Feed Your Patriotic Soul at Lively Summer Events BY JEFF
COLE
While passing through any residential area in the United States, one might be oblivious to Old Glory jutting forth from a flagpole outside one or many houses. But on certain occasions, such as Memorial Day, Veterans Day and the Fourth of July, the American flag appears ubiquitous. It can be found seemingly everywhere, from flagpoles to pins to T-shirts. Unlike Memorial Day and Veterans Day, which are days solemnly observed for honoring past and present U.S. soldiers, the Fourth of July is a time to consider that which the United States was founded for. It is what the American flag proudly symbolizes and has done so, though not without alteration,
since the country was in its embryonic stages: Independence. Once again, this Fourth of July, the American flag will retain its omnipresent quality and fly proudly high while families all across the nation gather for cookouts, parades, concerts and fireworks displays in the spirit of celebrating Americaʼs independence. One might be hard-pressed to find any better place for a wide range of familyfriendly fun this Fourth of July weekend than in and around Ellicottville, which celebrated its 175th year as a village April 3.
Summer Music Festival: June 29–July 1 Like fireworks, the weekend will begin with a bang when the Summer Music Festival starts at 7 p.m. today with Steel Keys and Brass opening on Holiday Valleyʼs slopeside main stage for Sister Hazel, who will perform at 9 p.m. The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra (B.P.O.) will perform at 8 p.m. Saturday, followed by fireworks, which can be viewed from many area vantage points and will accompany the “1812 Overture” and “The Stars and Stripes Forever.” Stinger will open at 7 p.m. Sunday for the final musical act, The Guess Who, who will play at 9 p.m. Tickets, which can be purchased at the gate or online at www. ellicottvilleny.com, are $30 for Sister Hazel, $30 and $35 for the BPO and The Guess Who. The weekend will also include an arts and crafts show from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday on Jefferson Street, the annual pet parade

at 11 a.m. Saturday on Washington Street, entertainment in the gazebo from 2-5 p.m. Saturday and a Strawberry Festival sponsored by the Ellicottville Historical Society from noon to 3 p.m. Sunday.

Music in the Gazebo Series: June 30–Aug. 9 Kicking off this yearʼs Music in the Gazebo series, which will run from 7-9 p.m. every Thursday through Aug. 9 after Saturdayʼs premier, will be the classic/Southern rock cover band The Midnight Riders. Tim Brown, who plays the Hammond organ and provides some vocals for the group, said he feels great about being the seriesʼ opening act. The band will play from 2-5 p.m. “We love playing. We played up there two other times. Weʼve never been part of the actual series. Before, we played on July Fourth weekend, but it was always on a Friday Town of Ellicottville Planning Board Meeting afternoon and there werenʼt nearly as many people up there, but this time weʼre playing on a Saturday,” he said, adding that he hopes for a good The Town of Ellicottville and Coldspring Construction. opened his presentation on crowd this time while Planning Board meeting held Minutes from the February the Glen Burn Trail project by playing at the gazebo. on June 25 was called to order 2012 meeting were presented stating that the owner, Chris by Sis Signore.

Checking Out The Tunes & Other Stuff in Ellicottville
The Summer Festival of Music and Arts Weekend, organized by our hard working Chamber of Commerce, is our third festival weekend of 2012. That coupled with The Fourth of July Weekend, means we are really in for some FUN times here in Ellicottville. Starting today Friday June 29, 2012 through Thursday July 5, 2012 we will have twenty-four Bands, two DJ’s, the usual sound system events, a wonderful fireworks display plus all the neat food and beverage specials that are offered by our excellent restaurants and nightclubs. Eighteen of the bands will be this weekend and eight of the eighteen weekend bands will perform at Holiday Valley. As always, for those of us who visit or live in The Ellicottville area, the out door FUN stuff is also going strong. This includes golf, biking and hiking. For golf, just call either Elkdale Country Club or Holiday Valley, make a Tee time, then get out and enjoy the good golf times both courses have to offer. Our music kicks off at 3:00 PM this Friday afternoon in Holiday Valley’s Cabana Bar with The Theresa Quinn Trio. Theresa is an innovative pianist, vocalist and songwriter who performs an eclectic mix of bluesinfluenced to R&B standards. Then around 7:00 PM the first of the ticketed music gigs of The Summer Fest begins on Holiday Valley’s out-door music stage with Steel Keys & Brass who will be opening for Sister Hazel. Steel Keys & Brass, a four piece group with one or more on vocals, was the opening act for Rusted Root at last year’s Summer Fest. Then at 9:00 PM Sister Hazel will take the stage performing as their billing says, “Sister Hazel’s signature mix of Southern pop hooks and country rock harmonies that will keep audiences of all ages entertained”. WOW, what a great start to our super weekend! Back in the village there will be two Friday night gigs. The first will be The A List doing a 7:00 PM Friday show in Balloons. This is a five-piece classic to pop to southern rock band playing cover tunes from the last sixty years in a style similar to the original artists. Following The A List, “Personable DJ John Barry” will be in Balloons Sound & Light Booth doing his LIVE “Personality Show Off Show”. As always, John will provide a danceable selection of tunes and good Party-Time FUN till close. Next, Road To Recover will be doing a 9:00 PM Friday gig in The Gin Mill. . Katie and John, who are The Road To Recover, do a show that includes tunes from Miranda Lambert to Adele with some Aerosmith thrown in the mix for even more FUN. Saturday gets started at 2:00 PM in The Town Park Gazebo with The Midnight Riders doing their classic to southern rock music show. This is a six-piece local band that does really neat cover classic to southern rock in a very audience involved and FUN way. Then at 3:00 PM Saturday The Ellicottville Brewing Company will have The Caribbean Island Explosion Rhythm Band. As their name implies, this will be an
C.U. ‘Round The Music Scene out door Caribbean music experience that will have you wanting to book a cruise. Next The Untouchables will be doing a 3:30 PM gig in Holiday Valley’s Cabana Bar. This four-piece band from Bemus Point does a neat blend of R&B, oldies R&R, classic soul plus a wide range of other music styles in a very entertaining way. Moving to Balloons at 6:00 PM, an EVL favorite, The Ozone Rangers will be set up and ROCKIN the house with their wonderful version of southern to classic rock. Following The Ozone Rangers, DJ Chatty or Flakey Frank, The Party Monster, will keep the party going in his FUN way from Balloons Sound & Light Booth till close. Returning to 7:00 PM Saturday we will find The EZ3 doing their “Smooth Oldies & Cocktail Cozies” music show on the out side deck of The Silver Fox Steak House. Then at 8:00 PM Saturday we move back to Holiday Valley’s Out Door Music Stage. Here we will have The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra doing a light classical set that will be followed by set of dance music. All of this will be followed by a spectacular fireworks show that will be seen by most everyone in the Ellicottville area. Saturday’s music rounds out at 9:00 PM with two gigs. First The Gin Mill will be host to Zephyr, a three-piece, long standing rock band that will cause, as they always do, really good Rock N Roll music and dance times to happen. Also at 9:00 PM The Depot will have The Brass Monkeez, a four-piece teenage band playing original and cover tunes with a sixties/seventies rock to pop and blues sound that is great. The Beatles to Zeppelin have influenced their music in a unique way. This week we will have a five band Sunday. It all kicks off at noon on the front lawn of St John’s Episcopal Church with singer, songwriter Will Lowery doing an acoustic solo gig celebrating one hundred seventy five years of Ellicottville good times. Next at 3:00 PM Sunday Holiday Valley’s Cabana Bar will have The Bleeding Hearts, a three-piece classic rock band that plays a unique blend of classic rock from the 60’s & 70’s, retro hits from the 80’s, alternative hits from the 90’s to current hits of today. Then beginning at 7:00 PM Sunday Stinger, one of WNY’S new and most entertaining classic pop/rock bands we have seen around here in several years, will take Holiday Valley’s Out Door Music Stage as the opening act for The Guess Who. Then The Guess Who, the headline band of the weekend, from Winnipeg Manitoba, that has had several hit singles including “American Woman”, “Share The Land” and “These Eyes”, will do a show on The Out Door Music Stage that we believe will be wonderful. Returning to 8:00 PM Sunday, Two Guys Drinking Beer will have The Gin Mill Crowd really enjoying their music. This, as most of you know, is the acoustic version of the rock band West. Ron

Art in the Garden Cont. From Front Page a.m. – 4 p.m., visitors can view and purchase art from some of the area’s premier artists. Proceeds from the event will be donated to local charities. This event is free and open to the public. Allen is hosting Art in the Garden at her home with the help of fellow artist Todd Plough. This art event has been part of the House and Garden tour for years, which was a ticketed event, but Art in the Garden is now a public event. “I’ve been involved with the Ellicottville House and Garden tour for quite a few years,” said Allen. “For the last few years, I’ve been organizing this event.” A self-taught photographer, she has been making thoughtprovoking images since childhood. Artists will line the winding stone walkways and grassy areas of Allen’s immaculately landscaped backyard, the serene setting complementing fine artwork like paintings, photography, jewelry, sculptures, carvings, handcrafted furniture, stained glass, pottery and basket making. Allen said, “There will be a variety of good, local artists who are going to be showing and selling that day.” Visitors will enjoy works by Sherri Antle
(dichroic jewelry), Elliott Hutton (functional pottery), Pat Eckstrom (paper sculpture), Karen Fitzpatrick (stained
glass), Betty Meierjurgen (paintings and painted porcelain), Penny Minner (basket making), Joan Pingitore (paintings), Todd Plough (paintings), Mat Snyder (stained glass), Bill Steckman (antler carving), Dug Stein (wood sculpture), Mike Trainer (furniture), Mikel Wintermantel (paintings) and Darlene Allen (photography). As a Copley Master who is noted for his landscapes, Wintermantel hasn’t shown in Ellicottville in over a decade, but decided to participate this year to support a local cause after spending a few days with Allen and Plough painting in the Finger Lakes Plein Air Festival. He said, “I had known
Todd for some time now but never had the pleasure of knowing Darlene until then. After fascinating conversations, seeing Darlene’s design sense in her photos, in her culinary presentation and her eclectic wardrobe, I decided it would be a great venue to showcase some of my paintings along with others in her garden.” In discussing Plough, an impressionist oil painter and Copley Master, Wintermantel commented, “To me, Todd is a ‘painter’s painter.’ He is consumed by art. He looks totally at ease behind an easel.” Plough’s nature landscapes go beyond art and into the spiritual realm as he pushed his medium to new levels. Art browsers and wine sippers will be entertained by the piano melodies of Ted Seuss. In attempt to describe his musical style, he said, “I am always improvising. Though based on riffs and progressions I’ve been playing around with for years, I still never know what’s happening next, until just a quick moment before each note.” Build an artistic stop at Rockwell Ave. into your weekend of music and touring and experience Ellicottville’s rich, cultural side while helping local charities.

Clergy participating in the spiritual service of celebration were from three Ellicottville churches: Fr. Ron Mierzwa from Holy Name of Mary Roman Catholic Church, Rev. Deborah Packard from the United Church of Ellicottville and Pastor William L. Kay from St. Paul’s Lutheran Church. Messages from Mark Ward, superintendent of Ellicottville Central School; Robert Miller, high school principal; and James Wiley, president of the school board, focused on ways the past has prepared them for the future. All stressed living the Golden Rule: Treat others as you would like to be treated. Ward said, “Life is not going to go the way you want it to. There is no magic formula. It’s how you handle it.” Miller challenged the graduates to lead by
example, live the skills that seem to be slipping away from Americans: respect, dignity, and treating people as you want to be treated. Wiley advised the graduates to “work hard to the best of you ability. Be a person people want to be around.” Members of the class of 2012 sang two musical selections, “You Raise Me Up” and “Until We Meet Again.” After the service, the graduates and their families enjoyed a hot breakfast prepared with donations given by local churches and Tops Market. At 7 p.m., a packed gymnasium watched and listened as words of wisdom, awards and diplomas were handed out to the class of 2012. Video screens in the gym and the cafeteria made it possible for everyone to see the ceremonies. Ward commended the class of 2012 as being the first class where all students entering by the ninth grade have graduated. On an interesting note, he said that 23 students have one parent and nine have both parents who went to Ellicottville Central School. “We’ve enjoyed your children,” said Ward to the parents. Thirteen National Honor Society Scholarships
were given out, as well as 67 awards and scholarships, along with many more received outside of school. Not only academic, athletic and musical achievements, but also outstanding leadership, commitment, c o m m u n i t y service and integrity were emphasized. Shannon Scott was the recipient of the New York State Military Service Recognition Scholarship given to a student with a parent who has died while on active duty in the military. It covers full tuition at a SUNY school, room and board, and incidentals for four years. Courtney Wilson received the Unified Student Assistance (USA) Recognition Scholarship from Jamestown Community College for a two-year, full-time tuition scholarship. Gifts given by the class of 2012 were an $800 donation to the Ronald McDonald House, from which two families benefited this past year, and $1,000 was given to the school for the purchase of a “real” camera. “Live the dreams and don’t let anyone get in the way of it,” said Salutatorian Ashley Golley, using Walt Disney as an example of one who chose to follow his dream. “Some don’t think they can shoot for the stars, but if we take the risk we all have the potential, so strive for your dreams.” Golley plans to attend SUNY Brockport with her major still undecided. She is the daughter of Debbie See Senior Diplomas page 5

com, which hosts Raccoon Rally among numerous other outdoor athletic events throughout the year in Western New York, is keeping his fingers crossed for a favorable forecast for this year’s rally. “We hope for terrifically comfortable weather, rain-free conditions and we always look forward to entertaining cyclists from throughout the country because it’s a beautiful destination,” he said. The Road Race, according to Lawrence, takes place along a scenic 25-mile triangular path, while the Cross-Country Race occurs along wide rolling trails of varying lengths depending on the registered level of the rider. Levels include beginner, sport, expert and pro among others.
-3,000 Mile Service includes: -Replace Engive Oil & Filter -Adjust Tire Pressure -Rotate Tires as necessary -Clean/Adjust Brakes
Courses and distances for the Kids’ Race depend on the weather conditions.

Cash prizes and medals will be awarded to top finishers. Awards will depend on the race and the category the cyclist rides under. Besides the events, other aspects of the rally will include raffles, a bike toss, food sales, bicycle demos and vendors.

Ellicottville Times Past Remembering The 4th of July By Mary Fox
In 1842 the citizens of Cattaraugus County and adjoining counties celebrated the fourth of July at Ellicottville (then the Cattaraugus County seat) on Friday the 2nd of July. A national salute was given at sunrise, followed by a procession to “the grove” where the day was dedicated to Patriotic and Religious observances. National songs were performed by the band; prayers were given by the chaplain. A reading of the Declaration of Independence was given. A national hymn was sung by the children followed by a benediction. After this a dinner was served for the guests. In the evening a display of fireworks and a balloon was sent up illuminated. In 1876 the citizens of Ellicottville celebrated the centennial of the birth of the United States with the same patriotic zeal. The American flag and red, white and blue buntings hung from every house and business. Amidst the flags and bunting the birth of our country was celebrated with patriotic speeches, a public recitation of the Declaration of Independence, and patriotic pageants and parades that honored our forefathers. The picnic with family and friends was the culmination of a meaningful day. The fireworks at the end of the day reminded us of the battles our country has fought to keep the Declaration of Independence alive. Following the speech making, a great patriotic parade was staged. Civil War heroes led

troops of veterans, some with empty coat sleeves, some walking with a cane or crutch and some riding in carriages but all showing pride in their country. The Ellicottville Band marched lively playing our nations anthem. Wagons were profusely decorated with evergreen boughs, bunting and American flags. The first wagon, carrying beautiful girls in white bore the words, “Liberty and Union Now and Forever, One and Inseparable”. Four young girls rode next to a Liberty Bell, formed from, hemlock twigs over a wooden frame declaring “Life, Liberty and Happiness”. A wagon representing the Constitution, with a young lady bearing a banner of “Liberty”, another, the shield of “Equality”. Next came a wagon with three young ladies emblazoned with “Free Speech”, “Free Press” and “Free Assemblage”. Another, “Free Schools”, “Free Religion” and “a Free People”. A wagon carried the Little Red School House bearing the inscription, ”Free schools, the defense of the Nation” was followed by a long procession of school children with their teachers all carrying American Flags. The second section of the

parade was devoted to early settlement. There was a settlers’ ox-team and covered wagon bearing his family, household goods, provisions, a few hens, tools, and seeds for the next spring’s planting and leading a cow or two. The old Plank Road Stage coach carried five daughters of the first settlers. Aunt Sally Johnston and Mrs. Chauncey J. Fox, daughters of Grove Hurlburt; Mrs. Hannah L. Skinner, daughter of Henry Saxton , Mrs. Henrietta Saxton, daughter of Jabez Blackmon and Mrs. Martha Harlin, daughter of David Gregory. There was a tableau depicting the clearing of the land and the browsing of cattle, the making of black salts and soft soap, with the leeching barrels of wood ashes and a great cauldron kettle in which to boil the lye. Barter among the settlers and trading with the Indians were also shown and a real Indian wigwam with a family of Seneca Indians, including a war chief with his tomahawk, scalping knife, bow and arrows, and a little papoose strapped to a board on its mother’s back. There was the old hand pumper Fire Engine followed by its company of fire fighters. Last came the mugwumps with their grotesque costumes and comical contraptions. Thanks to “The Republican” newspaper article from 1842 and John H. Northrup’s 1936 speech about the 1876 celebration of the 4th of July, for leaving us this glimpse into Ellicottville’s past.

Andree McRae Associate Broker
By Kimberly Duke, Core Performance Fitness
Over the past two decades, I have been fortunate to have helped people from all fitness levels to become fitter and healthier through diet and exercise. The programs I created not only helped them look better, but also served as lifelong formulas to maximize performance and help maintain a higher quality of life. As I stated in last week’s article, we tend to “lose” muscles as we age if we do not use them. I also used two words almost synonymously – strength training and resistance training. Most people understand why they need cardio – it burns fat and calories. What they don’t get is why they need to lift weights, too. Well, simply stated: You can’t move weight unless you lift weight. Resistance training/
strength training/ weight lifting increases muscular strength and endurance, boosts energy, improves balance and flexibility, and maintains or even builds bone density. It also powers up your metabolism, transforming your muscles into power fat burners. Weight training can burn from 250-400 calories in a 45-minute session plus keep your metabolism revving for at least an hour after training has stopped. Lifting weights will also firm and reshape your body, allowing you to fit into smaller
sizes as it optimizes your body composition. So, if you really want to transform your body, you have to add weight training. Instead of allowing inactivity and gravity to take over, lose the body fat and gain muscle and tone from head to toe. The more muscle you build the smaller you will look, especially if you are a woman. That’s because fat takes up much more space, actually five times more space. In fact, when you train with weights, you actually use stored body fat to fuel the growth of your muscles. However,
you can help this process by fueling your body with proper nutrients and getting adequate rest. If you’re a beginner to strength training, consulting with a certified fitness trainer would be the best place to safely develop a program that is right for you. If you are a novice and just need direction and a community of encouragement, join a fitness class that utilizes weight training to achieve their goals. Group fitness classes can be a super way to get your groove on and become familiar and comfortable with strength training. A good instructor will always keep their eyes open to form flaws and offer cues to assist you during class. Plus, there are always other participants in the class who have been where you are and are ready and willing to encourage and assist you in achieving your goals.

Natureʼs Remedy Introduces Naturopathic Doctor
Kristina C. Barlow, N.D., C.S.T., is a native Western New Yorker who moved to Ellicottville at the age of 5. At 18 years old, she ventured to Quinnipiac University in Connecticut, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Biology and a minor in Psychology. After years of varied experience in the Tri-State area, she returned to Connecticut to study Naturopathic Medicine. In 2009, she received her doctorate in naturopathic medicine at the University of Bridgeport College of Naturopathic Medicine. She is a board certified, Connecticut licensed
naturopathic doctor and has continued her education with further study of homeopathy and craniosacral therapy. Naturopathy is a combination of nature cure, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, spinal manipulation, massage, craniosacral therapy, Bach flower essences and many other natural therapies. Nature cure was a system created in 19th century Europe for treating diseases with natural agents such as water, air, diet, herbs and sunshine. Homeopathy has the power to bring healing to physical, mental and emotional symptoms caused by
a disturbance or imbalance in one’s vital force. Hydrotherapy is the use of water in many forms and applications, with cold water being the major force

health. It makes sense that all of us need to be treated with anything that promotes healing,” said Barlow. “As we continually treat our bodies with beneficial modalities we always see positive changes. Conversely, continue to treat your body abusively and you will see changes … just not positive ones. My goal is to find out how to eliminate the ‘trash’ from the body, to stop the ‘trash’ from coming into the body, to replenish what is depleted and to stimulate the Qi or the energy. This provides freedom for the body’s innate ability to heal itself. “Since graduating in 2009, I have come to specialize in mental and emotional health along with neurological and
musculoskeletal dysfunctions. Although I treat each person with an individualized approach, I have seen great success in treating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, thought disorders, insomnia, eating disorders and addictions with utilizing homeopathy, craniosacral therapy, hydrotherapy, detoxification, botanical medicine, diet and neurotransmitter/hormone/ immune system testing and treatment.” For more information about Kristina, please call (716) 3530786, email kcbarlow34@ gmail.com or visit Nature’s Remedy at 26 Monroe St. in Ellicottville, (716) 699-4372, www.holistic-wellness-center. com.

With six farming districts that contain more than 236,000 acres of land, Cattaraugus County is strongly characterized by its agricultural industry. That is why agriculture is important enough to be one of six areas highlighted for future growth and development under a blueprint for the county’s new comprehensive plan. Agriculture was the featured topic of a public forum held June 21 at the Mansfield Town Hall, the second forum in a series of six to take place monthly throughout October to gather public input for the planning process that will develop the new comprehensive plan. According to ww2. cattco.org, the county’s original comprehensive plan was adopted in 1978 and was intended to guide the development of the county through the year 2000. However, “a new comprehensive planning update is needed to address the challenges of the 21st century and build upon more recent planning initiatives.” The plan’s purpose, the website further states, is “to provide a blueprint for the future growth and development of the county in the areas of land use, economic development, agriculture, the environment, transportation, infrastructure and arts and culture.” The 20 Cattaraugus County citizens who attended the June 21 forum were divided into four groups to discuss and write
down what they perceive as strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats as they pertain to agriculture and farmland in the county. Jim Ellis, of East Otto, said that he would like agriculture to remain as the No. 1 industry in Cattaraugus County. He stressed the importance of having an infrastructure that enables farmers to sell their products and said the government should “lay off and get their hands out of farmers’ business. “They can’t keep saying you’re going to do this and you can’t do this. That, to me, is definitely wrong,” he said. Lynn Telaak, an animal science teacher at BOCES’ Olean center and a Mansfield resident, said that she hopes the new comprehensive plan keeps agriculture a viable industry in the county. She said she would like to see the Cattaraugus County Farm Bureau’s ag-discovery tent, which is housed at the Cattaraugus County Fair

and helps to educate people on all phases of agriculture, integrated into a mobile program. “We just started last year and we’ve had a really good response to it,” Telaak said of the ag-discovery tent. As with Ellis, Telaak noted agriculture’s ranking as the No. 1 industry in the county and said that she hopes the “powers that be” in Cattaraugus County will recognize it as such. “It does not get recognized as that,” she said. “Even in education, we were counting up tonight, there are three high schools that offer agriculture, and BOCES has two centers and there are about three classes between those two centers that are agriculturally oriented. In my BOCES district, there are five school districts and I am their only opportunity at agriculture,” said Telaak, whose district includes Olean, Allegany, Hinsdale and Portville schools and Archbishop-Walsh Academy. “None of them have an
so if their students want agriculture, the only thing they can get at our center now is animal science,” she said. James Isaacson and Paul Bishop, both senior planners for Cattaraugus County, each identified agriculture as being of great significance to the county. “I want to see it continue to exist at least at the level that it does and hopefully grow in the future,” said Bishop. Isaacson said, “Agriculture is one of our top industries and it’s very important to us. We want to get some input from our citizens as to what the county can do to improve agriculture and make it more viable.” Though the topics of economic development and agriculture have already been dealt with in two previous forums, the public can still weigh in on four more topics in order to potentially help shape the county’s new comprehensive plan in those areas. Each public forum will center on one topic and light refreshments will be served. The remaining public forum topics and dates are as follows: July 12 - Environmental and Natural Resources Aug. 9 - Transportation and Infrastructure Sept. 20 - Arts and Culture Oct. 18 - Land Use All public forums have scheduled start times of 6 p.m. The locations for the next four forums have not yet been determined.
Legal Notices NOTICE OF RESOLUTION NUMBER 12-07 AUTHORIZING THE TOWN AS SHORT TERM LESSEE OF TEMPORARY HIGHWAY GARAGE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that, at a special meeting held on June 20, 2012 at 6:00 p.m., the Town Board of Ellicottville, New York (the “Town”) duly adopted three resolutions, which are individually subject to a permissive referendum pursuant to Town Law Article 7; an abstract of each follows. Town Board members present: John A. Burrell, Supervisor, Kenneth D. Hinman, Deputy Supervisor, Steve J. Crowley, Councilman, Gregory J. Fitzpatrick, Councilman. Town Board members not present: John D. Northrup, Councilman Supervisor Burrell offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NUMBER 12-07 OF THE TOWN OF ELLICOTTVILLE, NEW YORK, Adopted On June 20, 2012, Authorizing The Town As Short Term Lessee Of Real Property And Improvements, Identified As S.B.L. 46.004-1-48, To Be Used As A Temporary Highway Garage. Dated: June 20, 2012 Robyn George, Town Clerk, Town of Ellicottville
A reminder to the residents of the Village of Ellicottville: In accordance with Local Law # 3 of 1982, amended by Local Law # 4 of 2011, in regard to brush and leaf collection. Brush and leaves will be collected at curbside from April 1st to November 30th on the 1st Monday of each month. Brush is defined by law as branches and trunk material from trees and shrubs grown on the premises, but the branches and trunk material must NOT be longer than four feet, nor wider in diameter than six inches. The Village WILL NOT collect cut grass, and cut grass shall NOT be placed at curbside for collection. Brush and leaves to be collected shall be placed at curbside by 7:00 a.m. on the day designated, but not more than 48 hours prior to such time. Brush and leaves from the premises are the ONLY vegetation which shall be so placed for collection. There has been a recent problem with residents placing such materials at curbside for collection on other than the designated times. The Village D.P.W. cannot pick up these materials on a constant basis. Such piles of brush and leaves at curbside for several weeks detracts from the appearance of the Village. Warning letters are being sent to those residents who have already done this, and it is asked that ALL residents follow the Law in the future. Thank you for your cooperation. Howard T. Gifford, Constable, Village of Ellicottville

St. John’s Celebrates 175th Anniversary
by Rebecca LaBorde
St. John’s Episcopal Church located on the corner of Washington and Jefferson streets in the Village of Ellicottville is the oldest church in Cattaraugus County. It was built in 1837 and this year marks their 175th anniversary. To commemorate this occasion, St. John’s will be providing music on the lawn at the Historical Society’s Strawberry Festival. Ellicottville native, Will Lowry, a guitarist, singer and songwriter, will be providing the music on the courthouse lawn at noon on July 1. Lowry began writing music to reflect his faith in Jesus and in 1979 recorded his first album of original music entitled “Mystery.” Richard Chase, St. Johns’ senior warden and member of the vestry, said, “There is so much history surrounding St. John’s Church.” The original deed states the last was owned by the Holland Land Company. Joseph Ellicott was a surveyor for the Holland Land Company, which donated the land for the church in 1834 and also donated the other three corners in downtown Ellicottville to the city. The church board borrowed $600 from the Trinity Church in New York City to build the church. They still have the oldfashioned pews with
doors on them that served to keep them warm. The church didn’t have central heat, so people would bring in heating pots and the doors served to keep the heat inside their enclosure. The windows in the church are made of poured glass from 1837. St. John’s still has the original pedal organ that they purchased in 1844. In 1856, they got a pump organ and they used to pay someone 10 cents a service to pump the organ. It is

now run on electricity. The bell in the steeple is made out of silver is perfectly balanced. It is the oldest bell in the U.S. that is still in use. This special bell traveled all the way from Malaga, Spain, where it hung in a mission for 120 years. It was then shipped to America for $125. After arriving, it was transported up the Hudson, through the Erie Canal and was brought to Ellicottville by oxcart. The bell also served
multiple purposes. It alerted the community that church was beginning, and it was also used in the 1840s as the town’s fire alarm and timer, which rang the time three times a day. Chase has a lot of information about the history of the church and the community he grew up in. “Ellicottville started out in agriculture, lumber and manufacturing. Fitzpatrick & Weller were the world’s largest manufacturer of wood shoe last blocks. Then it shifted into skiing and now it’s more of a tourism industry,” he stated. Chase explained that St. John’s Church holds their church service on Saturday evening to accommodate the skiers who want to get up early Sunday morning and hit the slopes before they go home. Another way they serve the community is with a living manger scene every Christmas season. “We bring in camels, goats and donkeys. Kids that attend come to the church and ring the bell. It is a yearly tradition for some kids,” Chase said. If you are interested in touring the church and getting more information on its history, call (716) 699-4694. Tours will be available in the afternoon the day of the Historic Society’s Strawberry Festival on July 1.

master plan development on an approximate 5-acre site within the Town of Ellicottville limits. McNalley, a HoliMont homeowner, wishes to change the name to Glen Burn Trail and to begin construction on show models with buildings 13, 14 and 15 to be ready by this fall. The model homes will offer versatile options for building size and layout, garage and bedroom layouts, upstairs or downstairs kitchens, decks, landscaping – all of which affect the exterior architectural design – therefore needing a “variable/conditional” approval from the planning board. Building colors and materials have not been chosen yet and architectural plans were not submitted as such. Signage is still in development. Chairperson Signore commented that “this isn’t anything we’ve done before,” when talking about a giving approval for a project that hasn’t submitted the normal required documents, but is relying on the previously approved master plan. Board members, including Carol Horowitz and Mark Alianello, Calarco and McNally discussed the details for almost an hour and a half before settling on “conditional approval.” The developer will begin construction for
Units 13, 14, and 15, with four stipulations that must be met, which include: 1) revised architectural drawings complete with color, trim and window details including more aesthetically pleasing window placements on end units, 2) 15-foot setbacks from parent parcel boundaries, 3) 72-foot separation between the fronts of buildings, and 4) approval only applies to Units 13, 14 and 15, and any future building must be presented for approval. According to Calarco, “Taking over someone else’s development project is a challenge, and we are simply trying to work within the previously established parameters. Certain amendments will have to be made and those revisions will ultimately help the sales of the project. We had to request an amended site plan and determine whether the changes were de minimis or substantial, among other details. ” The next agenda item was a presentation by Chris Woods for the Tim Hortons project at the current town barns/garage site. Architectural drawings were submitted, which detailed the two-story building. Tim Hortons will occupy approximately 2,000 square feet of a total 3,700 square feet
on the first floor. No additional tenants have been named yet. Plans are for six apartments on the second story. Details of the drive-thru lane were discussed, and according to the developer, Ray Moranda, 60-70 percent of Tim Hortons’ business is drive-thru business. A required variance for the front parking setback was discussed. If all the proper requirements are met and approvals are given, Tim Hortons hopes to be open by mid-October. The Department of Transportation, Zoning Board of Appeals and Cattaraugus County Planning Board approvals must be acquired. A public hearing will be scheduled for July 23, 2012, at 6 p.m. and will take place during the regular planning board meeting.
“According to Ray Moranda, 60-70% of Tim Hortons’ business is drive-thru business.”
The last item for the board to approve was to schedule a public hearing for Coldspring Construction, which is applying for a renewal of their special use permit for the gravel mine on Canada Hill Road. This hearing will take place at 6:10 p.m. during the July 23 regular planning board meeting.

One look at Keith McKale’s artwork and it quickly becomes obvious he is a precision worker by trade. While he may hold an engineering degree, McKale is not afraid to follow his artistic talents into the realm of
woodcarving. McKale has been showing and selling his intricately carved wood artwork at local galleries, festivals and art shows since 2011. Currently, you can see his work displayed in the lobby of the Ellicottville Memorial Library at 6499 Maples Rd. in Ellicottville. The show will hang until July 29. Stop at the library to see McKale’s Celtic love spoons, hand carved from butternut, chipped carved Celtic crosses made of butternut and basswood, as well as scroll-sawed pieces like a bald eagle, buffalo, tree and a special piece he calls “Racing the Storm.” He said, “The ‘Racing the Storm’ piece is a sailboat under full sail, and I used a piece of black walnut with a decorative knot in the upper corner that looks like a pending storm moving in. You kind of have to see it!” A self-taught artist, McKale said he has been working with wood all his life. His father was an amateur ornithologist, so McKale grew up watching and studying birds and began carving what he saw in nature. His father was

also a talented furniture maker, woodworker and bird carver, adding to McKale’s genetic talents. He describes himself as a nature lover and outdoorsman, and enjoys hiking and backpacking with his son. To create many of his carvings, he uses hardwoods and softwoods from his own trees on his property near Ellicottville, which also houses his Fern Wood Art studio. Recently, McKale participated in an intensive bird-carving workshop and has begun exhibiting bird sculptures including a Red-breasted Nuthatch. He said, “I am going to be adding hand-carved and painted birds and feathers to my portfolio of work. I have several songbirds under way, as well as several feathers in the wood burning stages that I will be displaying soon.” “I have made my home near Ellicottville, and believe there is nothing more relaxing and fulfilling than an evening carving on my front porch!” he said. The Ellicottville Memorial Library is located at 6499 Maples Road in Ellicottville, NY.
Hours are 10 a.m.–5 p.m. daily except Sunday. Evening hours are 5–8 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday.

Tasting Ellicottville: Riley’s Bar and Restaurant BY BARBARA KOZLOWSKI
“Livin the life of Riley” – a phrase kiddingly used by Chef Patrick Wooldridge and his brother-in-law. That’s how Riley’s got its name. The restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere and wonderful dishes by Chef Patrick and his staff. Riley’s is located on Route 219 just north of Ellicottville and once housed restaurants like The Blue Denim, Gypsy’s and Stone Creek. Food and hospitality is their business, and Patrick and his wife Terry dole it out in generous portions. Patrick has been in the restaurant business for 30 years. He was born in Western New York and obtained his chef’s degree in Chicago at Washburne Trade School. He ran establishments such as The Bethlehem Steel Management Club in Burns Harbor, Ind., and Alexander’s Steak & Seafood House outside Chicago where he won the People’s Choice Award for Best Cuisine for four consecutive years. Patrick and Terry moved back to Western New York to be close to family. He then helped open and establish The Legacy Restaurant in Springville in 2000 and won an award for Best Appetizer at The Taste of the Southtowns for his delicious seafood bisque chowder. Patrick worked at The Legacy until 2005 when
Riley’s Bar and Restaurant is located on Rte 219 just north of Ellicottville. he came to a local restaurant for a couple of years. Yearning to open his own restaurant and to do what he does best – create awesome food –with the help of family and friends, Riley’s became a reality. Riley’s menu offers fresh homemade soups like seafood bisque chowder and French wild leek au gratin in cup, bowl or quart-to-go sizes. Appetizers range from chicken wings, Saganaki, clams casino, shrimp cocktail, four-cheese artichoke dip, Maryland crab cakes and fresh fried chips. Salads are served with a complimentary cup of soup du jour and include the house garden salad, walnut crusted goat cheese and spinach (my favorite), chicken souvlaki salad and teriyaki steak salad. Pasta dishes include lobster and saffron ravioli with Alfredo sauce, chicken bruschetta and angel

hair pasta, shrimp scampistuffed ravioli with a white cheddar cheese sauce and homemade vegetable lasagna. Entrees include a NY strip steak with Burgundy mushrooms, roasted half duckling with raspberry sauce, chicken Oscar, chicken Marsala, award-winning hickory-buttered baby back ribs, apple-stuffed Canadian pork tenderloin Madeira, baked orange roughy with garlic and lemon butter, haddock fish fry or baked Italiano, baked scallops, macadamia crabstuffed shrimp Monterey and Riley’s filet. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday only, you can feast on prime rib or garlic-roasted Chicago prime rib. All of these entrees include a cup of soup and house salad with homemade dressings. The house dressing is a cranberry vinaigrette with
bleu cheese crumbles. The desserts are all mouthwatering and homemade by Terry. Try a turtle cheesecake or peanut butter pie, to name just a couple. If you prefer a lighter fare, try one of their sandwiches: beef on weck, Riley›s burger with a choice of additional toppings, an Eiffel Tower croissant or a Reuben. Also available are chicken fingers and fries, and a lobster and mushroom melt. There are also daily specials like liver, onions and bacon, tacos, chicken and biscuits, and turkey or bison burgers, to name a few. You never go away hungry from a meal at Riley’s. A pool table is adjacent to the bar, and there is an entrance to the bar area and another to the dining rooms. They offer a full-service bar with a great variety of alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages. Choose from domestic, premium and draft beers and ales, and nice selections of wine by the bottle or the glass. Gift certificates are available and they welcome private parties, rehearsal dinners, bridal or baby showers with a special banquet menu. All menu items are available for take-out if you prefer. Stop by, say Hello to Patrick & Terry and feel like you too are “living the life of Riley.” You can call the restaurant at (716) 699-2359.

Plus there’s that nice pop of suspense toward the end of the evening when we draw the winners’ names.” The real draw though is the artwork itself. Repeat donors Mikel Wintermantel, C.M., and Nance Jackson, as
well as new supporting artists including Thomas Paquette, Barbara Fox, Anne Mormile, and Debra Eck have donated some of the best work. The collection has a total net worth over $9,000. Images of the artwork as well as background information on the artists are currently on display at www.myartscouncil. net. This is an extremely important event for CCAC as one of its major fundraising efforts of the year. Proceeds will be used to help fund a year of workshops, kids’ classes, Routes to Art, contemporary exhibitions, community improvements, and advocacy for quality of life in the Southern Tier. Conroy-Baiter said,
“We host two major fundraisers a year to help close the gap between earned income and our operating costs. The first is the raffle, and we will also present the 5x7: Art for Everyone event on November 17. Artists from all over the world will donate 5-inch by 7-inch pieces of artwork, which will be all be available for $25 to make the artwork accessible to anyone. Last year the art was 6 inches square, but we decided to change it to an easier-toframe size. The event was a wild success last year, and we hope to top it in 2012.” You can view the artwork to be raffled and purchase tickets online at wwww.myartscouncil.net or call (716) 372-7455.
