HEUVELTON, N.Y. — About
the only Buffalo ever associated with
New York is the city in the western
end of the state.
A score of upstate farmers, howev
er, have discovered another buffalo
I- the type usually associated with
the Wild West, Buffalo Bill Cody and
the like.
| For Duane Storie, a dairy farmer
peratingf * n North Country communith of
Heuvelton, raising a herd of buffalo
has been an unexpected weight-
educing and harrowing venture.
Oliver and Evie Scott, on the
w | pother hand, owners of the Scott T-
I 1 T Ranch in the Finger Lakes commun-
I iityofWest Bloomfield near Roches-
^ fi ter, have been selling buffalo meat to
a growing clientele for the last two
years. For them, it’s a money-
Itnaking business.
The state Department of Agricul-
re and Markets does not keep sta-
istics on farmers who raise buffalo
commercially. “The number being
aised commercially is minimal,”
aid Louis van Dyck, the depart-
I - . ment’s spokesman.
I f “They’re a wild animal and they
>40 have kind of a foul disposition,” van
gbyck said. “The numbers in the in
dustry are lean and getting thinner.
There was a flurry three or four years
ago, but it ended rather quickly.”
According to the buffalo raisers,
however, there is a future for the
little industry. They say buffalo
meat, although slightly higher in
price, is higher in protein, lower in
fat and generally a healthier cut than
beef.
“All it takes is educating the pub
lic,” said Mrs. Scott.
■ To the herders, buffalo raising is
ffixciting, if precarious.
I “Never trust a buffalo,” Storie
Svarned. “Never turn your back on
2-go
’em. They’re not friendly at all. But
we find it exciting. ”
Storie, 36, a former tree surgeon
and excavator turned dairyman, has
found buffalo raising and breeding
more exciting than he bargained for.
Storie and his wife, June, 33, have
been raising 40 head of buffalo on
their 500-acre farm since May 1977.
They hope to start selling meat com
mercially in several months.
One morning last fall. Storie s buf
falo herd rammed down two fences.
broke out of its pen — perhaps
“spooked by a dog” — and stam
peded to the banks of the Oswe-
gatchie River, crossed it and drifted
into a dense, swampy area.
About 50 of the Stories’ neighbors
joined in the hunt in a 5-mile area to
round up the wandering herd. Some
were on horseback. Others used
road bikes, boats and walkie-talkies.
It took nearly a month-and-a-half
to round up the herd.

Patients' sexual health
ignored, doctor says
United Press International
DETROIT—Dr. F. Paul Pearsall
says health care professionals take
great pains to attend to patients’ phy
sical ailments but often neglect a vit
al aspect of their overall well-being
— their sexual health.
Pearsall, a psychologist and direc
tor of the Problems of Daily Living
Clinic at Sinai Hospital, says such
neglect amounts to inadequate treat
ment.
Ignoring a patient’s sexual health,
he said, encompasses everything
from a lack of personal privacy dur
ing a hospital stay to the failure to
outline the sexual effects of a drug or
medical procedure.
“It’ s time we took a more sensitive
look at this area, say, ‘As your doctor.
I’m concerned for your health care as
a totality,”’ said Pearsall, coauthor of
a handbook called “Sex Education
for the Health Professional.”
“To separate sexual health from
emotional health, everyone knows
that’s impossible, and to separate
emotional health from physical
health is, I think, unethical and in
complete health care,” he said.
Pearsall’s basic definition of sexual
health is “the ability to relate inti
mately with the partner of one’s
choice.” It is an area many doctors,
nurses and other health workers
have trouble dealing with.
“I think it’s more our problem
than the patient’s problem,” said
Pearsall, who also is director of edu
cational programs at the Institute for
Sex Research, the Bloomington,
Ind., group that produced the famed
Kinsey Report.
“Who’s in a better position than a
physician who knows the physical
health of a patient to advise?” he
said. “But right now many physicians
are in the worst position. They’re
ill-advised and depending on their
own sexuality.”
Physicians and other health work
ers must take care not to impose
their own sexual values on patients,
Pearsall said. Rather, it is their job to
“protect (the patient’s) options,” he
said.
