Recycler plans rattle snake lovers in Cicero
Edward Palmer seeks to open a 812 acre construction debris recycling facility at 7380 Eastman Road adjacent to the Cicero Swamp home to the massasauga rattlesnake endangered since 1983. The Cicero Planning Board has sent the proposal to county and state agencies for review with a decision expected at Wednesday’s meeting. Palmer argues controls will limit dust and runoff while selling pulverized material for bedding fuel and fiberboard, but snake advocates warn of habitat disruption and water contamination risks.

Perfect spring helps workers tidy parks
North Syracuse and Cicero parks departments praise an early warm season that allowed work crews to begin in April and finish tasks sooner. Officials note fewer winter damages and rely on a six to nine person spring crew plus volunteers to prepare seven parks and playing fields. The village contract for mowing, awarded to Baxter Enterprises at 24 310 per year for three years, frees staff for other maintenance tasks.

Memorial granite monument honors fallen Bridgeport firefighters
Bridgeport Fire Department unveiled a granite memorial Sunday to honor past members and boost auxiliary recruitment. The department formed in 1935 with about 50 members, and the Ladies Auxiliary explains that recruiting today is harder due to work and family commitments. The event, attended by around 50, supported by the auxiliary which raises funds for equipment and hall signage, also highlighted the shift to active fundraising by firefighters’ spouses and relatives.
