The Grist Mill Museum is a gem of East Rockaway history with efforts underway to breathe new life and money into the 325-year-old mill. Built by Joseph Haviland to help create a shipping and trading center, the Village of East Rockaway acquired it in 1960. Soon after it was restored, it was moved from Mill River to its current loca tion in Memorial Park, soon becoming the museum known today.East Rockaway native and Grist Mill Museum chair Regi na Cunningham became involved with the museum in 2018. Having a passion for his tory after two weeks, she couldn’t get enough of what the museum had to offer. “I saw how there was so much history in that little building and I just enjoyed it,” Cunningham said. “What makes me happy is when new people come in after having gone away to different areas and they come back to the museum, saying they want it to keep staying open. I’d like to keep it up as long as I can.” The museum is open week ends from 1 to 5 p.m. in the summer and displays include an old fire engine pump from the 1800s named Tootsie, along with Native American and bay exhibits, and school and store settings from the 19th to early 20thCunninghamcenturies. enjoys seeing community members amazed by the vast history of the museum. “Every time people come in, especially little kids, I show them things from back in the 1800s and I love seeing their joy,” she said. Entry to the museum is free, and being hundreds of year old, the museum requires peri odic maintenance and repairs. The mill’s annual Huckleberry Frolic goes a long way to help by raising money which goes to pay for any maintenance and repairs the museum needs. Cunningham, who now lives in Valley Stream, runs the museum every weekend it’s open. In 2020, she was given the role of the Huckleberry Frolic FrolicThischairperson.year’sHuckleberryraisedmorethan$5,000 for the museum. While the money raised will do a lot to help the museum, Cunning ham says more people need to get involved in organizing the annual Frolic. “It’s too much for one per son to do everything,” Cun ningham said. “In years past we had more people.”

Kiwanis help keep the tradition alive
3 202211,August—HERALDROCKAWAYLYNBROOK/EAST
By DANIEL OFFNER doffner@liherald.com It’s a summer tradition in East Rocka way. The sound of the engines roaring echoes across the water, as 30 to 50 classic muscle cars and hot rod enthusiasts pull up along Main Street every Monday after noon, taking full advantage of the addi tional few hours of summer sunlight, to showcase their vehicles.
Richard Cittadino started the East Rockaway car show and cruise night about 12 years ago, in the hopes of bring ing the community closer together. “I started it on a whim,” Cittadino said. “I lived in East Rockaway since 1977, but since I moved away the Kiwanis took over the Cittadinoshow.”hosted the event for the first ten years as a way to fundraise for local children’s organizations including Mend ed Little Hearts, Little St. Nicks, Camp Anchor, the Nassau County Firefighters Burn Center Foundation, and the East Rockaway Education Foundation. Unfortunately, the coronavirus pan demic nearly wiped out the summertime tradition in 2020. Cittadino has since retired and moved from the village, how ever, he made sure to pass the torch over to the East Rockaway Kiwanis who have kept the spirit of the car show alive with the help of a local sponsor, Collision Depot in Oceanside, without whom there would be no event. It was during that time, when the future of the car show seemed uncertain, that Kiwanis President Michaelene Abbott-Cooper stepped up to the plate. “When we were younger, we used to have parades where you would see all these interesting and rare cars driving up Main Street,” Abbott-Cooper said. The event is held once a week on Mon days from 5 p.m. - 8 p.m., from the begin ning of June through the end of August. Each participant graciously donates $3 for the opportunity to display their car for the evening, while spectators are welcome free of charge. All of the proceeds raised by the events will help go towards providing graduating seniors with a scholarship for school. “The donation of our time gives us the recognition of our name,” Abbott-Cooper said, explaining how the event helps spread awareness of the local Kiwanis chapter and their many philanthropic efforts in the community. Robert Tice, an Island Park village trustee and notable car enthusiast, said that the event is all about camaraderie. “Everybody knows everybody,” Tice said, pulling up a seat next to his 2003 50th anniversary model Corvette. “We all meet up down here and talk about our cars and what we did to them this week. It doesn’t matter if it’s the newest or the oldest, if it’s yours, it’s yours.” He said that he owns several classic cars, mostly in all white, and continues to participate in the show each year. “I think it’s great,” Mike Betzag, a spectator from Rockville Centre, said. “There are a lot of nice cars here today.”

Since Cunningham’s involvement with the museum, she saw many people come and go from the committee due to retirement. The museum looks for new committee members vital to keeping the museum running. In the past, after having as many as ten committee mem bers, the Grist Mill museum is now down to four. The museum is one of East Rocka way’s’ historic treasure troves and Cunningham says that keeping the museum running is important for the community. “It’s a small place and it’s an accumulation of everything that was found in East Rockaway or around East Rockaway and there are not many places left that have a history like that.”During the last Huckleberry Frolic, the committee recruited a few people to help out this September when planning meetings begin for next year’s Frolic. “We’re putting the word out and we’re trying to see if we can get as many peo ple as we can,” Cunningham said. “It was a lot easier when there were 10 people, not 4 people.”
Preserving the history of East Rock away is the mission for the Grist Mill museum. This year, the museum will be open through the end of September after an influx of visitors. Cunningham hopes that more good news will be on the“Anyway. help we can get would be great because it’s a great place and when peo ple come and discover it, they’re very happy,” she said.

She earned her Bachelor’s degree in what was then referred to as “home econom ics,” concentrating on culinary and nutrition.Shecontinued her studies abroad, traveling the world and learning all she could about traditional French, Italian, Spanish, Moroccan, and Argentinean cuisines.Cooking has been part of her life one way or another ever since. After working short stints as a res taurant manager, product development lab technician, and test kitchen home economist, she spent the majority of her career as a food stylist and consultant across the tri-state region. The opportunity to pursue her dream finally arrived in 1999, when she found ed A La Carte, a cooking school and culinary service center that has been an integral part of the community for more than two decades. Even though the global health crisis caused her business to close, she has never let it stop her from doing what she loves. She enjoys spending time as an oncamera personality for Lynbrook TV. Back in 2012, she created the interactive video cooking program “A La Carte Live,” which she said was “ahead of its time.”More recently, she launched “Chow Lingo,” a virtual version of her in-per son cooking program for high school students, which has been enjoyed all across Long Island for many years. Her step-by-step instructional video classes can be found on her website Pol lyTalbott.com.Evergrateful for the opportunity to ignite a local interest in the culinary arts, she says she remains passionate about her mission statement — “to help people find more quality and satisfac tion in life by teaching them the rewards and pleasures of cooking and eating great food.” Talbott is in the process of finishing her first cookbook but is constantly embracing distractions.

Apart from cooking, Talbott enjoys ballroom dancing, traveling, theater, sailing, biking, and most of all, spend ing time with her grandchildren.

Could toll lanes fix parkway’s ‘Bloody Alley’?

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.

Mary Fahey and Judy-Ann Schatzel both received the honor of being named East Rockaway’s Women of Dis tinction. They each received a citation from Assembly woman Judy Griffin on July 28. Mary Fahey has lived in East Rockaway for the past 60 years. She is incredibly proud of raising 3 successful sons—Brendan, Patrick, and James. She says her family is very loving and close knit. She lives down the block from her brother and stays in contact with other family members, even if they are in other states. After losing her husband Brian, an FDNY firefighter who was killed in the line of duty in the Father’s Day Fire of June 2001, Mary worked exceptionally hard to provide for her family and community. Since 2013, Fahey has served on the Ministry of Conso lation at St. Raymond’s Church in East Rockaway. The ministry is dedicated to helping families plan their loved one’s funeral masses. In 2018, she also helped form, and still serves on, the St. Raymond’s Bereavement Minis try. This organization is set to help others who are trying to cope with the grief and sorrow of losing a loved one. Fahey became a New York State certified EMT in 2017 and joined the East Rockaway Fire Department as a medic. Just one year later, in 2018, she was asked to be a Fire Department Chaplain due to her passion, commit ment, and promise shown to the department. Fahey’s passion for helping the community derives from the tragedy she went through with the loss of her husband and the father of her children. “You can’t live through a loss like that and expect to be unchanged,” Fahey said. “You come out of it with a great er understanding and appreciation of what truly matters in life. For me, that was the need to give back. Once I made the decision to live a life with purpose, everything fell into place.”Judy-Ann Schatzel has been a resident of Bay Park in East Rockaway for last 30 years. She moved into her Grand mother’s house in 1992, where her father had lived until he met her mom. She is a single mother of a teenage daughter who has a talent for the arts. Although her father has passed, his memory is still strong within her. He was an EMS educator for numerous medical technicians across Long Island. Her mom is kind and compassionate, the heart of their family. When Schatzel is not spending time with her family, you can find her giving back to the community through herSchatzelwork. joined the East Rockaway Fire Department in November of 2015. A year and a half after joining she served as First Lieutenant. She then com pleted two years as Captain of the rescue squad. During her time with the department, she incorporat ed a learning sequence for new members to understand the department and hone their EMT related skills. The pack is updated to align with the changing needs of the new members of the Rescue Squad. This project showed her leadership and commitment to making the depart ment the best it could be. Schatzel also created and managed several practice drills on various subject matters. The drills incorporate learning from the newest certified member to the 30-year practicing technician. She also plans meetings to discuss skills for a variety of paramedic training levels. Currently, she serves as the second vice president for the Liberty House Company No. 2. She is positioned to be the first female and the first fire medic to serve as presi dent of the corporation. You ask, why the passion? Why the desire? When you look into the eyes of a husband where you saved his part ner of 50 years, or you calm a little girl after a traumatic family incident, when you see the look in those eyes, you will find the answers. Helping others feeds my soul,” Schatzel said.

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.

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.

21 202211,August—HERALDROCKAWAYLYNBROOK/EAST
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. Jerry Kremer was a state assemblyman for 23 years, and chaired the Assembly’s Ways and Means Committee for 12 years. He now heads Empire Government Strategies, a business development and legislative strat egy firm. Comments about this column? JKremer@liherald.com.

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.
Florida Gov. DeSantis: teachers need to be educated
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.”

JERRY KREMER
Veterans deserve all we can provide: emotional support, good pay, programs to help them re-enter civilian life and the same excellent standard of medical care that our office-holders enjoy. 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.

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.

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.

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.
