and will do so Aug. 7–10 at Holiday Valley. The IBO was formed in 1984 to bring shooters together for a common purpose — to promote, encourage and foster the sport of bowhunting. According to Bryan Marcum, IBO president, “The nonprofit organization holds 3-D tournaments every year to bring shooters together for a common cause, to create camaraderie and to foster a good level of competition for likeminded people.” According to Ron Kubicki, who heads up the Holiday Valley course crew, “Shooters will be arriving early in the week, and will be able to Course Volunteers Needed shoot on the defensive range starting Monday, by Jennie Acklin The International Bowhunting Organization Aug. 4.

festival. The first Fiddle Fest was held in 2012 as part of the Town of Concord’s Bicentennial Celebration. For 2013, the name was changed slightly in order to recognize the early name for the Springville/Concord area, “Fiddler’s Green.” Six bands will provide continuous country and bluegrass music from noon to 6 p.m. City Fiddle, The Sunset Bluegrass Band and The Bluegrass Disciples will be performing at the Fiddler’s Green Park Gazebo. The John Boys, The Mercantile Musicians and the Niagara Frontier Fiddlers will complete the musical performances on the Concord Mercantile porch. An open acoustic jamming entertainment tent has been added for 2014. In addition, the festival
committee will have crafters, food vendors, a Colonial encampment in Fiddler’s Green Park and historical demonstrations such as blacksmithing, tinsmithing, butter churning and woodspoon carving throughout the festival area. Boy Scout Troop 524 will be providing Wendel’s famous chicken barbecue dinners at the Town Hall. The Pop Warner Historical Museum, the Concord Mercantile 1890’s General Store and the Historical Society Carriage House will be open all day for guided tours. The WNY Clogger Association will be conducting clogging workshops at the Town Hall, as well as offering clogging lessons for the general public upstairs in the Concord Town Hall at 1:15 p.m. The Springville Post Office will extend their lobby hours until 4 p.m. so visitors can step
inside to see the original 1938 Victoria Huntley “Fiddler’s Green” mural in the lobby. A community round and square dance will be held Saturday evening in the Town Hall from 6 - 9:30 p.m. Homemade Jam will provide the music for dancing and Pete Boberg will call the square dances. The WNY Cloggers Association will be performing during the intermission at the square dance and the winner of the 1975 Vintage Guild Guitar Raffle and the Fiddle Raffle will be announced. Refreshments, door prizes and raffle tickets will be available at the Saturday evening dance. Enjoy a fun-filled day and evening in the heart of the Springville—meet new people, hear some great music and dance the night away! For more information, call 592-4766 or email Jmaul2@ juno.com.
No Trophy Case? More Room for the Wine Rack For the 99.9 percent of the people on the planet who are not particularly great at anything, the payoff is that you don’t have to purchase a trophy case. Also, those big, honkin’ championship rings can really get in the way when you’re on the road and trying to communicate with a bad driver. With awards being the currency of today’s all-consuming fame game, the people who manufacture trophies can barely keep up with the number of new award shows popping up each year. Last year, Fox’s Teen Choice Awards featured Britney Spears and Adam Sandler, which shows there are so many awards being presented they’re running out of talented people to give them to. Last year, the cable TV network Nickelodeon created the Kid’s Choice Awards - “and the winner of the Best Highchair Food Fight is ...” Not to be outdone, the History Channel invented a prize for the best historical movies called the Harrys after Herodotus, the father of history. Boring? Anybody who has watched this TV award show and was still awake at the end of it wished they had called it “The Harry Houdinis” and made the whole thing disappear. Today, sales of plaques and trophies in Canada and the United States top $3 billion. In the beginning, trophies were rare, special and quite dramatic. Devised during the dawn of warfare, the very first trophy consisted of the severed head of the enemy impaled on a stick. I’m not suggesting we return to this practice, but it would sure boost the Nielsen ratings for the Super Bowl’s postgame show. “You know Phil, Peyton Manning doesn’t look all that intimidating without his body, but he’s still got that competitive fire in his eyes.”
In Southern California, there’s a youth soccer organization that hands out 3,500 trophies every season. Each player in the league gets one, while about a third of the kids wind up with two. Can you imagine if each and every one of them made an acceptance speech? The banquet would be longer than the soccer season! They’ll have to chase the little tykes off the stage with cattle prods when they begin thanking grandma and grandpa and first cousins. Trophies used to be coveted plaques carved from wood and plated with gold or silver and you had to do something extraordinary to win one. Today they’re made of tin and plastic and everybody gets one for showing up. Giving away hundreds of thousands of trophies in kids’ sports leagues every season only serves to ensure great attendance at the year-end banquets. In North America, ‘participation trophies’ do little more than reward children for underachieving and in doing so, kills their incentive to win something meaningful. Life is not a group hug or a sports league where everyone who signs on is an automatic winner. Sorry, but life is hard and frequently unfair, so losing and overcoming the losses is how we get better at playing the game. Kids that are constantly being congratulated for lame accomplishments are in for an earthquake of disappointment when they do have to face failure. And they will. Small failures along the way help kids handle the big ones down the line and make a real win all that much sweeter. A word of praise, a pat on the back, a hearty thumbs up, a slap on the bum - these are much more powerful motivators than a truckload of shiny trinkets made worthless by their ubiquity. I’d
like to know how many of those 3,500 soccer trophies hit the bottom of the garbage bins as the kids exit the hall. If all the horses in a race are allowed to celebrate in the winner’s circle, we’re going to need bigger winner’s circles. And next time out, why would any horse try to beat the competition since they all get to smell the roses and have their pictures taken anyway? California Chrome lost four of his first six races before he decided winning was a lot more fun and went on to win the Kentucky Derby. In the end, the goal of all people should be a full and productive life. You learn how to achieve that by being tripped up a whole bunch of times from behind but still battling forward to achieve that goal. Losing is how we learn, stumbling but still striving is how we earn special compensation for the effort. You don’t learn a helluva lot by standing on a podium with 2,000 fellow competitors, all congratulating each other on excellent attendance. Sorry to get preachy on you, but I’ve thought a lot about this while I was preparing my acceptance speech for the International Curmudgeon Society’s Sourpuss Of The Year. What the hell, it’s better than a poke in the eye, plus there’s a meal and some sort of plaque involved. For comments, ideas and copies of The True Story of Wainfleet, go to www.williamthomas.ca.
ECS Alumni Association Presents Awards to Timkey and Brown Widger Presented Plaque at Alumni Banquet By Mary Fox
The crowd was not as large and the chatter not as loud as last year, but it was the same happy sounds of classmates getting together to enjoy a dinner and reminisce about school days at Ellicottville Central School. The annual ECS alumni banquet was held at Tannenbaum Lodge at Holiday Valley on July 18. It is the tradition of the Alumni Association to bring together each year all graduated classes from ECS and to honor the five-year classes. The oldest class present was the graduation class of 1940, represented by Lucille Harris and Marjorie Fitzpatrick. “It’s nice to see all those kids I taught in school,” said Lucille who, after graduation, became a home economics teacher at ECS. The honored class of 1949 was represented by James Morton who was celebrating his 65th year since graduating from ECS. His advice to graduates aptly applies to us all. “If you want to do something, do it now ‘cause it can be too late,” he said. Other honored classes with members present were the Class of 1959 and the class of 1964. “The greatest goal of the Alumni Association,” said John Burrell, Alumni Association president, “is the awards we give to graduating seniors.” Last year, the Alumni Association was able to give two $300 awards. This year two $1,000 awards were given from the association’s awards fund. The Class of 1963 pledged last year to honor their 10 deceased members by donating funds for the awards. “Through the generosity of our classmates,” said Charles Marsh, “we made it possible to offer two $1,000 awards this year. The Class of 1963 pledges to give $1,000 to the Alumni Association each year for as many years as Lucille Harris possible and challenges other
Paul, Emily and Joanne Timkey classes to do so.” Marsh said he has given to his college for years and thinks his money will serve a better purpose given as an ECS Alumni Association award. “It’s a way to give back to the community and to our students,” he said. The awards were given for all-around academic achievement, extracurricular participation, community involvement and leadership. Last year’s recipients of the Alumni Association awards were Shannon Wilson and William Murphy. They presented this year’s awards to Gwendolyn Brown, daughter of Chris and Vicky Brown, and Emily Timkey, daughter of Paul and Joanne Timkey. “There were a lot of very smart, competitive kids this year. For a small school, there is a lot going on,” said Emily’s father, Paul Timkey. “All of the class graduated, an outstanding achievement compared to many other schools. Out of the 56 graduates, 46 went all through school together. “ In her senior year, Emily Timkey took college courses on Anatomy and Physiology and Medical Terminology, through the New Vision program for which she received college credits. Emily

plans to attend SUNY Geneseo this fall to major in biology. Her goal is a career in the medical profession. Emily worked with the Lounsbury Adaptive Ski Program. She was a member of the Odyssey of the Mind since fourth grade. In her junior year, her group went to the world competition. “I learned teamwork and getting along with other people,” she said. Gwendolyn Brown also participated in the New Vision program taking College English and Independent Study for Art. Both girls were members of the student council and National Honor Society as well as many extracurricular activities. Gwen will be attending Ontario College of Art & Design in Toronto. Her goal is to be a museum curator. One thing she liked about going to school in Ellicottville was being able to have oneon-one time with her teachers. Mark Ward commented on the unique decorations for the prom this year made by Gwen, her twin Isabella and their mom Vicky. Shannon Wilson has completed her first year at D’Youville College, the first of five years, to become a dietitian. “I miss my cool teachers and friends, but it’s great to be out on my own,” she said. Bill Murphy spent last year at JCC Olean taking core classes. Starting this year, he will be attending Clarkson for three more years for a mechanical engineering degree. One thing Bill liked about going to ECS was the closeness with other students. “Not only did we get to know kids in our own class, but practically the whole high school,” he said. Ward gave credit to Chris Matthews, the AV teacher, for putting all the ECS high school yearbooks on CDs. Each spans several years. They will be available for $5 at the reunions. Burrell presented a plaque sporting a large ECS Eagle to Pete Widger “in appreciation of his outstanding leadership as president and member of the Alumni Association.” The evening ended with a discussion about how to get more alumni to participate. “Let’s all work hard to get more people out next year,” said Burrell. “It is the perfect opportunity to catch up with your classmates as well as friends you made in other classes.”

Free DMV Test Prep 2014 by Eva Potter
Traditionally, summertime is filled with high school students taking drivers’ education courses to ready them for their road licensing driving tests. Before students can even take this course, they must pass the New York DMV written exam. If you are a teenager or adult taking the DMV written test for the first time, then this free educational app could help put you in the driver’s seat in no time. Taking the DMV test doesn’t have to be scary — not if you’re prepared. The New York DMV Test Prep 2014 app, available at https:// play.google.com/store/apps for Android phones and tablets, is a professionally designed study aid to be used specifically for the State of New York DMV exam. According to the app store, all the study material and practice questions are based on the latest New York DMV
Driver’s Manual. Nineteen topics including Alcohol and Drugs, Common Signs, Lane Changes and more are covered. The latest 2014 test questions — 254 of them — are generated randomly and you can choose to study in one of three test modes to suite your individual learning style.
With an upgrade, you can get 100 traffic sign questions. Each quiz simulates the 20-question NY DMV written knowledge test. View your quiz results and find out which areas may require more study. You can also track correct, incorrect and unattempted questions. Not into quizzes? Then opt to review all test questions at once. This app will display your chosen answer and the correct answer. The smart timer tracks how long it takes you to complete the test. The app works offline as well, so no Internet connection is required. Reviewer Fitroy Green posted online: “Great app. Once I purchased the app, I saw questions I never saw in the book but showed up on the test. Awesome learning tool.” Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars by users, the New York DMV Test Prep 2014 app is a great way to get started on the road to many years of safe driving.

property off I-86 for mixed-use development. The 100,000-plus square foot building would immediately require a new roof and façade. Interior spaces would be built out to suit potential tenants. Out-parcels on the property also would be considered. No potential tenants have been approached to date, Sprague said, “rumors on social media notwithstanding.” As part of his feasibility research, Sprague sought the support of the Cattaraugus County Industrial Development Agency at its board meeting on Tuesday, July 22. IDA backing under its Adaptive Reuse policy would provide tax relief for the project with an estimated cost of more than $3 million. The IDA board was wholeheartedly supportive of the idea. Board member Joseph Higgins, a resident of Allegany, said the community wants to see something done with the
location just off Exit 24, which is considered an eyesore at the “Gateway to St. Bonaventure University,” the town and village of Allegany, and Olean. Crystal Abers, director of economic development, planning and tourism for Cattaraugus County and a member of the CCIDA board, noted that this property has long been on the county’s radar for redevelopment. She told Sprague that “the county is willing to share and supervise in the project,” and will help “look to the state for funding opportunities.” CCIDA Executive Director Corey Wiktor noted that the property, which has been “largely vacant for 15-20 years,” is strategic not only for Allegany but for the entire region, and that the project is a long-term one that could have a long-term impact on the community. Town of Allegany Supervisor John Hare attended the meeting and said the potential project
would be “terrific” for the community. Previous attempts to redevelop the property failed for various reasons — the lack of municipal water and sewer to the site being a major hindrance. He noted that water was extended to Exit 24 four years ago. Sewer remains an issue, he said, but this project could provide the impetus to get that funded and done. Sprague said he has until the end of August to opt out of the contract with property owner Donald Benson. However, he will be meeting with the Town of Allegany Planning Board on Monday, Aug. 11 and hopes to be able to make a decision that week. The CCIDA board approved resolutions to schedule a public hearing and to begin the State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) of the site. The next meeting of the CCIDA board will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 16 at 11:15 a.m. at the CCIDA offices at 9 East Washington St. in Ellicottville.

IBO Championships Continued from Front Page
at the tubing park, and all coordinators agreed that it would be a better event to have everything together, so we moved the practice ranges to Holiday Valley this year. There will be four ranges of 10 targets each around Spruce Lake and Mutton Hollow Road, open Monday, Aug. 4 through Saturday, Aug. 9.” The Holiday Valley crew has spent hundreds of hours since April preparing for the IBO’s return. “Three new courses of 20 targets each had to be relocated from HoliMont, due to construction and development of WestMont Ridge. And due to the growth at Sky High, one new course of another 20 targets had to be
relocated”, said Kubicki. The crew works closely with Gene Bihler, an IBO event coordinator, and Bob Koontz of the IBO, on course design, layout, location and numerous other details. “New Rinehart targets have been arriving for a few weeks now, and some of the new targets include a caribou, a wolverine, and a coyote. Targets are approximately threequarter size, 3-D replications of animals found in the wild including mule deer, white tail deer, elk, grizzly and cinnamon bears, various mountain goats and mountain sheep, alligators, razorback hogs, cougars, black panthers, leopards and turkeys. “Our job is to place them in their most natural environment
and in challenging terrain according to the required distances for each class,” Kubicki explained. During IBO events, spectators can visit the vendor tradeshow based at Yodeler lodge every day. The Championship shoot on Sunday can also be watched by the public.
Volunteers Needed Anyone interested in helping out at the volunteer tents, where competitors register, get start times and check scores, is encouraged to contact Donna Hallick at Holiday Valley. Call (716) 699-2345, ext. 4401, for more information. Volunteers are needed each day of the event.

Mansfield Hwy. Dept. Continued from Front Page
During the meeting, board members Nancy Meeder and Robert Schmidt (two other members, Larry Johnson and Greg Meyer, were absent) were updated on the status of a number of ongoing topics and issues. Town Supervisor Bob Keis reported that representatives from Mansfield and other Cattaraugus County municipalities that applied to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for assistance after spring flooding are meeting with agency representatives this week to be briefed on its decision to help fund repairs. He and Town Highway Superintendent Brad Hurley will report back to the board on results of that meeting next month. Keis also reported on the following. Kent Road Bridge: Keis and representatives from the county are scheduled to meet to try to determine ownership of the bridge. While the bridge
is safe for traffic, no one is certain yet who is responsible for needed repairs. Keis, who believes it is a county bridge, hopes the issue will be resolved during that meeting so that funding can be included in next year’s county budget. Board Review of Ledgers: Keis explained that the town’s auditors suggested that, while the board has always reviewed monthly financial reports of the general and highway department budgets, the monthly ledgers of line-by-line expenditures also should be shared. Keis did so at the July meeting and will continue to do so going forward. Streetlight District in Eddyville: At the request of several Eddyville residents, Keis looked into what it would take to install streetlights along Toad Hollow Road through the hamlet. After determining that the residents would be wholly responsible for paying for the installation of lights and their operation, residents rejected the idea.
Time Warner Cable: Keis and board member Robert Schmidt said they met with a marketing representative from Time Warner Cable. They hoped to learn about the company’s long-term expansion plans for the area and, specifically, for the town. Unfortunately, the representative “was completely unprepared,” said Schmidt, and was unable to answer their questions, but would get back to Keis and Schmidt by Aug. 10. Schmidt said he will stay on top of the issue; Keis felt they are at least “getting closer to getting the information we need.” In addition to discussion of the above, the board reappointed Annie Widger and Alan Stocker to the Town Planning Board for seven-year terms and Glenn Sanders and Stocker to the Zoning Board of Appeals for five-year terms. The next meeting of the Mansfield Town Board will be held on Monday, Aug. 18 at 7 p.m. at the municipal building. All are welcome to attend.

The annual Lucille Ball Comedy Festival is returning to Ball’s hometown of Jamestown, N.Y., on Aug. 6-10, having started in the early ‘90s with the likes of Ellen DeGeneres, Ray Romano and Lewis Black. The festival will feature 25 performers including headline comedians Jay Leno, Tom Cotter and Caroline Rhea. More than 50 events will take place during the five-day festival, which celebrates Ball’s vision for Jamestown as a community that fosters, supports and highlights contemporary comedy. For information on all festival events, or to purchase ticket visit www. lucycomedyfest.com or call Festival box office (716)4840800. Jay Leno, world-renowned for his ratings domination as host of “The Tonight Show,” will be performing in front of a sold-out audience in Jamestown on Aug. 9. Leno is an acclaimed TV late night show host, beloved standup comedian, best-selling children’s book author, pioneering car builder and mechanic, philanthropist, and has been widely characterized as “the hardest working man in show business.” Lucie Arnaz will return to the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival as the featured musical guest during Jay Leno’s performance on Aug. 9. Arnaz has had an extremely diversified career spanning over 45 years in show business, and has achieved success wearing the hats of producer, singer, actor and director. In addition to her performance, a meet-andgreet cocktail reception will be held at the Lucille Ball Desi
Arnaz Museum (2 W. 3rd St.) immediately following the show. Tom Cotter, who will be performing at the Reg Lenna Center for the Arts on Aug. 8, recently became the first comedian to ever reach the finals of NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” and his runner-up finish on the show has catapulted him to the comedic stratosphere. Before “America’s Got Talent,” Cotter won the Seattle International Comedy Competition, the grand prize at the Boston Comedy Festival and was voted Best StandUp at the Las Vegas Comedy Festival. Comedian Kerri Louise, who has appeared on “Last Comic Standing” and The Oprah Winfrey Show, will be the opening performance prior to husband Tom. On the evening of Aug. 7, a Stand-Up Showcase headlined by Caroline Rhea and featuring Moody McCarthy, Carmen Lynch and Andrew Norelli will take place at the Reg Lenna Center for the Arts. In celebration of the healing powers of laughter, this performance is free for all U.S. military past and present for their service to our country. Rhea, who starred in “Sabrina, the Teenage Witch” and is a former host of “The Biggest Loser” and “The Caroline Rhea Show,” will headline the showcase and be joined by three rising comedians whose credentials include performances on Leno, Letterman, Conan and more. Three nights of Late-Night Comedy will take place at the Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Museum from Aug. 7-9, featuring rising young talent from across the country. A live comedy album will be
recorded by San Franciscobased Rooftop Comedy for a second consecutive year, and featured performers include Sean Donnelly, Chet Wild, Rick Matthews, Jarwan Nelson, Emma Willmann, Mike Brody, Pete Lee, Mike Cody and Tony Deyo. A Lucy Fashion Show with Emmy-Award winning costume designer Ret Turner, sponsored by the Dykeman Young Gallery & Vintage Emporium, will take place on Aug. 9. Turner, one of Lucille Ball’s favorite costume designers, headed the NBC Studios’ wardrobe department for 20 years, and his work has been worn by Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett, Billy Crystal, Neil Diamond, Jean Stapleton and scores of others. This free fashion show will showcase 10 new Lucy-inspired dresses and the launch of a brand new Vintage Boutique fashion line. Additional events taking place during the five-day festival include hometown bus tours, candy wrapping, lunch and dinner shows with the world’s premier I Love Lucy impersonators, comedy workshops, free family comedy with comedian Nels Ross, museum artifact unveilings, Lucy outdoor viewing parties, free comedy happy hours, block parties before and after headline shows and more. The National Comedy Center in Jamestown, projected to open in 2016, is envisioned as a multi-media complex providing a personalized celebration of all forms of comedy.

Cemetery Tour Continued from Front Page
Collette Morris of Macedon, N.Y., and Rachel Morton of West Valley, N.Y., will be entertaining visitors. “People will meet many characters that have lived in the past, tour Ellicottville’s history and have a great time,” explained Max Paddock, an ECS junior who is participating in this year’s cemetery tour. “It’s a very educational and different learning experience great for anyone. I highly recommend coming and having a ‘blast from the past’ in the Jefferson Cemetery tour.” Two tour times, 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., will be offered. Tickets can be purchased that day at the Ellicottville Historical Museum on Washington Street. The cost is $10 for adults and $5 for children. Wagon rides will be provided to and from the cemetery. Paddock, who is not related to his character, will be
portraying Chauncy Vibbard. “He lived in Ellicottville all his life and helped his father who was a drayman, a driver of a low wagon used to transport goods,” said Paddock. “Chauncy died at the age of 17, but he enjoyed reading and playing with his friends.” That day, both the Ellicottville Historical Museum (2 Washington St.) and St. John’s Episcopal Church (at Jefferson and Washington streets) will be open to tour from 1–4 p.m. The United Church of Ellicottville (53 Elizabeth St.) will host an ice cream social open to all from 1–4 p.m. The public is also invited to a 5 p.m. joint service between St. John’s Episcopal Church and United Church of Ellicottville to be held at St. John’s. Many citizens buried in the Jefferson Street Cemetery attended these churches.
The Jefferson Street Cemetery Committee has worked diligently the past four years to preserve and restore the headstones and monuments in the cemetery. Carucci said, “Since 2010, we have had the cemetery listed on the National Register of Historic Places. All but 35 headstones and monuments have been cleaned.” An unveiling ceremony was held last November for the sign placing the cemetery on the National Register of Historic Places. On July 23, a new cemetery sign and a new headstone, for 46 people buried there that do not have headstones, were installed, according to Carucci. Proceeds of the Walking Tour benefit the Jefferson Street Cemetery Fund, which helps pay for maintenance and beautification projects.
Ray Evans Theater Presents “Love Letters” Aug. 1 The newly renovated Ray Evans Theater in Salamanca is keeping its string of exciting live performances going with “Love Letters” on Aug. 1, at 7:30 p.m. The show is free to the general public. “Love Letters,” written by A.R. Gurney in 1989, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for drama. The bittersweet and moving story, told through lifelong correspondence between prominent socialites Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III, is read by Burnell Shively and Martin Wilde. Martin Wilde began directing in 1978 at The Barn, in Montville, NJ, where his major productions include “A View from the Bridge,” “The Rose Tattoo,” “The Shadow Box,” “The elephant Man, “Da,” “Orphans,”
