Road work on I-86 begins Monday Lane closures for work on Interstate 86 between exits 17 and 20 is expected to begin Monday, the New York State Department of Transportation announced this week. Work will be within the Seneca Nation of Indians Allegany Territory, in the towns of Coldspring, Red House and Salamanca and the city of Salamanca weekdays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The lane closures are necessary to facilitate a pavement rehabilitation project that is expected to continue
through the end of July 2021, weather permitting. Beginning on May 17, the eastbound left lane of Interstate 86 will be closed for approximately three weeks. Afterward, the westbound left lane will be closed followed by the eastbound and westbound right lanes. Work will also take place on the exit and entrance ramps but they will remain open. Motorists are reminded to move over a lane, if safely possible, or slow down significantly whenever
encountering roadside vehicles displaying red, white, blue, amber or green lights, including maintenance and construction vehicles in work zones. Motorists are urged to slow down and drive responsibly in work zones. Fines are doubled for speeding in a work zone. Convictions of two or more speeding violations in a work zone could result in the suspension of an individual’s driver license.
County lawmakers back pilot law for 12-, 13-year-old deer hunters BY RICK MILLER LITTLE VALLEY — The prospects for a proposed Cattaraugus County local law to participate in a pilot program to allow deer hunting with fi rearms by 12- and 13-year-olds look prett y good. First, all 17 county lawmakers are sponsors of the proposed local law that would allow county residents ages 12 and 13 to participate in the pilot program. The 2021 state budget included a provision that lowers the age for participants in a youth deer hunting weekend. The current youth hunting program includes youth to age 14. County legislators approved sett ing a public hearing May 12, prior to voting on the local law.The resolution was submitted at the April 28 county legislature meeting for immediate consideration — without discussion in committees. Nor was there any discussion on the floor of the legislature, the Republican caucus had already discussed
Vaccine continued from 1 clinic. Individuals sixteen years of age and older who reside, work, or study in New York State are eligible to make an appointment to receive the vaccine. Appointments are encouraged, but a limited number of walkins will be available. Appointments can be made through the Cattaraugus County Website by visiting: www. cattco.org/covid-vacc-info The clinics are as follows: Friday, May 14, 2021 from 3:30 - 5:00 p.m. at the Randolph High School Gym
it privately prior to the meeting. The Environmental Conservation Law the county is opting into provides that a hunting license holder who is 12 or 13 years of age may hunt deer with a crossbow, rifle, shotgun or muzzleloading fi rearm provided they are accompanied by a parent or guardian with at least three years hunting experience and a valid hunting license. The adult must directly supervise the minor and remain at ground level at all times. Both must wear at least 250 square inches of fluorescent pink or orange or a similar hat.Legislature Chairman Howard VanRensselaer, R-Randolph, sponsored another resolution asking the state Senate and Assembly to extend the county’s extra 25-cent per $100 for the county’s mortgage recording tax. State law currently allows the 25-cent rate per $100. VanRensselaer’s request was for legislators to ask the Assembly and Senate

to extend the 25-cent rate Dec. 1, 2023. Another resolution submitted for immediate consideration calls on the New York State Electric & Gas Corp. to maintain its own equipment in an effort to help bring broadband internet services to rural areas of the county. The resolution was submitted at the request of Armstrong Cable, which made a similar request two years ago involving National Grid. In both cases, Armstrong said the requests to replace utility poles by the utility companies was pushing its per mile costs from $20,000 to $50,000 and slowing its cable expansion.The resolution states: “The Cattaraugus County Legislature hereby requests that New York State Electric and Gas Corporation (NYSEG) stop shift ing the cost of its infrastructure repair to Armstrong and other broadband companies and meet its obligation to maintain and upgrade such infrastructure in accordance with NESC standards.”Legislators also approved a resolution to haul the county’s yard waste to Murphy’s Logging Inc., Elton Road, Delevan., which will dispose of a 50-yard container for $80.The county closed its yard waste facilities at the former Farwell landfi ll in Ischua and Five Points landfi ll in Mansfield because it could not control what was disposed of. Yard waste must now be disposed of at county transfer stations.

West Valley Citizens Task Force resolute in WVDP cleanup demands BY RICK MILLER WEST VALLEY — Members of the West Valley Citizens Task Force reviewed its 1998 final report April 28 as the U.S. Department of Energy prepares for the open-air demolition of the main plant process building. The task force meeting, held via ZOOM video, left no doubt that members want all nuclear and other wastes removed from the 200-acre West Valley Demonstration Project. By all wastes, the CTF members mean not only the 175 containers of radioactive glass logs made from high-level liquid waste, but all the debris from the main plant process building, the strontium “prong” in the soil beneath the building, the steel tanks that once held the radioactive liquid wastes and the state and Nuclear Regulatory Commission low-level waste dumps. The April 28 meeting seemed a little more confrontational than in recent years. There was also a disagreement over the nature of some of the radioactive waste — defense or commercial. The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), which shares the cost of cleanup with the federal government, considers it defense waste, said director Paul Bembia. Bryan Bower, DOE site director at the West Valley Demonstration Project said the department didn’t think declaring it defense waste was a viable pathway.
Ashford Supervisor John Pfeffer, a member of the Citizens Task Force for more than 20 years, said he planned to push to have the waste declared defense waste in a bid to get it removed from site more quickly. After reviewing the group’s 1998 final report recommendations, there were a few changes recommended by Pfeffer and other CTF members that strengthened the language. “It’s time for them (DOE) to step up and do the right thing,” said CTF board member Joe Patti. The site has not been fully characterized, he said. “I’m not sure I care where it’s going as long as it leaves.” Patricia Townsend, who was not on the CTF when the 1998 final report was issued, said West Valley is still not a proper site for the wastes located there. Seneca Nation representative Tony Memmo said the Senecas continue to support a full cleanup at the site. CTF member Kathy McGoldrick was the first to mention the upcoming open-air demolition of the main plant processing buildings. She reminded DOE officials that many in the CTF would like to see a tent over the building while it is being torn down to prevent the spread of radioactive dust. Building a containment structure over the five-storymain plant process building would add an estimated $10 million or more to the demolition cost. Pfefer expressed concern that the cleanup seems to be going on forever. The Phase
2 cleanup, the extent of which is still being studied, won’t start until after the main plant process building is demolished to grade. “I would much prefer the work being done safely than in a hurry,” added CTF member Ray Vaughn. Several members also expressed concern over future federal funding for the cleanup and monitoring of the site. The cleanup is currently being funded at a $75 million level for five years. The site was operated by Nuclear Fuel Services to reprocess spent nuclear fuel rods from nuclear power plants from the mid-1960s until 1972 when it closed for renovations but never reopened. Congress approved the West Valley Demonstration Plant of 1980 to fund the cleanup. Pfeffer agreed April 29 that the CTF meeting had been a little more confrontational than usual over the issues of true waste and the main plant process building demolition. The Ashford supervisor feels that covering certain parts of the building during demolition — areas known to contain high levels of radioactivity — would add a level of protection to the community. Many community members are concerned over the open-air demolition, he said. The contractor for the cleanup, CHBWV, has worked at removing contaminated equipment and
piping from the building for the past 10 years. Radioactivity has penetrated some concrete surfaces. Pfeffer said his concern is for a major flooding event or wind storm during the demolition could spread contamination. He said current plans call for demolishing small parts of the building at a time unlike the vitrification building, which was demolished quickly three years ago. Debris was not removed quickly enough. Pfeffer said he hopes the Department of Energy begins holding public meetings to discuss their plans for the open-air demolition. “It’s in the community’s best interest to get out the message.” DOE and CHBWV officials are expected to attend the May 12 meeting of the Ashford Town Board to discuss their plan. “I’m going to demand multiple public meetings,” he said. “I also want them to tent part of the building when its’ demolished,” Pfeffer said. The supervisor said he feels safe with the WVDP plan for monitoring for radioactive contamination from dust during the demolition. Proximity monitors would sound an alarm before it ever got to the fence line. The question is “How do we reassure the community?” Pfeffer asked.

Seneca Nation donates hand sanitizer to local school districts With vaccines in wide distribution and COVID-19 infections dropping, the Seneca Nation is donating hand sanitizer to school districts near its Cattaraugus and Allegany territories, recognizing that a continued focus on simple public health protocols is the best defense against future outbreaks. The Nation recently delivered one pallet each of 3 oz. containers of Suave hand sanitizer — 4,704 containers per pallet — to the Gowanda, Silver Creek, Lake Shore and Salamanca school districts. “Though it appears we are thankfully nearing the end of the pandemic, it’s critical that we don’t let down our guard and continue to take all the necessary steps to protect our communities against COVID-19 and other illnesses,” said Nation President Matthew Pagels. “Keeping your hands clean is a simple yet highly effective way to safeguard your own health and the health of others, and the Nation is pleased to be able to contribute these important resources to help our
students, their classmates, friends and teachers all stay safe.” This donation comes on the heels of the Nation’s partnering with the districts to provide COVID-19 vaccines to eligible students and staff, again recognizing that safeguarding public health is a collective effort that requires collaboration across governments and communities. "Thank you to the Seneca Nation for their partnership and support as we work together to navigate this pandemic,” said Dr. Robert Anderson, Gowanda superintendent. “The donation of hand sanitizer to our district is much appreciated by our school community and will greatly assist in keeping everyone healthy and safe." Lake Shore superintendent Dr. Charles Galluzzo added, “Our relationship with the Seneca Nation has become even stronger as we work together to keep our students safe. This gesture by the Nation is yet another example of that partnership, which provides important and appreciated
resources for our students.” “The Silver Creek Central School District deeply vappreciates this donation and our continued joint efforts with the Seneca Nation of Indians to minimize the spread of COVID 19,” Silver Creek superintendent Todd Crandall said. “It has been gratifying to strengthen our collaboration on behalf of all our students, families and communities.” “A series of small efforts – like keeping hands clean – goes a long way toward combating a wide range of illnesses, including COVID-19,” Salamanca superintendent Robert J. Breidenstein commented. “Working together during the pandemic to keep our students and staff safe is one more example of the valued partnership we enjoy with the Seneca Nation.” In addition to its partnership with the school districts, the Nation worked with Cattaraugus County officials to conduct a series of vaccine clinics for County residents at the Seneca Allegany Events Center inside Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino.
In all, approximately 1,500 individuals were fully vaccinated at the events. Native American communities were disproportionately impacted by the
coronavirus pandemic, with Native people dying from the virus at nearly twice the rate of their nonNative counterparts. The Seneca Nation has worked
tirelessly throughout the pandemic to protect its people and appreciates the cooperation and support it has received during this difficult and challenging time.
