A number of local officials from various groups including Town Councilors Bill Davern and Mark Kolinski visited the Ottawa River site in Toledo, Ohio which has many similarities to the project headed to Wastebed 13 in Camillus. The Ottawa River site is about 1500 feet from residents with a similar composition of sediment, although a much smaller scale.

Surfing around I noticed that the Village of Camillus had updated tthe look of their website. http://villageofcamillus-ny.gov/
But I saw that the Village Logo still refers to Camillus Cutlery which has been gone since 2005. 
Perhaps someone reading this has some artistic talent and would like to submit something to the Village? Just a thought.

Wait – Didn’t Dan Maffei claim victory election night?
s expected, Buerkle added to her lead, receiving 790 votes from the Wayne County ballots. Maffei received 521 votes.
While Abigail Gardner, a spokeswoman for Maffei, said the campaign would have no comment on Sunday, Buerkle’s campaign issued a statement saying they will let the process play out before declaring victory.
“We are pleased with the numbers released by Wayne County today. There is another court hearing set for Tuesday morning, and we will wait to hear Judge DeJoseph’s determination now that all absentee ballots in New York’s 25th Congressional District have been counted.
While we remain confident that Ann Marie Buerkle will emerge the victor, we need to allow the process to proceed as set forth in the original court proceedings initiated by the Maffei campaign.”
