It’s a tradition dating back to some of the earliest days of modern construction. When a building is almost completed, the builders celebrate its con struction by placing the last steel beam at the highest point in what’s known as a “topping out”Mountceremony.Sinai South Nassau upheld this custom with its own topping out ceremony last week, celebrating the comple tion of the four-story J Wing Patient Pavilion at Oceanside’s

Mount Sinai’s operating rooms are fully functional and viable facilities, the spokesman added, but openheart surgery and other cardiac procedures require larg er rooms to accommodate all necessary equipment — which the new patient pavilion will provide. Standard operating rooms of this scale require 250 square feet, but the J Wing Pavilion will provide operating rooms of up to 600 square feet.

“We used some of the FEMA money in the Long

Beach Medical Center, and some of it here to strengthen our campus,” Calderone said.

This building would make Mount Sinai the only hos pital on the South Shore to offer cardiac services, Shar ma added, assuming it’s approved by the health depart ment. The pavilion would also be a boon for the hospital if another global pandemic were to occur in the future.

gery“Thecenters.challenge

The patient pavilion will feature an extended emer gency department, add 40 new beds for critical care patients, and nine modern surgical suites under one roof. Joe Calderone, a spokesman for Mount Sinai, said the operating rooms would be large enough to potentially provide open-heart surgery and other cardiac services — if approved.“Currently we need a certificate of need from the New York State Department of Health,” Calderone said. “But providing open-heart surgery to our patients is the goal.”

The patient pavilion’s construction is part of a Feder al Emergency Management Agency project as a result of the flooding and damage that occurred at the Long Beach Medical Center following Hurricane Sandy. In all, FEMA is providing $113 million to the project — part of an over all $158 million in funding that also includes the Long Beach Medical Center.

Joseph Fennessy, immediate past chair of Mount Sinai South Nassau’s board of directors, says the medi cal group needed to consider where the health care industry was going. A lot of what hospitals traditionally provided was becoming part of services now taking place in the offices of physicians and ambulatory sur

Theout.pandemic did slow the pavilion’s construction, however, thanks to both illness and supply chain issues. What was supposed to have been opened by now is now expected to start serving South Shore patients in 2024.

ConstruCtion workers sal Gustella and Curran Digney signed their names on the final beam steel beam of the J Wing Patient Pavilion as part of its topping out ceremony last week at Mount Sinai South Nassau in Oceanside. The pavilion will open in 2024.

The hospital has learned many new techniques to optimize exposure and infection prevention within the hospital following the pandemic, Sharma said. For exam ple, all emergency treatment areas are now built as sin gle rooms with hard walls — instead of curtains — to prevent the spread of disease. The air filtration system is designed such that each patient has clean air coming in from the outside in their rooms, while hospital air is fil tered

The beam was placed up past the fourth floor and toward the back, said Mark Brundage, a sales and opera tions worker for JC Steel, who created the beam. Even so, its tree was still visible from Nassau Road.

Dr. Adhi Sharma, president Mount Sinai South Nas sau, said planning for the J Wing Patient Pavilion began in 2018 after learning neighbors in and around Oceans ide were seeking cardiac procedures over the river in Manhattan.“Whenwe partnered with Mount Sinai in 2018, we shared our goal to grow our cardiac program at this hos pital,” Sharma said. “In supporting that goal, they’ve worked with us toward expanding cardiac services at the hospital including — open-heart surgery, expanded structural heart programs and electrophysiology.”

for us as board members was to figure out how we’d be relevant in the new world of health care,” Fennessy said. “We realized we need to be an insti tution that performs more tertiary-type work — like open-heart surgery — things that are more complex, to meet the needs of South Shore residents.”

“The reassurance of access cultivates a relationship of honesty between health care professionals and the public,” she added.Abortion restrictions in the Town of North Hempstead were adopted in late 1971, a year after the state senate legalized abortion up to the 24th week of pregnancy, and two years before the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on Roe v. Wade.

Some are urging lawmakers repeal of restrictive abortion statutes found in five Long Island municipalities. They suggest these restrictive laws set a precedent for future restrictions to abortion access. Those who violate these laws could face jail time and fines.

“Restricting access affects overall safety, as well as men tal and physical health,” she said.Mehra believes access to abortion is crucial to the overall wellbeing of a woman’s health.

“Thererules.are those running for office right now trying to repeal these efforts,” Stilliti said. “As a proud pro-choice elected official, we have to make sure every loop hole is closed, and closed tight.”Kaplan expressed her con cerns over what she described as the U.S. Supreme Court’s reckless decision to hinder constitutional rights. She believes it’s the responsibility of legislators like her to fight for rights at every level of gov ernment, stressing that there are people who will use politi cal discourse to restrict the rights of women.

Yet, there are many who believe over turning Roe was the right decision. Some, like anti-abortion advocate Marie Coyle of Glen Cove believed abortion simply dis missed the potential and value for human life.“I think we’re tampering in areas that we should not,” Coyle said. “You can con trol your body before, but once you have a child within you, you can’t control that, it’s left to God.”

At a news conference in front of the Nassau County Courthouse last week, local officials joined pro-abortion activists to condemn these laws. State Sen. Anna Kaplan and Assemblywoman Gina Sillitti were joined by Sen. John Brooks, Assem blywomen Judy Griffin and Taylor Dar ling, as well as some council members

these draconian restrictions to the dust bin of history where they belong.”

The Rev. Roger Williams of First Bap tist Church of Glen Cove believes in the sanctity of life, but is politically proabortion. Williams is not in favor of the atmosphere surrounding Roe, however, believing the movement too politically motivated.“Idon’t want to sound like I’m making a judgment against individuals who are pro-life and anti-abortion, but I don’t see that movement being completely con cerned with life all together,” he said.

“It’s shocking that over a million people on Long Island currently live in a community where there are still abortion restrictions on the books,” Kaplan said. “We know that these laws were enacted with the sole purpose of getting between women and their right to choose.”Thestate senator also believes officials in affected communities should follow the lead of the Town of North Hempstead.

HERALD—202215,September 8

With the repeal of Roe v. Wade still fresh in many minds, restrictions on abor tions found in local municipal codes are being rediscovered again across several Long Island municipalities — laws some fear could create blueprints for future restrictions.Thelaws — written before the famous 1973 decision that rendered them moot — have turned up in the towns of Hemp stead, Oyster Bay and Huntington, as well as the villages of Freeport and Wil liston Park. The laws restrict abortion access of any kind — including medica tion-based, non-surgical procedures — and require abortions to occur only in a hospitalThosesetting.foundviolating these laws could have been subject to jail time and fines. While state law is in place protecting pro cedures to end pregnancies, some local officials say these old restrictions would have effectively outlawed abortion clinics like those run by Planned Parenthood while adding barriers to women accessing specific kinds of health care.

“We should stand up for women by repealing these unjust barriers to abor tion care,” Kaplan said, “and finally send

Williams believes for and against abortion have been very harsh to women, and refuse to provide an adequate sup port system for mothers and children after birth.

Abortion laws uncovered in town codes

Coyle believes children not wanted by their mothers should be placed in adoptive care so their potential for life isn’t squan dered.There are also others who, believe it or not, don’t have a strong opinion one way or the other on the controversial topic.

Conference AA-1 is again expected to be an uber- competitive group after nine teams finished with better than .500 records last year.

fter a memorable run to the county semifinals last sea son, the Oceanside boys’ soccer team has its sights set on even bigger goals for 2022.

The Sailors closed the 2021 campaign with an 11-game unbeaten streak (8-0-3) and blanked Hicksville 3-0 in the county quarters on Oct. 27. The run ended with a 4-2 loss to conference-foe Westbury four days later, but graduation didn’t deplete the roster too much, leaving the team with enough weapons at both ends of the pitch to make another run.

That, combined with the hunger that coach Patrick Turk saw with his team in training camp, could result in another special year for the Sailors, who beat Farmingdale 3-2 last Saturday on Antho ny Picillo’s late goal after dropping a 4-2 decision to Garden City in the opener three days earlier.

“We feel pretty good about the squad that we’re bringing forward,” Sailors coach Patrick Turk said. “We feel that we’re not going to dip and we feel like we’ll be able to let people know that it’s not just a special class, that it’s a solid program in Oceanside.”

The offense finished with a Class AAbest plus-23 goal differential in conference play last year and returned Dan Santos (7 goals in 2021) and Ethan Recchia (5), with JV star Giacomo Vacchio joining the mix. Vacchio has already scored in each of the first two games this season and Santos and Recchia also have their firsts.

Santos, one of the team’s tri-captains, showed explosive tendencies last year with a hat trick against East Meadow in the penultimate game of the 2021 regular season before netting another goal against“He’sHicksville.aleaderby example,” Turk said.

Jacob Raphan had four saves against Garden City and is expected to get the bulk of the playing time in goal this sea son, but the Sailors do have a capable backup in junior Joseph Zweben.

it’s important, however, for riders to remember they aren’t the only ones traveling.

After more than two years, Long Island Rail Road com muters can now decide for themselves when — and where — to mask up while riding the rails. At least, officially.

But some public health experts — like Dr. Bruce Hirsch of the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra and Northwell — are concerned the call to make masks optional may have come too soon. Especially as winter approaches.Whilethe spread of the virus has stabilized, one omi cron subvariant considered the virus’ most contagious strain to date, “is pretty good at sidestepping from immu nity and causing infection, even in people who have been infected before and vaccinated,” Hirsch said. “And I think that this will increase the amount of transmission and increase the amount of Covid infection in our area if large numbers of us are going without a mask.”

“Fresh air replaces the air in LIRR train cars once every five minutes,” Minton said, in a statement. “Air fil ters are in the process of being upgraded,” said Minton in aRoughlystatement.athird of the air traveling through the car is fresh air pulled from above the roof of each car where two units of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems are mounted. A key advantage of the LIRR is its many stations — 124 in total — that allows for cars to reg ularly slide open doors and let in fresh air.

“I’m imploring people to remember that there are friends, neighbors and loved ones in our immediate vicinity who may be older, who may have a weakened immune system, who may be required to take medica tions that diminish their immune response,” he said.

“Please wear a mask, out of courtesy and in solidarity with those people whose health is immune-compro mised.”

GOv. KAthy hOchUL announced last week the end of the mask mandate on public transportation — including busses and subways in New York City, as well as the Long Island Rail Road — shedding a requirement first instituted at the height of the coronavirus pandemic more than two years ago, which has been largely ignored over the last several months anyway.

Where health officials once considered mask-wearing a must for those traveling in densely ridden, close-con tact spaces like trains, buses and subways to curb the spread of the virus that causes Covid-19, Hochul argued her policy shift keeps in step with the latest health data, and high vaccination rates.

MTA officials wouldn’t say if they would consider

It’s a health provision that, according to spokesman Tim Minton, the MTA has fortified.

At least one of three safeguards are currently in the MTA’s control: ventilation. It’s by no means a cure-all for stopping the spread of Covid-19, but high-quality ventila tion reduces the concentration of coronavirus particles in the air.

“We’re in a far different place than we had been,” Hochul said. “We are seeing major declines in hospital izations. We have to restore some normalcy to our lives.”

Masks now encouraged, but not required

Gov. Kathy Hochul lifted the state-imposed mask man date last week, which was put in place by her predeces sor, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, at the height of the coronavi rus pandemic in early 2020. The move affects not only the LIRR, but also the rest of the Metropolitan Transporta tion Authority, including New York City buses and sub ways, as well as the Metro-North Railroad.

instituting their own mask mandate, but as of early this week, haven’t taken any such steps. Instead, they pointed to a 2020 study conducted for the American Public Trans portation Association that found no inflated risk of virus

transmission on public transportation, “especially where specific safeguards are in place — such as face coverings, well-functioning ventilation systems, and minimal talking by riders.”

Despite Hochul’s change, free masks will continue to be available to anyone who requests one, Minton said. The MTA says it’s distributed 56 million free masks since the beginning of the pandemic — more than 60,000 per day on Hirschaverage.says

Those short-lived delights of the season have arrived: juicy, crisp apples, sweet cider, harvest fairs — and, of course, some pumpkins along the way. Apple picking awaits, and is well underway at Long Island’s “u-pick” orchards.

Also consider newer varieties such as RubyFrost, SnapDragon and SweeTango. The RubyFrost’s blend of sweet and tart flavors and its crisp texture make it a great choice for eating as-is, and for use in baking salads and sauces. The sweet juicy SnapDragon is characterized by a “monster crunch.” One of its parents is the Honeycrisp, and you’ll love the spicy/sweet flavor. Honeycrisp has also given us SweeTango, characterized by its crunchy sweet flavor.

Under the current income require ments, 9,000 households are benefiting from exemptions, according to Abraham, who added that that number could double once the new income caps are put in place.

According to tax-rates.org, the median property tax bill in Nassau County is $8,711 per year, for a home with the coun ty’s median value of $487,900. Nassau col lects, on average, 1.79 percent of a proper ty’s assessed fair market value as property tax.The website also states that the average yearly property tax paid by Nassau resi dents is just over 8 percent of their annual income.Both Republicans and Democrats in the

State Legislature voted for the new income eligibility, Democratic Sen. Kevin Thomas said at the news conference. “This is some thing that both sides agree on,” he said. “Failing to adopt these measures in Nas sau County will leave vulnerable residents without the crucial relief they are entitled to andRepublicandeserve.”

At a news conference on Sept. 7, the Legislature’s minority leader, Democrat Kevan Abrahams, urged his Republican colleagues to expand the income caps, say ing that the legislation was more impor tant than ever, with people still struggling and still recovering from the coronavirus pandemic. “Nassau County is one of the

I thank the bill sponsors for getting this legislation over the finish line, and for their partnership in our mission to keep New York affordable.”

ON Sept. 7, the Nassau County Legislature’s minority leader, Democrat Kevan Abrahams, urged his Republican colleagues in the majority to expand the income caps for senior citizens and the disabled that would allow them to be exempt from a percentage of their property tax assessments. Later that day, the Legislature voted to approve the increased

LAWRENCE SOUTH Sale By Owner

Q. Our new home is pretty old, from 1920. We want to update it and have a lot of concerns, with taxes if we enlarge it, cost if we get rid of walls, widen ing our driveway to park more cars and what you think about getting rid of our garage for more room instead of building up. It’s a one-story with low ceil ings on the second floor that are really too small for bedrooms. My parents have been reading your column for many years and suggested you could help. What can you tell us?

Ask ArchitectThe

Making an old home newer

A. It’s hard for me not to feel as old as your house when you put it that way, but after writing this column for 33 years, I’m often doing work for children of former cli ents, and have gotten your question thousands of times. First, almost any thing you do that adds space to your home also adds value, and value increases taxes. Cosmetic changes like siding, win dows or an asphalt or con crete driveway generally don’t affect the value, but luxury materials, such as stone facing or interlocking pavers, will.

Package all this to be reviewed by building officials and receive permission to build — sounds simpler than it is, especially when workers leave details out or change something and we start adjusting all over again, only after much discussion, time and money. That’s also part of the age-old process. Avoid chang es once you decide, save money doing so and your old house will be like new again.

Most of the time, people complain about taxa tion but rarely, if ever, do they collectively attempt to do anything about it. The methods for deciding value, or even using value as a gauge for tax increases, are questionable, especially because we used to be taxed based on square feet. As we transi tion into not leaving our homes, communicating digitally, the tax system perpetuates without chal lenge.Inmany villages and towns, garages are required, and hard surfaces for any kind of paving are considered “impervious,” not replenishing groundwater. There are limits on how much of your total property you can cover. You will need to investigate your specific jurisdiction’s require ments. Sidewalks, patios and driveways are all impervious, but pools and decks generally are not.

H4 09/15

You’ll need your property survey, which is a map of your lot, house size and location, but you’ll also discover that surveyors generally don’t provide the dimensions of porches, sidewalks, driveways or steps. Get out a tape measure and accurately docu ment the property’s hard surfaces if you’re in a community that requires impervious-area informa tion. When you hire an architect or engineer, that’s what we have to do.

The only way to answer questions about remov ing walls is to assess the whole house: where to dis perse loads, how to brace exterior walls against wind shear, how to handle snow loads and wind uplift, where pipes and wires would be relocated, how the spaces function and will be finished.

But the bumbling president at the time, James Buchanan, did little to cool tensions. In his inaugural address in 1957, Buchanan described the sectional ism between North and South as “happi ly a matter of but little practical impor tance.” The U.S. Supreme Court, he said, would settle the matter “speedily and finally.”Thehigh court did, with the Dred Scott decision, which held that Congress had no constitutional power to deprive slavehold ers of their property rights. And Black slaves were property.Theseeds of the Civil War were sprouting.

From the queen to the U.S. jester-in-chief

Does it seem likely that Trump pored over these documents, achieving a sophis ticated level of comprehension? No. Nah. Never. He just grabbed the stuff like a hyped-up teen robber sweeping the money out of the till at a 7-Eleven on his way out. He didn’t stop to count the bills.

guests might be that nefarious person who looks for breaks in security and seiz es the moment to do harm to the United States.Ignorance, though, is not a defense. We still don’t know if Trump will be held legally accountable for flouting the laws of the country that apply to every other citizen. We don’t know how this will end, but the entire affair speaks to the man’s fantasy that he is somehow above thoseI’mlaws.thinking about this as our friends the Brits mourn the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, who reigned for 72 years and died last week at her summer home at Balmoral. She ascended the throne when she was 25 and stayed for seven decades. She was the living, breathing essence of duty to country and service to her citi zens. Propriety was the guiding principle of her reign, and she won the loyalty and love of her people by elevating civility and democracy and stepping back from any personal fanfare or glory.

a “mistress . . . I mean the harlot, slavery.” Sumner staggered around the Senate floor, so badly beaten that his recovery took months. Brooks simply walked out of the chambers without being stopped. He was eventually censured by the House andTheresigned.country seemed to be splitting in half, as it eventually did with the advent of the Civil War.

I don’t think he had a plan. I don’t think there was some nefarious plot in the works. Like you and the rest of Amer ica, I have observed Trump moving through his days and weeks and years in a reckless and reactive mode in which he does and says stuff and then sees what

Just last month, Sen. Lindsey Gra ham, a Republican from South Carolina, said there would be “riots in the street” if Trump were prosecuted for taking the classified documents from the White House.And only months ago, Rep. Madison Cawthorn, a North Carolina Republican, insisted that the U.S. elections system is “rigged,” and, he added, that would “lead to one place, and that’s bloodshed.”

It isn’t even Democrats and Republi cans who are so completely at odds, as it is MAGA supporters and the rest of the country. The supporters of Donald Trump continue to deny the results of the 2020 election, despite any number of recounts, decisions by judges tossing out claims of fraud, and the public pro nouncements of Trump’s former attor ney general, Bill Barr, that the clams of a

He is not a thinker. I don’t believe he ever worried that unfriendly eyes might fall on these protected documents, or that someone in the crowds of Mar-a-Lago

You can see proof of this in his law yers’ rolling defense of keeping classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. It went from calling the dis covery of top-secret papers a hoax, to saying the FBI planted the papers, to claim ing he “declassified” them before he snatched them, to insisting he was in the pro cess of giving them back. There wasn’t one moment of concern for the yearslong work that might be undone. Not a single gesture of contrition for possibly endangering our assets overseas. I think even Aunt Maddie would have grasped the sobering consequences of such careless handling of top secrets.

Robert Reich, the U.S. labor secretary under President Bill Clinton, has said he believes a second Civil War has already begun, but less of a “war” than “a kind of benign separation analogous to unhappily married people who don’t want to go through the trauma of a for mal divorce.” Reich sees a situation in America similar to Europe’s Brexit, “a lumbering, mutual decision to go sepa rate ways on most things but remain con nected on a few big things.”

We, on the other hand, have been blighted in recent years by a showboating president without a moral center, a man who holds nothing sacred aside from his own endless push for power. A jester who never leaves the stage.

“I’m troubled too by the role the (for mer) president plays in contributing to this atmosphere,” Silber said.

A number of prominent historians are now asking whether we are close to Civil War 2. “Civil War” is now a rallying cry by some Americans who wear the slogan on T-shirts. Others train in rural areas with assault weapons. Since the Mar-a-Lago search, media sites including Gab and Telegram use phrases such as “lock and load” and “civil war.”

n the mid-1800s, there were scorch ing debates taking place in the U.S. Congress between politicians in the North, who opposed slavery, and those in the South, who favored the insti tution.In1856, things got so heated that one U.S. senator, Charles Sumner, an antislavery Massachusetts Republican, was brutally beaten with a cane PrestonCongressmanbyBrooks, a South Butlerremoved,cousinBrooks’sAndrewCarolinainsultedSumnerbeforeDemocrat.CarolinaJusttheattack,hadSouthSen.Butler,firstoncesayinghadtaken

sticks, and then does the next thing. He deals with an issue in the moment and deals with any consequences later.

Nina Silber, an American history pro fessor and the president of the Society of Civil War Historians, who has written several books on the subject, said in a Boston University interview that she saw similarities between the Civil War era and now, particularly in “the tendency toward heated and extreme political rhetoric” and “the inability to find politi cal middle ground.”

When I thought about Aunt Maddie, I realized what makes Trump tick. Nothing. Nothing is ticking. I see him as 100 percent reactive and zero percent con templative. I believe that he indiscrimi nately grabbed whatever paperwork looked of possible interest at the White House and later shoved it in the drawers at his golf club.

Will there be more canings in the Senate chamber?

In the two years since President Biden’s election, the divisions have become wider, and more violent. There was Jan. 6; Charlottesville, Virginia; and now the threats against FBI agents after the court-backed raid of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, where he had stashed clas sified documents.

But when you take the oath of office as president, and swear: “I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, pro tect and defend the Consti tution of the United States,” you need to follow all the rules for keeping state secrets secure. When you leave office, you don’t get to take classified souvenirs.

From my point of view, for what it’s worth, we have been ahead of Europe in many ways since the American Revolu tion.Let’s not begin following the continent now.

hen I learned that Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago desk looks a lot like my Aunt Maddie’s, I wasn’t surprised. Auntie M, the unfortunate product of a disordered mind, compounded by an instinct to hoard, further complicated by a sweeping disregard for others’ opinions, dumped all her paperwork, from utility bills to MRIs of her brain, in her “junk” drawer. That was the generic term for all of her drawers and closets, which were stuffed tight with papers and States.ofwasn’tAuntfolders.Fortunately,MaddiepresidenttheUnitedShedidn’t

In today’s climate, that is very rare. It is clear she has searched much for answers concerning the science and the exploration of the age-old question of when life begins, and I hope she continues to do so.

And what other severe weather event could kids enjoy more than freshly fall en snow — and a lot of it? Sledding, for example, is a pastime no one young or old should be denied. Or building snow men. Or constructing snow forts. Or cre ating snow angels.

To the Editor:

It’s not that education isn’t important — it is. But a snow day isn’t a lost day. It’s a delayed day. Any class missed because of snow in the winter months is made up in the spring. And if Mother Nature is kind and doesn’t interfere with classes, those spring days become time off for students and teachers any way.All of us deserve a pleasant surprise, like a snow day, once in a while. And all of us deserve a chance to enjoy the world around us, even if it’s just for a day here and there.

New York City has completely done away with snow days, but the city should follow Long Island’s lead. Sure, there are fewer snow days than there were before the pandemic, but our dis tricts are working hard to balance the need to educate with their students’ need to just live sometimes. And they are doing the right thing with a hybrid model that essentially splits the differ ence.Keep the snow days. At least some of them. They’re not just a thing of won der, but a chance to create lasting mem ories, and a fresh appreciation of the value of an unexpected breather.

That meant no more snow days — a concept that, at least for several school districts in Nassau County, was shortlived. While not ignoring the benefits of remote learning, these districts decided to keep at least some snow days in place, believing that there’s a benefit to pro viding that unexpected day off for their students and teachers.

As the pandemic subsided and schools reopened, many school adminis trations wondered aloud why newfound resources like Zoom had to go. And somewhere, the idea was born to use the remote classrooms set up during the pandemic to keep schools operating on days where weather made it impossible to step onto campus.

ournalist and bestselling author Susan Orlean once described a snow day as “literally and figura tively” something that “falls from the sky — unbidden — and seems like a thing of Unlesswonder.”yougrew up somewhere snow didn’t exist, you likely woke up many a winter morning as a child, excited to see nothing but glistening white outside your window that wasn’t there the night before. That almost guaranteed the one thing nearly all schoolkids hope for dur ing the coldest months: a snow day.

ting all the students logged back in effectively, when many are simply out of practice doing so.

Schools are right to resurrect the snow day

It’s difficult to determine how — and when — the modern snow day came into being, except that it likely required the means to communicate a delay or can cellation — telephones or radios. Today, such alerts are spread through more direct means, like text messages and email.But the excitement those alerts gen erate is almost certainly no different in 2022 than it was in 1922.

But as part of the “new normal” cre ated by the coronavirus pandemic, it seemed the snow day was becoming a relic of the past. Lockdowns closed schools, forcing millions of students across the country — and around the world — to turn to technology. Thanks to computers, web cams and the inter net, lessons could continue without the need to step inside a classroom.

We live in a world in which we are too quick to make deci sions, and then remain totally closed to discussion or writ ings that may differ, even as new research continues. Sadly,

How about Biden as a failed presi dent? Inflation has skyrocketed, but so has job growth. The economy screams recession, but if it’s out there, no one has quite found it.

Essentially, Trump was always running against “crooked” Hillary Clinton and the pre-Trump estab lishment — even when Clinton wasn’t in the race and the establishment was Trump’s own.

this is true in all areas of science and philosophy, and prevents better under standing and clarification of many “truths” that no longer stand up in our ever-changing world.

That didn’t stop the then president from trying to link Biden with socialism anyway, but no one was buying it. At least not enough to swing the gener al election in Trump’s favor.

vs. Sanders, Democrats ultimately went a different route. The anti-Bernie route. The Joe Biden route.

So how will Trump frame 2024? Can he recapture any of his 2016 anti-estab lishment magic? That’s doubtful, because he and many of his acolytes are the establishment.Maybethistime he can get Biden-as-asocialist to stick. Biden is hardly the poster child of anything too hard left. And even his more progressive, Sandersesque agenda items have been torn apart in Congress — with little argument from Biden himself. The late President Lyn don Johnson is rolling in his grave at how passive-aggressive Biden is with the

Answers may not be found, but at the right time and in the right place, the truth will find the person who is looking for them. And please don’t leave out Gen esis 1:27 and Isaiah 49. It’s my hope that Greenberg will be rewarded with the continued gifts in the goodness and kind ness that she has shown in her writing.

Whether they’re ready to migrate or not — Wantagh

Outside of former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Biden was the only candidate who never aligned with Sanders. So, in nomi nating Biden, Democrats went against Trump’s wish es.

John O’Connell for his op-ed in the Sept. 1-7 issue, “Where has all the competence gone?” He precisely voiced my sentiments and, I’m sure, those of many Americans around us. It is indeed very sad that we are amazed when we witness something being done competently, on time and without fuss. It is even more distressing that the pros pects of any improvement are quite dim.

he likelihood that former presi dent Donald Trump will run again in 2024 seems to increase by the day. Unless the Mar-a-Lago raid turns up something that leads to a criminal indictment, it would be some what anticlimactic for Trump to have hyped up the imagined grand announce ment, only to conclude with, “I’m not acrossbeentimentestablishmentizedOne.2016HillarySecretaryagainstrunis,running.”So,thequestionwhowouldheagainst?TrumpranformerofStateClintoninfromDayHecapitalonananti-senthathadpercolatingAmericain

likes of West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin.

Trump apparently feared the idea of Clinton even considering the Ver mont senator as her run ning mate, calling Sanders “the only one I didn’t want her to pick” — perhaps aware of how much Sand ers could have disrupted Trump’s campaign mes sage.But everything changed in 2020. How could Trump run against the establish ment when he was now the establishment? So he tried a different approach. The entrenched elite wasn’t the boogeyman this time around; it was socialism. And as far as Trump and his supporters were concerned, “Democrat” and “socialist” were interchangeable terms.Trump was almost gleeful when Sand ers — a self-described “democratic socialist” — was winning the early pri maries in 2020. Trump strategist Michael Caputo even said that “the only thing better for Trump than Bernie getting screwed out of the nomination (is) if Bernie wins the nomination.”

And Biden has been on a bit of a roll lately. Some key measures he has cham pioned, tackling inflation and the envi ronment, have been signed into law, and he just took out a key terrorist in the MiddleBidenEast.may have led a disastrous pullout from Afghanistan last year, but now he has finessed the war in Ukraine to make Russian dictator Vladimir Putin look like the monster he is without put ting a single pair of American boots on the ground there.

I hope Greeberg continues to research and look for answers on the Roe v. Wade ruling. I would also suggest that she Google “A lifelong connection that starts in the womb.” It was written on Aug. 7, 2017, and adds a whole new dimension to what we know about cells in utero. Our technology, showing how life begins and grows from conception, gets better every day. She might want to read “Unplanned,” by Abby Johnson, about what she came to know, and how.

ty’s nomination of Clinton for president, however, played right into Trump’s cam paign message: As the anti-establish ment candidate, who was a better repre sentation of the establishment — and the perfect villain — than Hillary Clinton?

Trump repeatedly singled out Bush — the one-time frontrunner who counts both a father and a brother as one-time occupants of the Oval Office — in a move that signified that Trump was going against the Republican Party of old. Sen. Bernie Sanders had similar suc cess against Clinton in 2016, albeit not quite as successful. The Democratic Par

But how will the former president present his message? Biden isn’t exactly a great president, but he’s not a failed one, either. If Trump gets past his legal troubles to make another run for the Oval Office, his only chance to come out on top could very well require changing his playbook completely.
