Celebrating a year of renewal with the Freeport PAL Gym By MoHAMED FARGHAlY mfarghaly@liherald.com

The heart of Freeport, resonated with joy and celebration on Oct 13 as the Freeport Police Activity League (PAL) Boxing Gym commemorated its oneyear renovation anniversary. This event was more than just a gathering; it was a testament to the unwavering commitment of the gym to empower youth and strengthen the community. The Freeport PAL Boxing Gym has deep roots within the community, emerging as a beacon of hope and a harbor of positive change since its incep-

tion in 1992. Founded by the late police officer and original Freeport PAL Executive Director, Jack Lundergan, the gym has fostered champions and instilled discipline and values i n i t s m e m b e r s for three decades. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of sports in shaping young lives and building stronger communities. A pivotal figure in this remarkable jour ney, Keisha Sanders, the owner of KeepFit Boxing, has a profound connection to the PAL Gym. An alum and former amateur boxer who began training at the gym in 2013, Sander’s journey reflects

the transformative impact the PAL Gym has. Today, she not only reminisces about her boxing days, but also conducts empowering boxing classes for women at her establishment, KeepFit Boxing. “I think something like this is great for the community, it’s very important because it’s for the youth,” Sanders said. “It’s something for the kids to do something positive, something that they can commit to something to keep them motivated outside of school.” To celebrate the PAL Gym’s one-year renovation anniversary, Sanders joined hands with the gym, bringing together

members from Keisha’s boxing classes, along with enthusiastic youth and dedicated fighters who call the PAL Gym their training ground. “We have a lot of g reat coaches that really helped these kids with not just learning the fundamentals of boxing, but it also helps them with commitment and dedication that can

help them in every area of their life,” Sanders said. “And the fact that we take on the youth, they can start young for and as they get older they really go to have discipline in their everyday life, and they actually get to enjoy the sport of boxing.” The day was filled with nostalgia as they shared stories of CoNTiNueD oN PAGe 2

the past, reflected on the present, and looked forward to an even brighter future. As Keisha expressed her excitement about the event, she highlighted the importance of preserving the spirit of the gym and continuing its mission of empowering youth. The Freeport PAL Boxing Gym isn’t merely a place for punching bags and sparring; it stands as a powerful institution that transcends the boundaries of sport. It serves as an after-school and after-work program that aids young people in becoming productive and responsible members of society. Coach Joe Higgins, a cornerstone of the PAL Boxing Gym in Freeport, played a pivotal role in the gym’s evolution over its 30-year journey. With a lifelong passion for boxing that began in Brooklyn in 1961 and persisted through his amateur fighting days and time as a New York City firefighter, Higgins discovered his true calling when he joined the Freeport gym. Under his leadership, the gym has produced over 100 amateur champions, including five national champions. Beyond honing boxing skills, Higgins and his team of coaches focused on molding responsible, disciplined, and respectful individuals who thrive in life, not just in the ring. The gym also instills crucial life skills in its participants, such as com-

This holistic approach is why the g ym remains a vital resource for the Freeport community. The celebration was also a reflection of the gym’s unwavering commitment to community support. Over the years, the

gym received immense backing from local community members, compassionate business owners, and dedicated volunteers, including those from “George to the Rescue.” This support has been instrumental in revitalizing the facility, ensuring that it remains a cutting-edge space for the next generation of boxers.

George Oliphant, a Marine veteran and the star of the NBC show “George to the Rescue,” spearheaded the renovation efforts. Thanks to his team’s dedication, the gym now boasts state-of-the-art facilities, providing young athletes with the tools and resources they need to excel in the sport while fostering a safe and clean environment for all participants. As the Freeport PAL Boxing Gym stands on the precipice of its future, it maintains an unwavering commitment to its mission. Its impact extends far beyond the gym’s four walls, making it a symbol of hope and opportunity for the youth of Freeport. The gym’s dedication to shaping young lives and building a better future for the community remains resolute. The one-year renovation anniversary celebration exemplifies the profound influence of sports in nurturing young talent and building more robust communities. The event was not just a celebration of the past year; it was a promise of more remarkable years to come, filled with empowerment, growth, and positive transformation. To lend a helping hand, individuals or organizations interested in sponsoring the gym or donating essential items are encouraged to visit the facility at 100 Parsons Ave. at Bishop Frank O. White Park. The gym’s operating hours are Monday through Thursday from 4 to 7 p.m. and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Their eloquent commentary guided the audience through a mesmerizing journey of music, dance, and tradition. “It was a wonderful experience seeing our students using their musical and performance talents to share their pride in their heritage and musical traditions,” Superintendent of Schools, Kishore Kuncham said. Students from various grade levels enthralled the spectators with their exquisite renditions of age-old songs, traditional dances, and games hailing from diverse Hispanic regions, including Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and more. Among the highlights of the evening were performances of “Rompas Mi Corazon,” a lively Mexican line dance, “Los Pollitos,” a soulful Chilean song, “A La Lata,” a spirited Colombian chant and game, and “Dia De Los Muertos,” a captivating Mexican folk song and dance. The event served as a poignant reminder of the importance of embracing and celebrating the rich cultural heritage that Hispanic students and their families bring to the Freeport School District. –Mohamed Farghaly

Protecting Your Future with Michael and Suzanne Ettinger Attorneys-at-Law

Book Review: “Outlive” by Peter Attia, MD (Part Two)

In his book, Dr. Attia describes the tactics necessary for the “compression of morbidity” – meaning shrinking the period of decline at the end of life and increasing the length of healthy life. To live longer without disease rather than simply extending the duration of disease. Centuries of observations have shown that simply eating less extends life and prevents the onset of disease. As the old saying goes, “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and supper like a pauper.” Similarly, the powerful adverse effects of poor sleep on metabolism and cognitive ability are fleshed out, including tips on sleeping better. Tips for avoiding cardiovascular disease, including a review of the current cholesterol lowering medications, is provided. Cancer is analyzed for how it works in the body and the current as well as promising future therapies, while advocating for the best cancer treatment of all – “early detection.”

Courtesy Town of Hempstead

Whereas Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases were, until recently, thought to be unpreventable, that is no longer true. While quality of sleep and nutrition play a role in preventing cognitive decline, nothing compares to exercise – both strength training and aerobic exercise – which reduce inflammation and oxidative stress and increase vascular function. Regular exercisers also live as much as a decade longer than sedentary people. As the author states, “This is our objective: to delay death, and to get the most out of our extra years. The rest of our lives becomes a time to relish rather than to dread.” It is not an easy read but with the healthy prescriptions provided in a range of areas, it is a worthwhile addition to the ever burgeoning literature on life extension. As Muhammad Ali said “I never won a fight in the ring; I always won in preparation.”

NICE Bus adds Saturday service A new Saturday NICE Bus service is now available as part of its on-demand rideshare program which runs along the South Shore corridor between Merrick and Lynbrook. Known as NICE-Mini and first introduced in the summer of 2022 during weekdays, the service allows riders to reserve rides to and from any desired location along a corridor from Merrick to Lynbrook which extends approximately half a mile to the north of and to the south of Merrick Road and Atlantic Avenue. The added servicer started Oct. 21. NICE-Mini Saturday service will be available between 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. Weekday service is offered between 8

a.m. and 8 p.m. The one-way fare for a NICE-Mini ride is the same as any ride on a fixed NICE route — $2.90 — and can be paid by coin, MetroCard or NICE transfer on board, or via credit card in advance on the app. Smaller buses are used for this service and the system is a ‘ride share model’ so there may be additional pickups and drop-offs along the way. NICEMini does not implement surcharges or increased fees during peak travel times. To reserve a ride via a reservation system, call (516) 228-4173 or download the NICE-Mini app from the App Store or Google Play.

MSSN unveils employee recharge area Hospital break area funded by $100,000 gift from Flagstar Bank By KEPHERD DANIEL kdaniel@liherald.com

Employees at Mount Sinai South Nassau have a new spot to take a moment and unwind from their busy jobs. Designed as a place for staff of Mount Sinai South to refresh and rejuvenate while on their breaks, a ribbon cutting was held to welcome the hospital’s new outdoor employee recharge area. The recharge area has been funded by a $100,000 gift from Flagstar Bank (formerly Signature Bank). “It’s nice for them to have an option to get out of the buildings, but at the same time, they’re close enough that if they need to respond to a phone call or a page or anything they’re just steps away from the door,” Dr. Adhi Sharma, President, Mount Sinai South Nassau said. “You want them to just have a lunch break, just recharge because what they see on the floors day to day is challenging.” In 2021, the bank announced a $100,000 commitment to the hospital workforce’s well-being by creating and supporting an outdoor recharge space, designed to help promote the importance of the physical, spiritual, and mental well-being of the staff. “We are a really strong community supporter of the organization and certainly, they focus on wellness and health care,” said Sharma. “We continue to focus on wellness because if we don’t take care of ourselves, we can’t take care of others. It’s great to have a partner that supports those efforts.” Eileen Hinrichs is the chairperson of the Holistic Council and coordinates holistic medicine, mental behavior, mental health, and stress management, for nurses and doctors at the hospital. Hinrichs has gotten employees to transition from the indoor recharge room to the brand-new outdoor recharge area by promoting the benefits of getting out-

Cold-cap therapy has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to reduce hair loss from some chemotherapy drugs. Minimizing hair loss helps patients improve their quality of life and self-esteem while undergoing treatment. Studies have shown that cold-cap therapy can prevent hair loss in 66 percent of patients with breast cancer receiving chemotherapy and is well tolerated by most patients. Cold-cap therapy is initiated prior to the start of each chemotherapy session.

Students learn lessons on bus safety Student safety is the highest priority for the Freeport School District. Students can never be reminded often enough about the important lessons regarding the safety protocols for crossing the street and riding on school buses. Students at New Visions Elementary School participated in a special safety presentation by BusPatrol designed to emphasize the proper ways to cross the street, enter and exit a school bus and the appropriate behavior when riding to and from school. After listening to the presentation and watching a video, the students were given safety workbooks to share at home and they also received certificates recognizing they had successfully completed the safety program workshop.

It didn’t come easy, but the Freeport girls’ soccer team did just enough to secure that desired winning season. Despite scoring twice in their final five games, the Red Devils finished the season 7-6-1 after a 1-0 victory over Uniondale on Oct. 17 that guaranteed a mark above .500. Maria Portela scored the game’s only goal in the first half and fellow sophomore Sonia Chavez blocked all six Knight shots for her sixth shutout. Unfortunately, that record wasn’t good enough to clinch a playoff spot, but first-year coach Mark Andrejack will easily take it after the team finished 4-10-1 last fall. “The winning record is definitely great,” he said. “It’s something that’s an improvement and a step in the right direction. I know some of the girls definitely wanted to get a couple of more wins on there, which truly is a testament to their competitiveness and how hard they work.” The Red Devils also enjoyed their success despite having just six players with points this season. Seniors Brianne Belizaire and Alisson Caceres and freshman Sabrina Ligonde tri-lead the team with seven points, with the latter pacing the club with six goals. Ligonde had five goals in a five-game span from Sept. 27-Oct. 11, including a pair in a 3-0 win at Hempstead on Oct. 7. “I think the stat sheet isn’t as reflective of how those goals would come about,” Andrejack said. “It might be that name you see on the scoresheet, but that scoring play was really started in the defensive end or with a big save. It’s really a team goal instead of individuals playing out there. They really play together and whoever ends up scoring, that’s great, but we’re happy that the team scored.” Belizaire helped carry the offense at the start of the season with two goals and an assist in a 5-1 season-opening win at Malverne/East Rockaway before collecting the lone tally in a 1-0 win over Hempstead on Sept. 14. Caceres contributed four goals in three contests at the end of September,

Senior Alisson Caceres was one of the leading scorers for the Red Devils, who finished above .500 under first-year coach Mark Andrejack. including two in a 3-0 triumph at Uniondale on Sept. 27. The team’s biggest win of the season, Andrejack believed, was a 1-0 win at Sewanhaka on Oct. 11. The Red Devils lost a tough 1-0 contest in the first meeting on Sept. 19 after allowing a goal with 21 seconds left, but Ligonde had the game’s only tally in the first half and Chavez had 12 saves for the revenge win. “Sewanhaka’s a very talented team,” Andrejack said. “That was a good one to get back.” Portela added three goals on the season

– including markers in back-to-back games in early October – and junior Ashley Zavala netted a pair with an assist. The defense was led by Ava and Cassie Smith, and the latter also contributed offensively with a goal at Hempstead. Juniors Dorla Miguel and Elsy Soriano were also strong contributors for a defensive corps that surrendered just under two scores a game. Andrejack lauded junior Allison Lazo for her growth at midfield during her maiden season on varsity and expects her to be one of his leaders in 2024.

STEPPING OUT

Let a mad scientist’s lair take over your home By Karen Bloom

he countdown is on to spooking and assorted revelry. The signs of that festive day are all around us as those ghouls, witches and wizards — along with princesses, pirates, etc. — look forward to Oct. 31.

Prepare a disposable decorating bag with more green icing; cut a hole in point of bag (the size of tip 3)SO. Attach candy eyeballs with dots of green icing. Pipe green eyelids. Use black pouch icing with round tip to pipe dot nose and neck bolts, outline mouth and stitches.

So, throw on a costume and act like a kid — with or without the kids. Transform your house into Frankenstein’s lab with a few party tricks and Halloween goodies. Set the scene with a mad scientist-themed sweets table, and carry it home with a crazy good menu featuring frightfully yummy appetizers, some mocktails for the kids (and non-drinkers in your crowd) and, of course, treats.

Melted Witch Punch

Play mixologist with a perfect potion recipe featuring a few easy ingredients.

• 6 cups water • 1 cup white sugar • 1 (6 ounce) package lime-ﬂavored gelatin mix • 1 (46 ﬂuid ounce) can pineapple juice • 2 quarts orange juice • 1/2 cup lemon juice • 2 (2 liter) bottles chilled lemon-lime soda Mix water, sugar, and gelatin mix in a large saucepan and bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium and cook at a boil, whisking frequently, until gelatin and sugar have dissolved, about 3 minutes. Stir pineapple juice, orange juice, and lemon juice into gelatin mixture and transfer into resealable plastic bags. Place in freezer until slushy, about 4 hours.

Bring Frankenstein to life

It’s not a mad scientist Halloween party without Frankenstein. This easy Frankenstein cake makes a big statement, a fantastic centerpiece for your sweets table and will make others green with envy over your decorating skills. • 6 cups favorite cake recipe or mix • 4 cups white ready-to-use decorator icing • Green food coloring • Black icing (in pouch with tips) • Large candy eyeballs Tools needed: • 6-by-3-inch round pan • 10-by-16-inch cooling grid • Cake plate • Cake leveler • 13-inch angled spatula • 12-inch disposable decorating bags Prepare cake according to instructions and make two layers using 6-inch round pans. Bake and cool on cooling grid. Prepare green icing. Stack layers on cake plate for a two-layer cake, using leveler as needed. Ice cake sides smooth. Use black pouch icing without tip to cover top of cake. Use tip of spatula to create spiral effect. Use black pouch icing with star tip to pipe pull-out bangs around top edge and two hair strands on cake top.

The Brooklyn-based comedian is back with his latest off-Broadway comedy special, ‘Colin Quinn: Small Talk.’ Quinn is most widely known for political humor, but his ‘Small Talk’ comedy show has a different focus: the art of charisma. In his latest attempt at humor, Colin breaks down the one area he’s actually gifted in: personality. He has been chatting it up with friends, family, municipal employees and counter people his whole life, and now he can wants to teach everyone how to stop sucking the energy out of the room. Quinn’s most recent stage show, 2021’s ‘The Last Best Hope,’ combined a similar premise (Quinn’s charisma) with his trademark political comedy, focusing on why his is a voice worth listening to in today’s social-media saturated age where everyone has a platform. Quinn has indeed built a sizable social media platform, with more than 500,000 followers on X — formerly known as Twitter — alone, but he’s a stalwart of the in-person New York City comedy scene, too. Friday, Oct. 27, 8 p.m. Tickets start at $45. Tilles Center for the Performing Arts, LIU Post campus, 720 Northern Blvd., Brookville. (516) 299-3100, or TillesCenter.org.

Spooky Graveyard Pie

Eventually the monster’s lair will lead out to the “graveyard.” Set the mood with this treat. • 3 cups (about 32) finely ground chocolate sandwich cookies, divided • 3 tablespoons melted butter • 1 can (12 fluid ounces) evaporated milk • 1 3/4 cups (11.5-ounce package) milk chocolate morsels • 2 large egg yolks • 2 tablespoons cornstarch • 8 chocolate filled vanilla wafer cookies • Black and purple decorator writing gels • Assorted Halloween candies Combine 1-1/2 cups cookie crumbs and butter in 9-inch pie plate. Press crumb mixture onto bottom and upsides of pie plate. Set aside remaining 1 1/2 cups crumbs for dirt topping. Whisk together evaporated milk, egg yolks and cornstarch in medium saucepan. Heat over mediumlow heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is very hot and thickens slightly; do not boil. Remove from heat; stir in morsels until completely melted and mixture is smooth. Pour into crust. Sprinkle with remaining 1-1/2 cups cookie crumbs. Press crumbs down gently. Refrigerate for 3 hours or until set. Decorate cookie tombstones with writing gels as desired; let set. Insert tombstones around edge of pie. With spoon, mound cookie crumbs to form “fresh graves.” Decorate graveyard with candy to make the pie as spooky as you want it to be! Makes 8 servings.

Pink Talking Fish Three mammoth bands. Three musical phenomenons. One idea inspired by love of the music. That’s Pink Talking Fish, who visit the Landmark stage with their hybrid tribute fusion act. Pink Floyd, The Talking Heads and Phish are all more than just bands to Eric Gould on bass, Richard James on keyboards, Zack Burwick on drums, and Cal Kehoe on guitar. PTF has discovered that fusing the material together creates an amazing story. The epic emotion of Pink Floyd. The funky, dance-able layerings of The Talking Heads. The styles, unique compositional structures and pure fun of Phish — to merge these three into one gives music lovers a special experience. Discovering connections is part of the fun: Pink Floyd’s ‘On The Run’ seamlessly ﬁtting in the middle of the composition of Phish’s ‘You Enjoy Myself.’ Perfectly placing Phish’s ‘Sand’ into the groove of The Talking Head’s ‘Slippery People,’ and more. Saturday, Oct. 28, 8 p.m. $45 and $40. Jeanne Rimsky Theater at Landmark on Main Street, 232 Main St., Port Washington. (917) 567-5842 or LandmarkOnMainStreet.org.

THE

Nov.

The Joni Project

The Joni Project visits the Landmark stage, Friday, Nov. 10, 8 p.m., celebrating Joni Mitchell’s 80th birthday. The musically sophisticated band is fronted by remarkable multi-instrumentalist and singer Katie Pearlman, who impressively plays Joni’s songs in their original open guitar tunings, and also includes jazz and jam band mainstays Dave Berg (guitar), Dan Ehrlich (bass), Alan Lerner (drums), Mark Mancini (keyboards), Steve Finklestein (percussion), Premik Russell Tubbs (saxophone and flute) and Victoria Faiella (backing vocals). Collectively, they’ve performed with members of the Grateful Dead, The Band, The Doors, the Neville Brothers, and many others. Together, they bring fresh interpretation to Joni’s legendary tunes from their many eras and genres — particularly from the time of her stunning and dynamic collaboration with Jaco Pastorius, Pat Metheny and Michael Brecker. From the deep folk roots of her musical beginnings, Joni’s music evolved over the years to include elements of funk, rock and the full palette of harmonic colors embodied by modern jazz. Her brilliantly original chord progressions were paired with beautifully crafted melodies adorned by lyrics of unmatched poetic profundity to create some of the most powerfully enduring and well-loved songs of all time. Perlman faithfully performs in true Joni style, her tunings remain as fresh today as they were when first performed. $45, $39. $33. Jeanne Rimsky Theater at Landmark on Main Street, 232 Main St., Port Washington. (917) 567-5842 or LandmarkOnMainStreet.org.

On exhibit View the landmark exhibition “Modigliani and the Modern Portrait,” at Nassau County Museum of Art. Devoted to the way that Modigliani powerfully re-defined the art of portraiture, the show includes his masterworks along with paintings and drawings by his Parisian contemporaries (Picasso, van Dongen, Laurencin). Modigliani’s enduring influence on artists even in our own time is shown in a selection of Contemporary paintings by such important figures as David Hockney, Eric Fischl, Elizabeth Peyton and others. The exhibition is being curated by Dr. Kenneth Wayne, founder of The Modigliani Project, which authenticates paintings and drawings (two of the works in the show have been recently approved by the committee). Through Nov. 5. Nassau County Museum of Art, 1 Museum Dr., Roslyn Harbor. (516) 484-9337 or NassauMuseum.org.

See “Alabama Story,” presented by Nassau Community College Theater and Dance Thursday through Saturday, oct. 26-28, 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, Oct. 29, 2 p.m.; panel discussion follows Sunday performance at 4:30 p.m., discussing book banning and censorship. Also online streaming show, Nov. 3. Kenneth Jones’ new play is based on the real life story of Emily Wheelock Reed, a librarian who defended a book that caused a minor uproar in 1959 Alabama. A gentle children’s book with an apparent hidden message stirs the passions of a segregationist state senator, just as the civil rights movement is flowering. A contrasting story of childhood friends — an African American man and a woman of white privilege, reunited in adulthood in Montgomery that same year — provides private counterpoint to the public events of the play. Nassau Community College’s LittleTheatre, Garden City. Tickets $12; NCC students free with valid ID; $10 veterans, alumni, seniors 60+, students and NCC employees. For tickets/ information, email throff@ ncc. Edu or call (516) 5727676.

lodging for families while they’re here for the procedure, and the club makes sure they’re receiving the best care. “While the family is here, we make sure that the family is okay, and we make sure that the child is okay during recovery” Barry McDaniel, the president of the Rotary Club, said. Eddy Marc-Charles, a Rotary Club member, sponsors families along with his wife. He has been doing so for the past three years. “They would be in charge of making sure that the family isn’t detained while they’re here in America and making sure that the hospitality is taken care of, even if it means taking them out to different activities throughout the city, whether it’s the aquarium or anything like that, just to give them a sense of home while they’re here,” McDaniel said. Families come from countries all over the world to receive lifesaving treatment. The Rotary Club’s most recent family for the Gift of Life program was a grandmother and granddaughter from Haiti. Marc-Charles provided transportation for them and showed them around the area to help make them more comfortable. “There is an adjustment when they come over,” Marc-Charles explained. “I have to show them how to use the elevator. They’re not used to the type of food that they serve at the Ronald McDonald House, so I took them out to a Haitian restaurant.” Families can be here for around a month or less, depending on how the surgery and recovery process go. Once they return to their countries, the club follows up with them to ensure everything went well. “One of the things that we make sure of is that while they’re here, they enjoy the moment and their visit,” MarcCharles said. “We take them to the library, we take them to the zoo, and also to the botanical garden so they have an experience. So, when they go back, they’re very happy.” In addition to bringing families here, the Rotary Club also trains doctors in other countries to do heart surgeries, including doctors in El Salvador, Uganda, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, and more. “We train the physicians in the country. A group of physicians will go there and show them how to do the surgery, and back and forth. And after that, we don’t have to bring them from their original country to have the surgery,” MarcCharles said. The Freeport-Merrick Rotary Club also focuses heavily on the domestic side, running dozens of programs a year, including a Rotary Day of Service in May and the ringing of the bell for the Salvation Army every holiday season. The club is preparing to celebrate their 80 year anniversary. To learn more about the FreeportMerrick Rotary Club and the work they do, visit freeportmerrickrotary.org.

Q. My home insurance is being canceled, and I’m actively looking around to replace it. The excuse I got was that the companies that used to insure find the risks in flood and wind-prone areas are now too great. I understand this, so I’m wondering if there are things I can do to make my home less of an insurance risk to a company. Are there reasonable upgrades I can make, and what are they?

A. The answer has two sides, like a doubleedged sword. First, yes, there are things you can do to your home to make it easier to insure. But the second part is applying the meaning of the word “reasonable.” Next, you have to understand that, like other forms of gambling, which is what insurance really is, do you have a chance to win back your money, your insurance payments, or your investment in your property to presumably reduce onte eeper the payments? Again, insurance is a legalized form of gambling, extensively regulated but sometimes loosely enforced. Many people say, when describing gambling casinos, that the house always wins in the end, and with a few exceptions, casinos rarely fail. Insurance companies have been hit with one disaster after another due to strange global weather that some deny is a trend, but those companies aren’t as care-less, and they invest heavily in statistical analysis, so you can bet that if they’re pulling out of certain areas, they know something. So, a “reasonable” investment to make your house easier or more attractive to insure often ends up being unreasonable, or is based on faulty assumptions. For example, you may add a steel roof and concrete composite siding as a more reasonable and less costly wind-resistance improvement, only to discover that the insurance company thinks you should still have raised your home, because they think flooding is a bigger and more frequent risk to insure. Add to that the fact, as some insurers will point out when you complain, that by making the improvements, you increase the cost of reconstruction. That’s a good argument, one you’ll never win. The same thing happens with alarm systems, fencing your property or removing trees that could fall on your roof. Make improvements that help you to recover more healthfully, safely and economically, for your own assurance. I am convinced, as you can see, that all the effort you put in is not universal in your neighborhood, and insurance companies look at whole areas, not just your home, for insurability. Even the Federal Emergency Management Agency is a large and extremely indebted insurance company, funded with the help of tax dollars and losing billions. So before you make changes and improvements, remind yourself that you’re doing this for yourself, not to reduce insurance costs. As Walter Cronkite used to say when he signed off on his broadcast of “The CBS Evening News” when I was a kid, “And that’s the way it is.” Good luck with whatever you decide to improve.

opinions

f ever there were a just war, it is Israel’s war against Hamas. If ever there were a war in which there is no moral equivalence, it is Israel’s war against Hamas. If ever there were a war with potential regional and global implications, it is Israel’s war against Hamas. That’s why I believe it is disgraceful and indefensible for so many in the media, in academia and in political circles to be suggesting, and acting as if, there were “two sides” to this war. As if Israel has to defend its military action, and somehow it is the Palestinians in pETER Gaza who are victims. KinG The war began when Hamas launched a terrorist attack targeting Israel’s most innocent noncombatants, murdering children, women and the elderly, killing 1,400 Israelis and taking more than 200 hostages. These noncombatants were not “collateral damage.” They were Hamas’ intended victims. This was the ultimate in depraved terrorism. Israel has not only the legal and moral right to retaliate against Hamas, but

the moral obligation to defend its citizens by doing all it can to destroy Hamas. Yet with each passing day, we see media commentators, student demonstrators and morally challenged politicians such as U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, of Michigan, anguishing over the plight of the Palestinians and the concern that Israel will “overreact” to a terrorist attack that resulted in the equivalent of 40,000 dead in the United States. Most shockingly, we saw the same cast of characters accept Hamas’ unsubstantiated claim that an Israeli rocket had destroyed a hospital in Gaza, causing more than 500 innocent fatalities. Some Americans are calling for a ceasefire. Unfortunately, President Biden added to the moral and strategic confusion when, during his meeting in Israel with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he referred to Hamas as the “other team” and cautioned Israel against overreacting. What has happened to our ability as a people to make moral distinctions and judgments and recognize the difference between good and evil, victim and assailant? Would anyone have suggested in the

days following the attack on Pearl Harbor that President Franklin D. Roosevelt call for a ceasefire with Japan, or that he and Gen. Douglas MacArthur assure the world that the United States would not overreact? Would FDR, then Gen. Dwight Eisenhower and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill have been called on to ensure that they would observe the rules of war in combating Hitler? Would the media have felt obligated to give “both sides” of the story? To give equal time to Hitler and Japanese Emperor Hirohito? Would any American, let alone the president, have referred to Nazis or the Gestapo as the “other team”? Would the media have gone through the streets of Dresden, Hamburg or Berlin looking for civilian casualties, or taking at face value Nazi claims of American war crimes? The reality is that there will always be unintended civilian casualties in any war. This will be especially true in any war with Hamas, which intentionally locates its fighters, rockets and artillery in densely populated civilian areas. Unlike Hamas, Israel will make every effort to avoid civilian deaths, and certainly won’t target non-

f ever there were a war in which there is no moral equivalence, it is this one.

combatants. Waging war against Hamas goes far beyond retaliation or revenge. Hamas must, to the greatest extent possible, be annihilated, to prevent future attacks on Israel’s citizens. Hamas is also a proxy for Iran, which is the largest state sponsor of terror in the world and an ever-growing military — and soon to be nuclear — threat to the region and the world. Hezbollah, headquartered just north of Israel in Lebanon, possesses over 100,000 rockets, and is also a wholly owned subsidiary of Iran. Israel is our strongest ally and the only democracy in the Middle East, the most volatile region in the world. This current war is not a battle for turf or bragging rights. It is a struggle that Israel is waging for itself and for all civilized peoples. Israel deserves our full, unqualified support for its own success and security, and the future of the world as we know it. It is also time for the United States to restore its sense of moral balance, and accept the reality that there can be no moral equivalence in this struggle between good and evil. Stand with Israel!

We need to do more to address antisemitism

n Oct. 7, I, like most people, watched in horror as broadcast images from Israel showed terrorists from Gaza indiscriminately killing Israelis. There were unimaginable acts of violence perpetrated against women, children and the elderly whose only sin was that they were of the Jewish faith. Some 1,400 Israelis were murdered and over 200 people were taken as hostages, including some American citizens. As utterly sickening as those scenes were, some images from here at home were just as repulsive and BRiAn saddening, specifiCURRAn cally the sight of individuals and groups in New York City and other liberal-leaning cities condemning Israel and chanting proHamas slogans. Israel and its citizens were blamed for their own bloodshed by institutions of “higher education” like Harvard and New York Law School, social justice groups like BLM of Chicago, and elected officials like U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib. Instead of condemning the acts of terror, they justified them as acts of “resistance.” As if beheading children, raping women and torturing elderly people are legitimate forms of political resistance. Let me be clear: The attack on Israel

was an unprovoked and unjustified act of evil that should not be tolerated or supported by any decent human being with a heart and a soul. No rational person can label the killing and kidnapping of children, women and the elderly as some form of political retribution for decades of perceived differences. What occurred on Oct. 7 were barbaric crimes against humanity. To anyone who defends the attacks, I would say you should be ashamed of yourself. For the past four years, I have repeatedly said that the world is upside down — right has become wrong, and good has become evil. But events in Israel have shown that it is more than that: There is a sickness in our country and our culture. When the brutal murder of an Israeli child can be rationalized as some form of political disagreement, we cannot ignore it any longer. It is our obligation to confront the growing hatred directed at the Jewish community. The Anti-Defamation League found that the number of antisemitism incidents in the United States increased by more than 35 percent from 2021 (2,721) to 2022 (3,697). And the ADL determined that, in 2022, New York state once again had the most antisemitic incidents of any state — a staggering 580, a 39 percent increase from the 416 reported in 2021. Incidents in New York alone accounted for 15.7 percent of all doc-

umented antisemitic incidents in the United States in 2022. Antisemitism is real, and that is nowhere more evident than in New York. If we’re serious about dealing with it here, we must be honest about its root causes and those fermenting the hatred. We must actively and vocally push back against any elected officials who use their positions to push an antisemitic platform. The Democratic Socialists of America, which has chapters in New York, are rapidly accounting for a greater percentage of the Democratic Party. There are now 34 elected officials in New York who identify as Democratic Socialists, in Congress, the State Senate, the Assembly, the New York City Council and other governmental offices. The DSA has adopted a Pro-Palestinian and AntiIsrael platform, which has resulted in legislation being proposed on the state level that some have called antisemitic. To highlight its core belief, the New York City chapter endorsed a Pro-Palestinian rally in Times Square the day after the attacks. In addition to calling out politicians, we can no longer accept institutions of higher education breeding and fermenting hatred toward Jews. The City University of New York Law School at Queens College has become known for its anti-Jewish positions. The CUNY Law Faculty Council

ast year, New York had more antisemitic incidents than any other state.

approved an anti-Israel resolution supporting Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel. CUNY also allowed a commencement graduation address this spring that accused Israel of “indiscriminate” murder of Palestinians and encouraged people to fight Zionism around the world. As taxpaying citizens, we must defund schools like CUNY Law School if they continue to support and encourage Anti-Israel language and actions that incite hatred against the Jewish community. Furthermore, we can no longer allow district attorneys, who were elected to protect the public, to refuse to enforce hate crimes against Jewish victims and instead offer lenient plea deals to criminals. In May 2021, Joseph Borgen, a Jewish man, was savagely beaten and pepper-sprayed by a group of attackers led by Waseem Awawdeh. During the assault, they yelled “F--- Israel. Hamas is going to kill all of you.” Despite all that, Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg offered Awawdeh a six-month plea deal, after which Awawdeh said, “If I could do it again, I would do it again.” We must demand that those who commit antisemitic hate crimes be fully prosecuted to send a message that such bigotry will not be tolerated. There is a lot of work to do to make New York a safe state for people of the Jewish faith. It will take courage from everyone to stand up to this evil, no matter who is perpetrating or aiding it.

Have a fun — and safe — Halloween

ctober marks the return of the “spooky season.” But before you get all dressed up and head out to celebrate Halloween, it’s important to remember that safety must come first. A study conducted by State Farm found that one of every four pedestrian deaths on Halloween are children out walking between 6 and 7 p.m. And a vast majority of those deaths occur away from a crosswalk or intersection. Halloween is supposed to be a time for fun, costumes and candy — not rides in ambulances. There are lots of cars on the roads, even when kids are trick-ortreating. And on this night it’s more important than ever to use crosswalks, look both ways, and stay on the sidewalks. Especially with the uptick in reckless driving the Herald has reported on in recent weeks in different neighborhoods. Also, wear bright, reflective colors, or add strips of reflective tape to costumes to make them more visible to passing vehicles. But that’s not all. The Consumer Product Safety Commission warns parents to buy only flame-resistant costumes — generally made of fabrics like polyester or nylon — and to ensure that costumes

aren’t too long or too wide, which could cause our young ones to trip. Children should travel in groups accompanied by parents or responsible adults, and only knock on doors of welllit homes that have porch lights on. Instead of masks that can obscure your vision, use makeup and hats instead. Just be sure makeup is Food and Drug Administration-approved, especially anything applied on the face or around the eyes. And avoid decorative contact lenses that change eye color. All of these are warnings many of us have heard every year. But what about all that delicious Halloween candy? We all grew up hearing horror stories about razor blades in apples, and evil people poisoning the miniature candy bars they hand out. But dangers today may not even be intentional. last year, for example, authorities at los Angeles International Airport confiscated nearly 12,000 fentanyl pills hidden inside wrapped bags and boxes of candy. While it’s highly unlikely that children were the targets of the smugglers, police, as always, advised parents to inspect the candy their trick-ortreaters brought home. That’s more important these days than ever, and if you find anything suspicious, do not

touch it, and notify law enforcement right away. Another new threat is THC edibles and candies that may look like something intended for children, but are anything but. They come in shapes similar to Sour Patch Kids, gummy worms and chocolate bars, but they contain psychoactive substances. The worst part? Some people may not even realize they’ve bought it, and could give it out to kids without even realizing what’s inside. While the effects of THC ingestion in children vary, some telltale symptoms may include sedation, shortness of breath, anxiety, and quivering. If you believe a child has accidentally consumed THC edibles, call the National Capital Poison Center, at (800) 222-1222. Of course, The FDA advises not accepting or eating anything that is not commercially wrapped. Inspect wrappers for any signs of tampering, including an unusual appearance, discoloration, pinholes, or tears in the wrappers. And if anything in your child’s trick-ortreat bag looks suspicious, throw it away. There are so many things all of us can be for Halloween this year. But the last thing any of us wants to be is a statistic. So plan ahead, stay safe and alert, and fun will surely follow.

Faith will help Israel survive To the Editor: On the morning of Oct. 12, corresponding to the 27th day of the month of Tishrei in the Hebrew calendar, Jews at morning prayers in synagogues around the world began the cycle of Torah reading with the chanting of the first words of Genesis, “In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.” This cycle has been going on for thousands of years, and its endurance is a testament to the strength and faith of the Jewish people. Unfortunately, the tragedy of war and terror that Israel is now enduring has also continued to repeat itself, from the earliest days of exile and the destruction of the first temple in Jerusalem, to the war now raging in Gaza. Nonetheless, the survival of the Jewish people is a direct result of our faith and belief that there is a God that watches over us, to ensure our survival as a nation — not in a geographic sense, but in a spiritual one. Individually, we are vulnerable to the vicissitudes of life, as we have sadly witnessed in Israel. Collectively, however, we prevail and survive, as our faith once again leads us to listen to the chanting of those first words of Genesis. Those who tragically die, either in battle as warriors or merely because of their faith, do not die in vain. They join an endless list of martyrs who perished, yet serve as a testament to our ability to survive as a nation, in triumph over tragedy. We must all pray for Israel’s survival, and that peace can reign supreme in Israel, Gaza and throughout the world. Dr. MEl YOUNG Lawrence

It’s time for many to choose a Medicare plan To the Editor: As a physician, the last thing I want is for patients to make decisions about their health and well-being based on the cost of care and medication rather than their actual needs. right now is a critical time for the over

3.8 million individuals in New York who rely on Medicare for their health insurance. Evaluating your health care needs can help you select a plan that will cover you when you need it the most and fit within your budget. While it’s impossible to foresee all health issues that may require treatment, there are several things to consider during the Medicare Advantage and prescription drug plan annual election period, which runs through Dec. 7:

ne of the highest priorities of Freeport Public Schools is to identify and address the multifaceted challenges students, families and communities face today. For students to succeed, we must provide them with the resources they need. By promoting family engagement, providing academic support, fostering youth development and building community partnerships, we can work together to create a brighter and more equitable future for all children. The My Brother’s Keeper Project Family/ Community kishore Engagement Project Grant and the kUnCham 21st Century Community Learning Centers Grant are two initiatives that are geared to address the challenges that students and communities face today. The My Brother’s Keeper Project Family/Community Engagement Project activates the resources families may need to promote meaningful, sustained collaboration among families, students and educators. Freeport Schools has partnered with local institutes of higher education and community-based organizations to lead assessments to help identify areas of strength and growth, and to provide targeted training, professional development, coaching, resources and support to all stakeholders. Through the efforts and expertise of the project’s partners, the district will enable our families to stand on equal ground, be active in their children’s education, under-

stand the contributions they can make to the school community, and help their children succeed. Freeport Public Schools receives $125,000 annually, for five years, under this grant. The first goal of the grant is to focus on the development of knowledge and skills among school and district personnel, as well as families and community members to build trusting relationships to effectively address students’ learning needs. The second goal is to emphasize the importance of providing access to multi-level networks that promote respect and trust, particularly in nurturing family relationships with both the school and the broader school community. The third goal is to establish an inclusive and conducive environment where partnerships can flourish — one of cultural diversity, comfort and engagement, contributing to the cultivation of mutual respect and trust among stakeholders. The fourth goal is to fostering child-centered roles for schools, families and the community, emphasizing both student learning and social-emotional development. The Freeport district has partnered with the Cradle of Aviation, Molloy University, Adelphi University, the Center for Community Inclusion at Long Island University and the CUNY Graduate Center to provide in-classroom interactive lessons that are designed for parents and their children to learn together and participate in STEM activities at home. The district has provided instructional staff, administrators, and parents with workshops designed to foster community building, empowerment skills, support literacy, college and career readiness, and to promote a climate of intercultural awareness and respect. Through the MBK grant, the district has provided families with a robust series

For instance, if you have prediabetes, consider the potential for future diabetes management. ■ Prescription drug benefits: Prescription drug coverage is included in many Medicare Advantage plans, unlike original Medicare. If you prefer original Medicare, you can opt for a stand-alone prescription drug plan through a private insurer.

of Parent Universities each school year. The grant funded more than 50 events in 2022-23, including Books Before Bedtime, Family Literacy Night, Math and Movement, Grupo de Padres, STEAM Night, and Wellness workshops for students and their families. More than 1,450 parents and 1,500 students took part in district-sponsored events. More than 300 teachers and administrators participated in professional learning opportunities focused on strengthening their engagement and communication skills with families and students which is aligned to the New York State culturally responsive and sustaining framework. The 21st Century Community Learning Centers Grant is a competitive federal program that provides funding to support the establishment and operation of community learning centers. Freeport Public Schools has received the maximum allocation of $6 million over five years. Through this grant, the district has partnered with the Cradle of Aviation, the Long Island Children’s Museum, Freeport Recreation Center, SKY Schools, Drama Kids, the Hofstra Museum of Art, the LIU Center for Community Inclusion, the South Shore Child Guidance Center, the Leadership Training Institute and Long Island STEAM to provide robust academic, recreational, enrichment, and wellness programs and opportunities for our students and their families. This grant creates community-learning centers offering activities outside regular school hours, including tutoring, homework assistance, mentoring, arts and cultural programs, sports and recreation, character education, and other activities. The centers serve as safe and supportive environments where students can engage in educational and recreational activities

that complement their academic programs. The grant program encourages collaboration among schools, families and community organizations to provide a comprehensive approach to supporting student learning and development. By bringing together various stakeholders, including schools, local government agencies, nonprofit organizations and businesses, it seeks to strengthen communities and enhance the educational outcomes of students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. The 21st CCLC Grant enhances students’ educational experiences and helps them develop new skills and interests. It benefits our communities by creating safe and productive spaces for students, involving community members in education, and contributing to improved academic outcomes. Research has shown that students who participate in the program often have better school attendance and exhibit improved behavior. Program highlights include the Read With Me Mentoring Program, with more than 780 students participating — 130 percent of our yearly goal — and more than 550 families participate in the Family Fun Nights throughout the year. Students who attended more than 15 hours in the program improved their classroom grades and their performance in state assessments. The two grants have had a positive impact on our schools, students and their families. The Freeport Schools has been able to further promote college and career readiness, community engagement, social and emotional development, academic and enrichment programs, and improve attendance and behavior. Kishore Kuncham is the superintendent of Freeport Public Schools.

Consider monthly premiums, deductibles and co-pays for hospital stays and doctor visits. Also, pay attention to annual maximum out-of-pocket costs — if you reach the limit, you’ll pay nothing for covered services the rest of the year.

■ Doctors and hospitals: If you have a favorite doctor, make sure he or she accepts your plan, to avoid any additional expenses for out-of-network providers. Also, deter mine whether the plan requires referrals for specialized care.

■ Quality: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services reviews and rates all Medicare Advantage plans before the enrollment period each year to help consumers make informed decisions. Plans are rated on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 indicating poor performance and 5 indicating excellence.
