Clarkstown woman beats Leukemia: Essie Oates oldest recorded patient to successfully receive risky cancer treatment

By: Christina Coulter

A 78-year-old Rockland County cancer survivor may be the oldest-ever recipient of allogenic stem cell treatment.

Essie Oates is in remission after her 41-year-old son Oliver donated his bone marrow for a transplant. Typically, a patient over the age of 70 wouldn't be recommended for the risky procedure. But Montefiore Einstein Cancer Center Nurse Practitioner Rosma Mathew told the Rockland County Times that Oates was approved for the procedure because she was "in such good shape and fighting spirit."

A mother-of-two, Oates, who was raised in South Carolina and has lived in Clarkstown for 45 years, was one of 20,000 diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia last year. She began her four cycles of stem cell treatment last February, four months after her July diagnosis and several rounds of chemotherapy.

"At one point we were doubtful that she would be able to stand this procedure," Mathew told the Rockland County Times. "I told her [the things that could happen] so many times, and she was like 'let's go for it.'"

Oates sought out a second opinion after her first doctor would not approve her for the treatment; Dr. Aditi Shastri at New York Presbyterian approved her for the lifesaving procedure after a consultation, telling her that "age is just a number."

On September 11, Oates celebrated her 78th birthday with her family, and told the Rockland County Times that her loved ones "couldn't believe how good [she] looked."

"I just want people to know that you can do it - you'll be surprised. you have to believe it," she said. "Just because the norm is set or something doesn't mean that you can't do it just because someone else said you can't."

The mother-of-two credits her vitality to eating right and exercise. Her active lifestyle includes regular walks around Rockland Lake and across the Tapen Zee Bridge, plenty of outings with her two dogs, and a healthy diet devoid of red meat.

She also credits her recovery to her faith and her Montefiore care team: "It's hard to say how nice they are and the positivity they give me."

Stony Point police cruiser rammed by drunk driver, while conducting DWI stop on a third party

A Middletown man, whose car rammed into a State Police car on the Palisades Interstate Parkway in Stony Point, has been charged with aggravated DWI, and endangering the welfare of a child.

Police said Donald Bolling, 44, had a three-year-old in his 2001 Mazda at the time when he had a BAC of .12 percent.

He was issued 13 tickets, arraigned, and remanded to the Rockland County Jail without bail.

The two troopers in the patrol car, which had its emergency lights on during the 5:20 a.m. incident on Sunday,

September 25, sustained minor injuries and were treated and released from Montefiore Nyack Hospital.

Bolling and the child were not injured.

The incident began when troopers were stopped behind a vehicle in the northbound lane of the Palisades with its hazard lights on. That female driver was determined to be impaired by alcohol, was charged with DWI and transported to the Haverstraw barracks by another trooper.

The remaining troopers were sitting behind the Mazda waiting for a tow truck when the Bolling vehicle struck theirs.

Man charged with urinating on grave site in Tappan

A 68-year-old Bergenfield, New Jersey man has been charged with public urination for allegedly urinating on a grave site at 32 Old Tappan Road in Tappan.

With the assistance of the complainant, the suspect was identified. Police did not release his name.

Anyone who may have any additional information is asked to call Orangetown Police at 845-359-3700.

Jury convicts Haverstraw man for sexual abuse of minor

Ramiro Linares, 39 of Haverstraw, New York has been found guilty of one count of Sexual Abuse and one count of Endangering the Welfare of a Child following the conclusion of a jury trial before Judge DiCaprio in the Village of Haverstraw .

In December of 2012, the defendant touched the genitals of a female child known to him when she was approximately 12 years old. Between October 2012 and July 2013, the defendant engaged in conduct that endangered her welfare.

Ramiro was declared guilty on September 22 and faces up to one year in jail for each offense, he will also be required to register as a sex offender. “Children are one of our most precious resources and represent the future. The abuse of an innocent child is unconscionable and sickening,” said District Attorney Thomas E. Walsh II in a statement shared with the Rockland County Times. “My office will continue working with our local, state, and federal partners to protect children in Rockland County. We will be seeking the maximum penalty under the law at sentencing. ”

THE COUNTY

CORNER

“Preserving Rockland”

By County Executive Ed Day

I am pleased to announce that Rockland County is now ranked #15 of all local governments nationwide, for our utilization of 100% wind electricity. The list by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognizes municipalities purchasing clean, renewable energy.

In Fall of 2020, Purchasing Director Paul Brennan and myself revealed that the County of Rockland, the Rockland County Sewer District No. 1, Rockland Community College, and Rockland Green have been awarded a contract to provide 100% green/renewable wind electricity to each agency over the next three years.

In total, savings are projected at $600,000 for the agencies, over the three-year term of the contract. But we didn’t just make this move to save taxpayer dollars, we also did this to protect the environment for generations to come.

This administration is committed to preserving the beauty of this County long after our time has passed.

To achieve this, we have been moving forward with the Open Space Acquisition program which we funded through last year’s budget process. Under this program we are pursuing the purchase of 6 new parkland properties totaling just over 37 acres that would be preserved.

Additionally, we are working hard to distribute every single penny of the $63 million in federal funding we received under the American Rescue Plan. On top of grants dispersed to small businesses and restaurants, we are also on track to award close to $10 million to municipalities and non-profits for green spaces.

The County of Rockland is also continuing efforts to bring this county infrastructure into this century.

In August, County Executive Day and the Division of Environmental Resources launched Rockland’s Sustainability Project involving nearly 20 County Departments, led by the well-known environmental and planning consulting firm Barton and Loguidice.

The project will generate a long-term plan to support, focus, and improve the County’s efforts in the New York State Climate Smart Communities (CSC) and Clean Energy Communities (CEC) programs. The plan will help maximize available grant funding and guide Rockland towards a green and sustainable future as efficiently as possible.

West Nyack resident featured in Discovery Orchestra’s post pandemic revival

The Discovery Orchestra returned to the concert stage last Sunday with an exploration of French composer Camille SaintSaëns' masterwork Symphony No. 3 in C Minor (the "Organ" Symphony). After a lengthy hiatus brought on by the pandemic , the Emmy Award-nominated, Summit, New Jersey-based orchestra, led by Founder and Artistic Director George Marriner Maull, taped its sixth national public television special at the Hauser Auditorium at The Pingry School in Basking Ridge, New Jersey. The special, Discover Saint-Saëns' "Organ" Symphony, features a 90-piece orchestra and is projected to begin a threeyear national distribution by American Public Television in May. Comprised of a diverse roster of virtuoso musicians, including Juilliard trained violinist Peter Winograd of West Nyack, The Discovery Orchestra has introduced millions around the world to classical music through interactive performances, dubbed Discovery Concerts.

In their new one-hour special led by Maull, a Bedminster resident, and featuring Winograd as concertmaster (or lead Violinist), The Discovery Orchestra shares an interactive exploration of Finale of Symphony No. 3. The piece was musically adapted for use in the score for the 1995 family film Babe and its 1998 sequel Babe: Pig in the City. Composed in 1886 and premiered the same year in London, the majestic “Organ” Symphony was such an overwhelming success that Saint-Saëns was quoted as saying, “I gave everything to it I was able to give. What I have here accomplished, I will never achieve again.”

The live taping saw Maestro Maull engage and inform the audience members of the intricacies of the piece, including different musical themes, developments of these themes and transitions of the piece.

"The Saint-Saëns Symphony No. 3 Finale is one of the most uplifting compositions ever written by any composer, and we aim to transport audiences into the heart of this piece for a powerful boost to everyone navigating these most difficult times," said Maull of the special.

Attendees include members of several groups, like the Rhythms for Life program of the Morris County (NJ) Chapter of The Links, Newark Boys Chorus School (NBCS), the Gay Activist Alliance of Morris County (GAAMC), DrewUniversity and the Newark School of the Arts. These diverse groups of music lovers were all united in the thunderous applause they showered the Orchestra with following the performance.

"This was an outstanding event, meticulously planned AND executed! Our students and families were thrilled and so very thankful," said NBCS Head of School Paul Chapin. "The Discovery Orchestra is a wonderful organization, and your mission is vital."

"In the words of our Program Director, Ramelle Massey, Sunday's event was absolutely fantastic!" said Marjorie Rich of Rhythms of Life. "Many thanks to the Discovery Orchestra organizers for a wonderful afternoon."

The special is being made possible by support from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts, as well as Michael J. Johnston, the Kosloski Family Foundation, David & Ellen Williams, Elliot & MaryJeanette Dee, Bob & Cynthia Hamburger, the F.M. Kirby Foundation, Main Street Wealth Management, Bill & Pat O'Connor, Mr. & Mrs. Sterling L. Pierson, Dan & Gail Kopp and Rachel Weinberger & Ed McGann.

Rock Garden: Lawn Alternatives

By Patrick McLoughlin

Lawns, frankly, require a lot of labor and upkeep to be main tained to any decent degree. You need the right equipment, the time to maintain it, and the desire to consistently use it to have your lawn looking pristine. Behind the scenes are the costs of fuel, fertilizer, seeds and any other components of your land scapes upkeep. Many people can’t afford a proper lawn care routine, or perhaps simply want nothing to do with a traditional American grass lawn. Luckily, there are a plethora of options when it comes to lawn alternatives and there are many ways you can alter your yard’s landscape with minimal effort.

Somewhere in between the well manicured lawn, and an abandoned patch of grass, lies a goldilocks zone where a homeowner can find a balance. And this balance is easier to at tain when considering the planting of things other than grass in your landscape. Trees, for example, provide shade (depending on the species) and can lead to less aggressive lawn growth and less frequent need for mowing. Densely shaded canopies tend to encourage the growth of mosses and sparse grassy patches, but can also be home to shade tolerant shrubs that either yield beautiful flowers or bountiful fruit. Some trees to consider are the Japanese red maple (Acer palmatum) or the golden rain tree (Koelreutaria paniculata), which both generally maintain shorter mature heights as well as dense and stunning foliage. The latter tree gets its name for its thousands of small yellow flowers that all fall off once bees have had the chance to pol linate them. Raspberry bushes, currants, and even arctic kiwi vines are all great fruit-bearing plants that can thrive in dappled sunlight under tree cover. The shade is also a great place to grow rhododendrons, which are truly incredible plants when

grown to maturity. This region of the Northeast has the perfect climate for them, and they create impressive blooms that never disappoint. Another favorite perennial bush that is also pollina tor friendly is the “Seven Sons’’ plant, Heptacodium miconioi des. While this bush doesn’t have the most showy flowers, they attract an abundance of bees and butterflies in the Summer and Fall.

A landscape isn’t just plants, it’s also the “hardscape” which is defined as any non-living part of your landscape design. Rock walls, boulder clusters, fences, fountains and paths are all part of your hardscape, and enable you to enjoy and interact with your yard. Be it walking down a path cleared of weeds and dewey grass, or sitting on a bench for coffee that offers a great view of your new berry patch, your yard has to be a place that offers a means for enjoying the work you put into it. And even if all of these ideas seem like a sickening amount of work, there are ways you can try and avoid any lawn care at all. Larger trees, especially pines, can create dense thickets where noth ing can grow under them. Large ornamental grasses can spread aggressively, as does bamboo, and requires little upkeep other than stopping them from spreading too far.

No matter who you are, your surroundings end up being the product of your decisions, and your yard is often the first im pression you offer those that make their way to your door. By making the right landscaping choices, you can make as little work look as great as you want. Just remember to always try and incorporate native plants and flowering shrubs to better support your town’s ecosystems.

Health Department offers free flu vaccine and Covid-19 booster in Pomona

The Rockland County Health Department has scheduled mul tiple flu (influenza virus) and COVID-19 booster vaccine clinics as Rockland braces for flu season.

Clinics will be held at the Robert Yeager Health Center, Build ing A, located at 50 Sanatorium Road in Pomona, on the follow ing dates and times:

Friday, September 30, from 9:00 am – 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm.

Friday, October 7, from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm.

To make an appointment for the flu vaccine, visit http://rcklnd. us/flu.

To make an appointment for the COVID-19 booster, visit http://rcklnd.us/covid19.

The vaccines are free of charge. For those with Medicare, Medicaid, or private health insurance, please bring your health insurance card. In order to receive the flu or COVID vaccine, everyone must wear a mask. Walk-ins are welcome and will be registered on-site; however, there may be a wait.

The flu vaccine does not contain preservatives, including thi merosal. The vaccine offers protection against four different flu virus strains that research shows will be most common dur ing this flu season: two influenza (flu) A virus strains and two influenza B virus strains. All flu clinics are for anyone ages 6 months and older. A high-dose flu vaccine will be given to those 65 years of age and older. Everyone 6 months of age and older should get the flu vaccine as soon as it becomes available each year before the flu begins spreading in your community. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends getting

a flu vaccine by the end of October.

“The flu and COVID-19 are serious diseases that can lead to hospitalization and death. Even healthy people can get very sick from the flu and COVID-19 and spread it to those more vulner able to complications. Preventing a severe flu season from arriv ing along with COVID-19 is critical to protecting yourself, your families, and the community. I encourage all eligible adults, adolescents, and children to get their flu shot and be fully vac cinated and boosted for COVID-19 as soon as possible,” said Dr. Ruppert.

The new COVID-19 bivalent boosters, authorized by the Food and Drug Administration in August 2022, can be lifesav ing and protective against variants not included in the primary vaccine series. These new COVID-19 boosters are tailored to protect against Omicron BA.4/BA.5 subvariants now circulat ing and the original version of the virus, strengthening previous vaccination protection. Everyone 12 and older can receive the updated bivalent COVID-19 shot at least two months after their most recent vaccine or booster dose. The monovalent mRNA Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine remains authorized for use as boosters in children ages 5 through 11 and for all primary series vaccinations. More information on booster eligibility can be found here.

Clarkstown was officially established over two hun dred years ago, yet this land had been settled long before that. For most of its history, Clarkstown was a farming community like the rest of Rockland County, unrecog nizable from the densely populated suburban region it is today. It was not until the Tappan Zee Bridge was constructed in 1955 that the county’s population sky rocketed and suburbanization took over the New York metropolitan area. Over the next few decades the town worked tirelessly to meet the demands of our expanding community. It is easy to forget that people have been liv ing in our community since before our nation was even born, but there is one reminder of colonial Clarkstown.

One of the town’s best kept secrets is the tiny park hid den among the government buildings in the heart of New City. Dutch Garden is precisely what it sounds like, a memorial to the original Dutch settlers of New York and a recreation of a European style garden that was common in the majestic estates of the colonial elite. Construct ed in the 1930’s on a three-acre strip of swamp land by Mary Horgan Mowbray-Clarke, a native of Nyack, the project was commissioned by the Works Progress Ad ministration, the largest New Deal agency and was the only W.P.A. project of its kind to be designed and super vised by a woman.

Mowbray-Clarke designed the garden in the traditional Dutch style of low walls and sharply trimmed shrubs on the edges. It was filled with a beautiful arrange of flowers, including tulips and roses. The garden features a gazebo and tea house constructed out of bricks from the famous Haverstraw brickyards. Dutch Garden was a masterpiece when it was finished and the garden won the 1934 Garden of the Year Award by Better Homes and Gardens magazine.

The magazine article quickly made the magnificent patch of land a tourist attraction and First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt once held tea in the gardens, and folk singer and actor Burl Ives once performed there.

The garden soon fell into decay and following the death of Mrs. Mowbray-Clarke in 1962, the county vot ed to remove the rehabilitation plans for Dutch Garden from their budget. The New City Chamber of Commerce began a restoration of the garden in 1964 and with the help of the New City Garden Club, they worked to sal vage what they could of the original brickwork, and plant donated flowers from local nurseries. The park was restored again in the 90’s, but today only a hint of Mary Mowbray-Clarke’s vision remains. The garden is located in the rear of the county courthouse and is separated from the parking lot by the Demarest Kill stream. In 2008, the garden was purchased by Rockland County and declared a county park. A couple of years later a parking lot was opened on the Main Street side of the park, making the historic tea house visible from downtown New City. In 2021, the County constructed and unveiled the Thurgood Marshall Human Rights monument at the entrance of the park along Main Street.

The sight still remains a wondrous reminder of what our town once was, and I encourage all residents to stop by Dutch Garden for a tranquil change of pace and see the beauty for themselves.

Federal Judge Laurie Selber Silverstein has given final approval to the Boy Scouts of America’s bankruptcy suit, creating a $2.6 billion trust fund for sexual abuse survivors. As a result of Silverstein’s decision, no further lawsuits can be brought against the organization. Three campgrounds in the Hudson Valley were scheduled to be sold as part of the settlement; fortunately, Stony Point’s Camp Bullowa, one of the campsites slated for sale, had been taken off the table. “A lot of hard work with our Town Board and our elected officials helped keep it off the table,” said Town of Stony Point Supervisor Jim Monaghan. According to published reports, the actual distribution of the funds may take several years. (Photo by: Kathy Kahn)

Throughout the course of a baseball season, it’s very easy to have a sense of perspective when it comes to one individual game.

After all, you play 162 games and you hear as a fan constantly, hey it’s a marathon not a sprint.

Well, for the 2022 New York Mets, the marathon has turned into an all out sprint over the final week of the regular season.

With a week to go, the NL East couldn’t be more up for grabs.

Heading into Tuesday’s action, the Mets cling to a 1 game lead over the Atlanta Braves and coming up this weekend in many ways is the main event.

A three game series that has a very good chance to decide the division and for the loser it means a trip to the dreaded best of 3 Wild Card round.

The Mets have led the division from basically start to finish all season. It’s been a great regular season, but it would feel unfulfilled without a division title.

The Mets shined brightest this season in taking four out of five games against the Braves back in early August. At that point in time, it looked like the Braves would be a team settling for a wild card birth.

However, I learned last year and I’ve seen it again this

We are going to focus this weeks entry on how RLUIPA impacts local municipalities’ land use. The attached Photo and much of the information for this article came from: America’s Holy War 2011: filmaker Annie McGregor Filmakers Library, Alexander Street Press. Additional information about this film which was filmed in Rockland County and focuses on the Village Pomona is available at the end of this article.

Congress passed the RLUIPA law in the year 2000. RLUIPA is a statute that was supposed to equalize land use for religious groups. There have been numerous unintentional consequences to small communities since RLUIPA became law.

In many cases, it is being treated as a law that gives special privileges to religious entities in all land use matters. There are not many limitations on RLUIPA. Therefore, RLUIPA can be used as a direct attack on a communities’ decision- making.

In NY and NJ, we have different boards that plan out a community based on the wishes of its residents. There are state regulations, and county, town, and village planning boards. These boards take into consideration the infrastructure of roads, schools, waste, water, power grids, etc., and try to make sensible decisions. These boards plan for the reasonable growth and flow of the community. The planners and other boards create a comprehensive plan with zoning laws that reflect the wishes of a community. These laws are shaped by history and the particular needs of the environment, open space, water delivery systems, and the protection of a community’s wetlands.

Any religious group that decides to establish a religious facility can do so anywhere they want. This is causing a great divide in many communities. Longtime residents are starting to feel that the needs and wants in their own communities are no longer being heard. Many believe this law is exclusionary.

Congress voted on this law the day before summer recess July 27 , 2000. RLUIPA passed by unanimous consent. Unanimous consent means – an agreement on a question or matter before the Senate that sets aside a rule of procedure toexpedite proceedings (senate.gov). Unanimous consent also means no one voted against the bill, but not all members were present for the RLUIPA vote.

year, that the Atlanta Braves are a team you simply cannot count out.It feels if you’re a Mets fan, you are dealing with the prospect of the Braves winning basically every single day.

In reality, that hasn’t been the case, but man have they been a terrific team since May 1st.

The Mets have their three pitchers lined up for a big series the way you would draw it up in October.

Friday night it’s Chris Bassitt, Saturday night its Jacob deGrom and Sunday it’s the hired gun, Mad Max Scherzer.

It’s time to deliver.

The Mets have risen to the occasion every single time they have faced a big moment or some sense of adversity.

A credit to their team, their players and especially their manager Buck Showalter.

The Mets have been terrific, but they have been unable to shake the Atlanta Braves for months, now the chance is there.

Heads up, three games.

Winner takes the division, loser plays next Friday in the Wild Card round.

High stakes late September baseball. I’d call it the perfect primer for October and the postseason.

Discussions were supposed to take place in the Fall of 2000. Those hearings and discussions never happened. No land use experts ever gave testimony. There were no local boards, planners, academia, mayors, or engineers present to discuss the impact this bill would have on local land use. This law needs to be reviewed and experts in land use must be consulted this time.

Once RLUIPA passed an unprecedented number of land use lawsuits by religious entities followed. These lawsuits are costing the taxpayers dearly. There is no cap on RLUIPA lawsuits. RLUIPA is being used as a threat to ensure compliance. Towns are bullied into compliance for fear of extraordinary legal fees that come with an RLUIPA lawsuit.

One reason for the increase in religious land use lawsuits is that the religious entity knows that RLUIPA allows for attorneys’ fees. Therefore, a religious entity can bring a case that they know they will never win. However, they will not settle until they get their attorney’s fees covered. This threat of needing to pay the opposition’s legal fees is a compelling enough argument for a small municipality to avoid an RLUIPA lawsuit. Towns like in NY: Airmont, Pomona Woodbury: and NJ towns like Jackson, Upper Saddle River, and Tenafly have had to pay enormous amounts in attorneys’ fees because of RLUIPA lawsuits.

But does this even the playing field as RLUIPA intended? Or does this give religious entities the upper hand in land use decisions? We suggest a cap on attorneys’ fees might dissuade irresponsible land use applications from sueing these small towns.

Another issue is the RLUIPA law needs to be reviewed by land use experts because the rules are very unclear.

For example, the government can impose a land use restriction on religious exercise if they have a compelling government interest. Unfortunately, RLUIPA doesn’t define what makes for a compelling government interest or issue. Municipalities can impose land use restrictions on religious exercise if a municipality needs to protect the health and safety of the community. However, the municipality must use the least restrictive means for doing that. In other words, they must tailor the restriction to religious needs.

The result is small towns and villages need to change everything from traffic patterns, power grids, sewer lines, and the way water is distributed.

RLUIPA needs to be reviewed now. Only Congress can do this. Congress passed this bill without knowing the consequences it would have on communities. The land use portion is giving extraordinary powers to religious entities and is tearing communities apart. Taxpayers resent the fact that they are paying much higher taxes than ever before yet losing the established laws and zoning that attracted them to specific towns to begin with.

Below is a photo of the 100+ acre site plan for the proposed Tartikov Rabbinical College (around the year 2007). The arrow points to the college shaded in blue.

The college is the smallest building with the least amount of parking on the site.

This is the only building dedicated to education. The buildings shaded in red are for high-density hous-

ing for the students and their families who attend the college (5000-6000 people). This amount of people would double the population of Pomona. The Village of Pomona has been ordered to pay the Rabbinical college $2.5 million in legal fees. This is a great example of why the RLUIPA law should be reviewed by land use experts.

You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the ser vices they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.

Anna Papalardo-Blake identified

The identity of a headless body found over 40 years ago in the Hudson Valley has been uncovered following decades of police investigation. New York woman Anna Papalardo-Blake, 44, has been identified as the victim after her remains were found in a trunk on the grounds of a Fishkill apartment complex in 1980. Her body had been found two days after she was last seen leaving her receptionist job at a New York City salon on March 18 of that same year. Following years of investigation, she has now been identified in a recent DNA analysis in a collaborative effort between the FBI Investigative Genealogy Team and private lab Othram. The circumstances surrounding the cause of Papalardo-Blake’s death and any potential leads on suspects involved in the case have yet to be determined as state police continue their investigation. Additionally, state police are asking anyone with further information on the case to contact investigators at 845-677-7300.

Capitol rioter gets a call from the White House

A New York Capitol rioter who allegedly received a phone call from the White House on January 6, 2021 has now been identified. Brooklyn native Anton Lunyk, 26, was on the receiving end of the nine-second phone call though it remains unclear if there was any communication between the two parties or if it had been sent to voicemail. The discovery of the phone call was made by former Virginia congressman Denver Riggelman, who had served as senior technical adviser for the January 6 Committee, and revealed in a “60 Minutes'' interview this past Sunday that the White House switchboard connected the call to Lunyk’s phone. The call was reportedly placed around the time former President Donald Trump delivered a speech in Washington DC where he called the group of rioters “very special” for their support following his loss in the 2020 election to President Joe Biden. Lunyk came to DC with two of his friends with whom he exchanged a series of messages regarding their involvement in the riots and sharing violent threats being made against various political officials including former Vice President Mike Pence, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. The three friends have since pleaded guilty in April on one charge of parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building. They each received a year’s worth of probation alongside a home confinement sentencing and additional fines for their involvement.

NASA tests asteroid defenses

NASA made a significant victory for man versus space after their spacecraft crashed into an asteroid marking the first successful test for defending our planet against destruction. The planned collision was a part of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) designed to prevent asteroids and other space debris from colliding into Earth. The DART spacecraft collided with the 530-foot space rock known as Dimorphos, a moonlet of the 2,560-foot asteroid Didymos, approximately seven million miles away from Earth on Monday night after flying around in space for about ten months. It was able to identify the two asteroids using a device called the Didymos Reconnaissance and Asteroid Camera for Optical navigation (DRACO) along with a control system that works with the Small-body Maneuvering Autonomous Real Time Navigation (SMART Nav) algorithms, which helped bring the spacecraft towards the intended target. The results of the collision will be further analyzed by a global team of scientists which will be useful with aiding further tests and making any necessary technological advancements in the event of preventing further asteroids from colliding with our planet in the future.

Hurricane Ian threatns Florida

Hurricane Ian has now strengthened to a Category 3 storm where it is bound to hit the western Florida coast later this week. The storm made landfall in Cuba on Tuesday where high winds were recorded at 125mph with heavy storm surge reported. Floridians have since evacuated their homes in preparation with grocery store aisles appearing increasingly scarce of emergency items and flights being grounded across the state. Ian is expected to make landfall in the western part of Florida along the Gulf of Mexico between Fort Myers and Tampa with winds expected to fall around 5mph. Reports of heavy flooding and high winds are slated to cause destruction between Wednesday and Thursday. Mandatory evacuations were placed into effect for counties in both the Fort Myers and Tampa area with emergency shelters opening for those with nowhere to go. Additionally, surrounding schools, hospitals, resorts, and retail businesses have closed their doors and boarded their windows in preparation. Emergency workers and equipment were also placed into effect to help with recovery if necessary and a disaster declaration was approved by President Joe Biden this past Saturday to aid the state with any necessary relief.

School shooting in Russia

A 34-year-old gunman killed at least 17 people and left 24 wounded at a Russian school before taking his own life on Monday. The gunman identified as Artyom Kazantsew entered School No. 88 located in Izheusk, a town about 600 miles east of Moscow, wearing a black T-shirt decorated with Nazi symbols and bearing two illegally obtained pistols. Of the victims, 11 children were killed and 22 were left wounded. According to Health Minister Mikhail Murashko, 15 of the wounded victims will be medically evacuated with three of them remaining in critical condition. Kazantsew was revealed to be a former student of the school who was registered at a psychiatric facility. Video footage released by the police documented his body lying on the bloody floor of the classroom after he had shot himself. The gunman’s motives behind the shooting have yet to be released and the investigation surrounding the tragic incident remains ongoing.

Keep Rockland Beautiful to offer new education programs, courtesy of state grant

Senator Elijah Reichlin-Melnick recently announced $20,000 in funding he secured in the state budget to help Keep Rockland Beautiful (KRB) provide two interactive environmental education programs at schools in Rockland. Earth B.E.A.T. works with elementary school students, and Rockland P.L.U.S. works with high school students.

At a recent visit to Haverstraw Elementary School, Senator Reichlin-Melnick spoke with students, as well as KRB Executive Director Sonia Cairo and North Rockland Central School District teacher Nicole Jessie, about the value of KRB’s programs for students and the community.

“Programs that involve students with hands-on connections to their communities and their environment have a powerful impact.,” said Reichlin-Melnick . “As a former teacher, I know the value of partnerships that enrich education with tangible experiences. I’m proud to deliver funding to help Keep Rockland Beautiful continue to work with schools across our county.”

Sonia Cairo, KRB Executive Director added , “Not-for-profits are always operating on a thin razor’s edge, so this funding is really, really helpful. This grant will have a tremendous impact, allowing us to deliver programs that teach students how they can make a difference in their own households, schools, and communities.”

Earth B.E.A.T. provides a series of eco-stations where students focus on energy and water conservation and protection, biodiversity, and climate change. Teachers and parents engage as facilitators.

“This grant is amazing because it allows the school district to sustain these programs year after year and keep our children’s interest alive. Both of these programs teach kids a little bit of taking ownership of their community,” said Nicole Jessie of the North Rockland Central School District

Senator Reichlin-Melnick is especially familiar with the inspiring work of the Rockland P.L.U.S. program as they connect students with professional planners. The Senator, who has his Master’s degree in City and Regional Planning from Rutgers University, once served as a mentor for the program. The P.L.U.S. stands for Planning Land Use for Students.

Rockland PLUS enjoys a 17-year partnership with Columbia University Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Keep Rockland Beautiful, Rockland Conservation & Service Corps, and the Rockland County Soil & Water Conservation District Columbia University, Rockland Conservation and Service Corp. About a dozen high schools participate in a series of workshops to learn about sustainable planning and integrate the ideas into a plan for a site in their community.
