APRIL 5-11, 2013

Spring Has Finally Sprung in WNY! Black Bears End Hibernation One Ellicottville resident recently described our weather these past weeks as being schizophrenic, with snow falling despite sunny skies, icicles melting and reforming, and robins appearing and disappearing with the warmth or cold. But, it is officially April and it’s spring somewhere, judging from the grocery stores where spring flowers, asparagus and other signs of new life are abundant. Despite its somewhat late arrival (to the distinct pleasure of the skiers and snowboarders among us), Ellicottville and the region are preparing for spring with the confidence that it will, eventually, arrive. If you’re not heading to the slopes, perhaps you’re ready to do some hiking, birdwatching or strolling through parks and gardens. Just watch out for hungry bears cubs and their mamas, as they come out of hibernation to forage for food. Allegany State Park is open for all of those activities, along with camping, biking, fishing, picnicking and more. Nannen Arboretum, right here in Ellicottville, is another beautiful spot for a stroll. You can also volunteer there, get some great tips from master gardeners and learn about some unique species of trees and shrubs. For many, this is fishing season, which officially opened on April 1. The area’s streams, rivers and lakes are well stocked, as are the sporting goods stores all over the area. If you’re looking for an opportunity to see what’s new in fishing tackle this year, don’t forget to check out the Little Valley Volunteer Fire Department’s Spring Sportsmen’s Show in Little Valley on April 13-14 at the Cattaraugus County Fairgrounds. Western New York’s spring turkey hunting season begins on May 1. Don’t forget

Quarterly News Review of Ellicottville

By Jann Wiswall

Ellicottville’s governments, developers, businesses and ski areas have had an incredibly productive few months so far this year. While there are too many achievements to list in one article, here are some that got a lot of buzz on the streets.

Ellicottville Central Schools Ellicottville Central School District voters approved a capital improvement project that includes facility renovations, enhancements and an addition. The measure passed by a margin of more than 3-to-1. The ECS Lady Eagles volleyball team became New York State Champions at the final tournament in Glens Falls, and the ECS ski team, in its very first year of existence, made it all the way to the State competition. Holiday Valley When it comes to new amenities in town, it’s a little hard to compete with Holiday Valley’s grand 66,000 square foot, $12 million lodge that opened in December. It’s been getting nothing but rave reviews from skiers, and it enables Holiday Valley to offer more flexible meeting, wedding and event space throughout the year. See Quarterly News page 6

Katy’s Café Marks First Anniversary

by Eva Potter

A one-year birthday is a major milestone in an infant’s life signifying a whole year of learning and development, and for Katy Herbach, owner of Katy’s Café and Cake Creations, it’s been a similar experience. The bubbly and energetic Herbach opened her café and bake shop one year ago and hasn’t looked back since. Realizing it’s already been a year, Herbach said, “Holy cow! It feels like it’s been three months!” Over the last year, Herbach

has put her personal stamp on the café with comfortable, overstuffed furniture and custommade tables to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. “We have also added artwork from some of our local artists both on the walls and in other places. I really love all of our local artists who have contributed to helping make Katy’s what it is today,” said Herbach. “I especially want to thank Bob McCarthy and Huey Dunne for their outstanding rustic furniture. Their pieces truly helped add character to the café.” In addition to physical changes, Herbach has hired a few employees. “I love all of the staff. Everyone is absolutely fabulous and I could not have gotten through my ﬁrst year without them,” she said. You can walk into the café any time of day See Katy’s Cafe page 6

Peters & Moriarty Moves to Monroe By Jann Wiswall

The law firm of Peters & Moriarty has moved to its new office space at 12 Monroe Street, and attorney Kathleen Moriarty couldn’t be happier. “It’s all clean and fresh and bright,” she said. Many Ellicottville residents remember the firm as Peters and Ploetz, which was formed in 1986 and was located on the

first floor of the 1887 Building for many years. After Ross Peters died in May 2011, Ron Ploetz invited Moriarty to join the firm, which she did in September of that year. Then, in 2012, Ploetz was elected Cattaraugus County Judge. The name of the firm had to be changed because judges cannot practice law, so Moriarty renamed the firm using Peters’

name “both for recognition and for local sentimental reasons,” she said. With all those changes in the works, the time seemed right to move, too, said Moriarty. She knew her aunt and uncle, Dennis and Elaine Edwards, were looking for investment properties, so she suggested they look in Ellicottville. The See Peters & Moriarty page 6

Friday, April 5 Gin Mill, 9 p.m. RT Live This is just RT Live (Rod Tucker guitar and vocals) with his Thursday night partner (and human drum machine) Freddie Joseph, kicking it up a notch (yes, Woody) when they can play past midnight. Their usual set list, which is always changing, is augmented with more experimental and/or new songs, sometimes performed for the ﬁrst time live. Come check out a great time. Balloons, 7 p.m. Harvey & the Hurricanes I ﬁrst met Harvey Murello about 30 years ago when he owned Muchachos taco shop in Olean and his rockin› blues band carries on that tasty tradition. Along with the two Pauls (Iannello and Siwula), their blues and classic rock repertoire can be mellow or rockin› and always at a comfortable volume level — one of my all-time favorites, so give them a listen.

Their followers are known as “Zephyrheads.” Balloons, 6 p.m. Black Widow A Buffalo-area quartet, they are always high up on fans lists as one of the top rock bands, and that rock category covers a lot of ground — hard and not-

Wednesday, April 10 Gin Mill, 8 p.m. Joe Wagner & Friends Every Wednesday night (with very few exceptions), Joe has been playing here for 29 YEARS! I’m checking with the “Guinness Book of World Records” to see where Joe’s tenure ranks him. Along with his eclectic blend of pop, rock and folk favorites, the chicken wings have been featured here for that time as well. You haven’t experienced EVL until you’ve seen Joe.

Hundreds Anticipated in Annual Allegany Adventure Run By Jesse Mast

It may not be for the fainthearted. It may not exactly be a walk in the park. But for those who simply love the sport of running and welcome a bit of a challenge, the Annual Allegany Adventure Run is a great way to start the year. The Allegany Adventure Run is set to take place Saturday, May 4. The event is organized by Heart Rate Up and will be held in Allegany State Park’s Red House area. Gary Quattrone, Red House Area manager, noted the success of the annual event. “It’s been a great working relationship with (Heart Rate Up) for many, many years,” said Quattrone. Event organizer Mark Lawrence said that Allegany State Park is an ideal location for the races due to its natural beauty, as the races will take place at the Summit Ski Area. “It’s all off-road, 100 percent trail,” said Lawrence. For that matter, weather is not

even an issue, and Lawrence said that the races will go on “rain or shine.” For Allegany State Park, the Adventure Run is a chance to show off some of the best natural beauty Western New York has to offer. “It’s always turned out to be a popular and well-attended event,” said Quattrone. “It’s really kind of a neat, healthy activity we offer here at the park … It’s one of the prettiest runs you could take.” Quattrone said that the event is a good way for visitors to get to exposed to the state park for the ﬁrst time. Indeed, the Adventure Run draws hundreds of runners from distant places. “We’re probably looking at around three or four hundred,” said Lawrence. “It grows a little every year.” He said that in the past runners have traveled from throughout New York, Pennsylvania and even Canada to participate. Yet another reason to

participate, Quattrone said, is that “it’s for a great cause.” Proceeds from the event will help support HEART Animal Replacement Services and the Allegany Nordic Ski Patrol. In addition to the hundreds of runners, the event requires the involvement of many more taking on lots of responsibilities, including medical personnel, staff and volunteers in various roles. Lawrence noted that a lot of work goes into preparing for the event. “We’re there days prior,” he said. The day will include other activities as well. These include a moonwalk race — a brief sprint à la Michael Jackson — demos from event sponsors and a cookout lunch to top it all off. Three races over three different distances will take place. The event starts off with the 22K race, beginning at 9:30 a.m. The next race will be the 13K at 9:45 a.m., followed by the 6K at 10 a.m. Awards will be given to winners of each distance in different categories, including male, female and age categories. Preregistration forms and additional information are available online at www. heartrateup.com. Registration fees are as follows: $20 for the 6K, $25 for the 13K and $30 for the 22K. A $5 fee will be added after April 27. However, this should not deter anyone from participating, since runners may still register the day of the event. “No one will be turned away,” said Lawrence.

He talked about many of the things a person would expect: hiking trails in Erie County, bird watching sites in Little Valley and Allegany State Park and camping spots. I must admit I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t listening too intently because he was wearing a baseball cap backwards and his jeans were bagg y. Then he started talking about caves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a ton of caves in this part of the state,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know anything about. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been f inding them for a long time.â&#x20AC;? Now he had my attention. Caves? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d explored a few while living in Missouri, specif ically Kansas City. Once the geog raphical site of a prehistoric ocean, the geog raphy now in Western Missouri and Kansas is but an ancient ocean f loor of limestone, a porous rock even industries use for subterranean storage facilities. One park I visited regularly had several caves â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not deep, mind you, but deep enough to hide stashes of booty. Jesse James, a Missouri native, used to hide his stashes of booty in caves and limestone outcroppings. So I asked this guy, who I will name Ben, about what kind of caves people in the Southern Tier can expect to f ind if they look hard enough. He was quiet for a moment and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We found a good one just down from Scoby Dam.â&#x20AC;? For those of you unfamiliar with Scoby Dam, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s located just outside Spring ville on Old 219. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re traveling north on Route 219 and cross the bridge spanning Cattaraugus Creek, the road leading to the dam is to the left. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a parking lot at the bottom of the hill. Park there, Ben said, and walk up the path, toward the bridge you just crossed, and to your left thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a path. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We cleared away a path last summer,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It may not be there anymore.â&#x20AC;? In Benâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes, Spring ville is sitting above a network of caves. The cave at Scoby Dam is just one entrance point among many, though he cautioned that after about a quarter of a mile inside the cave the terrain gets challeng ing and pools of water are deep. Since the weather has been uncooperative and opportunities for exploration so far this year have been slim to none, I did some research. One of my favorite sites is Frank Broughtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dig ital photog raphy website about Zoar Valley, a place that quickly became, upon my moving here last August, a personal obsession. On the page is a list of various sites in the Zoar Valley area. One notation is called Valentine Cave, though I was disappointed to see that information about the cave is forthcoming. I called the New York Department of Parks and Recreation and asked them. Truthfully they were a bit confused as to where I had heard such a thing. A representative in the Allegany Reg ional Off ice said she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know of any â&#x20AC;&#x153;caves,â&#x20AC;? though she had heard of bear caves, or narrow spaces between boulders. And of course she mentioned Little Rock City, an area between Salamanca and Ellicottville described as full of â&#x20AC;&#x153;rock cities,â&#x20AC;? or f lat-top boulders that hikers can perch upon or walk between. I called the New York Department of Environmental Conservation and asked for a geolog ist on staff. I told her what I was looking for and she was intrigued. Her name was Lynette. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never heard of anything like that, but I can have someone call you about it,â&#x20AC;? she said. Because time is tight this week, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to get back to you, our readers. In the meantime, if any of you have information about caves or little-known hot spots in the area, drop me an email and let me know. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll report on them periodically.

to see the friendly staff happily chatting with visitors and locals. And chatting is not all you will do. Save room because the food is fabulous. As with any new restaurant, the menu has evolved since opening. Herbach said, “We have used our specials board to try new sandwiches, wraps, salads and breakfast items, some of which will be making it to our new menu, which will be coming out by the beginning of May 2013.” Some of the most popular sandwiches are the Firecracker (grilled chicken, roasted red peppers, grilled onions, pepper jack cheese, and chipotle aioli grilled on Italian Panini bread), the Stray Kat Melt (sliced roast beef, provolone cheese, grilled onions and garlic mayo grilled to perfection on Italian Panini bread with au jus for dipping), and their Oh So Good Salad (grilled chicken, gorgonzola cheese, dried cranberries, sliced almonds on leafy romaine lettuce with a raspberry hazelnut vinaigrette). Popular breakfast items include breakfast sandwiches

and breakfast burritos. Recently, Herbach held a Facebook naming contest for the newest sandwich — the EVL Hefer — loaded with freshly sliced roast beef and topped with fiery red pepper relish, gorgonzola cheese and garlic mayo on Panini bread. In addition to the café offerings, Herbach also creates custom cakes and baked goods for all occasions. “The cake design aspect of the business is going well. It is tough sometimes,” she said. “Because of our size, we book quickly sometimes and have to turn people down, but it has definitely helped the business. Designing cakes is very fun and is a great creative outlet.” It doesn’t take more than a minute of conversation to understand that Herbach truly loves her job, especially getting to know all of her customers. “I think I can stay enthusiastic because of the wonderful customers, my family and friends. The people that come to the café family, friends, new and old customers have helped to fill my life with so much joy, laughter and happiness that I

owe my enthusiasm and energy to all of them,” she said. “The ‘Breakfast Club’ is my favorite, I must say, and I have a special place in my heart for every one of them.” It’s been a whirlwind year and, as with any business, along with a challenging learning curve come heartwarming surprises. According to Herbach, opening Katy’s Café has conﬁrmed “what a wonderful support system of friends and family that I have, especially my soon-to-be husband Victor Arena. It has been a wonderful year with some crazy moments. Everyone has been so supportive of me and I don’t know if I would have ever realized it, and truly been able to appreciate it without the café.” As for long-range plans, she said, “I think that I have too many ideas to count. We will just have to see where the wind takes me.” You can ﬁnd Katy’s Café in the heart of Ellicottville at 10 Washington Street.

Edwards live in Germany, Moriarty manages the building on a day-to-day basis. Peters & Moriarty, like its predecessor f i r m , concentrates on real estate and municipal law, as well as wills and building, which formerly housed Bruce Candle Shop, seemed perfect and the Edwards jumped at the idea. The exterior of the building was freshened up with new siding, trim, doors and windows in keeping with the overall look and feel of Ellicottville. The law office includes a conference room, Moriarty’s office, abundant storage and lots of light-filled open space for the two staff members who work with her. The building also includes a 500-600-square-foot retail space (which is available for lease), and an upstairs apartment. Because the

estates. “I focus on areas that most people in small communities really need,” said Moriarty, who is a graduate of the University of Buffalo’s undergraduate and law schools. “I’ve never been a large ﬁrm ‘kinda girl’… you hardly ever even meet your clients. Here, I not only meet them, but I get to know them. It’s much more fulﬁlling.” Moriarty also serves as attorney for the Towns of Ellicottville, Conewango, Franklinville, Great Valley, Leon, Otto and Salamanca, as well as the Village of Little Valley. “I enjoy working with the

local governments,” she said. “It enables me to work with other people who love their communities and want to keep them vibrant.” Although she welcomes variety in her work, she is determined to stay true to her core practice areas. “It’s easy to know a little bit about a lot of areas of the law, but I am of better service to my clients if I know a few areas really well,” she said. Moriarty gladly refers clients to trusted colleagues who specialize in other legal areas, such as personal injury, matrimonial and criminal law. In fact, John C. Nelson, a criminal defense attorney who concentrates his practice on defending DWI related offenses, is sharing ofﬁce space with Moriarty as he grows his practice in the Southern Tier. “It’s an exciting time for the ﬁrm and the community,” said Moriarty, who points to the improving residential and commercial property markets in the area. “There’s a lot going on in Ellicottville, and I’m very happy to be here to serve the needs of the community in any way I can.”

Quarterly Review Cont. from Front Page

Holiday Valley is getting ready to announce details about a new round of improvements planned for this spring and summer. They include ﬁnishing some projects associated with the new main lodge, tearing down the old day care center structure and replacing it with a new plaza, removing the tent from the cabana/pool area and replacing it with a wood and glass enclosed area, purchasing some new grooming and snowmaking equipment, adding some new features to Sky High Adventure Park, and making some interior improvements to the Inn at Holiday Valley. HoliMont This was HoliMont’s 50th anniversary year, and to mark the milestone, the resort celebrated in a big way with a gala that, by all accounts, far exceeded expectations. Also this year, the resort installed a new high-speed quad chairlift to replace the old Exhibition lift in front of its main lodge. Next on HoliMont’s list is breaking ground on the infrastructure for the newly approved WestMont Ridge development of 31 residential lots. The infrastructure project is due to start this spring as soon as the ground is dry enough. The development and sale of the lots at auction in February represent Phase 1 of a two-phase project. Phase 2 involves building new slopes in the Sunset area, a new lodge, a multi-unit condominium, “Park & Pipe” terrain, a new beginner ski area, a highspeed detachable lift, a Nordic Center, parking and more. Commercial Development There has been a bit of a building boom in Ellicottville this year. The Ellicottville Square building in the old Nannen Bat Factory at Bristol Lane and Fillmore Drive opened in the fall, and it’s already nearly full. Numerous

sportsmen’s show, Miller mentioned another way people can help the ﬁre department — volunteer. “If anyone wants to join,” he said, “we could always use extra hands.” The Little Valley Volunteer Fire Department Spring Sportsmen’s Show will take place at the Cattaraugus County Fairgrounds at 501 Erie St. in Little Valley. Hours are Saturday, April 13 from 9 a.m.–4 p.m., and Sunday, April 14 from 9 a.m.–3 p.m. Refreshments are available. Admission is $5. Children ages 12 and under are free.

FEMA agrees, many property owners may be able to drop or reduce their flood insurance coverage and the cost of new development could be reduced. Big changes are in store for the Cornell Cooperative Extension building and Nannen Arboretum on Jackson Drive. The Town of Ellicottville, which acquired the property in January, plans to improve the building and offer a fresh space for weddings, celebrations and community events, as well as offices and a facility to provide meals for the elderly. The town’s new state-of-theart transportation department buildings on Bryant Hill Road – a major municipal project – are now nearly complete and in operation. This year the town, with financial support from the state, will complete work on the East Tank Project, which will provide better fire protection for residents and businesses through placement of new fire hydrants, and improve water pressure throughout the service area. Planning for a State Department of Transportation project in Ellicottville is well underway. The project includes building sidewalks along Route 242 from HoliMont to the village, reconfiguration of the Elizabeth Street/Fillmore Drive/Rte. 219 intersection and replacement of wheelchair ramps at five intersections in the village. And, in the Town of Mansfield, plans are shaping up to begin construction on a new highway department building. The original building and its contents, including seven vehicles, burned to the ground on October 7, 2012. The new facility will be a 60-footby-180-foot, pre-engineered metal building with an office, restrooms and a break room.

A national instant criminal background check will be completed before any firearms are sold. If attendance is the same as in recent years, Miller said there could be between 1,500 and 2,000 people attending the show throughout the weekend.

Next door to the new Kwik Fill location at the corner of Washington and Mill Streets, a new shopping center is ready for more tenants to join the Village Wine Rack and EVL Ink Tattoos and Apparel that already located there. Law firm Peters & Moriarty has moved to its renovated building at 12 Monroe, with new retail space available for rent. There are also some new retail and entertainment businesses in town. In addition to the Ellicottville Square tenants listed above, other newcomers include the Bike and Bean burrito shop at the front of the Ellicottville Bike Shop at 34 Washington St., and organic clothing store, Nouriche, which opened just this week at 14 Washington. In addition, the Ellicottville Brewing Company is doing a 7,200-square-foot expansion project that promises a new brew house, kitchen, dining area and beer garden, as well as an event space that can accommodate up to 85 guests. Local Government Projects The Floodplain Remapping Study undertaken by the village, the Town of Ellicottville, Ellicott Development and Sprague Development, began in 2012 to update floodplain maps originally drawn by FEMA.

It’s a Small World: Rubbing Elbows with Toni Sailer

By Joe Dipasquale

The year was 1956. The place was Cortina, Italy. A young 21-year-old Austrian made skiing history that year. His name was Toni Sailer, known in the skiing world as “The Black Blitz from Kitz.” He was the ﬁrst winter Olympian to win three golds in one year and a gold in the World Championships. After retiring from competition in 1959, he became a singer and an actor, starring in many European movies. But that’s another story. “The Black Blitz from Kitz” was born and lived most of his life in Kitzbuhel, Austria, a famous ski town in the Tyrolian Alps. The entire sports world at the time envied his prowess on the slopes, as well as his handsome looks and continental charm. He was also a true gentleman that won the hearts of all fortunate enough to have met him. I had that privilege between Christmas of 1957 and New Year’s of 1958. He was world famous at the time, and I was a small fry in the U.S. Army stationed in Southern Germany on leave in Kitzbuhel for the

holidays. After skiing one day, I walked into a soda and pastry shop for a little refreshment and was waited on by a pretty Austrian maiden by the name of Trudi Proxmeir. Her red cheeks and blonde hair arose the youthful brashness in me and I engaged her in conversation that ended up with me requesting her company on New Year’s Eve. Her family owned the shop and a fullﬂedged bar and restaurant in the back. The Proxmeir family was famous in their own right, being a singing and dancing troupe specializing in Tyrolian and Austrian folk music. I was both stunned and delighted that she accepted my invitation. The only condition was that I attend a private party at her parent’s restaurant on New Year’s Eve. She was seated to my right and low and behold, Toni Sailer was seated directly across from me. We had a pleasant conversation that evening, discussing that we were both born the same year only three days apart. We discussed our mutual love of the mountains, how different the ﬁrst 10

years of our lives were, he being raised under Hitler and me under Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and many other things of interest to us. The evening went too fast and I never saw him or Trudi again on future trips to Austria. I did ﬁnd out that Trudi and Toni were childhood sweethearts. I suspect that the only reason I was included in the festivities was to cause some jealousy on Toni’s part. My youthful feelings were not hurt. I felt honored to be used that way and would do it again given the chance. Fast forward to winter 2013 on a recent trip to Florida, where I met up with Ellicottville’s Jack Hushen and Kim Spzaicher. Jack was reading a local Punta Gorda newspaper and spotted an ad for a new nightclub that just opened only a few miles from his home. The ad announced a famous bar person for her Banana Foster martini, and her name was Natalie Sailer from Kitzhuhel, Austria. After Jack heard my story we paid a visit to the nightclub, and standing behind the bar was Natalie – radiating the freshness of the Tyrolian Alps. We discovered that Toni was her great uncle, whom she loved. His victories were 20 years before she was born, but nonetheless were familiar to her. She explained that he passed away three years ago at the age of 73. He was married twice but never to that wonderful alpine beauty I met so long ago. We took pictures and vowed to get together on my next trip to Florida. “Es ist eine kleine welt.”

Fly-Fishing Zen-Like Experience

By Ed Racich

Teach a man to fish and you’ll teach him to have a great time on backcountry expeditions for a lifetime! Fly-fishing is a specialized form of fishing that combines skill and artistry. Because it is so rich with tradition, beginning in the second century, it has become a passion for many thousands of people. The beauty of the water, the solitude, and the skills that the sport requires has made flyfishing a very important sport. The fish will soon be biting and now is the time to get ready. Trout, Salmon and More Fly-fishing is most renowned as a method for catching trout and salmon, but it is also used for a wide variety of species including pike, bass, panfish and carp in fresh water, and saltwater species such as redfish, tarpon, striped bass and bonefish. Many anglers try to catch as many different species as possible with the

fly. Any fish can be caught and captured on fly as long as their main food source can be effectively reproduced by the fly itself, and appropriately sturdy gear is used. Fly-Fishing vs. Bait Fishing The main difference between fly-fishing and spin or bait fishing is that in flyfishing the weight of the line carries the hook through the air, whereas in spin and bait fishing the weight of the lure gives distance to the cast. By design, artificial lures are used as bait to lure fish to the hook, and are of several types — some imitating an insect, others bait fish — in an attempt to attract fish. A fly is too light to be cast and as such simply follow the lead of a properly cast fly line, which is heavier and more castable. Dropping the fly onto the water, and its movement on top of the water or just below the surface of the water, is

one of fly-fishing’s most difficult tasks. The fisherman is attempting to cast in such a way that the line lands smoothly on the water and the fly appear as natural as possible. There are a great number of special casts used by fly-fishermen to avoid problems like tree branches that are too close to the water, the pulling of the line by the stream, or to make the fly land more softly. Artificial flies are made by fastening feathers, fur and other materials, natural or synthetic, onto a hook. Finding Elusive Trout The first day of spring has come and gone, and while some of the country still feels like it is in the throes of winter, much of Western New York is starting to thaw out. Many fisheries, like the hatchery in Randolph, N.Y., are starting to thaw and the trout will soon be rising again. Now that the sun is out and the bugs will soon be bouncing on the water’s surface, it is time to figure out where the trout will feed. Fishing is going to do nothing but improve along with the weather, so get out and scout your fishing spots for the spring season. So, how do you find a tryouts’ feeding zone? It’s always a struggle locating where fish are going to be. The four basic feeding zones on a trout stream are: 1) on the surface, 2) just below the surface, 3) in the midsection of the stream, and 4) on or near the bottom of the stream. Trout rarely feed on the surface,

Village Beautiﬁcation Crew Needs You!

By Jann Wiswall

Anyone who comes to Ellicottville in the spring, summer and early fall can’t help but notice the lovely barrels, hanging baskets and window boxes brimming with fresh and flowing flowers and plants up and down the village streets. The group responsible for most of those flowers is known as the Alley Katz, and they need your help. Every year, the village and the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce provides funds for the purchase of plants and materials, but as the community has become more and more attached to the idea, more business owners are asking the Alley Katz to perk up their street corners and facades, as well. “People have asked for barrels farther down (Route)

219 past Coffee Culture and Kwik Fill,” said Debbie Yantomasi, Alley Katz co-chair (with Pat Haynes). “We’d love to accommodate them, but as a non-proﬁt organization, we only have so much to work with. Every year, we rely on donations in order to meet everyone’s requests.” Yantomasi and Haynes have already begun ordering plants, baskets, soil and other materials for summer 2013. In addition, they organize a small army of volunteers to ready the soil, place the barrels, plant the thousands of ﬂowers needed, and tend the plantings every Tuesday morning throughout the season. It’s an organizational feat, to be sure, but it’s worth it. “Everyone has a great time meeting people while doing something great for the

community,” said Yantomasi. “And, to make it especially fun, volunteers meet up at Dina’s Restaurant afterwards where Dina (DiPasquale) treats us to coffee as her donation to the cause.” This year, Alley Katz plans to hold “prep day” on May 21 to place and ﬁll the barrels and get all the heavy work done. “We need some big strong bodies to help on that day in particular,” she said. June 4 is major planting day, with dozens of volunteers wielding gardening gloves and trowels descending on the village to plant and hang the ﬂowers. If you’re interested in lending a hand, Yantomasi encourages you to plan to attend these two big days this season at 9 a.m., and to “come and help out any old Tuesday you happen to be in town.” But before that, please consider donating funds to this popular community effort. Tax-deductible donations may be sent to the Alley Katz, P.O. Box 1407, Ellicottville, N.Y. 14731. For more information, contact Deb Yantomasi at (716) 803-3388.

April 5-April 11, 2013

Airbags, Skimming Ponds and Easter Eggs Appropriately, as it is still HoliMont’s 50th anniversary season, last weekend was one for the ages here at the club. Originally, the annual pondskimming event was scheduled for Saturday the 30th and then on the docket for Sunday the 31st was an Easter egg hunt for all the little ones at the club. However, at the last minute, HoliMont was able to book a spot on the Acrobag 2013 Progression Tour. Led by former professional snowboarder Marc-Andre Tarte, and coming out of Whistler, B.C., this dynamic trio of freestyle enthusiasts travel across the country giving demonstrations on their 50-foot-by-50-foot gold and purple airbag. If you’ve never hit an airbag, and many at HoliMont had not before last weekend, it’s quite the experience. The airbag helps take some of the risk out of hitting jumps and learning

tricks. Landing on a large inﬂated bag of air is a lot less impact than not stomping your landing when you’re coming off a jump in the terrain park. The HoliMont FLITE Team was especially thrilled to get news that the Acrobag was going to be at HoliMont all weekend. But it wasn’t just park kids who found the setup entertaining. The airbag

attracted mothers, fathers, HoliMont employees, and even some of the HoliMont Ski Patrol took their turn at flying into the air and landing in positions that sometimes would require a visit from ski patrol if they had happened on snow. With the added security of the airbag though, confidence sored and people were having a blast spinning, flipping or just boosting into the air and landing in a nice, forgiving setting. Additionally, the crew from Acrobag was on hand and offered up a lot of advice on different ways to throw various tricks. By the end of the third day, it was pretty obvious which kids had spent the majority of the weekend on the airbag. Progression was

noticeable and the smile on the faces of the kids after they stuck their trick was gigantic. The Acrobag shut down for a little while on Saturday at noon in order to allow everyone to go and watch the annual pond skimming competition, when 25 brave people ﬂirted with the possibility of an icy-cold disaster in order to have their shot at glory by making it across the 100-foot pool. The theme for pond skimming was Las Vegas and the participants came dressed to the nines. There were mobsters, blackjack dealers, showgirls, and of course, a couple of guys dressed like Alan from The Hangover (complete with a “child” in a baby carrier).

Needless to say, there was more than a handful that did not complete the trip across the pond. Those who did received a good amount of cheers and the knowledge that they only had to deal with some wet boots. Those who were not so lucky were cheered even more and quickly had to make their way into the chalet to towel off and to change into dry clothes. At the end of the event, prizes were given away for things such as Best Splash, Best Entrance and Best Costume. Sunday was a much more low-key day at the club, but for those who were here, the Acrobag was still a popular draw. There was an Easter egg hunt that took place in the afternoon, which all the young

kids had a blast with as they dug into the snow trying to unearth as many Easter eggs as they could in the allotted time period. As the season begins to come to a close, moments like last weekend are to be cherished. They create memories that will last well beyond the end of this season. So while the events are certainly fun while they are taking place, the real value that they have is when they are recalled ﬁve, 10, even 20 years from now — when people can say, “Remember that time at HoliMont when…” HoliMont is planning to stay open until April 14, so there is still plenty of time to come out and make more memories of your own.

Olean Kennel Club Helps Cull Best Qualities Promote Responsible Dog Ownership

Dog Shoots Man

By William Thomas

NRA Wants All Dogs Armed On February 23rd, in Frostproof, Florida a dog shot a man. I know. I know. You’re as startled as I was when I first heard the news. Frostproof!!! A town in Florida named Frostproof!!! Like Sweatsoak, Alaska? Or Compromise, D.C.? Gregory Lanier, 35 was driving along State Road 17 when his rambunctious bulldog accidently kicked the trigger of a loaded 9 mm Beretta pistol lying on the floor of his Ford pick-up truck. The bullet went through his left calf, out the shin and lodged up in the driver’s side door. After a thorough investigation of this near-tragic incident, Sebring police determined that the dog acted alone. The name of the alleged shooter cannot be released because he’s under 126 in dog years. Police from nearby Sebring labelled the shooting as ‘accidental’ even though Lanier had just left the Blue Crab Restaurant and – I do not want to get into motive or premeditation here but – the “doggie bag” belongs to the dog, okay. That’s the rule. How many times can you put the leftovers on the dashboard before the dog, spotting the loaded gun at his feet, takes the law into his own paws. Despite the fact the pistol was loaded and Lanier thought it wasn’t, despite the loaded Martin XT.243 rifle, the empty .243 shell casings in the ashtray, two boxes of ammunition, several rounds of .308 bullets and green-tipped ‘zombie killers’ – despite all this weaponry found in his vehicle, Lanier was let go with a warning “to be more careful in securing his firearms.” In America where 307 million people possess 300 million guns (and those are the weapons with permits, the ones they know about) and in Florida where they brag about being the most heavily-armed state in the union – having all that weaponry discovered in your vehicle is like passing gas in church. Not pretty but also not illegal. Lanier claimed he was just toolin’ down the highway when

all of a sudden: “BANG!” He immediately smelled smoke and felt burning in his lower left leg. It was at that point the dog jumped up on the passenger seat and stuck his head out the window as if nothing had happened, as if he hadn’t even been down there on the floor when the gun went off. Apparently the dog maintained his innocence until the police finally drove off without laying charges and then he “snorgled” … mockingly. I hate to repeat myself but leftovers secured in a “doggie bag” lawfully belong to the dog and he is not in any way responsible for the consequences resulting from a violation of that law. Period. Bleeding badly and probably fearing for his life – “I know what you’re thinking, punk. Was there one or were there two bullets in that Beretta? Go ahead. Make my day.” – Lanier pulled over at a BP station where he applied paper towels to his wound and the attendant called 911. President Obama used the Florida shooting to reiterate his stance on gun control and his plan for universal background checks on four-footed gun buyers who have mental health problems or harbour grudges against their owners. In a quick and aggressive response, National Rifle Association Vice president Wayne LaPierre called a press conference to say: “The only thing that stops a bad dog with a gun is (“Who’s a good dog!?! He’s a good dog!??) a good dog with a gun.” Repeating his mantra that “guns don’t kill, dogs do,” LaPierre called for the installation of well-armed guards at the entrances of every vet clinic and boarding kennel in America. “SPCA buildings where stray dogs and dogs with behavioral problems housed should have two well-armed guards and they should be humans, not guard dogs with automatic weapons.” LaPierre noted that everybody lucked out this time.

Endorsing a universal p r o g r a m in which every dog in America be armed, LaPierre explained that if it had been a pack of dogs in a crowded public area, say the Westminster Dog Show, the other dogs could have shot the shooter before more human life was taken. “I will defend every American dog’s right to the Second Amendment” said LaPierre, “and yes, I would even allow bears to bear arms. But only good bears like Yogi The Bear.” This dog-on-owner gun violence is not to be confused or even outdone by another incident, this time in St. Petersburg, Florida where a woman claims she was shot by an oven. And 18-year-old woman by the name of Aalaya Walker (I swear I do not make this stuff up!) was visiting her boyfriend JJ Sandy when she decided to preheat the oven in order to make late-night waffles. Not knowing that’s where JJ keeps his bullets, Aalaya opened the hot oven and “BANG!” She was later treated at hospital for wounds to her legs and chest from bullet fragments for a .45 caliber Glock pistol. While President Obama called for universal background checks on kitchen stoves, the NRA’s Wayne LaPierre stated that while guns don’t kill and bullets don’t wound, under certain circumstances, ovens, freezers and even bread baskets can snuff out a human life in the blink of an eye. He then called for well-armed electricians and handymen to be stationed at every kitchen door in America. Meanwhile in Frostproof, Florida Gregory Lanier is keeping his Beretta well away from Bingo and giving the dog pretty much everything he wants. Shame that it nearly cost him his life before he finally understood the man/dog relationship. For comments, ideas and copies of The True Story of Wainfleet, go to www.williamthomas.ca

Sandie Holly, president of the Olean Kennel Club, understands that many dog owners just don’t get it. Dedicated to what club members have been touting since 1923 as the advancement of purebred dogs, the club aims to make perfect showings of various dog breeds that are already, in many dog lovers’ eyes, perfect already. “The people who come here, and the people who are members, love their dogs beyond the normal level of love,” said Holly. A member of the club for over 20 years, Holly is gearing up for another spring and summer season, one that involves regularly offered classes in obedience and agility (among many others) to point and conformation shows. In 1975, the club held its ﬁrst American Kennel Club Conformation Show at Bradner Stadium in Olean, according to information on the club’s website. Clubs at that time were starting to form cluster shows. The Olean club held one more show at the stadium and then moved to Alexander, N.Y., as part of a three-day cluster. The spring show continued there for many years. The club is preparing for the Olean/Conewango Valley Kennel Club show, scheduled for May 30 to June 2 at the Chautauqua County Fair Association in Dunkirk. Several shows are scheduled throughout the Western New York area throughout the year, Holly said, but the Dunkirk show is special because Olean

partners with Conewango and, in year’s past, has proven to be one of the biggest and best. “We put a lot into the show,” Holly said. Originally called the Enchanted Mountain Kennel Club, the Olean Kennel Club has become a popular — and in many ways necessary — route for dog owners who want the cull the best qualities out of their canine. While there are an estimated 25 active members in the club, dozens of others come to the kennel for services, which include obedience training, agility, therapy, rally, junior handling and American Kennel Puppy STARS and other forms of training and enhancement that makes dogs better dogs — but also trains them to participate in conformation, or point, shows. Competing in several categories, dogs amass points at each show. Cumulative points determine winners (15 points to become an American Kennel Club champion), and Holly said amassing points can take a weekend or many years. “It depends on your level of effort and your dog,” she said. The club also offers classes for puppies, which can be rare within the club circuit. Some dogs that have passed through Olean Kennel Club have competed in prestigious competitions, including Westminster. In the Western New York area, Holly said there have been several dogs that have become internationally famous, including an Irish Setter that has won national shows.

An owner of three Irish Setters herself, Holly said the club also offers basic services that a dog owner not necessarily interested in competition can benefit from. “Really it’s all about responsible dog ownership,” she said. “That’s what we promote. People need to be the best owners they can be for their dogs and the community.” In many cases, customers discover that services benefit more than just the animals. “People find that the whole family benefits,” Holly said, adding that it’s the only sport where amateurs can compete against professionals. In addition, youngsters can learn dog handling and training. “A lot of families find that they grow closer by getting closer to their animals,” Holly said. “There’s a connection there in the end they didn’t have before.” For more information about the club and events, visit www. theoleankennelclub.org or www.infodog.com. The club meets at 7:30 p.m. on the third Tuesday of the month. Visitors are welcome and those interested in joining the club must fill out an application found on the club’s website.

Health & Fitness How Much Protein Do You Actually Need? Are you confused about how much protein you need? Many athletes and exercisers are increasing their protein intake to help them both lose weight and build more muscle, but is that the right way to go? It makes sense that, since muscles are made of protein, eating more dietary protein will help you build more muscle. However, science tells us that is not always the case. A Little Bit of Science The human body requires protein as a basic building block. Proteins are made of amino acids and help build muscles, blood, skin, hair, nails and internal organs. Next to water, protein is the most plentiful substance in the human body, and most of it is located in the skeletal muscles. Getting the Right Kind of Protein Foods that contain all of the essential amino acids are called complete proteins. These foods include beef, chicken, ﬁsh, eggs, milk and just about anything else derived from animal sources. Incomplete proteins don’t have all of the essential amino acids and generally include vegetables, fruits, grains, seeds and nuts. Does Protein Help You Burn More Calories? Every time you eat, your body uses up more energy (aka calories) to break down your

By Kim Duke neta & afaa Certified Trainer

food and absorb its nutrients, which boosts your metabolism. When you tuck into fat or carbs, about 5–15 percent of those calories go toward the digestion process. With protein, it’s more like 20 to 30 percent. That’s because protein is made up of amino acids held together by peptide bonds, which are strong little suckers. In order for your body to use the amino acids to repair tissue, transport oxygen throughout your bloodstream and form immunity-boosting antibodies, the peptide bonds have to be broken. This means your stomach has to work harder, which takes extra energy. However, that metabolism spike doesn’t mean protein is a freebie. If you overeat, you’ll gain weight no matter where your calories come from. And while dieters have slimmed down on diets like Atkins, South Beach and Paleo, their success is likely because they’ve cut calories and nixed reﬁned carbs.

Am I Getting Enough Protein? The reality is, if you consume enough calories, you’re probably eating plenty of protein. The recommended daily amount of protein ranges between 40-70 grams each day depending on your gender, age and situation. If you exercise more than an hour ﬁve or more days per week, bump up your intake to 0.75 grams per pound. And always make sure to start your day with protein at breakfast; this can help curb your calorie intake for the rest of the day. So, whether you’ve done cardio or strength training, your muscles are like sponges for 30–45 minutes right after exercise. If you give them some protein in that magic window, they’re primed to put it to use rebuilding and repairing the micro tears in muscle tissue that occur every time you work up a sweat. This makes you less sore the next day and increases your lean muscle mass, which helps you burn calories more efﬁciently 24/7. Remember, there are no magic foods or supplements that can replace the right training and the right diet. Too much of anything is not good. The foundation of any program, whether your goal is to lose weight or gain muscle, is a combination of cardio and strength training plus a healthy diet that includes carbs, with a balance of protein and healthy fats.

Springville Players Present

‘Dinner with Friends’

Dan Greer as Tom, Chris Best as Gabe, Georgina Canwell (standing) as Karen and Pamela Morley as Beth The Springville Players present “Dinner with Friends,” a bittersweet relationship drama at Springville Center for the Arts, April 11-21, 2013.

doing so less than 10 percent of the time. When trout dance on the surface, slurping bugs off the top of the water, the water will appear to be boiling. This is a common sight in the evenings when mosquitoes are active at the water’s edge. Bites at the subsurface, or the first two or three inches below the surface, are where trout find about 10 percent of their diet. They will snack on adult insects as they make their way to the surface. While the midsection of the stream may contain a majority of its water, trout only find about 5 percent of their diet here. Insects rarely stay in the middle layer because the currents are too strong here, and there is very little shelter provided by overhanging trees and other vegetation. Trout spend a majority of their time feeding on bottomdwelling insects, consuming 75 percent of their diet at or near the bottom. If you don’t see water boiling or fish occasionally breaching the surface, it’s a good bet that they’re staying down below. WNY Known for Abundance of Fishing Spots In Western New York, there is an abundance of fishable streams and ponds waiting to be found by eager anglers. The state of New York stocks many of these streams and ponds with yearling and sometimes older trout, including Rainbows,

Brooks and Browns. Trout are more delicate than most fish and require careful handling. Releasing wild trout after a catch preserves the quality of a stream or pond for continued fishing. Learn how to correctly handle a fish during your catch-and-release venture. Also, learn the proper ways to cast and catch, and a good time can be had each and every time you go out to fish. Then, pass it on; fly-fishing is a sport for the generations. Spectacular Trout Fishing in Spring Wild trout fishing in WNY can be spectacular, especially during the spring, traditionally the best time of the year to fish. Laurie Peterson has devoted the last 32 years of her life to fly-fishing. As a longtime member of Trout Unlimited, and a strong advocate of their principles, Peterson is dedicated to the conservation and the preservation of the sport. Trout Unlimited, which boasts 147,000 members, tries to teach fly-fishing and the methods and techniques of flyfishing that will do the most to help maintain local streams and ponds with healthy fish for years to come. Regulations limiting the number of fish that can be caught, and that provide safe and effective methods of catch-and-release, ensure that newly spawned fish will have a chance to grow and mature, making sure that great sport

will be available for us to enjoy for lifetimes. As Peterson said, “The big wild trout didn’t get big by being dumb! They’ve grown and gotten smarter because they’ve had the chance.” Scouting for Fish Many of the spots that provide these big fish are hard to get to; they are not just off the highway and under the bridge. You need to find them, scout them and keep their locations close to the vest! You don’t want them to get fished out. Locally, you can find Rainbow trout in Otter Creek, and in Lime Lake you will find big Browns. In McKinstry Creek, wild Rainbows reach 10-12 inches in length and the state park lakes are stocked heavily with Browns, Brooks and Rainbows. Ischua Creek, near Franklinville, and Mansfield Creek provide great fishing but without easy access. You must walk past the obvious spots to find the truly productive spots, where you will not only get great fish, but also the solitude that offers the Zen-like experience that flyfishing can become. C’mon, drop a line in WNY. Note: If you are fishing on a Seneca Nation of Indians Reservation, you need a SNI Fishing license but you do not need a NYS Fishing License on a SNI Reservation.

“Speaking From Among the Bones” by Alan Bradley From award-winning author Alan Bradley comes the next cozy British mystery starring intrepid young sleuth Flavia de Luce, hailed by USA Today as “one of the most remarkable creations in recent literature.” Eleven-year-old amateur detective and ardent chemist Flavia de Luce is used to digging up clues, whether they’re found among the potions in her laboratory or between the pages of her insufferable sisters’ diaries. What she is not accustomed to is digging up bodies. Upon the five-hundredth anniversary of St. Tancred’s death, the English hamlet of Bishop’s Lacey is busily preparing to open its patron saint’s tomb. Nobody is more excited to peek inside the crypt than Flavia, yet what she finds will halt the proceedings dead in their tracks: the body of Mr. Collicutt, the church organist, his face grotesquely and inexplicably masked. Who held a vendetta against Mr. Collicutt, and why would they hide him in such a sacred resting place? The irrepressible Flavia decides to find out. And what she unearths will prove there’s never such thing as an open-and-shut case. Bradley uses a marvelous blend of whimsy and mystery in this fifth book of the Flavia de Luce novels. All five books are available at the Ellicottville Library. It is also available in large print and as an audio book using our interlibrary loan program.
