Frysinger Case Returns to Court:
The lawyer for former Corning Hawks athlete Jordan Frysinger was in court yesterday, describing to a judge the issues with the prosecution’s case against his client. Frysinger is accused of having sex with an intoxicated teen girl. Frysinger’s attorney said yesterday that the victim was not “physically helpless” as defined by law. Also, he said they were problems with the grand jury process that led to the indictment against his client, and, additionally, that the prosecution has withheld evidence from him. In response to the claims, the prosecution responded by saying that the jury concluded there was reasonable cause to believe Frysinger raped the teen, so the “physically helpless” issue should be addressed by a trial jury. They also said the integrity of the jury was not compromised and that it is not obligated to turn over the disputed evidence until a later date. The judge said he will review the matters. Frysinger is charged with three counts of 1st degree rape and a single count of 1st degree criminal sexual act. They are punishable by up to as many as 25 years in prison.
Village of Bath Utility Rates to Increase:
After years at the same rate, Village of Bath residents should expect their utility rates to increase soon. At last night’s meeting of the village board, the Utility Commission recommended the water and sewer rates be approved by the August billing cycle. Electric and gas rates are also expected to go up. The need to upgrade infrastructure and the fact that some of the rates haven’t increased in years are part of the reason prices are going up. That said however, rates are still as low as or lower than those of neighboring towns and villages.
Labor Negotiations at Corning Hospital Stall:
Negotiations between Corning Hospital and its nurses and other employees began in late February, but as of Friday night no agreement is in sight.

Talks are expected to resume on June 9th.
Bath Signage to Get an Overhaul?
Members of the Bath Revitalization Group were at the Village of Bath Board Meeting last night to offer help with upgrading and repairing the “Welcome to Bath” signs.

If approved by the board, funding for this project would come from the recent Gateway to the Finger Lakes 5k Run and Walk.
School Budgets Go Before Voters Today:
School Budgets across the state will go before the voters today with most local polls open from noon to 8 p.m. In Bath, the $33.2 million budget plan will hike the tax levy 2 percent, well under the cap.

Over in Hammondsport, the $12.4 million budget plan includes a 2.14 percent tax increase, under the district’s cap of 3.75. It maintains all current programs, and adds an elementary teacher. It also includes an effort to upgrade security and asks voters to approve establishing a capital reserve fund for technology upgrades. Jim Zimar is running unopposed for a five-year term on the board. In Addison the tax levy will rise 2.9 percent under the Addison Central School District’s $26.2 million budget proposal, under its cap. There will be no program cuts or staff reductions. Brian Herrington, an incumbent, is running unopposed. And in Campbell-Savona, the $21.27 million budget has a tax increase of 2 percent, well below the district’s cap. There will be no layoffs or program cuts. Total spending is up 6 percent, though most of that is for one-time expenses. Thomas Hauryski is running opposed for the board.

Residents Cry Foul Over DOT Plan’s to Close Lattabrook Bridge:
The Department of Transportation’s plans to close the Lattabrook Bridge in Horseheads is drawing the ire of not only residents, but first responders as well. A Town Hall meeting regarding the expected closure was held last night and attendees made it clear that they’re concerned about emergency response time, the safety of the detour routes, and the length of time added to the both of those. According to local reports, with the bridge open, a run from the Town and County Fire Department to the area takes roughly six minutes, but if the bridge closes, the trip could take 13 minutes going over Moss Hill Road, and 17 minutes traveling through Breesport and emergency crews say that’s unacceptable, and could be a matter of life and death. The bridge crosses Interstate 86 and is scheduled to be shut down on July 8th for 55 days so that the concrete deck can be replaced. Chemung County Executive Tom Santulli, who was in attendance, said that he plans on meeting with the DOT to talk about repositioning emergency responders for the duration of the project and have a safer plan by the next public meeting.

NTSB Proposes Lower BAC Level:
In 1982, nearly half of highway deaths were alcohol related. In 1995, that number was cut to one third. It has stayed at that point ever since. But now, the National Transportation Safety Board is hoping to reduce that number even more by encouraging the states to make some big changes. They say that if all 50 states changed the blood alcohol limit to .05, instead of .08, one thousand lives could be saved each year. They are also suggesting the installation of ignition interlocks for all drunk driving offenders. The Board announced their proposals yesterday, on the 25th anniversary of the deadliest alcohol related crash in American history. 1988, a drunk driver drove the wrong way on Highway 71 in Carrollton, Kentucky, hit a school bus and killed 24 children and three adults. 34 others were hurt. The last time the blood alcohol limit levels were reduced, from .10 to .08, it took 21 years for all states to implement the change.

Ruling to be Appealed in Painted Post Water Sales Case:
The ruling that halted the sale of village water in Painted Post is now in the process of being appealed to a higher court. According to a story in today’s Corning Leader, SWEPI LP – the Shell Oil subsidiary that was buying the water for use in Pennsylvania shale gas drilling – made the decision to file the appeal. In late March, a state Supreme Court Judge halted the water sale operation, ruling that the state’s Environmental Quality Review Act was not complied with during the project’s review. He issued an injunction halting the water withdrawals, and voided both the water sale agreement and the lease deal for the property upon which the water loading station was built. Both sides of the argument will have time to prepare before a panel of judges will hear the case.
