Inwood seeks firehouse addition Tuesday vote on borrowing $4.8 million for 17 years By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

Planning for the future, the Inwood Fire District is asking its resident to approve two public referendums to borrow a total of $4.8 million for a proposed 2,900-square-foot expansion of the existing firehouse and a new 100-foot bucket ladder truck to replace the current 75-foot ladder truck. Both bonds would be financed over 17 years. Fire district officials presented information at a meeting on Jan. 27 on what could be the third renovation of a firehouse

that was built in 1927. Previous work was done in 1951 on the Doughty Boulevard side of the building. In 1995, a Wanser Avenue addition was constructed and an elevator was added, along with minor American with Disabilities Act-compliant changes. District officials and Melville-based architect Frank Relf detailed seven primary reasons for the $2.8 million firehouse expansion. New ADA-compliant restrooms on the building’s first floor would be built, making them readily accessible to firefighters and visitors. ADA-com-

pliant shower stalls would also be installed. More space is needed in what is called the apparatus room for the first-response ladder truck and the department’s larger vehicles. The current fleet includes two ambulances, two engines, two ladder trucks, a rescue boat and a five-ton Army truck housed in the annex building. More space is also needed for firefighters’ gear and equipment, which, according to fire district officials, would also create safer conditions for firefighters, with more room Continued on page 13

Battling ‘a stain of intolerance’ jbessen@liherald.com

Surrounded by Christian, Jewish, Muslim and Sikh religious leaders and school administrators, Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer stumped for Congress to double the amount of money available through the Not-For-Profit Security grant program. “We live with a type of fear we have not experienced in this country for as long as anyone of us could remember,” said Rabbi Mordechai Kamenetzky, dean of Yeshiva of South Shore. The money is for nonprofit organizations that are at a high risk of terrorist attack to upgrade the physical security of their buildings. Bollards, cameras and secure doors and windows can be bought with the federal funds. “Every student, every staff member that goes to any school, whether public or private, deserves an education and a safe environment to learn,” said Ari Solomon, executive director of the Hebrew Academy of the Five Tows and Rockaway. Schumer announced the push to increase the money amount at Young Israel of Woodmere on Jan. 26, the largest Orthodox Jewish congregation on the South Shore of Long Island, in the aftermath of the hostage situation at a synagogue in Cooleyville, Texas on Jan. 15. The

SEN. ChaRlES SChumER, at lectern, surrounded by religious leaders and school administrators, called for doubling the security grant money available for nonprofits. temple’s rabbi and four other people were taken hostage for 11 hours. They escaped. The hostage taker was killed by law enforcement. “There is an unease in the air,” Schumer said, speaking of what he called “a stain of intolerance,” that has resulted in an increase of attacks on religious places that he said, “welcome strangers,” but now spiritual leaders and their congregants are “worried about strangers.” He noted that in the last 10 years 600 worshippers, of all religious affiliations, have been killed. “There is a phenomena that is sweeping

our country,” said State Sen. Todd Kaminsky, (D-Long Beach). “We’ve seen antiSemitic and generally racist and intolerant incidents, and violence skyrocket. We need to do something about that.” To help ease the fear, Schumer said that the security grant money pot should be $360 million in the upcoming budget up from the current $180 million. It is a program that he originated two years ago, which began with $90 million and that amount was also doubled, a year later. “We are constantly thinking about what further measures we must take in order to

ensure the safety and security of our members, our clients and our staff,” said Gural JCC CEO Aaron Rosenfeld. Scott Richman, the regional director of the Anti-Defamation League for New York and New Jersey, said that anti-Semitic attacks have tripled since 2013 and his office responds to 30 incidents week. “Our partners in this battle have been elected officials, who have passed key pieces of legislation,” he said. “Our law enforcement, who have helped keep communities safe. Our schools who have worked with ADL, and teach the next generation to respect one another. And, of course civil society, which you see represented here.” Less than 1,000 nonprofits that applied for the money have received funds, Schumer said, saying that the process to apply is easy, however more than 2,000 such organization seek help. New York state has received 23 percent of the previous money, including Young Israel of Woodmere. The shul got $125,000 and used the money to hire an outside security company, buy cameras and other security upgrades. “With the undeniable uptick of antiSemitism all over this country, including the recent hostage situation in Cooleyville in Texas, security funding for all faith communities is no longer a luxury, but is now an absolute and urgent necessity,” said Young Israel of Woodmere Rabbi Shay Schacter.

Nor’easter drops more than a foot of snow in the 5T By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

John F. Kennedy International Airport that is a hop, skip and a jump from the Five Towns reported 12.6 inches of snow on Saturday at 7 p.m. Plowing the snow and cleaning up the roadways and street was made much more difficult as winds howled up to 45 mph. Plowing in Cedarhurst began at 4 a.m. on Saturday and continued through 9 p.m., said Mayor Benjamin Weinstock. He noted that the wind was “fierce.” “The village is completely plowed and salted,” he said, adding that one truck circled Cedarhurst doing spot plowing on Sunday. On Monday, the village again plowed the roads after resident left for work to clean up the residual snow that was most likely tossed onto the roadways after the shoveling or snowblowing was done., Weinstock said. In Lawrence, village officials said that cleanup was completed on Sunday. The salters were out to reduce the amount of ice on the roads. Village officials requested that anyone who had to shovel to move the snow to the side of a street and not onto the roadway, Atlantic Beach Mayor George Pappas said the “‘village is clean” on Sunday and the Atlantic Beach Bridge and the portion of the Nassau Expressway nearest to the bridge had been plowed “to the pave-

ment” by the county and state, respectively. Pappas, who is the superintendent of Sanitary District 1, also asked residents to clear a path and place their trash and recyclable cans out in front of their homes "for the safety of the employees." He said there will no interruption of service as pickups will be on the regular Monday to Friday schedule this week. Life returned to normal after the governor’s declared state of emergency on Friday. The Long Island Rail Road resumed regularly scheduled service on Sunday after shutting service down on Saturday. Nassau Inter-County Express bus service also halted service on Saturday, resumed limited service later and then became fully operational on Sunday. 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. Town of Hempstead Supervisor Don Clavin had crews out salting and plowing the town’s 1,200 miles of road. Should there be still be power outages or downed wires, call PSEG at (800) 4900075.

Chowing down on the chulent at Brandeis

February 3, 2022 — NASSAU HERALD

Eight teams made up of 40 students from fifth to eighth grade Brandeis students showed off their culinary skills in the Lawrence school’s first-ever chulent cook-off on Jan. 28. Lined up in front of their crock pots the students stirred, spiced and then served their version of the traditional Jewish stew to six judges who rated the traditional Shabbos meal based on six attributes: taste, aroma, spice, texture, color and aftertaste. After all the tasting and judging Team 8 comprised of eighth-graders Branden Beshkin, Motty Gozenpud, Ella Sellouk and Maor Shabtay captured first place. Team 6 placed second and Team 1 finished in third place. The cook-off was the idea of Rabbi Nissan Goldberg, who said it was a way to show the students that though their cultural backgrounds might be differ-

ent, “We are all Jews and all celebrate Shabbos,” Goldberg said after he has emceed the event that took place at lunchtime. The student chefs a slow cooked their chulent dishes and were provided with the necessary ingredients and diced, sliced and seasoned their meals on Thursday afternoon. The dishes cooked overnight in the Frost Lane building, and the competition took the next day. Our judging panel included Esther DeMarco, who represented the Brandeis Parents’ Association, George Soba, the school’s facilities manager, Leslie Gang, Brandeis’s director of admissions and special celebrity judges Chef Oscar of DOMA, Jeffrey Bessen, editor of the Nassau Herald, and Mozelle Goldstein, a community chef. –Jeffrey Bessen

Pagemasters marks its time together By LISA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com

Pagemasters, a weekly reading and social program for challenged adults which meets at Hewlett-Woodmere Public Library, presented and unveiled a collaborative project, a 30-pound wooden sculpture, commemorating the past six years of learning together now displayed by the Cultural Program Specialist’s office in the library Pagemasters began in 2015 and meets every Monday to read, watch movies, play vocabulary games, take part in icebreakers, along with other activities. Nadine Connors, HWPL’s cultural program specialist, guides the Pagemasters and art program librarian Diana Brewster also works with the club. “The club is really run by them [the members],” Connors said. There are nearly eight regular Pagemasters members who have been involved with the program since it started and wanted to create something to display in the library to commemorate their time together. After working with Floral Parkbased local artist Steve Hetzel for several months, the Pagemasters contributed to the creation of the 30-pound wooden sculpture. Hetzel taught art lessons at the library before the coronavirus pandemic

struck and worked as a graphic designer and illustrator for 30 years. “We couldn’t have done it without his help and guidance,” Pagemasters member Jackie Emanuel said during the project presentation on Jan. 24. After presenting background information on the Pagemasters and the process behind the art project, members shared reasons why the book club is special to them, discussed their favorite books, and many expressed their appreciation for the social aspect of the club. “The club approved all drawings of the artwork, brain stormed ideas, chose colors, textures, and sanded the wood for the project,” said Matt Kaner, a Pagemasters member. “We chose our favorite books to be part of the sculpture, with quotes from them.” Group photos were also displayed as part of the artwork. Valley Stream resident Maryann Berger watched her son, Anthony Berger, present at the Pagemasters presentation. Since Anthony joined Pagemasters, Maryann has seen a significant improvement in his reading skills. “I notice he likes to read a lot more than he did before,” she said. “He enjoys it now and he comprehends it so much better because they all read together and then they discuss it, so you understand what you’re reading. It’s wonderful.”

While you can’t tell a book by its cover, sometimes its title covers more of the book than the pages within. Personally I’m blessed with our own perfect local bookstore, Blue Door Books, whose friendly, knowledgeable staff makes finding and buying a book as delightful an adventure as reading it. Last week, however, I was told of a somewhat different (and bizarre) establishment which offers an odd collection of texts whose titles do indeed tell all and, even perhaps a little more, than necessary. What follows is a random sampling of what’s out there to peruse rather than actually read: Under “local interest” we have: ■ “Paradise Regained: Central Avenue in late January”

Despite yielding 11- and 12-point runs in the first half and losing two starters — one to injury and one to five fouls — in the second half last Friday afternoon, Hewlett still had two late chances to force overtime at Valley Stream North. The Bulldogs, who trailed by as many as 12 in the fourth quarter, made it a onepossession game with less than a minute remaining and managed two quality looks from three-point range in the closing seconds but came up short, falling 63-60 in a Nassau Conference A-III boys’ basketball matchup. Malcolm Harrington tied a career-high with 21 points, and fellow seniors Godwin Eyiuche (14) and Harpreet Singh (10) also scored in double figures as the Spartans (10-5 overall) completed a season sweep of Hewlett and evened their conference record at 4-4. Senior Mark Winkler and junior Ryan Weiss, who sparked the Bulldogs’ (10-6 overall, 4-5 in A-III) rally, finished with 21 and 18 points, respectively. “It’s a big win since we’re fighting for third place and also just to get into the playoffs,” VSN first-year head coach Michael McVeigh said. “We weren’t sure we’d have Harrington for today’s game due to injury, but he turned out to be the difference. He practiced a little yesterday for the first time in a week, but you’d never know it based on how he played.” Normally a starter, Harrington was eased back into action and came off the bench with less than a minute to go in the first quarter after the Spartans scored 11 straight to erase an early 9-3 deficit. The lefty big scored 12 points in the second quarter, including 8 during a spurt that saw North close the half with a dozen consecutive points to lead 30-19. Another key to the first-half success, McVeigh said, was holding Weiss, who entered as Nassau’s leading scorer at 27.5 points per game, to one field goal. McVeigh credited senior Gio Grey, along with help defense from Eyiuche and senior Brian Farrell, with getting the job done. Grey and Farrell also chipped in 8 points apiece. “Gio’s our best on-ball

However, a 7-2 run by the Spartans to open the final quarter brought the margin back to a gamehigh 12. Weiss hit a trey with 4:44 to go to spark one last Hewlett push. The visitors lost

senior center Evan Greenberg along the way and had senior Nick Morgan (6 points) foul out, but didn’t go down without a fight. “We dug a hole but fought back and played more physically in the second half,” Hewlett head coach Bill Dubin said. “We had opportunities and came close, but close isn’t good enough.” The result left the Bulldogs needing wins in two of their last three games to guarantee a playoff berth. North needs to split its remaining four to get in.

Put down that phone – it’s time to take a quiz. Let’s see how you do! Choose A or B: Are you speaking to your spouse or friend? ■ You’re miffed that you’ve been kept waiting twenty minutes. ■ What happened? I was getting worried. If you’re running late, in the future please send me a text so I know you’re okay. ■ What’s wrong with you? I told you we were meeting at 6. Can’t you ever be on time? ■ You hate when people go on and on telling their stories with way too much detail. ■ I can’t listen anymore. Can’t you tell me anything without mentioning every little detail? ■ I get it. Your mom was taken aback by her car accident. It must have been tough.

■ You’re out for a lovely dinner. Someone at the table has spilled their drink. Spouse or friend? ■ Here’s a napkin to wipe it up. I’m glad it didn’t get all over your clothes.

exhaling slowly. Repeat. On the last exhale, say a positive affirmation, like: “It’ll be ok” or “It’s not a big deal.” Feel yourself letting go of the fury that’s been building up inside of you.

Person to Person

■ D a m n ! Yo u ’ ve h a d enough! Can’t you even hold on to your drink without spilling it? How did you do? I think you get my point. When we’re annoyed with friends, we inda typically respond respectfully. But when we’ re upset with our spouse, many of us forget our manners, responding with angry, nasty retorts. So if you admit to forgetting your manners, here are four ways to soften your response to your spouse – even when his/her behavior gets to you. ■ Take a deep breath. Inhaling slowly,

Sapadin

■ Now your body’s less tense. That’s good. Though you’re still annoyed, your need to be sarcastic or punitive has lessened. Hopefully, you can now become more solution-oriented, as in “If you’re running late, please text me and let me know so I don’t get worried.”

■ You can also respond in a way that’s emotionally connecting rather than distancing, as in “I get it. Your mom’s been upset. I know she was really shaken up by her car accident.” ■ When you’re no longer flooded with angry feelings, you can think through how you want to respond, rather than

reacting from rage. For example, “Perhaps you’ve had enough drinks for the evening; I hope you agree.” Yes, at times what our spouses do or don’t do will annoy us. This is inevitable. But how we respond to our spouses’ behavior will make the difference between: ■ feeling lonely or loved ■ feeling connected or distant ■ tensions escalating or diminishing ■ relationship is withering or growing.

State mask mandate remains in effect continued from front page shouldn’t be painted with the same broad brush as the rest of New York state.” “I believe that mask wearing at school should not be optional,” Lawrence High School senior Youry Tundidor wrote in an email to the Herald. “Though high school students are much less likely to be significantly affected by the virus, there are teachers, administrators, and staff that may be at a higher risk of contracting life-threatening symptoms. Out of respect and compassion for high-risk individuals, I firmly believe that masks should be kept on for the time being.” With no declared state of emergency, Rademaker ruled that the state did not have the authority to order mask-wearing in public places. Hochul needed to seek permission from the State Legislature to enact a state mandate, which she did not do, Rademaker noted. “I believe that masks are important to keep students safe at school,” Hewlett High junior Hiral Chavre wrote in an email to the Herald. “I feel much more comfortable when my peers are wearing their masks properly and don’t have that nagging fear of Covid transmission. If masks were not mandated, I would feel unsafe attending school out of fear of contracting the virus. By wearing masks, we are protecting ourselves and others.”

Christina Daly/Herald

Nassau CouNty ExECutivE Bruce Blakeman unleashed legal wrangling over masking with the executive orders he issued last month. Mask-wearing has come under fire from those who question its effectiveness in helping to keep people from contracting Covid-19, including the current dominant Omicron variant. Dr. Mark Sicklick, a Cedarhurst allergist and immunologist, said that while masks, when worn properly, are a help in pro-

tecting someone from spreading the virus, the two best ways to fight Covid are vaccination, and contracting the virus and becoming naturally immunized. “That is the optimal combo, but I’m not advocating going out and getting sick,” Sicklick said, adding that vacci-

nations and a booster are the best practical course of action, identical to what has been done over the years to fight measles, mumps and rubella. When it comes to masks, Sicklick said that the risks outweigh the benefits for children between ages 2 and 5 in preschool, when the focus is their socialization, and forcing them to wear a mask could cause harm. “I am not a fan of mandates for little kids,” he said, adding that the mask message has been “garbled.” Masks for pre-adolescents, teenagers and adults are fine, he said, and he wears one. At public and private schools in the Five Towns, students and staff are masked. “As always, we wait and follow directives,” Lawrence Superintendent Dr. Ann Pedersen said. “Our students, staff and families have been incredibly supportive of one another during this very challenging time.” The Hewlett-Woodmere School District is continuing its Covid-19 testing at the Woodmere Education Center, at 1 Johnson Ave., on Tuesdays from 4 to 8 p.m., Wednesdays from 8 to 11 a.m. and Thursdays from 1 to 5 p.m. “I hope that the availability of home test kits and extended testing opportunities helps to keep your family health throughout the winter,” Superintendent Ralph Marino Jr. wrote in a letter to district residents.

Residents decide Tuesday on fire district plans between the vehicles and the equipment. “The addition will give us the ability to accommodate the size changes with the vehicles,” said Relf, who has designed plans for at least 300 firehouses from Massachusetts to Florida. A reconfiguration of the metal handicapped-accessible ramp on the side of the firehouse, the elimination of the outdated fuel-dispensing system and underground storage tanks, and construction of a corridor connecting the firehouse with the annex are also part of the expansion plans. Other site work would include the installation of storm-water drainage rings, roof drainage connected to the storm-water system, paving, landscaping and modification of the firehouse’s Doughty Boulevard curb cut and front apron. The new truck is expected to cost roughly $2 million, and the amount to be borrowed is not to exceed $2 million. Inwood Fire District Manager Dennis Varriello told the Herald that along with the space problem, the larger truck is needed because at least two buildings are expected to be constructed in Inwood that will be five stories high, and there will likely be more construction with the anticipated transit-oriented residential and mixed-use developments in Inwood and North Lawrence. “It’s a tight fit — difficult to walk around, get access to the equipment and for firefighters to get dressed,” Varriello said,

noting that the firehouse has reached its capacity. The Inwood Fire Department was established in 1887. The fire district was formed in 1926. Fire districts are political entities with elected governing bodies — boards of commissioners — that create budgets. A fire district has the power both to incur debt and to require the levying of taxes. It purchases the equipment the Fire Department needs. Inwood’s department consists of Hose Company 314/Squad 318, Truck Company 313 and Engine Company 311. The volunteer unit has nearly 80 members, and responds to upward of 600 medical calls, 500 in-district fire calls and additional emergencies per year as part of mutual aid with the other 3rd Battalion departments: Hewlett, Meadowmere Park, LawrenceCedarhurst, Valley Stream and Woodmere. Noah Nadelson, the CEO of Port Jefferson-based Munistat, said that for a singlefamily home with an assessed value of $400 the bond would cost an additional $72.76 in annual property taxes. Munistat advises fire districts, libraries and municipalities on capital projects. “We went out of our way to not only get a truck that will help us protect homes but with these major developments,” said Fire Commissioner Anthony Rivelli Sr. The vote is next Tuesday, Feb. 8, from 6 to 9 p.m. at the firehouse, at 188 Doughty Blvd. in Inwood.

Empathy takes root at LPS

February 3, 2022 — NASSAU HERALD

Lawrence Primary School students took to the lesson learning from having Candace Christiansen’s book “The Mitten Tree” read to them like hand and glove. In the book, Sarah, who watches the children playing outside, one day sees that a boy at the school bus stop does not have any mittens on and cannot take part in the winter fun. Sarah knitted mittens for the boy and all the other children who did not have any. Sarah would hang the mittens on a tree at the bus stop to find them. The tale shows how small acts of kindness have a large impact. LPS students decorated their own mittens to share with others. The school also collected brand new hats, gloves and mittens for students who are in need of warm garments during the winter, promoting kindness and empathy for others. “In our school, we take great pride in inspiring our students to be kind and empathetic inside and outside of the classroom,” Principal Kristen Mcloughlin stated in a news release. “It was great to see our students actively participating in our schoolwide activity and to see them giving back to our community.”

HewLett HigH ScHooL students, (from left) Anneliese Baum, Carrie Zheng, Elizabeth Balzac and Benjamin Sherman, named semifinalists in the Junior Science and Humanities Symposium for their social science and science research experiments.

Students are semifinalists Four Hewlett High School students were named semifinalists in the Junior Science and Humanities Symposium. Seniors Elizabeth Balzac and Carrie Zheng took part in the Social Science category. Senior Benjamin Sherman and junior Anneliese Baum were in the Science Research category. Balzac’s project “The Complex Nature of Covid-19 Vaccine Hesitancy: An Investigation of Cognitive Bias, Personal Connection and Trust.” It investigated how much cognitive bias could affect people’s decision to get a Covid vaccine through three "subscales:" prior beliefs about the vaccine, vaccine-related information and the vaccine decision making process. “Do Contingencies of Self-Worth Influence Maternal Perceptions of Adolescent Autonomy?” is Zheng’s project. She found that the self-worth of a mother, depending on what it is based upon, may influence the relationships that moms have with their children. Sherman studied ways to optimize the efficiency of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells or proton

exchange membrane fuel cells. He demonstrated that incorporating small sized gold nanoparticles in PEMFCs would oxidate carbon monoxide and resultingly increase cell power efficiency. His research is “Size Optimization of Gold Nanoparticles Functionalized on PEMFC Interfaces to Increase Power Efficiency.” Baum studied the effect of KH-4-43, a novel chemical inhibitor, on specific ovarian and pancreatic cancer cell lines to better understand chemoresistance. She found that different cancer cells respond differently to the inhibitor and that understanding cell resistance during chemotherapy can help develop a combination therapy to decrease chemoresistance. Baum’s Research is titled: “Profiling pathway dysregulation in ovarian and pancreatic cell lines upon the loss of CUL4 E3 Ligase activity using novel inhibitor KH-4-43.” The semifinalists will present virtually on Feb. 6. Finalists and winners will be announced toughly two weeks later –Lisa Margaria

New members to address exorbitant rates and service

NASSAU HERALD — February 3, 2022

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 for many years 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 to the community in regards to the private water utility. 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

Herald File Photo

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. “As we move the process forward, we also think that it’s disheartening that the residents of America’s largest

township are being treated so disproportionately by our representatives in Albany,” Clavin said. “It’s time our Albany representatives provide equity to the residents of America’s largest township.” “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, which is set to be put into effect on Feb. 1.

TERMS OF SALE Such tax liens shall be sold subject to any and all superior tax liens of sovereignties and other municipalities and to all claims of record which the County may have thereon and subject to the provisions of the Federal and State Soldier’s and Sailors’ Civil Relief Acts. However, such tax liens shall have priority over the County’s Differential Interest Lien, representing the excess, if any, of the interest and penalty borne at the maximum rate over the interest and penalty borne at the rate at which the lien is purchased. The Purchaser acknowledges that the tax lien(s) sold pursuant to these Terms of Sale may be subject to pending bankruptcy proceedings and/or may become subject to such proceedings which may be commenced during the period in which a lien is held by a successful bidder or the assignee of same, which may modify a Purchaser’s rights with respect to the lien(s) the property securing same. Such bankruptcy proceedings shall not affect the validity of the tax lien. In addition to being subject to pending bankruptcy proceedings and/ or the Federal and State Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Acts, said purchaser’s right of foreclosure may be affected by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act (FIRREA), 12 U.S.C. ss 1811 et. seq., with regard to real property under Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) receivership. The County Treasurer reserves the right, without further notice and at any time, to withdraw from sale any of the parcels of land or premises herein listed. The rate of interest and penalty which any person purchases the tax lien shall be established by his bid. Each purchaser, immediately after the sale thereof, shall pay to the County Treasurer ten per cent of the amount from which the tax liens have been sold and the remaining ninety per cent within thirty days after such sale. If the purchaser at the tax sale shall fail to pay the remaining ninety per cent within ten days after he has been notified by the County Treasurer that the certificates of sale are ready for delivery, then all deposited with the County Treasurer including but not limited to the ten per cent theretofore paid by him shall, without further notice or demand, be irrevocably forfeited by the purchaser and shall be retained by the County Treasurer as liquidated damages and the agreement to purchase be of no further effect.

Time is of the essence in this sale. This sale is held pursuant to the Nassau County Administrative Code and interested parties are referred to such Code for additional information as to terms of sale, rights of purchasers, maximum rates of interest and other legal incidents of the sale.

Furthermore, as to the bidding, •The bidder(s) agree that they will not work with any other bidder(s) to increase, maintain or stabilize interest rates or collaborate with any other bidder(s) to gain an unfair competitive advantage in the random number generator in the event of a tie bid(s) on a tax certificate. Bidder(s) further agree not to employ any bidding strategy designed to create an unfair competitive advantage in the tiebreaking process in the upcoming tax sale nor work with any other bidder(s) to engage in any bidding strategy that will result in a rotational award of tax certificates.

District

1012

•The tax certificate(s) the Bidder will bid upon, and the interest rate(s) bid, will be arrived at independently and without direct or indirect consultation, communication or agreement with any other bidder and that the tax certificate(s) the Bidder will bid upon, and the interest rate(s) to be bid, have not been disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any other bidder, and will not be disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any other bidder prior to the close of bidding. No attempt has been made or will be made to, directly or indirectly, induce any other bidder to refrain from bidding on any tax certificate, to submit complementary bids, or to submit bids at specific interest rates.

District

•The bids to be placed by the Bidder will be made in good faith and not pursuant to any direct or indirect, agreement or discussion with, or inducement from, any other bidder to submit a complementary or other noncompetitive bid. •If it is determined that the bidder(s) have violated any of these bid requirements then their bid shall be voided and if they were the successful bidder the lien and any deposits made, in connection with, said bid shall be forfeited.

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

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 grants

.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. GoLDBerG Woodmere Goldberg, a criminal defense lawyer in New York, was previously a first deputy bureau chief in the Kings County district attorney’s office.

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.
