Recently, eighth graders from Fieldstone Middle School had the unique opportunity to tour the Rockland County District Attorney’s Office (RCDAO) and the Rockland County Courthouse. The students were introduced to various aspects of the legal system, including a demonstration by RCDAO electronics detection K9 Remy, a visit to Judge Fried’s courtroom and participation in a mock arraignment, where students took on roles as both the District Attorney and defense attorney. The experience allowed the students to gain a deeper understanding of the legal process and the responsibilities of those who work in the justice system.
The tour was capped off with a meeting with #RocklandCounty District Attorney Tom Walsh, who provided an overview of the District Attorney’s Office and answered students’ questions. It was inspiring to see so many students eager to learn more about the legal profession, with many expressing an interest in pursuing careers in law.

May is traditionally the month when nurses are recognized worldwide, in part because May 12 is the birthday of Florence Nightingale. She professionalized nursing roles for women and is known as the founder of modern nursing.

In celebration of National Nurses Month, Rockland County Legislature Vice Chair Dr. Aney Paul, a longtime nurse herself, presented the Distinguished Service Award— the Legislature’s highest honor— to three exceptional nurses: Glenn Albin, Dr. Gaelle Duvivier, and Mary Laiju Shine Kelanthara. These honorees were recognized for their professional excellence and dedicated community service.

  • Glenn Albin transitioned from accounting to healthcare, serving as a paramedic and emergency room nurse for over four decades. He mentors new nurses and teaches advanced life support, while actively participating in the Knights of Columbus and South Orangetown Ambulance Corps.

  • Dr. Gaelle Duvivier, a Certified Nurse Midwife and educator, works with New York Presbyterian and SUNY Rockland. She advocates for women’s health, leads health fairs, and researches ways to improve breastfeeding and reduce health disparities.

  • Mary Laiju Shine Kelanthara, with 28 years of nursing experience, serves as an Infection Control Nurse at HVDDSO. She’s also a passionate volunteer, fundraiser, church educator, and South Indian TV actress.

Dr. Paul praised the honorees for making “a positive difference every day” in the lives of Rockland County residents.
