Sadly, these cases mark the last traces of the Justice Department’s vast investigation into the Capitol attack. Worse yet, it’s still possible that any number of the Jan. 6 participants may benefit financially from their involvement. That’s thanks to the $1.776 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” created to compensate Americans who were unfairly targeted by federal law enforcement and prosecutorial actions during prior administrations. Those prosecuted as part of the investigation into the insurrection were clearly intended to be among those in line to benefit from the fund.

Long Island retirees aren’t uniformly downsizing or decelerating. They’re rejecting the outmoded idea that chronological age determines how we should live. In a world of 30-year retirements and second and third acts, a single number can no longer capture a person’s capacity, purpose or potential.

Extracurricular school activities are an important part of the fabric of our communities. For students, participation is about far more than wins and losses or hitting the perfect musical note. These activities offer them opportunities to build confidence, learn discipline, develop teamwork and leadership skills, overcome adversity and form friendships that can last long after graduation.

This past year was our first working together in our respective roles in Glen Cove, and it tested that idea. A great deal was asked of us as a community. We grieved losses together, and said goodbye to members of our school district who gave so much to our schools. We stood beside families through some of the hardest moments a family can face. We also met emergencies and disruptions that no plan fully prepares anyone for.
