Today’s commemoration keynote speaker was NYPD Chief James Secreto with Rockland County Undersheriff Robert Van Cura as the Master of Ceremony.

Thomas Gallagher, a NYPD detective raised in Rockland who attended Nanuet schools, died from cancer in March of 2018. His cancer is attributed to working in the debris resulting from the terrorist attacks that collapsed the Twin Towers in lower Manhattan on Sept. 11, 2001.

Gallagher’s name is chiseled among those of 28 officers from Rockland dating from 1905 who either worked in the county or for other police agencies. The most recent names are of officers who died of 9/11-related diseases.

Recently, a resident posted this picture of a large black rat snake at Congers Lake. Town staff was sent to identify and locate it and the photo was sent to the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation experts who identified it as an extremely large native black rat snake. According to the DEC these snakes average three to five feet but can grow to as large as eight feet. It is not venomous and poses NO harm to people. It is prime season to see them as they emerge from hibernation and the temperature is still cool out. They feed on mice, voles, small birds and eggs etc.
If you see this snake or others like it just give it space, they will be slower this time of year due to weather and will pose no harm to any residents. If you have any questions related to wildlife please call DEC region 3 general wildlife line 845-256-3098.
