Marvin K. JAMES, 62, of Belmont, NY
Marvin K. JAMES, 62, of Belmont, NY, died on Monday, February 12, 2024 at his home after a long illness.
Marvin Kenneth James was born on October 16, 1961, to Millicent (Stuck) King and Leland James. His father died when he was eight years old. With his mother unable to care for all the children, he and his siblings were placed in foster care. He was in the care of Robert and Frances Ames of Friendship and then arrived at the home of James and Lois Balcom in 1970. He was accepted and considered as one of their own. He continued to be close to both foster families up until his death.
He graduated from Friendship High School in 1981. After High School, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and was stationed in Germany before coming back to the states. He was employed by Macler Industries in Friendship for some time and the former Stuffer’s cookies, previously known as Farnsworth’s Cookies Factory in Cuba, NY for several years.
Marv could be described as comical, strong, outgoing, selfless, who gave with his whole heart and loved unconditionally. He had a love for his family and friends. He enjoyed time outdoors, all wildlife, NASCAR racing, listening to country and classic rock. As long as Marv was busy, he was happy. In his younger years, family remembers him driving his motorcycle in the dead of winter in Friendship and the surrounding area. If you were a stranger in a store, Marv always made it a point to say “How are ya doing today?” and may have even offered to help you put your groceries in your car.
He was always down for conversation and was often found at the Modern Diner in Wellsville having coffee among the locals. He was always willing to give a helping hand everywhere he went. If family or friends needed help, he was there. Marv will also always be remembered for his witty personality and many of his signature lines, “See you on the flip side, or in agreement, “10-4!” will be missed by all!
He was one of fifteen children, along with foster family that were a part of who he held close.
Ruffed Grouse Society Needs Volunteers For Alder Renewal for Wildlife at Tionesta Lake on 2/24/24
Tionesta, Pa.: Want to help wildlife? Volunteers for the Ruffed Grouse Society (RGS) plan the renewal of alder for wildlife at Tionesta Lake for the second year in 2024. Woodcock, ruffed grouse, warblers, rabbits, mice, voles, bobcats, and fox all use the habitat created by an alder thicket.
As alder grows and gets too old, it starts to ‘lay down’ and roots will decay. But, a simple and proven wildlife habitat management technique of stump cutting will remove the older stems and put abundant sunlight back on the ground and cut stump, and cause the alder to put up abundant new growth. This new growth will provide habitat for many birds and small mammals over the next thirty years after the stump cutting.
It’s Time to Open Opportunities on Main Street, Emrick Says
House Republicans launch initiative for entrepreneurs and small business
HARRISBURG – Recognizing governmental burdens should never deter Pennsylvanians from pursuing their own path to prosperity, House Republicans are pushing the Legislature to act on the “Main Street Entrepreneurship Initiative.” The package of bills, led by House Commerce Committee Republican Chair Rep. Joe Emrick (R-Northampton), would make the dream of owning one’s own business, and growing it here in Pennsylvania, more accessible for every person in the Commonwealth.
“Entrepreneurs and small business owners are the backbone of our communities,” Emrick said. “They are the ones investing in our Main streets, hiring our friends and neighbors, and making our communities great places to live. We owe it to every Pennsylvanian to make it as simple as possible to chase their dream and grow their business.”
