DFT SECURES STATE GRANT FUNDING TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL BROADBAND SERVICES Contributed Article DFT Communications
Governor Cuomo announced on February 28, $212 million in New NY Broadband Program Round II grants have been awarded to projects across Upstate New York. Together with existing New York State commitments, Round II grant awards will ensure that 98 percent of New Yorkers have access to the high-speed broadband required to succeed in a 21st century economy. DFT Communications was awarded $4.274M under the New NY Broadband Grant Program. The $5.343M overall project, which includes DFT's $1.068M private investment, will bring fiber optic based broadband services with up to 1Gbps in speed to approximately 973 homes and businesses passing another 1,287 homes and businesses in the towns of Arkwright, Charlotte, Pomfret, Sheridan, Stockton, and a section of the City of Dunkirk by the lake. The state's $500M New NY Broadband Grant Program was put in place last year to help bring broadband services capable of at least 25Mbps to underserved homes and businesses in the state. Grant awardees are required to have the network completed and operational by year-end 2018, with customer installations happening during the ongoing construction and continuing for up to 24 months. Empire State Development President, CEO & Commissioner Howard Zemsky said, “The New NY Broadband Program is successfully implementing the Governor’s vision for a fully connected Empire State. The Round II grants announced today will drive hundreds of millions of dollars in state and private investment to deploy projects that will bring broadband to businesses, schools and communities, all of which need high-speed internet to compete in global economy.” Empire State Development Executive Vice President of Broadband and Innovation Jeffrey Nordhaus said, “We congratulate DFT on their Round II award of the New NY Broadband Program. DFT is helping the State of New York advance Governor Cuomo’s ambitious Broadband for All initiative. We applaud their effort in positioning New York State as a leader in providing high-quality broadband service to rural communities in need” DFT's grant was the 12th largest award in Round 2 of the

Round 2 awards yielded a total of 25 different service providers covering 53 projects, totaling $212M in grant money and $56M in company matching funds, for an overall investment amount of $266.9M in upgrades. The grant awards ranged from $226,000 to $47.8M, and will help bring broadband services capable of 100Mbps (minimum of 25Mbps in the rural areas) to over 89,000 homes and businesses that otherwise would have no service or minimal Internet speeds.

BREAKING BOUNDARIES, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 DFT Communications President & COO Mark R. Maytum publicly thanked the governor and New York State Broadband Program Office for their assistance and efforts in helping bring the broadband grant program to reality. "We are ecstatic to receive this grant to help further deploy fiber broadband services to the rural areas we serve. The people living and working in these areas deserve the same level of service as those living in urban and suburban areas of the state!" Maytum went on to say, "This is an exciting opportunity for our company and the people in this region, and we are very appreciative of the efforts from the NYS Broadband Program Office, our state legislators, and Governor Cuomo's office in making this happen." DFT Director of Carrier Sales & Services Wade Levan added, "The economics of bringing fiber based broadband services to rural areas is extremely challenging due to the long return on investment time (fewer homes and businesses available to recoup the huge investment cost), and without this type of assistance from the state the rural areas would lag further behind. The Governor and legislators clearly understand the reality and have stepped up in a huge way to transform the upstate rural economy." Senator Catharine Young said, "Expanding broadband services to rural areas is a key component to economic growth, because it is transforming the way citizens, schools, hospitals, public safety, emergency services, businesses and municipalities efficiently interact. Connecting underserved rural areas and municipalities can be a meticulous, time-consuming, and expensive undertaking, but it is a necessary investment for our future. I have consistently championed access to broadband and state funding to advance connectivity. We successfully passed $500 million for
the New NY Broadband Grant Program in last year’s budget. My congratulations to the Maytum Family and DFT Communications on securing this grant award. This state funding will help DFT continue to expand broadband access and improve people’s quality of life." “Congratulations to DFT for their pursuit of the New NY Broadband Program Round II grant!” Dunkirk’s Mayor Rosas said. “DFT has been an exemplary community leader when it comes to working with the various state agencies in order to better serve our community. The funding that will be provided through this grant will help to ensure job growth, economic development, education and community development by bringing broadband services to the underserved homes and businesses in our area.” The Mayor continued, “By providing this grant funding, advanced broadband will support current and future safety and government communication systems. The residents and business owners within the City of Dunkirk will reap the rewards of the efforts put forth by DFT, and I personally thank the Maytum family and their team for a job well done.” DFT expects to finalize permits and necessary grant agreements by mid-2017. Construction of the network will then begin with services starting to be available in late 2017 and project completion by the end of 2018. At that point, company personnel will be reaching out to the homes and businesses in their Round 2 award areas to provide updated information. As DFT begins working on its Round 2 project, they will also be reviewing eligible Round 3 locations. As part of the announcement on February 28, 2017 the Governor and the NYS Broadband Program Office also officially announced the opening of Round 3,

which encompasses another 300,000+ eligible homes and businesses. Applications for Round 3 need to be completed and submitted by November 30th, with award announcements expected in early 2018. DFT is currently reviewing the eligible census blocks to determine what areas it may apply for in Round 3. About the New NY Broadband Grant Program The Program is designed to ensure that New York's most remote communities receive the high-speed broadband Internet they need and deserve. The Program supports the deployment of advanced technologies to achieve the Governor's goal of providing New Yorkers with access to internet download speeds of at least 100 Mbps in most places, and 25 Mbps in the most remote parts of the state, by the end of 2018. Award recipients were selected through a "reverseauction" methodology, which prioritizes bidders seeking the lowest amount of state investment per new household served. In order to avoid cost duplication, the Time Warner Cable-Charter merger footprint was excluded from Round 2. This exclusion enabled the New York State Broadband Program Office to operate with a highly targeted scope and design an innovative auction process across the state, while preserving state funds.

God said that He gives us “richly” all things to enjoy! This concept of money is not what is typically understood or taught by most religious institutions. If we can get a hold of this truth concerning material things, it will really set us free ( John 8:32). Some well-intentioned people resist the concept of wealth by indicating that Jesus told us that “it is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35). It is also true that the Bible exhorts us to give to the poor (Gal 2:10). But how can we give anything if we don’t have anything ourselves? God’s intention for money is that it be used for His purposes and blessings. Money is to be our servant and is never to become our master.

Students in Grades 5 & 6 spent the day at Tifft Farms Nature Preserve. The Guides compared how both plants and animals adapt to our region’s winter conditions while using observational skills. They also explained animal tracks and pointed out clues wildlife leave behind.
A tradition during Catholic School Week at SCS is a live version of Hungry Hungry Hippos. The teachers are really good sports about participating in the game and the students love to cheer them on. The concept is to have one teacher lay on a scooter with a laundry basket while another teacher pushes her to get the most balls.

UPMC Chautauqua WCA Uses Newest Advancements in Robotic Surgery
Contributed Article UPMC Chautauqua WCA
The only hospital in the Southern Tier to perform robotic surgery, UPMC Chautauqua WCA exceeded its 1,000th robotic surgery cases since the inception of the robotic program on February 14, 2013. Using the newest advancements in minimally invasive surgery using the da Vinci® Surgical System, in surgery— robotic surgeons at UPMC Chautauqua WCA are now using the newest robotic surgery tool, Firefly Fluorescence Imaging capabilities that provide real-time, image-guided identification of key anatomical landmarks using near-infrared technology. Able to perform highly complex procedures with unparalleled precision, patients benefit from the expertise of a specially trained and experienced surgery team including the expertise of Dr. Timothy Brown, FACS, board-certified general surgeon; Galo Grijalva, M.D., FACS, board certified general and bariatric surgeon; Matthew Chang, M.D., FACS, board-certified surgeon; Russell Lee, M.D., FACS, board certified surgeon; Ichabod Jung, M.D., FACS, board certified urologist; Ryan White, M.D., board certified urologist; Eric Arnone, M.D., board-eligible urologist; Robert Daniels, M.D., board certified OB/GYN physician; and Thomas Andrews, board certified OB/GYN physician. “Robotic surgery is the dawn of a new generation of advanced minimally invasive surgery,” Betsy T. Wright, president UPMC Chautauqua WCA
said. “We are well-positioned to provide patients the very latest surgery procedures and technologies and proud of the capabilities and expertise of our surgeons and experienced surgical team.” Robotic surgery procedures at UPMC Chautauqua WCA include, • cholecystectomy, • single site cholecystectomy, • ventral/incisional hernia, inguinal hernia, • nissen fundoplication, • right colectomy, left colectomy/sigmoid resection, • low anterior resection, • splenectomy, • adrenalectomy, • appendectomy; • gynecology surgery including, • hysterectomy and salpingo-oopherectomy; • endometriosis • and urology surgery including, • prostatectomy, • nephrectomy, • partial nephrectomy, • pyeolplasty, • and other general urology procedures. During robotic-assisted surgery, the robotic surgeon operates from a console where he can watch a live three-dimensional video feed of the patient’s surgical operating site. Guiding the robotic arms with great care and skill, the surgeon uses miniaturized instruments
to perform surgery. Often called a “robot”, robotic surgery cannot act on its own. The surgery is performed entirely by the expert skills of the surgeon. Together, the surgical system and instruments allow the surgeon to perform surgery through tiny key-hole incisions or a single site incision while seated at the control console. “It is important to understand that robotic-assisted surgery is performed by the surgeon,” says Dr. Brown who performed the first single incision robotic gallbladder surgery at the hospital with one small incision through the belly button. “The surgeon’s hands are at the console, controlling every movement of the surgical instruments of the robot. The quality of the images and precise movement essentially puts us right next to the area in which we are operating, enhancing the precision and dexterity during the laparoscopic surgery. The robotic surgical system has the added benefit of compensating for even the slightest movement which provides great accuracy and less disruption to surrounding tissues. As a result, patients recover quickly from surgical procedures and resume normal activities.” Jodene Strom, robotic gallbladder surgery patient of Dr. Brown’s said she had very little pain after surgery. “I experienced some slight discomfort the first day, but surprisingly was sitting comfortably on my front porch that very afternoon. I chose robotic surgery because it would allow me to be back to work sooner. To my delight, I was back to normal activities and work within two days.” Community Presentation April 13 Robotic surgeon, Thomas W. Andrews, MD, credentialed robotic surgeon on the medical staff of UPMC Chautauqua WCA, will host a community presentation on Thursday, April 13, 6 p.m. entitled, GIRL TALK: Learn How Robotic Surgery Provides Patient Benefits for Endometriosis and Hysterectomy. Dr. Andrews will discuss surgical options and the patient benefits of choosing robotic surgery. The presentation will be held at UPMC Chautauqua WCA Auditorium, 207 Foote Ave., Jamestown. The program is free and open to the public. Regis-

Minimally Invasive Surgery UPMC Chautauqua WCA offers a wide range of general surgery procedures. Many surgeries can be performed through laparoscopic, or minimally invasive, methods. Minimally invasive surgery is performing surgery through the smallest incisions, a less invasive approach to traditional surgery. With minimally invasive surgery, many patients are discharged quicker and may return to work and normal activities within days of surgery. UPMC Chautauqua WCA surgery program offers a wide range of minimally invasive and laparoscopic surgeries including, inguinal, incisional and umbilical hernia repair, laparoscopic appendectomy, laparoscopic gallbladder surgery, laparoscopic colon surgery, and minimally invasive orthopedic, ear, nose, throat, urology, podiatry, and kidney surgery.

For Eichel, it was his first goal in seven games, but it's not like he hasn't been productive in that stretch. With the goal, he extended his point streak to six games (1+6). He now has 21 points (6+15) in his last 20 games, including six multi-point outings. However, the Sabres are now 10-1-0 this season (and 19-4-0 in his career) when he has at least two points. Buffalo's second goal came as a result of another rush led by Eichel. Coming out of the penalty box, Eichel busted in over the line with Ryan O'Reilly, and with Jake McCabe and Rodrigues trailing close behind as the Sabres pressed the Coyotes defenders. Eichel passed it over to McCabe and then McCabe moved it laterally to Rodrigues who scored his second of the season - and his second in two games.

The Sabres had won their last six games in Arizona, with the last loss before tonight taking place on Jan. 21, 2008.
