Brooooooklyn! Stand up! On this episode of #LatinosOutLoud, @RachelLaLoca heads back to her old stomping grounds, the borough of Brooklyn, to sit and chat with Borough President, Antonio Reynoso on location at Borough Hall. Antonio Reynoso is Brooklyn's 20th Borough President. Born and raised in Los Sures, Williamsburg, Borough President Reynoso is the youngest Borough President elected to a four-year term, the first Latino to hold the office in the borough, and the first Dominican to be elected as a Borough President in NYC! In his first year in office, Borough President Reynoso set an ambitious goal to make Brooklyn the safest borough in New York City to give birth. Building on that commitment, the Borough President announced a new partnership with Rachel's Alma mater, CUNY Brooklyn College, to launch New York State's first credit-bearing Perinatal Mental Health (PMH) Advanced Certificate Program. The program will prepare healthcare, mental health, early intervention, and early educational professionals to support pregnant mothers and birthing parents experiencing mental distress.

At his recent State of the Borough address, Reynoso introduced the public to Brooklyn's first-ever Arts Ambassador: renowned multi-disciplinary artist and fashion designer Colm Dillane, also known as KidSuper.  Follow Rachel La Loca Follow BP Reynoso and while you're at it, follow the yellow brick road! #Brooklyn #BoroughPresident #AntonioReynoso #RachelLaLoca #LatinosOutLoud #Podcast

You are at stop # 6, the Belmar Borough Hall. We're stopping here to tell you about a few important displays inside the lobby and we hope you'll take a few minutes to enjoy them if the building is open. The first honors the brave and gallant men who served aboard the U.S.S. Juneau, a light cruiser that took part in 17 major battles and earned five battle stars during World War II. It was torpedoed and sunk by a Japanese submarine on November 13, 1942, killing all but 10 of the 700 men aboard. Those who made the ultimate sacrifice included four young men from Belmar, whose photos hang in our memorial. Another display commemorates the legacy of first females to serve as lifeguards in Belmar among an all-male squad in the 1940's. Highlighting the display is a portrait of the late Jeanne Bonk Baldino, one of three women to officially guard our beaches to keep swimmers safe. The stunning painting was done by well-known Belmar artist Suzanne Anan. And don't miss her portrait of Howard Roland, who stood watch over the Belmar beachfront for nearly sixty years, at one time having the distinction of being the world's oldest active lifeguard. Our stop #44, the Howard Roland Pavilion, is named for this Belmar icon. Finally, enjoy the revolving display by the Belmar Historical Society, which always features some interesting and fun facts.

You are at stop #29 on the Belmar Treasure Trail: our Butterfly Waystation. There are many stunning landscape gardens throughout Belmar, but the real beauty behind this group of plantings is two-fold. First, the garden is what is known as a “rain garden,” which means it was designed to reduce pollution in Silver Lake. A major cause of water pollution throughout the industrialized world comes from rainwater that picks up pet waste, fertilizers, road oils and other toxins as it runs across paved surfaces and winds up in waterways. This garden is designed to keep those kinds of invisible – and not so invisible – pollutants out of our lake. It was created by the Belmar Environmental Commission to divert polluted runoff from the road into a vegetative system. The second purpose, as you can probably tell by the lovely sign and bench, is to serve as a breeding area and stop-over for butterflies and other pollinators. In particular, it is a beautiful waystation for monarch butterflies, who lay their eggs on the milkweed plants here. The eggs hatch into very hungry caterpillars that form their chrysalises here before emerging as beautiful butterflies. If you look a walk a little further south, you'll see the sign for this park, Ferruggiaro Park at Silver Lake. It was named in remembrance of John E. Ferruggiaro, who was a Belmar Commissioner for 26 years. He served with John Taylor and Peter Maclearie, who are also honored with landmarks in our borough. Interestingly, Mr. Ferruggiaro, the son of Italian immigrants, was a member of the first graduating class of Belmar Elementary School, and he threw out the first ball on the town's ball field across from the school. Sadly, his brother Alfie was one of four Belmar men who died in the sinking of the USS Juneau during World War II, which we talk about in our stops at Monument Row and Borough Hall.

New York can regularly make more than $500 million in parking tickets a year. Yet many city officials have been allowed to park illegally simply by displaying a city-issued parking placard. Many call this placard abuse.

EPISODE 281: Downtown Brooklyn has a history that is often overlooked by New Yorkers. You'd be forgiven if you thought Brooklyn's civic center -- with a bustling shopping district and even an industrial tech campus -- seemed to lack significant remnants of Brooklyn's past; many areas have been radically altered and hundreds of old structures have been cleared over the decades. But, in fact, Downtown Brooklyn is one of the few areas to still hold evidence of the borough's glorious past -- its days as an independent city and one of the largest urban centers in 19th century America.  Around Brooklyn City Hall (now Borough Hall) swirled all aspects of Brooklyn's Gilded Age society. With the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge and a network of elevated railroad lines, Downtown Brooklyn became a major destination with premier department stores on Fulton Street, entertainment venues like the Brooklyn Academy of Music and exclusive restaurants like Gage & Tollners. The 20th century brought a new designation for Brooklyn -- a borough of Greater New York -- and a series of major developments that attempted to modernize the district -- from the creation of Cadman Plaza to New York's very first "tech hub". In 2004 a major zoning change brought a new addition to the multi-purpose neighborhood -- high-end residential towers. What will the future hold for the original heart of the City of Brooklyn?

An additional $12 million was added last year for adult literacy programs, but advocates are worried some programs may be in jeopardy after the release of Mayor Bill de Blasio’s preliminary budget for the 2019 fiscal year failed to include the additional funding.

I recently had the honor of sitting down with Brooklyn Borough President, Eric Adams to hear more about his journey back to health using plant-based nutrition. Adams has turned his personal success into a citywide campaign. He holds discussions about the benefits of a plant-based diet at the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, has implemented a policy mandating all events at Borough Hall have plant-based options, and has built a community for doctors who focus on plant-based nutrition. Not to mention, he has helped start community-based plant-based challenges in churches to further spread the message that a plant-based diet leads to better health and longevity. Eric Adams is all about empowering people and giving them the tools they need to fight for a better food system.
