Cardi B Gives Back in Gravesend, Hands Out Hundreds of Winter Coats at Marlboro Houses BY MEAGHAN MCGOLDRICK MMCGOLDRICK@ BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM

“I

t was lit in Marlboro today,” wrote Bronxborn rapper Cardi B on social media Thursday after handing out free winter coats to hundreds of residents and fans at Brooklyn’s Marlboro Houses in Gravesend. The giveaway took place on one of the coldest days of the season so far. The 26-year-old performer, who was given balloons and a cake from residents in celebration of her recent birthday, promised to be

back before the year’s end, with another stop planned for her home borough. The event took place at Marlboro’s community center, 2298 West Eighth St., as well as the Boost Mobile store across the street from the complex. Reports say all coats, and some shoes that were up for grabs, were donated with help from Trax NYC, Daniel’s Leather and NY Tent Sale. Cardi B, born Belcalis Almanzar, was also awarded a symbolic “key” to the Marlboro Houses. “I can’t even believe it,” the “Bodak Yellow” rapper told reporters of the gift. “I’m so honored.”

Golden, Gounardes Take Off the Gloves at BRCC Debate BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

n a debate that epitomized the bitterness of the campaign, Republican state Sen. Marty Golden and his Democratic opponent Andrew Gounardes went head to head in front of a raucous crowd at a Bay Ridge Community Council political forum Tuesday night, Oct. 23, trading barbs and seeking to gain an advantage with voters as Election Day draws closer. Gounardes and Golden fought over health care, immigration, LGBTQ rights and other issues during the debate, which took place in a packed auditorium at Xaverian High School on Shore Road. The boiling controversy over Golden’s refusal to fire campaign staffer Ian Reilly over Reilly’s invitation to alt-right Proud Boys leader Gavin McInnes to speak at the Metropolitan Republican Club also provided drama at the debate. “Hate has no place in our community,” said Gounardes, who has called on Golden to fire Reilly. “Are you calling him a white supremacist?” Golden asked Gounardes. Golden

said he will continue to employ Reilly on his campaign staﬀ. Gounardes’ supporters in the audience booed Golden over the Reilly comments while the incumbent’s supporters tried to shout them down. Prior to the debate, BRCC Vice President Ilene Sacco implored the audience to be civil. “Let’s keep the screaming to a minimum,” she said. But the audience did not heed her request, alternately shouting, booing and chanting the names of the two candidates who at times struggled to be heard over the din. Golden and Gounardes disagreed over nearly every issue that was put in front of them. In response to a question from the audience, both Golden and Gounardes expressed support for requiring health insurance companies to provide coverage for people with pre-existing medical conditions. Gounardes charged that Golden voted for a bill in 2009 that would have allowed insurance companies to drop the coverage of pre-existing conditions. “No one should be selling cupcakes to pay for cancer

Gounardes, who said he would be in favor of it, pointed to public safety as a reason to support the idea. ebrooklyn media/Photo by Paula Katinas “Whether we give people Andrew Gounardes and state Sen.

ideas don’t get us anywhere. It’s about new ideas to move the community forward,” he said, adding that his platform contains 19 proposals. Among his ideas: building a new specialized high school in Brooklyn, constructing a waterfront park in Bay Ridge and establishing a GI Bill-type of law for senior citizens. Golden is running for his ninth term in office representing the 22nd Senate District. He is the only Republican representing a Senate seat in Brooklyn. Gounardes, a lawyer and Bay Ridge civic leader, is currently on leave from his job as chief counsel to Borough President Eric Adams. The 22nd Senate District takes in parts of Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Bensonhurst, Gravesend, Manhattan Beach, Marine Park and Gerritsen Beach. Gounardes ran against Golden in 2012 and lost. Gounardes did receive more votes in the Bay Ridge portion of the district than Golden did, a result that impressed many political observers. Democrats have high hopes for ﬂipping the seat this time around. Election Day is Nov. 6.

Frontus, Saperstein Spar over Campaign Financing at BRCC Debate BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

emocrat Mathylde Frontus and Republican Steve Saperstein were the undercard in the Bay Ridge Community Council debate Tuesday night, appearing onstage long after the fireworks generated by state Sen. Martin Golden and opponent Andrew Gounardes, but the two Assembly candidates provided their own heat in a tense back-and-forth over campaign financing and other hot-button issues. Frontus and Saperstein are running in the Nov. 6 election to represent the 46th Assembly District, which runs from Bay Ridge to Coney Island and includes Dyker Heights, Seagate and parts of Brighton Beach. It is an open seat. The previous assemblymember, Democrat Pamela Harris, pleaded guilty to corruption charges and resigned from office in disgrace.

At one point during the debate at Xaverian High School, Saperstein sought to contrast himself and Frontus by accusing her of being a divider. “I’ve proven to be a uniter. You have proven to be a divider,” he told her. A short time later, Frontus accused Saperstein of misrepresenting the facts. “Mr. Saperstein, you can have your own opinion, but you can’t have your own facts,” she said. At another point, Frontus said “my head is spinning,” after listening to an answer Saperstein gave to a question about over-development in Coney Island and other neighborhoods. Saperstein defended real estate developers, saying that they usually include affordable housing units in the residential buildings they construct. “If you are a developer, you will make sure there is affordable housing. You have to have responsible development,” he said.

“It may be true that a lot of developments have affordable housing. But not all of them do,” Frontus answered. Frontus said that she does not accept campaign contributions from political action committees (PACs) or from real estate developers because “a lot of strings are attached.” But Saperstein questioned her connection to a political consultant who he said had ties to the real estate industry. “Is he on your payroll?” Saperstein asked Frontus. Answering a question about legalizing marijuana for recreational use in New York State, Saperstein said he is opposed to the idea. “I am not for it. We have drug dealers peddling poison to our children,” he said. Frontus said the issue is worth exploring. At the very least, marijuana should be decriminalized, she said. She also decried what she said is a double standard when it comes

Audience members shouted down Frontus and Saperstein at several points during the debate. Their supporters, meanwhile, shouted down the naysayers and demanded that the candidates be allowed to ﬁnish their statements. Frontus, a Coney Island

resident with a PhD from Columbia University, is a social worker by training. She is the founder of Urban Neighborhood Services, a social services agency. She also started a program to help military veterans, created an LGBT Outreach project and organized the group Coney Island College Bound, which oﬀers free SAT prep for high school students. Saperstein, who lives in Brighton Beach, is a special

needs teacher. Saperstein, whose parents and younger brother are deaf, said sign language was his first language. Saperstein is a community activist who belongs to UJA Federation of NY, Brooklyn First Responders for Addiction and the Brooklyn Hebrew Society for the Deaf among other organizations. The legal travails of Harris came up during the debate. Saperstein expressed support for the Public Official Accountability Act, which he said would crack down on corrupt public officials. “Every single year, the Assembly votes this down,” he said. Frontus said the seat in the 46th A.D. “has been tainted” by the actions of Harris and her predecessor, Democrat Alec BrookKrasny, who was indicted in a separate case. But Frontus added that she was running for office “out of righteous anger” to restore a sense of civility.

Maimonidesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 12th Annual Ride2Live Breaks Records, Raises $40K for Breast Cancer Center BY MEAGHAN MCGOLDRICK MMCGOLDRICK@ BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM

he 12th annual Ride2Live hit the pavement on Sunday, Oct. 14 to help raise awareness for breast cancer and funds for the Maimonides Breast Cancer Center.

The beneďŹ t is led â&#x20AC;&#x201D; both ďŹ guratively by organizing and literally by bike â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by Dr. Patrick Borgen, chair of the Department of Surgery at Maimonides and director of the center. Borgen, a proud motorcycle rider himself, led the tour, which kicked off at the Gilbert Rivera Pavilion (home to the center), 745 64th St., and ended at MCU Park, 1904 Surf Ave., through the streets of Brooklyn.

More than 400 pink-clad bikers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; nearly double the turnout from previous years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; traversed through the boroughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most scenic neighborhoods, all with police escort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a record turnout for our Ride2Live this year, and what a great testament that is to the overwhelming

support of the entire borough of Brooklyn,â&#x20AC;? said Borgen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Events like this ensure that we are getting the word out to as many people as possible that world-class cancer care is available right here in Brooklyn.â&#x20AC;? Borgen started Ride2Live in 2006 to raise

NO KIDS HURT AFTER DYKER SCHOOL BUS CRASH; DRIVER DEAD AFTER CARDIAC EPISODE BY JAIME DEJESUS

BY MEAGHAN MCGOLDRICK

JDEJESUS@BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM

MMCGOLDRICK@BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM

63-year-old man driving a school bus with children inside died after losing control of his bus in Dyker Heights. Police sources say that on Thursday, October 18 at around 7:28 a.m., Dyker Heights resident Kam Po Lau was driving a school bus when he started to have a cardiac episode. The bus -- on which seven children ages 10 to 12 were riding -- then rolled into a parked car at 71st Street and 12th Avenue. Lau was alert and conscious when he was rushed by EMS to Maimonides Medical Center, said the police source, who told this paper that Lau died at Maimonides. None of the children was injured. The investigation is ongoing by the NYPD’s Collision Investigation Squad.

BAY RIDGE OFFICER GIVEN COP OF MONTH HONORS FOR HELPING ARREST MAN THREATENING EX-WIFE BY JAIME DEJESUS JDEJESUS@BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM

68th Precinct police officer received Cop of the Month honors for September for helping to apprehend a man who had allegedly threatened his ex-wife. According to Captain Robert Conwell, the victim told P.O. Hassan Gheith on Tuesday, September 25 that she was scared for her life and that her ex-husband had a gun

in his home.

When it was executed, officers found numerous firearms, high capacity magazines and a large quantity of a controlled substance. “As of result of P.O. Gheith’s collaborative effort, we have protected a member of our community from further trauma of domestic violence and have taken firearms off the streets of Bay Ridge,” said Conwell.

Chair Chuck Otey welcomed elected officials, community leaders, honorees and their families to a memorable evening celebrating commitment to the community. The Pioneer event, Howe said, was originally conceived by Otey as a way to “recognize merchants on the avenue who distinguish themselves by being able to stay in business for a long period of time.” Otey called the event “a tribute to the volunteer spirit of our community” and praised the dedication of Howe, event Co-Chair Lori Pedone and Treasurer Brian Chin. According to Howe, around 400 businesses on the avenue employ

from one to 20 people. He referred to Third Avenue as “a small little economic engine of its own.” He said that along with Pioneers, civic awards are presented “to those who’ve made a diﬀerence in Bay Ridge life.” Howe and Otey themselves were presented with a special award for originating the Pioneer event and for 25 years of exemplary service to the community. The Larry Morrish Community Service Award was presented to Chin, VP branch manager at Northﬁeld Bank. The award was named for Morrish, the late beloved civic leader who wholeheartedly promoted Bay Ridge. “It was an honor and

Sixth Cancer Can’t Kill Love Continues to Lift Spirits, Raises Nearly $24k BY JAIME DEJESUS JDEJESUS@BROOKLYNREPORTER. COM

or the sixth time, the Cancer Can’t Kill Love Benefit Concert brought people from near and far together for the common goal of raising awareness and money to help fight the disease. Held on Saturday, Oct. 13 at a new venue, the Gjøa Club, 850 62nd St., the fullday event featured live music, drinks, food, more than 50 raffle prizes, merch sales and -- above all -- between 400 and 500 friends, family and neighbors bonding. Cancer Can’t Kill Love began in November, 2013, following the death of Managing/Digital Editor of The Home Reporter and Brooklyn Spectator Meaghan McGoldrick’s mother, Joanne, who succumbed to Acute Myeloid Leukemia just five years after McGoldrick’s father, John Patrick “Butch” McGoldrick, died of asbestos-triggered lung cancer brought on by his work at Ground Zero. This year, the benefit raised an impressive $23,953 (as of Thursday) with the bulk of the donations going to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) with a small gift for the Dear Jack Foundation. In addition, almost $300 was raised for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s (AFSP) Out of the Darkness Walk, which Cancer Can’t Kill Love team members will participate in on Sunday, Oct. 21. Since its inception, Cancer Can’t Kill Love has raised nearly $80,000 for the fight against cancer. “None of us have any words for Saturday’s success,” said McGoldrick. “We’re still trying to find them, but when you exceed your own expectations, it’s pretty hard. Never in a million years did we think year six would go so smoothly, never mind that we would raise so much money. Cancer Can’t Kill Love takes a village and this victory is all thanks to that group of people.” Volume six included letter-writing for pediatric patients at MSKCC, the Dear Jack Foundation and

10-year-old Emily Mitchell, a Bay Ridge student facing fanconi anemia, as well as onsite sign-up for Be the Match, the global leader in bone marrow transplantation which, since first working with Cancer Can’t Kill Love in 2017, has already made at least one match. Team member Mike O’Neil called the day a huge success. “For me this event means so much more than Photos by Cait McCarthy raising money for cancer,” he Tyler Conroy performs at the Sixth Annual said. “It’s about Cancer Can’t Kill Love Benefit Concert. being a part of something bigger to do everything we While everything went wanted to and then than myself.

Fort Hamilton High School Pool to Reopen after a Year of Renovations

By Meaghan McGoldrick INBrooklyn

Float on. After an extended hiatus for renovations to its HVAC and boiler, the Fort Hamilton High School pool – a mainstay for both student athletes and local swimming groups – will finally reopen next month, Councilmember Justin Brannan told this paper Tues., Oct. 24. “It’s official,” the pol said, noting that the School Construction Authority (SCA), the group behind the overhaul of the school’s Tom Greene Natatorium, has promised him that “Kids will be swimming by November 12 the latest.” The pool’s closure in June, 2017 had a ripple effect on groups across the borough which called the Ridge natatorium home. These include the Bay Ridge Aquatics Institute (BRAINS), a non-profit organization founded by the pool’s namesake, Tom Greene, that deals in swim-centered programs and life-saving education that, in April of this year, launched a

GoFundMe to stay afloat long enough to see the completion of the pool’s renovation without additional funding. The displacement, the group contended, had left BRAINS incapable of offering its educational programs – which, officials stressed in the group’s online fundraiser, generate the subsidy to keep its USA swim team, “The Harbor Seals,” affordable for all. The group also offers an array of lesson programs as well as American Red Cross Lifeguard, CPR and Water Safety Instructor Training. The pool’s renovation was originally slated for completion in July of this year but a source said the project was pushed back to allow for an upgrade to LED lighting for the pool area. The Department of Education forwarded to this paper an email sent to those who use the pool. It says, “SCA has informed us that the pool construction at Fort Hamilton High School is on target to end at the start of November, 2018. The only delay we foresee could be with in-

spections which we do not have any control.” Given that, the email notes, DOE is “accepting permit applications for the remainder of the fall term,” with spring pool requests accepted beginning in December. Users will be informed of any delays, the email says. In addition, the email notes that the same schedules “that were in effect before the close of the pool” will remain in effect “through the spring term of 2019,” with a review of usage scheduled for fall, 2019, and groups notified of any availability. Greene expressed delight that the work is finally nearing completion. “We’re all looking forward to returning,” he told this paper. “The Harbor Seals swim team and the various community groups that use it after school had to look for other places to swim so they’re going to be happy to come back and have their own pool. We’re all very happy.” Brannan is also glad to see the revamp taking its final lap.

“I really wanted to make a big splash during my first year as your new councilman and what better way than to get this done! While I know this has been a long, frustrating wait for all the swimmers who have been displaced, I am excited to see the improved Fort Hamilton High School pool,” he said. “We all want the Tom Greene Natatorium to be around so generations of swimmers can enjoy it so I think these repairs and renovations will ultimately be worth the wait.” The pool opened in 1993, after an uphill battle by Greene to get it constructed. Before his advocacy, Fort Hamilton High School’s swim team had to go elsewhere for practices and competitions and – as evident during the pool’s brief hiatus – swim groups the likes of BRAINS (formed in conjunction with the birth of the pool) had no place else to go.

Midwood Stings Fort Hamilton for the Win BY JIM DOLAN

I.S. 259 Family cordially invites you to our

MIDWOOD 28 FORT HAMILTON 6 Looking for an opportunity to go above .500, the eighth place 3-3 Fort Hamilton Tigers hosted the fourth place 5-1 Midwood Hornets, another top-tier PSAL team that has built its program up to be a top contender over the past four years. The opportunity for a win started out quickly for the Tigers as CeVon Marshall returned the opening kickoff on an explosive 75-yard dash to the Midwood five-yard line. From the five, a scrambling Marquis Willoughby found an open Marshall in the end zone for an early 6-0 lead. Going up against a team that had scored 30 points in the first half of last week’s

game, the Tigers had their hands full to stop the Hornet offense on their next possession. Nonetheless, the Tiger defense proceeded to hold the Hornets scoreless by making two critical stops on fourth down within their own 20-yard line for two turnovers on downs to end the first half with a slim 6-0 lead. On their first possession to open the second half, Hornet quarterback Michael Pierre Bernard shocked the Tigers with a 50-yard touchdown pass to Elyh Fennell to tie the game at 6-6 to start the scoring for Midwood. Once again, the Tiger defense stopped another Hornet drive on a Joseph Kaplan interception. However, once the Hornets regained the

ball, Jakai McKay made a diving catch in the end zone on a 20-yard pass to put the Hornets ahead 14-6 at the end of the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Hornets continued to hold the Tigers scoreless and revved up their offense to put the game away on Tyler Bartholomew’s 15-yard run and Tyrese Weeks’s two-yard plunge into the end zone for the 28-6 Midwood win. “This game is something for us to build on,” said Fort Hamilton Coach Dan Perez to his team in the post-game huddle after playing another (6-1) top-ranked team. “There’s a lot of season left and time for us to still improve.” Next week the 3-4 Tigers will host 0-7 Flushing, a team in the rebuilding process.

Retired Assistant Principal Revamps Waterfront Lab Plan BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

Thomas Greene is launching his Plan B. Unfazed by the failure of his dream to have the city build a marine science lab on a Revolutionary-era wharf at the foot of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, Greene, a retired Fort Hamilton High School assistant principal, is adjusting his proposal. Greene is now taking his proposal off the wharf and is setting his sights on a piece of property near the wharf to build what he is calling a “Marine EcoLab.” The idea is to set up a “Science on Shore” program to provide an educational facility where students can study “the perils of pollution and the need to learn about alternative energy to counter the looming menace of global warming,” Greene said in a statement. In addition to serving as an assistant principal, Greene taught science at Fort Hamilton High School for many years. His previous proposal involved building a marine science lab on Denyse Wharf, a pier dating back to the 18th

Greene envisioned a waterfront lab where students from all over the city could come and conduct waterfront experiments and study marine life. Despite early support from state Sen. Marty Golden, who

provided funding for a feasibility study in the 1990s, and the fact that the U.S. Army had expressed willingness to lease the pier to the city for educational purposes for $1 a year, the marine science lab idea never took off. Among the obstacles was rejection of the proposal by the New York City Department of

Education. At one point, he announced that he was changing his plan and would seek to construct the marine science lab on a barge off Denyse Wharf, not on the wharf itself. Still, he found no takers. But Greene kept on advocating. He organized an ad-hoc group called Friends of Denyse

Wharf and organized twice yearly clean-ups of the pier, bringing in groups of students to clear the area of old tires, seaweed and other types of debris to show officials that he was serious. The most recent clean-up took place on Oct. 14. Dozens of volunteers cleared away driftwood, plastics, glass, old

tires and scrap metal. The city’s Department of Environmental Protection provided Greene with a dumpster in which to place the trash. Greene said his new dream spot, just off Denyse Wharf, falls under the jurisdiction of the New York City Parks Department, although the Army’s permission would be required to set foot on the nearby beach. “The Marine EcoLab will provide students with inquiry-based hands-on lab activities related to these real-world problems, while at the same time giving them the lab skills and knowledge needed for success in the later grades,” Greene stated. Greene and the Friends of Denyse Wharf have submitted a new proposal to Community Board 10, local elected officials, Mayor Bill de Blasio, the Parks Department and the Department of Education. Bay Ridge residents might remember Greene as the man who advocated for the construction of an indoor pool at Fort Hamilton High School for many years. He faced an uphill fight in that effort, too. But the pool was built. It opened two decades ago and is named the Thomas F. Greene Natatorium.

Art ENCHANTÉ: IS THIS THE REAL LIFE, OR IS THIS MULTIPLICITY? Designed as a rolling installation, ‘Enchanté’ is a curated, immersive exhibit that explores the idea of multiplicity and takes the observer into a realm with repeated designs, collaborative projects between artists, and sequential images. A residential interior complete with a living room, master bedroom and bathroom, the install is set inside a 53ft long freight truck belonging to moving experts, Liffey Van Lines. Enchanté’s detailed representation of a contemporary, and livedin home nestled within a brutalist mechanical exterior, plays with the juxtaposition of reality and unexpected reality. As you turn the corner and see what appears to be a freight truck, your focus is suddenly

sequestered by an open portal into someone’s home. When: Thursday-Sunday, October 25th – October 28th, Where: Williamsburg/The William Vale (111 N 12th St) FIVE CENTS TO DREAMLAND: A TRIP TO CONEY ISLAND This special exhibition brings together highlights from both permanent collections to explore Coney Island’s history from a new and unique perspective. When: Saturdays & Sundays through December, Saturday: 12 – 6 p.m., Sunday: 2 – 6 p.m. Where: Coney Island/ Coney Island Museum (1208 Surf Avenue) ANNE PEABODY A site specific installation by Anne Peabody. When: Daily through January 4th, 2019 Where: DUMBO/Main Window (One Main Street) COMMORANCY Featuring contemporary photographs utilizing

architecture across a range of visual and theoretical concepts. Artists include Niv Rozenberg, Krisa Svalbonas, David Trautrimas, Joana P. Cardozo, Odette England, Diane Meyer and Ben Marcin. When: WednesdaysSaturdays through October 26th, 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. Where: DUMBO/Klompching Gallery (89 Water Street) BROOKLYN BEFORE PHOTOGRAPHS, 1971– 1983 An exhibit of 18 South Brooklyn photographs selected by Joseph and Audrey Anastasi from the 126 images in Mr. Racioppo’s new book. These new digital prints express a cross section of the ongoing themes in Larry’s work – family, neighborhood, and religion. He scanned and printed over six hundred of his earliest 35mm and 120mm black and white negatives for this project. When: Thursdays-Sundays through October 27th, 1 – 5 p.m. Where: Sunset Park/Tabla Rasa Gallery (224 48th Street) BLANKET STATEMENTS A group exhibition of three contemporary Native American women abstract artists — Gina Adams, Maria Hupfield, and Marie Watt — organized in collaboration

When: Wednesdays-Sundays through October 27th, 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. Where: DUMBO/Minus Space (16A Main Street) JON HENRY: STRANGER FRUIT In response to the endemic murder of African-American men at the hands of authorities, Jon Henry’s photographs turn to the mothers of the communities, to the women who must endure the senseless loss and carry on. His ongoing project, Stranger Fruit, examines the motherson relationship as a manifestation of the lasting effects of the fear of losing one’s loved ones. Henry photographs mothers alone and holding their son(s) in the classic pietà pose— that of the grieving Virgin Mary cradling the dead Christ—to explore the love, tenderness, and resilience of African-American families in the face of violence and heartbreak. Although the photographs do not document real incidents they evoke the ever-present possibility of loss to police violence. When: Daily through October 28th, Mon – Fri 8 a.m. – 6 p.m., Sat – Sun -10 a.m. – 6 p.m. Where: Fort Greene/BRIC House Hallway (647 Fulton Street)

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. When: Daily Through October, 12 – 9 p.m. Where: Greenpoint/Exhibit Salon (182 Driggs Avenue) THE BRIDGE THE BRIDGE The Bridge! The Bridge!, Robert Latchman’s first solo exhibition at LAND Gallery, as a title encapsulates the commanding effect the Brooklyn Bridge has on this artist’s work. Latchman’s fascination with the Brooklyn Bridge began a few years ago. Since then, the bridge has served as his main subject, completely capturing the artist’s focus.

The Brooklyn Bridge is not his only subject, but it is a dominating one; the work evokes permanence, construction, and calls attention to the history of place. When: Mondays-Fridays through October 30th, 8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. Where: DUMBO/Land Gallery (67 Front Street) Traitor Muscle A New Commission and the first major solo exhibition in New York by Joseph Buckley. The artist’s practice centers on the relationship between grief and postcolonialism. Against a backdrop of contemporary fascism, Buckley employs a range of visual and cultural references—from sci-fi to modernism to Doc Martens to slave ships to Amazon’s factory floor—asking us to deeply consider society’s divisions and fractures, using the medium of sculpture to investigate the psychic technologies that enable them. When: Tuesdays-Saturdays through November 3rd, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. Where: DUMBO/Art In General (145 Plymouth Street) ROBERT CUMMINGS New drawings from polymath artist Robert Cumming. Cumming’s nudes imply a compelling yet elusive narrative informed CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

In responding to their mandate, 2018 Council Members analyzed how concepts of “us” and “them” lead to stereotypes of immigrants and considered how race and immigration have intersected differently across eras. They sought to strike a delicate balance

between the range of immigrant experiences across time, culture, and individual life trajectories. Council members grappled with ongoing, unifying themes related to living away from the land of one’s birth— language, cultural fluidity, code switching, and American immigration law and policing. The resultant exhibition, Brooklyn: A New Home, a New Life, features stories about historical Brooklynites: Harriet Judson, John Roebling, Nathan Handwerker, and Shirley Chisholm, as well as Ravi Ragbir, a contemporary immigration activist. The people featured are not all immigrants, but each represent a different lens into the story of American immigrants, and show, without a doubt, how Brooklyn has been shaped by the many international ties within its vibrant and varied communities When: Wednesdays-Sundays through May 2019, 12 – 5 p.m. Where: Brooklyn Heights/ Brooklyn Historical Society (128 Pierrepont Street)

Theatre for Kids Families Opens in Park Slope Savarese Italian Pastryand Shoppe is Celebrating its 100th Anniversary By John Alexander INBROOKLYN

Play Nice Theatre has begun its season of lighthearted musicals with positive, life-affirming messages about cooperation and kindness. And they’re looking for their July/August cast, musicians, and backstage helpers. Relocated from Manhattan, this all-volunteer company’s rehearsals and meetings reflect their mission and message by encouraging its mixed-generation cast and crew (ages 6 to 106) to interact socially and share stories of their own lives on and off stage. In a welcoming atmosphere, the experienced and new Play Nice actors and crew are encouraged to come early and linger after assigned rehearsal slots in order to get to know each other, help each other memorize their lines, do school homework and play games. Some may choose to help with scenery painting or prop-making. All ticket sales from main stage shows ($10 admission) is donated to local charities, a prime motivation for many participants who find it rewarding to help raise money for those less fortunate through donating their time and talent. According to theatre founder Rob Lester, the cast and crew are like a second family. “Working on a show with

friendly people is fun and satisfying,” he says. The Brooklyn Eagle stopped by the new location at 89 Fourth Avenue, ﬁve blocks from Barclays Center, where the two-act musical “The Three Little Pigs Buy a Brownstone in Brooklyn” is running on weekends (2 p.m. Saturdays, 3:30 p.m. Sundays, through July 1). The Eagle is mentioned prominently in the Brooklyn-centric script in Scene 6 and the newspaper is used as a prop as well. The show’s target audience is ages six and up, with plenty of humor adults will appreciate. “Two six-year-olds are among the actors, with the oldest member more than ten times their age, and the family idea is reﬂected literally: the cast includes two brothers who play two of the pigs; a mother and her son have a scene together as an older pig

and hedgehog; two actors are cousins,” we’re informed. Original lyrics are set to public domain melodies including old folk songs and classic children’s tunes. The show, which emphasizes “being a good neighbor,” plus patience, perseverance, and pig puns runs through July 1, will be followed by show after show, starting with the summer musical about kids and counselors at an unusual summer camp, titled “Not a Happy Camper.” The theatre welcomes audition appointments, visits, donations of costumes and supplies, and all inquiries throughout the year. Acting classes, puppet shows, concerts, one-day free workshops, variety shows, and special family events are planned and a fundraising concert on July 20. For more details, show times, tickets, and contact information, go to www.PlayNicePeople. com.

If you stop by Savarese Italian Pastry Shoppe between November 3 and 10, you can join in the celebration of its 100th anniversary. For 100 years, Savarese, located at 5924 New Utrecht Avenue in Bensonhurst, has been baking some of the finest pastries in Brooklyn. The business was established in 1918 when the Savarese family emigrated from Naples, Italy, bringing with them their traditional love of Italian baking. Soon their reputation grew thanks to the quality and artistry of their baked creations. In 1962 the Giura family took over the bakery. They also boast a rich Italian heritage, coming from Venosa, a town in Basilicata, Italy. From the moment they took over, the family was dedicated and committed to creating a product line of handcrafted bakery products in the tradition of old-world Italy such as homemade sfogliatelle and cannoli, as well as gelato using only the finest ingredients. “All of our baking is done on the premises with recipes passed down from generation to generation,” owner and master pastry chef Mario Giura told this paper. Giura oversees all aspects of the bakery’s product line. After serving in the U.S. Army for three

years, and being stationed in Korea for two years, Giura had the option of going back to school or returning to work at the bakery. Giura chose tradition and has spent his career dedicated to ensuring the quality of all the product lines found at Savarese Italian Pastry Shoppe. Giura believes that Savarese’s products look as good as they taste because they use only the freshest and finest ingredients available. Among Savarese’s many specialties are cassata al forno, Italian cheesecake, Tiramisu, amaretti, struffoli, rococo, marzipan and fig cookies. The shop is also renowned for its wedding cakes and special occasion cakes, gelato cakes, Italian biscuits and cookie trays. It does shipping and also serves coffee, cappuccino and espresso. “This is a family owned bakery where my wife along with my sons and daughter play a big part in running the business,” Giura said. “It would not have been possible to be here still without their support and sacrifices.” Giura is proud of his bakery’s reputation, especially during the 56 years his family has been involved. “Through the years I never dreamed that it would be possible to celebrate this 100th anniversary,” he said.

Eye on BAY

RIDGE

ABOVE: Here's a glimpse of 8311 Ridge Blvd. See next page.

BAY RIDGE: HOW IT GOT ITS NAME 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 VerrazzanoNarrows 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 sena-

tor and founder and editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, built his estate along that ridge. The area originally attracted the wealthier residents, but after the Fourth Avenue 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 Street 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. —Norm Goldstein

Come Stroll Down Ridge Boulevard Handsome Houses and Historic Churches Line This Bay Ridge Thoroughfare By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn

By Lore INBrooklyn

From highway to harbor, Ridge Boulevard is a fine street for a stroll. Take a walk down this boulevard, and you’ll see a representative slice of Bay Ridge’s housing stock. There are massive old mansions, modest modern rowhouses and numerous options in between those two extremes. There are classic mid-rise apartment buildings, too. As a bonus, you’ll encounter historic churches and schools. We decided to show you Ridge Boulevard because over the years, we’ve devoted lots of attention to glam Shore Road, quirky cul-de-sacs and other eye-catching parts of the neighborhood. Ridge Boulevard is full of Instagram-worthy properties, too. If you don’t live in Bay Ridge, you’ll find the most entertaining way to get to the shoreline southwest Brooklyn neighborhood is by riding the NYC Ferry. As you probably know, the ferry dock’s located at the 69th Street Pier, which is formally known as the American Veterans Memorial Pier. From the pier, you walk three blocks on Bay Ridge Avenue, which is the equivalent of 69th Street, and you’ll find Ridge Boulevard. You’re just a few blocks away from the beginning of the boulevard at Wakeman Place, which runs beside the Belt Parkway. That’s the highway we were referring to a minute ago. On the other side of the highway, in Sunset Park, Ridge Boulevard becomes Second Avenue. There are eye-catching houses on the Ridge Boulevard blocks near Wakeman Place.

For instance, on the corner of 67th Street, you’ll see big, beautiful old homes that look Victorian with some modern flourishes. They include 6660 Ridge Blvd., 6654 Ridge Blvd. and a pair of semi-detached houses with porches at 6648-6650 Ridge Blvd.

FINE FLEURS AND HILLTOP HOMES

One of the neighborhood’s prettiest Victorian houses is on the next block near the corner of Senator Street. The house at 6713 Ridge Blvd. has sharply peaked roofs and a porch on its second floor. Instead of being a private home, it’s actually part of St. Andrew the Apostle Roman Catholic Church. The parish was created in 1971, which is the year the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn bought the lovely house from Helga Karlsen, city Finance Department records indicate. After you see these old-fashioned homes, continue south on Ridge Boulevard through the heart of the neighborhood towards the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. The boulevard dead-ends at Shore Road, which overlooks New York Harbor. There are lots of lovable houses. To name just a few, there’s a set of splendid old homes with double-decker porches on the corner of 80th Street, starting with 7924-7926 Ridge Blvd. Also, we love the butter-yellow stucco house with a big porch at 8223 Ridge Blvd. on the corner of 83rd Street. Even in October, golden flowers on tall stalks bloom at the edge of the green lawn surrounding the house. There’s a dignified hilltop home at 8311 Ridge Blvd. on the corner of 84th Street. The house on the opposite corner, 8320 Ridge Blvd., is beautifully landscaped. There are charming rowhouses on numerous blocks, for instance on Ridge Boulevard and the corner of 90th Street, where two lion statues stand on fence posts.

A CHURCH FROM THE 1890S STANDS TALL

Another remarkable house of worship is farther down the street at 7915 Ridge Blvd. It looks a bit like a storybook illustration of an English country church. It was called Bay Ridge Reformed Church when the cornerstone was laid in 1896. Now it’s known as the Union Church of Bay Ridge. A New York Landmarks Conservancy posting identifies Arthur Bates Jennings as the architect of the Romanesque Revival stone and wood structure and says it has a Tiffany Studios stained-glass window. The church is on the corner of 80th Street.

A 19TH-CENTURY ‘HOME FOR INEBRIATES’

On a hilltop on the corner of 86th Street you’ll see the dramatic building that houses nonsectarian Adelphi Academy. We keep mentioning hilltops because there are lots of hilly lawns in Bay Ridge. The academy, which was established in 1863, is one of America’s oldest continuing co-ed schools, its website notes. Adelphi’s address is 8515 Ridge Blvd. A few blocks away, you’ll see a century-old Italian neoRenaissance chapel at Visitation Academy. The Catholic girls’ school is at 8902 Ridge Blvd. In a posting on the Hidden Waters Blog, writer Sergey Kadinsky says the academy’s 7.5-acre site was originally the Kings County Home for Inebriates. The charter for the state-funded alcoholics’ asylum was revoked in 1898, Kadinsky writes. Nuns moved there in 1903 and turned the property into a convent and school.

BAY RIDGE: BRIEF HISTORY

REMEMBER ELIPHALET W. BLISS?

On your stroll down the boulevard, you’ll notice Christ Church Bay Ridge, which is on the corner of 73rd Street. Ecclesiastic architects Ralph Cram and Bertram Goodhue designed the distinguished stone building at 7301 Ridge Blvd., which was constructed in 1909, the church’s website says. Money donated by a prominent industrialist of that era, Eliphalet W. Bliss, helped fund the construction project. Before that, the congregation had worshiped at a smaller church at another address. E.W. Bliss Co. had factories in what is now DUMBO — for instance at 51 Jay St., which underwent a condo conversion a couple years ago. Bliss lived in a Bay Ridge estate called Owl’s Head. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because he left the property to the City of New York and it’s now Owl’s Head Park.

Straddled by the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway and boosted over New York harbor, Bay Ridge has a history that 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 Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, in opposition to Bay Ridge residents, 8,000 of whom were displaced for construction. The bridge has since become a neighborhood icon for the widely diverse population. —Norm Goldstein

RIDGE

By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn

Money can’t buy me love. So what? A house with a yard and a garage in Bay Ridge would be far better. Love’s evanescent, a fancy that can evaporate in an instant. But a house in Bay Ridge will be a thing of beauty — a valuable thing — for a long time. If you’ve been living under a rock and therefore don’t know your way to this southwest shoreline Brooklyn neighborhood, it’s the one where the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge is located. Note that the bridge’s name is now spelled with two Zs because of legislation recently signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo. For a half-century, it had been spelled with one Z. Anyway. We dug up some details from city Finance Department records about recent Bay Ridge property sales to give you an idea of how much neighborhood homes cost these days.

A HOUSE WITH A SWIMMING POOL

• A married couple bought a standalone house at 8220 Colonial Road for $2.6 million, Finance Department records indicate. The sellers had purchased it for $1.6 million in 2006. The property is on the corner of 83rd Street. According to a listing by House-N-Key, which brokered the sale, the home has a master suite plus three other large bedrooms, a fireplace in the sitting room and an outdoor heated swimming pool.

TWO HOUSES WITH $2.5 MILLION PRICE TAGS

• A standalone house at 259 84th St. with a wraparound porch and a hilltop lawn changed hands in a $2.5 million transaction, Finance Department records show. According to a posting by Jabour Realty, the listing broker, the stand-alone stucco house has six bedrooms. The sellers had purchased it for $1.2 million in a 2010 estate sale, Finance Department records indicate. • A house at 8035 Harbor View Terrace just sold for $2.5 million. House-N-Key brokered the deal. The seller had owned it since 1969, Finance Department records show. It’s got Tudor touches and nice landscaping. The exterior of another house on this tiny street, 8070 Harbor View Terrace, appears on every episode of CBS TV’s popular series “Blue Bloods.” It’s the fictional home of New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan, who is played by Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winner Tom Selleck.

TWO RENOVATION PROJECTS

• A married couple bought a stand-alone house at 8056 Narrows Ave. for $3.68 million. The seller had owned it since 1982, Finance Department records show.

The corner house in this photo is 8220 Colonial Road, which was INBrooklyn photo by Lore Croghan recently sold. Renovation is underway, so the house isn’t photogenic at the moment. According to online info posted by Jabour Realty, which had the listing, 8056 Narrows Ave. is a five-bedroom house on an 80-by-109-foot lot with a two-car garage. • A Colonial house at nearby 7923 Colonial Road sold for $1.98 million, Finance Department records indicate. It has five bedrooms, a living room with a fireplace and a one-car garage, a posting on Zillow.com says. This property is on the corner of 80th Street. It is under renovation at the moment.

A LIMESTONE ROWHOUSE ON THE UNOFFICIAL DOCTORS’ ROW

• Limestone rowhouses are also much-loved Bay Ridge purchases. They can be found on Doctors’ Row, which is the Bay Ridge Parkway block between Fourth and Fifth avenues, and also on the unofficial second Doctors’ Row, which is the 77th Street block between Fourth and Fifth avenues. A married couple bought a lovely barrel-front limestone rowhouse in that latter location for $1.35 million. Its address is 421 77th St. The transaction was an estate sale, Finance Department records indicate.

We love these old homes with double-decker porches on the corner of Ridge Boulevard and 80th Street.

NYC College of Technology Marks 80th Anniversary of Kristallnacht

School’s Jewish Faculty/Staff Association Has Sponsored Kristallnacht Programs for Three Decades By Francesca Norsen Tate Religion Editor

Kristallnacht, the series of pogroms targeting Jews that took place on November 9-10, 1938, will be commemorated at the New York City College of Technology. The college’s Jewish Faculty & Staff Association has sponsored Kristallnacht memorial programs for 29 years. This year’s program, titled “Kristallnacht: 80 Years After and 30 Years Beyond,” takes place on Wednesday, Nov. 7, at noon. Participants will recall this turning point in

the persecution and genocide of Jews and millions of other human beings. However, the positive angle will be a reflection on the stories that survivors and witnesses share—along with the deep concern about the future that many people believe is a repeat of history. This year’s Kristallnacht Anniversary program will feature as speaker Suzanne Loebl, a Belgium Holocaust hidden child, and a Brooklyn Heights resident. Loebl will also receive the City Tech JFSA Distinguished Lifetime Achievement Award. And receiving the 2018 Distinguished

Judaism in Another Art Form: Book Illustration Heights Illustrator Paul Zelinsky Set To Give Talk on Beloved Book Series Brooklyn Heights resident Paul Zelinsky, an award-winning children’s book illustrator, presents “The Making Of ‘All-Of-A-Kind Family Hanukkah’” at Congregation Mount Sinai next weekend. “All-of-a-Kind Family Hanukkah” is a new picture book by author Emily Jenkins and illustrator Paul Zelinsky. The original All-of-a-Kind family books were written by Sydney Taylor from the 1950s to the 1970s. They were based on her own experiences growing up in the early 1900s in a large and loving Jewish family living on the Lower East Side. Taylor was the first children’s writer to publish fiction about a Jewish family for a universal audience. Zelinsky, will receive the 2018 Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society of Illustrators. He also received the 1998

Caldecott Medal for U.S. picture book illustration, recognizing “Rapunzel.” He was inspired to pursue a career in children’s book illustration after taking a course with Maurice Sendak at Yale University. He later earned a graduate degree in painting from Tyler School of Art, in Philadelphia and Rome. He will give an informative presentation about the process of illustrating “All-ofa-Kind Family Hanukkah.” This free event begins on Sunday, November 4, at 4 p.m. RSVP by Thurs. Nov. 1 to admin@cmsbklyn.org, or 718-875-9124. Congregation Mount Sinai is at 250 Cadman Plaza West. All books purchased at Congregation Mount Sinai will be available for signing ($18). A great Hanukkah gift! And latkes will be served!

Humanitarian Award will be Edith Everett, an educator, community leader, philanthropist and humanitarian. Also joining the program will be Cathy Buggenhout, Belgium consul general in New York. The City Tech Jewish Faculty & Staff Association believes that survivor testimony is paramount in telling the personal history and in preserving memories, and that such testimony becomes urgent, particularly as the survivor community diminishes in numbers. In keeping this history alive, CUNY has organized and curated Kristallnacht anniversary commemorations for almost three decades. The first within CUNY was on November 10, 1988 to mark the 50th anniversary of Kristallnacht. Some of the co-sponsors have been the Brooklyn Historical Society, CUNY Baruch College Jewish Studies Center, CUNY Macaulay Honors College, the Center for Jewish History, Facing History and Ourselves, the Interfaith Committee of Remembrance, the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York, the Remember the Women Institute, the New York Board of Rabbis, the City Tech Foundation and City Tech Faculty Commons. Programs are always free and open to the general public. The New York City College of Technology is at 300 Jay St.

Crown Heights, through November 18. Exhibit hours are Mondays-Fridays, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Convivio (Spanish for “living together,” “coexisting”) documents two groups and how they came to define the American comic book industry. Comics are a unique artistic medium, a paradigm of American assimilationist values and mainstream culture. Paradoxically, they have also demonstrated unique aspects of identity, narrative, ethnicity, religion, race and the self from their very inception. During the 1930s, Jews came to invent and define American comics books. They left their imprint on an industry and a popular culture fraught with segregation and prejudice, often hiding in plain sight like the image of Clark Kent’s glasses masking Superman’s true identity beneath. By the 1960s and ‘70s, Hispanic artists and writers also made their way into the business, adding their own unique voice from an initial position as outsiders. During this period, Jews and Hispanics often shared the same New York neighborhoods — the Lower East Side, Harlem and the Bronx — forming a convivial relationship that created bonds of influence and mutual respect. The exhibition documents this relationship and presents many kinds of comics: mainstream publications that are generally accepted by the American public, but may be read in specific cultural ways regarding Jews and Hispanics; contemporary identity comics written and drawn by writers and artists no longer afraid to be different; and “fine artists” who use comic book references as a way to focus and define religious, cultural and personal authenticity. There are artists in this exhibition who are both Hispanic and Jewish, contradicting existing stereotypes. The artists are Claudia Ahlering, Laura Alvarez, Chris Duckett, Will Eisner, Escobar, Ray Felix, Athena Finger, Max Gottfried, Goldie Gross, Miguel Guerra, N. Steven Harris, Paul Hoppe, Jack Kirby, Lon Levin, Jose Luis Garcia Lopez, Alitha E. Martinez, Jezebel Martinez, Betty Palmer, Rodney Ramos, Archie Rand, Noaj Sauer, Arlen Schumer, Joel Silverstein, Emily Steinberg, Mark Texeira, Miguel Trelles, Ephraim Wuensch, Roberto Williams and Sara Woolley. The exhibit’s organizers are Be’chol Lashon, Bronx Heroes Comic Con, Jewish Art Salon and Repair the World. The UJA Federation of New York also provided support. Repair the World’s NYC initiative launched in the fall of 2015 to tackle pressing local needs by mobilizing communities to volunteer. Its website states, “We enable people to transform their neighborhoods, city and lives through meaningful service experiences, rooted in Jewish values, history and heritage.”

ON OCT. 23, 1946, the Eagle reported, “New York today gave the arriving delegates to the United Nations General Assembly a rousing welcome. Along the built-up canyons of lower Broadway as the delegates drove by in a long cavalcade of cars, they were welcomed by the cheering New Yorkers, who lined up eight and ten deep along the sidewalks of Broadway and tossed ticker-tape from high buildings, in the traditional manner of New York welcomes to honor the visiting delegates. Then they were officially welcomed on the plaza in front of City Hall by Deputy Mayor Thomas L.J. Corcoran on behalf of the City of New York, and by Warren Austin, himself a General Assembly delegate, head of the U.S. delegation, on behalf of the United States. Mr. Corcoran, in his address of welcome, expressed New York City’s wish to see the United Nations established in New York as its permanent home.”  ON THIS DAY IN 1860, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle published the following advertisement: “Grand Kings County Demonstration — A meeting composed of one Delegate from each of the Clubs in Kings County opposed to the election of Lincoln will be held at the Club rooms, over Gastons hat store [on] Fulton Street, opposite Myrtle Ave., on Wednesday evening, Oct. 24th inst., at 7 1/2 o’clock, for the purpose of making arrangements for a Grand Torch Light Demonstration in this County, on the evening of the 1st of November. City and county clubs will please send delegates.”  ON THIS DAY IN 1897, the Eagle reported, “The exercises attending the formal unveiling of the bronze bust of Mozart, which was won by the United Singers of Brooklyn at the recent great Saengerfest at Philadelphia, are being held in Prospect Park this afternoon as the Eagle goes to press. The Germans and their friends and a number of several thousand are taking an active part in the formal presentation of the prize to the City of Brooklyn … Prior to the unveiling there was a monster parade of the German singing societies through the principal streets of the city.”

For Laughing Out Loud • I saw a man at the ATM the other day standing on one leg. When I asked him what he was doing, he replied, “just checking my balance”. • What do you get when you spell “man” backwards? Flashbacks. • What do you call a hippie's wife? Mississippi. • What’s the key to making a good mailman joke? The delivery. • Yesterday I told my psychiatrist that I’ve been hearing voices. He said I don’t have a psychiatrist.

ON OCT. 24, 1950, the Eagle reported, “Flushing, Oct. 24 (U.P.) — President [Harry] Truman called today for a ‘fool-proof,’ worldwide disarmament pact to head off a third world war. But he warned that the U.S. and her Western allies will not be lulled into laying down their arms by ‘paper promises’ of peace and disarmament. ‘One-sided disarmament is a sure invitation to aggression,’ he said. The president spoke before a special plenary session of the United Nations General Assembly on the fifth anniversary of the founding of the world organization.”  ON OCT 24, 1860, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported, “The heating apparatus recently introduced into the basement of the City Hall has been finally completed, and yesterday steam was raised and circulated throughout the building by means of pipes and coils. The engine is capable of carrying 120 pounds of steam. A pressure of 70 pounds was put on, then 50 pounds and finally reduced to 15 pounds. The result was in every way satisfactory, and although the weather was more moderate than some days previous, it was demonstrated that every room in the building can be heated to any required extent at an average pressure of from 15 to 20 pounds of steam. The stoves heretofore in use will now be displaced.”  ON OCT. 24, 1929, the Eagle reported, “Wall Street went through another speculators’ panic today, when stocks, already low, crashed to unbelievable levels. They rallied when Thomas M. Lamont, representing J.P. Morgan & Co., and the leading bankers of the city, ascribed the reaction to technical rather than fundamental conditions and found that no financial houses were in difficulty. During the hectic selling which broke all records and exceeded 12,000,000 shares, the Federal Reserve Board of New York was in special sessions to discuss the situation.”

You Should Know This • The Flintstones was the most profitable network cartoon franchise for 30 years before being unseated by The Simpsons. • The post office in Bedrock, Colorado receives so much fan mail addressed to characters from ‘The Flintstones’ that they have a special stamp for rejecting the mail that says ‘Return to Sender – Fictitious Cartoon Character’. • First published in 1993, “On the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog” is the most reproduced cartoon from The New Yorker magazine, and its title a phrase still used around the world. • Bebop & Rocksteady were added to the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon because the toy company wanted more characters to sell.

You Should Know This • Chocolate chips were invented after the chocolate chip cookie. It’s true: the cookie preceded the chips. Chocolate chips were created in response to the cookie’s popularity, rather than the cookie being designed as a vehicle for the chips. • CREAM OF TARTAR IS A BYPRODUCT OF WINEMAKING. The next time you say “cheers,” add a small “thank you” to your wine for producing the cream of tartar that makes your meringues so lofty and your snickerdoodles so tender. • The “German” of German chocolate cake fame was actually a man named Samuel German, who was an employee of an American chocolate company. German didn’t invent the cake, but he is the one who developed German’s sweet baking chocolate, which is a key ingredient in the cake. • Boston cream pie, which was made famous at Boston’s groundbreaking Parker House Hotel, was developed by an Armenian-French pastry chef. Pie tins were far more common in American households than cake pan. If the cake was originally baked in pie tins, it’s easy to see how the multicultural chef, whose first language was not English, might use the terms “pie” and “cake” interchangeably. • Blondies before brownies. If you delve into old cookbooks, you’ll find that blondies were in recipe rotation before brownies. It’s possible that these recipes were adapted from old-time gingerbread recipes and combined with the flavors of butterscotch, but brownies were not created until the early 1900s.

Property Tax Reform Panel Hears from Homeowners BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

o one is happy with their property taxes, it would seem. The New York City Advisory Commission on Property Tax Reform came to Brooklyn on Oct. 15 to hold a public hearing and hear first-hand from homeowners about unfairly high tax rates, inequities in the ways property values are assessed and the negative effects the system has on the quality of life in middle class neighborhoods. Several elected officials were among those who testified at the hearing or submitted written testimony, according to residents who attended the session, which took place at Borough Hall. Chief among the complaints was that the city’s property tax structure is set up in such a way that homeowners in more desirable neighborhoods, like

Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope, wind up paying less than their fellow property owners in other parts of Brooklyn, like Bay Ridge and Flatbush. Homeowners in places like Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Canarsie and Brownsville pay a rate of 0.73 percent, while Park Slope property owners are paying 0.32 percent, according to Assemblymember Nicole Malliotakis, a Republican who represents portions of Bay Ridge and Staten Island, and who has been outspoken in her opposition to the system. At the hearing, there was a strong call for a more equitable system, according to several people in attendance. Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, who submitted testimony, called the system “an unnecessary labyrinth of confusion.” And it’s not just property owners who are impacted,

according to Adams, who said tenants also suffer due to rising rents brought on by higher costs for building owners. "Homeowners have been suffering under this unfair assessment system for too long." - Borough President Eric Adams “Homeow ners have been suffering under this unfair assessment system for too long, one that places different property tax burdens on similarly valued properties across the five boroughs, and renters often bear the burden of this unequal system as the cost is passed on through increasing rents across the city,” Adams stated. The commission, which was formed in May by Mayor Bill de Blasio and Council Speaker Corey Johnson, has been mandated to research

property taxes and recommend changes to simplify the system. Property taxes are the largest source of revenue for New York City, generating billions of dollars each year, according to the Citizens Budget Commission. The property-tax rate has grown at triple the rate of working class New Yorkers’ incomes over the past 10 years, according to Assemblymember Felix Ortiz, a Democrat who represents Sunset Park. The costs have risen so much that parents who are retiring and who wish to pass their homes on to their children are now doubtful the children will be able to aﬀord to stay in New York, he stated. Ortiz suggested that the property tax system be changed to place more of the financial burden on those who can aﬀord it. “We cannot tax our residents to the point where they cannot support their families

or be able to stay in the city as they are the backbone of our communities and our economy,” Ortiz wrote in testimony he submitted. Councilmember Jumaane Williams, a Democrat who represents Flatbush, East Flatbush and Midwood, and who testified in person, charged that communities of color are hit with a disproportionate share of the burden. “Draining money from the residents while providing breaks for the wealthiest blocks across boroughs is holding back entire communities from financial advancement. People of more color are paying more into a system that supports them less," he testified. The property tax system came under increased scrutiny after the advocacy group Tax Equity filed a lawsuit against the city, according to Williams. He referred to the lawsuit

during his testimony. Williams, a member of the City Council’s Committee on Housing, also urged the seven-member commission “not just to hear but to listen" to the public. Malliotakis, who submitted testimony to the commission at its Staten Island hearing on Sept. 27, said she is proposing a series of changes that would include assessing all Class 1 at full market value, placing a property tax cap for senior citizens, and subjecting New York City to a two percent cap on its property tax levy. “Currently, New York City is one of the few municipalities in the state of New York that does not have a cap on the property tax levy. As a result, we have seen the mayor and City Council increase the property tax levy by a whopping 44 percent to over $27 billion since 2013, placing an incredible burden on its citizens,” Malliotakis stated.

Gounardes Campaign Lit Drop Raises Eyebrows BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

n overeager campaign worker landed Democratic State Senate candidate Andrew Gounardes in hot water as the bitter race between Gounardes and incumbent Republican Marty Golden entered its ﬁnal weeks. Controversy erupted at an Oct. 17 meeting of the District 20 Community Education Council (CEC) at Dyker Heights Intermediate School, where the Gounardes campaign staﬀer was violating rules by distributing campaign literature on the candidate’s behalf prior to the start of the session, according to a parent who attended the session. “One of the school workers had to come and stop him,” the parent wrote in a Facebook post. A Department of Education (DOE) regulation strictly prohibits any type of political activity in public schools. CECs, which perform the function of local school boards, routinely hold their

meetings in public schools. The District 20 CEC represents parents of children in schools in Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights and parts of Sunset Park, Borough Park and Bensonhurst. The political literature distribution matter was brought to the attention of school officials at the same time that, coincidentally, Gounardes was entering the auditorium, according to one witness. Once Gounardes was informed of the situation by school officials, he quickly instructed the campaign worker to stop, the witness said. The CEC meeting went on as scheduled. But the parent who wrote about the episode on Facebook was not impressed. “As a lawyer, one should know that there is no electioneering inside of a school,” she wrote, referring to Gounardes, a lawyer who serves as chief counsel to Borough President Eric Adams. DOE Deputy Press Secretary Doug Cohen confirmed that agency employees had to intervene. “We have clear

DOE employees immediately intervened and stopped the campaign literature from being distributed once it was brought to our attention,” Cohen told the this newspaper in an email. Dana Adams, Gounardes’ deputy campaign manager, denied that the staﬀ

member was doing any electioneering. Adams also denied that the information being distributed was campaign literature. “We did not have any volunteers campaigning during the meeting. We had a staﬀ member arrive early to share Andrew’s talking points that were reflective of the remarks he made that evening. It’s

important to note that nowhere on the flyer we distributed does it say ‘Vote for Andrew’ or even the election day. As soon as Andrew arrived, someone from DOE came over and asked us to stop, and we did so immediately,” Adams told this newspaper. In addition, Adams charged that “there was express electioneering going on inside by Republicans in the audience.” She emailed this newspaper a flier that she said was being passed around the audience that night. The flier included photos of various Republican candidates running for office, including Golden. Golden’s campaign criticized Gounardes’ campaign over the DOE flap. “If this happened as we are hearing, it certainly shows a disturbing lack of judgment from the Gounardes campaign,” Golden campaign spokesperson Michael Tobman told this newspaper. “If Sen. Golden’s opponent had a policy point to contribute to the CEC discussion, that’d be a different situation.

But this feels like a crass imposition on parents who were trying to learn more about what and how their children are learning.” The brouhaha took place as the campaign headed toward the finish line and the two candidates were making their final pitches to voters in preparation for the Nov. 6 election. Golden, who was first elected to the State Senate in 2002, is running for his ninth term in office representing the 22nd Senate District. He is the only Republican representing a Senate seat in Brooklyn. The district takes in parts of several Brooklyn neighborhoods, including Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Bensonhurst, Gravesend, Manhattan Beach, Marine Park and Gerritsen Beach. Democrats have high hopes for flipping the seat. Gounardes ran against Golden in 2012 and lost. However, G ounardes received more votes in the Bay Ridge portion of the district than Golden did, a result that impressed many political observers.

t’s no secret: the New York City property tax system circa 2018 is badly broken. It’s outdated, unfair and excessively complicated. Over the past nearly four decades, inequities have sprung up across the city because of the way current tax laws were structured back in 1981. As a result, people living in million-dollar brownstones in scorching hot real estate markets have lower effective property tax rates than homeowners elsewhere in Brooklyn who have lower property values. The homeowners I represent in Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Bath Beach, and Bensonhurst have certainly not been immune to this dysfunction.

Fixing a Broken Property Tax System Knocking on doors last summer and speaking with homeowners during my campaign for City Council, the defective property tax system was one of the issues I heard about the most. So after I got elected, I fought hard and got Mayor de Blasio to ﬁnally establish the NYC Advisory Commission on Property Tax Reform that he’d promised way back when. Now, I’ve asked this commission to forge quickly towards a fairer, simpler and more transparent system, and to keep in mind inequities between neighborhoods as it moves forward. Homeowners in my district cannot aﬀord to be paying to subsidize lower property taxes in our city’s

hottest housing ing markets. Itt ma kes no sense that they should. But that’s exactly what they’re doing under the cur-rent system, and we have a responsibility in government to offer them some relief as soon as possible. Property tax reform needs to be a fight for homeowners and also for renters. Our city has been hit hard by skyrocketing rents, and landlords passing down exorbitant property taxes to their tenants have only made the problem worse. We need to make sure that tenants benefit not at homeowners’ expense, but

along with them. Because, right Be now, both n groups are hurting. The way I see it, we need to do n three things. th First, New Fir York State needs to correct the problems with its current law. Albany needs to start a shift away from the current capped system and towards an alternative that allows property taxes to reflect real property values of the present day better, or, better yet, step aside and grant New York City the authority to solve its own problem. Second, we need to create a provision that would limit property taxes by

tying them to family income, which would protect middle and low-income families living in rapidly booming housing markets from getting socked with skyrocketing taxes. Third, if and when property taxes decline on rental properties, we need to guarantee that savings are being passed down to tenants and not redirected elsewhere. This would prevent landlords from hoarding the relief rightfully owed to tenants, especially of rent-controlled and stabilized units – of which our area has a very large amount. All of these steps should serve the simple goal of reducing disparities in effective property tax rates among residential

properties. Property taxes as a percent of market value would be similar across the city, with the “circuit breaker” protection for homeowners of lower incomes. Renters too would see savings in a city plagued by an aﬀordable housing crisis. Make no mistake: The people of Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Bath Beach and Bensonhurst are right up there with those hit hardest by our busted property tax system. This reform eﬀort needs to be about bringing fairness, simplicity and sanity to our system. The hardworking people we serve deserve nothing less.

Focus on Bay Ridge By Charles F. Otey

Business Owners, Civic Leaders Recognized as Pioneers of Third Avenue 25th Anniversary Reception Draws Crowds An astounding two dozen business and civic leaders took center stage on Monday evening, Oct. 22, at the 25th Annual Pioneer Reception hosted by the Merchants of Third Avenue. This year’s soiree featured a sumptuous cocktail hour and full sit-down dinner provided by Patrick Golden and the staff at the Bay Ridge Manor, 476 76th St. Among the highlights of the evening was the presentation of several special awards to very deserving honorees. Perhaps none was more deserving than the tireless Jane Kelly, who received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the age of 97 years young! Kelly was humble in her remarks and reflected on the great spirit of volunteerism that has permeated Bay

Ridge for decades and continues to attract new and enthusiastic civic leaders. Also given special recognition that evening was Half-Century Award recipient Dennis Monier of Tops Restaurant and Bar Supplies, who reflected on his 50 years in business. Merchants of Third Avenue Co-Treasurer and Northfield Bank Vice President Brian Chin was presented the Larry Morrish Community Service Award for his continued involvement in Bay Ridge civic affairs as well as his close working relationship with the late Larry Morrish, a true community organizer. Morrish’s wife Phillipa Morrish was on hand to present the award and honor Larry’s memory. New Business Awards were presented to

OPINION A QUESTIONABLE BALLOT

his year’s election day ballot will be different. For the first time ever, it will be on multiple pages, two, in fact, with several judicial races and ballot questions on the back of the two pages. This is a result of the number of languages in which the ballots are printed, and the number of official and independent parties (formed just for this election) that filed this year. The three City Charter change ballot proposals — which require a summary of the provisions of each question— also takes up a great deal of space. These are the three ballot proposals that will appear. For what it is worth, I am voting NO on all three. The Brooklyn Conservative Party which I one time chaired is also recommending a NO vote on all three proposals. Proposal One lowers the amount a candidate for city elected office may accept from a contributor. To

compensate for the reduction, it increases the amount you can receive from the taxpayer-funded campaign finance system. In other words, more of your tax dollars will go to fund partisan political campaigns. Proposal Two creates a Civic Engagement Commission. Read the language and I suspect you will come to the same conclusion I did. It is a colossal waste of taxpayer dollars. Proposal Three imposes community board term limits of a maximum of four two-year terms for members. That sounds good. What does not sound good is the rest of the proposal that would add reporting requirements to this volunteer position and give the Civic Engagement Commission which I oppose a role in setting a course for community boards. Interpretation: The mayor gets to run the community boards. As I mentioned earlier, you will find these three

COMMON SENSE

ballot issues on the back of the two-page ballot.

BY JERRY KASSAR In Brooklyn, they seem evenly matched. On Staten Island, I suspect Donovan will run away with it based on Rose’s position on issues such as support for sanctuary cities, legalizing recreational marijuana (Staten Island not unlike Bay Ridge has a significant drug abuse problem) and opposition to President Trump who remains quite popular on the island, just to name three things. *** I attended the two debates between Congressmember Dan Donovan and Max Rose. Like a boxing match, each candidate had his supporters in his corner. The two are very diﬀerent. Rose is loud and excitable, which he describes as energy and enthusiasm.

Donovan talks about his enormous experience from being a deputy borough president and three term district attorney with three years in the Congress. He is quiet and thoughtful. In Brooklyn, they seem evenly matched. On Staten Island, I suspect Donovan will run away with it based on Rose’s position on issues such as support for sanctuary cities, legalizing recreational marijuana (Staten Island not unlike Bay Ridge has a significant drug abuse problem) and opposition to President Trump who remains quite popular on the island, just to name three things. The other hill that Rose will need to climb is the fact that he has only lived in the district for something like three years. Candidates

VOTING IS CRUCIAL, YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD

n 2016, more than 65 million voters cast a ballot for Hillary Clinton while fewer than 63 million voters voted for Donald Trump, according to certified election results. However, more than 94 million eligible voters failed to exercise their right to vote in the 2016 election! Voter turnout for the midterm elections, as in all elections, is vital. It is crucial for Americans to vote and urge everyone they know to vote, too. This is relevant for local and national elections. The trade deficit has increased 9.5 percent and the trade gap has widened for two straight months since President Trump declared a trade war with both allies and adversaries. The U.S. trade deficit surged to $779 billion in fiscal year 2018. That's the largest deficit since 2012, when the country was spending massively to stimulate an economy struggling to recover from the Great Recession. Ta x re venue has

decreased, with corporate tax collection down due to the Trump tax giveaway plan. The alleged Republican “budget hawks” increased federal spending by more than three percent while fighting against affordable health care. It is predicted the deficit could reach $1 trillion as soon as next year. The Trump Republican Congress and administration created an immediate debt and spending crisis with their short-sighted policies. Trump steadfastly defends these policies, arguing that the gaps are a reason to cut deeper into social programs while he lavishes money on the military budget. We should not have to talk of Medicare and Social Security cuts because our corporations “need” higher profits. Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blames the increased national debt and budget deficit on Democrats who are unwilling to “address” the drivers of the debt. He added that the reduced tax revenue was not

the problem but “Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid” funding constituted “the real driver of the debt.” Easy! Cut them all and pass more tax cuts for the wealthy. We have paid taxes for generation to fund these programs. Republicans want them defunded. Trump attacks the media and alienates our allies while extolling the beneﬁts of eliminating “globalism.” Trump courts Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who has imprisoned critics and apparently had a dissident journalist executed in Turkey. Trump bowed his head to this despot in a ceremony where he accepted a foreign award. This is the globalism which is unneeded. There is rising xenophobia and nationalism in Europe which is consistently lauded by Trump. This undermines the democratic ideals of our nation. The stock market boomed under Trump; however, it’s looking increasingly

would like to think it does not matter. It does. Residents want to feel that you are truly a neighbor who understands their concerns. They want to see you shopping, at the civic meetings, the Little League games, religious services, etc. That only comes with time. *** In the 32-day pre-general election financial filings for the 22nd Senatorial District, the three political committees involved in the race showed the following as cash on hand. Friends of Marty Golden (whom I serve as chief of staﬀ ): $392,182; Andrew Gounardes for State Senate: $100,018; and Fight Back Bay Ridge, an independent expenditure political committee opposing Senator Golden: $506.83. Fight Back Bay Ridge raised a total of approximately $1,450. Interestingly,

a number of Fight Back Bay Ridge’s 35 or so contributors also contributed to Andrew Gounardes. The group oﬃcially has no hierarchy of leadership and an expansive interpretation of its membership so, in effect, everyone in the group has some role. I wonder if, due to the unusual nature of Fight Back Bay Ridge’s structure, supporting both Gounardes and Fight Back Bay Ridge constitutes coordination, which violates state election law. It is worth asking the state Board of Elections for an opinion after the election. Fight Back Bay Ridge may have inadvertently found a loophole in the law that others could use to circumvent the non-coordination provision. For now, everyone should mark Election Day, Tuesday, November 6, on their calendar and plan to vote.

WE THE PEOPLE BY BRIAN KIERAN

It is predicted the deficit could reach $1 trillion as soon as next year

unstable due to the trade war. Besides, 80 percent of the stock market is owned by the richest 10 percent of Americans so the majority of Americans aren’t helped with the market boom. Hourly wages for workers, adjusted for inﬂation, aren’t much higher now than they were 40 years ago. Trump delivered tax cuts for the wealthy and promised everyone else that lost tax revenues would be made up for by economic activity and wages for most workers would be increased, a big lie! Trump Republicans in Congress want to spend less on programs to help Americans while diverting public school money to alternate education. The Trump Labor Department repealed a rule

that increased the number of workers entitled to timeand-a-half for overtime. Unemployment may be down, but the jobs left are less secure than ever before. Housing costs are skyrocketing, with most Americans paying a third or more of their paychecks in rent or mortgages while the cost of healthcare outpaces inflation. Meanwhile, Trump is dead set on eliminating affordable health care for Americans. The elections this November give voters an opportunity to determine the representation for their districts in Congress. All 435 House members are up for election this fall, while one third of the 100 U.S. senators are up for election. However, you must go out and vote. Locally, incumbent Republican state Sen. Marty Golden is being criticized for refusing to fire his campaign manager, Ian Reilly, who has connections to an alleged white supremacist organization which fought with protesters in Manhattan.

A member of the group, the “Proud Boys,” was captured on video striking a protester on the street outside the club. Democratic candidate Andrew Gounardes was “horriﬁed … that my opponent has a member of the white nationalist group … on his payroll.” New York and the nation need a change from the current status quo in Albany and Washington. If voting is crucial, why do so many people stay at home? Most claim to feel that it just doesn’t matter. However, the voters who stayed at home in 2016 could have elected a third-party candidate over the two major party candidates. This November 6 is your one chance to weigh in on Trump policies and the way things are done in Washington. The stakes in the state elections are equally high. When you don’t vote, it’s as if the other person’s vote counts twice. If you want your voice to be heard, the only way is to vote and get other people to vote as well.

IN PUBLIC SERVICE COMPILED BY PAULA KATINAS AND JOHN ALEXANDER

TREYGER BILL FOR FREE DIAPERS FOR LOW INCOME FAMILIES PASSES The New York City Council has voted unanimously to pass City Councilmember Mark Treyger’s legislation that will provide free diapers and baby wipes to families at city-subsidized childcare centers, domestic violence shelters and temporary housing shelters. Treyger (D-Coney Island-Gravesend-Bensonhurst) introduced the bill last fall and re-introduced it earlier this year. It calls for the Department of Citywide Administrative Services to provide free diapers and baby wipes to residents and clients of city-funded child care centers, Family Justice Centers, Department of Education LYFE programs, domestic violence shelters and shelters operated by the Department Homeless Services and the Department of Youth and Community Development. “The cost of diapers or baby wipes should never come between a parent and their ability to pay their rent or put food on their family’s table,” said Treyger. “Diapers and wipes are not luxury items; they are a critical and expensive everyday necessity that some of our city’s families struggle to aﬀord. The prohibitive cost of diapers can keep young children from attending early childhood educational programs critical for academic, social and emotional development, and prevent parents from earning a living or pursuing their education.” -JA

MENCHACA REACTS TO TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SEEKING TO ROLL BACK PROTECTIONS FOR TGNC COMMUNITY City Councilmember Carlos Menchaca (D-Sunset Park-Red Hook), a member of the Council’s LGBTQ Caucus, has issued statement regarding the Trump Administration’s efforts to establish a discriminatory definition of sex under Title IX: “This proposal is a blatant admission of fear and insecurity on the part of those who work in the Trump administration and from President Trump himself,” Menchaca said. “Every single time a marginalized and often ignored group of people speak up for themselves and assert their right to fair treatment, there is a swift reaction to force them back in the shadows and to pretend they were never there.” Menchaca’s statement contended that this was not the first time this has happened. “And like every attempt in the past, this one too shall fail,” he said. “A spotlight has been shown, and it is time for every member of the LGBTQ community and our allies to use their power and privilege to put the needs of the TGNC (Trans Gender Non-Conforming) community on center stage. . . Just as other communities have in the past, the TGNC community will shine for us a path towards a more fair and just society.” – JA

ADAMS LAUNCHES CENSUS AWARENESS CAMPAIGN Borough President Eric Adams and good government groups are launching an all-out eﬀort to ensure that Brooklyn residents are properly counted in the 2020 Census. Adams was scheduled to announce the launch of the Brooklyn Complete Count Committee and a #MakeBrooklynCount campaign at Borough Hall on Oct. 23. He invited Cecilia Clarke, president and CEO at Brooklyn Community Foundation, and representatives from New York Counts 2020 and the Center for Law and Social Justice at the New York City Black Leadership Action Coalition for Census 2020, to the announcement. The Brooklyn Complete Count Committee will work to ensure an accurate and fair demographic and population count during the 2020 Census to be conducted by the United States Census Bureau, Adams said. The committee will work on a grassroots outreach campaign aimed at businesses, civic and faith-based organizations, and community groups to address concerns residents have over ﬁlling out the census form. Making sure everyone is counted is vital, according to Adams, who said the Census results will determine critical funding that the city will receives over the next decade. – PK

PARKER, RICHARDSON CALL FOR CRACKDOWN OF 911 ABUSES The controversial case involving a woman who threatened to call 911 and summon police to a Brooklyn store to arrest a nine-year-old boy after the child accidentally bumped into her with his backpack is spurring action by local lawmakers. State Sen. Kevin Parker and Assemblymember Diana Richardson held a press conference to address the issue of the abuse of 911 calls for non-emergency cases. Parker (D-Flatbush-Ditmas Park-Kensington) said he will introduce legislation that would classify the misuse of the 911 system as a Class B misdemeanor. Under the bill, a person found guilty of endangering the public by reporting a non-emergency incident would be

State Sen. Kevin Parker (fourth from left) gathered a group of fellow lawmakers to push for passage of a bill he is sponsoring to crackdown on people who abuse the 911 system by calling the number to report non-emergencies. subject to three months in jail and a $5,000 ﬁne. Richardson (D-Prospect Lefferts Gardens-Crown Heights) plans to sponsor the bill in the Assembly. The two lawmakers cited the recent case in which the woman

charged that the young boy had groped her in a crowded convenience store and then allegedly motioned as if she were calling 911. The accuser later apologized after the store’s surveillance footage showed that the boy’s book bag had grazed her.

The incident set oﬀ racial alarm bells because the boy is black and the woman is white. The incident ﬁts a disturbing racial pattern, according to Parker. “As we have seen just up the street with the Red Apple Nails salon beating of a black woman and her elderly mother; the blocking of D’Arreion Toles by a white woman from entering his home; the young men that were arrested for simply sitting in Starbucks while black, and in Oakland with a white woman calling law enforcement on black people for barbecuing, the lives, rights and well-being of black and brown people continue to be in peril and under attack,” Parker said in a statement. – PK

NADLER WANTS TRUMP TO REVEAL TIES TO SAUDIS U.S. Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-Bensonhurst-Upper West Side), the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, and U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Connecticut), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, have written a letter to President Donald Trump to demand answers to questions about possible ﬁnancial ties the president and the Trump Organization have with the royal family of Saudi Arabia. Nadler and Blumenthal are

leading a group of nearly 200 members of Congress who are currently suing Trump to hold him accountable to the Emoluments Clause, the Constitutional provision requiring presidents to seek congressional approval before accepting beneﬁts from foreign governments. “It appears Saudi princes and the Saudi government have provided you and the Trump Organization with infusions of cash since the 1990s,” Blumenthal and Nadler wrote.

Nadler and Blumenthal also blasted what they termed the “inadequacy of steps” the president has taken to insulate himself from foreign conﬂicts of interest. “This commitment fails to bring the president into compliance with the Emoluments Clause, and also creates a loophole that allows President Trump to beneﬁt from Saudi Arabia and other foreign governments without transparency or accountability,” the lawmakers said in a statement. – PK
