Anyone who drove north from Ellicottville to Springville last winter will attest to the treacherous road conditions on Route 219 between Beaver

Village Planning Board Sets Public Hearings New Spa and Relocated Restaurant on the Table
By Jann Wiswall
During its meeting on Aug. 12, the Ellicottville Village Planning Board scheduled public hearings to allow public comment on three special use permits. The hearings, to be held at its Sept. 9 meeting, are
for accessory buildings on the properties of two private residences (1 Adams St. and 39 Martha St.) and for a proposed new spa at 32 East Washington St. in the space next door to Betsy’s Consignment. The new spa, tentatively named the Ellicottville Salt
Cave, is the brainchild of masseuse Tracy Draper, who said she was introduced to the salt spa concept while living in North Carolina. Draper said she plans to offer massage and halotherapy, or salt therapy, which is said to help reduce See Planning Board, page 3

The monthly meeting of the Great Valley Town Board was held Monday, Aug. 11 at the Great Valley Town Hall. A public hearing at 7 p.m. preceded the regular meeting to address whether or not the property where the Kill Buck post office now stands should be kept or deeded to the Kill Buck Volunteer Fire Department, which has shown an interest in the property. The fire department would then benefit from the rental of the building (currently $6,120 yearly). The possibility of the Kill Buck post office closing in the near future has brought about this question of what is to be done with the property. “We should keep it (the building and land) for youth programs and public meetings as well as community events. We may regret giving it up,” said Councilwoman Lori Finch. “One issue is maintenance, which the rent has covered so far. But if the roof needs replacing, that expense will far exceed the income,” said LaCroix. “Currently, minor repairs have been done by (Great Valley Town) Superintendent (Dan) Brown.” Options discussed were keeping it, deeding it to the Kill Buck Fire Department or selling it on the open market, which puts the property back on the tax roll. No one from the Killbuck Fire Department attended the hearing to address the issue. The town’s attorney, Peter Sorgi, recommended the hearing be left open until the next board meeting on Sept. 8, when there would hopefully be representation from the fire

is when the study should be done.” Resident, Bob Skibniewski, expressed his concern that he had trouble contacting Jeff Forster, the town’s assessor, after sending in his STAR application for next year. He felt he was being left up in the air as to whether or not it is approved. The board agreed to send Forster a letter requesting he provide the board with a monthly itemized activity report. It would allow the town clerk to answer questions such as this about assessor transactions. In other business, Brown said he is still waiting for a call back with a bid for cutting down trees in the Willoughby Cemetery. The cleanup will be done by the town crew. Code Enforcement Officer Rich Rinko reported he is starting to make contacts to begin a dialog with individuals who have been cited for property maintenance issues. The next meeting of the Great Valley Town Board will be Monday, Sept. 8 after continuing the public hearing at 7 p.m. regarding the issue of the Killbuck post office property.
department and a full board present. Only three board members were in attendance at Monday’s meeting. “People will benefit from it somehow, whether owned by the fire company or the town,” said Councilwoman Ann Rockwell. LaCroix reported a request has been received from a local citizen to petition the state to do a study to reduce the speed limit from 45 mph to 35 mph on the Route 219/Route 417 detour through Killbuck. “Even when it is not a detour it needs to be changed,” said the request. “There are lots of kids on that road,” said Finch. “The number of children participating in the summer youth program has dropped considerably this year, because parents don’t want their children walking along that road.” “The state projection for completion of Route 417 is the end of December 2014,” said Town Clerk Toni Evans. “That

Remedy What makes Tuscan Moon – A Nature’s Tribute to Michael Kerns 2014 n a t u r a l m a r k e t & h o l i s t i c c e n t e r ‘the’ Party to Attend? FEELING ANXIOUS?
Quickly feel less anxious and more confident with AnxiousLessTM
With the help of Holiday Valley, John Harvard’s Brew House and Tom Kneeland, the Rotary Club of Ellicottville is hosting their 2014 fundraiser Tuscan Moon on Saturday, Aug. 23. Ask anyone who has attended this great party in the past and you will get a differing opinion on the best part of this event, but come and see for yourself. The great food — this is for sure a highlight, as you can sample an Italian specialty from one of the 15 participating restaurants. From great appetizers like Crab Stuffed Artichoke Hearts from Katy’s Café to a main course like Wild Boar Lasagna from the Silver Fox, you will taste the best of the best. To start off the feast, the appetizers are served by volunteers from Ellicottville Central Schools’ sports programs. With serving stations for
each restaurant, you can try a little of everything or a lot of your favorites, either way you will be impressed with the great gourmet choices on the menu. Believe me, you will get your fill, but be smart and save room for the best dessert table you have ever seen. Tom Kneeland and Watson’s Chocolates combine to create a 20-foot table of the most decadent creations you have ever seen. Check out the menu posted in many establishments in town or online at http:// www.ellicottvilleny.com/ tuscan-moon. The silent auction — many come for the great bargains to be had with over 30 baskets to bid on and a number of great surprises. The live auction — provides some great opportunities to see the Sabres with great club seats. Many unique items, like CUTCO knife sets, a McCarthy
birdhouse or a round of Golf at Springville Country Club, are sold well below retail in this fun auction. The music — The Strangers provide the entertainment for the evening as Buffalo’s favorite party band. This year the stage has been moved to the far end of the patio to open up the dance floor for this always entertaining cover band. The people — this is the real heart of the evening, with a well-rounded group of over 200 people from all over. The camaraderie and good-natured fun is had by all in this great setting around the pools at John Harvard’s Cabana Bar Complex. So whatever your reason, come out and help support the many good things that the Rotary Foundation and Family Support for Ellicottville do for the community. You will feel great — we guarantee it!

inflammation of the respiratory system and enhance the immune system. In other business, the planning board said it would consider a special use permit for 24 Monroe St. (the former location of Hoagie’s) after the Ellicottville Zoning Board of Appeals considers an application from Cadillac Jack’s restaurant to move from its current location near Holiday Valley. The owners would like to expand into the
second floor; the ZBA will consider the proposed location of a stairway. The board tabled review of plans from Ellicott Development for the proposed Armor Inn restaurant buildout behind the Kwik Fill/Red Apple Store in the Village Centre. The developer had not provided a parking plan with its application. A resident who lives nearby attended the meeting to express her concerns about
both parking and lighting at the new restaurant. The planning board assured her that she and any other concerned residents may be part of the process by attending planning board meetings and the public hearing, when scheduled. The next meeting of the planning board, and the three public hearings, will be held on Tuesday, September 9 at 5:30 p.m. in the Village/Town Hall.

SEPTEMBER 13 PUMPKINVILLE SEASON OPENING
There’s a New Kid in Town: Do-op Gear Shop By Eva Potter
Although they had a lowkey opening during Winter Carnival Weekend back in March, do-op (yes, it’s all lower case) Gear Shop is still one of the new kids in town. The shop’s high-end products are geared to help you — as their tagline reads — “See the Future” with their specialized sunglasses, helmets, hats, clothing and other sports accessories. “Growing up in the Ellicottville area, I became a big fan of skiing and outdoor sports. I always wanted to open a shop that supported those activities. The Ellicottville area has some of the best skiing, hiking, biking, golfing and outdoor activity opportunities for everyone,” said Bill Stoll, owner of do-op. “The goal of do-op is to bring more advanced gear to Ellicottville for outdoor activities.” While Stoll is the owner of the business, he also has the support of a silent partner who resides in Austin, Texas. “The idea for do-op originally came from some research and development that I was working on for biosensors in sunglasses,” Stoll explained. “The name do-op came from a software program I was working on long ago. It represents the shape of glasses
[o-o] and is a palindrome [doop], which means it is the same flipped upside down.” Like the average Joe, Stoll works weekdays in medical research development, but unlike most Joes, he has developed his own bio-sensor, a medical device that uses infrared technology to monitor pulse, blood glucose and other bodily functions. Someday, he hopes to place bio-sensors into the arms and/or nose pads of his fashionable sunglasses to track these vital signs. Google and Apple have already begun incorporating wearable technology into their product lines. Stoll said he has a published his bio-sensor patent and will now need to defend his claim. While he perfects his design, he is committed to educating the public about protecting their eyes from sun damage with his vast sunglass line including Revo, Bolle, Switch and Serengeti, to name only a few. One sunglass line, Switch, even offers the consumer the option of changing lenses based on lighting conditions. But do-op Gear Shop isn’t just about glasses. They also offer Italian-made Kask sports helmets, which can be special ordered, Outdoor Research and Bench brand apparel for men and women, hats and other fun
accessories. According to Stoll, “The biggest movers this summer have been sunglasses, and lots of them, though the past several weeks people have been showing a lot of interest in goggles, helmets and clothing.” You can even buy KanJam, invented by Buffalo entrepreneurs who spend a lot of time in Ellicottville. Stoll said getting this product in the store is the “craziest thing to have happened since we opened. We have sold almost all of our KanJam inventory and we are planning a do-op KanJam tournament for next summer.” Stoll said, “Our clientele is everyone who walks down the street in Ellicottville on any given weekend. We sell $9 sunglasses and $900 watches. Now that we have been open a few months, the traffic is really starting to pick-up!” Visit do-op Gear Shop at 34 Washington St. in the heart of the village, call them at 1-888867-2545 or visit www.doop. com. The store is open Friday noon to 7 p.m., as well as Saturday and Sunday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. until Fall Festival, when they will be open daily for the winter shopping season.

The Brad & Muffin Tragedy As love notes go, it wasn’t exactly the words of Ludwig van Beethoven: “Oh, go on loving me — never doubt the faithfullest of heart. Of your beloved. Ever thine. Ever mine. Ever ours.” It wasn’t even close to President Ronald Reagan’s mushy missive to his beloved Nancy: “I more than love you, I’m not whole without you. You are life itself. When you’re gone, I’m waiting for you to return so I can start living again.” And it wasn’t as well crafted as the first love letter kicked out by a computer: “My lust tempts your fond ardour. My liking ardently cares for your hunger.” It was simply a scrap of paper floating end-over-end down a narrow alleyway when I picked it up, probably dislodged from a car windshield or the back door of a house. Hand printed on a small, slender memo it was a story of tragedy, lust and revenge in a mere 15 words. “Brad, my cell phone not working. Come sleep over. Kids with their Dad tonight. Muffin.” A happy face appeared above Muffin’s signature and “XO” underneath it. It was a beautiful thing this epigram — an intriguing little story told in fewer words than you might find on a grocery list. Sadly, “cell phone not working” in today’s world is a real tragedy. Unable to “selfie” herself, the useless cell phone could provoke suicide, making Muffin every bit a tragic Shakespearean figure as Macbeth. The only difference is Muffin is apparently sleeping with Brad, not her mother. “Come sleep over.” The line drips of Frank Sinatra’s erotic invitation to love. “Come fly with me, let’s fly, let’s fly away.” But it’s gotta be a real short flight because ... “Kids with their Dad tonight.” Okay so this is not the story of Ozzie & Harriet. It’s more like Stud & Muffin, which would make an excellent name for a Stag & Doe party. Yet, Muffin’s
separation sounds rather amiable, unless the kids are real hell raisers and the night at Dad’s is more like Night of The Living Dead with the father preferring the company of zombies to his own offspring. For the movie, I’m thinking Brad Pitt as Brad, Jennifer Lawrence as Muffin, and Phil and Sal Fondacaro, Hollywood’s most famous dwarf twins, as the kids. Bill Murray would be Dad. The film opens with Brad, a grinning, beer-swilling hunk watching an afternoon Jays game on TV while constantly looking at his cell phone for the booty call that will never come. Outside, next to his shiny Camaro, a stranger picks up a note that has been separated from the windshield wiper blade by a slight breeze. Upon further inspection, the audience learns that this is not just any stranger but one in desperate need of a column idea and three hours from deadline. Meanwhile in a three-bedroom clapboard in nearby Humberstone, where people still believe “An Officer and a Gentleman” was a true story, Muffin rifles through her closet trying on a dozen teddies in order to select the perfect one for a tryst that will never take place, the invitation having gone with the wind. At the same time in an apartment above the City Hotel, wearing a helmet and hockey gear, Dad has locked himself in the bathroom where he alternates between stabbing pins into his Brad Pitt doll and speed-dialing Muffin who forgot to drop off the box of chocolates that are laced with Demerol to knock the little buggers out cold. But her cell phone is not working. And he can’t drive to her apartment because the twins have jammed the fridge and stove against the bathroom door. As he screams for help from neighbours, the children proceed to drop potted plants and small appliances on people walking on the sidewalk below the living room window. Phil laughs hysterically as Sal
opens his mouth to reveal the tiny B-disc battery from their mother’s cell phone, this while they’re using skewers to spear fish for snowflake eels in Dad’s aquarium. They stop long enough to sing the movie’s theme song, “Brad Pitt Won’t Get Lucky Tonight.” With the boys using his La-ZBoy recliner as a trampoline and the cat imbedded in the living room ceiling, Dad jumps out the bathroom window into the dumpster below. He’s done this before when bad dates ended up staying the night. He drives his rusted-out beater to the house he still owns but can’t live in, fully expecting to interrupt his ex-wife bench pressing a new boyfriend on the kitchen table but, no, she’s alone and crying. She’s never been without her cell phone before. He fixes her cell phone, she fixes him dinner and together, they sing: “If you like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain. If you’re not into yoga, if you have half a brain.” They take a selfie of themselves and while Muffin goes to get more chocolates, Dad sends the photo to Brad. No, Brad will most definitely not — “What about the boys?!?” “It’s alright, they’ll be in custody by now.” — get lucky tonight. For the lack of a cell phone, the note was written. For the loss of the note, the boyfriend was abandoned. For the unruliness of the children, the parents were reconciled. For poor superstition, a school of fish died. “Selfie Love — The movie — A MultiMalfunctioning Thing.” For comments, ideas and copies of The True Story of Wainfleet, go to www.williamthomas.ca.

CCB Sponsors ‘Back to School Supply Drive’ LITTLE VALLEY, N.Y. — The America’s Promise team at CCB (Cattaraugus County Bank) is holding a “Back To School Supply Driveâ€? throughout the month of August 2014. The drive is intended to provide area schoolchildren with supplies they may need, but cannot afford. Items needed include: pens, pencils, loose leaf paper, pocket folders, glue sticks, colored pencils, crayons, spiral notebooks, highlighters, liquid glue, construction paper, scissors, erasers, poster board, scotch tape, stickers, wide ruled paper, composition notebooks ‌ even book bags, tissues and lunch boxes will be accepted. The national symbol for America’s Promise, a red
wagon, will be displayed in each location through the end of August as a drop-off location. CCB will distribute the supplies to local schools after they are in session in September. “This is what we do as part of the America’s Promise commitment; we help children,� states America’s Promise Team Chair Mary Jo Woodarek. “There are so many children that need these items to enhance their learning experience. CCB is pleased to offer area schools help in this way. Please look for the wagon and donate supplies. Without the proper school supplies, some children may not have the same opportunity others enjoy.� “America’s Promise�
members help to ensure that children receive the five resources they need: 1. An ongoing relationship with a caring adult-mentor 2. Access to safe places & structured activities during non-school hours 3. A healthy start 4. A marketable skill through effective education 5. An opportunity to give back through community service CCB is an FDIC insured New York State chartered independent, community bank. CCB maintains convenient ATMs and can be found on the web at www.ccblv.com. CCB is an equal housing lender. CCB’s main office is located in Little Valley.
Free Fall Rabies Clinics Dogs, cats and ferrets are required to have updated rabies shots, and here’s a chance to help your pet stay healthy. Come to free rabies clinics sponsored by the Cattaraugus County Health Department on Sept. 2 in Markhams, Sept. 4 in Allegany and Sept. 10 in Franklinville.

Village Board Meeting Continued from Front Page
“historic overlay,” which was put into place to protect all of the buildings in the village that have “historic significance,” but it is not listed on the state or federal register of historic places. Thus, only the physical part of the building actually built in 1887 is protected by the overlay and there are no restrictions related to removing additions constructed after that time. Still, Brogcinski felt it was important to locate any documents available that make that clear. Rogan suggested the mayor speak with Sheila Burrell, a member of the planning board who was instrumental in creating the original historic overlay with the help of the New York State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). SHPO may have the documentation requested. During the meeting, the board also discussed a number of ongoing issues, as well as some new problems that have cropped up. Trash and Brush Collection The village has entered into a one-year contract with Modern Corporation to provide trash removal services for village residents after its previous provider went out of business. Department of Public Works Superintendent Harold Morton reported that many residents are not following proper brush disposal regulations, which limits brush size to no more than 6 feet long and 4 inches in diameter. People have been leaving much larger limbs
and even trees out for pickup; department vehicles and staff cannot handle such debris. Board member Patra Lowes noted that people are not following regular trash regulations either. Many people, particularly vacationers, are leaving trash bags out several days before scheduled pickup, which attracts animals, creates litter and develops odors. She argued that the “whole trash issue is getting out of control” and is creating short- and longterm problems for full-time residents. The solution? Lowes suggested that the board should look at the issue as a whole, determine what rules and regulations should be established (e.g. require people to purchase and use trash cans, increase fees, charge fines for non-compliance) and work with Modern Corporation to look for short-term solutions. Then, when the board goes out to bid for service next summer, those rules and regulations could be incorporated into the bid request. The board agreed with Lowes’ suggestion and the mayor will discuss the shortterm solutions with Modern Corp. Sewer Plant Lightning Strike Damages UV System Morton reported that a lightning strike at the village sewer plant damaged the ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system. A transformer also was damaged and replaced by
National Grid. An outside firm is doing a forensic analysis of the UV system and the electrical system to determine the exact cause of the damage. Its findings will be reported to the village’s insurance company. Morton explained that the existing system is old and parts are difficult to come by. The village’s engineering firm, Nussbaumer & Clarke, is trying to locate parts, but ideally the system should be completely replaced — at an estimated cost of $244,000. It is hoped that insurance will cover replacement cost, rather than repair. FEMA Flood Plain Map Last month, new flood plain maps of the Town and Village of Ellicottville, with annotations provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), were made available for public comment and review. Since then, FEMA has provided a new version of the map that incorporates those annotations into the drawing. NOTE: This revised version was reposted on Tuesday, Aug. 12 at the Town/Village Hall and on the Ellicottville website at www.ellicottvillegov.com/ html/tbldgdept.htm, then click on “Flood Zone Map.” The next meeting of the Village Board will be held on Monday, Sept. 8 at 6 p.m. in the Town/Village Hall. All are welcome to attend.

dangerous conditions. While driving this stretch of Route 219 riddled with potholes, it was survival of the nimblest. With potholes deep enough and wide enough to swallow a Buick, drivers were forced to play their own live version of Mario Kart, without all the fun prizes, while also watching for oncoming traffic doing the same. It was a catastrophe waiting to happen and the New York Department of Transportation agreed. This section of roadway was not scheduled for maintenance until 2016 and though road crews tried their best to keep these holes patched, safety concerns made it necessary to begin the project in 2014. Susan Surdej, assistant to the director of New York State’s Department of Transportation
Region 5 in Buffalo, said, “In early spring, it was obvious that the pavement on this stretch of Route 219 had seriously deteriorated due to the harsh winter conditions. This deterioration resulted in extremely rough road conditions, which we knew had to be addressed. DOT immediately began investigating advancing a pavement repair project to address these safety concerns.” The project is currently in process to be awarded to the bidder. “Project start will depend on when the contract officially is awarded, but the intention is to do the work this construction season,” said Surdej. No detours are planned and traffic will be maintained onsite through construction of the
7-mile section. Surdej explained, “One side will be done followed by the other side, so motorists can expect closed lanes and slowed conditions, but the plan is for the road to remain open.” Road construction crews will be milling off 1 ½ inches of pavement and overlaying it with hot mixed asphalt pavement. The Route 219 project is estimated to cost $910,000. While no completion date was requested, asphalt plants shut down when the air and surface temperatures drop and the asphalt mix cools too rapidly before it can be compacted to the optimal air content, typically by the end of November.

Family-Friendly, Signature Barbeque and Blues Acts
By Eva Potter
You may have heard of the Armor Inn in Hamburg, N.Y., a place to take your whole family for affordable, lip-smacking BBQ and lively, nationally known blues acts for the adults. Well, Ellicottville is preparing to welcome the Armor Inn’s second location in the Village Centre plaza, next to the Kwik Fill gas station and Red Apple store on Mill Street, hopefully in the very near future. After JC Seneca, owner of the Armor Inn in Hamburg, spoke with various connections in Ellicottville, he decided to expand his business plan to include a second restaurant in the village. Village Centre development owner, Ellicott Development, Co., has submitted plans to the Ellicottville Village Planning Board and is in the process of getting the necessary approvals. Once approved, the Armor Inn can begin customization of the building attached to the back of Red Apple. Plans include a small addition to the side of the building to accommodate a bathroom and storage area. The hope is to have the restaurant open this fall. “I chose this building because of the location,” said Seneca. “We have a lot to offer Ellicottville and we’re excited to be a part of this community.” Within walking distance of shops, overnight accommodations and other village amenities, the Armor Inn will soon become one of Ellicottville’s must try eateries. The Armor Inn will offer high
quality eats, including their BBQ specialties, at great prices. The family-friendly dining experience even considers the younger set — they can choose from delicious selections from their own kids’ menu. A family restroom rounds out the convenience features. Restaurant plans show seating for approximately 175, some possibly outside, and like its Hamburg counterpart, will have a comfortable bar area that will make a welcoming gathering place. Adults can look forward to evening entertainment on stage with plans to bring in big name, national blues acts. According to Seneca, the Armor Inn wants to be an active participant in and supporter of the Ellicottville community. “We want to be involved in everything that happens in Ellicottville,” Seneca said. “We not only want to promote our brand and business, but we want to promote all the businesses in Ellicottville.” For more information, visit www.armorinn.com.

pedal karts! Adults and kids can drive around the racetrack on these fun new pedal karts, right in front of the Corn Maze. “The cars have a tractor theme,” noted Dan. “They look a bit like dune buggies with pedals.” And there’s a big surprise at the Corn Maze. “The maze is more complex than in the past, with additional paths and WYRK’s recognizable logo when viewed from above,” Diane said. The upgrades don’t stop with the Corn Maze — this year, the Pawlowskis have added a huge new food service building. It houses the former BBQ pit and ice cream factory. Pumpkin Jumpin’ Pillows are back! New last year, the giant jumping pillows — 35 feet by 70 feet — are built right in the
ground, offering up some great jumping fun for kids and adults. “Children also get a big kick out the Henhouse Five Review,” Dan added. “These animatronic chickens sing and tell jokes.” Of course, the popular old favorites are back as well including hayrides, The Corn Cannon, The Cow Train, Gem Mining, and Storyland. On weekends in October (weather permitting), take a helicopter ride and see the gorgeous fall foliage from above. Visitors can watch apple cider pressings and see a 125-year old cider mill in use. “We use a special blend of apples to make some of the besttasting cider in New York,” said Diane. Pumpkinville also offers lots of delicious food to eat while you’re there and to take home, highlighted by their world famous
pumpkin donuts. Other products include homemade pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie, old-fashioned kettle corn, caramel sauce and caramel apples, fudge, jam, maple products and much more. Don’t forget the main attraction — pumpkins! With more than 25 acres, you’re bound to find the perfect pumpkins for decorating. Select your own for a special jack-o-lantern, or choose from a variety of painted pumpkins. Again this year, Pumpkinville will be selling Pink Pumpkins with a portion of the proceeds going toward breast cancer research. A former winner of New York State’s Agri-Tourism Business of the Year, Pumpkinville is just minutes from Ellicottville at 4844 Sugartown Rd. in Great Valley.

Video Visionaries
Tech Company in Olean Specializes in 360-Degree Video Content Creation By Daniel Meyer
Despite only being in business for a little over a year, an Oleanbased company that specializes in state-of-the-art 360-degree video technology is making a name for itself internationally. 360Heros, Inc. specializes in what they call “video solutions� that help record fully spherical interactive video thanks to an innovative product line that makes it possible to capture 360-degree immersive video footage from the air, underwater and virtually anywhere else you can imagine. Founded by Michael Kintner, 360Heros has patent-pending video equipment that uses flexible aircraft grade, 3-D printed nylon that serves as a mount for specialized cameras that can record a full 360-by-180 degree field of view. The files from each camera are then loaded into the company’s file management software program and are converted into an interactive, fully spherical video experience. The equipment used by 360Heros is used to shoot 360-degree music videos, film aquatic habitats, capture aerial video through the use of drones and create interactive tours. In the words of Kintner, who serves as the company’s chief executive officer, the possibilities are endless. “Our philosophy is essentially what I have always tried to do, which is break the barrier and strive to accomplish something that no one else has ever done before,� said Kintner. “We take on tremendous challenges every single day to advance what is already out there and improve upon it.� The creation of the 360Heros line of products originated from Kintner’s aerial photography company called AmazingAerialPhotos.com. Kintner’s use of helium blimps led to him rigging a remote control assembly on the bottom of a blimp that allowed him to rotate a camera, snap some photographs, rotate the camera again and snap more photographs so that spherical photo compilations could be captured. Following a very time-consuming process and plenty of trial and error, Kintner was able to advance his experiments and create eight different model types for filming a variety of different sequences, including underwater image capturing.
Speaking of the underwater 360-degree videos, that is a specific type of filming that Kintner is extremely passionate about. “When I look back at developing the field-of-view underwater technology, that really was kind of an obsession that was based on a hobby of mine,� explained Kintner. “I was determined to make it happen and basically did not rest with experimenting with it until I had it mastered. But for me, that type of experimenting is really fun and quite exciting, so while some may view it as hard work and tedious, which it can be, I always welcomed the challenge.� The accomplishments of 360Heros are quite impressive,
Scenes from The IBO Championships at Holiday Valley • Photos by ReadyImage
including the shooting of the first-ever 360-degree video from the top of Mount Everest, a project which resulted in the awarding of a Guinness Book of World Records certificate. “As I said before, the type of work we do when we are experimenting is really fun, so when you receive a Guinness Book of Worlds Records award for doing it, something that we never even really thought of or expected, that’s an added bonus and something that is really exciting,� said Kintner. The company is growing and Kintner expects further expansion in the near future, with the five full-time employees in Olean and another dozen or so specialists on his development and contractor team based all over the country to soon be joined by more colleagues in various new positions. “We will be hiring more people soon, specifically those who have multi-media experience,� says Kintner. “As a native of Western New York, I want to find employees from this area whenever possible. That’s why I am working with local colleges like Saint Bonaventure University and Jamestown Community College to look into internships and how we can gain access to the young talent that exists here.� In addition to all of the camera and film technology work, 360Heros also provides additional services that include mobile application development, video production services and video post-production services. The company’s list of clients and collaborators includes major corporations and household names such as NBC, The New York Times, Sony, Under Armour, National Geographic and IBM. “This content is the future,� said Kintner. “We’re growing every single day. Some of our gear is being used on a regular basis in Hollywood, and it has gotten to the point where the demand for what we do is quite mindboggling. We are a known brand internationally and I see nothing but significant progress in the future. My hope is to attract passionate, educated and enthusiastic people from Western New York who want to be innovative and creative and get involved with the exciting world of 360 video content creation.�

Something Borrowed Something Chewed A Black Tie Affair to Remember By Mary Fox
It will be a party gone to the dogs, as dog lovers and their people gather for the annual Doggy Party at 4:30ish on Wednesday, Aug. 20 at Spruce Lake (rain date Aug. 27). “It started out years ago as a fun get-together with Newfies and their owners. Soon it morphed into a fundraiser for Almost Home Animal Sanctuary and EARS Animal Rescue Shelter in Salamanca,” said MJ Brown, who with Teresa Mercer, owner of Rover Makeover Dog Salon, are the organizers of the event. “Fun-loving ‘children’ accompanied by well-behaved adults are invited to just sit back, watch and laugh,” said Teresa. “It’s amazing how well they play together — the dogs, that is. No fights, just fun.” Every party needs a theme and this year it is the doggy marriage of Snicker Doodle Brown and Dorothy Ann Elizabeth Marie Wagner. It will be the wedding of the season, officiated by Pastor O.J. of the Dogs of Good
Snicker Brown and Dorothy Mercer in great anticipation of upcoming wedding. Times Church with a yowling choir providing music for the occasion. Goldie Brown will be maid of honor with Dozer Widger Best man. Sweet Tea Wagner will be flower girl along with several bridesmaids and groomsmen. Snicker and Dotty are marking their own vows and chosen their wedding attire. It’s a black tie affair for humans and dogs, so come dressed appropriately. You don’t want your dog pointed out as shabby (or yourself, for that matter). If you prefer, bridesmaids’ attire
is also appropriate (for men, too). A reception ball will be held after the wedding with lots of water for everyone. The wedding dinner will be hot dogs (provided) and, if you like, a potluck dish to pass. Please bring your own beverage. Pupcakes, specially made by the bride’s mothers, Teresa, and sister Calla, will be served for the dog guests with wedding cake for the human guests. A wishing well will receive gifts of money for Almost Home and EARS, and EARS will have some adoptable pups on hand for bonding. Birth control specialist Doctor Tim has discussed with the couple the option available and performed necessary measures to ensure the couple enjoys a happy, carefree life. Bring your lawn chair for a front row seat. It will prove to be an exciting time for all — and you’re invited. Need more info? Call (716) 699-2736.

“Big Little Lies” by Liane Moriarty A murder… a tragic accident… or just parents behaving badly? What’s indisputable is that someone is dead. Bu But who did what? Big Little Lies follows three women, each at a crossroads: M Madeline is a force to be reckoned with. She’s funny and biting, passionate, she remembers everything and forgives no one.

School Construction Starts with Abatement Board, Staff Working Thru Logistics
By Jann Wiswall
Ellicottville’s newest third grade teacher, Leah Klahn, attended the Aug. 12 meeting of the ECS School Board to introduce herself and thank the board and staff for “believing in me.” She said she is excited to be working at the school and promised to “do my very best to make you proud of me.” The board thanked her for attending the meeting and welcomed her to the staff. Superintendent Mark Ward briefed the board on construction progress for the school’s renovation project. Asbestos abatement and other preliminary work, primarily in the basement, is under way now, and contractors have begun erecting sturdy, but temporary, walls to close off the construction site to ensure student and staff safety. Board member Nikki Klein asked Ward what effect the project might have on students. Ward said that demolition of the gym, locker rooms and other areas is expected to be completed by early October. Students and staff should expect some noise associated with that. However, he added, “the contractors are experienced and attuned to this issue,” and every attempt will be made to minimize impact on student learning. All interior and exterior construction areas will be completely secured and staff will regularly discuss with students the importance of staying away from construction areas. Superintendent’s Report Safety Drill: Ward stated that there will be an all-school safety drill in September. The date is to be announced and will be well publicized, however, no details about the emergency scenario will be released in advance. All appropriate area fire, police,
healthcare and other agencies will be involved. “Safety drills are essential, not only because we need to practice, but also because we need to look for ways to improve our processes,” Ward explained. Football Helmets: A recent television news story had a lot of people asking about the helmets provided to ECS football team members. Ward said that the story used very old data to assess Ellicottville’s helmet safety ranking. In truth, he said, “ECS helmets all have 4 (very good) and 5 (best available) star safety ratings. We’re committed to giving our kids the best equipment we can.” 2014-15 Enrollment: Formal registration for school is still under way, but current estimates put enrollment at about 600 students plus another 20 or so students who go off-site for school. This is about the same as last year’s enrollment. Final data will be reported after school begins. Committee Report The board’s Building, Grounds and Transportation Committee plans to donate some old sporting equipment, donated to ECS by the Buffalo Bills many years ago, to the ECS Sports Boosters. Committee chair Roger Spell also said that the roof on the bus garage is in process, the new school bus is being delivered this week, some leaks in portions of the roof not being replaced during the new construction must be repaired, and potholes in some of the school’s driveways are being filled by the Great Valley and Town of Ellicottville highway departments. Cheerleading Spell asked about plans for the football cheerleading squad for the upcoming school year – the first year ECS and Franklinville are
Scenes from The IBO Championships at Holiday Valley • Photos by Jennie Acklin
being merged as a football team. Middle/High School Principal Bob Miller said Franklinville’s cheerleading representative suggested that each squad cheer at two of the four home games. Spell said that the ECS squad members were hoping to both practice and cheer with Franklinville. Miller felt that practicing together would be difficult from a transportation perspective, but that he would talk with Franklinville again about other options. Principals’ Reports Elementary School Principal Connie Poulin said that she and Miller have been working together on scheduling and working through issues they share related to the complications involved with operating during construction. She also said she is working to fill two AmeriCorps teaching positions and to complete opening day packets. Miller said that, in addition to working through logistical issues with Poulin, he is planning an ice cream social for incoming seniors and their parents. He also noted that the September issue of the school’s newsletter will include detailed logistical information about what to expect this year during construction, especially regarding physical education classes — which is by far the biggest challenge. Miller said the staff has put in a lot of time getting those classes scheduled and advises students: “Don’t ask to change your scheduled P.E. time!” In addition, he said, he is working closely with P.E. teachers and coaches to come up with creative solutions for gym class activities and that students should plan for more outdoor time. The next meeting of the ECS board will be held on Tuesday, Aug. 26 at 7:30 p.m. in the high school library.

LEGAL MATTERS: Clarifying Your Real Estate Contract
By Kathleen G. Moriarty, Peters & Moriarty, Attorneys and Counselors of Law
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. There are two common phrases that show up in many contracts for the sale of real estate that have a habit of coming back to haunt buyers and sellers. With “contract season” ahead of us, it may help to address them now. The first is the term “as is.” This phrase seems innocent enough, but it’s a
broad statement and subject to interpretation. Typically, a seller desires to sell the property without doing any repairs or additional work. Buyer signs the contract not anticipating any major repairs. For instance, the seller may have meant that he would do absolutely nothing to improve the property, but the buyer assumed this only meant the household furnishings she was purchasing with the property. Or the buyer may not have considered the septic and well, which are required by law to meet County Health Department standards before being transferred. Regardless of who has the legal upper hand, the reality is that most of these issues will be hashed out between the parties and their attorneys because, at the end of the day, seller wants to sell and buyer wants to buy. For this reason, it’s best to clarify what “as is” means by stating in the contract the repairs that will or will not be made, including repairs or replacement of the well or septic system. If the buyer plans to perform a home inspection and the seller has no intention of making any repairs regardless of what the inspection turns up, that too should be stated in the contract. Buyers often agree to
accept an existing survey not necessarily knowing when that survey was prepared or what it might reflect. Since surveys are a physical map of the property, they show encroachments, such as a neighbor’s misplaced fence or a house that crosses a boundary line. If the existing survey is 20 years old, it will not show subsequent encroachments that may affect title. Further, if the existing survey is a copy of a survey, it may not be legible for the purpose of title review or using it for a deed description. Technically, the seller provided the existing survey, but it’s useless. The question then is who pays for a new survey or whether one is obtained at all. The best way to avoid this question is for the contract to state that the existing survey is accepted as long as it’s a legible, certified copy and was performed within a certain period of time. Many, but not all, contracts contain an “attorney approval” clause that allows your attorney time to review the contract before it is binding on the parties. Thus, if you are entering into a real estate contract, it is best to contact your attorney ahead of time to discuss specific concerns.
Health & Fitness: Work Out with Consistency
By Kim Duke neta & afaa Certified Trainer
Have you noticed how many exercise trends are pushing an intensity level that seems unattainable to your average human being? There is The Insanity Workout, P90X, Spartacus, The Metabolic Effect, HiiT (High Intensity Interval Training) and most recently, CrossFit. All of these programs are designed to push you to your limits with both cardio endurance and physical strength. All promote working out at maximum capacity without compromising form and with short rest periods. As a fitness professional, I have tried all of the above workouts. And with all of them, I see where they can be effective. Typically, I use aspects of them within my training programs and fitness classes, but unless you are
already physically fit and in excellent health, my concern with any of these workouts at this high level of intensity is that if you are doing them independently or along with a DVD, your risk for injury can sky rocket. And, the person who buys these disks is usually in a hurry for weight loss and is more than likely out of shape. I have discussed the different heart rate zones in the past, and as many of you are aware, there is a zone for fat burning (60-70 percent of your maximum heart rate) and then there are the zones above that. Those are the zones that burn fat and an amazing amount of calories. There is also the anaerobic zone that is deprived of oxygen. Here is where your DVD workouts can get dangerous. Pushing you to these zones without proper instruction and guidance can be literally life threatening. Yes, we see folks on “The Biggest Loser” being pushed until they are close to vomiting. They achieve huge results, too. But, there are scores of professionals tracking these individuals’ every move, calorie intake and mental health. What is proven to accomplish weight loss is consistency.
Maybe I should trademark that as a workout program and people will actually believe results are attainable. Consistent cardio, consistent weight training and a consistently healthy diet all help to achieve weight loss and overall better health … so basic it’s unbelievable, but results are undeniable. The high-Intensity programs are designed to produce some truly amazing results. My advice to you is to seek out guidance and assistance with these workouts. Even my most fit clients and athletes get sloppy when they are fatigued. With fitness training at this level, your best bet is to train supervised with a designated spotter to keep an eye on form. I have seen injuries range from pulled back muscles to torn ligaments without supervised training at this level. So, if results are what you are after and training with a professional is not in your budget, remember that any consistent form of exercise and healthy diet will get you results. You may not get there as quickly as a “Biggest Loser” contestant, but you will get there.
Star Party at Allegany State Park Aug. 23 Join us on Saturday, Aug. 23 at 8:30 p.m. at Park Site #52 at the south end of Quaker Lake to enjoy naked eye viewing of our beautiful night sky.

We’ll learn about these and other celestial wonders. Long time amateur astronomer, Bert Probst, will lead us on a tour of the splendors of the summer sky. Sagittarius will provide some spectacular views. Be sure to dress warm and bring a lawn chair or blanket to sit on, and binoculars if you have them. Please no pets or
unshielded flash lights. (Red cellophane covering a flash light will provide adequate illumination and yet preserve our night vision.) In case of clouds or rain the event will be cancelled. For more information, visit www.facebook.com/ alleganystatepark.

Free School Food Service Conference and Show at Holiday Valley Aug. 21 SALAMANCA, N.Y. — As the start of a new school year soon approaches, many school food service directors are still challenged with meeting the recent major changes in nutritional guidelines for school lunch and breakfast programs. Schools also face increasing financial pressures in managing their food service programs as many of the new nutritional guidelines require specific ingredient components that commercial vendors haven’t yet aligned with the new suggested unit or portion sizes. Getting the right balance of nutrition, taste and cost can be extremely challenging even in the best of situations, and oftentimes school food service staff and business administrators are left with little time or additional resources to develop new recipes that will appeal to kids’ tastes, plan creative food and meal options, or to network among their professional peers for ongoing development and learning exchanges. To foster networking among regional school food
service staff and to establish an opportunity for learning and knowledge exchange for food service and school administrative personnel, a full-day comprehensive food service conference is planned for Thursday, Aug. 21 at Holiday Valley Resort in Ellicottville. The conference is free to attend and food service mangers, food service staff and administrators from schools located in Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Allegany Counties and the greater Western NY region are encouraged to attend. Two separate tracks will provide attendees with 3.5 Continuing Educational Units and will feature multiple national and regional presenters. Track 1, “Food Service Boot Camp 101,” is designed for all food service staff and provides an intensive knowledge exchange workshop with the most up-to-date information on food service program best practices. Track 2, “Gaining Efficiencies in Financial Management, Marketing,
and Nutritional Planning,” is designed for food service managers, directors and school administration and will provide an integrated look at overall program improvements. A highlight of the conference will be a lunch food show featuring over 15 sampling stations presented by the top food suppliers to schools. Carey Skelton, a registered dietician from Jamestown, has worked intensively for the last six months with many schools in Cattaraugus and Chautauqua counties, focusing on professional development needs, new menu plans, recipe development and food procurement policy. She has also initiated the development of a possible peer network of regional food service staff and schools. Attendance is free, but advance registration is required. Register online at Southern Tier West’s website at www.southerntierwest. org or by calling Kimberly LaMendola at (716) 945-5301, ext. 2211. There is no limit to the number of people attending from one school.

Come on over to the Mansfield Area Historical Society building at 7691 Toad Hollow Rd. on Thursday, Aug. 21 to get answers to these intriguing questions: Was that building moved twice? Why are there so many buggies on our roads? Historian, Sue Cross will, we hope, have answers. She has been researching the history on one of the older buildings in the township. Learning some background and history of the Amish has also kept her learning. Sue will share her insights with the public at 7 p.m. Also, the Mansfield Area Historical Society has a framed
1856 wall map of Cattaraugus County on display for you to enjoy. Names of homeowners are printed on the roads throughout the townships. Take a look to see if you have ancestors listed. This map is huge — about 5 feet by 5 feet. It has a bit of fading and peeling, but overall it is in remarkable condition for a map that old. Glenn Sanders donated the map that shaped the project to protect it for others to enjoy. Also housed in the building is a 1915 framed wall map of Cattaraugus County. Homeowners have been hand printed on this map also. Both of these maps are very
interesting. Our family collections have increased from just the Eddy family to include many items from the Higgins family and interesting items from the Stone family from the Town of Mansfield. We are always looking for photos to scan depicting the way of life in the 1900s and before. If you have anything such as photos with old machinery, cars, horses, logging, schools, etc., please consider sharing it with us. We will scan the photo and return the original to you. Join us on Aug. 21 for a little trip into history! All are invited to attend.

9th Annual Art in the Garden October 11 This October, Fall Festival weekend will offer the most memorable art exhibition and sale ever held in Ellicottville. Your host Darlene Allen will be presenting a handpicked collection of spectacular artwork from internationally recognized artists during her ninth annual Art in the Garden show. This show has been hailed by attendees as “the” art show to see in the area. An amazing garden embraces the property, and visitors will be privileged to watch all of the artists actively working along with live harp music by Ellen Paquette. Allen’s gardens have been featured in Better Homes and Gardens magazine, along with
numerous other publications, so you know it’s really something special — a feast for the eyes. When putting together the show, Allen made only one request, “I only want the best of the best artists,” and that is exactly what you’ll see. Artists who receive an invitation must meet Allen’s extraordinary standards. This is a one-day-only event on Saturday, Oct. 11, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Come see for yourself at 11 Rockwell Ave., just two short blocks behind the new Red Apple/Kwik Fill in downtown
