AYemeni immigrant was found guiltyWednesday of illegally funneling $21.9million overseas through an ice creamshop that he owned in Park Slope.

Abad Elfgeeh, 50, was convicted oftransmitting money around the worldwithout a license from a dozen bank ac-counts linked to the tiny storefront he op-erated on Fifth Avenue near 11th Street.Prosecutors said his business was used bya Yemeni cleric convicted earlier this yearof a scheme to fund al-Qaeda and thePalestinian militant group Hamas.

Elfgeeh was not charged, however, withany terrorism-related crime.

After less than a day of deliberations,the jury convicted Elfgeeh of conspiring torun an illegal money-transmitting busi-ness, running an illegal money businessand structuring bank deposits to avoid re-porting laws.

Elfgeeh, who could face 15 years inprison, looked stricken but did not moveor speak as the verdict was read.

Borough President Marty Marko-witz has urged that developer BruceRatner downsize his Atlantic Yardsmega-development, a project vigorous-ly supported by Markowitz since 2003.

“We do have to scale down this project,”Markowtiz said during a debate Mondayamong Markowitz and three challengersseeking his job in the November election.

“There is no question, in terms of theproject, in terms of the housing, and interms of the buildings, it is time for all ofus to join together to work cooperativelyand downscale the project and to make itmore reflective of the needs and aspira-tions of those of the environment it’s in.”

His comments came after two ofMarkowitz’s rivals voiced their oppositionto the way in which Ratner’s bid to erectskyscrapers, high-rise housing and a sportsarena was being handled.

Markowitz is the Democratic Partynominee. He did not face a challenge inthe September primary.

The debate, sponsored by the FortGreene Association, was held at LafayetteAvenue Presbyterian Church, a few blocksfrom the Atlantic Yards site.

Green Party candidate Gloria Mattera,said she didn’t approve of threatening

homeowners with the use of eminent do-main for private gain. Reform Party andLibertarian Party candidate Gary Popkincharged collusion between elected officialsand private-party interests in the project.

Attorney Theodore Alatsas, running onthe Republican and Conservative ballots,supports the project.

A wave of applause followed Marko-witz’s call for the downscaling.

The borough president has long been anoutspoken advocate of bringing a pro-sports team to Brooklyn and has not fal-tered in his support for Ratner’s largerproject, would be built east of the intersec-tion of Atlantic and Flatbush avenues.

“I was as surprised as probably every-body in the room; I don’t think I’d everheard those words uttered by him,” saidFort Greene Association Chairman PhillipKellogg following Markowitz’s com-ments. “I’m not sure how much credibilityit has at this point in the process.

“I’d be very curious to know whatspecifics he has in mind, if he’s going tofollow through, and what demands he’sgoing to make as borough president at thispoint in the process,” Kellogg said.

Markowtiz declined to elaborate on hisstatement when asked to do so by The Brook-lyn Papers immediately after the debate.

Over the next few weeks,the city Department of Parksand Recreation will decidewho gets to operate Brook-lyn’s favorite rickety ride —the Coney Island Cycloneroller coaster.

But while the Cyclone is obvi-ously an icon of Coney Island, itmay soon become a remnant of itspast.

Joseph Sitt, owner of Thor Eq-uities, the development companythat operates the Gallery at FultonMall in Downtown Brooklyn andowns over 12 acres of seasideproperty in the faded amusementmecca, has visions of a glitzyboardwalk entertainment strip thatlooks more Vegas than Astroland.

In digital renderings sent to TheBrooklyn Papers this week, aNike-sponsored climbing walltakes up one region of a sweepingindoor amusement zone. A fiber-glass elephant gleams upon a dou-ble-tiered carousel.

The House of Blues playsground-floor anchor to anotherglassy, indoor-entertainment zone,much like the national chain doesat its boardwalk location on theTwo artist renderings of an indoor mall envisioned by developer Joseph Sitt, of Thor Equities, for constuction along the

Council signs offon BID for DUMBOThe Brooklyn Papers

The City Council on Sept. 15approved a plan to create a businessimprovement district in the rapidlyrising DUMBO neighborhood.

Councilman David Yassky sponsoredthe DUMBO BID, which is roughlybounded by the East River to the north,York Street to the south, Gold, Plymouthand Bridge streets to the east and Old Ful-ton Street to the west.

A BID is funded by a special assess-ment to property owners and providessupplemental services like sanitation, side-walk plantings, flags, logos and plaques,security detail, information boards, light-ing improvements, public art and sidewalk

repair.The budget for the DUMBO BID’s first

year of operation is $400,000, according tothe agreement.

“While the burgeoning neighborhoodof DUMBO has developed quickly inmany ways, its level of services still re-flect its history as a partially abandonedmanufacturing district,” said Yassky at thehearing.

“A BID is needed to help establish anatmosphere and services that more closelyfit the area as it is today,” he said.

Yassky also said it would help to ad-dress security, sanitation and maintenanceproblems that the entire community faces.The BID had already been adopted by a

majority of property owners in the neigh-borhood and by Community Board 2. Itnow awaits the mayor’s signature.

“I think York Street was removed, and Iwant to know why,” said CouncilwomanLetitia James, whose district begins atBridge Street and moves east from thereto include a commercial district that facesthe Farragut Houses public housing com-plex.

“The DUMBO BID covers part of mydistrict, the Bridge Street residents as wellas the Farragut residents,” she said.

“I understand the Bridge Street residentsare covered and I’m wondering very much ifthe Farragut residents are not included. Theyshould be,” she said. — Jess Wisloski

Girlfriend charged inSunset Park murderBy Lilo H. StaintonThe Brooklyn Papers

Police arrested twoBrooklyn men and afemale accomplice forallegedly robbing andkilling a New Jersey man,whose lifeless body wasdiscovered face-up in aSunset Park lot.

Yolanda Camacho, 40, al-legedly told police she wantedthe two Brooklyn men “torough him up, not kill” EarlWeber Jr. Weber, 63, and Ca-macho, who police said has acriminal record dating to1989, lived together as a cou-ple in southern New Jersey’srural Cumberland County. Po-lice there say the couple metat a mental hospital.

New York City police dis-covered Weber’s body behinda truck in a parking lot onFirst Avenue, between 42ndand 43rd streets, at 8:15 am onSept. 16. Paramedics werecalled to the scene and pro-nounced him dead five min-utes later.

The victim had no identifi-cation; police say they laterfound Weber’s wallet in thepocket of one of the male sus-pects.

A witness told police hefirst spotted Weber at 7:15 am,but thought he was a sleepingvagrant. The man called po-lice at 8:07 am when the own-er of the truck arrived.

Police caught up with thethree suspects on Sept. 20. Ca-macho and her alleged accom-plice, John DeJesus, 35, ofBensonhurst, were arraignedthat day and held without bailon murder and robberycharges, according to the dis-trict attorney’s office.

The third man, Luis Acosta,35, of Sunset Park, wascharged with possessingstolen property, tamperingwith evidence and hinderingprosecution. His bail was set

at $150,000, with a $100,000deposit required for his re-lease.

Michael V. Cibella, a formerBrooklyn prosecutor who isrepresenting Camacho, did notreturn calls seeking commenton her case by press time. At-torneys for the other two sus-pects could not be located. Allthree were due back in courton Sept. 23.

Camacho’s first criminal ar-rest, on assault and robberycharges in 1989, resulted in a

jail sentence of up to nineyears, according to the districtattorney. Since then she hasbeen indicted on nine other oc-casions on charges that rangefrom drug possession to loiter-ing as a prostitute.

After one conviction, Ca-macho was sentenced to amental institution, where shemet Weber, according to policeaccounts.

It is not clear when this hap-pened, where the institutionwas, or if Weber was a patient

or on staff.New Jersey police arrested

Camacho in April after shegave a false name during atraffic stop — the car she wasdriving belonged to Weber.When police contacted him athome, he did not know the ve-hicle had been moved from hisdriveway.

Weber refused to presscharges and, according to pub-lic records, was himself indict-ed two weeks later for resist-ing arrest.

Rats invade Ridgefrom waterfrontBy Ariella CohenThe Brooklyn Papers

The rats are moving eastin Bay Ridge.

Repair of the seawall thatruns along Shore Parkway haslet loose a flurry of verminand left Shore Road residentsto contend with a migration ofthe fur-footed pests.

In a typewritten letter post-ed on a window near the mail-boxes at the Shore Road

House Cooperative, at 7119Shore Road, an anonymousresident warned neighbors:“The work being done on theseawall has caused the parkacross the street to be floodedwith displaced rats. Sooner orlater, they will come into ourbuilding.

“People up the block arecomplaining that they see[rats] all over,” the letter readsbefore ending in a command-ment that neighbors use the

city’s 311 hotline and “de-mand they rectify the problemimmediately before it getscompletely out of control.”

After a complaint fromCommunity Board 10, the cityDepartment of Health andMental Hygiene placed ratpoison at 27 locations alongShore Parkway.

The poison was laid Sept.16, three days before the letterwas posted at 7119 ShoreRoad. If trouble persists, “fol-low-up baiting may also beplanned,” said Eric Riley, aspokesman for the Health De-partment.

Pest-killing doses of adeadly anticoagulant was alsolast week put down rat holesin Cadman Plaza Park nearBorough Hall in DowntownBrooklyn. Signs posted therewarn to watch children at playand keep dogs on leash.

If rat poison is swallowed,call a poison control centerimmediately, the signs warn.

In Fiscal Year 2005, the cityfielded 31,600 rat-relatedcomplaints, a 40 percent in-crease from the previous year.While the increase in pest-busting complaints is partiallyattributed to the rise of the 311hotline, the year’s record-breaking number of construc-tion projects also factors intothe vermin’s visibility.

The victim had no identifi-cation; police say they laterfound Weber’s wallet in thepocket of one of the male sus-pects.

A witness told police hefirst spotted Weber at 7:15 am,but thought he was a sleeping

vagrant. The man called policeat 8:07 am when the owner ofthe truck arrived.

Police caught up with thethree suspects on Sept. 20. Ca-macho and her alleged accom-plice, John DeJesus, 35, ofBensonhurst, were arraignedthat day and held without bailon murder and robberycharges, according to the dis-trict attorney’s office.

The third man, Luis Acosta,35, of Sunset Park, wascharged with possessing stolenproperty, tampering with evi-dence and hindering prosecu-tion. His bail was set at$150,000, with a $100,000 de-posit required for his release.

Michael V. Cibella, a former

Brooklyn prosecutor who isrepresenting Camacho, did notreturn calls seeking commenton her case by press time. At-torneys for the other two sus-pects could not be located. Allthree were due back in courton Sept. 23.

Camacho’s first criminal ar-rest, on assault and robberycharges in 1989, resulted in ajail sentence of up to nineyears, according to the districtattorney.

Since then she has been in-dicted on nine other occasionson charges that range fromdrug possession to loitering asa prostitute.

After one conviction, Ca-macho was sentenced to a

mental institution, where shemet Weber, according to policeaccounts.

It is not clear when this hap-pened, where the institutionwas, or if Weber was a patientor on staff.

New Jersey police arrestedCamacho in April after shegave a false name during atraffic stop — the car she wasdriving belonged to Weber.When police contacted him athome, he did not know the ve-hicle had been moved from hisdriveway.

Weber refused to presscharges and, according to pub-lic records, was himself indict-ed two weeks later for resist-ing arrest.

Council OKs DUMBO BIDThe Brooklyn Papers

The City Council on Sept. 15 approved aplan to create a business improvement district inthe rapidly rising DUMBO neighborhood.

Councilman David Yassky sponsored theDUMBO BID, which is roughly bounded bythe East River to the north, York Street to thesouth, Gold, Plymouth, and Bridge streets to theeast and Old Fulton Street to the west.

A BID is funded by a special assessment toproperty owners and provides supplementalservices like sanitation, sidewalk plantings,

flags, logos and plaques, security detail, infor-mation boards, lighting improvements, publicart and sidewalk repair.

The budget for the DUMBO BID’s first year ofoperation is $400,000, according to the agreement.

“While the burgeoning neighborhood ofDUMBO has developed quickly in many ways,its level of services still reflect its history as apartially abandoned manufacturing district,”said Yassky at the hearing.

“A BID is needed to help establish an atmos-phere and services that more closely fit the areaas it is today,” he said. — Jess Wisloski

Rats invade Ridgefrom waterfrontThe Brooklyn Papers

The rats are moving eastin Bay Ridge.

Repair of the seawall thatruns along Shore Parkway has

let loose a flurry of verminand left Shore Road residentsto contend with a migration ofthe fur-footed pests.

In a typewritten letter post-ed on a window near the mail-boxes at the Shore RoadHouse Cooperative, at 7119Shore Road, an anonymousresident warned neighbors:“The work being done on theseawall has caused the parkacross the street to be floodedwith displaced rats. Sooner orlater, they will come into ourbuilding.

“People up the block arecomplaining that they see[rats] all over,” the letter readsbefore ending in a command-ment that neighbors use thecity’s 311 hotline and “de-mand they rectify the problemimmediately before it getscompletely out of control.”

After a complaint fromCommunity Board 10, the cityDepartment of Health andMental Hygiene placed ratpoison at 27 locations alongShore Parkway.

The poison was laid Sept. 16,three days before the letter wasposted at 7119 Shore Road. Iftrouble persists, “follow-up bait-ing may also be planned,” saidEric Riley, a spokesman for theHealth Department.

Pest-killing doses of adeadly anticoagulant was alsolast week put down rat holesin Cadman Plaza Park nearBorough Hall in DowntownBrooklyn. Signs posted therewarn to watch children at playand keep dogs on leash.

If rat poison is swallowed,call a poison control centerimmediately, the signs warn.

In Fiscal Year 2005, the cityfielded 31,600 rat-relatedcomplaints, a 40 percent in-crease from the previous year.While the increase in pest-busting complaints is partiallyattributed to the rise of the 311hotline, the year’s record-breaking number of construc-tion projects also factors intothe vermin’s visibility.

A Red Hook cruise ship terminal willnot be completed for months, but on Satur-day morning, a transatlantic luxury linerwill dock, or at least make a pit stop, atPier 12 off Pioneer Street.

The P & O cruise line’s Oriana, a Britishluxury liner that includes 10 bars, fourrestaurants, three outdoor pools and a casi-no, will be arriving from London and es-corted by fireboats. It is expected at thepier between 7 am and 7:30 am on Sept.24.

An invitation sent out this week by thecity’s Economic Development Corporationencouraged attendees to arrive at themakeshift terminal at 8 am for welcomingremarks by Mayor Michael Bloombergand Borough President Marty Markowitz.

Saturday’s surprise docking is likely in-tended to provide a public relations boostto the mayor’s efforts to build a $45 mil-lion cruise ship terminal at Pier 12, whichis expected to host Carnival and Norwe-gian cruise line ships starting this April.The mayor, who faces former Bronx Bor-ough President Fernando Ferrer in Novem-ber’s general election, has been pushing tophase out shipping on the Red Hook piersand replace it with the cruise industry andother commercial ventures.

The new terminal, which will largelyhandle the overflow and relocation ofcruise ships while a $150 million Manhat-tan berth is being repaired and renovated,is part of an exclusive agreement betweenthe city and the two cruise lines.

Both Norwegian and Carnival havepromised to use New York City ports ex-

Cruise ship to dock inRed Hook Saturday

clusively and pay raised tariff fees through2017 that would supply $200 million tothe city, in exchange for the 10-year WestSide renovation project in Manhattan. Lastyear, the city lost Royal Caribbean to aport just across the harbor from the RedHook piers, in Bayonne, N.J.

Elected officials, the city, and businessgroups have promoted the Red Hook dealtouting the figure of 600 new jobs beingbrought to Brooklyn by the cruise indus-try.

The number was obtained using theQueen Mary II cruise liner, at 1,132 feetthe largest in the world, as a model for thesize of ship and consequent crew, thatwould be docking at Pier 12.

Passengers aboard the 853-foot Orianawill not necessarily be disembarking. TheEDC would not answer questions aboutthe ship’s arrival.

The arrival of the industry brings withit the fear of existing maritime businessesbeing supplanted by the luxury liners.

Earlier this year, the city forced Ameri-can Stevedoring Inc. (ASI), a cargo ship-ping company, off Pier 11, which is beingeyed as a potential accessway to the newterminal. But this summer, the same pierwas advertised as vacant, and availablefor interested parties.

With ASI consolidated onto Piers 8-10,the company has said any less would ren-der its Brooklyn operations useless. Butthe EDC stated at the October hearing itshopes down the line to “morph” Piers 10and 11, into use exclusively for cruiseships.

Whether that would happen, said EDCVice President Kate Ascher to councilmembers, depends on the success of thecruise industry at Pier 12.

A British liner will mark the first cruise docking in Red Hook Saturday, but by Aprilthe city expects Carnival ship like this to dock regularly at Pier 12.

the developer, now that the At-lantic Yards have been sold,now it’s the time to review anddownscale this project,” saidMarkowitz in a vestibule be-hind the church.

“That’s it, that doesn’t meanthe arena — all that has to stay,of course,” he said. “But todownscale it in a way that willbe a little less dense and that willwork better for the community.”

Asked if he would specifywhat should be scaled back,Markowitz said, “No, absolute-ly not.”

“What I’m saying is, down-scale means, less than what isproposed right now,” he said.

He declined to say whetherthat applied to the number ofbuildings, number of apart-ments or to the height and den-sity of the skyscrapers andhigh-rises Ratner has proposed.

Pushed further, the boroughpresident said of Ratner’s plan:“Whatever he has proposed,I’m calling for less than that.That alone has to be part of theenvironmental negotiations, butyou heard me tonight say

‘downscale,’ right out front,you heard me say downscale.”

Said Kellogg, “I don’t thinkanybody should be allowed tothrow out a comment like thatat this stage in the game andhave it go unchallenged. With-out specifics it has the poten-tial to be window dressing.”

Still, the decision to comeout against the hulking size ofthe project was seen by someaudience members as a hope-ful attempt to address thecommunity’s concerns.

The Committee of BrooklynNeighborhoods (CBN), whichencompasses roughly 24 com-munity organizations includingthe Fort Greene Association,Boerum Hill Association, At-lantic Avenue Betterment Asso-ciation, Fifth Avenue Commit-tee, New York PreservationAlliance, and a local chapter ofthe Sierra’s Club, began as anattempt by Markowitz to unifygroups of longstanding neigh-borhood organizations in thestate-level review of the project.

Their co-chair, Paul Palaz-zo, said that while the umbrel-la group had “no comment re-garding the pro or cons of the

project,” it was helpful to haveMarkowitz take in the con-cerns his group has been air-ing since its first unofficialmeeting, almost one year agoat Borough Hall.

“We are encouraged by theborough president’s remark tothe effect that he does under-stand the project does havesome significant environmentalimpacts for the surroundingneighborhoods,” Palazzo said.

“We urge the borough pres-ident to make the process astransparent as possible. One ofthe ways he can do that is byengaging the CBN fully in itsparticipation with the Brook-lyn Borough Board.

“We haven’t heard the exactwords form his mouth yet,which we would appreciate,” hesaid. “The neighborhoods thatform the organization — whichhe brought together — wouldappreciate a formal acknowl-edgement and endorsement.”

Councilwoman Letitia James,an opponent of the project inwhose district it is planned,said she was glad Markowitzwas finally speaking for hercommunity.

“I’m happy that he recog-nizes that this project is totallyout of scale with this brown-stone community,” she said.

The threejoined BCAT Moderator Toni Williamsto discuss New York City’s level ofpreparedness in the case of an emergency.“This edition of Reporter Roundtable isanother example of how BCAT program-ming provides viewers with informationthat can enrich and, in this case, savetheir lives,“ said BCAT ExecutiveProducer Greg Sutton.

While NYC will probably never see thelikes of a category 5 hurricane, because ofthe densely-populated and highly-devel-opment coastal areas, a category 1 hurri-cane with sustained winds of between 74and 95 miles per hour could cause severedamage. These powerful winds can top-ple trees, flatten homes, and turn looseobjects in deadly projectiles. In addition,storm surge – huge domes of seawaterpushed forward by the oncoming storm –is among the hurricane’s most hazardousfeatures. In a major hurricane, stormsurge could reach more than 30 feet insome parts of New York City, leavingresidents of Coney Island, BrightonBeach, and Sheepshead Bay most vulnerable.

“We make plans in New York Citybased on all kinds of hazards,” notedOEM’s Michael Lee. “In this country,after September 11, a lot of focus mayhave turned towards security and terror-ism-related issues, but that doesn’t meanthat the natural hazards we face wentaway. New York City has continued towork with partner agencies on such natu-ral hazards – including snow storms andblizzards; heat waves; and coastalstorms.”

Most notably, New York City’s OEMhas developed an emergency prepared-ness program called Ready New York.The agency offers several free publica-

tions to assist New Yorkers prepare foremergencies of all kinds.

In addition, they have been taking partin National Preparedness Month, anationwide effort co-sponsored by theU.S. Department of Homeland Securityand the American Red Cross to encour-age Americans to take simple steps toprepare for emergencies in their homes,businesses, and schools.

OEM, in partnership with manycorporate and community partners, willhost a number of events throughoutSeptember to promote the Ready NewYork preparedness message around thecity to encourage New Yorkers to developa disaster plan, assemble an emergencysupply kit, put together a Go Bag, andlearn more about local hazards.

“It’s no longer good enough for peopleto say they know they should beprepared, but aren’t,” remarked ScottGraham of the American Red Cross.Graham had just returned from Alabama,where he was stationed from August 30to September 6, and was responsible foroverseeing the response of residentAlabama chapters and all of the volun-teers coming from across the country.“The most important thing you shouldhave is a plan.”

That plan should outline what yourhousehold would do in case of an emer-gency, natural or otherwise. Wherewould you go? How will you find eachother? Who will you contact?

Should you need to evacuate, the cityrecommends staying with friends orfamily who live outside the evacuationzones, if possible. For those who have noalternative shelter, the city has identifiedevacuation shelters throughout the fiveboroughs. Evacuees would first need toreport to evacuation reception centers,easily reached by car or public transporta-tion. Once at the reception center, theywill be assigned to an evacuation shelterand transported there by bus or van.

The next step is to put together a“Go Bag” for each member of your

household: a collection of items you mayneed in the event of an evacuation, pre-packed in a backpack or small suitcasewith wheels. Ideally, this should includecopies of your important documents –insurance cards, birth certificates, deeds,photos IDs, etc. – packed in a waterproofbag or container; an extra set of car andhouse keys; cash; bottled water and non-perishable food; a battery-operated orwind-up radio and flashlight; medicationfor at least one week and a list of yourmedications; a first aid kid; comfortableshoes; light-weight rain gear; a mylarblanket; child care supplies; and, ofcourse, a copy of your emergency plan.(The American Red Cross sells full-out-fitted kits.)

Those who live in safer areas areencouraged to keep an emergency supplykit on-hand at home.

Commissioner Bruno is encouraged bya recent Marist poll that indicated that50% of New Yorkers currently have aplan, a Go Bag, or supplies at home. Hisgoal is now to reach the other 50%.

Breast cancer walk setOct 16 in Prospect ParkBy Ariella CohenThe Brooklyn Papers

“Everyone has someonein their heart who they arewalking for,” said Eye-witness News anchor-woman Diana Williams,this year’s host of theAmerican Cancer Society“Making Strides AgainstBreast Cancer” kickoffbreakfast at the BrooklynMarriott.

The 2.2-mile walk in Pros-pect Park on Oct. 16 is part of anationwide effort to raise fundsand awareness. The event startsat 9 am at Prospect Park Westand Ninth Street.

“This year, I’m walking forPeter,” said Williams, refer-ring to ABC news anchor Pe-ter Jennings, who died of lungcancer Aug. 7.

“I don’t know if all canceris related,” Williams, who hasbeen involved with the Man-hattan walk for 10 years, toldThe Brooklyn Papers, “but Ihave way too many friendswho have breast cancer or an-other form of cancer.”

When asked how manywere affected by, related to orknew someone with breast can-cer, nearly every one of theroughly 800 men and womenat the breakfast event stood up.

In existence since 1993,Making Strides has not onlyraised breast cancer awareness,but also more than $130 millioncollected by two million walk-ers nationwide. Last year alone,400,000 walkers raised $32 mil-lion, out of which $4 millionwas contributed by New York-ers. More than $500,000 wasraised in Brooklyn, where10,000 walkers strolled throughProspect Park last October.

This year, the walk inProspect Park is expected toraise $550,000, said KeithHudson, a spokesman for theEastern Division of the Amer-ican Cancer society.

“The American Cancer So-ciety fights to eliminate breastcancer in four ways — re-search, education, advocacyand patient services,” Hudsontold The Papers.

According to American

Cancer Society statistics,breast cancer will affect morethan 200,000 individuals thisyear and cause 40,000 deaths.But thanks to advances inmedicine, the survival rate hasclimbed to 90 percent.

“More than 90 percent ofbreast cancer patients sur-vive,” said Sally Cooper, theAmerican Cancer Society’sBrooklyn regional vice presi-dent. “And we’re working forit to be what it’s supposed tobe — 100 percent.”

The biggest problem wom-en face, said Cooper, is lack ofhealth insurance, which, inturn, leads to lack of primarycare, lack of mammogramsand cancers found too late.

“In Brooklyn, one out offour adults lacks health insur-ance,” said Cooper.

The solution, Cooper pro-

posed, is the National Breastand Cervical Cancer Early De-tection Program, which offersfree mammograms and cervicalcheckups for uninsured women.

The problem, she said, isthat the program is severelyunder-funded.

In addition to breast cancersurvivors, among the speakers atthe kickoff breakfast weredonors and local representativesfrom flagship sponsors, such asthe Independence CommunityFoundation, Curves, the U.S.Postal Service, Pathmark, theUnited Federation of Teachers,Coney Island Hospital, Long Is-land College Hospital and theNew York City Health and Hos-pitals Corporation.

“We celebrate life today,”said Jamie Markowitz, wife ofBorough President MartyMarkowitz, and a Making

Strides Against Breast CancerHonorary Pacesetter (be-stowed upon walkers whohave raised $2,500 or more).Markowitz lost her mother tobreast cancer last year.

A representative of theUnited Federation of Teachersand a cancer patient, JoAnneBerry, said: “My doctor toldme I had ‘bad luck’ cancer.But she was so wrong. I have‘good luck’ cancer.

“Perhaps this cancer wassent to me so that I can helpothers,” said Berry, an activesupporter and participant ofMaking Strides.

“Look for the lady in the pinksuede hat,” she said, announcingher plan to participate in theProspect Park walk.

Why walk along this Sunday’s Atlantic Anticstreet fair when you can crawl?

The “Sixpoint Craft Ales Atlantic Antic Pubcrawl”will take place during the annual Atlantic Avenue fes-tival on Sept. 25, from noon until 6 pm betweenHicks Street and Third Avenue. The new Red Hookbrewery produced its first keg last February.

The beer crawl will be anchored by the BrazenHead bar (south side between Court Street andBoerum Place), which will exclusively pour threeSixpoint beers.

Unlike a documentary about an historical eventdusty with age, 36-year-old Bushwick filmmakerGarrett Scott’s “Operation: Dreamland” was shot asthe events unfolded.

Along with co-director Ian Olds, Scott trekked toIraq in August 2003 to film American soldiers’ ex-periences during the occupation of Fallujah.

Scott and Olds ate, drank and slept with a platoonfor six weeks.

They bunked at a bungalow in the formerBaathist resort called “Dreamland” with a group ofU.S. Army airborne infantrymen, documenting theyoung men’s full range of emotions: their heroicacts, boredom, doubt, vanity and camaraderie.

Traveling without an interpreter, the filmmakersdidn’t even know what Arabic-speaking Iraqis weresaying into their camera until they returned to theUnited States to have the footage translated for subti-tles, Scott told GO Brooklyn in an interview Tuesday.

And those subtitles chillingly predict the carnageto come.

The directors went on night missions, when thesoldiers broke into and searched Iraqi homes whilethe rounded-up family members huddled together inthe darkness. The footage, which Scott said wasshot through a night-vision telescope taped to a con-sumer-grade camera, colors the events with an espe-cially eerie, surreal glow.

“It was really disturbing going in there,” recalledScott, who said he and Olds were concerned aboutthe ethics of filming the families. “We knew wewere adding to these people’s humiliation — quiteclearly by sticking a camera in their faces. The lieu-tenant would say, ‘Go easy with the camera, theyhave enough to deal with,’ and I’d say, ‘Alright.’”

Still, Scott knew he had to use the footage in orderto give a complete picture of the soldiers’experience.

“I hoped we could use it without making it looklike a ‘Cops’ episode,” he said.

“Operation: Dreamland” is not a series of dry, talk-ing head interviews. Scott and Olds’ footage puts theviewer in the thick of the action, conveying the sol-diers’ fear and trepidation when bullets and shells areexploding; the tears over a fellow soldier’s burningbody; and the laughter among friends. The filmmak-ers’balanced, human portrait of these soldiers leavesit up to the viewer to decide whether their sacrificescould ever produce peace — or just more bloodshed.

Filmmakers Scott and Olds will be available forQ&As at 5:30 pm and 7:30 pm, on Saturday,Sept. 24, and at 3:30 pm and 5:30 pm, on Sept.25 at Cinema Village, 22 E. 12th St. in Manhat-tan. For admission prices and additional screen-ing times, call Cinema Village at (212) 924-3363.

By Karen Butler for The Brooklyn Papers

R eturning to the neighborhood where hegrew up to make “The Squid and theWhale,” his most personal movie to

date, Park Slope native Noah Baumbachsays he not only relived powerful childhoodemotions, but also uncovered valuable cluesregarding the direction he wants to take hiswork.

“In a way, ‘The Squid and the Whale’feels like my first film,” the 35-year-oldfilmmaker told GO Brooklyn. “It technical-ly is my third film, but it feels like the firstone. From the script stage, all the way tomaking the movie, I kind of feel like I dis-covered the kind of writer-director that I amand want to be.”

Best-known for his 1997 relationshipcomedy, “Mr. Jealousy,” featuring Annabel-la Sciorra and Eric Stoltz, the MidwoodHigh School and Vassar graduate made hisdebut with the 1995 ensemble comedy“Kicking and Screaming” and most recentlyco-wrote the script for last year’s quirky seaadventure, “The Life Aquatic with SteveZissou,” with that movie’s director, Wes An-derson.

Starring Laura Linney, Jeff Daniels,William Baldwin and Anna Paquin, Baum-bach’s latest film is based on his own expe-riences as one of two brothers caught in thethroes of their parents’ divorce in 1986 ParkSlope. A hit at this year’s Sundance FilmFestival, the film garnered screenwritingand directing awards for its young auteur.

Just as his first film, “Kicking andScreaming,” was included in the New YorkFilm Festival in 1995, “The Squid and theWhale” will be screened as part of thisyear’s festival on Sept. 26 and Sept. 28. Thefilm opens in New York City on Oct. 5.

“It was great to see the film get laughsand then the audience get quiet at certainpoints,” Baumbach said of watching “TheSquid and the Whale” with various festivalcrowds. “It also played, I thought, similarlyeach screening, which was nice. Positively,but, also, it wasn’t like there were strangelaughs in places I didn’t expect them.”

The filmmaker went on to credit his com-fort level with the material for allowing himto create a funny, poignant fiction that ringstrue with audiences.

“I think I was able very much to writefrom a very personal place without a filter,”noted the son of film critics Georgia Brownand Jonathan Baumbach. “Without worryingabout what people would think — like, ‘Isthis commercial?’ — stuff that screenwriterscan distract themselves with. Because I wasdrawing on very personal experience, I was

able to write more clearly and more effec-tively than I have before. The script is veryfictionalized, as well, but I felt like [that at]

every stage, there is what you have in yourhead and what ends up on the screen and, forme, this is the closest the two have everbeen.”

Baumbach said that in an effort to keepthings authentic while shooting the film, hedressed Daniels in his father’s clothes anddecorated the sets withsome of his mother’s booksand furniture.

“It’s not like I wanted itto be like: ‘That’s my dad-dy! That’s my mommy!’”the filmmaker assured witha laugh. “By having anemotional connection tothese things, it just put memore into the head space ofthe material and I think itjust fuels me in a way.”

Although the movie isoften hilarious, it does fo-cus on one of the mostpainful trials in Baum-bach’s life, not surprisinglymaking it one of the mostemotional writing process-es the filmmaker has everexperienced.

“I found myself gettingangry or anxious writingcertain scenes,” he confid-ed. “I had a much more visceral response. Ithink by the time it gets cast and you’reshooting it [that goes away]. Occasionally, Iwould have like a Proustian jolt to my child-hood, like, ‘God, this really does feel like myliving room.’

“We were shooting in Park Slope, where Igrew up, but at that point, for me, once you’re

directing the film you have so many things onyour mind, you don’t really have time to gettoo emotional about anything. I think in theediting stage, certain scenes as you’re puttingthem together, I kind of connected back to themindset of when I was writing.

“It’s a loaded thing. It’s very much in-spired by my childhood, soI was obviously gettingstuff out. I’d lived with thisstory for 20 years before Istarted writing it,” he con-tinued. “So, to get it downon paper and actuallymake it into a movie thatworks at all was a big deal,but then at the same time, Ithink I also was discover-ing that even if this moviewas about cops or sciencefiction, I was also just dis-covering on even a techni-cal and visceral level thekind of filmmaker that I al-ways knew I could be, butI don’t think I quite evertapped into.”

Baumbach’s still notquite sure how “The Squidand the Whale” fits into thehistory of films made andset in Brooklyn.

“For me, it was more about telling this sto-ry and the Brooklyn that I knew, so it wasn’tlike I was thinking, ‘Boy, I’m going to showBrooklyn in a way no one’s seen before,’” hesaid. “But, I was pleased when I heard peo-ple tell me they think it’s a great Brooklynmovie. So, it’s nice to know I backed intothat somehow.”

BROOKLYN

Bites NeighborhoodDining Guide

By Tina Barryfor The Brooklyn Papers

Entering the Japanese-French fusionrestaurant Dish, in Bay Ridge, Iwas struck by two things: the

beauty of the place and the intensity ofthe music.

Visually, the wide corridor of thespace, lined with a row of tables and il-luminated with serene, recessed light-ing, invites diners to relax. It’s a settingin which to be left alone with one’squiet thoughts while sipping sake andconsume sushi, or gather with friendsand chat com-panionably.

However all ofthat is renderedimpossible whenmusic is pipedinto the room at adeafening vol-ume. I’ve com-plained about thelevel of sound ineateries in this column before, and I’maware that my opinion may sound like arant. But, I have to ask Michael Izzo andHenry Arena, the owners of these high-decibel digs: can’t a restaurant just be arestaurant? Do you think diners will runscreaming from your place, complainingthat the atmosphere isn’t hip enough, ifthe music serves as background ambi-ence and the food takes center stage?

Behind Dish is a garden that, had Ibeen wearing earplugs, could be de-scribed as tranquil. Its two rows of can-dlelit tables face a cascading wall of wa-ter that ends in an elegant, rectangularpool. But again, a throbbing instrumentalpiped from speakers over the waterfall re-peated itself in a nightmarish loop. (The

waiter was accommodating when I askedthat the sound be turned down.)

If you want to avoid an aneurysm,don’t pair the music with the lava lamp-green apple martini — a toxic mix ofapple vodka, apple schnapps and melonliqueur that smells like gasoline andtastes like runoff from Chernobyl. A del-icately flavored, golden-colored mangomartini is a better choice. Before divinginto the Bible-weight menu, we tradedthe apple concoction for an equally luridbut easier to swallow “Saketini.” Madewith sake and gin, it was another drinkthat glowed — this time with an un-

earthly sapphirehaze.

Our waiterCalvin, who hasbeen with therestaurant since itsopening in Decem-ber, is a fan of chefJack Woo and hisJapanese fusioncooking. (Before

Dish, Woo worked for the Sushi Den inColorado and Migita Sushi in BrooklynHeights.) He steered us away from stan-dard sushi, sashimi and tempura —“Tempura is tempura where ever youhave it,” said Calvin — to more esotericdishes that showcased the chef’s experi-mental nature.

Of the four appetizers he suggested,three were enjoyable (if excessively rich,a flaw that cropped up several times dur-ing dinner); one didn’t work at all.

A pile of crunchy, tiny fried shrimpwere mixed with spicy, peppery mayon-naise. They made great eating if youkept your intake down to five or six;more than that would be like spooningup an entire souffle.

Another dish I appreciated for its saltysweetness was the retro throwback ofhuge sea scallops wrapped in bacon andserved on skewers — a luau favorite cir-ca 1965. It’s a clever idea: the baconcrisps while it’s on the grill and helpsprotect the fish from drying out over theheat. Like the shrimp, it’s not a dishyou’d want if you craved somethinglight and clean-tasting.

And Japanese? No. I wouldn’t use the word “crazy” to

describe my reaction to the “Crazy Avo-cado,” but I liked it well enough. Tinybeads of salty red caviar saved little rollsof raw, velvety salmon, covered increamy slices of ripe avocado, from be-ing cloying.

The one blooper: Buttery slices ofyellowtail in a delicate soy marinadescattered with rings of hot jalapeno pep-pers; the heat obscured the delicatesweetness of the fish. Without the fierydistraction, the dish was perfection.

We didn’t leave behind a single dropof our miso soup. Miso is as ubiquitousin Japanese restaurants as the iceberg let-tuce salad is to their American counter-parts, so you’d imagine it would be ano-brainer for a kitchen to master. Notso. I’ve tasted countless over-salted, toothick versions and sipped just as manythat were as thin and tasteless as gruel.

Woo’s, with its pronounced, nutty barleyflavor and silken cubes of tofu, was assoothing as a bowl of mother’s chickennoodle soup.

Too bad that winner was followed by aflop. Dish’s rectangles of rib-eye steak,which is a forgiving cut due to its high fatcontent, should have sauteed up nice andtender, but instead this version arrivedstringy and inedibly tough. The red winesauce (there’s the French touch) was re-duced to a mineral rich meatiness — cer-tainly worthy of carefully cooked beef.

We fared better with “chicken yakiudon” an oily, yet appealing, platter ofpan-fried noodles mixed with slices ofmoist chicken breast and a garden-full ofcrisply sauteed peppers and greens.

Woo doesn’t skimp on the dessertround-up: a choice of five ice creams inflavors such as green tea and red bean;chocolate mousse; pineapple cheese-cake; the lychee and passion fruitmousse; and tiramisu.

Someone at another table tried thefried ice cream ball jazzed up with a sideof shooting flames. Blazing fried icecream? There’s something Mel Brookswould appreciate.

Dish reminds me of “The Nanny” ac-tor Fran Drescher. She’s gorgeous tolook at and, and even enjoyable to watchfor short periods — but that voice!

On Wednesday, the Brooklyn Restau-rant Association and the New York Wineand Grape Foundation will present “NewYork Wines & Dines in Brooklyn,” anevening of wine and food-tasting at theSacred Hearts/St. Stephen Catholicschool in Carroll Gardens.

As of this date, eight members of theBrooklyn Restaurant Association, in-cluding DUMBO’s River Cafe and BayRidge’s Pearl Room and PaneanticoBakery Cafe will be participating.

Great food needs great wine, so An-thony Road Wine Cellars, Bedell Cel-lars and Castello di Borghese, just a fewof the 15 participating New York Statewineries associated with the foundation,will be on hand to offer sips from theirlatest bottles.

Proceeds from the tasting will benefitthe Sacred Hearts/St. Stephen School,which has been in operation in CarrollGardens since 1866. In February, the pre-

kindergarten through eighth grade insti-tution was deemed one of 26 strugglingCatholic schools in the borough thatcould no longer be supported by the

Brooklyn Diocese. Parents of students,church parishioners and concernedneighbors banded together and wrote acreative business plan that persuadedBishop of Brooklyn Nicholas DiMarzioto grant a reprieve. Now the school needscontributions to keep its doors open.

The event is the brainchild of JoeChirico (pictured), owner of MarcoPolo Ristorante on Court Street. Hewouldn’t divulge the dishes his chef,Francesco Insingo, plans on serving thatnight, but Chirico said, “The food andwine will be great. No one will leaveunhappy.

“In Carroll Gardens we all stick to-gether. So when I heard that the schoolneeded money, I knew I had to dosomething to help them.”

Chirico, president of the BrooklynRestaurant Association, convinced sev-eral of the association’s members, andthose of the foundation, to donate their

time and products for the evening. While diners graze on small plates of

international delicacies, they’ll be sere-naded by a string quartet of local musi-cians. Authors Tony DiDio, of the “Re-naissance Guide to Wine & FoodPairing”; Carlo DeVito of “East CoastWineries: A Complete Guide FromMaine to Virginia”; and Keith Young of“Cooking with the Firehouse Chef,”will be on hand to autograph copies oftheir books.

“When you have a wonderful schoollike Sacred Hearts, whose teachers havedone such a great job educating somany of Brooklyn’s students, you justhave to try to help them out,” saidChirico. “I hope we get a huge turnout.”

“New York Wines & Dines inBrooklyn” will be held at SacredHearts/St. Stephen School (135 Sum-mit St. at Hicks Street) on Sept. 28,from 7 pm to 10 pm. Tickets can bereserved for $50 by calling (800) 442-5959 or pay $65 at the door. Formore information, call (718) 625-2267. — Tina Barry

By Paulanne Simmonsfor The Brooklyn Papers

The DUMBO-based Czechoslo-vak-American Marionette The-atre brings the age-old Czech tra-

dition of puppet theater to the GrandArmy Plaza Soldiers and SailorsMemorial Arch this fall with “TheBass Saxophone.”

Based on the short story by JosefSkvorecky, “The Bass Saxophone” isadapted and directed by Vit Horejs, anémigré of Prague who in 1990 found-ed the Czechoslovak-American Mari-onette Theatre (CAMT).

“I grew up playing with a toy pup-pet theater. It was my mother’s; shehad played with it as a child,” Horejstold GO Brooklyn. “Throughout mychildhood, I saw puppet theater.”

“The Bass Saxophone” is just one ofmore than a dozen works written bySkvorecky that deal with the fear anddisdain for music shared by oppressiverulers throughout the world. After theSoviet Army overtook the PragueSpring of 1968, Skvorecky fled toToronto, where he later became a pro-fessor of literature at Toronto Universi-ty. His books include “The Cowards”and “The Miracle Game”; his novel“Tank Battalion” was adapted for VitOlmer’s 1991 film of the same name.

Skvorecky’s “Bass Saxophone” tellsthe story of a group of young jazz en-thusiasts in 1944 German-occupiedCzechoslovakia who risk their lives byplaying what Goebels called “decadent

Judeo-negroid music” (a.k.a. jazz). One of the young men, an aspiring

saxophone player and would-be wom-anizer named Danny, catches a glimpseof a bass saxophone being unloaded fora traveling German dance orchestra infront of a decrepit hotel and is draftedinto carrying the instrument inside. Inthe labyrinthine hotel, he meets abizarre Wehrmacht band of crippledand deformed musicians who ask himto jam with them — blending kitschymusical trash with Danny’s forbiddenswing tunes.

“It’s like he’s in a dream,” saysHorejs. “It’s like a Bruegel or Boschpainting.”

The characters in the play will beportrayed by live actors, eight-inchmarionettes (created by Prague design-er Milos Kasal) and four-foot papier-mâché direct-control musician puppetscreated by Theresa Linnihan. The set is

provided by Roman Hladik and theGrand Army Plaza arch, a venue with asuitability Horejs says he discoveredpurely by accident.

“One of our members, [Linnihan],helped to establish Puppeteer’s Coop-erative and its Puppet Library in oneleg of the arch,” said Horejs. “The oth-er leg of the arch and the spiral stair-case are empty. When I saw the insideof the arch, something clicked. The ho-tel setting was already there. Also thestory is set during a war and the archcommemorates a war victory [of theUnion Army].”

“The Bass Saxophone” begins out-doors, under the arch, and continues inthe arch and up the staircase pasttableaux depicting the atmosphere ofthe time, to the transom where theWehrmacht musicians congregate on acanopy bed that transforms into variousstory locations.

The action is accompanied by livemusic performed by Charles Waters’band; Waters is the musical director.The score includes international swingstandards from the period, improvisedmusic layered over the puppets’ andpuppeteers’ actions and music writtenfor the play.

Although Horejs says he didn’twant to connect his story of GermanNazis with any current war, he con-cedes that when “talking about thehorrors of war there are connectionsthat pop up.” In fact, Czech puppettheater, which traveled from village tovillage, often made political references

— sometimes to a village scandal orlocal events and sometimes to the ac-tivities of the current monarch. Andduring the days when Czechoslovakiawas behind the Iron Curtain created bythe Soviets, marionette theater wassuppressed or co-opted, said Horejs.

In “The Bass Saxophone,” the pup-pets symbolize the state of humanity inwartime, when people are not mastersof their own fate and music providesthe antidote.

“The little puppets sometimesserve as the soul of the characters,who have inner monologues with

them,” says Horejs.Skvorecky devoted most of his

writings to his favorite topic, jazz.(Horejs considers Danny to beSkvorecky’s alter-ego.) But havinglived under two oppressive regimes(Nazi and Communist), he came tolove music not only as entertainmentbut also as a liberator of the humanspirit. It is entirely appropriate thatSkvorecky’s play be produced underthe shadow of a monument commem-orating the victory not only of theNorth over the South, but also of free-dom over slavery.

gars and another munched a pretzel half the size of his skull,Deputy Borough President Yvonne Graham, a registered nurse,rattled off some grim statistics.

A man is three times more likely than a woman to die ofAIDS, almost twice as likely to die from heart disease and nearly30 percent more likely to die of some form of preventable can-cer, she noted.

Still, the figures did not appear to shock some men in the au-dience, who seemed all too happy to rationalize their healthcarecomplacency.

“Sometimes you ignore what’s going on with your body untilit’s too late,” said Jay Serrano, 58, of Midwood. “My wife takesherself to the doctor as soon as she feels something. [Men] waituntil it’s too late,” he said with a smile.

“It’s hard to get to the doctor,” said John Gill, 25, of East NewYork, who stumbled upon the press conference on his way to thesubway.

“Even with this, it’s good to get the information out, but youstill get the run-around. I got to go to Woodhull [Medical Center]for a screening one day, Coney Island [Hospital] the next day. Iguarantee I’ll go and they’ll say no screening today, or you needthis paper, or there are too many people so come back anotherday,” Gill lamented, pointing to a “Take Your Man to the Doctor”schedule he had marked in pen with reminders of a half-dozenscreenings he hoped to have done at various clinics and hospitalsover the next week.

ground floor of the Showboat Casino in Atlantic City or at Bare-foot Landing on Myrtle Beach in South Carolina.

In describing his vision for the amusement complex to a NewYork magazine reporter, Sitt also talked about a 100-foot-tall wa-terslide in an indoor water park and reported that he is currentlyin talks with movie theater companies Loews and UA/Regal.

So far, Sitt’s vision has generated enthusiasm, albeit that of theguarded and slightly ambivalent breed, among those whose prop-erties would be affected.

“I have spoken with Sitt and other interested developers and Iam sure they know that no matter the grandeur of their designsthey will have to retain the feeling — I don’t know how to de-scribe it — that will allow it to blend to Coney island as it isnow,” said Horace Bullard, a Coney Island property owner andfounder of the Kansas Fried Chicken chain, who at one timeplanned to rebuild Coney’s historic Steeplechase Park.

“I’ve read a lot of things, but I guess I am like a lot of people —I’ll wait and see what happens,” said Cyclone roller coaster managerMark Blumenthal, an employee of Astroland for the past 24 years.

Bullard sold the former Washington Baths on West 21st Street andSurf Avenue, where Sitt plans a condo development, but still owns avacant, 4-acre tract where a roller coaster once stood. He agrees withSitt that all-season attractions like the climbing wall or a giant indoorwater slide would keep true to the resort’s pleasure-zone heritage andof course, make Coney Island a year-round draw for the city.

“It is an exciting plan, as I am sure many that will be proposedwill be,” he told The Brooklyn Papers.

While Sitt did not offer comment on his company’s plans orwishes for the Astroland property, he has made no promises tothe current operators.

Adding tension to the Cyclone negotiations, a misalignedpiece of track on the 85-foot-tall, wood-and-steel roller coastersent four riders to the hospital with whiplash two weeks ago, anaccident attributed by the Astroland operators to old age. The fa-mous ride was shut down during the Labor Day weekend as a re-sult of the accident.

The low-tech attraction, which is 78 years old, is owned by theParks Department and, as stipulated by law, bid out every 10years. Two weeks ago, the city closed its bidding period.

The bidding yielded proposals from a number of interestedparties — the number of bids and their content are under wrapsuntil the city makes its decision — a parks spokesperson said.

Aside from Astroland’s owner, the Albert family which cur-rently operates the roller coaster, none of the bidders have pub-licly come forward.

Blumenthal said he had not heard of rival bidders. “We are getting ready for next year,” he said. “At this time,

there is no indication we are not going to be here.” Yet, as change wafts, as sure as the scent of a Nathan’s hot

dog, over the boardwalk there are questions about who will takeover area leases.

“Landlords are only giving one-year extensions on leasesnow,” said Dick Zigun, president of Coney Island USA, the non-profit community arts organization that organizes the annualMermaid Parade on the boardwalk and Surf Avenue.

This November, the 10-year lease Zigun holds on Coney Is-land USA’s current Surf Avenue location will expire and hewants to move to a derelict bank building at Surf Avenue andWest 12th Street that was recently bought up by Thor Equities.

Coney Island USA has already sent a letter of intent to Sitt andis now awaiting a response.

“He appreciates what we do,” said Zigun. “He hasn’t said, yes,but he hasn’t said, no.”

George Janes, an analystwith the Environmental Simu-lation Center, an offshoot ofthe New School for Social Re-search that seeks to applystate-of-the-art technology tocommunity-specific planning,something he said was sorelymissing in the DEIS.

“The applicant cannotmerely assert that their actiondoes not cause an impact, asthey do in the [draft] EIS, butrather must present evidencesupporting its claims,” saidJanes.

“For an action of this size,applicants typically performvisual simulations as a way ofdemonstrating impact, andmost lead agencies write suchrequirements into the scopingdocument. This DEIS is no-table for its lack of such simu-lations.”

Otis Pearsall, a preservation-ist and member of the Brook-lyn Heights Association, point-ed out that the 110-foot-tallhotel at the base of Old FultonStreet would obscure views ofthe arch and cable-work of theBrooklyn Bridge from Brook-lyn Heights.

“Please remember, there areviews, and then there areviews. This is one of theworld’s classics. Let’s not nib-ble at it,” said Pearsall.

Judi Francis, a member ofthe Willowtown Associationin Brooklyn Heights, and peti-tioner of a lawsuit against thedevelopment corporation, tes-tified that the agency was be-ing deceptive in its representa-tion of the park in thedocument.

“The mayor and governoragreed to the creation of a 67-acre, 1.3-mile-long BrooklynBridge Park in 2002,” shepointed out, saying the samepark was promised as 70 acresin 2003, 80 acres in 2004, and“it didn’t stop growing untillast month, when the DEIS setit at 85 acres.”

Meanwhile, she said, theactual park’s outline hadn’tchanged, except to includemore water.

“This is a flawed numbercount,” she said, saying thatby counting only land uses, 32percent of the park’s footprintwould go to commercial uses.The development corpora-tion’s figures include acres ofspace that is underwater.

“I want you to know this isthe scale of the surroundingbuildings,” she said, holdingup a sheet of standard 8-1/2by 11 paper folded width-wisethree times.

She set it next to one of themodels of the high-rise con-dos to show its small size incomparison.

Citizens have their say over ‘park’ planBy Jess WisloskiThe Brooklyn Papers

A mix of complaints andpraise were showered uponthe planners of BrooklynBridge Park Monday nightin the only public hearingscheduled on the effect thedevelopment would haveon the surrounding area.

Members of the EmpireState Development Corpora-tion and Brooklyn BridgePark Development Corpora-tion (BBPDC) patiently lis-tened to four hours of publictestimony.

And they got an earful. While much of the earlier

testimony, which seemed tohave no time limit, was givenby elected officials — who re-peated their message of bothurgency and revision [see sto-ry at right] — and leadersfrom related organizations orcity agencies, as the nightwore on the voices of the pub-lic became increasingly preva-lent, if time constrained.

The purpose of the hearing,held in the Dibner Auditoriumof Polytechnic University, at 6Metrotech Center in Down-town Brooklyn, was to reviewthe draft environmental im-pact statement (DEIS) thatwas presented for communityreview in July.

The deadline for written pub-lic comment to be submitted tothe BBPDC is 5 pm on Oct. 19.It can be submitted to: BBPDC,33rd floor, 633 Third Ave., NewYork, NY 10017.

Testimony began at 5 pm,with very positive reviews ofthe project, and included rep-resentatives from the Port Au-thority of New York and NewJersey — which owns most ofthe pier property to be cededto the state for the develop-ment, of Deputy Mayor forEconomic Development DanDoctoroff — the ProspectPark Alliance and the state

historic preservation office. But as the meeting reached

its midway point, at 7 pm,

with 100 speakers left on thelist, critical views emerged onmany of the specifics of theenvironmental impact study,and its omissions.

Speakers mentioned over-sized buildings, including a30-story luxury condo towerplanned at Pier 6 and a 16-sto-ry tower in DUMBO, as beingout of scale, and the park’smajor entrances, at AtlanticAvenue and Old Fulton Street,as being obstructed by build-ings.

But other issues, such as aproposed greenway bicyclepath along the waterfront,view planes and the role a ma-rina would play in revenuegeneration also came up asdid the absence of diagramsand financial analyses in theDEIS.

Howard Gottlieb, a mem-ber of the Brooklyn GreenwayInitiative, said, “We think thisis a wonderful park, and hasthe opportunity to be the jewelbut we did not see the Brook-lyn Greenway in the environ-mental impact statement.”

He noted that the bike pathwas planned to connectGreenpoint and Williamsburgwith the south and central ar-eas of Brooklyn.

Chris Bastian, who owns ahome on Sidney Place inBrooklyn Heights, said that aproposed boat marina was allbut ignored in the draft EIS.He recited information from astate agency’s Web site aboutwhat the EIS was supposed tocontain.

“The purpose of an envi-ronmental impact statement isto give policy makers a com-prehensive review of the im-pacts of their proposed actionsand to assist them in makingan informed decision on howto proceed and to defend thatdecision,” said Bastian.

“Agencies must establish aclear and supportable recordof the agency’s decision mak-ing. In that regards I believethat this [DEIS] is deficient inproviding a clearly support-able record of the [develop-ment corporation’s] controver-sial proposal to createresidential and hotel space,”he said, also pointing out theaddition of a 185-slip marinafor sail boats and motor boats,with a visitor’s center and off-season boat storage that he

said was not discussed duringthe scoping sessions in 2000.

“Nowhere in the EIS can Ifind any reference to any po-tential revenue that’s beingcreated by this,” said Bastianwho pointed out, “My wifeand I own a car. We use it forrecreational purposes. For usit’s a luxury. We pay to keep itin storage. We do not expectsomebody to provide parkingspaces for us.

“I don’t know if the rev-enue generated by the marinawould significantly reduce oreven eliminate the proposedneed for the proposed com-mercial or residential develop-ment. However, with the in-formation provided from theDEIS, it appears you don’tknow either.”

A large portion of the audi-ence of about 300 applaudedBastian loudly.

Pols OK waterfront ‘park’… butSeek to shrink size of towers, apartmentsBy Jess Wisloskiand Ariella CohenThe Brooklyn Papers

Local elected officialsseemed this week to want tohave their cake and eat it, too,when it comes to plans forBrooklyn Bridge Park.

At a press conference at BoroughHall just hours before a public hear-ing on a study of the park’s impacts,six of the area’s elected officialsjoined to call for both approval ofthe plan’s draft environmental state-ment, and for changes to the plan it-self.

The draft environmental impactstatement (DEIS), which was re-leased in July, pertains to a revisedplan, announced in December, fora waterfront development runningfrom Jay Street to Atlantic Avenue.The plan calls for a dependence onhigh-rise luxury housing to pay theannual maintenance of the openspace and recreational areas in the1.3-mile development.

And despite their call for scalingback the high-rises, among otherchanges to the plan, Borough Pres-ident Marty Markowitz, Council-men Bill DeBlasio and DavidYassky, state Sen. Martin Connor,Assemblywoman Joan Millmanand Rep. Nydia Velazquez, allshared one distinctive message: Let

there be park!None of their proposed changes,

they said, would have any impactor render invalid the DEIS.

“First, we need to move forwardand build the park with all possiblespeed, then we must listen to com-

munity members and fix the plan’sdefects,” said DeBlasio, whosedistrict includes Carroll Gardensand Park Slope.

Yassky, whose BrooklynHeights and DUMBO district bor-ders most of the park, additionally

spoke about the need to trim someof the park’s anticipated annual ex-penses to lessen the reliance on in-come generation for the park,which is charged with being self-sustainable.

“We should maximize revenue

from existing buildings onsite,” hesaid after the Borough Hall pressconference, and pointed to existingbuildings that surround the park aspotentially contributing to thepark’s expenses.

Among the approaches ad-dressed in a joint press releasewere the following: provide inter-im park improvements and accessnear the southern end of the park;reduce the height of the residentialbuildings near Pier 6 to 20 storiesor less (currently, a 30-story toweris proposed there); preserve theCon Edison site, near the northernend of the park, as green space(currently, a condo high-rise is pro-posed there); develop residentialprojects elsewhere in DUMBO orglean funds from existing build-ings; provide more indoor and out-door recreation; develop a middleschool for Region 8; and considerusing the Purchase Building (anart-deco industrial space under-neath the Brooklyn Bridge nowslated for demolition) as part of thepark.

Other suggestions by the offi-cials included developing a ferryterminal at a “more inviting parkentrance” at Atlantic Avenue thatwould feature ancillary commer-cial activity; improving access atthe northern end of the park inVinegar Hill; and enhancingpedestrian access to Old Fulton

Street, where walkers battle two-way traffic entering and exiting theBrooklyn-Queens Expressway.

While some of the elected offi-cials were adamant about movingahead with the project, such asConnor — who said, “We can’tslow down the process. We need toget the EIS approved and moveforward” — others seemed hesi-tant to offer such unconditionalsupport.

Yassky, who later provided analternative financing plan that in-cludes cutting the private security,relying instead on police, and ex-panding the financial burden to ex-isting buildings near the park, saidhe would favor more explorationin financing, but realized time wasprecious.

“We have the market conditionsfor a housing deal now,” Yasskytold reporters. “We don’t want tomiss the market.”

But Judi Francis, an opponent ofthe current park plans, who liveson Willow Place, just a block fromthe proposed construction of newhigh-rises, likened the move by theelected officials to lip service.

“At the 11th hour they come upwith a paltry few crumbs to throwat the community in order to getthe earth-moving equipment ontothe site,” she said.

“They haven’t heard us. And it’svery disappointing.”

Local elected officials urge that development of the Brooklyn Heights waterfront move forward. At Bor-ough Hall Monday (from left): Councilman David Yassky, Rep. Nydia Velazquez, Borough President MartyMarkowitz, state Sen. Martin Connor, Councilman Bill DeBlasio and Assemblywoman Joan Millman.

way, limited entry points, andthe distance to subways. Thusit is predictable that buyers ofthe 1,210 million-dollar con-dos in BBP will expect tohave easy access to a parkingplace they can count on.

The BBP DEIS unrealisti-cally assumes that only two-thirds (or 808) of the affluenthouseholds in this relativelyremote location will needparking.

The 2005 Park Plan pro-vides 96 percent of them with772 parking spaces in the resi-dential towers at the south endof the park. Since these willnot satisfy the inevitable de-mand for at least one secureparking space for each hous-ing unit, condo owners willmake deals to reserve public

To the editor:The luxury apartment tow-

ers introduced into the Brook-lyn Bridge Park (BBP) plan togenerate financing for its an-nual maintenance are, in fact,the principal barrier to thepark’s self-sustainability.

The main reason is that res-idential parking will consumeparking needed for commer-cial revenue generators.Rather than serving parkusers, residential parking facil-itates trips away from andback to the park, adding noth-ing to the life of the park it-self.

For the BBP, the sense ofremoteness that is part of theallure of the waterfront is rein-forced by the barrier of theBrooklyn-Queens Express-

Parking for ‘park’ housing poses a dilemmaThis pushes up the parkingshortfall from the 339 spacesreported in the DEIS to 615drivers who would have tofind parking elsewhere andwalk back to the park.

The parking deficit wouldactually be much greater than615 spaces because auto useto stores, restaurants, a hoteland to the park itself at thisrelatively remote site will like-ly be more than the 20 percentto 30 percent of trips that isassumed in the DEIS. In addi-tion to depriving commercialactivities of adequate spaces,residential parking skews the

become white elephants. Re-ducing the number of condoswon’t do much because all1,183 spaces are needed forgenuine park activity and to at-tract creative commercial activ-ities that can sustain the park.The erosion of public parkingby the inevitable parking de-mands of luxury housing un-

dermines the park’s sustainabil-ity and moves our once world-class park another step closer tobecoming Trump City.

There should simply be nohousing in the park at all.

PARENTHelping kids copewith disasters

Tips on what to expectfrom Hurricane Katrina’syoungest evacuees and how tohelp them cope:

No matter what’s going on inthe world around them, childrenneed ways to release their ener-gy with some adult direction.Time to jump, run and play.And permission to cry or be an-gry or laugh.

After a bus trip from Texasto Charlotte, N.C., one 4-year-old boy ran non-stop inside theCharlotte Coliseum in NorthCarolina, wearing Clifford theBig Red Dog slippers. When hewasn’t crawling up railings, hewas yelling and almost runninginto walls, a Charlotte reporternoticed as she was looking forstories to tell. His mother, 24,who had evacuated from NewOrleans before the storm, apol-ogized for her son’s behavior. Itwas fueled by attention deficitdisorder, she said, and concernsover the whereabouts of his fa-ther.

With his pregnant mother,the boy packed his unbridledenergy off to his next temporaryhome — his aunt’s house. Theaunt has a lot of love, but notmuch money or room.

“Kids are resilient, but Iknow some will be profoundlyaffected,” says Paul Tisdale, su-perintendent of Biloxi, Miss.,public schools.

When school resumes, heexpects teachers to address theordeal. “I think it’s in the natureof a good teacher to say, ‘Let’s

talk about it.’A good teacher isa good nurturer,” says Tisdale,an educator for 30 years.

Tisdale, a native of Biloxi, re-members coming through Hurri-cane Camille in 1969. He was 16.“The interesting part was talkingto pals — where are you staying,what happened to you? After aweek it was old news.”

Tisdale is a believer in struc-ture for kids, even in a disaster,even if it’s just taking out thetrash. He believes childrenshould have a routine and a lev-el of normalcy — it teaches ac-countability and responsibility. A chance to talk, a routine, ex-pectations — all these are whatchildren need, parents and men-tal health professionals find.

The National Center forPost-Traumatic Stress Disordersays most disaster survivors, in-

By Betsy Flagler

Parent-to-Parentcluding children and rescueworkers, experience commonstress reactions that can last forweeks or longer:

• Emotional reactions: shock,fear, grief, anger, sadness andfeeling helpless.

• Cognitive reactions: confu-sion, indecisiveness, worry,trouble concentrating.

• Physical reactions: tension,fatigue, edginess, insomnia,aches or pain, racing heartbeat,nausea, change in appetite.

• Interpersonal reactions: dis-trust, conflict, withdrawal, workor school problems, irritability,loss of intimacy, feeling aban-doned.

Psychologists also havefound that children pick up onfear and anxiety like sponges,and will take it in and act it out.Kids do not need to be shieldedfrom all of adult sadness, men-tal health professionals havefound, but will fare better ifthey do not witness their par-ents totally falling apart.

Can you help?“My 12-year-old son has cere-

bral palsy and several emotionalproblems, including school pho-bia. I have been homeschoolinghim but I lost his records fromlast year. Now the school systemis trying to insist that I put himback in school. How can I keephomeschooling without recordsfrom last year?
