Belmont, NY --- The values of our county committee, and by extension our party, are simple -- opportunity, equality, and fairness under the law for all people. We are finally in an era where women are encouraged and supported when they speak up about sexual harassment. In all instances we wish to see the law upheld and justice done.
As regards the accusations against Governor Cuomo, we support Attorney General James' investigation and trust it will uncover the truth and lead to justice.
As regards the admitted sexual misconduct by Rep. Tom Reed, we believe the House Ethics Committee must follow its charter and launch an investigation immediately.
In both cases, we stand for truth and justice. If these men are guilty, they must not be allowed to remain in public office.

HAMILTON-GIBSON STAGED READING PERFORMANCES OF "BLESSINGS FROM THE PANDEMIC" ARE THIS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, APRIL 3 & 4 ON ZOOM
 |
Photo by John Eaton Kate Sholonski of Wellsboro reads the first of her three poems. It begins "Today, I will make room for everything" and urges us to take stock of where and who we are as the first step in moving forward in a healthy way despite the stress of the pandemic. Sholonski has been involved with HG for nearly three decades, acting in plays, serving on the HG board, helping begin the Acting Up program and as an HG audience member. |
Hamilton-Gibson's performances of "Blessings from the Pandemic" are at 7:30 p.m. this Saturday, April 3 and 2:30 p.m. this Sunday, April 4 with the entire cast reading the first and last poems, "A Prayer for Now" and "A Prayer in Honor of the Angels,” Each actor will also read three poems apiece.
"When we first discovered author Rich Orloff's 'Blessings From the Pandemic', I was hesitant to present it," said HG Director Thomas Putnam. "I knew it was a poetry cycle of 60 poems but wasn't sure they would fit in with our zoomed staged reading series. I also wasn't sure if audiences would want to spend any time with the word 'pandemic' let alone embrace the idea there was anything 'blessed' about it," he said.
"And then I read the poems,” said Putnam. “I knew right away this was exactly what we all needed. First, the poems are so accessible. They are more like meditations. Some of them are titled prayers or blessings or reflections. All of them explore a discovery, say what's so and offer hope. They ask questions and step back and muse, which encourages us to do the same," he said.
“For the very first of our zoomed staged readings on Feb. 20 and 21, eight HG actors presented 24 of Orloff’s poems plus the first and last ones. "The audiences' response led us to decide to do 21 others with seven new cast members for our Easter weekend performances on April 3 and 4," Putnam said. "The content is just as powerful, if not more so."
Orloff began writing the poems on March 18, 2020, shortly after America's response to the pandemic began. Each one averages one minute to 90 seconds. "They are all powerful pieces and the 15 actors who have performed them have been enriched by the experience," said Putnam.
"In framing poems as questions, Orloff makes you think and feel," Putnam said. In one, he asks: “Would I like you so much if you weren't six feet away from me?”
Another expresses a universal ache: “Today, over a month since I've felt the touch of another human, I meditate" followed by a litany of ways to connect...without physical touch.
“Why are you in such a hurry to feel okay?" Orloff asks and then writes: "The road to happiness is not an Interstate. It is a bumpy road filled with potholes and each pothole offers blessings.” "It is Orloff's reframing of situations we've all faced in the past 12 months that makes these poems so timely and needed," Putnam said.
"'A Prayer about Sorrow' begins with the words 'Oh beautiful sorrow that startles me out of complacency’ and reminds me I have needs whether I want them or not. The poem then explores a growing relationship with sorrow and offers it as a positive," said Putnam.
“The other day a friend asked If we'd ever return to normal and I wondered what exactly is this thing called normal?" writes Orloff. “In another, he extols the wonders of embracing the 'muck' in our lives so we can discover our past and connections with others," Putnam said.
At the end of the 30-minute performance, audience members will be invited to stay on Zoom to talk about what they saw and heard with Putnam and the cast. Readers are: veteran actors Kate Sholonski, Terry Babb, Sarah Vickery and Charla Kibler, all of Wellsboro; Anne Acker, formerly of Coudersport who now lives in Wellsboro; and newcomers Dan Paxson of Wellsboro and Cameron McLean of Nelson who have never been in an HG play until now.

Think About It
Scars
by
Pastor B.J. Knefley
Every morning when I stand before the mirror I am reminded of the scars on my body. Primarily the result of one surgery, they decorate my upper body and remind me of the blessing of life for without them I probably wouldn’t be here today. I have other scars too. Some you can’t see because the doctor painstakingly sewed me back together with such precision that they’re virtually invisible.
Scars are normal in life. They come in many ways. Some are planned, others are not. Some are seen, some are not. Regardless, they each tell a story. For example, I have one on my head that came as a result of being hit with a can full of rocks that a girl threw. We were swimming and diving for the can. I guess I got in the way of her throwing. The most difficult scars are the ones that came as the result of emotional trauma and deep woundedness. Those are hidden and out of sight and often we don’t want to bring them up because they’ve never healed.
I believe that it is those wounds, the wounds of the soul, that cause us the greatest stress and unhappiness. It is often the source of our fears, anxiety, worry, depression and anger to name just a few things that our hidden wounds and scars can produce. The question is always about what are you going to do with them? How they got there can’t be changed. We often feel alone in our struggles but ironically, we’re not alone. The things we feel are common. Healing doesn’t come by hoarding the feelings and emotions but letting them out. Setting the prisoner free is when we talk about the wound and scar. Amazingly it is like a healing salve. Telling others breaks the secret hold of shame, guilt, anger and other pent up emotions. In telling our story brings healing and freedom to others.
When we learn to celebrate the scars in our life we receive freedom from their power. Rather than giving them power to take us down, we use that same power to lift us
