N. Syracuse DPW wins full work zone package

Village of North Syracuse Department of Public Works (DPW) was recently announced as one of the winners in the 2023 Work Zone Equipment Package Competition. This award is funded by a grant from the New York State Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee. Work Zone Safety Equipment is awarded to agencies who are in need of replacement equipment due to unforeseen circumstances.

The equipment includes cones, safety vests, work zone signs, and stop-slow paddles for setting up a proper work zone. These materials help keep our highway and DPW crews safe when working out on the road.

“We know that many agencies have difficulty getting work zone equipment, especially when it’s stolen or damaged due to circumstances beyond their control. Good work zone signs protect the workers, improve communication with the public, and make the work more efficient by allowing it to be done faster,” said NYS LTAP Center –Cornell Local Roads Program Director, David Orr PE

The NYSLTAP-CLRP Work Zone Equipment Competition is for NYS highway and public works departments that have lost, damaged, or are in need of work zone equipment. This year’s grant, from the Governor’s Traffic Safety Commit- tee, allows the NYSLTAP-CLRP to purchase 218 work zone packages containing vests, hard hats, whistles, stop-slow paddles, roll up signs, sign stands, and cones. Each work zone package comes to just over $1,900. Five additional agencies will obtain a set of safety vests, stop-slow paddles and whistles for their flaggers.

The NYS LTAP Center – Cornell Local Roads Program provides technical assistance and training to highway and public works departments across New York State. Additional information can be found at nysltap.clrp.cornell.edu or by contacting NYSLTAP-CLRP at 607255-8033 or clrp@ cornell.edu.

Liverpool music production students to give back

Liverpool Central School District Music

Production students have teamed up with Perform 4

Purpose to give back to the Central New York community.

The students will host a concert on Tuesday, June 13, from 6 to 7 p.m., to benefit Griffin’s Guardians. It will take place on the front lawn of Chestnut Hill Middle (204 Saslon Park Drive). Please bring a lawn chair or blanket for seating.

Griffin’s Guardians is a local non-profit that spreads awareness of pediatric cancer, assists in funding research for pediatric cancer, brings HOPE to families with children battling cancer in CNY, and provides these families with financial assistance to lessen the burden during a time when they need to focus on family. Those unable to attend the concert can donate by visiting the Perform 4 Purpose Web site at www.perform4purpose.org.

As part of the Music Production elective, Liverpool CSD students explore the ways in which professional musicians, sound technicians, producers, and other roles function in the creation of commercial music. Students explore a variety of instruments they may not have learned in school (such as guitar, piano and drums), electronic music creation (creating loops, backing tracks or film scores), and sound recording technology. Through hands-on learning students are gaining experience in what it is like to be part of the commercial music industry (as a performer, background musician, mixer or recording technologist).

Perform 4 Purpose (P4P) provides local youth opportunities to learn, create, and perform music, as well as teaches the importance of helping others and giving back to the community by performing live music events for local charities.

Photography exhibit and reception held at Salina Library

By JAnET MyRTo RIChARdS

Ray Trudell journeys around Central New York with his camera, documenting pure moments in time. He began with a simple Kodak Instamatic, moved into 35 mm, and eventually landed on digital photography, believing that photography is more about the eye than the camera. Trudell’s photographs reflect this time and place and bring out the things that, often, go unnoticed in our daily lives.

On Monday, June 12, from

7 until 8 p.m., Ray Trudell will be at Salina Library for an art reception. Come and speak with him about his vision of our world while viewing the pieces on display. His exhibit will be up throughout the month of June. Visit salinalibrary.org for more information or to see the calendar for upcoming kits and classes. Call 315454-4524 with any questions. Salina Library is open Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Fridays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., or Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for all of your library needs.
