A stroll on the Coney Island Boardwalk is a great antidote to autumnal ennui.

Walk with Us from Coney Island to Sheepshead Bay Shoreline Stroll Is an Autumn Mood Brightener

“Eiffel Tower of Brooklyn,” which is the steel tower’s nickname, has been out of service since 1965.

The only way to alleviate them is to scour the weather reports and find a sunny day for a good long walk.

Blue skies bring a strong measure of charm to the Coney Island Boardwalk even when the weather’s chilly.

We miss the Sheepshead Bay shoreline too.

The offbeat allure of Emmons Avenue sticks in our mind long after summer has fled.

The other day when we were pining for surf, sand and seagulls, we decided to see the Coney Island and Sheepshead Bay shorelines during a single stroll. It was a great way to shake off autumnal ennui.

It’s possible to walk from the Coney Art Walls on Stillwell Avenue to Sheepshead Bay’s Stella Maris Bait and Tackle in one afternoon — despite the fact that it’s dead dark around 5 p.m.

The city designated the Riegelmann Boardwalk, which is its formal name, as a scenic landmark earlier this year.

The designation honors the 2.7-mile walkway, which opened in 1923. But it does not give the city Landmarks Preservation Commission the power to stop the city Parks Department from replacing the wood planks of the famous promenade with plastic slats and concrete.

Another eye-catching sight we passed on our Boardwalk stroll was the New York Aquarium building, which opened last summer.

The $158 million, 57,000-square-foot aquarium expansion houses an exhibition with 18 types of sharks and rays.

Thalassa! Thalassa! The sea! The sea!

How we long for a swim in the ocean on Coney Island Beach. But the water won’t be warm again until June.

We’re too chicken to join the intrepid Coney Island Polar Bear Club, whose members swim in the sea every Sunday from November through April.

Even if we were braver, the club’s membership is closed at this moment, its website says.

We miss the fun summertime stuff on terra firma as well — especially the famous Wonder Wheel, which has stopped spinning until midApril.

We’re suffering from seaside withdrawal pangs.

Boardwalk burger joint Paul’s Daughter is open for business on this November weekend.

Which Way to the Dip-the-Dip?

We took photos to show you — to tide you over until the next time the sun’s out and you have time to take this stroll yourself.

Of course we snapped shots of the landmarked Wonder Wheel.

This piece of living history opened on Memorial Day in 1920.

Romanian-born Charles Herman invented it.

The Eccentric Ferris Wheel Company built it.

The inventor originally called it the Dip-theDip, the Wonder Wheel’s website reveals.

It has 16 swinging cars and eight stationary cars.

The Vourderis family has owned the 150foot-tall Wonder Wheel since 1983.

Another Boardwalk icon, the Parachute Jump, is landmarked, too. The 262-foot-tall

Which Way to the Shark Tanks?

Beautiful boats are docked behind Stella Maris Bait and Tackle on Emmons Avenue.

Walk with Us from Coney Island to Sheepshead Bay

Eagle photos by Lore Croghan Continued from page 2 We headed down the Boardwalk to Brighton Beach. There, coat-clad people ate lunch outdoors at Cafe Volna and Tatiana, the popular Russian restaurants.

Other folks walked their dogs or sat, chatting, on benches.

Seven Swans A-Swimming

After reaching the Boardwalk’s end, we wound our way through the streets of Brighton Beach to Corbin Place.

There, the sun lit up the facade of Scheuer House of Manhattan Beach, which provides affordable housing for seniors.

In a couple minutes, we were at the edge of Sheepshead Bay — meaning the body of water, which had swans swimming in it — and the neighborhood called Sheepshead Bay. Both were named after a local fish, Kenneth Jackson and John Manbeck’s book “The Neighborhoods of Brooklyn” says.

Have you ever seen a picture of a sheepshead fish? It has teeth

that bizarrely look like they belong in a human being’s mouth.

A Boulevard with a Bait Shop

There’s so much to see on Emmons Avenue, which runs along the edge of the bay.

A metal sculpture shaped like three billowing boat sails stands outside a new condo building called The Vue at 1809 Emmons Ave. The Lundy Brothers Restaurant building at 1901 Emmons Ave. is an eye-catching Spanish Colonial Revival-style landmark.

Picturesque boats are docked at Sheepshead Bay Piers.

Here’s a factoid that evokes Depression-era New York: The city Department of Ports and Trade was in charge of Sheepshead Bay Piers after their construction in 1936.

The boats docked behind Stella Maris Bait and Tackle are very picturesque, too.

The shop at 2702 Emmons Ave. has been in existence since 1947.

Swans swimming in Sheepshead Bay snap up snacks tossed by people on Emmons Avenue.

Bike riders enjoy a sunshiny day on the Coney Island Boardwalk.

NEIGHBORHOOD NEWSBEAT New Apartment Tower Coming to Bensonhurst BENSONHURST — Permits have been filed for a new 30-story residential building at 1625 Shore Parkway in Bensonhurst between the Belt Parkway and Cropsey Avenue. The building’s site is about three blocks from Bensonhurst Park and three avenues away from the D train’s Bay Parkway station, according to New York YIMBY. The building will also be near Caesar’s Bay Shopping Center, which includes such big-box stores as BJ’s Wholesale, Best Buy and Modell’s Sporting Goods.

The low-rise neighborhood, which is historically Italian-American but now also has many Asian residents, rarely sees new residential buildings. Apartments will average 1,145 square feet apiece, which likely points to condos, New York YIMBY said. Shore Towers Brooklyn, an LLC owned by developer LandPex, is listed as the owner, New York YIMBY reported. David West of Hill West Architects is the building’s designer.

Parents on Edge About Short Notice For Meeting on Specialized Schools Admission NORTHWEST BROOKLYN — Angry parents in Brooklyn’s high-achieving School District 15 (Carroll Gardens-Windsor Terrace-Park Slope-Sunset Park) say they were given almost no notice about a meeting last Monday about a plan to change specialized high school admissions. Community Education Council 15, a parental advisory group, said the Department of Education mailed out its agenda on Friday afternoon, according to the New York Post. A version of the agenda previously posted on Facebook didn’t mention the specialized-schools issue.

One CEC source told the Post that DOE had not confirmed its attendance at the meeting until late last week.

However, DOE said that the meeting had been planned in August. After the controversy erupted, the CEC said it would host the presentation a second time in order to accommodate additional interested parties, the Post reported. “To think they would have a meeting like this on such a major change is just not right,” one parent, who said she never heard about the gathering from his PTA or school, told the Post.

Tom Kuhnhackl skated in 69 games with the Pittsburgh Penguins last season, managing just two goals. It took him seven games to surpass that total as a New York Islander, including a pair of big — albeit fortunate — tallies in Tuesday night’s slump-busting 5-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks in front of 8,806 fans at Downtown’s Barclays Center.

Judge Denies El Chapo’s Request For a Hug From His Wife CITYWIDE — The federal judge presiding over Joaquin (El Chapo) Guzman’s trial turned down the accused Mexican drug lord’s request for a hug from his American-born wife. U.S. District Judge Brian Cogan wrote last week that “the court is sympathetic to the request,’ but added, “Having conferred extensively with the U.S. Marshals Service about the defendant’s request, the court is constrained to deny it,” according to the Daily News.

El Chapo’s attorney, Mariel Colon Miro, had earlier said that the defendant, who is accused of drug trafficking, money laundering and related crimes, might have a mental breakdown if he is denied all physical contact with his wife, Emma Coronel Aispuro, the News reported. Guzman has escaped twice from Mexican jails, and Judge Cogan said he denied the drug kingpin’s request to prevent him from coordinating another escape or setting up a hit on people who might be cooperating with the government in his case.

Brooklyn Chef’s Mission: to Popularize Dishes Made With Insects BOROUGHWIDE — Joseph Yoon, executive director of Brooklyn Bugs, has a mission: to make eating insects accepted in the mainstream culinary world.

According to Forbes, Yoon, chef at Yummy Eats and Dinner Echo, first became interested in the subject in May 2017, when he was approached by artist Miru Kim, who was working on a project called “Phobia/ Phaqia’ in which she conquers her fear of bugs by consuming them.

After Yoon started reading up on the subject, he became hooked. He put together the first annual Brooklyn Bugs Festival on Labor Day 2017, Forbes reported. Since then, he has been publicized by The New York Times, “Live With Kelly and Ryan,” Food and Wine, Fox 5’s “Good Day NY” and others. Yoon

was initially encouraged by a report from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations that said eating insects should be encouraged for three reasons: • Health: Insects are rich in protein, good fats and vitamins; • Environment: Edible insects emit fewer greenhouses gases than livestock and don’t require land clearing to expand production; and • Economy: Even the poorest people can harvest insects because it is a lowtech, low-capital investment.

The key to gaining people’s acceptance of insect-eating is to not serve visible insects on top of a dish. Rather, Yoon said, chefs should bake them into a product. Yoon began by baking cricket gougere, a type of cheesy French pastry, Forbes reported.

Bread and Pastry Manufacturer To Move To New W’burg Commercial Building WILLIAMSBURG — Native Bread and Pastry, a 33-year-old pastry and bread manufacturer, is moving from South Williamsburg to an office and industrial project under construction in East Williamsburg. The project, known as The Breeze, is located at 315 Meserole St. and is being developed

by Hudson Companies.

The bakery’s ground-floor

space will include both production operations and a small retail café bakery, according to Commercial Observer. Native Bread and Pastry, which has signed a 10-year lease, plans to move its production facilities to The Breeze later this year. The café and bakery will open in the spring of 2019, Commercial Observer reported.

Four Bushwick-Ridgewood Eateries Make Michelin’s ‘Bib Gourmand’ Lit BUSHWICK — Michelin, the well-known international dining guide, has released its 2008 “Bib Gourmand” list, featuring restaurants that serve high-quality food with prices that make it possible to order two courses and a glass of wine or dessert for $40 or less. Four of these restaurants are located in Bushwick or Ridgewood, according to Bushwick Daily.

They are: • Houdini Kitchen Laboratory, 1563 Decatur St., Ridgewood. Just as famed magician Harry Houdini had the power to make the impossible seem commonplace, the restaurant says it has the power to make its dishes seem sublime. Michelin honored Houdini Kitchen Laboratory in recognition of its pizzas made in a wood-burning oven and fresh pastas, such as spinach-and-ricotta ravioli.

• Roberta’s, 261 Moore St., Bushwick. Roberta’s was recognized for its unusual pizzas, such as the Bee Sting, topped with honey, soppressata and chili. Roberta’s also has a bar and bakery.

• Falanasia, 112 Harrison Place, Bushwick. Like its chef, Henry Trieu, who grew up in Vietnam with Chinese parents, Falanasia is influenced by Vietnamese, Chinese and French cuisine. Its menu includes many types of pho, banh mi sandwiches, brunch and seasonal specialties.

• Bunker, 99 Scott Ave., Bushwick. It also specializes in Vietnamese food. Bushwick Daily says it’s “always packed thanks to their great drinks and addictive banh mi.”

The History of Black Friday

Black Friday marks the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season. Come Black Friday, shoppers strive to get the lowest prices on gifts for their loved ones.

Much of the focus of Black Friday is on finding the best deals, but it can be interesting to take a breath and learn how this phenomenon developed and how it has evolved over the years.

The term Black Friday was originally associated with gold prices and manipulation on the part of speculators Jay Gould and James Fisk. This scandal occurred in September, 1869.

Commodity prices plummeted 50 percent as a result, and the term Black Friday was coined to refer to that drop.

The phrase Black Friday also became famous for all the wrong reasons in 1966.

Philadelphia police used it to refer to the Friday traffic jams and crowding in downtown stores from tourists and shoppers who flooded into the city in advance of the Army-Navy football game held the Saturday after Thanksgiving each year.

Bigger crowds and rowdiness contributed to long hours and stressful shifts for local police.

The retail industry started using the term Black Friday in the late 1980s. Spin doctors turned previously negative connotations into positive

ones by associating the phrase with stores turning a profit and moving accounting ledgers from red to black thanks to big year-end sales. Retailers and consumers rallied around low-cost doorbusters and other discounted prices.

Interestingly enough, according to the National Retail Federation, Black Friday really hasn’t been the most lucrative day for retailers over the years.

In fact, greater profits and larger crowds are often seen on the last Saturday preceding

Christmas.

While Black Friday may have been the catalyst, in recent years shoppers have made the entire weekend of Black Friday a lucrative one for retailers. Many stores now open on Thanksgiving and

extend sales through the entire weekend.

Small Business Saturday and Sunday promote patronizing mom-and-pop stores.

Cyber Monday emerged when online shopping became a popular way to grab deals, and it

marks the close of the opening weekend of the holiday shopping season.

In 2017, Black Friday weekend attracted 174 million shoppers who spent an average of $335.47, according to the NRF.

A Tasty Take on Turkey Just in Time for Thanksgiving Perhaps no day is more synonymous with a certain dish than Thanksgiving is with turkey. As tasty as turkey can be, this flavorful fowl doesn’t find its way onto many families’ dinner tables unless it’s Thanksgiving day.

Secret family turkey recipes may reign supreme in some households, but holiday hosts with no such resources can consider this unique recipe for Holiday Turkey from Andrew Schloss’s “Cooking Slow” (Chronicle Books).

By slow cooking the turkey, cooks can ensure it’s evenly cooked.

HOLIDAY TURKEY Makes 15 servings 1 fresh turkey, about 15 pounds, preferably free-range • 1 tablespoon olive oil • 1 quart apple cider • 2 teaspoons dried poultry seasoning Coarse sea salt and freshly •

ground black pepper Remove the giblets from the turkey and discard (or save for another use). Rinse the turkey inside and out and pat dry with paper towels. Rub it all over with salt and pepper.

Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours. During that time, the surface of the turkey will become visibly dry and the skin will tighten; this encourages a nice crisp skin on the finished bird.

Remove the turkey from the refrigerator one hour before you plan to start roasting.

Preheat the oven to 450° F. Put the turkey on a rack set in a large, flameproof roasting pan. Drizzle the oil over the top.

Roast for one hour. Reduce the oven temperature to 175° F. Pour the cider into the roasting pan and sprinkle the poultry seasoning in the liquid. Continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part

of a thigh (but not touching bone) registers to 170° F. Transfer the turkey to a carving board, tent loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest for about 15 minutes (see tip). Meanwhile, skim the fat from the surface of the liquid in the pan.

Put the roasting pan over two burners and bring the pan drippings to a boil over high heat. Cook until the juices reduce and thicken slightly, enough to coat a spoon, about 10 minutes. Taste for seasoning.

Carve the turkey and serve with cider pan juices.

Resting tip: Slow-roasted meats need far less resting time (pretty much none) than those that are traditionally roasted.

The reason for resting meat that has been roasted at a high temperature is to allow juices that have collected in the cooler center time to migrate back into the dryer (hotter) exterior sections after it comes out of the oven.

Because slow-roasted meats are cooked evenly and at a temperature that keeps most

of the juices in place, a resting period is largely unnecessary.

A brief resting time does allow

the meat to become a little firmer as it cools, making it easier to carve.

Cranberry-Infused Cocktail for Autumn Entertaining Besides the ubiquitous pumpkin spice, nothing says autumn more than tart cranberries. Cranberries are a major component of Thanksgiving feasts, turning up alongside and atop turkey as well as in quick breads and desserts.

Cranberries are loaded with health benefits, which include reducing the risk for ulcers and preventing gum disease. Also, just eight ounces of cranberry juice cocktail contains 137 percent of the daily recommended value of vitamin C. Cranberries can even be used to craft great cocktails. Move over mulled ciders, this crisp Cranberry Margarita from the Cape Cod

Cranberry Growers Association makes a great autumn-inspired beverage.

Just in Time for Holiday Shopping…

MACY’S DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN STAGES GRAND REOPENING WITH POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE

Venerable Fulton Street retailer adds light and space and style after three-year renovation

BY ANDY KATZ EDITORIAL@ BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM

The moment Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, Macy’s CEO Jeffrey Gennette, Macy’s Downtown Store Manager Kizzie Tunson and Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce COO Rick Russo cut the red ribbon, a flood of eager shoppers filled the venerable Fulton Mall retailer’s renovated main floor.

Led by the Soul Tigers Marching Band, the first 100 customers were presented with $10 gift cards by store staff, while Macy’s executives stood nearby, beaming like proud parents showing off their newborn.

“The renovation of Macy’s Downtown Brooklyn illustrates our firm commitment to

the Fulton Street retail community and our loyal customers,” said Tunson. “We are proud to present our customers with an updated store environment, enhanced merchandise offerings, and an elevated level of customer service.”

The Fri., Nov. 9 ribbon-cutting capped a three year, topto-bottom renovation aimed at opening up spaces that had previously seemed dark and slightly claustrophobic when compared to Macy’s flagship Herald Square store.

Elevations in some of the floors have been removed, creating a unified level surface throughout. The sense one might have had in the past of Macy’s Fulton being comprised of separate retail outlets under one roof is gone.

In fact, viewing the main sales floor from the Fulton Street entrance, it’s difficult to tell the difference between the Downtown Brooklyn and Herald Square locations, at least at first blush.

“We want our customers to be able to focus on the shopping experience,” said Emily Hawkins, Macy’s media relations director.

Cutting the ribbon. purchased the building at 422 Fulton Street with plans to transform the upper five floors into offices for tech and creative businesses. Macy’s retains the lower four stories, affording some 278,000 square feet for retail operations.

A Fulton Street fixture since 1865, Macy’s Downtown began as Abraham and Straus, the latter representing the Straus brothers, Isidor and Nathan, who had also acquired ownership of R.H. Macy.

In 1928, A&S underwent a massive expansion of 422 Fulton, including excavating a new basement. Its grand reopening took place just 10 days before Black Thursday, when Wall

Street crashed. Economizing by putting employees on commission, A&S weathered the Great Depression without laying off a single worker.

The current Art-Deco façade along Fulton Street was completed in 1929.

According to published reports, Macy’s strategic vision for the Downtown Brooklyn store includes establishing a fashion hub that will serve neighborhoods from Manhattan Beach to DUMBO. Brands such as DKNY, Patricia Nash, Brahmin and Radley fill the main floor. The cosmetics department has been expanded to 18,000 square feet, featuring Dior, Bobby Brown,

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams greets constituent after cutting ribbon to open Macy’s Fulton Mall.

Kiehl’s, Urban Decay, NYX, IT and Juicy Couture.

The lower level is dedicated to furniture and home goods; menswear occupies the second floor—with a big and tall department for good measure, women’s ready-to-wear fills the third, and the fourth floor rounds out with children’s clothing, intimate apparel and outerwear.

In addition to Starbucks, a LensCrafters has been added

to the main floor, near the Livingston Street entrance.

Now that the Downtown Brooklyn Macy’s is every bit as bright and spacious as the Herald Square flagship, only time will tell if it draws the crowds for which 34th Street is renowned.

For the moment, it seems as though the chance to browse unimpeded by mobs of tourists will be one few Brooklyn residents will willingly pass up.

Target Cuts Ribbon on its Newest Store in Midwood

BY JAIME DEJESUS JDEJESUS@BROOKLYNREPORTER. COM

Right on Target!

The retailer cut the ribbon on its newest Brooklyn location, 1712 East 14th St., in Midwood, in an invite-only store preview event on Wed., Nov. 7.

The store — which is near Kings Highway — is one of the new small-format stores the chain has been opening in urban areas, dense suburban neighborhoods and near college campuses. Last fall, Target launched a 20,400-square-foot location at 6401 18th Avenue in Bensonhurst.

The store opened unofficially on Fri., Nov. 9, with its official grand opening on Sun., Nov. 11 at 8 a.m., but Team Leader Shena Pender told this paper about the excitement the latest iteration of Target has already brought to the neighborhood.

“I think what makes this Target location unique is that it’s a small format store, but the size of it is 37,000 square feet so it’s not the usual small format store that you’re used to seeing,” she said, pointing out that the Bensonhurst store is “a little bit smaller.

“We have a great assortment that we are going to offer for our community,” Pender continued. “They’re just excited that Target is here and we also have a Starbucks. A lot of guests have been knocking on our doors wanting to come in.

The new Midwood Target.

“They’re really excited it’s really close,” she added. “Typically, they’re a train ride away.”

Pender said she anticipated “a lot of great foot traffic from the people that live in the neighborhood and don’t have to take that long train ride to get there.”

That was one of the goals of building owner Infinity Real Estate, according to

Steve Kassin, a founder and managing partner. With roots in the neighborhood, Kassin told this paper, “We hope residents and those who work here will welcome the convenience and accessibility Target’s new small format store will provide to all.”

The Midwood store — in an area that Infinity Investment

Director Daniel Gluck called a “vibrant, high-density and convenient neighborhood in the heart of Brooklyn” — offers a product selection that is familiar to Target shoppers, but tailored for local residents and commuters.

“One of the special areas is electronics,” Pender said. This includes Plus Mobile for cell phones.

In addition, she said, staffers in the store’s beauty department have had extra training “to be able to support the guests in any way they can.”

The Midwood Target’s grocery department is also a specialty area.

“Being that there are no bigger grocery stores in the area, I’m really excited that we offer that to our guests,” said Pender, who also singled out the store’s apparel department.

“They’re going to love the stuff that we have for them,” she said.

Merchandise at the store includes a curated assortment of men’s and women’s apparel and accessories, as well as clothes and accessories for infants and children, home and decor essentials, health and beauty products, toys and sporting goods, and more. It will also offer a quick-trip selection of food and beverages.

Community outreach is typically an important part of what Target does and this location is no exception.

“We pride ourselves on volunteering,” Pender said, adding that she was “looking forward” to being contacted by local organizations about volunteer opportunities for Target staff.

In addition, she noted that the store had given a grant to a local not for profit, Imagine Academy, whose mission is for to help families of children that have been diagnosed with autism.

“It’s a new partnership,” Pender added. “I’m looking forward to seeing what we can create in the relationship and how we can help them spread the message and also any activity we can be supportive in. We would love to be a part of that.”

The new Midwood Target is the third small-format store to open in Brooklyn. Its hours are Monday through Friday, 7 a.m.-10 p.m.; Saturday, 8 a.m.11 p.m.; and Sunday 8 a.m.-10 p.m. The Starbucks hours are Monday through Friday, 7 a.m.-9 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday, 8 a.m.-9 p.m.

NYC is the arts capital of the world. However, Optimum Cable does NOT carry America’s only arts network, OVATION TV in the Bronx, Brooklyn and Long Island.

Ovation TV celebrates art and culture and amplifies the good work of local artists including ones in our own communities.

We want Optimum to offer OVATION TV to our communities...just like the other New York City cable companies do.

We think it’s time for Optimum to carry OVATION TV. We are a growing coalition of artists from the Bronx, Brooklyn and Long Island who want Optimum to put its customers first and carry Ovation TV. Visit ArtistsAgainstOptimum.org and join the coalition to tell Optimum to carry OVATION TV now!

Where: Park Slope/Old Stone House (336 3rd Street) BROOKLYN: A NEW HOME, A NEW LIFE As they watched the Trump administration’s Muslim ban and subsequent restraining orders move closer to the Supreme Court, outgoing Teen Council Members identified immigration as the timely and broad topic for 2018. 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.

Zedek has received wide acclaim for her intense vocal performances and guitar playing in past projects Come, Uzi, Live Skull, and most recently her new trio E with Gavin McCarthy (Karate) and Jason Sidney Sanford(Neptune).

Since the dissolution of Come, Zedek has focused her solo efforts on more vulnerable, stripped back arrangements. Her new album Fighting Season combines the grit of her past with the fragility of her solo releases, spinning tales of discord and struggle from the personal to the political and featuring performances by old friends Chris Brokaw (Come) and J. Mascis (Dinosaur Jr.).

Through her exceptional songwriting and performances, Thalia Zedek’s fervent passion can be felt more than ever on Fighting Season, from blustering swirls of dissonance to hushed whispers.

Theatre forVesta Kids Furniture and Families OpensDream in Park Slope Family-Owned is a Life-Long for Owners

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.

Steve Casa and his wife Lucia prepare for the ribbon-cutting at Vesta Furniture.

By John Alexander INBrooklyn

Steve Casa has a fascinating story to tell about how his whole life has revolved around furniture, even before he came to own and operate Vesta Furniture at 1647 Bath Avenue. But clearly, the family-run business is his passion and the culmination of a dream.

Casa emigrated to America from Italy in July, 1968, with his parents and seven siblings. In 1973 when he was a sophomore in high school, his brother helped him land a job with John Turano and Sons, a wholesale furniture distributor in Greenpoint.

Casa’s job was to sandpaper the chairs to get them ready to go into the finishing department. On weekends he would deliver furniture for the business.

Casa was living in Bensonhurst at the time and learned that Turano had another furniture store called Gemma Furniture, located on 18th Avenue.

Turano offered Casa a job in the retail store to set up and clean the furniture. Casa worked there during his junior and senior years in high school when he was the captain of the soccer team. He proudly recalls leading his team to the New York City finals one year.

Born and raised in Sicily, Casa was 11 years old when his family settled on Bath Avenue in Bensonhurst. Now, he runs the family business with his wife Lucia, who helped encourage Casa to open Vesta Furniture.

“My wife, who came here from Naples, and I met through the furniture industry,” Casa told this paper. “While I worked for John Turano and Sons, she worked for Seaman’s Furniture and Levitz’s

Father Michael Gelfant of St. Finbar Catholic Church performs a blessing at the grand opening of Vesta Furniture.

Furniture. That’s how we made our connection. We were both divorced and each had two kids, a boy and a girl.”

Casa places a strong emphasis on family and says that everything he and his wife do is for their children, Vincent, Joseph, Grace and Jennifer.

Three of their children are married and Joseph is preparing to wed in April.

Casa shared a charming anecdote about how he and Lucia came to select the name Vesta for their business. “We have five grandchildren, Vincent, Emma, Samantha, Tyler and Antonio and we took the first letter from each their names for Vesta.”

And while not officially working for Vesta, all of the couple’s children and their spouses help out whenever they can.

When asked what makes Vesta Furniture stand

out from other furniture stores, Casa again emphasized the importance of it being a family-run business.

“Aside from the fact that we only sell quality furniture, we sincerely care about our customers,” Casa said. “I treat every customer who comes through the door with golden gloves. My wife and I are friendly people and we are very people-oriented so we make all our customers feel at home.”

Casa proudly recalls a recent customer coming back just to tell him and his wife that they not only helped him with his furniture purchase but made him feel like family in the process.

“He said I went other stores and they just didn’t seem to care, but you made me feel so comfortable here,” Casa recalled. “Well, he’s come back three times and that says it all.”

The family toasts the grand opening of Vesta Furniture.

Maimonides Raises Flag to Raise Awareness to Lung Cancer

BY JAIME DEJESUS JDEJESUS@BROOKLYNREPORTER. COM

Shining a light on lung cancer.

To mark the beginning of Lung Cancer Awareness Month, Maimonides Medical Center, 4802 10th Avenue, held a flag-raising ceremony on Fri., Nov. 2.

President and CEO of Maimonides Medical Center Kenneth Gibbs discussed the challenges in the treatment in lung cancer, starting with the allocation of government funding essential to providing quality care.

Citing the “tremendous amount of challenges in health care,” Gibbs said, “We witness it very visibly with our political system that can’t really handle the issue of how to correctly allocate resources for the benefit of our population with regard to healthcare.

“It’s an incredibly serious issue,” he stressed, “and part of that issue is having the resources for wellness and prevention so we aren’t at the back end treating problems when they’re too late. Lung cancer is one of the illnesses

BRIEF HISTORY: Bedford-Stuyvesant The site of Bedford was acquired by the Dutch West India Company in the 1630s and 1640s from the Canarsee Indians, but as early as 1790, more than a quarter of its residents were of African descent.

The area was primarily used for farming throughout the 18th century and was occupied by British troops after the Battle of Brooklyn in the Revolutionary War. When slavery was abolished in New York State in 1827, blacks still found it difficult to buy land, but their persistence

made them successful in eventually buying.

subway reached the area in 1936.

William Thomas and James Weeks, both African-Americans, bought land in the 1830s that would eventually become the settlements of Carrville and Weeksville, encompassing an area almost as large as modern-day Bedford-Stuyvesant.

The increased population made housing scarce and unemployment prevalent with landlords lacking the funds for upkeep on their buildings.

Transportation innovations of the Brooklyn and Jamaica Railroad in 1836 brought in Irish, German, Jewish, Scottish and Dutch Americans. New immigrants from Europe, the south United States and the Caribbean then moved in after the

With grassroots advocacy in its roots though, BedfordStuyvesant picked itself back up with the help of the BedfordStuyvesant Restoration Corporation and other advocates who created a legacy of landmarked historical sites.

It starts with a Shake Shack and ends with a cemetery.

How can you resist?

If you want to walk to Queens from Downtown Brooklyn, Willoughby’s a fine way to go.

For part of your stroll, you’ll notice this photogenic thoroughfare is called Willoughby Street — which begins as a pedestrian plaza alongside the 409 Fulton St. Shake Shack. On the far side of Fort Greene Park, Willoughby Street becomes Willoughby Avenue.

Eye-catching new apartment towers and landmarked houses line Willoughby Street/Avenue. It slices through Clinton Hill, Bedford-Stuyvesant and Bushwick.

We split our story of our walk into three parts so we could show you as many photos as possible. This is the final installment, Part Three.

inscribed on a Lewis Avenue building facade.

According to a 2015 DNAinfo story, Mike Kohn’s Alliance Private Capital Group plans to convert the portion of the property that had been St. John’s College into a 120unit apartment building.

— Continued on page 29INB —

Development Planned at St. John the Baptist Site The Prince of American Catholic Architects left an impressive legacy.

Revered 19th-century architect Patrick Charles Keely designed an estimated 700 religious buildings in his long career.

One of the Irish immigrant’s finest creations is St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church on Willoughby Avenue in Bed-Stuy.

The Romanesque-style granite beauty’s cornerstone was laid in 1888.

The years have not been kind to St. John the Baptist. These days, Masses are celebrated in a small chapel that has been carved out of the church’s sanctuary. The rest of the church’s interior is open only on special occasions.

The church property at 75 Lewis Ave. also includes a mammoth building that housed St. John’s College for many decades, until that institution moved to Queens.

The Vincentian Fathers established the parish and the college. Their name is

BEDFORD-STUYVESANT As the hyphenated name implies, the neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant, more commonly referred to as Bed-Stuy, has a dual history.

In the 1630s and 1640s, the Dutch West India Company acquired woodlands from the Canarsie Indians and named it Bedford. Also known as Bedford Corners, it was the first major settlement east of what was then known as the Village of Brooklyn.

Neighboring Stuyvesant Heights, farmland that became a community after the Revolutionary War, was named for Peter Stuyvesant, the last governor-general of New Amsterdam before it was ceded to the English.

The neighborhood was an agricultural area through most of the 18th century, aided by black African slaves who helped the Dutch farm the lands.

In 1827, when slavery was officially abolished in New York State, Brooklyn became a popular settlement area for free blacks from the South. William Thomas and James Weeks, both free blacks, pur-

chased adjoining property in the neighborhood from Henry C. Thompson, another free black property owner. Thomas’ land eventually became Carrville, which no longer exists. Weeks cut up his property into plots to sell to other blacks. This area became known as Weeksville and was home to more than 800 residents. Weeksville had its own school, churches, and its own abolitionist newspaper, The Freedman’s Torchlight.

The completion of the Brooklyn Bridge and the elevated subway in the 1880s made the area more accessible and new immigrants poured into the neighborhood.

Weeksville, a key part of what became BedfordStuyvesant, was largely forgotten in the 1930s. The last of its dilapidated houses were set to be demolished before they were rediscovered and restored in 1968 and the area opened for public tours as the Weeksville Heritage Center.

Today, Bedford-Stuyvesant, in north-central Brooklyn, is the largest black neighborhood in New York.

A developer plans to do a residential conversion at 75 Lewis Ave.

Take a Stroll to Queens From Downtown Brooklyn, Part Three — Continued from page 28INB — We looked at city Finance Department records and found a memorandum of lease Kohn and church rep Paul A. Michels signed. The lease, which began in March 2014, has an initial 49-year term plus two renewal options, each 25 years long.

If reading this gives you a sense of deja vu, it’s because a church mentioned in Part Two of this story is also planning residential development on part of its property.

As for St. John the Baptist, the church and Alliance Private Capital Group jointly applied to the city Board of Standards and Appeals for a waiver so the developer wouldn’t have to build 60 parking spots.

In May, the board dismissed the waiver application.

A Wedge-Shaped Apartment Building

As you continue your Willoughby Avenue stroll, you’ll soon see a recently constructed, wedged-shaped rental-apartment building beside the overhead train tracks on Broadway.

Its addresses are 1000 Broadway and 865 Willoughby Ave. Yoel Goldman is a member of the LLC that did the development — and bought the site from the Rose of Sharon Church of Christ Disciples of Christ Inc. for $1,237,500 in 2013, Finance Department records show.

Goldman is a Brooklyn real estate investor and developer whose firm is called All Year Management.

Long Live Theobald Engelhardt

After you cross Broadway, you’re in Bushwick. At the end of the first Willoughby Avenue block in the neighborhood, you’ll find landmarked Catherina Lipsius House at 670 Bushwick Ave.

Lipsius and her family owned a brewery in the area. Her American Round-Arched-style mansion, built in 1889 and 1890, has a mansard roof and a skinny rounded turret topped by a pointy roof like a witch’s hat.

The red-brick house is trimmed with stone and terra cotta.

Theobald Engelhardt designed Catherina Lipsius House.

The Brooklyn-born, Cooper Union-educated son of German immigrants was the architect for numerous Brooklyn mansions, churches and industrial buildings.

A Statue with a Hollywood Actress’ Face

Across the street from Catherina Lipsius House, there’s a tiny city park called the Freedom Triangle. A stunning bronze World War I memorial statue graces the .004-acre greenspace.

The statue designed by sculptor Pietro Montana is called Victory with Peace. It was erected in 1921.

It’s an early 20th-century version of Nike, the classical Greek winged goddess — with a Hollywood actress’ face.

The actress, Claudia Deloney, was a friend of more famous movie star Gloria Swanson, the city Parks Department’s website says.

Once you walk past the Freedom Triangle, Willoughby Avenue crosses Myrtle Avenue, which, like Broadway, has overhanging train tracks.

The first thing you’ll see is Charles Place, a picturesque dead-end street.

On one side of it, there’s wedge-shaped 1215 Myrtle Ave., where a bar called Birdy’s is located.

On the other, there’s 941 Willoughby Ave., a mural-covered brick rowhouse where coffee shop Little Skips can be found.

Willoughby Avenue resumes on the far side of the park, which is bordered by Irving Avenue. There are beautiful rowhouses on this corner.

Willoughby Avenue Ends at a Cemetery

When you continue strolling, there’s an especially finelooking cluster of golden-brick rowhouses with windowsills arched like eyebrows on the corner of Wyckoff Avenue. The address is 1318-1328 Willoughby Ave. As Finance Department records indicate, the property belongs to Wyckoff Heights Realty Inc., whose president is Solomon Jacobowitz. In 2006, this entity paid $4.8 million for a package of buildings on Wyckoff and Willoughby avenues that includes 1318-1328 Willoughby Ave., the records show.

On the final stretch of Willoughby Avenue, the terrain is hilly.

Willoughby Avenue’s last Brooklyn block runs between St. Nicholas and Cypress avenues. Then you cross Cypress Avenue, and you’re in Ridgewood, Queens.

Willoughby Avenue continues into Ridgewood for a couple blocks. It ends at Woodward Avenue, which borders Linden Hill United Methodist Cemetery.

The cemetery was founded in 1842 and is now nonsectarian, its website says.

This handsome apartment building is on the corner of Willoughby and Lewis avenues.

A Park Named after a Bushwick Activist

Modern apartment buildings and old-fashioned houses mingle on the next several blocks.

Iglesia San Jose Patron has eye-popping murals with Biblical figures on walls surrounding a parking lot.

Willoughby Avenue temporarily disappears at Knickerbocker Avenue because that’s where Maria Hernandez Park is located. The City Council named this greenspace in 1989 for a Bushwick activist who fought to get drug traffickers off the streets of her neighborhood — and was shot dead.

Keep Your Brain in Shape With Better Hearing

He currently holds his audiology clinical competency certificate (through the American Speech Language Hearing Association). Dr. Saleh earned his Doctorate in Audiology from the University of Florida.

earing loss can lead to many difficulties in everyday situations. The ability to understand a speaker can depend on factors other than hearing sensitivity. A normal hearing listener would struggle in a situation with background noise, competing signals, and lack of visual or contextual cues. These effects are magnified for a listener with impaired hearing.

As approximately 37.5 million Americans suffer from hearing loss, according to the American Academy of Audiology (AAA), here are some common signs of hearing loss to look out for:

Photos courtesy of SUNY Downstates

1) constantly asking for repetitions, 2) feeling that others are either speaking softly or mumbling, 3) difficulty hearing at a party or in a restaurant, 4) missing parts of a word or sentence, and 5) turning up the television volume.

Unmanaged hearing loss can lead to a higher risk of isolation, social withdrawal, anxiety, depression, fatigue, memory loss, and is shown to have a higher correlation with the development of dementia. A study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society has found that the rate of cognitive decline was slowed by 75% following the use of hearing aids to manage a hearing loss. While cognitive decline cannot be stopped, this rate of reduction is considered to be significant and substantial.

It is important to remember that hearing loss can affect our pediatric population as well. Universal newborn hearing screenings (NBHS) are now mandatory for all newborns. Early detection and intervention of hearing loss in newborns is essential in promoting speech, language, social, and cognitive development.

The University Physicians of Brooklyn (UPB)-Brooklyn ENT-Audiology Division offers a variety of audiological and electrophysiological testing, including comprehensive diagnostic audiological evaluation and hearing tests for adults and children, auditory brainstem response testing, balance assessments, newborn hearing screenings, and hearing aid evaluations and fittings through N.Y. Audio Associates Inc.

FAITH IN BROOKLYN NYC College of Technology Marks 80th Anniversary of Kristallnacht Tragedy Recent Acts of Violence Against Jews Underscore Lessons of Kristallnacht

By Francesca Norsen Tate Religion Editor

The annual Kristallnacht observance that New York City College of Technology’s Jewish Faculty & Staff Association has sponsored for 30 years focuses on the night of violence against the Jewish communities and businesses

NYC College of Technology President, Dr. Russell K. Hotzler, with honorees Edith Everett and program coordinator, Dr. James Goldman.

across Europe.

The year 2018 marks the 80th anniversary of the atrocities and a turning point in the Nazis’ rise to power. Many concerned citizens of Jewish and other faiths today see a new resurgence of neo-Nazi and white nationalist groups.

This year’s City Tech observance, which took place on Nov. 7, paid homage to the 11 people killed at Tree of Life Synagogue on Oct. 27 and emphasized the urgency of educating the next generations on the Holocaust and the factors that led to the genocide.

Dr. Russell Hotzler, president of the college, provided background on Kristallnacht, also known as “Night of the Broken Glass,” calling it a plundering of synagogues, homes and Jewish homes, with the intention of driving Jews out of Germany.

“The timing of today’s program could not be more pointed, given recent acts of hatred and bigotry … Clearly the worst anti-Semitic act that has ever taken place in this country,” he said. Extending condolences to the victims and their families, Hotzler said, “We condemn the hatred and the violence which counter the American principles of inclusion and religious freedom as embedded in our Constitution. We stand together in condemning these actions and those who violate those values.

“As an educational institution, we hold an obligation and a responsibility to instill in our students and ourselves, a fundamental understanding of right and wrong, of common respect, of justice,” Hotzler continued, with passion in his voice.

“And one of the ways we do that is ensuring that we learn about and from history; that we protect the validity of that history; that we pass it on, and that we draw strength and wisdom

from it to ensure a better world,” he added. “Today’s program — our distinguished speakers, our honorees and presenters — all help to fulfill that responsibility. I sincerely welcome them and look forward to learning from them.”

However, the Kristallnacht observance also paid tribute to the survivors, and to the people who — notwithstanding great risk to themselves — hid and protected Jews.

One of the beneficiaries of this protection, Brooklyn Heights resident Suzanne Loebl, a Belgium Holocaust hidden child, received the City Tech JFSA Distinguished Lifetime Achievement Award. Edith Everett, an educator, community leader, philanthropist and humanitarian, received the college’s 2018 Distin-

guished Humanitarian Award.

As the gathering celebrated those who saved the Jews saved during the Holocaust, another dramatic moment developed during the Nov. 7 program when a quick-acting City Tech student named Raven Hampton came to the rescue of Loebl’s husband when he fell unconscious during the program.

Hampton, who has experience as an EMT, resuscitated Mr. Loebl and administered CPR. Dr. James Goldman, representing the Jewish Faculty & Staff Association, commended Hampton in an email distributed to the college’s president and administration, writing, “You are an exemplar for City Tech students and for all EMS individuals.”

Rev. Dr. Storrs Marked 50th Jubilee As Church of the Pilgrims’ Pastor

By Francesca Norsen Tate Religion Editor

The George R. Mathison Memorial Scholarship Competition winners for 2018, left to right: Roshan Chakane, Evan Currie and Austin Philemon.

INBrooklyn File Photo by Francesca N. Tate

Earlier this year, the American Guild of Organists-Brooklyn Chapter awarded three young promising musicians prizes as part of its George R. Mathison Memorial Scholarship Competition. This Sunday, Nov.18, at 5 p.m., the Brooklyn AGO chapter will host the Scholarship Winners’ Organ Recital at St. Ann and the Holy Trinity Church.

This year’s winners are Austin Philemon, of the Manhattan School of Music; and Evan Wesley Currie and Roshan Chakane, both of

Rutgers University. These brilliant performers are preparing a banquet of organ works which they’ll perform on the church’s landmark 1925 Skinner pipe organ.

The suggested donation for this concert is $20, all of which is applied to the George R. Mathison Memorial Scholarship Competition Fund for future years.

As is always the case, when the term “suggested donation” is used, it is truly just a suggestion; the AGO will gratefully accept donations of any size.

The Brooklyn Eagle of Sat., Nov. 14, 1896 carried full page coverage of the anticipated “semi-centennial” of the Rev. Dr. Richard Salter Storrs, pastor of the Church of the Pilgrims.

Storrs had been born in Braintree, Mass. on Aug. 21, 1821. At the time of this golden jubilee, he was in his 76th year.

Situated at the corner of Henry and Remsen streets, Church of the Pilgrims actually pre-dated its sister Congregational community, Plymouth Church, which was established three years later, with the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher as its founding minister.

The Church of the Pilgrims was formally established on Dec. 22, 1844, although a church building had begun construction just five months earlier.

That building would finally be dedicated in May, 1846. But Storrs, like his colleague Beecher, would also gain renown, and would actually live to serve Church of the Pilgrim for 50 years.

Dr. Richard SaltThat Eagle edition, in addition to er Storrs, from the Sat., Nov. 14, 1896 edition of the describing Storrs’ expected historical Brooklyn Daily Eagle.

ON NOV. 15, 1948, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported, “London, Nov. 15 (U.P.) — Princess Elizabeth rested comfortably at Buckingham Palace today after the birth of her first son, a prince who may someday be king, and all Britain threw off its somber austerity reserve for a rousing celebration. The prince, second in line to the British throne after his mother, arrived at 9:14 p.m. (4:14 p.m. Brooklyn time) yesterday. Elizabeth, 22, was in labor less than two hours, and the delivery was understood to have been relatively easy … The Daily Express speculated that the child would be known as Prince George of Edinburgh. Elizabeth was known to have a strong preference for the inclusion of the name of her father, King George, in that of her firstborn … Several hundred persons gathered this morning before the palace where 10,000 massed last night when the birth was imminent and shouted their regard for the members of the royal family. Of Philip they roared, ‘For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow.’”  ON NOV. 15, 1860, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported, “Last night the Wide Awakes gave vent to their enthusiasm at the recent victory of the party, for whose success they labored so earnestly, by a parade. The companies participating were the South Brooklyn Irrepressibles, Lincoln Battalion of the Rocky Mountain Club, Eleventh Ward Zouaves and Eleventh Ward Wide-Awakes. They formed on Montague Street about 8 o’clock, where they received the City Wide Awakes from New York. The line of march was then taken up through Henry, Union and Court streets, First Place, Clinton, Pierrepont, Hicks, Clark, Fulton, Tillary and Adams streets, Myrtle Avenue, Prince, Willoughby and Duffield streets, Fulton Avenue to the City Hall, where the procession was dismissed. The torches, the music, the steady bearing and the picturesque effect of the lights and the uniforms attracted a large crowd in the several streets through which the procession passed. Several banners were carried in the procession, one of which bore Jefferson’s apothegm — ‘Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.’”  ON NOV. 15, 1889, the Eagle reported, “The World newspaper writer, who uses the pen name of Nellie Bly, and the book reviewer of the Cosmopolitan magazine, Miss Elizabeth Bisland, have become rivals in a novel task. The newspaper has started Nellie Bly around the earth eastward and the magazine has started Miss Bisland around the earth westward. The object of each is to accomplish the circuit of the globe in the shortest possible time, and each will be desirous of traveling more quickly than the other. Nellie Bly left on a steamer for Southampton yesterday morning. Miss Bisland left for the Pacific Coast on the Central Hudson express at 6 o’clock last night.

The ocean voyager did not know the railway traveler was to undertake the trip, because arrangements for the latter were not made until the programme of Nellie Bly’s journey had been announced. Each is expected to arrive in New York about the 25th of January, the object being to ascertain if the journey can be made inside of 75 days.”

ON NOV. 13, 1951, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported, “Brooklyn’s War Memorial, complete in its park-like setting and fittingly dedicated, stood today in Cadman Plaza Park, a tribute to more than 7,000 Brooklynites who gave their lives in World War II and a testimonial to the borough’s faith in the future and its hopes for peace. The shafts of the late afternoon sun lighted the white limestone and granite monument yesterday as at the close of the ceremonies the Rev. Daniel J. Potterton, chaplain, Catholic War veterans, prayed: ‘Bless our war dead, oh God. Enlighten our leaders in Thy peace. To Thee, oh God, we look that we may never have to build another war memorial.’ An American legionnaire in red and blue dress uniform then solemnly played taps from a raised platform.

A delegation of white-haired Gold Star Mothers echoed the closing prayer.”  ON NOV. 13, 1918, the Eagle’s Washington bureau reported, “Rep. Frederick C. Hicks of Long Island has introduced a bill to make Nov. 11 a national holiday, to be known as Victory Day. Up to the present time Congress has never created a national holiday by legislation. It is Mr. Hicks’ idea that Nov. 11, which marks the surrender of Germany, should always be celebrated in commemoration of the achievements of the American Army. His bill is as follows: “That in recognition of the glorious victory won for human liberty by the American forces in the conflict against Germany and her Allies and to perpetuate for all time the bravery, courage and valor of those forces, by which a complete and absolute victory was obtained, Nov. 11 is hereby declared to be in each succeeding year a national holiday throughout the United States, its possessions and the territories thereof. That this national holiday shall be designated Victory Day.”  ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON WAS BORN ON NOV. 13, 1850. The Scottish author is best known for “Child’s Garden of Verses” and novels such as “Treasure Island” and “Kidnapped.” Stevenson died in Samoa in 1894.

You Should Know This • The “Betty Boop” cartoon character was the subject of a lawsuit by the popular singer Helen Kane, who claimed her singing style had been ripped off.

TAKES MOST INS. & MEDICARE

• Billy West, the voice of Stimpy, is also the voice of Fry on Futurama.

• Mark Hamill was actually the voice of The Joker in Batman: The Animated Series and the Hobgoblin in Spider-Man.

Brooklyn Daily Eagle cover from Nov. 14, 1918

ON NOV. 14, 1918, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported, “With the American Army in France, Tuesday, Nov. 12 (A.P.) — To be taken prisoner by American troops was the experience last Friday of Brig. Gen. Douglas MacArthur, a brigade commander of the 42nd Division. The 1st and 42nd Divisions were advancing rapidly that day toward Sedan and in the region of Autrecourt the lines of the two divisions became crisscrossed. Gen. MacArthur, who was at the head of the advance of his men, was taken prisoner by soldiers of the First Division, who could not believe that any Americans were ahead of them. The situation was explained quickly and Gen. MacArthur released.”  ON NOV. 14, 1931, the Eagle reported, “Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 14 — Gov. [Harvey] Parnell has appointed Mrs. Hattie Caraway to the United States Senate to succeed her husband, Thaddeus H. Caraway.

The governor has also made it known that he will ask the State Democratic Committee to nominate her to fill the unexpired term ending in 1933. The committee meets Dec. 1. Mrs. Caraway is said to be willing to accept the appointment. Mrs. Caraway will be the second woman to occupy a seat in the Senate. In 1922 Mrs. Rebecca L. Felton of Georgia served a courtesy appointment for two days.”  ON NOV. 14, 1940, the Eagle reported, “The Board of Estimate in City Hall today voted — amid scenes of disorder and screams of ‘You skunk!’ — to erect a $17,000,000 sewage disposal plant at the foot of 69th St., near Owl’s Head Park, in Bay Ridge. Bay Ridge residents strenuously opposed a sewage plant in their midst and a large delegation, headed by State Senator Philip Kleinfeld and City Councilmember Joseph Sharkey, was there to express that opposition … From the crowded audience, made up almost completely of Bay Ridge citizens, came a chorus of boos and catcalls when the final vote was taken, and a woman in the crowd screamed at [City Council President Newbold] Morris, ‘You skunk, you! I hope you get the stink in your nose.’ ‘I’d like to see the sewage plant on Park Ave.,’ added [Borough President John] Cashmore. ‘Mr. Morris would not be so ready to approve it.’”

You Should Know This • An estimated one in ten of Americans could be a blood relative to one of the original 102 pilgrims who arrived aboard the Mayflower in 1620.

• The day Congress voted us free from British rule is July 2, 1776. July 4 is just when John Hancock put the first signature on the Declaration of Independence to spread the word.

• Who was the only president born in Illinois?

Ronald Reagan.

• When told that his salary was greater than that of President Warren G. Harding, New York Yankees legend said, “I had a better year than he did.”

Michelle Obama’s Memoir is Next Pick for Winfrey Book Club

By Hillel Italie, AP National Writer The Associated Press

Michelle Obama’s “Becoming,” already expected to sell millions of copies, now has the official backing of Oprah Winfrey.

“This book is everything you wanted to know and so much you didn’t even know you wanted to know. I believe it’s going to spark within you the desire to think about your own becoming,” Winfrey, who on Monday told The Associated Press in a statement that she had selected “Becoming” for her book club. “It’s so well-written I can hear her voice; I can hear her expressions; I can feel her emotion. What she allows us to see is how she was able to discover, define and then refine her voice.”

In “Becoming,” Obama shares such deeply personal revelations as suffering a miscarriage and sharply criticizes President Donald Trump for promoting the false “birther” rumor that Barack Obama was not a U.S. citizen. The former first lady’s book was released yesterday and is among the most anticipated political memoirs in years, topping Amazon.com’s best-seller list throughout the weekend. On Monday, Barnes & Noble announced that pre-orders for “Becoming” were the highest for any adult book since Harper Lee’s “Go Set a Watchman,” which came out in 2015.

Winfrey, publishing’s most established hit maker, knows the Obamas well, to the point where Michelle Obama and Ellen DeGeneres once teased each other over who was closer to her. Winfrey was a prominent backer of Barack Obama’s candidacy in 2008 and has interviewed both Obamas over the years. She was scheduled to be onstage Tuesday night with Michelle Obama at Chicago’s United Center, the first stop on Obama’s promotional tour.

“Thank you, Oprah!” Obama tweeted Monday. “I’ve been so grateful for your friendship and advice for so long. And now I’m honored to join your amazing book club!”

Winfrey already has taped an interview with Obama, which airs Thursday on the OWN network, and excerpts of the book will appear in O, the Oprah Magazine and in Elle. A two-part podcast will run Thursday and the following Monday, Nov. 19.

“Becoming” is Winfrey’s first pick by an author from the political world since she started her club in 1996, although Obama has said repeatedly she has no interest in running for office. Winfrey’s previous picks have ranged from novels such as Colson Whitehead’s “The Underground Railroad” and Tayari Jones’ “An American Marriage” to Anthony Ray Hinton’s memoir “The Sun Does Shine.”

“The word ‘genius’ is used so indiscriminately in our culture that its meaning, even when applied to such masterworks as the Brooklyn Bridge, has become completely diminished,” says photographer Barbara Mensch.

In “In the Shadow of Genius: The Brooklyn Bridge and Its Creators,” Mensch combines her striking photographs with a powerful first-person narrative to cast a unique light on the concept of genius.

“The obsession I had with capturing these images was in part my way of summoning up the great minds behind the work, and seeking some universal truths in the process,” Mensch said. “It was through the process of retracing their steps through history that I sought a greater understanding of the ingredients and characteristics needed to achieve a work of lasting significance.”

The book begins with Mensch’s personal experience of having lived for decades in the shadow of the Brooklyn Bridge, on the top floor of a 19th-century maritime warehouse. She then shares her personal quest to understand the brilliant minds and remarkable lives of those who built it: John, Washington and Emily Roebling (who was recently featured in The New York Times as a woman whose contributions had previously been overlooked.)

Following in their footsteps, Mensch traveled to Mulhausen, Germany, where John Roebling was born in 1806; to Saxonburg, Pennsylvania, where he established a utopian community in 1831; to Roebling aqueducts and bridges in Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York; and to the Civil War battlefield in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where Washington Roebling, a military engineer, valiantly served. Mensch concludes her evocative story with unique photographs of the Brooklyn Bridge, including never- before-seen images captured deep within the structure of the bridge.

“In the Shadow of Genius” builds upon David McCullough’s seminal 1972 book “The Great Bridge” by introducing new documents unavailable to him, including letters, notes and drawings. The letters shed

In her new book, photographer and author Barbara Mensch explores the minds behind the Brooklyn Bridge.

‘In the Shadow of Genius’ Explores the Minds Behind the Brooklyn Bridge

light on the troubled relationship between John Roebling, the designer of the Brooklyn Bridge, and his son Washington, who became its chief engineer upon the sudden death of his father. Also included are moving passages of Washington Roebling’s Civil War memoirs, which are still only partially published.

This book is the second in a series. In the highly praised “South Street,” Mensch documented her neighborhood in transition — the lower Manhattan waterfront below the Brooklyn Bridge — and captured the nocturnal gritty world of the men who worked the docks and storefronts of the Fulton Market. Over time, her interest and passion for capturing images of the waterfront shifted to the bridge itself, and in the period of the past several decades Mensch has created arguably one of the most comprehensive visual records of the Brooklyn Bridge, both inside and out.

Mensch is a contemporary photographer who probes her subject matter with the curiosity and stamina of a detective. Her widely regarded images have been the subject of numerous articles in numerous publications, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, the New York Observer and Time Out. She has published two books on New York’s legendary Fulton Market, now demolished, which she photographed under the scrutinizing eyes of federal law enforcement and the organized crime community.

Her work is represented by museums and collectors, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of the City of New York and the Bibliotheque Nationale.

Mensch is collaborating with producer Spike Jones Jr. on a miniseries for television based on her book.

“In the Shadow of Genius” was published by Fordham University Press and was released on Oct. 11.

When it Came to Racism, the Pen Was Stan Lee’s Superpower

By Terry Tang and Corey Williams The Associated Press

Stan Lee was a seminal part of Miya Crummell’s childhood. As a young, black girl and self-professed pop culture geek, she saw Lee was ahead of his time.

“At the time, he wrote ‘Black Panther’ when segregation was still heavy,” said the 27-yearold New Yorker who credits Lee with influencing her to become a graphic designer and comic book artist. “It was kind of unheard of to have a black lead character, let alone a title character and not just a secondary sidekick kind of thing.”

Lee, the master and creator behind Marvel’s biggest superheroes, died at age 95 on Monday.

As fans celebrate his contributions to the pop culture canon, some have also revisited how the Marvel wizard felt that with great comic books came great responsibility. When black people were risking their lives in the 1960s to protest discrimination where they lived and worked, Lee enacted integration with the first mainstream black superhero. Black Panther, along with the X-Men and Luke Cage, are on-screen heroes today. But back then, they were the soldiers in Lee’s battle against real-world foes of racism and xenophobia.

Under Lee’s leadership, Marvel Comics introduced a generation of comic book readers to the African prince who rules a mythical and technologically advanced kingdom, the black ex-con whose brown skin repels bullets and the X-Men, and a group of heroes whose superpowers were as different as their cultural backgrounds.

The works and ideas of Lee and the artists behind T’Challa, the Black Panther; Luke Cage, Hero for Hire; and Professor Xavier’s band of merry mutants — groundbreaking during the 1960s and 1970s — have become a cultural force breaking down barriers to inclusion.

Lee had his fingers in all that Marvel produced, but some of the characters and plot lines “came from the artists being inspired by what was happening in the ‘60s,” said freelance writer Alex Simmons.

Still, there was some pushback by white comics distributors when it came to black heroes and characters. Some bundles of Marvel Comics were sent back because some distributors weren’t prepared for the Black Panther and the kingdom of Wakanda developed by artist and co-creator Jack Kirby.

“Stan had to take those risks,” Simmons said. “There was a liberation movement, and I think Marvel became the voice of the people, tied into that rebellious energy and rode with it.”

Lee also spoke to readers directly about the irrationality of hate. In 1968, a tumultuous year that saw the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., Lee wrote one of his most vocal “Stan’s Soapbox” columns calling bigotry and racism “the deadliest social ills plaguing the world today.”

“But, unlike a team of costumed super-villains, they can’t be halted with a punch in the snoot, or a zap from a ray gun,” Lee wrote.

Marvel’s characters always were at the fore-

front of how to deal with racial and other forms of discrimination, according to Mikhail Lyubansky, who teaches psychology of race and ethnicity at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. With the X-Men, many readers saw the mutants, ostracized for their powers, as a commentary on how Americans treated blacks and anyone seen as “the other.”

“The original X-Men were less about race and more about cultural differences,” Lyubansky said. “Black Panther and some of the (Marvel) films took the mantle and ran with the racial issue in ways I think Stan didn’t intend. But they were a great vehicle for it.”

Some of the efforts to break out minority characters haven’t aged well. Marvel characters like the Fu Manchu-esque villain The Mandarin and the Native American athletic hero Wyatt Wingfoot were considered groundbreaking in the ‘60s and ‘70s, but may seem dated and too stereotypical when viewed through a 21st-century lens.

“It’s interesting. Stan Lee kind of takes the credit and the blame, depending on the character,” said William Foster III, who helped establish the East Coast Black Age of Comics Convention and is an English professor at Naugatuck Valley Community College in Waterbury, Connecticut.

Foster, who started reading Marvel Comics in the 1960s, said even doing something as minor as including people of color in the background was monumental.

“Stan Lee had the attitude of ‘We’re in New York City. How can we possibly not have black people in New York City?’” Foster said.

Blacks began taking on the roles of heroes and villains. Foster said some characters may have been seen as “tokenism” but that’s sometimes where progress has to start.

In 10 years, the Marvel Cinematic Universe films have netted more than $17.6 billion in worldwide grosses. The “Black Panther” movie pulled in more than $200 million in its debut weekend earlier this year. Next year, actress Brie Larson will take flight as “Captain Marvel.” An animated movie centered on Miles Morales, a half-black and half-Puerto Rican teen who inherits the Spider-Man suit, will drop next month. And there continues to be interest around Kamala Khan aka Ms. Marvel, the first Muslim superhero.

“I had a lot of white friends growing up,” said freelance writer Simmons, who is black.

“We watched ‘Batman’ and we also watched ‘The Mod Squad.’ My personal belief is that if you put the material out in front of folks and they connect with it, they are going to connect with it.”

For many fans and consumers, it’s about the product not the skin color or sexual orientation of the character, he added.

Crummell, the comic book artist, said she thinks representation for minorities and women in comic books is improving.

“I think now, they’re seeing that everybody reads comics. It’s not a specific group now,” Crummell said. “It’s not just African-American people — it’s women, it’s Asians, Hispanic characters now. I would credit Stan Lee with kind of breaking the barrier for that.”

Publisher: NYT Reporters Work On Book about Brett Kavanaugh The Associated Press Two journalists who helped cover the confirmation process of Brett Kavanaugh are working on a book about the newest Supreme Court justice.

Portfolio says Wednesday that it has a deal with New York Times reporters Kate Kelly and Robin Pogrebin for “The Education of Brett Kavanaugh.”

The publisher says the book will focus on the “many unanswered questions” about

Kavanaugh, who faced allegations of sexual harassment and assault stemming from his years in high school and college.
