BUFFALO – U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy, Jr. announced today that Nolan Donald, 21, of Lyndonville, who was convicted of being an unlawful drug user in possession of firearms and ammunition, and possessing with intent to distribute, and distributing marijuana, was sentenced to serve three years home confinement by U.S. District Judge Richard J. Arcara.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Seth T. Molisani, who handled the case, stated that between February 2018 and April 18, 2018, the defendant was addicted to, or was an unlawful user of, marijuana.

Press Release, Nate McMurray for Congress

U.S. Senator Charles Schumer enthusiastically renewed his support for Nate McMurray in the November 3rd election for Congress in NY-27.

“I am eager to see Nate McMurray win this election so we can get to work on a shared agenda to expand access to affordable healthcare, strengthen the middle class, protect union rights, and preserve our farms,” Schumer said. “Nate is a fighter who will take on the damaging and dangerous Trump agenda and always champion the interests of the people of Western New York.”

McMurray added: “I am proud to have Senator Schumer’s endorsement going into the most important election of our lifetimes. He and I are committed to defeating the Trump agenda and its supporters, like Chris Jacobs, in November. Not only has Chris Jacobs aligned himself with a failed President, but he has condemned Black Lives Matter, voted against a pay raise for our armed forces, and voted to kill the Affordable Care Act at the height of a pandemic that has killed 150,000 Americans.

“Senator Schumer and I share many core values, like a Washington that delivers for working-class Americans, expanding healthcare, and protecting Social Security. I’m eager to get to work with him on behalf of NY-27 and all of Western New York.”

Cuomo says cash-strapped states don’t have funds

With Congress at an apparent impasse on renewing a weekly unemployment bonus during the Covid-19 pandemic, President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to give unemployed Americans an extra $400 a week.

That is down from the $600 they were receiving as an unemployment bonus that expired on July 31. Trump’s order would have the federal government paying $300 a week and the states contributing $100.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Trump’s order for the states to pay towards the program won’t work because the states are facing steep revenue losses and mounting costs to fight Covid-19.

“It’s just an impossibility,” Cuomo told reporters on Sunday.

The Trump order would cost the state $4 billion, Cuomo said. He said the Trump order is “laughable” in light of the fiscal distress with state budgets.

Congressman Chris Jacobs, NY-27, released a statement praising the president for pushing to provide relief to Americans.

“The negotiation process for a new stimulus package has been bogged down with partisan politics and far-left democratic wish lists that do not benefit the American people,” Jacobs said. “I applaud President Trump’s decisive action to make the health and financial well-being of Americans a priority and sign executive orders that will boost our economy, protect unemployed Americans, and aid Americans suffering from the effects of COVID-19. Conquering this enemy and rebuilding our economy is an effort we need to be united on, and the President is setting the example of what it means to put all Americans first.” – Congressman Chris Jacobs said.

Jacobs said Trump’s executive orders also protect against evictions for renters, extend student loan relief, and provide a payroll tax holiday through the end of the year.

Press Release, Oak Orchard Health

BROCKPORT – National Health Center Week (August 9 – 15) is an annual celebration with the goal of raising awareness about the mission and accomplishments of America’s health centers over the past five decades. This year is extra special for Oak Orchard Health as they recognize this special week for the first time with their three new locations that were formerly part of Pembroke Family Medicine.

The mission of Community Health Centers remains vital today because access to basic care remains a challenge in parts of the United States including our community. Many people live in remote and underserved communities where there is a shortage of providers and, in many cases, the nearest doctor or hospital can be as far as a 50-mile drive – if transportation is available.

While COVID-19 continues to impair social and medical inequities across the country, Community Health Centers have stretched themselves to reconfigure services for those in need. As unemployment rates rise and more people lose their employee-sponsored health insurance, Community Health Centers have remained open to provide care for all, regardless of insurance status.

“Community Health Centers are here to support the community. Our presence is even more important as people face high unemployment and employer-based healthcare decreases. Oak Orchard Health is able to serve all who need medical, dental, vision, or behavioral health services,” said Mary Ann Pettibon, CEO, Oak Orchard Health

This year’s mission for Health Center Week is to thank our providers and staff along with our patients. Given we’re practicing social distancing, we’ll be using social media to communicate with patients on staying healthy during this time.

Oak Orchard Health

Originally founded in 1966, Oak Orchard has grown from a migrant health project into an integrated health center with multiple locations providing health care services for everyone located in the communities we serve. Currently serving over 30,000 patients at nine locations, Oak Orchard Health is a recognized patient-centered medical home and 501(c) nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) located in the towns of Albion, Alexander, Batavia, Brockport, Corfu, Lyndonville, Hornell and Warsaw.

KENDALL – Nicholas Wolf completed his Eagle Scout project last month, and added a sign with pillars to the Kendall Community Park. Nicholas also put in a garden area by the sign.

This is the fifth Eagle Scout project at the park. Last year Ryan Barrett, Brian Shaw, Noah Rath and Jayden Pieniaszek worked together and each took a phase of a war memorial at the park, which is on Kendall Road (Route 237) across from the Kendall Elementary School.

Nicholas Wolf also led a team of Scouts in putting in a 100-foot-long sidewalk that is 5 feet wide. Nicholas is a member of Troop 94 in Kendall.

State has fewest people in ICU from Covid-19 since March 16

Gov. Andrew Cuomo today said the state has lowest percentage of people testing positive for Covid-19 since the pandemic gripped the state in March.

New York on Saturday reported 515 new cases of Covid-19 out of 65,812 tests, a 0.78 percent positive rate.

The state also had 131 people in intensive care due to Covid-19, which is the lowest since March 16, the governor said.

“Our daily numbers remain low and steady, despite increasing infection rates across the country, and even in our region – and we had the lowest one-day positive rate since we started. That’s an incredible achievement, all thanks to the hard work of New Yorkers,” Cuomo said. “New York’s progress shows that a data-driven, phased reopening works. We have followed the data since day one, and now we are an example for the rest of the country to follow. But we must not become complacent: Everyone should continue to wear their masks and socially distance.”

BARRE — The Barre community showed Elizabeth “Beth” Nesbitt lots of love on Saturday, during a celebration for her 100th birthday.

Many people stopped by her house to honk in support of her reaching the milestone birthday (which is actually Aug. 7). It was a steady parade of people throughout the day.

State Assemblyman Steve Hawley and Barre Town Supervisor Sean Pogue present citations and proclamations to Nesbitt in honor of birthday and her many years of community service.

Nesbitt has lived in Barre for 70 years. She married Bob Nesbitt, a three-time Navy Cross recipient from World War II. They had eight children.

During WWII, Nesbitt worked at an ammunitions plant, sighting scopes for aircraft and volunteered with the Red Cross. She was a teacher at Head Start for 35 years, from 1965 until her retirement in 2010 at age 90.

She was active in many ways serving the community. She was an EMT until age 84 and served on the COVA board of directors. She also was on the board at for the visitors center at the Albion Correctional Facility, where she volunteered to teach inmates how to knit.

She also was on the Habitat for Humanity board of directors.

“Elizabeth accomplished all of this while raising her children, returning to college and being an involved parishioner of the Barre Presbyterian Church, serving in numerous capacities,” State Assemblyman Steve Hawley said in presenting her with a citation on Saturday.

Barre Town Supervisor Sean Pogue also presented Nesbitt with a proclamation in honor of her 100th birthday and decades of good works in the community.

Earlier this year Barre also threw a 100th birthday party for Don Ross on May 21.

This group from Head Start joined the celebration. Nesbitt was a Head Start teacher for 35 years.

COVA also stopped by to thank Nesbitt for her service. She was an EMT and served on the COVA board of directors.

Many community members stopped by to congratulate Nesbitt, including this group on horseback. The Nesbitt Farm also turned 100 years old this spring.

MEDINA – Sunny weather and lots of people made for a very successful Sidewalk Sale in Medina on Saturday.

A handful of merchants set up displays outside, offering discounts of up to 75 percent off.

Jamie Wagner at Creekside Florist said the traffic had been steady all day. They offered merchandise outside for 50 percent off, but said they had a lot of sales inside, too. Two customers, Viktor Kachaluba and Jimmy Bieliski of Medina said they came downtown to check everything out.

At the Downtown Browsery, vendor Lucy Sacket said they were much busier than usual.

“A lot of people have been walking up and down the street,” she said. “We are pleased with the amount of traffic. There have been a lot of families out shopping.”

At the English Rose Tea Shoppe, they had items for sale on the sidewalk for 75 percent off.  Becky Robinson, daughter of shop owner Cindy Robinson, said a lot of people had been in for the sale.

One customer was Barbara Hoffman of Lewiston, who said she has been to Medina before and loved the village. She came back Saturday to see what was going on.

After months of being shut in due to the pandemic, Medina merchants decided it was time to do something. Customers were all seen wearing masks as they browsed through the stores and checked out the merchandise displayed on the sidewalk.

Starfish Intuition

Several years back, my husband and I were vacationing in Aruba. With our snorkeling gear in hand, we headed into the clear blue waters and began to search for creatures on the shallow floor of the ocean.

What a treat when we spotted two large starfish. In my ignorance, I picked it up and lifted it out of the water so my husband could snap a photo of me with it. I later learned that starfish need the water to breathe. The air can be toxic, and they can die if you do this – oh no!

During my photo op, I could see the little suction cups on the bottom of its limbs moving. At that moment, I dropped the starfish back in the water, because my intuition was telling me that the starfish was in distress. Just like humans need to listen to their intuition, the starfish also is known for its intuitive ways.

There are more than 1,500 species of starfish. Most have five limbs, but some have up to 15. Their average lifespan is 35 years. Also known as sea stars, starfish are said to represent guidance, vigilance, inspiration, brilliance and intuition.

I found it a bit concerning when I came across another starfish that was missing a limb. However, I learned that starfish intuitively shed their limbs as a defense mechanism and then regenerate new ones. That is why the starfish spirit animal is known for its ability to heal itself over time. It has the superpower to quickly shed the toxic or threatening aspect of its life and replace it with something blissful.

Theory has it that the discerning nature of the starfish views situations in terms of good or bad. There is no gray area. I tend to be like that myself. I find that if I am faced with a choice of decision or opinion, I form my conclusions based on what my intuition tells me is right or wrong.

Many people’s decisions factor in different variables or circumstances that may influence a situation, the “gray area.” That could prove very prudent, because not all situations have the same cause. If you can do that and still come to a clear answer, then that is a well-rounded choice.

For me, it muddies my brain, so I have to just go with right or wrong, just like the starfish.

They say that if you dream of starfish, your mind is trying to rid itself of a distressing situation and is about to unearth a resolution. How fascinating! Can you imagine if, every time we encounter a sticky situation, we could simply shed it from our universe? It is called self-sustaining, or the ability to keep ourselves healthy without assistance from anyone.

We all have that power within us to do what is right for us. It is OK to self-sustain because if we are not happy, we can not make others happy. When something is weighing on our minds, let’s be like starfish and shed the toxic or threatening element, and regenerate a new “limb,” one full of love, renewal, hope and possibilities.

MEDINA – Medina Lions Community Yard Sale and Chicken Barbecue have been a tradition in Medina for several years, but because of the pandemic they were unable to have it this year. So when the village announced a Downtown Sidewalk Sale on Saturday, the Lions decided to take advantage of the situation and have a chicken barbecue.

They arranged with the Senior Center to use their building to set up, and Chiavetta’s set up their grills across the tracks.

Jim Punch, a member of Medina Lions, puts a customer’s chicken barbecue order in the back seat of the car. The Lions set up in the Senior Center and customers drove in on one side, had their order delivered to their car and then drove out the other side.

The dinner was a resounding success.

The Lions had originally planned to order 450 halves of chicken, but when they sold 400 presale, they decided they better up their number. They ended up having 620 halves cooked and they sold all but 30.

Tim Fuller and Mike Hoch, who work for Chiavetta’s in Brant, arrived at 6:15 to get ready to cook. They said in spite of the pandemic, they have  been busier than usual. Because a chicken barbecue lends itself very well for takeouts or drive-thru, everyone wants to have a chicken barbecue. Hoch said they are even getting calls for weddings and are so busy they are booked solid.

Let’s go on an adventure together … along Route 20 to Cooperstown!

Making travel plans this year has been challenging, to say the least.

Yes, we’re free to go wherever we want, but … there is so much to consider that we’ve never really had to consider before. Am I comfortable getting on a packed airplane? Will I have to self-quarantine when I return? Does my destination have a quarantine requirement? What, if anything, will be open and available to enjoy when I get there?

Is it all worth it?

Maybe it’ll be OK, maybe it won’t, but everyone has to think about their own comfort level when deciding where to go and whether or not to go. It is definitely a very personal decision, and no one else’s opinion really matters.

Seneca Falls, NY – First convention for women’s rights was held on this corner in 1848.

So, I thought I’d write about some local adventures that I really loved. There is so much to enjoy right here in our own state, where we can get into our own vehicles and not worry about all the quarantine issues. We have the Adirondacks, the Catskills, the Finger Lakes, the North Country, and so much more.

I’m always amazed at the beauty and versatility we have right here that we can devote a few days or a week to exploring.

In this article, I want to take you to Cooperstown, N.Y. and the scenic drive along historic Route 20 to get there.

Don’t you dare think, “not interested in baseball, so not interested in Cooperstown!” Yes, it’s the home of the National Baseball Hall of Fame, but there are lots more reasons to take the time to visit Cooperstown and everything between here and there. Let’s get started.

The National Baseball Hall of Fame has been on my bucket list for years. In September of 2013, I finally decided to take an overnight trip to see it. The plan was to get an early start, drive down via Route 20 with some quick photo stops along the way, arrive in Cooperstown around noon to explore and see the Hall Of Fame, do a bit more exploring the next morning, and head back home that afternoon.

Well … I love having the flexibility to change plans on the fly! My estimated 5-6 hour drive (with photo stops) turned into 10 hours because of all the amazing things I took the time to stop and see along the way.

I had a reservation at a lovely bed and breakfast in downtown Cooperstown that was happy to accommodate me for a second night so I could do everything I wanted to do and not be rushed. So, my overnighter turned into a two-night, three-day adventure that I’ll never forget.

Taking the scenic route is the best way to go. The Thruway would have gotten me there quicker, but I would have missed so much along the way. I was on the road by 5 a.m. and stopped for breakfast in Canandaigua at about 7 a.m.

My first photo stop was the Montezuma Winery, because the sign caught my eye. Much of Route 20 runs right through the Finger Lakes region, and there are many spots where it skirts along the top edge of most of the Finger Lakes, making for some awesome views and photo opportunities.

Chittenango Falls

I spent quite a while – a couple hours – in Seneca Falls. The birthplace of women’s rights is a wonderful little town with a strong history about the very first Women’s Rights Convention that took place long before the suffragette movement got into full swing. The National Women’s Rights Hall of Fame was not open the day I was there, but I did find the Women’s Rights National Historic Park. This is a nice park and visitor’s center with tons of information and displays, including a grouping of statues of the pioneers of women’s rights that you can stand among for a photo op.

I took a park ranger-guided tour and learned all about the first convention held on July 19 and 20, 1848; and I went inside the Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, which became known as the congregation interested in free speech for all groups.

Next, I stopped in Skaneateles and spent quite a bit of time window shopping and sitting in a little park beside Skaneateles Lake, enjoying the beautiful day and views. Definitely an upscale small town that offered lots of shopping and relaxing options.

I hear they do Dickens Christmas weekends that are pretty amazing – I hope to do that sometime.

After driving a while, I took a short rest stop at Cazenovia Lake. There was a small parking lot right on the shore of the lake with only a row of boulders keeping me from driving right into the lake!

Shortly after getting back on the road, I saw signs for Chittenango Falls. I do love a good waterfall, so I decided to take a side trip on Route 13N – a steep, long, narrow winding road to the parking area for the park, where I then had to take a small hike to get to the falls.

Wow – definitely worth the time and effort! It was beautiful! A few years later, I visited the falls again, but I got there from the village of Chittenango, which was a much easier way to find it and is a great adventure story for another time.

Just about 10 hours and lots of memories later, I arrived in Cooperstown in time to check into my bed & breakfast and walk downtown for some dinner. There are several sweet looking B&Bs in Cooperstown.

The National Baseball Hall of Fame – downtown Cooperstown, NY

I chose Main Street Bed & Breakfast on – you guessed it – Main Street. It was the perfect choice for me – a lovely and very comfortable Victorian home with friendly hosts who made me feel like family. It was within walking distance of most of the things I had considered doing during my stay.

I loved Cooperstown. It is an awesome small town on Otsego Lake with all the small town charm and appeal. Of course, it takes full advantage of the Baseball Hall of Fame with lots of baseball-themed shops, restaurants and attractions, but there is so much to love for anyone regardless of their interest in baseball.

After I explored a little and had some dinner, I went to the Baseball Hall of Fame. It was getting late, so I wasn’t sure how much I could see, but I discovered that the purchase of a ticket that late in the day also included access the next day. I spent about an hour and a half that first evening and barely made it through the first of three floors.

The next morning, I returned and spent another three hours going through the second and third floors, and revisiting parts of the first floor. It was really amazing!

The hall of plaques of those inducted in the Hall of Fame was quite an experience. There were several people wandering through, looking at the plaques, but no one spoke above a whisper – it was a respectful and emotional room. I thoroughly enjoyed all the time I spent there. If you’re going to include this in your trip, you should definitely allow at least 3 or 4 hours to see it all.

Other places I enjoyed visiting while in Cooperstown included Doubleday Field – the birthplace of baseball, Heroes of Baseball Wax Museum, Otsego Lake – I was happy to see a lighthouse, and just spending time wandering around downtown. It was September, so the leaves were turning; and the town is so quaint, it just made for such a lovely time.

Fenimore Art Museum, Cooperstown, NY

There are two other main attractions in Cooperstown you should consider including on your visit. They are about a mile outside downtown, so you need to drive there, and they are very close to each other.

The first is the Fenimore Art Museum – an elegant folk art museum sitting on the bank of Otsego Lake. They have a lot of wonderful Native American art exhibits and a café, where I had lunch sitting out on the terrace overlooking the lake and gardens. I think I spent about an hour, plus time for lunch at this museum. (Probably should have spent more time.)

The other attraction is the Farmer’s Museum – a recreation of an 1800s village and working farm. I enjoyed that so much, and I even got to ride the beautiful Empire State Carousel – a hand-crafted carousel that highlights New York State with names of many of the small towns, points of interest, and interesting facts. The animals are not your typical carousel animals – they are all the different animals that can be found in New York State. Plan on at least a couple hours or more to do this museum thoroughly.

Looking for a restaurant recommendation in Cooperstown? I especially enjoyed the Pit Under the Tunnicliff. The Colonial brick building is home to the Tunnicliff Hotel, and The Pit is accessed by the exterior stairs to the basement and is a very eclectic pub with delicious food!

Looking for a two or three-day get away? Consider Cooperstown – take the scenic route – you won’t regret it!
