In addition, the race does not have the top-down draw of a mayoral, gubernatori- al or presidential race, he noted, so it is likely to attract far fewer vot- ers and those who do turn out will primarily be politically active or OUR CHILD IS have strong allegiances to one candidate or another. Y “Which is why the parade is not going to have so much of an ef- fect,” he said. Since announcing his intention to run, Geoffrey Davis has refused to anwer questions about his past, which includes orders of protec- tion that were taken out against him by an ex-girlfriend in 2000 and NO ANGEL. an arrest for soliciting a prostitute in 1995. Police Lt. Eric Adams, head of 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care, had also expressed an interest in running against Davis but did not register with the Campaign Finance Board for matching funds by the Aug. 8 deadline. Adams did not return calls for comment by press time. He has until Aug. 19 to collect 2,700 signatures if he intends to make the ballot.

At 82 and a lifelong participant in the parade, Stanislaus recalled the bumpy transition that occurred when it was moved from Harlem. “When we came to Brooklyn, we were chased away,” he said. Some of the parade organizers, including Gorin, were arrested for parading without a permit, according to Stanislaus.

If there had been an epidemic of freely loitering drunks, they didn’t escape from “Baby Joggers and breast pump backpacks.” Fifth Avenue in my area was a viable, welcoming place long before either of the above became the norm anywhere. It was made that way by the people who live here — NOT by the recent openings of chic establishments. As for the description of gas stations on Fourth Avenue in numbers “great enough to fix the fleet of a small na- tion”… come on now! There are a number of them, but since they’re all still in business, my guess is there are just enough to service the residents of the neighborhood. There are no others anywhere else in Park Slope. How far will you have us drive to fill our tanks? The fear and anger of we who live on these western Slope blocks result from the greed-lust and political fren- zy we infer from all the reports on this development proj- ect. The work of citizens like us for the last 25 years has resulted in charming, neighborly, historical communities. We read of our blocks, and it’s as if our lives and our homes aren’t here. Nothing that I’ve read acknowledges our presence. Most articles speak of the removal of the commerce of everyday necessity as being something we should embrace, and the sudden ballooning of our blocks’ Cobble Hill suffers most from Fire cut

By Patrick Gallahue The Brooklyn Papers Of the six neighborhoods that lost firehouses to city budget cuts in May, Cobble Hill’s response time suffered the most. The neighborhood’s 47-second jump, to an average re- sponse time of 5 minutes and 35 seconds, is worse than the response time suffered in Sunset Park (25-second jump to 4 minutes and 30 seconds), Bedford-Stuyvesant (11-second increase to 4 minutes and 24 seconds) and Greenpoint (16-second leap to 4 minutes and 23 seconds). And the results had elected officials burning up. “I can’t tell my constituents to hold their breath for 47 seconds,” said Cobble Hill Assemblywoman Joan Mill- man. But although the response times are up in the areas that lost firehouses, Fire Commissioner Nicholas Scopetta this week boasted that it was less of an increase than the origi- nal estimate of one additional minute. “The changes we have seen during the past two months are, for the most part, below our estimated increases, or in line with what we expected based upon the modeling we did before selecting these companies for closure,” Scopet- ta said in a statement. “These numbers are frightening,” Borough President Marty Markowitz countered, “because they illustrate what Brooklyn has been saying all along — closing firehouses will add precious seconds, or in the case of Engine 204, al- most a minute, to an emergency situation where just a few seconds can mean the difference between life and death.” Further fueling the ire of residents and elected and fire union officials, is that during their demonstrations they challenged the city’s “response time” as a measuring stick since it still could take longer to actually begin fighting the fire. Tom Butler, a spokesman for the Uniformed Firefight- ers Association, said, “The Fire Department’s own proto- col insists that there be a minimum of two engine compa- nies to stretch and operate a hose line and one ladder company to force entry.” Butler said the clock stops on response time when the first fire official arrives on the scene, not when all the backup needed to begin fighting a fire arrives. “Bottom line is response time is and always been … a homogenized number to be given to the public to give them a false sense of security,” Butler said. “Response time has nothing at all to do with how long it will take you to be saved, or rescued or for your property to be saved.” The FDNY issued a mea culpa on that point this week in a release that claimed the response times were for en- gine companies first due on the scene. It acknowledged that the response times actually measured the arrival of the first emergency vehicles, be it an engine or ladder compa- ny “or Fire Chief in a Chevy Suburban,” as Butler said. An FDNY spokesman for the FDNY said the agency is still trying to compile numbers for how long it takes for other engine and ladder companies to arrive and which companies are responding. According to the Fire Department, response time in Cobble Hill jumped 47 seconds compared to June and July of last year when Engine Company 204 was in oper- ation. That puts it a full 45 seconds above the citywide av- erage. The area previously covered by the closed Engine 278 in Sunset Park saw the second-largest jump. 8 BWN THE BROOKLYN PAPERS • WWW.BROOKLYNPAPERS.COM August 18, 2003 New treatment repairs spine New York Methodist Hospital Osteoporosis is a disease geon at the Brooklyn and path to the spine.
