“I used to know your dad,” she told me at a fundraiser event. The venue was crowded with guests. Noise echoed off the walls. Music played in the background. But those six words levitated above the commotion of the night. It’s rare when I meet someone who knew my father, Joe Davich, who died on Christmas Eve, 1987. He was 50. I was 25. It feels like he’s been gone 37 lifetimes ago, not 37 years. My memories of him fade a bit more each year like images in a rear view mirror on a long drive. I’ve been patching together distant reflections of my dad for many years. My memories look like snapshot photos from an old Polaroid camera, not streaming videos from the newest iPhone. If you have parents or older loved ones who died many years ago, you may have similarly sketchy memories of them. Any information or insights or anecdotes, no matter how minuscule, feel like a gift from strangers. This is especially true if those loved ones lived before the Digital Age emerged, allowing us the opportunity to capture their lives with modern technology. I have only a photo album or two of old photos of my dad, along with some of his belongings. It’s a decades-old puzzle that’s missing quite a few pieces. It will never be complete but I’m always looking for new pieces from people who knew him, as if they’ve been tucked in their pocket since his death. For anyone whose parents are no longer here, we instinctively attempt to flesh out who they were when we weren’t paying attention. When I meet someone who knew my dad, I tend to ask the same question: What was he like? Was he funny? Ornery? Angry? Charismatic? Was he smoking a cigar? Was he telling dirty jokes? Was he making friends out of strangers? “His kindness towards me, his work ethic, humor and unconditional love for his family is how I remember him. I’m pretty sure anyone else who ever got to know him, even a little, would agree,” Marciniak told me. She knew my dad beginning in 1979, when she was in her early twenties. Marciniak owned a flowers and gift shop called Favorite Pastimes in downtown Chesterton, the first store to occupy the Main Street building. “One of the things I remember about that time were the relationships that I had with the other business owners, and the almost family-type support system we shared,” she said. A barber named Dick Anderson. Child’s Portion, a children’s clothing boutique. And Leonard’s Restaurant, now known as Peggy Sue’s Diner, to name a few.

My family’s restaurant business, Uncle’s, was located just a few storefronts down on Calumet Ave. “He was proud of his brick-and-mortar business, which was hard, hard work every day,” Marciniak said. “It was a great addition to the downtown, and a lifesaver for me when I was too lazy to make a lunch the night before or just had a taste for one of the many great sandwich offerings.” She described my father as “larger than life,” a kind thing to tell his son. Unlike me, my dad had the gift of gab. He could talk to a dimly lit lamppost in a dark alley and it would brighten up. “He would wander in sometimes after the lunch rush and we had conversations about business, Chesterton and, of course, food,” Marciniak said. “He often had the end of a cigar in his mouth and usually a smile on his face. He had a great laugh and laughed often.” “But the best conversations we had were about his family. He lit up when telling me about them. He beamed with pride when talking about his wife and kids,” Marciniak said. I may have presumed this because the concept of family was so important to him. But I had never been told this from a stranger or old friend. It’s one thing to pretend something is true. It’s another thing to have it confirmed again and again. “Joe once confided in me the concerns he had for Joe Jr. and his alcohol and addiction struggles,” Marciniak said. My big brother, Joe Jr., struggled with an addiction to alcohol, drugs and an unconventional lifestyle since his teen years. My dad and I never really talked about my brother’s addiction problems despite the role it played in our personal life and our family business. “When I think about it now, as a mother and grandmother, it must have been terrifying,” Marciniak said. “Despite his fears and the sadness of watching his son struggle, he was fiercely proud of Joe Jr. Why did he tell me about this deeply personal worry? I don’t know.” I don’t know either. But I understand the need to do so. I’ve been sharing this deeply personal aspect of my life with thousands of strangers through my writing. This career, which I didn’t have during my father’s life, is what led me to that unexpected encounter with Marciniak last week. I asked her afterward for any other remembrances of my dad. “Joe Davich was an unforgettable man,” she replied. Isn’t this what all of us want to hear about loved ones who seem more like a ghost every year.It was also the year that long-simmering projects made major advances and millions in public funding was announced, including $1.5 billion for a second GlobalFoundries fabrication facility in Malta that is expected to create 1,000 manufacturing jobs. Millions in planned development was also proposed this year, laying the groundwork for future development for 2025 and beyond. Here’s a look at some of 2024’s biggest developments. Global Foundries, which is headquartered in Malta, was awarded $1.5 billion over 10 years under the Chips and Sciences Act, $1.6 million in federal loans and $575 million in state funding. Of the funding, $1.375 billion would go to support the creation of a second 385,000-square-foot fabrication facility in Malta. The expansion will generate 1,000 manufacturing jobs and 8,000 construction jobs. The company’s Vermont facility would also be upgraded. Construction began in May on the $50 million Mohawk Harbor Arena in Schenectady that will be home to the Union College men’s and women’s hockey teams beginning next fall. Developers broke ground on the arena in May, with the Union College men’s hockey team expected to open its 2025 season next fall against Army at the 3,330 capacity arena. The Schenectady City Council allocated $2.5 million in American Rescue Plan Act [ARPA] funding for the project in February, complementing $5 million in county funding, with Union College entering into a long-term lease agreement worth $20 million to utilize the facility The further expansion of the Mohawk Harbor site, which is anchored by Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady and also features condos and retail shops, will continue with the impending opening of the 100-room Hyatt House hotel at Mohawk Harbor. The hotel, which is expected to open next fall to coincide with the arena opening its doors, will be the third hotel at the harbor complex, joining the existing 124-room Courtyard by Marriot and the 165-room Landing Hotel that is part of the casino. One of the most prominent intersections in the city of Schenectady underwent a major transformation this year — and more work is expected in the new year. Renovations on the historic Wedgeway building at 271-277 State St. are now in the home stretch following years of neglect that led to decay at the once-prominent building. Work to renovate the building’s interior remains ongoing and a six-story addition is entering the home stretch. Marc Paquin, president of the Latham-based Cass Hill Development, the firm behind the $20 million project, said in July that the building’s 70 apartment units will begin being advertised for lease this winter. Across the street, a trio of buildings collectively known as 308 State St. are also poised for redevelopment after Lightwell Development of New York City proposed an $11 million plan to transform the blighted property, which includes a historic building that once housed the Masonic Temple, into a mixed-use development featuring two ground level retail spaces and 45 new apartments on the upper floors. Plans to redevelop the sprawling St. Clare’s Hospital campus off McClellan Street in Schenectady were also announced in 2024. A development team of Jeff Buell Redburn Development and Chris Spraragen, owner of Schenectady Hardware and Electric, are behind the $50 million project that includes turning the vacant building into 250 market-rate apartment units. Ellis Hospital agreed to sell the 17-acre property to the team in August amid ongoing consolidation efforts. The Belanger School of Nursing and a pair of medical buildings located on the property will remain operational. A trail system connecting the property to the neighboring Central Park has also been discussed. The Schenectady County Metroplex Development Authority will be providing sales and mortgage tax exemptions and a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement. The redevelopment plans will put the property on the tax rolls for the first time since the hospital opened in 1949. In April the town of Wilton approved a project to create 296 apartments and 86 townhomes at Wilton Mall. The project will be done in two phases. The first will begin with the construction of 296 apartments where the former Bon-Ton store was, while the second will entail the creation of 86 townhomes, according to the project website. The apartment buildings will have a clubhouse in the courtyard that features a two-story fitness center, surface and basement parking and views of the county forest or courtyard. The townhomes will also include garage space and surface parking. Longtime magazine print company Quad Graphics announced in January that it was closing its doors in WJ Grande Industrial Park in Saratoga Springs. The company employed 435 people. In October Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. announced it would take over the location, expanding one of the region's largest employers. The company has said the 1-million-square-foot site will be used for “production support services.” It’s the company’s first location in Saratoga County. A long-vacant superfund site located along a major gateway into Glenville is set to be redeveloped after plans to construct a 124-room hotel and three other commercial buildings were approved in November by the town’s Planning and Zoning Commission. Matrix Hotels of Clifton Park proposed the project at 34-36 Freemans Bridge Road back in 2023 amid growing demand for hotel space in Schenectady. The company operates the adjacent Homewood Suites by Hilton Schenectady at 2 Freemans Bridge Road. The approval marks a major milestone in the redevelopment of the Freemans Bridge corridor that has been an area of focus for lawmakers for years. The Scotia Fire Department moved into its new $8.8 million home on Mohawk Avenue in July. The 14,000-square-foot building is the culmination of a yearslong effort to upgrade the village’s century-old firehouse that could not house the department’s rescue vehicles and lacked adequate space for firefighters to decominate turnout gear after battling a blaze. Voters approved the project in a 2022 referendum that allowed the village to borrow $13.8 million to upgrade its aging facilities. Lawmakers are hoping to move forward with a $5 million renovation project at Village Hall in the new year after bids for the project came in over budget this spring, effectively stalling work weeks before construction was set to begin. Canadian water management company Soleno opened its first ever U.S. facility in the WJ Grande Industrial Park this fall. The 47-year-old family-owned business is operating a 45,000-square-foot facility with a $22 million investment in the area. The company has brought German Krah Pipes technology, which it acquired in 2022, to the United States and Canada under its newest product line KUSTOMFLO. The new technology will enable the company to create custom-designed large diameter pipes using high-density polyethylene. The pipes last more than 100 years, according to a press release from the company. In December Tree House Brewing began beer-to-go options for people as it began to make its mark in the Saratoga Springs area. The company first announced plans to build an over 20,000-square-foot location on Route 9 in October 2023. The company has four locations in Massachusetts in Deerfield, Sandwich, Tewksbury and Charlton, as well as one in Woodstock, Connecticut. The Saratoga Springs location is to be the first location in New York, and is expected to support at least 60 jobs, the company said. The new clubhouse at the Amsterdam Municipal Golf Course will finally be built following the award of contracts totalling $1.81 million combined for general construction and electrical work this month. The 3,870-square-foot indoor and outdoor, year-round clubhouse will seat up to 150 patrons. An outdoor covered patio will take advantage of the view of the golf course. It will also feature a bar, full commercial kitchen, bathrooms, and fireplaces or fire pits. Depending on the weather, initial site work could begin imminently before ramping up to full construction in the spring. Contracts for the project require work to be substantially complete by Aug. 1, 2025. There may be landscaping and touch up work after that date, but the facility should be ready to open by then. The city is re-advertising for mechanical and plumbing work at the facility after initial bids came in over estimates. Bids for those outstanding elements will be opened on Jan. 10. City officials set a $2 million target budget for the overall project to construct a new clubhouse. It will be partially funded by a $100,000 allocation from the city’s American Rescue Plan Act federal coronavirus relief aid and $550,000 in grants secured by state representatives. The Common Council previously authorized a $1 million bond for the project. Remaining costs will be covered with unanticipated state aid received by the city. The new construction will return a clubhouse to the golf course which has been without a functioning facility since the former building suffered significant water damage from burst pipes in February 2019. The building was later torn down by Lance Orcutt, who bought the property to build a modern clubhouse that never materialized. The city reacquired the site last year. City officials describe the golf course as an asset providing an amenity to existing and prospective residents alike that can help spur economic development. They say returning a clubhouse to the site will provide a venue golfers and non-golfers can enjoy while aiding course finances as part of an overall goal of ensuring Muni at least breaks even each year. The opening of Chuctanunda Trail Park in October marked a milestone for Amsterdam as the city completed its first project funded through the $10 million Downtown Revitalization Initiative state grant. The park carrying the extended Chuctanunda Creek Trail to downtown alongside the waterway is located at the rear of the Post Office and Amsterdam Free Library. It features new sidewalks, lighting, landscaping, a variety of seating and a small event stage. The roughly $700,000 project was among those planned through the state grant that faced substantial delays due to budget shortfalls after the city was awarded the DRI in 2018. Project plans and estimates developed the following year could not account for the impacts of the pandemic and escalating costs for materials and services in the years that followed. The park was completed with funds that were reallocated after the owner of the historic Samuel Sweet Canal Store decided not to move forward with partially DRI funded renovations. Officials have sought additional funding to advance a number of other planned projects, including the boardwalk on the South Side planned for construction next year. Veteran’s Time to Thrive (VT3), an Amsterdam-based nonprofit, has proposed the construction of a 12-unit apartment building for veterans and their families on vacant lots at 208-210, 212 and 214 E. Main St.. It would feature a communal area for families on the top floor, as well as commercial and office space on the ground level. David Mendez, a retired U.S. Navy commander and president of VT3, came up with the first of its kind concept to create a supportive living environment for military families as a whole who are often overlooked by veterans programs and services. Project plans are undergoing review by the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals with decisions expected in early 2025. VT3 is seeking local approvals before applying for grants and other financing for the project estimated at $6 million to $8 million. The nonprofit must secure needed approvals, permits and funding in order to exercise a $5,000 purchase option on the city-owned properties on East Main Street where the project is proposed. The Common Council previously authorized the option on land where the former Carmel’s Diner and DiCaprio’s Diner were demolished to clear the highly visible sites of blight in 2022. The option agreement expires on Jan. 1, 2026. In March, lawmakers greenlit a $7.2 million contract with ManFred Construction to build a new sewer pipeline between the Glove Cities and Mayfield. MCJ Construction was awarded $673,000 to build a new pump station and Stilsing Electric Inc., was awarded $75,000 to wire up the facility. Additionally, officials plan to connect wastewater infrastructure across 15 miles of the Great Sacandaga Lake area for a total of $30 million, stretching as far as the village of Northville. Once the project is completed, it will consolidate local resources and open up commerce along state routes 30 and 30A, which are the main highway connections for the Land of 44 Lakes. Chairman John Blackmon believes the project will generate more economic development for the region. After E29, a manufacturing company, announced they wanted to build a cannabis facility on the former Beech Nut site, the plans fell through to build on the 19-acre parcel. They had intended to build a 65,000-square-foot building, a new 50,000-square-foot cultivation center and a three-acre solar farm at the site. However, the project was discontinued because company leaders pivoted to a smaller plan size, and they wanted a narrower focus elsewhere in the village in an effort to more easily meet regulatory hurdles. Despite the project falling through, there is still interest in the parcel. The remaining 7.9 acres of the former Beech-Nut site have been eyed by Penn Properties for commercial and residential use, along with some acreage remaining for a park. After three years of searching, Entrepreneur Timothy Rizzo is planning to build his $46 million ice complex in Mayfield. The Upstate Ice Plex founder said the Mayfield location was chosen to be more accessible to patrons in both Fulton and Montgomery counties. When built, the building will be the only major multi-purpose ice rink facility between Schenectady and Rome. It will encompass about 100 acres of land, including 365 parking spaces and just over 330,000 square feet of facility space. Multiple arenas, a day care facility, gymnasium, restaurant, and emergency management office would be erected onsite. Rizzo met with Fulton County Planning Board Director Scott Henze six months ago to discuss the project, but for Henze, not enough is known yet about the site in order to determine whether the project is viable. The ice rink project initially was a multi-rink design unsuccessfully proposed by a retired Gloversville teacher in Caroga in the 1990s, but Rizzo believes his engineering background will make the project a reality. In September, Mayfield town lawmakers approved a multi-million dollar resolution of support for the project, but to date it has not received any grant dollars.Mild weather challenged rifle hunters in southwestern Montana, FWP says

Lautaro Martinez ended a near two-month goal drought as Inter Milan closed to within one point of Serie A leaders Atalanta by sweeping aside Cagliari 3-0. Martinez had gone eight matches since last finding the back of the net against Venezia on November 3 but after Alessandro Bastoni opened the scoring in the 54th minute, the Argentina international struck in Sardinia. The Inter captain took his tally against Cagliari to 10 goals in as many games after 71 minutes before Hakan Calhanoglu capped an excellent night for the visitors from the penalty spot a few moments later. This moment >>> #ForzaInter #CagliariInter pic.twitter.com/aZwbAZvRVI — Inter ⭐⭐ (@Inter_en) December 28, 2024 Inter’s fifth-successive league victory led to them temporarily leapfrogging Atalanta, who reclaimed top spot but saw their lead cut to a single point following a 1-1 draw at Lazio. Gian Piero Gasperini’s side were grateful for a point in the end after falling behind to Fisayo Dele-Bashiru’s first-half strike, only drawing level with two minutes remaining thanks to Marco Brescianini. Lautaro Valenti’s last-gasp strike condemned rock-bottom Monza to a 10th defeat in 18 matches as Parma edged a 2-1 victory, while Genoa defeated Empoli by the same scoreline.None
