FILMMAKER AMY NICHOLSON SET out to make a documentary about the closing of the Zipper, an independently owned thrill ride in Coney Island. In- stead, she began to delve into the politics of Coney Island redevelopment in her new film, also called “Zipper,” which will debut at Manhattan’s IFC Center next month. Here she is with former Zipper owner-operator Eddie Miranda. See story, page 2.

Denaro as Rector Award-Winning Author Colum McCann Institution Liturgy Set for October 5 By Francesca Norsen Tate Religion Editor Brooklyn Eagle The Church of St. Ann & the Holy Trinity has called its current Priest-in-Charge, the Rev. John E. Denaro, as rector. The announcement was made public in the Sunday, July 14 edition of the parish’s Good News. Fr. Denaro has served the landmark Episcopal parish as priest-in-charge since March, 2011. An announcement by Church Wardens Syd Farley and Frank Kain in the parish’s Good News reads, “Fr. Denaro has demonstrated his desire to increase our numbers, uti- lize our unique facilities and make our presence known in the neighborhood and the wider community. Fr.

Until that point, he had been under federal investigation and faced a number of charges, including hiring prostitutes to bring over state lines, an offense prosecuted under the Mann Act. Spitzer’s acts were not merely impulsive; they were deliberate, and prosecutors say they involved secretly transferring money under a fake name and using that money in an illegal way. While Spitzer chalks it all up to a private matter and sexual transgressions, as a former prosecutor he fully knew the types of criminal activities generally associated with prostitution rings. They include money launder- ing, drugs, even human trafficking. Nevertheless, the former governor has suggested that being a public comptroller would make it possible for him to look into any of the financial misdeeds of corporations, which is how he initially made his reputa- tion. As the financial scandals and recession have taught us, the public does need strong leaders willing to take on corporations that often use unscru- pulous practices to skirt, if not outrightly break, the law. But one could eas- ily argue Spitzer has lost the moral authority to be the person entrusted to do that. Before their own scandals, Spitzer and Weiner were darlings of the Democratic Party, in big, important jobs — and perhaps thinking of even greater political glory. While they are trying to make separate comebacks, they inevitably will be linked if both do appear on the ballot in New York City’s elections. What seemed improbable a few years ago now appears possible, but neither Spitzer nor Weiner has yet made the case that voters should give them the honor of serving the public’s trust again.

My destiny just caught up with me at an early age.” Red sang in a min- strel show, joined his father’s circus, did skits on showboat and became, at 16, the youngest comedian in burlesque.

A victim of annual budget cuts, the Promenade Gar- den needed help, and needed it fast. To get the job done, the BHA formed the Promenade Garden Conservancy, a public-private partnership with the Dept. of Parks and Recreation. The Promenade Garden Conservancy called on the Brooklyn Heights community to reach into its pockets and roll up its sleeves. Within months, the PGC had raised enough money for a full-time dedicated gardener, Mat- thew Morrow, and recruited an amazing corps of local volunteer gardeners. Four years later, their achievement is itself a tourist destination. The soil has been enriched with endless barrows of compost; the overgrown shrubs have been pruned back and, where necessary, dug out; thousands of tulip bulbs have been planted every fall for a thrilling spring display and a constantly changing parade of perennials delights visitors from April through November. Did you know you can now follow the Promenade Garden Conservancy on Twitter? Try it! @PromenadeGarden

The broad-leafed plant in the foreground is Anemone x hybridus ‘Robustissima’, which is a hybrid Japanese anemone. It doesn’t look like much right now, but keep an eye out for the flowers in late summer. The main problem with these anem- ones is that, because they don’t bloom in the spring with many other perennials, they get weeded out of the garden by less-than-observant gardeners (or in our case, volunteers.) Other plants include Hemerocallis (Daylily) on the left, Echina- cea (Coneflower) on the right, Helianthus (Sunflower), and Cleome (Spider flower) far left.

Cleome (Spider flower) in foreground, Hemerocallis (Daylily) and Echinacea Hakoneclhoa macra ‘Aureola’ (Japanese forest grass) on the right, an unusual ornamental grass because it prefers shade. (Coneflower) behind, and Hydrangea at the very back. The Perennial Plant Association named it the Perennial Plant of the Year in 2009. Matthew Morrow, Community Coordina- tor and Gardener for the Promenade Garden Conservancy, likes how the gold color lights up a shady area near the Clark Street entrance. He would like to plant sweeps of it in the Promenade Garden. Other plants are Coleus, Cleome (Spider flower), Ferns, Heuchera, and Hostas.

Begonias, Torenia (Wishbone flowers) and Coleus. The annual beds planted in Zinnias and Petunias. Petunias are popular and reliable flowering ornamental plants.
