When someone has a bat, don’t mess with them.

Ridgites Try to Help Dog in Locked Car on 78th Street
There is a dog locked in a car for over an hour on 78th Street between 4th and 5th Avenues. It’s too hot for a dog to sit in a car, unless then air conditioner is on.
Good Bay Ridge residents are trying to get the dog help.
They called the fire department and the fire department is closed today (that’s strange)
They called the police and the police called for backup to break a window. Then the owner came out of his house and the police gave him a warning.

The Coast Guard Pulled Clearwater’s Sailboat Out of the Sail 4th 250 Procession Near Bay Ridge
In Bay Ridge, the Coast Guard pulled up to Clearwater’s sailboat and demanded that they turn around towards the Verrazzano Bridge because their sails were displaying two political messages. See video:
Clearwater’s sail had a banner which read, “Save the Clean Water Act.”
And on the other side of the sail, they had a banner which read: Indigenous Rights, Racial Justice, Climate Solutions.”
Clearwater followed their orders and returned south of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. After 3:00 pm, they were able to sail back. David Toman, the executive director said there was nothing offensive about their signage – it’s environmental awareness that so many people care about and is a necessity for our future.
Hudson River Sloop Clearwater is a non-profit organization, which has been providing environmental education programs in NY. Info:

Mini Brownout in Bay Ridge – Short Power Outage
The power went out for a minute at 3:14 pm, but then came back on. It blinked off a few more times. Unfortunately, some Bay Ridge residents and businesses weren’t as lucky.
ConEd reduced the voltage in our area now, so large appliances may not work as well as usual. If your air conditioner doesn’t feel as cold, that’s the reason why.
Dyker Heights and Bath Beach residents are sharing that the same thing has happened in their area.
Some people lost cable/Internet for a few minutes through Spectrum as well.
Sadly, that small brownout cost some businesses their electrical devices. : (

One Small Flag Added to The Verrazzano Bridge
Update: Putting up this small flag was a whole day of work for MANY people. Look: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1D2mEkPkbh
When Brooklynites heard that an American flag was being added to the Verrazzano Bridge for Americas 250th birthday, we were excited!
One small flag was added to the bridge. I don’t mean o sound ungrateful, but it’s America’s 250th birthday! Put ten of these flags on the bridge.

Update: The flag looks better to those who are driving on the bridge:
Skinflints Restaurant at 7902 – 5th Avenue has a bigger flag than the bridge. Go to Skinflints!
