- Before we got to Tim Reed, we talked to a few callers.

- Tim gives a little insight into Ed Snowden's resume.

David Short - Utica DPW Commissioner

- Nancy Ford has brought it to our attention that Rosco Conkling Park is in rough shape.

- We are talking to David to clear some stuff up.

- Rosco Conkling park, especially at the Eagle is a maintenance challenge. It's high up on a hill and equipment is difficult to get up there. Funding is also a challenge.

- Age and wear and tear is to blame for the condition of the Eagle and it would be an expensive project.

- We discussed a man who volunteered his time to help with parks around the city. His name was Ray Vatucci, who will have a pavilion dedicated in his name. The timeline is unknown.

Senator Phil Boyle (R) - District 4 - Heroin Task Force

- The problem is that drug cartels are making this drug more pure and cheaper. The cartel is evil but smart.

- One of the goals is getting insurance companies to help with treatment and resources for law enforcement agencies.

- There is a drug that is being developed that could help with overdoses is Naloxone (Narcan). It could totally wake someone up from an overdoes.

- The debate is people may be more willing to try it if there is Narcan available.

- Martin calls in to comment.
