Annual Lifesaver Blood Drive and Health Fair Announced

(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.

Village of Solvay Addresses Stormwater Concerns

By Cara Burton, Director Solvay Public Library

(Solvay, NY – May 2011) On May 24th at Solvay Public Library, the Village of Solvay Board held a public hearing on stormwater management plans. Village Engineer Anthony DeStefano presented an overview of projects required to satisfy the New York State stormwater discharge permits.

Solvay has an aged sanitary sewer and drainage system that poses many challenges that this plan addresses.  In 1897, the Village of Solvay bonded for $40,000 to finance a complete system of sanitary and storm sewers.  These were tied into Solvay Process Companies pipes.  Today, modern engineering and materials allow for improvements to this system.  The village proximity to Onondaga Lake’s remediation projects allows them to build on those corrections to water control infrastructure.

The Village Engineer also submitted the Village Stormwater Plan report for public review at the library as well as brochures.  Pamphlets about rain gardens and other property improvements are available, too.

The Solvay Public Library has heightened public awareness about stormwater issues with distribution of educational material.  In 2009, Boy Scout Paul Harvey created a rain garden in front of the library for his Eagle project. “Solvay on the Lake” series of childrens’ science programs in 2010 were provided with funding secured by Senator John DeFrancisco.

Currently, a special book display about water issues and garden design is in the library.  Stormwater run-off information is included in this library’s “Onondaga Lake and Solvay Information Clearinghouse” collection.

For more information about the impact of stormwater drainage on your property and our water supply, visit the Solvay Public Library. The CNY Regional Planning and Development Board also has information on its website http://www.cnyrpdb.org/stormwater/Public.
