As the mother and child fought for their lives this week, neighbors placed a candle near the scene of the accident, on 12th Street between Fifth and Sixth avenues, and prayed for their full recovery. While both the mother and her baby’s condi- tions were improving at presstime, a doctor told investigators shortly after the accident that the infant had sustained severe brain damage. The mother, Marcy Gordon, was fastening her 3-year-old child into a safety seat on her car’s rear passenger side at around 2:50 pm on Aug. 17, when the motorist, Grace Rignola, 32, crashed into her, according to police. Witnesses told police Rignola’s 1991 Ford Crown Victoria was swerving as it traveled eastbound on 12th Street, and said she displayed signs of intoxication and smelled of alcohol after exiting the vehicle. Rignola allegedly attempted to drive away, but bystanders blocked the car’s escape, according to some witnesses. Rignola then left the vehicle and went to a Hero mural restaurant down the block, Magnolia, on the cor- Firefighters Jesse Vitucci and Victor Silvestro in front of yet-to-be ner of 12th Street and Sixth Avenue, and asked completed mural being painted on door of their Ladder 118 fire- to use the telephone to call her boyfriend, ac- Summer sailing The Brooklyn Papers / Tom Callan house.

EXHIBIT SSa wwaayy Culture club aiil aa Brooklyn Children’s Museum l to show Japanese kid culture By Lisa J. Curtis The Brooklyn Papers

ou may have known that “Pokemon: The Movie” was a big hit among kids, and “Hello Kitty” paraphernalia has Ybeen popular among American children for at least 20 years. But you can bet many kids don’t know that those cultural icons come from Japan, or even where Japan is, let alone what’s important to Japanese kids, or what Japanese and American kids have in common. The Brooklyn Children’s Museum will introduce Japan — and the voices of its youth — in a new exhibit, “Japan and Nature: Spirits of the Seasons,” to open in early 2004. The exhibit’s target audience will be children ages 5 to 12, but will ideally appeal to the whole family — from grandma to the 3-year-old, according to project director Liza Rawson. Last month, the museum received a $750,000 award from the Freeman Foundation — a Vermont- based private philanthrop- Are the Gowanus Yacht ic group that supports greater understanding between Asia and the United States — to create this in- Club’s hot dogs & PBRs teractive exhibit about Japanese kids.
