Brown ROME, N.Y. -- Continuing coverage out of Oneida County as several police agencies search by land and air for a suspect in a bank robbery and the shooting of a sheriff's deputy. It all started at the NBT Bank in Rome Thursday morning where investigators say two suspects wearing masks walked into the bank and fired a shot into the ceiling. They took off with some cash. Deputies caught up with the suspects on River Road and a pursuit began. One of the men jumped out of the car and was taken into custody. The other continued the car chase into Marcy where he jumped out and ran on foot in the area of Edic Road and Route 49. Investigators say the suspect fired shots and Deputy Michael Burger was shot in the ankle. He is said to be in stable condition and the injuries are not life threatening. The suspect still at large is Brian Brown. He is a black male in his early thirties. The sheriff's office says he is considered armed and dangerous and they are in the midst of a large-scale search to apprehend him. The SUNY-IT campus was sent into lockdown mode and is being evacuated while the search is underway. The college's website posted a notice to students: "Please make necessary preparations to leave campus. University Police will be escorting all persons on campus, building by building, to their vehicles so they may leave campus." And the NBT Bank has issued a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those involved in the robbery. Deputy Michael Burger from the Oneida County Sheriff's Department is no stranger to dealing with violent situations on the job. Last year he had a suspect lunge at him with a knife. He was not injured. Several agencies are helping in the search and investigation including the FBI and U.S. Marshals. Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff's office at (315) 736-0141.

| Clothes should make good impression in job search Posted: 28 Jul 2010 06:10 AM PDT Jobs | Looking for work? By Marvin Walberg, Scripps Howard News Service Recently I participated in a local community college job fair, offering a seminar on "Dressing for Success," and general job search tips. Hundreds of students and adults from the community attended. What amazed me, however, was how ill-prepared so many participants were in terms of making a good first impression. Many made the effort to dress for success even if they didn't have a wardrobe that included recommended interview attire. To those who made that effort, I applaud you. All of us who were there to receive you noticed and appreciated you. Others dressed like they came directly from class, in workout clothing complete with towel, or like they came prepared to make social contacts. To those who made no attempt at all to make a respectful first impression, shame on you. Did it not enter your mind that the company representatives, human resource professionals, military personnel, educators and others who participated in order to offer you career possibilities and advice saw you and made instant, permanent first impressions of you? I have to include one Navy recruiter who apparently believed that "pants on the ground" worked with a military uniform. No, it doesn't work — anywhere. You must get visible in your job search, meeting people and developing network contacts, completing employment applications, knocking on doors and going on interviews. Every time you get visible in your job search efforts, dress for your own success. Make an effort to make the best first impression you can, to whoever sees you, most importantly a network contact or a company receptionist. Dress for your own success whenever you meet the public. So, how do you prepare to attend a job fair if you don't have traditional "interview" clothing? Here are five tips: • With jewelry, "less is best." Take off your piercings and wear one set of earrings (women), and maybe one piece of sensible jewelry. , Dress sensibly, not like you're going clubbing. Wear clean, pressed clothing and make sure your shoes are clean and polished. • Shower or bathe before the fair and leave your cologne or perfume for the weekend. Soap and water will suffice. • Bring copies of your resume, a legal pad and something to write with. A fresh manila envelope will work fine to carry your supplies. • Do what others fail to do.
