TOP STORY

Pride Pride Month In Glen Cove events around the city JENNIFER CORR jcorr@antonmediagroup.com

ride Month begins on June 1 and ends June 30, and along with New York City’s famous and annual Pride March on June 26 and Long Beach’s Pride Parade and Festival that will take place this year from July 8 to the 10, Glen Cove has Pride events in store. According to the Library of Congress; Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer Pride Month is celebrated each year in the month of June to honor the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan, which was the tipping point for the Gay Liberation Movement in the United States. In 1969, simply being LGBTQ+ was considered a criminal offense throughout the State of New York, leading many gay bars, including the popular Stonewall Inn, to operate without a liquor license, which would subsequently lead to raids and police brutality. The Stonewall Inn, which was owned by the Mafia, would experience raids on average once a month, leading up to the uprising on June 28, 1969 that received mass media coverage. The Stonewall Uprising was a series of events between LGBTQ+ protesters and the police that stretched over six days. On June 2, the City of Glen Cove will kick off Pride Month by raising the Pride Flag at 5:30 p.m. in Downtown Glen Cove, 100 Village Square at Bridge Street. “The keynote speaker is going to be Juli Grey-Owens,” City of Glen Cove Councilwoman Marsha Silverman said. “She is a transgender advocate who has been doing LGBTQ advocacy for years and years, so I’m really excited to have her as our keynote speaker and share her experiences and insights and inspiration to the community.” The Pride Flag was first raised in Downtown Glen Cove during Pride Month in 2019. And while the flag was up for a few days, a truck turning the corner knocked down the flag pole. Without that flag pole, the following years there was debate around where to put it come June. In 2021, the Pride Flag made its way to the Glen Cove Ferry Terminal down at Garvies Point, where the keynote speaker was Sarah Kate Ellis-Henderson, the CEO of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation

(GLAAD). But finally, Glen Cove’s Pride Flag will be flying proudly over the downtown area. And the raising of the flag is among many of the events that will return life to a new normal as the pandemic winds down. “It’s so important to create an atmosphere of acceptance, inclusion and understanding,” Silverman said. “I find that Glen Cove is unique on Long Island in the fact that we are extremely diverse... not just

in LGBTQ and straight, but also in religions, races and every socio-economic bracket that you can think of. We really have incredible diversity here.” And it’s events like the raising of the Pride Flag, along with celebrations of Women’s History Month, Black History Month and St. Patrick’s Day, among other celebrations, that honors and recognizes the diversity of Glen Cove. But the raising of the Pride Flag is not the

only Pride Month celebration happening in Glen Cove. Not too far from where the Pride Flag will be is First Presbyterian Church of Glen Cove. It has raised the Progress Pride Flag, which was designed by graphic designer Daniel Quaser, to feature a five-color chevron to the classic Pride Rainbow Flag. The flag includes black and brown stripes to represent marginalized LGBTQ+ communities of color, along with the colors of pink, light blue and white, which are used on the Transgender Pride Flag. The church will be hosting multiple Pride-related events including a screening of the Purple documentary, which centers political conversation in the swing region of rural Wisconsin and Iowa that uplifts, provokes and inspires, on June 3 at 7 p.m. and a Pride social hour on June 10 at 7 p.m. On Sunday, June 12 at 10 a.m., First Presbyterian Church of Glen Cove is inviting guest preacher Rev. Marian Edmonds-Allen, the executive director of Parity, a New York City-based national nonprofit that works at the intersection of faith and LGBT concerns. And on Sunday, June 19 at 10 a.m., there will be a Drag Church featuring New York City Drag Theologian Marge Erin Johnson. “Drag is such a fun and important queer art form and to be able to bring that into the church world and see those two intersect, I think will be incredible,” First Presbyterian Church of Glen Cove Pastor Lana Hurst said. First Presbyterian Church of Glen Cove has been celebrating Pride since 2008. “I am the first openly trans pastor of the church and we have multiple members who identify as gay, lesbian and bisexual, and our whole staff at the church is actually part of the queer community, so I think for us this really represents a key element of who we are and it’s a way for us to say ‘our gender identities, our sexual orientation, they’re not something that are separate from our spirituality,” Rev. Hurst said. “They’re actually integral to our spiritually. This is a way for us to celebrate that.” Pride Month, Rev. Hurst said, is an important time of reflection on “queer elders” like Marsha P. Johnson, an American gay liberation activist who was one of the prominent figures in the Stonewall Uprising, as well as how much has changed around the perception of LGBTQ+ issues. “Whoever wants to come to these events, this is open,” said Rev. Hurst, adding that the church is a place of belonging. “We want the church to be a community resource. We want the church to be a place where people can come and ask questions.”

Petit Flower Show Explores Recycling DAGMAR FORS KARPPI editorial@antonmediagroup.com

embers of the Locust Valley Garden Club expressed their creativity in a Petit Flower Show at their May meeting at Mill Neck Manor. The theme was recycling. People’s Choice winner Kassie Miller Roth used a vase she was about to return to a friend. Into the water, she submerged flowers, with stems pushed into a garden frog, concealed by beach glass. At the top, she attached a plastic base to hold oasis, into which she placed blossoms from her garden and a friend’s, creating the winning piece. Members applauded wildly when she was announced the winner. Lucille DeVito and Teri Swenson tied for second place. DeVito used an armful of flowers from her garden, local beach and roadside blooms to create her sensation. Swenson’s mason jar, wrapped in a paper bag and tied with a ribbon, supported a riot of rose, yellow and pink roses and daisies from a Mother’s Day bouquet. Baby’s breath was recycled from a Valentine bouquet. President Dean Yoder took third place

He acknowledged that his piece was created by recycling blooms left over from centerpieces he designed for three events, the last the Raynham Hall Museum May Gala. He used a square glass container with recycled orange ranunculus,

proteus pin flowers and tropical ginger, surrounded by spotted Japanese Aucuba. Horticultural Chair Sallie McNeill Rynd repurposed a Manzanilla olive jar, wrapped it with a bow and added flowers to match the label.

In her report, McNeill-Rynd warned that poison ivy is coming back strong again. Their burgundy leaves can be attractive to a novice gardener and she suggested we all look around to spot them and get rid of them quickly. She offered a simple method: put your arm deep into an empty plastic bread bag and use it as a sleeve and with the closed end, grab the weed, pull it up into the bag, tie it tight and toss it in the garbage. Ecology Chair Josie Bliss spoke about light pollution and encouraged the use of LED lights. To demonstrate how strong light pollution is, she said, 25 years ago Los Angeles experienced a massive power blackout due to an earthquake. The entire city was thrust into darkness. Calls to 911 were inundated with panicked residents reporting “a giant silvery cloud”, was engulfing the sky. They were seeing the Milky Way, the galaxy containing our solar system, for the first time. “Some of these urbanites had never before experienced a non-light polluted sky,” she said. “Go camping in Maine and Montana and see the stars.” For information on joining the club contact President Dean Yoder at dyinteriors@ yahoo.com. The June meeting is for the installation of officers.

Finalists Announced For Downtown Sounds Teen Idol Village Square in downtown Glen Cove was abuzz on Wednesday evening as 10 talented teenagers competed to be the first Downtown Sounds Teen Idol. From original songs to covers, the teens performed live for the second round of the contest in front of three music industry judges. Friends, family and supporters gathered in the square to listen as the teens showcased their skills. “This year, the Glen Cove Downtown BID is celebrating the 25th anniversary of Downtown Sounds,” Downtown BID Executive Director Patricia Holman said, “And we thought, what better way to celebrate this milestone than to include the youth of our community in our celebration.” Open to ages 13 to 18, contestants first submitted an audition video, and those selected were asked to prepare for the live performance. A total of six finalists were chosen and will perform during the preshow of the Downtown Sounds concert series this July. Each week, with the community’s help, the judges will determine who will go to the next round, until a winner emerges after the fifth concert. The winner will receive $750 and a two-hour session at Tiki Recording Studios. The six finalists selected are: Lexi Briones, 13, of Glen Cove; Jaida Ciampi, 15, of Glen Cove; Mae Curiale, 14, of Sea Cliff; Delilah McAuliffe, 13, of Sea Cliff; Michael Renga, 14, of Glen Cove; and Shye Roberts, 15, of Glen Cove.

The contest judges are professional musician Eddie Profet, who plays bass guitar and is currently a member of five bands, including The Doobie Others; Glen Cove Downtown Business Improvement District Vice President Lou-Ann Thomp-

son, who began playing guitar when she was 14 and has sung and played guitar in several bands over the years; and Fred Guarino, owner of Tiki Recording Studios in Glen Cove and Downtown Sounds Committee chair.

“The Teen Idol contest proved to be a huge success as some of the finest young artists performed their hearts out for us,” Thompson said. “I was filled with awe as I watched them each take the microphone and belt out an arrangement of their choice. I was not only ‘wow-ed’ by their incredible vocals, but they each had a different musical style and approach to their creativity. I am humbled by the singer-songwriters most especially as writing lyrics is my first love. It was nice to hear their vocals clearly and not mumble or overtaken by the music. What a terrific display of creativity and confidence. I am looking forward to following their progress during the concert series.” According to Profet, choosing the finalists was not an easy decision. “It was hard to choose and we pored over it for a long time, even referring to the video footage. There really is a lot of talent here; they all had great song choices and were so confident, with strong stage presence. I’m looking forward to seeing them all again and to see them show off their versatility.” “I was amazed at the level of talent and artistry right here in our local area,” Guarino said. “It really exceeded my expectations. Even though this was a competition event, the night was quite entertaining. We as judges had a very difficult time choosing the top performers. All of the kids were that good. They are all winners. Bravo.” —Submitted by Glen Cove Downtown Business Industrial District

Another Day, Another Map

Democratic incumbents forced into the same district JOSEPH SCOTCHIE jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

as New York’s redistricting madness come to an end? As stated in earlier issues of Anton Community Newspapers, the redistricting map for the decade of the 2020s has been in turmoil for months. Last month, the New York State Court of Appeals threw out maps drawn up and approved by the New York State Legislature, of which both houses are overwhelmingly Democratic. Congressional maps are the domain of an independent commission, made up in equal numbers by Democrats and Republicans. That commission failed to agree on a map and so the legislature took charge. But the state’s highest court ruled those maps and maps for the state Senate as unconstitutional and skewered heavily in

favor of the majority party. After the 2020 census, the state lost another congressional seat. The legislature-approved map would have given the Democrats a 22-2 seat edge with two seats up for grabs. It is estimated that the new map will result in a 14-5 advantage for the Democrats with up to seven seats in play. A judge from Steuben County appointed Jonathan Cervas, a post-doctorate fellow at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, to

draw up the maps. Cervas has had experience in drawing maps for states as different as Virginia, Utah and Georgia. The big news was not just the elimination of the Democrats’ huge advantage, but the fact that several Democratic incumbents will square off against each other in the upcoming primaries. For instance, the newly-redrawn 12th district may feature a race between incumbents Jerry Nadler and Carolyn Maloney. Incumbent

Mondaire Jones has announced he will run in the newly drawn 10th District (representing parts of Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan) to avoid a primary against Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney in the district he currently represents. Hakeem Jeffries and Yvette D. Clark are two more incumbents who will battle each other for a Brooklyn congressional seat. That means at least two incumbent Democrats will be out of office once the primary takes place.

Not all Republicans were pleased with the new map. John Faso, a former Republican congressman, said the new map is an improvement but that his team of lawyers will seek revisions to “...better reflect long-standing communities of interest around the state.” Another lawsuits proposes to condense all the election dates and toss out not just the congressional and state Senate map, but also the state’s Assembly maps.

arm weather is here, and you are ready to get outside and make your yard beautiful and functional. Now is the time to get “backyard ready” for spring. What tools do you need?

Plan your needs

This well-maintained four bedroom cape-style home located mid-block at 273 Division Ave. in Massapequa sold on May 19 for $575,000. It is located within the Massapequa School District and is close to shopping. It has two bathrooms and an attached two-car garage. The home has central air conditioning. The eat-inkitchen is updated and has sliding doors leading to the backyard patio. The first floor has two large bedrooms and an updated full bath.

Draw a sketch of your yard. Include any major features like trees, bushes, garden, flower beds, furniture, play equipment, patio or bird bath. Note where maintenance may be required. Will bushes need to be trimmed back from your home or garage? Do you want to put in some bushes or a tree? Are you planning to install a fence and more grass because for your pet?

Consider equipment needed

Visit your garage or shed and find those forgotten lawn and garden tools. Wheel out your mower and get out other equipment. Look it over and make a list of what is needed or could be upgraded. Repair anything that needs attention or identify where a newer or other machine is required. If you have a large garden, you need a cultivator or tiller. If you have a large lawn, an upgrade to a riding lawn mower might make mowing easier. A string trimmer might make caring for bushes or trimming grass near a fence line easier.

Research before you buy

The right equipment can mean more time for other activities and make doing yard work more enjoyable, too. Outdoor power equipment can be gas, electric or battery powered and technology is rapidly impacting product design. There are even robotic lawn mowers.

The large finished basement has a professionally hardwired humidifier. The driveway is double wide. The home has a Generac generator. Flood insurance not required; this home is located within the “X flood zone.” Membership to Harbor Green Shores Club is available.

Ask questions

Talk with the staff at the store or ask online about the equipment. Ask to pick up and hold equipment to determine its “fit” for you. Discuss safety features and ask about fueling and care instructions. Make a plan for storage and maintenance. Store your equipment in a cool and dry place. It also should typically be serviced at the end of the fall and the beginning of the spring. Put service dates on your calendar with a reminder. Visit www.opei.org for more information.

Is It Karma Or Is It Bad Luck? I’m not sure why these things seem to always happen to me. Maybe I was a historical time-waster in a previous life, having no regard for my fellow man behind me in a line. There must be a reasonable explanation as to why, in this life, I invariably get stuck behind someone that has no concern for the people behind them. It doesn’t matter if it’s a supermarket check-out line, an ATM or a fast-food drive-through. The person directly in front of me is usually experiencing some sort of problem. Sometimes it’s a problem with something that won’t scan. Other times, the card isn’t working. If I’m at a walk-up ATM, the guy in front of me acts as if they’ve never used one before. When I use the drive-through ATM, the guy in front of me doesn’t pull up close enough to reach the machine and they have to get out of the car. Even when reaching through the window, they put the card in backward or don’t seem to remember their PIN. People have told me the older you get, the less patience you have for nonsense. I don’t think my age has anything to do with it. I’ve never had the patience for nonsense.

LONG ISLAND LIVING Paul DiSclafani pdisco23@aol.com

I’m always prepared when I need to use an ATM and have a keen awareness of the number of people behind me in line, especially at a drive-through. As soon as I get in line, my card is already out of my wallet. When it’s my turn, I pull up close to the terminal, pop in my card, enter my PIN, get my cash and pull away so the next guy can go. Should I get a Gold Star? I don’t see why not. I’m in and out of there in less than two minutes. You’d be lucky to be behind me at an ATM. I just wonder why the guy in front of me can’t sometimes be the guy behind me. What did I do to deserve this fate?

Could it be that I was the guy at the Old Western saloon monopolizing the only bartender and taking way too long to decide between beer or whiskey in a previous life? Maybe Karma is catching up with me. While waiting my turn at the McDonald’s drivethrough in Massapequa the other day, I decided on a crispy chicken sandwich and a Coke. Knowing people were behind me, I had my card at the ready, wanting to keep the line moving. I’m just that type of guy. But Karma struck. The woman in the car ahead of me was sticking her arm out the window and gesturing at the menu. This went on for quite some time as she seemed to be ordering a lot of food. It took her over five minutes to place her order. My order was completed in less than a minute and I was right behind my drive-through nemesis as she received her order through the window. It was a single cold drink. She handed the cashier a dollar but needed to come up

with some additional change. After rummaging around inside the car for another minute, she completed her transaction. Instead of pulling away from the window, she fiddled with her pocketbook, popped the straw into her drink, and took a couple of sips. After straightening her posture in the seat, she pulled away from the window. Is Karma catching up with me? Maybe. For some reason, I seem to remember being at the ticket window in ancient Rome at the Coliseum. I kept asking the guy to find seats for me closer to the arena floor. The spectators behind me in line were starting to grumble and become impatient. As the crowd inside began to roar when the lions were released, the last thing I remember was turning back to the ticket window and asking if he had any seats on the aisle… Paul DiSclafani’s new book, A View From The Bench, is a collection of his favorite Long Island Living columns.

Gwendolyn Elizabeth Brooks: I Just Want To Write Social media can be both blessing and curse at once. While it has been referred to as a “time drain,” it is also a brilliant way to stay in touch with those friends and loved ones who are not always in sight, but very often in mind. It’s also a wonderful place to be inspired by things one sees. As I perused Facebook this morning, my eyes lit upon a meme that my cousin Jennifer posted about resilience. The post stated simply, “Your heart will heal, your tears will dry, your season will change. Rest tonight knowing that the storm will end.” It was beautiful in its simplicity and spoke volumes about the importance of getting back up after life knocks you down. The meme reminded me of something that I had heard on the “Reels” feature of both Instagram and Facebook. While the quotation has been linked to TikTok videos about transformation through makeup, weight loss and exercise, it is part of the hook for Kanye West’s song, “Praise God”: “Even if you are not ready for the day, it cannot always be night.” Since I enjoy investigating everything, I decided to do a little digging. As it turns out, Kanye pilfered the quotation from Gwendolyn Brooks’ inspirational poem, “Speech to the Young: Speech to the Progress-Toward (Among Them Nora and Henry III)”. The poem, which appeared

SEE YOU AROUND THE TOWN Patty Servidio

in Gwendolyn’s 1991 book, Blacks, was focused on youth and advised them never to give up and to keep moving forward, even in the face of Life’s storms. This column is dedicated to Gwendolyn Elizabeth Brooks and to the millions of women out there. Gwendolyn was born in Topeka, Kansas in 1917. She was the eldest child of her family, born of a father who sacrificed his dream of becoming a physician for marrying the woman he loved and raising a family. Gwendolyn’s mother was a schoolteacher who was also a classical music concert pianist. The family moved to the south side of Chicago which was a place Gwendolyn identified with her entire life. Gwendolyn was encouraged to write by her mom, who often told her that she would become the world’s female version of Paul Dunbar, an American poet and

novelist who gained international acclaim in the late 19th century. She declined college to obtain a four-year degree as she referred to herself as a writer who loved to write and always would do so. When she was 13 years old, Gwendolyn published her first poem in a children’s magazine. In three years’ time, she wrote and published more than 70 more poems. She continued to write and submit work to various publications, including Poetry Magazine. In 1945, she published her first book of poetry, A Street in Bronzeville, which received critical acclaim for its authenticity. Gwendolyn received the Guggenheim Fellow in Poetry in 1946. Her second book of poetry, titled Annie Allen, was published in 1949. The following year, Gwendolyn was the first Black author to win the Pulitzer Prize in poetry for her book Annie Allen. Many of her works were published by Harper’s Magazine. Gwendolyn also taught extensively around the United States and held posts at various colleges, including the University of Chicago, Columbia College Chicago, Northeastern Illinois University, Chicago State, CUNY, Elmhurst College and Columbia University. She was appointed Poet Laureate of Illinois in 1968, which she maintained until her death in 2000. In 1976, she was the first Black woman to be inducted into the prestigious honor

society, American Academy of Arts and Letters. From 1985–86, she was the U.S. Poet Laureate. She was also poetry consultant for the Library of Congress. Gwendolyn Brooks is a perfect example of someone who got back up when life knocked her down. Her love for writing offered her a lifetime of golden achievements, accolades and warm words from her peers, as well as becoming one of the most widely read poets of 20th century poetry. Though she never received a degree for writing, her work perfectly illustrated the life of those in her community with texture and a freshness that gave every character a realness that was tangible. May we all aspire to reach for the stars as Gwendolyn did, and if we get knocked down, may we always get back up and keep moving forward. Patty Servidio is an Anton Media Group columnist.G

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE what we internally referred to as the “Halloween” grant cycle. Watch when the announcement of selected winning projects will conveniently coincide with many governors, senators and Congressional members, who are friends with President Biden and U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg running for public office on the eve of Nov. 8h Election Day. One requirement under this program is that the recipient, in this case, the MTA, has sufficient adequate secure funding to construct, maintain, operate and cover any unforeseen cost increases. Did someone forget about the ongoing financial problems facing the MTA now and in future years?

Governor Kathy Hochul (CC BY-SA 4.0)

If Hochul was serious about this project, why didn’t she include any funding within the new $220 billion state budget? If MTA Chairman Janno Lieber was serious, he could have either (1) reprogrammed some of the

billion plus carried over from the $32 billion 2015-19 Five-Year Capital Plan not spent, (2) reprogram funding from the current $51 billion 2020-24 Five-Year Capital Plan, (3) submit a zero dollar grant amendment to the Federal Transit Administration to reprogram funding from funds still not spent under open active grants worth $12 billion or (4) added this project to the MTA’s FTA 2022 federal fiscal year program of projects worth $1.5 billion. Any member of the New York Congressional delegation could have earmarked funding under the FTA’s recent appropriation and authorization bills signed into law by President Biden. Any member of the State Senate or State Assembly could have earmarked funding

for this project out of either State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins or State Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie’s pots of discretionary funding contained within the $220 billion Albany budget. Each “Pot of Gold” is worth several hundred million. Neither Mayor Eric Adams nor the New York City Council have proposed including funding for this project within the proposed new $99 billion municipal budget. Neither Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynosa nor Queens Borough President Donovan Richards has proposed using a portion of their respective discretionary pots of funding. Since Hochul, Lieber, Adams and others have no skin in the game to date, you have

to wonder how serious they really are in advancing this project. What happens if the U.S. DOT decides not to select this project? Don’t be surprised if the next governor and MTA Chairman places this project in the back burner. Larry Penner is a transportation advocate, historian and writer, who previously worked for the Federal Transit Administration Region 2 New York Office. This included the development, review, approval and oversight for billions in capital projects and programs for the MTA, NYC Transit, Long Island Rail Road, Metro North Rail Road, MTA Bus along with 30 other transit agencies in NY & NJ.

Caught Between Two Worlds Playwright’s new memoir captures Chinese-American experience

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

sabel Allende once said that a memoir is an invitation into another person’s privacy. It’s certainly the case with Our Laundry, Our Town: My Chinese American Life from Flushing to the Downtown Stage and Beyond, playwright Alvin Eng’s account of growing up as a second-generation Asian-American in 1970s New York City. The youngest of five children, Eng was the result of an arranged marriage between his late parents, who he affectionately refers to as King Wah Eng and The Empress Mother. The Engs supported themselves running three Foo J. Chin Chinese Hand Laundries—one in Hoboken, one on East 86th Street in Manhattan and the third in Flushing, Queens. A major driver in the story is the relationship between the parental duo, who were living two separate, but parallel lives, with the intersection coming at the hand laundry. And while Flushing represents the second-largest Chinese community behind Brooklyn Chinatown and ahead of Manhattan’s Chinatown as of the 2010 census, that demographic representation was not always the norm. Sports (the New York Knicks) and the arts (punk rock in particular) offered solace to Eng and his quest for an identity that

But then I eventually realized that my grandfather died of an opium overdose and that opium changed the Chinese forever.”) It’s this kind of strong stuff that informs readers as they follow Eng’s journey into theater, where he meets wife Wendy and earns a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. Eng also wound up being a two-time Fulbright Specialist appointee with a residence at City University of Hong Kong. It was here where the Americanborn Eng was invited by the U.S. Consulate Guangzhou, to conduct theater workshops and perform his memoir monologue, The Last Emperor of Flushing, in his family’s ancestral Guangdong Province. It’s all heady stuff Eng was finally able to tie together after a decade-plus of trying. “Writing this book was very therapeutic,” Eng said. “I think it’s really about being able to put it down on paper and become more whole, which is what I was able to do once I achieved balancing act of juggling so many worlds and so many cultures.”

Fruit of the vine

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There is no prize for pleasing the masses that even comes close to the rich treasure of connecting with one person who matters to you. So cater your efforts to those around you. It is better to focus on serving one person very well than to concern yourself with being the world’s greatest at a role.

Solution: 16 Letters

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your assets are numerous this week, but none so powerful as your purity of heart and intent. With this kind of love as your motivation, you cannot fail no matter what happens. The most important decisions have to do with where you show up. Go where there are people you can help, or people who inspire you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s a strange dance, the dance of intimacy. In the beginning, you’re not sure how much you want to know and be known. This is the stage to savor. It’s the most playful and formative time when you can apply your creativity to making something truly special. Soon enough, familiarity will establish its groove. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It is easier for some people to show indifference than to risk opening up. Vulnerability is hard because rejection is harder. You have already experienced rejection in your life, which gives you an advantage. It will be less scary for you to open up and let someone know that you want to love and be loved. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Showing up to tasks that are not extraordinarily interesting to you has a way of draining your energy. What would you rather be doing? Change the plan. Tackle something you can really get immersed in. Bonus: When you are too busy to care about who you are attracting, that is very attractive indeed. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll change your mind a few times this week, so you’re better off not making big claims or signing anything. But even when you’re not sure what you want, you know where you belong. Go where you can help and be helped. There’s no reason to settle for less than inspiring atmospheres and kind people. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There are indifferent people everywhere, and you do not want to be one of them. Efforts to convey how you really feel, which is to say warm, responsive and alive, can sometimes land messily. Still, honest and awkward interactions are much more valuable than any that could be made by a courteous robot. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Supporters may fall down on the job, which presents you with an opportunity to give due credit to the one who has been there for you this entire time: you. You showed up, you did your best and you are still reporting for duty. When you really think about it, a little more appreciation is in order.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Being a multifaceted person, you shine best when several of your sides get the light. The turns of the year will show your many angles. In various moments you’ll be determined, wise, playful, vulnerable, self-motivated and self-sacrificing, all in pursuit of the same goal. There’s a role you’ve desired, and you will finally get to take it on, though there are unexpected aspects, too. Let go of the way you want it to be, and the way it is becomes more beautiful than you’d imagined it would be. COPYRIGHT 2022 CREATORS.COM

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). While pleasing symmetries and intriguing proportions certainly have their appeal, beauty is about a balance of thousands of details, some too intangible to measure. Being too conscious of one’s own projected image can diminish the effect. Your beauty will be deeply appreciated this week.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s natural to seek ease. People will avoid solutions that require a large amount of effort. You’ll employ clever use of this principle in your dealings with people. Sometimes you want their attention; sometimes you don’t. You’ll make things hard to deter them or things easy to attract them.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re the cowboy of your mind, moving your herd of thoughts along the prairie of your consciousness. Steering thoughts well is the key to feeling good. You don’t need to know why you think a certain way; you just need a few strategies to help you stay on track, including good support and uplifting environments.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your most successful endeavors will be the ones aimed to the right people. Hint: The right people aren’t necessarily the nearest ones. They’re the ones who like you for who you are. They make you feel seen, understood and enjoyed. Finding them can take a minute, but there’s no better use of your time.

Sylvia strikes again South dealer. North-South vulnerable. NORTH ♠732 ♥K 8 5 ♦K742 ♣K 8 2 WEST EAST ♠AKQ4 ♠865 ♥6 4 3 2 ♥ Q J 10 ♦5 ♦ J 10 9 8 ♣6 5 4 3 ♣ Q J 10 SOUTH ♠ J 10 9 ♥A 9 7 ♦AQ63 ♣A 9 7 The bidding: South West North East 1 NT Pass 3 NT Opening lead — king of spades. There were some members of the club who insisted that Sylvia was protected by a guardian angel. She would make the most dreadful plays imaginable, and somehow or other, these plays would work to her advantage. Consider this deal where Sylvia (West) led her A-K-Q of spades and then, planning to cash the four next, inadvertently led the four of clubs instead. As a result, Sylvia was never able to cash her last spade. However, declarer eventually went

down anyway, and Sylvia’s sense of mortification was greatly allayed by this favorable turn of events. Only in subsequent analysis was it discovered that South would have made three notrump had Sylvia cashed her fourth spade, since this would have squeezed her partner in the three remaining suits! Thus, if East discarded a heart, declarer would win any return and cash three heart tricks. East would then be squeezed again. He would either have to unguard his diamonds or his clubs, and South would make three notrump by scoring an extra trick in that suit. The same result would accrue if East elected to discard a club on Sylvia’s fourth spade. Declarer would then cash three club tricks, squeezing East in hearts and diamonds. And finally, if East discarded a diamond on the four of spades, he would later be squeezed in hearts and clubs when declarer cashed four diamond tricks. So, whichever way East turned, he could not escape being victimized by a fourth round of spades from Sylvia. To this day, some members of the club still contend that it was not Sylvia who led the four of clubs at trick four, but her guardian angel!

Local Schools, Officials React To Texas School Shooting ANTON MEDIA GROUP STAFF editors@antonmediagroup.com

n Tuesday, May 24, people around the world heard the heart-breaking news that 19 elementary school students and two teachers were murdered at the hand of an 18-year-old gunman at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, TX. The tragedy took place not even two weeks after the Buffalo, NY, shooting. Dr. Maria Rianna, the superintendent of the Glen Cove City School District, issued the following statement on May 25: “We are devastated and heartbroken by the horror that took place yesterday afternoon in Uvalde, TX. Schools are nurturing, welcoming and loving spaces, and it is incomprehensible that anything like this could ever happen. It is so devastating to share news of this nature and beyond any understanding that it seems to have become something we are seeing more than once. We should never have to become

familiar with such an occurrence, year after year, throughout the country.” “Our thoughts, prayers and condolences are with Robb Elementary, the Uvalde community and the families of the innocent lives that were senselessly and so violently taken. As with all acts of violence against innocent children and people, we are experiencing a watershed of emotions: disbelief, sadness, worry, anger and more. The District will make grief counselors available at each school should any student need support during this difficult and unfathomable time. Our team of social workers also has guidance and resources to help parents speak with students about tragedies at age-appropriate levels.” “The Glen Cove District’s foremost priority is the safety, security and wellbeing of our students, staff, faculty and community. Our administration continuously reviews and updates district-wide security and safety procedures. We regularly practice and test these protocols, and we remain vigilant to keep our buildings safe and secure.” “Should you have any questions regarding the district’s safety and security protocols or if anyone is in need of personal support,

I encourage you to please contact my office or your student’s building principal.” “Today is a sad day. We are fortunate to have such a close and supportive community and as a result, we will ensure our children receive the attention they need and deserve. Be well. Stay safe.” Congressman Tom Suozzi, who represents much of Nassau County’s North Shore, said when he woke up to the news of the day, he was heartbroken, but filled with a resolve to battle “hypocrisy, cynicism and the phonies.” “The massacre in Texas is another in a long list of preventable tragedies unique to America. The second year anniversary of George Floyd and we still face a long journey toward racial justice without demonizing the good police officers that are committed to protect and to serve. The mounting racist hate crimes that continue to grip communities with fear and confusion, must be met with both public safety and education.” “I am tired of the outrage that pits one against another with little result. It’s exhausting. I am disgusted by the hypocrites and phonies that loudly protest, but accom-

plish nothing.” “Yet, I remain committed to the work of a lifetime to try and right the wrongs, to doggedly pursue solutions and common ground, and to believe that most of us all want the same things.” “I pray that we rededicate ourselves to the common good and that we all be guided by a simple proposition ‘Love thy neighbor.’” State Assemblyman Charles Lavine, who represents Glen Cove, Oyster Bay and surrounding areas, said “Robb Elementary is a school for 2nd-4th graders. There was a time when God stopped Abraham from sacrificing Isaac. When will we stop sacrificing our own children?” State Sen. Jim Gaughran offered this statement: “My thoughts and prayers: may the memories of [19 children and their two teachers] haunt every single lawmaker that fought to put those guns into the hands of that murderer. They did nothing after Newtown, after Parkland, and every school shooting. They own this. Enough is enough.”

SCHOOL NEWS

CONNOLLY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LAUNCHES ITS THERAPY DOG PROGRAM Connolly Elementary School is giving students a break from the “ruff” school day with its first therapy dog program. Students are given time to pet, unwind and even practice their reading skills with a therapy dog to relieve stress. Connolly began a pilot program through which selected students meet with a Chocolate Labrador named Maddie and her handler twice a month. The school plans to bring in more dogs and extend the program to any student interested in participating. “Coming back from the pandemic, a lot of kids began showing anxiety and nervousness, so this was one of the ways we wanted to help them relax. Dog therapy has been around for decades and has been proven to have therapeutic benefits such as reducing stress and improving mood” said Principal Bryce Klatsky. Teachers Patty Lucci and Morgan Steiger spearheaded the program, which was sponsored by local business AMP Construction and brings in dogs from Bideawee in Wantagh and Long Island Therapy Dogs. The first few sessions were geared toward students in the school’s reading program and gave them a chance to read to dogs without fear of judgment. “It really helps children who are shy or afraid to read in front of their peers.,” Lucci said. “They could pet the dog and calm their nerves when they read. It also gives them a bit of extra love, which is sometimes

Florence Nightingale, considered the founder of modern nursing, recognized its potential in the late 1800s when she

paired children and adults in psychiatric institutions with small pets. In her renowned 1859 book, Notes on Nursing, she recorded how having an animal companion helped her patients recover. Dr. Sigmund Freud revived a public interest in animal therapy, specifically with

dogs, in the 1930s when he brought his own pet Jo-Fi to therapy sessions and noted the calming effect it had on his patients. In 1961, Dr. Boris Levinson became known as the “father of animal-assisted therapy” when he accidentally left his dog Jingles alone with a young patient who was withdrawn and nonverbal. On returning, Dr. Levinson found the boy communicating with Jingles. He began using Jingles in his child psychotherapy sessions and wrote a book in 1969 called Pet-Oriented Child Psychotherapy. Dogs are most often used in animal-assisted therapy because of their nonjudgmental nature and desire to protect others. Bideawee, which also has locations in Westhampton and Manhattan, launched its Pet Therapy Program in 1986 and trains handlers and animals to visit schools, nursing homes and hospitals. Therapy Dogs of Long Island is a nonprofit run by volunteers who train their own dogs and bring them to children and adults in homes, hospitals, nursing homes, camps, schools, libraries and organizations.

LOCUST VALLEY TEACHER RECEIVES EXCELLENCE IN SOCIAL STUDIES AWARD Kelly Price, a fifth-grade teacher at Bayville Intermediate School, received the Margaret Simon Award for Excellence in Elementary Social Studies Education from the Long Island Council for the Social Studies. To receive this award, a teacher must not only advocate social studies on the elementary level but integrate its study into

multiple facets of the elementary program. Nominated by Coordinator of Social Studies and Business Bryan Sarandrea, Price is described as going above and beyond to cultivate civic knowledge and responsibility in her classroom. “The emergence of Mrs. Price as a champion for elementary social studies

has allowed her to provide leadership on important district social studies initiatives,” Sarandrea said. “She is an inspiration to her students and colleagues and is the perfect candidate for recognition as an outstanding elementary school social studies teacher.” Price developed a classroom social studies program called “We Have Character,” which not only ties in with other classroom subjects but provides students the opportunity to collaborate with younger students. Price’s classroom regularly collaborates with second-grade teacher Dani Schatz. Each month, the fifth-graders are taught and focus on a new character trait, becoming teachers and mentors to the younger students through specially designed activities centered around the introduced trait. Some of the activities included thank-you letters and a panel interview with local veterans. They collectively created “Jars of Joy,” jars filled with messages to boost first responders’ spirits. They also displayed empathy and provided emotional support by gifting cards and sunglasses to the Matthew Fetzer Foundation, a children’s cancer foundation. “My goal with social studies is to teach students to become better human beings and to learn the value of citizenship,” Price said. As a winner of the Margaret Simon Award for Excellence in Elementary Social Studies Education, Price will be honored at an award ceremony on June 9. She will also
