FOUR OPEN GOLF TOURNAMENTS COMING TO HV THIS SUMMER Holiday Valley’s Double Black Diamond Golf Course will be hosting several events this summer that combine fun themes with real golf. “This ‘new face of golf’ is designed to bring excitement and variety to the traditional game with these casual and fun tournaments,” said Kyle Benish, Assistant PGA Professional at Holiday Valley. Each tournament is open to the public. “Fairway to Heaven” is a two-player nine-hole modiﬁed alternate shot event scheduled for June 12 at 5 p.m. Players are encouraged to dress as their favorite band/artist and to bring a Bluetooth speaker to play their favorite music while they golf. Cost $38 for members, $48 for non-members. Fee includes golf, cart, concert cuisine and prizes, plus a closest to the pin contest. Next, Kyle Benish and Tom Dirito invite you to tee it up at the Assistant Professional Invitational — formerly known as the Gotta Go Tourney — scheduled for July 17 with a shotgun start at 1 p.m. The format is a “6-6-6” with a combination of best ball, alternating shot and scramble. Cost $60 for members, $90 for non-members. Covers lunch and dinner, green fees and cart, plus prizes. To make things really interesting, there’s a 3-hole Super Skins shoot out for $300 cash. Proceeds from this tournament support Kyle and Tom in their continuing education as Golf Professionals. As football season approaches, the nine-hole “Tailgates and Tee Times” with an NFL theme is scheduled for Aug. 23 at 5 p.m. Two-player teams of men, women or mixed will compete in a two-person scramble including a closet to the pin contest as well as kick, throw, catch and punt contests. Entry fee is $38 for members, $48 for non-members. Includes 9 holes of golf, cart, 2 beer or wine tickets, tailgate food and prizes.

Springville readies for Dairy/Ag Festival this weekend By Deb Everts

Residents of the Springville area are excited to have the 30th annual Western New York Dairy/ Agricultural Festival back in the village this year, which will take place June 7-9. The event celebrates the dairy industry and the role of agriculture in people’s daily lives. This year’s theme is “Celebrating WNY Dairy/ Ag Festival’s 30th Anniversary.” Festivities kick off Friday morning with “Drive Your Tractor to School Day.” The festival ofﬁcially begins at 5 p.m. when rides by American Amusements open. Crafters will have their booths open until 8 p.m. that night and the Farm Tent will be open until 9 p.m. Some of the highlights of this year’s festival will include the festival parade on Saturday at 10 a.m., the crowning of the Erie County Dairy Princess and ambassadors, a presentation of Western New York Dairy of Distinction awards, an “Ice Cream Eating Contest” sponsored by the Future Farmers of America (FFA) at 2 p.m. Saturday, and a “Name the Calf and Goat” contest at the Farm Tent all weekend. Meet the 2018-19 Dairy Princess Kristen Brown and her ambassadors at the Music Tent on Friday night from 8 to 9 p.m. The princess and her entourage will be in attendance all weekend and have a stand set up with Upstate Farm’s Intense Milk. There will be live entertainment at the Music Tent all weekend. The Friday lineup includes the Springville School Chorus, Gene Hiltz & The Rustic Ramblers, and the Ozone Rangers.

Saturday entertainers include Down Home Country Cloggers, Bill Coca and the Springville Jazz Band, Dark Red Duo, Band of Brothers, Dave Jeffer’s Magic Show, and Q. Phunk. Sunday’s music will include Ken Cornell and The Country Poor Boys, Backwoods Country Cloggers, Dave Tucker with Nip-N-Tuck. The crowning of the new Dairy Princess will also take place at the Music Tent on Saturday, as well as the Dairy of Distinction awards. The Music Tent reopens Sunday morning

at 10 a.m. with a service by the Faith Baptist Church. Other features and attractions include an arts and crafts show with 30 or more craft vendors, new and antique farm equipment displays, farm activities for kids, an animal farm zoo and a food court. Pastor Kevin Friedman, who is organizing the event, said the event has been held at SpringvilleGrifﬁth Institute High School for three previous years, but it was not held at all last year due to grounds construction at the school. “We couldn’t ﬁnd a place large enough to hold our event last year,”

he said. “The grounds at SpringvilleGriffith are very well-kept and very nice. We have the use of the grass fields now when we used to be on dirt, which was kind of annoying to some folks.” According to Friedman, the idea of a festival became a reality 30 years ago at a kitchen table when an agriculture teacher and a farm family got together and planned the first one. They were thinking about the fun everyone could have, but also wanted to give people the opportunity to look into the lives of farm families. “The festival is good for Springville because it brings in not only the locals but also outsiders to town,” he said. “It gives people a chance to see what’s going on in Springville and to check out some of the local businesses.” Friedman said the more the community gets involved in the dairy festival, the more they show themselves off. He said the vendors and the little shops in town will have a great variety of things to offer, so it’s also an opportunity for them. “We wish to thank our sponsors listed on our website because this event is completely funded by them,” he said. “Without our sponsors, we wouldn’t have a Dairy Festival.” The festival will take place, rain or shine, at Springville-Griffith Institute High School located at 290 North Buffalo St. Festival hours are Friday evening from 5 to 10 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. For updated information on featured attractions and events, check online at wnydairyagfest.com.

ECS NEWS & SPORTS Ellicottville Elementary student interviews veterans for Memorial Day

For Memorial Day, Ellicottville Elementary School teacher Bill Delity asked his fourth-grade class to come up with a project that honors the true meaning of Memorial Day. One of his students, Isabella Wilder, took it upon herself to interview two local veterans during the Ellicottville Memorial Day Parade and write up a report. Read on to see what Isabella found out and what the veterans she talked to had to say. Have you ever wondered what Memorial Day means to a veteran? Well, I had an extra credit assignment from my teacher, Mr. Delity, and decided to ﬁnd out for myself! Our class had many options to choose from for a Memorial Day project, so I decided to be a reporter! I attended the Memorial Day parade in Ellicottville and interviewed two Veterans. I ﬁrst interviewed a United States Army Reservist Dental assistant, Mr. John Burrell. I asked him what Memorial Day means to him and he replied, “It gives you an opportunity to remember the people killed in action.” I was very curious as to how he kept in touch with his family while serving in the Army, so I asked him what did you do? He said, “Letters mostly, and payphones also.” While listening to Mr. Burrell, I also found out for his assignment that he helped the dentist work on people in the military.

Before ending our conversation, I asked him if there was anything else that he would like to tell me and he said, “Just that we are very dependent on our military not only to defend our country but to preserve our culture as well.” The second person I interviewed was Mr. Wally Holland. He was a Common Wealth Division Ofﬁcer in Korea. He told me that he and one other man was chosen out of 5,000 men to go to Japan for this special job. He worked in collections, which means that he took care of contents that were in uniforms after a veteran died in the war. He took great honor in this job. I asked him if he was drafted or if he enlisted. He said when he was 19, he was drafted and had to go. Mr. Holland said that he is proud to be in this nation and that Memorial Day reminds him of what a great country this is. I’m very grateful that I had this opportunity to speak with these veterans about their tales. I’ve learned that Memorial Day is not just about barbeques, parades and a day off of school, but of honoring those who have fallen in action. All veterans have their own story to tell with each being just as important as the next. Thank you, Mr. Burrell, Mr. Holland and all veterans for your service. Also, thank you, Mr. Delity for giving me this assignment.

ECS elementary students evacuated from school basement

By Louisa Benatovich Student Reporter

Despite contradictory guarantees, the Emergency Capital Project tile installation lagged a couple of days behind schedule as the Ellicottville Central School Board met on June 4. During the senior tile’s removal, a considerable amount of dust was released into the air. All of the elementary basement’s classrooms and offices were relocated upstairs for the remainder of the day. After a call to the contractor, Superintendent Bob Miller confirmed that the dust is not harmful. He assured the school board that the tiles would be worth the wait, saying “it’s not flashy, not showy, but it’s there.” An Emergency Management Plan was also addressed by the superintendent prior to the meeting’s start. Though some of the plan is detailed in a manifesto set for approval on July 9, most of it is termed “topsecret” by Miller. This classified information includes rendezvous points, escape routes and classroom protocol. When a member of the public broached the

topic of an SRO, it was explained that the grants simply did not exist for such a venture. “Even though we don’t have an SRO, we have a great relationship with the police ofﬁcer,” said Miller. “It’s the busy time of year,” he continued his superintendent’s report. Bids for school buses are underway and the end-ofyear sports banquet was a tremendous success. “We are going to be in good hands with Dave [McCann],” said Miller of the new athletic director. The sports banquet was also an opportunity to send off some of ECS’s most cherished staff: Mary Neilon and Dave Pelton. Neilon, a long-time soccer coach and physical education teacher, was given a blanket covered with the arsenal of inspirational sayings annually on rotation in her classrooms and practices. Dace Pelton, an avid grillmaster, was gifted a BBQ cover emblazoned with “Gotcha Covered.” The phrase, Pelton’s motto at ECS, was his response whenever a bus was needed for an event or, as Mr. Miller put it, “when the administration forgot.” As the year ends, preparations for

graduation are still underway, and the board is busy interviewing candidates for open positions. IN THE HIGH School Principal’s Report, Mr. Ploetz said high schoolers are set to end classes on June 17. Final exams and projects are underway for many college courses, and the Regents assessments will take place from June 18 onward. The 6th graders remain with the elementary until June 25. In addition, junior/ senior prom is happening this weekend. Ticket sales boomed with 82 attendees set to party at The Woods at Bear Creek on June 8. The Math 8 ﬁeld test was given on the computer, and after the experience, ECS has

no plans to implement computer-based tests in the future. Fortunately, the staff is trained if the need arises. A retreat for July 12 is being planned for student representatives across grades 6-11. This venture is aimed to aid in the design of the buildingwide mental health curriculum and awareness events for the 2019-20 school year. The three main foci of interest will be suicide prevention and mental health awareness; drug/ alcohol awareness; and social media and cell phone concerns. Also of note, the BringYour-Tractor-To-School Day on May 31 was also a raging success. Mr. Ploetz was one of the participants.

Hayly Fredrickson earns two top-five finishes at Section 6 track finals 800 (2:31.17) and fifth in the pentathlon 100 hurdles (:17.88) F/E’s Meganne Chapman was seventh in the discus (95-feet2-inches) and Alysa Williams was 10th in the 2,000 steeplechase (8:32.64). Mandy Hurlburt was ninth in the

100 hurdle preliminaries (:17.92). For the F/E boys, Noah Steinbroner took sixth in the 200-meter dash (:23.81) and eighth in the 100 (:11.58). Tyler Oaks tied for ninth in the pole vault (10-6).

ECS music at Darien Lake: A Student’s Perspective

By Adam Silvernail

It was a warm, spring morning and the bus was supposed to leave at 7:30 a.m. Due to some slowpokes, however, it left closer to 7:40 a.m. After an hour on the road, we arrived at Darien Lake. We had to go through the main gate instead of a side gate like normal, and walk from one side of the park to the other. We grabbed our instruments from our van that was allowed to use the side-gate and brought our equipment to a grassy clearing nearby. We tuned our instruments there, set up at site 5 — also nearby, fortunately — and played our three songs, “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing,” “A Pirate’s Tale” and “Pandora’s Lament,” for the judges. After we had ﬁnished, we packed up our equipment and hauled it all the way back to the bus on the other side of the park, since the van had to ferry members of the track team to a competition. It was about 10 a.m. at this point, and we were granted two hours to enjoy the park before lunch. The meal was decent, and afterward, besides a quick check-in at 3 p.m., we had ﬁve hours to go wild before the awards ceremony. At 5 p.m., all the bands and choruses that performed that day met at the same spot we ate lunch. The speakers were extremely

loud so everybody in the back could hear and I immediately regretted sitting in the front. There were 11 schools competing in our AA division alone. Out of the 11 bands, we placed 2nd with a rating of 97.55 out of 100. Not too bad. The school that did beat us was a charter school, and its students get private lessons. I don’t feel too bad losing to them. After the ceremony, we had until 6:30 p.m. to have fun before we got back on the bus and came home. After we had left, I had the opportunity to ask some students what they thought. “I wasn’t satisﬁed at ﬁrst,” said Caleb Jennings, ECS sophomore, “but [another student] said that at the other schools they all get private lessons, so

I guess second was pretty good.” Crystal Wilder, high school band director, was pleased with the result. “The development throughout the school year as well as the overall musicianship of each student,” she said. “Also, despite our having fewer numbers in some (music) sections than the score (song) calls for, we learned how to balance our group out.” “After we had ﬁnished performing, it was difﬁcult to accept that, underneath screaming children on roller coasters, this was the last time we were playing as a band,” said Louisa Benatovich, ECS senior. “Band has been such a huge part of my high school experience and Darien Lake this year marked the end of

an era.” On a happier note, Leilani Foster, Ellicottville freshman, had lots to say about her ﬁrst Darien Lake trip “I loved it!” she said. “Deﬁnitely don’t eat so many loaded French fries, but it was fun. The best ride was the Predator and I can’t wait to go again.” Jalee Evens, a sophomore, responded that she most enjoyed the magician and “debunking all of his tricks with [her] colleagues.” We had fun this year, and we will next year. And the next. And the one after that. But if I know this band, we won’t be content with just second. I give you my personal guarantee and promise that we will bring home the gold next year.

HEALTH & FITNESS: DOES SUMMER MAKE YOU FAT?

By Kim Duke We typically blame the winter holidays and rich comfort foods for winter weight gain. But, with warmer weather and summer fast approaching, we need to examine how “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 ice 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. 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, we have just endured one of our longest winters. So enjoy what the season has to offer. Just do it in moderation.

Holiday Valley to host symposium to tackle NY marijuana legalization’s impact on public health

By Tom Dinki

While New York lawmakers debate how to spend the revenue from potential legalization of recreational marijuana use, an upcoming symposium wants to discuss how legalization could impact public health. The Western New York Public Health Alliance, along with the New York State Public Health Association, is hosting “Marijuana Symposium: The Public Health Perspective” June 11 at Holiday Valley Ski Resort in Ellicottville. The public symposium will feature three speakers offering perspectives on the current status of New York’s marijuana legalization, as well as what lessons can perhaps be learned from other states that have legalized. “It isn’t just a monetary issue. There are also other impacts to the community,” said Kate Ebersole, facilitator of the WNY Public Health Alliance. “It’s more to say, ‘What are some of the issues people maybe aren’t considering around legalization of marijuana?’ … The outlier issues, the ones that aren’t necessarily in the main part of debate but nonetheless need to be taken into consideration

by communities if we do legalize marijuana.” WNY Public Health Alliance has been offering symposiums, including on topics like concussions, e-cigarettes and Alzheimer’s disease, for about a year and a half. Ebersole said it felt appropriate to now hold one on marijuana given the possibility New York could legalize recreational, adult use of the drug in the near future. Legalization was part of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s initial budget proposal but did not make it into the ﬁnalized budget passed in April. Democratic lawmakers introduced a revamped legalization bill last week in the hopes of passing it ahead of the end of the legislative session June 19. Lawmakers have said the biggest hurdle is coming to an agreement on where to spend the revenue from taxed marijuana. “Obviously there’s been a lot of debate in New York state,” Ebersole said. “(WNY Public Health Alliance) just felt like this whole idea of the public health concerns and some of the outlier issues ... had not been raised as well as they could have.” Some of the public health issues that could

arise from legalization are more impaired drivers on the road, as well as youth consumption. Colorado found that its marijuana-related trafﬁc deaths more than doubled after it legalized marijuana in 2014, going from 55 deaths in 2013 to 125 deaths in 2016, while a state-issued survey actually found marijuana use among teens slightly decreased since the drug was legalized. The June 11 symposium will actually feature the manager of the Colorado Department of Public Health’s Marijuana Health Monitoring and Research program, Elyse Contreras. She’ll discuss the public health impact and issues associated with the state’s marijuana legalization. There will also be representative from another that has legalized recreational marijuana use. Cheryl Sbarra, the senior staff attorney for the Massachusetts Association of Health Boards, will discuss guidance on social consumption of marijuana, as well as regulating establishments that sell marijuana. Offering perspective on New York’s ongoing legalization process will

be Dr. Lorraine Collins, associate dean for research for the University at Buffalo’s School of Public Health and Health Professions. Collins serves on the governor’s workgroup for drafting legislation on legalizing recreational marijuana use. “The speakers will offer a range of perspective,” Ebersole said. While WNY Public Health Alliance’s symposium on concussions targeted coaches and its Alzheimer’s symposium targeted caregivers, Ebersole said the marijuana symposium will have no target audience. “We want to leave it as open as possible to anyone that is interested in learning more about this,” she said. “The tone we’re trying to take is advocacy and education for the full range of information that will be needed for people to make good decisions about this.” The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. June 11 in the Fairway Room of Holiday Valley. Admission is free but registration is required, as the event is open to the ﬁrst 125 people. Lunch will be provided.

’ FATHER S JUNE 16 TH

DAY

Father’s Day gifts for the modern dad

Father’s Day is a chance for people to show the special men in their lives just how much they’re loved. Though it was first celebrated on June 19, 1910, it was not until decades later that President Richard Nixon made honoring fathers a nationwide holiday in the United States. While there are many different ways to honor dads, it has become customary to offer gifts and other tokens of affection. According to History.com, Americans now spend more than $1 billion each year on Father’s Day gifts. Many modern fathers are more involved in their children’s lives and around the house than their own fathers were. Gifts that cater to today’s well-rounded dads are sure to be appreciated. · Cool duds: Modern dads are fashion-forward and might enjoy a piece of clothing or a gift card to their favorite retailer. If you know a store where Dad loves to shop, stop in for some inspiration. · Pampering products: Mom is not the only one who likes to indulge in some pampering from time to time. Put together a carefully curated basket of men’s grooming products, or purchase a set from a bath and body store like Lush. · Fitness finds: If you haven’t already gifted the special man in your life with a fitness tracker

watch, now is the time to do so. Such a watch will tap into his love of gadgets and provide some utility as he tries to be as healthy as possible.

· Cookbooks: The stereotype that dads are hopeless in the kitchen has long since been refuted. Many men are top-notch home chefs and will appreciate some new recipes to try. Combine the cookbook with a new culinary tool, like a cast-iron skillet or a mandoline slicer, so he can try out his skills right away. · Support the team: If Dad is a sports fan, find a baseball cap or a jersey of his favorite team/player. Many sports stores only carry inventory for local teams. If Dad supports a team in a different state or country, do your shopping online at a site like Fanatics.com. · Craft beers: The craft beer movement has expanded exponentially in recent years. Visit with a local brewer and purchase bottles or growlers of a favorite brew. If you know the flavor profile that Dad favors, find a beer that suits that preference while also giving some new varieties so he can put together his own flight. This Father’s Day, delve deeper to find gifts that a dad will truly love even if he seemingly has it all.

garbage pails behind a barrier and keep trash out of sight. Store children’s toys in the backyard rather than strewn across the front lawn. These simple steps can improve curb appeal instantly.

Curb appeal can help a home get noticed in a bustling real estate market. Curb appeal also can contribute to the aesthetics of a neighborhood for residents who plan to stay put, and many homeowners feel an attractive exterior is just as important as a comfortable interior. Homeowners do not have to spend a fortune to improve the curb appeal of their homes. With these strategies, anyone’s home can take on a more appealing look.

Spruce up the lawn A well-manicured lawn can go a long way to making a home more appealing. If your thumb is anything but green, hire a professional lawn and garden service to help you establish a lush, green lawn. Dress to impress The entryway to a home is the first thing visitors will see. Be sure the front door and entryway are in good repair. A pop of color can’t hurt, either. If you do not like the idea of painting the door a vivid hue, dress it up with a colorful wreath or another decorative accent. Carry your interior design style to the outdoors as well. Welcoming accents, such as cushioned chairs or

BLACKTOP

Clean up A messy, untamed front yard can detract from a perfectly acceptable home. Cleaning up your yard and home’s exterior is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to give the place a makeover. Cut back overgrown shrubs, plants and trees. Make sure the front door is clearly visible and that any walkways are edged and accessible. Store

potted plants, also add curb appeal. Consider painting house numbers on a terra-cotta pot and filling it with plants. The pot will be decorative and functional. Rely on symmetry Symmetry is pleasing to the eye and easy to arrange. Use it to frame your entryway and throughout your property. Symmetrical use of lighting fixtures, plants, trees, and decorative items really can have an impact. Don’t forget lighting Outdoor lighting adds appeal and safety to a property. Use lighting to accent a special landscaping feature or to illuminate a walkway. Few people enjoy approaching a dark home, and outdoor lighting can ensure your property always is well-lit. Remember, curb appeal is applicable both day and night. Improving on curb appeal can make a difference in how others view your home.

then a challenging uphill where it joins back into the short course. Several new obstacles have been built, but probably the most unique is the snow mountain on Firecracker. At the end of the ski season, the mountain crew pushed up the remaining snow on Firecracker into a huge mound, then carefully insulated and covered it to preserve it all the way to June 15 — the cold weather has helped. Runners will have to scramble up one side of the pile then slide down the other side before continuing on to the finish. Some of the more unique obstacles include a maze, “lily pads” in Spruce Lake, spinning tubes over a giant mud puddle, enormous amounts of bubbles and, the final challenge, a giant mudslide down lower Yodeler. Stay tuned for a possible “snow” feature, weather permitting. Medals are awarded to all finishers. Unique handmade trophies will be awarded at the post race party at the Yodeler Lodge to the three fastest men and women in each race, as well as the most creative costumes. Ellicottville’s City Garage Ski Shop will provide free demos of Salomon Speedcross trail shoes and will award the fastest man and woman on the long course with a pair of Salomon trail shoes. Adventure Bound on the Fly is providing prizes for the fastest man and woman in the short course. Several additional local merchants have signed

up as prize sponsors and will have tents set up in the Vendor Village. If the Mudslide intrigues you but you don’t want to run, how about volunteering? There are lots of different jobs available. Email Jake Swan, jswan@holidayvalley.com or call him at 699-3932 to sign up. The post-race party is held at the Yodeler Lodge where competitors receive a pulled pork sandwich or hot dog and two beers (or water). DJ Tyler Burns keeps the music pumping and there’s an atmosphere of after-run euphoria and fun times for all. Online registration is currently $60 at holidayvalley.com/mudslide for the 3.5- or the 5.4-mile run and $10 for the kids’ run (up to age 12). There’s also a special local’s discount of $15 off. Go to holidayvalley.com/mudslide and click on registration. Enter “local” in the promo code box. The registration fee goes up to $65 on June 10 and day-of-race registration is $70, available until 10 a.m. at the Yodeler Lodge. All competitors will receive a goody bag and a super cool ﬁnisher’s medal. Following the post party, all Mudslide participants are encouraged to visit Ellicottville to use the coupons from local businesses that are included in competitor goody bags. Special lodging packages including Mudslide entry fees are available at the Inn at Holiday Valley, the Tamarack Club and Holiday Valley Rental Management Properties.

Two local women have been introducing the public to the use of natural products in their daily lives as an alternative to harsh chemicals. Annie Widger and Lisa Williams, who are distributors of Young Living (YL) products, have been educating people about these natural products will offer another segment of their class series, “Discover and Create Alternatives to Chemical Sunscreens, Bug Sprays and More,” at the Ellicottville Memorial Library on June 13 at 6:30 p.m. The ladies started out by doing private classes in people’s homes and three years ago they began to offer a series of classes at the Ellicottville Library. Widger said at these classes, each participant leaves with a lovely homemade product utilizing YL Essential Oils. Widger said the impact natural health has had on their lives was the impetus. Sharing their passion and seeing the successes in the lives of others striving for better health was and still is a powerful motivator. She said this journey of using natural products started personally in their own lives at home. “In our current

culture, we are bombarded with chemicals in all areas of our daily lives,” she said. “Beauty products, cleaning products and foods are all chocked full of known hormone disruptors and chemicals that are linked with a variety of cancers. Many of these have been banned in multiple European countries. Paraban is an example.” “I, for one, am concerned about what I put on my skin, my largest organ, and in my body. Awareness is key.” According to Williams, she began using essential oils to promote the natural health of her horses about 5 years ago. Simultaneously, she began to experiment with essential oils on herself and her husband, as well as their dogs, cats and even their Rose Breasted Cockatoo, Ruby. “Through the course of this experimentation, I realized that my asthma had disappeared, as did my acid reflux. My physician, who is supportive of alternate measures, has since cleared me to discontinue all of the corresponding prescription medications,” she said. The duo is also planning to add a perfume-making class, as well as a succulent garden class, in the near future. Other future

classes will include a Summer Picnic, July 11, with food and drink infusion; Aug. 8, “Back to School Essentials; Sept. 12, Animal Care; Oct.10, Beauty School; Nov. 14, Natural Perfumes; and Dec. 12, a Christmas Party.

accepting vendor applications for crafters and food vendors. Interested participants should contact RACDC at 358-9701 ext. 208 or email

racdcny@gmail.com for further information. Find the vendor applications at www. EnjoyRandolph.org.

They offer a variety of classes in other settings, as well, including home, office, barns, recreation centers, to name a few. Widger said they will customize classes to anyone’s needs whether it be for kids, animals, cleaning products. “We also want to encourage other YL members to further their educations and awareness on how to incorporate the over 600 YL Products into their daily routine. But, YL is more than just beauty products. Known as the world leader in essential oils, our company offers a full-line of baby products, cleaning products, vitamins and supplements, animal products and even some food items,” Widger said. With the exception of a $10 materials fee, the class is free. The Ellicottville Memorial Library, located at 6499 Maples Road. Space is limited, so RSVP by June 10 to reserve a seat. For more information, contact Lisa at (716) 353-1794 or Annie at (716) 378-9419.

Vendors sought for Randolph arts and crafts festival

Preparations are underway for Randolph’s 47th annual Arts & Crafts Festival to be held Saturday, June 15.

It will be held rain or shine — no rain date. Organizers are currently
