have touched our lives in so many ways and I am priv­
ileged to join them in this honor,” said Senator Clinton.
“I am extremely proud to help highlight the contribu­
tions of women to our great nation throughout our his­
tory - not just the heroines who blazed the trail before
us, but also the women whose stories have yet to b e '
told, who are holding families together, lifting up com­
munities and performing heroic acts everyday across
America.”
Inductees are selected by a national panel of judges
for their contributions to the arts, athletics, business,
education, government,, humanities, philanthropy, and
science.

anti-lynching activist, suffragist, preservationist, interna­
tional rights proponent and educator, settled with her
husband in Buffalo where she was instrumental in the
founding of the Niagara Movement, precursor to the

School bus safety
By now, school has been in session for several
w eeks and w e have grown accustom ed to sharing the
road with school busses. A lthough the average school
district operates a small army o f buses, the presence of
these additional vehicles on our roadways adds m argi­
nally to the congestion o f our daily com m ute
T he real impact o f sch o o l busses relate to their fre­
quent stops, and the unpredictable actions of the
youngsters that are standing near, o r crossing the road.
Annually, one w eek in O ctob er is designated as Nation­
al Sch ool B us S a fety Week.
First, for you folks w ho like trivia, school buses are
not yellow. T he official color of a school bus is known
as “National School Bus C h ro m e.” It is a distinctive col
or that cannot b e used on any other type of vehicle.
Furthermore, an y school bus that is sold by a school
district or no longer being used to transport pupils must
be repainted within 15 days of bein g re registered.
T he sam e advice applies to railroad grade crossings
All school buses must co m e to a full stop before cross­
ing a railroad track, even if there are no students on
board. S o e xp ect them to stop and be patient1
S enator Mike Nozzolio joined S en ato r Hillary
Rodham Clinton a t th e unveiling of th e pro­
posed National W omen’s Hall of Fam e building
at th e form er Seneca Knitting Mill.
Ruth Pulton Benedict (1887*1948), bom and
raised in New York, was a pioneering anthropologist
who became Americas leading specialist in the held, re­
ceived her bachelors degree from Vassar College and
her Ph.D. from Columbia University, where she went
on to be the first woman appointed full professor in the
faculty of political science.
Other posthum ous honorees are Florence Ellinwood Allen and Patricia Locke.
Most important, all traffic that app roaches a stopped
school bus with its red lights flashing must stop before
reaching the stopped bus, o r stop before a second bus
that has stop p ed for a bus that is in front of it. This re ­
quirement applies t o all traffic app roachin g from either
direction, including traffic on a divided highway, a pri
vate road or in the parking lot of a school. It also ap ­
plies to authorized em ergency vehicles. Determining
when it is safe, and legal, to proceed is a point of con
fusion for many drivers.
A motorist m ay not resume travel until the red lights
have been turned off A N D the bus begins to m ove
again. T he only exception to this rule is if the motorist
is directed to proceed by a police officer or the bus
driver. Most school busses are also equipped with yel­
low lights that a re activated by the driver in preparation
of com ing to a stop. T hese yellow lights should be
treated in the sam e m anner as a yellow light on a tra
ffic signal; stop if you can safely do so, or proceed cau
tiously past the bus if you cannot

T h e Salvation A rm y’ s A ritual Red Kettle Cam paign
will be starting in Novem ber.
T h is year, there is a desp erate shortage of kettle vol
unteers throughout U pstate N ew York. Your com pany,
church, school and family can m ake the difference by
adopting a kettle for a few hours, a full day or for the
entire season.
T h e Red Kettle C a m p aig n raises funds that support
needy families well beyond the holiday season. This
past year in W ayne County, a total of 3 3 9 families
w ere given em ergency services such as food, medical,
lodging and clothing. T h e A rm y has spent over $20.000 this past year to help th ose in need and also made
it possible for 5 5 children from W ayne County to a t­
tend cam p this past sum m er.
T h e Salvation Army of W ayne County spent more
for services than it took in last y ear during the Red
Kettle season. It needs the com m uinity’s help to make
certain it can continue to help those in need.
T o volunteer to ring the bell this holiday season - to
’ schedule a time and place, call 1 .8 7 7 .7 3 3 .6 0 4 1 or go
to ww w.redkettles.org
Just a few hours o f time will help The Salvation
Arm y reach out and touch those in need. Volunteers
will surely make a differen ce.
Second, school buses transporting pupils are prohib­
ited from m aking any turns while facing a steady red
signal. In other words, be patient. If you are behind a
school bus that is stopped at a red light, don't expect
the driver to turn right, o r left o n red. T h e y w on t.
