We could definitely file a mo- tion to force the agency to follow the rules and spend the money to subsidize the ferry service.” Gentile said that the funding, earmarked for the new dock in Bay Ridge and operating / Evan Vucci expenses at an existing stop at 58th Street near the Brooklyn Army Terminal in Sunset Park, was snubbed by Brooklyn DOT Com-

missioner Lori Ardito at a budget hearing last Associated Press month. Bruce Springsteen visited the Brooklyn Museum last week to see the Basquiat exhibit. Referring to the same hearing, a spokesman for Yassky said that Ardito cited an internal policy that bars, or at least frowns upon, subsidizing private businesses with public money. If so, the policy would be in direct contrast to funding that the department allotted to a bus line in Queens last year, said Basquiat brings a Yassky spokesman. “The DOT has reiterated that they would not spend that money,” said Yassky spokesman Evan Thies. “We’re aghast that they would refuse a directive from their su- periors, in this case the council and the may- Boss to Brooklyn See WATER on page 2

ADVERTISER FOCUS Curves moves to new, larger locale, 74th St & 3rd Ave Curves for Women Curves For Women, formerly located at 181 Bay Ridge Ave., moved to larger space this week. More than doubling the gym’s size to 1,600 square feet, the new and improved Curves is at 7409 Third Ave. The additional space al- lows Curves to offer more equipment, such as treadmills and steppers. Nancy Lala, who also owns another Curves For Women at 9801 Fourth Ave. at Marine Avenue, opened the Bay Ridge Avenue loca- tion in July 2001 and was delighted with the neighborhood from the get-go, and the feeling is apparently mutual. “We’ve outgrown our 700-square-foot original space, now that we have over 400 members,” she said. While the facility will be greatly improved, the monthly fee will remain the same, as will the staff members. The Curves program is unique in that it allows a busy woman the opportunity to get a short but complete workout in 30 minutes, three times a week. “We are geared towards working women who are jug- gling a job and family,” said Lala. Members come in and spend 30 seconds at each of 26 stations, half of which involve strength training machines, alternating with aerobics stations. “Each member sets her own pace, by completing as many repeti- tions at each station as she feels comfortable with. This is how we are able to work with women of all ages,” Lala said. Curves actually works with girls as young as 9, as well as octoge- narians. Lala said their pre-teen and teen-age members are referred by their pediatricians as part of their weight loss program. For those who are very old or very young, the workout is gentle, but effective. But for women looking for a more strenuous workout, there are Wacky Wednesdays, and Advanced Tuesdays and Thursdays. While membership discounts and specials change from week to week, Curves always offers a free trial week to anyone interested in joining. Lala said,” We feel very strongly that they should take the free week before committing, so they can really see if they can work it into their schedule.” To call Curves For Women’s new location, call (718) 238-4523.

CINEMA All for love On April 5, the fifth annual Brooklyn Jewish Film Festival kicks off with the New York premiere of the French film “The Grand Role,” directed by Steve Su- issa. Although this edition of the festival is titled “Stand Up and Laugh,” there isn’t much to laugh about in this movie about a Jewish actor, Maurice (Stephane Freiss), who auditions for the role of Shylock in a famous American director’s Yid- dish screen version of “The Merchant of Venice,” but doesn’t get to keep the part.
