Hundreds gather to pay last respects to Jenni-Lyn Watson By Miranda L. Pennock mpennock@cnylink.com
Rain fell from the sky like tears from the clouds hovering above St. Margaret’s Church Wednesday Dec. 1 as family and friends of Jenni-Lyn Watson, 20, of Liverpool, gathered to pay their final respects. At some point during the nearly two-hour-long service to celebrate JenniLyn’s life, that rain turned to snow — and blanketed the area in a white as bright as the bed her body laid in. Father Francis Pompei said during the homily that he didn’t know Jenni-Lyn and it was only a week before when he met her family, just five days after the Mercyhurst dance major disappeared. “What do we have in common from this past week and a half?” Pompei said. “You and I have ex-

Community embraces Ophelia’s Place mission
Local café celebrates successful first year in combating eating disorders By Matthew Liptak Contributor The Café at 407 in Liverpool just celebrated a successful first year of business by offering a week-long lineup of musical acts free to the public. The café, on Tulip Street in the village, is part of Ophelia’s Place, a nonprofit organization formed to help combat eating disorders. “It came up that that
would be a great way for us to give back to the community for how they supported us the past year,” said café manager Sarah Wood. “It’s only because of the community that we’ve been as successful as we have, allowing us to keep our doors open and continue to offer our support services. We just wanted to say thank you to the community by offering this week-long celebration in music as our gift to them. There’s no charge
for a cover fee. There’s no expectation at all. It’s just our free gift.” The celebration was sponsored by Dot Foods and included performances by soul singer Joe Whiting, jazz vocalist Ronnie Leigh, Mario and Maria DeSantis, Bob Halligan Jr., the band Oregon Trail and the Christopher Ames Band.

Towns in dog license business
Change in state regs puts responsibility on local shoulders By Miranda L. Pennock mpennock@cnylink.com A change in rules and regulations at the state level has left towns in a position to take over dog licensing functions. Recently, the towns of Cicero and Clay held public hearings on the matter to amend the local laws they had on the books to include licensing and all that goes with it — setting fees, sending out notices, providing tags and purchasing or updating software programs — as a town responsibility. “We have to provide the software [and] buy the tags,” Clay Supervisor Damian Ulatowski said. “You [the state] can’t keep asking us to do more.” Please see Dogs, page 3

Community News Benefit Dec. 11 for Keyes family
Welcome home, Poon family!
At the young age of 42, Patrick Keyes, of Cicero, passed away while playing hockey on Sept. 21. He left behind a wife and two sons. The community is invited to gather at 5 p.m. Dec. 11 at Hotch’s Bar on Route 11 next to Target in Cicero for a benefit for the Keyes family to help them offset living expenses since Patrick’s death. The benefit will include music, food and raffles. Tickets are $20 or $50 for a family of four. Call 6992345 to purchase. There will also be a hockey tournament during the day at Cicero Twin Rinks. Teams can participate for $300. If interested in forming a team, call Scott Hinman at 430-3031 for additional details. Correction/clarification
In a recent article, it was stated Cicero Town Councilor Jim Corl was opposed to restoring funding for William Beach, which was inaccurate. Corl voted against the town budget due to the 5 percent tax increase contained within the budget, not against restoring funding for the beach. Corl said his proposal for the town budget could have maintained a 0 percent tax increase while continuing funding the beach program by leasing major purchases by the town next year. However, the board opted not to do so. The 2011 town budget will be the largest tax increase in the town in six years and will generate an additional $260,000 in revenue for the town.

LPL accepting passport applications Liverpool Public Library now accepts passport applications on behalf of the U.S. Department of State. U.S. citizens planning international travel may apply for their passports from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Appointments are required and may be made by calling 457-0310, ext. 102. “We are delighted to be the first library in the Syracuse area to become a passport acceptance facility,” said LPL Executive Director Jean Armour Polly. “This new service not only offers a con-
venient and time-saving option for people applying for a passport, but the acceptance fee collected goes directly to support the library.” The certified passport agents in the library are authorized to distribute forms, accept completed paperwork, review required documentation and forward applications to the U.S. regional passport agency. For application forms, information on documentation required, fees and a wealth of other passport and international travel information, visit the official website for passport information travel.state.gov.
Origami cranes for the holidays Liverpool Public Library is holding a free workshop at 6:30 p.m. Thursday Dec. 16 in the Carmen Community Room to teach people how to fold an origami paper crane. Origami cranes make a
wonderful handmade present , or a lovely ornament for your Christmas tree. Because the crane is a 16-step process, it is best suited for adults and kids 12 years and older. This program is free and open to the public.
Cosilmon said. While the clerk’s office was not in favor of raising the fee, a majority of the Cicero board was. “If you raise the fee, it may discourage people from registering their dogs,” Cicero Councilor Jim Corl said. Corl voted no as he was not in favor of the increase. Supervisor Judy Boyke and councilors Lynn Jennings and Vernon Conway voted in favor. Jessica Zambrano was absent. The fees will be $10 for spayed or neutered, $18 for those not spayed or neutered. Senior citisens will pay $5 for spayed and neutered dogs, and $13 for those not spayed or neutered. Despite licensing becoming a town responsi-
bility, the state is keeping its fingers in the cookie jar and will continue charging $1 for each spayed or neutered dog and $3 for those who are not fixed. Those monies will be set up in an animal population control account through the state. “I think it’s crazy for us to get involved in another bureaucracy,” said Clay Town Councilor Robert Edick. Currently, the state sends out the bills for licensing and also has a statewide database, which it will no longer have once dog licensing becomes a town responsibility. The town of Clay has approximately 5,000 dogs, Hageman-Clark said. “We’re working with the state and other towns for continuity,” she said.
From page 1
According to Clay Town Clerk Jill Hageman-Clark, her office has worked hard to make sure they have a smooth transition when the time comes. Office staff has already begun using the software so they are familiar with it and ready to roll when licensing is solely on the town’s shoulders. “The clerk’s department is one of the busiest departments in the town,” Ulatowski said. “I’m not sure how much extra work it will be.” The board approved the change of law and set the fees — $4 for a spayed or neutered dog and $12 for unspayed or unneutered. The fees are “going up minimally,” HagemanClark said, but Clay will still have the lowest fees in

MySpace page suggests prelude to passion killing Her friends called her Jenn-ay, she said, “like in ‘Forest Gump.’” Unlike the movie Jennay, however, there was no birth of a bouncing baby boy for Jenni-Lyn Watson, no marriage to a humble hero. But like her namesake film character, JenniLyn would die young. What had appeared to be an idyllic romance between 20-year-old JenniLynn and 21-year-old Steven Pieper apparently devolved into a homicidal rage that left the girl dead and the guy charged with her murder. The lovely and talented ballerina was murdered Nov. 19. Her body was found eight days later in a weedy marsh near Clay Central Park, halfway between the couple’s family homes. Sheriff ’s investigators and District Attorney Bill Fitzpatrick say Jenni-Lyn broke up with Pieper in early-October after an 18month-long relationship during which the young man bought the young woman a ring. Messages posted by Pieper on Watson’s MySpace page, however, paint a picture of a seesaw relationship that left him jealous, rejected and angry. Escalating anger
Initially, his anger was joking in nature, as in this line posted in November 2009 while Watson studied dance at Mercyhurst College in Erie, Pa.: “u better keep in touch or ill
come to pa nd kick ur ass,” Pieper wrote. By February, though, the young man’s anger had turned serious and sarcastic: “i miss u, stop by my house soon,” he implored, soon followed by the annoyed observation, “so your home nd ur ass dont even call me :p.” In other postings, Pieper actually sounds resigned to the end of the romance: “babe the summer is almost ovr nd ur ganna leave me just wanted to say thanks for everything we have had some pretty interesting times (…lol we kicked ass at beer pong even though we had like a million tacos before that) we have been through a lot together and im sad to see you go but i know ur goin to pursue ur dreams ur ganna be famous one day i know it, and were still ganna hang out when u come back to visit cuz no matter what i still live down the street :p love you.” Sometime around April 2010, Jenn-ay posted a brief comment about dating: “Boys give me headaches,” she wrote. ‘back off’ Pieper was jealous of Jenni-Lyn’s apparent college suitors. After a message in which a young man told her, “you’re beautiful,” Pieper sternly warned: “Guy below me shes mine
nd she knows she gorgeous so back off.” Overall, Pieper’s ungrammatical pleas exude self-pity: “uuhhh…seriously my life went from happy to sad in like [.]3795734895734856 sec. i dnt even kno y i try ne
more.” And: “so this chick right here jenni-lyn marie watson is my bestfriend nd i love her nd i dnt want her to leave me i hope the rest of the school yr goes by really slow even tho i hate school so…much but i really dnt wanna c her go.” But now she’s gone forever… Revealing photos The murdered girl’s MySpace page also contained dozens of revealing
photos, including more than two dozen images of Steven Pieper. Most of those show him holding or kissing her. In a few, he’s petting one of two puppies and smiling broadly. In one picture Pieper and Jenni-Lyn can be seen nearly head-to-toe facing the camera. As he stands behind her and hugs her tightly with both arms, he towers over his petite girlfriend making it abundantly clear how much bigger and stronger Pieper is. Jenni’s fingers curl
around his left forearm, and the little gemstone he gave her sparkles on the ring finger of her left hand. Another shot is particularly haunting. It’s just the two of them walking down a shoveled sidewalk on a snowy evening. Their backs are to the camera as they stroll silently away together into the darkness. The Jenni-Lynn Watson page can be found at myspace.com/hotdancebabe313.
Where’s the logic in eligibility? To its credit, the media in general has caught on to the strategy of the New York State Education Department that continues to issue blanket news releases proclaiming that schools are in need of improvement due to either poor math or English language arts scores without having the courtesy to identify the particular subgroups experiencing difficulties on the state assessments. A few weeks ago, after receiving the typical blanket new release from the State Education Department relative to a small North Syracuse Junior High School subgroup, two reporters called me to determine the identity of
the subgroup. To counter this unfair indictment of an entire school being classified as a School in Need of Improvement, I continue to include the category “students with disability” immediately after the state designation “English Language Arts,” so as to set the record straight. Sad to say, I have no idea when Congress will act on the reauthorization of the No Child Left Behind Law, which continues to fascinate me with the amount of federal money and attention allocated to a very small number of students in our schools. I continue to be amazed that we must allocate
up to 20 percent of our entire Title I allocation, $380,000, for after school tutoring through outside agencies due to test results of approximately 60 students with disabilities on the State English language arts tests. Likewise, up to 20 percent of the Title I Stimulus Fund money is also allocated for after school tutoring to outside agencies. The result of all this is the lack of money for important programs for a much larger group of
students. But here is the real contradiction: some of the very disabled students who need help will not be able to receive after school tutoring. That’s right — students with disabilities who don’t qualify for free and reduced lunch are ineligible. Thus, a student on free and reduced lunch with a high test score qualifies for after school tutoring while a youngster with a disability, but not on free and reduced lunch, is ineligible. Is this logical? Hopefully, saner heads will prevail when Congress finally gets around to evaluating and reauthorizing No Child Left Behind.

Opinion “Brother can you spare a dime?” Some of our most senior of seniors can remember this plea. It characterized the generation that lived in the wake of the Great Crash of 1929.

Public education: A time without precedence
Star-Review, Dec. 8, 2010 From page 5
The down falling of the World Trade Centers started a chain-reaction that went to the very heart of the nation’s (and world’s) economic infrastructure. Fiscal systems that were based on speculation, smoke and mirrors and no small measure of avarice trembled and soon collapsed. American schools, with their self-fulfilling rationale for ever-increasing budgets, shook in the economic tornado. Taxpayer revolts across the country declared school costs as their nemesis right along with pork barrel spending, legislative corruption and governmental empire building. The days of open-check school budgets slammed shut with loud reverberations. No longer would the American public fork out its cash with no fiscal prudence or regard for academic return on investment. This is a time without precedence in public education. Foreign nations are (allegedly) zooming ahead of America in their mass educational pursuits. Taxpayers have reached their limits with waste and corruption. Too many times have people experienced a glib promise of “trust me, it’s for a good cause.” The blind trust is gone, no more lemming
leaps and no more golden gifts. If people are going to support public education, it is going to be on their terms — their tax dollars must be used with responsibility and an eye on quality output. Few would argue that the future of the American nation is symbiotically related to high quality public education. But the current economic maelstrom has provided a reminder to a nation that there is a new day of reckoning for fiscal capriciousness. Righteous questions about how public education is funded have been posed. Public education, once implicitly trusted with the public’s dollars, must now justify its revenues and consistently demonstrate a quality yield from them. Folks are rapidly coming to the obvious conclusion that the “public good” (1) costs money, (2) is easily perverted for personal gain and (3) requires the taxpayer to protect their hard-earned cash by staying informed and developing methods to smell out a scam. In my next few articles I will offer some suggestions that one may want to consider when determining a position on school finance questions.

Students excel in spelling Thir ty-six students from North Syracuse Junior High School, Roxboro Road Middle School and Gillette Road Middle School gathered Tuesday Nov. 30 at the North Syracuse Central School District Administrative Office building to compete in a district-wide spelling bee. The talented youth from grades five through eight were challenged with a variety of words ranging from simple spellings such as “cavity” to more difficult spellings such as “seismologist.” All students came to the competition after completing written and oral exams within their schools. The competition ended with the correct spellings of the words “innermost” and “skillet” by Ashley Bodnar from Roxboro Road Middle School. Finishing in second place
was Mallory Eymer and in third was Rachel Allen, both also from Roxboro Road Middle School. The top six competitors (all from Roxboro Road Middle School) from the North Syracuse Central School District spelling
bee will advance to The Po s t - S t an d ard / WC N Y 2011 Spelling Bee at Christian Brothers Academy on Saturday Jan. 22. Those finalists are: 1. Ashley Bodnar, seventh grade 2. Mallory Eymer, sev-

North Syracuse Connect is an opt-in e-mail and text messaging alert system through which parents, residents, staff and community members can provide an e-mail address and/or cell
phone number and select the types of messages they would like to receive. There is no charge for the service and users can unsubscribe at any time. When the school district makes a decision to close or delay school or to dismiss early, North Syracuse Connect subscribers will be notified through the system. Those wishing to subscribe to the service should sign up at nscsd.org and click on “Click Here to Register for E-News.” From there, users will be prompted to enter their preferred

In addition to notifying the community through North Syracuse Connect, the district will continue to contact local television and radio stations to broadcast
closing, delay and early dismissal information. Parents and guardians are reminded to make sure an emergency contact form is on file at their children’s school and to be sure that children know where to go in the case of a closing, delay or early dismissal.

From the mailbag To the editor: Dear Cicero Stakeholders, Who is the Cicero Police Department? It appears some believe it would be better to abolish the Cicero Police Department and leave our community with significantly reduced public safety protection. I have served this community for more than 38 years as a law enforcement executive with the Onondaga County Sheriff ’s Office and as your chief of police. For the past 15 years I am proud to say that I have been a resident and your chief of police. The greatest honor I have is serving with some of the finest law enforcement professionals I have ever met. The men and women of the Cicero Police Department work everyday to protect and serve all residents of Cicero. The Cicero Police Department provides a level of community policing second to none. From waking up residents early in the morning alerting them their car lights are on to dealing with domestic violence and crimes in progress, the men and women of the department are committed to your safety and quality of life. As a resident or visitor you have direct access to your police department. Police departments across the New York State have approached us to learn of our community service programs. This department is built on the foundation of community service and community ownership. We are inherently knowledgeable of our community; we do not just respond to problems, we solve them. Although this issue may be intended to break this department it has solidified our efforts and strengthens our commitment to you. Let me explain the enhanced services you will be losing: ■ Over 11,000 calls for service with rapid response time ■ Over 600 arrests a year ■ 24/7 neighborhood patrols ■ Men and women knowledgeable of your community and dedicated to your safety and quality of life ■ Aggressive and responsive traffic enforcement that averages 3,000 traffic stops annually ■ Proactive problem solving policing that addresses community problems and quality of life issues ■ Community policing that focuses on community involvement and a personal relationship with you (Neighborhood Watch, E-Policing, community meetings, personal access to your police chief)
WEIGHT GAIN STRESSES NEW AND OLD KNEES Conventional wisdom holds that kneereplacement surgery removes a significant barrier to exercising regularly, but recent research undermines this notion. A study of 106 knee-replacement patients shows that, two years after their procedures, two-thirds of the group had put on an average 12 pounds. (The remaining third lost an average of four pounds.) Moreover, the knee-replacement patients who gained weight also displayed weakened quadriceps (thigh) muscles. Increased body weight and weakened quadriceps muscles place added stress on both newly replaced and non-operated knees. To avoid the likelihood of having the other knee replaced, knee-replacement patients are strongly urged to follow their rehabilitation and exercise programs. Being sedentary and overweight

Would-be Scrooges may do well to check out the newly released “A Christmas Carol,” featuring Jim Carrey, Jim Carrey, Jim Carrey and Jim Carrey. For cynics, “Holidays on Ice” (1997) by David Sedaris is practically a classic, and for those who can’t handle a whole book of Sedaris (Dinah, The Christmas Whore, anyone?) the new anniversary disc set “NPR: The First 40 Years” (2010) includes that career-launching broadcast of Sedaris’s “SantaLand Diaries.” There’s no fee for this

ing disorders, but for many the struggle goes on. “Unfortunately it’s a hugely-prevalent problem,” Wood said. “We just find the statistics growing and I really don’t think the statistics represent the actual problem. There’s so many people struggling, even if they’re not diagnosed with an eating disorder, with poor self-esteem, low body image, all of which are contributing factors to an eating disorder down the road. We just want to promote a message of health and wellness, self-acceptance and embracing each other for who we are not for what our bodies are.” The popularity of the café has allowed those running it to increase its hours of operation and even hire
new staff over the past year, but the business has no grand ambitions to expand just yet. “This is probably good for now,” Wood said. “Obviously we’re looking to just continue doing what we’re doing.” What they’re doing has struck a chord with Liverpool residents, both in offering a café alternative to the selection of eateries in the community and by allowing patrons to support a good cause by visiting the business. “We have been so pleased with the result,” Wood said. “The community really seems to have just embraced who we are and our mission and gotten behind our work. It’s been pretty neat to see.”

also raises the risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular problems. Knee replacement surgery is very successful, but the success of the procedure is partly due to the rehabilitation period that follows the surgery. Rehabilitation after knee replacement begins immediately. The emphasis in the early stages of rehab is to maintain motion of the knee replacement and to ensure that the patient can walk safely. If you or a family member needs physical therapy, please call our clinic at 315-476-3176 to schedule an appointment. We are proud to offer highly trained and experienced professionals to serve you. Our office is located at 207 Pine in Syracuse. Happy Holidays! P.S. If knee-replacement patients experience discomfort while exercising, they can try swimming, water aerobics, or upper-body exercises to get needed aerobic exercise.

North Syracuse Baptist Church will present its Christmas musical pageant, “A Baby Changes Everything,� Dec. 10 to 12 at the Worship Center in North Syracuse. Since the pageant’s inception in 1993, more than 50,000 Syracuse area residents have attended one of the performances and it has become one of the area’s most popular Christmas activities for people to enjoy. “The pageant represents the church’s ongoing commitment to provide a Christmas gift to the community and this year’s story brings the perennial Christmas event into
a bold focus,� said Senior Pastor Dr. George Miller III. The annual show is brimming with well-crafted dialogue, dynamic characters, thrilling songs and a timeless message that tells the story of three individuals in the tiny village of Bethlehem who awaken on Christmas night in time to experience the life-changing miracle in a manger. The performance features a spectacular arrangement of the title song, “A Baby Changes Everything,� made popular by Faith Hill and the famous song “While You Were Sleeping� by Casting Crowns.

cal arrangements come from the bandbooks of Civil War era bands, or are arranged from the original Civil War era sheet music. The band’s uniforms authentically represent those of a typical early-war New York State Militia band. The musicians of the Excelsior Cornet Band
are professional performers with many years of experience in a wide variety of musical genres. They are: Jeff Stockham, E-flat cornet and keyed bugle; Lee Turner, E-flat cornet; David Driesen, B-flat cornet; Dickson Rothwell, E-flat alto horn; Jim Spencer, B-flat tenor

Jenni-Lyn
Achievements fear and despair and doubt, Jenni-Lyn’s family was able to take a baby step toward focusing and trusting in the Lord. “I watched you take that baby step,� Pompei said to the family. “I’ve watched the Lord bless you.� Applause was offered for those who led the charge, like Kelly Kinahan and her sister Stacey, as they got the word out about Jenni-Lyn’s disappearance, as flyers were made and the nation began checking faces wondering where the young woman was. Applause was offered for those who aided in creating websites and those who tweeted about the missing girl and sent the message that she was missing viral via Facebook and YouTube.
“God was in everyone who searched,� Pompei said. When death and fear renders us powerless, faith must take a stand. “Where’s your power now? You wounded us deeply, but we’re still here. Jenni-Lyn still lives because of our God who gives life,� he said. “God and JenniLyn have gathered us here and, in love, they can renew us and restore us.� While he did not know her, Pompei said he’s been talking to Jenni-Lyn and asked for her to “let us see your face� and always make us aware of her. “Jenni-Lyn, I didn’t know you. I didn’t know you, sweetheart,� he said. “Thank you, Jenni-Lyn, thank you ... for all you’ve given me this last week.�

Jenni-Lyn’s mother, Jackie, signed her daughter’s name into the church’s Book of Life. Father Robert Hyde said he was praying for JenniLyn, and for peace. During a final commendation, he read the invitation to prayer: “Trusting in God, we have prayed together for Jenni-Lyn and now we come to the last farewell. There is sadness in parting, but we take comfort in the hope that one day we shall see Jenni-Lyn again and enjoy her friendship. Although this congregation will disperse in sorrow, the mercy of God will gather us together again in the joy of his kingdom,� he said. “Therefore let us console one another in the faith of Jesus Christ.�

Last chance for tax credit Federal program expires Dec. 31; energy savings won’t Procrastinators, beware. The federal energy tax credit that allows homeowners to qualify for up to $1,500 in tax credit savings when replacing old windows expires on Dec. 31, 2010. However, the day-to-day savings you get from replacing older windows will last for years to come. “Adding energy-efficient replacement windows to a home immediately helps lower everyday energy bills and increases a home’s long-term value and comfort,” saID Tom Kraeutler, host of the national home improvement radio show, “The Money Pit.” “There simply is no better time to take advantage of the government’s incentives to replace your worn-out windows.” Kraeutler notes that fast-acting homeowners can also receive up to $150 toward preparation of their 2010 personal income tax return with H&R Block when they purchase 12 or more qualifying energy-efficient Simonton windows before the end of 2010. “Homeowners can reduce their energy bills, qualify for up to $1,500 in federal energy tax credit with the company’s Energy Tax Credit (ETC) glass packages and get up to $150 toward tax preparation fees when making the decision to invest now in qualifying replacement windows,” said Kraeutler. “Those are three really good reasons to get this project done now.”

Winter might be a wonderland to some, but for those who prefer a warm, sandy beach over a ski slope, winter is no walk in the park. It’s even worse when a winter storm hits and suddenly everything goes dark. Power outages are impossible to predict. When a power outage occurs, it can last anywhere from a few minutes to several days. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers the following guidelines for making it through a power outage safe and sound.

When to replace windows A former professional contractor, Kraeutler offers weekly advice to homeowners nationwide on home improvement projects. Deciding when to replace windows is a key topic covered on his show. “Products in the home have a distinct lifespan,” said Kraeutler. “After 10 years, windows should be monitored yearly to ensure their performance is holding up. “When a window stops operating correctly, then it’s time to invest in new windows. Vinyl windows and doors specified with a LoE glass package are a viable ‘green’ option offering several distinct advantages.

Seneca Federal is not an average mortgage originator in part, to decide where to price our mortgage rates,” said Tammy Purcell, VP–lending. “We also respond quickly to pre-qualification requests and pride ourselves as local underwriters with timely commitments.” Seneca Federal has never used credit scores as a basis for loan approval but rather base loan commitment on actual consumer credit history. This ‘traditional’ and time-tested practice has worked well for the Association, which has a foreclosure rate near zero percent. “A low foreclosure rate sometimes leads people to ask me if we are risky enough with such a low default rate,” said the president, adding that the low default rate has more to do with the rapport they have made with their customers during the underwriting process and less to do with not taking risk. “Our loans are often tailor-made to our customer’s specific needs and we build a rapport with them from the beginning, indicating that we are on the ‘same side’. We are very thankful when a customer is willing to approach us when they are having difficulty and

two hours. When cooking, use a food thermometer to check the temperature of food before cooking and eating. Any food with a temperature greater than 40 F should be discarded.
Water The water supply might also be affected during a power outage. It’s always a good idea to keep bottled water on hand in the event of a power outage to avoid consuming any contaminated water, which might be a byproduct of water purification systems not fully functioning because of the power outage. Avoid using potentially contaminated water when doing the dishes, brushing your teeth or preparing food. For parents of young children, it helps to have formula on hand that does not require the addition of water. If tap water must be used, bring the water to a rolling boil for at least one minute. That’s enough time to kill most organisms, including harmful bacteria and parasites. Hypothermia prevention While most regions are quick to
restore power, especially harsh storms might make it difficult to restore power right away. An extended power outage could cause chronic hypothermia, which occurs from ongoing exposure to cold indoor temperatures (below 60 F). The elderly are especially susceptible to chronic hypothermia during a power outage, but there are steps everyone can take to stay safe. Family members with elderly relatives who live alone should make every effort to contact those relatives and ensure everything is alright. Make sure the elderly or the ill have adequate food, clothing, shelter, and sources of heat. If necessary, insist elderly or ill friends and family stay over until the power comes back on. In poorly heated rooms, be sure there are enough blankets for everyone. And wear layers of clothing as well as a hat, even when indoors. It also helps to stay as active as possible, as physical activity raises body temperature. For more information on safely making it through a power outage, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at cdc.gov.
before the loan is in default and we are able to work with finding a solution to get them through a rough time such as a job loss,” added Purcell. At Seneca Federal you always have the ability to speak directly with experienced loan underwriters who assist you in your mortgage loan application process from start to finish, including servicing throughout the loan. The lending team is carrying on with the philosophy of individualized lending that community banks thrive on. “We are imbedded in our communities and want to offer competitive mortgage, consumer and commercial loan rates for the benefit of our customers,” said Purcell. “We aren’t a ‘cookie cutter’ secondary mortgage market lender. We understand the needs of our communities and want to provide a competitive product.” The mortgage servicing is always retained by us so our customers are assured they will work with us for the life of the loan. One example of a loan that is often tailor-made to a customer’s needs is the construction to permanent financing mortgage loan with one loan closing and a rate that is determined at commitment, before the construction phase. This loan is popular since the rate can’t change when it ‘converts’ to permanent financing later and closing costs are only paid once, upon commitment. The risk of a higher rate later after the house is constructed is removed. Another such tailor-made

“Seneca Federal Savings and Loan Association is not an average mortgage originator but it IS an average community bank,” said Katrina Russo, presidentCEO of Seneca Federal Savings and Loan Association. Sound community bank mortgage lending practices are not the source of problems that have turned the economy on its ear. Rather, the “big” banks who took part in the sub-prime lending with less than qualified applicants is what has contributed to the downturn of the economy. “It’s not all about making a quick buck,” said Russo. “Mainstream America has to start thinking beyond the all mighty buck and remember what is really at the heart of this nation, which I believe is what all communities bank’s thinking boils down to. The dream of homeownership is a dream we help make happen and it can be done in a conservative manner and still render positive results to many.” Seneca Federal is proud to provide traditional, local home town lending with competitively priced mortgage rates. “We look to competitors daily,
