Aceh: Empowering tsunami victims to rebuild their lives
11 November 2005
by Deborah Tomasowa
I am here as part of a celebration event held to mark the first harvest for Meulaboh since the devastating tsunami at the end of 2004. Seeing life return to this rice paddy is almost miraculous, considering that tsunami-driven seawaters fouled this same paddy not even a year ago. Even a few months ago, many parties speculated that it was the end of rice-farming on these lands as we know it!
The piles of golden rice plants take me back to the days when I first entered Banda Aceh just four days after the tsunami had struck. Behind the headlines and the bustling streets filled with reporters were the tireless efforts of emergency workers dedicated to delivering help and bringing some sense of normalcy after the tremendous loss suffered by the Acehnese.
Now, some nine months after the disaster struck, some UN agencies and many international humanitarian organizations have remained to provide assistance for specific sectors, including work on children's welfare, environment, or education programmes. Mercy Corps is among those organizations. A massive operations team of around 200 people has now long replaced the small assessment team of six people that initially responded to critical needs in the tsunami's wake.
Over these past months, things have certainly changed drastically—for the better from my perspective. Challenges are still evident in some villages we work with, however. Lack of housing continues to be an ongoing problem in the displaced communities of Aceh. I see families in government-provided barracks still living under disheartening conditions due to insufficient facilities and lack of village infrastructure. Additionally, many vital small businesses have yet to revive due to lack of financial resources, market access, or supporting facilities.
Looking at the magnitude of the damage, it may take years before environments are cleaned, reconstruction is completed, and the economy revitalized for the communities we work in. We are here for the long haul though. We remain guided by the philosophy that all reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts we provide must respond to the needs expressed by the communities themselves. Our programmes have also focused on an overarching purpose: to return people to their villages. Support phases have changed from emergency aid and relief assistance to long-term recovery and sustainable development.
Let me offer an example. In Meulaboh, we continue to support numerous local associations of farmers, fishermen, and livestock producers by providing cash grants and the tools and equipment they need to return to their livelihoods. More than one hundred boats have been repaired, which has allowed fishermen to return to the sea.
One key to the success of our post-tsunami programs is believing that the affected individuals have the capacity to rebuild their own lives. Continuous talks and discussions between Mercy Corps staff and affected communities are critical to understanding how we will continue to succeed in providing the assistance that's most appropriate.
We have, for example, been installing new water and sanitation systems in a number of villages, but our programme includes forming a water committee for each community. A water committee—made up of local individuals—determines the most suitable ways for the community to use this new facility. We are now seeing these committees perform as independent units empowered to sign agreements with water companies to maintain and determine payment for any water system installed in their community.
There is certainly a lot of reconstruction and recovery left to be done in Aceh. But all of it is more successful when people are empowered to make choices to return to their former home, or begin a new life altogether. By engaging local governments, businesses, organizations, and the families themselves, this approach has worked. These communities have shown that they have the ability to not only recover, but also to triumph over the many hardships they have faced.

Ruins BAP and BAGM
Last time I checked they were already on the Oilers? At least they were in my game even before this latest roster update.
That sucks. I've been waiting for a roster update as well. I was more concerned with getting Hall, Eberle, and Paajarvi on the Oilers. That team will be a dangle show with them added. Defense still sucks tho.
HankthaTank - Squirrels, they hate to be thrown. / Why is the magical unicorn named Brian... Jedi - I just downloaded the "kids" book, "Go the F--k to Sleep" as narrated by Samuel L. Jackson on my kindle. I am now ready to be a daddy. / *Checks Router* No, I'm positive I didn't hit the "Wings Defense Sucks" button. Electrophile - I'm just glad the Wings were able to win despite the Curse of Brian. ACallToArms - I think Trey needs to put something about payroll tax and deferred income in his sig...

hey guys I dont know if any of you are gamers like me...but ive been waiting for the new roster update for NHL 11 for god knows how long..and finally it came out today and they STILL havent added Smith, Lashoff, Andersson or I Filppula!
just wondering if this has annoyed anyone as much as me...does anyone know why they havent been added??
and if they ARE in the game, PLEASE TELL ME how to find them!!
its driving me crazy...
Thanks for the info on the update. Need to do that here in a few. Before this update became available, you were able to go online play and the system updated you to a "current" roster when made available that way. In regards to why iFlip, Lashy, and the rest aren't on yet, it's because of legal reasons.
NHL11 Update
One of the reasons we took so long with the update is as you all know we now have 10 leagues in our game (CHL being three of them) so each league has different guidelines to which players we can and cannot use. So unlike you (our consumers), we cannot create any player we want and just put him in the game, we must get clearance from each individual league before we can proceed in creating him.
So with the NHLPA, all we have to wait for is when a player has stepped on the ice for his first shift in the NHL, we can then create him. If its a goalie we can create him when he is on a score sheet as a backup. For the AHL we have to wait for each player (even if hes in the game already) to sign his PHPA form. This form is what makes any player playing in the AHL a member of the Pro Hockey Players Association which in turn lets us use his name and likeness in the game. This is why youll see players that are in the game currently on a CHL team (prior to this update) that are no longer in the game until they return in a future update as soon as they have signed their PHPA agreement. In terms of the CHL, there are over 400 players we added as the league has massive turnover. This affected every roster and because of this we had to get these players in the game otherwise we would have players who are no longer part of the CHL in our game to fill out rosters.
...I agree, it's frustrating to start the GM mode when there aren't certain players available...
Posted 02 November 2010 - 10:26 PM
as to why players aren't there, its because they havent signed their release forms. in the nhl, you are eligible to be in the video game once you play a game in the league. but in the ahl, you have to sign your form and return it to the league. or else EA cant use you. its extra tough because with the CHL players this year, some players were previoously in the game on their chl team from last year, but are not 'gone' because they arent eleigible on their ahl team.
I love Maltby, but to say he wasn't a ****** is a dis-service to his career of douchebaggery.

Dang, the 16th? I made the mistake of buying this the day it came out. Between the messed up rosters and all the bugs this game collects dust as I play nhl 10 instead.
Read somewhere on the EA Forums that a new update is due Nov. 16th. I'm hoping so, since I just got the game yesterday, but won't play a season without proper rosters (and I'll be damned if I'm doing it by hand!).

This week on Channel 9, Dan and Brian discuss the week's top developer news, including:
Oops, something didn't work.
Woot Woot , CH9 Live @ MIX !!
Hey! To set the record straight, *I* didn't record Access Hollywood. My TiVo recorded those things as Suggestions. That's what the (S) appended to the tweet means. I have little to no control over it.
Feel free to make fun of the non-(S) recordings though. There are plenty of crappy shows I actually DO watch.
Ok, since the "S"s are off limits, how about...
Cheaters: "Husband has another woman"
Cheaters: "Boyfriend has found someone new"
Cheaters: "Wife gives her love to someone new"
See? Told you I watch plenty of crappy shows you can make fun of.
LOL, Isn't it worse that your Tivo has decided based on your TV tastes that you would like shows like Access Hollywood?!
It's not based solely on taste. For a while, it thought I loved Univision and Spanish television. Though, El Sabado Gigante is pretty great.
Codeplex supports Mercurial?
Wow apparently it does.
OK, so it took me 8 episodes to notice... but I'm lovin' the increase to 1280x720 for the Hi-Res WMV download.
Twittering Tivo is the latest result of more disk space. I am glad that in the future I will be able to show the public how much I love to watch TMZ make fun of people.
sir i wan to develop a mobile augmented reality application plz kindly let me know wheter slartoolkit will be useful for me or not please kindly mail me sirr

Microsoft Technical Evangelists Jeremy Foster and Michael Palermo kick off this course with an engaging discussion about how to design a Windows Store app. After outlining the differences between Web apps vs. Windows Store apps, they illustrate the eight traits of Windows App Design.
Complete course outline for Developing Windows Store Apps with HTML5 Jump Start:
This series of videos is a great way to help prepare for Exam 70-481: Essentials of Developing Windows Store Apps using HTML5 and JavaScript.
Oops, something didn't work.
Really like the webcasts! Good job!
Will there be a voucher code for this 70-481 exam as well?
For sure the videos motivates to do more with this techniques.
A great set of tutorials to teach about Windows Store apps, I really like it, its improving my skill to develop apps for the store, Thanks MS Evangelists,
Abu Bakar Sadeeq
This video doesn't seem to match up. I started watching before and got the first video, but now, it says "day 2" even though this is module 1, part 1. What's up with that?
Very usefull videos to start developing the Windows Store Apps in HTML5.
good job..
Sudhir Malireddy
@Xander: This was a two-day Jump Start event and we split them up in to two different course offerings. So this is the first module of the second day. Hope that clears it up a bit.
It is indeed a great video series.. thank you for putting it together..
@JeffKoch:this 481 exam, and most of the videos (from module 2 part 2 ) are from exam 480.
Different title and different content. please corect the links.
Learning html5 semantics and structure, the elearning video is very exciting and helpful.
Where is the code for 70-481 exam.They said it is also avialable with this...?
Why did they exchanged their t-shirts? :D
Did anyone find the code for 70-481? I was all excited about 70-480, but there are no more promo codes available. It's only January and they are all gone.
Do a search Liz, there is another code now. I believe it is 'HTMLMPN' - allows free testing for 70-480. Like the code before it, I'm sure it has only so many uses / claims.
Will you recommend a JavaScript book - preferably one that delves into the DOM similar to what ya'll covered on the other series. Great videos btw... and I will look for Michael on Pluralsight! Students get a free 90 subscription through Dreamspark - might want to plug that for Microsoft. *grin*
I will recommend u to go for the book professional javascript for web developers(wrox)
Great information. Thanks
Thanks again Jeremy ,Michal and jeff.
really helpful too not only in exams but in actual development.
Passed in 70-481

A smoking UTESIL that someone blows thru to dillute the smell of weed going into the air. FOR EXAMPLE, after you take a hit of weed you would blow the rip through a plastic bottle or an empty toilet paper roll stuffed with any brand of fabric softner (ie. Bounty, Bounce, Snuggle, etc.) inside of the bottle or roll. Thus filtering the smoke and turning the smell of weed to fresh laundry!
Don't forget to blow thru the fucking floogie SO MY MOM DOESN'T SMELL THE KUSH, BITCH!

This week in Occupy, Egypt and Greece held watershed elections, Jamie Dimon was mic-checked at a Senate hearing, thousands marched in New York against stop and frisk, some key occupations had no choice but to close up shop and the Occupy National Gathering responded to Bill Maher.
#On the eve of Jamie Dimon's testimony before the Senate Banking Committee regarding JPMorgan Chase's $2 billion trading loss, Occupy the SEC and the OWS Alternative Banking Group sent a letter to Tim Johnson and Richard C. Shelby of the Committee posing serious questions that needed answering. Unfortunately the Senators lobbed softballs at Dimon. He was, however, mic-checked by five members of Occupy Homes DC, including a disabled former paramedic who lost her home due to J.P. Morgan's unethical business practices and is now facing eviction. They chanted "Stop foreclosures now!" and were led away in handcuffs.
#Parties supporting a bailout saving Greece from bankruptcy won a slim parliamentary majority on June 17, beating radical leftists who rejected austerity.
#In a slow, somber procession, several thousand demonstrators conducted a silent march down Fifth Avenue to protest the NYPD's discriminatory and illegal stop-and-frisk policies, which single out minority groups and create an atmosphere of martial law for the city's black and Latino residents. The policy also leaves serious scars.
#Earlier this week, a panel of judges appointed by deposed Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak dissolved the popularly elected Parliament and allowed Ahmed Shafik, the toppled government's last prime minister, to run for president. On June 18, Shafik was defeated by the Muslim Brotherhood's candidate, Mohammed Morsi, in the country's first free presidential election.
#Occupy Wall Street, Occupy LA and Occupy NL staged casserole marches in solidarity with the Quebec student movement, which has passed the 100-day mark. New York's Infinite Strike Marches are staged every Wednesday at 8 p.m. In Vancouver, it's casseroles gone wild. Ontario students dropped a banner at the University of Western Ontario's convocation. Meanwhile, Quebec government lawyers defended Bill 78, an anti- protest law, in court, arguing that it's "in the public interest."
#The Anarchopanda has taken to the streets in open protest of Bill 78. Yes, panda.
#Last week, Bill Maher issued some advice to the Occupy Movement, believing it to be the last hope for the country. The Occupy National Gathering issued a swift response.
#Police and private security forces have raided a protest encampment of anti-fracking activists in Pennsylvania. For two weeks, neighbors and concerned citizens had been helping to stave off the eviction of more than 30 families in the Riverdale Mobile Home Park in Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania, after residents were told they had to vacate the property because the land had been sold to the giant private water corporation Aqua America.
#Daily Kos ventures that recently staged occupations by undocumented activists at Obama campaign offices in Colorado, Michigan and California are likely responsible for the timing of Obama's executive order to halt deportations of Dream-eligible youth. Sure, why not?
#NY1 froze Occupy Congressional candidate George Martinez out of a scheduled televised debate, which was eventually cancelled due to a death in his opponent's family.
#Austin Guest and Marisa Holmes, veterans of Liberty Square, have brought the principles of the park to their Crown Heights apartment, including sustainable living and codes of conduct designed to prevent one person from dominating a conversation.
#A band of Occupy Wall Street protesters who call themselves "Occu-pirates" are facing off with the Parks Department over the right to keep a sailboat-turned-protest vehicle docked in the 79th Street Boat Basin and stage drum-filled demonstrations down the Hudson River.
#Mayor Michael Bloomberg has cut funding that may result in 8,000 evictions, while homelessness is at a record high. Meanwhile, he's privatizing New York, piece by piece. Today it's parking meters.
#The Guardian thinks it knows why Bloomberg vetoed a living wage bill.
#An NYPD officer has been indicted on manslaughter charges in the shooting death of Ramarley Graham, an unarmed 18-year-old, in his Bronx home in February.
#Here's a history of the antagonism between Trinity Church and Occupy Wall Street penned by OWSJ editor Allison Burtch for Animal NY.
#More than 450 people gathered outside a JP Morgan Chase in Houston's Skyline District for a peaceful demonstration calling for the end of poverty-wage jobs in Houston. Many of them were janitors who make just $9,000 a year. One person was arrested after attempting to help a protester trampled by a police horse. Exactly 22 years earlier, the situation for Los Angeles janitors wasn't so different.
#Occupy Our Homes MN surprised dozens of Freddie Mac employees at a corporate luncheon in Bloomington by "foreclosing" on them. The group also successfully pressured Citibank to cancel a scheduled sheriff's sale and approve a loan modification for the home of Occupy Homes MN activist Nick Espinosa and his mother, Colleen McKee Espinosa.
#Orlando police jailed Timothy Osmar in December for 18 days for writing revolutionary slogans on the sidewalk in chalk in front of city hall, only to drop the charges. Osmar turned around and filed suit, alleging that his First Amendment rights had been violated, and won – big – proving that it really is cheaper to respect a person's constitutional rights.
#The week of June 11 was Resolutions Week, during which local organizers held events to increase public awareness and put pressure on local, city and state governments to pass resolutions calling for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.
#The remaining two members of Occupy the Farm will not be charged, meaning that there will be no charges filed against any of the Gill Tract Occupiers. So their occupation was illegal how…?
#A report found that the Oakland Police Department mishandled the October 25 Occupy Oakland protest. But there's plenty of blame to go around – according to the report, the problem started at the top, with Mayor Jean Quan.
#Occupy Oakland is protesting against a recent ban on the use of shields by rallying outside the home of the council person who proposed it.
#The last of the Occupy DC tents at McPherson Square have been dismantled, effectively ending one of the oldest remaining encampments of the Occupy Movement.
#Protesters #occupied the Chicago Department of Public Health and refused to leave until they had a letter of resignation from Health Commissioner Dr. Bechara Choucair and a promise that six closed clinics would be reopened. Six were arrested.
#The Seattle Noise Brigade swarmed Capitol Hill to protest student debt.
#Carmen Pittman of Occupy Atlanta is fighting to save the home that's been in her family for generations.
#Occupy Portland got a note from the city telling them that they are no longer allowed to hold meetings in the park without a permit. Apparently they haven't read the Bill of Rights. This, after a fence-mending baseball game occupiers played on June 11 against city employees.
#Twelve members of Occupy Philly were found guilty of "defiant trespassing" and conspiracy stemming from a November sit-in at a Center City Wells Fargo Bank.
#An indictment has been returned against three NATO Summit activists accused of plotting to fire bomb Mayor Rahm Emanuel's home and President Barack Obama's campaign headquarters.
#The Oakland Unified School District will close five schools that predominantly serve minority children. Parents and teachers have pleaded with the Board, and even filed lawsuits, to no effect.
#David Bronner, president of Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps, #occupied a 64-square-foot cage to draw attention to the federal prohibition on growing industrial hemp until police cut him down with a chainsaw. Yes, a chainsaw.
#Molly Gambardella, class president at North Haven High School in Connecticut, won't be addressing her class from the dais at graduation because of her involvement with Occupy North Haven, for which she briefly lived on the New Haven Green.
#Occupy Fresno has a hater website, so they must be doing something right.
#Occupy the Hamptons is kicking off the summer with some direct action in Sag Harbor.
#The Occupy Caravan reached Reno and Salt Lake.
#Palestinian footballer and hunger striker Mahmoud Al Sarsak is near death in Israeli detention. He's fasting in protest at being held for almost three years without being convicted of a crime.
#Over the weekend, members of Occupy Moscow staged an unsanctioned protest outside the offices of the Investigative Committee to support an anti-corruption blogger who was there being questioned. Ten were arrested. On June 12, 60,000 poured into the streets of Moscow chanting "Russia will be free!" Demonstrators there will soon have to face a mammoth badminton-based weapon, as Russian law enforcement is ready to test a shuttlecock machine-gun. Here's a little more about the brave Russians facing off against Putin, and here's a profile of Occupy Abai.
#Police have evicted the last Occupy London campaigners from Finsbury Square. "Thanks to all those who support Occupy, and Finsbury Square," the Occupy LSX website read. "We tried to make a difference, at least we tried."
#Three hundred indigenous Amazonians, including small farmers, fisherfolk and local residents, #occupied the massive $18 billion Belo Monte Dam project, a temporary earthen dam recently built to impede the flow of the Xingu River. Residents gathered in formation spelling out the words "Pare Belo Monte," or "Stop Belo Monte," to send a powerful message to the world prior to this week's Rio + 20 gathering.
#Activists in Bulgaria have joined up to form Occupy Eagles Bridge in response to controversial amendments to the Forestry Act that benefit their "shady" oligarch.
#As soon as the Spanish government requested a bailout plan from the European Union, Democracia Real Ya! filed a motion with the Spanish National Court against those responsible for the crisis.
#Workers at China's notorious Foxconn factory, which manufactures Apple products, were greeted with police after attempting to redress their grievances regarding work conditions. Dozens were arrested.
#A leaked draft agreement revealed that the Obama administration is pushing a secretive trade agreement, the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade pact, which could vastly expand corporate power, allowing foreign corporations operating in the U.S. to appeal key regulations to an international tribunal which would have the power to override U.S. law. "Go local" campaigns could be threatened by the agreement. The TPP is being called "NAFTA on steroids."
#The House of Representatives has overwhelmingly passed a resolution urging the president to oppose any policy toward Iran "that would rely on containment as an option in response to the Iranian nuclear threat." In other words., the drumbeat for war has been sounded.
#The Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against Gov. Rick Scott over his contentious push to remove thousands of potentially ineligible voters from Florida's voting rolls.

#In a speech at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said, with a straight face, that "government-compelled disclosure of contributions…is nothing less than an effort by the government itself to expose its critics to harassment and intimidation."

Keo's baby became a YouTube star when her birth was videotaped.
Now the people at Dolphin Quest Hawaii who take care of Keo's baby and 12 other dolphins that delight visitors to the Big Island say it's time to hold a name-the-baby contest.
Keo's baby, who turned 2 months old Saturday, needs a name and so do her two young playmates, the babies' caretakers at Dolphin Quest Hawaii said Friday.
Keo, a 12-year-old first-time mother, gave birth Sept. 17 in a manmade lagoon at the Hilton Waikoloa Village resort, where visitors are encouraged to touch and swim with the dolphins.
"We have little baby milestones, and she surpasses every one of them. She is growing beautifully and very inquisitive in her environment," said Katie Rice, Dolphin Quest Hawaii's manager of marine animals. "When all three of them are playing together it is really adorable."
Keo's baby is "bright, alert and a bit rotund," said Michelle Campbell, Dolphin Quest's director of animal management. The 27-year-old Pele gave birth to a "momma's boy" who likes to melt into the arms of his trainers, and 28-year-old Kona's male calf is adventurous and "ready to take on the world," Campbell said.
As of Friday, Keo's birth video had been viewed 53,511 times. The video shows Keo in labor with tail emerging first and then baby popping out. The calf darts to the surface for air before returning to swim by her mother's side.
Dolphin Quest Hawaii officials have said that in the wild the survival rate of babies born to first-time mothers is about 50 percent. Rice said Keo's baby is doing fine and all the dolphin babies have passed a crucial 30-day mark and are thriving.
Keo's baby likes being a star, resort officials say.
"I think she is a diva . . . and she knows it," said resort spokesman Mark DiMartino.
Submissions for names should be Hawaiian words, preferably ones reflecting each baby dolphin's personality. The contest runs through Dec. 14. Suggestions can be made in person or online. Winners will get a swim for two with the dolphins and a photo CD to remember the experience.

Whenever former pro football player turned acclaimed songwriter and performer Mike Reid gets the chance to stop back to Altoona, he does.
Despite living in Nashville, he regularly comes back to his hometown to visit family and friends, or will purposefully drive himself up in order to stop by on his way to New Jersey, where he is a resident composer for a small theater.
"When I drive, the closer I get to Altoona, as I get to the outskirts and 17th Street, I just get a great feeling," Reid said during a recent phone interview. "Sometimes, that stuff is in the biology and it's beyond explanation."

Mike Reid performs during Penn State Altoona commencement exercises this May.
Reid will step into the Mishler Theatre and let more than just those closest to him know he's in town when he plays a public performance at 7:30 p.m on Sept. 29. Proceeds from the already popular ticket sales will benefit CONTACT Altoona.
Reid played a similar concert in 2008 to a sold-out crowd. This concert will commemorate CONTACT Altoona's 30th anniversary.
"I've always loved my hometown," Reid said. "If you're gifted with years and you get to live, your port of entry, the place you came into this world, becomes increasingly important."
Fact Box
If you go
What: Mike Reid benefit concert for CONTACT Altoona
When: 7:30 p.m. Sept. 29
Where: Mishler Theatre, 1208 12th Ave., Altoona
Details: Tickets are $35 and $50 plus processing fees. They can be ordered online at https://pk772gp914.boxpro.net/C23bownet.ASP or by calling the box office at 944-9434 after Sept. 4.
Reid "came into this world" in Altoona in 1947, and growing up in the city outskirts provided him with what he called a "wonderful childhood." After attending Penn State and playing college football, he was a first round draft pick by the Cincinnati Bengals in 1970.
Leaving behind his successful pro career, Reid performed with touring bands and as a pianist with several well-known orchestras. He went on to sign a songwriting deal with a small publishing company for $100 a week, and moved to Nashville in 1980.
"That's when, really, the hard, fast pursuit of the life of a songwriter began," Reid said.
He has become known for co-writing tunes like Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me" and for winning a Grammy for Best Country Song with "Stranger in My House," recorded by Ronnie Milsap.
But Reid said he wasn't raised on country music, and was initially inspired and influenced by the church hymns he heard growing up.
"I loved those hymns," he said. "They were songs of comfort, songs of surrender and comfort. I loved that and I think it reflects in a lot of songs that I've written."
Reid's love for his hometown also reflects in his songs, some of which he said he'll perform during the Sept. 29 show. He also enjoys telling stories and engaging the audience, especially his hometown audience.
"Often, people like to hear how something was written, why it was written and what it's about," he said.
The way he engages the audience is just one reason why Donna Gority, former Blair County Commissioner and CONTACT Altoona board member, enjoyed Reid's performance in 2008 and became a fan of his music.
"He is very easy to listen to," she said. "It's a concert almost anybody can enjoy."
Gority will introduce Reid and act as MC for this year's benefit concert. She said it's wonderful that Reid would once again volunteer his talents to raise money and awareness about CONTACT Altoona.
"I expect that we will sell out the Mishler again this time," she said.
Terriann Grove, executive director for CONTACT Altoona, hopes for the same result so that the organization can continue to boast its overall support programs and reassurance helpline. CONTACT Altoona's staff of 85 volunteers answered almost 23,000 helpline calls just last year, Grove added.
"The helpline is a place for folks to turn when they have nowhere else to turn and need someone to talk to," she said. "It's confidential, anonymous and free."
Grove also enjoys how Reid shares personal stories onstage, and that he has written songs specifically about the local area.
"His music creates a beautiful picture of where he grew up and where we live," she said.
Because songwriting is such a solitary endeavor, Reid said he relishes the opportunity to assist others. He added that he hopes to provide a quality performance locally.
"I'll work very hard to put something that I hope is worth people's time together," he said. "When they come, they're going to give their hard-earned money and a little bit of their time, so I want it to be worth their time."
Reid's most recent work has been writing for musical theater, an interest he's grown ever since he was involved with a musical production in college while out of football with an injury. He has had shows produced in London and New Jersey, and a four-character piece he wrote is currently "fighting for an off-Broadway life," Reid added.
He said he's found writing for theater to be a tricky business, but enjoys how it's opened up a "whole other musical palette" for him.
"The creative life is always pushing off the dock into the fog, in a sense, and not being really sure what you're doing next, but looking for something you hope will be of some value," he said.

ALBANY – When advocates get their way on an issue at the state Capitol, they usually disappear, quietly and happily.
Not so with a group of Buffalo parents who helped lead the political push in Albany last year to get a law enacted that cracks down on liberal dispensing of prescription painkillers that can be highly addictive.
Now, this same group of parents is back at the Capitol, saying the Cuomo administration is failing follow through on the second phase of their effort to combat prescription drug abuse: expanded drug treatment.
"While this was a wonderful law, they're dropping the ball and leaving thousands fighting for their lives," said Patricia McDonald, a Buffalo resident whose daughter, Adrianne, died two years ago from a heroin overdose following what she believes was an addiction to potent prescription painkillers.
With much fanfare, Cuomo and lawmakers last year approved the Internet System for Tracking Over-Prescribing Act, or I-STOP. Key provisions kick in later this year, including "real time" tracking of painkiller prescriptions to prevent overdispensing.
At Cuomo's side were several parents, most from the Buffalo area and Long Island, whose tragic stories involving their dead or addicted children became the plot lines to help get the law approved.
Though happy then that the new law was approved, many of those same parents today are seething.
"When I-STOP passed, it seems like the support from the governor's office stopped," said Avi Israel, who was one of the central lobbying forces to get the law approved. His son, Michael, 20, killed himself in the family's North Buffalo home in the midst of an addiction to painkillers.
The administration disputes these claims and says it is taking a proactive approach to deal with drug addiction. Moreover, it believes there are enough treatment slots to meet the demand.
Some providers and these parents dispute that claim.
Treatment officials talk of long waiting lists to get into residential facilities, which some say is often needed to break an opiate addiction. One facility in Buffalo has up to 70 people at a time on a wait list.
Several parents contacted The Buffalo News after a recent article about the effects I-STOP has had on curbing prescription drug abuse to say they had to travel as far away as Florida to find available beds for their addicted relatives and friends.
Some area parents who helped lobby for I-STOP were at the Capitol a week ago to drum up support for additional treatment options. They talked of a meeting they attended last August at the Capitol – after I-STOP's passage – to begin a push for more treatment beds.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo's chief health adviser, James Introne, showed little support, they complained.
"He said we were wasting his time," said Cheryl Placek, a Niagara Falls woman whose son, Daniel, a 28-year-old Navy veteran, committed suicide while addicted to prescription painkillers. Her comments were backed up by Israel and McDonald, who both attended the meeting.
The Cuomo administration strongly disputes that Introne, a veteran health care expert whose first top state job in the field was during the administration of Gov. Hugh Carey, was disrespectful to the group of parents.
Asked why they were speaking out now about a meeting that happened six months ago, Placek, McDonald and Israel said it was because they had hoped the Cuomo administration would address their concerns.
"What made us stay silent was the hope the state was going to do something," Israel said.
The parents, who have no direct stake in the effort because their addicted children have died, are grateful the administration is adding 25 treatment beds apiece for the Buffalo area and Long Island. And 100 new beds are coming next year for veterans, 25 in Niagara County. But advocates in Western New York say it is not enough.
Addiction experts have differences over treatment. Many physicians believe opiate replacement therapy – with such drugs as buprenorphine – offer far better results than residential treatment and other counseling therapies that they say have high relapse rates.
Federal data shows New York had the second highest number of people – 123,000 – behind California in addiction treatment facilities in 2011, the state officials point out. And New York had the highest percentage of opioid treatment programs, methadone clients and people using buprenorphine, they added.
A Cuomo administration group working on the issue has identified several barriers to more treatment beds, including lack of providers and costs. That group believes that goals will include access to methadone and buprenorphine and expanded treatment in office-based settings, which will be a better option to people in rural areas.
The state is now requiring medical directors in its addiction treatment system be authorized to prescribe buprenorphine and that new medical directors coming into the system be board-certified in addiction medicine.
But at a state budget hearing last week, lawmakers raised concerns about rising opiate addictions and treatment options.
"What I'm suggesting is not enough money is in the budget to handle the explosion of opiate addiction in New York State. Why is that?" Assembly Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Committee Chairman Steven Cymbrowitz, a Brooklyn Democrat, asked one of Cuomo's point persons on drug treatment.
"Assemblyman," responded Sean Byrne, executive deputy commissioner at the Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services, "we currently believe we have sufficient funds to respond to the demands we are seeing."
"So you will be able to eliminate the explosion of opiate abuse?" the lawmaker asked.
"Stopping the proliferation of the circulation of illegal drugs is not something that's directly in control of OASAS. That's something that's more appropriately the function of policing agencies," Byrne said.
"So," the lawmaker asked, "there is enough money for treatment services to all those with opiate addictions?"
"Yes, sir. Yes, sir," Byrne responded.
In later questioning, Sen. Tim Kennedy, a Buffalo Democrat, told Byrne that his own agency's statistics show that only 16 percent of the residential treatment needs in Western New York are being met, while in New York City, 111 percent of the need is met because of an overabundance of beds.
Byrne disputed that there is a shortage in Western New York, or anywhere in the state.
As of last week, he said, the treatment system had available beds for any addicts in need. Officials Friday said the statewide drug treatment system has an 82 percent utilization bed rate on most days, meaning as many as 1,000 "intensive resident beds" are available.
But providers in Western New York say there is a shortage, and that state officials have told them to send people in need to unused facilities in New York City – a route they say is therapeutically unworkable if families are to be involved over the months of treatment.
"You'll always hear providers say we can do more with more," Byrne told Kennedy during the hearing.
Kennedy called the official's answer "a play on numbers."
Prescriptions for hydrocodone, a painkiller, in Erie County were more than triple that of any other controlled drug between 2008 and 2010, according to the state Office on Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services.
In the four years ending in 2011, noncrisis admissions to drug treatment providers for prescription opioids rose 74 percent to 1,462 cases. Three-quarters were for people age 35 and under.
"This is a problem that's not going away. This is a problem that's going to be magnified as I-STOP is implemented and there is more of a need for this addiction services," Kennedy told the Cuomo official last week.

Anna Swansea, Regno Unito, on Sep 12, 2012
My Husband and I were married in Sorrento on May 21st 2012. We are from the UK, so the thought of organising our dream wedding overseas in Italy was a daunting task, untill we met Paola in January on a research trip. Paola immediately took away all our worries and began to plan our wedding. Frequent e-mails and updates on progress and ideas made us feel organised and excited. We arrived a week before our big day and had a meeting with Paola at Palazzo Marziale, to decide on Menus, we had so many requests as our guests had many food preferences. Paola catered for every guest and their requirements almost individually. We then visited the florist to choose our centrepieces, button holes and bouquets. Which was great because we got to meet the florist and choose our flowers personally. I had sent Paola a photograph via e-mail of the cake I would like, and she had already organised musicians for the ceremony and a DJ for the evening prior to our arrival. Paola was so valuable during our planning stage, her insight and contacts locally made access to all services very easy, and she does this at no extra cost. We held our ceremony at The Cloisters of San Francesco, which was amazing. The palazzo Marziale is across the street from the cloisters which is ideal, it meant that we didn't waste time transporting guests, we were a party of 52 so organising transport would have been costly in Sorrento. On our arrival at the palazzo we were greeted by Paola and the head waiter Luigi, who gave us a glass of sparkling prosecco and walked us in to greet our guests. Luigi was highly attentive, to my husband and I, and all our guests. We held aperitif at the Palazzo on the terrace, and it lasted about an hour. The food and drinks were truly amazing, all our guests were blown away. It was so relaxed and everyone seemed to enjoy. The musicians Paola had arranged for the ceremony played throughout the aperitif which gave it a classic Italian feel. Dinner service was flawless and the food was spectacular. We received so many compliments from our family and friends. The whole day ran so smoothly, our cake arrived and it was exquisite, an exact replica of the picture I had sent Paola, and it really was the best wedding cake we had ever tasted. The party lasted untill midnight, Paola had arranged taxis to take all our guests back to their hotels (taxis are hard to come by in sorrento at that time of night, and are very costly, but Paola had arranged a fixed rate which was very reasonable). We had a fantastic day, we couldn't have imagined having our wedding reception anywhere else. The day after our wedding Paola e-mailed us to say she had boxed up the remainder of the wedding cake, when we went to collect it, she had cut it up and boxed it and presented us with a bottle of prosecco to say thank you. I cannot recommend Paola, her team and her venue highly enough. I have already recommended this venue to two of my friends who now plan to marry in Sorrento. I myself work in the hospitality trade, so am quite difficult to impress, but my husband and I were thrilled with the service at Palazzo Marziale, and are planning to spend our first anniversary there.

How are they not innovative. I won't be getting this next iPhone by the way but apple is definetly innovative. Just because they put there products together with components made by other companies does not make them not. Every new product so far although not new concepts are revolutionary and have all changed the area that they are in very much like no other products. Is it because the next generation of these products are just improvements on the previous and not completely different. That's wrong. I am not an apple fan but they are revolutionary and they still seem to control were the markets that they have products in are headed. I love my iPad but because of my hatred of ios I will never be getting another I product. But innovative they are and like them or not they are still the company with the big target on there back and should be for at least a couple more years,
38. santaclaus (Posts: 52; Member since: 20 Jul 2011)
I am not saying Apple is not innovative because they are using other companies' parts. they are less innovative than they were before. you look at the Iphone 4s, is there any revolutionary features? No! it is just similar as Iphone 4. there will be amazing products to be announced but I doubt there will be any "revolutionary" things to be announced on that day

49. aokde (Posts: 186; Member since: 09 Jul 2012)
i didn't say they are not because they use other companies parts, there's no single company on earth that produce their own parts.
the only innovative product was the first iphone (and i can argue also that it's not revolutionary, other companies were also developing touch screen products...). every iphone released after that is not innovative. there were phones with buttons to silent it immediately, there were phones with front facing camera (if you know, the first time apple put the front facing camera, fans were like wooooowww they have a front facng camera), etc etc etc, i can't think of a single apple product that is innovative.
also, tablets are useless. they are big smartphones and just that. until this day, i can't find ONE reasonable reason to buy a tablet. so the ipad, just like any other android tablet is sh*t (i say android tablets, not windows tablets, because windows tablets could come with core i5 processors thus be productive...that's for the mean while untill oter tablets can be powerful enough...)

@aokde the same reason people hate on Stephen Elop for Nokia's sales figures, or the President of the U.S. for every little thing that goes wrong in their lives, or God (or whatever a non-atheist believes in) for them not being born famous and important trillionaires without a care in the world. He was the face of the company, and a seemingly crazed bipolar megalomaniac, but folks seem to think he alone came up with every single apple product, despite the evidence of hundreds if not thousands of apple designers and engineers (or paid plagarists and copy machines, however you wish to see it)

Apple invented metal back cover with 2 tones excellence and Apple patented hundreds of ideas that never make to the market.

i think they reinvented unibody metal back cover and now without glass

I don't think you should be able to patent something you don't build. You should have a working prototype to get a patent. If I have a great idea but don't know how to mechanically make it happen, then you (w/o seeing my idea) come up with the same idea and build one yet are not allowed to bring it to market.....my point is the patent police is broken and is stopping innovation...IMO.

Um, HTC has had multi-tone metal-backed covers for years... Unibody design, too.
Your argument is invalid.

I hate to say it but there is no denying that Apple's "never apologize" policy and "reality distortion field" technique work wonders for them.
one more row of icon and it is "The Greatest Event in Human History"

There was Apple reality distortion field till 2011. Then begun "Apple hater reality distortion field".
37. joey_sfb (Posts: 5756; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)
The hate start will apple choose to ligatrate over innovate.
Apple Reality Distortion is fading as many of my apple friends agrees with me that they are no longer the same company.
41. AppleConspiracy (Posts: 637; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
They were the same company from the start - from 2nd Steve Jobs' Era in 1997.
What has changed is the conciousness of trends - it's trendy now to hate Apple, because this hate has been accumulating for 3 or 4 years now.
For instance, I was having a very bad time trying to convince my friends that Apple is evil company, however they only saw Microsoft as evil. Now, they are too convinced. But that still doesn't comfort me, because they still don't understand the true problem, they merely took over the growing trend.
Now, Apple haters are true sheeps. They don't actually know what is Apple, but they hate it nevertheless. Because now it's good thing to hate Apple.
It's a classical dichotomy between high culture and mass culture that follows it when it's already late.
54. joey_sfb (Posts: 5756; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)
Steve Jobs reign ended with his death. The new apple under Tim Cook is inconsisent.
He spoke of peace and cooperation yet we see a lot of lawsuits popping out like mushrooms.
Steve Jobs was outspoken against Android but he still choose to compete with it in the marketplace.
Samsung Galaxy S outer shell has the resembles of the iphone 3GS and did he choose to sue Samsung in 2010, no. He came out with the iPhone 4 which is a better design than both 3GS and Galaxy S.
Innovate Apple! Innovate!
55. AppleConspiracy (Posts: 637; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Please, not "suing Samsung" argument again...
102. joey_sfb (Posts: 5756; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)
whats wrong with reciting the facts! For me and a lot apple fan that action is unwarrented and illogical. Apple devices will get ban eventually. Its now 6 apple devices vs the world.
Its not that hard to get all apple devices banned.
Keep up the good work, Tim Cook.
106. AppleConspiracy (Posts: 637; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Nothing is wrong with reciting the facts, but those are wrongly interpreted facts. The only fact here is that Apple sued Samsung, but everything else is an interpretation based on mass trends without knowing even the most fundamental reasons for suing, not to mention that society and mass media completely misunderstood the whole problem and by making Samsung the good guy and Apple bad, made one of the greatest misinterpretations of 21st century culture.
So, to be even worse, everyone use this misinterpretation as an argument to legitimize any kind of expressing hate or at least deprecation towards Apple.
So please, make better arguments. Your own for start.

It'll be pretty much the same iPhone except with the stupid taller design and LTE. They'll probably boost the processor to a 1 GHz A5X and the RAM to 1 GB. Something that Androids have had for years now.

UNIVERSITY PARK - Eric Shrive came to Penn State five years ago from West Scranton touted as a five-star recruit, the player who was going to be the anchor of the Nittany Lion offensive line for years.
It didn't turn out that way. Shrive got on the field here and there, but his play never reached its hype.
On top of that, Shrive went through the most tumultuous period of Nittany Lion football. The Jerry Sandusky scandal. The firing and death of legendary coach Joe Paterno. NCAA sanctions that stripped the team of scholarships and allowed some of his most talented teammates to transfer and kept them from playing in a bowl game their final two years.
Article Photos
Mirror photo by Patrick Waksmunski
Penn State seniors gather for a photo before their final game at Beaver Stadium on Saturday.
Shrive wouldn't have done anything differently.
"Absolutely not. This is a great university, a great school. I was very fortunate to be able to come here and get a free education with a lot of great guys," Shrive said. "Really, I think it's going to set me up for success when I leave here in two weeks and down the road."
Before Saturday's 23-20 overtime loss to Nebraska, Shrive and 15 other Lions walked to midfield, joined by their families to be recognized at Beaver Stadium for the last time as outgoing seniors.
"It stings, because it's senior day, and it's the last home game, so it's probably doubled," said defensive tackle DaQuan Jones, probably the most accomplished of the players announced prior to kickoff. "The emotion, I can't describe it. Before we got on the bus, I was nervous. I had butterflies all over like it was freshman year. That feeling kind of stuck with me the entire game."
This senior class went through a lot, and it also had the unenviable position of following the Michael Mauti-Michael Zordich class that was so beloved for how it handled the adversity that its year was placed on the facade of the Beaver Stadium suites alongside those of the Nittany Lions' other greatest teams.
This class probably won't enjoy that same treatment, but Lion coach Bill O'Brien recognized its value. During the week leading up to the game, he credited this senior class as being one of the big reasons he returned to Penn State when several NFL teams courted him following the season.
"It has a special place in Penn State history. This senior class stuck with this program and stuck with this university during a very tough, tough time. I think everybody needs to remember that," O'Brien said. "This senior class will go down as just a special senior class as last year's senior class. They could've left, they chose to stay."
The other Lions who played their final home game were linebacker Glenn Carson, guard John Urschel, defensive tackle Kyle Baublitz, center Ty Howle, tackles Adam Gress and Garry Gilliam, receiver Brandon Felder, safeties Stephen Obeng-Agyapong and Malcolm Willis, tight end Matt Lehman, punter Alex Butterworth, fullback Pat Zerbe, tackle Kevin Blanchard and guard Bryan Davie.
State College product Alex Kenney also suited up for the final time at Beaver Stadium but didn't walk out during the pregame ceremony with his classmates for reasons about which O'Brien wouldn't elaborate. Kenney did get into the game, and O'Brien said Kenney probably would run track at the university.
Both Baublitz and Gilliam could have returned for another year of eligibility but decided against it.
"I'm settled with my decision, and hopefully it plays out the way I'd like it to," said Gilliam, whose career has been sidetracked by injuries but who will graduate next month with majors in business management, advertising and psychology before hoping to get a shot at playing professional football. "Six years is a long time, especially with what I've gone through at Penn State. I just felt that it was time that if the next level's going to work, then it's going to work. I'm going to train as hard as I can to make it work, but, if it doesn't, I have my degrees to fall back on."
Baublitz, a starter, was expected to return but just decided it was time, too.
"I'm physically and mentally footballed out," Baublitz said. "I'm ready to move on. It wouldn't be right for the team if I came back half-in, half-out. You have to be fully committed."
O'Brien paid a nod to Lehman by letting the tight end, who was injured in the season opener with Syracuse, walk out as one of the captains on Saturday.
"Matt Lehman probably won't get a sixth year [of eligibility], so I decided to make him a captain today and couldn't think of a better guy to be captain," O'Brien said. "He's a guy we missed this year and just wanted to let him go out there and do the coin toss."
Lehman was one of the best stories on the team. The only married player on the team, he transferred to Penn State from Shippensburg after experiencing a Nittany Lion game as a fan and walked on. In 2012, he had 24 catches for 296 yards and three touchdowns.
"He's a great guy. He's been a great leader for us. Even since he was injured, he's always stayed around us, making sure we stayed level-headed," sophomore tight end Jesse James said of Lehman.
James said this year's crop of seniors had a profound effect on him.
"I hang out with a lot of the seniors - Ty Howle, Gress and Carson, Shrive and Zerbe," James said. "We're really close as a group. We're always talking in the locker room. They're always giving us advice on how fast it goes and how to live college life."
Jones felt the mark he hoped the 2013 seniors left was one more on the hearts that on the field.
"We just showed that no matter what happens, you don't have to run. The grass isn't always greener on the other side," Jones said. "I feel this class, as well as last year's showed people that Penn State is still here, we can still compete with the best, and we're going to be around for a while."
Shrive might have been the Penn State fans example of what they wanted a Nittany Lion player to be. He will turn over the presidential reins of Uplifting Athletes to linebacker Ben Kline when he graduates and always was a positive spokesman and role model for the football program. He might be best remembered for carrying Paterno off the field on the night of the late coach's 400th career win.
Shrive counted the overtime wins against Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois his last two years among his favorite moments, and said he felt sorry the Lions couldn't add another memory Saturday night. He left Penn State with much, though.
"I think we learned a lot while we were here," Shrive said. "This isn't the only adversity we're going to face in our lives. Moving forward, I think our experiences here at Penn State are going to prepare us for the future."

Comedians Amy Poehler and Will Arnett have welcomed their first child, a boy.
Archie Arnett was born on Saturday and weighed in at 8 lbs., 1 oz., their rep Lewis Kay said in a statement.
"Amy, Will and Archie are all healthy and resting comfortably," Kay said.
During the "Weekend Update" segment of Saturday Night Live, Poehler's co-anchor Seth Meyers announced to a cheering crowd: "Amy Poehler is not here tonight because she is having a baby."
Poehler, 37, revealed in April that she and Arnett, 38, were expecting.
"I've been very lucky," Poehler told PEOPLE in July. "I'm feeling good, and I'm just overwhelmed with blessings."
Meyers recently told PEOPLE that the cast was thrilled about the baby. "We're all excited for her," said Myers. "I think she's going to be a great mom."
Besides welcoming the new member of the family, Arnett will star with Kristen Bell in the big-screen comedy When in Rome, and Poehler – who is leaving SNL this year – will return to NBC in the spring as the star of an as-yet-untitled primetime comedy.

On Tuesday, Collier started to get some of that redemption with two hits, an RBI and a run scored as the Javelinas downed the Surprise Saguaros 5-2 in the first game of the season for both teams.
Collier singled with two outs in the bottom of the fourth to drive in Reds prospect Donald Lutz and give Peoria a 2-0 lead.
Another Phillies prospect, catcher Tommy Joseph also picked up a two-out RBI single in the bottom of the sixth, again driving in Lutz as Peoria extended their lead to 3-0.
Third base prospect Cody Asche played for Peoria, but went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts.

I think that's a very interesting and worthwhile effort. Have you thought about making your player in Silverlight?
The player on Channel9 is Silverlight, so the WMV files there are already perfect for streaming and wouldn't need to be downloaded. The Ajax MediaPlayer control that's part of the ASP.Net 3.5 Extensions has built in support for time-based subtitles. Or alternatively, with Silverlight 2.0, you could also easily write this in C#. And you'd have easy access to call web services or WCF services back to your transcript repository.
Best yet, you can use
Silverlight Streaming to host your player and get free high bandwidth distribution worldwide.
I'll try to contact you through your blog. Let's not distract the discussion from the webcast.

ALBANY – If Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo is trying to pressure the Seneca Nation to resolve a bitter money dispute with the state by threatening to let a non-Indian casino locate in downtown Niagara Falls, it doesn't seem to be working.
After weeks of silence following claims by Cuomo and his advisers that the governor is serious about a plan for a his Niagara Falls casino if the $600 million casino revenue sharing dispute is not soon resolved, a Seneca leader said Monday the tribe is not worried about the state's increasingly tough words.
"I don't think we're taking it as a threat. Period,'' said Seneca Tribal Councillor Bryan Gonzales, who was in Albany Monday with other Native American leaders from around New York to discuss ways to improve relations between the state and the Indian tribes.
"To us, it's competition. You look at Atlantic City, Las Vegas. That's what makes people better: competition. So that's kind of the stance we're taking on it,'' Gonzales said in an interview.
The state and the Senecas have yet to resolve the dispute, now in arbitration, over the tribe's refusal to pay $600 million in revenue sharing payments because they claim the original compact giving the Seneca Nation exclusive gambling rights in a large section of Western New York has been repeatedly violated by Albany.
The dispute has caught the three local "host'' communities – Niagara Falls, Buffalo and Salamanca – in the middle because they, too, are supposed to get a portion of the casinos' slot machine revenues under the deal by the tribe and former Gov. George E. Pataki.
Sources say the tribe is insisting on an extension of its exclusivity compact, which expires in 2016, for there to be any deal with Cuomo. They also want new restrictions on the marketing abilities of racetrack-based gambling halls in Hamburg, Batavia and at the Finger Lakes racetrack Canandaigua so that they can no longer advertise themselves as casinos or that they offer slots. Technically, the "racinos'' can only offer video lottery terminals, which sound and look like slots but are legally considered to be lottery games.
The Cuomo administration declined comment Monday.
The clock is ticking because Cuomo and state lawmakers are negotiating a plan to permit up to seven new non-Indian casinos in undetermined parts of the state. The administration earlier this year floated the idea that Cuomo was open to a casino being located near the Seneca-owned casino in Niagara Falls. The governor said at a recent Buffalo News editorial board meeting that he is "very serious'' about the idea of putting a casino near the falls if the revenue-sharing dispute is not resolved.
Cuomo, sources say, has met with Seneca Nation President Barry Snyder Sr. three times in recent months.
At the meeting of leaders and representatives of the major Indian tribes in Albany Monday, officials said the Cuomo administration should be taking advantage of the growing economic development influence of Native American tribes, especially upstate. Several called on Cuomo to name a point person to handle relations with the tribes in the state, and urged that he name Native Americans to the state's 10 regional economic development councils that advise the administration on how to spend job creation money.
Ray Halbritter, representative of the Oneida Indian Nation, said it is fine the state is spending money to lure businesses to New York. But, he added, "I couldn't help but to think to myself that New York state has assets here right under its nose … These are the Indian nations who are right here in this state.''
He added that unlike some corporations, New York's tribes are here to stay on their lands. "This is our home and it will be our home until the end of time,'' said Halbritter, whose Central New York casino and other business venture employ 6,000 people, most of them non-Indians.
Gonzales said, "With the Seneca Nation being an economic engine in Western New York, we just wish the governor would want to be more involved with that.''
"Their main message is economic development,'' said Sen. George Maziarz, a Newfane Republican who chairs the Senate's Indian affairs panel that conducted Monday's session with the Indian tribe leaders. "They'd like the cooperation of the state rather than be in a competitive position with the state, and I think it's probably a good thing to do.''
