TOP STORY

Pandemic Inspired A Turn To Entrepreneurism JOSEPH SCOTCHIE jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

“W

e had another amazing month.” So proclaimed Roslyn Chamber of Commerce President Rich Branficorte as that body held its May meeting at the Greenvale Townhouse Restaurant. You might say its been an amazing year— with more good fortune ahead. It’s getting hard to keep up with all the new businesses opening in the Roslyn area. Recently, the chamber hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony for the grand opening of Royal 24 Boutique, located on 28 Lincoln Ave. in Roslyn. Owner Krystal Fernandez was on hand to welcome everyone to her new store. The event featured the usual number of chamber members and local elected officials: Branciforte, Barbara Kaplan, Wayne Wink, Alicia Brown, Garnet Ardila, Dianne Szwed and Sabina Mortillaro, all from the chamber, plus Long Island Hispanic Chamber of Commerce President Luis Vazquez. Elected officials were on hand to present the customary certificates to the new business venture. They included: Jennifer DeSena (North Hempstead Town supervisor), Peter Zuckerman (Town of North Hempstead councilman), representatives from Sen. Anna Kaplan’s and County Executive Bruce Blakeman’s offices. The big draw was Scott Barnes, make-up artist to Jennifer Lopez, Celine Dion, and Kim Kardashian. Barnes, who oversees Royal 24’s exclusive cosmetic line, took photos with admiring fans. There was also a cake to celebrate the man’s recent birthday.

Family, friends, supporters, and clients joined in the fun grand opening, including Joseph, Teresa, and Tina Maria Oppedisano from ILL Bacco restaurant; Marlene Wallach and Jefferey J. Hoffman of GLEEM; Frank Galasso; Henry P. Salvado; and Cynthia Besteman of Violets are Blue Skincare. The Roslyn Chamber of Commerce is booming. The Roslyn area is booming. None of this is surprising. There isn’t a slice of suburbia on Long Island more scenic and more attractive than the village and its surroundings. In an interview with The Roslyn News, Branficorte offered his own reasons for

the boom. “During the pandemic, a lot of people were laid off,” he noted, “and many of them ended up leaving their jobs to become entrepreneurs.” That includes young people who “know exactly about what they are doing.” Everyone knows that downtown Roslyn, surrounded by the Clock Tower and the Roslyn Duck Pond, is enticing. However, Branficorte said the boom is reaching all areas of greater Roslyn, including locales on Willis Avenue and Lincoln Avenue. The chamber, he added, is doing all it can to recruit new members. That creates

a healthy log-rolling effect. In September 2021, State Farm of Roslyn became a member. Garnet Ardila, owner of that establishment, sponsored the successful May meeting at the Greenvale Townhouse Restaurant. Recent events included a booth at the HIA convention and sold-out tickets to attend a Mets-St. Louis Cardinals game. “We are planning our summer concert for July 27,” Branficorte added. “With the support from the village, we expect this to be another amazing concert in the park. If you are an Eric Clapton fan or enjoy classic rock, then you will enjoy listening to the Classic Clapton Band.”

Local Retired Physician Launches First Novel

Medical Historical Fiction Thriller Set in a New York City Hospital

THE ROSLYN NEWS STAFF roslyn@antonmediagroup.com

ongtime Flower Hill resident Mitch Maiman has published a new novel, Every Third Night, an eye-opening yet poignant novel set in a busy, dehumanizing and unyielding New York City residency program in Obstetrics and Gynecology in 1984. It brings the reader into the real world of medicine at a time of limited supervision and brutal duty hours through the vantage points of young physicians enduring stressful conflicts and volatile relationships. The protagonist seemingly has it all—strikingly handsome, brilliant clinical skills, and a talented teacher—but a troubled past and a rash of new demands leave him struggling to survive in his last month of training. He desperately tries to guide his fellow residents through their own personal traumas, but is not as prepared to handle the pressure as others might think, especially considering the unchecked aberrant behavior of attending physicians, the highly emotional demands of Ob-Gyn, and the turmoil surrounding an ultra-needy girlfriend and stubborn father. As he and his colleagues grapple with the overwhelming friction of their circumstances, the intertwined subplots

collide and come crashing down when a haunting mishap leaves the program reeling and the protagonist’s life forever transformed. Every Third Night was published in February and has received excellent reviews, including comments such as “a page turner, I couldn’t put it down” and “a wonderful book from start to finish.” This novel, Maiman’s first, is independently published by Mindstir Media. Visit mitchmaiman.com to purchase the book and for more information. The paperback and hardcover versions can be obtained for $13.99 and $21.99 respectively, or as an e-book for $2.99. The novel is now available at the Port Washington Public Library. Maiman has been a Flower Hill resident for the past 27 years, and his adult children both graduated from Schreiber High School in Port Washington. He became a physician at age 24 and before retiring three years ago, was Chairman of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Northwell Health-Staten Island University Hospital for the previous 20 years, and a prominent gynecologic oncologist in the New York City area, recognized for his numerous educational contributions in the field and his devotion to the teaching of residents and fellows. His lifelong experience in medicine has given him keen insight to portray the realistic issues plaguing young physicians in the highly flawed medical arena.

Tuesday’s Children 20th Anniversary Benefit A Success T

Eric Carlstrom, Evan Petracca and the late Frank Bice honored

uesday’s Children, which serves individuals impacted by mass violence like 9/11 and Gold Star Families, finally held its 20th Anniversary Dinner at the Plandome Country Club after a two-year hiatus. The night’s honorees were Eric Carlstrom, a founding board member and a member of the Chairman Circle of Tuesday’s Children, Even Petracca, a former Naval Surface Warfare officer who grew up in Manhasset, and the late Deacon Francis Xavier “Frank” Bice, a founding board member of Tuesday’s Children who inspired many throughout his life by continuing to achieve his dreams and helping others after a tragic spinal cord injury that left him a quadriplegic. Approximately 200 attendees flooded the Plandome Country Club on April 28 to enjoy professional photos taken by an on-site photographer, a cocktail hour complete with red wine and sangrias, an auction, a complete buffet dinner and of course supporting an organization that everyone can get behind. Tuesday’s Children was formed during the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks. The founders committed to supporting the families impacted that day, as well as the families of fallen soldiers and those affected by mass violence and acts of terrorism. Tuesday’s Children provides emotional support, programs, career counseling and mentorship to those victimized by violence. After attendees got to their seat, attendees heard from Herbert McCooey Jr. of the Chairman’s Circle of Tuesday’s Children. “For those of you who are new to Tuesday’s Children, you should know that Tuesday’s Children was founded here in Manhasset 20 years ago,” McCooey Jr. said. “Forty-nine families in this community lost loved ones: fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters. We made a promise to them, then. And we would support them for the long haul. We did not know at the time that 20 years later our mission would expand nationally and globally to provide this support for all of those who would suffer loss due to terrorism, mass violence, military conflict-domestically and around the world.” McCooey then presented the 2022 Youth Leadership Award to Manhasset High School senior Silvana Davi, who volunteers with Tuesday’s Children and wrote an essay titled “A Teenager’s Perspective & Message on 9/11 20 Years Later: Reflect, Give Back & Never Forget.” “Silvana... [has] a wide variety of interests and passion,” McCooey said. “Silvana serves as president of the Italian Honor Society and holds membership in the History and Art Honor societies. Silvana is involved in many after school clubs, [serving] as the

Attendees tried their luck for prizes at the live auction.

Terry Sears, the executive director of Tuesday’s Children, shares with attendees the latest work Tuesday’s Children has been doing to support victims of mass violence and Gold Star Families. business secretary for the Council of Greater Manhasset Civic Associations and finds the time to work part-time at Sneakerology in the Americana.” Davi will study management at Bentley University in Massachusetts. “I have volunteered for Tuesday’s Children ever since I was a freshman in high school and I was so intrigued by Tuesday’s Children because I’ve always been so drawn to learning about 9/11,” Davi said. “I wasn’t born yet, but I’ve always heard my parents tell stories about how they were in the city and 9/11 has always had an important place in my heart, even though I didn’t lose anyone, but I know so many who did.” In regards to the 2022 Youth Leadership Award, Davi said she was very thankful and honored to recognized. Before dinner, the blessing was intoned by Father Kevin Smith, who formerly served St. Mary’s Church in Manhasset and offered spiritual and emotional support to fire ighters at Ground Zero. As a trained firefighter, he also helped search for victims at Ground Zero. “I’m so happy we’re live, in-person tonight,” Father Smith said to the crowd, then asking those who have been with Tuesday’s Children for 20 years to stand up. “This is a very special moment to be here in this room and to remember so many faces from 20 years ago and within the past 20 years. The work that Tuesday’s Children has done is just incredible. I’m looking forward to the next 20 years too.” After the delicious buffet dinner, remarks were made by Terry Sears, the executive

director of Tuesday’s Children, Lew Godlis, a mentor from Tuesday’s Children and Frederick J. Strobel, the vice-chairman of the organization. Amid their speeches, the honorees were recognized. Honoree Eric Carlstrom of Lattingtown has worked for global insurance and human capital consulting firm Aon for 35 years, currently holding the position of executive vice president and managing director. But aside from his successful career, Carlstrom has dedicated himself to Tuesday’s Children as a founding board member, also finding time to serve on the Board of Directors of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and the Advisory Board of Grenville Boys & Girls Club. He has also been involved with Telecare and the Institute for Student Achievement. Honoree Evan Petracca, who currently resides in Bronxville but grew up in Manhasset, was called to serve in the United States Navy after the events of September 11, 2001. He served for six years as a surface warfare officer on the destroyer USS Halsey (DDG 97), as gunnery officer and on the littoral combat ship USS Freedom (LCS 1) as main propulsion assistant. He completed three deployments during the Global War on Terrorism, which included counter-piracy, freedom of navigation and aircraft carrier defense operations. After completing his military service, Petracca earned a Master’s in Business Administration from Columbia Business School and is the chief operating officer at Triangle Equities, a real estate development firm.

Deacon Francis Xavier “Frank” Bice received a posthumous lifetime service award. Bice passed away on New Years Day in 2020, and his life was one that touched many. He was from Manhasset and a founding member of Tuesday’s Children. He was know as a “friend, a coach, a gifted speaker, a published author, a mentor, a storyteller, a comedian and a miracle.” Bice’s life changed in 1980 when he sustained a spinal cord injury while playing college football for Siena College. Even as a quadriplegic, he returned to school to coach the football and lacrosse teams while finishing his senior year. He earned a master’s degree from the Seminary of Immaculate Conception in Huntington and Yale University. He was ordained as a deacon in 2005 and established The Cranwell Foundation to give at-risk youths educational scholarship opportunities. He inspired his students and athletes at St. Mary’s in Manhasset, Sacred Heart Academy in Hempstead and Canterbury School. He moved to Indiana in 2019 to become involved with the University of Notre Dame. “Frank was an inspiration to a lot of people and obviously was an inspiration to Terry Sears, in terms of why she wanted to join,” Frederick J. Strobel said. “And in a way, we wouldn’t be here tonight if it wasn’t for Frank. And if that says everything why we are here tonight, that’s the reason why he in his memory is receiving this award.” An interview with Bice then played on the television screens. Attendees were clearly moved by his wisdom, generosity, determination and resilience.

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.

Nassau County residents who are struggling with mortgage issues are invited to attend the free clinic to consult with a volunteer attorney to get their legal questions answered. “The Mortgage Foreclosure Assistance Project is proud to celebrate this tremendous milestone in direct service to the community,” said attorney Director Madeline Mullane. “Our clinics have helped thousands of homeowners and tenants understand their rights and options in trying to retain their homes.” Attorneys who participate in the Mortgage Foreclosure clinic are providing one-time free counsel. However, they do not provide further legal representation. Bilingual attorneys are available upon request. “Our volunteers continue to be integral

to our project, devoting their time and efforts to assisting with these clinics and providing vital information to clients in distress “ Mullane explained. “The project remains committed to providing these services as we continue to navigate through uncertain economic times.” Attendees dealing with mortgage foreclosure may be able to obtain ongoing legal and/or housing counseling services for free from a HOPP agency, funded by the New York State Attorney General’s office to assist homeowners. They may also be referred to the NCBA Lawyer Referral Information Service for other legal issues related to the foreclosure. In addition to the 250th clinic, the NCBA Mortgage Foreclosure Project hosts multiple clinics per year. Advanced registration is required. To register for a free, one-on-one consultation with an attorney, or to learn more about NCBA’s community service programs, contact mortgageforeclosure@nassaubar.org or call 516-747-4070, ext. 1308. —Submitted by the Nassau

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.

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.

Hochul & MTA Need To Have $kin In the Game When It Comes To The Interborough Express On Jan. 5, 2022, Governor Kathy Hochul announced her support for the multi-billion dollar Interborough Express.

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

SEE YOU AROUND THE TOWN Patty Servidio

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

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

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

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

Governor Kathy Hochul (CC BY-SA 4.0)

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

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

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

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

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

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

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

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

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.

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

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

Compassionate care for Sinai Chapels families is now available at Riverside-Nassau North Chapels. Thurston O’Neal, is pictured here flanked by Donna Teichner, LCSW, Assistant Vice President, Prevention and Family Support FCA, and JoAnn Alexander, Administrative Coordinator, FCA.

Graduation Ceremony for Leadership Summit THE ROSLYN NEWS STAFF roslyn@antonmediagroup.com

CA’s Girls Empowerment & Leadership (GEL) Summit, a fourmonth program designed to create a supportive environment for young women attending middle school and high school, recently completed its inaugural session with a red carpet “Night of Elegance and Achievement,” for graduates of the summit. Administered by FCA’s award-winning Hempstead Prevention Coalition (HPC) and made possible with funding from New York State Governor Kathy Hochul and the Nassau County Office of Youth Services, the three main goals of the summit were to include girls in an environment that fosters strong relationship building, inform the girls on how to effectively identify and navigate opportunities and barriers, and to invest in these girls by creating the platforms for them to mentor, influence, and advocate for themselves and their peers. “The summit serves to open a world of opportunity and smart choices for girls by creating a supportive, inclusive, and safe space for girls from various areas of Nassau County to learn, grow, and be empowered,” said Thurston O’Neal, director, FCA Hempstead Prevention Coalition. “Our graduation event was joyous, with girls and

their families enjoying an evening acknowledging and supporting their great potential to live a full, productive life.” The virtual summit featured four tiers: Public Speaking & Leadership; Violence & Substance Prevention; Self-Advocacy; and Valuing Education. Each tier was presented by community experts including the honorable Brianna A. Vaughan, Village Justice for the Village of Hempstead; Motivational Speaker and Life & Success Coach Jessica Toussaint; and community resident and activist Victoria Roberts, who shared her lived experience on how she turned her life around to become a high achiever with a degree in social work and as the recipient of multiple awards. The discussions were diverse and lively. FCA President and CEO Dr. Jeffrey L. Reynolds congratulated Thurston O’Neal and the entire Hempstead Prevention Coalition. “We at FCA are extremely proud of Thurston, thankful for his work and appreciative of this recognition. Acknowledging the great need for mental health awareness and support, FCA’s Hempstead Prevention Coalition makes a difference creating a safe space for our community youth to engage and be seen. Developing young leaders in the Village of Hempstead will better position our community for success for generations to come. Thurston’s work has been thoughtful, engaging, and inclusive, always with an eye towards creating systems of change and a renewed sense of community.”

Dear Friends, For four generations, Sinai Chapels has served New York’s Jewish community with compassion and care. After over 40 years of personal commitment to Sinai Chapels, I have decided to close the Fresh Meadows chapel to spend more time with my family. I will continue, however, to assist families as a consultant alongside many of Sinai’s longtime funeral directors who have also joined this accomplished team. RiversideNassau North Chapels specializes in all movements in the Jewish faith, and I personally selected them to serve families that have relied on Sinai Chapels for many years. On behalf of all of us at Sinai Chapels, thank you for trusting us to serve you. If you have prearrangements with us, please know that your contract is safe and will be honored by Riverside-Nassau North Chapels (55 N Station Plaza, Great Neck), as well as other providers in the Dignity Memorial® network. If you have questions regarding your prearrangement, please call us at 718-445-0300. For other questions or additional information, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at 516-487-9769 or visit www.jewishfunerals.com. Sincerely, Michael Resnick President, Sinai Chapels

SCHOOL NEWS

Soni Named Long Island Scholar Artist Winner

erricks High School senior Keneil Soni was honored as one of 20 Long Island Scholar Artists for this school year. His profile was featured in Newsday for the month of May highlighting his academic and artistic successes in the area of music. The Scholar Artist program is managed by the Woodbury-based Long Island Arts Alliance. “We are very proud of Keneil and his accomplishments,” said Anissa Arnold, Herricks’ director of fine and performing arts. “The hard work and dedication demanded by his craft is evident. Keneil is an excellent representative of our music program.” The Long Island Scholar Artist program recognizes student achievement in the arts and academics. Arts educators may nominate students for the honor each March. Over the summer, a panel of arts educators uses a rigorous process to adjudicate many pieces of submitted works and announce students in late August. Soni was recognized at a kick-off celebration in September and was honored again at a year-end celebration at the Tilles Center for the Performing.

Soni began playing the French horn in the fourth grade. Ever since he attended a masterclass session with musician Sarah Willis, Soni fell in love with the art and found a new passion in the creativity and expression of music. Currently, Soni plays in the Juilliard Pre-College orchestra and will be a member of the National Youth Orchestra touring Europe this summer.

Soni is also the Class of 2022 valedictorian and will attend Harvard University next year. The Scholar-Artist Awards program, sponsored by the Long Island Arts Alliance (LIAA), recognizes students judged to be “the best of the best” on Long Island in both academics and in the arts. LIAA partners with area universities to offer full scholarships to qualified honorees.

East Hills Elementary School held a week-long circus skills program for fifth graders. Students had a lot of fun learning a variety of clever new tricks like stilt walking, plate-spinning, juggling, and hoola-hooping. The workshops focused on coordination, timing, and team building. At the end of the week, the fifth graders put on a lively performance inside the gym for the entire school.

Harbor Hill third graders put on an outstanding recorder concert performance in the gym on Friday, May 13. “All of the students worked tremendously hard to learn their first real instrument,’” said music teacher Dorothy Burns. “Students prepared for months, learning to practice both in school and at home. It was so exciting to see them perform live for their families, teachers, and friends.” The music was a mix of old recorder classics such as “Hot Cross Buns” and hits such as “We Will Rock You.”

Rare Documents On Washington’s Spy Ring

ong Island University announced a researcher who is exploring George Washington’s Culper Spy Ring has found key documents that were previously unknown in its digital archives. The historic discovery was found in LIU’s “Digitizing Local History Sources,” which offers the public access to a vast resource of historical materials related to Long Island. According to the researcher, Mark Sternberg, the Culper Spy Ring Historian for the Drowned Meadow Cottage Museum in Port Jefferson, one newly-discovered document, in particular, is highly significant as it relates directly to Washington’s Culper Spy Ring. Washington used illicit trading as a cover for spy operations in other locations, but before now Sternberg had never seen this tactic mentioned in relation to the Culper Spy Ring. When comparing this document to others, Sternberg has recently found, John Roe Jr., brother of courier Austin Roe, emerges as the head of this cover operation. The operation ran from Drowned Meadow, now modern-day Port Jefferson, to areas

in and near Fairfield and Stratford in Connecticut. This notable find is only one of many fascinating documents and photographs that scholars, researchers and the general public are uncovering now that LIU’s treasure trove of digital archives is accessible. Long Island University’s Palmer School of Library and Information Science recently launched “Digitizing Local History Sources,” a groundbreaking five-year project and website offering the public access to more than 65,000 pages of historical materials from 45 participating historical societies across Long Island. The endeavor was funded by a $1.5 million grant from the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation. Ranked among the “Best Archival Science Programs” in the country by U.S. News & World Report, the Palmer School has offered 105 master’s and doctoral students the ability to digitize the documents since the project launched in 2017. “Students of the Palmer School have become world-renowned archivists, historians and librarians,”

said Long Island University President Kimberly R. Cline. “I am proud that LIU can offer them a unique experiential learning opportunity that will forever preserve the history of Long Island.” The collection documents the breadth of life on Long Island: from the diary of a 1920s schoolgirl to the daily calendar of a World War II school superintendent; from the daily account book of an 18th century blacksmith to advertising scrapbooks from the quintessential Long Island department store; from 17th century deeds to 20th century real estate agent records; from photos of early 1900s automobile races to scrapbooks documenting the destruction caused by the Hurricane of 1938; and from the daily life of wealthy Gold Coast residents to the treasured photo albums of Fire Island community members. Current students of the Palmer School continue to digitize historical documents and update the collection on an ongoing basis. ---Submitted by Long Island University

Stop Asian Hate With Education Community rallies against Asian hate and calls for better education on Asian-American History

JULIE PRISCO jprisco@antonmediagroup.com

n Saturday, May 21, government officials, Chinese-American and Asian-American community groups, students and teachers got together at Firefighters Park in Great Neck to support a bill expanding Asian-American history education in schools across New York State. NYS Senator Anna Kaplan, Assemblywoman Gina Sillitti, Congresswoman Grace Meng and NYS Senator John Liu decided to host the rally during AAPI heritage month. Unfortunately, Congresswoman Meng was unable to attend, but the other hosts, local students and teachers were there to show support. North Hempstead town supervisor Jennifer DeSena attended the rally as well. The Asian American History Education Bill, sponsored by Senator Liu, will require elementary and high schools to provide instruction in Asian-American history and civil impact. At the rally, fliers with QR codes were passed out for people to scan and sign petitions supporting the bill. According to the FBI and NYPD, anti-Asian hate crimes and incidents are at an all-time high. There have been brutal cases where Anti-Asian violence took innocent lives. The rally supporting the Asian-American History Education Bill detailed the Asian-American struggle in our community and why education is necessary to combat this hate. After New Hyde Park veteran Master Sergeant Peter Gong led the group in the pledge of allegiance, Senator Kaplan took the podium with her opening remarks for the rally. “With the climate of hate and division being stoked by white supremacists who want to tell us that diversity is a bad thing, we’re here to tell them our diversity is our strength,” said Senator Kaplan. “Our diversity makes us the special community we are, and our diversity enriches our community. We reject the idea that diversity shouldn’t be taught in our schools.” According to the Pew Research Center, one-third of Asian-Americans live in fear of threats, physical attacks and violence, causing them to change their behavior to keep them safe, Senator Kaplan explained. “The more we know about our history, the better we understand the journey of our neighbors and the closer we can be as a community,” said Senator Kaplan. “It is time to empower our community with knowledge and fight hate together with education.”

Government officials stand with residents to show support. (Photo by Julie Prisco) Senator Kaplan has partnered with Assemblywoman Sillitti to help pass legislation that benefits our community. “We’re trying to show people there is support for [this bill]; it’s not just politicians talking about it, it’s the community talking about it,” said Assemblywoman Sillitti. “In addition to showing support, [everyone here] shows unity and how important Senator Liu’s bill is not only to the Asian Community but to everyone in our community.” Senator Kaplan introduced “future leaders” at the rally, who approached the podium to speak of their personal stories involving discrimination and the lack of Asian-American history being taught in school. One student from Great Neck South High School, one from Manhasset High School, and three from Herricks High School eloquently spoke to the crowd cheering them on. “I’m here today because I have personally been affected by the absence of Asian-American history in our public school systems,” said Vicki Lin, junior at Great Neck South. “Because of this, ignorance towards my people has been excused and

normalized…The fact that xenophobia increased towards Asian Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic further proves that there isn’t enough to educate the public.” “Supporting this legislation is a step towards promoting an equitable view of Asian-Americans in the U.S,” said Lin. “It’s an opportunity to teach the brutal history Asian-Americans have endured while also sharing our wonderful traditions and culture. Ignorance should no longer be an excuse for anti-Asian hate.” Lin and the other students shared their experiences with racism, their acts of activism in their schools, and their reasons for supporting the Asian-American History Education Bill, while encouraging everyone in attendance to do the same. Betty Long, a retired NYC teacher and New Hyde Park resident, Jeff Shi, a member of the Great Neck Board of Education, and Juleigh Chin, a member of the Herricks Board of Education, also spoke on the bill at the rally. “I have a dream that we will see each other and realize we have way more similarities than we have differences,” said Chin. “We

need to be intentional about including AsianAmericans in curriculum…We need to add Asian-American history and achievements into the state-mandated curriculum so that we as Asian-Americans can grow out of the category of ‘other’ and into the rightful place of American.” Senator Liu introduced the AsianAmerican History Education Bill in 2021 upon seeing a rise in hate crimes against Asian-Americans in New York and across the country. The crowd, students and government officials were overjoyed to have Senator Liu join the rally and discuss the bill at the podium. “I don’t believe any human being is born with hate, but they learn to hate through a combination of fear and ignorance,” said Senator Liu. “The only way to stop this and reverse the hate is by teaching people; by teaching people about who we are, what our history has been and what our experience has led us to.” Visit goaction.net/aapihistorybill/ to learn more about the Asian-American History Education Bill.
