“Women are natural caregivers,”
Gretchen Fierle (above) said,
“though they are finding it
increasingly difficult to put
themselves on the front burner
in life.” She hopes her speech on
Friday will be “motivational and
thought provoking to women.”
BY IAN BIGGS
When the Women’s Weekend
committee was looking for
someone to be their keynote
speaker, they had to look
no further than Gretchen
Fierle. With over twenty
personality assessments for
young adults in their teens and
twenties to determine natural
strengths, personality traits
and passions. According to its
website (www.invisionitllc.
com), “Our goal is to help
young adults gain insight into
who they are so they can make
decisions that bring about
personal and professional
happiness and success.”
As a graduate of Bard College
and leadership Buffalo, she
has served on the board of
many successful companies.
She is also a member of
the Board of Trustees of
the Buffalo Philharmonic
Orchestra and was named one
of “25 Women Who Mean
Business” by Business First.
Prior to joining Invisionit,
she served as Vice President
of communications and
community relations for
Independent Health, a 1.5
billion dollar health care
on Friday will be “motivational

ST. BONAVENTURE - As
curator of education at St.
Bonaventure University’s
Regina A. Quick Center
for the Arts, Evelyn Sabina
spends a lot of time in area
schools connecting with
young artists at the elementary
and secondary levels.
Her visits leave her with one
central thought: There is some
real talent out there.
“I was going into a lot of
schools and seeing some
pretty amazing artwork,” said
Sabina. “I got to thinking that
this should be in The Quick
Center.”
A meeting with some like-
minded teachers has resulted in
the inaugural Middle and High
School Juried Exhibition at
The Quick Center, a showcase
of approximately 100 pieces of
art created by students from 20
area schools. The exhibition,
which opened with an artists’
reception Wednesday, June 3,
runs through this Sunday, June
21.
Nearly 300 people – the
young artists, their art teachers,
parents and guests – filled The
Quick Center’s atrium for
Wednesday evening’s opening,
a sight that Joseph LoSchiavo,
the center’s executive director,
said would have pleased the
late Regina Quick. It was a
gift from Regina and Leslie
C. Quick Jr., parents of 1975
SBU graduate and university
trustee Leslie C. Quick III, that
launched construction of the
center, which opened in 1995.
“This is a very special
event for us and it’s great to
see so many people in this
room,” said LoSchiavo. “The
outreach to young people was
enormously important to Mrs.
Quick and it’s one of the most
important things that we do
here.”
More than 300 pieces were
submitted to three jurors who
selected about 100 works for
the exhibition. The jurors – Art
Mohagen, retired art teacher at
Allegany-Limestone Central
School; Melissa Meyers, an
artist featured in this year’s
Cattaraugus County Arts
Council’s Southern Tier
Biennial exhibition; and Mary
Anne Kirkpatrick, a certified
decorative artist – said their
task was not easy.
“The talent is unbelievable,”
said Meyers, who attended
Wednesday’s opening. “I did
not expect the quality that I
saw. I was really blown away
by it and it made it very difficult
to judge the various pieces. To
have been selected is a real
honor for these students.”
Heather Lee, a high school
art teacher at Allegany-
Limestone Central School,
said the opportunity to exhibit
at The Quick Center excited
and inspired her students.
“A lot of my students are
overwhelmed by how many
people are here,” she said at
the opening. “I think that when
students show their work,
especially in a public exhibit
like this, it gives them self-
confidence and makes them
more motivated to create more
pieces of artwork.”
Olean Middle School art
teacher Dan Brown said the
exhibition is important as a
means of exposing students
to other artists and artwork.
“This is a great opportunity
for our kids to get over here to
the university and not only see
what everybody else is doing,
but to also get a chance to
see what treasures this school
has,” he said.
The exhibition includes
an assortment of art forms
including photography, mixed
media, oils and watercolors,
pastels, ceramics, charcoal
drawings and more.
Each young artist received
a letter on Quick Center
letterhead congratulating him
or her on being included in the
exhibition. The letter is a great
way for a student interested
in art to begin building a
portfolio, said Sabina.
“The Quick Center is home
to St. Bonaventure’s world-
class collection that includes
art and historical artifacts
dating from the beginnings
of Western civilization to the
21st century. Being selected for
exhibition here is a significant
reflection of the quality of a
student’s work,” she said.
Students from middle and
high schools in the following
communities in New York
and Pennsylvania participated
in exhibition: Allegany/
Limestone, Hinsdale, Fillmore,
Friendship, Jamestown, Kane,
Olean (including Archbishop
Walsh), Otto/Eldred, Port
Allegany, Portville, Randolph
and Salamanca.
The plan is to make the
exhibition an annual event,
said Sabina.
The Regina A. Quick Center
for the Arts at St. Bonaventure
University is open year round
at no charge. Galleries are
open from 10am-5pm Monday
through Friday and from noon-
4pm Saturday and Sunday.

Science in Motion: Pitt-Bradford Invites Elementary Students to Explore

Science In Motion is a partnership between Pitt-Bradford, the Pennsylvania Department

of Education and area high schools and middle schools. In summer, however, elementary-
school-age children come to campus for a week of science exploration. Camp for children
who have completed grades 4, 5 and 6 will be held the week of June 22-26. Pictured
at left: Kalee Gross watches and holds a test tube as Alex Safran pours liquid from a
beaker during a lesson on the fluorescence of chlorophyll at Science in Motion Camp
at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford. The girls mashed spinach leaves and mixed
it with acetone to make the green liquor, which glowed red when the students shone a
flashlight on it in the dark. Pictured at right: David Niegowski, 6, of Bradford presses

that ordinance waved with

Horowitz.
Abraham has approximately
25 people that live on Chipmunk
Road in between the two ridges
that would “get magnified sound
impacts.” Though the Allegany
Noise ordinance is in effect,
Abraham believes that the
sound impact could travel up to
a mile. He said that the turbine
companies “come up with novel
ways of impacting sound so
that they can comply with any
law.” He worries that they may
find a way around the stringent
Allegany law. He currently
represents seven cases regarding
noise impacts from Turbines in
different communities around
the state. He calls the studies
that turbine companies produce
shadow flicker (waves of light
that pass through the turbines
creating shadows) can also be
a problem. “Companies don’t
want to move their turbines
because of the shadow flicker,”
Abraham said.
His main concern however is
the decrease in property values.
“Within five miles of a project,
property values may decline.
Ask any realtor, if view-shed
is blighted by a wind farm,
property values can go down as
much as 30 to 50 percent. The
town will lose revenue due to
the decrease in property value.”
At the CCIDA meeting,
concerned Yorkshire resident
John Schenne was concerned
that the proposed farms would
be a detriment to his property
value. He asked the board, “If a
big wind farm was to come onto
my road, do you really think it
wouldn’t affect my property
value?” Corey Witkor, Director
of the CCIDA pointed out that
he “hasn’t received one person’s

farms, though Chairman Thomas

Sheriff
CONT. FROM PAGE A-2
“Motorcyclists have
responsibilities, too. They
should follow the rules of
the roadway, be alert to other
drivers, and always wear a DOT-
compliant helmet and other
protective gear.”
Motorcyclists are much more
vulnerable than passenger
vehicle occupants in the event
of a crash. He said that research
shows that per vehicle mile
traveled, motorcyclists are about
37 times more likely than a
passenger car occupant to die in
a traffic crash.
r The Sheriff offered several
tips for drivers to help keep
motorcyclists safe on our
roadways:
• Remember the motorcycle is a
vehicle with all of the rights and
privileges of any other motor
vehicle on the roadway. Always
allow a motorcyclist the full lane
width - never try to share a lane.
• Always make a visual check
for motorcycles by checking
mirrors and blind spots before
entering or leaving a lane of
traffic and at intersections.
• Always signal your intentions
before changing lanes or
merging with traffic.
• Don’t be fooled by a flashing
turn signal on a motorcycle -
motorcycle signals are often
not self-canceling and riders
sometimes forget to turn
them off. Wait to be sure the
motorcycle is going to turn
before you proceed.
• Allow more following
distance, three or four seconds,
when behind a motorcycle, so
the motorcyclist has enough
time to maneuver to stop in an
emergency. And don’t tailgate.
In dry conditions, motorcycles
can stop more quickly than cars.
In addition, he said
motorcyclists can increase their
safety by:
• Avoid riding in poor weather
conditions.
• Wearing brightly colored
protective gear and a DOT- P.O. Box 267, Springville, NY 14141
compliant helmet. 716.592.7242
• Using turn signals for every Toll-Free: 1.800.640.0370
turn or lane change, even if the
rider thinks no one will see it. www.hollandpropane.com
• Combining hand and turn
signals to draw more attention to
themselves.
• Using reflective tape and
stickers to increase conspicuity.
• Positioning themselves in the
lane where they will be most
visible to other drivers.
Sheriff Dennis John concluded
by saying my message to all
drivers and motorcyclists is:
make this the first year in recent
years when motorcycle fatalities
do not increase. Help to share
in the responsibility and do
your part by safely “Sharing the
Road.”
