Petal it Forward: Auburn florist brightens days downtown with free flowers

High School section of the women's organization Zonta International, as well as members of Auburn's Zonta Club handed out flowers to staff at the Cayuga County Office Building, construction workers, a parking attendant and many more. They stopped people in the crosswalk. They ducked into restaurants and cafes. They staked out overhangs armed with petals for the passersby. Paula Capocefalo, first deputy Cayuga County clerk, gladly took two bouquets. She visits her 96-year-old mother, Gertrude Capocefalo, for lunch every day, and was going to bring her one. Ann Robson, a nutritionist at the Cayuga County Health Department, said she would bring her flowers to her co-workers."I love flowers," she said, smiling down at the bouquet. "They improve my day. This is such a nice thing."Laura Simmons, of Auburn, and Jack Hall, of Cato, had broad smiles on their faces as they walked down Genesee Street. They'd been hit by "Petal It Forward," too. Simmons was going to give her extra bouquet to her mother, and Hall was going to give the second bouquet to his fiancée. "The reactions are great," Cosentino said. "They know exactly who they're giving it to. It wasn't a question, they know where and who."She looked out into the rain."It's a beautiful day to get flowers," she said. (Auburn Citizen)

Awful Day Lives in Alumnus' Memory

Coast Guard station: Leslie Holdsworth, Ralph Sprau and Eugene Sisson. At 95, Cisternino lives in quiet retirement in King Ferry, in Cayuga County. Last week, he wept when he spoke of the six men killed that day. He is among the last witnesses. He said their courage should never be forgotten. “They’re still in my mind,” Cisternino says. His own life, too, was put at risk. While Cisternino downplays the nature of his role, he was described as a hero in newspaper accounts of the disaster. Cisternino, 95, talks about the long-ago incident about which he still thinks often. As soon as Coast Guard officers realized the picket boat had overturned, a second crew of rescuers was sent out from the station. They understood there was scant chance of finding survivors. Cisternino was on that boat, with a rope tied around his waist. He hoped to recover the bodies of his friends. They quickly spotted the body of Wilson, the station commander, caught in the violent lake. He “had a rain coat on and the air got under the rain coat and kept him afloat,” Cisternino says. He recalls Wilson as “a very respectful person, a very wonderful guy,” who had a kind of father-like demeanor at the station. Cisternino jumped into the freezing water and tried to retrieve his drowned commander. “I had my arm around him at one time,” says Cisternino, who was not wearing a wetsuit. His only protection against the bitter storm was a life jacket. The temperatures were frigid. His limbs began going numb. The waves tore Wilson’s body from his grasp. Cisternino, by that point, was in trouble. His friends pulled him to the boat, then had to lift him in. “Once I got in the picket boat, once the reaction set in, I got afraid,” Cisternino says. He was suffering from exposure. The Coast Guard rushed him to a hospital, where he stayed for a night. Back in Syracuse, when his family received a telegraph about Cisternino’s condition, his mother saw the deliveryman and “went berserk,” Cisternino says. She had heard about the tragedy. She thought her son, like his friends at the lighthouse, had been killed. Dec. 4, 1942. Cisternino does not forget. So much of his life was against the odds, an uphill struggle. His parents were immigrants from Italy. When he enlisted in the Coast Guard, he needed their approval. His mother, who could not speak English, signed the form with an “X.” He didn’t remain at Oswego for long after the disaster. The nation was barely a year into World War II. Cisternino was sent to radio school. He spent much of the war in the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean, serving on Coast Guard vessels that escorted military convoys. They came under fire. He eventually made it home. It is never lost on him that everything good that happened in his long life might be gone if he had not been on watch in the tower. Cisternino attended the old Blodgett Vocational High School, in Syracuse. He met Julia “Judy” Jordan, a student at nearby St. Lucy’s High, at a high school party. They hit it off. They began dating. In 1943, they were married. Cisternino wore his Coast Guard uniform for the ceremony. After the war, he enrolled in Syracuse University. The young couple rented an attic flat and began raising their children. “Nobody (else) in my family went to college,” he says. He was part of the surge of veterans who arrived on campus in the late 1940s. His name is on the wall right now at Bird Library, where the University Archives has an exhibit called “Our Doors Opened Wide,” recalling the years following the war. To provide more space, the University erected many Quonset huts. The most striking was a vast dining hall at Comstock and West Colvin avenues. A contest was held on campus, to name the building. The exhibit mentions the winner: Cisternino. He called the structure “The Quonsoteria.” In those years, he and Jud...
