Linda K. Chrisman
OSWEGO – February 28, 2024, Linda K. Chrisman, 62, of Oswego, NY, passed away on Tuesday, February 27, 2024, surrounded by her family. She fought a courageous battle against cancer for two years. Linda enjoyed long hikes along the shore of Lake Ontario with her soulmate of 20 years and wife of 5 years, Sue. Anyone who knew Linda had seen part of her treasures that were collected along those shores. Pieces of broken lake glass, marbles, pottery from the days of old, miniature toy soldiers, all broken yet beautiful in her eyes. Linda was a very good listener. People seemed to gravitate towards her. Sue saw this when she met her while she worked the switchboard at Mental Health in 2004. Clients and staff alike would seek her out just to have a few minutes with someone who genuinely cared. Through the years with the Ladies Home of Oswego and finally the Gardens, this never changed. She was indeed respected and very much loved. Linda was predeceased by both parents, and her brother, Harlow.

Freedom for All Americans
Americans endorse freedom for all. That freedom includes the right for all people to embrace our individual identities, which best express who we are. Brandon Williams, representative for NY-22, doesn’t believe in that right. His participation in a hate-filled extremist event at the Museum of the Bible in Washington DC proved it. The purpose of the event was to bring together GOP lawmakers and far-right extremist pastors to brainstorm measures against LGBTQ freedoms, abortion, and those who don’t subscribe to their rigid ideology. This is not unexpected from fear-driven, conservative Republicans. Religious zealots sincerely believe their fundamental interpretation of the Bible is absolute truth, narrow-mindedly repudiating all others. Their image of Jesus as a “white” man is a physical impossibility for a Middle Easterner. They willfully support damnation of people rather than acceptance. This is emphatically in stark contradiction to the teachings of the Christ.
