From The Executive Director
Written by Lynn Tanner, CMCA
Renewal contracts for residents leasing a
Storage Yard
Slot were sent
out the beginning of October.
The current contract period ends on
October 31, 2015. Whether renewing
or cancelling your contract, please
return your completed documents
as soon as possible. It saves on time
and expense if we don’t have to do
a second mailing. Those residents
that are on the waiting list for a
particular size Storage Yard Slot will
be contacted as soon as we have confirmed there is a vacancy.
By the time this issue of the
Reflections
is
distributed,
Dependable Disposal will have
already delivered new trash & recycling totes to each residence. Please
note that the new totes should
be placed with the arrows facing the road, as indicated on the
lid cover. They should also be
placed on opposite sides of your
driveway OR 3’ – 4’ apart so the
“arms” of the truck can grab &
lift the totes. By placing the totes
facing the correct direction, the lids
will close when they are set back on
the ground.
The final opportunity to have
Dependable Disposal pick up
unwanted, used trash cans is next
week. Just bring your trash can
down to the curb, alongside the new
trash totes and Dependable will pick
it up and dispose of it for you. Also,
if you are not interested in keeping your blue bin, you may drop it
off to the trailer parked in the RCA
Office parking lot during the week
of Monday, October 12 to Friday,
October 16 from 7:00am to 3:00pm.
Or, you may drop your blue bin off
on Saturday, October 17 from 8am –
Noon. The blue bins will be returned
to the Onondaga County Recovery
Resource Agency (OCRRA) to be
reused and/or recycled.
At September’s Board of
Directors Meeting, residents in
attendance got to hear a presentation by Dr. Dave Matthews of
Upstate Freshwater Institute.
In past years, Dr. Matthews has
helped the Association address any
Page 2
specific concerns that may have
become apparent with the community’s retention ponds. This year, the
Association retained Dr. Matthews
to do regular, on-site evaluations and
water testing of each retention pond.
He presented the findings from his
evaluations to residents, management and the Board of Directors
and also engaged in a Q & A session afterwards. We appreciate Dr.
Matthews’ wonderful presentation! Please look for an article
highlighting this presentation in
a future issue of the Reflections.
This year’s scheduled repairs to
the community pathway system are
fully under way and are expected
to be completed soon. The process
we use to determine which sections of pathway to repair on an
annual basis includes many different aspects. First we inspect
the actual condition of the asphalt
itself, looking for things such as:
dangerous bumps in the pathway
(normally due to nearby tree roots);
or sunken spots in the asphalt which
are equally concerning. There may
be other factors upon inspection
that pose a safety risk to pedestrians
utilizing the pathway or staff and
equipment out plowing the pathway.
After these risk factors are evaluated
we also consider future work to be
done in that area. For instance, in
the past when we knew extensive
work was going to be done on
the Oberon Pier, it made sense to
hold off on pathway repairs nearby until that project was done,
due to the heavy equipment that
would be used and essentially
would have done damage to the
new pathway.
Another factor we need to
consider when selecting a pathway section to repair is access
to trees. In many cases, the
only way for a contractor to
access a tree located on RCA
Common Property is via the
pathway system. Therefore, we
do a visual inspection of trees
located in the Common Property
near the proposed pathway section, to see if there are any trees
needing to be removed prior to
laying new asphalt. We recently
Reflections, October 9, 2015
had this exact scenario with our
pathway repair project in the “loop”
of Jayhawk Circle.
The trees in the Common Property
were inspected by local arborists and
several trees were determined to be
dead, or diseased and dangerous.
Included in these trees were some
ash trees that necessitated removal
before they became infected with
the Emerald Ash Borer and could
not be safely removed. EAB has been
confirmed in Onondaga County and
is a threat to the numerous ash
trees in Radisson. Those trees identified as requiring removal in the
“loop” of Jayhawk Circle, were safely
felled prior to the pathway repairs
being completed. This is the process that we utilize for all pathway
repairs. The Radisson Community
Association considers our trees to
be one of our greatest resources.
While the community’s natural
beauty is extremely important to
us, equally important is residents’
safety and protection of personal
property. Thank you to the residents
in this area for their patience while
we made these safety improvements
to our wooded Common Property
and pathway system.
In addition to evaluating trees
as we make pathway repairs, we
are continuing our proactive
approach to the oncoming invasion of the Emerald Ash Borer.
In May of 2015, the RCA Board of
Directors approved an Emerald Ash
Borer Management Plan, which is
posted on our website. You can find
this plan under the Architectural
Standards tab, on the Tree Resources
page.
We had selected areas of
Common Property (see map below)
inventoried and trees marked by an
arborist/certified pesticide applicator for either removal or to be considered for treatment. We are in the
process of obtaining bids for the
removal and/or treatment of these
trees. The Board will then discuss
their plan of action and the timeframe in which they propose to have
this work done. Further information
will be provided in future issues of
the Reflections and via the community’s eMail Bulletin system.
While
the
Association
moves forward with its EAB
Management Plan it is still
imperative that residents with
ash trees on their property
also make a plan of action. On
Page 3, we are providing information for homeowners to consider.
Additionally, we have information on
our website and will be continuing
to provide updates in future issues
of the Reflections.
Leaf Season and Resident Instructions
The beauty of
the coming season is thanks in
part, to the amazing color created
by the changing
leaves. When they fall though, what
do to? Monday, October 12, the
Radisson Maintenance Department
will begin Leaf Collection. During
this season and until the weather
causes them to stop, loose leaves and
paper Yard Bags will be picked up.
Many residents prefer the bags so
that leaves don’t blow around after
being raked. This also keeps them
from ending up in the street or gutters and water system. Thanks to
Baldwinsville Village Ace Hardware,
we are able to offer paper Yard Bags
to residents for just$1/bundle of 5,
that’s ½ the cost in the store! Just
stop by the RCA Office during our
regular hours: Monday-Friday 8am5pm.
If you choose to take advantage
of RCA’s loose leaf pickup service,
please carefully follow these instructions:
• Rake loose leaves into narrow
piles on your property within three
(3) feet of the curb. These will be
picked up using a ‘leaf vac’ machine.
In order for the machine to function
properly, do not rake twigs, mulch or
other debris into these piles.
• Do NOT rake leaves into road;
they must remain on your property. Leaves in the road are a multifaceted hazard. They are a tremendous safety concern for drivers. The
unkempt leaves contribute heavily
to drainage issues. Excess leaf litter
is also responsible in part, for water
quality issues in surrounding areas.
Collection during this season is
Yard Maintenance
and Our Water
Systems
S t o rm wat e r
is water from rain or melting snow
that doesn’t soak into the ground,
but runs off into waterways. It flows
from rooftops, over paved areas and
bare soil, and through sloped lawns.
Flowing storm water collects and
transports soil, animal wastes, pesticides, fertilizers, oil and grease,
debris and other potential pollutants. We may not be thinking of surrounding waters much at this time of
year, but the actions we take now can
have a profound impact on what we
will experience in the future.
When leaves and yard clippings
are allowed to drift or are raked into
the street, the debris can clog storm
drains, leading to flooding. The
leaves and clippings then make their
way to local streams and retention
ponds and release nutrients that contribute to accelerated algae growth.
There are many other factors that
contribute to water quality problems
in our retention ponds and in the
entire storm water system. There are
some simple practices everyone can
follow to help mitigate these issues:
• Pick up after your pet and dispose of waste in garbage can.
• Don’t feed waterfowl – large
numbers of birds create large quantities of waste.
• Limit use of salt on your driveway and walkways.
• Limit use of fertilizer, pesticide
and herbicides.
These suggestions are intended
for all residents, not just those who
live in close proximity to a retention
pond. The above information came
from the CNY Stormwater Coalition. For additional suggestions, go
to their website at www.cnyrpdb.org.

Check the website for daily updates
on the current pick-up location and
prepare leaf piles/bags as pick-up
approaches your street. Different
equipment is used for the bags vs
the loose leaves, so please keep this
in mind. Also, there will be no further brush pickup and Brush Trailer
Service is not available.

Emerald Ash Borer
The
natural beauty of the
trees in our community is remarkable. They are an integral part of the
look and feel of the Radisson Community. They enhance our common
property areas as well as many residents’ yards. The impending arrival
of the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB)
is a daunting concern for anyone
who has ash trees. As a homeowner
in Central New York, do you have a
plan for addressing the infestation of
the Emerald Ash Borer? The Cornell Cooperative Extension provides
the following list as things for homeowners to consider.
Know your ash trees.
Know your property lines
Determine your management
strategy.
Know where the nearest infestation is.
Determine your treatment options.
Not all trees will respond the
same to treatment.
Beware of guarantees to save
your trees.
Know the signs and symptoms
of EAB.
Get involved in your community.

Governor Signs Legislation for Hearing Impaired
A Column by State Senator John A. DeFrancisco
Senator John A.
DeFrancisco (R-IC, Syracuse) today
announced that
his bill (S 5533-B),
which would enable individuals who are
deaf or hard of hearing to better participate in court proceedings, has been signed
by Governor Cuomo. This act shall take
effect 13 days after it becomes a law.
This new law will require that statefunded courts provide Communication
Access Realtime Translation (CART) to
individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. CART is the instant translation
of the spoken word into text. Through
CART, everything said and transcribed
by the court reporter during a court
proceeding would be translated through
a software feed into real-time captioning,
then displayed on an individual computer
screen or monitor for the deaf or hard of
hearing person to view.
“I am very pleased that Governor
Cuomo decided to sign my bill. The right
to participate in court proceedings is
among the most fundamental in our legal
system. Courts must take the necessary
steps to ensure that deaf and hard of hearing individuals are not denied the right to
be heard,” said Senator DeFrancisco.
Legislation to Enhance Airport Security Signed
News From Congressman John Katko
Congressman
Delivers Bipartisan
Legislative Results
Early in First Term
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The
Gerardo Hernandez Airport Security
Act, bipartisan legislation introduced
by U.S. Rep. John Katko (NY-24),
has been signed into Public Law by
President Obama. Of the twelve bills
that Representative Katko has introduced in the House of Representatives
this Congress, this bill is the first that
has been signed into law.
“I’m proud to announce that the
President has signed into law this
important, bipartisan legislation to mitigate threats at our nation’s airports,”
said U.S. Rep. John Katko. “Named
in honor of the TSA agent who tragically lost his life in the November 2013
shooting at Los Angeles International
Airport, this measure will allow for better coordination by our state, local, and
federal law enforcement in responding
to and assessing threats.”
Since taking office in January, Rep.
Katko has focused on fighting through
Washington gridlock to deliver bipartisan legislative outcomes. To date,
Katko has introduced twelve bills, four
of which have passed the U.S. House of
Representatives. As Chairman of the
House Homeland Security Committee’s
Transportation Security subcommittee,
he has worked in a bipartisan manner to
lead the Committee’s efforts to address
gaps in the Transportation Security
Administration’s (TSA) employee
access screening and vetting procedures,
and as a result, has put forth legislation
prioritizing the safety of travel for all
Americans.
“While there is still much to be done
to enhance security measures at airports nationwide, increasing preparedness requirements will go a long way
in helping to ensure that the traveling
public is kept safe,” concluded Katko.
“Coordination by local law enforcement,
emergency first responders, and TSA
is the first step towards helping our
nation’s transportation systems overcome the challenges experienced during
the LAX shooting.”
The legislation requires enhanced
security and communication at airports
nationwide. Specifically, it requires
TSA to verify that all airports and
high-risk surface transportation hubs
have an appropriate security response
plan in place to effectively train for
and respond to security incidents when
they occur. Further, it will ensure that
emergency communications equipment
is regularly tested and that emergency
first-responders are able to communicate with each other and the public during a major security incident.
Katko commended his colleagues on
both sides of the aisle for their work on
this effort, noting that that the legislation not only improves airport security
but also demonstrates that Washington
can still work in a bipartisan way.
Alongside his efforts on the House
Committee on Homeland Security, Rep.
Katko has introduced and championed
district-inspired legislation to stimulate local tourism, develop the nation’s
first Mesothelioma Patient Registry Act,
secure our northern border, and prevent
the IRS from wasting taxpayer dollars.
Click here for video of Rep. Katko’s
remarks on this legislation on the floor
of the U.S. House of Representatives
last week after the bill passed both the
U.S. House of Representatives and the
U.S. Senate.
Congressman John Katko chairs the
House Homeland Security Committee’s
Subcommittee on Transportation
Security. He represents the 24thCongressional District of New York, which
includes all of Onondaga, Cayuga,
and Wayne Counties, and a portion of
Oswego County. For more information,

Program Provides Assistance to Caregivers
News From Assemblyman Will Barclay
In New York
State, approximately 3 million
caregivers provide
more than 2.6 billion hours of care to loved ones each
year. According to the New York State
Office of the Aging, the economic value
of this care is $32 billion. A family caregiver’s commitment often allows loved
ones to stay out of nursing homes or
assisted living, and in familiar surroundings close to family and loved ones.
Locally, the Offices of the Aging can
assist and provide recommendations for
a variety of programs related to health
care, nutrition, and counseling to assist
caregivers. These offices also can assist
caregivers with NY Connects--a service
to potential consumers of long-term
care and their caregivers.
Expanded In-Home Services for the
Elderly Program (EISEP) is one such
program that is administered at the local
level and funded by New York State.
EISEP provides non-medical support
services for older adults who are not
Page 10
eligible for services through Medicaid.
The program assists with things like
dressing, bathing, personal care, shopping and cooking, and can temporarily
relieve the primary caregiver. EISEP
enables those 60 and older to stretch
their private resources and to delay
nursing-home level care. This year the
program received $50 million in state
funding. I was pleased to support this in
the budget. It is an income-based program, which means that clients provide
income information and a percentage is
paid through the program for the client
based on their income level.
Being a family caregiver comes
with some rights and authority, particularly when dealing with doctors, and
social service agencies. Knowing your
rights as a caregiver can alleviate stress.
Through use of a health care proxy and/
or power of attorney, family caregivers have the right to get information
about a family member’s condition from
healthcare providers if permitted by
the loved one. Family caregivers also
have a right to be involved in decision
Reflections, October 9, 2015
making about a family member’s care,
again, as long as they are permitted. If
a loved one has been in the hospital,
treatments may continue at home and
it’s important that the family caregiver
understands things like administering
medicine, providing oxygen treatments,
or helping their loved one to follow
a specific diet. To learn more, visit
the U.S. Health and Human Services
guide on health information privacy at
http://1.usa.gov/1Fj9gYa
The need for a family caregiver(s)
can be triggered by an emergency event
or a steady decline of a loved one’s
health or mind. If the Office of the
Aging is notified before a loved one is
discharged from the hospital, for example, they can help ensure that caregivers
have access to things like a wheelchair
or any other medical equipment. There
are also a number of support groups
available such as Alzeihmer’s Support
groups and those who are caring for
those with cancer.
The Offices of the Aging is also the
best place to find more information on
EISEP and many other programs such
as Senior Nutrition Program, transportation, legal referrals, health insurance
information counseling and other outreach program. Oswego County residents may call (315) 349-3484. Jefferson
County residents may call (315) 7853191 and Onondaga County residents
may call (315) 435-2362 for information.
There are also several programs under
NY Connects, a searchable database,
that can be accessed at https://211cny.
com. Caregivers of all kinds can find
information specific to a situation.

or if you would like to be added to my
mailing list or receive my newsletter,
please contact my office. My office can
