Shattered to Pieces
After Danielle Rella’s visit on Tuesday, the site on Officer Kenneth Baribault had a 300% increase in daily traffic which was due to members and visitors viewing her post on an online message board.
So far Wednesday’s visit broke all daily records since the site launched.

Finest Honors Bravest
By now you should have known that Firefighter Philip Scarfi risked his safety by crossing six lanes of traffic on the (LIE) Long Island Expressway to get to Officer Baribault in his damaged Chevrolet Impala cruiser.
He may not consider himself a hero or was only doing the right thing sixteen Sundays ago but in New Yorkers eyes, Scarfi is a true hero.
Last night, Nassau police honored Scarfi along with Captain Vincent LoRusso who was named “Police Officer of The Month” back in December 2007 by TSLI. Capt. LoRusso received the honorary title when he came to the aid of a woman (while off duty and driving with his family) whose vehicle met in a two-car collision and was caught on fire near Stewart Avenue.

Out of Site!
KennethBaribault.com is out of sight! Or at least it was. The site was registered on June 22, 2008 and thanks to a special relation with Google, the site was in their Search Index within 2 days.
It’s first visitor was a computer user from the New York University who took 12 minutes (the longest vist so far) out of their day to read and learn about Officer Kenneth Baribault.
Since then, visitors from well known companies such as CBS Corporation, Vengroff Williams, and the Pepsi Cola Company have visited since its launch and even readers from all over the USA, Canada and one as far as Australia.
All this went unknowingly to the Baribault’s family until Tuesday when Baribault’s sister, Danielle Rella, found the site while searching the Internet without using Google’ Search.
“I was trying to locate an article written about my brother’s crash” says Rella in a post on a message board “so I put his name into Yahoo — I’ve done this once before and WOW it is crazy to see all that comes up but this time I found… KennethBaribault.com”
Since her discovery, the site has had an increase in daily traffic.
No Claim! Don’t Blame!
If you do not have a Notice of Claim, you do not get to blame, says the law so a US$50-million notice of claim was made upon the County of Nassau by Salenger Sack Schwartz & Kimmel, LLP “protectively” for Officer Kenneth Baribault according to Marvin Salenger who is a partner at the firm.
Is that a whopping amount? Quite frankly, no. This was out done earlier this year by US$10-million by Parker Waichman Alonso, LLP who did a US$60-million notice of claim on the County of Nassau on Behalf of Rickey Ward for the Wrongful Death of his 6-Year-old daughter, Jewell Ward, who was alledged to have been drowned by her Mother, Leatrice Brewer.
