MISSING “This creature found its way onto our shore today.... This turtle's shell is approximately 18-20" long and he has huge paws....neither of us has ever seen one this big at the lake…” Bob Gulotty and Fran McGee. This is a real old-timer. Any experts out there want to give a little more details? Stolen from south side, between 8th and 9th Street, the mate to this concrete swan, sometime on the morning of July 3rd, in broad daylight right next to Route 9P. There is a $250 reward for arrest and conviction. PLEASE contact Joseph DiDonna Sr., 56 <strong>Shore</strong> Ave at 248-2424, or Saratoga County Sheriffs Office. Bob and Maria Daviero hosted their beautiful granddaughter’s first birthday party on July 4th. Ella Rosalie Daviero’s party was amazing with 75 people to celebrate Independence Day and their grandbaby's birthday. The kids had so much fun on the bouncy bounce, in the little swimming pools (adults were cooling off in the little pools too-it was quite the sight to see!), and in the lake. Ella is the daughter of Jordan and Melissa Daviero. (submitted by Maria Daviero)
Town of Stillwater working on Disaster Preparations The Town of Stillwater has an Emergency Management Planning Committee that has been meeting for 8 years. The committee represents both the Town and the Village in addressing planning issues in the event of a community emergency or disaster and is positively supported by the elected officials in both jurisdictions. The members of the committee are a diverse group made up of town and village residents, members of the first response community including the town and village fire departments, members of the town and village board, civic organizations, the Community Center, National Park, the Town Highway and Police departments, Saratoga Lake Association, church groups, school facilities, the National Weather Service and mental health professional. The current chairman of the Committee is Tom Rinaldi who is a 45 year member of the fire service and retired from New York State after 27 years with 12 years at the Office of Emergency Management in various capacities including Deputy Director. Over the past 8 years the Committee has performed a hazard analysis for the Town and Village and as a result has adopted a Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan to provide guidance in the event of an emergency or disaster. The comprehensive plan includes planning guidelines and legal authorities to emergency response, preparedness activities, a response plan and a recovery plan. Guidance includes job descriptions for an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and guidance for declaring a state of emergency. In addition to the comprehensive plan, the committee has also developed several attachments including a Shelter Plan, a Pet Shelter Plan, a Mental Health Plan, a Donations Management/Volunteer Resource Management Plan and several other guidance documents used during response and recovery operations. The committee meets monthly at the Stillwater Fire District, Arvin Hart Main Station. Meetings cover status of annual goals, discussion of recent emergency management related events and training on how to respond to incidents. During the 2 nd half of 2013, the committee will discuss emergency related scenarios that will challenge the group to consider how to best manage emergencies. The Town has also incorporated a space at the new Town Hall to be used as an EOC if necessary. The committee welcomes members of the community and of community organizations who would like to be able to assist the community during emergencies. This is not a response organization, the goal is to provide coordination, communication continued next column and cooperation among all of the response groups, agencies and organizations during an event. The EOC serves two main purposes, collect and disseminate correct information and to assign mission requests to the appropriate agencies or organizations. The purpose of emergency management is to provide a unified and coordinated response to the residents of the community. An important accomplishment of the Committee has been the development of a Shelter Plan and working with the Stillwater Area Community Center to develop an internal response plan to establish shelter services at the Community Center. The Community Center staff has also worked with the Red Cross to learn how to properly staff and manage a general population shelter. Information will be forthcoming to let residents know when to go to a shelter, what to bring, what not to bring and what to expect. Operating adjacent to the shelter is a Pet Shelter since pets are not allowed in a general population shelter. Over the last 8 years the members of the committee have been exposed to the emergency planning process and have come to understand what it takes to respond to and manage an emergency event. The team has been reminded many times that when a community disaster occurs all hands will be needed and additional resources will likely be requested from State and Federal agencies. We encourage all residents to develop their own emergency plan to be self sufficient for at a minimum of 48 hours with sufficient food, water, medicines, and the necessary supplies to cope with various weather conditions.
