Fill the void

To the Editor:

It always amazes us that Cedarhurst-Lawrence can never find a location for a decent library and now for the JCC. Now they have an opportunity to fill this void by selling #6 school to the JCC which serves the entire community with necessary, interesting , affordable programs for all ages.

Praise for Politician

To the Editor:

We often bemoan the ulterior motives of politicians which impact their decisions and actions. I have been completely surprised by the deeds of a local politician and feel his act of chesed should be acknowledged.  Last week Howard Koppel performed an atypical political act of kindness for which he gains absolutely nothing in return. Howard spearheaded a public recognition of my father in the Nassau County legislative building (in Mineola). NYU law school awarded my father an Honorarium in recognition of his attendance (to their school) prior to his enlistment into the Air Force.  After 3 and a half years of combat, my father did not receive his law degree, but has always subconsciously wanted to practice law (in 63 years of marriage my mother has never won a “debate”). My Dad is 93 years old and thank G-d is in sound health and mind.
