ELLICOTTVILLE’S ROCKIN’ OLDIES WEEKEND: SEPT. 17-19 ~ ELLICOTTVILLE, NY

Bonagany Street FestivalOlean Celebrates on Main Street, Saturday September 25

SEE SHOW PAGE 9

BY NICHOLAS PIRCIOWPIG, 95.7 FM

It’s been a busy summer in Olean, with the annual fi reworks show, the Taste of Olean and Art in the Park, the Gus Macker 3-on-3 basketball tournament, and Rally in the Valley. But that’s not all.: coming up next is the Greater Olean Area Outdoor

and Recreation Sports Show on September 11th and 12th. Chamber administrator Meme Yanetsko took some time to relax following the Rally; but she’s eager to talk about the Sports Show, which she says actually offers more than the name implies. Unlike most of the other Chamber activities, this one has a short

history; 2010 is only the second year. According to Yanetsko, last year’s initial event proved to be a success. “About 1200 people came through the doors and about fi fty-fi ve vendors. We have the good workings for a successful continuing event.” Participants are encouraged to bring an item to be sent to our Armed Forces serving overseas.

So what’s happening this year? Yanetsko notes, “If you’re thinking this is just a hunting and fi shingshow, you’re wrong.” There will be many different recreational outdooractivities, from archery to scubadiving. It’s the place for anybody

There will be many different recreational outdoor activities, from archery to scuba diving. It’s the place for anybody looking for something different to do, or to learn a new sport, or to sharpen your skill in a given sport. Hours for The Greater Olean Area Outdoor and RecreationSports Show are from 10-5 on Saturday, September 11th and from 10-4 on Sunday, September 12th. Admission to the show is $3 for adults, $2 for students and seniors. A family pass is also available. You can reach the chamber at (716) 372-4433, or [email protected].

“The Tour of Interesting Homes is a wonderful opportunity for area residents to enjoy viewing a wide array architectural, historical, and variety of homes,” says Renee Bizzaro, Executive Director of the Literacy Volunteers. “Our defi nition of interesting includes: architecturally, historically, design, and decorated,” Renee says. Of the twelve or so houses on the tour several will be completely open for tours, while at others the grounds may be open or certain sections of the house. Tickets are available for $15 advance sale at the Olean Historical Society (The Bartlett House) and $20 the day of the event at the various homes. Registration begins at 10:30am the day of the tour. A descriptive booklet and map will be provided with the tickets. (See full story, page 9.)

BY DEAN WHITCOMB

On Tuesday, August 31, 2010, an interesting visitor made its way through the village of Ellicottville. A unique vehicle of Swedish design was seen in the parking lot along side of Coffee Culture and Subway. The vehicle seats two people and has a trailer covered in solar panels and housing a small wind turbine. The car itself is powered only by solar energy and the wind, making it entirely self-propelled. The purpose of the construction and mode of operation for the car was to create a vehicle that depended solely on the environment without the depletion of natural resources nor the emission of CO2.

The vehicle is in the middle of a voyage around the world as a part of a project known as “ICare.” The mission of the project is to obtain information about foreign nations’ CO2 Compensation Initiatives. Two reporters will journey through

30 countries around the world in this self-suffi cient vehicle. As to what brought the car through the Village of Ellicottville currently remains a mystery, as neither of the operators were available for comment.

Bonagany Street Festival will take place Saturday, September 25 from 11am-5pm on West Main Street in Olean. This family festival is complete with music, food and entertainment, intended to promote friendship between Saint Bonaventure University and the Allegany Community. Features include Franciscan Friars’ Historical displays and a student club and organizational fair, food, free entertainment for all ages, live bands, infl atable entertainment for kids, and fi ne artistry. Allegany area restaurants will be showcasing their favorite dishes for all to enjoy. Local businesses will also display unique merchandise at their sidewalk sales.

Having a good time to help a good cause, ERA Vacation Properties hosted their fi rst annual “Agents of Hope” Scramble Golf Tournament on Wednesday to benefi t the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA), specifi cally the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Division. Throughout the golf tournament, ERA raised $15,000.

Remember the days when oil derricks dotted the landscape? Or perhaps it’s the stories told by a grandfather, brother, or uncle who worked on a “lease.” You can relive those days through a new book titled Pennsylvania Crude: Boomtowns and Oil Barons.

For younger folks, September signals the beginning of high school dances, football games, bonfi res, hanging with your buddies and generally, a whole bunch of fun and silly trauma. Even as adults, we still share the same feelings of eagerness when September rolls around. I’d like to think it’s more than relief the kids are fi nally going back to school. The cool mornings and warm sunny days mean another autumn season is upon us, and another all-too-brief Fall is just around the corner. It’s a great time to go pick some apples, take a walk in the woods, or enjoy a crisp white wine while watching a beautiful sunset. Good stuff… This Labor Day weekend there’s plenty to do around

here to start your autumn offin grand style. I’m planningon heading down to Portville’sPfeiffer Nature Center to checkout one of their free guidednature walks – if you’ve neverbeen to this beautiful place inthe woods you need to makea point to do so. And Sundaysome friends and I are headingover to Golden Hill to doa little mountain biking ontheir wonderful single track.Exercise in the great outdoors– does it get any better?Sounds like a winner to me! So, dear readers – time toshift gears and get ready forwhatever you like best aboutthe change in seasons. As longas you take advantage of theseawesome surroundings, youcan’t go wrong! Until nextweek… JZ

NIAGARA FALLS, NY-Seneca Gaming Corporation made a donation of $150,000 to the Seneca Diabetes Foundation Endowment Fund on Monday, August 23, 2010, immediately following the sixth annual Seneca Diabetes Foundation Golf Classic – which was hosted by Niagara Falls Country Club and Seneca Hickory Stick Golf Course. The annual donation provides funding for critical research, recruitment of leading pediatric endocrinologists, mentoring and internship opportunities, and direct patient care for Seneca Nation members. Pictured left to right are: Cathy Walker, president and CEO, Seneca Gaming Corporation; Barry E. Snyder, Sr., president, Seneca Nation of Indians, and; Kevin W.

Sean Patrick McGraw returns to The Gin Mill for an acoustic appearance on Friday, September 3. In 2009, McGraw came to Ellicottville fresh from having completed 25 dates as opener on country superstar Toby Keith’s “America’s Toughest Tour.” Indeed, 2009 was a banner year for the Fredonia, NY native. That May the video for his song “Dollar Ain’t Worth a Dime” premiered on CMT. Seizing on this momentum, McGraw and band were hastily added to Country mega-concert “Stage Coach” in Indio CA, opening for Brad Paisley, Kid Rock and others. A rave of the bands performance from LA Times reviewer August Brown, combined with personal kudos from AEG president Randy Phillips then

Special Guest At The Gin MillSean Patrick McGraw To Play Live This Friday at 8:30pm

resulted in an invitation from Keith’s management to open three shows at the beginning of the tour. Response to those performances, such as Wilkes-Barre Times-Leader reviewer Brad Patton noting “the real surprise was the strong opening set from Sean Patrick McGraw. Most of those in attendance had probably never heard of

him before Saturday, but hewon over many with his greatsongs and even greater stagepresence. “ kept the singer andhis band of fellow Western-New Yorkers out with Keithand company most of thesummer, squeezing in timefor a network debut on ABC’s“Jimmy Kimmel Live” alongthe way.

BRADFORD, Pa. - Remember the days when oil derricks dotted the landscape? Or perhaps it’s the stories told by a grandfather, brother, or uncle who worked on a “lease.” You can relive those days through a new book titled Pennsylvania Crude: Boomtowns and Oil Barons. The 116-page coffee table-style book, published by Forest Press, a division of the Allegheny National Forest Visitors Bureau, takes the reader on a pictorial tour of the oil industry in the Pennsylvania Field from discovery and boom eras through the resurgence occurring today. The book details the oil stories from within the counties of McKean, Warren, Crawford, Venango, Butler in Pennsylvania and Allegany County in New York. Pennsylvania Crude: Boomtowns and Oil Barons features present-day fi ne art photography from the region along with a wide selection of historic photos. The book is divided into six sections: Seeps and Pits, Discovery, Boomtowns, From Mud to Market, A Second Boom and The Next Well. It’s a trip back in time where words like moonlighters and yellow dog were developed and towns such as Bradford, Warren, Derrick City, Titusville, Chicora, Tidioute, Richburg and Oil City were put on the map. “Whenever there was a series of gushers, it was referred to as the ‘excitement,’” said Linda Devlin, executive director of the Allegheny National Forest Visitors Bureau. “We are equally excited to bring this book to the people who are interested in the oil industry, past and present. This book was done to honor those who lived, breathed and died in

Pennsylvania CrudeBoomtowns & Oil Barons Revives the “Excitement”

the oil industry. They had oil coursing through their veins. What would this area be without them?” Readers will also see the faces of the oil industry. A portrait section shows a variety of people associated with the industry from those who work out in the fi eld to professors who teach about it. This hard-cover book introduces the reader to such characters as Mary Alford, a woman who ran a nitroglycerin factory outside of Eldred. And no book that includes the oil industry in McKean County would be complete without Lewis Emery, who fought John D. Rockefeller. The Bradford Club is also featured as well as Music Mountain. There’s also a section titled “Gushers in Tuna Valley” which includes such places as Tarport, Derrick City and the Bradford Oil Exchange. “We wanted to share never before told stories about the oil industry, the Pennsylvania Field and its local and national impact,” said Devlin, who spearheaded the project. “This publication is a collectible item for anyone interested in how the oil industry shaped Pennsylvania as well as southern New York.” Ed Bernik, an award-winning photographer from North East, captured the images in the publication. He also supplied photos for the companion DVD. The research and text was done by Paul Adomites and editor Jim Gates. The foreword was written by Harvey Golubock, president and chief operating offi cer of American Refi ning Group – the oldest continuous running refi nery in the United States. The companion DVD titled “Pennsylvania Crude: The

Road Trip” includes various places of interest in all of the counties, including museums, parks and other attractions. The DVD won a multitude of awards, including Best of Show, at the ADDY Awards in Erie. The ADDY Awards are sponsored by the Advertising Federation of Northwestern Pennsylvania. The ADDY Awards recognizes all forms of advertising. Pennsylvania Crude: Boomtowns and Oil Barons is a collaborative effort between Allegheny National Forest Visitors Bureau, Butler County Tourism & Convention Bureau, Crawford County Convention & Visitors Bureau, Oil Region Alliance of Business, Industry & Tourism, Warren County Visitors Bureau and the Allegany County (N.Y.) Offi ce of Development. “This project could not have been done without all of the partners’ input,” Devlin said. “A lot of hard work and determination went into this project, hours of volunteer time from individuals, local historical societies, and museums helped make this book what it is today – a great piece of art that tells the history of oil.” The book is available for $39.95 plus tax through the Allegheny National Forest Visitors Bureau, the offi cial tourism promotion agency for McKean County, at 80 E. Corydon St., Bradford, or by calling 800-473-9370, or by e-mailing [email protected]. Future plans include promoting the history of this region via national distribution of the book, and utilizing the driving tours developed for the “Pennsylvania Crude: The Road Trip” to promote travel into our region.

Pennsylvania Crude: Boomtowns and Oil Barons features present-day fi ne art photography from the region along with a wide selection of historic photos. The book is divided into six sections: Seeps and Pits, Discovery, Boomtowns, From Mud to Market, A Second Boom and The Next Well.

Her background in the sciences as well as both her Franciscan experience and background in Franciscan Studies afford us a unique opportunity as a campus community to critically and carefully consider our individual and communal commitment to creating a sustainable future,” said Br. F. Edward Coughlin, O.F.M., vice president for Franciscan Mission at St. Bonaventure. “She is a delightful person and I look forward to hearing the different presentations she will be making.” Sr. Mary Elizabeth is vice president of Mission Integration and Ministry at the University of St. Francis, Joliett, Ill., and a member of the Franciscan Sisters of the Sacred Heart in Frankfort, Ill.

BRADFORD, Pa. – Kong Ho, associate professor of art at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford, master muralist and Fulbright Scholar, has spent 2010 so far spreading his colorful artwork around the globe. Ho taught in Bulgaria, presented papers at conferences in Athens and Washington, D.C., orchestrated the creation of a mural in Columbus, Ohio, for the 20th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, designed and painted a mural layout for a community mural in Philadelphia and traveled to Hong Kong and China, where he conducted research on Buddhist grotto art and created another school mural. From February through mid-July, Ho taught mural painting in the mural painting department of the National Academy of Art in Sofi a, Bulgaria, on a Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program Lecturing Award. Although he has traveled extensively in Asia and North America, it was Ho’s fi rst stay in Eastern Europe, and he commented on some of the cultural differences in the former communist country. Ho said that compared to neighboring countries of Romania and Macedonia, Bulgaria is well-off. That’s not to say that the country is rolling in dough. It’s defi nitely not. Many of the municipal niceties we take for granted aren’t observed, Ho said, like shoveling snow. For Ho, who had polio as a child and walks using leg braces, this was a particular problem. “There is little care for those with disabilities,” he said. “I had to take taxis or get help getting onto buses.” He also discovered large differences in the lives of teaching artists. For starters, he had to fi nd an organization to fund the mural he was to paint with his students. Ho used his

Art Professor Travels World Pitt-Brad Professor Spreads Artwork Around The Globe

Fulbright allowance to order the materials for the mural. He was surprised to fi nd that faculty members don’t have their own offi ces and that students do most of their work at home because studio space is rented out by the university for revenue. As a result, some professors teach from their own homes, where it is acceptable to smoke or even drink alcohol while working. English-speaking students helped facilitate the discussion, which started pretty slow, Ho said. At fi rst, students had a hard time thinking of more than American fast food. Eventually, they chose to represent the United States with the Statue of Liberty, which underscored the friendship between the United States and Europe, a bald eagle, Native American patterns, U.S. fl ag painted and a Coca-Cola logo. For Bulgaria, students chose to depict Sofi a, the statue of knowledge and wisdom, a lion memorial representing the unknown soldiers, an ancient Bulgarian double-headed eagle, Cyrillic text and various traditional Bulgarian patterns. The students had not used acrylic paints, so he taught them techniques for mixing the paint with gel. He said they are also not used to working together. When not working on the mural, Ho spent some time

researching contemporary Bulgarian muralists and invited Prof. Oleg Gotchev, head of the mural program at the National Academy, to exhibit his work at Pitt-Bradford next spring. Ho also took time out from his stay in Bulgaria to present a paper about the collaborative mural he painted with students in Blaisdell Hall on campus at the First Annual International Conference on Fine and Performing Arts in Athens. Ho and his wife, Dr. Martie Geiger-Ho, visiting professor of art, also traveled to the VSA International Art Conference held at The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., to lecture on “Mural Painting as Inclusive Arts Learning,” focusing on the mural he created with students at Floyd C. Fretz Middle School last year. VSA is the international organization on arts and disability. At the same conference, Ho took part in a multimedia performance and discussion, “Stones Floating on Water,” which is a multimedia performance exploring the nature of disability through personal stories and work. After returning to the United States, Ho traveled to Columbus, where he created a mural with other VSA Ohio’s artists with disabilities that will travel the state this year in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the ADA.

Eventually, they chose to represent the United States with the Statue of Liberty, which underscored the friendship between the United States and Europe, a bald eagle, Native American patterns, U.S. fl ag painted and a Coca-Cola logo.

Having a good time to help a good cause, ERA Vacation Properties hosted their fi rst annual “Agents of Hope” Scramble Golf Tournament on Wednesday to benefi t the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA), specifi cally the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Division. Throughout the golf tournament, ERA raised $15,000. “We exceeded our goals and are thrilled to present $15,000 to the ALS Division of MDA,” Hanna Soffel said. The event not only had a business reason behind it, but a personal one as well. “ERA as a whole really encourages all of their franchises to do something, typically a golf tournament, to raise money for MDA,” said Soffel, part of the organizational team. “And the reason we choose to support ALS specifi cally is because my Dad, Bill Soffel, who owns the company, his grandmother passed away of ALS in 1987 and then my grandparents had a friend who was diagnosed with ALS and passed away about 5 years ago … so we thought it would be a good cause to support.” ALS, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, occurs when damage is done

to someone’s motor neurons, as explained by Soffel; “(ALS) is a disease of the motor neurons, which are the nerve cells that control voluntary muscle movement. They are not sure why this occurs, but the motor neurons die and the muscles they control become weak and then paralyzed.” The golf tournament featured many different activities during the tournament for adults to enjoy, including a “Jell-O shot” hole, an on-course Mojito bar and a bidding hole, which was a $5 bet to hit the green on the fi rst time, and if they did they won double their money. “Just fun, little extra ways to raise money,” Soffel said. The fundraiser, which occurred at the Chautauqua Golf Club, also had many informational displays that included information about the symptoms and the disease itself. After receiving the diagnosis, those suffering from ALS usually live three to fi ve years; however, a rare few live a decade or longer. “It is a really sad disease because even though your muscles don’t work, your brain is still fully functioning,” Soffel said. Soffel hopes to continue the tournament and bring awareness of the disease to the surrounding community. “The tournament is a really exciting opportunity for our company and our family to let people learn about ALS as a disease and provide a way

for our communities (to know more) … it’s a good way to bring everyone together and raise money for this good cause,” Soffel said. The overall winning team was James Campbell, Jane Campbell, Raymond Ayers and Kathleen Ayers. The top women’s team was Judy Briggs, Martha Pashley, Cindy Janson and Ann Wallace. The top co-ed team was Mindy Weaver, Krystal Waite, Joe Colosimo and Vivian Swan. For those who wish to donate to the ALS division or fi nd out more information about next year’s tournament are to call Wayne Weaver at 716-789-2600 or e-mail him at [email protected]. Note from ERA: We would like to thank Troy Moss and the Chautauqua Golf Club, Andriaccio’s and the agents and staff of ERA Vacation Properties for all of the support in making this tournament a success. We would also like to thank all of our many sponsors for their generous donations. As this was our fi rst year hosting the Agents of Hope Golf Tournament, we hope that many more people will become interested in taking part in this wonderful event in the future. For more information or to learn how to participate in next year’s tournament call or email Wayne Weaver: 716-664-1339 or [email protected].

AT BRADFORD

If you are looking for fresh fruit, produce and specialty ice cream treats stop by Randolph Peaches & Cream. Owner Gary Boser said the store, which opened for business May 1, features homegrown fruits and vegetables, Cuba Cheese, Amish jams and candies, and Amish canned goods.

He added that they specialize in making sundaes mixed with the homegrown fruit, using Hershey Brand ice cream. Depending on the season, you may fi nd peach, cherry and apple cinnamon sundaes on the specialty treats menu at Randolph Peaches & Cream, Boser said. He added that the majority of the fruit and vegetables are locally grown, within 30 miles of the store, with most coming from Eden, Conewango

Valley and Randolph. Boser said he saw a sign with the words Peaches & Cream on another store, and that the name just stuck with him. “I thought it was a perfect name for a store,” he said. “It’s been a dream of mine for 20 years to own a store like this, and recently I’ve had the opportunity to start this business,” Boser said. Boser said that he is the third generation of his family growing and selling produce, and that he has been doing this his whole life. He said he fi rst started selling produce in Randolph out of the back of a pickup truck 20 years ago when he was a kid, and later began selling fl owers for Easter and Mother’s Day. He said that as a child he also helped his grandfather and father sell at fl ea markets, and worked at his father’s fruit market in Bradford, Pa. He said after his father passed away his brother took over the Bradford market, so he decided to start a new business in Randolph. He chose Randolph because of his history with the town, and because he has a number of aunts, uncles and cousins in the area to help him; three of his cousins are now working for him. “Everybody in Randolph has been good to me,” Boser said. He added that the town helped him get his business started, and that the people have been supportive and helpful. Randolph Peaches & Cream offers its customers outdoor seating at picnic tables and ample parking. The store features a well-stocked indoor display,

STORY AND PHOTOSBY JOHN THOMAS

There’s and old axiom that goes something like, “If you want a house to be exactly what you want, you have to build it yourself.” That may be, but building a house yourself means dealing with contractors, permits, painters, decorators, and a whole host of folks you don’t even want to think about. But, I’m here to tell you about a house that looks and feels like fresh construction, but is just old enough that it doesn’t still reek of fresh paint. Built three years ago but barely lived in since; the house seems almost unoccupied because the owner spends only a few of the summer months in the house each year. Most of the rooms are furnished just enough for convenience and comfort, and there is a decided lack of “stuff” around. The homeowner greets me at the front door and the fi rst impression I get upon stepping in is a new and pristine interior. The foyer is two stories tall and lit with an overhead window and a chrome and glass chandelier. Stepping on the tile fl oor, there is just the slightest trace of “empty home echo.” Crossing into the living room the sensation of newness continues. The living room is large enough that the wide screen TV over the fi replace doesn’t dominate the

room. The gas fi red fi replace is encased in a beautiful wood hearth. The carpeting is deep pile, and plush. The windows on all three sides look out to the fi elds surrounding the house. It’s a room that speaks of comfort and relaxation. Just off the end of the living room is a built-in desk for establishing a home offi ce or a least a computer for the cook. Here also is a half bath with a closet. The kitchen resides between the breakfast nook and the dining room. The long and lean look of the kitchen is accented by the work counter that runs down the middle. The fl oor is beautiful hardwood that perfectly accents the oak cabinetry. The counters are an off-white composite that compliment the white and sparkling new appliances. My tour guide confesses that in the three years she has lived here part time she has yet to turn on the oven. The sliding glass door in the breakfast nook leads out to the back yard. At the far end of the kitchen is the formal dining room. An alcove with windows gives the room a grace note of simple sophistication; and the chandelier and hardwood fl oor would give any dining room set an elegant stage. Upstairs is the master bedroom and two other bedrooms. The master suite is roomy and well laid-out. The newness of the

place is re-enforced when I notice the wide screen TV is still wrapped in its protective plastic. At the far end of the room is a short hallway that leads to a sunny alcove that, like the dining room, has three windows. The alcove can be an offi ce, reading nook, or exercise area. The view from the alcove windows looks over to the slopes of HoliMont. In the hallway are two large walk-in closets with lights. The master bath includes a large tub, and shower stall. The window looks out to the two ponds that are just off the property. There is another full bath and a laundry room

on the second fl oor as well. This may seem a bit eccentric, until the owner explains to me that most laundry is generated in the bedrooms, and why haul the clothes up and down the stairs? Back on the ground fl oor I fi nd an over-sized one car garage. While there is not room for a second car there is plenty of room for a work bench, and every sort of lawn care apparatus you can imagine. Over the garage is an unfi nished room that can be used for storage. Outside I pause at the front deck to enjoy the view of HoliMont. Along with this house are nine other lots for sale. They extend

Walking around the back there is a generous back yard and plenty of space for a deck with a barbeque and hot tub. With its large rooms, sensible layout and good as new appearance this home is tabularasa; a blank slate waiting for thenew owner to come and add their fi nal personal touches to make it truly their own. If you’d like to add your inspiration to this home contact Melanie Pritchard at ERA Vacation Properties 716-480-8409.

Here we go again. As a native of Salamanca and a lifelong friend to many members of the Seneca Nation, I’ve grown accustomed to the lies and misrepresentations of state and federal offi cials in their attempts to violate the law by collecting taxes from the nation. Now, in their latest attempt to repair the damages caused by shady political deals and bad bookkeeping, the state of New York, with the blessing of a lame duck governor, is about to try again. Regardless of how much money the nation pumps into the state economy ($700 million since 2001 in slot machine revenue) they want more. They always want more. There’s a lot more at stake here than cigarette money. Trust me. I may live in Ellicottville but Salamanca is my home and always will be. I know how much our little city relies on native-owned businesses. When I was young, let’s say around seven or eight, after the railroads left town and before the Nation started selling tax-free smokes and gasoline, Salamanca was on the verge of extinction. The

only businesses in town that made any money were the bars. Our unemployment rate, per capita, was among the highest in the state. Life for the Seneca’s was dire. They were still recovering from the mother of all broken treaties, the one that displaced several hundred families when they were forcibly removed from their homes during construction of the Kinzua Damn. Entire communities were drowned under mother commerce. Then they were told that they would have to give up even more of their land so that pot holed monstrosity known as I-86 could be constructed on tribal land. They rebounded with the sales of tax-free smokes and fuel but, as I said, the state always wants more. What bothers me most about attempts to force a sovereign nation to collect and pay taxes, is the smarmy misrepresentation and, in some cases, outright racism leveled at the Seneca’s. I’ve heard over and over again that they should start taking care of themselves if they want to be left alone. They should stop expecting handouts if they have nothing to contribute. They should stop relying on taxpayer money. The state never acknowledges the contributions the Nation has made to its people and, believe it or not, to the very state government that continually attempts to break the sacred treaties. The Salamanca police department doesn’t have to worry about guarding the site of the Philadelphia Furniture factory fi re because the Seneca Marshall service is doing it. Our city’s ambulance service always

knows that the Nationsambulance service is thereto back them up. Our schoolsystem has seen millions ofdollars pumped into it as aresult of Salamanca’s casinorevenue donated by theNation. The theatre upgradeson Main St. were partiallyfunded by the Nation. Theyhave begun to provide theirown water to their peopleand they have constructedtheir own medical centerand, as I’ve mentionedbefore, $700 million dollarshave been paid out to thestate since 2001. How manyother state taxpayers havecontributed that amount? But they want more. Everybusiness owner in NewYork knows what a hassleit is. The state is constantlysticking its fingers in thecookie jar. Most businessesnever have to face thehostility and racism that thetribes have been forced toaccept. Mayor Bloomberg,mayor of the city thatreceives most of the statestax dollars, says that theGovernor should don acowboy hat and sit on thethruway with a shotgun. Hemight as well suggest thatthey send the Nation a fewSmall Pox-infected blanketswhile he’s at it. I’ve heardit suggested that the Tribecould make up for it’s lostrevenue by selling trinketsto tourists like many of theimpoverished western tribesdo. My suggestion to themayor and to all those whoexpect the Seneca Nationto simply roll over is this;stock up on canned goodsbecause the Seneca Nationof Indians will never rollover again. Not now.

Learn to Love Your Body!

We have all heard it, love yourself, accept who you are, and learn to love your body. On the contrary social media suggests otherwise bombarding us with messages and images about getting thinner, transforming your body shape, and engaging in body enhancing treatments. We see and hear these messages everywhere we go. I wonder if anyone has considered the fact that we are not all supposed look the same. We are all built differently and for a good reason- to distinguish ourselves with

BY DR. DIONNE KRESS

our unique character. We are each born with a genetically inherited body type; therefore, we need to lose the social stigmas and unrealistic expectations and truly begin to love our bodies. Not all females are intended to be thin and not all males are supposed to be sculpted and muscular. These idealistic shapes and sizes are often viewed as the “perfect body” by society because social media has managed to convince us that body shape and size are completely under our control. If you want to free yourself of your insecurities and negative body image, you need to let go of the socially imposed ideal. Learn to accept and love the shape and size of your body. Know that we are not all meant to be fashion models. Our body shape and size is a reflection of our eating habits, how much we exercise, and our genetics- we are not ALL meant to be thin but we ALL can be healthy. To begin the process of accepting your body shape and size, and start feeling good about how

you look begin to take care of yourself. Pay attention to what you eat and how much you exercise. Optimal health and wellness is about how you feel not about what society suggests you look like. Feel good about you and practice a healthy lifestyle regardless of your inherited body type and societal standards. Genetics may determine how you look and predetermine where you carry fat stores and muscle mass, but only you can be appreciative of your unique body type and treat yourselfwith respect. If you respondpositively to your uniquebody, start taking good careof yourself you will feel goodno matter what shape and size you are. Developing a positive and healthy image of yourselfand learning to love yourbody is the initial step towardachieving an optimal state ofhealth and wellness. When youhave self-worth and respect for your body, accepting its uniqueness only then will you be able to make good decisions that will lead to a healthy lifestyle- ultimately loving your body.

My name is Erica Walker. I am 35 years old.

To the world you may be just one person, but to one person, you just may be the world. Thank you from the Western New York Kidney Connection.

I have most recently been attending Erie Community College in hopes of attaining my Registered Nursing degree. I have about another year before I complete it. However, I’ve decided to take a break from it while attending to my most recent illness. I am trying to be brave and stay healthy enough until I can receive a kidney transplant. Doctors say I’m fairly young to be diagnosed with CKD. I have been receiving dialysis treatments for about a year now. I worked at Interstate Baking Company for 10 years prior to the plant closing a few years back. They made Wonder Bread and Hostess products right here in Buffalo, NY. My boyfriend, Jim, and I have recently purchased and moved into our fi rst home. We’re very excited. Our plans are to marry and raise a family here in Cheektowaga. If you are blood type “A” and would like to be Erica’s living kidney donor, please call Jeanette Ostrom at 716-450-8958 or e-mail Erica at [email protected]

looking for something different to do, or to learn a new sport, or to sharpen your skill in a given sport. If that sounds like you, then “come on down!” The scuba lessons are something new: they’ll be offered by J&D Scuba Shop of Allegany, who were interested last year, but couldn’t make it because the timing was off. There are currently no chemicals in the pool at the William O. Smith Recreation Center, making conditions “ideal.” A 45-minute lesson will give you an idea of what the sport is like, according to Yanetsko, “especially if you’re unsure of yourself with all that equipment on you.” You might then be encouraged to try scuba diving in the ocean. All scuba gear will be provided, and pre-registration is required. Also,

you must be at least fi fteen years old (with parent). Don’t forget your swimsuit! Also attending this year’s show are the Twin Tiers Striders: a group of fi tness buffs who work out of the Olean-Bradford YMCA. They’ll present what they call a Camoufl age Run - which is a 5k race and walk where last year they gave out camoufl age shirts to all the runners. “This year they’re giving out camoufl age socks.” You’ll also fi nd the Enchanted Mountain 3-D Archery Stadium Shootout, sponsored by the Chamber and Windfall Archery. You can take aim at lifelike animal targets. “Just bring your own archery equipment with you to Bradner Stadium,” Saturday at 11 a.m. The “Call Off” is an opportunity to test your duck, goose, and turkey calling skills. The contest is being put on by Southern Tier Outfi tters. Questions should be directed to Craig Southard at 716-244-7454.

Skateboarders and bikers are invited to try out the Fly Box provided by Allegany Skate Park. Other activities include an Off Road Course to test drive an ATV in War Vets Park, courtesy of Charley’s Cycle Center. Also, Lake Lane resort will create a fi shing pond in the park. WPIG and Home Depot invite deer hunters to display their mounted trophies on the Bragging Wall. Finally, there’s a Dog Retriever Challenge starting at noon on Sunday where dog handlers can experience “real hunting situations.” If interested, contact dog retriever trainer Jim Beverly by e-mail at [email protected]. Hours for The Greater Olean Area Outdoor and Recreation Sports Show are from 10-5 on Saturday, September 11th and from 10-4 on Sunday, September 12th. Admission to the show is $3 for adults, $2 for students and seniors. A family pass is also available. You can reach the chamber at (716) 372-4433, or [email protected].

After a two year stint in Ellicottville, the annual Literacy Volunteers Tour of Interesting Homes benefi t will move on to feature homes in Olean. The tour has been running annually for the past seven or eight years and each year presents homes in different parts of Cattaraugus County. The tour included homes in Ellicottville three years ago, but when the tour was over, so many local homeowners came forward to offer their homes for the tour, that the group decided to hold the tour in Ellicottville again last year. For this, the seventh year of the tour it moves back to Olean.“The Tour of Interesting Homes is a wonderful opportunity for area residents to enjoy viewing a wide array architectural, historical, and variety of homes,” says Renee Bizzaro, Executive Director of the Literacy Volunteers. “Our defi nition of interesting includes: architecturally, historically, design, and decorated,” Renee says. Of the twelve or so houses on the tour several will be completely open for tours, while at others the grounds may be open or certain sections of the house. “At least one portion of every home will be available to those who are participating,” Renee tells me. One of the

intriguing homes on the tour is a restored Victorian, “much of the original charm is there, so architecturally it’s very interesting and inside there’s a wonderful array of collectables and memorabilia from the homeowner.” The tour runs Saturday September 11th from 11am to 5pm. Tickets are available for $15 advance sale at the Olean Historical Society (The Bartlett House) and $20 the day of the event at the various homes. Registration begins at 10:30am the day of the tour. A descriptive booklet and map will be provided with the tickets. The Literacy Volunteers of Cattaraugus County was

founded in 1969 to provided literacy services to adults in the County. Tutors are paired up with an adult learner to help enhance their reading skills. Tutors provide skill in basic adult literacy, math skills, English as a second language and some computer skills. “The majority of our services are provided one on one, with a tutor working directly with a learner, biased on the learners needs.” Renee goes on, ‘We currently have about twenty individuals paired up.” For an opportunity to see some unique houses and help some adults in the county improve their reading skills, be sure to mark your calendar for the tour.

FRANKLINVILLE, NY-August 24, 2010 – The National Grid overhead line construction, maintenance and repair team at the Franklinville service facility in western New York has maintained an impeccable safety record, boasting no loss time incidents for twenty consecutive years. This was accomplished as the team consistently adheres to National Grid’s safety policies and procedures that are established to prevent the potential injuries inherent in working with overhead lines. The current 15-man team at

Franklinville maintains and repairs approximately 1,100 miles of overhead lines serving 16,000 homes and businesses in communities in Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, Allegany and southern Erie Counties, an area often badly affected by severe weather. During the 20-year period, they recorded approximately 1,000,000 hours without work-related incidents that led to employee absence of at least one day.

“This achievement is a

22 Years Of SafetyFranklinville National Grid Crew Maintains Impressive Record

tremendous milestone for the team. It is testimony to their safety conscious approach to working in this integral aspect of our operations,” said Chris Root, National Grid’s senior vice president of electric operations. National Grid hosts regular safety training for all operations employees as part of efforts to promote employee safety in all aspects of the business. The Franklinville team meets frequently to review safety procedures and ensure new team members are informed of “work safe” principles. “Safety is at the core of all our operations; it is a part of every conversation and a vital feature of our organizational culture,” said Paul Cianchetti, National Grid vice president of operations for western New York. “We try to ensure that all employees, not only those working in high-risk areas, observe safety policies and procedures.” The current Franklinville team includes: Dean Companella, from Asford; Brian Cox, Belfast; Christopher Elliot, Oilean; Scott

Hobel and Stephen Machols both from Holland; Joe Judkiewicz, East Concord; Joseph Regan of East Aurora; Nick Saddleson from Farmersville; Kiel Stuhr, Colden; Ron Waldron from Freedom; Don Wirfel, Springville; Mark Zalikowski and Jed Zehnder both from Sardina; and Ronald Stroebel, Mansfi eld.

★ ★ Sudoku Challenge ★ ★To solve a Sudoku puzzle, place a number into each box so that each row across, each column down, and each small 9-box square within the larger diagram (there are 9 of these) will contain every number from 1 through 9. In other words, no number will appear more than once in any row, column, or smaller 9-box square. Working with the numbers already given as a guide, complete each diagram with the missing numbers that will lead to the correct solution.

Good luck!
