This week the apology resolution will go before the Cultural Affairs, Libraries & International Intergroup Relations Commit- tee for a hearing. On Wednesday, Recchia was flanked by Bay Ridge-Bensonhurst Councilman Vincent Gentile, who also came out in support of the Avvinti family after viewing the surveillance video. “It is an outrage to hear that the mayor insulted a hardworking Italian-American fam- ily in Bensonhurst,” said Scott Gastel, a spokesman for Gentile. Just before the heart attack, Avvinti was waiting for his wife to return from shopping at a Met Foods supermarket on 20th Avenue, where she was buying groceries for Easter dinner. While she was inside, the traffic agents — Lance Hinkson and an unidentified woman — approached Onofrio Avvinti and wrote him the ticket. YOUR CHILD IS As seen in the video, Avvinti clutches his chest and raises his arms before the traffic agents, who are parked behind him, drive away. But Vito Avvinti claims to have an edited copy of that video that appeared on local news channels when it was first released, without the traffic agents’ cruiser in the image. He believes that version was doctored and leaked by City Hall. NO ANGEL. “This has all been difficult,” said Vito Avvinti. “My mother’s not doing very well. She thinks she doing better for a while, then she slips back into a depression.” The Avvinti tragedy will be discussed at a town hall meeting scheduled for St. Dominic’s Roman Catholic Church Communi- ty Center on Thursday, May 27, at 7:30 pm. The meeting is sponsored by the Federation of Italian-American Organizations. Cops seek help in old murder By Jotham Sederstrom The Brooklyn Papers Police this week asked the public for help in finding a white Lincoln LS sedan they believe was involved in a murder on the Belt Parkway one year ago. Francesco Santillo, an 18-year-old honors architecture student, was returning home with three other friends from a pool hall in Bay Ridge on May 17, 2003, at around 2:30 am, when a single shot ripped through the red Subaru his pal was driving. Police be- lieve the gunshot was fired by someone in the backseat of the white sedan. It whizzed past a friend sitting next to Santillo in the backseat and hit Santillo between the eyes. He died nearly 24 hours later at Coney Island Hospital. “We’ve learned nothing at all,” said Carmela Santillo, the vic- tim’s aunt. “Every time there’s a lead, it falls apart. My nephew’s killer is out there and nobody’s found him.” Police this week upped the reward for information leading to an arrest to $12,000. Carmela Santillo and more than 100 family members and friends held a vigil on Monday for the James Madison High School gradu- ate. Together, they walked along the shore from Bay Parkway to Bay Eighth Street, where his family placed flowers near the highway. “Our family is destroyed,” she said. “He not only killed my nephew, but destroyed the spirit of the whole family.” Santillo’s friends — ages 18, 19 and 25 — told police at the Angels don’t need health coverage. Your child does. That’s why at time that the shooting may have stemmed from lustful glances the quartet directed toward two women in the front seats of the sedan. They described them as a blond and a brunette, both in HEALTH PLUS we offer you Child Health Plus; a New York State program that their late teens or early 20s.

Bay Parkway and Cropsey Avenue exits. According to news re- ports last year, police marveled at the accuracy of the shooter. Almost a month after the shooting, police discovered video of the Lincoln that was taped that morning by a surveillance camera at 14th and Cropsey avenues near the western edge of the Dyker Beach Golf Course. Short of those images, however, police have not been able to gather much more information. “We just want those two girls who were in the car to give some information,” said Carmela Santillo.

The “itch house” reputation lasted throughout the years at the Plaza even as different owners stepped in. In the late 1960s the faltering theater began featuring X-rated films. Sometime in the 1980s a plaque honoring Bunny disap- peared from the front of the building. Before closing, the Carlton, a block away, was the movie house of choice. A grandiose movie theater with a chandelier in the lobby and elaborate mirrors in the bathrooms, the Carlton opened in 1914. That theater was bought in the 1980s by the Brooklyn Taber- nacle Church and for nearly two decades housed its famous choir. “If you didn’t have too much money you went to the Plaza,” Connor recalled. Before being converted to a church, the Carlton featured Kung Fu and blaxploitaiton films. And while by the late 1990s Hollywood features had returned to the Plaza screens, Connor said it wasn’t rare to smell people smoking marijuana in the theater. “You could get high watching the movie,” she said. But those days ended, residents say, when Screen Arts stepped in. The company first converted the old Sanders Theater at Prospect Park West between 14th and 15th streets into the Pavil- ion, an eight-theater movieplex in 1996. Adie also snatched up the Brooklyn Heights Cinema and vowed to turn the run-down cinemas into a state-of-the-art art- house with some mainstream films. While the Brooklyn Heights Pavilion now has comfortable seating, serves coffee in its lobby and generally plays more inde- Callan / Tom pendent films, the Flatbush Pavilion tended towards more main- stream movies. On its closing night, the theater will feature the recently re- leased flicks “Van Helsing” and “Man on Fire.”

In 1928 there were 223 theaters in Brooklyn according to Del Papers The Brooklyn Valle who says there are now just a dozen left. The other Bunny Theater, at 149th Street and Broadway, in Harlem, opened its doors a year after the Brooklyn theater and Kelly honors Iraq war heroes closed just last year. “It’s sad that it’s closing,” Del Valle said of the Flatbush Pavil- Police Commisioner Raymond Kelly (second from left) honors police officers (from left) Kenneth Caesar, Carlos Vieria and Irving Marrero, all of whom served a tour of duty in Iraq.
