Gillibrand pushes for USDA disaster declaration for freeze-affected Upstate farms

U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D–N.Y.) is calling on the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to issue an agriculture-disaster declaration with upstate New York in mind.
Such a declaration would mean federal relief for Upstate grape farms and vineyards in the Finger Lakes and Western and Central New York “damaged by a long winter of sub-zero temperatures,” Gillibrand’s office said in a news release.
Some Upstate farms are anticipating “significant” crop losses following extended periods of record-low winter temperatures ranging from 7-degrees below to 18-degree below zero, according to Gillibrand’s office.
The Democrat’s office also cites information from Cornell Cooperative Extension that some Finger Lakes vineyards have lost 90 percent of their buds.
Gillibrand in a letter to U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack requested the disaster declaration to expedite federal assistance for damaged farmland.
The Democrat is calling on Secretary Vilsack to “swiftly” grant a disaster designation for affected counties, including Cayuga, Oswego, and additional counties as farms determine crop losses.
When New York’s farmers struggle, the state’s entire economy struggles, Gillibrand said in the news release.
“This long and bitter cold winter has been extremely harmful to grape growers and vineyards. Losing out on these crops will set them behind all season, and hurt local businesses and jobs at a time we just can’t afford any more setbacks. We need these federal resources on the ground without delay so we can help our farms recover, and grow our economy,” Gillibrand said.
The federal assistance can help provide farmers with prompt access to the financial and technical assistance they need to recover, including assistance through the Emergency Loan Program, the Supplemental Revenue Assistance (SURE) program, the Emergency Conservation Program, and the Emergency Watershed Protection Program, Gillibrand’s office said.
The programs can help farmers overcome the challenges they will face in the coming weeks and months as they work to recover from production and physical losses on their farms, the Senator contends. They will also help farmers rebuild their businesses with financial assistance to replace damaged vines, low interest emergency loans, and assistance in rehabilitating farmland.
New York’s vineyards generate an estimated $4.8 billion toward the state’s economy. Jobs in New York’s wine and grape industry grew by 20 percent in the last decade, according to the news release.

SYRACUSE — The Jim and Juli Boeheim Foundation has awarded the Foundation for Upstate Medical University a grant of $100,000 for pediatric-cancer research.
Upstate Medical announced the grant in a news release on its website. Its foundation is its fund-raising arm.
Established in 2009 by the Syracuse University men’s basketball head coach and his wife, the Jim and Juli Boeheim Foundation works to help Central New York children in need and to provide support for eliminating cancer through research and advocacy.
Researchers will use the funding to study potential new treatments for children with cancer, the fourth leading cause of death in children, Upstate Medical said in the news release.
“The Boeheim Foundation is pleased to support such vital research that holds the hope of better treatment for children with cancer,” Juli Boeheim said in the release. “To be able to support this research right here in our own backyard, at Upstate Medical University, makes this grant that much more meaningful.”
The Boeheim Foundation made the contribution to support two studies.
One will investigate new treatment options for children with osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma, two bone cancers that occur mainly in adolescents, according to Upstate Medical.
The other study will look at ways to reduce the adverse effects of radiation treatments for childhood cancer on bone growth and development.
The medical school is “grateful” for the support, Dr. Timothy Damron, a member of the Upstate faculty who will lead the research efforts, said in the news release.
“This support provides us with the opportunity to begin looking at new treatments for curing cancer in children, and ensuring that these treatments enable them to live long healthy lives,” Damron said.
Osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma are two common bone cancers that can strike any age, but they are mainly seen in adolescents.
To try and increase the survival rate of those battling these cancers, researchers will attempt to find a way to block cellular signals so tumor cells cannot influence nearby bone-marrow cells into spreading the cancer, rather than fighting it.
Damron, professor of orthopedic surgery, cell and developmental biology and neuroscience and physiology, and Bryan Marguiles, assistant professor of orthopedic surgery and cell and developmental biology, are leading the research team, Upstate Medical said.
In the other study, researchers will address the radiation effects on a child’s bones. Megan Oest, assistant professor of orthopedic surgery and cell and developmental biology, will lead that study, the medical school said.

Rombel on Business: February U.S. jobs report shows signs of improvement

Friday’s monthly nonfarm payrolls report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) provided fresh evidence of a bounce back in the U.S. labor market from recent weakness that may have been weather-related.
This is despite the unemployment rate’s rise to 6.7 percent in February from 6.6 percent in January.
For the record, employers added 175,000 people to payrolls nationally in February, the most in three months. The increase beat economists’ average expectation of about 150,000 jobs. It also marked a substantial ramping up of job growth from January and December when 129,000 jobs and 84,000 jobs were added, respectively.
Private-sector employers added 162,000 jobs last month, up from 142,000 in January, again beating forecasts.
The new payrolls report also showed income growth with average hourly earnings rising 9 cents, or 0.4 percent, to $24.31 an hour in February. That compares to a 0.2 percent earnings increase in January.
Another potentially hopeful sign was that the BLS data showed 264,000 people joined the civilian labor force last month, which means more people were looking for work. That could be an indication the economy is improving and individuals feel more confident to begin seeking a job again. The rise in the labor force was the primary reason why the unemployment rate ticked up a bit in February despite the job gains.
With more people joining the job market, the work-force participation rate stabilized at 63 percent in February, unchanged from January, but up from 62.8 percent in December.
A declining labor-force participation rate to 35-year lows has been a chronic feature of the U.S. job market the last several years and a major reason for the decline of the unemployment rate since it peaked at 10 percent.
“I conclude that the decline of the unemployment rate significantly overstates the degree of improvement in the labor market,” William C. Dudley, president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, said in the transcript of a speech he delivered Friday at Brooklyn College.

ELMIRA — The Elmira Savings Bank (NASDAQ: ESBK) board of directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of 23 cents per share on its common shares outstanding.
The company will pay the dividend on March 28 to shareholders of record March 13. It’s the same cash-dividend amount the banking company paid in December. However, Elmira Savings also paid a 10 percent stock dividend at that time.
