By TAYloR Nicioli intern 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 lead ership role and making sure every game ran smoothly.Offthe 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 foot ball helmet, or the lacrosse helmet, he would all of a sudden take control on the field, mov ing 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 theHeseason.visited many physical therapists, chiro

By TAYLOR NICIOLI intern A day for planting flowers, educat ing 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 pre vent 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 educa tion purposes, while also highlighting and remembering everybody that we did lose in the Thecommunity.”OceansideSAFE. 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 Environ ment) formed to work toward better edu cating community members, parents and youth on substance abuse. “Most of the people recognized in this memorial are going to be kids that gradu ated from Oceanside High School,” said Sara Dowler, coalition chair and Oceans ide School District health teacher. “With an event like this, seeing that we have lost people that were just like their own chil dren, 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 impor tantWhilething.”International Overdose Aware ness 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 mem bers will be in attendance. Following the planting ceremony, training on how to use Narcan, prescrip tion 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 “Everytraining.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 organiza tions of the community will also be show ing their support in various ways, includ ing Oceanside Warriors who will be help ing 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 over dose without stigma. Eriksen said that it is important for communities to continue to educate themselves and become more aware of these topics that have tradition ally 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.”
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.

Athletes rewarded for their devout community service
Student from Oceanside schools are good sports both on and off the field, as recently recognized by the New York State Public High School Athletic Association. The association has announced Oceanside High School (Section VIII) as the winner of the Community Service Challenge for spring 2022. The district’s physical education, health, and athletics department, formed a leadership group called StudentAthletes in Service to Others. More than 60 students with grade point averages of 90 or above, who participate in at least one varsity sport, were referred to the group by a coach or a teacher. Student-Athletes in Service to Others organized the school’s life-fit ‘challenger’ basketball games, hosted a multi-school kickball tournament, and offered tutoring sessions. The group also created a video that was released on social media to high light the importance of student-athlete mental health. “It is a privilege and honor to work with such amazing student-athletes who understand that high school athletics is about a cause greater than one self,” said Thomas Lehman, Oceanside School District’s director of physical edu cation, health and athletics. “Our stu dents focus on being well-rounded people in the classroom, community, and on the playing surface, which leads to a lifetime of success. The mental health video creat ed by our student-athletes is just a small example of service that takes place in our school community daily.”

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’?

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 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.”

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 team mates,” said McGuinness. “I always did what needed to be done for the best inter ests of my guys. Not being out there with them really hurt, throughout the whole process.”Heunderwent surgery in February of 2016, as doctors removed extra scar tissue that had formed throughout years of com petitive playing, and fixed a pinched nerve they had discovered. Before the sur gery, 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 justTheheartbreaking.”daysduring 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 elementa ry school, he knew he wanted to join the Navy, just like his uncle who served for 29 years. For this to become reality, he knew he would have to start putting in the hard work, and soon. “That summer, I hit the ground run ning, 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.Afterhegraduated in 2018, McGuin ness 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 offi cers in the Navy and Marine Corps. Since he thought he could no longer compete in sports, he was bent on fulfilling his life long 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 doc tors and from his lieutenants explaining his physical excellence within his unit, McGuinness proved that his injury would not get in the way of his suc cess.He ended up playing sports again after all, joining his university’s divi sion 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 competi tion and demonstrate a successful balance between academic achieve ment, student organization and intercollegiate athletic participation. In May, McGuinness was commis sioned into the United States Navy and is set to be a surface warfare offi cer next Throughspring.all of his struggles, McGuinness remembered his favor ite saying: “Mindset is everything.” “We all go through different chal lenges 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 situa tion better, and it allows others to see that there are multiple ways to go about a situation that they may be facing.”

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 depres sion.“Depression and anxiety are some of the most prevalent mental health problems out there,” said Berr, a licensed clinical social worker. “With out 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 ful filling 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 cop ingSheskills.”says she has seen an uptick in cases, due to recent events. “There’s always been a lot of anxi ety, 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 pan demic and worries about health and school shootings; all these things have triggered a tremendous amount of anx iety in both adults and children.” She also enjoys working with chil dren, as it allows her to embrace her creative“Workingside. 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 differ ent 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 their world. I’ve always had tremendous success with kids; I get referred to all the time. There are more kids that need treat ment than there are therapists that are willing to treat them and do it well, so it’s a much needed area.”
‘Helper Heidi’ Berr is an asset to the community Heidi
She says that kids also face a unique set of “Theyissues.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 par ents 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 sub ject of her new self-pub lished book is “adult chil dren.”“Ispecialize in working with a lot of 20-somethings because I think it’s an area of so much growth and change,” Berr said. “There 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.”

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.

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.“

• Understand your customer’s Measure
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 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 ques tions reveal what a fearful life style 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-sav vy you are. You habitu ally take the easy way out – developing a pat tern of reflexive nay saying rather than reflective thought. If you’re worryingconsistentlyaboutsetbacks,troubles,problems,orcalamitiesthat might befall you or your loved ones, it makes it difficult, if not impossi ble, to think constructively. Fear pinches choices Fear restricts your ability to take action. You approach life with a better safe than sorry phi 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 expe riences in this world. Instead of being a happy camper, you become bored, discon tent, and envious of others who live a more carefree life. In this age of Covid, does this mean paying no atten tion to safety proto cols? Not at all! It means enjoying expe riences outdoors and/ or wearing your mask! Fear squeezes all the fun, excitement, and juiciness out of life. If fear holds sway over your emotions, it’s easy to feel physical ly exhausted and emotionally depleted. Life feels tough. Work feels burdensome. Mingling with 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 hard ships of life that none of us totally escape.Aren’t you too smart to let yourself become one of those peo ple 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!
The toll fear takes on all of us

I recently did an inspection and found another common problem: There were wall studs missing at corners and ceiling joists missing at wall and ceil ing junctions. Without these “nailers,” there’s no place to screw-attach the gypsum wallboard, which can’t just be left to flop in a corner. On the worksite, everyone has a complaint about something, it seems, and the drywall subcontractors want good locations to easily attach, such as the nailers and straight wall studs. I have seen many good carpenters, over the years, inspect the lumber as it’s delivered, holding the planks and studs so that they can stare down the length of the wood and check the straightness, which is generally achieved by letting the freshly cut lumber either kiln-dry or air-dry for many weeks before shipment. Unfortunately, the mills were behind when construction demand went up after the coronavirus crisis, so lumber is “greener” when it ships, filled with much more moisture and able to bow and warp more. This will be a problem, and I expect more calls from people who will be misguided away from this real cause when there are cracks in the walls. The blame will be placed on structural design, a fallacy, to deflect from the movement of wood with greater moisture content as it acclimates to a house when the heat gets turned on over the following winter. You may see this, too. Good luck! ArchitectThe Monte Leeper

Ask
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.

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.
Although Florida is facing a dire teacher shortage, the governor’s plan is disre spectful to both students and the veterans.
Florida Gov. DeSantis: teachers need to be educated
JERRY KREMER
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.
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.
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.”

Protect democracy: Become an election protector d uring the traditional dog days of summer, many people are more apt to relax on vacation than to think about whom they plan to vote for in the upcoming elections, never mind how they can help ensure vot ers’ rights at the polling place. What was custom just a few years ago, however, has been tossed on the scrap heap, as early voting and the expanded use of absentee ballots have shifted vot ingNewhabits.census data led to a redrawing of political districts, upending the 2022 elec tionInseason.June,which has become the prima ry month in New York state in the past few years, there were gubernatorial and Assembly primaries. But because there was a brouhaha over how the congressio nal and state senatorial districts were drawn, the legal wrangling pushed those primaries to Aug. 23. With those votes approaching and the general election in November, it’s not just voting that is important, but protecting the right to vote as well. In this country, “one person, one vote” truly means that when a ballot is filled out, that vote will count. Whether it’s an election with a razor-thin margin between candidates or an overwhelming victory, we take for granted that every one’s vote counted. From local elections such as the 2021 race for Nassau County executive — in which Bruce Blakeman’s margin of victo ry over Laura Curran was 2,150 votes — to George W. Bush’s victory over Al Gore in the presidential election 21 years earli er that was decided by 537 votes in Flori da, every vote is consequential. And pro tecting that vote is essential. In order to safeguard the act of voting, we need election protectors. What are they? According to the Election Protec tion coalition organized by the political watchdog group Common Cause, an elec tion protector is a trained, nonpartisan onsite volunteer who can explain voting rules and help troubleshoot issues with voting. Election Protection is an effort to overcome what Common Cause describes as the “outdated infrastructure, rampant misinformation and needless obstacles to the ballot Commonbox.”Cause dates back to the Nixon administration, when it was found ed by John Gardner, a Republican cabinet member in President Lyndon B. John son’s administration. The initial push of Common Cause was to end the Vietnam War and lower the voting age in the U.S. from 21 to 18. Today, the nationwide coalition aims to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to vote, and that that vote counts. There are more than 300 local, state and national Election Protection partners, according to Common Cause. Whoa, you may think. Is this just another way for one political party to gain an advantage over the other? No. Signing on and learning how to be an election protector simply means you play a vital role in the most critical cog that makes this nation’s democracy work: vot ing.No matter which political party you are affiliated with, and no matter which political philosophy you are aligned with, you, as a citizen of this country, have the civic responsibility to take part in its gov ernment.Whenyou vote in an election, you exer cise your right to give voice to your opin ions. An election protector helps safe guard that right, which in turn safe guards our democracy. “The most important political office is that of the private citizen,” Louis Brandeis wrote over a century ago, early in a legal career that eventually took him to the U.S. Supreme Court. By becoming an election protector, you will serve a dual purpose: protecting the right of people to vote, while breathing life into Brandeis’s words.
letters Kudos to Hinman for his shipwreck research To the Editor: I liked Executive Editor Michael Hinman’s column, “Two heroes, and one captain who should’ve been ashamed,” last week. I’ve been the historian of the Village of Lynbrook for over 30 years, and am the author of “Water & Ice: The Tragic Wrecks of the Bristol and the Mexico on the South Shore of Long Island.” (The book is available on Amazon.) I have also had dozens of local history arti cles published in the Herald over the years, including several related to the two wrecks, and to the annual cere mony that I help organize at the mon ument, along with the Ancient Order of Hibernians of Nassau County and the Historical Society of East Rocka way and Hinman’sLynbrook.detailed summary of the You can become an election protector by signing up at the ProtectTheVote.net website. information on elections and voting, go to the Nassau County Board of Elections website, NassauCountyNY.gov, or call (516) 571-8683.

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