Sister City On Agenda For Community Board SixSummer vacation is almost over for Community Board Six and at its first meeting scheduled for September 10, members will discuss the adoption of a Brooklyn Sister Citv proposal with San Juan de Rio, a city in northern Nicaragua.The committees, which have been meeting during the two-month vacation period, are also gearing up and the Transportation Committee meeting Sept. 11 will include a presentation of the reconstruction of Fifth Ave. between Flatbush Ave. and 1st Street.The Sister City proposal is being discussed by the full board because no committee exists to review the issue beforehand. Sister City supporters say the project will help bringtogether the political and cultural differences existing between the U.S. and Nicaragua. The project would include medical and material assistance and cultural exchanges between the two cities.The full-board meeting is scheduled to begin at 6:30pm and will be held at I.S. 293 atCourt St. and Butler Place.The reconstruction of Fifth Avenue is now in the preliminary design phase and the plans will be discussed the following night at the Transportation Committee meeting. The project, which will be 85 percent Federally funded and 15 percent City-funded, is part of the West way Trade-In program and has an estimated cost of approximately $9,783,009.80.The reconstruction calls for new asphalt and the replacement of the road base and what the engineers described as %u201cdefective curbs and sidewalks.%u201d The street, which has commercial and residential use is described by the engineers in %u201cfair to poor%u201d condition.The meeting is set to begin at 6pm at the 9th Street YMCA, 357 9th St.CB6 includes the Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Red Hook, Boerum Hill and Park Slope neighborhoods. Call 643-3027 for more information. %u2014 R.T.Settlement House Celebrates 100th BirthdayBY JARED R. CLOUD%u201cWhat is a community?%u201d Father Louie Milazzo asks in his benediction for the August 23 celebration of the 100th anniversary of New York City%u2019s Settlement Houses. %u201cA community is mothers, fathers, and children joining together for the purpose of unity,%u201d the way a garden, with all its diversity of flora, is united.This pride in the community seems to be a theme at Colony-South Brooklyn House the oldest Settlement House in Brooklyn that participated in this celebration. After Father Louie%u2019s benediction, the Gowanus Wildcats, a drill team, gave a performance which included a rap by team leader Renee Flowers (called %u201cMiss Juice%u201d ), in which the rest of the team chanted %u201cBrooklyn, Brooklyn.%u201d After the Wildcats finished, there was an intermission before the Zillettes%u2014stars for the d a y - performed.The Zillettes are a group of girls, all 16 and under, who perform in a program, called Zilla, run by CSBH. Manny Perez, Director of the Community Service Center for the Brooklyn Association of Settlement Houses, runs the program. When asked what Zilla stands for, he recited the answer. %u201cZ is for the Zeal; I is for the Inspiration of the young and the new generation; L is for the Love that is spread throughout the land, with this Love comes the brotherhood of man; L is for Life, our greatest treasure, the gift we share without measure; A is for Achievements new and old, and beyond the rainbow there is a pot of gold,%u201dThere were approximately 50 people gathered in the P.S. 38 schoolyard in Boerum Hill by the time the Gowanus Wildcats had finished performing. Many of the spectators had barely noticed the Settlement House was there, but saw the signs for the performance and stopped by out of curiosity. While the 100th anniversary is a celebration of how long the Settlements have lasted, the celebration itself may help them last even longer.Colony-South Brooklyn Houses provide services to immigrants, homeless, and lowincome people, including day care centers, asenior citizens center, youth-oriented community centers, a summer youth employment program, a day care center for severely handicapped children, a Job Testing Assessment and Placement Center, an alternative Junior High School, mental retardation staff training program, and the Amboy Neighborhood Center which houses families left homeless by fire.
