She's the Republican candidate for New York 22.

That, by the way, includes the northern half of Cortland County, including the city of Cortland, towns of Cortlandville, us here in Homer, Truxton, Kyler, and Preble, and also the villages of Homer and McGraw.

Kaylee, I want to welcome you into the studio.

How are you?

Good morning, Cortland County.

I'm doing great.

Really glad to be here with you this morning.

That was Katie Bowler.

Good morning, everybody.

Welcome back to another edition of Meet Cortland County.

It's John Harrison in the hosting chair this Saturday morning.

And joining me is the president of the League of Women Voters of Cortland County, Kim Cameron.

Kim, thanks so much for coming in.

Thank you so much for having me.

So you're here to kind of talk about some resources and some things that the League of Women Voters are doing to make sure people have that information.

So, number one, thank you for having those interviews.

What to you is the biggest issue facing folks

here in Cortland County? Well, I think it really comes down to three things, John.

It really comes down to affordability, affordability, and affordability.

When you really look at the ruleness of New York 19, I know myself, I have to travel 18 miles one way just to get groceries.

And for another cancer prevention segment with the CSP program of CUGA, Cortland and Tompkins Counties.

And back in the studio with me is Courtney Maxson, senior public health educator from the Cortland County Health Department.

And where'd this year go?

I don't know.

Are there anything, especially with October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, is there any increased opportunities, any events going on to recognize or screen for breast cancer?

Absolutely.

So check your calendars and our Facebook page at Cortland County Health Department.

We will have information about breast cancer screening.

In this case, the anarchy is really just people helping each other through the use of neighborhood blue boxes without the government being involved.

There are over 50 of these blue boxes scattered throughout Tompkins County and a few dozen more in Cortland County, in neighborhoods, parks, schools, and apartments.

Theresa Fulton, the volunteer coordinator

of Mutual Aid Tompkins Blue Boxes, joins us to explain.

A man in Cortland County raised a porker of such unusual size that strangers went out of their way to see it.

One of them the other day met the old gentleman and inquired about the animal.

Well, yes, the old fellow said, I've got such a critter, mighty big'un, but I guess I'll have to charge you about a shillin' for lookin' at him.

Portions of the complex have been lost to demolition.

Statewide recognition, the 23 nominations span New York and include resources ranging from an octagonal circus house in Cortland County.

and an intact Catskills Mountain Lodge in Ulster County to a railroad-focused historic district in Clinton County and the Holcomb-Rucker Park Basketball Court in New York City.

New York State Office of Parks and Recreation and Historic Preservation Commissioner Kathy Moser said, the nominations demonstrate the many ways New Yorkers have shaped their communities including through public housing, downtowns, neighborhoods, transportation hubs, and recreational spaces.
