Reed: Stimulus deal is possible Joseph Spector New York State Team

ALBANY – U.S. Rep. Tom Reed says if Congress can put politics aside, a deal to provide another round of stimulus checks to Americans and give aid to struggling states can be reached in the coming weeks.

Reed, R-Corning, is the co-chairman of the biparti-

san Problems Solvers Caucus, which laid out a detailed plan last week to end the gridlock over a new stimulus package before Congress recesses in the coming weeks.

“We said, ‘You know what?

These guys need to be held accountable and be told this can be done and more importantly should be done,’’’ Reed told the USA TODAY Network

New York late last Thursday.

“It’s the right thing for people back home.”

The roughly $1.5 trillion plan, which includes $1,200 checks to individuals with an additional $500 per child, drew national attention and the interest of President Donald Trump, who last Wednesday praised the package. “They came up with this idea, and I think they’re well

on their way to suggesting some pretty good things,” Trump told reporters.

He stopped short of explicitly endorsing the proposal, saying “We’re getting closer.”

Trump charged, “I do like a lot of money getting sent to people that really were – really were hurt unnecessarily by China, see REED | 9A

A series of nine log and boulder structures wil be placed in the Cohocton River near Cross Road in Avoca, and trees/bushes will be planted adjacent to the river within the project area.

$9K ‘Embrace a Stream’ grant will aid Cohocton River trout The Spectator AVOCA — The Canandaigua Lake Chapter of Trout Unlimited netted a grant for $9,000 through the Trout Unlimited national Embrace a Stream Grant Program.

This project primarily involves the placement of a series of nine log and boulder structures in the Cohocton River near Cross Road in Avoca, and the planting of trees/bushes adjacent to the river within the project area. This project will greatly improve the trout habitat within this 1,400 foot section of the river by restoring some of the structure that has been lost from the river in recent years due

to extreme flooding. The project will also further the Canandaigua Lake Chapter’s ongoing efforts to reduce the negative impact increasing summer temperatures are having on the trout within the river.

Trout have trouble surviving when water temperatures exceed 67 degrees; consequently, since 2009 the Chapter has planted thousands of trees along the river to help shade and cool the water.

The new structures being added to the river will help to: increase oxygen levels; reduce water temperatures; create deeper and better holding and feeding areas; improve current flow and

flushing of sediments; provide better protection from predators, both birds and animals; and add substrata and food for aquatic organisms which are used by trout for food.

The new trees and bushes will further help to shade and cool the river. The Cohocton River contains both brown trout and native brook trout; the brook trout are more adversely affected by the warmer temperatures and could be lost from the river if current warming trends continue.

The Canandaigua Lake Chapter has been planting trees along see STREAM | 9A

Men’s Virility Restored in Clinical Trial; 275% More Blood Flow in 5 Minutes A newly improved version of America’s best-selling male performance enhancer gives 70-year-old men the ability and stamina they enjoyed in their 30’s.

COVID-19 and the flu share symptoms The Chronicle Express Knowing the difference between influenza (the flu) and COVID-19 may be hard for an individual who isn’t feeling well since the illnesses share many symptoms, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

“Connect with your health care provider right away to get an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment,” said Stephen Cohen, M.D., Excellus BlueCross BlueShield senior vice president and corporate medical director.

Don’t forget about the flu

The CDC lists common symptoms that COVID-19 and flu share, including: • Fever or feeling feverish/chills • Cough • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing • Fatigue (tiredness) • Sore throat • Runny or stuffy nose • Muscle pain or body aches • Headache • Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea, though this is more common in children than adults The COVID-19 pandemic has raised awareness of how dangerous a virus can be and how important it is to have an effective vaccine.

“In 2019, the CDC estimates between

39 million and 56 million people got sick with the flu and between 24,000 and 62,000 people died of flu complications,” said Cohen. “Fortunately, we have a flu vaccine in hand for this year’s strains that can provide a level of immunity or reduce the severity if you do get sick.”

The flu vaccine is now available at most major pharmacies, many physician practices, and other sites in our community. The CDC recommends it for everyone 6 months and older. Most health insurance plans cover the flu vaccine in full, and you usually don’t need an appointment to receive it at a pharmacy.

Older adults should consult with their health care provider to see if they recommend the high-dose flu vaccine that is approved for people ages 65 years and older. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine indicated that the high-dose vaccine was 24-percent more effective in preventing flu in adults 65 years and older relative to a standard-dose vaccine.

One person with the flu can infect other people one day before any symptoms develop, and up to about seven days after they become sick. For the very young, the very old, women who are pregnant, and individuals with compromised immune systems including many patients on chemotherapy, catching the flu can place them at high risk for serious complications, including death. It isn’t always obvious who among us is vulnerable.

Yet another thing ruined by 2020 insanity

Reexamining ‘Mockingbird’ after 60 years

By Charita Goshay

By Matthew T. Mangino

The Ohio Department of Health snagged a good replacement for outgoing medical director, Dr. Amy Acton, who resigned in June.

Dr. Joan Duwve was prepared to return to her native state.

A graduate of Ohio State University, the University of Michigan and the prestigious Johns Hopkins University College of Medicine, Duwve served as the head of the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control.

She also previously served as the chief medical director for the state of Indiana, and has used her skills to advocate for children’s health and suicide prevention.

But on Sept. 11, Duwve announced an aboutface, stating that no job is worth her family’s well-being.

It’s pretty clear she heard what happened to Acton, who was demonized by fist-shakers upset with shelter-in-place orders to combat the deadly coronavirus.

Because bad news apparently travels even as far away as South Carolina, a five-star candidate was lost.

Happy, Ohio?

Across the country, public health directors are leaving skid marks in response to being harassed and threatened with harm for the crime of doing their jobs.

In response, Gov. Mike DeWine noted that Ohio is no different than any other state in terms of having difficulty in

This year marks the 60th anniversary of Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird.” Published in 1960, the book is a literary classic that won Lee a Pulitzer Prize. The film adaptation earned Gregory Peck an Academy Award.

The story takes place during the Depression in the fictional town of Maycomb, Alabama. The narrator’s father Atticus Finch, a lawyer and state legislator, is appointed to represent Tom Robinson, a black man accused of raping a white woman. Many scholars have studied the implications of Lee’s work. “To Kill a Mockingbird” is one of the most read literary works in American history with over 30 million copies sold. The book has been cited for its influence on the civil rights movement and the character of Atticus Finch has been lauded as the model father, as well as possessing the integrity and temperament for which all lawyers should aspire.

In this time of racial tumult some have taken a closer look at the character of Atticus Finch.

While we remember Finch as a heroic figure who stood up to racism and tried to save the life of a black man in a racist

finding a public health director.

That doesn’t make it better.

So, as COVID-19 cases continue to rise in Ohio, people who couldn’t decipher the periodic table if their lives depended on it, who insist that COVID-19 is a deep state hoax, are calling the shots on qualified candidates who have plenty of other options that don’t include armed pickets outside of their homes.

How did wearing a mask to protect others become an embrace of fascism?

What’s next, accusing people who can do algebra of being sorcerers?

Certainly, no official is beyond criticism, but terrorizing potential public servants to the point where they fear for their loved ones is a bridge too far.

The trouble is, we have forgotten who we are.

Every citizen and taxpayer has the right to weigh in on policies being made on their behalf.

But these torch-andpitchfork tantrums during one of the greatest health crises of our time is an embarrassment to a great state.

southern town, Finch tolerated racism and even made excuses for it.

Just like President Donald Trump, who said that violent white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia were “good people,” Finch lauds the “character” of racists in Maycomb. A decade ago, Malcolm Gladwell wrote about Finch in the New Yorker.

Gladwell examined Finch’s thoughts about Walter Cunningham, a Maycomb man who attempted to lynch Tom Robinson, “Cunningham, Finch tells his daughter, is ‘basically a good man,’ who ‘just has his blind spots along with the rest of us.’”

In a recent essay for the website Electric Literature, Sandra Schmuhl Long reminds us of a conversation Finch had with his son about their neighbor Mrs. Dubose - who screamed racial slurs at his (Finch’s) children daily after learning that Finch would defend Tom Robinson -

(she) is a “great lady” and “the bravest woman I ever knew.”

“To Kill a Mockingbird” examines a number of significant issues (race, gender, poverty, domestic violence, courage and cowardice) through the lens of a rural southern criminal justice system. The legal system of Finch’s mid-1930s and even Lee’s of 1960 are, in some ways, very different than today’s - and, unfortunately, in some ways very similar.

Racism continues to permeate the criminal justice system. If this country is ever truly to eradicate racism, making excuses for, or holding in esteem men and women who openly spew hate, must stop. While Finch stood up for justice he did not stand up to his neighbors.

He tolerated racism, and we found out in 2015, with the controversial posthumous publication of Lee’s “Go Set a Watchman,” Finch himself was a racist. He cavorted with racists and expressed racist views.

In “To Kill a Mockingbird,” after Robinson’s conviction, Finch and his son, Jem, discussed the real or perceived flaws of the criminal justice system. Jem told Finch, “Lots of folks have been hung - hanged - on circumstantial evidence.”

Finch responded, “I know, and lots of ‘em probably deserved it, too - but in the absence of eyewitnesses there’s always a doubt, sometimes only the shadow of a doubt. The law says ‘reasonable doubt,’ but I think a defendant’s entitled to the shadow of a doubt. There is always the possibility, no matter how improbable, that he’s innocent.”

For people of color, racism in the criminal justice system goes far beyond the finding of guilt. Racism is present from the moment an investigation ensues until a sentence is imposed and beyond.

“To Kill a Mockingbird” is a timeless classic. Every critical reading provides new insight into its characters and more importantly into the struggle to understand hate. It was clear in 1960 that Lee condemned racism, but 60 years later her work forces us to confront the evil of merely tolerating racism.

Facebook pet peeves

By Nick Thomas More Content Now

Claiming over 2 billion active users, Facebook is still giving the newer social media upstarts a run for their money. But such a massive following can be both a blessing and a curse for the average Facebook reader. A blessing because users are free to post almost anything, anytime. A curse, for precisely the same reason.

And therein lies the virtual rub. So here are some common posting grievances that Facebook users sometimes air.

First, stop “liking” your own status/comment/ photo. This is about as silly as high-fiving yourself in public. Of course you like your own posts, otherwise you wouldn’t post them. Duh! Then there’s the unrepentant fast-food photo fanatic. No matter how

delicious that quadruple bacon cheeseburger tasted, don’t expect readers to drool over arteryclogging images of your recent fat-laden meal.

The colors will likely be washed out, while oozing oils glisten with an unappealing greasy sliminess.

So please, eat your food, don’t archive it.

And what about those serial baby photo posters? Apparently, it’s only natural to think your new offspring is the cutest infant human on the planet. News flash - it’s probably not. But if you insist on plastering the screen with baby pix, at least dress the kid in something other than just a diaper. You wouldn’t post pictures of Grandpa in his Depends, so show the same restraint for baby in Pampers, okay?

Don’t be a multiple medical moaner, either,

because no one likes to hear that a Facebook friend is ill. No, seriously, NO ONE likes to hear that a FB friend is ill repeatedly, day after day, week after week. So even if you do suffer from truly fascinating ailments such as chronic donut assimilation syndrome, share health miseries with a doctor, not the entire planet.

Nor should we forget the incessant bare-chested hubby poster. Ladies, while it is perfectly acceptable to post images of your significant other if he’s a dead ringer for Tom Cruise or Matthew McConaughey, please refrain if he bears even a passing resemblance to a hairy Jabba the Hutt.

While we’re at it, check that profile. Facebookers have the option of listing the school(s) they attended and many

feel compelled to claim they’re alumni from the “School of Hard Knocks,” the “University of Life,” or “Tough Break Tech.”

Yeah, life’s a hurdle - get over it!

Finally, failing to fact check before sharing someone’s dubious post is a big blight on users of the giant social media site. No, Mars isn’t going to appear in the night sky the size of the Moon next week; no, Meryl Streep isn’t running for president; and no, Canada isn’t planning to invade Vermont. If you want to spread rumors and lies, you probably should go into politics.

Step-back lunge helps balance, stability

By Marlo Alleva More Content Now

Strength in our lower bodies is not only good for us but is a necessity for everyday life. In addition to walking, we sit and stand, bend and squat, lean and lunge, and everything else in between. All of those motions require leg strength, and to attain that, variety is key.

Our move today is a step-back lunge. This exercise will be working your quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes and calves.

All you need is a smooth surface for lunging.

To begin this exercise, start by standing tall with your feet placed about hip-width. Holding your chest up, and engaging your abdominals for added balance, step back with your right foot.

Keeping the weight on the ball of your foot; proceed to sit into the extended leg by bending in that knee. Your front

MCN

knee will be bending as well but be mindful to keep the positioning behind the front foot.

Continue to bend and sit into this step back lunge as low as you are comfortable doing then proceed to push back

up to your starting position. Stand tall, with both feet returned to level ground. Then repeat the same movement on the left side.

Keeping your hands positioned just on your hips, shoot for at least eight to 10 lunges on each side for three sets each.

If you need intensity, you can hold a set of hand weights in each hand. And if you need a little help with balance, you can hold a broomstick just in front of you.

If you have issues with knee pain, you can keep the lunge shallow.

Just be mindful to engage the muscles you are focusing on.

This step-back lunge is great added into any lower-body routine, and is also a great move to help with balance and stability.

Continued from 1A Area schools that the section encompasses are Addison, Bath, Campbell-Savona, Prattsburgh and Avoca.

“Our 124 member schools provided input to determine the decision,” said Kathy Hoyt, executive director of Section V athletics.

Section V will follow return to play directives from the New York State Public High School Athletic Association.

The “low-risk” sports are characterized by: • Greatest ability to maintain physical distance and/or be performed individually; • Greatest ability to (1) avoid touching of shared equipment, (2) clean and disinfect any

equipment between uses by different individuals, or (3) not use shared equipment at all.

As for spectators at games, the NYSPHSAA has said: Spectators must maintain six feet of physical distance between individuals and/or family/household units at all times and all spectators must wear face coverings when they are in common areas and situations

STEUBEN COURIER where six feet of distancing is not able to be maintained, so long as they are over the age of two and medically able to tolerate such covering.

Hoyt said spectators could be up to individual districts depending on local Department of Health guidelines.

“All schools must follow NYSDOH and local DOH guidelines,” said Hoyt. “We

have 12 counties in Section V so it may vary district to district.”

Games and scrimmages for Section V will be played following the completion of 10 practices.

Regarding schedules, travel for practice or play is prohibited outside of the school’s region or contiguous regions/ counties until Oct. 19.

Warren “Archie” Thompson Warren “Archie” Thompson of Savona, NY passed away on 9/20/2020 to reunite with the love of his life Ruby Thompson “Lloyd”.

Anyone who knew Warren knew Ruby had her hands full keeping him in line. I surely hope he doesn’t bring his barn boots in his heavenly home. Truly beautiful knowing he will be back with her and his family that had predeceased him (Parents – Ada and Archie) (Siblings – Joseph Thompson, Loretta Beckhorn, Virginia Reynolds , Lois Rasmussen, and Shirley Blank).

Warren loved his animals and by now is surrounded by his happy pets that are so glad to see him. Farming was his life and passion, born of a generation who valued hard work. In his passing Warren may consider taking a vacation or two.

Warren was born on June 20, 1924 in Savona, NY and at an age of 96 his contributions to community, family, and country were truly admirable. At an age of 18 on Sept. 25, 1942 Warren joins the American Army choosing to serve in the U.S. Air Force (410 Bomb Group). August 30, 1943 he was promoted to Second Lieutenant.

World War II ensued and piloting an A20 Havoc Warren bombed a railway complex in Amiens, France. On his return

journey his plane was attacked and with the left wing on fire he parachutes to safety. Hiding for the night Warren is helped by a man who gives him civilian clothes. While attempting to reach an escape path the train station is bombed and he is later taken to a farm in WellesPerennes where he stays on a temporary basis. In June 1944 Comte Jaques de Baynast welcomes the pilot to his Chateau de la Borde. In July 1944 fearing a search by Germans, Warren is shuttled to a school in Mesnil-SaintFirmin where his location was compromised.

The German army imprisoned him in Amiens, then a Parisian prison, and then Thompson is taken to Buchenwald concentration camp (one of only 168 airman imprisoned there). December 1944 the airman is transferred to Stalag Luft III, a prison camp in Poland. The camp is evacuated in January 1945 and Warren is liberated to the Americans in May 1945.

August 5th 1945 Warren marries Ruby and from the union Becky, Doris, and Gary are born.

Warren helped start a television and cable business in Bath, NY, retired from the Savona post office, managed several rental properties, and continued farming. He was a active member of the community serving as a member / president of the Savona School Board, Town of Bath Planning Board, American Legion, Commander of VFW Post 1470, Savona Masonic Lodge (68 years), sponsor of the Savona Fire Department, and President of the Steuben County Veteran’s Memorial. Warren helped successfully moved a oneroom schoolhouse from Babcock Hollow Road to the Steuben County Fairgrounds. He was inducted into the NYS Veterans Hall of Fame on May 15, 2018 and saluted for his remarkable life and service. In April 2014 Warren had the honor of being selected for Steuben County’s Hall of Fame. He truly stands for American’s Greatest Generation.

Grateful for having shared his life are his daughters, Becky (Bill)

OUTDOORS WHAT’S UP at MOSSY BANK PARK

Sept. 27 – While it may seem odd to some, one reason I like walking in Mossy Bank Park is that the lifeforms one finds there are mostly ordinary and representative of a northeastern forest. Nature documentaries on television and flashy videos on social media like to emphasize exotic creatures from remote, often inaccessible environments. These offerings are certainly entertaining, but I like my Nature to be a source of comfort and predictability. Only after repeatedly walking over the same landscape, season after season, does one become familiar with what is truly common. This familiarity makes you sensitive to the novel, which when encountered, fosters an excitement similar to one of those exotic encounters presented by the media, but better, because your experience is real.

Rarities in Nature can be relative, or absolute.

Several years ago, I documented the presence of the Comet Darner (Anax longipes) at the Mossy Bank Pond. Sharing this find with a knowledgeable dragonfly expert, she advised me that my find was, at the time, the farthest west and north this species had been observed, making it a relative rarity. Another type of relative rarity might be an animal like a Sand Hill Crane (Antagone canadensis), which despite being found over a large area and having a large population, is still the only one of its genus, and one of just two of any kind of crane found in North America, and one of only 15 species of crane worldwide.

Coming down the Green Trail, just past the footbridge, I saw what I first took to be a black damselfly flutter down weakly then crawl a short distance across the path.

It was late in the year for damselflies so I bent down for a closer look.

To my surprise, the insect was not a damselfly at all.

Shiny black, with long antennae, unusual-looking legs, short wings for its size, and a long, thin abdomen making the insect over 2 ½ inches long, this was clearly a wasp.

At first, I thought it was an ichneumon wasp, but the long back end was all abdomen, not ovipositor. Checking my insect

Getting your stand ready for deer season

By Oak Duke

D. RANDY WEIDNER

D. Randy Weidner guides, it was clear this insect was the American Pelecinid Wasp, Pelecinus polyturator.

And it is a rarity because, while found from Atlantic Canada to Argentina, it is the only pelecinid in the Americas, out of only four species world-wide.

A 2 ½ inch wasp might give one a shudder, especially with recent news reports of ‘murder hornets’. In fact, this weakflying wasp is quite docile. People on whom it has landed do not report any stings; and indeed, it has no venom. An American Pelecinid Wasp on a bare hand will repeatedly touch the skin with the tip of its abdomen; and some people perceive a faint prick. But humans are not its prey. These wasps are parasitoids for large beetle grubs like June Bugs (genus Phyllophaga).

The female wasp finds a beetle grub underground and drills down with that long abdomen to pierce the grub and lay her egg. The egg hatches to a larva which consumes the grub from the inside, pupates underground, then emerges as an adult. Male pelecinid wasps are much smaller and rarely seen.

In my description of the pelecinid wasp above, I noted some interesting anatomic features which are clearly adaptations to its lifestyle. The American Pelecinid Wasp has exceptionally long antennae for a wasp. Many insects have sensory organs on their antennae and feet, which this one no doubt uses to smell, and possibly feel vibrations from, an underground grub munching away on plant roots. The other striking feature is the enlarged femur and tibias, the two leg segments closest to the body.

Grasshoppers and fleas have enlarged, muscular hind femurs they use for jumping; but pelecinid wasps do not jump.

Most deer hunters would agree that there are a number of key elements that go into making a good stand.

Topping my list is the stand’s location in relation for scent-control; that is wind or air movement direction.

Hunters who do not pay attention to the wind can find themselves awfully bored.

A stand is not worth much if it’s on the wrong side of the wind and the deer picks up on the hunter long before either is in sight.

Last week I put up a portable on top of a high ridge at the top of a deep wooded basin.

There’s a goldmine there this year - acorns in big clusters, high up at the top of the old trees’ crowns. And the ground is already littered with caps and newly fallen acorns.

The tree stand tree was a good one, a triple trunk coming out of its base.

In contrast, tree stands that are put up on lone pole trees may seem all right in the early weeks of archery season, that is until the leaves come down in the middle of October. Then the deer hunter sticks out like a stop sign.

Tree stands should be tucked into the boughs of a hemlock tree, a split trunk tree, or at least one with a couple trunks or big limbs, so that the hunter’s silhouette is broken up.

After setting the metal portable stand in place and pulling myself in it for the first time, feeling the sway of the tree and that old familiar sensation felt good.

“Ground seems a long way down,” I thought to myself as I looked through the wire floor of the two-foot by two-foot

OAK DUKE

“Nice. Sturdy, doesn’t wobble.” Has good, natural shooting lanes. Covers the main trail across the ridge at a decent distance,” I thought. (Not too close but not too far, either.) Always pick up an imaginary bow and pretend to shoot it at imaginary deer.

But as I studied the winds and thought and considered their swirling patterns, the realization sunk in that this stand was actually in the wrong location for the normal prevailing winds and I just wasted my time, climbing up, setting the stand, and judiciously trimming shooting lanes.

“Darn it,” I thought.

“A lot of sweat for nothing.”

Too late to do anything about it, now.

So the following week found me back up on top of the ridge, picking out another tree, pulling the stand and moving it 40 yards to the other side of the trail/movement zone so that the prevailing breeze (from the southwest) would be in my face and hit any deer moving on the trail first.

Now, there was a time when the: “it is good enough” attitude would

have prevailed. And experienced deer hunters know that, no matter what, either stand would produce deer sightings.

But when after truly wild and hard-hunted big bucks and old does with a bow and arrow, hunters need every edge they can get. “ S i g h t ings” may be fine for a shotgun, camera or rifle stand, but not for a bow.

Just 10 yards can make all the difference.

Correct placement of a tree stand is crucial.

After a stand is hung, work on the stand is still not done.

Next comes the pruning of tree limbs for shooting lanes.

Prune the limbs so that a deer coming in has some cover but at the optimal range (I like about 20 yards), there are openings to shoot through, at ideally 270 degrees in around in front.

A wide clear, park-like space is not a good thing, much as one might think.

Shooting corridors, instead, allow an arrow to fly unimpeded. But also, there’s enough cover so that when a deer walks past, its head is behind a tree or brush, allowing us to come to full draw.

Whitetails have spooked uncountable times when a hunter drew back his bow after clearing out too much

obstructing brush when tuning up the stand site.

And a couple hints about trimming out a stand: Make sure any saplings cut are cut at ground level and cover up the little stump with leaves. Drag the downed sapling and limbs away.

No sense in announcing to every passing critter, as well as the whitetails that a deer stand is here.

I like to leave the area as natural as possible.

Back up in the stand: Imagine which direction the deer will be moving. Imagine the shot. Fold the seat down and see where is best to hang your bow, or later after archery season, the gun so when the deer is coming, there will be a minimum of movement and zero noise.

I like to practice this over and over so there are no surprises, like interfering limbs and twigs.

But sometimes, no matter how much we plan, figure and dream; our stands may need further tuning.

Deer may be reacting to changing food sources, to pressure from other hunters, shifting wind patterns, and human land use patterns.

So we might even have to move it again.

Can a stimulus deal be reached?

Reed said the president’s interest and bi-partisan support for elements of the plan have reignited the debate over getting a deal done before Election Day, Nov. 3.

“From my perspective, I’m not interested in blaming each side right now because we’re moving in the right direction,” Reed said. “But fundamentally, this is a sign of the times where it’s a pox on everyone’s house in the sense of Congress. They are so focused on politics rather than what is needed for the American people.”

Reed’s comments, though, came before the death Friday

daily due to their race, ethnicity, or gender identity. The ability to communicate in a setting of collaboration and partnership has been enlightening for all of us,” he added.

The group was launched in early August to engage the community and foster trust, fairness and legitimacy, and address any racial bias and disproportionate policing of com-

munities of color.

Stakeholders participating in discussions with the core group include business leaders, elected and appointed officials, and leaders from non-profits agencies, advocacy groups, faith based groups, LGBTQ+, Asian, Hispanic, and AfricanAmerican identified minority groups, he said.

In addition to meeting with

stakeholders and special interest groups for feedback and recommendations, the core group is surveying incoming centralized arraignment court detainees about their perception of treatment by arresting agencies, according to Allard.

Key to the overall review is an online anonymous survey of the community at large, already posted on different agen-

cies’ social media pages with responses from 1,400 people so far, he said.

“We want to encourage people in the county to take that survey,” Allard told the committee. “It’s the best way for everyone to have their say.”

The community survey is located at www.surveymonkey. com/r/T8CCMXW.

night of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Naming her successor will dominate the debate in Congress.

Still, the $2.2 trillion CARES Act ran out over the summer, and states, small businesses and unemployed Americans are clamoring for more relief.

The deal included a $600 a week payment to those unemployed. It expired July 31, but Trump unilaterally approved an additional $300 a week that in New York has been retroactively going out for the subsequent six-week period.

The Problem Solvers plan would include $450 a week for eight weeks and then up to $600 a week, but not to exceed 100% of a person’s previous wage.

Analysts warned the lack of another stimulus package could put the nation back into the recession of a decade ago.

“If they don’t approve another stimulus, they’re taking a huge risk,” Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, told USA TODAY. “The odds are better than even the economy backslides.”

Calls for aid to states Gov. Andrew Cuomo has been urging Congress to provide aid to states that have seen revenue plummet about the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cuomo warned last week that New York would have to raise taxes and make cuts to programs and services without federal aid to close a $13 billion budget gap. Already, New York has withheld 20% of aid to schools and municipalities.

“We’re waiting to see if Congress does something” Cuomo said Sept. 10.

“But without federal help, yes, you’d have to increase tax-

es. Yes, you’d have to do cuts.

Yes, you’d have to do borrowing. No one has ever tried to close a gap this big.”

The Problem Solvers would provide $500 billion to states, as they have sought, and another $145 billion to schools and day cares.

The federal package would be re-evaluated in March depending on the virus’ ongoing impact on the economy.

Tracy Mitrano, Reed’s Democratic opponent this year in the sprawling 23rd Congressional District that runs through central and western New York, said she’s all for helping New Yorkers through a new stimulus package.

But she knocked Reed’s work and the Problem Solvers, accusing them of not accomplishing much since its formation in 2017.

“I see the Problem Solvers Caucus as showboating,” she

said. “It may have been well-intentioned by some of the original people who wanted to get through the paralysis in Congress, but what it has become is political theater.”

Reed spokesman Nathaniel Sizemore disputed Mitrano’s stance.

“Tom’s leadership has united even the Washington Post and New York Post Editorial Boards as we work to deliver the relief Americans deserve,” he said in a statement. “This is why you can’t trust Tracy and her words — they are designed to mislead the public, as opposed to the work Tom is doing to unite the country.”

Forty church members showed up and 19 of them tested positive for the virus, Moss said.

“We have a cluster here. The tracing investigation is ongoing,” he said. “We’re not getting the help from the church we were hoping to get. They said ‘God will look out for them.’ But they are coming in contact with elderly folks and children and the outbreak grows and grows.”

Moss said parishioners or anyone who knows a member of the Lighthouse Baptist

Church should reach out immediately to the Chemung County Health Department, or get tested at one of several sites set up by local hospitals.

County Public Health Director Peter Buzzetti said several members of the church attended a wedding in another county recently, and added it’s possible they could have infected other people at that gathering, or conversely could have picked up the disease from them.

“If you attended the (Lighthouse Baptist) church recently,

get in touch with the health department and get tested,” Buzzetti said. “We’re seeing community transmission. We know of at least 80 other contacts associated with these patients.

This turned out to be pretty concerning from a community transmission standpoint.”

The county was informed of several additional confirmed cases, bringing the total of positive cases associated with the church to 29, Buzzetti said.

As many as five counties could be involved in the cluster, he said.

Chemung County is working with other Southern Tier counties and with the state Department of Health on a contact tracing investigation, Moss said.

“We are on top of it,” he said.

“The investigation is ongoing.

Hopefully we can contain the numbers.”

Anyone who attended any events at Lighthouse Baptist Church or knows church members is urged to contact the Chemung County Health Department at 607-737-2028.

efforts have been very successful; many of the trees we planted are already helping to shade the river,” said Al Kraus, the chapter’s Conservation Chairman. “We have planted many more trees since we completed the Millennium Funding Project.”

This latest project will be completed in partnership with the NY Department of Environmental Conservation and Steuben County Soil and

Water Conservation District.

Furthermore, to reduce costs and promote stewardship of the Cohocton River much of the work will be completed by Chapter members and local volunteers.

The Chapter greatly appreciates the Whiting and Reinhart families for providing the access needed to complete this project. Current plans are to install the log and boulder structures in the river in July

2021 and plant the trees/bushes in May 2022. This project will be of great benefit to both the trout that reside in the river and the many individuals that spend time enjoying this great natural resource. Anyone wanting to find out more about this project or Trout Unlimited can contact Al Kraus at conservation@canandaiguala keTU.org. Embrace A Stream is a matching grant program administered by Trout Unlim-

ited that awards funds to local chapters and councils for coldwater fisheries conservation.

Since its inception in 1975, the grant program has funded more than 1,100 individual projects for a total of $4.75 million in direct cash grants.

Local chapters and councils contributed an additional $14 million in cash and in-kind services to EAS funded projects, for a total investment of more than $19 million.

Reimbursement available for meals

Do you provide legally-exempt, licensed or registered child care and want to earn $50-$1,000 extra a month by serving nutritious meals? The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) puts money back into an eligible child care provider’s pocket.

Child Care Aware® of Steuben and Schuyler (CCAoSS) is the Steuben and Schuyler County sponsor for CACFP, a federally funded program which reimburses providers for nutritious meals served to the children in their program. The online claiming process makes the required record-keeping a snap, taking less than 5 minutes a day.

CCAoSS helps child care providers access the funding that they are eligible to receive, as well as, support the providers to operate their businesses as economically as possible.

Contact Rachel Hurd at 607-776-2126 or 800553-2033 ext. 218 for more information.
