Ellicottville OM Team Shines at World Finals Last week from May 20-23, Ellicottville Central School students proudly represented their school at the Odyssey of the Mind World Finals at Michigan State University. Odyssey of the Mind (OM) is an international educational program for teams of elementary through college students who solve problems using creative thinking, brainstorming, teamwork and problem solving skills. The program is designed to teach the concept that “a group is a more powerful thinking force than an individual.” Indeed, this very powerful group of Division I fourth and fifth grade students (all age 10) led by ECS teacher Leah Klahn, participated with more than 850 teams from See OM World Finals page 8

Local band The Hootz is on the rise! Not only have they been touring the region and beyond, performing their unique style of “not typical country” music in high-energy shows, but recently, they took a trip to the country music capital of Nashville, Tennessee to record some tracks. “We had a meeting with our manager, Ben Ewing, and booking agent, Gary Kirves/ Artist Events Nashville (when we were playing in Indiana) last month and they mentioned their interest in recording a couple jingles down there,” See The Hootz page 6

Local Elections 2015
Candidate Deadlines Approaching By Jann Wiswall
If you’ve been on the fence about running for local office, now is the time to make your decision. According to New York State election law, “persons wishing to run for elective office must be nominated either by a political party [by petition] or through
the filing of an independent nominating petition. …The current political parties are the Democratic, Republican, Conservative, Working Families, Independence and Green parties. Any person who is not nominated by one of these parties must file an independent nominating petition.”
Candidates registered with political parties may begin circulating petitions on June 2; notarized documents must be submitted to the state from June 6-9. These candidates will be placed on their parties’ primary ballots. Independent candidates may begin circulating “Opportunity See Local Elections page 9

Grades 3-8 ELA and Math Testing ECS Demonstrates Solid Results in 2014 Reprinted with permission from the May 2015 issue of the Ellicottville Central School District Newsletter. By Mark J. Ward, Superintendent
While we recognize that State testing is only one factor in the overall assessment of a student’s academic growth and development, comparing ourselves to county school districts and New York State allows us to see if our curriculum and instructional approaches are preparing our students for the challenges the tests present. It allows us to self-evaluate to determine if our methodology and approach match up with the new Common Core. Our staff is constantly re-evaluating how they approach the standards and the grade level expectations so our students are prepared for the challenges of the new curriculum. We do not teach to the test, we teach to prepare them to meet the next grade level goals. The results represent the second year of testing based on the new Common Core curriculum. While there continues to be a lot of discussion surrounding these tests, we continue to look forward to the challenges they present, and want our students and parents to know that we are keeping the results in perspective. Whether you are taking a driver’s test, SAT’s, National Occupational Competency Testing Institute Exams in CTE programs or
Sometimes Mangled Words Can Be Magical The newspaper you’re holding in your hands at this moment is the culmination of a great team effort by people who love their calling. Reporters and writers work tirelessly in a rush to meet deadlines and please their editors, as well as inform and entertain readers. And, they make mistakes. I collect those mistakes. Sometimes the mistakes are more entertaining than the articles they appear in. I got to thinking about messedup messages that somehow miss the scrutiny of two or even three sets of eyes as I drove through a town named Athol Springs last week. I love the slow drive that hugs the Lake Erie shoreline south from Buffalo to Erie, PA and every time I pass through Athol Springs, I shake my head in disbelief. My mind flashed back to a classified ad in a Texas daily newspaper that read: “Immediate opening for licensed speeth pathologist.” I imagined the historical reporter for a local Western New York paper writing: “Athol Springs was originally named by a somewhat cynical settler with a slight speech impediment.” I’m guessing the kids of Athol Springs leave town within an hour of graduation. They probably jump at the first job offer they see. Like the help wanted ad in the Camdenton, MO paper that read: “Singer for new rock band. Must be male or female.” Bit vague, but the band is most certainly an equal opportunity employer. Sometimes the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing. In the case of a Modesto, CA paper, the historian had not been communicating with the caterer. “A workshop on the history and future of Chinook salmon in the San Joaquin Valley’s rivers will be held in November. Baked salmon will be served for lunch.” That could have been much worse. That could have been a workshop on the history and future of family pets! And November? Weekday
or weekend? Early or later in the month? I’m not saying a skewed announcement can put a publication out of business, but this from the Religious News Service: “Eternity Magazine will cease publishing with the January issue.” How about “Ceasing publication, the final issue of Eternity Magazine will be January.” British copywriters are by far the best, intentionally mangling newspaper reports. From the crime sheet: “Thieves stole a van containing bottles of hair restorer. Police are now combing the area.” From a more serious crime sheet: “Two men robbed a bank today. One is described as being seven feet tall, the other four feet six. Police are looking high and low for them.” Amid all the supermarket ads: “A truck carrying onions has dumped its load on the highway. Motorists are advised to find a shoulder to cry on.” And from Lost & Found: “Hundreds of stray dogs disappeared yesterday. Police say they have no leads.” Some deliberate headlines are quite clever. Like: “Latin Course To Be Cancelled - No Interest Among Students Et Al.” Sometimes you can’t be sure if they’re deliberate. “Croupiers On Strike - Casino Management Says ‘No Big Deal’.” And: “Lingerie Shipment Hijacked - Thieves Give Police The Slip.” Now, that’s no accident. “Overweight? Meeting 6:00 p.m. at 522 North Eighth Street, Sheboygan, Illinois. Free. Bring your own chair.” Yeah, that’s definitely a mistake. “Department of Transportation reviewed plans submitted by the no-thrills motel chain.” Now that’s an accident. Either the copywriter meant to say “the nofrills motel chain” or that place is located in the heart of Amish country. Announcement in a small newspaper in Missouri
concerning an aerobics class: “Please bring a towel or mate for floor exercises.” Error, right? I think they were encouraging a participant to bring a ‘mat.’ If they did mean “mate,” you better bring a lawyer as well. And from a paper in Plains, MT about a service club’s monthly meeting: “The club president called the meeting to order and asked for a round of applesauce for the cooks.” No one was hurt, but the dry cleaning bill was over $100. And finally, my two favorites of all time— newspaper miscues that are almost magical. This from a Community Life insert in a British Columbia daily: “In last week’s edition of Community Life, a picture caption listed some unusual gourmet dishes that were enjoyed at the Central Library party for foreign students enrolled in a tutorial program for conversational English. Mai Thai Finn is one of the students in the program and was in the center of the photo. We incorrectly listed her name as one of the items on the menu. Community Life regrets the error.” Yeah, but not as much as Mai Thai Fin. And lastly from a paper in Jamestown, NY: “Correction. The band “Raging Saints” base their music on Born Again Christian principles and The St. James version of the Bible. They are not “unrepentant headbangers” as we reported in a column last Saturday. Our Night Life columnist regrets the error.” Yeah, but not as much as Mai Thai Finn. For comments, ideas and copies of The True Story of Wainfleet, go to www.williamthomas.ca

a Civil Service test for a job; it is more than likely that you will be required to take tests throughout your life. Many jobs, promotions and opportunities throughout life are based on test results…they are just part of life. The 3-8 testing allows us to see how well our students do both individually and collectively when compared to students in their same grade across the State. It also indirectly “grades” the teacher and shows whether or not the students they are teaching have shown academic growth (improvement) during the year. So in the final analysis, the tests do matter, and not taking them can impact students by not allowing parents, teachers and administrators access
to important information regarding student performance. The more difficult ELA and math curriculum known as the Common Core has been designed to better prepare our students for the challenges and competition they will face in college and the global work world. Some of the questions are very difficult, and, at times, do not seem fair, but the results do provide us with comparable data. In the chart above, you will see how our ELA and Math scores in grades 3-8 compare with the CA BOCES schools and New York State. Collectively ECS was first or second in 11 of 12 tests!!! We are once again extremely proud of our students and staff for their outstanding results!

Holiday Valley is the place to be on Saturday, June 20, where running in silly costumes while navigating an intentionally muddy obstacle course is the very definition of fun. And June 1 is the registration deadline for discounted entry fees. Yup. It’s almost Mudslide Obstacle Trail Run time again and if you’re thinking of signing up, don’t procrastinate. There is a maximum of 1,200 competitors. The event starts with a free chairlift ride up to Spruce Lake. A 3.5-mile course takes runners across the crosscountry trails to the top of Eagle, down Woodstock, across Explorer to Morning
Star, through the woods and across Mardi Gras, down Holiday Run to Edelweiss with a mud splattered finish to the Training Center. A 5.4-mile course adds a loop from Eagle to Cindy’s, down a logging road to lower Bear Cub and back uphill to Explorer. This section is so steep that the resort crew will install ropes to help you scramble up! The final challenge for all racers is the giant mud-slide (imagine a muddy Slip-n’Slide) down lower Yodeler. There’s also a kids’ half-mile race (up to age 12) for just $5 which includes that awesome mud-slide finish. Not a runner? Do it anyway! Walkers can get just as muddy as runners!
Running for the win? Prizes will be awarded to the three fastest male and female finishers. Chip timing and matt starts and finishes will be in place this year. You may register for the 3.5 mile OR the 5.4 mile route by June 1 for $60. If you can’t make your commitment quite yet, you may register until Friday, June 19 for $80. There is no day-of-race registration except for the kids’ race. Registration includes a goody bag, cool finisher’s medal, plus a hot dog and two free beverages at the post-race party on the Sundeck Terrace at Yodeler Lodge. Guests can also browse the Vendor Village with appearances by The City Garage, Do-Op Gear, Power Bar, Red Bull and more. Want to get the fun started early? Pick up your registration packet on Friday, June 19, at the Overlook Terrace and get in on a pre-race party at the Cabana with a chicken and ribs BBQ, music, drink specials, swimming and pool-side activities from 6-8 p.m. You can also pick up your race packet on Saturday morning from 8-11 a.m. at Yodeler Lodge.

As the ride progresses, though, your hips seesaw in the saddle, your lower back aches, and you slow in corners. What’s the problem? Your core cries “Uncle” long before your legs wear out. Although a cyclist’s legs provide the most tangible source of power, the abs and lower back are the vital foundation from which all movement, including the pedal stroke, stems. “You can have all the leg strength in the world, but without a stable core you won’t be able to use it efficiently,” says Graeme Street, founder of Cyclo-CORE, a DVDbased training program, and a personal trainer in Essex, Connecticut. “It’s like having the body of a Ferrari with a Fiat chassis underneath.” Cyclists often complain of lower back pain, which is related to core strength, or lack thereof. “In a leg press at the gym, you can press into the back pad to stabilize yourself,” says Andy Pruitt, Ed.D., director of Colorado’s Boulder Center for Sports Medicine, “but when you push on the pedal, there’s nothing to stabilize you except your core.” If it’s weak, your back fatigues quickly. The pain could also stem from other sources, Pruitt notes, from your cycling shoes to bike fit. A good rule of thumb: Your handlebars shouldn’t be more than one fist-width lower than your saddle, says Pruitt, who suggests a bike fitting for those with chronic back pain. “If a fitter can’t solve your problem in two tries, see a doctor or physical therapist,” he says. What’s more, a solid core will help eliminate unnecessary upper-body movement, so that all the energy you produce is delivered into a smooth pedal stroke. The following are some of the reliable core exercises that, if done on a consistent basis, will strengthen your core and your overall enjoyment and performance while cycling. Core Exercise #1: Boxer Ball Crunch
place your elbows under your shoulders with forearms and hands on the floor. B. Lift your hips off the floor, keeping your back straight and abs tight, and rest on your toes. Aim for 60 seconds. Why It Works: the plank builds the strength and muscular endurance you need to ride powerfully in the drops or in an aero position long after others have surrendered to the top of the handlebar. Core Exercise #5: Transverse Plank What It Works: Transverse abdominus and obliques A. Lie on your right side, with your right elbow under your shoulder, forearm in front for stability, and stack your left foot on your right. Raise your left arm over your head. B. In one motion, lift your hips to create a straight line down your left side. Lower your hips a few inches off the floor; do 10 to 15 reps, then switch sides. Why It Works: Strong obliques improve your stability in the saddle, letting you take on hairpin corners with more control and speed. Core Exercise #6: Scissors Kick What It Works: Transverse abdominus, hip flexors, inner and outer thighs A. Lying on your back with legs straight, place both hands palms down under your lower back. B. Pushing your elbows down into the floor and pulling your belly button toward your spine, raise your shoulders off the floor and look toward the ceiling. Raise your legs four inches off the ground and scissor them: left leg over right, then right over left. That’s one rep. Work up to 100. Why It Works: A comprehensive movement that connects key cycling muscles, the kick also builds innerthigh muscles, which help you achieve hip, knee and forefoot alignment for a proper and efficient pedal stroke. Core Exercise #7: Boat Pose What It Works: Transverse abdominus, lower back A. Sit, resting both hands lightly behind you, and lean back until your torso is at a 45-degree angle. B. Keeping your legs together, lift them off the floor as you extend arms forward at shoulder height. Abs are tight, as thighs and torso form a 90-degree angle. If your hamstrings are tight, you’ll need to bend your knees a little. Work up to holding for 60 seconds. Why It Works: As with the plank, the boat pose builds the lower-back stability and core strength needed to remain bent over the handlebar for hours, or to blast up hills without compromising power or speed.

explained Angela (Ange) Marino, who, along with her husband, Luke, make up The Hootz. “We’ve been writing a lot lately, and so after we sent our demo their way, they decided we should really focus on a single or two. We don’t like to waste time, so as long as we had a break in our tour schedule, we decided let’s just ‘get’r done.’” Ange, a Salamanca Central High School graduate and Luke, who attended Franklinville Central, took a brief break and headed south. “We were lucky enough to record at Ocean Way Nashville/ Studio B, were country legends such as Tim McGraw, Gretchen Wilson, Garth Brooks, The Dixie Chicks, Rascal Flats, Sheryl Crow, Faith Hill, Willie Nelson and many, many other artists have recorded,” Ange said. “We recorded two new tunes last week. The first song is called, ‘Drink About It,’ which has a tropical Caribbean feel that showcases our harmonies and will be perfect for the summer. The other is called ‘Don’t Call Me Crazy,’ which is a little spicier and has a Rockabilly/1950’s rock & roll feel to it, mixed with some contemporary lyrics. They’re ‘feel good’ songs, which is what we try and portray at our live shows.” Ange noted the collaborative effort it took to produce the tracks. “It was unreal to work with the caliber of engineers, producers and musicians we had helping us,” she said. “Richie Owens was our engineer, who is not only Dolly Parton’s first cousin and past band mate, but also was her engineer on Hungry Again. He’s also been credited for engineering GA Satellites Platinum & Gold records, and worked with artists such as Vince Gill, Michael Stipe, Social Distortion and The Bangles. He has an amazing ear for where and what needs to be tracked, and he also contributed his talent as a musician as he laid down some mandolin, guitar, ukulele and keyboard tracks on these two

be providing service to the proposed tower, asked for time to present the planning board with more information. Schena reopened a public hearing on the matter to allow both Verizon and Horvath Communications, which will be providing the tower, to respond to comments made at a prior public hearing on May 13. Whether you “agree or disagree, they deserve that,” he said. The proposed tower would be at 5556 Martin Road and would provide cell and internet service to areas that don’t currently have service in the surrounding valley. The proposed tower would be 200 feet high and have a base of 70 by 70 feet. If approved, the tower would be erected on Tim and Debbie Halloran’s property, who have led the effort to get service. “We need cell service, internet service, our kids need to do their homework,” Tim Halloran said.
He also said that there are safety concerns with school buses that travel through the area, as well as visitors to Pumpkinville. Most people use their cell phones as a GPS or to get driving directions, Halloran said, but without service they can easily become lost. A petition that was presented
“It’s hard to sell a home that doesn’t get cell service,” he said. “This would be a huge boost to our economy.” Some residents who would be in direct view of the tower, however, don’t feel the same way. Residents on Martin Road feel the tower would be an eyesore and the proposed
“The tower would provide cell and internet service in the valley.” to the town included 250 signatures in favor of the tower, all of whom Halloran said are within the “deadzone.” Currently, those in the area without service have landlines, though Halloran said they’re not the best. A rain or wind storm can easily knock them out, he said, and there is no push to get them fixed. “Landlines are a thing of the past,” he said. “No one is going to spend money to fix them.” Halloran also argues that the value of homes within the affected area will increase, if they have cell service.
area hasn’t been proven as the “most appropriate site,” a requirement for special use permits. Ryan McCann, of Attea & Attea, P.C. Attorneys at Law, who is representing resident Ricky Howard, said the information provided by Verizon and Horvath is not enough, nor does it satisfy the requirements outlined in the town’s zoning codes. In a packet sent to the Planning Board, McCann highlights that Horvath and Verizon have not provided adequate or concrete reasoning

The Hootz
Cyclists: Strengthen That Core! What It Works: Transverse abdominus, obliques, lower back A. Lie with the middle of your back on a stability ball with your knees bent 90 degrees and your feet flat on the floor. Place your hands behind your head, but don’t pull on your neck. B. Squeezing your belly button toward your spine, lift your upper back off the ball. Keeping your shoulders off the ball, trace a clockwise oval with your torso. Apply pressure with your lower back to keep the ball still through the entire motion. After 15 clockwise ovals, trace 15 counterclockwise. Why It Works: Despite the straightforward motion of the bike, your body moves in three directions: forward as you head down the road, vertically as your legs pedal up and down, and laterally as your hips and upper body rock side to side. “This fluid, circular exercise builds control,” says Street, and that helps you minimize lateral torsion and wasted motion. Core Exercise #2: Power Bridge What It Works: Hip flexors, glutes, lower back A. Lying on your back, bend your knees and place your heels near your glutes. Arms are at your sides, palms down. B. In one smooth motion, squeeze your glutes, raise your hips off the floor and push up from your heels to form a straight line from shoulders to knees; toes come off the floor slightly. Hold for two seconds. Keeping your toes raised, lower yourself three-quarters of the way to complete one rep. Do 20 repetitions. Why It Works: In addition to stretching the hip flexors, often extremely stiff in cyclists, the bridge strengthens the link between your lower back and glutes. Core Exercise #3: Hip Extension What It Works: Lower back, hamstrings, glutes A. Lying with your hips and stomach on the stability ball, put your hands on the floor directly under your shoulders, and extend your legs with toes resting on the floor. B. With a straight spine and shoulder blades back, as if you’re trying to make them touch, lift both legs off the floor, keeping them straight. If possible, raise them slightly higher than parallel to the floor. Hold for two seconds and lower. Do 20 reps. Why It Works: This movement builds backside strength for added efficiency on the second half of the pedal stroke. Core Exercise #4: Plank What It Works: Transverse abdominus, upper and lower back A. Lying on your stomach,

for choosing the Martin Road property when there are 10 other possible sites. McCann said he and Howard, who owns two properties on Martin Road, feel that both companies are trying to minimize their expenses by utilizing the existing access road. The existing road is a private road, however those who own property have access to it. “Verizon is trying to minimize the dollar amount by using this existing road. We don’t think they want to put [the tower] on another property because they would have to build [a road],” McCann said. “They haven’t approached us about maintaining this road, either.” Schena said the board would listen to the additional information at its meeting on June 10, but depending on what is presented, may not vote at that time. The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. in the Great Valley Town Hall.

tunes. Studio session musicians included Dave Roe Rorick (the bass player for Johnny Cash, Rosie Carter, Ray Lamontagne, Faith Hill, John Mellencamp, Vince Gill, etc.); his son and drummer Jerry Roe Rorick who has toured with Michelle Branch, Gretchen Wilson, The Wreckers, Tyler Hilton, Carlene Carter and others; Don Wayne Reno, who plays banjo for Hayseed Dixie; and Chris Carmichael, recognized for his fiddle playing with artists such as Martina McBride, Hank Williams III, Sara Evans, Toby Keith and others. “Ewing was our overall producer. He rallied the troops for us down yonder and had the final say on the material,” Ange explained. “He’s a true inspiration about what can be done with a little hard work. We pulled some rather long days/nights, but boy was it worth it!” While Ange and Luke were able to have a little free time in Nashville, the trip was mostly business. “Being in the studio is high energy, mixed with some intense pressure, especially since it’s a pretty penny to pull something like this off,” Ange said. “When we first walked through the studio halls and saw the huge list of celebrities who recorded in that exact place, I felt a bit overwhelmed, but everyone there made us feel at ease and right at home. I just thank the music gods for aligning the stars for us to even have this opportunity. What a feeling!” When can fans get their hands on the new tracks? “The goal right now is to have our management pitch these songs to all the major labels, so currently they are on hold for release/purchase,” Ange explained. “All of our latest news can be found on www.thehootz.com and we are anticipating a release in the near future.” As if a week in Nashville wasn’t enough, The Hootz returned to play at the Boots N Hoses music festival Memorial Day weekend in Allegany. “Boots N Hoses was a huge success and so much fun!” Ange said. “This was our third time sharing the stage with Josh Thompson, and gosh does he know how to put on a show. The Fire Department did
a great job coordinating this festival. We’ve played a lot of different festivals in Syracuse & Rochester; but this was the first real big event in our own community that we were invited to. It was great to have so many family and friends in attendance.” On the rare occasion that The Hootz is not performing, they’re still supporting the local music scene. “When we are not playing, we try to find other local bands that are,” Ange said. “We love to dance, and it’s important to support live entertainment. So often today you’ll find a DJ or a Karaoke machine in place of a live band. I don’t know about you, but when I go out to dance, I feed off the energy of the band…and love getting ideas for our live show, too. It’s a pretty cool art! Of course, we’re always writing, practicing and working on the business end of our music on our down time as well.” With a loyal and growing fan base, Ange urges her fans to follow their dreams. “Back when I was working my day job, I dreamed about singing in front of thousands of people and imagined what it would be like to sing as a full-time career. Well, dreams really do come true!” Ange said. “‘You bring about what you think about’ and I really believe that. I know that sounds super corny, but staying positive and knowing what you want…now that’s the real challenge.” She also added a special thank you. “I’d just like to give a quick thanks to all our friends and family out there who took a risk on our endeavors and really believe in us: Luckless Clothing Co., our parents, grandparents, fans, band mates (both live & studio musicians/ techs), Ben Ewing, Gary Kirves/Artist Events Nashville, and of course the Ellicottville Times for this beautiful writeup. We love you guys!” Upcoming nearby shows include the Cancer Isn’t Always Pink benefit on Saturday, May 30 in Randolph, Hollywood Happening on Sunday, May 31 in Gowanda, and performances on June 27 and July 3 at Seneca Allegany Casino.

This summer marks the historic village of Randolph’s 43rd Annual Arts and Crafts Festival, which for many visitors is the unofficial start of summer! On Saturday, June 20 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., dozens of craft and food vendors will line Main Street with their handmade wares and tasty treats. The Arts and Crafts Festival is also a great excuse to visit New York’s Amish Trail before taking part in the festivities downtown. Amish toy shops, woodworking shops, bake stands and fresh produce stands are just a few of the stops visitors can make on their way downtown. The Welcome Center of the Randolph Municipal Building, located at 72 Main Street, has a wealth of information on local shops and events. Visitors can pick up a map of the Amish Trail, which begins in Randolph and takes visitors throughout Cattaraugus County’s Amish communities. These selfguided driving tours allow visitors to tour at their own pace, or, if you prefer, guided tours are also available by visiting www.amishtrail.com or calling 1-800-331-0543. Please note that the Amish reserve Sundays for religious and family gatherings, so no businesses are open. Whether visitors are interested in rustic décor, home and garden products, jewelry or apparel, they’re sure to find it among the booths at the Arts and Crafts Festival. Jane Cain, owner of Wallflowers Design Studio, will be displaying her popular burlap and floral wreaths, and Franklin’s Honey will be returning with their delicious local confections. Visitors can also look forward to Simply Natural Alpaca Gift Shop of Randolph, where beautiful alpaca clothing and accessories, including handknit scarves, hats and socks

are on display. Booths selling hand-carved birdhouses, painted wind chimes, garden signs and more are also a beautiful part of the festival. Of course, there’s no shortage of good food to enjoy, as Randolph’s Peaches and Cream will be setting up its booth downtown with fresh produce and delicious Hershey’s Ice Cream. Food vendors selling Italian sausage, hot dogs, hamburgers, fried dough and sugar waffles will line Bank Street, which is adjacent to the festival’s entertainment center. On the lawn between Bank Street and Forget-Me-Not Flowers and Gifts, a variety of entertainers are scheduled to perform throughout the day. The festival begins with a performance by Old Dawg Bluegrass, one of the area’s most popular local bands, and is followed by the Jockular Juggler Bob Nickerson, a Pennsylvania resident and Guinness World Record holder who juggles kettle bells, basketballs and golf clubs, among other sport-related objects! At noon on the front lawn of Senn-Sations Salon and Day Spa, the Beautiful Baby Contest will take place: all
babies 12 months or younger are invited to participate in this fun event sponsored by Randolph’s favorite salon. Randolph’s Expressions Performing Arts Center’s dancers will be giving a performance this year on Main Street, and Hyam A. Shyster, professional magician, will be delighting the audience with his magic tricks! And, there’s even more to the Arts and Crafts festival than just the vendors and entertainment on Main Street. The Masonic Lodge will host a Saturday morning pancake breakfast hosted by at the Randolph Fire Hall from 7:3010:30 a.m. All day long, the Randolph Historical Society on Jamestown Street will be hosting a special exhibit on Randolph businesses over the years on Saturday. And next door, the Randolph Library will hold its annual book sale from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday, June 21. Give your summer a fun start by visiting Randolph on Saturday, June 20!

EVL Helping Hands Community Comes Together to Help Food Pantry
Ellicottville Food Pantry volunteers (clockwise from top) OJ Agramonte, Nancy Rogan, Shelly Kibby and Shari Barrera stand in front of the pantry’s new freezer and refrigerator. By Alicia Dziak
One hundred and sixtyeight families get that little something extra from the Ellicottville Food Pantry each month. Numerous volunteers donate their time to assure the pantry runs smoothly. One community comes together to make the vision of helping neighbors a reality. “All of Ellicottville has brought us to where we are today,” said Shelly Kibby, the food pantry’s volunteer director who spearheaded a recent effort to get the pantry some much-needed improvements. While public assistance programs, such as food stamps, help many of those in need, sometimes it’s just not enough. “People never know when they’re going to need the food pantry,” noted Nancy Rogan, another food pantry volunteer. While the food pantry is not meant to provide all meals each month, people look to them to supplement their needs. “The food pantry is meant to supply nine healthy meals per
month,” stated Kibby. As the food pantry has grown and continues to serve more and more families, not only in Ellicottville, but in other towns such as East Otto, Mansfield, Little Valley, Great Valley and more, it became evident that it also needed some upgrades. “The freezer (we were using) needed some work,” Kibby explained, noting that the pantry often had to borrow the church’s freezer, and even put items in the snow banks at times in the winter months. With money available from fundraisers and donations, the food pantry staff was able to save enough for a new freezer. Kibby used her negotiating skills to find a vendor who gave them a great price, and, to her surprise, with the deep discount, they were also able to afford a new commercial-grade refrigerator. Renovations began in March. A good-sized space, previously used as a classroom by the church, was transformed into the new storage room that
houses the new freezer and fridge, as well as new shelving. An adjacent room is used for storage of canned and boxed goods, as well as personal items, such as shampoo. It’s clear that the food pantry volunteers are proud of the new set-up, as they should be—while there is no “before” picture, the new space is bright and organized, and it’s obvious how excited everyone is to show off a huge freezer full of meat and a refrigerator full of fresh produce. “We’ve grown because of Shelly,” said Nancy Rogan, another volunteer at the food pantry. “She has a knack with people, and never makes them feel like they are anything less than wonderful.” Kibby, who moved to Ellicottville just a couple of years ago, has really made her mark in this small town, and she beams when she talks about the people of Ellicottville and all its community members banding together to make the food pantry a success. Whether it’s helping to unload trucks, picking up shipments of food, making a monetary donation or being available to lend a helping hand wherever and whenever needed, Kibby can’t emphasize enough how Ellicottville comes together to make the food pantry a success. The Ellicottville Food Pantry, located in the United Church of Ellicottville, is located at 53 Elizabeth Street. Monetary donations are gratefully accepted and can be sent to the Ellicottville Food Pantry, c/o United Church of Ellicottville, 53 Elizabeth Street, Ellicottville, NY 14731.
OM World Finals Continued from front page
around the world in the final stage of the Odyssey of the Mind competition. Klahn’s team’s journey began at the start of the school year, when they chose OM’s Problem 5 which challenged the team to create a performance depicting a director character that produces and presents a silent movie. Team members Mandy Hurlburt, Matthew Ives, Katie Krotz, Daniel Pfeffer, Christian Swalcy, Alysa Williams and Elsa Woodarek solved the problem using skills and techniques ranging from the mechanical to the theatrical over the course of the school year. The performance featured a villain character (a rather comedic villain) that committed three humorous acts of “villainy.” In classic early cinema style, the team’s performance allowed no speaking parts, but instead used music to convey suspense, emotion and action. In addition to creating the performance, the team was responsible for working within an allotted $125.00 budget. At the regional OM competition at Randolph Central School in March, their successful and entertaining production earned them a spot at the state competition at SUNY Binghamton on April 11. At the state competition, the team placed second out of
18 schools in their division, earning them the opportunity to compete at the World Finals. This is the third time in the last 10 years that ECS has sent a team to finals. Klahn’s team made their school proud, especially OM coordinator and elementary teacher Colleen Bower, who coordinates the ECS OM program and traveled to the World Finals with ECS students before and joined them last week. In her first year as an OM coach, Klahn was excited to share this feat with her students, who were supported by their school, community and families. “In talking to other coaches at the World Finals, I realized how fortunate we are to have such a supportive administration and school board,” said Klahn, who is grateful to ECS for funding the team’s trip to Michigan. “The fact that every student had at least one parent who accompanied them on our trip was wonderful for the students,” she added. Indeed, everyone who traveled to the World Finals enjoyed seeing Klahn’s students represent their school, as well as New York State. Klahn said that during the Opening Ceremony on May 20, her students, as well as other teams representing New York, all wore matching shirts and Statue of Liberty crowns.
Team member Elsa Woodarek even marched in the opening parade! In addition to the Opening Ceremony, students participated in the Float and Banner Parade with other New York team members. While one student dressed up as the Statue of Liberty, team members Matthew Ives and Alysa Williams wore barrel costumes reminiscent of the brave individuals who journeyed over Niagara Falls in barrels. On Friday, students performed their problem in front of a large panel of judges and an audience comprised of other teams, including one from South Korea. Although they did not leave Michigan with a trophy, their 26th ranking placed them in the top 30 of the 65 participating Division I teams who competed in Problem 5. For many, the international experience of competing in the World Finals is a reward in and of itself, for students met others from all over the United States and the world. Klahn explained that her students had the unique experience of trading pins and hats with students from across the United States and many other countries around the world. Indeed, other Division I teams who competed in Problem 5 journeyed from as far away as Canada, China, Mexico, Poland, Singapore, and South Korea. Additionally, the experience of interacting with others on a college campus was exciting for the students, who would not otherwise have enjoyed such an opportunity at such a young age. Although this year’s Odyssey of the Mind events have come to a close, students are looking forward to next year’s problem synopses, which have already been revealed. Four of Klahn’s students will be moving up to Division II next year; however, the three that remain in her division are eagerly recruiting their classmates and looking forward to another opportunity for creative problem solving next year!

From the Bookshelf Recommended Reading from the Ellicottville Memorial Library
‘Solitude Creek’ By Jeffery Deaver A tragedy occurs at a small concert venue on the Monterey Peninsula. Cries of “fire” are raised and, panicked, people run for the doors, only to find them blocked. A half dozen people die and others are seriously injured. But it’s the panic and the stampede that killed; there was no fire. Kathryn Dance--a brilliant California Bureau of Investigation agent and body language expert--discovers that the stampede was caused intentionally and that the perpetrator, a man obsessed with turning people’s own fears and greed into weapons, has more attacks planned. She and her team must race against the clock to find where he will strike next before more innocents die. This book is currently available in book format at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. It is also available in large print using our interlibrary loan program. Don’t forget, you can access over 9,000 eBooks and eAudiobooks using your library card!

Live Performances Set for Ray Evans Seneca Theater
Pictured from left to right is Director Todd Wagner,actress Raquel Ann Lopez, Actor Nate Clory and Assistant Director Meaghan Randall. They are practicing for the musical. “The Last Five Years”
The CCLAA recently announced the 2015 Theater season at the Ray Evans Seneca Theater, beginning with “The Last Five Years,” which explores a fiveyear relationship between a novelist and a struggling actress. The show, directed by Todd Wagner and assistant director Meaghan Randall, uses a form of storytelling in which the actress’s story is told in reverse chronological order (beginning the show at the end of her marriage), and the novelist’s story is told starting just after they met.This is all done through dialog and songs. Show times will be as follows: June 4,5,and 6, 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, June 7 at 2 p.m. Other upcoming shows include “Avenue Q” July 16-19, and “Into the Woods Aug. 13-16. Tickets are available in Salamanca at Sanders Parkview, the Senior Citizen Center on Main Street, at www.showclix.com/ rayevanssenecatheater, or at the door the night of the performances.

forget. And, it isn’t too late to form a team, so grab your friends, family, co-workers, the letter carrier — you get the idea — and create a team of your own. Visit www.relayforlife. org/cattarauguscounty/NY. Highlights of the event include the Opening Ceremony honoring an individual survivor, the Survivor Lap, Caregivers Lap, capped by the emotional Luminary Ceremony honoring those lost to cancer, as well as those who have won the battle along with their caregivers. There is also a special luncheon for cancer survivors. Cabana Party, June 19 Get psyched for the Holiday Valley Mudslide at the Friday night Cabana Party, 6–9 p.m. Everyone is invited to come, even if you’re not participating in the muddiest event of the year. There will be a chicken and rib barbeque, music by the Bleeding Hearts and drink specials at the brand new Cabana Bar. The pool will also stay open until 10 p.m. Pick up your Mudslide race packet from 5–8 p.m. If you decide last minute, you can still register for the event that evening at the Overlook Terrace next to Holiday Valley Lodge. Mudslide Obstacle Trail Run, June 20 Never heard of the Mudslide? If you enjoy obstacle trail runs,
enhanced by lots of mud, then this event is for you. It’s a fun run with 11 obstacles taking place on June 20 on the slopes of Holiday Valley. You can decide if you want to tackle the 3.5-mile or a 5.4-mile course. Space is limited to 1,200 participants, so sign up now. Kids as young as 7 years old may run the shorter course, or kids under 12 can participate in the Kids’ Race, which is ½ mile long and includes 2 obstacles and the final mudslide. Don’t forget to wear your zaniest costumes, because prizes will be awarded for most creative. Everyone gets an award at the finish line — after they slip down the huge mudslide, the grand finale of the race. For more details or to register, visit www.holidayvalley.com/ mudslide. Ellicottville Rodeo, July 2–5 Bring the whole family to an authentic rodeo featuring more than 350 rodeo athletes. It’s Wild West, non-stop action with nine exciting events.

Summer Music Festival, July 3–5 This eagerly anticipated annual event kicks off July 3 with the Mountaintop Party at Holiday Valley. Ride the
chairlift to the top and enjoy drinks, hors d’oeuvres and a fabulous view. On July 4, the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra will delight all ages with wellknown tunes from the “Star Wars” movies, including a live “battle” between good and evil. It wouldn’t be the Fourth of July without patriotic tunes, made even more special as they are synched to a spectacular fireworks grand finale. The Grammy Awardwinning band Blood, Sweat and Tears will take the stage on July 5 for the weekend finale. The band, headed by talented American Idol runnerup Bo Bice, will take you back many decades with hits like “Spinning Wheel” and “You’ve Made Me So Very Happy.” Warming up the crowd is Buffalo’s Caitlin Koch, who was featured in “The X Factor USA” in 2011. Koch will be performing her original music. Bring a picnic, blankets and lawn chairs and settle in for a great weekend. Get tickets at www.ellicottvilleny. com. Children 12 and under admitted free.

Armor Inn Bike Days Continued from front page
“We want to make this a destination for a weekend ride where people can meet friends, make new friends and enjoy great food and entertainment,” said restaurant owner JC Seneca. “We want to bring something to Ellicottville that benefits all the businesses here.” And, added Mark Tufilaro, director of development for Seneca’s family of companies, “We want to bring the community together and encourage the business community to be involved as well.” After all, while bike enthusiasts may come for the bikes, they’ll stay for all Ellicottville has to offer, strolling the streets and browsing the local shops. In addition to an afternoon of fun, visitors can expect to see efforts to raise money for a variety of local charities through the JC Seneca Foundation (jcsenecafoundation.org), a non-profit corporation whose mission is to advance healthy living in body, mind and spirit for the people of the Seneca

Nation and surrounding communities. The foundation’s future plans include supporting the EVGV Trail and the Alley Katz. “We want to help other people and work with charities that have an effect on people’s lives,” Seneca said.
Bike Days will be held Sundays from 2 to 6 p.m., June 7 through September 13, excluding festival weekends. “We’ll make this a fun and enjoyable event for all,” said Tufilaro, adding that Bike Days is a family-friendly event for kids and adults alike. June 7 will feature live music by the Mick Hayes band. Lineups for upcoming weeks can be found at www. armorinn.com. Ride for Dialysis May 30 Bike lovers have another opportunity to support an important local cause during the JC Seneca Foundation’s second annual Ride for Dialysis happening Saturday, May 30. The Ride for Dialysis will go from Hamburg to Ellicottville to Gowanda, and bikers will be part of the parade of bikes that opens Gowanda’s Hollywood Happening. The ride is free, but a $20 donation is appreciated. Funds raised will go toward Seneca Nation’s Dialysis Program. Last year, funds went toward a van to transport patients back and forth to clinics.

2015 4-H Tractor & Machinery Certification Program The 2015 4-H and FFA Tractor & Machinery Certification Program will be offered to boys and girls ages 14 and up at the BOCES Center in Belmont, June 24, 25 and 26 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Since State Law requires that 14 - 16 year olds be certified before operating farm tractors and machinery, Cornell University Cooperative Extension of Allegany County and Vo-Ag Instructors are once again cooperating to provide this training. Registration and Authorization of Consent Forms are available from
the 4-H office in Belmont (5435A County Road 48) or from the following Vocational Agriculture Instructors: Pat Ploetz – Cuba-Rushford (Cuba campus), Than Mehlenbacher – Fillmore. The forms and $15 registration fee are due in the 4-H office by June 19, 2015. Many farm accidents happen because people do not recognize dangers and/or are careless around hazardous machinery. Since working on a farm is a hazardous occupation, we need to be sure that young operators have had instruction in safe operation of farm machinery. Youth operating more powerful lawn tractors
with multiple attachments are susceptible to many of the same dangers faced on farms while working in the backyard. While certification is not required for youth working at home, this safety program can help ensure family safety when operating lawn mower and gardening equipment. 4-H and FFA youth that pass the course are eligible to enter the Tractor Operators’ Contest at the Allegany County Fair on Tuesday, July 14, 2015 at 9:30 AM. County winners may be considered for competition at Empire Farm Days.
