With summer upon us, skilled archers are once again ready to take to the outdoors of East Otto. This weekend marks the World Qualifier for the International Bowhunters Organization, taking place June 1920 at Double J Archery. It’s a prelude to the group’s World Championships later this summer. This year’s qualifier promises to be extra special, according to Double J owner John Jennings. Jennings says he is very excited this year. While not wanting to mention any names, he’s enthusiastic about the participation of a man recently returned from Iraq who lost his arm and his right leg, and is “going to be shooting in the event.” The man is from the Orchard Park area. Jennings goes so far as to think “he’s going to win the World Championships in his class; he’s very good.” Jennings continues, “I’ve never been this excited in the last thirty years. I’m wishing him the best of luck.” During last year’s qualifier, many of the participants did well and, “a lot of guys just really enjoyed it.” Jennings expects a good turnout this year for both the qualifier and World Championships. He says, “There are a lot of new people interested,

in the I.B.O. That’s when “people wanted to really do the target shooting and compete against each other.” As for the range itself, Jennings notes that it’s well groomed and inviting to families who want to enjoy the land. “It’s kind of like a walk through Letchworth (State) Park for a day, but
you’re carrying a bow and arrow.” Jennings is busy readying his course for the qualifier. He explains, “We try to make it where it’s just like the World Championships.” What about the strength needed to SEE QUALIFIER PAGE 9

At the Ellicottville Village Board meeting held this past Monday night, Mayor Coolidge asked for a reconsideration of the village’s noise ordinance. The current ordinance states that at 10:00pm the noise ordinance takes place. He would like to change the noise ordinance to 1:00a.m. He stated that the 10pm limit was fine for the time when the ordinance had been written, but felt that it should be reconsidered because “times have changed.” The mayor pointed out
that some businesses could comply by simply turning a speaker around, or moving it away from an open door. One of the trustees wondered if the police had some device to measure the acoustic level so that some kind of standard could be applied. The mayor had made requests to several interested parties in the area attend the meeting for input. About ten citizens were at the meeting. One of them provided comment that sometimes it’s a very simple matter to quiet offending PA systems. A motion was made and passed to have a public hearing on the
noise ordinance revision at the next board meeting. The mayor thanked the citizens for attending the meeting. The zoning report was submitted. The Village Planning Board has been in ongoing discussions with a homeowner regarding a request for a remodeling permit. The board is concerned that the homeowner did not comply with the specifications of a pervious remodel permit, and installed a style of railing not in the plans approved by the board. There was discussion as to how to bring noncompliant buildings into compliance,
and what the village’s remedy is. There was discussion of possibly revoking the Certificate of Occupancy for offending properties. The mayor suggested there should be a fine for non-compliant homeowners and that only the Village Board can establish a fine. Mayor Coolidge added that the “one alternative is to go to the homeowner.” The Zoning report was accepted. The board also considered approval of the permits for several upcoming SEE VILLAGE PAGE 9

Allegany Old Home Week An Annual Tradition Kicks Off June 22, with the Grand Parade June 26 BY GARY DULANSKI
Up Close & Personal: Twin Tiers Theater, A Little Bit of NYC Comes to Olean ... page 5 For the first time in Olean’s history, a group of New York City performers are coming to put on a festival that is to make audiences laugh and give them the thrill only a live performance can properly give. The Festival also brought some much-needed renovations. The Twin Tiers Theater Festival has provided money and received donations to revamp the Washington Street Theater, home to the Olean Theatre Workshop.
Business Track: S&S Taxidermy, An Interactive Playground for the Outdoor Enthusiast ... page 5 Family owned and operated since the late 1960’s, the S&S Taxidermy and Archery Pro Shop was once merely a 1,200 square foot operation in the home of Jerry Stedman. However, in 1991, Stedman Sr. retired and handed his business over to son Brian Stedman, who took the store from 1,200 to 20,000 square feet and positioned himself in the perfect location, just off Route 219 in Springville, New York.
You may be able to tell by the fresh air and hot humid days that summer is not far away, and neither is the end of school. But moms and dads can breathe easy because summer activities like festivals and carnivals are set to begin to keep your children occupied as Allegany’s Old Home Week gears up, and its just a week away! The Allegany Fire Department is extending an open invitation to all families to come out and enjoy the pre-summer weather from June 22-26. Old Home Week dates back to the mid 1930’s when the Hose Company hosted their first carnival as part of Old Home Week. Allegany’s fire department was formed by the Willard Hook & Ladder Company on February 19, 1890. The Jim Willson, president of the Allegany Engine Company, and Jim Boser, Company Chief, are gearing up for the annual tradition of Old SEE ALLEGANY PAGE 9 Home Week, scheduled for June 22-26.

SUMMER FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS: JULY 2-4 ~ ELLICOTTVILLE
June 17-23, 2010 ~ The Villager ~
Publisher’s Word Better Start Planning ...
Big summer fun is now upon us. The old proverb “She who fails to plan, plans to fail” comes to mind. And that
makes me think about what I’m going to do for fun for the rest of the summer. The fourseason resort town of E’ville keeps coming up with new ways to entertain us all year ‘round. How lucky those of us are who live here, and how fortunate it is for those visitors who “stumble across” our little community. So take heed, readers – get out your summer calendars and start “x-ing” out some key dates, such as: July 2-4 Summer Festival of the Arts and Championship Rodeo at Sommerville Valley; July 1718 Folk Art and Music Fair; July 30-Aug. 1 Jazz Weekend; Aug. 7-8 Taste of Ellicottville; Aug. 11-14 IBO Bowhunting Championships; Aug. 14
Children’s First Festival And for those few weekends in between the above events, better start making reservations for the best area camping sites, whitewater rafting trips, various and sundry mountain biking and hiking happenings, tee times for some amazing golf courses … I could go on and on. So, dear readers, remember that proper planning prevents missing the boat on summer fun down in our neck of the woods. Start your summer planning now and stick with the game plan – make some summer memories this year you and your family will always remember! Until next week! Jeanine Zimmer

Twin Tiers Theater: A Little Bit of NYC Comes to Olean BY MEGAN O’DONNELL For the first time in Olean’s history, a group of New York City performers are coming to put on a festival that is to make audiences laugh and give them the thrill only a live performance can properly give, explained Emily Fletcher, actor. “It’s a bit of a shock,” she said. “It breaks you out of your way of thinking and allows you to have your perspective shifted. That’s what theater is supposed to do.” Breaking its ground in Olean, The Twin Tiers Theater Festival is “a brand new group of actors, set designers, directors, producers and everyone else needed to make multiple plays come to life. Rohig Kapoor was the mastermind behind the Festival and is the coartistic director and one of the producers,” Amy Kyzer explained. Kyzer was approached by Kapoor and “couldn’t say no.” She is now co-producer and co-artistic director of the plays and the Festival’s main spokesperson. “The birth of the festival began last year when Kapoor visited his father in Olean and realized that Olean was the perfect place to hold the first performances of the group,” Kyzer said. “We (most of the cast) checked out the area and just loved it! It was such a welcoming environment,” said Molly Logan, NYC actor. The Festival is to perform seven plays and one musical: Crimes of the Heart; As Bees in Honey Drown; Boeing, Boeing; an original production yet to be announced; Into the Woods (musical); The Importance of Being Earnest;

Breaking its ground in Olean, The Twin Tiers Theater Festival is “a brand new group of actors, set designers, directors, producers and everyone else needed to make multiple plays come to life.” The Festival is to perform seven plays and one musical, opening with “Crimes of the Heart” June 24-27.
Veronica’s Secret; and The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe. “The ‘original production’ is just that – it is a play that has never been performed on stage anywhere and will premiere in Olean before going on the circuit to places like Chicago and NYC,” Kyzer said. Kyzer does warn, however, that not all shows are “kid friendly.” Parents should look into the play before bringing children, but she does suggest not to bring them to “Boeing, Boeing” or “Veronica’s Secret.” She did say, however, that “Into the Woods” would be appropriate for those with a mature mind. Besides hoping to bring great theater to Olean, the Festival also brought some renovations. The Twin Tiers Theater Festival has provided money and received donations to revamp the Washington
Street Theater, home to the Olean Theatre Workshop. The restoration includes a new lighting system and an increased number of seats from 55 to 105. Kyzer mentioned that BOCES of Ellicottville was a huge help as well as local contractors and others donating their time and work to change the Washington Street Theater for the better. Along with renovating the Theater, the Walsh building was also spruced up as a living area for the actors during the summer. According to Kyzer, the greatest part about the renovations is that they stay after the group leaves – Olean can continue to make money through their own local productions. The Festival hired 130 actors and musicians, hiring six locals. “Into the Woods” will SEE THEATER PAGE 9

S&S Taxidermy: An Interactive Playground for the Avid Outdoorsman BY ANJANETTE NICOLAZZO
Not only specializing in taxidermy and archery supplies, S&S has quite a bit to offer the avid sportsman. Carrying everything from archery supplies to handguns, shotguns, muzzle loaders, trapping supplies, ice fishing gear, camouflage clothing, turkey calls, ammunition and scopes - to name a few - S&S is a bit more than your traditional outdoor store … not to mention the indoor interactive archery range that is available for use by the public.
Brian. Deer aren’t the only thing you could witness at the taxidermy. The Stedmans have dealt with a vast range of animals: birds, fish, life sized deer, both grizzly and polar bears, as well as African mounts. “That’s really how we got started. In 1967, my Dad won a fishing contest and went to get his prize mounted. He nearly choked at the price of the mount and decided to do it himself in his house, and from there, the business only grew,” says Brian. He continues, “Archery is really the backbone of the store. Our most popular product continues to be both the Mathew and Hoyt bow lines, which are two of the best selling bows in the country.” S&S also offers a youth archery league, which begins

Inside Business Track Family owned and operated since the late 1960’s, the S&S Taxidermy and Archery Pro Shop was once merely a 1,200 square foot operation in the home of Jerry Stedman. However, in 1991, Stedman Sr. retired and handed his business over to son Brian Stedman, who took the store from 1,200 to 20,000 square feet and positioned himself in the perfect location, just off Route 219 in Springville, New York. Not only specializing in taxidermy and archery supplies, S&S has quite a bit to offer the avid sportsman. Carrying everything from archery supplies to handguns, shotguns, muzzle loaders, trapping supplies, ice fishing gear, camouflage clothing, turkey calls, ammunition and scopes - to name a few - S&S is a bit more than your traditional outdoor store … not to mention the indoor interactive archery range that is available for use by the public. “We also have a sign shop in the building where we print t-shirt graphics, vehicle wraps, banners, billboards, sporting uniforms, helmets … just about anything you can think of,” says Brian. Additionally, there are approximately 300 mounts on display that individuals can take a walk-through tour to view. Interestingly enough, their taxidermy is also open to the public. “Unlike other taxidermists, we let everyone walk through and see what we’re doing. You could watch one of our specialists mount an entire deer if you’d like,” says

every January. Children are taught safety procedures and how to shoot bows properly. Brian and his team are looking forward to the IBO World Championship, which is being held at Holiday Valley. “People from all over the world will be there,” he says,. “We don’t usually set up a booth, because many will stop by to practice, especially if it’s raining.” S&S isn’t the only thing that Brian is the front runner for. In his free time, he is the President of the Springville Baseball League and on the board of directors for the Springville Midget Football League. He also coaches softball.

Architectural Digest A Vagabond’s Eclectic Wonder STORY AND PHOTOS BY JOHN THOMAS
In the past several weeks, leading up to the Chamber of Commerce Home and Garden Tour, we’ve been featuring some of the houses on the tour. This week’s home is certain to be one of the most intriguing homes on the tour. Eclectic is the only way to describe this house; an artist inspired collection of art work, memorabilia, avant-garde furniture, and just plain stuff. The artist/owner has traveled the world and her home is filled with various items collected from all her trips. Darleen Allen purchased the century old house
about 30 years ago and when she’s not running her business and traveling, has devoted a great deal of time and money to improving it. Start with the backyard. The park-like setting is home to numerous sitting areas, each with its own personality. An oversized deck extends from the house and is home to the barbeque and two covered eating areas. Just off the deck is a miniature pond with a waterfall. Adjacent to the pond is a stone bench under an umbrella. It’s the perfect spot for relaxing and listening to the burble of the waterfall. Follow the stone path to a quiet sitting area under the shade of
The backyard offers a park-like setting with numerous sitting areas, each with its own personality. You can experience it for yourself as this home is one of the many locations on the Home & Garden Tour. This backyard will come alive on July 3 with live music and a wine bar. Tickets for the Tour are now available at the Ellicottville Chamber office.
a spreading maple tree. As if that wasn’t enough tranquility for you, move around to the Japanese style rock garden with its own waterfall, gong and Buddha statue. The serenity and quiet of the backyard defies the fact that it’s just a few steps away from downtown. Before I move into the house, I must venture up a narrow stairway in the entryway to the meditation loft. It’s a tiny carpeted space with just enough headroom to sit. Here there is a yoga mat and pillows for stretching and meditation. It feels secretive and quiet, and the perfect place to escape a house full of people. Inside the home, surprises abound. From the hand carved burl coffee table, to the copper sunset backsplash behind the stove, the kitchen is alive with candles, plants and artwork. The center island holds the sink and work area. Over in the breakfast nook the hand painted windows still let in a fair amount of light. The wood floor picks up the browns and beiges from the walls and counter. I go into the living room and step into a world of eclectic treasures collected from all across the world, and none of them “purchasedâ€? from a typical store. The rough hewn handmade sofa looks across the room to the fireplace with its massive wood hearth. Up on the walls I see several antique sleds gliding across the green surfaces; they mingle with a cluster of original art pieces, created by the owner. Looking about the room, I keep trying to come up with a term for the style of dĂŠcor: Mountain Chic? Rich Hippy? Rustic Lavish? Nothing fits; this room, like the rest of the house, defies classification. The dining room with its red walls and gold accents seems right out of a sultan’s parlor. On the sides of the windows, ivy climbs its way up molded columns. On the opposite wall the subject of a painting extends out of its frame and travels

across the wall. The silver pieces on the dining room table are family heirlooms. The upstairs hallway bears mementos of Darleen’s Ecuadorian travels. Small handmade rugs protect the floor. On the wall are photos of people she has met in her travels. The rooms here on the top floor are all themed to represent some of the owner’s favorite places. The master bedroom
is the Montana room, adorned with yokes, halters, milk cans, and oil lanterns; seems to have been lifted whole out of an old ranch. Parts of an old barn door function as window shutters. The master bath is a Victorian delight with its antique tub, chandelier, and lace curtains. The Colorado room features burlap walls, and the Guatemala room holds mementos of travels to that country.
As a treat for those on the Home Tour, Darleen is going to have live music and a wine bar in her backyard. Saturday, July 3 is the date; 11am-4pm are the hours. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see this unique house, and the other spectacular homes and gardens on the tour. Tickets are available at the Chamber of Commerce office and are $15 in advance or $20 the day of the tour.

LET’S TALK REAL ESTATE! HOMES WITH DETACHED VIEWS Current market conditions may call for sellers to shed their previously held notions about their homes’ worth. Setting a price for a home about to go on the market involves checking statistics of recent comparable sales in the seller’s area. On the basis of this information and prevailing market conditions, the real estate agent will recommend a price range. Sellers are urged to look beyond their subjective views of their homes and adopt a more detached view. While much time and money may have been spent on their homes, sellers cannot realistically expect to recoup this investment beyond what the marketplace considers to be reasonable. To help them expand their perspective, sellers should visit properties being marketed in their communities. If you are considering the sale of your property, contact me. I will provide you with a free market analysis that will indicate the most realistic price you can expect to obtain under current market conditions. Proper pricing saves valuable time and attracts the appropriate buyers. Reach me today at 716-474-5646. I will arrange an initial meeting. HINT: If you are selling your home for less than what you could have expected two years ago, chances are that a home in the same general area that you are considering buying will also cost less.

Another great Ellicottville event, the fourth annual Women’s Weekend has just went off without a hitch. What a great time had by all. Each year the event gets better and better and we attract amazing women who engage in workshops of selfdiscovery and get to experience our quaint little town. Women’s Weekend is a great opportunity to spend time with other wise, knowledgeable, and beautiful women. The experience always empowers me. I love sharing my personal wisdom, insight, and experience with each woman who attends my workshop or simply whomever I meet. I have searched long and
incredible creatures; when we all come together there is a wonderful thing that happens between us. I believe that we have an intuitive nature that allows us to bond on an intimate level effortlessly, sharing, listening, and allowing ourselves to experience the lives of those around us learning and growing. The writing workshop allowed women to begin to explore and express their emotions, thoughts, and experiences on paper. A freeing exercise that I often practice, but never had the opportunity to do during a group workshop. Hearing what other women wrote was truly heartfelt. It occurred to me that Women’s Weekend is this opportunity for personal transformation, encouraging otherwise selfless women to take time to focus only on themselves. Being able to spend an entire weekend surrounded by women is energizing and enlightening. Being part of a Women’s Weekend is an experience all women should have. I highly recommend it as it will be an opportunity to learn about yourself as well as others you might have not ever known. Questions? Comments?

hard and finally realized that I have natural gifts, strengths, and talents. My gifts have finally come to life and I cherish the opportunity to pass what I have experienced on to other women so they, too, can grow and development, achieving their greatest potential. Women are amazing, selfless creatures who have often been groomed to put the needs of others before their own. I love to empower women, giving them permission to love themselves first. To start living a life they have chosen. I inspire them to engage in personal self-exploration and discovery of their own natural gifts, strengths, and talents. I have often stated, “How can we begin to understand others, if we have not invested time in getting to know yourselves.” I am passionate about the continuous journey of personal growth and development, and during Women’s Weekend, I am giving the opportunity to engage others in what I know. The above is what I journaled about during an exercise in a writing workshop. I attended the workshop hoping to gain some new writing skills and instead walked away with a great gift of hearing other women share their personal thoughts, feelings, and goals. What a truly amazing experience. Women really are

SALAMANCA - The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) National Citizenship Education Teachers’ Award recognizes the nation’s top teachers for their promotion of citizenship education in their classrooms. Three Salamanca City Central School teachers have been honored as winners by the Cattaraugus-Allegany VFW County Council. Elementary teacher Ms. Tracy Morlock, middle school teacher Mrs. Margaret Smith, and high school teacher Mrs. Brooke Canale were honored at the County Council’s annual convention in Little Valley on May 1, 2010. The annual competition begins every fall with teachers
being nominated by their administrators and receiving a sponsorship by a local VFW Post. Salamanca Post 5296 sponsored these teachers and was very pleased that they all advanced to the VFW’s district level of competition. Salamanca is in the Sixth District which includes Cattaraugus, Allegany, Chautauqua, and Erie Counties. Two of the SCCSD’s three teachers won at the District level – Ms. Morlock and Mrs. Smith – and they received honors at the VFW’s District Convention in Wellsville on Saturday, June 5, 2010. Ms. Morlock went on to even higher recognition as the NYS VFW Outstanding Citizenship
Education Elementary Teacher, receiving her awards as well as a plaque for Seneca Elementary. Her entry then was forwarded onto the national competition. Go to the VFW website www.vfw.org/PR/Scholarships/ Teachers2010.PDF - to see the final list of national and state winners; Ms. Morlock and Seneca Elementary areb listed first under New York State. Salamanca City Central School District is proud to congratulate Ms. Morlock, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Canale on their accomplishments in this competition. Our students are the real winners with such fine teachers to instruct and guide them. b

Last week, I addressed questions regarding personal training that I often get asked. This week, let’s look at additional inquiries that I received through your e-mails. Is my scale reliable for telling my body weight? A scale represents our overall weight. However, it neglects body frame, gender, age, body hydration/water, genetic makeup, hormonal changes and body composition. The scale is NOT a reliable method for determining body weight/ composition and health status. It’s inexpensive, non-intrusive, doesn’t require a professional or user fees for special equipment. For these reasons, that is why it is widely used. By contrast, the use of calipers or water submersion testing administered by qualified personnel can determine a true, reliable body
weight and focus specifically on percentage of body fat vs. muscle mass percentage. How can I improve my sense of balance using exercises? Balance, weight transference, and spatial awareness are key skills needed for ANY physical activity. Regardless of age, balance is something that we need to continually maintain and “practice.” When personally training, I try to employ the Stability Ball for promoting these key skills and for strengthening the core muscle groups. Also, exercises performed on a B.O.S.U. Ball or a Fulcrum Balance Board are great for establishing these key skills, while promoting cardio endurance and muscular strength - all at the same time. However, remember to progress at strengthening your balance gradually. Otherwise, you could suffer frustration or injury. Is there an affordable way that I can effectively change up the intensity of my workouts? There are various ways to alter the intensity of your workouts. The most effective and affordable ones are: i) plane of motion, ii) body lever length in association with body vs. gravity and iii) duration and speed of the movement (discussed in last week’s article). When teaching and training, I always stress that these variables can TREMENDOUSLY alter the intensity of any movement. The length of your arm(s) and leg(s) in exercise makes an enormous difference. If you want
FESTA ITALIANA: JULY 16-18 ~ ST. JOHN’S CHURCH, OLEAN
less intensity, then keep your limbs “body levers” shortened and close to your body’s core. In this position, there’s less stress on the joint (fulcrum point) and involved muscles and less effort needed to move the resistance or weight at the end of the “lever.” (Example: carrying a weight close to your body vs. carrying it at arm’s length.) Also, when we position a weight close to our bodies, other muscle groups may assist in the movement, thereby making it less demanding/intense on one specific muscle group. Intensity can also vary, depending on whether an exercise is most effectively performed vertically vs. horizontally. This factor deals with an exercise’s “plane of motion.” Not all exercises or equipment are created equal. You can achieve the best workouts and most suited intensity when you find the perfect “fit” between type and combinations of exercises, equipment, length of body lever and plane of motion.

Qualifier CONT. FROM FRONT PAGE use a bow and arrow? Jennings notes the technique is all in your arms, shoulders, and back muscles. This certainly includes women. “The ladies will shoot around the mid-thirties in pounds (drawn) while the guys stay right around fifty pounds, up to about eighty pounds.” The distance to the targets varies with the class. “There are 32 classes, ranging from the Cup Class for little kids (which would be) fifteen yards, right up to fifty yards for the
pros.” The targets themselves are not the usual bulls-eye type. These McKenzie targets, according to Jennings, “look just like a real animal” and may resemble anything from a turkey “all the way to a moose.” The targets look very realistic, “to the point where some of my deer targets get smashed by real deer.” The course is also home to much wildlife, including fawns. Spectators are welcome at the World Qualifier. People are permitted to watch the participants on the practice range, or they can walk the course. Only remember that “there is no disturbing of the
shooters.” Family members and friends often go out and walk the course with the shooters “and they just stand back and watch the guys shoot.” All the participants have to do is show up with their equipment and they will be registered the day of the event. Once the results of the qualifier are known, individuals will be notified if they qualify for the World Championships. Plaques will be awarded to the first three places in each class. The top twenty shooters in each class qualify for the I.B.O World Championship and Archery Festival to be held August 1214 at Holiday Valley.

special events. Patra Lowes ran down several of the events: Summer Festival - the chamber may book some entertainment for the gazebo, and the mayor inquired as to whether the cost for the extra police would be split between the town, village and the chamber. American Folk Art Festival - their application has been received by the Festival Committee. Jazz Festival – the committee is in discussion with the planners. Taste of Ellicottville – the vendors are being asked not to use the grass areas along Washington Street, and to have the streets clear by 5pm. The motion to approve the permit for Taste passed. A motion was made to allow a Cystic Fibrosis fundraiser in September, where people will walk through the town and use the gazebo. The motion passed. There was discussion about banning inflatables (i.e. giant inflated beer bottles) during events. Patra asked the DPW to talk to Modern Disposal about establishing a recycling
Allegany CONT. FROM FRONT PAGE original Company served the community for 13 years before a fire destroyed the station on February 20, 1903. In March 1909, volunteers, using hand drawn equipment organized Allegany Hose Company #1; it was housed on West Main Street at the corner of North Fifth Street where it remained until it was moved to its present location in 1959. Today the Allegany Old Home Week is a sound tradition, and I had the opportunity to talk with Jim Willson, president of the Allegany Engine Company, currently hard at work to ensure a safe and successful carnival season, and former Company Chief Jim Boser who is serving as the carnival’s publicity chairman, about the upcoming events. “This year we’re going to have live entertainment on Friday and Saturday; Misbehavior will be playing Friday night and The Jam will be playing on Saturday night. We’re also having steak sandwiches served on Tuesday along with our sausage, onions
Theater CONT. FROM PAGE 5 also feature seven children from the Olean Theatre Workshop. “It’s kind of neat because people from New York are coming and we’ll (local hires) be able to work with professionals,” said D.B.

program for festivals. Under new business, the mayor submitted a schedule of all the Village’s fees for permits, signage and the like. He said the time had come to increase the fees and submitted a new schedule with across the board increased fees. The new schedule was approved and the increased fees will go into effect immediately. A motion was made to allow a Rural Letter Carrier Convention being held at Holiday Valley to convey the attendees through the village on horsedrawn wagons. They are not making any stops and only one wagon at a time will pass through the village, thus they do not need a full parade permit. The organization has full insurance and they will provide cleanup for the horses. The mayor responded, “This is the kind of small convention they book at Holiday Valley, and we have a beautiful village and we like to show it off.” The constable reported that he will be at the four corners intersection and will get the wagons through the stoplight. A motion was made and passed to approve the event. There was discussion about the
huge semi-trucks going through town. The mayor pointed out that in particular the area around Rockwell has a lot of children and he’s concerned there could be an accident. There will be a public meeting next month to consider posting a sign reading “No thru trucks” on Rockwell. The mayor reported that the bidding process has begun to repair the roof on a DPW building. There will be a public notice for bids in the paper this week. The Constable, Building Inspector, Engineer, and Treasurer reports were all accepted as submitted. The mayor complimented the DPW for “doing a fine job” maintaining the streets. Mayor Coolidge reported that last year when the economy first started to “go south” he had made substantial cutbacks in the village budget. He said that as he had suspected, receipts from state sales and property taxes are down sharply this year. Due to the cuts he made, the actual money coming in is only $1,500 less than he budgeted for expenses, adding, “that’s nothing.” There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
and peppers,” says Mr. Willson. “We’re also going to have our water fights on Wednesday and Kiddie Parade on Friday, and of course our Grand Parade will be Saturday.” According to Mr. Boser, Old Home Week goes back over seventy years. “In fact,” he says, “this is our seventy-third year to be exact; it started out as a pretty small thing and it’s grown.” He says the event was originally held on the opposite side of the street where a car wash and a Wilson Farms now stand. “We started having the big carnivals over there in 1946, back when we had a main gate you had to pay a quarter to get in.” He also spoke of a free late show, “late at night by 11:00 they had the Great Wilmo there and they would shoot him out of a cannon and he’d fly over two ferris wheels.” In the seventies the fire company purchased the lot where they currently hold the carnivals when the old lot, which they didn’t own, became unsuitable. During this year’s Firemen’s Grand Parade, they will stop to salute the memorial on the lawn of the Town Hall, “something a little different this year,” says Mr. Willson. “I guess they
don’t know exactly how many companies will be there [but] I know we have a couple of guys coming in from Erie [so] come out and have a good time!” Mr. Willson earnestly proclaimed. The fireman’s Grand Parade is scheduled for Saturday, June 26 at 6:30pm. Afterwards The Jam will play at the Pavilion area at Firemen’s Park from 8pm-midnight. And don’t miss the Kiddie Parade on Friday at 6:30pm. Free refreshments and prizes will be awarded at the Allegany Fire Department Building on North First Street. Misbehavior will be playing at the Pavilion area at Firemen’s Park from 8pm-midnight. The Old Home Week Carnival lot opens 6-11pm June 22 through June 25; the lot will open for the Kids Matinee on Saturday, June 26 1-5pm and will reopen from 6pm-midnight. You can inquire about special fees and discount coupons at the Firemen’s Cook Stand or the Allegany Village Clerk’s Office. For more information about the Kiddies Parade, contact Mark Hensel at 378-0937. For a detailed schedule and general information about Allegany and Old Home Week, log on to www.allegany.org
economic prosperity to the area … and put Olean on the map,” said Anne ConroyBaiter, executive director of the Cattaraugus County Arts Council. The Council is not affiliated with county agencies, but was approached by the Festival to spread the word about the Festival and what they have to offer the Olean area and residents. “Whenever you bring any culture or arts to the area, you bring a lot of people out and that is always good because it can invigorate the economy,” said Leo Ash Even, NYC actor. Even though the City of
Olean cannot directly support the Festival’s initiative, it can in its own way. “The city can’t offer support, but can encourage,” said Mayor Linda L. Witte. She also believes that the performances will draw people from Buffalo, Erie and Pennsylvania to the Olean area. The new group will begin performances on June 24 and will last until August 29. “It’s really an honor to create something from the ground up,” Fletcher said.

“LET THE EXPERTS HANDLE IT!”
Rural Letter Carriers Convention Coming to HV E’VILLE – A year ago, a few Rural Letter Carriers from Cattaraugus County and representatives from Holiday Valley Resort met to plan submitting a bid to be hosts for the annual New York State Rural Letter Carriers Association convention. At last year’s NYRLCA convention held in Liverpool, NY, the membership voted by ballot and selected Cattaraugus County as the host site. Our convention planning committee has been working diligently with Holiday Valley Resort representatives to present a fun and memorable convention. This year’s convention will be held July 5-8 at Holiday Valley Resort. Rural Letter Carriers and their families from across New York State will be in attendance. We are encouraging the convention attendees to venture into the village and check out our unique shops and try our fabulous restaurants. We know we can count on everyone to extend the hospitality that we have become known for. For you book lovers, there will be a “Book Sale” in the lobby of The Inn at Holiday Valley. This will be open to the public. Scheduling isn’t complete yet, so watch future issues for times and dates of the Book Sale.

SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT YOU ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING YOUR HOME. IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT IN THIS FORECLOSURE ACTION, YOU MAY LOSE YOUR HOME. PLEASE READ THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT CAREFULLY. YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY CONTACT AN ATTORNEY OR YOUR LOCAL LEGAL AID OFFICE TO OBTAIN ADVICE ON HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF. SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE The state encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid office, there are government agencies and non-profit organizations that you may contact for information about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during this process.

FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services. § 1303 NOTICE NOTICE YOU ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING YOUR HOME If you do not respond to this summons and complaint by serving a copy of the answer on the attorney for the mortgage company who filed this foreclosure proceeding against you and filing the answer with the court, a default judgment may be entered and you can lose your home. Speak to an attorney or go to the court where your case is pending for further information on how to answer the summons and protect your property. Sending a payment to your mortgage company will not stop this foreclosure action. YOU MUST RESPOND BY SERVING A COPY OF THE ANSWER ON THE ATTORNEY FOR THE PLAINTIFF (MORTGAGE COMPANY) AND FILING THE ANSWER WITH THE COURT. DATED: June 2, 2010 Steven J. Baum, P.C., Attorney(s) For Plaintiff(s), 220 Northpointe Parkway Suite G, Amherst, NY 14228 The law firm of Steven J.

To solve a Sudoku puzzle, place a number into each box so that each row across, each column down, and each small 9-box square within the larger diagram (there are 9 of these) will contain every number from 1 through 9. In other words, no number will appear more than once in any row, column, or smaller 9-box square. Working with the numbers already given as a guide, complete each diagram with the missing numbers that will lead to the correct solution. Good luck!
