(Aug. 19, 2011) Assemblyman Sam Roberts (D,WF-Syracuse), a key sponsor of legislation creating the Greater Syracuse Regional Airport Authority (Chapter 463 of 2011), announced its signing into law by the governor. An unpaid eleven-member regional board will oversee the new authority which includes Syracuse Hancock International Airport. Hancock Airport was previously controlled by the Syracuse Mayor and was, up until now, the only major airport in the state not operated by an authority.

“Allowing Syracuse Hancock International Airport to increase its competitive edge will not only help reduce airport operating costs, but also has the potential to boost Central New York’s economy by attracting new services and airlines in the future,” said Roberts.

Out of the eleven regional board members, seven are appointed by the Syracuse Mayor and one appointed by each the Onondaga County executive, the DeWitt Town Board and the East Syracuse-Minoa School District. The North Syracuse Central School District and the town boards of Salina, Cicero and Clay each take turns appointing the last member.

Monroe County Airport Authority, established in 1989, is an example of an airport authority benefiting a community. Since then, it has been able to deliver nationally-recognized affordability by bringing increased competition from low-cost carriers, such as AirTran Airways, to airports like the Greater Rochester International Airport (GRIA). Additionally, the average air fare at the GRIA has dropped more than $100 since 1995, as reported by the U.S. Department of Transportation.

“An adjusted focus on our air transportation facilities along with stronger local input from the new regional board will provide a great service for Central New York, yielding better decisions to benefit the entire region rather than a single municipality.” Roberts concluded.

(Cicero, NY – Aug. 18, 2011) The Girl Scouts of NYPENN Pathways, Inc. has promoted Dianne Stancato of Constantia to the position of Chief Operations Officer.

(Syracuse, NY – Aug. 8, 2011) Achieve Fitness, LLC announced today Upstate Orthopedics as an official sponsor of the Inaugural Empire State Marathon and Half Marathon on Oct. 16, 2011, as well as the Driver’s Village New York State Health and Wellness Expo on Oct. 14 and 15.

As part of its sponsorship, Upstate Orthopedics will be frequently mentioned during the Empire State Marathon and Half Marathon; have their logos added to all printed/promotional materials, signage and advertising, including radio, television and billboard spots; and receive booth space at the Driver’s Village New York State Health and Wellness Expo.

Upstate Orthopedics recently opened OrthoNOW!, a new after-hours, walk-in program for urgent orthopedic problems. The program offers patients immediate access to a team of orthopedic specialists during daytime, evening and weekend hours for sprains, breaks, dislocations and sports injuries. Staffed by the orthopedic surgeons and mid-level providers from Upstate Orthopedics, the program helps patients avoid long emergency room waits and higher out-of-pocket facility co-pays.

A consulting company for the P.F. Chang’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Arizona Marathon, Achieve Fitness is the managing entity of 1^st Marathon, 1^st Triathlon, the recently reacquired Valley of the Sun Marathon and Half Marathon, and the Empire State Marathon and Half Marathon. Principal owner Brian Collins is a native of Central New York and graduate of Cicero-North Syracuse High School, Syracuse University and Le Moyne College.

(Marcy, NY – July 20, 2011) The New York State Police in Marcy investigated an Aggravated Harassment Complaint on July 19.

Mark E. Barber, 47, of Cicero was arrested for Aggravated Harassment and Criminal Contempt after calling his ex-wife, Julie Benzo vulgar names over the phone.

Ms. Benzo hung up the phone, and Mark attempted to re-contact her approximately 25 more times on her house, cell, and work phone knowing that she had an order of protection against him.

Barber was arrested and arraigned in the town of Marcy Court and was remanded to the Oneida County Correctional Facility on $2,000 bail/bond.

He is to reappear in the town of Deerfield Court on July 25 at 4 p.m.

(Town of Clay, NY – June 15, 2011)  Onondaga County Sheriff Kevin E. Walsh reports that a Cicero Woman faces an additional arson charge in connection with a 2010 Town of Clay fire.

Donna Burke, (59), of 317 Hamilton Road, was charged this afternoon with second-degree Arson in connection with a storage room fire that was reported on Oct. 3, 2010 at the Allen Meadow Apartments, located at 5562 Bear Road.

Yesterday, Cicero Police charged Burke with third-degree arson accusing her of intentionally setting a basement fire at her Cicero home.

Onondaga County Fire Investigators, who were working with Cicero Police Department, recognized Burke’s name and recalled that she resided at the Allen Meadow Apartments in 2010 at the time they investigated a storage room fire. This information was forwarded to detectives assigned to the Sheriff’s Criminal Investigation Division.

Following up on the information, Detective Jon Seeber interviewed Burke who stated that she tossed a lit cigarette into the storage area causing the fire.

Burke, who was already being held at the Onondaga County Justice Center on the Cicero charges, was arraigned this afternoon in the Town of Clay Court where bail was set in the amount of $50,000 cash or $100,000 bond.

Burke is scheduled to return to the Town of Clay Court on Jun 28.

Arson in the 2nd degree is a class B felony.

(Syracuse, NY – June 9, 2011) Assemblyman Sam Roberts (D,WF-Syracuse), a key sponsor of legislation that would create the Syracuse Regional Airport Authority (A.2166-A), is urging the governor to sign this important bill into law. The bill has already passed the Assembly and Senate.

“A more efficient, better-run airport will give us a competitive advantage in attracting business and travel to our area, paving the way for economic development and job creation for families in Central New York.”

The regional board would be comprised of eleven unpaid members. Out of the eleven members seven would be appointed by the Syracuse Mayor and one would be appointed by each the Onondaga County executive, the DeWitt Town Board and the East Syracuse-Minoa School District. The North Syracuse Central School District and the town boards of Salina, Cicero and Clay would each take turns appointing the last member.

Airports serving other Upstate New York cities currently benefit from similar models. An example would be the Monroe County Airport Authority, established in 1989. Since then, it has been able to deliver nationally-recognized affordability by bringing increased competition from low-cost carriers, such as AirTran Airways, to airports like the Greater Rochester International Airport (GRIA). Additionally, the average air fare at the GRIA has dropped more than $100 since 1995, as reported by the U.S. Department of Transportation.

“The new authority would enhance the airport’s ability to stimulate economic growth through efficiency, helping bring Central New York into the new economy,” Roberts concluded.

(Cicero, NY – June 2011) Save the Date for the 5th Annual Lifesaver Blood Drive and Health Fair to be held from noon until 6 p.m., Tuesday, July 19 at Gillette Road Middle School, 6150 South Bay Road, Cicero.

“It has become one of the biggest blood drives in Central New York, in which blood donations during each of the past four years have exceeded 100 pints. Considering an average drive produces about 30 pints, this number is significant. For this reason, and with the urging of Red Cross officials, I determined that this event, which was started by Al Stirpe, is far too important to our community to end,” said Assemblyman Bill Magnarelli.

“Giving blood is one of the most important gifts a person can give and this blood drive is planned during the summer, when there is always a shortage of blood on hand. As a matter of fact, blood donations during this time decrease by 10 to 15 percent, while need escalates because of increased outdoor work and recreational activities.

This is another reason why it is very important to continue this blood drive to help save lives.”

To donate blood, if you have any questions or need more information, call 428-9651 or email abdellad@assembly.state.ny.us.
