2019 REVIEW
Friday morning.
Child Victims Act:
Eighty-seven victims of childhood
sex abuse fi led suits in
Brooklyn Supreme Court in
the fi rst month since state
lawmakers open up a yearlong
lookback window — known
as the Child Victims Act. The
law enacted on Aug. 14 gives
child sex abuse victims a renewed
chance to seek justice
against their abusers regardless
of statute of limitations.
In September, 10 victims fi led
separate lawsuits against the
Catholic Church’s Brooklyn
Diocese and multiple Brooklyn
based clergyman, claiming
they were abused between
1950 and 1980.
Fast as F: The Metropolitan
Transportation Authority
debuted a controversial
express version the F-train
on Sept. 16. The agency scheduled

TRUNK SHOW
&
COURIER LIFE,16 DEC. 27, 2019-JAN. 2, 2020
two Manhattan-bound
and two Coney Island-bound
express trains in the mornings
and evenings, respectively,
skipping six stations
between Jay Street-Metro-
Tech and Church Avenue. The
move divided the borough
along north-south lines, with
southern residents happy
to have a quicker commute
to the distant Isle and their
northern counterparts angry
because the speedier shuttles
skip many stops in brownstone
neighborhoods that are
already at capacity during
rush hours.
Triple digits: Sheepshead
Bay resident Rosalie Davi
celebrated her 100th birthday
with friends, family and
a beer on Sept. 22. The party
featured a disk jockey, a
Frank Sinatra impersonator,
and custom made hats and
mugs featuring a cartoon version
of the southern Brooklyn
centenarian, who came into
the world the same year the
US banned the sale of alcohol,
the Chicago White Sox threw
the World Series, and women
gained the right to vote.
Dog poop: The Gowanus
Canal showed higher levels
of microscopic poop following
three storms last spring,
which one local water tester
attributed to dog poop fl ushing
into the putrid waterway
via a new drainage system
designed to keep sewage
from further polluting Brooklyn’s
Nautical Purgatory. Reporter
Kevin Duggan and Eymund
Diegel — a member of
the Gowanus Canal Community
Advisory Group, which
watches over the waterway’s
federal cleanup — took their
lives into their own hands
during a weekly morning
sampling session of the water
on Sept. 26.
Not Golden: Former state
Sen. Marty Golden welched
on an election year promise to
allocate $4 million for repairs
to a deteriorating Marine
Park playground. Golden
promised the funds on the
eve of a hotly contested general
election against Democrat
Andrew Gounardes, but
the funds never materialized
more than 10 months after

Reporter Kevin Duggan and environmental planner Eymund Diegel collected
samples of Gowanus water where Diegel discovered that dog poop
washing off the street during rainfall still pollutes the putrid waterway.
