Bobcat bounce-back means more hunting
ALBANY — Bobcat populations are on the rebound in forests and fields across the state. Once a rarity, the elusive animal is becoming more common as strict limits increase their numbers. As a result, wildlife experts are proposing to double the annual take available to hunters and trappers by opening up vast new parts of the state, including more sections of the Capital Region. The state Department of Environmental of Environmental Conservation wants to allow bobcat hunting and trapping in an area going from the Capital Region, along parts of the Mohawk Valley, south into the Southern Tier and west to the Pennsylvania border. “This a testament to good management and habitat consistently improving in the state,” said Angie Berchielli, conservation chairwoman for the state chapter of The Wildlife Society. The cats need relatively large areas to thrive. In the Adirondacks, the average home range of a male bobcat can be up to 136 square miles, DEC said. Females occupy about a quarter of that. In the Catskills, where prey is more available, the average male range is 14 square miles, while the female average is 12 square miles. Berchielli said her group praises the state plan to continue gauging bobcat numbers to ensure the overall population is not damaged by more hunting and trapping. More parts of Albany, Saratoga and Schenectady counties would be added to locations where it is allowed in the Catskills, Hudson Valley, Champlain Valley, Adirondacks and the Tug Hill Plateau. In a proposed five-year plan to “provide sustainable use and enjoyment of bobcat by the public,” DEC estimates there are about 5,000 bobcats statewide. Their numbers have been increasing in recent years, boosted in part by bobcats coming across the border from Pennsylvania. Currently, about 500 bobcats a year are killed by hunters or trappers, [...]

BUCKEYE LAKE – Buckeye Lake Police Officer James Petrey is on unpaid leave following an arrest in New Albany for driving under the influence of alcohol. Petrey also faces criminal charges from the New Albany Police Department for inducing panic and weapons under disability, or displaying a weapon while intoxicated. Buckeye Lake Police Captain James Hanzey presented a lengthy report to Mayor Rick Baker, explaining how he learned of the charges against Petrey and a series of events that followed. According to Hanzey’s report, Hanzey received a phone call at home the evening of Jan. 12 stating that the New Albany Police department was looking for a Buckeye Lake officer named Jim. “This not being me, I called the New Albany Police Department and found the officer they were looking for was Officer James Petrey,†said Hanzey in the report. He said the New Albany dispatcher told him that Petrey had an argument with his girlfriend while sitting in a Tim Horton’s parking lot near the I-70 Brice Road exit. The dispatcher said Petrey had been drinking and placed a gun toward his head. However, Hanzey called Petrey, who said he disagreed with the dispatcher’s assessment. Hanzey told Petrey to meet him at the Buckeye Lake office, and Petrey said he was on his way. Hanzey asked Chief Ron Small to join the meeting. “While at the office, I received a phone call from Sgt. Anderson of the New Albany Department, who stated that he had removed two firearms from the trunk of Officer Petrey’s vehicle and that he had taken control of the weapons,†said Hanzey in his report. Anderson said the weapons were a Glock .45 caliber gun and a Government Issue .45 caliber gun, which Buckeye Lake Village owns. Hanzey told Anderson he and Small were headed [...]

NEW ALBANY —  The New Albany boys’ basketball squad hasn’t dropped too many games at The Doghouse during coach Jim Shannon’s tenure, but sometimes when it happens, the 14th-year Bulldogs head coach has learned to turn the page quickly. “We’re just going to try and forget this one,†Shannon said after New Albany’s (8-5) 61-47 loss to Evansville North Friday. “I thought we got off to a good start in the first quarter, but after that, we were lethargic, we didn’t attack their zone, we couldn’t score — and when we had to chase them, their athleticism really hurt us.â€Â The Bulldogs took a 16-11 lead at the end of the first quarter behind a layup from reserve center Louis Donastorg, who scored off a nice feed from senior guard A.J. Schmidt with 20 seconds remaining in the first frame. A short jumper by New Albany’s Drew King made the score 18-11 at the open of the second quarter, and the Bulldogs led 20-13 moments later after another inside bucket from Donastorg. The Huskies would outscore New Albany 8-0 over the next 90 seconds to capture the lead behind three-pointers from Ty Pauley and Jay’von Gilmore and a dribble-drive and layup from Jaylen Chambers. Over the remaining five minutes in the first half, there would be two ties and three lead changes, but a 17-foot jumper from Chambers with a minute left would give Evansville North a 25-24 lead, which they would carry into halftime. Evansville North did major damage to the hosts over a three-minute span to close out the third quarter, where they outscored New Albany 13-3. During that time, guards Ty Pauley and Chambers forced four turnovers and scored four baskets in transition, and the Huskies led at the end of three 50-39. Evansville North extended [...]

Stella Wheesk and her common-law husband Harold Wesley live in a temporary housing trailer. “It’s like living in a closet,” Wesley says. SPENCER WYNN/TORONTO STAR ATTAWAPISKAT, ONT.—For more than 20 years, Gilles Bisson has been visiting Attawapiskat, often flying his own small plane up to this remote Cree reserve. As much as any outsider can, he knows all the people, all the issues. Being a smart guy, he also knows how much he doesn’t know. “Sometimes,†sighs the veteran New Democrat MPP for Timmins-James Bay. “I wonder if I really understand the community any better now than when I started.†Attawapiskat is basically built on swamp, about 300 kilometres north of Moosonee on the James Bay coast. And the imagery fits. Lately, as the reserve became the new Canadian shorthand for native need, dysfunction and failure, its problems have seemed just as boggy and intractable. The community is, to be sure, everything it has been portrayed as and more — a world of chronic poverty and dependence, of babies having far too many babies, of cascading generations piling up in shanties, of disheartening self-sabotage, of nepotism and decidedly imperfect governance. Sometimes, every affliction known to native reserves across Canada seems to have been poured into individuals here, people so buried under problems it’s impossible to imagine them ever emerging. Bernice Tookate is 26. She has almost no education. “I didn’t make it to my Grade 8 graduation.†She has six children. Five have been taken into care. One daughter lives with her grandmother in Attawapiskat. Until Bernice and her husband Patrick were moved recently into emergency shelter in the local healing lodge, they were living in an uninsulated shed, the door of which did not close, through nights of minus 30C. Tookate is off drugs and alcohol now for more [...]

Michael DeMasi Reporter – The Business Review Email | Facebook | Twitter | LinkedIn E.A. Morse and Co., a janitorial products supplier in Middletown, New York, opened a new warehouse and distribution center in Schodack to accommodate its growing business and improve service to customers in the Albany area. E.A. Morse is leasing 19,500 square feet at 1210 Route 9, near Exit 12 of Interstate 90. The company moved into the building, which is owned by Quality Carton, last week, said Emerson Morse, treasurer. The company has 18 people, including sales staff, work there. The company distributes janitorial products to schools, municipalities and private businesses in the Hudson Valley, Mohawk Valley, Adirondacks, western Massachusetts, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. A total of 50 people work for the company. Revenue figures are not disclosed. E.A. Morse acquired Restrooms of Albany last month. The terms were not disclosed. As a result of the purchase, the company needed to expand inside its warehouse in Hudson or move elsewhere. Another tenant at the Hudson warehouse decided to buy the building, Morse said, so the company looked for new space and settled on Schodack.

ALBANY — Local charities say that the financial problems at a prominent private foundation have caused a ripple effect of shortages at their organizations. The issues are related to problems at Charitable Venture Foundation and Charitable Leadership Foundation, both of Clifton Park. The Liebich family, known for its philanthropy in the Capital Region and across the country, was forced to lay off the staff at both organizations late last month. The family, which made its fortune creating the food distribution giant Sysco, has funded some of the most ambitious scientific projects in the area, including Ordway Research Center and the Center for Medical Research, a $60 million, 150,000-square-foot building in the University Heights section of Albany that housed Ordway and other prominent research labs such as the state Department of Health’s famed Wadsworth Center. But Ordway, which was created by the Liebich family to fund some of the most innovative cancer and infectious disease researchers in the world, filed for federal bankruptcy protection last April after the family was forced to cut back on its subsidies for the lab. That set off a chain of events that ended with the Center for Medical Science going into foreclosure and leaving a number of Ordway creditors crying foul. However, many local charities that received support from the Liebichs also suffered, they claim, after grant money promised by the family’s other foundation, Charitable Venture Foundation, never came through. One of those affected was the New York Council of Nonprofits of Albany. Doug Sauer, chief executive officer of the group, also known as NYCON, won a $145,000 grant in 2009 to assist the organization with merging charities that were duplicating services. Sauer says his group received slightly more than $31,000 of that amount. It hurt because NYCON followed through on the merger program but [...]

Associated Press ALBANY, N.Y. — New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman says one of his major objections has been resolved in a proposed settlement between U.S. states and the nation’s biggest mortgage lenders over deceptive foreclosure practices. Schneiderman, named Friday to help lead a nationwide probe of wrongdoing in the mortgage-backed securities market, says his issue with the multistate settlement was that it shouldn’t interfere with a comprehensive investigation. He says he’s confident those liability releases for the banks have been “narrowed.” Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Citibank and Ally Financial agreed to the settlement, with up to $25 billion for lowering homeowners’ mortgage principal, refinancing, a reserve account, and checks to homeowners. The settlement grants immunity from civil lawsuits brought by state attorneys general against the lenders over narrowly defined “robo-signing” cases. —Copyright 2012 Associated Press Article source: http://online.wsj.com/article/AP2dc1185cecb44fd2a12b4e8d16b3ce04.html

The Ohio Theatre Alliance North Central Regional Auditions, held at Muskingum University on Saturday, Jan. 21, 2012 ,boasted participation from 330 students, 40 technicians, and 30 different companies. interviewing students for summer and/or year-round positions. Jerry Martin, Professor of Communication, Media and Theatre, and also the president of the Ohio Theatre Alliance, explained that the North Central Regional Auditions are the big event sponsored by the Ohio Theatre Alliance each year. ”For the last seven years we have held them here at Muskingum because our facility is the ideal size,” said Martin. Auditions started at 8 a.m. on Saturday in Caldwell Hall. Each student auditioning had 90 intense seconds, consisting of an excerpt of a song and a monologue, to prove to the different companies what they could do and why they should be chosen by them. ”I think that the hardest thing is definitely the preparations that go preceding the audition,” said Ashley Greer, a senior from Adrian College in Michigan. “It’s the preparations of deciding what I should sing, what monologue I should do, and money is also unfortunately a big thing, but it’s worth every penny.” It’s not just the preparations for the auditions but some people travel a long way for these auditions. Angelia Golden from Albany, New York auditioned to hopefully get a job after she graduates. ”I think the hardest part is traveling and beating your nerves and insecurities,” said Golden. “You just got to get over them.” The technicians were interviewed in Walter Hall. “I think the hardest part for the technical interviews is actually adjusting to what they’re looking for and trying to give them the right answers that they want to know,” said Kristy Priest, a junior at North Michigan University, who interviewed for a technical theatre [...]

By Jennifer Smith Richards The Columbus Dispatch Friday January 27, 2012 7:17 AM A New Albany man owes the state more than $600,000 because he mismanaged taxpayer dollars meant for kids at several charter schools, the state auditor said yesterday. At least two schools closed in financial ruin, including Montessori Renaissance Experience in Columbus. Carl W. Shye Jr. has been hit with 25 findings at three schools since last year, including the auditor’s announcement yesterday that he must repay $112,000 that he collected on behalf of Montessori Renaissance Experience — even after it no longer had students. The school was closed in 2009 because of financial difficulties. Before those problems arose, Montessori Renaissance had been told to close because of poor academic performance. A final audit of the school’s books was released yesterday. That took the total Shye owes to $617,260, according to the records of the auditor’s office. Some of those findings also cite other school officials, but Shye is ultimately responsible as the charters’ treasurer. Auditor’s office records show that Shye has been accused of financial misdeeds at a total of six schools going back to 2002. He was held liable for about $270,000 between 2002 and 2010. That money was repaid and isn’t part of the total he currently owes. “The evidence is clear — Carl Shye is a serial abuser of public dollars and taxpayer trust,” Auditor Dave Yost said in a statement. Shye’s accounting license is active but shows he isn’t practicing. His New Albany firm is listed as “out of business.” He also has a school-treasurer’s license through the Ohio Department of Education. The department’s office of professional conduct is investigating him. Nonetheless, he’s listed as the current treasurer for at least two local charter schools: Patriot Preparatory Academy on the East Side and [...]

[Editor's Note: Charles Blanchard was Albany Unified School District Board of Education vice president in 2007 and president in 2008, when the board decided to seek a bond issue to build a new pool. He chaired the Albany Pool Sustainability Committee in 2009 after he left the Board. The Sustainability Committee was asked to study the environmental and economic sustainability of the new pool. Read more here about the pool project on Albany Patch.] Albany Pool construction and operating costs were discussed at about a dozen public meetings in 2007 and 2008. All the questions that have been raised in recent Patch comments about Albany Pool were examined and the studies have been available for the past three years. Many of the studies are posted here. Here is the link to the 2007 needs assessment report that led to the decision to close the old Albany Pool. Pool operating costs were assessed by Sports Management Group (SMG) during the summer of 2008, and their reports and a follow-up are at these links: School Board Study Session (June 24, 2008) Financial Analysis Presentation (July 15, 2008) Supplementary Information on the Albany Pool (Aug. 19, 2008) In 2009, the school district asked a group of volunteers to consider the questions of environmental and economic sustainability of the new pool. The summary of the presentation is here. The full presentation is contained in three parts: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 The summary and Part 3 include consideration of pool operating costs. The committee found that the SMG assessment was based on generic pool operations, and did not realistically represent Albany’s 50-year historical experience. The committee carried out its own evaluation of operating costs and revenues based on historical operation of a mixed-use school-community facility in Albany, and the findings are summarized in the [...]

New Albany officials hope to keep new small businesses flowing into the city by committing more funds to TechColumbus, an organization that works with entrepreneurs to develop and launch technology start-ups. Council unanimously approved a letter of intent stating that it would commit to make annual payments of $100,000 for four years to TechColumbus to continue a successful partnership that began in 2007. According to Community Development Director Jennifer Chrysler the funding would be contingent upon annual budget fluctuations, and upon the ability of the New Albany Community Improvement Corp. to come up with agreeable terms for the partnership. The decision is an extension of a two-year, $100,000-per-year commitment approved in 2010 to fund TechStart New Albany, the local subsidiary of TechColumbus. Since then more than 30 tenants have signed leases at a 16,000 square-foot small business incubator called “INC@8000,” located at 8000 Walton Parkway in the New Albany Business Park. In all the facility has collected more than $58,000 in rent from tenants and has a waiting list 10 companies deep. The companies start out small, with as few as one or two employees. More than half are technology-based. Since the partnership began, TechColumbus has helped market New Albany as a tech-friendly community, and secured capital, coaching and mentoring for entrepreneurs to help them get started in the TechStart New Albany Program. “I think what we’ve seen here is that we were able to take our $100,000 investment and multiply that multiple times in order to really help companies in New Albany grow and create that technology ecosystem we’ve so much desired,” Chrysler said. The program has provided assistance to 51 New Albany-based companies and more than 100 in the northeast quadrant of Central Ohio since its inception in 2007. Overall it has helped local start-ups secure more than [...]

NEW ALBANY — If Kayla Eilers didn’t know what she wanted to pursue after high school, she does now. Spending a week at YoungArts Week in Miami helped cement her future plans. “It was an awesome experience, incredible” said Eilers, 18, a senior at New Albany High School. “Being at home, you don’t get to do theater every day, all day. You have your other classes. But down there it was all theater and it is what I want to do, every hour of the day.” Getting to Miami was no easy feat.
