And while he supports stepped-up recycling efforts under any circumstances, Molinari said he doesn't believe recycling will ever reduce the city's solid-waste stream enough to eliminate the need for incinerators. He said that he'd support an incinerator in Staten Island as long as his borough doesn't build the first one. 'The fact of the matter is, the ultimate problem has to be faced," he said.

"No matter what alternative means for treating waste you come up with, you're still going to have to trash the city produces each day. "Staten Island has suffered for half a century with the world's largest garbage dump," Molinari said. "I would ask (Brooklyn) and the rest of the city to understand our problems. If there was some better way of doing it, I would be for it" At a Jan. 24 congressional hearing at Borough Hall, Brooklyn Borough President Howard Golden vowed to fight any effort by the city to build the Navy Yard incinerator or reopen the Southwest Brooklyn incinerator in Bensonhurst But Golden also testified that he opposes dumping all of the city's household trash 14,000 tons per day in Fresh Kills.

"That landfill is an environmental nightmare," Golden said. If city residents recycle more, and more city trash is exported, then Brooklyn won't need to open the two incinerators and the city can decrease its reliance on Fresh Kills. Molinari said that's not realistic. "I appreciate Howard's concern," he said. "At least he's expressing concern with Staten Island's problems, and we don't hear that often.

But you can't have it both ways." Molinari said shipping refuse to landfills out of the city is impractical. Sooner or later, he said, other states and municipalities will sharply cur Daily News Staff Writer Guy Molinari says he understands why residents of Williamsburg, Greenpoint and Fort Greene might not want to live next door to the 44-story, trash incinerator proposed for the Brooklyn Navy Yard. But the Staten Island borough president said last week that many of his, constituents already live closer than they would prefer to the 200-foot mountain of rancid, rising refuse known as the Fresh Kills Landfill.

The west wing houses the museum's permanent collections of contemporary art and ancient Egyptian art. It opened to the public last month after being redesigned by Arata Isozaki AssociatesJames Stewart Polshek and Partners. The $31 million renovation was financed with $14.5 million from the city and $16.5 million from private sources, including the gift from the Schapiro fund. Museum spokeswoman Sally Williams said several limestone plaques affixed with metal lettering bearing the benefactors' names will be installed in and around the west wing by spring. "This represents the larg-st single gift the museum has received in its history, which dates back to the early 19th century," Williams said.

"As children, the Schapiro brothers spent incredible amounts of their time at the Brooklyn Museum. Now, things appear to have come full circle." Daily News Brooklyn Bureau Chief The newly renovated west wing of the Brooklyn Museum has been named the Morris A and Meyer Schapiro Wing in honor of two brothers who gave the institution $5 million, museum officials announced. The museum's board of trustees said a foundation established by Morris Schapiro, an investment banker, gave the money. Morris Schapiro, 90, heads the Wall Street firm he founded in 1939. His brother, Meyer, 89, is a professor emeritus of art history at Coumbia University.

The brothers were born in Lithuania, grew up in Brooklyn and were educated at Columbia. Meyer Schapiro recalled visiting the Brooklyn Museum at the age of 14. "That was my start" in art history, he said in a statement. "I am profoundly moved by my brother's generosity on behalf of us both." Museum director Robert Buck said the facility was "enormously grateful" to the Schapiro brothers. He added that the gift "continues Morris A Schapiro's 2 By VIRGINIA BREEN Daily News Staff Writer Brooklyn and Queens Catholic schools will get a new schools chief tomorrow.
