MONSEY, NY – Rockland Good Samaritan Driver Identified! Tonight we would like to recognize Lipa Rubin, the driver featured in yesterday’s video (watch below) rushing to the aid of a student who just exited a school bus in Ramapo.

 

 

Rubin’s quick thinking and selfless actions adverted a potentially horrific tragedy. We were assisted by Assesmblyman-Elect Mike Lawler (who represents Orangetown and Ramapo), who met us at Lipa’s restaurant. Assemblyman-Elect Lawler (Mike Lawler for State Assembly) was there to personally thank Lipa for his actions in protecting the student. The video has over 10,000 views and was featured on CBS New York.

Officially known as Washington’s Birthday, the holiday was originally meant to honor the country’s first president, George Washington. Eventually, the holiday included Abraham Lincoln, whose birthday is Feb. 12. Presidents Day is observed on the third Monday of February each year. 

According to the then-used Julian calendar, Washington was born in Virginia on Feb. 11, 1731. In 1752  Britain and its colonies adopted the Gregorian calendar, which moved his birthday a year and 11 days to Feb. 22, 1732.

During the American Revolution, George Washington stayed at the DeWint House in Tappan. The DeWint House is the oldest surviving building in Rockland County. George Washington also camped out at Washington’s Encampment in West Nyack on Strawtown Road.
