***Today’s Topics***
Erin Hamlin - LIVE From Lake Placid
- Erin is joining us from Lake Placid as her training sessions has begun. With her new "Quad" beginning they're moving to the next step and new goals.
- In the preseason ice race in Norway she won! Even though it doesn't count, it was good to be off to a great start.
- One of the goals on her radar is the World Cup here in America and getting to stand on the podium. Also, a lot can happen in 4 years, but Olympics are definitely on the radar as well.
- She talks about how happy she is to be having this experience and to have fun while doing it. Her one expectation is to just have fun and do her best.
- She comments on how it feels to be an influence to other younger girls like she was.
- She is happy about the amount of people who have now followed the sport of luge.
6:20-6:30:
- Imagine being so obsessed with a man that she was stalking him and was found in the chimney of his home. She spent a few hours calling for help before anyone heard her.
- Apparently they have dated a few times and went on a couple dates, but then it didn't work out and she seemed totally cool, but then she tried to access the roof twice.

6:50-7:00:
- We talk about the Presidential connection with the Adirondacks. When McKinley was shot and killed, Teddy Roosevelt was up near Blue Mountain Lake. He took a train from up there to D.C. to be sworn in and Andrew knew all about it.
7:10-7:20:
- We talk about the Weight Loss Challenge and other things you can win. We give an update.

Anthony Brindisi - CTE Diploma
- Assemblyman Brindisi is on today to talk about his victory with the Board of Regents. This would allow high school students to graduate with this Career and Technical Education Degree.
- This will be good for kids who maybe have more interest in trades than a lot of book stuff. These students can learn these courses to have the opportunity to get jobs in the Nano Sciences to keep kids here at NANO Utica.
- Teachers and Guidance Counselors should be encouraging this as leading to good well paying jobs.
Howie Hawkins - Green Party Candidate for Governor
- Howie is running against Cuomo in the Governor's race on the Green Party line.
