Lots of Free or Low-Cost Fun in Little Valley Swimming and Lessons, Summer and Winter Soccer, Ice Skating
By Jeff Martin
There are some big recreational secrets you may not know about in Little Valley.
Peggy Root, clerk/treasurer for the village, said it’s not uncommon that both residents and neighbors are unaware of the variety of offerings the village has. “People are surprised,” Root said. “Some people don’t expect a lot from a little town.” For example, the village has a large community pool that’s free every day from 12–7 p.m. Root said the village encourages everyone to attend with a village resident, but that’s not enforced. “Residents pay for the service in a lot of ways,” she said, “so we’d like to encourage residents only, but we don’t turn anyone away.” That goes for swimming lessons, too. The program, ranging from toddler to advanced, See Fun in Little Valley page 8

The Gunsolus family of Cattaraugus has been a smash hit in the demolition derby circuit over the years. Jim Gunsolus and his son, Bryan, have amassed over 100 trophies from wins in Western New York and Ohio. This spring, Bryan won the demo in Cuba, and now he has set his
crosshairs on the demo contest at the Cattaraugus County Fair on July 29. For Jim, demo derbies — and the inherent danger involved in them — continue to hold his family spellbound. Jim said, “People are watching something they don’t dare do because it’s dangerous, very dangerous.”
Drivers will crowd into the grandstand arena on Monday night and, again, on the last night of the fair with one mission: smash opponents’ vehicles into submission and be the last one driving. Popular since the mid ‘60s, demolition derbies are spectacles that speak to all drivers who See Demo Derby page 11
CCIDA Approves HoliMont, Ontario Knife Proposals By Jann Wiswall
The Cattaraugus County Industrial Development Agency’s Board of Directors approved a proposal for sales tax abatement for several projects underway at HoliMont this summer, as well as a sale/ leaseback agreement for Franklinville’s Ontario Knife Company.
The HoliMont proposal relates to several infrastructure and construction activities that are in process at HoliMont. These projects are not related to the WestMont Ridge Project, which was approved for abatements and sale/leaseback arrangements by CCIDA at its May meeting.
The $400,000-plus in projects includes improving snowmaking equipment and infrastructure, generator improvements, road repairs, lift house renovations and main chalet restroom renovations. In addition, HoliMont is building a log warming cabin at the top of the Cascade chairlift, See CCIDA page 9

First Annual Youth Leadership Retreat Held at Allegany State Park The first annual Cattaraugus County Youth Leadership Retreat took place on Wednesday, July 10, 2013, at Allegany State Park. Sixty-one youth representing all school districts from Cattaraugus County gathered for a day of training, education and fun in order to cultivate leadership qualities that they can take back to their communities and schools. The retreat was sponsored by Healthy Cattaraugus County: A Drug Free Coalition (HCC) and coordinated by CAReS, Inc. Prevention Staff and the Youth Development Coalition under the leadership of Dr. Anthony Evans. Catherine Speroni, HCC Coalition coordinator, emphasized that it takes buy-in from all levels of our community to support our leaders of tomorrow. “HCC is a coalition made up of a cross sector of individuals, businesses, parents, youth,

faith-based, governmental and tribal officials, law enforcement, educators and other youth-serving agencies that encompass our county as a whole,” said Speroni. “This retreat was supported by all those groups in an effort to cultivate healthy young leaders who will go back to their schools, homes, and communities and stand for a healthier way of living, and the ability to make smart choices about the way they want to live their lives.” The retreat featured an interactive session by Barry Broughton from AKT Combatives in Olean, N.Y. “I designed the ‘Take Ground! ...It’s Your Life!’ program to assist students in developing the skills and character traits needed to be strong leaders in their communities. The concepts of teamwork, critical thinking and commitment were reinforced

will learn how to take action and overcome obstacles, culminating with an exciting board breaking exercise. Gowanda Central School responded to the retreat invitation with excellent attendance in students, volunteers and administrators.
ASPHS Biggest Turnout for Dance Hall Days
By Bob Schmid
Our Allegany State Park Historical Society (ASPHS) had our biggest turnout yet, this past Saturday, at our monthly meeting. With a packed house of approximately 80 people in attendance at the park’s school building classroom at Camp Allegany, the audience was captivated and mesmerized by our guest speaker, Bob Byledbal. Mr. Byledbal is a charismatic and upbeat man who had operated the Allegany State Park concessions of the park stores, the Quaker Snack Pavilion, and then later the Quaker Dance Hall and also the Red House Dance Pavilion from 1951 until and including 1978. The subject of Bob’s talk was the “History of the Dances and Dance Halls at Allegany State Park,” and he did not disappoint us. He went all out for this presentation that included a computerized PowerPoint presentation and
an audio and video sound system that was all controlled off to the side by Bob’s son, Rob Byledbal. He also had old photos, old park Dawn Dance posters, original film footage of square dance calling from the early 1950s, as well as actual original audio recordings of some of these memorable dances held in the park. That was followed by Bob’s fun quiz on his presentation, with some lucky winners taking home some mementos of Bob’s exciting talk. Their prizes were old original 45 records that were once actually played in the Dance Halls. With a big huge smile through all of his reminiscing, the Dawn Dances were his favorite he said. They were held the Saturday of each Labor Day Weekend starting at 9 p.m. and would continue until the break of dawn, thus given the name Dawn Dance. The Quaker Dance Hall closed after Labor Day Weekend of 1970 and was used by the park
Dave Remington and Bob Byledbal
for storage of appliances. The last dance ever held at the Red House Dance Pavilion was on July 4, 1973. After the dances ended in the park, this Red House Pavilion was used as a snack bar and game room, and was torn down in the fall of 1984. A miniature golf course was built on the exact same site as this old Dance Pavilion. If you have any questions about park history or ASPHS, please contact Bob Schmid, Director of the ASPHS on their Facebook page or call (716) 400-1834.

ECS Annual Alumni Banquet 141 Come from Near and Far By Mary Fox
Friday evening, July 19, alumni of 27 graduating classes of Ellicottville Central School gathered at Tannenbaum Lodge at Holiday Valley for their annual class reunions. The event was well attended by 141 alumni from the oneyear (2013) class to 70-year (1943) classes, as well as family members who attended the combined alumni reunion banquet. Classes are given special recognition each five years. Alumni came from all over the country to attend this rite of renewal. Hugs and exclamations filled the room as everyone enjoyed the opportunity to get together, reminisce about old times and catch up on what they are doing. “I am so grateful to be able to come. It is wonderful to see old friends again from Ellicottville Central High School. I’m having a wonderful time,” said Ann Eysaman, a 70-year alumna who has been a highly respected member of the Ellicottville community all her life. “The classes are so small everybody gets to know everybody. That’s the glue that makes it as successful as it is,” said Pete Widger, class of 1955. Officers of the Alumni Association are John Burrell, president; Nancy Rogan,
vice president; M a r g a r e t Eysaman O’Brien, secretary; Pete Widger, treasurer; and Nancy Adams Brown, historian.

The Rally is Seeking Retail Vendors OLEAN — The Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce (GOACC) is seeking retail and craft vendors to participate in the 11th annual Rally in the Valley event, Aug. 21-25, in Olean. The Rally is expected to draw several thousand motorcyclists from across the region. GOACC would like to offer companies an opportunity to take a vendor booth at the event. This year, the event will open for vendors with a Friday Kickoff to the Rally, Aug. 23, with a Bike Parade and regional music entertainment.
Saturday’s event will include bands, and contests: slow ride, ball drop, tire toss and hot dog. Sunday’s activities will consist of music, a dice run starting at 11 a.m. and the raffle of a Harley Davidson 2013 Street Glide FLHX. The three events will all be held at one location — vendors will not need to move and set up their spaces each day. Vendors must apply to be considered. Vendors will be selected based on minimum qualifications, as well as experience, quality of service, variety, cleanliness and

Holy Crap! How Hot Was It?!? In mid-July, a lot of the world suffered through the hottest heat wave on record in almost two decades. Temperatures kept soaring to over 100 F in the States, while in Canada they hit over 40 C when the humidity factor was included. Conditions in both countries went from hot, to extremely hot, to oppressive, then dangerous and in some cases fatal. Just how hot did it get inside a car sitting in the sun on July 16 in Toronto? The Toronto Star reporter who conducted the experiment had two thermometers with him when he entered the car at 32 C outside, 37 C inside. Within 15 minutes, the handheld thermometer maxed out at 40 C (128 F) and the one that measured his body temperature just quit working. Soon after that, the air conditioner vomited. Last Sunday, Death Valley hit 129 F, just short of the record of 134 F, the hottest ever recorded temperature on the planet. They called it Death Valley in memory of the poor bugger they sent out to read the thermometers. It hit 100 F in Washington, D.C., and inside Congressman John Boehner’s tanning bed, the dial shot up to “Dark Roasted.” It was so hot in the States, the National Rifle Association introduced a 100-round magazine clip for “Super Soaker” water guns. Americans were in such a foul mood, they named the bank of high pressure that created this mess — Lehman Brothers. It was so hot last week, reporters were frying eggs on the pavements as they always do during a heat wave, but this time they were doing it inside air-conditioned shopping malls. It was so hot in Hollywood, Lindsay Lohan was found with her head in a freezer in a failed suicide attempt proving once again it’s not the heat, it’s the stupidity.
It was so hot in Lancaster, Pa., air conditioner salesmen were going door to door in Amish country. It was so hot at Fox News, Bill O’Reilly’s pants finally did catch on fire. And over at NBC it was so hot, the producer of “The View” found Barbara Walters backstage with her butt in a bucket of ice. It was so hot last week in North America, Mennen announced a recall of their Original Speed Stick product involving more than 12 million armpits. The sports world was not immune to the devastating heat. At a world class sprint event in Jamaica, the athlete’s urine samples were drying up faster than they could turn positive. It was so hot during France’s Tour de France that the cyclists didn’t even have to sterilize their needles. It was so hot in New York City at the NHL/Olympic negotiations, Gary Bettman’s staff carried him from meeting to meeting in a beer cooler. In Ottawa, Canada, Prime Minister Stephen Harper was sweating so much it looked like a reporter had just asked about that $90,000 gift his party gave to Mike Duffy. In fact, it was so hot in Canada, Senator Mike Duffy actually did go to his seaside cottage in PEI, the one he claimed as a $20,000 primary residence expense but actually had never been to. It was so hot in Southern Portugal, the local government finally passed a law forbidding German tourists from wearing socks with their sandals. It was so hot in Cardiff, Wales, high schools boys prohibited from wearing shorts to Whitchurch High School because of a “no shorts” rule, wore skirts instead. Yeah, not trousers or jumpers but skirts. New school rule for boys: “Don’t ask. Don’t tell. Don’t bend over.” In London, England, thousands of people standing
By William Thomas in the hot sun in front of St. Mary’s Hospital waiting for the Duke and Duchess of C a m b r i d g e ’s birth announcement began feeling lightheaded, unstable and delusional. However, doctors believe those symptoms are consistent with people who stand in the street for weeks waiting for the birth announcement of somebody they are not even remotely related to. Those who had been standing there for three weeks were rushed to mental hospitals. It was so hot in the Yorkville district of Toronto people were cooking tofu-fused, free range egg soufflés on the hoods of illegally-parked Bentleys. It was so hot at city hall, a video surfaced of Mayor Rob Ford inhaling radiator coolant through a crack pipe. It was so hot in Puslinch, Ontario, even the reporters covering Nudestock North were walking around “starkers.” It was so hot in nearby Welland, Ontario, police found the Dickey Dee Ice Cream guy cringing inside his own cart. On the worst day of the hot spell, I crossed the road in bare feet to fetch the mail from my rural route box as I always do in summer and my feet stuck to the surface. Honest. The tar underneath had bubbled up over the chipped stone and I was walking in gobs of black goo. Personally, I was hydrating at such a rate through the entire heat wave that near the end I discovered something they call “non-alcoholic beverages.” Apparently, they’ve been around for years. And finally, it was so hot here in Wainfleet, Mayor April Jeffs called a news conference at the town hall and announced that until further notice, they were legalizing butt crack! Yeah! And the plumbers are over the moon.
School Renovation Designs Nearing Completion
By Jann Wiswall
The ECS Board of Education met Tuesday, July 23, and conversation centered on the progress of the school renovation project approved by voters in March. The project’s architects and school staff members are nearing completion of the detailed design plans needed for the project’s next phase, which is to attach firm cost estimates to the project. As Superintendent Mark Ward said, if cost estimates exceed the approved budget, the board will have the difficult task of making some choices. Ward and Board Chair Roger Spell filled the board in on some revisions and solutions the architects have proposed, including designs for the new main high school
entrance, loading dock area and mechanical space, lighting the parking lot and football field, ventilation and drainage fixes for the elementary school, revisions to the multi-purpose room’s projection booth, and more. Outside of the capital improvement project, the board also discussed planned renovations to the existing high school cafeteria’s stage area to repurpose it into dining space. Middle/High School Principal Bob Miller reported that he has been to or is scheduled to attend several educational and informational meetings, including a BOCES meeting on regional exam scoring, a meeting on professional development, a Dignity for All Students Act (DASA) meeting on cyber
Americana Art Fair • Photos by Bob McCarthy
bullying and codes of conduct, a Pathways to Graduation meeting and a special education meeting for principals. The board took action on a number of resolutions and approved two major hires for the 2014-14 school year: Chad Bartoszek was hired as the new physical education teacher replacing departing teacher Tim Bergan, and Alice Alessi was hired as speech teacher, replacing speech and hearing handicapped services provided in the past by BOCES. In addition, the board approved hiring ECS teacher David McCann to also serve as the modified volleyball coach for 2013-14. The board also approved placing an announcement in the Olean Times and Salamanca Press newspapers regarding a public hearing concerning a proposed appropriation of funds not to exceed $25,000 from the Repair Reserve Fund to cover cafeteria rehabilitation. The public hearing will be held at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 13, at the high school library before that evening’s regularly scheduled board meeting.

lasts eight weeks and is a mere $25. Again, Root stresses that only residents of Cattaraugus, Mansfield and Little Valley sign up, but no one is turned away. The pool remains a popular attraction in the village. Handicapped accessible with a deep end (a rarity in most municipalities because of liability issues), people come from all over to use the pool, including a bus traveling from Ellicottville as part of that town’s recreation department. The village also has a newly built basketball court located directly across from the public pool on 1st Street. T-ball (coed) for ages 4–8, and baseball (co-ed) and softball (girls) for ages 8–12 are also offered at low cost. Aside from the pool, there is the free ice skating rink during the winter months. Located on Erie Street, people from all over can skate for free Monday through Friday 4–8 p.m. and 12–8 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Donations have made available enough skates to fit all sizes. Beverages are served for free, too. Another hidden gem in the village, Root said. Growing in popularity every year, the
village’s youth soccer program may soon become its signature offering. Organized and coached by Myrna Reynolds, a former teacher, the program attracted 200 children in Little Valley alone last year. The program returned after Reynolds picked up the program following the death of her husband. “She really wanted to get it started again,” Root said. “And everything Myrna tries turns out great.” Subsequently, the village nominated her for Volunteer of the Year through the New York State West Youth Soccer Association. She won deservedly. Attracting students beyond Little Valley’s boarders, the program aims to teach children the basics of the popular sport,
including the invaluable lesson of teamwork. During the warm months, children play at the American Legion field. There are challenges, however. In the near future, the American Legion may not be able to sustain and fund the field, prompting organizers to be on the lookout for a place to play. In the winter, children, as many as 100 last season, practice and play in the old Little Valley school. And for the first time, a summer soccer camp was held. “Myrna applied for a grant and got money to help fund it,” Root said. “She’s amazing and really believes in the program.” For more information about these and other programs, call the Village of Little Valley at (716) 938-9151.

Protect Yourself from Health Fraud Scams By Michael R Williams, RD
Health is a major market, one that pulls in over $2.7 trillion annually. Of this, it is estimated that between 3â&#x20AC;&#x201C;10 percent comes from health fraud scams. Health fraud scams are defined by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as â&#x20AC;&#x153;products that claim to prevent, treat, or cure diseases or other health conditions, but are not proven safe and effective for those uses.â&#x20AC;? Unfortunately, we do not have to look too far to find bogus health products and scams. These scams are widespread in newspaper, radio and magazine ads, TV â&#x20AC;&#x153;infomercialsâ&#x20AC;? and all across the internet. Most health fraud scams are targeted to vulnerable populations that are desperate for help, including people searching for last-minute miracle cures and low-cost treatments. The prime targets are typically older adults, as the FDA notes that most victims are 65 years and older. Common conditions for these scams include treatments for cancer, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, anti-aging and weight loss products. The best step to prevent becoming a victim is to be aware of how these scams operate. Below are some tips to identifying health fraud scams. Miracle Cures: Claims such
as â&#x20AC;&#x153;miracle cure,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;secret ingredient,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;wonder breakthroughâ&#x20AC;? are some of the most notorious in health fraud scams. These miracle cures are often anything but miracles or cures, as they are not likely tested or proven to work. The FDA emphasizes that â&#x20AC;&#x153;if a real cure for a serious disease were discovered, it would be widely reported through the media and prescribed by health professionals â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not buried in print ads, TV infomercials or on Internet sites.â&#x20AC;? These â&#x20AC;&#x153;miracle cureâ&#x20AC;? scams are often followed by outrageous claims such as secret ancient techniques rediscovered or conspiracy theories of the medical industry to silence them. Conspiracy Theories: Often health scams will offer some explanation as to why their product is not part of mainstream medical treatments. These range from statements that the pharmaceutical industry and the government secretly bans cures to rediscoveries of ancient medicines not accepted by medical science. The question to ask is, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why would large numbers of healthcare workers try to actively block treatments that could save millions of lives, many whom could be their family or friends?â&#x20AC;? In reality, these conspiracy theories are used
to distract consumers from the absence of scientific evidence behind a product. Personal Testimonies: The personal testimony is one of the most common characteristics of fraudulent health products. These â&#x20AC;&#x153;success storiesâ&#x20AC;? are often exaggerated claims such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;this product cured my diabetesâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;I lost 30 pounds in 30 days.â&#x20AC;? There is no way to prove that these claims are real versus made up. Therefore, they should not substitute for real scientific evidence. Before trying out or purchasing any miracle cures remember the following: When something looks too good to be true â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it very like is. Whenever starting a new medicine, supplements or treatment, seek the advice of a qualified health care professional. Many TV and magazine â&#x20AC;&#x153;doctorsâ&#x20AC;? that endorse a product may just be actors or models. Research their credentials or even better â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ask your own healthcare practitioner about a product. Use common sense when it comes to your health.

complete with a wood stove, seating and light food service. HoliMont General Manager Dave Riley noted that all work will be done by HoliMontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full-time, yearround staff, ensuring longterm employment for local residents. CCIDA Executive Director Corey Wiktor commented that HoliMontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continued commitment to reinvest in the resort and enhance future development fits well into the CCIDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals to expand tourism and keep jobs in the county. CCIDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approval of Ontario Knife Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expansion plans in Franklinville also fits into CCIDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals related to county employment growth, retention and industrial development. The company, which manufactures fixedblade and folding knives, as well as cutlery and tools, plans to relocate and expand its
112-year-old business into a 75,000-square-foot facility on five acres and will renovate and build an addition to the facility. CCIDA will provide financial assistance in the form of sales tax abatements and exemptions for certain property, transfer, mortgage recording and other taxes. After approving these projects, Wiktor took the board through a proposed adjusted 2013 budget for the agency, which adjusted revenue projections upward by $11,000 and reduced spending in some areas to account for increased expenses in others. Wiktor noted that â&#x20AC;&#x153;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve kept revenues above expenses,â&#x20AC;? and he expects to stay on target through the end of the budget year. Wiktor also summarized for the board a number of new state initiatives designed to improve the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to attract new businesses. This
included a new program called â&#x20AC;&#x153;START-UP NY,â&#x20AC;? recently announced by Governor Cuomo, that is intended to foster â&#x20AC;&#x153;entrepreneurialism and job creation on a largescaleâ&#x20AC;? by creating tax-free communities in areas with qualifying state colleges and universities. CCIDA and other economic development and higher education officials in the county are looking at how Jamestown Community College (JCC) might fit into the program. Wiktor pointed out that, under the program, any new business would have to be located within one mile of JCC, so even finding property within those parameters might be a challenge. The next meeting of the CCIDA Board of Directors will take place at the CCIDA building in Ellicottville on Sept. 17 at 11:15 a.m.

Unique Youth Programs Offered at Griffis Hill Gardens
Griffis Hill Gardens Executive Director Carley Hill conducts a kite making workshop for a group of local children By Alicia Dziak
Griffis Hill Gardens is a place where nature, education and creativity collide. This formerly undeveloped section of Griffis Sculpture Park has become a place for kids to artistically express themselves, thanks to the hard work and dedication of Founder/ Executive Director Carley Hill, and Administrative Director Thomas Vannatter, who have developed a unique lineup of workshops for youth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted our workshops to be different, and to continue to represent the intersection of art and nature,â&#x20AC;? said Vannatter. Fly a Kite, offered the third Saturday of every month, teaches participants how to build various types of kites from ordinary materials. Students create their own colorful fabric kite, and are encouraged to take their time painting it to suit their individual tastes. While the paint dries, they can play in and around the nearby sculptures, then return to fly their kite in the field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really liked being able to make a kite with my own design,â&#x20AC;? said Haylee Cerrone, 10, of Springville, who recently attended the kite making workshop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also thought the instructors were really helpful and nice.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kite making workshop was a unique activity in a beautiful location,â&#x20AC;? said Zachary Cudney, 14, of Springville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a fun experience. I learned how to actually make a kite,â&#x20AC;? added Zacharyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, Nathan, age 10. Cross-Country Orienteering is a competitive treasure hunt
event that will be offered in the fall. Participants, as part of a small team, will use a compass to navigate the park and identify specific points of interest on a map, and the first team to return with a token from each point wins a prize. Youth Painting Workshops for children ages seven and up teach students the basics of outdoor painting. Moss Magic teaches youth about the forest floor through hands-on experiences, helping to expand the beds of moss carpeting. During this workshop, children will learn all about the power of mud and the growth it supports. In addition, a story hour is offered free of charge every second Sunday at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Storytelling takes place in the newly developed Sacred Grove outdoor classroom. To get there, follow the driveway from the Mill Road parking lot, up the hill and past the house. Follow the signs, and the classroom will be on your left. Other inexpensive activities include numerous movie screenings, held at dusk throughout the summer at the main stage for only $2 admission. Bring a blanket and some snacks, snuggle up with the kids under the stars, and enjoy some classics on the big screen. Upcoming movies
include â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Adventures of Prince Achmedâ&#x20AC;? on July 27, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fantastic Mr. Foxâ&#x20AC;? on August 17. Besides the variety of youth workshops currently listed on the Griffis Hill Gardens website, new programs are continually being developed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each season weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be offering different types of workshops that are relevant to the season and have an environmental focus,â&#x20AC;? Hill explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For instance, in winter, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be offering snow sculpture and snowshoeing.â&#x20AC;? Although many workshops are scheduled on specific days, the Griffis staff is more than willing to accommodate private groups. Scout outings, birthday parties, or any kind of get-togethers are perfect opportunities to learn something new while taking in the wonderful surroundings of Griffis Hill Gardens and Griffis Sculpture Park. Private workshops can be scheduled by contacting griffishillgardens@ gmail.com. Workshops can also be combined with cabin rentals to create a one-of-a-kind experience for children and their families. With so many ways to let kids unleash their inner creative self, why not take advantage of these refreshingly fun workshops, led by very friendly and knowledgeable instructors, all just minutes from Ellicottville and Springville. Combine it with a hike through the Sculpture Park and you can make a day of it! For more information, or to register for any of the workshops, visit www. griffishillgardens.wix.com/ griffishillgardens or email griffishillgardens@gmail.com.

From the Bookshelf Recommended Reading from the Ellicottville Memorial Library
“The Guns at Last Light” by Rick Atkinson The magnificent conclusion to Rick A Atkinson’s acclaimed Liberation Trilogy about th Allied triumph in Europe during World War the II It is the twentieth century’s unrivaled epic: a a staggering price, the United States and its at allies liberated Europe and vanquished Hitler. In the first two volumes of his bestselling Liberation Trilogy, Rick Atkinson recounted how the American-led coalition fought through North Africa and Italy to the threshold of victory. Now, in The Guns at Last Light, he tells the most dramatic story of all—the titanic battle for Western Europe. D-Day marked the commencement of the final campaign of the European war, and Atkinson’s riveting account of that bold gamble sets the pace for the masterly narrative that follows. The brutal fight in Normandy, the liberation of Paris, the disaster that was Operation Market Garden, the horrific Battle of the Bulge, and finally the thrust to the heart of the Third Reich—all these historic events and more come alive with a wealth of new material and a mesmerizing cast of characters. Atkinson tells the tale from the perspective of participants at every level, from presidents and generals to war-weary lieutenants and terrified teenage riflemen. When Germany at last surrenders, we understand anew both the devastating cost of this global conflagration and the enormous effort required to win the Allied victory. With the stirring final volume of this monumental trilogy, Atkinson’s accomplishment is manifest. He has produced the definitive chronicle of the war that unshackled a continent and preserved freedom in the West. This book can be borrowed from the Ellicottville Memorial Library in book format only. It is also available in large print using our interlibrary loan program.

Demo Derby Continued from Front Page
participate and all those who witness them. Jim, who used to drive a truck and now owns a small dealership, said drivers must behave and follow laws throughout their lives. Once they drive onto the dirt track and are given permission to smash other cars, they do so with joyful abandon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They tell you to keep running into other cars and you just do it,â&#x20AC;? Jim said, laughing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was always a good time.â&#x20AC;? Kristina Charlesworth, treasurer for the fair board, said the demos attract all kinds of people for a variety of reasons. Fairs across the country, she said, wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the same without them. The fair runs July 29 â&#x20AC;&#x201C;
Aug. 4. At 171 years old, the fair offers 21 rides, food and live acts at affordable prices. Traditional acts return, but there are new offerings as well, including chainsaw carving and a horse act. Live performances include the return of the Fox Brothers, a Christian country comedy group that people have been asking to see again since they stopped attending the fair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People love the group,â&#x20AC;? Charlesworth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re glad to have them back.â&#x20AC;? Grandstand shows and rides are included in the regular admission price ($9) the first two days of the fair. Additional charges for rides and entertainment are applied for the remaining days of the fair,
including a concert featuring Justin Moore on Aug. 1. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the demo derby, which opens the first official day and concludes the final day, which attracts the most people. Jim, who stopped participating in demos about eight years ago following a bad racing car accident, said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be there to cheer on his son. Fires and rollovers are what Jim feared most while driving in demos, and the likelihood of that happening is great when taking a vehicle and ramming it into another vehicle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got banged up and bruised through the years,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing major, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still enough to make most people not want to do it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m
66-years old and I just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that kind of thing anymore.â&#x20AC;? While spectators still crowd arenas all over the country, Jim said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting harder and harder to participate in demos because of the cost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Back years ago you could get a junker for $15, but a junker now costs $500,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of money to just throw away.â&#x20AC;? Luckily, Jim has a small dealership that supplies his beaters, and he helps other local drivers secure vehicles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do what I can to make demos still go,â&#x20AC;? he said.
