The Civic Council membership heard reports on the progress of its various committees and elected a new slate of officers to serve in the coming year.The new officers include Robert Burton, president; Richard Dearnley, first vice president; John Cassara, second vice president; Evelyn McBride, treasurer; Dick Coyne, recording secretary; Ann Ellis, membership secretary; and Maurice Adelman, financial secretary.Past president John Noonan was the keynote speaker. Noonan reviewed the events of a very eventful year for Park Slope and the Civic Council, a year which included the drive against prostitution in the Dean Street-Times Plaza area, the landmarks designation for Park Slope, the proposal and defeat of the Seventh Avenue Mall concept, the fight to stop the expansion of bars and cabarets along Flatbush Avenue, the struggle of tenants in a blighted building on Garfield Place, and the beginnings of a beautification program for Fourth Avenue. The Civic Council played an instrumental role in each of these issues and developments. (John Noonan's address appears in Community Forum on Page 11, this issue.)Frank Martinez reported on the progress in the upgrading of the lower Slope in the Times Plaza area. Martinez said that the prostitutes have now been scattered from the neighborhood and no longer work as boldly from the stoops and streetcorners of the area. He cited the involvement of City Councilman Fred Richmond as decisive in turning the tide. %u201c Ever since Richmond got involved, things have died down tremendously in the mostI The Community Bookstore of Park S b g ie II w ill open a good bookstore on IMontague Street jOpenMon.-Fri.11:30 am-lOpmTWO STEPSDOWN240 Dekalb Ave.RESTAURANT LUNCHEON & DINNERBring your favorite wine78 3-9 239QueenRestaurantf i n e s t9 8 C o u rt st.

She thanked the Civic Council for their continued support, anticipating a reciprocal membership program between the two groups. She listed the accomplishments of the Committee, which have become manifest in the current repaving program for Flatbush Avenue%u2014the new tree plantings, the initiation of new triangle parks, the group%u2019s new newsletter, the clean-up campaign, and the breakfast series held in November and May to improve community-merchant relations and communications. Penny Mongin was selected as the new co-chairperson %u201eof the Committee, along with Joe Shapiro of Triangle Stores.Harry Tarzian, proprietor of Tarzian Hardware, reported for another group allied with the Civic Council%u2014the Seventh Avenue Betterment Committee. He reported the early successes of the coordinated block sweep, which has made inroads to clearing away the Avenue%u2019s most pressing problem. He said that the Committee%u2019s architectural committee, now called the Physical Improvements Committee, is currently working with merchants to promote design continuity in storefront changes to be made along Park Slope%u2019s main shopping street.Evelyn Ortner, chairperson of the Council%u2019s landmarks preservation committee, reported her committee%u2019s continuing efforts to promote preservation in the neighborhood since last November%u2019s Historic District designation. Several violations have been reported through her committee to the City, and civil action is slated in the future. She asked the Civic Council to consider petitions to expand the Landmarks District to deserving adjacent areas.After the committee reports, President-elect Rob Burton took the podium. He listed his three main goals for the coming months: to inaugurate a membership drive for the Council; to come to some final community resolution of the Methodist Hospital expansion issue; and to fill the Council%u2019s ailing coffers. If next year is as eventful and successful for the Civic Council as the one past, the prospect of fulfilling these and many other programs of Park Slope%u2019s most active civic association is good indeed.SHIP AND SNIP !
