WE HAVE 17 INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETIC TEAMS, AND FOR MOST OF THE SEASONS, I'LL ASK DOM DIMAGGIO, OUR DEAN OF ATHLETICS AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION, HOW'S THE TEAM DOING? WHAT CAN WE EXPECT THIS YEAR? AND HE ALWAYS MANAGES EXPECTATIONS. I KNOW IT'S NOT GOOD WHEN HE SAYS, DON'T EXPECT THE POSTSEASON. AND THEN THE BEST I CAN HOPE FOR IS THEY'RE PRETTY GOOD. SHOULD BE GOOD.WE'LL SEE. SO I WENT TO THE FIRST GAME OF THE MEN'S BASKETBALL SEASON. THEY HAD A COUPLE OF SCRIMMAGES. THEY ASKED DOM, HOW'S IT GOING? AND HE SAYS, YEAH. HARLEY SAYS TEAM'S GOING TO BE PRETTY GOOD. WE'LL SEE HOW IT GOES TODAY BECAUSE WE'RE PLAYING KINGSBOROUGH FROM BROOKLYN AND KINGSBOROUGH COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND WE'RE MISSING LIKE HALF OUR STARTERS.
THEY'RE NOT THEY'RE NOT PLAYING TODAY. AND WE WERE UP BY 30 AT HALF AND WON 9257. SO YEAH, THEY WERE PROBABLY GOING TO BE PRETTY GOOD THAT YEAR. AND BY THE END OF THE YEAR HERE WE ARE WITH THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. SO DOMINIC DIMAGGIO, DEAN, YOU BRING COACH FULLER AND THE REST OF THE COACHES IN THE TEAM UP AS WELL. AND IN CASE YOU DIDN'T REMEMBER, DOMINIC DIMAGGIO IS THE MEN'S SOCCER COACH, BUT ALSO THE DEAN OF ATHLETICS AT MVCC. SO DOMINIC, WANT TO SAY A FEW WORDS? ABSOLUTELY.

IN FEBRUARY, NIAGARA FALLS, NEW YORK. JAMES COLLEGE, GLOVERSVILLE, NEW YORK, MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA. OH, ANDRE FOSTER SAID NEW YORK. BRONX, NEW YORK, EARL MILLER, CONNECTICUT. PROSPECT. ONE THING I'D LIKE TO SAY ABOUT THIS GROUP IS THERE WAS NEVER A DOUBT WITH THIS GROUP FROM DAY ONE, THE MOMENT THAT I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO WATCH HIM, I KNEW THAT THIS TEAM DEFINITELY HAD WHAT IT TOOK TO WIN A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. I KNEW THE HARDEST PART WOULD PROBABLY BE STICKING TOGETHER AS A TEAM AND GETTING THROUGH SOME TOUGH TIMES, BUT I THINK THE COACHING STAFF DID AN EXCELLENT JOB OF THAT THIS YEAR, WHICH EVENTUALLY LED TO OBVIOUSLY THEM WINNING THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. SO I'D LIKE TO BRING UP HEAD COACH OF THE MEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM, HARLEY FULLER. SO I'LL TRY NOT TO SPEAK TOO LONG HERE. GET EMOTIONAL, BUT NO GUARANTEES. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING US HERE. I CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH HOW AMAZING IT IS TO HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE TODAY. AND, YOU KNOW, COMING INTO OUR SEASON WITH OUR TEAM, YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN FORTUNATE TO HAVE A GOOD GROUP OF TALENTED TEAMS AT MOHAWK VALLEY. JUST IT'S BEEN A GREAT PLACE TO HAVE STUDENT ATHLETES. AND WE HAVE GREAT SUPPORT THROUGHOUT OUR ENTIRE SCHOOL. AS A RESULT, WE'VE AGAIN, WE'VE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE SOME VERY TALENTED ATHLETES. BUT COMING INTO THIS YEAR, IT WAS THERE WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS TEAM. WE HAD A FEELING WE HAD A GOOD FEELING ABOUT OUR TALENT LEVEL.YOU KNOW, JUST SPEAKING WITH MY ASSISTANT COACHES AND WATCHING THE FIRST OPEN GYMS, JUST A COUPLE COUPLE GLANCES AND LOOKS LIKE, YEAH, WE THINK WE GOT A CHANCE TO BE PRETTY PRETTY PRETTY GOOD. BUT REALLY THE KEY COMPONENT OF THIS TEAM IS IF YOU LOOK DOWN THE LINE, THESE ARE, YOU KNOW, STUDENT ATHLETES THAT HAD NUMEROUS OPPORTUNITIES TO GO TO DIFFERENT SCHOOLS, SOME OF THEM ON SCHOLARSHIPS OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL OR DIFFERENT. WE HAVE GUYS AGAIN FROM CONNECTICUT, MILWAUKEE, PHOENIX, ARIZONA WHO MADE THE DECISION, YOU KNOW, TO COME TO ONEIDA COUNTY TO COME TO MOHAWK VALLEY OVER A NUMBER OF THOSE SCHOOLS AND TO CHASE SOMETHING BIGGER THAT THAT WAS KIND OF OUR VISION FOR THIS.

RIGHT? I THINK THEY ENJOY THAT ATTENTION TO HAVE ALL THIS STUFF ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND, AND BE EXCITED AND HAVE EVERYBODY CELEBRATE YOU AS AN INDIVIDUAL. BUT WITH THIS TEAM, WHEN YOU LOOK DOWN THE LINE, WE HAVE GUYS ON THIS TEAM. I MEAN, JUST LOOKING DOWN AGAIN, I'M GOING TO I'M NOT GOING TO GET EMOTIONAL HERE TODAY NO MATTER WHAT. BUT THEY BOUGHT INTO SOMETHING BIGGER.

AND AS A RESULT, YOU KNOW, THEY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WIN A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. SO REALLY WITH THIS GROUP, IT'S IT WAS THE MOST CONNECTED GROUP I'VE BEEN AROUND AS SINCE I'VE BEEN A COACH. I KNOW I LOOK PRETTY YOUNG SOMETIMES SOME DAYS HERE, BUT I'VE BEEN COACHING FOR A LONG TIME. THE MOST CONNECTED GROUP I'VE EVER BEEN AROUND. AND THE SACRIFICES THAT THESE GUYS MADE FOR ONE ANOTHER TO UNDERSTAND THAT MAYBE I'M GOING TO SCORE TEN POINTS TODAY AND I'LL SCORE 30 POINTS TOMORROW. I'LL BE I'M GOING TO DO WHATEVER I CAN DO TO BE PART OF SOMETHING THAT CAN BE SPECIAL AND CHASE A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. AND I COULD NOT BE MORE PROUD OF THESE GUYS. EVERY PERSON IN THIS LINE HAS MADE A COMMITMENT TO THIS PROGRAM, TO THIS SCHOOL, TO GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE UP HERE TODAY. AND HONESTLY, IT'S SOMETHING THAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF FOR US. I MEAN, TO BE STANDING UP HERE IN FRONT OF ALL OF YOU AND TO HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY IS SOMETHING THAT I'VE BEEN TELLING THESE GUYS SINCE THE FIRST MEETING. YOU KNOW, IF WE IF WE'RE ABLE TO WIN A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP, IT'S SOMETHING YOU'RE GOING TO REMEMBER THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. AND, YOU KNOW, BEING AT MOHAWK VALLEY, I KNOW FOR ME HAS BEEN A BLESSING IN MY LIFE FOR THESE GUYS. AS THEY GET OLDER, THEY'LL START TO UNDERSTAND HOW SPECIAL THIS IS GOING TO BE, SOMETHING YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO COME IN THIS GYM AND TELL YOUR YOUR KIDS ABOUT SOMEDAY AND POINT UP AT THAT BANNER.

SO I WANTED TO SPEAK TODAY AND GIVE AN UPDATE ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON AT ONEIDA COUNTY JAIL. THIS PAST WEEK, WE WERE ABLE TO START FIVE TRANSFERS FROM STATE CORRECTIONS. IT WAS A GOOD DAY IN JAIL. I KNOW THAT'S A HARD THING TO SAY OUT LOUD, BUT IT WAS A GOOD DAY IN JAIL AND I KNOW THAT EVERYONE HERE HAS HAD TO HEAR ME SPEAK. UTTER BLOVIATE ABOUT OUR CHALLENGES. SO IT WAS DEFINITELY A GOOD DAY. I WANT TO FIRST AND FOREMOST SAY THAT I AM UTMOST IMPRESSED WITH THE COUNTY EXEC. THE COUNTY EXEC, ANTHONY PICENTE, DID SOMETHING THAT NO ONE ELSE WANTED TO DO, AND THEN EVERYONE ELSE WANTED TO FOLLOW SUIT AND RIDE ON HIS COATTAILS.HE SPOKE TO YOU FOLKS HERE, THIS BOARD. HE GAVE DIRECTION TO THE COUNTY ATTORNEY, AMANDA, WHICH SHE DID AN AMAZING JOB GETTING A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER ON THE EXECUTIVE ORDER. THIS IS AMAZING TO BE PART OF THIS COUNTY, WORKING FOR THE SHERIFF, BEING A REPRESENTATIVE FOR CORRECTION OFFICERS IN THIS COUNTY. YOU KNOW, I'VE. I'VE HAD MY OWN TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OVER THE YEARS OF THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE, THINGS WE HAVEN'T DONE. BUT TODAY IS A GOOD DAY AND WE'RE LOOKING AT THE FUTURE HERE. WORKING WITH THE COUNTY EXEC TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE
[00:15:03]
ABLE TO CONTINUE HIRING THESE OFFICERS, THESE DISPLACED OFFICERS, AND MAKING OUR OWN DECISIONS TO HIRE WHO WE WILL AT THE COUNTY LEVEL IS THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE. WE CANNOT BE. IT CANNOT BE DICTATED ON HOW WE DO THINGS IN ONEIDA COUNTY BECAUSE OF THE GOVERNOR AND HER MISPLACED, MISGUIDED IDEAS AND IDEALS. THE TRANSFERS ARE MOTIVATED. THEY'RE COMING IN.THEY SEEM LIKE THEY WANT TO BE PART OF OUR GROUP. YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY TO KNOW THAT EVEN THE FIRST DAY THEY WERE, THEY WERE THEY CALLED THE ATTENTION ALL ON THEIR OWN. THEY WERE READY FOR READY FOR WORK. SO YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT GOING FORWARD, YOU HAVE TRUSTED SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD ALL BE PROUD OF. I WANT TO THANK FOR THE CORRECTION OFFICERS FOR DOING THIS WORK.
OUR CORRECTION OFFICERS AT ONEIDA COUNTY, THE CORRECTION OFFICERS THROUGHOUT THE STATE THAT ARE DEALING WITH THE ONGOING ISSUES THAT. HAVE BEEN PUSHED UPON THEM AND THE UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT, THE UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT IS NO LONGER GOING TO CONTINUE AT THE ONEIDA COUNTY CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES BECAUSE OF WHAT WE WERE ABLE TO DO. I KNOW I'VE TALKED TO YOU BEFORE IN THE PAST OF MY OTHER INVOLVEMENTS THROUGHOUT THE STATE. I REPRESENT COUNCIL 82, WHICH IS A LAW ENFORCEMENT UNION. THERE'S 84 LOCALS, POLICE OFFICERS, CORRECTION OFFICERS, FEW TITLES, STATE DOCS, LIEUTENANTS. I HAVE HEARD FROM MULTIPLE STATE LEADERS FOR THE UNIONS THAT THERE IS A SENSE OF PRIDE THAT THEY'RE EVEN ASSOCIATED WITH ONEIDA COUNTY WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT WAS DONE HERE, THROUGH THE LAWSUIT, THROUGH THE TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER. IT IS A SENSE OF PRIDE. AND THAT'S WHAT OUR STAFF AT COUNCIL 82 HAS, HAS INDICATED TO ME. WE'RE PRIDEFUL BECAUSE WE'RE ASSOCIATED WITH YOU AND WHAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED. SO I WANT TO THANK YOU. I WANT TO THANK THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE, TONY PICENTE. I WANT TO THANK THE SHERIFF, ROBERT MACIOL. I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR SUPPORTING WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO AT THE JAIL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
