the broadsheet Volume 19 Number 4 There Will Be Joy in MHS-ville This Spring LOWER MANHATTAN HIGH SCHOOL SCORES FUNDRAISING HOME RUN FOR GIRLS’ SOFTBALL TEAM M By Matthew Fenton illennium High School, a selective public secondary school in the Financial District that gives admissions preference to Lower Manhattan applicants, has succeeded in record time with an unprecedented campaign to raise funds in order to launch a girls’ softball team this spring. In less than three weeks, the school has collected almost $10,000 in contributions, enough to self-fund the team through its first season, which begins in March. Along the way, Millennium received a political assist from State Senator Daniel Squadron and financial backing from New York-Presbyterian/Lower Manhattan Hospital. The saga began several months ago, when Millennium athletic director Brian Friedman responded to calls from female student athletes and their parents by seeking permission to start a girls’ softball program. Such a request goes to the Public School Athletic League (PSAL), the governing body for sports at public high schools in the five boroughs of New York City, which has formidable requirements for approving new teams: facilities for play and practice, a coaching staff in place, demonstrated interest from students and support from the school’s administration. Millennium meets all of these prerequisites, but PSAL is also facing a funding shortfall, which makes it almost impossible to approve new teams, even at schools that match its criteria. “They have a process every year for schools to apply for new teams,” explains coach Friedman. “And just in the last few years they’ve had many new requests, but no extra budget. So our request was originally denied, but I kept pushing.” Coach Friedman’s determination was borne, in part, of the fact that Millennium is an emerging sports powerhouse: “Our soccer and baseball teams just moved up to higher division, and our basketball is competitive in its division,” he explains. continued on page 2 PASSING THE GAVEL Sheldon Silver Steps Down as Speaker W By Matthew Fenton hen a community’s patron and defender becomes an embattled defendant, a few words of reckoning are in order. Sheldon Silver, who has represented Lower Manhattan in the New York State Assembly since 1977, and has been that body’s Speaker since 1994, stepped down from his leadership post as of February 2. His tenure in the Assembly has thus far spanned the administrations of six governors, from both parties. But from the day Mr. Silver became Speaker 21 years ago, he was the un- WHOSE Pushing ANCHORAGE IS Back to Bounce Back IT, ANYWAY? Andrea Buman All Rights Reserved © 2015 The Broadsheet Inc. ebroadsheet.com February 18 - March 3, 2015 LOWER MANHATTAN LEADERS FIGHT CITY HALL FOR SHARE OF RESILIENCE FUNDS L By Matthew Fenton questioned most powerful Democratic Party politician in New York State. This was, in part, a matter of longevity: During Mr. Silver’s years at the helm of the Assembly, Mario Cuomo, George Pataki, Eliot Spitzer, and David Paterson came and went, but nothing that any governor of either party wanted got done without Mr. Silver’s consent. (The same was true for Andrew Cuomo, until Mr. Silver’s resignation from the Speakership.) This translated into enormous benefits for his constituency, which consists (roughly) of Lower Manhattan up to Vesey Street on the West Side and as far north as Houston Street on the East Side. “He helped get five new schools built, saved a sixth, built us a community center, saved another community center, and got many, many other things this community desperately needed,” observes Paul Hovitz, co-chair of the Youth and Education Committee of Community Board 1 (CB1), who has known Mr. Silver for 22 years. “He was indispensable in getting P.S. 89/I.S. 289 built in Battery Park ower Manhattan may be in danger of becoming the poor stepchild of New York City disaster and resiliency planning. Out of $4.21 billion in federal Community Development Block Grants for Disaster Relief (CDBG-DR) awarded to the City in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, only some $10 million (or less than one-quarter of one percent) has been allocated within the borders of Community Board 1, roughly the area below a jagged line formed by Canal Street on the West Side and the Brooklyn Bridge on the East Side. More recently, the City's Economic Development Corporation (EDC) announced a “Neighborhood Game Changer Investment Competition” for ideas to foster economic growth in the five areas of the City that were most severely affected by Hurricane Sandy. When it announced the competition, in June, 2013, the EDC said, “it is expected that each of the five impacted areas will be awarded up to $18 million in Community Development Block Grants for Disaster Relief, and more than one award also may be made in each area.” But when the results were made public, Lower Manhattan received no awards and no funds. In October, the City received its third allocation of $994,056,000 of CDBG-DR funding from the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development. The de Blasio administration released its plans for this money (with no significant allocation for Lower Manhattan) on December 19, and scheduled a hearing about those plans for January 15. As CB1 chair Catherine McVay Hughes testified at the hearing, this schedule allowed only, “a short time for preparation by those wishing to comment, especially considering the two major holidays during this time.” Ms. McVay Hughes also said that community leaders were, “disappointed to learn that there was no opportunity for public comment at this, or any previous public hearing on the Proposed Action Plan,” because “this is a critically important part of continued on page 2 continued on page 3 Winter Wanderings NEWS & COMMENT Elected Officials Lobby BPCA to Preserve Community Programming at North Cove F Help Design the Skyline When is the last time a developer asked the community what features should be included in a new tower? Trinity Church is redeveloping its building at 74 Trinity Place, and is inviting stakeholders (including local residents) to participate in a series of discussions about the vision for the new structure. The first of these will be held on Saturday (February 28) at St. Paul’s Chapel (209 Broadway, at By Matthew Fenton ive elected officials representing Lower Manhattan are lobbying the Battery Park City Authority (BPCA) to preserve at North Cove Marina “community-based programming, including educational opportunities for children and teenagers, that is accessible at every income level.” This concern arises from the BPCA’s decision in January to award the contract to operate North Cove Marina (which is legally mapped as parkland) for the next ten years to Brookfield Properties. That company, which owns the giant Brookfield Place retail and office complex (located directly adjacent to North Cove) has no experience operating marinas, a deficit that it addressed by making International Global Yachting (IGY), an operator of luxury anchorages for super yachts, a subcontractor on its bid. The BPCA chose Brookfield and IGY over local resident and small businessman Michael Fortenbaugh, who has operated North Cove for the past decade and was bidding for the new contract. During his tenure at the marina, Mr. Fortenbaugh created highly regarded public programs, such as a sailing school and summer sailing camps for children and teenagers, while also building a widely lauded record of community service, leadership, and activism. The January 29 letter to BPCA chairman Dennis Mehiel from State Senator Daniel Squadron, U.S. Congressman Jerrold Nadler, Manhattan Borough President Gale A. Brewer, Assembly member Sheldon Silver, and City Council member Margaret S. Chin, says, “as we have communicated repeatedly, this communitybased programming is absolutely essential at North Cove.” The letter then goes on to cite the programs created by Mr. Fortenbaugh as a model for what they expect to see the new operators offer: “It is our understanding that the Manhattan Sailing School offered a number of popular public amenities, including: junior sailing programs with scholarships; communal sailing allowing amateur sailors to board vessels being operated by more experienced sailors; community access to the Honorable William Wall—a twostory waterborne clubhouse; and membership in a sailing club of which many community members took advantage. It is imperative that these programs and level of accessibility be maintained by the new Ma- “By March, the worst of the winter would be over.

The Constitutional Convention had considered, “Serene Highness,” “Elective Highness,” and “Elective Majesty.” Washington’s vice president, John Adams, proposed, “His Benign Highness” and “His Highness, the President of the United States and Protector of Their Liberties.” Adams’s rivals in the Senate responded by dubbing Adams “His Rotundity” and “His Superfluous Excellency.” Washington (who secretly preferred being called, “the General”) remained characteristically silent throughout, and in the end, the House of Representatives (which appears to have found the whole controversy slightly ridiculous) settled the matter by deciding on the simple-but-elegant, “Mr. President.” the corner of Vesey Street), from 10am to 4pm.

Scientists call this cognitive bias “pareidolia,” and it is as universal as recognizing the man in the moon or seeing the face of Satan in photos of smoke from the burning World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. A sturdier form of speculation, we thought, is the provenance of the ice itself, which was likely born weeks ago along the upper reaches of what Henry Hudson called “the North River,” then broke free and began its slow southward migration, and is now hours from the open sea, where it is fated to deliquesce and disappear.

Then, following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, “he helped raise $17 million in capital funds from corporate donors to open Millennium High School in the Financial District. This was a moment when the eyes of the nation and the world were on Lower Manhattan, and it was the first time that a community has raised this kind of money to open a new school.” A few years later, Mr. Hovitz remembers, “the developers of a new building near the Brooklyn Bridge had an agreement with Pace University, which wanted to lease space there.

More recently, Mr. Silver was instrumental in negotiating an agreement between the federal government and the City’s Department of Education (DOE) to take over the building that once housed the Peck Slip post office, and convert it into a new school, as well. (The Peck Slip School is now slated to open in September of this year.) And last year, Mr. Silver led a fight to stop a DOE plan to move the highly regarded Tribeca school, P.S. 150, out of the neighborhood. “He helped build the Downtown Community Center,” says Bob Townley, executive director of Manhattan Youth, which is headquartered in the Warren Street facility that opened in 2008. (Last year, Mr. Silver also intervened to stop a Battery Park City Authority plan to close another community center, this one located in Stuyvesant High School.) “Shelly also built ballfields, parks, continued from page 1 and hospitals,” Mr. Townley continues. “After September 11, he directed the recovery of Lower Manhattan, securing grants for tenants and benefits for homeowners, along with a thousand other things, large and small. I remember in the days after September 11, Shelly got permission for Manhattan Youth vans to pass through police check points and drive over the Battery Park City Esplanade, so we could transport people to grocery stores.” “After September 11,” adds Mr. Hovitz, “Shelly arranged for water and food to be brought into Lower Manhattan, and then got portable electrical generators trucked in. And he did the same things all over again after Hurricane Sandy.” “He was a leader on affordable housing,” recalls Tom Goodkind, a Battery Park City resident and member of CB1, who has been a principal advocate in the struggle to preserve rent protections in Lower Manhattan. Three times, in 1998, 2005, and 2009, Mr. Silver took part in negotiations that created (and subsequently preserved) a form of rent protection for tenants in Gateway Plaza, Battery Park City’s largest residential complex. “In addition to the big issues, there were so many smaller things that it’s easy to forget,” says Mr. Hovitz. “Shelly singlehandedly stopped the Bloomberg plan for congestion pricing, which would have required Lower Manhattan residents to pay a toll every time they drove into or out of their neighborhood, and would have been a disaster for everybody who lives here. He arranged for crossing guards at dangerous intersections on West Street. He made grants to keep the senior center at Southbridge Towers operating.” “Downtown had one of the most powerful people in the State representing us,” Mr. Goodkind reflects. “For this, Sheldon Silver will be greatly missed. For this, he will not be forgotten.” “Downtown may never have another leader as helpful as Shelly Silver,” says Mr. Townley. “He has a legacy that cannot be disputed.” “The future of Lower Manhattan is going to be very different without him as Speaker,” says Mr. Hovitz. “Losing Sheldon Silver is going to be a body blow to this community.” THERE WILL BE JOY IN MILLENNIUMVILLE, THIS SPRING... “When I asked PSAL why we were turned part of our mission in Lower Manhattan,” explains Friedman. “So our work isn’t done, yet.

Ro Sheffe, chair of Community Board 1's Financial District Committee welcomed the neighborhood's latest lodging impresarios by saying, “they are in the right place and the right time.” Indeed, as tourists and business travelers flock to Lower Manhattan, innkeepers are seeing green. There are 15 hotel projects under construction or nearing completion in Lower Manhattan (including the new Marriott Residence Inn), according to a May 2014 report from the Downtown Alliance, with three more in the planning stages. These projects will add a total of 3,700 hotel rooms to the area by 2016, doubling its current capacity. The new Marriott Residence Inn is an all-suite hotel, with 243 studio and one-bedroom lodgings. Designed for stays of five nights or more, each suite has a fullyequipped kitchen with a coffeemaker, microwave oven and residential-sized appliances. With thoughtful nods to the neighborhood’s storied past (when Maiden Lane was populated by clockmaking and imported jewelry businesses), the new Marriott Residence Inn features giant time pieces in rooms and in the lobby. Artwork evokes an optimistically uptick graph of stock prices, and decorative shipping crates will enable guests to channel their inner stevedore.

SHADES OF GREEN Anchorage Argument: North Cove Marina, which is legally mapped as parkland, has been the focus of recent controversy, as the Battery Park City Authority decided (in spite of overwhelming opposition from the community and local elected officials) to take control of the facility away from local resident and small businessman Michael Fortenbaugh in order to award the contract to operate the yacht basin to Brookfield Properties, a company with no experience in marina management, that also owns the nearby Brookfield Place office and retail complex rina operator.” The letter additionally notes the, “extremely strong community interest in this issue,” which may be a reference to a campaign that included multiple public meetings that drew hundreds of participants, a petition that garnered more than 2,000 signatures, and a unanimous resolution from Community Board 1. The letter concludes, “we look forward to meeting with you and your team at the earliest possible convenience.” A spokesman for the BPCA said in a statement, “we received the letter and look forward to meeting with the group.” Under STRESS?

Harwayne In Battery Park City Board Certified Acupuncturist 212-786-9292 BPCA Plans Turf for West Thames Park Lawn T Accepting BlueCross BlueShield ACUPUNCTURE-DOC.COM By Matthew Fenton he Battery Park City Authority (BPCA) plans to resurface of 14,000-square-foot grass lawn with artificial turf, to enable year-around play. The field, in West Thames Park (between Albany and West Thames Street, near the Rector Place pedestrian bridge), “gets a lot of use, unorganized play,” said Authority president Shari Hyman at the January 22 meeting of the BPCA’s board. “We don’t issue permits there, but many small children play soccer and t-ball, so the wear and tear on grass is significant.” Ms. Hyman added, “there has been some comment from the community that in the southern portion of Battery Park City, there should be an area for open play that doesn’t have to be closed during the season when the grass is seeded. This would be the perfect place to do that.” She continued, “we’re seeking the board’s approval to allocate some moneys from the capital budget to place artificial turf on the West Thames Park area with the intention of making this a year-round open space for Battery Park City residents and the public to come and play.” Board member Martha Gallo asked, “is the space big enough for a ball field,” and Ms. Hyman replied, “it is not. We do not intend,” to issue permits for organized team sports.” She noted, also, “we get a lot of feedback that there’s not a lot of green space in the southern part of Battery Park City that’s open year round. We’re trying to respond to that community request by coming up with a space that’s a logical place for year-round play.” The estimated cost of the project is approximately $425,000, which BPCA management plans to allocate from the Authority’s general infrastructure funds. “We believe that there will be some savings that becomes associated with it after the expenditure of capital funds in that we won’t need the constant maintenance of that park,” Ms. Hyman observed. There will be some maintenance, but the con- stant seeding, mowing, planting is not going to be as much of a process.” Although the proposal has not yet been put out to bid, BPCA management brought it before the Authority’s board in hope of expediting the project. “What we’re trying to do by putting this on the agenda now is see if we can logically get it done by mid-spring so that it can then be enjoyed all year round,” Ms. Hyman explained. BPCA chair Dennis Mehiel noted that the expected savings in maintenance, “will be about $70,000 a year. When we get into six-year paybacks, in the private sector, we don’t normally get too excited about that. But in this case, our cost of capital is about $8,000 on the $450,000 budget, we can pick up $70,000 in savings, so we get an instant, very, very positive impact on cash-flow on a current basis.” “And once the $450,000 is earned back,” Mr. Mehiel added, “we’re going to save a reasonable amount of money going forward and Lower Manhattan’s first International Baccalaureate for elementary & middle school West Thames Lawn the community picks up 12 months of use, instead of five or six. It seems like a win-win.” Ms. Gallo, the only member of the BPCA board who lives in New York City, remarked, “as a resident of the south neighborhood, it seems like a good idea.” Board member Donald Capoccia asked Battery Park City Parks Conservancy chief Tessa Huxley, “am I right that this is going to ease the Conservancy’s work load?” Ms. Huxley replied, “I don’t think it’s clear until we see how many dog walkers use it. We have a real dog issue there, so we may want to propose a fence of some kind.” Pine Street School combines two globally recognized best practices — Montessori and International Baccalaureate — for a uniquely powerful learning experience. The curriculum includes real world applications, mastery in English and Spanish, community service, travel, substance, diversity and absolute engagement. It is a truly innovative way to prepare students to be problem solvers and thought leaders. Now enrolling Kindergarten, 1st Grade & 2nd Grade for 2015-2016 WILL LOWER MANHATTAN BE LEFT HIGH AND DRY WHEN RESILIENCY RESOURCES ARE METED OUT? continued from page 1 the review process.” Ms. McVay Hughes added that, “Lower Manhattan is in desperate need of immediate resiliency and hardening measures. Existing plans for such measures, such as the Lower Manhattan Multi-Purpose Levee, are long-term projects that will not effectively protect Lower Manhattan for several decades.” She noted that even the small amount of money (approximately $1.5 million) allocated to study proposed resiliency measures within CB1 is for an area of the East River waterfront that, “does not include the tip of Lower Manhattan nor any portion along the Hudson River. We support the allocation of funding for this feasibility study, but we request that the study be expanded to cover the entire coastline of CB1, including the Battery and the West side up to Canal Street.” Ms. McVay Hughes has been joined by a phalanx of Lower Manhattan leaders in fighting to redress this imbalance. The group, which includes State Senator Daniel Squadron, City Council member Margaret Chin, and Downtown Alliance president Jessica Lappin met February 6 at City Hall with de Blasio Administration officials. “We are clearly one of the neighborhoods that was hardest hit and we should be right up there when it comes to both shortterm and long-term planning and implementation,” Ms. Lappin says. “So I raised a little bit of a fuss.” “The goal is two-fold,” Ms. Lappin observes. “First to determine can we do in the short term, three to five years, to protect us from another massive storm. And second, longer term, in the ten-to-20 year range, to ask what are we doing in a bigpicture fashion to protect Lower Manhattan.” Ms. Lappin adds, “this is critical not only because we're the fourth-largest central business district in the nation, but also because of the infrastructure we have here. The subway lines all come together in Lower Manhattan, Verizon is headquartered here, the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel is here. So anything that happens here affects the whole City.” Senator Squadron says, “I've been pushing, along with my colleagues, the Community Board, and the Downtown Alliance, to make sure Lower Manhattan gets the resiliency funding it needs. Our continued conversations with the City, including last week's meeting, are part of moving that forward. There's no question that Hurricanes Sandy and Irene showed that Lower Manhattan is one of the most vulnerable parts of the City, even though it lies in the center of the harbor. That's why this effort West Street, as seen looking north from the Rector Place pedestrian bridge, during Hurricane Sandy with the City, my colleagues and the Downtown Alliance is so important.” City Council member Margaret Chin says, “alongside my local elected colleagues, I've made it clear to the de Blasio administration that the safety and security of our growing Lower Manhattan community requires a strong focus on storm resiliency, so our residents and businesses can be prepared for another Hurricane Sandy. By meeting directly with the Mayor's staff, we sent an even stronger message to the administration regarding the fundamental importance of this issue.” “It is almost two years, dozens of meetings and presentations later, and it is time to move from words to implementation of real solutions to protect Lower Manhattan from extreme climate change events,” says Ms. McVay Hughes. “The City's commitment at this junction will be judged on how much money they plan to invest and how quickly. Extreme weather events do not wait for a City budget allocation -- Mother Nature has her own timetable.” Among the concerns raised by this group are the possibility that some storm-readiness measures underway elsewhere in Manhattan may have the unintended affect of increasing the danger to Downtown. “It is especially important to study how partially implemented resiliency measures, such as Phase 1 of the 'BIG U' proposal,” says Ms. McVay Hughes, in reference to a project that would create a storm barrier to deflect East River flood waters, “which only goes from Montgomery Street to East 23rd Street, would redirect water into adjacent threatened areas, including CB1.” The groundwork created by engineering analyses, feasibility studies, and environmental reviews may become critically important, says Ms. Lappin, because, “when money becomes available from the State or the federal government, you have to be ready to move.” Ms. Lappin added, “if you're not prepared, you're never going to get funding.” The next step in the struggle to secure for Lower Manhattan a fair share of preparedness funding may shift to Albany, where the administration of Governor Andrew Cuomo is poised to announce allocations for as much as $25 million in support for studies of proposed storm-readiness measures.

St. Paul’s Chapel | Broadwa wayy and Fulton Street trinit initywal ywallstreet.org/stpauls the broadsheet LETTERS To the Editor: I’d like to offer a hearty congratulations and heartfelt thanks to Coach Brian Friedman of Millennium High School for the work he did to correct the gender imbalance in the athletics department at his school. When he recognized that the majority of slots in school teams were set aside for boys in a school that is 60 percent female, he went above and beyond to create a girls softball team to address some of that imbalance. He is to be lauded for taking the initiative and organizing a fundraising drive to raise the $9,800 needed when the school district told him another team wasn’t in the budget. Unfortunately the administration has told Coach Friedman that the newly created softball team must continue to raise nearly $10,000/year in order to stay on the field. I think the administration is looking at the problem the wrong way. Millennium’s athletics budget has been unfairly divided, favoring boys teams at the expense of girls teams for years. Failure to raise the $10,000/year needed to begin to correct that imbalance should not result in cutting a girls team but instead should result in cutting a boys team. This would have a number of positive effects: First, it would teach a valuable lesson about discrimination and who should shoulder the burden of correcting it. Currently, the discriminated against party is being asked to raise the money or face the consequences. Second, it would engage a far broader slice of the community in raising the money needed or agitating for a larger budget from the city. Finally, it would lead to a fairer outcome should the effort fail in the future. Ideally every child at Millennium should be offered a chance to compete. But if we as a society choose to fund school athletic programs, we should not compound this wrong by spending what money we have in a discriminatory fashion. Good luck to the new girls softball team, and to all our student athletes. Andrew Greenblatt, Father of a 4th Grader To the Editor: Wednesday’s article of the BroadsheetDAILY titled “Plaza Sweet” highlighted a prime example of Downtown Alliance’s diligence and dedication to enhancing the quality of life in Lower Manhattan. With a legacy of strong leadership, the Alliance has proved to be a staunch advocate for Downtown development for the past 20 years. As mentioned in Wednesday’s piece, one of the most appreciated services offered by the Alliance has been the Downtown Connection Bus, which allows the public to navigate Lower Manhattan free of charge throughout the entire week. With approximately half of the Connection bus stops within Battery Park City, this method of transportation is of particularly high value to our neighborhood’s residents. While unmentioned in the article, the Battery Park City Authority annually provides over $600,000 to the Alliance to ensure Battery Park City residents and visitors continue to be served. Our partnership with the Alliance on the Downtown Connection is just one example of the Authority’s commitment to quality of life enhancements for its residents and we are proud to have found such a strong partner in the Alliance. —Shari C.

These phenomena are so special that inviting a child along to observe the sky shortly after sundown, especially from the 18th – 23rd, would reward both adult and child. Of these dates the 20th and 21st are not to be missed. Brilliant planet Venus shines above the west-southwest skyline and, as twilight deepens, diminutive orange-gold planet Mars, tiny by contrast, appears above Venus until the 21st. The distance between them is narrowing everyday. The two planets continue to move closer together each evening, culminating on Friday, the 20th, when a waxing, eyelash crescent moon joins the pair the day before their closest approach. The dance continues through the 23rd. Mars and Venus appear side by side then switch positions in good do-si-do fashion. Venus gradually separates from Mars, ascending higher in the evening sky. At nightfall the planet reveals to us why it is named for the goddess of love and beauty. It is the brightest celestial object after the sun and moon. All the while it can even be seen from indoors if you have a west-facing window and clear view to the horizon. Venus is known as the Evening Star and the Morning Star; it is not an all-nighter, rather it follows sunset or precedes sunrise in a predictable rhythm. Currently, as Evening Star, Venus is visible for about two hours, disappearing into the western horizon shortly after nightfall. CALENDAR WED 18 The Search for the White Rose To mark the 72nd anniversary of the arrests and subsequent executions of Sophie and Hans Scholl, The Anne Frank Center USA will screen Peter Logue’s film about the White Rose resistance movement. This short documentary focuses on retelling the story of the small group of German students who formed a clandestine resistance against the Nazis. Through interviews with scholars and current University of Munich students, The Search for the White Rose explores the legacy of the movement for a new generation of German students, asking how such stories of resistance have helped shape their sense of German identity.
