the love Valentines build community connections By Lucretia Hudzinski Liverpool Chamber of Commerce Who would believe that a simple ask of valentines
for seniors would turn into a community connection? The Liverpool Chamber of Commerce asked the community, through its membership, for valen-
tines for its member organizations - North Area and Baldwinsville Meals on Wheels, Parkrose Estates, Elderwood at Liverpool, Brookdale Liverpool and

Over 1,000 valentines have been received, from many businesses, schools, day cares and individuals. It is the stories that came with the valentines that touched our hearts.

Snowball visits Salina seniors
Union asked her church, Faith Lutheran, to make valentines for this project, one parishioner Made cloth valentine coasters and the children made cards. Aging advocates had children from Roxboro Elementary School, Tecumseh Elementary School,Elbridge Elementary School and Immaculate Conception School make numerous valentines. One child wrote, “Hope this cheers you up!” Others wrote: “Spread love every-
where.” “I hope you have a great day!” “I hope you receive presents.” Many wrote, “I love you.” These and many other stories of connections touched our hearts at the Liverpool Chamber. What started as a project to send to seniors what may be their only valentine became a project of love, outreach and care. That is why Liverpool is the place to live and do business.

Snowball paid a visit to the Salina Town Hall senior group at their meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 7. Snowball is the baby bear of the furry trio of Winterfest bear mascots. HONY bear (which stands for Heart Of New York,) the first of the three bears, made the Winterfest scene in 1987. Soon to follow was Huggie bear, whom he married in a Winterfest wedding ceremony in 1989. Snowball was introduced to the public in 2000. The bear mascots will be making their appearance in various Winterfest events this month. “Come out and and join this year’s family-friendly activities” said Bill Cooper, Winterfest president. “There is something for everyone at Syracuse Winterfest” The event runs from February16 to 26.

The town of Cicero is considering an application for a community solar project on Mud Mill Road that could power about 1,000 homes. Last Wednesday, the town hosted a public hearing on the project that brought out a number of residents both in favor and opposed to the project. The property, at 7570 Mud Mill Road, is owned by Donald Harwood, a local farmer who has been involved with a number of community organizations over the years. The Solar l Page 10

Several of those who voiced opposition to the solar array on Mud Mill Road cited this array on nearby McKinley Road. Mike Harwood, whose father owns the property on Mud Mill Road, said the proposed project would be “nothing like other projects in our area.”
