Thank you to my supporters who have written letters and emails, stood outside grocery stores and on ball fields, and offered advice, expertise and wisdom. I am humbled by this moment and could never repay you. “And to the community, thank you for engaging in this process. You also served our schools by becoming informed voters. To those who voted for me, thank you for your trust and to those who didn’t, I hope to earn it. I look forward to the privilege to serve.” Block was born and raised in Port Washington and has three children who currently attend Salem

I am planning on having time where the public can come speak to me about their issues independently and I will make that public via Facebook and other methods.” Smith is a real estate professional with expertise in budgeting, regulation, labor relations and technology and construction.

I want to personally thank Justin Renna for his unwavering support and his continued service to the community coaching youth athletics. Most Importantly, I want to thank everyone in the community who came out and voted, it is so important to encourage civic engagement and to model it for our children. Finally, thank you Port Washington for putting your faith in me, I am ready to get to work.” Johnson, Weisburd and Greenstein will close out their terms on June 30, 2021.

Police Trailblazer Is Memorialized
BY FRANK RIZZO frizzo@antonmediagroup.com
W
illiam J. Willett Jr. (1931-2003) was the Jackie Robinson of the Nassau County Police Department. No, he wasn’t the first black patrolman; there were at least 16 on the force when he was hired in 1953. All had joined since 1946. But he faced personal and professional obstacles that were unique as he rose through the ranks, each promotion making him the first African American in the department to hold that position. Having grown up in an integrated Glen Cove neighborhood where the color of one’s skin wasn’t an issue, Willett discovered prejudice in the Jim Crow South when he joined the Navy in 1949 and was sent to Memphis, TN, for training. After finishing his service, Willett was working at an automobile dealership and unsure of his career path when he decided to take the police entrance exam. He soon began what turned out to be a 49-year career. He was one of the few blacks assigned to patrol white neighborhoods, and felt the lash of racism then. Later, in the turbulent year of 1968, after the assassination of Martin Luther King set black neighborhoods across the nation’s cities ablaze with protests, he had face angry African Americans in his own New Cassel area of Westbury. News reports from that time indicate that Willett managed to win the trust of minority communities who were suspicious of police authority and navigated the delicate balance between representing the community as well as the department. The officer, who spent most of his early years in the Fifth Precinct, was promoted to sergeant in June 1961. Then in succession came detective sergeant, lieutenant (1966), detective lieutenant, captain (1969), detective captain, deputy inspector (1972), inspector 1976), deputy chief

We welcome all to this police department today and it is because of trailblazer Bill Willett that set the groundwork to make it happen today.” Ryder said that at one point he worked directly for Willett, and when called to the commissioner’s office he “was him sitting there humble in his chair, thankful for what he had, thankful for the officers that came in front of [him].” He said that he follows his predecessor’s example in greeting police officers and offering a greeting and a smile and handshake. Ryder presented Flo Willett with Willett’s old shield, No. 1029, which was retired. Sons Blake and Danny helped Flo to the podium, where she said, “I’m so humbled by this dedication.

Prominent Retired Teacher Turns 90
E
steemed retired Farmingdale Kindergarten teacher Dolores Cianciabella recently celebrated her 90th birthday. She was “queen for a day” as her children and grandchildren surprised her with a 40-plus car birthday drive-by in her honor. Cianciabella’s life exemplifies the professional and volunteer spirit. She raised three children while earning a teaching degree at Hofstra University and began her career as a kindergarten teacher at Farmingdale’s Woodward Parkway School. In 1971, she completed an Early Childhood Master’s Degree at Adelphi University. Cianciabella broadened her knowledge by traveling all over the world to learn about education in other countries. In 1980 she began volunteering at Our Lady of Lourdes Church bingo night and has continued for 35 years. From 1982-84, the longtime educator taught pre-K religion class to youngsters so their parents could attend Mass. In 1992, she retired from the Farmingdale School District after teaching classes with 50 children a day (two sessions) for 26 years. Her volunteerism broadened when she joined Farmingdale AARP and worked in a Grandparent Program for Head Start. Cianciabella worked for 10 years with underprivileged children and in 1993, she started volunteering at MidIsland Hospital, which is now called St. Joseph’s. Cianciabella continues to volunteer there every Tuesday, where she works in Community Relations and visits patients to offer comfort. Cianciabella joined the Women’s Club of Farmingdale (WCoF) in 1980 as a Nite-Lite (evening division for

working women). While in Nite-Lites, the General Federation of Women requested clubs to conduct programs stressing reading to children. Cianciabella dived right in and created a reading program at the Farmingdale Library during the summer for 5-6 year olds. She and members of the Women’s Club read one-on-one to the children. From 2004-06, Cianciabella served as Corresponding Secretary in the Women’s Club. Her role took on more responsibility when she offered to help the new president with her duties as needed. As a result, she was elected president in 2006-08. Her goal was to bring in new members and during Cianciabella’s administration, 10 new members joined and became actively involved in all aspects of club activities. Several of them moved on to hold positions on the executive board. During Cianciabella’s administration, the club donated $2,050 to repair and
re-build the fountain in the Farmingdale Village Green. She helped design a Club cookbook, worked on the Village Beautification Committee and served as a one-time Chairman for Art in the Park. Monies raised made it possible for the Women’s Club of Farmingdale to present a $1,000 scholastic award to a Farmingdale art student. With all this volunteer work, Cianciabella still finds time to enjoy bridge, is a member of a book club and writes short stories. She initiated a creative writing group that chronicles family memories into short stories. One of Cianciabella’s stories won first place at the General Federation of Women’s Club of New York State and again at the GFWC National level. In 2016, Cianciabella was honored with the Nassau County “Woman of Distinction” Award. —Submitted by the Women’s Club of Farmingdale

A Rally For Love
N
assau County Legislator Joshua Lafazan commemorated the month of May as Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month by joining hundreds of residents and advocates outside the Syosset LIRR station in support of the Rally for Love, Unity and Action on May 16. “Syosset came together as one and categorically declared that there must be no safe harbor for hatred anywhere in Nassau County,” Lafazan said. “Through their actions, the young people of the Syosset community illustrated how the members of America’s largest, best educated, and

National EMS Week In Glen Cove
ayor Tim Tenke recently stopped by Glen Cove EMS to show appreciation to the department for National EMS week. “We did not get to have an EMS week last year because of the pandemic,” EMS Chief Robert Picoli said. “Now that some of the restrictions have eased up, we are honored to have the mayor, councilmembers and residents show appreciation for our department.” In reflecting on the past year, EMS Supervisor Christopher DeMetropolis said that there was actually a decrease in calls to EMS in 2020 compared to 2019, but that the “severity of the calls was more critical.” DeMetropolis started with the department in 2006, as the single provider EMT advanced for the city. He worked 9-to-5 Monday through Friday. In 2010, the EMS department was expanded,
chauffeurs with CPR and first aid certifications, EMTs and paramedics. “Being able to reflect on ourselves to make sure that we are able to give the best critical care necessary remains our number one priority,” said Picoli. He added that another thing that COVID has taught EMS, with all the devastation and loss witnessed by EMS members, is to start to take better care of themselves. —Submitted by the City of Glen Cove

ong Island can be an extremely vulnerable region to natural disasters, especially hurricanes. June 1 marks the beginning of the Atlantic Hurricane Season, which runs through Nov. 30. Due to the pandemic, in 2020 neighbors were faced with more health and safety concerns than ever. The dangers that came from last year’s destructive storm, Hurricane Isaias were vast, and at the same time there was a shortage of product essentials. With 18 named storms predicted for 2021, it is crucial to be prepared for potential disasters, especially for vulnerable populations including seniors and young children. Recognizing the importance of preparedness, United Way of Long Island, 211 Long Island and PSEG Long Island developed BeReadyLI.org, a comprehensive online resource aimed at helping residents prepare before, during and after disasters. BeReadyLI.org provides families with timely and accurate tips, resources
and information. Included on the site are simple and affordable ways to help families be prepared for natural disasters and other emergencies—this includes packing a supply kit with essentials such as flashlights, batteries and a first aid kit. As an educational tool, parents and caretakers can learn how to involve children in creating a family disaster and evacuation plan; discover what documents are most important to keep flood-and-fire proof; and understand measures to take into consideration when planning emergency safety for seniors and people with disabilities. Other available resources include weather and transportation updates, town and village contact information and access to utility websites. BeReadyLI encourages everyone to take the ‘Pledge to be Prepared’. To take the pledge and learn more on how you can prepare for an emergency, visit www.

Using Books To Breed Brotherhood BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

hen the late Todd Bol created the first Little Free Library in Hudson, WI, back in 2009, little did he know that roughly 90,000 neighborhood book exchanges would be created in 91 countries around the world including Italy, Brazil and Japan. Hicksville is the latest locale to feature this initiative that fosters a love of reading and builds communities via the volunteer swapping of books. Situated at the Parkway Community Church, this small, front-yard book exchange went up on May 7 and can accommodate anywhere from 25 to 30 books at a time. While the paint is barely dry on this weatherproofed, elevated replica schoolhouse, parishioners and neighbors have taken to it already, according to Pastor Ellen Balk. “I couldn’t tell you how many people have used it so far, but I know we’re gaining many books and people are already borrowing,” she said. “For being so new, I think it’s doing pretty well.” Balk and co-pastor/husband Arik Balk were approached about this project by parishioners Kelly Pedone

and Karen Iniguez. “This is an idea Kelly and [Karen] have had for a couple of years, but nothing ever came of it,” Balk remembered. “Kelly approached us in February and said she and Karen would really love to build this and wanted to know if they’d be allowed to do that. Our leadership approved it and it’s been Kelly and Karen the whole time.” Aided by Iniguez’s husband Ivan,
Kelly and Karen spent four weeks building the Little Free Library. Pedone admits the maintenance for it has required very little heavy lifting. “I check the library each week just to make sure there is appropriate books for everyone to enjoy,” she said. “I’ve seen a variety of books being exchanged including fiction, nonfiction, dog training books, Bible stories and cookbooks.” At roughly 100 parishioners strong, the Parkway Community Church, which is a Reformed Church of America (RCA) denomination, has grappled with how to navigate the pandemic. Since last August, this house of worship pivoted from online-only services to meeting in church and sanctuary while observing social distancing and mask mandates. Services were simultaneously streamed for parishioners not comfortable with worshiping in person. Balk feels the Little Free Library is a significant step towards helping parishioners and residents take another step towards some sense of normalcy. “Our Little Free Library doesn’t just belong to us, it belongs to the whole
community,” she said. “It’s our hope that this Little Free Library will bring a little more joy, a little more connection and a whole lot more books to our community.” Visit www.parkwaycommunitychurch.org or call 516-938-1233 to learn more about the Parkway Community Church, which is located at 95 Stewart Ave. in Hicksville.

acArthur’s Kristen Cassidy helped lead the Moravian College women’s tennis team to the 2021 Landmark Conference title and an appearance in the NCAA Division III tennis championships. This is the second conference title and NCAA berth for Cassidy, a senior captain. This year the Moravian Greyhounds defeated Transylvania University (Kentucky) in the first round but lost to defending NCAA champs Wesleyan (Connecticut) in the second round. Over the course of Cassidy’s tenure at the school, Moravian had a 20-1 conference record and was 42-6 overall. Cassidy and doubles partner Brooke Adams earned first-team All Landmark Conference honors. She graduated magna cum laude with a double major—political science and sociology. Cassidy, a 2017 MacArthur graduate, was a captain and three-time AllConference selection for the Generals. Molloy College seems to have a direct line to the MacArthur athletic

Genco, the Generals’ sweeper, was named All County Honorable Mention this past season. Genco was a threeyear varsity starter and captain his senior year. He was also on the MacArthur wrestling and track teams and was a member of the National Honor Society as well as the Business, Math and World Language Honor Societies. Matthew Byrnes, a junior attackman on the Chaminade lacrosse team, has verbally committed to play Division I college lacrosse at Sacred Heart University. Byrnes is a product of the Levittown Tomahawks youth programs and attended Levittown schools until moving on to the Catholic league. Chaminade is 6-1 this season, with the lone loss coming to St. Anthony’s, where Matthew’s father Jim is a long-time coach.

Owner Requests Another Extension For Main Street Building Construction BY ANTHONY MURRAY
“Things happen,” he said. “I know there was a lot of movement and there still is a lot of movement going on down there. I’m willing to take Mr. Puccio at his word this time, that these things were beyond his control. We know that things don’t always go according to plan.” Puccio said that they weren’t changing the overall look of the building or the setback, but are only changing minor things like interior portions of the building. Trustee George Durham asked Puccio if the board gave him an extension to May 1, 2022 if the building would start construction, in which Puccio responded yes. “You have had two bites out of the apple now,” trustee Dennis Walsh said. “I hope that you’re able to go forward with this. I have no problems with it. I thought it was a nice project then, and I still think it’s a nice project.” Mayor Strauss entertained a motion to approve Puccio’s request for another year’s extension to May 1, 2022. “Congratulations,” he said. “Hopefully you get things worked out on your end and get things done downtown.”

hile driving through the village’s downtown, you may still notice a decent sized gap between a row of buildings that line Main Street near the LIRR grade crossing. So what is going on in that area? Back in February of 2019, the village board approved a four-story mixed use building at 86 and 88 Main St. that would have retail space on the first floor with 11 residential apartment units above. The project would involve razing the vacant Buccelli Uomo at 86 Main St. and combining it with the vacant lot at 88 Main St. The building that once stood at 88 Main St. was demolished back in 1974. The new building, which drew some strong opposition from local business owners in the area, would also increase the village’s tax base since it does not have any Industrial Development Agency (IDA) or payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) incentives. But now two years later, there has still been no progress made at all on the project. At a public hearing last month, the owner of the property, Joseph Puccio, who purchased the property back in 2015, requested the village board grant him another one year extension of a special use permit for the construction of the new building. Back in March of 2020 right before COVID-19 hit, Puccio had asked for another extension that would have construction start in March of 2021. “Due to COVID, we had to postpone plans for construction of the building and we are now back to planning the start date for early spring 2022,” Puccio told the board. Mayor Scott Strauss responded to Puccio’s request by stating, “Back in 2019, you came to us and asked us for a special use permit, which we granted. And you were asked then when you were going to start building, and you said three years. Then we told you, you have to come back before us when you are going to actually build. Instead of that, you said at the night of the hearing you were going to build right away. Which one is it? I find it hard to believe that’s the case.” Puccio informed the board that he had every intention of starting construction right away back in 2019, but the coordination between architects and engineers took a year and a half to

design the building. “Once the building was finalized, which was last summer, drawings went out,” he explained. “We actually submitted a set of drawings to the building department. The contractor that we have on board reviewed the drawings and he came back with a very high budget.” After the high budget, the architects and engineers tried to adjust the budget to make it more feasible. “We were in the midst of that last fall,” Puccio said. “In January, I got COVID and I was out for six weeks. I’m still suffering from COVID. I had to put the entire project on pause. We also had issues with financing. The bank last year also paused any new construction loans. So we have resumed discussions with the bank and I have my architect now revisiting the drawings.” Puccio said his intent is to complete the drawings this summer, submit them to the village’s building
department, which will take a few months to review, and then mobilize. “I believe it wouldn’t be able to start until next spring,” he said. “I’m trying to be fair with my answer. I don’t want to give you a false start date.” Deputy Mayor Paul Pereira felt sympathetic to the situation at hand, as long as the requirements the board set back in 2019 were still being followed.

Senior Gives Back To District And Community G
arden City High School senior Lindsey Stevenson combined her personal experiences, creativity and passion for helping others when she set out to pursue her Girl Scouts Gold Award. She achieved her goals of making communication more accessible for children and earning the most prestigious recognition in Girl Scouting. Over the course of many months and a total of 80 hours, Stevenson designed, created and implemented a Communication Station Core Board for Homestead School, where she attended the primary grades many years ago. The board, used as a model for its young viewers, displays 35 visual icons that represent an assortment of needs, actions and emotions. It helps children with complex communication needs use language to communicate and interact with their teachers and peers. The inspiration behind the project goes back to Stevenson’s involvement at the high school. She began participating in the Promoting Acceptance and Inclusion through Recreation in Schools (PAIRS) program, which helps students make friends and feel included, under the guidance of Speech-Language Pathologist Anne Cloghessy. It was then that she realized how difficult communication could be for her peers with

(Contributed photo) disabilities, and began to investigate challenges that younger students face. “Through my research I discovered that [younger] students with disabilities have even less opportunities to communicate with their peers,” Stevenson said. “I wanted to help fix this.” She planned her initiative under the mentorship of Cloghessy. Despite the
pandemic and shutdown last spring, the two remained in consistent contact, speaking multiple times per week and in some cases, each day. She also received support from guidance counselor Jim Malone and his wife Diane, who provided funding for the project through the Jamie & Paige Malone Foundation.
“The impact that Lindsey has made is remarkable,” Cloghessy said. “She wanted to give back to her community.” The district is so impressed with the finished product that plans are in the works to have more boards produced and installed at the other schools. Members of the Administration, faculty and Stevenson’s family, along with her Girl Scouts leader Laura Graney and representatives from the district’s SEPTA organization, came together by the board just outside of Homestead on April 28 to celebrate her success. “Lindsey’s extraordinary project provides even our most complex communicators a way to interact with their friends, peers and teachers,” said Homestead School Principal Dr. Suzanne Viscovich. “Thank you, Lindsey, for giving our students a voice and for being true to our mission and vision of including every child.” “This is a wonderful example of a student who took something on that they learned through our schools, to make us even better,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kusum Sinha. “Lindsey has helped our students and we are going to have this board at all of our buildings.” —Submitted by Garden City Public Schools

Curran Proposes Direct Cash Relief For Homeowners In Nassau N
assau County Executive Laura Curran recently proposed that Nassau County dedicate $100 million to provide direct cash relief to county households. Nassau County’s projected budget surplus of $75 million and incoming federal funding from the American Rescue Plan (ARP) make the announcement possible. Nassau County, which experienced unprecedented negative economic impact from the COVID-19 pandemic, is receiving $385 million from the federal government—$200 million in 2021. Under Curran’s proposed plan, approximately 300,000 homeowners
in Nassau County would receive a payment of roughly $375. “I have heard a resounding message from homeowners across the County that relief is needed. The program I’m proposing would provide direct cash assistance to about 300,000 households. Nassau County has navigated the pandemic without layoffs or cuts to programs that keep our communities healthy and safe. Having achieved a hard-earned budget surplus and with federal money coming in, we must now provide direct relief to homeowners in Nassau County. I am calling on the County Legislature to
support this important program and will work with my Economic Advisory Council to get this done,” Curran said. The Nassau County Homeowner Assistance Program would provide direct relief to County households. Nassau County has seen unprecedented job losses, food insecurity and other negative effects from COVID-19. This program would seek to utilize Basic and Enhanced STAR data in order to determine eligibility. The county’s plan for allocation of ARP funding must be approved by the County Legislature. —Submitted by the office of County Executive Laura Curran

Ah, chocolate milk. How many of you have enjoyed a frosty-cold glass of the brown beverage as an afternoon snack after finishing one’s homework, before getting the chance to play outdoors before dinner? Chocolate milk is synonymous with childhood, good times and blowing clear brown bubbles until they cascaded over the glass and onto the tablecloth. The “blowing bubbles incident of 1971” occurred in the corner of our Levitt Cape, several years before Dad blew out the side of the kitchen and built an extension. My sister and I were bored out of our minds and had retreated to the kitchen for a glass of icecold chocolate milk. Mom left us alone as she headed into her bedroom to complete the task of folding laundry. She admonished us, “Don’t make a mess.” My sister sent me a sidelong glance and blew a solitary bubble into the chocolate milk. My reply was a steady stream of bubbles, which was followed by Mom’s warning: “You girls better not be blowing milk bubbles in there.” We muffled snickers and continued to blow bubbles, albeit slower and quieter. Everything was just fun and games until the bubbles began to flow over the top of the cups. There was a bit of a mess in the center of the vinyl tablecloth, which was easily wiped away with a paper towel. Nobody noticed the flecks of chocolate milk on Dad’s knotty pine paneling, as they camouflaged perfectly with the wood stain.

New York State Proposes Tax On Gas, Heating Products Recently I learned that a bill has been introduced in the New York State Assembly and Senate, that will dramatically increase the tax on gasoline and the tax on products used to heat our homes. The proposed law entitled “The Climate and Community Investment Act” (S4264A/ A6967) will do the following: • Increase the gasoline tax by 55 cents per gallon. The new total tax on gasoline in NYS will be 98 cents, which will be the highest the nation
MAJORITY REPORT Richard J. Nicolello
– 57 percent higher than the next highest state.* • Increase the taxes on natural gas, fuel oil and electricity. The New York Business Council estimates that the tax will raise the price of natural gas by 26 percent. These regressive taxes are expected to generate $15 billion for state coffers. These taxes will also indirectly raise the costs of items such as groceries, clothing, home repair products and other necessary items, as businesses pass along their
increased costs to consumers. The new taxes will hit middle class and working families particularly hard and will place an additional burden on the poor and seniors on a fixed income, some of whom will have to choose between paying for increased heating costs and putting enough food on the table. The taxes will hurt small downtown businesses that support our communities. Coming on the heels of the loss of jobs and business due to the
pandemic, these increased taxes are the worst idea yet coming out of Albany. I have created a petition in opposition to the new tax on gasoline and heating products. Anyone interested in signing it can find it on my website at: www.nassaucountyny.gov/ ld9. Those opposed are also encouraged to contact their state legislators and tell them to vote no on S4264A/ A6967. The writer is the Presiding Officer of the Nassau County Legislature
Heaven With All The Bells And Whistles By now, you might have heard about a new pinball arcade on Long Island. Unlike the video arcades proliferating the landscape in the ’80s, this space is dedicated to the fine art of playing the silver ball. Pinball, you say. Who cares about pinball anymore? Pinball in arcades became as rare as hen’s teeth due to the popularity of video games. Because of their size, they were phased out slowly, while clearing more room for the video games. But even video arcades went the way of the dinosaurs when home video consoles gave kids the option of staying in their basement and saving their money. Other than Nathans and Adventureland, it was hard to find an arcade to bring your kids to. There was nothing like using your kids as an excuse to go to the arcade as an adult. For old-timers like me, nothing compares to a great pinball game. Feeling the flippers, the clanging of the ball off the bumpers and the ability to slightly nudge the machine can’t be duplicated in a video game. When playing pinball, you are part of the game; you

from 1971 (Home Run) to 2020 (Avenger’s Infinity Quest). Did you even know they were still making new pinball games in 2020? The Beatles, Dracula, Evil Knievel (from 1976), and Iron Man are all present. They have movie-themed games, like Jurassic Park, Last Action Hero, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Don’t see your favorite? Add it
to their list for the future. Ah, but what kind of a future does High Score Pinball have? Their location in the mall is temporary (they opened in early April) and will become permanent if enough pinball wizards visit to keep their dream alive. Melissa Cerquin, the owner of High Score Pinball, convinced her boyfriend, Mike Burd, to share his inventory of classic games with us. More than 40 of them were collecting dust in storage but are now available to enjoy, socially distanced in over 3,000 square feet of lights, bells, and nostalgia. Unlike Dave and Buster’s, which uses a ridiculous and confusing “points” system, at High Score Pinball, you don’t need a math degree. You just need to be able to tell time. I tried the 15-minutes (for $7), which was enough for a taste, but the time went by way too quickly. I’d recommend at least 30 minutes ($10) or an hour ($15). If you want complete freedom from time limits, you can play all day for $25. A few classic video games,
like Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man and Galaga, are available to placate the kiddies and millennials. Soon, they hope to open a back area dedicated to home video game platforms, like Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis. If things work out, High Score will begin hosting special events (like adult and children’s birthday parties) and possibly participating in a Long Island Pinball League. Sounds like a better idea for us aging boomers than a bowling league, right? So, while you still have a chance, head out for an early dinner with your friends and make your way to Bay Shore for an evening of pinball. You will not be disappointed. Unless, of course, you continue to bump the machine too hard and get a “Tilt.” You can’t get that on a video game. You think any of your kids know what “Tilt” means? —Paul DiSclafani, a Massapequa resident, is a Press Club of Long Island award-winning columnist (2018, 2020) and an Anton Media Group contributor since 2016.

Temple Beth Torah (TBT), a conservative temple serving the Jewish communities of the Jericho area including Brookville, Old Westbury, Muttontown, and Syosset, announced recently had a double celebration—the holiday of Shavuot and the arrival of its new Rabbi Jack Dermer and his wife Kayley—to the Jericho community. On Shavuot, Jews throughout history have rejoiced in the miracles of Torah learning and delicious desserts. This year, Temple Beth Torah shared the sweetness of this season, and the beginning of a new chapter in its history, with a full schedule of in-person and virtual Shavuot programming led by Rabbi Dermer as well as a unique “Sweet Shavuot Drive-Up Welcome” for congregants. On May 16, during the “Sweet Shavuot Drive-Up Welcome!” Rabbi Dermer and his wife greeted congregants as they drove up in their cars,
before presenting them with individual Kosher cheesecakes to celebrate. Rabbi Dermer commented, “TBT has been a landmark of the Jewish community in Jericho and the surrounding areas for more than 60 years. During this time, it has provided all those who walk into its sanctuary and sacred spaces with uplifting spiritual services and opportunities for social connection. We are proud of our Hebrew school and youth-focused programming that instills a sense of love for our heritage in the hearts of our young adults.” Rabbi Dermer succeeded Rabbi Michael Katz who officially retired on Nov. 30 after leading the Temple for more than 41 years. Since November, Rabbi Dermer has been completing his service to the congregants of The Merrick Jewish Centre where he served as Associate Rabbi before officially assuming the role of Rabbi at Temple Beth Torah earlier this month.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Some people enjoy snakes, and some people are terrified of them. One might deduce that snakes can cause both pleasure and panic. However, neither is true. Snakes cause nothing. It is our mind, not a snake, that triggers pleasure or panic. Apply this principle across the board and fear dissolves.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It doesn’t have to be your mess for you to consider it your job to clean it. Wherever you go, you take on the responsibility to leave it better than it was when you arrived. This is a duty you take as seriously as any you’re paid to do. The difference will appear in your environment as well as in the hearts of others.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Tomorrow never comes because it’s always today. Similarly, a problem can only be solved by the one having it. To anyone who doesn’t see it as a problem, it isn’t. If you see something as a problem, then it’s automatically partly yours to solve. This week the lines of responsibility will blur, shift and change. CANCER (June 22-July 22). A warm embrace is not always the most loving thing to do. To present a cool detachment can be a kind of offering. It sets up a challenge for others -- a space to cross and an invitation to employ inner resources to bridge the gap in their own unique way. Your mindful inconsistencies of behavior will surprise and excite. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Too much busy movement will be counterproductive, as the work that most needs to be done (healing, ideating, energizing) will be accomplished in moments that appear, to the outside observer, idle. Everyone wins when you make sacred your blocks of designated nothing time, even if you must schedule them to do so. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Contentment and ambition both live inside you, but it is not possible to embody both these things at once. You’ll alternate between the modes this week as you decide exactly what you want and at what time you can fall unapologetically and fully into a fiery ambition that will fuel your rapid progress. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Any number of crummy ideas will float to mind like flotsam and jetsam. Recognize garbage for what it is. Filter it away from the good stuff. Thinking an unhelpful thing isn’t so harmful, as long as you don’t start believing it. Question your thoughts. Make them prove themselves and earn their place in your head.
Airport Applause Beauty Black tie Blue Boat Bridge Busy Calm Comedy Crowded
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re aware of a feeling coming over you, or through you, and you’re also aware that you are not the feeling and the feeling is not you. Because you don’t overly identify with emotions, thus confusing who you are with how you feel, you’ll know the rock-solid core inside of you -- a touchstone of calm constancy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). While a sense of belonging brings comfort, comfort is low on your list of priorities and way below things like principles and goal-getting. If you had to choose, you’d rather forward the interests you are passionate about than do all it takes to fit in with a group that doesn’t share your values.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When the group is hopeful, you’ll think about what could go wrong and ask the questions that will help everyone prepare to be confident in a variety of scenarios. This isn’t pessimism; rather, it’s for the sake of balance. When the group is pessimistic, you’ll balance by being hopeful and buoying all.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The quest for beauty is always worthwhile no matter what you find. Even if you come up empty-handed, the journey attunes you to witness wonders when they happen to come along. The more attuned you get, the more wonders you witness until you start to realize that it’s the ability to see beauty that is the real quest.
THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS
There is a sturdiness at work in your sector of relationships. Much grows in your world secured through the connection of family, the bonds of friendship and the loose ties of community, though it is the mortar of love that holds together the most impressive structures. These become high turrets from which romantic views and rare perspectives will be often observed. You’ll play the role of mentor. You’ll be given property and charged with its maintenance, too.
