District Attorney Charles Hynes’ announcement of 11 arrests marked the culmination of a nine- month investigation into a loan sharking operation allegedly run out of two 13th Avenue businesses in Dyker Heights — a now defunct candy store at 66th Street and a sports memorabilia store, Gamers Illusions, at 73rd Street.

CYCLONES… Continued from page 1 set Park shortly before 1 pm. Calling Staten Island “the bedroom community of Brooklyn” — for all its residents who enjoy Brooklyn’s many activities only to retire to their homes across the Narrows — and “the south- western suburb of Brooklyn,” Markowitz thanked Molinaro, who, he said, “knows he has no chance of winning, for being a good sport.” Earlier in the day, Markowitz held a ceremonial raising of the Cyclones team flag over Borough Hall, where the beloved Brooklyn Dodgers banner once flew. The Dodgers flag, which flew for almost half a decade under the previous administration, was eventually presented to outgoing Borough President Howard Golden, who was term-limited out of office this year. Golden had pledged to keep the banner aloft until the Dodgers were brought back to the Borough of Kings, a dream that Markowitz has put to rest to rally Brooklyn behind its exist- ing professional baseball team. The challenge was first made to Molinaro earlier this year, but was held in limbo over a lack of neutral venue to execute the wager. “We had played with some ideas,” Molinaro told The Brooklyn Papers. “At one point the lower deck of the Verrazano was closed for repairs. Now it’s open but we didn’t want to stop traffic.” The apparent reticence of accepting the bet could have been a survival mechanism in the face of what last year proved to be a daunting foe. The Cyclones and the Yankees met eight times last year, with the ’Clones racking up six wins against two defeats. The rivals met again in the first round of the playoffs, battling to advance in the New York-Penn League’s McNamara Division. Again, the Yankees succumbed, two games to one. On Sept. 10, the Cyclones came one game closer to walking away with the Division Championship, winning on the road in the first of three games against the Williamsport Crosscutters. But the games were halted following the tragedy of the next day and the championship contest was cancelled with both teams named “co-champions” of the New York-Penn League 2001 season. The Cyclones finished last season with a 52-24 record and set the all-time short-season class-A record for attendance in a single year. They have already virtually sold out for this coming year. The management of the team, set aside 200 bleacher seats for each game, which will be sold on game days beginning at 10 am. The Yankees filled their Richmond County Bank Ballpark to about 75 percent capacity and “this year we expect to be around 90 percent,” said Josh Getzler, the chief operating officer of the . Fuel into an already burning rivalry will doubtless kindle even greater interest in the two minor league squads. Citing the antagonism between the Dodgers and the Giants, Yankees’ CEO Stan Getzler, said, “The great rivalry that existed then has been recreated, like it’s in the bloodstream. It just hap- pened, we didn’t make it happen.” As the 117-foot Romantica launched towards the Verrazano, the “great rivalry” toned down a bit. Cyclones mascot Sandy the Seagull, joined its Staten Island counterpart, Scooter the Holy Cow, at the bar for a glass of water and Markowitz made small Paying By Check talk with Molinaro and his staffers. As the boat, donated for the day by VIP Yacht through New York Waterways, came to a halt below the bridge, Markowitz, A Big Pain In The Neck? dressed in a Cyclones Jersey and team baseball cap, pitched a few friendly barbs at Molinaro, as he had all morning.

Set in a Sicilian village, “Cavalleria Rusticana,” or “Rustic Chivalry,” is a “verismo” opera — aimed at treating common life — based on a short story by Giovanni Verga about the womanizing antihero, Turiddu. Now in its fourth season, Vertical Player’s intimate venue, a former factory turned sculpture studio, offers the audience “exciting proximity to the performers,” according to Vertical Player’s Judith Barnes. On June 22 at 8 pm, Vertical Player Rep hosts a vocal recital featuring soprano Beth Anne Hatton, mezzo soprano Anna Tonna and pianist Ishmael Wallace. Suggested admis- sion for “Cavalleria Rusticana” is $20. For reservations, call (212) 539-2696. — Lisa J. Curtis 2
