Country music and crime prevention in Cedarhurst
Hewlett resident honored by Judy Griffin page 3
The Village of Cedarhurst combined live entertainment with community safety during its Summer Concert Series on Aug. 4 at Andrew J. Parise Park. Residents gathered for “A Night of Country Music,” featuring a performance by the County Line Band, while also taking part in National Night Out Against Crime.
The annual event gave families an opportunity to meet local first responders, strengthen neighborhood relationships and promote crime prevention in a relaxed setting. Didi Maxx served as the evening’s emcee, keeping the crowd engaged throughout the festivities. The event was made possible through the support
of sponsors Rason Materials, Russo Development Enterprises, Bolla Market, 202 Convenience Store, Michaels Electric Supply and the Five Towns Kiwanis Club.

LY&CC members honored for life-saving actions mberman@liherald.com
When a Lawrence Yacht and Country Club member suffered a heart attack on the golf course July 24, fellow members Greg Jackman and Karyn Edelstein did not hesitate to respond. Jackman, an East Rockaway resident and FDNY battalion chief for 25 years, and Edelstein immediately began performing CPR and using an automated external defibrillator. Jackman was playing the first hole when he noticed a commotion near the first green, close to the trees and in a shaded area. As the golf cart moved closer, Jackman realized someone was in serious trouble. “I said, somebody’s in trouble. They need help,” he said. “So, I ran off the cart. I ran myself over there and said, ‘Can I help?’” Edelstein was already assisting and told Jackman she needed his help. “Both of us just, you know, what we were trained to do, it just kicks in second nature,” he said. The two checked the man and found that he had no pulse and was not breathing. Jackman said the man’s lips had begun turning blue. “There was no choice but to start CPR,” he said. Edelstein began rescue breathing while Jackman took responsibility for chest compressions. The two performed two-person CPR as other members arrived with an AED.

I really didn’t have time to think about it.” The outcome made the effort particularly meaningful. Jackman said he later learned that the man, whom he identified as Mark, had been taken off a ventilator and was
expected to recover. “It just makes me feel great,” Jackman said. “Honestly, at work, we’ve done this so many times, and if you’re not there right away, they really say time is of the essence.” Despite his extensive experience responding to emergencies as a firefighter, Jackman said he does not view himself as the only person who could have stepped in. “If it wasn’t me and any of the other guys that were here that are other firemen, they would have done the same thing,” he said. Ultimately, Jackman said he was simply grateful that he happened to be nearby when the emergency occurred. “I’m just thankful that he has another chance at life,” he said. “I’m just glad I was there.” The Village of Lawrence recently recognized the two members for their life-saving actions, with Mayor Samuel Nahmias presenting Jackman and Edelstein with proclamations on behalf of the village. “We’re very grateful that we have people here at the club that are dedicated, that can actually act very quickly, and then have the background to save someone’s life,” Nahmias said. Nahmias said the quick response demonstrated the value of having people in the community with the training and experience to act during a life-threatening emergency. “You save one life, you save a world,” he added. “People have kids, people have family, people have siblings. You’re saving an entire world when you save one life.”

Residents urge Cedarhurst to put the brakes on speeders By MELISSA BERMAN Residents voiced growing concerns about speeding traffic and pedestrian safety throughout the Village of Cedarhurst during the Board of Trustees meeting on Aug. 3, urging officials to install speed bumps and take stronger enforcement measures on residential streets. Several longtime residents described speeding vehicles, drivers ignoring stop signs and dangerous cut-through traffic as persistent problems they believe have worsened in recent years. Village officials acknowledged the concerns but said speed bumps are not a practical solution because of the community’s street design and operational challenges. Sarah Kaplan told trustees that she fears for the safety of her four children every time they cross the street near her home. “There are cars that just speed out of the gas station,” Kaplan said. “It’s a cutthrough street. The cars just speed down and up the block.” Kaplan said two of her children regularly cross the street, and she watches them closely whenever they play outside. “Every time they go outside, I’m afraid every single time,” she said. “Every time I have to cross the street, I run outside to make sure they’re crossing correctly because those cars just keep going back and forth, and they speed.”
Melissa Berman/Herald
Residents voiced growing concerns about speeding traffic and pedestrian safety throughout the Village of Cedarhurst during the Board of Trustees meeting on Aug. 3. Kaplan said she believes speed bumps may be the only effective solution. Resident Roz Liebenthal, who said she has lived in Cedarhurst for more than 31 years, echoed those concerns, saying drivers routinely fail to stop at stop signs, particularly along Arlington Road. “I spoke to you about this many years ago, and nothing’s changed,” Liebenthal said. She suggested the village consider installing traffic enforcement cameras at stop signs and launching pedestrian safety education campaigns for children and families. Liebenthal also expressed frustration over pedestrians walking in road-
ways instead of on sidewalks, saying it creates additional hazards for motorists and walkers alike. “I don’t allow my husband, who’s been driving for 50 years, to drive at night here or on weekends because of what’s going on in the streets,” she said. Resident Irene Redless, who said she has lived in Cedarhurst for more than 40 years, questioned why the village has not embraced speed bumps when neighboring communities have installed them. “The situation is safety,” Redless said. “Safety of the people who pay taxes. If it’s not safe and we don’t get our money’s worth, why should we pay taxes?”
Redless described crashes and damaged vehicles on her block, saying speeding has become a recurring problem. “There has to be safety,” Redless said. “That should be the primary point of why we’re here. You have to put speed bumps. That may solve the problem — it’s not going to make it worse.” According to a statement distributed by the village to residents, traditional speed bumps are generally not permitted on public roadways in New York State, while speed humps present significant drawbacks. “Because much of Cedarhurst consists of long, straight avenues, vehicles often approach speed humps at excessive speeds,” the statement wrote. “This can create substantial noise as vehicles pass over them and, in some cases, cause vehicles to become airborne. The constant noise generated by thousands of vehicles each day can become a significant nuisance for nearby homeowners.” The board also said installing speed humps on one street would likely prompt similar requests throughout the village, increasing maintenance costs while complicating emergency response and winter operations. “Speed humps also create operational challenges during snow removal. Snowplows frequently strike them, resulting in costly damage to Village equipment and, at times, to nearby parked vehicles,” the statement wrote.
Hewlett’s Beverly Wachtel honored for decades of community service By AIDAN WARSHAVSKY awarshavsky@liherald.com
When Beverly Wachtel and her husband, Jerry Wachtel, moved to Hewlett from Brooklyn in 1988 to begin a new chapter, they looked for a Jewish community. But for the Westchester native, it would be the start of an unparalleled journey of dedication. Wachtel’s rise in the community stems from her involvement at the Hewlett-East Rockaway Jewish Centre, in East Rockaway. She began in a leadership role as the President of the Nursery School Parents Association in 1992. Since then, Wachtel has served in numerous roles, including 13 nonconsecutive years as president of HERJC Sisterhood, a women’s group within the synagogue that organizes community-building social events. Additionally, she served as Sisterhood vice president for 20 years and spent time as a member of the board of directors and the religious school parents association. Wachtel credits her volunteerism to her late parents, Stanley and Theda Okun. “My mother was President of Hadassah and President of B’nai B’rith, and my father was on the religious school board of education at Congregation Kneses Tifereth Israel, so I did all those things,” Wachtel said. “I didn’t really think about it, I just kept doing more. I wanted to be a part of it” Throughout her years of service to HERJC, Wachtel helped create programs.
In 2004 and 2005, Wachtel organized and ran a 3-kilometer walk for Israel through the Sisterhood and the congregation to help victims of terrorism in Israel. She established the annual joint Sisterhood event, which brings together local synagogue sisterhoods for programs, and started fundraisers for the congregation. Wachtel grew up skiing and playing volleyball in Westchester and was part of the third full graduating class at Blind Brook High School, a public school in Rye Brook. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Lafayette College in Easton, Pa. She has two children, Jonathan Wachtel (Ninette Shikley) and Lisa Wachtel (Dave Krieg) and two grandchildren, Alex Krieg and Zachary Krieg. Wachtel was one of 18 women at Assemblywoman Judy Griffin’s sixth annual Women of Distinction Ceremony on July 29. The event honors women for their leadership and service to their communities. “These women remind us that leadership isn’t measured by titles or recognition. It is found in showing up for others, lifting people up during difficult times, building vibrant communities, and inspiring the next generation to follow in their footsteps to make a difference,” Griffin wrote in a news release. “I believe that our communities are shaped by people who choose to give back, and I am grateful for your presence in Assembly District 21. Your generosity, engagement and service make our communities more welcoming, kinder, and more connected.”

Vote on issues, not the scoreboard
very election season follows a familiar script. News reports dissect the latest polls. Campaigns celebrate statistical bump as if they’ve won a championship. Political commentators debate momentum, speculate about strategy and spend countless hours analyzing who’s ahead and who’s falling behind. Somewhere along the way, the issues that will shape our neighborhoods often become secondary. Elections aren’t sporting events, and voters shouldn’t approach them as if they’re rooting for a favorite team. Polls may provide a snapshot of public opinion at a specific moment, but they are not ballots and do not evaluate policies. The danger of treating elections like horse races is that the conversation shifts away from substance. Instead of asking how candidates plan to solve problems, voters are encouraged to ask who appears more likely to win. Instead of examining competing visions for the future, too many people focus on campaign tactics, fundraising totals and social media trends. Who has the best ideas for addressing housing costs, improving public safety, strengthening schools and the many other challenges ahead must not be forgotten. Our communities need voters who are informed, engaged and motivated to famil-
iarize themselves with the choices before them. Every election, from town boards and county legislatures to statewide offices, affects the quality of life in our neighborhoods. Decisions made by those officials influence taxes, zoning, infrastructure, emergency services, transportation, parks and economic development. Polling has a legitimate place in politics. It can reveal public concerns and identify emerging issues. But it also has limitations. It reflects opinions only at the time respondents are surveyed, and history has shown that polls can miss late shifts in public sentiment. More important, polls do not tell voters which candidate has the best ideas or values. That requires looking beyond campaign commercials, viral video clips and carefully crafted slogans. Voters should compare candidates’ positions on the issues that matter most. How would they address property taxes? What are their plans for housing, public safety and education? How would they manage taxpayer dollars? What are their priorities for infrastructure and economic growth? Fortunately, the information is available. Attend candidate debates and forums. Read policy proposals and campaign websites. Learn about incumbents’ records instead of
relying solely on their promises. Ask candidates thoughtful questions when they appear before civic groups and community organizations. Read the Herald, which follows local government throughout the year, not just during campaign season. The closer elections become, the more intense the horse-race coverage usually gets. Headlines focus on who gained two percentage points or whose campaign appears to have more energy. Yet when the votes are counted and the campaign signs come down, those numbers quickly fade into history. When Election Day arrives, the latest polls will no longer matter. The decisions made by those who are elected will. Budgets will be adopted, services funded, roads repaired, development approved and taxes set. Those choices affect residents long after campaign momentum has faded. An informed vote is one of the most powerful tools any citizen possesses. It should be based not on who appears to be winning, but on who has earned the public’s confidence with his or her ideas, experience and clear vision for the future. This election season, ignore the scoreboard. Study the issues. Evaluate the candidates. Ask difficult questions. Then cast your ballot based on informed judgment. That is how democracy works best, and how our communities will be best served.
LEttER to tHE EDitoR Time to stop Liberty Water rate increases To the Editor: Merrick and Bellmore residents face an outrageous 37 percent water bill increase requested by Liberty Utilities. Coupled with annual hikes of 13 percent to 17 percent between 2024 and 2026, our water costs will have nearly doubled since Liberty took control in 2022. Forcing neighbors to absorb another massive increase for a basic necessity is unacceptable when a solution already exists to lower our water bills. In November 2021, New York state created the South Nas-

sau Water Authority to transition our water system into a public, tax-exempt entity. Because public authorities operate without corporate profits or special tax burdens, this transition would immediately lower our water bills. Yet nearly five years later, the SNWA board has made no tangible progress. There is no timeline for the transition, no contract for sale, and no negotiations on sale price. Meanwhile, the Republican-controlled Town of Hempstead, under Supervisor John Ferretti, and the Nassau County Legislature, under Executive Bruce Blakeman, who appointed the SNWA board, remain silent. They refuse to pressure the board to act or replace them for their inaction. The longer our elected officials fail to act, the more

residents will see unnecessary increases in the cost of basic necessities. Residents must stop accepting this broken status quo. We must show up, speak out, and demand that our officials deliver the public water system promised years ago. MICHAEL VANUNU Merrick Editors’ note: In June, Town of Hempstead Supervisor John Ferretti called on state regulators to reject Liberty New York Water’s proposed rate increases, arguing that the hikes would place an undue burden on Long Island residents already struggling with rising costs.

Hewlett’s Our Kids Place relocates to V.S. By ANGELINA ZINGARIELLO
azingariello@liherald.com
After more than a decade in Hewlett, Our Kids Place has relocated to Valley Stream, bringing the family-owned early childhood education program closer to many of the students and families it already serves. The preschool recently moved into its new home at Grace Methodist Church and will mark the occasion with a ribboncutting ceremony at 1 p.m. on Sept. 2, the first day of its fall school year. The event will welcome current and former families, staff members and community members as the preschool officially celebrates its arrival in Valley Stream. “I think it’s a beautiful adjustment,” Lorraine McMillan, director of operations, said. “We’re learning the building, we’re learning the community, but Valley Stream has been warm and welcoming.” The move follows 11 years at the Hewlett location, which opened in May 2015. According to McMillan, the preschool had already been looking for a Valley Stream location because of its universal prekindergarten contract with Valley Stream 24 School District. Relocating places the school within walking distance for many district families and has already generated increased interest, with the District 24 waitlist growing since the move. Our Kids Place traces its roots to a Queens location that has operated since

Our Kids Place is family-owned, with Leslie Peters, far left, Lorraine McMillan and Merlyn Peters running all aspects of the business. 1991. The preschool was purchased in 2006 by owner Merlyn Peters, who continues to lead the business. Today, the organization remains family-owned and operated. McMillan oversees daily operations at the Valley Stream location, while her sister, Leslie Peters, serves as educational director, managing curriculum for both campuses. The preschool serves children from 18 months through prekindergarten and also offers an after-school program for
students in kindergarten through fifth grade. Operating Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., the school follows the school district calendar. Rather than functioning solely as a daycare, Our Kids Place emphasizes a structured preschool curriculum. The program is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, with classrooms built around scheduled learning activities, including circle time, centers, arts and crafts, music
and movement, outdoor play and ageappropriate rest periods. Last year, the preschool expanded its offerings to include an integrated special education program, allowing children receiving services such as speech and occupational therapy to learn alongside their peers in general education classrooms. “Whether they’re here for extended hours or they’re here for the traditional school days, they’re always involved in doing something,” McMillan said. “Our goal is to meet the needs of every single child, meet them where they are. We try to give individualized attention.” The transition to Valley Stream has been supported by returning staff and families, with most employees and students moving from the Hewlett location. The preschool has also attracted new families without additional marketing, as residents have recognized the name and stopped by after seeing signage at the new site. Looking ahead, the preschool hopes to continue expanding its integrated special education program and grow its afterschool enrollment while maintaining the level of individualized attention families have come to expect. The upcoming ribbon cutting represents not only the opening of a new location but also the beginning of a new chapter in the preschool’s long history of serving local families.
