HAMILTON, N.Y. — Community Memorial Hospital (CMH) announced that it recently earned the Joint Commission’s gold seal of approval after its triennial survey.
The survey reviews the hospital’s compliance with its performance standards and awards accreditation as a symbol of quality that reflects a health-care organization’s commitment to providing safe and quality patient care, per a CMH news release.
Community Memorial underwent a “rigorous, unannounced onsite review” from Sept. 27-30. During the visit, a team of Joint Commission reviewers evaluated compliance with accreditation standards that included all parts of the CMH Health System including health centers in Cazenovia and Munnsville. The Hamilton, Waterville, and Morrisville health centers are designated as rural health centers by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and are not surveyed under the Joint Commission. During the inspection, surveyors selected patient medical records randomly and used the records as a roadmap to evaluate standards of compliance. The Joint Commission breaks down compliance into two levels: conditional and standard.
Community Memorial Hospital met the Joint Commission’s standards of compliance across the health-care system.
Community Memorial Hospital, a Crouse Health partner, says it is a critical-access hospital in Hamilton, serving Madison County along with parts of Chenango, Oneida, and Onondaga counties.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The “largest ever” federal investment in public-transit systems will provide millions of dollars for organizations serving communities in upstate New York.
Centro in the Syracuse area, TCAT in the Ithaca region, and BC Transit in the Binghamton area are among the public-transportation systems that will benefit.
The infrastructure measure (Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act) will provide $11 billion over the next five years for New York transit agencies, the office of U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D–N.Y.) said.
The funding includes about $74 million for Centro in both Syracuse and Utica–Rome ($55.8 million in Syracuse and $18.2 in Utica–Rome); more than $27 million for BC Transit in Binghamton; more than $8 million for CitiBus in Watertown; nearly $18 million for TCAT in Ithaca; and more than $10 million for C-TRAN in Elmira.
“The record-breaking $11 billion for [New York] transit agencies in the bipartisan infrastructure framework will boost jobs, build vital transit infrastructure and improve service for Upstate commuters,” Schumer said. “Transportation is what connects our communities and keeps the wheels of the local economy rolling. The bipartisan infrastructure deal is a greenlight for much needed progress and will pave the way for expanded service, good-paying jobs, more clean, zero-emission buses, and better accessibility for all.”

ROME, N.Y. — The Hayner Hoyt Corporation of Syracuse has started work on an $11.4 million project to build a new physician center on the Rome Health hospital campus.
The organization on Nov. 10 hosted a ceremonial demolition crew to break down walls. Rome Health expects the new physician center to open in late summer 2022.
The new physician center will bring together primary care, specialists, diagnostic testing, and pharmacy in one location for “enhanced convenience and accessibility,” Rome Health said in a release. It’s using funding from a New York State Transformation Grant to pay for the project.
Besides Hayner Hoyt, Rome Health has also selected King + King Architects of Syracuse to design the new physician center.
The project involves renovating existing administrative space on the ground floor and first floor and finishing the open space under the Bartlett Wing, which faces Black River Boulevard.
When complete, providers from the hospital’s affiliated practices will relocate to the new center. These include primary-care providers from Rome Medical Group and Delta Health Center, as well as many of the specialists from Rome Medical Practice.
“Many patients who are elderly or disabled often have difficulty when they have to go to multiple sites for their appointments and tests. This will make it easier for patients to get the care that they need,” AnneMarie Czyz, president and CEO of Rome Health, said.
Leading up to the project, some non-clinical departments and offices at the hospital have been relocated to different areas of the hospital or to off-site locations so it could prioritize the prime locations on the ground floor and first floor for the delivery of clinical patient care.
For example, the hospital’s medical-records department has moved to the 2nd floor of the Rome Medical Group building at 1801 Black River Blvd., effective Nov. 12. With the advancement of electronic-medical records, employees can manage the administrative work at an off-site location, while clinicians can still access the information that they need to care for patients electronically, Rome Health said.

SYRACUSE — Southwest Airlines Co. (NYSE: LUV) was scheduled to launch nonstop flights from Syracuse to Orlando, Florida on Saturday, Nov. 20, nearly a week after the airline started air service at Syracuse Hancock International Airport (SYR).
Southwest’s Syracuse service started Nov. 14 with the arrival of a Southwest flight from Baltimore.
Based in Dallas, Southwest describes itself as the world’s largest low-cost carrier.
As an incentive for offering air service to Syracuse, Southwest Airlines received marketing and operational credits under the Syracuse Regional Airport Authority (SRAA) Air Service Development incentive program, an SRAA spokesperson tells CNYBJ. The airport authority offered $150,000 in marketing support, terminal advertising, and operational credits for up to two years.
The Baltimore and Orlando routes increase to 27 the number of nonstop destinations available to Syracuse travelers. Southwest is offering three flights a day to Baltimore, while its Orlando route will operate once weekly, flown each Saturday.
The SRAA and Southwest held a welcoming event for the Nov. 14 flight that arrived from Baltimore.
“This has been a long time coming. There’s been a lot of work that has gone into making today happen,” Jason Terreri, executive director of Syracuse Hancock International Airport, said in his remarks at the event.
He also recognized the staff of the SRAA and the personnel from Southwest Airlines who have been at Hancock preparing for the start of service.
In his remarks at the Nov. 14 event, Kevin Schwab, senior aviation industry advisor at CenterState CEO, said Southwest represents a new way to draw people to the region.
“Whether it’s to spend time in Armory Square or up on the SU hill taking in a game … whether it’s about going to Finger Lakes wineries, [or] the Adirondack Mountains. We’ve got so much to offer and Southwest is going to be a great new way to bring people here to this region,” Schwab said.
He also noted that in representing the businesses of the region, Southwest Airlines “has been one of the most asked for airlines that we can imagine.”
Southwest air service to Baltimore provides new nonstop access to Baltimore/Washington and additional service to more than four dozen cities beyond with same-plane and connecting service, SRAA said. Additional nonstop service to and from Orlando boosts existing service from Syracuse to Central Florida.

Cornell receives grant to support female student research in computing
ITHACA, N.Y. — The Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science (Cornell Bowers CIS) has recently been awarded a three-year, $300,000 grant from the Clare Boothe Luce Program for Women in STEM to boost the number of undergraduate women pursuing research in computer science.

ITHACA, N.Y. — The Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science (Cornell Bowers CIS) has recently been awarded a three-year, $300,000 grant from the Clare Boothe Luce Program for Women in STEM to boost the number of undergraduate women pursuing research in computer science.
The Clare Boothe Luce Program for Women in STEM is a program of the Henry Luce Foundation, an 85-year-old New York City–based foundation that supports projects at universities, policy institutes, media organizations, museums, and other organizations advancing public knowledge.
The grant will fund three groups of eight undergraduate women, who will be called Clare Booth Luce Research Scholars. The funding will support the students’ research and participation in conferences, according to a news release on the Cornell Chronicle website.
“Cornell Bowers CIS is an ideal place to make this investment; we are nearing gender parity for our incoming undergraduate class,” Kavita Bala, dean of Cornell Bowers CIS, said in the release.
Women comprise 38 percent of Cornell Bowers CIS undergraduate computer-science majors (43 percent of all computing and information-science majors), well above the national average of 20 percent, according to Bala.
“This grant could make a critical difference in increasing the pipeline of women enrolling in computer science graduate programs, entering the professoriate and pursuing careers in research,” she contended. “Further, research teaches open-ended thinking, a critical skill for leadership in any field, whether inside or outside academia. Increasing our students’ exposure to research makes for a better educational experience for them all around.”
Each Clare Boothe Luce Research Scholar will be advised by both a faculty member and a graduate student trained in mentoring. Scholars will start the program by engaging in a summer-research experience, while participating in a weekly series of “enrichment talks” on technical and career topics, and social events with other scholars and mentors, Cornell said.
Funded research will continue through the next academic year. Scholars will also attend an academic conference in the student’s research area.
Cornell Bowers CIS, the first college at Cornell to be named after a woman (Ann S. Bowers, a 1959 graduate), engages undergraduate women in research through activities such as its Women in Computing at Cornell, a student club founded in 2013.

The winners of the 14th Annual CNY BEST Talent Development Awards were announced at CNY ATD’s CNY BEST Talent Development Awards Ceremony held virtually on Thursday, Nov. 4, 2021.
CNY ATD annually presents the CNY BEST Talent Development Awards to recognize excellence in talent development in the Central New York area. Organizations that link learning to the strategic growth or success of organizations and individuals are recognized as CNY’s BEST in Talent Development.
Nominations for this year’s CNY BEST Talent Development Awards represent a wide range of organizations and include: AmeriCU Credit Union; Keeping People Safe and Factories Running; Leadergrow Inc.; National Grid; OneGroup; Oneida Nation Enterprises, LLC; TDO (Train, Develop, Optimize); Tompkins Financial Corp.; and YWCA of Syracuse & Onondaga Co. Inc.
Nominations were evaluated by a panel of local and national judges representing the profession and community. They evaluated the quality of talent-development practices, practice results and impacts, and demonstrations of how the practices linked to the strategic growth or success of organizations and individuals. The distinguished panel of judges for the 2021 CNY BEST Talent Development Awards included: Bernadette Costello, Ph.D., managing partner of BCC Consulting and national advisor for chapters at ATD; David Goodness, regional director for CNY at the Workforce Development Institute; Jeff Gribble, managing partner at OakLeaf Group; Louise Hand, site HR manager at Exelon and chapter president, CNY SHRM; Joanne Rauch, executive recruiter at CR Fletcher Associates; and Sheena Solomon, executive director of The Gifford Foundation.
CNY BEST Talent Development Organization Award
National Grid was recognized with the CNY BEST Talent Development Organization Award for linking talent development to their organization’s strategic growth or success with its “Our Journey to Securing Course Materials” project.
No formal procedures for monitoring course content or access to the materials; inconsistent, inefficient approaches to search, locate, and use materials; experiencing missing, accidentally moved, deleted, or outdated files; reproducing materials to replace those lost or missing; and a new IT cybersecurity plan led to National Grid starting the Our Journey to Securing Course Materials project. Following research and discussions, the instructional-design team led the process of moving all course materials to a new SharePoint site. The application allowed the team to create permissions, track version history, and have accountability to creating or changing course materials.
Having secure talent-development course materials is crucial to any organization’s talent-development efforts. The Our Journey to Securing Course Materials project helped National Grid manage and track its courses and handling of course material more efficiently and with security. One example showing the significance of this project was a review of almost 900 courses on its Learning Management System leading to a deactivation of over 300 outdated courses. Reduction in wasted time and efforts, and more consistencies in materials and processes will allow the organization’s talent-development team to be more impactful.
CNY BEST Talent Development Team Award
Keeping People Safe and Factories Running, a consortium of 23 Central New York companies with support from MACNY, The Manufacturers Association, was honored with the CNY BEST Talent Development Team Award for linking talent development for its internal or external stakeholders to the organization’s strategic growth or success with its “Keeping People Safe and Factories Running” program.
The Keeping People Safe and Factories Running consortium came together in the early stage of the pandemic to address a fear that the infection could shut down operations with a devastating impact on the companies, the economy, the communities, and the employees. Cohorts made a pledge that their respective companies would go above and beyond the safety and communications requirements put out by the various governmental agencies. Tasks, protocols, training, a set of common measurements of effectiveness, and audits were agreed upon with a process of continuous improvement.
This was an effort that required significant creativity, speed, and commitment to get it right, to work together to develop best-practice protocols, and “keep people safe and factories running.” The program that was created was shared with elected officials in Albany and became a best practice for manufacturers throughout the nation. Judges declared that this collaboration showed true leadership. Cohorts affirmed that through collaboration, cooperation, and dialogue, they collectively and individually created programs to achieve the end result of protecting their employees, families, and communities. One company commented, “Having a network of businesses with varying approaches and techniques to draw upon for best practices and support has been a bright light during a very uncertain time.”
CNY BEST Talent Development Consultant Award
Leadergrow Inc. was presented with the CNY BEST Talent Development Consultant Award for linking talent development to a clients’ strategic growth or success with its Leadership for Managers Course.
The course is aimed at all leader positions from supervisor to C-suite executives, and is an excellent development course for aspiring leaders with the goal of creating a much higher caliber of leader. The course covers leadership, motivation, culture, building trust along with communications and people skills, organizational and corporate skills, and integrating work and life.
Cited by Leadership Excellence Magazine as a “Top Thought Leader on Leadership Development,” Bob Whipple took his many years of experience to develop Leadergrow’s Leadership for Managers Course. Whipple’s passion shines through his belief that the highest calling for any leader is to grow other leaders.
The leadership program is highly acclaimed with most participants rating it as one of the best courses they have ever taken and stating that it creates a much higher caliber of leader.
In addition to recognizing excellence in talent-development practices, CNY ATD acknowledged members for national and local recognitions, and announced CNY ATD Scholarship Recipients.

Dear Rusty: Taxing Social Security benefits isn’t fair. It would benefit everyone if seniors could earn as much as possible without having their Social Security taxed. We would still be paying into Social Security which would help the fund. I also feel that all people earning over $100,000 should pay into Social Security because they can afford it. This would help fund Social Security without hurting anyone financially. Many seniors are struggling financially and should be able to earn as much as we can without a portion of our Social Security being taxed.
Signed: Overtaxed Senior
Dear Overtaxed Senior: Few would argue that paying income tax on Social Security (SS) benefits is fair. Nevertheless, Congress enacted taxation of Social Security benefits in 1983 as part of a reform package which restored Social Security to solvency at the time. When the law was first enacted, 50 percent of SS benefits were taxable for single tax filers who earned more than $25,000 and for married couples who earned more than $32,000. That was the law until 1993 when Congress added another threshold for both single and married filers. The 1993 law allowed up to 85 percent of SS benefits to be taxed for single filers who earned more than $34,000 and for married filers earning more than $44,000.
Ever since enacted, those laws have been viewed as unfair by many senior organizations and especially by the individuals who paid income tax on their benefits. The unfortunate reality is that eliminating income tax on Social Security benefits without also implementing other offsetting reforms would exacerbate Social Security’s now tenuous financial condition (income tax on benefits added $41 billion to Social Security’s revenue in 2020). Thus, calls today for repealing income tax on Social Security benefits go largely unheeded. It’s worth noting that 13 U.S. states also levy a state income tax on Social Security benefits.
Although the payroll taxes you pay into Social Security while working are different from income taxes on your benefits, people earning over $100,000 today do pay into Social Security through a FICA tax (or self-employment tax) on their earnings. Paying this tax is what entitles you to receive Social Security benefits. The 2021 threshold after which SS contributions are no longer taken from earnings is $142,800, and this amount goes up a bit each year. But even completely removing that payroll tax cap and further taxing higher earners would not fully resolve Social Security’s current financial issues. Social Security’s trustees predict that monthly benefits are at risk of reduction starting in 2034 unless Congress acts to reform the program. Eliminating income tax on benefits is one of many suggestions now being considered in reform proposals, as is increasing (or eliminating) the payroll-tax cap. Whether Congress will include either of those suggestions in future Social Security reform legislation is anyone’s guess.
So, while we agree that levying income tax on Social Security benefits amounts to “double taxation” (because you also pay income tax on your earnings used to qualify for Social Security), taxing your Social Security income is, nevertheless, permitted under current law. As unpalatable as that law may be, and as unfortunate the effect is on struggling seniors, the AMAC Foundation can only offer guidance on how existing Social Security laws and regulations affect those who contact us. However, our parent company, the Association of Mature American Citizens, understands paying income tax on Social Security “isn’t fair” and regularly lobbies Congress on that topic.
