P’pect Park adding WiFi By Dana Rubinstein The Brooklyn Papers Ahhh. Rolling hills, lush green grass, the intoxicat- ing scent of lilacs … and wireless? Yes, boot up your laptop: By the end of this summer, Prospect Park will be buzzing with wireless broadband Internet. Other parks — including the Brooklyn Heights promenade, and Columbus, Carroll, Fort Greene, and Cobble Hill parks — will follow next year. Parks officials said that entering the Internet age would make parks more popular and, therefore, safer. But not everyone wants to bring busywork to the city’s “secu- lar sanctuary,” as Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe calls the city’s public green spaces. “I am highly ambivalent,” said Park Slope author David Shenk, author of Data Smog, a cautionary tale of technology run amok. “In a way, it’s kind of exciting. It’s also kind of depress- ing. “I think it’s a part of our Age of Distraction,” said Shenk, who does not own a Blackberry, but admitted that he is shopping for one. “The whole point of a park is to get away from it all. Now, we will obviously have no escape.” Shenk worries about having no time to think. Others worry about having no time for family. “What it sounds like is you’re not leaving the workplace,” said Tanika Rivera, who runs HELP New Horizons Computer Clubhouse in East Flatbush. “You’re bringing your work home with you. And, if you’re focusing on a monitor, what are you telling your kids? Speaking as a mother, once I leave work at 5:30, whatever can’t get solved, gets solved the next day.” And then there’s the elephant in the computer lab — will any- one other than the affluent benefit from widespread wireless broadband access? City Councilwoman Gale Brewer (D-Manhattan) alluded to that fact a few times at hearing she led this week “The gentleman who wired St. Mary’s Park [in Mott Haven, the Bronx], said that no one was bringing laptops in there,” said Brewer, who chairs the technology committee. 6 AWP THE BROOKLYN PAPERS • WWW.BROOKLYNPAPERS.COM • (718) 834-9350 May 20, 2006 DENTISTS DENTISTS FLATBUSH LIFE All phases of Posh stores open as avenue continues to evolve COURTEOUS AND General & Jack Irwin, D.D.S.

ORCHIDS… Continued from page 1 meaning Ludlum would have better luck if the orchids were na- tive to New York. “It’s hard to know what kind of [federal] protections there could be for an international plant,” said Edward Grace, senior special agent for the Fish and Wildlife Service. Neighbors know Ludlum as “the orchid man” and recognize his apartment by the orange glow his high-intensity greenhouse lights send out of the battered old factory. His quirky connection to he neighborhood goes beyond his crops. Ludlum was in DUMBO on 9-11, and, as he watched the World Trade Center collapse, took a photograph that ended up on the cover of The New York Times and won him a Pulitzer Prize. If his endangered species lawsuit doesn’t work, Ludlum has a fallback plan: He’s also planning to sue Kotowitz on the grounds that the plans he’s filed with the Department of Buildings show a development that is larger than the law allows. Kotowitz’s architect, Robert Scarano, is currently under inves- tigation for allegedly ignoring such zoning rules.
