Students Prepare for Not-too-Heavy Careers at BOCES

Lydia Waage

ALBANY/SCHOHARIE – They may not be able to legally drive a car, but that doesn’t stop area teenagers from shifting their learning into high gear by operating backhoes, dump trucks and graders.

High school juniors and seniors enrolled in the Capital Region BOCES Heavy Equipment Repair and Operation program learn how to operate and maintain large construction-related equipment, such as backhoes, dozers, front end loaders and excavators. Students also learn how to diagnose and repair common issues with diesel engines and heavy machines.

“By going to BOCES, I have been able to learn a lot of things and gain a lot of experiences with heavy equipment that I wouldn’t have otherwise,” said Devohn Boehkle, a senior who attends the program from Berne-Knox-Westerlo. 

The program was expanded from the Schoharie Campus to the Albany area and is also offered now at the Career and Technical Education (CTE) Extension Center.

Students completing the program are prepared for careers in construction, as well as operating and repairing heavy equipment.

“I plan to get a job in the industry when I graduate. I like that I can get into a trade and have a good paying career after I complete high school,” said Brody Adair, a Schalmont student enrolled in the program.

Through the program, the approximately 70 students learning the trade work with businesses and labor unions and prepare for careers in the industry.

In recent years, students have joined local unions and been hired by businesses ranging from Callanan Industries and Carver to MLB Construction Services and Murnane Building Contractors Inc.

Class of 2024 graduate Samantha Herzog joined the Laborers’ Local 157 and was hired by Murnane Building Contractors Inc.

“From the moment I climbed into a Bobcat at 6 years old, I knew I had found something special. That excitement turned into a passion—and thanks to the HERO program, it’s become a career,” she said.  

Cobleskill senior Tyler Regan aspires to a similar career path and in the meantime is enjoying his education at BOCES.

“I like being able to come here, run equipment, learn new things and have fun,” he said.

Around the Neighborhood - Summit

 1940's-50 Charlotteville Hotel- Charlotte Valley & Baptist Church Rd

 

 

Do you have everything all set for winters arrival; hose put away, lawn mower stored, screens off and garden trimmed up. Most of the leaves are off the trees and blown into the woods.

Finally got the wood stove going which feels real nice but it has to be fed, of course.

Took down the Halloween decorations to be replaced by the few Thanksgiving decorations.

I was voter # 127 of 316 voters on election day. There are 871 total registered voters in Summit and 21,492 in Schoharie County.

In January we will have new members of our town government: supervisor Roger Gural, council members Mark Hearon and David Knight and town clerk Katie Mohr. Continuing as council members, that were not up for election, are Georgia VanValkenburgh and David Kearney.

It was almost fun to buy gas in Worcester for only $2.93 per gallon.

So sad to find out that Fern M. Kovac, age 85, of Bear Gulch Road died at home on Halloween. She was born in Glen Cove, NY to Dwight L. and Lillian “Lollie” M. (Fearns) Seaton and lived in Summit since 1953. She was a town councilperson.

Cobleskill’s Fire Prevention Program $1,500 Stronger

By Joshua Walther

COBLESKILL - On Monday evening, the Cobleskill Town Board heard a brief overview from the Cobleskill Fire Department on how their latest donation has made an impact on getting the community informed about fire safety.

Fire Prevention Officer Heather Henn took to the podium, saying “I’m here to thank the Town Board for their $1500 contribution to our fire prevention program. This allows us to work toward our goal of no child fatalities in any structure fire.”

Elaborating further, she said that the fire department has been able to educate five hundred eighty children across CRCS’s Pre-K through second grade, the SUNY Cobleskill campus childhood care center, the county’s Head Start program, and the Whispering Pines pre-school.

She noted that during their fire safety education, children were able to meet and talk with firefighters to let them know that they’re present during an emergency to help, how to recognize sirens as safe places to run toward, what’s safe to touch during a fire and what’s not, and how to call 911 during a crisis.

But the education didn’t end with those lessons, as Mrs. Henn reported that those children were able to bring homework back to their parents to practice stop drop and roll techniques, make a two-exit escape plan at home, and to make sure their smoke detectors were up to date.

Past teaching the younger generation about fire prevention and safety, the fire department has also released information to some residents as well as the public library, and SUNY Cobleskill students received extinguisher training before their classes began. 

Once her overview came to a close, Supervisor Werner Hampel thanked the fire department, saying “It’s a pleasure to have you present, and that’s money very well spent. Unfortunately, there are fires. But fortunately, people are taking heed through your training.”

In other news, Middleburgh resident Steve Hendrickson stood before the Board to act as a liaison for twenty seven residents on Shad Point Road that are concerned about the proposed development there.

The development in question, which seeks to add seventy six housing units and four storage units, has raised concerns among the residents, but they hope to work with the Board instead of fighting them. 

“We’re not here to pick a fight or make any demands,” Mr. Hendrickson said. “We’re just asking for a bit of fluency between this Board, the Planning Board, Zoning Board of Appeals, and us.”

Several residents were in attendance with Mr. Hendrickson, with one explaining “We ask that some of our concerns are looked at. We’re just here to work together to achieve a good project in the end.”

The Board seemingly understood their request, with Supervisor Hampel replying “Please stop in again. We appreciate you coming in and thank you all.”

Finally, the Board held a short public hearing for their upcoming budget, but with no comments from the audience and no further discussion between members, they passed a motion to adopt the budget without issue.

Fighting Tigers Season Concludes in NAC Semifinals Loss to Maine Maritime

CASTINE, MAINE – The SUNY Cobleskill women’s volleyball team saw its postseason run come to an end on Sunday afternoon, falling to top-seeded Maine Maritime Academy in straight sets (9-25, 11-25, 8-25) in the North Atlantic Conference (NAC) Semifinals.

Junior outside hitter Emma Hinze (Altenburg, Mo.) led the way for the Fighting Tigers with a team-high five kills and three digs. Kathleen Smart (Nashville, Tenn.) and Audrey Davis (Hudson Falls, NY) each added three kills, while Smart chipped in two digs. The setting duo of Baylee Kirschberg (Lindenhurst, NY) and Jade Ward (Miami, Fla.) combined for 15 assists, with Kirschberg tallying seven and Ward eight. Hallie Gasner (Middleburgh, NY) provided a spark from the service line, notching two aces.

Maine Maritime controlled the tempo for much of the match, using strong serving and efficient hitting to stay in command. The Tigers totaled 16 kills on the afternoon, while the Mariners finished with 46. Maine also held advantages in aces (12-2), assists (43-13), and digs (30-16).

Cobleskill opened the first set with early energy, trading points to trail just 4-3 after kills from Hinze and Ciarra Jager (Stephentown, NY), but the Mariners responded with an 8-1 run to seize momentum and take the opener, 25-9.

In the second set, the Tigers grabbed the first point after a Smart kill off a Ward assist, but Maine Maritime quickly countered with a 14-1 stretch to take control. Cobleskill showed resilience with a pair of 3-0 mini runs - highlighted by kills from Hinze, Kirschberg, and Davis - but the Mariners closed out the frame, 25-11.

The hosts carried their momentum into the third set, jumping out to an 8-0 lead before a Kirschberg kill put the Tigers on the board. Gasner provided back-to-back aces to keep the offense fighting, but Maine Maritime continued to roll and secured the set, 25-8, to advance to the NAC Finals.

With the loss, the Fighting Tigers close out their 2025 season after another strong campaign that saw them reach the NAC Semifinals for the second consecutive year.

SUNY Cobleskill Falls Short in Season Opener Against Hartwick, 82-78

COBLESKILL – The SUNY Cobleskill men’s basketball team opened the 2025-26 season with a hard-fought 82-78 loss to the Hawks of Hartwick College on Saturday night inside Iorio Gymnasium.

Second-year guard Marquay Tanksley (Cohoes, NY) led the way for the Fighting Tigers with a team-high 18 points on 8-for-15 shooting, adding five rebounds, three assists, and a steal. Senior guard Chrischen Chung (Poughkeepsie, NY) filled the stat sheet with 16 points, three rebounds, two assists, and two steals while knocking down a team-best three three-pointers. Newcomer Spencer Daby (Au Sable Forks, NY) made an immediate impact in his Cobleskill debut with 13 points, six rebounds, and two steals, while big man Andrew Wright (Berne, NY) anchored the paint with 13 points and nine boards on 4-of-7 shooting.

The Tigers shot 34.2 percent from the field compared to Hartwick’s 46.8 percent, with both sides struggling from deep - Cobleskill hitting 31.6 percent to Hartwick’s 33.3 percent. The Tigers capitalized at the free-throw line, going 85.7 percent to the Hawks’ 68.2 percent, and dominated the glass with a 50-42 rebounding edge, including 24 offensive boards that led to 27 second-chance points. Hartwick’s bench, however, proved to be the difference, outscoring Cobleskill’s reserves 31-16.

Cobleskill got off to a strong start, jumping out to a 13-6 lead after a midrange jumper by Daby. Tanksley brought the crowd to its feet with a fastbreak slam that made it 15-9, and the Tigers continued to push the pace, extending their lead to 20-10 following a pair of free throws from Fermin Fabian (Schenectady, NY). Midway through the half, Cobleskill held its largest advantage of the game at 29-16 after Wright sank two from the line.

The Tigers maintained control deep into the first half, with Fabian finishing a fastbreak layup to keep them ahead 38-27 with under three minutes remaining. But Hartwick closed the half on a 12-3 run, trimming the deficit to 41-39 heading into the locker room.

The Hawks carried that momentum into the second half, taking their first lead just 13 seconds in on a three-pointer from Barnwell. After trading baskets early, the game was tied at 46 before Hartwick went on a 12-2 run to take a 58-48 lead with 14 minutes to play. Cobleskill battled back behind Chung and Tanksley, tying the score at 60-all after a smooth midrange jumper from Chung with eight minutes left.

A pair of free throws from Chung gave the Tigers a 67-65 edge at the 5:30 mark, but Hartwick answered with a quick three on the following possession and would not trail again. Cobleskill made a final push in the closing minute, cutting the deficit to 80-78 after another basket from Tanksley with 18 seconds remaining. Forced to foul, the Tigers couldn’t complete the comeback as Hartwick iced the game from the free-throw line to secure the 82-78 win.

Tague Endorses Stefanik

Assemblyman Chris Tague represents the 102nd Assembly District, which includes Greene and Schoharie counties, and parts of Albany, Delaware, Otsego, and Ulster counties.

SCHOHARIE — State Assemblyman Chris Tague (R,C–Schoharie) proudly announced his endorsement of Congresswoman Elise Stefanik for Governor of New York, saying it’s time to bring what he describes as strength, sanity, and common sense back to Albany.

“Elise Stefanik has been a fighter from day one,” said Tague. “She doesn’t back down from the radical left, she stands up for our police, she defends parents, and she’s never afraid to say what hardworking New Yorkers are thinking. Elise has the grit, the guts, and the know-how to turn this state around and I’m all in.”

Tague blasted the direction New York has taken under one-party control, pointing to rising crime, crushing taxes, and an exodus of families and businesses. “Albany’s become a circus run by extremists who care more about criminals and handouts than the people who get up every morning and go to work,” Tague said. “Elise Stefanik represents the opposite, she represents the New York-proud values that built this state.”

Calling the 2026 election a defining moment, Tague said Stefanik’s leadership would restore balance, accountability, and hope. “This race isn’t just about politics, it’s about survival for upstate and rural New York. Elise understands us. She’s lived it. And she’ll fight like hell for us every single day.”

“I’m proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with Elise Stefanik,” Tague concluded. “Together, we’re going to send a message loud and clear: New York belongs to the people again, not the politicians, not the bureaucrats, and definitely not the radicals running the show right now.”
