Today's riddle: What do you call a one-legged Big Foot? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Suspect Sought Following Early Sunday Morning Stabbing in Cortland; Victim Remains in Critical Condition (wxhc.com) — Cortland Police are searching for 38-year-old Henry Clay Monroe after a stabbing on Main Street left a victim critically injured and airlifted from Guthrie Cortland Medical Center to Syracuse. Investigators say the attack was targeted, not random, but they're asking anyone with information on Monroe's whereabouts to contact Detective Sergeant Kyle Green as multiple local agencies assist the case.
2. SUNY Cortland Announces Two Faculty Members Earn Fellowship Through SUNY Academic Affairs Fellows Program (wxhc.com) — Two SUNY Cortland professors have been awarded competitive SUNY Academic Affairs fellowships, bringing fresh work on ethical artificial intelligence and civil discourse directly into Cortland classrooms. Their projects will shape new coursework, faculty training, and campus-wide efforts like the Advancing Campus Pluralism initiative, potentially influencing how local students learn, debate, and use emerging technologies.
3. Unvaccinated Lewis County Resident Confirmed with Measles as New York Cases Outside NYC Reach at Least 62 (medicaldaily.com) — Measles cases outside New York City have climbed to at least 62, and Cortland County is part of the concern, with only about 83% of 2-year-olds having at least one MMR dose. Health experts warn that Cortland's below-95% vaccination rate leaves room for outbreaks and urge families to confirm shots, act quickly after any exposure, and call ahead before seeking care.
4. Obituary of George B. Lynch (wxhc.com) — A longtime Virgil resident who was born in Cortland has passed away at 65 after a brief illness, leaving a large local family. He'll be remembered for his years of hard work in road construction, his love of racing, and his dedication to his farm, with no public services planned per his wishes.
