Nation breaks ground for early childhood center

Baseball merger under way: C-LV and Salamanca

By Larry Wroblewski NEWS STAFF REPORTER

“This is the act of a sovereign nation. We are going to have a strong role in the education of our youth. They will know our laws and understand our treaties,” said Sue John-Blacksnake, an educational advocate from the Seneca Nation's Allegany Territory.

John-Blacksnake was just one of a series of speakers helping break ground for a new 86,000-square-foot Early Childhood Learning Center on the nation's Cattaraugus Territory.

Architectural plans for the complex were only completed a little over a month ago; however, Tribal Councilor Nikki Seneca said the need for a new building became evident years ago.

“Since the current building opened, there has been a waiting list for enrollment,” she said.

According to Seneca, the new building will have room for 400 children, up considerably from the 179 spots the current center offers. “We needed to start fresh,” Seneca said, “Expansion of the existing building was not feasible.”

This new center will contain 22 classrooms. It will also

At the regular meeting of the Cattaraugus-Little Valley Board of Education, held on Tuesday, Oct. 13, the board had a lengthy discussion with C-LVCS Athletic Director Matthew Minnekine and Baseball Coach Chuck Senn regarding a merger of varsity baseball with Salamanca City School.

Board member Eric Pritchard began the conversation with the inquiry of the possibility of a JV team merger, along with the varsity team.

Senn responded to Pritchard saying, “That’s my hope. Do we have the numbers right now? We really don’t know.

Are we going to push for a JV team? Yes.” Minnekine said, “If it looks like a JV team would be viable, we could get a schedule … once varsity is approved; the JV talk needs to be done immediately.”

Pritchard said that was his main concern, that the conversation was not held regarding a JV team, and there would be sophomores who would not be able to play at all.

Board President Cheryl Wilder said she understands that the interest numbers are low, therefore that was why no JV team was discussed. Senn and Minnekine agreed that Wilder’s understanding is correct.

Superintendent Jon Peterson also chimed in, saying that even if both schools are interested in a JV team, there is just not enough interest at this time to have a JV team. When the season starts, Peterson said, maybe there would be enough interested.

Again, he noted that interest at the time of the decision is a necessity, and there are no numbers to support the decision about establishing a JV team.

Pritchard’s rebuttal was that although there are six students from last year’s team at Salamanca, that does not mean there is a solid commitment from those students and parents to join the team again this year.

The board later approved the merger of varsity baseball with Salamanca City School.

Continuing on to the Superintendent’s report, Peterson began by mentioning the Superinten-

DIG IN — Youngsters with plastic hand shovels enjoyed digging into the dirt as much as Seneca Nation officials did at the ground breaking for a new Early Childhood Education Center on Oct. 14. offer classroom space for the language department as well as physical and occupational therapy. A large commons area will provide a place for natural play and the structure will have its own gym.

Located directly behind the Nation's Cattaraugus Community Center, the choice of site was no accident, according to Seneca President Barry E. Snyder Sr. “The location is significant and works with the master plan for the territory,” he said, “Being next to the CCC complements the programs

at both." Snyder also pointed to a designated conservation area close by that will offer educational opportunities to the young people attending.

But perhaps more important to Snyder was “The Education and Language departments will bring this building to life.

That will continue to establish Seneca as our main language.”

Chad Nephew serves as assistant to the Education Director for the Nation. He was all smiles at the ceremony and noted the impact he expects to see from the new center, “Some of those attending enter as infants and

leave at age 12, that's a big window,” Nephew said.

James E. LaPosta Jr. is principal chief architectural officer for JCJ Architecture of Hartford, Conn.

LaPosta's firm has been involved with many early childhood facilities across the U.S. He said it's been great working with the Senecas in not only designing a building but trying to capture the Seneca culture in it. “We have designed this building to be unlike any

Disaster Coordinator Nick Crassi gives update on FEMA status

By Mary Pankow NEWS EDITOR

Disaster Coordinator Nick Crassi gave the Gowanda Village Board an update on the progress being made regarding FEMA and the 2009 flood damage at the board's Oct. 14 meeting.

After informing the board that the original FEMA representative was no longer in the area, Crassi said he would be meeting with the new rep on Oct. 15. In addition, he would be meeting with the engineers on that day as well.

Crassi said that the Point Peter Reservoir Project Worksheet (PW) is under way and samples

were taken at the site. Also, after examining Thatcher Brook, five areas needing remediation were identified.

Crassi poses "What if" scenarios, he said.

If the water pumps go down, Crassi said he would have replacement pumps at his disposal. The motor, however, is OK, and has many hours of use left before any thought of replacing it. He estimates that the village would have - should there be any problem - roughly a five-day supply of water.

The water lines of the spring boxes have been cleaned out also, Crassi said. "We can take the spring water directly to the spring boxes to the pump

house and the village would still be able to have water," Crassi noted.

Having informed the board of this, he mentioned that the reservoir project could possibly wait until spring due to time and/or weather constraints.

The alternative would be that the village shoulder the cost of cleaning just the reservoir and around the reservoir.

When asked if the village is still in a state of emergency, Crassi said that he replies, "Yes, we are, because [the reservoir] is a major supply [of water] for the village." He feels that this will be the case until the regular water supply is up and running.

Regarding the chlorine equip-

ment that was down at the sewer plant, Crassi said that the equipment had to be switched over to the well.

The roads and streets PW was sent on to FEMA. However, Crassi is asking the public for photos of the flood-damaged streets - before and after the flood - to be dropped off at the village office in the Municipal Building. He explained that while plenty of footage was filmed at the time of the flood, photo prints are needed. The streets of concern are as follows: North Chapel, North Water, College, St. John's, Aldrich, School and Center. (For more information, call 532-3353.)

dent of Buildings and Grounds position will be open after this year, as Dale Perkins told him this was his last year, after being with the district for 17 years.

Peterson suggested a salary range of $50,000 to $55,000 a year after comparing other districts similar in size that have hired in the last three years.

Next in his report, Peterson mentioned the Smart Schools Bond Act, and that Governor Cuomo wants to invest $2 million in schools to bring them to the 21st Century.

Peterson said he has read different opinions mentioned about this funding, mostly including the opinion that the money should be used for other needed things, aside from technology, in the school districts.

Finally, Peterson said he would like to acknowledge two students for heading the Bald For Bucks fund-raiser for Roswell Park Cancer Institute.

“Jenna Martin and Claudia McGlew pulled it together …”

Peterson commended, pointing out their goal was originally $1,000 and overall the district raised more than $4,000.

In other news, the board: • Declared items as obsolete due to being outdated or nonrepairable for sale/disposal/ donation purposes and under the discretion of the Superintendent and Facility Manager.

LaPosta detailed some of the modern features that will be found in the center. “We will use geothermal heating and will have a lot of natural light,” he said.

While the building will have a fully operational heating and air conditioning system, LaPosta said teachers will be able open the windows. Other green features, according to the architect, include a rainwater collection system. “Rainwater will be collected in a cistern and used to irrigate a planned children's garden behind the complex.” Additionally, LaPosta said radiant floor heating will be used “Because we know children spend a lot of time on the floor.” Water that manages to leave the premises will first be cleaned “using bio-filtration with natural materials before it empties into a nearby creek.

“This building will be very energy efficient,” LaPosta said, adding, “We've put in solar shading technology while providing plenty of windows.”

That shading process consists of several steps. Windows will be set back in the brick to avoid summertime midday sun. The

COMING SOON — Modern, spacious and efficient classroom space will soon be available in the Seneca Nation's Early Childhood Learning Center Complex on the Cattaraugus Territory.

Gowanda Elementary Principal David Smith gave a report on the recent Common Core tests in the elementary school at Wednesday evening's Gowanda Central School Board of Education meeting.

Smith stated that the recent testing was not taken seriously enough, doubtlessly because of rule changes at the State level, and a confused opting-out system at many schools, including Gowanda. He said that Gowanda was one of 328 schools that were identified as needing the Local Assistance Plan. He stated that he had no doubt whatsoever that the Gowanda school’s record could be improved with better communication with parents, aligning curriculum grade to grade for one interrelated system with continuity from grade to grade.

Three students, the senior class president, vice president and treasurer, gave a presentation to the Gowanda BOE regarding their proposed two-day trip to Washington D.C., and Baltimore, Md., next June. They gave a

schedule of planned memorials and museums they look forward to visiting in Washington, and visiting the Baltimore Aquarium.

They hope to have the participation of at least 25 of their fellow classmates, and expect to pay the $499 per student fee with various fund-raising events.

When their presentation was finished, board member Peter Delpriore asked the class treasurer, Colleen Stewart, to step forward. He explained that he was familiar with her through her association with his daughter, and wished to inform everyone in attendance at the meeting of her outstanding record. He listed about 14 various extracurricular activities she was involved in at school and four more that she did outside of school. On top of that, he stated that she had, in her four years in high school, maintained a 100 percent average. He was proud that Gowanda Central had such students in the school.

The board proceeded to approve the senior class trip to Washington and Baltimore on June 11-13, 2015, reserving the right to cancel in the event that health and safety become a concern.

Building Inspector/Code Enforcement Officer Gary Brecker had conducted a traffic study of the area and did not feel there was a hazard there. It was noted, however, that perhaps the hedges in front of the business could be trimmed so that motorists have an unobstructed view when turning into either or out of Common Cents or Kwik-Fill.

• Learned from Brecker that he had put the county (Cattaraugus) on notice regarding 24 South Water Street.

• Approved the transfer of crossing guard funds to police personnel services for the purpose of training and investigations. According to Officer-in-Charge (OIC) Steve Raiport, the crossing guard position was not filled and determined it was not needed at the intersection of Aldrich Street and Panther Drive, as this is a four-way stop.

• Approved the purchase of bulletproof vests for the Police Department. The Department has received state and federal grants for the vests, which are 50 percent matching grants.

The vests will be purchased from United Uniform for $737.83 each. Eighteen vests will be purchased.

• Approved the purchase of evidence software for the Police Department, which includes four hours of training, for $2,428.

• Was informed by O.I.C. Raiport that he would like to get all of his police officers trained and certified in the use of the heroin overdose treatment.

• Proclaimed Oct. 19 to 25 as Freedom from Workplace Bullies Week.

• Announced the Learn-to-Ski sign-ups are slated for Oct. 27 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the Municipal Building.

• Announced that $71.20 for the Recreation Program was received from the State Employees Federation Agency (Correctional Facility employees' donations).

• Learned that the fire contracts will be sent out to municipalities, reflecting a 1 percent increase per year for three years.

• Prioritized the Community Development Block Grant projects as follows: the final phase of the South Water Street parking/Veterans' Park initiative, first; waterlines in the Center Street and School Street area, second; and Rural Transit, third.

• Was told by Phil Palen, of the Tree Committe, that Jack Torrance, also of the Tree Committee, has ordered the trees for fall planting, anticipated to take place during the first part of November. Between 16 and 18 trees, costing in the range of $1,100 to $1,200, are on order.

Also, Palen said that his father, Ed, is willing to donate eight to 10 English Oak trees to the village. He had started the trees from acorns that he picked up in the Tri-County Hospital area many years ago.

• Announced the yard waste pick up will take place Oct. 27.

• Announced that Halloween trick-or-treating hours in the village will be from 6 to 8 p.m. on Oct. 31. The Gowanda Fire Department will serve cider and donuts after everyone parades down to the fire hall.

holding pattern for some time and the village has allegedly not been in contact with Savarino.

"If the board wants to deny the application [for the facility's construction], they should deny it, not delay it," Greenan said.

There was supposedly a positive declaration on the SEQR by the village. The village attorney, it was mentioned, had been in contact with Savarino, according to the board.

A court order last year in February said that the board had 45 days to approve the application or deny it, Greenan said.

Mayor McKeever said that the board was under the impression that Savarino was looking into alternative locations for the mental health clinic. She suggested that the board discuss the matter following the board meeting.

In an unrelated matter, resident Ed Kota inquired about the water and sewer reserve fund, asking where the money had gone to. He did not receive an answer to his satisfaction.

Also, regarding the possibility of increased water rates, resident Andy Burr asked the board to wait six months before hiring anymore full-time staff, hoping to stave off a rate increase.

In another unrelated matter, resident Mark Nephew approached the board regarding establishing a skate park in the village for youth. He suggested having one installed on the site where Tri-County Hospital once stood.

McKeever noted that there are a "couple organizations to give this idea to."

In other matters, the board: • Approved the business permit for the Common Cents bottle and can redemption

Cast members were thrilled to get the opportunity to spread the word about this year’s musical at the town’s first-ever Community Spirit Parade. The actors threw candy with clever

sayings like, “don’t be a dumdum, come see ‘Spelling Bee’” attached to Dum-Dum suckers.

Ready to take the heat in Perrysburg

By Phil Palen

NEWS CORRESPONDENT

Heating problems at the Perrysburg Town Hall are being addressed as a new hot water heating system is being installed, Councilman Richard Gabel said at the Oct. 13 town board meeting.

The old boiler has been replaced with a new two-zone system, as well as two overhead heaters in the basement. Gabel said one zone will serve the courtroom, which at one point last winter could only achieve temperatures in the 50s. Johnson Plumbing & Heating is doing the work, which Gabel said is “moving along fine.”

Town Clerk Tamara Utley read a report by Water Superintendent Robin Clark. The new water treatment plant on Peck Hill Road is working well and removing contaminants, including methane and iron. Some software issues controlling water levels in filters need to be corrected. The water level meter in the reservoir has been replaced and is functioning properly. Landscaping is completed and the grounds are satisfactory, according to Clark.

Sealing of the exterior of the reservoir has been done. Clark said he is working with engineer Jake Alianello on some sewer issues.

Code Enforcement Officer James Pacanowski issued six building permits in August, and two building permits and one operating permit in September.

The operating permit was for a fireworks display at a wedding.

$5,673 in court fines and surcharges was reported to the State Comptroller’s office, distributed as follows: State, $2,643; County, $345; and Town, $2,685. The board passed a resolution for Dankert to apply for a $26,035 New York State Justice Court Assistance Program (JCAP) grant for bathroom improvements in the courtroom area of the town hall.

The board will hold a public hearing on a local law changing the date of Tax Grievance Day from the fourth Tuesday in May to the fourth Wednesday in May. This is to eliminate a conflict for Assessor Bonnie Rae Strickland, who also serves as Westfield’s assessor. The hearing will be at 7 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 10, preceding the regular board meeting. Strickland reported three property transfers in the town in August. She is continuing her photo inventory of all parcels in the town.

Animal Control Officer Kathleen Hagner issued three tickets in September for unlicensed dogs, three for dogs running at large, and one for animal cruelty where the occupants had moved and abandoned a dog. She said three dogs had killed some chickens in Versailles, and a black Chow, suspected in this incident, may be the same one seen running loose on Richardson Road in Collins.

In other business, the board: • Approved payment from the following accounts: General Fund, $60,165.36; Highway Fund, $85,384.50; Gowanda Prospect Street Water District, $3,314.35; Perrysburg Central Water District, $4,850.76; Versailles Lighting District, $535.62; Special Residential District, including lighting and waste disposal, $1,217.42; Special Sewer District, $922.07; Versailles Water District, $1,549.33. There was an additional bill of $399 for a new laptop computer for the

He is waiting for paperwork on a proposed cell tower installation in Versailles. His regular inspection of properties town-wide showed four properties not being maintained, for which he will contact the owners. Pacanowski attended the Western Southern Tier Building Officials educational conference in Mayville last month and received 24 hours of inservice training.

Pacanowski said the revised town zoning document is nearing completion, with zoning codes from the former Village of Perrysburg being merged with the town’s. After proofreading, copies will be sent to the town board, zoning board and town attorney for review, after which a public hearing will be scheduled for comment on the new zoning document. He hopes to have it completed by the first of January.

Highway Superintendent Daniel Stang said the old snow plow truck was auctioned last Saturday at an Internet and live auction in Angola. He is waiting to hear who the high bidder was. His department is mixing sand and salt to fill the salt shed for winter, and trucks are being equipped for snow plowing. Stang said his crew dumped fill material at the landslide on lower Prospect Street to stabilize the area. He is continuing to monitor the slide.

Clerk Utley read Town Justice Lori Dankert’s court report for September. She closed 32 Vehicle & Traffic cases in September, along with 18 penal law and five animal control cases. A total of

Veterans' exemption gets its hearing

By Larry Wroblewski NEWS STAFF REPORTER

The North Collins School Board held a public hearing on its intention to offer veterans the maximum exemption allowed under new State legislation passed late last year.

A large contingent of uniformed Legionnaires, along with supporters, attended the Oct. 14 meeting to hear the latest.

Jeannie Ebersole, assessor for the school district, explained the levels of exemption the law allows. In the formula, a veteran who served during a period of war can receive a maximum $18,000 exemption on their property valuation. If the vet saw actual combat during that time, an additional $12,000 reduction can be added for a maximum $30,000 reduction. A vet who was disabled through service can receive a $60,000 exemption.

The board expects as many as 100 veterans in the district to qualify, and Ebersole reviewed current assessments and projected the tax base would decrease by $3,643,828.

"Because North Collins is at 100 percent valuation, there would be a 35 cent change in the evaluation per $1,000,” she said. That would raise the taxes paid on a $100,000 home by $35.

Resident Cecil Lee asked,

“Aren't we really taking out of one pocket and putting it in another?"

Ebersole agreed to a point. While veterans would receive a reduction on their total valuation, their tax rate on the remaining value would face a tax-rate rise just as everyone's.

What Ebersole said she has been unable to do yet is project what impact the exemptions would have on the district's State STAR reimbursement payment. “The State has not given us any details on how that will be handled,” said Ebersole. The question could prove important in the tax rate two years away. A decrease in this year's total valuation could affect those STAR payments. Any shortfall would be borne by the district's tax levy in the 2016-17 school year.

The school board has been supportive of the measure since it first appeared and will vote on the resolution at its Oct. 28 meeting.

District Superintendent Joan Thomas asked residents to “let us know by Oct. 28 of your thoughts, ideas and suggestions. See us, phone us, email us.”

Don Koch, commander of the North Collins American Legion Post, said, “The Post humbly asks the board to pass this, especially for the older veterans, and for the newer Afghan and Iraqi vets.”

Ebersole praised the board “for being proactive on this matter.”

She noted that not all districts

have approved the exemption, and some that have give only partial relief.

Thomas informed the board that the district had received a $31,000 Small Rural School Achievement Grant, and outlined its uses.

It will be used to fund motivational speakers, a "homework support network” and a "fitness club” for students, along with covering the cost of a late bus to drive them home.

The board approved creating the Fitness Club and named faculty members Ryan Hayes and Joseph Steger as advisors to it.

It also created a position of Safe and Drug-Free Coordinator and named Amy Ward to the post.

Part of the funds will also be used to improve the transition of students from sixth grade into the high school building.

Thomas also reported that the district is a recipient in a second grant and has pending status with three more.

Voters will have the chance to create a seat for a student on the school board during next year's budget vote and election. The measure, allowed under State Education law, would permit the creation of the non-voting seat to allow for participation and representation of the student body.

The idea, first raised by board member Martin Niefergold, found Thomas saying, “I was surprised how many districts around us have student representatives.”

The board also approved increasing an Industrial Arts position from .8 to full-time status and named Kevin Manchester as most senior in the area. It also

INTEREST SHOWN — A large number of North Collins' Veterans community came out for a public hearing on Oct. 14 on a proposal to offer them a greater school tax property exemption. approved Thomas' request and added one Teacher Aide position at the elementary school. Thomas had tried to address the early year situation with a substitute aide, but said, “The four aides there are working non-stop from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. now.”

Thomas also announced that May 15 has been chosen for a day of district community service called “Eagle Energy Day.” The superintendent said all grades from kindergarten through 12 as well as faculty and clerical staff, would perform jointly in the project.

In other business, the board: • Approved the contract with the First Congregational Church for

use of its parking lot and snow removal.

• Appointed Tara Morris as a .5 Special Education Pre-K-6 teacher, and gave probationary approval to Albert E. Durrett as Head Bus Driver.

• Named Timothy Flanagan as Girls' JV Basketball Coach for the year.

• Approved the creation of a student-run “Breakfast Club” at the high school and appointed Kathleen McCabe as its volunteer advisor.

• Joined most other school districts in recognizing cheerleading as a sport.

• Adopted goals for the school year, which are:

To develop and implement strategies to demonstrate a 5 percent growth in student performance on all state assessments.

To conduct a thorough infrastructure review and present a five-year strategic plan by June 2016 for facilities maintenance and potential capital project development.

To develop strategies that maximize fiscal efficiency to reduce per-student costs.

To continue to negotiate fair and equitable contracts with bargaining units in a timely manner that balance the interests and needs of students, staff and the community.

At the regular meeting of the Village of Cattaraugus Board of Trustees, the board began their night by reviewing the correspondence and letters they had received.

Some items of interest were: the real property transfer of 6539 Route 353, Cattaraugus, to the Village of Cattaraugus is completed, with school, county and town taxes due for this year and not next; a Webinar opportunity for Joint Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals is made available as training hours; the application for building conditions study by the Preservation League of NYS was denied.

In the Department of Public Works report, Jason Opferbeck, superintendent, began his report with a list of completed items.

A crack in a pipe that caused a water leak has been fixed, leaves have and are being cleaned up, and a record of properties that are in need of sewer issues fixed was noted.

Opferbeck also mentioned at this time he sees no need to flush hydrants in November as done in prior years. However, he said, it is always a possibility they may need to be but “probably not.”

In the Clerk’s report, Village Clerk Rose LaQuay added to Opferbeck’s report, mentioning the Winter Parking Ban goes into effect Nov. 1.

A termination list for unpaid water bills was also given to the board from LaQuay to review.

In the Zoning and Code Enforcement report, Code Enforcement Officer Frank Watson mentioned he has finalized the papers for the ambulance buildings and alarms.

He also said he has received a Special-Use Permit for a hair

In a discussion regarding Setterstix, Mayor Eric Pritchard (also an employee of Setterstix and made mention his abstaining from any decision-making of this matter) asked Watson the procedure to allow Setterstix parking privileges on Rumsey, as Rumsey is a village road.

Watson responded saying a variance requested by Setterstix would be needed to proceed.

Pritchard said he would pass the word along.

Reviewing tabled issues, the board discussed the Water Law briefly. It is still in need of editing once information regarding apartments and water meters is received.

Discussion of the Community Development Block Grant proj-

ect was also mentioned. If the village were to receive funding, either through grants or from bonds, the village would look into fixing transmission lines where the water springs are, making a bypass access at the filtration plants, and replacing some water meters, along with other ideas, that would benefit the village and low-income individuals as a whole. Conference calls have been made and set to further discuss this to get a plan in place.

In other news, the board: • Approved the monetary transfer from reserve to water in the amount of $1,340.

• Approved allowing the Webinar as training hours as presented.

It's status quo in Persia

By Phil Palen

NEWS CORRESPONDENT

There will be no pay raises for elected Town of Persia council members in 2015.

Councilman John T. Walgus introduced a resolution to remove a proposed 2 percent increase from the 2015 town budget at the Oct. 9 board meeting.

“It’s the principle,” Walgus said, citing decreased revenues for the town in the past year.

“Our expenditures aren’t that much more,” said Supervisor Paula Schueler, “but our revenues have gone down.” She mentioned receipts from sales tax, mortgage tax and gas well production have decreased, as well as the total assessed valuation of real property in the town.

After discussion, the motion was approved.

The board also passed a resolution to hold a public hearing at 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 14 at the town hall for comment on a local law to override the tax cap in the 2015 town budget.

Walgus said there was discussion with the Gowanda Fire Department about the Enhanced 911 house number signage program recently rejected by the Persia Town Board.

Councilwoman Linda Boats also spoke with the Gowanda Ambulance Service, who told her that although emergency personnel have a Global Positioning System, or GPS, aboard their vehicles or on their cell phones, it is “a huge asset” for them to have the street number signs in front of every property, and can save valuable time when responding to a call.

While it is up to the individual homeowners whether to purchase a sign, Boats said, “I am definitely in support of putting the signs up.”

This would be the homeowner’s expense, about $18 according to Walgus, and apply only to properties in the town outside the Village of Gowanda.

He said there are 473 residential properties outside the village and 110 commercial properties, including gas wells and other utilities.

Walgus said he volunteered with the seeding and covering

of Gateway Park on Palmer Street. The subgrade has been established as part of a shared services agreement among several local municipalities.

“One thing that really helped was the loan from the Town of Yorkshire of their new grader, and Cattaraugus County’s bulldozer,” Walgus said. He said the Gowanda Area Redevelopment Corporation (GARC) is going to solicit bids soon for a new play structure and for fencing along the top of the creek bank.

These projects will be funded by proceeds from the Seneca Allegany Casino through Cattaraugus County.

Councilwoman Linda Boats attended the Gowanda Ambulance Board meeting on Sept.

15. Boats said they are still looking for a new location for the ambulance building. They have tickets for a cash drawing to be held Nov. 1.

Town Clerk Denise Trumpore reported that Horvath Communications is proposing to build a telecommunications tower in the vicinity of 8713 Broadway Road, and is seeking public input from any interested parties.

In other business, the board: • Approved payment from the following accounts: Highway Fund, $19,383.53 and General Fund, $6,366.46.

• Heard Town Clerk Denise Trumpore report 142 transactions in September. She collected $7,420 in fees. The town’s share was $870.46.

• Learned the U. S. Department of Energy did helicopter flyovers above Cattaraugus Creek on Sept. 29 and 30, checking for radiation between the West Valley nuclear facility and the middle of Lake Erie.

• Learned that the town’s fire protection contract with the Gowanda Fire Department will have a 1 percent annual increase for the next three years.

• Heard that Paul Bowers is seeking to obtain his armed security guard certification for the town justice court.

• Heard that resurfacing has been completed on Snyder Hill and Dewey Road, the latter project receiving FEMA money for flood relief.

• Heard Walgus report on a Safeguard New York antiterrorism seminar he attended

The house was erected by Enos Hibbard between 187273. Hibbard was a veteran of the Civil War and fought as a member of the 10th New York Calvary.

The Enos Hibbard house at Center and Main streets in the Village of North Collins, will be open to the public in a rare opportunity on Oct. 22.

For many years, the structure served as the site of a dental practice operated by Dr. Fregelette. According to Town Historian Georgianne Bowman, “A lot of people went into the house when Dr. Fregelette had his office there, but they only saw a very small portion of it.”

Tours of the home will be held every 30 minutes beginning at

Crystal Abers, director of the Department, explains, “We have a number of high-quality trails in our county, and more trail systems are being proposed in quite a few locations.

Surgeon gives back to the community

Brant Democrats select committee

By Mary Pankow

GOWANDA NEWS EDITOR

NEW START — The Brant-Farnham Democratic Committee was reorganized with assistance from county committee members on Oct. 1.

On Oct. 1, the Brant-Farnham Democratic Committee was reorganized with the assistance of members of the Erie County Democratic Committee Ivory Payne and Arthur O. Eve Jr. and Executive Director Eric Weyant.

Debra A. Ritz was elected chairman of the Brant-Farnham Democratic Committee and

"It's our way of giving back to the community," Vishal Sharma, M.D. says, referring to the "Thanksgiving - Gift of Vision" program that provides cataract surgery to patients free of charge.

Dr. Sharma, of Lakeshore Eyecare, with two locations, one in Irving and one in Hamburg, is grateful that LakeShore Hospital has remained open. To celebrate the fortitude of so many who rallied to keep the facility operating, he is inviting those who need cataract surgery to visit his Hamburg office for evaluation. After the initial screening process and diagnostic testing, patients will then be referred to Lakeshore Hospital, where Dr. Sharma will do the surgery. While he is offering the procedure free of charge, he cautions that there may be some billing from the hospital. There would be no surgeon component fee, Dr. Sharma reminds everyone.

The surgeries are expected to be done during the month of November.

As Ferrara concluded his presentation, Matthew Bull, Small Business counselor with Cattaraugus County Economic Development, Planning & Tourism, spoke about the Grow Cattaraugus Loan Fund (GCLF). The GCLF provides loans from $5,000 to $30,000 to start-up businesses in the county, with a repayment period of three to seven years at an interest rate of 5 percent or less.

In addition to offering loan opportunities through GCLF, Cattaraugus County also provides assistance with starting a business, including writing a business plan, free training and counseling, and financing a new business or expanding or relocating an existing business.

Crystal Abers, director of Cattaraugus County Economic Development, Planning & Tourism, who was also in attendance, said, "We're here to help businesses in Cattaraugus County. We'll do what we can do to help businesses grow."

For the most part, the services offered by SBDC and Cattaraugus County are free. While obviously the county assistance concentrates on businesses within Cattaraugus County, SBDC covers Cattaraugus,

Allegheny and Chautauqua counties.

Mary Stelley, representing UDAG, mentioned that the Gowanda organization has loans available at a lower interest rate than most commercial lenders. She noted that applications are available at the Gowanda Village Office inside the Municipal Building on East Main Street.

Ralph Swanson commented that the most important thing everyone needs to remember when applying for a business loan is that a business plan is needed. This is a business "game plan," so to speak. This is where SBDC and Cattaraugus County can help develop the plan needed for financing.

To learn more about any of the services offered by the presenters, call Ferrara and SBDC at (716) 338-1354 or visit jamestown.nyssbdc.org; contact Bull and Cattaraugus County Economic Development, Planning & Tourism at (716) 938-2311 or visit www. ccptac.org; call the Gowanda Village Office regarding UDAG at (716) 532-3353; and contact Ralph Swanson at Community Bank at (716) 532-2222.

ties and is open to the general public.

The Career event coincides with Seneca Nation of Indians Employment & Training Department participation in National Disability Employment Awareness Month, which aims to educate about disability employment issues and celebrate the many and varied contributions of America’s workers with disabilities.

The history of National Disability Employment Awareness Month traces back to 1945, when Congress enacted a law declaring the first week in October each year “National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week.� In 1962, the

Headquarters

word “physically� was removed to acknowledge the employment needs and contributions of individuals with all types of disabilities. In 1988, Congress expanded the week to a month and changed the name to National Disability Employment Awareness Month.

This year’s theme uses only three words. “Expect. Employ. Empower.�

Reflecting this year’s theme, SNI Employment & Training Department, via the Tribal Vocational Rehabilitation Program, will engage in a variety of activities to educate Nation members on disability employment issues and the role they

play in fostering a disability-friendly work culture. “Tribal Vocational Rehabilitation is proud to be a part of this year’s National Disability Employment Awareness Month,� said Melissa Schindler, Program manager. “We want to spread the important message that a strong workforce is one inclusive of the skills and talents of all individuals, including individuals with disabilities.�

information session was held in the lobby of Gowanda's Community Bank.

Nick Ferrara, who works out of the Jamestown Community College location of SBDC, was first to speak and gave a Power Point presentation on the many things offered by the Center. These include: strategic planning, marketing and sales development, management and problem solving, financing and loan packaging (especially business plan development), and running a business in today's electronic age, with particular attention given to understanding ecommerce and social media.

Ferrara noted that 94.9 percent of SBDC's client start-ups are still in business as opposed to only 50 percent of those that did not utilize SBDC's assistance.

Just from Oct. 1, 2013 to Sept.

30 of this year, SBDC saw 434 clients.

Eyecare in Irving, with the subsequent opening of an office in Hamburg three years later.

Lakeshore Eyecare offers comprehensive eye care, including routine eye exams for glasses, diabetic eye exams, laser vision correction, lens implants, eyelid lift surgery, BOTOX treatments, dermal filler products and, of course, cataract surgery.

"A patient can literally go from barely able to see the big 'E' on the eye chart to reading 20/20," Dr. Sharma says of cataract surgery. During this free surgery period, Dr. Sharma notes that he will try to accommodate everyone, even if this means going beyond November scheduling.

Those interested in taking advantage of the cataract surgery should contact Dr. Sharma's Hamburg office at 6989194. After meeting the eligibility requirements and evaluation, patients will then be referred to Lakeshore Hospital.

The Hamburg office is located in Frontier Medical Plaza at 2816 Pleasant Avenue, Lakeview.

To reach Dr. Sharma's Irving office, which is located at 12657 Seneca Road, call 934-3300.

Get Ready

Much like their many of their human counterparts, pets do not always relish winter.

Animals can experience arthritis pain or fatigue when the cold sets in. Shorter periods of daylight also may make them less active and likely to sleep for longer periods of time. In an effort to stay warm, some pets get creative.

Cats can unintentionally put themselves in danger just to chase a chill away. The American Animal Hospital Association says cats will curl up against almost anything, including car engines, to stay warm. Cats caught in moving engine parts can be seriously hurt or killed.

Adapting your exercise habits in the winter can help you make it through the colder months in great shape.

There is no reason to stop exercising when the temperature drops. The American Heart Association says working out in the cold weather has distinct advantages over working out in hot and humid conditions.

When the weather is cold, you may be able to work out longer and harder because the heat won’t zap your energy levels, and exercising outdoors in the winter is a great way to get small doses of sunlight that can improve mood and help your body produce more vitamin D.

Working out in the winter may help you burn more calories than in warmer seasons. Research published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise found that race times are faster in cold weather than in warmer temperatures. Quicker runs or walks can burn more calories.

If exercising outdoors is too uncomfortable, break up your routine into smaller, more manageable sessions. Aim for 10 minute sessions several times per day. This quickly can add up to the 30 minutes of daily
