Ignorance and, more importantly, insensitivity. It's sad that you thought your post was worth…Read More putting out there so soon after a tragedy. As far as I know, these trips are paid for by the students' themselves (with fundraisers used to help offset the cost). My sister was in the SHS band and went to Hawaii in the mid 90s and I remember my parents saving money in advance to foot the bill. And for the most part, these trips are scheduled during recesses (obviously Sandy affected this, but I'm assuming the trip was non-refundable). So what is your point/concern, and why raise it now? Have you voiced your concern at BoE meetings, or are you a cyber-complainer. I'm guessing the latter.

Children go on these trips because it is an opportunity of a lifetime for many ...and creates…Read More memories....I know it was for my son (class of 2010) who loved being a member of the Seaford HS band and got to visit Hawaii and Florida while a band member...Seaford has a wonderful and talented music department....this was just a terrible, terrible tragedy...my heart breaks for the Tutaj family....I can't imagine what this family is going through....from all I read and heard...the parents raised an amazing son who will be missed....RIP Joseph....

God Bless this family,you are in my prayers.Just as a suggestion if you do not hear of a fundraiser…Read More or benefit you can always give money to the funeral home to help defray costs or hand it to the Mom at services in a card.

Yesterday, Nassau County paid farewell to one of its finest. By all accounts, Highway Patrolman…Read More Joseph Olivieri was a cop's cop who made his family, his friends and his beloved department proud. All to often in today's fast past world we loose sight of the dedicated, tireless and vigilant service preformed by Nassau County's Finest. All to often the inherent dangers of the job surface and there are times when even one of the Finest falls. Let us remember this good mans sacrifice and for his commitment to put the safety and security of others first. Rest in peace Officer Olivieri. May God Bless you and provide comfort to all those suffering by your passing.

Yes this absolutely REEKS of politics and cover up.
Did the driver of the Cadillac escalade give a…Read More blood sample?? Why not?? They killed a police officer after all.
Oh wait, I forgot, there was someone in the vicinity with a BAC of .09
An easy target for political gain. An easy scapegoat to get the connected Cadillac driver off the hook.
Maybe a fundraiser for mr Ryan's defense is in order.
We can't allow witch hunters to prevail. Not in the 21st century.
And a special investigation should be conducted to determine why the Cadillac Escalade is not being held accountable for their actions.

Don't you conspiracy theorists think that a cops kid (Mr.Ryan) would be the one avioiding…Read More prosecution if all these scary theories you say are true???????? Did you miss that in the article?? I do agree--the Escalade should be looked into--but how do you know it wasn't????
Leave the law to the professionals. The lawyers make it entertaining enough. A police officer was killed performing his duties. I can promise you any and every avenue was checked and double checked, especially because of an officers death.

In all honesty (and this is coming from me--a seventeen year-old), it doesn't make sense for people…Read More under the age of 13 to be allowed to use the site. Of course, age restrictions still won't keep people from making Facebooks under different birthdays, but I don't think that Facebook should be open to children under thirteen. Before that age, children are still developing mentally and are (no offense to anyone) typically not mature enough to handle something like social networking. (Don't get me wrong, though; some people who actually do meet the age requirements--whether they're fourteen or forty--still don't act properly on Facebook.)
I mean, if Facebook were to enforce such a policy, then they must must must allow parents to control their accounts. I don't like the idea of letting app developers charge a parent to allow their child to use an app, though.

When I was about to buy my first computer, PCs had flickering letter and numbers. I didn't have a…Read More clue as to how I might work it. But the little Mac had a device to make the icons 'do' things. This I could understand. That was almost 25 years ago. I've been devoted to Mac products since --- iMac, iPad, iPhone. Steve Jobs was an incredible visionary who changed the way we work, the way we think and the way we interact with each other.

Steve Jobs was one of the great visionaries of our time, and he was kept alive this long thanks to…Read More an organ transplant. It should serve as a reminder to fill out our donor cards. Who knows what people can accomplish in those extra years?

Kindness should be in each of our hearts for his service to his country. Tomorrow, i hope everything goes well for geoff's family; He will be truly missed. Everyone could learn a lesson from such a brave man doing his duty. Probably too late to say, but we should look at the true service he provided to us and paid the ultimate price. Out of deep respect for him and Love, I Cannot Express how deep my condolences are.

I'm a retired NYPD Captain and sometimes I had the pleasure of supervising great cops like Geof.…Read More Subsequent to my own induction into the NYPD Honor Legion, I met a lot more great guys - like Geof. I didn't have the opportunity to know Geof, but I knew many like him, i.e. I knew the type. Just couldn't stop serving and helping others via public, uniformed service. God bless his family; he'll be missed! Dukes2352@AOL.com
