The same resident complained that, upon continued requests to mitigate noise, “the establishment became threatening,” according to Willis.

“Another resident,” she went on, told her that he had visited the location and observed both “dancing and hookah.” A petition has also been signed by at least a dozen residents, who claim that the establishment has been operating as a nightclub.

Board 10 had hoped that the premises, which, the chair said, has appeared dormant since the beginning of February, would stay that way until the issue was resolved, or, at the least, until it received a proper liquor license.

However, that was apparently just wishful thinking.

Neighbors allege that a longtime Dyker Heights restaurant has changed ownership — and operation.

Residents reached out to the board just one day before the general meeting to say that the loud music had resumed over the weekend of Feb. 23. The all-night dance parties had also resumed as of the week after the full board meeting, Board 10 District Manager Josephine Beckmann told this paper.

Luna – who, Willis added, is the cousin of the former cook at Chef Andrea – told the board that an old manager had been running the premises while she was working on her degree, but admitted that she was responsible for the business during the time when the complaints were made.

Ultimately, CB10 voted to

recommend that the SLA deny the restaurant’s application for a new liquor license, as well as to pen a letter to the agency explaining the location’s recent troubled history.

The board’s vote is advisory only.

Luna did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

However, Con Ed Spokesperson Alfonso Quiroz argued that, since the incident didn’t seem to be weather-related, it’s one that could’ve just as easily occurred underground.

“Sometimes it’s weather [that causes an outage], but sometimes, with an electrical system, some things just go wrong,” he said, noting also that the power purveyor is still investigating the incident. “These situations aren’t limited to lines that are above ground. We see in the city that there are oftentimes underground fires.

First LGBTQ+ group to march in a Brooklyn St. Patrick’s Day Parade

BY JOHN ALEXANDER JALEXANDER@ BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM

T

his month marks the first time an Irish LGBTQ+ group will be marching in the Irish American Day/Brooklyn St. Patrick’s Day parade on Mar. 17 in Park Slope and Windsor Terrace.

The co-founders of Brooklyn Irish LGBTQ+ organization (BILO), Lisa Fane and Matthew McMorrow, sent a letter to the Irish American Parade Committee in January asking to march in the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

Assemblymember Robert Carroll, who represents Park Slope and Windsor Terrace, wrote a letter in support of BILO and helped arrange a one-on-one meeting with the parade committee for Fane, McMorrow and himself.

The group received a letter earlier this week from the parade committee leadership notifying them that BILO will be able to march

The decision came on the heels of backlash to the Staten Island St. Patrick’s Day Parade committee’s decision not to allow the Pride Center of Staten Island to march under its banner in the Mar. 2 celebration.

“As a lifelong resident of Windsor Terrace whose grandfather founded this parade in 1976, whose father was the announcer for this parade for many years and

who participated in this parade every year growing up, I applaud the Irish American parade committee decision to include BILO in the line of march for this year’s parade,” Carroll said.

“My grandfather founded this parade to commemorate the American bicentennial and to celebrate the Irish and the contributions of Irish Americans to this country, and I know that he would be proud to know that it is now welcoming to all,” he added.

parade be welcoming to all individuals. He said that the parade was a family tradition and that it was one of the first initiatives he chose to undertake after his election to the Assembly in 2016.

“I am so glad that everyone was able to come together to honor Irish heritage and culture and make this the first fully inclusive St. Patrick’s Day parade in Brooklyn,” Carroll added.

The Park Slope St. Patrick’s Day Parade is one of two parades held in Brooklyn. The 26th annual Bay Ridge St. Patrick’s Day Parade takes place a week later on Sun., Mar. 24.

Sláinte, Sally: Bay Ridge St. Pat’s Parade to memorialize ‘Sweet Sally Sunshine’

BY MEAGHAN MCGOLDRICK MMCGOLDRICK@BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM

B

ay Ridge Saint Patrick’s Day Parade just got a little sweeter.

The neighborhood staple, now in its 26th year, will be held on Sunday, March 24 in loving memory of Sally Kabel, the Bay Ridge girl known to many as “Sweet Sally Sunshine.”

Sally, who spent most of her young life battling leukemia, ultimately beat the disease but the harsh treatments took a toll on her young body. She died on September 19 at just six years old.

Bay Ridge rallied behind Sally at the time of her diagnosis, just as her hometown rallied behind her family in the wake of her passing.

Ribbons – gold to commemorate Childhood Cancer Awareness Month – cropped up across the neighborhood seemingly overnight. Schools encouraged students to wear gold. Sunflowers (a symbol, Sally’s parents said, they never quite associated with their daughter) began popping up everywhere in the days after her death – a sign, they felt, that their child was okay.

Now, half a year later, the community will rally behind the Kabels yet again.

“It’s impossible to imagine a person in Bay Ridge that doesn’t know of Sally, her courageous, inspiring life, her loving and devoted family, and her legacy as an unmatched unifier,” Bay Ridge Saint Patrick’s Day Parade Committee Vice President Richie O’Mara said. “In fact, Bay Ridge never failed to rally around sweet Sally both in life and with her passing, as the entire community turned gold and sunflowers adorned every street in a show of unconditional love and support for her and the entire Kabel family.”

Sally’s father, Matt, said he was overcome with emotion when O’Mara shared with him the parade committee’s decision.

“I cried when Richie told me about it… in Kettle Black nonetheless,” Matt said. “I can’t convey how much the love people

The 2019 parade will be held in her memory. continue to show for Sally and support we continue to receive as a family means to us. We are really doing our best to ‘be like Sally,’ and keep finding joy and live life.”

Sally was diagnosed with leukemia at just 10 months old. Despite her illness, family and friends agreed that it was rare to see the young girl without a smile on her face.

Sally’s spirit, O’Mara alluded, embodies what the Bay Ridge Saint Patrick’s Day Parade is all about. “Indeed, Sally continues to inspire us to be kind to each other, to dance and to find joy in even the hardest of times,” he said. “The Bay Ridge Saint Patrick’s Day Parade Committee is beyond proud to dedicate this year’s parade to the Kabel family, and more specifically everyone’s angel above, Sweet Sally Sunshine.”

“Acts like this keep us going,” Matt added, “as it shows how important Sally’s positive spirit was to the community. We have to continue that for her.”

The Kabel family will march with friends in the parade, which will kick off at 1 p.m. and march down Third Avenue.

Sally’s brother, Thomas, will also be step dancing in the parade.

Sally, Matt said, is named after her mother Nicole’s grandmother, Sally Dunne, who is Irish. Nicole's mother is also named Sally.

Sunset residents and elected officials continue to be concerned over the proposed relocation of Sheepshead Bay’s infamous party boats to Sunset Park.

Sunset Parkers concerned about Sheepshead party boats moving to BAT

BY JAIME DEJESUS JDEJESUS@BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM

O

ne neighborhood’s relief may become another’s problem.

Starting May 1, the party boats that have roiled Sheepshead Bay will no longer be able to pick up and unload passengers in that neighborhood; instead, they will be relocated to other Brooklyn areas, including Sunset Park’s Brooklyn Army Terminal (BAT), according to Assemblymember Steven Cymbrowitz, who represents the southern Brooklyn nabe.

“This is a fair and reasonable resolution that will help restore Sheepshead Bay’s quality of life during the summer months and bring in weekend visitors who were reluctant to come here because of the crowds and backed-up traffic on Emmons Avenue,” Cymbrowitz said. “I’ve said all along that you can’t have thousands of

people boarding and disembarking from party boats in the middle of a residential community.

“I’m pleased that the city listened to us,” Cymbrowitz went on. “This is an important change for Sheepshead Bay – one that’s been a long time in coming.”

But, while Cymbrowitz is pleased, Sunset Park elected officials and residents are perturbed.

“The Sunset Park community was loud and clear last year about how obnoxious, unruly and unwelcome the party boats were to our side of town,” Councilmember Carlos Menchaca told this paper in a statement. “To learn that even more boats may be coming is more than disrespect. It’s an insult to this community and to me, as I was also clear that any subsequent party boat activity needed to be discussed with me and my office. We need answers as to how these decisions were made and fast.”

Riders Alliance enlists pols in congestion pricing push

BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

L

eaders of the Riders Alliance have been riding the subways a lot lately.

With the April 1 deadline looming to finalize the state budget, members of the group have been riding the rails to push for congestion pricing as part of the state’s spending package.

The Riders Alliance is getting help from

like-minded Brooklyn lawmakers who have been accompanying members of the transit advocacy group on train rides to hand out ridership surveys and talk to straphangers about congestion pricing, the concept of charging motorists a toll to drive into Manhattan to raise money to fund repairs to New York City’s transit system.

U. S. Rep. Nyd ia Velazquez and Assembly members Mathylde Frontus and Maritza

Davila were the latest pols to take a ride to discuss congestion pricing. State Sen. Andrew Gounardes recently rode the R train and talked to riders at the 77th Street station in Bay Ridge to show his support for congestion pricing. Another Brooklyn lawmaker, state Sen. Julia Salazar of Bushwick, also took a subway ride with the Riders Alliance.

Congestion pricing would require state approval.

Sunset Park will be getting a new school this fall.

After years of effort, LEEP Dual Language Academy Charter School has been approved by the New York State Regents to open a charter school -beginning with kindergarten and first grade -- in the neighborhood by August of this year.

Founded by Prospect Heights resident Roberto Gutierrez and LEEP Chief Operating Officer Michael Regnier, the goal of the school, whose location hasn’t been revealed yet, is to teach all students to be bilingual by fifth grade.

“The dual language

program is really unique to New York City,” Gutierrez said. “In fact, the rigor and intensity of Spanish language acquisition in kindergarten and first grade has not been done in New York in this way.

There are a lot of dual language programs, but we have a very specialized model called the 90/10 model.”

The school had strong neighborhood support, added Gutierrez, who told this paper that the planning included meeting with local leaders to gain information on what was needed in the community.

“All of the information that we got from those meetings and those conversations on the sidewalk on hot summer days led to

the creation of the charter application which was submitted to the New York State Board of Education and the Board of Regents.”

Eventually LEEP trustees went before the Board of Regents which, on Nov. 5, voted to authorize the creation of the school.

Finding a space was the next hurdle for LEEP. “We are on a fast track,” Gutierrez said. “As a charter school. we don’t get automatic space for a school or a DOE building, first and foremost because there are no spaces in Sunset Park. We promised the community and leaders that we would not compete with existing plans for DOE space. We are going to find private space [to lease].”

Brooklyn gets only two inches of snow despite much higher projection, school closures

hat was expected to be the first major snowstorm in Brooklyn in 2019 turned out to be more of a wet mess.

Up to eight inches of snow were expected to accumulate in the borough overnight from Sunday into Monday, March 3 and 4. Instead, according to the National Weather Service just two inches had fallen in Kings County as of 7 a.m. Monday.

Mayor Bill de Blasio had made the decision to close public school during the early evening hours of Sunday, Mar. 4, as well as cancelling alternate side parking on Monday, Mar. 4 through Wed, Mar 6.

Snow day fun at Owl’s Head Park.

A code blue was in effect and 695 salt spreaders were out all over the five boroughs. De Blasio said on Sunday, “We have 1,600 plows ready to go, as soon as the snow accumulation amounts to the point that the plows can get into action. But we do expect to see the snow in the next few hours, and then it will intensify, through the

night. When we get to the early morning hours, we could see snow coming in at the pace of one to two inches per hour.”

While, for some, the overnight snow meant shoveling, for parents and kids home for the day, in Bay Ridge it was a chance to take advantage of the snow day by going sledding in Owl’s Head Park.

Industry City poised to take first steps toward rezoning

BY JAIME DEJESUS JDEJESUS@BROOKLYNREPORTER. COM

I

ndustry City’s expansion could be moving forward.

An application to rezone the massive waterfront space was recently filed with the Department of City Planning, as first reported

by The Real Deal.

The plan is for a 10-year, $1 billion redevelopment that would increase IC’s total usable square footage from 5.3 to 6.6 million square feet and would create 15,000 on-site jobs through the building of hotels, as well as additional retail space and academic centers.

The filing of the application is the first step in the mandated city review process that is triggered by rezoning requests, known as ULURP (uniform land use review procedure).

According to the filing, “The proposed actions are needed because the project area’s current zoning does not provide for the range of uses and flexibility for locating new development necessary to support the re-tenanting and development of the Industry City ‘Innovation Economy District.’”

The proposal has been in the works for five years, Industry City CEO Andrew Kimball said in a statement.

The goal, he said, is “to fully reactivate the long-dormant, non-productive buildings of Industry City into a job-intensive hub for manufacturers, innovators and entrepreneurs, while also maximizing economic opportunity for area residents and local businesses.”

Beginning in 2013, Kimball added, Industry City has invested $400 million “to rebuild, enliven and update the 16-building, 35-acre campus,” which currently employs approximately 7,500 people at over 500 businesses, “Representing nearly 400 percent growth in jobs in the past five years.

“Today,” he went on, “35 percent of workers employed at Industry City live in Southwest Brooklyn and more than one in 10 live directly in Sunset Park. The plan for continued growth

ebrooklyn media/File photo by Lore Croghan

Industry City envisions that on-site employment will leap to more than 15,000 jobs, with another 8,250 jobs generated nearby.”

With that growth, however, will come a significant down-zoning in terms of use, according to Kimball, from an emphasis on heavy manufacturing, which, he said, was “meant for the days of smokestacks and uses like chemical plants, tanneries, things that were never at Industry City and won’t ever be,” to light manufacturing, “similar to what the [Brooklyn] Navy Yard has, for example, and creating an innovation district.”

Associate real estate broker at Marcus & Millichap Jakub Nowak, who primarily focuses on Brooklyn and Queens, said that the rezoning is a positive step for the space and Sunset Park.

“I think it’s great and needed to diversify the uses across over five million square feet of real estate that Industry City represents,” he said. “I think it’s overdue and that the zoning restrictions that are imposed on these buildings currently as heavy manufacturing are too restrictive.

I think the proposed zoning and uses are going to benefit Industry City and the neighborhood at large.”

He contended that thus far, the growth of Industry City, led by Belvedere Capital, Jamestown and Angelo Gordon & Co. has been positive for the community.

“The primary driver in a neighborhood’s well being is job growth and the kinds

of businesses that are moving to Industry City and hiring in Sunset Park have been a big a driver of the ongoing evolution of this neighborhood,” he said.

According to Industry City reps, who addressed the matter during town hall meetings on the rezoning last November, the proposal is broadly aligned with Community Board 7’s 197A Plan.

It includes expansion of the IC campus to 35 acres, spread through 16 buildings, with over 450 companies on site, and IC says it will create opportunity in Sunset Park in key areas such as economic development, environment, open space, education, transportation, historic preservation and community facilities.

197-A plans are developed

in accordance with the City Charter, by community boards and borough boards, in conjunction with the mayor, City Planning Commission (CPC), Department of City Planning and borough president, “to sponsor plans for the development, growth, and improvement of the city, its boroughs and communities,” according to nyc.gov.

However, some locals fear the move will cause further gentrification, putting pressure on long-time Sunset Park residents. “[Industry City] missed the opportunity to do something truly innovative,” executive director of non-profit UPROSE Elizabeth Yeampierre said after one town hall. “What they’ve done is recreate Williamsburg or Chelsea,

nothing that would incentivize the local economy while addressing the needs of the region. They didn’t do that. They could have.”

Nonetheless, Nowak told this paper that the increase in jobs would only help the area.

“Anytime you fight to restrict job growth and the opportunity for job creation in the neighborhood, you’re not serving the people of that neighborhood. I think that the changes that are proposed here are going to encourage job growth and job diversity, and that bodes well for anyone living in Sunset Park today,” he said.

The change in usage, he added, will only benefit the community. “When you look at what these buildings are, they’re multi-story manufacturing

and industrial buildings,” Nowak said. “For a lot of today’s industrial uses, this kind of manufacturing space have become obsolete.

While there is still going to be demand for the kind of space that Industry City offers for industrial uses, I think the highest and best use for this type of building has shifted away from just standard industrial uses, especially a space of this scale, over five million square feet. I think that lifting the zoning restriction and allowing for more diversity will really be meeting the market’s demand.”

As the rezoning goes through ULURP, it will be reviewed by CB 7, Borough President Eric Adams and the City Planning Commission before it goes to the City Council for a final vote.

Senator Bernie Sanders returned to his roots on Saturday, March 2, coming to Brooklyn College to kick off his 2020 presidential campaign. This time, Sanders predicted he would not only win the Democratic nomination by double-digits, he would handily defeat incumbent Republican President Donald Trump, whom he called “the most dangerous president in modern American history.” To the crowd packing the college’s quadrangle, Sanders promised to fight for “economic justice, social justice, racial justice and environmental justice.”

Their 50 cents: Rally held outside 72nd Precinct to support top cop

BY JAIME DEJESUS JDEJESUS@BROOKLYNREPORTER. COM

T

hey stand by Manny.

In response to an ongoing internal review by the NYPD over allegations that 72nd Precinct commanding officer Deputy Inspector Emmanuel Gonzalez told officers during roll call last June to “shoot him on sight,” referring to 50 Cent [Curtis Jackson], dozens of Sunset Park community leaders gathered outside the 72nd Precinct, 830 Fourth Avenue, on Thursday, Feb. 28 to show support for Gonzalez.

“All of these people here today make up Sunset Park,” said President of the Village of Sunset Park Ray Acevedo, a retired NYPD sergeant, of the crowd — which reflected the neighborhood’s diversity. “We have come together to support a commanding officer who has done more than any other CO has done in this precinct ever before.

He has united us together as one community.”

Last year, a $125 million notice of claim was filed against the city by a club Jackson frequents, Love and Lust, 225 47th St., whose

owner Imran Jairam alleged that Gonzalez demanded contributions to Puerto Rican relief efforts to forestall enforcement of violations at the bar. It was after this that Gonzalez allegedly made the inflammatory comment prior to an NYPD boxing charity event held in the Bronx last summer.

Jairam blames a raft of violations that led to his club losing its liquor license and closing down on Gonzalez, who he said was miffed that the club owner had turned down the commander’s request.

“We have a situation where we have a club that had been open since the early 2000s that has been doing nothing but bringing crime to this neighborhood, and he shut the club down,” Acevedo added. “What did they do?

They conspired to make this man a demon. And he is a hard-working man who cares about the community.”

Former Assistant Commissioner of the NYPD Robert Gonzalez concurred.

“We need to keep in mind this is nothing but a distraction from the club owners to try to ruin the reputation of Manny, someone who has worked very closely with

A rally was held Feb. 28 supporting 72nd Precinct commanding officer D.I. Emmanuel Gonzalez. the community and has done a lot of work,” he said.

“We should get people from the community involved to prevent this distraction that has taken place.”

Delvis Valdes, an attorney who represents Gonzalez, told supporters, “The biggest capital you have is your name and reputation, not the amount of money and success you have. Everyone here is standing up for a man whose reputation has been dragged through the mud undeservedly.”

That was a theme that was repeated by those who spoke.

“No good deed goes

unpunished,” said Noor Rabah, vice president of the Muslim Community Patrol and Services. “[Gonzalez] has been doing good time in and time out. He’s been constantly doing right by us. We have to do right and stand by him, and this message goes out to those that were supporting this club, the indecency and crimes taking place in this community. How dare you fight against the man doing right by us?”

“I’ve known Manny for over seven years,” said Felix Burgos, clergy liaison for the 72nd Precinct. “We worked closely together

in the 66 where he was an XO. We call him Manny because he is just a regular guy. At times, I drive by the precinct at midnight and his car is still here.”

But, Jackson, who has often posted about Gonzalez on his Instagram account, had a very different take.

“What dispute, he just told a bunch of Cops at roll call to shoot me on sight,” he wrote on Instagram following the rally. “The 8 Good Cops And a supervisor reported him.

Emanuel Gonzalez is a dirty Cop.” In the same vein, Jairam’s attorney Eric Sanders tweeted, “Hmm, did these

community ‘leaders’ even bother to do their own research? Alert: DI Emmanuel Gonzalez’s own staff confirmed the comments about 50 and targeted enforcement against Club Love and Lust.”

But, Gonzalez’s supporters said that the NYPD should be doing more in solidarity with him.

“We need the NYPD to stand up and say a good word for this man, because he deserves it,” said Acevedo.

“We’re here to let them know that we’re behind him, 1,000 percent.”

“Where are the unions to defend Manny?” added Robert Gonzalez. “Where’s the captain’s association?

How come they’re not here?

They should be here.”

“The department is still doing their review, but there should be no review. They should stop and support him and go after the people making threats online,” said Valdes, referring to several menacing social media posts directed at Gonzalez.

When asked if 50 Cent had filed charges based on the alleged threat made against him, Valdes told this paper, “Not that I’ve heard of. I think that’s all talk on his part.”

Activists Resume Efforts Outside Brooklyn Jail after More Reported Heat Outages

BY DAVID BRAND BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE

F

ollowing reports of more heat outages at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Sunset Park, activists have renewed demonstrations and monitoring efforts outside the federal jail, which went without power and heat amid record-low temperatures last month.

On Friday, Federal Defenders of New York supervising attorney Deirdre von Dornum told the Daily News that she had “firsthand knowledge” that at least three units in MDC lacked heat.

Attorneys and activists contacted by this newspaper Monday morning said they could not yet confirm accounts of heat outages at the jail. The previous heat outage, which lasted from Jan. 27 until Feb. 4, prompted large protests inside and outside the facility as

freezing detainees banged “Contrary to media on their cell windows to reports, the heat at MDC signal to demonstrators — Brooklyn is fully operaincluding loved ones and tional and the institution is prominent elected officials operating normally,” BOP — outside the jail’s walls. said in an email.

Last month, hundreds of detainees’ loved ones and advocates joined local leaders to condemn the “inhumane” conditions inside the federal facility, which houses 1,600 people, mostly pretrial detainees.

“This is an injustice.

This is inhumane,” said Brooklyn resident Mikey Michelle, who painted a sign of support for the detainees on Feb. 3. “Heat is a human right.”

U. S. Reps. Nyd ia Velazquez, Yvette Clarke and Jerrold Nadler, New York State Attorney General Letitia James, Councilmember Brad Lander and state Sen. Michael Gianaris each toured the facility on Feb. 3. Public Advocate-elect Jumaane Williams and other leaders participated in the demonstrations and spoke to detainees through a megaphone.

Demonstrators are organizing outside the jail again as a second round of outages are reported. chaotic that afternoon when a BOP security staff member doused demonstrators with pepper spray when they attempted to enter the building.

The spray struck a few of the detainees’ family members, activists and reporters. NYPD officers helped BOP staff propel protesters away from the entrance and set up barricades.

Several defense attorneys who were allowed to enter the building left coughing or covering their mouths with their shirts.

Heat and electricity were finally restored at the facility on Feb. 3 — roughly a

week after the aging boilers first broke in the building.

Attorneys and family members were allowed to resume meeting with detainees on the evening of Feb. 4.

During a conference call with elected officials, activists and reporters on Feb. 4, David Patton, the executive director and attorney-in-chief of the Federal Defenders of New York, urged community members to continue monitoring the problems at MDC. “These problems are long-standing, and I’m glad there’s an appetite to stay with this,” Patton said.

What does it mean to be in love? For eight years, in images, writing and life, plain and simple, we have tried to tease out the answer. Love is a cliche, an idea so easy to imagine but impossible to grasp. Like an overripe fruit, it collapses with a bit of pressure into cloying sweetness and the faint sense of something lost. At its most basic, falling in love means cleaving away something of yourself and becoming something else.

It’s painful and hard, but also carries the potential for profound transformation.

When We Were Strangers is the first part of a lifelong project deconstructing love through the prism of our relationship. This first chapter is a love poem of sorts, one that charts

what happens when two people attempt to become something more and less than that, when we are more unknown stranger to each other than anything else.

But love is an ouroboros that eats the past that came before it. Who was I before you? We are interested in the frayed edges, the messy intersections, the elements of ourselves lost and new facets gained in the process, and the limits to all of that.

OTHER WAYS OF

KNOWING In our modern society, imagery is read instantly and without question. Other Ways of Knowing looks at how we see in order to challenge how we acquire knowledge. By questioning our relationship to images, we can look at the ways we’re fed imagery on a daily basis and teach us how to discern for ourselves what that imagery means to us. Other Ways of Knowing references illusion and misdirection traditionally designed to influence choice and transforms them into a new visual language. This digital iteration of Other Ways of Knowing features new additions to the series never exhibited before. The screens in the Made in NY Media Center will challenge the viewer to interact with a screen – a daily routine part of our lives – within a new context, one where you’re asked to stay for longer.

This exhibition explores the narrative of the series in a new and refreshing way, accomplished by the unique collaboration of the space and the artist.

Santos Briones has photographed undocumented migrants who face orders of deportation. By taking up asylum in houses of worship, often for indefinite periods of time, these individuals and their families have found both a refuge and a provisional prison. Santos Briones’ photographs are an intimate depiction of living in a state of uncertainty. Rather than present portraits of people in hopeless situations, she has chosen to convey the universal routines of their everyday lives. Birthdays are celebrated, siblings tease one another, and meals are shared.

FRIDA KAHLO: APPEARANCES CAN BE

DECEIVING Mexican artist Frida Kahlo’s unique and immediately recognizable style was an integral part of her identity. Kahlo came to define herself through her ethnicity, disability, and politics, all of which were at the heart of her work. Frida Kahlo: Appearances Can Be Deceiving is the largest U.S. exhibition in ten years devoted to the iconic painter and the first in the United States to display a collection of her clothing and other personal possessions, which were rediscovered and inventoried in 2004 after being locked away since Kahlo’s death, in 1954. They are displayed alongside important paintings, drawings, and photographs from the celebrated Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection of 20th Century Mexican Art, as well as related historical film and ephemera. To highlight the

T KIRA MADDEN: LONG LIVE THE TRIBE OF FATHERLESS GIRLS W/ RICK MOODY Acclaimed literary essayist T Kira Madden’s raw and redemptive debut memoir is about coming of age and reckoning with desire as a queer, biracial teenager amidst the fierce contradictions of Boca Raton, Florida, a place where cult-like privilege, shocking racial disparities, rampant white-collar crime, and powerfully destructive standards of beauty hide in plain sight. As a child, Madden lived a life of extravagance, from her exclusive private school to her equestrian trophies and designer shoe-brand name.

But under the surface was a wild instability. The only child of parents continually battling drug and alcohol addictions, Madden confronted her environment alone. Facing a culture of assault and objectification, she found lifelines in the desperately loving friendships of fatherless girls.

HOROSCOPES march 7 - march 13, 2019 ♈ ARIES  Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, there’s always ample opportunity to learn from past mistakes. You can make amends for previous miscues this week when you're reunited with someone from the past. ♉ TAURUS  Apr 21/May 21 Others seem to be feeding you information on a need-to-know basis. This may be frustrating, Taurus. But a little extra patience is required for the time being. ♊ GEMINI  May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, the need to delegate will present itself throughout the week. Don’t take on more than you can handle. Trust that those around you are up to the task. ♋ CANCER  Jun 22/Jul 22 The image that you project can be much more important than the work you actually do, Cancer. Have a good public relations team in your corner. ♌ LEO  Jul 23/Aug 23 The good will you demonstrate will come around in time, Leo. Continue to be generous and help others whenever possible.

Karma is on your side. ♍ VIRGO  Aug 24/Sept 22 It is not easy to admit when you are wrong, Virgo. When the need to do so arises, be gracious and offer your apologies in a heartfelt way that will resonate with others. ♎ LIBRA  Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, support is a twoway street. If you boost the confidence of a friend or loved one, in return he or she may help you in big ways.

Work as a team to foster communication. ♏ SCORPIO  Oct 24/Nov 22 Take a step back from the rush and pressure that has surrounded you lately, Scorpio. You can use the rest to clear your mind.

This break will help you tackle new things. ♐ SAGITTARIUS  Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you may be eager to step into a new job right when another is finished. While this can be good for productivity, make sure you avoid burnout. ♑ CAPRICORN  Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, sometimes you are acutely aware of details that others readily miss. This trait comes in handy when you are asked to advise others. ♒ AQUARIUS  Jan 21/Feb 18 It is important to be self-aware of the way you communicate with others, Aquarius. Pushing too hard might shut some people off. Adjust your approach accordingly. ♓ PISCES  Feb 19/Mar 20 Psychic feelings are pronounced this week, Pisces. Try to hone in on what these sensations are attempting to tell you.

The last six months have seen Fontaines D.C. release three hotly received double A-side singles, both of which were named as singles of the week by Rough Trade, and garnered early support from the likes of Steve Lamacq and others on BBC 6 Music, as well as earning feature space from every major Irish publication. Now they’re back with the release of ‘Too Real,’ the fourth two-track and 7″ release from the Irish quintet. Fontaines D.C. met in Dublin, influenced and driven in equal measure by the rich history of their hometown’s counterculture, their response has been to make concise and immediately authentic indie-punk that has done anything but fall on deaf ears. The band have gone from strength-to-strength with each release, and with a vast array of critical acclaim, renowned live shows, a series of sold out releases behind them and their recent signing to Partisan, the new single and forthcoming dates stand as a huge statement of intent, which is not to be ignored.

Here’s Your Chance to Speak Up About the Spice Factory March 12 Meeting About Crown Heights South Development

By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn

Will you miss the Spice Factory when it’s gone?

On weekdays, the powerful scent of Morris J. Golombeck Inc.’s herbs and spices fills the air outside 960 Franklin Ave. If you’re strolling by, you may feel a sudden urge to take a gourmet cooking class so your dinners will smell half this great.

The spice importer’s Crown Heights South factory is pleasing to the eye as well. The austerely beautiful redbrick complex has magisterial arched windows and a smokestack.

Plus, if you’re a beer drinker, 960 Franklin Ave. is sacred ground. It began its existence as an enormous brewery called the Consumers Park Brewing Co.

OPEN HOUSE

So. If you think the Spice Factory should be adaptively reused and a new apartment building should be constructed on adjacent vacant land, this is your moment to share your opinion with city officials.

If you support Ian Bruce Eichner’s plan to tear down the Spice Factory and build a 1.37 million-square-foot development with two towers, each 39 stories tall, now is the time to speak up.

If you think Eichner’s firm Continuum Co. and development partner Lincoln Equities should build a more modestly sized apartment complex in accord with current zoning, it’s time to say so.

At 1 p.m. on March 12, the City Planning Department will hold a public scoping meeting about the proposed development at 960 Franklin Ave. The meeting room is on the concourse level of 120 Broadway in Manhattan.

If you can’t attend, you can send written testimony to the City Planning Department.

A 1,578-UNIT APARTMENT COMPLEX WHERE A BREWERY STOOD The meeting is a step in the uniform land use review procedure, or ULURP, the Spice Factory project is required to undergo because its developers are seeking zoning changes for it.

A draft scope of work for 960 Franklin Ave. says their proposed rental-apartment complex would have 1,578units, 789 of which will be affordable housing if zoning changes are made. There would also be retail space and a community facility.

Rendering via the City Planning Department

Here’s Your Chance to Speak Up About the Spice Factory — Continued from page 12INB — Board 9 meetings last year, numerous neighborhood residents voiced their disapproval of proposed high-rise development at 960 Franklin Ave.

• Morris J. Golombeck Inc. Importers of Spices moved into 960 Franklin Ave. around 1955, the draft scope of work says.

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS AT THIS INTERSECTION

The intersection of Franklin Avenue and Montgomery Street, where the Spice Factory is located, is quite the development node.

On the opposite corner from the Spice Factory, there’s a vast, rubble-strewn site at 40 Crown St., aka 902 Franklin Ave. Last year, Cornell Realty Management sold the site for $41.025 million to an entity led by Dennis Markus, Finance Department records show. He’s the chief financial officer of San Franciscobased Carmel Partners.

The site is made up of properties with 135 Montgomery St., 149 Montgomery St. and 40-64 Crown St. as their addresses.

The developer got the property rezoned so it can build a 16-story tower.

Behind the vacant site, construction is well underway on a 12-story residential building at 109 Montgomery St. Brooklyn Botanic Garden sold this site for $24.5 million in 2015, Finance Department records show.

Here’s a glimpse of the Spice Factory with subway tracks in the foreground.

Montgomery Street Condominium.

In 2017 they bought 962 and 972 Franklin Ave. for $33 million A 2016 DNAinfo story identifies the developers as LIVWRK from HPG Associates, whose president is Zev Golombeck, city in partnership with First Market Properties.

Finance Department records indicate. We checked in with Golombeck employees the other day, and they’re still occupying the factory — for now.

In 2017 the developers also signed a contract to buy 124 and 130 Montgomery St. from HPG Associates. The memorandum of contract filed in Finance Department records doesn’t reveal the Special price they agreed to pay for these properties.

Brooklyn Daily Eagle cover from March 5, 1949

JOHN@DONOFRIOINC.COM • WWW.DONOFRIOINC.COM

ON MARCH 5, 1917, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported, “George Washington, who celebrates his name by getting in trouble annually around February 22, when patriotic but misguided acquaintances treat him to many drinks, will celebrate the next four birthdays of his illustrious namesake in jail.

George was convicted of burglary again and Judge Fawcett, in the County Court today, sent him to Sing Sing for five years.

‘For years you have been disgracing that great name which you have taken unto yourself,’ said Judge Fawcett to G.W. ‘You need only one more conviction to be sent away for life. Let your sentence be a warning to men who think they can commit burglaries without being caught.”  ON MARCH 5, 1949, the Eagle reported, “Washington, March 5 (U.P.) — The Justice Department announced early today that FBI agents had arrested a Justice Department employee and a member of the Soviet delegation to the United Nations for conspiring to remove official United States government records. Attorney General Tom Clark identified the department employee as Judith Coplon, 27, and the Russian as Valentine A. Gubitchev, 32, third secretary of the U.S.S.R. Secretariat of the United Nations. Miss Coplon is employed in the Justice Department’s criminal division. Miss Coplon’s brother, Bertram G. Coplon [of New York City] said she had been employed by the Justice Department ever since her graduation from Barnard College five years ago. He declined comment on her arrest but said she came home from Washington every weekend to visit her parents [on Ocean Parkway] … The section in which Miss Coplon is employed has charge of the registration of agents of foreign countries and companies.”

Josephine Augello, President 5015 New Utrecht Ave. Brooklyn Daily Eagle cover from March 6, 1954

ON MARCH 6, 1954, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported, “San Juan, March 6 (UP) – Police besieged Nationalist leader Pedro Albizu Campos in his home today, while authorities elsewhere on the island began a roundup of 37 other ‘dangerous’ members of the fanatic minority party that shot up the U.S. Congress last Monday. A police squad led by Capt. Benigno Soto went to Albizu’s home before dawn to arrest him and was met by a burst of gunfire. No one was hit, but Soto ordered his men back out of the field of fire and settled down to take further action later. Police Chief Salvador T. Roig said the other 37 Nationalists were being rounded up in raids ‘all over’ this U.S. island. It was not certain how many actually had been arrested … Albizu is president of the party that staged an abortive revolt here in October 1950, tried to assassinate President [Harry] Truman early in November of that year, and injured five members of the U.S. House of Representatives in a terrorist attack Monday.”

Brooklyn Daily Eagle cover from March 7, 1940

ON MARCH 7, 1940, the Eagle reported, “The new British superliner Queen Elizabeth, largest ship afloat or ever built, strained at her anchor off Quarantine today, waiting for a rising tide before proceeding to her North River berth later this afternoon. She was expected to dock at 5 p.m., after moving into the harbor past watching crowds on adjacent shores in Brooklyn, Manhattan and New Jersey. The Queen Elizabeth came to an anchorage at Quarantine at 10:50 a.m., after a sensational dash across the Atlantic from the war zones of Europe through a submarine-infested ocean. Ten tugboats were obtained to “break” her into her resting place on the north side of Pier 90, North River, where she is to remain for the duration of the war … The Queen Elizabeth, unfinished and with the interior decorations still to be installed, arrived with a skeleton crew, no passengers and no cargo. She carried only enough lifeboats – 18 – for the crew. On board were few signs of life. The great ship, a fifth of a mile long, with her 12 decks terracing skyward, seemed to be on her own.”

Northfield Bank hosts ribbon cutting ceremony for its new branch in Brooklyn Heights

BY JOHN ALEXANDER JALEXANDER@BROOKLYNEAGLE. COM

B

ay Ridge resident Brian Chin, vice president and branch manager of Northfield Bank has been spending much more time in Brooklyn Heights these days.

With the official grand opening of a new Northfield branch at Court and State Streets on Saturday, March 2, Chin, along with Northfield Bank President and CEO Steven Klein, introduced Northfield’s unique personal services to the Heights.

Northfield Bank has been a popular fixture in Bay Ridge thanks to Chin, who serves on boards for almost every civic organization in the community. Chin will now also take on the role of vice president and branch manager of the new location at 112 Court Street.

It has certainly been a decade of Brooklyn growth for the Jersey-based company.

With 10 branches throughout the borough, Northfield continues to bring its own brand of banking expertise to neighborhoods in Brooklyn.

Chin was especially pleased with the turnout for the grand opening. “We organized this event with the business community and with not-for-profit groups as a brief introduction about Northfield Bank,” said Chin.

Northfield Bank was founded in 1887 with a mission of serving the financial needs of a community. “We are proudly continuing that

Ribbon being cut at Court Street branch of Northfield Bank grand opening. tradition today by staying true to our reputation of trust, respect and stability,” Chin explained. “We love to say that Northfield Bank was born in 1887 but was built for today.”

The grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony was made even more special with the awarding of checks to three noteworthy Brooklyn Heights not-forprofit organizations in the amount of $1,500 each. The checks were presented to the Brooklyn Heights Association, the New York Memory Center, and Heights and Hills.

The bank’s executive management team and staff attended the grand opening.

The event also featured face painting for the kids and prize giveaways.

welcomed Northfield Bank to the neighborhood by presenting it with a map of

“Brooklyn is hot and this is

of supporting businesses within the Brooklyn Heights community.”

New FX series, "Fosse/Verdon," films in Bay Ridge and Sunset Park

BY JOHN ALEXANDER JALEXANDER@BROOKLYNEAGLE. COM

F

ilming for the new FX television series “Fosse/Verdon” took place on Friday, Mar. 1 in Bay Ridge and Sunset Park.

Early in the day scenes were filmed in the Irish Haven bar on 57th Street and Fourth Avenue, transforming the popular Sunset Park watering hole into a deli. That evening, shooting moved to 97th Street and Fourth Avenue in Bay Ridge to film scenes at St. Patrick Catholic Academy.

The upcoming series stars Academy Award winning actor Sam Rockwell, who received an Oscar last year for his role in “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,” and and four-time Academy Award nominee Michelle Williams, who began her career on “Dawson’s Creek.”

The series, based on the biography “Fosse” by Sam Wasson, follows the professional and romantic relationship of acclaimed dancer, choreographer

Movie trucks arrive on Friday night to begin filming scenes for Fosse/ Verdon at St. Patrick Catholic Academy. and film director Bob Fosse, who is portrayed by Rockwell. Fosse’s second directorial effort won him an Academy Award for the movie “Cabaret.”

Fosse also choreographed the film version of “The Pajama Game” starring Doris Day, and he co-wrote and directed the semi-autobiographical 1979 film “All That Jazz.”

“Sweet Charity,” was the first film he directed in 1968 and it starred his thenwife Gwen Verdon played

by Williams in the series.

The 75-year-old Verdon is a four-time Tony Award winning actress and dancer who was married to Fosse from 1960 to 1987, though they had separated in 1971.

According to FX, the new series will focus on every aspect of Fosse and Verdon’s professional and personal relationship through the years. The eight-episode limited series marks the return to television for Williams, since “Dawson’s Creek” ended in 2003.

This is also a return to

television for Rockwell, in his first role since being nominated for Best Supporting Actor this year for his role as former President George W. Bush in the critically acclaimed film “Vice.”

The hall at St. Patrick Catholic Academy was transformed into a film set replicating a theater where the filming lasted late into the evening on Friday night.

Fosse/Verdon debuts on the FX channel on Tues., April 9.

A look at how Jumaane Williams won special election

BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

A

s Jumaane Williams settles into his new job as New York City’s public advocate, political junkies are pouring over the results of the Feb. 26 special election to see how the Brooklyn City Council member pulled off his big victory.

And it was big.

Williams, a Democrat who represented Flatbush, East Flatbush, Flatlands and parts of Midwood in the City Council, trounced his 16 opponents in the special election, putting up impressive numbers not just citywide, but also in his home borough of Brooklyn.

Williams took the lion’s share of votes in Brooklyn, winning 59,600 votes, according to the New York City Board of Elections. His closest rival in the borough was Republican Councilmember Eric Ulrich from Queens, who earned 22,278 votes.

Former council speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito came in third in Brooklyn with 10,676 votes.

Citywide, Williams came

out of election night with 33 percent of the vote total, easily outpacing Ulrich, who earned 19 percent. Williams garnered 133,809 votes to Ulrich’s 77,026.

As public advocate, Williams will be the chief watchdog over city government and will be the ombudsman on behalf of everyday New Yorkers. He will be able to introduce legislation in the council, but will not be able to vote on bills. He will have the power to file lawsuits on behalf of the city. The public advocate, whose annual salary is $184,800 a year, operates an office with a $3 million budget.

Williams succeeds Letitia James, who vacated the office when she won election as New York State attorney general in November.

Aside from Williams, Ulrich and Mark-Viverito, the candidates in the special election included: Brooklyn Councilmember Rafael Espinal, Brooklyn community activist Tony Herbert, Queens Assemblymember Ron Kim, Manhattan Councilmember Ydanis Rodriguez, Bronx Assemblymember Michael Blake,

Manhattan Assemblymember Daniel O’Donnell, investigative journalist Nomiki Konst, attorney Dawn Smalls, attorney Manny Alicandro, Columbia University Professor David Eisenbach, Greenwich Village Democratic District Leader Benjamin Yee, lawyer Jared Rich and former teacher Helal Sheikh. Brooklyn Assemblymember Latrice Walker was on the ballot but was not running an active campaign.

A closer look at the results from Brooklyn Assembly districts showed that Williams won big in the northern and eastern parts of the borough and had a strong showing in Central Brooklyn, while Ulrich did well in Southern and Southwest areas.

Williams won the 44th Assembly District (A.D.), which takes in parts of Park Slope and Windsor Terrace, earning 4,864 votes. Ulrich had 2,004 votes.

Williams won the 50th A.D. (Williamsburg-Greenpoint) with 2,125 votes while Mark-Viverito came in second in that district with 662 votes. Ulrich finished third

votes. Ulrich was a distant second with 857. The 53rd A.D. (parts of Bushwick-Williamsburg) handed him a victory with 1,798, more than 10 times the votes earned by Ulrich, who had 170. Williams had 1,281 votes in the 54th A.D. (parts of Bushwick-Cypress Hills).

Ulrich had 59.

In the 55th A.D. (Brownsville), Williams had 2,348 votes. Ulrich earned 59.

Williams also dominated in the 56th A.D. (Bed-Stuy), walking away with 4,771 votes. Ulrich had 86. Fort Greene and Clinton Hill, which make up the 57th A.D., came out for Williams, giving him 7,794 votes. Ulrich earned 154 votes in that district. The 58th A.D. (parts of Brownsville-Canarsie) saw Williams with 4,959 votes.

Ulrich trailed far behind with 64 votes.

In the 59th A.D. (Georgetown-Mill Basin-Gerritsen Beach) saw Williams come away with 2,858 votes to Ulrich’s 1,444.

The 60th A.D. (East New York) was a blowout for Williams, who earned 3,133 votes. Ulrich had 62.

In the 51st A.D. (Sunset Park), Williams garnered 1,696 votes, Mark-Viverito had 761 votes and Ulrich earned 438 votes.

Brooklyn Heights (52nd A.D.) turned out for Williams, giving him 7,494 votes, far more than Ulrich, who had 954 votes.

Williams won the 42nd A.D. (East Flatbush-Ditmas Park-parts of Flatbush) with 4,716 votes. Ulrich had 1,355. Williams easily took the 43rd A.D. (Crown Heights-Prospect-Lefferts Gardens), garnering 5,381

Williams in the 45th A.D. (Sheepshead Bay-Manhattan Beach-parts of Midwood), walking away with 2,282 votes. Williams came in distant second with 356 votes.

Ulrich also garnered more votes than Williams in the 46th A.D. (Coney Island-parts of Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights), 1,383 to 1,025.

Ulrich outpaced Williams in the 47th A.D. (Gravesend-parts of Bensonhurst), winning 868 votes. Williams did not finish second in this district, which contains a large population of Asian-Americans.

Yee came in second behind Ulrich with 571 votes.

In Borough Park’s 48th A.D., Ulrich won by a wide margin, earning 5,490 votes. Williams had 253 votes. Ulrich also won the 49th A.D. (parts of Bensonhurst-Dyker Heights-Sunset Park) with 722 votes to Williams’ 198.

The 64th A.D., which includes parts of Bay Ridge and Staten Island, was won

by Ulrich, who earned 623 votes. Williams had 362 votes.

Italian-American history is Brooklyn man’s passion

BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

W

hen Raymond Guarini was growing up in Bay Ridge, one his favorite places to eat was Cono’s, an Italian restaurant on Fifth Avenue. “My family used to eat there all the time. We had wonderful memories of great meals we had there.

But it closed a long time ago,” he told this paper.

As his favorite restaurants and shops started to close, Guarini, a 38-year-old brokerage firm managing director, started thinking about ways to document the past and boost Italian-American pride. “I realized that my kids would never know the beautiful neighborhood we grew up in,” he said.

So he started taking pictures of Brooklyn neighborhoods and talking to people about their memories of their favorite spots.

And so Italian Enclaves, a website for history buffs whose interests are rooted in the Mediterranean, was born.

Guarini has also taken it upon himself to study Italian-American communities across the U.S., how they formed, what life was like there and how they started to disappear.

Italian Enclaves has a Facebook page and an Instagram that has been known to break news. The group’s Facebook page was the first to report the news that Our

Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Academy in Bensonhurst would close. The school, which educated generations of children for 90 years, is slated to close in June.

Over the past six years, Guarini has visited approximately 75 Italian neighborhoods in big cities and small towns in the U.S. Guarini, who is a member of the National Italian-American Foundation, is also trying to build a network of like-minded people interested in the Italian-American experience in America.

There are hundreds of Italian-American communities in the U.S., largely stemming from an Italian migration to America that took place in the late 19th century.

In his research, Guarini found that the biggest common denominator he found in all of the Italian American communities is the Catholic Church. “A lot of these neighborhoods built up around the local church,” he said.

Another common denominator is the annual feast honoring a patron saint.

Streets would be closed to traffic, parishioners would march in processions and the aroma of Italian food would fill the air.

The feasts were important, according to Guarini, because they served as unifying events. “It would bring the entire community together,” he said.

Italian communities

almost always had funeral homes, he said. “It makes sense. Funeral homes usually opened near churches.

The churches had the funerals for their parishioners and the funeral homes handled the burial arrangements,” he said.

“The local bakery too, was a common denominator. It was used as a quid quo pro,” he said, explaining that immigrants would work in exchange for bread.

Little Italy is the most famous Italian neighborhood in America, but Guarini said East Harlem also had a large Italian population in the late 19th century.

Bensonhurst was perhaps the most well known Italian-American neighborhood in Brooklyn for many years.

Bensonhurst used to be a predominantly Jewish neighborhood. “The Italians started coming into Bensonhurst in the early 20th Century,” Guarini told this newspaper. A focal point was St. Rosalia Church, a small Catholic church at 14th Avenue and 63rd Street that was demolished a few years ago.

St. Athanasius Church on Bay Parkway and St. Finbar Church on Bay 20th St. were also power centers of Italian

Many Bensonhurst homeowners of Italian heritage take extra special care of the religious statues on their front lawns.

Raymond Guarini says Italian-American communities all across the country usually have a common denominator. life in Bensonhurst and Bath Beach.

One reason Bensonhurst b e c a me an Italian-American enclave was the GI Bill, according to Guarini. “With the GI Bill, people were

Despite the fact that Italians have moved out of Bensonhurst in recent years, there are still signs of a vibrant Italian life, such as the Tribuzio Meat Market and the Congrega San Vito Do Ciminna Club on 18th Avenue.

able to afford to buy homes,” he said.

Italians flocked to the neighborhood in the years after World War II, he said.

From the 1950s to the 1970s, “There were big waves of immigration to Brooklyn,” he said.

Many of the immigrants came from Bari, a port city on the Adriatic Sea, and from the Italian region of Calabria.

Another Italian-American enclave was Greenwich Village, specifically, the

While on a stroll, Raymond Guarini spotted an enduring sign of Italian-American life in a changing Bensonhurst – a religious statue lovingly placed by a homeowner in front of the house.

West Village. Community life centered around Our Lady of Pompeii Church.

According to the book “Bay Ridge Chronicles,” the 1950 U.S. Census showed that 50 percent of the population of Bay Ridge was Italian.

Other neighborhoods that welcomed Italians: Coney Island, where life centered on Our Lady of Solace Church, and Sunset Park, where the Italians gathered around St. Rocco’s Church on 20th Street between Fourth and Fifth avenues.

In recent years, Italian-Americans have moved out of Bensonhurst and Chinese immigrants have been moving in.

That is a common occurrence. Many formerly Italian areas are now predominantly Asian, Guarini said. “The trend is for Asians to move next door to Italians. They’re great neighbors,” he said.

Guarini is the founder of the Italian Enclave Historical Society. He is proud of his Bay Ridge roots. “I’m a big fan of local culture,” he said.

He attended P.S. 102 and Poly Prep Country Day School and earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management at St. Francis College.

OPINION Conservatives gather

I

traveled down to Washington twice last week for a variety of events including the Conservative Political Action Committee’s (CPAC) annual conference.

The conference is held in an area just over a bridge from the city called National Harbor. Developed in the past dozen years, National Harbor is a city of hotels and services in the support of hotels, and is the perfect place for a large conference.

This year’s CPAC, as has been the case for a number of years, attracted over 10,000 participants and literally filled the gigantic Gaylord National Hotel as well as every hotel, motel and Airbnb in the area.

Of the more than 10,000 participating, I am told that 5,000-6,000 were under the age of 26. You certainly got the sense of the large number of millennials in attendance in the main stage area or simply by walking

around the hotel’s ample public spaces and nearby streets.

The great interest in this conference was maximized this year by the vice president’s attendance on Friday and the president’s attendance on Saturday morning.

Although both caused havoc with the overall schedule, I doubt there is any event in the country in which you can hear from the vice president one day and the president the next.

The president, who was scheduled to be there for one hour, spoke for two, and no one was complaining.

President Trump seemed to be having a great time and I can say for certain, so were those in the room.

There was a large contingent of New York State Conservative Party members at the conference. The state party is the New York State affiliate of the American Conservative Union (ACU)

which hosts the CPAC. Many Brooklyn Conservatives were in attendance including Fran Vella-Marrone, Cartrell Gore and Nachman Mostofsky. Nachman was given the privilege of leading the opening prayer on Friday morning.

The great interest in this conference was maximized this year by the vice president’s attendance on Friday and the president’s attendance on Saturday morning.

I also ran into Brandon Washington and a group of Brooklyn Young Republicans who appeared to be having a great time.

On Friday night, Fran and I attended the Ronald Reagan dinner. As part of that program, White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney was interviewed by Matt Schlapp.

I have known John for many years, so it was a pleasure catching up. John has been covering the capital for several decades. Frankly, I wish someday I could interview him.

The evening ended with a fundraiser for Assemblymember Nicole Malliotakis’s congressional campaign given by several members of Congress including New York’s Lee Zeldin and Elise Stefanik.

Held at the Capitol Hill Club, literally feet from the building, the well-attended event likely raised many thousands of dollars. To that point, Nicole told me is going well.

Focus on Bay Ridge

By Charles F. Otey

De Blasio, Cuomo Want to Brag About Bringing in Thousands of Amazon-Type Jobs But They Do Nothing Except Overtax Endangered Small Businesses on Thoroughfares Like Our Own 3rd Ave.

“Kathy Wylde is the one person who could help bring about some financial justice before the crisis becomes a catastrophe and landlords are forced to convert commercial space to residential space along the Third Avenues of this fine city.”

While editorial writers, newscasters, business leaders and some elected officials bemoan the loss of Amazon and its costly $3 billion bargain that would have surely brought in 25,000 jobs, they might want to think about the disappearance of mom-andpop shops and other small businesses during the past several years.

These small brick-and-mortar businesses have created and fashioned neighborhoods that give even the big city a comfortable, nurturing, hometown feeling.

Recently on Third Avenue, the charming Paws Truly pet food store avoided closing by moving in with a very friendly and understanding neighbor in Appletree Natural Foods — only a few doors away on the avenue. This unique union reveals a deep determination among local businessowners to continue to operate on local thoroughfares that have developed friendly and sustaining connections with the surrounding neighborhood.

When we checked in this week, Deirdre Butler and her famous labradoodle Seamus were adjusting well thanks to the foresight of Appletree owner David Runyon. There’s another necessary party involved here: Nicholas the cat, who for the past few years has heartwarmingly occupied Appletree’s front window.

Nicholas, we’ve been assured, was happy

to welcome the Butlers and may have played more than a passive role — the same with Seamus — but that’s a story for another column.

De Blasio, Cuomo Value Numbers Over Neighborhood

Do Mayor Bill de Blasio and Gov. Andrew Cuomo really know what’s happening to thousands of stores that have defined neighborhoods in this city for decades?

Probably not, because to admit the close and vital connection they would have to acknowledge that an extraordinary number of small New York City businesses are either disappearing or shrinking because of that alluring, sucking sound typified by Amazon and other mass cyber marketeers.

Would it be asking too much to require Amazon to pay a subsidy to threatened small businesses like those imperiled on Third Avenue?

It would take a person of significant skills and knowledge of neighborhood and citywide life to step in and come up with a measure (a tax?) to stop or even stem this rampant ruination.

But wait, there’s someone who knows the value of solid commercial-residential neighborhoods and at the same time has a significant voice in determining whether Amazon does change its corporate mind and relocate in Queens.

Kathryn Wylde has received numerous awards over the years. In 2016 she was honored by the nonprofit agency Opportunities for a Better Tomorrow (OBT) and in 2017 she was named a Pioneer of Third Avenue.

She is pictured above with then-state Sen. Marty Golden (left) and Randy Peers, the former president and CEO of OBT. She is shown at right with Merchants of Third Avenue Executive Secretary and Pioneer Committee Chair Charles Otey.

Challenging Times Call For Extraordinary Woman

Based on our own extensive neighborhood experience, we can think of one person who could help bring about some financial justice before the crisis becomes a catastrophe and landlords are forced to convert commercial space to residential space along the Third Avenues of this fine city.

She is none other than Kathryn Wylde, head of the preeminent New York City Partnership. She has been very supportive of the Queens-based Amazon, but is a longtime former Bay Ridgeite who knows the community more completely than any other influential public figure (with the likely exception of New York City Building Congress President Carlo Scissura, who is a respected Bay Ridge homeowner and a longtime champion of local business partnering with local residents for the common good.)

Wylde Led Lutheran Medical Center to Prominence

When she came here back in the 1960s, fresh out of St. Olaf’s College, Wylde took over the public relations department of then-Lutheran Medical Center (LMC) to give LMC executives the kind of positive image and forwardlooking attitude it needed to survive and thrive in the very competitive hospital environment.

She impressed everyone she met and developed civic and political adherents. (She even did some vaudeville choreography with the Bay Ridge Entertainers, who raised thousands of dollars for the new Bay Ridge Ambulance and Volunteer Organization.)

Her imaginative and forceful (when needed) positions on various issues of the day — particularly discriminatory bank red-lining, which was preventing hundreds of Sunset Park residents from getting home insurance — established LMC as a vital and caring institution that was more concerned about the welfare of surrounding neighborhoods than with its own bottom line.

In fact, this writer had the good fortune to be at a bank boardroom table back in the day when LMC’s dynamic executive pinned the red-lining bankers to the wall — at regular meetings of lenders and community representatives that took place above then-Bay Ridge Savings & Loan on Fifth Avenue in Sunset Park.

“She knew more about red-lining than many of the bankers,” late community leader Tom Meagher told this writer. “She put the

bankers to shame.”

On her way up the LMC ranks, she got behind complex initiatives — such as the transfer of the entire LMC complex to spacious buildings that formerly housed the behemoth American Machine & Foundry.

Did she rest on her laurels? Of course not.

Next she spearheaded the building and development of the Shore Hill Senior Center.

Wylde has many other achievements, but for the past two decades she has been a powerful speaker and author, giving big business a voice in arenas like NPR where it badly needed to be recognized as a huge — but fair — player on the city’s economic landscape.

How About Funds to Speed Creation of New BIDS?

It’s no surprise that as president of the Partnership for New York City Wylde coauthored an open letter to Amazon’s CEO that appeared in last Friday’s New York Times. The letter reads in part: “Dear Mr. Bezos: New Yorkers do not want to give up on the 25,000 permanent jobs, 11,000 union construction and maintenance jobs, and $28 billion in new tax revenues that Amazon was prepared to bring to our state.”

We wish that, in the same letter, she would have asked Mr. Bezos to make some substantial gesture to help local stores avoid bankruptcy, because it’s impossible to compete with a commercial giant that can underprice and out-deliver others with ease.

One solid idea would be to underwrite more effectively new Business Improvement Districts like the one being established for Third Avenue by Merchants of Third Avenue President Bob Howe, who is making excellent use of a grant secured by Councilmember Justin Brannan. Substantial funding is needed to implement cutting-edge internet marketing programs designed to serve every business within the particular BID area.

Of course, we realize that Wylde’s official position calls for her 100 percent support of an Amazon return without any conditions attached, such as one requiring Amazon to consider the fate of thousands of local stores it would be sending into extinction.

But we continue to hope that she, along with Scissura and other business leaders, will help bring our small businesses into the 21st century. After all, small businesses are people too.

But we thought we would ask.

Residents to sound off at traffic safety town hall

BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

B

ay Ridge and Dyker Heights residents will get the chance to hear from top transportation officials what the city plans to do about the shockingly high number of car crashes taking place on local streets when a street safety town hall takes place on March 27.

New York City Transportation Commissioner Polly Trottenberg has been invited by Councilmember Justin Brannan, the organizer of the town hall, to speak at the meeting, which will take place on Wednesday, March 27, at P.S. 264, 371 89th St., from at 6 p.m.to 8 p.m.

Brannan, a Democrat who represents Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights and parts of Bensonhurst, once urged the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the New York Police Department (NYPD) to “send in the cavalry” to address the troublingly high numbers of car crashes and pedestrian injuries in his district.

New York Police Department (NYPD) officials will be on hand at the town hall to talk about their recent enforcement efforts to crack down on dangerous drivers.

And residents will be asked to give their opinions

on what the city should be doing.

“I am excited to host this town hall on traffic safety for many concerned residents,” Brannan told this newspaper. “Having a real, robust conversation about pedestrian safety in our community is long overdue.

It will be enlightening to hear what DOT and NYPD plan to do to counter reckless and unsafe driving, and I expect DOT and NYPD to learn a lot hearing about local issues and how residents feel they can best be addressed.”

Brannan added that his goal in hosting the town hall is “to make sidewalks and streets safer for everybody.”

U.S. Rep. Max Rose, state Sen. Andrew Gounardes and Assemblymember Mathylde Frontus, all of whom represent parts of Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights, are also sponsoring the March 27 town hall.

There were 3,312 car crashes in Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights between July 1, 2017, and June 30, 2018, 400 more than the average number of collisions in other Brooklyn neighborhoods during that same time period, according to Brannan, who got the statistics from the NYPD. Even more shocking, there were 17 car crashes within the confines of the 68th Precinct in the course

Councilmember Justin Brannan says the town hall he is organizing will offer a chance to “have a conversation” about possible solutions to car crashes on local streets. of a single day, Jan. 14, 2019, police said. The 68th Precinct covers Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights.

“It is unacceptable to have that many crashes in one day,” said Brannan shortly after the numbers were released.

Despite the success of Mayor Bill de Blasio’s Vision Zero initiative to reduce pedestrian injuries and fatalities, pedestrians still face danger simply by crossing the street, residents said.

Residents have reported seeing crashes ranging from simple fender-benders to accidents in which ambulances had to be called to treat injured victims.

Solving the problem could involve a combination of enforcement measures, re-configuring intersections and educating the public on the rules and regulations of the road, Brannan said.

Gounardes was so troubled by the statistics that he

formed a task force, called the Southern Brooklyn Pedestrian Safety Task Force, to take a close look at the situation and come up with suggestions on how to make the streets safer.

Meanwhile, Community Board 10 officials were so concerned about the number of crashes that Chairperson Doris Cruz took the rare step of forming a special subcommittee to study the problem. The community board represents the

interests of the residents of Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights in dealing with city agencies.

Among the subcommittee’s duties will be to study “problematic intersections” to see if any action by the DOT, such as traffic signal adjustments or new signage, is warranted, Board 10 District Manager Josephine Beckmann said.

“Our accident numbers are high,” Beckmann told this newspaper in January.
