Holocaust survivor earns highest honor from German government By PARKER SCHUG pschug@liherald.com

Marion Blumenthal Lazan, a longtime Hewlett resident, has received the highest honor given by the German government, for her courageous retelling of her experience of living through the Holocaust. “We’re running out of time — this is the last generation that’s going to hear this firsthand — but the questions answered and the lessons learned is what’s so important,” Lazan said. David Gill, the consul general of Germany, welcomed Lazan, 89, and about 20 of her family members and friends to his New York City apartment on Jan. 21, where he present-

ed her with a Cross of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany, given to individuals for their service to the nation. “By sharing your experience as an eyewitness and survivor of the Holocaust, you help to preserve the remembrance for further generations and contribute to the fight against anti-Semitism and to keeping the demand of ‘Never Again’ alive,” Gill wrote in the letter informing Lazan of the award. German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier selected Lazan for the award, which recognizes achievements in entrepreneurial, global, philanthropic, religious, scientific and social work, explained Eva Maria Marks, head of press at the consul general’s Continued on page 10

Lawrence Woodmere Academy alumnus Andrew Barth Feldman, a co-star of the 2023 romantic comedy ”No Hard Feelings,” will return to his alma mater for a one-night benefit concert on March 3. The Woodmere school’s auditorium was filled with excited students and staff as Feldman, a member of the Class of 2020, appeared on a large screen via Zoom on Jan. 25. “Hey, hey, everybody!” Feldman said, his greeting eliciting an enthusiastic response. “I’m bringing some friends together to put on a benefit concert of ‘13,’ the musical, here at the theater, which is a show I love so much.” The Broadway musical “13,” about a Jewish boy dealing with his parents’ divorce and his upcoming bar mitzvah, featured music and lyrics by Jason Robert Brown. All proceeds raised by the performance will benefit the performing arts program at LWA. Feldman, one of the school’s more notable alumni, is the son of Barbra Barth

Feldman, LWA’s headmaster, who died of cancer in 2019. She graduated from the school in 1982 — before the merger of the Woodmere Academy and Lawrence Country Day School — was the summer camp director from 2010 to 2019 and served as head of the school from January 2019 until she died that August. Feldman, 21, a native of Woodmere, began his acting career in musical theater in LWA’s production of “Catch Me if You Can,” and won the National High School Musical Theatre Award, also known as the Jimmy, in 2018. He was on his way to Harvard University in the fall of 2020, but deferred enrollment for a year due to the pandemic. Last year, Feldman was cast in the movie “No Hard Feelings,” alongside the Oscarwinning actress Jennifer Lawrence. Many of the movie’s scenes were filmed in the Five Towns in 2022. Feldman has also appeared in “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series,” in a recurring guest role, and on Broadway, in “Dear Evan Hanson.” LWA’s auditorium, Hessel Hall, was renamed the Barbra Continued on page 10

Gural JCC aims to boost mental health awareness By PARKER SCHUG The Marion & Aaron Gural Jewish Community Center is going extra lengths to promote mental health awareness with trainings on practical procedures to support someone struggling. The Gural JCC held two training courses and will continue offering them at the JCC and beyond. Rachayle Deutsch, the cultural arts and education director at the Gural JCC led the Jan. 24 training sessions where she taught about 10 participants how to approach helping someone suffering from mental struggles including mental illness and onset depression, anxiety and thoughts of suicide. “Sometimes it’s just a combination of factors that happen and you just start getting anxious or depressed or feeling hopeless and if you’re not speaking to anyone and it’s not addressed, it snowballs and it could actually lead to thoughts of suicide,” Deutsch said. She shared stories of situations where one thoughtful person changed the course of a suicidal person’s life, as well as an alterable formula to follow for those looking for how to support someone in this headspace.

She also spoke on the importance of discussing emotion, rather than avoiding it as a taboo subject, in order to get proper help for those struggling. A woman we’re are calling Cheryl Hoffman, as she declined to use her real name, attended the program looking for help in making sense of her emotions related to the war in Israel, while also seeking additional resources to support a family member that struggles with mental illness. “I go through these waves of I can help him and I can’t help him and I’m still trying and I lose patience and I try again, so I thought maybe this would give me more resources for helping him, or just a little bit of fortification that it’s okay to try and it’s not my responsibility to fix it,” she said. Gural JCC Executive Director Stacey Feldman said she hopes for the JCC to play a role in making people aware of available help when it comes to mental health. “Jewish Community Centers are portals into community life and while people think about it for happy things such as senior adult programming or nursery school, they should also turn to us in a time of crisis,” Feldman said.

NASSAU HERALD — February 1, 2024

The formula Deutsch instructed with was titled, QPR, similar to CPR, she said to remind people of its life saving effects. QPR stands for question, persuade, refer Deutsch said. She said this all starts with looking out for risk factors in individual’s lives around you, which are things that may happen, making someone more mentally vulnerable. These include sudden rejection by a loved one such as a breakup, separation, divorce, a recent move, the loss of financial security, losing a cherished counselor or therapist, someone using drugs or alcohol or having a relapse, a history of mental illness, mental illness in the family, or having easy access to ways to commit suicide such as a gun at home. Deutsch also said if individuals in one’s life are exhibiting warning signs regarding taking their life, questioning should be used to determine the legitimacy of the threat. From there, Deutsch suggests persuading the individual in question to get help and referring them to the resources, the last two parts of the acronym, whether that is from a guidance counselor, social worker, organization to support mental illness or suicide hotline among other places.

Hewlett High students get a Holocaust education By PARKER SCHUG pschug@liherald.com

Two days after International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Hewlett High School students received an education on the horrific historic event with several classes gathered in the building’s library to learn Mireille Taub, a French refugee who lives in Freeport, who shared her story of escaping from Paris before the Nazis took control along with her husband’s tale of concentration camp survival. Taub’s Jan. 27 discussion was followed by a live, interactive, virtual tour of Auschwitz, a complex of over 40 Nazi concentration camps in Poland, as part of the first Holocaust Awareness Day in the high school. “There’s actually somebody live in Poland, that actually is physically present there to show us some artifacts,” Hewlett High School Principal Alexandra Greenberg, said. Greenberg invited any teachers interested to bring their classes to hear Taub speak, as well as additional students who expressed curiosity. “I wanted this to be a more intimate setting,” Greenberg said. Taub told her story of leaving Paris with her family, taking a train to Bordeaux, a city in France to cross the border and being amid the aerial bombing. “We get off the train, we’re lucky to be alive, we start walking to Bordeaux,” Taub said. She showed her shoes that she had worn as a young girl making the trek, with worn down heals. The family stopped 20 to 40 miles from Bordeaux, she said. They then boarded other trains, fac-

Taub also recounted her late husband David Taub’s story. He and his brother were in and out of multiple concentration camps and received help from people throughout their journey that led to their liberation. Junior Aaron Isakov actually asked Greenberg for permission to attend, because his classes were not viewing the presentation. “I want to hear more perspectives because we come from the Soviet Union, my family, my great grandfather always told me all his stories, his experience,” Isakov said. “So, I wanted to see everyone’s different experience and what

they shared, what’s the difference, what’s the parallels today to what’s happening.” Isakov also found Taub’s story interesting comparing how her and her husband eventually reached liberation to other stories he had heard of survivors. “I thought it was interesting because when you hear these stories, there’s always some amount of luck and coincidence, the starts have to align in some way for everything to work out,” Isakov said. “It’s crazy how many lucky things, you can’t plan these kinds of things, opportunities that allowed people to get out and allowed people to live and provide for their families.” Taub finished her retelling of events by reminding students of an important

lesson, she said. “How courageous must you be to stay alive in such difficult times?” Taub said. “Even staying alive is an act of resistance.” Taub and her family’s attitudes inspired Isakov, he said. “They all have strength and resilience and persistence in common, they just keep on pushing through, they’ve have to find some way to make this,” Isakov said. On the same day, Cedarhurst resident and another Holocaust survivor Fred Zeilberger was honored by Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman at the ceremonial chamber in the Theodore Roosevelt Executive & Legislative Building in Mineola.

Pasquale Preziosa, who set his Erie Avenue house in Atlantic Beach ablaze in 2020, was sentenced to five years probation on Jan. 24. He also pleaded guilty to reckless endangerment and torturing an animal. Preziosa, 56, was charged with arson and other crimes for the house fire. Originally, Nassau County police responded to what they called a disturbance at the home at 10:20 p.m. on Nov. 18, 2020, Preziosa had sent threatening text messages to family members saying that he intended to hurt himself, according to police. When police responded, Preziosa refused to leave the house. Police said he “made several threats, including harming officers,” and tried to force the police to shoot him. The Nassau County Emergen-

cy Service Unit, Bureau of Special Operations and Hostage Negotiation Team were then called to the scene. At 1:20 a.m., police spotted flames shooting from the home’s second floor, and fire spread across that portion of the house. Preziosa refused to leave again, and ESU and firefighters entered the house and found the semi-conscious Preziosa in the basement of the rented house. Outside the house, he was treated and arrested, and then taken to a local hospital for assessment and treatment for smoke inhalation. The fire was brought under control within two hours, according to Long Beach fire officials. The Nassau County fire marshal and the police Arson/Bomb Squad also responded. — Jeffrey Bessen

Oceanside’s Jordyn Landau didn’t want to be known as “Jordyn who has cancer,” she wanted people to see her for who she is — family-centered, courageous, strong, optimistic and a warrior — to name a few, family members said. An aunt to Cameron, sister to Josh and Heather, daughter to Aimee and Rick Landau, and a caring educator in the Hewlett-Woodmere school district, Landau died on Jan. 16, 2024 of Ewing’s Sarcoma, a form of cancer.

After notching double digits in victories last season and reaching the semifinals of the Private Schools Athletic Association boys’ basketball playoffs, Lawrence Woodmere Academy appears on track to do more damage this winter. The Tigers won 14 of their first 18 games and swept the first go-round of the PSAA slate, including a thrilling 72-71 victory over Long Island Lutheran B. “Last season was really rewarding,” third-year LWA head coach Hank Williams said. “We improved tremendously from my first year here. We won the league regular-season title and made it to the semis where we lost to Stony Brook. We brought in some new pieces and so far, so good. We’re hoping to keep it going in the second half.” LWA assumed the driver’s seat to repeat as regular-season champs with back-to-back wins over LIL and Martin Luther. The Tigers had four players score in double figures Dec. 19 against Lutheran, including sophomore center Caleb Ourigou (14) who tapped home the winning bucket with 4.6 seconds remaining in regulation. Sophomore Josh Smith led all scorers with 19, senior Christopher Clark added 18, and senior Nil Rahola had 13. Following a two-week break in the action, LWA returned to the court Jan. 4 and took down Martin Luther, 80-66, behind sophomore Sylvanus Tabe’s 20 points and freshman Hank Williams Jr.’s 14. The Tigers blew open an otherwise tight game in the third quarter, outscoring Martin Luther by a 25-9 margin. Each of the team’s losses have come against non-league opponents: St. John The Baptist, Chaminade and Eagle Academy. Coach Williams said the 79-62 defeat to Chaminade Jan. 6 was a learning experience. “We’re playing well, but seeing Chaminade was a team I’d like to see us emulate,” Williams said. “When we start playing the way Chaminade played against us, moving the ball really well and playing their hearts out, that’s when we’ll reach

Senior Christopher Clark, left, scored 18 points in the Tigers’ biggest win of the season so far, a 72-71 triumph over Long Island Lutheran B. our full potential.” The Tigers returned two key contributors from last season. Williams Jr. thrived as an eighth-grader, averaging 19 points per game on the way to earning PSAA coMVP honors. He’s one of four being asked to bring the ball up the floor now. He hit 73 treys last season and has more responsibility than serving as a shooting threat. Also back in the fold is senior Christopher Williams (no relation), who also runs the point at times and is a sound decision-maker who’s added more scoring to his resume. Smith and Clark also operate in the backcourt. Clark is the team’s best defender, the coach said, and brings the ball up the floor the most. Smith is a lights-out shooter who can also get to the

rim. Rahola is another guard who defends well and can get hot offensively. At 6-foot-9 and 6-8, respectively, Ourigou and Tabe are intimidating in the paint and often are on the court at the same time. Tabe is averaging 17 points and leads the way on the boards. On Jan. 24, the Tigers played on a bigger stage at Nassau Coliseum and led in the fourth quarter of a 63-57 loss to Friends Academy. Smith’s 16 points paced the offense. The coach said it was a good learning experience against a disciplined, quality opponent. “We can start any of the seven kids who play a lot,” coach Williams said. “Their chemistry is good and we’re just trying to improve every day and go as far as we can.”

February 1, 2024 — HERALD

Real life becomes reel life for Jordan Levine hgaldamez@liherald.com

Before he made Variety’s Top 10 Producers to Watch in 2016, he was Jordan Yale Levine, a student at Hewlett High School who grew up receiving the Nassau Herald at home, unsure what he wanted to do. But there was one thing for sure he knew: he was interested in business but unsure in what capacity. “I had a great time in high school. I think I learned that I wanted to be in business in general, but I didn’t know in what field,” he said. ‘Whether it was hospital administration, whether it was finance, but as an 18-19-year-old kid, I thought film was super cool and I wanted to experience that.” After graduating in 2003, Levine, a North Woodmere native, decided to move to Los Angeles the following year because, at the time, he thought that was the best place to be for film. Once he decamped to Southern California he began working behind the scenes, coordinating hundreds of meetings to raise money for the films he was working on, one of his first being the 2007 film “Tooth and Nail.”

“I was interested in this side of the business,” he said. “I always had a very business-minded kind of vision but never grew up wanting to be a film producer.” But, in a twist-of-fate, through recognition and connections he made, Levine was given the green light to produce his first movie called “Black Limousine” starring David Arquette in 2010. That same year, Levine received a call from a friend in the business, Ash Christian, who was directing the film “Petunia” in New York, asking him to join his team. It was at that moment Levine realized he didn’t have to work in L.A. and could work in his home state. “That’s what brought me back to New York,” he said. “From that experience, I realized that I do not have to be in L.A. and I could be here in New York where my family is.” When he returned, Levine had already worked on over 30 films and by 2016, was named one of Variety’s 10 producers to watch, a dream come true, he said. Christian and Levine worked on multiple projects together in New York. But it was when Levine crossed paths with another fellow Hewlett graduate, Scott Levenson. They reconnected to form

“Yale Entertainment” in 2017, an expansion to Levine’s “Yale Productions,” his independent feature film production company he launched in 2012 after wanting to further pursue film production. The two’s first film together was 2018’s “After Everything,” which starred Jeremy Allen White, who has become a staple household name in the movie industry. The pair has since produced over a dozen films. Although film wasn’t in his plans, Levine has been invited to colleges such as New York University to share his story. When asked what advice he would give to those interested, he said that future director, writers or cinematographers should further expand their interest by attending film school in college, but for those who have an interest in producing like him, attending business school to be the route. “I would never downplay college or school in general,” he said despite not having a college degree. “I think that you can learn either by experience or by going to film, business school or look for internships. School and experiences, whether together or separate, definitely make for the best education.”

The renovations were completed in September. “Lawrence Woodmere Academy is thrilled to welcome Andrew Feldman back to the Barbra Barth Feldman Performing Arts Center at Hessel Hall, named for his mother, who was a longtime friend,” school officials noted in a news release. Coordinating the benefit concert with Feldman is the school’s drama teacher, Henry McDaniel — who is in his second year at LWA. “Since the first time we started working with Andrew, two things have happened almost daily,” McDaniel wrote in an email. “First, each day, someone has told me a different and remarkable story about how the amazing Barbra Feldman, Andrew’s mother and former LWA Head of School before her passing, has changed their lives for the better. “And second, Andrew has been the kindest, most humble individual with whom I’ve worked,” McDaniel added. “We’re so excited for people to come see the reinvigoration of the amazing Arts Programming at LWA and thankful once again to Andrew for all he’s doing to shine light on that.” Ella Schwartz, an LWA board member and a friend of Barbra Feldman’s, said she took pride in Andrew’s return to his roots. “I am so proud of Andrew for returning to Lawrence Woodmere Academy and honoring his mother in such a special way,” Schwartz wrote in an email.

“Barbra was a remarkable force at LWA, deeply passionate about the arts and committed to seeing every student shine on stage. “The money we hope to raise from this production will ensure that future generations of performers will continue to benefit from the strong foundation Barbra established,” Schwartz added. “Barbra would be so touched by Andrew and all the performers honoring her name in such a meaningful way.” LWA Headmaster Hank Williams — who is also

the boys’ basketball coach — also sounded exuberant about Feldman’s return. “We are so excited that Andrew is returning to his alma mater to perform at The Barbra Barth Feldman Performing Arts Center, established in remembrance of his beloved mother,” Williams wrote. “I am honored to welcome him back home to LWA for a remarkable evening.” For more information and tickets to the March 3 show, call (516)-374-9000.

By Daniel Offner The Fest for Beatles Fans — the largest and longestrunning immersive experience for fans of the Fab Four — celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. Beatles devotees surely will want to get in on the action, next weekend, Feb. 9-11. It involves an all-star lineup of musical guests, an auction of rare memorabilia, fan meet and greets, a giant Beatles marketplace, Beatles museum, an art gallery dedicated to the Fab Four, plus even more. And since this year also marks the 60th anniversary of The Beatles’ arrival at JFK International Airport, it all happens at the famed TWA Hotel at JFK. Headlining this year’s event is none other than drummersinger Micky Dolenz of The Monkees, along with Laurence Juber and Steve Holley of Wings, Billy J. Kramer, Greg Bissonnette, Mark Rivera, and others. The Monkees — unlike the Fab Four themselves — were not actually a band at all. They came about through the magic of television to appear like they were a group trying to be like The Beatles, but who could never quite achieve the same level of success. “We used to have a poster of The Beatles on the set and we would throw darts at it,” Dolenz says. “We were never famous on the show. It was about the struggle for success and trying to get a record deal, which we never did on the TV show.” Ironically, the success of the NBC sitcom would launch the “imaginary band” to new heights. The Monkees would go on to achieve success they never thought attainable. Their albums climbed to the top of the Billboard charts, and soon they were selling out shows all across the country. Several of their songs, including the “(Theme From) The Monkees,” was actually written, produced and performed by songwriting duo Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart; later rerecorded to feature the actors’ voices. Dolenz says that during the auditions, producers required that the actors were able to play an instrument and sing. “The producers must have had in mind that we were going to play live,” he recalls. “Mike Nesmith said it was like Pinocchio becoming a real little boy.” He compared the experience to the Fox musical series “Glee,” in the sense that all four members of the group were

able to sing and act, practiced and learned the music in order to perform on tour. During the height of his show’s popularity in 1966, Dolenz was invited to sit in on a session at Abbey Road Studios. He said that, at the time, The Beatles were in the middle of tracking their song, “Good Morning, Good Morning,” for their eighth studio album, Sgt. Pepper’s

Lonely Hearts Club Band. Interestingly, John Lennon said that the inspiration for the tune came to him from a Kellogg’s Corn Flakes commercial. Coincidentally, back in the United States, Dolenz and The Monkees were featured in several commercials for the breakfast cereal during their peak. In the years that followed, he would have many more interactions with John, Paul, George and Ringo. “I’ve always been a huge Beatles fan,” Dolenz says. “They were great. They got what The Monkees were all about.” He also recalls how Lennon once compared The Monkees to the Marx Brothers, because of their plucky

comedic antics. Throughout the years, Dolenz has mixed in a blend of Beatles covers into his repertoire, including “Good Morning, Good Morning,” and “A Day in the Life.” His participation in The Fest goes back to 2014, when he joined Peter Noone of Herman’s Hermits on stage for a performance of “Henry VIII.” According to Dolenz, he’s most excited to share the stage with talented musicians like Laurence Juber, and just “being there” to spend time with fans and have a good time. “Its like comic-con,” Dolenz says. “I’m looking forward to going back there and hanging out in New York.”

South Shore Symphony The orchestra continues music director Adam Glaser’s inaugural season, joined by The Zandieh Trio. The young ensemble performs Beethoven’s ‘Concerto for Violin, Cello,’ and ‘Piano in C Major, Op. 56’ — known as the ‘Triple Concerto’ — which showcases the talents of violinist Cameron Zandieh, cellist Charlie Zandieh and pianist Christopher Zandieh. Performing together since 2013, their ensemble is the inevitable collaborative joint force of the three accomplished brothers. All would go on to graduate from the prestigious Juilliard School. The program also includes Dmitri Shostakovich’s compelling ‘Symphony No. 6 in B minor, Op. 54.’ Saturday, Feb. 3, 7:30 p.m. $30.

Lawrence Village The Village of Lawrence Board of Trustees holds its monthly meeting, Thursday, Feb. 8, at 8 p.m., at Village Hall, 196 Central Ave., Lawrence.

On exhibit 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.

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 Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Acts. 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 tax 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) and 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 Nassau County Treasurer reserves the right to intervene in any bankruptcy case/litigation where the property affected by the tax liens sold by the Treasurer is part of the bankruptcy estate. However, it is the sole responsibility of all tax lien purchasers to protect their legal interests in any bankruptcy case affecting their purchased tax lien, including but not limited to the filing of a proof of claim on their behalf, covering their investment in said tax lien. The Nassau County Treasurer and Nassau County and its agencies, assumes no responsibility for any legal representation of any tax lien purchaser in any legal proceeding including but not limited to a bankruptcy case where the purchased tax lien is at risk. The rate of interest and penalty at 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 for 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 amounts 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 shall 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 the sale, rights of purchasers, maximum rates of interest and other legal incidents of the sale. Furthermore, as to the bidding, 1. 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. 2. 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.

discussion with, or inducement from, any other bidder to submit a complementary or other noncompetitive bid. 4.

A. This is a very uplifting topic. The deep question and answer are actually simple and not too deep after all. Science, if followed, can aid in survival against the forces of nature that perpetually exist. The reason your foundation needs to be lower is that water, when it freezes, expands as ice. So what does that have to onte eeper do with a big ol’ heavy chunk of concrete, you may ask? Well, the ground absorbs rain droplets, humidity and underground streams, all various forms of water just waiting to expand when the temperature drops below 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius. Frost begins to form, first at the surface and then further and further down below ground level the longer the air temperature remains at or below freezing. In this part of the world, the average depth of freezing consistently reaches 3 feet, and only slowly thaws when the air temperature rises. The foundation should always have a wide base, or footing, that spreads out at the bottom, and needs to be below the 3-foot depth to resist the phenomenon of heaving. This is because, as the frost builds and expands, the moisture, in all its various forms (I just mentioned), begins to expand and crowd out the foundation of your home, or front steps, or anything else in its way. Think of it like a big zit being forced to the surface from all directions. When this happens, all the man-made structures in the ground begin to lift, sway, crack and separate in different directions. You have about as much chance of preventing it as you would of standing against a strong tidal wave on the beach, but since the heaving happens in slow motion, it seems to not be well recognized, because this problem comes up all the time on construction sites. Believe it or not, even large buildings, like skyscrapers and shopping malls, are vulnerable to uplift from soil expansion, so it’s not just your front steps or your comparatively smaller building. Workers who don’t understand the science can create some easily avoidable problems. The reason your house foundation is closer to the surface is probably because it’s tied to deep piers, called piles, that may go down 25 feet below the surface. The adjacent concrete foundation, anchored to the piles, should still have gone down to 36 inches, but at least the existing footings are held to something that may resist the uneven lifting.

Replacing the front steps

Q. Why do my replacement steps need to be lower than my house foundation? I live near the water, and we dug a hole to put in a new foundation for the front steps that will be bigger than the old ones. We found the groundwater came up at 30 inches, so we stopped digging, but the inspector said our plans showed 36 inches minimum. The house foundation is at 30 inches also, so why are we digging lower? They did it, but I can’t understand.

ho needs Clint Eastwood to start the year off with a bang when we are fully loaded with every amenity right here? This gorgeous Wantagh Woods Colonial has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and eat-in-kitchen with 2 quartz islands.

Answers to todAy’s puzzle

opinions

wo are still standing. The number of Republican presidential candidates has been narrowed down from 15 or so to just two, Donald Trump and Nikki Haley. It’s a reality of current political life that in a nation of 50 states and more than 300 million people, two small states like Iowa and New Hampshire can play such a commanding role in determining the nominee of a major political party. Not only do they have small populations, but their pETER demographics are atypical of so KinG much of the rest of the country. They have no large cities, very few minorities and minimal union membership. As for the Democrats, President Biden was and is their only candidate, guaranteeing his renomination and creating the probability of another general election campaign between two

candidates, Biden and Trump, who are viewed unfavorably by a significant majority of the American people. The remaining question is whether Haley has any viable path to victory and, if not, how long she will remain in the race. Supporters of Trump, of course, are calling for Haley to end her candidacy so that all energy and funding can be directed toward the general election against Biden. Let me acknowledge up front that I am biased toward Haley. During her time as ambassador to the United Nations, I had the chance to meet with her and to observe the outstanding job she did fighting for and defending America’s interests from attacks in that dysfunctional, antiAmerican international body. Her forceful, articulate encounters with ambassadors from Russia and anti-Israel, third-world dictatorships rank alongside those of Ambassador Jeanne Kirkpatrick during the Reagan years. I always found Haley to be cordial

and agreeable as well as knowledgeable and dedicated. Members of her security detail would tell me how thoughtful she was, with no arrogance or condescension. And as a practicing politician for many years, I truly admire how she has bested all the other Trump challengers in what is such a grueling marathon. Running for Congress in a single district for a few months is exhausting enough. Doing that nationwide for more than a year as a decided underdog, defying the odds while fighting off slings and arrows from Trump, is in another league altogether. Having said all that, I don’t think Haley has a real chance of beating Trump to the nomination. The next major contest will be the South Carolina primary on Feb. 24. Though she was a successful governor of that state, polling shows her trailing Trump by as much as 30 points. After that, her only even remote hope would be the multiple state primaries on Super Tuesday, March 5. Adding to her woes

he former ambassador shouldn’t surrender to Trump’s heavyhanded tactics.

is the reality that the more it appears Trump will be the certain nominee, the more her funding will dry up. Still, I think Haley has the right to stay in at least for a while longer. Not only is it difficult for a candidate who has made it this far to give up her dream overnight, but Trump’s barrage of petty attacks on her in his speech after the New Hampshire primary would make her withdrawal from the race appear to be a surrender to his heavy-handed tactics. As for the Trump camp’s appeal for party unity and a concerted effort against Biden, Trump squandered that opportunity not just by attacking Haley, whose support he will need in November. He also missed his chance to lay out his case against Biden before a national audience. My guess is that, sooner rather than later, Haley will realize that she has taken her campaign as far as it can go, and will withdraw. But she will do that at a time and in a manner of her choosing. And she will do it with class. Peter King is a former congressman, and a former chair of the House Committee on Homeland Security. Comments? pking@ liherald.com.

We must stand up to bullying

ullying is real and pervasive in society today, often driven by the divisive nature of our current political paradigm. Authentic claims of bullying must not be de-legitimized. Step forward unapologetically to oppose inequities in our communities and stakeholders who harbor bias. Leaders seeking to dismantle current systems of inequity frequently become targets of bullying. Advocacy, and the building of a viable movement to reach your goals, is a worthy endeavor for change agents to combat inequipATRiCK ties. Demonizing your presumed piZZo foes is not. There are practical alternatives to find justice and advocate for policy changes — traditional avenues to influence power are the correct routes. Voting, and supporting others who share your views, are the first steps to lasting change. Engaging in a debate over facts isn’t bullying, for those on either side. Accusing someone of bullying you to end the discussion is an admission that your own argument is weak. Name-call-

ing diminishes the veracity of any term correctly applied. Bullying is the unfair and unreasonable application of power to the detriment of the marginalized — the group without power — but that’s a shifting and subjective standard. Bullying accusations, in practice, can be used as a tool of the privileged unethical to obtain an advantage. The misapplication of the term bullying has reached epidemic proportions in our society. This has stifled public debate, to the detriment of our First Amendment right to freedom of speech. Failure to cite facts diverts from an authentic debate. Tactically misleading accusations of bullying from the privileged, who did not help the marginalized for decades, hurt all who have been truly adversely affected. Having objective standards, equally applied, is not bullying; objective standards are a component of equity. Failing to meet the clearly defined standards, and then blaming people working within the system of bullying you, is in fact slander. When false accusations are misapplied, that constitutes bullying of the manager or supervising public servant. Legitimate claims within organizations should be filed by

those aggrieved and fully supported by senior management, but false claims hurt us all. When a rule is legally enacted by a governmental entity, you have not been bullied; you are in fact a member of a functioning democracy. When correctly applied practices are ignored for the benefit of one person or organization, that is improper, and a form of bullying against those not so empowered. Therefore, if you, and those who agree with your position, had the unobstructed right to participate in the process, you were not bullied. You can only legitimately claim that an injustice was done if your ability to vote, or to take part in the process, was obstructed in some way by competing interests. Citizens have the right to be heard and respected. We cannot, and should not, take away anyone’s right to speak. That can sometimes be painful, but that is the price of a free society. What we can, and should, do is not empower those who use their speech and political might to adversely impact ethical citizens. While we have no right to stop their speech, we do have the choice of not tacitly supporting their malice through our silence.

he misuse of the term has reached epidemic proportions in our society.

Recalcitrant people do not need to remain our friends or have unfiltered access to our personal space. Quietly accepting the unacceptable creates the perception that you are sympatico with their beliefs. They have a right to speak, but we all have the responsibility to stand for equity. Leaders who accept malice against the ethical for political expediency may forfeit their moral authority. The remedy for not prevailing in an argument, for initially not succeeding in an endeavor or for losing an election, is not to rail against anyone who does not agree with you. Present a better argument based on facts, focus on improving based on the objective criteria, and vote after objectively reviewing the positions presented. People on the opposite side of these actions need to focus on the humanity behind these situations and do better as well. Respect free speech, including speech with which you disagree. Debate with facts, but do not attack the right of others to hold their opinions. Attacking free speech is the most prevalent form of intimidation that exists today — and yes, that is bullying.

Floods are coming, and we must stay safe

t was just one storm — but it was a nasty one. Rain and wind pounded the South Shore well into the evening on Jan. 9. And when the high tide rolled in early the next morning, all bets were off for communities like Freeport, Baldwin Harbor and the Five Towns, among others. Streets, yards and even highways flooded. Stalled cars were found in many of these temporary ponds, almost like boats floating on the water. Yet this was nothing new to so many who call these communities home. And it’s likely to only get worse as time goes by. The seawater surrounding Long Island has been rising more than an inch every decade. By the time our children and grandchildren welcome a new century in 2100, key parts of the South Shore will be underwater. That’s a couple of lifetimes away, but we’re feeling the effects now, when even something as simple as a swelling high tide can wreak havoc on our streets and our properties. Our elected leaders have their work cut out for them as they try to figure out how to curb this rise in the coming years and decades. In the meantime, the rest of us need to make sure we stay safe and keep our families protected.

But what can we do? One, make sure you have flood insurance — and be careful, it’s typically a separate policy from what you might have on your home. But even more important: Heed the warnings of emergency officials when storms or flooding hit an area. If you’re told to evacuate, for example, don’t waste time, and do it. The fears of leaving your home behind, of course, are quite real. What happens if looters get there before you come back? And do you really have to leave? Aren’t emergency officials’ pronouncements more often than not an overreaction? When it comes to natural disasters, it’s all about being safe. The alternative, staying at home, not only threatens your safety — and maybe even your life — but rescuing you later could tie up essential resources that may be needed elsewhere. It’s better to go, and then come back later when you get the all-clear. Whether it’s before, during or after a flood, the National Weather Service says that the most important thing you can do is stay informed. Turn on your local news. Visit your local newspaper’s website. Hop onto social media. Learn about evacuation orders, flooded roads, and anything else that could potentially mean the difference between life and death.

If you’re in an area you think could be subject to flooding, get to higher ground. Secure your home and go. If you have time, unplug appliances, and even disconnect utilities. And on top of everything else, avoid floodwaters. Don’t drive through them. Don’t walk through them. Just stay away. You might think you know where the bottom is — and the water may seem almost serene — but you have no idea what’s below the surface. The ground could have been washed away, and there’s a chance a current is flowing just below where you can see — enough to pull you away, or even under. And if that’s not enough, driving through saltwater will ruin your car. While Nassau County has avoided flood-related deaths for the most part in recent years, that doesn’t mean it can’t happen. More than half of those lives lost occur when people drive or walk into floodwaters, according to the weather service. Even a half-foot of fast-moving water is enough to knock a grown adult off their feet and carry them away. Double that, and ponding water can move a small car. Long Island is our home. It’s where we work, or go to school. We want to continue living here a long time — and we start by staying safe.

Letters A call for accountability: Nassau County residents deserve better To the Editor: Nassau County residents, it’s time to shine a spotlight on the allocation of our federal pandemic aid. The recent decision by Republican-led Nassau County lawmakers to redirect most of the $262 million to the general fund rather than the originally allocated essential community projects is not only disheartening, but irresponsible. This substantial funding, which already had bipartisan resolutions in the Legislature, was intended to directly impact our community by assisting with funding mental health programs, addressing food insecurity, enhancing public safety, supporting public-works projects, and aiding small businesses. Instead, the diversion of this money to the general fund raises concerns about neglecting urgent needs for the sake of political interests. Particularly distressing is the allocation of $10 million for a marketing and tourism budget celebrating the county’s 125th anniversary. This move suggests a focus on political patronage rather than addressing the pressing needs of Nassau County residents. Equally troubling are the actions of Legislator Mazi Melesa Pilip, a key figure in this decision and

the Republican candidate in the Feb. 13 special congressional election. Leaving the meeting before the vote demonstrates a neglect of legislative responsibilities. Is this the representation the 3rd Congressional District deserves? Residents of the district, remember that actions speak louder than words! It’s

crucial to observe and question the decisions of our representatives, especially Pilip’s choice to walk out on responsibilities and abstain from voting. Now, more than ever, we must hold our elected leaders accountable. We demand transparency and the effective use of funds for the betterment of all of Nassau

atching the war between Israel and Hamas continue, I am heartbroken. Like any person of goodwill, I am pained by the babies, young people, women, elderly and all people taken hostage by Hamas, including my neighbor Omer Neutra. I am angry that some 1,200 Israeli civilians were murdered in ways that the most twisted minds couldn’t imagine. However, I am also grieving for Palestinians held eriC hostage by post Hamas. Women, children and others who didn’t ask to be part of this conflict. People whose homes, schools, hospitals and even

mosques have been turned into weapons-storage facilities and bases to fight Israeli soldiers. It is particularly important, when speaking about the conflict, for both supporters and detractors of Israel to uncouple Hamas from innocent Palestinians in Gaza. Yes, there are child soldiers, and many children are inculcated to hate from a young age, but they, too, are victims. Victims of a terrorist group that puts a higher priority on the death of Israel than the lives of its own civilians. There is another reason to distinguish between Hamas and innocent Palestinians. On Oct. 7, while homes in southern Israel were still burning and

Hamas terrorists were still inside Israel, many anti-Israel protesters didn’t make the distinction between Hamas and innocent Palestinians. We rarely heard condemnation of the Hamas attack. When calling for a better life for the Palestinians in Gaza, or a ceasefire, there was no mention of Israeli hostages or murdered civilians. We’ve seen similar language on college campuses nationwide and in rallies in New York City. We have seen posters of hostages torn down, we have seen anti-Zionist phrases like “From the river to the sea” uttered, and violent mobs that look nothing like the peace vigils of those who support Israel. This in itself is a microcosm of the HamasIsrael conflict. I am led to believe that

e must recognize the difference between Gaza’s terrorists and its victims.

without caveats, without clarifying statements, many of Israel’s detractors do not support a Jewish state, and may even support the murder of innocent Israelis. I hope I’m wrong. If we can’t agree to disagree here, how can we ever imagine a negotiated solution to the conflict in the Middle East? So my request to Israel’s supporters and detractors is this: If you support a long-term solution to this conflict that allows Israelis and Palestinians alike to thrive, distinguish between those in Gaza who are terrorists and those who are victims of Hamas. As Israel seeks to destroy Hamas, a goal it will achieve, it is incumbent on all of us to separate those who will be defeated with Hamas, and those who deserve a better way of life moving forward.

Is Lancman aware of Pilip’s IDF experience? To the Editor: In his letter in the Jan. 18-24 issue, “Tom Suozzi, American Jewry and Israel — the right man at the right time,” Rory Lancman used 500 words to posit the absurd idea that Tom Suozzi will be a better supporter of Israel than Mazi Pilip, who was a paratrooper in the Israel Defense Forces. Sorry, even 5,000 words wouldn’t convince anyone. DENNIS DuFFY Lynbrook

Suozzi is a champion in ‘tikkun olam,’ repairing the world To the Editor: If Democratic, Republican and independent voters in the Third Congressional District might agree on anything, it’s that our politics and world seem broken. As a proud Jewish-American, I strongly support Tom Suozzi for Congress. He embodies the principles of “tikkun olam,” the Jewish concept of “repairing the world.” Having Suozzi in Congress to fight for Israel and promote a secure and lasting peace in the Middle East could not be more urgent. As a strong non-Jewish ally, he is

uniquely qualified to fight within his party, and work across the aisle, to maintain the bipartisan support that is so critical for Israel. Tom will work tirelessly to combat antisemitism and all other forms of hate, ensuring that Jews and other religious minorities can live safely in the u.S. His commitment to many Jewish institutions in our community, including Jewish schools, community centers, and the Holocaust Center in Glen Cove, spans over three decades. Suozzi’s impact on education, health care, the environment, reducing gun violence, and preserving a woman’s right to choose resonates strongly with Jewish values. He has received the Gun Sense Candidate distinction from Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, and has been endorsed by the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, the New York State Nurses Association, NYSuT, the League of Conservation Voters Action Fund and the Sierra Club, among others. Despite the desperate disinformation spread by his opponents, Suozzi has a realistic and nuanced approach to immigration, keeping with the Jewish value of “Welcome the stranger.” That’s why he worked with Republicans to develop a plan to pay for a secure border, and pathways for immigrants seeking a better life to remain legally and pay taxes in the u.S. His bipartisan approach and collaborative spirit make him a leader who can bridge divides, cultivate unity, and champion the values we hold dear. His experience and proven ability to work across party lines demonstrate his effectiveness in getting things done for all of his constituents. Tom’s dedication to public service, proven track record and commitment to transparency starkly contrast with his opponent. The voters of this district need and deserve someone who will hit the ground

running, not someone requiring onthe-job training. unfortunately, Suozzi’s opponent has refused to debate. Like her friend George Santos, she has scant relevant experience. She won’t answer questions or state her positions, even when civic groups and the media have repeatedly asked for them. She also

has questionable financials and resists transparency. Please join me in voting for Tom Suozzi in the Feb. 13 special election. I look forward to seeing him contribute to improving our district and our country. ALLISON WHITE Port Washington
