Second Quarter Activity in Ellicottville New Restaurant, Expansions, Events and Projects
By Jann Wiswall
Small changes can make a big impact in a place like Ellicottville, so if you haven’t been here in a few months, take note!
There’s been a lot of activity along the village streets this spring. While we’re saying goodbye to the Holiday Shoppe on Washington Street, there’s good news to go along with its departure. Dina’s restaurant is expanding into its space, adding more dining and bar space and a private dining room. Both Hoagie’s on Monroe Street and the Burger King near Holiday Valley have closed and new tenants have not yet been announced, but everyone is eagerly awaiting the opening of the Armor Inn in the Village Center behind the Kwik Fill at Washington and Mill streets. The Hamburg-based barbeque and blues restaurant plans to open this new location by fall. Meanwhile, two of Ellicottville’s most popular watering holes — Balloons and Madigan’s — See Spring Change page 12
Americana Folk Art Fair July 19–21 Art, Lawnmower Racing, Music, Quilt Show, Great Food Free Set-Up for Artists
By Jann Wiswall
Every year, Bob McCarthy, a lifelong Ellicottville resident, retired teacher and talented craftsperson, organizes what, to many, is one of Ellicottville’s most laid-back art festivals. This year, the Americana Folk Art Fair kicks off on Friday evening, July 19 at the Town Center, and runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both Saturday, July 20 and Sunday, July 21 on the grounds of the Ellicottville Village/Town Hall at the intersection of Washington and Jefferson streets. McCarthy came up with the fair idea more than a dozen years ago as a way to raise funds to buy a new furnace for the Ellicottville Historical Society’s museum. That goal was reached in short order that year, so he decided to hold it See Folk Art Fair page 13
Pumpkinville Rolls Out New Attractions
Pedal Car Track, Professional Corn Maze and New Food Service Building
By Alicia Dziak
While summer has only just begun, fall is right behind the corner. To many, Pumpkinville is synonymous with fall in the Enchanted Mountains.
Pumpkinville, located at 4844 Sugartown Rd. in Great Valley, has been owned by Dan and Diane Pawlowski for the past 18 years. Both of their children help out, as well, making it a true family business. And it’s clear that they carry this family focus into their business. “It’s our goal to create great family memories without
breaking the bank,” said Dan. While most of us are gearing up for long, lazy days at the beach, the folks at Pumpkinville are getting ready for their busy season come September and October. “We work hard all year long to get ready for fall,” said Dan. See Pumkinville page 5
Renowned Painter Michael Israel in EVL Aug. 2 Performance Art Fundraiser for Local Ski Patrols By Eva Potter
On Aug. 2, internationally sought performance artist Michael Israel is bringing his heart-pounding, action-packed live show, “Art of Rescue,” to Ellicottville Brewing Company (EBC). This unique art event will raise much-needed funding for the Holiday Valley
and HoliMont Ski Patrols, both of which belong to the Eastern Division of the National Ski Patrol. According to organizers, sponsorship and underwriting assistance are needed. Individuals or groups are encouraged to request See Michael Israel, page 12

Alan Brown Concert to Benefit WNY Heroes On Saturday, July 19, St. Paul’s Lutheran Church will host a concert at 7 p.m. to benefit WNY Heroes as a memorial to Alan Brown. As you may remember, Alan was an Afghanistan War veteran that took his own life on May 10, 2014. The family has given their blessing to this outreach/fundraising project. This concert is free and open to the public, but a freewill offering and monetary
donations will be taken during the concert. The Christian band, The Jeff Horth Project, will be performing. The band is from the Little Valley area and has a couple CDs to their credit. You can check out WNYheroes.org online to get an idea of all the good they do for western New York. At the time of Alan’s death, his family requested that WNY Heroes be the recipient of any memorials.
Chris Kreiger, co-founder of WNY Heroes, will be speaking to the St. Paul’s congregation a week before the concert, as well as the night of the concert, to share information and insights about the organization and the benefits they provide to WNY veterans. St. Paul’s is located at 6360 Route 242 in Ellicottville. For more information, call (716) 699-2265.

Gloom Turns to Celebration 3rd Annual Eddie Szpaicher Golf Classic July 16
Edmund Szpaicher, known to so many as, “Eddie,” left us on a cold January day in 2012. An incredible gloom took hold of our small, close-knit town that winter. However, after the tears were shed and the winter turned to spring, a dear friend of Eddie’s, Jay Stoddard, decided it was time to stop mourning Eddie and instead to celebrate the man we all loved. That is when the Eddie Szpaicher Memorial Golf Classic was created. Eddie was passionate about golf and about his family and friends. So what a better way to memorialize him then with a fun-filled weekend of golf, laughter, great food and cold drinks! This golf tournament not only keeps Eddie’s personality and spirit alive, it is also a
vehicle with which to give back to the community he adored. All net proceeds from this event go directly to the Eddie Szpaicher Scholarship Fund. This financial award was designed for two welldeserving, college-bound students from Ellicottville Central School. The students qualify by carrying a GPA of 90 or above and playing two varsity sports. As applicants for this scholarship, the students are asked to have performed community service and to have at least two letters of recommendation. As Mila Clauss, one of Eddie’s daughters, stated, “To apply at that age, shows these students are clearly invested in their future.” The scholarship is awarded at graduation as a surprise and is typically a substantial monetary amount that is designed to give these worthy students the extra money they will more than likely need for their upcoming journey. New this year, a Facebook page about the annual golf tourney has been created to keep friends, participants and sponsors informed. You
can easily find it and like it by typing in Eddie Szpaicher Golf Classic. Also, the entire tournament will take place at Holiday Valley, starting with early registration on Tuesday, July 15 at the Holiday Valley Cabana Bar. Each registrant will receive a drink coupon and hors d’oeuvres will be available. The first 50 registrants will also receive a gift. That evening, a Putting Contest and Closest to the Pin Contest will be a part of the pre-golf day festivities. The main event is Wednesday, July 16 with shotgun start at 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. The day will end with cocktails at the Cabana bar at 6 p.m. and dinner at 7 p.m. The cost is $110 for golf and dinner, or $50 for dinner only. Even if you can’t be part of the tournament but still want to be involved or to contribute, you can sponsor a hole for $100. The website www.bigedgolf.com provides a list of sponsors, as well as, accommodation options and all the tournament details.
July 16, 2014 7:30AM and 1:00PM Shotguns. Open to the public. Call 716-699-2345, ext 4411 for info.
Letter to the Editor Scenic Byway to Roll Through Ellicottville The Cattaraugus County Legislature has joined Erie County and the towns of Ellicottville, Ashford and Concord, and the villages of Springville and Ellicottville in approving the required NYSDOT Byway Support resolution. This is an important achievement in the effort to expand the WNY Southtowns Scenic Byway to Cattaraugus County. On behalf of all members of the WNYSSB committee, we thank all municipal leaders and representatives of the NYSDOT for all diligent efforts, which resulted in this community-wide support. The first part of the plan is to extend the WNYSSB from its current terminus at the intersections of US 219 and NY 39, south on US 219 through Ellicottville to an end at the Ellicottville-Great Valley town line. The second part is an extension from the intersection of NYS 240 and NY 39, south on NY 240 to NY 242 and continuing to NY 242’s intersection with US 219. The next step in the process is to complete a Corridor Management Plan Appendix (CMPA) to our 2008 original presentation. This provides a detailed description of the route, and highlights the historical, cultural, tourist draws, and scenic resources. It explains why a traveler would want to traverse these routes. The report brings to the public’s attention the specific details of why would one desire to travel the route to Ellicottville and in addition enjoy the bliss of the town of Ashford. Once the full CMPA is completed, it’s submitted to the NYSDOT Scenic Byway staff for review. Once it clears staff review, I’ll go to Albany to make a presentation to the State’s Scenic Byway Board. If they approve it, then we need to get a bill passed in the NYS Legislature to add the routes to the Scenic Byway program A bill signed by Christmas is my goal … maybe a stretch, but Christmas only comes once a year. If anyone has any questions please don’t hesitate to email me at RLennartz@wnyssb.org. A very grateful, Bob Lennartz, President
ECS Graduation • Photos by Jennie Acklin
Breathalyzers at Flea Markets? An Excellent Idea. Scientific studies are constantly proving that as long as aging brains stay active and gather new information, they continue to function soundly. In light of this, you may find the reading of this column a good opportunity of learning. The lesson: never browse a flea market after you’ve had a few beers. The problem is everything looks more interesting than it actually is. Everything looks appealing and fixable and paint worthy and ... “Hey! Holy cow! Is that The Mamas & The Papas!?” The photo had Denny Doherty and John Phillips at either end, smiling with great contentment and in the middle, in front of them, Mama Cass is looking kind of uncharacteristically foxy, but Michelle Philips’ hair is shorter and browner than the honey blonde I remember. Wow! A wood-framed photograph of one of my favourite rock groups of the 1960’s. California Dreamin’. Monday, Monday. Are you kidding me? What ‘er the chances of me walking into this sprawling palace of junk and approaching, good lord ... The Mamas & The Papas ... when a hundred, maybe a thousand people had walked right on by. I had to have it! “How much?” The 20-year-old kid in the corner who had easily gotten four or five nights sleep out of his clothes looked annoyed that I would dare speak while he played Grand Theft Auto on what looked like the world’s first computer. He picked up a cell phone, hit a button and got the boss or his dad or both. He looked at me and said: “A hundred and twenty-five bucks.” Oh man, an autographed picture of The Mamas & The Papas! These people didn’t have a clue of what this piece of rock history was
worth! Beautiful. A real steal. But hey - you still gotta haggle. “Tell him he’s dreamin’. The wood frame is chipped and the glass is so stained with smoke, it’ll have to be replaced. Seventy-five dollars.” He called back, relayed the message, said “Uh huh” and put the phone down. “It’s a hundred and twenty-five bucks and now I gotta charge you tax too!” When I got it home, I cleaned the frame, windexed the glass and hung in smack dab in the middle of my bedroom wall, just to the right of the night stand with my reading light and radio. Perfect! The next morning, coffee mug in hand, I was sitting on the edge of the bed looking into the almost angelic eyes of a bearded Denny Doherty, the calm and cool member of the band. Right beside him, the normally grungy Mama Cass is looking way, way better than I ever remembered. Her hair, normally lank and scraggly was actually short and perky and ... and okay, that’s not Mama Cass. A closer look at the signature confirmed that the large woman in the photo is actually Spanky McFarlane who joined The Mamas & The Papas after Mama croaked. I don’t know how I missed that at the flea market, but I certainly should have noticed that the short, dark-haired skinny girl in front of John Phillips was not his wife Michelle but his young daughter Mackenzie who joined the band in 1982 after her stepmother’s departure. John Phillips is really John Phillips, but he appears to be standing a tad too close and directly behind his daughter - it’s all coming back to me now because in her 2009 autography, High On Arrival, Mackenzie Phillips revealed that along with their frequent drug binges, she and her father had conducted a long-term and consensual sexual
relationship. (There’s no doubt in my mind that after she found out about the affair, Mama Cass probably choked on that ham sandwich intentionally.) Now I’m highly suspicious of these people in my bedroom and as much as I hated to do it, I needed to know whether Mackenzie falsely publicized the incestual affair with her late father in order to sell a ton of books or it was in fact true. So I crept up to the frame, removed it from the nail it hung on, turned it around and yup ... if you look at the photograph of The ‘New’ Mamas & Papas, John Phillips and Mackenzie Phillips are not wearing pants!!! Needless to say, I don’t like my chances of getting my $141.25 back from Dwayne and Dwayne Senior at the flea market just because I have been grossed out by what I saw on the backside of the photo. So I moved it from the bedroom to the living room because no matter what you think of the Phillips’ idea of fun for the whole family, it’s one helluva conversation starter. Obviously, I’m the victim in this car wreck, a disaster which could have easily been avoided if they installed breathalyzer devices at the entrances to flea markets. Long story short: For Sale - A lovely, framed photograph of The Slightly Rearranged Mamas & The Papas. Must be bolted to wall. No peaking. $125.00. No tax. P.S. Mama Cass looks absolutely ravishing.

Power Up for Singletrack Racing 6 Hours of Power at Holiday Valley July 13 By Alicia Dziak
Sunday, July 13 brings the annual 6 Hours of Power mountain bike race to the slopes of Holiday Valley. Athletes will navigate 10-mile laps around the resort and other trails running through neighboring state land. The course promises to challenge racers with varying terrain, singletrack, steep climbs and demanding descents. The race is for varying skills levels competing solo and in two-person tag teams. “All riders must be able to anticipate riding/racing for the duration,” explained Mark Lawrence, of Heartrateup.com, the organization that puts on the race. “Many go slow, many go fast, but it’s all about pace and duration on a challenging 10-mile mountain bike course.” According to www. heartrateup.com, the course has roughly 1,100 feet of climbing per lap and a 1.5-mile climbing fire-road start that enters singletrack and plenty of it! A water station at mile 3, a short
gravel connector and another 4-mile section of absolutely amazing singletrack create a flowing track. The second water station at mile 7.5 and a gravel connector sends riders towards the flowing downhill sections and rock gardens. It’s a day of world-class singletrack on sustainable, bench-cut trails that stand the test of time, leaving riders with an eerie grin for more. The race begins with a Lemans-style running start. To ensure accurate finishes, the race is also chip timed. After 15 years of holding the event, it’s become a tradition for the approximately 250 riders who participate, as well as spectators and mountain biking aficionados. Racers hail from all over New York State, as well as from Canada, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Vermont and all over the Northeast. Is your interested piqued, but just not sure you’re ready to ride? No problem! Spectators are always welcome, and since the start and finish are both by
the Holiday Valley Mountain Sports Center, visitors can easily cheer on their favorite racers. Registration starts at $65 and includes a shirt and pasta party afterwards. Race day registration is also available, space permitting. Awards go to overall solo male, female and team including cash, custom trophies and prizes. Also, awards will be presented three deep plus prizes to first place finishers in a wide range of categories. “6 Hours of Power is a great event that helps bring attention to mountain biking in our region,” said Jane Eshbaugh, Holiday Valley’s marketing director. “The endurance of these riders is amazing!” Make it a getaway weekend with family and friends for a truly memorable experience. Call (716) 699-2345 for accommodation reservations. For more information or to register, visit www. heartrateup.com.

Pumkinville continued from front page
“We do a lot of our ordering in the winter, and there’s always maintenance to be done.� Come fall, the couple easily spends 100-plus hours a week making Pumpkinville the WNY staple it is. As Pumpkinville’s regulars know, every year there’s something new to see, and this year will be no different. For starters, a new pedal car track will soon be installed in the area in front of the corn maze. “The cars will have a tractor theme,� said Dan. The cars bear a resemblance to dune buggies with pedals to move. The idea came from a convention the couple attended, where they meet with other owners of similar operations across the country. “It’s a great place to share best practices and get new ideas,� he said. While at the 2014 convention, the Pawlowskis also made contact with a professional corn maze company, based in Utah, who designed their 2014 Corn Maize. This year’s maze promises to be even more challenging and more fun! “The maze has more paths and is a lot more complex than in the past,� Diane said. The maze is sponsored by WYRK, whose name and logo appears in the maze when viewing it from above. (If you brave a helicopter ride, be sure to check it out!)
Another addition is a huge new food service building near the parking lot. The former barbecue pit and ice cream stand were replaced with one large structure. “This will really streamline our food service and help with the flow in this area,� Diane pointed out. Of course, anyone who knows Pumpkinville knows that photo ops are abundant, and the numerous wooden cutouts are always a fun and must-see part of a visit. This year, Pumpkinville has a new giant pumpkin that kids can go into and pose next to — imagine the possibilities! Even without all this year’s upgrades, Pumpkinville has tons to offer visitors! Last year, they installed two huge jumping pillows that were a big hit for both kids and adults. The air-filled trampolinelike “pillows� are built right into the ground and resemble bounce houses with no walls.
Old favorites, like the cow train, hayrides and singing chicken show will also remain on site. And don’t forget the pumpkins! Although it’s hard to nail down a number as to how many pumpkins they grow and sell each year, the Pawlowskis say it’s “thousands and thousands� of them, in all different shapes and sizes. A pick-your-own pumpkin patch is situated near the Jumping Pillows, and the huge display of grab-and-go pumpkins sits in the food area. And, of course, there’s the food! Apples, maple products, BBQ, kettle corn, sweets, treats and almost anything you can imagine will all be yours for the taking in the elaborate food service and vendor area front and center at Pumpkinville. Add in pumpkins as far as the eye can see and you’ve got yourself a full day of family fun and getting into the spirit of fall! “No one has a cooler job than us, and we feel very fortunate to be part of this region,� Dan said. Mark your calendar for Pumpkinville’s opening day on Sept. 13! For more information, visit www. pumpkinville.com.

Beer & Burgers: John Harvard’s Brew House Finish with Stout Ice Cream Float By The Usual Gang of Idiots
On a Friday after a hard week of work, a buddy and I (the Commander), ventured to Ellicottville for a few beers and a burger. Of course, our wives are part of this — thank goodness — as they are the ones that talked and conversed on the short ride. My buddy, who I will call Mr. Friday Night Cranky Pants, Cranky for short, told me read to myself as I was informing everyone in the car what beers John Harvard’s has to offer and is known for. I’ve known Cranky for many, many years, and I knew this mood was temporary. I have noticed when I travel the short distance from Olean to Ellicottville, I start to relax more and more the closer I get. Thankfully, EVL has the same effect on Cranky. By the time we parked and walked into John Harvard’s, Cranky was no longer cranky and any frustrations I had from the day had passed. We were entering a familiar place knowing the staff, food, and most importantly beer, would exceed our expectations and needs. Commander: Upon entering, being greeted and expressing our wants — to sit at the bar and have a beer or three — we found the corner of the U-shaped bar and nestled in. After a hard week, but good week, we were ready to sample some good craft beer. I ordered the beer flight of five samplings, which included three of the John Harvard’s brews on tap and two of Southern Tier’s. I first sampled the John Harvard’s selections. Fox Fire Amber was an excellent start, with its smooth start, bitter middle and light end. The bitter taste is what I love about craft beers, because,
when done properly, the bitter-sweet play on your tongue makes or breaks the beer. The Fox Fire Amber makes you want to take another sip, and it also quenches your thirst with the light finish. The Tamarack Pale Ale had a more creamy beginning and hopfueled end. As with many good India pale ales, the bitterness of the hops did not stay around, inviting you for another sip. The last of the John Harvard’s was the Black Diamond Oatmeal Stout. For me, stouts are the light beer. They look heavy and harsh, but in reality, most are light with a creamy start and a finish that does not linger. A good stout clears your mouth out for another sip. The Black Diamond also had a Scotch ale hint for me. Now, onto familiar ground — the Southern Tier offerings and my favorite type — IPA (India Pale Ale). The Southern Tier IPA has a full front, hitting you with all it has including the fortified sweetness surrounded by the bitterness of the hops. To properly sample an IPA, one must take three sips: the first to get over the fullness and initial hit of the hops, the second to identify where the sweetness happens, and the third to recognize where the bitterness plays on the tongue. This IPA is what I look for — a sweet beginning with a bitter ending. I finished my flight with the 2X. Because it has a higher alcohol content, it starts with a sweeter hit, followed — but not too quickly — with a bitter finish. Cranky Pants: Okay, now my turn. Cranky Pants here. I don’t know why he calls me that. I think I’m extremely pleasant all the time! Anyway, the Commander drags me over to E’ville with the promise that he’s buying. I knew he wouldn’t pay, but I do enjoy E’ville’s beers and burgers, so I didn’t care. The Commander ordered a flight and I did the same. My choices were Southern Tier Brewing 2X IPA, Hop Sun, Summer Love, Anchor Steam and Farmer’s Tan. I’ll say right up front that I’m biased toward IPAs, but I purposely chose four that were not so I could expand my horizons. I started with the 2X. It’s an excellent IPA with a bitter, hoppy start and a surprisingly smooth finish. If this were my only choice for the evening, I wouldn’t have complained. Next was the Hop Sun. It’s a great summer beer, smooth start to finish. I could see myself on my deck on a hot summer day enjoying a few of these.
STARS Take Flight at Rally & Air Show Cattaraugus County Airport will be Humming July 12–13
See hundreds of radiocontrolled aircraft fly through the skies on July 12–13, 2014, when you visit the Cattaraugus County/Olean Airport on Hatch Hill Road in Ischua, N.Y. Every year since July 1978, the Southern Tier Aero Radio Society (S.T.A.R.S.) has held a radio-controlled model aircraft scale rally. It is one of the largest radio-controlled model aircraft scale rallies in New York State and was the first to feature giant scale model aircraft. The rally annually attracts modelers from all across the United States and foreign countries including Canada. It features hundreds of different types and sizes of scale aircraft. During the rally, the airport is closed to full-scale aircraft activity in order to allow the radio-controlled pilots full access to the skies over the 2,000-plus-foot grass runway. Admission is free, and there are no pilot fees. Vendors are welcome at no charge. A $5 parking donation is suggested. There will be full-scale Stearman rides available Friday, July 11, starting around 10 a.m., weather permitting. This is a great opportunity to ride in an open cockpit biplane. For more than 16 years, the Cattaraugus County Arts Council (CCAC) has worked diligently to improve quality of life in the region and advocate for the role of arts and culture in the Southern Tier. Tickets are now available for the Cause for Celebration Raffle, CCAC’s annual fundraiser that supports the organization’s mission of promoting the creation, presentation, and appreciation of arts and culture. Each ticket offers a 1-in-100 chance of winning one of six original works of art and allows entry for two into the raffle drawing
Rides cost $80 for about 20 minutes. Free camping overlooking the picturesque valleys of the Southern Tier is also offered. There are no hookups, but the views are stunning. Bring your family! Rally flying times are Saturday, 10 a.m.–5 p.m., and Sunday, 10 a.m.–3 p.m., with night flying for small electric aircraft only (less than 36-inch wingspan). Preregistration takes place Friday evening, July 11, with

Summer Love — now, I took a lot of grief ordering this. Apparently, the rest of the Usual Gang of Idiots found the name less than manly. This beer wasn’t my favorite, but as I said, I’m biased toward IPAs. This is a beer Mrs. Cranky Pants might enjoy. Ah, Anchor Steam, one of the first craft beers that I ever had. What’s not to like about Anchor Steam? It’s still great — nice and balanced, always good. Farmer’s Tan was a new one for me, and it was a pleasant surprise — very hoppy start to finish. It made me want more. I can see buying many more in the future, if Mrs. Cranky pants allows it. Commander: After my beer flight, the Usual Gang of Idiots and I, along with our wives, moved to a table and were greeted by our server “Stacy.” You see, I call all my servers Stacy — I have a name problem. She talked me into a new appetizer — Ham Wings. I was skeptical but felt adventurous so I ordered it and a Smokehouse Berger. The Ham Wings were wonderful, with a mustard glaze, garnished with blue cheese dip. As Stacy said, they are worth a try. I will order this again. The burger was very taste and hearty. I was getting full after half, so I took the leftovers home and enjoyed them again for lunch the next day. I also want to mention the fries, seasoned, crisp and fabulous. As we were finishing, Stacy, suggested the EBC Chocolate Cherry Float, a dessert float made with Chocolate Cherry Bomb Stout beer. Why not finish with what we started? It was a real treat. The bitterness of the beer tempered the sweetness of the float ingredients. You need to try one to understand! Cranky Pants: What’s beer without a burger, right? I chose the Brew House Burger, rare. I’ll admit I’ve had it before. Excellent, it’s a classic American burger, juicy and large with minimum amount of stuff on it — the way God meant burgers to be. Oh, a word about John Harvard’s fries: They’re some of my favorites, crispy with a light and salty seasoning. I also tried the float for dessert and was surprised at how well the beer complemented the ice cream. Commander: John Harvard’s is familiar to the UGOI and we are very familiar with the fabulous view out the windows. However, on this visit, I didn’t notice the view, because the atmosphere and wait staff completely entertained me. Don’t drink and drive! Make sure you have a designed driver before heading out!
Ellicottville Sports Roundup First Annual ECS Sports Boosters Scholarship Awarded
By Todd Palmatier
The school bell has rung for the last time for the 2013-14 school year and graduation has taken place.

In the Major Leagues, the Ayrhart Orioles took home this year’s title with a 9-6 record. The ECLV Junior league baseball team is hovering at the .500 mark and has been playing some competitive baseball against much larger school districts.

The girls take to the diamond on July 6 against the Buffalo River Rock age 13-14 team in a best of three format at the Cattaraugus-Little Valley varsity softball field, with the winner representing the WNY region in the state qualifier.

guaranteed fun time, including such fun as a strong man contest and launching ping pong balls into a fish bowl. The party is a perfect way to unwind, mingle with friends old and new, and take in the surrounding views on a perfect summer evening. “We’re excited to host the new Top of the Mountain Party to kick off the Summer Festival weekend,” said Jane Eshbaugh, Holiday Valley’s marketing director. “What a great way to usher in summer and the Festival … a spectacular chairlift ride to the top, carnival games and good food. Fun is what Ellicottville is all about!” Ticket sales for this event are now closed. After the party, be sure to head back down to the Holiday Valley Cabana Bar for live music by the Sudden Urge Band, performing from 7:30– 11 p.m. Saturday, July 5 brings even more fun to Holiday Valley and the village, beginning with the 11 a.m. Pet Parade through
the village. The HV Cabana Bar will host music by the Black & Blues Band from 3–7 p.m., followed by the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra taking to the HV Open Air Stage at 8 p.m. The BPO will be playing a variety of patriotic music, as well as many songs from popular movies, such as Superman, Spiderman and Harry Potter. Afterwards, stay for the fireworks, and see the resort and town lit up with blasts of beautiful color. Head back to the village Sunday from 10 a.m.–5 p.m. for the arts and crafts show and strawberry festival at the Ellicottville Gazebo. The music continues with The Party Squad playing at the Cabana Bar from 3–7 p.m., and Nelson Starr and The Benjamins, followed by headliners the Gin Blossoms performing on the Open Air Stage at 7 p.m. Of course, while spending the weekend in Ellicottville, carve out a couple hours to relax in the Holiday Valley

If you still have energy to burn, head over to Sky High to get a workout in the Aerial Park or Climbing Forest, or just sit back and relax as you whiz through the trees on the Mountain Coaster. No matter how you spend the holiday weekend in Ellicottville, the Summer Festival has something for everyone — you won’t want to miss it! “It is a full weekend of fun where there really is something that will appeal to every age of visitor, whether it is enjoying one of the concerts slopeside at Holiday Valley, enjoying the Pet Parade, the Strawberry Festival or finding that unique item at the Art and Craft show,” said Heather Snyder, media and communications coordinator for the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce.

STW Board Hears ARC Grant Presentations By Jann Wiswall
The Southern Tier West Board of Directors heard presentations from six organizations that are preparing grant proposals to be submitted for Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) FY 2015 Grants. The six organizations include Pioneer Central School District, SUNY Alfred State College, YMCA of the Twin Tiers, Jamestown Community College, the Village of Westfield and Southern Tier West’s Regional Farmers Market Program. Applicants have until September to prepare their final grant applications. ARC grants are awarded for projects that meet its four strategic goals: General Goal 1: Increase job opportunities and per capita income in Appalachia to reach parity with the nation.
General Goal 2: Strengthen the capacity of the people of Appalachia to compete in the global economy. General Goal 3: Develop and improve Appalachia’s infrastructure to make the region economically competitive. General Goal 4: Build the Appalachian Development Highway System to reduce Appalachia’s isolation. The presentations were made at the board’s Thursday, June 26 meeting. ARC funds some 400 projects in 13 states each year. In other business, STW Director Richard Zink reported that the U.S. House of Representatives approved ARC’s non-highway funding at $80.3 million, which is level with FY 2014 funding. $10 million is to be used for efforts to bring high-speed broadband to “distressed counties.”
Zink noted that STW has applied for an ARC grant to support its regional farmers’ market program, as well as a USDA grant to allow it to analyze and develop a marketing plan for a proposed meat processing plant in the region. The organization also is seeking funding through the Southern Tier Enterprise Development Organization for broadband expansion in Cattaraugus County. Zink also introduced new staff member Jonathon Mayr as the organization’s new GIS Project Coordinator. Mayr, who replaces Courtney Waters, also will be managing storm water and transportation projects. The next meeting of the Southern Tier West board is scheduled for Thursday, July 17, at 1 p.m. in its Salamanca offices.

LEGAL MATTERS:
Driver Re-Evaluation Program
By Kathleen G. Moriarty, Peters & Moriarty, At t orney s and Counsel ors of L aw
Legal Matters is a regular column intended to address general legal concerns. Since every client walks in the door with a different set of circumstances, you should not rely on this column to provide specific legal advice. If you are in need of specific legal advice, please consult with an attorney; he or she will provide advice that is unique and tailored to your legal needs. This week’s column addresses a reader’s request for information about New York’s driver re-valuation policy. This
is sometimes a controversial and emotional subject; no one wants unsafe drivers on the road, but it’s difficult to ask a person to relinquish his independence. New York State Vehicle & Traffic Law Section 506 (1) states that: “If the Commissioner has ‘reasonable grounds’ to believe that a person holding a license is not qualified to drive a motor vehicle, the Commissioner may require such person submit to an examination to determine their qualifications.” The DMV must have a “specific reason” why a person’s driving qualifications need to be re-evaluated. This may include a driving incident, behavior, action or other cause reported to the DMV by a physician, a police officer or someone who knows or has observed the driver. A concerned person (police officer, physician or other) will find re-evaluation request forms on the DMV website. Once received, the DMV will review the request and determine whether a re-
evaluation is necessary. If there is a valid reason to re-evaluate the driver, DMV will send a certified letter to the driver to schedule an interview. DMV may require a vision screening, road test or an examination by a medical professional, including a review of medications and an assessment of the driver’s body control and mental awareness. Drivers may also be reevaluated if they are involved in three or more accidents in an eighteen-month period. Although DMV may suspend the person’s license, the revocation is not necessarily permanent. A driver may reapply for her license after 30 days; it will be reinstated if the reasons for the revocation have been addressed. Without question, this is a discussion that should be approached sensitively and with compassion — but it is a necessary one where there is a valid concern. For more information, please visit the DMV website at http:// dmv.ny.gov/driver-license/ dmv-driver-re-evaluation.
EVL Rodeo This Weekend
Offer Expires 7/31/14
Ellicottville Location Only
Bull Riding, Roping, Barrel Racing and More, July 3–6
This year marks the 26th year of the Ellicottville Championship Rodeo, and if you’ve never experienced a taste of the Wild West right here in Ellicottville, then it’s about time. “There will be about 450 to 500 cowboys and cowgirls coming in this year. They come from all over the USA and Canada,” said Karen Kent, who owns and runs the rodeo with her husband, John. The weekend event will bring in these athletes for 10 standard rodeo events, including Bareback Bronc Riding, Saddle Bronc Riding, Steer Wrestling, Team Roping, Junior Bull Riding, Team Penning, Cowgirls Barrel Racing, Calf Roping, Cowgirls Breakaway Roping and Bull Riding.
The rodeo also features rodeo clowns and various other acts. According to Kent, a new addition to the 2014 lineup is a female trick riding team that is coming in from Texas to entertain the crowd. (Trick riding is when stunts are performed while riding a horse.) The fun doesn’t end there! There is also a Kids’ Stick Horse Race, where kids age 10 and under can bring a stick horse and be part of the rodeo action. Registration is at the K-D Tack Tent, which is located right when you walk through the gate. Kids should bring their own stick horse or they can purchase one on-site. Gates open two hours before the rodeo begins so guests can enjoy the midway that’s chock full of great food and vendors,
and highlighted by a chicken barbecue. The rodeo is located at 6319 Sommerville Valley Rd., just outside Ellicottville. Shows will be held July 3, 4 and 5 at 7 p.m. (gates open at 5 p.m.), and on July 6 at 2 p.m. (gates open at noon), with fireworks following the three evening shows. “Rodeo is fun for the whole family and there is lots of action in the arena!” Kent said. Admission is $17 for adults, $9 for children ages 12 and under, and free for children under age 5. Pre-sale tickets are available until June 30, and tickets are also available at the gate the day of the shows. For pre-sale tickets or for more information, visit EllicottvilleRodeo.com.

comprehensive sponsorship and underwriting package details by contacting Mary Lyn Boberg at (716) 560-5482, or Beth Harvey at EBC at (716) 699-2537, ext. 1, or email beth@ellicottvillebrewing. com. The EBC audience will have a chance to bid on the paintings created that evening and will also have the opportunity to purchase other original paintings by Israel, in addition to enjoying a wonderful lobster bake or steak dinner. A phenomenal painter who has performed for celebrities, in museums, on aircraft carriers and on the Olympic stage, Israel enjoys entertaining the audience. But the kicker is that he often does it to help others the best way he knows how — through his art and he does it unlike anyone you’ve ever seen. Israel’s artistic bent became apparent at a young age. As he grew older, Israel began participating is art festivals and developed a unique method of speed painting to maximize his income, painting up to 500 pieces in a weekend. “I’d do paintings that would take like one minute, two minutes, and I would go from when the sun came up to when the sun came down,”
said Israel. “I would literally paint until I had blisters on my fingers from painting. … I’d set up a bunch of easels and just crank the music up and get into the zone and paint. One day, looking over my shoulder, I noticed there were people, as far back as I could see, watching.” He realized that if people paid to watch him paint, he could give his art away to help others. His reputation spread quickly and soon Israel began receiving invitations to do big corporate events, which have taken him around the globe. These days, Israel performs at about 20-50 events annually. Although he has been donating to charities for over 35 years, he created a special benefit program for charities about three years ago. Israel’s small committee annually selects about 15 charities to support and has provided millions in support ever since. On Saturday, Aug. 2 in the EBC Beer Garden, you’ll get a chance to see Israel in action at EBC. During his approximately 40-minute performance, self-described as “organized chaos,” he will unleash artistic magic as he jumps, lunges and spins to loud, heart-pumping music while creatively, yet
selectively, flinging paint off his brush onto vast 6-foot canvases. “This is an experience that’s unlike anything else. It sounds like so much hype, but if you talk to anyone that’s been to a show, they’ll … tell you it’s an amazing experience,” he said. “It’s almost like going to a religious rally without the religion, because people get very supercharged. I think that’s why people spend so much to own the artwork, because it’s about owning the experience.” While his artwork has sold for several hundred thousand dollars and hangs in many private collections, Israel said the image, how it’s rendered or how much it sold for aren’t the focus of his art. He said, “My job is to help build a relationship between the charitable entity and the people they’re helping year after year, long after I’m gone.” That said, event attendees will have a chance to become owners of an original painting by Israel. See some of his work at www.michaelisrael.com. “Anyone that knows what I do, knows they have an option to get a real ‘steal’ at the charity events,” said Israel. Anything goes until midnight of the event.

have expanded. Balloons added a large addition and outdoor patio space to accommodate its loyal following, and Madigan’s has added a large new secondfloor deck for outdoor dining and entertaining. Four new residential communities in Ellicottville are in various stages of planning, too. At 16 Martha Street, developers are renovating two existing buildings to create a 10-unit rental apartment complex and a four-unit, twostory apartment building. Gestion Blueberry Lake, a luxury, single-family home vacation community off Poverty Hill Road, is in the planning stages. The Canadian developers expect to break ground on infrastructure this summer. One of Ellicottville’s most historic buildings – the 1887 Schoolhouse building at the corner of Jefferson and Washington Streets – finally has been purchased by developers who plan to restore the exterior of the building to its finest. They expect to turn the property into a 7-10 unit condominium with underground parking. And, HoliMont’s Marketing Director Dash Hegeman reports that the infrastructure (roads, sewer, water, etc.) for its new development, WestMont Ridge, will be completed by the end of the month. Closings on 21 of the 31 available lots for single-family homes on the property are expected to begin within the next several weeks. Plans for a new condominium building are in the permitting stages for a fall construction start. New Events Ellicottville is known as a festival and event destination all year long, and three new events hosted this spring likely will build on this reputation. In April, Holiday Valley hosted its first Enchanted Mountain Blue Grass Festival. The three-day event featured nightly concerts from big-name performers, daily singing and instrument workshops, jamming and many other music-making opportunities for amateurs and professionals alike. Beginning in mid-May and extended into early June, “Night Lights at Ellicottville’s Nannen Arboretum” drew crowds to see the acres of myriad tree species bathed in colorful, enchanting lighting. Then, on the last weekend of Night Lights, Ellicottville organizations and businesses hosted an all-out Cycling Weekend that included the remarkable Chris Clark

From the Bookshelf Recommended Reading from the Ellicottville Memorial Library
“All the Light We Cannot See” by Anthony Doerr Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, M where whe he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, MarieLaure Lau goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, twe the Nazis occupy Paris and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, S where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel. In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, sis enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building bu and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge. Ten years in the writing, All the Light We Cannot See is a magnificent, deeply moving novel from a writer “whose sentences never fail to thrill” (Los Angeles Times). This book is currently available in book format at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. It is also available in large print format using our interlibrary loan program. Don’t forget, you can access over 7,000 eBooks and eAudiobooks using your library card!
Bicycle Stunt Show and longdistance road rides, as well as other activities that showcased the awesome bicycling opportunities for which the Ellicottville area has become known. Summer Road Improvements Getting to and around Ellicottville will be a bit different this summer as some necessary road construction is underway. The Southern Tier Expressway (I-86) between Salamanca and Seneca Junction is closed until fall, but the detour along Route 417 is generally passable and quite scenic. Travelers can take this opportunity to visit some of the unique shops and restaurants in the villages, towns and City of Salamanca along the way. In the village of Ellicottville, the New York State Department of Transportation has begun work on a sidewalk project on Route 242 into Ellicottville. They’re also rebuilding the intersection at Washington, Elizabeth and Fillmore streets for safety reasons, and are improving pedestrian ramps at key intersections in the village. Traffic may be rerouted for construction at times during the summer, so watch for signs and flaggers. Local Government and School The area’s local governments have had a busy spring. The Town of Ellicottville has awarded bids and will begin construction of the East Tank Project, which involves constructing a large, new water tank and piping that will improve water pressure, fire safety and development opportunities throughout the town and village. Progress is being made on the proposed extension of the Southtowns Scenic Byway, which currently connects Orchard Park, East Aurora and Springville in a 71-mile loop. A designated scenic byway is intended to “promote economic development and community pride through the thoughtful stewardship of the natural, scenic, cultural, historic and recreational resources of the byway region.” The Cattaraugus
County extension would add about 25 miles along Route 219 through Concord, Ashford, Ellicottville and back. On June 25, the county legislature voted overwhelmingly to support the project. Approval by the state legislature and the governor also is required. The Ellicottville Village Board has announced an effort to build support for rezoning the “four corners” of Ellicottville as a “special” historic district with strict allowed uses. Those uses are to be determined by the Village Board, the Planning Board and the entire community. The intent of the effort is to preserve the integrity of these historic and architecturally unique buildings (the 1887 Building, St. John’s Episcopal Church, the Village/Town Hall and the Town Museum) and their grounds, which have anchored the village since the 1800s at the corners of Jefferson and Washington streets. The entire Ellicottville Central School District is awaiting the start of construction on the $9.8 million renovation project that will break ground in the next few weeks. Plans call for a new multi-purpose gymnasium, renovation of 10 classrooms in the high school wing, repair of the elementary school’s ventilation system and construction of a protected entryway at the southern entrance to the high school. While the school is under construction for the next year and a half, the school administration and board have worked tirelessly to make alternate arrangements to accommodate sports teams, school events and all the other activities that must be relocated. Preparing for Summer Spring is a great time to visit Ellicottville, but summer is also a blast and the entire community has been preparing for it all year long. Be sure to check out the activities article on the gloss wrap and check off which of the 32 exciting adventures you will be adding to your summer bucket List!
Health & Fitness: Roll Away Pain
By Kim Duke neta & afaa Certified Trainer
If you are new to strength training, running, kayaking or anything that pushes your body to perform numerous unfamiliar repetitions, your body will respond with sore and achy muscles. One of the best ways I have found to relieve those sore muscles is through foam rolling. Foam rolling is an awesome stand-in for a massage. New research supports what trainers and physical therapists have claimed for years: Done just before exercise, the simple technique can reduce muscle fatigue and soreness dramatically enough that the workout feels easier. And, rolling as a part of your cool down has been shown to cut down on post exercise discomfort. It eases aches by improving blood flow and restoring muscular and joint
function. The one hitch is that many folks press too hard on the roller, which can be painful. To get the benefits without the “ouch” factor, aim for a consistent, light pressure. Often, my clients come in with sore muscles and have specific trigger points that require extra attention. Releasing trigger points helps to reestablish proper movement patterns and painfree movement, and ultimately, to enhance performance. Utilizing stretching alone is not always enough to release muscles tightness, which is why foam rollers have thrived on the mass market. Imagine a bungee cord with a knot tied into it and then envision stretching the cord. This creates tension, stretching the unknotted portion of the muscle and the attachment points. The knot, however, has remained unaltered. Foam rolling can assist in breaking up these muscle knots, resuming normal blood flow and function. The goal to any corrective or recovery technique is to get you back to the point of normal functioning, as if nothing was ever wrong. To foam roll properly, apply moderate pressure to
a specific muscle or muscle group using the roller and your bodyweight. You should roll slowly, no more than one inch per second. When you find areas that are tight or painful, pause for several seconds and relax as much as possible. You should slowly start to feel the muscle releasing, and after 5-30 seconds the discomfort or pain should lessen. If an area is too painful to apply direct pressure, shift the roller and apply pressure on the surrounding area, and gradually work to loosen the entire area. The goal is to restore healthy muscles — it is not a pain tolerance test. You may also use other objects to work on muscles, such as a tennis ball. You may be sore the next day. It should feel as if your muscles have been worked/ released, but you should not push yourself to the point of excessive soreness. Drink plenty of water, get enough sleep and eat clean. This will help flush your system and fuel your muscles more effectively. Give it 24-48 hours before focusing on the same area again.

Preserving Ellicottville’s ‘Town Square’ The Significance of the Four Corners By Mary Fox
You don’t have to drive through many towns in Cattaraugus and adjoining counties to see that most have a “town square” that serves as the center of the town or village. For some, this focal point distinguishes the town as being laid out by the plan of the Holland Land Company, the developers of Western New York. Ellicottville’s Town Square is intersected by Washington and Jefferson streets with green spaces on each corner. And there is a movement in the works to establish the “four corners” as a special historic district. Joseph Ellicott, surveyor and chief agent of the Holland Land Company, laid out the town in 1815, designating each corner for the pursuits of religion, education and government. The town was given the name Ellicottsville in his honor (later the spelling was changed to Ellicottville). 1887 Building A two-story schoolhouse was built on the southeast corner of the square in 1824. When the town disputed over school districts, it was purchased and moved by Nicholas Devereux to become the Catholic chapel for the Church of Philip Neri. In 1850, the factions reunited and a Greek Revival frame school was built on the corner. In 1887, the 1850 building was moved to the site where the M&T Bank is today. A new school was built on the corner using the stone from the old County Jail behind the County Clerk’s Office (where the post office is today) for the school building’s foundation. It served as a school until the late 1970s, when it became office space and the location of the library. The 1887 Building has gone
through many changes over the past 127 years but has stood the test of time, as have its companions the County Courthouse/Town Hall built in 1829, St. John’s Episcopal Church built in 1837 and the County Clerk’s Office built in 1858. Town Hall Until 1868, the Cattaraugus County Courthouse in Ellicottville served the judicial and governmental needs of the people of Cattaraugus County. The original squared log structure built in 1818 included the first-floor jail and above it, the courts. It burned in 1829 and was replaced by the brick building seen today. At that time, the County Jail was moved across the street to where the post office now stands. Another fire in 1969 did not destroy the entire building so that it could be rebuilt to its previous appearance. After the county seat was moved to Little Valley in 1868, the building became the Ellicottville Town Hall. A stage was built in the old courtroom on the second floor. That room was then commonly called the Opera House or Academy of Music, which meant that it became the place for lectures, plays and various kinds of entertainment and meetings of organizations. In 1947, the upstairs was remodeled to accommodate some of the classes of the school district. In the early ‘80s, it was remodeled again to take up the business of the town. The Village Gazebo
was built in 1983 to be used for community gatherings, and social and cultural events. Once a week in the summer, a band or entertainer uses the gazebo as their stage. Weddings and other ceremonies and festivals are held here. It truly is, as Ellicott intended, a place for people to gather. Ellicottville Historical Museum The County Clerk’s Office was not built until 1858. After the County Seat was moved to Little Valley in 1868, it served a variety of purposes such as a church, millinery shop, bank, post office, fire department, schoolroom, library and currently museum. As the town’s museum, it is run by the all-volunteer Ellicottville Historical Society, with new exhibits designed and created by the society every two months. St. John’s Episcopal Church In 1829, an Episcopal missionary referring to Ellicottville as the “Western Wastes” came here to establish St. John’s. Parishioners met at the schoolhouse and the County Courthouse until their church was built in 1837. The eyes are drawn upward by the Gothic Revival architecture of the church, which stands tall on the southwest corner of the “town square.” It has stood virtually unchanged for 177 years as a testament to the pioneers who believed in the future of Ellicottville. Cattaraugus County was the last area in Western New York to be developed by the Holland Land Company. Joseph Ellicott held little hope that the land in the mountain wilderness of Cattaraugus County would attract settlers. But, as you can readily see, Ellicottville did attract settlers and continues to today.

Behind the Bars
Blowouts Suck
By The Road Toad Well, we are “full on” in the motor scootin’ season. I had a 200-plus mile ride last Saturday that covered a good chunk of the Southern Tier. What a beautiful part of the country we live and ride in. I hope you get out and about. Don’t just ride the 219 corridor — you miss too much of where we are. Just because you are where there are a couple hundred other bikes, does not make that the best place to be. Get out “in the wind”! Blowouts 101 My ride included a conversation with another guy — over an ice cream cone — about a wreck he saw caused by a blowout. Man, those are rare these days. With tire technology, tubeless tires and quality of production, you just don’t see those very often. When you do, in most cases, it is caused by poor tire maintenance or knowledge. You need to realize the most important “connection” you have is not the dude you know who does powder coating, but is what connects you to the blacktop. I talk a lot about looking: Look where you are going, look for hazards, look out for DDs (Dumb Drivers). Well, you gotta “look” at your tires, too! The biggest cause of blowouts is under inflation. This time of year, with hot temps, blistering hot asphalt and an under inflated tire, you are looking to get yourself on the 6 o’clock news: “Biker injured after losing control of his motorcycle after a blowout.” A soft tire is a hot tire. Check your tire pressure frequently (I do once a week — or more).
Your owner’s manual will have that information. If you have replaced your tires, you should go by the pressure indicated by the manufacturer, which is molded on the sidewall of every tire. The next cause of blowouts is tire wear. Wet riding conditions require tread depth to channel water away from your tire so you stick to the road. Take a quarter to check the tread. If the tread extends past the top of Washington’s head, your tread is legal. But, I have to tell you, I am changing rubber way before then. You may have “wear bars” built into your tire. They are often marked by an arrow on your sidewall close to the tread, if you are down to your wear bars — change your tires! Next look at your tires for abrasions and sidewall wear or damage. With the conditions of roads these days, you never know what that last pothole did to your tire. There are many things to be aware of when riding and what may cause tire damage. Watch for road hazards, debris in the road, rocks — anything that may cause you grief. What if it Happens Anyway? What if you have done all this and you are still unfortunate enough to have a blowout? Well, this will immediately get your undivided attention as you get a full-on adrenaline spike!
Keep a firm, two-handed grip on your bars. Try not to “lock” your arms — you need to control the bike. Steer smoothly and gently ease off the throttle. No sudden actions or you might fall down! Do not downshift or brake. Doing either of these suddenly may cause a weight shift. Now add that to an already unstable chassis and you are asking for things to escalate dramatically — and you might fall down! As traffic permits, slow down and move to the side of the road. Be sure you are under control and slow to a stop. Do not ride onto an unpaved shoulder at speed — or you might fall down. If you must brake, limit your braking to the good tire. Braking on the blown tire may cause the tire to separate from the rim — and you will fall down! Once you have stopped, address your personal hygiene issue. Biking demands you are expecting, and are always prepared for the unexpected. You are never not “in harm’s way.” Biking is exciting and an adventure, and it comes with responsibility and accountability. Practice swerving and braking skills often, and in a safe area. Be constantly alert. Just because “it” never happened to you, doesn’t mean it ain’t gonna happen to you — right now! You need to consider how prepared you are and how aware you are when you ride. And if you go “two up,” you better be on top of your game; you have someone behind you that you are 100 percent accountable for and this is no light load to shoulder!

to hold it “one more time” the following year to benefit the Society. “One more time” has now turned into an annual tradition that continues to grow in participation and popularity. The Friday night kickoff event can only be described as wacky. The entire family is invited to watch or participate in the “Hillbilly NASCAR” race, involving “old, beat up, riding lawnmowers” racing along with a “specialized pace car” — a motorized picnic table with all the bells and whistles, including a patio umbrella. Racers must complete 10 laps. The winner is awarded bragging rights. The Hillbilly NASCAR race
starts at the Nannen Arboretum at 6 p.m. Immediately following the race, you’re invited to stick around for “Dancin’ and Romancin’, Hillbilly Style” at the Town Center, where the Twobadours will keep your feet tappin’ all evening long for just a $10 donation. Hillbilly costumes are optional. Then, on Saturday and Sunday, local and regional artists will display their work and techniques from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Each day, the familyfriendly event features more music from the Twobadours, alpacas, ducks and other critters for the kids, great food — including fresh pie and
lemonade stands courtesy of the Lund and Arena families, and the Ellicottville Rotary Club’s specialty hot dog wagon. On Saturday at 2 p.m., the real work begins with an auction to raise funds for the Historical Society. All participating artists will have pieces available, along with other donated items. And on Sunday, you’ll want to be sure to return for the handmade quilting exhibition on the grounds of St. John’s Episcopal Church. Calling All Artists! There’s still room for artists — professional and novice alike — to display their work at the fair, and it’s free! “It’s is a great way to showcase and sell your art without making a big investment,” said McCarthy. Dozens of artists are already committed to displaying and/or demonstrating their work, including jewelry makers, weavers, potters, woodworkers, painters, glass artisans and many others. The only request is that each artist donates a piece of their work to be sold at Saturday’s auction. If interested, please call McCarthy at (716) 378-0916.

Planning Board Hears Project Updates Approves Maples Road Subdivision
By Jann Wiswall
At the June 23, 2014, meeting of the Ellicottville Town Planning Board, the board approved a request from Maples Road residents Rodney and Marlene Sergel to subdivide their farm. The Sergels are selling 10 acres of their 115-acre property. In his review of the request, Ellicottville Town Engineer Mark Alianello noticed other property transfers within the original property over the years had left a small parcel that needs to be reintegrated into the Sergel’s parcel and that a few other loose ends need to be tied up. During its SEQR review, the board determined that there is no environmental impact related to the subdivision. The board approved the request with two conditions: 1) that a shed on the property be moved to no less than 25 feet from the new parcel’s property line, and 2) that the small parcel be merged with the “parent” parcel. A new plat map, which was unavailable at the meeting, will be signed by Ellicottville Town Planning
Board Chair Sis Signore upon receipt. In other business, Andy Gow, an engineer with Nussbaumer & Clarke, attended the meeting to provide the board with an update on the status of plans for Gestion Blueberry Lake, a vacation community being developed off Poverty Hill Road. Gow said that, while final plans are not yet available, he was able to show the board that requested adjustments to lot lines have been made and all lots are now a minimum of 5 acres. He also said that, as a result of board concerns, additional efforts are being made to address storm water drainage. The board asked some additional questions about storm water management, whether the turning radius of switchbacks are suitable for emergency vehicles and other questions. Gow said he hopes to be able to present final plans at the July meeting. Alianello said that he had met with Carl Calarco, the contractor managing the Glen Burn Trail development,
Silly Sock Day at Sky High Adventure Park
to discuss revising the town’s easement along the development’s property to accommodate the East Tank water project. The new easement provides more space for better water line placement. Calarco provided the board with a new easement plat, which the board approved. Alianello said the town is working on getting many other easements for the project. Finally, Alianello reported that the New York State Department of Transportation has approved the town’s request to install “No Standing” signs along Route 219 south between the intersection of Route 242 and 580 feet to the north. The town requested the signs to prevent large trucks from parking along Route 219 to visit the Tim Hortons restaurant. The NYDOT agreed that the truck parking is a vehicle and pedestrian safety issue. The next meeting of the Ellicottville Town Planning Board will be held on July 28 at 6 p.m. at the Village/Town Hall.
