Owens Wins BigContinued from Page 3%u201cOwen Augustin has the Republican line,%u201d he says. %u201cInnis cannot be a candidate unless he is nominated by the County (organization) and iiiis is noi going io happen.%u201dAugustin has received little attention from the public to date and is likely to get little, since the Democratic nomination in this district is tantamount to election, but a local Republican task force has been organized in Brooklyn to try in earnest to build some Republican Party support for the future here/ In addition to the Democratic nomination, Owens will also appear on the November ballot as the Liberal Party candidate. In addition to Augustin, he will also face Conservative Party and Right-to-Life Party candidate Joe Cesar., The November race, however, is insignificant stacked up against the primary victory over Innis. His landslide win, the second healthy win he has scored since his narrow victory over State Senator Vander Beatty four years ago to first go to Congress, not only shows a strong base of strength for him, but also for some of his political allies in the progressive Coalition for Community Empowerment, a group of Black Brooklyn elected officials.%u201cStay on hand for Roger Green and A1 Vann,%u201d Owens urged his supporters Tuesday nignt. Those two, incumbent members of the State Assembly from the 56th and 57th Districts of Brooklyn, lost their Democratic Party nominations Tuesday night since they weren%u2019t even on the ballot for re-nomination as a result of court decisions that invalidated their nominating petitions. Both, however, are seeking to win re-election in November as candidates on the Liberal Party line.With 75 percent of the votes in Owens%u2019 primary election coming from election districts in some of the same areas Vann and Green represent, the returns indicate that there is probably clear support among Democratic voters there for these fellow Coalition candidates. But, convincing Democrats to abandon their party habits to vote on the Liberal line is a clear political test for these workers and Owens vows to make it a test he and the Coalition will win.Senator Montgomery Wins In Primary MatchContinued from Page 3tory over Jefferson.%u201cIt%u2019s been a good night and it was a wonderful day,%u201d she said as she heard the news. %u201cI believe what we saw today has entrusted us with a sense that people want to see leadership and action.%u201d She cheered her supporters to grab balloons that dangled from the ceiling and for a moment the good cheer of the election victory was manifested in wild grabbing for the balloons that resulted in big bouquets tied to hands, a tangible product of the moment.Volunteers began to drift out into the night after extending their final congratulations to the winning candidate. Some, however, paused to reflect back on the campaign and look forward to what was to come. %u201cI had a tremendous, tremendous confidence,%u201d Furman Wells said, as the excitement wound down. Walls, coordinator of volunteers for the campaign, received the honor of charting the results of the election on the wall. %u201cAs I put the numbers up, I felt very confident. The Bedford Stuyvesant districts were some of the biggest concern, but as the first numbers came in, I knew it wasn%u2019t a concern anymore,%u201d he mused. Part of his confidence, he said, rested on the knowledge that Montgomery%u2019s opponent had not put in the work it took to win the election. %u201cIt just was not there and without it she didn%u2019t have a chance.%u201dWhen the clock struck 11, a scant fifteen campaign workers were left behind to wrap up the last details of the election day. The relief it was over was obvious on Montgomery%u2019s face as she began to hug those still present.Most of the balloons were now gone and the headquarters looked lonely and bare as oneby-one the remaining few departed to catch up on lost sleep and details of their own personal lives. The few who lingered on spoke not of politics, there was time for that tomorrow, but bestowed praises and wishes of good luck upon the victorious Senator. Most importantly, however, what was left behind and would remain with Montgomery for the next two years to come was the unquestionable support of her constituents. As the room cleared, the numbers on the wall became all the more visible and they were a permanent testimony to a successful first term.Technicalities Kept Incumbents Off The BallotContinued from Page 3courts refused to return candidates to the ballots for similar cover sheet problems.When Vann and Green were initially knocked out of the primary, the two veteran Assemblymembers made a great deal of noise accusing the Brooklyn Democratic organization of masterminding a plot to get them out of office. But after Green made peace with Howard Golden, the Democratic county leader as well as Brooklyn Borough President, and it became evident that no conspiracy existed, both Vann and Green softened their accusations and concentrated their efforts on the legal battles.Following a Sept. 4 decision by Circuit Judge Pratt, again denying Vann and Green any place on the Democratic primary ballot, a decision on a Supreme Court test had not been made. After five successive judicial decisions denying them primary slots, they began to place their attentions on winning the general election.Both Vann and Green are Liberal Party candidates and Green has also conducted a summer petitioning campaign to put his name on the ballot as an independent candidate in November. It will be in this votingforum that they will have the chance to face their Democratic Party opponents, Robert Hunter and Stanley Frere, both of whom win the Democratic Party nominations without a contest.Regardless of that election, BedfordStuyvesant%u2019s 56th A.D. has new Democratic District Leaders. Vann, along with Annette Robinson, were the former district leaders and did not appear on the ballot, and they will be replaced by Richard Taylor and Sylvia Fuel, the only candidates for the offices. Taylor and Fuel petitioned on the same slate as Hunter.The court-affected outcome of the Democratic Party nominations creates an interesting situation for the party organization in Brooklyn and its leader, Howard Golden. If the goal of the party regulars is to elect Democrats who have won the party%u2019s nomination, how will Golden and his leaders approach November election day in the 56th and 57th AD%u2019s with nominees who are opposed by the campaigns of Vann and Green? No one appears to be looking ahead to that moment yet, but real help for nominees Hunter and Frere in those districts could kill both Vann and Green%u2019s prospects.City Rejects Alternate Sites For Homeless ShelterOf the 24 sites that the 14th Street Armory Advisory Committee recommended as alternative locations for the shelter for homeless women, the City%u2019s Human Resources Administration has i ejected 20 and said four are acceptable, says Judy Kaiserman, the committee%u2019s presiding chair.Kaiserman reported the news at the Sept. 3 advisory group meeting where the shelter%u2019s new site director De Lois Wilkerson was introduced after she began working at the Park Slope armory last week.%u201cShe seems to be very cooperative, open, bright and articulate,%u201d says Kaiserman. %u201cIt is almost a ray of sunshine in the dilemma we ha*? with HR A.%u201d advisor** tee was formed after local residents objected to the presence of the shelter in their neighborhood. Initially, 70 men were housed at the armory during the evening, but last month, the men were replaced by women.%u201cWe still haven%u2019t got a handle on the situation with the women,%u201d says Kaiserman, who added that the block watchers have reported that the homeless women are drifting into the merchant streets of Seventh and Eighth Avenues, while the men had congregated near the Pritchard Square subway station. %u201cThere%u2019s not a steady flow of women in the streets yet to determine if there is any problem.%u201dKaiserman says that the committee%u2019s original commitment from HRA was that the city would close the armory shelter if the group found an alternative location within the Community Board Six boundaries thatn n n l H V trtu c n 7ft n a n n l n %u201c T K o f %u2019c o f il l n n runderstanding, but I don%u2019t know if it is HRA%u2019s,%u201d she added.The next meeting of the advisory committee is Sept. 17 at 6:30 in the armory.
