DEATH
on the way to her Gerritsen
Avenue home, cops
said.
The man fatally struck
Clinton as she headed
home from Ash Wednesday
service at Avenue S’s
Good Shepherd Church,
where she was a parishioner,
according to her
daughter, Jessica Clinton.
“She was well known
around Marine Park and
Good Shepherd school,”
her daughter said. “Everyone
loved Stella.”
Paramedics rushed
Clinton, who sustained
head trauma, to Kings
County Hospital, where
doctors pronounced her
dead, according to authorities,

who said the driver
remained on the scene until
cops arrived.
Police have yet to fi le
any charges, and their investigation
is ongoing, offi
cers said.
Clinton, who lived in
Marine Park for 41 years,
is survived by her four
children, nine grandchildren,
and four greatgrandchildren,
her daughter
said.
legged friends, and limit
their time off-leash to the
early hours before 9 am, the
local claimed.
On Sunday, March 3
at 8:30 am, however, half
a dozen offi cers with the
Parks Enforcement Patrol
suddenly appeared and
blocked all entrances to the
black-top area of the park,
issuing $50 citations to De
Jong and six other dog owners
one-by-one as they fi ltered
out of the recreation
space — a raid the Carroll
Gardener called excessive.
“That’s so many resources
for seven people
walking their dog on a Sunday
morning,” he said. “It
seems like you could spend
your resources on other
things.”
The sting outraged another
local dog walker, who
said offi cials should create
a dedicated space for
pups in Carroll Gardens
— where the closest places
that permit pooches to run
freely are Red Hook’s Di-
Mattina Dog Run or Hillside
Dog Park in Brooklyn
Heights — before penalizing
pet owners who just
want to give Fido a few minutes
to roam.
“I understand the rules
of the park, but they must
understand our needs and
that the dogs need space,”
said Carroll Gardener
Shayna Wellington, who
also received a ticket for
walking fuzzy buddy Sam
off-leash. “There must be a
compromise, even if it’s just
early morning hours.”
Parks Department offi
cials ordered the Sunday
raid, which agency patrolmen
followed with another
ambush on Monday morning,
in response to recent
complaints about locals
breaking Carroll Park’s
leash rules, according to
department spokeswoman
Maeri Ferguson.
And there are no further
stings scheduled, said
Ferguson, who added that
park police commonly patrol
on-leash parks during
the peak walking hours before
9 am.
The sudden change in
enforcement, however, is a
break from what De Jong
said was an unspoken understanding
between dog
owners and the park offi -
cers, who would routinely
show up at 8:55 am and give
folks a fi ve-minute heads
up to leash their mutts and
scram instead of ticketing
them.
“They would be there
at 8:55 am, waiting until 9
am, so everybody knew to
leash their dog and leave,”
he said.
And as along as pups
behave, there’s no reason
they shouldn’t get their
own time to play, according
to a Cobble Hill mom,
who claimed to never witness
any problems with unleashed
pooches at Carroll
Park.
“The park is for everyone;
we should accommodate
both parents and dog
owners,” said Lucy Ham,
who frequently visits the
recreation space with her
son. “The dogs are never
in the way of the kids at
the playground, they stay
in their own area, so I don’t
mind it.”
