By Ruth Brown The Brooklyn Paper He is carrying the weight of a 36-story tower on his shoulders. Councilman Stephen Levin (D–Brooklyn Heights) expects to have the decisive vote on a con- troversial plan to sell the Brook- lyn Heights library branch to a housing developer after the City Planning Commission approved the scheme on Monday — but he is keeping mum on which way that vote will go. The commission voted 10–0 with two abstentions in favor of the city’s proposal to sell the Cad- man Plaza West site to developer Hudson Companies for $52 million and allow it to build a residential skyscraper and new library in its place, which means the Council will now make its decision. Members typically follow the lead of the local representative when voting on land-use issues — in this case, Levin — but the councilman refuses to say which direction he ArchitectsMarvel might steer them until the proposal Councilman Steve Levin must now decide whether he will support this giant building on officially comes before the Coun- the site of the Brooklyn Heights library branch. cil, a spokesman said.

The iconic flute-rocker behind Jethro Tull will perform a rock opera about the band’s historic name- sake at the Kings Theatre on Nov. 6.

The singer, flautist, and mandolin-player will perform “Jethro Tull, the Rock Opera” along with the other band members on Friday. The show recasts eighteenth-century agricul- turalist Jethro Tull as a near-future biochemist working to solve a famine by genetically engi- neering more-productive crops.

Ramirez, 25, who moved to Florida when she was 10 years old and returned to Brooklyn as a teen, once put her skating dreams on ice because her family could not afford the uniforms, coach- ing, and travel that it involved. But the future Disney royal’s passion to lace up and hit the rink reigned supreme. She was home schooled for her senior year so she could focus fully on her skating, and she helped to coach bud- ding skaters at the Aviator Sports and Events Center in Marine Park, where she could practice for free on its Na- tional Hockey League-sized rinks. Her dedication paid off when she landed the Disney gig, and she now performs to sold-out crowds across the nation, and in Thailand and Australia. Ramirez’s crowning moments oc- cur when cheering fans rise from their seats and start dancing at the sight of the ice princess. “Little girls’ eyes light up and they scream ‘Tiana,’ as if they see a part
