Judith B. Acklin Judith Ann Brown Acklin, 75, a resident of Warren County, PA since 1963, died July 6, 2014 of a hard-fought struggle with cancer. The oldest daughter of Robert N. and Micha Elizabeth Brown, she was born February 12, 1939 in Wellsburg, WV. She graduated from Coraopolis Senior High in 1957 and attended nurses training at Presbyterian University Hospital in Pittsburgh, PA. She also attended art classes at Carnegie Museum, and the Ringling School of Art in Sarasota, FL. Married to Frank B. Acklin (surviving), they moved from Pittsburgh to Warren County and raised their three children, Craig R. Acklin (Julie) of Jamestown NY, Jennifer B Acklin of Ellicottville NY, and Tracy E. Acklin of Warren PA. Also surviving are her two grandsons, Ryan F. Acklin of Pittsburgh, PA and Evan J. Acklin of Jamestown, NY., her sister Janet Dunkle of Warren, PA with whom she was very close, and several cousins, nieces and nephews. Her parents Robert N. and Micha Elizabeth Brown, sister Joyce Kozak, and nephew Charles Dunkle precede her in death. Judy worked most of her career in the nursing profession as an LPN, as a private duty nurse and for the Youngsville doctors’ office. In retirement, she worked at Ring Around A Rosy, and
enjoyed her numerous flower gardens. She was a member of the Warren Garden Club, and had been a previous member of the Moon Township Garden Club with her mother and sister Janet. She was a talented artist, and loved to paint in her home studio. She was an avid crocheter, reader, life-long Steeler fan, and she loved to ski and travel. Her favorite retreat was in the Adirondak Mountains, camping and canoeing with Frank, family and friends, and her wonderful companion Boomer, their dear black Lab. Judy skied with her family at
Holiday Valley, and spent many weekends watching her son Craig and daughter Jennie race at HoliMont, Kissing Bridge, Cockaigne, Peek n’ Peak, and Peak n’ Mountain. She was a master of crockpot lunches at the slopes with her sister Janet’s help! She also participated more recently at several Summer Fest art shows and Americana Art Fair shows with daughter Jennie, and the Christmas Cantata was one of her favorite holiday events. Judy was kind and thoughtful beyond words, and everyone who knew her will miss her enormously. A candlelight memorial service is planned for Sunday July 20, 2014 at 7:00 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church, 300 Market St., Warren, PA. All who knew her and loved her are welcome to attend. A reception will follow the service. Burial will be in Oakland Cemetery, Warren, PA. A Memorial Scholarship has been established through Warren County Community Foundation. Contributions can be made to the Judith B. Acklin Memorial Scholarship Fund, PO Box 691, Warren, PA 16365 (Please be sure to designate her memorial fund in the memo line). In lieu of flowers, Judy would want donations made to The Warren Public Library or the Warren County Humane Society in her name.

At its meeting on Tuesday, July 1, the Village of Ellicottville’s Zoning Board of Appeals approved floor area ratio variances for new accessory buildings at 39 Martha St. and 1 Adams St. Both new structures will be slightly larger than permitted by current zoning laws. In addition, the board approved a variance on the height requirement for the 1 Adams St. accessory building. The new building will include a first floor garage and a second
floor apartment. Under current zoning law, accessory buildings may be no more than 75 percent of the height of the main buildings on Village lots in order to retain a visual height difference between the two structures. The owner asked the board for permission to add 1 foot 4 inches of height to the structure in order to provide a more comfortable ceiling height on the second floor. The resulting difference between accessory and main building will be 89 percent.

In considering the variance, the board felt that it was important to provide the additional ceiling height for residents of the second floor and that there would still be enough visual difference between structures. The Village Zoning Board of Appeals meets on an as-needed basis on the first Tuesday of the month. The next meeting will be announced in advance in the Ellicottville Times.

If you’ve ever been to Key West, FL, odds are you’ve been to world famous Sloppy Joe’s bar. And if you’ve been to Sloppy Joe’s in the last 17 years, odds are you’ve seen a Pete and Wayne show, gracing Sloppy Joe’s stage four days a week since 1997. Pete and Wayne are, as one reviewer claimed, “a cocktail shaker full of good times for adults.” So, what is a Pete and Wayne show? A music show? A comedy show? A musical comedy show? All of the above! Pete and Wayne are a rambunctious blend of political satire, religious commentary, naughty songs, a whole lot of drinking, and some darn great music. The aforementioned review

Scenes from Summerfest • Photos by Greg Spako
I’ve got crosses of masking tape on all the windows of the house to stop birds from flying into them. Unfortunately, the robins mistake these X’s for runway markings. At the beginning of June, they’re naturally excited— nesting, mating and flying off in all directions like somebody spiked the hummingbird feeder. Now, late in June, it’s the youngsters with sparse feathers and new wings who are challenging the integrity of the glass around my house. “No, no, Jimmy, that’s not a forest, the guy’s got plants in his living room!” Dwindling in numbers with less territory to work with, birds all over the world are going a little cuckoo. Ground-nesting storks, for example, have settled on a golf course in Germany and they keep trying, unsuccessfully, to hatch golf balls. (As in the game of golf, Titleists are proving the toughest.) In Spain, 40 percent of all stork chicks are leaving the nest early in their development stage and sneaking into nearby nests of other stork families looking for a better deal. Swifts, relatives of the hummingbird, may have poor perching skills, but they more than make up for it in sexual agility. Co-joined belly to belly at 2,000’ swifts copulate at 200 miles per hour which is faster than most small aircrafts. (Mile High Club members can only marvel.) Thieves recently broke into a residence in the capital of San Salvador and fled with valuables that included the owner’s parrot. When the getaway car was stopped by police in a routine check, Paquita began squawking: “Robbery! Robbery!” - the exact words spoken by Paquita’s owner when the thieves broke into his house. Suspicious, police checked
the trunk and found the rest of the loot. That arrest led them to other members of an organized theft ring. All pet lovers claim their cats and dogs talk to them, but how many of our four-footed friends can name 100 objects and understand the concepts of categories, size and absence? Alex can. As documented in her book, Alex & Me, Irene Pepperberg’s 30year research project with Alex, the brainy African grey parrot, was nothing short of amazing. By adding numbers and differentiating shapes, colours and textures, this parrot may have come closer to exhibiting human intelligence than any other animal on earth. He was also a rascal who enjoyed dancing and needling his handler. If Pepperberg happened to greet another parrot in the laboratory first, Alex would get jealous and sulk all day. He would then refuse to cooperate and become very demanding. Instead of answering questions, he’d ask for food, toys, showers and a transfer to his gym. On one such day, Alex demanded a nut, but Pepperberg was ignoring him. Even after decades of interplay with the parrot, she was stunned to hear him say: “Want a nut. Nnn ... uh ... tuh.” Like, ‘do I have to spell this out of you, Science Lady’? I have had my own awkward encounter with the beak that speaks. Except this one whistled. Many summers ago, I was sitting at an outside café on Bestor Square in Chautauqua, NY, enjoying a coffee, a muffin and that town’s daily newspaper. I had just finished teaching my morning humour writing class. Kirsten, the artist in residence, was behind me working on a clay sculpture with her macaw perched in a cage beside her. An unusually large American parrot, the bird was brightly coloured, with a long
feathered tail. I could hear the woman padding down the sidewalk before I saw her. She was middle-aged, large, and lugging a heavy bag of groceries in each hand. She looked over-heated in a flowery summer dress with a floppy straw hat. As she came into my view, Kirsten’s parrot let loose with a very, sharp, extremely loud wolfwhistle. The woman stopped, turned and stared straight at me. I buried my head in my newspaper. I could feel the heat of her glare. Time passed slowly and then finally, I heard her steps continue. Two steps, actually - that’s all it took for Kirsten’s macaw to unleash another wolf-whistle, the kind that would make a construction worker proud. The woman stopped dead in her tracks, turned and laser-like, honed those piercing eyes on me again. I hid behind the newspaper for what seemed like whole minutes, hoping the parrot would give himself away. No such luck. “Look,” I said peaking over the top of the paper, “that was not me that whistled.” “Oh, I know it wasn’t you,” she said, wiping her brow with the back of her hand. “It was that damn bird again.” “Just once,” she said, turning to leave. “Just once why couldn’t it be a man?” Truthfully, I like birds, it’s just that I don’t trust them all that much.

Budding young artists can explore their creativity this summer at the Cattaraugus County Arts Council (CCAC) with a full lineup of day camps for students age 4 through 18. With small, focused classes led by the area’s leading children’s art instructors, students are guaranteed a summer of exciting artistic exploration and discovery. CCAC’s most popular camp, ArtVenture, returns with three weeklong sessions for a variety of age groups. This camp is designed for students who are interested in exploring a variety of mediums and techniques. This summer’s ArtVenture projects will include selfportraits, tie-dye, stepping stones, pet (or animal) portraits and recyclable sculptures. Seats are still available for the July 7-11 session, open to our Young Artists, age 7-10. ArtVenture for New Artists, age 4-7, will take place July 21-25 and the Junior Artist session, geared toward the 1014 age group, returns Aug. 4-8. New artists with an interest in pottery are in for a treat during the ClayVenture camp on Aug. 11-15. Tailored to the 4-7 age group, students can roll up their sleeves and get dirty during this weeklong camp. New artists will learn all about clay while having fun making functional and sculptural work. The final day of class will be spent learning about ceramic glazes and other decorative
techniques to complete their creations. Projects include a bird feeder, slab-rolled house, wind chimes and their very own dinner plate. For students who want to concentrate on one particular art form, CCAC will offer a variety of specialized camps. For New Artists, age 4-7, the Basics of Drawing camp will help them build a solid artistic foundation the week of Aug. 25-29. This introductory class will focus on drawing with pencil, charcoal and ink, and students will leave with their own sketchbook to continue their creative journey. From Aug. 18-22, Young Artists in the 7-10 age group can enroll in CCAC’s first paper mache camp. Students will learn how to use a wide variety of readily available materials including newspaper, cardboard, paste, balloons, tissue paper and more to create decorative bowls and their very own large paper piñata. CCAC is pleased to offer a selection of performing art camps in addition to the visual
art sessions. Intro to Acting camps will help student builds skills that will assist them in the theater and acting fields, including relationship building, following directions and working together. Students will participate in improv games, skits and much more. Intro to Acting will be offered for Young Artists, age 7-10, during the week of July 14-18, and for our Teen Artists, age 14-18, from July 21-15.

Pocket Ranger’s NY State Parks Recreation Guide
By Eva Potter
Heading to a nearby state park this summer? Then you need this free, comprehensive outdoor guide created by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation in collaboration with ParksByNature Network. The newest generation, revised June 5, 2014, is better than ever after a total makeover! This app written for Android and iOS is powered by Pocket Ranger technology and provides an environmentally friendly way to enjoy the parks. It contains everything you need to plan a trip to the state parks, navigate them once you get there and share your experiences afterward. Newly added features include a new user interface with a photo-centric home screen, photo galleries on each park description page and a new “explore” feature to help you find what you need. Optimized search capabilities allow you to run a four-in-one search by location, activities, category and site name — not to mention awesome GPS functions. App user Jim Parker said: “Great find. Love this app. I used it all summer doing hiking trips with my club. Great for planning then trail
tracking in the parks. Friend finder feature links us all up and GPS keeps us on path. Great job.” GPS functions include advanced GPS maps complete with an accuracy and distance indicator that allow you to access trail data, record tracks from hikes, runs or bike rides, and view elapsed time and distance traveled. No worries about being disconnected due to a lost mobile signal. Easy-to-cache terrain map tiles have you covered. You can take a photo to mark and record the coordinates of plant life, animal species,
landscape views or your favorite bear cave. Then share with friends and family with the click of a button. The friend finder feature enables you to track friends and family around the parks (no it’s not stalking if they know you’re doing it). You can also record tracking via Facebook, Twitter or email. It also has a built-in compass and a potentially life-saving alert feature that supplies GPS coordinates to designated contacts in case of an emergency. Other standard features include state park policies, contact information, available activities, trails, and cacheable maps of park facilities, trails and campgrounds. Stay up to date with news, park advisories and weather information, too. Access a real-time calendar of events, online reservations and more. This enhanced app is designed to function in areas with little to no mobile reception, though some features do require mobile data reception in order to function properly. One side note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life (but you already knew that, right).
Planning Board Continued from Front Page
Tips Up Renovations Tips Up’s proposed renovation of the front of its building was approved by the planning board after it reviewed the front door selection and approved all other architectural design plans, including a new front window and siding. The restaurant also submitted a sketch of a new sign design that incorporates the restaurant name, a set of skis, a patron, and other elements that will be carved and painted on tiger maple and black walnut. While the board felt the design itself was “busy,” its look is the owners’ decision. However, the board noted that the new sign at its proposed size of 45 inches by 51 inches (about twice as large as the existing sign) would hang over the state’s right of way and, therefore, would require a state permit. Owners Judy and Anton Roush noted that the larger size was chosen to draw more attention to the restaurant, noting that because of a large tree out front, people don’t see the current sign or notice that the restaurant is there. Board members suggested that strategically placed lighting would go a
long way toward drawing the eye to the business, even with a smaller sign. The Roush’s agreed that lighting would be beneficial and will look into options for the board’s review next month. Two Accessory Building Permits The review of architectural design for accessory buildings at 39 Martha St. and 1 Adams St. both were approved by the board after the Village Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) approved variances for those properties at its meeting last week (see story, page X). Fillmore Drive Property Development Three area residents have until next week to decide if they will go through with purchasing property along Fillmore Drive. The residents, who have formed a partnership, are considering developing the property for a 9-lot subdivision. The partners asked the board for information about any issues with the property and to help them understand what their options are from a zoning perspective. Village Planner Jason Paananen had reviewed initial sketch plans and noted that some right-of-way and sewer issues would need to be
resolved and the partners might have to rethink certain lots, but that the project is doable. If they decide to go ahead, their next step will be to submit a formal application for a major subdivision. Comprehensive Plan Board Chair Nancy Rogan reported that a committee has been established to update the Village’s Comprehensive Plan. A number of changes must be made, including the zoning map, and the committee also will prepare a proposal to establish the “Four Corners” of the Village, at the intersection of Washington and Jefferson Streets, as a separate historic district that is outside of the commercial district. All members of the Planning Board, along with Town Planning Board Chair Margaret Signore and Village Board Member Patra Lowes make up the committee. A member of the ZBA also will be invited to participate. The next meeting of the Village Planning Board will be held on August 12 at 5:30 p.m. in the Village/Town Hall. Applications for consideration at the August meeting must be in the board’s hands no later than July 29.

school and board committees and subcommittees. In continuing board business, the board approved policies related to staff and student use of computerized information resources, Internet content filtering/safety, and testing misconduct/mandatory reporting requirements. The board also approved the following companies as winning low bidders for the school renovation project, which is set to begin this month. • General Trades: SLR Contracting, $5,705,432 • Plumbing: DV Brown Associates, $375,900 • Mechanical: Parise Mechanical, $1,066,000 • Electrical: Industrial Power & Light, $1,059,000 These base bids total $8,206,332. The project is budgeted at $9.8 million. The board voted to allow Calarco, as president of the board, to sign all contracts associated with the project and voted to allow Superintendent
Mark Ward to “approve and execute change orders in an amount not to exceed $30,000 in connection with the Capital Project…unless the Superintendent determines, after a good faith review of the proposed change order, that the change would constitute a material alteration to the Project.” In this case, Ward will seek approval from the board. For the benefit of the new board members, Ward discussed policies and procedures that are being put in place regarding the 100 computers that will be provided to all juniors and advanced sophomore students this year. (Extra computers will be available from the library for other students to borrow.) All students receiving computers will be required to sign contracts and parents will be offered the option of purchasing insurance (roughly estimated at $30 for the entire year). The school board, which authorized the purchase, felt that ensuring regular
accessibility to computers will prepare college- and workbound students for the future. Principals’ Reports Elementary Principal Connie Poulin reported that, generally, report cards for elementary students were excellent and that teachers did a very thoughtful job with their narrative comments. She said that professional development for teachers over the summer will focus on aligning teacher comments with the Common Core. Middle/High School Principal Bob Miller said that the 2014 graduation was an enormous success, with 56 of 56 seniors graduating and a huge crowd on hand to celebrate their achievements. Everyone agreed that it will be nice when the new gym/multipurpose room is built and air conditioning is available for graduation 2016. The next meeting of the ECS school board will be held on Tuesday, July 15 at 7:30 p.m. in the high school library.

VanOver Fine Arts Presents American Comic Art
Manga
U.S.A.
The art is mainly about people or beings who have supernatural abilities. The charecters are built up, and the muscles are enlarged. There are books that are more realistic, like Archie or The Peanuts, and occasionally there is a book in the middle, like Bone, but the focus is on quote “Super Heroes.” The point of American comic art is that creativity rules over reality. American comics feature all sorts of strange and original ideas ranging from aliens with rings that generate objects from the mind to a kid who was bit by a radioactive spider. The art itself usually features over-proportioned muscles and darker colors. What seperates American comic art from, say, Manga (Japanese comics) is the style. Granted, every artist has their own style, but within the bounds of the art itself. Manga would featuer more realistic muscles, while American art would have a hero/heroine that looks like and over-proprtioned body builder. This, of course, excludes comics like Archie, where it is more comical and realistic.
Paintings by Chad Grohman July 12-26 VanOver Fine Arts Gallery presents another amazing exhibition, beginning this weekend. “I’m Alive, You’re Alive” Paintings by Chad Grohman is brought to the gallery by Buffalo artist Chad Grohman, a rising star on the contemporary art scene. Grohman’s use of gouache has the feel of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s work with a modern presence. The show’s public opening reception will be held July 12, from 6 to 10 p.m. at VanOver Fine Arts Center, located at 49 East Main St. in Springville. The exhibition will run through July 26. For more information about this artist and exhibition, visit www.vanoverfinearts. blogspot.com.

SALAMANCA, N.Y. – Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel is excited to welcome the world-famous Budweiser® Clydesdales on Wednesday, Aug. 6. The event is free and open to the public, and takes place from noon to 2 p.m. outside the Salamanca, N.Y., casino resort. The eight magnificent horses — complete with a hitch, carriage and Dalmatian dog — will be
available for up-close viewing and photos. The Clydesdales first made an appearance in 1933 and heralded a new era of prosperity for Anheuser-Busch. They represent a “living embodiment of America’s great industrial spirit” and are a perennial fan-favorite among Super Bowl television ads. To qualify for one of the traveling hitches, each member of the team must stand at least 72 inches at the shoulder when fully mature, weigh between 1,800 and 2,300 pounds, have a reddish brown (bay) coat, four white legs, a white blaze, and a black mane and tail. The Clydesdales last visited Western New York during Memorial Day weekend, including a stop at Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel in Niagara Falls. Large crowds gathered for photos and videos of the “gentle giants,” which made several trips around the casino’s perimeter as well as quick journey down nearby Old Falls Street in the heart of downtown. The public is encouraged to arrive early for optimal viewing and interaction. Plenty of free parking is available at Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel along outdoor lots and the hotel parking ramp. Additional information about the event will be available soon at www. senecaalleganycasino.com.

Art Kits for Children Purchased Through Community Fund Grant The Cattaraugus County Arts Council expressed its sincere thanks to the Cattaraugus Region Community Foundation for funding a collaborative art kit project with the Southern Tier Child Advocacy Center this spring. CCAC has worked hard in the past year to expand new programming and collaborations with organizations outside of the arts and culture sector and this project was a wonderful opportunity for all involved. Located in Olean, the Southern Tier Child Advocacy Center works to provide a coordinated, multidisciplinary approach to child victims of sexual and physical abuse in Cattaraugus and Allegany counties. They provide a safe, child-friendly environment for interviews, medical examinations, and support and are committed to reducing trauma, promoting justice and fostering healing. Since the Southern Tier Child Advocacy Center opened in September 2007, it has helped more than 2,300 children and their families. Visual and written expression have been recognized as a means of providing stress relief, a source of pride and joy to the creators. Children are naturally creative and making

With that in mind, the arts council’s AmeriCorps Member, Kathryn Higgins, designed a program to provide art kits for the children served by the Child Advocacy Center. Each kit contains age-appropriate and safe items approved by Child Advocacy Center and includes sketchbooks, colored pencils, watercolor paints, crayons, stickers and more. Funding for this project

Kenia is about 10 years old. We don’t really know her age, because she has no idea when she was born. She has never gone to school and this sweet little girl has no connection to any family. I’m so glad she is now safe in Nana’s House! Child Protective Services is investigating her situation and is making a trip to the state where she claims to be from. It is by far the most mysterious case we have ever encountered. The important thing is that she is safe with us and is welcome to stay as long she needs refuge.

These are our beautiful children from Nana’s House in Tepic, Nayarit, Mexico. Juan Carlos is 5th from left. I was on my way to Alaska when I learned about 11-yearold Juan Carlos, who was being held in an adult prison in Mexico. I received a call from Maya, one of our pastors in Bucerias, who notified me that they had rescued him. Four days later, he ran away! Child Protective Services found him and brought Juan Carlos to us. He has been in Nana’s House for over a month. He’s adjusting and thriving. He’s learning to read and write and finally has hope for a bright future. There are very few — if any — orphanages that will accept teens in Nayarit, Mexico.

Often, when a child who has lived in an orphanage becomes a teenager, they are forced to leave. We are fighting some big battles lately, but we won’t give up! These teens are worth the effort. Thank you so much for supporting what we are doing in Nana’s House. So many good things are happening and we can’t do it without you. Founded in 2008, Nana’s House consists of three wonderful homes that enjoy the privilege of seeing lost and rejected kids turned into world changers. More at www. casanana.net.
Bob McCarthy is at it again bringing some unique entertainment to Ellicottville on Friday, July 18 as a kickoff to the Americana Folk Art & Music Fair. Remember Finnegan’s Wake last year, and Hillbilly Russian Roulette or Hillbilly Bingo in years past, well get ready for Dancin & Romancin capping off the Hillbilly NASCAR Race at the Rotary Auditorium and Ellicottville Town Center. The evening will start at 7 p.m. with six crazy Hillbilly racing teams driving souped up lawn tractors. Well souped up is really not a good description — “beat up” would be a better one. The racing teams will have to use all their ingenuity
to complete the course, which includes pit stops, hazards and some wild turns. Each team will race against each other and also be judged on the looks of both their machines and their racing outfits. I am sure that both will be over the top in this winner-take-all event. Following the race, the real fun begins for the crowd and the racing teams as we move into the Rotary Auditorium and onto the newly built for a good old hillbilly country get together featuring the fabulous Twobadours. Make sure you ask Bob their name for this great night with special guests. They will serenade the crowd in true hillbilly fashion, so bring your sweetie or grab one
that is there for some good old, down home dancin & romancin til the wee hours. This fun party will be full of McCarthy’s surprises and entertainment as only he can conjure up. Complimentary beer and shine (wine) will be served and it is only $10 per person. That is a great night for a summer Friday that all can afford. Sponsored by the Rotary Club, this is a don’tmiss-it event. A limited number of tickets will be sold, so pick up yours at the Gin Mill, Katy’s Café or E-ville Spirits as soon as you can. For more details, contact Bob at (716) 378-0916.

Upon completion of these renovations, it was time to bring in the performances. Next week, theater-goers can enjoy West Side Story, the popular musical about the forbidden love between Tony and Maria who are tied to two rival gangs. The plot, inspired by Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, is set in the New York City streets of the 1950’s. “The cast has approximately
35 to 40 actors, plus a 20 piece orchestra,” Marsh explained, “All the music will be live.” Cast members hail not only from Salamanca, but from all over Western New York and Pennsylvania. “This group of young people is so talented!” added Marsh. West Side Story show dates and times are Thursday, July 17 and Friday, July 18 at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, July 19 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, July 20 at 2 p.m. Tickets can be purchased for $15 at the door or at Parkview Supermarket in Salamanca, the Salamanca Public Library and
