Politicians And Nonprofits Weigh In On Formula
Nassau leaders respond to national, local fears and mixed demand around baby formula shortages
JANET BURNS
L
jburns@antonmediagroup.com
ong Island lawmakers and community groups are weighing in on nationwide reports of baby formula shortages and potential “price gouging” for the popular powdered foodstuff. Last month, numerous elected officials in Nassau County and throughout New York State started responding publicly to reports of U.S. shortages on baby formula that have drawn international attention. In mid May, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said it reached an agreement to address health and safety violations at Abbott Nutrition, the nation’s largest manufacturer of infant formula and one wing of multinational corporation Abbott Laboratories. News first broke in February that certain Similac, Alimentum and EleCare products had been recalled following serious bacterial infections in four infants who consumed products from Abbott’s manufacturing facility in Sturgis, Michigan. According to the FDA, changes at Abbott’s facilities require two weeks before production can resume, meaning fresh supplies of Abbott products won’t be on shelves for several more weeks (though competitors’ products may be). While some local leaders have commented cautiously on the situation, the many recent news reports about unstocked shelves, frantic parents, and long-ignored safety woes at Abbott are clearly drawing a stronger response from many politicians. “Reports of infant formula supply shortages are concerning, and we urge New York families to follow the department’s recommendations as we continue to monitor the situation in New York,” State Health Commissioner Dr. Mary T. Bassett said in a statement. “The department remains committed to ensuring families have the nutritional support and resources needed to best care for our youngest New Yorkers.” County Legislator Joshua A. Lafazan (D-Woodbury) announced a proposal last month for a Nassau-specific hotline to report price gouging on baby formula, as well as for more investigations by the Department of Consumer Affairs (his office did not provide details on these proposed steps
Cans of Abbott Nutrition brand Similac baby formula sit on a shelf behind a note indicating 24-hour video surveillance. User Roebot, Wordpress Openverse, CC BY-SA 2.0 by press time). Lafazan also called on the FDA to allow for the importation of formula approved by “competent regulators such as the EU, Canada, and Australia,” his office said in a statement. “It is a terrible thing to take advantage of people in a crisis who are desperate with few options,” Lafazan said. “It is utterly reprehensible and morally repugnant to do so when those affected are mothers and their infants.” Congressman Tom Suozzi (D-New York) also weighed in: “Raising a newborn is already a difficult and stressful job for any parent, but not being able to find the appropriate formula in this country is unacceptable. We need to immediately invoke the Defense Production Act to address this crisis and provide relief to struggling families,” he said in a statement sent to press. Several days earlier, Congressman Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) and Town of Hempstead Supervisor Don Clavin also urged the federal government to invoke the Defense Production Act, the Long Island Press reported (on Wednesday, President Biden announced he would do so). Oyster Bay Town Councilman Steve Labriola recently co-hosted baby formula drives at Marjorie Post Park. “The nationwide baby formula shortage is causing a crisis for many families throughout Long Island,” Labriola said in a statement. “We all know that once little ones move on to food, families are often left with extra formula in their pantries. We ask
that you open your hearts and cupboards by donating unexpired, unused formula for families facing shortages and empty store shelves.” U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) also announced her intention to introduce a bicameral Emergency Infant Formula Act, legislation “to increase domestic production and expand sourcing of formula in order to alleviate the current crisis and prevent future shortages,” her office explained in a press release. “Compounded by supply chain disruptions as a result of the pandemic, this recall has created a life or death situation for many of the millions of families that depend on formula to feed their infants, and without immediate action to speed up the production and distribution of formula, babies who rely on formula may go hungry or starve,” Senator Gillibrand’s office wrote. But while legislators have made their feelings pretty clear on the matter, Nassau County nonprofit groups seem to be seeing a mix of reactions, and needs, in the communities they serve locally, at least for now. Long Island Press reported last week that some organizations around Long Island have been struggling to meet demand for baby formula, and are ramping up drives for formula in the coming days and weeks. Meanwhile, Donna Teichner, LCSW, assistant vice president of Prevention and Family Support Programs for the Family & Children’s Association in Nassau
County, commented by phone that she was “shocked” to report that, as of late May, none of the churches or community groups she works with have called in to request formula. If they do, Teichner said, she has a small stockpile available from before the shortage. Teichner also said she’s confident that organizations and individual families would feel comfortable reaching out to her group if they did need emergency supplies of formula. “We’re a safety net in the community, and if and when it becomes an issue [for families who receive our support], they know who to call,” she said. Amanda Nora Brooks, social work consultant for Agape Ministries Pantry, said that her organization’s once-a-week food bank hasn’t typically distributed formula, but that they’re now fielding requests for the product. Donations of baby formula from the public are very welcome, she said, adding, “And if any governmental or community organizations want to use our site to gather donations of formula or distribute it, we’re more than happy to accommodate that.” Greta Guarton, LMSW, executive director at Long Island Coalition for the Homeless (LICH), also said she’s been surprised by the relatively low demand she’s seen for formula — relative to news reports, anyway. “We haven’t seen a significant increase in requests [for baby formula],” she explained. “We have seen an increase, but not as much as we feared.” “What we’re seeing is more requests for supplies from our food pantry in general,” Guarton continued. But donations of other foods and essential supplies have simultaneously dwindled. “We’re 100 percent donor supported, and previously [in recent years] when we’ve reached out to the community, we’d get in a truckload of food. Now… we hear crickets.” Guarton said her group hasn’t had to start rationing distribution of baby formula to the unhoused families she works with just yet, but LICH has had to start limiting general food distribution to a week’s worth of groceries per pickup; they used to give out three weeks of groceries at a time. While her group is happy to receive donations of baby formula, what they need most right now is non-perishable, proteinand nutrient-heavy foods like canned tuna, canned chicken, canned vegetables, and beans, Guarton said. They’re also hoping for more deodorant, shampoo, toilet paper, and feminine products. And “always” more diapers.

From Farmingdale To Fulbright Local resident headed to Vietnam
EMMA DUFFY nassauobserver@antonmediagroup.com
T
he Fulbright Organization aims to extend their opportunities for learning and to bring together a worldwide community in an attempt to create respect among different cultures. The organization is renowned for their scholarships that enable students to travel the globe to pursue their educational pursuits. Every scholarship available through Fulbright is immensely competitive and is awarded to those that excel in their respective field. To date, there are 160 participating countries and other areas with 400 specialists traveling abroad per year. One of the specialists added to the roster is Farmingdale native and current Adelphi student and adjunct professor Jennifer Eileen Reddin Cassar. She has a background in both law and social work, having studied at New York University for her undergraduate education and Boston College for law school, where she specialized in Family Court. It is her goal to bring these two areas closer together. “Sometimes there’s a disconnect between those two professions,” Reddin said. “So I

think that as a member of both I kind of am always trying to connect those.” The Fulbright Specialist Scholarship is one of the scholarships available from the U.S. Department of State. The program is aimed towards professionals in their midto late-career and allows them to attend worldwide host institutes for two to six weeks where they will be able to take part in project-based exchanges. There are a lot of logistics that go into the Fulbright application process; this includes
two directed essays and three references. However, it does not end there. Once the lucky few make it onto the roster, they must match with an institution. Myriad institutions include themselves in the Fulbright Program to be helped by these specialists. It is up to the specialists to find a match within the four years that they are on the roster. “So it’s driven by institutions,” Reddin said. Thus far, Reddin has only applied to match with one institution—Vietnam Women’s Academy. This organization is currently developing a Master of Social Work curriculum. Vietnam Women’s Academy is a place for higher public education, started in 2012 and located in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. Considering the amount of experience and education that Reddin has already accumulated throughout her career, one may wonder why she still intends on adding more to her résumé. To Reddin, there is always room to improve on one’s education. “The more education, the more power and the loudest voice in the room,” Reddin said. “If the loudest voice isn’t the most informed voice, then you’re not getting the best results. And so I think maybe my motivation was to kind of bring the most information possible to the loudest voices.”
To Reddin, this means more than gaining a plethora of American degrees. We must never presume ourselves to be “the top of the food chain,” Reddin puts it—there is always more to be learned from other people. She thinks that by studying in different countries and cultures, she will be able to bring more to the discussion back in America. “I can get the benefit of kind of seeing how a whole different culture and a whole different way of thinking. How they are attacking problems that we are having here in New York and in the United States and things like that,” Reddin said. “And maybe a total view shift gives a different idea of how to manage a problem that we have here.” This opportunity is not seen as an extended vacation. It is a way for Reddin to immerse herself in another culture and use its perspective to strengthen the American system. The Fulbright opportunity is allowing Reddin to use a different point of view to grow upon her knowledge, while helping others abroad. “I’m hoping that while I can offer my services there, I will get kind of informed about how to look at things from an entirely different vantage point,” Reddin said.

PSEG’s Safety Sleuth Program Educates Long Island Students TYLER MROCZEK editorial@antonmediagroup.com
An educational program sponsored by PSEG welcomed work from more than 1,700 elementary school students across Long Island that advocated for electrical safety in their classrooms and homes. At least 21 schools, including Hicksville’s Woodland Elementary School, participated in the program, which took place over the course of many months earlier this year and late last year. Once the coursework was completed, participating teachers were asked to submit their three favorite “Safety Sleuth” projects, which were considered for inclusion in PSEG Long Island’s online gallery. “All of my students were very proud of their work,” smiled Woodland Elementary School teacher Gayle Pinsky. “They all took the project very seriously and definitely learned a lot about the responsibilities

needed to be safe in their houses and at school.” PSEG Long Island first hosted a similar competition just months before the coronavirus pandemic sent all New York students home for online learning in 2020. Back then, the original program focused primarily on energy efficiency and saving the environment from harmful behaviors in celebration of Earth Day’s 50th anniversary. The original program had more than two dozen participating schools, but
the pandemic’s online learning system dropped the number to only five schools. Its main purpose is to educate students in fourth through eighth grade about electrical safety and allow them to create their own PSA-themed safety posters for submission into a contest. Last year, PSEG decided to create a program for younger students to learn about safety. Thus, the Safety Sleuth program was launched. However, this program is not competitive, but is primarily used for educational lessons and spreading awareness. The Safety Sleuth program invites students from kindergarten through third grade to submit educational posters for consideration into their gallery of only 25 selected pieces, which must all meet specific criteria and include multiple components. Students and teachers alike that participated in the program loved the message and found it to be a great way to teach safety protocols.
“The fun part was adding extra details to make it 3-D and sketching it,” said Woodland second grader Theo Tsouratakis. “My tip was, ‘keep electrical devices from water.’” Of more than 90 submitted posters, 25 will be featured on PSEG’s website and social media soon. “It is important to teach children electrical safety from a young age,” PSEG Long Island Director of Customer Experience Suzanna Brienza said. Submissions for this year’s Safety Sleuth program closed just last month with the online gallery being made available for viewing online soon. “The hardest part of my poster was drawing it,” Woodland second grader Sabreena Noori said. “The fun part was coloring and writing it and writing my title with stickers. My poster was special because it was not about winning, it was about having fun.” Tyler Mroczek is an Anton Media Group contributor.

Proud Boys Parade In Nassau County Again Local anti-racism activists fight back with education
JANET BURNS
M
jburns@antonmediagroup.com
embers of an all-male extremist group stepped out again in Rockville Centre on Saturday, May 21, drawing criticism from neighbors and from many local leaders. A group of as many as 20 men dressed as Proud Boys, i.e. wearing and bearing a combination of the hate group’s signature outfits and slogans, paraded through Rockville Centre in Nassau County, possibly in response to results of school board elections in late May. The “Western Chauvinist” group was accompanied by a large yellow pickup truck bearing a sign that reads “Law And Order,” a sight that witnesses of prior marches have often recalled. Proud Boy events have previously been spotted in and around Nassau in the past six months or so, including last November during a Small Business Saturday event in Rockville Centre. In the weeks that followed that event, Mayor Francis Murray said his office would leverage its full weight against members of the group if they marched on his community’s streets again without a permit. Last week, however, Mayor Murray was reportedly more deferential, indicating that his office will instead be following guidance from Homeland Security, the FBI and state and local law enforcement regarding Proud Boys at this time. Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder told Anton Media Group, “We have an intelligence unit [keeping tabs] on these hate groups that are right here, one being The Proud Boys. We knew about their protest [march] and we notified Rockville Centre.” Ryder said he wasn’t at the march, but believed there was no incidents. “There are a lot of groups out there that are pushing their agendas and their message and that’s fine,” Ryder said, noting the Constitutionally-protected rights to

(Courtesy the Antiracism Project) assembly and free speech. “They remain peaceful, we’re good.” When asked for comment on local Proud Boys’ marches in Nassau County, Councilman Anthony D’Esposito, who is running for Congress in New York’s fourth congressional district, said in a statement: “I will always fight for a shared vision of an inclusive, safe and prosperous Long Island, and reject any group that attempts to sow the seeds of division, hate or bigotry in our society.” When asked for follow-up comment on the seeming prevalence of Proud Boys participation among members of law enforcement, a representative for D’Esposito referred Anton Media Group to the above statement. Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman did not respond to requests for comment. In reference to a rally against Asian hate that also occurred in Nassau County on May 21, Senator Anna M. Kaplan commented, “While we were rallying against hate yesterday in Great Neck, the racist, neo-fascist ‘Proud boys’ were
marching through the streets of Nassau County once again in an effort to intimidate our community and spread their vile, hateful agenda.” On Sunday, May 22, Nassau County Legislator Siela A. Bynoe (D–Westbury) also issued the following statement: “Yesterday, the residents of Rockville Centre were once again subjected to the noxious presence of the so-called Proud Boys and their white nationalist, neofascist rhetoric. Now more than ever, it is crucial for people of good conscience to stand together to reject their racist, misogynistic, antisemitic and anti-LGBTQ bigotry and send a clear message that hate has no place in Rockville Centre, Nassau County or anywhere else in our nation.” Rena Riback and Judy Rattner, co-administrators of the Antiracism Project, told the Anton Media Group that the same kinds of behaviors displayed at local Proud Boys marches have in fact been driving the work that they do around Nassau County. In a phone interview, Riback said that they began forming their group in 2017 in response to racist and anti-Semitic incidents in Rockville Centre and “trying to decide what to do about it.” Today, the Antiracism Project connects and collaborates with individuals and groups around the world, and continues to host workshops and courses that help participants actually digest topics like white privilege, internalized racism, and immigration (rather than choking on or spewing them) while also offering strategies for intervening in hateful or violent behaviors as safely as possible. In reference to the strong reaction that so-called Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, and similar extremists have solicited from community and religious groups, anti-racists, feminists and immigration advocates, Rattner commented that when she’s seen young men of Nassau at previous Proud Boy marches wearing hats that say 6MWE, which stands for “Six million [Jews killed in the Holocaust] wasn’t enough,” she too experienced “fierce feelings” in response.

Bethpage High School’s Regal Eagles Robotics Team took part in the 2022 FIRST World Championships in Houston, TX. (Photo courtesy of the Bethpage Union Free School District)
BETHPAGE HIGH SCHOOL’S REGAL EAGLES COMPETE AT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS Bethpage High School’s Regal Eagles Robotics Team recently took part in the 2022 FIRST World Championships in Houston, TX. Their recent trip marked the sixth year in a row that the Regal Eagles earned a spot in the World Championships. “Besides just seeing some of the world’s best robots, we also got to see so many people sharing their STEM experiences,” Regal Eagles member Suchitha Channapatna said. “The products that they display is just inspiring overall. Getting to experience that again is like a rush of excitement.” Hosted by FIRST headquarters, FIRST Championship is a culminating, international event for the youth robotics competition season and an annual celebration of science, technology, engineering and math for the community as they prepare young people for the future. “This competition opens us up to new perspectives and ideas, which is a very enriching experience,” Regal Eagles member Naomi Rufian said. “Even with two years of COVID-19 postponing the event, I still feel
like we’ve really grown as a team and I’m really proud of what we’ve accomplished so far.” The Regal Eagles were also the recipient of the coveted Engineering Inspiration Award, which is given to a team that “...celebrates outstanding success in advancing respect and appreciation for engineering within a team’s school or organization and community.” As a result, NASA covered the registration costs for the Regal Eagles’ participation at FIRST World Championships. “While I’m extremely proud of what this team has accomplished and how passionate they are about STEM and robotics, I’m really excited that they had the opportunity to compete at the championships,” District Director of Technology Andrew Choi said. Choi also commended team advisers Leon LaSpina and Dennis Costa on another successful build season and competition season. Samar Singh, another member of the Regal Eagles, said it was an honor to be part of this team knowing the history of this program.
“It’s great to know that while the same people aren’t here, we’re still able to build quality robots and host amazing events,” Singh said. Other team members of the Regal Eagles echoed Singh’s comments on the team’s overall success. “No matter who graduates or who joins the team, the culture of the team is always emphasized,” Regal Eagles member Ruchitha Channapatna said. “I feel like that’s been the key to our success over the past six years.” The Regal Eagles described robotics as a three-season sport. In the offseason, they pick up where they left off with the last robot they were working with from September to November. This coincides with the team’s structured training activities which starts in the fall from late October to January. Build season begins in January where they start brainstorming ideas and they have six to eight weeks to complete their project for the regional competition. Rufian, who oversees outreach, contacts roughly 200 companies to get sponsors
before build season. “In terms of outreach, it’s really nice to support other teams and their initiatives as well,” Rufian said. The team also puts together monthly newsletters, they regularly update their website and take part in district-wide activities such as STEM Night to spread awareness of the program. Additionally, the Regal Eagles plan to launch a STEM-related summer camp this year for middle school students. Students will learn skills unique to FIRST Robotics Competition to emphasize the importance and interest of STEM at elementary schools. “It’s helpful that we have them learning at an earlier age,” Singh said. “Maybe they build an interest in middle school so that by the time they get to the high school, we’ll have more talented people on our team. I hope this program also helps to show that this team is more than just robots, and that we celebrate all aspects of STEM.” —Submitted by the Bethpage Union Free School District
EXPERT SHARES THE SCIENCE OF ADDICTION IN SEAFORD Dr. Stephen Dewey (center) recently visited Seaford High School to talk to students about the impacts of addiction on the brain. He not only discussed the harmful effects of alcohol, drugs, tobacco and vaping, but also discussed other addictions that impact teens like excessive use of cell phones and video games. His visuals showed the chemical changes to the brain caused by substance abuse and also discussed ways to get help. During a pair of assemblies, Dewey presented to all students in grades 9-12, then held a question and answer session for student leaders, giving them information that they can use to help their peers avoid abuse and addiction.

Another Day, Another Map
Democratic incumbents forced into the same district JOSEPH SCOTCHIE jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com
H
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. 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

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
I
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.

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.

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!

How Harmony Early Learning Center Is Helping Shape Young Minds DAVE GIL de RUBIO dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com
T
he Greek philosopher Plato once said, “Do not train children to learn by force and harshness, but direct them to it by what amuses their minds.” It is this mantra that is at the heart of Harmony Early Learning Center, a Wantagh-based school serving children aged six-weeks through pre-kindergarten that opened in its new location in April 2021. It’s a philosophy owner/ director Allison Ulin has fully embraced, ever since she founded the original business on Center Lane in Levittown back in 2013. “I had some different experiences with different age groups,” she recalled. “I just woke up one day and decided to open up my own daycare. I realized early on that I really enjoy early childhood. From birth to age eight or nine [is a time frame] I love because they are still able to be formed. We’re teaching them social and emotional skills. We’re talking about regulating their
feelings, problem-solving on their own and thinking through how to solve different issues with their friends, which is a big part of our program. We focus on social and emotional just as we do academic.” The cultivation of soft skills is a crucial component for these young and developing minds, particularly in the face of isolation created by a global pandemic and the nature of omni-present social media and technology. It’s a developmental factor society often overlooks at its own risk if the recent shootings by young men in their late teens in both Buffalo and Uvalde, TX is any indication. The Creative Curriculum Ulin and Harmony Early Learning Center espouses is based on an educational fluidity that runs contrary to the programs many other daycares employ. “We want our students to feel like this is an extension of their home,” Ulin explained. “We do a play-based approach, whereas other daycares might do more of sitting down and doing work sheets based on a routine structure. We are very much learning through play and hands-on activities. We actually do a curriculum with them that is really exploring through play and

learning things that interest the students and have the teachers really do open-ended projects.” The 26-member strong staff caters to 123 children representing upwards of 100 families from around the community, nearly three times the 45 students the school was serving back in Levittown. With demand so high and capacity at a max, Harmony Early Learning Center caught the attention of Senator Kevin Thomas, who presented Ulin and her staff with a New York State Empire Business Award. It’s all very humbling
for Ulin, a mother of three small children she’s raising with her husband John, who is the campus pastor at Massapequa’s Centerpoint Church. “My staff and I really enjoy serving the parents in our community—there’s a real need there,” she said. “We like being able to fill that need for them and look forward to many years of serving the community at this location.” Visit www.harmonyearlylearning.com to learn more about the Harmony Early Learning Center.

Softball Chiefs Advance To County Championship
JAMES ROWAN editorial@antonmediagroup.com
T
he Massapequa girls softball team is poised to defend the Nassau County title they captured last year. The top-seeded Chiefs defeated Plainview-Old Bethpage JFK with a two-game sweep in the County Class AA semifinals to face second-seeded East Meadow in a three-game series at Mitchell Field. Massapequa defeated Plainview-Old Bethpage JFK in back-to-back games, 7-2 and 8-3. In the first game Ryan Starr and Mary Stork each had three hits. On the mound, Kim Westenberg allowed one run, six hits, and struck out 11 for Massapequa. Stork and Emily Balducci each had two RBI. In the second game, Balducci helped the Chiefs break the game open with a two-run double in the fifth inning. Westenberg allowed two runs and eight hits, walked one and struck out six.

Massapequa (14-7) won the program’s first County title last season. The team has been led primarily by seniors Westenburg (pitcher-first base), Starr (shortstop) and Stork (third base). Westenburg has notched 13 wins, which places her second in Nassau. She’s also struck out 13 batters on two occasions over the course of the year. At the plate, Westenburg has slugged four home runs. Ryan Starr, a master of the stolen base, was a scoring threat each time she reached base. In a pair of non-league win this season against perennial power Division,
Starr went 3-for-3, with two walks, a home run and six stolen bases. She drove in a season-high six runs against Carey. Starr will play at Syracuse next season while teammate Westenburg will play for Cortland next year. As a junior, she struck out 143 batters over 100 innings. Mary Stork had three-hit games against Plainedge, Oceanside and Plainview-Old Bethpage JFK. At the Class AAA Nassau County track and field championships at Westbury High School, the MacArthur Generals crowned six county champions. MacArthur’s Matthew Cassidy
