Old Whitesboro Seal Wrestling Story Clarified
Local historian Creaser explains the old village seal shows Judge Hugh White wrestling an Indian, a scene preserved on official documents. A 1963 facsimile for the sesquicentennial altered the impression, showing the white man choking the Indian. Creaser says the original depicts a fair contest and notes future work opportunities for Paul while addressing elm tree removal.

CSEA and New York State Near Strike Over Bargaining Deadlock
ALBANY AP With a 6 a.m. Monday strike deadline approaching the state and its civil service union representing 140000 workers remain at odds. The CSEA refused to attend a noon bargaining session, demanding meaningful negotiations and a sign from Gov Hugh Carey or the state Office of Employee Relations before talks resume. The union has rejected a 5 percent pay raise now plus a 75 percent bonus and seeks 12 percent now with options for more next year, threatening immediate disruptions in state mental institutions and prisons if a walkout occurs under the Taylor Law. The state contends its latest offer adds nine million dollars to the table and places total costs at 77.5 million this fiscal year, while denying the union’s claim of a final offer.
