As keynote speaker Assemblyman Phil Palmesano neared the end of his talk, First Responders jumped into action as two youngsters collapsed onto the concrete floor of the fire department bays -- where scores of area residents had congregated. And a third person, an elderly adult, became dizzy and made it to the building's interior before collapsing. Palmesano stopped practically in mid-sentence, and the ceremony was put on hold as a fire bay door was opened to let in fresh air.

Medical personnel tended to the three victims for more than a half hour and ambulances arrived to transport them to the hospital. Each was responsive during the interlude, and medical personnel present thought they would be okay, although one boy hit his chin hard -- and was said later to have suffered a fractured jaw that will require surgery after the swelling subsides. Specchio said he had never seen anyone collapse in any of the many ceremonies he has overseen at Memorial Day and Veterans Day over the years, and couldn't understand why three people suddenly collapsed -- although theories abounded: In fact, the father of the boy with the injured jaw said a high level of carbon monoxide was found in the youngster's system at the hospital.

Palmesano had the remaining attendees -- many had left during the break -- offer a silent prayer for the three, and commented on the sense of community exhibited by the First Responders in an instant after the collapses occurred. He likened that to the way friends embrace the families of servicemen, and said he hopes that in the most dire of circumstances, that Gold Star families realized that "the sacrifices of their loved ones made a tremendous difference in our history.

Watkins Glen High School graduate Jeff Kellogg has written what he describes as "a bit of a reflection given the year-anniversary of my accident and the important role the community played in my recovery.

September 29, my parents received the dreaded late-night call that I had been in an accident and they needed to get to me immediately. Only problem, I was in Florida. Without thinking twice my dad made arrangements and had my mother on the first flight out. Now that is something that the Schuyler County community knows how to provide. The power of faith and prayer is impossible to quantify but was so vital to my recovery. Never underestimate the impact that a small-town faith community can have. Thank you to every person who prayed for my recovery; you are a part of every step I have taken these last 10 years.

With my mother gone, my father was left to manage the house and my siblings. Without skipping a beat, the community stepped in to help ensure there was always food prepared and available. This support continued for months and from the meals I was able to enjoy after eventually making it home, the Schuyler county community knows how to eat. Thank you to every person who prepared food for my family; you are a part of every step I have taken these last 10 years and maybe the reason I gained a few pounds during the process.

Well, for those skeptics, I say go visit the Schuyler Hospital Physical Therapy department and watch me run. The vested interest that Michelle Myers took must be recognized and her influence noted. Thank you to the entire medical community; you are a part of every step I have taken these last 10 years. It would be impossible to list every friend and family member who made my recovery possible, because not a single person stayed on the sidelines. It was truly an army of love. The mail, cards, and visits at Kessler Medical and at home helped give me that extra push to keep working hard.

Thank you to everyone who did not think twice about stepping forward to help support my entire family; you are a part of every step I have taken these last 10 years. It is impossible to comprehend and process that it has been a decade since my accident. With all this said, I want to say one more thank you to all the heroes in Schuyler County. You are my hero and made a difference in my life.

Blood shortage prompts call for donations. Blood donations have fallen short of expectations for the past two months, resulting in about 61, fewer donations than needed and causing a significant draw down of the Red Cross blood supply. The shortfall is the equivalent of the Red Cross not collecting any blood donations for more than four days. The Red Cross has added more than 25, additional appointment slots at donation centers and community blood drives across the country over the next few weeks to accommodate more donors.

Donation appointments and completion of a RapidPass online health history questionnaire are encouraged to help reduce the time it takes to donate. Summer Months Lead to Shortage Blood shortages often worsen around Independence Day due to many fewer volunteer-hosted blood drives at places of work, worship or community gathering, and this year is no exception. Nearly fewer blood drives are scheduled during the Independence Day week than the weeks before and after the holiday.

Overall, the summer months are among the most challenging times of the year for blood and platelet donations as regular donors delay giving while they vacation and participate in summer activities. In a recent survey of Red Cross blood donors, more than 73 percent indicated vacation plans this summer, many of them occurring the weeks before and after Independence Day. Nearly one-third fewer new blood donors came out to give last summer than during the rest of the year due in part to schools -- where blood drives are held and where new donors give -- being out of session during the summer months.

Who Blood Donations Help Every two seconds in the United States blood and platelets are needed to respond to patient emergencies, including accident and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant procedures, and patients receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer or sickle cell disease. The Red Cross must collect nearly 14, blood donations every day for patients at approximately 2, hospitals across the country.
