Garnar, Broome County Executive • Volume 49 Number 8 • AUGUST 2021 Visit Our Website at www.gobroomecounty.com/senior Age Well This August Inside this Issue… Each year in the month of August, we celebrate National Senior Citizens Day. In 1988, President Ronald Reagan first declared this day of recognition to be observed annually on August 21. Through the years, it has become a time to reflect upon the achievements and contributions of older adults throughout their lives. In the spirit of this special occasion, the August edition of the Senior News is dedicated to the many opportunities we have to “age well” by caring for our minds and bodies in manageable ways each day. We invite you to read on for tips on aging well through a balance of rest and movement, good hydration and nutrition, volunteering and socializing, and expressing gratitude for a happier outlook. Poet Maya Angelou once said simply and wisely, “I love that I’m alive to love my age.” Make a point to love your age this August, and please join us at the Office for Aging in celebrating the value of older adults in our community on National Senior Citizens Day!

  • ORDER DIRECTING OVERLAY of the 315 AREA CODE REGION (Issued and Effective July 17, 2015)
    STATE OF NEW YORK PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION At a session of the Public Service Commission held in the City of New York on July 16, 2015 COMMISSIONERS PRESENT: Audrey Zibelman, Chair Patricia L. Acampora Gregg C. Sayre Diane X. Burman, concurring CASE 07-C-1486 – Proceeding on Motion of the Commission, Pursuant to Section 97(2) of the Public Service Law, to Institute a Proceeding to Investigate and Evaluate Options for Making Additional Central Office Codes Available in the 315 Area Code Region. ORDER DIRECTING OVERLAY OF THE 315 AREA CODE REGION (Issued and Effective July 17, 2015) BY THE COMMISSION: INTRODUCTION In this Order, we conclude a proceeding to examine the alternative forms of relief available to address a projected shortage or exhaustion of the numbering resources in the 315 area code. The 315 area code is located within all or part of 18 counties in north central New York.1 Much of the population lives in Syracuse and its suburbs, while other major population centers include Utica and Watertown. If numbering resources, now constrained, were to become unavailable, economic activity and the general welfare of those who live in the area would be compromised. Through this Order, we take action to assure that the forecasted shortage in numbering resources, and the hardship which such a shortage would impose, will not occur. 1 The counties are: Cayuga, Chenango, Cortland, Fulton, Hamilton, Herkimer, Jefferson, Lewis, Madison, Oneida, Onondaga, Ontario, Oswego, Otsego, Saint Lawrence, Seneca, Wayne, and Yates. CASE 07-C-1486 In accordance with the authority delegated to this Commission by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC),2 we conclude on the record before us that additional numbering resources to support the continued and ready availability of telephone numbers in the area currently served by the 315 area code should be provided through an "overlay" code and direct public education efforts regarding area code changes as discussed in detail herein.
