Simon has been in the book business for decades. His first job out of school was at a book warehouse, and before he opened Seventh Avenue Books, he was a vice president at BarnesandNoble.com. He opened his bookstore on Seventh Avenue, between Seventh and Eighth streets, six years ago. In 2002, Simon opened a chil- dren’s bookstore down the street, between Second and Third streets. In 2005, after the landlord raised the rent of the original storefront, Simon moved his entire operation to the same block of Seventh Av- enue where his kids book store sits. Even though his shop is almost across the street from Barnes and Noble, it turns a decent profit. Not necessarily enough to raise a family on, said Simon, but good for a single person or as a second income. “I would prefer to see it bought,” said Simon, who lists Walker Percy, Stanley Elkin, and Kurt Vonnegut as his favorite authors. “I’m proud of what we’ve put together.” If it’s not bought, Simon and his loyal patrons have at least one thing to look forward to. “I’ll tell you one thing,” said Simon, who guessed he had about 20,000 titles in stock. “If we do go out of business, we’ll offer the best moving-out sale New York has seen in years.” BIKE LANE… Continued from page 3 and Copenhagen. “Ninth Street would have been a good spot for DOT to experi- ment with that sort of design,” Naparstek said. Other cyclists have chosen a more confrontational route. Since August 2006, bikers have posted pictures of illegally double-parked vehicles on the Web site mybikelane.org. The site’s 571 members also post license plate numbers and rank offenders. “Drivers who notice me photographing their vehicle will think twice about parking in the bike lane,” one of the members said. Despite that approach, many cyclists said that some type of ob- struction is inevitable on commercial blocks. “The trucks need to double-park somewhere to unload and the way Ninth Street is marked now, the trucks don’t have much leeway in terms of space,” said David Bijur.

THE KITCHEN SINK Our pal Lenore Arons reports that her “Dining Out for a Cure” event was a huge success, “thanks to The Brooklyn Paper,” she hastened to add. After we ran a list of all the Park Slope restaurants par- ticipating in her breast cancer fundraiser, Arons’s little idea generated $4,600 to fight the dreaded disease. She says she’ll try to get more restaurants next year — with our help again! … Second anniversary? That would be the sangria anniversary, right? Our friends at Melt, on Bergen Street between Fifth and Flatbush avenues, celebrated their sec- ond birthday with a party on Monday that featured $10 kobe burgers and all-you-could-drink sangria. Several members of The Brooklyn Paper staff congratulated Melt in the only way they could, by repeat- edly telling the bartender, “Um, could you top me off on the sangria? Thanks.” … MS 51, on Fifth Avenue between Fourth and Fifth streets, had a 35th reunion last week at Union Hall.

To know the broader story of this building and of the people who worked in it is to consider questions such as who profited from American slavery, how north Brooklynites sur- vived the Great Depression, why Coca-Cola is sweetened with corn syrup today, where the Metropolitan Museum got all those Impressionist Tom Gilbert paintings — even how tens of thou- sands of Puerto Ricans came to live in Williamsburg. The empty brick-and-stone giant that was built on Kent Avenue in 1882 was the primary source of the Havemeyer family sugar fortune. Along with the Pratt/Rockefeller money, this was one of several great American fortunes to have roots in Brooklyn. The story starts with brothers William and Frederick Havemeyer, who arrived in New York City in 1799 and built a sugar refinery on Vandam Street. Taking advantage of the worldwide tea-drinking craze (which drove up the price of sugar) and the low cost of sugar cane (which was produced in the Caribbean, originally by slaves), the brothers prospered. As the Havemeyers built ever larger and more-sophisticated sugar re- fineries, eventually crossing the East River to Brooklyn for more space in om Gilbert 1856, they began to exhibit the contradictory set of traits that has charac- T terized the family and its endeavors since: technical ingenuity, business acumen, a philanthropic and do-gooding bent, and utter ruthlessness. While most 19th-century Havemeyer men devoted themselves to improving the sugar-refin-

Paper / The Brooklyn In 1855, eight years after this classic Knickerbocker character was first elected mayor, his polar opposite, Henry Osborne Havemeyer, was born. H.O. was brilliant, and he directed this brilliance toward making great wealth. He modernized and mechanized the sugar-re- fining business and bought up most of his local competitors. He later took advantage of the Civil War to relocate most of the nation’s sugar refining capacity to a two-mile stretch of the Brooklyn Ghost bike gone from W’burg street waterfront that encompassed Palmer’s Dock and the Eastern District Terminal railroad facility.

A lot. higher than Duke Snider and trailing only Willie Mays for position players with enough at-bats to qualify for the slug- ging crown. In 1956, Newcombe was 27–7, and won both the Nation- al League’s Most Valuable Player and Cy Young awards. To this day, he is only baseball player to have won the rookie of the year, MVP and Cy Young awards. On Sunday, Newcombe was asked about his frustration over not reaching the Dodgers sooner. “I should have made the Dodgers earlier,” he said. “The reason I didn’t was because of the color of my skin. “I won 19 games my second year at Nashua. In fact, I should have advanced earlier because I was 14–4 my first year at Nashua. I was perturbed about it.” Newcombe recalled another player, the great Satchel Paige, who, because of prejudice, made the majors only after his prime had passed. “I remember Satchel Paige pitching against my team, the Newark Eagles, in 1944,” recalled Newcombe. “He [deliberately] walked the bases loaded, then he struck out the side on nine straight pitches. He was the greatest con- trol pitcher I ever saw.” Newcombe’s Keyspan Park visit also featured the unveil- ing of a permanent banner featuring his name and his num- ber, 36. Earlier in the day, Newcombe was honored with a lunch- eon at Keyspan. He was asked about his feat of starting both games of a doubleheader in 1950. “I was really removed because of my pitch count,” said Newcombe with a twinkle in his eye. “It had reached 400.” CHANNELING THE BARD Each week, Ed Shakespeare, the bard of Brooklyn base- ball, will take a page from his ancient ancestor and add a bit of iambic pentameter to all our lives. This week’s contribution is called, “To Go to the Show”: On Sunday afternoon, the Hall of Fame Induction happens, but I shall not go. That day, I will be at some other game, To see the players most fans hardly know. The Hall has style — there’s no dispute to that, And Brooklyn’s there — yes, Jackie, Campy, Duke. There’s Pee Wee, Sandy, yet no one to bat, To pitch. I won’t be there — nor will big Newk. With you, I’ll be in Brooklyn, watching kids. Young men named Vogl, Voyles, Appell, Bouchard And Reyes, Schilling, Jacobs — make their bids To reach the show — to glow in Keyspan’s yard. The Hall’s events? Well, they’re written, they’re done. Outside, in Coney, baseball lives — that’s fun. 15 AWP THE BROOKLYN PAPER • WWW.BROOKLYNPAPER.COM • (718) 834-9350 July 28, 2007
