You Can Make a Difference at Relay for Life By Jann Wiswall
Great Valley’s Priscilla Snider is a lot of things to a lot of people. She’s a parent, a spouse, a caseworker with the Cattaraugus County Youth Bureau, a winter-weekend customer service employee at Holiday Valley’s Creekside Lodge, and for 16 years, a volunteer with the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life program. This year, she’s also the Ellicottville Relay for Life’s Honorary Cancer Survivor.
© 2013 KEYSTONE DESIGNERS
Snider got involved with Olean’s Relay for Life as a team member in 1997 because it sounded like a lot of fun and it was for a great cause. When Ellicottville’s program started, she moved to the Holiday Valley Helpers team, and she’s now that team’s captain, as well as a member of the organizing committee. In February 2012, when she was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, Snider was serving as team captain, working at her jobs, and getting chemotherapy and radiation therapy at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo. The goal of her treatment was to reduce the size of the tumor and it was successful. A week before the 2012 Relay, her surgeon said she would need to operate to remove the remaining mass. But in true Snider fashion, Snider asked if she could wait until after the Relay. The surgeon agreed, and See Relay for Life page 3

By Jann Wiswall
It’s been a long and successful journey for the six ECS 11th and 12th grade students and their

coaches who took their Odyssey of the Mind skit on the road to Michigan State University last weekend to compete in the program’s World Finals. For every team member, the journey began five or even 10 years ago when they first participated in the OM program at ECS. “Getting to finals is what we’ve been striving for all these years,” says Izzy Brown, who started OM in the second grade. The ECS team, composed of seniors Eric Oliverio and Patrick Snyder and juniors Isabella Brown, McKenzie Robinson, Emily Timkey and Chris Wojtowicz, was coached by Caitlyn Keller and assistant coach Megan Westfall, another junior. They created a humorous performance that addressed a problem called “It’s How You Look at It.” Teams were instructed to show how a character See Odyssey page 2

Federal Funding Approved Route 219 Bridge Span Remains Open with 15-Ton Limit
By Jesse Mast
Federal funding has been approved for the replacement of the former Route 219 bridge over Cattaraugus Creek, New York State Department of Transportation Commissioner Joan McDonald announced last week. This announcement follows the temporary closure of the
bridge dge in January 2012 due to structural concerns discovered during the bridge’s annual
inspection. The bridge, which is on South Cascade Drive in Concord and Miller Road in Ashford, underwent emergency repairs of its frozen bearings and reopened a few months later. Due to concerns relating to the bridge’s influence on the local economy, the NYSDOT expedited the repairs and the

odd or out of place. ECS performed the skit in front of a dozen judges at the competition. They were one of 55 teams competing for top honors on this problem in their age group and took 21st place. Thousands of teams from throughout the U.S. and 25 other countries participated in all. “They had the best performance we’ve seen in all these months and months of practice,” said Colleen Bower, the 2012-13 OM coordinator
and a kindergarten teacher at ECS. Keller added, “They weren’t nervous at all. They were ready. And they had the judges and the audience laughing. What more could you ask?” The three-day event in Michigan was a whirlwind of activity, the students agreed. Pat Snyder was selected by the team to represent the school in the opening ceremony, which was a huge production that seemed like the opening of the Olympics, Snyder observed.
There were lots of opportunities to meet students from all over the country and the world, and everyone spent a lot of time trading state/ country pins as keepsakes. The team worked the New York booth at the Creativity Festival, attended the Float and Banner Parade and had fun at a teen party with hundreds of other kids. Another highlight was that they not only met OM founder “Dr. Sam” Micklus, but he watched several performances with them and
told them about how he got OM started. “The whole event was huge and a little overwhelming,” said Brown, and the others agreed. “The MSU campus is bigger than all of Ellicottville,” marveled Oliverio. Overall, the students agree that OM has been an important part of their education at ECS. For Robinson, it has been a “life-changing” experience. The creative problem they addressed, “It’s How You Look
at It,” was not just a skit to these six students. They really learned from it. Meeting people from all over the world taught them firsthand that people’s perspectives change depending on where they are. “Everyone’s unique,” said Robinson, “but they’re also much the same. Circumstances are everything.” “This was the perfect problem for this group,” said Bower. “They expressed it beautifully in their skit and they’ve grown as people as a result of what they’ve learned.”

two days after a great event, she had the surgery. “I don’t really know why, but I wasn’t scared to tell people about my situation,” said Snider, whose positive attitude and outlook is simply contagious. “I had a lot of friends, family and supporters cheering me on at last year’s Relay and I can tell you from experience that that makes a huge difference.” “There are plenty of folks who don’t step forward as survivors,” she said. “That is a very personal decision. Really, I don’t like a lot of attention being focused on me, but somehow I felt comfortable sharing what was going on early in the process. I credit my experience with Relay for that.” Ellicottville’s Relay for Life is not just a one-day event. It takes months of planning and organizing, and the 13 teams and 96 team members involved this year have been raising funds all spring. But the big event is this Saturday, June 1

The program begins with an opening ceremony at noon and the survivor’s lap – where survivors in attendance, most wearing purple T-shirts, walk amidst cheers and applause. The teams take over and continue walking until midnight. Throughout the day, there are plenty of events for the entire community to enjoy, including a chicken BBQ and tons of other dining selections, a live auction, games for the kids, a DJ spinning tunes and much more. The most moving and beautiful event, by all accounts, is the Luminaria Ceremony, which honors loved ones who have survived or lost their battles with cancer by lighting candles that are placed in decorated bags. The ceremony begins at 9:30 p.m. “Relay is a great example of how grassroots efforts make an impact,” said Snider. “You just don’t realize how much you’re helping when you buy some great BBQ chicken and throw a
few bucks on a raffle or game. That’s why it’s so important for the entire community to come by and show its support.” “You know, after all these years being involved in Relay, it certainly is different walking in the Survivor Lap and wearing a purple T, but what an honor!” said Snider, who is being followed regularly by her oncologist in Olean. “I have been very fortunate in my cancer journey, and I recognize that everyone doesn’t have the same experience. But each day at radiation, I thanked God for the technology available for treatment, and for the expertise of the medical personnel, and for organizations like the American Cancer Society. I’ve met some wonderful people throughout the entire process, and hope everyone will come out and support us this Saturday.” For more information, visit www.relayforlife.org.

For cycling fanatics of all ages and all skill levels, the annual Raccoon Rally Cycling Festival is the place to be June 29-30. The weekend-long event will be held at Allegany State Park’s Camp Allegany, inside the Red House area. Allegany State Park Manager Gary Quattrone said the Raccoon Rally has been held at the state park since the early 1990s, and people come “from all over” to participate. Not only is it a good time for the athletes, the event is beneficial for the park as well, as many people stay in cabins and campsites and “spend the weekend,” Quattrone said. The action begins Saturday at 9:30 a.m. with a road race sanctioned by USA Cycling. Cyclists in this race will share state park roads with other vehicles in a 25-mile circuit.
ASP recently held its annual GeoBash event, where people from all over gathered to geocache, an activity that involves locating hidden boxes using GPS coordinates. Similar to geocaching, but less high tech, is letterboxing. Letterboxing uses the same idea of searching for secret boxes, but instead of using a GPS to find the boxes, one prints out clues from websites. Some clues are easy to follow (find the tree stump on your left and look inside) while others might be vague (look for the area in the woods where two branches intertwine), but in any case, the journey and never knowing what you’ll find at the end are the fun parts. With miles of hiking trails, and such a variety of terrain, ASP is a perfect place to conceal and find letterboxes. With a little preparation, you can have an outdoor activity right at your fingertips and get some exercise in the process. Really, the only things you need besides the printed clues are a small notebook, a pen or marker and a stamp with ink. When you arrive at the box and open it, there will be a notebook inside, usually sealed inside a plastic bag to protect it from the elements. The notebook contains the names of all the people who have found this particular box. Sign your name (or use your stamp)
Did You Know? Allegany State Park has 364 cabins for rent that range from one room, non-electric cabins, to furnished cottages with full bathrooms. Cabins must be rented for a minimum of seven nights from June 22 through August 25, and a minimum of two nights the rest of the year. Reservations can be made as early as nine months in advance at www.reservamerica.com.

and include the date. It’s fun looking through the notebook to see how many others have found this same box and how long it’s been around. It’s amazing to see that some of these boxes have remained unharmed and intact for years. The box will also include a stamp, some store bought and some handmade out of rubber. Stamp your own notebook so you have a record of the letterboxes you’ve found. It’s nice to include the date so you can remember when you were there. In addition to the notebook, most letterboxes contain a variety of small trinkets ranging from small toys to Mardi Gras beads to quarters. The idea is that you put something into the box and then take something out as a souvenir. When you’re done writing in the letterbox notebook and stamping your own notebook, be sure to package everything up just the way you found it and put it back in exactly the same spot so that other letterboxers can find it. There are various web sites out there to receive your letterboxing clues, and you can search them by city, state, or specific key words. Here is a sampling of letterboxes found in ASP, from www. letterboxing.org: Beehunter Stingers Go to the Red House side of Allegany State Park. Across
the street from Red House Lake is the start of the Beehunter hiking trail. The entrance is by a large tree that was struck by lightning. Take the trail up the hill about 1/4 mile. You will pass some fallen trees and lowlying lines crossing over top of you (as if a storm blew through this one section and knocked down everything in its path). When the trail starts to turn left at the top of the hill, look to a couple fallen trees on the left of the trail. Inside the trunk of the tree, you will find your prize. Celtic Crossing Reprise Drive until you find the entrance to Diehl Camp and Cabins. Park near the entrance. Begin your hike up the trail passing an apple tree, several tent sites and cabins. Soon you will reach the Diehl Bathhouse. Now continue on the trail until you find a creek crossing. When you reach the other side of the bridge, you will see a few trees off to the left and before you reach the first cabin. In the exposed roots of a tree and behind a flat rock that leans against the tree, you will find a Celtic surprise waiting for you. Please replace all items in their zipped bags and close the container tightly. And don’t forget to place it back under the roots and replace the rock.

What To Do in ASP: Letterboxing By Alicia Dziak
The growing season in western New York is underway and that means fresh vegetables, fruit, and other local food products will soon appear at area farmers markets. This season there are more farmers markets than ever in the Southern Tier Region with 16 different farmers markets in Allegany, Cattaraugus and Chautauqua counties. Farmers markets are an ideal way for consumers to meet the farmer and buy food directly from the producers, to learn helpful storage tips, get new recipe ideas and meet other community members during market days. The USDA reports that the number of farmers markets in the U.S. has reached an all-time high of over 7,800 markets. This reflects the national and local trends in higher demands
One-day USAC licenses for the race may be obtained onsite. Cyclists opting for more rugged terrain may be interested in mountain bike events throughout the weekend. Mountain bike trials will be held Saturday morning at Thunder Rocks. Cyclists of varying classes, including Beginner, Sport, Expert and Pro, will test out their skill against the unrelenting rocks. The mountain bike trials begin at 10 a.m. Thunder Rocks is located five miles from Camp Allegany off ASP Route 2. Mountain bike events continue Sunday with a crosscountry race along the Art Roscoe Trail. The hilly trail is sure to be a challenge for Beginner and Expert classes alike. The Beginner class race is 13 miles and begins at 10

Route 219 Bridge Continued from Front Page
bridge reopened ahead of schedule However, the bridge, which was constructed in 1956, is simply past “its useful life,� according to NYSDOT Public Information Officer Susan Surdej. Even with the construction of the Southern Expressway twin arch bridges in 2010, the bridge on former Route 219 has remained of great importance for local businesses as a passage between Cattaraugus and Erie counties. “We understand [the bridge] is a vital conduit for commerce,� said Surdej. “For years the residents and businesses of Springville and northern Cattaraugus County have made their sentiments known that the old Route 219 Bridge is more than a viaduct connecting two counties,� said Senator Patrick Gallivan. Replacement of the bridge will come as a welcome relief to local residents and businesses that rely heavily on the access the bridge provides. “While divided by Cattaraugus Creek, southern Erie and Cattaraugus counties
are, in many ways, one community,� said Congressman Christopher Collins, according to a May 20 press release from NYSDOT. “The former Route 219 Bridge is critical to this dynamic. Its replacement will ensure safe and convenient travel will occur between these two counties for a long time to come to the benefit of the local economy. This is an appropriate use of federal tax dollars and I look forward to the completion of this project.� Representative Tom Reed commented, “During a meeting with highway commissioners just last month, we discussed the Route 219 project and its prospects. Today, thanks to successful partnerships with local, state and federal partners, we are pleased to join in recognizing that funds will ensure safe, reliable transportation for all who use the 219 corridor.� The full cost of the project is not yet determined, but Surdej said the federal funding is planned to cover the entire cost to replace the bridge. “At this time approximately $11.5 million has been
allocated,� said Surdej. Senator Catharine Young said, “The long-term prospects for the bridge were in doubt, and we worked with Governor Cuomo to secure its future. It was a huge relief to small businesses and residents when it reopened after repairs, and now rebuilding the bridge is tremendously important to our economy and quality of life.� Assemblyman Joseph Giglio agreed that replacement of the bridge is “critically important.� The project is currently in preliminary design and work is scheduled to begin in 2015. Because of the bridge’s importance to the surrounding communities, Surdej said that in time more information would become available. This will include a public meeting in which people may hear their concerns addressed. “The community will be well-informed throughout the process,� Surdej said. In the meantime, the bridge remains open, with a posted maximum weight of 15 tons. “The bridge is absolutely safe,� Surdej said

Senator Honors Francie Potter Continued from Front Page
Francie was born in Ann Arbor Michigan. She lived there for 20 years and attended the University of Michigan, where she met her husband, Bob. In 1956, they moved to Allegany where Bob was from so they could both help with the family business, Potter Lumber Company. Three of her children now run the business, which has been in family hands for over 100 years. Francie and Bob had six children together, and as they became involved in activities, Francie became involved in supporting them. In what she calls her “first gig,” Francie was the president of the Parent Teacher Association at Allegany School District. Several of her children began ski racing competitively at the Wing Hollow Ski Area, which pulled Francie into the Niagara Frontier Ski Council as a board member. This group was
charged with governing the ski races that took place in WNY. Because of her husband’s love of cars, Francie helped run the Allegheny Valley Sportscar Association. She held the title of secretary and wrote and edited their monthly newsletters. She also helped organize their monthly rallies. Francie was also a board member and past president of the Mental Health Association in Cattaraugus County. This group ran summer camps and care services, and they provided support for those with mental illness. She is the current president of the Allegany Area Historical Association, having held the position for the last 15 years. In addition, she is a trustee and the editor of the association’s newsletter. In this role, she also serves as the chair of Allegany Heritage Days, a yearly festival with vendors and entertainment
that coincides with the Allegany School District’s reunions. She has been a parishioner at St. Bonaventure Church in Allegany for over 55 years and served as a trustee for 14 years. She is currently a lector and Eucharistic minister. Francie served on the board of the Jamestown Community College Foundation for 14 years. She also served on the board of the Olean Child Development Center, which provides after-school and allday programs and classes for children. She has been a volunteer at the Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts at St. Bonaventure for the last 18 years and often gives tours to school groups. Francie could not attend the event in Albany, so a ceremony will be held in the 57th Senate District in the upcoming months to honor her.

“Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. I’m sure you know who I am either from that doctored photo of me smoking crack cocaine on the front page of the Toronto Star or from my mug shot taken after I was caught drinking and driving in Florida, which was a long time ago and also a malicious lie. My supporters of Toronto City Hall, okay then, my brother Doug, has urged me to address the many allegations brought against me, mostly from those goat-humpers at that scum-sucking, pinko rag they call the Toronto Star. Since I was elected mayor, I have been accused of insulting gays by not attending two Pride Parades, of tearing up a brand new bike lane, of several conflicts of interest, of attempting to get city employees to do roadwork in front of my family’s business, of dodging the public weighin for my “Cut The Waist” campaign at the same time as I was photographed coming out of Kentucky Fried Chicken with two bags of take-out, of being so intoxicated at the Canadian Armed Forces Garrison Ball that I was asked to leave the premises, of attending high school football practices instead of important council meetings, of commandeering a city bus to transport my football team, of reading city documents while driving my car, of being drunk or high or both at an official city function and while there, grabbing a woman’s ass. Let me say, once and for all, that I have never read city documents while operating a motorized vehicle. I was merely scanning the comics section of the Toronto Star, which is the only thing in that ridiculous, piece of crap tabloid worth looking at. Now about that video that apparently shows me smoking crack cocaine with some jumped-up drug dealer. Well, me and Doug had a really good laugh over that one because it’s
actually a Saturday Night Live sketch with Eddie Murphy and Chris Farley who, as you know, is a dead ringer for me. So when Saturday Night Live satirizes you, well, I’m flattered.” Reporter: “But Mr. Mayor, Eddie Murphy left the show in 1984.” Mayor: “Really?” Reporter: “And Chris Farley has been dead for over 15 years.” Mayor: “Are you sure? Because my brother Doug didn’t tell me that part of the story. Okay, well if the video shows me referring to players on my football team as f-----minorities, if I’m such a racist, why would I be partying and smoking dope with some guy from Syria?” Reporter: “Somalia.” Mayor: “Syria, Somalia. Windsor, Winnipeg. What’s the difference?” Reporter: “Did you also call Justin Trudeau a ‘fag’ on the video?” Mayor: “I did not. That’s just more hateful falsehood printed by those crayonsnapping maggots in the media particularly that slimy, bottom-feeding, bird-crapped cage liner they call the Toronto Star. In fact, because I couldn’t think of the word ‘weasel’ I called Justin Trudeau a ‘ferret’ not a ‘faggot.’ And I apologize for that.” Reporter: ‘Sir, were you or were you not smoking a crack cocaine pipe in that video?” Mayor: “As you know, I suffer from a rare form of inoperable weight gain known as KFC. My doctor referred me to a homeopathic healer from Syria, sorry, Somalia who treats this disorder by inhaling the burning leaves of hawthorn from a sacred healing pipe and that’s what me and Dr. Smith were doing in the video, if in fact there is a video and that is in fact his name which sounds kind of fishy.”
By William Thomas Reporter: “Mr. Mayor, Dr. Smith, as you call, him was actually a drug dealer by the name of Anthony Smith from Somalia.” Mayor: “Well, I never saw his medical certificate, but I did notice he had a lot of prescription pads.” Reporter: “He was shot and killed outside a Toronto nightclub seven months ago.” Mayor: “Well my thoughts and prayers … are you sure because just yesterday … never mind.” Reporter: “For the last time, Mr. Mayor, was that you smoking crack cocaine on that video?” Mayor: “Okay. Yes. Yes it was. I want to be honest and transparent with the good citizens of my city of Toronto, and I take full responsibility for my behavior in the video as well as those photographs of me published on the front page of that puke-swallowing, lameass, horse-bun fondling cheat sheet they call the Toronto Star. But I did it for you. Just as some of my colleagues have slept on the street overnight to really know what it feels like to be homeless, I too needed to know what it means to be a crack addict in this city and …” Reporter: “Sir, do you really expect us to believe that?” Mayor: “Well yeah, I even robbed a tourist from Buffalo in order to support my crack habit!” Reporter: “Mr. Mayor, your nose is like out to here!” Mayor: “Okay, after I crushed my nasal passage playing football, I require regular inhaling sessions with …” Reporter: “Sir, please!” Mayor: “Okay, then if you really want the honest truth, it was Mike Duffy smoking dope in that video! Yeah, and you can read all about it in tomorrow’s edition of that freakin’ psycho, two-ply paper trail they call the Toronto Star.”
The Cure for Boredom: Summer Art Camps
The Cattaraugus County Arts Council (CCAC) is pleased to announce new summer art camps for youth ages 4–18. These classes are designed to foster creativity and artistic self-expression through fun and engaging sessions. With targeted age ranges and small group sizes, individualized attention is ensured in a safe and creative environment. Supplies are included in the new, affordable price of $65 per week of classes. Executive Director Anne Conroy-Baiter commented, “CCAC truly believes in making art accessible to all children. Our new pricing structure allows more children to take classes, which serves the mission of the arts council and our vision of improving quality of life across the region.” CCAC’s summer camps will allow students to explore drawing, printmaking, papermaking, theater, poetry, art history, ceramic wheel throwing and more. Classes are $65 for five days of camp, with the exception of the Wheel
Throwing Camp (July 8 -12) and Like a Master art history camp (Aug. 3, 10, 17 and 24) that are each $85.

Arts education has shown to “strengthens problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, adding to overall academic achievement and school
success. It also develops a sense of craftsmanship, quality task performance, and goalsetting — skills needed to succeed in the classroom and beyond.” — Americans for the Arts, 2002 Parents with siblings close in age are encouraged to contact CCAC for exceptions to the age guidelines. Students in grades 9-12 are also eligible for the adult series of classes. All classes are held at CCAC’s studio at 100 West Main St., Allegany. For full descriptions of each class, age ranges, and to register, please visit www.myartscouncil.net or call Courtney Blackmon at (716) 372-7455.

Connections: Little Rock City Centuries in the Making
BY JEFF MARTIN
Leave it to me to f ind a local place of interest in spring but feels like the dead of winter. Well, there was sunlight so that helped. As we traveled out of Little Valley on Route 353 toward Salamanca, just beyond the turn that takes you into Ellicottville, we found Whig Street and hung a left. We followed the lassoshaped roads, past farms and trailers and a spectacular A-frame home that overlooked the valley. Our destination? Little Rock City, a geolog ic landmark north of Rock City State Forest. Accessible in the spring, summer and fall by vehicle, you have to walk to the cluster of rock formations that many believe were formed by glaciers during the last ice age. With sunlight streaming through the pines and melting the snow cover enough that we could walk atop its surface, we came across the rocks — boulders, really, that emerged from the g round like the throw rocks of g iants. One boulder seemed to thrust its massive forehead out into the narrow road. I’d heard about this place many times from locals when I f irst moved to the area last summer. I was already familiar with exploring rock outcroppings in Missouri, specif ically a cluster of them that the famed Jesse James, a Missouri native, used as a hide out and a location where he and his gang hid “booty.” If you were thin enough, you could slip be- tween the limestone rocks and ascend to their tops where, f lat as a cookie sheet. You could stand and look across the valley of cottonwood and sycamore trees as Midwest scrub and thickets. The terrain is different here in Western New York, as are the rocks. We walked up into the center of Little Rock City and ate lunch beside the g iant boulders. Measuring 40 feet high, some of the boulders offered shelter. The sun was warm and, avoiding the shade, we were quite warm. Flitting from one rock ledge to another was a red-winged black bird, an encourag ing sig n of spring. Hawks, or accipiters as I refer to them, coasted overhead in the clear sky. Pulling out my pocket stove, small enough to f it in a small pack, I boiled some water in a small pan and made Ramen noodles. We feasted on handfuls of peanuts, too, and an orange each. Finishing lunch, we wandered between the massive stones, which are nothing more than the result of hundreds of years of sediment deposit worn by the earth’s hot and cold breath, its rain and snow. The nonresistant and resistant sediment centuries ago began to separate and left the boulders we now see. For an afternoon adventure, Little Rock City is a simple experience created by a complex process. Why do these scenarios and environs fascinate me so much? Most people demand manufactured experiences (the mall, plazas, sports games, video game palaces), but my palate is for those places we as human beings had no hand in making. We found one boulder that, after a brief ascent, offered a ledge upon which we could lay straight as a plank and stare at the hard ceiling. We left about three hours later. We would walk down the road that I later learned were created by the Civilian Conservation Corps, President Roosevelt’s team that helped create many of the nation’s parks during the Great Depression. There is history in every corner. Be it boulder, be it roadway — we carve stories in every place so as to understand and enjoy this earth. (You can contact Jeff Martin at jwmartin38@g mail.com.)

Simply Food By Liz Bares
Leek Biscuits As a kid, I recall going to the Westline Inn Leek Festival in Westline, Pa. I ran around all over the woods while my parents gorged on leeks and a few beers. Unfortunately, I have missed the festival in the past few years. Foraging for leeks is great springtime fun. You can smell
a leek patch from a few hundred feet, so they are fairly easy to spot. A typical growing area is on a hillside with moist soil or near streams. Leeks are mostly harvested in April, however since our spring was so cold and snowy, there are still some out there to be found.
The following recipe is a basic biscuit dough with the addition of leeks. You could use these biscuits as a sandwich with ham or smoked turkey. Delicious!
Leek Biscuits ¾ cup cold buttermilk ¾ cup thinly sliced leeks (aka ramps — go ahead and slice everything — bulb, stem and greens) 1 ½ cups flour 2 teaspoons baking powder ¾ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon black pepper 6 tablespoons COLD unsalted butter, cut into cubes 1 large egg (beaten, using it as glaze) 1/8 teaspoon ground coriander Directions: Heat oven to 425 degrees. Mix buttermilk and leeks in small bowl. Mix flour, baking powder, salt and pepper in a food processor. Add cold butter using the pulse on your processor. You want to cut the butter in until it looks mealy. Do not over process!

Taking the Buzz out of Energy Drinks By Michael Williams
There is not enough time in the day. Whether for work or fun, ourselves or others, we too often squeeze the day dry looking for an extra hour, 15 minutes or even a spare moment. This daily pursuit becomes tiring, yet some of us make a lifestyle of living on the end of the clock. This is where the energy drinks market has stepped in to convert our sleep deprivation into a 12.5 billion dollar industry. But what exactly are we buying into when we try to ignore sleep and proceed to run on empty? The recent use of energy drinks has skyrocketed. These stimulant cocktails of caffeine, sugar, and herbal additives are readily available in stores and vending machines. These drinks carrying claims of increased stamina, performance and other purported health benefits have propelled into the mainstay of productivity in a sleep-deprived society. So what exactly are we drinking? The main active ingredients are usually caffeine and sugar. A typical energy drink may contain anywhere from 100–350 mg of caffeine (equal to about 1–3.5 cups of coffee). Next, they are often loaded with sugar, leading to a quick surge of energy and excess calories. For instance, some Rockstar brand energy drinks contain the same amount of
sugar as six Krispy Kreme donuts. The remaining ingredients are often a mixture of herbal supplements. Numerous research has shown these mixtures of unregulated herbal additives provide very little scientific basis for the drink’s health claims, and even worse, in large doses they may be harmful. The most commonly reported negative effects of these drinks are increased or irregular heart rate, sleep disturbances and increased blood pressure, which may lead to major complications in individuals with high blood pressure, heart disease or diabetes. Moreover, for these individuals, the herbal supplements in the energy drinks may lead to unfavorable interactions with prescription medicine. Noting this, it is not surprising that a recent 2013 government study reports that energy drink-based emergency room visits have doubled in the last five years. To determine the health risks of energy drinks, there are a many things to consider. These considerations include the amount and frequency of consumption, the age of the drinker and if the drinks are combined with substances like alcohol. While the infrequent intake of one drink is unlikely to be a problem in an otherwise healthy adult, excessive or routine consumption significantly increases the
likelihood of complications and dependency. This is further indicated by recent research that has shown that the rise in energy drink-related hospital visits and negative health events is largely due to excessive intake. Moreover, this recent rise in ER visits has also highlighted that children and adolescents are the most vulnerable and susceptible to the negative health effects of energy drinks. The bottom line is energy drinks are a mixed bag. For healthy adults an infrequent use may not present a problem. But in adults with high blood pressure or heart disease, these drinks may be particularly harmful. For children and teens, it is strongly urged by the American Academy of Pediatrics that these drinks be completely avoided due to the increased health risks. In a final thought, it is important to ask why we are so tired. The majority of America does not get enough sleep or physical activity, is prone to meal skipping, dehydration and often lack nutrient-rich “energizing” foods (i.e. fruits and vegetables) in their diet. When we take energy drinks to address the symptoms of these problems and ignore the actual causes, we may be setting ourselves up for larger, more complex problems in the future.

Mudslide & Mudstock Continued from Front Gatefold
Plan to stay overnight at the Inn or the Tamarack Club. Beat the rush and pick up your race packet on Friday from 6–9 p.m. at the new Overlook Terrace next to the Tamarack Club at Holiday Valley. You may also register for the event at this time (if available). Then head out to the Cabana Bar for a frozen Mudslide! Time to Get Down and Dirty at the Mudslide The second annual Holiday Valley Mudslide is a mud run that’s FUN. Yes, you’ll get muddy. Yes, there is running. Yes, there are eight obstacles but NO fire, NO barbed wire and NO electric shocks! The 3.5-mile course starts at the top of the mountain at Spruce Lake (we’ll even give you a ride up on a chairlift) and runs along the ridgeline then down the hill. The 5.4-mile course adds a bit of uphill running. There is a maximum of 2,000 competitors. Registration is $60 for the 3.5- OR the 5.4mile run until June 1, and starting June 2, registration is $75. The Kids’ Race is $5 (up to age 12) and they can register at the starting line. Day-of-race registration/packet pickup (if available) is from 8–10 a.m. at the Mountain Sports Center, next to Yodeler Lodge. You must pre-register before June 1 to be guaranteed a T-shirt. All competitors will receive a goody bag and a super cool finisher’s medal plus a hot dog and two beers (or beverages). If you’re thinking about
entering, do it now because we’re limiting the field to 2,000 competitors. Preregistration is available at www.active.com. Course Route The event will start in waves of 100 people per wave at 10 a.m. from Spruce Lake, beginning with the long course runners. A ride to the start on the Spruce Lake chairlift is included in the entry fee. Please allow 45 minutes to get from the base to the starting line at Spruce Lake! Spectators may ride for $5. The 3.5 mile-course goes from Spruce Lake, across the cross-country trails to the top of Eagle, down Woodstock, across Explorer to Morning Star, then through the woods and across Mardi Gras, down Holiday Run to Edelweiss with a finish at the Training Center. The short course elevation has a drop of 600 feet — downhill! The 5.4-mile course adds a loop from Eagle across to Cindy’s, down a logging road to lower Bear Cub and back uphill to Explorer. This section is so steep we’ve installed ropes to help you scramble up! You’ll navigate eight obstacles along the trail and the final challenge is a giant mudslide down lower Yodeler. Your medal will be awarded at the finish line. Prizes will also be awarded to the overall three fastest males and females. A course map with contours is available at www.holidayvalley.com/ mudslide. The Kids’ MiniMudslide course is 1/2 mile long and
includes two obstacles plus the mudslide. Start and finish is at the Training Center. The MiniMudslide takes place after the Mudslide is complete, at approximately 1:30 p.m. Check in, day-of-race registration and bag check are from 8–10 a.m. at the Training Center at the base of Yodeler. After your run, you can shower under the snow guns and changing facilities will be available. The post-race party to end all parties starts at 1 p.m. with hot dogs, beer, music and craziness. Costumes are encouraged and prizes will be awarded to the most creative. Our photo service will be out on the course capturing your muddiest moments. They’ll be set up on the Yodeler deck where you can view and purchase your photos, or go online to order later. The Post Race Party Tunes, games and plenty of liquid refreshments will be at the post race party on the Champagne Sundeck, just outside the Yodeler Lodge. Starting at 11:30 a.m., competitors will receive a free hot dog and two beverages. Friends and family are welcome to purchase food and beverages and join in the fun. DJ John Barry will keep the party goin’ on. Bring your (friendly) dogs, Frisbees, hulahoops and smiles. Be sure to wear your medal in town after the event and on Sunday for the many special offers from merchants and restaurants/ bars!
