“From Your Heart to Our Seniors” program
Nassau County Legislature Deputy Minority Leader Arnold W. Drucker (D – Plainview) helped deliver Valentines messages made by local students to senior citizens. Nassau County Legislature Deputy Minority Leader Arnold W. Drucker (D – Plainview) joined forces with District 16 students of all ages to help hundreds of local seniors celebrate Valentines Day. The third annual “From Your Heart to Our Seniors” project once again harnessed
the artistic and creative talents of local youngsters in a big way. Deputy Minority Leader Drucker’s office received hundreds of handmade cards from Plainview and Jericho schools, which were later given out during Valentines Day breakfasts at The Residences at Plainview and Plainview-Old
Bethpage Senior Citizen Club. “This Valentine’s Day, our local army of crafty Cupids outdid themselves with the beautiful and uplifting greetings that put smiles on seniors’ faces wherever I had the privilege of delivering them,” Deputy Minority Leader Drucker.

Road renamed for victim of Hamas massacre The full Nassau County Legislature on Monday, Feb. 24 unanimously approved a resolution sponsored by Nassau County Legislature Deputy Minority Leader Arnold W. Drucker (D – Plainview) to rename a portion of Manetto Hill Road “Captain Omer Neutra Way” in honor of the Plainview native who was murdered by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7, 2023. The roadway adjoins the Mid Island Y JCC – a major community hub for Nassau’s Jewish community and residents of the greater Plainview area. “Omer Neutra’s decision to enlist in the IDF was a powerful demonstration of his commitment to the security of Israel, the safety and welfare of Jewish people around the world, and pride in his personal Jewish identity,” Deputy Minority Leader Drucker said. “By enshrining this public tribute in the heart of Plainview, we are sending a clear message to the world that the victims of the Oct. 7 massacre will never be forgotten. As we remain unwavering in our demand for the return of every last hostage that is being held captive by Hamas terrorists, I thank my colleagues for their support and extend my heartfelt admiration to the Neutra family
for the tremendous courage and resolve they continue to demonstrate in the face of an unthinkable tragedy.” Omer Maxim Neutra was a native of Plainview who, after spending a gap year in Israel in 2020, delayed his plans to attend college at Binghamton University to enlist in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). During his service as a tank platoon commander on October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists launched a brutal assault upon the Israeli homeland – the first of its kind in decades. Neutra was one of the 1,139 people killed during the attack and lost his life during a battle in the vicinity of Nir Oz, a small kibbutz located near Gaza in Southern Israel that was one of the communities most severely impacted by the Hamas terrorist invasion. His senseless murder sent shockwaves of devastation throughout the world and especially the Plainview community where he grew up and established deep and lasting familial roots. Following the vote, Omer’s parents, Ronen and Orna Neutra, expressed gratitude for the Legislature’s unanimous support for a decision that will forever enshrine their son’s memory in the public square.
