Experience Ellicottville’s Exciting Changes! Ellicottville is a hub of activity these days. Holiday Valley’s new chalet construction project is well underway and changing shape every week. It’s worth a quick drive by to check out the progress. It will leave you wishing it was already December. Holiday Valley is also hosting the Ultra Trail Run this weekend. This endurance event will challenge even the most fit as they navigate the 12mile or optional 4-mile course. The IBO tournament was hosted by Holiday Valley last year but is taking place in Seven Springs, N.Y., this year with several local archers participating. Holiday Valley hopes to bring the event back to Ellicottville in a few years.
The Centurion, a Tour de Francestyle road cycling event, hits Ellicottville Aug. 17-19 and will be held annually for five years. Centurion cycling events are held all over the country. Look for expert cyclists, recreational riders and even kids enjoying a fun weekend of racing and activities. Even if you’re not a rider, it’s a great way for the entire family to experience the athletic side of Ellicottville. Stay for the weekend and explore all the area has to offer including swimming, golf, mountain coaster, mountain biking, hiking, aerial park challenges, horseback riding and more. Wander the village sidewalks and experience the exciting changes as businesses have relocated to interesting spaces. The area’s rich arts and culture opportunities, energetic nightlife and varied culinary scene will compel you to book a longer stay.
Holiday Valley’s new chalet construction project is well underway and changing shape every week. Several activities are centered in and around Holiday Valley in the next few weeks, including the Ultra Trail Run this weekend, A Taste of Ellicottville Aug. 11-12, the 14th annual Barn Restaurant Golf Outing at the Double Black Diamond Golf Course on Aug. 15, and the Centurion cycling event Aug. 17-19.

Village of Ellicottville and St. John’s Episcopal Church Celebrate 175 Years
by Mary Fox
This Saturday, Aug. 4, the Ellicottville Historical Society and St. John’s Episcopal Church are celebrating their 175th birthdays with an old-fashioned family day of tours, food, music, games and a special church service. “There will be lots of fun events for everybody,” said Judy Brown, chairperson of the event. The celebration begins at 11:30 a.m. with tours of St. John’s Episcopal Church (with the opportunity to ring the bell) and the Ellicottville Historical Museum. Both will be open until 2:30 p.m. Hot dogs and beverages will be sold during this time by the Ellicottville Rotary Club and lawn games will be held in front of the Episcopal Church.
From 1-3 p.m., a musical duo with singer Mandy Hintz and Dave Robbins on acoustic guitar will play at the gazebo. At 3 p.m., a birthday cake and cupcakes donated by the Historical Society and DJ’s Restaurant will be served. Ellicottville’s Town Supervisor John Burrell and Village Mayor Charlie Coolidge will make brief remarks noting this special occasion. Following the cake cutting, Family Bingo will be held in front of the gazebo from 3-5 p.m. Great prizes have been generously donated by dozens of Ellicottville businesses. You don’t want to miss this opportunity to walk home with a gift or gift certificate from one of our special stores or restaurants. Fr. Michael Lonto will hold a special 1800s worship service at 5 p.m. at St. John’s Episcopal Church including the 1869 Prayer Book, the 1850s organ and singing of old hymns. Everyone is welcome. “St. John’s church has meant a lot to many people in Ellicottville,” said Sue Parsons, who will be one of the tour guides at St. John’s. “When we came here with our children in 1976, the church welcomed us, not as strangers but like friends and relatives.” And that is the impression Ellicottville has given to visitors to our friendly little town since 1837.

Local Archers Take Aim at IBO World Championships
COLE
From the pros to those in the youth classes, males and females of all ages and ability levels will soon take aim at the 2012 International Bowhunters Organization World Championship and Archery Festival. On four occasions, including last year, the IBO World Championship and Archery Festival has been held at
Holiday Valley Resort in Ellicottville. The change in venue this year to Seven Springs Mountain Resort, according to Jane Eshbaugh, director of marketing for Holiday Valley, is because with so many people participating in the event, it needs to be held in other locations to be more accessible for people in various parts of the country.
Several local archers will travel to IBO World Championships and Archery Festival Aug 8-11, with hopes of the event returning to Holiday Valley in the next couple of years.
“The people in Buffalo loved it when it was at Holiday Valley, but now it’s going to take place at Seven Springs for at least two years, so it’s closer to Pittsburgh and West Virginia. They (the IBO) travel around.We are hoping that they will come back hopefully in the next couple of years,” she said. On Aug. 8-11 competitors will arrive from states across the country and nations around the world. The events will include bowhunter defense ranges, an Easton Eagle Eye championship and bowhunter opens among others. A trophy shoot will be held from 8 a.m.4 p.m. Aug. 10 and 11, and trophies will be awarded in each category. A Kids’ Camp will keep children of walking age through age 5 busy at games, crafts and more, while parents partake in the event. Even though the event is farther away this year, the drive isn’t enough to deter some archers from participating, however. Craig Acklin of Jamestown, who competed in Ellicottville last year, will also compete in the men’s senior release Aug. 9 and Aug. 10. He said with people from all over the country See IBO Championship Page 7

Local Cattaraugus artist Dawn Lombardi will be showcasing her artwork this Saturday, Aug. 4, at Murphy’s Gourmet & Wine Shop. Julie Murphy, owner of the shop, has known Dawn “for a very, very long time,� and as friends and fellow businesswomen in Cattaraugus, decided this would be a creative pairing. “Who doesn’t love a little wine and a little art?� joked both women. “This gives people a chance to get to know what kinds of gourmet foods and local New York wines are carried in the store, and a chance to view Dawn’s artwork at the same time, in a casual and relaxed

Ellicottville Times Past Keeping the Past Present Bowen Family Gathers for 100th Reunion
the association, which has consumed every summer with projects to renovate the house to its original dwelling. She and her husband, a former public school principal with enviable handyman talents, have done an amazing amount of the work themselves. Walking into the house gives one the feeling of entering another era. Well-preserved furnishings fill the house with wood-burning cooking stove, water pump at the sink, drywell in the little pantry, slanting wood floors, three dining room tables, period furniture and portraits of GWG, his wives, aunts, uncles and cousins staring down with stern eyes, which have frightened more than one Bowen descendent, to the point of having to cover them up. Tiny by today’s standards, it is hard to imagine raising 12 children here with the small kitchen/dining room, two downstairs bedrooms, parlors and one dorm above for the girls and one for the boys. Harry continues to work on the old homestead, but the house has become a summer retreat not only for the Knodts, but also for family and friends who love to visit and bask in the feeling of life in another era.

My war with Procyon Lotor By William Thomas It began innocently enough, a board across the bottom of my shed with bite marks on one corner had been ripped off. Inside the shed, garbage everywhere. Two nights later at 3:30 in the morning, I awoke to noise in the kitchen and flipped on the lights in time to spot the ample ass of a raccoon scurrying out the screen door. The garbage had been ripped open, banana peels tossed to the floor, pawprints on the counter and tomatoes had been punctured but not eaten. Omnivorous except for tomatoes. That ballsy little son-of-a-coon. I may not have latched it but I know I hadn’t left the door open. So that night I make sure the screen door is hooked and the next morning he’s been into the kitchen again and left a mess of peels, garbage and wet paw prints on the counter. The new bananas have been eaten, the new tomatoes punctured and the latch broken. I want to drown this chubby little varmint in a vat of ketchup. So the next night, Friday, I go over to the golf course for a fish fry with my buddy Wheats and when we come back we sit out by the lake bruising a bottle of Balvenie and solving the world’s problems. But not all of them because that would require our meeting to last past dawn and into breakfast and we don’t do that anymore. I tell him the story of the ring-tailed, break and enter artist and he finds it funny. He does not believe me when I tell him I am going to kill procyon lotor because now’s it personal. Tonight I’m going to remove the screen door, then seal and lock the whole house up. At 11:30 Wheats says he’s going home and as I walk him up to the house we see the fat grey back end of a raccoon scurrying out of the kitchen screen door which is … wide
open. Now as we stand by the door, Wheats with a walking stick in hand and me with a baseball bat, one of us finds all this highly comical while the other goes into roadkill rage. That thieving little bugger broke into my house yet again with two of us sitting fifty feet away! Oh, and he also ate my haddock and chips leftovers which I thought was a nice touch. I’ve had it. I remove the screen door, lock the place up and go to bed. And of course I sleep badly because I’m sweating in an airless oven of a room all night. In the morning as I’m cleaning up the kitchen I notice blood on the floor. Mine. The raccoon besides ransacking the kitchen has broken an expensive Scotch glass and I have cut my bare right foot. Now I’m tracking blood behind me as I try to mop up. Not only will I kill Rocky – no, not the one who lived somewhere in the black mountain hills of Dakota, the Beatles young boy named Rocky Raccoon. Not him. No I’ve named him Rocky after Rocky Balboa the boxer who beat people up for a living because frankly I am afraid of this guy. I think if he fails to break into my house again, he’ll probably steal my car. So not only will I kill this banana-loving tomato-hating, nocturnal mammal with the burglar mask, I am going to have him stuffed by a taxidermist and mounted over my fireplace. Inscription: “His name was Rocky and he called himself Cocky but everyone knew him as Evil.” So that night, I sleep badly again in a sweat box but stay ever alert for the noise of a trap springing in front of my kitchen door because I have two of them baited and set. At two in the morning I hear something and rush out to discover that although both
traps are still set, the pieces of barbecued chicken are gone. I put more chicken in the traps and go back to bed. In the morning, the bait is gone and the traps again have not sprung. Rocky – and the movie will be a sequel to Catch Me If You Can – got in and out of two cages twice without tripping the trap. I will not only kill this animal, I will mount his stuffed body on my wall and I will toast his demise with a smash of Scotch from an expensive glass, the one he did not break. Yet. So I set the traps again that night by sewing the pieces of chicken into the steel rods at the back of the cages so that if he succeeds in stripping the bait yet again … he’ll need scissors. At about five in the morning I hear metal clash and I race outside and well … guess who? Rocky didn’t look all that menacing with his furry little frame jammed into a cage barely bigger than himself. I said: “Rocky you’ve met your match.” He said: “Bill, I’m sorry about the latch.” I said: “Rocky you’ll be dead, real dead as soon as I am able.” Rocky was wrong to stalk me but Wheats was right to doubt me. I couldn’t kill that crafty little bastard; in fact, when it was all over I begrudgingly admired his audacity and work ethic. Rocky has been relocated to a wooded area on the outskirts of Niagara Falls. I’ll give him a few days and then Google ‘Niagara Falls home invasions.’ See how the little fella’s doin’.

Fireworks, Art and Summer Fun Heat Up for a Family Good Time By Eva Potter Even though summer is winding down and back-toschool shopping ads compete for attention, it’s not too late to schedule a little more summertime fun at events sponsored by the Cattaraugus County Arts Council. This past weekend marked another successful Art in the Park event, held in conjunction with the Taste of Olean at the Jamestown Community College campus in Olean. For the first time, artists were interspersed along the sidewalk with food vendors, which “made for an integrated, positive, fun, family atmosphere,” according to Anne Conroy-Baiter, executive director of CCAC. “We had a really neat mixture of everything from emerging to established artists selling everything from handmade wooden frames that were absolutely gorgeous to beautiful jewelry to the amazing painterly techniques of Jennifer Miller, who got Best of Show,” she said. Tom Martin was awarded Juror’s Choice First Place while Patricia Eckstrom received
Juror’s Choice Second Place. The show was juried by fine artist Thomas Paquette. On Aug. 10, families can look forward to a magical summer evening at Allegany State Park’s Red House Beach Area as CCAC teams up with the park for their 5th Annual Beach Party. The event starts at 6 p.m. and is completely free. The park’s Artist in Residence and veteran acoustic guitarist Jamie Haight will perform familiar music, followed by the musical stylings of Olean’s Blues Brothers and Generations. Conroy-Baiter said, “It’s one of the most family-friendly, relaxing nights of the year. Families come, they spread out a picnic, they put chairs out. You can get dinner right from the concession stand, which will stay open for the event. It’s
a great place to sit back and let the kids run around in a safe environment.” Also, there will be kids’ crafts, face painting, a limbo contest, a lifeguard competition, juggling by Gravitational Bull and a fireworks display at dusk sponsored by the Zippo Manufacturing Company of Bradford. “We are the lucky beneficiaries of the park’s 4th of July fireworks show that was rained out, so we’re going to have a spectacular ending to the event,” said Conroy-Baiter. For more information, contact Cassie Wright at (716) 354-9101 ext. 236, the Cattaraugus County Arts Council at (716) 372-7455. Are your kids still complaining of boredom? It’s not too late to sign them up for some creative fun at CCAC’s art classes. Openings are still available for the Aug. 9 and Aug. 14 Ceramic Series, Aug. 6-7 Matisse Class, Aug. 14 Still Life, Aug. 15 Beads and Buttons, and Aug. 17 Abstract Painting.

Hutten of East Otto to Run NYC Marathon as Fundraiser for Literacy
Mike Hutten running in Oak Tree Half Marathon in Geneseo, N.Y., which he will run again on Sept. 2, just one month before the NYC Marathon By Eva Potter
When Mike Hutten of East Otto realized his 65th birthday was coming up in February 2013, he knew he wanted to celebrate in a special way. An avid runner since the age of 42, Hutten said, “The NYC Marathon has always attracted me because I have a daughter who lives right in Manhattan.” Then, why not celebrate with a 26.2-mile run in New York City? “I usually like to have a goal to achieve with my running each year, and since my 65th birthday is coming up, I guess I wanted this year’s goal to be something really
special. In a way, it’s an attempt to combat the feeling of getting older,” he said. As a registered emergency room nurse, Hutten understands the health benefits of exercise and took up running to control his high blood pressure. Hutten said, “There were people at the hospital where I work who were interested in running and so it became a social thing as well as an individual experience.” His daughter, who was on her high school track team, also inspired Hutten. In 1997, the father-daughter team ran their first marathon
in Burlington, Vt. Since then, Hutten has run six marathons in various parts of the country. The New York City Marathon is one of the largest and most popular marathons in the world. Runners can only gain entry through their lottery, guaranteed entry or their charity program. When Hutten learned he could get a definite spot as a fundraiser for EVERYBODY WINS!, he jumped at the chance. The Everybody Wins! mentoring program promotes success in school and life for schoolchildren through one-on-one reading experiences with caring adults or older students. “To me, it is an essential skill to read and comprehend what people are writing about,” said Hutten, who knew this program was a great match for him. To prepare for this grueling race, Hutten trains when he isn’t working 12-hour shifts at the hospital. “My base run is five miles, usually done near my home, and I add in longer runs of 8 or 11 or 17 miles as I get closer to marathon day,” he said. As of Aug. 3, Hutten raised $770 toward his goal of $2,500, which he attributes to the “incredible generosity of my family, friends, co-workers and acquaintances.” He is working with Hog-Shed Studio Pottery, owned with his wife Elliott, to develop an incentive plan to reward donors.

Thank You for Suggesting Trail Concept I read the article in the Ellicottville Times about the recreational trail concept and I absolutely love the idea. I love riding my bike and the idea of having a “safe” trail to go to is wonderful. I use the bike path on Route 219 (I live in Great Valley) and I find it is a very nice path, but upon entering the Village of Ellicottville it stops, which means we have to ride the road. We find it to be very dangerous, as a lot of the cars do NOT allow us our three feet that we are entitled to. So, yes, Ken Hinman, thanks to you for suggesting this idea at the Ellicottville Town Board meeting. I noticed the article also went on to read “with Ellicottville’s strong focus on fitness and healthy living,” which brought to my mind this question, “How about a brand new BIG fitness center?” Perhaps where the old Signore building once stood would be an ideal location. A pool, sauna, classes, inside walk or run track … how does that sound? Gail (Reed) Archer Great Valley, N.Y.

and different nations travelling to the event, he understands organizers â&#x20AC;&#x153;trying to make the travel fair for everybody.â&#x20AC;? Though he admitted that having a short drive to Ellicottville would have been more convenient for him, he gave a number of reasons for making the trip to Seven Springs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of fun. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of good camaraderie and great competition. I just enjoy the shooting,â&#x20AC;? he said. Acklinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friend and fellow archer Jim Livak of Dewittville said that having the event in Seven Springs just means that he has to â&#x20AC;&#x153;travel a little bit fartherâ&#x20AC;? and added that he
thinks the Seven Springs Area â&#x20AC;&#x153;is going to be a nice venue to shoot in.â&#x20AC;? Livak, who also competed in Ellicottville last year, will be in the open class in his second year in the event and said that he is looking forward to it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of really good shooters in that class and I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be some really good competition,â&#x20AC;? he said. Augeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Archery owner and Town of Ellicottville Chief of Police Don Auge said he â&#x20AC;&#x153;wished it was in Ellicottville.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got some business out of it when it was in town here and I think that it really boosted the
economy in Ellicottville, and hopefully weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get it back in a few years,â&#x20AC;? he said. Though participants do not need to be IBO members, they must qualify to shoot in the championships. The cost to enter is $40 per adult and $25 per youth. All registration postmarked after July 23 will result in a $10 late registration fee. A special lodging rate will also be available to IBO members and information is available by calling (866) 4371300. For a complete schedule of events and more information, visit www.ibo.net.

Master aster Your Garden
By Barbara Kozlowski, Master Gardener What a summer we have had so far â&#x20AC;&#x201C; hot, dry, and minimal rain. This type of weather has certainly raised havoc with our gardens. Except for a few new plantings and my vegetable garden , most of my yard has had to rely on Mother Nature to take care of it. Many of my flowering perennials have bloomed, but the flowers were short lived due to the lack of sufficient rainfall. Most of them are draught resistant and perhaps next season will be a little more normal in the rainfall department. Watering container planting is a no-brainer and these plantings should be checked daily. A good soaking in the early morning is usually sufficient for a short time, but I advise checking these containers daily for moisture content. Some potted plants require almost daily watering during the hot, dry weather. Petunias are exceptional water consumers and will sometimes need water twice a day. If this does occur, repotting may be the answer. Moving plants to larger containers with additional moisture-retaining potting soil will help to keep your flowers
WNYMBA Spearheads Mountain Bike Trail Building in Allegany State Park Love riding the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s network of mountain bike trails? Then thank the Western New York Mountain Biking Association (WNYMBA) for its contribution toward building almost 40 miles of trails in the Ellicottville area, not to mention many more in other areas of Western New York like Golden Hill, Sprague Brook Park and Hunters Creek Park, and soon in Allegany State Park. WNYMBA, founded in 1992, has continuously worked with landowners,
volunteers and experts to build safe mountain biking trails and advocate for mountain biking education. The clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s members have volunteered countless hours to build and maintain these trails, open to the public for multi-recreational use. WNYMBA is affiliated with the International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA), which shares a similar mission. Â Since 2007, WNYMBA has provided input for Allegany State Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
Master Plan and has advocated for the building of new mountain bike trails in the park, which will begin in 2013. With these new park trails, combined with an existing network of appealing mountain biking trails, Cattaraugus County and the Ellicottville area hold the potential of becoming major players in the regional mountain biking arena. Find more information about WNYMBA at www. wnymba.org and IMBA at www.imba.com.

Annual Taste of Ellicottville Cont. From Outside Gatefold
may have a favorite restaurant and favorite foods, but with this festival, you really have a chance to expand your horizons with new and interesting flavors. The Taste of Ellicottville will feature 18 of Ellicottville’s finest establishments set up in cafe style in our historic business district. The event runs from noon to 4 p.m. Aug. 11-12. Tickets are $1 each and can be purchased at various ticket booths. Items range in price from $1 to $4 and will feature sample appetizers, entrees, desserts and refreshments. This festival once inspired a cookbook featuring recipes for many of the dishes served. Many of those restaurants are no longer or are now under a different name, but the core of those establishments still exists and continues to serve the fare you have come to know and love. Event coordinator Laurie Barrett, owner of the Birdwalk Restaurant, said she is looking forward to this year’s Taste of Ellicottville. There are many new sample dishes being offered and she wants to try them all. See the 2012 Taste of Ellicottville menu to set your mouth watering in anticipation of this event. Bon appetit!
