Brock Purdy will miss Sunday's game for the 49ers with a shoulder injuryBLOUNTVILLE— During last week’s voting meeting, the Sullivan County Commission passed a resolution allowing early retirement for police officers and correctional officers through a bridge program. The commission also passed a resolution that opposes the establishment of an overlay district on the South Fork of the Holston River. Bridge program Police officers, firefighters and correctional officers that are between ages 55 and 62 can retire early under the bridge program if they have put in at least 25 years of service. “The bridge program is something that all the federal programs have in law enforcement and traffic,” said Mark Ireson, commissioner and sponsor of the resolution.“I’m actually retired on the Bridge program. It’s a program that helps to cover living expenses and allows you to use your retirement funding the day you retire at age 55 and it goes to 62 until you’re eligible for Social Security.” Mark Ireson Ireson said EMS and EMA officials are currently not eligible for the program. He said he consulted with Sullivan County Sheriff Jeff Cassidy and county financial staff before pursuing the resolution. “I asked the sheriff, ‘Is this something you guys are interested in?’ And he said, ‘Yes, absolutely,’” Ireson said. The program is expected to benefit 35 employees, with 29 of them retiring within six years. There are six people in the county who will not hit the 25 years of service mark and won’t be able to retire. “Of the six people, four of those were retirees from other departments or other jobs who came in to do extra work here at the sheriff’s office,” Ireson said. “There are two that will not be able to retire by age 60, and that’s gonna be an issue, but the sheriff said he he will work with them to figure something out.” Ireson said meetings are to be held with county employees and representatives from the program, so they are informed on how they may be affected. Sheriff Cassidy who spoke during the meeting, said the program will benefit a lot of his employees who are getting close to the age of retirement. “My heart is for these employees,” Cassidy said. “This job is very demanding, very stressful, away from your family a whole lot more than you need to be. This program is a life changer for those who are eligible.” Sergeant Phil White, one of the officers set to retire soon also spoke. “This program will be a big boost to me. I’ve been here for almost 29 years,” White said. “It’s a young man’s game. It’s not for me anymore, but I still do my job on a daily basis as best I can.” Ireson noted that reaction times decline around age 56, which is another reason the bridge program can make operations safer, especially in police departments. Opposition to river overlay district In another resolution, the commission expressed complete opposition to a proposed overlay district on the South Fork of the Holston River. Sponsored by Commissioner Joe Carr, the resolution voiced concerns about the potential impact on property rights, farming and the possibility of eminent domain use for zoning projects. “Many residents are deeply concerned about the prospect of a river overlay district being imposed on them, which would be a detriment to both landowners and our farmers,” the resolution stated. During public comment, multiple residents urged the commission to approve the resolution, citing flaws in a recent recreational study that could be used to justify an overlay district in the future. Melinda Morell pointed out discrepancies in survey data. “This study explains that the survey data was a critical component, yet the survey results in previous versions were wrong and only corrected after documented evidence was provided,” Morell said. Morell said the survey only had about 0.2% of Sullivan County represented and of those respondents, 9% did not live in the county. “The second survey that was provided, 55 pieces of information were sent out, but yet there’s 8,004 parcels. That’s less than 0.7% of impacted individuals,” Morell said. Morell said she and others asked the zoning and planning commission to include those statistics and numbers from the surveys in their reports to give context for future commissions. Jaquita Hickman asked the commission to consider how an overlay district could impact the property taxes of the land. “Most people on that river have private property farms,” Hickman said. “We have large farms, and what I am concerned about is the restrictions that will be given to our ancestors because I want my children and my grandchildren to be able to have our legacy so that they can have a future in Sullivan County as well.”

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Gratifying as it was for Sean McDermott to catch up with his family and get some rest during Buffalo’s bye week, the Bills coach on Wednesday found comfort returning to his weekly routine and familiar wardrobe — a gray T-shirt and sweatpants. “When I’m not wearing those, I go to my closet and I don’t know what to wear. I’m kind of like not myself,” he said before pulling up his hoodie for emphasis to reveal the gray shirt he had on underneath. “So I was telling some of the guys this morning, ‘It’s good to be back.’” Though there remain challenges ahead, . The Bills (9-2) are off to their best start since 1992. They remain in contention for the AFC’s top seed by entering their break following a (10-1). And Buffalo is in position to clinch its fifth straight AFC East title as early as Sunday. To do so, the Bills would need Miami to lose to Green Bay on Thursday night, and Buffalo to win its game over San Francisco (5-6) on Sunday night. Buffalo has won six straight since back-to-back losses at Baltimore and Houston, and scored 30 or more points in each of its past five outings. Refreshed as McDermott sounded and appeared, it didn’t take long for him to revert to his game-at-a-time script when assessing what’s on the line this weekend. “We’re mostly focused on our level of play this week against a good football team,” he said. McDermott shed little light on the status of Buffalo’s lengthy list of injured players. being activated off injured reserve, even though the starting linebacker practiced fully for the first time since tearing his left biceps during a training camp practice in mid-August. Milano has actually missed nearly 14 months since sustaining a season-ending injury to his right leg in Week 5 last season. Milano revealed little during a brief interview following practice. “I feel all right. Getting back into it with the team,” said Milano, who no longer wore a red non-contact jersey in practice. Meantime, rookie receiver Keon Coleman, who has missed two games with a right wrist injury, and starting right tackle Spencer Brown, who missed one game with an ankle injury, were limited in practice. Tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) was Buffalo’s only player not practicing. The Bills also opened the three-week window for backup rookie defensive tackle DeWayne Carter (wrist) and backup offensive lineman Tylan Grable (groin) to return. McDermott has another positive going for him revolving around the bye week. The Bills are 8-0 coming out of their break since McDermott took over as coach in 2017. “I don’t really have the, hey, this is exactly what we do formula,” McDermott said on whether he’s changed his bye week approach. “It’s more of us really just getting back to what we do, getting back to basics.” ___ AP NFL:
