Cat fight
The cat crisis in Olcott came to a head Wednesday night at a special public hearing before the town board, but little was resolved after about two hours of give and take.

About 60 people attended and the speakers, mostly women, took on the issue. Speakers were spirited, but played by the rules for the most part, addressing the board and not each other.

Newfane dealing with state funding cuts
The Newfane School District is facing a hard road in developing its 2011-12 school year budget, Superintendent Christine J. Tibbetts said Tuesday.
Tibbetts spoke with Board of Education members about the upcoming task of putting together the spending plan, which involves covering a $2.1 million deficit. Newfane will have to do so with $1.7 million less in state aid than it received for this school year, roughly an 11 percent cut. The district will receive $15.6 million in state aid, under the governor’s proposed budget.
State aid makes up 52 percent of Newfane’s revenue. Part of that loss in state aid will be covered by funds Newfane saved from last year’s federal Education Jobs Act. Newfane will use the remaining $745,001 to help offset the aid cut, Tibbetts said. Including the Jobs Act money, Newfane will take a $997,934 cut in aid.
