Standing By Her Man

County Executive: Police Commissioner job is safe

BY FRANK RIZZO AND ANTHONY MURRAY

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

O

n June 18, presiding over the swearing-in of 161 new police recruits—including his son Liam—Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder tearfully proclaimed that he would not be resigning after what he told reporters was a rough couple of weeks. Ryder’s comments to Newsday last month blaming broken families on the paucity of minority representation in the force drew calls for his resignation from civil rights groups and even police fraternal organizations.

However, the only person who could remove him—County Executive Laura Curran—stood firmly against the demands for his firing, even as Ryder’s critics pointedly called for putting pressure on her in this election year.

“I have full confidence in Commissioner Ryder’s leadership of the police department, and he will be staying in his position,” Curran said in a statement released June 21.

“Commissioner Ryder has championed the community policing model now being embraced nationwide as part of reform efforts. We will continue to focus on keeping Nassau safe while moving forward with police reform that builds trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve, including implementation of body cameras by the end of the year and a new committee to help diversify the department.”

On that same day, hundreds of people showed up in front of the

At the rally, which was surrounded by a heavy police presence, people took turns at the podium stating why they want Ryder to stay where he is.

In an interview with Anton Media Group last month, Ryder admitted that despite heavy recruitment, it was difficult to hire minorities. He noted that in a recent police exam, only half of minority applicants had shown up. Though they make up 17.5 percent and 11.3 percent respectively of the county population,

Superintendent Jason R. Marra Wins NYSRP Award

BY MICHELE SIEGEL

greatneckrecord@antonnews.com

T

his past year has been a challenge, to say the least. And although we all face adversity every now and then, for Great Neck Park District Superintendent, Jason R. Marra, the pandemic added an extra obstacle which he didn’t let get in his way. Instead, he found a system to navigate around the roadblocks and used it as an opportunity to give back to his profession, as well as encouraging and educating others to do the same.

Not many people know that Marra has been involved in the New York State Recreation and Park Society throughout his career. The New York State Recreation and Park Society, founded in 1940, is the principal organization for promoting quality recreation and park opportunities for all citizens of NYS through education, training, technical assistance and other support to local, county, state and federal recreation and park providers. Marra currently serves on the Executive Board of NYSRPS as Vice President of Professional

Development (two year term thru ’22).

Previously, Marra served as a Region 1 Representative for Hudson Valley, Long Island, Metro and Westchester.

His commitment doesn’t end there

as he is also involved as a member of the Communication and Public Awareness Committee and this year, he spearheaded the Conference Committee for the first virtual State Conference in 2021, which was a complete success. Working alongside Jason during the conference were Great Neck Park District staff including Assistant Superintendent Anthony DiDomenico, IT Director Mitchell Cohen and Recreation Aide Robert Campbell.

During the virtual conference, Marra was awarded the Robert A. Miner Award 2021. The criteria for the award includes being a member of any section of NYSRPS; an individual who is actively involved in the Society and in activities related to the field of leisure services; an individual who has unselfishly contributed time, expertise, and effort to further the principles and goals of the field of leisure services. He was nominated by his peers and the awards committee determined the winner.

“Jason is a quintessential “Good Guy” for the State Society, stepping up to serve in a multitude of ways,” Lisa I.

Morahan, New York State Recreation and Park Society Executive Director said. “He not only extends himself as VP of Professional Development on our Executive Board, but he is actively engaged with our committees, as well. He was a key point person for the NYSRPS 2021 Annual Conference.

Thanks to Jason and his team at the Great Neck Park District we were able to offer an incredible virtual experience to participants across New York State and beyond. Jason is appreciated by his peers and respected by his staff always giving 100 percent to all he does, meeting needs and exceeding expectations. We are truly honored to have such a dedicated “Good Guy” as a member of NYSRPS.” Kudos to Great Neck Park District Superintendent, Jason R. Marra and congratulations for receiving this well-deserved award. A big thank you from the Great Neck Park District Board and staff to Superintendent Marra for his dedication and hard work. We are lucky to have him on our team.

Empathy Walk Unites Asian American And Jewish Teens To Promote Solidarity Local teens put the words “hate has no home here” into action at the Sid Jacobson JCC’s Center for Community Engagement’s first Empathy Walk, a social justice and leadership program.

The walk brought together 30 teens from local high school Asian American Culture clubs and Jewish teens from SJJCC’s Teen Services programs to create an action step against the recent increase in acts of bias, hate and intolerance. Assemblywoman Gina Sillitti partnered with the JCC on the program and attended, walking in solidarity with the local teens.

“I’m so incredibly proud of the students that participated in our pilot Empathy Walk,” Assemblywoman Sillitti said. “These young people took time to learn about each other’s cultures, biases, and experiences. We hope that through this program, we can learn that we are more alike than we are different, and start to put an end to the

hate, bias, and violence in our nation.”

Participants were paired together on the walk and given a list of questions to ask their partner while embarking on a scavenger hunt to locate hidden shoe boxes along the route. Inside each shoebox was one shoe and several props for the groups to discuss.

The goal was to try to uncover the

story of the person. At the end of the discussion, leaders revealed the other shoe and the story. Each story touched on relevant issues including issues of anti-Semitism, Asian hate, race, gender and LGBTQ bias and mental illness.

At the end of the exercise, participants learned about unconscious bias and judgment and were more comfortable

sharing their own stories and experiences.

“The goal of our Empathy Walk is to create a safe space for young leaders to listen and learn from one another,” Susan Berman, Director of the Center for Community Engagement, Sid Jacobson JCC, said. “We are asking them to take a moment to walk in someone else’s shoes.”

SJJCC’s Center for Community Engagement plans to hold future Empathy Walks for various age groups and communities to help create awareness and understanding that will result in position actions amongst attendees.

Village Of Farmingdale Launches Main Street Business Improvement District First BID to be established in Nassau County in two decades

BY DAVE GIL DE RUBIO

dgilderubio@antonmediagroup.com

T

he latest example of municipalities rebounding from the economic wallop of the pandemic is the recent announcement that the Village of Farmingdale is forming the Main Street Business Improvement District (BID).

A BID is a commercial district that assembles funds to be used to collectively enhance the area within its boundaries.

This new BID allows the merchants to better plan and pay for maintenance and enhancements to the Farmingdale Downtown that may be inadequately handled by government via existing tax revenues. Some examples of what funds can be used for would be street cleaning, snow removal, advertising, special events, security cameras, a directory kiosk, capitol

improvements, etc. The BID can also apply for grant money from federal, state and local municipalities to promote downtown business. The Main Street BID will encompass the portion of Main Street from

Prospect Street to N Front Street, just past the railroad tracks. This constitutes a major economic milestone as there hasn’t been a new business improvement district in Nassau County in more than 20 years. Farmingdale’s BID Board of Directors is comprised of village business owners Nick DeVito (president), Tony Kathreptis (vice president), Walter Priestley (secretary), Joe Fortuna (treasurer), Maria Josephine Winant, Chris Werle, Christina Bisbee, Bill Carman and Joe Garcia.

At the most recent count, 63 businesses are joining the Main Street BID. According to DeVito, the idea came up a few years back and only started to formulate in 2019.

“It took some time to coordinate; get everyone on board, establish the Guidelines, select

a board of directors, etc.,” he said. “Also, there was some resistance to the initial proposal, so we worked with the members to find something that was more suitable.”

The establishment of a BID in the Village of Farmingdale goes back to an initial attempt roughly 15 to 20 years ago.

DeVito explained its failure to take was due to a lack of support from local business owners. It’s a situation that has changed in recent years.

“Currently, there seems to be a better spirit of cooperation and enthusiasm to work together, not only for special events, like Music on Main, Parades, Festivals, etc., but for the everyday welfare of the Downtown,” DeVito explained.

Among the projects and initiatives the BID has on its wish list are more advertising to promote what’s going on in the

village via signage at the train station and other locations, trolley service, the purchase of security cameras and possibly a marquee. For DeVito and the rest of the board, the establishment of a BID couldn’t have come at a better time.

“Without the Business Improvement District, it will be difficult to raise funding for collective advertising, special events, security and snow removal from walkways,” he said. “Many of these things are not the responsibility of the village government to pay for through resident taxes. Since we have had the BID in place, we can also apply for grant money from federal, state and local municipalities for our projects.”

Breakout Season For MacArthur Lacrosse

BY JAMES ROWAN

levittown@antonmediagroup.com

It was a breakout year for the MacArthur boys lacrosse program. Head coach John Nessler led the Generals to the Nassau County Final Four and a 9-5 overall record.

“The MacArthur program has many individuals that have gone on to play in college, win National Championships, become All-Americans, but there hasn’t been a team accomplishment like us making the Final Four,” Nessler said.

The season started off with an impressive 10-9 win over Massapequa, who were the defending New York State champions and ranked 8th in the country at the time.

What followed were a string of highlight reel victories over perennial contenders such as South Side and Roslyn. On four occasions, the Generals rallied in the

fourth quarter to win games, including an 11-10 overtime win over Long Beach.

“It’s a great group of all-around athletes,” Nessler said. “Many of our players are two or three-sport athletes. That has certainly helped them prepare for the many challenges that this

tough conference presented.

We knew every game was going to be a battle, but we also knew that we belonged there and we had something to prove. We played with a little bit of a chip on our shoulders and that was something that helped us in those close ones.”

The Generals were led by All County selections James Napoli, Joey Forchelli, Matt Papach, Vinny Butrico and Michael Cassano. Honorable mention All County picks Luca Runyan and Nick DelGrosso as well as All Conference players Connor Cullen and Brian Connelly.

John Rebaudo was the Unsung Hero and Nessler earned Coach of the Year Honors.

Additional top performers were Steven Weber, Vincenzo Montefusco, Cian Runyan, Ryan Larkin and Matt Schwann.

MacArthur opened the playoffs with a 19-5 win over rival East Meadow before meeting Carey in the county semifinals. While the Generals beat Carey, 14-9 in the regular season, they dropped a close 12-7 rematch in the playoffs.

Nessler returns 10 starters from this year’s team and is

very optimistic about next season.

“I think every team strives to set a goal of at least a County Championship, but now we can look in the mirror and honestly say, we expect that,” Nessler said.

“We have put in the work, gotten the experience, and learned from our losses. We know that it will certainly not be an easy feat, but we’re up to the challenge.”

In more lacrosse news, the Division girls lacrosse team wrapped up a terrific season.

The Dragons posted a 10-4 record before losing in the playoffs to Friends Academy.

Division was led by juniors Juliana Stanley (61 goals, 17 assists) and Maggie McCabe (31 and 23) and senior Katie Stroud (12 and 9).

Senior Elizabeth Petrellese anchored the defense with a strong season as goalkeeper.

The report, which is available on the district’s website, www. hicksvillewater.org, was also mailed to every resident’s home and once again confirms the district’s ability to continually deliver residents with high-quality drinking water.

“We encourage all residents to review the District’s Annual Water Quality Report as it provides them with a greater confidence in the quality of their tap water,” HWD Chairman Karl Schweitzer said. “In

addition to the various parameters we routinely test for and their results, this report also offers a closer glimpse at the services the water district provides to the community as well as other important item such as rates. We take an immense amount of pride in the product being delivered to customers and this report will help residents understand why.”

The report, which is verified for accuracy by the Nassau County Health Department, shows that the water being delivered to Hicksville residents is under the maximum contamination level (MCL) of 38 different potential water contaminants. Additionally, the

district conducts more than 10,000 water quality tests every year. Tests are also conducted for more than 135

different contaminants and they have remained undetected, ensuring they are not a threat to the community’s water quality.

Residents who have not received a physical copy of the report can request one by contacting the district at info@hicksvillewater.org or calling 516-931-0184. Residents are also encouraged to reach out to the district should they have any questions, concerns or need additional clarity.

Town Honors Former North Massapequa Busboy Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino, Town Councilwoman Vicki Walsh and Oyster Bay Town Receiver of Taxes Jeffrey P. Pravato recently visited Sal’s Place in North Massapequa to honor Chris Perez for raising

charitable funds to support his former place of employment, Sal’s Place. Perez once worked as a busboy at Sal’s Place and has always appreciated that employment opportunity. Recognizing that Sal’s Place and other local

businesses were facing severe hardships brought on by the COVID-19 economic crisis, Perez began raising money to help keep the doors open. Salvatore Carrillo and Joseph Oberjosh, owners of Sal’s Place, were also honored by

town officials for being good corporate citizens as they have sponsored many athletic teams and community events over the years.

Mayor Daniel Pearl of Massapequa Park and the board of trustees recently passed an extension of the nine-month building permit amnesty program that was set to expire in at the end of July. The program will now expire at the end of the year and allows residential property owners to legalize work that was done without a building permit without paying the extra charges assessed for the failure to apply for a permit prior to the work commencing.

“After seeing the success of the amnesty program, the board of trustees and I, decided to extend it for the duration of the 2021 calendar year to give

additional homeowners the opportunity to take advantage of this great program,” Pearl said.

The program includes legalizing work done prior to an owner having taken title to their house.

At the conclusion of this calendar year, the amnesty program will expire and the permit fees, including the extra charges for work having been done without a permit will apply.

For more information about the program, residents can contact the building department at 516-798-0244.

Harbor Child Care Honors First Responders In mid-March of 2020, Harbor Child Care closed for what was supposed to be a two-week period to “flatten the curve” regarding COVID-19, and reopened its doors on June 1, 2020. During that time, and subsequently, Harbor Child Care has had to pivot on a dime regarding myriad issues. The facility endures the often-changing regulations from healthcare organizations and licensing agencies.

As part of the efforts to give back to the communities, Harbor Child Care held a Drive-By Grab & Go Lunch for first responders of Glen Cove on May 26. A beautiful display of food tables, balloons and thank you signs made

by Harbor’s teachers and children welcomed first responders. Chef Moris Café and

Glen Cove first responders La Placita Market provided a delicious array of wraps, empanadas and sandwiches.

The event was Harbor’s way of saying thank you to the brave men and women who put their lives on the line each and every day, especially during these difficult times.

The children and staff were amazed by the outpouring

of support from the City of Glen Cove Volunteer Fire Department, the City of Glen Cove EMS, and the Glen Cove Police Department. A parade of fire trucks took center stage.

Amended Remedy Issued For Crown Dykman Superfund The Department of Environmenal Conservation (DEC) has issued an amended remedy to address contamination at the Crown Dykman Superfund Site at 66 Herb Hill Rd. in Glen Cove.

The estimated cost to implement the remedy is $4,700,000. A public comment period was set from March 24 through April 23 to

provide an opportunity for the public to comment on the proposed changes. The comments received during the public comment period, along with the administrative record, were considered in preparing the final ROD Amendment for the site.

limit the community spread of COVID-19.

The following is a summary of the chosen remedy described in the ROD Amendment: • Demolition of the on-site building and removal of the slab foundation.

• Source removal through excavation of contaminated soil to approximately 15

feet below surface grade in the southwestern portion of the property. Disposal of contaminated soil off-site at a permitted facility.

• In-place chemical oxidation treatment of chlorinated solvent contaminants in the site’s groundwater plume.

• Backfill with clean material that meets the established

Soil Cleanup Objectives for commercial use.

• Development and implementation of a Site Management Plan to monitor the effectiveness of the remedy.

Resident Promoted To Lieutenant In Mineola Auxiliary Police Department

BY ANTHONY MURRAY

T

amurray@antonmediagroup.com

here’s a new lieutenant in town.

Last month, Mineola resident Regis Gallet was promoted to the rank of lieutenant within the Mineola Auxiliary Police Department (MAPD) after being within the department for almost 30 years.

“About 30 years ago, a friend of mine and I saw the auxiliary police in action at the Bellmore train station and we were very interested in contributing,” Gallet said. “I knew I would be going to law school and most likely unable to be a full-time police officer, so this would be a great opportunity to work alongside the police in many aspects of their duties while still being able to maintain my chosen career path. Fast forward almost 30 years later and here I am still doing it—and never regretting a single day. In my personal opinion, there is nothing more rewarding or honorable than volunteering to help one’s community, and to be able to accomplish that while doing something that is both interesting and never routine is a win-win.”

So how did Gallet find out he was receiving this promotion?

“Michael T. Spae, our Inspector, never misses a beat to keep us on our

toes,” he said. “My promotion was no exception. He told me that he needed to speak to me about some bank paperwork. In fact, my promotion would have been a week earlier, but I was not available to meet with him. I am thinking had I known, maybe I would have made the time. I showed up at our headquarters and he offered me some ‘bars’ in the freezer. I assumed it was ice cream. But of course, it was not. It was Lieutenant’s bars. He totally surprised me.”

Gallet, who is co-owner of the Recovery Room Bar and Grill in the village alongside his wife Cristi, said that his duties within the MAPD won’t change that much coming from Sergeant to Lieutenant.

“Until we have a promotion to Sergeant, I will continue to be responsible for many of the duties I was before including being the Quartermaster for our Uniform Division and the Field Training Supervisor for new members,” he said. “And during events such as parades or street fairs, I will still be responsible for coordinating with the police department as to placement of vehicles and officers to deal with traffic and similar items. And as far as events in Nassau County that are not in Mineola, my duties will likely evolve into more of a supervisory role with me overseeing other officers at their posts.”

During his tenure within the MAPD, Gallet added that there are many memorable events, both happy and sad, and recalls one incident that happened 12 years ago.

“While street fairs and concerts are enjoyable to work and to see people having a nice time, there are events that have occurred on my patrols, which are difficult,” he said. “I have

seen all too many accidents, fires and injuries. I think my most memorable event was lifting a man off the railroad tracks at the Mineola station on Dec. 10, 2009 who was planning on committing suicide. Thankfully I was there. And even more thankfully, I was able to save him before a train arrived.

It’s a good memory in that he is safe, but a difficult one as well.”

Gallet said that working within the MAPD is second to none.

“I would not trade my time there or the people I work—and have worked—with for anything,” he added.

“I feel as though my almost 30 years have gone by in the blink of an eye. If anyone is considering joining, or has any questions about what we do or the requirements, I strongly recommend that they log onto the Nassau County Auxiliary Police Department website and inquire. And once you are contacted, do not hesitate to tell them you are interested in specifically joining the MAPD.” To visit the county’s Auxiliary Police Department website, visit www. pdcnaux.org/recruitment.

Library’s Renovations Go Forward

BY HANNAH MERWIN

T

editorial@antonmediagroup.com

he Garden City Public Library is continuing its efforts to renovate the Children’s Department as a part of the Library Renovation Project.

In a Garden City Board of Trustees meeting on June 17, a representative from the Garden City Public Library gave a presentation on the project, which has been in the works for more than seven years. This presentation consisted of several slides outlining the $845,220 renovation plans, including floor plans and pictures of what the new Children’s Room will look like.

This renovation project began in 2012, starting as a citizen focus group.

Library Chairman Randy Colahan helped continue the efforts, along with the rest of the library board and administration, to help secure the necessary funds for the project, including $145,000 in Bullet Aid between 2014-18, and a more recent grant of $200,000 in 2019.

Changes to the library will include different spaces that are aimed at children’s learning programs, such as a reading room and a workshop for STEAM related activities (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math).

The floor plan for the space includes a new front desk, new carpets and walls, specific areas designed for different age groups, flexible environments in the Workshop to focus on STEAM projects, a reading room, a parent seating area, and a new reference desk. The goal behind these renovations is to improve function, create better sight lines, provide new seating options and introduce design elements that help create a fun, inviting space for guests.

When Library Director Marianne Malagon was appointed in 2018, the project efforts were once again in full swing. Malagon helped give a “fresh eye” to the project, she said, “seeking something eye-catching and imaginative, and outside the box for a children’s section.” As the Children’s department has scarcely been updated since the library opened in 1973, these changes are a welcome change.

“This project will dramatically transform and modernize the library,” Chairman J. Randolph Colahan said.

This project is attempting to make a minimal impact upon the community, working with the village and H2M Architects and Engineers to transition into construction, while continuing

At the board’s most recent meeting, the library renovation project was at center stage. (Contributed photo) to provide a functional library space for users. Along with H2M, Colahan is assisted by Malagon, village administrator Ralph Suozzi, Department Superintendent Guiseppe

Giuvanniello and project architect Katie Stone.

As the project continues construction, the Children’s Department is being temporarily relocated to the

library’s large meeting room on the lower level. Other changes that have already been made include Playaway Launchpads which are for grades Pre-K through 5. The launchpads include tablets with learning apps installed which provide themed, grade-leveled, subject based learning.

Subjects include language arts, math, science, and more. These Launchpads are an exciting addition to the library as technology is more often used in everyday life. They provide a fun and interactive way for children to learn different kinds of skills and subjects.

The community will be updated on the progress and any changes to the library services while construction continues. Visit the library’s website at www.gardencitypl.org or call the library at 516-742-8405 to find out more information.

Upcoming At Rotary Last Tuesday at Calogero’s outdoor restaurant facility, the Mineola-Garden City Rotary Club hosted Rebecca Ryan and James Sanborn as guest speakers. Ryan and Sanborn are from PBS (Positive Behavior Support Consulting).

Both specialists provide support to Garden City High School students with vocational programing for the Special Education Department.

Their work involves partnering with the business community to identify work sites, career exploration venues and mentors to help students learn career development and employability skills.

Ryan and Sanborn told of several heartwarming experiences where students with special needs, through support, had achieved success by going into various areas of the workforce which evolved to long-term employment benefiting both special needs employee and employer alike.

Paul Harris Fellowship Presentation

At the luncheon meeting at Calogero’s restaurant, Immediate Past Club President, Joseph Packard, Esq., was awarded the Paul Harris Fellow—Rotary’s highest honor.

Awarded to Rotarians who have generously given to the Rotary Foundation in his name, it is the tradition of the Mineola-Garden City Rotary Club to award the Paul Harris Fellow to a Club president upon the completion of his/her term. For his many contributions to our Club and beyond, IP president Joseph Packard well deserves this coveted award.

Businessman Paul Harris started the first Rotary Club in 1905. Today there are more than 31,000 clubs with more than 1,200,000 members in 167 countries. Although Harris died in 1947, his memory lives on through presentations of the Paul Harris Fellow.

The Mineola-Garden City Rotary Club warmly congratulates our fellow Rotarian, the Very Rev. Dr. Michael T. Sniffen, Dean of the Cathedral of the Incarnation. The Dean was sworn in as a Lieutenant in the United States Navy Chaplain Corp at the commissioning ceremony at the Cathedral on June 7. We applaud our fellow Rotarian on this remarkable accomplishment.

MTA Announces Opening Of New Elevators At Floral Park LIRR Station

BY ANTHONY MURRAY

amurray@antonmediagroup.com

M

TA Construction and Development recently announced the addition of new elevators at the Floral Park Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) station. The three elevators, one for each platform, provide access from the street level to the platform level and make the station fully accessible to all in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The enhancements were a part of the LIRR Expansion project.

These improvements were developed based on community feedback received as part of a comprehensive environmental review and public involvement process for the LIRR Expansion Project in 2017.

The three new elevators at the Floral Park station cost $10 million, which is comparatively less expensive than similar projects in the subway system where utilities and stairs must be moved and in some cases, entire mezzanines must be expanded and reconfigured. This value was achieved by following the design-build project delivery system, where projects are bundled to improve efficiency and reduce costs.

“This project continues to be a model for how the MTA can deliver

The MTA/LIRR recently held a ribbon cutting event to unveil the new elevators at the Floral Park LIRR station. (Photo courtesy of MTA) infrastructure projects better, faster and cheaper,” Janno Lieber, President of MTA Construction and Development, said. “We’re especially proud of the enhancements being made despite the pandemic, which shows the MTA’s continued dedication to accessibility.”

President of the MTA LIRR Phil Eng added, “Providing safe, reliable and equitable service for all is paramount.

I’m proud of how the LIRR workforce has continued to work side by side with 3TC throughout this pandemic delivering on our commitment to make Floral Park Station accessible with these new elevators. Our customers and the communities that we serve deserve a world class system and this brings us one step

closer. The LIRR Expansion project has already completed major infrastructure improvements that have resulted in better service for our riders and we’re excited for all that’s still to come.”

One Floral Park resident Nadia Holubnyczyj, who advocated strongly for the addition of the elevators at the Floral Park station said the completion of this project represents what can be achieved when advocates, local elected officials, state governments and agencies work together.

“In Floral Park, 25 percent of our population will now have access to the train station that is in the center of our wonderful village for easier access to employment, health care, education

and community life,” she said. “But the elevators are a benefit to every single person who uses the train station.

It makes me smile to know that my advocacy has made life easier for so many in Floral Park.”

As part of her advocacy work, Holubnyczyj spoke at all of the public hearings, connected with local elected state officials including Senator Anna Kaplan and Assemblywoman Michaelle Solages and also had conversations with Eng and his staff.

“There was a wonderful, ongoing conversation about the need for the elevators that I found to be positive and I am grateful to everyone involved,” she added.

Village of Floral Park Mayor Kevin Fitzgerald said that the village is pleased to see this improvement to the Floral Park station come to completion.

“We would also like to thank the LIRR in listening to the village board and our residents’ requests during the EIS process in having this important addition included in the main line expansion project,” he added.

“Improving access to public transportation is important and we look forward to continuing to work with the MTA towards enhancing the level of service offered at the station.”

Town Unveils Newly Repaved Parking Lot North Hempstead Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth, the town board, and the town’s Department of Public Works joined together to unveil the newly repaved and restriped parking lot at Clinton G. Martin Park in New Hyde Park. The project was part of the Town’s 2021 Capital Plan for Parks infrastructure and enhancement.

“We are excited to kick off the

summer season with a freshly paved and painted parking lot for our residents,” Supervisor Bosworth said.

“Clinton G. Martin Park is the home to many wonderful town events, and we hope to see you there soon.”

The parking lot project’s scope encompassed milling, resurfacing, restriping, and drainage improvements, along with the removal of

“I was sworn in the same day as Sgt. Miloscia and we went through the Nassau County Police Academy together. I’m sorry to see him go,” Chief Robert Glaser said. He went on to say that Spadaro has been a great help to Lt. Alfred Schiraldi in maintaining the village’s law enforcement accreditation by the state.

“He’s been involved in policies and procedures. He scored number one on the sergeant’s exam and I’m happy to recommended him,” Glaser concluded.

Before his promotion was unanimously approved by the board, Mayor Novick said he wanted to recognize Spadaro’s contribution to accreditation, which he called “an extremely important component of the village’s standing in the state.”

Senator Kaplan Speaks Out About White Supremacist Hate Mail

ast week, State Senator Anna M. Kaplan (D-North Hills) received a vile piece of hate mail using well-known white supremacist, anti-Semitic hate speech in response to a mailer providing information about the COVID-19 vaccine to residents in Nassau County. Senator Kaplan, who is Jewish, and an outspoken voice against hatred and anti-Semitism, is the first refugee elected to the New York State Legislature, having fled her birth country due to the threat of anti-Semitic violence.

“This incident is a sad reminder that Nassau County is not immune to hatred and white supremacy, and it’s our responsibility as a community to forcefully reject this evil whenever it reveals itself among us,” Kaplan said.

“As a former religious refugee who fled anti-Semitism in my birth country, I have seen first-hand how anti-Semitism begins to permeate a society and ultimately lead to violence against Jewish people. That experience has taught me the importance of sounding the alarm against hate at every

The incident has been reported to the Nassau County Police, and it is being actively investigated.

“We all deserve to live in a community free from hatred and bias, and I’m extremely grateful for the efforts Anti-vaccination, anti-woman and anti-Semitic mail that was sent to State of our Nassau County Police for their Senator Anna Kaplan.

County Executive Signs Executive Order Adopting IHRA Working Definition Of Anti-Semitism Nassau County Executive Laura Curran signed last week an executive order officially recognizing the non-legally binding International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of AntiSemitism, an important guidance tool for monitoring and raising awareness about the contexts in which anti-Semitic acts and harassment takes place.

The executive order directs all county departments and officials in the county to be guided by the IHRA Working Definition of Anti-Semitism, in complying with, implementing and enforcing laws or regulations that prohibit acts of anti-Semitic discrimination or harassment.

“In order to combat anti-Semitism effectively, it is important to be clear about what it is and how it may manifest itself,” Curran said. “With anti-Semitism on the rise, Nassau County stands with our Jewish brothers and sisters and will continue fighting to ensure hatred never finds a

“The definition, which has been adopted by more than 30 countries, including the U.S., and numerous multilateral bodies, is the definitive definition of anti-Semitism,” they said.

“At a time when the Jewish community has seen a rise in not only traditional anti-Semitism, but a new anti-Semitism that seeks to demonize and delegitimize Israel, a clear understanding of what anti-Semitism is, is essential to combating this evil.”

Mindy Perlmutter, executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council Long Island (JCRCLI) concluded, “The JCRC-LI strongly supports the adoption and utilization of the IHRA Working Definition of Anti-Semitism as a resource for education and guidance in Nassau County.

With anti-Semitism on the rise, it must be met with condemnation and action. We applaud County Executive Laura Curran for her leadership and conviction.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR MIDDLE NECK ROAD: A DISASTER I regularly have to drive through the war zone in Great Neck, otherwise known as Middle Neck Road. The rides are unique on Long Island in terms of their choppiness, straining the riders and tormenting the motor vehicles.

The asphalt was partially removed for placing pipes, but the new pieces of asphalt were paved neglectfully, with substantial differences of level with the rest of the road.

Supposedly, new asphalt is going to be poured at the

end of the summer but in the meantime something needs to be done to smoothen the road, e.g., filler asphalt can be added and tamped.

Middle Neck Road is the main artery of the peninsula, which passes through the villages of Great Neck Plaza, Great Neck Estates, Great Neck and Kings Point, and the unincorporated areas of Town of North Hempstead.

Middle Neck Road is a county road. Its repair and maintenance are

“mishandled” by Nassau County. One might be misinformed and think that the mayors of the villages or the Town of North Hempstead supervisor, should be reached for mitigating the “repairs.”

The mayors and the town supervisor do not have any jurisdictions whatsoever for the repairs of this road.

Our representative for Great Neck area in the Nassau County Legislature, Ellen Birnbaum, should have gotten involved already. The

residents need not to wait until the end of the summer when the county is going to pour new asphalt.

However, while neglecting the opportunities to serve her constituents, Birnbaum does not miss the best photo ops such as picking up garbage on the land next to Piccadilly Road on “Earth Day” or showing up at the COVID vaccine site arranged by other officials.

LET SCHOOL DISTRICTS DECIDE ON MASK POLICY Before the end of the 2021 school year, parents, teachers and school board members throughout Long Island began requesting that the freedom to decide proper mask protocol be given to the school districts themselves. While Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that school districts are now allowed to decide for themselves if masks are necessary for children and staff during outside activities, he is still mandating that schools require masks indoors for staff and students.

If Governor Cuomo refuses to lift his mandate for in-school masks because, as he says, the CDC guidance calls for masks to be worn for all indoor school activities, we ignore the reality that the CDC guidance, unfortunately, applies uniformly to all 50 states. The CDC guidance regarding masks inside schools has not taken into consideration the low rate of transmission in New York or all of the steps taken by the various school districts on Long Island to keep our students

and staff safe. In fact, the New York State PTA has voiced its opinion on this matter and states that they will “continue to support a parent’s choice in whether or not their child will wear a mask in a school building, or outside on school grounds.” Furthermore, they have asked the CDC to reconsider their guidance on a state-by-state basis, which makes the most sense to me.

This incremental shift in the state mandate regarding school masks seems to be an attempt to match the school guidance with the governor’s mandates for summer camps in New York. Currently, the children attending summer camp in New York will not be required to wear a mask, indoors or outdoors, although it is strongly advised for the unvaccinated. In my opinion, there is no reason why there should be a one-size fits all approach with regard to our public or private schools.

Regardless of New York State Health Commissioner Dr. Zucker’s recent letter to the CDC and the confusion that

it caused, it appears that even he wants to move forward with lifting a mask mandate for schools and to let the individual districts decide their indoor and outdoor protocol on their own.

This pandemic has demonstrated how resilient our schools and teachers have been in teaching our students. From immediately and suddenly introducing a program of remote learning, to implementing a hybrid model of in-person instruction combined with remote learning to a system of total in-person instruction, our schools and students have done the very best they could under the circumstances they have faced. It was no small task and they made it work!

It is for these reasons that I believe the governor should make the decision to allow each individual school district the same autonomy with regard to masks during indoor activities that he gave to them with regard to outdoor activities, whether it be at the end of this school year or the

beginning of the new school year in September. Schools know the configuration of their classrooms and their community better than the Albany bureaucracy. I think we can all agree that individual school districts will only go maskless indoors when the parents and staff of that school determine that they can safely do so.

At least three Long Island districts—Sachem, Patchogue-Medford and Massapequa—announced that they are ignoring the new guidance from the state’s education department and have made masks optional.

Let’s support a system where other school districts aren’t forced into the same situation of choosing to ignore state guidance. Let’s give each school district the freedom to work with parents, students and staff to determine the policy that’s best for that individual school district.

Appreciating Our Nation’s Independence And Freedom This July 4th marks the 245th anniversary of the presentation and acceptance of the Declaration of Independence, one of the most significant events in world history. The freedom and liberty that exists in the world today is largely the result of the Declaration of Independence made in Philadelphia in 1776.

MAJORITY REPORT Richard J. Nicolello

Declaration were remarkably courageous. Everyone who signed the Declaration risked being hung by British forces as a traitor. Their unshakeable belief in the cause of liberty gave them the strength to take on the might of an empire that stretched around the world.

The signers included some of the wealthiest men in America. They risked losing everything, impoverishing

their families. They believed that freedom and liberty were God-given rights, not rights given by government.

Our Founding Fathers were far from perfect. The America they created was not perfect. It took a bloody civil war to finally remove the stain of slavery from our nation and another 100 years to extend civil rights

Our Love Affair With Coffee Americans have always had a love affair with coffee. Joe, java, brew, liquid caffeine or whatever you choose to call it, the brown liquid has been a large part of our diet since 1689, when North America’s first coffee house opened in Boston, MA. Cowboys brewed it over open flames, while homesteaders made it on cast iron stoves. Currently, more than 60 percent of American adults consume coffee daily and most adults 55 and older drink at least one cup per day.

Per year, Americans drink around 150 billion cups of liquid caffeine. Quite a sizeable sum, especially if you consider teens and young adults who also enjoy their daily frappe or latte from Starbucks.

The love affair spans the generations. Whether or not this is a good thing remains fodder for future columns, but the fact remains: Americans love their java.

Hubby, daughter and I are avid coffee drinkers. When my husband was still working, he had a Dunkin’ habit that was hard to kick. Our daughter preferred the brew from Starbucks, as did I. When we sat down to figure out how much we were spending monthly on take-out brew, we realized we had a bit of a problem. It was time to cut back.

Our parents and grandparents referred to “coffee” as a jar of Sanka or Savarin, freeze-dried crystals that were bitter to the taste.

Home-brewed coffee was reserved for special times, like when company came over.

Freeze-dried instant coffees also had an oily residue which I referred to as an “oil slick” over the top of the coffee. This would never be an option

for a coffee aficionado like Hubby, who shuddered at the thought of drinking instant coffee.

I will always think of my Dad, who drank a cup of Sanka over his puffed rice every morning. I shudder at the memory of that aroma, or rather, malodorous combination.

When Hubby retired, we decided that daily treks to the coffee shop would quickly land us in debt.

Years ago, I had gotten a small stove-top percolator from Mom, which had taken up residence in the pantry.

After reading a how-to online, I found that I had made one of the finest cups of coffee this side of the Rockies. It was flavorful, full of aroma and fresh. Best of all, it was free.

For several months, I made government of the people, by the people and for the people.

The nation that they helped create has had the strength and flexibility over time to become a more just society. And the words of the Declaration have

coffee every morning in the stove-top percolator. It was tasty but seemed to be a little light, more like diner coffee, which is a deliciously brewed beverage, but Hubby preferred a more robust brew.

Several years ago, I purchased a French press from IKEA when I realized that my single-serve Bodum press was too small for morning coffee.

The IKEA press could accommodate four cups of water, which meant that Hubby and I could each enjoy a cup without having to start the process from the beginning.

However, the filter never fully sealed over the grounds.

What we ended up with was a mouth full of coffee shards, unless we filtered the coffee through both a handheld strainer and a paper towel.

After a few months of this

tedious process, we purchased a larger Bodum press from Home Goods off the clearance rack, which was one of the best buys we had made in quite some time. Frenchpressed coffee is rich, full of flavor and usually has a bit of froth on top when poured. It is also delicious and easy to make.

As Hubby and I have been downsizing, we were clearing out the attic and found a few coffee-related “relics”.

An old Regal 30-cup coffee maker that had once been used for large gatherings was perched beside our old drip coffee maker and a plug-in percolator used for family get-togethers.

I also found an old Moka for espresso. I decided that we would return to their use in the fall when the

preferred temperature of coffee is piping hot. While the flavor brewed from these older-styled coffee makers is 100 percent better than a K-cup’s mild flavor, the convenience of a single-serve machine won me over.

Whether you perk, press, drip or use pre-measured pods, coffee is one of Life’s most delicious flavors. A cup in the morning can help to put a bounce in your step, while a sip after dinner is the perfect way to end a wonderful meal.

Iced, latte-style, a foamy cappuccino or piping hot in a delightful mug, as Thomas Jefferson stated, “coffee is the favorite drink of the civilized world.” Excuse me while I make myself an Americano.

“Our seniors did not let it stop them,” she said of the disruptions caused by the global pandemic. “They were able to complete their 13 years in Massapequa Public Schools with grace and success.”

The venue allowed for an in-person ceremony, with guests spread out throughout the large seating areas which lined three sides of the field.

Graduates sat socially distanced, but without masks, so the smiles were visible.

Lowell noted that she first met this highly talented group of students several years ago, when they were seventh graders and she was an administrator at Berner Middle School. Almost six years later, they are officially alumni of a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence.

Delia O’Farrell noted that no person achieves success on their own, so she took a few moments to thank those who have supported the Class of 2021, including their families, friends, teachers and administrators. She, too, reflected on the challenges of the past year and a half and how her class overcame those obstacles individually and collectively.

“If there’s one thing I see in the Class of 2021, it’s strength,” O’Farrell said. “We took this school year on and made it our own. The Class of 2021 is strong. The Class of 2021 does not give up.”

SYOSSET FIFTH GRADE STUDENTS ADVANCE On June 16 and 18, fifth grade students from the Syosset elementary schools participated in moving up ceremonies as they celebrated the culmination of their elementary education and advancement to the secondary level. The students, eager and well-prepared to enter H.B. Thompson or South Woods Middle School this fall, beamed with excitement and pride as they came together to celebrate their accomplishments in front of audiences during outdoor ceremonies at their respective schools.

During the ceremonies, fifth graders

from A.P. Willits, Berry Hill, J. Irving Baylis, Robbins Lane, South Grove, Village and Walt Whitman were honored with multiple awards, from academic awards to recognitions for their participation in student council, NYSSMA, and the character education program PRIDE, to name a few. They were commended not only for educational achievements, but for their strong character development throughout their years at the elementary level.

WE LOVE OUR PETS Dog Parks And Your Dog

BY HARRIET MEYERS

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

Is Your Dog Ready for a Dog Park Experience?

Some dogs may not be ready to visit a dog park. Following are characteristics of dogs who should not visit—at least not yet. · Puppies younger than four months old who have not had all of their vaccinations should never be around dogs you don’t know. · Dogs that aren’t up-to-date on their vaccinations should stay home. AKC Chief Veterinary Officer Dr. Jerry Klein recommends that dogs spending time in dog parks be vaccinated for bordetella, leptospirosis and canine influenza.

They should also be treated with flea, tick and heartworm prevention. · If your dog is in heat or coming into season, keep her at home—unless you want

unplanned puppies or to stir up an aggressive interest in male dogs. · Any dog showing signs of illness should stay home. It may be something contagious and also cause the dog to feel unsociable. · A dog should learn to obey basic obedience commands—such as come, down and stay—in distracting environments prior to going to a dog park. If your dog is tuning you out when he’s having fun, you won’t get his attention at the dog park. · Socialize your dog to other dogs before you go. If your dog is shy or nervous, the dog park may be a nightmare for him. · Reactive or aggressive dogs may not welcome an onrush of strange dogs anywhere, including a dog park. · Resource guarders, depending on what they guard, may not do well in a dog park. Dogs that guard their owners, their water dish or even a ball or stick may not interact well with other dogs.

Is a Particular Dog Park a Match for Your Dog?

All dog parks are not alike.

Therefore, animal behaviorists suggest that you visit a dog park

without your dog before you take your canine companion along. Here are some of the aspects to evaluate: · Fencing should be secure and prevent dogs from jumping over or crawling under, with no holes or rough edges. Double gates are safest, allowing you to close one gate behind you before opening the gate to the park area. · Separate play areas for large and small dogs are most conducive to safe and congenial mingling. · The park should be clear of trash, equipment and dog poop. You should clean up after your dog and so should everyone else. · How many dogs are there? Large groups of too many dogs can be intimidating and difficult to control. Consider visiting dog parks at off-peak hours and leaving if the park is too crowded. · Communal water bowls allow dogs to share parasites, bacteria and viruses. Dog parks that ask owners to bring their own water dishes help protect your dog’s health. · Dog parks that require owners to register their dogs and show proof of vaccinations also offer better health protection. · Notice what the dog owners are doing. They should be paying attention to their dogs, watching their dog’s body language and intervening when play starts to get too rough. · Personal dog toys, balls, food or treats can cause doggy disagreements and are best left at home.

og parks are fenced-in, outdoor grounds designated for off-leash dog play. There are many variations, some safer and more pleasurable than others for your dog. Also, like any other social activity, it’s important for dog owners to know basic rules of etiquette. In this case, it’s not just a matter of a social faux pas— failing to comply can put your dog and other pets at risk.

The Trust for Public Land reports that dog parks are among the fastest-growing park amenities in the 100 largest U.S. cities. In 2019, there were 810 dedicated dog parks in those cities.

Dog parks range from a canine oasis where dogs can socialize and expend positive energy to frightening

enclosures contributing to traumatic experiences for your dog. Thankfully, there are steps you can take to determine whether your dog and a dog park are a good match.

To Sandwiches, With Love In praise of our greatest kitchen creation

BY STEVE MOSCO

Smosco@antonmediagroup.com

Where do I even begin with sandwiches? This is a food item so ubiquitous in culinary pop culture that focusing on any one style in particular would be an insult to the entire planet’s sandwich collective. There are breakfast sandwiches so good that they give you a reason to get out of bed in the morning. Lunch breaks exist solely so that we might spend an hour alone with a really good sandwich. Dinners have bent to the will of sandwiches and even dessert has been infiltrated by the ice cream sandwich.

W

Blissfully simple in their conception and construction, sandwiches take food that could be fine on its own, and place it inside of an endless variety of bread. This gives us the freedom to pick up said food with our bare hands and bring it5directly to our mouths. Sandwiches

is National Sandwich Month and in the spirit of celebration, pile high the history and the adoration.

Sandwich Zero

By all accounts, the 4th Earl of Sandwich John Montagu was a degenerate gambler. His secret, yet rather substantial gambling problem often kept the notorious fuddy-duddy of 1700s London at the card tables for hours, even days on end. As the story goes, during one particularly heightened gaming binge in 1762, Montagu grew hungry. But rather than leave the game so that he could eat in the kitchen or dining room like a proper gentleman, Montagu requested that the house cook bring him something he could eat with one hand and without getting up from his presumably lucky seat.

And thus, the sandwich was born.

Composed of simply meat and bread, the cook’s contribution to his or her employer’s gambling problem impressed Montagu so much that he would eat it constantly. He carried sandwiches around everywhere—one in his hand and sometimes even a few hidden in the many pockets of his dapper coat. To impress his high-society friends, he would stand in the middle of a party and demand everyone’s attention before revealing his sandwich with a showman’s flair, presumably accompanied by a hearty, “huzzah!” These meat-on-bread creations became so inextricably linked to Montagu that the rest of London eventually attached the Earl’s moniker to them.

Of course, Montagu wasn’t the first person to put meat on bread and eat.

Down in the Mediterranean, where Turkish and Greek mezze platters were served, dips, cheeses and meats were all “sandwiched” between layers of bread and eaten by locals long before Montagu played his first card game.

History is likely full of these kinds of misrepresentations—but I’ll let this one slide, mostly because I just love the word “sandwich” too much to care.

The Sum Of Its Parts Like most impeccable inventions before and after it, the sandwich’s design has remained constant since it was first conceived in 1762. But while you can’t improve perfection, it is possible to enhance it. Cured meats, artisanal cheeses, freshly baked bread of various origins, piquant aioli, crisp lettuce and juicy tomatoes; all of these and more equal better sandwiches for you and me. And all these ingredients result in the greatest visual byproduct of any food: the cross section. A chance to view with your own eyes the grand design of the sandwich, the ideal cross section lays bare the layers of meat, cheese and then some like a geographical record of flavor.

The Moonshine hero at Valley Caterers in Franklin Square brings together roast beef, cheddar, cayenne pepper, and coleslaw on a garlic hero.

Two of the most important ingredients of any sandwich are the meat and cheese. Really, meat is the cornerstone of any sandwich—Montagu knew it and now, you know it. Start with slices of whole-roasted turkey or sweet and savory ham. Perhaps some rare or medium rare roast beef is your meat of choice or maybe an expertly fried chicken cutlet is what makes your sandwich sing. No matter the meat, don’t be afraid to add even more on top of that meat with the addition of fatty bacon. And on the subject of cheese, some say cheese overpowers the rest of the sandwich and, thus, is unnecessary. To that I say, take care to use the correct cheese. Sometimes a simple American will suffice and other times a sharp cheddar is in order. If both of those are too intensely flavored, go with a subtle Swiss or mozzarella, which is high on texture but low on overall flavor.

And don’t forget about the bread, for it is more than merely a means to keeping everything together. Your sandwich bread should be a combination of doughy, crispy, chewy and crusty, with flavors and textures all serving to heighten the decadent experience.

Where The Sandwiches Are Luckily, Long Island features too many master purveyors of sandwiches to list here. You probably have your own favorite spot, but expand your horizons and try a new sandwich every now and then. After all, John Montagu likely died penniless so that ordering a sandwich would always be a safe bet for the rest of us.

Tongue was one of the first meats ever placed on a sandwich, and that tradition continues at Jewish delis across the island.

The Donnie Brasco at Syosset’s Village Heros is an off-menu special with chicken cutlet, onions, cheese, bacon and Russian dressing.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s someone who pouts when you don’t pay attention. You can take it as a compliment. Your attention is a comfort and an energizer. Should it also be a privilege though? There are those you feel should work for it and others who have it unconditionally. You’ll work out boundaries and rules on the matter.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You make moments for people. Like a playwright ratcheting up the drama, or the creator of a theme park experience, you think about how to construct an emotional progression and lead someone through it. Often people do this on a subconscious level, but you do it purposefully, consciously and brilliantly this week.

© 2021 Australian Word Games Dist. by Creators Syndicate Inc.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Keep observing those who do what you want to be doing. If you’re not in love with anyone’s work yet, you need more influences. It is good to have one or two models, but having 12 is better and having 20 is better still. This is a phase of absorption -- of becoming great by steeping in greatness.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll feel and respond to the texture of the present moment, even the parts you’re not actively engaging with. This week, some of life will seem to be behind velvet curtains; you don’t have to touch to know how it would feel to. Relax, access the experience at a respectful distance for now and enjoy the show.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). An expensive five-minute carnival ride can be a rush, but wouldn’t you rather have a whole day at the fair? Pace your delights. This week, you’ll learn about yourself as you pay slow and deliberate attention to your sensory experience of something you would usually be inclined to get through quickly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The same action done with a different intention will have different results. Intention can be the difference between a compliment and an insult, success and dumb luck, a crime and an accident.

Nuances matter, i.e., what’s done from love has one outcome; what’s done from duty has another.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re not new at this. You’ve traveled this life enough to know the benefits of having a destination in mind and the dangers of being so fixated on it that you lose the richness of the journey.

This week, you hit the perfect relaxed stride. Progress is assured and the detours will be both necessary and lovely.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There was a time you were compelled to share, and now the higher value you place on your own mystery inspires you toward different social strategies. Not everyone needs to know what you’re thinking and doing. You’ll navigate your privacy ideals and decide how much of your inner world to reveal as well.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). What you really desire is a stronger and wider capacity to become aware of what’s going on as it is going on. A high level of awareness is a prerequisite to finding and acting on the opportunities of the moment. Also, a greater capacity for absorbing and integrating the moment makes for an enviable smoothness.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Most people don’t like being wrong. Some will go to great lengths not to admit it’s happened. But being wrong doesn’t look so terrible on the lighthearted. In fact, well-intentioned mistakes are much more loveable than self-seriousness. At the very least, they indicate a person’s willingness to stretch and risk.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

Your cosmic boon comes in the form of a request made of you, the fulfillment of which will prove your mettle. Staying ahead of trends will be an important part of your success strategy. You’ll discover new methods and ideologies and because you incorporate them well and early, you’ll be a sought-after teacher. You’ll adventure with someone who enjoys what you enjoy. Breaks and deals will make it easier for you to have and enjoy what you’ve worked for.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There’s something you dream of doing that you haven’t accomplished yet. It’s been a fuzzy wish and now, suddenly, you can see it better, as though the scene came into focus with the right lens setting on a camera. Tell people your hopes, and your allies will be many.

Solution: Playing all the classics

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s an age-old struggle in the art of living. Two sides of you, the director and the actor, are in conflict. The director has a vision; the actor doesn’t share it. The actor throws tantrums, playing it wild, flowing unapproved emotions through the performance. Both sides have merit. Gentleness and patience bring harmony.
