Today's Journal is largely quiet about Dryden, though the Groton Town Talk notes food pantries from 1:30pm to 2:30pm on October 8th and 22nd at the McLean Community Church. There will also be a steak dinner fund-raiser at the McLean Community Church on the 8th from 5:00pm to sold out, and a community bazaar from 9:00am to 2:00pm on the 15th at the McLean Fire Hall.
The Journal also has lots of Tompkins County news that affects Dryden:
On the opinion page, incumbent District Attorney George Dentes argues that traditional probation is the only Alternative to Incarceration he sees as cost effective, while challenger Gwen Wilkinson supports Drug Court and other ATI programs, noting that among other things, drug courts have been repeatedly found to be cost-effective, and that they have bipartisan support, all the way to the White House.
The Journal's editorial congratulates TCAT and its unions for hammering out a contract, but warns of a lot of work yet to come.
While not yet public, the environmental review for the county's proposed emergency communications network is complete.
The County Legislature will also be voting on establishing a fund for preserving open space tonight.
