The Addams Family Auditions at Gowanda’s Hollywood Theater Springville Center for the Arts is pleased to announce auditions for The Addams Family to be performed this summer at Gowanda’s Historic Hollywood Theater. The show is based on the creepy and kooky, mysterious and spooky American family first introduced in cartoons created by Charles Addams in 1938.

The show will be directed by retired Orchard Park High School Principal Don Wesley, who began his career teaching English and theater in Gowanda Central
Schools. His early community theatre work included directing Oklahoma, Carousel, West Side Story, and Fiddler on the Roof for The Village Players summer theatre. In retirement he played Jacey Squires in The Music Man and directed The Wiz at Gowanda Central before directing The Drawer Boy, Annie, and The Music Man at Springville Center for the Arts. Recently, he also directed Into the Woods for Hamburg High School. An associate member of the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society and an avid student of acting and directing technique, he has served as an acting coach for plays and musicals at local high schools and for indi-
vidual actors on request. Auditions will be held at the Gowanda Presbyterian Church located at 64 East Main Street, Gowanda, NY 14070. Ten-minute private audition slots will be offered Saturday, April 2nd from 8AM to 11:30AM or 1PM to 5PM, and Sunday, April 3rd from 1PM to 5PM.

Cattaraugus County IDA to review 2 projects valued at $10.4 million BY RICK MILLER ELLICOTTVILLE — The Cattaraugus County Industrial Development Agency will review two new project applications valued at $10.4 million when it meets on Tuesday. Phase I of a 6.2-acre brownfield environmental remediation plan at 351 Franklin St. in Olean is proposed by Mike Lesakowski and Donald Benson, 351 Franklin LLC. Phase II includes a $6.4 million mixed-use commercial/industrial building to allow short-term and long-term growth for a local company and to provide warehouse space. The project is seeking $464,000 in sales tax plus unspecified mortgage recording tax and property tax exemptions. The project also requires approval of a Remedial Action Work Plan by the state Department of Environmental Conservation, City of Olean site plan approval
and a building permit. The second new project that will be considered by the IDA board is a $4 million plan by Lebanon Seaboard Corporation, Lebanon, Pa., to relocate its Penn Turf facility from Arcade to the former Mosler Safe Co. plant in Franklinville. The site at 69 S. Main St., is 4.5
acres. The company’s Penn Turf is a super absorbent polymer and fertilizer with a 90% recycled paper content. The product initially contained recycled newspaper and has grown to include recycled textbooks and mail. It is marketed under the
Green View Brand as Seedling Success and PennMulch Seed Accelerator. The company is seeking sales tax and real property tax exemptions from the IDA. The IDA board will meet at its Ellicottville offices at 11:15 a.m. Tuesday.
