County 911 Center utilizes the latest in technology STORY AND PHOTOS BY MATT SHORTALL

W

hen someone picks up the phone and dials 911, they don’t think of the millions of dollars in technology that goes into building such a system. They don’t often think of the dedicated staff that works 24/7 to respond at a moment’s notice. They only think they’re grateful it’s all there.

For the past 30 years, The Sullivan County 911 Center has been there for residents in their time of need.

Enhanced 911, or E-911, takes advantage of the latest in cellular technology to increase communications coverage and reduce response times.

During the day, there are usually four dispatchers who manage incoming calls. From the midnight shift until 8 a.m., there are two dispatchers who receive calls, contact emergency services, and if necessary stay on the line until they arrive.

There’s a backup 911 Center at the State Police barracks in Liberty. Even at that location, computer monitors and emergency alert devices are set up in a similar configuration as they are at the 911 Center in Bethel. “We try to mimic everything so if the dispatcher has to jump into the seat in Liberty then everything’s the same,” said County E-911 Coordinator Alex Rau. “These guys deal with stressful situations everyday and every minute counts.”

Recent severe winter storms have served as a reminder that emergency response can be complicated by power outages. Rau explained how there are a few different systems in place to make sure that when the rest of the county is without power, the 911 Center is still operational. “We have battery backup for the building and two generators,” Rau said. “But

John Picard said multitasking is an important part of being a 911 dispatcher. Eight computer monitors allows him to recieve infomration about a call, track state police and sheriff’s office vehicles, find a street address and much more.

just like Murphy’s Law, we try to prepare for anything that could go wrong.”

On an average day, Rau and his team receive between 200 and 250 calls, resulting in 60 to 70 dispatches.

Those calls run the gamut of domestic disputes, motor vehicle accidents,

structure fires and so on. “Thankfully, the real serious incidents like shootings are few and far between, but they still happen,” Rau said.

According to Rau, the center’s largest segment of call volume CONTINUED ON PAGE 5E

involves law enforcement, followed

by EMS. Even though EMS is their second most utilized agency, it occupies most of the dispatcher’s time. “We have to get crews moving. It can take time because of the difficulties of manpower and the lack of volunteerism,� Rau said.

Technology has advanced by leaps and bounds over the past decade. In a very short amount of time, the dispatch desks have gone from having two computer monitors to having eight. GPS locating on cell phones has improved and a county-wide emergency radio system upgrade has improved communications coverage.

John Picard has been a dispatcher for just over ten years. He’s been present through the County’s $10 million radio system upgrade, and the difference is noticeable he says.

There used to be five radio towers in Sullivan County and the old emergency communications system was plagued by a shortage of frequencies and dead spots that left responders unable to communicate in some This small facility at the Sullivan County International Airport houses the latest in emergency response technology. A dedicated team of men and women work day and night to make sure emergency services can be dispatched at a moment’s notice.

parts of the county. The new system added four new radio towers. “The new radio system is much nicer than the old one,” Picard said. He explained how the new radio system includes simulcast, which allows them to simultaneously broadcast from all nine towers at once, not just a single tower at a time like on the old system. “We’re continuing to fine tune things, but it’s definitely an improvement.”

With cell phones nowadays, responding to emergencies has become easier. While Rau admits that cell phone GPS tracking is not an exact science, it has already proven helpful in saving lives. “We’ve had hikers lost in the woods who called in saying they didn’t know where they were,” Rau explained. Dispatchers at the 911 Center kept ‘pinging’ the hiker’s phone as they walked so they could see in which direction they were moving. Dispatchers used this information to guide hikers out of the woods and onto a road.

The challenge, Rau explained, was having policies and procedures catch up with the ever-advancing pace of

MARCH, 2018

modern technologies. “In some cases we have great success, in others we don’t. There are definitely some challenges still with internet communications.”

Even with Spectrum, Magic Jack, or other internet phone providers, problems can still arise. Rau said one complication the 911 Center encounters frequently is summer visitors who bring their cable box with them on vacation. “They bring their cable box up from New York City and put it in their bungalow. Then when they call 911 their address comes up as 43rd Street in Brooklyn, for example.”

Smart homes can be another challenge for 911 dispatchers. A smart home is a residence that uses internet-connected devices to enable the remote monitoring and management of appliances and systems, such as lighting and heating.

The same system that tells you your laundry is done can also tell you if your dryer machine is on fire. “So the dryer calls 911. The question is how does that address come up?” Rau asked. “It’s all very cool, but the challenge is figuring out how do we deal with that here.”

Thank You to All Emergency Responders Alex Rau (right) has been the County’s E-911 coordinator for almost 11 years. “We’ve got a great team here, and my pride in them is reaffirmed every day,” he said.

ods may have changed, but their mission remains the same.

Chella Ascatigno became a 911 dispatcher on November 5, 1987. At the time, she had already been working as a dispatcher with the Liberty Police Department. “The county was offering more money, and it was an opportunity to get in on something at the ground level,” Ascatigno said.

“Computers were a big change. When I first started we just had a telephone and a yellow legal pad. We still use the legal pads,” she joked.

For anyone who has worked in 911 dispatch for 30 years, there are certain days that stick out in their mind.

For Ascatigno, the day that sticks out in her mind is July 27, 2005. Five young people and a camp counselor from the Atlanta Dance Camp in South Fallsburg were headed to a nearby lake to go swimming. At one point on State Route 17B, their Dodge Neon crossed over into oncoming traffic and crashed head on into a DPW dump truck. All six passengers

from

in the car were killed.

At the time, Ascatigno and the other dispatchers were having a barbecue outside behind the 911 center. “Everything was ready, we sat down inside to eat, and the phones just blew up,” Ascatigno said. “I’d never seen every line lit up until that day.”

While tragedies like that are fortunately infrequent, it demonstrates how fast things can change in the day of a 911 dispatcher. “When you answer that phone, you never know what’s on the other end,” Ascatigno said.

What makes a good 911 dispatcher?

The ability to multitask is a must.

Often times you’re talking on the phone, asking questions and coordinating a response all at once. The capacity to be compassionate is also important, and great customer service skills come in handy. If you possess these skills, you might have what it takes to be part of the first phase in emergency response.

ack in 1973 there was a dire need in Rock Hill for pre-hospital emergency care. A small group of brave individuals with a vision stepped in to fill that need.

Those determined individuals reached out to the Rock Hill Business Association for support and started canvasing the local area for volunteers.

After much paperwork and approval from the Department of Health, the Rock Hill Volunteer Ambulance Corps filed paperwork to be officially recognized on May 23, 1973.

Other local ambulance groups in the area went out of there way to help the newly formed Rock Hill Ambulance Corps. The Monticello Volunteer Ambulance Corps sold their 1970 Chevrolet Suburban for only $1.00, a deal during any time in history.

Additionally, the Mamakating Volunteer First Aid Squad helped with training the first set of members of the ambulance corps.

But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until late autumn of 1978 that the Rock Hill Ambulance Corps found itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first home. The original location for the new volunteer ambulance corps was in an airplane hanger that was donated by Virginia Lord, a Rock Hill resident.

In keeping with the tradition of helping and serving the residents of Rock Hill, the fire department allowed the ambulance corps to store their truck at the firehouse for almost three years.

The original corps were aided by Monticello Volunteer Ambulance for a time until the fledgling young volunteer organization in Rock Hill could stand on its own two feet.

In 1979, Dolphin Developers donat-

ed the land along Lake Louise Road where the current ambulance corps is located.

Since then, the corps has seen a steady increase of calls in Rock Hill area and in the Town of Thompson as population has grown throughout the years.

In fact, two of the original founding members are still listed as active members of the crew, Neal and Dona Meddaugh.

Not only does the ambulance corps help save lives, they help bring the community together by providing fun events for kids of all ages.

In the winter they lend their services to Holiday Mountain for their winter motocross races.

Around Halloween they gather local agencies, including Catskill Regional Medical Center Staff and local fire companies, and head down to the YMCA of Sullivan and create a wonderful display for kids of all ages for their annual â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trunk â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;n Treat,â&#x20AC;? where trunks of cars are decked out in all the Halloween regalia. Some events are held at Nanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s House Child Care Center and the local firehouses.

During parades and charity events that are held in Rock Hill, such as the annual Celebrate Life Half Marathon, the ambulance Crops are very visible and are ready to help at a moment's notice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are always looking for members, if anyone wants to join we are here and we are looking,â&#x20AC;? said EMT and President of the Rock Hill Volunteer Ambulance Corps Tom Bogursky, who has been an active member for 19 years and has seen the county go through its ups and downs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I first started it was about eight members but now we have 30 members on the roster.â&#x20AC;?

There are different jobs to be had at the ambulance corps. Riding mem-

of the latest technology. And with one of the newest, most spacious firehouses in the County, the community should be in responsible hands for many years to come.

Department Commissioner Howard Petro said that “we maintain our budget very well,” adding that the next upgrade will be a new ambulance, replacing the current one that is a 1994 model. Petro noted the department inventory currently consists of six fire trucks, one ambulance and a jet ski.

The challenge going forward, though, is recruiting enough young firefighters from a generation that doesn’t feel the same commitment of past generations. Congelosi’s own son just became a junior firefighter – after gentle prodding from his father, who has served in Neversink for 13 years. Congelosi’s full-time job is with the County as a 911 senior dispatcher. That, combined with his chief CONTINUED ON PAGE 12E

that recruitment is made more difficult today, partly by the demands made on families that need two to three incomes to make ends meet. He said that when he joined, the men that joined typically had one job that supported their families so they had time to volunteer.

Congelosi concurred with Elberth, adding that the younger population has also dwindled throughout the County.

Elberthh recalled that when he started, the department had a “little firehouse with two fire trucks stored underneath.”

He said that each truck cost $2,000 to $3,000 but they “could get any place fast” because they were former U.S. Army trucks, enabling them to cut across e rough terrain.

Today, modern fire trucks must stay on the main roads because they are so much heavier.

Elberth said he’s glad that the department today has 12-14 junior

SULLIVAN COUNTY DEMOCRAT

firefighters on the force, thanks to a push made in recent years to recruit them. To become a full-fledged firefighter today requires 24 hours of training, compared to just eight hours in the old days, Elberth said.

In his time, Elberth said the department could also not accept more

than 60 firefighters because “uniforms were very expensive and the department couldn’t afford more uniforms.”

As for firefighting itself, Elberth said today’s fires are potentially more dangerous because of chemicals that are included in home furniture that is very toxic. “It’s the smoke that kills firemen, not the fire itself,” said the retired corrections officer, sergeant and lieutenant.

Elberth was also sure to salute fellow elder George Dexheimer, who also has 50 plus years in Neversink's Fire Department and who was the immediate past chaplain.

“George Dexheimer was almost always the first person to get to the firehouse and get into truck and pull it out,” Elberth said of his colleague. "I don't know how he did it."

What hasn’t changed in 70 years is the commitment to saving lives.

As Congelosi said: “I tell the guys all the time: you have to treat every call like it’s real.

irefighters do so much for our community, often risking their lives and dedicating their time to keeping us safe. Like everything else, local communities need a steady pipeline of young people interested in firefighting, whether as a full-time career or as a volunteer.

Sullivan County Fire Coordinator John Hauschild explained that young people in our local fire departments are essential to, “Keep the fire service going. We are in an era where people in our communities are commuting out of town for work. Kids are going to college and not coming back.

“Any young people joining is great,” he added. “Every person we can get is greatly appreciated.”

Hauschild explained that their used to be several family businesses in the area, which would be passed down through generations, thus keeping local people around. But that’s since changed.

While there is always the need for more, some young adults have taken

Louis Tambini, 19, joined the Yulan Fire Department in 2012-13. He was originally convinced to join by friends but grew to love it. He soon got involved with the American Legion

Volunteer Ambulance and grew to enjoy that as well. Tambini is currently a paid EMT at Mobilemedic and is attending Dutchess County Community College to become a paramedic.

When asked what his motivation for the job is, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;That Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m physically there helping people in their time of need, and making a difference even if I or they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice right away.â&#x20AC;?

After graduation, Tambini hopes to stay in the area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the people and the community I live in,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I plan on continuing to help in my community.â&#x20AC;?

As for his motivation for being a firefighter, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just seeing emergencies happen and wanting to help. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more about helping the community than anything.â&#x20AC;?

Kaufmann said he joined because he saw a need in the community and wanted to help out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I fell in love with it,â&#x20AC;? Kaufmann said.

He enjoys being able to help others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In times when people are going through the worse, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re there making things better and helping out.â&#x20AC;?

Jordan Maxwell and Brett Dirie, both 16 and eleventh graders at Sullivan West, recently joined the Callicoon Fire Department as volunteers.

Maxwellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father Willie has been a firefighter for 29 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the family and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always went to the firehouse,â&#x20AC;? Maxwell said.

Certified Urgent Care experience (left) Catskill Regional Medical Group’s Urgent Care facility in the Town of Thompson has been open for hardly a year, yet they’ve already received a prestigious designation from the Urgent Care Association of America (UCAOA) (Below) Urgent Care’s 11,000Square-Foot facility includes primary care services, X-ray services, 12 exam and procedure rooms, as well as laboratory services.

C

atskill Regional Medical Group Urgent Care recently received the Certified Urgent Care designation, distinguishing it as a Certified Urgent Care Category 2 facility.

Opened in May of 2017, Catskill Regional Urgent Care is a state-ofthe-art facility that provides access to fast, comprehensive and professional healthcare to patients in need of immediate medical attention, but who do not require a visit to the emergency room.

This designation places Catskill Regional Urgent Care Catskill among a select few such centers across the country to have met all established criteria of the Urgent Care Association of America (UCAOA).

Located conveniently at the corner of Route 42 and Concord Road in Monticello, Catskill Regional is the only urgent care in Sullivan County to have earned this designation from the UCAOA. “Our urgent care in Monticello has been open less than a year, and we’ve accomplished great things in that short amount of time,” said Dr. Rona Heublum-Colton, Medical Director of Urgent Care for Greater

Hudson Valley Health System. “This is something we worked hard to achieve, and we’re really excited to be here to take care of the Sullivan County community.”

In the ever-changing healthcare environment, it is important for patients to understand their treatment options. Urgent care is a convenient and viable option for medical conditions that cannot wait for a scheduled appointment with a primary care physician. Catskill Regional Urgent Care accepts walkin patients with no appointments necessary during all hours of operation from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and seven days a week.

“We are committed to providing the best quality healthcare to every patient, when they need it,” said Dr. Gerard Galarneau, President of the Greater Hudson Valley Health System Medical Group. “Our urgent care facilities deliver on that commitment.”

For medical conditions that cannot wait – such as unexpected cuts, burns, sprains or fractures and do not require a visit to the emergency department – Catskill Regional Urgent Care is well-equipped with xray and laboratory services, and

licensed providers are always available to perform minor procedures like splinting and suturing.

With this certification, Catskill Regional Urgent Care and the Urgent Care Association of America demonstrate their shared commit-

ment toward providing patients with access to appropriate levels of care.

For more information about services provided by Catskill Regional Medical Group Urgent Care, visit www.catskillregionalmedicalgroup.org.

n 2004, Crystal Run’s state-of-theart multi-specialty medical practice in Rock Hill opened its doors to the permanent and seasonal residents of Sullivan County. With the opening of that facility, we brought a unique model of care to Sullivan County - where Primary Care, Urgent Care and a multitude of specialties were all seamlessly integrated and conveniently located under one roof.

Since then, Crystal Run Healthcare has been providing the residents of Sullivan County access to superior urgent care when they need it the most. As an organization focused on the health and wellness of its community, Crystal Run believes that offering patients convenient access to quality care is a top priority. That’s why our Urgent Care facilities, located in five convenient locations including Rock Hill, are open 7 days a week, 365 days a year, including evenings, weekends and holidays.

Your Urgent Care of Choice Exceeding Benchmarks in Care: The first Urgent Care to open in Sullivan County, Crystal Run Urgent Care offers convenient access for all patients, whether you’re a full time resident, seasonal visitor, or just passing through the area. And if receiving high quality, compassionate, coordinated care are some of your top priorities, then Crystal Run Urgent Care is the only choice for you and your loved ones. We’ve cared for you for more than a decade, and we will continue to care for you for years to come.

In 2011, Crystal Run’s Urgent Care in Rock Hill became the FIRST Urgent Care in Sullivan County to become a Certified Urgent Care Center as recognized by the Urgent Care Association of America (UCAOA), and in 2014 we became the FIRST Urgent Care in Sullivan County to be recognized as an Accredited Urgent Care Center by the UCAOA, and the only private practice Urgent Care in the region to be both Accredited by The Joint Commission and an Accredited Urgent Care Center.

Our Urgent Care centers are managed by trained Emergency Medicine and Family Medicine Physicians at all

times, in addition to certified Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants – who treat patients of all ages. What’s more, having a Physician available at all times is one of the many criteria that Crystal Run has met in order to be Accredited by the UCAOA and The Joint Commission – reflecting our enduring commitment to providing the safest, highest quality of care to our patients in one place.

What sets Crystal Run apart is our model of care and our commitment to offering greater access to quality care.

Our Urgent Care centers are directly connected to the practice’s multi-specialty group medical practice, giving patients access to renowned Physicians in nearly 50 medical and surgical specialties. Additionally, the practice’s innovative electronic health records system seamlessly connects Primary Care, Urgent Care, and specialists, allowing providers access to Urgent Care records in order to offer patients a coordinated and dynamic healthcare experience.

Urgent Care at Crystal Run: At Crystal Run Urgent Care, we offer convenient, walk-in care without the need for an appointment. And, for non-life threatening issues, we offer a less expensive option than a trip to the Emergency Room. Should any prescriptions be needed upon discharge from your visit, your provider will electronically send them to your pharmacy of choice. We offer fully accredited state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging services right onsite– including CT, MRI, X-ray and Ultrasound – in addition to IV hydration, sutures, wound care, and injections.

Keeping our patients’ convenience top of mind, Crystal Run Urgent Care also offers stand-by appointments with Pediatricians and Primary Care Physicians to ensure little to no wait times and provides patients with the opportunity to book appointments for follow-up care before leaving the facility. For patients who have not already established a Primary Care Physician (PCP), that can be done onsite, too.

If you’re a patient of Crystal Run, our Urgent Care providers will have access

SULLIVAN COUNTY DEMOCRAT

MARCH, 2018

to your electronic medical records – making it easier to ensure that care doesn’t conflict with your regular medications or any health conditions you may have. If you’re new to Crystal Run, you’re just as welcome at our Urgent Care. A medical nuisance just might turn into a great introduction to the value of Crystal Run Healthcare.

When to Visit the Emergency Room vs. Urgent Care: For many people, Crystal Run Urgent Care has been and continues to be the main place to visit for medical care for a variety of illness and injuries – especially on weekends or evenings when access to Primary Care isn’t always available. So for after-hour mishaps that can’t wait, Crystal Run Urgent Care brings you a convenient alternative to the emergency room. But for lifethreatening emergencies, such as chest pain or sudden, severe pain, it’s critical to always dial 911 or visit your nearest emergency room. When you need immediate care, Crystal Run Urgent Care can help you with common conditions such as: • Allergic Reactions (non-life threatening) • Animal Bites

The right reaction to Anaphylaxis

A

llergic reactions are not “one size fits all”.

According to Food Allergy Research & Education, more than 170 foods have been reported to cause allergic reactions; then there are drug, animal, and seasonal allergies (just to name a few). Anaphylaxis is a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. Recognizing the signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis can be the difference between life and death.

An allergic response indicates the body’s immune system is overreacting to a certain substance it sees as harmful. These substances, referred to as allergens, can be inhaled, ingested, absorbed, or injected.

An allergic reaction becomes a medical emergency when any of the signs or symptoms are considered severe, or involve more than

one part of the body such as the skin and lungs. These signs and symptoms can develop within seconds or take as long as an hour, but usually happen fast.

Every individual can have a unique, sometimes unpredictable, allergic response.

The following signs and symptoms may indicate a more serious allergic reaction: ● Difficulty breathing and/or swallowing ● Nausea, abdominal pain, or vomiting ● Skin redness, itchiness, raised bumps or welts ● Dizziness, lightheadedness, and fainting ● Chest discomfort and tightness ● Rapid heartbeat or pulse Individuals with a previous history of anaphylaxis, asthma, or food allergies are most at risk.

Some of the most common allergen triggers to be aware of are:
