Happy birthday to us! It was 11 years ago today that the switch was flipped and "ElmiraTelegram.com" was born. It's hard to believe it's been that long. Well, most days. Some of you have been here since Day 1. Any fond memories or laughs that stand out over the years?

More than likely pissed off whoever is above him and that's their little dig back at him. However now that technically they terminated his position he could go for unemployment if he so wished they may fight it but they had no reason to terminate him so it would just hold up the process that's the down side of NYS being a hire/fire at will state from an employer standpoint. Now this is wrong if they have an employee manual and you have a copy look through it and see if it mentions anything about losing gym privileges. (congratulations on the new job anyways)

report to the labor board for sure, sounds like a cut/dry retaliation perhaps even discrimination aside from that, you better have my stuff clean and ready when i call for it @Matthew

Capriotti Properties in conjunction with the City of Elmira and Elmira Downtown Development has announced the addition of “Tossed And More” to their growing list of new businesses choosing to locate in Elmira’s Central Business District. According to Capriotti Properties, “Tossed,” with its loyal customer following will continue to offer its customizable and delicious salads along with a variety of wraps, buddha bowls, gyros and more. “We are excited to add our successful business model for providing unique high quality locally sourced food offerings at reasonable prices to the list of businesses choosing to make Elmira’s central business district home,” said Dan Oropallo, owner of "Tossed”. “The expanding downtown residential market coupled with planned growth and infrastructure improvements at Clemens Square will no doubt enhance this area as a destination for food and entertainment. The choice to relocate our business here was the right one,” concluded Mr. Oropallo. “While I had held out on filling this store front for my vision of an Italian deli the opportunity to work with Dan and his family and their well-respected food offerings that focus on quality products was impossible to pass up,” said Jim Capriotti, President of Capriotti Properties. “We could not be happier to welcome “Tossed” to our ever-expanding commercial portfolio and will of course pursue the establishment of the deli at another Capriotti location." “The announcement of the relocation of “Tossed” to our downtown is welcomed news for the Elmira business community and I know City Council joins me in our ongoing commitment to creating and sustaining a vibrant and healthy central business district,” said Dan Mandell, Mayor of the City of Elmira. “We’re thrilled to welcome “Tossed” to our Business Improvement District, and we couldn’t be more excited about what this means for our downtown,” said Kylene Kiah, Executive Director of Downtown Development. “This new addition is sure to bring a fresh, vibrant energy. It is the perfect fit for our community, helping to enhance the overall atmosphere and strengthen the growing appeal of our downtown. “Tossed” built a strong reputation and demonstrated incredible success in Corning, and we’re ecstatic that they’ve chosen Elmira as their next chapter to grow."

Two things can be true at once. It’s possible that “data” in the past few years was skewed toward a confirmation bias that eggagerated potential risks (suicide, etc) of not indulging gender dysphoria while ignoring data that points to potential risks, which can result in “regret” of irreverible treatment. And it’s also just as possible that the current administration’s “data” will be skewed toward confirmation bias that there is irreparable danger in rushing permanent treatment for gender dysphoria. Given the permanency of treatment of many surgical and hormonal treatments....the prudent path is probably to lean toward “waiting” and exploring the least invasive options (particularly for minors).

Pretty sure I've been around since day 1. Even before that actually. 😁 Quite an interesting transition over those 11 years for sure. From the physical paper Broader View Weekly to where we are now. I have had the pleasure of meeting so many folks from here in person and practically feel like part of the family now. It's been a good trip really

Completely understand but I would do it just to waste their time with the paperwork anything really to jam them up at this point.

I'd say it's perfectly reasonable to do more research on this given how fast things changed with treating gender dysphoria. It seems like things went from slow and methodical to make sure to handing out hormones like candy overnight. I saw that happen over the span of a couple years and in actual patients. However when I heard this on the radio, from the very beginning it's obvious the study will be skewed to achieve desired results, which doesn't seem very scientific to me. But then this administration, hell, society, doesn't seem too concerned with science anymore.

I’m positive there were more fun / funny discussions throughout those 11 years but the fog of time doesn’t allow for any specific conversations from this end lol 😂 HAPPY 11th trip around the Sun !!

When I saw this teaser a few months ago my head nearly exploded. I cannot wait to see this!
