Veterans receive vital support in Freeport By MoHAMED FARGHAlY mfarghaly@liherald.com

The 39th annual ‘Stand Down’ initiative, held at the Freeport Armory just before Thanksgiving, addressed the unmet needs of veterans within the community.

Soldiers often fight not out of hatred for what’s in front of them, but because of the love for what they left behind. Upon their return from warzones, veterans may find that their needs for happiness and survival aren’t always met. In response to this, “Stand Down,” a long-standing initiative, recently celebrated its 39th occurrence just before Thanksgiving at the Freeport Armory. At the annual event this year on Nov. 21, hundreds of veterans were provided with essential items such as food, shoes, clothes, and personal care items. ConTinueD on pAge 6

Building friendships through the Jones Beach Club By CHARlES SHAW cshaw@liherald.com

For some, it’s just a place to relax for the day, but for thousands of Long Islanders, Jones Beach State Park holds a special place in their hearts. The Jones Beach Club, a Facebook group that has grown to more than 25,000 members strong, has been bringing people together since its creation f ive ye a r s a g o. M e m b e r s include people from all over the island, with many residing in Wantagh, Seaford, Bellmore, Merrick and Freeport. Freeport resident Philip Jimenez, a moderator of the

group, said people from all over the country join to share their memories of the beach. “The group keeps on growing,” Jimenez said. “It hasn’t staggered. Every year, there’s new people, and it’s good seeing that because we keep hearing new stories.” The club is a social group where members interact by sharing memories of the famed Long Island destination. Jimenez said many members no longer live in the community but will reminisce about growing up near Jones Beach. Throughout the thousands of posts on the page, members will discuss the history of the

For Jimenez, sharing these stories has helped build connections with the community. “We get to know each other through talking, friendships and smiles,” Jimenez said of

the club’s members. “It gets us away from daily life.” In addition to posting, members would meet up at Jones Beach to watch the sunset. According to Jimenez, an average of 10 members each day could be found by the Field 10 bait and tackle shop conversing with other members and waiting for the sun to go down.

Jimenez and his wife, Carolyn, both 74, have helped grow the club to where it is now. State Sen. Steve Rhoads honored the couple with a citation on Oct. 8, thanking them for spreading happiness and fostering a community at Jones Beach.

Local leaders unite to bring holiday cheer Community solidarity shines bright Assemblyman Brian Curran in coordination with the Green Acres Mall, the Freeport Housing Authority and Mayor Robert Kennedy, helped deliver turkeys to residents of Freeport on Nov. 22. The collaborative effort aimed to ensure that every member of the community could partake in a heartwarming and delicious Thanksgiving meal amidst challenging economic conditions. In a gesture of community solidarity, the initiative sought to provide Freeport residents with the opportunity to gather and enjoy Thanksgiving with their loved ones, despite the economic hardships faced by many. “I first want to thank Green Acres Mall, the Freeport Housing Authority and Mayor Kennedy for all their cooperation, help and support with this turkey drive,” Curran said. “Green Acres Mall has consistently demonstrated its support for the residents of the 21st District through its charitable donations like the turkey drive. Additionally, the Freeport Housing Authority, under the leadership of Mayor Kennedy, does an outstanding job year after year providing vital support for all Freeport residents.” Residents expressed gratitude for the thoughtful gesture, highlighting the positive impact it has on fostering a sense of community and shared celebration during Thanksgiving. “This truly is the season of giving, so I am so glad my office could participate and help ensure people have an enjoyable Thanksgiving,” Curran said. “This drive was a testament to the strong community we have in the 21st Assembly District, and I look forward to helping those in need even more as the holiday season moves on.” Mayor Kennedy expressed deep appreciation for the

Freeport School’s Thanksgiving Turkey Trot Archer Street School’s annual Thanksgiving Turkey Trot commenced with the resonant combination of turkeys gobbling and festive melodies, setting the stage for a philanthropic gathering led by Principal Paula Lein. The school’s students and staff, adorned in holiday hats and brandishing Thanksgivingthemed flags and posters, embarked on a charitable stroll around their school grounds, joined by esteemed guests including Board of Education President Maria Jordan-Awalom, Board trustee Sonia A. Dixon, Assistant Superintendent for Educational and Administrative Services Dr. Helen Kanellopoulos, and Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction Ms. Glori Engel. Against the backdrop of jovial sounds, the event served as the cornerstone of Archer Street School’s annual fundraising initiative, embodying the spirit of giving that defines the holiday season. Demonstrating a profound understanding of the season’s true meaning, the school community rallied together for a common cause. This year’s chosen beneficiary of their collective generosity was the United Way of Long Island. The culmination of the students’ and staff ’s fundraising endeavors resulted in a substantial contribution of $2,800 to the United Way of Long Island. United Way of Long Island Community Impact Director Biena Depena was present to graciously accept the donation on behalf of the organization. In this heartwarming display of community spirit, Archer Street School exemplified the enduring tradition of giving back during the Thanksgiving season. –Mohamed Farghaly

said the club has always been a group effort. “I think it’s really a tribute to the whole group,” Carolyn Jimenez said of the recognition. The couple’s love of Jones Beach started decades before joining the Facebook group. They met 57 years ago by the Jones Beach tower, and the two have always shared a love for exotic places. Philip Jimenez said they have been fortunate enough to travel the world and visit different beaches, such as in the Caribbean, Hawaii, Miami, Cancun, Ireland, Croatia, Greece and Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. They said they want to visit the beaches along Italy’s Eastern Coast next year. Despite traveling to all these picturesque locations, Philip Jimenez said none compared to Jones Beach. For him, remaining distant from tall buildings, residential areas and bustling boardwalks has made Jones Beach a cozy destination to relax and enjoy the waves and warm weather. “Carolyn and I both have this love of Jones Beach,” he said. “We’ve always been coming here.” Michael Defina, a Florida resident who works as a Jones Beach lifeguard during the summer, founded the Jones Beach Club, but the Jimenezes have worked to build the group into a large, welcoming community. They recently

The meetand-greet takes place four times over the summer, helping to build relationships with the club. “People love coming here, and they

love getting together,” Philip Jimenez said. The club has been growing in numbers through word of mouth. When people apply to join the group, Philip Jiminez will look through their profiles before accepting them. He added that he notices many applicants are already friends with one another. The Jimenezes said they hope to see

the club continue to build connections based on the shared love of Jones Beach. As the club’s motto states: “Come for the sunset, stay for the people.” “I hope people gather and make names on Facebook become a reality,” Philip said of the club members. “That we see each other, shake hands and hug each other.”

Delivering essentials before Thanksgiving Continued from page 1

“I want to express my sincere thanks to the Nassau County Veterans Association for coordinating the fall Veterans Stand Down at the Freeport Armory this past Tuesday,” Kennedy said. “I also want to thank all the vendors that donated winter jackets, gloves, pillows, turkeys, hams, and assorted foods to all my fellow veterans.” The effort was orchestrated by a dedicated team of veteran support groups, with Freeport village mayor Robert Kennedy, a U.S. Navy Vietnam veteran, actively participating in the distribution alongside Nassau County’s Veterans Services Director Ralph Esposito and his team. “As a US Navy veteran myself, I was impressed to see the support offered to hundreds of Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine, and Coast Guard veterans at the armory,” Kennedy said. “I look forward to working with Nassau County for continued Stand Down events to be held at the Freeport Armory in the future.” During times of war, fatigued and injured fighting forces in need of rest and recuperation were withdrawn from the battlefields to a location of peace and protection known as a “stand down.” Troops were able to take care of their personal health, acquire clean uniforms, eat warm meals, receive medical assistance, write and receive letters, and enjoy the company of others in a safe setting at secure base camp sites. Today, the term “stand down” refers to a grassroots, neighborhood-based intervention program created to aid veterans by connecting them with available neighborhood resources. Kennedy acknowledged the pivotal role played by Paul Vista, Esposito’s deputy at the Veterans Services Agency, in bringing the initiative to fruition.

freeport fire department executive director ray maguire, Korean War Veteran Curley Jones of freeport and mayor robert Kennedy at the Stand down event. Kennedy took a moment at the event to extend thanks not only to his fellow Navy veterans but to those who served in the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Coast Guard. He stressed the need for improved medical and housing support for veterans injured during military service. That day, veterans formed a drive-through queue at the armory, where they received goods organized by category as they progressed through the line. Volun-

teers, including those from various veterans’ organizations, played a crucial role in sifting through bags and distributing items, ranging from clothes to Thanksgiving pies and turkeys. The drive-thru event provided veterans a range of necessities totaling around $500 which includes clothing, toiletries, gift cards and food. However, the support goes beyond physical supplies. The Nassau County’s Veterans Services offer ongoing services aimed at assisting veterans in the long term, including help with government programs to reduce senior citizen care costs. Esposito and Vista work tirelessly throughout the year, helping veterans access federal, state, and local benefits. Their services encompass housing, educational assistance, and potential employment opportunities for any veteran in need. The county’s Veterans Services Office, situated in Building Q at 2201 Hempstead Turnpike in East Meadow, operates a daily marketplace where former military members can obtain a week’s worth of food and other necessities. It’s open from 9 a.m. to noon. Esposito urged veterans not to hesitate in seeking help, emphasizing the importance of the Nassau County’s Veterans Services department. “If you need help, stand down and come to us and ask for help,” Esposito said. “Don’t try and do everything yourself. We’re here to help you stand down and get what you need.” An event like this underlines the significance of showing appreciation to those who served, providing the freedom to vote, practice religion, speak freely, and enjoy equal rights. To learn more about veteran services in the county, call the Veterans Service Agency at (516) 572-6565.

MSSN poll shares local vaccine statistics

Herald file photo

Accorrding to a recent poll only 15 percent of area residents have received the updated Covid-19 vaccine. their children have received at least one Covid-19 vaccine since it became available, only 29 percent of the parents polled said they are planning to have 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.” –Kepherd Daniel

Caregiver Agreements mom pays Janice $3,000 per month for care giving services. If mom moves to the nursing home in five years, the payments to Janice are compensation, not gifts. Caregiver Agreements must follow strict rules, so should be drafted by an experienced elder law attorney. The Caregiver Agreement must detail the services to be performed and the obligations of the parties. The payment is based on the going rate of caretaking in that county. Compensation is clearly delineated with hourly and yearly calculations for 24-hour personal care. Janice must actually give the care and document her caretaking duties. Mom must actually need the care, which should be documented with a doctor’s note. To protect family relationships, it’s recommended that all family members agree with the arrangement even if they are not parties to the agreement. Janice’s compensation has tax consequences. She reports the payments as ordinary income on her income tax return and pays income taxes on the amount received. In some cases, mom may be able to deduct the payments as a medical expense.

Family members as caregivers overwhelmingly provide for elderly and disabled loved ones at home. Although a labor of love, taking care of ailing loved ones also has a market value, meaning that caretakers may be paid as a way to protect assets. Through the use of a Caregiver Agreement, also known as a Personal Services Contract, the disabled or elderly person may transfer money to family members as compensation rather than as a gift. Gifts to family members made in the last five years before applying for Medicaid to pay for nursing home costs disqualify the applicant from receiving Medicaid for a certain period of time, known as a “penalty period”. For example, mom depends on daughter Janice for her care. If mom gifts $180,000 to Janice, then goes into a nursing home in the next five years and applies for Medicaid, the gift to Janice will result in about a ten month penalty period. Janice will have to give the $180,000 back to mom to pay nursing home costs during the penalty period, or mom will have to use other resources to pay. Instead, using a Caregiver Agreement,

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, protect vulnerable populations, and contribute to a healthier society.” While 51 percent of respondents said

Eisenhower Park rally in support of Israel UJA – Federation of New York hosts moving rally, panel of speakers By JORDAN VALLONE jvallone@liherald.com

Thousands of people flocked to Eisenhower Park Nov. 12 for the United Jewish Appeal – Federation New York’s Long Island Stands with Israel rally, to express a slew of emotions over the events transpiring in the Middle East. It’s been just over a month since Hamas, a terrorist organization that controls the Gaza strip, began a war with the State of Israel, killing over 1,000 people and taking hundreds hostage. Rabbis and cantors, from dozens of Long Island congregations, including Long Beach, blew shofars, officially signaling the start of the rally. The supporters who packed Eisenhower’s Harry Chapin Theatre held both Israeli flags and signs, saying “We Stand With Israel,” “Free Palestinians From Hamas,” “Bring Them Home” and “Let My People Go,” among several other messages. In the weeks following the initial attack, antisemitism and hateful acts against Jews around the world have been on the rise. The Anti-Defamation League reported that antisemitic incidents worldwide had risen by 400 percent in the weeks following Oct. 7, when compared to the same time period in 2022. Mindy Perlmutter, the executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Long Island thanked County Executive Bruce Blakeman and the Nassau County Parks Department for allowing the rally to go off successfully, and Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder and the Nassau County Police Department for protecting the Jewish community. Perlmutter welcomed Jewish War Veterans Post 652, who presented the color guard, as well as students from the Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns & Rockaway, the North Shore Hebrew Academy and Solomon Schecter, who sang “Hatikvah,” the Israeli national anthem, followed by the “Star Spangled Banner.” Pamela Barnett, chair of UJA Long Island, said it was hard to believe that Jews recently commemorated the 85th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the organized attack against Jews and their businesses, conducted by the Nazi Party in 1938. “It truly feels like history is repeating itself,” Barnett said. Barnett said Israel has the right to defend itself and called on the world to “remember and unequivocally condemn Hamas.” “Fourteen hundred innocent Israelis murdered, over 240 taken hostage, including infants and children, grandparents, entire families, people young and old, burned alive, raped, beheaded, and for no other reason than because they were Jewish,” she said. “We stand unequivocally with Israel who is fighting terror on its border, as every sovereign nation must,” she added. “Israel has the duty, the absolute obliga-

And at the same time, we grieve for the suffering of innocent Palestinian civilians who are also victims of Hamas’ brutality.” She added that the increase in antisemitism must not hinder the community from living “proudly, public Jewish lives.” New York State Senator Chuck Schumer, the Senate majority leader and highest ranking Jewish official ever elected in the U.S., said he is working tirelessly to ensure that Israel is supported. “I was the first elected official to go to Israel after Oct. 7,” he said, “and I got off the plane, and I said to Israel ‘We have your back.’ We feel your pain.” New York Congressman Nick LaLota, who represents the state’s first congressional district, said a ceasefire should

not be considered. “A ceasefire would only give our common enemies more time to regroup, to reattack,” he said. “No American, no other friend of Israel throughout the world should promote the notion of a ceasefire. We must eradicate the terrorists right away.” Todd Richman, the UJA’s co-chair of Long Island Global Jewish Affairs, encouraged the crowd to not only donate to the UJA’s Israel emergency funds, but to lobby extensively. “Go to House.gov, call the U.S. Capitol switchboard — just Google it — and make your voices heard on Capitol Hill,” Richman said. “For all of you that have children or grandchildren on college campuses, make sure they do the same thing. Because most of the representatives on those college campuses are the

ones that are getting these calls, and they listen. Members of Congress listen to their constituents.” Rabbi Ya’akov Trump of Young Israel of Lawrence Cedarhurst said he just returned from Israel. “To me, the most painful experience in the last week was visiting the Tel Aviv center for Bring Them Back Now, for the hostages,” he said. “When you meet a family of somebody who has somebody in Gaza right now, the pain is so tangible, you can almost feel it in the room.” The support of the hostages was abundantly clear. Each speaker on stage stood at a podium, with over 200 chairs behind them — each featuring the face of someone held hostage, alongside a Teddy Bear. “It is so inspiring to see the overwhelming generosity of so many people supporting UJA’s critical work in Israel, over $130 million to date,” Barnett said. “And it’s so inspiring to see how our community continues to show up like we are today in support of the hostages, because we refuse to be silent. “I am a mother and have children the same ages as our soldiers, and many of our hostages,” she added. “I go to sleep every night praying for our soldiers and hostages and wake up every morning praying for them.”

The past decades have included world tours, concerts at the White House and the Olympics and numerous critically acclaimed albums including their Emmy Award-winning special, “An Irish Homecoming,” which was broadcast on PBS.

On exhibit Nassau County Museum of Art’s latest exhibition, “Our Gilded Age,” examines the appearances and the realities of an era that mirrors our own in many ways. Like the nation’s economy, American art and literature flourished during the Gilded Age. It was an exuberant age of excess with its own secret flaws, including widespread fraud. The art of John Singer Sargent, Childe Hassam, Louis Comfort Tiffany and others adorned palatial residences designed by Stanford White and Ogden Codman Jr., architect of the museum’s own quintessential Gilded Age mansion. Drawing heavily upon the local literary history of Long Island, including William Cullen Bryant, Mark Twain (who named the Gilded Age), Walt Whitman, Edith Wharton and others, the exhibition will include paintings, fashion, decorative arts including period silver and china, photographs, manuscripts, first editions and other historic memorabilia. The “Upstairs, Downstairs” approach to the life of a country house brings to life not only the storied conspicuous consumption for which the Gilded Age was infamous, but also the real lives of these many individuals who maintained the palatial estates where that lifestyle was enjoyed. On view through March 10. Nassau County Museum of Art, 1 Museum Dr., Roslyn Harbor. (516) 484-9337 or NassauMuseum.org.

A Motown Christmas

Bloods gang member convicted Found guilty in Freeport killing A member of the notorious Bloods gang, Floyd McNeil, also known as DOT and Diddy DOT, has been found guilty by a jury for the murder of a 21-year-old man and the attempted murder of another individual in November 2020, according to Nassau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly. McNeil, 27, hailing from Hempstead, was convicted after a trial presided over by Judge Howard Sturim. The charges include Murder in the Second Degree, Attempted Murder in the Second Degree, Attempted Assault in the First Degree, and two counts of Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second Degree. The trial, which commenced on November 14, 2023, concluded after approximately two days of jury deliberation. McNeil is scheduled for sentencing on January 31, facing a potential maximum sentence of 65 years to life in prison. This is not McNeil’s first encounter with the justice system. In June 2022, he was convicted of Attempted Murder in the Second Degree, Assault in the First Degree, Criminal Use of a Firearm, and two counts of Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second Degree for a shooting incident in Hempstead in Sep-

loyd McNeil is an exceptionally dangerous gang member who has left a trail of destruction in Hempstead and Freeport.

Anne T. Donnelly Nassau County District Attorney tember 2019. He is currently serving a 25-year sentence for those charges. “Floyd McNeil is an exceptionally dangerous gang member who has left a trail of destruction in Hempstead and Freeport,” DA Donnelly said. “This defendant senselessly murdered a 21-year-old man, and nearly killed another, for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Our communities are undoubtedly safer now that McNeil has been found guilty of murder by a jury of his peers. Our condolences are with the family of Taffarie Haughton and everyone else impacted by this defendant’s violence. We thank the Nassau County Police Department and the Eastern District of New York for their assistance in this prosecution.”

NOW LEASING

The charges against McNeil stem from an incident on November 28, 2020, when 21-year-old Taffarie Haughton and another 19-year-old victim were at Martin Luther King Jr. Park in Freeport. The victims were followed into a park bathroom by several Bloods gang members attending a gang meeting. When they tried to leave, the exit was blocked by gang members, including McNeil, who, along with co-defendant Christopher Anderson, opened fire on the victims. Haughton was fatally struck twice, in the chest and left foot, while the other victim was hit in the shoulder. Haughton succumbed to his injuries at Nassau University Medical Center. Senior Litigation Counsel Michelle Lewisohn of the Homicide Bureau is prosecuting the case. McNeil is represented by Don Rollock, Esq. Anderson, McNeil’s co-defendant, previously pleaded guilty to Murder in the Second Degree and Attempted Murder in the Second Degree, receiving a sentence of 22 years to life in prison in August 2023. The Nassau County Police Department’s Homicide Squad arrested both individuals on June 13, 2022.

After decades of giving, these eight upstanding citizens were recognized for their diverse acts of community service. On Nov. 5, Assemblyman Brian Curran honored these women who have dedicated themselves to and prioritized the bettering of their communities. Each woman’s work has created positive changes in the world through their passion and determination to serve others. “The one thing that all eight of these women have in common is their love and devotion to their community and their neighbors,” Curran said. “Whether it is their contributions to public safety, in local government, drug prevention, boy scouting, or children with disabilities or allergies, these eight honorees have made the conscious decision to bring their expertise and efforts to better their community.” Cathy Vodopivec of Freeport has been recognized for her community service between her work at the church and her work in scouting. Despite her extensive list of volunteerism, Vodopivec was not expecting this honor. “This was something I grew up with; giving back to your community by doing service and making people happy,” Vodopivec said. “It’s just the way I was brought up.” Following the involvement with her son’s boy scout troop, Vodopivec became an active scouting leader in 2012, transitioning from the troop mother who ensured proper supervision to an upstanding and involved individual. “Scouting has so much to offer. Scouting is alive and well, and we not only need volunteers, but we need people to bring their kids to learn and share,” Vodopivec said. “We want to educate and bring up the leaders for tomorrow.” For the past 11 years, Vodopivec has been dedicating herself to varying councils, committees, and programs. Vodopivec maintains a plethora of responsibilities when it comes to bettering her community and those within. She is a member of various scouting committees including the Special Needs Scouting Committee for the Theodore Roosevelt Council, the diocesan Catholic Committee on Scouting for Rockville Centre, the committee for Troop 24 in Baldwin, and the Sagamore Service unit, which is a group of adults that contribute service to the Theodore Roosevelt Council . Vodopivec also volunteers at summer Canoe Races for ACDS, Adult Children with Down Syndrome 5 Plus Sports Program. In addition, Vodopivec takes on numerous authoritative roles as well, such as the Merit Badge Counselor and Religious Emblems Coordinator for all of Scouting, the Committee Chair and Adult Leader for Cub Scouts Pack 824, and the Charter Organization Representative and Committee Chair for Sea Scout Ship 18.

As a prominent leader, Vodopivec is able to not only connect with those she’s helping but takes immense pride in their success. “Seeing the young men and women grow, achieve, and just try something new is incredibly fulfilling,” Vodopivec said. “To see the smile on their faces when they accomplish something they didn’t think they could do, especially with the special needs group where they’re always stigmatized as ‘oh you can’t do this,’ or ‘you’ll never amount,’ is just amazing.” Drawing inspiration and motivation from students, especially those with special needs, pushes Vodopivec to be the best version of herself. When speaking of those she teaches, in both scouting and classroom settings, Vodopivec lauded the determination and resilience of her learners. “It’s incredible to see the overall accomplishments and watch as they go to the next level, and to look at the fact that they did it on their own without anybody else,” Vodopivec said. “Especially with the special needs students and scouts, the one thing I’ve learned is that the only thing keeping me from doing something is myself.” Though all aspects of her work requires a leadership and teaching role, Vodopivec maintains an open mind when it comes to learning from the people she works with. Whether it be children or adults in scouting or in teaching, Vodopivec’s main goal is to learn as much from her students as she can. “It’s important to learn from them because they have a lot to offer,” Vodopivec said. “They can teach you so much about the world that you don’t see as an adult because, as an adult, you become fixed in your ways. And they open you up to all new perspectives.” Additionally, Vodopivec emphasized the importance of teaching in all aspects of life, not solely in the classroom. When asked what inspires her to continue her leadership roles, Vodopivec turned the spotlight to prioritizing a child’s learning experience. “I see with the kids that they’re so hungry for knowledge, and it’s important for people to give them the time to teach them something,” Vodopivec said. “It doesn’t have to be in a textbook, but just teach them something or share an experience.” Speaking on the eagerness of students to learn and absorb knowledge, Vodopivec noted that her main source of inspiration comes from their enthusiasm, energy, and joy. “If I can make a difference in one individual and give them an opportunity that they wouldn’t have had, then my day is complete,” Vodopivec said. Through over a decade of dedicated service, Vodopivec has significantly enhanced the lives of those she has worked alongside and taught, making Long Island a more welcoming place for people of all walks of life.

A. About 10 years ago, they started with the explanation that whole house plans were needed, because it was suspected that the house might have been used by a previous owner for more than one family, and the municipality wanted to see current conditions to compare with original plans to see if changes need to be put on record. Then it became onte eeper required that plans needed to be provided, because the house either wasn’t on record, if it was built before 1930, before records were kept, or the addition required a zoning variance because it might increase the allowable area of the home’s footprint on the lot. Any way you examine the issues, the architect you first interviewed was correct, but it wasn’t what you wanted to hear. Just to get the job, the second person, not even a qualified professional, gave you a low-ball figure and downplayed what was needed. It doesn’t surprise me to hear about your predicament, because this is a constant problem. The most difficult part is that your municipality is pretty capable of notifying you about what a great job they’re doing, but not really giving you alerts about the fact that you may want to check your house records to be sure that you won’t feel ambushed when you get a violation notice for your shed or fence. They could explain that you need to keep street corners clear of taller fences and foliage that can cause car accidents, or that your finished basement may someday delay your house sale while you scramble for a permit. The reason I started writing this column is because almost nobody else figured out that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” and that people need to know how to avoid problems. Instead, neither the downward spiral of surprising people nor the equally worse problem of people avoiding the costly inevitable dilemma produces a better outcome. Good luck.

Making an old home newer

Q. I’ve been living in my house for 41 years, and just wanted to add a bathroom at the back, next to my den, for my elderly father. It’s just a bathroom, but when I met with an architect, he told me he had to do plans for the whole house. I thought that his fee and the amount of work were ridiculous just for a bathroom, so I got a draftsman for one-third the cost. It’s now five years later, I still have no permit, and the plans were rejected because the reviewer wants to see more information, including house plans. I should have listened to the architect because the draftsman, it turns out, won’t answer phone calls, and he ended up paying another architect to seal the plans, which were inadequate, anyway. So I’m out the money for bad plans and still need the bathroom, since my father can’t use stairs. Why would the town need plans for the whole house? It makes no sense.

opinions

he older you get, the more you think about the times when things were simple and pleasurable. That especially applies to my years in school, when my only cares were homework, lunch, recess and our next vacation. I fondly remember the milk and a graham cracker at 3 p.m., and field trips to the zoo or a museum. I thought about those heady days while watching the latest session of the House of Representatives. The JERRY boys and girls of KREMER the House were just out on what they call recess. Over the past 11 months they have worked so hard, and deserved a rest. They have funded the federal government until early January, and when they get back from their trips to Israel and the Ukraine, they will once again try to figure out how to further postpone any action on those challenges. Looking back on 2023, there are so many parallels between current Washington politics and my school days. In elementary school, we used to

bring home lots of things to show off to our proud parents. Sometimes it was a crayon drawing or a clay model. In middle school it was something we made in shop class. So what did the House bring home to the taxpayers? What bills did they pass? Was there any legislation that will improve your day-to-day quality of life? Did they come up with a plan to reduce the price of a dozen eggs? Did they call over to the Senate and say, “Let’s make a deal”? As a child, I met quite a few schoolyard bullies. Luckily, I always ran faster than they did. Two weeks ago, Tennessee Congressman Tom Burchett complained that former Speaker Kevin McCarthy elbowed him in the kidney. McCarthy told the press that there are a lot of tight spaces in the House corridors, and that he didn’t elbow anybody. As I got older, sometimes I’d run into some kid with a short fuse who was looking for a fight. Just before recess time in D.C., Sen. Markwayne Mullin asked Teamsters President Sean O’Brien if he wanted to mix it up at a committee hearing, and the chair, Bernie Sanders, had to defuse the situ-

ation. In school, the biggest threat a teacher could make was that you’d be kept after class, or that classes wouldn’t end until certain projects were completed. In Washington, there is no scarier edict than one that members might have to work on Thanksgiving or some other holiday. After all, vacation plans have been finalized, or some educational trip to a far-off destination — sometimes a taxpayerfunded junket — would have to be canceled. The Republican House is in danger of losing its majority in next year’s election unless it can start acting like a cohesive body on issues that matter. The 30-member Freedom Caucus kicked McCarthy out of the speakership, and will only support the new speaker, Mike Johnson, so long as they get some of their wish list. The problem is, that wish list could cost them their majority next November. To show that McCarthy’s ouster was just a function of personal dislike, Johnson worked out a budget extension with Democratic votes. Recognizing that a government shutdown was imminent, the Freedom Caucus gave

here are so many parallels between Washington politics and my school days.

him a one-time pass. But going forward, the caucus could just as easily oust Johnson, so this small group of representatives can keep him on a short leash. And there are some members whom Johnson can’t muzzle forever. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, a consistent bomb thrower, led an effort to impeach Alejandro Mayorkas, the secretary of homeland security, but the move was shut down. She will keep coming back, even though her party doesn’t want the process to go forward without a case strong enough for a vote to pass. All my life, I’ve treated politics as an important cause that should be handled with the greatest dignity and respect for the Constitution. I have supported and practiced bipartisanship. The politics of Washington must not be demeaned by a bunch of boys and girls who act like they’re still in elementary school. We are entitled to what the Founding Fathers envisioned, and nothing less. Jerry Kremer was an Assemblyman for 23 years, and chaired the Assembly’s Ways and Means Committee for 12 years. He now heads Empire Government Strategies, a business development and legislative strategy firm. Comments about this column? jkremer@liherald.com.

N.Y. needs to boost financial education in our schools

oung people in New York have a great knowledge of many subjects, but they have much to learn about personal

finance. Many states have already incorporated financial education into the school curriculum, with some starting lessons as early as kindergarten. Twenty states, including Ohio, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Utah and West Virginia, require that stutake a perTHoMAs p. dents sonal finance DinApoLi class to graduate high school. New York should get with the program. I issued an executive order on financial literacy in 2019, directing my office to identify ways to enhance New York residents’ personal finance knowledge and understanding of issues such as mortgages, student loans and credit card debt. But we should also be focusing on financial

literacy for the next generation, to ensure that young people have the skills to effectively manage their finances and avoid falling into the trap of spiraling debt. According to a National Endowment for Financial Education 2022 report, 80 percent of those surveyed stated they wished they had been required to take a personal finance class in school. Also, a study by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, a nonprofit corporation regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, found that respondents with higher financial literacy were more likely to make financial ends meet than people with lower financial know-how. During last year’s legislative session in Albany, eight bills were introduced to include financial education in schools starting as early as pre-K. One bill called for the creation of a financial literacy fund, which would provide funding for grants or pro-

grams to establish financial literacy programs, specifically targeting atrisk populations. These bills merit further discussion. In September 2022, the state education department convened a Blue Ribbon Commission charged with examining the state’s high school graduation measures. The commission’s recommendations to the Board of Regents, related to ensuring educational excellence and equity for New York’s diverse student body, are expected to be released soon. Several Board of Regents members have voiced support for adding personal finance as a requirement to obtain a high school diploma. I’m encouraged that the issue of personal finance was included in this important discussion, and hope that it will be given serious consideration. Adding financial education to the state’s curriculum can be successfully implemented, as evidenced by the fact that some of our schools already offering a

ow about adding personal finance as a requirement to obtain a high school diploma?

personal finance class. For example, Mott Hall V, a South Bronx high school, is offering personal finance, taught in conjunction with a required economics course. Students learn theory, and also follow the stock market in real time, research corporate earnings and select stocks. They appreciate the real-world lessons that can be applied in the future. The importance of learning personal finance can’t be underestimated, and I’m committed to helping New Yorkers strengthen their financial knowledge and understanding. The stresses associated with financial difficulties can adversely affect your physical and mental health and hurt family members as well. Education in financial literacy can be an important step toward accessing a better job, improving your quality of life, and providing peace of mind. Let’s make financial acumen part of our kids’ educations. Thomas DiNapoli is the New York state comptroller. A version of this column originally appeared in amNew York.

Staying safe: The county’s 13-second challenge

ow long is 13 seconds? If you ask Google, it’s long enough to run 100 meters. Send a text message. Make a paper airplane. Or even look up on Google what you can do in 13 seconds. In Nassau County, however, it’s also the amount of time — on average — between car crashes. If you stopped to think about that, you might have realized it took you longer than 13 seconds. It’s just not a lot of time. That’s what 39,128 car crashes look like, according to statistics compiled last year by the Institute for Traffic Safety Management & Research. A good portion of them were minor. But twice a day, there is a serious accident right here in our own backyard, and at least once a week, someone dies as a result. But 13 seconds is important, because it reminds us that traffic accidents aren’t rare, and they can happen to anybody at any time. We think about safety when it’s raining or snowing, or when it’s dark. But accidents also happen in good weather, in bright sunshine. That’s why vigilance is key. No matter how good a driver we think we are, 1 in 35 people In Nassau County can expect to be involved in a car accident at some point in any given year. And we’re just talking about crashes

that involve only cars. When you mix in pedestrians, bicycles and motorcycles, the numbers become even more troubling. Like the fact that 856 people were hit by vehicles in Nassau County last year. That’s more than two people every day. More than 95 percent of them were injured, and 22 died. More than 400 bicyclists were hit, according to the traffic safety institute, with 93 percent of them suffering injuries, and two people dying. And 328 motorcycles crashed in Nassau County last year, injuring more than 225 riders and killing 14. Believe it or not, despite the fact that so many people travel during the holiday season and the potential for heavy winter weather, this isn’t the time of year when most accidents happen. That’s actually in the summer, particularly around the Fourth of July. But becoming a statistic is becoming a statistic, no matter what time of year it is. And no one wants to remember their holiday as a statistic, or know someone who becomes one. The American Red Cross offers some great tips for safe driving — something every one of us should heed. Primarily to buckle up, slow down, and don’t drive impaired. But also to be well-rested and alert. That means giving your full atten-

tion to the road, and avoiding distractions like cellphones. Also, be sure to observe speed limits — driving too fast, or even too slow, can increase the chances of being in a collision. If you’re taking a long trip, make frequent stops. Rotate drivers if you can. But no matter what, if you’re too tired to drive, stop and get some rest. This might not be easy for all of us, but be respectful of other motorists, and follow the rules of the road. But don’t follow other cars too closely. If you plan to drink, designate someone to drive who isn’t drinking. Before you head out, clean your headlights, taillights, signal lights and windows to help you see — especially at night. And as dusk approaches, turn on your headlights. And anytime your windshield wipers are moving, your headlights should be on. If you have car trouble, pull off the road as far as possible. And always be alert about any cars moving near you — or where they could be moving near you. No matter how you look at it, 13 seconds isn’t a lot of time. Yet it’s long enough to stop a car dead in its tracks in Nassau County. This holiday season, don’t be a statistic. Stay safe on the roads.

Letters A letter writer proves that being Jewish doesn’t matter To the Editor: I’d like to express my thanks to reader Charles Holster for his eloquent, compassionate letter regarding the brazen, brutal, unprovoked attack on Israel by Hamas, and the surge of antisemitism in this country and elsewhere (“We cannot remain silent in the face of evil,” Nov. 16-22). He proves that one does not need to be Jewish to speak out against antisemitism or the unfortunate evil in this world. I am a Jewish American who was very frightened by the events of Oct. 7. I was born in this country, as were my parents. My grandparents came here from Russia in the early 1900s to escape the pogroms, which were sanctioned to kill anyone who was Jewish. They felt relieved to be in this country of freedom. They subsequently heard about what happened to the Jews years later in Nazi Germany and elsewhere in Europe. It was hard to believe, but once again, they felt relieved that they were in the USA, a country where Jews could be safe. Growing up in New York City, I didn’t feel the personal attacks of antisemitism until I visited Salt Lake City while on a teen trip. While I’d heard about antisemitism, it was worse face to face. Then came the horrors of Oct 7. The actions by

Hamas were bad enough, but the support the terrorists received in social media, even as they held on to hostages, made me feel unsafe in my own country. Nazi Germany didn’t start the Holocaust with its gas chambers. It started the war against the Jews (and other minorities) with words. People did not speak up enough

then, but fortunately, Mr. Holster and others have been speaking up lately in the press and at the rallies. Let us all remember that if we fail to speak up for others, there will be nobody left to speak up for us. PAM SINGER Malverne

hat does it mean to be antisemitic? Can Jews do better in fighting against it? This is a complex issue, and a difficult one. It requires looking outside and inside our community. Eradicating hate is a group effort. Hillel would say, “If I am not for me, who will be for me? And when I am for myself alone, what am I? And if not now, then when?” Let’s begin in Germany, right before Hitler was appointed chancellor in 1933. People liked his charisma and his sHai direct way of Jews BeLooseskY speaking. even felt he was good for Germany’s growth economically. And yet, from the beginning, Hitler’s speeches showed signs of hate. Why did many Jews overlook those signs? Why did so many non-Jews who loved their Jewish neighbors dismiss those signs? Was it for personal gain, or simply a false sense of security? Of course, no one ever could have imagined the atrocities that occurred. The blame lies directly in the hands of Hitler and those who participated. What’s important, though, is that we understand how Hitler gained his power.

Jews are not to blame, but what would have happened if German Jews had taken the hate speech seriously? What if they had listened to the early warnings? We must be cognizant of why we, as Jews, tolerated the hate talk. Excused it. Defended it. And supported Hitler. We must be honest with ourselves. Are we still doing it today? And if so, why? I feel strongly that it’s important to sweat the small stuff. This means to take even the seemingly smallest of antisemitic comments seriously. We must learn to recognize hate speech. We must make sure we are represented, and never avoid taking a moment to educate. I’ve been asked if I feel the propaganda about Israel is rooted in antisemitism. It’s a great question, and one that doesn’t have a simple answer. Israel isn’t perfect. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has a lot to answer for when it comes to the terrorist attacks. The government failed our people. Regardless, I often wonder whether the manner in which Israel is represented around the world is anti-Israel, or actually anti-Jewish. Here is a great question I recently

ate comes from a place of fear and a lack of knowledge. It’s about ignorance.

Letters King calls out antisemitism To the Editor: Thanks to Peter King for his excellently written column, “How quickly the world seems ready to turn on Israel,” in the Nov. 9-15 issue. It directly addressed the double standard that has infiltrated segments of our country, and beyond, in judging Israel. The dramatic rise of antisemitism, which commenced even before Israel’s response to the heinous Oct. 7 attack, is appalling. This lifelong registered Democrat believes King’s presence in Congress is missed. STEvE WERBEL Merrick

Local businesses need to support local patrons, too To the Editor: The Herald rightfully is supportive of local businesses (Editorial, “Small businesses needs us, and we need them,” Nov. 9-15), and we all agree that these businesses are our country’s economic

heard: What is the difference between antisemitism and racism, transphobia, homophobia and all other forms of hate? Did you know the source of hate is the same no matter whom it is directed at? Hate comes from a place of fear and a lack of knowledge. It’s about (chosen) ignorance and not wanting to learn. It’s about superiority and control. It’s about power. And so I ask, why is hate speech allowed and tolerated in so many of our offices, schools, and most of all by our public figures, including our politicians? Why are we allowing it? What role do we play when we allow it? Early Shabbat morning on Oct. 7, Israelis experienced a side of antisemitism that we hadn’t seen for generations. Terrorists attacked Israeli citizens in their homes, and at a concert for young people. They killed more than 1,000 people in the most heinous, barbaric ways. They tortured parents in front of children, and children in front of parents. As Israelis begged for their lives, the terrorists laughed, thanked their god, and rejoiced as they kept murdering. This type of antisemitism is one of the most frightening. It’s calculated. It is without mercy or value to life. I am heartbroken by the rise of anti-

semitism I am seeing all over the United States. I’ve heard misinformation and a lack of knowledge of how a terrorist group functions and thinks. I’ve heard so little acknowledgement of what was done to the Israelis by Hamas and the justified retaliation. Instead, I’m hearing hatred toward Israel. We must understand that it can be hard to decipher whether the hatred toward Israel means also to all Jews. Even so, not recognizing the mass murders done to the Israelis by Hamas — and, instead, blaming Israel — is rooted in antisemitism. Let’s call it what it is. The Holocaust did not begin at the gas chambers. It started long before, with hate speech. We must be vigilant and proactive the very second hate is spoken. We must do a better job of uniting with others who are targeted — particularly now, as the pain of antisemitism is real. As our oppressors try to push us down, we have the power in numbers to lift one another up. This gives me hope. We stand on the shoulders of generations of Jews who did not give up for us to be here today. We owe it to them — and the next generation — to do our part, and to do a better job. We must continue to shine our light to illuminate the path toward healing. Jeshayahu “Shai” Beloosesky is the rabbi at Temple Avodah in Oceanside.

lifeline. Since the pandemic, however, many, if not all, small businesses are now charging back to their customers the credit card fees they have been paying since the inception of the use of credit cards. We have all been hit hard by inflation, and all businesses have raised prices to counter the run-away inflation, and now have added credit card fees on top of rising prices. What is interesting, and what I feel is a slap in the face to us consumers trying to support our local businesses, is the amount the local businesses are charging, an average of 3.5 percent. In reality, as of September, average total credit card processing fees were 2.23 percent. So why are local merchants charging more than they’re being charged by the banks? Additionally, debit card fees are even less than credit card fees. I feel a lot of the local businesses are taking advantage of the current situation, since they have been paying these fees for decades. Local businesses need to rethink these charges, because the chain stores and chain restaurants aren’t charging these fees at all. Please give your loyal customers a break!
