In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month in May, Long Island Reach hosted their second annual 9 and Dine Golf and Dinner Event on May 24, 2022. The multi-service agency that pro vides a broad range of mental health counseling, rehabilitative and treatment services for youth and their families, based in Long Beach, Franklin Square, and Port Washington, NY, held the event to benefit their programs and mission.

Golfers raise $14,000 for mental health
Mental Health Awareness Month began in 1949 when the National Mental Health Association declared May as the month to increase awareness of the importance of mental health and well ness in Americans’ lives. The goal, which Long Island Reach stands by, is to recog nize mental health and educate communi ties on understanding mental health needs. The 9 and Dine Golf and Dinner Event did just that and was a spirited way for people to come together to support those affected by mental illness. The 9 and Dine Golf and Dinner was purposefully designed for golfers and nongolfers. The sold-out 9-hole golf outing was held at Lido Golf Course and was followed by a social gathering at JJ Coopers Restaurant in Long Beach. All event proceeds benefited Long Island Reach’s support services, mental health counseling, and therapy programs for people in crisis.The 9 and Dine Golf and Dinner Event was a unique way to recognize how important it is to connect individuals to the appropriate level of care. Long Island Reach is committed to working with community resi dents of all ages and their families to engage and help them learn better ways to cope with depression and seek creative alternatives to drug and alcohol“Forabuse.thepast 50 years, Long Island Reach has offered vital health and human services to Long Islanders in need. Nonprofit organizations like Long Island Reach provide essential and life-saving services, such as behavioral health and addiction counseling as well as other countless critical support programs to help with mental health and to rebuild Long Island’s economy,” said Dr. Joseph Smith, Psychologist and Executive Direc tor of Long Island Reach. “Events such as our 9 and Dine Event support Long Island Reach, allowing us to continue to help those in need and crisis across Nassau and Suffolk counties.”

By BRIAN PFAIL bpfail@liherald.com Two Elmont students participated in Adelphi Univer sity’s summer Jaggar Community internships. From June to August, Roodginia Guerrier and Jessica Diaz were interns, committing 30 hours for 10 weeks in the educational sphere. The program included 47 undergraduates and gradu ates and has been serving Adelphi’s students for 13 years. Guerrier, a rising senior, is majoring in nurs ing. Her internship was with Northwell Nursing Institute. There, she gathered the skills for a nursing educator position. “My internship is where I want to look in the future,” said Guerrier. “I’m a nursing major, and I liked that the internship gave you a choice in terms that you’re the one that’s trying to figure out something that works for you.” Much of her work was on the educational side of nursing, focusing on learning mod ules, exams, lectures, and events. She said the experience was excellent, having the support of colleagues and the school. She also said it was very organized, alleviating the stress of the typical day-to-day functions of nursing. There was also the necessary oversight every week to check up on the students, but nothing too demanding. “A lot of the students who are in the program never had a formal internship like this,” said Guerrier. “It’s a good way of kind of opening the doors and making con nections and networking if you’ve never done it before.” She remarked she would be able to use those connec tions to further her career after she graduates next year. She says this opportunity helped pave the way for possi ble career paths and that it’s something every Adelphi student should consider doing. “I was able to open a door for myself by being able to connect with these people,” Guerrier said. “I plan on applying and hopefully get the job to work for them and move up the ladder. That’s the goal.”

Jaggar Community internships wrap up
Jessica Diaz, on the adjacent side of the medical fence, is a sophomore majoring in psychology. She interned at Old Westbury Gardens, a museum home off of Old Westbury Road. In the beginning, she didn’t see the link between psychology and her internship posi tion, but her outlook changed over time. “With psychology, a lot of experience comes from just dealing with people and through doing the tour groups and their camp programs,” said Diaz. “They also have outreach programs where you go to a school and do a little bit more.”
She mentioned doing educational pro grams with the kids. Diaz would create les son plans, activities, and events through which she could share and educate. She said while there, she got to exhibit the different behaviors of children and “how certain kids react certain ways, how they act when they’re in a group versus alone.” She said she didn’t know what to expect at first but honed her organization and leadership skills to plan the events of the camp as well as lesson plans and activities. Keeping the attention of the crowd, especially the chil dren, was paramount to her duties. “It’s really difficult, so you need to find ways to grab their attention but not make it seem like you’re yelling at them,” she said. Because of her experience with the internship, she plans to go into family and child psychol ogy with a preference for child therapy. It “had an impact prior to the internship. I knew that I wanted to focus a little bit more on kids for my career, but it definitely solidified what I wanted to do,” said Diaz. “I feel like I definitely will continue my interest in family and child counseling, and I plan to minor in fami ly counseling with a focus on psychology.”

Members of the Lakeview Fire Depart ment paid a visit to their former chief and former Fire Commissioner Walter Bischoff to celebrate his 101st Birthday. Bischoff had turned 101 on June 13, but pandemic restrictions at his Islip living facility kept his fellow firefighters from visiting at the time. Bischoff holds a long record of service. A veteran of the Second World War, Bischoff was in the navy, serving as a chief ship fitter on the U.S.S. Madison. After the war, Bischoff honed his craft in plumbing and heating while also dedicat ing his time to the Lakeview Fire Depart ment. Bischoff and his wife of over 50 years Marguerite have raised a network of children, grand children, and great grandchildren who hold them dear. Bischoff’s strength even rallied him through a battle with Covid. The visiting firefighters also took the occasion to present Bischoff with an award for 65 years of service. The honor was first granted at the department’s installation dinner, but Bischoff had been unable to attend due to Covid restrictions. Chin

Anyone driving the Southern State Parkway knows it’s not an easy highway to travel. There are a lot of accidents, but there’s simply too many vehicles. But one fix offered by the Long Island Contractors Association and Assembly woman Michaelle Solages might not get the happiest reception: They propose add ing a toll lane for carpoolers. The high occupancy toll — or HOT — lane under consideration wouldn’t remove an existing lane, but instead be added, according to an Aug. 4 outline of a pro posed public-private partnership released by Solages to renovate the Southern State Parkway.Thereport found that such an addition al lane could help alleviate traffic. Focusing on the Southern State Park way is nothing new for the contractors or Solages, as they have brought attention to the dangers of the 26-mile highway in the past.One particular area of concern is between Exits for Malverne/West Hemp stead and Huntington/Amityville, which have been referred to as “Bloody Alley” thanks to the high number of accidents occurring there. And it’s not just a perception. Between 2012 and 2019, more than 15,750 accidents were reported on the Southern State, claiming 78 lives, according to the state transportation department. That’s more than six accidents per day, killing some one, on average, once every month. Joshua Hurwitz blames the parkway’s outdated design for its traffic and accident woes.“Construction was complete in 1962, and despite some improvements since that time, the design of the parkway is largely unchanged since its first section opened to traffic in 1927,” he said, representing the American Road and Transportation Build ers Association in Washington. At the same time, the number of driv ers using the parkway has increased dra matically, with the population of Nassau and Suffolk counties nearly quadrupling since 1950. Southern State now carries an average of 200,000 vehicles a day through Nassau.Solages’ report weighs the redevelop ing the roadway through a public-private contract. It’s similar to projects like the Goethals Bridge replacement between Staten Island and New Jersey, redevelop ment of LaGuardia Airport, and the Moynihan Train Hall conversion at Penn Station in Manhattan. For the Sothern State, private part ners could be contracted to design, con struct, finance, operate and even main taine the roadway. In return, that private group could be compensated through periodic government payments, or with tollSolagesrevenue.has long advocated for renova tions to the Southern State. “I am proud to support the release of this study, especially because I believe the data presented will save lives,” the Assem blywoman said, in a release. “The traffic crush that occurs on the Southern State Parkway simply cannot be left as is. We must act for families across Long Island. This report provides a future roadmap to successful change.” Yet, Solages office clarified that while the Assemblywoman does not specifically endorse the plan she presented last week, she is open to any ideas that could help relieve the Southern State’s systemic issues.Any toll lane will be dynamically priced, Hurwitz said, meaning costs would fluctuate depending on the time of day and other conditions. “The user has the decision of whether they want to use that lane and pay the toll or use the general purpose lanes,” he said. “This is sort of a preliminary step to bring attention back to the Southern State Parkway,” with the next step reaching out to drivers who would ultimately be affect ed by such change, and getting their input.

fear takes 7 202211,August—HERALDSQUARE/ELMONTFRANKLIN 1181873
If someone gave you a magic pill to calm your fears, I’m talking real magic here - not a pill from the pharmacy or dealer — how would you live your life differently? What would you do if you weren’t so careful, didn’t play it so safe? What would you say? Where would you travel? What would delight you? Who would you be? Your answers to these questions reveal what a fearful lifestyle may be costing you. And they suggest how your life could be far more satisfying if you were less apprehensive, less alarmed — even in this age of Covid. Certainly, there are times in which it is wise to be afraid. Indeed, there’s often a fine line between being fearless and being naïve or just plain stupid. The opposite, however, is also true. Exces sive fear limits your ability to enjoy life, work creatively, speak spontaneously, and love freely. Here are just a few of the costs of a fearful lifestyle: Fear constricts thinking When fear holds sway over your thoughts, it constricts your ability to think, no matter how well educated or street-savvy you are. You habitually take the easy way out – developing a pat tern of reflexive naysaying rather than reflective thought. If you’re consis tently worrying about set backs, troubles, problems, or calamities that might befall you or your loved ones, it makes it difficult, if not impossible, to think constructively. Fear pinches choices Fear restricts your ability to take action. You approach life with a better safe than sorry philosophy, living your life in a too-tight, too-narrow comfort zone. When fear becomes the deciding factor as to what actions you’ll take, you bypass amazing experiences in this world. Instead of being a happy camper, you become bored, discontent, and envi ous of others who live a more carefree life. In this age of Covid, does this mean paying no attention to safety proto cols? Not at all! It means enjoying experiences out doors and/or wearing your mask! Fear squeezes all the fun, excitement, and juiciness out of life. If fear holds sway over your emotions, it’s easy to feel physically exhausted and emotionally depleted. Life feels tough. Work feels burdensome. Mingling with others feels oppres sive. When fear squeezes all the juici ness out of life, what’s left? Only two things: the routine, dull, everyday undertakings. And the crises, tragedies, and hardships of life that none of us totallyAren’tescape.you too smart to let yourself become one of those people who believe that life is “just one damn thing after another?” Yes, assessing the dangers of your choice makes good sense, but sole ly focusing on the hazards that accom pany your choice makes life difficult, dull, dry and dreary. You, dear reader, deserve better!

Members of Long Island’s Shinnecock Nation are introducing families to their heritage and traditions throughout the summer at Long Island Children’s Museum’s dynamic exhibit “Toyuskanash: Bridges,” which runs through Labor Day.

In this installation, artists selected others to join them to tell a collaborative story. The four artists involved represent different generations and use different media, but share a culture and commitment to celebrating traditions in a contemporary context. “The concept of ‘Bridges’ represented in the title is a metaphor for bringing people together over difficult or impossible terrain,” says fine art photographer Jeremy Dennis, who notes “Toyuskanash is the Algonquian word for “bridges.“

Ask
My brother’s questioning our renovation Q. My brother worked in construction but doesn’t now. He pointed out some potential problems with our renovation, and I wonder if they’re serious or not. One, there is only one 2 x 4 at the bottom of the wall studs, not two, which makes it more difficult to attach the tall baseboard we chose. Another is that most of the wall studs are 24 inches apart instead of 16, and bowed, not straight, and wallboard screws might miss the wood. My brother says this is a prob lem. Do you agree?
A. Your brother made some very, um, construc tive comments, some that may raise real concerns, and others that are more opinions. First, using a double “base plate,” the 2 x 4s at the bottom of the wall framing, is just more expensive and is rarely done. The only reason to do it would be to make it easier to randomly attach the base trim boards, which just as easily attach with finish nails at 16 inches on center. A combination of the finish nails and a con struction adhesive saves lumber. Placing the wall studs at 24 inches on center is supposed to save money by reducing the number of wall studs need ed, which, in this time of drastically increased material costs, might seem like a better idea. It actually costs more, though, because half-inch-thick wallboard will be flimsier to span the extra 8 inch es, and the next thickness, 5/8-inch, offsets the cost savings of the wall studs, so you get a slightly weaker structure wall for the same or higher cost.
I recently did an inspection and found another common problem: There were wall studs missing at corners and ceiling joists missing at wall and ceil ing junctions. Without these “nailers,” there’s no place to screw-attach the gypsum wallboard, which can’t just be left to flop in a corner. On the worksite, everyone has a complaint about something, it seems, and the drywall subcontractors want good locations to easily attach, such as the nailers and straight wall studs. I have seen many good carpenters, over the years, inspect the lumber as it’s delivered, holding the planks and studs so that they can stare down the length of the wood and check the straightness, which is generally achieved by letting the freshly cut lumber either kiln-dry or air-dry for many weeks before shipment. Unfortunately, the mills were behind when construction demand went up after the coronavirus crisis, so lumber is “greener” when it ships, filled with much more moisture and able to bow and warp more. This will be a problem, and I expect more calls from people who will be misguided away from this real cause when there are cracks in the walls. The blame will be placed on structural design, a fallacy, to deflect from the movement of wood with greater moisture content as it acclimates to a house when the heat gets turned on over the following winter. You may see this, too. Good luck! ArchitectThe Monte Leeper

opinions Courage is too rare a commodity these days o ne of my all-time favorite books was written by the late Presi dent John F. Kennedy in 1956, four years before he became president. The book, “Profiles in Cour age,” comprised short biographies of eight members of the U.S. Senate who defied their party or their constituents by taking a stand they believed was impor tant on an issue of the day. There are few people in today’s world who have been willing to face the conse quences for follow ing their con science, but those few are worth not ing.At the top of the list are two Repub lican members of the House of Rep resentatives. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinz inger have had the guts and the strength to oppose a president and take a vital role in the current hearings on the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Cheney has become a powerful voice in helping the public understand the gravity of what our nation would face if Donald Trump were to again seek public office. She has been fearless and courageous in discuss ing the significance of the witness testi mony, and by using simple terms she has touched a raw public nerve. Kinzinger has served in the House since 2010. His seat in Congress has been a safe one, and he had no reason to jump ship and take on Trump. Kinzinger became the first Republican to challenge Trump’s claim of voter fraud and attempts to overturn the 2020 elec tion. He not only supported Trump’s impeachment, but also voted for the creation of the Jan. 6 committee. He has chosen to leave office at the end of the year. Next in line for accolades are the eight other Republi can House members who voted for Trump’s impeachment. It takes courage to defy your party and your voters to do the right thing, but they stood up for their beliefs, and most of them are now paying a price. Of the 10, including Cheney and Kinzinger, four are retiring, one lost a pri mary, one survived a primary and must face voters again in November, and Cheney faces a primary next week. It isn’t often that the action of a large group of people qualifies as an act of courage, but kudos go to the voters of Kansas, who defied many of their friends and neighbors to stand up for a woman’s right to make a personal choice on wheth er to have an abortion. Kansas is one of the reddest states in the country, yet some how, while the opinion polls showed anti-abortion propo nents winning, I didn’t believe them. Over the past 10-plus years, lots of opin ion polls on political issues and candidates have been wrong, and this vote was a closely guarded voter secret. The subject of abortion brings to mind one of the few instances in my career in Albany when a member willingly sacrificed his seat, and more, to cast a “yes” vote for legalized abortion. In April 1970, Assemblyman George Michaels, a Demo crat from upstate Auburn, sat in the chamber during a highly emotional debate on abortion. Michaels represented a predominantly Catholic district, and his decision to vote to approve the abortion law cost him his seat and his law partner ship, along with bitter community blow back.My last nominated group that has shown the courage of its convictions is the parents of the shooting victims at Sandy Hook Elementary School in New town, Connecticut. These parents will for ever suffer over the loss of their children, and they didn’t deserve to become the vic tims of a conspiracy campaign launched by conservative radio talk show host Alex Jones.Jones claimed the Sandy Hook massa cre was a hoax and tormented the parents for years, but they refused to accept the taunting. Their defamation lawsuit against Jones has led a jury to award them huge Couragedamages.intoday’s world is a rare com modity. Mark Twain defined it as “resis tance to fear, mastery of fear — not absence of fear.” Muhammad Ali stated, “He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.” My own definition is, if you haven’t been will ing to defy the odds and speak out against the forces of evil, you have missed an opportunity, and that makes you a lesser person.

L ast week, the Florida Department of Education announced that mili tary veterans, as well as their spouses, would receive a five-yearvoucher that allows them to teach in the classroom despite not receiving a degree to do so. It’s a move tied to the $8.6 million the state announced would be used to expand career and work force opportunitiestraining for military veterans and their spouses. — USA Today Gov. DeSantis’sRonplan to allow U.S. veterans to teach in bachelor’sveteransifterrificclassroomsFloridaisaconcept—andwhentheearndegrees and complete teacher training programs. The governor’s initiative, announced last week, would open the classroom door to any veteran who has served four or more years in the military, left the service with an honorable discharge and agrees to working with a mentor. The proposal would allow veterans to teach for five years without a bachelor’s degree, without classroom experience or a teaching license and without passing any kind of certification program.
If veterans want to become teachers, then let’s provide the money and the best teachers to prepare them to enter the classroom. To throw them in cold is irre sponsible and potentially damaging to both veterans andI’mstudents.ateacher, and have been a teacher in some way or another since 1968. I taught junior high school and high school English. I still have the notebooks from NYU, filled with teaching techniques and lesson plans and suggestions for negotiating the emotional minefield that is a junior high school classroom.I’vebeen retired for many years, but I still teach. I lead book groups, and I teach my grandkids. It’s a kind of instinctive way to connect, a way to be in the world. You walk on a beach and you see some critters, and you talk to the kids about how horseshoe crabs are prehistoric and how they help keep our tidal waters clean.
You prepare a meal, and teach the kids about keeping conditions healthy and hygienic around food. I know there will be some natural-born teachers among the veterans who move into Florida classrooms. That will be a bonus for the kids. But loving teaching and loving children are not enough.Iwouldn’t want to see doctors replaced by veter ans who really love medi cine but have no medical training. Same for pilots. Ship captains. Some jobs demand critical thinking skills and rigorous training for which there is no short cut. To suggest that anyone without teacher training can step into a classroom, maintain classroom decorum, teach the curriculum, work effectively with colleagues and truly educate our children is dismissive of teacher educa tion. I know our vets have faced daunting responsibilities and fearsome challenges in their work. But standing in front of a classroom presents entirely different chal lenges, and requires a body of learning and a process of training that does not allow for shortcuts. Our children deserve to be taught by individuals who have been fully educated themselves. Even the most motivated, child-loving wannabe teacher needs to study how to teach third-graders mathe matics, and how to get nonreaders to read, and how to settle classroom disputes, and how to get the truant back to school, and how to plan lessons for a month ahead, and how to teach a classroom of 30 kids who are all on different reading levels. According to New York state, to become a teacher, a candidate must meet the requirements stipulated by the Office of Teaching Initiatives. Like most states, New York requires that all teachers hold a bachelor’s degree, complete a state teacher certification pro gram, and pass the required content examinations. Upon meeting the require ments for certification, an applicant may be issued an initial certificate, which is valid for five years. This entry-level certif icate leads to a professional certificate, which is an advanced-level license that is continuously valid, assuming the teacher completes the appropriate number of pro fessional development hours every five years.Ispend part of my year in Florida, and I am concerned for the upcoming genera tion of Floridians. One teacher I know said of DeSantis’s plan, “He likes his con stituents to be uneducated because criti cal thinkers would vote him out.”

Although Florida is facing a dire teacher shortage, the governor’s plan is disre spectful to both students and the veterans.

Protect democracy: Become an election protector d uring the traditional dog days of summer, many people are more apt to relax on vacation than to think about whom they plan to vote for in the upcoming elections, never mind how they can help ensure vot ers’ rights at the polling place. What was custom just a few years ago, however, has been tossed on the scrap heap, as early voting and the expanded use of absentee ballots have shifted vot ingNewhabits.census data led to a redrawing of political districts, upending the 2022 elec tionInseason.June,which has become the prima ry month in New York state in the past few years, there were gubernatorial and Assembly primaries. But because there was a brouhaha over how the congressio nal and state senatorial districts were drawn, the legal wrangling pushed those primaries to Aug. 23. With those votes approaching and the general election in November, it’s not just voting that is important, but protecting the right to vote as well. In this country, “one person, one vote” truly means that when a ballot is filled out, that vote will count. Whether it’s an election with a razor-thin margin between candidates or an overwhelming victory, we take for granted that every one’s vote counted. From local elections such as the 2021 race for Nassau County executive — in which Bruce Blakeman’s margin of victo ry over Laura Curran was 2,150 votes — to George W. Bush’s victory over Al Gore in the presidential election 21 years earli er that was decided by 537 votes in Flori da, every vote is consequential. And pro tecting that vote is essential. In order to safeguard the act of voting, we need election protectors. What are they? According to the Election Protec tion coalition organized by the political watchdog group Common Cause, an elec tion protector is a trained, nonpartisan onsite volunteer who can explain voting rules and help troubleshoot issues with voting. Election Protection is an effort to overcome what Common Cause describes as the “outdated infrastructure, rampant misinformation and needless obstacles to the ballot Commonbox.”Cause dates back to the Nixon administration, when it was found ed by John Gardner, a Republican cabinet member in President Lyndon B. John son’s administration. The initial push of Common Cause was to end the Vietnam War and lower the voting age in the U.S. from 21 to 18. Today, the nationwide coalition aims to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to vote, and that that vote counts. There are more than 300 local, state and national Election Protection partners, according to Common Cause. Whoa, you may think. Is this just another way for one political party to gain an advantage over the other? No. Signing on and learning how to be an election protector simply means you play a vital role in the most critical cog that makes this nation’s democracy work: vot ing.No matter which political party you are affiliated with, and no matter which political philosophy you are aligned with, you, as a citizen of this country, have the civic responsibility to take part in its gov ernment.Whenyou vote in an election, you exer cise your right to give voice to your opin ions. An election protector helps safe guard that right, which in turn safe guards our democracy. “The most important political office is that of the private citizen,” Louis Brandeis wrote over a century ago, early in a legal career that eventually took him to the U.S. Supreme Court. By becoming an election protector, you will serve a dual purpose: protecting the right of people to vote, while breathing life into Brandeis’s words.

letters Kudos to Hinman for his shipwreck research To the Editor: I liked Executive Editor Michael Hinman’s column, “Two heroes, and one captain who should’ve been ashamed,” last week. I’ve been the historian of the Village of Lynbrook for over 30 years, and am the author of “Water & Ice: The Tragic Wrecks of the Bristol and the Mexico on the South Shore of Long Island.” (The book is available on Amazon.) I have also had dozens of local history arti cles published in the Herald over the years, including several related to the two wrecks, and to the annual cere mony that I help organize at the mon ument, along with the Ancient Order of Hibernians of Nassau County and the Historical Society of East Rocka way and Hinman’sLynbrook.detailed summary of the can become an election protector by signing up at the ProtectTheVote.net website. elections voting, go to the Nassau County Board of Elections NassauCountyNY.gov,website,orcall (516) 571-8683. can also reach the League of Women Voters of Nassau County at LWVofNassauCounty.org, or by calling (516) 431-1628.

LETTERs FRAmEWORk by Tim Baker
Think they’d mind if we just sat in there and cooled off? — Norman Levy Preserve, Merrick story of the two wrecks is by far the most accurate of any I have seen — and I have seen many, including in Newsday. Aside from his mention of Ruth Bader’s article, which appeared on the Web after my book was published, Hinman seems to have based his story on sources identical to those I used (and cited) in my book. And it took me almost 10 years to find them. With such deep research, it is truly remarkable that he accomplished this despite never having come across either my book or my articles in the Herald. Those same organizations that hold the annual ceremony and I have applied to the Town of Hempstead for Landmark and Preservation status for the monu ment and the small remaining open space of the Mariners Burying Ground (the very space Ruth Bader mentioned). The cemetery operators are fighting our appli cation. It is a compelling struggle, well worth covering in the Herald.ART MATTSON Lynbrook What does Kremer see in Biden? To the Editor: I was very surprised at the paragraphs about President Biden in Jerry Kremer’s column “The country’s chief executive has the most thankless job” (July 28-Aug. 3). Kremer’s statements about President Biden are very confusing. He describes him as “one of the best foreign relations presidents,” yet Biden pulled all U.S. troops from Afghanistan in one of the worst military decisions ever. He’s taken the lead on the Ukraine War? When it comes to Ukraine, I can’t trust any decision by Biden. His son and his brother and probably himself have earned millions of dollars from this coun try, and are now under investigation. His decisions are compromised, at the very least, and he is spending money in Ukraine that we do not have. Biden recommitted the U.S. to the NATO alliance and returned us to the Paris Climate Agreement. This accord curbs the U.S. carbon foot print but allows China and India to use fossil fuels to their heart’s desire. Very unfair to the Domestically,U.S. the headaches our coun try now has, which Kremer claims landed on Biden’s desk and are not his fault, are all of his making. A major factor causing inflation is the closure of our energy-pro ducing pipelines and canceled energy leases, jacking up the prices of oil, gas, transportation, food, you name it. Our southern border? Millions of ille gal aliens are now trying to enter the U.S., mostly unvaccinated and untested for Covid-19 and inadequately vetted. Now involved in human trafficking, the drug cartels are Racism?flourishing.Bidenisbeholden to identity politics. He boasted about his Black and female running mate. Look where that got us. Crime? Violent crime is soaring in most major cities under his reign. Bad breaks? Biden’s job is to lead. He has a majority in Congress and he still can’t get things done. The media? They got him elected by hiding his son’s laptop story and allowing him to run for office from his basement. And now they’re pick ing on him? Wow. People like Kremer, with the platform he has, don’t hold Biden accountable. He made decisions, and he needs to own them. He is the president of the greatest country in the world, and needs to put on the big-boy pants and act like it.
N assau County’s ongoing mission to address the opioid addiction crisis is one of the most impor tant and most heart-wrenching issues I contend with as a mother and as the ranking member of the County Legis lature’s Health & Social Services Commit tee. This merciless and unforgiving scourge has touched nearly all of our lives.As the county sits on tens of mil lions of settlement dollars from the nation’s largest opioid drug manu facturers and dis tributors, Suffolk County has announcedalready plans for its share — a blueprint that was devised through the work of a transparent, bipartisan and collaborative advisory panel. To date, Nas sau County, in contrast, has offered little more than conceptual plans for using our share.Itis time to follow Suffolk County’s lead, so that these funds can get into the hands of agencies and entities on the front lines of our response to the addic tionOncrisis.July 26, Suffolk County announced that it would dedicate settlement funds received from opioid distrib utors

The advisory panel also published a report describing how future funds would be spent.Meanwhile, in Nassau, we still lack a clear vision from County Executive Bruce Blakeman. According to annual reports from the county comptroller’s office and the independent Office of Legislative Budget Review, the county has received $55.9 million in settlement funds, $15 mil lion of which must be directed toward opioid addiction recovery, prevention and education. None of these funds had been spent as of last month. Since Blakeman told Newsday on April 19 that he would “meet with Barry Wilansky, his new director of substance abuse policy who has more than 30 years of experience in rehabilita tion services, to identify the best way to spend the money,” Blakeman’s admin istration has not articulated a clearly defined strategy. To my knowledge, the adminis tration has not engaged leg islators or community stakeholders on the best uses for these funds, either. That is especially unfortunate when you consider how those resources could amplify the benefits of successful pro grams that are already operating, and those that could come soon. Nassau’s highly successful Operation: Natalie, which floods opioid “hot spots” in the county with enforcement, education, com munity outreach and treatment resourc es, is back up and running at full force after the pandemic. Legislation that would provide Narcan to nightlife estab lishments statewide is on Gov. Kathy Hochul’s desk. In Nassau, my minority caucus colleagues and I are pushing for fentanyl testing strips to be added to the Narcan kits the county distributed as part of an effort to reduce the number of over dose deaths caused by fentanyl-laced drugs.Acollaborative and community-pow ered strategic plan for the use of Nassau County’s settlement funds would be another giant step forward in our mission to amplify and deliver the treatment, edu cation and prevention services that will save lives and help residents free them selves from the grip of addiction. For the sake of all the people that we have lost and the families that continue to grapple with the horrors of this disease, we must not miss this opportunity.
