Winds blow roof off landfill building
AUBURN - Strong winds from a thunderstorm Monday evening pummeled the city's York and Division Street area, ripping the roof off the city's landfill maintenance building, blowing it across Division Street into a radio-station service structure.
On the way across the street, the membrane roof apparently caught utility lines, snapping several heavy poles, leaving them dangling. Debris from the roof, as well as several tree limbs were spread from the lawn of the maintenance building all the way to York Street.
New York State Electric and Gas officials reported 4,400 customers in the Auburn area were without electricity Monday as a result of the storm.

- Natalie Emmi bathes her husband Anthony in a bedroom of their Beech Tree Road home a few days before he died last July. As cancer spread through Anthony's liver, he became exhausted and his wife often bathed him in bed, where he could rest more comfortably. Their son Louis said it was difficult to watch his father battle cancer. "The hardest part was knowing what the overall outcome would be and watching it happen," he said.
- In a way, this is what Anthony Emmi wanted, his body tended to at home by family and friends. Anthony's brother Al watches as funeral director and family friend Matt Cheche and Ron Oughterson prepare to wheel the body out of the Emmi's Aurelius home. When Natalie Emmi looks at this photograph now, she says it is comforting to know Anthony died on his own terms. "I felt sad and I felt glad it was done the way he wanted," Natalie said. "A hospital is so impersonal. But at home, he's got everybody around him. We were with him until the end."
- Pall bearers carry Anthony Emmi into St. Francis Church for the final time last year in Auburn. Throughout much of his life, Emmi donated his time and talents to the church "All of our lives are journeys of faith," the Rev. Robert Belligotti said in his eulogy. "He knew how to build beautiful houses for all of us. And God now will build for him a lasting place. His signature is almost everywhere here at St. Francis."
