Allegany Co. honors Fogarty for 40 years of public defense, community service BELMONT — Patricia “Pat” Fogarty was recognized by the Allegany County Board of Legislators for her legal work on behalf of families and indigent defendants. The board chairman, Brooke Harris, detailed Fogarty’s expansive contributions to her clients, her co-workers, and the community. “Since 1983, Ms. Fogarty has demonstrated great skill in all types of representation including in matters regarding custody, neglect, abuse defense, parole violations and the most challenging, violent felonies,” Harris said. “Ms. Fogarty’s value (to Allegany County) is extraordinary. She
has consistently carried heavy caseloads, has always been willing to cover appearances for her colleagues, and has been instrumental in the training of new attorneys.” Fogarty’s contributions extend far beyond her work in the public defender’s office. She has served with Catholic Charities of Buffalo since 2007, has served on the Allegany County Bar Association and the Grievance Committee of the Eighth Judicial District, and on the Boards of the Allegany County United Way, Southern Tier Travelling Teachers, the Education Foundation of Alfred, Inc., and Southern Tier Legal Services.
Fogarty currently chairs the Alfred State College Council. serving in that capacity since 2008. Public Defender J.R. Santana Carter applauded Fogarty’s life-long commitment to service. “When I hear and see all the things she’s involved with in the past and currently, I realize that while the law may be her passion, her true calling is service, service beyond the law,” Carter said. “The law has been a vessel that got her involved in so many organizations. Whenever asked, she always answers the call. ... I couldn’t think of anyone more deserving of recognition.”

Shortest ever St. Patrick’s Day Parade coming Friday in Wellsville BY KATHRYN ROSS
WELLSVILLE — Organizers have heard nothing but positive comments about their plan to stage the Shortest St. Patrick’s Day Parade in the World on Friday as they hope to set a world record. “We have had nothing, but positive feedback and that Wellsville and Allegany County need a latewinter event like this,” said Brian Cannon of
the Ancient Order of Hibernians, who came up with the idea. He went on to say, “Everyone feels we need something like this at this dreary month of March time in our area. Allegany County has a high percentage of people with Irish ancestry as Irish immigrants helped build the Erie Railroad and other major industries in the mid-1800s throughout our county. Our Ancient
Order of Hibernians Division members all thought it was great to sponsor our own local St. Patrick’s Day parade to celebrate our Irish heritage.” The idea of staging the shortest parade route came about because many parades on St. Patrick’s Day have a very long parade route and take hours to line up, sometimes in cold and sleet. “Ours is about 12 feet and user-friendly
for those marching and those watching,” Cannon explained. The parade route may be only 12 feet, but the parade lineup is going to be many times greater than the length of the route. Brian Cannon said they have had a great response from people for participation in the parade. Locally beloved Sister Alice Roach, herself, will be the Parade continued on PAGE 2
