Islanders Return to Basics to Break Slump

By John Torenli Greenpoint Gazette

The Islanders have gone from the biggest defensive sieve in the NHL to the stingiest squad on the 32-team circuit within the span of a calendar year.

And head coach Barry Trotz knows his playoff-hopeful unit will have to continue its penchant for blocking shots and limiting its opponents’ activity in the offensive zone if it hopes to return to the postseason for the first time in three seasons.

“We played Islander hockey for a little bit,” Trotz said with a smirk after watching the Islanders complete a big 2-0 blanking of visiting Columbus Monday night in front of 11,827 fans at NYCB Live in Uniondale, New York.

“More than anything, we raised our battle level, and that’s where it starts.”

The Isles, who lead the NHL in goalsagainst average after yielding the most goals and shots against a season ago, had surrendered 11 tallies over their previous three contests before buckling down against the Blue Jackets.

Mayor pledges solutions to early school lunchtimes

By David Brand Greenpoint Gazette

The mayor and the schools chancellor pledged on March 11 to address extremely early lunch times at New York City public schools, saying they would take action to ensure students are eating lunch “at an appropriate time.”

Roughly 55 percent of New York City schools begin serving lunch before 11 a.m., the Daily News reported on March 10. A month earlier, City Limits found that lunch times began as early as 8:58 a.m. at some schools and reported on the prevalence of early lunch times in low-income communities.

“That has to change; it’s unacceptable,” said Mayor Bill de

Blasio during a press conference about a new “Meatless Monday” school food initiative.

“I am a parent, and I can say parents don’t want to see that for their kids.”

The extremely early school lunchtimes result from the city’s policy of co-locating schools in the same building, City Limits and the Daily News reported.

The arrangement forces multiple schools to share the same lunchroom while navigating the challenge of feeding thousands of children.

“Lunch should be lunch. It should not be somewhere between breakfast and lunch,” said Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza. “Our goal is to make sure that students are SERVING GREENPOINT FOR OVER

eating lunch at an appropriate time. That being said, there are a lot of moving parts, especially in schools where you have a lot of co-located schools.”

Schools across the city contend with early lunchtimes, but the problem is more common in lower-income communities, which feature more co-located schools than wealthier neighborhoods, City Limits reported.

Carranza described his own experience as a principal at a 4,000-student school with a cafeteria that only fits 420 students.

“So lunch has started — I kid you not — started at 9:30 in the morning, and it was seven lunch periods to feed all 4,000 students,” he said. “Obviously we had to do something different.”

Carranza said principal

fully addressed. He said building new schools or renovating existing ones would enable more students to eat lunch closer to midday.

“We have to find a different way of addressing when kids eat lunch,” de Blasio said. “It may take some time and some real resources but we have to find a way.”

Brooklyn Councilmember Mark Treyger, chairperson of the Council’s Education Committee and a former public school teacher, said the Department of Education needs to compile more data on school lunchtimes.

“First, we need a lot more data than we have right now,” Treyger told City Limits last month. “And second, how do we challenge the system to build programming around the needs of kids?”

Islanders Return to Basics continued from page 1

Thomas Greiss, serving as primary goaltender while Robin Lehner continues his comeback from an upper-body injury (concussion), stopped all 31 shots he faced for his fifth shutout of the campaign and second against Columbus this year.

Defenseman Ryan Pulock’s goal at 6:11 of the opening period stood as the game’s only score until team captain Anders Lee put the Blue Jackets away with his team-leading 24th tally into an empty net with 1:30 remaining in regulation.

“I think that’s what we needed to get out of the little rut we were in,” said Isles forward Cal Clutterbuck after returning to action following a threegame absence due to injury.

“We just needed someone

coming in who is hungry and ready to play and who forces us to elevate our level. I think we elevated our level.”

The win also elevated the Isles back within two points of defending Stanley Cup champion Washington for the top spot in the Metropolitan Division standings, and moved New York eight points clear of Columbus, which is currently clinging to the final playoff spot in the tightly packed Eastern Conference.

“It seems like those two points are always worth more than two,” Lee noted as the Isles readied for Thursday night’s clash with playoffhopeful Montreal at the renovated Nassau Coliseum.

“This was a big one tonight. Looking forward to our next one.”

2ND DEPARTMENT / NEW BUSINESS FORMATIONS 11249

advisory teams and Department of Education officials are discussing possible remedies to ensure students eat later in the day.

The issue of early lunchtimes has persisted for years in New York City. In 2014, the Daily News and WNYC analyzed school lunchtime data and found that 56 percent of schools began lunch before 11 a.m. City Limits reviewed the current lunchtimes at the 75 schools that began serving before 10 a.m. in 2014 and found that 41 percent of those schools still do so.

At least 25 Queens schools that began serving lunch before 10 a.m. in 2014 still do so, including six that serve at 9:30 a.m. or earlier, City Limits found.

In Brooklyn, there are still 13 schools serving lunch before 10 a.m., including four that serve at 9:30 or even earlier.

De Blasio said the issue reminded him of the push for air conditioning and universal physical education classes at schools — two issues the city success-

What does it mean to be in love? For eight years, in images, writing and life, plain and simple, we have tried to tease out the answer. Love is a cliche, an idea so easy to imagine but impossible to grasp. Like an overripe fruit, it collapses with a bit of pressure into

cloying sweetness and the faint sense of something lost. At its most basic, falling in love means cleaving away something of yourself and becoming something else.

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

When We Were Strangers is the first part of a lifelong project deconstructing love through the prism of our relationship. This first chapter is a love poem of sorts, one that charts what happens when two people attempt to become something more and less than that, when we are more unknown stranger to each other than anything else.

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

OTHER WAYS OF KNOWING In our modern society, imagery is read instantly and without question. Other Ways of Knowing looks at how we see in order to challenge how we acquire knowledge. By questioning our relationship to images, we can look at the ways we’re fed imagery on a daily basis and teach us how to discern for ourselves what that imagery means to us.

Other Ways of Knowing references illusion and misdirection traditionally designed to influence choice and transforms them into a new visual language. This digital iteration of Other Ways of Knowing features new additions to the series never exhibited before. The screens in the Made in NY Media Center will challenge the viewer to interact with a screen – a daily routine part of our lives – within a new context, one where you’re asked to stay for longer.

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

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

Frida Kahlo: Appearances Can Be Deceiving is the largest U.S. exhibition in ten years devoted to the iconic painter and the first in the United States to display a collection of her clothing and other personal possessions, which were rediscovered and inventoried in 2004 after being locked away since Kahlo’s death, in 1954. They are displayed alongside important paintings, drawings, and photographs from the celebrated Jacques and Natasha Gelman

Five Favorite Sights in Crown Heights South

Start With Doctor’s Row and You Can’t Go Wrong

By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn

Once upon a time, Brooklyn’s best surgeons congregated on President Street.

It became a hot spot for medical professionals to live a century ago and earned the nickname Doctor’s Row, which endures to this day.

The mansions that line President Street blocks between New York and Kingston avenues in Crown Heights South are gracious designs surrounded by lawns.

Just a few blocks away, large-scale development is planned at the Spice Factory, whose address is 960 Franklin Ave. But on today’s wintry stroll, we’re sticking to Doctor’s Row and the immediately surrounding streets, where the housing stock is lovely and largely low-rise, and a sense of serenity pervades.

If you’re taking the subway to Crown Heights South, why not ride the 2 train to the President Street-Nostrand Avenue stop? It’s just a block away from Doctor’s Row.

‘IMPRESSIVE CONCENTRATION OF FREESTANDING MANSIONS’

A 1978 city Landmarks Preservation Commission report about a proposal to create a Crown Heights South Historic District provides details about numerous properties in the neighborhood — including homes on Doctor’s Row. The area did not win landmark designation, though it deserves to do so.

Doctor’s Row is “one of the most impressive concentrations of freestanding mansions in the city,” the report says.

The houses were built between 1899 and 1930. They were designed in various architectural styles.

For instance, 1290-1294 President St., which William Debus designed in 1911, has a neo-Renaissance-inspired flat roof and a Beaux-Arts Classical Revival-style portico, the report says.

One of our favorite Doctor’s Row houses is 1281 President St. It’s clad in orangey-hued brick and has a big, beautiful round turret topped by a roof that’s shaped like a witch’s hat.

J.L. BRUSH DESIGNED THESE CARROLL STREET HOUSES Around the corner from Doctor’s Row, there’s a second spot that’s a favorite of ours — the Carroll Street block between Kingston and Albany avenues.

Eye on CROWN HEIGHTS

This Doctor's Row house at 1281 President St. has a terrific turret.

Pretty porches grace 1298 President St. at left and 1290-1294 President St. at right on this Doctor's Row block.

Five Favorite Sights in Crown Heights South — Continued from page 12INB — On the end of the block near the Kingston Avenue intersection, there’s a row of sophisticated red-brick houses with squared-off facades topped by tiny roofs. Above the roofs, there are decorative brick elements that look a bit like crowns.

Near that corner, you’ll see the landmark-worthy Loews Kameo Theatre, which opened in 1925, a posting on the website Cinema Treasures says.

A church currently owns the dramatic property at 530 Eastern Parkway.

There’s an eye-catching row of brick rowhouses with rectangular facades and dramatic windowsills. Out front, there’s a shrubbery hedge like you’d see in the suburbs.

Further down the block, there are handsome standalone brick houses. The porches are brick, too, which is interesting looking.

SEMI-DETACHED BROWNSTONES ON CARROLL STREET Next we’re circling back to Carroll Street, to a sweet block between Nostrand and New York avenues.

It has pairs of brownstones with curvy facades.

Each pair stands together like it’s a single house.

LIMESTONE ROWS ON NEW YORK AVENUE

Standalone houses with distinctive brick porches can be found at 443 Crown St. at right and 441 Crown St. at left.

INBrooklyn photos by Lore Croghan These houses are very eye-pleasing.

Further down the block, there’s a row of bow-front brownstone and limestone houses the Landmarks Preservation Commission’s report says are “among the finest groupings” in the proposed historic district.

Their addresses are 1401 to 1425 Carroll St. Brooklyn architect J.L. Brush designed them in 1913, the report says.

CHARMING CROWN STREET

Around another corner, the Crown Street block between Kingston and Brooklyn avenues has an intriguing juxtaposition of old-fashioned housing stock.

When you get to the corner of New York Avenue, turn left to find our fifth fine sight in Crown Heights South.

On both sides of the block between Carroll and President streets, there are rows of cylindrical limestone houses. They have such a classic look.

Of course there will be other things you’ll want to see. There’s eye candy everywhere you turn in Crown Heights South.

When you’re ready to depart, why not head to the Eastern Parkway-Nostrand Avenue 3 train station?

Brooklyn Daily Eagle cover from March 12, 1943

ON MARCH 12, 1943, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported, “Washington, March 12 (U.P.) — Rationing of meat, canned meat, canned fish, butter, cheese, edible fats and oils will begin at midnight, March 28, on a basis giving Americans nearly twice as much meat and fats but only half as much cheese as the British are getting. Price Administrator Prentiss M. Brown announced the new rationing program today after Secretary of Agriculture Wickard authorized it last night. Sixteen points per consumer will be allowed for all of the new rationed foods and the consumer can decide upon which of the items he prefers to spend his points. Point values are now being decided and will be announced during the week of March 22 … The new meat-fatscheese rationing program will leave only a few items of food unrationed – such as fresh and frozen fish, poultry and game, breads, cereals and flour, fresh fruits and fresh vegetables.”

Josephine Augello, President 5015 New Utrecht Ave. Brooklyn Daily Eagle cover from March 13, 1928

ON MARCH 13, 1928, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported, “Los Angeles, March 13 (AP) — More than 100 persons were swept to death early today in San Francisquito Canyon, north of here, when St. Francis dam, impounding part of Los Angeles water supply, burst and unloosed a 75-foot wall of water into the narrow valley. Officials expressed fear that the death toll might reach 400.

A telegram received at the sheriff’s office here from Eugene Biscailluz, under sheriff in charge of rescue work, said that 100 bodies had been recovered where the flood waters entered the Santa Paula and Santa Clara rivers. Ten bodies were taken from the canyon this morning and were placed in a morgue at Saugus. What caused the retaining parapet of the great reservoir to give way suddenly was almost as much of a mystery as the number of dead that lay buried beneath the deep covering of yellow sand which now carpets the pretty little valley.”

ON MARCH 14, 1939, the Eagle reported, “Bratislava, Slovakia, March 14 (U.P.) — Slovakia proclaimed its independence of Czechoslovakia and Josef Tiso was named president and premier of a new republic of Slovakia at a German-sponsored meeting of the Slovak Parliament today. Prof. Albert Tuka, veteran Separatist leader, was named foreign minister.

Thus the post-war Republic of Czechoslovakia collapsed under the military threat of Nazi Germany’s ‘march to the east.’

The Central Czechoslovak Cabinet at Prague, bowing to Hitler’s ultimatum, resigned and announced the dissolution of the Czechoslovakian state. As the new republic was proclaimed, Hungarian troops battled their way into Czechoslovakia and the government sent an ultimatum to Prague demanding within 24 hours withdrawal of Czech troops from Carpatho-Ukraine.

The Hungarian troops, it was officially said in Budapest, had marched into Carpatho-Ukraine on a 15-mile front … German troops, massed near the border, were expected to cross into Czech territory at any time.”

Domino Park, Filmmaker and Library Win Municipal Art Society Honors

Another view of Williamsburg’s Domino Park, which is a recipient of a MASterworks Award.

Greenpoint Gazette

A prestigious civic organization has singled out Williamsburg’s waterfront Domino Park, a Brooklyn-based filmmaker, and a Sunset Park library for their contributions to the cultural life of New York City.

The Municipal Art Society selected Stephen Maing as the recipient of its 2019 Brendan Gill Prize for his high-impact documentary about the NYPD called “Crime + Punishment,” the arts group recently announced. And the organization chose Sunset Park Interim Library and Domino Park as two recipients of its MASterworks Awards.

The Municipal Art Society, known by its acronym MAS, is a 125-year-old advocacy group that promotes diverse neighborhoods, urban planning that’s mindful of community needs and the preservation of historic and cultural landmarks.

An intimate look at NYPD whistleblowers The Municipal Art Society gives the Brendan Gill Prize to the creator of a specific book, play, film, painting or other work “that best captures the spirit and energy of New York City,” the awards announcement said.

Maing, the 2019 winner, is an Emmynominated documentary maker. His film “Crime + Punishment” earned a Special Jury Award at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival.

The documentary offers an intimate look at a group of whistleblower officers called the NYPD12 who filed a class-action lawsuit that challenges policing quotas.

In its awards announcement, the Municipal Art Society calls the film “a masterful example of filmmaking, both in craft and content.”

Maing spent four years making the film, which he crafted from more than 1,000 hours of footage.

“This is not just about disgruntled cops who have a bone to pick or want to be famous and make money,” Maing told the Guardian in a 2018 interview. “They’re cops who believe in the mission of policing itself.”

sugar production started on the property in the 19th century. The park displays gantry cranes and other equipment salvaged from the Domino Sugar Refinery, which operated on the site until 2004.

Domino Park, which extends between Grand Street and South 5th Street, also features playground equipment Brooklyn artist Mark Reigelman designed that looks like miniature sugar-factory buildings.

“The project thoughtfully engaged with community stakeholders in the design process and pays respect to the industrial history and features of the site,” the art society said in its awards statement.

Other award winners Other 2019 MASterworks Award-winners include a building at Columbia University’s Manhattanville campus and Phase II of Hunter’s Point South Waterfront Park in Long Island City.

The restoration of 1880s SoHo building 462 Broadway and a waterfront park on the Lower East Side’s Pier 35 also won MASterworks Awards.

The Municipal Art Society’s awards ceremony is set for March 28. It will be held at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem.

New life for an old Brooklyn courtroom The Municipal Art Society is giving the Sunset Park Interim Library a MASterworks Award for Best Adaptive Reuse.

The MASterworks Awards “pay tribute to projects that make a significant contribution to New York City’s built environment,” the organization said in its announcement.

Leroy Street Studio designed a userfriendly space for the Brooklyn Public Library in an old courtroom at the landmarked former Sunset Park Courthouse at 4201 Fourth Ave.

Here’s a glimpse of the Sunset Park Interim Library, which has won a MASterworks Award.
