Warren County Bikeway Closed for Several Days

Written by Staff Report on . Posted in Community, Featured.

A section of Warren County Bikeway in Glens Falls will be closed for several days in early September for construction to repair damage caused by tree roots.

The portion of the path between Hunter Street and Dix Avenue, passing Copper’s Cave Ale Co., will be closed September 5th, 6th, and 7th, as well as September 11th, 12th, and 13th. Those planning to use the 0.15-mile section that is affected southbound should instead bypass it by using Hunter and Sagamore streets to reconnect with the trail on the south side of Dix Avenue. Northbound travelers should travel from Dix Ave to Sagamore, and then to Hunter.

Schumer Visits Lake George Battlefield Park, Reaffirms Support for Reinterment of “Original Patriots”

Written by Staff Report on . Posted in Community, Featured.

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer paid a visit on Monday, August 28th to Lake George Battlefield Park, and pledged his continued support of efforts by community officials to rebury on Park grounds the remains of more than 40 Continental soldiers discovered at Lake George four years ago.

The Senator reviewed the proposed reinterment site with Dan Barusch – Director of Planning for the Town of Lake George, and Chair of the local committee that is spearheading the effort for a respectful reburial of the soldiers’ remains. They were joined by committee members Marisa Muratori of the Lake George Town Board, and John DiNuzzo, President of the Lake George Battlefield Park Alliance.

“As we approach the 250th anniversary of the birth of our nation, it is important that we honor our country’s original patriots. That’s why I have called on the U.S. Army to help facilitate the reinterment of the remains found of Revolutionary War soldiers in the village of Lake George back in 2019,” said Senator Schumer. “In my recent visit to Lake George Battlefield Park, I was impressed by the devotion of local leaders to preserving and promoting the significance that this region has had on the birth of America, and of course, the spectacular beauty of the grounds. I am proud to support the Lake George Battlefield Park Alliance and local officials’ efforts to honor these Continental Army soldiers with the burial they deserve, and I am hopeful that the Army will endorse this effort as well.”

The proposal for the reinterment of the soldiers’ remains in the Battlefield Park, near where four unknown soldiers from the French & Indian War are buried, requires the approval of the U.S Army and the State of New York. Lake George Battlefield Park was the site in 1776 of the Continental Army’s largest field hospital that treated those affected by a smallpox epidemic.

“There is tremendous local support to bring these soldiers ‘home’ to the Battlefield Park – where they drew their last breaths – for their final resting place,” stated Dan Barusch. “We are actively in the process of getting all the necessary approvals. Senator Schumer’s endorsement of the reinterment proposal and his recommendations for its design are of great value to us.”

Senator Schumer also viewed displays at the Battlefield Park Visitor Center that tell the story of the site’s key role during both the French & Indian War and the American Revolution: “Senator Schumer expressed his great love of New York’s history, connecting Alexander Hamilton and his father-in-law, Philip Schuyler, to the hospital that was on these grounds,” John DiNuzzo remarked. “The Senator enjoyed ‘talking history’ with us. His knowledge of the Revolutionary era was very evident!”

It’s Back to School Time: Injuries and Employment Problems

Written by Giovanna D'Orazio, D'Orazio Peterson LLP on . Posted in Business, Community, Education, Featured, News, Opinion.

We hope that everyone has a stress-free transition back into the school year. But, sometimes, things go wrong at school, and this article will explore when liability can arise.

First up, personal injuries.

A school is a property like any other, which means that if you are hurt by dangerous conditions like disrepairs and poorly maintained facilities, you can sue for negligence. Schools can also be sued for failing to take remedial action with respect to bullying, and in the context of other instances of violence like fights between students or altercations with personnel.

An item to keep in mind if you are injured at a school is that most schools in New York enjoy a layer of protection provided by the Education Law’s notice of claim requirement. This means that, as a prerequisite to filing a lawsuit, you have to serve a notice of claim on the appropriate individual(s) within three months of the date of your accident. This applies to students as well as to other visitors to the property.

What if you are an employee of the school? Typically, employees in New York cannot sue their employers for negligence because of the Workers’ Compensation law. That means if you slip on a spill in the cafeteria that should have been cleaned up sooner, your remedy is in Workers’ Comp and not in a lawsuit. Employees who are injured at work can have recourse, however, if there is a third party responsible. So, if a contractor is doing work at the school and you are injured because of its negligence, you can have what’s called a third party claim against the contractor and still receive Workers’ Compensation. However, your recovery in a personal injury lawsuit will likely be reduced by what you have already received, i.e., the Workers’ Comp lien.

Next up, employment issues.

Public schools are subject to the same state and federal anti-discrimination laws as any other employer, as well as the federal Family and Medical Leave Act. This means that employees cannot be targeted because of their protected status (for example, sex, race, a disability, or age) or be retaliated against for making a complaint of discrimination or harassment based on their protected status. When it comes to state law claims, that notice of claim requirement still applies, so it’s important to keep an eye on applicable deadlines. Federal employment claims are not affected by the notice of claim requirement but may require filing a charge at the EEOC before moving forward with a lawsuit.

In public schools, employees also enjoy some, albeit limited, First Amendment protection when they speak on matters of public concern.

Often teachers and other school employees have protection through their union Collective Bargaining Agreement or under the Civil Service Law or Education Law, that may offer some job protection beyond what is available to many private employees. So, it is important for someone dealing with an employment related issue to be sure they understand all of their rights and options as they navigate a difficult work situation.

We certainly hope that the school year goes off without a hitch, but if not, be sure to keep in mind that schools enjoy some heightened protections in New York so it’s important to explore your options sooner rather than later.

Local Residents Warned of Election Staff Impostors

Written by Staff Report on . Posted in Community, Featured, Local Leads.

Incidents of home visits from apparent impersonators reported around NY State…

Boards of Elections staff in Washington and Warren counties are warning residents about individuals impersonating election officials. These individuals confront voters and make accusations that they are illegally registered to vote.

Incidents have been reported this week in a number of locations around New York State, including Warren and Washington counties, in which individuals visited the homes of voters with paperwork to incorrectly claim they were illegally registered to vote.

In a local case, a woman – who had recently moved to Warren County was visited Sunday, August 27th, 2023 – was approached by individuals falsely claiming to be from Washington County Board of Elections, who told her she had illegally registered to vote in Warren County… In fact, her registration was legal, according to the Warren County Board of Elections.

The two women who visited the Warren County home carried identification cards. They presented the resident with a blank NY State Election Complaint Form, leaving the Warren County resident shaken.

Sheriff’s offices in Warren and Washington counties have been notified.

Residents should be aware that Board of Elections staff do not visit homes or voters in person.  All contact between Boards of Elections staff and voters is done in person at official Board of Elections offices, or via telephone, email, or the U.S. Postal Service.

Anyone who is visited by someone questioning their voter registration should look at any identification they offer, but not interact any further with the visitor… It would be very helpful to have descriptions and license plate numbers of the people involved if possible before contacting local law enforcement. Board of Elections staff should also be notified.

In Warren County, Board of Elections staff can be reached at (518) 761-6458.

In Washington County, Board of Elections staff can be reached at (518) 746-2180.
