Students participate in NYS Science & Technology entry program SPRINGVILLE — Students from Salamanca were among those entering seventh, eighth and ninth grades who recently participated in the NYS Science & Technology Entry Program held at CAM P-TECH in Springville.

The collaborative effort between Erie 2-Chautauqua-Cattaraugus BOCES, CAM P-TECH and SUNY Fredonia provided a grant-funded, weeklong experience in a variety of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) activities.

“We had a wonderful week at CAM P-TECH exploring the many facets of the NYS Science & Technology Entry Program,” said Paula Ferneza, CAM P-TECH principal. “Students worked with four P-TECH teachers and Dr. Michael Jabot from SUNY Fredonia and explored topics such as coding, robotics, drones, electricity, computer programming and even collected data that was used and displayed by NASA.”

Photo submitted Salamanca students Jelena Hawkins, Ava Porter and Marlee Cook work on the NASA-inspired unit with Dr. Michael Jabot, SUNY Fredonia Professor of Science Education in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction.

Along with Salamanca, students from the Gowanda and Silver Creek central school districts participated in the program and rotated between instructors who focused their instruction around the STEP and STEM

models.

Students worked with Dr. Jabot, SUNY Fredonia Professor of Science Education in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction, on a NASA program dealing with

pace, pixels, cloud coverage and landmass temperatures; Jason Fitzner, CAM P-TECH Electrical teacher, who taught students the basics of electricity including current and short circuits; Chelsea Smith, CAM P-TECH

Cuomo’s resignation catches Giglio, Borrello by surprise

BY RICK MILLER Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s announcement Tuesday that he will resign in two weeks surprised both Assemblyman Joseph Giglio and state Sen. George Borrello.

Giglio, a Republican of Gowanda, said he heard most of the governor’s speech on the radio in Albany and quickly checked for transcripts “His resignation is needed now,” said Giglio, who represents the 148th Assembly District that includes Cattaraugus, Allegany and part of Steuben counties. “I don’t know why it’s not effective for 14 days.”

State Attorney General Letitia James’ report — which Cuomo had asked for — detailed the governor’s alleged sexual harassment of 11 women, 10 of whom were state employees, including one female New York state

trooper on his protection squad.

Giglio said, after Cuomo’s attorney spoke just prior to the governor himself, he was convinced Cuomo would fight impeachment.

“I expected a fight,” Giglio said, adding that the governor “tried to discredit the victims.”

Borrello, a Chautauqua County Republican, said the governor’s announcement surprised him as well “because of how dug in the governor has been lately and how defiant he’s been.”

Giglio said Cuomo’s lawyer “tried to shoot holes in the investigation and discredit the victims.” That’s why he was surprised the governor offered his resignation minutes later, shortly after noon. “I thought he was spoiling for a fight. I expected a fight.”

Giglio said, “We’re not

going to be able to impeach him, but he still has to be held accountable for his actions on nursing homes, the book deal and testing relatives and friends for COVID.” He said the Assembly Judiciary Committee “should finish their investigation and make it public. Resignation does not absolve you of anything. His conduct has to be held accountable. His apologies to me rang hollow” when he spoke of “a generational thing and I’m a loving guy.”

But the attorney general’s report, released a week ago, was “pretty explicit,” Giglio said.

He expects James to also investigate charges that Cuomo ordered nursing home residents with COVID-19 who were hospitalized to be sent back to their nursing homes, that state employees aided him

with his book about his handling of the pandemic crisis and he gave preferential treatment to family and friends seeking COVID-19 tests. Giglio believes the U.S. Department of Justice is also looking into the state’s handling of nursing home patients with COVID-19.

Giglio hadn’t figured out what suddenly changed in the previous 24 hours to make the governor decide to resign rather than fight impeachment.

“And why do you need 14 days?” the assemblyman asked.

Transition could be part of it, Giglio noted. “The government will continue to run. The commissioners and professional staff are still available to do their jobs.” The governor, he said, “micromanaged everything in the state.”

JCC recognizes area College Connections students

Erie County Bicentennial Celebration continues with African American Heritage in WNY BUFFALO— The EC200 committee has announced that the third event in the EC200 Heritage Commemoration Series will take place on Wednesday, August 25 at the historic Roycroft Campus in East Aurora with an evening celebrating African American Heritage in WNY, a free event featuring a musical performance by the George Scott Big Band along with speakers discussing African-American heritage in WNY with a focus on the Michigan Street Corridor.

The event will take place on the Roycroft Campus’ Great Lawn from 6 - 8 PM at 31 South Grove St. in East Aurora. Gates open at 5:30 PM. “The third installment of the EC200 Heritage Commemoration Series will provide a great evening of music and education centered on African American heritage in WNY and the Michigan Street corridor’s prominent role in it. This is a wonderful program and one that will be enjoyed by all in attendance,” said Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz. “I commend the EC200 planning committee for the work they put in to present these summer commemoration series events and I thank the Roycroft Campus for being such gracious and accommodating hosts for the series as well.”

“We are thrilled with the continued success of Erie County’s Bicentennial programs on the Campus this summer,” stated Curt Maranto, Executive Director of the Roycroft Campus. “The Roycroft was founded on the ideals of individuality, inclusivity and community; it is an honor to celebrate our rich and diverse culture in

Western New York, while also providing opportunities for new audiences to experience the Roycroft’s history and legacy.”

“On behalf of the Michigan Street African American Heritage Corridor Commission, I would like to thank our County Executive and the organizers of the Erie County 200 for including our founding cultural anchors, the Michigan Street Baptist Church, the Nash House, the Colored Musicians Club and Museum, and the WUFO Black Radio History Collective, in celebrating our great county,” added Terry Alford, Executive Director of the Michigan Street African American Heritage Corridor Commission. “The Commission serves as the connector of the past, present and future of those historic neighborhoods within and beyond our Corridor.

The Commission, along with the anchors to be featured at the Roycroft Campus on August 25th, endeavors to integrate the cultural significance and historic impact made by African Americans in not just the City of Buffalo, but throughout the Buffalo-Niagara Region.

This outstanding event will allow us to share a bit of the history interwoven into the fabric of the Corridor as well

as the vision for its future.”

In addition to a musical performance by the George Scott Big Band, the evening will include a brief introduction by Terry Alford, Executive Director of the Michigan Street African American Heritage Corridor Commission; remarks from Lillie Wiley-Upshaw & Rachel Henderson, Chair & Board Member of the Buffalo Niagara Freedom Station Coalition, who will be speaking on the history of the Michigan Street Baptist Church; Sharon Holley, President of the Michigan Street Preservation Corporation, who will speak on the Nash House Museum, and Sheila Brown, Owner of WUFO Radio and founder of the WUFO Black Radio History Collective, will wrap up the presentation.

Flying Bison Brewing Company will be onsite offering beer tastings, and the Roycroft Inn will be open for additional food/beverage.

Attendees should bring their own blankets/chairs and may also bring their own refreshments; please observe a carry-in/carry-out policy for food/trash. This event is presented by the office of Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz and is hosted by the Roycroft Campus.

SUNY Jamestown Community College recently honored 58 high school students from throughout southwestern New York as the 2020-21 students of the year in the College Connections program.

College Connections, JCC’s concurrent enrollment program with regional high schools, is accredited by the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships. Through the College Connections program, JCC offered 70 different credit courses in 38 area high schools during the 2020-21 academic year, serving over 2,000 students across the re-

Cuomo Resigns continued from 2 Giglio added: “The doors of New York will not close because he walked out.”

Cuomo, Giglio said, “is a political guy. He has been a political guy all his life. He may think he can make a comeback, but I don’t think he’s electable for anything.”

Assuming the Assembly Judiciary Committee issues its report on Cuomo, the Assembnly votes to impeach him and he convicted in the Senate after leaving office, he would be unable to run for office in the state again, Giglio said.

This puts a new wrinkle on the 2022 New York governor’s race, where Rep. Lee Zeldin, the presumptive GOP nominee, has been running against Cuomo for months now.

“They will be running against ideas, no matter who the nominee is,” Giglio said. “The question is how will you run government rather than personalities.

I’m interested to see what’s next.”

budget come next, Giglio said. “The world keeps turning. Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul will have a good staff around her.”

Borrello said, with the State Legislature nearly unanimous in condemning Cuomo’s actions, it’s hard to see how he could survive an impeachment trial in the Senate. “Maybe he thought he could survive like President Bill Clinton survived.”

Cuomo “has caused so much damage in the state,” said Borrello, a frequent critic of the Democratic governor.

A former Chautauqua County executive, Borrello wasn’t happy with Cuomo choosing a resignation date two weeks in the future. “He essentially gave two weeks’

notice. I think the impeachment process should move forward in the Assembly” in case he changes his mind.

Borrello said the impeachment process would “bring about closure to those folks who are victims of sexual harassment or relatives of nursing home residents who died of COVID. There are still a lot of unanswered questions, he added.

What about the lieutenant governor?

“I like Kathy Hochul a great deal,” Borrello said.

“She’s a Western New Yorker. She’s got that common sense personality that we need right now. She’ll be a good transition. I look forward to working with her so we can get back to the business of healing our state.”
