Save the Rain featured project

City Parking Lot No.21 (formerly the Downtown Farmer’s Market) was a stormwater retro-fit project that included redesigning an existing half-acre asphalt parking lot into a more efficient and sustainable site. The project, located at the corner of West Washington and South Clinton streets, featured the installation of an infiltration tree trench with structural soil, six native shade trees, porous pavers, and a subsurface infiltration system. The non-porous areas of the redesigned parking lot were repaved with standard pavement and re-striped to include spaces for plug-in hybrid CuseCars. The project is designed to capture 1-inch of runoff from both the lot and adjacent pavement areas, resulting in a total annual capture of approximately 462,000 gallons of stormwater. Save the Rain� program is a comprehensive plan to cleanup and restore Onondaga Lake that includes construction of traditional gray infrastructure projects and the development of an innovative green infrastructure plan to reduce the effects storm water pollution to the lake and its tributaries. Each month, we’ll list upcoming Save the Rain events and feature an update on a noteworthy project. For more information, visit savetherain.us.

THE

Viewpoints Our view

Finding that middle ground It’s a chicken-egg predicament that we see it all the time: A government agency decides to undertake a project, presents the public with draft plans, target dates and estimated costs, and asks for feedback. The public feels blindsided and questions how, and why, such plans could be drawn up without any prior input from the community. Conversely, when a concept is put to the community prior to the drafting process, the response is, more often than not, “How are we supposed to offer useful input when we have no details about the project?” Most recently, we’ve seen it in Camillus, where the Onondaga County DOT presented preliminary plans to repave much of West Genesee Street and reduce traffic flow from four to three lanes. Earlier this spring, we heard similar complaints regarding the county legislature’s method of redrawing legislative lines for redistricting, the public hearing for which was held less than 48 hours before the legislature was to vote on the proposal, which passed 12-7 on April 15. The paradox puts government in a tough spot, for sure. And we would not expect all decision making to be postponed until each member of each community was given the opportunity to advise project leaders on their plans. But there has to be a middle ground here, and we are concerned with how often we don’t see agencies taking multipronged approach that actively encourages and welcomes feedback from the public throughout all steps of a project. Why didn’t the DOT ask residents to submit their concerns at the start of the project, so they could be taken into account when plans were drawn? Why weren’t the fire and police departments in Camillus asked for input on the project before the public hearing? Why was the public hearing held only six business days before the deadline for public input? As usual, the burden lies on residents to seek out public projects and be mindful of deadlines that cut off public input.

From Dad: Five years of autism and love He turned five last month. It’s been five years since that strange, sleepless night where I nervously made a wrong turn on the way to the hospital. Five years since I learned how to hold a baby, change a diaper, fall asleep in a rocking chair. Five years of so many firsts. And it’s now been more than four years since we saw the “60 Minutes” special on autism. The one that made us wonder why he didn’t look up when we called his name; why he didn’t clap; why he studied his little plastic toys so intently, so close to his face that we feared he would go cross eyed. It’s nearly four years since we stood in the parking lot outside the specialist’s office, after being told that John is probably somewhere on the autism spectrum but a little too young to know for sure. Although the doctor didn’t know, we did. The world of autism is full of surprises, but the diagnosis, when it finally came, didn’t raise an eyebrow. About the same time, John uttered his first word. After tickling him so much I was afraid he’d lose his dinner, he pulled my hand to his belly and mimicked me – “ticko, ticko, ticko.” In a few months, it will have been four years since his sister, Abby, was born. When we brought her home John studied her for a moment and hugged his mom. We had wondered what he would do, how he would react. He

reacted like he does with so many things – a brief period of interest followed by a preoccupation with the toys and books and things he cares so much about. About the same time, the therapists and service coordinators entered our lives, so many I can’t remember all their names, but all with a seemingly genuine adoration for our little blue-eyed boy. And it’s nearly three years since he started school – first at Bernice Wright and then at Jowonio - where he’s worked intensively with therapists and been exposed to other children, developing ever-so-slowly the social skills that are so hard to come by. It’s also three years since the humming started – loud and anxious and usually accompanied by pacing nervously from room to room. Soon after, he shocked us by spelling his name with letter blocks, leaving the J-O-H-N neatly lined up on the floor and then moving on to other toys. A host of other surprises followed, each a tiny glimpse into his knowledge of shapes, numbers, letters, colors. Little bits of information picked up and locked in his brain, rarely escaping for the world to see. It’s been two years since he fell in love with signs. Stop sign, No Parking sign, Odd-Even Parking sign, Street, Caution, Yield, Deaf Person in Area – any placard on a post. For two

Tyler From the

Publisher

years our walks around the neighborhood have been a zig-zag from sign to sign, with a pause to touch each rusty post, look up at the sign, and move on to the next. And it’s been two years since he waded into the ocean for the first time, holding my hand as the gentle but icy waves knocked him over again and again, uncontrollable giggles following each swell. It’s been a year since he’s been able to form the overly loud, one-word commands or brief fragments of language that express his wants and needs. Shouts of “MILK!” or “ALL DONE!” have allowed us to replace our trialand-error appeasement. It’s been only a few days since he climbed atop his new bike, facing the wrong direction, before I had finished assembling it, repeating over and over “A new biy-ke! A new biy-ke!” And only a few days since he plucked the strings of his new guitar, playing it on the neck and sending it out of key within minutes. Five years of firsts. Five years of diapers, tears, frustrations, embarrassing tantrums, and concerned talks with therapists and doctors. Five years of giggles, funny endearing looks, courageous and joyful trips down the waterslide, and shocking little glimpses into the thoughts trapped in his mind. Five years of loving my little boy.

Joanie Mahoney gets Alliance Network endorsement Ken Jackson Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney has done something that is virtually impossible for a Republican, and that is to snag an endorsement by a major black political organization. At a bed and breakfast located in a former mansion on West Onondaga Avenue, Alliance Network President Walt Dixie addressed the crowded room: “Perhaps one of the most important things County Executive Joanne Mahoney has done to transform this community is in fact something she didn’t do. She did not build additional sewage treatment plants. The county’s ‘Save the Rain’ program could also be called the ‘Save Our Communities’ program.” Dixie went on to gush about the support Mahoney has given to minority- and women-owned businesses in Onondaga County. The dynamic of this moment is not lost since it was only two years ago that the Onondaga County Human Rights Commission was allowed

to die a quiet death after an explosive outcry from the black community when the legislature eliminated the department in a cost-cutting move. One of the little-known facts about the Onondaga County Human Rights Commission was its mission to look out for the interests of minority- and women-owned businesses in this area. However, in his efforts to save the agency, the former Director Julius Edwards failed to mention the millions of dollars in mandated government spending that was consistently monitored and contract clauses enforced when there was a department with a letterhead behind it. So like many other efforts designed to provide access for minority and women business owners to opportunities in the construction business, this agency was flushed down the toilet. In defense of Dixie and the Alliance Network, his comments focused on the myriad issues they do agree on, which include stopping the

construction of additional regional treatment facilities, supporting for the minority business community, Say Yes to Education and the spirit of collaboration between the county executive and Syracuse’s mayor. Oh, what was not mentioned is the $350,000 the county made available to another group Dixie heads that has allowed the purchase of a former painting contractor site for a future grocery store. County Executive Mahoney took time to chat about, and spoke to the people gathered about her commitment to the community and its people. “The fact that you came out so publicly for me, and this is the first endorsement I received from anywhere… the fact is that as I look around this room I feel like I’m amongst friends,” Mahoney said.

OCC maintains men’ s lax dynasty Coaches’ local roots help Lazers stay on top By Christina Alexander Contributing Writer In his 10th year as Onondaga Community College’s head men’s lacrosse coach, Chuck Wilbur and his coaching staff have quietly assembled one of the country’s best junior college lacrosse programs. The Lazers’ third consecutive NJCAA national championship came this month when it defeated Baltimore-area’s CCBC-Essex, 12-9, at Herkimer County Community College. There, the Lazers were faced with an unfamiliar test - playing from behind. Before that, OCC’s closest game of the season came against the United States Military Academy Prep School when the Lazers edged the Black Knights 13-12. “It’s special because it’s a new group of kids winning,” Wilbur said. “Fifty to 60 percent of our team was not on last year’s team. To see their expressions, to see them win at the end of the game when they are throwing up their helmets and gloves and going crazy – that’s what it’s all about. You watch them win and celebrate. It’s

emotional. I tear up thinking about it.” Accolades are fruitful: 11-time Mid-State Athletic Conference champions (2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011), seven-time NJCAA Region III champions (2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011) and five-time NJCAA national champions (2006, 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2011). Enduring rewarding seasons, year-in-andyear-out, Wilbur and his coaching staff of six, brothers Mike and Joe Villano, Chris Brim, Nick Gatto, Brooks Robinson and Stefan Schroder don’t reinvent the wheel, but rather evolve as times goes on. “We try and keep what works,” Wilbur said. “Seventy-five percent of the stuff we do carries over to the next year because we have been successful. As the game changes, we have to evolve as coaches. Ten years ago, compared to now, even the players are different – the way they play, the way they handle themselves.” Besides their Central New York roots, these coaches all have a knack of what it takes to be a contender on the junior college level.

Villano graduated from Herkimer County Community College while his brother, Joe played at Hudson Valley Community College. Gatto, Brim and Schroder all played and grew under Wilbur. “Nick [Gatto] may be one of the best up-and -coming lacrosse minds in the country at any level,” Wilbur said. Gatto, a Henninger High School graduate and the Lazers offensive coordinator, played

two years at OCC (2005 and 2006) and then went on to LeMoyne College, where he led the Dolphins to a Division II national championship in 2007. A savvy attackman, Gatto is the all-time assists leader and second all time in points for the Lazers. As the lacrosse program flourished, so did the notoriety. For Wilbur, the recruiting trail is rich and the relationships are for a lifetime. “In 2005, we got Sid Smith,” Wilbur said. ▷

WEIGHTLIFTING POSES NO LYMPHEDEMA RISK

Tickets are $75 per person and all proceeds will be used to further the mission of The VNA Foundation of Central New York.

Breast cancer survivors may develop the painful condition known as “lymphedema,” which is caused by an accumulation of lymph fluid after surgical removal of the lymph nodes or radiation. While the condition causes arm swelling and discomfort, women with breast cancer-related lymphedema may be told not to lift heavy objects. However, recent research shows that lifting weights was not only safe for lymphedema patients to undertake, but it also may actually help stabilize symptoms. Researchers were quick to point out that the weightlifting regimen should be supervised by a physical therapist. In fact, the study’s author recommends that breast cancer patients consult with physical therapists about any of the many arm and

should problems they might encounter, not just lymphedema. It is important to know whether a patient was skilled at a sport or activity prior to her developing lymphedema. A sport-specific exercise program can be developed to build strength, flexibility and endurance in the muscle groups most used in that activity. New treatments for lymphedema are emerging with certified lymphedema therapists at the forefront. To schedule an appointment, please call 315-476-3176. The State of New York requires that each patient must see a physician, nurse practitioner, dentist or podiatrist and receive a prescription for physical therapy. We are located at 207 Pine Street in Syracuse. P.S. Women with lymphedema should wear a well-fitting compression garment during all exercise sessions.

Syracuse Chargers rugby reaches national final By Phil Blackwell pblackwell@eaglenewsonline.com Thanks to the Syracuse Chargers Men’s Rugby Club, a national championship nearly came home to the Salt City. Culminating a year full of hard work and sweat, the Chargers advanced all the way to the Division III national championship game Sunday in Glendale, Colo., near Denver, before falling to Metropolis (Minn.) by a score of 46-25. Earlier in the millennium, Syracuse won five consecutive New York State titles and the 2003 Northeast regional crown, but never reached the heights that it did this spring. Under the tutelage of third-year coach Stephen Heywood, the Chargers made the 2011 season a special one as, first, it won the Northeast tournament championship in order to advance to the ‘Sweet 16’ round, played in Manassas, Va., just south of Washington, D.C. In the round of 16 on May 21, Syracuse met the Cincinnati Kelts. A tight first half saw the Chargers inch out in front 15-9. But with superior conditioning, Syracuse wore down the Kelts in the second half and kept the ball most of the time, eventually winning by a comfortable 37-16 margin. This set up the quarterfinal on May 22 against Virginia. In what amounted to a road game, both

sides scraped for points in the first half as Virginia moved to an 11-5 lead. Yet as rain fell in the second half, Virginia slowed down and Syracuse pulled within one, 11-10. As time wound down, the Chargers kept cool and watched flyhalf Jeff Devennie converted a three-point penalty shot. It proved the game-winner as, by a 13-11 margin, Syracuse made the final four. Two more intense weeks of practice followed, through weather hot and cold, and on Friday the Chargers flew out to Denver, in pursuit of a national championship. Meeting Dallas (Texas) Athletic Rugby Club in Saturday’s semifinals, Syracuse put up another superb defensive effort, nearly getting a shutout as, by a 25-5 margin, it advanced to the final against Metropolis, a club based in the Twin Cities that beat the South Bay Rhinos (Calif.) in the other semifinal. Unlike many of the playoff games leading to this point, the first half proved high-scoring. Syracuse fell behind, 19-7, but charged late in the half as Devennie and Johnny Morse earned crucial points, cutting the margin to 19-17 at the break. Here, though, the magic ran out. Metropolis played a near-perfect second half, outscoring the Chargers 27-3. Still, the rough ending could not take away from the history Syracuse made during its deep post-season run.

about. It’s a slogan that not only applies to the coaches and players, but the parents, too. Team tailgates after competition is just one representation of how tight-knit this group really is. Wilbur said other coaches have noticed. “I always remember hearing four-year coaches and other two-year coaches say, ‘How do you get your teams so close? How do you do that? It’s not about individual statistics, it’s about team accolades. Team accolades always get you

individual success.” The next step for this Lazers squad is simple: Win its sixth national championship. With its sophomore class returning and from 20 to 30 incoming freshmen, the team looks poised to get back to the promise land. “It’s my job to make sure they get the opportunity to win a sixth championship,” Wilbur said. “We have set a precedent now. That’s our goal every year.”

We’ve been building up to something special. In the toughest of times, the Central New York Ronald McDonald House provides a ‘home away from home’ for families of hospitalized children. Now, we need your support to help us reach our goal line and build a larger, handicap-accessible house to meet a growing need.

Student-athletes, bottom line, want to play for a competitive program. “Anytime you succeed it helps with recruiting,” Wilbur said. “People want to play for a winning team, people want to play for championships. We call a player up after winning a national championship and you can hear that excitement in their voice.” Wilbur might be known for being OCC’s head coach, but there is another hat he wears – one of an admissions councilor. “To be honest with you, that [watching them go on and continue their education] means more to me than any national championship. Year in-and-year out, we are pretty close to it, getting these kids to four-year schools and letting them be successful. This is really what it’s about for us as coaches.” The dedication shows, Wilbur and the coaching staff have had 53 Lacrosse Coaches Association Academic All-Americans as well as 47 All-Americans, sending them to noted four-year colleges and universities from Syracuse to North Carolina, Ohio State, LeMoyne and Salisbury.

“Sid came here by himself without knowing anyone, (but) he knew a couple guys from the Onondaga Reservation. Sid was able to bring over a lot of his friends. They followed him. “It’s a trust thing. They trust that we are going to take care of them and work hard to help them out in their future careers. We’ve built a really good relationship with them.” Take a quick glance at the Lazers’ roster: Canada, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, and the list continues to grow. A cornucopia of lacrosse talent doesn’t just exist on the East Coast, but in small pockets of the Midwest and beyond. For example, Denver is the latest lacrosse darling to emerge from out West. The Pioneers are the first team based west of the Mississippi River to reach the NCAA final four, held this year in Baltimore. And the University of Michigan announced this week the elevation of the men’s and women’s lacrosse programs to varsity status. “We have a kid coming in from Hawaii next year who is a great player, never been recognized,” Wilbur said. Syracuse, LeMoyne, Cortland State are names that speak for itself within the lacrosse community. The same can be said for OCC.

When Damien Dine, 21, started visiting the Q Center when it opened in 2006, he was looking for a place where he could be himself and be around others like him. An East Syracuse Minoa High School student, Dine had come out to his family as a gay male two years earlier, at age 14. Although he had friends at school, Dine said he felt they didn’t really know what he was going through. “You feel like you’re the only one,” Dine said. “It’s very much, you feel like the only one when in actuality you aren’t—but no one‘s around you saying that.” The Q Center, a program of AIDS Community Resources’ Youth Services, is now in its fifth year of providing a safe, nonjudgmental place for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth and their allies, between 13 and 22 years old, for free. The non-profit center is the only one of its kind in the greater Syracuse area. Q Center Program Coordinator Heather Crate said finding a sense of belonging is probably the most important thing for any LGBTQ youth who walks in the door for the first time. “A lot of times, regardless if they’re 13 or 18 or 19, they feel like they might be the only person who is LGBTQ,” Crate said. With approximately 50 youths using the Q Center each month, and staff and volunteers who are often LGBTQ themselves, Crate said youths quickly realize they’re not alone in their experiences. Once they’ve found a place they feel they fit in, the Q Center becomes a resource for LGBTQ to get information. Crate said the center runs several group sessions each week for youth, including a new group for parents of LGBTQ kids, an after school program and social events (the Pride Prom is coming up later this month). The groups address any relevant topic, from how to come out to their families to how to talk to their doctors, LGBTQ students’ rights in schools, how to deal with bullies, and current events. “The great thing about the Q Center is you don’t have to peg yourself into any identity or label, there’s a lot of fluidity,” Crate said.

elements remain the same,” he said. “For some kids, the experience is going to be very similar to what it was 40 or 50 years ago. Even among liberal parents, the idea their child would be gay or lesbian is either stated as a disappointment, or perceived that way.”

Q Center Program Coordinator Heather Crate also conducts cultural competency training for youth service providers to help prevent stigmatizing LGBTQ youth. Bruce Carter, a developmental psychologist on faculty at SU, co-founded the now-defunct Onondaga County Gay and Lesbian Youth Center in 1987, a hotline for youth to ask questions and get information about LGBT issues. He remembers the same need for youth then, nearly 25 years ago, to have a safe place to access and ask questions. But he points out that people can be wary of the idea of encouraging adolescents to talk about sexuality. “Quite literally the problem is that folks often confuse the idea of talking about sexuality with the idea of having sex,” Carter said. “Especially when you’re talking about kids and gay and lesbian issues.” Carter, who also serves as president of CNY Pride, said in some ways society has become more accepting of LBGTQ individuals, but that tolerance is more abstract—for some parents, non-heterosexual orientations are perfectly acceptable, as long as they don’t apply to their own children. “The process of coming out is different for kids today than it was 40 years ago, but some

with the staff there so we’re not just taking these youth out of mainstream society and into our center,” Crate said. “We’re going back out into the community and saying, ‘look, these youth are here, here’s how they’re feeling, here’s what they’re experiencing and here’s what you can do to make sure that all places are safe spaces.’”

2011 Wing Tournament: Final Four and Championship

Another tough battle for Nibsy’s and the first real test for Swallow’s in a match-up that could’ve gone either way. There were four categories in which both contestants were evenly matched and nearly perfect: meat, flavor, heat, balance, and even celery and blue cheese. There were even a few toss-ups that could’ve gone either way making this by far the most difficult match-up to find a clear-cut winner. Both are winners in my mind and it’s a shame to have to cut one. In the end, Nibsy’s did have that classic taste that you want from chicken wings and the pool of delicious Buffalo sauce lying in the bottom of the bowl was beyond appetizing for dipping. But Swallow’s took the battle with perfect wings cov-

ered in a mouth-watering, if unorthodox, sauce highlighted by some of the hottest wings in the tournament. Technically, it may not be a Buffalo sauce, but it’s spicy, garlicy and finger-licking delicious. Congrats, Swallow’s. You’ve certainly earned your spot in the championship.

The first ever 2011 City Wing Tournament Championship was a good battle for sure. Dino was given a run for its money by Swallow’s, who, along with their tasty and original hot sauce, had wings that were of good size and nicely coated. However, Dinosaur’s “Wango Tango� wings were flawless and had a perfect score in every category in the tournament. I give credit where credit is due: Swallow’s were the only seed all along to give Dinosaur a real fight. But it wasn’t enough to surpass Dino’s smoky hot sauce and chicken wings that were of the best quality in the tournament. If you’re a purist in your wing beliefs, crown Nibsy’s. If you’re a slight purist looking for something a little different, crown Swallow’s. But if you’re looking for the best chicken wings in Syracuse, look no further than the “Wango Tango� wings at Dinosaur-Bar-B-Que. Dinosaur: 3 points Swallow’s: 2 points Winner: Dinosaur Bar-B-Que

The Downtown vs. Northside/Eastwood match-up pitted Dinosaur’s Wango Tango wings against Change of Pace’s hot and extra crispy wings. Change of Pace’s wings are very good and (despite not being outstandingly “extra crispy� on this occasion), come coated in a very hot, tasty, classic Buffalo sauce. They’re no match for Dino’s “Wango Tango� though. Dinosaur boasts the most tender, fall-off-the-bone chicken meat of all the contestants with deliciously crispy wings slathered in a sweet, sassy and garlicy sauce that has the perfect mouth-tingling kick.

IT HAPPENS HERE!

Szozda Gallery continues the Delavan tradition of exhibiting the works of Seymour Dual Language Academy School with the 8th Annual Kids’ Benefit Art Show, and introduces Meachem Elementary School as co-exhibitor. The Kids’ Benefit Art Show event remains on display until June 12 at Szozda Gallery, 501 W. Fayette St. Over the years, this benefit and student art show has proven to be a win-win happening that celebrates students’ talent, encourages parent involvement, shares the work with the public and, most importantly, highlights the arts programs at both schools through sale of the works displayed in which a portion of proceeds goes to the student’s school art program and the other half to the student. Syracuse City School District art teachers Stacy Griffin and Kelly Moser-Vogler stress the added significance of this year’s show in light of increased budget cuts to school arts programs across the board. “With this program show sales provide the means for schools to purchase more supplies so that students can continue to create outstanding artworks in a variety of mediums,� said Griffin. She added: “Having access to a noted, professional gallery space helps kids realize the value of their hard work and in the art they create. It allows both students and their parents to experience what is likely their first foray into a well-appointed public gallery while at the same time, giving students a sense of accomplishment in being exhibiting artists in their own right.

The importance of periodic pruning Central New York properties have both young and mature trees that require periodic maintenance. Pruning is the most common procedure for maintaining trees. Pruning should be done with an understanding of how the trees respond to each cut. Improper pruning may cause damage that can last for the tree’s lifespan or, worse yet, can shorten the tree’s lifespan. Why is periodic pruning necessary? Pruning is necessary for various reasons such as the removal of weak branching, and to provide structural, lighting, utility lines, pedestrian traffic and/or vehicular traffic clearance. Pruning is also an invigorating process. By removing dead, dying, diseased, and crossing and conflicting limbs, energy reserves are directed towards growth in remaining branches. Periodic pruning should maintain a desirable, natural shape while enhancing the beauty and health of your landscape. When should you begin pruning trees? Pruning young plants helps them build a strong structure to support future growth. Most young trees require a strong central leader and balanced branching to ensure the proper distribution of weight and to prevent future structural problems. A tree with minimal structural prob-

Tom Mullarney lems will be less likely to fail during a heavy rain or snowstorm. Proper structure reduces the risk to your tree’s health and also reduces the risk of damage to your home and property from falling limbs. Wound dressings Wound dressings were once thought to help wound closure, and protect against disease and insect activity. However, research has shown that dressings do not reduce decay or speed closure. In addition, they rarely prevent disease or insect activity. Most experts do not recommend using wound dressings. If dressing is to be used it is simply for aesthetic purposes only (i.e., covering an obvious tree wound). When should I consult a certified arborist? If a pruning job requires the use of a ladder, you need to call a certified arborist to have the work completed. I strongly recommend hiring a certified arborist to evaluate and give you appropriate recommendations for any of your pruning needs. A tree care professional will be able to provide

you with the services of a trained crew, including all required safety equipment and the appropriate liability insurance. Be careful if an arborist suggests “topping” your tree. A knowledgeable arborist knows that topping is not a standard practice, as it is very harmful to trees. Remember, periodic pruning can provide major health, safety and aesthetic benefits for your trees; but only if it is completed properly.

Seneca Federal giving back with others in CNY Several employees at Seneca Federal Savings and Loan Association walked or ran in the annual American Heart Association event on Saturday April 16, 2011. “It is the mission of our mutually owned, community based Association to take part in and donate to events such as this one,� said Katrina Russo, president – CEO. The group may not be as large as some of the other well represented groups but their intentions are all the same. They united at Long Branch Park

as an opportunity to honor heart disease and stroke survivors, remember people we have lost, and raise funds and awareness to help end this disease. When asked, why does Seneca Federal take part in events such as this? The president stated, “These diseases affects people we love in our personal lives, people in our work environment and customers we have known for many years. It’s hard not to know somebody who has been affected by heart disease either directly or indirectly.�
