WNYT/WNYA 1st Quarter 2017 Projects Report WNYT/WNYA reaches out to the community to highlight our community's young people in several areas. The projects that do so involve highlighting student volunteers called "13 Kids Who Care", high school athletes along with high school scholar athletes. Each of these programs are underwritten. These segments aired each week of 1st quarter except the holiday week in February. Noted below are the students that we highlighted: WNYT/WNYA 1st Quarter 2017 Projects Report 13 Kids Who Care Brigid Mack- WNYT- March 6, 2017- 6pm- WNYA- March 6, 2017-10pm Brigid Mack is only 13 years old but she has worked hard to make the world a better place, especially when it comes to people with autism. Kelsey Kittleson- WNYT- March 13, 2017- 6pm- WNYA- March 13, 2017- 10pm We've seen 13 Kids Who Care who donate their time at hospitals but tonight is different, because along with donating her time there, she is also a patient. Kelsey Kittleson is battling a terrible disease, but she's not letting that stop her from doing what she's always done, give with all her heart. Jahmale Dickson- WNYT- March 20, 2017- 6pm- WNYA- March 20, 2017- 10pm Jahmale has had a burning desire to be a police officer since 2014. Following his dream, he joined the Police Explorers in Albany three years ago. Mat Adler- WNYT- March 27, 2017- 6pm- WNYA- March 27, 2017- 10pm Lots of children take piano lessons, but today's 13 Kid Who Cares is a little different. That's because he's not the one taking the lessons, he's giving them. Bob Kovachick is here to introduce us to Mat Adler. Bob Kovachick got to see Mat in action and the way he interacts, you know he's making a difference. Athlete of the Week Christian Nash- WNYT- January 3, 2017- 6pm- January 8, 2017- 8pm- The indoor track season is approaching a prestigious weekend and our Fidelis Care Athlete of the Week will be a part of it, in at least a couple events. Christian Nash may have been a little late getting into the running game but his name is now well-known across the section. Nash says it's the rarely recognized team aspect of track that not only drew him to the sport but has him competing at a level high enough to qualify him for the Dartmouth relays this weekend. Nash runs year round at Averill Park. He's a part of two relay teams in the winter as well as running the 55 and 300 meters but Nash is already targeting a time in the spring- the school record for the 400. As an Eagle Scout, Nash is working with Common Farms and the Rensselaer Land Trust to clean up a trail. He's a 95 student in the classroom and plans to enter a forensics program in college next fall. When it comes to running, Nash finds his pre-race motivation in music but not just any song. Kyle Fairclough- WNYT- January 10, 2017- 6pm- January 15, 2017- 11pm Our Fidelis Care Athlete of the Week recently surpassed a personal milestone on the basketball court but it's a daily struggle that really makes Kyle Fairclough stand out. Now a senior at Waterford-Halfmoon High School, Fairclough says his experiences dealing with the life-threatening nature of his peanut allergy is what has him interested in attending the Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Services. He plans to study to become a physician's assistant and his interest in the field was piqued early on in high school. He went from a starter hoop to his fourth year on varsity and now a thousand point scorer. Whether the challenge has been in his personal life, on the basketball court or in the community- Fairclough is always up to it. Through coaches vs. cancer, he and his teammates have helped raise more than 40-thousand dollars for breast cancer research. Lizzy Congiusta- WNYT- January 17, 2017- 6pm -January 22, 2017- 11pm A new camera for Christmas spawned the creation of a photography club by Lizzy Congiusta at Shaker High School and from that many opportunities have developed but for a much bigger picture of our Fidelis Care Athlete of the Week. Congiusta's dad and his dad both played hockey and still do. She was born into the sport and it's a game she wants to continue playing in college. Over the summer Congiusta called Scott Rock, the head coach of the boys varsity Shaker-Colonie team. In addition to playing with the Troy-Albany Ice Cats, Congiusta is also a center with Shaker-Colonie. She says she was intimidated by the size and the speed of the boys game and if that weren't enough to potentially discourage her, a spinal condition would be another hurdle to clear. Congiusta suffers from spondylolisthesis. An aspiring doctor, she says it's simply a pain management issue with what is a slipped disc. In her senior year, she is interning with a neurologist and plans to double major in biology and psychology. Nick Wilsey- WNYT- January 24, 2017- 6pm- January 29, 2017- 11pm Nick Wilsey may strike you as a rare 3-sport athlete. From the crashing of bowling pins to the grunt work of shot put to the gracefulness of golf. Wilsey is also an avid hunter and a recent personal milestone is part of what make him our Fidelis Care Athlete of the Week. Wilsey has come a long way in bowling. From his first experience at 8-years-old to now- a senior at Middleburgh Central School- with a perfect game. A personal milestone he remembers like yesterday. Wilsey will attend SUNY Delhi's electric and construction program but there's only one problem- there isn't a bowling alley at Delhi. He's Googled the closest bowling alley to Delhi and it's a very manageable half an hour drive. More importantly- of course- the National Honor Society student will be learning a trade he's already quite familiar with thanks to his dad's business- Aaron's Electric. Wilsey also plays golf and throws shot put and discus for the Knights. He's a member of the Middleburgh Rod and Gun Club as well as the Hudson Mohawk Gas Engine Pioneer Club. Maybe there's an answer for why Wilsey is so dedicated in everything he does- it's genetic. Jake Bundy- WNYT- January 31, 2017- 6pm- February 5, 2017- 11pm Our Fidelis Care Athlete of the Week has battled through knee pain and somehow continued to play hockey at a high level. Jake Bundy is a 3-sport athlete at CBA who also finds time to give back to the community. There have been moments in Bundy's life where he's wondered how much pain he can take and how much longer he would be able to play hockey. In 8th grade and as Bundy worked through the growing pains of Osgood-Schlatter Disease. He would hyperextend his right knee freshman year. Now, as a senior at CBA Bundy is still on the ice but this season he's playing a different position for the first time- making the move from forward to defenseman. He will be the first to tell you he prefers to lead by example and that goes beyond hockey or his other two sports- golf and tennis. Bundy is a platoon leader with JROTC and he volunteers in the little bit of free time he has, recently helping at Bethseda House in Schenectady. Kayleigh Urdang- WNYT- February 7, 2017- 6pm- February 13, 2017- 11pm Personal tragedy struck the Stillwater bowling team this season and from it, Kayleigh Urdang and her teammates have grown closer and more determined. As a leader of the classroom, community and on the lanes, Urdang fits the bill as our Fidelis Care Athlete of the Week. The news of longtime Coach John Villa's cancer diagnosis stunned the Stillwater bowling team but it hit Urdang especially hard. Coach Villa was the biggest influence in her bowling success and since his death a week and a half ago, Urdang and her teammates have found a heightened sense of motivation. Through bowling, Urdang's confidence has grown tremendously. She has a 98 average in the classroom and has a strong presence of support at the Arvin Hart Fire Company with her father. She hopes to bowl next year in college and she's planning to study marine biology, an interest developed at a young age with her grandfather. Kevin Mainello- WNYT- February 21, 2017- 6pm- February 26, 2017- 11pm 2001. That's the last time LaSalle won a sectional championship in hockey but the Cadets have as good a shot as any this season and a big reason for that is the scoring, toughness and leadership of our Fidelis Care Athlete of the Week. Despite a broken finger Kevin Mainello had to keep going and he said it didn't take all that much negotiating with the teams trainer. LaSalle is experiencing as much success this season as it has in more than a decade. A big reason for that is Mainello's line, along with Logan Discanio and Ryan Murray. Mainello has been playing hockey since he was 3-years-old and he also plays golf and lacrosse at LaSalle. In the classroom the senior carries a 96 average while taking both AP statistics and physics. Ideally for Mainello that would mean a job with his favorite team- the New York Rangers. Before any of that, Mainello has found a smile to the faces of residents at the Eddy in Troy by bringing his dog Jessie in for visits. Sarah Stewart- WNYT- February 28, 2017- March 5, 2017- 11pm Yesterday, the North Warren Girls Basketball team just won their first sectional championship since 1980 and there's one player who really stands out as a triple treat. Sarah Stewart can play, sing and act and that makes her our Fidelis Care Athlete of the Week. As you're about to find out, Stewart does everything she possibly can in the limited time she has.
