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

After a vote in the County Legislature, Nassau seniors and disabled people who earn up to $58,400 can expect to be exempt from at least 5 percent of their property tax assessments. Those who earn less, a maximum of $50,000 annually, can antici pate being 50 percent exempt.

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

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

The unanimous vote, on Sept. 7, raised the income cap from $34,000 to $58,400 for the lowest percentage of exemption, and from $20,000 to $50,000 for the 50 percent exemption.Aspokesman for County Executive Bruce Blakeman said that he would sign theThebill. change in the law came after Gov. Kathy Hochul signed state legislation on Aug. 8 authorizing counties like Nassau to opt into the new, higher-income eligibility levels. The county legislation would give Nassau County the same income caps as New York City.

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

There are two bills that allow the exemptions, one for those who are disabled and earn up to $58,400, and one for seniors who meet the income requirements.

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.”

The New York City metropolitan area was, collectively and profoundly affected by the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, 21 years ago now. Wantagh and Seaford were no exceptions to this; they both lost mem bers of their communities to these attacks. Both hamlets do their best to keep the memories of these heroes alive, and did so this past Sunday in ceremo nies.Wantagh paid tribute to its fallen heroes – Richard Aceto, Gary R. Box, Den nis M. Carey, Kevin W. Donnelly, Lee Feh ling, Charles W. Magee, Brian McAleese, Brian G. McDonnell, Joseph Mistrulli, Frank J. Sadocha, Robert Sliwak, and Paul Talty – at American Legion Post 1273 on Park Avenue in Wantagh. The ceremo ny took place at noon. George DiBitetto, commander of Wantagh’s American Legion, led the ceremony. County Legisla tor Steve Rhoads and State Senator John Brooks, who are members of the Wantagh and Seaford Fire Departments respective ly, also attended in uniform and paid their respects to those who died on Sept. 11. Wantagh American Legionnaires also led a 21-guns salute outside the building.

Rabbi Moshe Weisblum of Congre gation Beth Tikvah in Wantagh had harsh words for whoever committed these acts of hate.

“It is disheartening to hear, some times on a daily basis, about the esca lation in hostile incidents against minorities, especially Jews,” Weis blum said. “We have a pivotal respon sibility, individually and collectively, to denounce antisemitism and demon ization of Jews, and attacks on any group based on race, religion, sexual orientation, or national origin.”

Rev. Wasyl Hrynkiw of St. Vladimir’s Ukrainian Catholic Church in Uniondale described the acts at Forest City Park as “not only anti-Jewish, (but) anti-humani ty,” and called the acts in Cedar Creek Park“Millionsfascism. of people died from that swastika,” Hrynkiw said, referring to the

“Hate and antisemitism has no place in our society and will not be tolerated,” Carini said. “As a retired police officer, I have complete faith in the Nassau County Police Department in their investigation. Albany needs to fix our broken criminal justice system and return judicial discre tion that was stripped by cashless bail.”

The Diocese of Rockville Centre, which oversees many Catholic churches in Wantagh and Seaford, also spoke out against the antisemitic acts.

“The Catholic Church condemns all forms of antisemitism as contrary to the very nature of the Catholic faith,” Sean P. Dolan, the diocese’s director of communi cations, said. “We stand in solidarity with the Jewish community of Long Island and urge all people to work together in rooting out any form of prejudice, hatred, and the insidiousness of antisemitism.”

SEAFORD SUPERINTENDENT ADElE Pecora, discussing federal funding in 2021, said she believes the coronavirus is in the rearview mirror.

During the 2021-22 school year, students donned masks and returned to full in-person instruction, until Gov. Kathy Hochul lifted the mask mandate on March 2, 2022, following the end of the omicron wave.

Both superintendents said they look forward to rela tively normal school years in Wantagh and Seaford. Both have full faith in the school faculty to make up for any lost ground students may have experienced due to remote or masked instruction.

was eventually lifted. Now, as the 2022-23 school year begins, the only mandate that remains is for students to quarantine for five days if they test positive and then wear a mask to school for the next five days.

When the pandemic first hit, Wantagh schools imme diately moved to fully remote instruction to finish out the 2019-20 year.

Back to school in first normal year since ’19

“We did an a.m. and p.m. schedule,” Pecora said. “For students who didn’t opt to go fully remote, you would come in for half the day either in the morning or after noon depending on if it was an A or B day.”

Schools in Seaford followed a similar path, with a few slight changes from Wantagh. Seaford also went fully remote for the remainder of the 2019-20 school year when the pandemic first hit. But unlike Wantagh, Seaford brought students back every day during the 2020-21 school year in the district’s own unique take on the hybrid model, according to Adele Pecora, superintendent of Seaford schools.

“We had to follow the guidance of the experts at the time and share all that information,” McNamara said. “We did a lot of virtual meetings to get the word out and fielded questions as best we could.”

McNamara said he feels everyone has gained resilien cy, patience and a better empathy for one another as a result of all they experienced.

Pecora said, “We’ve stated publicly that we thought Covid was in the rearview mirror. We look forward to students being able to engage in all of the academic and extracurricular offerings of our district. We will contin ue to stay Seaford strong.”

For the past three academic years, educators were fac ing unique challenges to the ever-changing knowledge of how to deal with the coronavirus.

“From when the pandemic first hit, we saw a slow but sure improvement,” McNamara said. “We went from fully remote, to hybrid, to fully back over the course of those three years.”

“There are things that we as a district have latitude with, and then there are things that are required,” Peco ra said. “For the most part, in this community, the par ents, students, staff and administration all wanted the same thing and wanted students to be able to come to school in a comfortable, safe environment.”

years that followed.

Students returned to Wantagh schools during the 2020-21 school year and experienced many changes with how schools were being run. Wantagh ran a hybrid model, where students would turn to virtual instruction on some days and in person learning on other days. When in person, students were told to adhere to strict masking and social distancing policies.

“On a moment’s notice, we went fully virtual,” John McNamara, superintendent of the Wantagh School Dis trict, said. “That’s how we finished out 2020 — fully shut down, no in person teaching.”

Pecora said she was proud of this hybrid protocol, adding “it was an interesting way to keep the students connected to the school and in school every day.”

“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.

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.

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.

Abortion laws uncovered in town codes

Drury, a mother to two young boys, says she refuses to raise her children where access to reproductive health care is restricted.“Nowwith abortion rights under attack, we need to keep New York a safe place for reproductive care and get rid of these draconian laws.”

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

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.

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.”

Officials urge local leaders to remove them

“I was disgusted to know that these abortion restrictions were still on the books,” said Deanna Drury, who lives in Oyster Bay. “Laws cannot exist criminaliz ing reproductive health care.”

“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.

“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.

“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.

Steve Costello, who has led the MacAr thur baseball program since 1994, took over the Lady Generals after previous longtime head coach Jamie San Filippo took an athletic director position in the Carle Place School District. Costello will look to carry forward the momentum left by his predecessor, which included a county title in 2019 and finals appearance during the spring 2021 season.

Costello credited coach Ryan Snyder with being a key catalyst in leading the team early on through the transition. Snyder was a first-year assistant last sea son and has familiarity with much of the team.“He’s really the brains behind the operation as he knows the personnel and he’s been instrumental in getting every thing organized,” said Costello of Snyder. “He’s been tremendously important in getting everything off to a really good start.”Costello inherits a team coming off a 12-6 season that ended with a heartbreak ing 3-2 overtime defeat to Manhasset In the Class A semifinals. The Generals lost top scorer Hailey Hnis to graduation, but returned plenty of offensive firepower from veteran midfielders Kaitlyn Tung and Hailey Metzger. The versaille Tung will also play striker role when needed while Metzger can also be a force up top.

Senior goalie Lexie Thompson anchors the defense after posting eight shutouts last season. She is starting for the third straight season.

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.

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.

“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.”

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.

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

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.

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.”

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

Town Supervisor Don Clavin thanked those who attended on social media.

It was part of Nassau County’s commemoration of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks during a Sunday evening gathering at Eisenhower Park.

thE mEmorial at Eisenhower Park remembering those lost during the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks features salvaged beams from the World Trade Center, a wall filled with names, and a red granite monument that honors first responders who have died from illnesses related to their rescue and recovery efforts on Sept. 11, and beyond.

hEmpstEad towN board members joined Supervisor Don Clavin to pay homage to the 200 town residents who perished in the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, during a sunrise memorial service at Point Lookout Park at Lido Beach.

Nassau County remembers those we lost

Visitors came from all over to remember loved ones who lost their lives 21 years ago. Tears were shed and people embraced as more than 300 names were read aloud so that they will never be forgotten. County Executive Bruce Blakeman also heard a name he recognized — Thomas Jurgens, a New York state court officer, and his nephew.

More than 3,000 lives were lost that day, including 200 from the Town of Hemp stead.Hundreds gathered at Point Lookout Park at Lido Beach last weekend for the town’s 9-11 Sunrise Memo rial service.

Mount Sinai’s operating rooms are fully functional and viable facilities, the spokesman added, but open-heart surgery and other cardiac procedures require larger rooms to accommodate all neces sary 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.

vide open-heart surgery and other cardi ac services — if approved.

“Currently we need a certificate of need from the New York State Depart ment of Health,” Calderone said. “But providing open-heart surgery to our patients is the goal.”

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 construction by placing the last steel beam at the highest point in what’s known as a “topping out” ceremony.Mount Sinai South Nassau upheld this custom with its own topping out ceremo ny last week, celebrating the completion of the four-story J Wing Patient Pavilion at Oceanside’s One Healthy Way. More than 40 people — including board mem bers, construction workers and other staff members — gathered for photos with the final steel beam of the building’s construction.Attendees — clad with white hard hats — signed their names onto the beam, and cheered when it was hooked to a crane and hoisted up to the top of the building, where it was placed securely.

Dr. Adhi Sharma, president Mount Sinai South Nassau, said planning for the J Wing Patient Pavilion began in 2018 after learning neighbors in and around Oceanside were seeking cardiac proce dures over the river in Manhattan.

The steel beam was adorned with an American flag on one end, a small tree on the other, and a large Mount Sinai banner draped in the middle. Damian Becker, Mount Sinai South Nassau’s public rela tions manager, said the tree represents the fact there were no injuries or acci dents on the job site, and traditionally, is supposed to stay in place.

New patient pavilion includes 40 beds for critical care

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

It was a celebration at the new J Wing Patient Pavilion at Mount Sinai South Nassau in Oceanside last week as hospital and construction leaders gathered to celebrate the raising of the final steel beam. The $113 million facility is expected to welcome its first patients in 2024.

The hospital has learned many new techniques to optimize exposure and infection prevention within the hospital following the pandemic, Sharma said. For example, all emergency treatment areas are now built as single 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

In all, FEMA is provid ing $113 million to the project — part of an overall $158 million in funding that also includes the Long Beach Medical Center.“We used some of the FEMA money in the Long Beach Medical Center, and some of it here to strengthen our campus,” Calderone said.

“The challenge for us as board mem bers was to figure out how we’d be rele vant in the new world of health care,” Fennessy said. “We realized we need to be an institution that performs more tertia ry-type work — like open-heart surgery — things that are more complex, to meet the needs of South Shore residents.”

Joseph Fennessy, immediate past chair of Mount Sinai South Nassau’s board of directors, says the medical 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 surgery centers.

The patient pavilion will feature an extended emergency 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 pro

“When we partnered with Mount Sinai in 2018, we shared our goal to grow our cardiac program at this hospital,” Shar ma said. “In supporting that goal, they’ve worked with us toward expanding cardiac services at the hospital including — openheart surgery, expanded structural heart programs and electrophysiology.”

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?

Readers are encouraged to send questions to yourhousedr@aol.com, with “Herald question” in the subject line, or to Herald Homes, 2 Endo Blvd., Garden City, NY 11530, Attn: Monte Leeper, architect.

19 202215,September—HERALD H4 09/15

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.

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.

Making an old home newer

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

loosey-goosey and you don’t want to pro tect your private documents, it’s all good — as long as you don’t hold the highest office in the land.

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

opinions

Will there be more canings in the Senate chamber?

Because the period leading up to the War Between the States has numerous paral lels to what is taking place today.

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.”

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.”

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.

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.

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.

To the Editor:

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.

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.

I found Ilana Greenberg’s op-ed, “Scientists grapple with meaning of life. Why should judges?” (Aug. 18-24) extremely thoughtful and well written. She showed her willingness to research all sides of an issue. 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.

HERALDSEAFORD—202215,September 22 Herald editorial

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Who and what would Trump run against in 2024?

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.

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.

Thoughts comments about our stories?

Framework by Tim Baker

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.

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.

O’Connell asked a great question

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.”

The possibilities are endless, and will enrich her life.

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.

To the ThanksEditor:to

he likelihood that former presi dent Donald Trump will run again in 2024 seems to increase by the day.
