The Harlem Wizards In Olean Inside Business Track Gardening Day: The Home Landscape ... page 5 By Gary Dulanksi The Arboretum has been a staple in Ellicottville’s nature education center since its organization in 1976 and is home to more than 250 species of trees, shrubs, flowers, and herbs.

This Saturday, the Arboretum and the Cornell Cooperative Extension building located right next door will be the location for the 3rd annual “Gardening Day” event, hosted by the Cornell Cooperative Exension Master Gardener Program of Cattaraugus County. Master Gardeners will be on hand for a full morning of presentations related to home landscape topics.
Basketball Show-Team Scheduled to Play High School Faculty May 18 OLEAN - The Harlem Wizards, founded in 1962, are one of the greatest basketball show-team organizations to ever “lace it up and let ‘em fly.” They have scheduled a basketball game in Olean against the Olean High School Faculty and Gus Macker Community Members on Tuesday, May 18 at the Olean High School.

Admittedly, there’s not a lot going on these days to keep one fabulously entertained. With everything this little village has to offer, we get used to that, I think. Oh, now – Willy Nelson will be performing this weekend at the Casino in
Salamanca – which is pretty exciting. Maybe Saturday night he’ll have his chauffeur give him a lift to the Double Diamond for a brew or two – you just never can tell with these celebrity types. But generally, with the exception of Willy Boy, it’s going to be a quiet weekend. And you know what? That’s okay by me! It gives everyone a chance to catch up on things you should’ve finished already, or a head start on things you’ll need to get done so you can enjoy all the fun stuff later this season. That’s the best part of early May. Honest Abe said: “Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.” I’ve been taking advantage of this early slack period by
spending considerable time in Bemus Point, working on The Villager’s sister paper, (going from our off-season quarterly schedule to our summer-heavy monthly routine – exciting stuff!) Others I know are following suit by performing lawn and garden chores, putting away the last remnants of the ski season, and tuning up their mountain bikes. It’s also time to take those golf lessons which might save you some embarrassing moments later this summer. So, dear readers, it’s time to take care of your serious business so you can partake in all Ellicottville has to offer during the lazy days of summer. Get crackin’! Until next week! Jeanine Zimmer

Plant Exchange Tangled Twigs of Ellicottville Sets Annual Event for May 16 E’VILLE – Just like a seedling, the annual Ellicottville plant exchange continues to grow. Fourteen years ago, on a cold and rainy day, a few of us got together and swapped plants from our gardens. Last year, on a balmy spring day, about 40 green thumbed friends participated. So mark Sunday, May 16 on your calendar and join the 14th annual Plant Exchange! We’ve all been to those
Christmas cookie exchanges – a great way to have a nice variety of Christmas cookies without baking them all yourself. Why not a plant exchange? This is how it works: when your perennials start poking their little heads up this spring, pot up those extra volunteers or divide some of your really big clumps (they will be very happy for some breathing room!) On Sunday, May 16, we’ll set up some tables at #1 Monroe Street
in Ellicottville (down the street from The Barn Restaurant). Bring your plants (as many as you want) at 9am. We’ll set them on the tables, browse around and chat with the other gardeners and start swapping at about 9:30am. You’ll pick out the new plants that you want from the table. (For each plant you bring you may choose a different plant.) The swap will be over by 10am. For info, call MJ Brown at 716-699-2736.
The time to plan is now, when you have control over how your assets will be available for your use and be distributed according to your wishes.

Ellicottville Sets Record Lodging Revenue Up 22% In the first quarter of 2010 (December 1, 2009 through February 28, 2010) Ellicottville set a record for the most overnight stays since we started keeping records in 2004. Lodging revenue was up 22% over 2009 and 10% over 2008, the previous best. Bed tax collection reports supplied by the County Treasurer’s office show a total of
$244,741 was collected from lodging facilities throughout the county during this threemonth period. Of the total, 81% or $191,898 was from Ellicottville. “The addition of the new $40 million dollar Tamarack Club at Holiday Valley helped boost the numbers,” stated Brian McFadden of the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce. “We have also been concentrating
our marketing and PR efforts in Ontario, and with even exchange rates we saw a significant increase in visitation from across the border,” he went on to say. Things are looking very positive for the coming summer months with event ticket sales selling well and website activity up. Log onto www.ellicottvilleny.com for a complete list of events.

Up Close & Personal Kelly Friel: E’ville Chamber’s New Member Services Coordinator BY ANJANETTE NICOLAZZO Kelly Friel, an Ellicottville resident, was recently appointed as the new Member Services Coordinator at the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce. Her duties include spearheading new memberships, event management, website updates, membership administration and general office duties. She will be filling the former position of Jennifer Freiburger, who was recently promoted to Administrative Coordinator. A Franklinville native, Friel attended Franklinville Area High School where she was active in cheerleading. During her senior year, she met her now husband Dan, who was an Ellicottville resident. Upon graduating, Friel moved to Ellicottville to take a job at The Inn at Holiday Valley, where she was employed for four years. Not only did she take reservations at the front desk, but she also helped out in the sales department, setting up meetings and conferences. Following her job at The Inn, she progressed into a threeyear-job working the front desk at Century 21 Real Estate in Ellicottville. Afterward, she moved on to Tool Source for the subsequent five years. Friel is currently dubbed as Member Services Coordinator at the Chamber of Commerce, and is quite pleased about her new position. “I have learned great customer service skills over the years at the various jobs I’ve held in town,” says Friel. She continues, “I’ve met so many

great people in Ellicottville over the past years, and I’ll be able to put that to work dealing with new members; I love the town.” Aside from her general duties as Member Services Coordinator, Friel says, “You also have to have excellent computer skills and a great personality to make this job happen.” In July 2007, Friel married her high school sweetheart Dan, a lifelong Ellicottville resident whose parents also live in the village. Friel says she and her husband enjoy being active in the village, going out for dinner, visiting with friends and having a few cocktails on
occasion. In her free time, Friel is an active scrapbooker. “I scrapbook for my niece – all of her photos, school memories, newspaper clippings, and special times – everything. I’ve been keeping a collection for her since she was born, approximately 9 years ago,” says Friel. Additionally, she also enjoys working in her garden. So, if you see Kelly at the Chamber, gallivanting around town dining, working in her garden or perhaps taking a stroll down one of the lovely streets of Ellicottville, be sure to give her a warm hello and a congratulations on her new position.

My name is Erica Walker. I am 35 years old. I have most recently been attending Erie Community College in hopes of attaining my Registered Nursing degree. I have about another year before I complete it. However, I’ve decided to take a break from it while attending to my most recent illness. I am trying to be brave and stay healthy enough until I can receive a kidney transplant. Doctors say I’m fairly young to be diagnosed with CKD. I have been receiving dialysis treatments for about a year now. I worked at Interstate Baking Company for 10 years prior to the plant closing a few years back. They made Wonder Bread and Hostess products right here in Buffalo, NY. My boyfriend, Jim, and I have recently purchased and moved into our first home. We’re very excited. Our plans are to marry and raise a family here in Cheektowaga.

BY GARY DULANSKI Are you in need of some home landscaping and gardening advice? Come on out to the Nannen Arboretum where the Cornell Cooperative Extension Master Gardener Program of Cattaraugus County will present “Gardening Day: The Home Landscape” this Saturday, May 8, 2010 from 8:30am-1pm at the Cornell Cooperative Extension Building, located near the Arboretum at 28 Parkside Drive in Ellicottville, New York. There will be master gardeners on hand for a full morning of presentations related to Home Landscape topics. Participants will have their choice of three topics in three separate sessions. Session one offers: (a) site assessment in the home garden, (b) composting, or (c) poisonous plants in your garden. Session two offers: (a) functional landscape issues, (b) flowers to dry and press, or (c) using native plants in your garden. Session three offers: (a) accessible gardening for those with limited abilities, (b) creating winter interest in the garden, or (c) outdoor kitchen gardening with veggies and herbs. Event Keynote speaker will be Horticulture Educator Kabel Kellogg who has been hard at work in preparation. “He’s made some benches out there for us; he’s quite creative,” says Marilyn Gold, Facility Manager of the Cooperative Extension Building. “Kabel is making a staged landscape display
with paving stones, mulch and plants.” There will also be a gardening related Chinese auction. “This is a real nice event for people who want to improve their home landscape,” says event speaker Nan Miller. Mrs. Miller has been gardening her whole life; her parents were gardeners and she was certified as a Master Gardener through the Cornell Cooperative Exchange. “It’s a great learning experience for us as well, we all love it!” she said enthusiastically. The Arboretum has been a staple in Ellicottville’s nature education center since its organization in 1976 and is home to more than 250 species of trees, shrubs, flowers, and herbs. It includes several Japanese gardens, a pond with fish, a large herb garden, and nature walks. The name Nannen was given to the arboretum in recognition of William and Sadie Nannen who donated the land in 1958, and were very instrumental in raising needed funds to make the arboretum come to life in lush brilliance. The planting of two Colorado blue spruce trees was named in their honor. In 1975, the Young Adult Conservation Corp (YACC) built the Adirondack lean-to overlooking the pond. The lean-to was part of a County Employment Training Agency (CETA) Title 6 project during Jimmy Carter’s administration. Since 1980 the Arboretum has also sported a model of Ryoanji
Temple Stone Garden of Kyoto, Japan. Zen priests built the original Ryoanji stone garden over 800 years ago; the first replica in this country was built at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens in New York City. The Nannen Arboretum’s Temple was constructed in 1980 and is meant to be a meditation and contemplation garden. Granite grit is used as a ground cover because it is heavier than sand and makes the ripples left by the tines of the rakes look like water. The large stones represent islands and were mined in Akron, New York. The Third annual “Gardening Day” event will be held at the Arboretum on Saturday, May 8 starting at 8:30am. Since participants can only sign up for three classes (one in each session), packets will be handed out at the end of the day containing written information from all nine classes so no one will miss out on valuable information. Aside from Saturday’s main event, the Arboretum is the perfect place for personal introspection. Whether you are there to just look around or to hold your wedding ceremony, the scenery is inspirational and will never displease. Nannen Arboretum is located at the intersection of Fillmore Drive and Parkside Drive in Ellicottville, NY. It is open to the public from dawn to dusk, 365 days a year, free of charge though donations are always welcome.

Architectural Digest A Little Island of Sanity in a Hectic World STORY AND PHOTOS BY JOHN THOMAS In our chaotic world of instant messages, fast food, and 24 hour global news, it’s more necessary than ever that our homes provide an antidote from the noise and clutter of modern
life. There is a home in the quiet of East Randolph that is sure to help you slow down, relax and enjoy the advantages of country living. Even the street it’s on, with its 20-mile-per-hour speed limit, forces you to slow down and take it easy. When I arrive at the house, the first thing I do
The home’s large main room, currently being used as a music room, is large enough that the baby grand piano doesn’t take up all the space. The kitchen is bright and sunny, and the master bedroom is cozy and warm with plum walls and thick carpeting, and it sports two rather generous closets.
is get out of the car and listen. The only thing I can hear are birds chirping in the trees. The home was built in 1900 as a farmhouse, and over the years its owners have lovingly updated and restored it. The original lathe and plaster walls have been replaced with modern wallboard, and the home sports a new metal roof and garage added only a few years ago. The front porch bathes in the early morning sunlight, and is perfect for that morning cup of coffee and the paper. When you are inside the house, its charms become readily apparent. The front door opens to a large main room, currently being used as a music room; large enough that the baby grand piano doesn’t take up all the space. The beautiful hardwood floor picks up the warm tones of the wainscoting. The green walls and door trim are the perfect compliment for the interior color scheme. Just off the main room is a small room that could be a child’s play area or den. Also off the main room is the family room. The entertainment center is here, along with a pellet stove to provide diversion and warmth on winter nights. The three generous windows look out to the street. Off the family room is the master bedroom, and while I have to say it’s not the largest master bedroom I’ve seen, it’s cozy and warm with plum walls and thick carpeting. It should also be mentioned that this master bedroom sports two rather generous closets. The kitchen is bright and sunny, and its old style floor plan reflects the days when the entire family used to gather around the dining table in the kitchen for meals. But, there is nothing old about the stateof-the-art dishwasher, gas range, and refrigerator, which create an efficient workspace. The cabinets are new natural oak, and the window over the double sink looks out to the big backyard. Just off the kitchen is a room that connects to the garage. It’s currently being used

as a mud/craft room, but could be converted to a formal dining room or extra large pantry. Also off the kitchen is the utility room which homes a washer and dryer and the heating unit for the hot water baseboard heating system. Upstairs is the kids bedroom and more closet space. There is a large unfinished attic area that the seller is converting to another master bedroom or whatever use a potential buyer might want to make of it. It’s a generous space and when finished will easily be the biggest room in the house.
Outside I find the oversized two-car garage. Inside it’s plenty big enough to store cars, snowmobiles and all the lawn gear you can imagine. At 2.5 acres the backyard is in a word: huge. Rolling hills provide the backdrop across the expanse of lawn. There is room enough here for keeping a horse or a couple of alpacas. Walking around the backyard, I again realize just how quiet the area is - no traffic noise, ringing telephones, or blaring televisions. There are neighbors on the street, but standing here I am unaware of

With all this in mind, savvy real estate agents can best represent sellers’ interests by appealing to this large share of potential buyers. I am here to assure that your property is marketed appropriately. My successful 22 plus years’ history of assisting sellers assures that you attract the right buyers through a strategic, individualized market plan. Whether it’s targeting international clients or a buyer from the next town over, your success in selling is my #1 priority. Contact me today at 716-474-5646.

BY DR. DIONNE KRESS If asked, could you name the five best Academy Award winners, five people who have won the Nobel Peace prize or five of the wealthiest people in the world? I don’t know about you, but I struggle to remember many of the greatest achievements of yesterday. When the fan fare diminishes, the awards begin to collect dust, and the moment of achievement has passed, no one seems to
think of or care about who won which award. If I asked you to think about five friends who have helped you through a major life event, a teacher or a mentor who believe in your talents and encouraged you, five people who have influenced your life in a positive way or a person who made you feel appreciated, you might find the question easier to answer. The people who have made a difference in your life are not typically those who have the most money, achieved the most credentials, or acquired the most awards. The people who have made the most impact are those who genuinely care. If you want to have an important influence in someone’s life, simply make him or her feel appreciated. Appreciation is one of the secrets to success. When you practice appreciation, it puts you into a positive emotional state. When you practice appreciation, you express gratitude and experience a feeling of internal abundance. It has been suggested that when
you are appreciating what you are doing instead of focusing on or complaining about what you don’t have, you will receive more of what you desire. The law of attraction states that like attracts like and the more you are in a state of gratitude the more you will attract to be grateful for. This practice of appreciation and gratitude creates an upward-spiraling synergy of ever-increasing abundance that just keeps getting better and better. Consider this: aren’t you more likely to give gifts to people who are grateful for them? The more grateful and appreciative someone is for something you may have done for him or her, the more likely you are to do it again. Practice appreciation. Start making it a habit. Try to express appreciation to 10 people a day. Discover ways to practice appreciation and make it an unconscious habit. Questions? Comments?

We all have heard how unhealthy too much sodium is for us. Let’s look at some strategies to avoid overconsumption of this popular food-enhancer. It’s important to note that we do need sodium to function. This electrolyte controls our body’s blood volume and fluid levels, as it pumps water into our cells to keep us hydrated. Our kidneys regulate the

years. (Exception: Endurance athletes exercising daily for 2 hours or more require more than the daily recommended sodium allowance.) Research indicates that, in Canada, men consume approximately 4100mg of sodium daily, while women daily consume 2900mg. As well, 77% of children ages 1-3 years consume almost twice the recommended daily intake (1000mg/day). Overall, the Canadian average, regarding daily sodium consumption is approx. 3092mg. Meanwhile, Canada doesn’t stand alone in the findings, as many other countries reveal comparable stats, as well. Globally speaking, daily sodium intakes vary - and it depends on the country. The KEY strategy seems to be a set system of government regulations, regarding food preparation and processing. For example, since the 1970’s, Finland has reduced its sodium

amount of sodium in our bodies; excess sodium forces them to work harder, as it is eliminated via our urine. However, if our kidneys can’t eliminate enough sodium due to its large daily intake, then the excess accumulates in our blood. The excess sodium forces our bodies to hold even more water, our blood volume increases and our hearts must then work even harder. Our blood pressure can increase, as well as our risk of stroke and/ or heart disease. What is an acceptable amount, regarding daily sodium intake? The (Canadian) Heart and Stroke Foundation recommends that the maximum daily sodium consumption is 1 teaspoon (2300mg). Specifically, 1000mg is the recommended maximum daily intake for children ages 1-3 years, 1200mg for children 4-8 years, 1500mg for people 9-50 years, 1300mg for those aged 51-70 years and 1200mg for seniors over 70
There are certain moments in history that are marked on our psychic calendars with an X. They are dreaded moments that we can never forget. They are turning points and milestones. They are bitter reminders of division and hatred. They are misunderstandings and accidents. They are moments of bravery, cowardice and numbing fear. They bring us together while tearing us apart. History has a way of messing with our minds. She’s fickle that way. A college freshman named Dean Kahler became caught up in one of those moments. That was forty years ago and he’s still living with the scars and nightmares of, what was to become, an X on our calendars. It was a simple matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It was also much more than that. It was a tragic confluence of events brought on by a generation torn apart by grief. This wasn’t the boiling point; it was simply inevitable. This was Kent State University. May 4, 1970. Shots rang out and everything changed. The
Vietnam Conflict had landed right in the middle of the heartland and there was no turning back. This isn’t going to be a diatribe against Vietnam. We’ve done that to death and it will be debated long after we’re gone. The tragic consequences of that war are still affecting us even if we don’t know it. This is a story of an America divided. This is a lesson in both history and current events because, for people like Dean Kahler, it happened and it’s still happening. On that tragic day in 1970, Kahler was a seventeen-yearold Freshman at Kent State. The campus and the nation had been rocked by a week of angry protests brought about by Richard Nixon’s admission that he had secretly expanded the war to include the bombing of Vietnamese supply routes in Cambodia. The Governor of Ohio, facing a tough reelection bid, called for the deployment of National Guard troops on Kent’s campus. For three days Guardsmen and protestors faced each other. In what looked like a game about to go horribly wrong, the soldiers would chase the protestors away only to get chased away a short time later by rock throwing students. Back and forth it went. For some reason the University tried to go on like nothing was happening. Classes continued and students not involved in the protests went about their daily routines. Something happened on the fourth day. Through the haze of tear gas and the shouts of angry students, sixty-seven shots rang out during a thirteen-second volley. When the echoes died
away, four students lay dead. Nine others were wounded. Dean Kahler would never walk again. We are faced with two separate realities. Do we stand together, as a nation, and work out our differences at the voting booths and on the editorial pages of our local papers? Do we agree that we won’t always agree with each other? Can we let ourselves protest that which we hate without attacking each other? Or do we stand as two separate nations waiting, once again, for the inevitable shots to ring out? Is this who we want to become? Will we be torn apart by circumstances that will be, mostly, forgotten in another generation? Our lives are molded by our actions. Good or bad, we cannot change that which is already done. The Guardsman that fired the bullet that penetrated Dean Kahler’s spine cannot take back that shot. He cannot reclaim that mark on the calendar. Kahler cannot leave his dorm room thirty seconds later. He wasn’t one of the protestors but that did not change the fact that, last year, both of his feet were amputated because he was on time forty years ago. He lives with all the decisions that came before that moment. From the first advisor in Vietnam to Bobby Kennedy’s death. From one young man’s decision to join the National Guard to a president’s expansion of an unpopular war. All of these actions led to one bullet. One day in history. One mark on the calendar. Forty years ago at Kent State. Comments? E-mail Doug at shakedowndoug@hotmail.com

Lawrence said he started out as a competitor in these races and moved into the role of a promoter, and that he has been fortunate to have a positive response to the events, which continue to grow in attendance. He expects more than 150 people to take part in this Saturday’s race. Lawrence said he created HeartRateUp.com to support the hobby he loves, and to help promote and host these fun and challenging athletic events. “It is a thrill hosting these events.” He added that the event sponsors would be handing out sports related door prizes after the final race, the first 175 racers will receive a custom race bag, and that there would be a raffle. The sponsors of the Allegany Adventure Run are: Ultimate Direction, WrightSock, Julbo,
Mayer Bros., Mountain Rise Organics, Inc., Mountain Hardwear, Long Trail Brewing Co., Runner’s Roost and The Stick. Lawrence added post race snacks will be available, and there are facilities in the park for cooking, though participants must bring their own food except for the snacks. He recommends that individuals participating in the 22k race bring some extra food with them since the race will test their endurance. Awards will be presented to the top three racers in each age group of each class in each course length following the races. The 6k race will follow the Sweetwater trail, and features a few gently rolling hills and a few flat areas. The 13k race will follow Sweetwater, Christian Hollow, Leonard Run and Ridge Run trails before reaching the finish line, and features a number of rolling hills and a more challenging length. The 22k race will test your endurance since it follows the same route as
the 13k run with the addition of a 2-mile climb up Patterson Trail before reaching the finish. Water stations are located at the 1.5-mile mark on Sweetwater Trail, the 4-mile mark at the Christian Hollow and Leonard Run intersection and 3 miles before the finish line at both the Ridge Run and Patterson trails. The 22k race starts at 9:30am, the 13k race starts at 9:45am and the 6k race starts at 10am. You can register online at HeartRateUp.com or at the Summit Trailhead Ski Cabin inside the Red House section of the park starting at 8am on May 8. The cost for registering is $20 for the 6k run, and $25 for the 13k and 22k runs, and there is no additional race-day or late fees for registering in the park. Lawrence explained that the longer runs are more expensive to enter due to the amount of preparation time and support needed to cover the extra distance of these runs.

Health CONT. FROM FACING PAGE intake by 40% and its stroke and heart disease by 70%. A solid partnership and communication between its food industry and its government exists with strong consumer education. Meanwhile, Canadian consumption of sodium ranks high. A report (July 2009) put out by World Action on Salt, compared various processed and fast foods and found Canadian sodium levels to be higher than those of other countries. For example, in Canada, 100g of Kellogg’s
All Bran contained 861mg of sodium, while 100g of Kellogg’s All Bran in the U.S.A. contained 258mg. Globally, how can we all reduce our daily sodium intake and, consequently, improve our health? 1) Read the labels on packaged foods and be selective. 2) Avoid salting foods during preparation/ consumption. 3) Choose fresh, canned or frozen foods without added salt. 4) Avoid highly salted soups, condiments and broths. 5) Use healthy herbs instead of salt to season your food. 6) Avoid processed foods. 7) Increase consumer education and support a system of national and/or global
regulations, regarding the food industry.
