Americana Folk Art Festival This Weekend
by Sue Whistler
The Americana Folk Art Festival will be held at the village gazebo on Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 25-26 and will feature the work of several local artists, live music and a quilt show on the lawn of St. John’s Episcopal Church. The fun starts both days at 10 a.m. and goes until about 4 p.m. with live music from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday features the band Weekly Notice with Fred Joseph and Rod Tucker. Sunday you can hear Wild Oats with Tory and Rob Bedard. The festival winds down with an auction at 2:30 p.m. Sunday afternoon. The festival is organized by Ellicottville’s own Bob McCarthy, local artist and Ellicottville goodwill ambassador. There will be seven folk art cottages on site, each of which will house a different artist and their work. Three of the cottages were built by McCarthy, one by Chris Woodareck, and three by woodcarver Doug Stein, who will also be displaying his handcarved creations at the festival. You will find Ellicottville Times Editor Jennie Acklin weaving wool that has been spun by local horse whisperer Annie Widger in the Weaver’s Cottage. Huey Dunne will display pieces from his Art of the Forest collection. Huey creates his unique, handcrafted furniture from organic artifacts, which he scavenges from the local landscape. Other featured artists include woodcrafter Emily Arena, water colorist Pat Kerl, birdhouse fabricator Lisa Hitchcock, as well as jewelry by Urania Shaklee, owner of the Purple Doorknob. Perhaps the best part of the Americana Folk Art Festival is the active participation of some very talented and civicminded local young people.

Volunteers and Cyclists Make Centurion an Ellicottville Success by Jeff Cole
After three days of cycling, Centurion Ellicottville crossed the finish line a winner this past Sunday, thanks to hundreds of cyclists and volunteers who made that happen. The two-day festival took place Saturday and Sunday and included a C25, a C50, a C100 and a ride with Hockey Hall of Famer Pat LaFontaine. This year was the first of five consecutive years the event will be held in Ellicottville.
Competitive Skiing Approved for WNY Section Six Schools ECS Pursuing a Team – Coach to be Named
by Jennie Acklin
In an interview with ECS Athletic Director Karl Schwartz on Monday afternoon, he talked about the recent announcement of the Section 6 approval of a competitive skiing program for all WNY
schools. “I am delighted that this is happening under my watch,” said Schwartz. Ellicottville Central School is pursuing the necessary steps in putting together a team. Miguel Azcarate, racing coach
for Holiday Valley, has been working diligently for several years to bring racing to the school level. Although no coach for the school team has been named as yet, it is an exciting accomplishment for everyone involved. Finally students can receive the recognition they deserve from the school and their community for all of their hard work on the slopes. And the possibility of athletic scholarships is an important part of this program. All other school sections in New York have a school level race team, and now WNY can finally join the list.
According to event organizers, the Centurion featured about 650 entries, about 85 percent of whom came to Ellicottville for the first time. Many cyclists said that they would be interested in returning to Ellicottville, not just to race, but simply to visit. A number of cyclists also posted positive comments on the Centurion’s Facebook page. Charlie Dias wrote, “Thank YOU Centurion for coming here. PLEASE do so again next year ... and maybe
bring some more events into Buffalo/Niagara area. Your organization is top notch, and I would ride with you any day!” Henry Lo wrote, “Talking to a few locals, they were all excited about this event. These people actually want us to be there. So refreshingly different from all the complaining in some big city events I participated in the past.” Cyclists also noted that the course was more challenging than the other Centurion venues,
due to a more hilly terrain, though they mentioned this was something they enjoyed. Krista Flanagan, marketing/media relations contact for the Centurion, said that her organization was hoping for more cyclists, but noted that in other towns that have hosted the Centurion, participation has grown to about 4,0005,000 cyclists during the third of fourth year that a town has hosted See Centurion page 9
Holimont Marks a Half-Century of Skiing
BY
JEFF COLE
The new chairlift currently being installed in honor of HoliMont’s upcoming 50th anniversary exemplifies one of many changes for the ski area as its monumental winter season approaches. This winter season will mark a half-century of business for HoliMont and in honor of the historic
occasion, the ski area has been working all summer on installing its first high-speed detachable quad chairlift. The addition will replace the old Exhibition chairlift and will be dubbed “The Exhibition Express,” according to Dash Hegeman, marketing director for Holimont. “This upgrade was one
that the majority of the HoliMont membership wanted to see happen and the membership is looking forward to experiencing the final product. With the upgrade of this lift, members and guests will be able to get to the top and disperse throughout the mountain faster than ever, which ultimately will allow for more runs to be made and more fun to be had,” he said. Hegeman said the price tag for the new chairlift was approximately $3.6 million and that HoliMont hopes to have the lift ready to use by the start of the Ellicottville Fall Festival. In addition, the ski area is spending slightly more than $700,000 on other infrastructure this year. Dave Riley, general manager of HoliMont, said See Holimont page 2

Doris Peyser
An Ellicottville Enthusiast Doris Peyser was born March 21, 1920, in New York City, NY, the daughter of Carl and Charlotte (Pfeiffer) Beecher. She married Jesse Peyser, who worked for the May Company as a cosmetics buyer. In 1950, he was transferred to Cleveland OH, so off to Ohio they went. Doris was a first grade teacher for 30 years in Pepper Pike, OH, on the east side of Cleveland. She and Jesse were very active in the local theatre, orchestra and many social activities, including the Elyssium Skating Club in Cleveland. That is where Doris was first introduced to skiing in 1958. Doris went on a ski trip with several friends from the Skating Club to Aspen CO. After returning home from Aspen, that same winter she decided to look into coming to Ellicottville and skiing at the brand new Holiday Valley ski resort. For two years Doris and Jesse and family rented rooms at the the Holiday Valley Motel – sometimes coming just herself with the kids to ski. In the summer of 1960, they put an ad in the Ellicottville Post for a room for rent, and received a letter from Mrs. Meineke, $75 for the winter months, and $35 for the summer months. They rented initially, and ended up buying that same house, 67 Elizabeth Street, in 1962, spending as much time here as possible. (Next door to John Burrell's grandmother's home originally.) While living in Cleveland, the Peysers' were very involved with the Cleveland Ski Fair, which funded the US Ski Team at that time. Doris was the Cleveland Ski Queen in 1964. After Doris' husband passed away, she continued teaching for a few more years until

Doris' favorite run at Holiday Valley was Independence. Her family called her a “cautious expert”. She, like many moms, spent a lot of time getting the family taken care of before, during and after skiing, so she didn't always have a lot of time for herself on the slopes.

investing is key to being a successful business. “We firmly believe that if you’re not investing in your business, and it doesn’t matter what the business is, you’re getting behind and we want to be one of the successful ski areas, we want to provide the best service and the best snow and the best experience, so this is all just part of that plan. We’re going to continue to invest and upgrade the facility,” he said. Generating revenue in order to upgrade the resort’s infrastructure is just one of the goals of HoliMont’s upcoming $22 million multiyear expansion project, in which 31 lots ranging from a third-of-an-acre to half-anacre in size will be auctioned off, starting in October. “All of this real estate is excellent ski-in and ski-out (terrain) and we are going to build a new chalet over in the Sunset area, open up a new ski slope in the Sunset area, put in a new detachable in the Sunset area, relocate the beginner area into the Sunset area and a whole lot of other upgrades. This is a big project for us,” said Riley, who mentioned providing good ski-in and ski-out terrain to people as the other reason for the project. Riley said HoliMont is basically developing property located west of the resort that individuals can purchase “to build their chalet or house on or whatever they want.” Sales of these lots will determine when the infrastructural changes, such as construction of the new chalet and the opening of a new ski slope, will happen. “We’re going to be selling lots and using the revenue from the lots to roll back into the infrastructure of the club, but my guess is two or three years down the road you’ll be seeing the infrastructure
parts of it going in,” Riley said. As for more immediate changes, a new pole barn that will be used for storage was completed in July and the three old buildings behind the chalet were replaced with a new, 1,000-square-foot building that will be used for storing chairs and sheaves from the old Exhibition lift, as well as winter and summer equipment, such as snowmobiles and fourwheelers. Two more Snow Machines, Inc. (SMI) Super PoleCat land guns will allow HoliMont to manufacture snow quicker for its members and guests. “We already use a number of SMI land guns so these will just be added to the fleet,” Hegeman said. “We presently have about 140 guns to make snow. These new guns are a portable ‘land gun,’ in that they are on a carriage, not a tower so there is no installation. We have 19 of this type already and the new ones will increase that type of snowmakers’ capacity. We generally use the portable guns for the Terrain Park, the half pipe, the boarder cross and air site. They will be placed wherever they are needed but will help get those areas open sooner.” Last year, HoliMont came out with a new terrain park feature, a three-dimensional
stegosaurus box ride, and this year it will unveil another new feature on the Half Moon slope. “This is a surprise. It will not have a prehistoric them. That’s all the information we can divulge at this time,” Hegeman said. HoliMont is also spending almost $30,000 in capital to support its adaptive ski program, which helps to get both children and adults with various handicaps out on the slopes and enjoying snow sports. The money will go to an assortment of projects that will help to better serve the program, including the addition of a wheelchair lift outside the ski school building, which will become even more handicapaccessible as a result. Hegeman said that HoliMont is really looking forward to a strong 50th anniversary season. Last season’s weather, he said, was not ideal in terms of putting together a long and fun ski season, thought HoliMont members and guests were very positive about the product that was put out on the hill. “With a little help from Mother Nature, we are hoping to be able to build on that positive vibe and provide everyone with pristine corduroy, a fun terrain park, and an overall on-hill experience that is second to none,” he said.

Being Deaf Is A Different Culture This past Sunday, St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Ellicottville, was host to seven deaf people, most of whom were experiencing their first signed worship service.“Don’t call me deaf and dumb. Don’t call me handicapped,” said Ed Wright. “Never tell anybody you feel sorry for us. We are not handicapped or hearing impaired. Deaf is the only name to call us by.” Sandra Leach from Westfield said, “The church I go to doesn’t have an interpreter and this is so much better.” “I really enjoyed the church service and I want to thank Kathy Schuster, Ken’s wife, for asking us to come here and the pastor (Wm. L. Kay) for his nice service,” said Lois Andrews from Olean. “I don’t like the word handicap,” said Bob Teall from Wellsville. “I really prefer people to see deaf people as a culture that’s equal with the hearing culture. It’s just a different
way of communicating, that’s all. I know you can’t sign and I can’t talk. A lot of hearing people force me to read their lips. I would like to force them to read my hand.” An estimated three out of 3,000 people worldwide are deaf. Most of them do not have the opportunity to speak through an interpreter. “The deaf are all over but they hide and sometimes they don’t all have video phones or email or aren’t going to read English. If you advertise (in newspapers) someone might see it and tell them,” said Bob Austin. “Many people will say that deaf people are dumb, mentally retarded or something. Have you heard the term ‘deaf and dumb’? Like deaf and mentally retarded. That’s what my parents thought. That if I didn’t respond to them when they talked to me there was something wrong in my brain. I grew up like that and people thought that is what was
going on with me.” Teall would like to see an event that deaf people could attend that would enable them to form fellowships with and get to know hearing people. Pam Duttweiler, an interpreter who lives in Angelica, said, “Having a deaf cousin is why I learned sign language. I started learning it when I was 16 years old. I was fascinated with different cultures but don’t really like to travel, so here is a different culture right amongst us. I really enjoyed learning about the differences between hearing culture and deaf culture and the respect you can have for each community.” Duttweiler enjoys teaching an ASL (American Sign Language) class at Genesee Community College in Arcade, where she introduces hearing students to the deaf culture. “At first students will take the class not knowing anything about deaf people thinking, ‘Oh poor deaf people, they’re handicapped, they’re disabled, they’re hearing impaired,’ but deaf people don’t see themselves as hearing impaired or disabled in any way. Being deaf is a different culture and a different language, just as Spanish or any other spoken language,” said Duttweiler. Sandra Leach just wants to thank Schuster. “Thank you so much one last time, thank you so much,” she said.

Motivational speakers. Putting fire to feet. No, really.
holistic-wellness-center.com
naturesremedy@verizon.net
by Mary Fox
www.EllicottvilleTimes.com
I am not a big fan of motivational speakers. They’re kind of like snake oil salespeople with great lines. Lines like “Chase your passion not your pension.” Or “Success is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.” And “If you want to gather honey, don’t kick over the beehive.” (Although The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet’s Nest was extraordinarily successful.) Motivational speakers are selling fresh air to flat tires. A day later, that slow leak is back. A blind man telling his story about climbing Mount Everest is sure to be dramatic and entertaining but a week later, does it help you sell more cars? A quick look at the stock market, your bank balance and those two kids headed for college – now if that doesn’t inspire you to double your production, no words will. Although I don’t believe them to be effective, I do believe motivational speakers to be harmless … until last month. Last month in San Jose, California 21 people participating in Tony Robbin’s motivational walk-on-hotcoals exercise were treated for second and third degree burns. Tony Robbins is a motivational guru who makes – let’s see 6,000 people attended the four-day motivational at a fee of $2,000 per person, that’s six zeros with a 12 out front – an awful lot of money. Last year Tony Robbins made more money that Mitt Romney was able to hide! The fire walk – a motivational metaphor for facing your fears and accomplishing your goals – involves walking barefoot across eight feet of red hot coals. During this particular fire walk, instead of chanting “Yes I can!” people were screaming “Holy Crap!” and hobbling toward a nearby water fountain. Tony’s fire walk exercise was titled “Unleash The Power
By William Thomas Within” and many of them did, by surpassing Usain Bolt’s Olympic record for the 100 metres. As a manager, how many times have you said you need to light a fire under a few of your employees? Well, apparently Tony’s your man. If you want to motivate people to eagerly jump out of bed in the morning you can do no better than have them experience the recurring nightmare of the Tony’s fire walk. “It transformed people’s lives in a single night,” said a real estate agent from Toronto. I’ll say. How many conferences have you returned home from … wearing pillows on your feet? Tony Robbins who makes his living speaking was unavailable for comment. In light of this chaotic turn of events, meeting planners are taking a second look at Tony Robbins’ motivational quotes. “If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.” Blisters!?! “Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach!” In other words, walk the walk but be prepared to run like hell. “Personal power is the ability to take action.” But not legal action, okay? “For changes to be of any value, they’ve got to be lasting and consistent.” As they say, skin will regrow but that video of Mom screaming “Tony! You crazy SOB” will play on YouTube forever. “Determination is the wakeup call to the human will.” And that stretch of burning coals over there is the snooze alarm. Here then are some sure-fire signs you might be attending a bad motivational seminar. •As you stare at the speaker talking about the three P’s “Passion, Purpose and
Preparedness,” you notice his fly is down. •The Olympic wrestler talking about his path to glory and gold looks an awful lot like Barry Bonds. •It’s not until you sit down with the life coach for a one-onone consultation that you notice the scars on his wrists. •You actually do feel more self-confident since the motivational hypnotic session, but every time you pass a KFC you cluck like a chicken. •Following the fire walk exercise, the speaker instructs you to look at the person on your right and then look at the person on your left and … and there’s nobody there. •The “Pushing The Snowball Up Hill” exercise was interrupted by a dozen people with their pants on fire running from a Tony Robbins “Take No Prisoners To The Top” conference. •Two people drown during the “Let’s All Pull Together!” rowing exercise. •The next time you spot Tony Robbins standing beside the path of burning coals talking about mind over matter, he’s got a fire extinguisher slung over his shoulder. •After you helped weave a hemp ladder for the team building exercise, the motivational instructors smoked it. •During the group hug at the end of the “There Are No Limits!” seminar, somebody grabbed your ass. No, sorry but when you have to use your cell phone to call the fire department to come and put out your feet, you’re attending a bad motivational seminar.

Over 300 American Legion riders came through Ellicottville on Tuesday, on their way to the National convention in Inidanapolis, IN. Riders came from all over the US, Germany and France, to ride for the Legacy Scholarships, which was setup for children who lost their parents on or after 911. The Legion’s National Commander, Fang Wong, is riding with the caravan of motorcycles.
Enchanted Mountain Weavers’ Guild Welcomes All Skill Levels
Regina VanScoy demonstrating inkle weaving by Eva Potter
Art is more than putting brush to canvas. It can take many forms including weaving, which provides relaxation, joy and a true sense of accomplishment for all ages. If you’re already a weaver or would like to learn how to weave, consider connecting with the Enchanted Mountain Weavers’ Guild, a group
dedicated to the promotion of weaving and other fiber arts. Men, woman and entire families have gotten into the weave of things, including members who range from 11 to over 90 years of age. Regina VanScoy founded the group in 1991 to help her mother-in-law, an avid weaver, meet new people after
Centurion Cycling • Ellicottville Times photos
she moved in with VanScoy and her husband. At the time, VanScoy wasn’t a weaver but she certainly is now. Beginning with only four members, the group has expanded to over 30 memberships, some of which include families. She said members are beginners to professionals, some of whom are also involved in basketry, braiding, spinning, knitting, crocheting, quilting and even pottery. “We have quite a few men in our guild, which is unusual,” said VanScoy. “Our programs are varied – sometimes handson, sometimes lectures, sometimes videos.” The guild also offers a newsletter, lending library and video library for members. Ellicottville’s Annie Widger has been an EMWG member for about a year. She connected with the guild last year at the Cattaraugus County Fair when the EMWG was set up in the Discovery tent. Widger said she used a drop spindle to experiment all day at last year’s Fiber Day and enrolled
in VanScoy’s spinning class shortly thereafter. Benefits of membership, according to Widger, include education, classes and instruction, field trips, social gatherings and a huge support network of other spinners, weavers, needle workers and otherwise creative men and women. “I recently participated in an indigo dying class taught by Ellen McCarthy and just a week ago, a spinning workshop dealing with spinning worsted fibers,” said Widger. “I cannot even begin to explain the Zen feeling I get from spinning. It is an active meditation with a tangible end product.” Widger, along with several other artists, will be spinning at Ellicottville’s Americana Folk Art Festival on the Gazebo lawn, Aug. 25-26. Jennie Acklin, who uses an unusual Swedish Glimakra loom, will also participate as a weaver in the festival. She said she took a workshop on learning to spin from VanScoy last summer and found that “Regina knows a lot about everything –
weaving, spinning, sewing, etc. She is very inspirational and loves what she does.” VanScoy said, “We cover weaving of all kinds, spinning, felting, baskets. This year we had a fantastic program by an expert on antique woven coverlets. In the summer, we do all-day workshops at Crook Farm historical site. We also do study groups. We’ve done ones on tartan weaving twice where people wove their tartan of choice (usually a family name) and made samples for everyone.” Several members, including VanScoy, also teach weaving and spinning out of their homes. VanScoy said all are welcome to join the guild whether they are a beginner, advanced or just want to learn. Membership dues are $15 for individuals, $20 for families and $1 for full-time students. Please call (716) 9257109 for membership or general information about the guild. Monthly meetings take place March through December at 7 p.m. at Grace Lutheran Church in Bradford, Pa., and new
members are always welcome. July and August meetings include picnics and workshops. Upcoming meeting dates are Sept. 14, Oct. 12, Nov. 9 and Dec. 14, 2012. If you’d like to see some members of the EMWG in action, head over to the 33rd annual Crook Farm Country Fair and Old Time Music Festival this weekend, Aug. 25-26, at 476 Seward Ave. in Bradford, Pa., from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. both days.

Great Valley’s Ellis to Embark on 11-Month Mission
Chelsea Ellis of Great Valley will travel to 11 countires in 11 months, starting in Ecuador in January of 2013.
By Mary Fox Chelsea Ellis, daughter of Cindy Ellis of Great Valley, and granddaughter of Marlene and Emil Hellwig of Ellicottville, will participate in the Adventures in Missions (AIM) World Race program taking her to 11 countries on five continents in 11 months. Ellis said, “God has called me to serve as a missionary through this organization.” Through adventures, ministry,
community and selfdiscovery, World Racers develop broken hearts, which propel their hands to act for God’s kingdom around the globe. A graduate of Houghton College Chelsea will begin studies for her master’s degree in Art Therapy at Nazareth College this fall. Starting January, the college has granted her a year off to pursue this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Many of Ellis’ experiences may be used
to fulfill college credits. She and her group will serve in partnership with churches and ministries in local communities to preach the Gospel, plant churches, work in orphanages and minister to women and children who are trapped in prostitution as a result of human trafficking. They will help build churches and schools, teach English and do street ministry. Since 2006, 200 Racers have participated in the Race every July, September and January. The whole trip costs $15,500, including airfare, land transportation, food and shelter. A training camp will be held in Georgia in October where 150 volunteers ages 21-35 will travel together in groups of seven. Each group is made up of individuals specifically chosen as compatible after taking personality tests and meeting each other. They are allowed one hiking bag and I carry on pack. Each group of seven will start their own ministries. Beginning in Ecuador, Ellis will travel to Peru, Bolivia, Romania, Ukraine, South Africa, Swaziland, Mozambique, Thailand, Malaysia and Cambodia on her 11-month odyssey. If you would like to know more or would like to donate to Ellis’ adventure, her blog site is www.ChelseaElllis. theworldrace.org
By Barbara Kozlowski, Master Gardener a good rainfall as the ground is softened and you don’t disturb what little moisture is in the soil. Drought-resistant perennials have really have been through the test of hardiness, but should stand the test of this drought-like season. On Fridays, fresh produce abounds at our own Ellicottville Farmers’ Market with the appearance of broccoli, cabbage, peppers, green and yellow beans, zucchini and yellow summer squash, and fruits such as blueberries and my favorite stone fruit, peaches. Last year, I froze sliced peaches in several airtight bags, mixed only with Fruit Fresh to keep them from browning. What a delight during the winter months when fresh peaches, if available, have little to no taste, are usually hard, are not locally grown and, I feel, barely edible. I can remember my mother canning peaches and we really enjoyed them during the winter months. If you decide to freeze or can
peaches, or other stone fruit, use only unbruised fruit and follow the guidelines available from Ball at www.FreshPreserving. com or you can find Ball Canning & Recipes on Facebook. Ball has a wealth of information regarding freezing and canning fruits, vegetables, meats, and making jams and jellies. Another website is Penn State’s College of Agriculture Sciences at www.cas.psu.edu. I picked up this info some time ago at Cornell Cooperative Extension. It’s extremely important to follow the proper freezing and canning guidelines to avoid and contamination of the foods you are preparing. If you like to experiment with new tastes, check out www.epicurious.com and look for a recipe for roast pork and plum chutney. The chutney is incredible and is a new favorite of mine. The recipe is too long to include in this column, but try the pork kebabs below. They’re perfect for this time of year.
Pork Kebabs • 1 lb. boneless pork loin cut into cubes • 2 - 3 fresh peaches and/or plums cut into wedges, about 6 pieces per piece of fruit (sprinkle the cut fruit with Fruit Fresh or lemon juice to prevent browning) • Bell peppers cut into 1-inch pieces - red and green • Sweet onions cut into 1-inch pieces • Apricot fruit spread (you can mix a little minced garlic and/or red pepper flakes into the spread, if desired)
Alternating meat, fruit, peppers and onion, thread onto skewers. Brush with apricot spread and grill or cook under a broiler. Spray the grill pan or broiler rack with non-stick spray. Cook turning once, until the pork is no longer pink. Serve with a fresh garden salad and wild rice. If using wooden skewers, soak in water for an hour or so to prevent burning. This recipe can also be used with skinless, boneless chicken or fresh shrimp. I created this recipe years ago and have seen similar versions since. It is easy to make for one or two people or a much larger crowd. Bon appetit!

Thank You Centurions!
It is exciting to see Ellicottville “leading the pack” of community events. Offering new opportunities for others to discover our Village and Town, For locals to come together and take pride in their hometown and surrounding areas. Many of the people here this past weekend were first timers. They were impressed by how the event was organized, what our area has to offer, and how incredibly accommodating our Village and Town can be. The Centurion staff and volunteers greeted them with big smiles, open hearts and positive attitudes. The comments from our visitors were amazing! They will return, not only for future races but to explore our area, visit and support our local businesses, bring their friends and families. All of which is great for Ellicottville›s «Big Picture,» the growth, and quality of life in the place we call “home.” The Centurion event provided local organizations the opportunity to raise funds thru volunteer participation. Those that helped out had a blast and are making plans for next time. All of this supports our small community of «full timers.» What a wonderful weekend, hats off to all! The Centurion staff, the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce, Doug Bush and his local committees. All the law enforcement, EMS, DPW agencies. The volunteers, race participants, spectators and helpful locals. If Ellicottville is fortunate enough to host this event again next year, embrace it! Be part of the big picture, in living color. Participate, volunteer, and welcome our visitors. They may end up becoming a good customer, a new neighbor, a great friend!

Master aster Your Garden
We seem to still be on a “yo-yo” weather pattern and is wreaking havoc with our perennial, annual and vegetable gardens, as well as lawns, trees and shrubs. I’ve noticed an increase in the number of ants scurrying around my deck and along hoses. I have also noticed that the snakes I usually see almost daily are almost nonexistent in my gardens and I have seen only one since early spring – not that I mind their absence, but they are helpful in the garden. Has anyone else experienced similar increases or decreases of wild life in their yards? Let me know via this paper. The recent rains have stimulated the dormant lawns and with cooler temperatures, the grass is growing again and it grows very long in a very short time. The hot, dry weather certainly hasn’t stopped the weeds from growing. Some of them in the wild space of my yard are more than 5 feet tall. Weeding is best done after

Thank You Volunteers! A very BIG thank you to hundreds of volunteers who helped make the first annual Centurion Ellicottville bike race a huge success.

The purpose for this Area Variance request is to allow for the placement for an accessory building (shed) located at property at 34 E Washington Street.

the event. The Centurion organization will travel to cycling clubs in various places, such as Ohio and into Canada to develop more of a following for the Ellicottville event and will begin talking to different clubs and marketing partners in January to discuss next year’s event. Awards were presented the the top male and female finishers of the time trial, the C25, the C50 and the C100, as well as three-deep in different age groups for each event. At the end of the event, after having ridden 100 miles in the C100 along with his three other team members, Holiday Valley President Dennis Eshbaugh thanked all of the volunteers and said the Centurion “was a really impressive experience”
and added “the course was spectacular.” Volunteers were undoubtedly worthy of praise, as more than 350 volunteers from Ellicottville offered their time, doing everything from managing intersections to working at water and food stops within the village. Doug Bush, head coach for Endurance Factor, said that each group that volunteered was given a donation to charity and that the Centurion organization donated more than $10,000 total to the volunteer groups. In a letter written to the editor of the Ellicottville Times, Jean Nagurney and Mila Clauss praised the volunteers, writing, “A very BIG thank you to hundreds of volunteers
who helped make the first annual Centurion Ellicottville bike race a huge success. Your hard work and enthusiasm did not go unnoticed by all those involved. The Centurion staff, spectators, and cyclists all commented on how organized, efficient, informative, and dedicated each one of you was the days of the event.” Also in a letter to the editor of the Times, Patra Lowes, village of Ellicottville trustee, encouraged people to “participate, volunteer and welcome our visitors.” “They may end up becoming a good customer, a new neighbor and a great friend!” she wrote.

Voodoo Moon – A Tribute to Michael Kerns Saturday, Aug. 25., “Voodoo Moon – A Tribute to Michael Kerns” is happening at Holiday Valley. This Gourmet Cocktail Party is Ellicottville’s absolute favorite event with over 200 people attending the upscale dinner and party that sells out every year. The party is put on by Rotary Club of Ellicottville Foundation for Youth to raise funds for their many worthy projects including their affiliate, Family Support for Ellicottville. This year’s party will get you in the spirit of New Orleans, with Cajun food and zydeco music providing the backdrop at the John Harvard’s Cabanna Bar and Pool Complex. Blue Sky Mission Club will entertain you for the evening. The Silent Auction will be like magic, with great donations from many local businesses. The Live Auction, hosted by Bob McCarthy, will feature Buffalo Sabres and Bills tickets and other great items. Voodoo is the theme and the air of “black magic” will be everywhere, but the highlight of the party is the great food. The chefs from the best restaurants in town bring their signature Cajun and southern dishes for all to enjoy. Jambalaya, seafood and Andouille gumbo, a traditional
crawfish boil, Cajun catfish and chicken fricassee are just some of the mouth-watering dishes you’ll enjoy. The dessert table is always a hit with extra-special cakes, cookies and tarts from Tom Kneeland and Dina DiPasquale, and treats from Watson’s to satisfy your sweet tooth. Beyond the food and the company, this is one of the most fun events of the year.
It’s for a great cause and is tax deductible. For those of you who knew Michael Kerns, you know that this is an event he would have loved. For tickets, visit The City Garage or A Touch of Ellicottville or call Kegs at (716) 699-8758. Come in theme or remember this is Ellicottville, so the dress is always casual but the fun is always in the party!
