TEMPLE ISRAEL CATERER SUED OVER KOSHER VIOLATIONS

BY JONATHAN WALTER

By Scott P. Moore

Standard Staff Reporter

Employees of Morrell Caterers, the catering company used by Temple Israel of Lawrence, have filed a lawsuit against their employer Scott Morrell, accusing him of storing and cooking non-kosher foods such as pork and shrimp in the same pots used for kosher foods, as well as distributing the kosher food in the same truck used to distribute non-kosher food.

“Everything was tainted,” Tom Cataldo, General Manager for Morrell Catering told Newsday in regard to the events held by the company. “Next to kosher meat, you would have a bucket of raw shrimp.”

Morrell Catering issued a statement regarding the lawsuit, filed by Cataldo as well as Chef Michael Savitsky, on Wednesday, saying that the allegations are false and a Howard Fensterman, in retaliation over a bad investment, is using the plaintiffs.

“His motive is simple,” Morrell said. “Mr. Howard Fensterman is the defendant in a massive $19 million fraud case that poured millions of dollars into a Dubai insurance scam. Many are suing him but I am the only one who is not a powerful figure in the investment community. As a re-

Lawrence Mayor Martin Oliner is currently spearheading an effort to prepare The Five Towns Jewish Community against the possible threat of terrorism. In a last minute meeting on Thursday, January 9th, Oliner brought together various members and representatives of the community including Cedarhurst Mayor Andrew J. Parise, Legislator Howard Kopel, representatives from the Nassau County Police Department, and from Jewish organizations to discuss possible incentives to increase security and awareness.

“There’s nothing to panic about, but within our community, we have very specific needs and concerns,” Oliner announced at the start of the meeting. “We are potentially a very targeted community.”

Helping Five Towners Find True Love Online

BY SUSAN VARGHESE

Standard Associate Editor

By day, Patrick Morales is a partner at Five Towns Pixel, an internet Photo lab based in Hewlett, but in his free-time Morales is on a quest to help Five Towners find true love and romance. His fliers can be found in bagel stores and coffee shops around town, offering to help set up personal profiles on sites like Eharmony.com, Match. com, Jdate.com and Facebook.

Born in Chile, Morales grew up in Canada and moved to Hewlett when he was 14. He got a degree from Nassau Community College in photography, from where he attributes learning his skills. He’s been working at the photo company for 12 years, which offers varying services including transferring videos to DVD, photography, transferring photos on to posters, and more. It was at his job at the

Patrick Morales photo service company that he thought of the idea of setting up profiles.

“There are a lot of people that walk in and are secretive about it,” Morales said. “These are sometimes older people that ask you subtle questions, like, ‘is it hard to get a picture online?’”

Morales added, “It’s mostly older men and women who are very intimidated by the concept of going online. They’ve worked their whole lives, their partners passed away or they want to connect…that’s where I come in.

I try to make it easier for them.”

Although his demographic is mostly people over the age of 55, he’s open to helping anyone set up their personal or professional profiles on social media sites.

Morales will go to peoples’ homes to set up profiles and help them through the process.

“I ask them, ‘what do you want to do? What are you trying to do?’ I set it up for them,” Morales explained. “That’s when it gets personal…you really get to know the people and what they want.” An example, he noted, was about discovering peoples’ true selves, like a seemingly ordinary woman’s love for a little

The Fourth Congressional District, currently represented

by Carolyn McCarthy (D), could be merged with a nearby district from Queens in order to help offset the mandatedloss of congressional seats due to the latest U.S. Census data, according to unnamed sources in a report in the New York Daily News.

The Daily News report cites unnamed “insiders” who say State Senate and Assembly leaders are looking into potentially merging the Fourth and Fifth Congressional Districts as state leaders have begun to redraw the boundary lines. The Fifth District, which covers parts of Queens and Nassau County, is represented by Gary Ackerman, another Democrat. The report also cites that the lines would be “drawn in a way that favors Ackerman in a potential primary,” although McCarthy has roughly $630,000 cash on hand that she could use in a re-election effort.

Rep. Carolyn McCarthy has been in the House of Representatives since being elected in 1996.

Representative McCarthy has downplayed the report and released a statement noting that she would not let the potential merger affect her current work.

“I’ll let people in Albany worry about the Congressional lines while I continue pouring everything I’ve got into fighting for my constituents, New Yorkers, and Americans everywhere on issues like gun safety, wom-

The Cedarhurst Board of Trustees voted unanimously to suspend parking on the south side of Rugby Road from Rockaway Turnpike to Buckingham Road in an effort to allow traffic flow after cars began parking on the side of the street, clogging up the roadway.

The move was voted on after the village held a public hearing with concerned residents during the Board of Trustees’ monthly meeting on Monday evening. Village officials say residents on Rugby Road had complained that cars began parking after a nearby lot for the Starbucks Coffee on Rockaway Turnpike

Lawrence Lawyer Making a Big Name for Himself

By JONATHAN WALTER Standard Staff Reporter

Gary Mandel has gone from local attorney to the biggest name in The Five Towns, literally. Mandel now has a large billboard on Rockaway Turnpike for his law practice touting his legal services when it comes to accident, injury, and immigration. The sign is located on Rockaway Turnpike on the way into The Five Towns, by Springfield Gardens, making it an easy to spot ad for locals on their way back into town from their commute into the city.

Mandel was born and raised in the Far Rockaway area, graduated from HAFTR, then Queens College before going to Touro Law School. and is currently a Lawrence resident, where he is married and has three boys and a girl. He is following in his father’s footsteps, taking over the family law office in Far Rockaway.

“I practice primarily personal injury

law and immigration law,” Mandel said.

“I was lucky enough to have a dad in the practice. When I graduated law school I joined him. Unfortunately he passed away seven years ago. But we’re trying to keep the same tradition. My father was a very honest, straightforward lawyer’s lawyer. He loved helping people. That’s pretty much what we like to do: try to help people get their green cards. There’s great satisfaction in reuniting families that haven’t seen each other and bringing people together, letting them become citizens and productive people in the community.”

While he wouldn’t go as far as embracing a new celebrity status due to the sign, he has been happy with the results.

“I’ve been doing this for 22 years in the same office, same location, same phone number, and most of my practice is through word of mouth,” Mandel said. “I figured after 22 years, I’d try the billboard

plans will give him more territory in Queens held by Representative Bob Turner (R-Middle Village) rather than Nassau County. “Traditionally, usually it’s the people that are freshman� whose seats are taken, he told reporters at the Times Ledger. The Daily News report says that Democrats, however, want to protect the district currently held by Turner and formerly held by Anthony Weiner, believing it to be a Democratic area.

A reporter with YNN, a 24hour news network run by Time Warner Cable, spoke with New York State Assemblyman Jack McEneny (D-Albany), who stated he had not heard a single thing about McCarthy’s district being eliminated. “No such decision has been made,â€? he said to YNN. “This is the ďŹ rst I’ve heard the speciďŹ city of two particular districts being merged.â€?

Republican Fran Becker, who ran against McCarthy for her seat in the 2010 election, said he would be surprised if the state decided to merge the district. “I think its ridiculous if that’s what they end up doing,� he said. “Combining portions of Nassau with Queens – they’re completely different areas.�

Becker also noted the con-

icting reports from different outlets and rumors from ofďŹ cials. “Right now, we’re just getting conicting reports and I won’t believe anything until I hear anything ofďŹ cially. It has been consistently conicting, its all conjecture.â€?

Currently, 17 of the 29 representative seats from New York are from New York City or Long Island. McCarthy has been the Fourth District’s representative since being elected in 1996, three years after the shooting death of her husband and injuring of her son, and has pushed for gun-control while in the House of Representatives. McCarthy is also the ďŹ rst and only woman to have been elected as a representative from Long Island.

The Fourth Congressional District currently covers much of western Nassau including Mineola, the Hewletts, East Rockaway, Rockville Centre, Woodmere, North Woodmere, Woodsburgh, Oceanside, Garden City, Hempstead, Uniondale, East Meadow, Roosevelt, Franklin Square, Cedarhurst, Lawrence, Inwood, West Hempstead, Valley Stream, and Elmont.

The Fifth Congressional District includes parts of Queens such as Bayside, Corona, Douglaston, Flushing, Jamaica Estates, Whitestone, and Little Neck as well as Nassau County’s Floral Park, Searingtown, Great Neck, Sands Point, Manhasset, Port Washington, Albertson, and Roslyn.

Temple Israel Caterer Sued Over Kosher Violations CONTINUED FROM P. A1 sult he is going after someone he views as vulnerable. He has discovered that I will not allow myself to be victimized twice -- once by a fraudulent investment and then by acceding to his demand that I withdraw from the lawsuit or face his vindictive wrath.�

He went on to point out his record in the kosher food service industry. “Those of you who have worked with me over the decades know of my family’s commitment to observing the strictest instructions of Kashrut,�

Morrell said. “You also know that I take my responsibility to the Jewish community as a solemn promise to deliver excellence with every meal. There is no price that can be attached to that trust and I will not allow my family’s heritage to be tarnished by a terror attack on my company.�

James Rotenberg, president of Temple Israel in Lawrence, was surprised to hear the news. “All we know is that we read about the litigation in the newspaper the same as anyone else,�

Rotenberg said. “We have a contract that requires the kitchen and food to be kosher. We know he’s under the supervision of VAAD of Flatbush and we were certainly surprised by it.â€? “In this litigious society, anyone can say anything,â€? Rotenberg went on to say. “We have no reason to believe that those claims are true. The affairs and functions are run at our temple are either kosher or Glatt kosher. They have a VAAD certiďŹ cate. Anybody can claim anything. We’ve known Mr. Morrell for a while and we have faith and trust in him. Unless proven otherwise, I don’t see why we’d make any change.â€?

Rotenberg did say that if Morrell Catering was found to have served non-kosher food at Tem-

ple Israel, they would be in violation of their contract with the temple, and that they would reevaluate the situation then.

In conjunction with Morrell’s statement, Rabbi Abraham Alper, from VAAD of Flatbush, the kosher supervisor tried to defend Morrell’s integrity. “I won’t speak to any of the legal issues that have been raised,â€? Alper said. “It would be inappropriate to offer an opinion one way or another and the courts will ultimately provide a verdict. I can, and will, however, speak to the personal integrity of the Morrells. I have known them and respected them for decades and have personally witnessed them apply the highest standards of Jewish law to food preparation. My conďŹ dence in their personal integrity and honesty is unwavering.â€?

While the lawsuit is in progress a restraining order has been placed on Morrell catering, preventing them from destroying their own records.

The owner of a Five Towns caterer who did not wish to be named described how his own company maintains their high kosher standards. “What we do to ensure that this doesn’t happen, is have our kitchens under constant video surveillance by the KOF-K ofďŹ ce which is in Teaneck New Jersey,â€? the catering company’s owner said.

In addition, the owner, while Jewish, is a non-Sabbath observer and is not even permitted to have keys to his own kitchen. So if the kosher supervisor is not present, he is allowed to run his business, but not permitted into the kitchen.� “It’s hard to ensure kosher standards when it’s both glatt kosher and non-glatt kosher, like Morrell is,� the owner said. “When you’re not glatt kosher, you’re really supervising yourself. So being one or the other makes it easier.�

Synagogues, Institutions Prepare For Terror Risks CONTINUED FROM P. A1 al Director of the Secure Community Network (SCN), spoke extensively about preventive measures. The SCN is a part of the American Jewish community’s response to increased security concerns. Their main function is to share information in emergency situations and increase security awareness at Jewish Organizations and institutions.

Goldenberg recalled a recent trip to Berlin where security concerns were much more extreme and sparked some of his security efforts. “I was walking down the street and as I approached this building with very high walls and barbed wire fences‌[there were] police with submachine guns and they were marching up and down and I looked up at my host and I said ‘Wow, that must be the intelligence [building]‌’ He looked at me and said this is a Jewish kindergarten. That was only two and a half years ago.â€?

After a phone call on Febru-

ary 8th that involved some of the most senior members of the F.B.I and Jewish leaders, Goldenberg noted that there are no speciďŹ c or imminent threats. But, he added, “According to our intelligence services, to the best of their knowledge, everything you hear about increased anxiety between Israel and Iran, and Iran and the U.S. – it’s real folks‌ If activities unravel in the Middle East, it can change on a dime.

We don’t know. We don’t know who can take it upon themselves after sitting and watching television, to pick up a weapon and walk into our institution like they did in Seattle, Washington.�

According to Goldenberg, the three steps that need to be done moving forward are setting up a good communication system, training, which can be done in a matter of two to three days, and blueprints and points of contact from each institution to the Nassau County Police Department. The training would involve bonaďŹ de experts in bomb

Helping Five Towners Find True Love Online CONTINUED FROM P. A1 rock and roll. “You know the lady who comes and gets her eight by six photo glossies [at Pixel], then she’s telling you about how she drinks scotch every night and [loves] rock music.’�

Using his background in photography, Morales also takes pictures for his clients to use on their proďŹ les. “For proďŹ les, there

are ways of taking a good picture for dating. People are always particular about their pictures.�

After he sets up the initial proďŹ le, most people call him with follow-up questions, setting changes, or updates. Sometimes, they just need help to change the picture. “Most of my call backs are to change a picture. After a few times they don’t need to keep calling. Because I know

identiďŹ cation, identifying suspicious activity, how to handle an evacuation and how to stay alive if an active shooter comes into the building.

Oliner expressed concern getting everyone on a level playing ďŹ eld. “We have synagogues that are operating on The Sabbath. Who have most of their members there on one given time‌some synagogues have people who carry walkie-talkies, we have another group of synagogues that have off-duty policemen in front, we have others that don’t have any of that.â€?

However, according to Goldenberg, training is not for the person with the walkie-talkie or the security guard. It’s for regular citizens who volunteer and work inside the synagogue or the Jewish institution.

Commanding OfďŹ cer of the Fourth Precinct, Christopher Cleary said that people could help day-to-day just by reporting suspicious activity. “The best thing you can do for the police department is to make that call that goes, ‘This is probably nothing, but‌â€? We love those calls.â€?

Parise gained a lot from the meeting, he said. “I learned a lot

-- I can tell you that. It’s the ďŹ rst meeting we had on it. I’m very much concerned as they are‌we have to think about what was said about creating some sort of plan. You never know what’s going to happen‌It can happen at any public ofďŹ ce, church or wherever people are assembled.

I’m very interested and much concerned. Nobody’s immune to it so we need to be on guard.

I was very impressed [with the meeting].�

Rina Shkolnik, Executive Director of the JCC of the Greater Five Towns said, “I think it’s an important issue and I think that each organization needs to think about these things and prepare some type of plan of action.

I was deďŹ nitely aware of it. I think what the mayor did today raises awareness and the training idea is a great idea‌It’s not just a Five Towns issue. It’s above and beyond the ďŹ ve towns. It’s a bigger issue.â€?

Goldenberg also added, “ Our synagogues, our places of worship are ours. We will not build walls around our schools‌ We can make ourselves safer through empowerment not through fear.â€?

them and their information, I can just do it for them, too. My goal is I do want them to ďŹ nd a partner. I helped one lady who loved horses, we made a proďŹ le for her and she found a horse guy in Roslyn.â€?

The most popular site he sets up for is Jdate.com, a Jewish singles site. Although social media and dating sites are very common, Morales said that people are shy to ask for help. “They don’t have anything to be ashamed of‌All these people have stories to tell [and share].

These are established members

of the community, they always say please don’t tell anyone.

Don’t be afraid. You’re not alone in it – there’s someone out there for everyone. My service is very private and customized.�

People who have been married for years can ďŹ nd the person for them later on in life Morales said. “That’s also what makes it fun. You really get to know people. That’s what I’m in it for, to help people.â€?

Morales can be contacted for services at fivetownsman@yahoo.com or by phone at 516-9651522.

measure with the promise to revisit it in a month to see how effective it has been. The board added this provision after another Rugby Road resident noted her

concern that customers and employees would simply park further down the road and walk the distance to avoid the possibility of parking violations.

CONTINUED FROM P. A1 filled up. Patrons and employees of businesses in the small shopping center would park on both sides of the road, which left little room for two-way traffic to squeeze by on the nearly 300 feet of roadway between Buckingham Road and busy Rockaway Turnpike.

“I think this is a great idea,” said Gary Bader, a resident on Rugby Road. “This will make it safer and easier from traffic to move.”

The board passed the No Parking signs like this will now be installed on the south side of Rugby Road to help alleviate traffic problems.

Residents of the nearby area also complained about another home on the side street that cited possible safety concerns as well as an unappealing amount of “rubbish” lying around the property.

Trustee Ari Brown noted the property was in foreclosure and the bank assigned to repossess the home was having some trouble.

Brown said the process could take a long time and the village would keep an eye on the situation.

The Board of Trustees also

passed several other measures during the meeting, all unanimously.

Board members voted in favor to hold a public hearing on the possibility of adding a village code concerning gardeners and landscapers and appointed Inspectors of Election to serve at upcoming village elections on March 20th.

The next Cedarhurst Board of Trustees meeting will be held on March 5th, 2012 at 8:00 p.m. in the meeting room of the Cedarhurst Village Hall.

Rambam Students Meet Actor and Author at 92Y

T

he Rambam Mesivta Classic Film Club interviewed with film and TV legend, Mandy Patinkin at the 92nd St. Y this past week. Mr. Patinkin, the star of the films Yentyl, The Princess Bride, Ragtime,

and the TV shows Chicago Hope, Criminal Minds, and Homeland discussed his life and career with prolific author, Thane Rosenbaum, in a candid and at times emotionally touching exchange.

Mr. Patinkin was the product

of a traditional Jewish upbringing on Chicago’s Southside. He recalled his days singing in the boys’ shul choir with great fondness. He told the story of the genesis of his renowned Yiddish record, “Mamaloshen.” He re-

vealed that one of his mentors asked him to do a record and kept shooting down all his concepts. He then offered the idea of a CD sung entirely in Yiddish, which he assumed his mentor would laugh at, and to his surprise, the idea was accepted. After recording the first song on the record, his mentor, with tears in his eyes declared,”Mandy, making this album is what you were meant to do.”

One of the highlights of the talk focused on the sudden and mysterious departure of the famed actor from the highly successful and lucrative Criminal Minds show.

Speaking about it publicly for the first time, Mr. Patinkin shared the true reasons why he left. He explained that he was brought up “To be afraid even when I didn’t have to be,” and it took him two years to get over his fear. The fear centered around never being financially secure, even though he was, and this fear allowed him to

ignore the fact that he was participating in a dark show which is the antithesis of everything he believes in. Mr. Patinkin’s artistic heroes are William Shakespeare and Stephen Sondheim, artists whom he finds, “Bring light to the darkness.” It took him a great deal of introspection and courage, but he finally summoned the will to leave the show and the financial success and security it brought since he didn’t believe it was the right thing for him to associate with.

Mr. Patinkin shared stories about Barara Streisand, Madonna, Martin Sheen, Al Pacino, Sydney Lumet and a host of other major Hollywood players. Throughout the night he remained humble and grounded, constantly invoking the nachas he gets from his children and appreciating family more than anything.

Rambam Mesivta offers cultural opportunities to its many stu-

dents and parents and regularly takes advantage of the best that the 92nd St. Y and Manhattan have to offer. This year alone, between the Meet The Author Book Club and The Classic Film Club, students from Rambam Mesivta have had the privilege to meet and/or hear from such prestigious luminary minds as Elie Wiesel, author of Night; Malcolm Gladwell, author of The Tipping Point; Dan Senor, author of Startup Nation; Buddy Elias (Anne Frank’s only living relative), and now Emmy and Golden Globe winning actor, Mandy Patinkin and Thane Rosenbaum, author of The Golems of Gotham, who is pictured with the Rambam Mesivta Classic Film Club.

It was a night of pizza, icecream and culture. But, what made it a transcendent night was the message of the actor, a man who makes his living pretending to be what he is not, who urged everyone to just be real.

Tornadoes Whip Bulldogs in 72-52 Win

By JONATHAN WALTER Standard Staff Reporter

T

he Lawrence Golden Tornadoes completed a season sweep over the Hewlett Bulldogs in Boys Basketball on Friday night at Hewlett High School with a 73-52 victory. Lawrence took a big lead early and then let Hewlett close the gap before running away with the game in the fourth quarter.

The win keeps Lawrence in first place in the conference at 8-0, and Hewlett now sitting two games back at 6-2 with both losses coming against their crosstown rival.

Lawrence started the game on an 11-2 run and never looked back. They ran up and down the floor leaving Hewlett players unable to catch up to their fast break offense that featured some high flying lay ups.

Hewlett was able to get into a rhythm offensively in the second quarter and played better defensively, matching Lawrence with 12 points each in the frame and went into halftime down 3522.

In the third quarter, the Bulldogs finally seemed to come alive. Playing with an enthusiasm and fire not seen in the first half, the team, lead by forward Weldon Irvine, got back into the game on a run that closed the scoring gap to seven points.

Hewlett actually outscored the Lawrence 15-12. They utilized the trap defense with success and finally began to look as if they could compete with Lawrence.

It was all for naught though as, in the fourth quarter, Lawrence finally put the game away. A.J. Gallo came in and scored his only points of the game, two three pointers off the bench and

Dwayne Daniel came through with six points as well to aid Lawrence’s 26-point scoring explosion.

“A.J. knows his role and that’s to knock down open shots when he gets the opportunity,” Lawrence Head Coach Joe Supple said. “He missed a couple of games here, but he came back.

He’s a senior and he’s one of our leaders and he hits a few great shots for us tonight.”

“We had it down to seven points and then we gave it right back to them,” Hewlett Head Coach Bill Dubin said. “We couldn’t sustain it. That’s been our weakness. We’ve never been able to finish teams off and we still can’t. That was actually the way we wanted to play defense from the beginning. We just didn’t do it. If we can do it for four quarters, we might have a shot. If not, it will be the same

result.”

For Lawrence, there were plenty of points to go around. Daniel finished with 22 points. Eddie Robinson had 19, and Clifton Lyerly had 14. Robinson and Lyerly also earned themselves doubledoubles with 19 and 16 rebounds respectively.

Kwadwo Agyapong Lawrence’s Eddie Robinson gets some height as he goes airborne for the two-point basket against Hewlett on Friday evening. Lawrence defeated Hewlett for the second time this season, 73-52, and went on to defeat LevittownDivision 71-34 to clinch the number one seed in the upcoming playoffs.

contributed with six assists.

“That was a tough one,” Supple said.

“Hewlett’s a good team. They came out and mixed it up early with some different defensive looks and they got some very good athletes. They played us tough from start to finish and I give them a lot of credit. They kept mixing and subbing with us, they’d go eight or ten deep and kept coming at us. That’s a good team that’ll be dangerous come playoff time.”

For Hewlett, Weldon Ir-

“We’re can’t lose to the number one team in the league by 20 something points for two games in a row and expect to be good,” Dubin said. “We missed a whole bunch of free throws and a whole bunch of lay ups. We let them rebound the heck out of us and it’s the same conversation I

had after the last game against them. We’re not tough enough yet to be competitive with good teams. They are hard nosed and get after it and we didn’t. Every loose ball they got and every loose rebound they got. That’s the way the game goes.”

Both teams are currently playoff bound as the number one and two seeds in their conference and could meet again in a potential third match up of the season. However, against Lawrence’s up-tempo style of play, Hewlett has a lot of work to do if they want to be competitive.

DRS Defeats HAFTR 54-40 in Yeshiva League Play

By JONATHAN WALTER Standard Staff Reporter

I

n a rivalry basketball game between cross town yeshiva high schools, the DRS Wildcats of Woodmere took it to the HAFTR Hawks of Cedarhurst on Tuesday night at DRS High School, coming up with a 54-40 victory. The win for DRS only serves to give them a potential boost in playoff position, while the loss for HAFTR keeps them looking for the one more win they need to secure a playoff spot of their own.

DRS took charge immediately in the game. They opened on an 11-0 run that was keyed by Yisrael Goldberg’s impressive shooting from beyond the arc, going three for three. DRS finally allowed HAFTR to get on the board and ended the first quarter up 14-7.

“He’s the captain of the team,” DRS Head Coach Jared Solomon said of Goldberg. “He’s

In the second half, HAFTR fared much better, but it wasn’t enough for them to catch up to DRS. The Hawks outscored the Wildcats 10-9 in the third quarter and 20-16 in the fourth to make the score a bit more respectable. The Yeshiva League game didn’t feature a shot clock and with a minute and a half left, DRS players played “keep away” with HAFTR players frantically trying to foul them in order to keep their hopes for a win alive. It was to no avail however as DRS was able to run out the clock and win the game.

“It was a big game and a big win for us,” Solomon said.

“We were 0-3 against HAFTR in the last two years coming into this game. It’s a nice momentum builder for the playoffs. HAFTR is a very tough

been such a great player for us this year. His leadership is tremendous. He plays hard and does whatever you ask him to do.”

HAFTR’s poor shooting from both the floor and the free throw line hurt their chances in the game tremendously. HAFTR Head Coach Joe Hoenig said his team had not had a practice since before a two-week school break, but says he isn’t making excuses and that the team should have performed better.

They were effective in drawing fouls as they made their way to the net, but couldn’t take advantage once they got there.

“We were nine for 27 from the foul line,” Hoenig said. “We had too many easy shots that we missed uncontested. Defensively we weren’t terrible but we weren’t too sharp either.”

DRS really ran away with the game in the second quarter, outscoring HAFTR 13-3 to go into halftime with a 27-10 lead.

team. They play a “Helter Skelter” style of basketball, we tried to keep our composure and tonight we made enough plays to get the job done.”

The win improves DRS’s record to 9-4, while HAFTR falls to 7-5. DRS has one more game left on Saturday at 9:30 p.m. against HANC at home before the playoffs begin in a few weeks. HAFTR has two regular season games remaining and will play their final home game the next Tuesday at Lawrence Middle School against Shaarei Torah.

“We played some tough team defense from the get go. Guys were talking and communication with each other and rebounding the basketball. It was a good team effort all around.”

For DRS, Goldberg finished with 10 points, while Shimmy Stimitz and Yoel Schrier lead all scorers with 16 points each. Jonathan Zylberberg lead HAFTR with 14 points scored.

Hewlett Girls Rally From 22 Down, Beat Lawrence 64-58

T

he Hewlett Bulldogs girls varsity basketball team led a vicious rally against the cross-Five Towns rival Lawrence Golden Tornadoes to win 64-58 in a conference game at Lawrence High School on Friday afternoon, becoming one of the few Hewlett teams to beat Lawrence this year. Hewlett’s Sam DiSalvo led the huge rally with an astounding 32 points.

“We’ve had very close games that have gotten away from us in the fourth quarter,” said Hewlett

Head Coach Tommy Johnson.

“This is the first game where we turned around and won.”

The game began with both teams trading the lead several times before Lawrence began to maintain control of the ball. A key 7-2 run towards the end of the quarter gave the Tornadoes a 19-14 lead at the buzzer.

The second quarter belonged entirely to Lawrence. After Hewlett came within eight points at 26-18, Lawrence went on a 13-5 run to close out the second quarter. A key block by junior Nicole Robinson off a Hewlett rebound gave her an easy two points and helped propel her team into the half with a dominating 43-22 lead.

The Bulldogs did not give up coming out for the second half.

In the third quarter, Hewlett’s defense helped to quiet what had been a free-shooting Law-

rence offense by only allowing three points in the entire quarter. Meanwhile, Hewlett’s Gabby Casanova and Sam DiSalvo each chipped in five points a piece to the team’s total of 14. Hewlett was down, but not out, at 46-36 at the end of the third.

“It was foul trouble,” said Johnson. “We got them in foul trouble. We said from the beginning that if we can dribble, drive

and get them in foul trouble, we could use that to our advantage.”

Holding Lawrence to only three points in the third, to Johnson, was the key to the game.

“Once we turned that third quarter around, I think we were down only eight or nine going into the fourth and we have a very, very good player [DiSalvo]

Lawrence Slays Dragons, Clinch #1 Playoff Seed

By Scott P. Moore Standard Staff Reporter

R

iding four different players’ double digit point totals, the Lawrence Golden Tornadoes overcame a slow start to finish off the Levittown-Division Blue Dragons on Tuesday, 71-34, clinching the number one seed in the Conference A-II playoffs.

Things started out very slow for what is usually a fast-paced, high octane offense for Lawrence by coming out of the gate down 8-4 to Division in the early goings of the first quarter. Led by junior Eddie Robinson’s eight points, the offense roared back to life by scoring 10 straight points before Division chipped in another two to the end quarter. Lawrence was up 14-10 at the end of the first. “[Division] did a good job,” said Lawrence Head Coach Joseph Supple. “It looked like their goal was to attack us inside early and we had to make some adjustments. No excuses though, they played a solid game early and we had to regroup.”

While the Golden Tornadoes’ offense began coming back to life, the defense picked up the slack by slamming the door on the Blue Dragons during the second quarter. Lawrence went on a 10-2 run to start the second quarter and kept Division to only seven points through the quarter. The Lawrence offense, however, spread itself out between Robinson, Dwayne Daniel, Clifton Lyerly and Randy Wallace – all of which had at least four points in the quarter.

Going into half time, Lawrence was in control of its destiny with a strong 32-17 lead.

“I was proud of the way we

were able to turn it around defensively when we had to since we came out a little dead,” said Supple. “[Division] forced us into some bad turnovers early, but we really settled in defensively and let it lead to some easy scores.”

Coming out of the locker room, the Golden Tornadoes looked set to maintain their lead and put the game out of reach.

Outside of two shots by Divi-

sion, the Golden Tornadoes’ defense kept the Blue Dragons off the board for the first four minutes of the third quarter. The extra time allowed the offense to hit cruise control and jumped out to a 47-22 lead on a 15-5 run.

Division’s offense began fighting back and managed to squeeze out six more points during the quarter, but Lawrence matched it blow-for-blow with eight of

their own. At the end of the third quarter, Lawrence was up 55-28.

“We just had to make some minor adjustments,” said Supple. “I think we’re good when we don’t turn it over – we talked about not turning the ball over.”

Coach Supple began to echo the moves he has made in previous blowout games by switching out his starters for regularly benched players. Robinson and Daniel were out of the game after two minutes in the third, handing the reigns over to the Golden Tornadoes’ backups. Like they have all season, the squad proved more than valuable by putting up a strong fourth quarter. Division simply ran out of gas against Lawrence, as proved by a strong 16-6 quarter to close out the game. At the final buzzer, Lawrence walked away with a perfect record and a 71-34 victory.

“This definitely feels good,” said Supple. “It was one of the goals we set early on in the year – to win the conference. Our list now is a little longer than that.”

He added: “Our next goal to focus on the first round of the playoffs and get a win.”

Lawrence will play its final regular season game Friday against Sewanhaka at home at 6:30 p.m.

Notes: Eddie Robinson and Clifton Lyerly each had 16 points a piece, leading all scorers... Robinson, Lyerly, Dwayne Daniel (15) and Wallace (12) all had double digit points for Lawrence... Wallace had 9 rebounds while Lyerly pulled in 8 rebounds... Lawrence shot 61.1 percent from the free throw line (11-for-18)... Lawrence has averaged 73.8 points per game in conference while only allowing an average of 39.7 points to opponents.

Congressional Redistricting

W

e report this week on our front page that there is a very real possibility that New York’s 4th Congressional District which encompasses a big chunk of

Nassau County including The Five Towns might be eliminated as part of federally-mandated redistricting called for based on the results of the 2010 census. Because so many people left New York between 2000 and 2010, our state will lose two congressional seats (Texas, Arizona and Florida pick up a whole bunch). The conventional wisdom is that one seat will be axed upstate and one downstate, probably here on Long Island.

The Republicans will probably lose a seat (upstate) and the Democrats will lose one down here. The scuttlebutt is that the 4th District’s Carolyn McCarthy, in office since 1996, will probably go because most of the districts bordering hers are also populated by Democratic incumbents and one Democrat has got to go. Because of Democratic strength in New York City, Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver will be protecting his NYC delegation, so Rep. McCarthy may well find herself facing-off in a Democratic primary this September perhaps with Queens-Nassau Congressman Gary Ackerman. That may not bode well for Ms. McCarthy.

Any new district we find ourselves in will certainly encompass a much larger land mass than the 4th District currently occupies and will concurrently bring in a whole host of new issues and interest groups, especially if we find ourselves in a district which overlaps into Queens. The current 4th District, by being entirely Nassau and suburban means that the residents of the district share a lot of concerns and lifestyles. City residents are not always on the same page with those of us in the suburbs and it would be a shame as part of redistricting were we to share a Member of Congress with those

YOU ARE ABOUT TO LOSE SOME COPS IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD

he other day I took the Long Island Railroad into the city. While standing in the Cedarhurst stationhouse, a group of policeman were handing out leaflets and talking with the customers about the proposed closing or combining of police precinct houses.

When my family decided to move into The Five Towns, one of the prime considerations was the safety aspects of living in the suburbs over that of New York City. In the 12 years we have lived here, we have been comforted by the rapid responses of the police as well as their obvious presence.

As a taxpayer, I recognize that times are tough and cuts have to be made somewhere. I propose that the county eliminate the passport services it provides in supplication of the Federal Government rather than even considering putting police cuts on the table.

Do this little exercise with me. Hold out your

“city slickers” to the west of us. We urge the powers that be in Albany to keep The Five Towns as part of a Long Island district where suburbanites will have more influence on how our representative votes and where city-suburban tensions won’t be an issue.

By Joel Moskowitz

Madness” has been a success in the past has been because of free ing meters (which generate seven-figures of income for the Villages of Cedarhurst and Lawrence) combined with the often vulturelike methods of the meter maids and the ever-escalating costs of parking tickets only serve to drive consumers to shop online or in Hewlett (free parking) or in the big shopping centers on Rockaway Turnpike (free parking) or go to malls like Roosevelt Field or The Americana (also free parking). The “glory days” of the 60s and 70s in Cedarhurst are long gone. The only way to make sure Cedarhurst is a healthy shopping destination is by making it an easy, friendly and convenient place to shop. Worrying if you have some quarters and then worrying about $25 to $100 tickets (with late fees) doesn’t facilitate or enhance that. Far better to emulate Southampton (a pretty ritzy small town shopping district) where you get two hours of free parking and they chalk your tires. Go over the two hours, get a ticket but the first two hours are gratis. No quarter pressure.

Putting meters and tickets aside, the Cedarhurst BID is to be commended for coming up with many creative ways to bring people into town to shop, stroll and dine out, often complete with live entertainment. The heart and soul of a town are its main streets and local merchants. This is critical to having a vibrant civic life.

We don’t want our area to resemble a tumbleweed ghost town.

Think of Cedarhurst as a giant open-air mall with all the amenities with no end of boutique merchants. This Saturday evening the retailers of Cedarhurst are slashing prices and the village is offering free parking. With Valentine’s Day coming on Tuesday, this is a great time to get out and make an evening of shopping for that special something for that special someone while saving some money, staying close to home and supporting our local merchants. Finally, take a look at our “Avenue” page (Page B1) this week for Valentine’s recommendations – many of whom are in Cedarhurst.

hands in front of you palms up. Imagine the words passport services in your left hand and police services in your right. Imagine balancing your two hands. Which group of words would you rather throw away. Closing police precincts as a cost savings measure is an unthinkable option. I am sure there are many other programs beside passport services which could fit into this example. This county spends money on many wasteful things like duplicative services, outside counsels and consultants, all of which might be better examined, rather than making cuts in police presence.

This is where government has a real chance to make changes for the good which will result in real savings for the taxpayers. There are so many Holy Grails in Nassau Government, but I must reiterate one that I have written about previously. If New York City can have a unified Department of Education, why can’t Nassau County?

Look at the benefits. Top echelon administration could be cut significantly. How many Superintendents, Deputy Superintendents, etc. do we need? We could obtain better and more cost effective collective bargaining agreements with teachers and other professionals. We would not need to have individualized legal staffing for each district.

We could have a unified Capital Improvement program in which better and more cost effective bidding and oversight can occur at significant savings to us on that school tax bill we get every year that makes our blood boil. We could provide more organized special education services and could work more consistently for grant money. And

F

ootball is by far the most popular spectator sport in America and some have argued that it has replaced baseball as “America’s game.” Football is a game that requires brute strength, speed, discipline and most importantly intelligence. I would argue that the intelligence required to play football far surpasses that of other sports. Most people, myself included, don’t know enough about the game to know when a linebacker is downfield covering a tight end or when a defense switches from a four-three to a three-four.

What we do know and what makes us love the game is that eleven guys on one side are trying to move the ball forward and that eleven guys on the other side are trying to stop them. Strength and speed while vital to success is always trumped by discipline and intelligence.

Due to the nature of the sport, football can only be played once a week. My friend Bruce taught me an adage some years back that I try to live by; “four hours a week that’s all I ask.” Translation; “my team plays once a week for four hours honey, it’s the only time I want to myself, besides the season is only 16 weeks long and maybe just a little longer if we make the playoffs.” And so it’s been for 25 plus years. I still watch the occasional Yankee or Rangers game but not with the zeal I have for the Giants. Additionally, as the kids got older those four hours have been bonding experiences for us and something we often look forward to do-

ing together.

Personally, I’m a horrible fan. I curse every play and call made, I second-guess the failures and credit luck for the successes. I’m never really satisfied.

As a Giants fan, I never really warmed up to Tom Coughlin, I thought he always won enough games to just keep his job but would never be great. Even the victory in Super Bowl XLI was in my eyes more due to David Tyree than the coaching staff.

Eli Manning looked like he was so lethargic as to make me nuts, and Coughlin always had this look of bewilderment after every penalty and missed play. What I didn’t appreciate and failed to understand was the sheer intelligence and the loyalty to discipline that both of them have which permeated to everyone on the team. It has made a good team great and it is a lesson we can all learn from (especially you Jets fans). It is also a metaphor for life.

Life, like football is complicated. Sometimes you need to be strong, other times you need to be smart but you always have to have discipline. You also have to stick to your game plan but be ready to make adjustments to it if things change. Most importantly, when your record indicates that you are at best mediocre but there is a small window open to take you to the next level, you never give up. The Giants are the first 9-7 team to win a Super Bowl. In the last two weeks of the season they were written off as dead and even after they managed to make the playoffs after two straight wins no one thought they would win three road games especially the one against Green Bay. What we learned from them was that setbacks are just a catalyst to try harder and boy did they ever.

Imagine if each of us carried that message with us in our every day life, especially our leaders. We could achieve anything and overcome any problem. And there is something else we can learn from the NFL that doesn’t exist in some other pro-

The house was well stocked with necessities and as the clock ticked down, I held my breath. Having 15 third grade boys over for the Super Bowl can send just about anyone running to battle stations – and that’s exactly where we were.

Allowing my son to host a bunch of boys for the big game was my husband’s idea.

My son eagerly jumped on the bandwagon, getting ahead of himself regarding the plan of action. He came by it honestly, as my husband’s planning took on a life of its own.

While I usually do not play the role of adult in this relationship, it became my job to step in and settle them both down. No additional televisions were going to be set up in various locations around our home for convenient viewing, I was not making commemorative t-shirts for the occasion and Dan Marino was not being invited. That’s where I drew the line.

The irony of our hosting a Super Bowl party is that we are not big football fans. If the subject does come up, we can be found wearing Miami Dolphins t-shirts and jerseys.

Although there is no chance of them making it to the Super Bowl anytime soon, my son and husband are hoping the rumors of Peyton Manning going to Miami are true.

(Personally, I am just waiting for pitchers and catchers to report for spring training.)

Regardless, our excitement about this year’s game was more about being New Yorkers than anything else and so planned a party.

We have made plenty of birthday parties and have had numerous people for holiday meals. However, there was something about the impending influx of these boys that made me anxious, as if the biggest game of the year was not enough to keep them occupied. Afraid that only I was excited to watch Madonna’s half-time show, I needed a plan to keep the boys entertained before play resumed.

If Martha Stewart had showed up to our home that evening, I wonder if she would have been proud or quietly disappointed. After making about a hundred cake pops, the idea was to dip them in melted chocolate and sprinkle them in various toppings. Martha would have been proud. When the pops activity was over, we had large white cookies for the boys to decorate in the spirit of the big game with different color icing and other toppings. Good idea? Yes, but Martha would have raised an eyebrow because the cookies were not homemade.

As the boys arrived, many in Giants gear, one of my daughters came downstairs

THE LEGENDARY DANNY O’DOUL

CAN YOU HEAR ME MAJOR TOM? IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE? S

I

t’s nice when I take the time to write about something important like the urgency for pedestrians to wear reflective gear while walking at night -- and then nobody pays any attention to my clarion call. Driving home Wednesday in the wet snow, I noticed several apparent Johnny Cash impersonators, as they were walking the line in dressed all in black. I think if Punxsutawney Phil, the meteorologist gopher, were to suddenly appear in The Five Towns, he would be confused seeing so many his “shadows.” But, why would old Phil ever bother coming to The Five Towns -- nobody here would listen to him anyway. This crowd is not a receptive bunch!

So, I know I’m not the only one who comes bearing good advice, only to be ignored.

Last night, my dear wife, The Lovely Sharon O’Doul was taking a break from the “Law and Order Network” (a cable channel which shows nothing but Law and Order, in every permutation, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and was watching an even more loathsome show called, Hoarders. This despicable program which exploits those with severe mental illness (manifesting in the need to “hoard” various objects in their homes) the way The Bachelor, makes fun over idiot young women vying to “win” a husband. The last time I checked, exploiting the ill is both bad taste and, possibly, illegal. Now, the only quasiattempt at having some socially

redeeming outcome is that the show brings in “experts” to motivate and advise the hoarders to finally throw all that junk out and clean up, already! Let me tell you, most of these hoarders do not want to hear this and they usually wind up killing the “expert” and stuffing his dead body among the flea infested, maggot encrusted crud that already surrounds the hoarder in his crowded dwelling.

Now, dear readers, it’s fine to ignore my important warnings -- but, even, I would not be brash enough to lecture a hoarder! Heck, they’re meaner than Gisele Bundchen after a tough Super Bowl loss. These Five Towns may have many shrewish Jewish Princesses of Frankenstein, but those dames got nothing on that ruthless supermodel!

And, talking about the Super Bowl, the Giant Parade in lower Manhattan this week, is nothing in comparison with the shindig that Mayor Parise has planned for Cedarhurst next week. Eli Manning will accompany a few teammates and the star quarterback is set to do donuts around Cedarhurst Park in his new Chevrolet Corvette! And, Eli even promised The Mayor that he would let him try out his new super car! The big day may even be capped off with fireworks and the burning of Tom Brady in effigy. I hear that The Great Magneto, himself, and his minions, may make a special appearance.

Now, that I am on the subject of The Great Magneto, I got a ro-

This is The Legendary Danny O’Doul signing off and reminding you that there are many people outside The Five Towns who believe that the world will end in 2012, if it does, than I guess the future of Nassau County is not really that important!

bo-call from him this week explaining that instead of getting rid of two precincts, he decided to just muck up even more, basically taking the efficacy and “teeth” out the police presence at precincts all around Nassau County, especially in places where “real crimes” happen, but will probably now be under-reported because the administrative facilities at these precincts have been eliminated.

Such crime fighting brilliance can only be achieved by a complete dummy, or perhaps, someone who just doesn’t give a crap.

Whatever the case, just as the Nassau Coliseum’s aborted projects have come to be known as “The Great Magneto’s Folly,” soon the decline of Nassau County will become known as “The Fall of The Great Magneto.”

And, I say good riddance to this bum. He should take some other of his Republican dimwit cronies with him when he leaves!

Perhaps, we should tap Newt Gingrich, whose political fortunes are approaching the stellar levels of John Huntsman and Herman Cain. I think if we could snag Newt for Nassau County Executive -the Republicans could really rise from the ashes and restore some semblance of class and glory!

Sarah Palin would be a good second choice should Newt not become available, although my perfect ticket for Nassau County Executive and Town of Hempstead Supervisor, respectively, would be Newt and Sarah. Oh, and Mitt Romney as the Collector of Taxes -- provided he learns what “taxes” are!

Well, I now there is really no one out there among my readers who are actually listening so, all I will say further is: “WAKE UP!”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Re: Yeshiva Parents Bearing-up Under Tuition Strain (Page one, Feb 3rd Issue) To the Editor, While I have utmost respect for Rabbi Wolowick, who welcomed my son to celebrate his bar mitzvah at the Chabad, I don’t necessarily agree that only attending yeshiva will ensure we have a Jewish tomorrow.

That may be true from the larger community point of view, but it may not be from an individual child’s point of view, who may not fit the yeshiva mold.

This child may have special needs or simply have interests that typical yeshiva does not provide. Now, I’m, sure that most people would say that a developmentally disabled child or a tremendously gifted artist who both attend public school can grow up to be Torah loving Jews. It does require extra commitment on the part of the parents and the students, but it is far from impossible. I have done it. My daughter went to yeshiva from kindergarten all the through high school. My son attends public high school.

Both of my children are Torah loving Jews, each with unique strengths to enrich the Jewish community. Each made their school a better place because of their devotion to Torah, not because the school made them into better Jews.

I also believe it is important

to be honest and realistic about a child’s education. Glorification of the yeshiva path, really does not, in the long run, do the community any good, and it certainly does not do our children any good. Those children who do not fit the mold will know and feel like outcasts. There is hidden classism at play here, which children pick up on from their parents who also want to fit into the community by placing their children into an expensive yeshiva even if they cannot afford it. From the yeshiva’s end, I wonder if there is are cognition that some parents may be induced, or even scared into believing that that their child may not grow up to be a Torah loving Jew if they choose to place their child in public school. For vulnerable families, a yeshiva placement may or may not be in the best interests of that family.

But if the community promotes only one avenue of education, and some families don’t take that path, seeds of resentment and discord within the larger Jewish community may and do result. Each family’s choices should be treated with respect not matter what their decision is, and no Jew should ever be ostracized from the community just because they did not choose to place their child in a yeshiva.

We are ALL Jews.

This brings me to my final point: the high cost of private school and the circumstances that may await an unsuspect-

ing parent who may fall behind in their payments (even when they are on scholarship).

Financial disclosure on the yeshiva’s part and the parent’s part is about operating in good faith, and should be expected from both sides. Before parents sign the contract to place their child into a yeshiva, and that is what it really is—a contract -- they should be informed of their rights and possible harsh collection efforts that the yeshiva may utilize if parents fall behind in tuition payments. These efforts may include withholding of high school transcripts or even so far as a court judgment. While it may be disingenuous for parents to be the recipient of a scholarship and go on a Florida vacation, that is nothing compared to what is perceived by parents as a betrayal of the school to seek court action.

There is such a large bargaining power differential between a financially troubled family and a yeshiva that may have attorneys on their board of directors who provide pro bono services to the school.

I know how hard it is be make the right choices as a parent, and I wish the best for my community. As I have taught my children, it is better to be kind and honest than be smart or rich. Abraham welcomed everyone into his tent, and he never forgot about Lot.

THE ZEITGEIST WITH HOWARD BARBANEL

Be My Valentine

ixth grade Valentine’s Day in Mrs. Raffel’s class at Long Beach’s Lindell School back in the Paleolithic ages of 1969 was quite a big deal. Valentine’s Day cards flew from desk to desk with a light speed that wasn’t to materialize until decades later with the advent of email. There was a card hierarchy with the mushiest of cards reserved for those girls you “really liked” and might have considered “going steady” with. If you didn’t receive at least five or six cards, then you were not considered a social success. You could call it “lowtech ‘friending.’” Early childhood brushes with Valentine’s are the kind of things that travel with you through life, even into adulthood – as the implications of the day are fraught with all kinds of ramifications many years on.

Teenagers, especially those who were in those awkward years or who were late bloomers, harbored no end of angst and anxiety as February 14th rolled around (I imagine that adolescence is still pretty similar even with today’s enhanced hand-held technology) because teenage Valentine’s was a Darwinian affair, clearly separating the popular from the not. As one progressed to college and one’s 20s, whether or not you got cards wasn’t nearly as significant as whether or not you had a date. Moving into relationships and marriage, Valentine’s started to mean less and less to men and more and more to women. Woe be unto the myopic dolt who forgot the occasion or, who, even worse, didn’t do the right thing or enough for their wife or girlfriend (or, if you are Tony Soprano, Newt Gingrich, JFK or Herman Cain, also for their mistress) or in a moment

of temporary insanity, ordered the wrong kind of roses from the wrong florist!

My numero uno Valentine’s Day was in 1983 when I got engaged to my first ex-wife. Once you’ve hit the apogee of Valentine’s by proposing marriage (and having it accepted), everything else pales in intensity. We were in our early 20s, a time when anything and everything seems possible and infinite. She looked like the late comedic actress Brittany Murphy in the film Just Married (with Ashton Kutcher) and the sparks were flying all over the place as only they can when you’re young.

Valentine’s Day, coming as it does towards the back end of winter serves as a literal bright spot in the otherwise blah gray monotony of the season. The holiday arrives when more daylight is making itself felt each day and with that, more Vitamin D, so folks start to come alive a bit more and it signals that spring will soon make an appearance. After Christmas, Chanukah and New Year’s, winter takes on a grim patina in most of the Northern Hemisphere and an injection of love, romance and joie de vivre is good for the soul (and the jewelry, greeting card, candy, flower and restaurant industries in what otherwise might be a very slow month). Valentine’s Day prompts many a married couple make an effort to break the routine, which is a good thing in and of itself. While the holiday got started as a Christian saints’ day, it was removed from the Roman Catholic calendar in 1969 and in America has essentially become a secular celebration of love and romance.

Romance is a big business because it addresses one of humanity’s highest aspirations – finding true love as a salve for its polar opposite – loneliness.

Regardless of Valentine’s Day, as-

suaging and vanquishing loneliness is something people spend big on. In the 20th and 21st Centuries whole industries took off because of the mitigating effects they had on being alone in the isolating modern urban industrial era. To wit: movies, radio, recorded music, television, the internet (including the huge industry of dating websites), email, cell phones (well, that’s also for business…), text-messaging, Facebook and Twitter. The need for connectedness is innate and pervasive. Before industrialization and urbanization, folks had their towns, villages, families and communities. Today, sadly, many mainly have their handheld multi-media devices where you can be “plugged in” and never be alone for as long as the batteries last.

You can have upwards of 800 Facebook “friends,” but have very few real ones on a corporeal level. You can work in a huge office building but spend your day mostly alone. You can live in a giant apartment building but not know your neighbors. You can go to big parties but only know a handful of people there and not meet more than another one or two. You can be in a marriage or a relationship yet feel lonely due to a lack of communication or affection.

Man’s yearning for love may even exceed his desire and passions for money, success and fame. Babies die without love.

Adults turn into Ebenezer Scrooge or Mr. Potter (from It’s a Wonderful Life) or “go postal” without it. Speaking of It’s a Wonderful Life, one reason this is one of America’s most popular and enduring films is because it is in essence a love story and the idealized wife of Jimmy Stewart (played sublimely by Donna Reed) is what every man wants when they don’t want the

Say You Saw It In The Standard Every Day Sale Price $279.99

Lawrence Lawyer Making a Big Name for Himself CONTINUED FROM P. A1 and see where that goes. It’s worth a shot to try and open up some other avenues. So far, so good. Everybody sees it. So far it’s all been positive. I have clients I haven’t heard from in years saying, “Hey, I saw your billboard, looks great. Keep up the good work.” So I think that’s great. It reminds people who were my clients years ago that I’m still out here, still here, and I think that alone is worth everything.”

Despite not advertising during his 22 years in practice, he decided to try the billboard with the hopes that it will take his practice to the next level.

“First of all, wherever I go, I usually have a client,” Mandel said. “If I go to Office Max, or Costco, or the post office, or the gas station, inevitably I’m going to hear, “Aren’t you Mr. Mandel?

You helped me with something, you always help me thank you so much.” I love that.”

Mandel says one of the best things about his job is his short commute.

“It’s the greatest gift my father ever gave me,” Mandel said in reference to his father opening the law practice in Far Rockaway. “It’s better than any kind of inheritance. My commute on a bad day is about five and a half minutes.

Asked what the funniest experience he’s had while working at his practice, Mandel recalled getting some money in a settlement for a client who had gotten into a car accident about 15 years ago.

“I got her two-year’s money retroactive,” Mandel said. “The

Gary Mandel client calls me up and she says “Mr. Mandel, I can’t thank you enough. Not only did you get my money, but you got it radioactive!” I said, “Do you mean retroactive?” She said “No, radioactive! I don’t know how you did it!” She got the words confused.

She was telling all her friends.”

Asked why Five Towners should come to him over another lawyer, Mandel pointed to the rest of his office.

“Like I said, I’ve got a great staff,” Mandel said. “Also, I’m blessed. I’ve got a secretary, Jeanine, who came with me from high school. She’s been with me about 20 years. We get along very well. The office staff is terrific. We all work very, very hard for our clients. And that’s the goal. We put our heart and soul in it and we want to be here for the long run and we try to keep clients again.

Far Rockaway, the Five Towns is a small town. If you do a bad job word will get around in no time. I know that, and that’s why I try to work hard to keep most people as happy as I can.”

Mangano Announces Movie Discount for Family-Fun Week at Museum Row

N

assau County Executive Edward P. Mangano today announced the County and the Cradle of Aviation Museum will host “$5 February Fest” from Monday, February 20th through Friday, February 24th. During “$5 February Fest,” movie tickets for any film and any showing at the Cradle of Aviation’s IMAX Giant Screen Dome Theater will only be $5 for children ages 2-12.

The movies showing that week will be: Tornado Alley, Sharks, and Lewis and Clark.

“At a time when children are off from school for the week, this $5 February Fest opportunity provides families a wonderful opportunity to enjoy educational films at an affordable price,” said County Executive Mangano. “This Cradle of Aviation movie discount provides residents with five affordable family-fun days at Museum Row.”

Tornado Alley: Traversing the “severe weather capital of the world,” Tornado Alley documents two unprecedented missions seeking to encounter one of Earth’s most awe-inspiring events – the birth of a tornado. Filmmaker Sean Casey’s personal quest to capture the birth of a tornado with a 70mm camera takes viewers on a breathtaking

journey into the heart of the storm.

A team of equally driven scientists, the VORTEX2 researchers, experience the relentless strength of nature’s elemental forces as they literally surround tornadoes and the super cell storms that form them, gathering the most comprehensive severe weather data ever collected. This science adventure reveals the beauty and the power of some of our planet’s most extreme -- and least understood -weather phenomena.

Sharks: Presented by Jean-Michel Cousteau, Sharks is a breathtaking new IMAX theatre film experience that offers audiences an astonishing upclose encounter with the Lions and Tigers of the Ocean. Come face-toface with a multitude of shark species, including the Great White, Hammerhead, and Whale Shark. Witness them as they really are: not wicked man-eating creatures, but wild, fascinating and endangered animals that have been in existence since a million years before dinosaurs roamed the earth. Join the expert team of ocean explorers that brought you Ocean Wonderland and Dolphins & Whales on this unique round-theglobe expedition documenting the life of the ultimate predator.

and we just rode her to the end.”

The fourth quarter not only belonged to Hewlett, it might as well have belonged to DiSalvo. Led by a relentless offensive attack off her hands, the Bulldogs began mounting a huge comeback starting with a 9-0 run to start the quarter. With only two points separating the teams, Lawrence was able to pull off back-to-back three pointers. Hewlett, though, kept the pace and pulled back to within 52-53. The teams traded blows back and forth before Hewlett pushed ahead for good 56-55 off of DiSalvo’s 24 points in the fourth quarter alone. The teams traded more points, but Hewlett held on for a 64-58 win.

“In the beginning, we were definitely a lot flatter than the

last time we played them and it was really hard to get momentum,” said DiSalvo. “But at half time, our coach gave us a very good speech and he knew that we had the ability to win.”

“I’m proud of the girls,” said Johnson. “I felt like a lot of the games this year where we should have won and lost and we finally got one to go our way after a game where we probably should have lost but won. We’ll definitely take it.

Lawrence Head Coach George Klein declined to comment following the game.

Hewlett improves to 2-5 in conference play with the win while Lawrence drops to 1-7 with the loss. Hewlett plays its next game at home on February 7th against Plainedge at 7:00 p.m. Lawrence will play its next home game against Division on February 7th at 7:00 p.m.

Hottest Looks for Your Walls: Paint And Wallpaper Trends

BY SUSAN VARGHESE

Standard Associate Editor

D

eep colors, accented wallpaper and unique textures are some of the biggest trends in paint and wallpaper this season, according to local retailers and designers.

“The colors are deeper and richer in paint [this season],” Paige Hindman, an Aboff’s representative said and noted dark purples to be one of the hottest colors. “People are interested in an overall transitional style…

We have seen that people are purchasing more wallpaper recently. Whereas it used to be more paint.”

Hindman noted that wallpaper adds glamour to a home, which is why it’s coming back in popularity. Metallics, pewters, shimmers and glass bead accents on wallpaper allow for a fresh look, instead of dated patterns or basic colors. For paint, Hindman noted a product called “Aura,” which is a primer and paint in one. The formula makes for a deeper and richer color, because it has a base.

For those that are unsure of what colors or patterns to choose, or if wallpaper or paint is the right choice, Aboff’s has personal consultants that can come directly to the home to help homeowners make the right decision.

Cedarhurst’s JGL Interiors owner, Judith Goldsmith Lazaros is seeing shades of grey and dark blues, but she noted that she hasn’t seen just one partic-

ular reign supreme. “[Generally] In paint, it’s deeper colors with crisp white trims.” But, specific paint techniques, like Venetian plaster have become dominant. “It’s a whole plaster,” Lazaros explained. “It makes the walls look polished. It’s a very interesting technique. It’s a little bit expensive, but nice.”

For wallpaper, wide classic stripes are always a safe bet, but having a little glitz on the walls is in. “ They’re actually introducing a lot of the silver back paper in dining room wallpaper for a little glitz and a soft sheen. So many of the wallpapers are vinyl and they don’t look like vinyl; they’re excellent. They give the look of upholstered walls. “ A common mistake is the type of wallpaper people purchase. The old-fashioned wallpaper was paper that was essentially just coated. “It’s never going to hold up and can’t be cleaned properly. With vinyl wallpaper, you can really scrub and wash it…[with regular paper] you can sometimes rub off the design.”

Lazaros added, “Grass cloth and textures are really popular.

Some wallpapers have acrylic beads on it. I think there’s more pattern on the floor and less on the wall.” Lazaros also offers personal consultations and has wallpaper samples in the store.

Aboff’s is located at 1045 Broadway in Woodmere. (516) 374-0717. Aboffs.com JGL Interiors is located at 125 Cedarhurst Avenue in Cedarhurst. (516) 3742898. Jgldesigns.com

–Jay Leno “I like Mitt Romney. He looks like the guy on a package of underwear.”

–David Letterman “Mitt Romney said he doesn’t really care about poor people. Now he’s backtracking, and he’s saying he connects with poor people. Yeah, the same way Tom Brady connects with Wes Welke.”

–David Letterman “Newt Gingrich says that people who ride on subways here in New York are the elite. I was on the subway today and one of the elites sitting next to me was smoking crack.”

–David Letterman “Newt Gingrich didn’t bother to campaign in Colorado, Missouri, and Minnesota. But he’s vowed to stay in the race until the Republican convention. However, Newt doesn’t have a great track record as far as sticking to his vows go.”

–Jimmy Kimmel “Because of large crowds at his campaign events, Mitt Romney will now receive protection from the Secret Service. Not to be outdone, Ron Paul will now receive protection from a mall cop on a Segway.”

–Jay Leno “After winning the Super Bowl, the Giants will get to meet President Obama at the White House. Meanwhile, the Patriots will get to meet Newt Gingrich at the Waffle House.”

–Jimmy Fallon “Newt Gingrich has criticized ‘New York elites’ who ride the subway. One of those subway elites threw up on my pants this morning.”

–David Letterman “President Obama spoke at the national prayer breakfast. The president said that his Christian faith is the driving force behind his economic policies. So I guess instead of blaming Bush, it’s now all Jesus’ fault.”

Say You Saw It In The Standard

Flare legged slacks by BB Dakota at Mixology

Chris Pine, Reese Witherspoon and Tom Hardy in This Means War

This Means War: Rated R. Chris Pine and Tom Hardy are the world’s deadliest CIA operatives, inseparable partners and best friends, until they fall for the same woman (Reese Witherspoon). At one time, they were bringing down entire enemy nations together, but now they are employing their incomparable skills and an endless array of high-tech gadgets against each other. This action-adventure comedy sees twists and turns as the two best friends realize they

are in a love triangle, which ultimately affects both their professional and personal lives. The film also stars Chelsea Handler and Til Schweiger.

Friday, February 17 Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance: Rated PG-13. Nicholas Cage returns as Johnny Blaze, the spirit of vengeance, with this sequel to 2007’s Ghost Rider from the Crank team of Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor.

Johnny is still struggling with his curse as the devil’s bounty hunter and is hiding out in a remote part of Eastern Europe when he is recruited by a secret sect of a church to save a young boy (Fergus Riordan) from the devil (Ciarn Hinds). Johnny is reluctant to embrace the powers of the Ghost Rider at first, but realizes he must do it because it is the only way to save the boy and possibly rid himself of his curse forever.

If New York City can do it with five counties, why can’t Nassau County as a single county do it?

But instead our County Executive and Legislature talks about making cuts exactly where it will hurt us the most – Police Services. There was plenty of money last summer for a special election to decide on plans for the Coliseum. Again do the balancing act with your hands.

very soon to the reality that we in Nassau County are very angry.

Police precincts and police presence is non-negotiable. We need more, not less!

All over the county over the next few weeks, there will be meetings and discussions about this situation. If you live in The Five Towns, your legislator is Howard Kopel. Bury him in emails and phone calls, so that he knows you are serious about keeping police presence in our community a major priority.

SOAPBOX

What we Can Learn from the NFL and the Giants CONTINUED FROM P. A8 fessional sports: revenue sharing. The NFL might be a business, actually a multi billion dollar business but it’s run like a socialist one. It doesn’t make a difference if your team is in New York or Jacksonville you all make money and can only

pay players under the same salary cap restrictions. Yet somehow despite this seemingly unAmerican business system, it works. Somehow too, we fans don’t begrudge football players the big contracts that we often lament in baseball or basketball.

Because it works and because these guys for the most part are

disciplined and intelligent.

This was a great moment for New York and a fun if nervewracking season for Giants fans.

Most importantly the NFL, the New York Giants and the game of football showed the Americans and the rest of the world that we can do great things, even when the odds are against us.

DEAR THAT'S LIFE

“Time to impact: five…four…”

CONTINUED FROM P. A8 – in a dress. I asked her about her wardrobe choice and she said, in all seriousness, that she was ready for the “Super BALL.” She thought she was Cinderella.

Clearly, there was a misunderstanding.

By the time Madonna and her Egyptian minions took the field, the game was exciting and the activities were going well, though I was still waiting for the asteroid’s arrival. I was not inviting trouble, but was surprised that nothing had yet gone. My lamps were in one piece, the game was not a blow-out and the boys were all smiling. They even posed for pictures, despite having three Patriot fans in the pack, and began a football game of their own in my basement.

The night was going perfectly and I was becoming convinced that we might avert all disasters. Everything was fine – un-

til the Giants won. Who could have predicted THAT would have been the problem? Enter asteroid.

My first year in sleep away camp, I was really excited about the camp-wide singing competition where boys campus and girls campus competed against each other. We practiced for days, dressed up and even wore make-up. The same age as my son who was currently hosting friends, I remember how devastated I was when girls campus lost the sing-off that year.

I cried and cried. Not only was I extremely disappointed, but I was also terrified that my older brother who was a member of boys’ campus was going to rub it in my face. It was an awful night. I remember it like it was yesterday.

Therefore, I knew exactly how one of the boys felt when the Giants won. A diehard Pats fan, he was crushed

when Brady’s hail-Mary was incomplete, when his beloved Patriots imploded during the last minute of the game and when his team – the one favored to win it all – walked off the field stunned. Crying and wailing, he was almost inconsolable. His mother had luckily joined us for the last quarter and served as a source comfort. “I don’t like football anymore!” he said, crying into his mother’s shoulder.

His pain and disappointment were real and I knew exactly where he was coming from.

And with all of my planning, this was one scenario I did not see coming.

When you’re eight years old, it is not just a game. Luckily for this boy, he is a Patriots fan.

Chances are good they will be back in the Super Bowl before he knows it. I did not ask him, however, if he was a Mets fan.

There was no need to rub salt in the wound.

Be My Valentine CONTINUED FROM P. A9 blonde floozy Violet Bick.

In 1966 the late, great Percy Sledge hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with his When a Man Loves a Woman.

It’s number 54 in Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Songs of All Time.”

Michael Bolton also hit number

one with it in 1991. The song’s lyrics are completely appropriate for Valentine’s Day and it sums up the value men place on love:

“When a man loves a woman Can’t keep his mind on nothing else He’ll trade the world For the good thing he’s found If she’s bad he can’t see it

FIRST PERSON

Hewlett World War II Vet Receives Medals, Recalls Battles

By Scott P. Moore

he thought of enemy aircraft swooping over your warship with only feet to spare in the midst of an epic World War II battle could be considered a terrifying nightmare for some. But for Hewlett resident Sergeant Stanley Rosenfeld, the thought was a reality as he and thousands of other Americans fought the Japanese Army in the Pacific Theatre.

Now nearly 70 years after two atomic explosions over Japan finally brought the world’s deadliest conflict to an end, Sgt. Rosenfeld was finally able to receive five medals he earned while serving in the U.S. Army during the war. Representative Carolyn McCarthy awarded Rosenfeld his medals during a presentation on Monday morning at her office in Garden City with his partner and his daughter in attendance.

“It’s a very nice thing,” said Rosenfeld, a Far Rockaway native. “I didn’t even know I had them. It shows how much they appreciate the men who served.”

McCarthy called him a part of “the greatest generation” of Americans, especially since they sacrificed greatly for the well-being of the country during World War II. McCarthy was able to obtain the medals for Rosenfeld after he neglected to apply for them in 1945 because he simply

Rosenfeld was awarded seven medals for his service in the U.S. Army from 1942 to 1945, including the Good Conduct Medal, American Campaign Medal, AsiaticPacific Campaign Medal with 3 Bronze Stars, World War II Victory Medal, Philippine Liberation Ribbon with 1 Bronze Star, World War II Honorable Service Lapel Button and the Marksman Badge with Rifle Bar. Sgt. Rosenfeld celebrated his 18th birthday on December 7th, 1940 by registering for the draft.

The Battle of Leyte Gulf was one of the largest naval conflicts in World War II and might have been the largest of all-time.

While attending Far Rockaway High School, he majored in math and was a part of a winning math team before graduating and moving on to Brooklyn College the next fall. On his 19th birthday, the Japanese executed their surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and launched the United States into World War II. “The country was shocked, but it shouldn’t have been,” wrote Rosenfeld in a collection of his war stories. “Most people did not even know where Pearl Harbor was or what the attack really meant, but when the boys started getting called to their draft boards, we all began to understand.” Less than a year later, Rosenfeld was drafted into the U.S. Army during the summer.

Rosenfeld recalled in his war stories that on his second day at the Induction Center at Camp Upton on Long Island, he was called into the commander’s office by his first sergeant, prompting him to wonder what he did wrong. Appearing nervous, his sergant asked him if he was Jewish. After answering that he was, the officer told him to relax.

“So am I,” he said to Rosenfeld. “And if anyone gives you any trouble about that, come see me.” Rosenfeld said he was stunned, but managed a “thank you” before leaving. After surviving the tough rigours of basic training, Rosenfeld was assigned to the Army Specialized Training Program (ASTP), which was a predecessor to the Officer Candidate School (OCS), and sent to train at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

After spending nearly two years at MIT, Rosenfeld was brought back to basic training to prepare for his eventual deploy-

ment. The troops then were not told while training where they would be assigned, whether it be the European battlefields or the Pacific Island campaigns because, as Rosenfeld put it, “loose lips could sink ships.” Eventually he was told on the day of departure that he and his fellow troops were headed to the Pacific theatre for battle. Rosenfeld said he was on a troop ship for some time in the Pacific Ocean when the ship was attacked on October 25, 1944 at Leyte Gulf.

Rosenfeld said he learned sometime later that the attack was the first instance of the Japanese using the Kamakaze attacks on American warships.

“It was brutal,” he wrote. “The Japanese were zooming down on us and above them American bombers were attacking.”

Before he knew it, an officer yelled at him to man a two-man gun by himself to try and take out the attacking aircraft. “‘You’re the best shot, get over there,’” Rosenfeld recalled the officer yelling. “It was huge and had two seats, like bicycle seats...

I did not really know how to handle it, [but] I quickly learned that what I had to do was turn the wheels which made the gun turn in the proper direction. Once properly aimed, I had to fire.”

Rosenfeld said that he hit a few of the diving aircraft and thinks he might have saved a few lives that day. The gun’s volume eventually led to Rosenfeld losing his hearing. The Battle of Leyte Gulf, as it became known, was one of the largest naval battles during the entire war and was a key American victory, but came at a great cost to both sides – Allied forces lost over 3,000 men while the Japanese total losses exceed 10,000 men.

“The battle was short lived,” he wrote. “We landed [in the Philippines] and were confronted

man,” Rosenfeld wrote. During the show, Rosenfeld noticed the drummer for the USO band was his cousin Mel. He rushed on the stage as the band assembled and hugged, possibly shedding some tears he recalled. “He was really good and showed off beautifully.”

Rosenfeld and the rest of the army cleared out the remaining forces on the island for the rest of 1944 and the beginning of 1945 before declaring the island free of Japanese troops. Many of the troops began to relax around the Philippines as the war’s attention turned on the Japanese home island. After the Japanese surrendered in August 1945, many of the troops eagerly awaited orders to return home. As a single man with no children or wife, he was one of the last troops to leave.

Rosenfeld was finally returned home to Fort Dix, New Jersey.

Rosenfeld was put on a two-man gun like these shown by himself during the Battle of Leyte Gulf and helped protect his warship from the Japanese.

Rosenfeld also recalled that every tree or building was a possible death trap, leading to him note that “sleep was a luxury.” As American forces dug in, Rosenfeld remembered how many of the local Filipino children were eager to help him and other U.S. forces to rid the island nation of their common enemy.

“To this day, I have a very soft spot in my heart for the [Filipino] people,” he wrote. “Every now and then through the years I have had contact with one and I always relate my gratitude for the help and kindness that was extended to me during my experience in his or her country.

Sometimes when talking about it, I have been moved to tears.”

He added: “It is bittersweet to talk about it.”

The war for Rosenfeld ended in October 1944 when the United Services Organization (USO) showed up to provide the troops with entertainment.

“What a relief it was to feel hu-

“We were given our discharge papers, whatever pay was due us, a handshake and a wish for good luck,” he wrote. “We were then loaded onto troop trains which brought us to Grand Central Station.”

After finally returning home, Rosenfeld would marry his sweetheart Regina, who had “faithfully written to [him] and waited for [him] through those awful years.” He also graduated from Brooklyn College, settled down and raised a family, including his daughter Lynda who was in attendance on Monday morning. Rosenfeld would go onto become mayor of the Village of North Hills for sometime and recently moved into Hewlett last year with his partner, Esther Bogen.

“It’s kind of neat to see him receive these medals,” said Lynda, who said her father did not speak about the war much when she was growing up. “It’s became increasingly more important over the years.”

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 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 thereto-

fore 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.
