Law to release 3,800 inmates Joseph Spector, Chad Arnold and Saba Ali New York State Team ALBANY – New York courts are in the process of releasing at least 3,800 inmates in county prisons under a new law taking effect Jan. 1 that ends cash bail for many offenses as they await the adjudication of their cases.

The number of inmates across the state to be released was tallied by the USA TODAY Network New York by contacting all 62 counties in New York in recent weeks as courts go case by case to determine who needs to be let go. All but nine small counties responded.

The measure, passed by the state Legislature in March, has

become increasingly controversial as law enforcement officials said they fear it will lead to dangerous people back on the streets in cases that involve burglary, domestic incidents or drug arrests.

And they warn that, without holding inmates on cash bail until their cases are decided, it will be difficult to get them to return for their court dates. The

estimated number of inmates being released would be enough to fill some upstate arenas, like those in Utica, Elmira and Poughkeepsie.

“I am upset. I am very concerned for the safety of our citizens,” said Brooks Baker, the Republican district attorney in Steuben County. see LAW | 11A

Steuben County Clerk Judith Hunter speaks to county legislators Tuesday about New York’s new “Green Light” law, which will allow driver’s licenses to be issued to undocumented immigrants.

‘Green Light’ turns yellow New law not ready to be implemented in Steuben

By James Post, Steuben Courier and Gannett New York State News Team BATH – Citing a lack of certainty and clear information on the state’s new law allowing undocumented immigrants to be issued driver’s licenses, Steuben County Clerk Judith Hunter told legislators Tuesday she would be referring any such applications to the state DMV office in Binghamton.

The law technically goes into effect Saturday, but DMV offices won’t be open until Monday, Dec. 16.

Hunter, speaking to the Legislature’s Administration Committee, said she isn’t comfortable issuing licenses under the new “Green Light” law.

“My thought was that there would be a stay [stopping the implementation of the law],” Hunter said.

For now, she said, in consultation with the committee and County Attorney Jennifer Prossick, the plan is to tell anyone applying for a permit under the terms of the new law that they will have to go to Binghamton.

While the DMV is a state agency, within the county, licenses are

Any undocumented person applying under the new law would have to follow the same routine as anyone else: First a learner’s permit and a written test (available in multiple languages), then a road test to be fully licensed.

Hunter said information provided to counties has been inadequate.

“We were [given] one hour of training [last week],” Hunter said. “There are over 100 regulation changes.” She said she’s not

Andrew Cuomo recently signed a new law aimed at reducing the number of “nuisance calls” received by New Yorkers, bolstering privacy protections established by the state’s Do Not Call Law.

Contractor paperwork omission costs Steuben

BATH – Bids for the first phase of Steuben County’s project to make more space for court facilities came in within projections — but County Manager Jack Wheeler said the

Wheeler, speaking Tuesday to the Legislature’s Ad Hoc Office Space Committee, said some contractors failed to include key paperwork in their bids.

Interact Club makes cards for veterans Submitted Members of the BathHaverling Central School Interact Club, sponsored by the Bath Rotary Club, recently made Thanksgiving cards for veterans at the VA in Bath. The students wanted to honor those who had served our country throughout the years.

They were certain that veterans would enjoy receiving handmade cards.

The 2019-2020 officers for this student-oriented service organization are: Sofia Orfanidis, President; Angela Beyler, Vice-President; Taylor Edwards, Secretary; Raegan Faulkner, Treasurer.

Cheryl Muller serves as the Bath Rotary Club’s Advisor to this student organization; assisted by Amanda Chafee, Bath Rotarian, and Angela Mattoon, who will be inducted into the Bath Rotary Club in early January.

Interact, established in 1962, is a service club for youth ages 12-18 and one of Rotary International’s fastest growing programs.

These student clubs benefit from the sponsorship by individual Rotary clubs which provide support and guidance. The organization has a membership of approximately 400,000 youth in more than 17,000 clubs worldwide; with clubs in over 135 countries and geographical areas. Its global youth network provides an opportunity for

Public Defender Shawn Sauro said while he doesn’t agree with all the changes, the state’s new laws, which focus on protecting the rights of criminal defendants, serve two purposes: respecting rights under the constitution, and ultimately improving public safety.

tion of the worth of each individual; to emphasize acceptance of individual responsibility as the basis of personal success, community improvement, and group achievement; to develop life skills, including self-development, time management, and personal finances; to recognize the dignity and value of all useful occupations as opportunities to serve society; to provide opportunities for gaining increased knowledge and understanding of community, national, and world affairs; to open avenues of personal and group action leading to the advancement of international understanding and goodwill toward all people.

Sauro defends new laws

“It’s the right to a fair and speedy trial, and it’s the right to liberty,” Sauro said. “Across the state, people languished in jail days, weeks, months, because they were just flatout too poor to get bail.

It’s not just downstate, it’s upstate, too. For a lot of these people, if you set bail at $100, it might as well be $1 million.

“Although you are innocent until proven guilty, you will sit in jail while you protest.

[However], if you have the money to defend yourself, you can do so from a position of freedom.”

Legislator Steven

Maio of Corning said people often don’t understand who is actually in the county jail, which is largely used for pretrial detention.

“The jail is not filled with people who have been convicted of crimes,” Maio said. “The jail right now is filled with people who have not been convicted of a crime.”

Sauro told legislators there are multiple studies that show even short stays in jail can have major effects on a person’s likelihood to return to jail or prison in the future. see DEFENDS | 6A

Happy Holidays!

BREAKING NEWS: Millions of Americans take the supplement CoQ10.

It’s the “jet fuel” that supercharges your cells’ power generators, known as mitochondria.

As you age, your mitochondria begin to die. In fact, by age 67, you lose 80% of the mitochondria you had at age 25.1 But if you’re taking CoQ10, there’s something important you should know.

As powerful as CoQ10 is, there is a critical thing it fails to do. It can’t create new mitochondria in your cells.

Taking CoQ10 is not enough “There’s a little-known NASA nutrient that multiplies the number of new power generators in your cells by up to 55%,” says Dr. Al Sears, owner of the Sears Institute for AntiAging Medicine in Royal Palm Beach, Florida. “Science once thought this was impossible. But now you can make your heart, brain and body young again.”

“I tell my patients the most important thing I can do is increase their ‘health span.’ This is the length of time you can live free of disease and with all your youthful abilities and faculties intact.”

Medical first: Multiply the “power generators” in your cells Al Sears, M.D., recently released an energy-boosting supplement based on this NASA nutrient that has become so popular, he’s having trouble keeping it in stock.

Dr. Sears is the author of over 500 scientific papers on anti-aging and recently spoke at the WPBF 25 Health & Wellness Festival featuring Dr. Oz and special guest Suzanne Somers. Thousands of people listened to Dr. Sears speak on his anti-aging breakthroughs and attended his book signing at the event.

Now, Dr. Sears has come up with what his peers consider his greatest contribution to anti-aging medicine yet — a newly discovered nutrient that multiplies the number of tiny, energyproducing “engines” located inside the body’s cells, shattering the limitations of traditional CoQ10 supplements.

Why mitochondria matter A single cell in your body can contain between 200 to 2,000 mitochondria, with the largest number found in the most metabolically active cells, like those in your brain, heart and skeletal muscles.

But because of changes in cells, stress and poor diet, most people’s power generators begin to malfunction and die off as they age. In fact, the Mitochondria Research Society reports 50 million U.S. adults are suffering from health problems because of mitochondrial dysfunction.

Common ailments often associated with aging — such as memory problems, heart issues, blood sugar concerns and vision and hearing difficulties — can all be connected to a decrease in mitochondria.

Birth of new mitochondria Dr. Sears and his researchers combined the most powerful form of CoQ10 available — called ubiquinol — with a unique, newly discovered natural compound called PQQ that has the remarkable ability to grow new mitochondria. Together, the two powerhouses are now available in a supplement called Ultra Accel II. Discovered by a NASA probe in space dust, PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline quinone) stimulates something called “mitochondrial biogenesis” — a unique process that actually boosts the number of healthy mitochondria in your cells.

In a study published in the Journal of Nutrition, mice fed PQQ grew a staggering number of new mitochondria, showing an increase of more than 55% in just eight weeks.

Advertising and news submission EARLY deadlines: Edition: Sunday, Dec. 22 • Deadline: Monday, Dec. 16, 3pm

The mice with the strongest mitochondria showed no signs of aging — even when they were the equivalent of 80 years old.

If your bottle of CoQ10 does not have this NASA nutrient in it, then you are NOT getting the full benefits of CoQ10

Science stands behind the power of PQQ Biochemical Pharmacology reports that PQQ is up to 5,000 times more efficient in sustaining energy production than common antioxidants.

“Imagine 5,000 times more efficient energy,” says Dr. Sears. “PQQ has been a game changer for my patients.”

“With the PQQ in Ultra Accel, I have energy I never thought possible,” says Colleen R., one of Dr. Sears’ patients.

“I am in my 70s but feel 40 again. I think clearer, move with real energy and sleep like a baby.”

It works right away Along with an abundance of newfound energy, users also report a sharper, more focused mind and memory, and even youngerlooking skin and hair. Jerry M. from Wellington, Florida, used Ultra Accel and was amazed at the effect.

“I noticed a difference within a few days,” says Jerry. “My endurance almost doubled. But it’s not just in your body. You can feel it mentally, too,” says Jerry. “Not only do I feel a difference, but the way it protects my cells is great insurance against a health disaster as I get older.”

Increase your health span today The demand for this supplement is so high, Dr. Sears is having trouble keeping it in stock. “My patients tell me they feel better than they have in years. This is ideal for people who are feeling or looking older than their age… or for those who are tired or growing more forgetful.”

“My favorite part of practicing anti-aging medicine is watching my patients get the joy back in their lives.

Ultra Accel sends a wake-up call to every cell in their bodies… and they actually feel young again.”

Where to find Ultra Accel II Right now, the only way to get this potent combination of PQQ and superpowered CoQ10 is with Dr. Sears’ breakthrough Ultra Accel II formula.

To secure bottles of this hot, new supplement, buyers should contact the Sears Health Hotline at 1-866-504-4072 within the next 48 hours. “It takes time to get bottles shipped out to drug stores,” said Dr. Sears. “The Hotline allows us to ship the product directly to the customer.”

Dr. Sears feels so strongly about this product, he offers a 100%, money-back guarantee on every order. “Just send me back the bottle and any unused product within 90 days, and I’ll send you your money back,” said Dr. Sears.

The Hotline will be taking orders for the next 48 hours. After that, the phone number will be shut down to allow them to restock.

OPINION

Sen. Tom O’Mara:

State leaders eye higher taxes, again Several months ago in this column, I highlighted warnings about a coming storm in New York’s system of Medicaid.

In early September, I pointed to a little noticed report from the state Budget Division that Medicaid spending “continues to exceed expectations.” Shortly thereafter, the state comptroller revealed that the state Medicaid program made more than $100 million in duplicate payments and reiterated the longstanding need to “eliminate this waste” and “improve efficiency.“ All of which presented the chance to restate long-held criticisms that Medicaid remains a system too often undermined by fraud, mismanagement, and waste. Overall annual spending on Medicaid approaches $80 billion, nearly one-half of New York’s entire state budget. Medicaid watchdogs note that the system now provides benefits to at least one-third of all state residents.

Consequently, I wrote back in September, “As enrollment figures continue to soar, it becomes clearer by the day that counties and local property taxpayers simply cannot sustain this burden.”

Little did we know, because since September reports have surfaced that the Medicaid program has exploded and leaves the state with a $6-billion-plus budget deficit heading into 2020. The Medicaid program alone currently accounts for a $4-billion shortfall and multibillion gaps well into the future.

According to one analysis from the Empire Center, “The remarkable thing about the state’s multi-billiondollar Medicaid crisis is that it is almost entirely the result of the Cuomo administration’s own actions…The problem is not a shortfall of revenue, but a spike in spending – which is the direct consequence of policy changes and political deals made

by Cuomo and his team.”

Many of us have warned many times across the past decade that New York’s Medicaid system overreaches as a public policy, overspends as a government program, and is misman-

aged. A recent Buffalo News editorial references this longstanding criticism by recalling a 2014 report from the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation showing that New York State administered America’s eighth-most costly Medicaid program with a per-enrollee cost 36% higher than the national average. California’s system was the fourth least expensive, by contrast.

Furthermore, the current system places an enormous burden on local property taxpayers. County executives, mayors, and other local officials throughout the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes regions, and statewide, continually point to Medicaid as their most burdensome and costly unfunded state mandate.

Now it’s out in the open: Medicaid is a fiscal train wreck barreling out of control toward future generations of state and local taxpayers. Addressing this crisis now becomes the defining issue of the 2020 legislative session. It presents an opportunity to remake the system into one that is less costly, more efficient and effective for those it is truly meant to service, and more responsible to taxpayers.

It presents an opportunity to put in place badly needed and long-overdue spending controls, and get rid of the mismanagement. Right?

Recently, when asked about the crisis, the Democrat leader of the State Assembly said that “when there’s a concern about having enough money, the two options always are do you cut spending or do you raise revenue and for us in the Assembly we always believe in raising revenue.”

The Democrat leadership of the state Senate is taking a wait-and-see approach. Governor Cuomo plans to reveal his response early next year.

Ominously, what we’re not hearing is this: No new taxes.

In fact, my fear is that the state Assembly Speaker may be speaking for them all when he says the first place to turn to address this crisis resulting from overspending and mismanagement is to raise taxes, again, on already overburdened taxpayers.

Typical New York.

Rivenbark:

Ad is creepy but compelling

By Celia Rivenbark More Content Now

Like any normal American woman who lives off snark and Little Debbie Raisin Cakes, I was completely mystified the first time I saw the now famous Peloton ad.

Why does that pretty lil waif look so worried when her controlling 50 shades of stupid husband gives her an overpriced exercise bike for Christmas?

But first, some background. The $2,400 exercise bike is a Peloton (from the Latin, “pelo” meaning “pretentious and extra” and “ton” meaning “yeah, I’m talking to you”). The company has been slammed for previous ads that seemed deliberately snobby.

Part of me has a grudging respect for any company that has the stones to unapologetically wallow in its elitism. Every ad shows a super fit lil hank o’ hair peddling

her fool head off, sweating like she was working down in the engine room in the Titanic. Except her sweat smells less like beer made in somebody’s boot and more like an intoxicating blend of jasmine and blood diamonds.

They stop just short of ending every commercial with: “Peloton. Because most of y’all are way too POOR to ever own one.”

So, yes, all that is part of the branding and Peloton has a kitschy sort of “brand you love to hate” image that seems to work for them.

Until...

There was just something in this hashtag metoo world that didn’t sit right with viewers of this year’s ad. The waif ’s darting, vaguely terrified eyes when she’s presented this “gift” gave me, and others, pause.

I haven’t seen that kind of on-screen fear of a creepy husband since Julia Roberts hid out on an

island to elude her homicidal other half in “Sleeping With the Enemy.”

Terrifying.

Note to marketing team: We know your brand leans in hard when it comes to being hilariously elitist but you’re no worse than Matthew McConaughey sitting in that Lincoln like a damn fool talking to himself and admiring his own cufflinks. Problem is, you can’t be that tone-deaf these days. Poor Peloton waif looks terrified she won’t live up to HIS fitness goals for her. At the end, she shows him how far she’s come via videos that proclaim her fitness levels as, like, really high.

(Unlike my own, which translate as “more blue cheese dressing than blood in her veins.”)

Even the most fitnessobsessed rich person would probably resent getting the modern-day equivalent of a vacuum cleaner for Christmas.

It’s just so utilitarian.

Here’s a pop quiz for loyal readers: If Duh Hubby unveils a “reconditioned” treadmill from Ollie’s (we aren’t at Peloton levels, duh) or any sort of workout equipment for me Christmas morning, I will be (A) outwardly plucky and polite but secretly disappointed and a little hurt, (B) honestly touched that he cares so much about my cardiovascular health and obviously wants to keep me around a long time, or (C) outside in the driveway tampering with his brakes and figuring I can finally eat ALL the sticky buns.

Oh. Sometimes it scares me a little how well y’all know me.

Hopkins:

America has a diverse population

By Mark L. Hopkins More Content Now

What a shock it must be for a visitor from India or China to visit the United States. In his country, almost everyone a visitor meets on the street will look like him with black hair, dark eyes and similar skin color. Not so here. Really, not so. If he gets off of an airplane at Los Angeles International the first four people he meets are likely to be of Hispanic, Asian, African or European descent with black, brown, red or blond hair.

From coast to coast and from mountains to bayous, we are more diverse as a people than any other country in the world. That is true in how we look, in language and especially in politics.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt called America a “melting pot,” and listed diversity as one of our great strengths.

Other great strengths are the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and a healthy respect for the rights of individuals, local government and states to

express their individuality. America is not a “onesize-fits-all country.”

The 2010 census tells us that despite our diversity, we tend to cluster by ancestral origin. Our Hispanic population is heaviest in the Southwest and Southern Florida, Asian in the New York region and on the west coast, and African in the South and the inner cities of the North. Those of European descent are spread all over.

One of the truths of humankind is that we tend to gravitate toward where there are others like us. That is true with where we chose to live, whether red states or blue; where we send our children to school, whether public or private and where we go to church, whether Catholic, Protestant, or “other.”

The old saying, “Birds of a feather flock together,” holds true. The acceptance of that premise is step one in holding our loose knit federal union together.

As diverse as we are, should it surprise us that residents of Arizona and

California who must deal with illegal immigration every day want more restrictive laws than Missouri or Indiana? Should it surprise us that New York City, with a Muslim population of 450,000, would approve the building of an Islamic Culture Center right down town on Manhattan Island?

Should it surprise us that the people of Nevada want to have gambling and legalized prostitution? These things may not be our “cup of tea” and not something we want to have in our community. But, the fact that those who live in Arizona, California, Nevada and New York want to be different, just shows our diversity.

That is also true with gun laws. I grew up in a small town in the heartland of America where people did not lock their doors and cars were parked on the street with impunity. People there just shake their heads at the serious problems cities like Chicago have where more than 700 people lost their lives to gun violence last year.

Is it any wonder that people in Chicago want to own guns to protect their families? That, despite the statistics that a gun in the home is four times as likely to kill a family member than an intruder.

In recent months we have seen much more negative rhetoric regarding issues that used to be settled by compromise. It is debilitating in government to watch different sides of a philosophical disagreement dig in their heels and say, “my way or no way.” Such attitudes cause the wheels of government to grind to a halt.

We need to recognize reality. We are a diverse people and, with patience and tolerance, we should be able to accept our diversity and celebrate our strengths. And, we should be able to disagree without being disagreeable. (They do read this column in Washington D.C., don’t they?)

Standing high-knee pulse tones the whole body

tion by lifting and lowering the bent knee, just by a few inches at a time.

(Keep it at waist level.)

Use your midsection and core to balance your body and keep yourself from tipping over. You will feel this exercise in your tummy and your quads, and you will also be getting a static hold in your balancing leg. Give yourself at least 10 to 20 pulses per side, for at least three sets on each. If your balance is compromised, simply place your hand on a wall or chair back for extra stabilization.

This exercise is great on its own for a little reenergizing, and also fits in well with any core and lower-body routine!

The year is rapidly nearing its end, which means the hustle and bustle of the holidays are upon us. With all of these extras crammed into one month, our bodies need to be prepared for the extra workload.

Our move today is a standing high-knee pulse. It is perfect to tone your body in all the right places.

Begin this move by standing tall. Hold your chest up, roll your shoulders back and down, and engage your midsection. Extend both arms straight out from either side of your body, and shift your weight onto one foot, lifting and bending in your free leg.

Now you should look similar to a flamingo!

Chorale to present concerts at FLCC CANANDAIGUA – The Finger Lakes Chorale will give its annual holiday concert on Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 14 and 15, at 3 p.m. at the Finger Lakes Community College main campus.

Entry is free. The FLCC main campus is at 3325 Marvin Sands Drive, off Lakeshore Drive in Canandaigua.

CALL Continued from 1A any personal contact information without a consumer’s consent.

“With these new protections, we can help ensure New Yorkers receive fewer unwanted calls and their privacy is protected once and for all,” Cuomo said in a statement.

The law builds on privacy protections established in the state’s Do Not Call Law, which allowed consumers to add their landline and mobile numbers to the national Do Not Call Registry beginning in 2001.

That law, however, applied only to prerecorded telemarketing calls, otherwise known as robocalls, but made no mention of receiving calls from live telemarketers.

The loophole led to a surge in telemarketing calls from a live person, giving companies a “license to annoy New Yorkers,” Cuomo said.

How does the law work?

The new law requires any telemarketer to inform consumers they have a right to be added to the seller’s internal do-not-call list.

If a consumer opts to have their name added to the list, the telemarketer must immediately end the call and add the person’s name to the list.

The new requirement will “curb” the number of nuisance calls received by New Yorkers, said Sen. Todd Kaminsky, D-Long Island, the bill’s sponsor.

“People live busy lives, and the last thing that they need to deal with are disruptive calls from telemarketers,” Kaminsky said in a statement.

Americans received an estimated 16.3 billion nuisance calls in the first five months of 2018 alone, according to a memo attached to the bill.

And a total of 29% of calls received on cell phones that same year were nuisance calls. That number is expected to rise to around 45% this year, according to the bill.

“These figures illustrate an urgency and necessity to enact legislation to protect consumers from the ever-increasing nuisance posed by these unwanted calls,” the memo reads.

The law also prohibits telemarketers from transmitting any personal contact information, such as names, telephone numbers and email addresses, without the consent of the consumer in either writing or an electronic format.

GREEN

Continued from 1A taking a side on the issue, or refusing to comply with the state law if the court doesn’t step in.

“I definitely don’t want to say we are refusing,” Hunter said. “We are simply not able to help those people because we haven’t been given the proper tools and training.”

She acknowledged, in response to a question from Legislator Robin Lattimer of Bath, that she doesn’t expect a large number of undocumented immigrants to apply for licenses in Steuben County.

County Attorney Jennifer Prossick said there’s a conflict between federal and state authorities over which law takes precedence.

“There’s a preemption fight going on,” she told legislators. “The state is saying that they’re not preempted from regulating in this area of law (immigration) – the federal government said, ‘Yes, you are.’ “Starting Monday, we don’t know if [the clerk] should enforce state law or federal law.”

“Either way, I’m doomed,” Hunter added.

“The governor is making threats that any county clerk that

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2019 • STEUBEN COURIER

does not enforce the state law would be removed and replaced,” Prossick said.

Later in the day Tuesday, The Courier was informed by the Clerk’s Office that Hunter had left the office and would be on vacation for two weeks.

The driver’s licenses that would be issued to undocumented immigrants under the new law won’t comply with federal requirements.

So, for example, the license could not be used to board an airline.

The state DMV, according to the law, can stamp “Not for Federal Purposes” on driver’s licenses issued to those using foreign documents to prove age and identity.

The state law also bars officials such as county clerks from releasing information about undocumented immigrants to federal officials, including immigration authorities.

New York would be one of 13 states to have such a law in place.

Hunter is not the only county clerk saying she is unprepared to deal with the changes.

Many say their offices are not equipped to determine the veracity of the documents that can soon be submitted to obtain a license.

“They want to us to make a de-

cision right at the window as to whether something is fraudulent or acceptable,” Rensselaer County Clerk Frank Merola told the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, adding, “I’m not going to make a major mistake.”

Rensselaer is one of the counties challenging the law in court, along with Monroe and Erie.

Supporters said the new law will aid people who want to legally drive, help law enforcement and require the new license holders to get automobile insurance — which will make the roads safer.

The Migrant Policy Institute, a national think tank on immigration issues, estimated there are 882,000 New Yorkers over the age of 16 without legal status in the U.S. Four years after Connecticut passed a similar law, the DMV there said it had a reduction in hitand-run crashes and a decline in unlicensed driving tickets.

“This law will boost our state’s economy, improve road safety, and keep families together,” Javier H. Valdés, co-executive director at Make the Road New York, an immigrant advocacy group, told the Democrat and Chronicle.

“It’s not going to be ‘The Purge,’” he said, referring to a series of recent horror films in which law enforcement is temporarily suspended and mayhem ensues.

The county will conduct reviews of cases throughout December to determine which inmates are eligible for release, Sauro noted. There won’t be a mass exodus from the county jail on Jan. 1.

Sauro, speaking to The Courier following the meeting, noted that a significant number of defendants in the county end up serving their sentence before being convicted of a crime.

People frequently spend weeks or months in jail awaiting trial, and then jump at the chance to plead guilty in exchange for being sentenced to “time served,” Sauro said, because it allows them to be released.

Choosing to go to trial will pro-

long a defendant’s time in jail — unless they can afford bail.

He noted that defendants who are free on bail — currently those with higher incomes — are more able to contribute to their own defense, and better able to communicate with their attorney.

He said there are some categories of crimes eligible for release without bail that he finds questionable.

Prosecutors and other law enforcement officials have been circulating a list of criminal charges eligible for release without bail under the new law, which includes some assault and even homicide charges.

Sauro said judges are still able to exercise their own discretion in determining whether to release a defendant, though the law says prior convictions can’t be considered.

DEFENDS Continued from 3A “If you aren’t indigent when you go to jail, you likely are when you leave,” he said.

He said that’s because even a few days incarcerated often means losing your job, losing family and social connections, losing your housing or even losing custody of a child. Those are the obligations and connections that often keep people out of the criminal justice system.

Sauro said other states have already implemented similar changes to their bail systems without experiencing major problems. He also said in areas such as Brooklyn with community bail funds, where groups pay bail for those awaiting trial, more than 95 percent of those people return for court appearances.

PAPERWORK Continued from 1A

Wheeler said.

He said it’s a problem that’s happened once before, so officials made certain the requirement was very clear to bidders.

In this case, some of the bids that failed to include the Iranian divestment form were lower than those that completed the process correctly.

According to Wheeler, the approximately $2 million first phase of the project would likely have been $100,000 cheaper if all participating contractors had just filled out the form.

He said rebidding the project would be a problem, because the bids are now public, so prices could go up. Plus there is a cost associated with even conducting a bid process. “[There are] no guaranteed savings, and definite additional costs,” Wheeler told the committee.

He said the law also requires providing a good reason for rejecting the bids of those who did their paperwork correctly in order to seek new bids.

“Next time around, we’re going to have a table with those forms and prod everyone to make sure they have submitted them,” Wheeler said.

The committee on Tuesday also made the decision to pay for the project out of its fund balance rather than borrowing.

That was based on a calculation that a state offer of partial reimbursement of cash spending was a larger savings than

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2019

another program that would make borrowing slightly cheaper. “The state has committed to between $100,000 and $150,000 in reimbursement for the 2019-20 construction year,” Wheeler told legislators.

Funds for future years of the fouryear project aren’t guaranteed due to the state budget process, but Wheeler said he was assured the funding would be officially requested.

“It looks like now that we have at least $100,000 committed,” using fund balance is the most cost effective approach, Wheeler said.

The first phase of the state-mandated project involves moving the county Legislature chambers, the Clerk of the Legislature’s office, the County Manager’s Office and the county’s Planning Office from the main county office building into the third floor of the new Annex Building.

It also includes moving the Public Works department downstairs into the area vacated by Cornell Cooperative Extension, which is now in the Annex, and renovations to bring the space for the Surrogate Court and clerk up to state specs.

The more extensive second phase will include the creation of a new courtroom where the Legislature chambers are now and the relocation of the county District Attorney’s office, among many other elements.

The most-visited county offices – the DMV, County Clerk’s Office, Probation Office and Department of Social Services – will remain where they are now.

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 bedroom performance they enjoyed in their 30’s.

America’s best-selling sexual performance enhancer just got a lot better.

It’s the latest breakthrough for nitric oxide – the molecule that makes erections possible by increasing blood flow to your penis.

Dr. Sears is the author of more than 500 scientific papers. Thousands of people listened to him speak at the recent Palm Beach Health & Wellness Festival featuring Dr. Oz. NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Namath recently visited his clinic, the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine.

“I measured my nitric oxide levels, you can buy a test kit from Amazon,” reports 48-year-old Jeff O. “Monday night I showed depleted.”

WHAT’S UP at MOSSY BANK PARK Dec. 15 – As happens around this time every year, the village utility company places a large star in front of the Overlook Pavilion at Mossy Bank Park, easily seen atop the hill just west of the Village of Bath.

This year, equipped with brighter LED bulbs, it shines so brightly it blurs the star’s outline when viewed from some places in the Village below. I assume this display represents the Star of Bethlehem which guided The Magi to the east in the biblical story about the birth of Jesus, whose birth was to be the Light of the World. By heritage, ours is an overwhelmingly Christian village; and I have no quibble with the display.

Alternatively, from a secular view, the star could be the promise of the eventual increase in daylight following the Winter Solstice. Religion at its best unites man with Nature.

Often neglected these days is the significance of the Christian season of Advent. This solemn season of darkness but anticipation is represented in churches by somber hymns, purple vestures, and in past times, by fasting. Joyous celebration of the season was reserved for after Christmas Day. These short days of winter do seem like an appropriate time for reflection on what has transpired, and after so doing, a look forward in anticipation. If the natural world is your focus, such reflection is solemn indeed.

According to the United Nations annual assessment of the state of the planet, “The summary findings are bleak”.

The most glaring problem is climate change.

World atmospheric CO2 levels have risen 1.5% every year of the past decade to 410 ppm, a 32% increase over the long-term pre-industrial level of 280 ppm, and the highest on Earth in over 3 million years. The insulating effect of this rise in the greenhouse gas, CO2, will significantly warm the Earth. We are currently experiencing the predicted effects of: stronger storms, glacial melting, sea level rise and more flooding, severe droughts, and more wildfires; all endangering the lives of millions of people worldwide.

There have been no natural events sufficient to explain this trend; it is the result of fossil fuel burning. Additionally, burning fossil fuels adversely impacts air quality, endangering human health.

Petrochemicals are the source of plastics, which degrade much slower than naturally occurring substances, and are significantly polluting the

OAK DUKE

D. Randy Weidner seas. At current rates of production, by 2050 the amount of plastic in the sea will weigh more than all the remaining fish living there. Plant and animal species on Earth are going extinct at unprecedented rates due to a variety of factors, but nearly all of the causes are attributable to human activity. There are other issues as well, too numerous to discuss here, such as the threat of nuclear war.

There are things to do which will help, such as: stop burning fossil fuels and switch to renewable energies like solar and wind, drive electric vehicles, halt forest destruction, avoid plastic products, stop polluting, and restore natural habitats.

Critics say if we Americans do these things unilaterally it will hurt our economy; but this argument is unfounded. In contrast to what can be done is what the current federal government has been doing. The Trump administration has rolled back 85 environmental protections since taking office, including: 24 for controlling air pollution and emissions, 18 on drilling and extraction, 12 covering toxic substances and water pollution, 10 animal protections, and so on. The world environmental problem is so big that some economists think the goals of our whole free-market system, too easily corrupted for huge, personal, shortterm gains, need forced revision to include consideration of not just investors but the public at large. The political implications are daunting, but an analogous atmospheric danger of ozone depletion from manufactured chemicals has been successfully addressed.

So what will finally trigger action? My guess is that the economic and human cost of dealing with disasters will finally motivate politicians.

Hopefully their corrective measures will be aimed at long-term solutions, not just quick fixes or dangerous, irreversible actions like stratospheric manipulation. These are dark times indeed. For the sake of future generations, we need leaders and solutions focused on that symbolic bright light on the hill, the future light of the world, a world where humans return to our place as benign stewards of Nature, not as Nature’s menace.

Muzzleloader: Final chapter in a three-part deer season

By Oak Duke New York state’s Southern Zone kicked off it’s short annual muzzleloader season Monday, (December 9 to December 17, signaling the beginning of the end to a long, marathon of a deer season for some of us.

We start with long sunny days, balmy temps, green leaves, t-shirts, and biting bugs on October 1.

Our typical black powder…or muzzleloader deer season finishes with arctic fronts, whiteouts, snow-covered forest floors, insulated boots, short daylight, and numb fingers.

The whitetail season here in New York state’s Southern Zone, spans the time when the air is filled with mosquitoes and biting gnats and switches over to snowflakes.

The long deer season is wonderful because it allows the workingman and woman, along with those pressed-for-time students (not to mention retirees) time and a chance to get afield after whitetails.

If one considers the necessary pre-season scouting, which most of us enjoy too, then the whitetail season actually spans almost four months, from September through much of December.

We hunt deer for nearly a quarter of the entire year.

Deer season was not always this way.

Back in the old days, when deer hunting first started here in Western NY (1939 was the first deer season here in Allegany County) it only lasted one week and it was shotguns only (no centerfire rifles allowed.)

The first deer harvest in Allegany County in modern times was a total of 50 deer. Other coun-

ties in New York soon followed and implemented their own seasons as the deer herd rapidly expanded.

Now the average Southern Zone kill each year is around 100,00 bucks and 100,000 does.

And in many parts of New York state, the whitetail herd is expanding to the point where the DEC is challenged to control it.

We are certainly living in the good old days of whitetail hunting.

Not only is the success rate for deer hunters going up, but the quality and size of the animals is growing too. Last year (2018) New York’s voluntary antler restriction program showed that almost 60% (58.8%) of the bucks tagged were 2.5 years of age or older.

Slowly, as the whitetail herd expanded and the population increased to the near record populations of today (back in 2,000 and 2,001 New York had its largest deer kills) the three seasons (archery, gun and muzzleloader) increased in time and allowed the average working guy or gal a chance to get out in the woods after deer and have a reasonable chance of scoring.

We start deer hunting with our archery equipment.

The NY bow season runs from mid-September until mid-November for all practical purposes, because we must practice shooting and scout, tune our stands and blinds, at the bare minimum for two weeks before the actual Oct. 1, opener when we can legally release an arrow at a deer.

Then, six weeks later as the regular season... what we call “the gun season” dawns, now always on the third Saturday of November. The bows and arrows are stowed, and

out come the center-fire rifles and shotguns. The various camouflage patterns that we utilize with our bows and arrows are for the most part exchanged for blaze orange when we pick up the rifles in mid-November.

When the major rifle second season ends in early December, the centerfire rifles are cleaned and packed away and we exchange them for our black powder guns, in this, the third and final part to the whitetail season. Here we fill our muzzleloader/ bow tags and unfilled DMU, commonly called antlerless or doe tags.

Deer hunters are weekend warriors, having regular lives i.e. employment and deadlines, relationships with our family members, and chores and maintenance of our homes...upkeep like mowing lawns to shoveling snow. The long deer season allows us the time to choose not only when we can hunt, but the type of weapon and season we prefer.

Some deer hunters only enjoy archery season. They like hunting with a bow and arrow and the mild, beautiful time to be in the woods.

Others of us hunt only during the most popular regular gun season. That is when deer hunting is at its most efficient and the best chance for a hunter to fill a tag and stack that corner of the freezer with delicious venison.

And finally, a short muzzleloader/archery season at the end allows those of us who enjoy our “soot belchers” a chance at taking a more primitive weapon afield in the final days of the threepart season.

Black powder guns or muzzleloaders have come a long way in the last 50 years or so. I built my

first one back in the mid1970s. Back then, hunters had a choice between either flintlock or percussion guns. I still have the .54 caliber flintlock that I put together and carried in the woods for many seasons.

But mostly now, like the majority of black powder hunters, I tote my modern.50 caliber, scoped in-line when it’s snowing. The old flintlock was much more problematical when snowing or raining. We had to literally keep our powder dry.

And any flintlocker that has hunted deer has stories of misfires and hang-fires and/or pulling the trigger and the gun didn’t fire. Snow would often melt and the moisture would get in the pan or on the frizzen (metal part on the flintlock which the flint strikes to create a spark that falls in the pan and ignites the charge.)

The modern inline muzzleloaders for the most part don’t have that problem as the ignition powder system is protected. But they have their issues too. It would not be black powder season if there were not challenges in keeping the powder dry - and remembering to put the charge in first before putting in the sabot or patched lead ball. (ahem... Not that I have done that. But I have heard tell of it being done by other black powder shooters.)

But you never know, the black powder season, the end of the threephase NY deer season gives us all ample opportunities to screw up out there in this, the final traditional quest to pack some venison in the freezer.

Avoca dominates C-G

By Sean Curran Spectator Sports

CANISTEO — Jonathan Jensen scored 10 of his gamehigh 28 points in the third quarter as the Avoca Tigers built up an insurmountable lead en route to a 75-47 road win over the Canisteo-Greenwood Redskins on Wednesday evening in Canisteo.

Jensen scored at all three levels of the floor and was in control of all phases of the offense as he put together his best performance of the season in a dominating Tiger win.

“Jonathan had actually struggled a little bit coming into this game just trying to learn what his role is on this team. We have a lot of seniors, and they are tightlyknit, and it can be tough to break into that,” said Avoca coach Mike Stowe. “But he’s learning how to gel with these guys, and he finally broke free tonight and carried us in the second half.” The opening minutes of play were about as fast as it comes, and some heavy defensive pressure from both teams turned the game into a track meet.

The teams sprinted up and down, but buckets were hard to come by as Avoca used a pair of breakaway layups from Devin Stowe to grab a 6-4 lead halfway through the first.

A timeout gave each group a chance to relax, and the Redskins came out of the break with a strong game plan to take back a lead at the end of the first.

First, Hunter McCaffrey and Blake Updyke executed a perfect pick-and-roll on backto- back possessions and then Roque Santiago found Updyke in the final seconds to make it an 11-10 game after one.

The early portion of the second quarter was a back and forth affair, but as the frame progressed, the Tigers gradually took control.

Devin Stowe was phenomenal on the break, Jensen consistently got to the rim, and Pacey Hopkins filled it up from outside as Avoca’s lead grew as large as nine points in

Haverling tops Letchworth

HAVERLING — Haverling topped Letchworth 5041 Tuesday in a Livingston County Athletic Assoviation boys basketball matchup.

Haverling was led by Justin Marshall and Jordan Deats with 12 each AJ Brotz had 11 points and Thomas Binkowski added eight.

Letchworth was led by Will Shearing’s 16 points and Johhny Mertsock and Will Bean had 10.

Avoca’s Devin Stowe drives to the hoop during the first quarter of Wednesday’s game in Canisteo. the second.

By the time the first half ended, the Tigers held a strong 33-26 lead over the Redskins. That momentum carried right through the intermission, and Avoca continued to push the pace in order to force turnovers that created easy buckets in transition.

As a result, the Tigers started the third on an 11-4 run and pushed the lead past double digits at 44-30 with just four minutes left in the frame.

Avoca was led largely by the play of Jensen, who scored from all three levels of the floor and helped push the Tiger lead as high as 15 points late in the third.

“The pace is something that we’ve talked a lot about coming into this season. With the two scorers that we lost last year, everybody knew that we would have to find a way to replace 40 points per game.

We’ve focused on the tempo, and we have really focused on getting up and down,” said Stowe. “I know

we are going to give up an easy bucket from time to time, but I’m hoping that our pressure will be able to sustain for 32 full minutes.

And a lot of teams aren’t ready for that style quite yet.”

Canisteo-Greenwood made a quick run of its own to cut the lead to 10, but the Tigers still held a double digit lead at the end of the third, 51-39.

The Redskins turned to a full court press in the fourth, but Avoca’s guards were simply too fast, and an 8-1 run to start the frame all but ended any hopes of a comeback.

And as Avoca’s lead continued to grow, each team made full use of the bench until the final buzzer, where the Tigers claimed a 75-47 road win.

“When you’ve got a group of seniors that have played together their whole lives, it makes my job pretty easy,” said Stowe.

Haverling 172, Addison 115; Haverling 200, Cuba Rushford 50; Wayland-Cohocton 146, Haverling 139; Wayland- Cohocton 164, Addison 106; Wayland-Cohocton 164, Cuba-Rushford 62 HAVERLING — Haverling competed in a quad meet Tuesday against Cuba Rushford, Addison and Wayland-Cohocton.

Winners for the Rams included Wyatt Hammond in the 100 butterfly (1:01.21), Brody Baldwin in the 100 (57.51) and Haverling’s 400 free relay team of Hammond, Bram Pomplus, Baldwin and Derrick Cornish in 3:48.56. Trent Makowiec won the diving portion for the Knights with a score of 313.95. Alex Gleason and Jordan Taylor won two events each for Wayland-Cohcoton, who won seven events.

Steuben 911 system disrupted

By Jeff Smith Steuben Courier

BATH - For the second time in the past six months, the Steuben County 911 system, geared to improve public safety by facilitating the prompt deployment of police, fire, ambulance departments and others, temporarily failed.

Steuben County Manager Jack Wheeler said the Steuben County 911 system suffered a limited power interruption last Wednesday morning.

“The cause (of the power interruption) has been identified and we are in the process of remedying that,” Wheeler said. “(The county) does have multiple tower backups, but there was a single failure (Wednesday) that was not anticipated.”

Wheeler said the standard 911 power interruption occurred roughly from

7:45-8:35 a.m. Wednesday.

“It did last for 45 minutes to an hour,” Wheeler said. “But the good news is we have protocols with other (area) counties to be able to pick up our traffic and communicate it back to us, so our folks can get resources of where they need to be.”

Wheeler said county employees did a bunch of testing of the protocols while the Steuben County 911 system was down.

“From everything we’ve seen, we’re confident that no 911 traffic was dropped, but it was diverted,” Wheeler said.

Steuben County Sheriff Jim Allard disagreed.

“I was not particularly happy,” Allard said. “When (the 911 system) goes down the phones are supposed to roll

The law has divided Republicans and Democrats, upstate and downstate, and police and prison reformers.

And in the coming weeks, the release of hundreds of inmates from some counties will undoubtedly draw more scrutiny over a law passed by Democrats in Albany that critics said was hastily approved with little input from police, local leaders or district attorneys.

Local officials estimated about 25% to 30% of their jail populations may soon be released.

“What we are saying is there was a disconnect or a lack of a conversation in general,” said Binghamton Mayor Richard David, a Republican.

Supporters called the new law ‘historic’ as New York joins California and New Jersey as states that have severely restricted the use of cash bail.

Advocates said for too long, those arrested on low-level offenses were kept in jail simply because they couldn’t afford to pay their way out of prison, particularly among poor minorities. They said simply that people should be free until proven guilty, but they are often kept in jail even though they haven’t been convicted.

“We’re going to see a reduced reliance on money,” said Nicole Triplett, policy counsel for the New York Civil Liberties Union.

The reforms will also reduce the use of electronic monitoring and require judges to disclose the reasons for setting bail in cases it is required, such as violent felonies and certain misdemeanors.

“Often times you didn’t know the rationale for why someone was being released, why they were issued a certain bail amount,” Triplett said.

“If a judge, however, feels that it was necessary to make certain securing orders effective Jan. 1, 2020, they certainly retain the discretion to do so.”

Westchester County District Attorney Anthony Scarpino, a Democrat, said he supports the bail reform, and the county has already decriminalized marijuana possession and taken other steps to limit incarceration.

But he also has concerns about inmates being released on certain charges, such as domestic violence or soliciting of children, that can lead to unsafe individuals being released.

“We have been supportive of the bail reform, but there are still a few charges that are eligible for cash bail that we feel should be revisited,” he said.

Law enforcement across the state have offered similar warnings and raised other issues.

Some inmates come into court with serious drug addictions that can be addressed with jail stints. Instead, they will be back on the streets as their cases wade through the judicial process, officials said.

“There are 50 to 60 offenders in the county jail who are drug dependent; about half of them are on medical-assisted treatment through the drug rehabilitation program through the jail,” Dutchess County District Attorney William Grady said.

“When they are released on their own, courts can’t mandate them back into treatment.”

Nine counties did not provide the number of inmates they expected to release. Some counties said the cases were fluid and couldn’t be estimated.

Others simply did not respond.

All the counties cautioned that their figures were estimates and that each case was being reviewed by court officials.

What the new law ending cash bail will do

Why supporters say ending cash bail will help New York

Ending cash bail was a major part of criminal justice reforms passed by the Democratic-controlled state Legislature in March.

Cash bail will be ended for most misdemeanors and Class E felonies, which can include charges of theft, assault or aggravated harassment.

Instead, those charged would receive appearance tickets.

District attorneys and sheriffs held joint news conference across New York earlier this month to rip the law.

They said judges should still have discretion over who should be released without cash bail, saying judges know best the flight risk of those accused and whether they might commit additional crimes.

New York City estimates 880 inmates will be released in the coming weeks because they had been held on cash bail under parameters that are soon no longer legal.

About 300 inmates are set for release in Nassau, about 200 each in Monroe and Suffolk counties, roughly 180 in Westchester, and about 150 in Broome and Orange counties, according to local officials.

Courts have already started to stagger the releases, aiming to avoid a crush of cases on Jan. 1. Some counties said they started to release those charged in recent months to comply with the coming law.

“A plan is being developed to stagger the release of defendants starting in mid-December,” said Lucian Chalfen, spokesman for the state Office of Court Administration.

The Truth About CBD Oil & Joint Pain Does This Popular New Pain Relief Solution Live Up To The Scientific Hype? We Sent Our Team To Investigate Whether Or Not It Truly Eliminates Inflammation, Joint Pain, And Stiffness

LAW Continued from 1A

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2019

Advocacy groups point to the wide inequities between those who can post cash bail and those who cannot.

An NYCLU report last year examined eight upstate counties, including Monroe, Ulster, Dutchess, Orange and Westchester, from 2010 to 2014 and found some counties had inmates able to post bail more readily than others.

For example, the proportion of people who were not able to post bail the day it was set ranged from 55% of pretrial detainees in Niagara County to 92% who could not in Westchester County.

Moreover, those who remained in custody for seven days or more ranged from under 20% in Orange County to 57% in Westchester.

Other findings over the four-year period: More than 90,000 New Yorkers spent a day or longer in custody on bail; more than 45,000 were held for a week or longer.

Black pretrial detainees were twice as likely as white detainees to spend at least one night in custody on bail.

More than 35,000 New Yorkers spent at least one night in custody on a bail of $1,000 or less, and more than 21,000 on $500 or less.

Also, 60% of people held on bail had either a misdemeanor or a violation as their most serious charge, the report said.

“Wealth should not determine whether a person, accused but not convicted of a crime, will be jailed while awaiting trial,” Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie said in March when the measure passed the state Legislature.

A new breakthrough in the science of pain relief has been recently discovered.

It’s all-natural, side-effect free and promises to provide soothing pain relief for the millions of Americans who suffer from stiff, sore, and inflamed joints.

Now, while scientific studies from The Journal of Experimental Medicine, Cannabis Cannabinoid Research, and Harvard Medical School continue to demonstrate these claims in a clinical setting, I decided to sit down with the regular folks who’re using this breakthrough new pain solution.

You see, I wanted to understand the raw, unfiltered truth behind this new pain relief solution - called Super Clinical.

Because, let’s face it, although clinical trials and scientific studies are great what really matters is how it works in the real world, with real people.

Simply put, I wanted to uncover whether or not CBD Oil lived up to all the hype.

I wanted to discover if it could help you quickly eliminate the pain, inflammation, and stiffness that plagues your life. I wanted to know if it could give you back the smooth, pain-free movement you used to enjoy.

The Truth About Super Clinical So, what did I uncover after interviewing these longsuffering Americans? Well, I share some highlights from their remarkable personal stories below: “For the last few years, I’ve been plagued by aches and pains. Lately, I found it difficult just getting out of my chair or going up the stairs. I tried Super Clinical CBD Oil and all I can say is ‘WOW’!

My back pain and knee pain are gone. It’s really changed my life. I’m a true believer.”

Norm G. West Hills, CA “I had to stop all physical activity because of my pain.

I was recommended Super Clinical and after a couple of days, my body just started feeling better. Within a few weeks, I was back to taking long walks and playing golf again. The results are pretty shocking. Thanks for a great product.”

Al S. Los Angeles, CA “I’ve tried a few different CBD products I found online.

Nothing really gave me the relief for my knee problems.

After trying Super Clinical, I really felt a difference. I take 2 droppers each day and I feel terrific all day long. I forget I even have knee pain anymore!”

Elaine S. Arizona

core

CBD is a natural oil extracted from the hemp plant. Unlike other strains of the plant - it has absolutely no psychoactive effects or ‘high’. In fact, studies from The World Health Organization have reported it is 100% safe - with no risk of addiction or side-effects.

What’s more, several studies have proven CBD Oil can help to provide quick pain relief for your stiff, sore joints and inflamed muscles.

Unfortunately, for many years, CBD oil was off-limits to US citizens. However, thanks to new legislation, known as the “Farm Bill,” CBD oil is now legal. This has led to the creation of Super Clinical CBD Oil - one of the most effective pain solutions available today.

Made In America Super Clinical is made from organic hemp cultivated in the USA. By using a patented Supercritical C02 Extraction process and careful, multi-stage lab-testing, Super Clinical guarantees maximum potency, purity, and pain relief - without any psychoactive ‘high’ or sideeffects.

And, unique,

thanks to this pharmaceutical-

grade, US-made hemp oil Super Clinical is fast-acting so you will start to see and feel the results immediately.

What Is CBD Oil? CBD Oil contains the nonpsychoactive compounds found in the cannabis and hemp plant. These compounds are called cannabinoids (CBD) and they’ve been proven to help provide a variety of important medicinal benefits.

Plus, CBD Oil has also been shown to help improve your mood, boost your immune system, reduce anxiety and stress, banish fatigue, and promote deeper, longer-lasting sleep.

And, unlike other cannabinoids, the oil extracted from the hemp plant provides consumers with all the remarkable benefits above without any risk of getting high.

Festive cookies

By Erika Enigk More Content Now

D

o you like to eat special cookies during the holidays? Believe it or not, the tradition of eating cookies during the holidays has a practical history: Cookies stay good longer than pies or cakes, and people wanted to have a snack on hand to share with visitors. But have you ever stopped to think about how some of your favorite cookies became classics?

Gingerbread men

During the time of Queen Elizabeth I in England, there was a royal gingerbread baker who used to make cookies that looked like the foreign leaders who came to visit. Much later, a gingerbread man became a character in a silly story about a cookie that runs away. Another popular ginger cookie is pretty much the same but in a simple circle shape — the ginger snap.

Pizelles If your family history is

WORD FIND Pizelles Shortbread Rugelach Fruitcake Cookies

Italian, you might enjoy pizelles during holiday time. Long ago, families in Italy had family crests or other special symbols that meant something to the family. In fact, the Italians invented several holiday favorites like biscotti (which are hard, so people like to dip them in coffee) and ricotta cookies (made with ricotta cheese, the same thing that goes in lasagna).

Shortbread Shortbread is a simple buttery cookie that used to be made with dough that was leftover when bakers made biscuits. But it was so expensive to make that only very rich people could afford to make it.

Rugelach

Rugelach is a traditional Jewish pastry filled with nuts or jam. Many people make them at Hanukkah.

Viennese crescents Have you tried a cookie in the shape of a banana and covered in powdered sugar? There’s a legend that says they were invented after a baker in Austria was up early to make bread and heard Turkish soldiers coming to invade the town. The country of Turkey has a crescent moon on its flag, and it’s said that the crescent shape of the cookie is in tribute to that moon.

Linzertortes Linzertortes are filled with jelly and come from a town in Austria called Linz where

Activity: Make your own foil cookie cutter Take a sheet of sturdy aluminum foil and fold it until you have one long, thin strip. Then fold the strip into whatever shape you want: a star, a heart — use your imagination! Find a great cookie recipe and have an adult help you mix, cut and bake the cookies.

a baker named Johann Vogel invented them. In Austria, the filling is made of black currant, but in the United States, raspberry is more popular.

Fruitcake OK, OK, it’s not a cookie, but fruitcake is a very popular holiday dessert that is certainly worth mentioning. It’s sort of famous for not being very tasty. The fruit inside is extra sugary, and the cake part will stay fresh for years. You read that right — years! For people who enjoy it, there’s nothing tastier to mark holiday time.

IN BRIEF Bath Fire, BEGWS seek new winter gear The Bath Volunteer Fire Department and Bath Electric Gas and Water Systems have teamed up to collect new gloves, mittens, hats, scarves and socks for those in need in the Bath area. Collection boxes are at The Bath Volunteer Fire Department at 50 E. Morris St., by the main doors on the side toward O’Mally Hall, and at Bath Electric, Gas and Water Systems at 7 South Avenue in the Village of Bath. The collection drive runs through Dec. 20.

METH

Continued from 1A 18 West Steuben St., Bath, were each charged with third degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a class B felony. Bath Village Police Chief Chad Mullen said all three individuals charged were arraigned last Friday afternoon in the Centralized Arraignment Court and released on their own recognizance.

“We have definitely been very successful with (drug interdiction) enforcement the past few years,” Mullen said. “The problem is that they’re all getting released hours later, walking through the village, still (selling drugs.)” Mullen said all three subjects arrested Friday afternoon were released less than an hour after their arrest at 3:20 p.m. last Friday at an 18 West Steuben St. apartment. Each will reappear in Bath Village Court at a later date.

Cole was also charged Friday with seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance as he was found to be in possession of cocaine on his person, Mullen said. He currently has five other class B felonies pending for drug sale possession.

911

Continued from 11A over to another county. Everything went down and I was told that the phones were rolling over, so I tried calling 911 from my cell and it would not work.”

Allard said the Steuben County 911 system went down while county employees were working to replace batteries and it tripped the breakers.

“They had to go through the whole rebooting process,” Allard said. “It’s the second time it’s happened this year.”

The last temporary Steuben County 911 system failure was in May, 2019, officials said.

Wheeler said temporary interruptions in 911 systems happen at virtually every 911 system throughout the country.

“You hope it’s very rare, and is fixed as fast as possible, which is what we are doing,” Wheeler said. “As of now everything is functioning the way it should and we are pretty confident it will be permanently fixed pretty soon.”

Tim Marshall, director of Steuben County Office of Emergency Services, declined Friday to comment on the 911 system issue.

“I can’t confirm or deny anything at this point,” said Marshall when asked if the Steuben County 911 system has temporarily failed. “I was out of the county (Wednesday). I can’t really give you any information at this point.”

PLASTIC BOTTLES AND CANS NEVER DECOMPOSE.

STEUBEN COURIER

Students propose ways to improve Steuben Submitted BATH – Fifteen Steuben County high school students took their seats last week in the county Legislature’s chambers for the county’s biannual Youth in Government Simulated Legislative Session.

The students met to propose and vote on resolutions they drew up after spending a semester meeting with legislators and department heads to learn more about Steuben’s operations.

Resolutions presented were: • Developing a transportation network using the county transportation system (Addam Cansdale, Avoca).

• Creating a Youth Center in Bath (Alexis Loss, Bath).

• Increasing the staff in the Public Defender’s Office (Ayden Burd, Canisteo-Greenwood).

• Creation of statues and monuments in county parks using recyclable materials (Gavin Ruddy, Hammondsport).

• Converting the abandoned BathHammondsport railroad tracks into a hiking/cycling trail (Gregory Kobyakov, Corning-Painted Post).

• Informing the public what to do before a natural disaster occurs (Julia Bennett, Hammondsport).

• Increasing the safety of school crosswalks during arrival and departures (Kaitlyn Williams, Corning-

Painted Post).

• Setting up a designated driver hotline/app (Kayla Mills, Prattsburgh) • Fireproofing the Magee House to preserve historical documents and archives (Marcus Burns, Bath).

• Creating a community compost system (Megan Slater, Corning-Painted Post).

• Placing plastic-friendly recycling bins in school classrooms (Michael Beam, Jr., Hammondsport).

• Coordinating a consistent drug and alcohol prevention program for Steuben County schools (Nicholas Jubilee, Corning-Painted Post).

• “In-house” counseling to address the mental health needs of law enforcement officers (Nikhil Lahiri, CorningPainted Post).

• Anonymous mental health services for law enforcement officers (Nolan Randall, Prattsburgh).

• Engaging the assistance of Corning area legislators to request the city of Corning prioritize paving damaged sidewalks (Chloe Freeland, CorningPainted Post).

The twice-yearly high school program has been offered to high school juniors and seniors by the county for more than 30 years.

For more information on Youth in Government call (607) 664-2565.

Steuben Sheriff • Steuben County Sheriff Jim Allard reports that on Dec. 6, deputies arrested Kody R. Brown, 33, of County Route 21, Jasper. Deputies responded to a report of an injured person in a household on County Route 21. It is alleged that Brown struck and choked another member of his family or household, causing injury to that person.

HORNELL — Hundreds of people drive by the beautiful week-long display that is the St. Ann’s Academy Field of Honor each year around Veterans Day. Families and community members gather on Veterans Day for a ceremony in honor of local veterans put on by the PreK-6th grade elementary students. But for the SAA students, it doesn’t end there.

This past week, with proceeds from the Field of Honor event that took place last month, 4th and 5th graders went on a shopping trip.

They purchased kitchen items for the Bath VA as well as two gifts for each of the 30 veterans at the VA. St. Ann’s Academy will also be providing the organization with a $300 check for the veterans to use at their discretion.

“It was great!” said Liberty Stevens, St. Ann’s 5th grader.
