Where new state grants are flowing to boost area water quality projects

Communities in Chemung, Steuben and other Southern Tier counties are among localities statewide that will benefit from water quality grants announced by Gov. Kathy Hochul. Through the program, the state Department of Environmental Conservation is awarding $45 million in state grants to support 25 projects to further improve water quality in Region 8, which includes Chemung, Steuben and Schuyler counties. Those projects will directly improve water quality or habitat, promote flood risk reduction, restoration, and enhanced flood and climate resiliency, or protect a drinking water source, DEC said in a news release. "Funding from these grants will directly help local communities upgrade essential infrastructure to protect drinking water, improve flood resiliency, and reduce the amount of polluted stormwater runoff entering lakes, rivers and streams,” said DEC Region 8 Director Timothy P. Walsh. Here is a breakdown of how those grants will support water quality projects in area counties: Chemung County Chemung County: A $400,000 grant will enable the county to buy a vacuum truck to conduct regular cleanouts of catch basins and stormwater infrastructure and help reduce pollution in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

Corning native, combat vet Jason Shaddock shares Veterans Day lessons

Hundreds came to honor servicemen and women Wednesday, Nov. 11 at Corning's annual Veterans Day ceremony at the Veterans Memorial Park, off Park Avenue. Brian Francis, commander of the Corning American Legion and a retired U.S. Army veteran with 26 years of service, emphasized the role of military service in safeguarding fundamental freedoms. "It is a soldier, not a poet who has given up freedom of speech," Francis said. "It is a soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us freedom to demonstrate. It is a soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag." Francis said these liberties were earned through the sacrifices and service of those who defended the nation. Jason Shaddock, Deputy Commissioner for New York State Department of Veterans Service and combat veteran of the United State Marine Corps and the United States Army, thanked the Corning American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4218 for co-sponsoring the Veterans Day event. "As a native of Corning, is especially meaningful to be here today," Shaddock said while speaking at the Veterans Memorial Park event. "I know the character of the people of the Southern Tier. I

Taste Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stouts in Corning, support Bampa's House

The Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout 30-Year Vertical Tasting Journey will be held Saturday, Nov. 14 at Carey's Brew House on Bridge Street in Corning, to raise money for the Bampa's House. Joe Carey, owner of Carey's Brew House and a longtime member of the Bampa's House Board of Directors, said the Art of Beer & Food, a multi-course experience, will begin at 4 p.m. Saturday at Carey's Brew House. "It will feature 30 years of Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout beer collection," Carey said. "You will never find another tasting like this of Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout except if you were at the Brooklyn brewery." Carey said much of the Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout collection was done by Jim Dugan, whose family established Bampa's House after he passed away on Feb. 21, 2016, at the age of 68, after a battle with cancer. "Carey is a cornerstone of the people in the community that help build Bampa's," said Steve Ritter, President of Bampa's House. "We are a community organization, and when we get people like Carey, and Carey's Brew House behind us to do these fundraisers, it means the world to us. It keeps us going because we don't receive any
