GET CHECKED: Navy Veterans In #Yonkers Should Talk To Their Doctors About Mesothelioma

Yonkers lawyers strongly recommends the following three heath care facilities with the offer to help a diagnosed victim, or their family get to the right physicians at each hospital.

Every US Navy ship vessel built up to 1980 contained asbestos.

Extreme exposure to asbestos may have occurred to US Navy Veterans if they were assigned to a navy ship’s engine room, as a machinists mate, electrician, plumber/pipefitter, mechanic, in engineering, as a repair crew member, as a crew member on a nuclear submarine or as a member of the Navy Seabees.

Additionally, a US Navy Veteran could have received extreme exposure to asbestos if they were required to stay on their ship or submarine for a major repair, overhaul or retrofit at a shipyard.

Asbestos exposure was so extreme on US Navy ships and submarines, about one third of all US citizens diagnosed with mesothelioma each year are Veterans of the US Navy

NY State Judge Rejects Request for Pseudonym, Pre-Action Discovery in Child Victims Act Lawsuit

In one of the first state court decisions involving a new statute in New York that extends the statute of limitations for cases of child sex abuse, the alleged victim will not be allowed to proceed under a pseudonym or start pursuing discovery before his case is filed.

Westchester County Supreme Court Justice Terry Jane Ruderman also wrote in the decision last week that state law allows the court to assert jurisdiction over the alleged abuser, despite him no longer living in New York state.

The victim, who used the name John Doe to file the petition in Westchester County Supreme Court, is planning to pursue claims under the Child Victims Act against Daniel Calabrese, a former seminarian at St. Joseph’s Seminary in Yonkers.

Calabrese was formerly convicted on charges of sexually abusing a child more than two decades ago. He was laicized in 2005, but can still face civil litigation from alleged victims under the Child Victims Act….

MEDIA NEWS: Yonkers Tribune Publisher Hezi Aris Shares An Article From The Hill ArtiWith Acting Police Commissioner John Mueller, Police Benevolent Association President Keith Olson and Sgt. #BrianMoran

LEGAL NEWS: Recent Federal Court Case Indicates That Mueller, Olson and Moran’s Defamation Lawsuit Doesn’t Have Much Of A Chance Against Famed Civil Rights Attorney Michael Sussman‘s Representation

FEDERAL JUDGE: “Few principles of law are as well-established as the rule that statements of opinion are not actionable in libel actions.”

YONKERS: Federal judge points out case law that the statements made in the stories must be “more than annoying, offensive or embarrassing.” as he throws $250 Million national case out of his court room

Hezi Aris‘ “Hezitorials” called the”Blue Truth” in the Yonkers Tribune do not appear to have harmed Mueller, Olson and Moran, as most agree, that their status has greatly improved within the #YonkersPD now that Mueller was named last week to become the next police commissioner.

The cases are now headed to the discovery process where Hezi Aris could easily gain access to #YPD disciplinary records, Yonkers Police Department Internal affairs documents on drinking a police precincts and internal communications on issues like insubordination.

Police Benevolent Association President Keith Olson argues that he should be allowed to get the the names, or IP (internet protocol) addresses of those who posted very mean comments below Hezi Aris‘ “Hezitorials” called the”Blue Truth”

Long Established and settled constitutional case law on anonymous postings do not put the burden on Hezi Aris or the Yonkers Tribune to manage or oversee the unkind, spiteful, or unfair comments, that may very well come from unhappy Yonkers Police Department officers

Many of the obnoxious, vile and unpleasant anonymous comments are hard to follow, because the are coded with insider nicknames for various #Yonkers police officials and elected union leaders.

This reporter and many others agree with Detective Keith Olson that the uncharitable anonymous comments were shabby, unfair, and cruel, but they are still constitutionally protected free speech

And these free speech rights that Mueller, Olson and Moran seek to suppress, in Yonkers, have been paid for by brave young men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice as they were placed in harms way to defend our constitutional rights.

Yonkers Tribune Publisher Hezi Aris contends that this basically a strategic lawsuit against public participation (#SLAPP) designed to intimidate local critics in the media and one Yonkers City Council man has publicly posted that other reporters could be the next one to suffer litigation for exercising their constitutionally protected freedom of the press rights.

A couple of years back, a prior libel-slander suit filed by former Yonkers Fire Department Commissioner John J Darcy against Hezi Aris and the Yonkers Tribune was dismissed

City Council President Mike Khader, Esq. was initially representing Hezi Aris and the Yonkers Tribune in this matter.

THE HILL: $250 Million Lawsuit From Covington Student Against The Washington Post Dismissed by Judge

A $250 million defamation lawsuit filed by Kentucky high school student Nicholas Sandmann against The Washington Post was dismissed by a federal judge on Friday afternoon.

Judge William O. Bertelsman ruled that seven Washington Postarticles and three tweets focusing on the Covington Catholic High School student, who became the center of a viral confrontation with a Native American elder in Washington, D.C., earlier this year, were protected by the First Amendment and deemed opinion.

“Few principles of law are as well-established as the rule that statements of opinion are not actionable in libel actions,” wrote Bertelsman…..

JOURNAL NEWS: How a county-funded Legal Services program helps tenants beat eviction orders in Yonkers

Tax Watch columnist David McKay Wilson looks at how an eviction prevention program in #Yonkers has kept tenants in their homes.
In January, #LisaReeves’ life was on a downward spiral.
She’d lost her job because breast cancer treatments had conflicted with her work.

That caused her to fall behind in rent payments, resulting in an eviction notice – a dispiriting development for a single mother with three children.
At her first court appearance, Reeves said she couldn’t stick around long enough to see the judge because she had another crucial doctor’s appointment.

Weeks later, she received a notice that the judge had entered a judgment against her.
The Reeves family had to leave in 72 hours…..

The son of U.S. Marine who kept Nagasaki cross tells dad’s story

Walter Hooke was a U.S. Marine when he arrived in Nagasaki in October 1945, about two months after the city’s atomic bombing.During his stay, the devout Catholic was befriended by the bishop of Nagasaki, and during one of their outings in the ruined city they came across a wooden cross in the debris of the Urakami Cathedral.

The bishop presented him with the artifact, possibly hoping it might serve as a symbol to change American perceptions about the justification for the bombing that claimed tens of thousands of lives.Over the years,

Hooke felt deep anguish at having this religious symbol in his possession and having survived a conflict that left so many people dead.

All these years later, the cross is finally coming home to Nagasaki.“One of the things that always really bothered my father was that a Christian country bombed a cathedral that was a center of Christianity in Asia,” said Hooke’s son Christopher, 69, at his home in #Yonkers, New York….
