hen Brooklyn Nine-Nine ends its fifth season on Sunday, May 20, viewers can expect the much-anticipated wedding of Detectives Jake Peralta and Amy Santiago, as well as the show’s trademark ridiculousness and witty banter. But no Nine-Nine wedding, or episode, would be as fun without the sarcastic commentary of Rosa Diaz, the smart, yet scary detective who can shut anyone up with the mere raise of an eyebrow. Taking on the role of one of TV’s most snarky detectives is Stephanie Beatriz, who after five seasons on the show, still can’t believe her good fortune. “I’m very grateful. I don’t think I’ve ever dreaded coming into work,” said Beatriz. “This is everything I could have ever dreamed of growing up.” That dream goes well beyond just making it as an actress. As an Argentinian transplant to the United States, Beatriz noted that the only onscreen diversity she was exposed to as a child was on Sesame Street or on the Spanish channel. She, along with her castmates Melissa Fumero, Andre Braugher and Terry Crews, now play a significant part in changing that trend. Beatriz initially auditioned for the role of Detective Amy Santiago and when she heard that the part had gone to Fumero, a fellow Latina, she was devastated. “I said there was no way in hell a network TV show would have not one, not two, not three, but four people of color in the main cast,” said Beatriz. But lucky for her, she was wrong. A character in

Top Cop Lineup BY ANTHONY MURRAY

RoboCop
t’s no secret that any type of law enforcement occupation is serious business. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t find some sort of entertainment about the men and women in blue. There are countless television shows and movies about police officers—whether it’s reality shows, comedies or plain old parodies. Here’s a look at some of the shows and movies that depict the adventures of police officers. Starting with television, COPS premiered on Fox in 1989 and is still going strong with new episodes now airing on the Paramount Network. COPS follows the daily activities of police officers by assigning television camera crews to accompany officers as they perform their duties. The show does not consist of any narration or scripted dialog and depends entirely on the actions of the officers and the people they come into contact with. The show is also recognizable to most people because of its iconic theme

song “Bad Boys” that was performed COPS: Beyond the Bust. On the other side of the spectrum, by reggae group Inner Circle. In August we have the parody of COPS—Reno 2017, COPS celebrated its 1,000th 911!, which ran from 2003-09 on episode with a live special called, Comedy Central. With comedic actors playing police officers, Reno 911! featured members of the fictitious and massively inept Reno Sheriff’s Department. The show dealt heavily in politically incorrect and racy humor, including many jokes about race, sexual orientation, substance abuse, rape and mental disorders. The show even spawned a movie release in 2007 called Reno 911!: Miami. Jumping into the theatrical side, there’s the 1987 action film, RoboCop. The film takes place in a crime-ridden OR K P Detroit, MI, that was set in the future ST ST where police officer Alex Murphy E is murdered by a gang of criminals. However, Murphy was then revived by the megacorporation Omni Consumer Products (OCP) as a superhuman cyborg law enforcer known as RoboCop. The film received positive reviews and was cited as one of the best films of IT 1987, spawning a franchise that includM Y ed merchandise, sequels, a television series, an animated TV series, video games and a number of comic book adaptations and crossovers. Next is Kindergarten Cop—an American comedy-drama film that was released in 1990. The film followed John Kimble, a tough police detective working undercover as a kindergarten teacher to apprehend the vicious drug dealer Cullen Crisp before Crisp can get to his former wife and son. But while undercover, Kimble discovers

his passion for teaching and considers changing his profession to become a teacher. The film which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger received mixed reviews from critics but was a box office success by grossing $202 million worldwide. Last but not least is the 2001 film Super Troopers, which followed five Vermont state troopers who were avid pranksters with a specialty for screwing up. However, due to their department being on the chopping block because of proposed budget cuts, the troopers try to save their jobs and out-do the local police department by solving a crime. The film grossed $23.2 million worldwide and would eventually become a cult movie with Esquire describing it as a shaggy-dog classic for Generation Y. Last month, the sequel Super Troopers 2 was released in theaters.

THEATRE
Mean Girls Struts To Broadway BY KIMBERLY DIJKSTRA
KdiJKStra@antonmediagroup.com
I
n 2004, the brilliant comedic mind of Tina Fey gave the world Mean Girls, a wry depiction of high school for the in-crowd and those on the outside. The instant classic has made its way to Broadway with the outstanding creative team— book writer Tina Fey, composer Jeff Richmond, lyricist Nell Benjamin and director and choreographer Casey Nicholaw—at the helm. Starring Erica Henningsen as Cady Heron, a homeschooled student transplanted from Africa, and Taylor Louderman as Regina George, the undisputed Queen Bee of suburban Illinois’ North Shore High, the musical comedy hits all the right notes. Henningsen steps into the role made famous by Lindsay Lohan with ease and a similar wide-eyed quality as Cady deals with the unfamiliar insecurity that comes with navigating high school politics. Louderman is known for originating the role of Campbell in Bring It On: The Musical, portraying Wendy in NBC’s Peter Pan Live! and most recently playing Lauren in Kinky Boots. A far cry from a quirky factory worker, Regina is ruthless as she works to maintain her status as the top of the food chain. Louderman’s stage presence and piercing voice during “World Burn” solidify her place as the “Apex Predator.” Cady grapples with her new habitat by viewing high school students as the wild animals that they are. Conflict arises when Cady inadvertently develops a crush on Regina’s ex, Aaron, played by Kyle Selig, a no-no in the animal kingdom. Gretchen Wieners (Ashley Park) and Karen Smith (Kate Rockwell) round out the titular group of mean girls, known as The Plastics. Park, who played Tuptim in the 2015 revival of The King and I, neurotically always second guesses herself as Gretchen, whose worst fear is to be replaced as Regina’s sidekick. Her excellent comedic timing is almost enough to make “fetch” happen. Karen, who appears to have more beauty than brains, is refreshingly sincere, and not necessarily as dumb as she seems. On the other end of the popularity spectrum are Janis Sarkisian (Barrett Wilbert Weed) and Damian Hubbard (Grey Henson), who choose not to be part of any clique. The duo narrate the
show as well as participate in it, first, by taking Cady under their wing and sharing their high school wisdom. Weed is no stranger to musicals about the social hierarchy of teenagers; she played Veronica Sawyer in the Off-Broadway adaptation of Heathers. As Janis, she is rebellious, artsy and vulnerable. Act II tune “I’d Rather Be Me,” sung by the sardonic Janis, has all the
trappings of positive anthems like Dear Evan Hansen’s “You Will Be Found” and The Greatest Showman’s “This Is Me,” with an unsentimental and pointedly feminist twist. “Too gay to function” Damien’s rotating T-shirt wardrobe features his idols—Liza Minelli, Judy Garland and several drag queens. The Book of Mormon alum is always on the verge of a big song and dance number and gets to show off his
20180511_XAL_LNW_PG00 - 1:37 May 7, 2018
tap-dancing skills during “Stop,” in which he hilariously preaches smartphone self-control to Cady. He also leads some Newsies-meets-Stomp lunch tray action in the first act. Kerry Butler, a Tina Fey lookalike in the role of Ms. Norbury, transforms to play several distinctive characters. Rick Younger as the principal with no control, Mr. Duvall, gets some zingers in. The digital set serves the story well, allowing fast transitions between scenes and imaginative backgrounds. It is used to tell the social media angle of the tale, which has evolved greatly in the past 14 years and the show reflects that. Mean Girls has something to say about what it means to be a friend and how to treat others. It’s also a fun romp with biting humor and perfect casting. Fans of the film will be pleased the musical adaptation encapsulates what they love about the film, with the added layer of song and dance. Mean Girls is nominated for 12 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Original Score, Best Choreography and nods for Taylor Louderman, Grey Henson, Ashley Park and Tina Fey. Catch the Tonys on Sunday, June 10, at 8 p.m. on CBS. See Mean Girls at the August Wilson Theatre, 245 West 52nd St. For tickets, visit meangirlsonbroadway.com.

ew York’s McLain Ward and Clinta emerged as champions of the Longines Masters of New York’s main event, the Longines Grand Prix, on April 29, after an exciting four days at the Longines Masters of New York’s debut at the Nassau Coliseum. After the first round of the weekend’s main event, 14 out of the 30 elite-level riders moved on to the second round, the jump-off. The winning duo dominated the final class of the Longines Masters Series, as McLain posted an impressive time of 34.92 seconds and were closely followed by Peder Fredricson and Erynn Ballard. The highlight of the four-day competition, the Longines Grand Prix, is presented by Longines, Title Partner and Official Timekeeper of the Longines Masters Series in Paris, Hong Kong, and New York. “It’s always nice to win on your home soil in the U.S. and extra special in New York,” said Ward, following his victory. “I can remember years ago when I was a young kid, I won a grand
Champing At The Bit prix at the [Madison Square] Garden and that was very special because it was the home state and the home city. It was very special today here.” The American Grand Slam had prize money of $382,800. With this
historic win, Ward is now the new contender for the Grand Slam Bonus of $1 million if he wins the Longines Grand Prix in Paris and Hong Kong in Season IV. Earlier in the final day of competition, Serena Marron won
the Masters Three Devialet Grand Prix 1.15m, and following four days of intense competition in the Masters Three division, Summer Paulos (USA) captured the Leading Riding Title with three podium

It is our goal to break down the stigma about mental health so people can gain a better understanding and be responsive to it.
’’
team here, making sure we are out there in the community connecting with our legislators, county and state officials to ensure that mental health stays in the forefront,” said Franco, who interacts with people to help mold the conversation around mental wellness. “It’s a real issue and here at MHANC, we use mental health first aid to train and educate folks on the basis and understanding of mental health so they know the language associated with it.” Franco also spoke of the stigma around school shootings, and how quick others are to judge when the term is seemingly thrown about. Statistics have shown that people with mental health issues are more likely to be victims of violence and while it is a grave concern, Franco believes that it can be prevented. “There is treatment, recovery and education available. There are things that can help people learn about an issue that is so much a part of our society,” she said of mental health. “It’s something we work at for 12 months, 24/7, 365 days a year.” In honor of the month, MHANC will host several events both internally and externally to raise awareness about mental health, including an upcoming walk on May 19 at Eisenhower Park, which kicks off at 1 p.m.
The walkathon is called “Steps for Hope,” something Franco believes will help her cause when MHANC goes to Washington D.C. in June to see what kind of impact they will have there. “You’re not alone. People can come to us in a judge free zone and talk about their issues, knowing that they will receive support from other families going through similar situations.” MHANC sponsors 31 services and programs to benefit adults, children, families and the community-at-large. Current programs include daily visits for recovery, education and training workshops, adults receiving financial management and veterans service. Of the veterans, Franco noted that many of the vets are coming home from the most recent war with a host of mental issues. “We call them ‘cellar dwellers’ because before these vets went to war, they were indoors, growing up on video games,” said Franco, “When they come back home, they come back to that and it is difficult for them to leave the house. Our vets deserve this help, they have earned it.” For the 65th anniversary, Franco said that there is a big celebration in the works towards the end of the year with events throughout. More than a party, she wants to get the message across that MHANC is here to answer questions and provide support, especially for those who may not yet know how much they need it. “Mental health isn’t going away,” said Franco. “It is our goal to break down the stigma about mental health so people can gain a better understanding and be responsive to it.” The Mental Health Association of Nassau County is located at 16 Main St., Hempstead, NY. For more information, call 516-489-2322 or visit www.mhanc.org.
As MHANC is celebrating 65 years of service, we look forward to going deeper, higher and wider as we continue to advocate, educate and serve in Nassau County.

ay is Mental Health Awareness Month. Although it is a positive step in the right direction to dedicate an entire month to such a cause, mental health is a conversation that should be had year round for those who struggle with stress, loneliness, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, death, suicidal thoughts, grief, addiction, ADHD, mood disorders and other mental illnesses of varying degrees. The Mental Health Association of Nassau County (MHANC) is a nonprofit membership organization dedicated to improving mental health in the community through advocacy, education, program development and the delivery of direct services. Eda Franco, LMSW, MBA is the executive director of MHANC and with almost two years under her belt in the role, she strengthens a team that works tirelessly to squash the stigma around mental health. “This is my dream job and it has been my career goal for a long time. I’ve been privileged to find an organization rich in history and commitment to Nassau County, particularly around mental health awareness,” said Franco of the organization, which is celebrating 65 years. “Being helpful in the community to address issues that impact our residents and families is of great importance, so we have multiple programs and initiatives available.” Emphasizing the importance of mental health awareness is all about connecting to the community. According to Franco, MHANC offers the support and education people need to help their loved ones by advocating for the needs of adults and children with psychiatric and emotional difficulties. “I have an opportunity to influence how people view mental health. We have a wonderful support

symptoms of clinical depression or anxiety may manifest differently from adults. For example, children or adolescents who are experiencing depression may present with an increase in irritability. Children or adolescents experiencing anxiety may exhibit frequent avoidance or reassurance- seeking, as well as frequent somatic complaints including stomach aches and headaches. Family and friends can help individuals suffering from depression or anxiety by providing emotional support and validation. Inquiring about feelings, listening and being genuine and non- judgmental can go a long way towards helping someone cope. Assisting the individual with establishing or maintaining daily routines (such as regular mealtimes and sleep/wake times), and even encouraging light exercise, can help to provide relief from negative feelings and thoughts. Family or friends should ask about
whether the individual is having thoughts of suicide. If the individual is experiencing thoughts of hurting himself/ herself or others, health care professionals should be contacted. If there is an imminent safety threat it should be treated as an emergency requiring a visit to the emergency room. One of the biggest obstacles to seeking and engaging in mental health treatment continues to be the stigma of mental illness. Often, individuals minimize symptoms in order to avoid this stigma. Understanding that both the mind and body deserve our utmost attention, and letting go of judgments regarding mental illness, can help remove the barrier to accessing and engaging in appropriate care. Alison Gilbert, PhD is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist. She is currently a Clinical Assistant Professor at Hofstra Northwell School of Medicine with a certificate in Autism Spectrum Disorders from U.C. Davis.

to remember that patients will be responsible for deductible and co-insurance payments as with any other care covered by their plans, it is also true that when insurance companies have denied claims or presented obstacles to coverage, challenging those decisions, up to the state’s attorney general if necessary, can be successful with skilled patient advocates who fight for you. The WHCRA is of enormous value to women. It provides a crucial baseline benefit in helping women recover from breast cancer. The sponsors of the WHCRA in Congress understood that breast reconstruction was often pivotal for a woman’s physical and emotional well-being. In my practice, we work hard to ensure that women can focus their energies on getting well without the additional burden of financial pressure, so we do everything we can to relieve our patients of the anxiety and stress of managing the relationship with their insurers. Constance M. Chen, MD, is a board-certified plastic surgeon in New York City with special expertise in the use of innovative natural techniques to optimize medical and cosmetic outcomes for women undergoing breast reconstruction. She is Clinical Assistant Professor of Surgery (Plastic Surgery) at Weill Cornell Medical College and Clinical Assistant Professor of Surgery (Plastic Surgery) at Tulane University School of Medicine.

Guidance Center Spring Luncheon Raises More Than $68,000
orth Shore Child & Family Guidance Center, the preeminent not-for-profit children’s mental health agency on Long Island, recently raised more than $68,000 to support the mission to restore and strengthen the emotional well-being of children and their families. The event, which took place at Glen Head Country Club, began with exciting games of Mahjong, Canasta and Bridge, along with unique shopping boutiques from some of Long Island’s trendiest and most charitable small business owners, including Dale’s Novelty Knits, Dash, Designs That Donate, iThrive, Kostume Klassics, Museum Coffee House and RFC Fine Jewelry, among others. Following the delicious luncheon buffet came a most informative and engaging presentation by keynote speaker Dr. Victor M. Fornari, MD, who is also the Director of the Division of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry at The Zucker Hillside Hospital and Cohen’s Children’s Medical Center and Professor of Psychiatry & Pediatrics at the Donald & Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell. He discussed the latest developments in the field of children’s mental health, focusing on the Mobility study currently being done in conjunction with the Guidance Center and others of a medication named Metformin.

“The purpose of this study is to determine if adding Metformin to a healthy lifestyle program would help children and teens control weight gain caused by certain medications,” said Fornari. He explained that a large percentage of some anti-psychotic medications for children and adolescents cause weight gain, which increases the risk of developing Type II diabetes as well as cardiovascular,
neurological and digestive conditions. Fornari cited “the courage” of Dr. Reena Nandi, the Guidance Center’s Director of Psychiatric Services, Executive Director Andrew Malekoff and other Guidance Center colleagues for playing such a central role in this study. He also said that the Guidance Center is “the most productive of all of our partners.” He also told the audience that this
is the largest pediatric psychopharmacological study ever funded by PCORI, the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute. “We are proud to partner with such a prestigious and patient-outcome drive study,” said Nandi. “We’re eagerly awaiting the results, which could have a dramatic impact on the health of children and adolescents.” The luncheon couldn’t have been so successful without the hard work of co-chairs, Jan Ashley, Amy Cantor and Alexis Siegel. “For several years, these three dedicated Guidance Center supporters have taken on the formidable task of organizing this exciting and informative event,” said Malekoff. “Their dedication to our mission is unwavering.” The center is also grateful for the support of their sponsors: The Children’s Medical Center at NYU Winthrop Hospital; Ruth Fortunoff Cooper; Americana Manhasset; Nancy Lane; Andrea Leeds; Signature Bank; Amy Cantor; Fara Copell; Klipper Family Foundation; Tracey Murray Kupferberg, CBR; Power Travel; Raich Ender Malter & Co.

RECOGNIZING STRESS
Three Ways Stress Takes A Toll On Your Body
BY RICHARD PURVIS
diarrhea or constipation. If your stress becomes chronic, you might develop ulcers or severe stomach pain. So what’s to be done? Stress is a natural occurrence in life and happens to everyone. Since you can’t avoid your job, bills, or other life experiences, the best thing to do is learn to manage stress. You won’t avoid stress entirely, but it is possible to minimize the effects by eating healthy, exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, and taking care of yourself in general.
editorial@antonmediagroup.com
Did the latest challenge at work bring on a tightening in your stomach? Does constant worry about a loved one’s health make you physically ill yourself? Everyone at some point feels the effects of stress. Not everyone deals with stress in the best way, though. Often stressed-out people seek relief through alcohol, tobacco or drugs, but that just makes matters worse. Instead of relieving stress, those toxic substances tend to keep the body in a stressed state, causing even more physical problems. It’s always a good time to reflect on how the demands and anxieties of daily life put a strain not just on our minds, but on our bodies as well. Stress, of course, is not always a bad thing. It does serve a positive purpose. It can keep us alert and prepares us to avoid danger, but stress becomes a negative factor when a person faces continuous challenges without any time mixed in for relief or relaxation. As a result, people become overworked, and stress-related anxiety and illness can occur. The strain leads to headaches, upset stomach, elevated blood pressure, chest pain and problems sleeping. Examples of how stress can play havoc on our bodies include:
Musculoskeletal system
When we experience stress, it’s natural for our muscles to tense up. It’s the body’s way of guarding against injury and pain. Usually, the muscles relax once the stressful event passes. But chronic stress keeps the muscles in a constant state of guardedness. When muscles are taut and tense for long periods of time other reactions in the body are triggered. Chronic muscle tension in the shoulders, neck and head can lead to tension-type headaches and migraines.
Respiratory system
Stress causes people to breathe harder. That’s not a problem for most people. But if you suffer from asthma or a lung disease such as emphysema, getting essential oxygen can be difficult. Some studies show that acute stress events, such as the death of a

loved one, can trigger asthma attacks in which the airway between the nose and the lungs constrict. Also, rapid breathing associated with stress, or hyperventilation, can result in a panic attack in some people.
Gastrointestinal system
Sometimes people who are stressed will eat much more than usual. Sometimes they will eat much less. Neither is healthy. You can get heartburn or acid reflux if you eat more food or different types of food, or if you increase how much alcohol you drink or tobacco you use. When you’re stressed, the brain sends alert sensations to the stomach. Your stomach can react with “butterflies,” nausea or pain. Severe stress can cause vomiting,

The Most Common Liver Disease
on-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) is the most common liver disease in the United States, affecting more than 60 million Americans. Previously thought to be benign, it has become the leading indication for liver transplantation in adults under 50 years of age and the leading predisposing risk factor for the development of primary liver cancer in the United States. Unfortunately, its prevalence continues to rise in almost all communities. Simply put, fatty liver is a condition whereby fat gets deposited into the liver. NAFLD in the liver is a spectrum that includes just fat that is non-concerning, fat and inflammation, fat and fibrosis and cirrhosis, all of which are worrisome. Fat with inflammation or fibrosis is termed non-alcoholic steatohepatitis or NASH. NAFLD is usually associated with obesity and diabetes, although normal weight non-diabetics are not uncommonly diagnosed with

HEALTH BRIEF
’’
this. Ninety percent of type 2 diabetics have fatty liver. Steatohepatitis can progress to cirrhosis, liver failure and liver cancer and physicians. Although the percentage of people with NASH who progress to cirrhosis is low, large numbers of people develop advanced disease because the overall number of people with this condition is so high. Interestingly, patients with fatty liver can develop liver cancer without developing cirrhosis and these patients should be screened yearly with an abdominal ultrasound. The diagnosis of fatty liver is usually suggested on an abdominal sonogram or CAT scan. Liver tests may be normal or abnormal. Non-invasive scores utilizing multiple variables are helpful in the evaluation. Transient elastography can determine the degree of steatosis and fibrosis. A liver biopsy is required to determine the extent of fatty infiltration and to determine if inflammation or scarring is present.
Diet, exercise and weight loss are the treatments of choice for NAFLD. Although this regimen makes overall good sense, it is hard for most people to follow. Vitamin E is used in the treatment of NASH with some success. There are many therapies for fatty liver available in clinical studies. Recent data presented at the International Liver Meeting in Paris, France held in April 2018 show significant promise that several of these therapies improve liver fat levels and lead to a decrease in fibrosis levels in periods as short as 12 weeks. People with NAFLD

should strongly consider participation in these studies. For patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, weight gain, poor glucose control and hyperlipidemia should be addressed with weight reduction and adequate glucose and lipid control. Since there is no strong evidence to support any single treatment strategy, physicians should carefully discuss the risks and benefits of multiple therapies with their patients. The best treatment of fatty liver is prevention. Once fatty liver is present, diet and exercise are crucial to prevent long-term complications.

BOOK REVIEW
They Served Their Country In The Shadows Chronicling Italian Americans in WWII spy service BY FRANK RIZZO
FriZZo@antonmediagroup.com
Four days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Italian dictator Benito Mussolini declared war on the United States, joined by German Führer Adolf Hitler. The U.S. was fully thrust into the global conflict. First- and second-generation Italian Americans, now associated with an enemy, found themselves the subject of hostility and suspicion in this country. However, unlike Japanese Americans (named Nisei), they were never forcibly removed and relocated to camps. And just as the Nisei who gained the right to serve their country earned glory—the 442nd Regiment became the most decorated unit in the history of American warfare even as many of its soldiers had family in concentration camps—Americans of Italian extraction also proved their loyalty.
In addition to the armed services, they would get a chance to display their duty and patriotism in America’s wartime spy agency. Salvatore J. LaGumina, professor emeritus at Nassau County Community College and director of its Center for Italian American Studies, brings to light a virtually unknown chapter of that period. His book The Office Of Strategic Services and Italian Americans is subtitled “The Untold Story” and details the exploits of a number of men (and a few women) whose work in the clandestine services brought them honor and distinction. The OSS—the precursor to the CIA— was led by William Donovan (whose portrait graces the cover of LaGumina’s book) and gained fame for its intelligence and operational successes. After a brief history of the agency’s formation, LaGumina takes us to
camps in the Maryland countryside, where trainees were taught specialized skills and steeped in secrecy. He uses the words of actual participants to give first-hand accounts of the intense psychological and physical stresses of turning civilians into skilled operators who would be placed among the most dangerous and treacherous places during wartime—behind enemy lines. At the heart of the book are several chapters detailing how the OSS used its Italian-speaking agents in various strategic spots during the Italian campaign. Starting with the invasion of Sicily in July 1943 until the German surrender in Italy on May 2, 1945, OSS operatives were crucial in gathering intelligence, partnering with the resistance and helping to hasten the defeat of the Axis powers. Of interest to readers would be stories of bravery and ingenuity as agents—many in their early

Not all was glory, of course; there is an account of 15 OSS men—most from the greater New York area—who were captured and executed by the Germans. In the village of Ameglia there is a memorial to the 15, victims of a violation of the Geneva Convention for which the German commander who gave the orders was executed. Concluded LaGumina, “They were a special breed of men and women who meritoriously validated the Italian American vital role in an important dimension of WWII, one that they earned and one that deserves to be shared.” AN AN

When the pendulum swings the other way, which it always does, grandiosity turns to panic and doubt. You’ve compassion for the grandiose, though. Once upon a time you, too, passed through that stage....

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Just because one person is credited with a discovery doesn’t mean others haven’t made the same one. Ultimately, breakthroughs and progress matter more than credit. It’s relevant to your week, because you may stumble onto an idea at the same time as another. Don’t let this deter you. Your take will be unique. CANCER (June 22-July 22). This is an experimental phase in regards to managing your emotions and inner world. You’re game to try new ways of compartmentalizing your feelings. Odd exercises empower you. For instance, you might do something nice for someone you don’t particularly like, just because it’s the mature and right thing to do.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). As far as you’re concerned, there is nothing menial about any job that needs doing, and there’s no task you’re above. There’s reverence in your attitude toward all work this week. If it needs to be done, you’ll approach it with dignity and execute it to the best of your ability. You’ll be noticed and richly rewarded for this. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You can train your mind to go in the direction that will most help you, and that’s what you’ll do. You’ve pinpointed the thought that needs changing. Every time you start to think it, you’ll think something else instead. You’ll curate a set of healthy, positive and motivating thoughts to dive into. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your awareness is turned up and focused outwardly. You may even feel so hyper-aware of the needs and desires of others that it makes you want to spend more time alone, which you should do this week anyway. There are jobs to execute, attitudes to cultivate and wishes to fulfill that are best approached solo. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You can’t really help what you’re interested in and what you’re not. No matter how highbrow, tasteful and beneficial a thing might be, if it’s boring to you, you can’t force yourself to feel otherwise. You can, however, open yourself up to new experiences in hopes that something fantastic will catch on. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’d like to think that someday this week’s chaos will actually make sense, but don’t hold your breath. There’s value in chaos, too. It can challenge and humble us. It’s an invitation to our creativity, strength and adaptability. It can help us see what the constant is -- help us find our anchor. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). This week, you’re feeling more cautious about what to get into, and rightly so. It will serve you well to be careful about where you poke your head in, what you turn your intellect toward, where you let your curiosity wander. What’s done might be able to be undone, but what’s known can’t be unknown. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). This is an excellent week to diversify interests. For instance, one relationship might be the most important to you, but that tie will only improve when you spread your love and friendship around to others. In all things, aim for a well-rounded experience. You’re multifaceted! Avoid overemphasizing any one role.
THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS
It’s mostly about honoring your own values this year. Your excellent choices will be rewarded abundantly and immediately. Most of them will have to do with accepting responsibility, working to your fullest potential and seeing things through to the end. But for so much of the year, excellent choices will have to do with going where the music is and enjoying life. Important: Reward yourself when you know you deserve it and you will be impervious to the foolish invitations to sell your soul. COPYRIGHT 2018 CREATORS.COM

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s a beautiful mystery playing out in your life this week. You’d think that your part would be the one you understood best, but it’s not. People almost never know themselves as well as they think they do. You’ll be surprised by your own feelings, reactions, talents and power moves. You’re truly a wonder.

Fun At The Fair BY JENNIFER FAUCI

unbathing at the beach, lounging by the pool and dining outdoors are some of the privileges of a Long Island summer. In the run up to the warm season, there is one more event that residents can check off their quintessential summer bucket list: The Empire State Fair. The regional state fair is set to come to Nassau Coliseum May 11 through 20, bringing rides, games food, live entertainment and live animals. Empire State Fair president Al Dorso Sr. believes it will be a treat for the whole family. “The Empire State Fair offers continuous more than 50 rides and entertainment in the form of different
acts like racing pigs, a sea lion show, high-wire trapeze act, petting zoo with farm and exotic animals and so much more,” said Dorso of the activities that will be running all day and night long. Scouting the entertainment for

such an event was not an easy feat. Dorso and his team flew around the country, visiting other fairs, performers and met with concession and ride operators to get a good variety of enjoyable entertainment for children and adults. Like any fair worth its salt, you can expect the food to be top notch. Dorso shared some of the vendors, which include Captain Ron’s Caribbean Food and Zabbo Seafood and a stand that wraps everything in bacon. Some of the vendors are also local Long Island shops. “We’ll be featuring the best Greek food vendor in the business, Peter the Greek, as well as Italian, Mexican and other cuisines,” he said. “Of course (Photos by Dennis Mark)

we’ll have pizza, sausage, zeppoles and regular fare like cotton candy and ice cream as well as fried everything.” As for the selection of the venue, Dorso, who is a seasoned veteran in the business—finding success at the Meadowlands for the past 17 years– said NYCB and the Empire State Fair chose one another. “They [NYCB Coliseum] visited me in the Meadowlands years ago, as we do the largest outdoor event in New Jersey, and they wanted to replicate an event like that when they renovated the arena,” said Dorso of the deal. “It’s a great central location.” For tickets and information, call 516-408-1500 or visit www. empirestatefair.com.

Chef Ali is the master of ceremonies at Astoria’s Kabab Café
Sweet Chick has landed in Long Island City Flushing’s Golden Mall offers the real taste of China
the Greek food is amazing and worth the gas money. But instead take a trip just outside of your comfort zone at Ali’s Kabab Café (2512 Steinway St.), a Middle Eastern restaurant that ranks as one of the most unique dining events anywhere. The star attraction, besides the food, is Chef Ali— he is the cook, the waiter, storyteller, food genius and creative mastermind. Ali loudly orates the menu, directing eaters to certain dishes he believes they absolutely must try. On any given night, the best dish might be the lamb shank or grilled baby goat or the babaganush or even lamb cheeks or brain. Allow yourself to be at the mercy of your gregarious host—you won’t regret it. And finally, as it is nestled against the East River, Long Island City marks the end of Queens. The neighborhood has grown by leaps and bounds over the

Pizza and sandwiches go to the extreme at Krave It in Bayside
last decade and a half, transforming from industrial wasteland to gentrified hot spot. And as the young trendsetters moved in, so did the food. One of the newest additions on the neighborhood’s Vernon Boulevard is the southern-fried Sweet Chick (46-42 Vernon Blvd.). Housed in what was once farm-to-table restaurant Alobar (RIP), Sweet Chick delivers the best fried chicken in Queens, including Nashville chicken, which is hard-to-find in its own right. Since Nassau County seriously lacks acceptable fried chicken outside of fast food, Sweet Chick in Long Island City is a Long Islander’s best bet for good bird. Plan a trip to these and literally hundreds of other Queens food destinations—just give yourself plenty of time to find street parking.

Masala Dosa in Flushing
(All photos sourced from Facebook)
Eater
Goes West Queens cuisine worth the drive BY STEVE MOSCO SmoSco@antonmediagroup.com
F
or decades, food lovers have fawned over the diversity of Queens, Nassau County’s nextdoor New York City borough. Legend has it the urban paradise boasts neighborhoods with ethnic enclaves proudly serving cuisine that is somehow better than what is served in the country of origin. That debate can rage on between world travelers and local food seekers—but what is not up for debate is the sheer quality of the cuisine coming out of Queens. From one neighborhood to the next—actually, from one street to the next—Queens bombards eaters with disparate cultures and nowhere is this more pronounced than in the borough’s food scene. From Mediterranean in Astoria to Chinese in Flushing and lesser-known eats in various neighborhood nooks and crannies, Queens is a food destination that makes leaving Nassau for dinner an easy decision. Just over the Nassau-Queens border is Bayside and its lively main drag, Bell Boulevard. There is plenty to eat on Bell, especially after a long night of getting to know the local bartenders. One look at the menu and it’s clear
there are some beautifully twisted minds running the show at intriguing Bell eatery Krave It (40-15 Bell Blvd.). The pizza side of the menu offers classics, but also goes full insanity with the Mac-Tastic, a white pizza with four-cheese mac n’ cheese; the China King, with General Tso chicken; and intense specialty pies like the Krave It FCW with fried chicken, homemade waffles, sharp cheddar and maple syrup; and the completely crazy Homer Simpson, with meatballs, bacon and glazed cronuts with cheddar and maple syrup. Meanwhile Krave It’s sandwich shop is an entirely different shade of must-try madness, with the Thrilla in Manilla (fried chicken, peach moonshine ghost pepper BBQ sauce, melted jack, avocado and cilantro), the Bubba Junior (steak, cheddar, chipotle sauce, a fried egg and French fries) and Jammin Brisket (Coca-Cola brisket with blue cheese crumbles, jack cheese, caramelized onions and bacon jam). Heading west from Bayside on Northern Boulevard places one squarely in the real Chinatown, Flushing. Choked with bustling pedestrians and suffering from a severe lack of street parking, Flushing’s food culture is well worth the rough commute. Any eater’s first stop must absolutely be White Bear
White Bear’s chili oil dumplings
The real Chinatown is in Flushing. (135-02 Roosevelt Ave.), a no-frills, compact Chinese joint that just so happens to dole out the best spicy wontons on Earth—yes, on Earth. Your instincts might tell you to keep walking when you see the diminutive, slightly dingy, storefront. Instead, ditch any preconceived notions and order the no. 6—pork and minced cabbage wontons with light chili oil and pickled vegetables. These delicate, floppy packages bursting with flavor will flat out make you happy. Make the hassle of getting to Flushing worthwhile by taking a 10-minute walk to Golden Shopping Mall (41-26 Main St.) and heading into the basement. This is cramped, frenetic
20180511_XAL_LNW_PG00 - 1:37 May 7, 2018
Flushing at its best. Descending into the madness of this subterranean eater’s wonderland reveals a world of options unlike anywhere else—there is, among others, Chengdu Heavenly Plenty, with its spicy Sichuan dan dan noodles; Tianjin Dumpling House with its lamb-filled dumplings; Xi’an Famous Foods, with its signature handripped noodles; and Zhu’s Snacks with the indomitable pork-bone soup. Pick a stall—you might find a new favorite or you might blackout from over-stimulation. Either way, you’ll leave with a full stomach. Don’t leave Flushing just yet. Instead, take a quick trip to India via Masala Dosa—one of the city’s best Indian eateries that just so happens to reside in the basement of the Ganesh Temple Society of North America (45-57 Bowne St.). In stark contrast to the temple’s ornate exterior, the downstairs canteen is as nondescript as an eatery can get. The food centers mostly on dosas, gigantic griddle-cooked crepes filled with starchy stuffing and an aromatic array of chutneys on the side. Perhaps it’s the pious setting—or the fact that all menu items are priced under $7—but this is one of the more authentic eating experiences Queens has to offer. Astoria is the next stop, and yes,
