been good to have more tenantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attorneys here weighing in.â&#x20AC;?

Rosenthal joked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every single one of them, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all sitting in the Bronx.â&#x20AC;?

That was just one of the topics discussed at the recent KCHCBA meeting, which is different from the typical monthly meetings most bar associations host that features a continuing legal education lecture.

The KCHCBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meetings are more laid back, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a lot to learn. On Thursday, Hon. Remy Smith was in attendance, and she discussed Bills of Particulars (BPs) for 20 minutes, explaining what housing court attorneys should expect.

Afterward, members had an opportunity to discuss new rules that have been implemented in recent months with Hon.

Alliance for Coney Island Hosts Back-to-School Fair

BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

H

undreds of kids in Coney Island are beginning the school year with brand new backpacks that were donated to them, thanks to the Alliance for Coney Island Inc., which organized a back-to-school fair to get the youngsters off to a good start.

The alliance sponsored a Back-to-School Fair on a five-block stretch of Mermaid Ave. on Sept. 8.

Composed of businesses, non-profit groups and community leaders, the alliance is a public-private partnership that works to improve the quality of life for Coney Island residents.

The alliance receives support from Borough President Eric Adams and the New York City Economic Development Corporation to operate its various community improvement programs.

On Saturday, the alliance handed out 500 backpacks to children attending the fair with their parents. The kids got an added bonus.

The backpacks were filled with school supplies.

Councilmember Mark Treyger, a Democrat who represents Coney Island, helped organize the fair, along with the New York City Department of Transportation’s Weekend Walks program.

Alliance Executive Director Alexandra Silversmith said the fair had

a double purpose: to help ensure that local children had what they needed for school, and to promote Mermaid Avenue as a great place to shop.

“We are proud to partner with our local elected officials and local businesses to give back to the community and provide essential school supplies to students while also creating a celebratory day on Mermaid Avenue, the main commercial corridor for our residents and businesses,” Silversmith said in a statement.

In addition to the distribution of backpacks and school supplies, the fair also featured performances by dance groups, musicians, Zumba lessons, salsa demonstrations, face painting, art displays, free health screenings and information on job readiness programs, education opportunities and afterschool programs, according to organizers.

Johnny Saavedra climbs the rock wall.

“What better way to celebrate the start of a new school year than by bringing the community together for a day of free, fun activities, helpful resources and free school supply giveaways,” said Treyger, who serves as chairperson of the City Council’s Committee on Education.

“In today’s difficult economic times, many parents struggle just to make ends meet. Today’s event will hopefully help to alleviate the high-cost of supplies and send children to school with some of the items they need for a successful year,” Democratic state Sen. Diane Savino said in a statement.

Savino and another Coney Island lawmaker, U.S. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries,

helped organize the fair.

“As students prepare to return to the classroom, parents are busy making sure their children have everything they need to succeed this school year.

By putting everything from health screenings to backpack donations in one place, the community fair makes it easier for busy families to get their kids ready for school, all while putting a smile on everyone’s faces,” Jeffries stated.

Eddie Mark, district manager of Community Board 13, was impressed with the fair, calling it a successful day.

“Letting children be children before going back to school at a local community event is a wonderful thing,” he said in a statement.

Local Pol: Four Years Too Long to Air Condition City Schools

BY JOHN ALEXANDER JALEXANDER@ BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

I

n April, 2017, de Blasio and the City Council announced a five-year, $28 million plan to install air conditioning in all classrooms by 2022.

However, with some schools in New York being forced to implement early dismissal on the first day of classes due to high temperatures, suddenly the matter is ta king on added significance.

The thermometer hit 90 degrees on Wednesday, Sept. 5, as students entered their new classrooms for the first time. Thursday wasn’t much better with the temperature rising to 85 degrees.

The announced time frame does not sit well with state Sen. Marty Golden who believes the project should be completed much sooner.

Holy Angels Academy Students Tie Ribbons for 9/11 Victims

BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

S

tudents at a Bay Ridge Catholic school are far too young to remember the Sept. 11 terrorist attack that took place 17 years ago, long before they were born.

But they are aware of the significance of that tragic day in U.S. history, according to their principal, who led the youngsters in a commemoration of the event Tuesday morning, Sept. 11.

“Sept. 11 is part of our curriculum. Our teachers talk to the children in each of our classes about what happened,” Rosemarie McGoldrick, principal of Holy Angels Catholic Academy, told this newspaper as she stood in the school’s courtyard and watched approvingly as youngsters tied red, white and blue ribbons to a fence.

Next to the fence where the children were carefully affixing their ribbons stood a permanent memorial to Sept. 11, a small section of a steel beam from the Twin Towers.

The beam was brought

to the courtyard several years ago by the Rev. James Devlin, who was the pastor of Our Lady of Angels Catholic Church at the time. Holy Angels Catholic Academy has close ties to the church, which is located next door to the school.

Holy Angels Academy is located at 337 74th St. The presence of the steel beam serves as a daily reminder to the students and to Our Lady of Angels parishioners of the sacrifices made on Sept. 11, 2001.

Seventeen parishioners of Our Lady of Angels were killed in the World Trade Center that day.

A plaque listing the names of the local victims is attached to the fence behind the steel beam.

Lake and James Riches, as well as a police officer, Moira Smith.

The list also contains civilians who either worked in the World Trade Center or were there that day by chance.

Barbara Habib, a senior vice president at Marsh & McLennan, worked in her company’s midtown Manhattan office but was in the firm’s office in the North Tower for a

conference when the building was struck by a hijacked jetliner.

On Tuesday, Holy Angels Academy had a wreath placed in front of the steel beam.

Russell Berry, the school’s social studies teacher, planned the ribbon-tying tribute and directed the children, who went up to the fence once class at a time.

The memorial service started with the Rev. Jason

Espinal, the parochial vicar of Our Lady of Angels Church, leading the students and teachers in prayer.

“We pray for the families of the victims. We pray for our nation,” he said.

State Sen. Marty Golden, who was an altar boy at Our Lady of Angels Church when he was growing up in Bay Ridge, attended the ceremony and talked to the students about the importance of remembering Sept.

11 as the years go by and the date recedes into the distant past.

At some point in the next few decades, Golden said, the students standing in the school courtyard will be the civic, business and political leaders, and will be bearing the responsibility of maintaining the country’s focus on Sept. 11.

“It’s important that we never, ever forget. You are the future who will be leading this great nation. Never let these incidents happen again in our future,” Golden told the children.

The ceremony ended with Espinal leading everyone in the singing of “God Bless America.”

The Atomic Cafe

Though the topic of atomic holocaust is a grave matter, The Atomic Cafe approaches it with black humor. Much of the humor derives from the modern audience's reaction to the old training films, such as the Duck and Cover film shown in schools. A quote to illustrate what can be perceived as black humor, culled from the movie: "Viewed from a safe distance, the atomic bomb is one of the most beautiful sights ever seen by man," a U.S. Army training film declares.

Wikipedia This film recounts a defining period of 20th century history and serves as a chilling and often hilarious reminder of cold-war era paranoia in the United States--artfully presented through a collage of newsreel footage, government archive, military training films, and fifties music.

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

BRIC has commissioned activist artist Mary Mattingly to create a major new work, one that examines the connection between mineral mining and the massive military industrial complex; and its profound effects on the environment, individuals, and communities. With an expanding military economy and slow erosion of public services, this exhibition poses the question of what happens when our public spaces become more militarized. A creatively transformed 19,000 pound military cargo truck at the center of the exhibition acts to turn the conversation outward toward reimagining a public life together through the use of objects with violent histories.

GREENWOOD HEIGHTS The neighborhood name Greenwood Heights is sometimes considered a real-estate stunt but the title was actually referred to in an 1846 Brooklyn Eagle article about a new ferry from Manhattan to the area. The article lists perks of the route including “facilities for communication with the groves of Greenwood Heights, and the lovely bay of Gowanus.”

From the 19th century through the middle 20th century, the area’s economy was dominated by the working Brooklyn waterfront but the neighborhood is best known for its namesake, Green-Wood Cemetery.

The 478-acre space was commissioned in 1838 as a retreat where visitors could respect the dead and appreciate nature. Until Prospect Park was completed in 1873, the cemetery was mostly used by Brooklynites as a recreational space and as the harbor became increasingly popular, a daily stage coach shuttled visitors from the ferries to Green-Wood.

Its success as a tourist attraction fueled a competition to design a public park for New York City. The winning design for “Greensward,” submitted by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux formed the basis for Central Park.

Buried among Green-Wood Cemetery’s half-million graves are William Marcy (Boss) Tweed, De Witt Clinton, Lola Montez, Peter Cooper, Henry Ward Beecher, Nathaniel Currier, James Ives, Margaret Sanger and Leonard Bernstein.

Come Stroll Fifth Avenue in Bay Ridge

By Lore Croghan

INBrooklyn From convent to condos. Now that’s a study in contrasts.

At the very end of Brooklyn’s Fifth Avenue, a brand-new apartment building stands on a site where nuns lived.

Even if you’re too young to remember there was a convent at 401 95th St. before the Arcadia Bay Ridge condos were constructed, you’ll see another big contrast when you walk down the avenue.

The glass-clad condo building is right across the street from St. Patrick’s, a yellow-brick 1920s church with a bell tower and a rose window.

The Bay Ridge span of Fifth Avenue is a great place for a stroll.

The logical way to take this walk is by starting at the car dealerships on the corner of 65th Street and heading south. Along the way, there’s a fascinating mix of Middle-Eastern restaurants and shops, businesses with longevity like Mike’s Donuts and the cutest canine mural ever.

Before we show you interesting sights on our north-to-south Bay Ridge trek, we first want to spotlight the avenue’s very last block, where seven-story condo building 401 95th St. is located.

Condo sponsor J&J Property & Management Group LLC bought the former convent site from St. Patrick’s for $3 million in 2009, city Finance Department records show.

According to a posting on website We3.com, in February the state Attorney General accepted a condo offering plan for Arcadia Bay Ridge filed by attorney Jodi B. Zimmerman of Ficara & Associates PC. There are 22 residential units, one commercial unit and 13 parking spaces.

The Attorney General’s real estate finance database says the expected total sellout price is $23.637 million. The sponsor’s principals are Tak Kwong Cheung, Hing Ying Cheung, Tin Tak Cheng and Po Yung Cheng.

When we checked StreetEasy.com’s posting about Arcadia Bay Ridge after our stroll, asking prices for available condos ranged from $918,000 for a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment to $525,000 for a one-bedroom, one-bathroom unit.

A Pre-Civil War Parish for Catholic Soldiers

BAY RIDGE Straddled by the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway and boosted over New York harbor, Bay Ridge’s history highlights how developments in transportation have reshaped Brooklyn as a whole.

The Dutch West Indian Company bought the land that is now Bay Ridge from the Nyack Indians in 1652. Named Yellow Hook or Yellow Ridge for the color of the clay found there, the community pushed to rename it Bay Ridge after the yellow-fever epidemic of 1848 and1849 tainted its original name.

Wealthy businessmen and industrialists visited the area as a summer retreat, building mansions on the Bay Ridge bluffs that can still be seen today.

The neighborhood was transformed after power broker Robert Moses pushed construction of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, in opposition to ridge residents, 8,000 of whom were displaced for construction.

The bridge has since become a neighborhood icon for the widely diverse population. See page 18INB. —Norm Goldstein

Because of the way Bay Ridge’s street grid is laid out, Fourth and Fifth avenues form a V at 95th Street and Fifth Avenue disappears. Fourth Avenue continues south to the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.

Because of this set-up, the Roman Catholic Church of St. Patrick has a Fourth Avenue address although it’s directly across 95th Street from Arcadia Bay Ridge on Fifth Avenue.

St. Patrick’s has a storied history. It was first established as a mission in the 1840s. Back then, St. Patrick’s served as the parish for Catholic soldiers at Fort Hamilton.

The church building that preceded the present-day one was built in the early 1850s. Fort Hamilton soldiers’ donations of one dollar per week helped to pay for its construction.

A Remedy for Bald Tires and a Billiard Hall

Now let’s circle back to the northern end of Bay Ridge and take this stroll. The first spot that will catch your eye is 67 Street Tire Shop, which is in a storefront at 6702 Fifth Ave. There’s always a display of tires outside on the sidewalk.

AVENUE

Sunset Park/Greenwood Heights/Bay Ridge

ABOVE: At day’s end, folks head to hilltop Sunset Park for some fresh air.

By Lore Croghan

INBrooklyn The most dazzling sight on Fifth Avenue in Greenwood Heights and Sunset Park is a graveyard’s gateway.

This isn’t just any graveyard. It’s Green-Wood Cemetery, which has been a major visitor magnet pretty much since its 1838 founding.

In the 19th century, New Yorkers took carriage rides, picnicked and partied in the hilly 478-acre burial ground. Though the setting around it has become urban, it still looks bucolic today.

The brownstone gates — which the city landmarked in 1966 — are located at Green-Wood’s main entrance on Fifth Avenue at 25th Street in Greenwood Heights.

INBrooklyn photo by Lore Croghan

john designed these Gothic Revival-style arches in 1861. You’ll see them as you head south along Fifth Avenue, which is lined with mixed-use rowhouses a century old or more. Mingled in among them are financial institutions, religious buildings — and a popular hilltop recreation area that, like the neighborhood, is named Sunset Park.

The park extends along Fifth Avenue from 41st to 44th streets.

The Jackie Gleason Depot

How Sweet It Is! Eleven blocks away from Green-Wood Cemetery’s gates, the first building you’ll find in Sunset Park is the Jackie Gleason Depot.

It’s a 919,000-square-foot NYC Transit System building.

In 1988, the MTA named it after the late comedian. He played Brooklyn bus driver Ralph Kramden in the 1950s CBSTV series “The Honeymooners.” The depot is located at 847 Architects Richard Upjohn and his son Richard Michell Up- Fifth Ave. on the corner of 36th Street.

At 889 Fifth Ave. on the northeast corner of 39th Street, a curved turret is a nice touch. The building houses the Sunset Park Diner.

One of Sunset Park’s grandest Fifth Avenue buildings is the former Ah, the view.

Bay Ridge Savings Bank, which is made of limestone and has Ionic From atop a hill in Sunset Park, there are marvelous vista of the harbor, the Vercolumns flanking its front door and razano Narrows Bridge and the Manhattan skyline -- and the setting sun. high arched windows.

It now houses a JPMorgan Chase who farmed the area before the Europeans came in the 1600s. Then the Dutch found branch.

SUNSET PARK

the fertile soil and the waterways to their liking, acquired the land from the Canarsies and began farming along the waterfront.

It became more of an urban community after Brooklyn was made a city in 1834 and developed further with the building of horse car lines and factories in the area.

The neighborhood grew dramatically after Irving T. Bush bought oceanfront property and built Bush Terminal in 1895, a complex of piers, warehouses and factory lofts that created Brooklyn as a major port for shipping and made Sunset Park into a busy waterfront area. Later, the Brooklyn Army Terminal was constructed (1919) as a military ocean supply depot that operated through World War II. But the building of the Gowanus Expressway, completed in 1941, virtually cut the neighborhood off from the waterfront and workers began leaving, changing the nature of Sunset Park once again.

Indeed, Sunset Park is a prime example of how Brooklyn neighborhoods change ethnically as well as geographically. It was settled by the Irish escaping the potato famine at home around 1845. Then Scandinavians settled in sections that became known as Finntown and Little Norway. Hispanics came to the neighborhood too. And now it is primarily known as the home of Brooklyn’s Chinatown.

The neighborhood has Greenwood Heights to its north, Borough Park on the east, Bay Ridge to the south, and the Upper New York Bay to the west.

—Norm Goldstein

The Immigrants’ Basilica Another dramatic Sunset Park property is 5424 Fifth Ave., which houses a clothing store called George Michael Suit Outlet.

It’s at the intersection of 55th Street. As corner buildings with turrets go, this one’s especially charming. It’s topped by a pointy roof shaped like a witch’s hat.

According to a Historic Districts Council posting, J.H. Nadigan designed the Queen Anne-style brick building, which was constructed in 1897.

On the south end of Fifth Avenue in Sunset Park, there’s another dazzling sight — the Basilica of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. The granite Romanesque Revival church is located at 526 59th St. The property extends along Fifth Avenue to the corner of 60th Street.

The basilica’s construction began in 1907. It was designed by Swissborn Franz Joseph Untersee, who settled in the Boston area and specialized in ecclesiastic architecture.

• A handsome building at 6752 Fifth Ave. on the corner of 68th Street was sold for $2 million last November, Finance Department records show.

• There’s a “For Sale” sign on a distinctive building on the corner of Ovington Avenue whose address is 6929 Fifth Ave. The asking price for the oldfashioned house with a groundfloor cafe and two recently gut-renovated apartments is $3.2 million, a posting by Ben Bay Realty listing agent Lucy

BAY RIDGE: HOW IT GOT ITS NAME

By Norm Goldstein When Henry Hudson stood on the deck of the “Half Moon” (Halve Moen in Dutch) as he sailed into the harbor more than 400 years ago, he saw Staten Island to his left, and on his right, on top of a ridge on the Brooklyn shore, land that appeared to be in the shape of an owl’s head.

Today, the spacious Owl’s Head Park occupies that land above Shore Road in the neighborhood called Bay Ridge in Brooklyn’s southwest. The bay, of course, is what they called the harbor in those early days. The ridge is from the elevation left by the remnants of the last ice age, millions of years ago.

The water across to Staten Island now has been spanned by the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, named for the Italian Giovanni da Verrazzano who sailed the route in 1524 on his voyage of discovery.

The bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the world when it was completed in 1964.

Bay Ridge was originally part of the town of New Utrecht and was known as Yellow Hoek, named by its Dutch settlers for the yellowish clay soil they found there. The Dutch West India Company had bought the land from the local Nyack Indians. But after an outbreak of yellow fever in the mid-19th century, the name was changed to Bay Ridge for its proximity to New York Bay and its glacial ridge, now Ridge Boulevard.

Henry C. Murphy, a mayor of the City of Brooklyn, a New York State senator and founder and editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, built his estate along that ridge.

The area originally attracted the wealthier residents, but after the 4th Ave. subway line (the R-train) was extended in 1915, it lured many Manhattan workers and it became more of a middleclass neighborhood.

South of 86th St. is the section called Fort Hamilton, named for the military base that occupies the southernmost portion of Bay Ridge. The fort was originally called the Narrows, when it was completed in 1831, but later was renamed in honor of Alexander Hamilton. Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson and Abner Doubleday were at some time stationed at Fort Hamilton.

ABOVE: This is the busy corner at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Bay Ridge Avenue.

Badwan says.

According to Finance Department records, when 6929 Fifth Ave. last changed hands in 2016, the price paid for it was $2.6 million.

• Right next door, another distinctive building is also for sale.

The asking price is $7.5 million for Hall of Fame Billiards at 505 Ovington Ave., a marketing flyer posted by CPEX Real Estate’s Timothy King and Dimitri Venekas says. The building is 19,000 square feet in size and there are about 8,000 square feet of air rights.

Our favorite commercial signage in Bay Ridge says “Oasis Vision Center” and is painted, along with evocative palm trees, on the side of the building at 7411 Fifth Ave. You can see the classic signage if you stand on the corner of Bay Ridge Parkway and turn and face north.

That old Paul Anka song, “Puppy Love,” will come into your head when you get to 91st Street.

As you walk south on the west side of Fifth Avenue, you’ll come face to face with larger-than-life canines on a mural. It’s painted on the side wall of Fifth Avenue Veterinary Hospital, whose address is 9102 Fifth Ave.

SUNSET PARK: HOW IT GOT ITS NAME Dutch settlers acquired portions of Sunset Park from the Canarsee Indians in the 1640s and began farming along the waterfront.

Irish immigrants became the first wave of new settlers to the area in the 1840s when they were fleeing the potato famine. They were joined by Polish, Norwegian and Finnish immigrants in the late 1800s when nearly all of the neighborhood’s residential construction occurred.

Sunset Park was changed forever when Irving T. Bush purchased oceanfront property and opened Bush Terminal, nicknamed “Bush’s Folly” because few thought it could compete with Manhattan’s ports.

Bush’s initial warehouse, single pier, tugboat and old railroad engine paved the way for what became the largely successful 200-acre complex of piers, warehouses, display rooms and factory lofts.

Italian dock workers settled in the area for the ample work from the terminal that expanded in 1902.

The neighborhood eventually declined by the 1930s and into the 1940s though, when the Third Avenue elevated line halted during

the Depression and the Gowanus Expressway split the area’s industrial section from its residential.

After World War II, many older residents moved to the suburbs and their homes were filled with Puerto Rican immigrants eager to work but corruption in the Federal Housing Administration and real-estate and banking industries led to abandonment of homes. In addition, much of the maritime industry began moving to New Jersey at the time.

Bush Terminal was renamed Industry City in the 1960s in a revitalization attempt. Then in 1969, the Lutheran Medical Center purchased an abandoned factory from the city for one dollar and spent more than $70 million renovating the property for a center that helped local nonprofit organizations renovate 500 housing units.

Sunset Park’s rebound was evident in the 1980s and 1990s when more immigrants from Latin America and Asia moved into the neighborhood.

Commercial revival increased when the Brooklyn Army Terminal, which was deactivated in the 1970s, was reopened in 1987 for light industry and bodegas, restaurants and retail stores opened up along the neighborhood blocks.

Former FDNY Chief John Nasta Celebrates 100th Birthday

BY JOHN ALEXANDER JALEXANDER@BROOKLYNEAGLE. COM

O

ne day after the FDNY mourned the loss of its fallen brothers during the 9/11 attacks, members had a reason to celebrate. One of their own, former FDNY Chief John Nasta, celebrated his 100th birthday on Wednesday, Sept. 12 at Sofia Restaurant in Bay Ridge, surrounded by family, friends and members of the FDNY. The smiling Brooklynborn-and-raised centenarian spent 34 years with the FDNY and retired at the rank of battalion chief of FDNY Battalion 40 at Fourth Avenue and 51st Street in Brooklyn. At the time, he was the longest serving fire officer in FDNY history.

Nasta started his career with the FDNY in 1942, but after six months he was called to serve in the Navy during World War II. Because he had some training in the Fire Department, he was put in charge of training thousands of Navy recruits in fire safety while stationed in San Diego, before being

When the war ended he returned home to Brooklyn and began his 34-year career in the FDNY.

Nasta’s beloved wife Alice died in 2005. But with the support of his sister Gloria, nieces, nephews and close friends, he still maintains

an active lifestyle.

“He goes out to the restaurant every day,” close friend Patricia McLaughlin Hite told this paper. “His normal

meal is linguini and clam sauce and he loves salmon.

And he always has a glass of red wine. He also loves his Italian cheesecake, espresso

coffee and once a week he’ll always have his favorite hamburger.”

Additionally, Hite said that Nasta enjoys easy-listening and classical music and reads The New York Times every day. And it appears that longevity runs in the family. His sister Gloria Ward, who was by his side to celebrate his birthday, is 91 years young.

After a rousing rendition of “Happy Birthday,” Nasta received a lifetime achievement recognition award from the FDNY commissioner’s office.

Paul Mannix of the Uniformed Fire Officers Association (UFOA), presented Nasta with a plaque on behalf of the UFOA. “We’re very happy that after the sad and solemn ceremonies yesterday we are able to celebrate a life today, especially a life that has reached 100 years,” Mannix said. “Not only is he a member of the FDNY but he is a member of the greatest generation.”

When asked what he attributed his own longevity to, Nasta looked up, smiled and held up his glass of red wine.

Bishop Provenzano of Episcopal Diocese Dedicates Newly Built St. Stephen-St. Martin Church New Building is Designed For Many Functions And to be a Beacon for The Neighborhood

By Francesca Norsen Tate, Religion Editor INBrooklyn

Joy and fanfare filled the streets of Bedford-Stuyvesant on Saturday and the rain held off until after the procession as the congregation of St. Stephen-St. Martin Episcopal Church in Bedford-Stuyvesant, complete with marching band, officially moved from another congregation hosting them to their own brandnew home.

Varick A.M.E. Zion Church on Quincy Street had hosted the St. Stephen-St. Martin parish for several years while its church was being constructed. The old St. Stephen’s Church had stood at the corner of Patchen and Jefferson avenues for 147 years before it was demolished, in a condition beyond repair. The procession headed from Quincy Street to the new site, about six blocks away. Leading them was the Elite Marching Band of Queens.

The new church, which is the brainchild of architect Shaneekua Henry and her husband Andrew, is described as “a beacon of the message of a resurrected church who meets us at all the intersections of our lives,” according to a brochure.

It is also the first Episcopal church building to be constructed during the bishopric of the Rt. Rev. Lawrence Provenzano, bishop of the Diocese of Long Island.

While other women clergy were pioneers in becoming the first Episcopal clergy and bishops, Henry is the first African-American woman to design a church in the diocese.

The project was developed in partnership with Pericles Notias of Notias Construction of Flushing, N.Y. Henry is a partner in the African-American owned SLM Architecture.

The Rev. Canon Audley Donaldson, rector of St. Stephen-St. Martin Church, said, “It is significant that parishioners decided to rebuild the church in Bedford-Stuyvesant, where it has served as a beacon of hope, and succeeded in rebuilding during a difficult economic climate.

It is a remarkable achievement by the entire parish.” During the consecration service, Donaldson publicly thanked and honored several staff and parishioners.

“This historic service will celebrate this

Their dedication serves as an inspiration to us all as we anticipate a bright future in this exciting and demographically diverse community,” said Provenzano.

The new St. Stephen and St. Martin’s Episcopal Church building, located at 789 Jefferson Ave., has a modern theatrical lighting and sound system to enhance the worship experience. A columbarium and garden and a cry room were built into the structure.

The purpose of a cry room is a safe-space for worshipers who may find themselves weeping during the liturgy. In many churches, tears are an integral part of healing and restoration.

The entire church is “built and consecrated as a multi-functional, multi-cultural, multi-generational sacred space.” Members of the parish are charged to “be in tune with what ails and troubles those on the outside.” The parish’s mission is to minister to the wider community as well.

Coalition of Synagogues Sponsors Annual Intro to Judaism Course

Clergy from around the Episcopal diocese and members of the Lions Club join the procession from Varick A.M.E. Zion Church, which has hosted the congregation during the construction of its new building. The procession headed up Patchen Avenue to Jefferson Avenue, the site of the new church.

Each year, the synagogues around Brooklyn participate in the Introduction to Judaism Course taught by Rabbi Sue Oren.

The 20-session course is designed as an exploration for curious adults to discover Judaism from an adult perspective, to become more confident parents of Jewish children and to explore longstanding questions they haven’t yet asked.

NightShul at East Midwood Jewish Center will incorporate the Introduction to Judaism course into its regular seasonal offerings. A weekly class is offered in two sections from 7:30-9:30 p.m. on Wednesdays.

The course will also be offered on Sun-

days at the Park Slope Jewish Center.

The first session for all participants will take place at East Midwood Jewish Center on Wednesday, Oct. 10. Advance registration is required.

For more information, registration and course fee contact Oren at introclass@earthlink.net or 917-539-1334.

Course co-sponsors include Beloved, Brooklyn Heights Synagogue, B’ShERT (Beth Shalom v’Emeth Reform Temple), Congregation Mount Sinai, East Midwood Jewish Center, Flatbush Jewish Center, Kane Street Synagogue, Kolot Chayeinu/ Voices of Our Lives, Park Slope Jewish Center and Union Temple.

The question is whether the public will, or if it will just displace lots of people and businesses who had no need of the streetcar to begin with.”

Some Sunset Park residents are glad that their neighborhood is being left out.

“I believe it is not because of public response, although that would be nice to believe,” said Tony Giordano, the founder of Sunset Parker Facebook page. “I think it was doomed from the start for two technical reasons - the first the drawbridge over the Gowanus. I think this was the fatal flaw. The second was the narrowing of the commuter vehicle route along Third Avenue [that would have resulted from the streetcar being routed along the strip].

The city hopes to generate $30 billion in economic impact from the project, with around $1.4 billion in value capture (which Wikipedia defines as “public financing that recovers some or all of the value that public infrastructure generates for private landowners”) to help finance its construction.

This Week in History ON SEPT. 12, 1947, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported, “St. Louis, Sept. 12 (U.P.) – The Sporting News, national baseball weekly, today named Jackie Robinson, Negro first baseman of the Brooklyn Dodgers, as its choice for ‘Rookie of the Year.’ Publisher J.G. Taylor Spink, author of the story, Jackie Robinson emphasized that Robinson’s Photos courtesy of Wikimedia Commons selection was based solely on his ability as a hitter, runner, fielder and team man. ‘The sociological experiment that Robinson represented,’ Spink wrote, ‘the trail-blazing that he did, the barriers he broke down, do not enter into the decision … Jackie Robinson has done it all in his first year as a major leaguer. What more could anyone ask?”  ON SEPT. 12, 1953, the Eagle reported, “Newport, R.I., Sept. 12 (U.P.) – Senator John F. Kennedy (D., Mass.), once one of the nation’s most eligible bachelors, takes an heiress as his bride here today. Kennedy, son of former Ambassador to Great Britain Joseph P. Kennedy, will John and Jackie Kennedy on wed Jacqueline Lee Bou- their wedding day.

Photos courtesy of Wikimedia Commons vier on Newport at 11 a.m. in St. Mary’s Catholic Church. Archbishop Richard J. Cushing of Boston will officiate at the wedding, which caps the social season in this fashionable summer resort. Miss Bouvier, a descendant of prominent Washington and New York banking families, met the tousle-haired Kennedy while working as an inquiring reporter for the Washington-Times Herald. She is 24 and he is 36. Twenty-six attendants will participate in the wedding ceremony, which will be followed by a reception at Miss Bouvier’s Hammersmith Farm home, where she was presented to society in August, 1947.” 

ON SEPT. 13, 1953, the Eagle reported, “Brooklynites took with calm joy last night the second straight winning of the National League pennant by the Dodgers. Although eyes and ears were ‘glued’ to television or radio throughout the borough until the ball plopped into Gil Hodges’ mitt at first base for the final putout of the 5-to-2 victory over the Braves at Milwaukee, Dodger fans settled for some whoops and hugs … Meanwhile, Borough President [John] Cashmore, in a wire to Walter F. O’Malley, the Dodger prexy, at Milwaukee Stadium, outlined plans for a gigantic ‘Brooklyn Dodger Day,” Sept. 22, just before the season’s home windup game at Ebbets Field with the Pittsburgh Pirates. There will be a big procession from Ebbets Field to Borough Hall, where the red welcome carpet will be rolled out.”

Illustration from the Brooklyn Eagle, Sept. 14, 1910

ON SEPT. 14, 1901, the Eagle reported, “Buffalo, N.Y., September 14 – President [William] McKinley died at 15 minutes after 2 o’clock this morning … The last hours of the dying President were deeply touching. In his moments of consciousness he realized his approaching end … While the cabinet officers were in the room, the President was unconscious and thought to be dying. He was rallied to consciousness shortly thereafter and almost the first word was a request that his wife be brought to his side … The parting between this devoted pair was an unwitnessed tragedy. The doctors slipped back into the shadows of the darkened room and hid their faces. Even they, used as they are to distressing scenes, could not keep back the tears. They only saw the President’s face brightening with a smile as he fully clasped his wife’s hand.”  ON SEPT. 14, 1948, the Eagle reported, “Portland, Me., Sept. 14 (U.P.) – Representative Margaret Chase Smith’s smashing majority in winning the first full Senate term ever voted a woman Republican was hailed by G.O.P. leader today as the forerunner of a Dewey-Warren landslide in November. The 49-year-old Mrs. Smith, a one-time telephone operator serving her fifth term in Congress, easily defeated Dr. Adrian H. Margaret Chase Smith Scolten, Democrat, of Portland, yesterday in the nation’s first state election of this presidential year … Mrs. Smith received personal congratulations from Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York in a telephone conversation at her Skowhegan home.” 

Eric is our 5-year-old Labrador mix.

Judges matter in your lives.

For the average voter, picking a judge can often be the hardest decision on the ballot as there is often a lack of information available about candidates as compared to races for executives and legislators.

Some local politicians in Brooklyn tried to help community members in East Flatbush get to know some of the judges by hosting a town hall meeting where judicial candidates could

talk about why they became judges and answer audience questions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the role of the judges, how they got elected, how political it can get,â&#x20AC;?said Assemblymember Rodneyse Bichotte. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most people just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the process, so typically when people are out voting for judges theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just voting on a name that is comfortable to them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not how we should be voting,â&#x20AC;? Bichotte continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We should be voting for the best candidates. For the judges who will be the best representation for our community.â&#x20AC;?

Hon. Loren Baily has been a civil court judge in Brooklyn for 20 years and currently serves as an Acting Supreme Court Justice.

1RW DOO MXGJHV UXQQLQJ IRU RŕľśFH DWWHQGHG partially due to religious holidays, but three were in attendance: Hon. Ingrid Joseph, supervising judge of the Kings County Civil Court, and Hon. Loren Baily, who are running for re-election on the Democratic primary ballot on Sept. 13; and Hon. Harriet Thompson, who is running for judge in the Surrogateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Court and will be on the general election ballot in November.

The two judges up for re-election spoke in length about their backgrounds. Justice Joseph, who is also an adjunct professor at the Bor-

ough of Manhattan Community College, called herself the â&#x20AC;&#x153;traveling judgeâ&#x20AC;? because she has worked in nearly every courthouse in Brooklyn.

She also discussed some of the things she is doing in the Brooklyn Civil Court as supervising judge. Âł:HÂśYH PDGH HŕľľRUWV WR PDNH WKH FRXUWV DV user friendly as possible,â&#x20AC;?

Justice Baily emphasized her 20-year career as a judge and also spoke on her previous experience working with Brooklyn Legal Services.

Currently, she serves as acting Supreme Court justice where she primarily hears accident cases, personal injury cases, medical malpractice cases and other kinds of malpractice cases. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me, it is really important that people who are not represented by counsel understand the process and get a full opportunity to speak,â&#x20AC;?

Justice Baily said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It should be a good experience coming into the court. In my courtroom, I make clear that I put my pants on one leg at a time, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a human being and people can talk to me about what they want.â&#x20AC;?

Justice Thompson currently serves as an acting justice of the Supreme Court. She is not running against an opponent in the primary, but will be on the ballot for the general election.

She spent a lot of her time explaining what a Surrogateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Court judge does and why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Queen of Soul,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Aretha Franklin, did not have a will and died a multi-millionaire,â&#x20AC;?

Justice Thompson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Her estate] is going to be determined by somebody who is not her.â&#x20AC;?

Both justices, Baily and Joseph, have been approved for election to the Civil Court by the Brooklyn Bar Association. They are running alongside Sheryl Orwel and Saul Cohen for two countywide civil court bench spots in the Sept.

13 primary. Hon. Harriet Thompson will appear on the ballot on Nov. 6.

Hon. Harriet Thompson is running for Surrogateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Court judge and will be on the ballot during the November general election.

Justice Robin Sheares moderated and took questions from community members.
