They often arrive with appreciation for all who helped and relief that the long, long process of planning, packing, and moving is over. That's how the staff at the Tompkins County Health Department (TCHD) _lift_ A, feel as they settle into their new buildin g at 55 Brown Road near the ' Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport. On July 16 the Tompkins County Health Department closed the doors to its offices on 401 Harris B. Dates Drive, once a tuberculosis hospital for children. Following a number of studies, it was determined the building no longer adequately served the program needs of the department. Renovations would be costly, and the County Legislature decided that a new location was necessary. After the Brown Road location was identified, there were many construction and renovation delays. (The initial move was slated for early 2009.) The building at 55 Brown Road was completely renovated and is expected to be LEED certified with Silver status — an intemationally recognized green building certification system. Certification is based on metrics such as energy savings, water efficiency, and improved indoor environmental air quality, among others. The building was vacant for several years; Cornell University Alumni Affairs and Development was the previous occupant. . >. - • When asked what they like most about the new building, staffs first response is about the ease and efficiency of delivering services to the community. Karen Bishop, Supervising Community Health Nurse, said that her team is able to schedule more appointments simultaneously because there are more patient rooms available. Clients in NMI I f i need of a rabies shot, a child immunization, and a pre -natal care appointment can :-• � ,�. „ . I receive care at the same time; in the old building, only one patient room was available. _ _ - o: - David Warmbrodt is Vitals Deputy Registrar (birth and death certificates). He notes that on 55 Brown Road is a more convenient location for many of his customers. People from the University in need of a copy of a birth certificate, find TCHD easily accessible. He also said that the birth and death records that TCHD is required to store are now in a much more secure and safe location and are in less danger of water damage or destruction than they were at the Dates Drive location. The Children with Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN) division is also able to accommodate its clients better. The program now has an evaluation room on site for those times when it is not appropriate to evaluate children in their own home. Sylvia Allinger, Director of CSHCN appreciates the conference room that is available to meet with parents and the "lending closet" of therapeutic toys and equipment available to therapists. Andrea Smith, WIC Program Director, notes that WIC clients benefit from a separate waiting area that is more comfortable for parents and children. WIC also has better facilities for child health evaluations. The Environmental Health (EH) Division now has a room dedicated to important files and records, allowing efficient storage and retrieval. Summer is a busy time in EH. Now there is room and computer access for temporary staff that assist with rabies control, temporary food permits, and sewage prints during that time of year. The Division now has a separate area to process rabies specimens and water samples; that work was previously done in a kitchen area in the old building. Liz Cameron, the Director of Environmental Health, said that the new facility provides easier customer access and there are safety and security improvements that are beneficial. Emergency preparedness is now part of the business of public health. The new location has the space, security, and access that the old location did not provide. For example, TCHD is now able to hold emergency immunization clinics that can accommodate a large number of people efficiently. It also has improved computer and telephone capability essential in times of emergencies. Except for a few finishing touches, such as room signs and bulletin boards that need to be hung, the move is complete. Many thanks to the Facilities Division for the smooth transition, and to IT staff who worked over the weekend to have our phones and computers ready to go when we arrived for work on Monday, July 19t Be Aware. Be Prepared! OS CO By Beth Harrington, Assistant Director, Department of Emergency Response �Q VA September marked National Preparedness Month —a time to promote awareness of ,,0 . f ��� simple steps that people can take to prepare for emergencies in their homes, E91 1 businesses, and communities. Emergency preparedness is everyone's FIRE POLICE responsibility, for emergencies of any type, large or small, can happen at any time, EMS RESCUE any place and to anyone. Preparedness can save lives and minimize the impacts Dispatcn iitnaca Center IQ of an emergency on those involved. Emergencies and disasters always begin � locally and end locally. *1 O� Only about 57% of Americans report that they have readiness items set aside in FII CY R E`' Q their homes for use in a disaster, less than half of the population have a family or business emergency plan, and yet 42% of that same population say they would need help in an emergency. Preparedness activities can be grouped into four simple steps: Put together an emergency supply kit, make a family emergency plan, be prepared to help a neighbor, and work as a team to keep everyone safe. National and intemational disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina, the earthquake in Haiti, forest fires in California and the Broome County floods in 2006, are reported almost daily, yet an emergency doesn't have to be that large -scale to disrupt the daily lives of our citizens. Fires and motor vehicle crashes are common occurrences and meet the definition of "an emergency" which is a serious situation or occurrence that happens unexpectedly and demands immediate action. Nor is Tompkins County immune to disasters such as winter storms, flooding, hazardous materials accidents and major power outages. It is important to highlight the need for individuals, families and businesses to be self - reliant during emergencies. By being prepared as individuals, we free up valuable resources, enabling our first responders to assist those who are in the greatest need. Self- reliance extends to helping neighbors and friends, if you can. It is much more likely that your friends or neighbors will reach you first, than emergency responders. You can also prepare by getting involved in your community; check with your local fire department to see if you can help, leam first aid and CPR, and work with other community groups to see how they could help in an emergency. Talk with your municipal officials about their emergency planning efforts for your community. There are many great resources available on emergency preparedness. Locally, the website www.TompkinsReady.orq is maintained by the County's Department of Emergency Response and its primary function is to share preparedness information. The local chapter of the American Red Cross in Ithaca not only distributes preparedness information, it also offers classes in first aid and CPR. You can It download Family Emergency Plan templates and Emergency Supply Kit checklists at www.readv.00v 1 We encourage the citizens of Tompkins County to work together, neighbor to neighbor, to support each other in planning and preparing for disaster. Unfortunately, we don't get to pick the next disaster, so it's important for our communities to be informed about the threats and the they face. Plan Now ... Work Together ... Be Ready! 1 r ' i J 2 Please Help...Through the United Way United • From Martha Robertson — Chair, Tompkins County Legislature / Legislator, Town of Dryden Way How often do we say: "It could be worse "? Times are tough for everyone, but if you look around just a little, you're pretty sure to see someone else with even more challenges and fewer resources. That's where United Way comes in. With the help of everyone in our community, United Way is there for the people who need our help the most. They hold out the safety net, without a lot of fanfare or recognition, every day of the year. This is the lime of year when United Way comes to us for the resources to do just that. Every one of us has a role to play in strengthening the net, and I ask you to help. Please pledge your support with your contribution to United Way of Tompkins County. I hope you'll fill out your pledge card right away, and not put it aside to think about later. Every gift makes a difference for someone in our own community. Thank you very much for your generosity. Everyone, Every Year By Karen Bishop, RN, BS, Health Department Everyone, every year should get a flu vaccination! That's the latest recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. On February 24, 2010 vaccine experts recommended that everyone 6 months of age and older should get a flu vaccine each year starting with the 2010 -2011 flu season. The single best way to protect against the flu is to get vaccinated each year. There are two types of vaccine. The "flu shot" contains killed virus that is given with a needle, usually in the arm. The flu shot is approved for use in people older than 6 months, including healthy people and people with chronic medical conditions. The "nasal -spray flu vaccine" contains live, weakened flu viruses that do not cause the flu and is approved for use in healthy people 2 -49 years of age who are not pregnant and do not have chronic medical conditions. The flu vaccine contains three flu viruses. The viruses in the vaccine change each year based on international surveillance and scientific experts' estimations about which types and strains of viruses will circulate each year. This flu season the H1N1 flu virus strain is included in the seasonal flu vaccine so there will be no need for separate vaccinations for seasonal flu and H1N1 flu. Flu vaccinations can begin as early as September or as soon as the vaccine is available and continue well into the winter months. This is because the timing and duration of flu seasons vary. While flu outbreaks can occur as early as October, most of the time flu activity peaks in January or later. Once vaccinated, it takes approximately two weeks to develop enough immunity to protect you against the flu. Contrary to popular belief, the flu vaccine does not give you the flu. Learn more about the flu by visiting our website at www.tomokins- co.ora /health /flu. The Tompkins County Health Department will conduct public flu clinics by appointment this fall for anyone 6 months of age and older at various community sites including at their new building located at 55 Brown Road near the airport. County employees can make an appointment at a flu clinic of their choice including a county employee only clinic at Department of Social Service on October 20. County employment identification will be required at your clinic appointment. Retirees can also make an appointment and will need to bring their Medicare card. Remember, everyone, every year should get a flu vaccination. Make your flu appointment by calling the Tompkins County Health Department Flu Hotline at 274-6609 during normal business hours. 3 Sustainability Spotlight: Environmentally Preferred Procurement (EPP) By Kat McCarthy, Solid Waste Management Division The Tompkins County Environmentally Preferred Procurement (EPP) sub - committee is here to assist County departments in implementation of Tompkins County Policy: 06 -15- Waste Reduction and Resource Management. This policy requires departments to purchase recycled and other environmentally preferable products wherever practicable. To help County departments with this policy, this sub -committee of the Tompkins County Sustainability Team compiles and distributes useful information on the latest and greatest eco- preferred products. Already, the sub-committee has taken steps to green departmental supply closets by developing an EPP Resource Guide, distributing sample products, and organizing a vendor fair. • Look in future issues of the County Corridors for updates from the EPP sub- PINE Ilr committee, as well as useful tips and reminders related to "green" purchasing. We A f hope you find this information useful and that it enables our County to make a at i: ` V-0; i ■•■ name for itself as a leader in environmentally preferred procurement.

PD F 4 Managing Household Nonpoint Source Pollution Nonpoint source pollution is a contributor to water pollution and originates from many sources. It is not always an obvious pollutant such as a discharge from a pipe. Rather, it can originate from unsuspected places such as your yard or driveway. This pollution can be picked up by rain or snow melt and eventually it is transported to lakes, streams, wells, wetlands and groundwater. Nonpoint source pollution can be harmful to humans, wildlife, and fish due to excessive pathogens, sedimentation and nutrients. Pathogens include harmful viruses and bacteria which can cause illness. They can originate from untreated sewage. Excessive silt and dirt sedimentation can effect aquatic life and cause unhealthy habitats. Nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphates can cause algae bloom, fish kills or enter drinkingwater supplies causing illness. Even small changes around your home can make a difference. Walk around your yard and observe if there are some things you can do to help manage this pollution. Management can be an important way individuals can contribute to the reduction of pollution in their community: • Pump your septic tank regularly (Every 3-4 years is recommended, yearly if you have a garbage disposal). If you have a failed sewage system have it fixed quickly and properly to eliminate excessive runoff of harmful pathogens. • Use phosphates free detergents and non -toxic household chemicals. Do not pour unwanted chemicals down the drain, dispose of properly. • Conserve water. Install watersaver toilets, faucets and showerheads. Replace or repair leaking faucets. Excessive water use can put a strain on your sewage system causing overloading. • Make sure your vehicles are well maintained and not leaking. Used motor oil and antifreeze should never be put down a sewage system, drainage ditches or storm drains. Contact your local garage or recycling center for disposal of automobile fluids.[www.recycletompkins.org] • Limit paved surfaces on your property. Driveways, parking lots and sidewalks block rain and snow melt from percolating into the ground. Rain water and snow melt can then create a faster run off which can cause excessive sedimentation into streams and lakes. f Oil and grease from your driveway can also get swept into this runoff. • Be mindful of what does goes down the storm drain. Rake leaves from the driveway and • put them in a compost bin so they will not get carried down to receiving waters. ~. • Use a rain barrel to catch water coming from roof gutters to water plants. Create a Rain Garden. Purchase plants that require a minimum requirement of pesticides and fertilizer.

It's time to light the fire again to tell our friends and relatives, neighbors, fellow church - goers, to VISIT THE DMV IN ITHACA, NY, TO DO ALL THEIR DMV BUSINESS. The county derives 12.7% of all revenue directly received by our office. NYSDMV encourages you to "mail it in to their center," or "go online." Renewals done by mail or online, for instance, deprive us of that 12.7% income. New York State DMV does not share any of that revenue. Let's keep this great office open! And don't forget: No need to stand in line if you're a county employee. Send us your DMV work via inter -office mail; we will return it to you within one day's time. Keep our hard -earned money in Tompkins County!! Support your local DMV office. Thank you.

Solid Waste Management Division On Labor Day, September 6th, at Cortland Memorial Hospital at 12:15 a.m., a baby girl, Adrienne Irene was bom, 8 pounds 14 ounces, and 22 inches long, and her Grandmother, Linnett Short, is very proud and happy to have such a beautiful baby join her family. 1 Highway Highlights By Bill Sczesny, Highway Manager Chip Seals: Why does the Highway Division apply chip seals on its roads? The answer is that the process waterproofs the pavement surface. Chip seal is a relatively inexpensive process that prevents water from working its way down through the pavement into the sub -base material. The pavement is swept, and a thin layer of heated emulsion is sprayed on the pavement surface. Then, a thin layer of native stone or limestone is applied and rolled with a rubber -tired roller. A few days after the application, the road is swept to remove the loose stone. 7 Employee Spotlights Will VanDeMark Will VanDeMark Heavy Equipment Operator in the Highway Division, has worked for Tompkins County for 26 years, previously serving as a Motor Equipment Operator. Will responded to the following questions from County Corridors ,j. What do you do here (your job dudes)? t ' Operate tractor - trailer, move equipment to job sites, and other duties assigned. It What do you like best about your job? The satisfaction of knowing I did my best for the customers and myself. What do you like least about your job? Rain, snow and ice. What is your favorite thing to do outside of work? Motorcycling with family and friends, and "bubba-qing," trying different recipes. If you ran the world, what is the first thing you would do? That's a tough question, with not enough space of time to answer here. Stephanie Egan - Engels Stephanie Egan - Engels is Project Assistant and Communications Assistant in the Solid Waste Management Division and has worked for Tompkins County for almost four years. Stephanie responded to the following questions from County Corr What do you do here (your job duties)? 1 Assist to provide advertising, education, and other public communications for the 1 Division. I created educational displays and public information. I organized public events held by Solid Waste, including: a Formal and Prom gown exchange, and a local America Recycles Day celebration. I also provide information and participate in the Go Green Initiative in all of Tompkins County schools, at public events and through tours of the Recycling and Solid Waste Center. I help design and update our website. What do you like best about your job? There are always new projects, things to work on, and people to work with— grants, brochures, events, or other projects. What do you like least about your job? Managing multiple projects. I have tons of lists and ways to try to keep track of everything. It gets better each time, but maybe it's a new way, too, to try and make things more efficient. You have to have patience with others and yourself. What is your favorite thing to do outside of work? Work on my 150 -year old -farm and farm house and spending time with my husband, Ryan, and my cat, Scarlet. If you ran the world, what is the first thing you would do? Get rid of money. I'd love to see more people trading and bartering items, and leaming hands-on skills. Too much technology can take away from this experience. If we all lend a hand in what we are good at, there is no need for money. I think it would make things complicated. (Stephanie's supervisor, Linnett Short, remarks, "Stephanie has been a great assistant, willing to go out of her way to make sure our goals of education, promotion, and communication are met. She can be a little spit fire if she needs to be, and we are very lucky to have her in our Division." ) 8 VON C011111112 Upcoming trips (available to all Tompkins County Employees & Retirees, and their families): (Please visit the website, at www.tompkins- co.org /employee only /VendingConimitteeNews.pdf.)
