gan, Margo Hills, Tracy Lehman, Steve Murray, and Christina Tor- rey.The Allegany Arc Leadership Program is dedicated to leader- ship skill development and to promoting the agency’s philoso-
Program reaches 2,422 children since 2003
BELMONT– The Allegany County Area Foundation provided Lit- eracy West, Inc. with a $500 grant to help fund their Breakfast with Santa Program. Literacy West conducted this program December 7th at the Friendship Central School. Breakfast with Santa is a fun, free family Literacy event for all children and their caregivers in Al- legany County.
The Breakfast with Santa event began in 2003; since that time, more than 2,422 children and their caregivers from across Allegany County have attended the event. The children receive a picture with Santa and Mrs. Claus, and new books that are provided by the Mc- Graw-Hill Foundation.
More than seventy volunteers including high school students, local college students, and representatives from agencies and the commu- nity assist in the event. Children 0-12 years of age participate in fun make it and take it activities that are literacy based, and age appro- priate, have breakfast with Santa, sing favorite Christmas songs, write a letter to Santa, enjoy a storyteller and make Magic Reindeer Food to guide Santa’s journey.

phy, while fostering a culture of learning among future genera- tions of leaders. The Leadership Program is part of Allegany Arc’s strategic plan; the agency is committed to developing lead- ership skills in all employees.
Executive Committee identified employees who demonstrated the interest and capability to emerge as future leaders to par- ticipate in this year’s program.
Corinna McKnight noted, “The trainings offered to employees in the Leadership Program pro- vided fundamentals that allowed employees to work cohesively together.”
The core of the Leadership Pro- gram was “Strength Based Lead- ership.” Throughout the year the participants attended monthly trainings and learned three keys to being a more effective leader;
knowing your strengths and in- vesting in others’ strengths, get- ting people with the right strengths on your team, and un- derstanding and meeting the four basic needs of those who look to you for leadership.
This year’s class was broken into two groups and assigned a task to complete. One group de- cided on an agriculture-based project – a garden. In their gar- den this year, the group har- vested over 4,000 pounds of potatoes and 400 pumpkins. The harvested produce was able to assist with offsetting some of the Arc’s Residential and the Day Program costs.
The second group held a “Rec Raiser” in August with proceeds
going towards developing prop- erty located at the Richard S.
Witkowski Vocational Training Center on Andover Road. The group created a five year plan that will include building grilling areas, pavilions, ball fields, and an area for camping. The even- tual goal is to have a space that can be utilized by all community members for outdoor recreation activities.
The class reunited in early De- cember to discuss Allegany Arc’s Leadership Program. They gave honest feedback on what they found most inspiring about being part of the program and areas they thought could be improved upon.
Corinna McKnight, Allegany Arc’s Chief Operations Officer, congratulated each member of the class and said, “We are so proud of the work you did as part of this program and the work you do on a daily basis. Your com- mitment to being a better em- ployee and leader is inspiring.
Our hope is that you will take the tools you learned here and be able to share them in your pro- fessional and personal lives.”

Events at David A. Howe Library, Wellsville
After holiday feasts, perhaps one could feast (one's eyes anyway) on Pine Needles Alfredo, seen on a favorite walk up the hill to Greek Road.
Recently I was poking through the Box of Books’ selection of cook books-there are a lot of them on most any aspect of cooking and baking you can imagine. And, by the way, we love to loan them out.
Fellow library staffer that day was Rima O’Connor. She men- tioned that her mother had some cranberry recipes that she had en- joyed growing up. I asked if she would share and she did.
I love the addition of garlic in this one. It would make a great accompaniment for whatever meat you are serving for New Year’s.
Garlicky Cranberry Chutney 1” piece fresh ginger, scraped 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
3 cloves finely chopped garlic 1 lb. can cranberry sauce w/berries
½ c. apple cider vinegar ½ tsp. (or less) salt
4 T. sugar freshly ground black pepper Cut ginger into thin slivers. Combine ginger, garlic, vinegar, sugar and cayenne in small pot. Bring to boil and simmer for 15 minutes or until about 4 T. liquid are left. Add cranberry sauce, salt, black pepper and mix, allowing lumps to remain. Bring to simmer for ten minutes. Cool and store in refrigerator. (Will keep a couple of days.)
Trust the Mad Doctor…
He’s Only Holding a Chain Saw Because He’s a Tree Surgeon That Aaron McGraw
Is quick on the draw
With an ax or a saw or a winch;
There isn’t a tree So scary that he
Doesn’t think it will be just a cinch.
He climbs such a height, Slip and fall, he just might.
But he ties a rope tight to the trunk, And when he shouts “Timber!”
Don’t stand there and whimper –
Cuz if you ain’t enough limber, you’re sunk.

TWO TERMS IN REVIEW
The end of 2013 represents a major milestone in my career as a Legislator. I began my first term of service on the Board of Legislators on January 2, 2006. I am nearing the end of my second term, and about to begin my third term on the Board.
This is a good time to review what has happened over the past eight years.
A good place to start is the fact that I never wanted to be a county legislator. My decision to run for office came about after I voiced some com- plaints about County government. One of my friends asked me if I could do any better, and then challenged me to get involved. I initially dis- missed that challenge, but it kept nagging at me.
I ultimately decided that I owed it to myself (and the County) to get involved and attempt to make a difference. I am glad that I made that decision, and believe that I have made at least a modest dif- ference. I believe the facts bear that out.
In 2006 the situation was grim. We had just experienced several years of large tax increases, had a significant budget deficit, and were in the midst of building a State-mandated new Jail. Sev- eral individuals told me that I was wasting my time to try and improve things in Allegany County.
There had been a substantial turn-over on the County Legislature, so it was a new group that started work on turning things around. Lots of things have changed.
The County Jail and Sheriff’s Department rep- resent one of the largest departments in County government. The Jail was finished and dedicated during my first year. After going through an initial shakedown phase we began “housing in” federal prisoners. The revenue from “housed-in” prison- ers has paid for the debt service on the jail since 2008. Most years we generate a modest surplus that has been used to repay money the County ad- vanced during the construction phase. Within the next year or two we should be able to start putting
the surplus into a reserve fund to pay off the re- maining bonds early. I must emphasize that the Jail is not making money. It still represents a huge expense for taxpayers. However, taxpayers have not had to pay the construction cost for that build- ing.
As the work on the Jail was being completed we were contacted by the NYS Office of Court Administration and informed that we were in vio- lation of the 1987 Court Facilities Act. We were told that we had to develop a plan for providing adequate court facilities. We were the last county in the State to come into compliance. The initial estimate for building new court facilities was $38 million. Over the next several years we struggled with this new mandate, and were able to obtain ap- proval for a more modest facility. We built a new Court Addition and renovated the old Courthouse for approximately $12.5 million. The new facili- ties are now in regular use. We applied for and ob- tained federal subsidies to help pay some of the interest on the courthouse bonds. The ultimate cost to taxpayers will be about one-third of the original estimates.
When I was sworn in the cost of healthcare for county employees was high and increasing rapidly.
The County had historically “self-insured” this program, but hired a “third-party administrator” to actually operate it for us. The new Board hired a new “third-party administrator” that enrolled county employees in provider networks at substan- tial discounts from prevailing rates. Over recent years this has saved the County millions of dollars.
We also designed a new healthcare Plan that is su- perior to the old Plan, but cheaper to operate.
Today our healthcare costs are lower than in 2008, for better coverage.
I must close this article, as I have run out of space, but I will continue this review next time.
God bless, and have a Happy New Year.
Happy New Year!

New Happenings at the Almond Library
By SANDRA ROBINSON
Almond 20th Century Club Library Director
The New Year will ring in new events at the Almond Library! Be- ginning in January we will be instituting our new calendar for the year.
Each month will have a theme, the first of which will be “Snow In Our Community,” celebrating that fun yet pesky substance that we unavoidably encounter each January in our area. Our monthly craft for Jan. 6-11 will be SNOWFLAKES, so come in anytime to make a few to use for decorating the library. Preschool Storytime will be held each Monday at 10 am, with lots of snowy stories and songs…Brrrr.
Community Coffee (the 4th Monday of each month) will serve up something warm for the morning of Jan. 27 at 10 am. All are wel- come for some coffee, conversation, and/or a cozy place to sip while reading.
Teen Writing workshop will be held Fridays at 4 pm for six weeks beginning Jan. 10, for any teen who enjoys writing…or would like to! And we have lots of crazy days to celebrate through the month…
Bean Day, Joy Germ Day, Dragon Appreciation, and more. Look for our full calendar posted on Facebook, our website, almondlibrary.org, or at various locations around town.
