Erie County Flaccid Stability Board
2009-06-03 15:10:00
The Erie County Fiscal Stability Board has found the Collins Administration's proposed 4-year plan to be acceptable enough to justify it entering into advisory mode, commonly referred to as going from a "hard" to a "soft" control board. In other words, the control board has determined that county government's wild-ass ...
Erie County Planning Board: a 2009 Campaign Issue
2009-04-23 14:03:00
A few years ago, a Regional Framework for Regional Growth was drafted and approved. Let's face it - Buffalo and Erie County are not planned in any sort of cohesive fashion. Instead, everything is haphazard, parochial, and ad hoc. A regional planning board exists in most counties ...

Erie County 2008: Surplus. Wait, what?
2009-02-20 08:09:00
That's what they're saying - that the county ended 2008 with a $5-ish million surplus. Well, I'll be damned. Now if the control board would get the hell out of the way and let the county do its capital and RAN borrowing without a perpetual battle, that'd be ...
The Erie County Legislature Finds Unanimity
2009-02-01 07:29:00
Nothing unites the legislature like the control board's malicious bumbling and stumbling, nor the hamhanded and arrogant incompetence of the Collins administration with respect to the tax bill fiasco. Wasting money and making huge errors isn't very Six Sigma-y, is it? Michele Iannello said: "If we are going ...
Lake Erie SP
2008-12-13 18:14:00
Shameful of me… I stuck this into a ‘holding’ pile… our of sight, out of mind.Sunset, Lake Erie State Park, 2008 Josef Velena in feedback, about a week or so back: Hi, I just wanted to tell you about a new site that I am working on: http://www.recreationparks.net/- Using USGS data, I’ve added records for over 60,000 parks. Here is the link for a park you have written about - Lake Erie State Park: http://www.recreationparks.net/-NY/chautauqua/lake-erie-state-p-ark-brocton If you like the site, it would be really cool if you could mention it in your blog. I think your other readers would find it useful, and the more people who fill out the activity information about local parks, the more comprehensive the site will be. I would also love any suggestions that you have for new features for the site! I’ve seen the site, it’s a nice effort, worth a look, particularly if you’re an RV’er. I’m sure Josef would be interested in yo...

15 Miles on the Erie Canal
2008-11-06 22:29:00
Via NYCO, this New York Times article indicates that the Erie Canal - that meandering waterway we all sort of think of as a quaint anachronism - has seen commercial shipping traffic increase by 280% over the past year - from 15 in 2007 to 42 (so far) in 2008. ...
Erie County Democrats

Len Lenihan was re-elected chairman of the Erie County Democratic Party yesterday. Unanimously. By about 1,000 committeepeople. There was no floor fight. There was no challenge. There was no opposition. There was no impassioned speech by Lenihan opponents. There was no alternative candidate ...

50 Degrees of Happiness
2008-04-10 20:03:00
I was driving to school behind a car that has “H8 Witner” as their license plate number and I couldn’t help but chuckle. Here it is, a beautiful spring day in Erie, PA, which means it is technically above 50 degrees although it doesn’t feel like, but the skies are blue, the sun is out, and the ...

Westminster FSC of Erie: Celebrating 50 years
2008-04-07 06:24:00
Fifty years is a long time for a club to exist and be successful! Just ask Dottie Vassar, one of the founders as well as the first president of Westminster FSC of Erie. In 1958, Dottie, along with others in the Erie area, started the club to promote greater interest in figure skating in the Erie area, in the hopes that one day, the need for an artificial rink would be realized. The club's members skated outdoors on Dauphin Park Pond from 1959 to 1963 (see below right, Dottie is far left), with the club paying boys and girls $1/hour to clear the snow from the pond! In 1964, their dream was realized when construction was completed on the J.M. Cochran Ice Arena. The club has been a member of United States Figure Skating since 1965 and Dottie, now at age 88, continues to be actively involved in the club's success. In addition to being an active board member, Dottie attends Professional Skaters Association seminars, coaches, and runs the U.S. Figure Skating Basic Skills program. The ...
Older Bullies Beat Up a 10-Year-Old Girl, Breaking Her Hip

Is it just me, or have there been a LOT of stories about child violence lately?  Maybe it’s just that the media is reporting more after the whole 3rd graders’ murder plot, but regardless… in Erie, Pennsylvania, a couple days ago, 10-year-old Rikki Triana with her younger sister Nikki at the the Pfeiffer Burleigh playground ...

Culling the Herd
2008-04-01 23:54:00
I did it once back in 2000 and it broke my heart. I had, quite literally, a room full of books and it was time to pare down the numbers. First I counted the total number and then by a very complicated process of consulting calendars, Greek oracles, planetary positions, and devising algebraic equations that ...
Lessons Learned from a Pub Crawl
2008-03-16 19:17:00
1. I’m really getting too old for this nonsense. 2. If I’m going to fork over the dough for an 18 year old whiskey, the bartenders really ought learn how to pour a proper glass. Especially if said establishment purports to be an “Irish Pub” (Yes, I’m talking about you, Molly Branigans). 3. Given #2, said bartenders ...

Lake Erie UFOs Are Stars on YouTube
2008-01-14 20:56:00
Waves of UFO sightings over the waters of Lake Erie are earning the great lake a reputation as a UFO hot spot. But the lake's new popularity may have more to do with a string of popular videos on YouTube than sightings of little green men."It's a hot spot," declares local ufologist Aaron Clark about the beaches of Lake Erie near Cleveland, Ohio. "Some believe there's a UFO base on the bottom of the lake."While not yet rivaling UFO hot spots like Mexico City or Phoenix, Lake Erie has generated enough buzz that news and documentary filmmakers are taking notice. Several Lake Erie UFO videos have made the national news, and The History Channel is airing a segment on Lake Erie UFOs, due to air in February.There have been more than 20 credible UFO sightings in the area in the last two years, according to Clark, a spokesman for the Cleveland Ufology Project, one of the oldest UFO-spotting groups in the country."There's a pattern here," says Sam Phillips, a musician who filmed a UFO hov...

Utterly freakin’ joyful that the holidays are over but then that segues to my least favorite season on the calendar: the season of New-Year-Resolution-Yahoos at my gym.

Recovery
2007-12-27 13:34:00
Holidays are over and I am now, again, at a safe operating distance from my family for maybe another year. I. Am. Worn. Out. Utterly. Seriously, I feel I like I have survived war. The suitcase remains unpacked. The car is still full of travel food and maps. The answering machine remains unchecked. About the only thing ...
Things We Leave Behind
2007-12-10 16:52:00
The stress of last week is starting to catch up with me. This constant moving is really beginning to suuuuuuck. Sailor Man and I are griping at each other because we’re tired. Puppy Dog has fully 75% less house to guard and is totally unsure of what to do with herself. And there’s boxes effen ...

The Mazaltov Workout

As I am normally surrounded by meatheads in the weight room at the Y, I am never without my Nano stocked full of my favorite music to drown out the profanities, inanities, and other verbal assaults on the English language. I was getting into a rut though, I found I was clicking past more songs than ...
An Inside Look
2007-11-24 15:47:00
The Alfred Hitchcock movie “Rear Window” was on for the umpteenth time on AMC the other night, which is completely fine by me. In fact, if I had my drothers, there’s be a whole channel on cable completely devoted to that move and that movie alone. A separate channel for the “The Philadelphia Story” would ...
Homeland Security

I almost comitted murder last night. Truly. It’s rather funny story actually.

The Erie County Legislature is from Missouri
2007-11-23 00:00:00
The Buffalo News Editorial Board made little sense today in its call for the Erie County Legislature to immediately ask that the control board do long-term borrowing. For months, legislatures have been bugging the control board to put up or shut up when it comes to its claim of millions ...

2007-11-22 05:39:00
Strictly speaking, to be caught in a CATCH 22 SITUATION is more complicated than having to choose between two evils. It is more like having no choice at all, since the only apparent way out of the situation is prevented or cancelled by some other element in the situation. read more
