Ride the Enchanted Mountains HOG Rally Hits Holiday Valley By Eva Potter

For the first time in many years, the HOG Rally returns to Western New York this weekend. Over 1,200 motorcycles — Harley-Davidson, to be precise — are expected to roll into Ellicottville for the July 11–13 event taking place at Holiday Valley. Harley Owners Group (HOG) represents an diverse group of Harley-Davidson owners, who all have one thing in common — their love of taking to the open road on their bikes. The weekend will offer plenty of that along with a welcome dinner and opening ceremony, motorcycle vendors, the Bubba Blackwell Stunt Show, live music, dancing, golf, a motorcycle light show, as well as a winery and brewery tour. There will be several scenic rides throughout Cattaraugus County to some special local destinations, highlighted by the first all-female ride, “Leave the Men Behind,” led by the ride coordinator Bev Sherman. Once you’ve ridden the scenic byways of Cattaraugus County, it won’t take long for you to start planning your next visit back to Ellicottville. “There are a lot of really unique opportunities to ride in this area if you’ve never been. Ellicottville has established itself as a destination that people want to be at. They have something for everybody and are very welcoming to the biker community,” said Tim McKeever, marketing manager at Gowanda Harley-Davidson, the host dealership of this year’s HOG Rally. To make your planning easy, the county’s tourism department has assembled some of the best ride routes in the area. For a free ride map, call 1-800-331-0543 or go to See HOG Rally page 6

Village Board Hears Concerns About New Water and Sewer Bills By Jann Wiswall B

With their latest quarterly water/sewer bills in i hand, more than a dozen Ellicottville small business b owners expressed concern that the “unexpected” “ increase in those bills will be a hardship h on their bottom lines. Owners of non-restaurant shops throughout the t Village were united in their complaints at the Village V Board meeting on Monday, July 8. They felt f that the new rate, which averages $150 more per p quarter than the new residential rate, “could break b us,” given many shops’ “small profit margins.” m Generally, people felt that their shops use u far less water/sewer service than residential and a other commercial customers use. Mayor Charles Coolidge attempted to explain e that the new system put in place was in See Village Board page 8

Village Planning Board Stands Firm on Conditions

By Jann Wiswall

At the July 9 meeting of the Village Planning Board, the board voted against approval of an amendment to the approved site plan for a drivethrough banking window for the Cattaraugus County School Employees Federal Credit Union at the Ellicottville Square business complex at 3 Bristol Lane.

While the board had no objections to the plan itself, it did not approve the amendment because conditions previously set for the property owner had not been met. Specifically, those conditions required Sprague Development to remove a signpost on Elizabeth Street and to regularly mow the grass between the property and the back of some Elizabeth

Street homes by no later than June 25. Kody Sprague, the property developer, acknowledged that the signpost had not been removed even though he had assigned the task to an employee. He also was unaware that certain areas of the property had not been mowed as instructed. See Planning Board page 8

Great Valley Board Meeting Workers Comp Insurance & Assessor Discussed By Mary Fox

The Great Valley Town Board met on Monday, July 8 at 7 p.m. in the Great Valley Town Hall. A discussion regarding Workers Compensation Insurance led to setting a date for a special meeting of the town board on Monday, July 29. “We will meet just to deal

with this issue because it is so important. We are looking at getting away from the County Plan because it could mean a $14,000 increase,” said Town Supervisor Dan Brown. Jeff Forester has requested to be reappointed as town assessor. Bobbi Elderkin has also applied for the position. The position will be advertised

with resumes due by 7 p.m., Monday, Aug. 4 for review by the board. Interviews will be held at the September 12 board meeting. No Planning Board business is currently being considered. Due to the resignation of the planning board chairperson, six members now comprise See GV Board page 7

716-938-9296 Core Performance & Fitness Introduces Kim Watt

Kim Watt has been in the health industry for over two decades and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to her classes at Core Performance Fitness & Training at 33 Bristol Lane in the Ellicottville Square building. Watt’s credentials are impressive. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Rochester Institute of Technology in Biotechnology, and is a NETA certified personal trainer, licensed Zumba® and Zumba Toning® instructor, registered nurse and EMT for the Ellicottville/Great Valley Ambulance. She is the school nurse at Ellicottville Central School and also co-owns The Barn restaurant in Ellicottville. “Being in the science, health and fitness field for over 20 years combined — I have come to realize that preventative health is what we need to focus on,” she

said. According to Watt, through focusing on our health and fitness, we find we can alleviate or help to control many of the health issues out there today. Obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure — all are diseases we can help to change for ourselves if we focus on a healthy diet and exercise. “I’ve seen many people, just in my own Zumba® classes, who state how they have been able to decrease or go off their high blood pressure meds, can control their diabetes with diet and exercise, have significantly improved their balance after a stroke, feel so much happier, and lastly — their rheumatoid arthritis is much less painful and they have a greater range of motion — all from finding the time to move and adding exercise to their lives,” said Watt. One of the biggest reasons she is in the fitness field is that she wants to be a positive role model for her three children, along with all of her students and their parents as a school nurse. If she can do it with her busy schedule — so can you! “With the help and support and years of knowledge of Kim Duke of Core Performance

and Fitness, I am happy to announce that I am now certified to help you with your health and fitness goals as a NETA Certified Personal Trainer,” said Watt. “I will have Saturday openings available starting Aug. 3. I also will be instructing a new ‘Saturday Morning Burn’ group fitness class from 8–8:45 a.m. starting Aug. 3 for $10 per class.” The class will be modeled after Duke’s style of conditioning and training using weights and compound movements to achieve your full potential and get the most bang for your buck. Watt is also restarting her Zumba® classes on Aug. 6. This class will be on Tuesday nights from 6–7 p.m. for only $5 a class. What are you waiting for? Join these classes today and start on that wonderful journey of great health and fitness. “Stop by the studio to see a listing of all the great classes and trainings we have available for you to help you to reach your health and fitness goals,” encouraged Watt. “Don’t waste another day thinking about starting your fitness journey, or going that next step in your fitness journey you’re already on — do it today!

Did You Know? Throughout the summer, there are Artists in Residence at ASP who perform live music in various park locations throughout the week. For details, visit facebook.com/alleganystatepark or pick up a schedule in the park at the Red House or Quaker rental oﬃces.

Allegany State Park (ASP) is the largest New York State park, with 65,000 acres to explore. For visitors who come to hike, 18 trails offer a variety of terrain that covers over 80 miles of hiking. So many people, including my family, consider ASP a favorite summer hangout. My husband and I have been taking our girls camping there since they could crawl, and since he and I both love hiking, we’ve made it our mission to seek out the trails that are easy enough for our daughters to handle so that we can all enjoy it together. There are several easier trails in the park that are good for children, many on the Quaker side of the park. Black Snake Mountain, located near Science Lake, is a three-mile loop, starting and ending in the same spot. This trail is generally easy to navigate, even while carrying a child on your back. The most unique feature about Black Snake Mountain is that it briefly meanders into Pennsylvania. At its southern point, you can stand with one foot each in two different states. This has made for many photo ops over the years. “Black Snake is my favorite trail because I like looking for that border between the two states,” said my husband. “It’s not marked very well, so it’s

CONNECTIONS: 700 BIRDS AT WATERFOWL SANCTUARY IN DELEVAN BY JEFF MARTIN

I’m not a quack for liking ducks. Four years ago, I would have thought otherwise. Moving to the Midwest, specif ically the Kansas City area, I regarded ducks and all other creatures that f lew as just common sights within the conf ines of a day. They were nothing special. They f litted from branch to eave and left no lasting impression on me. And then one day, by g race of location, I woke up and heard extraordinary songs that I would later learn to be that of the meadowlark, the warbler, the chickadee. As it turned out, the Kansas City area is located in one of the largest mig ratory paths of North American birds — literally hundreds of species passing overhead. Even the Monarch butterf ly in late autumn bounces its way through the area as it travels on its long way to Mexico. I eventually found the Kansas City Audubon Society and, working for a daily newspaper, wrote a story about the organization. I spent a few afternoons in the upstairs viewing room with binoculars faithfully pressed against my eye sockets, searching for the rare bird that may, with any luck, alight on a bending branch. When I moved here to Western New York, my antenna was up and ready for an aviary experience. I was awestruck by the massive black birds that raided backyards. As big as jetliners, these birds never fail to rouse me from morning sleep. So when I discovered Gooseneck Hill Waterfowl Sanctuary, located in Delevan, I was thrilled. Featuring 600 birds within two of the largest covered aviaries in the world, Gooseneck Hill is a paradise for geese, ducks and swans. I should confess, though — I haven’t been but I’m certainly planning on it soon. Rosemary Miner, who owns the sanctuary with her husband, Milton, said their sanctuary is one of few in the world that offer the space, the habitat and the freedom waterfowl need to thrive. Back in 1983, she and her husband became interested in waterfowl after a specif ic type of bird wandered onto their property. In 1990, they opened a sanctuary in Holland, but they soon outg rew the property and moved to Delevan in 1998, opening the current operation in 1999. It seems when you travel to Alaska, collect several species of eggs, bring them back and hatch them, you outg row most property pretty quickly. Seven acres are currently utilized in Delevan, but the Miners have 54 acres. Species of waterfowl include the endangered red-breasted goose from Siberia and the Ne Ne from Hawaii. I’m interested in the Whistler Swan, the second largest swan in the world whose f light speed can reach up to 100 mph. Such speed produces a whistling sound, thus its name. In all, there are 60 varieties of birds at the sanctuary, including sing ing and dancing swans, 25 rock gardens, and 2,000 koi f ish. The ponds on the property are fully stocked with f ish, g iving the birds a natural habitat. What’s special about Gooseneck is that all 700 birds are hand raised and people friendly. “People go to zoos and look at birds and wildlife from behind a fence or glass, but here you can go right up to them and feed them,” she said. “People are amazed.” Birds are g iven a sense of freedom not found in any other sanctuary, Miner said. Birds like the Pacif ic Eider thrive in the sanctuary because of the abundance of f ish, algae and g rasses. “There’s so much work involved in running the sanctuary,” she said. “No one in their right mind would do something like this.” I’m sold. I’ve always loved the people who aren’t in their right mind. Call (716) 942-6835 for an appointment and rates or visit http:// gooseneckhillwaterfowlfarm.com for more information.

something fun to look for as we walk along.” Eastwood Meadow, located off ASP 1, is a relatively flat loop that leads through the woods and off the beaten path. We just discovered this trail last summer and love how secluded it is. Another fun loop trail we discovered last year is the Three Sisters Trail that begins and ends behind the Quaker rental office. This trail was easy enough for my 4-year-old nephew to complete, and the kids were intrigued by the abandoned cabins at the end. The Bear Springs Trail is an easy walk and leads to old stone structures in the middle of the woods. This is my 10-year-old daughter’s favorite trail. “I like all the stone buildings on this trail and picturing what they were used for,” she told me. The Bear Caves, also on Quaker, is a family favorite. If you enter at the trailhead by the Deihl trail, you have a long uphill trek before you get to the caves. But if you’re up to it, approaching the caves from this side is amazing, as the forest suddenly opens up, revealing giant rock formations. If you start at the other end of the trail, the caves are much closer, although it still requires a climb. Be sure to bring a flashlight so that you can see inside the caves that are tucked into various rocks. This trail does not start and end in the same spot, so you

might want to leave a vehicle at one end if you’re planning on hiking the entire trail. Otherwise, plan on another half-hour walk back to the starting point. The only downside to this trail is that it gets extremely busy in the summer months, especially on weekends. “The Bear Caves Trail is my favorite trail at Allegany,” said my friend Dave Brown, who frequents ASP. “I like the ‘hunting’ aspect of it, and trying to find the caves each time we go.” The Red House side of the park also offers a variety of hiking trails. A Red House favorite is the Beehunter hiking trail, running between the Beehunter cabin trail and right across from Red House Lake. The steep, hilly trail boasts a beautiful creek around the midway point. At over miles 6 miles long, Beehunter is considered one of the “most difficult” ASP trails and should probably be reserved for older kids that will hang in there for the long haul. “I love the

Beehunter Trail because it’s dense enough to ‘get lost’ in there for a few hours, full of uneven terrain, and has loads of really cool tree roots,” said my friend Holly Standish, who has spent many weekends with us camping at ASP. Our other favorite hike on Red House is the paved bike bath that leads around Red House Lake. It’s the most easy to navigate path, especially if you’re pushing a stroller. However you decide to hike at ASP, you’re sure to see nature at its best. Hiking with your kids is a great way to explore the park, get some exercise, take in the fresh air and spend quality time together. Trail maps are available at the park rental offices.

ECS Board Continued from Front Page

Calarco (Alternate) District Committee appointments were made as follows: Athletics: James Wiley, Leonard Zlockie Health & Safety: Connie Hellwig, William Murphy Technology: Carl Calarco, William Murphy Strategic Planning: Steve Crowley, Leonard Zlockie In all, the board approved some 70 resolutions, appointments, policies and committee assignments during the meeting. The full list of board actions may be found under the “Our District” tab/ Board of Education section on the ECS Web site, www. ellicottvillecentral.com. Superintendent Ward reported that the Ellicottville Middle/High School has been awarded “Reward School” status for showing “High Progress” by the New York State Education Department (NYSED). According to NYSED, Reward Schools are

among those in the state that are the highest achieving or are making the most progress. ECS is among 250 schools in 164 districts to achieve this new designation. Ward also reported that the school has received 57 applications to date to fill the school’s physical education teacher position, which is vacant due to the pending retirement of Tim Bergan. The selection committee will whittle down the list to the top three and invite those candidates in for interviews. At least 23 teachers are working this summer on formal development of curriculum for next year through BOCES. This year, the school will not produce a printed district calendar in order to save money. Instead, Ward said, the calendar will be published in the school newsletter. Building and Grounds Committee Chair Carl Calarco reported that the committee has done a walk-through of the

facility and expects to propose some repairs and maintenance in a number of areas that will not be renovated through the capital project. The committee is particularly concerned about the safety and condition of the dumpsters and their fencing. The dumpsters’ owners will be asked to replace them and the cost of new fencing will be estimated. The committee also likely will propose minor renovations in the nurse’s office and reconfiguration of furniture and audio-visual equipment placement in the high school library. Calarco also reported that the brick walls in the main cafeteria will be painted this summer and the committee is looking at ways to repurpose the cafeteria’s stage to make it more functional for dining. The next meeting of the ECS Board will be held July 23 at 7:30 p.m. in the high school library.

10th Annual Flower Show in Salamanca The Salamanca Garden Club will present their 10th annual Flower Show to the public on Saturday, July 20, from 10 a.m.–3 p.m., at the Ray Evans Seneca Theater at 10 Main St., in Salamanca. Members will display some of their best indoor and

outdoor plants, flowers and more. Last year, 150 displays were entered. The displays will be judged, with ribbons being awarded. Local Master Gardeners will provide information boards on a wide range of garden topics during the flower show, and

there will be door prizes. Come and join the garden club and bring a friend. There is no admission charge and free refreshments. Attendees will be eligible to win a special prize. Any questions should be directed to Nan Miller, Master Gardener, at (716) 945-3845.

HOG Rally Continued from Front Page

www.enchantedmountains. com to download a map. Here are some highlights you won’t want to miss: Green Ride (25 miles): Take a ride through Amish country and step back in time as you ride amid the horse-drawn buggies of this Old Order society. Be sure to slow down and put your camera away — the Amish don’t believe in being photographed. As you ride the undulating roads of the western part of the county, make a few stops to pick up some homemade baked goods and Amish crafts. Pink Ride (77 miles): This heritage ride takes you from Zoar Valley to Allegany State Park and offers a taste of the area’s natural, historical and cultural heritage. Stop in Ellicottville for a great lunch. Then continue to the park and ride the scenic loop — it’s gorgeous in the fall! Blue Ride (42 miles): Head for the wide open blue highways on the eastern edge of the county and explore this north-south route leading you through Franklinville to Cuba to the Seneca Nation Oil Spring Territory, site of first oil spring ever recorded on the

North American continent. Yellow Ride (45 miles): This ride, dotted with interesting villages and friendly folks, will take you through the heart of the Enchanted Mountains with plenty of pit stops and places to eat. As you cruise through Randolph, Little Valley, Ellicottville, Ashford, Machias and Delevan, you’ll discover beautiful vistas, great roads, interesting attractions and unique shopping. Brown Ride (45 miles): Peaceful lakes, curving country roads and rolling mountains offer a relaxing escape from everyday worries. This lightly traveled highway offers plenty of opportunities for a relaxing lunch or a bit of shopping in the Village of Randolph. Red Ride (53 miles): Nicknamed the “Town and Country Ride,” this route along the southeastern part of the county is a real treat with stunning elevations, picturesque villages and the world’s largest exposure of quart conglomerate at Rock City Park — a must see. “We have one of the most beautiful areas to ride in in all of Western New York. We have some of the best roads,

believe it or not, and some of the best scenery and locations,” commented McKeever. “There’s a reason why so many people in the summertime will come out to this area and vacation, and many people ride their bikes to this area.” McKeever said Gowanda Harley-Davidson sponsors Iron Maidens—Women’s Only Riding Group the last Tuesday of every month. All experienced female riders are welcome. On July 27, the Dunlop Riders hit the dealership, and on Aug. 10 they host the Kustom KruiseIn V, their annual classic car and bike show. Visit www. gowandaharley.com for details. Holiday Valley will be teaming with Harley lovers this weekend. If you own a HOG, come celebrate the 25th anniversary of the NYS H.O.G. Rally, the 30th anniversary of the founding of the National H.O.G. Association and the 110th year since the first Harley-Davidson motorcycle hit the road. For more information, call (845) 657-8394 or visit www.nystatehogrally.com. Registration will be available on-site.

Legal Matters:

Defining the Building Blocks of a Will

Serving Locally For Over 20 Years

By Kathleen G. Moriarty, Peters & Moriarty, Attorney and Counselor at Law

Legal Matters is a regular column intended to address general legal concerns. Since every client walks in the door with a different set of circumstances, you should not rely on this column to provide speciﬁc legal advice. If you are in need of speciﬁc legal advice, please consult with an attorney; he or she will provide advice that is unique and tailored to your legal needs.

I sat down to write this column over the weekend, and it occurred to me that I often jump into a topic with the assumption that the basic terms are understood. Although I try to define things as I go along, I thought it best to lay out some of the basics — a primer, if you will. Last Will and Testament: The document that directs how a person’s real and personal property will be distributed after her death. By law, only certain property can be passed by will — “probate assets.” Testator: The person whose will is being drafted; he will be known as the decedent upon his death. Probate Assets: Including, but not limited to, these are the Testator’s personal and real property — most commonly, a person’s home, vehicles, personal items. Non-probate Assets: Some property does not pass by will, because it is controlled by a contract between the owner of the property (the Testator) and the entity holding or managing the property — IRAs, 401K plans, and life insurance policies are good examples. These accounts require the owner to list a beneficiary of the account, and, upon the owner’s death, the beneficiary automatically benefits. With

few exceptions, the contract controls, and an account that is mistakenly listed as a gift in a will is disregarded. Specific Bequest: This is exactly what it says it is. It is the line that reads, “I give, devise and bequeath my antique shoe shining kit to …” I have one, I love it, and I know whom I’m leaving it with. These gifts can be most anything but are often donations to a church, a gun collection, furniture, vehicles or real property. A person may make one, none or many specific bequests. What happens if these items don’t exist upon the Testator’s death is another article. Residuary Clause: This is a catch-all. It is the line that reads, to some degree of variation, “I leave the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, being real or personal, wheresoever situate, to…” Married couples, for instance, often draft wills that mirror each other — each will leaves everything to the remaining spouse and then to the children. Executor: (feminine, Executrix) This is the person responsible for making sure the Testator’s wishes are carried out. This position is not presumed valid; the Executrix must apply to Surrogate’s Court to be appointed officially as Executrix. Appointment usually is not difficult to obtain, but this process will be addressed in a forthcoming article as well. Once appointed, the Executor is responsible for signing any paperwork necessary to sign over deeds or vehicle titles, among other

administrative tasks. Guardian: Parents of minor (under 18) children often appoint a friend or family member to take care of their children in the event that both parents are deceased. Guardians should be made aware of this responsibility prior to being listed in a will. Trustee: This person is responsible for managing any financial accounts that are set aside through the will (or a trust) for another person. The most common example is when parents appoint a trustee to manage a trust set up for minor children in the event that both parents decease. The Guardian and the Trustee may be the same person in this case, but for many reasons parents often choose two separate people. Witness: New York requires a will to be witnessed by two people who acknowledge that the Testator was of sound mine, declared the document to be his will, and had knowledge of the property to be passed through the will. This list is meant as a reference for the basics of drafting a will and is not meant to be all-inclusive; nor is it meant to be a “recipe” for a will. As always, when preparing a legal document, it is wise to consult an attorney to ensure that your wishes are properly carried out.

From theRecommended Bookshelf Reading from the Ellicottville Memorial Library

“The Silver Star” by Jeanette Walls

It is 1970 in a small town in California. “Bean” Holladay is 12 and her sister, Liz, is 15 when their artistic mother, Charlotte, a woman who “found something wrong w every place she ever lived,” takes off to find herself, leaving her girls enough with m money to last a month or two. When Bean returns from school one day and sees a po police car outside the house, she and Liz decide to take the bus to Virginia, where th Uncle Tinsley lives in the decaying mansion that’s been in Charlotte’s family their fo generations. for An impetuous optimist, Bean soon discovers who her father was, and hears many s stories about why their mother left Virginia in the first place. Because money is tight, L and Bean start babysitting and doing office work for Jerry Maddox, foreman of Liz the mill in town—a big man who bullies his workers, his tenants, his children, and his wife. Bean adores her whip-smart older sister—inventor of word games, reader of Edgar Allan Poe, nonconformist. But when school starts in the fall, it’s Bean who easily adjusts and makes friends, and Liz who becomes increasingly withdrawn. And then something happens to Liz. Jeannette Walls, supremely alert to abuse of adult power, has written a deeply moving novel about triumph over adversity and about people who find a way to love each other and the world, despite its flaws and injustices. This book can be borrowed from the Ellicottville Memorial Library in book format only. It is also available as an audio book using our interlibrary loan program.

the board. This will continue until the end of the year, when it will be decided whether to fill the vacancy making it a seven-person board or remove a member making it a fiveperson board. “Four property owners are being taken to court because they have not responded to letters sent to them regarding property maintenance issues,” reported Enforcement Officer Rob Germain. Laurie Finch reported on her research into making a website for the Town of Great Valley. Working with Kim Dry of Salamanca, the cost of setup would be approximately $200 per year. Each town department, including the fire company, could include any information they wanted in it. “The greatest cost comes when changes are made. However two board members and the town clerk are knowledgeable in how it is done, so there would be no cost for changes,” said Finch. The board requests input from the community for the kinds of information they would want included on the website. The website expense will be considered for next year’s budget. Roberta Stone has requested to resign her position as town historian, which she has held for 30-plus years. She has recommended two individuals to fill the position. Others

are welcome to apply. Her resignation was accepted as of June 30 to be made official at the Aug. 12 town board meeting. The Great Valley Summer Youth Program began Monday, July 8, with 34 children attending at the Town Hall in Great Valley and 24 at the Missionary Church in Killbuck. The program is open to children from ages 3–18 from 9 a.m.–1 p.m. daily, with swimming at Holiday Valley from noon to 3 p.m. on Thursday at the cost of 75 cents. Participation in the program is free but children must bring their own lunch. The hamlet of Killbuck is part of the Great Valley Youth Program, which also meets daily from 9 a.m.–1 p.m., with swimming on Thursday

at the Salamanca High School. Lunch is provided. Becky Pierce, Great Valley director, and Libby Fuller, Killbuck director, and 10 staff members lead the children in age-appropriate arts, crafts and outdoor games. “Area youth are hired to work in the program, which gives them a chance at summer employment,” said Toni Evans, Great Valley town clerk. The Summer Youth Program is funded by the Town of Great Valley and state aid. “Donations are always welcome whether monetary, in goods and services, or helping in the program,” said Evans. Call Town Clerk Toni Evans to sign up at (716 945-4200, ext. 100. The next town board meeting is scheduled for Aug. 12.

Strange and Unusual Summer Festivals So you’re lining up the summer festivals you plan to attend before you blink twice and it’s Labour Day already. From Vancouver’s Spot Prawn Festival to Drummondville’s Festival de la Poutine to PEI’s Wild Blueberry Festival — most Canadian summer fairs are based on food. Most but not all. Besides a whole bunch of bathtub races, highland games and fishing derbies, there’s the Accordion Extravaganza in Edmonton, which for three days attracts tens of thousands of music lovers … to Calgary! Buzzard’s Restaurant in Calgary is home to this summer’s Testicle Festival, where visitors will be served prairie oyster fritters and bacon-wrapped “tendergroin.” When the Royal Couple visited the Calgary Stampede in 2011, they introduced an all-new testicle tasting called — I’m not making this up — “The Crown Jewels.” At the cowboy bar called Buzzard’s also known as “The Cajones Club,” sissies will be roughed up at the door. Calgary will also host the International Festival of Animated Objects. It mostly stars puppets and stooges, but some members of the Canadian senate will also be featured this year. If eating the deep-fried reproductive organs of an uncastrated member of the ox family gives you indigestion, do I have a festival for you. Gas Fest. Just down the lake from me in the sleepy village of Selkirk, Ontario, from Aug. 9 – 11 , residents will celebrate the sudden emission of wind from one of two anatomicallydisturbed gas wells. At Gas Fest, an audible eruption at both ends gets you crowned Grand Marshal Of Alka-Seltzer & Kaopectate Parade. The Brits call this feat “the double

collywobble.” Actually, Gas Fest features none of the above and instead celebrates the town’s early exploration of natural gas. Kicked off by a church BBQ, the fair offers arts, crafts, beach volleyball and a baby contest in which the winning burp will be measured on a sound meter in nearby Cheapside. Hundreds of Elvis Impersonators will once again descend on Collingwood, Ontario, where crotch grabbing and hip thrusting will be tolerated for the entire three days of the festival but organizers warn that some lips may become permanently curled up. Weird is the only word for Islendingadagurinn. That’s the Icelandic Festival in Gimli, Manitoba, which sees a maid of the mountain (Fjallkana) crowned the queen and the demonstration of Icelandic warfare tactics since 1924. Iceland prides itself in never having been successfully invaded for the past 90 years due mainly to the strategy of inviting the enemy over for a dinner of hangikjot and lavfabravo. United Nations crime investigators are looking into reports that some prisoners of war were served kutmagar. The Fibre Arts Festival in Gibson’s Landing, British Columbia, will feature seminars in crocheting, quilting, weaving, felting and spectators nodding off by the hundreds. Faced with dwindling attendance, organizers plan to add “Indiscriminate Binge Drinking” to this summer’s program. Canada you say, a country with strange summer celebrations? The East Coast Garden party where they drink Mooseland Beer, eat cod tongues and dance to East

By William Thomas Coast Celtic bands is held in … Grande Prairie, Alberta. That may be great “craic,” as they say in Newfoundland, but it’s also bad geography. Trauma experts will be available to work with hung over Newfies who wake up watching a rodeo. Up in the Yukon at Watson Lake, locals will be guiding tourists on walks through the Forest of 70,000 Signs. In 1942, an American soldier posted a board showing the distance to his home in the United States and the signs have just kept going up. People passing through the forest are encouraged to nail their own signs to a tree. At 70,000 signs, mine would be a “STOP” sign. And finally, the greatest summer “heat beater” of all time — Nudestock North. You may not have been at Woodstock and your dog may not have attended Woofstock, but you and your birthday suit are more than welcome at a “naturalist camp” at Puslinch, just north of Toronto. Motto: “Grin and bare it all.” The nudist camp is called Ponderosa and no — for all the hijinx those crazy Cartwright boys got up to — Hop Sing could not have seen this one coming. This year’s attendees will attempt to break last summer’s record — I did mention I’m not making this up — of 277 naked people in the swimming hole at the same time. It’s call the “Skinny Dip Challenge.” To keep this fair from taking an ugly turn and being renamed “Goose Fest,” the hands of all wading nudists must be above the water at all times. So get out there and enjoy it all. Summers have never been so hot or so strange.

Fresh Produce and Flea Market Treasures at the Springville Auction By Alicia Dziak

If you’ve ever driven through the Village of Springville on a Wednesday, especially in the summer, you’ll notice a huge influx in both street and foot traffic. Where are all these people headed? They’re going to Gentner’s Commission Market, commonly referred to as the Springville Auction. The Springville Auction, located at 341 West Main St. in the Village of Springville, is an old-fashioned market offering farm fresh produce, flea market items, animals and just about anything you can think of. The auction is held every Wednesday, year round, rain or shine, and has been an area tradition for over 70 years. According to their website, “The auction was started in 1939 by Raymond Gentner and his partner Norbert Kessler. The two farmers had to walk their cows to market in Buffalo, a 30-mile trek, and then ride the train home. They decided to start their own market and save the long walk … It is now being run by the third generation, Raymond’s granddaughter Patti and her husband Mitch.” Those in the know wake up early and get to the auction first thing to avoid the crowds. There is ample parking at the auction itself (behind the big red Gentner barn), but there are also businesses that open their lots for parking on Wednesdays for a nominal fee, as well as free lots if you don’t mind a short walk and limited street parking. Auction regulars can be seen pulling wagons and carts so they can avoid making multiple trips back and forth to their cars. Carts fill up quickly, as there is a huge selection of fresh produce and flowers to choose from, not to mention items like maple syrup, honey and specialty foods, most at a fraction of the price you’d pay

in stores. Guests will also enjoy aisle after aisle of flea market finds, including everything from antiques, to jewelry, to new kitchen utensils and everything in between. And most things are so reasonably priced that kids can go with $5 and leave with an armful of treasures. “I’ve been coming here for over 30 years,” said Sheila Vella, 63, of Holland. “I used to bring my kids here and now I bring my grandkids. It’s one of the highlights of my summer. My favorite thing about it is the antiques. There are great bargains if you’re willing to spend the time looking.” “I like that there are a lot of kids’ toys, and I like that they have good items for cheap prices,” chimed in Sheila’s granddaughter, Lily, age 8. “I can bring a couple dollars and buy some good things.” If you have items to sell, the Springville Auction is a great place to set up shop, as it always draws a crowd in the summer months. Flea market vendors can set up in a 24-foot-

by-24-foot space for only $25. When you’re done exploring the flea market and stocking up on fruits and veggies for the week, the animal barns are sure to delight the kids. On any given week, you can find a variety of farm animals, from chickens, to goats, to bunnies, and the produce and live animal auction begins at 2 p.m. The Springville Auction has been attracting thousands of visitors for so many years because of its unique combination of fun finds and such reasonably priced essentials. It’s one of those special places that should be on everyone’s summer to-do list. To get there from Ellicottville, take 219 North toward Springville. Make a right on Route 39 (Main Street) in Springville. The auction will be on your left, before you get to the next stop light. Just look for the big red Genter’s barn.

Village Board Continued from Front Page

response to a New York State Comptroller’s Office audit of the village billing system. The audit concluded that the old system was fraught with inconsistencies, many of which had evolved over time. Some commercial businesses (including those whose owners were in attendance) were being billed as residential properties; some multi-unit properties were getting bills for single dwellings, numerous underbillings were detected due to inaccurate meter readings, etc. In the interest of fairness, and to eliminate inconsistencies, the board and its consultants carefully developed a new set of “Uniform Billing Practices” that included installing new, more accurate water meters in all single-family homes and commercial buildings, installing meters for each unit in multi-family homes, reclassifying commercial users based on meter sizes and establishing new minimum charges. The new rates, as Village Engineer Mike Smith explained to the group, are more equitable; usage beyond the minimum is based on meter readings. The reclassification of commercial businesses that were being billed at residential rates increased the total number of commercial accounts in the village from 21 to 86. Commercial businesses that have 5/8” or 1” meters — the businesses that have low water usage — now have a minimum water rate of $90. The minimum rate for commercial businesses with high usage and 1.5” or larger meters is now $125 or $200. The residential minimum is $32.12. For sewer, commercial users with the smaller meters now pay a minimum rate of $166.30. Large commercial entities pay at least $332.60. Residents pay a minimum of $66.52. All users — residential and commercial alike — pay the same rate per gallon (water)/ cubic foot (sewer) for usage above the minimum. Those rates increased by 5 percent.

Two new local laws related to the new water and sewer rates were passed on April 8 after public hearings on each were held to allow for public comment. No members of the public attended those hearings. In total, the new laws will generate approximately $19,000-$20,000 in revenue for the village, which will be used to pay for infrastructure repairs needed to improve the aging systems. Despite extensive coverage by this and other local newspapers on the topic, and published announcements about the public hearings, the business owners said they did not know about the new laws and that the board should not rely on the local print media as its sole source of communication with the public. They also felt that the minimum rate they are now expected to pay as commercial users is “astronomical” and “way out of line” since they typically use less water/ sewer service than residential customers. It was their perception that the village “is putting the onus on us” to pay for the village’s water/ sewer infrastructure repairs. Collectively, they thought the board should consider reducing their minimums to a level more in line with residential rates. As Smith explained, it is typical throughout the region and the state for commercial entities to pay a higher minimum rate than residential customers. He also noted that the village’s fees are still very low compared to other municipalities in the region. At the end of the nearly 90-minute exchange, the board agreed to a request by the business owners to reexamine the water/sewer rates. However, any changes would require new laws and some board members were disinclined to start the lengthy process over again. The board did agree that using more communication methods would be advisable. At its June meeting, the board declined to make a

requested exception for a commercial entity to be treated as a residential property. DPW Report: Harold Morton, DPW superintendent, asked the board for approval to purchase a new lawn mower from Lamb & Webster. Final cost after trade-in of the old equipment will be $4,650. The board approved the request. Morton also reported that his department had completed numerous tasks over the past month, including some road resurfacing on Mill and Martha streets, tree removal, water leak repair, meter reading, sewer plant maintenance, dig requests and more. Constable’s Report: Village Constable Howard Gifford reported that he issued three traffic summonses, 11 verbal warnings and 12 parking tickets in June. He also answered two alarms and two calls on disorderly patrons at Kwik Fill. One $50 traffic ticket was paid. Engineer’s Report: Village Engineer Mike Smith said the flood mapping consultant’s response to questions posed by FEMA is nearing completion. It is due back to FEMA on July 25. Smith also reported that progress is under way by the town’s engineer on relocating the east tank to a more suitable site and that the wastewater treatment plant overhaul plans are going smoothly. Special Events Committee Report: The board approved road closure, tent set-up and other plans proposed by Committee Chair Patra Lowes for Ellicottville’s Jazz Fest, Taste of Ellicottville and Rock N’ Roll Weekend. Changes in plans for Fall Fest are still confidential pending new policies and strategies that are being considered for enhanced security and event control. Lowes asked that the village building inspector hold off on issuing tent permits for Fall Fest until final policy decisions are made. The next meeting of the Village Board will be held Aug. 12 at 6 p.m. in the Village/ Town Hall.

The Dream Diet: Sleep Yourself Skinny By Michael Williams, RD

Miracle weight loss products are everywhere. These products, whether creams, pills, detox juices or belts that electrocute the fat from our stomach, claim to not only wipe away the weight but to make it easy. But of all these products, what could be easier than sleeping? Well, as silly as it sounds, there is a growing scientific understanding that sleep (or lack thereof) affects our weight loss efforts. Can we really sleep ourselves skinny? Sort of. Research shows that by missing too much sleep, we set ourselves for big weight gains. These “staying awake” weight gains occur from the many hormonal and metabolic changes that accompany even a modest sleep deprivation. A major impact of sleep deprivation is the imbalance of

appetite-stimulating hormones. Without enough sleep, our body produces an increased level of the stress hormone cortisol. This increased cortisol has the dual effect of increasing our hunger for high fat and sugary foods while increasing the storage of belly fat. Though it’s not just cortisol — other hormones such as ghrelin and leptin, which work to stimulate and suppress appetite, are thrown way off kilter during sleep deprivation. The more time we are awake, the more likely it is we will have extra late night snacks. A recent study from the University of Colorado found that sleep-deprived people ate more late snacks, which led to an increased calorie intake and weight gain. Likewise, a similar study by the University of Pennsylvania found that

people getting only four hours of sleep consumed many more meals, snacks and calories, and eventually gained over 2 pounds in just a five-day period. How much sleep do we need to notice benefits? The National Sleep Foundation recommends 7-9 hours for adults. Comparatively, most studies on sleep and weight compare sleep deprivation to 8-10 hours of sleep nightly. Therefore, to positively affect weight loss, it is recommended that we get at least the minimum of 7-9 hours a night. Personally, I’ve noticed that when my weight management patients get at least 7 hours sleep, they have improvements in their overall losses and report decreased levels of stress.

Nana’s House Rescues Mexican Children Learn More July 24 at the Ellicottville Library

Nana’s House Rescues Mexican Children Presentation July 24 at Ellicottville Library by Lilian Dirito Four years ago, I learned about Nana’s House in Tepic, Nayarit, México, through a ministry called La Fuente Ministries. Tepic is the capital of the state of Nayarit in the North Pacific of Mexico, and the city where I grew up until I went to college. Mary Jo Hansen, a wonderful American woman that has been living in Tepic for over 15 years, along with P. Jodiann Schott from Spokane, Wash., founded Nana´s House over five years ago. Mary Jo felt in her heart the desire to rescue girls from poverty, abandonment and abusive conditions. She has been very successful in her mission and now has 23 children. A few months ago, Nana´s House started a home from boys, so there are 18 girls and five boys altogether. The background and life stories of these children are heartbreaking, to say the least, from sexual abuse to human trafficking to abandonment on the streets to suicide attempts. They range from 3 to 15 years old, and most of them have never attended school. Mary Jo worked for months and years to get them into the

school system, but because of documentation and history requirements, the public schools did not accept them. She finally found a private school for them. To get acclimated, the children go through a few months of school training to learn basic skills before joining the regular school program. The changing testimonies are breathtaking. Girls and boys who were living with an extreme, uncertain future are now some of the top students in their classes, and are active, peaceful and loving. During my past few winters in México, I have participated in different activities with Nana´s House. This last winter I taught a Zumba fitness class for them twice a week. We went on a trip to the mall and to dinner with the boys to celebrate one of their birthdays. They love tacos! These children are so appreciative. The minute they see you, they pour so much love and respect that you just want to hug them and kiss them forever. Sofia and Diego (my children) love going to visit them. The little girls like Sofia a lot, because she plays with them for hours and does girlie things that they feel are so much fun. Diego, of course, goes with the boys. They run, play, bike and build things.

The home grew from 12 to 15 to over 20 children in just a few months. It takes around $300 US to support one child per month. They all receive three meals a day, clothes, shoes, school supplies, school tuition, uniforms, medical expenses (there is no medical insurance available for these kids), dental work and braces in some cases, etc. Nana´s House is a non-profit organization that supports itself solely by donations. Right now, the children are divided by ages and live in three different homes. Mary Jo´s dream is to get donated land in Tepic to build a home where they can all live together. Every time a child comes into Nana´s House, they are always welcomed, even if the home is full. The children mostly come from very critical experiences. The only thing Mary Jo and the staff want to do is take them, hug them, take care of beaten little faces and other injuries, and help them recover from a suicide attempt (like the case of Tonatiuh, a 10-year-old boy), and just keep them safe. Over the winter, I told Mary Jo about Ellicottville and the incredible community we have here. My heart´s desire quickly moved into the possibility of sharing this mission with our community. Two months ago, Mary Jo wrote me and asked if she could come and to share our mission. We will have a short video presentation on July 24 at 7 p.m. in the Ellicottville Memorial Library’s Community Room. Please join us to learn more about Nana´s House. It will be an evening full of loving and giving inspiration. For more information, please email Lilian Dirito at ldirito@ gmail.com or call (716) 2442114. More information is at www.casanana.net or www. nanascasa.com.

“I’m responsible for my employees. I thought it was done, but it wasn’t. I’ll make sure it is done tomorrow morning,” he said. “At the last meeting, we were explicit that these conditions must be met by June 25 or the permit would be revoked,” said Planning Board Chair Nancy Rogan. “We’ve been talking

about some of these conditions for a year, and we’re concerned that things aren’t getting done.” Pending completion of the conditions, Sprague Development may resubmit the credit union’s drive-through plans at the August meeting of the Planning Board. In other business, the Planning Board reviewed

preliminary sketch plans for a minor subdivision at 51 Mill St. The owner, Kent Dixon, proposes to subdivide the property into four lots for single-family homes. The next meeting of the Village Planning Board will be held at the Village/Town Hall on Aug. 13 at 5:30 p.m.

Letter to the Editor

Art in the Garden and Plein Aire Competition a Great Success

opportunities for people to try their hand at flying planes, the group does hold an open house in late summer for those who want to try. Follett said the rally is more of a show, a chance for the approximate 44 active members to show their stuff. From bi-planes to jets to helicopters, the aircrafts on display this weekend will amaze everyone, Follett said. The skill required to fly them through the air may impress people even more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not something you can just pick up and fly,â&#x20AC;? Follett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You should go through a training period.â&#x20AC;? Novices work with â&#x20AC;&#x153;masterâ&#x20AC;? fliers via remote. Once the aircraft is airborne, the master pilot controls the aircraft until the novice is ready. Flipping a switch, control is given to the novice, who practices under the masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s watchful eye. Follett said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best way to learn the skill. After all, one mistake can be costly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this belief that starting a hobby like this is expensive, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not necessarily true,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ask guys if they hunt, and most say yes, and then I tell them they can get an aircraft and

supplies for about $350. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less than a gun and supplies.â&#x20AC;? Follett said the hobby isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as expensive as it used to be, and planes and supplies are more durable than in the past. If you are interested in joining STARS, Follett said annual dues are reasonable, only $45, and the benefits are many. Not only is there the opportunity to keep active and social in a group, there is the benefit of learning a skill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a lot of hobbies,â&#x20AC;? Follett said, laughing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is just another one. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also one of my favorites.â&#x20AC;? Summer meets are held at the flying field, located near the intersection of Oil Spring Road south of Cuba Lake, at 7:30 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month. Winter meetings are held at the College Center at Jamestown Community College in Olean at 7 p.m. For more information about the group and upcoming events, including this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rally, visit www.rcstars.org. For more information, please call (716) 372-1137 or (716) 376-5650. Admission and camping is free with a $5 parking donation.

LEGAL NOTICES

July 17 â&#x20AC;˘2nd Annual

Clark Follett found himself holding a radio-controlled model aircraft for the first time in 2007, not because he had always wanted to, but because his wife had always dreamed of it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d always wanted to try it,â&#x20AC;? Follett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I took her and I discovered that I liked it, too.â&#x20AC;? Disabled, Follettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife had heard many times she would be unable to control the plane, but she proved them wrong. Both Folletts have since become active in the Southern Tier Aero Radio Society (STARS), which was founded in 1932. Clark is currently president. Since 1978, the group has held an annual rally, considered by many to be the largest of its kind in the state. On Saturday and Sunday, July 13â&#x20AC;&#x201C;14, group members and visitors will descend upon the Olean/Cattaraugus Airport for yet another weekend of flying and socializing. From 10 a.m.â&#x20AC;&#x201C;5 p.m. Saturday, and 10 a.m.â&#x20AC;&#x201C;3 p.m. Sunday, you can watch hundreds of different types and sizes of scale aircraft take to the skies over the 2,000-plusfoot runway. The airport is located at 5420 Hatch Hill Rd. in Ischua. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wonderful time for everyone involved,â&#x20AC;? Follett said, adding that fliers from surrounding states and beyond come to show their stuff. Even vacationers, passing through on their way further east, west, north and south stop and watch. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s common knowledge that STARS was the first organization to feature the giant scale model aircraft. Activities at the rally include demonstrations and food. And while there are no

items that are handmade or manufactured in Cattaraugus County by our local artisans and manufacturers. The event is intended to showcase all the items actually made here in the county and to promote buying local, just in time for the holiday shopping season. Special activities are being planned for the children in the family. This event will be held rain or shine since it is indoors. The department is seeking family-friendly manufacturers and artisans who will set up to display and sell their wares during the two-day expo. We would like to have a variety of vendors represented during the

event. To register, the person/ business must be located in Cattaraugus County and must make something â&#x20AC;&#x201D; this event is specifically for manufacturers and artisans. Tables are on a firstcome, first-served basis and preregistration is required. An early-bird registration rate of $10 is being offered for those registering by July 31. Registration will cost $20 after this date. Registration will close on Sept. 15. Space is limited, so register early. Contact Lenora Leasure at (716) 938-2311 or email her LALeasure@cattco.org.

Darlene Allen has done it again with the help of the Chamber of Commerce, Mayor Charlie Coolidge and the talent of dozens of artists from far and near. The Art in the Garden tour and the first annual Plein Aire competition were a resounding success. About 400â&#x20AC;&#x201C;500 people graced the usually tranquil backyard garden setting of Allenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home Friday evening for the candlelight preview and Saturday for the main event. The Creator smiled on us with beautiful summer weather and there were even a couple little entrepreneurs selling their classic lemonade on the sidewalk. The event was organized by Darlene to honor some of the very best in local talent in this invitationonly show, and if you attended, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have noticed that the wares were uncommonly good, in fact exceptional. Not only did Ms. Allen organize the Art in the Garden event but she also participated with some of her extraordinary photography. Recently, her work was even juried into the prestigious Southern Tier Biennial and will be touring New York State. She may even end up with a solo show if the judges recognize her brilliant eye for photography. The Plein Aire event showcased artists who paint on the spot and what is in front of them. Plein Aire is a French term for â&#x20AC;&#x153; open air or full airâ&#x20AC;? and the look of the works is often quite a bit more spontaneous than normal studio painting or drawings. At Ms. Allenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garden, there were actually four competitors working during the course of Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s painting session. All of the artists were required to submit two completed artworks between Friday and Sunday morning so the pressure was on. There were some really wonderful and surprising gems that turned up Sunday morning. The front lawn of the 1887 Building hosted the event, where artists set up their easels for a Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice judging competition and the masses cast their ballots. When the votes were tallied by some great volunteers, Ms. Allen grabbed the microphone and shared the results. Third Place and Second Place favorite both went to Mikel Wintermantelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paintings pictured here, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Country Roadâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Four.â&#x20AC;? The Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice Winner for the event went to Todd Plough for his oil painting, â&#x20AC;&#x153; The Water Garden.â&#x20AC;? The subject for the painting is located in the backyard of Darlene Allenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing space â&#x20AC;&#x201D; funny how things come full circle. Many thanks to everyone who volunteered with the events and all the great artists who were the core of this celebration of life. Watch out for the dates of Darleneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next 2013 Fall Fest events and another Plein Aire competition. Artists for the next Plein Aire event are required to bring an additional painter, the suggestion of one of the participants so this is going to get big fast. Look for both these events at Fall Fest 2013 and keep up to date on all the happenings at www.ellicottvilleny. com. For more of Todd Ploughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s works, you can visit www.americanimpressionism.net, and to see Mikel Wintermantelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talents, go to www.mikelwintermantel.com. If you are impressed, be aware that both Mikel and Todd teach art classes for those who have the spirit to learn. Maybe youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be the next Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice!

Artist Deadline Extended for Art in the Park Now Accepting Handcrafted, Locally-Made Goods Art in the Park, Olean’s original outdoor art show, celebrates its 64th anniversary this year, and the Cattaraugus County Arts Council (CCAC) is once again pleased to be the producer of this historic event. Held in conjunction with Taste of Olean, this year’s event will be held on Sunday, July 28 from 11 a.m.–5 p.m. on the Olean campus of Jamestown Community College. Area artists are invited to submit an application by July 17 to exhibit at this outdoor juried event. Art in the Park is a one-day juried outdoor art exhibition dedicated to excellence in the visual arts as well as enhancing and promoting the visual arts and the talented artists in the area. New this year, the event will be open to artisans producing handcrafted, locally-made goods, for example, all-natural handmade soaps from J Wild Soaps in Olean. Anne Conroy-Baiter, Executive Director of the arts council noted, “CCAC's decision to accept artisans producing handcrafted, locally-made goods follows a nationwide trend of honoring regionalism. Artisans who are making unique items, which wouldn't normally fit into any of the fine art categories, but who are creating original and creative products have a real place in this economy, and should be honored as such. Like the fine art section, the artisan works will be juried carefully to ensure high quality and original work.” Please call (716) 372-7455 or email heather@myartscouncil. net for more information.

Voodoo Moon Rising Coming Aug. 24 “Voodoo Moon – A Tribute to Michael Kerns” is coming Saturday, Aug. 24 6 p.m. at John Harvard’s Cabana Bar & Pool Complex at Holiday Valley. (Great weather is guaranteed, but we will move inside if weather is unsuitable) This event is the absolute favorite Ellicottville party, with over 200 people attending this upscale end of the summer event. This event is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Ellicottville Foundation for Youth to raise funds for their many worthy projects including their affiliate Family Support for Ellicottville. This is by far the best food served at any venue, with many mouth-watering entrees provided by the best restaurants in town, with their chef’s looking to show off their signature dish. Many culinary surprises are in store for those who attend. But wait until you see the dessert table Watson’s Chocolates abound and there will be extra special cakes, cookies and tarts created by chef Tom Kneeland. When you arrive, you are greeted with great hors d’oeuvres served by students from ECS. Spin the wheel and win some great prizes. Before and during dinner you will listen to the great music of Lee Ron Zydeco. You will love the silent auction, as there is always a great bargain and it is fun to watch as the wine lovers bid on the rare wine offered in the live auction. Live auction items last year included Buffalo Sabres tickets for games against the Montreal Canadiens, the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Tampa Bay Lightning, as well as a CUTCO knife sets and many more great bargains. This year Lee Ron Zydeco provides the entertainment. Their up tempo Zydeco music tops off the Louisiana Cajun theme and will have the crowd a jumpin’. Beyond the food and the company, this is by far Ellicottville’s favorite event and it helps a great cause and is tax deductible. Remember that this is Ellicottville, so the dress is always casual or come in theme. Tickets are $65 per person and will be available in many local outlets but you can order by phone (credit cards accepted). Call Kegs at (716) 699-8758.
