Another first — the top export of the U.S., the biggest gas-guzzling nation in the world, is fuel. The nation is on pace to export more gasoline, diesel and jet fuel than any other single export. A decade ago, fuel wasn’t even among the top 25 exports — the top export being aircraft.
This holiday season, the American Red Cross is urging residents of the Dansville area to give something that means something and help people in need through a donation to the Red Cross.
We should learn from the past. We need to go slow on hydrofracking in New York State.
Your neighbor gets a fracking station, and you and your other neighbors water wells become tainted. Suddenly you can’t drink the water, or cook with it, or bathe or shower in it, or wash your clothes, or water your garden, or water your livestock. Now what do you do?
As National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month comes to a close, those of us involved directly with the Alzheimer’s Association of Rochester and the Finger Lakes region have been busy reaching out to our congressional representatives.
The landowner coalitions, large landowners and NYDEC are prepared to bring safe natural gas drilling to New York.
I would like to thank all those who had a hand in the beautification of Dansville Main Street. The two benches at the Dansville Post Office as well as the new bicycle rack are a welcome addition to our property. Hopefully they will be utilized by all who enter our building, the elderly waiting for the LATS buses, those who want to rest for a few minutes or engage in conversation with a fellow human being. By the same token, I hope that the residents of Dansville will respect the property and keep it beautiful.

The first week in October, along with a small group of New Yorkers from across the state, I visited Washington and encouraged our state’s congressional delegation to support public and private initiatives that will bring high-speed broadband to rural communities.
As a village of Dansville taxpayer and former village board member, I am concerned — although not surprised — about the current board’s most recent appointment of the village superintendent of public works.
As it turns out, this person, who was largely responsible for the appointment of an all Republican board, has now just been appointed the new superintendent of public works. The village administrator was fired by the present board knowing that he had a five-year contract.
If you’re like me, you are getting extremely annoyed by all of the lobbying commercials about “clean coal,” “clean oil and natural gas,” and how technology has made fracking “safe.” I for one am not convinced that there is such a thing as “clean coal” or “safe fracking.”
It’s my hope these facts about high-volume hydraulic fracturing will convince people to demand our rights.
I see nothing is being done and here I go again. What’s with the government going after Gibson guitars for some kind of wood they imported? China can send us concentrate with poison in it, Baby cribs that are faulty, lead in the paint. There is something every day.
I have sat back for the past several months watching and listening to our most recent elected officials in an attempt to understand the real reasons why they choose to run for public office. At this time I find it necessary to bring out the following points and I think we should all be asking for answers to these questions:
I would like to thank everyone involved in the memorial service at Church Park on Sept. 11 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001.
I was deeply saddened last year at my daughter Hannah’s Pre-K graduation when I learned that Ms. Crupi had announced her retirement. It was because of this wonderful woman, that I learned of so many fun, quirky and most important, educational songs.
“Small businesses are the backbone of the nation’s economy.”
We frequently hear this statement from politicians who want us to believe that small businesses are important and they are fighting for us. It sounds good for a television sound bite, but do they really understand the obstacles that we face or the everyday roadblocks that we run into while trying to survive? I pose this question as both a state assemblyman and a small business owner of over 25 years.
My name is Karen Schleyer, and I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I am the Unit President for our Dansville CSEA local and represent the village employees who serve our community. I work in the village clerk’s office and have done so for 19 years.
