JUNE. JULY. AUGUST. SUMMER HEAT. HIGH HUMIDITY. New Yorkers use a lot more energy in the summer – primarily to seek relief from the heat. That’s one reason why energy bills are higher in hot weather. Other conditions can also cause bills to fluctuate throughout the year. Con Edison now buys your electricity and gas on the open market from energy supply companies. The cost is determined by several factors, including seasonal weather patterns, the price of fuel used to produce electricity and the simple rules of supply and demand. Still, good energy management at home can help control your cooling costs this summer. Visit www.conEd.com/customercentral for details. If you have central A/C in your home, check out www.conEd.com/sales for our free thermostat offer. Energy-efficient lighting and appliances save money because they use less electricity.

(212) 844-1481 “With the Downtown Plan just passed and thousands of new jobs being created we’re going to see an influx of new commuters and residents that are going to need mass transportation,” Thies said. The 60-block Downtown Brooklyn Plan could bring 4.5 million square feet of office development, 1 million square feet of retail and 1,000 units of housing. Over the next decade the workforce is expected to grow from 71,000 to 114,000, Burke cites in his letter. From the beginning, both supporters and opponents of the plan have called on the city to improve traffic and transportation throughout the area. “Without connecting the stations, they can’t possibly sus- tain the development they are looking for,” said Jo Anne Si- mon, a leader of the Down- town Brooklyn Coalition. Community leaders have long charged that the stairwells and platforms at the Lawrence Street-Metrotech station, at Willoughby Street, are too nar- row to accommodate riders. The MTA had pledged to widen the staircases and connect the two subway stations. Riders currently must pay two fares if they want to transfer between stations. But facing a mounting deficit, the MTA announced earlier this month that they would have to scale back service and possibly raise fares. Spokespersons for both the MTA and NYC Transit would not confirm whether the program had in fact been taken out of the capital budget, which the MTA is scheduled to vote on next week.

Lutheran Medical Center offers some of the most advanced surgical procedures for long-term The Brooklyn Papers weight-loss. Our renowned bariatric specialists perform proven successful minimally invasive techniques The city plans to open a homeless drop-in center, pop- ulated predominantly by men, in the same Downtown including: Laparoscopic Gastric Band “Lap-Band,” and Laparoscopic Gastric bypass. Lutheran’s top Brooklyn building that houses a 200-bed shelter for med- doctors will answer your questions on the criteria for surgery, nutritional and psychological counseling, as ical-care dependent homeless women. Community Board 2 was opposed to last year’s opening of the well as any financial questions you may have. If you have 100 lbs. or more to lose, or if you simply want shelter at 200 Tillary St. on the corner of Prince Street, and this week board members came out swinging, charging that mixing to learn more about our minimally invasive procedures, join us at our Open Houses. the two populations could be “explosive,” as one board member called the situation, and repeating their cry that the district is already over-saturated with social service facilities. th Before it opened in December, community members had tried to July 28 , 6:00pm - 8:00pm stop Consumer Information and Dispute Resolution Inc. (CIDR), a non-profit organization that runs facilities for people with disabilities, from opening the shelter for women in the eight–story building that was previously used as a college dormitory. Se Habla Espanol! The Salvation Army currently operates a drop-in center at 39 Bond St., in Boerum Hill, but is being forced to move because the building was sold. After looking for a replacement site for Shore Hill Housing, 9000 Shore Road, Brooklyn, 91st Street Entrance years, a Department of Homeless Services official said at a meeting with community members Wednesday night, 200 Tillary St. For Information or Directions call (718) 667-8100 was the only site they could find. “To relocate a population of single, homeless men in close proximity to women who are medically fragile and chemically addicted is an explosive situation,” said John Harrison, who co-chairs the CB2 Health, Environment and Social Services committee. That committee met community members and representatives from the Department of Homeless Services, the Salvation Army and CIDR at a special meeting at Brooklyn Hospital, on DeKalb Avenue at Ashland Place, July 21, to hash out their concerns. Israel Rosario, a resident in the nearby Farragut Houses public housing project, said that because the shelter is located near two schools and a park he is concerned about the additional 200 homeless people who are expected to come through the center every day. YOUR CHILD IS The new drop-in center would provide social and medical services to homeless men and women resistant to using the city’s shelter system. While there are no beds available, clients are allowed to spend the night. Despite rave reviews from the Department of Homeless Ser- vices, Lt. Christopher Valis, of the 88th Precinct, said police are NO ANGEL. often called in for reports of prostitution and emotionally dis- turbed people near the 200 Tillary St. site. Valis also noted the proximity of the shelter to the Ingersol Houses public housing project, which he described as “violent” and as having a rising number of robberies. Although it is located just around the corner from the 84th Precinct stationhouse, the building is actually under the jurisdic- tion of the 88th Precinct, which predominantly patrols Fort Greene. Complaints about the center are directed to that precinct while walk-in complaints come to the 84th Precinct, making it difficult to compile detailed reports. Alfred Peck, the Salvation Army director of social services for greater New York, said the center has a “good neighbor policy” and invited CB2 to join its neighborhood advisory board. The Salvation Army does not yet have a contract for the 200 Tillary St. site, although they expect to move in around October of November. And the community has little say over the move. “We would like to have the support of the community,” said Robert Mascali, assistant commissioner for government and community affairs for the Department of Homeless Services, “but it’s not necessary to have it.” Because the facility is privately run, it does not need to pass through the city review process, which requires public hearings before the community board, borough president, City Planning Commission and City Council. Only 10 percent of shelters, those actually owned by the city, are subject to public scrutiny, according to Mascali. Because of the lack of oversight, the community has complained of “pop-up shelters” opening throughout the district. In Fort Greene, neighbors were told that building at 65 Cler- mont Ave. would be converted into 12 units of luxury housing. But shortly before the building opened it was switched to a 24- hour temporary homeless shelter. Three buildings — at 523 and 525 Clinton Ave. and 508 Wa- verly Ave. — were recently turned into a 19-unit, 25-bed shelter for formerly homeless families with a history of mental illness. And Interim Housing a private company, opened a 96-unit “transient hotel” in back-to-back buildings at 769 Pacific St. and 603 Dean St. “The Department of Homeless Services has been less than ad- equate in its communications with us,” said Harrison, who asked the agency to keep the board up to date on development with its plans for 200 Tillary St. Mascalli argued that the residents did not pose a threat to the community and that everyone had to share the burden of the city’s growing homeless crisis. He said that every meeting he goes to, communities complain of being overburdened. Barbara Strickland, the director of social services for 200 Tillary St., said she was not concerned about the drop-in shelter opening up in the building and said the two facilities would not be connected in any way and that the women had a 10 pm curfew. The facility has private security in addition to 61 security cam- eras through the building. Angels don’t need health coverage. Your child does. That’s why at “We have our fair share of shelters,” said Rachim Fowler, director of Fort Greene Youth Control, a program for teenagers. “Councilman James Davis spoke to this and now it seems like HEALTH PLUS we offer you Child Health Plus; a New York State program that we’re going over the same thing.” Davis, on the day he was shot dead in City Hall last July, was provides your child or teenager with FREE or low cost health coverage preparing legislation that would have required notifying communities of plans to open homeless shelters in their midst. regardless of your financial situation.

Continued from page 1 ing for a major chain store. Instead of heading down the red carpet, arriving celebrities paused for photographers in front of a Target red-and-white back- drop where some petted and posed with the company’s mascot, “Bullseye” the dog. Stars later struck poses on the escalator, in front of “Sponge Bob” underwear, and Brita filter displays. “What are you wearing?” one fashion reporter asked Chloe Sevigny as she made her way into the mall. “Chanel.” “Are you wearing any Target?” a reporter wanted to know. “Not yet,” said Sevigny, who was later spotted with a shopping cart filled with “panties and hangers” but said she was most excited about a black-and-white umbrella. Other Manhattan scenesters also headed to Target in cars provided by the store, although one PR flack who actually came on the subway, noted, “I couldn’t believe it was one stop from Manhattan.” The $150 million Atlantic Terminal mall is built over the At- lantic Avenue subway and commuter rail hub with 10 subway lines and the Long Island Rail Road converging there. Many shoppers said they knew somebody who knew somebody who scored them an invite to the event. Others said they received invitations in the mail. But before opening the doors at 8 pm, organizers made it clear to those gathered outside that if you didn’t have an invite and weren’t on the list, you weren’t getting in. One woman, with spiked hair and rhinestone-studded teeth, showed off a great deal she had found on Ziploc bags. At the same time, emcee Bernhard continued to do her best to offend as many as possible. “Where are our Arab-American friends tonight? I see nobody of Muslim descent — that is a crying shame. There are beautiful designer Burkas around the corner, $59.99. Tell your Arab friends to come down, if they’re feeling uncomfortable, they can feel free to shop here at Target,” Bernhard said. “She’s not exactly on the Target message,” remarked one spokeswoman. Fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi, who has a line for the store made an appearance along with actors Maggie Gyllenhaal, Alan Cumming and supermodel Sara Ziff. Even Fort Greene Councilwoman Letitia James, an ardent foe of the mall’s developer, Bruce Ratner, because of his plan to build a basketball arena across the street from the new mall, couldn’t find enough good things to say about the place. “This is wonderful. It’s massive. It’s everything you could possibly want in your mall,” said a beaming James. She quickly added, “It’s just on this that we agree.” James hosted a press conference on the steps of the City Hall the following morning denouncing the Atlantic Yards arena and office tower project. Opening in the four-level mall Sunday will be Target, Daffy’s clothing, Bath & Body Works, McDonald’s, Rockaway Bedding, GameStop, Carver Savings Bank, DSW shoe outlet and Chuck E. Cheese children’s party facility. Other stores and offices opening in the near future include Star- buck’s (in addition to a small Starbuck’s inside Target), Avenue, Mandee, The Children’s Place, Coldstone Creamery, Payless Shoe- Source, Verizon Wireless, Houlihan’s, Guitar Center, Men’s Wear- house, Mrs. Fields/TCBY and Atlantic Terminal Dental. As things wound down Tuesday night, revelers could be seen making their way down Flatbush Avenue in high-heeled shoes carrying large red-and-white Target bags. Some even came out with brightly painted nails — Target was offering manicures in the cosmetics session. A woman sporting a “Defend Brooklyn” T-shirt bought cat food and explained that her shirt was not an anti-gentrification commen- tary. A photographer from Williamsburg who bought sheets and gum was still contemplating whether or not he would come back. In addition to calling it the first “metropolitan store” the company has ever opened, the new Target is also the first without a parking lot that customers can roll their carts onto. The nearest lot is across the street at Ratner’s Atlantic Center mall, long criti- cized for its terrible design. Target is on the opposite end of the mall from the Flatbush and Atlantic entrance and starts on the second floor, leaving shoppers to schlep their purchases. “This, for us, is a real test,” said Derek Jenkins, a Target re- gional vice president.

On July 29, in honor of the opening of their first Brooklyn store — on Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights — the fresh-ingredient, fast-food Mexican eatery will throw a fundraiser to benefit the Brook- lyn Arts Council. The event will take place from 6 pm to 9 pm. A donation of $5 at the door buys you a large burrito (and they are large!) and a drink. All the proceeds collected go to support the Brooklyn Arts Council’s performing and visual arts programs, which serve 100,000 students. Chipotle, named for the dried and smoked jalapeno pepper, will open for regular business in Cash ‘n’ Brooklyn Heights on Friday, July 30. Pictured above is New York area manager Randy Sullivan.

The Russo family, who purchased Gargiulo’s in 1965, kept the name while implementing their Neapolitan hospitality and home-style cuisine. Among Russo’s recommendations are the veal alla vittorio, grilled veal with sauteed artichoke hearts, mushrooms, peppers and onions; and

Soon there is the crack of the bat quickly followed by a loud thud as Davidson’s lined rocket shot single to left field hits the Brooklyn Brewery sign. As the game moves along, there is persistent clanging from Section 5 as “Monkey Lady” pinch hits for Nick Cunningham as the evening’s cowbell clanger. Up in the Catbird Seat, Warner Fusselle, the Cyclones’ radio announcer, calls the game. It’s the sixth inning, the game intensi- ty has slowed, the Cyclones trail 7-1, so Fusselle knows to bring some other things into the mix. “On this day in Brooklyn Dodger history,” he says in his smooth voice with a little bit of the South in it, “Christy Mattew- son made his debut, in Brooklyn, against the Brooklyn Dodgers, and no, it wasn’t in Ebbets Field. That hadn’t been built yet. It was in Washington Park.” “Go ahead! Don’t be shy!” booms the voice that sounds, for this bit, like a cross between that of a burlesque announcer and God. “Kiss her! You’re among friends!” tempts the voice of Dom Alagia, the Cyclones’ public address announcer, as couples kiss on camera in an effort to win a dozen roses. The game moves on. In the seventh inning the crowd stands for the playing of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.” In the eighth inning, a young woman stands near the third- base dugout. “I accept. I will marry you,” she says, happy and stunned, her voice coming over the field microphone as she responds to the proposal of her now-fiance and a mere 8,000 witnesses to the commitment. The game ends with the Cyclones losing 7-2. Frank Sinatra sings “The Brooklyn Bridge” as fans leave the ballpark. UTSIDE, NEAR THE players’ entrance, Jose Ro- driguez, visiting from Spain, proudly talks of his grand- Oson, outfielder Fernando Perez, (who hit the opening triple of the Renegades big four-run first inning), from Princeton Junction, N.J., and Columbia University. Flood, the Renegades’ bus driver, discusses the sound of this year’s Renegades. “They’re the quietest team I’ve ever driven,” he says as some players, true to Flood’s word, victoriously, yet silently, board the bus. The Cyclones aren’t usually such a quiet team, but they are tonight. As they change in their clubhouse, the normal sounds of music and a ping pong game are absent. The Cyclones coaching staff spoke to them after the game about keeping their baseball concentration. Sounds are heard from the Cyclones’ training room. They sound like slamming weights. They are. Cyclone first baseman Jim Burt is lifting those weights. There is also a whirring sound. It’s pitcher Celso Ron- don peddling on the stationary bicycle. They’re inspiring sounds. They’re the sounds of quiet deter- mination.
