A former natural gas plant inCarroll Gardens is pollutinggroundwater winding its waybeneath the neighborhood withtoxic chemicals — and expertsdon’t know where it’s going orhow much of a threat it is.
Originated in the marshy ground sur-rounding the former Citizens GasWorks (Public Place) site, a former gasmanufacturing plant on Fifth Street atHoyt Street along the Gowanus Canal,
the polluted groundwater contains poi-sonous coal tar and other dense runoffassociated with industrial manufactur-ing.
The pollutants have also been foundin the canal itself.
This week, researchers working forKeyspan Energy — whose predecessorBrooklyn Union Gas processed andmanufactured natural gas at the site forabout one-hundred years, and which isresponsible for cleaning up the area —began digging up soil along the edge ofthe 11.5-acre site in hopes of findingout exactly where the sludge is headed.
Brooklyn Union discontinued oper-
ations at the site in the 1960s. In 1975,the city took ownership of about halfof the entire oddly shaped parcel,bounded by Fourth Street, Hoyt Street,Fifth Street, Smith Street, HuntingtonPlace and the canal.
“They know [it] is traveling in theSmith Street direction,” said Keyspanspokeswoman Diana.
Found at depths between 10- and150-feet below street level, the contam-inants run in the groundwater in move-ments known as plumes, according toKeyspan.

Assemblyman speaksagainst eminent domainThe Brooklyn Papers
Speaking before fellow state legislators at a hear-ing on eminent domain last Friday, assemblymanRoger Green challenged the legality of exercisingeminent domain in his Prospect Heights district,where up to 11 acres could be condemned to acco-modate Forest City Ratner’s Atlantic Yards project.
“For the record, that neighborhood is not blighted,said Green. “I repeat, that neighborhood is not blighted.”
“Under the definition of blight, as related to pover-ty or environmental degradation, this definition is notrelated to Prospect Heights,” Green told The Brook-lyn Papers afterwards.
Opponents said the statement by Green — who hasbeen a vocal supporter of Forest City Ratner’sproposed 21-acre mega-development — was a blowto Ratner’s case for eminent domain.
“He shot down their argument,” said Patti Hagen, anopposition leader who attended the hearing.
Councilwoman Letitia James, in whose district theAtlantic Yards lies, said Green’s words, bolstered bystate legislation, could affect plans for the housing andoffice development that would also include a profes-sional basketball arena.
“The admission of [Green] that the area is notblighted is wonderful,” said James. “If we can expe-dite the legislative process and a bill is passed in Jan-uary or February, then it can affect the project.”
Green told The Papers that he “wanted to get it onthe record that it is pretty clear that there are

City inspectors have found dan-gerous levels of mercury vapor inthe Williamsburgh Savings Banktower, the landmark building at 1Hanson Place which is being con-verted into luxury condominiumapartments by Earvin “Magic”Johnson’s development company.
The building, across from the LongIsland Rail Road terminal and near theproposed Atlantic Yards mega-develop-ment site, is the tallest in Brooklyn.
The Department of Health (DOH)sampled the air inside of the building onJune 15, one month before Johnson’scompany, Canyon-Johnson Urban Fund,was preparing to demolish the building’sinterior to make way for condos.
In a former dental office on theeighth floor of the 34-story building,the air sampler recorded 2,300-2,400nanograms of mercury vapor per cubicmeter — more than double the levelthat would mandate a government-su-pervised cleanup in a residential unit.
Before Johnson’s company teamedwith developer Dermot Co., to buy the
tower, many dentists offices were lo-cated there. In years past, mercury wasa common ingredient in dental fillings.
In one-third of the locations tested bythe DOH, mercury vapor levels werewell above the governmental safety reg-ulations for residences: 200-300nanograms per cubic meter.
“Every time someone made a filling,he would take a mortar and pestle andmix up a little bit of mercury,” said Ar-nold P. Wendroff, the Brooklyn residentwho requested that the Department of Environmental Protection inspect

BROOKLYN’S REAL NEWSPAPERS
Gentile defeats Russo handilyBy Ariella CohanThe Brooklyn Papers
A close and somewhat bitter matchfor the 43 District City Council seatcame to a fast if not predictable end at9:53 pm on Tuesday night when aDemocratic district leader passed hisBlackberry cell phone over to theincumbent, Vincent Gentile.
“He called me and said ‘this is Pat Russo.I want to tell Vinny he gave a good fight’,”Joe Bova recounted to the Brooklyn Papers,“I passed over the phone.”
It was that simple. Gentile won a third term in the City Coun-
cil Tuesday, besting Republican challengerRusso by 10 percentage points.
“We had been waiting for that call a longtime,“ said Gentile of Russo’s concessionphone call. “Hearing his voice on the phonewas the icing on the cake.”
It was the second race between the twoBay Ridge natives and was the borough’sonly seriously contested council race.
Gentile captured 14,361 votes (55 percent)to Russo’s 11,745 (45 percent), according tounofficial tallies.
“We never worried,” said Diana Castignani,a Gentile supporter who, on Tuesday night,joined him for eggplant Parmesan and cham-pagne at a post-poll bash at the Stars and StripesDemocratic Club on 15th Avenue.
As the party seeped out of the storefrontDemocratic club and onto the avenue, Gen-tile’s supporters spoke jubilantly of the hardwork that had gone into the win.
“I was concerned,” said AssemblywomanJoan Millman, “but we came through.”
“People came in from Downtown to helpand, of course, voters here know what’s bestfor their communities,” she added.
Before Tuesday the race had featuredmentions of Republican Mayor Bloombergand the impact of his popularity on BayRidge voters, a group known to swing be-tween party lines.
The fear that Russo would be able to rideBloomberg’s coattails to victory went unreal-ized.
Furthermore, Bloomberg’s presence at thetop of the ticket may have ended up, for Rus-so, a lump of coal, rather than the bonus hisstrategists predicted.
“Having Bloomberg in the race was a sur-
Councilman Vincent Gentile raises fists in victory during election night celebration at the Stars and Stripes Democratic Club on 15th Avenue.
VINNY: RACE GOT UGLYThe Brooklyn Papers
With victory champagneslicking his hair to his forehead,re-elected city Councilman Vin-cent Gentile called his latestbattle to keep his seat one of thenastiest he’s been in.
“I don’t know if this race wastougher,” said the former state sena-tor who has been finding ways towin contested elections since 1996.“It was certainly more attack filled.
Some of the attacks were below thebelt. That didn’t happen in the lastrace.”
In the last week of the cam-paign, Republican opponent PatRusso distributed pamphlets call-ing his rival a serial abuser, allud-ing to allegations of sexual harass-ment that had been dismissed aftera Council investigation.
The circulars got him in troublewith Gentile ally and boroughpresident Marty Markowitz, who
showed up on Fourth Avenue topublicly dismiss the charge.
“The implication of the flier wastotally disrespectful to the voters inthat district,” said Markowitz in aninterview with The Brooklyn Papersbefore the election.
Russo’s jab at the incumbentmay have only muddled his mes-sage, according to some Ridge ob-servers.
“Most people in my parish, andthat includes the Republicans, are
pretty horrified by that kind of talkeven when it comes from the Re-publican Party,” said Mary Speers,pastor of the Union Church of BayRidge.
“You know it when someonegoes too far,” said Speers. “Mysense is people thought, ‘Ouch! Iwish he hadn’t said that’.”
With his second loss in a rowagainst Gentile, Russo just mightbe feeling the same way.

Crossing Fourth Avenue proved deadly for a 90-year-oldBrooklyn woman this week.
Ray Allan died at Lutheran Medical Center after she wasstruck by an SUV while traversing the busy avenue near 86thStreet at 10:55 am Nov. 7, according to police.
Allan was transported to Lutheran Medical Center in seriouscondition after the accident. She died there a short time later, ac-cording to published reports.
The driver of the car, who remained at the scene until policearrived, was not charged with any violations.
While the intersection of 86th Street and Fourth Avenue hasbeen among the most dangerous pedestrian crossings in theneighborhood, the accident rate has declined there, according toTransportation Alternatives. The activist organization used citycrash data from 1995 through 2001 — the most recent informa-tion available — to develop maps detailing all vehicle collisionswith pedestrians and bicycles citywide.

At Maimonides Medical Center, we decided that
one of the best things we could do for our patients
was to make a substantial commitment to informa-
tion technology. It has proven to be a wise decision.
One that has helped us with the speed and accuracy
with which we care for our
patients.
Maimonides is among
only fi ve percent of hospi-
tals in the nation where physicians and nurses use
computers to enter patient orders, thereby reducing
errors and increasing effi ciency.
Our single-minded focus is to get our patients
back to their normal lives as soon as possible. In fact,
a recent study* shows that hospitals that have ad-
vanced technology are safer and have lower mortal-
ity rates than hospitals that don’t.
As a result of our long-standing commitment to
technology, we were named one of the nation’s 100
“Most Wired” Hospitals and one of the 25 “Most Wire-
less,” by Hospitals & Health Networks, a journal of the
American Hospital Association. Maimonides is the
only hospital in New York State to receive this dual
honor...and we’ve done it two years in a row.

prise factor,” said Rebublican stateSenator Marty Golden, a Russo sup-porter. “We actually thought wemight win this time.”
“Sometimes the polls surpriseyou,” Golden said after welcomingRusso to his Bay Ridge Manor,where the candidate gave a conces-sion speech to some 200 supporters.“A lot more people came out to voteand it made the race tougher.”
In the district, the Republican may-or won 18,546 votes while Democra-tic candidate Freddy Ferrer scored5,744.
“Cleary, Bay Ridge voters knew tocome back down to the Democraticline at the bottom of the ballot,” saida hoarse Gentile.
“All along the race seemed closer,”said Scott Gastel, a former Gentilestaffer who volunteered during thecampaign’s final leg, “but based onthe numbers we were getting back atsome of the polls it seemed that insome [district polling places] Gentiletook in more votes than the mayor.”
Though the mood at the BayRidge Manor could not quite matchthat of the Stars and Stripes Club,Russo and his supporters remainedupbeat. “I listen to the words ofRonald Reagan — ‘we fought, wedreamed and the dream lives on’,”the candidate said.
Before stepping down from thepodium, Russo thanked his wife forfinancially supporting him and theirtwo daughters while he campaignedfull time.
“It was not an easy thing,” he said.“She paid the bills while I playedcandidate for the past 220 days.”
What’s next? Sleep ranked top of the list for both
contestants, along with the ever-lofty“anything is possible.”
After a few moments musing onsleep deprivation, Gentile remem-bered a fight already in the pipes forhis next term, which starts in January.
“A summons for parking in a crosswalk can be $165,” said the Council-man, who in 2003 introduced the billthat eliminated Sunday parking me-ters in October. “That might be thenext fee we have to kick back.”

Problems persist at Horror High By Erin TexeiraAssociated Press
Eighteen-year-old ChenTsu was waiting at Benson-hurst subway platform afterschool when four highschool classmates approa-ched him and demandedcash. He showed them hisempty pockets, but theyattacked him anyway, tak-ing turns pummeling hisface.
He was scared and injured— bruised and swollen forseveral days — but hardlysurprised.
At his school, LafayetteHigh, Chinese immigrant stu-dents like him are harassedand bullied so routinely thatschool officials in June agreedto a Department of Justiceconsent decree to curb alleged“severe and pervasive harass-ment directed at Asian-Ameri-can students by their class-mates.” Since then, the JusticeDepartment credits Lafayetteofficials with addressing theproblem — but the case is farfrom isolated.
Nationwide, Asian studentssay they’re often beaten,threatened and called ethnicslurs by other young people,and school safety data suggestthat the problem may be wors-ening.
Youth advocates say theseAsian teens, stereotyped ashigh-achieving students whorarely fight back, have foryears borne the brunt of ethnictension as Asian communitiesexpand and neighborhoodsbecome more racially diverse.
“We suspect that in areasthat have rapidly growingpopulations of Asian-Ameri-cans, there often times is a sortof culture clashing,” saidAimee Baldillo of the Nation-al Asian Pacific American Le-gal Consortium. Youth harass-ment is “something we seeeverywhere in different pock-
ets of the U.S. where there’s alarge influx of (Asian) peo-ple.”
In the last five years, Cen-sus data show, Asians — most-ly Chinese — have grownfrom 5 percent to nearly 10percent of Brooklyn residents.In the Bensonhurst neighbor-hood, historically home to Ital-ian and Jewish families, morethan 20 percent of residentsnow are Asian. Those changeshave escalated ethnic tensionon campuses such as LafayetteHigh, according to Khin Mai
Aung, staff attorney at theAsian-American Legal De-fense and Education Fund,which is advocating forLafayette students.
“The schools are the oneplace where everyone is forcedto come together,” Aung said.
Brooklyn’s changes mirrorAsian growth nationally.
Between 1980 and 2000,the number of Asians and Pa-cific Islanders grew from 3.7million to nearly 12 million.After Latinos, Asians are thenation’s fastest-growing ethnic
group.Stories of Asian youth being
bullied and worse are com-mon. In recent years:
• A Chinese middle schoolerin San Francisco was merci-lessly taunted until his teacherhid him in her classroom atlunchtime.
• Three Korean-Americanstudents were beaten so badlynear their Queens high schoolthat they skipped school forweeks and begged to be trans-ferred.
• A 16-year-old from Viet-
nam was killed last year in amassive brawl in Boston.
Some lawmakers have re-sponded. The New York CityCouncil, after hearing hours oftestimony from Asian youth,last year passed a bill to trackbullying and train educators onprevention. Also last year, Cal-ifornia Assemblywoman JudyChu won passage of a new lawto allow hate crimes victimsmore time — up to three years— to file civil suits; the billwas inspired by a 2003 SanFrancisco incident in which
five Asian teens were attackedby a mob of youth.
In August, the Oakland-based Asian Pacific IslanderYouth Violence PreventionCenter organized a first-everconference on the subject inSacramento. Isami Arifuku,assistant director of the center,said she expected about 200participants but nearly doublethat number attended.
Experts offer several broadexplanations for the bullyingproblem.
In the broadest strokes,Baldillo said, Asian youth aresometimes small in stature andoften adhere to cultural moresurging them to avoid con-frontation and focus on aca-demics. Many don’t reportbullying because they fearrepercussions or don’t want toembarrass their families, sheadded.
Language barriers also ex-acerbate the situation. “I haveto hear, ‘(Expletive) Chinese!’at least three times a day, andthey always say it to peoplewho look weaker and don’tspeak English,” said RitaZeng, 19, and a senior atLafayette High. The parents oflimited-English students oftenhave little access to translatorsand struggle to advocate fortheir children, Aung said.
Chen Tsu described hisbeating in April at a subwaystation, saying through a trans-lator: “Those guys looked likethey could kill somebody. … Iwas scared to go back toschool.”
Increasingly, some victimsare fighting back.
A 2003 California surveyby the Services and Advocacyfor Asian Youth Consortiumfound that 14 percent of Asianyouth said they join gangs forprotection. Department of Jus-tice school crime data foundthe number of Asian youthcarrying weapons nearlytripled from 1999 to 2001.
“There are more Asian kidsbeing brought to juvenile courtfor assault and battery,” Ari-fuku said. “The thing we’refinding in their history is thatthey had been picked on —called names and teased —and in some cases they lashedout and retaliated.”
Advocates and students saythat, typically, large fightserupt after weeks or months ofverbal taunting.
That’s what happened atEdison High School in Fresno,Calif., according to MalcolmYeung of the Asian Law Cau-cus in San Francisco. Formonths starting late last year,Hmong students had been re-peatedly called names and hadfood thrown at them.
“There had been patterns ofthis happening over and overagain,” said Yeung, whosegroup investigated the case onbehalf of Asian students. “Butthe school had overlooked theissue.”
On Feb. 25, the lunchtimetaunting escalated into fightsinvolving at least 30 students,according to Susan Bedi,spokesman for Fresno UnifiedSchool District. Seven stu-dents were treated for injuries,12 were suspended and twofaced expulsion, she said.Eight were convicted of mis-demeanor assault, said Fresnopolice Sgt. Anthony Martinez.
This year, officials at Edi-son High added more securityand started an on-campus hu-man relations council to ad-dress ethnic tension, Bedi said.
At Lafayette High, tensionhas long been high on campusand in surrounding areas, saidSteve Chung, president of theUnited Chinese Association ofBrooklyn, whose group wasfounded in late 2002 after anearlier student beating. Thatincident “was like the ignition— it started a fire” in the com-munity.
The student, a straight-A
senior, was thrashed to uncon-sciousness while anti-Chineseslurs were yelled at him. Somenews reported dubbed theschool “Horror High,” andChinese students began goingpublic about the problem.
“The more we dug intoLafayette High School, themore we found,” Chung said.
Aung’s probing revealedthat school administratorsseemed reluctant to intervene,translation services for parentsand students was spotty andteachers who reported theproblems may have been pun-ished.
School officials say somereports were exaggerated. But“the problems there went backmany, many years,” saidMichael Best, general counselfor New York City schools.Since signing the consent de-cree in June, he said, “the situ-ation at the school in our viewis very, very different.” A Jus-tice Department spokesmanagreed that the school has been“very responsive.”
Teachers this year are get-ting training to curb harass-ment, translation servicesthroughout the district havebeen beefed up, and race rela-tions experts are working withstudents and staff on campus,deputy New York schoolschancellor Carmen Farinasaid.
Last year, Lafayette’s long-time principal retired, andmany are optimistic about thenew principal, Jolanta Rohloff.In addition, new vice principalIris Chiu is fluent in Chineseand working closely with par-ents and students. “We active-ly sought someone that weknew could handle the delica-cy of the school,” Farina said.
Still, she said, an incident al-ready has been reported sinceschool started: An Asian studentwas attacked by several class-mates on his way to the subway.He suffered minor injuries.

PARENTSetting rulesfor grandma
By Betsy Flagler
Parent-to-ParentQ: How do I gently edu-cate my children’s grand-parents about new trends inchildcare? I love them, butthey think I’m hyper-protec-tive when I put my 7-month-old baby to sleep on herback, that I won’t give hersolids for six months, andthat I child-proof everythingin sight. — a mother
A: Like babies, rules change. Before you know it, baby
will be pulling up, cruisingalong furniture, climbing intobathroom cabinets. She needslove and snuggles in a safehome, not squabbles about out-let covers and breast-feeding.
Young parents struggling tofind their way are often bom-barded with unsolicited opin-ions from strangers as well asrelatives and friends. To copewith “back-in-my-day” com-ments, employ the expertise ofother grandparents.
One grandfather is ArthurKornhaber, MD, head of agrandparenting foundation hestarted 25 years ago. He is au-thor of “The Grandparent Solu-tion” (John Wiley & Sons,2004). Among the subjects inhis book, geared for parents andgrandparents, is the importanceof “drawing the line betweenlove and intrusiveness,” and find-ing the appropriate level of in-volvement for grandparents.(www.grandparenting.org.)
Or highlight parts of booksby two other grandfathers,long-trusted pediatric expertsT. Berry Brazelton, MD andWilliam Sears, MD Offer thebooks to your parents; leavethem on the coffee table. Ormake print-outs from the In-ternet, from the pediatricians’Web sites (www.askdrsears. com).
Another tried-and-true re-source for education justturned 75 this year: The Am-erican Academy of Pediatrics.Consult www.aap.org forevolving guidelines in child-care. One of the organization’srecommendations: Be surethat everyone caring for yourinfant is aware that babiesneed to sleep on their backs.Another: No smoking any-where near baby.
Back sleeping is not up fordebate, nor is it a new trend. Anational “Back to Sleep” cam-paign has been running formore than 10 years.
Since the campaign started,several studies have concludedthat back sleeping reduces therisk of Sudden Infant DeathSyndrome (SIDS) — other-wise unexplainable deaths ofchildren under age 1.
To get infants accustomedto sleeping on their backs,start right away and don’t giveup, says pediatrician Brazel-ton. He is co-author of a trioof small paperbacks to supportparents: “Sleep,” “CalmingYour Fussy Baby” and “Disci-pline” — all the “BrazeltonWay” (Perseus, 2003). As youget to know your baby’s tem-perament and what calms her,the easier it will be to help herlearn to sleep totally on herback without protesting.
Offer a pacifier as a poten-tial way to reduce the risk ofSIDS, suggest medical re-searchers in a new article in“Pediatrics” magazine.
Pacifier use should be forinfants up to age 1, which in-cludes the peak ages for SIDSrisk. The one- to 5-month-oldrange also is when an infant’sneed for sucking is highest,the “Pediatrics” article says.
A recommendation thatgoes hand-in-hand with “backto sleep” is “tummy time.”Under supervision, your babyneeds to play on her stomachon the floor to strengthen herupper-body muscles. Looking
around, holding her head upon a play mat will help avoidthe flat head syndrome thathas been increasing in the pastdecade since many parentsstarted putting babies to sleepon their backs. Don’t leave heralone — not just for safety,but so you won’t miss out onhow she changes so quickly.
As the holidays approach,grandparents who have child-proofed their homes, especial-ly the safe storage of medica-tion and cleaning supplies,will have more time to enjoytheir grandkids.
And with any luck, fromtime to time, your child’s “su-pervisor” for playtime will beher loving grandparents. Noquestions asked.
Can you help?Q: “My 19-month-old son is in
day care, and he will not stop biting.His room has one teacher to abouteight children, and I moved him tothis new place three months agofrom another day care. — a mother

Art teacher Katya Arnoldworks with students year-round and on two continents.
Just like the children at SaintAnn’s School in BrooklynHeights, her students in Thai-land have varying degrees ofskill.
Some hold their paintbrushtightly and make controlledmovements while others havea lighter, looser touch. Somepaint for a few minutes, othersfor an hour. If they’re tired andbored, they simply toss thebrush and walk away.
The main difference comesin her students’ physical ap-pearance: The Brooklyn kidshave cute button noses andfive agile fingers, and the Thaistudents have trunks and over-sized ears — they’re Asianelephants.
Also, she adds with a laugh,“Once you teach an elephantsomething, they never forgetit.” The same can’t always besaid for human pupils.
But Arnold uses the sameteaching techniques in the jun-gle as she does in the classroom.
“I tell the kids, ‘Hold thebrush properly,’ ‘Good boy’and ‘That’s my girl.’ And Iruffle their hair as encourage-ment.
“I do exactly the same thingwith my elephants.”
Arnold’s two worlds arecaptured on alternating pagesin “Elephants Can Paint Too!”(Atheneum). A portion of theproceeds of the book are do-nated to the Asian ElephantArt and Conservation Project,an organization dedicated tohelping the world’s diminish-ing elephant population. Also,artwork is available for salethrough the group.
After years of development,some places, including Thai-land, began working to protectforests and jungles so their na-tive elephant populations willhave a place to live. But offi-cials still weren’t sure what todo with the elephants. Givingelephants a “career” as paint-ers is seen as alternative worksince they no longer are usedto drag heavy logs from thejungle to rivers and roads andonto boats or trucks.
Arnold’s first experiencewith elephant art actually wasat the zoo in Toledo, Ohio.She went there with her artisthusband Alex Melamid, whoalready had an interest inAsian elephants, becausethey’d heard about an ele-phant named Renee and herpainting project.
“I was surprised how sucha big animal can have such re-fined movement,” Arnold re-calls. “She could put the brushexactly where she wanted to.She could even pick up a pen-cil and draw.”
Eventually, Arnold andMelamid exchanged Renee’ssmall brush and paper withbigger brushes and an over-sized canvas. That’s when thewannabe plus-size Picasso re-ally flourished.
“She was a mountain ofgray, slowly moving. Butwhen she got to know us,she’d wait for us to come.She’d pace at the gate. Thatemotion and her relationshipwith us was amazing. Sheloved to paint.”
Arnold adds: “Elephantsare bored in captivity butwhen they’re surrounded byhumans they can adapt to hu-man activities.”
Arnold’s day job teachingat a school for gifted and artis-tic children meant she hadboth the patience and skill towork with the elephants, sheexplains. “I could make as-sessments about who had a lotof talent right away, just likewith kids.”
Some elephants carefullyconsider their masterpiecesand take their time, while oth-ers work from their heart.“You never rush an artist,”Arnold says.
Most paint abstracts butsome do paint trees and flow-ers. It takes bout three yearsfor them to learn.
They take direction andconstructive criticism well,Arnold reports. She oftenurges them to try and paint thewhole canvas and to start witha wiggly line.
“They’re very good stu-dents, they’re attentive. Theysay apes are way smarter, butapes don’t have a long atten-tion span. Elephants do.”

The Brooklyn Philharmonic kicks off its fourth sea-son of “Music Off the Walls” on Nov. 13 with its“Jewish Mosaic” program. Sunday’s concert will ex-plore — through music — the themes and ideas pre-sented in the current Brooklyn Museum exhibition,“Tree of Paradise: Jewish Mosaics from the Roman
Empire.”The chamber music
line-up, which traces thepath of ancient cantorialsinging into music newand old, includes worksby Gabriela Lena Frank,Maurice Ravel, YehudiWyner, George Perle andPaul Ben-Haim.
Cellist David Cal-houn (pictured) will beamong the musiciansperforming works by this
very international coterie of composers.The exhibition, “Tree of Paradise,” which is on dis-
play in the first floor Robert E. Blum gallery throughJune 4, includes 21 Roman period mosaics as well as38 related artifacts such as textiles, marble statues, goldjewelry and bronze ritual objects.
“Tree of Paradise,” which was organized by Ed-ward Bleiberg, associate curator in the museum’s de-partment of Egyptian, Classical, and Ancient MiddleEastern Art, includes mosaic panels that were part ofthe sanctuary floor of the synagogue in HammamLif, Tunisia, which were accidentally discovered onFeb. 17, 1883. On that day, according to the muse-um, French army captain Ernest de Prudhomme or-dered his soldiers to prepare his backyard for a gar-den where they simultaneously discovered themosaics and, in the process, ushered in the birth ofsynagogue archaeology.
The Brooklyn Philharmonic’s remaining “MusicOff the Wall” concert dates explore Edward Burtyn-sky’s photographs of landscapes (Jan. 15), WilliamWegman’s photographs of dogs (March 19) and the artof Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson (April 23).
The Nov. 13 “Jewish Mosaic” concert begins at3 pm at the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Auditorium inthe Brooklyn Museum, 200 Eastern Parkway atWashington Avenue in Prospect Heights. Ticketsare $15, $10 for students, seniors and Museummembers. For tickets, call (718) 488-5913 or [email protected].

DINING
Whether you’re the one hosting Thanksgivingthis year, or you’re in search of a memorable dessertto bring to dinner, it’s always a safe bet to try it be-fore you buy it. On Nov. 12 and Nov. 13, Brook-lyn’s Cold Stone Creamery stores are offering freesamples of their ice cream cakes.
Each location will offer a different selection. AlisonPeretti, manager of the Bay Ridge store, says herlocation will offer different varieties all weekendlong. Marlon Lloyd, owner of the Atlantic Termi-nal Mall location, says he’ll be offering samples ofthe holiday-themed cakes as well as their usualcake line-up.
Our intrepid staffers happily offered to sample“Pumpkin Pie in the Sky” and “Carrot Cake BatterComfort Cake.”
The panel of judges clearly preferred the “Pump-kin Pie in the Sky”: an actual pie tin with a grahamcracker crust topped with pumpkin ice cream, cov-ered with whip cream and sprinkled with cinnamon.(Our pie had more whip cream and did not have thechocolate fall leaves that are included in the photoabove.)
Judge’s comments on the “Pumpkin Pie” rangedfrom “there was a certain nutmeg kick which com-bined with the pre-made graham crust and remind-ed me — in a nice way — of mothers wearing or-ange turtlenecks and baking atop Formica counters”to “very sweet and extremely rich” to “lived up toits billing” and “fun rendition of that Thanksgivingclassic.”
However, the returns were definitely mixed onthe “Carrot Cake Batter Comfort Cake,” which fea-tured alternating layers of yellow cake and “CarrotCake Batter” ice cream, enveloped in white frostingthat’s decorated with a ring of frosting carrot illus-trations — just like an actual carrot cake.
The judge’s responses ranged from “I liked theheight of the cake” and “great appearance” to “nocarrots were harmed in the making of this cake” to“I don’t like carrot cake, so I actually LOVED it” to“calling this an ice cream cake is surely a mis-nomer.”
Judge for yourself at these Cold Stone Cream-erys this weekend: 8403 Third Ave. at 84th Street inBay Ridge, (718) 745-1555; and 139 Flatbush Ave.at Atlantic Avenue in Fort Greene’s Atlantic Termi-nal Mall, (718) 230-8020. Cakes: approximately$19.99 (serves 6 to 10) to $70 (serves 50). For moreinformation, visit www.coldstonecreamery.com.

When Myla Goldberg, the author of“Bee Season,” began writing her sec-ond novel, set in Boston during World
War I, she steeped herself in the history ofthe city, its streets and its people.
“This book was a five-year project — itwas five years of writing and research,” saysGoldberg. The result is “Wickett’s Remedy,”recently published by Doubleday.
The 33-year-old Goldberg thought of her-self as “literary location scout” in Boston,where she found old newspapers and maga-zines at the city’s libraries to help her betterunderstand how people of the past interactedwith each other. She also turned to old pic-tures of Boston collected by the Library ofCongress in Washington, D.C.
“I papered the walls of my study with pic-tures of the period of Boston as I was writ-ing,” she says, adding that these helped withdetails such as architecture and street scenesthat bring her novel to life.
Goldberg, who lives in Kensington, wastalking about her new book over a beer at alocal bar. Music pumps loudly as the bespec-tacled brunette tells of seeking out early20th-century fashion details at New York’sFashion Institute of Technology. She alsolimited her reading of fiction for two or threeyears to literature published before 1945, al-lowing her to rediscover Willa Cather, Sher-wood Anderson and Edith Wharton.
“I didn’t read anything modern at all so Icould absorb how sentences worked, thegrammar of the time period. Sentences werevery ornate at the time,” she says. “In manyways, people are people are people. We havethe same instincts, fears and questions — theway we prioritize them, the way we structurethose thoughts does change over time.”
“Wickett’s Remedy” tracks the life of anIrish woman named Lydia Kilkenny — Lid-
die to her friends and family — who growsup on South Boston’s D street but moves be-yond her immediate surroundings when shemarries a medical student, Henry Wickett.
Liddie witnesses the beginnings of the firstworld war; there is the shock ofthe sinking of the Lusi-tania. Goldberg weavesin talk of mustard gasand trench warfare, aswell as patriotic songs andmarches through Bostonstreets as dough boys pre-pare for the front.
Meanwhile, Liddie’smarriage and job as a sales-woman on Boston’s Wash-ington Street offer wondersfor the curious young woman,although her family andfriends cannot understand whythe “Southie” wants to leaveher close-knit community.
“The buildings — with theirmarble facades and grand en-tranceways and their seeminglyendless layers of arched windows — resembledfancy wedding cakes. On Washington Streetthere was not a clothesline in sight, not a singlevegetable or fish man,” Goldberg writes.
But Liddie revels in her new surroundingsat the department store: polished marble floorsand crystal lamps that hang from an emeraldrotunda; the pneumatic tubes that move cash
payments in capsules to acashier’s office. Liddiewonders if the cashier“scrubbed the scentfrom her fingers eachnight, or if her dreamswafted with visions ofwealth.”
Liddie’s husband quits medicalschool to start his own business — writing let-ters of encouragement to the elderly and sickto be packaged with the couple’s benign tonic.This Wickett’s remedy yields little money, andthe two briefly attempt to get into the soda popbusiness before an influenza outbreak sneaksinto Boston’s streets.
Goldberg was not aware of the horrors ofthe 1918 influenza epidemic until she read anarticle listing the five worst epidemics of alltime. The Spanish flu of 1918 was a world-wide contagion that, in a few months, killedan estimated 20 million to 50 million world-wide, including roughly 550,000 in the Unit-ed States.
“It was that ignorance on my part that firstgot me into the research,” she says. “Everyonehad pretty much forgotten it. Memories couldbe so faulty, both individual and collective.”
The theme of faulty memories regularly ap-pears in “Wickett’s Remedy.” Besides the mainnarrative, the novel has footnotes from differentvoices in Liddie’s life that correct minor detailsin the narrative. It is an idea inspired byVladimir Nabokov’s “Pale Fire,” a book Gold-berg read in college and remembers fondly.Some of the voices in Goldberg’s footnotes areghosts who poke fun at how Liddie remembersor perceives them and their intentions.
“I think of them of as margin notes,” theauthor says. “They are correcting things. Theyare amending things. They are not agreeingwith things.
“Having little voices correcting thingsalong the way was a really great way to havethe reader firsthand experience the unreliabili-ty of memory. You can’t trust a story, and you
can’t trust your own thoughts.”Goldberg always wanted to be a writer. A
New Yorker for 11 years, she grew up in sub-urban Maryland and studied at Oberlin Col-lege in Ohio. An English literature major, sheworked as an assistant to a literary agent and afreelance reader for TV movies which had herreading books to see which would be ideal foradaptation. She also taught English in Prague,Czech Republic, to former communist eco-nomic ministers and psychotherapists.
“When other little kids were playing houseor school I was sitting in front of an electronictypewriter pretending to write a novel,” saysGoldberg, whose childhood stories often in-cluded elements of horror. One story hadEdgar Allan Poe rising from the dead.
Her first novel will be released as a filmstarring Richard Gere on Nov. 18. [See the re-view on this page.]
“Bee Season,” published in 2000, is acoming-of-age story focused on an elemen-tary school student named Eliza who findsher life changed when she wins a series ofspelling bees. The book sold 80,000 copies inits hardcover format, eclipsing the typical un-der 10,000 copies sales expected for a firstnovel. Its paperback sales are close to half amillion.
“She writes beautifully and incisively abouthuman emotions,” Bill Thomas, editor in chiefof Doubleday, said of Goldberg’s fiction.“What attracted us to Myla’s first novel was theoriginality of her voice. She managed to dealwith a fairly conventional subject and come atit in a way that was fresh and original.”
Thomas, who edited “Wickett’s Remedy,”believes both of Goldberg’s novels draw inreaders because they end up rooting for peoplesociety often ignores completely.
“‘Wickett’s Remedy’ is a very differentkind of novel. It is a more ambitious novel.But at the heart of it once again [is] a femaleprotagonist who must fight against the way inwhich society kind of marginalizes youngerwomen who do not have money or power.”

BROOKLYN
Bites NeighborhoodDining Guide
By Lee Cabot Walkerfor The Brooklyn Papers
I f there are two things America knowsabout its men, it’s that they can’tcook and they love power tools.Brooklyn men are no exception, and
this is why Chris Peterson, a writer inCarroll Gardens, recently tested over125 recipes on a 15-year-old blender inhis apartment’s kitchen to write “AMan’s Whirled: Every Guy’s Guide toCooking with a Blender,” released lastmonth by Simon & Schuster.
The cookbook — Peterson’s first —offers time-saving, dude-satisfying,lady-pleasing blender recipes for menjust a hair on the wrong side of datable,divided into easy categories like “gameday grub” and “date food.”
Peterson, 44, pads palatable two-and three-step recipes with banteringadvice about everything from how tokeep pantry items smelling the waythey should (“If you were the coach ofthe Knicks, would you play four quar-ters with the same five guys?”); to howto set the tone for a romantic date(“Bedsheets do not qualify as table-cloths”); to how iceberg lettuce andbottled dressing can irreparably dam-age said date (“might as well wearsweatpants and a torn Metallica T-shirt”).
Can a blender, requiring little morethan average motor skills, make a manmore datable? GO Brooklyn sat downwith Peterson to explore that, thechemistry of food and how one goesabout making an effortless meal lookand taste really, really impressive.
Fancy feast“Creme brulee is a pain in the ass,
but it’s easy in the blender,” Petersonsaid, while sitting in the living room ofhis two-bedroom apartment he shareswith his 15-year-old son, Sam. Peter-son, who has always enjoyed cooking,began experimenting with the blenderto ease his hectic lifestyle and to im-press dates with “killer” desserts.
“It turned out to be a super-quickway to prep food and make entiremeals, and it was sort of a watershed tome,” said Peterson while serving abreakfast of delicious and light “Arm-chair QB Quiche,” containing shallots,cheddar and bacon, alongside a heap ofhis fresh “Marvelous Very BlueberryMuffins.”
In the book, Peterson defends such
recipes as indisputably un-sissy. The author, who is also at work on a
novel and a book of short stories, knewhe wanted to write a male-orientedbook when he pitched a number ofideas to a trusted writer-friend, whosuggested that the blender cookbook
had the most promise.“You know how it feels when your
team boots that 55-yard field goal in thefinal four seconds?” the author’s note to“Offensive LineGarlic-and-BeanDip” reads. “Well,that’s how yourtongue is going tofeel when it gets asample of thissmooth and tastydip.”
Peterson creat-ed the book’srecipes by com-piling tried-and-true recipes and“adapting them to the weirdness of theblender.”
“A blender will only move certainamounts of liquid at one time,” said Pe-terson, over the sounds of the GipsyKings plinking lightly in the back-ground. Peterson was explaining his ini-tial shock at the precariousness of per-fecting blender recipes. “The bottomwill get blended too much and the topwon’t get blended enough. It’s thingslike that that you have to understand.”
Peterson has no formal culinarytraining, but seems to be a natural inthe kitchen. He said some of thebook’s recipes come from his family— the book’s section on comfort food
also pays tribute to “Mom’s best” —but Peterson said he did not inherit hisskills.
“My mother — God bless her —made a dry meatloaf you could killsomebody with,” he said, while ex-plaining that a good meatloaf is good“on a soul level.”
“The meatloaf in the book is reallymoist.”
Soup’s onSome of Peterson’s other favorite
blender recipes are his soups, such as“Red Velvet Roasted Pepper Soup”and “Home Team Chili,” a basic chilirecipe to which the author adds varioussuggestions for easy embellishing andpersonalizing.
“Chili is a little like sex,” therecipe’s annotation reads. “The basicidea is simple, but the trick is to devel-op your own memorable rendition.”
Cooking with the blender may re-quire minimal effort, but testing 145recipes in an approximately 5-foot by7-foot kitchen with a 300-watt Osterblender as old as Peterson’s son (“Hey— it still works great,” he insists) wasa trying ordeal. Having received amoderate advance from his publishers,Peterson said he spent between six andseven months and about $2,000 polish-ing his recipes for the book, and theauthor learned some tough lessonsalong the way.
“I had expected to be able to testfive to seven recipes a day, which is re-ally, really stupid,” Peterson said. In re-ality, nailing down three to four recipesrepresented a good day.
Peterson also learned that certainfoods can be finicky when dumpedinto a blender.
“Food is chemistry, and chemistryhas its own laws,” Peterson said, re-counting that he spent an entire day ona meticulous Welsh rarebit recipe. “Partof the beauty of blender cooking is thatyou have a lot of latitude,” he said, butthe rarebit is one of the few in the bookthat Peterson suggests not to alter.
“And you don’t want to over-blendcertain things,” said Peterson. “I makean egg salad in the blender, but if youblend it too quickly, you just end upwith egg puree. That’s the sort of thingI discovered.”
Danger zonePeterson’s “antique” blender worked
fine until he tried to use it for chocolatefudge, which caused the motor to startsmoking.
“The blender can almost handleanything, but it can’t move solid mate-rial,” Peterson observed. Luckily, theblender survived the fudge and is stillin use today.
“A Man’s Whirled” also includesdrink recipes from the alcohol-spiked“Screamsicle” to nutrient- and protein-packed smoothies.
“What guy will drink a ‘Liquid Sal-ad’? That’s a good question,” Peterson
said. “Once youstart adding thingslike flaxseed andkale, you’re push-ing the envelope abit on what peo-ple are willing toconsider a justifi-able smoothie.That taste is notfor everyone, butthere’s no gettingaround the factthat it’s a lot of
nutrients getting into your system veryquickly.”
Peterson plans to apply the skills helearned writing this cookbook to publishmore collections of recipes. In the mean-time, he continues to write for magazinesas well as do-it-yourself and interior de-sign books for-hire for Hearst.
He’s so good with words, in fact,that some of the recipes in “A Man’sWhirled” are liable to speak for thechef. In Peterson’s cookbook, thesmooth-talkin’ “Tantalizing Goat CheeseTimbales” promise they’ll coo: “I carethat only the finest food touches yourpristine lips, in the hope that at somemoment, I might.”
Blend, chop, puree: Author Chris Peterson perfected 130 recipes in hisCarroll Gardens kitchen for his new cookbook, “A Man’s Whirled: EveryGuy’s Guide to Cooking with a Blender.”
“A Man’s Whirled: Every Guy’sGuide to Cooking with a Blender” byChris Peterson (Simon & Schuster, $13)is available or can be ordered throughthese bookstores: The BookmarkShoppe [6906 11th Ave. at 69th Streetin Dyker Heights (718) 680-3680], Book-Court [163 Court St. at Dean Street inCobble Hill, (718) 875-3677] and Barnes& Noble [267 Seventh Ave. at SixthStreet in Park Slope, (718) 832-9066].

You can count on one hand the number ofinexpensive little diners — once called lunch-eonettes, then coffee shops — left in Brook-lyn neighborhoods.
In Windsor Terrace, there isn’t a singleplace near Fort Hamilton Parkway that fitsthat description.
The Regan family — Joe, his sister Margaretand brother Bill — are 30-year residents ofWindsor Terrace who longed for a comfortable,old-fashioned place where local families couldsit down to a good, inexpensive meal. In June,Margaret and Joe opened Windsor House Cafe,and the 22-seat eatery has been receiving “greatword of mouth,” says Joe.
Pull a chair up to a Formica table, and Joewill scramble some eggs for you — not toodry with unbeatable, crusty-topped homefries. And he pours a good, strong cup of cof-fee, too.
Want a burger? Eileen, Joe’s other sister,will serve you one made from beef that Joepurchases at the United Meat Market — a ter-rific butcher in the neighborhood — that willonly cost you $4. (A bacon and chedder burger
is pictured at left.)For dinner, Joe, who also owns Windsor
Catering, serves specials that really are spe-cial. There’s a pan-seared fish of the day; aroasted pork loin or a roasted chicken withred skinned mashed potatoes and freshspinach sauteed with garlic.
Many of the desserts, like a toasted pound-cake topped with ice cream, are housemade.
The Regans don’t have a liquor license, butdiners are encouraged to bring their own bottles.
“We have nice crystal goblets for wine,and we don’t charge a corkage fee,” says Joe.“But we do ask that patrons be nice to thewaitresses.”
Windsor House Cafe (3019 Fort Hamil-ton Parkway between East Second andEast Third streets) accepts American Ex-press, Diners Club, Discover, MasterCardand Visa. Entrees: $8-$13.
The restaurant serves breakfast, lunchand dinner Tuesday through Saturday, andcloses at 5 pm on Sundays. Closed Mon-days. For more information, call (718) 972-3444. — Tina Barry
“Pretty Woman”) plays Saul Naumann,a religious studies professor fascinatedby the teachings of the Kabbalah, abranch of Jewish mysticism. A goodprovider and devoted to his family,Saul never shows as much interest inhis 11-year-old daughter, Eliza, as hedoes when she proves to be a champi-on speller.
More comfortable with the academ-ic and religious implications of the lit-tle girl’s talent than with exuding a typ-ical daddy’s pride, Saul tries to showEliza the spiritual link to her triumphsby teaching her all about the Kabbalah.Gere is terrific in the role of a middle-aged man thrilled to help his daughterfind a path to God.
Unfortunately, Saul’s new obsessionall but excludes his wife, Miriam,played by Juliette Binoche, the stun-ning star of “The English Patient” and“Chocolat,” as well as his teen-ageson, Aaron, played by actor MaxMinghella, the son of celebrated film-maker Anthony Minghella, in his firstmajor film role.
Although Saul speaks often aboutthe power of words, it soon becomesclear that he should use them to com-municate more with his wife and son.If he did so earlier in the film, he mighthave noticed everyone in the familywas looking for some sort of enlighten-
ment and they might have been able tohelp each other.
While Saul is off training Eliza forher competitions, Miriam, missing hisattention and haunted by the tragicdeaths of her parents, starts behavingin bizarre ways. Binoche offers anoth-er great performance here, but moretime is needed to explore her complexproblems and personality.
Aaron, meanwhile, opts to rebelagainst his father and his spiritual be-liefs by exploring the Hare Krishna re-ligion after meeting one of its prettiermembers, played by “Beyond the Sea”star Kate Bosworth.
Watching her family disintegrate asshe succeeds, Eliza realizes it is up toher to bring them back together again.Her desire to make what is shatteredwhole again makes for compelling dra-ma, even if the movie does tend todrag a bit at one-hour and 44-minutes.
The third feature film from directingteam Scott McGehee and David Siegel(“The Deep End,” “Suture”) is, never-theless, an absorbing look at two inter-esting worlds — that of the spellingbee competitor and that of the seem-ingly idyllic American family.
Although fans of Goldberg’sbeloved novel will likely swarm to thefilm when it opens this month, theywill just as likely buzz about howmuch the movie departs from thebook.
In the film, Saul is a professor in-stead of a cantor, and the family livesin California instead of in a town near
Philadelphia. But the filmmakers, par-ticularly screenwriter Naomi FonerGyllenhaal (“Running on Empty,”“Losing Isaiah”) do seem to respect theauthor’s material even if they some-times allow the mystical aspects of the
story to eclipse what could have beenan even more gripping family drama.

For three decades, public access televi-sion has provided thousands of commu-nities around the nation with a placewhere ordinary people can make andcablecast media that matters to them, atlittle or no cost. It's estimated that over1.2 million people volunteer on a regularbasis at public access TV stations. Theymake programming on every imaginablesubject, from cultural issues to self-helpprogramming for immigrants; from tar-geted programming for youth, seniors,and the disabled, to faith-based programsand televised psychics. Public access tele-vision is one of the richest marketplacesof ideas in the nation - but three bills nowin the House and Senate could effective-ly end public access television inAmerica. If passed, the "BroadbandInvestment and Consumer Choice Act"(S.1504), proposed by Senators Ensign(R-Nevada) and McCain (R-Arizona),and Senate Bill S.1349 and House BillH.R.3146 - known together as the"Video Choice Act of 2005" - would endor severely limit the operation of public,educational and governmental access tel-evision (PEG TV) nationwide.
Around the country, local oppositionhas been rising to these bills. The UnitedStates Conference of Mayors has comeout in opposition to them, as have TheNational League of Cities and theNational Association of Telecommu-nication Officers and Advisors.Approximately twenty cities around thenation have proposed or passed local res-olutions in opposition to them. TheAlliance for Community Media (ACM),a Washington-based national organiza-tion representing access television, hascalled for people nationwide to call orwrite their elected representatives to voicetheir opposition.
ACM's Executive Director AnthonyRiddle describes these bills as a "nationalvideo disenfranchisement act" that will"undo years of progress in connecting thepeople of our communities to importantlocal institutions and services," describ-ing this as the most serious crisis facingaccess television in its thirty year history.
Currently, a cable company wishing todo business within a municipality negoti-
ates a local franchise agreement - or rentalfee - with the local government for usingpublicly-owned infrastructures or "rightof way," like running cable under publicstreets. The franchise defines the rulesfor how the company can operate in thelocal community. In many municipali-ties, a part of the franchise fee is used toprovide channel space on the cablesystem for PEG TV and to fund facilities,equipment and staff to operate publicaccess TV stations, as well as help pay forsuch city services as health, education,and street improvements.
The pending legislation proposes end-ing local franchising in favor of creating astatewide or a federal franchise. Criticssay this would have many repercussions,including an end of local control of themedia and of local accountability byvideo service companies.
With no local franchises in operation,video service companies wouldn't have totalk to local communities about theservices they provide, the prices theycharge, how they respond to customercomplaints, or about safety or engineering.
Senator Ensign believes his bill willcreate "more choices for consumers" byfreeing companies of "cumbersome"regulation. However, access advocatesobserve that history has demonstratedthat telecommunication deregulationleads to market monopolies by fewer andfewer companies, and that SenatorEnsign's focus on companies and con-sumers overlooks the role public accessand other PEG access TV stations play ininforming, educating and allowingspeech by all citizens. Access advocatesalso note that franchise monies supportthe production and cablecasting of thou-sands of hours of diverse non-commercialprogramming for all Americans, thatprotects free speech rights and providescommunities with valuable media aboutlocal affairs.
For example Brooklyn's public accessTV channels - Brooklyn CommunityAccess Television (BCAT) - viewers offersuch diverse programs as The AdoptingTeens & 'Tweens Show, a program aboutissues involving adoption of kids betweenthe ages of 10 and 13; CMS & You,
produced by the staff of the Centers forMedicare and Medicaid Services to helpNew Yorkers navigate the health system;weekly programs like Reporter Roundtableand Brooklyn's Elected Officials, whichexplore issues of importance toBrooklynites; as well as programs inSpanish, Chinese, Creole, and Armenian,to note a few. In addition, BCATself-produces programs like BrooklynReview, Brooklyn's only news magazine;SportsTalk, which covers local sportteams; and the Neighborhood Beat series,offering an insiders look at the borough.These programs, and the many like themat access centers around the country, arean essential part of the public discourseand of advocacy for a more just andequitable society. Without public accesstelevision these voices will not be heard.
No date has been set for a vote. As ofearly October, Ensign/McCain's S.1504and the "Video Choice Act of 2005" havebeen referred to the Committee onCommerce, Science and Transportation.Insiders speculate that because of currentfocus on the Supreme Court andHurricane Katrina these bills might notbe voted on until late in the year or untilearly in 2006. However critics also warnthat attempts could be made to quietlypass them before then.
General agreement is that if communi-ty television is to survive, PEG advocateswill have to be active in opposing thesebills, and be vigilant about other damag-ing legislation in the future.
Websites by the Alliance for Com-munity Media (www.alliancecm.org) andthe Free Press (www.freepress.net) offermore information about this issue as wellas state-by-state coverage of pendinganti-access legislation.––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––To learn more about the servicesoffered by Brooklyn CommunityAccess Television, which manages theborough's public access televisionchannels, visit www.bcat.tv/bcat orattend a monthly orientation, heldthe first Tuesday of the month from6pm-8pm.

two areas that are being pro-posed,” Green said.
“One is the rail yards, whichis blight, and then the other part,which is made up of residentialand commercial properties. Thatother part is not blight.”
Throughout the hearing,speakers and members of theaudience discussed the impor-tance of rigorous local oversightof eminent domain and the needto clarify the ambiguities of theterm “blight.”
Within a legal context of em-inent domain, “blight” describesan area composed of deteriorat-ing or obsolete structures.
If an area is determined tobe blighted the state is empow-ered to remove the offendingstructures, a muscle whose flexwas broadened earlier this yearwhen the U.S. Supreme Courtjudged in favor of the use ofeminent domain by the city ofNew London, Conn., for theprivate development of a Pfizeroffice park.
While in the Kelo v City ofNew London case, the city ar-gued that the Pfizer projectwould bring economic devel-opment, Forest City’s requestthat the state use its powerhinges on a notion that Pros-pect Heights is “blight.”
“I think the state will makeits decision, unlike ‘Kelo,’based on whether or not theybelieve this is a blighted area,”Forest City Executive DirectorJim Stuckey said in a Nov. 3segment of “Newshour withJim Lehrer,” echoing state-ments he made almost a yearearlier at a public meeting atNew York City College ofTechnology, Downtown.
The state assembly convenedthe hearing, at 250 Broadwaynear City Hall, in effort to deter-mine if legislation could be en-acted to regulate New York’suse of eminent domain.
Over six-hours of testimonywas given by constitutional lawexperts; Atlantic Yards opponentDaniel Goldstein of DevelopDon’t Destroy Brooklyn; thecity’s corporation counsel,Michael Cardozo; and ScottBullock, the attorney for NewLondon property owner SusetteKelo.
Assembly members have al-ready proposed several billswhich, if passed into law,would limit the use of thestate’s power of eminent do-main.
Legislation sponsored byWestchester Democratic As-semblyman Richard Brodskywould mandate that local gov-ernments approve any exerciseof eminent domain in their ju-risdiction. Under current rules,the Atlantic Yards projectwould largely avoid srutiny bythe city government.
In a separate bill sponsoredby Green and Brodsky, pay-ment of 150 percent of the fairmarket value of a propertywould be mandated in eminentdomain seizures done for eco-nomic development.
Forest City is now believedto control most of the landwithin the project footprint,leaving 53 buildings under thethreat of eminent domain.
Of the properties that re-main, 35 house rental units,seven condos or co-ops, and 14commercial spaces, accordingto Forest City spokeswomanLupe Todd.

discovered benzene, a carcino-genic by-product of gas manu-facturing, in the soil andgroundwater beneath the site.
The toxin may be movingwith the plume.
“It’s light and is known totravel,” said Basil Seggos,lead investigator for the River-keeper, an environmentalwatchdog.
Chronic exposure to ben-zene can cause damage to un-born children and, if ingested,it ranks as a “moderate” toxin,according to an EPA web site.
“The samples [being takennow] from the Gowanus willdetermine what the impact [ofthe damage] is and how far itextends,” said Parisi.
In the 1990 study, research-ers concluded that the site hadseen significant illegal dump-ing of waste, toxic and other-wise.
Since Keyspan began re-mediation on the site in 2002,the New York State Depart-ment of Environmental Con-servation has overseen severalrounds of testing.
In a presentation beforeCommunity Board 6 in Au-gust, 2005, Keyspan confirm-ed that their research hadshown damage beyond theboundaries of the former gasplant and stated that they be-lieved the toxic water to bemigrating to the north and thewest.
“I remember someoneasked if it was OK to livearound the plume and theysaid, ‘Yes,’ and then someoneasked if it was OK to garden
the building after he discovered that the former dental facilitywas to be converted into residences.
“All that mercury went right down the sinks into the pipes andthe sub-flooring,” he said, “I worry about pregnant mothers liv-ing there.”
To help resolve the problem, Dermot Co. plans to replace thebuilding’s plumbing.
“Everything will be 100 percent new,” promised Andrew Mac-Arthur, a spokesman at the Dermot Company.
“[The DOH] recommends that we do another check before we[put in condos] and we’ll do that too,” he said, “You don’t con-vert dental offices every day.”
In 2002, Governor Pataki tightened restrictions on dental useof mercury and, with the Department of Environmental Conser-

and they said something like‘depends what you’re grow-in,’” said Thomas Chardav-oyne, executive director ofthe Gowanus Canal Redevel-opment Corporation, a non-profit group working to cleanthe canal and build mixed usedevelopment along it.
While half of the site in-cluded in the Keyspan reme-diation is owned by the city,the other half split between anactive concrete plant, a ware-house, and a trucking facility.
As canal-side apartmentsand condos continue to springup, some worry that notenough will be done to makesure the underground streamis fully understood before peo-ple begin living atop it.
“They don’t know exactlywhere it is or what damage itcan do,” said Bette Stoltz,President of South BrooklynLocal Development Corpora-tion. “The big concern for usis the health of the people whobuy these new lofts withoutknowing what’s under them.”
“I never heard about any ofthis,” said Richard Feifer, whorecently bought a building ablock to the north of the sitewith plans to turn it into con-dos.
Feifer said that no prob-lems with the land surfaced ina basic soil sample he haddone through a private con-sultant before making his pur-chase.
But last week, CB6 wrote aletter to the Department ofBuildings, asking for theagency to work with city en-vironmental agencies for clos-
er monitoring of developmentalong the banks of the neigh-borhood’s famously pollutedcanal.
“The issue here is that it isstill unknown to what degreecontaminates have migratedoff the power site and to whatdegree other property is af-fected by the containments,”said CB6 district managerCraig Hammerman. “That issubject of an on-going inves-tigation and should be watch-ed.”
North of the Gowanus atNewtown Creek in Green-point, an oil spill that hap-pened 50 years ago has beenlinked to a plume now detect-ed to be moving beneath peo-ple’s homes.
Benzene is one of the dan-gerous materials moving inthe Greenpoint plume.
“It’s wafting up from thesoil into people’s backyards,”said Seggos, the investigatorworking on plume-relatedlawsuits. “I have no idea whe-ther it is the same kind ofthing in the Gowanus.”
vation, created new regula-tions for the recycling and dis-posal of dental mercury waste.
Dentists no longer use ele-mental mercury, which hasbeen found to cause birth de-fects and cause neurologicaldamage, in tooth fillings, sub-stituting the silver metal withanother amalgam.
Vapor levels discovered inthe building were not highenough to warrant any specialcleanup.
“Frankly, the mercury inthe building isn’t that surpris-ing,” said Robert Goldberger,an endodontist who has beenin practice on the 15th floor ofthe building for past 19 years.
“I am more concernedabout the asbestos in the wallsthen the mercury vapors,” headded.
In the June report of airsamplings at the tower, theDEP stated that no mercurylevels were detected. On Nov.4, the DOH issued a more ex-tensive report that showed thehigh mercury vapor levels.
Public health officials saythe toxic metal will linger ifnot cleaned properly.
“Generally speaking, it’snot easy to remediate mercu-ry,” Anthony Carpi, an envi-ronmental toxicologist at JohnJay College of Criminal Jus-tice told the Daily News.
By April, Dermot Co. plansto begin selling condos at thetower.
Hopefully, MacArthur said,“Magic” Johnson will come tovisit around that time.
In his testimony, Goldstein es-timated 800 residents and 35businesses would be displacedunder Forest City’s plan.
He referred to ProspectHeights as “one of the most de-sirable locations to live in Brook-lyn,” in a written transcript of histestimony.
In an e-mail following theNov. 4 hearing, Todd describedthe neighborhood within the pro-ject’s footprint as “comprised ofempty lots, gas stations, auto re-pair shops, underutilized or va-cant industrial and manufacturingbuildings and some residentialbuildings.”
Eminent domain cases are fre-quently underpinned by the argu-ment that development will cleanup old eyesores.
“In general, the New Yorkcourts have been fairly casual intheir oversight of “blight” deter-minations by local authorities,”said Thomas W, Merrill, a Co-lumbia University Law Professorwho has argued the legitimacy ofusing eminent domain for a pub-lic arena.
“Forest City Ratner arguedthat the property now being usedfor the New York Times building[near 42nd Street on Manhatan’sWestside] was blighted eventhough there were existing build-ings and businesses there,” saidDavid Reiss, a Brooklyn LawSchool professor who writesabout eminent domain. “The casefor the Atlantic rail yards area ap-pears even stronger because thereis even less economic activity atthat location.”
Under the State Environmen-tal Quality Review Act (SEQRA)that guides state developmentprojects such as Forest City’s, theeminent domain process isscheduled to begin in April, leav-ing a narrow window for legisla-tive action.
“l want to put in stricter defi-nition of blight and some lan-guage that will allow for en-hanced reciprocity. Clearly I amgoing to fight to have my bill,”he said, adding that the processwas likely to be lengthy andcheckered with time-consumingpolitical skirmishes.
Green said, “At this time Idon’t think [state legislation] willhave direct impact on the NetsArena project. I think any projectsthat are proposed after the Netsproject will be viewed different,”
“If legislation moves forward,it could be a race against time,”said Goldstein.

Associated Press
The coach of the Brook-lyn-bound New Jersey Nets,Lawrence Frank, was fined$25,000 by the NBA onWednesday for failing toleave the court in a timelymatter after Monday’s lossat Miami.
Frank was also cited forverbal abuse of a game officialby Stu Jackson, the NBA’ssenior vice president of basket-ball operations.
Frank was upset that JasonKidd was called for a foul with5.2 seconds left, and DwyaneWade made a free throw togive the Heat a 90-89 lead.Frank then thought Wade foul-ed Vince Carter at the buzzer,and ran halfway across the courtto plead his case.
Before Wednesday night’sgame against Utah, Frank wasmum about the NBA’s deci-sion to fine him.
“That’s yesterday’s news.We turn the page,” he said.
Nets 102Raptors 92Friday, Nov 4
Jason Kidd didn’t thinkRichard Jefferson could shootwhen he entered the NBA fouryears ago. He does now.
Jefferson had 35 points and11 rebounds to lead the Nets toa 102-92 victory over theToronto Raptors in Toronto.
“He couldn’t shoot from fivefeet. Everything was a dunk,’’Kidd said.
“That’s not disrespectinghim, but he’s put in the time andeffort in the gym and he show-cased that again tonight, andhe’s going to showcase itthroughout the season.’’
“Every year in my careerI’ve tried to get better at some-thing. I’ve tried to get better atmy shooting, and every year mynumbers have gone up,’’ saidJefferson, who averaged 9.9points in his rookie year and22.2 last season.
Jefferson had 12 of New Jer-sey’s first 22 points as the Netsled 22-12 with two minutes leftin the first quarter. New Jerseyled 45-28 at halftime as Torontoshot 27 percent and was outre-bounded 31-14.
Jefferson’s two free throwswith 52 seconds left in the first
Nets coach fined after Miami heatNOTHIN’ BUT NETS
half gave the Nets a 17-pointlead.
“Richard Jefferson had a phe-nomenal game,’’ said Tornoto’sJalen Rose. “He was attackingthe basket and knocking downshots.’’
Kidd’s driving layup gaveNew Jersey a 24-point lead with7:29 left in the third quarter.
With Vince Carter often dou-bled-teamed, Jefferson went 5-for-8 from behind the 3-pointarc. He finished 9-for-17 fromthe field and 12-for-14 from thefree throw line.
Fans booed Carter — the six-time All-Star traded by Torontoto the Nets last December —every time he touched the ball.
“It’s no big deal after the firstone. It doesn’t bother me at all.I enjoy it,’’Carter said.
Nets 100Bulls 99Saturday, Nov 5
A night after showcasing hisnew prowess as an outside shoot-er, Richard Jefferson went backto his strength to beat theChicago Bulls.
Jefferson converted a three-point play with 1.5 seconds re-maining Saturday night at homein East Rutherford, to lead theNets past Chicago 100-99. Theplay came after Chicago’s BenGordon missed the second of twofree throws with seven secondsleft and the Bulls leading 99-97.
Jason Kidd pushed the ball up-court and passed to Jefferson onthe left wing. He drove into thelane and was knocked down byTyson Chandler, but not beforemuscling the ball into the basket.
“I knew as long as I ran hard,we’d have a 5-on-4,’’ Jeffersonsaid. “When he kicked it out tome, the defense shifted andthat’s how we got the foul.’’
After Jefferson made the freethrow, Chicago had one lastchance, but Vince Carterknocked the ball away fromAndres Nocioni before Nocionicould get off a shot.
Neither Jefferson nor Carter,who each scored 28 points tolead all scorers, was hittingfrom the outside Saturday, sothey concentrated on taking theball to the basket.
“Our goal is to attack the bas-ket and put the onus on the refer-ees to make the calls,’’ saidCarter, who was 9-for-27 fromthe field. “We weren’t hitting ourjump shots outside, so we had tobe effective some other way.’’
Carter had two three-pointplays on drives to the basketearly in the fourth quarter, andwhen Jefferson followed suitwith 4:05 left the Nets led 89-82. The lead was still seven
when Nenad Krstic scored in-side with 2:49 left for the Nets.
Chicago rallied behind KirkHinrich, who finished with 26points and scored 10 of theBulls’ next 12 points. Back-to-back drives gave Chicago a 96-93 lead with 28 seconds left.
Jefferson tapped in a re-bound to pull New Jersey with-
in a point, and two free throwsby Chicago’s Chris Duhon with18 seconds left pushed the leadback to 98-95.
Carter scored on a reboundwith 10 seconds left and Gor-don was fouled bringing theball upcourt.
Krstic scored 17 points forNew Jersey and Jefferson, Car-
ter and Kidd combined for 36rebounds, one fewer than theBulls had as a team. The Netsoutrebounded Chicago 51-37.
Nets forward Clifford Robin-son played 12 minutes, movinghim past Hal Greer into 20thplace on the NBA’s all-time list.Robinson has played 39,790minutes in his career.
Heat 90Nets 89Monday, Nov 7
Dwyane Wade is trying to doeverything he can to help theMiami Heat win withoutShaquille O’Neal.
Wade made a free throwwith 5.2 seconds left andblocked a potential winninglayup at the buzzer to give theHeat a 90-89 win over the Netsat home in East Rutherford.
“It was just a very goodwin,’’ Heat coach Stan VanGundy said. “We need every-thing we can get right now.’’
On the final play, Vince Carterdrove left toward the basket buthad his shot slapped away byWade, who was helping AlonzoMourning protect the rim.
“They could have called afoul,” Mourning said. “I didn’tthink it was a foul, but thingswent our way this evening.’’
Carter thought a foul shouldhave been called.
“There was a lot of contact onthat play,’’ said Carter, who was14-of-21 from the floor and fin-ished with a game-high 32 points.“At least two guys hit me.’’
Wade, who had 23 points,drove on the Nets’ Jason Kiddand was fouled — a call thatalso didn’t sit well with coachLawrence Frank and the Nets.Wade made the second of twofree throws, setting up thegame-ending drama.
A highlight-reel move byWade — he leaped, spun nearly360 degrees around the Nets’Jason Collins and blindly madea layup — put Miami up 59-48early in the third. Yet the Heatwent scoreless for the next5:03, their lead trimmed to 59-58 when Jeff McInnis scored.
But Miami only trailed once,a 29-second stretch early in thegame.
Carter and Jefferson scored26 of the Nets’ first 28 points,combining to shoot 10-for-11 inthe opening quarter. For as goodas New Jersey was early offen-sively, the Heat were better.
Miami made 73.7 percent ofits first-quarter shots to take a32-28 lead, before cooling to a45 percent pace in the second.But New Jersey slipped evenfarther in that period; it shot 8-for-23, or 34.8 percent. And the
Heat maintained that defensiveintensity the rest of the way.
Nets 91Jazz 83Wednesday, Nov 9
Vince Carter scored 21 pointsto lead the Nets over the UtahJazz 91-83 Wednesday night onthe home court.
Nenad Krstic added 18 pointson 7-for-9 shooting for New Jer-sey, which shot 49 percent (33-for-67) from the field. RichardJefferson missed the secondtriple-double of his career byone rebound with 17 points, ninerebounds and 12 assists.
New Jersey began the fourthquarter leading by 15 beforeUtah closed to within ninepoints at 80-71 on a jumper byJarron Collins. On the Nets’nextpossession, Carter drove the laneand kicked the ball out to Krstic,who sank a jumper to extend thelead to 11.
After a 3-pointer by Utah’sDeron Williams brought theJazz to within eight at 84-76,Carter again fed Krstic, thistime in the lane. Krstic’s layupgave the Nets an 86-76 leadwith 4:16 left and Utah neverthreatened after that.
Andrei Kirilenko led Utahwith 18 points. The Jazz shot38 percent from the field (31-for-82).
Earlier in the day, New Jer-sey coach Lawrence Frankwas fined $25,000 by theNBA for verbally abusing areferee and refusing to leavethe court after the Nets’ 90-89loss at Miami Monday night.
The Nets led 49-48 with8:32 left in the third quarterbefore going on a 23-9 runover the rest of the quarter,highlighted by 3-pointers byCarter and Jason Kidd.
Zoran Planinic put an ex-clamation point on the runwhen, after two free throws byUtah’s Keith McLeod, heheaved the ball from just pasthis own free throw line at thebuzzer and watched as it wentthrough for a 3-pointer and a72-57 Nets lead.
Neither team led by morethan seven points in a back-and-forth first half. Krsticscored 10 points in the first
