BY GARY DULANSKI You can find many cool alpaca fiber products at almost any festival these days, as well as live alpacas at accompanying petting zoos, and you may imagine alpacas as easygoing animals that have only one defense: well aimed spit. But what you may not have imagined is their importance in the massive environmental clean-up in the Gulf of Mexico. Today there are thousands of alpaca farms in the U.S.; some of them are right here in the Southern Tier and the owners all sing the praises of raising these amazingly gentle souls. Now we are looking to the alpacas for their assistance in the clean-up efforts now in effect in the Gulf by sending alpaca fleece and nylon stockings. The Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association
(AOBA) has sent out a request for 6.6 million pounds of alpaca fibers and 200,000 pairs of pantyhose to be made into oil filters to contain the everthreatening oil slick. According to Tampa Bay Online, nylon stockings stuffed with the requested hair and fleece fibers will be used to drag the surface of the ocean to separate the crude oil from the water; to this end Hanes has donated over fifty thousand pairs of pantyhose. It may sound unlikely that such a lowtech solution could possibly contain a major disaster, but to alpaca farmers like Sue and Paul Mager of Mager Mountain Alpacas in Little Valley, it makes perfect sense. Individual alpaca fiber strands have a hollow core that produces what Paul SEE ALPACA PAGE 9
Sue and Paul Mager of Mager Mountain Alpacas in Little Valley will be donating their herd’s fibers to the Sunshine and Shores Foundation. The fibers will be stuffed into nylon stockings and used to aid in the clean-up of the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

KC and the Sunshine Band Take the Stage at Seneca Allegany Casino in Salamanca BY JEANINE ZIMMER
Inside Business Track: Seneca Allegany Casino Observes Sixth Anniversary ... page 5 By Nicholas Pircio, WPIG 95.7 FM The Seneca Allegany Casino is marking its 6th anniversary in Salamanca this month.

Inside Business Track: Seneca Artz Gallery Love of Art Culminates in Gallery Opening ... page 5 By John Thomas The Seneca Artz gallery opened up last Saturday at 702½ Broad Street in Salamanca. For its owner Bill Crouse, the ribbon cutting was not only an expression of his lifetime dedication to art, but a chance to communicate Seneca ideals and culture to a larger audience.
It didn’t take long for Harry Wayne Casey (KC) and his group to make it to stardom after forming in 1973. By 1975 KC and the Sunshine Band had released mega hits “Get Down Tonight” and “That’s the Way (I Like It)” resulting in a self-titled album that scored triple-platinum status, soon to be followed by “(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty,” “Keep It Comin’ Love” and “Please Don’t Go,” songs so recognizable people jump into phrase as soon as their titles are mentioned. So what was the secret to this catchy rhythm? “Marketability,” KC states in an interview with The Villager. “I worked in a record store and heard the frustration in peoples voices when they struggled to remember a title of a song they were looking for.” KC then came up with his musical formula to success: make the song catchy, make the song happy and “repeat the title in the song a lot.” Well, it worked; between 1975 and 1984, KC and the Sunshine Band recorded 10 songs ranked in the Top 40 of the Billboard Pop Charts. KC has enjoyed a lot of commercial success because of his ability to make his songs marketable. Before recording his own music, he wrote lyrics and produced for many other

This oft-repeated statement is from an old African proverb – “It takes a village to raise a child.” In its simplest terms, the proverb’s main point is it takes more than parents to raise a child; friends, pastors, relatives, teachers, and many others in the community play vital roles in a
child’s development. When I think of the village we live in, the analogy grows in scope. It takes more than the mayor, the peace officers, the village board, the Chamber of Commerce, the merchants, and the local opinion leaders to ensure the steady growth we see each season in Ellicottville is “good” growth. All of us play a vital role in nurturing our expansion and maintaining responsible development. We all witness the ongoing evolution of our small village, growing in popularity as a “hot” tourist destination. The tough part is ensuring the “small town feel” we all love remains intact. It’s a delicate balancing act, to be sure. Fortunately, there’s a long history of this community pulling together to help not just each
other, but also those who make this place their favored seasonal destination. As our population swells and then shrinks, we all roll up our sleeves to make sure our identity remains the same. Some understand this so well they personally take it upon themselves to help with the cause of the hour. On the anniversary of his passing, one must fondly remember such an individual – Mr. Mike Kerns. Guys like this only come our way once in a great while. So, dear readers, by all means – please support the community leaders who do their level best, with what little resources they have, to make the village a home – both for us and for those who visit. Help them whenever and however you can. Until next week … Jeanine Zimmer

Letters To The Publisher Salamanca Business Extends Thanks and Appreciation We own two businesses on Rochester Street in Salamanca. The Philadelphia Furniture/ Fancher Furniture inferno was approximately 1,000 feet from our door. We’d like to take this opportunity to extend our thanks and appreciation to the many people who have helped us over the last 10 days. We couldn’t be more thankful or more proud of the City of Salamanca Fire Department and all the Emergency Personnel from Cattaraugus County. Everyone went beyond the call of duty and not only kept the fire contained but also preserved our businesses. The fire was huge and we know you had your hands full, but everyone was still able to keep the surrounding areas clear of any collateral damage and kept us well-informed along the way. In addition, we would like to
extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to the Salamanca Mayor Jeffrey Pond, Matt Bull from the Salamanca IDA, Senator Cathy Young and her staff, Tom Carpenter from the Governor’s Office, and Verizon Emergency Services. Because of the damage from the fire, the remaining businesses on Rochester Street were without phone and data service for many days. We were initially told it could be up to three weeks before it was restored. Many of us in the Industrial Corridor are just coming out of the recession and the prospect of losing even one customer was not an option. All the above listed offices interceded on our behalves to restore our communication services in a timelier manner. Verizon Emergency services responded to the pressure brought to bear by Senator
Young and Tom Carpenter. We had a temporary fix put in place by the following Wednesday. In this seemingly endless and bitter era of political fighting, budget cutbacks, and beaurocratic red tape from the public sector, it is certainly refreshing to know that our representatives were able to put aside their political differences and come together to pursue a common goal on our behalf. Although you hear about a lot of reasons why the City of Salamanca, Cattaraugus County, and New York State are difficult places to own a business, here is one situation where we couldn’t be more proud to be business owners in Salamanca. Sincerely, Jim and Cyndi Snyder Snyder Manufacturing Snyder Holdings Co., Inc.

Monica Harrington and Sarah Smith of Reflections are collecting hair clippings from their salon to donate to the oil spill clean-up efforts. They are also collecting clean stockings to send over as well. The public can drop off their stocking donations at Reflections.
Reflections Hair Salon, located at 39 Mill Street in Ellicottville, is cutting for a cause. They have enrolled in the “Hair for Oil Spills Program” through the “Matter of Trust” organization and are planning to donate all those loose ends swept up from the floor to aid in the clean-up of the oil spill in the Gulf. There are over 370,000 hair salons in the U.S. and each collects about one pound of hair per day. Matter of Trust is collaborating with thousands of salons throughout the U.S. and abroad that donate their hair clippings to soak up oil spills. The clippings are made into hairmats and used to aid in the clean-up efforts. Hair can also be stuffed into tubes (booms) made from recycled nylons and tied together to surround and contain a spill. To learn more about the Matter of Trust organization, visit their website at www.matteroftrust. org or stop into Reflections.

BY JOHN THOMAS The Seneca Artz gallery opened up last Saturday at 702½ Broad Street in Salamanca. For its owner Bill Crouse, the ribbon cutting was not only an expression of his lifetime dedication to art, but a chance to communicate Seneca ideals and culture to a larger audience. The gallery will mostly feature Bill’s artistry: acrylic paintings, pencil, and colored pencil drawings. “I also make traditional instruments like water drums, horn rattles, headdresses, and turtle rattles,” Bill says. Not only is Bill’s artistry on display, he also intends to feature the work of other native artists. Display cases contain some beautiful pottery made by Pete Jones, a Seneca potter from Cattaraugus. Bill’s idea is to create a coop for various native artists and “encourage young artists.” On the walls, some of Bill’s artwork is hanging. There is an acrylic painting showing two natives pounding corn in a large pot against a glowing forest of rust colored trees with
a bright yellow sunset in the background. Also on the wall are framed examples of Bill’s pencil drawings. One shows the portrait of a women; her hair flows up from her head to create trees and a stream. It seems to be a portrait of Mother Nature herself. Other cases contain handmade dream catchers and small, carved pieces. “You’ll notice there’s a real strong bird and animal presence in the designs that we have in the shop,” Bill tells me. I asked Bill to reflect on his early interest in art. “I’ve pretty much done art all my life, even as a little guy I was doing art.” By the time he reached high school he was selling his work. “When we had the art show at Salamanca High School, I sold so much artwork I had to run around and borrow my stuff back from patrons to showcase. My art teacher was a little miffed when I did that!” he adds with a laugh. But despite his early success, he still had trouble finding ways to get his work before the public. “I would have some finished stuff around and sell to the museum, but there really wasn’t a lot of
outlets for art. It was difficult,” he says about his early days. As well as visual, Bill’s expression involves performance art. Currently he is the group leader for the Allegany River Indian Dances, who travel around the country performing Iroquois Social Dancing at festivals, powwows, and colleges. To Bill, performances have always been a family affair. “When my great grandfather Richard Johnny John was dancing with us, we had five generations of our family performing.” For a while he tried to sell some of his art after the groups performances, but found it too difficult to manage both. He still travels with his dancing group, but when he had the chance to obtain a retail space for a gallery, he jumped at it. For the past 30 years he has been involved in the movement to preserve the Seneca language, becoming coordinator of the language department for the Allegany reservation. “I’ve really made it my life’s work to preserve (Seneca) culture and language, and my artistry is a part of that.”

Seneca Allegany Casino Observes Sixth Anniversary
The Seneca Allegany Casino is marking its 6th anniversary in Salamanca this month. They will continue to bring in top-notch entertainment. Meanwhile, additional construction could be in their future. How does the Casino choose its headliners? The idea is to book acts “that we believe will provide the greatest entertainment value for our patrons.” That’s according to Gus Tsivikis, General Manager of the Seneca Allegany Casino. “The goal is to have patrons come to the shows and stay for slots and table games.” In 2009, the casino celebrated its 5th year anniversary with a car giveaway. They also hold other promotions monthly. This month they’re offering a new, special promotion called Jackpot Plynko. That’s where patrons winning a jackpot Monday through Wednesday from 8am-8pm will have a chance to play the Plynko Game Board for more cash and Seneca Slot Dollars. Tsivikis stated that “we try to hold promotions every month, sometimes multiple promotions, to keep things entertaining for our guests and for variety.” During the past year, the Seneca Allegany Casino featured several monthly promotions, including many VIP parties and events. They brought in a variety of allstar acts, including LeAnn Rimes, Bill Cosby, ZZ Top, Louie Anderson, America, and Montgomery Gentry. As for the coming year, the slate is not entirely filled. Acts that have been booked through this September include The Charlie Daniels Band, Carlos Mencia, Raging Wolf VIII (mixed martial arts), The Scintas, Bill Engvall, Randy Travis, and the Black Crowes. Concert tickets are available at all Seneca Casino box offices, Ticketmaster.com, all

During the past year, the Seneca Allegany Casino featured several monthly promotions, including many VIP parties and events.

Acts that have been booked through this September include The Charlie Daniels Band, Carlos Mencia, Raging Wolf VIII (mixed martial arts), The Scintas, Bill Engvall, Randy Travis, and the Black Crowes. Besides the events center, which can seat up to 2,400 patrons for shows, the casino also houses close to 2,200 slot machines, 32 table games, as well as a 212-room hotel. Construction to add 200 more rooms will resume once financing is in place.
Ticketmaster locations, or by phone at 716-852-5000 (USA) or 416-870-8000 (Canada). Entertainment at the Seneca Allegany Casino goes well beyond concerts. Tsivikis notes, “There’s the Casino Bar, which features live music on weekend nights. And there’s a variety of fantastic restaurants on site.” As for attracting an audience, the shows do well, according to Tsivikis. He points out that the Salamanca hotel is running at 97 to 98 percent of capacity. There are 212 hotel rooms, while the casino houses close to 2,200 slot machines and 32 table games. The casino’s events center is 20,000 square feet and can seat up to 2,400 patrons for a show. New slots have been added at the Seneca Allegany Casino “that are going over quite well with patrons.” One new machine called “U-Spin” is creating “quite a craze.” As for the hotel, the Seneca Allegany
Casino Hotel recently earned the AAA 4-Diamond Award for the second year in a row. Together with the Mansion on Delaware Avenue in Buffalo and the Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel, they’re the only 4-Diamond hotels in the region. Seneca Allegany Casino operations employ about a thousand people. They plan to hire additional employees for the summer, “mostly seasonal, part-time help. It’s all business-driven.” And, “we have just had a successful job fair and hired 90 new employees throughout our three properties.” Regarding physical expansion, plans are in the works to finish the second hotel tower. Some of the steel went up before the economy crashed. “We do have plans” to resume construction once financing is in place. The second tower will result in two hundred more rooms.

Architectural Digest There’s More Than One Way to Renovate an Old House STORY AND PHOTOS BY JOHN THOMAS On July 3, Ellicottville will be the location for the annual Chamber of Commerce Home and Garden Tour. Over the next several weeks we will be featuring some of the homes scheduled to be on the tour. This week’s home will be on the tour. “It’s very interesting, watching your home drive away.” That’s Marilyn Tompkins talking about watching the home they had purchased on Hencoop Hollow Road being hauled away to its new location at the
top of Windsor Road. Marilyn and her husband, Dan had purchased the home as a fixerupper in 1992, and as most renovation projects go, the plans expanded exponentially until the house was jacked up on rollers and yanked off the lot. “We kept the well and the septic system,” Marilyn tells me as we sit in the living room of the house they built in place of the old one. The living room is clearly one of the more interesting rooms in the house. The far end is dominated by a twostory wall of windows broken up by the magnificent stone
The master bedroom includes several singular features. A peaked roof extends over the canopy bed, and an unusual set of custom windows lets in ample light. The top window is framed to match the triangular ceiling. In the basement is a game room, more bedrooms and a bath.
chimney. The windows look out to the deck, the backyard and the forest beyond. While the obvious thing to do with a two-story bank of windows is to create a cathedral ceiling for the living room, architect Roger Johansson of Buffalo decided to do something different. He created a balcony off the upstairs master bedroom that extends over part of the living room, giving it about a ten-foot ceiling. The balcony extends to about fifteen feet in front of the windows, creating a space in the living room that suddenly vaults up to the peaked roof, high overhead. It might seem an odd arrangement until you realize that the ceiling over the living room creates an intimate space, yet the open area in front of the windows gives the feeling of a large space, without feeling like your sitting in a church. The windows flood the entire area with light that ties together the open and more intimate areas. Equally unique and spacious is the kitchen. Just off the living room, it shares a wall with the living room windows. The cathedral ceiling extends over the counter that is the division between the two rooms. The counter also holds the range and cabinets. The tile counter extends around to the back wall, all the way down to the refrigerator. Over the sink are custom windows that extend the line of the windows in the living room. The kitchen provides the explanation why the old house was moved instead of simply being torn down. They traded the old house with the builder for the beautiful kitchen cabinets. At the back end of the kitchen is the breakfast area with its own small cathedral ceiling. Just off the kitchen is a room which the Tompkins are using for a media room, but could easily be a formal dining room. As we ascend the stairs to the second story, Marilyn tells about a debate she and Dan had about the placement of
The living room is clearly one of the more interesting rooms in the house. The far end is dominated by a two-story wall of windows broken up by the magnificent stone chimney. While the obvious thing to do with a two-story bank of windows is to create a cathedral ceiling for the living room, architect Roger Johansson decided to do something different. He created a balcony off the upstairs master bedroom that extends over part of the living room.
the house. Marilyn wanted the house placed close to a tree on the lot, but Dan wanted it away from the tree. As I look out the window of an upstairs bedroom I can see that Marilyn’s opinion prevailed; the tree is almost close enough to touch. The master bedroom includes several singular features. A peaked roof extends over the canopy bed, and an unusual set of custom windows lets in ample light. The top window is framed to match the triangular ceiling. Marilyn tells me she
loves to lie in bed and watch the storm clouds gather. The wall creates a rectangular notch in the windows for a couch or reading area. You can curl up with a book and let the windows provide your reading light. One wall of the bedroom opens to the balcony over the living room. You can look down to your guests, the fireplace, and through the wall of windows. In the basement is a game room, more bedrooms and a bath. Outside I take an envious look at the huge deck
that embraces the back end of the house. The center of the deck is a large curved area that is perfect for an outside living room. Strolling around the yard, there’s no sign of the house that was hauled away; just the amazing home that took its place. It will be featured in the House and Garden Tour July 3. Tickets are $15 advance purchase and $20 the day of the tour. They will be available through the chamber of commerce and other locations, the time and dates TBA.

VACANT LOOK IN BUYERS’ EYES Sellers do not always have the luxury of showing fully furnished homes to potential buyers, especially sellers who have already moved on to another home, furniture and all. When sellers find themselves in this circumstance, they should take a cue from new-home builders, who fully realize the value of furnishing their model homes. Buyers sometimes have a difficult time visualizing how a space would look furnished, as well as how they would imagine themselves living there. With this in mind, sellers of vacant houses should seize their situation as an opportunity. Instead of needing to follow the usual advice of divesting their homes of clutter, they need only rent or purchase inexpensive furniture with which to stage their homes. I have a successful history of assisting sellers to achieve the best return for the real estate investment. I know what ‘bells and whistles’ attract potential buyers. You will benefit from my real estate knowledge and experience. Reach me today at 716-474-5646. Let’s meet and discuss how I will help you achieve your goals. HINT: Professional home stagers can help sellers with vacant properties wring the full visual potential from their homes.

BY DR. DIONNE KRESS The last article I wrote focused on the importance of expressing appreciation and letting others know that you value them. I stated that appreciation was one of the secrets of success and when you practiced appreciation, you experienced a sense of gratitude and a feeling of internal abundance. Today, I want to express appreciation to those of you who read my column. I want to let you know that I appreciate your willingness and interest in reading the insights, knowledge, and inspirational thoughts I attempt to convey.
I felt this was important because I want you to know that what I write about in my column is truly an expression of who I am, how I think, and what I value and believe. The focus of my column generally relates to some occurrence in my life or some insight I had the prior week. Daily, I try to reflect on what has happened in my life and the lessons I can learn. Then I try to relate my experiences to you, my readers, hoping that I can offer some value to your life. In my own practice of expressing appreciation, I would like to thank you for your commitment to reading my column. I consider it an honor to be able to influence your lives simply by sharing mine. I appreciate the opportunity to express my thoughts and experiences, and knowing that others have an interest in reading what I share. I recently meet a dynamic woman who I found both motivating and inspiring. I shared with her some of my life experiences and some things that I do - one of those things being writing this column. She, being a writer herself, gave me some valuable insights about having the opportunity to reach an
audience that is often a mystery. I know you are all out there, but sometimes I do wonder (LOL). As a result of my conversation, I decided that I needed to reach out to you and let you know that I trust that you are out there and I appreciate your time investment and commitment to my column. Being able to express myself to so many unknown readers is truly an honor, and one that many do have in their lifetime. Please accept my expression of appreciation and let me know if there is anything I can do for you. One final thought: at the end of the day, do not forget to take a moment to reflect upon what you are most appreciative. Consciously stop, consider the gifts the day has provided, no matter how big or small. Contemplate the moment, the present moment, and think about what you are grateful for. Make sure to say thanks for the supportive relationships in your life creating the foundation of meaning and value. Life is short and we need to appreciate every moment. Questions? Comments?

“Drill baby, Drill.” Great idea Sarah. But wait. There’s more. I’m feeling quite generous today. Sarah Palin, believe it or not, isn’t to blame for the oil spill in the gulf. She’s just a dimwitted player in a century old game. There’s a lot of blame to pass around. President Obama? He recently, in an attempt to appease his detractors, authorized even more offshore drilling. The Federal Government in general? They’ve allowed the oil industry to run rough shod over the American people for generations. The GOP? They’re pockets are full of oil stained money. This isn’t Alaska. This is Southern Louisiana and, for more than a hundred years, the oil companies have ruined lives and gotten away with it. It’s time for someone to pay. When we think of Louisiana we think of New Orleans. We’re not really sure what the rest of the state is all about. The biggest fear, right now, concerning the Gulf oil spill seems to be the possibility of the slick reaching Florida and affecting the tourism trade. What we’re not thinking about are the people who, for
centuries, have inhabited the wildest regions of the Louisiana bayous. Choctaw. Pointe-AuChien. Houma and Biloxi are just a few of the Native American tribes who have fished the deltas. They’ve seen what the oil companies have done to the land and they’ve had to live with it. They’ve seen over ten thousand miles of canals dug by big oil. They’ve seen the salt water funnel through those canals and kill everything in the way. They’ve had to watch over a thousand square miles of land simply vanish. Lost to erosion caused by the constant drilling and they’ve seen their land decimated by hurricanes that were once slowed by a landscape that no longer exists. As the drills keep drilling in Southern Louisiana the land has continued to sink, leaving those who still live there at the mercy of unrelenting hurricane winds. Now they’ve lost the last thing sustaining their small communities. Their fishing grounds. BP’s latest blunder, or plunder, has decimated the shrimp grounds. There’s nothing left. What amazes me most about these types of spills isn’t how often they happen but the response of the oil companies involved. You’d think that there would be a legitimate contingency plan in place somewhere. There isn’t. Why? It costs less to simply pay for the cleanup than it would to use new technology to prevent the spills in the first place. BP’s first response to this spill was to downplay the significance of it when, in fact, they had no idea what was happening. Their next reaction was to begin pointing fingers at the other two parties involved,
OLD HOME WEEK: JUNE 22-26 ~ FIREMEN’S PARK, ALLEGANY
Transocean and, uh, Haliburton of course. All this before they even began trying to come up with a way to clean up the mess in the gulf. Once the cleanup began it became obvious that BP was more concerned with salvaging as much of the spilled oil as possible. They were more concerned about dollar signs than the environmental and human disaster that was unfolding. These leeches want blood and nothing can stop them. Rest assured. This will happen again. There’s nothing standing in the way of BP to prevent them from simply replacing the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig once the water clears. If it ever clears. If that rig doesn’t blow another will. Or some drunken barge captain will run aground again turning the seas black while he contacts his lawyers. For the Native people of Southern Louisiana, nothing will ever change. They will always be the exploited victims of capitalism run amok. The politicians won’t help them because they love their greenbacks too much. The oil companies won’t help because they simply don’t care and the media won’t help because they simply aren’t captivating enough for a thirty second sound bite. Meanwhile. Hurricane season is approaching and, God forbid, if another Katrina were to strike the gulf while the waters are churning black, the region might never recover. Category four or five winds would pick the oil up like a vacuum and deposit it across the entire south in the form of black rain. “Drill baby, drill.” Brilliant. Comments?

Day Trippin’ Art Alive: A Walking, Talking Art Contest BUFFALO - Join the excitement as Western New Yorkers bring famous works of art to life at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery’s fourteenth annual Art Alive: A Walking, Talking Art Contest, scheduled for Saturday, June 5 from noon2pm.

Art Alive contestants create living representations of their favorite works of art from either the Gallery’s Permanent Collection or any other major art collection. The recreations, called tableaux, have in previous years ranged from Henri Matisse’s La Musique and Jackson Pollock’s Convergence to a creative interpretation of a Jennifer

Breeders outside of South America are even organizing fiber cooperatives that provide commercial outlets for the sale and processing of alpaca fleece. Some domestic farmers often sell their fleece to cottage industries that revolve around hand spinning and weaving, in a variety of ways including raw fiber, washed and carded fiber (the process in which the fleece is made into batting), and other finished products, with lucrative results.

Alpacas calls a “wicking action” that repels water and attracts oil. “We were at a show last weekend,” he says, “they made a general announcement and we’re going to inquire with other farms and send it in one big load.” The other farms include Zaramama Alpacas of Hamburg, Thistle Creek Alpacas of Orchard Park, Maple View Alpacas of Machias, A Slice of Heaven Alpacas of Little Valley, and Cardinal Acre Alpacas of Randolph, “and of course we’re Mager Mountain Alpacas,” he says eagerly. “It’s pretty neat we’re going to be a part of this clean-up … every little bit helps.” Alpaca fleece is shorn in three categories that determine what parts will make quality products. The prime blanket comes from the haunches or thigh area and is used for yarn and clothing. The second blanket is from the neck area and is used for rugs and other non-clothing products. The third blanket is from the belly and legs and this is what is being requested for the clean-up. Alpacas are of a domesticated South American camelid species that at first glance resemble llamas but have subtle differences from their cousins. They come from the Andes Mountains of Peru, Chile and Bolivia where they thrive at altitudes of 3500 to 5000 meters above sea level. Smaller than llamas, they are kept in grazing herds and, in the U.S. at least, are sheared like sheep once a year in the spring. Alpaca farmers with a small herd on a small acreage can harvest their fleece and sell

To solve a Sudoku puzzle, place a number into each box so that each row across, each column down, and each small 9-box square within the larger diagram (there are 9 of these) will contain every number from 1 through 9. In other words, no number will appear more than once in any row, column, or smaller 9-box square. Working with the numbers already given as a guide, complete each diagram with the missing numbers that will lead to the correct solution. Good luck!
