GUEST EDITORIAL Watchdog: U.S. Unprepared for ‘Zero Tolerance’ Immigration

By Colleen Long | Associated Press

Immigration officials were not prepared this summer to manage the consequences of a “zero tolerance” policy at the Southwest border, which resulted in the separation of nearly 3,000 children from their parents, Homeland Security’s watchdog said in a report made public on Tuesday.

The resulting confusion along the border led to misinformation among separated parents who did not know why they had been taken from their children or how to reach them, longer detention for children at border facilities meant for short-term stays, and difficulty in identifying and reuniting families. And backlogs at ports of entry may have pushed some into illegally crossing the U.S-Mexico border, the report found.

While the Trump administration had been widely criticized for the policy, the criticism previously came mostly from political opponents and not from independent, nonpolitical investigators.

Investigators with Homeland Security’s Office of the Inspector General compiled the report after speaking with about 50 immigration employees, plus 17 detainees and parents who had been separated from their children and later released. They also reviewed documents and data. Homeland Security is the umbrella department for U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Homeland Security officials say the report illustrates how difficult it is to enforce broken and poorly written immigration laws. The inspector general, they said, wrongly mixed up what happens to migrants caught crossing illegally between borders with migrants who come to legal ports of entry seeking asylum.

“This administration will no longer turn a blind eye to illegal immigration and will continue to refer illegal border crossers for prosecution. We are committed to enforcing the rule of law and ensuring that there are consequences for il-

legal actions,” Homeland Security spokeswoman Katie Waldman said.

Illegally crossing the U.S. border had already been a criminal charge, but authorities had previously avoided largescale family separation. But the Trump administration has made curbing immigration a major focus, working to harden what administration officials say are lax laws.

In May, officials began criminally prosecuting anyone caught crossing the border illegally. Children were separated from their parents as the adults went through criminal proceedings.

The move prompted international outrage and President Donald Trump eventually signed an executive order stopping the separations. A lawsuit was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of parents, and a judge ordered the families reunited. That process is ongoing, though the government has said it has reunited all eligible parents with children.

“Thousands of children are living with trauma because of the Trump administration’s family separation fiasco,” said Lee Gelernt, lead lawyer on the ACLU case. “Some parents may never see their children again. This report shows not just the cruelty of the Trump administration’s actions, but also its ineptitude and historic failure of foresight in comprehending the devastating effects and fallout from this policy.”

Children are only supposed to be held for 72 hours before being transferred to the custody of officials with Health and Human Services, which manages the care of migrant children and must adhere to strict policies governing their welfare. But, at least one child was held for 25

days in a Border Patrol facility.

During the weeklong period of fieldwork by the Inspector General’s Office, the average time children spent in a Border Patrol facility was 65 hours — but one child remained for 12 days. The delay meant Border Patrol officers couldn’t focus on their work.

“Instead of patrolling and securing the border, officers had to supervise and take care of children,” the report said.

Immigration officials also struggled to identify, track and reunify families because agency systems were not properly integrated, according to the report. Three different agencies were involved: U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials police the borders and ports where migrants come. Adults are turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement where their asylum claims are reviewed, and children must be turned over to U.S. Health and Human Services.

Border Patrol agents also didn’t ensure that children who were too young or otherwise unable to talk could be correctly identified with a wrist bracelet or other identifier. Most children weren’t photographed — any easy way to link them with parents.

Some parents were not properly advised of what was happening, and lacked access to communicate with their children, the report found, though some facilities worked to change that.

At the same time zero tolerance was being enforced, Border Protection saw a rise in asylum seekers coming to ports of entry, filling holding facilities to capacity. As a result, some officers told asylum seekers to go back and wait for space to open up, and that may have pushed some families to cross illegally, the report found.

Democrats said the report was damning.

“The report confirms that the administration outright misled Congress and the American people for months about its cruel family separation policy,” Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi said.

A separate inspector general report on the conditions at border patrol facilities found that despite some being unclean, detainees had proper access to food, bathrooms and clean bedding. The report found no issues with temperatures inside the facilities, though migrants often complain of freezing temperatures.

Critics Eye Race, Religion ,n New York Campaign Attack Ads

By Deepti Hajela

The Associated Press

Several political campaigns in New York have come under criticism in recent weeks over campaign messaging that some say was designed to exploit voters’ racial biases or xenophobia.

In the latest skirmish, a Democratic congressman in California assailed a Republican colleague in New York this week over a campaign attack ad that showed his opponent speaking Korean over a backdrop of ominous music, a portrait of North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un and captions falsely implying he was talking about sending American jobs to Asia.

“Take your racist ad and shove it. You are an embarrassment to the House of Representatives,” U.S. Rep. Ted Lieu of California wrote on Twitter, addressing U.S. Rep. Chris Collins, of western New York.

A spokeswoman for Collins, who is campaigning for re-election in New York’s 27th Congressional District while under indictment on insider trading charges, said the ad was a comment on the economic policies of Democratic opponent Nate McMurray, and that race had nothing to do with it.

“Another day, another tired and false attack from anti-Trump, liberal Democrats,” spokeswoman Natalie Baldassarre said in a statement.

Earlier this month, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was roundly criticized over a flyer the state Democratic Party sent to predominantly Jewish households accusing his Democratic primary opponent, Cynthia Nixon, of not caring about anti-Semitism. Nixon, who is raising her children as Jewish, was outraged. Cuomo, who won the primary, agreed the flyer was “inappropriate” but denied any involvement in its creation.

In New York’s 19th Congressional District, Republican U.S. Rep. John Faso was accused of “race baiting” by The New York Times editorial board after the National Republican Campaign Committee put out an ad showing his Democratic challenger, Antonio Delgado, performing in a rap video. Faso is white, as is 90 percent of his district north of New York City. Delgado, a Harvard Law School graduate and Rhodes Scholar, is black.

The ad featured clips from a 2007 video Delgado recorded under stage name “AD the Voice” in which he uses profanity, quips that he’s “gotcha sweatin’ this like ya having sex to a porno flick,” and says “God bless Iraq,” in a song opposing the Iraq war. It concludes with a picture of Delgado wearing a hooded sweat shirt.

Faso said his campaign had no control over the ad, but defended it as a valid criticism of lyrics he considered offensive.

And in the 22nd Congressional District, in upstate New York, Republican U.S. Rep. Claudia Tenney was criticized after her campaign sent a memo warning staffers to be mindful of their safety because the family of her Italian-American opponent, Anthony Brindisi, had “used their political connections to get away with violence, intimidation and thuggish behavior.”

Brindisi’s father, Louis, was a lawyer who formerly represented people connected to organized crime and once pleaded guilty to drug possession, but insisted he was not a mobster. Brindisi’s campaign accused Tenney of “blatant and false attacks on Italians.”

Stephen Maynard Caliendo, a dean and professor at North Central College in Napierville, Illinois, who has researched the role of race in political communication, said it isn’t unusual

“You wink, you nod, you hint,” he said.

Vincent Hutchings, professor of political science at the University of Michigan, said the question isn’t whether or not it’s fair game to bring up an opponent’s work history, raise questions about policy stances, or question past activities in a political campaign.

“The question is, ‘Is this inflaming racial passions or isn’t it?” he said. “If a candidate wants to raise issues without inflaming racial

passions, there are ways to do that.”

Caliendo, after viewing the Collins ad targeting McMurray, said “the suggestion is, we can’t trust him to represent. He’s not like us, he speaks Korean,” Caliendo said.

The ad is based on a video of McMurray, the town supervisor in Grand Island, New York, talking, in Korean, about relations between North Korea and South Korea.

McMurray, who is white, has studied in South Korea, taught law there and is married to a woman from South Korea who is now an

American citizen.

“I watched that ugly attack ad with my son.

His mom is Korean. My son speaks Korean. He looked at me with a grave sadness on his face,” McMurray said.

Collins pleaded not guilty to insider trading charges in August and had said he would leave the race, but reversed course over the difficulty in removing his name from the ballot in the district, which represents an area between Buffalo and Rochester. He was an early and strong supporter of President Donald Trump. )ULday, October , 2018 • %URRNO\Q 3+2(1,; • 3

SCHOOL OPEN HOUSES

STEM Lab Offers Hands-On Learning to Catholic School Kids

By Paula Katinas Brooklyn Daily Eagle

When Kelly Wolf arrived at Our Lady of Grace Catholic Academy to take the helm as principal last year, one of the first things she did was put together a STEM Night during the celebration of Catholic Schools Week in which she challenged her students to come up with projects that showed their creative sides.

“It was incredible,” Wolf told the Brooklyn Eagle. “They were building homes out of marshmallows. They were building a car out of boxes. The kids had such an enthusiastic response. The excitement in the gym was amazing.”

The various projects demonstrated the students’ talents in science, technology, engineering and math.

And the excitement the principal saw in her students’ eyes that night gave her a bold idea.

Wolf’s plan came to fruition a few weeks ago when Our Lady of Grace, a Catholic elementary-middle school located at 385 Ave. W in Gravesend, officially opened its new STEM lab.

The lab, which contains Chromebooks, iPads and SMART Boards, as well as a 3D printer, is fast becoming a popular destination for students in the academy. The lab was organized by Stephanie Campanella, who teaches science to the school’s sixth, seventh and eighth graders.

To go along with the new STEM lab, the school has also introduced a new interactive science curriculum.

Our Lady of Grace educates students from kindergarten through eighth grade, and all grades are getting the opportunity to work in the lab.

Fourth graders, for example, are learning about the systems in the human body and have been spending time in the new lab to conduct research. Students in the second grade are learning about weights and measures and are getting their share of lab time.

Sixth graders are learning about properties of matter, according to Campanella, who said they are using the lab to explore the difference between an element and a compound by finding the mass, volume, and density.

In grade seven, the talk is all about atomic structure and exploring the Periodic Table of Elements.

“Eight elements were given to each group and they had to create a Venn diagram to separate the elements into two different groups based on their physical properties. Once separated, they needed to look up the element and find out whether the element is a metal, metalloid, or nonmetal,” Campanella told the Eagle.

The eighth graders are busy learning about

The ribbon was cut on the new STEM lab. heat and heat transfer and are exploring the relationship between heat, kinetic energy and temperature. Their lab works includes calibrating a thermometer, having water reach boiling point and then having water reach the freezing point, Campanella said.

“I was able to bring all three classes into the STEM lab and they absolutely love it,” she added.

Wolf said one of the best things about the lab is the way the facility reinforces what students

are talking about in the classroom.

“The students prep in the classroom and then go to the lab and get the chance for hands-on learning,” said Wolf, who added that the lab also helps teachers as they prepare their lesson plans.

The Diocese of Brooklyn, which oversees Catholic schools in Brooklyn and Queens, assisted Our Lady of Grace Catholic Academy in getting the plans for a lab off the ground, according to Wolf.

Faced with competition from public schools, which are free, religious education institutions in New York City that charge tuition are coming up with all sorts of ways to attract students and increase enrollments.

Keeping pace with public schools in STEM appears to be one way to do it.

“We want people to know that they don’t have to go across the river get good health care,” said Dr. Janet Yeh, assistant professor in the Department of Surgery, who treats breast cancer patients.

One of the reasons NYU Langone officials wanted to set up shop in Brooklyn is because research revealed that many patients seeking treatment at NYU Langone in Manhattan were from Brooklyn, according to Dr. Joseph Weisstuch, the chief medical officer.

“Thirty percent of the patients who left the hospital in Manhattan came home to Brooklyn,” he said.

The goal now is to convince Brooklyn residents that they can get top-notch care closer to home, Rudy said.

NYU Langone Hospital – Brooklyn is a certified Level One Trauma center, meaning

that it is equipped to handle all types of emergencies. It is also an academic institution where doctors are trained in their specialties.

In addition to the hospital, NYU Langone runs dozens of small, family oriented health centers around Brooklyn as well as an ambulatory care center at 6740 Fourth Ave. in Bay Ridge.

Coming in 2019 is the Perlmutter Cancer Center, a 22,000-square facility at 5718 Second Ave. that will offer radiation and infusion treatments for patients with cancer or blood disorders.

Meanwhile, there is innovation going on in many areas of the hospital, according to doctors.

Robotic surgery, which doesn’t involve robots but allows doctors to use technology to perform minimally invasive surgery,

is becoming increasingly common. The hospital has done over 400 robotics surgeries to date.

The hospital also uses an electronic medical records-keeping system that follows a patient to any part of the NYU Langone system, Brooklyn or Manhattan. It is designed to prevent duplication and delays in getting vital medical records to doctors within the system.

A new system that is currently being developed would allow emergency room patients to receive upto-the-minute bulletins on their smartphones that will enable them to learn which doctor will be seeing them, what medical tests they can expect to undergo and whether they will have to be admitted into the hospital as an inpatient or be released.

Dr. Nicholas Gavin, chief of the Emergency Medicine,

said the emergency room saw 80,000 patients last year. The department has made enormous strides in reducing the time it takes for an emergency patient to be seen by a doctor, from an average of 35 minutes to an average of 12 minutes, he said. “This is not happening anywhere else in Brooklyn,” he said.

The Emergency Department has undergone a renovation. “Bringing the facilities up to speed is something we are focusing on,” Rudy said.

Dr. Erich Anderer, chief of neurosurgery, said that innovation in his department has meant that patients with complex neurological issues who would have ordinarily been transferred to an NYU facility in Manhattan can now stay in Brooklyn. “We used to treat 150 cases a year. We are up to 500 cases a year,” he said.

After a moment of silence to remember those affected by the massive devastation, Deacon Julio Barrenche addressed the crowd.

“This is an opportunity to meet with your Maimonides family to celebrate this significant contribution made by Hispanics that will help shaped this community,” he said. “We, as Hispanics, understand our responsibilities and are always ready to work hard to help those in need. We are grateful for the opportunity that has been given

Diana Reyna, former councilmember for the 24th District and former deputy borough president, was the keynote speaker.

“Today we are embracing

culture and diversity and recognizing the beautiful Latino Diaspora, a mixed race,” she said. “Personally, I’ve been asked if I’m Indian or if I speak Spanish because most don’t think that I am Latina. Here lies my journey, one that is deeply rooted in this great borough of Brooklyn. Thanks to the love and sacrifice of my Dominican parents, opportunities blossomed.”

During her speech, she discussed the hardship her parents faced with minimal education. Her mother was a seamstress, her father a factory worker and pizzeria owner.

“I know where I come from,” she said. “I am one generation away from a family of farmers. As a Latina, I celebrate with you our accomplishments in arts and culture, film and media, politics and business.”

The majority of the ceremony was heavily focused on the one year anniversary of Hurricane Maria hitting Puerto Rico, which is reported to have claimed the lives over 3,000 people.

Executive Director of

UPROSE Elizabeth Yeampierre spoke about the devastation and climate change.

“I am so grateful that this is happening today in a hospital because we are living in the age of climate change and health care providers are not prepared for the impacts of climate change,” she said. “People think when a hurricane hits and people die, that number is finite. They don’t understand the implications of climate change.”

The hospital awarded Yeampierre and Reyna plaques and flowers.

Luz Fonseca of Maimonides was also recognized for relief efforts following the hurricane.

“When Hurricane Maria occurred, we got together to talk about what Maimonides’ response was and what we could do to support folks, and the devastation of that impacted island,” she said.

“We all just chipped in. Maimonides has the solidarity to come through and help out in time of need. This is a family hospital where anything that affects any of us, whether it’s students or nurses, it’s a time for helping.”

Special Q&A with Renowned Psychologist Connie Jasmine Castro

BY JOHN ALEXANDER JALEXANDER@BROOKLYNEAGLE. COM

D

r. Connie Jasmine Castro is a nationally certified school psychologist. She is also a licensed psychologist. She has spent over 10 years working with children, adolescents and their families.

She recently took a few minutes to explain her methods of working with a variety of populations.

Q: Please give us some background about yourself.

What made you decide to become a psychologist?

I initially decided to become a psychologist because I enjoy helping others. I enjoy being part of a process that brings self-awareness, individual growth and inner happiness to others.

I began my career working with children, adolescents and young adults. I have extended my capacity also to work directly with

their families, resulting in the ability to work with all age groups.

Psychology is a field that permits me the opportunity to assist others with any concerns they would like to discuss or work through in therapy sessions.

Q: Tell us about your process of working with people with special needs.

Depending on the type of special need required by an individual, several types of support are typically needed. Therapy is one aspect which can help positively modify certain thoughts or behaviors to improve an individual’s ability to react to or function in daily situations.

For example, social skills training is one type of therapy that can be used to teach the individual how to relate to or engage with others on a daily basis. Furthermore, therapy for their caregiver, parent or family member can also serve as a support system.

Q: You enjoy working therapeutically with individuals of all ages. Is there one particular age group you find most rewarding to work with?

There is no one particular age group I find most rewarding to work with. I prefer to work with all ages as each age group brings forth different types of thoughts, behaviors and situations relating to their stage in life.

This makes the therapeutic process more interesting and rewarding as I am able to witness different types of positive changes and individual growth in each client.

Q: Please describe your collaborative approach to working with your patients.

My collaborative approach varies with the age group. In summary, I attempt to guide the client and/or caregiver to identify the thoughts, behaviors and/or situations they would like to work through.

If the client needs further

assistance with this, I facilitate the dialogue to help create greater individual self-awareness.

Q: What are some of the various therapy methods you provide?

The therapy methods used are individualized to each client. I am a believer that there is not one method of therapy that is the right fit for all. I also believe that it may be necessary to use a variety of therapeutic

methods overtime.

In essence, the end result is to have the individual increase their cognitive awareness which in turn can improve the client’s ability to understand and positively modify their behavior or reaction in different situations. Furthermore, the therapy methods used are even more successful if the client feels understood by the therapist.

Q: Is there anything else you would like our readers to know about you?

I am credentialed as a provider for various health insurance panels. I also have private rates if you don’t have health insurance, or if I am not on your health insurance panel. Please call the Psychology Office of Dr. Connie Jasmine Castro PLLC at 917-991-1615 to make an appointment, or if you have any further questions.

– 5 p.m.

Where: DUMBO/Minus Space (16A Main Street) QUIETER PLACES Marshall LaCount’s Quieter Places paintings are a collective approach to places quieter than the city; quieter than a mind treading in traumas; quieter than political despondency. These Quieter Places are beyond certain borders. They are elsewhere, for they are not places, they are images. In this case, they are images constructed by aching hands and sore arms which have managed to pull away

from other work, made in less quiet places. Plaster is shaped alongside acrylic paint, wallboard, spray paint. Graffiti and the constant buffing of graffiti get a nod. The works are playful: primary colors occupy measured spaces in largely white fields of textured plaster. This play is a renegotiating of borders.

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

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

The Brooklyn Bridge is not his only subject, but it is a dominating one; the work evokes permanence, construction, and calls attention to the history of place.

Where: DUMBO/Land Gallery (67 Front Street) CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

TRAITOR MUSCLE A New Commission and the first major solo exhibition in New York by Joseph Buckley.

The artist’s practice centers on the relationship between grief and postcolonialism.

Against a backdrop of contemporary fascism, Buckley employs a range of visual and cultural references—from sci-fi to modernism to Doc Martens to slave ships to Amazon’s factory floor—asking us to deeply consider society’s divisions and fractures, using the medium of sculpture to investigate the psychic technologies that enable them.

When: Tuesdays-Saturdays through November 3rd, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

Where: DUMBO/Art In General (145 Plymouth Street) ROBERT CUMMINGS New drawings from polymath artist Robert Cumming. Cumming’s nudes imply a compelling yet elusive narrative informed by his merging interests in painting, sculpture, and photography.

When: Tuesdays-Saturdays through November 3rd, 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Where: DUMBO/Janet Borden, Inc. (91 Water Street) SPREAD WILD: PLEASURES OF THE YUCCA

10INB • INBROOKLYN — A Special Section of Brooklyn Daily Eagle/Brooklyn Eagle/Heights Press/Home Reporter/Brooklyn Spectator/Brooklyn Record/Greenpoint Gazette • Week of October 4 - October 10, 2018

Paula Wilson’s mixed-media installation transforms Smack Mellon’s industrial space into a landscape resembling the high desert plains of New Mexico, where the artist currently lives.

Central among the flora and fauna depicted are the yucca plant and yucca moth. Their pollination ritual represents a quintessential example of mutualism, which Wilson reimagines as a love scene.

She outfits the gallery’s towering columns as larger than life naturalists who act as guides and observers of the display. By portraying an untold narrative of black and brown environmentalists, Wilson draws connections between the human rights and environmental movements and offers a paradigm for how embracing the natural world can engender harmony.

Theatre for Kids and of Families Park Slope Children Discover a ‘World Wonders’Opens at Early in Childcare Center

By John Alexander INBROOKLYN

Play Nice Theatre has begun its season of lighthearted musicals with positive, life-affirming messages about cooperation and kindness. And they’re looking for their July/August cast, musicians, and backstage helpers.

Relocated from Manhattan, this all-volunteer company’s rehearsals and meetings reflect their mission and message by encouraging its mixed-generation cast and crew (ages 6 to 106) to interact socially and share stories of their own lives on and off stage.

In a welcoming atmosphere, the experienced and new Play Nice actors and crew are encouraged to come early and linger after assigned rehearsal slots in order to get to know each other, help each other memorize their lines, do school homework and play games. Some may choose to help with scenery painting or prop-making.

All ticket sales from main stage shows ($10 admission) is donated to local charities, a prime motivation for many participants who find it rewarding to help raise money for those less fortunate through donating their time and talent.

According to theatre founder Rob Lester, the cast and crew are like a second family. “Working on a show with

friendly people is fun and satisfying,” he says.

The Brooklyn Eagle stopped by the new location at 89 Fourth Avenue, five blocks from Barclays Center, where the two-act musical “The Three Little Pigs Buy a Brownstone in Brooklyn” is running on weekends (2 p.m. Saturdays, 3:30 p.m.

Sundays, through July 1).

The Eagle is mentioned prominently in the Brooklyn-centric script in Scene 6 and the newspaper is used as a prop as well. The show’s target audience is ages six and up, with plenty of humor adults will appreciate.

“Two six-year-olds are among the actors, with the oldest member more than ten times their age, and the family idea is reflected literally: the cast includes two brothers who play two of the pigs; a mother and her son have a scene together as an older pig

and hedgehog; two actors are cousins,” we’re informed.

Original lyrics are set to public domain melodies including old folk songs and classic children’s tunes.

The show, which emphasizes “being a good neighbor,” plus patience, perseverance, and pig puns runs through July 1, will be followed by show after show, starting with the summer musical about kids and counselors at an unusual summer camp, titled “Not a Happy Camper.”

The theatre welcomes audition appointments, visits, donations of costumes and supplies, and all inquiries throughout the year. Acting classes, puppet shows, concerts, one-day free workshops, variety shows, and special family events are planned and a fundraising concert on July 20.

For more details, show times, tickets, and contact information, go to www.PlayNicePeople. com.

It’s a virtual wonderland of learning at World of Wonders Early Childcare Center.

For over 10 years, the in-demand childcare location has been providing nurturing childcare with a developmentally appropriate curriculum for children ages two to six in the heart of Brooklyn.

On Wednesday, Sept. 26, World of Wonders hosted a grand opening for its newest center at 6705 13th Avenue in Dyker Heights.

One of the center’s major supporters is community leader Carlo Scissura, president and CEO of New York Building Congress.

Scissura’s daughter Teresa Rose is a recent graduate of the daycare.

Jeannine McKenna started World of Wonders from her home in 2000. She opened the first World of Wonders Early Childcare Center in 2008 at 7219 New Utrecht Avenue. Her goal was to create a safe, nurturing environment for children with age-appropriate programs that would allow them the opportunity 14INB • INBROOKLYN — A Special Section of Brooklyn Eagle/Heights Press/Home Reporter/Brooklyn Spectator/Brooklyn Record/Greenpoint Gazette • Week of June 14-20, 2018 to learn new skills while at the center.

The various learning centers are designed to help stimulate children’s early literacy skills. In addition, each classroom features various learning centers focusing on math, science, drama, writing, art and computer skills.

McKenna’s efforts were so successful that in 2014 she opened a second World of Wonders at 7215 New Utrecht Avenue. This week McKenna, her husband Bobby, and their children Bobby, Bryan and Meagan celebrated the opening of their third daycare.

World of Wonders offers a variety of childcare programs including ones specifically designed for two-year-olds, three-year-olds, and full time pre-k.

The staff consists of New York State certified teachers and group teachers who have obtained their Bachelor’s degree in early childhood education. They are fully licensed by the New York State Department of Health Bureau of Day Care.

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Borough Pres Adams Wants Municipal Building Named After Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

By Rob Abruzzese INBrooklyn

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams has started a petition on Change.org to have the Municipal Building in Downtown Brooklyn renamed after Brooklyn’s most famous U.S. Supreme Court Justice, Hon. Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Justice Ginsburg was born in Brooklyn, raised in Flatbush and attended James Madison High School before she went to Cornell University and Columbia Law School.

“The life of Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a quintessential New York story. She grew up in Flatbush, the daughter of Jewish immigrants,” said Adams’ Change.org petition.

“Despite family tragedies that struck Justice Ginsburg early in life, including the death of her 6-year-old sister and early passing of her mother Celia, she rose to the apex of her profession, staying true to her ideals and principles.

This Joralemon Street building, known as the Brooklyn Municipal Building.

Brooklyn Eagle file photos by Rob Abruzzese

“Ruth Bader Ginsburg has become an icon, affectionately referred to as the ‘Notorious RBG.’ In an era where popular culture puts performing artists and sports stars on a public pedestal, Ruth Bader Ginsburg has risen to incredible levels of iconic admiration and love.”

By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn

When the L train stops running from Manhattan to Brooklyn, this will still be a prime place to party.

We’re talking about the area around the Bedford Avenue L train station in Williamsburg.

The area is a magnet: • For tourists.

• For young people who want to be where other young people congregate on Saturday nights.

• For Brooklyn residents who want to shop at Apple and live closer to the store on the corner of North 3rd Street and Bedford Avenue than the one near Barclays Center in Fort Greene.

• For real estate nerds like us who are fascinated by Williamsburg’s jumble of historic rowhouses, spiffed-up factories, garish new apartment buildings and entertaining restaurants and shops.

The street and sidewalks are a bit chaotic around the Bedford Avenue and North 7th Street subway entrance because of construction that’s already underway though subway tunnel repairs haven’t yet begun. See related story.

Even so, it’s great fun to stroll in a loop down Bedford Avenue to Grand Street then up Berry Street and back over on North 7th Street to the subway entrance.

Fancy British Cosmetics and A Former Sweater Factory

We took lots of photos when we walked this route the other day. You can find a full set of them at brooklyneagle.com.

Highlights of our stroll include the fab oldfashioned rowhouse with a classic wooden storefront at 229 Bedford Ave. Its retail tenant is a British cosmetics retailer called Space NK. The entrance to Whole Foods at 238 Bedford Ave. was filled with a wall-to-wall display of potted orchids for sale.

We love the former sweater factory at 218 Bedford Ave. that’s now a loft apartment building with a mini-mall on the ground floor. It was one of the neighborhood’s first industrial-to-residential conversions. Nearby, Senko Funeral Home at 213 Bedford Ave. is another eye-catching property.

The wedge-shaped building at 292 Bedford Ave. on the corner of Grand Street is at least a century old.

A cocktail bar called Kill Devil House of Dark Spirits recently opened there.

Nostalgia Alert: Gant Shirts Are Sold on Berry Street

On the corner of Berry and North 4th streets, a 1930s factory called the Lewis Steel Building is now a loft apartment complex. The two-story former factory at 160 Berry St. has a funky mural on a side wall that depicts a giant squirrel. A Shake Shack is located there.

We love the row of old-fashioned houses that starts at 107 North 5th St., where a shop called ID Menswear is located, and extends up Berry Street to the corner of North 6th Street.

Gant, the clothing maker best known for its button-down shirts, is housed in a handsome low-rise building on a Berry Street corner.

Its address is 115 North 6th St. There’s a glassy four-story condo building on another Berry Street corner. Its look is very typical of 21st-century Williamsburg.

Its address is 120 North 7th St.

RETAIL VACANCIES ABOUND NEAR THE BEDFORD AVENUE L STOP

By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn L-mageddon already has a prime span of Williamsburg’s Bedford Avenue in its grip.

The L train shutdown between the Bedford Avenue station and Manhattan doesn’t start until next April. But construction machinery already clogs the streets outside the L train stop at the intersection of Bedford Avenue and North 7th Street.

The North 7th Street block between Bedford and Driggs avenues is closed to vehicular traffic for construction in the road bed. A sign posted there says the closure will continue until June 2019.

Work is underway to make improvements on the Bedford Avenue station. An online posting by the MTA says two new street-level stairways are being added to the station’s Bedford Avenue entrance, and two others are being added to its Driggs Avenue stop.

The current construction in the street and the looming threat of diminished numbers of shoppers, diners and drinkers coming from Manhattan are apparently making vacant storefronts a bit harder to fill with tenants.

When we were strolling around the area the other day, we made a list of empty ground-floor spaces. Afterwards, we tracked down some details about the vacant properties. What follows is a sampler of them.

Retail Vacancies Abound Near the Bedford Avenue L Stop

By the way, when we talk about Bedford Avenue leasing deals, we’re talking big bucks.

In the Real Estate Board of New York’s most recently published survey, which was for the Winter 2018 time period, Bedford Avenue between Grand and North 12th streets was tied with Downtown Brooklyn’s Fulton Mall as the commercial corridors with the priciest ground-floor retail asking rents in our borough.

The median asking rent for both locations was $350 per square foot per year, the survey indicates.

Also, Bedford Avenue’s range of ground-floor retail asking rents — from $138 to $600 per square foot per year — had the highest ceiling among Brooklyn commercial corridors.

The next highest retail rent range was on Fulton Mall, with a low of $320 and a high of $400 per square foot per year.

Bernstein signed the deeds for these properties the firm purchased, Finance Department records show.

• A sign on the door at vacant 184 Bedford Ave. says there is space for rent on the building’s ground floor, second floor and lower level. There’s 3,200 square feet available on each floor.

Finance Department records show RedSky Capital bought 184-186 Bedford Ave. through an LLC for $20.675 million in 2014.

• A handbag maker called Min & Mon formerly occupied now-vacant 190 Bedford Ave. This building belongs to RedSky Capital, which paid $13.181 million for it through an LLC in 2016, Finance Department records indicate.

• A sushi restaurant called Mizu formerly occupied nowvacant space at 192 Bedford Ave. RedSky Capital bought the building through an LLC for $12.25 million in 2015, Finance Department records indicate.

• Leasing agents have posted RedSky Capital’s name and a rendering in the windows of vacant 204-206 Bedford Ave. According to the signage, the available space in this build-tosuit project will include 3,558 square feet on the property’s ground floor, 3,708 square feet on the second floor, 1,195 square feet on the roof and 3,112 square feet on the lower level.

RedSky Capital purchased the property through an LLC for $19 million in 2014, Finance Department records show.

NYPD Officers Honored At Mass in Gravesend

Saints Simon and Jude Roman Catholic Church (near Van Sicklen Street and Avenue T in Gravesend) hosted an NYPD appreciation mass last weekend at the church. NYPD officers present included Brooklyn South Chief Charles Scholl. The parents of slain Police Officer Wenjian Liu were present. Msgr. David Cassato, Msgr. Robert Romano, Father John Maduri and Father Sijo George participated in the mass. Cassato spoke about the dedication of police officers in protecting the community and taught about St. Michael the Archangel as the patron saint of law enforcement.

Retired NYPD Detective Daniel Sprague played the bagpipe as his son Owen, who suffers from Down Syndrome, marched by his side.

The Hymn Society in the United States and Canada last year launched the Center for Congregational Song as its new resources and programmatic arm. These events celebrate the importance and power of congregational song.

The Plymouth Worship and Arts Ministry hosts this program that features master song leader Mark Miller, who will lead a presentation on singing justice.

Composer and author Ana Hernandez will lead worship and a session on rote-song singing.

Other presentations will include an introduction to the Center for Congregational Song, led by the center’s founding director Brian Hehn, who will introduce the center and its mission.

Plymouth member Jacque Jones, a recent past president of the Hymn Society, will lead a breakout session on hymn text writing.

The day will conclude with a rousing hymn festival led by Mark Miller and Brian Hehn.

This daylong song festival is expected to be of particular interest to sacred music profes-

sionals and those interested in the creation and use of congregational song. Admission is free, but registration is required (https://bit.ly/2NZiX7X).

The hymn festival portion, starting at 5 p.m., open to the public and held in the history-rich Plymouth sanctuary on Orange Street in Brooklyn Heights, will focus on “Singing Justice.”

During the workshop portion of the day, Hehn will introduce the concept of Sing Justice

in a presentation titled “Serve and Sing.” Participants will sing great hymns of the faith while writing notes of encouragement to the professionals who assist the victims of abuse and trafficking. Plymouth’s Anti-Trafficking Ministry will then use these notes.

During another presentation in the Plymouth Sanctuary, Miller will explore themes of justice in worship and music.

There will also be some free time for participants to experience guided tours of the church

that Plymouth History Ministry members will lead, and for shopping in Plymouth’s Underground Thrift Store, which supports anti-trafficking agencies.

Participants are responsible for their own lunches. Plymouth is a block away from several eateries on Henry St. More information about the Center for Congregational Song may be found at congregationalsong.org. For information about Plymouth Church, check out plymouthchurch.org.

ON OCT. 2, 1937, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported, “The Hugo L. Black-Ku Klux Klan fight has only just begun, in the opinion of many well-informed Washington observers. The new Supreme Court justice’s sensational radio address last night, estimated to have been heard by upwards of 31,000,000 persons, received a widely varying reception among high Government officials, but the majority still remained critical. Although no plans were announced by the leaders of the battle on Black’s appointment, there was a definite hint of impeachment proceedings in one quarter … In the meantime the new justice is preparing to take his place on the bench of the highest court in the land on Monday when it reconvenes after its usual Summer recess … President [Franklin D.] Roosevelt, whose statement on the case at the White House some time ago was believed responsible for Mr. Black’s finally taking cognizance of the charge that he is a life member of the Klan, did not hear the broadcast.” 

ON OCT. 3, 1946, the Eagle reported, “A veterans hospital for Brooklyn, one of the borough’s top-flight projects for years, was in the blueprint stage today. Col. W.F. Heavey, district engineer of the army’s corps of engineers, announced at district headquarters, 120 Wall St., Manhattan, that the architectural design had been approved and that architect-engineers have been directed to proceed with working drawings. The site of the facility, which covers 18 acres at Fort Hamilton, is bounded by Cropsey Ave. Extension, 1st Ave., MacArthur Ave. and Dyker Beach Park. Plans call for a main building and facilities for 1,000 beds, nurses quarters, separate buildings for attendants and staff, and a powerhouse, garage and laundry in a service building.”

 ON OCT. 4, 1946, the Eagle reported, “The century-old Penny Bridge at the foot of Montague St., picturesque as it was, could no longer stand in the way of progress. The small metal footbridge which spanned the street where it cuts deeply from Brooklyn Heights to the East River, mecca of youngsters and nursemaids of the area by day and haven of spooners at night, has been torn down in the interests of the Brooklyn-Queens Connecting Highway. Engineers at Borough Hall today said that the present ramp will be filled in to bring everything to the upper level … Once before, in 1934, the span was in danger – but that time it was saved by the protests of aroused Brooklynites … One of the small bridge’s attractions was the splendid view of the Manhattan skyline it afforded. According to borough engineers, this view will be vastly improved by the improved park at the foot of the street now planned.”  ON OCT. 6, 1892, the Eagle reported, “Tennyson is dead.

His demise was anticipated both by the press and the people. The event occurred with sublime natural incidents. The published account refers to them. Exchange of worlds more poetical was never made. They thought him dying when he slept and sleeping when he died. America will share with England and both with all other lands a sense of profound loss.”

ON OCT. 6, 1941, the Brooklyn Eagle reported, “The Yankees won the World Series at Ebbets Field this afternoon when they scored their third straight victory over the Dodgers and their fourth in five games played. The score was 3 to 1. The Yankees scored a run, their third, in the fifth when [Tommy] Henrich blasted a homer.” The Yankees and Dodgers would meet again in 1947, 1949, 1952 1953, 1955 and 1956, with the Dodgers winning their only championship in Brooklyn in 1955. Since moving to Los Angeles, they have won titles in 1959, 1963, 1965, 1981 and 1988.  ON OCT. 7, 1931, the Eagle reported, “Manager Paul Binstock of the Fortway Theater reports a rush of youngsters to join the Mickey Mouse Club about to be launched by that theater and co-operating stores among which membership blanks have been distributed. ‘The Mickey Mouse Club, suggested by the Mickey Mouse cartoons in sound, is one with a very definite purpose,’ explains Manager Binstock.

‘For instance, here is the creed of the Mickey Mouse Club: I will be a square shooter in my home, in school, on the playground, and wherever I may be. I will be truthful and honorable, and strive, always, to make myself a better and more useful little citizen. I will respect my elders and help the aged, the helpless and children smaller than myself. In short I will be a good American.”  ON OCT. 8, 1888, the Eagle reported from London, “Nothing that the newspapers can present to their readers receives any attention except the Whitechapel murders. Important political utterances, which ordinarily would provoke general discussion, are unread and continental affairs of vital interest to England are thrust aside as of no consequence whatever. The police have adopted the theory that the letter and postal card signed ‘Jack the Ripper,’ sent to the Central News a week ago Thursday, emanated from the actual murderer. Facsimiles of the letter and card are posted in every police station and upon every dead wall, accompanied by a paragraph begging any person recognizing the writing to communicate with General Sir Charles Warren, Chief Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police. The Central News received another communication from ‘Jack the Ripper’ yesterday evening announcing his intention to commit more murder tonight and upon the strength of that the police have ordered every man on duty and are assisted by hundreds of amateur detectives. The reign of terror which has prevailed in the Whitechapel district during the past week still continues, and the arrival of daylight tomorrow morning will be hailed with joy by thousands of the denizens of that locality.”  ON OCT. 8, 1942, the Eagle reported, “Brooklyn went scrap-happy today as the red-hot enthusiasm of the borough’s treasure hunters, reported in cold statistics hour by hour, passed the scheduled quota in the first four hours and speeded on, at an ever-increasing tempo which promised to bring in at least 100,000,000 pounds of vital war materials before the day was done. An army of almost 10,000 men and women, rolling through the borough’s 1,400 miles of scrap-laden streets aboard 1,400 trucks, was collecting vital metals at a rate which, before noon, hit well above 7,000,000 pounds per hour. By noon the Brooklyn total, including 10,742,545 pounds which were harvested before official collection day, reached 37,330,664 … One woman, who would not give her name, was asked by reporters why she was giving her baby’s bathtub away. She said, ‘I can bathe my baby in the regular bathtub. The rubber and metal which make up this bathinette will help save some American boy’s life and get rid of a Jap or a Nazi.’”

SAINT-MARTIN: French President Visits: In this photo taken Saturday Sept. 29, French president Emmanuel Macron meets a former robber of Quartier Orleans, on the French Caribbean island of Saint-Martin, during a trip in the French West Indies, one year after Hurricanes Irma and Maria damaged the Island. Macron said on Sunday that he met with the ex-robber during an unplanned side trip into a housing project in Saint Martin because “I love each child of the (French) Republic, whatever their mistakes.”
