Elmont’s Tiffany Wong to be honored for community service By NIColE WAGNER nwagner@liherald.com
Tiffany Wong, a senior at Elmont Memorial High School, goes above and beyond with her community service in Elmont. The 17-year-old tutors seventh-, eighthand ninth-grade math students, gives blood and encourages others to become blood donors, and takes stray cats to the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter to be spayed and neutered before they are adopted. Wong considers her role as a tutor a “great privilege.” One pre-algebra student she worked with was struggling, but Wong was happy to help her master long division. Once she got the basics down, Wong said, it
all clicked. “I wanted to make sure that she knew the basics, and once she got the basics down, using the calculator would be very easy for her later on,” Wong said. “So I was really proud of her to reach that light bulb moment of understanding and work from there.” As for her blood-donation advocacy, Wong is quick to tell people that donating a pint of blood can save up to three lives. “That’s something that I’ve always kept in the back of my head whenever I go in” to donate, she said. She first donated blood last year, when she turned 16, after rushing home to have her mother sign a permission slip to donate CONTiNuEd ON PAGE 5

NYU Langone unveils ambulatory care center By NICOLE FORMISANO nformisano@liherald.com
NYU Langone designed its new ambulatory care facility with a goal in mind: Creating a one-stop destination for patients’’ medical needs. The hospital — at 1111 Franklin Ave., in Garden City — offers more than 30 specialties under one roof, intended to make the days of running between appointments and specialists a thing of the past. “So, it’s no longer having the patient go to multiple places — the places come to them,” said Martin Chavez, chief of maternal-fetal medicine, at the Garden City center. “And it’s not so bad of a place to be when you need services.” The new hospital encompasses an entire half-mile block — which some neighbors may remember as the old Bloomingdale’s store — making it the largest ambulatory care center on Long Island. The $170 million facility is the latest development in Nassau County’s goal of becoming a premier site for health care, said County Executive Bruce Blakeman. “The county is investing a significant amount of money in marketing Nassau County as a destination site for medical tourism,” he said. “I believe this is very, very important for our economy. It is a jewel in our whole economic development of the region. “That’s what’s so great, is to have a

Fostering a collaborative environment was one of the most important design priorities, senior director Jean Marie Addeo said. The 300 doctors and 600 nurses and support staff work together to make patients feel comfortable. facility like this. So that people in this community who have a medical condition can get the high-quality, first-class treatment — I would say world-class treatment — here that you don’t find in many places across the world.” The ambulatory care center expects 35,000 patient visits every month, NYU Langone officials say they want to deliver hospital care without an atmosphere of coldness or sterility. The center features floor-to-ceiling windows for natural light, colorful couches and coffee tables, and an outdoor garden.
“It makes a huge difference — you can see it in our patients,” Chavez said. “You can see it when our patients are able to come in and be in a comfortable environment as they wait. “Whether it’s an exam room, an ultrasound room, a consultation room, it doesn’t matter. They feel at ease. They feel safe. They feel like it’s the level of care they deserve and expect.” Experiencing illness or chronic health issues is stressful enough. The ambulatory care center is designed to remove the added challenge of juggling different spe-
cialists. Someone who is visiting a pulmonologist and discovers heart issues, for example, can now just head down the hallway to the cardiology department, rather than be caught in a cycle of referrals. “It’s not only a wonderful environment for our patients, it’s a wonderful environment to be a clinician for patients as well,” Chavez said. “Now all I have to do is walk down the hall and I can get a consultation, or talk with a colleague about a complex patient.” Balancing 25 consolidated practices and 32 specialties was no small feat, facility senior director JeanMarie Addeo said. She and other NYU Langone administrators had to figure out which departments should be separated, which should be neighbors, and which needed the most space. The resulting flow has created a very collaborative environment. The 600 nurses and support staff even have something of a running competition, Addeo said: Memorize each of the 300 doctors’ names, specialties and floors so they can match any patient to any doctor. Although the care center’s resources play a significant role in its success with patients, she added, the staffers are the real key to quality health care. “I’m incredibly proud of this beautiful, wonderful facility,” Blakeman said. “But more importantly, the people that work here that provide health care to our whole population.”

Kindergarteners learn all about dinosaurs Students at Franklin Square’s John Street School learned about dinosaurs during math and science experience week with hands-on activities and experiments. Kindergarten students learned about dinosaurs from a representative from the Long Island Science Center. They viewed replicas and actual fossils of dinosaur eggs, teeth and a skull. Students saw how large a dinosaur footprint would be, stepping on the print together as a class to represent the size. Using a dinosaur tooth, each student created their own tooth replica to take home. Throughout the week of Jan. 29 through Feb. 2, each grade level participated in a different math or science activity. — Nicole Wagner

The Medicaid Asset Protection Trust (MAPT) For those who don’t qualify for long-term care insurance or can’t afford it, the Medicaid Asset Protection Trust (“MAPT”) can protect your assets from the high cost of long-term care in your home or in a facility. The MAPT sets up two roadblocks that Medicaid cannot break through. First, you cannot be your own trustee. Usually, one or more of the adult children act as trustee. Secondly, you, as the creator of the MAPT, are entitled to the income only, not the principal. If you don’t have access to the principal (your home or other assets in the trust), then Medicaid doesn’t have access to the principal. The MAPT makes good sense for assets you’re not going to spend – like your home and investments you’re not using. As we often say, if you don’t need it to live on, then why not protect it for your family instead of losing it to pay for long-term care. When you apply for Medicaid for nursing home care, if you’ve transferred any assets in the past five years, you are ineligible. The full protection of the trust only takes place
five years after you establish the trust. This is why you want to plan ahead. Under new rules commencing April 1, 2024, you will also need to have the MAPT in place two and half years in advance to be eligible for care in your own home. The MAPT does not affect your lifestyle. You still receive your pension, social security checks, minimum distributions on your retirement plans, interest and dividends. You have the exclusive right to use and enjoy your home. You keep all your property tax exemptions. You can sell your house, buy a new one, or invest the proceeds, which remain in the trust, still protected. The MAPT is also flexible. You can change trustees and you can change who you leave it to. Although the MAPT is an irrevocable trust, not only does it have the flexibility mentioned above, but in New York there is a mechanism to revoke an irrevocable trust. All that is required is for all parties, you and your children, to sign. We even have a workaround just in case one of the children refuses to sign.

Student recognized for community service at school. “I was always for advocating for saving lives,” Wong said. “That was always a big part for me — especially since certain diseases run in my family, such as cancer and things of that sort. People need blood every day. It’s very much in dire need, especially around the winter season.” According to the New York Blood Center, winter is a difficult time to collect blood, because planned vacations and cold weather inhibit people’s motivation to donate. Someone in the United States needs blood every two seconds, according to the American Red Cross. Cancer patients, trauma patients, sickle cell patients, burn patients, organ transplant patients and those with chronic diseases all need donated blood. Wong has been rescuing cats in her neighborhood since 2018, and it all started with a black cat with white toes that she named Mittens. From then on, she encouraged her whole family to get involved. She fed Mittens milk and cat food, and one day she had kittens. “Then I realized there was growth within the cat population within Elmont, and I thought, we definitely need to help these kitties,” Wong said. “I didn’t like the state that they were in.” She even asked her father to build a shelter outside so stray cats had a place to go in cold weather. Tiffany and her dad have helped at least a dozen stray

She believes that spaying and neutering them is essential. “As an animal lover myself, it really breaks my heart to see animals in pain or struggling throughout the community,” Wong said. “Especially knowing that I can put my best foot forward and help

At the high school, Wong is a captain of the track and cheerleading teams, a member of the Key Club and the Mock Trial Club, and a member of national senior, Mu Alpha Theta and Rho Kappa Social Studies honor societies. She is also vice president of Leading Ladies, in which she and others help young women of color to find themselves and expand their knowledge of other people’s experiences and how those experiences may affect them in their daily lives. She will be recognized for her community service at the Nassau Board of Cooperative Education Services’ Education Partners Awards Gala on May 7. She was nominated for the honor by Elmont Parent Teacher Student Association President Lynette Battle and Assemblywoman Michaelle Solages. Battle describes Wong as “out front and present” in Elmont. “She is very active inside school and out,” Battle said. “She is very visible in the community, and she is a role model to a lot of kids.” Wong said she is honored to have the opportunity to represent her community at the gala. “I’m truly thankful for this opportunity,” she said, “and I hope to further expand upon my talent and my knowledge of education and continue to give back to the Elmont community.”

All has gone well for the Elmont girls’ basketball team. At 12-6 overall following a 61-29 home win over Conference AA-2 foe Carey last Friday afternoon, the Spartans sit comfortably with just two games remaining on their schedule. However, comfort won’t do much good in the Nassau County Class A playoffs, head coach Pete Lawson says. “They’re just having fun, but I’m like, ‘Let’s get at least a couple more,’ then we can smile and have some fun,” Lawson said. “I’m happy that they’re having fun, but this could really be fun if we were to extend the winning and go far in the playoffs.” Sophia Manchoon (17), Kayla Latiff (16) and Charlotte Hines (14) all scored in double figures in Elmont’s victory over Carey. It was the Spartans’ 11th win in their last 13 games. With the playoffs just around the corner, Lawson is digging in and isn’t allowing any detail to go overlooked. “You really have to be detailed and thorough,” Lawson said. “It’s turning the sheet of paper once in a while instead of skimming the page. The girls are understanding to go on a winning streak that it’s going to take what it has to take. They’re not going to complain about getting home later. They’re willing to accept the fact that this is what it takes. We’ll stay the extra hour and go home later.” Lawson’s demanding style plays perfectly for Cassidy Grannum. With a relentless attitude on and off the floor, the senior guard is Elmont’s heart and soul. “It’s a good thing when you annoy the coach with a lot of questions because she’s very detail-oriented,” Lawson said. “Whether it’s games, practice, pickups, mentorship or going to 7-Eleven to get snacks, she is on it. She has qualities that are going to transfer over to life. “She wants to guard the [best] girl on the team. With the work in so many areas, I told her, based on her effort, her energy is going to win games for us. She has been doing it even though it doesn’t show up in the stats. She’s very key and instrumental in all our games.”
Terry Uellendahl/Herald
Charlotte Hines, who had 14 points in last Friday’s victory over Carey, and the Spartans have captured 11 of their last 14 games. The approach from Lawson has also awoken Kaitlyn Paulino. A seldom-used player last season, the junior has made herself into a key piece in the rotation. “Kaitlyn Paulino, to me, is one of the biggest success stories of this team,” Lawson said “She’s shown what hard work really means and what being a part of a team means. I can’t take her off the court. Her energy, intensity and skill are needed. For the rest of this season and the playoffs, you’re going to be talking more about her.”
Although their final two games both come against opponents beneath them in the standings in Great Neck North and Calhoun, Lawson is wary of the Spartans falling into a potential trap. He wants to use the final matchups to fortify everything Elmont has worked for this year as it rolls into the playoffs. “I try to sell the girls on believing in themselves,” Lawson said. “To be a special player or a special team, it takes more than just techniques. It takes confidence.”

Long Island needs more volunteer firefighters By BRANDON CRUZ bcruz@liherald.com
Long Island is in dire need of volunteer firefighters. Here in Nassau County, for example, just 6,000 men and women serve local departments — not enough to serve a county of nearly 1.5 million residents. “It’s a crisis,” said Michael Uttaro, Nassau County’s fire marshal. The county saw a large boost in volunteer firefighters just after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, reaching more than 10,000 strong at its peak. But that enthusiasm has since dwindled, Uttaro said, and protecting communities depends on those willing to step up and defend it. “We had a little bit of a spike where people wanted to help their communities,” he said. “They were inspired and had feelings of patriotism. That has waned off. And it’s waned off significantly.” But not all is lost. Edward Tase Jr., president of the Firefighters Association of the State of New York, believes it is up to local fire departments — and ultimately the state — to help fix this issue and raise volunteer numbers. In fact, the state firefighters association is calling on Gov. Kathy Hochul to properly invest in recruitment efforts. Otherwise, the volunteer-based system that has always fueled Long Island may

Donald Corkery, president of the New York State Association of Fire Districts, shares a study from the state firefighters association at the Nassau County Firefighters Museum and Education Center in Uniondale, which found nearly half of New York residents are interested in becoming volunteer firefighters. eventually collapse, forcing both Nassau and Suffolk counties to move toward professional firefighters, like those in neighboring New York City. And that could get expensive. The 80,000 volunteers who staff fire departments throughout the state save taxpayers $4.7 billion each year, according to a state firefighters association study. There are 179 fire departments on Long Island — more than 70 of them found in Nassau — with all but two being volunteer. “We’re fighting with the government right now,” Tase said. “When you join as
a volunteer firefighter, you get a $200 credit on your state income tax. I’m pushing to get it to $800, and pushing for the state to understand the value that we provide.” But volunteering comes with other perks and benefits beyond the income tax credit: breaks on property taxes, grants and scholarships for free or reduced college tuition, and even retirement benefits and service pensions. “We need to do better and connect more with the communities we serve,” Uttaro said, adding that by having better
community connections, the county can not only grow its active volunteer roster, but also increase the fire department’s diversity. Although Nassau’s population is becoming more diverse, those demographics aren’t always translating over into the community fire departments. “We’re missing those folks,” Uttaro said, “and the opportunity to get them to join and let them know about the community they just moved into, and how they can help.” Another state study found that nearly half of New York residents are interested in volunteering at their local fire department — something Uttaro says he wants to capitalize on. More than “66 percent of the people surveyed said they would stop down at their local firehouse to get more information on volunteering,” the fire marshal said, “so now it is our job to roll out the welcome mat.” Regina Cabrera found her way to volunteering for her local fire department in Patchogue. And despite what some might believe about doing this kind of work, there is still plenty of opportunity to still have a life outside of the fire station. “I have a social life,” she said. “I go to church. I have a 9-to-5. I do a lot. But why not push yourself to do something? You don’t know what you’re capable of until you try.”

Mall promises open spaces, retail revival

reinvention. While the mall has undergone expansions and transformations in the past, its reuse of the space focuses more than ever on walkability and a breathable open-air experience. Building space is being scaled back to free up room for open-air amenities including pedestrian-friendly green space, more parking access, and dine-in patio options. “We’re taking down more usable retail space than we’re adding back. So, it’s addition by subtraction,” Macerich representative Eric Bunyan told brokers. “We know that we need to create an environment that is accessible, where you can park, and where the customer feels comfortable entering and exiting the property.” The revamp expects to bring more foot traffic, accommodate changing consumer needs, and spur business confidence for tenants and brokers about the prospects of setting up a retail presence.
Green Acres keeps growing
This comes at a time when malls nationwide have reckoned with the boom of online retail shopping, pandemic restrictions, a shrinking middle class, and the competitive success of large independent wholesale stores. But Green Acres has been a resiliently strong commercial hub for many
Facts about Green Acres In September 2020, the Green Acres’ Century 21 closed after filing for bankruptcy Green Acres Mall was built in 1956 and brought by Macerich in 2013 J.C.

as old department stores like Sears and Kohl’s fall while trendier retail shops like uniqlo and primark come in, the green acres mall expects to welcome an incoming assortment of new tenants with its latest redevelopment. years with a dynamic market, noted Macerich representative Dustin Rand. “Green Acres has over 20 million annual visitors and generates over 1 billion in sales,” said Rand. “You can drive virtually 30 minutes in any direction here, and you’re not going to have very many retail options. We feel that retail-
ers can open here, expand their brand presence, and increase their sales in the marketplace.” The new space will not just be eateries and traditional retail stores. ShopRite’s supermarket chain also intends to build an 80,000-square-foot store on what is now a parking space.
Green Acres expects their incoming tenant to be well-patronized by residents looking for a convenient, full-service supermarket to replace Sears as an anchor store. Macerich officials noted that while a general timeline exists on the project much depends on the pace with which they can get building approvals and code clearance from the Village of Valley Stream and Town of Hempstead. They further stated that they intend to demolish the Sears buildings by the end of the year and have the ShopRite open by 2025.

ou make choices at intersections about which way you’re going to go, and I was fortunate that I made the right choices
Former Franklin Square resident Murray Pasternack, a graduate of Farmingdale State College Class of 1960, recently donated $750,000 to the college for the ‘Murray Pasternack ’60 Finance and Trading Room’ with his life partner, Judy Berkowitz. I’ve done,” Pasternack said. “And that puts a smile on my face.” Throughout his life, Paster nack worked several jobs and pursued education in various areas. He started out as a technician working for Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation, worked several other jobs throughout Long Island and had spent ten years working as an engineer and studying economics and applied physics at Hoftsra University. In January 1972, he founded Pasternack Enterprises with $600 in California. The company supplies radio frequency and microwave components globally. Twenty years after its founding, he sold the company for $89 million. Pasternack initially started the compa-
ny to put himself through law school. He attended night classes at American College of Law between 1972 and 1976, where he earned a bachelor’s of science degree in 1974 and a juris doctor degree in 1976. From there, he became an attorney and worked in both the law and electronics business for years before he retired from both. He then started Capital Bank, which he directed from 2008 through 2017. While life took many turns for Pasternack, he believes that if people learn from their mistakes early on, they will be successful. “You make choices at intersections about which way you’re going to go, and I was fortunate that I made the right choices,” Pasternack said.

Lunar New Year feasting
Host a celebration to welcome the Year of the Snake
By Karen Bloom Super Sunday weekend is upon us. And with it, the start of the Year of the Dragon, which arrives Feb. 10. Before everyone’s attention turns to the Big Game, why not partake of some more New Year’s revelry with an Asian twist? So take out the broom and sweep away the winter doldrums with a Lunar New Year gathering. The dragon is the sixth year of the Chinese zodiac, which consists of 12 years (and 12 different animals) total. A majestic and lucky creature in Chinese folklore, the dragon symbolizes bravery, creativity and innovation. According to the Chinese horoscope, 2024 is a year full of potential and opportunities for personal growth, professional success and social impact. The dragon is also associated with one of the five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal or water. Each element gives the dragon a different personality and destiny. Actually the Year of the Wood Dragon, 2024 is also known as Yang Wood on Dragon, or Jia Chen. The fixed element of the dragon (chen) is Earth (Wu), which represents stability, honesty and loyalty. The variable element of the dragon in 2024 is yang wood, or jia, further representing growth, creativity and flexibility. The wood dragon, according to the lore, is the most creative and visionary of the dragons. They are optimistic, ambitious and adventurous — ready to explore new ideas and challenge themselves. They are also generous, compassionate, and loyal to their friends. Therefore, the Year of the Dragon in 2024 is expected to be a time of visionary leaders, innovators and problem solvers. It’s also predicted to be a great year to start new projects, explore new opportunities, and create value for yourself and others. Lunar New Year is all about spectacle, from those ubiquitous fireworks and dancing dragons, to an assortment of delectable food. That’s why it’s a holiday anyone can enjoy — and a great time to host a party. From the décor and color scheme, to the food, Lunar New Year is rich in beautiful symbols. If you’ve got a round table, this is the time to use it, because it is a sign of wholeness. Decorate it with red and gold accents to represent good luck and prosperity. During Lunar New Year, the color red is everywhere. People wear red, decorate with poems on red paper, and give children “hong bao” (or “lucky money”) in red envelopes. That’s because red symbolizes happiness, abundance and good fortune. It also symbolizes fire, which according to legend, can drive away bad luck. There are all sorts of symbolic foods, each associated with specific blessings or good luck. Noodles — in dishes such as Snake Alley Noodles — stand for longevity. Pork symbolizes wealth. A whole chicken? Completeness and prosperity. Supplement the meal with other symbolic foods, such as pot stickers or spring rolls (said to bring prosperity because they resemble gold ingots); a bowl of tangerines or oranges
(their Chinese names sound like the words for “luck” and “wealth”); fortune cookies to go with dessert — you can even insert your own customized fortunes for the year ahead. For the ultimate in a customized fortune, make homemade fortune cookies and write creative fortunes to delight and amuse your guests. And at the stroke of midnight, open your doors and windows to release the stresses of the old year.

Nassau County Museum of Art’s latest exhibition, “Our Gilded Age,” examines the appearances and the realities of an era that mirrors our own in many ways. Like the nation’s economy, American art and literature flourished during the Gilded Age. The art of John Singer Sargent, Childe Hassam, Louis Comfort Tiffany and others adorned palatial residences designed by Stanford White and Ogden Codman Jr., architect of the museum’s own quintessential Gilded Age mansion. Drawing heavily upon the local literary history of Long Island, including William Cullen Bryant, Mark Twain (who named the Gilded Age), Walt Whitman, Edith Wharton and others, the exhibition will include paintings, fashion, decorative arts including period silver and china, photographs, manuscripts, first editions and other historic memorabilia. The “Upstairs, Downstairs” approach to the life of a country house brings to life not only the storied conspicuous consumption for which the Gilded Age was infamous, but also the real lives of these many individuals who maintained the palatial estates where that lifestyle was enjoyed. On view through March 10. Nassau County Museum of Art, 1 Museum Dr., Roslyn Harbor. (516) 484-9337 or NassauMuseum.org.

Las Vegas Sands once again one of world’s most admired companies
Nicole Wagner/Herald
Franklin Square Civic Association 2024 The Franklin Square Civic Association’s board for 2024, comprised of President Phil Malloy, Vice President Jonathon Israel, Corresponding Secretary Phills-Ann O’Connell, Recording Secretary Katherine Tarascio, Treasurer Frank Culmone, and executive directors Ileana Carillo-Crane, Lisa DelliPizzi, MaryAnne Grey, Adrienne McKenna, Maryann Scatamacchia and Kristen Spielberg, was sworn in on Jan. 24 by State Senator Patricia Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick, Hempstead Town Councilman Thomas Muscarella, County Legislator John Giuffre, and Hempstead Receiver of Taxes Jeanine Driscoll. — Nicole Wagner
Las Vegas Sands — the company looking to invest $4 billion into the Nassau Hub site in Uniondale — is one of just two hotel and gaming companies named as one of Fortune magazine’s World’s Most Admired Companies. This is the 10th year the Sands has been included on the list. “Sands being included on Fortune’s list is an endorsement of our performance in delivering economic, social, and environmental value to our communities, team members and customers,” said Patrick Dumont, president and chief operating officer of Sands, in a release. “Entering 2024 with this recognition demonstrates our ability to successfully navigate change and evolution, while remaining focused on the positive impact we strive to deliver.” After exiting its Las Vegas operations in 2022, Sands has focused on reinvestment in Asia, and the development of new businesses and geographies. The company reaffirmed its commitment to Macao last year with Sands China’s pledge to invest $3.75 billion in capital and operating projects through 2032 to support Macao’s stature as a global tourism destination. Sands also is focused on continuing to propel Singapore’s growth in interna-
tional tourism with a $1.75 billion reinvestment program currently underway at Marina Bay Sands. Much closer to home, Sands looks to earn one of New York’s downstate casino licenses with a massive redevelopment of the 80-acre property where the Nassau Coliseum currently sits. It plans to build outdoor community spaces, high-end hotels, and what Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman describes as a “world-class live perfor mance venue honoring the legacy of live music” at the Coliseum. The project also is expected to include celebrity chef restaurants, convention space and ballrooms, a day spa, a swimming pool, and a health club, along with a casino. It is expected to create 12,000 construction jobs, and ultimately employ 5,000 people. As of 2022, Sands has invested $56 million in workforce development initiatives globally, while reducing its carbon emissions by 50 percent — partially affected by lower attendance at the height of the coronavirus pandemic. The Fortune designation joins other recent recognition from Newsweek as one of its most responsible companies, as well as Dow Jones’ sustainability world and North America indices.

TERMS OF SALE

Such tax liens shall be sold subject to any and all superior tax liens of sovereignties and other municipalities and to all claims of record which the County may have thereon and subject to the provisions of the Federal and State Soldier’s and Sailors’ Civil Relief Acts.
533.11 2,720.91 2,997.59 5,584.39 2,236.72 6,091.97 4,628.50 8,131.42 2,680.17 3,646.95 2,755.50 13,579.24 12,893.23 6,573.98 13,991.25
However, such tax liens shall have priority over the County’s Differential Interest Lien, representing the excess, if any, of the interest and penalty borne at the maximum rate over the interest and penalty borne at the rate at which the lien is purchased. The Purchaser acknowledges that the tax lien(s) sold pursuant to these Terms of Sale may be subject to pending bankruptcy proceedings and/or may become subject to such proceedings which may be commenced during the period in which a lien is held by a successful bidder or the assignee of same, which may modify a Purchaser’s rights with respect to the lien(s) the property securing same. Such bankruptcy proceedings shall not affect the validity of the tax lien. In addition to being subject to pending bankruptcy proceedings and/ or the Federal and State Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Acts, said purchaser’s right of foreclosure may be affected by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act (FIRREA), 12 U.S.C. ss 1811 et. seq., with regard to real property under Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) receivership. The County Treasurer reserves the right, without further notice and at any time, to withdraw from sale any of the parcels of land or premises herein listed.
The rate of interest and penalty which any person purchases the tax lien shall be established by his bid. Each purchaser, immediately after the sale thereof, shall pay to the County Treasurer ten per cent of the amount from which the tax liens have been sold and the remaining ninety per cent within thirty days after such sale. If the purchaser at the tax sale shall fail to pay the remaining ninety per cent within ten days after he has been notified by the County Treasurer that the certificates of sale are ready for delivery, then all deposited with the County Treasurer including but not limited to the ten per cent theretofore paid by him shall, without further notice or demand, be irrevocably forfeited by the purchaser and shall be retained by the County Treasurer as liquidated damages and the agreement to purchase be of no further effect. Time is of the essence in this sale. This sale is held pursuant to the Nassau County Administrative Code and interested parties are referred to such Code for additional information as to terms of sale, rights of purchasers, maximum rates of interest and other legal incidents of the sale. Furthermore, as to the bidding,
• The bidder(s) agree that they will not work with any other bidder(s) to increase, maintain or stabilize interest rates or collaborate with any other bidder(s) to gain an unfair competitive advantage in the random number generator in the event of a tie bid(s) on a tax certificate. Bidder(s) further agree not to employ any bidding strategy designed to create an unfair competitive advantage in the tiebreaking process in the upcoming tax sale nor work with any other bidder(s) to engage in any bidding strategy that will result in a rotational award of tax certificates. • The tax certificate(s) the Bidder will bid upon, and the interest rate(s) bid, will be arrived at independently and without direct or indirect consultation, communication or agreement with any other bidder and that the tax certificate(s) the Bidder will bid upon, and the interest rate(s) to be bid, have not been disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any other bidder, and will not be disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any other bidder prior to the close of bidding. No attempt has been made or will be made to, directly or indirectly, induce any other bidder to refrain from bidding on any tax certificate, to submit complementary bids, or to submit bids at specific interest rates. •The bids to be placed by the Bidder will be made in good faith and not pursuant to any direct or indirect, agreement or discussion with, or inducement from, any other bidder to submit a complementary or other noncompetitive bid. •If it is determined that the bidder(s) have violated any of these bid requirements then their bid shall be voided and if they were the successful bidder the lien and any deposits made, in connection with, said bid shall be forfeited.

PERSON TO PERSON
Never-ending excuses
D
o you often make excuses for what you did or didn’t do? If so, stop! While excuses may protect your ego, they come at the cost of acknowledging your difficulties and encouraging denial. Excuses make your perspective so foggy that you cannot see the road ahead. Hence, you don’t admit what you need to admit. And you won’t change what you’re unaware of. Though it might be painful to rid yourself of your excuses, in the long run you’ll be better off as you’ll finally do what it takes to get you where you want to be! Ted was a middle-level manager who believed he was on the fast track to success. He had a responsible job as a supervisor at a design firm. Though he had plenty of work to complete, his mind kept drifting to distractions. He even invited interruptions, such as phone calls, visitors, or sudden errands, preferring the novelty of the unexpected to the tedium of completing the task at hand. Initially, those who worked for him thought he was a conscientious,
caring man as he often said, “No matter how busy I am, I’m always available if you want to talk or need a helping hand.” They didn’t realize that these offers of help were pleas for distraction from his own work. When Ted was reprimanded for being late in handing in his paperwork, he excused himself by saying, “How could they expect be to do all that in such a short time?” After the reprimand, he said to himself, “Boy, I need to get busy on this,” but somehow, he rarely did. When he was finally let go from his job, he explained his termination as, “IT was a terrible time in the economy, so they had to let me go.” For Ted, the vague “IT” was blamed for his job loss, and he never acknowledged his own contribution. Another excuse to protect his ego. Another lost opportunity to get real with himself about his strengths and
weaknesses. Ted needed to stop making excuses and start making changes in his life that would produce positive results. To continue the luxury of excuse-making and denial would kill his dreams and hope. “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams,” said Eleanor Roosevelt. Dreams keep you young, fresh, and interested in life. But some people, like Ted, are so good at dreaming that they don’t stop to think why their dreams aren’t coming true. Hence, if you, like Ted, make too many excuses, try this exercise instead. Have an honest conversation with yourself. If you haven’t done something you said you’d do, admit it! Then if you’re feeling inadequate, scattered, fearful or depressed, admit it! If you’re disappointed in your own achievements, admit it! If you feel your relationships

are lacking intimacy, admit it! Better to work on your emotional sadness than to distort the reality you live in. When you admit the truth to yourself, do it without making the truth sound terrible. You’re not an awful person. Yes, you have faults - like all of us. Perhaps you’re lazy, scared, or scattered. Perhaps you’re overweight, disorganized, or feel like a loser. Okay, own up to where you are in life. Once you acknowledge your truth, you can begin to make changes to improve your life. In the short run, excuses may make you feel better about yourself. But in the long run, excuses rob you of a more enriching, enhancing lifestyle. ©2024 Linda Sapadin, Ph.D. is a psychologist, life coach and author who specializes in helping people overcome self-defeating patterns of behavior.

Holistic healing out for delivery on Long Island By MICHAEL DeMARCO Special to the Herald
Equipped with bare hands and a mobile massage table, 32-year-old reiki practitioner Nicholas Ryerson delivers the holistic art of energy healing to Long Island homes. Based in his hometown of Rockville Centre, Ryerson’s budding business, Nassau Reiki, aims to keep up with skyrocketing consumer obsessions for personal wellness with a vital touch. Grand View Research valued the U.S. complementary and alternative medicine market to increase 23 percent from 2024 to 2030, and valued at $22 billion in 2022. Ryerson’s business dedication, however, leans less towards dollars and more towards divinity, providing per-
sonalized at-home reiki sessions to restore the internal energy of his clients. “Reiki rests on the idea that energy imbalance is the root cause of most ailments and addresses it at its core,” Ryerson said. Reiki practitioners balance the energy of others with light hand-to-body contact, or by hovering their hands in close body proximity. Contact is made over areas of the body where a client experiences pain, illness, or discomfort, providing supplemental relief to aid one’s healing process. However, issuing reiki only accounts for half of the work. The rest of the job comes from within the receiver. “A reiki practitioner doesn’t heal,” Ryerson added. “They channel univer-

sal energy, so the patient is able to rebalance their own energy. The work being done is by the patient themself.” Long Island is growing as a hub for alternative wellness and medicine with more than 20 different businesses offering reiki sessions. Ryerson attributes the growing desire for alternative medicine to lingering dissatisfaction with traditional healthcare systems. “Modern medicine very often offers ineffective treatment causing patients to look elsewhere for help,” Ryerson said. “Reiki can treat things modern medicine fails to or struggles with.” A 2023 Edelman Trust Barometer Report found that 65 percent of people in the U.S. trust “the healthcare sector as a whole”. This outlying sector is fueling the alternative healthcare business, encouraging individuals to seek out holistic forms of supplementary treatment like reiki. Ryerson’s practice means more to him, however, than the shifting market and brings him an inner sense of peace. “The experience of reiki is the experience of love as a state of being,” he said. “Channeling the energy of the universe to relieve the suffering of others brings me closer to my divine state of being, which is love.” He currently dedicates himself to helping others, but Ryerson describes himself as a “wounded healer.” The routes of his mission began with a personal expedition for self-wellness, overcoming addiction, and mental health setbacks that paralyzed his youth. “It’s the whole reason I’m doing reiki in the first place,” Ryerson said. “I went

Bricks, too, require workmanship
Q. Why do bricks fall off a wall? I live in a brick house, and was concerned when I saw in the news recently that a whole side of condos in Suffolk County just collapsed on cars. The report said it was under investigation, but we rarely hear the answer to what they found. What could cause that, and is there anything I can do with my brick house?
Living the Life
T
A. The expression that something or someone is “built like a brick house” obviously didn’t apply in this case. You never think of brick as a weak or precarious material applied to buildings, but because brick is not structural, but rather cosmetic, attached to the rest of the face of a building with thin strips of metal from behind, if not done onte eeper correctly, the result can be just like what you saw in that news story. Unfortunately, there’s little you can do about your wall’s hidden conditions unless you open them. Sadly, there are many workers who have never had formal training in the proper application of construction materials. I noted over the years, as a volunteer mentor in several high schools, that school curriculums reduced or eliminated classes in industrial arts, automotive repair and construction technology and replaced them with computer technology and preparation for a college education. I realize this is a general statement that educators could debate and grade me on, but the simple fact is that because little or no training qualifications are required to get a contractor’s license and no formal construction education is required, poor workmanship and bad decisions, with no basis in engineering or science, are a daily occurrence, especially in residential construction. Not that everyone does a poor job, but quality control is based on pride and vigilance, not on uniformity, like you find with other skilled professions, where oversight and responsibility is strict and rampant, as in the medical field. Anybody can argue anything, but public safety should be everyone’s job, and that wall was either missing the wall ties, they were spaced too far apart, they weren’t the right kind, the wall had no spacing behind to allow trapped water to flow out, or the backup material wasn’t correctly waterproofed and thus deteriorated. It’s important that even a brick wall is handled correctly from start to finish. We hear people protesting daily for freedom from regulation, but isn’t it your right not to be subjected to a brick wall collapse that was avoidable? I speak with building and homeowners daily, and find that most, if not all, have a reasonable expectation that the work they’re paying for will be, as they often say, “perfect” or something close. When that level of expectation isn’t met, the customer is generally upset. Since the industry places responsibility on the wrong people, such as inspectors, engineers and architects instead of the last person to touch the construction, the problem is perpetual. Good luck!

orget scary movies or the end of the world — what scares almost all of us the most, by far, is getting a voicemail from a family member, telling you to call back right away because “it’s important.” My 90-year-old father did that last week, a message I got on my phone as I was walking from what had been an enlightening and productive meeting with a school superintendent. The last several months had been MICHAEL filled with diffiHINMAN cult calls like this. My mother’s cancer. My stepmother’s passing. Learning that a former colleague is gravely ill. I couldn’t begin to imagine what this call might be about. Not wanting to stress as I dialed my dad’s number, I calmed myself by joking under my breath that my parents probably went

out and got married. “Dad, it’s Mike. What’s wrong?” “Nothing’s wrong. But I wanted to let you know your mother and I got married.” This wasn’t my imagination. This was actually coming from the other end of the line. “Wait, what? When?” “What time is it now?” My dad paused for a moment. “Oh, about an hour ago.” Since my stepmother died, my parents had reconnected. My dad moved from Florida back to where I grew up in Pennsylvania late last year to be closer to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. And my mom happened to already be there, with room in her house for him to live. Although they divorced in 1998, my parents remained friends. They didn’t have to co-parent or anything — all their kids were grown. But even in the worst of times, if two people truly love
D
each other, can anything really keep them apart? That’s a mystery of love — one of many. And it was no coincidence, I’m sure, that all of this took place on the lead-up to Valentine’s Day. Not much is known about Valentine, except that he lived and died during the third century, ministering to persecuted Christians in the Roman Empire — if you can believe what Wikipedia shares. But so much of Valentine’s story is obscured by legend, and it’s really not clear what led our culture to revere him. More than 200 years after his death, Pope Gelasius I established a Feast of St. Valentine to take place on Feb. 14, to honor his martyrdom. Centuries later, Geoffrey Chaucer — the English poet who brought us “The Canterbury Tales” — wrote about Valentine in his poem “Parlement of Foules,” linking

him to romance and lovers for what is believed to be the first time. Love happens to be the language many of us — if not all of us — relate to the most. The power of love can build new worlds or destroy them — and do just about everything in between. The famed radio psychiatrist Dr. David Viscott once said, “To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.” And 20th-century philosopher Rabindranath Tagore described love as “an endless mystery, for it has nothing else to explain it.” My parents woke up one morning last week and decided between breakfast and buying some groceries that they would give marriage another go, decades after they called it quits. Love is indeed an endless mystery. But as long as it continues to bring people together — like it did my mother and father once again — keeping it a mystery is worth the price.

We must prioritize school foundation aid
he proposed reduction in foundation aid to numerous school districts across the state in Gov. Kathy Hochul’s Executive Budget is profoundly disappointing, and should concern every parent, teacher and child who values the future of our state. While the overall budget is fiscally conservative, what is most troubling is that Hochul has clearly stated that the self-created migrant crisis — which is a direct result of our open-border policies and New pATRICIA York’s sanctuary CANzoNERI-FITzpATRICk status — deserves more tax dollars than our children. The governor has allocated $2.4 billion to continue funding illegal migrants in addition to the $1.9 billion that was in last year’s budget, all of which does nothing to fix the root of the problem. School districts in my Senate District 9 are facing a potential reduction of $11 million in foundation aid, which has been sprung on every district with no warning or time to plan. This alarming yet pervasive trend of misplaced priorities and backward policymaking
has persisted in New York state for quite some time: Under one-party rule, criminals are excused for their criminality and victims are ignored; lawabiding citizens pay their taxes dutifully, only to be hit with more taxes, fees and tolls; and now, in line with this disturbing way of thinking, Hochul is seeking to take taxpayer money — our money — away from our kids. These children are legal residents of this nation whose parents contribute to our state’s economic health. To bypass their needs in favor of providing money and resources to combat an illegalmigrant crisis that has no end in sight is simply outrageous. The 9th District is home to hardworking taxpayers who are now facing some of the most significant cuts in Nassau County. The Long Beach School District, where three in 10 students live below the poverty line, would lose $4.3 million for its operating expenses under Hochul’s proposal. To make up for this loss, the district will have to do more than just lay off teachers and cut after-school programs: It may have to close one of its grammar schools. The Lawrence school district faces the most significant cut, a nearly 40 percent reduction in foundation aid
G
funding. In Nassau or elsewhere in the state, the success of local school districts is often the first bellwether of the success of a community and its desirability for prospective homeowners. Stripping funding from our schools will remove vital resources, and ultimately the school districts will have to increase taxes if they want to maintain the level of services they offer, which will in turn lower property values. This seems to be in stark contrast to the governor’s goal of building more housing on Long Island — no one will want to move into a neighborhood if the schools are underfunded and their enrollment is declining. I’m not certain that Hochul understands that these cuts will ultimately contribute to the population loss in our state. These reductions will have dire consequences for students, educators and taxpayers, necessitating layoffs of teachers and support staff, which will compromise the quality of education. Increased class sizes will diminish the quality of instruction and reduce individual attention for students. Cuts, or the elimination of academic programs and extracurricular activities, will

deprive them of well-rounded educational opportunities and necessary enrichment experiences. Here at home, even school districts that won’t see cuts are standing in solidarity with their fellow districts and their superintendents. I hosted a news conference last Thursday with the intent of putting pressure on the governor to reverse these devastating cuts, and more than 40 superintendents, Board of Education members, parents and students from districts all over Nassau County gathered to voice their opposition. It’s time to re-evaluate our state’s budget priorities, because the allocation of significant funds to address the migrant crisis while local schools face funding reductions highlights backward priorities and policy failures. Inadequate investment in education will have devastating long-term consequences for economic competitiveness and social well-being. The cuts Hochul is planning will widen achievement gaps, disproportionately affecting lowincome students and burdening families with additional financial responsibilities. I will continue to advocate for a budget that restores education funding for New York’s future prosperity and to ensure that every child has the opportunity to succeed. Patricia Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick represents the 9th Senate District.

How are you doing, Long Island?
t was a simple question: “How is everybody doing?” For any of us on social media, this is a question we see a lot. But in this particular case, it wasn’t just anyone asking. It was Elmo. You know, the famous childlike Muppet who has been a “Sesame Street” staple since 1985, and who created a mad rush in the late 1990s for toys that encouraged kids to tickle him. Like many of the characters we grew up with on the children’s education series, Elmo has his own account on platforms like Instagram and X, formerly known as Twitter. He follows just a dozen people — other characters like Cookie Monster, Big Bird and Oscar the grouch — but Elmo is followed by more than a half-million people. Many of his posts are birthday wishes to his Sesame Street neighbors like Bert’s best friend, Ernie, or sharing how much he enjoys his life in his fictional neighborhood. But Elmo also cares about those who take the time to read his occasional posts. So it was no surprise when he let everyone know “Elmo is just checking in!” And more than 200 million people saw it, with a large number of celebrities, other kid-themed characters, and even President Biden chiming in. But it was the everyday people — like us — whom Elmo noticed first. “Elmo, I’m depressed and broke,” one follower replied. “My dog passed away three weeks ago,” another follower shared. “Me and my fiancée are still grieving. Prayers would be appreciated.” “I really, really try to be happy and

I’m struggling.” After years of a crushing pandemic, ever-increasing polarization in politics, and wars raging overseas, we as a society have had better days when it comes to mental health. A gallup poll surveying more than 5,000 people in all 50 states revealed that depression is on the rise, especially in women and young adults. Women may have been hit extra hard, gallup research director Dan Witters told ABC News at the time, because many were forced to leave work and return home when their children were forced to attend school remotely. Also, many
Letters Suozzi is the right choice To the Editor: I endorse Tom Suozzi. As a congressman, mayor and Nassau County executive, he has represented a proud tradition of service. He championed better health care, gun safety laws, a reduction in the cost of prescription drugs, fair tax policy, and protection of our natural resources, such as the Long Island Sound. However, the challenges the voters in the special election on Feb. 13 now face include national controversies. We are challenged by a Republican-majority Congress that doesn’t take action on immigration policies, and which holds hostage aid to our allies. We are challenged by referendums on a woman’s right to choose and a worker’s right to strike. These national and local issues can be solved by representatives like Tom Suozzi, who have a calm voice and an open mind, and will most certainly steer us to solutions. JANET RIgER Great Neck
women were on the front lines of the pandemic in our health care facilities, seeing firsthand the horrors Covid-19 brought. Combating these feelings isn’t easy, but it is possible. The Long Island Crisis Center, for example, tackles this through its “Better Can Happen” campaign. The organization describes it as a grass-roots movement that “works to spread hope and highlight simple ways” for people to help make Long Island a better, friendlier place to live and work. It does this through five primary tenets: Know better, feel better, say it better, do better and give better. That means knowing the signs of depression or even suicidal thoughts — which you can learn more about at LongIslandCrisisCenter. org/bettercanhappen. Seeking help when you need it through resources like simply dialing 988. Finding ways to talk about mental health without attaching a stigma to it. And, of course, donating time and money to keep these services going, whether it’s with the crisis center or a number of other fantastic organizations in our community. More often than not, it starts with a simple question we don’t ask each other enough: How are you doing? “Wow! Elmo is glad he asked,” the Muppet said on X several thousand replies later. “Elmo learned that it is important to ask a friend how they are doing. Elmo will check in again soon, friends! Elmo loves you.” Just when we think we’re too old to learn something from a show that defined our childhoods, Elmo shows we have so much to learn. And we can begin by simply asking, “How are you doing, Long Island?”

t
he history of America’s relationship with the indigenous peoples who lived here before the arrival of European settlers has been fraught with sugarcoating, obfuscation, and downright ignorance. On Long Island — where so many of our communities still bear the names of the native tribes that were here for millennia — that history continues to remain hidden and untaught, despite the fact that numerous municipalities still claim to “honor” the legacy of these tribes through school wiLL team and village sHeeLine logos that feature stereotypical headdresses and depictions of Native Americans. Before the Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano first saw what would become known as Long Island in 1524, there were tens of thousands of indigenous peoples living here, largely in peaceful co-existence among 13 tribes along the coasts of the island. These were the Canarsee, Corchaug, Manhasset, Marsapeague, Matinecock, Merrick, Montaukett, Nesaquake, Rockaway, Secatogue, Setauket, Shinnecock and Unkechaug. They inhabited the land for more than 10,000 years, and were expert fishers and clammers who relied on the abundant fish, lobsters, clams and even whales to supplement the food they got through
hunting and the harvesting of corn. The various tribes had different names for the island they called home: Paumanok, Lepanehoking, Sewanhacky and Wamponomon — the last two referencing the abundance of wampum, or shells, from local clams used for decoration or currency. The tribes themselves were closely related to several different nations from the surrounding land, with the majority of the western Long Island tribes speaking Algonquian dialects. The Algonquian people, at their height, stretched up and down the northeastern United States and into Canada. Their people, traded goods and culture traveled from Lake Superior to the Long Island Sound. The indigenous people of eastern Long Island spoke a Lenape-Munsee dialect, showing their connection to the Lenape communion, a group of hundreds of tribes stretching from delaware to the Hudson Valley. Through their Lenape heritage, the eastern Long Island tribes were linked to the Powhatan Federation, famous for the daughter of one of their chieftains, Pocahontas, and their relationship with the Jamestown colonists. In addition to the sustenance they acquired from the animals and crops of the region, the various tribes were also accomplished artists and musicians, particularly with the use of wampum shells for decorative pieces, and weaved elabo-
i
rate and finely made clothing and blankets. They also made ornamental pottery, stamped with decorative designs, and traded these goods across the Sound and along the East Coast. Since the beginning of white settlement on Long Island, roughly 90 percent of native people have been killed — either intentionally or incidentally — by colonists, through everything from violence to disease to loss of native wildlife and land displacement. The majority of tribes disappeared from Long Island before the Revolutionary War, and in the centuries since, a number of American historians have attempted to whitewash the presence and impact of Native Americans here. despite this, they still played a key role in Long Island’s early history, particularly in the close relationship between the Montaukett and the English settlers of what is now Suffolk County. When Long Island became a center for the whaling industry in the 18th and 19th centuries, many natives were hired for their bravery, strength and long history of whaling in their respective cultures. A Shinnecock man named Eleazar was the first Native American to enter Japanese territory while serving as a crewman aboard the whaling vessel Manhattan, which anchored in Tokyo Bay while on an expedition in 1845. Nowadays, there are only two reservations for indigenous tribes on Long Island
t’s our duty, as Americans and as human beings, to honor native tribes’ heritage.
Letters The blame lies with the Palestinians To the Editor: For many years, the Palestinian Arabs have played the victim card, and now they have the new audience they crave because their old friends have gotten the message. Their new audiences is the Americans, who are gullible, ready to listen and repeat their lies and distortions. They don’t want you to know they’re pariahs in much of the world, and especially among other Arabs. They accuse Israel of being like the Nazis, but it was the Palestinian Arabs who were Hitler’s allies. They won’t tell you that Kuwait, who had given them sanctuary, banished 250,000 of them after the Kuwaitis discovered that the Palestinian Arabs’ sympathies were with Saddam Hussein. The Jordanians, whose country was carved from the “Palestine Mandate,” controlled the West Bank for years. They didn’t create a Palestinian state then because they knew what terrible neighbors they would be. After its 1967 victory, Israel pleaded with Egypt to take back control of Gaza. No way! was the very fast response. Lebanon will not permit Palestinian Arabs to leave the 12 functioning refugee camps on its land. It will not let them assimilate into its culture, fearing how disruptive they are.
— the Shinnecock Reservation, in Southampton, and the Poospatuck Reservation, in Mastic. The descendants of many of the tribes still live throughout the United States, forced to occupy reservations as far from their homeland as Oklahoma. This is just the tip of the iceberg of native Long Island history and culture. The best way to honor them and their legacy is by educating ourselves on their history and finding ways to support the descendants of these tribes, whose land we now live on. Anyone interested in preserving and honoring native culture can promote and patronize indigenous-owned businesses and places that educate on the history of the local tribes — such as the Shinnecock Nation Cultural Center and Museum, in Southampton — and support increase funding for local school districts to include academic courses and cultural opportunities so our children understand the peoples who lived here before their ancestors. While we may not have been taught much about them, the native tribes of Long Island are an integral part of our communities’ history. It is our duty — as both Americans and human beings — to not only honor their heritage, but also to uplift their voices and educate ourselves on their proud history and tradition. Both because it is the right thing to do, and because there is still so much for us to learn.

Framework by Mallory Wilson
The Palestinian Arabs have started war after war, lost them all and are still crying “Foul!” They charge Israel with apartheid in the West Bank, but conveniently disregard the fact that their prospective charter calls for an Arab country where no Jews would be allowed. On Oct. 7 they beheaded children, raped women, killed participants at an outdoor concert, slayed 1,200 innocents and took more that 200 hostages. But they say they themselves are the victims — of genocide, no less. They make no connection between the attack on innocent Israelis and the fact that Israel has a right to defend and protect itself. We know they are manipulative and delusional, using the U.N. as their GoFundMe, but it has gotten out of hand. They Palestinian Arabs don’t want a state. That takes effort, labor, brains, determination, guts and responsibility. Israel and the U.N. built most of the housing in Gaza, and the U.N. provides food, fuel and other necessities, while the Palestinian Arabs contribute nothing. They claim no knowledge of the hundreds of miles of sophisticated tunnels beneath their streets, homes, hospitals, mosques and schools. They were shocked! Until they knew it was time for them to call for a ceasefire. Their former allies know the deadly games they play. How long will it take the Americans to wise up? The clock is ticking.
