To be in Rome at such an historic time was something He and the Congers were amazed to hear so many different languages being spoken and to see so many different races and ethnicities as all those people came to say goodbye to the pope "And it was interesting too to see them praying but they're the same prayers that we say every day," Wroblewski said Mary Conger said it felt surreal to be there at that time in history and to see all the different news media stations from all over the world set up around the Vatican They all commented on the universal nature of the Catholic church Pope Francis had his detractors and wasn't a favorite pope among traditionalists but you wouldn't have known that by seeing all the people "It was just a blessing that we planned to be there already but for a completely different purpose," Wroblewski said Wroblewski and the Congers last traveled to Poland together in 2019 when they also visited Rome for the diaconate ordination of Father Matthew Miller who recently served in the Brainerd lakes area and at St Christopher's Church in Nisswa for a few years Rockland County Business Journal Both prostitution and the unlicensed practice of massage are illegal in Clarkstown and town officials have turned to the Court to close down four establishments it alleges are practicing both Clarkstown last week filed a lawsuit in Rockland County Supreme Court seeking to close down HMS Cosmetic Inc an establishment it says is offering both illegal massage and sexual conduct for a fee at 159 Route 304 in Bardonia Clarkstown also filed a lawsuit against Happy Spa 46 operating at 44-46 Lake Road in Congers and Great King Spa at 16 North Route 9W in Congers are offering unlicensed massage and prostitution services to the public Iglesias is the owner of Iglesias Real Estate Holdings of NY (owner of 44-46 Lake Road) and serves as president of Snow Church Realty Corporation (owner of 16 North Route 9W) Casmac Associates is the owner of 159 Route 304 in Bardonia filed against both the owners of the properties and the massage parlor tenants seek closing orders to abate a “serious public nuisance.” undercover police officers went to the facility on two separate occasions last November where they say workers agreed to provide a full-body massage and “manual stimulation of genitals” for fees ranging from $60 to $100 said while receiving their full-body massages the masseuse made a “gesture” suggesting an offer of a sexual act in exchange for more money undercover officers visited the spa facilities multiple times over a period of several months and were offered genital stimulation for between $60 and $140 officers received full body massages and in four of the instances received “gestures” offering genital manipulation the undercover officer says the masseuse asked him how much he normally paid for genital manipulation He also states the masseuse “accepted the $100 payment for the stated genital manipulation.” Offering massage services without a license and engaging in prostitution are violative of the town code The Town charges the continued operations are “criminal nuisances.” The complaints says the owners/occupants’ certificates of occupancy do not allow for use of the premises for massage The Town claims that unless the operations are closed the Town will be irreparably harmed and it has no other adequate remedy at law It asks the Court to grant permanent injunctions against the current use and removal of the operators at each location the premises at 159 Route 304 has a history of providing illegal massage and prostitution services the Clarkstown Police and the District Attorney’s Special Victims and Community Prosecution closed down a similar operation at this address called the Z Green Spa along with several other similar operations in Clarkstown and Nyack the owner of 16 North Route 9W (Great King Spa) has an application pending before the Town of Clarkstown Planning Board to build a three story-senior housing development with twelve one-bedroom units  on the property it owns at 36 North Route 9W in Congers Rockland County has been using the “public nuisance” doctrine since 2014 where a fine of $1,000 per day was imposed against New City Spa that operated at 55-71 South Main Street in New City The fine amassed to $800,000 over the life of the lawsuit for violation of the County’s public nuisance law No court dates have been set in either of the cases The developer of the Cedar Corners warehouse project in Congers returned to the Clarkstown Planning Board with two announcements: first they’ve revised the scoping for its Draft Environmental Impact Statement to include concerns raised by the various government agencies charged with assessing the environmental impacts of the project; and they have increased the size of the project from its prior submission These announcements were made to a largely empty room even though nearly 600,000 square feet of proposed warehouse space will sit about 200 yards from the residential neighborhood of single-family homes off Old Haverstraw Road in Congers lined with cul-de-sacs such as Berry Court The plan calls for the development of 41 acres comprising 16 distinct tax lots The lots would be merged into three developable parcels with warehouses planned for two of the three parcels The third parcel has a conceptual plan for retail or fast-food but no specific plans have been submitted to the town for that parcel a Brooklyn-based developer of industrial properties and multifamily communities in New York is the owner and developer and is working with the Town Planning Board on scoping for the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) Once the DEIS is complete and approved by the Planning Board in a public hearing The meeting was part of a continuing process to allow residents and land use professionals to weigh in on the “scoping” of the DEIS the State Environmental Quality Review Act The DEIS addresses potential significant adverse environmental impacts that can be reasonably anticipated and/or have been identified in the scoping process The largest of the three lots will house 383,652 square feet of warehouse in two buildings with 71 berths and would be occupied by a single user for warehousing The smaller lot contains a 187,000 square foot warehouse building and would be used by up to 28 occupants The site is designated by New York State as a “significant natural community,” populated with oak and tulip forests and is part of a 175-acre contiguous habitat for wildlife The DEIS will expand on the impacts the project will have on that habitat and verify the developer’s submission as to the scope and size of the natural habitat The site also has 5.5 acres of wetlands as well as wetlands contiguous to adjacent sites The DEIS will also look at the likelihood of groundwater contamination at the site and preservation of the wetlands impervious surfaces (hard surfaces that prevent water from soaking into the ground) will cover more than 21 of the 41 acres of the project site Part of the revised plan now adds 299 Route 303 North The developer is offering to keep that parcel undeveloped as open space with a conservation easement The area in Congers along Route 303 is designated as a “Disadvantaged Community” under the NYS DEC guidelines requiring a more detailed analysis of the environmental impacts to ensure that the community benefits from the state’s transition to cleaner making the mitigation of air quality issues from diesel sources and trucking more important The various parcels are zoned for Commercial Office (CO) Commercial Office Support (COS) and Local Shopping (LS) The developer has declined to disclose whether it has tenants for the project or who the tenants are for the various buildings It has indicated that the users of the larger warehouses would likely be interstate trucking companies This lack of information has repeatedly been an issue as Clarkstown and other Rockland municipalities continue to field ongoing warehouse applicants seeking Planning Board approval As residents have pointed out — particularly in the case of the Lincoln Equities warehouse project on Route 303 in Congers — it is impossible for the town to adequately evaluate proposals if it cannot truly gauge the use and traffic impacts of the project Primary access to the site will be from Route 303 a New York State road under the jurisdiction of the NYS Department of Transportation The proposal is broken down into three development projects but SEQRA requires the assessment of the entire project the process of breaking a larger development into smaller projects to avoid meaningful environmental review Proposed Lot 1 consists of two warehouse/office buildings connected by a common corridor with a total of 383,652 square feet The maximum height of the building is 40 feet While 402 parking spaces are required per Town code for the proposed buildings 404 parking spaces are provided along with 71 loading berths The proposal for Lot 2 consists of a conceptual fast food drive-thru restaurant with a building area of approximately 1,800 square feet and 36 parking spaces just to the south of Congers Colonial Plaza The proposal for Lot 3 called for a conceptual two-story building proposed for warehouse and offices The original plan was for a combined office/warehouse of 147,600 square feet with 209 parking spaces The revised plan is no longer conceptual and ups the square footage to 187,200 square feet The maximum height of the building is 35 feet The expected tenants are small users such as machine shops and automotive repair workers in its review of the proposed draft scoping document including the loss of the existing forest and its impact on climate and number and type of trees that will need to be replanted The County also recommended an analysis of energy impacts and an evaluation of greenhouse gas emissions a study of existing wetlands and efforts to avoid potential negative impacts on those wetlands as well as the fiscal and economic impacts of the proposed development The property is bordered by Route 303 to the east Multifamily residential is located north of the site and warehouse and manufacturing uses are located south of the site The property surrounds an existing shopping center and parking lot and existing dwellings with access off Meola Road which connects to NYS Route 303 Single-family residential homes are to the west across the CSX railroad tracks and adjacent to town-owned land known as the “celery” or “onion” fields Warehouse projects on Route 303 have generally met with opposition from the New York State Department of Transportation with extensive mitigating steps required before approvals are granted Development along the Route 303 corridor includes projects by Intercos for additional warehouse space and Chartwell and Aktina for expansion of their existing facilities A Clarkstown drug dealer who supplied the fentanyl-laced narcotics used in six Rockland overdoses was sentenced Thursday to nearly 22 years in federal prison The victims were friends and customers of Justin Turnick the 26-year-old from Congers who sat in federal court in White Plains listening to the heart-wrenching accounts of the parents whose children battled mental health and addictions before succumbing to the pills provided by the young man they called a predator And while Turnick expressed remorse the parents and the judge for showing concern only for himself during and after the deaths — denying involvement hiding evidence and even blaming the victims for their drug use the powerful synthetic opioid that has annually caused more than 100,000 deaths in the U.S requesting a prison term of 8 1/2 years saying the defendant was the victim of a horrible upbringing and he tried often to get her to stop using to no avail He also had learning difficulties and struggled through his education ending up at the Birchwood School in West Nyack where he met some of his eventual victims His mother died of an overdose in January 2018 hours after a 19-year-old Turnick caught her and his older brother getting high in the bathroom and kicked them out of the house His brother died of an overdose in April 2021 Turnick faced a minimum of five years in prison which Halpern was required to consider but was not bound by called for a prison term of 210 to 262 months The plea agreement called for a stipulated guideline of 235 months which is what prosecutors Ryan Allison and Kate Wheelock urged Halpern to impose The deaths that resulted from Turnick's drug-dealing were ample reason for them to seek an even stiffer prison term prosecutors noted in their sentencing memo but they did not because of his troubled background "While Turnick's personal circumstances should be considered it is also deeply concerning that having seen so many drug poisonings in his own family and having experienced a non-fatal drug poisoning of his own Turnick still did not change his destructive distribution behavior," the memo stated The prosecutors emphasized that each case was a "fentanyl poisoning," sharing in the position of grieving families that the term "overdose" suggests those who died were solely responsible for their deaths rather than victims of whoever provided the drugs Turnick was indicted in 2023 and pleaded guilty in August 2024 to conspiracy to distribute fentanyl First death involved 'fake percs'The first death was that of 19-year-old Gustaf Olsen on Feb Olsen and his girlfriend bought pills from Turnick The latter pills were actually "fake percs," with the oxycodone replaced with fentanyl although the girlfriend claimed Turnick had told them they were only oxycodone warm son beset by attention deficit and mental health issues that schools regularly failed to address "My son didn't choose to use drugs because it was fun," she said to bear the life that had become unbearable." She suggested society bore much of the blame for her son's death but that Turnick's callous actions "took me from being a mother of two to being a mother of one alive and one dead." She urged that every time he feels the sun on his face Turnick realize that "my son Gustaf will never feel that sun because of what you did." Second victim was high school classmateJust a month after Olsen's death Turnick first sold drugs to 22-year-old Jonathan Shashoua of Haverstraw Shashoua was a musician and songwriter who had recently completed a demo album and an associate's degree and was looking forward to moving to New York City to continue college He was working through anxiety and mental health issues and the effects of the Covid lockdown and his mother sent him to a residential treatment facility that spring Turnick sold Shashoua fentanyl-laced Xanax The next morning his mother found him unresponsive in his bedroom and emergency responders pronounced him dead called her son "Jonny Sunshine" and the light of her life a gentle and beautiful soul," she told the judge She said that Turnick's actions amounted to "depravity and a callous indifference to human life" but that she had "compassion for the boy who grew up with family trauma and loss." "But family dysfunction does not give a free pass to commit crimes and destroy lives," she said in her impact statement "It does not give a person a license to kill The defendant is an adult man responsible for his actions There is no excuse for repeatedly and knowingly distributing this poison that he knew was killing and injuring people." Turnick gave an 18-year-old romantic partner a pill he said was Xanax but actually contained fentanyl He brought her to a friend's house where the friend and his mother tried to help her before calling for an ambulance Emergency responders gave her Narcan and revived her was interviewed by police and claimed he did not know what the teenager had ingested Turnick was present for the death of the third victim Two nights earlier he had gone there with a bag of drugs and had to revive her with Narcan after she passed out from the heroin she used He stayed over again on the night of July 30 and they continued to use drugs Turnick was seen on surveillance video leaving the house and going to his car When he returned he alerted Koenig's mother who tried but failed to revive the teenager When they interviewed Turnick he denied cleaning the room or leaving the house and said Koenig had taken nitrous oxide and not heroin or pills Koenig's mother, Shoko Saito, said her daughter was full of life, with a heart as "big as it was kind." she remains haunted by the memory of that morning seeing her lifeless body and pumping her chest repeatedly to try and save her "Why would he give her drugs again after she had already overdosed the day before," she wrote in her impact statement And more than that he was already responsible for the deaths of other victims How could he keep doing this knowing exactly where it would lead." The third non-fatal poisoning was a 23-year-old longtime friend of Turnick's in April 2022 at the same house where he had brought his romantic partner the previous year when she was unresponsive as his sister sobbed and relatives of the victims scoffed and he said that the fentanyl epidemic took over his life "and turned me into a monster." In a handwritten note to the judge this week Turnick expressed remorse for the pain he had wrought "Every day I think about the victims and their families and I pray for their forgiveness which I probably don't deserve," he wrote He said he was thankful for his arrest and incarceration because otherwise "I would probably be dead myself." He acknowledged knowing the pain of losing family members to drug addiction and said he hopes to remain sober through his prison sentence and beyond so he can have a family himself one day Halpern imposed the 262 months that was the top of the guideline range He noted that Turnick took a cellphone photo of a passed out Koenig at 4:51 the morning she died (This story was updated with new information.) after a collision between a vehicle and a dump truck on Route 303 in Congers Norm Peters said the crash happened around 9:20 a.m near the intersection of Route 303 and Hemlock Drive in Congers Peters said police found a jackknifed dump truck blocking the road at the scene and a damaged white Kia Soul off the roadway in a grassy area Congers-Valley Cottage Ambulance Corps and Rockland Paramedics attempted life-saving aid to the operator of the Kia but he was pronounced dead at Nyack Montefiore Hospital Peters said no other injuries were reported and the driver of the truck remained on the scene The name of the victim has not yet been released pending family notification Anyone who may have witnessed the crash or has any additional information is asked to call the Clarkstown Police Detective Bureau at 845-639-5800 Palisades Mall Is Hosting The Rockland Arts Festival February 9th Don’t Miss: “Steel Magnolias” A Story Of Strength Resilience And Friendship February 7th “The Death Of King Shotaway” A True Story In Celebration Of Black History Month February 1st At Harmony Hall-Jacob Sloat House “Steel Magnolias” A Story Of Strength Resilience And Friendship “Significant Other” A Funny Bittersweet Rom-Com At The Elmwood Playhouse Nyack January 17th – February 8th Clarkstown High School Seniors Celebrate College Decisions on 2025 Decision Day Lakewood Students Walk the Runway for a Greener Planet CBS Sports Reporter and Clarkstown North Alum Tracy Wolfson Visits Alma Mater Give Back – Donate Gently Used Items and Help Reach 1,000 Bags for a Great Cause A Message From “Dom Togo” New City No One Should Go Hungry – We’re Here to Help Nyack Chamber of Commerce Presents Spring Fest Street Fair April 13th Happy National Puppy Day Shower Your Furry Friend with Love and Consider Adoption American Cancer Society Relay For Life Rockland County Dominican University April 11th Bold Rock Your Socks for World Down Syndrome Day March 21st Rockland Community College Your Gateway to a Career in Construction March 27th Free Breast Cancer Screening Montefiore Nyack Hospital May 9th Stay Cool This Summer with HEAP Cooling Assistance – Apply Today Rockland County Legislators Approve Firefighters’ Memorial George Hoehmann Shares Update: West Nyack Road Temporarily Reopened as Project Nears Next Phase PHOTOS: Rockland County Executive Ed Day Hosts Fundraiser Announces Re-Election Bid to Enthusiastic Supporters Clarkstown Supervisor George Hoehmann Announced His Re-Election Campaign New City Attorney Nabeela McLeod Announces Candidacy for Rockland County Family Court Judge Senator Bill Weber Sworn in for a Second Term New City Attorney Nabeela McLeod To Run For Rockland County Family Court Savor the Flavor: Nyack Restaurant Week Returns April 23 – May 1 Turiello’s in Nyack is Celebrating 45 Years in Business Supervisor George Hoehmann Talks Construction At New Site For “Chick-fil-A” In Nanuet Down to Earth Living Is Offering Free Workshops To Get Your Garden Ready For Spring Down To Earth Living The Many Benefits of Indoor Plants for Health Don’t Miss: North Rockland Verse The Harlem Wizards Charity Game May 8th Haverstraw Police Join Forces with Community for Annual Sports and Law Enforcement Day Officer Genito and The Ramapo Police Department Were Honored for Excellence in Impaired Driving Prevention Car Crashes Into Webster Bank in Nanuet for Second Time in Recent Months;

rose water; and stinging nettle a prickly green once used as a folk remedy for arthritis were among the items used for their impromptu plates Ciannella was inspired from an early age to operate a kitchen Her Italian godparents lived on an adjacent property with a 7-acre farm on Spring Valley Road she helped them to look after their tomato plants “I always loved making people happy through food I believe that you can create happiness around a dinner table just by giving someone a good meal.” and the crops there are just as diverse as the produce she tended to as a child She says she is assisted in maintaining the plot by her husband and her 9-year-old daughter Having a garden is essential for clients who request vegetarian dishes but there is no denying the carnivorous spirit in Ciannella Ciannella tops her filet mignon or strip steak with red wine reduction sauce Her favorite dishes to prepare are ravioli “because they can be stuffed with anything,” and ricotta gnocchi a fish stew that originated in San Francisco She recently baked pizzas for 200 people using an Ooni oven at a benefit in New City She describes her pie-making style as artisanal explaining that she likes to “play around with toppings.” Her preferred combination is arugula Ciannella was in a friend’s car traveling north on the Garden State Parkway when another vehicle suddenly swerved in front of theirs causing it to careen off of the road and into a tree at the junction of the parkway and the Atlantic City Expressway broken ribs and a traumatic brain injury that resulted in memory loss “Everything in my life got flipped upside-down,” Ciannella says She was working in Philadelphia at the headquarters of Anthropologie Ciannella says she did not like her role and that she planned to leave the company because she could not remember how to perform important aspects of her job “It was like the world was telling me not to do it.” she bounced from one unfulfilling position to the next before settling on the realization that her destiny was to be a gourmet chef she received a certificate from the School of Italian Studies at the International Culinary Center — formerly the Italian Culinary Academy — in Manhattan Her catering business specializes in Greek Italian and Spanish food — Mediterranean flavors — that she prepares and serves by herself for events as large as weddings and for more intimate functions like farm-to-table dinners for two a physical education teacher from Grand View-on-Hudson She says she is “not very comfortable” in the kitchen and that she wanted someone to prepare food for her parties to allow her to entertain guests and the chef now delivers meals to her home on Tuesday afternoons It has taken pressure off of Pasquale and her partner to figure out what to make every night says hiring Ciannella to be a chef in her home was “one of the best investments that I’ve ever made.” She and her partner pay $250 per visit for Ciannella to cook dinners for them in their kitchen using ingredients the chef bought that day or harvested from her garden “It’s like having a five-star restaurant in your home,” she says “I don’t even want to go out to eat anymore.” Arrigo says she sought such an arrangement because she wanted to eat healthier “I never gain a pound on her food,” she says She takes such good care in making sure that whatever she puts on the table is really fresh.” Ciannella consults with first-time clients about allergies and dietary restrictions from the accident to that stint in the fashion industry to leaving the restaurant scene if I could — it’s my happy place,” she says “Where I am is the exact place that I was meant to be,” she adds Philip DeVencentis is a local reporter for NorthJersey.com For unlimited access to the most important news from your local community please subscribe or activate your digital account today Email: devencentis@northjersey.com Metrics details Antarctica is currently losing net mass to the ocean primarily from West Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsula which together hold ~5.5 m of sea level rise potential the East Antarctic Ice Sheet stores almost ten times more ice and its evolution contributes significant uncertainty to sea level rise projections mainly due to insufficient process-scale observations Here we report the collapse of the Conger–Glenzer Ice Shelf in East Antarctica that culminated with its March 2022 disintegration We use a combination of observations to document its evolution over four stages spanning 25 years starting 1997–2000 when small calving events isolated it from the Shackleton Ice Shelf followed by relative calving quiescence for a decade; the remaining ~1,200 km2 of the ice shelf disintegrated over a few days in mid-March 2022 These observations of the Conger–Glenzer Ice Shelf collapse shed light on the processes involved the impacts of ocean and atmospheric warming and extreme weather events have substantial implications for the stability of the Antarctic ice sheet and its contribution to future sea level rise Prices may be subject to local taxes which are calculated during checkout Code to produce the altimetry, velocity and oceanographic parameter plots is available via GitHub at https://github.com/PolarCatCCW Deep glacial troughs and stabilizing ridges unveiled beneath the margins of the Antarctic ice sheet The far reach of ice-shelf thinning in Antarctica Instantaneous Antarctic ice sheet mass loss driven by thinning ice shelves Overview of areal changes in the ice shelves on the Antarctic Peninsula over the past 50 years Antarctic ice sheet response to sudden and sustained ice-shelf collapse (ABUMIP) Contribution of Antarctica to past and future sea-level rise in Antarctic Peninsula Climate Variability: Historical and Paleoenvironmental Perspectives (eds Domack Implications for the break-up of Wordie Ice Shelf Creep deformation and buttressing capacity of damaged ice shelves: theory and application to Larsen C ice shelf Oceanic controls on the mass balance of Wilkins Ice Shelf Thirty years of elevation change on Antarctic Peninsula ice shelves from multimission satellite radar altimetry Ice sheet and climate processes driving the uncertainty in projections of future sea level rise: findings from a structured expert judgement approach how fast?: a science review and outlook for research on the instability of Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier in the 21st century Volume loss from Antarctic ice shelves is accelerating Modeling the dynamic response of outlet glaciers to observed ice-shelf thinning in the Bellingshausen Sea Sector rapid grounding line retreat of Pine Island Initiation and long-term instability of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet Pervasive ice sheet mass loss reflects competing ocean and atmosphere processes Pan–ice-sheet glacier terminus change in East Antarctica reveals sensitivity of Wilkes Land to sea-ice changes Recent acceleration of Denman Glacier (1972–2017) driven by grounding line retreat and changes in ice tongue configuration Satellite record reveals 1960s acceleration of Totten Ice Shelf in East Antarctica Dynamic behaviour of the East Antarctic ice sheet during Pliocene warmth Ice volume and sea level during the last interglacial The extraordinary March 2022 East Antarctica ‘heat’ wave Part I: observations and meteorological drivers An investigation into the forces that drive ice-shelf rift propagation on the Amery Ice Shelf Observations of interannual and spatial variability in rift propagation in the Amery Ice Shelf Atmospheric extremes triggered the biggest calving event in more than 50 years at the Amery Ice shelf in September 2019 Damage accelerates ice shelf instability and mass loss in Amundsen Sea Embayment roughness and structural integrity of ice shelves Bassis, J.
