Superintendent introduces interim principal for the summer and fall. A new principal is expected to be in place by mid-October. The house system has been revamped, and students will be greeted by some new policies such as one prohibiting the use of electronic devices.
So here’s today’s “what are they thinking?” moment: Police can pull you over if they see you talking on your cell phone. But, under a proposed law heading for the Governor’s desk, if a cop sees you texting on your cell phone, he can’t turn on the red lights and siren.
Here’s an underreported story from yesterday that will affect a lot of folks: From now on, the insurance available through your employer must cover your child up to the age of 29.
The health insurance for young adults measure is important because traditionally, young people drop off their parents’ insurance when they reach 19, or when they graduate from college.
The trial of Lynn and Lindsey Maxwell will turn on three things: door locks, cat poop and cat pee. Those three items dominated the opening night of their trial on child endangerment charges in Palermo Wednesday.
They are the father and step-mother of Erin Maxwell, the 11 year old found dying in her bedroom last August 29. They are not on trial for her death. Erin’s stepbrother, Alan Jones, is accused of sexually abusing and then killing her. The Maxwells are accused of having conditions in their home that were dangerous to Erin.
Here’s a pretty picture. Phillip Moore of Fulton took this photo, which he calls “Quiet”. It was good enough to take Best in Show honors at the Art Association of Oswego’s annual Members’ Exhibition. For that, he’ll be able to hold a solo show next year in the Civic Arts Center. Read the rest of the story to see who won in other categories.
State Senator Darrel Aubertine secured $100,000 for the Michaud Nursing Home in Fulton to help the nursing home buy and install a kitchen to cook for the nursing home’s residents. The kitchen at Lee Memorial Hospital closed when the hospital closed.
The money was not in a line item under Aubertine’s name, but was part of a package of pork barrel items belonging to the Upstate Senate Delegation. Various coalitions of legislators received pork barrel funds to dole out, including the upstate Senators, a coalition of suburban Senators, separate delegations from Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx and Brooklyn, a conference of black Senators and one of Latin Senators.
Aubertine’s district received $400,000 in that package, bringing his direct total to $1.4 million, and the amount for Oswego County, with Assembly members’ pork items added in, to $700,000. Aubertine would, therefore, not have the lowest member item amount among majority Democrats.
The Senator’s spokesman, Drew Mangione, led us to this better information and we thank him and make this correction.
