Five Towners will meet at the Lawrence Yacht & Country Club on Aug. 16 to make local elected officials aware of their opposition to major develop ments — such as proposed proj ects at the Woodmere Club and the approved Pearsall Project — and to voice the need for improving the Nassau Express way.The meeting was organized after the July 21 Lawrence vil lage board meeting. Several res idents expressed their anger that Cedarhurst had passed a zoning change for the Pearsall Project — a development of three residential building with a total of 98 units — and requested that Lawrence halt or mitigate the proposed develop ment, and more stringently oppose other transit-oriented development proposed for the area.Transit-oriented develop ment promotes the redevelop ment of light industrial and manufacturing zones to encour age a mix of housing and com mercial use, closely integrated with mass Lawrencetransit.mayor Alex Edel man told residents that if they organized a meeting, he would invite other elected officials to listen.“Iwas talking about this years ago,” village Trustee Paris Popack said at the July meeting, referring to her involvement in the Lawrence Association, the village’s civic association.

Lifelong Five Towns resident David Fried man, the former United States ambassador to Israel under President Trump, attracted a crowd at Young Israel of Lawrence-Cedar hurst during a book-signing event for “Sledge hammer: How Breaking with the Past Brought Peace to the Middle East” on Aug. 1. Friedman and his wife, Tammy, who joined him at the event, were once full-time Woods burgh residents with a deep history of Jewish involvement in the Five Towns. Friedman’s father was Rabbi Morris Friedman, an iconic figure in the Jewish community who was one of the founders of the modern Orthodox movement and was the spiritual leader at Temple Hillel in North Woodmere. The Fried mans now split time between Florida and Jerusalem, and visit the Five Towns often. Rabbi Ya’akov Trump (no relation to the former president) opened the event, welcom ing Tammy to speak first. “November 8, 2016 was a day that would change our lives forev er,” Tammy said, as that was the day that Don ald Trump was elected to serve his first term as President. “Donald Trump had reassured David that he would be his first choice as ambassador, should he become president.”

Lisa Margaria On AuG. 3, the Chabad of the Beaches and the Village of Atlantic Beach went to the United States Courthouse in Central Islip in an eminent domain legal-battle.

Jennifer Polovetsky, co-chair of the Eminent Domain Practice with New York law firm Herrick, Feinstein, disagreed. “As long as the village has followed the laws the eminent domain procedure laws and follows all other relevant laws in the planning for the acquisition of this proper ty, it should be considered a valid taking under eminent domain, or eminent domain purposes.” Polovetsky said.

The Chabad noted that, though the vil lage was supposedly looking at the proper ty one year before the Chabad, it had no urgency to take the land until the Chabad’s religious candle lighting ceremony at 2025 Park Street on Dec. 7, 2021. One day after the ceremony, on Dec. 8, the village’s attor ney, Dominick Minerva, filed the environ mental assessment form. Ten days after the ceremony, the board voted to go through with eminent domain and held a public hearing about it one month later. In the village’s defense, there was no malicious intent and the timing of this incident was coincidental. The property is valuable and attractive to anyone, village representatives said, adding that both par ties were taking steps to acquire the prop erty at the same time, but the Chabad got it first. Sullivan testified that the village out grew it’s office and that village lifeguards have been meeting on a street corner possible proof that the property is in public need. “In order to take a piece of property from a religious institution, the village has got to provide a really compelling justifica tion,” Dys previously told the Herald.

The legal wrangling between Atlantic Beach village and the Chabad of the Beaches will continue, as both parties will send briefings to the judge after the Aug. 3 federal court hearing. Justice Joanna Sey bert is expected to render a decision with in the next four months. Seven representatives of the Chabad that is in Long Beach — including Rabbi Eli Goodman, a witness — sat on the right side of the United States Courthouse in Central Islip while three representatives of Atlantic Beach — including Deputy Mayor Edward Sullivan, a witness — sat on the left. Goodman was seen reading the Torah during a courtroom break. For nearly six hours, the parties took turns stating their case before Seybert over 2025 and 2035 Park St., which the Chabad bought last November for $950,000 from M.A. Salazar Inc., a real estate com pany.“We were pleased to provide argument to the Court,” Chabad attorney Jeremy Dys wrote in an email, “and look forward to receiving the Court’s decision. Chabad of the Beaches is eager to serve the Atlan tic Beach community.”

Former envoy to Israel visits Cedarhurst

The Chabad, which claims that antiSemitism is propelling the village’s emi nent domain action, also submitted antise metic Facebook posts from the private Vil lage of Atlantic Beach group as evidence of antisemitism. The village agreed that the posts were distasteful.

The Friedman family moved to Israel on May 14, “It2017.was like a great adventure movie,” Tammy said. “Lots of twists. And many turns. So many great stories left untold.

“The Village had a legal right to acquire the property under the eminent domain law,” Mayor George Pappas wrote in a statement, “and the process was conducted with fairness to all and bias towards none. We are confident the Village’s actions will be upheld by the federal court, and all of our residents will be able to enjoy the com munity spaces planned for the properties.”

Maybe I will write the next book with him and tell a more personal story. There’s so much I can tell you, but we’re limited in our time.”Friedman shared tidbits of his experiences — pieces of what he wrote in his book, Sledge hammer, published in February — as a diplo mat and how the Abraham Accords Declara tion, which maintain peace between the U.S., Israel and the United Arab Emirates, came about.While serving as the envoy to Israel, David’s no-nonsense style helped broker the recognition of Jerusalem as capital of Israel and subsequent move of the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem (May 14, 2018) and the Abraham Accords (Aug. 13, 2020). “Ambassador David Friedman was the first ambassador to get America to respect it’s own laws and move the embassy to Jerusalem,” Ya’akov Trump said. Being grounded by faith was an advantage for Friedman as a diplomat, he said. “It’s just a game changer,” David said. “You go to work every day, you believe you’re doing the right thing, you seek guidance when necessary, you try to immerse yourself as much as you can in holy texts, and you speak with God and you speak with your wife and get her support… That’s the secret sauce.” Friedman feels that politics is difficult without these values. “If you’re just sort of adrift and untethered from any values and you’re kind of just floating around—politics is such a real sport— it’s much, much more difficult.”

Lisa Margaria/Herald DAvID FRIeDMAn, A former U.S. ambassador to Israel, spoke at Young Israel of Lawrence-Cedarhurst about his book, ‘Sledgehammer,’ on Aug. 1.

Chabad representatives claim that the village only wanted the land after the Chabad held a holiday celebration on Dec. 2, 2021, where Mayor George Pappas was invited. Pappas responded, asking for the time of the event, but did not show up. In a tit for tat debate village representatives said that on the same day Pappas was busy at another village holiday event which Goodman was also invited to. Goodman did not attend the event Pappas attended.

Summer Shavuot fun at Hillel camp in Lawrence

Third-grade hillel campers appeared to enjoy their day at Adventureland.

Lawrence's Hillel Day Camp is jampacked with educational and entertaining activities for its campers this summer. Significant holidays like Sukkot and Sha vuot are taught through art, cuisine, the lunch menu and “out-of-the-box special ties,” according to camp organizers. A prior week's topic was Sukkot, the Jewish holiday honoring the 40 years that the ancient Hebrews spent in the desert after fleeing Egypt. The campers got lessons from many people while having fun. Morah Wonka taught the campers how to make choco late, helping to make chocolate pizza, while Jeff Boyer put on an exciting bub ble show for the campers, showing off bubbles of all shapes, colors and sizes. Through many art classes, the campers learn about the many Jewish holidays, while making fun crafts. Campers had the opportunity to create Sukkah decorations in an art session, while getting to build their own model Sukkah in a cooking class.The camp had theme days when chil dren and staff got the chance to dress up in amusing costumes, such as Disney day, pajama day and crazy hair and hat day!

The older divisions go on day trips. The campers from the third grade had the opportunity to visit Adventureland. The many rides, roller coasters, roller skating and games were loved by many campers, said the staff members. The older group of students had a kayaking on the beach experience, while students in the second grade took part in a cooking session at Master Chef. One of the highlights of the campers’ time at Hillel was participating in the annual color run, to raise money for the Camp Scholarship Fund, which included a dance party, DJ and live music.

I f someone gave you a magic pill to calm your fears, I’m talking real magic here - not a pill from the pharmacy or dealer — how would you live your life differently? What would you do if you weren’t so care ful, didn’t play it so safe? What would you say? Where would you travel? What would delight you? Who would you be? Your answers to these questions reveal what a fearful lifestyle may be costing you. And they suggest how your life could be far more satisfying if you were less apprehen sive, less alarmed — even in this age of Covid. Certainly, there are times in which it is wise to be afraid. Indeed, there’s often a fine line between being fearless and being naïve or just plain stupid. The opposite, however, is also true. Excessive fear limits your ability to enjoy life, work creatively, speak spontaneously, and love freely. Here are just a few of the costs of a fearful lifestyle: ■ Fear constricts thinking. When fear holds sway over your thoughts, it constricts your ability to think, no matter how well educated or street-savvy you are. You habitually take the easy way out – developing a pattern of reflexive naysaying rather than reflective thought. If you’re consistently worry ing about setbacks, troubles, prob lems, or calamities that might befall you or your loved ones, it makes it difficult, if not impossi ble, to think constructively.

3. From May 15 through September 30, from two hours before to one hour after predicted high tide. Predicted high tide occurs 10 minutes earlier than that predicted for Sandy Hook, as given in the tide table published by the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration.

■ Fear squeezes all the fun, excitement, and juiciness out of life. If fear holds sway over your emotions, it’s easy to feel physi cally exhausted and emotionally depleted. Life feels tough. Work feels burdensome. Mingling with others feels oppressive. When fear squeezes all the juici ness out of life, what’s left? Only two things: the routine, dull, every day undertakings. And the crises, tragedies, and hardships of life that none of us totally escape. Aren’t you too smart to let your self become one of those people who believe that life is “just one damn thing after another?” Yes, assessing the dangers of your choice makes good sense, but sole ly focusing on the hazards that accompany your choice makes life difficult, dull, dry and dreary. You, dear reader, deserve better!

■ Fear pinches choices. Fear restricts your ability to take action. You approach life with a better safe than sorry philosophy, living your life in a too-tight, toonarrow comfort zone.

Instead of being a happy camper, you become bored, discontent, and envious of others who live a more carefree life. In this age of Covid, does this mean paying no attention to safety protocols?

Debating the future of Woodmere Club property ation of what the town and villages call a Coastal Conservation District divides the club land into three “subdistricts” and limit building to 59 homes. An 83.3-acre parcel, or 70 percent of the site, was designated an open space/recre ation subdistrict. There would also be a single-family residential subdistrict of 29.4 acres, or 24 percent of the property, and a 5.7-acre clubhouse/hospitality sub district, accounting for 5 percent of the land.“Currently we are still in litigation over the Woodmere Club,” Hempstead Town Councilman Anthony D’Esposito said on Monday, “so I really can’t com ment on it.”

The 5TCA — an organization formed in late 2016, before the sale of the Wood mere Club in 2017 — explained why the group released its letter. “The ‘Pearsall Monster’, the 17 houses recently approved on the Lawrence Wood mere Academy property, the thousands of new apartments that are being planned under the new Transit-Oriented Develop ment in Inwood and North Lawrence should be a cautionary tale to us all,” the association wrote. “Without community input, deals and zoning changes will be made behind closed doors and decided on well in advance of public hearings. If you are as outraged as us, please reach out to all your local elected officials and hold them accountable for their actions.”

The Town of Hempstead, Woodsburgh and Lawrence plan to review the develop ers’ applications, which will be addressed at a public hearing before any decisions are made, Woodsburgh officials said. A date has yet to be set. In 2019, Gerszberg and Weiss originally proposed building 285 single-family homes on 114.5 acres. A year later, the plan was tweaked for one fewer home on the same acreage, with 247 homes within Woodmere’s boundaries, 24 in Woods burgh and 13 in Lawrence. Community members have endorsed Gerszberg and Weiss’s plan to build two four-story attached buildings with 199 lux ury condos for resident 55 and older along Broadway, in Woodmere, on 20 acres of the club Gerszbergproperty.and Weiss previously acknowledged the civic association’s con cerns that overdevelopment would nega tively impact local traffic, flooding poten tial and public safety. Therefore, another 80 acres would be deeded to the North Shore Land Alliance — an Oyster Baybased nonprofit land trust that aims to preserve, in perpetuity, green spaces, farmland, wetlands, groundwater and his torical sites — to be turned into a nature preserve.“Nocomment,”

The pending litigation between the municipalities and the developers, Gersz berg and Weiss, has halted the project’s application process.

Lawrence Mayor Alex Edelman said when asked about the future of the nearly 114-year-old club’s 118 acres. Edelman added, however, that he might have something to say in the near future.Gerszberg and Weiss reportedly agreed to put up $1 million to initiate the land preservation, and another $1 million over the next few years. The remaining 18 acres would be divided into roughly 7 acres for the clubhouse and roughly 13 acres of additional landscaped and pre served areas. Land around what was the 17th hole of the golf course would also remain open Gerszbergspace.did not respond for a request for comment at press time. If the court rules in the developers’ favor, they will proceed with the 284-home plan. If the court rules for the municipali ties, the 83-home Coastal Conservation District plan could move forward.

The Town of Hempstead and the villages of Woodsburgh and Lawrence are still in litiga tion with the developers Efrem Gerszberg and Robert Weiss about the Woodmere Club development.

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.

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

300 people to come from the Five Towns and Far Rockaway. It is being promoted on social media and through word of mouth.Meeting organizers are hoping to call for a moratorium on all major develop ment until State Route 878, also known as the Nassau Expressway, is completed. The expressway stretches 10 miles, from the Atlantic Beach Bridge through Queens to Ozone Park. In January 2020, the state completed a $130 million, 14-month-long construction project overhauling roughly a half-mile of the roadway from Burnside Avenue, in Inwood, to Rockaway Turnpike, in Lawrence.Theproject, which began in October 2018, included raising the road three to four feet to reduce flooding, and the installation of a new multi-use pedestri an path, a state-of-the-art drainage sys tem and synced traffic signals as well as additional turning lanes. After a five-car crash in the work area in April 2018 resulted in two deaths, plas tic Jersey barriers, used to separate traf fic lanes, were also installed. Residents noticed improved traffic flow on the expressway after the work was completed. But Five Towners still want more work done on the road. “It would alleviate much of the traffic problem,” said Jennifer Wallace, a Law rence resident for 25 years who planned to attend next week’s meeting. “And maybe then you could talk about doing more development.” In July 2021, while County Legislators Denise Ford and Howard Kopel stumped for a bypass to be built to reduce traffic on the expressway, Ford said, “When ambulances cannot get through and fire departments cannot get through — when regular people cannot get through to get home at a decent hour, that is a travesty, and it has to end.”

Residents worry that traffic problems may only worsen as development contin ues.Both Bernstein and Wallace also said they were concerned that the Five Towns lacked the infrastructure to sup port more Lawrencedevelopment.andCedarhurst village offi cials are expected to attend the meeting, but no Town of Hempstead officials had confirmed that they would attend as the Herald went to press.

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

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.

You prepare a meal, and teach the kids about keeping conditions healthy and hygienic around food. I know there will be some natural-born teachers among the veterans who move into Florida classrooms. That will be a bonus for the kids. But loving teaching and loving children are not enough.Iwouldn’t want to see doctors replaced by veter ans who really love medi cine but have no medical training. Same for pilots. Ship captains. Some jobs demand critical thinking skills and rigorous training for which there is no short cut. To suggest that anyone without teacher training can step into a classroom, maintain classroom decorum, teach the curriculum, work effectively with colleagues and truly educate our children is dismissive of teacher educa tion. I know our vets have faced daunting responsibilities and fearsome challenges in their work. But standing in front of a classroom presents entirely different chal lenges, and requires a body of learning and a process of training that does not allow for shortcuts. Our children deserve to be taught by individuals who have been fully educated themselves. Even the most motivated, child-loving wannabe teacher needs to study how to teach third-graders mathe matics, and how to get nonreaders to read, and how to settle classroom disputes, and how to get the truant back to school, and how to plan lessons for a month ahead, and how to teach a classroom of 30 kids who are all on different reading levels. According to New York state, to become a teacher, a candidate must meet the requirements stipulated by the Office of Teaching Initiatives. Like most states, New York requires that all teachers hold a bachelor’s degree, complete a state teacher certification pro gram, and pass the required content examinations. Upon meeting the require ments for certification, an applicant may be issued an initial certificate, which is valid for five years. This entry-level certif icate leads to a professional certificate, which is an advanced-level license that is continuously valid, assuming the teacher completes the appropriate number of pro fessional development hours every five years.Ispend part of my year in Florida, and I am concerned for the upcoming genera tion of Floridians. One teacher I know said of DeSantis’s plan, “He likes his con stituents to be uneducated because criti cal thinkers would vote him out.”

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

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.

letters What kind of traffic study was this? To the Editor: To justify their approval of the Pearsall Project, the mayor of Cedar hurst stated that he and his board relied on a traffic study showing the development would have minimal impact on traffic. How could anyone claim that having hundreds of cars added to our streets wouldn’t add to traffic? Anyone who has driven down Central Avenue in the middle of the day, especially on a Friday afternoon, recognizes that even a fraction of these additional cars on the road will exacerbate an already unbearable sit uation. Therefore, I checked out the traffic study and found it to be seri ously flawed.

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.

was con vened by County Executive Steve Bellone. 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.

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

Think they’d mind if we just sat in there and cooled off? — Norman Levy Preserve, Merrick closed and traffic is usually very light. It was also conducted on a Friday after noon, right before and during the onset of the Jewish Sabbath, when practically all stores on Central Avenue are closed and traffic is almost nonexistent. In addition, the study focused only on traffic in the immediate area of Pearsall Avenue, and did not consider the traffic further down on Rockaway Turnpike and Route 878, which frequently slows to a trickle or standstill.Youdon’t need to be a brain surgeon to realize that this study is a sham. Maybe the times they used to conduct the study would make sense for a study conducted in Manhattan, but they certainly don’t make sense in a community such as ours. I am surprised the mayor could claim with a straight face that he really believed that the study was legitimate. Also, the mayor tried to claim that the $4 million the village is receiving didn’t affect his objectivity, since the funds are going to be used to upgrade village streets and the Gourmet Glatt parking lot. How ever, he neglected to mention that this $4 million “incentive” will in effect free up the rest of the village’s coffers to be used for his pet projects, including his stipend and benefits (not to mention the rest of the Cedarhurst trustees’stipends and ben efits).

Y. ROSE Woodmere Kudos to Hinman for his shipwreck research To the Editor: I liked Executive Editor Michael Hin man’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 Ama zon.) I have also had dozens of local his tory articles published in the Herald over the years, including several related to the two wrecks, and to the annual cer emony that I help organize at the monu ment, along with the Ancient Order of Hibernians of Nassau County and the Historical Society of East Rockaway andHinman’sLynbrook.detailed summary of the 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 iden tical 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 Land mark and Preservation status for the monument and the small remaining open space of the Mariners Burying Ground (the very space Ruth Bader mentioned). The cemetery operators are fighting our application. It is a compel ling struggle, well worth covering in the Herald. ART MATTSON Lynbrook
