The Brooklyn Papers The Brooklyn City Hall last July. DUMBO falcon rescued

Associated Press A 10-week-old pere- grine falcon that apparently left the nest before being cleared for flight was rescued after crash- landing on a street beneath the Brooklyn Bridge. The falcon was discovered Wednesday morning on Wa- ter Street in DUMBO by passersby who noticed the bird flapping around but un- able to take off, said Mike Pastore, field director for New York City Animal Care and Control. Goodbye “She was not really injured,” Pastore said. “She was probably one to two weeks away from flying normally, but she left the nest a little too early.” A city Department of Parks and Recreation falconer joined Pastore in examining the bird, Heartburn! which was given a clean bill of health. The falcon was taken to the Animal Medical Center in Midtown Manhattan and hope- fully will be released shortly, Pastore said. It was wearing a state Department of Environ- mental Conservation tag.

The full board will vote on the proposal at its general meeting on Wednesday, June 9, 6:30 pm, at the YMCA, 357 Ninth St., in Park Slope. While the store would bring more cars and trucks to the area, Ikea real estate manager Patrick Smith said the store would also create 500 to 600 part-time and full-time jobs that pay “competitive wages.” Smith was among a bevy of Ikea officials at Thursday’s committee meeting. Red Hook activists opposed to the Ikea plan have been meeting with principals of the Baltimore-based Struever Bros. Eccles & Rouse (SBER), a development company known for adaptive reuse projects. The company has put together a plan for a sprawling, 70- acre, retail, residential and commercial development with a marina on the shipyard site between Richards and Columbia streets. Bill Struever, a principal of the company, says his plan would bring upwards of $2.5 billion of investment to the area and 5,000 jobs. But that plan was not on the table Thursday night and CB6 Chairman Jerry Armer made sure it would not become a topic of conversation, saying, “The only proposal we’re going to consider tonight is the Ikea proposal. The proposal for Ikea has to stand or fail on its own merits.” The company has promised to open up the hiring process to residents in Red Hook’s 11231 ZIP code two weeks before any other applications are collected, although they say federal law prohibits them from promising that any percentage of those jobs is held for neighborhood residents. Ikea has also included a 6.2-acre waterfront esplanade and a “green” roof with solar energy panels in their plan. In addition to Ikea, the site will include 70,000 square feet of other retail and restaurant space. The company plans to build 1,400 parking spaces and will provide ferry service to the store from Lower Manhattan. Because the area is zoned for heavy manufacturing, Ikea is seeking a variance from the city to allow the retail use requiring that it pass through the city’s Uniform Land Use Review Procedure, a seven-month process that will also include hearings before Borough President Marty Markowitz, the City Planning Commission and the City Council. State Sen. Velmanette Montgomery, a vocal opponent of the $2.5 billion Atlantic Yards residential, retail and commercial development In Prospect Heights, attended Thursday’s meeting and came out in favor of the store, seeming to believe that the only other alternative would be housing. “I would hate to see our waterfront become the soul purview of people in market-rate high rises,” Montgomery said. While Ikea has been trying to negotiate a deal for the Red Hook site over the past two years, Sunset Park-Red Hook Councilwoman Sara Gonzalez remained silent until now. This week, Gonzalez issued a press release supporting the project. Despite the community board approval, many community members are still fighting the plan. Lou Sones, a member of the CB6 land use committee, who is a staunch opponent of the Ikea plan, voted against the application. “I’m disappointed,” said Sones. “I thought the board showed no vision in approving this. … It appeared to me Ikea answered none of the questions about traffic or jobs.” May 29, 2004 THE BROOKLYN PAPERS • WWW.BROOKLYNPAPERS.COM BRZ 5 le ya o e FREE GOP says ‘Yes’ to arena plan LOCAL Mor & DELIVERY Rs r te By Jotham Sederstrom said that a professional basket- two-family variety are probably some of the residents who are a at l P The Brooklyn Papers ball team would be a point of more desirable than the high- now being faced with disloca- z s, ro 6712 Ft.

TO SERVE… Continued from page 1 sight in the Fort Hamilton High School JROTC office, according to Lt. Col. Lee Anderson, a retired Army Ranger who runs the program. Brochures from all branches of the military are dis- played in the office, where students come to socialize, do home- work and use the computers. Anderson says recruiters drop by often and help drive students to drill competitions. The close relationship existed before the war in Iraq, but An- derson says the war makes their jobs more difficult. “I know they are feeling the heat,” Anderson said, noting that more students are reluctant to join since the war started. “They’re having to work hard to get them,” he said. Petty Officer Edwin Saenz visits as often as three times a week. His uniform consists of dark-blue pants and a matching shirt and jacket. The only overt sign that he is working for the Navy is the silver eagle pinned to his collar. Saenz says he drops by the school to develop a rapport with students so, if and when they decide to enlist, they will feel com- fortable coming to him. “We spend a lot of time at high schools. We prefer people who are young and fresh out of high school,” said Saenz, who described the military’s target recruiting ages as 17 to 21. He says his presence shows students that the military isn’t all guns and marching. / Jori Klein The Brooklyn Papers The Brooklyn Junior ROTC members during a Memorial Day ceremony at Fort Hamilton High School on Tuesday.

“This is a normal, regular job,” Saenz said. Both Saenz and Staff Sgt. Barrette E. Walker, an Army recruiter, say they have to answer a lot of questions about Iraq from potential recruits these days. But Walker says the conflict hasn’t slowed the number of new recruits at his office. “We have to answer that question more, but people are still joining the Army because of the benefits and what we have in the Army,” Walker said. Recruiters say money for college is a big selling point with high school seniors. Nicole Smith, a senior in the Tiger Battalion at Fort Hamilton High School, plans to join the Navy when she turns 18 to help pay for veterinary school. Her parents, concerned about her safety, won’t sign the papers that would allow her to enlist sooner. “They say they can take loans out for me but it’s kind of something I want to do on my own,” Smith said. “I’d be paying back debts for 10 years after that.” She says she’d rather not end up in a war zone but realizes she might. “Automatically they think, ‘I join, I’m going to Iraq,’” Saenz said, explaining that in the Navy, a new recruit could just as easily end up in Hawaii or Japan. “My job as a recruiter is to find out what are their concerns and correct their misconceptions.” While joining ROTC in college could help Mahmoud Salem pay for medical school he worries the war could also interfere with his plans to become a doctor. After four years in college, for which the military would pick up the tab, he would graduate as an officer and owe his country four years of service. His recruiter tells him that if he is stationed in the United States he could attend medical school while serving his four years. If he were called to serve in a combat zone, however, his education would be put on hold. “He keeps telling me I could be a doctor through the military,” said Salem, who believes he has a responsibility to serve his country. “That’s true, but so many things can go wrong.” Nancy Hoch, a member of Prospect Lefferts Voices for Peace and Justice, says the offer of money for school is hard for some students to resist. “We live in a neighborhood that is openly targeted by the military,” said Hoch. “Primarily because there are kids of color and a lot of them don’t feel like they have any other way to move up in society.” She worries that the need for more soldiers in Iraq will in- crease the pressure on students to enlist. Anderson, who has seen dozens of recruiters come through his JROTC office, says the great majority of them are honest with the kids. Nevertheless, he advises all of his students not to sign any papers until he has a look at them. “I think it’s a viable choice for students,” Anderson said, de- fending the presence of recruiters in the school. “Students can be educated on what they have to offer and what they can’t offer or guarantee.” While Salem worries about how the military will affect his career, his family worries about his safety. His father, Ibrahim Salem, who brought the family to New York when Salem was just 6 months old, says he is proud of his son’s desire to serve his adopted country. “I always say America is the best country in the world,” Ibrahim Salem said. “For me, I’d love him to go, but his mother, she says, ‘No.’ She’s scared too much for the war.” May 29, 2004 THE BROOKLYN PAPERS • WWW.BROOKLYNPAPERS.COM AWP 15 REAL ESTATE
