BROOKLYN 

TODAY 

MAY 2 

Good morning. Today is 

the 122nd day of the year. 

On this day in 1902, the 

Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported 

that two Democratic 

politicians “high up in 

Willoughby Street” had 

agreed to tear down two 

horse stables they owned 

and leased to the Street 

Cleaning Department and 

replace them with two new 

stables equipped with modern 

plumbing, electric lights 

and steam heating. The 

Eagle described the old stables 

as “old rattle-traps.” 

The fact that the two 

politicians were described 

as “Willoughby Street men” 

implies that an influential 

Democratic clubhouse, 

similar to Manhattan’s 

Tammany Hall, was located 

on Willoughby Street. 

Well-known people who 

were born today include 

British soccer star David 

Beckham, English balladeer 

Engelbert Humperdinck 

(“Release Me”), 1960s 

pop singer Leslie Gore 

(“It’s My Party,” “You Don’t 

Own Me”), and ethnic 

folk-singer/character actor 

Theodore Bikel. 

 

Today at 6 p.m., the 

Brooklyn Arts Council 

Gallery at 111 Front St. will 

sponsor an artist’s talk by 

photographer Randy Duchaine. 

He will present images 

and discuss his work in 

“New York Waters: Profiles 

from the Edge.” This book 

showcases the “maritime underground,” 

people whose 

histories, livelihoods and 

personal passions are tied to 

the ever-changing New York 

City waters. 

Freed Prisoner 

To Sue City 

A Brooklyn man who 

was freed after 22 years 

in jail for a murder he 

didn’t commit is planning 

to sue the city for 

$150 million, according 

to the New York Post. 

David Ranta was released 

in March after 

prosecutors began a 

reinvestigation into the 

murder of Rabbi 

Chaskel Werzberger in 

Williamsburg. Shortly 

after his release, he reportedly 

suffered a heart 

attack. 

“The first time I ate at 

a restaurant and used 

their restroom, I couldn’t 

figure out how to use the 

sink,” he told the Post.

REVIEW AND COMMENT 

Slower Economies 

Create Upheavals 

In People's Values 

By the Christian Science Monitor's Editorial Board 

Personal values in a society, such as the levels of trust and hope, often 

determine the health of an economy more than government. That’s why 

it is worth watching as the world’s two largest economies, China and the 

United States, each appear to be adjusting the value norms that have sustained 

their prosperity. 

In the U.S., according to polls, the American dream has shifted from 

the pursuit of individual opportunities to simply seeking economic stability. 

This means trying to hold down a job as well as hold down one’s debt. 

Credit-card debt has fallen since 2010 and the virtue of savings has returned. 

The Great Recession reversed the idea that increasing one’s debt is a 

guaranteed ticket to the middle-class lifestyle. According to a new Allstate- 

National Journal survey, more than half of Americans say there is less “opportunity 

to get ahead.” 

And a similar proportion doubt whether a college degree is worth taking 

on student loans. Only 51 percent of workers feel comfortable with their 

finances for retirement, down from 70 percent just six years ago, according 

to the Employee Benefit Research Institute. 

Avoiding risk is apparently the new moral norm in the U.S. This downsizing 

of aspirations is a long way from the description of the American 

dream as first defined by historian James Truslow Adams in a 1931 book: “It 

is not a dream of motor cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social 

order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest 

stature of which they are innately capable.” 

In China, the values upheaval is different. After decades of growth 

above 10 percent, the economy has slowed to about 7.7 percent and may 

stay near that level for a long time. Yet the gross domestic product per capita 

remains below $10,000. And people are fed up with rising income inequality, 

corruption, pollution, and unfairness in the job market. 

Revitalizing and reforming the economy will be difficult. As a result, 

President Xi Jinping has tried to define a new set of economic values by 

coining the slogan “China dream” last fall. But he hasn’t been very specific 

about what he means other than to use phrases like “revitalization of the 

nation.” The new prime minister, Li Kequiang, only speaks of “equal opportunities 

for everyone.” 

It is noteworthy that the official phrase is not “the Chinese dream,” 

meaning a dream for the individual Chinese. Instead, Mr. Xi has tied the interests 

of the Communist Party and the state – or “China” – to any hopes of 

the individual. Managing social stability remains the party’s key concern. 

“We must meld together the country’s dream and the dream of the [Chinese] 

race with each individual’s dream,” stated the conservative Beijing 

Daily. Political freedoms and government accountability are not part of the 

official dream. 

In both countries, an economic slowdown has forced a serious look 

at how individuals and their values contribute to the general welfare. Yet 

each is doing it differently. China’s approach is from the top down, or government 

driven; America’s changes are bottom up as individuals adjust. Either 

way, the world cannot ignore this transformation of values in two giant 

economies.

by local artists. 

2. 

2. On a very quiet, garden-lined 

street in Brooklyn 

Heights lies this unusual 

house, unlike any we’ve 

seen in Brooklyn Heights. 

Built in 1886, the style is 

Romanesque Revival, with 

a red brick fa?ade, reddish 

brown terra-cotta and grey 

sandstone details. Interior 

d?cor is stunningly contemporary. 

3. Unique to the Brooklyn

known as “Cottage Row” 

and built in the late 1840’s 

with clapboard siding 

and inviting front porches. 

We’re delighted to be

which, in the first years of 

the 19 th century, ran from 

the banks of the East River 

to the large Philip Livingston 

Estate, we’ll be visiting 

a house built in 1847. Inside, 

visitors will enjoy the

Brooklyn Heights: Rich 

in History, Vital Today 

The Brooklyn Heights Association 

is New York City’s 

oldest neighborhood association. 

Since 1910 the organization 

has been a central force 

in the preservation of the 

community’s history and the 

betterment of the quality of 

life for its residents. 

Originally developed and 

populated by wealthy New 

York bankers and merchants 

in the mid-19 th century when 

Robert Fulton‘s new steampowered 

ferry offered fast 

travel across the East River, 

Brooklyn Heights was designated 

the City’s first Historic 

District in 1965. The best 

examples of 19 th century architecture 

are seen here, including 

more than 600 houses 

that predate the Civil War. 

Also noteworthy are the 

neighborhood’s churches, designed 

by acclaimed 19 th century 

architects including 

Richard Upjohn, James Renwick 

and Minard Lafever. 

Once home to many literati 

including Walt Whitman, 

W.H. Auden, Carson Mc- 

Cullers, Truman Capote, Hart 

Crane, Thomas Wolfe, W.E.B. 

DuBois and Arthur Miller, 

Brooklyn Heights has been 

featured in literature and film. 

The Promenade, which 

overlooks the eastern shore 

of New York’s East River below 

the Brooklyn Bridge, 

draws tens of thousands of 

visitors each year, for its undisputed 

best view of New 

York harbor from the Brooklyn 

Bridge south to the Verrazano 

Narrows Bridge and 

New York City’s famed skyscrapers.

On This Day in History 

Brooklyn’s Only Daily Record of Historical Events in the Borough 

Founded 

1841 

Bumper Crop of Movies and Plays 

BROOKLYN — On May 

2, 1944, it would be almost 

another year until the end of 

WW II in Europe on May 8, 

1945, followed in another 

three months, on August 15, 

by the end in Asiatic-Pacific 

conflict. In the meantime it 

would appear from the 

Brooklyn Eagle’s entertainment 

pages of May 2, 1944, 

both Hollywood and Broadway 

were doing their dead 

level best to entertain war 

weary New Yorkers. In 1944 

the country’s top male movie 

stars were Bing Crosby, Gary 

Cooper and Bob Hope. Females 

at the top were Betty 

Grable, Greer Garson and 

Bette Davis. Average ticket price at the movies was 32 cents with an average weekly 

attendance of 85,000,000. 

It was the last showing at the Brooklyn Paramount of Passage to Marseille and 

Rosie the Riveter. The following day Lady in the Dark and The Navy Way opened. Admission 

was 43 cents if purchased before 5 p.m. For wartime action the nearby Fox’s 

screen had plenty of it in The Fighting Seabees coupled with Joe E. Brown as a 

Casanova in Burlesque for comedy relief. At the RKO Albee, Brooklyn’s own Danny 

Kaye starred in Up in Arms double-billed with The Curse of the Cat People. The 

Brooklyn Strand’s feature hammered away at the Nazi’s maltreatment of conquered 

people in Women in Bondage while the co-feature Trocadero was a music-filled Republic 

“B” film including the songs “Shoo-Shoo Baby,” “Bull Frog Jump,” and 

“Louisiana Lulu.” At 1/2 Broadway prices, Brandt’s Flatbush was presenting Broadway 

shows. The current one was Junior Miss being followed by Porgy & Bess with 

‘Original Cast.’

May 2 FROM THE ORIGINAL EAGLE AND OTHER SOURCES 

Remembering Bing, The Man 

TACOMA, WA — Bing 

Crosby was born Harry Lillis 

Crosby in Tacoma, 

Washington, on May 2, 

1904. The young Bing was 

vastly different from the 

pipe-smoking, golfing, family 

man of later years. In 

1921, fresh out of college 

and aged 20, he put together 

an act with Al Rinker: “Two 

Boys and a Piano — 

Singing Songs Their Own 

Way.” Later they were 

signed by bandleader Paul 

Whiteman, and with Harry 

Barris, became Paul Whiteman’s 

Rhythm Boys. Bing 

quickly gained a reputation 

as a hard-drinking hell-raiser 

and his carousing nearly 

wrecked his feature debut in 

King of Jazz (’30). When 

shooting began, Crosby was 

in jail on a drunken driving 

charge. The authorities 

obligingly allowed him out 

every day for his scenes 

with the Rhythm Boys. But 

he lost the big solo, “Song 

of the Dawn”; the number 

went to John Boles instead. 

Marriage in 1930 to starlet 

Dixie Lee eventually 

calmed Crosby down, although 

not before Dixie had 

threatened divorce if he didn’t 

reform. He got another 

chance to sing solo in Reaching 

for the Moon (’31). A 

year later a radio show 

brought him national fame 

and a three year contract for 

five films with Paramount, 

and by the early ’50s he became 

Paramount’s most 

bankable star. He also became 

a national institution. 

He and Dixie had four sons, 

Gary, Dennis, Philip and 

Lindsay. As a father he was a 

harsh disciplinarian and reputedly 

used a belt dotted 

with metal studs to beat his 

sons until the blood ran. 

Dixie became an alcoholic; 

some say due to Bing’s remoteness. 

Dixie died of cancer 

in 1953. 

Following his debut in 

King of Jazz, his many other 

films include East Side of 

Heaven (’39), Road to Singapore 

(’39) — the beginning 

of his amiable feud with 

Bob Hope, and Holiday Inn 

(’42). Bing began to be as 

notable for his dramatic act- 

Sang at BAM at Age 7 

ing as his singing. As a 

young priest in Going My 

Way he won an Oscar as best 

actor. The same role in the 

sequel, Bells of St. Mary’s 

(’45) won him a nomination 

for the same award. For The 

Country Girl (’55), in which 

he played an alcoholic singer 

trying to make a comeback, 

he was again nominated for 

an Oscar. 

Crosby made many 

records and appeared on 

many radio and TV shows. 

His autobiography Call Me 

Lucky was published in 

1953. His second chance at 

married life came with his 

marriage to Kathryn Grant 

in 1957 and it proved happier 

than the first. He and 

Kathryn had three children, 

Harry, Nathaniel and Mary. 

Bing had a ravenous appetite 

for golf and that is 

where his life ended — 

near Madrid, Spain, on October 

14, 1977. He had just 

won a game and collapsed 

as he walked to the clubhouse, 

having suffered a 

massive heart attack. 

The world premiere of Going My Way opened at the Times Square Paramount on 

May 2, 1944. The prediction made in the Brooklyn Eagle’s ad came to pass — the 

star, Bing Crosby, did win an Academy Award as Best Actor for his part as a priest. 

The ad should also have wished him a Happy Birthday — Bing celebrated his 40th 

birthday that day. 

BROOKLYN — Morton Gottlieb was born in Brooklyn on May 2, 1921, the 

son of Joseph W. Gottlieb and his wife Hilda (Newman). His first exposure to theater 

biz was when he was a singer in the comedy Go Home and Tell Your Mother 

at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. He was a graduate of Erasmus High School 

in Brooklyn and received his B.S. at Yale University in class of 1941. 

Gottlieb’s professional stage debut was in Liberty Jones at the Shubert Theatre 

in New Haven, CT, in January 1941. He pursued a career in press representation 

for Theatre, Inc. and was business manager for the plays Dream Girl and Joan of 

Lorraine in 1946. In 1947-’48 he was general manager and press representative of 

the Cape Playhouse, Dennis, MA. In 1949 he was general manager for the Australian 

tour of Edward, My Son as well as for a number of Broadway plays. In

1951 he became general manager of Henry Miller’s Theatre and also for other Gilbert Miller productions including 

Gigi, Caesar and Cleopatra, Antony and Cleopatra, and Horses in Midstream. 

Gottlieb’s first production was for the tour of Arms and the Man (1953). From 1953 to 1961 he produced 

many plays for Broadway and touring shows. In 1959 he was general manager of the American Shakespeare 

Festival, in Stratford, CT. His 1970 production of Sleuth won the Tony Award as the best play of the year. Gottlieb 

has produced two highly rated films: Sleuth (1972) and Same Time Next Year (1978). One of Gottlieb’s 

favorite pastimes is watching old movies.

The Rev. Dr. David C. Fisher, 

Senior Minister of Plymouth Church, 

Announces His Retirement 

Rev. Dr. David C. Fisher. Eagle photo by Will Hasty 

In a message mailed to the Plymouth 

Church congregation last week and delivered 

from the pulpit on April 28, the Rev. 

Dr. David C. Fisher has announced his retirement. 

His noteworthy tenure at Plymouth, 

the historic Congregational Church in 

Brooklyn Heights, began in August of 2004, 

with his formal installation as Plymouth’s 

tenth Settled Minister on January 10, 2005. 

Rev. Fisher is scheduled to depart from 

Plymouth on September 30, 2013. 

The nine years of Rev. Fisher’s ministry 

at Plymouth Church have been a time 

of growth and maturation–in membership, 

programs and mission. According to 

Sandra Deming, President of the Plymouth 

Council, “Rev. Fisher’s unique gifts of teaching 

and preaching have opened the eyes, 

hearts and hands of many, and led this congregation 

on a journey of spiritual growth. 

Thanks to David, we are a more engaged 

and active church today, fulfilling our mission 

to serve God in this world.” 

In a related announcement, Plymouth 

Council, the church’s leadership committee, 

has initiated plans for the transition, naming 

Rev. Al Bunis as interim Senior Minister, 

effective October 1. Rev. Bunis, a member of 

Plymouth with his family since 1999, joined 

the ministerial staff in 2010. “It has been an 

honor to work so closely with David these 

past few years,” Rev. Bunis notes. “Under 

his leadership, Plymouth has thrived in so 

many ways, and set such a strong foundation 

for the future.” 

The Rev. Dr. David C. Fisher has been 

a parish pastor for forty-three years. After 

graduating from seminary, he learned the 

pastoral craft in a decade of ministry in rural 

America. For two decades, he served as 

Senior Minister at two of the largest and 

most prestigious Congregational churches 

in America: Park Street Church in Boston, 

MA, and Colonial Church in Edina, MN. ??A 

graduate of Bryan College and Trinity Evangelical 

Divinity School, Rev. Fisher earned 

his Ph.D. in New Testament Interpretation 

at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. 

He has also done additional graduate 

studies at Hebrew Union College and Indiana 

University. His academic specialty is the 

Jewish background of early Christianity. He 

has served as Instructor of New Testament 

at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary 

and as Adjunct Professor of New Testament 

at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. 

?? 

Rev. Fisher’s many years in pastoral ministry 

have honed a deep interest in the theology 

and practice of the Christian ministry. 

He is a frequent speaker at clergy and 

denominational gatherings and has written 

numerous articles and a book, The Twenty- 

First Century Pastor: A Vision Based on the 

Apostle Paul (Zondervan, 1996). ??He also 

has a lifelong interest in preaching and the 

craft of preaching. In 2001, he served as a 

Fellow of the College of Preachers at the National 

Cathedral in Washington, D.C., where 

he did research and writing on the New 

Homiletic. 

The son of a pastor, Rev. Fisher and his 

wife, Gloria, have three grown children and 

six grandchildren. 

Plymouth Church is a vibrant community 

of faith in historic Brooklyn Heights. 

For 165 years, the church has been a vital 

presence in New York City, and in 1961, the 

church sanctuary was designated a National 

Historic Landmark. Aware of its unique 

history and influence, Plymouth continues 

to serve the community with regular 

worship services, the Plymouth Church 

School (preschool) and summer camp, choral 

music for adults and children, Christian 

spiritual development classes for all 

ages, and charitable programs for those in 

need. Plymouth is a member of the National 

Association of Congregational Christian 

Churches.

Howe’s Brooklyn 

Scaling the Heights 

One of the most knowledgeable and capable 

of those working behind the scenes to help 

save LICH is an unsung Heights hero named 

Morrell (Mike) Avram. A resident of the Heights 

since 1959, Dr. Avram established the Avram 

Center for Kidney Diseases in 1971. A world-renowned 

specialist, Dr. Avram remained loyal to 

LICH through five decades, and his Avram Kidney 

Center had the distinction of keeping a patient 

alive on dialysis for 38 years, longer than 

any other center in the world. 

Mike and his wife Maria have, without asking 

for any fanfare, given millions of dollars to 

charities in the Heights and in the Hamptons 

throughout their tenure in the historic neighborhood 

they love (Maria was recently given 

a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Stony 

Brook University School of Nursing.) But perhaps 

they might not mind a little fanfare for 

their greatest achievement of all: their children. 

They have produced five extraordinary 

professionals, four of whom became doctors: 

Rella Hartman, MD, Marc Avram, MD, Mathew Avram, 

MD, and David Avram, MD. Eric Avram, pictured with 

his father below at a recent White House reception, is 

a Senior Executive Producer at ABC News.

the Holy Trinity, Montague and Clinton Streets, was 

in danger. Particularly distressing to the influential 

preservation community in greater New York was the 

possible loss of some rare stained glass windows. As a 

way of bringing attention to the restoration project, 

the Arts at St. Ann’s was established to produce unusual, 

high-quality programs to bring people and support 

to the historic site. Feldman was chosen to run it, and 

she made a touchdown. 

Fast forward to the 21 st Century: having built a devoted 

audience for her programming, Feldman found a 

DUMBO warehouse space and renamed her arts project 

St. Ann’s Warehouse. As time dictated real estate market 

changes, the ‘warehouse’ was slated for demolition. 

Courted by other venues offering physical plants, Feldman 

and her board remained faithful to Brooklyn and 

sought yet another landmark treasure to inhabit and 

revive: the waterfront Tobacco Warehouse, a pre-Civil 

War shell that was saved by preservationists years ago 

as a remnant of Brooklyn’s glorious industrial past on 

the waterfront. 

Expecting this will become a permanent home, and 

needing support to do it, St. Ann’s Warehouse is throwing 

a gala May 8 at the Tobacco Warehouse site. The 

key performer is to be none other than NORAH JONES, 

By Sam Howe & Friends 

9-time Grammy winner 

who has sold more than 40 

million albums. Also a devoted 

Brooklynite, Jones 

recently bought a house in 

Cobble Hill. 

Jones’ neighbor a few 

blocks away in the Heights 

is the evening’s honoree. 

HANK GUTMAN, perhaps 

more than any of the 

countless supporters now 

linked to Brooklyn Bridge 

Park, has proven himself 

to be one of “Brooklyn’s 

greatest Forgers”. In 

the early days of Brooklyn 

Bridge Park, it was Gutman 

who guided the city and 

state connections that, 

once forged together, really 

made the Park dream 

a possibility. During that 

same period, decades ago, it was Gutman as a leader 

on the board of the Brooklyn Central Y, who forged a 

final plan–one among many attempts–to build a Y for 

Brownstone Brooklyn. 

While many helped 

generously, including St. 

Ann’s Warehouse Chairman 

JOE STEINBERG, 

one of the most successful 

and sorely-needed Y 

facilities in the city, located 

at Atlantic and Court, 

was ‘forged’ and overseen 

by the leadership 

of HANK GUTMAN. In recent 

memory, when St. 

Ann’s Warehouse faced a 

tough bureaucratic struggle 

for access to create 

a facility within the Tobacco 

Warehouse walls, 

many labored for the 

cause, but it was HANK 

GUTMAN who took out a 

pair of scissors to attack 

the red tape.

guidance of Chair JOE 

STEINBERG, and senior 

board members TONY 

SCHLESINGER and DA- 

VID WALENTAS, has attracted a whole new generation 

of young leadership. The future vitality 

of the entire waterfront seems invigorated by the 

plans of St. Ann’s. Readers who have not signed up 

to attend, hear NORAH JONES up close, and feast, 

should call St. Ann’s Warehouse at 718-834-8794.

TWO HEIGHTS VOICES, OCTAVES APART 

Hardly anyone in the New York region fails to recognize 

the deep, resonant voice of TOM STEWART, the 

Station Announcer for PBS’s Channel 13 (now merged 

with 21 on Long Island). Through many Pledge Drives– 

as well as many BHA annual meetings, which he graciously 

hosts–the powerful, reassuring voice remains a

fixture New Yorkers have come to love. Residing with 

that voice on Remsen Street, a few octaves up, is TOM’s 

wife MAUREEN KELLEY STEWART, a cabaret artist 

whose one-woman shows have received rave reviews 

in past years at the Laurie Beechman Theatre on 42nd Street. Critics have said “..a voice to close your eyes and 

dream to.” But also astounding and engaging are the 

programs that MAUREEN KELLEY STEWART puts together. 

Upcoming in June her theme is “Words By Mercer”, 

featuring program 

and songs of the legendary, 

Oscar-winning writer 

and composer Johnny 

Mercer. As many who live 

in the Heights know, it is 

fun to gather and support 

our talented neighbors, 

sometimes simply for the 

honor of having them so 

close. But June 1 and June 

4, readers who love music 

will have a rare opportunity 

to see this extraordinary 

writing and singing talent. 

First, go to her website:

we almost 

forgot the ‘octaves apart‘ 

thing. Every fall at Mohonk 

Mountain House, TOM 

and MAUREEN do a mixed 

selection of musical theatre 

favorites together… 

yes, a happily married couple

harmony, in public.

State Issues Request for New LICH Operator 

By Mary Frost 

Brooklyn Daily Eagle 

The State University of 

New York (SUNY) issued a Request 

for Information (RFI) on 

Wednesday, May 1 to formally 

solicit interest from hospital 

operators or others to take 

over Long Island College Hospital 

(LICH) in Cobble Hill. 

SUNY said in a statement 

that they're looking for "hospital 

operators, healthcare providers, 

and qualified parties who 

could provide health care services, 

including operation of an 

acute care hospital, at or around 

the Long Island College Hospital 

(LICH) site in Brooklyn." 

While the health care facilities 

or services can be provided 

either "on the campus 

or in the community around" 

the hospital, the LICH campus 

should be developed 

"for beneficial community 

purposes that may support 

health care services in the 

community," the RFI says. 

In addition, the facility 

should provide "economic development 

in the neighborhood 

that may support health 

care services in the community," 

or "other creative purposes" 

benefiting the community. 

The RFI can be found at: 

http://www.suny.edu/hospitals/downstate/. 

The board’s plan 

to close LICH was 

scuttled last Friday after 

months of protests, 

political activism and 

media coverage. 

The SUNY Board 

of Trustees’ Hospitals 

Committee met 

Wednesday to develop 

a plan to keep afloat 

financially-strapped 

SUNY Downstate Medical 

Center. 

SUNY is required 

by law to develop 

a sustainability plan for 

Downstate Medical Center 

by June 1, and, with the approval 

of the New York Department 

of Health and the 

New York Office of Budget, 

to begin implementation 

on June 15, said SUNY 

spokesperson David Doyle. 

“The plan will be a blueprint 

on how to meet the 

health care needs of the community 

in a financially viable 

way while also serving to 

protect Brooklyn’s only medical 

school,” Doyle told the 

Brooklyn Eagle Wednesday 

morning. 

“In addition, SUNY will 

formally solicit interest 

from hospital operators, 

healthcare providers, and 

qualified parties who could 

Grace Church School 

provide health care services, 

including operation of 

an acute care hospital, at or 

around the Long Island College 

Hospital (LICH) campus.” 

The committee meeting 

took place at the College 

of Optometry, 33 West 

42nd St., 18th Floor, in Manhattan. 

The agenda for the 

meeting is available online 

at www.suny.edu/Board_of_ 

Trustees/meetingNotices.cfm 

and a webcast will also be 

available. 

Dr. John Williams, president 

of SUNY Downstate, 

and Lora Lefebvre, SUNY’s Associate 

Vice Chancellor for 

Health Affairs, were scheduled 

to address the LICH and 

Downstate issue. 

Established in 1928, Grace Church 

School is a non-sectarian school that serves 

140 children ranging in age from 2 to 6 years 

old in an early childhood program noted for its 

emphasis on the whole child. The school encourages 

every child to grow at his or her own 

pace in a multi-sensory learning environment. 

The development of character and of ethical and social values is an integral 

part of the school's philosophy. The school also has a Together 

Time Program for toddlers, age 16 to 24 months, which encourages 

children, accompanied by a parent or caregiver, to enjoy appropriate 

activities supervised by an Early Childhood Specialist. They also have 

a Wednesday afternoon music program for toddlers. Our New Mother's 

Support Group is led by a clinical psychologist and meets for six eightweek 

sessions throughout the school year to encourage first time mothers 

to become comfortable with their new parental role. 

Parents interested in a tour of Grace Church School should call 

for an appointment after September. Applications for admission are 

available following a tour of the school. For tour information, please call 

(718) 624-4030. 

Lefebvre’s focus is 

hospital finances and 

operations, according 

to SUNY. She previously 

served as deputy director 

of the NYS Department 

of Health’s 

Office of Health Systems 

Management. 

Dr. Williams was 

hired by SUNY last August 

to lead Downstate 

through its financial restructuring. 

Although the SUNY 

board voted to close 

LICH in March, Brooklyn Supreme 

Court Justice Johnny 

Lee Baynes issued a temporary 

restraining order on April 

1 that barred the state from 

shutting down LICH pending 

a May 2 hearing. 

On April 25, City Council 

members voted unanimously 

in favor of a resolution 

calling on SUNY and 

the Department of Health 

to work with stakeholders 

to find another operator 

for LICH –- and to plow 

any funds gained from that 

sale back into the neighborhoods 

served by LICH. 

While LICH is located in 

Cobble Hill, it provides health 

services to a large swath of 

Brooklyn stretching from Red 

Hook to Williamsburg. 

Coming to Brooklyn Heights: ‘Adam Yauch Playground’ 

By Raanan Geberer 


The Palmetto Playground 

at Columbia Heights and State 

Street in southwestern Brooklyn 

Heights could be renamed 

as the Adam Yauch Playground, 

after a founding member of 

the Beastie Boys rock-hip hop 

group, as early as this Friday, 

the Brooklyn Heights Blog reported 

this week. 

The Brooklyn Daily Eagle 

reported last year about the petition 

drive to rename the playground 

for Yauch, who grew up 

in the Heights and went to Edward 

R. Murrow High School 

in Midwood. Yauch, who went 

by the name of “MCA” when he 

was with the group, was diagnosed 

with cancer in 2009 and 

died last year. 

At the time, Kathleen Hanna, 

the wife of fellow Beastie 

Boys member Adam “Ad-Rock” 

Horovitz, confirmed that her 

husband was working with the 

city Parks Department to have 

the playground renamed for 

Yauch. 

Frances Yauch, his mother, 

who still lives in the Heights, 

told the Eagle the park would 

be renamed for Adam and that 

there would be a ceremony, 

but declined to give details. “He 

learned to ride a bike in that 

playground,” she remembered. 

A Parks Department 

spokeswoman declined to 

comment on the issue at all, 

saying that Parks would send 

out a press release when the 

time comes. 

The Beastie Boys became 

well known after their album 

“License to Ill” in 1986 (with its 

hit single, “Fight for Your Right 

To Party”). They sold 22 million 

albums in the United States 

SUNY Downstate in East Flatbush, the “parent 

company” of Long Island College Hospital. 

Adam Yauch of the "Beastie Boys" performs at the Virgin Festival in 

Baltimore in 2007. AP Photo by Jeff Christensen 

and 40 million albums worldwide. 

They had seven platinum 

albums from 1986 to 2004. 

The group began as a hardcore 

punk band in 1981, but began 

to incorporate hip-hop 

into their act in 1983. 

Bandmate Horovitz, in an 

interview with Rolling Stone, 

said, “Adam was the Techno 

Wiz – that’s what me, Mike and 

Rick [Rubin] called him. I went 

to his apartment in Brooklyn 

once. He had a reel-to-reel tape 

recorder, and he had strung the 

tape all over the place.” 

The playground, near the 

Riverside Apartments, attracts 

a multi-ethnic group of children 

and teens. Built during 

the Lindsay administration, 

it was originally named in a 

somewhat roundabout way after 

the Cabbage Palmetto, the 

state tree of South Carolina, 

whose capital city is Columbia.

Views on Aging, from A Longtime, Expert Observer 

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you 

don’t mind, it doesn’t matter. – Mark Twain 

By Ciril J. Godec, MD 

Chief, Department of Urology 

Professor of Urology, 

Downstate Medical Center 

At Long Island College Hospital 

Getting older is inevitable, growing 

up less so. Ask my wife; she will 

tell you immediately that growing up 

and maturity do not apply to me. What 

is aging? Of the many definitions, I’ll 

mention just two. “The process of 

growing old and mature.” Or, a more 

biological definition, “aging is the endogenous 

and hereditary process of accumulative 

changes of molecular and 

cellular structures disrupting metabolism 

with the passage of time, resulting 

in deterioration and death. Aging 

occurs on both levels, of the whole organism 

as well as of individual cells”. 

Aging is, by far, the leading cause 

of death. Of the approximately 150,000 

people who die each day, roughly 

100,000 die of aging. In developed countries, 

up to 90% of deaths are due to aging. 

In 2012, the average lifespan for the 

U.S. was 78.49 years and for the world 

was 67.59. Still, for longevity, the U.S. 

ranks only fiftieth among the countries 

in the world. The first is Monaco with 

89.68 years, and at the bottom is Chad 

with 49. 

At the present time, the maximum 

lifespan for humans is approximately 

120 years. The oldest documented 

human being was Jeanne Calment, a 

Frenchwoman who died in 1997 at the 

age of 122 years and 164 days. Centenarians 

are currently the fastest growing 

segment of the American population. 

While they number 70,000 

in 2012, the American Census Bu- 

reau predicts that in 2050 we’ll have 

600,000 in the US. Among centenarians, 

women are at a distinct advantage: 

85% of centenarians are women. 

But if men can make it past 100, 

they are in general in better health. 

Not everybody will get Alzheimer in 

very old age; only one third of centenarians 

have it, one third have some 

hearing and vision impairment (they 

might appear Alzheimerish, but they 

are not) and one third are completely 

normal and functional. 

Is aging really a universal principle 

in nature? Maybe not. We know that 

most animals don’t die of aging. They 

are eaten or killed by other animals or 

humans. There are some animal species, 

like jellyfish, that never die. Some 

whales and turtles can survive over 

200 years. Many trees can survive over 

thousands of years. 

In 2011, heart disease and cancer 

were the two leading causes of death 

in the U.S.: 590,000 for heart and 

570,000 for cancer. Alzheimer was in 

sixth place, with 83,000 deaths. All 

three diseases are age-related; the older 

we get, the more of these three diseases 

we get. Heart and Alzheimer disease 

increase steadily with age, but 

cancer is different. Up to age 90, the 

incidence of cancer is growing, but 

after 90, it starts to dip. If we look at 

death certificates of centenarians, we 

discover that most centenarians die of 

either heart failure or Alzheimer’s disease 

and very seldom of cancer. 

What is the reason? In general, our 

immune system protects us against 

cancer and many other diseases, but 

with age, the immune system becomes 

weaker. Some studies suggest that the 

immune system in the very old is different. 

In advanced age, instead of 

8 • INBrooklyn – Section of Brooklyn Daily Eagle/ Brooklyn Eagle/Brooklyn Heights Press • May 2, 2013 

progressively deteriorating, it reorganizes, 

and in many centenarians, 

it is actually augmenting. Centenarians 

seem to be immunologic 

outliers. We do not know 

the precise mechanism of 

this phenomenon. Do some 

epigenetic switches get activated 

to protect the very 

old? Do very old people become 

more resistant to mutations? 

Most diseases are more 

connect to lifestyle than to 

our genes: 80% is lifestyle, 

only 20% is genes. We cannot 

change our genes, but they can 

be switched on or off with our 

lifestyle. We are no longer powerless 

when facing chronic diseases 

of older age. From some animal 

studies, we have learned that 

activating or silencing just 

a few genes can significantly 

extend lifespan 

or protect us against 

certain diseases. Recent 

studies of the 

human epigenome 

support the direct 

impact of lifestyle 

on our health. Once 

the National Epigenome 

Project is 

finished, we might 

be able to significantly 

extend the 

human lifespan. 

The way we live 

matters the most. 

A healthy lifestyle 

can be achieved 

by following a 

few basic principles:nonsmoking, 

good nutrition, daily exercise, 

seven to eight hours of sleep, being socially 

connected with friends, family 

and community. Spirituality matters: 

there is a biological value in prayer, no 

matter what your religion. If you are a 

non-believer, try meditation; it has the 

same biological value as prayer. Also, 

remaining active, at work or in retirement, 

helps to decelerate the aging 

process. Indeed, achieving old age is 

like a pedaling the bicycle: if you stop 

pedaling, you’ll fall. Do not forget: life 

is a verb, not a noun. 

What should we eat and how physically 

active should we be? Nutrition 

first: eat lots of vegetables, fruits and 

fish (except talapia, which has too 

many omega 6 fatty acids). You don’t 

need to be vegetarian; you still can 

eat meat but in moderation. Reduce 

your salt and fat intake (potato chips, 

nachos, fritos). Stay away from processed 

food, such as bologna. Drink 

lots of fluids, especially water, tea 

(green or black), coffee, and red wine 

in moderation. Do not take vitamin 

supplements, especially the three vitamins 

A, C and E. The only vitamin 

where we have solid data that supplement 

helps is vitamin D. The best vitamin 

intake is in well-balanced nutrition. 

Eat fruits, but don’t drink fruit 

juices – oranges yes, orange juice no. 

Fruit juices have about 50% more sugar 

than fruits. 

Avoid sugary soda drinks. All cancers 

are addicted to sugar. In a recent 

experiment, researchers compared 

cancer cell growth in culture alone 

versus culture with added sugar. Cancer 

cells grew much faster in the culture 

to which sugar had been added. 

So, try to limit the amount of sweets 

in your life. 

Eat slowly. It takes twenty minutes 

for the stomach to send a message 

to the brain that it is full. If we eat 

fast, we can consume lots of food in 

those first twenty minutes before we 

Ciril J. Godec, MD. 

feel that we have eaten enough. Many 

fast eaters, mostly men, overeat. Slow 

down. Do not eat on the run. 

Physical activity, like nutrition, 

has numerous health benefits. It 

burns calories, prevents obesity, and 

reduces coronary disease, stroke, 

metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, 

and depression. It also significantly 

contributes to the prevention 

of the four major cancers: colon, 

prostate, breast and lung. It also reduces 

arthritis and falls. On a physiological 

level, it boosts LDH (the 

“good cholesterol”), lowers triglicerides, 

increases testosterone, and 

slows down the shortening of telomeres 

at the end of the chromosomes, 

which are responsible for our 

longevity. If exercise were a pill, everybody 

should be on it. 

We all would like to live a longer 

lifespan, not as mentally and physically 

disabled, but fully functional to 

the end of our days. We should not 

die after months or even years of prolonged 

disabilities. In the near future, 

we might be able to compress morbidity 

to only a few weeks before we die. 

Adding years to our lives is important, 

but even more important is adding 

life to our years. Extending longevity 

makes sense only if we can increase 

our healthy lifespan. It is no longer 

true that the older we get, the sicker 

we get. What is more true is that the 

older we get, the healthier we have 

been. 

Until we get epigenetic control 

for silencing or activating genes, getting 

older will remain hard work. Old 

age is no picnic, it is not for sissies. 

The number of changes, transitions 

and losses may be huge. The longer 

we live, the more we lose. We have to 

build resilience and be resourceful in 

finding healthy ways of coping with 

challenges when times get tough. We 

should strive to die young but as late 

as possible.

B OOK BEAT 

Debut Novelist to Celebrate Launch in Brooklyn 

By Samantha Samel 


Set in 1920s Manhattan, Suzanne 

Rindell’s much anticipated 

debut novel “The Other Typist” follows 

Rose Baker, a typist in a New 

York City Police Department precinct 

on the Lower East Side. In 

this enchanting, sometimes eerie 

story, Rose struggles to assert her 

identity as a woman torn between 

her role in the interrogation room 

– where, through her recordings of 

crimes, she has the power to determine 

men’s fates – and her role 

outside the interrogation room – 

where she is constantly reminded 

that she is of the weaker sex, subjecting 

to demands to file papers 

and make coffee. 

When Odalie, a glamorous woman, 

joins Rose’s office, Rose becomes 

captivated by her new colleague. 

The two women juggle their professional 

and personal lives, navigating 

the shifting spaces that women 

occupy in both settings, and Rose 

struggles to cope with the unhealthy 

obsession she develops with Odalie. 

At a pre-pub party at Manhattan’s 

Algonquin Round Table, Rindell read 

from her novel, which will be released 

on May 7. She introduced her 

book with a Dorothy Parker quote 

that was relevant to both the novel 

and the venue (which originated as a 

meeting spot for such literary figures 

as Parker and Robert E. Sherwood): “I 

wish I could drink like a lady / I can 

take one or two at the most / Three 

Suzanne Rindell. Photo by Emily Kate Roemer 

and I’m under the table / Four and 

I’m under the host.” 

Rindell went on to describe the 

tense atmosphere that pervades 

Rose Baker’s life. While the conventions 

that women in New York City 

conform to are certainly changing 

for the better, Rose still seeks comfort 

in the Victorian ideals of sisterhood. 

“Rose is very prim and proper,” 

Rindell explained. “I have a lot of 

sympathy for her,” she said, referring 

to Rose’s intense fixation on Odalie. 

“Lonely people do strange things.” 

Likening her two main characters 

to the cocktails created for the 

event, Rindell said, “Rose I wanted 

to be a bit crisper and cleaner 

– a little less fun than the Odalie – 

which is dangerous if you drink the 

whole thing!” 

Rindell will appear in Brooklyn 

on Wednesday, May 8, to celebrate 

the release of her novel at Book- 

Court. In anticipation, Brooklyn Eagle 

spoke with the author about her 

inspiration for “The Other Typist.” 

She shares with us her writing routine, 

as well as a preview of what 

she’s working on now. 

What inspired you to write this 

story? 

I was working on my dissertation 

and was immersed in 1920s 

literature. In the course of my research, 

I came upon an obituary of a 

woman who had worked as a typist 

in a police precinct during the '20s, 

and I began imagining what her life 

might've been like... the things she 

might've seen and the reports she 

might've typed. Soon after that, I began 

hearing Rose's voice, and I was 

compelled to listen and see where it 

was going. So I guess it was a combination 

of having laid down a research 

foundation in the period, and 

then having a character I found interesting 

emerge. I'm always drawn 

to character-driven stories, and Rose 

had a strong personality from the 

start. 

Did you spend much time researching 

the era – particularly life 

in New York City during the era? 

I guess so, but as I mentioned 

above, that's because I was already 

working on an academic dissertation 

in the era. I didn't know I was 

writing a novel until it was really 

sort of writing itself! And when it 

comes to New York, I have a sort of 

love affair with this city. It's like no 

other city in the world, and I've always 

been intrigued with the particular 

ingredients that have gone into 

its making. I love checking out the 

photo archives at the local libraries, 

or going to the various historical museums 

that can be found in town. 

Both Rose and Odalie are such 

well-developed and crucial characters. 

Did you develop them simultaneously 

or did you have one particular 

character in mind at the outset? 

When I started, I had Rose's voice 

and an image of Odalie stuck in my 

head. I understood Odalie would be 

the object upon which Rose would 

fixate. And then I had that scene in 

the epilogue – SPOILER ALERT – the 

one where Rose cuts off her hair. I 

knew I wanted to end up in that particular 

scene, and then it became a 

question of figuring out how. 

What does your typical day of 

writing entail? 

It's helpful to treat it like a regular 

job. Monday through Friday, I try 

to get up, get coffee, and sit down to 

write. If my desk at home is not doing 

the trick for me, sometimes I go 

to a shared writers' space where I'm 

a member, and work there. Two other 

things that are part of the routine 

are (1) rereading books I admire and 

trying to dissect what makes them 

so damn good, and (2) allowing myself 

time to daydream. The daydreaming 

feels lazy but it's actually 

really important. I've always needed 

to picture my stories playing out like 

a film in my head before I can write 

them down. 

What are you working on now? 

A second novel, set in Greenwich 

Village in the 1950s, centering 

around the beatnik/publishing industry 

scene. I'm having a lot of fun 

so far with this new set of characters.

Bring It Home, Nets! 

Brooklyn in Position To Set Up Game 7 at Barclays 

By John Torenli, 

Sports Editor 


It's been more than 56 years since 

Brooklyn hosted the ultimate contest 

in major pro team sports: A Game 7. 

With a victory Thursday night in 

Chicago, the Nets have an opportunity 

to provide our borough's ever-faithful, 

ever-longing sporting fanatics with 

a winner-take-all battle for the right to 

open the Eastern Conference semifinals 

against the defending NBA champion 

Miami Heat next Monday night 

in South Beach. 

According to P.J. Carlesimo, the 

Nets' interim coach who guided the 

team to its first playoff appearance 

since 2007 after replacing Avery Johnson 

in late December. Brooklyn is 

poised and ready to post its first win 

in five visits to the Windy City this 

season. 

"I really believe that both teams legitimately 

feel that they're better than 

the other team," Carlesimo said during 

Tuesday's media teleconference, one 

day after the Nets bravely staved off 

elimination with a 110-91 gut-check victory 

in Game 5 on the corners of Atlantic 

and Flatbush avenues. "Both think 

they're capable of winning. It's not convincing 

anybody that they're better 

than the other team or that they can 

win. It's just, 'Let's go out and play the 

game and see what happens.' I think 

there's enough legitimate confidence 

on both sides to go around." 

The Nets could set up an epic 

duel at the Barclays Center on Saturday 

night, marking the first Game 7 in 

Brooklyn since the Dodgers lost the finale 

of the 1956 World Series to the hated 

Yankees with a lopsided 9-0 defeat. 

Of course, it was only one year earlier 

that “Dem Bums” finally got off 

the schneid against the dynastic Bronx 

Bombers as Johnny Podres blanked 

the Yanks for an historic 2-0 victory in 

Game 7 of the 1955 Fall Classic at "The 

House That Ruth Built.” 

Those Dodgers, anchored by 

the legendary likes of Jackie Robinson, 

Duke Snider, Pee Wee Reese, Gil 

Hodges and Roy Campenella, had taken 

their share of lumps on the road 

to what turned out to be Brooklyn's 

one and, thus far, only world championship. 

These Nets, put together during a 

$330 million summer spending spree 

by general manager Billy King, are dipping 

their toes in the post-season water 

together for the very first time. And 

as evidenced by last Saturday's epic 

Game 4 collapse in Chicago, they still 

may have a lot to learn about playoff 

basketball. 

But learning comes only with experience, 

and the Nets have certainly 

endured their share of ups and 

downs en route to Game 6, growing 

exponentially in the process. 

The only question is, can they force 

the Bulls to take one more Brooklyn-bound 

trip to O'Hare Airport on 

Thursday night? 

"The teams that have been together 

and been through playoff situations, 

and particularly the ones that have enjoyed 

success in the playoffs, that's just 

one more little plus for those teams going 

in," Carlesimo admitted. 

Nets interim coach P.J. Carlesimo believes his Nets are confident enough to become 

just the ninth team in NBA history to overcome a 3-1 playoff series deficit. 

"It doesn't ensure anything, but 

it's something you'd like to have," the 

63-year-old coaching sage added. "And 

the only way you acquire it is by going 

through the process. How do you 

acquire experience? You go out and 

you do it. This is really beneficial 

for us. It's the only good thing about 

playing long series. Everybody would 

love a four-game series, but these are 

really good to go through as a learning 

experience and will serve us well 

hopefully not just this week going 

forward, but in the future." 

The future appears to be now for 

Carlesimo, who isn't likely to return to 

his post if the Nets get bounced by the 

banged up Bulls, who have been without 

reigning NBA MVP Derrick Rose 

for the entire season and were missing 

starting point guard Kirk Heinrich 

in Game 5. Add starting All-Star center 

Joakim Noah's injured right foot to the 

mix, and Chicago suddenly appears to 

be the team desperate for a victory. 

"It's a must-win for us," intimated 

Bulls guard Nate Robinson, who broke 

Brooklyn's collective heart with an otherworldly 

34-point effort in Chicago's 

triple-overtime come-from-behind win 

Saturday. 

Having blown the Bulls away in 

Game 1, only to lose the next three 

games, the Nets are now painfully 

aware of how swiftly a team can go 

from seemingly in control to the brink 

of elimination at this time of year. 

That may prove to have been the 

most valuable lesson they learned during 

what owner Mikhail Prokhorov 

proclaimed was "just the beginning" of 

their post-season run prior to the series 

opener. 

'Our back's against the wall right 

now,'' Brooklyn's Gerald Wallace noted. 

''We're in a fighting spirit. We're a 

fighting team. We're not ready to go 

home. We feel like we're better than 

this team. We just let some games 

slip away, so we feel like we're good 

enough and a better team that we can 

come back and win three games in a 

row just like they did.'' 

The Bulls, hobbled and visibly exhausted 

at the end of Game 5, don't appear 

to have the same snarl they possessed 

after humbling the Nets on the 

path to a 3-1 series lead. 

When word leaked out through a 

Chicago beat reporter during halftime 

of Game 4 that the Bulls wanted a firstround 

matchup with the Nets because 

they thought Brooklyn was “heartless 

and gutless,” an already heated series 

got amped up to another level. 

Noah, a former star at Bay Ridge's 

Poly Prep High School, understands 

the importance of shaking off Chicago's 

brutal performance down the 

stretch in Game 5. 

'I don't know,'' Noah admitted 

when asked if momentum in the series 

had shifted back in Brooklyn's favor. 

''Every game is huge in the playoffs. 

You win, you feel great. Sky high. When 

you lose, you know you feel like [garbage]. 

So it's on us to not take anything 

for granted and be ready for a big Game 

6 at home.'' 

Dating to last year's lockout-shortened 

campaign, the Nets haven't won a 

game in Chicago since Feb. 18, 2012, but 

Chicago coach Tom Thibodeau isn't 

putting much stock in the Bulls' recent 

home success in the series. 

''Home court is not going to win 

it for us,'' Thibodeau said. ''We're going 

to have to play well. So the important 

thing is, it's good to be home, we 

have good support there, but we've got 

to put the work into the game to give 

our fans something to cheer about. So 

we can't get it clouded. We have to get 

things corrected.'' 

Joe Johnson, who like Noah has 

been playing through plantar fasciatis, 

may best exemplify the grit and resolve 

Brooklyn has displayed in not 

going quietly against the more sea-

night, setting up the first Game 7 in our borough since the 1956 World Series.

soned Bulls, who are in the midst of 

their fifth consecutive playoff run and 

eighth in nine years. 

"Joe's not moving quite the way 

we're used to seeing Joe move, but he's 

playing big minutes," Carlesimo said. 

"He's given us enormous minutes and 

really good production. He's playing 

big minutes in an affected medical situation. 

He's handling it real well." 

The six-time All-Star shooting 

guard drained a pair of clutch jumpers 

at the end of the first overtime in 

Game 4, giving the Nets some life following 

their epic collapse at the end of 

the regulation. 

One of the best late-game threats 

in the NBA this season, Johnson, limping 

his way through 39 minutes in 

Point guard Deron Williams will have to be at his best Thursday night if the Nets 

hope to force a seventh and decisive game against the Bulls. 

Game 5, was proof positive that Brooklyn 

still has plenty of bounce in its step. 

The Nets are hopeful they can 

force this series home for what may 

just be the most memorable night of 

an unforgettable first season here. 

To paraphrase former Knicks center 

Patrick Ewing, we'll see you Saturday 

night. 

*** 

Hoop du Jour: G Hinrich, who suffered 

a bruised left calf in Game 4, was 

wearing a walking boot Tuesday and 

his status for Game 6 remains a gametime 

decision.... G Watson, who was 

Derrick Rose's backup in Chicago before 

landing in Brooklyn, has an ongoing 

feud with Bulls G Robinson. The 

two tussled their way into the scorer's 

table in Game 4, drawing double technicals. 

Carlesimo addressed the heated 

one-on-one rivalry during Tuesday's 

teleconference. "They're both playing 

with a lot of emotion, and they're both 

playing very well," he said. "It seems to 

have had a positive impact on both 

of them, rather than have them try to 

do too much or get frustrated or let 

their emotions get the best of them. 

They both seem to be feeding off it 

in a positive way. I think C.J. is playing 

very, very well right now, as well 

as he's played at any point, but I don't 

want to minimize all the good games 

he's had during the regular season either."... 

C Andray Blatche, who scored 

10 of his 13 points during Brooklyn's 

game-turning fourth-quarter surge in 

Game 5, is dealing with a nagging left 

calf as Game 6 approaches. "(It's) sore, 

very sore," Carlesimo admitted. "I don't 

know if 'cramping up' is the right term, 

but I almost got him out at the timeout 

that was under three minutes, and 

then again after. (Athletic trainer Tim 

Walsh) was working on his calf during 

the timeouts. He was obviously affected, 

but he didn't want to come out and 

he was playing well, so we stayed with 

it."... Though he's got his own wounded 

warriors to deal with, Carlesimo 

praised Noah for his ongoing tenacity 

on the court despite a severe foot injury. 

"He's one of those guys you've got to 

put a wood stake through his heart," he 

said of the former Blue Devil. "Whether 

he's hurt or he's limping or whatever, 

on the next play he's always apt to 

beat you. It wasn't 'Oh, look he's injured 

– let's go at him!' Not at all."

2013 ‘Sacred Sites’ Churches 

Figure Prominently into 

History of Brooklyn 

By Francesca Norsen Tate 


This year’s Sacred Sites Open 

House Weekend, coming up on 

May 18 and 19, features four Brooklyn 

churches, one of which marks 

its centennial this year. Another of 

these landmark buildings, Grace 

Church-Brooklyn Heights, which 

celebrates its 166th anniversary this 

year, has just begun a major renovation 

and restoration project. 

The Landmarks Conservancy’s 

third annual Sacred Sites Open 

House Weekend offers an occasion 

for culturally important religious institutions 

throughout the city and 

state to open their doors to the public 

and introduce people to remarkable 

art and architecture they would 

not normally have the opportunity 

to discover. Congregations participating 

in the weekend present their 

history and showcase the cultural 

and social service programs that they 

provide to the wider community. 

“Religious art and architecture 

is perhaps our greatest creative 

achievement. Nowhere in the United 

States is this better demonstrated 

than right here in New York, with its 

rich diversity of religions and ecclesiastical 

buildings,” says Peg Breen, 

president of the Landmarks Conservancy. 

“The Open House Weekend is 

a wonderful opportunity to truly be 

a tourist in your own town.” 

The Conservancy’s Sacred Sites 

program is the only statewide program 

in the country providing financial 

and technical assistance 

for the restoration of culturally significant 

religious properties. Since 

1986, the program has disbursed 

grants of more than $7.7 million to 

700 congregations, regardless of denomination. 

Grace Church-Brooklyn Heights 

closed its sanctuary to worship on 

the day after Easter to begin the preparatory 

work for a major roof replacement 

and renovation project. 

Meanwhile, parishioners worship in 

the Guild Hall, which has been transformed 

into an attractive and conducive 

worship space. During the 

past month, workers have removed 

the organ pipes and console from 

the sanctuary, in what has been de- 

scribed as meticulous preparation 

steps. Actual work on the building 

is expected to begin by June. Cochair 

of the Renovation and Restoration 

Committee, Margaret Monsor, 

has confirmed that Grace Church is 

still participating in the Sacred Sites 

weekend. 

First Unitarian Congregational 

Society-Brooklyn celebrates its 180th 

anniversary this year. The new congregation 

was established on June 19, 

1833, when 10 men convened at 106 

Nassau St., the home of Josiah and 

Rebecca Dow, to agree on the need 

for a Unitarian Church in Brooklyn 

so that they no longer had to endure 

the ferry commute from Manhattan, 

according to Olive Hoogenboom’s 

book, The First Unitarian Church of 

Brooklyn: The First One Hundred Fifty 

Years, published in 1987. Hoogenboom 

reports that these founders 

were “tired of sermons and services 

which shocked their very reason and 

outraged their best feelings.” 

Grace Church Brooklyn Heights (Episcopal), located at 254 Hicks Street, was designed 

by renowned Gothic Revival architect Richard Upjohn and constructed 

in 1847-1849. The sanctuary features figural stained glass memorial windows by 

many prominent studios, including three windows by the Tiffany studios. This interior 

photo of the sanctuary, shot from the balcony, was shot before the organ 

was removed in preparation for a roof replacement and renovation.

The present church building 

and its adjoining chapel came later. 

The plans of architect Richard Upjohn 

did not meet with the congregation’s 

approval, and his Episcopalian 

viewpoint was not compatible 

with theirs. They finally decided to 

work with architect Minard Lafever, 

a fellow Unitarian. He designed 

the church – which, at the time was 

called Church of the Saviour – and 

construction was completed in 1844. 

Plymouth Church (formerly 

called Plymouth Church of the Pilgrims 

from when the two congregations 

had merged in the mid-20th 

century), was founded in 1847. Fiery 

abolitionist Henry Ward Beecher 

preached here from 1847 until 1887. 

First Unitarian Congregational Society, 

48 Monroe Place, Brooklyn was erected 

in 1844 in the Gothic Revival style 

by Minard Lafever. The design of the 

building was loosely based on late- 

English Gothic prototypes, such as 

Kings College Chapel on Cambridge.

Among the thousands of worshipers 

who came to hear him were Mark 

Twain and Walt Whitman. 

South Bushwick Reformed 

Church, located at 15 Himrod St., was 

constructed in a park-like setting 

by Cornelius Woglom in 1853. The 

wood-frame church is unusual in its 

combination of austere Greek Revival 

forms and is crowned with a Georgian-inspired 

tower and steeple. 

This year’s Open House is being 

sponsored by EverGreene Architectural 

Arts, one of the country’s 

premier full-service companies 

in the restoration of historic religious 

buildings, along with Walter 

Sedovic Architects, pioneers of sustainable 

preservation and a firm 

deeply engaged in the practice of 

combining tradition and innovation 

in technology. Faith & Form, 

the Interfaith Journal on Religion, 

Art and Architecture, is the media 

sponsor. Faith & Form is affiliated 

with the Interfaith Forum on Religion, 

Art and Architecture (IFRAA), 

part of the American Institute of Architects 

(AIA). EverGreene Architectural 

Arts has pioneered the restoration 

of sacred spaces for more than 

30 years. 

The New York Landmarks Conservancy 

has led the effort to preserve 

and protect New York’s architectural 

legacy for 40 years. Since 

its founding, the Conservancy has 

loaned and granted more than $40

St. Athanasius Church 

Celebrates Its Centennial 

This Thursday, May 2, on the 

Feast of Day of St. Athanasius, a Bensonhurst 

parish named for him celebrates 

its centennial. The parish 

was founded on December 7, 1913 

according to a history on its website, 

http://stathanasiusbrooklyn.org. 

Construction on the parish’s newer 

church, on Bay Parkway, began in 

1961, with dedication in 1963 upon 

its completion. As Vatican II allowed 

for Mass to be celebrated in the vernacular 

instead of only in Latin, English 

and Italian Apostolates were established. 

St. Athanasius is a major 

parish in Bensonhurst, with Masses 

offered in English, Italian and 

Spanish. St. Athanasius has a thriving 

grammar school serving Catholic 

and non-Catholic children alike 

with an innovative Religious Education 

Program, serving children, their 

families and adults. The parish additionally 

offers many opportunities 

for fellowship, spiritual growth, and 

community service. 

The pastor is Msgr. David Cassato. 

The Centennial Mass will be 

a trilingual liturgy (English, Italian 

and Spanish) starting at 7 p.m. 

Brooklyn Auxiliary Bishop Raymond 

Chappetto will be the celebrant. 

Chief Joseph Esposito is the 

honoree. Special guests will also be 

recognized.

Family Court Celebrates Troubled Kids’ Achievements 

By Rob Abruzzese 


Eight years ago, Jim St. Germain 

never thought he would be speaking 

in front of an audience at the 

Kings County Family Courthouse – 

the very courthouse where he was 

ordered to spend a year in a Boys 

Town-monitored family home for 

violating the law. 

“[There were] many times I was 

arrested,” St. Germain recalled at 

yesterday's Family Court Law Day 

Celebration. The day that St. Germain 

was sentenced to Boys Town 

was the day that changed his life. 

“I was sentenced to a year at Boys 

Town, which started me on the 

path that I am today,” he said. 

To celebrate this year's Law Day, 

a day meant to reflect on the role 

and importance of the law, Family 

Court selected as its keynote speaker 

a young man who has been successful 

in completing an alternative-sentencing 

program and who 

subsequently changed the course 

of his life. St. Germain is one of the 

many success stories from Family 

Court. 

St. Germain retold his journey 

that took him from the street corners 

of Brooklyn to Boys Town, 

back to high school, and eventually 

to John Jay College, where he 

earned a degree in political science. 

He is now planning to attend law 

school. 

“I’m really filled with pride and 

joy at this moment,” said Family 

Court Supervising Judge Jeanette 

Ruiz, as she fought back tears of joy. 

Jim St. Germain, the keynote speaker at the Family Court's Law Day, described 

himself as a “firefighter” because while others run away from troubled kids, he 

runs towards them. 

Nyell Lopez (second from left) was the Family Court's Law Day essay winner. Also pictured from left to right: Hon. Jeanette 

Ruiz, Hon. Dean Kusakabe, Hon. Daniel Turbow and Hon. Alan Beckoff. Eagle photos by Rob Abruzzese 

“I want to thank Jim for not only 

sharing his story, but also challenging 

us to be our best.” 

Also participating in the Law 

Day celebration was Nyell Lopez, 

a student at the Urban Assembly 

School for Law and Justice. Lopez, 

who won a Law Day essay contest, 

read from her winning essay, which 

touched on the need to expand the 

focus of equal rights to include students 

of color who are lagging behind 

educationally. 

Hon. Alan Beckoff also furthered 

Lopez's theme of equality in 

a speech that looked back at the his- 

tory of law and how it has built up 

equality from Thomas Jefferson to 

Abraham Lincoln to Martin Luther 

King Jr. through today. 

Paul Anthony was recognized 

with a Probation Recognition 

Award for not only making it 

through his probation, but for serving 

as a role model for other troubled 

youths since then. Anthony 

runs a boxing program called “Give 

a Kid a Dream,” where he mentors 

kids and teaches them to box. 

“Paul Anthony is a great story of 

what can happen when you make 

the right choices,” Probation Officer 

Josee Septimus said as Anthony was 

presented with his award. “Anthony 

is not only mentoring children, 

but he’s also doing great things with 

his life. 

“He recently fought, and won, in 

Golden Gloves at the Barclays Center. 

He has also enrolled at Flushing 

High School in Queens, where 

he is a senior and expects to graduate 

this year.” 

Yesterday's event also featured 

an acoustic music set by Family 

Court Officer Sgt. Fannelle Collette, 

Evan Gold, Keith Sammut and 

Glenn Spivack. 

H.S. Students Embrace ‘Be the Change’ at Law Day 

By Rob Abruzzese 


When Faiza Almontesar came to 

America six years ago, her first taste 

of life as an American teenager was 

harsh. She was picked on, had her traditional 

hijab torn off her head, and 

was called a terrorist by fellow classmates. 

Almontesar turned to poetry as 

an outlet and has been on a mission 

to help other immigrant children as 

they transition to American life. Her 

work in this realm was noticed and 

Almontesar was asked to speak at the 

King County Civil Court's Law Day 

celebration yesterday afternoon. 

Almontesar, who is from Yemen, 

read a moving poem about equality 

called “Identity” and reminded the audience 

that race or religion notwithstanding, 

we all have much in com- 

mon. The poem's topic tied in perfectly 

with the Civil Court's Law Day theme, 

“Be the Change.” Furthering the “Be 

the Change” motif, the court invited 

seniors from the Brooklyn School of 

International Studies to give speeches 

on the ways in which they have overcome 

their own difficulties. 

“These are very bright kids who 

have already gone through quite a lot 

in their own young lives,” Hon. Lisa 

S. Ottley said. “We invited them here 

because we felt that they are the perfect 

example of people who, through 

change, have been able to overcome 

some of the obstacles they have dealt 

with.” 

BSIS is a school for immigrant 

students who are learning English as 

a second language and have been in 

the country for less than four years. 

Students represented the countries 

Participating in the Civil Court’s Law Day are, left to right: Steevenstom Joseph, Holly Peck, the incoming president of the Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association, Luzmilla Guillaume, 

Juanelvis Paulino, Hon. Lisa S. Ottley, Ms. Laura Beson, Sofia Contreras (sitting), Yangzom Lhamo, Oumamatou Diallo, Faiza Almontesar, Jose Tochimani and Farzana Boby. 

of El Salvador, Guinea, Yemen, Bangladesh, 

Dominican Republic, Haiti 

and Mexico. 

Jose Tochimani spoke about his 

time working in the fields picking 

onions and cucumbers in Mexico as 

a child and how that experience continues 

to inspire him to try to help 

other children. 

Steevenstom Joseph asked the 

audience to think about how their 

lives are privileged and compared 

it to his life growing up in Haiti. He 

explained that he uses the drive of 

those that have overcome adversity 

to fuel his drive and passion to pursue 

a nursing career. 

Farzana Boby, from Bangladesh, 

spoke about working to try to get immigrants 

who work and pay taxes in 

America the right to vote. 

Juanelvis Paulino, from the Dominican 

Republic, was unaware that 

non-foreign kids also suffered from 

bullying, similar to the ways immigrant 

students are bullied in American 

schools. After viewing the film 

“Bully,” Paulino gained a new perspective 

and he has joined various 

anti-bullying programs. 

After the presentations, a panel 

of BSIS students including Sofia Contreras 

from El Salvador, Oumamatou 

Diallo from Guinea and Luzmilla 

Guillaume from Dominican Republic, 

responded to audience questions. 

“These students, who are all off 

to college in the fall, really do represent 

the ideals of the slogan `Be the 

Change,’ said Laura Beson, a government 

and economics teacher at BSIS. 

“Each of them, through their actions, 

demonstrates how to be an active 

participant in this country.” 


FROM THE 

BROOKLYN 

AERIE 

A Weekly Column of Trivia 

and Observations 

By David Ansel Weiss 

No one seemed to know 

how to address Martha 

Washington when George 

Washington was elected 

our first President. The 

term often used — “Lady 

Washington.” 

 

When, in the mid-19th 

century, Brooklyn’s Volunteer 

Fire Department started 

using its first four-wheel hose 

carrier, it was the volunteers 

who drew the carrier through 

the streets — not horses. 

 

You would think that 

when the subways first 

reached Coney Island in 

1915, it would take less 

time for Manhattanites to 

travel there, but this was 

not the case. Some of the 

ferries in the 19th century 

were able to make the trip 

in one hour of travel time, 

not much different than the 

subways do today. 

 

One of the most visible 

anti-Semites in the late 19th 

century was Austin Corbin, a 

financier who among other 

things was president of the 

Long Island Rail Road and 

owner of the elite Brighton 

Beach Hotel in Brighton 

Beach. In an interview published 

in the New York Times 

he vented his anger at 

“Hebrews,” talked about the 

organization he founded 

“The Society for the 

Prevention of Jews,” and said 

no Jew would be allowed to 

register in his hotel. 

 

One of Brooklyn’s greatest 

philanthropists in the mid- 

19th century was Cornelius 

Heeney — among other 

things he founded the 

Brooklyn Benevolent Society 

— who didn’t confine his 

charity to his native city. He 

was one of the major contrib- 

utors to the fund raised to 

construct St. Patrick’s 

Cathedral in Manhattan. 

 

Clermont was actually 

the second name given to 

the world’s first commercially 

successful steamboat that 

Robert Fulton sailed up the 

Hudson River in 1807. Its 

original name was North 

River Steamboat. 

 

If you want to know who 

were the “Blue Noses” who 

in the 1930s emigrated to 

Brooklyn and settled 

around Prospect Park West, 

where they were fishermen 

who came to work on the 

fishing boats out of 

Sheepshead Bay. 

 

When the British established 

Kings County in 1683, 

they chose Flatbush as the 

county seat, not Brooklyn. 

 

Overnight, when the 

Consolidation took place in 

1898 merging Brooklyn, 

Manhattan, Queens, the 

Bronx and Staten Island into 

Greater New York, the new 

city, with its 327 square 

miles and an almost 2.5 million 

population, became the 

second biggest city in the 

world, topped only by 

London, England. 

 

When the demolition 

company started to tear 

16 • INBrooklyn INBrooklyn—Section – Section of of Brooklyn Daily Daily Eagle/ Eagle/Brooklyn Brooklyn Eagle/Brooklyn Heights Heights Press • Press May 2, • 2013 

May 2, 2013 

down Ebbets Field in 1960, it 

painted its wrecking ball to 

resemble a baseball. 

 

No one knows how a 

watercolor map of Brooklyn 

made in the 17th century 

by Jacques Cortelyou, the 

surveyor general of New 

Amsterdam, turned up in 

an Italian villa in the 1930s, 

but it did, and because the 

villa had the name of Villa 

Castello, that is the name 

given to the map, i.e. the 

Costello Plan. 

 

Washington Roebling, the 

chief engineer of the Brooklyn 

Bridge, saw no need for the 

gala celebration held at the 

Bridge’s opening in 1883 

when everything else in New 

York and Brooklyn shut down, 

and among the many celebrities 

attending were the 

President of the United States 

Chester Arthur and the 

Governor of New York, 

Grover Cleveland, “What’s all 

the fuss about?” he asked. 

“Why don’t they just post a 

sign that says ‘It’s Open.’”

Lawyers Required to Report Pro Bono Hours 

By Charisma L. Miller, Esq. 


New York State Chief Judge 

Jonathan Lippman has announced a 

new reporting requirement for New 

York attorneys. Beginning this 

month, attorneys must report the 

amount of hours spent providing free 

volunteer legal services and the 

amount of financial contributions 

made to organizations that provide 

legal services to the under-served. 

“While the legal profession in 

our state selflessly provides millions 

of hours of pro bono work to help 

people of limited means each year, 

the civil legal needs of low-income 

New Yorkers are enormous and continue 

to grow as a result of the uncertain 

economy and the recent devastation 

of Superstorm Sandy,” Lippman 

said in a statement. 

The new reporting requirements 

of Part 118 and Rule 6.1 of the Rules 

of Professional Conduct were based 

on the recommendations of the Task 


Force to Expand Access to Civil 

Legal Services in New York. 

According to the Task Force, New 

York joins seven other states that 

have instituted pro bono reporting 

requirements to promote and encour- 

age pro bono participation. 

New York does not require that 

attorneys provide volunteer legal 

services, but there is a benchmark for 

the suggested amount of hours an 

attorney should spend providing 

legal help to those in need. It is recommended 

that an attorney provide 

20 pro bono hours a year; that benchmark 

has been increased to 50 hours. 

The increase in suggested pro 

bono hours is a result of a recent 

American Bar Association survey of 

pro bono participation in New York. 

The survey revealed that the average 

attorney already performs 66 hours 

of pro bono each year. 

Lippman has made pro bono 

service a priority. As previously 

reported by the Brooklyn Daily 

Eagle, New York became the first 

state to require lawyers to perform 50 

hours of pro bono work as a condition 

for getting a license. Law students 

sitting for the bar exam in 2015 

will have to show that they have 

performed the mandated pro bono 

hours before they can sit for the New 

York State Bar Exam. The new rule 

is aimed at helping to fill the legal 

needs of New York’s poor. 

“I have every confidence that the 

steps we take today will help 

increase pro bono service and narrow 

the enormous access to justice 

gap in our state,” Lippman stated. 

Currently, while New York 

lawyers are required to report their 

pro bono hours, providing volunteer 

free legal services is still a suggested 

recommendation and is not mandated 

for licensed New York attorneys. 

Brooklyn attorney Bruce Baron 

said, “Chief Judge Jonathan 

Lippman is a true visionary enhancing 

the groundwork for New York 

State lawyers and their pro bono 

activities. All of us fortunate enough 

to be members of this noble profession 

should be committed to serving 

the disadvantaged and those less fortunate 

whenever possible.” 

Lawyer Cautioned by Brooklyn Appellate 

Division Suspended for ‘Lying Addiction’ 

By Charisma L. Miller, Esq. 


Nathaniel Weisel, a New York 

attorney, has been suspended from 

the practice of law for a period of 

nine months for forging documents, 

neglecting client matters, and lying 

to a client. 

A client retained Weisel, a solo 

practitioner, in 2009 to commence a 

civil action. Weisel neglected to 

begin the lawsuit as his client 

requested and repeatedly assured 

the client that Weisel had everything 

under control. In an attempt to 

persuade his client that the matter 

Jonathan Lippman 

NY State Chief Judge 

was being handled, Weisel created a 

fake stipulation of settlement document 

and included a false index 

number, caption and settlement 

amount, essentially making a fraudulent 

court document appear official. 

Weisel went so far as to 

choose an attorney at random as his 

opposing counsel and forged his 

signature at the bottom of the fake 

stipulation of settlement. 

Weisel never filed this false document 

with the court. 

His fraud was eventually 

revealed when the “opposing counsel’ 

discovered that Weisel forged 

State Bar President James Marks 

Law Day by Calling for Justice 

Evoking the legacies of 

President Abraham Lincoln and 

Martin Luther King, Jr., New York 

State Bar Association President 

Seymour W. James Jr., a Brooklyn 

resident, said on Wednesday that 

“we must continue to strive for full 

equality under the law.” 

At a Law Day ceremony at the 

state Court of Appeals in Albany, 

James said that 2013 marks the 

150th anniversary of Lincoln’s 

Emancipation Proclamation and the 

50th anniversary of King’s “I Have a 

Dream” speech delivered on the 

steps of the Lincoln Memorial. 

Both events “are momentous 

symbols of our progress,” observed 

James. “But they also represent a 

continuing call to action — to remain 

aware of persistent injustice, and to 

use whatever tools we can to fight 

discrimination and promote equality. 

“Our nation eradicated the legal 

slave trade nearly 150 years ago, but 

today human trafficking continues to 

pose a terrible affront to human 

rights in the United States and across 

the globe. 

“We have eliminated Jim Crow 

laws, but discrimination persists 

against disadvantaged and marginalized 

groups,” he said. 

Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman 

opened the annual Law Day ceremony 

attended by his colleagues on the 

Court of Appeals, Attorney General 

Eric Schneiderman and other elected 

Seymour James, president,

his signature on a fake document. 

Weisel explained to the attorney 

that he “did not know how to properly 

file an action on behalf of [his] 

client, and felt this would buy [him] 

time to properly file same.” Weisel 

also wrote that his client claimed 

that he had an “addiction [to] lying” 

similar to a drug addiction. 

This is not Weisel’s first interaction 

with the disciplinary system. 

He has received two letters of caution 

and sanctions from the 

Appellate Division, Second Department, 

for failing to file documents 

in Family Court matters. The presiding 

justice of the 2nd 

Department Appellate Division also 

had Weisel removed from the 18-b 

Panel, the list for selected courtappointed 

attorneys. 

It is against the New York Rules 

of Professional conduct for an attorney 

to engage in dishonest, fraudulent, 

or deceitful conduct or conduct 

that involves misrepresentation, as 

well as neglect client matters. 

officials. The theme of Law Day 

2013 is “Realizing the Dream: 

Equality for All.” 

James said, “This year’s Law 

Day theme encourages us to consider 

the Emancipation Proclamation 

and Dr. King’s famous speech not 

only as important milestones in 

our nation’s history, but also as a 

challenge to remain mindful of the 

progress yet to be made, and to 

continue working toward equality 

for all.” 

Attorneys, he added, “have a special 

responsibility to promote equal 

rights for all Americans.” 

The State Bar Association continues 

to work toward that goal. Its 

Special Committee on Human 

Trafficking soon will release a report 

and recommendations “to ensure fair 

treatment of victims, strict punishment 

of traffickers, and other measures 

to eliminate this form of modern 

day slavery.” 

Representing himself in the disciplinary 

action, Weisel acknowledged 

that he engaged in dishonest conduct 

by admitting that he created the false 

document and presented it to his 

client. The Disciplinary Committee’s 

hearing panel hearing the case noted 

that Weisel’s “admission must be 

taken seriously.” The hearing panel 

further noted, “The thought and planning 

that it took for Respondent to 

fabricate the Stipulation and forge 

another lawyer’s signature cannot be 

overlooked.” 

The Appellate Division, First 

Department, the ultimate arbiter in 

this case, ordered a nine-month suspension 

from the practice of law. In 

addition, Weisel must take and pass 

the ethics portion of the New York 

State Bar Exam before seeking 

readmission “to appropriately 

address his pathological behavior.” 

Justices Richard Andrias, David 

Saxe, Karla Moskowitz, Helen 

Freedman and Sheila Abdus- 

Salaam sat on the panel. 

Many more women, people of 

color and others with diverse backgrounds 

have entered the legal profession 

during the past generation, James 

said. 

“However, we can still see the 

long-lasting effect of discrimination 

on our profession. In our increasingly 

diverse nation and even in our own 

state, the legal profession does not 

look enough like our society.” 

The State Bar Association has 

implemented programs to increase 

diversity within the association as 

well as the profession. This year, it 

will launch an association-wide 

mentoring initiative, co-chaired by 

former Court of Appeals Judge 

Carmen Beauchamp Ciparick and 

incoming State Bar president-elect 

Glenn Lau-Kee of New York City. 

The 76,000-member New York 

State Bar Association is the largest 

voluntary state bar association in the 

nation. It was founded in 1876.
