The Boilermaker is one of my favorite days of the year, and this year was no different.

From the training runs to the excitement leading up to the race to the community pride displayed and to the race itself, the Boilermaker brings out the best of us. It’s one of those events that makes the Mohawk Valley a special place.

This year was the 11th time I ran the 15k, and I’m already itching to run in the 50th Boilermaker next year.

Congratulations to all the runners and thank you to all those who work tirelessly to put on such an amazing event!

At last night’s meeting, the Whitestown Town Board presented Vince Coyne with a proclamation in recognition of his outstanding service on the Mohawk Valley Water Authority (MVWA) Governance Board.

Vince proudly and effectively represented the Town of Whitestown and the greater Mohawk Valley region on the MVWA Board – a volunteer position – for 29 years before retiring at the end of last year. Prior to his time on the MVWA Board, Vince served on the Citizens’ Task Force on Regionalization, which explored opportunities for consolidation and shared services. The task force ultimately recommended, among other ideas, the purchase of the Utica water system by a regional water authority consisting of appointed representatives from the City of Utica and surrounding towns and villages. The regional water authority became the MVWA.

Vince knows the importance of partnerships, and we are all better off because of his strong leadership and forward thinking.

Thank you, Vince, for all that you have done to better our community, county and region!

I was honored to attend the 75th Anniversary Gala for the Utica Chapter of the White Eagle Association at the Utica Polish Community Club on Saturday night. I was also honored to present a proclamation marking the milestone on behalf of Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente.

Founded in 1950, the White Eagle Association proudly promotes the Polish culture within our local community, and its meetings are still conducted in Polish. My grandparents once served as officers for the Association, and its mission will always be important to me.

Gratulacje (congratulations) on 75 years!

I was pleased to work with and help the Village of Oriskany secure $125,000 from Assemblywoman Marianne Buttenschon for a new and improved playground at Trinkaus Park. After much anticipation, the playground opened over the weekend.

I also appreciated the opportunity to participate in the dedication of a “Liberty Tree” at Trinkaus Park. The tree was dedicated in honor of the 250th Anniversary of the United States and all the Patriots who bravely fought for American independence. Thank you to the Oneida County Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) and the Oriskany Museum and Historical Society for organizing.
