The Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce has announced the fi nal addition to this year’s “Summer Music Festival” to take place July 1-3, 2011 throughout the community of Ellicottville and at Holiday Valley. Rusted Root, a nationally recognized band out of Pittsburgh, PA, will open up the weekend on Friday, July 1, 2011 at 8:00 pm for crowds at Holiday Valley Resort. The band is most commonly known for their smash hit, “Send Me On My Way,” which was featured in music videos, television shows and even movies such as “Matilda.” Rusted Root has sold more than 3 million albums worldwide. Formed in Pittsburgh by singer/guitarist Glabicki in the early ‘90s, Rusted Root’s worldly style quickly charmed fans of roots music and world rock. After debuting in 1992 with the self released Cruel Sun, Rusted Root signed with Mercury Records and released the 1994 platinum selling breakthrough When I Woke, which featured the

hit songs “Send Me On My Way”, “Ecstasy” and “Martyr”. Not long after, the band scored on tours with Toad the Wet Sprocket, Santana, The Grateful Dead, Dave Matthews Band, The Allman Brothers Band, HORDE Festival and, perhaps most notably, the highly coveted support role on the landmark Jimmy Page/Robert Plant reunion tour. The hard-touring Rusted Root returned in 1996 with Remember,

which was followed by 1998’s Rusted Root. Following some time off the band re-emerged in 2002 with Welcome To My Party. After leaving Mercury/Island Def Jam Records the band’s sixth album, Rusted Root Live, was released in 2004. This double live album was the second release on the band’s Touchy Pegg label, following the re-release of the newly re-mastered Cruel Sun in 2003. Along the way, Rusted Root has also issued three

EPs (Evil Ways, Live, and Airplane),a home video (Rusted Root Live) andmiscellaneous fi lm and TV soundtracktracks (Twister, Matilda, Home Forthe Holidays, Party of Five, Charmed,Homicide, Ice Age). And interestingly,NASA engineers chose “Send Me OnMy Way” as “wake-up” music for theMars Exploration Rover Opportunity,for Sol 21.

Holiday Valley Resort will soon offer more warm weather activities as construction on their Sky High Adventure Park nears completion. Jane Eshbaugh, Holiday Valley Resort marketing director, said they should complete work on the aerial adventure park in early May, and that the park should be open to the public by May 21. The new park is the largest piece of a $5.4 million capital expansion project by the resort. The park consists of a 4 acre tree top obstacle course comprised of over 100 platforms located within the tree canopy, connected by rope climbs and wooden bridges. The course tests participants’ balance and climbing skills as well as their strategic ability

of those attempting to complete the course. Eshbaugh said there are eight different courses within the aerial adventure park divided into fi ve different diffi culty levels. There are two courses each for the three easiest and intermediate levels and one course each for the more diffi cult and most diffi cult. She said the aerial park would be open for the spring, summer and fall seasons. Eshbaugh added that construction is underway for a Mountain Coaster near the Tannenbaum Lodge that would run uphill parallel to the Spruce Lake lift. The two-person ride is similar to a roller coaster in that it is a car affi xed to rails, but that is where the similarity ends. After reaching the summit, the

Pioneering “automobilist” George Schuster (pictured above with his Thomas Flyer made in Buffalo, New York), drove to victory in the 1908 New York to Paris Race, was in-ducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame on October 12, 2010, in Dear-born, Michigan. This Friday, World Race 2011 will stop in his hometown to pay homage. The drivers who are re-creating the great 1908 New York-to-Paris auto race this year will end their fi rst day on the road as guests of honor at a gala recep-tion at 7 pm Thursday in the Buf-falo Transportation/ Pierce-Arrow Museum, Seneca Street and Michi-gan Avenue.

By Dean WhitcombRyan recounts perhaps his fondest memories with The Boston Globe and, with good reason, has trouble narrowing it down to one or two things. “I’d probably have to say all my years covering the Celtics exclusively,” Ryan grins, “In 1969 I started covering them and that’s when they fi rst started encouraging me to be a bit fl amboyant in my writing. They gave me access to great sports teams and just let me be myself. Then of course there were the ‘80s and even this past decade with the Patriots, Red Sox and Celtics.

By KEN MCINTOSHSTAFF WRITER

ICCA will be placing ads in newspapers, radio and running television spots next week asking people to bring in any old silver and gold coins made before 1965. Those that bring in their coins will be able to speak with collectors one on one and have their coins looked at with an expert set of eyes. With the help of these ICCA members, offers will be made to those that have coins made before 1965. Offers will be made based on silver or gold content and the rarity of the coins. All coins made before 1965 will be examined and purchased including gold coins, silver coins, silver dollars, all types of nickels and pennies. Those that decide to sell their coins will be paid on the spot.

If you are like a lot of people you might have a few old coins or even a coffee can full lying around. If you have ever wondered what they are worth now might be your chance to find out and even sell them if you choose. They could be worth a lot according to the International Coin Collectors Association also known as ICCA. Collectors will pay a fortune for some coins and currency for their collections. If it is rare enough, one coin could be worth over $100,000 according to Eric Helms, coin collector and ICCA member. One ultra rare dime, an 1894S Barber, sold for a record $1.9 million to a collector in July of 2007. While that is an extreme example, many rare and valuable coins are stashed away in dresser drawers or lock boxes around the country. The ICCA and its collector members have organized a traveling event in search of all types of coins and currency. Even common coins can be worth a significant amount due to the high price of silver and gold, says Helms. Washington quarters and Roosevelt dimes can be worth many times their face value. Recent silver markets have driven the price up on common coins made of silver. Helms explains that all half dollars, quarters and dimes made before 1965 contain 90% silver and are sought after any time silver prices rise. Right now it’s a sellers market he said.

The rarest coins these collectors are looking for include $20, $10, $5 and $2 1/2 gold coins and any coin made before 1850. These coins always bring big premiums according to the ICCA. Silver dollars are also very sought after nowadays.

Other types of items the ICCA will be purchasing during this event include U.S. currency, gold bullion, investment gold, silver bars, silver rounds, proof sets, etc. Even foreign coins are sought after and will be purchased.

Also at this event anyone can sell their gold jewelry, dental gold or anything made of gold on the spot. Gold is currently trading at over $1,100.00 per ounce near an all time high. Bring anything you think might be gold and the collectors will examine, test and price it for free. If you decide to sell, you will be paid on the spot – it has been an unknown fact that coin dealers have always paid more for jewelry and scrap gold than other jewelers and pawn brokers.

So whether you have one coin you think might be valuable or a large collection you recently inherited, you can talk to these collectors for free. If your’re lucky you may have a rarity worth thousands. Either way there is nothing to lose and it sounds like fun!

Publisher’s Word“April Showers Make Me Dour”

Oh, I know that’s not the saying… “May fl owers” is the correct response, of course. It’s just the last few weeks of winter fun in Ellicottville have

been wonderful, as anyone who partied on the deck at Yodeler last Sunday will attest. The only way to tell the difference between someone who went south and someone who’s been eking out the last of the ski season is the color of their legs – Florida brown or Ellicottville white. Facially, they all look the same. Basically… And now, we’ve fi nally arrived at a seasonal crossroad – early spring. Mother Nature at her most wicked – a beautiful and sunny 70 degree day followed by a 40-something drizzling rainy and totally disgusting icky day. And odds are we’ll get more of the latter than the former this month. Well, it’s all good – we need those grey days to get something

productive done, right? My ski equipment, winter clothes, snow shoes, and ice skates need to move out, much like an uninvited guest who has stayed way too long. My new best buddies, (golf clubs, mountain and road bikes, hiking and camping equipment), need a place to stay for a while. Time to check out, winter gear! Go back to storage where you belong – I’ll call you in six months or so. Ba-bye, now. So, dear readers – despair not of the uneven nature of our spring weather around here. Take this shoulder time to contemplate what good times lay ahead. Oh, and if you have a pooch, you’ve got a bit of yard work to do – it was a very long winter! Until next week… JZ

From The Villager DeskThe Villager’s Dean Whitcomb Shares His “Real World” Experience

Wow. What a weekend! What an opportunity! I still can’t believe I had the chance to work a casting call for MTV’s “The Real World,” but that’s exactly what I did last Saturday! It’s funny, I work for The Villager full-time and a lot of Ellicottville residents and business owners have gotten to know me at this point, so when I go to work and talk to them on the phone or in person, now, I’m just Dean. Saturday? You’d have thought I was a rock star!

That’s how I was treated. Every single person that comes to audition thinks you’re a big shot and offers to do anything (yeah, I said anything) to get on the show. It may be disturbing to some, but you have to laugh it off and just proceed with your job. The day is far too busy to take offense to any strange “offers.” I began my workday at nine am Saturday doing the same job I would do for the next nine hours. I surveyed applicants and handed out short applications for them to fi ll in. I spoke to them about their day, whether or not they were nervous and dished them every ounce of fl attery nonsense I could. I’m a professional fl irt, so I’m made for jobs like that. Late in the day, I had the chance to sit in with the Casting Director for one of the calls. We brought in the ten hopeful dreamers and sat them casually in a “U” of couches surrounding the director.

At that point, the director began questioning names and talents around the room. He allowed for demonstration of several talents, which generated nothing but roaring laughter as the “hopefuls” calmed down and relaxed their nerves. His job is to narrow down the search for future cast members from a fi eld of thousands, down to just a few. With each passing group, he asks one or two applicants to head upstairs for a picture and a long application. One applicant in particular took four hours to complete the second application. Sure, that was extreme, but seriously, it’s a lot of questions. Overall my day was nothing short of spectacular. I earned a recommendation from the director to Bunim-Murray Productions that should (fi ngers crossed) ensure an offer next time a casting call for MTV shows is in the area. Wish me luck! -Dean

9th Annual Rally in the ValleyCommunity Bank NA Sponsors August 25-28 Olean Event

OLEAN – Community Bank, NA is proud to be the Thursday night sponsor of the 9th Annual Rally in the Valley. The Rally in the Valley, to be held August 25-28, is a motorcycle fundraiser event, which benefi ts a host of local organizations. Community Bank is a wholly owned national banking subsidiary of Community Bank System, Inc. (CBSI), and is the second-largest commercial banking franchise headquartered in Upstate New York. It is a full-service fi nancial institution, offering complete consumer, business, and fi nancial services. Community Bank will be the sponsor of a new day with the Rally; Thursday’s Banking on a Good Time Street Dance. The dance, a family affair, will be located downtown on Laurens Street at North Union Street. The band, Wildfi re will entertain throughout the dance with hours 7 – 10 PM. This year marks the fi rst year the rally will expand into four-days. In 2008, the event went to three-days. “We’re proud to be involved in the addition of a street dance during the Rally in the Valley,” said Dick Heidrick, SVP at

Community Bank. “The Rally is a family-focused event and what better way to show off downtown but with this new event in the heart of downtown.” This year marks the 9th anniversary of the event hosted by the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce and the Olean Motorcycle Enthusiasts. Rally in the Valley was introduced to the area by local business leaders who saw what other communities have done with similar events and wanted to bring that same type of experience to Olean. They knew the event would draw many people from outside the area and the longer they ran the event the larger it would grow. In addition, they knew there were many bikers in this area that would love an event like this that was close to home. Since 2003, the event has grown: in terms of number of days held (2-4); number of dice run participants (149 - 683); number of contests (3-6); and spectators (2,500 - 6,230). “We have gone to great lengths and take great pride in the fact that our Rally in the Valley continues to be an event that

all members of the family can attend. We get a great feeling just seeing little kids walking with dad and mom looking at all of the motorcycles. It is a great feeling to be able to take a hobby that we are so passionate about, and use it to make money for some very worthy people around Olean. We are very thankful for the continued support we receive from the great people of Olean and the Chamber of Commerce,” stated the chairs of the Rally event, Dennis Jones, Randy Langdon, Dan Jordan, Larry Penman, and Alan Roth. Through the 8th annual Rally in the Valley, we have been able to give more than $116,000.00 to local charities,” said Rally Co-Chair Dennis Jones. The charities that will benefi t this year include the Southern Tier Child Advocacy Center; the ReHabilitation Center; the Dempsey Club; Olean Airport Support Group; Mercy Flight; and Southern Tier Military Support Group. For more information on the Annual Rally in the Valley, call Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce at 716-372-4433.

Art Apprentice ProgramRoutes to Art Introduces New Student Initiative, May 20-22, 2011

The Cattaraugus County Arts Council is excited to introduce a new element to the Routes to Art (RTA) weekend in 2011. The RTA Apprentice Project would allow RTA artists to serve as an artistic mentor for an area high school student

during the RTA weekend, May 20-22, 2011. This is an opportunity for local teenagers with a demonstrated interest in art to experience an open studio tour along with a working artist. Student apprentices will assist with setting up displays,

greeting visitors, hanging signs, or learning form the artists. If you are interested in participating in the project, please contact Heather Carroll at [email protected] or 716-372-7455 by Friday, April 22nd.

Deal Widens Bank’s ReachCommunity Bank Completes Purchase of Wilber Corp of Oneonta

Community Bank System, which operates 33 branches in Western New York’s Southern Tier, said Monday it had completed its purchase of the Wilber Corp. of Oneonta. The previously announced cash-and- stock deal adds $870 million in assets and 22

branches in Central New York, expanding Community Bank into seven new counties in the Central Leatherstocking, Greater Capital District and Catskills regions of the state. The combined bank now has $6.3 billion in assets and $4.6 billion in deposits, with 170

branches in upstate New York and northeastern Pennsylvania, as well as an employee benefi ts administration and consulting fi rm, an insurance agency, a brokerage and the Williamsville-based Nottingham Advisors wealth management fi rm.

Scholarship AvailableCatt. Cty Sheriff Benevolent Assoc. Now Taking Applicants for 2011

LITTLE VALLEY—The Cattaraugus County Sheriff Employees Benevolent Association is taking applications for its 2011 scholarship award for $4,500. The scholarship is available to any high school senior in Cattaraugus County planning to enter the criminal justice or police science fi eld and is limited to law enforcement. Anyone interested should contact the guidance offi ce in his or her school for an application. Applications must be postmarked by May 23.

Local Bank RecognizedFive Star Bank Ranks Warsaw Branch 76th out of 764 Eligible Banks

Financial Institutions, parent of Five Star Bank, was ranked among the top 100 best-performing community banks in the country, according to a new ranking of the nation’s smallest banks by a prominent national research fi rm specializing in fi nancial services. SNL Financial ranked the Warsaw-based banking company 76th on the list, which was compiled from among 764 eligible community banks. It’s the only bank in Western New York to make the list. Charlottesville, Va.-based SNL evaluated banks based on their pre-tax return on average assets, net charge-offs or write-

offs as a percent of average loans, adjusted bad loans as a percent of total loans, operating expenses as a percentage of operating revenues, profi t margin on loans, and loan growth. The fi rm looked only at banks with between $500 million and $5 billion in assets, and less than 61 offi ces. Arrow Financial Corp. of Glens Falls, Bank of Utica and Canandaigua National Corp. from upstate New York also made the list, at 68th, 93rd and 96th, respectively. In a statement, Financial Institutions President and CEO Peter G. Humphrey attributed the company’s inclusion on

the list to its basic approach to banking. Besides the SNL ranking, the bank was also named to Sandler O’Neill & Partners LP’s All Stars list of top performing publicly traded small-cap banks, based on growth, profi tability, credit quality and capital strength. Sandler selected only 32 of 503 institutions with less than $2 billion in market value. “Five Star Bank continues to be an active lender in our marketplace. We continue to drive solid revenue growth by meeting the fi nancial needs of the communities we serve while maintaining an acute focus on asset quality,” said Humphrey.

Dougherty to PerformBorder Crosser Poet to Present at Olean Library April 26

Sean Thomas Dougherty will present his work at the Olean Public Library, corner of second and Laurens streets, Tuesday, April 26 at 7 p.m. He will be talking to classes at Olean High School in the afternoon. Sean Thomas Dougherty is a self-described “underground sound.” A border crosser by birth,

Dougherty was raised in a politically radical, interracial family by an African-American stepfather and a mother of Eastern-European Jewish descent. He is the author or editor of eleven books including Sasha Sings the Laundry on the Line (2010 BOA Editions), the novella The Blue City (Marick

Press, Wayne State U 2008) and Broken Hallelujahs (BOA Editions 2007). His book Nightshift Belonging to Lorca (2004 Mammoth Books) was a fi nalist for the Paterson Poetry Prize. He is the recipient of two “Pennsylvania Council for the Arts” Fellowships in Poetry and a Fulbright Lectureship to the Balkans. Known for his electrifying performances he has performed at hundreds of venues, universities and festivals across North America and Europe including the Lollapalooza Music Festival, the Detroit Art Festival, the Associated Writing Programs Conference, the Rochester

Symphony Orchestra, the Erie Jazz Festival, the London (UK) Poetry Cafe and the BardFest Series in Budapest Hungary, and across Albania and Macedonia where he appeared on national television, sponsored by the US States Department. He has worked as a professor, in factories, warehouses, as a security guard, in a bakery, a sawmill, and as a teacher of at-risk youth. Dougherty argues that the ancient and honorable art of poetry is the language of peace. As he says, “Poetry is the opposite of barbed wire.” The performance is sponsored in part by funds from the New York State Council on the Arts.

INTRODUCING THE NEW 2011 SORENTO.STATE OF THE ART TECHNOLOGY.

SPORTY STYLING. SPACIOUS INTERIOR.

Leaky nuclear reactors in Japan, revolution in the Middle East, sky-high gas prices at home. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a get away spot that feels far removed from the travail of these modern days? Well, wish no more, for I have found a beautiful house, surrounded by nothing but forest; the perfect antidote to our modern worlds 24-hour cycle of bad news. Driving out Hencoop Hollow Road I pass ponds, and rolling farm land until I feel I’m leaving the world behind me. I come to a private wooded lane and head up the hill. Through the trees I spot the house and turn onto the gravel driveway. The house stands in a clearing in the forest. Its cedar siding blends in with the forest setting. A yard has been cleared in front of the house to give it a view out to the forest. I stop to listen; nothing but the sound of a few early season birds and the murmur of the wind in the trees. There are no other homes in sight. But I’m here to review the

house not the forest, so I head inside. The front door is in a pop-out on the side of the

house. It contains a mudroom with its own closet. Stepping into the house, the great room opens up before me. The fi rst thing I notice is the two-story wall of windows at the far end of the room. The tongue and grove cedar ceiling vaults high overhead. The high windows seem to tower over the forest outside, and fl ood the room with the morning sunlight. In the far corner a wood-burning fi replace is ready to provide winter warmth. Its stone chimney and wood mantle lend a rustic air to the room. Leather sofas are arraigned to provide a view of either the fi replace or the wide screen TV next to it. The dining area is large enough to fi t just about any size table. Berber carpeting extends throughout the great room. At the far side of the room is a pair of glass doors that lead out to the deck along the side and front of the house. From the deck the view is nothing but trees. The kitchen is a gourmets delight, with plenty of space to encourage creativity. The main feature is a generous work island that doubles as a breakfast bar. Overhead spotlights shine down on the island to give it a dramatic spotlight effect. The beautiful

hickory cabinets blend with the hardwood fl ooring, composite counter tops, and open beam ceiling. Black appliances give the kitchen a modern sleek look. Across from the island is a closet style pantry. Over the gas fi red stove and range is a microwave/hood combination. Just off the kitchen is a bath with a shower stall and two bedrooms. Up the stairs from the living room is the master suite. It’s high angled ceiling provides a spacious look. A ceiling fan hangs to circulate the air. The room features two large his and hers walk-in closets. The mater bath features a whirlpool tub with shower. Altogether it’s a cozy and private place for Mom and Dad to get away. A door in the kitchen opens to a staircase that goes down to the bottom fl oor. At the base of the stairs is a large family room. It’s plenty large enough to accommodate an entertainment center, pool table, or whatever you desire. French doors lead to a patio outside. Just off the family room is a bedroom, currently set up as a bunk room, but is really big enough to be a second master suite. At one end you can walk though a closet area to reach a private bathroom. The bedroom is big

enough to accommodate a full bedroom set. Down the hall is another bathroom and two more bedrooms. At the end of the hall is the mechanical room with laundry. It’s about now I realize just how big this house is. At over 3,300 square feet, fi ve bedrooms and four full

baths, you can escape here with a passel of family and friends. Escape is truly what I wound up considering as I toured the house. Out every window is a view of mostly forest or the yard. No road noise, or neighbors can encroach on this private three-acre setting. It’s

splendid isolation and yet only two miles to HoliMont and just a bit further to downtown. This house is a welcome respite from our hectic world. For more information abut this home contact Cathy Pritchard at ERA Vacation Properties 716-983-4234.

town planning board are also concerned. Those who would be most affected, the nearby residents, remain opposed to the fi ve hundred-foot towers. The Allegany Town Planning Board is almost ready to approve the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS). A special meeting of the board is set for April 27th, when a vote on the FEIS is expected. If the FEIS is approved, a public hearing will be held on May 16th, but only if the planning board issues the FEIS. Planning Board Chairman Bob Phillips says public comments on any aspect of the project would be taken at that time. Comment might be limited to three minutes. Philips agrees with Eaton that a lengthy approval process still lies ahead. “We have to approve the special use permit. When we get done with our set (of approvals) then it goes to the town board. Then they have their level of approval.” Planning board members

concentrated on the noise level issue during their recent meeting. Board member Peter Hellier wondered whether he would if able to hear a wind turbine, if he was “relaxing maybe with a cool drink” at a distance where the noise level would be at forty decibels. He was told that a person would probably hear mostly background noise like the birds singing, but the possibility of hearing sound from a turbine could not be ruled out, most likely as an occasional “whoosh.” It was pointed out that a lot depends on the angle from which you are listening at any given spot. Philips wants Everpower to “clearly identify any non-complying turbines.” Kevin Sheen, Director of Development for Everpower, said his company has “looked at every option to identify non-compliance issues” with regard to the individual turbines. The plan is for construction of twenty-nine wind turbines on the ridges stretching in a line southeast below the hamlet of Vandalia. That’s east of Allegany State Park. In addition to the state park,

the towers would also be visible from the Rock City area south of Olean. The closest home would be located over half a mile from a wind turbine. Sheen expects project construction to take from six to nine months. The Allegany Town Board is voting this week on whether to approve an application for a Wind Corridor Overlay District as requested by Everpower. “It’s procedural, but we’ll have a lot of questions for Dan Spitzer (the town’s attorney for the wind project) including what exactly are the parameters of the corridor overlay district, where the towers are going to be located, and where the (access) roads are.” In other action, the Allegany Town Planning Board approved plans for a twenty-four thousand square foot, two-story addition to rear of the St. Elizabeth Motherhouse. The new space will include a nursing home area and a new storage building. Neighbors have expressed no opposition. Construction should take six months to one year.

This year is particularly special for the band to join our community for the festival weekend as it will not only be the fi rst July 4th weekend under the title of the “Summer Music Festival,” but also the fi rst concert planned by a special committee set up by the Chamber of Commerce. The committee was set up to generate a concert for Friday night of the weekend specifi cally targeting younger generations. The committee itself comprises

the talents and creative minds of Pat Morgan, Dean Whitcomb, Kelly Friel, Heather Snyder, Laura Solly, and Sean Lowes. Head of the Chamber of Commerce, Brian McFadden has deemed the efforts of the group a “complete success” thus far and looks forward to seeing the turnout at the event. Gates will open for Rusted Root Friday night, July 1st at 6:30 pm where those in attendance will have the opportunity to “keep tappin’” their feet to local hip hop artist, Dean Whitcomb who will take stage in an opening act at approximately 7pm. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to show your support to a talented

local artist as well as enjoying an evening of entertainment from a platinum-selling band in Rusted Root! Tickets will be available May 1, 2011 through the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce, which can be reached at 716-699-5046 or at 1-800-349-9099. Price is set at $20.00 per advance ticket for lawn seating. The stage will be set up at Holiday Valley, where parking will also be available for concert goers. Be sure to check in at the Chamber website at www.ellicottvilleny.com for more information regarding the event and for a full schedule for the “Summer Music Festival Weekend.

car zigzags through the trees down the ravine towards the base, and contains controls so the passengers can control the cars speed. “It is a thrilling ride as you go whipping through the trees,” she said. Eshbaugh said the mountain coaster is likely to be fi nished in July, and would remain open all year. She said the goal of the Sky High Adventure Park is to attract more offseason tourists to the resort, as well as offering more incentives for conferences and groups seeking to use team-building exercises. The new park will be open to the public. All participants must be able to perform specifi c physical requirements. The minimum age for use of the aerial park is seven. The Mountain Coaster has a minimum height requirement of 36 inches if riding with an adult or 42 inches if riding alone. The resort will require participants to listen to a safety lecture and wear a special

climbing harness featuring a double locking lanyard with a special latch system that only allows one end of the latch to open at a time thereby keeping participants connected to a safety line even when changing courses. Eshbaugh said that other improvements for the resort are planned, including the installation of new pipeline and hydrants along the recently completed Bear Cub beginner slope. The resort also plans to install new automated snowmaking on the Mardi Gras trail. The automated system allows the resort to create snow more effi ciently while using fewer resources. A computer linked to two weather stations, one near the top and bottom respectively, controls the snowmaking machines, and allows the units to adjust for differences in temperature, humidity, wind and other various factors that can control snow quality along the slope. Eshbaugh said this allows the resort to best utilize weather windows that are optimal for snowmaking. Another upgrade is the planned

replacement of the double chairlift at SnowPine Village with a quad chairlift. In addition, the resort will purchase a Grooming Machine. The groomer has a hydraulic tiller on the rear that resurfaces the ski slopes each night by grinding up the top layer of fi rm snow and laying down a soft corduroy surface. The machine also has a hydraulic blade on the front, which can be used either to smooth out humps, or to add moguls or shapes. She said that plans are also underway to design and build a new Clubhouse Chalet. “This process has taken several years to plan, and construction will most likely take place next spring,” she said. Timing will be critical, as the entire building must be complete by the start of the 2012-13 winter season. The resort also plans to alter the course of the Holiday Valley Road, which currently runs straight between the Clubhouse and parking area, which currently forces people to cross the road to reach the ski slopes from the parking area. The new route will redirect around the parking area, creating easier access for patrons.

mugs with beer, soda or water and share camaraderie. Once the destination is reached, the participants will return to Great Valley for a chicken dinner, said Rich Rinko, vice president of the fi re company. Rinko expects this year’s cap of 3,300 participants to place about 1,800 boats in the regatta. In the past participants have come from as faraway as Texas and the United Kingdom to participate, and many return from year-to-year. “There should be about 1,800 boats this year,” he said. “Mostly

canoes and kayaks are used but some people make rafts. It’s really whatever fl oats but mostly canoes and kayaks.” At the end of the regatta, the fi re company busses all the participants and their boats back to the campground and to the Fire Hall for a chicken dinner, Rinko said. Wendel’s, based out of Concord, N.Y., cooks the chicken and the fi re department prepares the rest of the dinner. “We used to cook it all ourselves but it started to get too big for us to handle everything alone,” said Rinko. When the regatta fi rst began in 1975, only about 10-12 boats that participated. It has since grown to include more than 1,500 boats with participants coming from all

over the country, Rinko said. In the past, the regatta has offered an optional race but will not this year due to low participation. “In the last fi ve-to-10 years, there has been about only a dozen racing and the other 1,200 or so just fl oating,” Rinko said. “It has turned into more of a social gathering than a race.” All proceeds from the regatta go toward the Great Valley Volunteer Fire Company. “Regatta really funds our fi re department for the year,” Rinko said. “ It pays for everything down here except for the fi re trucks, which the town pays for. … It’s a really great time.” The Great Valley Volunteer Fire Department can be reached at (716) 945-1398.

Up Close & PersonalBob Ryan; Boston Globe Sports Writer Meets with The Villager

BY DEAN WHITCOMB

It’s not often anymore in the world of professional sports that you hear words like “loyalty, fairness and honesty.” It’s rare to see anyone in sports considering spending their entire career in one place. Maybe athletes and coaches need to go back a few decades before teams traveled on charter fl ights and built private practice facilities. Maybe they need to sit down and get to know Bob Ryan of the Boston Globe. He could show them a thing or two about all of that.

This June 10th, Ryan will celebrate his 43rd anniversary with The Boston Globe. It’s the only newspaper he has ever worked for. He rocked my head with all of the amazing sporting events he’s been privileged to be a part of in four plus decades of sports writing. He was asked to make the trip to St. Bonaventure to speak on sports writing, a topic he obviously knows intimately from his incredible career. His thesis? Objectivity does not exist in sports writing. “Think about it,” Ryan states,

“no matter how you report sports you’re not being objective. You look back at the game and you see, for example, an inning that changed the whole momentum of the game. You pick that and write about that moment, when somebody else may see it completely different. Honesty and fairness are important to have in sports reporting, sure, but Objectivity? Objectivity doesn’t count.” Originally from Trenton, NJ,

Ryan has always had a taste for sports. He recalls the 1950s and 1960s in Trenton as being such

a “fruitful place” for sports as it was centrally locate between New York City and Philadelphia. He deemed it “such and intense place for sports,” and believes it played a major roll in his career choice. Ryan recounts perhaps his fondest memories with The Boston Globe and, with good reason, has trouble narrowing it down to one or two things. “I’d probably have to say all my years covering the Celtics exclusively,” Ryan grins, “In 1969 I started covering them and that’s when they fi rst started encouraging me to be a bit fl amboyant in my writing. They gave me access to great sports teams and just let me be myself. Then of course there were the ‘80s and even this past decade with the Patriots, Red Sox and Celtics. Nobody foresaw what the Patriots would do in the 2000s, not even them. The Red Sox’ World Series title over the Yankees? That doom and gloom surrounding game three and then 11 nights later they were world champions? It was incredible.” Bob Ryan answered questions about anything and everything that night, however, perhaps his response to my inquiry about his wedding ring was the most encouraging and impressive. “Yes. I’ve been married to the same woman since 1969,” Ryan states, “I just have to say one thing about marriage. If you try to keep a relationship with someone who doesn’t like what you do…doesn’t understand your job and hobbies…doesn’t want to be a part of it, then I don’t know what you’re doing. It’s give and take. My wife loves sports and wants to be a part of

my life within them. I want to be a part of her life, too. People just don’t seem to get that anymore.” Ryan’s views are intense and direct. When he speaks, its as if he’s writing and has had time to think and plan out exactly what he wants to say. This must be part of what makes him a great sports writer. He has a unique gift that he has crafted and built into a fi nely-tuned machine. He’s always using his journalistic talents no matter what. When he speaks, he makes points. When he writes, he captivates readers. When others are talking, he looks them in the eye and listens. I still can’t believe Bob Ryan actually sat down with me. It’s surreal. He defi nitely tells it as he sees it, which I suppose is a good thing and completely supports his thesis for the SBU speech. He’s fair. He’s honest. But objective? Not a bit. Thanks Bob Ryan, you’re an unbelievable writer and a great person.
