News Briefs The Omentum Project: Zoom Event and Study The Omentum Project aims to improve the quality of life for cancer survivors living without an omentum through awareness, education and informal research. The omentum is an organ in the abdominal cavity which is part of the immune system and lymphatic system. It is standard protocol to remove the omentum in certain cancer staging surgeries such as ovarian cancer and survival rates are higher when the organ is removed. However, there are some long-term ramifications for women living without it. The Omentum Project is conducting a study to determine if there’s a difference in symptoms after consuming a salty food. Participation in the study involves a one-time, three-hour home experiment eating a specific salty food and reporting on specific measures before and after. Join the online event on Zoom on Sunday, Sept. 17 from 2-5:15pm. Registration: theomentumproject.org. Participation is confidential and unknown to other participants. This is an Institutional Review Board approved research study. For questions related to the IRB review, contact Emily Spinner, IRB administrator at Ellis Hospital. For questions, contact Meg Wilkinson: theomentumproject@gmail.com.

Capital Region Aquatic Center picks ViaPort Mall The Capital Region Aquatic Center is constructing a swimming, training and diving complex at the ViaPort Mall in Rotterdam, next to the former Kmart. Backers of the center have signed a letter of intent to lease more than 80,000 square feet at the ViaPort Rotterdam Mall as the future home of a $36 million swimming and diving complex that is projected to attract thousands of swimmers and inject more than $9 million into the local economy annually. The nonprofit organization has signed a non-binding letter of intent to lease ViaPort property for 10 years with options for up to 20 additional years. Once a contract is finalized, it is expected to include an option to purchase the property. The aquatic center group has been fundraising and searching for a location in the Capital Region for a decade. The ViaPort location makes a lot of sense because it already is equipped with utilities, curb cuts and 2,000 parking spaces right off Interstate 890, creating easy access for local, regional and national visitors. The plans are to build a complex with three pools, including an Olympic-sized 50-meter pool and diving platform. The center will be designed to host large competitions in addition to offering swimming, training and physical therapy programs for children, adults, veterans and people with special needs. The project is modeled after the Greensboro Aquatic Center built 12 years ago in Greensboro, N.C. DEC’s Forest Preserve Work Plan Policy NYS DEC announced the finalization of the Commissioner Policy 78, the Forest Preserve Work Plan Policy. This will serve as a guide for newly proposed projects and the evaluation of their site-specific impacts to the environment and character of the Adirondack and Catskill Forest Preserves. “The Adirondacks and Catskills continue to experience significant numbers of visitors and this new policy, finalized with input from New Yorkers, stakeholders, and other partners, will provide DEC with the proper guidance when evaluating potential projects and any environmental impacts to the Forest Preserve,” says Commissioner Basil Seggos. The policy establishes procedures for assessing the impacts of construction and maintenance activities on the Forest Preserve and for drafting site-specific work plans. With the adoption of this new policy, DEC’s previous Forest Preserve tree-cutting policy, Cutting, Removal or Destruction of Trees and Endangered, Threatened or Rare Plants on Forest Preserve Lands, is officially being rescinded. The new policy formalizes DEC’s assessment of construction and maintenance activities beyond just the identification of vegetation impacts to include a more holistic analysis of all potential impacts to the Forest Preserve, with an emphasis on identifying ways to avoid, minimize and mitigate such impacts. Protected by the NYS Constitution as “forever wild,” the Forest Preserve comprises state lands in the Adirondack and Catskill parks. Providing a welcoming and accessible experience while preserving the wild setting of the Forest Preserve continues to be a priority for DEC, and CP-78 will allow staff to design and evaluate projects to meet these important objectives.
