Former Brooklyn Bar President Reich, Sentenced For Taking Bribes

The former president of the Brooklyn Bar Association and chairman of the group’s Judiciary Committee for 27 years has been sentenced to 27 months in federal prison for accepting bribes totaling $10,500 as a court-appointed referee.
Reich, 68, had pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy in March in a plea deal with federal prosecutors, acknowledging that he had accepted bribes between May 2002 and June 2003 to lower the purchase prices in connection with auctions of three properties he had been appointed by the Brooklyn court to oversee. He had been indicted with 16 counts and arrested in December, 2003.
He also admitted to making a false statement in an affidavit in regard to the investigation.
Reich, whose pre sentencing report shows has $1.6 million in personal accounts, has already paid $10,500 in restitution. He was also fined $75,000 by Eastern District Judge John Gleeson.

According to court records, the FBI had pressed Reich to cooperate with an ongoing investigation into judicial corruption in Brooklyn but Reich refused, saying he no knowledge of any wrongdoing by Brooklyn judges.

In imposing the less than minimum sentence, Gleeson said he had taken Reich’s age, health and agreement to pay restitution into consideration.

Williamsburg, Brooklyn, A 94-year-old Woman Has Been Given Until July 16 To Vacate Her Apartment.

A 94-year-old woman Dottie Wollner, who lives in the Williams Plaza houses in Williamsburg and moved into her sister's apartment to care for her as she was dying is being ordered by the Housing Authority to pack up and leave the flat she considers her home.
Ms. Wollner, switched towers nearly three years ago to tend to her sister, and settled into her apartment. The housing authority wants her back in her old unit - for which she has continued to pay rent.

"I want to stay," she said. "If I go back to my own place, I could die.

"Ms. Wollner is in no danger of being evicted. However, she cannot keep two apartments," NYCHA spokeswoman said, explaining that she can return to her original unit.

But Powsner said moving Wollner, who has trouble moving without a walker, would be "like killing her."

The family plans to fight the eviction notice in tenant court. Marty Markowitz, the Brooklyn borough president, sent a letter to NYCHA and says he will do everything he can to help the woman.

"Even a bureaucracy must have rachmones," he said, using the Yiddish word for compassion.

Roosevelt NJ, Residents Protest Yeshiva Plans

ROOSEVELT — Plans to bring a yeshiva — a private, intensive religious school for Jewish children — to Roosevelt is drawing the community's ire.
Neighbors fear the school could change the small town's character, while the hosting synagogue is hoping the yeshiva will revive its struggling congregation.
Fiery accusations of prejudice on the part of residents and the board's refusal to consider a survival plan more palatable to the community flew at a recent community meeting to discuss the yeshiva, but the night ended without any clear picture of the future.
Board members of Congregation Anshei Roosevelt on Homestead Lane want to allow a yeshiva at the synagogue for a one-year trial run. The yeshiva would be only for boys and would educate eight to 10 students in its first year. If the school stayed in Roosevelt, the yeshiva would add one grade each year, possibly reaching as many as 50 students in four years. The school would have one head rabbi and a teacher per grade who will likely live in town.
The prospect of a yeshiva in Roosevelt isn't sitting well with many impassioned residents, who came out to a July 1 community meeting to learn more about the plans. Residents' concerns ranged from the yeshiva's influence on the tiny borough's character to the impact on Roosevelt's only nursery school, which is housed in the synagogue and will presumably be evicted if the yeshiva stays past the year trial run.

Kiryas Yoel MonDroe's Hatzolah Ambulance Service Corp. Bought New CPR Device

Kiryas Yoel MonDroe – A new device laid out for demonstration yesterday inside the Kiryas Yoel ambulance garage has a profound purpose: saving people whose hearts have stopped beating.
This device, the first of its kind in the Hudson Valley since coming on the market last year, was created to improve a patient's chances of surviving cardiac arrest by doing with greater precision and consistency what emergency workers have always done with their hands.
The device delivers 70 percent to 80 percent of a patient's normal oxygen supply, vs. a 30 percent "profusion" rate with manual CPR,

Kiryas Yoel's ambulance service bought one for about $17,000 soon after learning about it. The ambulance service has had one on loan from the company for about a month while waiting for its own AutoPulse to be delivered.

Lakwood NJ: Police Who Arrested Rabbi And Dean of The Mesivta of Lakewood, Claims Receiving Threatening Phone Calls

The pictures painted by those who know them show two men good at what they do. Yet the two are entangled in a bizarre story that has the Rabbi, 62, facing charges of aggravated assault on the police, a 30-year-old cop who has been on injury leave since the June 26 arrest.


The rabbi's arrest sparked outrage in the Orthodox community and the cop's claims that the family has been receiving threatening phone calls for a week and a Committeeman also confirmed Tuesday he also has received a "very very nasty" call. So now, police, politicians and community leaders are preaching tolerance and education.

In order to bridge the culture gap that may have caused this incident, officials say, the Orthodox community and the Police Department must learn more about how the other works.

"We both recognize there's room on either side to move closer together," Township Committeeman said. "It's a shame something like this has brought that out."
