Helping banks to get 'growing'
This executive's efforts yielded two new banks in WNY within five years
Tom Hartley Business Firs
While some folks construct houses and others sculpt works of art, Andrew Dorn grows banks.
A 50-year-old former seed company executive-turned-bank entrepreneur, Dorn has directed efforts that raised more than $13.5 million from 1,000 area investors to get Greater Buffalo Savings Bank chartered in 1995 and Jamestown Savings Bank established in 1999.
That's two banks in five years.
"I enjoy creating something that can benefit the community and really enjoy the opportunity to surround myself with some great people," Dorn says.
"With the downsizing and elimination of many banking jobs, there were a lot of good people out there, and still are. I can't think of anything I'd rather be doing right now."
Some say Dorn's pleasure in planting seeds for banks is an extension of an interest that served him in the 1980s when he was an officer of a company that sold packaged flower and vegetable seeds, and later as owner of a grapevine nursery that did business nationwide.
Remarkably, until Jamestown Savings Bank's founding, not a single state-chartered bank had been formed in New York in more than 30 years.
Its founders say it also is the first savings bank to be based in Chautauqua County and the first state-chartered, shareholder-owned, de novo savings bank.
The bank opened with $7.6 million in assets. Three years later, assets had grown to $60 million and deposits totaled $54 million. Today, assets top $113.88 million; deposits are $105.27 million.
Jamestown Savings was up and running for three years when its largest shareholder, Northwest Savings Bank of Pennsylvania, purchased the remaining shares and in the process turned it into a wholly-owned subsidiary.
Dorn, who had been president and CEO, left the bank.
Almost immediately, though, he was back in the game, this time with Greater Buffalo Savings Bank. Organizers, besides Dorn, included some Old Guard members from Jamestown Savings Bank days like Louis Sidoni.
Sidoni, a former Buffalo banker and state bank examiner, played an active role in getting the Jamestown bank chartered. In fact, it was Sidoni who came to Dorn with the idea of starting the bank.
Both bank projects were undertaken for the same reason: To fill a void created by the disappearance of savings banks.
But in key respects, the two were different.
"With Jamestown, we had more trouble locally raising the $5 million in capital we needed to get our charter," Dorn says. "That's why Northwest became involved with their $4.5 million investment. And as a result, we didn't control it."
With Greater Buffalo Savings Bank, raising the required $6 million in capital from 725 shareholders was easier, Dorn says. More than 100 Jamestown Savings Bank investors in 1995 also became shareholders in the Buffalo venture in 1999.
A key difference between the two ventures is that while the Pennsylvania company held the initial majority stake in the Jamestown bank, no single investor has more than a 6 percent stake in the Buffalo bank.
"We didn't control the Jamestown bank and that is the only reason we sold it," Dorn says.
The new Buffalo bank established its office at 47 Court St. in 1999 in what for several decades had been Karl Meyer's German restaurant and bar.
Steady growth has marked its existence. Deposits grew from zero to more than $62 million. Two more branches have opened and an application has just been filed with state banking regulators for a third branch -- in a former HSBC Bank office at 105 Main St., North Tonawanda.
After high school, Dorn, a North Buffalo native, earned a full athletic scholarship to the University of Miami, where the 6-foot-2-inch, 240-pounder was a starting offensive tackle for the Hurricanes in 1969 and 1970.
"At the time," Dorn says, "other tackles at schools we were playing, like Alabama, Syracuse and Penn State, were 6-4 or 6-5 and weighing 250 to 260."
When the coaching staff underwent its third wholesale change, Dorn left Miami and enrolled in the University of Buffalo, which at the time didn't have a football team.
"I learned a lot from football," he says. "It taught me that hard work and determination can make you a success. The person who had the biggest impact on me, other than my father, was Tom Reddington, my football coach at St. Joe's."
Football was an important part of Dorn's early life. Besides playing in high school and college, he heard a lot about the game from his father, Andrew, who was employed in customer accounting for Niagara Mohawk Power Corp.
"My father, who is 90, went to Manhattan College on a football scholarship," Dorn said. "I always considered him one of my mentors, along with George Weaver -- who was like a second father to me, Barry Snyder, Bill Evans and Lou Sidoni."
Weaver owned Fredonia Seed Co. which Dorn joined as a top executive in 1980 after leaving M&T Bank.
Both Snyder and Evans are on the board of Greater Buffalo Savings Bank. Snyder, who is chairman, is the founder and CEO of Tuxedo Junction Inc., and founder and chairman of other companies, including Gingiss International Inc. and Great Skate Hockey Supply Co.
Evans is former vice chairman of Jamestown Savings Bank and was one of its organizers. He also is the founder and former CEO of Southern Tier Pizza Hut Inc.
In the 1980s, Dorn was an executive, and later minority owner, of Fredonia Seed Co., the third largest packager and distributor of packet garden seeds to home gardeners in the United States.
In 1987 he stayed in the agri-business when he purchased Foster Nursery Co. Inc., the second largest U.S. grapevine nursery. Based in Fredonia, it owned eight farms and 500 acres in Chautauqua County. The business was sold to Concord Nurseries in North Collins in 1990.
Dorn's career as a startup banking specialist was launched in 1991 when, after serving a one-year stint as vice president of sales for Dunkirk Ice Cream Co., he left to go into consulting.

BYLINE: Louie Estrada; Washington Post Staff Writer
DATELINE: United States
John Quann, 64, a former engineering company executive who had been deputy director of the Goddard Space Flight Center from 1982 to 1988, died Oct. 10 of an intracerebral hemorrhage at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore.
Mr. Quann, who lived in Silver Spring and then Columbia before moving to Highland in Anne Arundel County about 17 years ago, was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. He was a mathematics graduate of Manhattan College and a graduate of Harvard University's advanced management program.
He joined the National Aeronautics and Space Administration as a computer specialist in 1959, the year the agency was founded. He worked on communication technology using satellites and helped design and develop Earth and space science missions to better understand climate and space physics. He was instrumental in developing and managing computer programs to process data from spacecraft.
In the late 1970s, he headed a team in the development of the Decision Information Display System, which produced full-color demographic maps of statistical information instantaneously for analysis by the legislative and executive branches of the government.
His honors included the NASA Medal for Outstanding Leadership.
Upon his retirement from Goddard in 1988, Mr. Quann became vice president of NYMA Inc., an aerospace services company in Greenbelt that provided engineering services to government agencies, including NASA.
In 1997, he had a stroke that left him with partial paralysis and speech and memory loss.
His slow, wrenching recovery from the medical condition aphasia was documented by his wife, Eileen Steets Quann, in a self-published book, "By His Side: Life and Love After Stroke."
Until his stroke, he had traveled and gardened. He was a member of the Goddard Travel Club, organizing trips to South America, Europe and Asia.
His marriage to Margaret Quann ended in divorce.
Survivors include his wife, of Highland; three children from his first marriage, Janet Quann Hartford of Pasadena, Christopher Quann of Salt Lake City and John Quann of Las Vegas; two stepchildren, David Munday of Highland and Sean Munday of San Jose; a brother; two sisters; and five grandchildren.

DATELINE: NEW YORK
The New York Stock Exchange may be pushing for more corporate disclosure from its member companies, but it is shedding little light on how it goes about choosing its own board members.
<extraneous deleted>
But the NYSE is a private entity, meaning it is not subject to the same rules as the companies that find their home on the Big Board.
"It's a private body that trades public companies," said Charles Geisst, author of "Wall Street: A History" and a finance professor at Manhattan College. "It's a private body--that's the problem."
When a slot opens up on the NYSE's 27-member board of directors, the Big Board calls together its nominating committee, an eight-person group made up of four members representing the public and four from industry.

HEADLINE: Religious leaders at front of war protest; Growing numbers decry
pre-emptive strike against Iraq
BYLINE: By Julia Lieblich and Lynette Kalsnes, Tribune staff reporters.
Mainstream religious leaders who largely remained silent during the military campaign in Afghanistan are protesting a pre-emptive strike in Iraq with an organized outcry not witnessed in the United States since the Vietnam War.
Many are issuing action alerts urging congregants to attend rallies, contact legislators and pray for peace. In Chicago, numerous churches are taking part in protests and prayer vigils, holding teach-ins and sending delegations to Iraq. "I have never seen the broad-based religious community so united," said Joseph Fahey, professor of religious studies at Manhattan College in Riverdale, N.Y. "Usually peace groups take time before they make statements."

HEADLINE: Van Gundy misses the pain of coaching; The
turmoil and losing are part of the joy
SOURCE: North Jersey Media Group
BYLINE: ADRIAN WOJNAROWSKI
HOBOKEN -- In the top row of the bleachers, wearing his baggy sweatshirt, faded nylon pants, and scuffed low-top Adidas, Jeff Van Gundy leaned over and whispered, "I forgot how terrified I used to be when I played for him." Below on the basketball court at Stevens Institute of Technology, there were the sweetest sounds of a son's long ago life: Squeaking sneakers and the booming voice of his father, Bill. The gymnasium of an elite engineering school had transformed into a wise, old professor's laboratory.
<extraneous deleted>
Van Gundy has gone to spring training with his parents, learned to use a computer and surf the Internet, and swears that if you can't get fired up for an Iona-Manhattan college basketball game, you can't possibly be alive. Out of coaching for 10 months now, he's discovered the most important thing of all: The names of all his little girl's friends.
"When I hear Mattie speak now, I feel so much more connected to her life," Van Gundy said.
Once again, he'll do work on TNT telecasts this season. He's excellent on the air, too. He could make a career there, but it'll never happen. As Van Gundy returned to NBA arenas for games, he quickly understood that eventually he would need that tension, that edge, that life as an observer could never bring him. For a time, he believed he'd be a college coach, but never now. Too little basketball, too much schmoozing, too much sweating over late-night phone calls from a police precinct. Jeff Van Gundy is a pro coach.
"I've never been more sure," he said.

GOEDELE ‘LUKA’ VAN CAUTEREN NAMED MAAC PLAYER OF THE WEEK
EDISON, NJ (October 15, 2002) – Manhattan College volleyball player Goedele ‘Luka' Van Cauteren (Oetingen, Belgium) was named the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Player of the Week for the week ending October 13, 2002, announced yesterday by conference officials.

She also had 10 assists, eight digs and four blocks. In the sweep over Siena, she recorded another double-double with 12 kills and 19 assists, along with three blocks. The computer science major totaled 29 kills, 29 assists and seven blocks for the week.
The Manhattan College volleyball team continued to set records last week after advancing its overall record to 18-1 and winning 18 consecutive matches. The victory over MAAC foe Siena on Saturday set a new school record for the most consecutive wins for any Manhattan College athletic team. Manhattan is tied with Eastern Washington for the longest active winning streak in Division I. Both the Lady Jaspers and the Eagles are tied after winning 18 consecutive matches this season.

HEADLINE: PLUS: CROSS-COUNTRY; Fennell Wins Manhattan Meet
BYLINE: By Marc Bloom
Brenden Fennell, an unbeaten senior from Pearl River (N.Y.) High School, raced to the fastest time yesterday in the 30th Manhattan College Scholastic Cross-Country Invitational Meet at Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx.
Competing in rainy conditions that muddied the hilly 2.5-mile course, Fennell finished in 12 minutes 30.2 seconds to capture one of seven boys' varsity divisions. The meet had a record entry of 9,460 runners from 326 schools in 14 states. The other boys' winners were Victor Gras of Belmont (Mass.) High (12:42.7), Ahmed Haji of Conard High in West Hartford, Conn. (12:46.5), Dan Naughton of Kellenberg High on Long Island (13:00.8), Kevin Tshirhurt of Northport High on Long Island (12:42.1), Justin Scheid of Pope John High in Sparta, N.J. (13:02.3) and Hakan DeVries of John Jay High in Duchess County (12:43.9).
In the Girls Eastern State Championship race, Saratoga Springs, N.Y., the No. 1-ranked girls' team in the nation, won its seventh title in 10 years. The freshman Nicole Blood remained unbeaten, running 14:25.4. The Blue-streaks took four of the top five places for a meet-record 24 points. Marc Bloom http://www.nytimes.com

HEADLINE: Tschirhart, Northport Finish First
BYLINE: By Chris Antonacci. STAFF WRITER
Kevin Tschirhart's running style, times and haircut are similar to those of Brian Dalpiaz.
The Northport sophomore can't shake those comparisons. Tschirhart, however, distinguished himself yesterday as he took an early lead and ran into the chute in 12 minutes, 42 seconds to win the 2.5-mile Varsity B race at the Manhattan College Cross Country Invitational at Van Cortlandt Park. "He gets annoyed at that," Northport coach Tim Dearie said of people comparing Tschirhart to Sayville's star senior. "He just likes the look of a shaved head. He is quite an individual. He is not a follower. He's a leader."

Tschirhart, Northport Finish
First
By Chris Antonacci STAFF
WRITER
October 13, 2002
Kevin Tschirhart's running style, times and haircut are similar to those of Brian Dalpiaz.
The Northport sophomore can't shake those comparisons. Tschirhart, however, distinguished himself yesterday as he took an early lead and ran into the chute in 12 minutes, 42 seconds to win the 2.5-mile Varsity B race at the Manhattan College Cross Country Invitational at Van Cortlandt Park.
"He gets annoyed at that," Northport coach Tim Dearie said of people comparing Tschirhart to Sayville's star senior. "He just likes the look of a shaved head. He is quite an individual. He is not a follower. He's a leader."
Tschirhart proved that as he emerged from the pack at the sound of the gun and coasted to the second-fastest time in what is considered one of the largest and most prestigious scholastic running events in the nation. Pat Zagorski finished seventh (13:11), Bryan Quinn 15th (13:23), Dan Farber 18th (13:30) and Andrew Miller 26th (13:51) as Northport, which scouted the Bronx course last week, took the team title with 62 points.
"We showed we are one of the best teams in the East," said Dearie, whose team won the Suffolk Class A title last year. "We showed that we are a threat."
Pearl River senior Brendan Fennell of Section I had the meet's fastest time, 12:30.
Tschihart finished 15th at the Suffolk championships last year but has emerged as an elite runner this season. His time was eight seconds faster than the one that Dalpiaz, the defending state champion, recorded his sophomore year.
"He looked stocky last fall," Dearie said. "Now he is a strong, lanky runner. He works hard and has God-given talent."
Junior Kyle Fiasconaro placed second (13:00) and senior Mark Fernandez was sixth (13:15) to lead Commack to a first-place finish in the " C" race with 66 points. Syosset senior Mark Alizzi finished second (12:50) in the "D" race.
Kellenberg senior Dan Naughton broke away midway through the race and hung on at the final straightaway to win the "E" race in 13:00.
Northport senior Lindsay Sundell finished first (16:10) and Jen Filiberto was 20th (16:48) in the girls Varsity A race. Northport finished fifth in team scores with 177 points.
Shoreham-Wading River's Toni- Lynn Salucci won the "B" race in 15:19. Bay Shore sophomore Laura Cummings cruised to win the "D" race in 14:43. It was the second-fastest girls time. Teammate Lauren Schmidt was fourth in 15:49. Bay Shore posted the third-highest team score in the race with 134. Bayport-Blue Point sophomore Sara Kennedy was 11th (16:17) to lead her team to a second-place finish in the "E" race.

What we are witnessing is an illustration of the weakness of gun control. Gun control offers nothing to deter criminals from using guns. It only deters law-abiding people from using them. Gun control isn't going to stop a terrorist from shooting people. It only deters good guys from shooting back.
Don't put your faith in government. If you do, you will be gravely disappointed not to mention, lose your freedom. Instead, put your faith in God and the proven principles of self-defense and personal responsibility that are prescribed by virtually every faith and certainly by both Judaism and Christianity.
<END QUOTE>
I agree. The government is demonstrating for us why it
can't be trusted. It doesn't work. It didn't work on 911. This is the latest in
a long litany of "external" failures. It doesn't work on crime. The
sniper is just the latest in a long litany of "internal" failures. I
don't put my faith in anyone doing "my work" for me. The recent claim
by Senator Shummer about the bullet registry is so
knee jerk reactionary it would be funny if it was not so serious. The
"liberal elite", as opposed to a true classical liberal, think we are
sheep. Barely fit to be on the same earth with them. We need their "care
taking". Forget it. These government people need to be restrained.
