Local Equestrian Team Heads to Oklahoma City
TMC Equestrian Team located in Cuba, NY coached by Tonya and Mike Cooper heads to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma June 14-16 with 14 qualified riders from their Interscholastic Equestrian Teams (IEA). This organization consists of grades 6 – 12th grade students. The 2020 season will open its doors up to 4th and 5th grade students as well. “The unique aspect of the competitions, both at the local and national level, is that none of the riders will supply their own horses or tack. Instead, the host team arranges for the horses and equipment. Since the horse is new to the rider, the scores are based upon horsemanship and equitation. All disciplines offer a variety of ability levels from beginner through advanced.” (taken from rideiea.org)
The Coopers have been coaching IEA riders now for the past 7 years, but this season made history. Qualifying 3 out of 4 teams from the farm, TMC Equestrian Team Middle School (Allie Stayer - Olean, Lindsey Kolb - Allegany, Kendyl Rogers – Portville, Katherine Riley-Allegany) TMC Too Upper School (Megan Wells – Bradford, PA, Savanna Wilson – Hinsdale, Erin Washburn-Little Valley, Rodney Doran-Coudersport, PA) and TMC Too Middle School Team (Garrett Cooper-Cuba, Dakota Hultberg-Frewsberg, Zane Gleason-Allegany) and 7 individually qualified riders (Baileigh Loucks-Cuba, Hayden Kolb – Allegany, Kendyl Rogers, Garrett Cooper, Dakota Hultberg, Katherine Riley, Reese Gabreski – Coudersport, PA) to the National Championship show in OKC. This has been the largest accomplishment in the history of NY State IEA competition teams.
These teams/riders must compete through the regular season and are limited to five shows to accumulate 15 individual points and 20 team points to advance to the next level of competitions. At the Regional show, riders and teams must place in the top 3 to advance to Semi-Finals. In order to qualify for Nationals, riders and teams must place in the top 6 to advance. Tonya and Mike are very proud of every rider that comes to their farm. It is a true honor to be a part of such a rewarding experience building better horseman/women one day at a time.
TMC Performance Horses is located at 4783 Rt 305, Cuba NY 14727. Lessons, board and training are available year-round. Please text/call 607-769-2526 or email tmcperformance@yahoo.com for more information about joining the TEAM, scheduling a riding lesson, or attending one of the Horse Retreats this summer.

Public Input Welcome On Comprehensive Plan
A project of commissioners and planning boards from the three counties, the plan will guide decision-makers across a broad spectrum of public policy areas for the 2020-29 decade. Its implications will be felt in everything from economic development, environmental conservation, transportation, employment, education, small business, community facilities and other areas.
After the first round of public input, during which nearly 2,400 people participated across the three counties, the top issues that have emerged for action are:
- business attraction and workforce development;
- protection of clean air, water and natural places;
- expansion of infrastructure (including public works and high-speed internet);
- enhanced attractions for tourism and recreation;
- strengthening downtown amenities and community services;
- investing in expanded housing;
- addressing issues related to drug addiction.
Focus groups have been meeting to provide the framework. The public will have another opportunity to be heard during a three-county public meeting scheduled for 6-8 pm on Thursday, June 27, at Port Allegany High School. Input is also being accepted by planning directors Will Hunt (Potter), Jeremy Morey (McKean) and Cliff Clark (Cameron), and by consultant Joe Passmore at joseph.passmore@mbakerintl.com or 717-221-2061.
Initial research cited multiple public policy challenges that will be posed by declining population, combined with steady increases in median age. Implications will be felt in terms of needed services, changes in the job market, economics and other areas. While the master document covers a three-county region, the plan will include sections that are exclusive to each county.
The plan is mandated by the state and must be updated every 10 years. Total cost is $115,000, with $80,000 covered by federal funding and the remaining $35,000 shared equally among Cameron, Potter and McKean counties.
