Dog Days of Summer Filled with Excitement Fabulous Fairs, Festivals and Food
By Jann Wiswall
With summer fun time now in full swing, you need look no further than the Ellicottville area for a slew of great events to keep you active and entertained all August long. If you’re coming into town to see “Michael Israel: The Art of Rescue” at Ellicottville Brewing Company this weekend, you’re one of the lucky ones. The show is sold out for the heart-pounding, one-of-a-kind art and music experience whose proceeds will benefit the Holiday Valley and HoliMont Ski Patrols. But while you’re here, be sure to check out the Cattaraugus County Fair in nearby Little Valley. This family-friendly, week-long annual event (through Aug. 3) features all the agricultural displays, rides and great food you’d expect, as well as monster truck rallies, demolition derbies, and more. Visit www.cattarauguscofair. com. And beginning Aug. 2, you can get a breathtaking view of the entire region by taking Holiday Valley’s Spruce Lake chairlift to the top of the mountain. For just $5, you can ride up and back down or hike Pete’s Trail back to the base. Rides are available weekends from 11 a.m.–5 p.m. through Oct. 19. Kids under age 2 ride free. Call (716) 699-4444.

The event is a combined effort between the park and the Cattaraugus County Arts Council, and the result is a fantastic, familyfriendly experience. “This will be our sixth year coordinating the event with the staff from Allegany State Park,” said Heather Carroll, communications and events manager for the Cattaraugus County Arts Council. “We are always happy to work with them and we enjoy a wonderful partnership. Every other year we organize an auction during the beach party (our next one will be in 2015) and all proceeds help fund our free series of art classes in the park each summer.” While the scenery of the lake, beach and See Music, Art and Nature page 8

Preliminary engineering plans for the 150-acre Gestion Blueberry Lake development off Poverty Hill Road were reviewed in detail by the Town
of Ellicottville Planning Board at its Monday, July 28 meeting. Town Planner Carol Horowitz led the meeting, asking the board to go through the State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) short-form questions one by one to determine what issues
still need to be addressed by engineering firm Nussbaumer & Clarke (N&C). The bulk of the SEQR questions were answered to the board’s satisfaction and were not judged to have any “significant environmental See Blueberry Lake Plat page 5
Blueberries by the Bushel It’s Picking Time all Over Cattaraugus County By Eva Potter
Blueberry season is upon us. From now through the early part of September, you can pick blueberries all around the region. There are dozens of blueberry varieties, many of them grown locally, each possessing a unique flavor. Blueberries are one of
“three fruits native to North America,” according to the U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council. (The others are cranberries and Concord grapes, in case you wanted to know.) These berries don’t ripen after harvesting, so be sure to See Blueberry Time, page 4

Griffis Sculpture Park’s 2nd Annual Summer Festival Aug. 17 Zydeco, Blues, Jam, Americana, Roots and Folk Music Featured
By Alicia Dziak
Music, art, nature and fun! The Griffis Sculpture Park will celebrate a day of creativity, where all these things collide, at the second annual Griffis Sculpture Park (GSP) Summer Festival on Sunday, Aug. 17, from noon until 6:30 p.m. “In its first year, it was a wonderful time for families, couples, friends, and we are sure to recreate this and then some for our second annual event!” said Nila Griffis, executive director of the Ashford Hollow Foundation, which runs Griffis Sculpture Park and the Essex Arts Center (EAC). Highlighting the event will be musical performances from some of the region’s best musicians — Black Rock Zydeco, Workingmans Dead and Folk Faces — encompassing a variety of musical genres, including zydeco (Cajun/creole dance music), blues, jam, Americana, roots and folk. Admission will also include tours of the park. What better way to learn about the park and sculptures than from the staff? “We will be doing two tours throughout the event and our staff will lead the tours — Zack Boehler and Mark Griffis,” explained
Griffis. “The tours will be approximately 30-45 minutes ... and we will focus on the upper hill around the stage area.” In addition, the festival will feature children’s crafts and activities, artists creating works, a scavenger hunt, a drum circle, poetry readings and more. The events will take place at the Mill Valley side of the park (follow signs from Route 219 in Ashford Hollow, about halfway between Ellicottville and Springville). “The parking for the event will be at the 6902 Mill Valley entrance — however, this year, unlike last year, we will be providing a shuttle to the top of the hill where the concert and activities will take place,” said Griffis. Of course, guests can also choose to walk one of the meandering, hilly pathways to the stage. Guests are encouraged to bring blankets and a picnic if they wish. There will also be a food vendor providing various grilled items, and a beer and wine garden on-site. Proceeds from the festival will benefit the Ashford Hollow Foundation.
“The mission of the Ashford Hollow Foundation, who owns and operates Griffis Sculpture Park and the Essex Arts Center, is to promote the visual and performing arts,” Griffis said. “In the past, the foundation has held several music and art performances at both GSP and the EAC with performances by bands including The Band, 10,000 Maniacs, The Lowest of the Low and The Skydiggers, just to name a few. The foundation wanted to get back to our roots and make sure we live up to our mission statement by hosting annual musical events at both GSP and the EAC.” Tickets will be available at the door or presale on www. griffispark.org. Admission is $10 for adults, and free for kids 12 and under. Tickets will be available at the door or presale at www. griffispark.org. Gates open on Aug. 17 at 11 a.m., so get there early to enjoy the park. Take advantage of this great opportunity to check out the country’s largest sculpture park in a beautiful setting, all while supporting the arts. For more information and festival updates, visit their Facebook page or www.griffispark.org.

Free Art Workshops at Allegany State Park Woodland Fairy Houses and Flower Friends, Journaling and Drawing Whether you are a camper looking for something to do or are in the mood for a creative day trip, Allegany State Park is your imagination destination. A series of free art workshops are available to the public as a result of a collaborative program between Allegany State Park and the Cattaraugus County Arts Council. All classes are free and open to the public, but anyone under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult 16 years and older. Woodland Fairy House and Flower Friends will take place Aug. 7, 1–3 p.m. with instructor Julie Mader. Fairies are the tiniest of creatures and to see them it takes a little faith and the right habitat. In this two-hour workshop, learn how to construct a fairy house using twigs, bark, leaves, pine needles, pebbles and other gifts from nature. Participants
will create a wonderful habitat for the state park fairies who will love finding a cozy spot to relax. We will also make little flower friends (fairy dolls), who will make the journey home with you from the park. This class fills extremely quickly and is very popular with the younger set. This class is for ages 8 and up (because grownups love fairies too), and ages 5–7 are eligible to come with an adult. Park It and Draw takes place Aug. 14, noon–2 p.m. with instructor Todd Plough, and is suitable for ages 16 and up. The workshop will cover every aspect of drawing relative to making a successful drawing, as well as how to use the provided materials. The drawing will be done in both black and white charcoal on a rough surface newsprint paper. The artists will learn about composition and how to achieve atmospheric effects along with how to emphasis their subject. On Aug. 1 and Aug. 21, sign up for Nature Journaling:
Taking a Closer Look at What We See. From 10–11 a.m., Reese Peacock will instruct kids ages 8–12. Journaling is a great way to record and recreate an image or artifact from nature. In this one-hour workshop, children will be introduced to art while taking inspiration from nature and the surrounding landscape. Children will be taught how to look at an object and how to draw what they see using a variety of drawing techniques. Classes are held at the Warming Hut at the Summit Cabin Loop, across from Art Roscoe cross-country ski trails. From I-86, take exit 21 into the park and proceed to the top of the hill. The hut will be on your right, across from the parking lot. Register for these summer art classes by calling the Cattaraugus County Arts Council at (716) 372-7455 at least 24 hours in advance to reserve your seat. Class space is limited and requires registration.
Kustom Kruise-In VI Aug. 9 Gowanda HarleyDavidson’s annual Kustom Kruise-In VI takes place Saturday, Aug. 9 at 2535 Gowanda Zoar Road in Gowanda. The annual event, celebrating classic American iron, is open free of charge to owners and enthusiasts of pre1985 old school cool bobbers, choppers, rat rods, hot rods and gassers. Registration is from 10 a.m. to noon, with popular voting taking place noon to 2 p.m. Awards will be handed out at 2:30 p.m., followed by a police-escorted cruise to Dunkirk Pier. It’s free too for fans to dress their best, come hang out and vote for their favorites too — garage shirts and pomade for the gents, pin up dress for the ladies. An interview with Gowanda H-D’s marketing and sales manager Delaney Peters revealed the following. In its sixth year, what has made the Kustom KruiseIn such a fun and popular event? It never really set out to be anything more than a fun afternoon of “old souls” and young-at-heart customizers hanging out and having fun. In 2009 when this got started, times were tough (and still are locally for many) but customizers don’t give up their
passion. At the time, we started seeing other different and amazing garage-built customs and restored classics, both cars and bikes, young customizers were doing in the area popping up at cruise nights and events. The style was a bit reminiscent of days gone by and that sparked a lot of interest across the generations. The Kustom Kruise-In became a gathering for customizers to inspire and mentor each other. What’s new this year? The unmistakable bluesinfused, rock-a-billy sound of The Heavenly Chillbillies has been a main draw at Coney Island’s Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest for years, and now they’re bringing it to Gowanda Harley-Davidson. Since the beginning, after the show we take a nice scenic police escorted cruise over to the Dunkirk Pier. Why the Dunkirk Pier? As many local kustom and performance enthusiasts will tell you, that has always been the impromptu place to “cruise-in” throughout the years. Since this event draws from all across New York and Pennsylvania, we’re letting others discover one of our favorite spots as well. Why pre-1985 American cars and bikes? When a car or bike gets to be 25–30 years old, it has the perspective of a time gone

by. Stories are told centered around its journeys and modifications. The average guy or gal with some tools and a little know-how really can do unique and creative designs. The Kustom KruiseIn is just a fun way to bring these artists together. While we honor the uniquely American heritage of customizing classic American iron, we won’t discriminate though if any foreign or “metric” bikes or cars come in. We are all customizers at heart and all are welcome! How can I get involved in motorcycling? For men and women alike, riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle has never been more popular. HarleyDavidson offers several new models designed intentionally for those just starting out. But first, you need to get licensed, and Gowanda Harley-Davidson has all the information you need on accredited local rider training schools. Long after you start out, we continue to support you with award-winning service, functional riding apparel, genuine replacement parts and accessories, plus a welcoming Harley Owners Group who are happy to mentor new riders and much more.
Fort Erie Racetrack Where Horses Just Want To Have Fun I was just 15 years old, living in a dot on the map called Dain City, when I had a vague notion that there was a beautiful and exciting racetrack 20 minutes away, at which horses raced on summer afternoons and people went to bet on them. Gambling being one of the few vices my father did not practise, I never got to the Fort Erie Racetrack as a kid. I made up for it after my first year at university when I found out the hard way that betting on the horses was not the same as a summer job in that the money was going the wrong way. But in the late summer of ‘61, even people who cared little or knew nothing about Fort Erie — then and now one of the most stunning setting for horse racing in North America—had heard of Puss n Boots. He was the horse who became instantly famous for taking a swim in the middle of a thoroughbred race. Puss n Boots, trained by the great horseman Frank Merrill, was brought to Fort Erie from Gulfstream Park in Florida, where he had earned the reputation of a promising sprinter but a bit of a nutter. During one outing, a piece of paper flying around the Florida track had sent him into a tailspin and he almost jumped the rail to get away from it. It was a hot September afternoon at Fort Erie, the beautiful racetrack set around shimmering infield lakes with well-trimmed shrubs and flowers in full bloom. Puss n Boots was actually leading by five lengths at the top of the stretch on the mile-and-one-sixteenth turf course when the jockey slapped his butt ... right-handed. Apparently, the horse was fine with a whack on his left cheek but never the right one. The jockey either hadn’t been told or forgot about this particular peculiarity.
Freaked and looking to flee the track, Puss n Boots spotted a narrow opening in the hedge that circled the turf course, used mainly by the groundskeepers to enter the infield where they watered the plants and trimmed the shrubs. At full speed, and carrying a very startled Ronnie Behrens on his back, Puss n Boots shot the gap. The quick left turn sent the jockey airborne over the horse’s head as his mount made a beeline for the nearest infield lake. Sprawled on the grass, the jockey looked like he was starring in a cartoon that carried the caption: “Riding - the art of keeping the horse between you and the ground.” Did I mention it was also a very hot day? Nearing the water, the horse hit the brakes as a silent and disbelieving crowd of over 14,000 people in the grandstand watched Puss n Boots slide slowly and inelegantly into the lake, butt-first. Trust me, when a bettor puts a wad of money on a rising star like Puss n Boots, expecting him to win the race, the last thing he wants to hear from the horse is the sound of a really big splash. Immediately, Ronnie Behrens jumped into the lake to save his horse until ... until he remembered he could not swim. Immediately, trainer Frank Merrill went thrashing into the lake to save his jockey until ... until he remembered he too could not swim. With one horse and two men now flailing away in deep water, the entire starting gate crew first kicked off their shoes, stripped down to their skivvies and then plunged into the lake like a team of very pale lifeguards. Although the gate guys hauled the jockey and trainer out of the drink, that horse just wanted to have fun. Leisurely, he swam in circles in the middle of the lake
like it was his private backyard pool. Horse racing is supposed to be a serious business, not a day at the beach. A big horse, a small skiff, three guys mostly naked and nobody, nobody said: “You’re gonna need a bigger boat?!?” It took a man in a row boat and the starting crew almost an hour to get a hold of Puss n Boots and lead him to land, at which time he got a standing ovation. Thousands of people showed up to watch a horse race and a swim meet broke out! This amazing moment in horse racing history is commemorated annually with Fort Erie’s $30,000 Puss n Boots Circle the Course, coming up on Sunday, Aug.31 after which the winners — jockey, trainer and owners but no, not the horse — jump into that same infield lake. Although the horse is long gone, the track lives on and is experiencing a bit of a renaissance. Running eight races every Tuesday and Sunday, people are starting to pack the place again. On Twilight Tuesdays and a post time of 4:15 p.m., the apron is crowded, the restaurant is full and hundreds stay to hear the band play into the summer night. There’s no better way to remember summer than a long and languid afternoon at the track. Try it. I guarantee you’ll like it. Just don’t bet what I’m betting, okay?

The grayishlooking “dust” you see on the berries is a harmless natural protectant, but it is a good idea to ask growers if they use pesticides. If you’re looking for a delicious, sweet snack without all the guilt, then blueberries are an excellent choice. They are cholesterol and fat free and 1 cup only contains about 84 calories. And not only are these purple jewels of the season pretty, but they are also loaded with antioxidants
and micronutrients including vitamin C and K, and minerals like manganese. You can incorporate blueberries into just about any dish including salads and dressings, desserts, cold soups, and, of course, eating them out of hand. Looking for new blueberry recipes to add to your collection? See page ___ for this week’s Blueberry-LemonYogurt Muffin recipe. Freshly picked blueberries will last up to two weeks in the refrigerator covered and stored in rigid containers to prevent
crushing. Then get creative by canning, freezing or drying them so you can enjoy their goodness year round. Water accelerates deterioration, so if you must wash them, be sure to dry them before storing. So what are you waiting for? Go alone or make it a family event — it’s a great way to spend time with the kids. And bring your own storage containers for transport home, as most farms don’t provide them. Just be sure you go before the first frost when the season is officially over.

impacts.” Several questions, however, remain to be addressed by N&C engineer Andy Gow and/or Town Engineer Mark Alianello. SEQR Question 5: Will the proposed action result in an adverse change in the existing level of traffic or affect existing infrastructure for mass transit, biking or walkway? The board noted two issues here that need to be addressed: 1. The Finger Lakes Trail may or may not go through the property. If it does, it must be accommodated. 2. Sight distances at the intersection of Poverty Hill Road and the new road must be evaluated in the interest of traffic safety. SEQR Question 7: Will the proposed action impact existing public/private water supplies or public/private wastewater treatment utilities? Individual wells and septic for each of the 20 home sites on the property must be provided. Both Alianello and Gow had consulted with a well driller who felt, based on experience in the area, that the chances are good that water will be available, but acknowledged that “you never know until you put a hole in the ground.” Alianello felt that it is reasonable to “conclude
you’ll have the water you need for 20 homes on 150 acres.” Gow will consider the merits of digging a test well. SEQR Question 8: Will the proposed action impair the character or quality of important historic, archaeological, architectural or aesthetic resources? Board member Sheri Barrera expressed concern about roofs being visible from a distance above the trees along the ridgeline. Horowitz and Alianello felt that was unlikely, but asked Gow to ensure it would not be an issue. Town Attorney Kathleen Moriarty suggested that the issue could be resolved if rules for building height were specified in the Home Owners Association document that is being prepared. SEQR Question 10: Will the proposed action result in an increase in the potential for erosion, flooding or drainage problems? Alianello and Gow have been working together to address Alianello’s concerns about adequate drainage. These issues will be solved to his satisfaction. SEQR Question 11: Will the proposed action create a hazard to environmental
resources or human health? The board’s concern here was related to traffic safety at the new intersection, also noted in question 5. The board and its advisors felt that all of these remaining questions could be adequately addressed in time for next month’s meeting, so they felt confident about scheduling a public hearing on the preliminary engineering plans for that meeting. That hearing will be held on Monday, Aug. 25 at 6 p.m. in the Village/ Town Hall. Under new business, Alianello relayed a request from the town board asking for the planning board’s support of its recommendation to rezone a small, 100-foot-wide strip of land along Route 219, north of the Tim Hortons restaurant, from its current conservation district status to low-density zoning. The land is adjacent to the East Tank site and a few private property owners. Current zoning, Alianello remarked, was “odd to begin with.” The change will make no material difference in land use there. The planning board moved to support the zoning change.

Letter to the Editor Thank You Ms. Gail Carucci, Irish Hill Road, Ellicottville, NY 14731 July 28, 2014 Dear Gail: On behalf of the Ellicottville Town Board and the entire community, let me thank you for all your hard work for the Ellicottville Historical Society as the Jefferson Street Cemetery Restoration Project Chairperson. Your efforts brought many volunteers and contractors together over a four year period and the results are truly amazing. People have no idea the hours that you have put in. The research, GPS mapping, sonar mapping, photography, marker and monument restoration, placement on both State and Federal Historic Registers, stonewall restoration and the new iron sign. In addition, the new memorial marker which lists people who are known to have been buried there but either never had a marker or whose markers may have been lost over the years is the crowning glory. This past weekend’s tours, enactments and services were well attended and I enjoyed participating. The Jefferson Street Cemetery truly enhances our gateway into the Village. Thanks to you, our community can take pride in this cemetery for years to come. Sincerely, TOWN OF ELLICOTTVILLE John A. Burrell Town Supervisor

WW I Memorabilia on Display at Olean Public Library Olean, N.Y. — The Olean Public Library will be displaying World War I memorabilia Aug. 1–30. This year marks the 100th Anniversary of WWI. Photographs, artillery, soldier apparel and information related to local soldiers who fought in WWI will be displayed. Over 500,000 men from the state of New York enlisted during World War I. Of those that enlisted, about 15,800 were from Cattaraugus County. Two soldiers who had local ties to Olean, Lieutenant Leland J. Hagadorn and Private Ole Olson, both died in the line of duty.
Hagadorn was a well-known young man in Olean — a 1912 graduate of Olean High School, who played basketball and football, and attended Yale University. He enrolled in the aviation service and trained at Cornell Aviation School in Ithaca. He went to France in August of 1917 to complete his training. Hagadorn died less than one year later at the young age of 24 in an airplane accident. Private Ole B. Olson, enlisted in Company I on June 7, 1917. Olson trained at Wadsworth Spartanburg, S.C., during the winter months and then went overseas in the
spring of 1918. Olson was killed in action on Sept. 29, 1918, at the age of 23. World War I (1914-1918), became known as “The War to End All Wars.” This tumultuous time in history brought forth different and devastating forms of warfare, countless deaths and changed the course of world history forever. The Olean Public Library is located at 134 N. 2nd St. in Olean. Summer hours are Monday–Thursday 9 a.m.–9 p.m., Friday 9 a.m.–6 p.m., and closed Saturday and Sunday.

Run, Bike and Get Dirty! Dirty Duathlon and Trail Run at Holiday Valley August 31 By Alicia Dziak
August will go out with a bang if you’re one of the strong participating in the 2014 Dirty Duathlon or Dirty Bit Trail Run. Both events take place on the slopes of Holiday Valley on Aug. 31. The Dirty Duathlon, beginning at 10 a.m., encompasses a run/bike format, starting with a onelap, 4.2-mile trail run. At the transition/start/finish area, athletes proceed through the timing area and switch to mountain bikes to complete two similar laps on bikes. (The transition area contains racks where bikes/gear is stored during the race.) Helmets are mandatory for mountain bikers. The Dirty Bit Trail Run is a separately scored, run-only
event that starts with the Dirty Duathlon athletes at 10 a.m. and competes on the same 4.2mile course. The racecourse begins and ends at Holiday Valley’s Mountain Sports Center and takes athletes over steep uphills and downhills, much of it singletrack and on a variety of terrain. There are no obstacles or manmade features — the race boasts “no gimmicks...just Mother Earth’s trails” — for a truly challenging and scenic experience. Both events are chip timed and awards will be given in the following competition groups: Dirty Duathlon — Overall Male/Female and Overall Team; Top 3 teams in Male, Female and Co-Ed categories; Solo: U19, 20-29, 30-39, 4049, 50+.
Dirty Bit Trail Run — Overall Male, Female and Masters M/F, Super Seniors 60+; Top three: U19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50+. Pre-registration is $25 for the trail run, $40 for duathlon solo competitors and $50 for duathlon tag teams. T-shirts are guaranteed to the first 200 entrants and as they last on race-day. Race day registration is available beginning at 8 a.m. at the Mountain Sports Center, space permitting. Number pickup begins at 8 a.m. on race day as well. The race concludes with a party, lunch and amazing door prizes. For more information, or to pre-register for the races, visit www.heartrateup.com.

Realty. According to realtor Cathleen Pritchard, who with daughter and fellow realtor Melanie, has four buyers closing on seven of the sold lots in the next few weeks, potential buyers have been “waiting in the wings for the road to open up and be able to see the lots.” She expects them to sell quickly. The asking price is $165,000 per lot. Along with the home sites, HoliMont cut a new 15-acre slope adjacent to the new lots a bit sooner than expected in order to accommodate National Fuel’s need to relocate a gas line. The slope will not be ready for skiers this winter, but when it is, it will be lit for night skiing. Meanwhile, engineering firm Nussbaumer & Clarke is working on infrastructure
designs (water, sewer, grading, etc.) for 18 new condominium buildings with four units each (72 total) that are planned at the base of the Sunset area. The firm expects to seek approval of final plans from the Town of Mansfield Planning Board in the fall. The condominium buildings are being designed by Weber, Murphy, Fox (WMF), a large architecture firm with offices in Erie, Pa., and elsewhere. The building exteriors, too, will be subject to approval by the architectural design review committee. Construction costs and selling prices of the condominiums will not be established until after the project goes out to bid. Riley expects that buyers will have considerable flexibility with
regard to interior layouts of their individual units. WestMont Ridge is part of a $22 million expansion project for HoliMont, which will include significant amenities and upgrades to the resort including more new slopes in the Sunset area; a new lodge; “Park & Pipe” terrain with lighted, nighttime hours; a new beginner-friendly ski area; a state-of-the-art, highspeed detachable lift; a Nordic Center for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing; parking and more. The Phase 1 property sale has funded the infrastructure work needed to begin Phase 2, which includes the condominiums and, further down the road, another 63 single-family home sites.

Main St. in Springville, N.Y. Adam’s unique style makes for quite an interesting group of work best described as a blend of old-school flash art with a touch of underground
comics and a hint of graffiti. This combo makes for one wild show. Adam works as a tattoo artist at White Tiger Tattoo shop in Rochester, NY. You can see his work at http:// adamfrancey.com. This show will hang until Aug. 30. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday 1–6 p.m. For more information about this artist and exhibition visit http://www.vanoverfinearts. blogspot.com.

surrounding lush forest is enough to draw a crowd, the beach party offers many other ways to entertain. (See page 4 for free workshops at the park.) According to Carroll, this year’s event will include a performance from alternative country band, The Hootn’Anges. Originally from western New York, the four-piece band has gained considerable attention on national radio and is currently preparing for a cross-country tour. And music’s not all the evening has to offer! “In addition to fantastic live music, the Full Moon Family Beach Party offers a
host of activities for the whole family including arts and crafts activities for kids, face painting, a limbo contest, and more,” Carroll added. “We’ll also be featuring a booth from our friends at Empire Animal Rescue Society (EARS), a local animal rescue group that offers pets for adoption.” To cap off the evening, a fireworks display will surround the full moon— a perfect ending to a perfect summer evening at one of the area’s most popular summer hangouts. Why mark your calendar? “The event is 100 percent free and open to the public. Attendees are invited to bring a picnic or purchase dinner from
the concession stand and settle in to enjoy the natural beauty of Allegany State Park. It’s a wonderful way to get outdoors and enjoy a family-friendly night of entertainment within the picturesque surroundings of the park,” said Carroll. The Full Moon Beach Party runs from 6–9 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 8. Admission is free (although park admission rates may apply). There is plenty of parking next to and across the street from Red House Lake. Go for the evening, the whole day or the entire weekend! Whatever you do, don’t miss this fun event that happens once a year! For more information, visit www.myartscouncil.net.

Beaches Do you dream of alternating time in the water with bouts of fun in the sand? You don’t have to be at the ocean to enjoy some old-fashioned beach time. Allegany State Park has two beautiful beaches, one on each side of the park. Quaker Lake, the largest of the lakes within ASP, offers a large beach, complete with a bathhouse, and a grassy area and sand to spread out with
your picnic blanket and beach umbrella. A playground also borders the sand. There’s plenty of parking and a concession stand for hungry guests. The beach area is roped off and supervised, and there is a jumping platform for advanced swimmers. Red House Lake, closer to Salamanca, features a scenic beach on one side that combines sand with mature trees for great shady areas. A food stand offers the essentials of summer snacking. A playground, open spaces and sports courts are located across the street at the Beehunter Rec area. Of course, if it’s sand and surf you’re after, and you don’t mind a little driving, many public beaches are scattered along the shores of nearby Lake Chautauqua and Lake Erie. Check out Bemus Point Beach and Park and Long Point State Park on Lake Chautauqua, or Sunset Bay, Evangola State Park and Lake Erie State Park on Lake Erie. All of these parks are within an hour’s drive of Ellicottville. All these great options mean there’s so much fun to be had in so little time — get your swimming in before summer is out!

Health & Fitness: How to Chisel a Lean and Fit Midsection
By Kim Duke neta & afaa Certified Trainer
In an attempt to shave off fat from the midsection, people usually do set after set of crunch-like motions, sometimes hundreds of reps over a 15-20 minute period. Then months and months pass and nothing happens. Abdominal muscles serve primarily to stabilize and bend the spine. These naturally weak and small stabilizer muscles are not designed for force production, which is why they are easily injured when people improperly lift items. Stabilizer muscles require minimal energy for work and thus burn minimal fat. The extra fat in the waistline is stored fuel. You must create a reason for this fuel to be converted to energy. You must do something that is so shocking to the body, that the
body has no choice but to grab stored fuel and burn it up. The best way to do this is to work large muscle groups that are designed for force production … and do it intensely! I am constantly amazed at the gimmicky devices geared at slimming down your waistline and getting you that chiseled, lean look in your midsection. To shear off body fat, you need not spend a great deal of time on small muscle groups. Instead, you must hammer at large muscle groups. When large muscle groups are forced to work intensely, they interpret this as some kind of siege. They then require much more energy than they normally use, to recuperate. The fat-burning recuperation after an intense workout can last three to 36 hours. The more highly trained a person is, the longer the resting metabolic rate remains elevated. This means that for many hours following a grueling weight workout, the body is still shaken up and feasting off the fat reserves (in the midsection, as well as all over) for the healing of damaged muscle fibers and muscle cell membrane. Simply put, anyone who
struggles with belly fat, love handles, saddlebags and general all-over fatness should be hitting the legs, hard! Then, hit dumbbell rows. If you are used to rows with 20-pound dumbbells, replace them with 30 and then 40 pounds. You need to view that excess fat as untapped fuel and create a need for that fuel with multi-joint (compound) movements that make up most of the workout. Some isolation exercises are okay for refinement as far as shaping and adding additional strength, such as bicep curls and triceps extensions, but most of the routine needs to be compound. Damaged muscle fibers will pull fuel for recovery from where it is stored, and this includes the midsection. So, hit the weight room with a fierce determination. Work your largest muscle groups hard. Never compromise your form to achieve your goals. Also, realize that even if you are not isolating your abs you should be engaging them in a full range of motions. Do not focus on endless repetitions; instead, aim for high intensity packed within 8-20 reps.
LEGAL MATTERS: What is an Easement by Necessity?
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. Easements by necessity are rare, but they are critical, especially when selling
landlocked parcels. It is presumed that, when a party conveys property, he or she conveys whatever rights are necessary for the beneficial use of the property and retains rights necessary for the beneficial use of the land he still owns. This presumption protects a grantor who fails to reserve the easement in writing and/or record it. An easement by necessity must stem from “unity of title” and subsequent separation of that title. Further, an easement by necessity can only exist if the necessity existed at the time of the separation. This situation arises most often when a landowner conveys part of a larger parcel that is entirely surrounded by the land from which it was severed, or by that land and the land of third parties, and the new parcel is not contiguous to the road. For instance, a grantor who owns 10 acres of land with frontage on a local road may wish to sell two acres that include the entire frontage
while retaining the 8 acres without frontage. In this case, grantor would be entitled to an easement from the road, over the conveyed parcel, to the parcel he retained — so long as he had no other way to get to his retained parcel. The easement would likely be restricted based on the use of the current landlocked parcel. An easement by necessity terminates when the circumstances creating the necessity are removed. So, using our example above, if grantor obtained lands that afforded him access to his landlocked parcel, the easement by necessity would be extinguished. For this reason, it is always preferable to memorialize the easement in writing and have it recorded since that agreement will survive even if the necessity of the easement is removed. It is in the best interest of a landowner to contact an attorney before parceling off any land that will landlock a retained parcel.
Macker Officials Extend Deadline OLEAN, N.Y. — Entries are still being accepted for the Olean Gus Macker Basketball Tournament. The Olean High School Sports Boosters and the Olean City School District Foundation are calling for visitors, students and community members to sign up for the Aug. 1517 Gus Macker threeon-three basketball tournament. Entry deadline for teams interested in this year’s tournament are Monday, Aug. 4 at MIDNIGHT for applications that are submitted by mail AND for Internet entries. To register online, go to www.macker. com or mail an application to Gus Macker Application, P.O. Box 70, Greenville, MI 48838. No faxed application forms will be accepted. The entry fee must accompany the team application and can be paid by check or credit card. The entry fee for four-player teams is $132. The two groups anticipate
having over 300 teams and 10,000 spectators from a 100mile radius to attend the threeday event and see this as a great opportunity to showcase Olean. The tournament will take place on Delaware Avenue and North Barry streets in Olean, N.Y. The tournament, based on basketball played in driveways throughout the U.S., will include players who have no experience to those who have played college and semiprofessional basketball.
Primarily based on their age and level of experience, players will be placed in divisions where they will be most evenly matched. Depending on the number of teams placed in a specific division, players and the teams they’re on will be playing for first-, second- and third-place trophies. Also, teams that finish last in their divisions could receive “Toilet Bowl” trophies. The charter members of the Gus Macker Olean are Park Centre Development, CUTCO/KaBar Visitors Center and the Kinley Corporation. Organizers also are looking for volunteers to keep score, serve as referees, assist with water and food distribution, and help set up and tear down. To volunteer or for more information, please contact John Irving at (716) 397-8223 or Laurie Aloi at (716) 3781875.

About the IBO Continued from Front Gatefold
at Holiday Valley and over 400 3-D targets are set in these ranges, with approximately 20 targets per range. The life-size targets represent native species like whitetail deer, black bear and turkey, along with some very exotic species like mountain goats and buffalo. Teams of four or five shooters are assigned a set of three ranges each day where they fire from a designated spot at the targets. The closer their arrow comes to the “kill zone” of the target, the higher the score. The Championship Round will be held that Sunday.
Local Archers Wanted “There is something for every archer,” said Gene Biehler of the IBO. “Local archers are welcome! We want them all to know that even if they didn’t qualify for the World Championships, there are still plenty of opportunities to shoot among the best! For just $5, archers can shoot on the Bowhunter Defense Ranges, which are at the top of Spruce Lake chairlift, Monday and Tuesday from noon to 7 p.m.; Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.; and on Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.” There is still plenty of time to register for the Holiday Valley Bowhunter’s Open, which will be held Friday and Saturday. This event lets nonqualified shooters compete on the same courses as the World qualifiers. Contestants can download a registration form at www.holidayvalley.com/ ibo. Registration is open to everyone, and you can register online or at the IBO desk at Holiday Valley by Thursday morning, Aug. 7.
Special Competitions According to Biehler, there are also three nights of special competitions starting on Thursday. He said, “The ‘Best of the
Best” Shoot-Off is for IBO National Championship Triple Crown Winners. It will be held at outside the Yodeler Lodge, slopeside location, Thursday, Aug. 7 at 6 p.m. These top pro archers will be shooting for a $1,000 prize and is always a great crowd-pleaser.” Friday night features the Bowhunter’s Defense ShootOff, where four amateurs will shoot against the top pro for a $1,000 first prize and a $500 second prize. Sixteen amateur archers from the Bowhunter’s Defense Range and 16 foreign competitors will shoot down through a bracketed competition to a final four for the Shoot-Off. The top pro archer as of end-of-day scoring will be selected to shoot against the four amateur archers. The shoot-off starts slopeside at 6 p.m. at Yodeler Lodge. Saturday night is the popular Easton Eagle Eye Championship, where spectators are welcome. Archers must qualify for this prestigious event throughout the season and up until noon Saturday, Aug. 9 by “hitting the dot” on the target. Hundreds of archers shoot and are eliminated over several rounds, down to the top three place finishers. The top Eagle Eye archer will receive a $1,000 prize, second place $500, and third place $250. This competition starts slopeside at 7 p.m. at Yodeler Lodge.
IBO Partners with NASP Another announcement of interest is the IBO’s partnering with NASP (National Archery in the Schools Program). According to Bryan Marcum, “The goal of the IBO is to introduce 3-D archery and the outdoor aspect to the thousands of students, who currently shoot on indoor ranges associated with NASP’s tournaments.” The National Archery
in the Schools Program (NASP) was developed to serve specific educational and conservation purposes. NASP was co-created by the Kentucky Departments of Fish & Wildlife Resources, Department of Education and Mathews Archery in 2001. NASP also expanded its participation standards to include students in grades 4–12. For more information, visit www.naspschools.org, or for New York contact, call Melissa Bailey at (315) 793-2515 or email mrb323@cornell.edu.
Huge Impact
Economic
The IBO 2014 World Championships is predicted to attract over 8,000 people, including competitors, families, friends and avid bowhunters. The event is expected to have a $4.5 million economic impact on the region. “The beautiful hills and woods surrounding Holiday Valley are the perfect setting for this prestigious event,” said Dennis Eshbaugh, president and general manager of Holiday Valley. “The resort and the village of Ellicottville can provide the lodging, entertainment, food and beverages, and all the extra touches that will again make our fifth IBO competition one to remember.”
