All of the venues are easily accessible and are within an easy walking distance of each other.

“Blues in the Night,” “Come Rain or Come Shine,” “Over the Rainbow,” “Stormy Weather” and “That Old Black Magic” are just some of the classic songs featured in this cabaret orchestrated specifically for the Premier Cabaret space.

Big City Horns is well-known in the region as a top special events band. They are a nine-piece powerhouse band with outstanding vocals, musicianship and choreography.

Mystery of Ellicottville family history solved 170 years later

By Deb Everts

Nearly 170 years after his death, the headstone of little George H. Bryant of Ellicottville now sits alongside that of his parents and siblings in Sugartown Cemetery.

Had it not been for Dawn Westfall, president of the Ellicottville Historical Society, the brief existence of the toddler might have been lost forever.

George’s mysterious headstone came to light about five years ago when Westfall, an experienced genealogist, took the helm at the historical society.

Soon after, town historian Mary Elizabeth Dunbar told her about the grave marker in her garage that was brought to her

by a good samaritan some time ago. The inscription clearly reads: “Geo. H. Bryant; Son of Sheldon & Ruth Bryant; Died Nov. 14, 1849; At 2 yrs 8 months.”

According to Westfall, Dunbar told her that she thought somebody found the stone on the side of a hill by a creek on Bryant Hill. When they picked it up and realized it had writing on it, they brought it to the town historian. Dunbar started to research it, but time got away from her and it remained in her garage.

Westfall said to Dunbar, “We need to do something about this.”

Before Westfall began any solid research on George and where his headstone belonged, she continued doing research

Photo submitted After five years of research by Dawn Westfall, president of the Ellicottville Historical Society, the headstone of little George Bryant from Ellicottville is finally in its rightful place with his parents and siblings at Sugartown Cemetery.

on an old Victorian album that was part of the museum inventory.

“I was trying to figure out who originally owned the album,” she said. “In the back, I discovered the photo of an older woman named Amanda Beecher who, I concluded, was probably the owner of the album.”

Westfall said she took a break from her computer and went outside to check her mail.

When she got to the end of her driveway and started back, it suddenly hit her that Amanda once lived on Sugartown Road.

As village court is dissolved in Ellicottville, town courts will add to judicial duties

By Rick Miller After July 31, the Ellicottville Village courtroom in the Town Hall at Washington and Jefferson streets will close its doors for the last time.

Next month, violations and infractions recorded in the village of just under 400 residents will be heard in Ellicottville Town Court at the Town Center at Fillmore and Parkside drives.

The Ellicottville Village Board voted last year to dissolve the village court, which was approved in a permissive referendum.

Longtime Village Judge Jack Rogan, who has served 43 years in the judicial post, did not run for re-election.

“Jack really has done a great job for the village, especially in looking out for kids,” said Mayor John Burrell.

The Ellicottville Village Board was driving the process, Burrell said. In dissolving the court, the board had expected to end court by the end of its fiscal year, May 31. When that did not happen, Town Justice John Karassik, a village resident, was named acting village judge until the formal takeover July 31.

The other town judge is Andrew Stokes. Town Court is held on the second Monday and second Thursday.

There are 35 justice courts in Cattaraugus

County, Burrell said.

Most of them cost more in municipal taxes than they return, he added. The village of Ellicottville was no exception.

Burrell said the court clerk will continue to work for the village in a different capacity. Meanwhile, the town court clerk, who serves both judges, will see some extra work, as will the judges.

In addition, Burrell noted, village residents pay about 21% of the town’s general fund, which includes the courts.

Village residents will continue to pay that portion of the town’s court system, but will no longer be paying for the village court.

Burrell said the town courts are more likely to be closer to the break-even point when village violations are added to the court docket.

“The two judges will be a little busier,” he

said, adding, “I’ve been a proponent of looking at regional courts.” He envisions a regional court for the towns of Ellicottville, Mansfield and Franklinville.

“You have to do these things when you can,” Burrell said. “It all came about as we talked about it.

I’m glad it worked out.”

Supervisor Matthew McAndrew said, with the village dissolving its court, “we really didn’t have any choice but to take it over.”

McAndrew said the village will save money, but it’s not clear whether the town will as well.

“It will be more of a burden on the town,” he said. “The downside is that there will be more work for our clerk. Until we get a full year under our belt, we won’t know about revenue.

The number of cases goes up and down.”

“When I realized that, I pinpointed her former location on the map. It was kind of a breakthrough for me because I’d been trying to track her down and it’d been hard to figure out what happened to her,” she said. “I found her obituary saying she is buried in Sugartown, too. She just doesn’t have a headstone.”

The pieces of the “headstone puzzle” began to come together when Westfall discovered that Amanda’s maiden name was Bryant and she was little George’s older sister. This inspired her to dig deeper into the family’s history.

SHE DISCOVERED George’s parents, Sheldon and Ruth Bryant, once lived on Bryant Hill in Ellicottville, but later moved to Great Valley and lived on Sugartown Road. She pinpointed their property and possibly other original family residences along Sugartown Road “If somebody goes to research the family, it has Sheldon and Ruth and it has the four kids, but it doesn’t include George because he’s been lost,” she said. “Other than the inscription on his headstone, he’s not on any other record, so he’s lucky we found him.

Ruth’s obituary says there were five children, but his name wasn’t mentioned. There was no census showing him because he was born in 1847 and died before the 1850 census. The only other place he might possibly be found is a family Bible record,

but I’ve found nothing.”

After researching the obituaries of the family members, Westfall concluded that George fits into the family.

She said he was likely buried somewhere up on Bryant Hill — maybe in the Bryant Hill Cemetery, but she’s not 100-percent sure. She said the family moved off the hill a few years after George’s death and got farmland on Sugartown Road, so George was kind of forgotten about.

According to paintedhills.org and e-familyhistory.com, Sheldon and Ruth moved to Great Valley in 1852. Westfall said they had four other children, Amanda, Mary, Nancy and Franklin who all lived into adulthood and most are buried Sugartown Cemetery. She said one daughter, Nancy, is buried in the Jefferson Street Cemetery in Ellicottville.

“So, we [Westfall and Dunbar] debated about what to do with George’s stone. Do we take it back up to Bryant Hill? Was it in that cemetery, or was it on their family property?” she said. “We can’t prove that George was ever buried in Bryant Hill.”

According to Westfall, her gut instinct told her to put the headstone in Sugartown Cemetery.

Since George’s parents, Sheldon and Ruth, and several of his siblings are buried in that cemetery, it made sense.

“If I had found a cemetery transcription of George’s headstone in Bryant Hill Cemetery confirming that he was

buried there I would have put him back there, but I didn’t have anything saying that,” she said. “The fact that there is no record stating that he was buried there made me more comfortable with putting George with the rest of the family. I kind of felt like they [the family] wanted me to put his headstone with the rest of them.”

Westfall said she was hoping to have the headstone set in the Sugartown Cemetery last year as part of the Town of Great Valley’s Bicentennial Celebration, but she had to first get permission from town supervisor Dan Brown. By the time everything was in place for the stone to be set, it was too late and the work had to be postponed until 2019 Crandall’s Memorial finally set the headstone on June 14.

“I went back to the cemetery that evening to check on the headstone,” she said.

“Being sentimental, I picked some wild roses that were in bloom in the back of the cemetery and placed them on George’s grave saying, ‘Here you go. The deed is done.’

“George is finally with his family. I know it’s only a stone because nobody exhumed any bodies, but I feel it was the end of a long-term project that maybe I had some nudging from his deceased family members asking me to get it done for them.

Now, when somebody is researching that family, they’ll find George — where he belongs.”

Gonnella-Selbert wedding announced

‘Aunt Dimity & the Heart of Gold’

by Nancy Atherton

Press photo by Sam Wilson Olean’s Jason Brooks (right) defends against a shot from Ellicottville’s Clayton Rowland (22) during a Cattaraugus County Boys Basketball Summer League game on Wednesday in Randolph.

Emma Harris is having her annual Christmas bash when the winter weather takes a turn for the worse and the guests agree that everyone should stay until morning.

There’s general merriment as the Christmas party becomes a pajama party until a car appears in the winding driveway and promptly slides off the slick pavement and into a ditch.

Matilda “Tilly” Trout, a lost, middle-aged woman, is unhurt and invited to stay the night. While she catches her breath, Emma asks her other guests if they would like a tour of the Manor, including an odd room that puzzles her. Several guests put forth guesses as to its purpose, but it’s Tilly who correctly identifies the room as a chapel.

Placing a palm on one of the ornately-carved panels, Tilly finds a hidden compartment concealing a pile of glittering treasure. Where did it come from, and why does it look so different from everything else in the chapel? Why didn’t Emma even know about this hidden compartment in her own home until now, and how did Tilly? With Aunt Dimity’s otherworldly help and Tilly’s bewildering store of knowledge, the friends set out to unravel the mystery behind the heart of gold.

This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. It is also available as a large print book or as an audio book using our interlibrary loan program. Don’t forget, you can access over 17,000 eBooks and eAudiobooks using your library card!

HEALTH & FITNESS: EMBRACE THE CHALLENGE!

and healthier through diet and exercise. The programs I created were not only to help them look better but also served as lifelong formulas to maximize performance and help maintain a higher quality of life.

Most people understand that they need cardio to burn fat and calories.

What they don’t get is why they need to lift weights.

Simply stated: You can’t move weight unless you lift weight. This is where Strength Training and Resistance Training come into play.

Resistance training/ strength training/weight lifting increases muscular strength and endurance,

By Kim Duke You’ve had it! You’re tired of feeling like crud every day, and you are determined to get into shape — mentally and physically.

Chances are something has happened in your life that has put you into this state of readiness. Maybe you just got back from shopping excursion that ended empty-handed because nothing fits, or the doctor has lectured you about your weight, blood pressure, cholesterol levels and blood sugar.

Or perhaps you’ve watched the transformation of a friend/family member who changes their unhealthy ways and has lost not only pounds but also the bad diet and habits that kept them from being healthy and fit.

Over the past two decades, I have been fortunate enough to have helped people from all fitness levels to become fitter

boosts energy, improves balance and flexibility and maintains or even builds bone density. It also powers up your metabolism, transforming your muscles into power fat burners.

Weight training can burn from 250-400 calories in a 45-minute session plus keep your metabolism revving for at least an hour after training has stopped. Lifting weights will also firm and reshape your body, allowing you to fit into smaller sizes as it optimizes your body composition.

So if you really want to transform your body, you have to add weight training. Instead of allowing inactivity and gravity to take over, lose the body-fat

and gain muscle and tone from head to toe. The more muscle you build the smaller you will look, especially if you are a woman. That’s because fat takes up much more space — actually, five times more space.

In fact, when you train with weights, you actually use stored body fat to fuel the growth of your muscles.

However, you can help this process by fueling your body with proper nutrients and getting adequate rest.

If you’re a beginner to strength training, consulting with a certified fitness trainer would be the best place to safely developing a program that is right for you. If you are a novice and just need direction and a community

of encouragement, join a fitness class that utilizes weight training to achieve their goals.

Group fitness classes can be a super way to become familiar and comfortable with strength training. A good instructor will always

keep their eyes open to form flaws and offer cues to assist you during class. Plus, there are always other participants in the class who have been where you are, and are ready and willing to encourage and assist you in achieving your goals.

July 26 - August 1, 2019

Summer Many homeowners enjoy the convenience and recreational value of having a pool in their backyards. Pools can be a great spot to gather on warm days, often serving as the centerpiece of summer recreation.

Pools require substantial upkeep to function properly and be safe for swimming. The right combination of factors are needed to maintain a proper water balance to prevent skin and eye irritation as well as to ensure the water is clean. Sanitizers play a significant role in ensuring that safety.

Various sanitizers are on the market, although people are most familiar with chlorine-based sanitizers. The goal of a sanitizer is to prevent the growth of bacteria and algae in pool water.

Sanitizers also will inhibit the growth of viruses and other organic contaminants.

First-time homeowners who have never had a pool may find it challenging to choose a sanitizer that will work for them. Each sanitizer has its share of pros and cons, but many homeowners hope to find one that is both costeffective and convenient.

Get the scoop on pool sanitizers

The following are some of the sanitizers to consider. · Liquid chlorine: Sodium hypochlorite, also known as bleach, is a common pool sanitizer.

Liquid chlorine does not have any additives and will not affect pool water in any other way except for providing sanitation. Liquid chlorine can be cumbersome to

store and splashing the product while adding it to the water can damage clothing. · Cal-hypo: Calcium hypochlorite is another sanitizing option for pools. It is usually sold in granular form because pucks or sticks will break down too quickly in chlorine feeders. Cal-hypo is often an unstabilized

form of chlorine, which means it does not have a stabilizing chemical mixed with it to prevent chlorine burn-off from the sun.

Depending on your needs, unstabilized chlorine can be an asset or a detriment. · Dichlor and trichlor: Dichloro-s-triazinetrione and trichloro-striazinetrione are two different stabilized chlorine sources. They are mixed with a substance called cyanuric acid, which helps prevent the quick usage of chlorine in outdoor pools. Sunlight can reduce the efficacy of chlorine, and this stabilizer will help buffer that effect. Since these chlorine sources typically come in pucks or tablets, they can be placed in feeders and will deliver consistent chlorine without daily maintenance. Trichlor has one of the highest levels of available chlorine of all pool sanitizers. However, one disadvantage is that if

the stabilizer levels build up too much in the pool, you will require even more chlorine to combat this effect, sometimes creating a cycle of chlorine ineffectiveness. · Salt: Salt-cell pools use a process of electrolysis to extract chlorine from the salt added to the specialized equipment, thus sanitizing the pool automatically.

Some people prefer salt because it seems more natural and requires less maintenance. · Bromine: Bromine is similar to chlorine.

While the byproducts of chlorine do not benefit pool water, bromine byproducts can continue to sanitize the water, making it last longer than chlorine. Bromine can be more expensive than chlorine, which might deter homeowners looking for the most cost-effective pool sanitizer.

Pool water chemistry can be a complex process.

But homeowners have many options at their disposal when it comes time to choose the right sanitizer.

It’s a nearly-scientific fact that you can solve most any problem by putting dirt on it. Scraped knee? Dirt.

Embarrassing bald spot? Dirt. Nagging mother-in-law? Dirt. Lots of it. Juuust kidding. The point is, when people need a little more excitement in life, they probably just need to add a little dirt. And that’s where KIOTI tractors come in.

Intuitively designed to dominate the dirt, these machines make it an easy decision for anyone also inclined to favor the filthy.

Making heads and tails of the Cattaraugus County Fair

By Louisa Benatovich

There is always a certain feeling in the air the morning of the show—a mixture of excitement, nervousness and the unmistakable smell of pure animal. It has been this way since the creation of the Cattaraugus County Fair almost 177 years ago and will be this way until the end of time.

As animal-owners of all ages ready their prized charges for the day’s competition, the bleariness of a 6 a.m. wake-up time is quickly forgotten as manes are braided and hides hosed down.

With flora and fauna of all shapes, sizes and species being presented before esteemed judges, the Fair is a tremendous amount of work at every step.

Horses, one of the biggest animals shown at the event, require a special amount of care and expertise. Erin Washburn, a recent graduate of Cattaraugus-Little Valley and lifelong equestrian, has come to know the procedure by heart.

For her, the whole process of readying her ride, waiting and competing can take anywhere from 12 to 20 hours. For many riders, showing at the fair is a several-day commitment, but it is, truly, a labor of love.

“I started riding as a young child and started showing as soon as possible,” Washburn said.

“My horse has been with me through thick and thin, and in all honesty, I love him more than I care for most people. He is my best friend, and I cannot imagine my life without him in it.”

Washburn said she loves horses because they are honest, proud, graceful, kind and humble, but they’re also not afraid to sneeze on you and trip over their own feet.

“I think a lot of kids see that and it helps bring them back to reality a little bit,” she added.

Despite Washburn’s deep bond with her horse, the stress of showing, especially in the equine department, is sometimes too much to bear.

“We strive to achieve perfection,” she said, simply.

“Every drop of sweat, every tear, every ache and pain, every late night and early morning are all in the pursuit of perfection. We have this picture in our minds of what perfect equitation looks like — how big a certain breed’s stride should be, where they should hold their heads, the length of our reins, the sparkle on our saddles and the muscle tone in their rumps.”

When showing, Washburn said they spend every moment of their time trying to get as close as possible to perfection, and when they step into that arena, it is a game of finding out who is the least wrong.

“We are looking to complete strangers for affirmation of our abilities as riders, and it’s very easy to get lost in that, especially as a young person competing,” she said.

Showing presents a whole new set of challenges when a year’s worth of hard work culminates in having to say goodbye.

(a pig) to the fair. Both market animals, they will be shown during the week and auctioned off to the highest bidder after judging.

“These animals will normally be bought for consumption, which is the cause for lots of tears Sunday morning,” Eddy said. “Other exhibitors will be taking their dairy cows, dairy goats, bunnies and even breeding hogs, which they will show and then bring back home.”

For both women, the Cattaraugus County 4-H has played a role in getting them to where they are today.

“4-H does wonders for kids,” Eddy said. “Over the past five years that I have been involved, I have gained responsibility, respect and lots of other skills that not only help me with my animals but help everywhere. I truly wouldn’t be the person I am without

it.”

“It’s no secret horses are expensive,” adds Washburn, “but 4-H takes away some of that cost, and in doing so, allows kids to experiment with their chosen discipline.

“Without 4-H, I don’t believe I ever would’ve branched out,” she continued. “Now, I go to many different show circuits and I can always find someone who rides 4-H, had a sibling in it or recognizes my face from pictures shared on our social media.”

From July 29 to Aug. 4, Eddy, Washburn and dozens of other 4-H-ers, past and present, will be showing months of hard work and determination in front of people just as passionate as they are. It isn’t hard to see why this rural tradition has lasted over 150 years and is sure to continue for years to come.

8th annual Springville Fiddle Fest ready for Saturday

By Kellen M. Quigley

26 Monroe St. Ellicottville 716-699-2128

Open Daily 10am to 6pm Fri. & Sat. 10am to 8pm Online Store Gado-Gado.shoptiques.com

www.gadogadoellicottville.com

The Springville Fiddler’s Green Country & Bluegrass Festival returns to the village Saturday, July 27 for music lovers from all over the region to enjoy a mix of music from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Sponsored by the Concord Historical Society, the festival will feature a dozen bands, clogging, jam sessions, music lessons, historic demonstrations, an antique car cruise-in, crafters and merchants, food, raffles and more.

A special presentation is happening this year at 1:30 p.m. when the Spirit of Spring Brook, a kinetic wind sculpture by local artist Tim Hare, will be officially presented to the residents of Springville at Heritage Park.

There will be continuous music all day at a number of different venues including Fiddler’s Green Park, Heritage Park and Concord Mercantile General Store. For more musical entertainment, stop by the Jam Tent and The Trading Post.

Chairperson Debbie Hintz said many of the musicians/ bands are local, but some are from Angola, Cattaraugus, Buffalo, Wilson and Williamsville.

“There will be a banjo raffle and another raffle for 20 different items from local vendors and supporters of the Fiddle Fest,” she said.

Don’t miss the cloggers from the Western New York Clogging Association in action at historic Goddard Hall.

“They’re going to have

their workshops, but they’re also doing a special one in the afternoon for anyone from the public who would like to come in and try it,” Hintz said. “They love to be able to come out here to the Goddard town hall because of the wooden floor. … It’s one of their highlights of the year.”

For a little bit of history, Hintz suggested stopping by the post office to see a painting on the wall from the WPA era that Fiddle Fest uses on its posters and flyers.

The Springville Center for the Arts will be joining the fun this year. Earlier in the week, the SCA has been out placing fiddles with a stencil on some of the sidewalk blocks.

The Springville Volunteer Fire Company will also be open for families to stop in and have an antique firetruck parked out front.

“They had not been open in the past for this event, so they’ve been able to make some great connections and get more of the community involved,” Hintz said.

The festival activities go beyond musical entertainment. A number of demonstrators will be onsite to show off their crafts including Star Spangled Banner Flag History, a Colonial encampment, Ducky Derby, wool spinning, spoon making, butter churning, blacksmithing, an 18th century encampment, lace making, calligraphy, flint and steel fire starting and flintlock gun building.

Be sure to check out the unique crafters and

merchants located along the paved trail in Heritage Park.

Weather permitting, Herbert Koch’s Radio Flyer will be just one of the amazing vehicles at the Heritage Park venue.

“It’s driveable. (Koch) drives it right down the road, but it looks just like a regular Flyer wagon,” Hintz said. “ No festival is complete without the food. Hungry people can grab a bite to eat at food vendors including Franklin’s Honey and Apple Stand, House of Munch, Jake & the Fatman BBQ, The Trading Post, Wendel’s Chicken BBQ and Coldstone Cruiser. If anyone prefers to eat downtown, they can dine at one of Springville Fiddle Fest’s featured local restaurants on historic Main Street.

“The committee has done a great job,” Hintz said. She said without the support from the community, vendors, musicians and sponsors, the event wouldn’t be possible.

“It’s wonderful for the community because we need to keep the organizations working togther and keep the community coming out, seeing each other and supporting each other as a community, celebrating each other’s talents,” she said.

“It’s been a great system of support and just one more reminder of community.”
