A caring heart and dependable home urgently needed NOW. A stunning black two to three-year-old little girl was in a Queens apartment that was padlocked for weeks. Her previous owner suddenly moved away, leaving Misty behind. “She wandered about looking for something to eat. Sadly, she was without the basics...food, water, love and companionship! A veterinarian tested, vaccinated and spayed her. She is healthy, a wee bit spooked, and needs a kind companion to ease the horrors of her horrific past. “She is a very sweet, friendly girl, who needs a positive, happy, loving future with YOU. Are YOU the special person who can open YOUR heart and home to Marvelous Misty? The rush is on...she can no longer stay at the vet's office. “Please help Misty...give this little girl new purrz-on-life! She does not want to linger in an overcrowded, under-staffed shelter, ignored because of her striking black color. Please save Misty; contact Sonnia at [email protected]. “We are not sure how she is with other cats because she has been alone. She might be better in an adult home with a patient, experienced, caring adopter. Thank you and God bless! ...View Misty's photo at http:// petfndr.co/2op3tgy. *** WARNING: LIVESTOCK GULLETS...

Education Council 20, which is headed by Laurie Windsor, will be highlighting its June monthly meeting agenda with a special salute to the PTA/PAs that serve all the public schools in District 20. The laudatory session will take place on Wednesday, June 11, at 7 p.m., at P.S./I.S. 30, 7001 Fourth Avenue. It will also be an opportunity for parents from other schools to see the interior of the district's newest school that was built on the former site of the Bay Ridge United Methodist Church aka the Green Church). * * * What an absolute terrific turnout for the street co-naming ceremonies in honor of the late, great Tom Kane. The block that Kane grew up on 88th street near Colonial Road was formally dedicated Tom Kane Way and was even blessed by Reverend Gerard Sauer, the pastor of St. Mel's Church, a former associate pastor at Bay Ridge's St. Patrick's Church and a personal friend. A host of dignitaries were on hand to join Kane's family, friends and associates on this auspicious occasion. City Councilmember Vinnie Gentile -- who ensured the full Council approved the co-naming, wrote in the program, "A lifelong Bay Ridge resident, Tom's tremendous contributions and achievements left an indelible mark on the community he loved so much." Close friend Frankie Marra sang and played "Forever Young" by Bob Dylan. Kane was a big, big Dylan fan! * * * Among the marching groups in the recent 147th annual Brooklyn Memorial Day Parade was the Society of Old Brookynites. The civic organization has been marching in every Brooklyn Memorial Day Parade since its founding in 1880. Its fi rst march was led by former Brooklyn Mayor John Ward Hunter, and the 2014 march was led by Society President and Brooklyn historian Ronald Schweiger. On Sunday, June 22, at 12:30 p.m., the society will be celebrating its 134th anniversary at the Bay Ridge Manor, 476 76th Street. The keynoter for the occasion will be society member and New York State Supreme Court Justice Arthur Schack who will be talking about the history of the Boy Scouts, prominent Eagle Scouts, and since he was a former attorney for Major League Baseball, a few hits, runs and strikes. Also on the program will be former Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz discussing his new role as vice president of borough promotion and engagement for NYC and Co. The event is open to the public. Reservations are only $46 which includes a full sit-down dinner. Contact Sherman Silverman at 718-748- 3165 or send him a check payable to the Society of Old Brooklynites, 340 Marine Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209. * * * Former Science Assistant Principal and a past Bay Ridge Community Council President, Tom Greene was back at Denyse Wharf and the adjoining small beach under the shadow of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge for his group's 25th Bi-Annual Wharf and Beach Cleanup. This year, he was joined by 75 high school and grade school volunteers. Greene continues to press efforts to establish a Marine Environmental Science Lab at the site. He is also currently a professor at Kingsborough College. Maria Makrinos, the new president of the Fort Hamilton High School Alumni Association, stopped, by bringing free doughnuts for all the volunteers. * * * The Kings County Republican Party is holding its 2014 Lincoln Day Reception and Dinner on Sunday, June 22, from noon to 3 p.m., at Gargiulo’s in Coney Island.

Term limited City Council Deputy Leader Vincent Gentile, who had hoped to land a Family Court judgeship via Mayor Bill de Blasio, which apparently didn't work out, recently launched his bid to become Brooklyn district attorney. As a result of having completed the unfinished term of former City Councilmember Marty Golden, who went on to become a state senator, successfully winning re-election several times, Gentile has been the longest serving city councilmember. Gentile was recently interviewed on New York 1's cable show, “The Road to City Hall,” hosted by Errol Louis, and held a campaign kickoff fundraiser at CEBU Bistro and Bar at 8801 Third Avenue. And there’s already been an embarrassing bump in the road, not to City Hall but to the DA race! The Stars and Stripes Democratic Club, headed by veteran Democratic District Leader Joe Bova, had scheduled a D.A. candidates' forum for this past Thursday evening at its clubhouse and left off the circular Gentile's name and photo as one of the invited candidates. Credit Gentile’s fast action and according to a reliable Democrat source, the "oversight" was quickly remedied and Gentile was now invited. However, don't invite Gentile and Democratic Assemblymember Peter Abbate to the same cocktail party! In addition, former way-back-then GOP City Councilmember at Large John Gangemi has tossed his chapeau into the county D.A. slugfest. * * * Despite the off-and-on rain, the MUFFIN’S PET CONNECTION e-mail: [email protected] BY JUDE LASSOW 59 Muffin’s Pet Connection email: [email protected] By JUDE LASSOW JACKSON GALAXY: “My Cat From Hell” TV program is seen on Animal Planet Saturday nights showing a calm behaviorist at a cat’s worst!
