Awesome things to do in August By Kellen M. Quigley August is a month full of summertime activities, special events and long days of fun. Whether you like an action-packed day of outdoor adventure, a relaxing evening of live music and tasty desserts or a competitive day on the golf course, Ellicottville has got you covered this August! Fun at Holiday Valley for the Family Open daily throughout the summer, head to Holiday Valley’s Sky High Adventure Park. Sky High is made up of three components: the Aerial Park, the Climbing Forest and the Sky Flyer Mountain Coaster. The Aerial Park, the largest of its kind in New York state and includes 142 platforms, 170 elements and 43 ziplines, with the tallest platform at 68 feet and the longest zip line measuring 350 feet. Those ages five and up can enjoy the Climbing Forest, which is like a 3D version of a rock wall, and only one of three in the country. Each climber is fitted with a harness that is clipped into an Auto Belay system. Once a climber reaches the top of the tree at up to 45 feet, they just let go and the belay system slowly lowers them to the ground. There is also a kids’ area with two trees where the youngest climbers can climb about six feet up and climb back down. The Mountain Coaster takes riders up the hill in their own car and lets them control their own speed on the way back down. Or cool off this summer at Holiday Valley’s three-pool complex, open daily through Labor Day. Splash into a kiddie pool, a lap pool and an activity pool, featuring a diving board and slide, play a variety of poolside games, like giant Jenga or

Prior to the reopening, patrons enjoyed one last day at the “Old Gin Mill” on July 31, located at 20 Washington St., where it was established in 1976. Musician Joe Wagner, a 37-year tradition, dropped the final curtain that evening. The “New Gin Mill” reopened the next day with more musical entertainment.

Ellicottville Town Board hears presentation on solar By Caitlin Croft The July meeting of the Town Board opened with two Public Hearings, one on Consolidated Water No. 1 and the other on Establishment of Extension No. 1 to Consolidated Water District No. 1. There were no members of the public in attendance to speak. In attendance were three candidates running for County Legislature District No. 3, Michael Brisky, Sharon Mathe and Ginger Schroder. Next, was a presentation from Omni Navitas, a company based in Boston, Mass. Joseph Mendelsohn spoke on behalf of the solar company that is proposing a one megawatt solar farm. This is a smaller project for Omni, whose projects are usually 2 to 5 megawatts. This project is proposed to be on Simmons Road backing up to Dooley Road. It will take up 25 acres and will be fenced
and locked. The fencing will be screened in with landscaping and greenery. This project would power 660 homes and would give any National Grid customer in the town the option for Community Solar, which would lower their energy bill. After the 25-year lease the landowner would have the option to renew or have the site decommissioned. Town Supervisor Matthew McAndrew made a motion to form a Solar Committee, which was approved by the board. The committee will be made up of two board members, two to three planning board members, Kelly Fredrickson, Gary Palumbo and Niles Pierson, and they will be charged to research other similar communities and come up with a plan for solar zoning. In McAndrew’s report, he said a portion of CHIPS funding has been reinstated by the state in the amount of $19,025.26. The DRI Grant presentation took place on July 8 and went very well, he said. The results
of the grant will be announced in October or November. McAndrew also thanked Niles Pierson for conducting the Sexual Harassment Training for the Town and Village. In the Police Report, the town hired a new part-time officer, Ronald Smith, of Salamanca. He came highly recommended with a few awards from the police academy. In the Engineering Report, regarding the LED Street Light Conversion project, Pierson has advised that the conversion versus purchasing is the better decision. It will cost $1,000 to $1,200 to convert the lights to LED bulbs and will have a less than one year payback. Purchasing wouldn’t pay back on the project for 12 to 15 years. The board approved the conversion decision. The street sign inventory is on-going by the engineering intern. The Town Center project is 30 percent complete. The lights have all been converted to LED bulbs. The
project should be complete by the end of August. In the Highway Department, the DPW is doing their best to keep up with all of the storm water damage and blockage. There is a lot more storm water than in years past. Shawn Lafferty was named as Interim Deputy Highway Superintendent. In new business, the town board adopted Resolution Creating Extension No. 1 Subject to Permissive Referendum. Under old business, the cemetery work has been completed. The EVGV Trail has been asked to apply for a grant from the Ralph C. Wilson Foundation. Before this happens the foundation wants to see an intermunicipal agreement plan for shared services of a regional trail. The application is due in September. The next meeting of the Town Board will be August 21st at 6 PM at the Town/Village Hall.

Caucrick preps New York stars entering Big 30 game week

Front row (from left): Ryan Gernatt (Gowanda), Nick Crandall (Olean), Adam Sisti (Gowanda), Tim Harris (Southwestern), Tyler Hedlund (Salamanca), Dillon Giboo (Pioneer), Ty Jackson (Wellsville), Ben Mooney (Franklinville/Ellicottville), Nolan Brink (Randolph/ Frewsburg), Zach Helms (Salamanca).

By Sam Wilson Coming out of Clymer Central School a Big Ten-bound football star, Jehuu Caulcrick never played in the Big 30 All-Star Charities Classic. Instead, the Liberian native played in a different cross-state clash: the Governor’s Bowl, between New York and New Jersey, at Rutgers Stadium. So while he doesn’t have firsthand Big 30 experience, the New York coach for Saturday’s Classic can recall some of the feelings his players might have entering the showcase at Bradford, Pa.’s Parkway Field. “That’s something again you’re representing your state and that pride is on the line, so it’s pretty cool,” he said of the Governor’s Bowl. After four years coaching Southwestern, Caulcrick accepted the invitation to coach New York in the 46th annual Big 30 game. “I think it’s a great experience,” Caulcrick said after practice on Monday at Salamanca’s Veterans Memorial Park. “We’re fortunate as a staff from Southwestern to have the opportunity to coach these men. Like I told them, they’ve been playing against each other for the last four years, we’ve been coaching against them and now they have the opportunity to come together and play for one team, the team being the state of New York. So it’s a really cool opportunity, you travel (to) different places, you see different fields other than game days and everything like that.” Franklinville/Ellicottville has three players on the squad. From Franklinville Jake Peters (running back) and Ben Mooney (middle linebacker) are on the squad, while Steven Rowland (middle linebacker/defensive tackle) is on the team from Ellicottville. “After the first day, they started to mesh with each other and understand, so it’s been good,” Caulcrick said of coaching players from various schools in the Southern Tier. “We haven’t had to do many icebreakers or many things like that, they just formed... that’s the beauty of this game of football, it brings people together.” Caulcrick is coaching the New York offense, while Jake Burkholder and
Aaron Emley lead the defense. John Kinder and Mark Arnold are also on staff for the game. Caulcrick said he spent some time in the first week of practice teaching different techniques or terminology for his offense. “From the offensive side, it’s been a little,” Caulrick said, “but it’s coming together now because a lot of these teams, they run different stuff and our offensive line, they’re all from running teams. Our system (at Southwestern), we’re more of a passing team. But they’ve picked it up well, they’ve retained it so it’s been exciting to see. “Different guys have different strengths at different positions. It’s going to be good to see it on Saturday night.” Caulcrick plans to keep his pregame message simple for the New York stars. “The biggest thing is play for each other,” he said. “(For a lot of them), this is their last opportunity to play organized football, so the biggest thing is just play for each other and have fun.” Notes on game day for the 46th edition of the Big 30 All-Star Charities Classic: — Once again, the Big 30 All-Star Charities Classic festivities begin on Saturday, Aug. 3, with the annual parade through downtown Bradford. The parade participants will line up at the Best Western parking lot on Davis Street at 1:30 p.m., with the parade starting at 2:30. The parade commences on Davis Street, then turns down Main Street, then a right turn onto Mechanic Street, then left onto Barbour Street, where the parade will continue to Campus Drive and disperse. A tailgate party starts at 3 p.m. in the Parkway Field parking lot for all who wish to attend before gates open at 5 p.m., pregame activities at 7 and kickoff at 7. No alcoholic beverages are allowed on school property. — Pennsylvania will return to the home sideline by virtue of winning last year’s game. The referees will be from New York, alternating from last year. — Big 30 charities request forms are available by mailing Big 30 Charities Request Forms, P.O.

2nd Kill Buck Community Picnic set for Sunday
By Kellen M. Quigley
The second annual Kill Buck Community Picnic is set for this Sunday, Aug. 4 from noon to 4 p.m. at the Kill Buck Memorial Pavilion off of School Street in the hamlet. After several months of preparations, the organizers are hoping to make this year’s picnic bigger and better than the inaugural event, but just like last year, the event is free and open to all who wish to attend. “This year we got a much earlier start on it… We got about eight good people who are really helping,” said Bob Patterson, chair of the committee who organizes the event. “We’re always looking for volunteers to help with parking, cooking, handing out prizes or something else.” In conjunction with the town of Great Valley, the picnic’s committee has plenty planned for the day, including food, games, live entertainment and plenty of chances to win a prize. Attendees have opportunities to win a grill as a door prize, 40-plus Chinese auction items, various gift certificates and one of the event’s biggest fundraisers, the 50/50 drawing. “We’d like to beat last year, which was about $1,530,” Patterson said of
the 50/50 expectation. The big project the committee is hoping to get a start on this fall is renovating and reviving the old baseball field near the pavilion. “There’s a need in the area for more ballfields. I’d like to get a ballfield going there again — a nice one,” he said. “It’s all through the town of Great Valley. They’ll have the final sayso about what’s going on.” Although the field and backstop are there, Patterson said they hope to finalize plans and get a base for the infield ready this fall. Meanwhile, the committee is asking for help finding photos of the old stadium and of games played there from when the nearby school was still open. “Somebody had to have been taking pictures of it back then,” Patterson said. Today, the pavilion and park are in great shape, Patterson added, and the town has been helpful in preparing the site for the event as well as supporting it financially and with volunteers from the board, two of whom are on the committee. The day’s picnic lunch will include hot dogs, corn on the cob, sides and bottled water. Patterson said attendees are welcome to bring their own nonalcoholic beverages. Treats include cotton candy,
popcorn, suckers and freeze pops. “There’s going to be a water fight with the barrel on the cable between the two fire districts in the town of Great Valley,” Patterson said. District No. 1 is Kill Buck and District No. 2 is from the hamlet of Great Valley. “There will be demonstrations and kids will be able to sit in the fire trucks and take pictures.” Sally Marsh will be back with her sound system, providing live entertainment and singalongs, as well as some contests for the kids, Patterson said. “She’s very good with the kids,” he said. “We’ll probably have stuff like a twist contest and a limbo contest and we’ll have prizes for them.” Other things returning from last year for the kids are the bounce house and an 18foot water slide. Last year, the inaugural event, which was part of the Great Valley Bicentennial celebrations, had between 200 and 250 attendees, Patterson said. This year, he’s hoping to surpass 250 and get close to 300 people stopping by to visit with friends and neighbors, new and old alike. To help support the event or to volunteer the day of, call Patterson at 727-7420546, or the Great Valley Town Hall at 945-4200.

Ellicottville library’s young readers make space puppets
By Amanda Grabowski
An afternoon spent making “space puppets” rounded out a fourweek series of summer reading workshops at the Ellicottville Memorial Library led by Kate Benatovich, otherwise known as Mrs. B., and sponsored by the Rotary Club. “This year’s theme was a ‘Universe of Stories,’ and what a wondrous universe we have,” she said. The program explored universal design, being universally accepted and universal stories. “Space puppets opened us up to the idea of life other than our own out in the universe,” said Mrs. B. The children used recycled materials, reminding them to reduce, reuse and recycle.
Photo by Amanda Grabowski Young readers at the summer reading workshop at the Ellicottville Memorial Library use recycled materials to make space puppets last week.
“Upcycling to art projects like space puppets was also fun,” said Ava Flanigan of the Ellicottville library. “Mrs. B always brings treasures for us to create fun and exciting projects.” Mrs. B and Mrs. Flanigan celebrate 10 years of collaborating on interesting summer programs for young
readers and writers. The Rotary Club supplies materials and snacks for the workshops. Oher summer programs this year included a lesson in corn husk doll making from Bernadette Scott with an emphasis on the need to be kind and a lesson on journal making and bookbinding from Janna Willoughby.

Obituaries
Thomas J. Dankert, 63, of Otto, passed away Saturday (July 27, 2019) at his home, on the farm that he loved in Otto, with his wife, Patricia Watson, by his side. Tom was born on July 28, 1955, to Ernest and Dora Dahlke Dankert and was a proud graduate of Cornell University, where he participated in the dairy cattle judging team and earned a bachelor of science degree in agriculture. Tom began working on the family dairy farm at the age of 10, which he continued to manage with Pat as “T-P Acres,” following their marriage on July 30, 1983. With much love and hard work, T-P Acres at one time registered the highest Holstein cattle herd average for Cattaraugus County and the highest Guernsey herd average for all of New York state. Tom was successful in breeding, raising and

In addition to full-time management of T-P Acres, Tom had a distinguished 35-year career working for the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Office of Rural Development.

Summer Homeowners looking to add more space to their homes do not necessarily need to make major renovations. They simply have to see the possibilities in outdoor living spaces. Outdoor living spaces are coveted niches in a home. The American Home Furnishings Alliance says more than 70 percent of American households have outdoor living spaces, and nearly 70 percent of people use these spaces at least once per week in-season. Furthermore, homeowners are increasingly interested in enhancing these spaces to make them more usable and comfortable. A recent survey from the online home
Expand living spaces with clever ideas
design and remodeling resource Houzz found that more than 4,500 users were planning a landscape update. In addition, 56 percent of homeowners surveyed were making updates to improve their yards for entertaining. While the creation of outdoor living spaces can cost thousands of dollars depending on the renovation, homeowners have more budget-friendly options at their disposal as well. The following are some ways to create inviting spaces no matter how much square-footage is present. Revamp a garage or shed Rather than turning a storage area into a catch-all for items
Whether there’s a ledge, overhang, small terrace, or porch off the house, turn it into a relaxing area for reading a book or sipping a beverage. Use a few outdoor pillows, pull up a small folding table and dress the area with hanging lights and potted plants for a quiet retreat.
time forgot, clean out the space and put it to better use. For instance, kids may appreciate their own clubhouse away from the main living area. These spaces also can be handy bonus rooms for when Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate

material that obscures neighbors’ views without blocking out natural light. Invest in outdoor sofas and chaises to create an outdoor living room right on the porch. If your budget allows, consider closing in the porch as a true threeseason room so it can be used throughout fall, spring and summer. Outdoor living spaces are booming and highly achieveable, and many such spaces need not be expensive.
Add privacy to a porch If it’s privacy you covet, install curtain rods and hang lightweight mesh or another translucent

By Kim Duke Consistent exercise is only part of the successful core-training equation: you must combine training with healthy nutrition to achieve a strong and healthy body. For best results, it is vital to fuel properly. The old adage that you are what you eat applies quite literally to your physique. Here are some tips I have found are very helpful to my clients as they transition their food choices. #1: Eat — Don’t skip meals; otherwise, you’ll become too hungry, eat too fast and ultimately eat too
www.EllicottvilleTimes.com

HEALTH & FITNESS: NOURISHING YOUR CORE
much. #2: Do not skip carbs — Carbohydrates can be simple, complex or fibrous. Simple carbs such as fruit are broken down quickly by the body and provide short bursts of energy. Complex carbs like oatmeal are slower to break down and fibrous carbs like broccoli and asparagus aid digestion and provide fiber, which assists in the removal of waste from the body. #3: Avoid inflammatory foods — Inflammation triggers belly fat storage and is an underlying factor in many disease states. Avoid refined carbohydrates, dairy,
foods rich in saturated fats and trans fats and highly processed foods. All of these foods can promote inflammation. #4: Protein — Consume at least one gram of protein per pound of your body weight from lean sources. Think lean beef, white-meat poultry, fish or eggs. #5: Eat more produce — Fresh vegetables and fruits are key to good nutrition. They’re loaded with filling fiber and packed full of disease-fighting antioxidants. They’re also low in calories. #6: Eat at least one good source of healthy fat every
day — Monounsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids help to fight both belly fat and inflammation. These fats are essential to maintaining desirable body weight as well as preventing disease. Good fats are found in olives and avocados. Omega-3s can be found in walnuts, flax seeds and salmon, to name a few. #7: Stay hydrated — Hydration helps keep your energy level up, fills you up to help you reduce your portions at meals and snacks and helps your metabolism function at its peak. So drink up! #8: Stay active — Even
if you don’t have a regular exercise routine, get a pedometer and make sure you get in a minimum of 10,000 steps every single day. Maintaining your weight loss is all about balance. I tell my clients to follow the 80/20 rule. Focus 80 percent of the time on eating healthy, belly-friendly foods that shrink the waistline and fight inflammation. Then 20 percent of the time, you have room to veer off track a bit. This 20 percent is your splurge. You may choose to have one day a week where you have a splurge meal, or you may
opt for a small snack twice a week where you don’t exactly make the healthiest choice. What you choose to eat is up to you. Keep in mind one bad day doesn’t spell disaster for your hard work and set goals. Each day presents a clean slate for you to make healthier choices and redirect your fitness ship. Being healthy, eating healthy is a lifestyle, not a fad. If you want it bad enough, you will find the determination and fortitude to attain it.

Her father is Khalid bin Mohammed, the much-maligned crown prince of Saudi Arabia. Once celebrated for his daring social and religious reforms, he is now reviled for his role in the murder of a dissident journalist. And when his only child is brutally kidnapped, he turns to the one man he can trust to find her before it is too late. Filled with dark humor, breathtaking twists of plot and an unforgettable cast of characters, “The New Girl” is both a thrilling, page-turning tale of entertainment and a sophisticated study of political alliances and great-power rivalries in a dangerous world. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library.

DJ’s Restaurant, A Touch of Ellicottville and Bike and Bean — respectively located at 26, 28 and 30 Washington St. Maribeth said the plan for moving the bar to the new location has been ongoing for four to five years. She said ground was broken on the renovations on the main level in the spring of 2018. The transformation of the complex required gutting the three former storefronts. Maribeth said the process began by completely tearing out the floor and digging a basement below the corner building. After that, they were able to completely reinforce the foundation of the building by pouring a concrete support in this new area. According to Maribeth, the entire front face of the buildings was removed and replaced with a more period-correct façade and all new windows. All three storefronts are now connected through the interior. By re-opening an 18-foot portion of the brick wall that originally separated the two storefronts, they were able to connect two of the spaces together. She said they were able to reuse these bricks for much of the additional brickwork that needed to be restored and reconstructed. The third storefront was also connected and reopened with another doorway, which had been sealed up for many years. Patrons can expect the same hours with breakfast, lunch and dinner served. It will be open seven days a week, from 7 a.m. all the way through last call at 2 a.m. The Gin Mill Mercantile is open at 22 Washington St. During the first day at the new location, Aug. 1, Nick Kody entertained at 2 p.m. followed by Wagner & Winston at 8 p.m. Eight different music acts will entertain the crowd during the Grand Reopening Celebration this weekend.

Photo submitted High Horse is coming to Ellicottville for the Aug. 8 installment of the Gazebo series with a performance of classic rock from Niagara Falls
We are pleased to announce that High Horse is coming to Ellicottville for the Aug. 8 installment of the Gazebo Series. High Horse is a dynamic band that combines the best elements of classic rock, pop and jam from seasoned veterans of the Western New York music scene. Original music that ranges from unadulterated heavy rock to intricate jazzy pop and anywhere in between. High Horse also performs a diverse list of cover music. However, do not expect jukebox-like recreations. This band puts their own spin on classic
jams, with the emphasis on jam. This is the final week for the Gazebo Series, so you won’t want to miss it! This year’s Gazebo Series is brought to you by CCSE Federal Credit Union in Ellicottville and the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce. Don’t forget to bring your lawn chairs and picnic baskets to enjoy an evening at the Gazebo concert series! The Chamber would like to thank The Boomers for their performance on Aug. 1 and all those who made it out for a night of good tunes.
