Corning native, combat vet Jason Shaddock shares Veterans Day lessons

Hundreds came to honor servicemen and women Wednesday, Nov. 11 at Corning's annual Veterans Day ceremony at the Veterans Memorial Park, off Park Avenue. Brian Francis, commander of the Corning American Legion and a retired U.S. Army veteran with 26 years of service, emphasized the role of military service in safeguarding fundamental freedoms. "It is a soldier, not a poet who has given up freedom of speech," Francis said. "It is a soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us freedom to demonstrate. It is a soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag." Francis said these liberties were earned through the sacrifices and service of those who defended the nation. Jason Shaddock, Deputy Commissioner for New York State Department of Veterans Service and combat veteran of the United State Marine Corps and the United States Army, thanked the Corning American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4218 for co-sponsoring the Veterans Day event. "As a native of Corning, is especially meaningful to be here today," Shaddock said while speaking at the Veterans Memorial Park event. "I know the character of the people of the Southern Tier. I

Federal lawsuit accuses Owego McDonald’s of safety failures, retaliation

Former employees of a McDonald's franchise in the Village of Owego have filed a federal class action lawsuit alleging safety failures, retaliation and other violations. A lawsuit filed on Nov. 9 alleges that the franchisee company that owns the McDonald’s at 29 Hickories Park Road in Owego kept employees working through carbon dioxide leaks and fire-safety failures, failed to pay overtime and wages for all hours worked, retaliated against employees who raised safety and wage concerns and refused to accommodate a manager’s disabilities, allegedly forcing her out of her job. The initial complaint names Mac-Clark Restaurants, Inc., a McDonald's franchisee company that owns more than a dozen McDonald's restaurants across New York including the Owego location that employed the three former employees who are suing. It also names two of the company's managers — a Human Resources Manager and a Supervisor.

Freeville Community Council looks to build on village spirit

For Hugh McElyea, Freeville is a place full of hope at a time of national breakage. “Freeville, to me — especially with the crisis that we're having in our country on the collective … the larger scale — it feels like Freeville is like a laboratory because it's under 500 households,” he said. “And to me, that's where we begin to build what has been lost in the broader, larger community.”
