FIREFIgHTERs oF lADDER 137, in Rockaway Beach, carried the casket of Casey Skudin after an hour-long FDNY service at the Towers Funeral Home in Oceanside.

There were tears, hugs, speeches, music, and some laughs at an FDNY funeral service Friday for Casey Skudin, a member of a well-known Long Beach surfing family. Skudin was killed in a freak auto accident June 17 in North Carolina while on vacation with his wife and two sons.

East Atlantic Beach man is honored for WWII service

By BRENDAN CARPENTER bcarpenter@liherald.com

Nearly 80 years after his service in the Army in World War II, William Kellerman, of East Atlantic Beach, has finally been honored as a hero at a ceremony at Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn.

Keller man, now 97, was stunned but happy. It was as if, he said, he was “in a dark room and someone finally turned a light on.” He received a Purple Heart and a Prisoner of War Medal during a ceremony at the fort on Tuesday.

During the war, Kellerman was shot, and held by the Germans as a prisoner of war. His

medals took so long to be presented to him because, for years, people found his story hard to believe, or didn’t consider him a POW because he escaped from the Nazis before being sent to a prison camp.

But his daughter, Jean Powers, fought for decades for his wartime recognition, writing letters and making calls to get her father’s story heard. She was dismissed by the Veterans Administration, but got in touch with Florent Plana, a French native who studies World War II history, who recorded Kellerman’s oral history for over three hours.

Powers was eventually told that her father’s war files had

burned in a fire at a military post in St. Louis.

He was recognized for his service by the military, and in 2018, he, his daughter and granddaughter traveled to Normandy, France, where he was named a Chevalier de la Légion d’honneur, a knight of the

French Legion of Honor.

Kellerman grew up in the Bronx, and in 1943, at age 18, he enlisted in the Army. He was among the troops who landed on Utah Beach in Normandy on June 11, 1944, five days after D-Day. He remembers seeing dead soldiers still lying on the sand.

That July 4, the radio broke in

his headquarters, and his captain ordered him to find a colonel and “ask what we should do.”

Kellerman set off running, but eventually ran into the path of a German tank, which had its guns pointed right at him. He put his hands up and was taken prisoner.

McInnis, council president, relies on team jbernstein@liherald.com; bcarpenter@liherald.com

Karen McInnis once asked a boss what her job title was.

He said, according to her, “It’s Getting S…Done.”

That was some years ago, but that jocular “job title” has remained with McInnis, the 51-year-old president of the Long Beach City Council, who was elected to the council in November, 2019, and became its president this past January, replacing John Bendo who remains on the council but served two years as president.

McInnis is only the second woman to be council president, following Anissa Moore, who was elected to the council in 2015 as its first African-American. Moore is now a deputy Nassau County Executive.

Told that it is now the McInnis Council, as opposed to the Bendo council, McInnis flatly rejected the notion.

“Everyone has a different style,” she said in a telephone interview. “It’s not the McInnis council. It’s the city council..

Growing up, I played a lot of team sports.

I always knew I was better on a team.”

McInnis said this is the way she runs the council. She was a softball pitcher, she said, “but I always needed my teammates.”

The city council has had a busy six months under McInnis: ■ It has settled the $151 million suit filed against the city by the developer Sinclair Haberman. Long Beach will pay Haberman $75 million and allow the developer to build two 13 ½-story apartment building on Shore Road. The suit had dragged on unsettled for three decades as previous

■ The council approved a 2022-’23 budget that carried a 4.96 percent tax hike.

McInnis said she was not happy about the tax hike but the council and city officials said it was needed to cover the costs owed in separation pay to retired former employees, police and fire fighters. McInnis said that what was significant about the budget as it that it required no borrowing a “substantial departure” from previous years.

■ McInnis was instrumental in retaining city manager Donna Gayden, who was hired in 2020, just months before the Covid pandemic swept the country. Under

McInnis the council approved a contract extension for Gayden that will keep her in the role until the end of 2023. Gayden, a municipal financial expert, is largely credited with engineering the Haberman settlement.

At council meetings, McInnis is firm and business-like, once shepherding the body and the audience through four lengthy public hearings. “We can get through this, folks,” she said.

“I’m just one member,” she said in an interview earlier this week. “But I feel I helped the council establish its role and responsibilities.” But, she said, she and other council members rely heavily on the city’s professional staff members, such as the comptroller and city manager.

“They work all of the time, so that I can sleep at night,” she said.

Council member Liz Treston said he enjoys working with McInnis “I think of Karen as the captain of our team,” Treston said. “Just like a captain, she knows our strengths and weaknesses.

She knows what we’re good at and where to send us to learn to be better council people and better listeners to the community.”

“The majority of the people don’t realize things are starting to change. The city finances over the last two years has gone up significantly. Karen has been influential in that.”

“She also has a wicked sense of humor that no one sees,” Treston added.

Councilwoman Tina Posterli, who was just elected in November, said, “President McInnis is dynamic and strategic. She recognizes we are a team of five who along with the administration, share the common goal of moving the City forward. That comes across in how she leads in her role as president, with a keen focus on working together.”

McInnis’s father was a union carpenter and she was raised in the Bronx and lived in Valley Stream. She was a Triple Variety player at Valley Stream Central High School and later a softball pitcher at SUNY Binghamton. She graduated the University at College Park, Md., and St. John’s, majoring in government.

She is chief financial officer at the Association of American Publishers, a non-profit that represents book, journal and education publishers on law and policy.

She bought a house in Long Beach in 2014 and remarried.

McInnis once worked at The Topps Company, which makes sports cards and chewing gum. There, she asked her boss what her title was. He answered her.

Former resident lends a hand to Ukrainian refugees

By SuSAN SANToRo Americans have become accustomed, unfortunately, to seeing wars break out all over the world. We watch the news and think to ourselves, “oh those poor people.”

The Russian invasion into the Ukraine was yet another example. However, one night the news showed a 12-year-old boy crossing into Poland by himself to go and stay with extended family living there.

The next day, I looked into volunteer organizations in Poland to help with children in these situations. Through a Polish organization entitled Wolontariusze Ukraina CW Krakow, I was led to Global Volunteers. I put my name on the list and was emailed a few weeks later.

On May 27, I arrived at the Warsaw Chopin Airport, was picked up with some other volunteers, and driven 90 minutes east to a small rural area outside the town of Siedlce. We were housed at Reymontowka House, built for the Rózanski’s family in the middle of the 19th century, about 110 miles from the Ukrainian border.

My mornings began with teaching English at a Polish grammar school about 30

The younger ones did not speak much English while the 7th and 8th graders knew a bit more. The younger ones were happy singing simple American songs while the older grades

were very interested in American pop culture. During one fifth grade class, the children were shown unusual architectural buildings around the world and were then asked to draw their dream house. One boy shared his drawing which looked like a

castle, with the Polish flag on one turret and the Ukrainian flag on the other. He said it was to show the unity between the two countries.

Afternoons we hosted the Ukrainian mothers and children at Reymontowka.

They were being housed at different shelters and were dropped off. Some of the volunteers watched the children while others stayed with the mothers, giving them some free time to do whatever they wanted- baking, dancing, talking. One afternoon, a 14-year-old girl was holding a Magic 8 Ball, not knowing what it was. I told her if you ask it a question, turn it over and it will respond. She then asked the Magic 8 Ball, “If I go back to Ukraine, will I be killed?”

Another day I was sent to a shelter as they needed to have some furniture assembled. It was housed in an abandoned school building. To say it was bleak was an understatement, but the children and mothers were at least safe. While I assembled furniture, many young children came into the room and would hug me and my fellow volunteers. This had to be my toughest day.

Mourners include Ladder 137 firefighters continued from front page Beach, lined up outside the Towers Funeral Home in Oceanside for an hour-long service that included remembrances of Skudin’s life growing up in Long Beach, his time as a firefighter, a Hempstead lifeguard, and his deep devotion to his wife, Angela, and their sons, Ben and C.J. Skudin, who would have been 46 on Father’s Day, died when a 2,000-pound tree limb slammed into his car during an intense windstorm. He and his family were driving into the Biltmore Estate, a tourist resort, when the incident occurred, according to North Carolina police. Angela Skudin was uninjured, but C.J. suffered a neck injury and wore a neck brace to his father’s funeral. Ben was briefly knocked unconscious.

Skudin, a highly decorated firefighter who joined the department after the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center, was described as a hero who had made numerous rescues in the waters off Rockaway Beach and also during Superstorm Sandy in Long Beach.

He was an athlete, a bartender and a husband and father who put his family above all else.

“If you were in trouble, Casey was the guy you wanted around,” said Brian Walsh, who grew up with Skudin and served with him at Ladder 137. Walsh and Skudin surfed together and remained close all of their lives, Walsh said.

“He was humble about everything,” Walsh said. “No one needed to know” what he did.

Evan Davis, also a firefighter stationed at Ladder 137, said it was “almost impos-

An FDnY oFFicer presented Casey Skudin’s fire helmet to his widow, Angela. sible” to say “just a few words” about Casey Skudin. He said Skudin sometimes had the responsibility of deciding on the menu at the firehouse, a job that requires patience and tact.

“Every firefighter has an opinion, straight mustard, or yellow mustard?”

Davis said. “After our firehouse (in Rockaway Beach) was destroyed in Sandy, it was all re-built but Casey had to decide where to put the new couches. It was a major decision.

“But what inspired me most about Casey was his devotion to his family.”

The media was not invited into the Towers Funeral Home, as the family

sought privacy. But speeches were broadcast to the large parking lot outside. An FDNY fire truck was stationed outside the funeral home, with Skudin’s name inscribed on its side.

Davis noted that Skudin was highlyintelligent, earning a degree in marine biology from the University of North Carolina in Wilmington.

Fire Capt. Mike Romano met Skudin when both were 16 and working as lifeguards. Romano remembered a hectic teenage life, working, trying to meet girls, and pondering the future.

“Most of us gravitated to the fire department,” Romano said. “Most of us

got married and had kids at about the same time. We were always all together.

Ask Angela. She says Casey is still here.”

C.J. Skudin, 10, brought down the house with a few jokes about their family life and relationship.

He said, “He definitely spoiled me a lot.” He said his dad had a big appetite, but that he had an even bigger appetite.

Finally, he said. “My father was a good guy. My first job is going to be a lifeguard and I will be a firefighter.”

When it came to Angela Skudin’s turn to speak, there were tears and smiles.

Angela Skudin is well-known in Long Beach as the owner of Codfish Cowboy, a clothing and novelty shop on the West End. She said her husband was “a life-saver.

Casey was my everything. He was my lover, my husband, my bill-payer, my accountant, my chauffeur, my favorite person in life.

“If Casey was in your obit, it was a safe place to be. Being a father was everything to him. Being my husband was everything to him. Being your friend was everything to him.”

Skudin’s flag-draped casket was carried out of the funeral home and put aboard an FDNY truck for a private burial ceremony in Queens. A lone bagpiper played a dirge as muffled drums rumbled in the background and firefighters stood at attention.

The fire truck rolled out of the parking lot.

“Because Casey was here, I was loved fiercely,” Angela Skudin said. “No physical death can end that.”

Paddle-out honors Skudin, a lifelong waterman

By BrenDAn cArPenTer bcarpenter@liherald.com

Hundreds of Long Beach residents, friends, families, surfers and firefighters gathered with their surfboards at Lido West Beach Park on a sunny Sunday to honor Casey Skudin, who died last week in a freak car accident.

Everyone gathered for a memorial paddle-out into the ocean. Before entering the ________________

water, the Skudin family spoke to the crowd about Casey and his life and to thank everyone for showing support.

“It is a great honor to have everyone here,” said C.J. Skudin, Casey’s son.

“Everyone I wished would be here is and some strangers, which is fine.”

Casey’s wife, Angela, spoke next, thanking everyone in attendance for coming, saying it shows that “everyone felt how I felt about Casey.”

“He saved my life twice,” Angela said about Casey.

“On the day he met me and once the day he died.”

Casey was a firefighter, father, CrossFit coach, lifeguard, friend and husband, Angela said, and that everything he did was important to him.

The Skudin family led a moment of silence briefly before Will Skudin, Casey’s cousin, gave instructions for the paddle-out. “Casey wouldn’t want a disconnected circle,” he said. “He would want everyone connected.”

People then paddled out to the designated spot as bagpipes were played from the beach. When people made it to the spot, they created the circle around Casey’s wife, Angela, and their two sons, C.J. and Ben, who sat on a personal watercraft in the middle.

The family spread flowers and some of Casey’s ashes into the ocean.

Community leaders divided over abortion Harvey Weisenberg, a former state assemblyman, Long Beach police officer, teacher and at 86, the city’s oldest working lifeguard, has developed a unique perspective on the issue of abortion.

Two decades ago, he adopted a special child, Ricky, who he showers with love.Weisenberg cannot imagine allowing Rickey, now in his early 60s, to have been aborted. But he remembers his last assignment as a police officer decades ago: a woman lay in an alleyway after trying to abort her baby with a wire hanger. In her case, he had hoped an abortion in a hospital would have been possible. But that was years before the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe V. Wade decision, now overturned by a new decision by the high court last week.

“I was devastated that someone would have to do this,” said Weisenb e r g , o f t h e wo m a n . “ I re s p e c t both sides” of the issue. It is a decision made with God and the doctor. But in the end it is the woman’s decision.”

Weienberg was a member of the State Assembly when it approved legislation in 2011 allowing abortions in the state Weisenberg voted with the majority to

And, he said, “I follow the science.

Judi Vining, executive director of Long Beach Aware, was blunt. “I am appalled,” she said.

“My grandchildren will not have the same rights I had,” she said. “This is an agonizing decision.” She said “The only thing that can be done is for voters to elect candidates who support the now former Roe V Wade ruling. “ I ’ m n o t o p t i m i s t i c , ” Vi n i n g said. “But maybe this is the thing that turns people into activists.”

Rabbi Eli Goodman, spiritual leader of Chabad of the Beaches, said he plans on offering a course on the issue July 14 at the synagogue, at 570 West Walnut St. “I would like people to come to learn the importance of a fetus,” Goodman said. “It’s something we have to take very seriously.”

Rabbi Jack Zanerhaft of Temple Emanu-El of Long Beach, called the decision “a mistake.”

“It’s not reflective of the majority of the population in the United States,” Zanerhaft said. “It’s going to cause more harm than good. It doesn’t look like the consequences will be beneficial for the community.”

Hundreds Attend Herald Senior Health Expo

By ALEXA ANDERWKAVICH aanderwkavich@liherald.com Eager guests gathered at the Friedberg JCC in Oceanside to attend the Herald’s Senior Health & Beyond Expo, presented by Mount Sinai South Nassau and brought to you by United Healthcare, on Thursday, June 23.

The Expo is a communityanticipated event, where long-time loved and trusted businesses and facilities — as well as up-and-coming companies — share their products and services with Long Islanders.

Protests erupt after Roe v. Wade falls

By KARINA KOVAC kkovac@liherald.com

It started with a moment of silence.

Then screams. And then it was a furious rage.

That was the scene outside the Nassau County Courthouse in Mineola on Friday in the hours following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that is widely seen as overturning the U.S. Constitutional protection given to abortion access in 1973’s Roe v. Wade decision.

The 6-3 ruling found in favor of a 2018 Mississippi state law that banned most abortion procedures after the first 15 weeks of pregnancy. When it came to Roe v. Wade — and a 1992 ruling in Planned Parenthood v. Casey that reinforced that original decision — the court was more divided, with Chief Justice John Roberts joining the liberal minority. But that wasn’t enough to maintain the constitutionality of abortion access, losing 5-4.

Friday’s courthouse protest was organized by Long Island Rapid Response I Dissent Rally, which got a head start on the decision thanks to an unprecedented leak of the majority opinion last month.

Rally organizers believe some 36 states will now make abortion illegal.

New York will not be one of those states, however. The state legislature has already codified Roe v. Wade, keeping its abortion access intact. However, other states are expected to remove such access, including in pregnancies resulting from sexual assault and incest in states like Arkansas, Texas and Missouri.

Many states pre-empted the decision with so-called “trigger bans,” making abortion illegal there the moment the court removed its Constitutional protection.

“Oppressing access to reproductive health is a racial justice issue,” Nia Adams of the Long Island Progressive Coalition, told the courthouse crowd on Friday. “To add further insult to injury, the facts remain that Black maternity mortality rate in this country is four times higher for Black women than for our white counterparts.”

Ellen Meister is no stranger to such protests. Hailing from Jericho, she attended her first march in 1982 in Washington.

“It’s been a long time and I’m tired, but I’m here because it’s important,” Meister said. “I’m long past the age where it’s going to matter to me, but I care about women’s rights and bodily autonomy.”

She held up a sign with a bloodied coat hanger, symbolizing how society can’t go back to barbaric and unsafe methods of abortions.

“I wanted to make a really dramatic statement because this is reality,” Meister said. “People are going to die.”

But not everyone was disappointed in the decision. U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin, who is seeking the Republican nomination for governor, called the court’s decision a “victory for life, for family, for the Constitution, and for federalism.”

“Today is yet another reminder that New York clearly needs to do a much better job to promote, respect and defend

life,” the congressman added.

Northwell Health released a statement soon after the decision, saying it was disappointed by the court’s ruling.

“This decision is a setback for women’s reproductive health. Our concern as the region’s largest health care provider is that this ruling will succeed in ending access to safe abortions and disproportionately cause harm to those who already have limited access to health care.”

Jay is worried about that as well. They held a sign at the rally declaring “abortion is trans health care,” telling a reporter how the transgender community continues to be excluded from the conversation.

“We’re not only women, even though women are very important to the conversation, obviously,” Jay said, “but I think it’s important to remember our marginalized communities that’re disproportionally affected by this.”

PROtesteRs ChANted ‘my body, my choice’ and ‘vote them out’ to cars driving along Franklin Avenue.

NIA AdAms fROm Long Island Progressive Coalition, speaks to some 200 people who gathered outside the Nassau County Courthouse in Mineola in the hours following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on abortion access.

There were opinions from all sides following last week’s U.S. Supreme Court decision on abortion rights, including fromn local lawmakers.

“The public health ramifications of this ruling will be enormous, especially for economically disadvantaged women who already struggle with access to health care,” Nassau County legislator Kevan Abrahams, a Democrat, said in a statement. “If we are to stop the backward slide that we are now witnessing in our nation, we must organize, mobilize and vote, because our freedom and personal liberty are at the top of the ballot.”

Anthony D’Esposito, a Republican on the Hempstead town council, told his Twitter followers that he was “strongly opposed” by the decision of state Democrats to “enact the nation’s most extreme abortion law, legalizing late-term and partial-birth abortion, allowing abortions to be provided by non-doctors,” and removing criminal penalties for what he described as “assaults on pregnant women,” causing “unborn child death.”

“Today’s decision by the U.S. Supreme Court neither upends that unpopular law, nor affects the ability of any woman in New York to have an abortion,” D’Esposito added.

“Here’s the truth,” said Josh Lafazan, a Democrat on the Nassau County Legislature, who is running for Congress. “Anti-choice extremists have demonstrated for years that they are willing to stop at nothing to get what they want.”

Hochul banks on finding jobs across New York state

LONG BEACH HERALD — June 30, 2022

There are more than 15,000 jobs — a record amount — posted on the state labor department’s seasonal job bank in a variety of industries from amusement parks to farms and restaurants and summer camps across every region.

The free state resource allows businesses to list employment opportunities, and job seekers can look at part-time and seasonal jobs by location, company, job title and by searching through keywords.

Guides for young people looking for work are available online to help them navigate what they need before filling out job applications. Divided by age groups — between 14 and 17, as well as 18 and 24 — the guides include information on obtaining working papers, the proper identification required, and even resume preparation.

“With such an active job market, there is a wide variety of options to explore across the state,” Gov. Kathy Hochul said, in a release. “I encourage all job seekers to use the many resources the New York State Department of Labor offers to guide them to a job they love.”

Part-time work is a vital component to help the state’s economy recover from the Covid pandemic, according to labor department commissioner Robert Reardon. It provides a boost to job seekers, such as helping them return to a previous career that might not have full-time posi-

KATHY HOCHUL tions available. It also allows those same job seekers to try a new career or a different position, or even learn new skills while working.

Such work also offers flexible schedules to accommodate child or elder care needs, and provides support and job networking opportunities.

“In this tight job market, we’re looking to make it as easy as possible for businesses with full-time, part-time or seasonal openings to connect with New Yorkers looking for work,” Reardon said, in the release.

For the job bank, go to SeasonalWorks. labor.ny.gov.

For the guides, go to DOL.ny.gov/youthages-14-17 or DOL.ny.gov/youth-ages-18-24.

FirstNet donation gives Safety Town new life

By STAFF REPORT FirstNet, Built with AT&T, has donated $110,000 to the Nassau County Police Department Foundation so it can renovate and refurbish its Safety Town education facility in East Meadow.

First opened in 1972 and operated by the police foundation, Safety Town is an educational center and miniature village that provides children with a variety of public safety learning experiences. Each year, more than 10,000 third-graders from across Nassau County visit Safety Town, and are taught traffic, pedestrian and bicycle safety by police department crossing guards — first in a classroom, and then through a unique “hands-on” experience using bicycles and miniature electric vehicles.

A 10-year analysis of bicycle accidents in Nassau found that children who attended Safety Town were 10 times less likely to be involved in an accident than a child who did not receive training, according to a release.

FirstNet’s support allowed the police foundation to revitalize the aging center, to help it be ready in time for National Safety Month in June. This included removing and replacing more than 20 dilapidated buildings within Safety Town, adding professional landscaping throughout the campus, and repairing and beautifying other critical infrastructure elements.

FiRSTNET, BuilT By AT&T, donated $110,000 to the Nassau County Police Department’s Safety Town, helping provide the 50-year-old East Meadow facility with a much-needed upgrade to help teach children traffic safety for years to come.

The new and improved Safety Town was carefully planned to ensure children can learn traffic safety for another 50 years, officials said.

“Safety Town is a very important piece of community training for the NCPD,” police commissioner Patrick Ryder said, in a release. “At 50 years old, it was in a

desperate need for a renovation.”

FirstNet is a dedicated, nationwide communications platform designed to upgrade public safety communications with new capabilities that support incident response from first responders. FirstNet is designed to allow these public safety professionals to connect to the critical information they need every day, and in an emergency, help keep them — and their communities — safe.

Advancing public safety was the core mission of FirstNet when the First Responder Network Authority and AT&T joined forces.

“Now five years since its launch, that mission continues to inspire us to support initiatives and programs like Safety Town who share a commitment to creating safer communities and keeping our kids safe,” said Judy Cavalieri, vice president and general manager of AT&T New York.

“We are proud to support this program.”

“Having gone to Safety Town as a child, I am especially happy that the foundation is continuing this tradition,” said Eric Blumencranz, chair of the Nassau County Police Department Foundation.

“We are grateful for the generous support from FirstNet, Built with AT&T, that brought this important community training facility into the 21st century. Safety Town is vital to building relationships between law enforcement and youth, and we are proud to be involved in such an important endeavor.”

LocaL government and health officials gathered to promote the inclusion of fentanyl testing strips in drug treatment kits used by first responders, including Keisha GrahamWilson of Central Nassau Guidance and Counseling Services, Dr. Sharon Harris of Substance Abuse Free Environments, Legislator Arnold Drucker, Legislator Debra Mulé, Claudia Rotondo of the Baldwin Council Against Drug Abuse, Jeff Stone of Project Help Long Island, and Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton.

Counseling Services, said the agency has included fentanyl testing strips in its kits for the last several months.

“These test strips are so important in terms of preventing overdoses,” GrahamWilson said. “We have individuals that have told us they are only using marijuana, but when we do toxicology, sometimes we have to tell them that the substance they are using is laced with fentanyl — and they are so shocked and surprised.”

Other recovery advocates and community leaders expressed support for the proposal.

“Providing these strips could be lifesaving,” said Claudia Rotondo, executive director of the Baldwin Council Against Drug Abuse. “It would give us the ability to test the remnants of the substance that was ingested to see if it was cut with fentanyl.”

“The DEA warned several months ago that fentanyl was a driving force behind the majority of overdoses that have transpired in the last year,” said Dr. Sharon Harris, executive director of the Glen Cove-based Substance Abuse Free Environments. “This is an incredibly important piece of information that needs to be promoted to educate our youth and our families about what is going on.”

The legislation is currently in committee, but could be part of the next available legislative agenda in mid-July.

LONG BEACH HERALD — June 30, 2022

Flanked by community leaders and recovery advocates on the front steps of the Theodore Roosevelt Executive & Legislative Building, county legislators unveiled proposed legislation recently intended to require the inclusion of fentanyl-detecting test strips in opioid overdose treatment kits distributed by Nassau County agencies.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency describes fentanyl as a synthetic opioid that is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. Consuming fentanyl-laced drugs — often unbeknownst to the user — has resulted in reported massive increases in overdose deaths among opioid abusers.

Including fentanyl testing strips with these treatment kits — known by its brand name, Narcan — would serve as a low-cost way of potentially identifying tainted drugs and preventing accidental overdoses, county officials said. The strips would cost $1 each.

“Fentanyl has dramatically raised the stakes of our ongoing battle to conquer the opioid drug addiction crisis,” Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton said. “Distributing these strips will give residents another tool for preventing the devastation caused by fatal overdoses.”

Using Narcan to help treat an opioid overdose has been life-saving, Legislator Debra Mulé said.

“Pairing fentanyl detection testing strips with the Narcan kits we distribute is a common-sense way for Nassau County

HOME Of tHE WEEK

• To place an ad call 516-569-4000 press 5

Q. We’re retired, and live part of the year in Florida and part in New York. Eventually we plan to sell. Recently we had our kitchen redone, and had to make changes to a closet to make more room.

Twenty-plus years ago we took down a wall and enlarged the kitchen, and I’m hearing that it was supposed to have a permit. The contractor was a big outfit that has commercials on TV, and I’m sure they got us a permit for the work. I understand that it may come up when we sell. Is this true and how do we know if there was a permit? We looked everywhere, but can’t find one? What should we do?

Bayfront Living At Its Finest

T

his home of the week is a beautifully renovated contemporary bayfront home featuring 6 large bedrooms and 4 full baths, situated on a double lot with an open floor plan. The kitchen boasts beautiful marble and imported tile. There is a large Trex deck off the master suite. This home has tons of closet space, including a cedar walk-in closet. There are custom wall to wall lighted dining room cabinets. A Trex deck and brick patio surrounds your own bayfront in-ground heated Gunite pool.

You will enjoy a private dock on Reynolds Channel, with 2 boat slips and new navy bulkhead with custom hurricane-proof glass railings. There are waterfront views from every room. This is a designer home with tile and woodwork by European craftsmen, and only seconds to the ocean.

A. There is always the chance, especially in tighter economic times, that a lending bank inspector will be looking more carefully at what was done, in comparison with the original plans for the house. I often get desperate calls from people who’ve just been given two weeks to get a permit for something done many years ago. People generalonte eeper ly don’t understand how long each step in a legalization process takes.

There is even the tease of an express permit by some building departments. I use the word tease because you and the architect are being set up for disappointment if the person reviewing the plans Tom Tripodi Tripodi | Shemtov Team finds one note they want added or a dimension, etc.

opinions

s a former elected official, I am frequently asked who has the toughest job in America. Most often, I answer either President Biden or New York City Mayor Eric Adams. But after watching three of the hearings of the Jan. 6 committee, I’ve decided that Attorney General Merrick Garland has the most difficult job in America.

Over the next six to nine months, Garland must decide whether he will charge former President Donald Trump with a variety of election JERRY law criminal violations. No former KREMER president has ever faced criminal charges related to their actions while in office. President Nixon was close to being indicted for a variety of federal crimes in 1974, but that August he announced his resignation.

There is no doubt that by the time the House Select Committee on the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol finishes its witness presentations, it may have enough criminal evidence to turn over to the attorney general, with a recommendation that he take formal action against

L

Trump. But charging a former president with a crime could further divide an already bitterly divided country, and might inflame the relative handful of crazies who are ardent Trump supporters.

As the hearings come to a close, the media will focus on the fate of the former president, but there are many other people who may wind up in handcuffs in a federal courtroom. The logical targets could be the large group of people who claimed to be presidential electors for Trump in Arizona, Georgia and Michigan, states that Biden won in the 2020 election. Their fake certificates were even sent to the National Archives.

The next potential defendants could be former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and attorney John Eastman.

Guliani and his team appeared in multiple courtrooms throughout the country, falsely arguing that the election had been stolen, but those arguments were hollow and failed in more than 60 cases. Eastman is alleged to have created the plot to overturn the counting of the ballots on Jan. 6, which he peddled to Trump on many occasions after the election. Eastman has since invoked the Fifth Amend-

W

ment more than 100 times.

Are there others who could wind up wearing prison jumpsuits? During questioning at the fourth Jan. 6 committee hearing, the names of two Republican members of Congress surfaced. A staff member of Sen. Ron Johnson, of Wisconsin, and Rep. Andy Biggs, of Arizona, were alleged to have asked Vice President Mike Pence to accept a list of fake electors and reject legitimate electors. Both Johnson and Biggs could be charged with fraudulent efforts to overturn a legitimate election. They may be joined by at least six other House members, whose names will be made public in the coming weeks.

Garland is wrestling with the right and wrong of charging a former president with federal crimes, along with the national implications of such a decision.

But I would guess that if the tables were turned, and the election manipulation had been done by a former Democratic president, a Republican attorney general, such as William Barr, would please his client, the Republican president, by moving ahead with a criminal case.

Is there another scenario that all of us may have overlooked?

ill Attorney General Garland charge a former president with federal crimes?

A federal grand jury has been impaneled in Fulton County, Georgia, and has heard testimony from Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, whom Trump asked to “find 11,780 votes,” which would make Trump the winner in Georgia. The request by Trump could be found to be a criminal attempt to change the results of the election, and subject him to criminal charges.

No matter what your political leanings are, the Jan. 6 investigation has unveiled cold, hard facts about how Trump conducted himself in the days and weeks after his loss in November 2020.

While the vast majority of Americans were going about their business, a small group of attorneys and elected officials were working around the clock to burn the Constitution and turn this country over to a president who refused to accept his defeat. In the end, there may not be jail terms for anyone but the rioters at the Capitol, but it is impossible to whitewash history, no matter how hard the Republicans try.

Jerry Kremer was a state assemblyman for 23 years, and chaired the Assembly’s Ways and Means Committee for 12 years.

Engaged! Finding love in the pandemic.

illybee and Don are tying the knot.

In an unintended romantic consequence of the pandemic, my husband and Lillybee, daughter of Sinbad el Amante Suave and Ivy of Chickadee Cotons, are making it official.

After nearly three years of relative isolation, with no doggie play dates and no dog park, they are inseparable.

Their path forward: together.

As the third leg of this domestic canine cluster, I will speak now in protest or be comRAnDi pelled to forever KREiss hold my peace (an unlikely scenario).

For starters, Lillybee’s pedigree is much finer than my husband’s. She came from a dam and sire raised by boutique breeders in Oregon and Arizona. Don is from Brooklyn. His parentage goes back to various anonymous Hungarian horse traders who sailed to America in steerage. Lillybee flew first class from Arizona. And she can trace her heritage back to great-grandparents Fozzie T. Bear of Amanda Sue

Cotons and Yankee Doodle Dandelion of Windy Hills Cotons.

Then there is the age disparity. Don is 76, and Lillybee is 35 in dog years. She weighs 13 pounds. He weighed that at birth.

In the beginning we were the classic trio, older couple and new pup. Truthfully, we figured she would be our last pup, given the average human life span and the projected life span of a small dog. We hoped to pretty much finish up at the same time.

Lillybee, like her cohorts, is a personality. She raises her nose in the air and tests the wind. She assesses which advantages she can push. She’s clever, that girl, and without ethics of any kind. I guess you could say she is purely transactional. Give her something and you get something.

When my husband was working and I was at home doing the dog training, Lillybee learned to sit for a treat, lie down, come when called and go to her place on a mat in the corner of the kitchen while we ate our meals. She never “demand” barked, which is an obnoxious trait wherein a dog barks loudly and inces-

A

santly in your face for something — food or attention or a walk. Not acceptable!

The idea is that after training for good behavior with tons of treats to sweeten the pot, the dog will adopt the good behavior even without a treat.

It did not take long for us to realize that Lillybee does nothing for nothing. If you want her to sit and you aren’t prepared to offer her a sizable piece of dried sweet potato, you are barking up the wrong tree.

Training her was exhausting. You could almost hear her thinking, “I don’t have to sit. But I’ll do it if you give me one of those compressed chicken weenies.”

She was always an alpha dog, and she landed with us, a Triple A alpha couple. Still, her life in our home was rewarding and fun and fully inclusive of us as a trio.

Then the pandemic hit, and we and she were completely isolated. Don and I spent many more hours at home. He retired. We didn’t travel much, and she had been accustomed to riding in airplanes zipped into a canvas bag under the seat. She was a get-up-and-go dog.

At the beginning of the pandemic,

s the isolation deepened, the husband and the dog became inseparable.

there were rumors that dogs could carry the virus and advice not to let them into a sick room. We didn’t know how strict to be, so we just kept her inside with us, except for walks. There was a lot of togetherness; since we couldn’t see our grandkids, Lillybee was the main event.

She began to “demand” bark.

Don began to give her extra treats. Not just chicken weenies and dried sweet potato, but shreds of salmon at $18 a pound and the occasional peanut. I’m not saying he’s not a naturally lovable guy, but soon Lillybee would not leave his side. No going to her “place” during meals. He pulled out a chair for her at the table and she would gaze longingly into his eyes, clearly praying for him to drop a crumb.

He started to think it was personal, not realizing that he’s only as good as his supply of dried liver. He decided to increase her stash of toys, even buying two stuffed duckies in case one of them got dirty.

Then, I heard him call her “darling,” as in “Darling, want a belly rub?” That was when I realized this wasn’t just a fling.

I heard they’re registered at Bloomingdales.

The Declaration of Independence was first published on July 6, 1776, in a newspaper, the Pennsylvania Evening Post. We are proud to commemorate that high point in American journalism by reprinting that historic document.

W

hen in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. e has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at

H

places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness of his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws of Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislature.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their acts of pretended legislation: For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from Punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing taxes on us without our consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our Government: For suspending our own legislature, and declaring themselves invested with Power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy of the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free People.

Nor have We been wanting in attention to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends. e, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the Protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our Sacred Honor.

The Declaration was signed first by John Hancock, president of the Continental Congress, and then by 55 others representing the 13 original states.

oter fraud has been around since the creation of democracy, but that doesn’t make it right or mean we should allow it to continue or expand. Free and fair elections are the foundation of any free, self-governing country. Without them, you have nothing except the tyranny imposed by those who successfully manipulate the electoral process.

The latest assault on our voting mechanisms has a long history.

You could buy a vote with a round of drinks as practiced by the New York City DemoRONALD J. crats of Tammany of the 1880s.

ROSENBERG Hall And voting from the grave? Louisiana’s governor of the 1930s, Huey Long, reportedly said, “When I die, I want to be buried in Louisiana, so I can stay active in politics.” Others have used a variety of frauds, including bribes, intimidation and poll taxes to redirect election outcomes.

But in the 21st century, we are facing a far more insidious and systemic corruption of our balloting. Today, would-be electoral fraudsters want to entirely abolish the requirement of voting in person with identification, in favor of allowing voting

by mail or an absentee ballot merely for the asking.

Requiring ID and other laws designed to ensure the integrity of elections do not suppress the vote, as President Biden and others have falsely asserted. Last month’s Georgia primary saw record turnout for early voting — nearly triple the level in 2018 level and 212 percent more than in 2020, a presidential election year.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a bill earlier this year that, dangerously, allows New Yorkers who are concerned about getting Covid to vote this year by absentee ballot. Some political pundits believe that, much like their clumsy and illegal gerrymander of election districts, this is one more instance of those on the left seeking to undermine the integrity of our elections so they can gain a political advantage at the expense of democracy.

It’s not as if New York voters aren’t wise. They sent a loud and unequivocal message last November when they voted down a proposed constitutional amendment that would have allowed no-excuse absentee voting.

As the political cycle heats up with a double-barreled primary calendar, it is important to understand that voting by mail and unlimited absentee voting is a

To the Editor: My husband and I very much enjoy Randi Kreiss’s writing in the Herald. I am a 67-year-old semi-retired biomedical research immunologist who refuses to “retire.” I am no longer doing bench research, and am now involved in global health, community engagement — and creative writing. Some of my pieces have been featured in low-profile venues like medical school and community arts publications.

Like so many others, I was devastated after the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas.

My emotions drove me to write this poem, which I entitled “Failure.”

FRANCES SANTIAGO-SCHWARz, Bayville Failure Failure to protect the sacred nest Squashing laughter with a single burst Cries of joy no longer physical Now deep in the soul, inextinguishable Remembering loss of one so beautiful A single burst multiplied by many From a haunted soul on the devil’s journey Failure to validate loss of life

serious threat that undermines confidence in the integrity of the outcome.

“Ballot harvesting” has become a thing: Paid operatives are sent door to door, offering to transport individuals’ mail-in ballots to the Board of Elections. One suspects that these concerned defenders of democracy may well check your party affiliation before deciding whether the next stop is the ballot box or the dumpster.

In California, no less, the practice was recognized as being so egregious to democracy that after it was made legal in 2016, it was subject to serious restrictions.

California “has since made it illegal to get paid per ballot collected,” The Washington Post reported, “and for employers to ask employees to bring their ballots into their workplace.”

Another dimension to ballot harvesting that harms the integrity of absentee voting is the ability of the paid operative to make a last-minute argument about why you should vote one way or another.

This kind of pressure is why our polling places have restrictions on how close candidates can campaign.

If our democracy is to stand the test of time, the Covid-imposed ability to vote remotely needs to be curtailed and

restricted to those who legitimately cannot make it to the polling place on Election Day. It isn’t too much of an ask for a concerned and engaged citizenry to find the will and the means to physically make it to the ballot box one day a year.

Those who argue that these options increase participation in our election process will have to make a far more cogent case, because the jury is still out on that claim. An analysis by the Connecticut Mirror suggested that absentee voting has not brought a significant spike in participation. The Public Policy Institute of California reported a similar finding. So one can legitimately ask, what is the real reason to expand absentee and remote voting, who is pushing that agenda, and why?

As we reflect on the priceless gift of democracy, we should consider who should be given the unchallenged right to offer absentee ballots. The immediate and obvious answer would be our fellow Americans in uniform, who are defending the nation. Those patriots earn the right to an absentee ballot with their blood and valor.

What’s the left’s excuse?

Failure to secure what is possible Without agenda Withdrawing hate Loss of life, not by mistake Unforgivable denial of all that’s at stake

A queen? No, but more British TV! To the Editor: My wife and I enjoyed Randi Kreiss’s column “Is our democracy becoming a royal pain?” (June 16-22). I don’t think we Americans necessarily need a king or queen, but everyone would benefit from more British television! We began subscribing to streaming Acorn and BritBox several months ago, and we watch the same mysteries Randi mentioned, plus some others.

We currently alter nate between “Vera,” “A Touch of Frost,” “Midsomer Murders,” “Inspector Morse” and “Foyle’s War.” “Foyle’s War” is particularly interesting, as it introduces the viewer

to many aspects of wartime, home front Britain. We also devoured the whole “Shetland” series quickly — we traveled to Shetland and Fair Isle a few years ago, so the series was a must-watch for us.

Again, thanks, Randi, for the thought-

ful and humorous column. P.S.: I agree with you on Boris Johnson, but British food is really pretty good!
