Nearby: West Nyack, NYBy Rick Pezzullo For Jason C. Tramm, his love of music began before he learned how to walk. “I was born singing, much to the consternation of my three brothers,” said Tramm, a resident of Valley Cottage. “I first sang as a soloist in my church (at age five), Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in West Nyack. I have felt the deepest connection to music for as long as I can remember. I love to move people’s emotions as only music can!” A graduate of Clarkstown South High School, where his four children also later attended, Tramm has made music a central part of his life as a teacher at Seton Hall University, a professional conductor for more than 25 years and a leader of regional opera and choral organizations. “My love of music came first, and teaching grew naturally out of the desire to share that excitement with others. I see conducting as a form of teaching,” Tramm explained.

Nearby: Chappaqua, NYFormer Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had a two-word farewell for Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colorado) after CNN projected the MAGA firebrand would lose her reelection bid to Democrat Eileen Laubacher in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District. On Tuesday, Clinton posted a screenshot of the CNN headline reading, “GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert will lose reelection to Democrat Eileen Laubacher in Colorado, CNN projects,” with the caption: “Bye, Felicia.” The line comes from the 1995 comedy Friday and has become a popular internet meme for dismissively sending someone off. Many of Clinton’s followers cheered the post, hailing the return of “Spicy Hillary” and calling the jab well-deserved payback. Subscribe To Our Cheat Sheet One week of political news in your inbox!

Farmington Daily Times · Manhattan, NY
Nearby: Manhattan, NYNEW YORK (AP) — A member of New York’s Chinese dissident community who admitted spying for five years on his fellow activists on behalf of the Chinese government avoided prison time at his sentencing Thursday in Manhattan federal court. Yuanjun Tang, 69, an outspoken critic of the Chinese Communist Party for over three decades, was sentenced to three years’ probation by Judge John G. Koeltl. The judge said claims by some individuals who believe they and their families were targeted for harm because of Tang’s actions could not be proven. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jane Chong had asked the judge to impose a five-year prison sentence, the maximum Tang could face after pleading guilty in September 2025 to a charge that he failed to register as an agent of the People’s Republic of China with the U.S. attorney general’s office.

The Hechinger Report · Glen Cove, NY
Nearby: Glen Cove, NYVALLEJO, Calif. — Minutes before first bell, Penny Núñez-Brandão scanned the crowd outside Glen Cove Elementary School, looking for familiar faces. “I don’t see any,” the fifth grader told her mom one morning this August. “None of my friends are coming.” The start of a new school year can be nerve-racking under any circumstances. But for Penny and thousands of students across the U.S., this academic year brought the added difficulty of adjusting to an entirely new school after their previous one shuttered. As U.S. birth rates continue a multi-decade slide and state and federal education funding dries up, an increasing number of cash-strapped school districts around the country have resorted to closing campuses to save money. A total of 1,156 schools closed during the last academic year — the highest number since the pandemic, according to an analysis of federal data by Big Local News at Stanford University.
