Mighty Matthew foils ‘Lollipop Bandits’

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

LEWIS Ñ It took Matthew Cech little time as a member of the Essex County Sheriff’s Department to break his first big case.

Cech, 8 years old and from Plattsburgh, known to many in the North Country as Mighty Matthew, was sworn in by Sheriff Richard Cutting April 13 with a specific case in mind: help the department find the Lollipop Bandits.

On the line was the safety of suckers everywhere and a reward of 400-plus lollipops for the person who brought the two bandits Ñ known as Bob Rice and Lloyd LaMotte Ñ to justice. Ò They said that these guys had stole lollipops, and I love lollipops,Ó Cech said, adding that he has been interested in being a member of a police force because Ò they have Tasers.Ó

LAKE PLACID Ñ The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) today advised motorists that construction will begin Wednesday, April 24, on a project to make slope repairs along Route 73 in the vicinity of Cascade Lakes between Lake Placid and Keene, Essex County. Starting on approximately May 1, traffic will be reduced to one lane, with a temporary traffic signal to control alternating one-way traffic from Lower Cascade Lake to approximately .5 miles east of Bobsled Run Road.

The lane closure will be in effect through May, with construction completed and all lanes open to traffic before Memorial Day weekend. The road may be fully closed for up to 30 minutes at a time as needed for boulder removal and rock scaling operations, which could present hazards to passing traffic. Three parking areas Ð at Stagecoach Road, Cascade Mountain and Pitchoff Mountain Ð also will be closed during construction.

At some point during construction, Route 73 will be closed completely for one weekend, between 6 a.m. on Saturday and 6 p.m. on Sunday. It is expected this weekend closure will occur May 11-12, depending on weather and work schedule. The final dates will be announced to the traveling public in advance. During the closure, traffic will follow a signed detour along Routes 86 and 9N, Springfield Road (County Road 83) and Fox Farm Road (County Road 63).

Internet expansion key for region Much more work remains to be done

A

statewide $25 million project to expand high-speed internet access in rural New York through the Connect NY Broadband Grant Program is welcome news.

The project includes $2.1 million to provide high-speed, low-cost broadband service to 457 households in the unserved areas of Schroon and North Hudson. The service will be delivered utilizing fiber to the home technology.

Also included is $557,000 for Essex County broadband service expansion. That money will provide high-speed broadband service to households that do not have access in Jay and Wilmington, passing 1,900 homes. The project will also provide digital video services and potentially a competitive telephone service.

Statewide the projects will build approximately 6,000 square miles of new infrastructure and will provide high-speed internet service to 153,000 New York households, 8,000 businesses and 400 community anchor institutions.

While internet use has become the norm, it’s still not available in many areas. High-speed service, normally provided through cable companies, typically stops where cable television service ends. That means hundreds of rural areas remain without high-speed internet access.

High-speed internet expansion is crucial for the North Country, which faces the “digital divide.”

The term was coined by sociologists to describe a split in American society between those with access to readily available information and those who do not. Most agree, people without access to the internet are at a disadvantage.

Information and communication technologies are vital in today’s world, just as reading was centuries ago. Internet access can impact education, economic equality, social mobility and a host of other issues. Today’s students need the internet. Most employment applications are now found on line. Facebook, Twitter and other internet social media dominate today’s society.

Internet access also benefits entire communities. It can lead to a healthier democracy through increased public participation in elections and decision making processes. It can also foster economic development and growth.

Bridging the “digital divide” is necessary in a democratic society, otherwise the United States runs the risk of becoming a nation of “haves” and “have nots.” The Connect NY Broadband Grant Program should be lauded for its efforts.

But there’s work to be done. Even after the announcement in March of 18 Connect NY Broadband Grant Program projects, many rural areas will remain without high-speed internet. The state awarded $25 million for internet expansion, but $89 million was requested. That left many North Country communities still lagging. Let’s hope the Connect NY Broadband Grant Program continues until all of New York has the internet access it needs. Ñ

ow will we know if the 3-8 ELA and math state tests raise educational standards; get our students ready for college and a career and accurately measure a teacherÕ s effectiveness? There has been no consistency or continuity and there is no indication that there will be.

Determining classroom success is not as simple as the students taking a test, looking at the scores and addressing their weaknesses based on those scores.

In the last eight years these tests have been administered in January, March, May and now April. During one school year, the administration dates were changed after the school year began. The number of questions and sections on the tests, as well as the length of time to complete the tests have been changed annually.

The raw score a student gets has no correlation to the final score from grade to grade or year to year.

When you ask for an explanation of what the scaled score means or what formula is used to create the scores, testing and state education representatives will say they canÕ t tell you or they donÕ t know.

When the students take the tests this month, the tests will be scored regionally and shipped to Albany within two weeks. The test results will not be released by the state for another three months.

f Earth were an apple, the skin of the apple would be the thickness of our worldÕ s atmosphere. Indeed, we are most fortunate in our distance from the sun: On one side of us, we have the planet Venus which has extremely violent weather patterns with temperatures of 9000 F and 99 percent carbon dioxide; on the other side, we have Mars, a dry planet where temperatures of -800 F are common. Indeed, our planetÕ s placement is most critical and fortunate.

Should We Be Worried?

Should we be worried about our world warming up? My answer is yes! Most of the north polar ice has melted leaving some 90 percent of the ice in the southern glacial Antarctic region. This is resulting in an increased heat and pressure/wind gradient causing unprecedented weather violence. Glacial melting with its added moisture could theoretically raise the water levels to disastrous levels flooding the coastal cities. This would occur especially if AntarcticÕ s west glacial mass were to break off and melt; and, because of all this, it would seem inevitable that the El Nino would also change Ñ a system in itself

Guest viewpoint: state testing Regents exams follow the same scoring process and schools have those results in 24 hours. What exactly are they doing with the test results in Albany for three months? The tests this year are more difficult and schools have been told to expect this yearÕ s scores to drop 30%-40%. That might be disconcerting if we knew what the scores meant to begin with.

ItÕ s no wonder there is a growing movement by parents to Ò opt outÓ from having their children tested in grades 3-8. The State Education Department recently sent a letter stating that parents may not have their children opt out. While technically accurate, it was also misleading and seems to indicate that NYSED knows there is a problem.

The law requires that the tests be administered and schools are required to have 95% participation or the school gets penalized. If a child refuses to take the test, there are no repercussions for the child. The school is held accountable, not the student. The tests are not required for promotion the way that Regents exams are for graduation.

The problems are not limited to the last few years or only the 3-8 tests. Years ago students in high school took Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry.

Then those classes were changed to Sequential Math 1, 2 and 3 to Ò raise standardsÓ , Ò make our

students competitiveÓ , and Ò better prepare them for college.Ó Then the state changed those courses to Math A and Math B for the same reasons. They recently changed the curriculum toÉ Algebra, Geometry and Algebra II/ Trigonometry. Now, with the implementation of the Common Core Standards, the State Education Department is changing the tests and the curriculum- again.

In 2003 so many students failed the Math A exam the state changed the grading scale. It has remained the same since then (even though they changed the course back to Algebra) and to this day, if a student gets 30 points out of a possible 87, their score on the Regents exam is a 65. That may sound absurd, but here is where you can review the scoring conversion chart- http://www.nysedregents. org/IntegratedAlgebra/113/ialg12013-cc.pdf.

Another growing movement among parents is to restrict what information schools collect and is being forwarded to the State Education Department due to a fear that it will be given to the Gates Foundation and testing companies. This personal information includes names, grades, test scores, race, ethnicity, disciplinary and attendance records, economic status, disabilities and health conditions. Most parents donÕ t realize what is being sent

to the State Education Department. It has gotten so ridiculous that last year schools were told they eventually will have to report if a female student is pregnant along with the date of conception.

We spend more time testing and collecting, reporting, verifying, certifying and confirming data than ever before. We keep hearing that our students donÕ t test as well as students from other countries or that we have higher dropout rates. ItÕ s an apples to oranges comparison, and anyone that takes the time to look at the educational systems of these other countries knows that. Constantly changing the curriculum and tests and how they are scored every year is not educational reform.

Standardized testing as part of an overall program has a purpose but an over reliance on tests that are constantly changing and collecting an increasing amount of personal data on students is not raising standards and does nothing to actually change the educational system as a whole. The leadership that pushes testing and data collection wants us to believe that this time- they know what theyÕ re doing.

Given recent history, why would we believe them?

Guest viewpoint: global warming little understood. And, this has all happened much faster than history would predict. For example, Ice Ages are roughly correlated to our planetÕ s changing orbit, tilt, and gyration; global change in temperatures of 2 or 30 F can transform the landscape with a noticeable effect, as suggested above. These changing patterns occur over thousands of years.

The primary cause for this global warming and changing weather is the excess buildup of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere due to emissions from factories, houses, cities, automobiles, ships, planes, etc. Let’s first take a look at some of the “solutionsÓ already in place and the arguments for and against. Solar Power, making use of the heat of the sun, and Wind Power are used to generate heat in the winter and running fans and cooling units in the summer. Solar and wind are fine on an individual level; but, on an industrial level we canÕ t get enough consistent energy to be cost effective.

Because coal and other carbon dioxide producing fuels are used to produce electricity we need to consider non-gaseous solutions, such as nuclear power.

However, developing nuclear fission reactors and

fusion reactors (still theoretical) is still in its infancy.

Nuclear fusion (the power of the sun and stars) would be the better of the two but still has many problems. The major argument against nuclear power is what we do with the radioactive waste until it deteriorates enough to be safe. There are plenty of underground storage possibilities, though quite expensive. Another interesting observation is the danger in the Northern Rim, which is the total land mass north of the equator with considerably more than in the southern hemisphere. In The North, methane in the form of methane clathrates is locked up in the permafrost; if the permafrost keeps melting, it will release a gas twenty times more potent than carbon dioxide. Another observation is that, amazing as it seems, cities are considered green because they are relatively efficient. Here we have the convenience of shopping, community contact, cultural events, cost effective transportation such as buses, subways, etcetera, and where we can walk, run, bike, skate, doing our chores — good health benefits here.

Indeed, if we had 70 to 80 percent of the world living in cities, we would free some three percent of land,

which is about 1,800,000 square miles that could be used to grow crops, breed and graze cattle, develop fish hatcheries, and for forestation and recreation to keep species of wild life from extinction and for the production oxygen essential for life in general.

We need sources that are not combustible and not land intensive as solar and wind power. We also need a universal, free thinking, uninhibited public and system of education without mass denial and unjustified prejudices. I cannot overstress education; indeed, the more the better! We must emphasize research in fission and fusion nuclear energy, and look for other possibilities. We must do the same with genetic engineering, which is what nature has been doing with all life forms for some 13.7 billion years, to improve our food and medical crops, develop better strains of food, fertilizers, and pesticides, herbicides, Ñ all things green. It is up to us as individuals and the world governments Ñ Ò to do or die.Ó Douglas (Doug) Peden: Mathematician, theorist, and former Rocket and Nuclear Reactor Design Engineer.

PLATTSBURGH Ñ The Imaginarium Childrens museum in Plattsburgh launched its Ò Blast BoredomÓ campaign during a fun-filled press conference April 10. Ò We want to blast boredom from our children and give them outlets to learn on their own terms in a creative and fun way,Ó said Imaginarium President Jennifer Meschinelli. Ò So, we ask our community to help us on this mission to blast boredom.Ó The campaign was launched in part by Cardinal Public Relations, a student run organization of mainly marketing and public relations students at Plattsburgh State University.

Cardinal Public Relations President Timothy Maggio said the group chose the Imaginarium because of the museumÕ s promotion of quality learning and education. Ò By helping fund our blast boredom exhibit campaign, you can provide your children and community with a childrenÕ s museum that will continuously give back to our Plattsburgh area for our quality of life, economy and education,Ó Meschinelli said.

The Imaginarium ChildrenÕ s Museum was founded by community-minded mothers and educators with a strong passion for fostering interactive inquiry and inspiring creativity in children and adults through moments of shared discovery. Ò ItÕ s not just a great value to the students and the kids, itÕ s a great value to the whole family,Ó said Marty Mannix, a Plattsburgh town councilman. Ò Bottom line we have much to celebrate here.Ó The Imaginarium ChildrenÕ s Museum provides shared experiences through interpretative and interactive exhibits such as the science room, a climbing wall and a glow room with a light up table. The exhibits are made for children to touch, climb on, experiment with and learn about while having fun. By exposing adults and children to unfamiliar concepts in a non-threatening, hands-on approach, and ensuring that the museum experience is accessible to those of differing abilities and backgrounds, the childrenÕ s museum creates bridges of understanding. The museum incorporates art, science, math, music, literacy and other exhibits and programs for children to experience new things in a fun and educating way, Meschinelli said. Ò Children are valuable resources, especially in communities where such programs have been reduced or completely eliminated from schools and libraries due to budget constraints,Ó Meschinelli said.

The Imaginarium is a non-for profit organization. Meschinelli said with the help of fundraising the organization can hopefully move to a new location within the city of Plattsburgh or expand the building they currently occupy at 4709 State Route 9. Ò We want to stay in Plattsburgh, this is a facility for people in the city, but we have already outgrown the space we are in,Ó Meschinelli said.

For more information call the Imaginarium at 324-7426 or visit their website at Imaginariumchildrensmuseum.org.

PSU Students help community

In the past Cardinal Public Relations has directed its energy to helping HannahÕ s Hope Fund, a program that supports Giant Axonal Neuropathy research. Giant Axonal Neuropathy (GAN) is a recessively inherited condition that results in progressive nerve death. Giant Axonal Neuropathy is believed to be caused by a loss of function disorder, meaning an intracellular protein needed for long-term nerve survival either isnÕ t being made, or is being immediately degraded before it can perform its job. Through the help of Cardinal Public Relations, HannahÕ s Hope was able to win $450,000 in the Pepsi Refresh Contest. Ò Because of the this they now have resources to go to human trials for possible treatments of GAN,Ó Maggio said. Ò If we do find a cure for GAN, it will have started out with Clinton County.Ó Ò Cardinal PR has a vision for the Imaginarium,Ó Maggio said. Ò We see the Imaginarium providing a quality learning environment and we know it can help the economy here and we want to help this non-for-profit.Ó For more information about how to apply for help from Cardinal PR, contact future Cardinal PR President Bridgit Kasperski at Bridgit.Kasperski@gmail.com to submit a PR proposal. Ò We like them to have specific focus when they present to us so we can see how we can help,Ó said Kasperski.

It sounds like you are a bit trapped in Ô college behaviorÕ , where banter and anything goes is more the norm. Wishing to have a more mature relationship will take some effort on both of your parts. It would be nice to first approach your girlfriend by saying, Ò I feel like our relationship has become less special with our current living situation and I am wondering how you are feelingÓ . See what her response is and build from there. She could very well be feeling the same way. This may seem a bit uncomfortable, but your intention is sweet, committed, and truthful, so be certain not to send the message that something is Ò wrong.Ó The continued growth will come from that simple agreement and the willingness to make some changes. When a coupleÕ s relationship is in a group living situation, it becomes less intimate purely by lack of privacy. Time and effort need to be put in by the two of you. Reflect back on how your relationship started and what you like to do together. Plan ahead; seize the time or moments that you do have alone to focus on each other (with no t.v., cell phones or computers to distract you). Intimacy means that certain characteristics of your relationship are solely for the two of you and joking about these or indiscreetly disclosing these details diminishes its value. Tighten up on this.

Once you have set a new course, having a conversation with your roommate may be an awkward, but honest way to keep the good vibe going. It takes a lot of Ò water and sunshineÓ to keep the relationship growing and thriving.

This same set of feelings and the need to reevaluate/reestablish a relationship can happen when a couple has their first child or a living situation changes with children coming and going… Relationships evolve and become redefined over time and through experience. They are never static, at least the best ones arenÕ t!

Mighty Matthew

Continued from page 1 Shortly after being sworn in, Mighty Matthew and Sheriff Cutting hit the road on patrol

Above, Matthew makes the collar and cuffs one of the Lollipop Bandits. Below, he makes sure the other bandit is seen to jail.

watching for a truck that fit the description of the one being driven by the bandits.

Indeed, Cech was able to spot the vehicle, and a chase ensued along a dirt road in Lewis before the bandits were pulled over and arrested by the newest deputy.

Once in custody, Cech searched the vehicle, finding the evidence he needed, even taking the chance to sample the goods to make sure that it was indeed the lollipops in question.

Following processing and booking, Cech received his reward of lollipops, along with tokens of the sheriffÕ s appreciation, including the Ò pepper sprayÓ he used to control the suspects.

As for what he would do with the spray, he gently said, Ò I am looking at you, Steven,Ó referring to his 14-year-old brother, who was made a member of MatthewÕ s posse along with 16-year-old brother Bradley.

For Mighty Matthew, it was another positive day that comes between days of visits to the hospital and therapy as Cech fights against Mitochondrial Disease. Ò One of the deputiesÕ wives (Devann Murphy) had seen Matthew and his story and sent us a message that they would like to put something together for him,Ó father Terry Cech said. Ò We communicated back and forth and got everything set up.Ó Terry said that moments like these help both Matthew and the family through the tough times. Ò We are dealing with a chronic illness, and the outcome is not favorable,Ó he said. Ò The outpouring of community spirit and support has been fantastic. He is a lovable kid with such an upbeat attitude and he fights with might, which has been his motto. He had an absolute blast today, and it helps us all keep our minds off the daily doctors and trials.Ó Ò It takes a lot of the stress off a typical day for him,Ó mom Lisa Cech said. Ò This is something fun where he can just go out and be a kid.Ó Ò It was awesome to see this happen,Ó Murphy said. Ò It went great,Ó Cutting said. Ò It was probably the highlight of my 35 years in service.Ó Along with giving Matthew a chance to be a kid, events like this also allow the family to continue to shed light on Mitochondrial Disease, an inherited genetic condition that affects the parts of the body that need the most energy, such as the heart, brain, muscles and lungs.

“When he first became sick in 2006, we had never heard of this,Ó Terry Cech said. Ò It is something that we can do not only to help us but organizations that are working for a cure by putting a face locally to what they are trying to do.Ó Ò This is a disease that takes the lives of more children then all of the childhood cancers combined,Ó Lisa Cech said. Ò We had the Mighty Matthew events, which is the superhero that he likes to be, and it has helped raise awareness and funds to help find a cure.”

Knights of the Night to benefit Malorie Drolette

By Shaun Kittle

shaun@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGHÑ It is amazing how quickly a personÕ s life can change.

Malorie DroletteÕ s parents recently brought the 16-year-old girl to the doctor because she seemed to be suffering from a sinus infection.

As the doctor examined the lymph node glands on MalorieÕ s neck, she noticed a lump.

That lump resulted in a visit to Fletcher Allen Medical Center in Burlington, where Malorie was tested and later diagnosed with HodgkinÕ s lymphoma, a form of cancer that originates in white blood cells.

Now, about five weeks after the March 11 diagnosis, she and her family are frequently making the trip to Burlington for MalorieÕ s treatment schedule.

And Seton Catholic High School in Plattsburgh is trying to help Malorie and her family get through it by hosting the Knights of the Night Talent Show on Saturday, April 20.

The show is sponsored by SetonÕ s student council and music department, and all proceeds from the event will help MalorieÕ s family pay for the treatment and transportation costs associated with her visits to Fletcher Allen.

Ò ItÕ s going to have students from group performance classes doing music, comedy and modern songs,Ó said Lita Kelly Paczak, music teacher at Seton Catholic. Ò WeÕ re also hoping to have a group of teachers perform, which is always hilarious. ItÕ ll be entertainment from all walks of musical life.Ó The event is a perfect fit for Malorie, who is a junior at the school. Ò She loves to listen to music,Ó said MalorieÕ s mother, Danielle Drolette. Ò ItÕ s been her therapy for years. It calms her.Ó But now Malorie needs a different kind of therapyÑ chemotherapyÑ to help her beat HodgkinÕ s lymphoma.

That means she must travel to Fletcher Allen three days a week in cycles that are two weeks long.

After taking a week off, Malorie is now in her second cycle. Ò SheÕ s responded well to the chemotherapy, and will have a cat scan done in a few weeks, and then they will determine if more chemotherapy needs to be done,Ó Danielle said.

Since most cancer cells divide rapidly, chemotherapeutic agents target cells that divide rapidly.

This can lead to serious side effects, since cells in the bone marrow, digestive tract and

hair follicles also divide rapidly, and are therefore targeted, too.

MalorieÕ s parents are both supportive, though, In an effort to show Malorie that theyÕ re all in it together, her father, Christopher, gave her a buzz cut after she began to lose her hair from the chemo tratments.

He then turned the clippers on himself and Danielle.

Changes like that have taken some getting used toÑ the familyÕ s life is much different than it was just two months agoÑ but Danielle said there is a silver lining. Ò Malorie says she now knows what she wants to do after high school next year, and that is to be a nurse,Ó Danielle said. Ò She sees how compassionate they are, especially with the kids.Ó ThereÕ s a 90 percent success rate for HodgkinÕ s lymphoma, so everyone, including Malorie, is hopeful.

She is so hopeful, in fact, that sheÕ s even set a short-term goal for herself. Ò She wants to be well enough to attend her junior prom on May 11,Ó Danielle said. Ò SheÕ s never been to one before, and she says sheÕ s going to make it.Ó

The Knights of the Night Talent Show will be held Saturday, April 20, at Seton Catholic Central School to benefit Malorie Drolette and her family as she battles Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

State budget director details new initiatives in visit to area

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com GLENS FALLS Ñ In a rare visit to the region, state Budget Director Robert Megna told a gathering of civic leaders and citizens about how the newly-approved 2013-14 state budget accomplishes a wide array of goals.

The new budget creates jobs, cuts taxes for middle-class families, boosts the minimum wage, reduces costs for businesses and increases education funding to its highest level ever Ñ yet hikes overall spending less than 2 percent, Megna said.

“Jobs are coming back, confidence is being restored, and as the Governor says, it is now a Ô new New York,Õ Ó Megna said.

An audience of about 80 people from all over Warren County attended MegnaÕ s presentation, and nearly a dozen asked him questions about the spending plan.

Megna noted that the last two budgets, crafted in compromise between Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the state legislature, represented a dramatic rebound from a $10 billion deficit and had put the state back on a track of financial responsibility.

“We’ve put our fiscal house in order — and we’ve right-sized government while showing the nation that New York is open for business,Ó he said.

Taxes reduced, govt. spending cut

Megna said that the dozens of state agencies were held to a zero percent budget increase, state employee salaries were kept stable and employee benefits were re-structured to save taxpayers a substantial sum. Ò We now have the lowest middle-class tax rates in 60 years,Ó he said, adding that families earning from $40,000 to $300,000 annually will be receiving a $350 rebate check this year. Ò In 2012, 4.4 million new Yorkers received a tax cut, and there will be more this year,Ó he continued.

New budget to spur prosperity

The new budget reflects $800 million in business tax cuts, he added. Small businesses, Megna said, will receive income tax exemptions totaling $141 million, and manufacturers will experience a 25 percent reduction Ñ a total of $120 million Ñ in tax cuts, in an effort to prompt corporations to retain and create high-wage jobs.

The Cuomo administrationÕ s programs to boost employment have resulted in 300,000 new jobs since Jan. 2011, he said, adding he was floored by the data indicating that one-fifth of all new private-sector jobs in the U.S. during that time were created in New York State alone.

Hiked minimum wage offset

The stateÕ s pending hike in the minimum wage from $7.25 to $8.50 per hour, he said, wouldnÕ t burden businesses because the increased wages would be substantially offset by a tax credit for hiring teenage students at minimum wage Ñ credits that are predicted to total $163 million statewide. He observed that 48,000 workers in the Capital Region earn less than $9 per hour.

He also said that through reform of unemployment insurance and workersÕ compensation, businesses in New York would save $1.2 billion, without decreasing benefits to workers.

Boost for high-tech innovation

He said that the budget provides for a program to prompt innovation in industry, particularly in high-technology fields through establishing Ò innovation hot spotsÓ in academic centers, launching 10 high-technology incubators and establishing tax incentives for business ventures that evolve out of the research and development projects. Ò WeÕ ll be working to keep young entrepreneurs with great ideas here in New York,Ó he said.

In a public forum held Thursday, April 4, state Budget Director Bob Megna explains how the 2013-14 state budget balances new investments in job growth, education and innovation with tax cuts to families and businesses as well as reform to unemployment insurance and workers’ compensation — moves expected to provide $1.3 billion in savings to taxpayers.

State Sen. Betty Little as a fiscal expert, personally visited Glens Falls to present the budget. Ò He really knows his stuff,Ó Bartholomew said.

Photo by Thom Randall

Little also praised his expertise. Ò Bob Megna really knows the issues inside and out,Ó she said. Ò ThereÕ s not a question you can ask that can stump him.Ó

Education a budget priority

Boosting education is part of the plan to create new goodpaying jobs, Megna said, noting that the 1013-14 budget calls for increasing state investments in education by $936 million, a hike of 4.7 percent. The Capital Region alone would receive $47 million in additional state aid to education, he added. This aid includes $25 million for all-day pre-kindergarten, $20 million for extended learning time Ñ longer school days or school years; $11 million for rewarding high-performing teachers, and $4 million for early college programs in high schools. The state is to pay 100 percent of the cost of these initiatives, he said.

Funding for those with disabilities

Area resident John Davidson expressed concern about the pending $90 million cut in funding of programs for New Yorkers with developmental disabilities.

Megna replied that services and programs for these individuals would not be effected, because the budget cuts Ñ prompted by reductions of $1.1 billion in federal Medicaid reimbursement Ñ would be offset by cuts in service agency administrative expenses, prosecutions of fraud and elimination of overpayments. Ò The last thing we want to do is disrupt services for this population,Ó he said.

Glens Falls Economic Community Development Director Ed Bartholomew said later he was pleased to hear MegnaÕ s commitment to the programs. Ò ItÕ s good to hear his intent not to reduce funding to the services for these individuals, and hear his pledge to monitor the situation.Ó Bartholomew said he hopes the Cuomo administration goes further in cutting costs for both businesses and residents Ñ particularly by eliminating the utility tax, which received cuts in this budget.

Queensbury board member John Strough, responding to MegnaÕ s comments on utility reform, suggested that the governor look into allowing municipalities to own their streetlights rather than lease them from electric utility corporations Ñ such a move could allow installation of far more efficient lighting, saving taxpayers money while aiding the environment, he said. Megna complimented Strough on his idea.

Bartholomew said he was pleased that Megna, credited by
