KRIZIA WILLIAMS: IT’S THURSDAY JUNE 9TH AND IT’S THAT TIME FOR YOUR NCC NEWS BRIEF. I’M KRIZIA WILLIAMS.TODAY MARKS THE START OF THE HEARINGS FOR THE ALMOST YEARLONG INVESTIGATION INTO THE 2021 ATTACK ON THE US CAPITOL. THE HOUSE SELECT COMMITTEE HAS BEEN COLLECTING INTERVIEWS AND DOCUMENTS TO LAY OUT FOR THE HEARINGS. SYRACUSE PROFESSOR GRANT REEHER SAYS THE POINT OF THIS IS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED AND WHO DID IT.

(GRANT DAVIS REEHER) “THE FOCUS OF THESE HAS BEEN MORE ON HOLDING PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE AND UNDERSTANDING KIND OF WHO DID WHAT AND WHO WE SHOULD, FOR A LACK OF BETTER WORD, BLAME FOR THIS.”

KRIZIA WILLIAMS: THE WATER THAT FLOWS THROUGH OUR HOUSES HERE IN SYRACUSE COMES FROM SKINNY ATLAS LAKE. ALGEA WITHIN THE WATER CAN BE TOXIC IF NOT CONTOLLED. AND THESE ARE CALLED ALGAL BLOOMS. TO HELP KEEP THE BLOOMS UNDER CONTROL, RESIDENTS CAN NOW REPORT WHEN THEY SEE AN ALGAL BLOOM AND THE REPORT GOES STRIGHT TO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. AJ SMITH WITH THE NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION SAYS THE REPORTS DICTATE HOW THE BLOOMS ARE HANDLED AND IN A TIMLY MATTER.

(AJ SMITH)“THAT INFORMATION IS CONVEYED IN REAL TIME OVER TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, AND THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH WORKS WITH THE WATER SUPPLER TO DETERMIND IF ANYTHING ADDITIONAL NEEDS TO HAPPEN IN TERMS OF WATER TREATMENT.”

KRIZIA WILLIAMS: FORMER ORANGE AND OVERSEAS BASKETBALL PLAYER DEJUAN COLMAN IS KEEPING HIS FEET ON THE COURT AND IS NOW MAKING HIS MARK AS A BOLDWINVILLE HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL COACH. CLOSING OUT HIS FIRST YEAR COACHING, HE IS PASSING DOWN HIS WISDOM AND KEEPING HIS TEAM MOTIVATED TO GET THE WIN. BUT THOSE ARENT THE ONLY GOALS COLMAN HAS IN MIND.

(DEJUAN COLMAN) “RIGHT NOW WE DON’T WANT TO PUT TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON THEM – JUST TO HAVE FUN – HANG OUT WITH THEIR FRIENDS.”
