill extends the deadline to file until September 11, 2022. The extension will allow more individuals additional time to receive workers’ compensation, disability and accidental death benefits as a result of their participation in the World Trade Center rescue, recovery and clean-up operations.

The bill was sponsored by state Sen. Marty Golden.

“Additionally, this legislation allows for those who had their applications denied to have that application reconsidered,” Golden said. “Our first responder heroes of 9/11 deserve assistance in getting every benefit to which they are entitled.”–JA

BROOKLYN DA ANNOUNCES NEW PROGRAM TO ERASE MISDEMEANOR MARIJUANA CONVICTIONS

B

rooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez has announced that his office will offer those with a low-level conviction for marijuana possession the opportunity to erase that criminal record completely in the first initiative of its kind in New York State.

Under this program, anyone convicted of low-level marijuana possession will be eligible to file a motion asking to vacate that conviction and dismiss the underlying charge. The district attorney’s office will consent to that motion.

Those eligible will not have to appear in court when a judge decides to vacate their past convictions on a later date. This program follows Gonzalez’s decision to stop prosecuting all but the most egregious cases involving possession and smoking of small amounts of marijuana.

DONOVAN LIKES SALT WITH HIS TAX DEDUCTION

U

.S. Rep. Dan Donovan is pushing for more SALT in New Yorkers’ tax diets.

The Republican congressmember is part of a group of House members urging Speaker Paul Ryan and U.S. Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas), chairperson of the Ways and Means Committee, to stop an effort to make a $10,000 limit for state and local tax (SALT) deductions permanent. The $10,000 cap was written into the Trump tax cut passed last year.

A vote on the second phase of tax cuts is set to take place later this month and Donovan is concerned that the SALT deduction cap will become permanent.

Donovan is threatening to vote against the new bill.

“The permanent cap on SALT will disproportionately affect the states of New York and New Jersey. As you know New York and New Jersey are donor states, meaning we receive less than what we give the federal government in taxes. While some of the most dependent states can receive twice in return for every dollar they send to the U.S. Treasury, states like New York and New Jersey receive only a fraction of the tax dollars sent to Treasury.

This disproportionate spending of federal tax dollars will only be augmented if the cap on the deduction for state and local taxes is extended permanently,” Donovan and other lawmakers wrote in a letter to Ryan and Brady. – PK

The rally was sponsored by the Samaritans Suicide Prevention Center and the Coalition for Behavioral Health.

Council Speaker Corey Johnson added his support to the rally and said it’s important to eliminate the stigma associated with mental illness.

“Far too many New Yorkers struggle with depression, anxiety and other forms of mental illness, and we need to eradicate the stigma associated with mental health once and for all,” Johnson said in a statement. “This year alone, we have seen too many high-profile tragedies after these individuals took their own lives.

Muslim American Group Hosts Holiday Dinner in Bath Beach

BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

B

ay Ridge is known for is large Arab-American population but Bath Beach and Bensonhurst can also boast of providing a welcome mat for immigrants from the Middle East.

In a sign of the growing presence of Middle Easterners in Bath Beach and Bensonhurst, the Arab Muslim American Federation hosted a dinner to celebrate the festival of Eid al-Adha and invited local elected officials and civic and business leaders to join them.

The dinner, which took place at the Muslim American Society’s Youth Center at 1933 Bath Ave. in Bath Beach on Aug. 30, drew more than 125 people, according to Abdullah Younus, who served as master of ceremonies for the evening.

“It was the first time we organized a dinner for Eid al-Adha and we were very happy that it was successful,” Younus told this newspaper.

Eid al-Adha or “Festival of the Sacrifice,” is a Muslim festival marking the culmination of the annual pilgrimage to Mecca and it commemorates the sacrifice made by Abraham, who

religion has it was willing to execute his son because God demanded it. Eid al-Adha is one of the holiest days on the Muslim calendar.

State Sen. Marty Golden and Assemblymembers Peter Abbate and William Colton were among the guests. The keynote speaker was Dr. Halil Matlu, a well known leader in the Muslim American community.

Dr. Khaled Lamada, president of the Arab Muslim American Federation, and the dinner’s organizers presented an award to artist Thomas Cox, a peace activist. “He is a human rights activist who has consistently showed up over the years for Muslim causes,” Younus said.

Dr. Sarwat Amer, a radiologist who has worked on behalf of Arab-American causes, was also honored at the event.

In a symbol of religious unity, the evening ended with prayers offered by Muslim, Christian and Jewish faith leaders.

The federation is perhaps best known for the Eid prayers it organizes every year in Bensonhurst Park.

Member organizations include the Islamic Society of Bay Ridge, the Muslim Youth Center, the Muslim American Society and the Arab American Association of New York.

The federation is currently going through an exciting transition, according to

Younus, who said more young people are coming aboard and becoming more active in the community.

“We are building upon the work that has already been done before us,” he said, adding that the federation is taking its place as part of the broader civic life in

politically active, Younus said.

“The inflection point was Khader El-Yateem’s run for City Council last year,” he said.

Rev. Khader El-Yateem, a

Palestinian-American and the former pastor of Salam Arabic Lutheran Church in Bay Ridge, electrified Brooklyn’s Arab-American community when he ran in the Democratic primary in the 43rd Council District in 2017. He came in second to Justin Brannan in the primary. Brannan went on to win the general election that November.

Younus, who helped run El-Yateem’s campaign, said the campaign registered 1,000 new voters in the council district and generated a great deal of excitement for the future.

El-Yateem supporters formed a new political club called Yalla Brooklyn, which translates as Let’s Go Brooklyn.

Fort Hamilton Outlasts New Dorp to Open Season

BY JIM DOLAN FORT HAMILTON 38 NEW DORP 32 ame team, different field,” quipped Fort Hamilton Head Coach Dan Perez as his Tigers warmed up on the field at New Utrecht High School to take on the Cougars of New Dorp on opening day of the 2018 PSAL High School football season.

With Fort Hamilton’s field under renovation for the rest of the year, New Utrecht will serve as the home field for the Tigers.

In addition to a “different field,” this season the Tigers have a different offensive backfield with the conversion of two receivers to the running back and the

“S

quarterback positions.

First, former tight end Marquis Willoughby was selected for his good hands and strong arm as this season’s quarterback during summer camp, while former wide receiver Javon St. John was brought into the backfield for his speed and ability to run the ball.

Both conversions paid off for the Tigers as the new backfield duo scored two touchdowns each for Fort Hamilton’s 38-32 opening season win.

After denying New Dorp its first scoring opportunity at the 25-yard line, the Tigers took over and drove downfield where Willoughby ran for a 15-yard touchdown.

The Tigers followed with

an interception by Hashim Brisard that led to a twoyard run by St. John to give Fort Hamilton a 14-0 at the end of the first quarter.

New Dorp capitalized on an interception to get on the scoreboard as its featured running back Fernando Rigau scored from the twoyard line.

The Cougars again took advantage of an interception for a score as New Dorp quarterback Michael Grassi hit Nicholas Felder on a 25-yard pass to tie the score at 14-14.

With time dwindling in the second quarter, Willoughby marched the Tigers downfield for one more score and hit Zylonrey Jones Alleye on a 10-yard pass to put Fort Hamilton

Evading two New Dorp defenders late in the fourth quarter, Javon St. John crosses the goal line for a 23-yard touchdown run to put Fort Hamilton ahead 38-32 on opening day for the Tigers’ first win of the 2018 PSAL season. up 22-14 at the half.

St. John opened the third quarter on a kickoff return to the 25-yard line where

Willoughby ran the ball in from the 10-yard line to increase Fort Hamilton’s lead to 30-14.

Despite the Tigers’ considerable lead, the Cougars bounced back to score twice to narrow Fort Hamilton’s lead to 30-26 by the end of the third quarter on Grassi’s three-yard quarterback keeper and a 45-yard pass to Gregorio Estrella.

On the ensuing kickoff, a Fort Hamilton fumble led to a Cougar 10-yard touchdown reception by Alex Mendez to give New Dorp a 32-30 lead.

Down by two points in the closing minutes of the game, Willoughby responded by rallying his offense to bounce back for the 38-32 win on a subsequent 23-yard slant run by St. John to give Fort Hamilton its first win of the season at its “new” home field.
