OLEAN – The first day of school Tuesday at Olean City School District went fairly smoothly considering five schools are still undergoing $27 million of renovations that will continue through next summer.
Although many projects are not complete, Olean public school students attended classes without any delays or major hitches, school officials said.
OLEAN — The Tour of Interesting Homes, sponsored by Literacy Volunteers of Cattaraugus County, will present its seventh annual tour Saturday, with 12 homes open for viewing.
The event started in 1994 to help balance the budget of the organization and for publicity. The first year the homes were in Olean and in following years homes were in in Allegany, on Cuba Lake, in Ellicottville and Portville.
An Ellicottville woman who was named a runner-up in the national Make Your Mark Contest recently had the opportunity to have her photo taken by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz for the contest.
Elizabeth Wintermantel Bares, who was among the finalists in the contest sponsored by Bayer Healthier Pharmaceuticals, said her recent visit to New York City to meet Ms. Leibovitz and other famous women was an honor.
BELMONT — Warren Emerson, 58, retired from his position as law clerk for Judge Thomas Brown on Friday, closing out a career of more than 25 years in public service in the Allegany County courts.
