As reported in the Buffalo News on March 14, 2013.
We are in the middle of March Madness, which means when a horn goes off at the end of a postseason basketball game, things get crazy. In a way similar to college conference title games, high school playoff victories at this time of year mean that you will reach another level of the state tournament, that your season will continue while your opponent's will end.
When that horn goes off, madness follows. Players run onto the court. Teammates sprint into each other's arms. There are hugs between coaches and players and managers. And it is far from quiet.

I am very encouraged and excited about the new Healthy First Nations, "Food is our Medicine" Garden Program that is being launched. And now I'm even more pleased to talk about the amazing progress taking shape for our people through the Seneca Nation Weight Loss Challenge, an eight-week healthy living program with the goal to lose one ton of weight.
Similar to the popular Biggest Looser, 56, five-man teams from both Cattaraugus and Allegany, have been working to develop healthy eating habits and introduce a healthy approach to exercise into their daily lives. Each team member had to sign a waiver to be in the program requiring them to follow healthy-living decisions and not try and lose weight through drastic or trendy weight loss programs.
To date and in just two weeks, the teams have lost a collective total of 2,164 lbs.,…
