‘Acting’ No More

TOP STORY

Highway department’s without superintendent for now

FRANK RIZZO frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

irst it seemed like a done deal. The North Hempstead Democratic majority had the votes to hire former Highway Superintendent Thomas Tiernan as the permanent head of the department, replacing Acting Superintendent Harry Weed. Tiernan’s choice was resisted by Supervisor Jen DeSena and her two Republican colleagues, with the supervisor having held a press conference to decry the last minute resolution introduced by Councilwoman Veronica Lurvey for the May 19 meeting. The former division chief, she charged, had been forced to resign under a cloud in 2016 and had accrued excessive overtime. Further, her proposal to make Weed permanent head had been tabled in January, another in the long list of initiatives stymied by the majority. Then, after more than an hour of public comment at the meeting majorly favorable to Tiernan—interspersed with the usual acrimonious intraboard exchanges—Lurvey surprisingly tabled her own resolution. After which, with some confusion over how to deal with Tiernan’s item in the comprehensive personnel resolution, the board went into a brief executive session. When members reconvened, there was a surprise: by a 4-3 party-line vote, the ruling council had decided to fire Weed and post the job.

Words of Support

Resolution 32, to hire Tiernan, was introduced at about 8:28 p.m. and elicited much comment. The first speaker was Robert Hamilton, vice president of Trius, a truck body company in Bohemia. Tiernan was reportedly unhappy with the delays in the company’s modifications of two dump truck bodies the town had purchased for the department. Press accounts reported that Tiernan was accused of bullying vendors, and Hamilton was on the receiving end of such behavior. Hamilton admitted that the two had exchanged words and “Tom and I had a very tough conversation. He’s a passionate individual and cares a lot about what he was doing at the time. We patched that up many years ago. But I just want to make sure it has no bearing on the decisions made in regards to his pending employment.” He added that Tiernan “was held in high

(pointing to the board).” Calling Tiernan “the best highway superintendent,” he recalled him taking charge during Superstorm Sandy, when town leaders didn’t quite know what to do. Bates defended the overtime because Tiernan was a union member at the time and often worked around the clock during weather emergencies. The board has since made the position non-union, “He shouldn’t be asked to work for free when he showed up for work at 6 a.m. and then was asked to be at the town board meetings that ended at midnight that same day,” Bates stated, adding, “There’s a lot of people with a lot of money in this town that make the phone calls to you guys and they want things done and they want to be first in line. You make a decision, then you put it in Tommy’s hands and then he gets the blame. It’s quite a problem.” He concluded, “Tommy would have to be a fool to come back and take this job. The only reason he would come back would be to prove to the board that he could do the job. The Town of North Hempstead needs a highway superintendent that knows what he’s doing and that’s Tom.” Bill Cutrone, president of the Lakeville Estates Civic association, praised Tiernan for taking care of problems on the sidewalks and center median on Hillside Avenue, even though it was a state road. “I believe Tom can do the job. I believe he did a great job,” Cutrone stated. A woman representing a group of workers in the highway department who attended the meeting said they supported Tiernan, saying, “He is phenomenal. He’s a great boss. He cares about us.”

The Metrics

Lurvey said, “Before I put this [resolution] on the agenda, I spoke to many people who think [Tiernan] did a phenomenal job.” One area she was focused on was the town’s trees, and the councilwoman said the number of trees planted on Weed’s watch compared unfavorably to Tiernan’s tenure. Troiano took up this comparison, stating, “We have metrics and data that we track.” In 2016, the last year under Tiernan, 1,450 trees were trimmed or removed. In 2021, under Weed, that number dropped to 860, and this year was on track to be under 800. Going further, Troiano said that in the last year of Tiernan’s term 942 potholes were filled. Last year, that number went down to 445 and in 2022 it was also going to come in under Tiernan’s numbers. “We have a problem in the highway department that can’t wait to be addressed,” Troiano asserted. “The residents of this town deserve better and we have somebody on the docket who can deliver better.”

Nepotism?

Resolution 32 would have had the board hire Tiernan for a term lasting from May 19, 2022 to Dec. 31, 2023. Kate Hirsch of Manhasset was disturbed that the position was not posted and no interviews were conducted and only one person was being considered. She noted the majority’s tabling of Weed’s nomination, and further accused Councilman Robert Troiano of trying to undermine Weed. Hirsch concluded that the problems in the department went back decades, not five or six years as others had claimed. She quoted the Town Code regarding nepotism, having read press reports of several close relatives of Tiernan’s on the town payroll. If Tiernan did not fill out the required nepotism form, she warned, she would file a complaint. Troiano pushed back, stating that Tiernan had filed out a nepotism form and asserted, “He’s not the only person who has family working in the town. There’s nothing wrong with that. Why should a member of this community be stopped from getting a job in the town just because there is another family member that also works in the town? We may be depriving ourselves of an opportunity to hire some very fine people.” He waved a paper with a list of 15 families with multiple members working of the town. He said that since he’s been back on the board in January, trustees have approved such hires many times, so he wondered why Tiernan was getting singled out. DeSena responded, “It matters if you’re supervising your family member. We don’t automatically approve every member. We have to consider whether there’s a supervisory responsibility.” At her press conference on May 9, the supervisor had noted that at one point Tiernan had direct supervision over his wife, son and brother, “all earning outrageous overtime amounts,” she charged. Troiano said that Tiernan did file a nepotism form and further, “if he came back he will not be supervising someone in his family.” Hank Ratner of Port Washington asked why Tiernan had resigned. DeSena replied that “it was part of a separation agreement to avoid some disciplinary proceedings.” When Ratner asked for more details, the supervisor said it was over excessive overtime and abuse and bullying of vendors. The town attorney and an external attorney did an investigation an produced a report recommending disciplinary action. She asked if anyone on the board had read the report, which she claimed “refuted the pretty picture Mr. Troiano had painted of Tiernan.” Troiano objected, claiming the report concluded that there was no credible evidence of wrongdoing. “That’s incorrect, the report speaks for itself,” DeSena said, noting that it described behavior that should not be accepted in a highway superintendent. Ratner said he would make an FOIA request and asked what role if any did Tiernan

have in the hiring of his relatives. He went on to repeat some of what he had read in news accounts, apologizing for bringing up names and alleged misdeeds. When he asked again about hiring practices and nepotism Troiano told him, “No single employee can hire any other employee, family member or not. Every single employee is hired by the town board.”

Hiring Debate

At her May 9 press conference, DeSena said she felt blindsided by the resolution to hire Tiernan, with no one on the majority having spoken of a desire to hire a permanent superintendent and her own choice, Weed, Councilwoman Veronica Lurvey introduced the resolution to hire former Highway had been left in limbo.

Plandome Heights Celebrates Retiring Trustees

illage of Plandome Heights officials recently hosted a brunch at the Port Washington Yacht Club to celebrate the retirement of three long term trustees, including Silva (“Aida”) Ferman (18 years), Alvin Solomon (16 years) and Dianne Sheehan (six years). Attendees of the celebration included Mayor Kenneth Riscica, Trustees Norman Taylor, Daniel Cataldo and Gus Panopoulos, as well as newly-elected Trustees Mary Hauck, Kristina Lobosco, and Florence Musalo, Building Inspector Edward Butt, Clerk-Treasurer Arlene Drucker, Court Clerk Katherine A. Hannon, Interim Deputy Clerk Kathryn Gross and Village Attorney Christopher Prior. During the celebration, Ferman was

presented with a plaque on behalf of the North Shore Cable Commission to honor her many years of involvement with the company. Rebecca Scaramucci, the president of the Plandome Heights Women’s Club, was also in attendance to celebrate the retirement of Ferman. Scaramucci presented Ferman with a plaque on behalf of Women’s Club members to express their gratitude for Ferman’s long-term companionship and service. Ferman possesses extraordinary judgment and wisdom, and after completing nine terms of service over the course of 18 years, her presence and energy will be missed by those who had the chance to work alongside her. Solomon was then presented with a plaque provided by the Port WashingtonManhasset Office of Emergency Management

to acknowledge his membership and service with them throughout the years. During his eight terms of service, he led the effort to implement Plandome Heights’ emergency notification system, North Shore Alert, and was a critical part of the damage assessment and recovery efforts after Superstorm Sandy did enormous damage to the village. Finally, Sheehan was given a plaque from the Manhasset Bay Protection Committee as a token of appreciation for her years of service and hard work as the liaison for the village. During her time as a trustee, Sheehan was also involved in maintaining the village preserve and assisting the village with grants through her three terms of service. Along with each plaque presented, Mayor Kenneth C. Riscica provided a personal

note of appreciation and a proclamation to officially recognize and honor the three retiring trustees. Riscica said, “Over their long years of service, these extraordinary volunteers helped the village turn deficits into surpluses, create low and stable taxes, create and execute a 10-year capital plan, clean up all deferred maintenance, repave all the roads in the village and built a substantial reserve fund for our future. This village is better and looks better than it ever has because of their service. We thank them for their service and will miss them.” The new trustees were sworn in the next day by North Hempstead Supervisor Jennifer DeSena. —Submitted by the Village of Plandome Heights

In their early years in Manhasset she had volunteered at the EOC and met Chenault at a community meeting. She remembered the executive director from her time volunteering and asked if the EOC would be interested in a donation. “Oh my God, yes,” Chenault had replied.

It was an unexpected “Christmas in May” at the EOC. (Photo by Frank Rizzo)

“Why this place?” LaPadula was asked. “Because this is our community,” she replied. “We had an excess of toys that we had collected but had done the distribution already.” When her husband said to her “What should we do with them?” she knew the answer. Phillips said she had been recruited by Kilbride to help out several years ago, and recalled a toy donation at NYU Langone in

Mineola she attended last July. “The idea was, at Christmas, everyone is so generous. What about the rest of the year?” Phillips observed. “This was more special,” added Barbara LaPadula. “They weren’t expecting it.” Based solely on the delighted faces of the children, she was right.

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.

Shopping For Yard Equipment

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. Upstairs offers two additional bedrooms and a full bath. Recent upgrades to the home include a new furnace, flash hot water heater, a stainless steel refrigerator, new washer and dryer and hardwood floors throughout the home.

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. This sprawling brick-front ranch at 122 Harbour View Dr. on a stunning block in the Harbor Green neighborhood of Massapequa sold on May 19 for $890,000. Its location is dreamy. This home has a beautifully updated kitchen with white Shaker-style cabinets and quartz countertops and a water filtration faucet. The large primary bedroom has a primary bathroom that was renovation in 2019 and dual closets. The den has a wood-burning fireplace and sliders to a beautifully paved patio. The home has a UV light air purifier system, great for people who have allergies. The cedar-look vinyl siding is new. There is a large, organic garden on the 100’ x 100’ property and in-ground sprinklers. The home was converted to gas in 2013 and in 2019 the electric was upgraded to 200 amps. 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.

LONG ISLAND WEEKLY

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.”

Alvin Eng will be appearing on Wednesday, June 8 to do a book signing and meet and greet at Yu & Me Books, 44 Mulberry St. in Manhattan’s Chinatown, Visit www.yuandmebooks.com or call 646-559-1165 for more information.

WORD FIND This is a theme puzzle with the subject stated below. Find the listed words in the grid. (They may run in any direction but always in a straight line. Some letters are used more than once.) Ring each word as you find it and when you have completed the puzzle, there will be 16 letters left over. They spell out the alternative theme of the puzzle.

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.

Solution: Beautiful bouquet

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.

HOROSCOPES By Holiday Mathis HOROSCOPES

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.

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!

Removing The Stigma Of Mental Health

MANHASSET PRESS STAFF

manhassetpresss@antonmediagroup.com

ental health has been in the news more than usual of late. COVID has exacerbated stress among all age groups, and especially teens. In December, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy warned of an urgent mental health crisis among America’s youth. New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli issued an audit in April that found many school districts are not equipped to deal with the mental health of its students. It is with this background that Port Washington-based Project HELP (Health, Education and Life Programs) Long Island hosted its Mental Health Awareness March: Project Health on May 14 in Manhasset. The march started at Publicans and wound up at Mary Jane Davies Green. Project HELP President Jeff Stone told the Manhasset Press. “The success of the Mental Health Awareness March in Manhasset was evident by the large number of residents, elected representatives and mental health coalitions that attended the event. Project HELP introduced mental health professionals that spoke about the real need to address the mental health and wellness of our children and individuals within our communities. The effects of being silent in the face of The Manhasset High School Contemporary Ensemble provided live entertainment. Also individuals struggling with their illness was pictured are North Hempstead Supervisor Jen DeSena and ensemble director Hector Minaya.

May is Mental health Awareness Month—let’s extend the awareness throughout the year. Our future for a mentally and emotionally healthy community depends on it.” Speakers included: • Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Jen DeSena, former executive director of Manhasset Community Coalition Against Substance Abuse, Inc.
