The Short Track Super Series will be going international for the first
time in 2023. Along with the strong base of American tracks that the
STSS has competed at in recent years the STSS will be venturing into
Quebec, Canada in 2023 as they are scheduled to be at the Autodrome
Granby on Tuesday, July 25 & Le RPM Speedway on Wednesday, July 26.
Well, it looks as if former two time (1998, 99) Fonda Speedway
modified champion Dave Camara has landed a ride for the 2023 season.
Camara is slated to team up with car owner & former driver Wes
"Slugger" Moody to compete weekly at the Track of Champions and also
in selected Short Track Super Series events. The Moody Mile
Motorsports team will have a stable full of TEO chassis available and
a collection of motor combinations to help Camara as he looks to add
to his Fonda win total which currently sits at21 big-block modified
victories. Camara's last win came in 2008 and he last drove
competitively in 2010 and even though the cars may not look too much
different on the exterior, much has changed in chassis development and
technology. The Moody Mile Motorsports team and Dave Camara are
planning on using the #24 on their cars for 2023.
Fans can expect to see Robert Bublak at Albany-Saratoga Speedway
every Friday night as his plans are to compete weekly in the DIRTcar
big block modified division. In talking with Robert recently he is
also planning on going south for some of the upcoming races in
Florida.

WHITE PLAINS—The Trustees of the New York Power Authority (NYPA) on Dec. 13 approved a new five-year contract agreement with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), a labor union representing more than 570 electricians, line persons, and other skilled craft employees at NYPA, the nation’s largest state public power entity providing nearly a quarter of New York’s electricity. Union representatives and NYPA leadership gathered Dec.14 for a ceremonial signing of the contract at NYPA’s Niagara Power Project in Lewiston, N.Y.

“We are very pleased to have arrived at this contract with the IBEW and to ensure the continuation of good wages and medical benefits for a vitally important arm of NYPA’s workforce,” said NYPA Interim President and CEO Justin E.

The IBEW collective bargaining agreement includes wage increases that are retroactive and amount to a 17% increase over the term of the agreement which expires in 2027. Other negotiated terms include changes to time off provisions, retiree health care and the prescription drug plan for members who retire under this contract.

“The membership of IBEW 2104 continues to partner with the New York Power Authority in providing clean hydropower that helps fuel the economic development of this state. Having reached this new agreement, led by our new interim president and CEO Justin Driscoll, we look forward to doing our part to support Governor Hochul’s zero-emission goals,” said Lou Fazzolari, business manager, IBEW LOCAL 2104.

“Members of the IBEW are highly trained, dedicated professionals who have made tremendous contributions to support the production of clean, low-cost power throughout New York State. I am proud of our members and the many accomplishments and sacrifices they have made during unprecedented times.

SUNY Delhi Unveils Land Acknowledgement Plaque

The plaque is dedicated to the past, present, and future Indigenous people in the Delhi community.

DELHI, NY (12/19/2022) This month, SUNY Delhi unveiled a plaque on campus to acknowledge that the college stands on the homeland of the Kanien'keha:ka, one of the five founding nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. The plaque is dedicated to the past, present, and future Indigenous people in the Delhi community.

Located in the Farrell Student and Community Center next to the Haudenosaunee flag, the plaque reads, in part, "SUNY Delhi gives honor and respect to the land and its original inhabitants. We recognize that the land used for educating current and future generations is not our land but belongs to the Indigenous people and the descendants of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. We will continue educational efforts for the campus community to learn the history of the Haudenosaunee People."

Dr. Leonel Diaz, associate director of the Multicultural Center at SUNY Delhi, says the land acknowledgment plaque is part of a movement to empower and celebrate Indigenous members on college campuses.

"As an institution, SUNY Delhi continues our efforts to make our campus more inclusive and support every individual," says Dr. Diaz. "When the community sees the flag and the plaque on campus, it's an educational moment that helps us understand the history of our country and the original inhabitants that still exist. To show they are recognized and not forgotten goes a long way."

With a diverse student population, SUNY Delhi is committed to fostering an environment that is inclusive of all within the campus community.

Beyond Finance Kicks Off New Campaign, Gives One Client $56,000 Present for the Holidays

DECEMBER 19, 2022 – This week, Beyond Finance, one of the nation’s leading debt resolution companies, kicked off a new initiative called Beyond Debt Now. And in the process, it will pay off one client’s debt totaling $56,000.

Beginning in 2023, the company will identify two clients each year to participate in an accelerated payoff. Beyond Finance will cover their existing debt enrolled in the debt resolution program, resulting in immediate debt relief.

The first Beyond Debt Now recipient is Linda Buerkley of Hudson Falls, New York.

Buerkley, 80, is a mother of two and grandmother of six. After falling victim to a targeted scam, which left her with $56,000 of unsecured debt, she turned to Beyond Finance when the collection calls became overwhelming.

“I hoped to receive help during this difficult time, so I enrolled with Beyond Finance. I trusted they would do what they said they would do. They did more than I ever expected.” said Buerkley. “Not only did they negotiate my debt in half of what I owed, but they also provided free access to group counseling about my finances and how to [better] manage them once I was out of debt.”

Buerkley is just one of the thousands of elderly Americans nationwide scammed out of their savings each year.

“Unfortunately, Linda’s story is not unlike many other Americans who live on a fixed income. As we have seen many times in our debt settlement programs, that struggle often takes a toll beyond someone’s finances to their mental health and relationships,” said Beyond Finance Chief Operating Officer Lou Antonelli.

Beyond Finance will not only take on the rest of Linda’s unsecured debt just in time for the holidays but will continue to offer free group counseling sessions with other clients.

“Linda’s story illustrates why we offer and encourage all our clients to take part in our financial therapy sessions,” continued Antonelli. “Debt and financial stress harm more than someone’s bank account; their mental health is at risk. Linda is an active member of our financial stress sessions, so it’s fitting that she is the one to kick off our journey with Beyond Debt Now.”

Every client working with Beyond Finance for creditor negotiations and debt resolution is automatically enrolled as soon as the first registered account is settled for payment. Consideration is based on an anonymized background survey and participation in all debt resolution programs (e.g., financial management, monthly payments, group counseling sessions).

“I have no fitting words to explain how grateful I am other than to say, ‘Thank you,’” Buerkley said. “With this gift and the financial therapy, I know I’ll never be in this situation again. I’m forever grateful for Beyond Finance.”

About Beyond Finance, LLC

Beyond Finance, LLC, based in Houston, is one of the largest, most successful, and influential debt resolution organizations. By standing alongside clients wherever they are in their debt journey, Beyond Finance uses personalized debt resolution programs and proprietary technology to give them the clarity, confidence, and tools they need to move beyond debt. Since 2017, they have resolved more than $1 billion in client debt. In June 2020, it merged with an affiliate to become the dedicated company it is today. They have additional offices in Chicago, Illinois, San Diego, and Irvine, California. For more information, visit BeyondFinance.com.

What You Need to Know About Required Minimum Distributions

By Michael Lanuto

By the time you retire, IRAs and other retirement accounts may represent some of your largest assets. If this is the case, you’ve likely enjoyed the benefit of tax-deferred growth of earnings on those accounts for many years. But at some point, Uncle Sam will want you to start taking distributions from those assets (and pay the appropriate tax due on them). This explains the existence of Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) rules.

At a certain stage in life, the tax code requires that you begin withdrawing at least a minimum amount from your IRA on an annual basis. This is true regardless of whether you need to take money out of these accounts to meet your cash flow needs in retirement.

Here are answers to some of the most important questions you may have about RMDs and how they apply to your circumstances.

Q: At what age do RMDs first apply?

A: The year you turn 72 is considered your beginning date. You have until April 1 of the year after you reach age 72 to take your first required distribution.

Q: After that first year, what is my deadline to take an RMD?

A: In every subsequent year, RMDs must be received by December 31. Note that if you wait to take the initial RMD until the year after the year in which you turn 72, you will have to take two distributions in the same year, exposing you to potentially greater tax liability.

Q: What accounts are subject to RMDs?

A: Traditional IRAs, SEP IRAs and SIMPLE IRAs. Also, RMDs apply to workplace plans such as 401(k)s, 403(b)s, 457(b)s, profit sharing plans and other defined contribution plans. RMDs can be delayed from workplace retirement plans until April 1 of the calendar year in which you retire if you remain employed with the plan sponsor past age 72.

Q: Are Roth accounts subject to RMDs?

A: One of the great advantages of Roth IRAs is that RMDs do not apply, so your money can continue to grow on a potentially tax-free basis indefinitely. However, RMDs do apply to Roth 401(k)s.

Q: How are RMDs calculated?

A: To make the calculation, you first must know the value of the account at the end of the previous calendar year. Then, using tables provided by the IRS, the minimum distribution is calculated. For most 72-year-olds with a $200,000 balance on Dec. 31 of the previous year, that amount would be divided by 27.4 years, resulting in a required distribution of $7,299 for the first year. The distribution period declines throughout your life. In certain situations, a different IRS table is used to make the calculation.

Q: Do distributions have to come out of all affected retirement accounts?

A: Yes. Once you reach age 72, RMDs must be withdrawn from each account subject to the rule. Therefore, it may simplify the process to consolidate your retirement accounts. This includes rolling workplace retirement plans into IRAs. Talk to your financial and tax professional to discuss the pros and cons of consolidation.

Q: What is the penalty if I fail to take RMDs on a timely basis?

A: If you fail to take an RMD in a given year or withdraw an insufficient amount, a penalty equal 50% of the value of the amount you failed to withdraw as required will be applied.

Q: What if I don’t have a need for the money I’m required to withdraw?

A: One option is to utilize a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). This allows money to be distributed directly to a charity. Such a distribution can be applied toward your RMD in a given year. There is a $100,000.000 annual cap on the QCD.

This information is designed to help you understand some of the basic rules about RMDs. However, it’s important that you meet with your financial advisor to talk about RMDs in the context of your overall retirement income strategy, and your tax advisor to make sure you are complying with tax rules.

ASF’s Winter Season Set To Begin December 17

Written By Editor on 12/14/22 | 12/14/22

WINDHAM – The Adaptive Sports Foundation (ASF) is gearing up for another winter season of providing ski and snowboard lessons to children and adults with both cognitive and physical disabilities and chronic illnesses. The organization’s first lesson date will be Saturday, December 17.

“We are all really excited for the start of what should be a great winter season,” Executive Director John Iannelli said. “Our team is ready and our lodge is open for our students and volunteers, something everyone missed dearly the last two winters. With cold temperatures and snow in the recent forecast, Windham should have a variety of trails for our students to enjoy.”

The season was initially supposed to begin last weekend on December 10, however due to a lack of snow, the ASF deemed that the available terrain at the time was not appropriate for the ASF students’ first time on snow this season. Now that Windham was gifted plenty of snow from Mother Nature this week, the organization looks forward to getting back to teaching adaptive ski and snowboard lessons.

From the middle of December to the middle of March, the ASF hosts adaptive ski and snowboard lessons every weekend, while weekday lessons are available beginning in the final week of December. A student can be signed up for a half-day lesson, choosing between the morning or afternoon session, or a full-day lesson. Lesson availability is based on the availability of the organization’s volunteer instructors.

As well as daily lessons, the ASF offers competition racing and recreational racing programs for those adaptive athletes who are more experienced on the slopes. The Adaptive Sports Foundation’s Competition Racing Program provides coaching, mentoring, technique development and tactics training for athletes with physical disabilities (Paralympic eligible) and intellectual disabilities (Special Olympics). Through hard work and guided coaching, the ASF Race Team athletes earn the opportunity to participate in local, regional and national competitions. The ASF also has its Recreational Race Program that promotes competition, but to a lesser extent than the Competition Racing Program.

The ASF’s Sliders program provides a season-long program for skiers and snowboarders whose aspirations are more recreational and social in nature. The Sliders learn how physical activity, good nutritional habits, and a positive outlook impacts their health through a coordinated student-first coaching philosophy shared by the instructors.

Since 1984, the ASF has been providing sports and recreation opportunities to thousands in the disabled community. The wintertime is special for the ASF, as the foundation started as an adaptive ski school nearly 40 years ago, working out of a room in Windham Mountain’s main lodge. Since then, it has grown into what it is today, an organization that provides year-round services out of its own slope-side lodge, the Gwen Allard Adaptive Sports Center. All this has been done over the years thanks to many donors and an impressive legion of volunteers, who can be seen in their iconic green jackets sliding down the snow-white slopes.

This will be the first season since early 2020 that the ASF lodge will be open for its many participants and volunteers. This includes the ASF’s lunch program, which was suspended the last two seasons and is very popular among the participants.

The Adaptive Sports Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides profound and life changing experiences for children and adults with physical disabilities, cognitive disabilities and chronic illnesses through outdoor physical activity, education, support and community. If you’d like to learn more about the ASF, or if you'd like to help support the ASF’s mission of “empowering lives through adaptive sports”, visit www.adaptivesportsfoundation.org.

“First and foremost, this is great news for patients with this cancer,” says Dr. Timothy Korytko, Bassett Medical Center’s chief of radiation oncology. “Until now, there’s only been one basic treatment for low-grade neuroendocrine cancer. If a patient’s case was unresponsive or had already spread, there was little to do. Lutathera is a powerful, effective new option.”

Bassett is offering this potentially life-saving treatment to patients throughout the region. Previously, patients seeking the Lutathera treatment were required to travel to Albany, Rochester, Buffalo, or New York City.

“Lutathera marks the start of a new paradigm in treatment,” says Dr. Korytko. Radiopharmaceutical treatments are prescription medications developed from radioactive materials. For decades this was limited to treating thyroid cancer. Lutathera is part of a growing family of drugs designed to operate on the same principle.

“Science has advanced so that we can now attach molecules to each other,” explains Dr. Korytko. “We can now create radioactive materials that target specific kinds of cells. Lutathera is the first, but there have been positive clinical trials for prostate cancer and there will be more new drugs for other cancers in the future.”

Bassett made accommodations in their facilities to receive approval to administer Lutathera in New York State, putting it on firm footing for future treatment developments. “As other treatments in this class become available, we’ve already developed a process and a space to administer them,” says Dr. Korytko. “This could be the beginning of a bright future.”
