Church’s thrift shop seeks help in relocation challenges By MoHAMED FARGHAlY mfarghaly@liherald.com

In the heart of Freeport, the Holy Redeemer Church Thrift Shop stands as a beacon of support and affordability for the local community. Offering a diverse array of items at remarkably low prices, this vital resource has become a lifeline for families facing financial constraints. From clothing and shoes to household essentials and baby items, the thrift shop provides accessible options, with items priced at a mere $2. Beneath the surface of this community pillar lie challenges that threaten its sustainability. The thrift shop’s relocation late last year from 23 W. Merrick Road to 87 Pine St. in Freeport was prompted by soaring rent costs, underscores the delicate balance it maintains between service to the community and financial viability. Despite overcoming the hurdle of relocation,

the shop now faces the uphill task of establishing visibility and overcoming financial constraints to continue its mission of compassion and generosity. “It has been a year since the thrift shop moved to the new location, however, not many people are informed where we are operating,” Director of Our Holy Redeemer Human Services and Thrift Shop, Ana Sullivan said. The new location, situated conveniently next to the Holy Redeemer Church in Freeport, has proven to be a game-changer for the thrift shop. With no monthly rent, the church can now allocate more resources to the heart of its mission – supporting and providing for the community. The significance of the move was emphasized by Sullivan., who assumed the leadership role in November of last year. She said the thrift shop serves as an essential resource for the needy Continued on page 8

n the long term, my focus extends into enhancing affordability to ensure that people can live here and work within the community.

Remembering those who served and sacrificed By MOHAMED FARGHALY mfarghaly@liherald.com

The Village of Freeport and William Clinton Story Post No. 342 geared up to commemorate Veterans Day with a special event at the Freeport Recreation Center on Nov 10. This heartfelt occasion honored the brave individuals who have selflessly served their nation, and was a poignant tribute to these dedicated veterans. The event featured a range of dignitaries, including Village of Freeport Mayor Robert Kennedy, who shared remarks to express the village’s gratitude for the sacrifices made by its veterans. Additionally, the Freeport High School Navy Jr. ROTC was on hand to pay their respects and add a touch of patriotic spirit to the event. One of the special honorees for this Veterans Day event was Albert D. Grover, a World War II veteran and the son of Albert Walter Grover, a WWI veteran. Albert D. Grover is not only celebrated for his service to the United States but is also recognized for his legendary contributions as a Freeport Boat Builder and a world record-holding sailor. Another distinguished veteran, Andrew Hardwick, was recognized for his service as a former Mayor of Freeport, a Past Freeport Fire Captain, and a former Deputy Commissioner of Nassau County Parks and Recreation. He also served as a United States Army Military Police officer assigned to the 55th Military Police Company in the Republic of Korea. Dr. Marie C. Houanche, a Universal Theology Seminary graduate, an ordained Minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and a Master of Health Care Administration from SUNY Downstate University, was honored for her remarkable service as a Military Surgical Nurse in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Marie Houanche currently serves as the Chaplain for William Clinton Story Post No. 342. Ed Arias, a 22-year Veteran of the United States Marine Corps, an alumnus of the Wounded Warrior Project, and a member of the Travis Manion Foundation, was also recognized for his service and dedication to supporting fellow veterans. The event was a touching commemoration of these exceptional individuals and all veterans who have served their country. I included various ceremonies, including an invocation, the Pledge of Allegiance, and the National Anthem, all-leading to the heartfelt moments of honoring and dedication prayers. The event concluded with the retiring of the colors and an opportunity for attendees to enjoy some fun and refreshments. The Village of Freeport is proud to express its gratitude to the veterans who have served and sacrificed for the nation.

Calvin Andrew and Nassau County Legislator Debra Mulé spoke during the event.

can live here and work within the community,” he said. Koslow’s term begins in January, but he has already made his presence felt. On Nov. 9, he took part in an event honoring veterans at Norman J. Levy Lakeside School in Merrick, planning to engage with the community from the outset. His first priority as a legislator, he said, will be focusing on infrastructure, with an emphasis on creating more parks in the towns he will represent. “ I ’ m g o i n g t o b e a c t ive ly involved in addressing various issues related to fields and open spaces within our communities,” Koslow said. “I, along with other local town authorities, will explore opportunities for tur ning town areas, facilitating a broader range of sports and activities.” He also emphasized the importance of ensuring that small businesses can operate without unnecessary regulation, stressing his commitment to providing equal resources to minority- and women-owned businesses to promote economic growth. During his campaign, Koslow acknowledged the challenges of the county’s high cost of living,

infrastructure issues such as sinkholes and potholes, and the need for a safe environment for families. “As a father of three, my dedication to the community is deeply personal,” said. “I actively participate in youth programs and extracurricular activities to reinforce my commitment to keeping young people engaged and attached to the community.” Koslow said he was committed to listening attentively to the concerns and criticisms of his constituents. Drawing on his legal background, he pledged to address justice-related issues effectively. He added that he looked forward to collaborating with elected officials at both the county and town level, and finding common ground on key issues in the county. “As someone who has served as both a prosecutor and a defense attorney, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals in Queens County, which is probably the most diverse county in the world,” Koslow said. “My commitment is to extend the same level of dedication to my constituents as I have for my clients, actively engaging with the community to ensure their interests are well represented.”

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

Planning For and Executing Inheritances (Part Two) Early on, we learned the phrase “there’s nothing so unequal as the equal treatment of unequals.” Who has children that are all the same? Some children have received significant help from parents during their lifetimes while others haven’t. Many parents choose the “forgiveness provision” to address this situation at death, to either “equalize” any gifts made to some children during lifetime with those who did not or, in the alternative, to “forgive” any loans made to children and then make a gift in like amount to each of the other children by inheritance, before the estate is divvied up in equal shares. Next up is the problem of children who are partially or wholly estranged. Many clients wish to leave them a token amount but there are pitfalls to consider. One who is left considerably less than their siblings will often be angry and upset. They may demand that their siblings disclose what they received and even to pony up their equal share. Not only that, but the burden of telling that estranged

child they are getting less and delivering the paltry amount is left to the children who you wish to favor! In our view, it is sometimes better to leave an estranged child out altogether than to stir up all the issues surrounding an inheritance much smaller than equal. There are many valid reasons, however, to treat children differently. They may have alcohol or substance abuse issues, learning disabilities or special needs, they may be immature and irresponsible, poor at handling money or a “soft touch” and, finally, they may have a spouse that dominates them and you do not want to see that controlling spouse get your money. Sometimes parents leave more to the “needy” child, the old adage being that “the tongue always turns to the aching tooth”. If so, other children’s feelings may need to addressed. A letter to be opened after your death, explaining what you did and why, may go a long way towards soothing hurt feelings and avoiding misunderstandings.

Another way to safety: Just text 911 By RACHELE TERRANOVA rterranova@liherald.com

It’s supposed to always be available in an emergency. But up until now, there was really only one way to call 911, and that was by calling 911. But not anymore. Calling 911 is still available, but in those times of emergency — especially in a very precarious, and potentially dangerous situation — there is now another option in Nassau County: Text-to-911. Officials with the Nassau County Police Department’s communications bureau officially rolled out the new program earlier this month, where instead of calling 911, those who need help immediately can also text 911, too. It’s actually been around since September, and even though the rollout wasn’t public, police and other emergency services already have responded to more than 100 text emergencies. But still, even with this new option, Nassau County Police Department commissioner Patrick Ryder stressed this should be used only when necessary. “We want everyone to understand that (the) Text-to-911 program is not to replace the 911 call,” Ryder told reporters during a recent news conference sharing the program. “Iif you have that ability to call, call 911. Always call 911.” Nassau’s Text-to-911 program has joined those already in operation in

Rachele Terranova/Herald

Nassau County Police Department commissioner Patrick Ryder officially introduced the Text-to-911 program last week, which will allow those reporting an emergency to text for help if they are not able to call. Suffolk County and New York City. The service is intended for those with a hearing or speech disability, if someone cannot speak because of an injury or medical condition, if someone is in a threatening situation— such as a domestic or active shooter situation —

or if there is simply poor mobile phone reception. The commissioner emphasized the speed of response is dependent on someone’s phone service. But still, there is no significant delay caused by texting 911 as opposed to calling.

To access the service, simply put “911” as the recipient of the text message, and in the body of the text, detail your emergency. During the news conference, Ryder had a member of his communications bureau team demonstrate exactly how his department receives and responds to a texted 911 message. “Our communications operators are the best in the country,” Ryder said. “They’re trained. They’re very dedicated to the service. They know how to handle a victim. They’ve done it over and over and over. “We give them a lot of credit. This is just another tool to help the victim, and extra tool to get help.” The Nassau County Legislature last fall earmarked more than $100,000 to Intergraph Corp., to implement the Text-to-911 interface. At the time, Robert Saccente Jr. — an American Sign Language specialist for the Mill Neck Manor School for the Deaf — said such a system was long overdue. “There was no way for me, as a deaf person, to call 911” during an emergency when someone collapsed in front of Saccente during a defensive driving class and needed immediate help. “Fortunately, there were other people that were taking the class that were able to call for me. Here I am, the first person in the room. CPR certified. And I wasn’t able to make a call for him.”

MSSN salutes veterans for their service kdaniel@liherald.com

According to results of the latest Mount Sinai South Nassau “Truth in Medicine Poll,” only 15 percent of area residents have received the updated Covid-19 vaccine. Although 70 percent of 600 residents surveyed agreed that vaccines are important to their health, a majority of respondents had not acted yet to receive the updated Covid-19 vaccine that was approved last month for people ages six months and older by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration. The Truth in Medicine poll is a survey of Long Island and New York City adult residents that aims to gather data about attitudes on key public health topics and help spur education to improve public health. The poll was conducted October 1-6 through both landlines and cell phones with 600 residents in New York City and on Long Island. “Getting vaccinated against the flu and Covid-19 is an essential step to take in protecting individual and community health,” said Linda Armyn, president and chief executive officer of Bethpage Federal Credit Union, who sponsored the poll. “It is a safe, effective, and socially responsible action that can help prevent serious illness,

their children get the updated vaccine. The main reasons offered by respondents who will pass on getting the Covid-19 vaccine include that “they don’t think they need it” or “don’t think that it is effective.” Experts caution that this attitude is a recipe for community

spread of the virus and a rapid increase in the number of moderate-to-severe cases of Covid-19. “I encourage all eligible individuals to discuss with their doctor whether they need to get the updated vaccine. In general, though, I recommend that individuals who are especially vulnerable, including immunocompromised individuals of any age, pregnant women, and adults older than 65 who have not recently had Covid-19 or received a bivalent booster, get the new vaccine as soon as possible to protect against a severe case of the disease,” said Aaron Glatt, chair of the department of medicine and chief of infectious diseases at Mount Sinai South Nassau. The official CDC recommendation is to wait to get the updated booster for a minimum of two months after your last immunization and three months if you had a Covid virus infection recently. “Unfortunately, the vaccine has become a political issue for some, and that may be having an impact on the willingness of area residents to get the updated vaccine,” said Adhi Sharma, president, of Mount Sinai South Nassau. “But this is about science, not politics. And the science is clear. Both the updated Covid-19 and flu vaccines help keep people out of the hospital and save lives. There is no better way to protect your family as the flu and winter seasons are upon us.”

families of Freeport, offering a wide array of items at remarkably low prices. Clothing, shoes, household essentials, and baby items are all available at a nominal cost. “The purpose of the shop is to sell the stuff we offer everything at a very low cost,” Sullivan said. “A pair of jeans is only $2, it’s very cheap. Here in Freeport, there are a lot of families who are in need. Families in Freeport who are in need look for places like that where they can save.” Beyond merely providing affordable items, the Holy Redeemer Church Thrift Shop operates in collaboration with the Human Services Department, offering vouchers to those in need. Vouchers can be redeemed at the thrift shop, allowing families to acquire essential items without the financial burden. The shop’s commitment to supporting the broader community extends to addressing issues such as healthcare, immigration, and housing. While located next to the church, its visibility is limited, relying heavily on word of mouth and church announcements to inform the community of its existence. Efforts have been made to distribute flyers, but the lack of a significant advertising budget remains a hindrance. In an effort to address this, the director expressed the need for community support in spreading awareness. Individuals can support the shop by shopping, donating , and volunteering. The shop is open on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, providing ample opportunities for community members to engage. Sullivan has brought a transformative and compassionate energy that has revitalized the entire initiative. Her extensive experience in ministry and dedication to serving the community has reshaped the way the thrift shop operates.

Five ways you can help out the Thrift Shop Shop and Donate Visit the thrift shop to purchase affordable items, with prices as low as $2.

the Holy redeemer Church thrift Shop in freeport is a vital community resource offering affordable items to families facing financial constraints. She has implemented significant changes, streamlining the food distribution system to minimize wait times, enhancing efficiency, and ensuring that everyone in need is served promptly. “I came here to reorganize the program and make it run more efficiently with more organization,” Sullivan said. “Before me, people used to wait outside, even in winter. I found a way to accommodate people. Now, people come here, and

they don’t even wait 15 minutes. We call them in groups; they sit down, receive the food, and leave.” As the holiday season approaches, the Holy Redeemer Church Thrift Shop is gearing up to provide support for Thanksgiving and Christmas. The director encourages donations and assistance to ensure that over 200 children in need receive gifts and essential items during the festive season.

Stefans helps women find financial security pschug@liherald.com

Donna Stefans is preparing women for a financially fruitful future. And last week, she took to Zoom to share some of that expertise as part of the Herald Inside LI roundtable series. Stefans — the founder and lead attorney at Stefans Law Group — says women should quiz themselves with a number of questions to help them assess where they are financially. Not just now, but in the future. But in this particular event, Stefans quizzed participants on how long they felt the typical women or man lived, how many women out in the workforce were saving for retirement, and what women’s income was like compared to men. She shared how the answers to these questions should prompt women to prepare for their own future. “Truly, knowledge is power,” Stefans said. “In order to start thinking about — if you haven’t already started thinking about — what to do with your own financial plan, what is a financial plan, and ‘what do I look like in my financial plan,’ you have to start from the beginning.” And no worries — Stefans reassured her audience they should not stress about their past planning, but rather, focus on the future. “The doubt and the fear are the parts that take us away from the path of getting to our place,” she said. “Just by being here today, it means you want to educate yourself, and build a great world for yourself.”

Stefans highlighted the importance of knowledge in household and marriage finances. “I see it very often in the widow world,” she said. “Unfortunately, a husband dies, and the husband is the one that’s been in charge of the financial assets. And, now, the wife is sitting there without her husband, and doesn’t have any idea how to manage these assets.” And then there is the “sandwich generation,” responsible for financially supporting their elderly parents and as well as their own children all while paying attention to all factors impacting personal finances before finally finding the time and energy to turn to planning. Stefans also shared the benefits of credit along with resources for credit security. “You want to make sure your credit stays clean if you have it, and that you have a good score,” she said. “Less debt out there that you’re not using would be good, and paying your credit cards on time. Even if you carry balances — which I’m not suggesting you do — but if you have balances, just pay on time, and it will help you with your credit.” A major talking point of the event was enlisting the help of a financial planner, another hat Stefans wears. That includes making sure you have lined up a will, health care proxy, durable power of attorney, guardianship provisions, and a trust to ensure individual stability in case of illness. “The biggest secret about this,” Stefans said, “is time, practice and setting goals.” To learn more about upcoming events, visit RichnerLive.com.

Sunrise Hwy construction project nears end nformisano@liherald.com

If your commute on Sunrise Highway has been interrupted by construction, there’s good news: It’s almost finished. Construction crews are in the final stages of installing over 10 miles of pipe systems along Sunrise to connect two water-treatment facilities. The project, called Bay Park Conveyance, began in the summer of 2021, with the goal of eliminating excessive nitrogen pollution in Nassau County’s Western Bays. The construction is now 77 percent completed, according to the Long Island Regional Planning Council. “The construction crews have been working on that the last few weeks,” Andrew Fera, the project director from the state Department of Environmental Conservation, said of the final phase of construction along Sunrise Highway. “We certainly hope that we can get this complete by the end of November.” For years, the South Shore Water Reclamation Facility, in East Rockaway — formerly known as the Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant — has been pumping 50 million gallons of treated sewage per day into the Western Bays. The resulting nitrogen pollution causes an overgrowth of algae and an increase in harmful toxins and bacteria, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. The underground pipes will reroute the effluent from the East Rockaway facility to the Cedar Creek Water Pollution Control Plant in Wantagh, where it will be pumped out into the Atlantic. Fera detailed the rerouting in a digital presentation on Oct. 26 by the planning council, the DEC and the Nassau County Department of Public Works, which are partners in the project. Communities near the Western Bays will see better water quality and a revitalized shellfish habitat thanks

The Bay Park Conveyance project involves the installation of over 10 miles of pipe systems along Sunrise Highway. Residents have complained about the noise and inconvenience of the construction. to the project, Fera said. The reduced nitrogen will also help restore marshland, which plays a key role in protecting the South Shore from flooding during storms. In the meantime, however, residents who live near the construction have had to endure loud noise, bright lights and strong vibrations during the night as crews have worked on the project from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. “We did all we could to reduce the noise impacts and let everyone know what to expect for those couple of

weeks when we’re in that neighborhood,” Fera said. “We did our best to be the least impactful we could, albeit with a major civil construction project. “Unfortunately, there are things that are tough to mitigate,” he added. The construction has necessitated traffic diversions along Sunrise that have irked some commuters. As well, steel sheets have temporarily replaced sections of the road, which drivers and nearby residents have complained made traffic excessively noisy. As construction comes to an end, these measures are slowly being phased out, and crews are now working on restoring the asphalt. When possible, the planning council revised the plans to reduce impact on local communities — and in one instance, part of the East Rockaway High School property. “There was going to be a major impact to that high school, which we were really trying to avoid,” Fera said. Instead, in a highly complicated rework, a curved section of piping was routed around the high school. “We have successfully completed that drive,” Fera said, “and avoided the East Rockaway High School property entirely.” If good weather continues and no unforeseen problems arise, all tunneling construction on the highway is expected to be finished by November, and all asphalt repairs finished by the end of December. If the Bay Park Conveyance remains on its current timeline, the project team will be able to turn the effluent-pumping system on next June, for a testing phase to evaluate how well it functions in extreme weather events. The project’s Community Information Center is at 265 Sunrise Highway in Rockville Centre. Those interested in scheduling an appointment can contact BayParkConveyance@gmail.com, or the 24/7 Project Hotline (516) 252-6121.

What’s neWs in and out of the classroom

HERALD SchoolS Students illuminate Diwali’s rich culture In an educational initiative spanning the Freeport School District, students delved into the rich history and cultural significance of Diwali, a prominent religious festival observed in Hinduism, Jainism, and Sikhism, symbolizing the triumph of light over darkness. At New Visions Elementary School, young learners engaged in a multifaceted exploration of Diwali. They adorned the school with a vibrant bulletin board, crafted lanterns and postcards, and immersed themselves in enlightening read-aloud sessions elucidating the festival’s profound meaning. Additionally, students showcased their artistic talents in the creation of diyas or lamps during art class, with the finished pieces prominently displayed in the school’s lobby. Archer Street School witnessed students fashioning clay diyas, diligently painting and embellishing them while absorbing the cultural nuances of the Diwali celebration. The festival spirit extended to J.W. Dodd Middle School, where students not only imbibed the significance of various Diwali traditions but also extended the festive cheer by distributing treats and informative infographics to their peers upon arrival. The school’s lobby was transformed into a festive haven adorned with banners, signs, and radiant lights. Meanwhile, at Freeport High School, Diwali found its way into social studies classes. Students actively participated in lessons designed to unravel the historical and cultural underpinnings of the Diwali holiday, contributing to a broader understanding of this significant cultural celebration across the district.

That ‘Footloose’ feeling comes alive when Kevin Bacon takes to the stage, as one-half of the Bacon Brothers, at their long-awaited Long lsland appearance rescheduled from last June.

Sunny Split-Level Home

his home features an open concept layout that connects an eat-in kitchen with a cozy den, spacious living room with a gas fireplace, and a separate formal dining room. The lower level has a family room that boasts 3 walls of glass windows with sliding doors, and a bedroom with a full bath. You will enjoy 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and beautiful views of the Golf course. There are plenty of other upgrades that are included with this home. For more information, please call Rozana Zemlyansky 516.668.3307 to schedule a private tour.

Q. Our new home is pretty old, from 1920. We want to update it and have a lot of concerns, with taxes if we enlarge it, cost if we get rid of walls, widening our driveway to park more cars and what you think about getting rid of our garage for more room instead of building up. It’s a one-story with low ceilings on the second floor that are really too small for bedrooms. My parents have been reading your column for many years and suggested you could help. What can you tell us?

Ronnie Gerber 516-238-4299

A. It’s understandable that, when you find that special house, you’re willing to overlook certain problems. This market is limited. People aren’t as eager to sell. I hear from retired friends, whose children and grandchildren live nearby, that anything they could downsize to is just as proportionally expensive, so why move? And it’s a hassle, in many onte eeper cases, to fix or improve homes, to legalize or safeguard them from longterm elements like flooding, high winds and global warming. You are enabled to avoid nearly everything by the people you hire to protect your interests and get you through the real estate closing process. As I previously wrote, anyone who steps up and advises you of problems is a gem, of precious importance to you. When your real estate agent is honestly telling you there may be problems or no permits, when your attorney notices the search only covers the outline of the building and not interior improvements, like a bathroom not recorded, or if the home inspector sees that the foundation doesn’t look correctly built, you alone have to choose to accept that there may be more to what they are telling you. If you still choose to move forward because you find yourself desperate to accept what little is out there to buy, at least prioritize and put real numbers to the future expenses for such things as paying for architectural plans, permit fees, repair fees, zoning variances, and possible fines. Another things to look for is whether the property survey is usable in the future, or whether you will have to pay, again, to get a new or more descriptive one. In my work as an architect, the survey is the first thing I ask for from a potential client, as a tool, a guide to how big the home can be, how much room the home can cover on the property, how close to front, rear and side property lines it can be. At least a few times a week I see surveys I cannot use, which people paid money for, that have no building dimensions or incomplete strings of dimensions or distances to property lines. Numbers are purposely left off, causing the survey user to take the responsibility away from the surveyor by filling in the missing blanks. This is a future mess, a costly setup for potential legal zoning problems that can easily have been avoided. Good luck! © 2023 Monte Leeper Readers are encouraged to send questions to yourhousedr@aol.com, with “Herald question” in the subject line, or to Herald Homes, 2 Endo Blvd., Garden City, NY 11530, Attn: Monte Leeper, architect.

Answers to todAy’s puzzle

opINIoNS

t is a commonly held frustration of Long Island residents that our governments seem to always be behind the curve, as opposed to ahead of it. Quite regularly we hear the phrase uttered that government “must become proactive rather than reactive.” As a lawmaker, I often hear this complaint when someone is describing a dilapidated municipal building, a deteriorating sports field or a poorly maintained road. The major consequences here — almost always extra construction JoSHUA costs for taxpayers — add to the LAFAZAN affordability crisis we are facing. But where reactive government is becoming very dangerous relates to the remarkable developments in the world of artificial intelligence. Experts are warning that the consequences of government falling too far behind in terms of rules and protections

here will be nothing short of catastrophic. Nassau County must heed this warning. That’s why I’m seeking to propose new legislation called the Artificial Intelligence Privacy Act. Researchers are exploring the viability of making it a misdemeanor offense to clone someone’s voice or image using artificial intelligence without their consent. The bill I propose would affirm our residents’ right to privacy from artificial intelligence tools, and allocate new resources to the Nassau County Police Department to train personnel and collaborate with federal officials to enforce that right. As new AI technology continues to proliferate and grow in sophistication even beyond what humans can comprehend, neither laws nor lawmakers’ understanding of this new landscape have kept up — and we’re already beginning to see the consequences. Take the scammer who uses AI to

clone the voice of a family member so they can fake a hostage situation and extort a ransom. Consider the cyberbully who uses AI to clone the image of an individual and create scenarios that never existed. Or, most egregiously, take those bad actors who exploit AI to create and distribute explicit sexual images of women and children. Data corroborates the cause for concern here. According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, AI tools with malicious intent have created 100,000 computer-generated fake nude images of women without their consent or knowledge. More troubling yet, an AI tool kit was utilized to generate text depicting the sexual exploitation of children. It is long past time for our government to get serious about protecting the privacy of its citizenry. In my estimation, there is no longer time left to wait. Let me be clear: This proposal is not

hat’s why I’m seeking to propose legislation called the Artificial Intelligence Privacy Act.

birthed of hostility toward AI as a whole, or the tech sector — one that contains the cutting-edge new companies that we must attract to our region so that we can secure our tax base and stop Long Island’s exodus of talented young professionals. In fact, we as a county would be wise to welcome pioneering tech companies specializing in AI to solve some of the world’s most pressing problems. If there are health care firms using AI for preventive detection of disease, or environmental firms using AI to enhance stormdetection systems or to bolster conservation efforts, we should absolutely be aggressively courting those companies to set up shop here. However, it is unacceptable that our government currently lacks an adequate understanding of AI and the tools that are needed to best protect residents from its abuses. The Artificial Intelligence Privacy Act I am seeking to propose would represent the first step of many in the right direction, toward a balance between innovation and privacy. Joshua Lafazan represents Nassau County’s 18th Legislative District.

Not everything is broken, late or subpar

ey, I’m trying to strike a positive note here. We Americans have come of age in a nation that strived toward tolerance and equality, a country that has stood as an exemplar of democracy and excellence. We pulled together when times were tough. Then, in successive shock waves, a brutal three-year pandemic, rising political extremism and epidemic gun violence knocked us off kilter. We seem to have forgotten who we are. American competence, credibility RANDI and prestige wobKREISS bled during the Trump presidency. How did we become this country that doesn’t know facts from fake, that raises a raging fraudster to the presidency and then exalts him as a cult figure? That’s the view from 30,000 feet. We are struggling with big, unprecedented political, social and humanitarian problems. I visualize a tug of war, east, west, north and south, with ropes pulling in all directions, drawing and quartering the country. Even here at sea level, post-pandemic life is littered with smaller but devilish

provocations that ruffle our daily lives. All the time I hear people saying that nothing works anymore, people aren’t willing to go to an office, businesses are shuttered because they can’t find employees, booking a flight means dealing with airlines that charge $25 to talk to a real person on a phone. Attempting to get a ticket, arrange a refund or use a credit card is often is exercise in frustration. The plumber sends a trainee; floods ensue. The gas pump doesn’t work. The movie theater is filthy. The pint of ice cream has shrunk. The Wi-Fi is down. The bank has no tellers. The supermarket forces me to ring up my items while the workers, who are about to be replaced, are forced to help me figure out the system. Teacher shortages plague public education. If you fall into the medical rabbit hole, you may find caring doctors and efficient offices, but too often the trend toward corporate medical care leaves patients coming and going through frustrating patient portals. The big pillars in our lives are standing on less stable ground than before the pandemic, and before Donald Trump, with newspapers, public schools, univer-

sities, social media, medicine, Congress, the presidency, and the Supreme Court suffering identity crises. As we move forward, the critical question is, can we find threads of gold amid the dross? Is anything OK? I’m convinced that at ground level, not 30,000 feet, people are kinder to one another. We all know we’ve been through hell the past few years. But folks aren’t quitting on their friends and families. People are actively searching for more meaningful lives and richer relationships with loved ones. News stories shine a light on loneliness; our surgeon general writes about the life-giving effects of personal connections. People listen and reach out. In record time, our scientists created vaccines to fight the coronavirus. Amazon has transformed our shopping experience, mostly for the good. People are spending, and figuring out how to negotiate a changing economy. We are in the midst of an epic battle for our most cherished American values. At 30,000 feet, the cultish masses supporting Trump seem daunting, willfully embracing lies, slyly encouraging racism and antisemitism.

ut the big pillars in our lives are standing on less stable ground than before the pandemic, and before Trump.

On the ground, I’m looking at Ohio, which just voted to support women’s reproductive rights. Candidates supporting inclusion and democracy had a good night on Election Day. I’m looking at the man in the White House, who, with a talented team, is keeping us rolling toward a sounder economy while supporting our unions, wrapping his arms around our allies in Israel and Ukraine and keeping a lid on little fires everywhere. Yes, Biden is old. But Trump is old, and he’s no Joe Biden. The president flew to Israel in its hour of need, embraced Benjamin Netanyahu, a friend in pain, flew home, flew to Maine after a mass shooting. Trump wouldn’t get out of his limo at Normandy because he didn’t want the rain to mess up his hair. Biden’s head and heart trump Trump. Also what works: The MacArthur Foundation announced a $500 million grant to support local newspapers. John Palfrey, the foundation’s president, said, “It’s hard to have a democracy when you don’t have good local news.” And there’s more: Election 2023 worked. Crazy lost traction and sanity prevailed. I still work, too, but my path is different, as is yours. Our footprints leave deeper grooves these days; we carry all that we’ve learned since Pandemic 2020 and the DJT presidency altered our reality. Copyright 2023 Randi Kreiss.

Like fire, AI is a tool that calls for controls

ire — a human invention that ignited a different way of preparing food nearly 400,000 years ago — is a tool that very much remains in need of control, whether it’s the size of flames in a fire pit or the temperature setting on a kitchen stove. That same control is needed when handling the latest, fastest-moving new human tool: artificial intelligence. Known as AI, the computer-oriented system allows people to create words, visual perception, speech recognition, decisionmaking and translation at a speed that outpaces human thought. But like a motor vehicle that needs brakes to bring it to a safe stop, this emerging powerful force, which is revolutionizing industries, improving efficiency, and transforming the way we live and work, needs guardrails so it does not careen off the metaphorical road. If the past 20-plus years of the internet and social media have taught us anything, it is that as much fun as there is in cyberspace, with games and hilarious memes, and the way people can connect in minutes during emergencies or create civic engagement, there are uses such as deepfakes — when a video of a person has been digitally altered to appear different from the original — that are usually employed maliciously to spread false information. This calls for caution and standards. AI holds the potential to shape the future in remarkable ways — from autonomous vehicles to personalized

health care. The systems can analyze massive datasets, identify patterns, and make predictions with unprecedented accuracy. Yet this transformative technology also carries significant risks and ethical concerns. Being trained based on data created by humans, AI can respond just like humans — both the good and the bad. For example, an AI tool can just as easily stereotype and generate content that someone might deem racist. We need responsible oversight. The Biden administration issued an expansive executive order in October establishing standards for AI safety and security within the federal government in an effort to protect privacy, advance equity and civil rights, stand up for consumers and workers, and promote innovation and competition. It also aims for the federal government to act responsibly, and accelerate the hiring of AI professionals to train employees across agencies and departments. The Biden blueprint is not required by social media giants, but the Mark Zuckerbergs and Elon Musks of the world should take these guidelines to heart so as not to continue creating the chaos that has followed every digital advance. Silicon Valley needs to apply the experience and knowledge of the past 20 years of social media and technological advances to this newest tool. The global community needs to follow the White House’s lead to collaborate and create comprehensive regulations and

standards that address the challenges AI poses. Those standards should encompass privacy protection, employment impact assessments, algorithmic transparency, and the development of ethical guidelines for AI research and development. And we should focus on AI usage much closer to home — like in our schools, where we can teach AI skills while also developing curriculum that incorporates this new tool. And for local government, ensuring their hiring and procurement practices are not using biased AIs. Responsible oversight does not mean stifling innovation. It means ensuring that innovation is aligned with the best interests of society. It means promoting AI technologies that are safe, trustworthy and respectful of individual rights and freedoms. To achieve this, governments should establish regulatory bodies while encouraging industrial self-regulation. Regulators should invest in AI education and awareness campaigns, and foster a culture of ethical AI use. The AI community should also adopt a proactive stance, self-policing research and applications to ensure they adhere to these principles. Similar to harnessing the power of fire and aiming to ensure that this dangerous tool does not burn us, responsible AI oversight should include safeguards against its potential harms to help ensure that it is a force for good, and not hazardous to our overall welfare.

letters Israel: doing what we did 80 years ago To the Editor: Peter King’s column last week, “How quickly the world seems ready to turn on Israel,” brought tears to my eyes. The tears are from a Democrat, by the way. I’ve been screaming at the news reports, as well as to anyone who would listen, about how the United States ended and won World War II. Most people don’t have a clue about the fire bombings of Tokyo, which killed 100,000 innocents; Hamburg, 40,000 dead; Dresden, 25,000 dead; and Nuremberg. Not to mention the two atomic bombs, which killed an additional 150,000 men, women and children. These acts in the name of war were terrible acts against humanity, but necessary. Gen. Curtis LeMay, who ordered these fire bombings said, “I suppose if I had lost the war, I would have been tried as a war criminal.” The fact is that we see the United States as the good guys in World War II. The U.S. was seen wearing the white hats and riding the white horses and saving the world from Hitler. The difference in how the U.S. was seen then, and how Israel is seen now, is that the good guys from WWII wore a crucifix around their necks, and now the Israelis wear a Jewish Star. Even when they try to defend themselves, antisemitism rears it ugly head. I believe the U.S. was right in what it did in WWII, and I believe that Israel is right in the way it is trying to defend itself today, 80 years later.

I am extremely proud of my father, my three uncles, my wife’s father and her two uncles, who all fought Hitler in WWII. They were all heroes. MICHAEL THOMAS Sea Cliff

rtificial Intelligence has emerged as a transformative force in the 21st century, reshaping aspects of our lives, including education. In Freeport Public Schools, we recognize the potential of AI to revolutionize teaching and learning. We also understand that there is nothing quite like human consciousness. While AI can be a powerful tool, it can never replace the unique qualities that make us human. Our focus is on preparing students for the future, through courses that introKisHoRE duce them to AI and raise awareKUnCHAM ness of its applications and implications. The 21st century is marked by the rapid evolution of technology, and AI stands as a significant driver of this transformation. To ensure that our students are knowledgeable about the latest developments, one of the most notable initiatives is a new course at Freeport High School called Introduction to Artificial Intelligence. This specialized course equips students with a foundational understanding of AI and concepts including algorithms, machine learning, and neural networks. Students learn the theoretical aspects

of AI, and explore its real-world applications. They critically examine areas of concern, such as algorithmic bias, to develop a holistic perspective on AI’s workings. The course is designed to provide students with a comprehensive grasp of AI’s potential and its ethical considerations. It is also essential to prepare educators to harness the potential of AI. The district’s Technology Department conducts teacher training sessions that delve into the background and implementation options of AI in education. This solid foundation empowers teachers to effectively integrate AI tools into their teaching practices. We are also planning to introduce “working with AI” sessions in upcoming workshops, specifically designed for firstand second-year teachers. These sessions will enable educators to explore the practical applications of AI in the classroom and develop their skills for effective integration. Instructional coaches play a crucial role in illustrating how AI can be used effectively in the classroom. They serve as models, showcasing how AI can help develop innovative lesson plans and rubrics that cater to diverse student needs and learning styles. Their expertise bridges the gap between theory and practice, making AI integration more tangible for

t’s essential to prepare educators, as well, to harness its potential.

LEttERs are Jewish, and I cannot remain silent while the evil of antisemitism is not only raising its ugly head again, but is paraded on city streets around the world, including here in New York. I never thought I would see this happen in my lifetime. As a child, when I saw documentaries about the Holocaust, I was horrified and disgusted. The films and the stories were so shocking and disturbing that they were difficult to watch, but I did so in order to know what evil looks like. I wondered how it was possible for something so sick and depraved to have happened. If there was any consolation, it was the belief that Nazism had been defeated, and that because its lies and perverseness had been exposed, it could never again take hold. Furthermore, the Holocaust had occurred in a far-away country whose economy was in a dismal state, and the citizens had fallen under the spell of a skilled orator who promised prosperity in return for unquestioned obedience. I didn’t think such deception could ever happen again. But since the Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, it has become apparent that the level of hatred toward Jews — not just toward the State of Israel — is more widespread in the United States than I could possibly have imagined, and this is profoundly dis-

our educators. To support our belief in the power of collaboration and innovation, we have established a collaborative space where staff can share their experiences and strategies for utilizing AI in the classroom. This opportunity encourages educators to discover creative ways to implement AI technology. The district is actively exploring computer science resources that promise to revolutionize the teaching of coding. We are leveraging AI-based mentors to support teachers and students. These mentors provide guidance on coding solutions and serve as personal tutors for computer science and related subjects. This personalized support enhances the learning experience, making it more accessible and engaging for students. To ensure a seamless transition, we provide tech tips and informative videos to educators on how AI can be integrated into the platforms the school already subscribes to, including Canva, Quizizz and Google Classroom. This allows for gradual and practical integration of AI technology into the existing educational toolkit. As we embrace the opportunities presented by AI, it’s natural for questions and concerns to arise that we must address. While the technology has the potential to automate certain tasks, it also

turbing. We must take a lesson from what happened in Germany under Hitler, or else history could be repeated. Before the pogroms and the death camps, Jews were depersonalized in books and speeches. They were blamed for the country’s economic problems, and their extermination was presented as the solution. Anyone who spoke up on behalf of their Jewish neighbors was harassed and attacked. Once public opposition was silenced, men and women of conscience could only help by hiding Jews or helping them escape the country. Based on what we’ve seen in the past few weeks, it is painfully apparent that the spirit of Adolf Hitler is alive and well in the minds of many college professors, their students, and even some of our elected officials. Only someone who is deluded, brainwashed or possessed can applaud the massacre of more than 1,000 innocent men, women and children and the taking of more than 200 civilians as hostages that took place on Oct. 7. I firmly believe that those voicing such malevolence are far outnumbered by the decent people in our local communities, but we have a moral imperative not to remain silent. Let’s prove that by turning out for the next pro-Israel rally, by wearing a blue

creates new opportunities for human workers. By equipping our students with AI literacy and skills, we prepare them to excel in careers that will increasingly involve collaboration with AI systems. Artificial Intelligence is not a replacement for human creativity, critical thinking and empathy. It is a tool that can augment our capabilities and help us tackle complex problems. Our goal is to empower our students with the knowledge needed to leverage it to their advantage. By doing so, we create a future where AI is a partner in education and in the workforce, rather than a threat. Freeport Public Schools is dedicated to empowering educators and students with the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence through the Introduction to Artificial Intelligence course, teacher workshops, instructional coaching, collaborative sharing spaces, and the exploration of advanced resources. The district is paving the way for the next generation of learners to thrive in an AI-driven world. As we embrace AI, I remain steadfast in my belief that it can never possess consciousness. Our mission is to prepare our students to harness the power of AI while preserving and enhancing the unique qualities that make us human. The ethical, philosophical and scientific aspects of this topic continue to be areas of exploration and debate. Kishore Kuncham is the superintendent of Freeport Public Schools.
