(AP) - Jay Silverheels, the Lone Ranger's poker-faced sidekick ``Tonto,'' has been inducted into the Western New York Entertainment Hall of Fame. The late American Indian performer from Ontario's Six Nations Reserve went to Hollywood in 1933 by way of Buffalo, where he had been an Eastern State Golden Gloves boxing champion and runner-up for the national title. Silverheels was a far different man than the character he portrayed in the 1950s television series, family members said. ``My greatest pride is the fact that he played the role of Tonto very well - because he wasn't the type of person who would be subservient to anyone unless the script called for it,'' an uncle, Leslie Smith of Fort Erie, Ontario, told guests at Thursday's induction ceremony.
