THE CORONAVIRUS - A WORLD IN A CRISIS

Car Parades Create Special Moments For Children

he cars lined up on the streets of Lindenhurst. Hundreds of people pulled into a desolate Lindenhurst High School parking lot, with social distancing in full effect. The sun was shining bright on Saturday, April 25, as a special parade was set to begin. This was not your normal parade, either. Jax’s battle against leukemia is nearing completion. On Saturday morning, the six year old went through his last round of chemotherapy treatment. It’s time to celebrate. Seventeen minutes. Nonstop. All of the cars, motorcycles and firetrucks Jax could imagine. It was a dream come true. For three and a half years, Jax was fighting for his life. As his mother, Melissa, wrote on Instagram, “I started that countdown at 1,184 days and looked at it everyday, thinking how are we gonna do this? But you were brave far beyond your years.” It’s the creation of moments like this that inspired Mike LaRocca of Copiague Harbor to create Strong Island Car Parades 4 Kids. This group of volunteers are bringing parties and celebrations to the front yards of children stuck at home and unable to celebrate key life moments like Jax and many others. “He had no clue,” LaRocca said. “He thought he was going to have a small family get together with his close family. Next thing you know, there’s a whole parade.” Strong Island Car Parades 4 Kids started in late March when LaRocca’s friend asked him to come by for his son’s birthday. Next thing he knew, there were 150 cars circling around the block. It turns out this was the child’s fifth year of being cancer free. LaRocca’s custom-made bright green 2016 Dodge Viper, which he designed with Dodge and the SRT crew, often heads the parades. It has plenty of options, and it’s the perfect way to get these parades going. “We had fire trucks, garbage trucks, FedEx trucks, racecars, you name it and they showed up,” he said. “I had about 15 to 20 messages in my inbox asking how does it work and how they can get one [a parade].” From there, LaRocca started a Facebook group and Instagram page, @ sicp4k. The Instagram page has several hundred followers, but the greatest impact has been on Facebook. The Strong Island Car Parades 4 Kids Facebook

group has more than 4,000 members already, with people from across Long Island, Westchester, Brooklyn and even New Jersey asking strangers to come together for special moments. “It is something that’s controllable when there’s nothing right now that’s controllable,” LaRocca said. “When you see the kids’ faces, it might seem like it’s just us driving up a block. But to them, it’s the world. They lose it.” Currently, the volunteers are doing about 10 parades a day, exceeding the 300 mark overall last week. Dozens of cars have been coming together to make sure these kids don’t celebrate their birthdays or other milestones by themselves. “It’s reassuring to know that people are good,” LaRocca said. “There’s one guy who drives from Port Jeff Station almost every day to drive around for kids. People love it. They don’t ask for anything.” The group, thanks to plenty of donations across the island, has been giving gifts to all of the kids who they are visiting, all while remaining socially distant. The smiles on the kids’ face is worth it. “Whether it’s a cancer survivor, a birthday or even someone who’s out of work, we have kids getting 10 to 12 gifts,” he said. While Strong Island Car Parades 4 Kids won’t last forever, the goal is to make kids smile until things return to normal. While the coronavirus pandemic has limited social gatherings, this is one group of strangers who are coming together to make sure there is some positivity in the world. “It’s sad that the life span is limited, but there’s a whole lot of good people and good friends that are coming out of it,” LaRocca said. For those who are interested in having a car parade organized for their children, message LaRocca and the rest of Strong Island Car Parades 4 Kids’ volunteers on Instagram. Visit www.facebook.com/ groups/sicp4k to join the group and comment the date you want the parade to pass by your house. The only thing you need to do is put the child’s name, address and if there’s a specific reason to have the parade, write it down. And yes, Strong Island Car Parades 4 Kids will even come on down for your wedding. Do you have a story you want to tell? Share it with me at jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com

216014 M

fficials from the New York State Board of Elections (BOE) have announced that the state’s upcoming Democratic presidential primary, previously scheduled to take place on June 23, was canceled on April 27. The board’s resolution, which passed with a 2-0 vote from its two Democratic commissioners, cited a provision in state election law that says the board may remove a candidate from the ballot if they announce they are suspending their campaign. Since all candidates who filed with the state to have their names appear on the state’s primary ballot have suspended their campaigns except for Joe Biden, the BOE concluded holding an election would be a needless formality. The BOE is given sole jurisdiction over the matter. “With the public health emergency that exists now [an election] seems to be unnecessary and indeed frivolous,” BOE co-chair Douglas Kellner said before the vote was taken. “It’s time for us to recognize that the presidential contest is over.” The cancelation of the primary provoked backlash from supporters of U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, who, though he announced he would suspend his presidential campaign, intended to remain on the ballot for primaries in the hope any delegates he accumulated could help sway the policy positions of presumptive presidential nominee Biden. Sanders’ senior campaign adviser Jeff Weaver called the move “a blow to American democracy” in a statement the

campaign released that called for the state to be stripped of its delegates at the upcoming Democratic National Convention. “Today’s decision by the State of New York Board of Elections is an outrage,” Weaver wrote. “Just last week Vice President Biden warned the American people that President Trump could use the current crisis as an excuse to postpone the November election. Well, now he has a precedent thanks to New York state.” Kellner said the outrage from Sanders supporters is understandable, but that canceling the primary was entirely within the rights of the BOE after the Senator suspended his campaign. “I certainly understand why so many people want to continue the presidential primary,” Kellner said. “But the statute specifically says that if the candidate has announced that they’re suspending their campaign they can be removed from the ballot. What Sanders supporters want is essentially a beauty contest.” The cancelation has also prompted former presidential candidate Andrew Yang to sue the BOE with his presumptive state primary delegates. BOE commissioner Andrew Spano acknowledged that New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo had just days ago signed an executive order permitting mail-in ballots to be sent to every New Yorker before the vote. Still, Spano said he voted to cancel the primary to protect election workers who would have still been at risk. Do you have a story you want to tell? Share it with me at madams@antonmediagroup.com

Students Fight Back Against Anti-Asian Discrimination BY JOSEPH WOLKIN

jwolkin@antonmediagroup.com

group of teenagers are joining the fight to combat xenophobia on Long Island as well. Syosset High School junior Brian Gao and Roslyn High School senior Arin Siriamonthep created a social media initiative called Asians Speak Up aimed at sharing stories of hate against Asian American students. “We’ve been thinking about this idea for a while,” Gao said. “Throughout history, xenophobia and attacks against Asians have been frequent. We have all this time on our hands and we want to make a change.” The pair’s effort started on March 29, and has since told the stories of more than a dozen teenagers on Long Island who have experienced xenophobia. Thus far, the stories have been focused on the struggles these individuals have faced and how their heritage inspires them. Asians Speak Up aims to continue telling these stories long after the coronavirus pandemic is over. Xenophobia is not going away, and they want to show the bold responses of those who have been attacked,

either verbally or physically. “We’ve gotten a lot of stories,” Siriamonthep said. “It’s only been a month, but we have stories from Massachusetts and Florida. The fact that it’s getting to other states means that we’re on the right track. The reaction so far has been pretty good.” Gao said that just before the shutdown, as talks of the coronavirus’ spread began, he visited Roosevelt Field in Garden City. He was walking around the perimeter of the mall when the unthinkable happened. “I would be outside with my friends and a car full of people would pass by and call me something,” Gao said. Siriamonthep believes that the rise in racist attacks against Asian people is typically surprising on Long Island due to the large Asian demographic. The U.S. Census Bureau reported in 2017-18 that the number of Asian Americans on Long Island increased to approximately 140,000. “If it’s happening here, that means it’s even worse in areas with a smaller percentage of Asian people,” Siriamonthep said. “The problem is probably worse in other areas.” Siriamonthep’s suspicions seem to be confirmed by nationwide statistics

first made headlines. Over the past month, the nonprofit Asian Pacific Policy and Planning Council has received more than 1,500 reports of verbal harassment, shunning and physical assaults from Asian Americans across the U.S. Locally, even before the shutdown orders came in on Long Island many Chinese American business owners in communities like Great Neck reported huge decreases in customers that exceeded their counterparts of different ethnic backgrounds.

Operation PPE Mineola

Residents step up to help frontline workers BY ANTHONY MURRAY

amurray@antonmediagroup.com

ne month ago, Miriam Shelvin, a school nurse at Plainedge High School with 28 years of experience in maternal child nursing, posted a request online for help to make masks for local nurses who live and work around the community. Soon after, Operation PPE Mineola was born. “I am a nurse and have friends working the front lines,” Shelvin said. “I started hearing from them they were running out of PPE and were being told they may have to use things like bandannas. I am a Mineola resident for 25 years and my children were very involved in the drama program at Mineola Middle School and high school. We have a group of parent volunteers there that sew and help make costumes and set design for the play. I reached out to my fellow “drama mamams” to see if we could

begin to make masks for our local moms who work in hospitals.” Thus far, 3,335 pieces of PPE have been sent to facilities and hospitals across the island, Queens and the rest of New York City. Out of those 3,335 pieces of PPE were 1,661 masks, 257 face shields, 987 headbands, 186 head covers and 247 ear savers. “I am so proud that a community like Mineola, while small was able to make so many pieces of PPE to donate to so many hospitals and healthcare centers,” Shelvin explained. “I never expected to be as big as it has become or to get the support that we have received. To have 100 active volunteers and donors is amazing.” If people want to donate materials and money to Operation PPE Mineola, the group has a Facebook page group titled Operation PPE Mineola that people can contact them. The group also responds to all inquiries on the Mineola Moms and

Dads Facebook page. The Bee Happy Foundation, a 401C group, with donors from as far as Illinois, also contributed funds and materials. Coupled with the countless donations from the local community, both material and monetary, Operation PPE Mineola enlisted non-sewing volunteers to cut and prep components. “None of this would have been posThe members of Operation Mineola PPE. sible if it wasn’t for all of these people,” (Contributed photo) Shelvin said. “I just had an idea, Terry and Frank had the vision, Linda, Cina Mineola, the group now has more and Nancy helped organize, but the than 150 members on Facebook, community is what made this possi100 active volunteers and scores of ble.

Port Nonprofit Addresses Emergency Needs Of Residents BY CAROLINE RYAN

cryan@antonmediagroup.com

he Community Chest of Port Washington, a nonprofit organization, recently created the Port Washington COVID-19 community response fund to help provide essential services to residents amid the coronavirus pandemic. The fund will be used to make COVID-19 emergency grants for food needs, housing costs and other expenses to existing community and faith-based organizations (CFBO) that have experience in supporting local families during difficult situations. The Community Chest set up a GoFundMe for residents to donate to the cause. At the time of publication, the nonprofit raised more than $250,000 of its $500,000 goal. “At the heart of every community are community and faith-based organizations working alongside the school district, public library and local government,” Drew Hershkowitz, Community Chest president said. “The Community Chest is pleased to be partnering with a broad group of community leaders, many of whom

have strong experience supporting local families in need, particularly those that are hit hardest by this crisis. Many jobs are in flux, local businesses are shuttered, anxiety is high, and the enormous needs of Port Washington residents will likely continue for many months to come. We appreciate the community’s tremendous support and are not surprised to see Port’s humanitarian values shining bright.”

Port Gives Back

The Community Chest also launched the PW Mask Brigade. The brigade, comprised of 33 volunteers have been sewing face masks for Port’s at-risk families. Since the project began, volunteers have sewed more than 1,000 washable fabric face masks. After the masks are created, Spectrum Suds, a program of Spectrum Designs Foundation, will wash the three-layer fabric face masks to make sure they are properly sanitized before they are distributed. “People are putting in hundreds of hours to help their neighbors inneed,” Julie Meer, executive director of the Community Chest, said. “I’d

especially like to thank Betsy Liegey, who coordinated this whole project, Tracy Lefkowitz, our technical guru, and www.MichelleShain.net, our logo designer.” To join the PW Mask Brigade, contact the Community Chest at 516767-2121 or email info@portchest.org.

Help For Senior Citizens

Additionally, the Community Chest is also offering a free shopping and no-contact delivery service called Helping Hands for Seniors. The program has currently been helping about 25 home-bound seniors who are unable to get food, medication or other essentials during this time. Those unable to procure food, medication or other essentials should contact the Helping Hands program at 516-767-2121 or email info@ portchest.org. The Town of North Hempstead’s Project Independence program has also been helping seniors during this time. All senior citizens above the age of 60 who register with Project Independence will be assigned a case worker who can assist them

ith health care workers rightfully front and center during the current pandemic, local small business owner Catherine Camisa wanted to do something to show her appreciation for the risks they’ve been taking day in and day out. The owner of Massapequa’s Mom’s Ceramics Studio, a full-service old-time greenware ceramic studio, Camisa has started up the Angels Wear Scrubs Project, which sends ceramic angels out to hospitals free of charge. With the mother of five’s shop closed down in accordance with Governor Andrew Cuomo’s mandate that all non-essential businesses remain shuttered, the Massapequa Park resident was sitting around with her friend Donna Sgambati at the shop talking about the latter’s daughter, who works at South Nassau Hospital. “Donna has a daughter who is a speech pathologist at South Nassau Hospital who is usually working with her speech therapy patients,” Camisa said. “But since this whole thing started with COVID-19, they put her in the emergency room. We were talking about how hard Nicole is working, how she’s being exposed to this virus and how crazy all of this is. I really wanted to make something for her and her crew that are working in the emergency room to let them know we really appreciate them. I so feel terrible that they’re basically putting their lives on the line for us.” Camisa had one mold and decided to make these cherubs with the notion that not all angels wear wings, some wear scrubs. Deciding to make 100 angels for all the staff on the night and day shifts over at South Nassau, going with a mold that only allowed her to make three statuettes at a time meant she was going to have to acquire more molds given that she’d only be able to create six to nine angels a day. “I called the mold company that I use and explained that I was going to do this and would like to order three more molds and wanted to get them as fast as possible,” she recalled. “I didn’t mind paying for the extra shipping because it was important to me get these things done fast and out to them as soon as possible. Once I told the mold company what I was going to do, they not only overnighted them to me, but they gave them to me for free, which was amazing. I was crying, they were crying, we were all crying. Then they got here, we made them and

As an alumnus of Manhattan’s High School of Art and Design (“I was always that nerdy kid that did art instead of hanging out”), ceramics was a first love for Camisa. Her son’s strategy worked and while the business moved to its current Massapequa location after getting its start in East Meadow, Camisa has been happily leading ceramics-making classes, putting together kids party packages and hosting other fund-raising events.

COSMETIC SURGERY TODAY BY STEPHEN T. GREENBERG, MD, FACS

Spring Is The Perfect Time To Make Plans To Reveal The Body You’ve Always Wanted. Spring is here and time to start to plan for shorts and halters and of course bathing suit season is right around the corner. Now is the time to consider that cosmetic surgery procedure that will have you looking your best when summer arrives. Many of my patients tell me that they are anxious to improve their look and unveil a new body in time for Memorial Day. There are many procedures available to meet each person’s unique considerations and desires. Individualized evaluation and assessment will determine which procedures would provide the most improvement. Whether opting for breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, liposuction or a combination of the above, the result should be a beautiful and natural look. This is especially true for women who have had children and would like to turn back the hands of time and have their pre-pregnancy figure back. The tremendous growth in popularity of the Mommy Make-Over Package provides ongoing assurance that women seeing the effects of pregnancy are especially interested in taking action to improve their look. In particular, the input that I have received from new mothers concerned about the physical changes that resulted from pregnancy, has encouraged me to specifically address their

needs and concerns. More and more women are having children later in life and their bodies do not bounce back they way they did when they were younger, or after their first pregnancy. Although diet and exercise are essential, areas such as the lower abdomen where the skin has been stretched and the skin collapses may never return to “normal”. A tummy tuck tightens the abdominal muscle and the skin of both the lower and upper abdomen. The effects on breasts are no less dramatic. This can be improved with breast implants, a breast lift and sometimes a combination of both. Lastly, Coolsculpt gets rid of excess fat quickly, efficiently, and with little pain. Although liposuction can be used for the reduction of fat in the abdomen, it is also very effective on areas such as the hips, thighs and knees.

I quickly realized that if I went to bed at a normal hour, I could wake up in the morning and accomplish so much in a typical day. The hours typically spent at school are now used productively and I still have plenty of time for relaxation and rediscovery (and Tiger King). Amazingly, I have become more productive as a result of the crisis. When I start to feel down, I try to focus on turning lemons into lemonade. The concepts of rediscovering, connecting and accomplishing are playing an important role in my life right now. I am hopeful that when we make it to the other side of this crisis (and we will make it to the other side), that I will be able to take the lessons that I have learned and challenge myself to put them to use in my new “normal” life.

Guidance Center Responds To Coronavirus Crisis As the Coronavirus pandemic has come to dominate a good deal of our daily lives, are we, as Dr. Suzan Song suggests in U.S. News and World Report, “on the brink of a mental health pandemic that our current system is not equipped to handle?” Recent polling by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that almost half of U.S. adults said the pandemic has affected their mental health, while more than half believed that they would be exposed to COVID-19 because they could not afford to stay at home financially. At North Shore Child and Family Guidance Center, where we work with children, teens and their families, we’ve made the transition from face-to-face office, home and school-based visits to remote video conferencing sessions. Although we didn’t formally poll the families we work with, judging by feedback from our therapists, the mental health impacts of COVID-19 are pervasive. Most of the children we see haven’t come to us because of COVID-19 fears, although we are starting to get referrals specifically related to the pandemic. Nevertheless, everyone we see is impacted by it. The problems that they came to us for in the first place—most often depression and anxiety—are exacerbated by the fear and uncertainty that the coronavirus brings. Many of our recent referrals come to us from urgent care or as the result of hospital discharges. Along with depression and anxiety, some are also experiencing panic attacks, crying spells, passive suicidal thoughts and urges to self-harm. As one of our therapists reported: “Using Zoom video conferencing sessions to navigate family therapy has given me the opportunity to remain connected with the family while working with them virtually to discuss ways they can practice and implement better communication skills. Zoom sessions have also allowed me to work with my client individually to review and practice coping skills she can utilize when experiencing low moods.” The challenges brought on by the pandemic are significant. Kids don’t know when they will return to school and, for many, when their moms and dads will return to work. Being in close quarters with their family 24/7 can feel like a pressure cooker, particularly when the stress of isolation from friends, economic worries at home and terror about the

possibility of a loved one becoming ill and dying are constantly at play. It’s fairly common knowledge that as many as one in five Americans experiences some form of mental illness, and the pandemic has greatly escalated their symptoms. As Dr. Song stated, “In my psychiatry practice, some of my college-aged patients who were previously able to manage their depression and anxiety are crippled in paralyzing fear of going outside, or depressed about the loss of their year and uncertain of their future.” The Guidance Center’s seamless transition from in-person to virtual practice has made a significant difference for our families. When all feels like it is being lost with the limits that the shutdown has exacted, being able to maintain the routine of mental health counseling was a great relief. Parents have expressed gratitude for the continuity and for knowing that we have not abandoned them. The nation’s mental health is declining due to the pandemic, the number of mental health professionals accepting insurance—and particularly psychiatrists—remains low due to the substandard rates of reimbursement that health insurers pay. Federal mental health parity law demands universal access to care, yet health insurers rarely comply by providing adequate networks of providers, and government does not adequately enforce this law. During this uncertain time, now more than ever we need to ensure universal access to care in order to flatten the mental health curve for our children and families. Andrew Malekoff is the executive director of North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center, the leading children’s mental health agency on Long Island. The Guidance Center is seeing new and existing clients via telephone and video during the COVID-19 crisis. To make an appointment, call (516) 626-1971.

Go For Broke Comedienne Natasha Leggero talks new CBS sitcom

hey say that family is forever and in CBSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new sitcom Broke, family is all they really have despite all of their differences. Broke follows Jackie, a single mother, who takes in her estranged sister

Elizabeth, her millionaire husband Javier and their assistant Luis after Javier loses all of his trust fund after his father cuts him off. Even though class differences may separate Jackie and Elizabeth, and the size

of the house and the number of people living in it will test the limits of family ties, the familiar bond of sisterhood might be the only catalyst they need to restore their relationship.

Rich Comedy Natasha Leggero is the perfect fit for new CBS comedy role BY ANTHONY MURRAY

amurray@antonmediagroup.com

Natasha Leggero (Photo courtesy of Cliff Lipson/CBS)

omedienne, actress and writer Natasha Leggero always knew that there was something more waiting for her beyond the limits of her city while growing up in Rockford, IL. When she traveled to sunny Los Angeles to try her hand at acting, Leggero stumbled into the comedy world by chance. Now, it’s safe to say that she has made her mark in a mostly male dominated profession. “I never really thought about it and I think for me it was one of those things that just kind of found me,” Leggero said about becoming a comedienne. “I saw someone I knew do it, so I had just moved to LA from New York and I didn’t really realize that it could be a young woman who talks about what they think. I always thought you had to be like Rodney Dangerfield or something or have a tagline and be like a man in a suit. I really didn’t know about female comedians, so I just happened to try it and it just went really well. After that I was like, ‘I have to keep doing this.’” Leggero has already had a lucrative career as a comedienne appearing in numerous films and sitcoms as well as having her own Netflix special with fellow comedian Moshe Kasher, who also just happens to be her husband. So who inspires Leggero comically? “There are so many people who inspire me and I have so many friends who are comedians,” Leggero said. “I’ve been watching a lot of new specials that

are out and I like Sarah Silverman, Tig Notaro, Bonnie McFarlane and Chelsea Peretti. Basically all of my friends are comedians, so I feel pretty lucky in that sense.” Fans of Leggero can now see her on CBS’ new sitcom Broke. The sitcom takes place in Reseda, CA, and follows single suburban mother Jackie (portrayed by NCIS’ Pauley Perrette) who’s shocked when her estranged sister, Elizabeth (Leggero), her sister’s outrageously wealthy, big-hearted, Latin husband Javier (portrayed by Jaime Camil), and Javier’s fiercely loyal assistant/driver/friend (portrayed by Izzy Diaz) land on her doorstep in need of a place to live after the couple’s money dries up. Even though class differences may separate the women, the familiar bond of sisterhood might be the catalyst they both need to restore their relationship. Before getting the part of Elizabeth, Leggero said she had to audition many times and feels lucky to be a part of the cast since the role of Elizabeth felt like it was written to her strengths as an actor. “I would say she’s very much like my stage persona in a way,” Leggero said about her character. “She’s very glamorous, actually glamorous beyond her means. She was born in Reseda, but she always knew that there was more out there for her, so she got married as soon as she could. She married a guy from Mexico, who was a millionaire where they actually did fall in love, and they’ve just been living it up the past decade. Now, that the money has been cut off we basically have to go back home to Reseda and live with her family. I’m sure there’s a lot of people doing that now with the coronavirus.” So what can viewers expect to see this season? “Obviously it’s been quite an adjustment with everyone living with each other, but we do find a way to make it

It’s not even if you want a career in the creative arts, just even for your own mental well-being and relief. The arts are so powerful and it helps express yourself. There’s a group called LACER that I’ve also been working with and they’re specific to Los Angeles, but I do think helping the kids and the environment are important.” So what does Leggero have planned Jackie and Elizabeth navigate their sisterly bond Pauley Perrette and Natasha Leggero (Photo by Cliff Lipson/CBS) (Photo by Ron P.

he spread of the coronavirus has been devastating for people from all walks of life, but its impact on seniors has been especially pronounced. From being at a higher risk of developing serious complications from COVID-19 to facing restrictions on visits from loved ones in facilities like nursing homes, where cases have surged, this is a tremendously difficult time for seniors. For seniors with dementia and their caregivers, these new anxieties can be particularly daunting. Fortunately, the pandemic is not keeping them from vital resources like the Long Island Alzheimer’s and Dementia Center (LIAD), largely thanks to innovation and collaboration within the senior health care community. Dana Castoria, LIAD’s engagement and marketing manager, discussed how the organization is making changes to continue to meet the unique needs of dementia patients, even while their doors are closed. “We have collaborated with the Nassau County Office for the Aging, as well as Long Island residential facilities, home care agencies and marketing businesses to provide supplies, support and virtual programs to struggling seniors that are unable to

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Your cosmic birthday gift is a clarity like none you’ve experienced before. This is born of health and perpetuates health as well. You’ll figure out how to lead yourself to an achievement you’ve longed for. Realizing the addictive nature of emotions, you’ll use their attractive power in your favor, deciding what feeling you want to radiate and getting yourself “hooked” on that emotion to the point that you’re able to create it everywhere you go, enacting it in numerous areas of your life.

WORD FIND

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are wired for growth. This is why you get bored sometimes. Boredom is not a sign of a weak mind, as some believe. Rather, it’s a signal for change and challenge. Following this signal elevates you this week. It has you seeking the attainment of skills and knowledge, the thrill of interpersonal closeness and more. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Someone else has already walked this path and all you have to do is put your foot in the imprints. There will come a time when you’ll need to blaze the trail. But to do so now, when the way is clearly worn, would be a waste. Your week goes so much better when you follow your hero and save the innovations for later. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). This week brings relief. With the pressure off, you regain a sense of control followed by a reassessment -- a new way of thinking about yourself. You’ll decide to change a few things and prioritize differently. You’ll find that you may care about different things -- or about the same things but in different amounts. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Stress, money and relationships are all knotted together in one ball that would be impossible to untangle. So you may as well bounce the ball off a balcony or toss it to a pet. In other words, let it go. Accept that these things are tricky, and sometimes the only way to win is to not play the game. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). We don’t constantly think about what our values are, and yet they are always present in our behavior. One of the great surprises of the week will be your own reaction to things. Whether this surprise is pleasant or unpleasant, it will be a cause to pause, reassess and reorder priorities and get set up for success. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). So, what is it you want to master? Remembering this, you’ll be well on your way: Once you get used to doing a thing, it warms your muscles up to the task, which becomes easier and easier to execute. You know this, but sometimes you forget that after the initial discomfort, the process will start to feel good to you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your need for harmony goes deep. Even when you are striving for seemingly unrelated things like respect, justice and social position, the underlying goal is to get what you need in order to live peaceably and exchange equitably with those around you. What’s good in the moment will build bonds and prevent regret. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Diversity is strength. It’s true for everything from financial portfolios to city populations, companies, gardens, gene pools and even your own identity. You’re one person, not one identity. You can derive self-esteem from a number of roles including familial, community, social, philanthropic, romantic and more. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are cues in your environment to behave in certain ways, some of which are preferred, others not so much. Instead of punishing yourself for a behavior, change the cues. Observe how things are laid out to make it easy or difficult to succeed. Celebrate and reinforce the good, shuffle and fix the bad. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The one thing that makes it easier to achieve goals is to achieve goals. The goal matters little -- it could be the silliest thing -- what does matter is that you do what you say you’ll do. There will be nothing stopping you. It’s a productive week because you decide it will be. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Relating to others isn’t a logical process. In fact, it’s mostly completely irrational. Each person has unique criteria for deciding whom to know, like and trust. Those rules are arbitrary, genetic and contextual. It would be pointless to try to be likable to all. By being likable to you, you have a running head start. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your history has shaped you, and profoundly so. You will be surprised when life shows you the great extent to which the past is still with you, even as you feel like you’re reacting to the present. It’s a wonderful discovery, as it allows for awareness than most never come to. You can overcome anything you set your mind to.

Unfortunately, neither one made the 53-man roster. Carlock went on to sign with the Miami Dolphins after the season before getting cut again in April, while O’Hagan played in the XFL for the DC Defenders before the league was shut down. Riley will attempt to follow a similar path to that of offensive tackle Ethan Greenidge. The Flanders native spent the entire 2019 season on the New Orleans Saints roster. The Eagles added Riley as one of 12 undrafted free agent signings they made that day, including three other defensive backs that he will be competing with for a roster spot. An added wrinkle to this
