When he attended Ocean-side High School, Liam McGuinness was very active with the football and lacrosse teams. He loved being on the field with his teammates, taking on a leadership role and making sure every game ran smoothly.

Off the field, however, he was more on the quiet side. Growing up, he was always described as a shy kid, but sports had proven to be his outlet, exactly what he needed to allow him to come out of his shell.

“He was so shy, but when he put on the football helmet, or the lacrosse helmet, he would

all of a sudden take control on the field, moving players around and showing them where to go and what to do,” said his mom, Jennifer McGuinness. “We would say it was like his Superman helmet, because it changed him when he put that on.”

McGuinness was so dedicated to sports that even when facing constant neck pain, he pushed through it for his teammates. That was until his sophomore year when it all came crashing down. His coaches saw the pain McGuinness was enduring at practice, and they would not allow him to play for the rest of the season.

He visited many physical therapists, chiroContinued on page 10

The OCeANsIde COmmuNITY will come together once again August 25 to remember those lost to drug overdose when they observe International Overdose Awareness Day. Pictured are the Oceanside Community Warriors who plant purple flowers in remembrance at last year’s awareness day.

Working together to overcome drug overdose Activities include planting flowers, Narcan training

By TAYLOR NICIOLI intern

A

day for planting flowers, educating and creating a safe space for those who have lost their loved ones; that is what the Oceanside Safe Coalition hopes for with their second annual event being held in participation of International Overdose Awareness Day. Oceanside Safe, alongside Kiwanis and a few of their sponsors, will be gathering at School House Green on Thursday, August 25, to allow attending community members to commemorate the lives of those lost to overdose with the planting of purple flowers. From 6 to 8 p.m., members of the community are asked to come together to learn more about how to prevent overdose and to even receive free Narcan training.

“We really wanted to make sure that we came together, not only to support friends and family who lost loved ones, but to really raise awareness about over-

dose,” said Alison Eriksen, the project coordinator of Oceanside SAFE. “It’s a really important event for us for education purposes, while also highlighting and remembering everybody that we did lose in the community.”

The Oceanside SAFE. Coalition, whose mission is to prevent and reduce alcohol and drug use among youth, had formed in 2015 when they noticed there had been many overdoses that resulted in death in the community. Shortly after, Oceanside S.A.F.E (Substance Abuse Free Environment) formed to work toward better educating community members, parents and youth on substance abuse.

“Most of the people recognized in this memorial are going to be kids that graduated from Oceanside High School,” said Sara Dowler, coalition chair and Oceanside School District health teacher. “With an event like this, seeing that we have lost people that were just like their own children, parents will realize that overdose awareness starts with being educated at a young age. Knowing how to talk about

this topic with your kids is a really important thing.”

While International Overdose Awareness Day falls on Aug. 31, Oceanside Safe wanted to have the event a week before, to not collide with the first day of school, and to make the event more accessible for the community in hopes that many members will be in attendance.

Following the planting ceremony, training on how to use Narcan, prescription medicine used for the emergency treatment of a narcotic overdose, will be provided by Seafield, a drug and alcohol detox facility in Long Island. Free kits will be given to everyone who participates in the training.

“Every single person should have this Narcan training. A lot of them are high school seniors that are going to college this year, to have Narcan in their dorm room or at a party would be a huge thing and could save a life,” said Dowler.

The Oceanside High School’s Youth Council, a club with a mission to educate on mental health, which includes sub-

stance abuse, will be in attendance and volunteering at the event. Other organizations of the community will also be showing their support in various ways, including Oceanside Warriors who will be helping to plant the flowers, that had been donated from Dee’s Nursery & Florist.

Other prevention resources, such as Deterra Drug Deactivation bags, will be available for free due to the sponsors.

On the flyer, it is noted that the event is to remember those who have died to overdose without stigma. Eriksen said that it is important for communities to continue to educate themselves and become more aware of these topics that have traditionally been treated as taboo. With the increase of resources and opening lines of communication, she said it will allow people to get the help they need.

“The opioid epidemic has claimed so many lives across Nassau County and Long Island alone,” said Eriksen. “Having that resource and that availability to save lives and intervene when you can is just so incredible.”

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

By KYLE CHIN kchin@liherald.com

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 Assemblywoman Michaelle Solages might not get the happiest reception: They propose adding 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 proposed public-private partnership released

by Solages to renovate the Southern State Parkway.

The report found that such an additional lane could help alleviate traffic.

Focusing on the Southern State Parkway 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 Hempstead 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

Herald file photo

LoNg IsLaNd CoNtraCtors Association representatives joined Assemblywoman Michaelle Solages and other officials as part of a demonstration last year remembering those killed in accidents on the Southern State Parkway. than six accidents per day, killing someone, 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 Builders Association in Washington.

At the same time, the number of driv-

ers using the parkway has increased dramatically, 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 redeveloping the roadway through a public-private contract. It’s similar to projects like the Goethals Bridge replacement between Staten Island and New Jersey, redevelopment of LaGuardia Airport, and the Moynihan Train Hall conversion at Penn

Station in Manhattan.

For the Sothern State, private partners could be contracted to design, construct, finance, operate and even maintaine the roadway. In return, that private group could be compensated through periodic government payments, or with toll revenue.

Solages has long advocated for renovations 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 Assemblywoman 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 affected by such change, and getting their input.

McGuinness overcomes injury to join Navy M continued froM front paGe

indset is everything. We all go through different challenges in life.

liaM McGuinness he would have to start putting in the hard work, and soon.

“That summer, I hit the ground running, and just said, ‘I got to do whatever it takes to build up my strength; strengthen my neck to support my body and to get rid of the pain as much as I can in order to accomplish this goal of mine,’” said McGuinness.

After he graduated in 2018, McGuinness attended Jacksonville University in Florida, where he majored in psychology.

He had joined the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps, a program that educates and trains qualified young men and women for service as commissioned officers in the Navy and Marine Corps. Since he thought he could no longer compete in sports, he was bent on fulfilling his lifelong goal of joining the Navy.

But his injury still stood in his way. To be considered for the Navy, McGuinness had to fight to receive a medical waiver.

However, after many letters from his doctors and from his lieutenants explaining his physical excellence within his unit,

McGuinness proved that his injury would not get in the way of his success.

He ended up playing sports again after all, joining his university’s division one men’s rowing team and leading his team to victory at the Southern Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championship of 2022.

At graduation, McGuinness was one of two students who had been bestowed with the JU Brady award, presented to athletes that go above and beyond in all areas of competition and demonstrate a successful balance between academic achievement, student organization and intercollegiate athletic participation.

In May, McGuinness was commissioned into the United States Navy and is set to be a surface warfare officer next spring.

Through all of his struggles, McGuinness remembered his favorite saying: “Mindset is everything.”

“We all go through different challenges in life,” he said. “Whether people know what you’re going through or not, can be questionable.

Being able to take the time to view situations and different perspectives, it allows you to understand the situation better, and it allows others to see that there are multiple ways to go about a situation that they may be facing.”

McGuinness never let anything stop him, having graduating from Jacksonville University with a degree in psychology while enrolled in the Naval ROTC.

practors and pediatricians, but no one could pinpoint the source of the pain.

Despite their efforts to prevent the teen from undergoing spinal surgery, they determined it was the only solution.

“It had hurt me more that I couldn’t be out there on the field with my teammates,” said McGuinness. “I always did what needed to be done for the best interests of my guys. Not being out there with them really hurt, throughout the whole process.”

He underwent surgery in February of 2016, as doctors removed extra scar tissue that had formed throughout years of competitive playing, and fixed a pinched nerve they had discovered. Before the surgery, McGuinness continued to go to every practice for his teammates, even though he was unable to participate.

“His sports were something that he worked at and gave all his effort to at such a young age,” his mother said. “He swore he was going to go take it to the next level.

When that was taken from him, it was just heartbreaking.”

The days during his recovery were long, but the surgery proved to be just what he needed, since his physical health had improved. As his senior year approached, McGuinness began to seek options for college. As early as elementary school, he knew he wanted to join the Navy, just like his uncle who served for 29 years.

‘Helper Heidi’ Berr is an asset to the community jpellegrino@liherald.com

For 24 years, Heidi Berr, known affectionately as “Helper Heidi,” has been with a variety of psychological conditions out of her Montgomery Street office in Oceanside.

One of her areas of specialization is the treatment of anxiety and depression.

“Depression and anxiety are some of the most prevalent mental health problems out there,” said Berr, a licensed clinical social worker. “Without the right treatment, which includes psychotherapy and most of the time medication, people with depression and anxiety can’t reach their full potential but if they get the right treatment, they can live very fulfilling lives. So, it’s very satisfying to work with somebody long-term who say has bipolar disorder and build a trusting relationship and help him or her understand their triggers and coping skills.”

She says she has seen an uptick in cases, due to recent events.

“There’s always been a lot of anxiety, but in today’s world we see even more people with anxiety disorders,” Berr said. “Between the political differ-

ences, the increase in violence, the pandemic and worries about health and school shootings; all these things have triggered a tremendous amount of anxiety in both adults and children.”

She also enjoys working with children, as it allows her to embrace her creative side.

“Working with children is a whole other ball game all together,” Berr said.

“You have to meet them at their level and you have to be really able to connect with them and use different modalities. You can’t sit and talk with a kid on the couch; you have to sit on the floor and pretend and play games and enter into Heidi their world. I’ve always had tremendous success with kids; I get referred to all the time.

There are more kids that need treatment than there are therapists that are willing to treat them and do it well, so it’s a much needed area.”

She says that kids also face a unique set of issues.

“They can suffer from a range of issues including social anxiety, ADHD, trauma from losses or other traumatic situations in the family,” Berr said.

“Kids have a lot of anxiety today between hearing things about school shootings, the war in Ukraine and the uncertainty of life and the anger that’s out there. These are things a lot of parents didn’t have to cope with growing up but their kids do and they need to have tools on how to handle this.”

But one group she has paid special attention to in recent years and is the subject of her new self-published book is “adult children.”

“I specialize in working with a lot of 20-somethings because I think it’s an area of so much growth and change,” Berr said. “There Berr are so many things’ people in their twenties are trying to figure out regarding the rest of their lives like what career they’re going to be in and who to couple with and where to live. It’s an age where there can a lot of conflict and a tremendous amount of anxiety and sometimes depression. I also do a lot of work with parents of adult children too on how to forge positive relationships with their children in their twenties and thirties.”

The book titled “Building a Healthy,

Growing season is here!

Rewarding Relationship with Your Adult Child” teaches parents new strategies and realistic expectations to achieve a healthy relationship. These include learning why their child may have different perspectives than their parents on almost everything, why they’re not reaching the same milestones as they did at their age and how to identify if their child is experiencing failure to launch and what they can do to help.

The book is now available on Amazon in both Paperback and Kindle formats.

Berr has been in full-time private since 1997. She was a staff therapist at Queens Child Guidance Center from 1990 to 1997, while also working as a parent trainer for the New York State Early Intervention Program from 1996 to 1998. She obtained her master’s degree in clinical social work in 1990 from the NYU School of Social Work, now called the Silver School of Social Work. In 2014 her clinical article entitled “Childhood Anxiety Disorder and Standardized Testing-Potential Links” was published in the New York State Society for Clinical Social Work’s monthly publication.

Her office is located at 256 Montgomery Ave., Oceanside.

STEPPING OUT Swinging with ‘America’s Sweethearts’

A look at the Shinnecock Nation

America has loved the swinging sounds of female close-harmony groups even before The Andrews Sisters hit the airwaves. America’s Sweethearts will charm you while navigating their way through a variety of trios, duets, and solos all with a slice of oldfashioned fun! Hear such hits as ‘Sing Sing Sing,’ ‘It’s My Party,’ ‘Lullaby of Broadway,’ and many more. Plaza Productions stages this joyous ode to a classic musical genre.

By Karen Bloom kbloom@liherald.com

A

spects long associated with Native American culture — medicine wheels, wampum, talking sticks and so forth — are unfamiliar yet fascinating. Members of Long Island’s Shinnecock Nation are introducing families to their heritage and traditions throughout the summer at Long Island Children’s Museum’s dynamic exhibit “Toyuskanash: Bridges,” which runs through Labor Day. Four indigenous artists are in residency all summer long to meet, discuss and make art with museum visitors. Artist workshops involve families in When: exploring both Daily, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the creative through Sunday, Sept. 4 process and the individual Where: medium used.

Long Island Children’s Art Museum, Museum Row, exhibitions, Garden City; LICM.org or by their (516) 224-5800 nature, tell a story — from the selection of pieces, how they are grouped and placed, and of course, which artists are on view. In this installation, artists selected others to join them to tell a collaborative story. The four artists involved represent different generations and use different media, but share a culture and commitment to celebrating traditions in a contemporary context.

“The concept of ‘Bridges’ represented in the title is a metaphor for bringing people together over difficult or impossible terrain,” says fine art photographer Jeremy Dennis, who notes “Toyuskanash is the Algonquian word for “bridges.“

He co-curated the exhibit with his mother, painter and tradition-bearer Denise Silva-Dennis, collaborating with museum exhibits director Erik Schurink and museum associate education director Jeanmarie Walsh Mansfield.

“In the case of Indigenous people and artists, we often have to bridge gaps in empathy, understanding and knowledge.”

The motherson Dennis team is joined by beadwork appliqué and ribbon work artist Tohanash Tarrant and painter David Bunn Martine.

They recently completed a collaborative art piece focused on the theme of the medicine wheel, a powerful symbol of interconnectivity.

Museum-goers had an opportunity to add to the collaborative piece, which is now on display in the art-making space for the remainder of the exhibit.

“In many Native American communities, it is believed that family members who pass away depart westward. In this medicine wheel, I used black-and-white photos of Shinnecock ancestors in a collage style,” Dennis explains.

“I chose the black southerly section of the wheel to depict where the winged-ones migrate to,” Silva-Denis added. “The figure has winter gear on as they are left behind in the northern blanket-of-snow section. Yet there is a promise of spring with the strawberry-heart, white flowers promising, to great relief, spring.”

Families are immediately introduced to the creators through images of each artist and

highlighted pieces of their work as soon as they enter the museum. Dennis’ interactive map — showcasing Long Island’s culturally significant Native America — enables visitors to gain an understanding of place as they explore various communities.

The children museum’s KaleidoZone gallery displays the works of all four artists, while another gallery is the setting for the various artist-led workshops and an open area for artmaking.

This space features works by each artist highlighting their creative approach, along with a storytelling area that presents the legend of “Sky Woman,” the Indigenous creation story.

Hospital participates in National Night Out

M

ount Sinai South Nassau hospital in Oceanside was out in force in communities like Bethpage, Freeport and Baldwin for the 38th annual National Night Out. The Nassau County Police Department and local fire departments were joined by the hospital and other local organizations to spread awareness about childhood education, safety, and health.

According to the National Night Out Association, National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live. National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement with a sense of community and connects police with neighbors in positive circumstances.

he Oceanside Community Warriors had a very busy day as they helped clean up the lighthouse by the triangle by Oceanside Road, Merle Avenue and the triangle on Brower Avenue.

The warriors fight every week to improve quality of life in the hamlet, starting on the streets.

“It started off with people complaining on Facebook that certain areas of Oceanside were messy and had a lot of garbage and were overgrown,” Jackie Padin, the group’s secretary said.

“So, a bunch of us just decided to start cleaning it up about six years ago and now we do it every Sunday, just about.”

Members may join for a day or for a lifetime. For more information, contact oceansidewarriorsny@gmail.com

Library cooks up a new baking program

T

he Oceanside Library is cooking some gourmet chefs. On July 12, the library held a special needs cooking program in the community room of their temporary location.

Each participant was given a six-inch cake to decorate in the theme of an ocean scene, with help from “Chefs of d’Future” a cooking school based in

New Hyde Park that has hosted other events with the library in the past.

“What a wonderful program and a great night for the special needs community,” said community member Vivian Parisi Monaco.

The program was sponsored by the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Division 17, of Long Beach.

The toll fear takes on all of us

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 careful, didn’t play it so safe? What would you say? Where would you travel?

What would delight you? Who would you be?

Your answers to these questions reveal what a fearful lifestyle may be costing you. And they suggest how your life could be far more satisfying if you were less apprehensive, less alarmed — even in this age of Covid.

Certainly, there are times in which it is wise to be afraid.

Indeed, there’s often a fine line between being fearless and being naïve or just plain stupid. The opposite, however, is also true.

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 inda worrying about setbacks, troubles, problems, or calamities that might befall you or your loved ones, it makes it difficult, if not impossible, to think constructively.

losophy, living your life in a tootight, too-narrow comfort zone.

When fear becomes the deciding factor as to what actions you’ll take, you bypass amazing experiences in this world.

Instead of being a happy camper, you become bored, discontent, and envious of others who live a more carefree life. In this age of Covid, does this mean paying no attention to safety protocols? Not at all! It apadin means enjoying experiences outdoors and/ or wearing your mask!

others feels oppressive. When fear squeezes all the juiciness out of life, what’s left?

Only two things: the routine, dull, everyday undertakings. And the crises, tragedies, and hardships of life that none of us totally escape.

Aren’t you too smart to let yourself become one of those people who believe that life is “just one damn thing after another?”

Yes, assessing the dangers of your choice makes good sense, but solely focusing on the hazards that accompany your choice makes life difficult, dull, dry and dreary. You, dear reader, deserve better! ©2022

Fear squeezes all the fun, excitement, and juiciness out of life.

My brother’s questioning HERALD our renovation To place an ad call 516-569-4000 press 5 • To place an ad call 516-569-4000 press 5 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 problem. Do you agree?

Ask The Architect

1175607

A. Your brother made some very, um, constructive 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, onte eeper which just as easily attach with finish nails at 16 inches on center.

A combination of the finish nails and a construction adhesive saves lumber. Placing the wall studs at 24 inches on center is supposed to save money by reducing the number of wall studs needed, 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 inches, 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 ceiling 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!

ne of my all-time favorite books was written by the late President John F. Kennedy in 1956, four years before he became president. The book, “Profiles in Courage,” 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 important on an issue of the day. There are few people in today’s world who have been willing to face the consequences for following their conscience, but those few are worth notJERRY ing.

At the top of the KREMER list are two Republican members of the House of Representatives. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger 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

L

been fearless and courageous in discussing the significance of the witness testimony, 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 election. 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 Republican 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 primary, 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

L

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 whether to have an abortion. Kansas is one of the reddest states in the country, yet somehow, while the opinion polls showed anti-abortion proponents winning, I didn’t believe them. Over the past 10-plus years, lots of opinion 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 Democrat 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 partnership, along with bitter community blowback.

My last nominated group that has shown the courage of its convictions is

iz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger top my congressional list of profiles in courage.

the parents of the shooting victims at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. These parents will forever suffer over the loss of their children, and they didn’t deserve to become the victims of a conspiracy campaign launched by conservative radio talk show host Alex Jones.

Jones claimed the Sandy Hook massacre 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 damages.

Courage in today’s world is a rare commodity. Mark Twain defined it as “resistance 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 willing 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 strategy firm. Comments about this column?

Florida Gov. DeSantis: teachers need to be educated

ast week, the Florida Department of Education announced that military 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 workforce training opportunities for military veterans and their spouses.

— USA Today Gov. Ron DeSantis’s plan to allow U.S. veterans to teach in Florida RAnDi classrooms is a terrific concept — KREiss if and when the veterans earn bachelor’s degrees 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.

Although Florida is facing a dire teacher shortage, the governor’s plan is disrespectful 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 irresponsible and potentially damaging to both veterans and students.

I’m a teacher, 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’ve been 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.

s

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.

I wouldn’t want to see doctors replaced by veterans who really love medicine but have no medical training. Same for pilots.

Ship captains. Some jobs demand critical thinking skills and rigorous training for which there is no shortcut. 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 education. I know our vets have faced daunting responsibilities and fearsome challenges in their work. But standing in front of a classroom presents entirely different challenges, 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,

tanding in front of a classroom is a daunting challenge, even for veterans.

child-loving wannabe teacher needs to study how to teach third-graders mathematics, 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 program, and pass the required content examinations. Upon meeting the requirements for certification, an applicant may be issued an initial certificate, which is valid for five years. This entry-level certificate leads to a professional certificate, which is an advanced-level license that is continuously valid, assuming the teacher completes the appropriate number of professional development hours every five years.

I spend part of my year in Florida, and I am concerned for the upcoming generation of Floridians. One teacher I know said of DeSantis’s plan, “He likes his constituents to be uneducated because critical thinkers would vote him out.”

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 voters’ 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 voting habits.

New census data led to a redrawing of political districts, upending the 2022 election season.

In June, which has become the primary 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 congressional 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 everyone’s vote counted.

From local elections such as the 2021 race for Nassau County executive — in which Bruce Blakeman’s margin of victory over Laura Curran was 2,150 votes —

letters Kudos to Hinman for his shipwreck research To the Editor: I liked Executive Editor Michael Hinman’s column, “Two heroes, and one captain who should’ve been ashamed,” last week. I’ve been the historian of the Village of Lynbrook for over 30 years, and am the author of “Water & Ice: The Tragic Wrecks of the Bristol and the Mexico on the South Shore of Long Island.” (The book is available on Amazon.) I have also had dozens of local history articles published in the Herald over the years, including several related to the two wrecks, and to the annual ceremony that I help organize at the monument, along with the Ancient Order of Hibernians of Nassau County and the Historical Society of East Rockaway and Lynbrook.

Hinman’s detailed summary of the

Electoral information You can become an election protector by signing up at the ProtectTheVote.net website.

For more information on elections and voting, go to the Nassau County Board of Elections website, NassauCountyNY.gov, or call (516) 571-8683. You can also reach the League of Women Voters of Nassau County at LWVofNassauCounty.org, or by calling (516) 431-1628. to George W. Bush’s victory over Al Gore in the presidential election 21 years earlier that was decided by 537 votes in Florida, every vote is consequential. And protecting that vote is essential.

In order to safeguard the act of voting, we need election protectors. What are they? According to the Election Protection coalition organized by the political watchdog group Common Cause, an election 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 box.”

Common Cause dates back to the Nixon administration, when it was founded 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: voting.

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 government.

When you vote in an election, you exercise your right to give voice to your opinions. An election protector helps safeguard that right, which in turn safeguards 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.

N

assau County’s ongoing mission to address the opioid addiction crisis is one of the most important and most heart-wrenching issues I contend with as a mother and as the ranking member of the County Legislature’s Health & Social Services Committee. This merciless and unforgiving scourge has touched nearly all of our lives.

As the county sits on tens of millions of settlement dollars from the nation’s largest opioid drug manufacturers and distributors, Suffolk County has DELIA already plans DeRIggI-WHITTON announced for its share — a blueprint that was devised through the work of a transparent, bipartisan and collaborative advisory panel. To date, Nassau County, in contrast, has offered little more than conceptual plans for using our share.

It is 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 addiction crisis.

On July 26, Suffolk County announced that it would dedicate settlement funds received from opioid distributors AmerisourceBergen Corp., Cardinal Health Inc. and McKesson Corporation to finance grants for drug treatment providers, community groups and county agencies for programs.

These actions were based on guidance from the Suffolk County Addiction Prevention and Support Advisory Panel, a body consisting of legislators, public health experts, recovery advocates and community leaders that was convened 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

s

uffolk County has been busy earmarking the money, but not Nassau.

LETTERs 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 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 compelling struggle, well worth covering in the Herald.

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

the independent Office of Legislative Budget Review, the county has received $55.9 million in settlement funds, $15 million 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 rehabilitation services, to identify the best way to spend the money,” Blakeman’s administration has not articulated a clearly defined strategy. To my knowledge, the administration has not engaged legislators 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 programs that are already operating, and those that could come soon. Nassau’s highly successful Operation: Natalie, which floods opioid “hot spots” in the

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 country, 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 footprint but allows China and India to use fossil fuels to their heart’s desire. Very unfair to the U.S. Domestically, the headaches our country 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-producing pipelines and canceled energy leases, jacking up the prices of oil, gas, transportation, food, you name it.

Our southern border? Millions of illegal 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 flourishing.

Racism? Biden is beholden 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.

county with enforcement, education, community outreach and treatment resources, is back up and running at full force after the pandemic. Legislation that would provide Narcan to nightlife establishments 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 overdose deaths caused by fentanyl-laced drugs.

A collaborative and community-powered 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, education and prevention services that will save lives and help residents free themselves 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.

Delia DeRiggi-Whitton, of Glen Cove, who was elected to the Nassau County Legislature in 2011, represents the 11th Legislative District.

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 picking 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.
