Feeding the hungry

St. Andrew’s Lutheran donates one ton of food By liSA MARGARiA lmargaria@liherald.com

West Hempstead’s St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church has an active ministry that is committed to helping people in need of food, and the efforts have aided many, with donations totaling over a ton in 2021. Throughout the year, St. Andrew’s collaborates with other ministries, such as Grace Lutheran Church’s New LIFE Center pantry in

Uniondale, the Interfaith Nutrition Network in Hempstead and the New York Racetrack Chaplaincy at Belmont Park in Elmont, and holds its own food collection at the church and through church events. The racetrack chaplaincy serves Belmont Park, Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens and the upstate Saratoga Race Course stable workers and their families, offering children’s enrichment, social service, educational and recre-

ational programming as well as non-denominational religious services. “I read that the only miracle that occurred in all four gospels was Jesus’ feeding of the 5,000, and that just, to me, seemed very symbolic,” said Jeff Berbert, president of the St. Andrew’s church council. “It just became very important to me to feed people.

Malverne, W. H. schools mask-up, for now By ANNEMARIE DURKIN adurkin@liherald.com

A state mandate requiring masks be worn in schools and other indoor public places is back in effect for the time being, after an appellate judge on Jan. 25 suspended a decision by a Nassau County judge, who ruled it illegal. Thousands of Long Island students returned to their schools under masking requirements on Jan. 26, amid a controversial court battle over whether they must continue to do so during the Covid-19 pandemic. Brooklyn Appellate Justice Robert J. Miller imposed a “stay,” or temporary suspension, on a decision made the prior day by State Supreme Court Justice Thomas Rademaker in Nassau, who ruled that the state school mask mandate was illegal. As a result, many Long Island school districts declared mask-wearing optional on Tuesday, Jan. 25. But the next day, students were again required to wear them. In Malverne, students continued to wear masks regardless of the questions surrounding the governor’s mandate. The district’s current Covid-19 guidelines defer to the state’s recommendations, as they are updated. This means students and staff are required to wear masks while indoors on school grounds. “I feel that our district has gone way too far in their policies and way too much has been taken from our children,” said

A stAtE MANDAtE requiring masks be worn in indoor public places, including schools, was upheld on Jan. 25 after a judge’s ruling determining the ‘unconstitutional’ nature of the mandate was made a day earlier. Brian Connor, a father of three children who attend Maurice W. Downing Primary School. “Our superintendent keeps saying she is ‘ignoring politics’ and ‘following science.’ I have no idea what that means.” Dr. Lorna Lewis, superintendent of Malverne schools, sent an email on Jan. 25, updating the community on the district’s plans for Covid protocols. “The district will remain masked until infection rates in the community decline to the extent they were in April of last year, when we made the masks optional,”

the email read. “When we say safety is our priority here in Malverne, we mean it.” As of Jan. 27, about 20 percent of Covid-19 tests performed on members of the Malverne district came back positive over the prior 14-day period. The next day, Gov. Kathy Hochul extended a mandate requiring people to wear masks in indoor public places for two more weeks, unless the location requires them to show proof of vaccination to enter. The mandate covers restaurants, stores, gyms, theaters and other businesses.

West Hempstead has maintained the same Covid-19 protocols since the start of the school year when a reopening plan was released. “Whether instruction is provided inperson, remotely or through some combination of the two, schools have an important role to play in educating and communicating with school communities about the everyday preventive actions they can take to prevent the spread of Covid-19,” West Hempstead’s website reads. The district’s Covid-19 guidelines explain prevention of infection is accomplished by following the recommendations of health authorities, which include health checks, healthy hygiene practices, social distancing, personal protective equipment (PPE) and cloth face coverings, management of sick people and cleaning and disinfection. “As you may be aware, yesterday (Jan. 24), a Nassau County Supreme Court judge issued a ruling that the current statewide mandate ordering students and staff to wear masks in schools is unconstitutional and cannot be enforced,” Dan Rehman, superintendent of West Hempstead Schools, said in an update on Jan. 25. “The Appellate Division granted an application by the Department of Health and the Governor’s office, staying the decision of the Supreme Court judge pending further proceedings…as a result of this decision, the mask mandate remains in effect for schools across the state.”

February fun at Deesigned by Me By LiSA MArGAriA lmargaria@liherald.com

Franklin Square resident Diana Conforti-Zanelotti will open a pop-up ‘She Shed’ in Sage & Angie’s Boutique, a West Hempstead store, to instruct a slate of fun art workshops, such as crocheting, glass art and sign making throughout February. Zanelotti began leading crafting parties by teaching friends to crochet blankets and make other crafts. By word of mouth, her in-house crafting classes gained popularity, where she instructed parties for friends of friends and eventually, restaurants and businesses, including The Inn at Milleridge in Jericho, where she has taught holiday crafts like wreath-making in 2018, 2019 and 2021. She officially started her crafting business in 2018. Deesigned By Me — uses an extra ‘e’ because her nickname is ‘Dee.’ “It was definitely something that I wasn’t expecting to be where it’s at four years ago,” Zanelotti said. “It’s been growing ever since then.” She lives in walking distance to the Sage & Angie Boutique, at 235 Nassau Blvd., which is owned by Sagine Pierre. Zanelotti held crafting parties there in November and December of 2021. “I’ve been looking for a place to open up my own, what I call, a ‘She Shed,’” Zanelotti said. While she was instructing a crafting party at Sage & Angie’s Boutique, Pierre overheard Zanelotti sharing her dream of

And I was like, yes!” Zanelotti said. Deesigned By Me will continue to do inhome visits but will also be opened as a pop-up She Shed inside of Sage & Angie’s Boutique for three months. Zanelotti will

use the opportunity to trial West Hempstead as a headquarters for her business and decide if Deesigned will be successful in its own location. “With her guiding you step by step and really working with you one on one,” Pierre said, “we have not had anyone, at least in the classes that she hosted here, that didn’t find it very easy to do and

enjoyable.” “She [Zanelotti] is very professional and a fun person to help you make crafts,” Amanda Grassi, Zanelotti’s friend and returning Deesigned client, said. “She doesn’t get annoyed if you mess up and she makes it like it was part of the craft.” Zanelotti speaks with class participants during instruction, making them comfortable, getting to know them and offering help as they craft. “One thing that I get from everybody is that I’m very patient with them,” Zanelotti said, so I guess kindness really goes a long way.” The first Deesigned class will be a chunky-blanket crochet class on Feb. 4 at 6 p.m. for $65. Zanelotti will instruct a kidfriendly class on Feb. 5 at 4 p.m. for $30, where participants can create mosaic glass art atop a template and seal it with epoxy inside of a shadowbox. Then on Feb. 11 at 6 p.m. for $45, there will be a wooden sign personalization class. Just in time to make a gift before Valentine’s Day, participants can make glass art mosaic coasters for $45 on Feb. 12 at 4 p.m.. If you are unable to make it to the glass art instruction on Feb. 5, there will be another chance to make the same type of creation on Feb. 17 at 6 p.m., where there will also be 15-minute private psychic readings by Mickey, spiritual advisor of Long Island. The Feb. 17 class will be $70 and requires a $20 sign up deposit to reserve a spot for a reading from Mickey. The price of any crafting material used during instruction is included in the price of each class.

News briefs As residents prepare to dig out from the heavy snow brought on by the recent winter storm, Supervisor Don Clavin and members of the Hempstead Town Board are issuing a reminder that shoveling can be hazardous and pose health risks if proper precautions are not taken, and urge residents to follow these safety tips:

Courtesy Steven Burke

Steven Burke Snowplowing on Jan. 29 after the winter storm that blanketed Nassau County with over 8 inches of snow. ■ Take frequent breaks and catch your breath.

■ Stretch out your arms, legs and back before heading outside. ■ Avoid eating right before shoveling. ■ Avoid smoking while shoveling. ■ Shovel slowly and push the snow more frequently than lifting it. If you do lift, lift small amounts at a time, and lift with your legs not your back. ■ Stay hydrated: Drink water before, during, and after shoveling. Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages before and immediately after shoveling.

■ Pay attention to the heart attack warning signs (according to the American Heart Association): frequent discomfort in the chest, pain in one or both arms, back, jaw, neck or stomach, and breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness. If you experience any of the symptoms listed above, call 9-1-1 “Sometimes when you are shoveling and clearing snow, you can over-exert yourself without realizing it,” Clavin said. “Please keep these safety tips in mind as you clean up after this major winter storm.”

Hempstead Town appointed John J. Reinhardt III, Laura Ryder and Joe Baker to represent the Town of Hempstead on the South Nassau Water Authority District Board on Jan. 26. The South Nassau Water Authority is an independent body, which has been created by the State Legislature, will oversee a district that currently receives water service through the private utility New York American Water. New York American Water, the private water provider that was recently sold to Liberty Utilities, has drawn the ire of frustrated ratepayers who have been paying outrageously high rates compared to those served by municipal water providers. Reinhardt III is the Commissioner of the Town of Hempstead’s Department of Water and manages all aspects of the town’s municipal water operations, which serves over 37,109 customers across America’s largest township. Ryder is a trustee on the Lynbrook Village Board, a community leader serving in various organizations, including as a member of the American Water Company Outreach Committee from 2018 until 2020. There she has served as an advocate for fellow residents and providing information on private water utility to the community. Baker is a longstanding community leader and business owner and founder

and president of the South Merrick Community Civic Association. Baker also serves on the Merrick Chamber of Commerce, the Historical Society of the Merricks and the Police Commissioners Community Council. While announcing the members of the South Nassau Water Authority, Supervisor Clavin and the Council Members renewed their call for the Governor and the South Shore’s State Senate representatives to provide fair and adequate funding for costs associated with the establishment and operations of the new independent body. The members noted that the North Shore Water Authority, which represents over 5,000 American Water Customers, receives $1 million annually in state funds, while the South Shore Water Authority, which represents over 110,000 customers, receives no funding under the bill approved by the state Legislature and signed into law by the Governor in November of 2021. “Tens of thousands of residents in my Councilmanic district and in other communities served by New York American Water have been unfairly ripped off for years by paying outrageous rates for subpar service,” Councilmember Chris Carini said. The three members representing the Town of Hempstead on the South Nassau Water Authority board starting Feb. 1.

The Malverne boys’ basketball team hit a bump in the road in its quest for another conference championship last week, but Trey Robinson made sure the Mules avoided a pothole. Two days after a disappointing loss to Conference BC-leader Friends Academy, Robinson led a second-half rally that was needed for host Malverne to get by twowin East Rockaway 55-41 on Jan. 27. It was the Mules’ 11th win in 12 games and kept them one game behind Friends for first place at press time. Malverne (11-2, 8-2 Conference BC) led 10-5 after the first quarter, but the Rocks scored six of the first eight points of the second to close to within one. Farvens Ulysse finished off a 3-point play with 2:39 left for a 19-15 left, but East Rockaway kept the Mules scoreless for the remainder of the half and got two baskets by Chase Vertuccio and a pair of foul shots by Tyler Hyland with less than 10 seconds left to take a 21-19 advantage into the break. The Rocks made the home crowd even more nervous after Hyland’s 3-pointer made it 26-21 early in the third, but Malverne exploded for a 13-2 run that gave them a 36-27 lead entering the fourth. Robinson had six points, Joshua Croom drilled a 3-pointer from the top of the key and Keondre Greene hit a pair of jumpers to key the surge. Robinson added seven more points in the final session to finish with 17, despite sitting out the second quarter after picking up two fouls in the first. “We’re winning, but we’re struggling,” said assistant coach Walter Aksionoff. Against Friends Academy, Robinson tried to help erase a 10-point fourth quarter deficit in the fourth quarter by collecting 11 points in a six-minute span that brought the Mules to within 64-60 with two minutes left, but the Quakers answered with a four-point play to put the game away. Robinson finished with a season-high 32 points. “We had every opportunity to knock off Friends,” Aksionoff said. “Certainly,

I preach this every day. You win with defense, and you win with shooting foul shots.” The 6-foot-7 Robinson is averaging just over 16 points a game and has been the Mules’ top scorer seven times this season. “Trey has to come every day,” Aksionoff said. “He’s got to come to play every quarter. But he goes in and swung [his arms] and all of a sudden, he’s sitting

down because he got dopey fouls. I just say to him, ‘Let the game come to you.’” Blagrove is averaging just under 14 points a game and Ulysse is scoring at just over 10 point a clip. Malverne was supposed to visit Locust Valley last Friday, but the impending snowstorm postponed the contest until this Thursday. As a result, the Mules now have three games in each of the last two weeks of the regular season.

O’side-born author pens seven-book saga After he wrote a second book a year later, it landed him an agent, which got him a shot at pitching to publishing houses. Dank could not find a publishing house that would pick up the series midway through, so the author got the idea to rebrand the story, change his pen name and scrub his old series off of the internet. It worked, and publishing house Speaking Volumes awarded him a three-book-deal. Rejuvenated from the success, Dank wrote the third in the trilogy and in a “blitz of creativity,” he produced another three that also got picked up by Speaking Volumes. The first book, “Beneath the Veil,” took him two years to write before it became available on Amazon in June 2020. His writing has gone into hyper speed, as the soon-to-be released seventh entry was written in 19 days. Dank follows in the school of Dan Brown’s “The Da Vinci Code,” though on a shorter, more episodic adventure. The main character of “Into the Rabbit Hole,” Harvard medical student Graham, bears some influence from the protagonist of Brown’s famous series, though Dank said he likes his characters to be young and sarcasticHe added that he enjoys including cryptograms and anagrams in his series, as well. What was a one-off book that became a trilogy and now has a seventh book soon to released, and it may soon have an eighth entry. Dank has also expressed interest in penning a children’s book based in

Author Micah Dank said he thought that he might one day be well known in media, but he never expected he would be seven books into a series on astrotheology. After growing up in Rockville Centre, devoting himself to the stage, Dank found meaning in the zodiac and connections he saw in the Bible, and decided to write about them. Dank, 38, who lives in Baldwin, has been rapidly producing new entries as part of his series “Into the Rabbit Hole” over the past two years. Finally, after finishing his seventh entry, “The Unbegun”, which is to be released in March, and appearing on more than 200 micah podcasts to talk about his interest in astrotheology, which is the worship of the stars, individually or together as the night sky, the planets and other heavenly bodies, Dank has had a chance to reflect on how he got to this point. He graduated from South Side High School in 2001 and went on to initially study acting at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Manhattan. “I was an acting major, but I realized when I got there that the acting classes I was taking were nowhere near as good as the ones I had already taken,” Dank said. “So I switched my major to English, thinking it would help me read scripts better. I wouldn’t be as big of a reader and I wouldn’t have such a breadth of topics that I talk about in my book series if that didn’t happen.” Dank was born in South Nassau Hospital, now called Mount Sinai South Nassau. His family moved to an apartment complex on Maple Avenue in Rockville Centre before his 1stt birthday. Dank trained to be an actor, and his parents worked hard to afford to put him through the academy, at which he studied for three years while also attending South Side High School. The academy, which draws in young actors from across the world, had a very intensive curriculum. Dank enrolled in a summer program at the school, where he learned and performed for five days a week and seven hours a day. Dank attended college at SUNY Albany, but transferred to Hunter College after his parents separated, where he earned an English degree in 2006. Dank credited his 12th grade English Russell Reed at South Side with pushing him onto the path of being a writer and eventual published author. “A lot of people hate reading growing up until you’re old enough to realize you can read what interests you,” Dank said. While attending SUNY Albany, Dank made a decision that would solidify him eventually becoming an author. A job hunt followed, which Dank described as difficult since he was not taken by anything straight away. He was accepted into Long Island University’s masters’ program for English education, but just before he was going to enroll, the market crash of 2008 occurred. Instead of taking out loans dur-

ing that financially perilous time, he got a job at World Courier, a medical logistics company. In 2012, Dank left his job at World Courier to move to Boston. He fell down his first “rabbit hole “while there, as he occupied his time navigating videos on astrotheology on YouTube. “I came across one video with a guy who was applying the zodiac to events from the Bible that made a lot of sense to me,” Dank recalled. “It was my ‘aha moment. I grew up in a very religious household and never took to it, but I got into this and’ it answered all my questions.” That’s when Dank decided he would write a book about his new interest. As a fan of George Orwell Dank during his college years, Dank was inspired to write in fiction. “I realized that if you want to reach a lot of people, you don’t write a non-fiction book because that pigeonholes your audience,” Dank explained. “You write fiction books and you tell the truth in it.” Dank wrote his first book, titled “Decoding the Phoenix,” in 2017. He selfpublished after failing to find a literary agent and the book “didn’t really do well at all,” he said. Though he was disappointed, one of his friends contacted him and encouraged h him to continue the series.

W.H. Lutheran church continues food drive bread’— so we try to give bread to people.” The racetrack chaplaincy has a year-round, weekly food pantry and an annual Thanksgiving program to which St. Andrew’s has donated since 2015. The church collected and donated 200 bags of rice to the chaplaincy’s Thanksgiving program last fall, and has contributed to its pantry as well as other programs. “We are very grateful for our long-term partnership with St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church in West Hempstead, of which I am a member,” said Eleanor Poppe, head of the chaplaincy’s feeding ministry. St. Andrew’s annual summer Fill This Van event, at Cherry Valley Marketplace in West Hempstead, is one of its most successful food collection efforts, which Church member Dr. Cara Donaldson came up with more than five years ago. Last summer, the Fill This Van campaign was organized by the church’s women’s group, Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. The church rents a van for the

day, and fills it with food that shoppers donate on their way out of the store. “It’s so much fun,” Robertson said. “We had a sign printed … and we ask people if they go into the store, ‘Can you donate something?’ That was in July … and that event alone brought in 1,172 pounds of food” — more than half of the church’s total for the year. Even amid Covid shutdowns, St. Andrew’s continued collecting food for hungry people — which was needed more than ever, Robertson said. Even when church services were virtual or socially distanced, members continued contributing to the food collection box, and organized monthly food drives. “It’s just an active ministry that we keep up, and we’re very committed …,” Robertson said. “The president of our council has made it a big mission of our church to try and feed the hungry.” St. Andrew’s plans to continue its efforts to help those in need in 2022. The ministry is planning another food drive for February or March, involving its youth program.

LION & PETA protest against animal experiments continued from front page with fake jumping spiders and wooden mechanical snakes, the monkeys respond by freezing, turning away, shaking their cages or showing signs of submission.” On its website, the National Institute of Mental Health, where Murray conducts experiments, states, “Dr. Murray’s laboratory studies the neural basis of learning, memory, emotion and response selection, with two main areas of focus. The first of these two research programs involves the independent mnemonic contributions of the different medial temporal lobes structures, the extent to which different medial temporal lobe structures must interact in storing information and their interaction with the prefrontal cortex,” the front section of the brain responsible for reasoning. “A second focus of the Murray laboratory is the neural bases of decision making,” the site continues. “This work examines the neural circuits critical for affective processing and the way in which affective information, including reward, guides response selection.” The institute concludes, “Dr. Murray’s laboratory has pioneered the use of MRIguided stereotaxic [brain] surgery, a method that has for the first time allowed examination of the selective mnemonic contributions of various medial temporal lobe structures.” DiLeonardo, who is the president of Long Island Orchestrating for Nature, or

Seven animal rightS activists were arrested after entering the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services building on Jan. 25 to protest experiments on monkeys. LION, an animal advocacy group, said animal rights activists are opposed to Murray receiving further taxpayer funding for her experiments on monkeys. According to PETA, Murray has received nearly $50 million from taxpayers since 1998. “I believe Murrays experiments to be

cruel,” said Elliot Speiser, a lifelong resident of West Hempstead and 2022 Volunteer of the Year at the Long Island Orchestrating for Nature (LION), an animal advocacy organization led by DiLeonardo. “Like humans, monkeys can form long lasting relationships, feel pain and express emotions. Murray confined mon-

keys to cramped cages and forced them to be a part of her lab projects. We as humans should strive to do better and treat all life fairly and equally,” Sepeiser, who received the distinction after recently recovering the body of a dead domestic duckling found next to a trash bin at Halls Pond Park in West Hempstead. “John Di Leonardo is a brave animal activist who isn’t afraid to give a voice to those who don’t have one, and that’s what I call a hero,” Speiser added. DiLeonardo said Murray’s experiments have subjected monkeys to “permanent and traumatic” injuries. “Elisabeth Murray’s monkey-torture laboratory has sucked up millions of government dollars, and all that taxpayers have gotten for it is a pile of dead animals,” said PETA Senior Vice President Kathy Guillermo. DiLeonardo added, “If the public knew how their money was being spent on this, they would be outraged.” Further taxpayer funding for Murray’s experiments will be considered in September, he said, calling her research “outdated and cruel.” DiLeonardo and the other six activists were charged with unlawful entry, a misdemeanor, and are scheduled to appear in court later this year. DiLeonardo said he plans to keep working to ensure Murray’s experiments no longer receive funding. “We’re going to continue standing up for these animals … this is cruel and unnecessary,” he said.

I.P. native and Elvis Duran produce Z100 doc

I My Community

By Tom Carrozza tcarrozza@liherald.com

When Island Park native David Katz left his job at Don Buchwald & Associates in 2007, it was a huge gamble for the talent agent. After 15 years at the agency whose namesake helped launch Howard Stern’s career, Katz was embarking on his own journey with the then mostly unknown afternoon D.J. Elvis Duran. Now the CEO and partner at the Elvis Duran Group, Katz is celebrating the successful venture with Duran in the upcoming documentary “Worst to First” on Z100’s rise set to release On Demand Feb. 11. Duran and Katz are excited to unveil the documentary commissioned by Scott Shannon, who helped build the New York radio giant Z100 in the early 1980s, as producers of “Worst to First.” “It’s arguably the best radio story in history because no other station has ever done that in a market like New York,” Katz told the Herald. Forty years after Shannon’s efforts began, the station is still the world leader in radio listenership and boasts the most popular morning show with Duran. The documentary sees the likes of Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Jon Bon Jovi and Joan Jett, platinum recording artist Debbie Gibson, and Shannon and Duran outline the amazing story of Z100’s renaissance. “Elvis has no fear,” Katz said of the start of the Elvis Duran Group in 2007. “It was a gamble for me because I had a steady job with about 50 clients at the agency, and here I was about to leave all that and go off with one client.” Katz, 58, grew up in the Harbor Isles section of Island Park. “It was just the most idyllic little suburb in the world,” Katz said. “No matter where I have gone in life, I have yet to come across people who have talked about their childhood the way my Island Park generation talks about their childhood here.” A graduate of West Hempstead High School in 1981, Katz then went on to attend Syracuse University’s prestigious Newhouse School of Communications. Originally, Katz wanted to call play-byplay like another Syracuse alum, Marv Albert, but migrated to the sales side of television and radio. After graduating Syracuse in 1985, he started his career in Scranton, Pa., at a TV station selling airtime before doing the same for WLIG on Long Island. Through 1990 and 1991, Katz lived in Los Angeles and traveled the country

DaviD KaTz of Island Park is set to unveil the documentary, “Worst to First,” on the rise of Z100, On Demand on February 11. selling syndicated TV shows, including “The Howard Stern Show.” While on the job, Katz met Don Buchwald, Stern’s agent, and was recruited to join his agency in 1992. “It was a remarkable thing to be on the sideline watching that,” Katz said of Stern and Buchwald’s growth. “They took over the radio world and watching them do that methodically evidently came in handy later on with Elvis and me.” Elvis Duran was doing afternoons on Z100 when he and Katz started their business partnership in 1994. Patty Steele, current co-host with Scott Shannon WCBS’s morning show, was working with Duran at the time and connected the DJ and Katz. Katz started representing Duran, Steele and many others at Z100 and began his own business within the agency to work with the next generation of radio hosts with the blueprint of how Stern and Buchwald competed and succeeded guiding him. It was that experience that Katz said helped he and Duran start the Elvis Duran group in 2007 and dominate the airwaves for the next decade plus. “I’d be lying if I told you that the day I meant Elvis Duran in 1994 that I saw in him who he is now,” Katz said. “When you’re just spinning records in the afternoons, you don’t have a lot of time to show your personality. It’s really once you get to the mornings when you get time to talk, and that’s when I started to believe he could be this superstar.”

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.

Heavy snow & wind batter Malverne, W. HempsteadBy LISA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com

The past weekend’s nor-easter along with its 45 mph winds dropped nearly one foot of snow fell on Malverne and West Hempstead and across Long Island. Malverne reported 11.1 inches of snow as of 1 p.m. on Saturday. The Department of Public Works did a great job taking care of plowing and salting, said Mayor Keith Corbett, and the village plowed and salted five times while the snow was still falling on Saturday, until nightfall. “Superintendent [Kevin] Brady and the whole [D.P.W.] crew were out early and still going,” Corbett said. The Malverne left residents a notice by voicemail on Friday evening that there should be no street parking until 5 a.m. Monday. The Malverne Fire Department put out a severe snowstorm alert on Saturday morning and emergency fire personnel were stationed at the firehouse to quickly respond to possible storm-related emergencies. Blizzard-like conditions made traveling hazardous. “Please, we urge all residents to STAY HOME and not to put yourselves, others, or our first responders at risk,” Malverne Fire Department officials posted on Facebook. “Check on your elderly neighbors and shovel the snow in time shifts or segments as to prevent fatigue or severe injury, and please take the time to shovel a 3-foot area around your fire hydrants.” The West Hempstead Fire department

reminded residents to dig out the fire hydrants. Lakeview Fire Department officials also informed residents to dig out their fire hydrants and to stay off the roads. Lakeview reported responding to several minor emergencies during the snowfall. Before the storm began, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman urged residents to remain home and off the roads. At least 80 trucks salted and plowed county roads, he said. Blakeman also advised residents to keep pets indoors and, in the case of likely power outages, to avoid fire hazards by not leaving candles unattended. Town of Hempstead Supervisor Don Clavin had crews out salting and plowing the town’s 1,200 miles of road. The storm compelled Gov. Kathy Hochul to declare a state of emergency on Friday night. The Long Island Rail Road shut down, then resumed service early Sunday morning. Nassau InterCounty Express bus service stopped running by Saturday after noon, then resumed limited service and is now fully operational. Should there still be power outages or downed wires, call PSEG at (800) 490-0075. To Report and received status updates text OUT TO PSEGLI (773454 or go online, www.psegliny.com/outages. If you live in Malverne and did not receive a call, you can opt into emergency notifications at: www.malvernevillage.org/emergency-alerts.

Q. We’re thinking about how to make our house

To place an ad call 516-569-4000 press 5

A. Depending on which way the wind blows, literally, you need to assess the types of storms and the typical direction that storms come from in your area. In the Midwest, storms generally come from the Southwest. In the Northeast, there are nor’easters and southwest storms. Nearer to the Atlantic and Pacific onte eeper oceans, storms head from offshore toward land. Florida can get hit from three directions. What you’re mainly interested in is wind resistance, but keep in mind that you may need to plan to be higher off the ground if you’re in a floodplain. The higher above ground you need to be, the greater the wind speeds will be. It’s best to develop a centrally located room with indirect air ventilation, made of either steel-reinforced poured concrete, steel-reinforced concrete panels or steel-reinforced concrete block. Plain steel can also be used, but the cost may be greater to connect everything. Brick isn’t a structural material, and individual bricks can easily be stripped and hurled like very large bullets by high winds. The more aerodynamic the surfaces of the safe room structure are, the more it will deflect missilelike materials. A round safe room is safer. Just don’t get frustrated if someone tells you to go stand in the corner. The indirect ventilation shaft can be a steel or cast iron pipe turned downward. The point is that you want a durable, indestructible pipe located away from water, gas or electric lines that, if ruptured, could kill occupants who thought they were protected. The vent should also not be pointed directly into the wind. It’s advisable to have an engineer or architect who has training in such safety issues work with you on the specifics. Building code boards have avoided setting standards, even though groups such as the American Society of Civil Engineers have been asking for standards to be addressed. It may eventually come to that, but for now there are no specific standards, mainly because different building associations lobby against them, since standards and required safe rooms would add significantly to the expense of renovations and new homes. When you consider that structural metal connectors and hurricane-resistant windows are already in the code, plus the latest increases in shipping and manufacturing costs, home construction is getting further and further out of reach of the average prospective consumer. Just adding more surface material to your floors, walls and ceilings isn’t going to help you in severe storms. Good luck.

safer from high winds. It’s old, and creaks when we get wind gusts. I looked online at safe rooms, and they’re a lot of work and cost. Is there a cheaper way to make a room — at least one room — safe to go to if we have a tornado, and can we make our house less creaky when windstorms blow?

to todAy’s puzzle

opINIoNS

he strangest clock in the world isn’t a clock. Rather, it’s a simple drawing of one, composed solely of black lines and dots against a white background. The hour hand is pointed straight up, in the 12 o’clock position, and the minute hand is only seconds away from meeting it at midnight. If the two hands merge as one, the world ends in a “civilization-ending apocalypse.” As I write this, the clock is at 1 minute, 40 seconds to midnight. The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, ScoTT started by Albert Einstein and the bRINToN University of Chicago scientists who helped build the first atomic bomb during World War II, came up with the Doomsday Clock as an urgent warning to humanity that we must reverse course and move away from nuclear proliferation before we blow ourselves to smithereens, taking the rest of life on Earth with us. The clock is reassessed and reset each January. It marked its 75th anniversary on Jan. 20. With only 100 seconds to midnight, we have never been closer to annihilation than we are now — not even during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, according to the distinguished panel of scientists, which

includes 11 Nobel Prize laureates, who have recalibrated the clock this year. The Doomsday Clock has become something of a cultural icon, referenced in novels by Stephen King and Piers Anthony, songs by the Who and the Clash, and comics such as “Watchmen” and “Stormwatch.” It should not be taken lightly, however, and it certainly shouldn’t be seen as the fictional imaginings of mad scientists. It is intended to give us a realistic assessment of our chances of survival as a species. What the clock tells us — screams at us, really — is that we must get it together before it’s too late. We must unite behind a common mission of saving ourselves from extinction. That means dispensing with wild conspiracy theories, ancient superstitions and internecine feuds and seeking science-based solutions to some of the most urgent questions and problems that our species faces, including the continuing nuclear arms race, the climate crisis and out-of-control viral invaders, a.k.a. Covid-19 and all of its many variants. Here’s what the scientists wrote in the news release announcing this year’s Doomsday Clock: “U.S. relations with Russia and China remain tense, with all three countries engaged in an array of nuclear modernization and expansion efforts — including China’s apparent large-scale program to increase its deployment of silo-

based long-range nuclear missiles; the push by Russia, China and the United States to develop hypersonic missiles; and the continued testing of anti-satellite weapons by many nations. If not restrained, these efforts could mark the start of a dangerous new nuclear arms race.” Yes, while the coronavirus pandemic has been roiling the world, the planet’s three nuclear superpowers have been steadily ratcheting up their arsenals with new, ever more deadly technologies. The military industrial complex lives, even as people around the globe are falling ill and dying of disease by the millions. You would have thought a global pandemic would bring people together behind a common cause — survival. Instead, we are more divided than ever, and rich nations continue to play a dangerous game of geopolitics. Witness what’s happening in Ukraine these days, with Russia amassing tens of thousands of troops and armaments on the Eastern European nation’s borders, appearing ready to invade for no good reason other than, it seems, Russian President Vladimir Putin wanting to assert his power and regain a modicum of the glory his nation lost with the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. Interestingly, 1991 was the year that we were furthest from annihilation over the past three-quarters of a century, when the

hile a wellknown clock nears midnight, we ratchet up nuclear arsenals.

Doomsday Clock was at 17 minutes from midnight after President George H.W. Bush and his Soviet counterpart, Mikhail Gorbachev, signed the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty to significantly reduce the number of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles in their stockpiles. As I write this, 8,500 American troops are reportedly headed to Eastern Europe, possibly to Bulgaria, where I served in the Peace Corps, Romania, Hungary and Poland, presumably as a signal to these NATO allies that the U.S. has their back. Ukraine is not a NATO member, so the U.S. is not obligated by treaty to defend its borders if it is attacked. I find it mind-boggling that Putin would bring Europe to the brink of yet another war at any time, let alone amid a worldwide pandemic. His posturing is the very definition of craven. In the U.S., we really must work to eradicate the coronavirus so we can move on to the other pressing issues of survival. We have all the tools that we need to beat Covid-19 except the political will. The clock, though, continues to tick. Now, not later, is the time to put aside our differences for the sake of humanity — for the survival of our species. Science tells us so.

Babies or bulldogs: What’s a couple to do?

hate to even appear to disagree with the pope, but not everyone wants to have children these days. Early last month, according to America magazine, a Jesuit publication, Pope Francis made a casual comment about people wanting to have pets rather than children. Boom! He unleashed a dogfight in the public square. The press went wild. The New York Times said, “Pope Scolds Couples Who Choose Pets Over Kids.” CNN blared, “Opting for pets over children is selfish RANDI and ‘takes away KREISS our humanity,’ says Pope Francis.” According to the Jesuit review, the press sensationalized the pope’s remarks that day. It assured readers that he appreciates the grace of loving a pet, but like most religious leaders, he encourages people to be fruitful and multiply. The puppy issue is a kind of red herring, pardon the cross-species metaphor. There’s the decision whether to have kids, and there’s the cultural sideshow of replac-

ing babies with puppies. Apparently, American women are choosing not to have children in increasing numbers, having nothing to do with pets. Raising a child to age 18 can cost upward of $250,000 (pre-inflation). More women want to move along unimpeded in their professions, and rise in the business world without other responsibilities. Many couples are worried about bringing children into a world fraught with conflict. The other factor playing out in our society is the humanizing of our pets. It seems to follow that if you decide not to have kids but want an outlet for your nurturing genes, a dog is a great idea. But it gets crazy, with dog strollers and individualized diets and dogs welcomed at restaurants and shops and on airplanes. Young dog owners devote the same time and attention to their animals that, in another time and place, they might have dedicated to children. Thus the papal comment on pets. With the new dogs-as-kids paradigm, many 20- and 30-somethings travel with their pets, staying at a growing selection of dog-friendly properties. The W Hotel in

New York, like other high-end places, isn’t just pet-friendly, but downright petobsessed. Bring Luke the Lab to the W and he’ll get his own bed, food, water bowl, leash, birthday cake and poop bags. I don’t have to enumerate the ways in which kids are way more trouble than dogs, do I? From teething to toilet training to teaching them to walk and talk, to braces and curfews and weed and sex: what a bother. This is not to mention tutors and religious school and the preteen years, followed by the teen years, followed by the pre-adult years, which last until age 45 or so. I speak from long experience. My dog always listens when I talk. She has never caused me a sleepless night. When I give her a haircut, she doesn’t slam the door and say she hates her life. When I give her chicken for the 60th time, it’s all good. My kids are 47 and 50. My dog is 4. As I curl into my chair at night, who’s right there, snuggled into my lap? Not my kids, for sure. My girl Lillybee never considers “moving on.” She has spurned numerous suitors, threatening to bite any hound that comes too close. The Virgin Queen, as we

pparently, more American women are choosing not to have children.

fondly refer to her, has made us her life’s work. Her devotion is undiluted by conflicting loyalties or hobbies or obsessions with travel or exercise. Can’t say the same for the kids. In the puppy-vs.-tiny human debate, in this time and place of pandemic and peril, going with a pet seems reasonable for all the reasons I mention. But the pope takes a longer and broader view, and at the end of the day, which may come at any moment, he’s right. The future of humanity doesn’t depend so much on a new litter as on a new generation. And according to the Jesuit magazine, it’s part of the pope’s job description to urge his flock to have more babies. The magazine suggests, “There is more to the Pope’s comments than what you read in the headline. It was an offhand comment (about pets), but it also reflects something he believes. And whether you like it or not, the church is probably always going to have an opinion about your personal life and your family. It’s kind of how we do things. And it’s O.K. to wrestle with that and engage with that. That’s all part of the fun.” Between the lines are the epic debates of our time. Still, I appreciate the magazine’s nonconfrontational approach to one of life’s most consequential decisions. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

Congress should support maternal health programs

.S. Sen Kirsten Gillibrand, a Democrat from New York, last week called on Congress to provide $7 million to fund evidencebased training programs to reduce implicit bias in maternal health, and $25 million to establish a program to deliver integrated health care services to pregnant women and new mothers that will reduce the inordinately large number of maternal deaths among Black non-Hispanic women. It is an urgent issue, including here in Nassau County, one that the Herald first called on government officials to address in 2019. We are pleased to see that Gillibrand has taken up the cause. Three years ago, the Herald undertook a year-long series examining racism in Nassau. We led with an exposé on issues of maternal health faced by Black women throughout the county. In particular, we looked at the group Birth Justice Warriors, founded by Hofstra University Professor Dr. Martine Hackett and the Rev. Dr. Nellie Taylor-Walthrust, a pastor and the director of outreach services for the North Shore Child Family Guidance Center, a nonprofit mental health agency with offices in Roslyn Heights, Manhasset and Westbury. Among the central issues that Birth Justice Warriors is working to address is infant mortality, which is a leading indicator of a community’s well-being, according to the Nassau County Department of Health’s 2016-18 Community Health Assessment and Community Health Improvement Plan. When children are dying in high numbers at birth — the start of life — there are probably myriad

letters Bail-reform misperceptions To the Editor: Re the editorial “Bail reform law still needs more tweaking” (Jan. 20-26): The Herald perpetuated a false narrative created by opponents of the law. Contrary to statements designed to sway the public, judges are not prohibited from setting cash bail for someone arrested for gun possession. The repetition of this misperception, common among candidates and police officials, contributes, if not causes, the “high degree of electoral support” for reforming the law. As made clear by the new law, Criminal Procedure Law 510.10(4), cash bail can be set for any qualifying felony enumerated in Penal Law Section 70.02. That section includes the felony offense of possession of a loaded firearm, a Class C violent felony. While it is true that cash bail is not mandatory for such a charge, it is also true that it never was.

other health concerns in a community. In the majority of white communities across Nassau, the infant mortality rate ranged from 0 to 3 in 1,000 births in 201416, according to the state Department of Health. Meanwhile, in most communities of color, the infant mortality rate was three to nine times that. In its annual rankings of healthiest counties in New York, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, working with data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ranked Nassau the second-healthiest of the state’s 62 counties this year. When that data is broken down into individual ZIP codes, however, a disturbing pattern is made clear in communities of color, Hackett said: Babies there are significantly more likely to die during or shortly after birth than in predominately white communities. County officials identified nine communities of color and communities with large minority populations — Elmont, Freeport, Glen Cove, Hempstead, Inwood, Long Beach, Roosevelt, Uniondale and Westbury — with measurably greater health concerns than nearby white communities. Nassau is the 13th-wealthiest county in the U.S., with an average annual household income of around $93,000, according to census data. “The affluence of the county as a whole masks the needs of these severely underserved selected communities,” the county’s report states. Taken as a whole, the infant mortality rate in these communities is “nearly double that of the rest of the county,” the report continues. The knee-jerk reaction is to blame the

discrepancy on a discrete factor like income level, according to Hackett: Women with fewer financial resources are unable to afford the same level of care that women of greater means can. But statistics tell a more complicated story. How, for example, does one explain Elmont, a solidly middle-class community of color with an annual average household income of $94,353, above the county average? It has the second-highest infant mortality rate in Nassau. Access to health care alone “is not sufficient” to explain the disparities in health outcomes, Hackett said. Bias and systemic racism also play their parts, she believes. Clearly, issues of implicit bias, and at times outright racism, come into play, even in the medical field. It’s time that the federal government study and address them so all of us can better understand the psycho-social complexities of the doctor-patient relationship that can determine maternal health outcomes. February is Black History Month. Historically, there is a great deal of mistrust in Black communities of the medical field because of past wrongs, not the least of which was the infamous “Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male” from 1932 to 1972, when Black sharecroppers with the venereal disease were left untreated to see what would happen, even after penicillin, a cure for syphilis, was widely available after 1945. The only way to build trust in Black communities is to address their issues head-on, with science-based studies and programs, as Gillibrand has proposed. Congress thus should appropriate the funds that the senator seeks.

ost New Yorkers want the same thing: a safe, affordable place to raise a family, one where our children can play outside without worry. Many of us commute to New York City, and felt safe for a period in “America’s safest big city,” thanks to the hard work of the New York City Police Department and the “broken windows” model of policing. The broken windows theory holds that visible signs of crime and civil disorder encourage further CHristopHer crime and disorder, including seriCarini ous crimes. The theory suggests that policing methods that target minor crimes such as graffiti, public drinking, trespassing and fare evasion bring an atmosphere of order and lawfulness. This model took New York City from the murder capital of the country in 1970s to record low crime rates in the early ’90s, creating a renaissance and a booming metropolitan area. New York was back, and home prices skyrocketed in Nassau County. The county’s crime

rates plummeted, and our close proximity to the city made Nassau the place to raise a family. The media at the time praised our law enforcement, our elected officials had their backs, and if you wanted to be elected district attorney, you had to be tough on crime. But something changed, and the media, and some elected officials, turned. We had grown used to our safe neighborhoods, and many forgot, or were too young to remember, the high crime of yesterday. A new movement was on its way to change our system. The first step was not enforcing low-level crimes. Some elected officials ran successfully on the platform of less enforcement. Next up were changes in Albany in criminal justice reform, often referred to as “bail reform.” This law took away judicial discretion in setting bail for misdemeanors and “non-violent” felonies, including stalking, assault without serious injury, burglary, many drug offenses, and even some kinds of arson and robbery. Stripping judicial discretion was a major shift. Judges could no longer set bail for these charges, nor could they

e face a crime wave that many fear could move east from New York City.

Letters It is also inappropriate to refer to those arrested but not convicted as “of fenders.” Though it may not be popular, there is still a presumption of innocence when bail is first set. While there may be legitimate reasons to revisit the bail statute, it is irresponsible to repeat the lies that are used to gin up public outrage. JAY K.

determine the suspects’ risk to the public or the likelihood that they would repeat the crimes. Albany passed this legislation without input from law enforcement professionals, judges or district attorneys. Lawmakers went even further, passing changes that many consider witness intimidation. What’s more, with changes in discovery laws, prosecutors must now provide to the defense the names and contact information of victims and witnesses. The defense is free to contact them, including victims of sexual assault and witnesses to gang violence. Do you doubt this causes victims and witnesses to no longer want to cooperate out of fear or intimidation? Soon the movement demonized the brave men and women of our law enforcement. Calls to “defund the police” began. It became reality when Mayor Bill de Blasio passed a budget that gutted the NYPD budget by $1 billion and disbanded the department’s plainclothes anti-crime units. The result was virtually instantaneous: Violent crime skyrocketed. Shootings, carjackings and homicides rose fast. Now we are faced with a national crime wave that has also affected New York City, not long ago that safest big city

trying to shy away from choosing/reading books that touch on the pandemic or remind us of something similar. I find my attention span wanes or my brain gets cluttered, for whatever reason. Between Covid and turning 55 next week, I guess I’m starting a “new phase” in life. I find that picking shorter books, or books that move quickly, is helpful. Not so much of a commitment on our part, and we can move on to the next thing. An author named Marie Benedict writes historical fiction, focusing on the women behind famous men. We read “The Mystery of Mrs. Christie,” a novel about the days Agatha Christie went missing in 1926. It was a shorter book with chapters that weren’t too long. I also find short stories are good for when we can’t stand anything too complicated. I would love to know what randi and her group are reading, and I look forward to her next column.

in America, but where many no longer feel safe. It feels like the Gotham of old. Many are concerned that the crime wave could move east, to our backyard. So how can we fix this? We start by electing tough-on-crime district attorneys like we did last election cycle. We must send elected officials to Albany who will demand the repeal of “bail reform,” return judicial discretion and allow victims of crime to feel protected again. We also must send representatives to Washington who will stand up for our law enforcement and change the national narrative. We must all stand up for our police officers. The anti-law enforcement, pro-criminal agenda must end. We must fund and defend our police, not defund them. We must provide the tools, funding and public support to the police to help them do the job of protecting us. It takes someone special to place him or herself in harm’s way for the benefit of others. We must defend those who protect us. The time is now, and together we can turn this around. Christopher Carini is a Town of Hempstead councilman representing the 5th District.
