Bottoming out ‘50s era homes may pose risk to residents By Tami S. Zimmerman editor@eaglebulletin.com More than 2,000 homes built in the 1950s exist in DeWitt, according to a report issued by the town’s assessment department. That figure includes the village of East Syracuse and the hamlet of Jamesville. Last week, the DeWitt Fire Department answered a call at 102 Clearview Road, a ranch-style house built in that same decade, after homeowner Martin Hafter’s garage floor had collapsed. The garage was built over a hole using sup-

port beams, which rotted over time and gave out Jan. 16. Hafter’s is one of three 1950s homes where this has occurred over the past two winters, according to fire officials who have said this type of construction is typical for that era. Is there a way to find out if the same incident could happen at your home? According to DeWitt Fire Chief Jason Green, that depends on access to structural components, however, “just being aware of having that type of construction will be the first step towards people having it inspected and recognizing a potential problem.” See Codes, page 8

By Tami S. Zimmerman editor@eaglebulletin.com High school Spanish students have a chance to travel to the oldest city in Europe: Cadiz, Spain. Susana Delmar, a teacher in the Fayetteville-Manlius School District, has arranged for six consecutive years a summer study abroad program that lasts almost an entire month. The program is independent from F-M, but students can earn college credits through the University

of Cadiz, where they benefit from 45 hours of study. “At this point, I have taken close to 100 students [altogether],” said Delmar, noting she has just five spots left for this year’s trip. “That may change very quickly, though.” Students who would like to go should act now. Delmar said after this summer, she is changing the program from yearly to every other year. Her main reasons include spending more time with her family See Spain, page 8
