They have toured across the United States and Europe, and now the ever-popular band “Lonestar” comes to the Seneca-Allegany Casino in Salamanca. The date of the show is Saturday July 14th, and show time is at 6:30. Lonestar’s Dean Sams spoke with WPIG Radio’s Bethany in a recent interview. She asked if he had ever been in Western New York before. Said Sams, “There’s one place we haven’t played in the United States, and that would be Hawaii. But we’ve been everywhere else.” Sams says Lonestar performs anywhere from two to five shows per week, depending on the week. “Usually we are weekend warriors, and doing three shows (then) is pretty normal.” Sams explained that there is a lot of travel involving great distances between dates when Lonestar hits the road. “We’ve been driving on the bus all night long to get to Iowa where we have a show. 860 miles is our drive.”

It’s time again for the S.T.A.R.S. (Southern Tier Aero Radio Society) Annual Scale Air Show, this Saturday July 7th and Sunday July 8th at the Cattaraugus County/Olean Airport

The Cattaraugus County Planning Board met last week to discuss an admittedly short list of subjects before the board. First up was consideration of a site plan for a trailer park on Hetzel Street behind the Holiday Inn Express in Salamanca. The plan was approved. The third public forum for discussing the Comprehensive Plan for development within the county will be July 12. The board will be asking the public to comment on the issues facing the county regarding environmental and natural resources. The meeting will begin at 6:00pm in the Randolph Municipal Building in Little Valley. The Planning Board will be hosting its annual dinner meeting at the Cattaraugus County – Olean Airport
on July 27 beginning at 5:00pm. The dinner has been held for the past 25 years and is in recognition of the efforts of the local town and village planning boards. The keynote speaker will be George Grasser, President and Chief Executive Officer Livable Western New York. His subject will be Smart Growth. Currently the board is working on a sustainability plan for the five counties of Western New York. The plan will center on updating the hazard mitigation program for the coming several years. The report is required by FEMA to be updated every five years. The Cattaraugus County Planning Board has a three fold mission: 1) Promote Economic Development by working to strengthen existing business and cooperating with economic
By Nicholas Pircio
At their meeting held in Salamanca on Thursday June 28th, members of the Southern Tier West Regional Planning and Development Board focused on economic development throughout the Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, and Allegany County region. The board is also working with Chautauqua County as they work to decrease the number of county legislators, in line with the 2010 census figures. STW Executive Director Richard Zink says agency staff continues to work with Chautauqua County on their re-districting project. “We’ve had four or five meetings with committees and other meetings with individuals to try and work out a new plan. They are decreasing the number of legislators to 19, based on the 2010 census. It’s been a learning experience and a good process.” As for funding of regional projects, not a whole lot has changed. “There’s been a lot of activity, but nothing that came to fruition. It appears the Economic Development Administration will face a cut in funding.” Zink commented on a proposal made in June to
eliminate ARC (Appalachian Regional Commission), but that vote in Washington failed pretty substantially. “We’re anticipating at least level funding for ARC, but that depends on where negotiations go.” Commenting on funding for rural transportation funding, the new transportation bill just agreed to by Congress does not do anything for funding for local rural transportation projects, but it “plants the seed to formally implement them. There are some sticking points on how to pay for the bill.” The subject of an ongoing greenhouse gases emissions project came up for discussion. Zink notes, “We’ve been working on with five counties for the past six months, it really started moving in May. There are seven working groups that are meeting on a monthly basis. It is quite a daunting task to get five counties to meet together on the matter.” Starting in July, up to eight sites could be utilized throughout the three-county region for video conferencing. The project is focusing on issues such as energy and transportation, waste and water, agriculture, and economic development.
There will be two public meetings in the Southern Tier held in July, as part of the public input process on the greenhouse gases emissions project. One meeting will be in Jamestown and the other in Cuba, NY. “We’re putting together a plan that would develop projects to apply for funding next spring for NYSERDA (New York State Energy Research and Development Authority) funding, to decrease greenhouse gas emissions.” NYSERDA is maintaining a public website as to the process. Monies are being made available, “So the more we prepare, the more we can get projects in line. We need to start having these conversations sooner than later, if projects are to get funded.” Regional Development Coordinator Kimberly LaMendola updated the Southern Tier West board on the subject of the promotion and selling of locally grown foods. Richard Zink noted the project has been making excellent headway and progress. LaMendola cited a challenge of coordinating

Summer in Ellicottville gives all of us an opportunity to spend some time in the sun with our families and friends both old and anew – and participate in the many outdoor activities this area has to offer. Whether you’re mountain biking, out on the golf course, relaxing at your favorite restaurant or simply hanging out right in your own backyard, it’s summertime and the living is easy. This is also a favorite time for out-of-towners to come and visit our beautiful village. Ellicottville is a four-season resort area, which pulls a steady stream of visitors each week, all year long. During each of our many great festivals, the increase in our local population is very noticeable. We scarcely have time to catch our breath
from last week’s very successful Summer Music Festival. Then it’s on to the Eddie Szpaicher Golf Classic. Then it’s time for Jazz & Blues Fest … and we’re not even into August yet! Yes sir – this is summer fun at its finest and the only thing you need to do is square away the time to enjoy all the happenings and good times. Just take a look at our photo page, so much excitement we couldn’t fit it all in this week. Look for more photos in next weeks edition. So, dear readers, my not-so-sage advice to y’all is to relax, have fun and take pleasure in knowing you’re in the best place at the best possible time. Let the warm summer sun recharge your batteries! Until next week …

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.
Hi, My name is Sharon Saporito and I am in need of a kidney due to PKD. I was currently preparing for my transplant when it was discovered that my blood had developed an antibody. I was devastated. The team then tested the remaining three donors and found they also were no longer compatible. I never thought I would be in this position since I had so much support from friends and family. I went from having four possible donors to none. It has been a heart breaking situation to say the least. I am in excellent health except for my kidneys. I am blood type B and could receive a kidney from a B or O blood type. An exchange, I am sure would be possible. Please contact me if you can be of help!

guitar, jazzy instrumentals and tight blues groove with soulful feminine vocals. Her incredible stage presence makes her an irresistible force in the music world. Ana Popovic was born in the war torn town of Belgrade, formerly Yugoslavia. Ana grew up in a warm and loving family where music was very important. Her father would, throughout her youth, always invite friends over for nightly jam sessions where Ana listened and analyzed the deep artistic roots of her music. In this atmosphere, she quickly picked up her father’s impressive blues and soul record collection, grabbed his guitar and went to work at a young age of 15. Since then, Ana Popovic has developed into a phenomenal guitarist/vocalist who currently resides in
Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Today Ana and her phenomenal 4-piece band are tirelessly touring, playing major blues / jazz and rock festivals around the world and you can see her here, in Ellicottville, at Balloons Restaurant and Nightclub on July 11 at 7 pm!
BraNdoN saNtiNi Brandon Santini will be at Balloon’s Sunday, July 15th, 2012 at 5:00pm. There are many different opinions as to what the future of blues harmonica will be. Memphis based Brandon Santini is undeniably a worthy player to keep an eye on as the next decade unfolds. His name is worthy of conversations that involve Jason Ricci, Billy Gibson, Dennis Gruenling, Rick Estrin and other frontline harmonica players that have become part of a new wave in the blues world. With tasteful speed and licks, he combines his respect to traditional blues with a present colorful style of playing. Raised in North Carolina, Brandon relocated to Memphis in 2003 where he began to absorb the sounds and culture of the Delta, honing his craft night after night, sweating it out in local Beale Street clubs just like Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, & B.B. King. He fronted the Blues Music Award nominated band Delta Highway for six years and is now embarking on a solo career.

Back in February 2003, Dennis Jones of Jones Realty in Olean attended a member breakfast of the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce. The idea of the breakfast is for members to speak on benefits received from the Chamber and also bring ideas to the Chamber to work on/ develop. Dennis suggested having a motorcycle event, something like Gowanda’s Harley Happening, where bike owners and the community get together and celebrate motorcycles. Six short months later, the FIRST RALLY IN THE VALLEY was held and produced amazing results. Can you believe Rally is celebrating 10 years this year? Since 2003, the event has grown: in terms of number of days held (2-5); number

By JaNae Butler Want to take a road trip, but don’t want to leave the pets at home? The East Otto Country Kennel has just what local pet owners are looking for: experience, care and comfort promised to their loved pets. The kennel, owned by Trish Tomasello, is family operated on Tomasello’s own property at 10312 Hammond Hill Road in East Otto, New York. The kennel has been going strong for 15 years. Dogs are $17 per day, and cats are $11 per day. Tomasello said that she charges by the individual pet and not its size because they all receive the same care. “They all get a lot of attention and love,” she said. Tomasello has no employees who work at the kennel, but instead, has her daughters help her with them each day when they arrive home from school. “It’s good for the pets, because they get
used to the same faces and same voices when they’re here,” she said. “They could get confused easily if I had different employees running in and out each day.” While cats are also cared for at the kennel, Tomasello said that dogs, specifically Labrador Retrievers, are most common. “Labs are so fun to play with,” she said. “They bring a lot of energy and it’s nice to have that positive energy around. It affects the other pets.” Pets at the kennel get to experience the best of all worlds, as they get to have playtime 3 times daily where they can either play in small groups or with her daughters, or they can even go for outdoor strolls. Grooming options are also available, and a large covered outdoor patio is available for the pets as well. Tomasello said she can board up to 20 pets at a time, and
that it’s usually busier in the summer. “People travel a lot in the summer, so that’s when we’re usually very busy,” she said. Most commonly, pets are at the East Otto Country Kennel for weekends, and sometimes for 4 or 5 days at a time. “We even have day care available for pets, too,” she said. “Sometimes, people want to go skiing or just do something during the day, so we watch them while their owners are away. Tomasello chose to open her own kennel after applying her previous employment at a veterinarian’s office. “I worked for a vet, and I lived above an animal hospital,” she said. “After I started having kids, it just dawned on me that it would be much easier to have a job where I could still combine my love of pets while being able to work from home. From there, the East Otto Country Kennel was born.” Tomasello said that those who may have their doubts about leaving their loved pets at kennels don’t really have much to worry about. “There are some horror stories from kennels for sure, but most aren’t like that,” she said. “The best way to find out what kennels are like to get referrals from vets. They’ll tell you everything you need to know.” So don’t let the fear of leaving your pets alone stop you from taking a road trip or a vacation, whether it’s a day long or a week long. “Here at East Otto, we make sure these animals are given as much love in the time they’re here as their owners have always given them,” Tomasello said. “We pride ourselves on running a happy and loving business.” For more information on the East Otto Country Kennel, contact owner Trish Tomasello at 716-592-4011, or visit their website at www.eastottocountrykennel.com.
The kennel, owned by Trish Tomasello, is family operated on Tomasello’s own property at 10312 Hammond Hill Road in East Otto, New York.

Bear Hollow Road travels through farmland as it heads into the hills. The open fields give way to the forested hillsides. It’s the perfect embodiment of country life, productive farms transition to cool woods. Up the side of the low mountains is a secluded home on just over five acres of land. The view from the front deck looks over an alpaca ranch. This country home is full of the amenities of newer homes. It maintains the generous rooms of older
homes with features like a formal dining room, a basement and a large kitchen. In addition, the owners have added a beautiful sun room off the back. It’s a perfect spot for a casual dinner or to read as the snow falls silently outside. The master suite has a large bedroom and roomy bath. Two other bedrooms and another bath are on the main floor as well. Downstairs the basement is finished with carpeting. There is a “rec room,” that is a space for just about any use, and a spot for a home office. The laundry and utility room are here as well. Outside the house in back is a nice sunny deck. Off the
left side of the home is a private shady yard. The hillside in back has been tiered by the owners and lovingly planted with flowers and shrubs for a year round display of color. Up the the hill a couple of benches have been placed for a quiet spot to curl up with your iPad. In all it’s hard to imagine anything else you could want in a home. For all its quiet and seclusion, it’s still only minutes to downtown Ellicottville, with its restaurants, golf and skiing. And yet it’s still a little world of its own. For more information about this property contact Larry Oeffling at Ellicottville Real Estate. 716-699-6748.
Set on just over eight acres of land, this home is secluded and still only minutes from downtown.
(Pictures from left to right) 1. Something rare to find in a home these days is a formal dining room. 2. The beautiful sun room has knotty pine walls, lots of windows and opens to the back deck. It is heated for winter use.
(Pictures from left to right) 1. The large kitchen features a long side board and cabinets along one wall (not shown). Note the counter/breakfast bar. 2. A large family room is off the kitchen, the entrance to the sun room is on the left. 3. The large living room is perfect for entertaining.
Enjoy many performances by some of the region’s best Jazz and Blues musicians throughout the Village in performance areas ranging from restaurants, bars & nightclubs, to street-side and the Village Square. Ellicottville has the shops and all the facilities you’d expect in an international class resort, the village is self-contained and all of the venues are within easy walking distance of each other. After you arrive, leave the car and enjoy the sounds of hot blues, cool jazz and the fresh mountain air on foot.

For thirty-five years Tim Brown was a substitute teacher, coach and athletic director at several schools in Western New York. In the late 60’s and early 70’s he had played in a rock band, peforming gigs mostly in the Cuba area. But as many people do, he gave up the rock and roll life for a career and family, and went some 35 years with out picking up an instrument. During that time, if you had asked him if he wanted to get back into a band, he might have laughed; pointing out how hard it is to work up a four hour set of songs. But towards the end of his teaching days events began to chip away at his resolve. He
was on a long term substitute assignment at a high school when a little show was put on featuring skits and a couple of guys on guitar. One of them was Tim. The other was student Nick Kowalski on bass, and the two formed a musical bond. Along came retirement, some free time, and Tim admits, “I got the bug again.” Shortly after Tim and Nick found themselves lining up other musicians and formed the band Made in the Shade. For a while they played some gigs together, but some of the band members went off to college and on to other things. Tim and Nick found themselves auditioning new band members. The new band is Midnight Riders and Nick, in his twenty’s, is the youngest member. The age range starts with Nick and
goes through the 40’s and 50’s up to Tim who is 64. Lead singer Dana Oaks, came from a Dillon tribute band, Ray Cook switches lead and rhythm guitar with Nick, Jeff Gamble plays bass guitar, Arron Peters is the drummer, and Tim has moved over to keyboard. Tom Brown (no relation to Tim) an alumni from Made in the Shade, occasionally fills in for Jeff. Since forming two years ago the band had performed all around the area. Tim ticks off a few: Salamanca, Springville, Olean, and many other communities in the Southern Tier. Their music is a mixture of Classic/Southern rock; along the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker, and Almond Brothers. They also do some Johnny Cash, and Elvis Presley. When asked if the age diversity brings any challenges as to what music to play, Tim say it’s no problem, “it works because they like to play the same music I like to play.” He says Nick especially likes to “get out in front and play all the guitar hero stuff.” When asked what it like to be playing in a rock and roll band, at an age when most folks are on a beach with a metal detector Tim says, with great honesty, “It’s tiring!” He adds, “the kids have all the energy in the world.” But still his enthusiasm for playing the music he loves is clear. He ends our conversation by saying, “As long as the guys want to play I’m up for it.”

HealthwiseThe Power of Adrenal Glands
By Lilian D. Dirito, C.N.H.P.Certified Natural Health
ProfessionalHolistic Wellness Coach
Democracy. She’s our baby. Our little bundle of joy. In the eyes of the proud parents, she can do no wrong. Then one day she starts smoking cigarettes in the alley down the street. She begins to talk back to Mom and Dad. She skips school and her grades begin to fail. What’s a proud parent to do? Alright. Democracy isn’t really smoking in the alley but she isn’t perfect either. American style democracy will always leave someone crying “fraud”. Several recent examples here and around the world illustrate what happens when democracy gets it right. Or is it wrong? Depends on who you talk to. I just did a quick Google check on Chief Justice John Roberts and guess what happened? More than half of the recent top search results include the word “traitor” in them somewhere. John Roberts. Appointed by the one and only Shrub. A Traitor to the Conservative cause? Just a few months ago he was a hero when he fiendishly, in my opinion, ruled in the “Citizens United” case that “corporations
are people.” Roberts. The man who broke tradition and openly showed disagreement with President Obama during the State of the Union Address. A traitor? Apparently, in these ridiculously partisan times, everyone eventually becomes a traitor to someone. Here’s the thing. The Supreme Court is the one branch of our democratic style of government that we actually have no say in. These folks, like it or not, are there for life. They are Kings and Queens of their little judiciary kingdoms. The only control we have over who becomes a Supreme Court judge is when we elect the person who will appoint them in the event of a retirement. Recent events in our bitterly divided country have left us with the impression that everything will be settled (by not being settled) right along partisan lines. So, of course, our minds have trouble accepting the fact that some folks still rule according to the law instead of the gut. The Supreme Court, with a few exceptions (I’m talking to you Scalia), doesn’t always rule along partisan lines and that tends to rile feathers every time. With me it was the ruling that stopped the 2000 presidential election recount and the Citizens United ruling. For Conservatives, who had a very, very bad couple of weeks thanks to the Supreme Court, it was the Arizona Immigration Law ruling and the Affordable Health Care Act (Obamacare) ruling. But, is Roberts a traitor to his Conservative backers? Of course not. He’s just doing his job. America, of course, has given
birth to many little Democratic babies over the years. Egypt was supposed to be our most recent Honor Role student. Then she dropped out of school and started hanging out with the Muslim Brotherhood. Once again, what’s a proud parent to do? In the old days we would have covertly sent in the CIA to blow the entire election to hell. Child abuse is now against the law. It hurts when we have to stand aside and watch fledgling Democracies make bad decisions. But that’s what democracy is all about. Having the right to vote and decide our own fate. This is THE core value that most defines who we are and, consequently, who they are. For good or bad we have to decide weather or not to abandon our principles and recognize the Muslim Brotherhood or the Military rulers of a new Egypt. Two bad decisions no matter how you look at it. So, this is our baby. Some days we love her and other days we want to cancel her trust fund. John Roberts, this week at least, is my new hero. When the Court reconvenes and starts hearing cases again, he’ll make a ruling that causes me to foam at the mouth and start shouting “Conservative Lackey” at no one in particular. In November, half the country will be elated and vindicated and the other half will demand a recount and start making fraud claims. This is what democracy looks like. There was a time not so long ago when Americans accepted this and moved on. Those days are long gone and I’m beginning to feel frightened for our Baby. She’s in danger.
We all know about lungs, heart and stomach, but most of us don’t know much about our adrenal glands. These hormones are essential for life. Adrenals are strong to a point, but when we over work them, they can get weak and stop doing their multiple functions. The adrenals are two small compound glands sitting on top of the kidneys. They help to regulate the mechanisms that support the body to adjust to stress. Adrenal glands are part of the sympathetic nervous system. Excess stress over stimulates the sympathetic nervous system. This is a common problem in our culture. Stresses of traffic, work, noise, finances, etc. all activate our “flight/fight response. This is all because an urgent message of danger, excitement or fear is sent from your brain to your adrenal glands.This frequent reactions can elevate our blood pressure, weaken our digestive organs, make us constipated and keep us feeling tense and anxious. Taken to excess, we
can experience anxiety, heart palpitations, hyperactivity, restlessness, twitching and nervousness. One of the signs you are entering this state is that you are tired, but you do not sleep well. As this state continues, the person becomes nervous and “jumpy”. During the day you may experience mental confusion, lapses of memory, dry skin, low body temperature, lack of sex drive, cold hands and feet, and sometimes the inability to speak clearly. Chronic stress leads to excess cortisol production. Cortisol is one of the hormones secreted by the adrenal glands that influence carbohydrate metabolism. We tend to crave carbohydrates when are stressed out.There are some herbal combinations that can support the adrenal glands. I like using Adrenal Support has a treasure of nutrients that are necessary for a healthy function of the adrenal glands. This herbal combination provides important vitamins, essential minerals and adaptogenic herbs that help the body’s ability to manage stress protect against free radicals from stress and improve the immune and nervous functions.
Adrenal Support contains: Vitamin C, Thiamine, Riboflavin, Vitamin B6, Panthotenic Acid, Magnesium, Zinc, Potassium, Adrenal substance, Schizandra, Borage Oil, Licorice, Protease blend. This combination is also included in Glandular System Pack. This convenient monthly pack provides nutrients to nourish the body’s glandular system. It supports positive mood, promotes energy, strengthens the body’s ability to manage stress. Besides Adrenal Support, it contains the combination Master Gland Formula, which provides
a blend of herbs, minerals and other nutrients that help balance the glandular system, particularly the pituitary, thyroid and adrenal glands. This pack also includes AdaptaMax, a combination of adaptogenic herbs that help the body combat stress and adapt to stressful situations. It also supports energy levels and sexual drive. Chinese Mineral Chi Tonic is a liquid combination of colloidal minerals with some of the most important Chinese tonic herbs. It was formulated to balance the meridians of the body and maintain health and balance. Chinese Mineral Chi Tonic provides powerful herbal adaptogens which enable the body to respond more efficiently to stress and to resist negative biological, chemical and physical stressors.I also like Energy –V. This combination is considered a type of “spring tonic”. Energy-V consists of herbs which improve stamina and vitality, stimulating circulation to promote health and balance. It improves digestion, reducing nervous tension, strengthening nervous system and glandular function. It is great for people that feel burned out and lack energy. It could improve athletic performance as well.

All four members of Lonestar share a bus while touring. Do they get on each other’s nerves? “ Actually, no. That’s the great thing about us, touring together as long as we have. We started out in a two-door Jeep Cherokee, so this (the bus) is like having a huge playground.” Lonestar has been together as a band for twenty years, and are recording a new album to celebrate. “We are finishing the last four songs on the record, and it will be out at the end of October.” They’ve got a new single called “The Countdown” which will be released to radio stations across the country by July 16th. “It’s a great up-tempo song that talks about this guy trying to get home to the girl he loves. It’s about all the miles, all the red lights, all the cities (along the way) just to get to her. Although ‘Countdown’ is one of the most driving songs done by
Lonestar as a band, it is a very passionate love song.” Sams says Lonestar will play “The Countdown” at their Salamanca concert at the casino. “The one big marker that we can always tell if a song has the potential to be a hit or not, is whether the fans, after they hear a chorus or so, by the next time it comes around they can sing it. This song, after the second chorus, the fans are definitely singing it. They’re holding up their hands when it goes ‘five, then four, then three,’ and the whole countdown thing with us. We’re not even asking them to do it.” Dean Sams plays keyboards, acoustic guitar, and backing vocals. He’s also done some acting. “The great thing about this band is that everybody does a lot of different things outside of the band as well. I’ve done some acting in some really terrible movies, nothing major. Now my son, on the other hand, he’s eleven years old. He’s the lead in a movie (called “Chilly Christmas”) with Tom Arnold and C. Thomas Howell. So he’ll
be the big star on the movie screen. Dad’s just fine with doing music.” Does Dean Sams get nervous in front of a crowd? He says he can’t speak for the rest of the band but, “Honestly I don’t, I haven’t gotten nervous before a show in a long time. I get excited. I’m always excited to walk on the stage, just like the rest of the guys are. At the end of the day, we love making records but what truly draws us to be the band that we are is getting out on stage and performing for the fans. It’s what we love the most.” Does he have a favorite song to perform? “It varies from night to night, but the one constant is when we do ‘Amazed.’ The song really changed our career, and it’s a song that’s been a big part of people’s lives.” People continually tell the band they’ve used the song in their wedding or it was played at a friend’s wedding. “When somebody thinks enough of your song that they’ll put it in the biggest day of their lives, it’s a pretty big deal.”
aircrafts through the sky. Radio-controlled aircrafts are replicas of full scale aircrafts in miniature form. They are either operated by radio or remote control. Both types are operated by controllers that send messages to the airplanes, telling them where to go and in what direction. Jim Goodemote, Rally Contest Director, said this event remains popular year after year. “It’s just a fun couple of days; we all get together and just fly and hang out,” he said. “People can fly when they want, and if they don’t want to, they can just hang out.” Flying hours
are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday the 7th, and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday the 8th. There is no charge to fly, but a $5 per car donation is encouraged. Goodemote said that at this particular event, prizes aren’t given out; it’s more of a chance for everyone to just get together, be social and fly their planes. Goodemote said that there is anywhere between 1,500 and 2,000 spectators come out every year to watch all of the planes fly around. Last year, there were about 130 airplanes flown by 89 pilots, as some pilots bring more than one plane. Goodemote said that only 5 planes are allowed in the air at a time to avoid any accidents, even though there is plenty of room at the site. For those participating, a food tent is available as well as a wine and cheese party on Saturday
evening. Any pilot who brings their plane to the field is licensed by the American Model Association to do so. The American Model Association, whose headquarters are in Indiana, covers insurance on the planes, the owners and the site, incase damage is done to the property while the pilots are flying their planes. Overall, Goodemote said that he is looking forward to seeing this year’s turnout, as it has only gotten better over time. “In addition to everyone else, this event is well received by those who are yearning to learn about aircrafts and aviation,” he said. “This is a unique event. You can’t go to every park and see these things fly.” For more information on the event, contact Jim Goodemote at 716-372-1137, or visit their website at www.rcstars.org.
development agencies such as the Cattaraugus County Business Development Corporation
(CCIDA), and the Southern Tier West Regional Planning and development Board (STW). The goal is to create an economic climate that attracts large and small new businesses to the area. 2) Work with individual towns, villages and the county to strike a balance between rural preservation and urban
development. Subdivisions include the Cattaraugus County Agricultural and Farmland Protection Board, and the Cattaraugus County Equine Advisory Committee. 3) Promote Cattaraugus County as a tourist destination due to its natural beauty and abundance of four season activities.
efforts among Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, and Allegany Counties, in that there are difference as to what a local food economy means among
growers and producers. “All of these activities come down to economic development.” The goal is to increase revenues among the food growers and producers, while serving other stakeholders like community health service organizations, who have been very vocal about being served. For example, the community health practitioners
say their mission is anti-hunger. LaMendola notes, “They want to increase consumption of good, fresh local food among those (people) who have barriers to accessing it. We are developing a robust database for a regional food assessment, and a road map. It’s a good reality check that we are staying on track with our role.”
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced assistance for low-income New Yorkers whose health issues pose a medical emergency during the extended period of hot weather forecasted for the state in the coming days. “The late spring and early summer have already brought several heat waves, which can be life-and-death matters for New Yorkers with serious medical conditions,” Governor Cuomo said. “Senior citizens and children are especially susceptible to heat-related illness, and this initiative will provide low-income homes with much-needed air conditioners so that New Yorkers have the assistance they need to stay cool and healthy.” In order to protect vulnerable New Yorkers, New York State has set aside $3 million in funding through the federally-funded Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). “Summer heat can be dangerous for many New Yorkers,” said U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer. “I strongly urge eligible families and seniors to take advantage of this program to help keep their homes safe and comfortable. As this heat
Gov. Cuomo AnnouncesAC’s Available For Low-Income NY’s With Serious Medical Conditions
wave moves across New York, it’s absolutely essential that seniors aren’t put at risk because they can’t afford to keep their homes cool.” “Working with our non-profit partners across the state, we are happy to provide some relief to those needy New Yorkers with medical conditions,” said Darryl C. Towns, Commissioner/CEO of New York State Homes and Community Renewal (HCR), which administers LIHEAP. “But if you find yourself without air conditioning and in a true heat emergency this summer, please do not wait: head to your nearest local cooling center.” Eligibility for the program is determined by: 1) LIHEAP low-income guidelines. (For a four-person household, the maximum gross annual income to qualify is approximately $49,500.) 2) Having at least one household member who has been diagnosed with a chronic or acute medical condition which is aggravated by exposure to extreme heat situations. 3) A doctor providing written documentation (dated within the last six months) that air-conditioning assistance is critical to prevent a heat emergency. Households that have a
working air conditioner or have received one from the State in the last 10 years are not eligible. The cooling program is administered by HCR with funding provided from the federal Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) funds, through the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA). HCR’s network of 63 local Weatherization agencies will provide delivery and installation of cooling program services, and funds have been allocated to ensure coverage in each of the state’s 62 counties. These agencies will accept applications, determine eligibility, and oversee the installation of the air-conditioning units. Under the terms of the grant, one air conditioner will be awarded to an eligible household or dwelling unit, with installation and labor included. Grants do not include an additional HEAP cash benefit to cover the cost of operating the air conditioning unit. Questions regarding the HEAP program should be directed to NYS HEAP Hotline at 1-800-342-3009. Those who want to see if they qualify under HEAP’s income guidelines should visit www.mybenefits.ny.gov

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y., June 26, 2012 — Photographs of St. Bonaventure University students engaged in the process of creating art are the subject of an exhibition under way at the university’s Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts. The exhibition, “Art and Imagination: My Bona’s Students, 2002-2012,” features photos taken by Constance Pierce, associate professor of visual arts at St. Bonaventure. It runs through July 20 in The Quick Center’s Branch Gallery. “One of my favorite photographic endeavors over the last decade has been capturing images of a wide variety of students in diverse majors who have taken my art courses,” said Pierce. “Watching my art students immersed in the process of creation has been the delight of my time here at the university.” The photographs show students enrolled in a number of courses taught by Pierce, including “Imaging Journal:
Quick Center ExhibitionPhotos Of Students And Their Art Featured In Quick Center Exhibition
Inward Journey,” a course she developed as a research fellow and instructor at Yale Divinity School. Described by the instructor as “part soul work and part personal narrative,” the course combines the healing qualities of journal writing and image making, and is intended to help students discover their own unique voices, said Pierce. She began offering the course at St. Bonaventure as a special elective 10 years ago, as a way to reach out to non-art majors who desired some form of creative expression. The photographs displayed illustrate explorations in monotype, watercolor, collage and creative writing. Also part of the exhibition are photos of introductory painting students engaged in a project titled “Paraphrase.” In this teaching technique, students are carefully guided into a “close reading” of a painting created by a master artist, said Pierce. With brushes in hand, students research elements such as line,
color, texture and composition in the original painting. Then, with the original paintings and their own canvases turned upside down, they work on their own paintings. “This exercise facilitates correct observation of compositional architecture and tones,” said Pierce, noting history is replete with painters who were educated through paraphrasing prior masters. Examples include Manet, Van Gogh and Picasso. Another painting project depicted in the exhibition is one titled “Earth Song,” described by Pierce as a “communal visual elegy honoring the preservation of the Earth.” Students created individual monochromatic diptych paintings, then collaborated on conjoining them into a wrap-around mural. “Participants learned the power of black and white, as well as the excitement of communal collaboration,” said Pierce. Other exhibited images span a number of projects in courses Pierce has taught in drawing, painting, journals and watercolor, as well as a special version of “Imaging Journal” she utilized in her “Art and Literature” core curriculum course. The subjects in her photographs include not only studio art and art history majors, but those majoring in other disciplines in the School of Arts and Sciences as well as majors in the schools of Business, Education, and Journalism/Mass Communication. The Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Galleries are open to the public at no charge.
