He was “a perfect gentleman,” Paradis said.“Kane will be making a public statement at beginning of the commissioners’ meeting,” on Tuesday [Feb. 2], said Paradis.&nbsp;“I&nbsp;view this as very positive and I want to thank the sheriff, Elsie Flemings and Chairman Clark” for the work in re-establishing recovery coaching.Recovery coaches, according to Flemings, provide an opportunity for inmates to develop an action plan for their release as well as work on their recovery.The organization posted statements last summer supporting Black Lives Matter and the racial justice movement and criticizing racism and police brutality. Kane characterized the movement as seeking to harm police.Comments are not available on this story.to the editors.filed under:Related StoriesLatest Articles|| Press HeraldX
