Albert Kalfass, president of South Bay Fire Department, would like to remind everyone to make sure their fire hydrants are shoveled out and easily accessible in an emergency. Regardless of where you live, it is crucial to everyone in the neighborhood. “It saves us precious time when trying to locate and connect to a water supply. The house you save maybe your own,” said Kalfass.

Eight years ago, Eddie Fagan had an idea. As he tried to remove icicles from his tenants’ one-story homes in North Syracuse, he thought, “Wouldn’t it be easier if there was a tool for this job.” “People were going in and out all the time and kids were playing in the yard, and with the icicles forming around the doorways, it was dangerous. I feared for my tenants,” he said. Hassled by the use of axes and ladders, Fagan set to work on an invention that would not only be safer, but also easier to remove the icicles. On March 23, 2010, Fagan received his patent, and the De-Icicler was official. The De-Icicler is a steel, 1 pound 1 once blade with a tooth-like edge used to knock down small icicles off roofs before they cause serious damage, said Fagan. With a circular hole in the center, the
tool can also be slid up around the icicle, and then used to pull the ice away from windows. Standing at a 30 degree angle, the user avoids being hit by the falling icicles. The De-Icicler is designed for an average sized one-story home, more specifically over windows, doorways and garages The process takes about two to three minutes to go along one side of a one-story home and knock down the icicles. Icicles cause a variety of damage to the homeowner and their home, explained Fagan. When someone exits a doorway and they slam the door, an icicle could fall on their head. Falling ice could also damage outdoor meters, cars and patio furniture, and dammed water could cause damage to shingles on the roof. And when ice begins to melt and drip, dangerous puddles of ice form that Please see Shards, page 9
‘Financial plight’ in the village
Mayor appeals to Liverpool residents for budget guidance By Russ Tarby
The village of Liverpool’s budget for 2009-10 is $2.7 million, and $550,000 of that sum came from its share of the 4 percent county sales tax.OnMay4theOnondaga County Legislature voted unanimously to retain a larger share of the $280 million it collects in sales tax each year. The village’s annual allotment was slashed by two-thirds, to $281,000. L i v e r p o o l May o r Gary White says the new arrangement, which will last for a decade, has left the village in “financial plight.” At the monthly village board meeting on Dec. 20, Please see Liverpool, page 9
The donation equation in CNY By Ami Olson editor@theeaglecny.com Wondering how much of an impact your donation to your favorite local charity made this hoilday season? Six not for profit groups in Syracuse shared how far they stretch a $25 donation -- less than the cost of a tank of gas -- to feed, clothe or house the needy, educate the community, or preserve the history of the county. Donations to all of the following organizations are tax deductible and stay within Syracuse and Onondaga
County. If a website is noted for donations, the organization offers a secure online donation system.
Salvation Army
The Salvation Army provides early education programs, child and juvenile welfare and justice services, housing, transitional and emergency assistance for adults and youth, adult day programs, a youth camp and emergency disaster services, all in the Central New York area. During their holiday turkey
drive, $25 donated was doubled by an anonymous matching grant, said Greg Meitus, public relations and marketing manager of Salvation Army of the Syracuse Area. At $15 per turkey, one donor’s $25 commitment could provide almost three complete turkey dinners for three local families, Meitus said. At the annual Christmas Bureau Distribution, a $25 donation could purchase four movie tickets, one of the Christmas Bureau gifts specifically for teens. Please see Donation, page 12

Polls open at 2 p.m. and close at 8 p.m.
Jenni-Lyn Watson was a 20-year-old dancer who’d performed in prestigious shows in Syracuse and was furthering her entertainment career at Mercyhurst College in Erie, Pa. After she was murdered last month while spending the Thanksgiving break at her family home in Clay, several of her musician friends who play in some of Central New York’s most innovative rock bands wanted to do something for her grieving family. But what? They posted a notice on Facebook’s Syracuse
Music Scene and attracted the attention of Liverpool musician Paul Davie who operates an events-marketing company called WOW Factory. Davie presented the idea of a day-long multiband benefit to the owners of Sharkey’s Eclectic Sports Lounge. He also contacted Mercyhurst College administrators and Jenni-Lyn’s family including her mother, Jackie Wilson, and her father, Liverpool Central School District Board of Education member David Watson. “Even though the effects Please see Bands, page 5

Lock down your life online
How secure is your online identity? On Dec. 11, hackers managed to break into the records for technology website Gizmodo and the gossip website Gawker (both websites are owned by Gawker Media). The hackers released a database of thousands of users’ e-mail addresses and passwords to the public. In theory, this would not be too much of a problem for most users — if your account was compromised, at most, the hackers could make a comment on the website under your name. But if you’re like most people, you use the same password for everything. And that can be dangerous when some websites, like Gawker, are less secure than others. It isn’t too much of a stretch: If you use the same e-mail address and password on several sites — to check your e-mail, to access online banking, etc. — and someone finds that same password, you could be vulnerable to an attack. But the fix is easy. Change your passwords from website to website! Don’t use a simple dictionary word, either — sophisticated hackers’ computer programs can try to break into your account with brute force, guessing thousands of words at a time. Google has provided a list of suggestions for password security. For more information, visit google. com/accounts/PasswordHelp. Tips for creating a secure password
Include punctuation marks and/or numbers. Mix capital and lowercase letters. Include similar looking substitutions, such as the number zero for the letter ‘O’ or ‘$’ for the letter ‘S’. Create a unique acronym. Include phonetic replacements, such as ‘Luv 2 Laf’ for ‘Love to Laugh’.
School boards oppose capping property taxes Two weeks before Christmas the state’s School Boards Association played Scrooge by selfishly clinging to the gold coins that rain on them every spring when we pay our property taxes. The school boards loudly announced their opposition to a proposal by incoming Gov. Andrew Cuomo to cap New York’s out-of-control property taxes. If anything, Cuomo’s proposal is long overdue. New York state property owners pay taxes 72 percent higher than the national average! Of course the school boards oppose capping taxes. They rely on their ability to hike taxes at will, reaching ever deeper into our pockets. They always get people to vote in favor of budget increases by saying, “it’s for the kids,” but a quick glance at school district finances reveal major pieces of the pie paying for soaring salaries, pensions and health care for administrators and teachers. It’s not for the kids. It’s for the already well-paid
employees. Ann Marie making friends New 25th District Congresswoman Ann Marie Buerkle doesn’t need Facebook in order to make friends. All she has to do is wander the corridors of the nation’s Capitol. When Buerkle found herself stuck in a snowstorm on Onondaga Hill on Dec. 14, her top aide in Syracuse, Jason Feulner, spoke in her place at the town of Salina Republicans’ Christmas party at the Holiday Inn on Electronics Parkway. Feulner said his boss was enjoying a warm reception in Washington. “When you haven’t made a vote yet,” he quoted her, “everybody wants to be your friend.” Will Dems dis prez? Could Barack Hussein Obama become the first standing president since Chester Arthur whose party refuses to re-nominate him for office? Syracuse University professor of political science Grant Reeher doesn’t think
so.
While admitting that the donkeys’ liberal wing is livid over Obama’s compromise with Republicans on the tax bill, Reeher believes that the Democrats will bury the hatchet and award the incumbent with re-nomination in 2012. Gilbo = Elvis @ Damon’s Elvis Presley’s would’ve celebrated his 76th birthday next month had he not died in 1977 at age 42. Central New York Elvis imitator Tom Gilbo insists, however, that Elvis never really “left the building.” Gil;bo will channel the late King on New Year’s Eve, Friday, Dec. 31, at Damon’s Party House, on Route 31, in Cicero. As he warbles “Hound Dog,” “Heartbreak Hotel” and “Jailhouse Rock,” Gilbo
will be backed by The Blues Suedes, another incarnation of the band Southern Comfort, which will open the show at 8 p.m. The Blue Suedes feature guitarists Eric Will and Marty Dorschel, keyboardist Paul Ferguson, bassist Ray Hare, drummer Tony Kordova. Gilbo takes the stage as Elvis at about 10 p.m. Admission costs $10 in advance or $15 at the door. For reservations, call 668-8600. For band info, visit thebluesuedes.com. SU’s gridiron resurgence We heard the rumblings when the SU Orange football squad beat West Virginia ion their own home turf down in Blacksburg.

Things to avoid
Don’t use a password that contains personal information (name, birth date, etc.) Don’t use words or acronyms that can be found in a dictionary. Don’t use keyboard patterns (asdf ) or sequential numbers (1234). Don’t make your password all numbers, uppercase letters or lowercase letters. Don’t use repeating characters (aa11).
Tips for keeping your password secure
Never tell your password to anyone. Never send your password by email. Periodically test your current password and change it to a new one.

Financial health of state impacts the schools As you are aware, New York State continues to experience a significant financial crisis. As of now, according to State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, the state’s current deficit is nearly $1 billion. At the same time, it is projected that New York State faces a $9 billion shortfall for the next fiscal year, which begins on April 1, 2011. New York State’s financial health has a major effect on state aid assistance to schools. A very harsh indicator of this was our loss of $7.4 million in State Aid for the 2010-2011 school year which has contributed to the reduction of almost 100 positions,
increased class sizes, and reduced services at all levels, both instructional and non-instructional. And in September of this year, just two months after the beginning of our fiscal year, due to its own pressing needs, the state unexpectedly reduced our promised aid by another $558,042. Also, North Syracuse may lose an additional $776,000 in Medicaid Aid for 2009-2010. To complicate the situation, our financial prospects for the next fiscal year are not encouraging. At the present time, due primarily to loss of federal stimulus funding, significant rate increases

in retirement contributions, and normal budget growth, I anticipate an $11.7 million shortfall for the 2011-2012 school year. This does not include any potential loss of state aid which will likely occur, given New York’s anticipated $9 billion shortfall for next year. Consequently, last month, I found it necessary to freeze all expenditures which are not essential to instruction,
transportation, and safety. All open staff vacancies will be carefully evaluated before any replacement action is taken. In my letter to staff, I reminded them that the importance of our mission has not changed. What has changed is the need to carry out our mission in a more effective and efficient manner. To its credit, our staff continues to demonstrate its commitment to our mission – the education of our students – at all times. The assistance and support of the North Syracuse Central School District community is highly valued during this difficult period.
Medicaid reform a pathway to the future By Judy Tassone The first year of my first term is coming to an end. It has been an interesting and an informative experience thus far. Before serving in public office, I was unaware of the depth of difficulties local municipalities face when dealing with the bureaucratic state of New York. Throughout the year I proposed resolutions to help alleviate the tax burden we all face living in New
York. Medicaid and State Mandated Programs are the largest offenders of our local taxes. One hundred four percent of our tax bill goes to pay for state and federal programs that are implemented locally with little to no funding from the State or other sources. Until the State of New York does something to reform these policies, New York State residents and businesses will continue to suffer. Medicaid is the prin-
cipal source of funding for medical and healthrelated services for people with a limited income in the United States. While Medicaid is a federal program, it is administered by each state individually which has resulted in disparity amongst states as far as the benefits that are offered. The federal government has set limits that determine eligibility as well as limits on the services that need to be provided. Over the past

From the mailbag To the editor: On behalf of Vera House, we would like to express our deepest sympathy to the friends and family of Jenni-Lyn Watson. As twenty-somethings that work with victims and perpetrators of intimate partner and sexual violence on a daily basis, we have found JenniLyn’s homicide particularly troubling. The media coverage describing Jenni-Lyn’s relationship with her ex-boyfriend was an eerie reminder of some of the relationships our friends are currently in. There are people in our lives who consistently minimize abuse as jealousy, anger or even a representation of true love. Abuse is any action that hurts, humiliates, causes fear or forces another person to do something against their will. It has been discouraging to hear that the focus of conversations surrounding this case are about educating young women on how to avoid violent and abusive relationships.

Cicero stifling the public
heads are appointed, town attorneys and engineers are hired, salaries and fees are set, various schedules are adopted and the town supervisor appoints town board committees. For many years, organization meetings were combined with the first town board meeting of the year or held at another time convenient for the public. Why the change? One can only conclude that this administration once again is trying to curb the public. When I served as supervisor, my administration was sometimes criticized because we would impose a time limit at Town Board meetings if the speaker was rambling and repeating points that had already been made. This didn’t occur often and when it did it was usually because there were others waiting to speak. It seems this current town administration is determined to outright stifle the public.
To the editor: An open government and public participation are the cornerstones of our nation. Accessibility at all levels, from Congress to neighborhood associations, is the key component of our 234year-old democracy. I have strongly criticized the Cicero Town Board’s continuing its practice of holding preagenda meetings. Held at times not convenient for public attendance, these pre-agenda meetings allow no public participation and are nothing more than a semi-secret means to conduct town business and squelch public input. Now the current town administration has found another way to snub Cicero’s residents. The Town Board has scheduled its annual organizational meeting for 5 p.m., Friday, January 7, a time when most people are just getting out of work, dealing with rush-hour traffic and are anxious to get home. Organizational meetings are far from routine. Department
Sincerely, Chet Dudzinski Cicero Supervisor 2003-2009

four decades, New York State has increased the services provided and has lowered eligibility levels allowing more people to receive greater benefits from Medicaid. In May, I sponsored resolutions requesting the New York State Legislature and the New York State Governor to eliminate the optional benefits that are provided specifically under New York State’s Medicaid plan. In 2009, the gross cost of the Medicaid program for Onondaga County, including the share paid by the federal and state governments, was $698 million. In New York State, optional benefits and services cost taxpayer’s an additional $12 billion. I feel that we could scale back on the optional services, and still be providing quality care for our under-privileged. I sponsored a second resolution in October asking the New York State Legislature to permanently end new and existing unfunded mandates on local gov-

Admission costs $20 for adults, $15 for ages 11-21, and is free for kids ages 10 and younger. The ticket price includes a buffet dinner and one free beverage.

ernments. Currently, the State Legislature institutes a policy or program, and then forces local governments to administer and fund these programs. This is simply a shift in cost from state to local taxpayers, and it is time for these inefficiencies to end. If the state government wants to implement a program, it should be the State’s responsibility to fund it. Local governments are forced to eliminate programs and services from our budgets that would greatly benefit our local constituents in order to be able to pay for the state mandates. I will continue to fight for my residents in the County Legislature, and
I am eager to be heard on the State level. Major Medicaid reform is the only way we will ever see genuine property tax relief. I implore each resident to join me by reaching out to your state and federal officials. The only way to stop the flagrant spending at the state level is to keep the pressure on our state representatives.

Jenni-Lyn did everything she was supposed to do. She ended the relationship, made plans for her safety and sought out support from her friends and family. She was an innocent victim. Though all of us can benefit from learning about the red flags of abuse, a tragedy like this brings to the forefront the need for a new way of thinking. As a community we need to understand that the only person who could have prevented this from happening was the person who chose to take JenniLyn’s life. For this reason, we need to challenge those who continue to talk about intimate partner violence as a women’s issue. Intimate partner violence is a human issue.
of the Jenni-Lyn tragedy reached all over Central N.Y. and the entire country, she was—and her family are—Liverpool people,” Davie said. Jenni-Lyn was a 2008 graduate of Liverpool High School. What inspired him to help, he said, was the family’s quiet display of “grace under the most horrible circumstances.” “Syracuse Bands Together for Jenni-Lyn” from noon to 7 p.m. on Sunday Jan. 2, on two different stages at Sharkey’s Eclectic Sports Lounge, 7240 Oswego Road (Route 57), with proceeds going to the Jenni-Lyn Watson Dance Scholarship Fund to be managed by Mercyhurst College.

CNS, Liverpool bowlers have mixed results By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@cnylink.com Each of the Cicero-North Syracuse and Liverpool bowling teams wanted to have a strong push in the days leading up to the holiday break. The boys Northstars beat Auburn 2-1 last Monday afternoon. Zach Szumloz shot a 671 series, with a 230 high game, while Eric Liepke added a 235 game and 657 set. It was CNS’s first win of the season. Meanwhile, the CNS girls could not contain Auburn in a 3-0 defeat, as Jena Tafel
led the Northstars with a 200 high game and 521 series. Auburn’s Meghan Feocco had a 242 game and a 612 series. Another split took place on Wednesday, this time against Rome Free Academy. The CNS boys earned another 2-1 win, propelled by Joe Cummings and his 619 series. The girls Northstars lost to the Black Knights by that same 2-1 margin as Tori Loysen (546 series) and Tafel (534 series) had the top efforts. On that same day, Liverpool split with its neighbors from Baldwinsville. The boys Warriors edged past the Bees

2-1, with Rich Boullosa earning a 662 series (235 high game) and Tony Hamlin shooting a 233 high game in his 636 set. B’ville Ryan Zbikowski reached 700. the Liverpool girls lost 3-0 to B’ville, Mary Townley posting a 552 series and 210 high game as the Bees saw Annie Peterson accumulate 608 in her set. Before that, the Liverpool girls also fell 2-1 to Fayetteville-Manlius, this despite Townley putting up the top individual effort. Townley had a three-game total of 639, with a 247 high game.

In a short amount of time, the Cicero-North Syracuse ice hockey team has zoomed ahead of Liverpool in their budding neighborhood rivalry. The Northstars further emphasized this point by taking charge of last Tuesday’s head-to-head encounter at the Twin Rinks, rolling to a 60 victory over the Warriors.
Liverpool, who had lost its first three games of the season, caught a CNS side newly confident after its 6-1 destruction of Hamilton back on Dec. 17. For a period, the Warriors hung in there, keeping it 0-0. All that changed in the second period, though, as CNS scored twice to move in front, then tacked on a full complement of insurance goals in the final period.
Liverpool swimmers beat CNS, 101-85 By Phil Blackwell Twice, the Liverpool boys swim team was set to open its season at home in highprofile meets against big-time opponents. Each time, though, snow
kept the action from starting, so contests against Fayetteville-Manlius on Dec. 8 and Auburn on Dec. 15 got pushed into 2011. However, the Warriors Please see Swimmers, page 9
Brian Hamilton again proved unstoppable, notching a three-goal hat trick and adding a pair of assists. Eric Hamilton found the net twice as Nick Schneid got the other goal. Jake Farabee had three assists and Matt Flume contributed a pair of assists and Nick Hall got an assist, too. In defeat, Liverpool goalie Joe Ciciarelli finished with Please see Hockey, page 10

only managed four points in that span, then had just one field goal the rest of the first quarter as the Brothers bolted to a 15-6 lead. Wleklinski said that his team’s primary defensive task to take away CNS’s perimeter shooting - which it did, as the Northstars managed just two successful 3-pointers, and neither happened until the fourth quarter. Pace was just as important, though - for when CNS started to establish its fastbreak game in the second quarter, the Brothers’ lead vanished, and the Northstars
CNS wrestlers topple RFA By Phil Blackwell
Cicero-North Syracuse’s wrestling team earned a key CNY Counties League victory on the road last Wednesday night, going to Rome Free Academy and beating the Black Knights 45-24. Six times, the Northstars earned pins, including Dan Ciciarelli (112 pounds), Jordan Ramos (119 pounds),

As it turned out, the Cicero-North Syracuse boys basketball team would get a split of its two post-season rematches against foes determined to wrest the Section III Class AA crown from them. Having beaten Utica Proctor on Dec. 17 in the Peppino’s Invitational at Henninger, the Northstars could not repeat that effort last Tuesday night at Christian Brothers Academy, taking a 58-55 loss to the Brothers – the team it beat in last year’s sectional semifinals. CBA’s Greg Thomson fin-
ished with a team-high 19 points, nine of them coming in the fourth quarter as the Brothers withstood all kinds of CNS runs and, just as importantly, made the Northstars work hard for every single point. Any game between CNS and CBA has added purpose because the Northstars’ head coach, John Haas, played under Buddy Wleklinski for the Brothers in the late 1980s, ultimately earning a spot in the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame. For their latest encounter, CBA took a while to get on track, not scoring in the game’s first 3:21. But CNS

Even with a late lead, the Warriors did not wrap up the meet until the 400 freestyle relay, when Phil MacLeod, Carl Tsang, Drew Nann and Nick Hens posted a top time of 4:01.47.

Cut the grass before it is four feet tall,” said Fagan. The product will be available for approximately $19 by the end of this winter.

The name De-Icicler is simple, said Fagan. “You have ‘de-’ which means to take away, and ‘icicle’ is pretty self explanatory. You know what it is and what it does.” The product consists only of the steel head, or blade, which fits on any standard “acme thread” handle that can be purchased seperately, said Fagan. This includes any broom handles or painters polls. The De-Icicler is not made to knock down large, un-

Fagan also noted that the De-Icicler can be used for removal of the ice chunk that forms near the wheels on a car. “In the morning, a lady will come out in her dress shoes on her way to work and try to kick the ice block. What happens? She breaks her shoe, or worse, her toes. This is perfect to avoid that,” he said.

week, the association’s 15 mayors had received a letter from Onondaga County Chief Fiscal Officer James Rowley indicating that their portion of the sales tax revenue must be spent on “infrastructure projects” that had to be personally approved by County Executive Joanie Mahoney At the Nov. 17 meeting, White s aid, count y officials told the mayors that “they intended no roadblocks.” Further negotiations with Rowley resulted in a revised agreement which will allow villages to spend the money on infrastructure maintenance, repairs and public-works projects. The village will still have to apply for the money, White said, “but now they’ve opened up the scope of the grant application to cover things like DPW operations. They said, ‘Yes, that’s absolutely acceptable.’” While the trustees see the revised agreement as a positive development, they still have to tighten

White urged residents to attend a pre-budget session at 7 p.m. on Monday Jan. 31, at the Village Hall, 310 Sycamore St. “This is a chance for the public to learn more about how the sales tax situation will affect us,” White said. The mayor and trustees also hope to hear which services villagers consider most essential. The budget shortfall means the village faces “some very hard choices,” s a i d Tr u s t e e N i c k Kochan White, Kochan and Vi l l age C lerk Mar y Ellen Sims recently met with Travis Glazier, the county’s new director of government relations. “We gave him a lot to take back to the county executive,” White said.

23 saves. The Warriors had a fair amount of chances to get on the board – but CNS goalie Zach Hall turned them all away, earning 23 saves. Still at home Thursday night,
CNS met Solvay and earned a 3-3 tie with the Bearcats, unable to hold a 2-1 lead through two periods. Finally, Brian Hamilton cooled off, managing just a single assist. But Eric Hamilton made up for it
with two goals and one assist as Flume landed the other goal. Farabee picked up a pair of assists, with Hall needing 32 saves to keep Solvay from going in front. The Northstars, off to its best
start (2-1-1) in the program’s brief history, meet Central Square and Auburn this week, while Liverpool competes on its home ice at State Fair Coliseum in the annual King of the Coliseum Tournament.

“The older, 13- to 16year-old kids are hard to shop for, they don’t want stuffed animals and matchbox cars,” said Meitus. The movie tickets, provided in pairs, were available for the second year at the Christmas Bureau event, held Wednesday Dec. 22 at the OnCenter. To donate to the Salvation Army of the Syracuse Area, visit salvationarmy. org, mail a check to The Salvation Army of the Syracuse Area, 677 S. Salina St., Syracuse, NY, 13202 or call 479-1337. Or drop your donation in one of the iconic Red Kettle Drive bell ringer’s kettles throughout the county during the next holiday season.
Rescue Mission
Best known for providing hot meals to those in need, the Rescue Mission also offers emergency shelter and long-term housing, clothing for all ages and employment resources in the Syracuse area, among other programs. “A $25 donation to the Rescue Mission would provide about 12 meals in our dining facility or one night of emergency shelter,” said Paul LaDolce, communications director of the Syracuse and CNY Rescue Mission. When it comes to feeding the hungry, every penny truly counts: LaDolce said in November of this year, the Rescue Mission served
5,219 more meals than in November 2009, with a 17 percent increase in women and children taking advantage of the Rescue Mission’s hot meals. “Our services are increasing in a very difficult economy that is also impacting the people who support us,” LaDolce added. To donate to the Rescue Mission of Syracuse and Central New York, visit rmsyr.org, call 472-6251 or mail checks to Rescue Mission, Dept. IN99, P.O. Box 11122, Syracuse, NY, 13218.
Vera House
In it’s mission to end domestic and sexual abuse,
Vera House provides a variety of resources including emergency shelter at confidential locations for women and children as well as men, rape crisis and sexual assault services, advocacy programs, and youth and community counseling and education programs. Though donations help support all Vera House programs, Director of Communications and Special Events Chris Benton said a $25 donation, for example, would provide one hour of therapeutic counseling for an individual in crisis, at no cost to the client. To donate to Vera House visit verahouse.org, or send a check to 6181 Thompson Road, Suite 100, Syracuse,
NY, 13206.
Food Bank of CNY
As if proof was needed of an increasing need, the Food Bank of Central New York recently transitioned to a new, larger warehouse space in Baldwinsville. “We now distribute more than 11 million meals annually,” said Ania Stilwell, public relations and marketing coordinator. Stilwell said every one dollar donated creates two and a half meals, which are provided to soup kitchens, emergency shelters and food pantries throughout the 11county coverage area. “Twenty-five dollars would go a long way,” Stilwell said.

Meals on Wheels of Syracuse
Meals on Wheels can stretch a $25 donation over 17 meals, said Katherine Lowe, community relations director of Meals on Wheels of Syracuse. Each meal costs $10.25, said Lowe, and while most of that cost is covered by government and other funding sources, there is still a $1.50 shortfall per meal. “So for us, $25 equals 17 meals,” she said. Lowe said the local Meals on Wheels branch serves around 728 clients, or about 200,000 meals each year.

Onondaga Historical Association
While it may not relay the same sense of urgency as providing food or shelter for the needy, the Onondaga Historical Association is responsible for preserving the history of Onondaga County -- no small task, and not an inexpensive one, either. Lynn Fallon, OHA development director, said a flat-out donation of $25, or any amount, normally goes to the group’s year-end appeal. By becoming a member, available at different levels from $25 to $1,000 annually, donors can receive a discount at the museum store, access to the OHA research center, newsletters, discounts and early notifications for events and programs in return for helping support the OHA. Fallon said the OHA recently unveiled an additional way to donate: new artifact adoption program. Six of the OHA’s most recognizable artifacts -- the Heaphy’s Tin Man and HARP, among them -- are now available for “adoption.” A donation made in this form earns donors a certificate and description of the artifact, and the money goes toward preserving the museum’s collection. To donate to the OHA or become a member, visit cnyhistory.org or call 4281864 ext. 314.

during January. January 28th and January 31st from 8:00 am until 6:00 pm. February and March hours will be 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, excepting legal holidays.

Return of unpaid taxes is made by the Receiver of Taxes to the Commissioner of Finance on April 1, 2011. SHARON M. EDICK Receiver of Taxes and Assessments Town of Cicero Dated: December 27, 2011 SR-1 CICERO TAX OFFICE EXTENDS HOURS FOR TOWN & COUNTY TAXES Sharon M. Edick, Receiver of Taxes for the Town of Cicero, would like to remind Cicero taxpayers that the tax collection hours have been extended for January, 2011. The office opens at 8:00 am each day and closes at 4:30 pm. On January 28th and January 31st, the office will remain open until 6:00 pm. Online tax payments The Receiver of Taxes would like to clarify something in regard to online payment of your taxes. If you are going to be paying the Town and County taxes on line, you need to know that many of those payments are NOT done instantly. That company cuts a check payable to the Receiver of Taxes and MAILS it to the tax office. There is no direct deposit of these payments, it still happens the old fashioned way—by Mail. These payment envelopes DO NOT get a US Postal Service postmark, therefore many arrive at the Tax Office after the due date and we have to return them to the property owners and request the penalty. This makes for some VERY unhappy taxpayers. You should contact your Bank and verify their policy and time structure for such payments. We do not want you to be uniformed.
