North Rockland native Raises Awareness of kidney disease in Rockland County

By Jess Warren

North Rockland native, Nicole Faleri, is working to make her fellow Rocklanders more aware of the hazards of Kidney disease. Herself a Kidney patient, Faleri first got diagnosed with the condition on Easter Sunday, three years ago in 2019. Coincidently, before she experienced symptoms on that day, her sister, Lauren, also complained of not feeling well, suffering from an abrupt bout of dizziness. As Faleri noticed her sister’s condition, it occurred to her to take her own blood pressure as she quickly began to mirror the same complaints. Faleri became concerned as she noticed that the more she took her blood pressure, the higher it rose.

Faleri ended up calling her doctor on call at around 8:00 PM on that same day. Dr. Daniel Cohen was the one to answer right away to help address her concerns and confirm that her blood pressure wasn’t normal. Cohen immediately sent her to a professional, PM Pediatrics in Spring Valley. Shortly after her visit that night, they then urged her to take an ambulance to the Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital right away.

When Faleri arrived at the emergency room, the ER doctor said they were unsure of what was wrong with her, and ordered an ultrasound. Despite the constraints of the pandemic, Dr. Cohen was able to arrange the test and get some answers.

Eager to know what was happening, she spent thirty minutes receiving an ultrasound. Unfortunately, it was at that moment that Faleri discovered she was in stage four chronic kidney failure.

Additionally, she was told that there was a very high chance she wouldn’t make it. Faleri’s mother, Carol Faleri, was by her side the whole time that night along with the art and music therapists. Faleri recollects listening to the song “Rainbow” by Kacey Musgraves, which gave her the hope she needed.

Despite what doctors said to her, that her fight wasn’t over.

Due to years of undiagnosed blood pressure issues, Faleri had developed a heart problem. Thankfully, her diagnosis on Easter Sunday has saved her life. “What I want to raise awareness for the most is that we don’t perform that type of blood test on people when they go for routine blood work,” said Faleri. “You have to advocate for yourself and know what to look for and ask for.” Faleri urges anyone to get their blood tested for kidney disease, even if they do not show symptoms. “ The day after the hospital, Faleri and her mother Carol felt very panicked and did not give up on finding the right doctor. Carol first called Rockland Renal Associates in West Nyack when one of the receptionists, Marilyn Ferrier, picked up.

Marilyn said that she could hear the desperation in Faleri’s mother’s voice, and, right off the bat, knew who she needed to see. “We try to help everybody as they come in, you know? Everybody has a different situation, and I was glad to be here at that time when her mom called in to schedule an appointment. Dr. Kozin is the best, so I scheduled her with Dr. Kozin.” That’s when Faleri met Dr.

Arthur Kozin, whom she credits for helping save her life.

“Dr. Kozin went above and beyond for me,” said Faleri. Kozin told Faleri not to give up her fight.

“I don’t know what they told you in that hospital, but you are not going to die.” said Kozin to Faleri.

“If it weren’t for Daniel Cohen and Arthur Kozin, I wouldn’t be alive,” said Faleri.

Additionally, Faleri commemorates Jennifer Harrington, a teacher from Fieldstone Middle School, Sean McHugh, a North Rockland High School (NRHS) teacher, and Tommy Nelson, a mentor and colleague from NRHS, for supporting her during her hard fight with kidney disease. Faleri’s passion for teaching is one of her positive outlets in life. She also credits her students for being supportive, even though they might not know what happens behind closed doors. “They’re such supportive, kind-hearted, generous people and I’ve been blessed with the best students. It’s as if they’ve all been placed in my class,” said Faleri.

Faleri hopes to bring awareness to kidney disease in a way where others see her as herself and not the disease itself. Faleri praises the Rockland community for staying so unified, especially during rough times for residents. “We cry for help, and the community answers – that’s what I think is great about where we live, and that’s why I never want to leave North Rockland. There is no place like home, and home for me is NR,” said Faleri.

“When the day comes, and I’m told that I will need a kidney, I know that my community will help me get that kidney. There’s nobody like where we live, and people need to open their eyes and be more grateful for that.” Faleri expressed.

Ramapo Valley Ambulance Corps files lawsuit against Town of Ramapo

By Joe Kuhn and Jess Warren

The Ramapo Valley Ambulance Corps (RVAC) has filed a lawsuit against the town of Ramapo accusing its government of sabotaging the volunteer service, which has been in operation for over 75 years. In court documents shared on their Facebook page, the leaders of the organization allege that Ramapo’s government has taken measures to “intentionally block (their) efforts to operate within the town” and run the corps “ out of business.” The plaintiffs, Ronald and Susan Spiegel, William Ciancaruso, Peter and Susan Milo, and Adolph and Elizabeth Rivera, contend that the town has taken steps to dismantle their organization and have accused Ramapo’s leadership of launching unnecessary investigations into the corps operations, “stonewalling” the organizations suggestions and seeking to replace the volunteer organization with a for-profit outlet.

The RVAC was originally formed in 1947, and became an official partner to the town almost 40 years later. On April 27, 1983, the Ramapo Town Board adopted an order establishing Ramapo Ambulance District One (the “Ambulance District”) to provide emergency and related ambulance services to the residents within the Ambulance District’s borders, including the area serviced by Ramapo Valley since its inception. The Town Board was authorized to outsource EMS care provided in the district to one or more qualified organizations: the Town subsequently contracted with multiple third parties, including RVAC. On June 17, 1983, the Town entered into a Publicly Funded Contract with RVAC to provide emergency medical and related ambulance services to all residents located within the boundaries of District One. The town then updated and amended their publicly funded contact with RVAC on or about January 1, 2001. Since 1983, the Town has operated the Ambulance District as a special administrative area and not as its own separate municipal corporation.

DOMINICAN COLLEGE IS NOW DOMINICAN UNIVERSITY NEW YORK

Dominican College has been elevated to the status of a university, becoming the first university in Rockland County. Dominican College President Sr. Mary Eileen O’Brien, O.P., Ph.D., announced today that New York State Board of Regents has granted Dominican College university status and approved the name change to Dominican University New York.

“This is an important milestone in our history as we prepare to celebrate our 70th anniversary,” said Sr. Mary Eileen. “Changing our name to Dominican University New York brings formal recognition to the caliber of our academic programs. With our new name comes additional prestige and more opportunities for the school and our students.”

Dominican offers a range of undergraduate programs and graduate programs in nursing, business, occupational therapy, education, and organizational leadership and communication. In addition, it has the distinction of being the only institution in Rockland County to offer doctoral degrees – including Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). Dominican has a strong academic reputation for its liberal arts, business, education, and health-related programs. Recently, Dominican added programs in finance, information technology, health sciences, and marketing. Dominican also caters to adult learners through programs in the evenings, on weekends, or online.

The news of the university status follows earlier announcements that Dominican had secured two federal grants, one from the U.S. Department of Education (ED) and the other from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Dominican was one of only 10 higher education institutions nationwide and the only one in New York State to receive the HHS grant and will use the funding to launch a new Public Health Informatics and Technology (PHIT) program this fall.

“The news about our university status coupled with the infusion of the federal funds will certainly raise the profile of our school,” said Sr. Mary Eileen. “Dominican University New York has a bright future that will serve more students from around the region and beyond.”

Dominican was granted university status by the New York State Board of Regents based on the fact that Dominican offers graduate programs in at least three of the following discipline areas: agriculture,

biological sciences, business, education, engineering, fine arts, health professions, humanities, physical sciences, and social sciences.

Founded in 1952 by the Dominican Sisters of Blauvelt, the College began as a two-year college for religious women to become educators. Over the years, the campus expanded to accommodate a growing enrollment and to welcome resident students. A number of new buildings were constructed including an athletics facility, residence halls, a dining hall, and a new academic building for health and science education. The most recent construction was the expansion of the Hennessy Center with a new gymnasium and fitness center. A new turf field is anticipated for 2023.

Dominican has a total of 17 NCAA Division II sports teams, as well as a competitive rowing club and a new esports team.

Dominican has been named both a College of Distinction and a Catholic College of Distinction. On the U.S. News & World Report 2022 Best Colleges List, Dominican was ranked #21 out of Regional Universities North for social mobility. It is also designated a Hispanic Serving Institution and was recognized as Military Friendly.

Dominican University New York moves forward with a renewed spirit and dedication to its mission to promote educational excellence, leadership, and service in an environment characterized by respect for the individual and concern for the community and its needs.

Under the terms of the Publicly Funded Contract, RVAC agreed that it would supply all the necessary equipment and required personnel in accordance with the requirements of the New York State Department of Health. While RVAC maintains that they have performed their duties under the contract, they have accused the town of not acting diligently and transparently with them.

RVAC alleges that they have been made to meet arbitrary requirements not imposed on other third party contractors that cooperate with the village. Specifically, the RVAC has stated that since 2020, they have been required to have paid crews on standby 24/7 and that those crews “check in” with town police at the beginning of every shift to verify that they are present. If those calls were not placed, alleges the RVAC, town police were instructed not to contact them. The RVAC has stated that this “unnecessary” process has slowed their response time and prevented them from responding to emergencies within their jurisdiction. Additionally, the complaint states that the town had rerouted its emergency response network so that Ramapo Police, not the county’s 911 service, was the first to receive distress calls made in Ramapo. The RVAC believes that this method has enabled Ramapo Police to pick and choose which emergency services are dispatched, and “freeze out” ambulance corps which they did not wish to support. Finally, the RVAC has alleged that Ramapo has refused to fund capital improvements to their facilities, and has also accused Ramapo of improperly billing the Corps for its use of town resources. The Rockland County Times reached out to the Town of Ramapo for comment on the lawsuit, but did not hear back by press time. Our coverage of the copmlaint is ongoing.

Senator Skoufis and Assemblymember Paulin Rally for Anti Cyberflashing Legislation

By Joe Kuhn

Senator James Skoufis (D-Hudson Valley) and Assembly member Amy Paulin (D-Westchester) are calling on their fellow legislators to crack down on digital sex offenders. Gathered with representatives from Bumble, the National Organization for Women (NOW), the National Women’s Political Caucus, and other advocate at the Capitol on Monday, Skoufis and Paulin urged state lawmakers to advance their “long-overdue” cyberflashing legislation (S.6420A / A.318B). This legislation would establish the offense of unsolicited disclosure of an intimate image as a criminal violation.

A 2022 survey by Bumble, a “women-first dating and social networking app”, found that nearly half of all respondents (46%) have received unsolicited, obscene images in their lifetime, and almost 1 in 3 (29%) had received them within the past month. These images are frequently conveyed anonymously between mobile phones via text or digital file sharing services, and often in public settings–violating the recipient’s personal space and undermining their sense of safety.

For recipients who have a history of sexual trauma, such a violation can trigger intense emotional distress.

“State law simply hasn’t kept up with new digital forms of harassment and exposure, and we must do better,” said Senator Skoufis. “I am proud to be working with Assemblymember Paulin and the advocates gathered today to make cyberflashing a crime once and for all. This kind of invasive and abhorrent be-

havior will not be tolerated in New York, and I urge my colleagues to bring this key piece of legislation to a vote before session’s end.”

“Cyberflashing is a relentless, everyday form of harassment that causes victims, predominantly women, to feel distressed, violated, and vulnerable in their daily lives,” said Assemblymember Amy Paulin.

“Particularly concerning is the very intrusive way that these nonconsensual sexual images are sent. In many ways, cyberflashing is worse than being flashed in the street - with the offender unknown, and no one seeing what’s happening, it’s like an invasion into the very personal space of your phone which is impossible to ignore or forget. Cyberflashing is illegal offline and should also be illegal online.

“This legislation is a vital step forward to help women feel safer – online and off,” added Christian Nunes, President of the National Organization for Women. “As our digital and physical lives continue to intertwine, we must ensure we have similar standards of conduct and protection. The National Organization for Women is proud to join Bumble, Assemblywoman Amy Paulin, Senator James Skoufis, and the National Women’s Political Caucus to support this landmark legislation. We hope New York will be a model for reform across the country to finally eradicate cyberflashing.”

THE COUNTY

EXECUTIVE’S CORNER

“Biting Back Against Mosquitoes”

By County Executive Ed Day Mosquitoes are more than just a nuisance, they also spread dangerous diseases which is why, to help County residents reduce the number of mosquitoes on their property, my administration combats these pests by treating catch basins and storm drains. The treatment program prevents these insects from breeding in the standing water of these structures.

While not all mosquitoes carry diseases, several can spread potentially deadly diseases like West Nile and Eastern Equine Encephalitis to people, underlining the importance of our efforts under this program.

The program uses tabs of Altosid, a growth regulator, that are dropped into storm drains and stop mosquitoes from becoming breeding, biting adults.

Mosquitoes lay eggs in standing water which hatch in larvae and develop in the water for 7 to 10 days before emerging as adult mosquitoes. Rockland has more than 50,000 drains, and the county will treat about half of them for mosquitoes.

We ask Rockland families to be patient if they come across Health Department staff driving slowly along the roadways conducting these treatments and avoid parking over storm drains.

Families can be proactive in fighting these pests by eliminating any standing water you may have on your property. Regularly check your yard and property for any items that can hold stagnant water such as dog bowls and birdbaths and replace them with fresh water daily.

There are also free mosquito dunks, or donut-shaped objects, that the County distributes to residents for unused swimming pools. These dunks release bacteria that kill mosquitoes before they become flying, biting adults.

Program staff also conduct routine and complaint-based inspections at many commercial properties that are considered “high risk” for mosquito breeding, including tire-storage facilities, landscape yards, municipal storage yards, outdoor swimming pool facilities, horse farms, marinas, and garden centers, as well as respond to complaints against private residential properties.

Together through these combined efforts, we can all help control the mosquito population and protect ourselves and the community from vector-borne diseases.

Our Health Department will stop at nothing to ensure we are protected against all healththreats.

For more information and resources available to families to combat mosquitoes call the Health Department at 845-364-3173 or visit: http://bit.ly/RCDOH_mosquito.

Promoefect Brings Custom Printing To Rockland

Stiefel is new to Rockland County. Three years ago, the investor, who was previously based in California and working at a high-tech startup, was looking for a change of pace and came to the county ready to try something different. That willingness to reshuffle his life paid off when in 2021, Stiefel happened upon a chance to buy two Rockland businesses and transform them into something new. After purchasing and consolidating Royal Tee’s Screen Printing of Suffern, and Artwill Group Embroidery in Congers, Stiefel along with Eric Bonkoski the founder of the Turtles Fitness clothing brand founded Promofect, a promotional products company that offers quality customized apparel and promotional products services tailored to, corporations, educational institutions, police and fire departments, and nonprofits in between.

Promofect is a one stop shop for any organization looking for custom apparel and promotional products. Whether it’s for a local sports team game or a large event, Promofect has the capabilities to handle all your screen printing and embroidery and physical branding needs. Promofect does all their apparel decoration in-house just behind their showroom on Lafayette Ave in Suffern, NY. Their staff also consists of a professional design team to help create logos and professional artwork on behalf of their clients. Promofect has also been a destination for anyone needing RUSH T-Shirts or baseball caps, but their capabilities go far beyond that to hosting company and school webstores and creating entire on-boarding kits filled with branded merchandise like custom jackets, t-shirts, electronics, tumblers, or umbrellas in a beautifully branded box. No matter what their needs, customers can expect quality products, unique ideas, and a partner dedicated to helping them execute their vision in a perfect manner. “We are totally client focused” said Isabella Rieder, who recently joined the team as a product service specialist after graduating with a fine arts degree from SUNY Oneonta.

Promofect also carries a wide variety of eco friendly apparel and pro-

motional items and offers water-based screen printing. Unlike plastisol printing, which literally adds a thick layer of liquid plastic on top of the cloth being dyed, water-based ink is absorbed directly into the material leaving the fabric light and airy. Promofect’s preferred method leaves the clothes they brand extra comfortable and flexible, and, by virtue of using far less plastic, more Eco friendly then other methods.

Since its inception Promofect has been heavily invested in working with nonprofits on special fundraiser campaigns. Last April they worked with the Vincent Crotty Foundation on a T-Shirt fundraiser that raised over $100,000 for the family of Fallen Spring Valley Firefighter Jared Lloyd. Their ability to handle the webstore and on-demand fulfillment makes them a great destination for any organization looking to raise funds for a special cause.

ENJOY YOUR BIKE RIDE WITH SAFETY IN MIND May is National Bike Month

Rockland County Executive Ed Day and County Health Commissioner Dr. Patricia Schnabel Ruppert remind residents to follow safety guidelines when out bike riding. One of the most important things you can do to stay safe when riding your bicycle is to wear a helmet that fits right every time you ride, as this is the single most effective way to prevent head injury resulting from a bicycle crash. In Rockland County, all cyclists, no matter what their age, must wear a bike helmet.

“There are many great reasons to ride your bike: It offers fun, freedom, and exercise, and it is good for the environment. Springtime means more cyclists on the roads, which can result in more injuries. To avoid crashes, be focused and alert to the road and all traffic around you; anticipate what others may do before they do it,” said Dr. Ruppert.

Bike riders must follow the same rules of the road as motorists. Here are some additional safety basics that you should know when you are out bike riding: -Ride single file in the direction of traffic.

-Use hand signals when turning and use extra care at intersections.

-Before entering traffic, stop and look left, right, left again and over your shoulder.

-Wear bright clothing and ride during the day.

-If night riding can’t be avoided, wear reflective clothing.

-Make sure your bike has reflectors on the bike frame in the front and back, pedals and spokes, as well as a horn or bell. A rear-view mirror and a bright headlight are also recommended.

-Do not wear earbuds when cycling. If you must stay connected, wear only one in your right ear.

-No child under age one is permitted as a passenger on a bicycle.

-If you haven’t taken your bike out in a while, chances are it will need a slight tuneup. Here are some areas that should be checked before you get back on your bike: -Check your tires to see if they need air.

-Spin the wheels to make sure the tires are not worn.

-Check your brakes. Test them to make sure they can stop on dry pavement.

-Make sure your bike frame is secure, and chains should not be rusted or black with grime.

-Make sure your seat is secure.

-Take your bike for a short trial ride in a parking lot or safe area to be sure the bike is in working order.

According to the League of American Bicyclists, 40% of all trips in the U.S. are less than two miles, making bicycling a feasible and fun way to get around.

“Our roads are shared by bicyclists, pedestrians, and vehicles, and if we fail to achieve a peaceful coexistence on our roads it will result in tragedy. It is our responsibility to be respectful of each other on the roadways to keep everyone safe,” said County Executive Day. The Rockland County Department of Health is working with the Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee to educate the community on traffic, bicycle, and pedestrian safety measures to keep you and your family safe. For more information, visit http://bit.ly/2blhwdg or call the Health Department at (845) 364-3755.

California Church Shooting Was ‘Hate Incident,’ Sheriff Says David Wenwei Chou, 68, of Las Vegas, is the suspect in a shooting that killed one person and injured five at a Taiwanese church in Laguna Woods on May 15.

Chou left notes in Chinese in his car stating he did not believe Taiwan should be independent from China, said Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes.

The man who opened fire on a Taiwanese congregation in Laguna Woods, Calif., killing one and injuring five, was motivated by political hatred, the Orange County Sheriff said.

Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer referred to David Chou, 68, as a monster whose rampage was thwarted by the heroic actions of a doctor who charged at him, a pastor who hit Chou with a chair and several parishioners who tied him up until police arrived.

After the luncheon for the former pastor, attended by about 140 people, some parishioners witnessed Chou locking the doors with iron chains and assumed he was a security guard, according to the account.

One church member saw Chou nail two exit doors shut using a hammer and nails.

Chang ran down the stage, grabbed a chair and threw it at the shooter. When the gunman fell and dropped the weapon, Chang and other congregants subdued him until police arrived. Chang’s wife, Yu Ling threw the gun in the fridge and tied up the shooter’s legs with an orange electrical cord.

Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer said Tuesday that his office is charging Chou with 10 different counts, including first-degree murder with enhancements of lying in wait and for personal use of a firearm; five counts of attempted murder with premeditation and deliberation; and four counts of possession of four destructive devices with the intent to kill or to harm.

What we know about the Buffalo mass shooter A gunman who killed 10 people at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, planned further attacks after the mass shooting on Saturday, police have said.

Police said 18-year-old Payton Gendron drove more than 200 miles from his home in Conklin, New York, to kill as many Black people as he could. According to police, he was dressed in military-style camouflage and protective gear and was armed with a semi-automatic rifle. Investigators also said he planned to continue his attack at other places if he was not stopped at the supermarket.

Among the victims, who range in age from 20 to 86, were people grocery shopping, a heroic former police officer who tried to stop the gunman, a long-term substitute teacher and a taxi driver who “took pride in helping people.”

President Biden had a clear message to the nation in regards to the mass shooting at a Tops in Buffalo on Saturday where 10 Black people were killed.

“What happened here is simple and straightforward, terrorism, terrorism, domestic terrorism,” Biden said.

The US Department of Justice is investigating the shooting “as a hate crime and an act of racially motivated violent extremism,” according to Attorney General Merrick Garland.

“Where were the red flags for him to be able to purchase these guns legally?” Erie County, New York, Sheriff John Garcia said.

“But in a case like this the gun dealer was able to sell these weapons to this individual because there was no red flags that came up.”

Payton Gendron, in the lengthy document posted online, wrote that he bought the AR-15 style gun from a gun store in New York. Gendron had been taken to an emergency room for a mental health evaluation after an incident in high school where he mentioned “murder-suicide,” but was released without being involuntarily committed, according to law enforcement officials.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said the gun used was purchased legally in New York State.

Gendron’s attorney declined to comment. Gendron is due in court Thursday morning.

North Korea Signals SOS In a rare admission of vulnerability, the government of the notorious hermit kingdom has reported a startling number of COVID-19 cases as a rapidly growing outbreak threatens the entire nation.

On Wednesday, North Korea reported 232,880 new cases of fever and another six deaths as leader Kim Jong Un accused officials of “immaturity” and “slackness” in handling the escalating COVID-19 outbreak. The country’s anti-virus headquarters has stated that 62 people have died and more than 1.7 million have fallen ill amid a rapid spread of fever since late April. It further reported that 691,170 citizens are currently under quarantine. Mr Kim has shifted the responsibility, and the blame, for the current outbreak on officials within North Korea’s military, who have been tasked with containing the outbreak. Pyongyang’s Korea Central News agency said he had issued an order for “immediately stabilizing the supply of medicines in Pyongyang City by involving the powerful forces of the military medical field of the People’s Army.”

A failure to control the outbreak could have dire consequences in North Korea, considering its rejection of internationally offered vaccines that has left a population of 26 million un-immunized. International policy experts are hopeful that Kim’s admission of weakness might signal his willingness to cooperate with foreign powers to avert what could spiral into a humanitarian catastrophe.

Mariupol Surrenders to Russian Aggressors After almost three months of intense bombardment, it appears that the battle for the city of Mariupol is reaching it’s conclusion.

Ukraine’s military announced late Monday that its forces had completed their “combat mission” at the sprawling Azovstal steelworks plant, which was for weeks the last major holdout in a city otherwise occupied by Russian troops. Hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers were evacuated from the facility and efforts were underway to evacuate those still inside.

More than 250 Ukrainian fighters surrendered to Russian forces at the Azovstal steelworks in Mariupol after weeks of desperate resistance, bringing an end to the siege. The fall of Mariupool will now grant Moscow total control of the Azov Sea coast and an unbroken stretch of eastern and southern Ukraine, even as its troops retreat from the outskirts of Kharkiv in the northeast.

Despite this victory, Western and Ukrainian analysts remain skeptical of Russia’s ability to expand their occupation. Even as the Kremlin prepares to take full control of the ruins of Mariupol, it faces the growing prospect of defeat in its bid to conquer all of Ukraine’s eastern Donbas, as Western analysts speculate that Russia lacks the manpower to make any significant advances into the Ukraine.

Mariupol, a port city on the Sea of Azov, has been the scene of some of the most intense fighting since Russia launched its invasion in February. It was there that Russia carried out some of it’s most horrific atrocities of the campaign, including a missile strike that destroyed a maternity ward. Ukrainian and U.N. officials are wary that the fall and subsequent occupation of the city will allow the Kremlin to permanently obscure the full extent of the damage they have wrought.

Before the Kremlin took control of Mariupol, the city council accused Russian forces of trying to erase evidence, using mobile crematoria to dispose of bodies and identifying witnesses to any “atrocities” through filtration camps, according to CNN, who could not verify that claim.

Officials from both sides said on Tuesday that peace talks aimed at ending the war had stagnated. Negotiators last convened in-person in late March, and there has been little communication between them in recent weeks. Elsewhere, Ukrainian forces have been advancing at their fastest pace for more than a month, driving Russian forces out of the area around Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second largest city. Ukraine says its forces had reached the Russian border, 40 km (25 miles) north of Kharkiv. They have also pushed at least as far as the Siverskiy Donets river 40 km to the east, where they could threaten supply lines to Russia’s main advance in the Donbas.

How to Challenge Your Property Assessment So it’s that time of year to review the assessment of your property. Every year, under New York State Real Property Tax law, property owners have the ability to question their assessment for free. Many people do not realize that this is something that you can do on your own and will hire companies to do it for them. These companies take advantage of the law and make a living as they are paid fees often equal to a percentage of whatever the adjustment may be for the property.

The process is called “Grievance Day” and it is always the fourth Tuesday in May. This year it is May 24th.

It is free to engage in this process. Here is how it works: all you have to do is invest the time necessary to examine if you have a case. It does require the property owner to do some homework, but it could potentially save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars.

Look at your tax bill and find your ‘Assessed Value’; once you find it do the following: Divide that by the 2022 Residential Assessment Ratio which is 0.2705. The answer to this simple calculation tells you what the assessor’s full value is for the property. If you feel that is too high based on the current real estate market, then you should file a Grievance with supporting comparable sales easily found on Zillow and other real estate sites. You can also submit a recent appraisal or a competitive market analysis from a broker, which proves a lower value.

So if you want to make a case, simply fill out the Grievance form, the RP-524 form, which can be found online on the Clarkstown Town Assessor’s web page (clarkstown.gov/assessor). For assistance, please call the Assessor’s office at (845) 639-2031.

After filing the form out at the Office of the Assessor, ask for an appointment time on May 24th to be heard by the Board of Assessment Review. This is an informal hearing where you can show your evidence and state why a lower assessment is warranted. The Board of Assessment Review is an independent body of local residents who are appointed by the Supervisor and Town Board, and are very familiar with the current Real Estate Market. They have been trained to hear the facts of each case and how to determine if the request is warranted or not. A number of these folks are real estate professionals or those who understand the real estate market. If an adjustment is warranted the board of assessment review will make a change and the person’s taxes will be lowered. Additionally, there is no risk of your taxes being raised as the review does not work that way, it can only lower your assessment which in turn will lower your taxes. All property owners have the right to this administrative review of their assessment under the New York State Constitution, Article 16.

While this is not the sexiest topic, as Supervisor I felt compelled to ask our Assessor for the information to offer to our residents so you can make the decision to review your own assessment. If you do the homework, you might find that an adjustment is warranted and it could save you money. The only caveat is that housing values have risen dramatically, so making a case may be harder.

However, it is possible that even despite the record increase in property values, you might have an assessment that is high. If you do and follow the steps on May 24 th , you can make a case and seek a reduction that will save you money this year and every year going forward.

NYS Division of Human Rights Files Complaint Against Amazon

By Joe Kuhn

It appears that the empire state may soon be embroiled in a legal battle against one of the largest corporations on the planet. On Wednesday the New York State Division of Human Rights announced that they have filed a complaint against Amazon, Inc. alleging the company engages in discrimination against pregnant workers and workers with disabilities by denying them reasonable accommodations. The Division further alleges that Amazon has policies that force pregnant workers and workers with disabilities to take an unpaid leave of absence rather than allowing them to work with a reasonable accommodation.

“My administration will hold any employer accountable, regardless of how big or small, if they do not treat their workers with the dignity and respect they deserve,” said Governor Hochul, when annoucing the formal complaint “New York has the strongest worker protections in the nation and was one of the first to have protections for workers who are pregnant and those with disabilities.”

The New York State Human Rights Law requires that all employers, upon request, reasonably accommodate workers with disabilities or pregnancy-related conditions. This can include modification of job duties that allow an employee to perform the essential functions of their jobs.

Amazon, which operates 23 worksites with over 39,000 workers across New York State, employs in-house “Accommodation Consultants” to evaluate such requests and recommend appropriate action. The Division has accused Amazon’s policy of allowing worksite managers to override the recommendations made by the Accommodations Consultant have caused Amazon employees to be denied reasonable accommodations for their disabilities and pregnancy-related conditions.

The Division further alleges that under Amazon’s accommodation policy, employees with disabilities are forced to take unpaid medical leave even in situations where the Accommodation Consultant has identified a reasonable accommodation that would allow the employee to perform the essential functions of their position without an undue burden. The policy or practice of forcing employees to take an unpaid medical leave of absence diminishes the terms and conditions of employment for employees with disabilities and is against the Human Rights Law. “Since the 1970s - years before the Americans with Disabilities Act New York State has prohibited discrimination against pregnant employees in the workplace. The Division will work to ensure that everyone in our state is fully afforded the rights and dignities that the law requires,” said Division of Human Rights Deputy Commissioner for Enforcement Melissa Franco.

In its complaint, the Division alleges a pregnant worker requested and was approved to receive a reasonable accommodation to avoid lifting packages over 25 pounds. However, the worksite manager refused to follow the accommodation - forcing the worker to continue lifting heavy packages. Despite internal complaints about the lack of accommodation, Amazon took no action to ensure the needed change was carried out and the pregnant worker suffered an injury while lifting heavy packages. Subsequently, the worker required further accommodations as a result of the injury. Amazon denied the request and forced the pregnant worker into indefinite unpaid leave.

The Division alleges that another Amazon worker was improperly denied when they requested a modified work schedule due to a documented disability. The worker’s condition necessitated a specific sleep schedule and the worker submitted supporting medical documentation with the request. Prior to the request, the worker had been swapping shifts with a coworker to accommodate this condition without objections from management. Amazon’s Accommodations Consultant recommended that the worker be given the requested modified work schedule. However, the worksite manager refused to implement the accommodation without offering any explanation. The Accommodations Consultant did not challenge the manager’s refusal. Rather, the Accommodations Consultant reversed their recommendation and denied the request citing a lack of a qualifying condition - despite the medical documentation they had previously received.

The Division’s complaint seeks a decision requiring Amazon to cease its discriminatory conduct, adopt non-discriminatory policies and practices regarding the review of requests for reasonable accommodations, train its employees on the provisions of the Human Rights Law, and pay civil fines and penalties to the State of New York.

Comeback Kids Onto House $ Conference Semi-Final

By John Jastremski Postseason Series fascinate me on so many different levels as a sports fan.

After all, the loser sees their season come to an end, but it’s much more than that.

It’s the heightened drama, suspense and all of the twists and turns that accompany intense games between two of the same teams over a week to two week span.

New York Rangers fans experienced the rollercoaster of emotions that a playoff series can provide over the last two weeks.

A week ago, the Rangers season was on life support.

After a feel good regular season, the first four games of their 1st round series against the Pittsburgh Penguins was nothing short of a nightmare.

The Rangers lost both games 3 and 4 in Pittsburgh and to make matters worse, star goaltender Igor Shesterkin was pulled in each game.

The onslaught of Penguins goals in Game 4 didn’t exactly inspire confidence that a comeback was possible.

Something changed in the Rangers

returning home for Game 5.

Rangers Head Coach Gerard Gallant called the team soft following the Game 4 loss. Personally, I thought it was a desperate ploy by a coach of a dead team trying to wake his team up.

Guess what, it worked.

The Rangers sense of intensity and determination was all over the ice in the final three games of the series.

They were down 2 goals in Game 5 and came back to win.

Game 6, they returned to Pittsburgh, the scene of the Game 3 and 4 horror show and proceeded to overcome yet another 2 goal deficit.

In Game 7, the Rangers trailed late in the third period, but Mika Zibanejad’s clutch game tying goal set the stage for Artemi Panarin’s series clinching goal in overtime.

The Rangers star players were quiet

for the first four games of the series.

However, in their final three wins they were instrumental to their success.

Zibanejad and Panarin struggled for the first five games of the series, but responded in a big way. The same could be set for netminder Igor Shesterkin.

Shesterkin found his comfort zone and got back to the winning style of play that was on display throughout the regular season.

The Rangers won a series that in many ways validates their feel good regular season.

Up next for the Comeback Kids, the Carolina Hurricanes. A team that knocked the Blueshirts out of the 2020 COVID Bubble Tournament and dominated the head to head regular season matchups.

Unlike the last series against Pittsburgh, the Rangers are underdogs heading in.

Let’s see what other twists and turns await the Comeback Kid Rangers in the roller coaster ride that is the Stanley Cup Playoffs...

Local Veteran Small Business Owner Receives $10,000 Back2Business Grant from Fiserv Grant presented at Opening Day at Clover Stadium as part of Fiserv Back2Business program

Nordstrom Contracting, a certified Service Disabled Veteran-Owned small business in Pomona, New York, was presented with a $10,000 Back2Business grant from Fiserv on Opening Day at Clover Stadium, home of the New York Boulders.

Michael Nordstrom, Vice President and Partner of Nordstrom Contracting, a small business that provides a wide variety of design, construction, and renovation work for federal agencies and private entities, accepted the grant from Frank Bisignano, President and Chief Executive Officer of Fiserv, just before first pitch on Thursday, May 12.

“We are grateful and excited to be the recipient of a Fiserv Back2Business grant,” said Nordstrom, who was joined at Clover Stadium by approximately 25 friends and family. “Like many other small businesses, the COVID-19 pandemic has taken a toll on us, and this $10,000

grant will help us start a marketing campaign to attract more clients beyond the ‘word of mouth’ marketing we’ve always relied on.”

The grant is part of the Fiserv Back2Business program - a $50 million commitment to help small diverse businesses through grants, small business consultation, Clover technology, and networking opportunities. Fiserv is a leading global provider of payments and financial services technology, including Clover from Fiserv, a complete point-of-sale and business management system enabling businesses to maximize their operating efficiencies and grow, while providing customers flexible ways to pay.

In January 2022, the New York Boulders entered a multi-year naming rights partnership with Fiserv to rename the Boulders home venue Clover Stadium. Clover is used by more than 1,500 small businesses in northeast New Jersey and the Lower Hudson Valley.

Cupon’s Column Last week we discussed the fact that slum landlords are purchasing 1 and 2-family homes and modifying them illegally to create additional apartments, rooming houses, dormitories, etc. Readers should be advised that this is happening in all areas of Rockland county.

The slumlords do not obtain building permits, they use unlicensed contractors and their work is not inspected. These illegal conversions are frequently of shoddy construction which allows people to live in inhabitable spaces. We would like to advise that there are thousands of these buildings in our county.

Fire is a dynamic and dangerous force even in a well-built and code-compliant building. When a fire occurs in an illegally converted building it creates life-threatening nightmarish conditions for trapped residents and our brave firefighters who must rush into these dangerous buildings having no idea that they were illegally converted.

The local media in Rockland County constantly reports on fire after fire where the fire building was found to be occupied illegally.

Why have local and state governments not addressed this serious and expanding problem? Why is it allowed to exist and spread into new communities?

A scenario that is repeated over and over, unfolds like this: a house on a residential street is sold to an LLC. These limited liability corporations are formed by unscrupulous individuals for a variety of reasons. The neighbors have no idea who the buyer is. Soon after, they will observe numerous contractors working in the building.

These are warning signs that if quickly acted upon might stop the destruction of a neighborhood. Residents should look for a building permit cardboard placard with a large orange circle. This placard should be visible from the street. If there is no placard observed immediately, call your local building department. The building dept. should issue an immediate “stop-work order” and place the building in violation. All the contractors must be licensed. Residents can frequently determine if they are licensed by looking at the rear of the contractor vehicles - there should be green bumper-type stickers displayed. These stickers are issued by the Rockland County Office of Consumer Protection, indicating the company is a licensed home improvement contractor and their work meets stringent guidelines.

Consumer Protection can issue appearance tickets and has other powerful tools that they can use against unlicensed contractors.

If residents stand idly by and do not report these illegal activities, there is a pattern that tends to play out; after the illegal construction, neighbors will frequently notice the unusually large number of adults and sometimes children residing in the former one or two dwellings. They will then frequently observe numerous vehicles filling up the driveway every night with more parked on the front lawn and the street. On garbage pickup day they will observe multiple garbage cans frequently overflowing. The property then becomes an eyesore as trash accumulates, the grass is not cut and gardens are not maintained.

This is the beginning of the destruction of a street and an entire neighborhood.

If the building dept doesn’t act on these complaints that means they accept this behavior in their area of authority. Soon, other homes will be purchased and this scenario repeats itself. After repeated complaints from residents that are not acted upon, more residents will sell their homes and move. This starts a vicious turnaround in this neighborhood where the town and villages refuse to enforce the codes, and that encourages the slumlords to purchase more properties in that neighborhood.

CUPON and the Illegal Housing Taskforce have filed complaints repeatedly over the years to the NYS Division of Building Standards and Codes against the Town of Ramapo and eight of its villages. We gave specific examples of buildings where the municipalities have refused to enforce the building and fire codes – the state officials inspected and agreed but took little effective action. After many complaints and prodding from some state legislators, the state did eventually assign monitors to Ramapo and Spring valley but none of the other villages. The monitoring system was a dismal failure.

After the tragic Evergreen fire, the state ordered the County to take over code enforcement in Spring valley. The new County Building department does appear to be making some progress as they discover what years of inadequate enforcement have created.

Why is the state not taking similar action in the other jurisdictions?

There is a virtual army of public officials employed by local, County, state, and federal governments that have the power to stop the widespread abuse of the various codes and regulations that are designed to protect our residents and first responders. All of these officials are funded by our tax dollars. Why are they not doing their jobs, and why are they allowed to get away with it?

The property owners that own legal buildings, pay their taxes and maintain their buildings are actually subsidizing the slum lords who are making large amounts of money from their cash-only rentals.

Next week we will discuss how all New York State taxpayers subsidize this growing problem.

Any thoughts on how dangerous housing in Rockland County affects everyone by raising taxes and poses risks for residents and first responders? Please join us to hear more on these and other subjects in an extended hour and a half program. Tune to the WRCR channel am 1700 on your radio and call 845-429-1700 on your phone.

Tribute to my Grandma Clara From Scott Waters

This week, the world lost an extraordinary woman - my grandma Clara.

She was my best friend, biggest supporter, and one of the most important people in my life. To say I loved my grandma, would not be doing my feelings towards her enough justice. If you know me well, you have heard me talk about her or use the line “as my grandma would say…”

While I was not blessed with a dad, I was with an amazing mom and an incredible grandma. From staying with her while my mom worked as a kid, to our picnics in bed, trips to FAO Schwartz, going to her apartment in the Bronx after a Dave Matthews Band concert and her making pasta at 1 am for all my friends, to living with her after a surgery, giving her my business card when I got my first government job with the Town of Clarkstown, a special day when she voted for the first time at the age of 84, I wouldn’t have changed anything.

While you leave with a big piece of my heart, I promise that whatever I do in my life, kids or weddings, major accomplishments, etc. - you will be mentioned and remembered. Please spoil Achilles with as much cereal as you want!

Clara lived most of her life in the Bronx, NY but for the last 20 years she lived in Suffern. She loved playing the lotto and watching the news and all of her programs.

Thank you for everything and as my grandma would say - from the bottom of my heart - I love you.

Rockland County community centers and for Adult Education. She served on the Clarkstown Litter Control Board, volunteered at Meals on Wheels, and worked as an election poll worker for many years.

Patricia was a parishioner of St. Anthony’s Church, Nanuet, where she taught religion classes and was a member of the Blessed Mother’s Sodality. Her beloved husband of 58 years, John, predeceased her in 2017. Patricia is survived by her six children, Ann of East Greenbush, NY, Jane of Great Barrington, MA, John and Yvette of Warren, NJ, Katie and John Duke of West Nyack, Sheila and Michael Toto of Feeding Hills, MA, and Stephen and Tina of Louisville, KY; seven grandchildren Trevor Stanhope, Jeremy Stanhope, John Jay Dusza, Nina Dusza, Caroline Toto, Thomas Dusza, and Ryan Dusza; and her nieces, nephews and relatives. Funeral Mass was held May 13 at St. Anthony’s Church, Nanuet.

William Warren (Bill) Matthews, Nanuet, 97, passed away May 12, 2022.

Bill was born February 26, 1925 in Atlanta, Georgia, and later moved to Jew Jersey. He attended New York University where he played football and ran track. After graduating with a master’s degree, he began a successful career as a Special Education teacher and was affectionately known as “Mr. Matt”. Bill was a man of great faith and a loyal parishioner at St. Paul’s A.M.E. Zion Church. He was an extremely kind and friendly person, and his greatest pleasure was being around his family and friends. He is survived by his wife of 37 years Florence Matthews; his two children Warren (Victoria) Matthews, and Ann Matthews; his stepchildren Fran (Steve) Morrow, Michael (Jan) Kirsch, and Robyn Bruck; grandchildren Pearse, Jason, Malcham, Ryan, Jessie, Jordan, Alyssa, Emily, Alex and Joey; and great-grandchildren Kyle, Quinn, Hayden and Luke. Bill was one of the few remaining World War II veterans and was buried May 16 with military honors at the Frederick W. Loescher Veterans Cemetery, Spring Valley.
