Community Cocktail Party 5pm at Dina’s Restaurant

By Caitlin Croft

The Ellicottville Central School Board of Education heard a presentation during its May 29 meeting on the students’ recent trip to Costa Rica.

Teacher Jamie Edwards showed a four-minute video with snippets from the trip, explaining how the students were immersed in their culture by experiencing their cuisine, wildlife, language and outdoor activities. They also were educated on the plant life in Costa Rica and learned to salsa dance.

Edwards’ favorite part was watching the kids grow over the nine-day trip. Some hadn’t even been on a plane before and it was rewarding to see the change. Edwards would like to hold off on the 2020 trip proposal, as the teacher she coordinated this trip with is retiring and would like to wait until a replacement is found and it can be a collaborative effort.

During his superintendent’s report, Robert Miller noted the minimum teacher days has been met for the 2018-19 school year. The elementary school will begin to release students at 1:30 instead of noon.

During his report, middle/high school principal Erich Ploetz discussed the Awards Banquet, as it was his first time attending one and being the emcee. Of all the banquets he has been to, this one was by far the nicest, he said. He recognized how good it was for the younger students to see the older ones getting these awards, as it acts as a motivator for them. It was also nice to see the See School Board, page 12

Chamberfest Setting Up at Casino June 9

Victorian Tea Brewing for June 2

SALAMANCA — A Victorian Tea, sponsored by the Salamanca and Ellicottville historical societies, is scheduled for Saturday June 2, from noon to 2 p.m. at the Salamanca Area Historical Museum, 125 Main St. Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for children 12 and under. There will be door prizes, entertainment, delicious food and tours of the museum.

Space is limited so reservations are required. Please call the museum at 9452946 for more information.

SALAMANCA — Preparations for the annual Seneca Salamanca Chamber of Commerce’s ChamberFest and the Brews for Barks Beer Festival are underway, but limited amount of discounted pre-sale tickets are going fast.

Vendors will set up in Seneca Allegany Resort and Casino parking lot June 9, bringing together brewers and beer lovers for a day filled with food, drink, arts and crafts and music. The arts and craft area will open at 10 a.m. and run until 7 p.m.

A brewfest is based on the idea of a German Oktoberfest where different brewhouses offer samples of their special brews, sort of like a buffet of up to 30 different varieties of brews.

Brewers from across the country are visiting our area to showcase some of their finest brews. Local sellers Ellicottville Brewing

Company, Four Mile Brewing, Southern Tier Brewing Company and Hamburg Brewing will also be on site.

Representatives from these breweries could help guide you through tasting dozens of craft beers and wines from 3 to 7 p.m.

Festival attendees have a chance to try different beers, talk to the brewery representatives and find out what beers they like, how brewers get their taste and flavor and how they are brewed. Chamber officials noted this is a perfect early Father’s Day gift for Dad. In addition to a selection of beer, the event will also feature Winery of Ellicottville, offering samples of their wine selection.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to meet some very friendly, furry, four-legged friends from Empire Animal Rescue Society (E.A.R.S.)

of Salamanca.

The Carving at the Casino event, held in the adjoining Casino lot, will showcase some of the nation’s most talented chainsaw carvers as they create their entries to be auctioned off at 6 p.m.

During the day there will be opportunities to watch carving demonstrations, interact with skilled artists, purchase finished pieces directly from the artist and bid on quick carve pieces.

Craft brew tasting tickets are $25 for limited advance and $30 on the day of the event. The first 500 tasting ticket buyers will receive a free souvenir beer glass.

Tickets can be purchased via salamancachamber. org or at the LOGO Shop located inside the Seneca Allegany Resort and Casino.

For more information, visit Salamancachamber. org or call 945-2034.

Local Mansfield Family Starts Hemp Farm

By Deb Everts

A new crop will soon be sprouting on a family farm along Bedient Road in the town of Mansfield after Chris Golley, his sister Jessica GolleyHalftown and their mother Judy Golley have decided to grow hemp on their property through the state’s Industrial Hemp Agricultural Research Pilot Program.

As the crop matures, many passersby will do a double take when they see plants resembling marijuana growing in plain site, but they can rest easy because it will be hemp, which is one of several varieties of cannabis.

“Even though hemp may be identical in appearance and come from the same species of plant, it’s different from marijuana,” Halftown said. “They are genetically distinct. There is no bud on the plant; it’s all seeds and stem.”

According to PBS NewsHour, marijuana and hemp are varieties of cannabis that developed due to selective breeding: Hemp for its fiber and marijuana for its narcotic components. While the two look and smell-alike, they are chemically and structurally different. In most cases, hemp contains 0.3 percent or less of the chemical compound tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)

Celebrating the Roaring 20s

About 30 Great Valley residents dressed in period costume helped celebrate Great Valley’s Bicentennial at a Roaring 20s party at a decorated Great Valley Town Hall on May 19. Women, many who made their own costumes for The Great Gatsby Costume Party, pose inside the decorated courtroom as the men stand outside. Events are leading up to Old Home Days July 21 and 22 that include a parade and fireworks.

that gives marijuana its reputation, so people can’t get high off of it.

Golley said industrial hemp is considered a commodity crop that can be used in the production of a variety of products including building materials, rope, paper, natural herbal products, textiles, animal feed, mulch and the oil can be used for lubricants and cooking.

“We haven’t confirmed our market plan yet, but we’re looking to grow the hemp for its industrial use,” he said.

The family plans to grow and harvest the hemp, then market the seed and fiber.

Golley said they are going to bale it up and send the fiber out in bulk. According to Golley, the stem is the important part for the fiber. To get to the inner core, it has to go through a decortication process.

Originally established by their maternal grandparents, Stub and Maggie Yehl, the farm has been in the family for several generations and is now in the hands of Golley, Halftown and their mother. Golley and his sister grew up on the farm located between Ellicottville and Little Valley, and all their efforts are related to the family farm.

“The total acreage of the farm is just under 200 acres. This year, our permit through New York State allows us to plant up to 20 acres,” Halftown said.

“Each year, we can reapply if we want to expand the acreage.”

Over the past few years, the family has been exploring how they can expand yet still grow what has already raised on the land. Chris said growing hemp is a way to add something new to what they’ve already growing to keep the farm a functioning farm. He said many small farms these days are dropping off because they can’t compete.

“That’s sort of our goal with this — to keep the beef cattle farm going, along with boutique-type farming,” he said.

They order their seeds in partnership with the NYS Department of Agriculture because the state granted them the permit. Once they plant the hemp, it can be harvested within 90 days.

Golley said they’ll plant it in late May and harvest it at the end of August or early September. He said the height varies depending on the strain, but it can grow anywhere from 3 to 12 feet tall. Theirs will be in the 4to 6-foot range.

As part of their research agreement, they are required to have their crop tested by

the New York State (NYS) Department of Agriculture before they are able to sell it on the market. Golley said, “if it doesn’t meet the criteria, then the crop has to be destroyed.”

Golley said industrial hemp production benefits the environment because the hemp cleans the air by pulling so much carbon dioxide in. The plant is also good for the soil. He said a hemp plant grows quickly and canvases out so fast that it’ll grow up faster than any weed. It’s also disease and insect resistant, so there is no need for pesticides and herbicides.

A couple of years ago, they started researching to find different ways that they could utilize the land and do it in a way that worked for their family. Through that research and information through seminars provided

by Cornell Cooperative Extension, they learned about the Hemp Pilot Program with New York State.

According to Halftown, the New York State Department of Agriculture has a very thorough application process. They ask the applicants for a lot of different information about their farm and the people who will be participating. The applicant is also required to create a research plan and a security plan to make sure their crop is secured and safe.

They submitted their application mid-last year and received notification in November 2017 that they had been approved. As part of the program, they had to have an educational sponsor or backer to do the research.

Halftown said the program originally started in 2015 on a very small scale.

Over the course of the last three years, guidelines have changed and things have really been moving along and growing.

Golley said the stigma associated by the plant’s relation to marijuana is one of the biggest obstacles to making industrial hemp a cash crop for New York State. He said one of their goals is to educate people and offer alternative crops and material to the public.

“While this might be a newer project for us and for our area, in general, there is a very robust community of people throughout New York state and in surrounding states who have been researching and advocating. Farmers, processors, researchers and educators are all in it together,” Halftown said.

“It’s been really interesting to be a part of this research project. We look forward to moving ahead.”

ECS NEWS & SPORTS Academic Acknowledgment Held at ECS

By Abby Sonnenberg ECS Student Reporter

As the school year winds to a close, it comes time for the annual ECS Academic Awards banquet.

This is a time for all invited to enjoy some food prepared by the staff and be recognized for their achievements in the 201718 academic year. It’s a time of excitement for many, to be called out on stage and formally acknowledged for the effort put into one’s academics throughout the year.

Scholarships and awards were awarded to juniors and seniors, and were given by many different colleges, all the way from Keuka to the Rochester Institute of Technology. Meganne Chapman, a junior at ECS, was one of the recipients. “I was awarded a scholarship to the University of Rochester. I was thrilled to receive this because I was being recognized for what I always strive to be: a leader in my school and community. Overall, I was thankful for this award and for the recognition it brought,” she said. This scholarship was one of many, but it’s easy to see how each award affected the person receiving it.

Another scholarship recipient was Logan Knab, a junior with

hopes to go into a career in computer sciences. “I received a $48,000 scholarship to Clarkson and a $40,000 scholarship to the University of Rochester. I was awestruck getting the first one, even more so when I got the second.”

Seniors, having already had the opportunity to receive these scholarships, earned different awards. One of these was the 2018 ECS Board of Education Department Award in Spanish, earned by Ande Wilson. “It meant a lot to me because I went from knowing nothing to feeling really confident in a second language, thanks to an awesome teacher,” Wilson said, in reference to Mrs. Jamie Edwards, the Spanish teacher at ECS. Emily Durandetto, another senior, received several awards at the banquet. “I have to say, the Chorus Director’s Award was the one that I especially appreciated.

Ms. Waldron has made such an impact on my life, and it was an honor to have been deserving of the award.” Durandetto was also the recipient of her honor cord, which a student received when they achieve high honors for at least six quarters, and a Board of Education Department Award in the field of technology.

While there were no

scholarships or specific awards given to them, students from lower grade levels shared the same enthusiasm about the banquet. A sophomore, Megan Hartsell, said, “It was really great to receive recognition for the things that we, as students, have accomplished. Our hard work over the course of the school year really pays off in the long run, and the awards banquet each year reminds us of that.”

Of course, there was a bittersweet feeling among the seniors at the aspect of this being their last awards banquet at ECS. “I’m sad about it,” said Evan Quinn, a senior at ECS, “but at the same time I can only describe it as bliss. I’ll definitely look forward to seeing my younger sister beat my awards during her time in high school.” Like most seniors, Quinn is ready for the coming of summer and the quickly approaching start of college.

The night was a joyous and eventful one for everyone involved, even the parents. All around were smiling faces and cameras when someone’s child was called up, and often the cheers of one’s friends could be heard as they approached the stage. Here and there was even a bit of crying as parents shed tears of pride for their children.

Pictured (from left) are Abigail Sonnenberg and Gabrielle Squires with their awards.

Without a doubt, the annual ECS awards banquet is a good time for everyone involved.

There’s always a note of excitement when students receive their invitations, knowing their hard work for the year did indeed

pay off. As a junior this year, I know in the next I’ll be among the seniors with that same bittersweet feeling next year, but I do believe that the high schoolers at ECS are all excited to see what next year brings.

School Board Continued from front page

parents dressed up.

Ploetz thanked the band for performing on Memorial Day at the Town/Village Hall for their service. Upcoming events are a band competition at Darien Lake, prom at HoliMont, Athletic Awards at Holiday Valley and the band concert.

Committee Reports Athletic Report: A survey for coaches will be going around regarding sending teams to summer camps.

There will be research into whether the Varsity Club can offset some of the costs. They are working on sports team apparel guidelines so that students don’t have to pay so much out of pocket for items such as warm ups, sweatshirts or duffle bags.

There is communication with the Sports Boosters on how to get the athletes more involved with fundraising. There was discussion regarding the Athletic Banquet format.

Last there is a draft for providing transportation to athletic events when there is five or less students attending the event. When it is complete it will be sent out to the parents of the athletes.

Discussion Items: The New York State School Board Conference is coming up in October and Miller would like the board to start thinking about it and if they are available to attend. Miller is working with a team to put together a request for proposal to send out for a financial advisor. They want to collect proposals and see what direction to go to better streamline capital projects.

During new business, the board approved motions to: • change the date of the July 10 reorganizational meeting to July 9; • renew the Capital Reserve Account; • approve the following the rate of $10.40/hour for cleaners and bus garage workers; and • approve the 2018 ECS Youth Soccer Camp.

Personnel: There was a motion to grant Mrs. Catherine Nason tenure; a second and ayes carried.

There was a motion to grant Mrs. Lillian Lechner tenure; there was a second and ayes carried. Nason is a business teacher and Lechner is in the art department. There was a motion to approve Chris

Mendell as the Summer Driver Education teacher at ECS for a salary of $33/ hour; there was a second and ayes carried.

At the beginning of the meeting, the school board opened with public comment from Frank Watson, a resident of Great Valley. He wants the school board to consider his son for Pre-K this coming fall. He misses the cut off date by three days.

Through research Watson has done he claims there are exceptions to the rule. His son completed Ms. Steinbroner’s class and has an email recommendation from her stating that he is ready for Pre-K. Watson’s daughter is in the Elementary School and he loves this district and what the education thus far has done for his daughter. Watson does not want to see his son’s education halted due to this deadline issue. The Board thanked Watson for his comments will consider the matter and get back to him.

The next meeting of the Ellicottville School Board will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 5 in the school library.

Letter Carriers Food Drive Collects 1,300 Pounds for CCA

If you left food in your mailbox for letter carriers to pick up, Cattaraugus Community Action officials want you to know what you left will be put to good use.

The national Stamp Out Hunger food drive, run by the National Association of Letter Carriers, was held May 12 with 1,387.3 pounds of food collected locally and given to Cattaraugus Community Action (CCA) for distribution to its food pantry customers.

Area residents receive a postcard annually in the mail asking them to fill a bag and help feed families in the annual drive. Whatever they leave is then picked up by letter carriers during their usual routes and taken to an area food pantry for distribution to those in-need.

Nicole Marasco of the letter carriers’ association said this year marks the 26th anniversary of the drive that began when carriers saw they had a unique opportunity to help address what she called an “unacceptable” situation.

“What a wonderful opportunity we have,” she said, adding the carriers go to every address every day: something most companies can’t say. When visiting those addresses, she said, they see how hunger impacts all people in all categories from military families to college students, the elderly and children.

“Hunger is across the spectrum,” she said.

Marasco said when seeing that, carriers decided to do something about the problem.

“The territory our routes are in become our neighborhoods,” she said, adding all neighborhoods donated food on the same

day Saturday to help their own communities.

The food given locally helps stock the shelves at CCA, where in 2017, 4,738 boxes of food were distributed to those in-need there and at partnering pantries within Cattaraugus County. More than 8,000 meals were served in CCA’s soup kitchen.

In addition to counting on donations like the one held by postal officials, CCA also has a gleaning program, whereby foods are collected from area stores to put on pantry shelves.

Community Action Gleaning Coordinator Bonnie Gilray picks up food daily from area stores that are willing to contribute.

Food then goes on the pantry shelves, so those in-need have a choice of food from which to choose. In 2017, 209,405 pounds of food were gleaned from area stores to put on pantry shelves.

Food is also purchased by CCA through the Food Bank

of Western New York, and produce is grown at CCA’s garden so those in-need have healthy items to put on their tables.

“Even though we work with many great partners, who supply us, given the need in our community, we are always grateful for more donations,” said John Haley, CCA Director of Food Security.

In addition to needing food to help about 21 families that come through the food pantry daily, CCA Volunteer Coordinator Sharon Turano said volunteers are needed to get the food that is collected into the hands of area residents, who need it the most.

Volunteers take customers through the pantry, allowing them to choose items for their families’ tables, depending on the number of people in their families.

Volunteers may also help carry groceries to cars, stock pantry shelves or help in the garden.

Health & Fitness:

Eating Healthy in the Summer

By Kim Duke NETA & AAFA Certified Trainer

We typically blame the winter holidays and rich comfort foods for winter weight gain. But summer foods can do just as much damage. Refreshing beverages, barbecues and our rationalization to eat more ice cream and frozen yogurt often contain surprisingly high amounts of fat and calories. “To stay in shape or even lose weight during the warm season, you need to follow two simple guidelines,” says Brian Quebbemann, MD, a bariatric surgeon in Newport Beach, Calif.

“First, there’s always a healthy option for the type of food you want. Second, it’s not only what you choose to eat but how you prepare it that makes the big difference.” To keep you on track to fit into that new bathing suit, experts chime in on the biggest caloric danger zones.

When you’re thirsty, and water doesn’t sound appealing, a cold glass of lemonade or sweetened iced tea seems like the

perfect solution. But these drinks can be major sugar bombs, says Dr. Quebbemann.

“Commercially sweetened iced tea has 80 calories per glass, lemonade has 99 calories, and most commercial fruit juices are about 80 calories per 8 ounces, which is roughly the same amount of calories as a regular cola.”

When you want to drink something sweet, dilute 100 percent fruit juice with equal parts water, suggests Dr. Quebbemann.

A beef burger topped with cheese contains saturated fat along with high levels of calories and sodium, says Saba Sassouni, RD, a New York City-based dietitian.

“Hold the cheese, top the burger with a fresh tomato slice, and have a piece of corn on the cob instead of a processed bun for starch,” Sassouni suggests.

And since most barbecue sauces are packed with sugar and run up to 50 calories a tablespoon, Dr. Quebbemann recommends making your own (we love this blueberry balsamic barbecue sauce recipe.

Better yet? Nix the sauce altogether for a spice mix rub to add flavor without any additional calories.

Beware the umbrella drinks. “On average, a piña colada or Long Island iced tea can clock in at 600 to 800 calories,” says

Amy Goodson, RD, sports nutritionist for the Dallas Cowboys. “Plus, when you drink alcohol you typically care less about what you’re eating. So add two, 600-calorie drinks to your happy hour chips and guacamole and you’re close to 2,000 calories while the night is still young!” For lower-calorie alternatives, Goodson recommends mixing clear liquor with a calorie-free beverage.

Frozen yogurt has many people fooled into thinking it’s a healthy food, says Dr. Quebbmann. “You may think that somehow yogurt is yogurt, but you’d be wrong,” he explains.

“Frozen yogurt typically has tons of added sugar and can even have more calories than ice cream.”

While frozen yogurt contains some protein, it’s often over 400 calories per cup and can contain as much as 26 grams of fat.

“Furthermore, the probiotic benefit from natural yogurt with active cultures is essentially missing,” Dr. Quebbmann says. If you indulge, have just a small scoop—same as you would with ice cream.

Of course, you need to remember, it is summertime, and we have just endured one of our longest winters. So, enjoy what the season has to offer. Just do it in moderation.

Randolph’s Old Bordon Plant Home to New Manufacturer

By Rick Miller

RANDOLPH — A 111-year-old manufacturing facility in the hamlet of Randolph is seeing a resurgence these days as a new home for a Jamestown company.

The historic Borden Building, which got its start in 1907 as the Bordon Condensery, where they made condensed milk, has more than 93,000 square feet of floor space at its Center Street plant.

That was appealing to Fenton Mobility Products Inc. owners Scott, Sean and Rick Fenton. Business was growing at their Jamestown plant where they modified and adapted wheelchair accessible vans, but their space was only about 4,000 square feet.

Scott Fenton and his wife, Lauren, formed a new corporation, Fenton Properties LLC, to buy the building from the Ruhlman family which owns Rand Machine Products in Falconer. Scott then began moving Fenton Mobility to its new home in Randolph.

Alcoa Closure Systems International, which left in 2014, was the last active business to occupy the plant. Rand Machinery had a small operation at the Randolph plant, cutting pipe that was then shipped to Falconer for finishing.

Mary Gabalski, Fenton Mobility Products administrative assistant, often gives tours of the plant. Fenton moved to Randolph last November, and started work in December. The office moved to Randolph in

January.

“We’ve been welcomed into the community,” Gabalski said.

The company’s patented product, AbiliTrax, features an open channel track system that allows for a variety of single seats, wheelchairs, cots and other floor-mounted devices that lock into the floor in different configurations.

“You can put the seats anywhere in the floor grid,” Gabalski said. “The seats will go in any vehicle with the AbiliTrax system so you can move seats across the fleet.”

Fenton Mobility manufactures a variety of lifts and accessories for vans including the Ford Transit, Dodge RAM Promaster and Mercedes Sprinter.

An AbiliTrax dealer network stretches across the country and in Canada.

There is also an outfitter in Mexico. Fenton Mobility brings dealers to the Randolph plant for training.

“The manufacture of this system has taken flight in the industry and AbiliTrax has become a favorite among the nation’s leading Transportation Agencies and Bus Companies,” Gabalski said.

The Randolph plant has 19 employees, two who were added in the last couple of weeks and a fourth welder who is scheduled to start this week, according to Gabalski. Employment at the plant is expected to grow.

Fenton Mobility makes running boards, lift install

kits, grab bars, wheelchair tie-downs and wall mounts, cot mounts and other accessories.

Two machines — one that cuts the channels in the coated floor and the other a metalcutting water-jet — are still located at Fenton Mobility’s sister company, Access Elevator & Lift Co., in Jamestown. They will be moved over to Randolph in the coming months.

Three Fenton Mobility employees are still at the Jamestown location.

With today’s newer model vans, Fenton Mobility no longer has to cut the tops off to extend them higher. “It used to take six to eight weeks, start to finish, for one of these vans,” Gabalski said.

“We’re capable of doing a van a day now. There are no structural changes needed.”

Also with more room to work, everything seems to go quicker, she added.

One of the company’s newer products is a “shift and step” seat base that is American With Disabilities Act-compliant and easy to move and lock in place.

There’s more than just manufacturing at the plant.

The second floor has lots of wide-open space in which Lauren Fenton has held community events, with dreams of developing it into a community center.

A gymnastics group rents another part of the second floor that is covered in mats.

Pittsburgh and now 26 Center St. in Randolph.

The full transition to the Randolph plant is expected to be completed in June.

Gabalski said Fenton Mobility recently received

an order from New York State for 93 wheelchair accessible vans, and has another contract with the state Department of Transportation.

Gabalski encourages

Randolph neighbors to stop by for a quick visit and tour of the facility. The offices are open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

An open house is planned for late June.

woods near the resort’s Tannenbaum Lodge.

There are 13 courses with varying levels of difficulty and the more difficult the course, the higher up it is in the trees.

The Aerial Park includes 142 platforms, 174 elements and 43 ziplines, with the tallest platform at 68 feet and the longest zip line measuring 350 feet.

New this season is the Tarzan swing, where brave guests swing on a rope into a giant cargo net.

For rates and to make reservations, visit www. holidayvalley.com/ summer/sky-highadventure-park/.

Those ages five and up can enjoy the Climbing Forest, which is like a 3D version of a rock wall, and only one of three in the country. There are 10 trees outfitted with colorcoded climbing holds and the difficulty ranges from very easy (yellow) to very challenging (purple). Each climber is fitted with a harness that is clipped into an Auto Belay system.

Once a climber reaches the top of the tree at up to 45 feet, they just let go and the belay system slowly lowers them to the ground.

There is also a kids’ area with two trees where the youngest climbers can climb about 6 feet up and climb back down.

Also new this season will be a Gem Mining feature opening in midJune. Younger children can try panning for treasures at the new Mr. Happy Gem Mine, located at the base of the Climbing Forest.

For rate info, visit www.holidayvalley. com/summer/sky-highadventure-park/climbingforest/.

The Sky Flyer Mountain Coaster and Climbing Forest also opened for the season last weekend. The coaster is a thrilling ride that zigs, zags and spirals down the mountain where you control the speed. The Climbing Forest features

a series of nine trees outfitted with climbing holds that create a 3-D climbing wall.

Sky High is currently open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, and will be open daily starting June 15.

The first of two Locals Days is planned later this month, on June 20 (the second if on July 25.) If you live in Cattaraugus County, you can get a 3-hour climb for only $15. June 17 is Father’s Day and dads climb free that day at the Aerial Park (3 hour climb) with the purchase of a full priced ticket for kids or mom.

Call for reservations, (716) 699-4444.

If you’re looking for fun opportunities to explore the great outdoors, look no further. The Ellicottville area offers numerous hiking and biking trails.

Take to the woods on Holiday Valley’s Mountain Biking Trails. The 4-5 mile “race loop” starts at the Holiday Valley Training Center and goes up gradually to the top of Cindy’s. From there it goes across the ridge line of the resort where you can choose to ride the wider and more forgiving cross country trails or skinny winding singletrack to the top of Eagle, Cochran Pond at the top of Morning Star, and into the Tannenbaum area. The flow trail, Senear Valley Trail, runs from Spruce Lake across through the woods to Champagne, then it zigs and zags across the front ski slopes with big banked turns in the woods, and finishes near the Training Center.

Head to nearby Allegany State Park offers miles of trails through all kinds of terrain, as well as a paved bike path around Red House Lake.

The park also offers camping at hundreds of camp sites, cabins and full service cottages, as well as gift shops, a restaurant and

COMMUNITY Kill Buck Community to Plan Picnic at Reopened Park Organizers Expected to Set Date Soon

By Kellen M. Quigley

Over a dozen Kill Buck and Great Valley residents were in agreement on holding a community picnic later this summer at the recently renovated Kill Buck community park grounds to be officially renamed at the picnic.

“I believe we’re all here for one reason: our community,” said Bob Patterson, who headed a meeting last week along Great Valley town historian Marilyn Eddy Siperek.

Patterson, who recently moved back to where he grew up, said the picnic could be a part of Great Valley’s Bicentennial as well as a way to bring the community together and show off the newly revitalized park.

Organizers plan to have the picnic on a Sunday in August, but a set date would be finalized in the coming weeks. They will be making a rough attendance count during the summer. At the picnic, attendees would vote on a new name for the park.

During last week’s meeting, Dan Brown, town superintendent of Great Valley, suggested using names honoring some of the well-known people throughout the Kill Buck community, including Otis Patterson and Roberta Stone, Bob Patterson’s father and aunt, respectively.

“Nothing against the firemen’s grounds, but it’s a new facility and we kind of want to rebrand it,” Brown added.

In recent months, the town of Great Valley has been cleaning up and

preparing the old Kill Buck Firemen’s Park, nestled behind Hoag’s Gas Station on Route 417 with the nearly overgrown driveway off School Street nearby.

Brown said the water and electric has been turned on and the grass has been mowed twice since May 14. He said the plumbing in the facilities would be replaced and the steel siding would be installed on part of the pavilion and restroom/ storage facilities with other parts repainted.

Brown said Tuesday the town highway department resurfaced driveway and did general clean up during the past week.

Crews from Horton Builders and Rinko Painting were on site Tuesday working on the pavilion and restroom facilities. Both Rich Rinko and Rich Horton said they’re hoping to finish the projects by the end of next week in time for the first event booked for the grounds on June 9.

“We’re trying to make it as efficient and maintenance free as we can down there,” Brown said during last week’s meeting. He said the town board decided the park would be “carry-in, carry out,” regardless of who rents it and what for.

Looking to the future, Brown said the town would consider looking at installing a new playground in the park.

He said they are trying for a grant, but a playground is too expensive now.

“I’ve had a lot of people approach me about a playground,” Patterson said. “There’s a lot of kids

in Kill Buck again.”

Rebuilding the old baseball field would also be a future project, Brown said. Several meeting attendees said it could be another place for the community to come together, whether for youth sports, communitywide games or more.

The first event to be held at the park since the renovation project is scheduled for June 9. Brown said the town already has 15 bookings for the facilities for the summer. Applications are available at the Great Valley Town Hall at 4808 Route 219.

Renting the park for a day will cost $150 up front with a possible $50 back if the grounds are cleaned up. Payments would go to the town hall.

For those who rent the grounds for events, Brown said plastic tables have been ordered that will be kept in the park storage area with the old racks of folding chairs.

If someone wants to have a party with alcohol, Brown said the town would need to see a certificate of liability from their homeowner’s insurance company. He said other special request events would have to come in front of the town board for approval.

Another meeting for the bicentennial picnic at the Kill Buck grounds is scheduled for June 26 at 7 p.m. at the Kill Buck Volunteer Fire Department hall.

Anyone wanting to volunteer with picnic preparations, call Patterson at (727) 7420546.

“Once again the CHBWV Team did an excellent job in utilizing their planning and execution of this high hazard work,” WVDP Director Bryan Bower said. “This paves the way for the safe continuation of the Vitrification Facility demolition.”

hazard contaminants as a result of HLW vitrification activities.

The facility’s process crane was used to handle canisters throughout the Vitrification Cell. Full canister handling was a high-level waste activity. The process crane is a twin 4.5 ton hoist/ trolley mounted on a bridge. The twin hoists were mounted 32 inches from each other on a turntable which allowed the hoists to rotate 359 degrees. This allowed the hoists to reach closer to the Vitrification Cell walls than would be possible with only a single hoist, and also made load orientation possible.

East Otto Preservation Group to meet EAST OTTO — The East Otto Preservation Group will meet in the senior room at the town hall at 7 p.m. June 5. All invited to attend and bring ideas for future projects.

Interchurch Women’s Group to meet CATTARAUGUS — Betty Darling Lundberg, who grew up in Cattaraugus, was the special guest speaker at the May meeting of the Interchurch Women’s Group held at the Heavenly Treasures Christ Bookstore.

Lundberg’s topic was on basil and gave a thought-provoking message. She is an author who has had articles appear in several publications. The women’s group and many friends in the area look forward to her coming back.

One June 12, the women will have an “end of the year” picnic at noon at the Roberts Memorial Church shelter grounds.

Any women wishing to join, bring a dish to pass and one’s own table service. The group’s new year will begin in September.

A group of students at Randolph Central School are learning work skills at The Bird House coffee shop, a coffee delivery service at the high school created to resemble an actual work environment.

Through the efforts of special education teachers Melissa Sohl and Mike Reynolds along with their teacher aides, Kathleen Flood and Mary Cullen, the special education students are trained, coached and advised on how to carry out the activities of a real business.

According to Reynolds, the coffee shops organizers first took a field trip to Tim Hortons, Starbucks and other coffee places in the Lakewood area after the special education teachers decided they wanted to provide some kind of coffee business at the high school.

“While we were at those places, we observed their operations and how they ran their businesses. When we came back we thought a delivery service in the high school would be most beneficial to our students’ needs,” he said. “So, with the help of Deputy Kale Luce, our school resource officer, we obtained a grant through the Cattaraugus County Youth Bureau. With that grant, we were able to purchase the items we needed to start The Bird House.”

Sohl said before the students launched their business they decided on the name Bird House because of the school’s cardinal mascot.

“We made the uniforms and Mrs. Flood designed a logo while Mrs. Cullen came up with the idea of ironing it on our uniform shirts and name tags to try to keep it as professional as possible.

Then we contacted our IT person Mike Frame (chief information officer at RCS) to set up an email for our classroom and he also created a form for the teachers to fill out, so school staff members could place their orders by email prior to Wednesday.”

Reynolds said they try to operate the business to simulate an actual work setting within the classroom. He said one day each week, usually on a Wednesday, the students change into their uniforms first thing in the morning at the school. They print out orders from The Bird House email then prepare and deliver the coffee throughout the high school.

Students at Randolph Central School are learning to be entrepreneurs and how to work in the real world through the Bird House coffee shop, which was created to resemble a real life environmental.

Students interviewed for jobs with the business, fill orders and deliver from a cart throughout the high school every Wednesday morning. Shown ready to serve in their professional uniforms are (from left) Kyle Eddy, William Jones, Tim Oyer, Mikala Fuller and Brandon Loomis. Photo by Deb Everts.

“We don’t just offer coffee; we also have decaffeinated coffee, tea, hot chocolate and sometimes we come up with a special coffee or drink like a fruit smoothie or a type of shamrock shake. We also try to offer one special per month and sweet treats like chocolatecovered pretzels,” he said.

“There’s no charge for our product. Instead, we accept donations and, with these donations, it basically allows us to replenish our inventory and keep our business going.”

According to Reynolds, the students were required to interview for jobs including manager, delivery person, brewmaster, cashier and computer technician.

He said students had to go through the full interview process where they completed an application, had to provide three professional references from staff in the building and complete an interview.

“This was not a one-onone interview; it was an interview sitting in front of a committee who asked them interview questions.

They did absolutely phenomenal,” he said.

Sohl said the brewing takes place with a brewmaster, who gets the assembly line ready and organizes everything on the cart according to the floors to ensure a nice flow in the morning. They came up with a color system by

floor, making it easier to get the coffee out quicker.

After brewing, the coffee is put in cups and cup holders made by the mechanical technology students.

“Then the crew is off to deliver the orders. When the group returns, they clock out with an actual time clock,” she said.

“After that, we collect the donations for our cashier who counts it, then it’s rechecked and recorded in our ledger. We all get together to fill out the appropriate forms for an activities fund and take inventory.”

Reynolds said a primary focus at their career skills classroom is helping the students develop skills that will help them transition from school to work.

He said the class has also visited community businesses to learn how each enterprise operates including Randolph Manor Home for Adults, Cardinal Hills Golf Course and R&M Restaurant.

“Our goal is for our students to reach a level of independence that allows them to be contributing members not only to our school community, but also of the community of Randolph as a whole,” he said. “The Bird House coffee delivery service helps our students learn and develop these skills that will provide them with job skills after high school.”

Family Day Returns June 16 to Catt. Co. Museum The Cattaraugus County Museum has announced its Family Day at the Museum will return this year from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 16.

Part of New York State's Path Through History weekend, organizers said they have planned a day of programming for the whole family.

The Toll Road Less Traveled

By Rick Miller

Years ago when Bob Patterson’s aunt, Roberta Stone, was Great Valley historian, she told him about a stone along the Kill Buck Road that was part of a toll gate on the old Plank Road that ran from Kill Buck to Ellicottville.

It was built in the early 1850s after the Erie Railroad was built through the town.

Patterson, after recently moving back to the area, went looking for that stone. He soon found it — surrounded by tall grass.

“You can see the bolt going through it (rock) that held the hinge,” Patterson said.

He brought up the issue of the toll gate at last week’s Great Valley town board meeting.

Patterson said since it’s the town’s bicentennial, now would be a good time to show off this piece of history.

Patterson spoke with town Historian Marilyn Siperek and she agreed it would be worth requesting an historic marker from the Pomeroy Foundation, similar to the one placed outside the Evergreen Tea Room and Guest House in Great Valley. It probably will not be received until next year.

“Maybe the town could mow around it or put a fence around it,” Patterson said. “I’d like to bring attention to it. It’s a relic from the past. The hardware (from the gate) is still there.

I’m surprised it’s there — that someone didn’t hit it or yank it out of the ground.”

Patterson’s father was the “unofficial mayor of Kill Buck,” Otis Patterson, who died Jan. 29, 2015.

“I grew up here.” he said. “I moved to Florida, retired and just moved back here after 38 years. I’m saddened about how much this area has changed. You had the corner store, restaurant, truck stop and the school got torn down.”

“I guess I’m trying to carry on my Dad’s legacy” in speaking out about the toll gate stone, he said. “You couldn’t see it if the grass was too high. Maybe there should be a fence.”

Patterson’s family roots run deep in the Kill Buck and Salamanca area.

“My great-grandfather and his brother had a big sawmill in Salamanca and the railroad that went up the Scenic Parkway” in what is now Allegany State Park, he said. The Patterson Cross Country Ski Trail in the state park is named after the family and follows an old railroad grade.

Patterson is also a descendant of one of the founding fathers of Great Valley, Capt. Nathan Howe, who settled there in the early 1800s.

Siperek, who has her hands full with this year’s Great Valley Bicentennial Celebration, said the stone for the toll road gate stood next to a road covered with

wooden planks and sand. It was a step up from the corduroy road made of logs — and dangerous for horses.

Siperek said a 100-year-old Salamanca woman, Shirley Lindell, was born just as Route 219 was being paved for the first time. “Her grandfather worked on the Plank Road.”

She said in her research on the Plank Road and toll gate she found an interesting condition: Great Valley and Ellicottville insisted they would not be responsible for maintaining the wooden road or bridges.

Al Robison and Rose McClune, who live on Kill Buck Road near the toll gate stone, have done a little research of their own, Siperek said.

They found an 1860 state law that prohibited toll gates closer than three miles apart. They also determined the toll on Plank Road was 1.5 cents a mile, with an extra 1 cent a mile for every 20 sheep, swine or cattle driven down the roadway.

An 1847 law exempted people from paying a toll going to or from church if it was within eight miles of their home. Traveling to and from funerals, as well as the movements of troops, were also exempt.

Siperek found an interesting story about the Plank Road. A farmer complained that the sand kept getting pushed and blown off the road. “He complained he always had to shovel it back onto the road.”

This stone, once part of a toll road gate on Plank Road — now Kill Buck Road — sat unnoticed for decades. The Great Valley Bicentennial has renewed interest in such historic relics. Photo by Rick Miller.

WV School Budget Will Go Up For Second Vote June 19

By Rich Place

Residents of the West Valley Central School District will have an opportunity June 19 to cast ballots again on a proposed $9.8 million budget for the 2018-19 school year after the school board on May 21 opted to put the same spending plan up for a re-vote.

The 4-1 decision by the board came following a roughly 10-minute discussion that was often quiet on what steps to take after the budget failed to pass last week by a 181-151 tally. A second proposition to purchase a school bus also failed and will be voted on again.

The board also had the option to immediately adopt a contingency budget, a move the board took when presented with the same hurdle two years ago.

“My thought is to put it back up for re-vote,” said Teaseleman JacksonMcCarty, the first school board member to voice an opinion on the board’s next step. “Last time when it was voted down we had a lot of outcry from the community, so I am voting to put it back up.”

Timothy Ploetz was the lone school board member to vote against putting the spending plan up for a second vote.

Board members George Kazmierczak and Dawn

Samborski were absent.

“We worked on this budget and we put it out there as the best budget that we, along with our administration … felt was the best for this district and what was best for the community,” said board president Stephen Kowalski.

Kowalski, JacksonMcCarty and Kimberly Cizdziel — who all voted to put the budget up for a re-vote this year — had voted along with Kazmierczak to immediately adopt a contingency spending plan two years ago when the budget failed to pass.

The proposed 2016-17 budget failed 329- 271, a significantly higher voter turnout compared to this year’s 332 total voters.

The 2016 vote included a 7.68 percent decrease in the tax levy while this budget includes a 2 percent tax levy increase.

Should the budget fail again on June 19, the date mandated by the state for school districts to put failed budgets up for a revote, the school board must adopt a contingency budget that does not have an increase in the tax levy.

It’ll now be a case of deja vu for the school’s business office, which must adhere to similar guidelines compared to when the budget was first brought up for a vote last Tuesday. That includes publishing the budget

vote notice, holding another voter registration date and mailing a budget notice, according to school business official Ann O’Brien.

She said following the meeting she is recommending a budget hearing be held on June 11, as the board is already scheduled to meet that night and the hearing must be held between June 5 and 12.

Kowalski told board members after the vote it’s estimated the re-vote will cost the district about $2,000.

According to data released late last week by the New York State School Boards Association (NYSSBA), West Valley was one of 16 school districts to have its budget proposition defeated. Voters passed 653 school district budgets statewide, with NYSSBA still waiting on results from seven districts. The 97.6 percent passage of school district budgets was down slightly from 99.3 percent last year, according to NYSSBA. The budget revote at West Valley will come two days before the board will hear from education consultants Castallo & Silky LLC on the results of a pre-annexation study with the Ellicottville or Springville-Griffith Institute school districts.

How to Conserve Water as the Mercury Rises Conserving natural resources is often so simple that people make some adjustments without affecting their daily lives at all. But sometimes it’s not so easy to conserve.

Summer is one time of year when conservation efforts tend to require more sacrifice than normal.

Even the most devoted conservationist may find it difficult to conserve water during the dog days of summer, when drought and

soaring temperatures make it difficult to maintain lawns and gardens.

Thankfully, there are ways to help lawns and gardens withstand summer’s dog days without wasting water. • Water wisely. Watering lawns and gardens in the early morning hours is a savvy move for various reasons. Heat-related illnesses such as heat stroke and heat exhaustion pose a serious threat to

people of all ages, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends cooling off in air conditioned places as temperatures climb.

By watering their lawns and gardens early in the morning, homeowners are ensuring they won’t be outside watering during those times of day when their risk for heat stroke and heat exhaustion is at its peak. In addition, watering in the early morning when the sun has not yet reached its peak decreases the

amount of water that will be lost to evaporation, thereby increasing the amount of water that will make it into water-needy lawns and gardens. • Shower at the beach.

Beach enthusiasts can conserve water and save money on their water bills by taking quick showers at the beach to wash the sand off. A cold shower can be the perfect remedy after a long day of soaking up some sun at the beach. And because beach showers use cold water, beachgoers are less likely to take luxurious, potentially wasteful showers than they

might at home. • Take nights off from doing dishes. Handwashing dishes may seem like a more effective way to conserve water than using a dishwasher, but that’s not the case.

The National Resources Defense Council notes that hand-washing dishes can consume as many as 27 gallons of water, while Energy StarŽ-rated dishwashers consume just three gallons of water. Before running the dishwasher, make sure it’s full. • Cover your pool.

Keeping pools covered

during the dog days of summer reduces the likelihood that pool water will be lost to evaporation. In fact, the GRACE Communications Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating sustainable food systems, notes that uncovered pools can lose as much as 1,000 gallons of water to evaporation each month.

Conserving water during the dog days of summer may require some sacrifice.

But such sacrifices are easier than many people may expect.

Little Valley is now the closest Relay event to both of these towns.

Relay is staffed and coordinated by volunteers in thousands of communities and 27 countries. Volunteers give their time and effort because they believe it’s time to take action against cancer. Relay is a team fundraising event where team members take turns walking around a track or designated path. Each event is 6-24 hours in length and each team is asked to have a member on the track at all times to signify that cancer never sleeps.

“Community members have formed teams and will be fundraising during the event, raising money to assist people facing a cancer

diagnosis and providing funds for cancer research,” explained Priscilla Snider, even co-chair. The American Cancer Society has a number of programs that assist with patient care and family care, and Snider noted that funds raised assist with these programs as well.

The Luminary Ceremony is one of the most moving events of Relay For Life.

Luminaries are created to celebrate cancer survivors and remember those who have lost their lives. The luminaries are illuminated around 9 p.m.

Other activities will be held throughout the day, such as barn wood painting with Rebecca Szpaicher and Zumba.

Relay for Life begins at

11 a.m. with an Opening Ceremony featuring Honorary Survivors, one of whom is Jim Croft of Springville, who Snider met at Holiday Valley over the winter.

Snider emphasized that Relay is a public event, and that while some teams have been busy fundraising, people can still show up and register the day of. “It really is just a great family event,” she said.

Those interested in volunteering at Relay are asked to call Snider at (716) 790-0473.
