Where's the Emergency Snow Plan?
The Buffalo Blizzard placed a huge toll on residents which caused a tragic loss of life, to the residents of our city who lost loved ones during the Christmas Holiday. What lessons were learned from this storm? City officials say the same thing: it was a huge mess to clean up.
I had the opportunity to review the BFD union 282 report of the killer storm that ravished our city. A question on the report simply asks, “is no one responsible for what occurred during the blizzard, that took its toll in lives lost?” Community members, I request that you if you are able, to go online and see with your own eyes the information presented by the fire dept.
As we all know snow storms are nothing new to Buffalo. However The BPD, states that they were not prepared for this storm.The report also states that Buffalo Fire and Police were ill equipped to house stranded residents. Also fire officials state due to the lack of preparations, trucks were stuck in snow and ice. Staffing was also effected due the storm.
The BFD believes that the city should develop a command center to connect city departments with the Emergency manager to coordinate inter departmental efforts. That can be done if the city starts taking money that comes from the federal government and use it for its intended purpose and stop wasting tax payers dollars on certain select parts of the city. I call on the Buffalo Fire Dept to further explain to the residents the neglect of the fire commissioner who was on vacation in Florida when the storm hit. Let's ask him why he has never established an emergency plan for the killer storm of 2022? I’m Just Saying.
BLACK HISTORY: THE OCOEE MASSACRE continued from page 3
Cheney, a White attorney and former judge running for U.S. Senate, strongly encouraged Black residents in Orange County to exercise their right.
India Walton is Qualified to Lead the Masten District!
One should vote for India Walton for Masten District Councilmember if they want a Councilmember who will work with them to improve the quality of life for all who live or work in the district.
I am voting for India Walton because I know she will fight for our fair share of resources from City Hall.
I am voting for India Walton because she has been on the battlefield, side by side with me, as we fought for Cariol Holloman-Horne's Buffalo Police Department's pension and the exoneration of John Walker, Darryl Boyd and the Buffalo 5.
I am voting for India Walton because she marched, hand in hand with me, as we protested the vicious murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis and the murders of numerous, young, Black men in Buffalo.
I am voting for India Walton because my home is now in the Masten District and I want a Councilmember who will fight for my family and community and not align themselves with out of town, special interest groups.
I am voting for India Walton because she is Unbought and Unbossed and will not allow herself to be controlled by corrupt or compromised politicians who do not have the interest of our Eastside communities at heart.
Lucille Clifton remains one of the most important poets of the 20th century. Born in Depew, Clifton grew up on Purdy Street on Buffalo’s East Side and graduated from Fosdick-Masten Park High School (now City Honors). In her lifetime, Clifton published 14 collections of poetry and a memoir edited by Toni Morrison, as well as 18 books for children. Her numerous awards include three Pulitzer Prize nominations, an Emmy Award, a Coretta Scott King Award, and the National Book Award. Clifton was the first Black woman ever to receive the distinguished Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize for lifetime achievement.
The “Spirit of Inspiration” dedication, designed by internationally acclaimed artist Olalekan Jeyifous, inspired by the life and legacy of Lucille Clifton. will be held today (Thursday, June 22 ) at 5:30 p.m. at The Reading Park at Central Library, 1 Lafayette Square.
Cheney received a letter saying if any Black residents attempted to vote “there will be serious trouble.” The daughter of a prominent white Ocoee official would tell a researcher nearly 50 years later that “90 percent of all law enforcement officers, judges, public servants and lawyers in Winter Garden and Ocoee were Klan members.”
The KKK held parades around the state in a show of intimidation three days before the election,” according to historians. The cultural touchstones of the time were being threatened — White supremacy among them. When that happens, it creates angst, sometimes in the form of violence.”
The exact sequence of events on November 2, 1920, but most accounts agree on this montage: Mose Norman pulled his car up to the Ocoee polling precinct that morning to vote. He was denied and drove to Orlando to tell Cheney, who told Norman to go back and take the names of anyone suppressing his right. When Norman returned to Ocoee with Cheney’s message, gunshots were fired. Norman escaped. That night and into the next morning, Col. Sam Salisbury rallied a mob of as many as 200 white men from around the region to find Norman. They surrounded the home of Norman’s friend, July Perry. More gunfire ensued. The people living in Ocoee’s Black community ran for safety. Some were caught. Some were shot. Some were never heard from again.
Perry was beaten, shot, jailed, dragged and lynched.
Stories over the years have said between 30 and 80 Black people died that night. Armstrong Hightower hid in the citrus groves with his sister. His description 80 years later would paint a vivid picture of the particulars and substance: “That’s the night the devil got loose in Ocoee.”
The fires set by the mob burned a hellish hole right through the Black community. Norman fled to Stuckey, Florida, and then to Harlem. Perry’s wife escaped to Tampa with their teenage daughter, Coretha. Another man, John Hickey had to abandon his 120 acres and his dreams.
The 1920 census says 255 Black residents and 560 white residents lived in Ocoee. With-in months of the Election Day massacre, no more than two Black residents remained. From the 1930s into the 1970s, not a single Black person lived in the city. Few would even go near it as the eerie silence permeated the entire region.
Author Zora Neale Hurston penned a story in 1939 titled The Ocoee Riot, which wasn’t published until 1989.
(Excerpted from “The Truth Laid Bare,” a report from Pegasus, the magazine of the University of Central Florida By Robert Stephens)
I am voting for India Walton because she, along with this writer, warned the community about the negative effects of gentrification long before it happened and now many potential homeowners have been priced out of the housing market regardless of whether they want to rent or own their homes. ... Currently, many struggling, low income household families are paying up to 50% of their budget on housing. That is unacceptable, especially when many of the city's poverty stricken children are eating their first and last daily meals at school because the measly allocation of food stamps has long been spent and consumed.
In conclusion, I am voting for India Walton because Masten Matters and it is, once again, time to have a Masten District Councilmember like former Councilmember Antoine Thompson, in Making Things Happen and Getting Things Done.
Early Voting began Saturday, June 17 and continues thru Sunday, June 25th. A voter can vote anywhere there is a voting site in Erie County during the Early Voting period. The Democratic Primary is Tuesday, June 27th. Voters must vote in the election district they reside in, during the primary.
VOTE INDIA WALTON!

Such list contains as to each such parcel (a) a brief description of the property affected by each tax lien, (b) the name of the last known owner of such property as it appears on the latest tax roll in the hands of the Director of Real Property Tax Services or a statement that the owner is unknown if such be the case, (c) a statement of such tax liens upon such parcel of property including any tax sale certificates owned by the County of Erie which shall have been due for less than two years, together with the interest and penalties due as of the list date and (d) a statement that the amount required to redeem any such parcel of property, and the amount to be recovered by the County of Erie, includes all tax sale certificates owned by the County of Erie and affecting such property, together with all interest, penalties, additions and expenses as in this act provided, and also includes an “in rem fee” of $500.00 per parcel to cover the presumptive cost to the County of Erie for reasonable and necessary attorneys’ fees, abstracts of title and other disbursements in connection with such foreclosure pursuant to law.
The above-captioned proceeding was commenced to enforce the payment of delinquent taxes which have accumulated and become liens against certain property. The parcels to which this proceeding applies were identified on the List of Delinquent Taxes which was filed in the Erie County Clerk’s Office on the 4th day of May, 2023. Take further notice that the ownership by the County of the tax sale certificates set forth on the List of Delinquent Taxes is conclusive evidence of the fact that the taxes, assessments and other legal charges represented thereby have not been paid to the County.
EFFECT OF FILING: All persons having or claiming to have an interest in the real property described in the List of Delinquent Taxes are hereby notified that the filing of said List constituted the commencement by the County of Erie of a proceeding in the County Court to foreclose each of the tax liens therein described by a foreclosure proceeding In Rem. Pursuant to Section 11-7.0 of the Erie County Tax Act, the filing of such List of Delinquent Taxes constitutes and has the same force and effect and is deemed to have given the same notice of such foreclosure proceeding as the filing and recording in the Erie County Clerk’s Office of an individual Notice of Pendency of a Tax Foreclosure Action and of the filing in the County Court of a separate and individual Complaint by the County of Erie against the owners of the real property proceeded against and
described in the List of Delinquent Taxes.
NATURE OF PROCEEDING: This proceeding is brought against the real property only and is to foreclose the tax liens described in the List of Delinquent Taxes. No personal judgment will be entered herein for such liens/taxes or other legal charges or any part thereof.
PERSONS AFFECTED: This notice is directed to all persons having or claiming to have an interest in the real property described in the List of Delinquent Taxes. Such persons are hereby notified further that a duplicate of this Petition and the List of Delinquent Taxes has been filed in the Erie County Clerk’s Office and the Office of Real Property Tax Services and will remain open for public inspection up to and including the date specified below as the last day of redemption.
RIGHT OF REDEMPTION: Any person having or claiming to have an interest in any such real property and the legal right thereto may on or before the 5th day of July, 2023 redeem the same by paying the amount of all such unpaid tax liens thereon, including all interest and penalties and other legal charges which are included in the lien against such real property, computed to and including the date of redemption.
Payments shall be made to: Director of Real Property Tax Services, Rath Building, 95 Franklin Street, Buffalo, New York, 14202, by CASH, CERTIFIED CHECK, BANK CHECK or MONEY ORDER. In the event that such tax liens are paid by a person other than the record owner of such real property, the person so paying shall be entitled to have the tax liens affected thereby satisfied of record or to receive an assignment of such tax liens evidenced by a proper written instrument.
LAST DAY OF REDEMPTION: The last day of redemption is hereby fixed as the 5th day of July, 2023.
SERVICE OF ANSWER: Every person having any right, title or interest in or lien upon any parcel of real property described in the List of Delinquent Taxes may serve a duly verified Answer upon the attorney for the Tax District, as set forth below, setting forth in detail the nature and amount of his or her interest, and any defense or objection to the foreclosure.
