The Taste of Ellicottville: It’s All About the Food See Page 7 for Menu and Map! by Eva Potter
© 2013 KEYSTONE DESIGNERS
One of life’s greatest pleasures is savoring the food we eat and this weekend the Taste of Ellicottville will pay homage to some of the area’s finest eateries. Your senses will be pleased with the wide variety of delightful aromas and flavors presented by 18 of Ellicottville’s best restaurants as they offer their specialties in tasting-size portions Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 10 – 11, in the heart of the village. Sample-sized tastings will be offered café style along the sidewalks from noon to 4 p.m. both days. The action takes place along Washington and Monroe streets with ticket booths located in three convenient locations in the center of the village. (See restaurant map on page 9.) Tickets cost $1 each and food selections range from 1-4 tickets each. Alcoholic beverages are not permitted outside or in public areas. The first plan of action — wear comfortably loose clothing or you won’t last long at this weekend-long gastronomic extravaganza. But how do you decide what to sample first? If you prefer not to mix your food groups, you could start by sampling a variety of appetizers. The Gin Mill will be featuring its famous fresh cut potato chips and Uncle Joe’s clam chowder and The Barn will tempt you with their pot stickers and coconut shrimp skewers. Or how about a fresh naan walking salad from the Centerplate at Holiday Valley or some tasty guacamole and See Taste of Ellicottville page 7 including menu and map
Next Up: Taste of Pumpkinville?
By Jann Wiswall
Taste of Ellicottville isn’t the area’s only foodoriented extravaganza. Just a few miles from the village lies an expansive farm with numerous outbuildings that magically turns itself into a fabulous six-week long homage to the pumpkin
and everything else that ripens with the fall season. Pumpkinville is a one-of-a-kind destination for the entire family. Indeed, it is the oldest pumpkin farm in New York and is the oldest continuously operated pumpkin farm in the United States. While in festival-mode from mid-September through October, 25 acres are turned into a combination fairground/farm market/feasting venue for kids and grownups of all ages. There are games, a cornfield maze, a corn cannon, a petting zoo, hayrides, “Pumpkin Jumpin’ Pillows,” crafts and gift shops, pickyour-own pumpkin fields, and even helicopter rides (new this year, weekends only). There’s also a vast array of pumpkins — from small to behemoth — to take home for cooking and carving, a huge selection of apples and squashes, plus Indian corn and gourds for seasonal See Pumpkinville page 5
Holiday Valley Continues Improving
Tim Hortons Ellicottville to Open Fall 2013

Ellicottville’s first 24-hour eatery is under construction at the intersection of Routes
After spending some $13 million on the resort in 2012 building the fabulous new main lodge, some might think Holiday Valley could have taken a year off from making even more
improvements. But the Valley never misses an opportunity to wow its guests with smart, creative investments to continually improve its facilities, and this year is no exception. “It’s just part of our culture,” said Marketing Director Jane Eshbaugh. “Part of the reason people come here year after year is that there’s always something new to do.” This year, Holiday Valley has put another $3.1 million into the resort, adding features and amenities for year-round enjoyment. Summer Fun Sky High Adventure Park, which opened in 2011, is an Aerial Park with 11 elevated courses made of platforms, bridges and zip lines built into a four-acre wooded area near Holiday Valley’s Tannenbaum Lodge. The Aerial Park has two See Holiday Valley page 6
of the busiest weekends of the entire year,” said Miranda. The new Tim Hortons will feature the chain’s new café and bakeshop look and feel that the company has introduced around the country to great appeal. “The new style features a contemporary décor with overstuffed chairs, a fireplace, a television and free Wi-Fi and a patio with fire pit outdoors,” See Tim Hortons page 13
Pain in the Alleganies Sept. 22 • Half Iron, Triathlon, Aquabike and Duathlon by Jesse Mast
No pain, no gain? For hundreds of athletes, the answer is apparently “yes,” as they gather for tough

219 and 242, and with a little luck, it will be fully staffed and open in early October, said Ray Miranda, owner of Miranda Holdings and seven other Tim Horton’s franchises in western New York. “Barring unforeseen construction delays, we’re cautiously optimistic that we’ll be open for our test-run in time for Fall Fest — one
competition at the second annual Pain in the Alleganies on Sunday, Sept. 22. Pain in the Alleganies is a multisport event that includes half iron, triathlon, aquabike and duathlon races. Allegany State Park Red House Area provides the scenic backdrop for this grueling event. Pain in the Alleganies is organized by Score This!!!, a corporation that has been organizing multisport events since 1997. Last year was the first time this event was held, and now in its second year, organizers are expecting a good turnout of athletes, according to Score This!!! Vice President Richard Clark.

interView: Conversations with Ellicottville-ians Get to Know: Roger Spell By Jann Wiswall
Get to Know: Roger Spell Title: Co-Owner, The Barn Restaurant; Chair, Ellicottville Central School Board of Education A Few Facts: Roger Spell is a relative newcomer to Ellicottville. He has only lived in Ellicottville since 1997! That’s the year he and his wife, Mary (Laidlaw) Spell, purchased her childhood, historic home on Washington Street after her father’s death. FYI: The Laidlaw family has been a fixture in the village since 1875, when Mary’s grandfather William K. Laidlaw purchased the home that was built in 1846. When the Spells first moved to Ellicottville from Texas, Roger worked in Buffalo for Northrop Grumman, the defense contractor, after serving for many years in the U.S. Air Force, including a tour in the first Gulf War. Mary also was working in Buffalo, and though they enjoyed their jobs, the commute was wearing them down. Plus, Roger was coaching their two children’s sports teams, and he had been elected to the Ellicottville Board of Education. When The Barn Restaurant was put up for sale in 2010, Roger jumped at the chance to own a business and work locally. Now, nearly three years later, Spell and partner Kevin Watt have put their stamp on The Barn, which has a special place in the hearts of community residents and tourists alike. Q: What’s the best part about owning a restaurant in Ellicottville? A: Like so many other businesses in Ellicottville, ours is a family affair. Both of my children, Shelby and Robert, help out in the kitchen, as do

Kevin’s sons. Our wives both are very involved, and Mary took a bartending class and developed our drink menus. And our staff, which totals 25 in the peak winter months, also is like family to us. We all love the place and are always coming up with ideas for improvements. Q: Taste of Ellicottville is coming up next weekend. How important is that to the businesses in town? A: In the restaurant business, people often have their favorites and just stick with the places they know. This is an opportunity for people to try everything, expand their horizons and maybe find a few new favorites. It really is a huge opportunity for every restaurant in town to introduce themselves to people, and we all work for a month to prepare for it. At The Barn, our orders were placed weeks ago and this week we’ve begun prepping. Last year we went through 70 pounds of banana peppers for our Hungarian Stuffed Peppers (with Andouille sausage and four cheeses) and 100 pounds
of pork for the bleu cheese encrusted medallions. We also plan for a lot of people who come back for dinner and another order of coconut shrimp. All the restaurants have busy dinner hours on Taste weekend. It’s a very valuable event for everyone. Q: You’ve been actively involved with Ellicottville Central Schools for many years. Now in your second year as Chair of the Board, what do you think the biggest challenges for the school will be in the next few years? A: For the near future, of course, the board and staff will be very busy with the renovation project. Right now, we’re working to get the architect’s plans finalized. The next task will be to get the plans and budget to align. But the hard work really will be after construction begins when we have to ensure students and teachers have everything they need to keep school going without too much disruption. We’ll have to find places to hold games, performances, testing and other activities that are See Roger Spell page 5

“We’re targeting 500 (participants) this year,” he said. Athletes will choose from a variety of races of different lengths. Athletes opting for the longest of these, the half iron, will endure a 1.2-mile swim, tackle two climbs — twice each — on a 56-mile bike segment, and finish off with 13.1-mile run over paved park paths. On the shorter side of the competition is the duathlon: 3.1 miles running, 12.4 miles biking and another 3.1 miles running. The half iron and short triathlon events may be done solo or as a relay. The competition begins bright and early. The transition area opens at 5:45 a.m. for body marking to begin at 6 a.m. and a pre-race meeting at 7:30 a.m. The race kicks off at 8 a.m. with a cold plunge into Red House Lake. Since the different races use the same course, they will begin in waves, starting with the sprint triathlon and duathlon.
The races will be held rain or shine. “Last year we had horrible weather,” Clark laughed, saying that the event continued through sun, rain and even hail. “It was very unique.” The awards ceremony for the sprint and duathlon will take place at 10:30 a.m., and for the half iron and aquabike at 2:30 p.m. Awards will be given to the top five overall finishers in the half iron and aquabike events. Other events will award medals three-deep according to age categories. Besides the hundreds of athletes involved, Clark said “an additional 100 people” work to make Pain in the Alleganies a success. This includes the fire department for water safety, park police and more than 40 Score This!!! staff. The event also relies on the participation of volunteers. Whether assisting with registration, directing athletes on the course or helping in one of the aid stations, volunteers are important in nearly every aspect of the event in order to
E m e porium d i s k e e r C
make race day run smoothly. This may be a great opportunity for people wanting to volunteer time and effort. Clark told of one boy in particular who volunteered last year. Clark said the boy set up an additional aid station on course all by himself. Pain in the Alleganies is sanctioned by USA Triathlon. Adult athletes who are not USAT members may obtain a one-day membership for a $12 fee. Registration is available online at www.paininthealle-
ganies.com. Registration fees are different for each type of race. Prices increase after Aug. 22 and again on the day of the race. Athletes are encouraged to check this website for any detail updates before the race. Race packet pickup is Saturday, Sept. 21 at Holiday Valley Resort from 5–8 p.m., and race day at Allegany State Park Red House Area from 6–7:30 a.m. For out-of-town athletes, a special lodging rate is available at Holiday Valley Resort by calling (716) 699-2345.

For years, my family has been what we call weekend campers at Allegany State Park (ASP). We’d stay in a cabin for two or three nights during the off-peak season, or throw up our tent on the Diehl Trail for a couple nights in August. Last summer, we decided to make the jump from weekend campers to weeklong campers, and the resulting vacation was so successful that we decided to make it an annual getaway. One of the great things about staying for a week is that you can take advantage of all the in-park programming. You can pick up a program schedule from both the Quaker and Red House rental offices, or view it online on the Allegany State Park Facebook page. When we checked into our cabin recently, I handed the week’s schedule to my kids and told them to pick a program they’d like to attend. They quickly chose Edible Wild Plants, so we all ventured over to the Red House side of the park to learn what we could about the topic. The program was led by an ASP Naturalist named Adele. She walked the group of about 15 around the area where ASP 1 meets ASP 2, and she pointed out and had us sample a variety of edible plants. While snacking on pine needles and dandelions wouldn’t be at the top of my afternoon snack list, it was neat to learn all about the plants you
can eat if you were really hard up for some grub or for some inexpensive new additions to a salad. We also got a kick out of “brushing our teeth” with strawberry leaves and freshening our breath with wintergreen. Adele also pointed out certain plants to stay away from, such as poison ivy and honeysuckle berries, the small round red berries that are everywhere this time of year. “The program was interesting because there were plants there that I didn’t know I could eat,” said my 8-year-old daughter. “The workshop was fun because it was something different to do with my whole family, and we all like learning about nature,” added my 10year old daughter. Edible Wild Plants is just one of dozens of free programs offered at ASP throughout the week. Animal lovers can choose from programs entitled Birds of ASP, Butterflies, Salamanders, Damselflies and Dragonflies, Turtles, Snakes, Frogs and Other Critters, Tracks and Scat, and Ladybugs, among others. Visitors interested in learning more about specific places within the park can take a tour of Thunder Rocks,
the Bear Caves or the Beaver Colony. Adventurists might enjoy Wilderness Survival, Monsters of ASP, or Pond and Stream Safari. Guided family nature hikes are also offered throughout the week, as well as familyfriendly, game-based education such as Mammal Jeopardy and Minute to Win It. Artists will surely enjoy Creating Art From Nature offered through the Cattaraugus County Arts Council. These classes are also free, but require registration by calling (716) 372-7455. Most ASP programs are offered Monday through Friday, with some special events on Saturdays. They are free, and do not require registration, unless noted. This means you can attend whatever fits into your schedule and you don’t have to decide until you’re there. You don’t need to be a weeklong camper to take advantage of the free programming at ASP. Day visitors can also join the fun. With most programs only lasting an hour, you can learn something new and still have plenty of time to enjoy the beautiful sights and sounds of the park. For more information, visit ASP’s official Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ AlleganyStatePark or stop into either rental office for a schedule.

decorating. But the mouth-watering array of homemade eats may well be the biggest draw of them all. Let’s start with the pumpkin creations — all made from fresh Pumpkinville-grown pumpkins. Sugar and cinnamon-sprinkled pumpkin doughnuts and pumpkin pies roll out of Di’s Pies & Bake Shoppe all day long, every day, and are the number one top sellers. Literally thousands are sold every year, and on weekends, you can expect to stand in fast-moving lines for these sumptuous treats. Homemade pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin bread, pumpkin soup and pumpkin fudge also are among the chef’s specialties. And oh that fudge — owners Dan and Diane Pawlowski roll out every flavor you can imagine and then some. This
year, they’ll introduce two new flavors — butterscotch and strawberry. While you’re at the fudge shop, be sure to try the Pawlowskis’ homemade peanut butters, the new almond butter and the delectable homemade caramel — which is available to take home or to try right there drizzled over freshly sliced apples and topped with whipped cream. Fall apples, of course, are featured in a big way with all the most popular varieties to take home in bags or bushels. Pumpkinville makes its own freshly pressed cider in a 120-year-old antique cider mill, which you can tour to see how the process works from beginning to end. Pick up a few gallons or half gallons while you’re there, and don’t forget to add a freshly baked apple pie while you’re getting your pumpkin goodies at the bakery.

normally held in the gym and other areas that will be under construction. We’re confident that it will all work out well, and everyone agrees that the end result will be a much better learning environment for our kids. As is always the case, school funding is another challenge and will remain one for the foreseeable future. The State Education Department has been cutting budgets for years, while asking us to do more with less. Last year was especially difficult with the dramatic increase in pension benefits contributions, but we anticipate those increases will
be less severe in a year or two. To add to the challenge, the state, which wants us to rely more on local funding, also mandates a maximum 2 percent local tax increase. We’re fortunate in Ellicottville that we’re seeing economic development, which will add to the tax base, but some of the neighboring communities in the school district have seen property assessments go down, which puts more of a tax burden on the healthier areas. Luckily, we also have a very supportive community. Between formal organizations such as the Sports Boosters
and the Parent-Teacher Organization, and many dedicated individuals, we always seem to find a way to get things done with volunteer help and donations. One example is the school’s press box and concession stand at the sports field. The old structure was dilapidated, but there was no money in the budget to fix it, so Jerry Musall volunteered to build a new one, found companies to donate materials, and got it done at little expense to the school. There are so many examples of that kind of generosity and support that make our District special.
Fresh pumpkin donuts are made daily at Pumpkinville, and are a huge favorite!
Pumpkinville also offers a great selection of main course treats that will keep your tummy content on the mildest or coolest fall day. Pick your favorites from a menu that includes hot dogs, chili, Italian sausages, BBQ pork and chicken, pumpkin soup, beef on weck, kettle corn, curly fries, homemade ice cream and more. Pumpkinville opens for the season on Sept. 14 and is open daily from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. through Oct. 31. Admission is free and there is ample parking. FYI: Pumpkinville employs some 100 people during its season and will be taking applications beginning Sept. 3. If interested, please apply in person. For more information, visit pumpkinville.com.

donations were the Ellicottville Youth Soccer program, Great Valley Youth program, Little League Baseball and Little League Football. Holiday Valley’s President, Dennis Eshbaugh, commented, “We appreciate having such good neighbors in Ellicottville
and Great Valley. We’re pleased to be able to support outdoor activities for the youth in our community. And Mercy Flight is an important service to our community and our guests. It is reassuring to know that they are ready to help in emergencies.�

New Attractions and Old Favorites Ready for Pumpkinville Visitors

Faith & Spirituality Today Jesus often taught in PARABLES. A parable is a simple illustration, often found in nature, to teach a spiritual truth. As we look at the harvest around us we may be able to appreciate Jesus’ parable of the sower (farmer). This parable is found in the Gospel of Mark, chapter 4.
Many have opinions about The Bible, but few actually READ it! Come, consider the Scriptures with us. We gather on alternate Sundays and midweek as well. Our gatherings are discussion oriented and we welcome you to come.
Jesus explains that the seed is the Word of God, the soil is like our hearts. Our hearts may be in one of four conditions - hard, rocky, weed infested, or good soil - able to bring forth a harvest. Jesus is challenging us to consider the true condition of our heart, and to receive His Word.

From mid-September to the end of October, more than 100,000 people will head to Cattaraugus County’s largest autumn attraction, Pumpkinville. That’s about 50 times the population of Great Valley itself! The 200-acre farm is the oldest continuously working pumpkin farm in New York State and is run by Dan and Diane Pawlowski and their children, Jim and Lisa. This year, Pumpkinville is open for fun, food and excitement from Sept. 14 through Halloween, Oct. 31, from 9 a.m.–7 p.m. each day. Admission is free. The newest attraction is the Pumpkin Jumpin’ Pillows. These two giant jumping pillows — 35 feet by 70 feet — are sure to keep the kids busy, and offer up some great exercise for adults as well. “Our visitors also get a big kick out of the Singing Chickens,” said Dan Pawlowski. “These animatronic chickens sing, tell jokes and put a smile on everyone’s face.” A full show runs every half hour, but a short series of jokes are available at the push of a button. Of course, the popular old favorites are back as well, including the restored Hayrides, The Corn Cannon, Goat Mountain, The Cow Train, Gem Mining and Storyland. Visit the 6-acre Corn Maze, one of the largest in the U.S., to find messages and win prizes. On weekends in
October (weather permitting), take a helicopter ride and see the gorgeous fall foliage from above. Pumpkinville also offers lots of delicious food to eat there and to take home. Topping the list is their famous pumpkin donuts made right before your eyes. “We’ve got people across the country asking us to ship those donuts to them,” said Mr. Pawlowski. Other food includes homemade pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie, old-fashioned kettle corn, caramel sauce and caramel apples, fudge, jam, maple products and much more. The Pumpkinville Grill, Chicken BBQ, Ice Cream Factory, and Di’s Pies & Bake Shoppe all are filled with goodies. Visitors also can watch apple cider pressings and see a historic 125-yearold cider mill in use. And this year you can get a taste of Pumpkinville before and after the season — just order from
the new online store at www. pumpkinville.com. Don’t forget the main attraction — pumpkins! Pink Pumpkin Weekend is Sept. 21–22 and features three acres of specially developed pink pumpkins, along with pumpkin painting and entertainment. A portion of the proceeds benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation of Western New York. Pumpkinville will also participate in Fall Festival Weekend, Oct. 12–14, with a variety of festivities each day. Of course, plenty of pumpkins will be ripe for the picking! Select your own for a special jack-o-lantern or for fall decorations. You can also choose from a variety of painted pumpkins. Pumpkinville is just minutes from Ellicottville at 4844 Sugartown Rd., off Route 98 in Great Valley. Pumpkinville — Fall Family Fun is our business!

new courses this year: “Snap Dragon,” a yellow (easiest) course, and “Fern Gulley,” a green (next level up) course. Also new at Sky High this year is the one-of-a-kind “Climbing Forest” — a 3-D version of a climbing wall that features closely spaced trees with handholds where climbers can choose their route up as far as 45 feet. The Climbing Forest has been a huge hit with beginning climbers and experts alike. Sky High has been full to capacity on many weekends this year, so reservations are suggested. It is open daily through Labor Day and then on weekends through November, weather permitting. Call 1-716-699-HIGH. All of the guest rooms at the Inn at Holiday Valley have had a facelift this summer. There’s new bedding, bath fixtures and pool furniture already, and black-and-white vintage photos of Holiday Valley over the years will replace the old artwork. The old Day Care Center between the new lodge and the Tamarack Club was removed this year and replaced with the Overlook Terrace, an outdoor plaza with seating and a fireplace and a truly grand view of the golf course and ski slopes. The Overlook has been a popular gathering place all summer for pool goers and is available for weddings and other social gatherings year round. Adjacent to the three-pool complex and Golf Shop, Holiday Valley is working on renovating the old Cabana Bar with a new timber beam roof system that will have open sides in the summer and can be enclosed with glass panels for cold weather use. The new
Spend Some Quality Time at Ellicottville Country Store and Antiques By Jennie Acklin
Ellicottville Country Store and Antiques is an oldfashioned general store and diner, featuring 12 antique dealers throughout the charming building that dates back to the late 1870s. Located at the corner of Routes 242 and 240 in Ashford Junction, it is a short drive east of downtown Ellicottville. The shelves of the general store are stocked with gourmet kitchenware, old-fashioned
penny candy, local maple syrups and honeys, jams, jellies, soup mixes, canning supplies and all kinds of unusual and hard to find “must haves.” Pine soap is one of the best sellers, along with fresh cheese curds and salt rising breads (brought in fresh every Thursday). Local artists and photographers display their work for sale, along with Amish-made bird feeders in the shapes of cardinals, chickadees
and numerous others. The diner has recently expanded its hours and is now open Wednesday through Sunday. So whether you come to eat, then browse the various rooms of the store, or come to shop and decide to stay for a plate of stuffed French toast, eggs benedict or the special of the day, you can’t go wrong! Owner Laura McLeod will soon be headed to fall markets, where she’ll be searching for
new merchandise. Be sure to stop in to see what she’s found!
Cabana Bar will be completed in time for the 2013-14 winter season. Winter Thrills A new feature is being added to the Holiday Valley Tubing Park on Bryant Hill Drive — an ice skating rink! More details will be available soon, but the rink will be a simple affair that will operate weather permitting and will add yet another outdoor activity to keep visitors and residents active all winter long. In addition to all of these new features, Holiday Valley has made two major investments in snowmaking and grooming infrastructure that will improve the skiing/riding experience for all winter guests. The first is the installation of 70 new HKD SV-10 automated snow guns on the Edelweiss, Sunrise, Cindy’s and Foxfire slopes. The
resort has been upgrading to automated snowmaking on six other slopes over the past several years with impressive results. The addition of the new automated snow guns brings more efficiency and energy savings to the vast majority of the mountain, while providing the best possible manmade snow. Operators are able to turn on and off the guns all at once during even the briefest periods of cold, rather than having to manually start each gun one at a time. The resort also has purchased a Pisten Bully 600 Active Boom Winch Cat grooming machine, which offers the latest technology for grooming steeper trails. The hydraulic boom allows the groomer to push and groom snow both uphill and downhill, off the centerline of the winch cable anchor point, resulting in better coverage in hard to reach spots. For the Kids In addition, Holiday Valley’s crews have spent a good part of the summer clearing glades and wood lots for the many skiers/ riders who prefer making their own trails through the woods. And, in cooperation with snowsports company Burton, the Valley is creating a “Riglet Park” near the “Outpost” with gentle terrain and slight mounds for teaching the littlest riders and skiers to learn their new sports. Oh, and speaking of the little ones, Holiday Valley this year is giving families a big break by offering free passes to kids ages 6 and under, rather than 5 and under. “This is part of our continuing commitment to improving the overall experience for families,” Eshbaugh explained.

chips from Bike & Bean. Balloons will be offering four types of finger-licking chicken wings and Dina’s will satisfy you with their rich butternut squash bisque. Time to move on to the main course! Italian food is always a crowd favorite. For an easy-to-carry main entrée, try Tim & Bonnie’s delicious pizza. Tips Up Café will have you salivating when you smell their caramelized sea scallop with Asiago cheese polenta. Madigan’s will leave you speaking with an English accent after you sample their Guinness mac & cheese with a slice of roasted corned beef, while Kabob Kafe will transport your palate to Greece with a chicken souvlaki pita. Prefer to travel even farther? Then head to the Silver Fox Steakhouse and grab a ticket to China with their Cantonese chicken over rice.
For traditional, hearty American fare, try Hoagie’s loaded steak extravaganza sub. A sampling of Ellicottville Brewing Company’s Texas BBQ brisket will leave you happy and sated. While you can always start with dessert, it’s always nice to reward all your tasting efforts with a sampling of mouthwatering sweets. Satisfy your sweet tooth with the Birdwalk’s fresh-baked blueberry crisp, Watson’s variety of chocolates and candies including grandma’s baklava, or stop at Riley’s for some creamy blueberry cheesecake. If you can’t make up your mind, you can try homemade cookies, rocky road fudge bars, cannolis or peach shortcake at Dina’s at the Mont. Of course, you can’t eat all afternoon without a refreshing drink.
While most vendors offer bottled water, the drink category also has some gourmet options. Newcomer Bike & Bean will be blending healthy real fruit smoothies, the Ellicottville Brewing Company will quench your thirst with fresh squeezed lemonade and Holiday Valley is pouring their Arnold’s infused lemonade. Now that you’ve spent the weekend eating your way through Ellicottville, are there any menu items you didn’t get to try? To ensure you don’t go home disappointed, bring your own doggie bag and take a taste of Ellicottville home with you to savor later. The Taste of Ellicottville is brought to you by the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce. For more information, visit www. ellicottvilleny.com.

First of all, “Greage Sale 8-2-10 Only!” That’s a bad sign of the times right there. After 100 years of these “five and dimers” at the end of our properties, why can’t we at least decide if they’re a “yard sale,” “lawn sale,” or a “garage sale?” Likewise, after a century of retreating to a rustic northern spot in the summer, Canadians still can’t decide if it should be called a cottage, a cabin or a camp. The traditional Canadian yard/lawn/garage sale is actually an outdoor insult contest in which pieces of junk and spare change are the agreed-upon weapons of choice. Given that you’re trying to sell me something you don’t want or need and probably never did and I’m about to buy your junk, which I will likely try to sell back to you next summer, we should call the sale a “flimflam” or a “flipflop” — a game of commercial ping pong involving bric-abrac for a buck. Take me, for instance, your principal peddler for today’s yard seller. With a card table, a jar of change and no experience whatsoever, I will take a decade’s worth of accumulated crap, which I’m too lazy to drop off at the local dump, and I will attempt to sell it to you, an unsuspecting stranger. By the time we meet in my driveway, I will have gone through five strategies of yard sale marketing: I don’t care if I make any money as long as I get rid of this stuff. Hey! This thing still works. I don’t think five bucks is too much. I paid ten. If they don’t want to pay the price, I’ll just keep this stuff and use it myself. New sign: “All Prices Firm. Break It, You Bought It.” So that’s me, the seller, sitting casually in a lawn chair
Cabinet World of Olean
One-Stop Kitchen and Bath Designs for Every Budget by Eva Potter
When you’re ready to install a sparkling new kitchen or gut your old, moldy bathroom, there’s only one place to go— Cabinet World of Olean. It’s a one-stop-shopping mecca for kitchen and bath cabinetry, fixtures, flooring, countertops, backsplashes, frameless shower doors, toilets and even gorgeous furniture. There really is no need to look further. Cabinet World was started in 2001, by West Penn Hardwoods owners Kim and Rocky Mehta as a natural extension of their hardwood business. In 2002, the opportunity to purchase the business was presented to Sue Schultz, who had already been working at Cabinet World since 2002. Naturally, she jumped at the chance. In 2006, Shultz brought on board Gina Mansfield, who holds a degree in interior architecture and design. Since then, the powerhouse duo has designed many kitchens and baths in Ellicottville, Great Valley and throughout the Southern Tier. They truly pride themselves on personalized service to make your decorating decisions easy and stress free. Also, Schultz and Mansfield don’t work on commission, so there are no
high-pressure sales tactics — just honest advice. Maybe you’ve seen HGTV’s design show “Sensible Chic,” where a designer will create the look of a high-end room at a modest price — well, these ladies can do just that for you, too! You’ll get a “boutique” shopping experience without the hefty price tag. “A new trend we’re seeing is painted cabinets in cream, navy blue and gray, as well as touch and touchless faucets,” said Schultz. She said hardwood flooring is still extremely popular throughout the home and is seeing a lot of interest particularly in Anderson handscraped styles, as well as other wood flooring by Somerset, Mullican and Alloc. Of course, tile remains an ageless favorite. Cabinet World carries the full line of cabinetry by KraftMaid, Aristokraft, Omega and Candelight, custom-built cabinetry manufactured locally in Lockport, N.Y. You can also buy everything from basic laminate to luxury granite and quartz countertops, as well as glass, metal and tile backsplash materials from names like Corian, Silestone, Formica, Caesarstone, Cambria, Corian and Wilsonart.

with a cup of coffee and the morning paper trying to appear nonchalant, because I alone know what evil lurks behind those masking tape price stickers. I am a swindler. Now let’s take you. You are the prospective yard sale customer, my market, my mark. First of all, you cruised by the night before shouting something about a sale. I shouted back something about your mother. (Sorry.) You returned early next morning, parked in my neighbour’s flower garden, and after inspecting every item in the yard sale, you picked up my card table with my entire sale inventory, empty coffee mug and newspaper and said, “Would you take two bucks for this?” As politely as I could, I said, “No, but for a loonie you could get that canoe paddle … right across your ass!” (Again, I apologize.) So as a professional yard sale rummager, you’re rude, coldhearted and crass. Yard sale people are a pain in the ass. But that’s your job. You’re supposed to make me feel cheap and sleazy. After all, I’m a swindler. If I didn’t want to be humiliated, I wouldn’t have taken out ads in the newspaper inviting you to come to my house and fondle my personal belongings. You’re the type of person whose children will grow up to be scalpers; mine will supply them with counterfeit concert tickets. It’s a very sick world. I’m just glad we could be there for each other. I just love the unwritten law behind the lawn sale: Whatever is left over at closing time goes to the Salvation Army. First, we go for cold, hard cash and when that doesn’t work, we
By William Thomas embrace the idea of charity. I mean if several hundred people wearing Crocs and tank tops found your stuff to be useless or tasteless, do you really think people who shop at Goodwill outlets are going to outbid each other for it?!? And you just know this had to happen, there’s now a country and western song out there about a yard sale — “Sortin’ through what’s left of me and you.” I can only imagine the wife’s gone, the pickup truck is up for sale and the dog got hit by the woman who drove up the driveway at 7:30 a.m. when the sign clearly stated an eight o’clock start. Certain items need to be banned from these sales like undergarments, toilet seats, urns with ashes still in them, anything inscribed with the word “love” and yes, this has happened, bags of cat poop marked “fertilizer.” And the worst? If I spot anything crocheted or macramed or titled “Home Sweet Whatever,” I don’t’ get out of the car. And worse than the “Greage Sale” sign was the one I spotted near Mayville, New York, “Going To Jail Sale.” Now that’s where the seller says “yes” to pretty much every price you offer. No sorry, that’s not the worst. The worst is spotting a book you’ve written and inscribed to the woman with her caboose parked in a lawn chair next to a box marked “Two Bucks For Them All.” Yeah, that’s the worst. That’s when you go home and come back with a bag marked “fertilizer” and offer to trade it for the book box.

Cabinet World’s line of customizable Norwalk furniture provides thousands of combinations to create our personal style. Shultz, who has a self-taught eye for color and arrangement, said she loves pulling the look together for her customers. “I can lay out kitchens, do your flooring, calculate your square footage, and reconfigure rooms using our 3-D design software to give you an actual visual of how the new room could look,” she said. Not sure when you’ll be ready to purchase but are ready to begin planning now? Cabinet World can create a package to pull all your choices together, along with images of how your room could look, to share with family and friends.

Letter to the Editor Alley Katz Resources Dwindling The Alley Katz are in the process of planning the winter decorations and flowers for spring/ summer 2014 to beautify our village. For those of you who may not be familiar with the work of the Alley Katz, we are the group of volunteers that plant and maintain the flowers in the village and also decorate the gazebo with a tree and lights during the winter season. Our funding is received from the village and the town, but is not enough to cover all the expenses we incur. Many private individuals as well as some businesses make donations to make sure that we do not run out of funds. Lately due to rising costs, our resources have dwindled to the point where we may not be able to continue all the work we presently do. We are asking for any financial help that you can manage. Anything would be greatly appreciated to help us continue to make our village as special as it is. For the Taste of Ellicottville weekend, we will have the yellow watering can in front of Anew Beginning Massage and Spa (9 Monroe St.) for donations. Donations can also be made by check payable to: Alley Katz, P.O. Box 1407, Ellicottville, NY 14731. If you would prefer to make a cash donation, please contact Debbie Yantomasi at (716) 699-5239 or (716) 803-3388. Thank you for your support! Debbie Yantomasi, Chairperson

Cemetery Walk and Finnegan’s Wake Raise over $3,000 for Restoration Project
680 Broad St., Salamanca NY 14779 • (716) 945-1360
Creekside Emporium and Event Center
By Mary Fox
Extensive restoration by Crandall’s Memorials has been taking place at the Jefferson Street Cemetery over the last few years with two thirds of the cemetery finished. “There is still work to be done by Crandall’s cleaning up the gravestones and repairing those broken or fallen over,” said Gail Carucci, leader of the Jefferson Street Cemetery Committee. “As funding becomes available, our first priority is to have a rock engraved with the names of 37 individuals known to be buried in the cemetery without a marker,” said Carucci, who has done extensive research into the families buried in the cemetery. “These people will not go unidentified.” Other restoration plans include erecting a sign for the cemetery, a plaque for National Registry status, stone benches for meditation and landscaping. As part of the Americana Folk Art Fair weekend, the Jefferson Street Cemetery Committee held a cemetery walk on July 20. Visitors first toured the Episcopal Church and then were transported by wagon to the Jefferson Street Cemetery where “they were taken on a trip back in time to hear the stories of some of the people who are buried there,” said Cathy Lacy, a tour guide on the walk. “Walking through this or any cemetery can connect us to our past and help us realize they were real people with real stories to tell,” said re-enactor Della Moore, who played the part of Martha Maybee, wife of Abram. The first man to be buried in the cemetery was Baker Leonard, who built the first frame house in the village in

1817 for the Holland Land Company. The Holland Land Company rejected it because of its high cost, so Baker opened it as a tavern, trading post and post office. It has been in the same family line throughout its existence. It is located on the corner of Washington and Jefferson streets, next to the Episcopal Church. Memorial stones help tell the stories of generations of some of Ellicottville’s first settlers, those who enjoyed a long life and those who were victims of their times. Over 90 children, from newborn to 10 years old, were laid to rest in this cemetery along with young women, many who died in childbirth, veterans, first settlers and people from all walks of life. Re-enactors, stood next to gravestones, dressed in costumes representative of the time of the person buried there, and became that person telling the story of their life. Carrie Litchfield played the part of Lillas, the daughter of the spiritualist Beals Litchfield. Lillas was one of the eight members of the Litchfield

family buried in the cemetery. “It was neat to step back into the past to portray a family member and tell their story,” said Litchfield. “I died of diphtheria in 1864,” said Lillas Litchfield. “My spiritualist father communicated with me through séances.” Twenty-nine people toured the cemetery, raising $290 for the cemetery fund. Over $3,000 was raised for the ongoing projects and renovation of the Jefferson Street Cemetery on July 19 at Finnegan’s Wake, the brainchild of Bob McCarthy. Each year, McCarthy donates the proceeds from this event to a local charitable organization. (Thank you, Bob, for your support of the Jefferson Street Cemetery Restoration!) Any donations made to the Jefferson Street Cemetery Project will help keep Ellicottville’s rich history alive for years to come. If you’d like to donate, please call Gail Carucci at (716) 307-5510 or email her at glcarucci@aol.com.

Creekside Emporium and Events Center owners Alice and Fred Perkins, with daughter Andrea. by Jennie Acklin
A few months ago, while most of us were getting the last runs of the winter season in, Alice and Fred Perkins of Salamanca added another division to their already successful trucking business, A & F Trucking/Perkins Sand and Gravel. They were interested in purchasing the gravel pits behind Green Gable Antiques, which also came with all of the on-site buildings — almost 40,000 square feet of space located in various buildings. In March 2013, the couple closed on the property and renamed the antique business Creekside Emporium and Events Center. The Corey Brown Auction center is still on-site and will continue to operate there. The antique business is still there as well, and Alice and daughter Andrea are looking for more vendors to fill the building. Treasures of all kinds can be found inside, from antiques and collectibles, to arts and craft period items, McCoy and Roseville pottery, Depressionera glass, Flow Blue china, primitives, artwork and
railroad-related items, just to name a few. Amanda said they named the business an emporium, because anything can be bought and sold here, not just antiques and vintage items. Sherry Glenn is the manager of Creekside Emporium and loves to help customers find just the perfect item on their list. She knows better than anyone what is under the roof and just where in the building a certain treasure can be found. On the property, there is also a 6,500-square-foot building the owners are currently renovating to be used as an events center to host conferences, weddings,
company gatherings, and maybe even a comedy center. There are currently looking for someone who is interested in managing and promoting the center, including the kitchen and catering offerings. The renovations should be completed very soon and Alice wants everyone to know that reservations are being taken now. A quaint and charming “barn” building is also available for rent, with over 4,000 square feet on two levels and plenty of storage space. Alice believes a retail-oriented business would be perfect for this space. There is also plenty of office space available for rent on-site, which could be finished to suit. With so much room and a great location between Ellicottville and Salamanca, the new owners are sure to attract a lot of businesses and customers. Located at 4343 South Whalen Road in Great Valley (just off Route 219), Creekside Emporium and Events Center is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m.–5 p.m., and Sunday, noon–5 p.m. Call Sherry or Alice for more information at (716) 945-1900.

Slopeside Junction to Open Saturday Aug. 10 High-End, Gently Used Consignment Furniture by Eva Potter
Moving or tired of that leather couch? There’s a new way to give your used, high-end furniture a second life. You can now sell those pieces you are no longer using at the new Slopeside Junction consignment shop and come away with a little money to put toward your new furnishings. Shop owner Colleen Hastings, who also owns a consignment and antique store in Arcade, N.Y., thought she could fill a void in Ellicottville. “When people in town are switching their furniture or moving, they don’t always have a place to take it,” said Hastings. Along with son Ryan Sullivan and “adopted son” Dante Carlton, Hastings will open the store this Saturday, Aug. 10. The store is located next to Betsy’s Consignments at 34 Washington Street in the village. Hastings said Carlton played a large role in pulling the store together. “Without him and Ryan, it wouldn’t have been possible,” said Hastings.
She said that Sullivan will be running the Ellicottville store. “Ryan has been helping me since he was a kid with all my other ventures,” said Hastings, who has always been driven by her entrepreneurial spirit and “passion for finding that deal, finding that special piece.” Inside the store, you will find everything from leather couches, table and chair sets, bedroom furniture, pottery, lamps and fine antiques. Hastings said she is looking for artists who are looking for a place to display and sell their work. In addition to furniture, the store will also offer small wares for people starting out in apartments or homes. Hastings said most things are
kept for 60 days, with a price reduction after 30 days. Then the owner has the option of taking it back or donating it to charity. But why open this store in Ellicottville? “My son loves Ellicottville. I love Ellicottville—it’s a quaint, beautiful town with great people,” said Hastings. “When I want to go somewhere to have a nice meal, I come to Ellicottville. When you just want to get together with friends, this is the place to go.” Slopeside Junction is open Wednesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. – 5 p.m., and Sunday, noon to 4 p.m. For more information, call Colleen Hastings at (716) 445-1448.
End of Summer Variety Event Springville Center for the Arts Presents Children’s Reception, Artwork and Live Theater SPRINGVILLE — Summer programs at Springville Center for the Arts will come to a conclusion, Saturday, Aug. 17 with a mash of arts events ground into one evening. The program begins with a children’s art reception at Arts Underground, located at 66 East Main St., Springville, at 6 p.m. Students, grades 3-8, worked with a variety of artists and created paintings, sculptural designs of the arts center, baskets and more that will be on display. Refreshments will be provided. At 7 p.m., the event moves to the main theater space as the SCA Summer Theater interns will perform “Louder, I Can’t Hear You,” written by Bill Gleason. This is the final event featuring the five performers and educators who came to Springville from a variety of colleges to work with area youth. “Louder” is a familyappropriate short comedy about an all-too-familiar aspect of life — people not listening.
This will be followed by a screening of a short film made by the film camp that stars the interns and Julie Noeson. Several short animations from the Stop Motion & Sound Design camps will be screened as well. The program culminates in an 8 p.m. screening of “The Cameraman” starring Buster Keaton, where he plays a clumsy cameraman trying to gain the affection of a woman
working at MGM studios. The 1928 silent film will feature live accompaniment by Robert Bruce, an international touring artist with numerous publications and recordings to his credit. The admission price is $5 payable at the door. These programs were made possible through a partnership with Springville Youth Incorporated and sponsored by M&T Bank and New York State Council on the Arts.

CCB Sponsors ‘Back To School Supply Drive’ LITTLE VALLEY, NY – The America’s Promise team at CCB (Cattaraugus County Bank) is holding a “Back To School Supply Drive” throughout the month of August, 2013. The drive is intended to provide area schoolchildren with supplies they may need, but cannot afford. Items needed include pens, pencils, loose leaf paper, pocket folders, glue sticks, colored pencils, crayons, spiral notebooks, highlighters, liquid glue, construction paper, scissors, erasers, poster board, scotch tape, stickers, wide ruled paper, composition notebooks. Even book bags, tissues and lunch boxes will be accepted. The national symbol for America’s Promise, a red wagon, will be displayed in
each location through the end of August as a drop-off location. CCB will distribute the supplies to local schools after they are in session in September. “This is what we do as part of the America’s Promise commitment; we help children,” states America’s Promise Team Chair Mary Jo Woodarek. “There are so many children that need these items to enhance their learning experience. CCB is pleased to offer area schools help in this way. Please look for the wagon and donate supplies. Without the proper school supplies, some children may not have the same opportunity others enjoy.” “America’s Promise” members help to ensure that children receive the five resources they need:
An ongoing relationship with a caring adult-mentor; Access to safe places & structured activities during non-school hours; A healthy start; A marketable skill through effective education; An opportunity to give back through community service. CCB is an FDIC insured New York State chartered independent, community bank. From Jan. 2, 1902, CCB has established an unprecedented record of fiscal integrity and sound financial growth, which now totals over 185 million in assets. CCB maintains convenient ATMs and can be found on the web at www. ccblv.com. CCB is an equal housing lender. CCB’s main office is located in Little Valley.

Carlton Matthews Jr. Carlton Matthews Jr., 74, of Ellicottville, New York passed away peacefully in his home surrounded by his family on Tuesday, August 6, 2013. Born in Buffalo, New York in 1939 to Carlton and Peggy Matthews, he lived most of his life in Ellicottville. Carl graduated from Penn State University in 1962 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Psychology. Carl’s love of the outdoors brought him to Ellicottville in 1970 where he established the Carl Matthews Plumbing business. He left his mark throughout the village of Ellicottville and the valley that he loved as the plumbing contractor for many condo complexes and numerous homes, and had the vision to restore and relocate the original Ellicottville Depot to its current location. Carl will always be
remembered by his numerous friends and his family for his love of adventure and “work hard/play hard” attitude toward life. He was an avid skier and hiker who enjoyed competing in mountain bike and endurance motorcycle racing. Carl was the loving husband to his best friend and wife of 20 years Pam (Neal); proud father of Suzanne (Thomas) Dunkleman of Bellevue,
Nebraska and Elizabeth (Sean) Lowes of Ellicottville; and loving grandfather to Heidi, Erin, Matthew, Rachel, and William Dunkleman. He is predeceased by his brother James of Indian Harbour Beach, Florida and his beloved pets George, Max, Sammy, Ben, and Zoe. The family will receive friends on Friday, August 9, 2013 from 4:00 to 8:00 PM at the Mentley/O’Rourke Funeral home, 411 Rock City Street, Little Valley, New York. A service will be held at the funeral home on Saturday, August 10, 2013 at 11:00 AM. Memorial donations may be made in Carl’s name to the SPCA in Cattaraugus County, P.O. Box 375, Olean, New York 14760 (www.spcacattco. webstarts.com).
Health & Fitness: Your Body is Your Best Investment by Kim Logel
Your body is your most important investment in life, and fortunately, it is something you have control over. So often, an injury or health scare is what will get you thinking of a better health and fitness regime. Why wait for that injury/ health crisis to occur? Start now and minimize the risk of problems in the future. In most of my articles, I stress consistency. Exercise and proper nutrition is not something you should have to fit in to your lifestyle … it should BE your lifestyle. A healthy body sets the stage for your day-to-day well-being and supports the aging process. Maintaining fitness through good nutrition and exercise promotes efficient circulation, digestion and musculoskeletal strength. This allows you to live an active life, and a healthy immune system helps you ward off disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, healthy body benefits extend to mood elevation and greater mental alertness, as well as reduced chronic disease risk. When you keep your metabolism working well, you enjoy greater energy and fewer aches and pains.
By Kim Duke neta & afaa Certified Trainer
Adequate vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, fatty acids and carbohydrates are needed to facilitate all of your body processes. Nightly rest periods allow your body to repair cells and perform other maintenance activities. A sleep or dietary deficiency can deprive your body of these essentials and create fatigue. Getting enough nutrition, on the other hand, leaves you mentally and physically sharp. Regular exercise utilizes your healthy bones, muscles, heart and lungs, preparing them to meet daily demands. When your body reaches a consistent plateau of health, it is more likely to hold up under unusual stress and less likely to give way to infection. A daily fitness program that incorporates aerobic exercise
and strengthening of the bones and major muscle group helps you avoid pulled muscles, joint sprains and bone fractures. Along with a diet rich in vitamin C, restful sleep supports your immune system. The National Sleep Foundation reports that you are less susceptible to colds and flu if you don’t have a sleep deficit, especially if you are an older adult. Staying fit means less downtime and more time moving and burning calories to help maintain your weight. According to the American Heart Association, 30 minutes of moderate exercise on most days of the week will help to balance your calorie intake from an average healthy diet. Eating low-fat foods that have strong vitamin, mineral and fiber content will help you control your weight as they encourage a healthy cardiovascular system. There are so many excellent reasons to be fit and healthy, and I truly cannot think of one reason the alternative is a better choice for anyone. Fitness programs can be as simple as walking and as vigorous as a cross-fit workout. Whatever gets your body moving, right? Nike has the right motto, “Just Do It!” Your body will thank you for it.
Plans Underway for Audubon’s Monarch Butterfly Festival JAMESTOWN, NY — A not-to-be-missed highlight of the summer offerings at Jamestown’s Audubon Center & Sanctuary is the Monarch Butterfly Festival. Falling on Aug. 31, the Saturday of Labor Day Weekend, the festival presents a delightful was to celebrate the holiday weekend. “Despite a huge drop in the monarch population, we have caterpillars we are raising that will be ready for the festival,” noted Audubon Senior Naturalist Jeff Tome. Tome said that from 10 a.m.–4 p.m. on that Saturday, Audubon’s auditorium will be transformed into a garden of wildflowers with butterflies flying about. Visitors will be fascinated by monarchs in every stage of their life cycle, from tiny eggs through the caterpillar, chrysalis, and beautiful butterflies. Tiny eggs will be on display along with caterpillars of all sizes. Visitors can watch experts tagging the butterflies with stickers. At 4 p.m., the butterflies will be released to fly to Mexico, where their tags will help scientists track the migration of this rapidly dwindling species. Other activities include butterfly crafts for kids, photo opportunities with humansized cutouts of a monarch
butterfly and a caterpillar, tours of Audubon’s butterfly garden, and a plant sale aimed at getting more milkweed, the only food of monarch caterpillars, into the community. Volunteers will help children and adults use insect nets outside to catch, identify and release butterflies on Audubon’s grounds. There will also be great food, and butterfly related items — including T-shirts — will be featured in the Nature Store. Admission is $7, $5 for Friends of the Nature Center; two and under are free. The Audubon Center and Sanctuary is at 1600 Riverside Rd., one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown, N.Y., and Warren, Pa. The center’s building, with a nature store and exhibits of live fish, reptiles, amphibians and more, and outdoors its five miles of trails, Bald Eagle viewing, arboretum, and gardens are open daily. This event is made possible by the dedication of volunteers, several of whom are registered with RSVP, the Retired Senior Volunteer Program. Festival sponsors to date
are Herbs R 4 U, Phoenix Metal, United Refining, King’s Heating and Sheet Metal, and Lena’s Pizza. A T-shirt sale will raise additional funds for Audubon. Details of the Monarch Festival are at http:// monarchbutterflyfestival. wordpress.com.

“The Light in the Ruins� by Chris Bohjalian From the New York Times bestselling author of Midwives and The Sandcastle Girls comes a spellbinding novel of love, despair, and revenge—set in war-ravaged Tuscany. 1943: Tucked away in the idyllic hills south of Florence, the Rosatis, an Italian family of noble lineage, believe that the walls of their ancient villa will keep them safe from the war raging across Europe. Eighteen-year-old Cristina spends her days swimming in the pool, playing with her young niece and nephew, and wandering aimlessly amid the estate’s gardens and olive groves. But when two soldiers, a German and an Italian, arrive at the villa asking to see an ancient Etruscan burial site, the Rosatis’ bucolic tranquility is shattered. A young German lieutenant begins to court Cristina, the Nazis descend upon the estate demanding hospitality, and what was once their sanctuary becomes their prison. 1955: Serafina Bettini, an investigator with the Florence police department, has her own demons. A beautiful woman, Serafina carefully hides her scars along with her haunting memories of the war. But when she is assigned to a gruesome new case—a serial killer targeting the Rosatis, murdering the remnants of the family one-by-one in cold blood—Serafina finds herself digging into a past that involves both the victims and her own tragic history. Set against an exquisitely rendered Italian countryside, The Light in the Ruins unveils a breathtaking story of moral paradox, human frailty, and the mysterious ways of the heart.

he said. It also features an exhibitionstyle bakery at the front of the house that allows guests to watch and smell the freshly baked goodies as they’re being prepared. The restaurant has been in the planning stages for a couple of years, but construction of the building, which also will house four, two-bedroom furnished apartments on the second floor and an additional 1,200 square feet of retail space on the first floor, is now well underway. The focus is to get the restaurant and drive-through open by fall. The apartments
should be completed in time for seasonal or long-term rental in December and the retail space will be built out once tenant(s) have signed leases. Miranda also reports that Five Star Bank will be installing a drive-through ATM on the north side of the building. “This project has been a long time coming, so we’re excited that it’s nearing completion,� said Miranda. “We think it will be a great addition to Ellicottville, providing more variety and options throughout the day and night, especially for travelers and our very loyal
coffee lovers.� It also will be a boon for fulltime and part-time employment in the area. Miranda expects to hire 35–40 people to staff the restaurant, and the company already is actively interviewing for supervisory and staff positions. “We’ll train people at our Salamanca, Springville, Arcade and Gowanda locations to prepare for opening,� he said.

A BBQ LOVER’S FANTASY
AT
ALLEGANY ROCKIN’ RIBFEST
BY JEFF MARTIN
A year ago Saturday, I rolled into Western New York to start yet another new life, and my T-shirt was still stained with the faint glow of Kansas City barbeque. And since that f irst day of my arrival, it’s been a rough transition — at least when it comes to food. Oh, there have been memories for the photo album: a smattering of mouthwatering wings and New York-style pizza, the latter some of the best I have ever tasted in my 40 years of life on earth. Wings? I’ve learned which restaurants to avoid and which to embrace. And how could I forget hot dogs, a culinary endeavor which the good people of WNY have mastered the same way Kansas Citians have mastered BBQ. Two weeks after my arrival, I tried the BBQ and, well, I was a bit disappointed. The meat was somewhat tough and the sauce wasn’t as tang y as I typically liked it. I gave up. But wait! What’s that? Driving to work one day, I spotted a sig n on the corner of Route 353 and Broadway Road outside Gowanda. The word “ribsâ€? caught my eye, as well as the funnily dressed pig painted on the wooden plank. The Allegany Rockin’ Ribfest rolls into Salamanca on Aug. 16 through Aug. 18 at Veterans Memorial Park. Could it be? Could the BBQ gods above be bestowing an event whose very lanes between the booths are paved with BBQ sauce? I called my friend Brian, a native whom I met when I f irst arrived here. “What’s this rib event like, the one down in Salamanca?â€? “Last year was the f irst year they had it,â€? he said. “Not bad. Festivals like that ‌ the people behind it, they learn as they go.â€? A brief glance at this year’s line-up includes, as always when it comes to BBQ teams, some zany names: Smokin’ Joe’s Hog Wild Barbeque, Wells Hog Wild, Oink’s BBQ Co. Heck, if the food doesn’t hook you, maybe the names of teams will, as is evidence above. Returning to defend their title from last year is Two Fat Guys BBQ. I’m wondering what kind of smoking vessel teams will utilize in order to cook their food. I’ve seen it all. I’ve seen a team, clad in plastic pig snouts, shoveling brisket into the fuselage of a gutted Cessna plane. “I saw some cool smokers last year,â€? Brian said of the Salamanca event. “Nothing like the ones you’ve told me about.â€? There’s time. It takes a while for festivals to establish an identity, a sig nature that people from around the area — even the country — recog nize. In Kansas City, smokers from around the country descend on the downtown for the annual American Royal contest, the Olympics of BBQ competition. Cooks at the Allegany Rockin’ Ribfest will compete in categories including best sauce, best pulled pork, best ribs. Judg ing will take place at 2 p.m. on Saturday and trophies awarded at 3 p.m. In addition to food, there will also be a car and bike show, live music, a parade and kid zone, unique offerings unlike anything I’ve encountered at other BBQ shows. The car show is new this year and there is a fee for entering the contest. Forms can be found at www. salamancachamber.org or by calling (716) 945-2034. Bands, cooking up some hot blues music, will play throughout the weekend. There’s the Spirit of Johnny Cash, the Bob Hartle Band and West of the Mark, Freddie and the Jets, the Blues Hounds, as well as the Allegany River Indian Dancers — which, by the way, I’d heard of way out in Kansas City. A prevalent tribe in the Midwest, the Osage, had an Indian festival and some of the organizers talked about the Seneca. The parade will be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, and those interested in participating in the parade should contact Donna Raahauge at (716) 945-4588. Best of all, the event is free every day. Parking inside the gate is $5, but that’s the extent of it. For more information about the event, visit www.salamancachamber.org or call the chamber at (716) 945-2034.

an easy way to access local businesses, schools, the library, government offices, parks, area resorts and other destinations. The project has been in the works for more than a year. Since early June 2013, members of the EllicottvilleGreat Valley Trail Committee have been working diligently to prepare a major grant application for a $2 million Transportation Enhancement Program (TEP) grant from the New York State Department of Transportation. In May of 2013, the committee hired landscape architect Rick Manning of Ithaca to design the master plan for the trail project. Manning has been working closely with Town Engineer and committee member Mark Alianello, Kate O’Striker, Ken Hinman and Jennie Acklin. Ellicottville Town Supervisor John Burrell contacted grant writer Lynda Stephens to aid the process, and the group began working together to prepare the project details for the TEP application due by Aug. 16, 2013. The master plan for the trail outlines the entire proposed project. The first phase of the Ellicottville-Great Valley Trail comprises three sections. The first section is a onemile section of off-road, multiuse trail linking the Ellicottville Central School campus on Route 219 to the existing sidewalk network at Holiday Valley Road. The second section, the “complete street� section that runs between Holiday Valley Road and Mechanic Street, is made up of on-road bikeways and improved sidewalks. The third section is a multiuse trail along Mechanic Street and Parkside Drive to the Town Center Building (former Cooperative Extension building), providing linkages to the Ellicottville Memorial Library and the Village Park.
The committee will continue to develop additional phases of the trail once the TEP application is submitted. A fundraising campaign to pay for planning, as well as future maintenance of the trail, will become a major focus now that the master plan is nearing completion. Residents and visitors are encouraged to help build the trail with a tax-deductible donation. To date, over $27,000 has been raised by private and business donations. Please consider making your tax-deductible donation online at www.cattfoundation.org, or mail your check payable to: Community Foundation/ Ellicottville-Great Valley Trail Fund, c/o Cattaraugus Region Community Foundation, 120
N. Union St., Olean NY 14760. Every dollar makes a difference and is greatly appreciated. The Ellicottville-Great Valley Trail will connect people young and old throughout the community, while keeping them active and close to nature. Whatever type of donation you can make will help make the vision a reality. For more information, visit and “like� the trail’s Facebook page (Facebook.com/EVLTrail) or call Jennie Acklin at (716) 699-4062 or Ken Hinman at (716) 474-8214.
