The father of an Orthodox Jewish table tennis player from West Hempstead has accused former Olympian Fei Ming Tong of harshly criticizing his daughter for her conservative style of dress at the U.S. National Table Tennis Championships in Fort Worth, Texas, in early July.Estee Ackerman, 20, has been playing table tennis since she was seven, introduced to the sport by her father, Glenn, who has been playing for more than 40 years. During her career, she has amassed several tournament victories and gold medals from the national championships. In 2013, she even beat tennis legend Rafael Nadal in a match of table tennis. For this year’s championships, Ackerman’s father got in touch with Tong, who represented Taiwan in table tennis in the 2000 Summer Olympics. The two parents arranged for Estee and Tong’s daughter, Lucy Chen, herself a highly accomplished player, to play together in the women’s doubles event on July 5. “We reached out to Fei Ming and Lucy,” Glenn Ackerman recounted. “We asked, ‘Would you like to play doubles with Estee?’ And they were agreeable to this.” The Ackermans had texted the Tongs asking for a practice session during the morning

LucAS XIAO Lu water polo player
Lucas Xiao Lu makes the Junior Olympics
The 14-year-old student from Malverne has developed a passion for water polo
By VIVIAN ROSE Intern 14-year-old Malverne resident Lucas Xiao Lu is no ordinary student. He has danced as an Alvin Ailey junior scholar. He has sung for the National Children’s Chorus. He played for Malverne High School’s junior varsity lacrosse and soccer teams. He has taken part in a summer research program with CUNY York College. Among these numerous high achievements, Lucas’ most recent has been competing in the Junior Olym pics for water polo. Lucas’ road to success during his water polo journey has been long and difficult, but he has def initely proved himself. Starting out, Lucas’ mother, Jian Xiao, would bring her son to a pro gram at the New York Athletic Club where she volunteered. The program would teach young kids different sports, and every two weeks switch to a new sport for the kids in the program to try. Lucas soon found a passion in water polo when he was just 7 years old. The game is, “super challenging,” he explained. “You have to constantly tread water. One of the rules is you cannot touch your feet to the ground of the pool.” It is a sport that requires one’s entire body to be in continuous motion to play properly. “You are always swimming back and forth, using your arms to throw the ball, and trying your best to rise up in the water.” However, Lucas’ mother explained how unique his interest in water polo is, and how challenging it can be to find avenues to compete in. “All across the state of New York, there are not many teams for water polo,” she stat ed. Clearly, Lucas has a real talent for water polo since he made it onto a qualifying team for the San Jose Junior Olympics.“There are two locations for the Junior Olympic Water Polo matches to take place,” said Xiao. “Either in Dallas, Texas or in San Jose, California.” She added that any junior Olympians could go to Dallas, but that teams had to qualify to play in San Jose. “The California teams always have had the advantage for water polo,” said Lucas’ mother. “The kids in New York practice in indoor facilities since it’s not always warm here, while the California teams practice outside. The New York kids weren’t used to playing outside,” she said. She noted additionally how, as it was so bright out side, the players from the New York team couldn’t see very well. Aside from that, California teams have always been the ones to play in Junior Olympic water polo matches. For a New York State team to even be consid ered is a rare occurrence. When in the pool, Lucas says he reminds himself of some of the strategies his coach would give to the team. “My coach would tell us to stay focused, make quick pass es, and something that has been forged in my mind by my coach has been no turnovers,” he said. One word to describe his coach, Scott Schulte, Lucas said, is emotion al. “During our matches in California, our coach would scream and get angry whenever we didn’t make a goal. Once he got a yellow card and had to have another dad calm him down.” The strong emotions from the team’s coach may seem excessive to some, but show his dedication to the team. “It’s his first time coaching,” said Lucas, commending Shulte’s dedication and how much he puts in for the team.After having completed an opportunity in the Junior Olympics, Lucas isn’t sure that he will pursue the Olym pics when he gets older. “I really want to focus on my aca demics,” said Lucas, “but it’s an option I’ll have to consid er for later Althoughon.”Lucas may not want to take on the pressure of the adult Olympics, just being in the Junior Olympics as a New York State water polo player is impressive enough. The Village of Malverne believes Lucas’ achieve ments are impressive as well, and will be giving Lucas a citation from Mayor Corbett at the September 7 Board of Trustees meeting.

Bischoff and his wife of over 50 years Marguerite have raised a network of children, grand children, and great grandchildren who hold them dear. Bischoff’s strength even rallied him through a battle with Covid. The visiting firefighters also took the occasion to present Bischoff with an award for 65 years of service. The honor was first granted at the department’s installation dinner, but Bischoff had been unable to attend due to Covid restrictions.

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.

While Estee generally wore less conser vative clothing in her youth when Tong coached her, Tong had also seen her play recently, he said. “About mid-May, Fei Ming was with us in Westchester at a tour nament,” he said. “She watched Estee. She thought Estee did quite well. And she saw exactly what Estee was wearing. “Here’s someone who we trust, who we like, who coached her, who’s very well respected in the world of table tennis. It puts someone to tears.” In her defense, Tong disputed the Ack ermans’ allegations. “Is he telling the truth? Certainly not,” she said of Glenn Ackerman’s accusations. “I don’t under stand why he’s doing this. Between me and her, there is no argument. If there’s something, he should have said some thing then and there to USA Table Tennis and we could have dealt with it. I don’t understand why, a month later, he’s say ing these things.” Tong asserted that there is no issue between her and Estee Ackerman, “She’s a lovely girl and I wish her all the best,” Tong said. “As a parent, as a teacher and with her as a student, there is no problem betweenTong’sus.”daughter went on to place first in the women’s under 17 division at the Fort Worth event.

There are players there with earrings, nose rings, tattoos. It’s inclusive, the tournament. It’s not like she’s wearing an evening gown and high heels. She’s wearing sneakers. Everything’s proper. So to me it comes across as big time discrimination.”

Numerous Hempstead aNd Nassau County officials joined in opposition to proposed elimination of express trains to LIRR’s Port Washington line.
Hempstead officials reject train reductions
Long Islanders taking the LIRR from stations Great Neck, Manhasset, Plandome, and Port Washington are advised that the MTA is consid ering removing express train service from the Port Washington line. This may serve as a signif icant delay to these LIRR riders traveling into New York City. Express service has been run ning on the Port Washington line for more than a century.Several town lawmakers – Mazi Melesa Pilip and Presiding Officer Richard Nicolello – have joined County Executive Bruce Blakeman, Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Jen DeSena, town council people, and numerous village may ors have committed to maintaining peak hour express trains for those who regularly ride the Port Washington branch, in part to get more cars off the Opponentsroad. of the change have stated that if the service is ultimately eliminated, it could greatly impact the way people in North Hemp stead will be able to have access to NYC. The pos sible elimination could mean longer time on trains for commuters, getting to and from trains, and could perhaps influence more people to drive into the city rather than taking the train. The Nassau County legislators opposing the change have further argued that driving invari ably means higher costs for commuters – tolls, gas, parking, and the soon coming commuter “congestion pricing” tax.

Malverne Mayor Keith Corbett com mended the reserves for their strong recruitment ability. “I’ve been through many municipalities throughout the state and across Long Island, and a lot of those municipalities are having issues with retaining volunteers,” the mayorRobertsaid.Oliva, chief of the Malverne Police Reserve, said the recruitment process has its ups and downs. “It var ies,” Oliva said. “I have an application in now that I’m waiting to get approved by the police department chief. Some times it comes in spurts, where you can get two or three at a time. Sometimes we can go on for six or eight months with nobody.”“It’sreally word of mouth,” said Lt. Chernoff. “The volunteers come to us most of the time. We’ll be someplace and meet people and sometimes we’ll say, ‘You know, maybe you want to be involved with us.’” Both Corbett and Chernoff credited the volunteer group’s success to Chief Oliva. “It’s a testament to you, Bob, that you can still recruit,” said Corbett. “We have the largest crew we’ve ever had. Thirty-five police reserve officers volun teer and come in to assist us in this vil lage.”“The police reserve is an organiza tion which is, of course, very successful because of our chief, Bob Oliva,” said Chernoff. “He is an amazing chief. He is a great leader for us. He’s exemplary. That’s probably what makes me so will ing to give them as much time and ener gy as I do.” chief credited with department’s success Kevin Brady Malverne’s reserve police officers and mayor have credited the department’s success to Chief Robert Oliva, second from right.

My brother’s questioning our renovation Q. My brother worked in construction but doesn’t now. He pointed out some potential problems with our renovation, and I wonder if they’re serious or not. One, there is only one 2 x 4 at the bottom of the wall studs, not two, which makes it more difficult to attach the tall baseboard we chose. Another is that most of the wall studs are 24 inches apart instead of 16, and bowed, not straight, and wallboard screws might miss the wood. My brother says this is a prob lem. Do you agree?

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

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.
inlistcongressionalKinzingerandCheneyAdamtopmyofprofilescourage.
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.”
Florida Gov. DeSantis: teachers need to be educated
Although Florida is facing a dire teacher shortage, the governor’s plan is disre spectful to both students and the veterans.
Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.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.

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.

Herald editorial
Protect democracy: Become an election protector d uring the traditional dog days of summer, many people are more apt to relax on vacation than to think about whom they plan to vote for in the upcoming elections, never mind how they can help ensure vot ers’ rights at the polling place. What was custom just a few years ago, however, has been tossed on the scrap heap, as early voting and the expanded use of absentee ballots have shifted vot ingNewhabits.census data led to a redrawing of political districts, upending the 2022 elec tionInseason.June,which has become the prima ry month in New York state in the past few years, there were gubernatorial and Assembly primaries. But because there was a brouhaha over how the congressio nal and state senatorial districts were drawn, the legal wrangling pushed those primaries to Aug. 23. With those votes approaching and the general election in November, it’s not just voting that is important, but protecting the right to vote as well. In this country, “one person, one vote” truly means that when a ballot is filled out, that vote will count. Whether it’s an election with a razor-thin margin between candidates or an overwhelming victory, we take for granted that every one’s vote counted. From local elections such as the 2021 race for Nassau County executive — in which Bruce Blakeman’s margin of victo ry over Laura Curran was 2,150 votes — to George W. Bush’s victory over Al Gore in the presidential election 21 years earli er that was decided by 537 votes in Flori da, every vote is consequential. And pro tecting that vote is essential. In order to safeguard the act of voting, we need election protectors. What are they? According to the Election Protec tion coalition organized by the political watchdog group Common Cause, an elec tion protector is a trained, nonpartisan onsite volunteer who can explain voting rules and help troubleshoot issues with voting. Election Protection is an effort to overcome what Common Cause describes as the “outdated infrastructure, rampant misinformation and needless obstacles to the ballot Commonbox.”Cause dates back to the Nixon administration, when it was found ed by John Gardner, a Republican cabinet member in President Lyndon B. John son’s administration. The initial push of Common Cause was to end the Vietnam War and lower the voting age in the U.S. from 21 to 18. Today, the nationwide coalition aims to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to vote, and that that vote counts. There are more than 300 local, state and national Election Protection partners, according to Common Cause. Whoa, you may think. Is this just another way for one political party to gain an advantage over the other? No. Signing on and learning how to be an election protector simply means you play a vital role in the most critical cog that makes this nation’s democracy work: vot ing.No matter which political party you are affiliated with, and no matter which political philosophy you are aligned with, you, as a citizen of this country, have the civic responsibility to take part in its gov ernment.Whenyou vote in an election, you exer cise your right to give voice to your opin ions. An election protector helps safe guard that right, which in turn safe guards our democracy. “The most important political office is that of the private citizen,” Louis Brandeis wrote over a century ago, early in a legal career that eventually took him to the U.S. Supreme Court. By becoming an election protector, you will serve a dual purpose: protecting the right of people to vote, while breathing life into Brandeis’s words.
letters Kudos to Hinman for his shipwreck research To the Editor: I liked Executive Editor Michael Hinman’s column, “Two heroes, and one captain who should’ve been ashamed,” last week. I’ve been the historian of the Village of Lynbrook for over 30 years, and am the author of “Water & Ice: The Tragic Wrecks of the Bristol and the Mexico on the South Shore of Long Island.” (The book is available on Amazon.)

N assau County’s ongoing mission to address the opioid addiction crisis is one of the most impor tant and most heart-wrenching issues I contend with as a mother and as the ranking member of the County Legis lature’s Health & Social Services Commit tee. This merciless and unforgiving scourge has touched nearly all of our lives.As the county sits on tens of mil lions of settlement dollars from the nation’s largest opioid drug manu facturers and dis tributors, Suffolk County has announcedalready plans for its share — a blueprint that was devised through the work of a transparent, bipartisan and collaborative advisory panel. To date, Nas sau County, in contrast, has offered little more than conceptual plans for using our share.Itis time to follow Suffolk County’s lead, so that these funds can get into the hands of agencies and entities on the front lines of our response to the addic tionOncrisis.July 26, Suffolk County announced that it would dedicate settlement funds received from opioid distrib utors

LETTERs FRAmEWORk by Tim Baker
Think they’d mind if we just sat in there and cooled off? — Norman Levy Preserve, Merrick story of the two wrecks is by far the most accurate of any I have seen — and I have seen many, including in Newsday. Aside from his mention of Ruth Bader’s article, which appeared on the Web after my book was published, Hinman seems to have based his story on sources identical to those I used (and cited) in my book. And it took me almost 10 years to find them. With such deep research, it is truly remarkable that he accomplished this despite never having come across either my book or my articles in the Herald. Those same organizations that hold the annual ceremony and I have applied to the Town of Hempstead for Landmark and Preservation status for the monu ment and the small remaining open space of the Mariners Burying Ground (the very space Ruth Bader mentioned). The cemetery operators are fighting our appli cation. It is a compelling struggle, well worth covering in the Herald.ART MATTSON Lynbrook What does Kremer see in Biden? To the Editor: I was very surprised at the paragraphs about President Biden in Jerry Kremer’s column “The country’s chief executive has the most thankless job” (July 28-Aug. 3). Kremer’s statements about President Biden are very confusing. He describes him as “one of the best foreign relations presidents,” yet Biden pulled all U.S. troops from Afghanistan in one of the worst military decisions ever. He’s taken the lead on the Ukraine War? When it comes to Ukraine, I can’t trust any decision by Biden. His son and his brother and probably himself have earned millions of dollars from this coun try, and are now under investigation. His decisions are compromised, at the very least, and he is spending money in Ukraine that we do not have. Biden recommitted the U.S. to the NATO alliance and returned us to the Paris Climate Agreement. This accord curbs the U.S. carbon foot print but allows China and India to use fossil fuels to their heart’s desire. Very unfair to the Domestically,U.S. the headaches our coun try now has, which Kremer claims landed on Biden’s desk and are not his fault, are all of his making. A major factor causing inflation is the closure of our energy-pro ducing pipelines and canceled energy leases, jacking up the prices of oil, gas, transportation, food, you name it. Our southern border? Millions of ille gal aliens are now trying to enter the U.S., mostly unvaccinated and untested for Covid-19 and inadequately vetted. Now involved in human trafficking, the drug cartels are Racism?flourishing.Bidenisbeholden to identity politics. He boasted about his Black and female running mate. Look where that got us. Crime? Violent crime is soaring in most major cities under his reign. Bad breaks? Biden’s job is to lead. He has a majority in Congress and he still can’t get things done. The media? They got him elected by hiding his son’s laptop story and allowing him to run for office from his basement. And now they’re pick ing on him? Wow. People like Kremer, with the platform he has, don’t hold Biden accountable. He made decisions, and he needs to own them. He is the president of the greatest country in the world, and needs to put on the big-boy pants and act like it.

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.
