A 15-member Charter Revision Commission led by Brooklynite Gail Benjamin is going to be looking at everything from how the city’s budget is organized to how land use decisions are made to how lawmakers are elected, with an eye toward making changes.

The City Charter is the blueprint by which the New York functions. The duties of the mayor, the City Council and other officials are all spelled out in it.

It also lays out how many city agencies there and what their functions are.

The commission is going to be conducting a series of public hearings in all five boroughs starting in September. Residents can testify or submit proposals to www.charter2019.nyc/contact or via Twitter at @charter2109nyc.

A second set of public hearings will take place in the spring to gather more ideas. After that, the commission will draft a set of proposals to appear on the ballot on Election Day in 2019.

The commission headed by Benjamin was created by a City Council resolution earlier this year and is not to be confused with the Mayor’s Charter Revision Commission, which is preparing to submit its proposals to the Board of Elections to get them on the ballot Nov. 6.

SEA BREEZE TOWER COMING TO CONEY In another sign of Coney Island’s role as one of the city’s most resurgent neighborhoods, a Brooklyn-based developer has announced that construction has begun on a new commercial-residential tower on Sea Breeze Avenue that will contain more than 100 apartments as well as a fitness center and parking facilities.

RYBAK Development is the firm behind Sea Breeze Tower, a 20-story, 179,863-square-foot building at 271 Sea Breeze Ave. Once it is completed, the building will have 114 residential apartments and 27,000 square feet of ground floor commercial space. The commercial space will be available for rent at $35 per square foot.

The residential apartments will include studios, and one, two and three bedroom units. All of the apartments will boast 11-foot-high ceilings.

The building’s amenities will include a 4-hour doorman, a stateof-the-art fitness center, a playroom, a tenant lounge, an outdoor recreation area, a bike storage area and a parking garage, according to RYBAK Development.

The city approved the permits for Sea Breeze Tower on April 17.

De Blasio greenlights $2.7 billion BQX proposal that removes Sunset Park from Route

BY JAIME DEJESUS JDEJESUS@BROOKLYNREPORTER. COM

T

he city is moving forward with a proposal to connect waterfront neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens with a streetcar.

Mayor Bill de Blasio announced on Thursday that the administration will proceed with revised plans for the Brooklyn Queens Connector (BQX), the nearly $2.8 billion streetcar project that would stretch along the waterfront for 11 miles, connecting to nine ferry landings, 13 subway routes and 30-plus bus lines.

However, there is a major change in the plan. The press release no longer includes Sunset Park as a stop along the projected route. The revised route will connect Astoria, Long Island City, Greenpoint, Williamsburg, the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Downtown Brooklyn and Red Hook.

“The Brooklyn-Queens waterfront has experienced incredible growth.

Now it’s time for our transit system to catch up,” said de Blasio. “The BQX is one of the biggest, most ambitious projects in a generation. It will be a challenge, but New York City is taking it on.”

“The Brooklyn-Queens Connector will serve over half a million New Yorkers who live and work along

the East River waterfront and need modern transportation options that meet their everyday needs,” added NYCEDC President James Patchett. “The BQX will link long-disconnected neighborhoods, shorten commutes to school and work, and provide a 21st century solution to our city’s transit challenges.”

The environmental impact study process will begin this winter, followed by the city’s mandated land use review, ULURP, in 2020.

Construction is expected to begin in 2024 and end in 2029. The city will seek federal funding, among other sources, to deliver the project.

First-year ridership is expected to be 50,000 per day; the cost of a ride is expected to be the same as subway and buses.

“As the Brooklyn-Queens waterfront continues to grow, adding new residents and jobs each year, the city must pursue multiple transportation solutions,” said New York City Department of Transportation Commissioner Polly Trottenberg. “The BQX has the potential to be an integral part of our city’s expanding transportation system. It will complement and connect to our subway and bus system, the NYC ferry, and bike share, while transforming city streets.”

“With the BQX, New York City is taking an intelligent, 21st-century approach to

infrastructure planning, demonstrating that our city can still take on big projects,” added President and CEO of the New York Building Congress Carlo Scissura. “The value capture model is a proven approach to reducing the budget impacts of largescale infrastructure construction. We are excited about how this project can create equitable, sustainable economic growth along the waterfronts of Queens and Brooklyn, as well as its ability to create a blueprint for other projects going forward.”

Value capture is “public financing that recovers some or all of the value that public infrastructure generates for private landowners” according to Wikipedia.

But not everyone is so enthusiastic. Councilmember Carlos Menchaca, for one, cautioned, “We must not forget that the BQX proposal was made by private interests who see an

Waterfront Alliance.

The city hopes to generate $30 billion in economic impact from the project, with around $1.4 billion in value capture to help finance its construction.

The administration also hopes to connect mixed-income neighborhoods to jobs and transit hubs; provide affordable, reliable, and accessible service; and support transit-oriented development and safer streets.

“BQX taps into state-ofthe-art transit tech to respond to and build upon the evolution of the Brooklyn Queens waterfront,” said Deputy Mayor for Housing and Economic Development Alicia Glen. “With more than half a million people now living and working along the projected line and further growth to come, BQX will transform how our city moves.”

The BQX will also connect over 400,000 New Yorkers to emerging employment hubs along the corridor.

Nonetheless, the mayor, speaking at a recent press roundtable with Brooklyn reporters said that it needs a federal subsidy to happen — and there’s no sign of that yet.

“It’s a no-brainer,” de Blasio said during the Aug. 23 event. “The Brooklyn-Queens waterfront is so much of our future.

Figuring out how to do it is what we’ve been focusing on.”

Cops Seek Three Women Wanted in Assault in Bay Ridge

BY JAIME DEJESUS JDEJESUS@BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM

C

Authorities say that on Sunday, July 29 at around 3:48 a.m., nine individuals attacked the pair on Bay Ridge Parkway between Third and Fourth Avenues, punching and kicking them.

EMS rushed the victims to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn. The woman was treated for a broken nose, and received eight stitches above her eye and staples in her head. Her father sustained two black eyes and received four stitches above the lip.

According to the New York Daily News, the altercation that led up to the attack allegedly began inside the Salty Dog. Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).

PRIMARY GUIDE

Gounardes Hoping for One-on-One Rematch with Golden

BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

D

emocrat Andrew Gounardes, who ran against Republican state Sen. Marty Golden six years ago and impressed political observers with his strong showing in Bay Ridge, is itching for a rematch.

But Gounardes’ attention these days is not solely focused on Golden.

Gounardes, a lawyer, is running against fellow Democrat Ross Barkan, a political journalist, in the Sept. 13 primary to win the Democratic Party’s nomination in the 22nd State Senate District.

G ounardes already has endorsements from the Reform Party and the Working Families Party, so he will appear on the ballot no matter what happens on Sept. 13. But a win in the Democratic primary would set up the one-onone rematch with Golden he wants.

In 2012, Gounardes ran for Senate and received more votes than Golden did

Authority (MTA).

“Albany shortchanges our schools,” he said, adding that he would fight to ensure New York City schools get their fair share of funding.

His education platform includes a proposal for statewide pre-kindergarten programs. He said he wants to make quality education from pre-k to college a constitutional right in New York State.

Gounardes supports the Cuomo administration’s Excelsior Scholarship program, which provides free tuition to students attending the State University of New York (SUNY) or the City University of New York (CUNY), but said the program has restrictions that prevent most students from enjoying its benefits.

Because of the requirement that students take a full course load each semester, the program hurts students who have to work and do not take a full course load, he said. “I think people who need the assistance the most aren’t getting it,” he said, adding that he would

seek to expand the program to all CUNY and SUNY students.

Pedestrians are in danger from reckless drivers, Gounardes said. To address the situation, he is calling on New York State to revoke the licenses of dangerous drivers who receive numerous speeding tickets. “If you

get five speeding tickets in a year, it should be grounds for license suspension,” he told this newspaper.

Gounardes wants streets redesigned to make them pedestrian friendly, including installing large curbs at intersections. He also said there should be an education campaign aimed at drivers. “When you renew your license, you should take a refresher course,” he said.

As he campaigns across the district, he has heard many residents express frustration with the MTA. “The biggest problem of the MTA is the lack of accountability to riders,” Gounardes said.

His proposed solution is to reconfigure the MTA board to include five members of the riding public.

“We should give riders from every borough a vote on the board,” he said.

Looking ahead to Bay Ridge’s future, Gounardes is proposing the creation of a waterfront park along Shore Road Promenade. “It could be the crown jewel,” he said.

First Time Candidate Hopes Beginner’s Luck Helps Him Win

BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

oss Barkan, a journalist-turned-candidate, is part of a wave of newcomers that have stepped forward in communities across the country to run for political office in response to the controversial tenure of President Donald Trump.

“There is great fear out there. But there also great hope,” said Barkan, an award-winning political journalist who is running against Andrew Gounardes in the Democratic primary on Sept. 13 for the state Senate in the 22nd Senate District.

The winner of the primary will be the Democratic Party’s nominee to run against Republican incumbent state Sen. Marty Golden in a district that runs from Bay Ridge to Marine Park and includes parts of Dyker Heights, Bensonhurst, and Gravesend.

Barkan isn’t shying away

from the fact that this race marks the first time he is running for public office.

On the contrary, he is using his newcomer status as his calling card.

“I’m an outsider who knows the system inside and out,” he told this newspaper, adding that as a journalist who has written for publications like the Village Voice, the Guardian, the New York Observer and Gothamist, he has covered city, state and federal government issues and has seen how all levels of government have failed everyday citizens.

“We can’t keep doing politics the same way it has always been done before,” he said. “The status quo is not working.”

Barkan said his Senate campaign is exciting and energized, and is getting help from hundreds of eager volunteers. The salaried workers on the campaign recently unionized.

Barkan filed more than 6.100 petition signatures

with the New York City Board of Elections to get on the ballot, far more than the amount needed.

Barkan, who vowed to be a watchdog in Albany, said he has raised more than $150,000 in campaign contributions, mostly from small donors. He does not take money from corporate interests or from real estate developers, he said.

Barkan said he is running because the problems that have hit the city and state have grown too big for lawmakers to stick stubbornly with ideas that don’t work, he said. “Our transportation system is falling apart. Our health care is in crisis. Our quality of life is not getting better. People don’t want to be stuck in the same place forever,” he said.

“We should not have to live in a city where we have to struggle for the basics of life,” he added.

Why does Barkan believe that he would be a better candidate than Gounardes to go up against Golden in

Democrat Ross Barkan says he is running for state Senate because “I’m an outsider who knows the system inside and out.”

November? “Andrew ran before. He did not win,” Barkan said.

Gounardes, who currently serves as chief counsel to Borough President Eric Adams, ran against Golden in 2012 and lost. Gounardes

did capture more votes than Golden did in the Bay Ridge portion of the district, a feat that impressed many political observers.

Barkan said he is eager to defeat Golden but added that he is stressing issues, not personalities, on the campaign trail.

“It’s not just a matter of saying ‘I don’t like Marty Golden.’

You have to offer a vision for the district,” he said.

To fix the subway and bus system, Barkan vowed to overhaul the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to ensure that repairs are fully funded.

Barkan, who did some substitute teaching before becoming a journalist, also has ideas on improving the education system.

“I am a former educator. I understand how important it is to prepare students for the future. The state has underfunded our city schools for a long time. I will fight to reclaim those funds,” he said.

Barkan also wants to expand the state’s free tuition

program to all students attending SUNY and CUNY schools without stringent qualifications. He argued that the state can afford it.

“The state is wasting a tremendous amount of money.

If we cut out the waste, we will find that we have enough funding to provide free tuition,” he said.

Barkan was born and raised in Bay Ridge.

When he was a child, he attended P.S. 185, P.S. 176, the Brooklyn Friends School and Poly Prep Country Day School.

After high school, Barkan attended Stony Brook University, earning a BA degree in English Education.

His favorite parts of campaigning are the visits he makes to subway stops, where he chats with voters on their way to work in the morning.

“I love meeting voters and talking to them. People are very afraid right now. But they are also very hopeful. I love seeing the diversity in this district,” he said.

PRIMARY GUIDE

Frontus Vows to Bring Government Closer to Citizens

BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

D

r. Mathylde Frontus said she’s not afraid of competition, even if it means grooming her eventual replacement.

Frontus, an educator and Coney Island civic activist running in the Democratic primary in the 46th Assembly District (A.D.) on Sept. 13 for the right to run as the party’s nominee in the general election in November, said she is on a mission to bring government closer to the people.

As a way to encourage citizen engagement, she plans to sponsor workshops for people interested in running for public office, even if they want to run for her Assembly seat someday.

“I’m cut from a different cloth,” Frontus told this newspaper.

Among the projects she

would start if she wins election is the creation of a Southern Brooklyn Community Think Tank to promote inventive new ideas on improving the quality of life for residents.

Frontus vowed to bring participatory budgeting to the Assembly district if she becomes the next assemblymember. A popular program in New York City, participatory budgeting allows everyday citizens to vote on which capital budget projects they would like to see in their neighborhood.

Speaking of budgets, Frontus said she would also push for more transparency in the state budget process. She is floating a proposal to list the discretionary budget items of every lawmaker online.

“I don’t want to go to Albany and do business as usual,” she said.

Frontus comes from the world of academia.

She earned a Master’s degree in social work at NYU. She also holds a Master of Arts degree in psychology from Teachers College at Columbia University, a Master of Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School, and a Ph.D. from the Columbia University School of Social Work.

Prior to running, Frontus was an adjunct assistant professor at Columbia University, where she taught a course in advocacy. She has also taught courses in advocacy and social justice at New York University (NYU).

Eager to give the Assembly district a fresh start, Frontus has been touting her credentials as a community activist on the campaign trail.

after college. I made the choice to come back and work to make Coney Island a better place to live. I have worked hard and I have a record of leadership and service that the voters can look at and judge me on,” she told this newspaper.

Frontus founded Urban Neighborhood Services,

a social services agency, started a project to help local military veterans, created an LGBT Outreach program, organized the group Coney Island College Bound, which offers free SAT prep for high school students and founded the Coney Island Anti-Violence Academy.

The 46th A.D. is diverse, “but there are issues facing the entire district,” Frontus said.

Housing is one.

“One universal issue is affordable housing and the lack thereof. There is a shortage of affordable apartments for regular people to find,” Frontus said.

She also questioned the criteria used by the city to determine what constitutes affordability. “What is affordable is questionable,” she said.

Frontus called for larger

Lustig-Elgrably Says Government Experience Gives Him Advantage

BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

W

hen Ethan Lustig-Elgrably is out on the campaign trail, he talks about what he has already done for the residents of the 46th Assembly District (A.D.) as well as what he plans to do for them if he wins the seat.

Lustig-Elgrably, former chief of staff to Councilmember Mark Treyger, is touting his experience in government as a reason his fellow Democrats should vote for him over his opponent Mathylde Frontus.

“I have the background and experience. I have gotten real, tangible results for the community,” he told this newspaper. In addition to working for Treyger, he recently worked for the Parks Department.

Among the projects he worked on as Treyger’s top aide was Hurricane Sandy relief.

A year after the storm, many residents had still not received help, Lustig-Elgrably said.

So Treyger and staff got to work.

“We delivered billions of dollars to the district. We secured grants for public housing,” Lustig-Elgrably said, adding that several New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) buildings in Coney Island sustained significant damage in the storm.

Treyger, chairperson of the council’s Recovery and Resiliency Committee, held a hearing in Carey Gardens in Coney Island to hold the city’s feet to the fire. Lustig-Elgrably helped set up the hearing. “We shined a light on the issue,” he said.

He vowed to have the problem-solving attitude as a lawmaker. “I will go up to Albany

system so that the trains can run more frequently, he said. That will take lots of money. He called on the state to establish “some sort of dedicated revenue stream” for the transit system.

Education is another important issue.

Elementary and middle schools in District 20 have a “large overcrowding problem,” Lustig-Elgrably said. “We need to site new schools in Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights. We have to make this happen.”

Lustig-Elgrably pointed to housing as a key issue.

“These programs have to be fully funded. These programs fall into bureaucracy,” she said.

She also charged that local schools are not properly funded. “Millions of dollars are sitting on the table.

There is state funding that has not being distributed.

We have to do better for our public schools. I will be fighting in Albany for every single cent owed to each one of our schools,” she said.

Schools are also lacking in essential, life-saving programs, according to Frontus.

“The lack of mental health services in schools is appalling to me,” she said. “We have a community where children hear gunshots.

You have a community hit

by Hurricane Sandy. These things have an effect on children,” she said.

A QUICK HISTORY OF THE DISTRICT

E

than Lustig-Elgrably and Mathylde Frontus are running against each other in the Sept. 13 primary to see who will be the Democratic Party’s candidate in the Nov. 6 election.

The winner of the primary will face Republican Steve Saperstein.

The 46th A.D. includes Coney Island, Sea Gate, Brighton Beach, Bath Beach, Dyker Heights and Bay Ridge.

The district has had a troubled history in recent years.

The two previous people who held the assembly seat, Democrats Alec Brook-Krasny and Pamela Harris, were both immersed in scandal.

Both were indicted on corruption charges. BrookKrasny was hit with fraud and other charges stemming from a medical lab he worked in after he left office in 2015.

Harris, who won BrookKrasny’s seat in 2015, pleaded guilty earlier this year to a slew of charges, including fraud and witness tampering. She admitted illegally diverting funds mean for a non-profit organization to her own personal use. She resigned from office.

Speeding Drivers Beware: Cameras Back in School Zones

BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

J

ust in the nick of time, before 1.1 million students return to school, Mayor Bill de Blasio signed a bill on Tuesday, Sept. 4 allowing the city to hit drivers once again with tickets for speeding in school zones.

Under a law that went into effect immediately after de Blasio signed it, the owners of vehicles caught by a camera in a school zone exceeding the speed limit by more than 10 miles an hour will be slapped with a $50 ticket.

The bill was signed one day before the opening of city schools on Sept. 5.

The law is currently enforced at 140 school zones.

De Blasio announced that the city will be expanding the use of speed cameras to another 150 school zones, bringing the total number to 290.

Tuesday’s bill signing was the result of an agreement brokered by City Council Speaker Corey Johnson between de Blasio and Gov. Andrew Cuomo to

reactivate speed cameras after a state-sponsored pilot program authorizing the use of the cameras expired on July 25.

During the 2017-2018 legislative session, the Democratic-controlled state Assembly passed a bill to extend the pilot program until 2022. But the Republican-controlled state Senate did not take a vote on the bill. The legislative session ended in June.

An emergency declaration signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Aug. 27 paved the way for the city to take action.

In the executive order, the governor authorized the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles to permit New York City to have access to records kept by the agency on drivers recorded speeding on camera.

The council then took a vote authorizing the cameras to operate and de Blasio signed the council’s bill.

The two actions, the governor’s emergency declaration and the council’s vote, amounted to an end-run around the state Senate.

Mayor Bill de Blasio and council Speaker Corey Johnson with supporters of speed cameras at the emergency bill signing.

Normally, state legislation would be required to issue summonses to speeding drivers caught on camera.

Cuomo’s emergency declaration changed that equation, giving the city the green light to take action.

“The clock has been ticking, and the state Senate has refused to provide speed cameras to protect the lives

of our school children,” de Blasio said. “We refuse to let their politics endanger our children, so the city is stepping up to provide these life-saving tools just in time for when 1.1 million children return to school.”

Educators, police officials, transportation safety advocates and health care experts all expressed relief

that the speed cameras were back in operation.

“As 1.1 million students return to school for the start of a new year, I’m relieved that this life-saving safety measure will be in place in more school zones than ever before,” Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza said.

NYPD Chief of Transportation Thomas Chan added,

“Speed cameras play a critical role in keeping students, school staff and families safe, and losing them would have been devastating.”

Speed cameras have reduced traffic injuries by 17 percent, according to the city’s Department of Transportation. Speeding in schools zones has decreased by 63 percent since the cameras were installed.

And 81 percent of drivers who received one speed camera-related ticket never get another summons.

“The issue of pedestrian and bicyclist safety on our city’s streets must be viewed and treated as a public health crisis,” said Dr. Nicholas Gavin, chief of Emergency Medicine at NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn. “When we have chosen to address public health issues in the past, whether it be smoking or the opioid crisis, we have chosen to use multi-faceted interventions that are proven to be effective. Speed safety cameras around our schools are proven solutions that make the streets safer for our children.”

Coney Island Parachute Jump Lights T.E.A.L. for Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month

BY MEAGHAN MCGOLDRICK MMCGOLDRICK@ BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM

F

or the fourth year in a row, Tell Every Amazing Lady About Ovarian Cancer Louisa M. McGregor Ovarian Cancer Foundation, also known as, T.E.A.L., kicked off the beginning of Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month by lighting up a beloved Brooklyn landmark.

On Saturday, September 1, the non-profit organization joined friends, family and supporters at the foot of Coney Island’s storied Parachute Jump, 1000 Surf Avenue, to light it teal in the name of ovarian cancer awareness.

T.E.A.L. CEO Pamela Esposito-Amery and her sister, the late Louisa McGregor, co-founded T.E.A.L. in 2009.

“We’re both born and raised in Brooklyn so it’s always exciting to have anything lit up in the borough of Brooklyn,” said Esposito-Amery after last year’s lighting. “It’s really nice just to have Brooklyn shine for ovarian cancer.”

According to Esposito-Amery, events such as the lighting help spread

the word. “The mission is to spread awareness of ovarian cancer, raise funds for medical research and support survivors,” she explained. “By lighting a monument, it might get women to a doctor earlier and save lives. We had lots of volunteers, survivors and families affected by diseases.”

The landmark’s LED technology also allowed the Parachute Jump to spell out T.E.A.L. Special to this year’s lighting was a partnership with the Brooklyn Cyclones – and an award for the group’s fearless leader.

“This year we also had the support of the Brooklyn Cyclones,” Esposito-Amery said, adding that, alongside allowing T.E.A.L. to have a table at the Saturday night game, the CEO herself was given a “Winning Woman” award on the field.

Teaming up with the Cyclones was extra special to Esposito-Amery, who also threw out the first pitch.

“They made announcements during the first inning and when the Parachute Jump was lit, the announcer told everybody to look,” she said. “I was very honored to be a part of that.

The Brooklyn Cyclones really went above and beyond to help spread our message.”

September, she said, is just as special.

“September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month so it’s really great to be able to kick that off in Coney Island,” she said. “It helps us raise awareness for all women and men affected by it.”

“This is an extraordinary organization made up of courageous people that has turned pain into purpose in order to save li ve s ,” w rote Councilmember Mark Treyger on social media after attending the lighting, which he said he is “honored” to do each year.

“Ovarian cancer is a disease that is rarely detected early and has plagued too many families,” he went on. “That’s why it is so important to raise awareness and educate families The Parachute Jump lit teal. about early detection measures.” weapon in the fight against According to Esposi- ovarian cancer is education. to-Amery, the strongest “There’s no screening

Supporters of the effort. test,” she stressed. “So, one of the most important things is education and awareness.”

Esposito-Amery urges everyone to visit T.E.A.L.’s website, www.telleveryamazinglady.org, for a list of signs and symptoms.

“Our message is in our name,” she said. “It’s all about telling every amazing lady.”

T.E.A.L. will also be hosting its milestone 10th annual Walk/5K Run on Saturday, September 8, beginning at

the Prospect Park Bandshell, Ninth Street and Prospect Park West.

For 5K runners, the cost to participate is $30; $25 for walkers. To purchase tickets and for more information, visit www.tealwalk. org/brooklyn.

The group has already raised more than $100,000 towards its $250,000 goal.

In addition to the Parachute Jump, Brooklyn Borough Hall will be lighting teal for T.E.A.L. through the night of the walk.

Brooklyn Hospitals Treat Opioid Addiction in Emergency Rooms

BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

S

omeone dies from a drug overdose every seven hours in New York City.

That sobering statistic comes from the city’s Department of Health (DOH) to illustrate New York’s drug crisis.

In 2017, there were 1,441 overdose deaths with 80 percent of them involving opioids.

But important progress is being made in the effort to save lives, according to DOH. DOH announced on Aug. 21 that two Southwest Brooklyn hospitals are among the handful of medical facilities around the city that have been named by the agency as medical centers now able to treat opioid-addicted patients right in their emergency rooms with a powerful drug called buprenorphine.

Maimonides Medical Center at 4802 10th Ave. and NYU Langone Hospital–Brooklyn at 150 55th St. in Sunset Park are part of the DOH’s anti-drug HealingNYC program.

As part of HealingNYC, Maimonides and NYU Langone can now offer buprenorphine to patients to enable them to begin treatment of their opioid addiction before they leave the hospital.

The emergency is key because many patients are rushed to a hospital’s ER with drug overdoses, according to DOH. Buprenorphine is an effective tool that not only treats opioid addiction but reduces the risk of a patient suffering

Dr. Samuel Stroupe, director of Psychiatric Emergency Services at NYU Langone Hospital–Brooklyn, says the new program should be expanded to all hospitals in the city.

an overdose, DOH officials said.

By administering buprenorphine in the emergency room, doctors can immediately treat patients experiencing opioid withdrawal symptoms.

“By offering buprenorphine in the emergency department, patients and providers can seize the moment and begin this essential medication,” said Dr. Mary Bassett, the city’s health commissioner.

After leaving the hospital, the patient can obtain a buprenorphine prescription containing enough medication to last until he or she is able to see a doctor for a follow-up appointment.

Dr. Samuel Stroupe, director of Psychiatric Emergency Services at NYU Langone Hospital–Brooklyn, said the buprenorphine program should be expanded to all hospitals in New York City.

“Timely interventions like these are saving lives and significantly increasing our patient’s ability to recover from opioid addiction. We feel strongly that these programs should be expanded everywhere,” Stroupe said.

Kenneth Gibbs, president and CEO of Maimonides called buprenorphine “a valuable tool” in treating drug addiction.

“Providing buprenorphine to appropriate patients is another valuable tool in helping our diverse patient base find the addiction treatment that will become a lasting solution for each of them,” Gibbs said.

Maimonides is also a participant in the NYC Relay Program, an effort that connects drug overdose survivors to social service agencies that can help them.

The stakes couldn’t be higher, according to DOH, which said that more than 10,000 non-fatal opioid overdoses take place in the city each year.

In 2017, more than 14,000 New York residents received buprenorphine to treat their opioid addiction.

Life in Coney Island: Beach, Boardwalk, Rides and GED Classes

oney Island is world famous for its glorious beaches, its landmark Boardwalk, the Cyclone and Nathan’s Famous. But beyond the tourist attractions, Coney Island is also a vibrant neighborhood whose residents work hard, pay their taxes and who sometimes need extra services to help them move their lives forward.

Residents who never graduated from high school are getting a second chance in life thanks to an innovative new program championed by a local lawmaker who has teamed up with a city agency and two non-profit organizations to bring free high school equivalency classes to the neighborhood.

PAL Touts Success of Early Childhood Education Program

BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

T

he Police Athletic League is famous for the recreational programs it runs for children during the summer as well as for the “Police Commissioner for a Day” essay contest it sponsors every spring.

But the 104-year-old organization also operates a program that doesn’t get much notice: an early childhood education program with sites in Brooklyn and Queens.

“Preparing our children and families for success through quality early education is our priority,” said Dr. Asneth Council, PAL’s director of Child Care and Nutrition.

More than 600 children attend classes at PAL’s Early Childhood Education Centers including Brooklyn’s PAL Carey Gardens, PAL La Puerta Abierta, and the Arnold and Marie Schwartz Early Learning Program in Coney Island; PAL World of Creative Experiences in Brownville and PAL Roberta Bright in East New York.

PAL centers incorporate educational ideas that are used in Head Start as

well as in universal pre-kindergarten classes. The children get the opportunity to learn the alphabet and how to count. Science and music are part of the curriculum and the students take part in dance programs in class. The youngsters also learn about nature by planting their own gardens.

PAL, which has been providing early childhood education for more than 40 years, encourages parents to be deeply involved, according to the organization’s representatives. Parents accompany classes on trips, attend monthly family workshops and participate in programs to increase literacy.

As part of a program called the Bridging the Achievement Gap Literacy Initiative, children and parents read a minimum of 15 books. The books are then incorporated into lesson plans in classrooms.

New York City’s PAL, funded in 1914, serves more than 30,000 youngsters a year with recreational, educational, cultural and social programs.

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

When: Daily Through October, 12 – 9 p.m.

by Bookforum editor Michael Miller, as they discuss the political reverberations of 1968. A year of radical hope, groundbreaking art and literature, and passionate activism, 1968 left a longstanding legacy of reactionary movements and counterrevolutions, galvanized by political uprisings of the time. Based on articles in the “1968 Now” Bookforum issue about Yukio Mishima’s ideological impact on today’s white nationalists, Kristin Ross’s book May ’68 and its Afterlives, Gore Vidal’s Myra Breckinridge, and the generative conflicts of second-wave feminism, this panel will explore how the books of the time heralded a backlash that continues to shape our culture and politics today.

any of our readers may be wondering why the weekly Faces Behind the Food column is not appearing in this week’s InBrooklyn. Well, the reason is simple, we want to explain exactly what Faces is and why it has become a destination for our readers and how it benefits the people we cover in the column.

First of all, the heart of any establishment is the people who work behind the scenes to make it what it is. That would be everyone from the passionate owner of a restaurant to the wait staff, bartender and customers who loyally frequent their favorite dining and entertainment establishments.

Faces loves to share the weekly happenings that range from a co-owner of a popular restaurant who just happens to be an award-winning basketball coach in his spare time, to the owner of a nationally known baking brand that started out in 1930 as a small, family-owned Middle Eastern bakery.

From Bay Ridge to Brooklyn Heights, Greenpoint to Williamsburg, there are so many stories to tell and Faces is the place to find out what makes a bar, restaurant, bakery, pizzeria or beer hall a place someone would want to discover and ultimately frequent.

Those who live in Bay Ridge know that Chadwick’s is one of the finest restaurants in the neighborhood, but they also might want to venture out to Brooklyn Heights to enjoy a meal at the River Café, especially when they learn that Buzzy O’Keeffe, the restaurant’s owner, is being awarded the prestigious Concierge Choice Award in October for having built an attraction that brings people to New York.

That’s just some of what Faces offers. It’s a virtual culinary trip across Brooklyn as you find out what makes a restaurant a true destination spot. So, keep talking to Faces and letting us share your stories with our readers . . . or should we say, your potential loyal customers.

Buzzy O’Keeffe, owner of The River Café

Are you angst-ridden because summer’s ending soon?

A ferry ride to Greenpoint is a fine antidote.

A sunny day, a gray day — either one will do. A trip on any NYC Ferry route will make you smile. But the North Brooklyn shoreline route is especially beguiling.

Start your ride in Brooklyn Bridge Park — where the famed Fulton Ferry service launched in 1814.

Robert Fulton’s newly invented steamship took just 12 minutes to cross the East River — which made it eminently practical for people who worked in Manhattan to live in Brooklyn.

In present-day Brooklyn Bridge Park, Pier 1, where the NYC Ferry landing is located, is a visitor magnet. It’s an ideal spot to snap selfies with the World Trade Center and the Brooklyn Bridge as backdrops.

Of course, you could spend an entire day strolling around the park and hanging out in 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge’s rooftop bar. That’s a story for another day.

After you step onto the ferry, you get an eyeful of the former headquarters of the Jehovah’s Witnesses. The red electric letters atop 30 Columbia Heights that famously said “Watchtower” for a half-century have been removed from the building.

Current property owner Columbia Heights Associates is pursuing a challenge it filed with the city Board of Standards and Appeals to a surprising city Buildings Department decision that says nope, you can’t put new letters on the old sign’s frame.

Spitzer Enterprises’ Shimmering Towers

As the ferry heads up the North Brooklyn shoreline, it travels past Instagram-worthy landmarks such as the DUMBO Clocktower and Jane’s Carousel.

Near the Manhattan Bridge, an old DUMBO factory, 10 Jay St., has a new glass facade whose design is evocative of sugar crystals. The property is being converted into an office building.

You get a distant This waterfront apartment tower is called glimpse of the fabled Brooklyn Navy Yard, The Greenpoint. You probably can guess which has been in exiswhat neighborhood it’s in. tence since 1801.

In recent years, the famed shipbuilding facility has been reinvented as a hub for manufacturers, tech companies, filmmakers and entrepreneurs.

At the South Williamsburg ferry stop, glass facades gleam on the three apartment towers in Spitzer Enterprises’ 420 Kent Ave. complex.

The development is being spearheaded by the “Luv Gov,” aka former Gov. Eliot Spitzer.

He rejoined his family’s company in 2014. He had resigned as New York’s governor in 2008 after his flings with prostitutes were publicized.

On the ferry ride, you pass Williamsburg’s landmarked Domino Sugar Refinery. It’s surrounded by recently opened Domino Park — which is another spot where you could spend an entire day.

The Edge and Northside Piers apartment buildings at North Williamsburg’s ferry stop look terrific when seen from the boat’s deck.

As the ferry ride continues, you’ll be able to fit the entire Williamsburg Bridge into your iPhone picture frame if you take the photo at the right time.

All too soon, you arrive at the Greenpoint ferry dock.

The Greenpoint, an aptly named new residential tower, rises above the pier.

Disembark here. One of our very favorite neighborhoods awaits you.

Former Postal Worker Charged in B’klyn Court With Lying to Obtain $160K in Workers’ Comp A complaint charging Joseph Penatello, a former driver for the U.S. Postal Service and a Brooklyn resident, with falsely claiming injuries to receive more than $160,000 in disability payments was unsealed last Friday in federal Eastern District Court in Brooklyn.

“As alleged, the defendant was employed at flea markets at the same time he falsely claimed to be incapable of working for the Postal Service due to a medical condition,” said Richard Donoghue, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York. “Such disability scams are nothing less than stealing from our taxpayers and will not be ignored.”

“The federal Workers’ Compensation program was created to help those who are recovering from injuries obtained on the job,” stated USPS Inspector General Special Agent-inCharge Matthew Modafferi. “When a Postal Service employee defrauds the Workers’ Compensation program, the special agents of the U.S. Postal

In this courtroom sketch, entrepreneur and former hedge fund manager Martin Shkreli (second from left) appears in court for his arraignment on fraud charges in 2015.

Shkreli Conspirator Gets 18 Months For Securities Fraud and Wire Fraud

The Brooklyn General Post Office building at Cadman Plaza.

Eagle photo by Mary Frost Service Office of Inspector General will work tirelessly with the U.S. Attorney’s Office.”

According to the complaint, Penatello began receiving workers’ compensation benefits in 2001, after he sustained a neck and back injury while working for the USPS. In order to continue receiving those benefits, between March 2014 and April 2018, Penatello submitted documents to the Department of Labor falsely claiming that he was totally disabled and unable to work due to his medical condition. Penatello also claimed that he was not earning any income, according to the Attorney General’s office.

However, on more than 20 occasions between 2014 and 2018, special agents videorecorded him working as an organizer at flea markets in Brooklyn and Manhattan. The video also showed Penatello engaging in strenuous activities, such as carrying heavy objects, standing for long periods of time and driving a motor vehicle.

On one occasion, Penatello allegedly told an undercover special agent that he runs flea markets five days a week and up to 12 hours per day.

The government’s case is being handled by the Office’s General Crimes Section. Assistant U.S. Attorney Erin Reid is in charge of the prosecution.

Penatello was scheduled to make his initial appearance Friday afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge Vera M. Scanlon.

Recently in Brooklyn federal court, Evan Greebel, a former partner at the New York office of Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP who served as outside counsel to Retrophin, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company, was sentenced

by Judge Kiyo A. Matsumoto to 18 months in prison for conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit securities fraud, to be followed by three years’ supervised release.

The court also ordered Greebel to pay $116,462.03 in forfeiture and $10,447,979 in restitution. Greebel was convicted by a federal jury in December 2017, following an 11week trial, for his role in two interrelated fraud schemes with Retrophin CEO Martin Shkreli and others, in which Greebel, Shkreli and others stole millions of dollars in cash and stock from Retrophin and manipulated the price and trading volume of Retrophin stock.

Richard P. Donoghue, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York; and William F. Sweeney Jr.; assistant director-in-charge, FBI, New York Field Office, announced the sentence. “[The] sentence reinforces our message that attorneys who facilitate crimes will be held accountable for their actions,” Donoghue said. “Evan Greebel leveraged his legal training and the trust placed in him by Retrophin’s Board of Directors to commit serious crimes, including the theft of millions of dollars in cash and stock from the very company he was hired to represent. In doing so, Greebel broke the law and violated the ethical duties he owed to his client.”

Between 2011 and 2014, Greebel conspired with Shkreli and others to misappropriate Retrophin’s assets in order to pay off defrauded investors in Shkreli’s hedge funds, MSMB Capital Management LP (MSMB Capital) and MSMB Healthcare Management LP (MSMB Healthcare).

Specifically, Greebel negotiated and prepared so-called settlement agreements with various of the defrauded investors, causing Retrophin to reimburse them more than $2 million in cash and stock. Greebel also arranged for other defrauded investors to enter into sham consulting agreements with Retrophin as a means to settle liabilities owed by Shkreli and the hedge funds.

In addition, between 2012 and 2014, Greebel and Shkreli schemed to defraud investors in Retrophin by attempting to control illegally the price and trading volume of Retrophin’s stock. As part of the scheme, they concealed Shkreli’s beneficial ownership and control of most of Retrophin’s free-trading shares, recruited associates of Shkreli to be nominee holders of those shares and prevented the nominees from selling the shares. Some of the shares were used to settle liabilities owed

by the MSMB hedge funds and Shkreli.

“As an attorney well-versed in the law, Greebel was expected to abide by it — not violate it,” Sweeney stated. “Instead, he used his professional expertise to prepare illegitimate agreements, allowing him and others to carry out their illegal activity.

FAITH IN BROOKLYN

Landmark Heights Church Will Be Rededicated As a Pro-Cathedral

By Francesca Norsen Tate Religion Editor INBrooklyn

It is a story of heritage and tenacity.

Back in 1868, the Rev. Dr. Abram Littlejohn, the rector of Holy Trinity Church at Clinton and Montague streets, was named the first bishop of the newly formed Episcopal Diocese of Long Island.

The Diocese of Long Island was created that year a special convention hosted at Holy Trinity Church, which became the pro-cathedral for the diocese, while the new cathedral in Garden City was built. Bishop Littlejohn’s

consecration service took place on January 27, 1869.

As the diocese begins its 150th anniversary celebration, the eighth and current bishop, the Rt. Rev Lawrence Provenzano, wanted to honor the heritage of Holy Trinity Church, which is now St. Ann & Holy Trinity Church.

Holy Trinity Church, constructed between 1844 and 1847 and officially opened on April 25, 1847, is known worldwide for its Bolton stained glass windows.

Neighboring St. Ann’s Church, named for benefactor Ann Sands, was originally on Washington Street. before construction of the Brooklyn Bridge forced its move to Clinton and Livingston streets, just three blocks away from Holy Trinity.

The merger of these two churches— and reopening of Holy Trinity—during the 1970s brought each a new chapter of ministry. Holy Trinity had closed after the famous scandal involving the Melish father-son priest duo during the height of the McCarthy era.

St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church will again become a pro-cathedral during a festival celebration on Sunday, Sept. 16, that is open to the public, and which will begin with a procession from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, along Montague Street, to St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church for a 5:30 p.m. liturgy.

Bishop Provenzano said, “As we celebrate the 150th anniversary of the diocese this year, this pro-cathedral designation is both a recognition of the historic role of St. Ann & the Holy Trinity in our diocese and a mission-focused strategy to reinvigorate our ministry to the people in the City of New York, especially the five million people who call Brooklyn and Queens home. St. Ann & the Holy Trinity will become the official place from which the bishop of the diocese can speak to the people of New York City.”

The diocese now includes Nassau and Suffolk Counties, stretching from western Brooklyn out to Montauk Point.

Bishop Provenzano clarified that, “We will not be replicating at all the primary seat of the bishop here in Garden City.” Rather, having the Pro-Cathedral in Brooklyn “is a strategic move in the sense of the ministry of our diocese.”

Forum @ St. Ann’s Panels Explore ‘Manuals for Living,’ Citizen Activism The Forum @St. Ann’s, a regular series at St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church, will continue as the landmark parish again becomes a pro-cathedral.

This month, the forum presents “Manuals for Living” and “Women and Citizen Activism,” taking place on Sept. 13 and 15, respectively.

During “Manuals for Living (Thursday, Sept. 13 at 7 p.m.), the Rev. Ana Levy-Lyons of neighboring First Unitarian Church offers a fresh reinterpretation of the Ten Commandments; author Michael Robbins suggests a highbrow/ lowbrow mixture of poetry and pop music; lawyer and writer Justin Jamail draws upon the New York School poets; and medievalist Jacqueline de Weever captures something paradoxically ephemeral and pragmatic in images of exquisite flora.

Fr. John Denaro, rector of St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church, will moderate the program.

During “Women and Citizen Activism” (Saturday, Sept. 15 at 3 p.m.), a group of notable women writers engage the phenomenon of emerging citizen activists.

The panelist roster includes Eliza Griswold, author of the acclaimed recently published book, “Amity and Prosperity: One Family and the Fracturing of America;” Mona Eltahawy, a reporter who was brutally attacked in Egypt in 2011—an experience that shaped her life as an activist; and Anastasia Higgenbotham, who covers social justice issues and writes children’s books.

Reproductive rights activist, writer, and filmmaker. Jennifer Baumgardner will moderate this discussion.

The pro-cathedral will serve as an official “seat” or cathedra of the bishop and it will host special services on occasion as well as ministry events and programs.

The rector of St. Ann & the Holy Trinity, the Rev. John Denaro, said, “The designation of St. Ann & the Holy Trinity as a pro-cathe-

dral is a privilege that affirms our church’s enduring significance as a house of prayer and community resource. We joyfully accept our new responsibilities to the bishop, fellow Episcopalians and neighbors, and embrace this larger opportunity to extend Christian hospitality.”

‘Godspell’ Original Cast Member Peggy Gordon Will Speak at BrooklynONE Productions An acclaimed run earlier this summer of brooklynONE Productions’ “Godspell,” has brought new performances dates this weekend, with an appearance by original cast member Peggy Gordon.

“Godspell,” composed by Stephen Schwartz with a libretto adapted from the Gospel of Matthew by John-Michael Tebelak, originated in 1970 as Tebelak’s master’s thesis project in Pittsburgh. “Godspell” opened off-Broadway in 1971, and has been produced in many regional, school and church community theatres since.

BrooklynONE’s production, directed by

bkONE Founder and Artistic Director Anthony Marino, sets “Godspell” in a Lutheran church reimagined as an abandoned 1990s-era New York City punk club and features musical performances by punk band the Government. The venue is Redeemer-St. John’s Lutheran Church, 939 83rd Street in Dyker Heights.

Gordon will participate in post-show talkback at the September 8 matinee. Performances will be held on Friday, Sept. 7 at 8 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 8 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. and Sunday, Sept. 9 at 4 p.m. All seats are $20. Tickets are available via www.bkONE.org.

Heights Clergy Will Lead 17th Sept. 11 Promenade Service “Down to the River to Pray,” is the focus of this year’s 9-11 Remembrance that the Brooklyn Heights Interfaith Clergy Association is organizing.

The service takes place on Tuesday, Sept. 11 at 7 p.m., around sunset.

All ages and all faiths are invited to join the Brooklyn Heights Interfaith Clergy Association in remembering 9/11 with rituals of water and release.

This communal moment of “letting go” will make space for participants to release what needs releasing into a vessel of living water.

Participants will share from a variety of faith traditions that look forward to what the months ahead hold for the community as neighbors and as people of faith.

In case of inclement weather, First Presbyterian Church (124 Henry St., near Clark) will host the service.

Four reasons you should review your beneficiary designations

B

aby boomers have been planning and saving for retirement for decades. They are also planning their legacy–creating wills, trusts and other sophisticated estate planning strategies to transfer their wealth to the next generation.

However, most people may not realize their IRAs and qualified retirement plans–a large part of their estate–are not subject to probate nor affected by the terms of a person's will. These assets will pass to the next generation determined solely by the client's beneficiary designation form.

Accordingly, the beneficiary designation form is one of your most important estate planning documents but it is often overlooked when creating a legacy plan.

Here are some common beneficiary designation mistakes to avoid:

ESTATE AS A BENEFICIARY

Many people unintentionally name their estate as beneficiary of their retirement accounts. Some people will actually direct their retirement assets to be paid "pursuant to the terms of my will."

Others simply fail to complete their beneficiary designation form or forget to name a new person's estate by default, which is probably the worst beneficiary for IRAs and retirement plans.

IRAs and qualified retirement

plans–assets that normally avoid probate– will become subject to probate when paid to the estate. The probate process can be long, cumbersome and expensive. Further, these assets may have to be liquidated and paid to the estate within five years after the person's death.

While individual beneficiaries can elect to have IRA assets paid over their lifetime, thereby "stretching" their tax liability over many years, estates cannot.

Finally, estates are subject to a much higher income tax rate than individuals.

This can result in more money going to the IRS than necessary. To avoid this mistake, make sure you have an up-to-date primary and contingent beneficiary designated for all your retirement accounts.

TRUST AS A BENEFICIARY

Many attorneys like to use trusts to facilitate an effective transfer of wealth and maximize all available gift, estate and generation skipping tax exemptions. However, there are several dangers to having retirement assets paid to a trust.

First, the IRS generally requires the assets to be paid to the trust within five years after the death of the client. The "stretch" rules generally do not apply to trusts unless the trust is drafted to be a "look through" trust.

If the trust is a "look through" trust, the

IRS permits you to "look through" the trust and "stretch" the IRA to the trust over the life expectancy of the oldest trust beneficiary. Trusts that fail to be a "look through" trust include those that have beneficiaries that are not individuals, such a charity, estate or another trust.

Second, it can be expensive to establish and maintain these trusts. If an IRA is "stretched" to a "look through" trust, a lifetime of legal, trustee and administrative fees can significantly reduce the amount the ultimate beneficiaries will receive.

Unless there is a compelling non-tax reason to name a trust as beneficiary of an IRA or retirement plan, you should avoid making a costly mistake. Speak with your estate planning attorney about the pros and cons to naming a trust as a beneficiary of a retirement account.

EX-SPOUSE AS A BENEFICIARY

Few people rarely intend to leave IRA and retirement assets to an ex-spouse, but this happens all the time. People fail to update their beneficiary designation form after a divorce.

Often, they are under the mistaken belief the divorce decree will automatically negate their prior beneficiary designations.

Divorce decrees, court orders and wills

generally have no affect on a beneficiary designation.

"PER STIRPES" OR "PER CAPITA"

IRA and retirement assets are not always distributed as intended. Most IRAs will allow the owner to designate multiple beneficiaries. For instance, it is common for an IRA owner to designate his or her children as equal beneficiaries.

If one beneficiary predeceases the owner or "disclaims" the inheritance, the remaining primary beneficiaries will generally receive the balance of the IRA and not the children of that deceased beneficiary.

For instance, assume Dad has an IRA he wants to leave to his two children Sue and Tom. Sue and Tom also have children of their own. If Tom were to die before Dad, Sue would inherit Tom's share and nothing would go to Tom's children. This is called a "Per Capita" distribution.

If Dad wanted to make sure Tom's share would benefit Tom's family, Dad should make a "Per Stirpes" designation. This means Tom's half will be shared equally

by Tom's children.

By conducting a review of your IRAs and retirement plans, you can avoid costly mistakes and assure the right beneficiaries inherit these hard-earned assets. (BPT)

Personalization of funerals can lead to more meaningful occasion

A

Cemetery | Crematory | Arboretum green-wood.com 718-210-3081

s baby boomers age and find themselves having to plan funerals for loved ones and themselves, they are making funeral choices based on values that are different than previous generations. Baby boomers see funerals as a valuable part of the grieving process and are seeking ways to make them meaningful.

Today, funeral service consumers are planning funeral services that are as unique as the person who died. The idea of personalization has resulted in an explosion of unique services that reflect the hobbies, passions and interests of someone who has died.

Through personalization, funeral services can be more meaningful. Funeral directors can offer ideas on how families can personalize their loved one’s funeral and are open to family suggestions and creativity.

The National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) encourages all funeral service consumers to discuss their ideas with the funeral director to ensure an individualized ceremony fitting of the person who died.

Regardless of the type of service you select, it should be a reflection of your loved one’s life that makes an emotional connection with all those in attendance.

Contemporary thought as it relates to funerals incorporates not only a person’s religious tradition, if any, but also that which allows you to remember your loved one’s hobbies, interests or a certain quality that made him or her like no other person.

If you have attended a funeral recently,

you may have seen a collage of photographs, a memorial video, personal items of the deceased on display, special mementos, eulogies from close friends or family, special life tribute ceremonies, balloon releases or any other number of unique tributes.

All of this is done to help make the funeral more personal, to illustrate that which was unique about the person’s life, and to help those who have lost someone special begin to heal.

If the funeral service you are planning will be following a prescribed religious ritual, your priest, rabbi or minister can advise as to when any personalized tributes can be incorporated into the events leading up to or during the funeral service, if appropriate.

To help you begin the process of planning a unique tribute, think of your answers to the following questions: *What could your loved one do better than anyone else? *When you think of your loved one, what do you think of? *What were your loved one’s hobbies or special interests? *What were some of your fondest memories of your loved one? *What was your loved one passionate about?

The answers to these and similar questions will help you pinpoint those qualities and activities that are most identifiable with your loved one. Your funeral director can help guide you in this process and share ideas and make recommendations to help you plan a special and fitting tribute.

New etiquette for paying your respects

A

century ago, most funerals took place in the home.

Families lived close together and were part of a tight-knit community, making it possible for friends and relatives to attend funeral ceremonies and make personal visits to console the bereaved.

Word-of-mouth was sufficient to advise neighbors and friends that someone had died.

Etiquette for those in mourning was strict.

Custom dictated wearing black for immediate family members, even children, for lengthy periods following the death.

Social activities were severely restricted and condolence or thank-you notes were written on black-bordered, white stationery.

Over the years, funeral etiquette has evolved to keep pace with changing lifestyles.

Today’s funeral etiquette recognizes the need to express grief and sympathy but in a more individualistic and practical way.

For instance, black is still most appropriate for funerals, but gray, navy

ADVERTORIAL

The Story Behind St. Joseph Chapel and Columbarium

blue and other subdued colors are also acceptable.

Those in mourning go back to work or resume social activities just days after a funeral.

Today, families often write a short message on a thank-you card provided by the funeral director.

Communication features provided by the Internet have made even more dramatic changes in the ways we memorialize loved ones and participate in funeral ceremonies.

A funeral home in North Syracuse, New York was the first to broadcast funerals live on the Internet to accommodate shut-ins or distant relatives who couldn't attend the service in person.

Families give written permission to have any portion of the funeral service transmitted.

Proper etiquette dictates that we treat grieving friends and family with kindness, dignity and consideration.

Social and technological changes just give us another way to memorialize loved ones and offer our condolences.

From the New York State Funeral Directors Association

St. Joseph Chapel & Columbarium is the first of its kind in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn. The columbarium project went into effect after Pope Benedict XVI designated Regina Pacis as a Basilica about six years ago, in October 2012. The Most Reverend Nicholas DiMarzio, Bishop of Brooklyn, celebrated a Solemn Mass - on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, December 8, 2012 - inaugurating Regina Pacis as a Minor Basilica.

When Regina Pacis was originally built in 1950, it had a completely functioning lower church, the same size as the upper church, and necessary because of the large numbers of parishioners in the area at that time. Over the years, as people moved away, the lower church became unnecessary. The space was emptied and used for many functions, including sports.

Monsignor Ronald Marino, current Pastor of Regina Pacis Church, envisioned utilizing the space in the lower Basilica, to give a sacred burial place to Catholics who choose cremation.

Brochures from the parish explain that Regina Pacis is a Papal Basilica which cannot be merged with another church or closed down. Basilica status provides families with the security of knowing that their loved ones’ remains will be secure here for the future.

Theresa Grillo-Landy, manager of the St. Joseph Chapel and Columbarium, recalls being easily able to sell columbarium niches with only a map and architectural rendering at hand. People were eager to purchase niches before all were sold.

As word spread about the columbarium’s availability, many former parishioners who had moved away wanted to come home for their final resting place. People who grew up, went to school, got married, and received their sacraments at Regina Pacis, all wanted to be part of this amazing and beautiful Chapel, and cannot imagine being inurned anywhere else.

During the year of Mercy in 2015, the Basilica of Regina Pacis was one of the Churches that represented the Holy Door.

Through that year Regina Pacis hosted many pilgrimages from other parishes throughout the tri-state area and further.

This was a great way to introduce the Columbarium to many more people. The response was amazing, and niches were sold to so many who are not parishioners here.

The Roman Catholic Church’s Teaching on Cremation

Features of the St. Joseph Chapel and Columbarium

The Roman Catholic Church forbade cremation up until 1963.

Catholic belief in the body as the temple of the Holy Spirit, and faith in the Resurrection of the body, places a strong preference for entombment - burying the body intact. In addition, the Catholic Church took the verse from Genesis (3:19) – “Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return” as a literal instruction prohibiting cremation and mandating that the body be given a proper burial. This prohibition was also a response to an Early Pagan practice of cremation as a denial of Christ’s Resurrection.

However, recognizing the increasing and sometimes burdensome costs of funerals and burials, the Catholic Church in 1963 began allowing the more - affordable cremations, on the condition that a person’s choice of cremation was not based a reflection of doubt or disbelief about Catholic teachings about death, resurrection, and the rebirth to eternal life.

Moreover, the Church instructs that reverence be given to the body of the deceased. While cremains are now allowed to be present during the funeral Mass, they must then be interred properly. The Catholic Church still prohibits the scattering of ashes or the practice of keeping them in a family member’s home or even a bank vault. The cremated remains should rest in an urn, to be placed in a (preferably Catholic) cemetery or placed in a niche in a columbarium.

The Chapel opened and was Blessed and dedicated on November 1, 2015 by the Bishop of Brooklyn, Rev. Nicholas DiMarzio.

Theresa Landy has been the manager since June 2015.

Once, even the most hesitant persons enter this beautiful Chapel, their perspective on cremation is changed forever! The sound of the beautiful music and the running waterfall fountain give the chapel a sense of serenity and peace.

The columbarium offers four sub-chapels of niches, each adorned by a stained glass Blessed Mother as she appeared to different groups over the centuries: Our Lady of China, Our Lady of Pompeii, Our Lady of Guadalupe, and Our Lady of Grace. Some people select their niche based on which image of the Blessed Mother they resonate with. Others choose their niches based on the proximity of etched glass saints. The chapels have benches for praying and meditation.

Mass is celebrated daily in the Chapel, and Regina Pacis parishioners pray for the deceased. On Fridays the Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament is offered for adoration.

St. Joseph Chapel and Columbarium offers Memorial walls and cenotaphs for those who have family members buried elsewhere, in a section named “We Unite in Prayer for Those Resting Elsewhere”.

On Sept. 6, 1945, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported, “San Diego, Cal., Sept. 7 (U.P.) – Vice Adm. John S. McCain, who died less than 24 hours after returning to this country from surrender ceremonies in the Pacific, was worn out from the strain of the final battle against Japan, a Navy physician said today. Adm. McCain, 61-year-old commander of famed Task Force 38, died suddenly of a heart attack last night at his home in Coronado. He was a veteran of 41 years in the Navy. The admiral was exhausted from his activities in the last four months in the final effort to batter Japan to her knees, the navy doctor said. The slight, wiry admiral, one of the Navy’s strongest advocates of air power, was suffering from a slight cold but generally considered in good health when he arrived here Wednesday from Pearl Harbor.”  On Sept. 7, 1949, the Eagle reported, “The Ebbets dynasty in Brooklyn baseball was legally ended today when a notice of settlement of the Charles H. Ebbets estate was presented to Surrogate Francis D. McGarey by the attorneys for the Brooklyn Trust Company as an executor. The Brooklyn Baseball Club, which was once the sole property of Charles H. Ebbets, Charles Ebbets is now owned by a group composed of John Smith, penicillin tycoon; Branch Rickey, president of the Brooklyn Baseball Club, and Walter O’Malley, who together control 75 percent of the stock, and Mrs. James Mulvey, who owns the remainder … It is to Charles H. Ebbets that Brooklyn owes the growth of baseball in the borough. His vision as a candy butcher at the old Washington Park in 1883 was later responsible for the present home of the Dodgers, which now bears his name.” 

Fort Hamilton High School

ebrooklyn media file photo

On Sept. 8, 1941, the Eagle reported, “One of the features of the first day of school in Brooklyn today was the opening for ‘business’ of the new $2,700,000 Fort Hamilton High School at Shore Road and 83rd St. The school is not large, but it has accommodations for 2,500 students and boasts a splendid view of the Narrows. The school is three stories high and has a tower in the center. Architects, knowing that the school could be seen from the ships which ply in and out of the harbor, lavished much skill upon it. Dr. Augustus Ludwig is principal of the school. He was formerly at Far Rockaway High School.”

“Our Alternative Methods Are Environmentally Safe” On Sept. 8, 1953, the Eagle reported, “Washington, Sept. 8 (U.P.) – Fred M. Vinson, 63, Chief Justice of the United States since 1946, died unexpectedly today. He was stricken with a heart attack in his suite at the Sheraton Park Hotel at 2:30 a.m. and died at 3:15 a.m., shortly after a physician reached his bedside. Justice Vinson had not been ill. Mrs. Vinson and one of their two sons, Fred M. Jr., said Vinson retired last night in good spirits and apparently good health. There was immediate speculation that [President Dwight D.] Eisenhower will name Republican Gov. Earl Warren of California to fill the vacancy.

Warren announced last week that he will not seek re-election when his present term as governor expires in January 1955 …

It seemed probable that Mr. Eisenhower’s appointee will become Chief Justice. Mr. Eisenhower, could, however, elevate one of the present members of the high bench. The 1953-54 term of the Supreme Court starts Oct. 5.”  On Sept. 9, 1893, the Eagle reported, “There was a birth in the White House at exactly 2 o’clock this afternoon. Baby Ruth has a little sister. Mrs. Cleveland and the new arrival are doing quite well.” Esther Cleveland, the second child of President Grover Cleveland, is the only child of a president to be born in the White House. She died in 1980. 

Elvis Presley appeared on “The Ed Sullivan Show” for the first time on Sept. 9, 1956. The show was seen by 60 million people (more than 80 percent of the entire viewing audience throughout the United States). Presley’s performance of his new single, “Love Me Tender,” created a frenzy among music lovers; more than 1 million people flocked to buy the new song when it was released.

Roger Maris autographs a baseball for President John F. Kennedy Roger Maris was born on Sept. 10, 1934. The slugging outfielder made his major league debut with the Cleveland Indians in 1957. He was traded in 1958 to the Kansas City Athletics, who traded him to the New York Yankees after the 1959 season. He won the American League MVP award in 1960 and 1961, finishing ahead of teammate Mickey Mantle both times. In 1961, he and Mantle waged an assault on Yankee legend Babe Ruth’s single-season home run record of 60, which was set in 1927. Injuries slowed Mantle down as the season wore on and he finished with 54. But nothing could stop Maris, who hit his 61st home run during the last game of the regular season. With Maris, the Yankees won five consecutive pennants (1960-64) and two championships (196162). The team retired his number in 1984. A heavy smoker, Maris died of lung cancer on Dec. 14, 1985. He was 51. His single-season home run record was broken in 1998 by Mark McGwire of the St. Louis Cardinals. Maris’ widow and children were at the game.

Pet Adoption Corner

Sean Casey Animal Rescue has shared these photos of pets up with adoption with us.

Skipper is a six-month-old Pit Bull mix. Skipper came here all the way from North Carolina. He is a bit nervous of life in the city but is slowly coming around. Skipper would do best with an experienced and patient dog owner. Even though Skip-

per is a bit nervous, he is such a sweetheart!

Kirby is a five-year-old Domestic Short hair. Kirby is just a little ball of love. He is super sweet and outgoing and gets along with everyone including young children.

NYC Health + Hospitals/Coney Island Continues to Reap Accolades for its Health Care

BY JOHN ALEXANDER

JALEXANDER@BROOKLYNEAGLE. COM

N

YC Health + Hospitals/Coney Island has been receiving high praise for its health services since its rebuilding and rebirth after the devastating effects of Hurricane Sandy.

The former Coney Island Hospital has been recognized as a “High Performing” hospital in heart failure according to a ranking by U.S. News & World Report for the second consecutive year.

The recognition signifies that the hospital performed significantly better in heart failure than the national average for hospitals.

“It is an honor to be recognized by U.S. News & World Report for our high-quality care for heart failure,” said William Brown, chief executive officer of NYC Health + Hospitals/Coney Island.

“We see the recognition in our patients’ faces for the compassionate and expert care we provide every day.

This external recognition reaffirms the high quality of our care.”

And this all follows the Aug. 22 opening of a new state-of-the-art outpatient diagnostic center and women’s health imaging suite. Brown had hosted the recent ribbon-cutting ceremony explaining that it had taken a long time for the hospital to recover from Hurricane Sandy and how the new suite represents the resiliency of the hospital and the community as a whole.

“NYC Health + Hospitals/ Coney Island has been committed to providing high-quality medical care since the hospital initially opened and served as a first aid station in 1875,” said Brown. “We have never veered from that commitment, even when tested by natural disasters such as Superstorm Sandy, which flooded the hospital and devastated the surrounding areas in 2012.”

The Outpatient Diagnostic Center/Women’s Health

imaging suite reflects a $9.5 million investment in construction and new technologies—funding provided through a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to mitigate damage experienced in 2012 during Superstorm Sandy.

In the U.S. News & World Report article, the hospital received an evaluation of “excellent” for survival rate.

It also received an “excellent” rating for how often patients are discharged directly home instead of to another facility and for the volume of heart failure patients—a higher number of patients is associated with better outcomes.

“We know heart disease is a leading cause of death in Coney Island,” said Tom Melillo, director of marketing, communications and public affairs. “This chronic disease requires lifelong management, but receiving the correct treatment can improve your chances of strengthening your heart and living longer.”

Focus on Bay Ridge

By Charles F. Otey

Golden, Gentile Started Out As Bay Ridge Civic Leaders Lesson for Political Newcomers: Serve Community Before You Serve Yourself

Now that we’re heavily into the political season and there are some fine candidates whose names appear on the primary and regular November election ballots, potential voters may be looking for a way to evaluate those who seek their support.

Maybe we can help.

Some candidates are self-minted — then self-cheered — due to the often-misleading magic of the internet, where everyone is allowed to say just about anything about themselves or each other.

Bay Ridge remains the city’s premier volunteer neighborhood and this characteristic helps to explain why this it has been cited as the best place for families to live and raise children.

That said, this week I’m going to go to my Bay Ridge volunteer photo album and present some images of two outstanding volunteers who went on to extended and successful careers as elected officials — former state Sen. and Councilmember Vincent Gentile and former Councilmember and current state Sen. Marty Golden.

Volunteer Vincent Paints Hydrant in Early Clean-Up: Then-civic volunteer Vincent Gentile (right) takes a paintbrush to a rusty fire hydrant on 13th Avenue along with civic leaders (left to right) Jane Kelly, Anthony Ceretti and Gloria Melnick at a Greater Bay Ridge Clean-Up back in 1994.

Photos courtesy of Chuck Otey

Councilmember Golden Forms Massive Food Convoy to Aid 9/11 Workers: Capitalizing on his NYPD and catering backgrounds, then-Councilmember Marty Golden (left) organized a “Food to the Workers on the 9/11 Pile” effort that helped send tons of food and other necessities to first responders working at Ground Zero.

Volunteers from as far away as the Carolinas drove up to his office on Third Avenue to join in the convoys. At far right is NYPD Lt. James Woods.

Gentile, Golden Join in a Third Avenue Clean-Up: Often, as shown above, state Sen. Marty Golden (standing, far right) and Councilmember Vincent Gentile (at left of emcee Chuck Otey) would get together for clean-ups and other civic endeavors for the good of the community.

Gentile served as councilmember until he was turned out by term limits in 2017. The careers of both men underscore the Greater Bay Ridge community’s preference for true local leaders with solid civic records. Also shown (left to right) are then-Bay Ridge Community Council President Gloria Melnick, Cheryl Kamen, James Vavas, then-Assemblymember Joan Millman and Merchants of Third Avenue President Bob Howe.

Marty Helped Launch Bay Ridge CleanUps: As shown at left, then-civic leader Marty Golden (far left) helped launch the popular Bay Ridge Clean-Up Campaign with (left to right) retired Justice Gerard Rosenberg, Merchants of Third Avenue Vice President Jay Sessa, Merchants Executive Secretary Chuck Otey, then-U.S. Rep. Susan Molinari and Ralph Perfetto, who, by the way, at the age of 83 announced his re-entry into party politics.

EDC, NYC Parks Announce Major Expansion for Coney Island’s Luna Park, Including Water Slide

BY JAIME DEJESUS

President of Luna Park Alessandro Zamperla told this paper what the expansion means to the park.

“It means a lot to continue our commitment to this special place in Coney Island. It’s stronger

JDEJESUS@BROOKLYNREPORTER. COM

T

he magic of Coney Island’s Luna Park is about to grow.

On Thursday, August 23 the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) and NYC Parks announced that they are adding to the already popular Luna Park, which returned to Coney Island in 2010.

The plans will expand the park by 50 percent, according to the agencies, and will include the addition of a giant log flume, a ropes course, a public plaza and an arcade.

T ra n s for m i n g t he 150,000 square feet of Cityowned land will be Central Amusement International (CAI).

President and CEO of NCYEDC James Patchett is excited about

the new attractions. “ C o n e y Island is both a cherished summertime destination and an important economic engine for South Brooklyn,” he said.

“With these exciting new attractions and our ongoing investments in housing and infrastructure, Coney Island’s future has never

looked brighter.”

“The Coney Island Amusem e n t Dist ric t is a nostalgic New York City destination, and we are proud to be a part of improving and evolving it for future generations to enjoy,” added NYC Parks Commissioner Mitchell Silver. “We are confident that the new developments to Luna Park will add even more fun for the thousands of families that flock to Coney Island each year.”

The planned log flume ride

on currently unused land next to the Thunderbolt roller-coaster.

“We were really excited to have gotten some of the proposals we got back,” NYCEDC spokesperson Stephanie Báez told this paper. “They were so creative. The ones we ended up selecting from Central Amusement International just perfectly fit the vision that we have for the Coney Island boardwalk.”

CAI also plans to add public seating, landscaping and a new public plaza with an open-air style eatery and entertainment area with games for all ages.

and one of the most sought after destinations in the world.”

The adventure park is slated to open next summer with the water attraction scheduled to be completed by 2020.

“It will be a huge addition.

In the current Luna Park, we have a flume ride, so the new one will be four times bigger than the current one,” Zamperla told this paper. “It will be 1,000 feet long. We are going to have a couple of impressive drops that

“The flume ride is custom-made exclusive for the park,” he added. “The log itself will be two people sitting next to each other in rows. It will be more attractive so if you have a family member with you it will be more fun to look at each other’s faces as you fall from the drop.”

“Once it’s fully constructed and running, it will be the official largest water ride they will have there in the entire amusement district,” said Baez. “We felt it was really important to add to the mix because it was definitely missing.

“We also think the adventure park will be a big draw too,” Baez went on. “People are looking for a little bit more in their thrill-seeking. They are seeking more physical and interactive

stuff like zip lining which this will bring.”

Attendees can certainly expect thrills next summer, stakeholders said.

“It will have some rope courses which will be themed after a circus, like someone balancing as an acrobat,” Zamperla said.

“The good thing is it will be for almost everybody. The lowest height is 20 inches so very small children can challenge themselves and for the more courageous

t h e r e’s zip line and rope courses that are 40 feet high.”

Councilmember Mark Treyger is also pleased with the plans.

“Recapturing the best of Coney Island’s past is a big part of the future at the People’s Playground,” he said.

“This continues the revitalization of the amusement district, offering exciting new activities and attractions for residents and visitors alike to enjoy.”

According to the NCYEDC, they and NYC Parks released a request for proposals back in 2017 to develop and operate five parcels of land totaling 150,000 square feet between Surf Avenue and the boardwalk, and between West 10th and West 16th Streets.

“This investment continues the City’s commitment to preserving the amusement district and creation of additional parkland, both enhancing the community and visitors’ experience of Coney Island, and generating vigorous economic activity in the neighborhood,” the NCYEDC wrote in a statement.
