I admired it for a moment and assumed it was a shared photo from some random website where you are never actually sure where it came from, however - much to my surprise - it was a handmade piece that one of my friends right here in Ellicottville made.

If you live in or drove through Ellicottville and the surrounding towns in the past week, you may have noticed quite a few giant purple ribbons tied around trees and hanging on front doors. Well there is a reason for all the purple and it’s a pretty good one. The annual Relay For Life is coming up in a couple weeks and Paint The Town Purple activities were held as a community wide kick-off to raise

awareness for the upcoming Relay which raises badly needed money to help fight Cancer. As part of the activities, local businesses in both Ellicottville and Little Valley decorated their stores in purple, and a friendly competition was held. This year’s participation was excellent and Paint The Town Purple judges had their work cut out for them. Judging took place on Monday and first place went to Watson’s Chocolates in Ellicottville with Cattaraugus County

Bank in Little Valley taking second, and the Catt County Employees Credit Union, also in Little Valley, coming in third. On Saturday June 1st, good people from all over Cattaraugus County will be making their way to the Ellicottville Central School track for the annual Relay for Life 12-hour marathon of love fundraiser to help end the scourge of cancer, and at the same time - pay tribute to the brave survivors. For those not familiar with the Relay

for Life, it’s a community based fundraising walk organized by the Olean branch of the American Cancer Society with all proceeds going to help fund programs and services provided locally by ACS. To join in the fun, participants simply register to be on a team and show up at the Ellicottville Central School track at 12 Noon where they should be ready to meet, walk and talk with some great people who have

Ellicottville Town Planners anticipate new construction for Tim Horton’s will meet permits granted for the old building where it was originally expected on Route 219. During a Monday Town Planning Board meeting, board members questioned if a new building expected to be constructed for the business met the previously-acquired permits that were granted when plans called for reuse of an older building. Planner Carol Horowitz explained

that Tim Horton’s conducted a structural analysis on the existing building, which led Tim Horton’s staffers to believe a building on the site where their business will sit could accommodate their plans. However as detailed construction plans were developed, they determined that there were issues involved in the reuse of the building. The new building remains within the footprint of the previous one and will be identical in appearance, Mrs. Horowitz said, so it will meet the previously acquired permit. Also during the meeting, planners

Story By JohN thomaS StaFF Writer

While workmen made progress on transforming some of the front offices in the Co-Op Extension building into a courtroom for the town, the board held a special meeting to discuss more remodeling plans. The meeting was held in the auditorium of the building. Supervisor John Burrell chose the location because the room was the subject for discussion. The large room has a stage at one end and seating capacity for roughly 250 people. At the far end, a partition was constructed to create what looks like a small conference room with a sink, microwave oven, tables and chairs. It extends only across one half of the back end of the room, leaving an open

space for the rear exit. Sliding wood doors close it off from the rest of the auditorium. As the board discussed how to make the room useful, other considerations came into the conversation.

Story ByJohN thomaS, StaFF Writer

electioN reSultS At the ECS board meeting Tuesday night Superintendent Mark Ward presented the winners of the election for new school board members. In first place with 171 votes was Roger Spell. Second and third place winners were William (Bill) Murphy and Leonard (Len) Zlockie, with 155 and 148 votes respectively. Once the results were approved, Mr. Zlockie was administered his oath of office and took a seat at the board table. He will be serving the four years that remained on Aimee Kilby’s board seat. Mr. Murphy will be sworn in at the District reorganizational meeting in early July while Roger Spell will

continue to serve his current term. Earlier in the meeting the board received a report on the activities of Dan LaCroix, the elementary school Guidance Counselor. He spends his time facilitating various programs for the 1st through 6th graders. Anti-bullying programs take up some of his time, among them: Empathy Training, Impulse Control / Problem Solving, and Anger Management. Other programs he runs are: fingerprinting for K through 5th grades, Poison Prevention, Stranger Danger, Internet Safety, and Bike Safety. He said he is spending more time greeting the busses in the morning as the students arrive at school. This allows him to build rapport with the students and

little village this weekend. Our annual Memorial Day garage sale will be held Saturday and Sunday. We’re not talking about some puny little rummage sale here – this is a bargainer’s dream! Antiques, furniture, bikes, books, sporting equipment, clothes, – just a smidge of what will be on the tables throughout the village and town. Residents have been busy scouring their basements, attics and garages searching for just the right treasures to put out there. It’s a veritable extravaganza of second-hand goods and it all has to go! Talk about capitalism at its finest … While you’re out there enjoying some sunshine and rummaging, keep in mind we owe our pre-summer break to the thousands of men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. I speak, of course, of those who have perished while serving in the armed forces. If you really think about it,

Memorial Day will be a somber day for the many families who have lost loved ones ensuring our country’s liberty. And for the over 8,000 veterans still living in Cattaraugus County, this is a time for remembrance of the friends lost who served alongside them; those who literally “gave their all.” Imagine being a mom or a dad whose son or daughter is currently serving in Iraq or Afghanistan or some other dangerous place. For them, each and every day must start and end with a prayer of protection for their child. So, dear readers, by all means, enjoy this wonderful weekend to its fullest. Just make sure you remember – even briefly – why you’re able to live in such a wonderful place at such a wonderful time. It’s all about freedom and it’s about those who contributed to this end in the most honorable of ways. Until next week …

STW: Project UpdatesVillage Casino, Broadband Internet & Promoting Local Foods

By NicholaS PircioWPig, 95.7 Fm

Ongoing projects were updated during the May 16th meeting of the Southern Tier West Regional Planning and Development Board. Among them are redoing the Village Casino Restaurant in Bemus Point, the expansion of broadband internet service, and the effort to promote locally grown foods in schools and restaurants.BemuS PoiNt village caSiNo The Bemus Point project is awaiting approval of monies from a publicly funded grant. An application has been submitted toward the total estimated cost of $466,710. In his Executive Director’s report to the Southern Tier board, Richard Zink stated that the project is being reviewed by the New York State Office of Community Renewal, to determine the eligibility of the project before the complete

list is returned to the Western New York Regional Economic Development Council, to determine the rankings for funding priority. The work involves renovating the Village Casino Restaurant inside and out, with the goal being to make the second floor usable to the general public, and increase the building’s economic impact. BroadBaNd iNterNet acceSS As for broadband internet service in areas currently underserved, Zink met with DFT Communications concerning the tower locations that will be utilized with the latest round of funding from New York State. Zink stated, “They (DFT) are looking at several locations across Chautauqua and Cattaraugus Counties and plan to have the viewsheds (broadband coverage areas) completed within the next two weeks. Once the maps are received, the staff, DFT and the counties will decide on the best locations to build out.” Tower locations have been discussed for Arkwright, Gowanda, Little Valley, and the Town of Allegany. The goal is to have the broadband transmitters functioning this calendar year.

local FoodS Kimberly LaMendola, Regional Development Coordinator for Southern Tier West, gave a presentation to the planning board on the local foods project, focusing on the effort to provide eligible schools with locally grown foods. She explained that according

to the informal definition as applied to western New York, local foods are those grown in Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, Allegany, Erie and Niagara Counties. “Our intent is to have all people regardless of socio-economic status to have access to fresh, local, healthy foods at affordable prices.” LaMendola says that in bringing locally grown foods to school children, it is important to re-establish linkages between schools and farms that used to exist decades ago. She notes that because of the way agriculture has evolved into big business nationwide, food can be moved thousands of miles from its sources, such as tomatoes grown year-round in California and Florida. “We’ve really lost our diversity in our connection between the farms and the schools.” The local foods project must cope with stringent nutritional guidelines followed by schools. “We are trying to get some use of some local products in school meal programs, so that kids have exposure to new taste profiles. And then hopefully, they will go home and talk to the people who live in their house, ‘Hey I had this green stuff on my tray today, but it was really good!” LaMendola gave an example of butternut squash soup as something the children might like, along with vegetables and whole grain bread. She feels that incorporating local foods into school lunches will help tackle the problem of child obesity.

If you have driven through the villages of Ellicottville or Little Valley lately, you have probably noticed large purple ribbons tied to tree trunks and telephone poles. The towns were recently “painted purple,” which of course, signals that it is once again time to Relay in Ellicottville. The annual Relay For Life is back and looking to accomplish some fantastic fundraising goals. “We had great participation with paint the town purple this year,” said Crystal Page, ACS Director of Special Events for Cattaraugus County. “We had businesses in Ellicottville and Little Valley take part. The winner of the judging competition was Watsons in Ellicottville. There were so many wonderful displays and it was a tough decision. Cattaraugus County Bank and the Credit Union in Little Valley came in a close second and third.” Saturday, June 1, 2013 marks the date of this year’s event, which will return to the track at Ellicottville Central School. It will start at 12pm and end at

Relay For LifeEllicottville Comes Together To Take A Stand Against Cancer

12am on June 2. In that 12-hour period, hundreds of people will share the moving experience that is Relay For Life. Last year the Ellicottville Relay raised over $48,000 - all of which went to the fight against cancer. Approximately 45 cancer survivors were in attendance. The fundraising goal this year is $53,000. They are looking to get at least 200 people and 20 teams involved in the celebration. At this time there are 13 teams and 98 participants signed up. So far the teams have raised over $11,000 and there are still teams who have fundraising events planned before the June 1st event. For example, on Sunday May 26 there will be a fundraiser held at the Little Valley Speedway during the season Opener for the local racing scene. “The Relay For Life of Ellicottville is one of the longest running Relays in the Western New York region,” said Page. “This is thanks to the wonderful community that year after year supports the American Cancer Society by taking part in the Relay For

Life. Ellicottville’s Relay has been going on for over 10 years with not only the Ellicottville community supporting us, but many of the surrounding communities as well!” There is plenty to do throughout the day at Relay. DJ Xcite Sounds will be playing all day and WGWE out of Salamanca will be onsite for a live broad cast during the event. Opening ceremony is at noon followed by the Survivor lap at 12:20pm. The Chicken BBQ will be available at 1 and will go till they are sold out and the popular live auction will be at 3:00pm. The always-emotional Luminaria Ceremony is at 9:30pm. The American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life is an awe-inspiring, global event that takes place in over 20 countries. More then 4 million people from all walks of life come together every year with the same goal in mind - to raise money for and create awareness about the programs that the American Cancer Society (ACS) funds. The ultimate goal: to create a future without cancer. The ACS wants you and your loved ones to one day live in a world that does not fear the life-altering disease that is cancer. And not just one particular form of cancer. All cancers. It is a tremendous task to take on and one that requires the utmost dedication and fortitude. Check out www.relayforlife.org for details on Relay. While there, you can find more information on the Ellicottville event by searching for “Ellicottville, NY” in the search field.

New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) Commissioner Joan McDonald today announced the allocation of federal funding to replace the former Route 219 (South Cascade Drive and Miller Road) Bridge over Cattaraugus Creek in the towns of Concord, Erie County and Ashford, Cattaraugus County. “The State Department of Transportation continues to work with our federal, state and local officials under the leadership of Governor Cuomo, to improve our transportation infrastructure to serve the needs of our communities,” said Commissioner McDonald. “Area residents and local businesses made it clear that they depend heavily on this bridge crossing as an important transportation link between Erie and Cattaraugus counties, and a vital conduit for the local economy.” Due to structural concerns, the existing bridge, built in 1956, was temporarily closed to all traffic in 2012. The Department accelerated emergency structural repairs and the bridge was re-opened ahead of schedule. The bridge remains open and posted for a maximum weight limit of 15 tons. “Along with local highway and elected officials, our office has been advocating for much needed repairs along the Route 219 corridor since being elected to Congress, and we are pleased to hear the state has decided to improve such a critical lifeline to our local economy as the Route 219 Bridge,” said Representative Tom Reed whose district includes Cattaraugus County. “During a meeting with highway commissioners just last month, we discussed the Route 219 project and its prospects. Today, thanks to successful partnerships with local, state and federal partners, we are pleased to join in recognizing that funds will ensure safe, reliable transportation for all

219 Bridge ReplacementNYSDOT Announces Project Scheduled For Construction In 2015

who use the 219 corridor.” Congressman Chris Collins said, “While divided by Cattaraugus Creek, southern Erie and Cattaraugus counties are, in many ways, one community. The former Route 219 Bridge is critical to this dynamic. Its replacement will ensure safe and convenient travel will occur between these two counties for a long time to come to the benefit of the local economy. This is an appropriate use of federal tax dollars and I look forward to the completion of this project.” “Making this federal funding available satisfies a critical transportation need,” said Congressman Brian Higgins, whose congressional district included the Erie County portion of the bridge until January 2013. “Not long ago, when the condition of the bridge severely impacted local merchants, our office joined with residents, community leaders and our partners in government to address the situation. Now, with the allocation of these federal funds, the state can ensure this critical link remains open for businesses and as well as for regional and international visitors who use the 219 corridor every day.” Senator Catharine Young said, “The long term prospects for the bridge were in doubt, and we worked with Governor Cuomo to secure its future. It was a huge relief to small businesses and residents when it reopened after repairs, and now rebuilding the bridge is tremendously important to our economy and quality of life. This project will create construction jobs and continue commerce. I salute the Governor and DOT for their leadership, and thank local residents for their advocacy. Citizens can and do make a difference every day.” “For years the residents and businesses of Springville and northern Cattaraugus County have made their sentiments known that the old Route 219

Bridge is more than a viaduct connecting two counties; it is an essential component of their local identity and economic future,” said Senator Patrick Gallivan. “Today’s news that federal funding has been secured to replace the existing structure with a modern span is a direct result of their years of patience and persistence. I thank my partners in state and federal government who have helped realize this day, but the true thanks belongs to the citizens who made it their mission to ensure their community’s voices were heard and its interests defended.” “For several years, I have heard from residents and businesses along Route 219 in both Cattaraugus and Erie counties,” said Assemblyman Joseph Giglio. “It’s critically important that the replacement of this bridge over Cattaraugus Creek is completed. I applaud the Department of Transportation for allocating funds for the project, and for continuing to be fully engaged with the community about the repair and replacement of the bridge.” “I campaigned on securing the funding to replace this bridge for the people of my district, and I want to thank everyone who helped to accomplish this goal,” said Assemblyman David DiPietro. “I’m glad we were able to come through for the people of my community, who have been more than patient about the completion of this major project.” The safety of the traveling public is NYSDOT’s primary mission. NYSDOT monitors bridge safety through a thorough and rigorous inspection system. The South Cascade Drive and Miller Road Bridge over Cattaraugus Creek is inspected annually. The project to replace the South Cascade Drive and Miller Road Bridge is now in preliminary design and is scheduled to begin construction in 2015.

Day Trippin’Buffalo Museum of Science; BODY WORLDS Vital Experience May 31

The Buffalo Museum of Science (BMS) announced today that it will welcome BODY WORLDS Vital, one of the latest exhibitions in the groundbreaking BODY WORLDS series on May 31, 2013 for a limited engagement. This exhibition, created by world-renowned Dr. Gunther von Hagens features real, donated human specimens allowing visitors to examine anatomy, physiology and health through an extraordinary process called Plastination. The exhibition is presented by Independent Health and M&T Bank. In contrast with the heart-focused BODY WORLDS hosted by BMS in 2009, Vital explores the capabilities of the human body and tells the pressing story of how best to defeat life-threatening diseases through informed choices and lifestyle changes. The 6,000 sq. foot exhibition presents both healthy and diseased specimens designed to show visitors the essentials for human health and wellness. Whole body plastinates, individual organs, organ and arterial configurations and translucent slices give a complete picture of how the body functions. “We’re extremely excited to bring one of the latest BODY WORLDS exhibitions to Buffalo and continue our ongoing conversation on how certain lifestyle choices can either positively or negatively affect our health,” said Mark Mortenson, BMS president

and CEO. “We have often been asked when we would be bringing BODY WORLDS back to the Museum, and now those who enjoyed or missed Story of the Heart now have another chance to experience Vital.” “The success of our 2009 BODY WORLDS engagement made it financially possible for us to begin the transformation of the museum experience with the installation of interactive science studios. Vital presents us with an opportunity to showcase these new permanent spaces to new audiences and provide a full museum experience to guests of all ages this summer.” BMS welcomed 160,000 guests over 88 days to BODY WORLDS & the Story of the Heart in summer 2009, double the Museum’s average annual attendance at the time. Since then, it has opened its interactive Explorations early childhood experience, a National Geographic 3D Cinema, the health sciences studio, Explore YOU presented by Independent Health, and the Earth systems science studio, Our Marvelous Earth. The museum’s third science studio, In Motion will open June 22, 2013. Mortenson added that the Museum will partner with a number of regional businesses and organizations, including Vital’s presenting sponsors Independent Health and M&T Bank, to enhance the Vital experience. “Health and science are a natural partnership and Independent Health is proud to sponsor

the new BODY WORLDS Vital exhibit,” said Michael W. Cropp, M.D., president and CEO, Independent Health. “This exhibit is a valuable way to learn about the potential of your body and how best to overcome life-threatening diseases through informed choices and lifestyle changes. This exhibit and our partnership with the Buffalo Museum of Science align with our efforts to engage and educate Western New Yorkers on the benefits of adopting healthy lifestyles to create a culture of health in our community.” “M&T’s sponsorship of the 2009 exhibition of BODY WORLDS was so positive, that we are delighted at the opportunity to sponsor Vital for its first visit to New York State,” said Shelley C. Drake, President, The M&T Charitable Foundation. “All the results were outstanding – museum attendance, revenues and program momentum – all worked beautifully to benefit the Museum and provide a great visitor experience. We are confident the same success will be repeated with BODY WORLDS Vital.” Harris Beach PLLC is the local Supporting Sponsor of Vital with Lamar Advertising, the Buffalo News and WGRZ Channel 2 providing Media Partnership support. Timed tickets for BODY WORLDS Vital are now available for purchase at www.sciencebuff.org. Tickets include general admission to the museum, including its new science studios.

Up Close & PersonalTrevor Brachmann – Wire Wrapped Art

By: KriSty KoeBel

One evening I was browsing Facebook when I came across a picture of a beautiful piece of jewelry. I admired it for a moment and assumed it was a shared photo from some random website where you are never actually sure where it came from, however - much to my surprise - it was a handmade piece that one of my friends right here in Ellicottville made. I’m happy to say I now own one of Trevor Brachmann’s pieces and have been in love with it since. It is truly a piece of art I can wear around my neck! I’ve also had so many questions since then, so I caught up with Trevor to find out a little more about his art. Does this type of jewelry have a certain name? I have only heard of it referred to as wire wrapped jewelry. What inspired you to want to start making this type of jewelry? Where did you first see it? I lived in a house rented from a wonderful jeweler, K Robins, who inspired me to make jewelry. I dug the wilder, wire wrapped style, so I went for it! I probably saw this style first on the Internet, and in person on several people in Chicago while visiting. I love the geometric patterns created in crystal

growth, and feel that the more flowing style of the wire adds more of a flowing look. Every piece is an investment: both in art, precious metal and gems. Are all your pieces handmade? Yes, all of my pieces are handmade. Some people like to use drills to coil wire, but it’s a rather meditative process for me, so I take my time. Do you use different tools to make these pieces or just your bare hands? And with that being said, do your hands hurt after you make one of these awesome pieces? I use about half a dozen hand tools. Wire cutters, flat nose pliers, round nose pliers, a file, a couple round tools to make loops, and a dentist’s pick. I try to use just my fingers in shaping them as often as possible. Occasionally my hands are sore, but not very often. (Yoga please and thank you!) You’re clearly VERY skilled in this, how long have you been making this kind of jewelry? Thank you so much Kristy! I have been doing this probably about a year and a half but I would like to emphasize how much studying fellow artists’ work helps inspire me and develops my technique . Where do you get your materials? Do you get the stones locally? I have gotten most of mine

on the Internet, which has not at all been a bad experience for me, but I am going to try to buy more from stores visited or gem and mineral shows. Seeing them in person is important. How long does it take to make an average sized pendant? I would say 6-20 hours. You post your finished pieces to Facebook. Is Facebook the main way people can see what you’re making/contact you about buying a piece? Do you make custom pieces? I would say so, though if I didn’t have a Facebook I would be much more productive! I do make custom pieces, which have actually been my main outlet. Do you know how many you’ve made in total? 28 give or take. How much does one of your pieces of jewelry generally cost? It has varied greatly, but I’m going to start doing minimum one hundred dollars pendants. Trevor’s art of making fine, unique jewelry would surely be a fantastic gift for you or someone you love that appreciates a different type of jewelry. If you would like to contact Trevor with questions about his jewelry or inquiries about custom pieces you can e-mail him at [email protected] or call him at (716) 801-0857.

Starting today Thursday May 23, 2013 through Wednesday May 29, 2013 we will have nine Bands, Three DJ’s, one with a Karaoke Show attached, several Sound System Happenings plus all of the great food and beverage specials offered by the wonderful clubs and restaurants here in Ellicottville. All of these fun events or Happenings are available for us all to get out and enjoy. Like always this time of year, Madigans will have their Sound System playing Madigans Party Favorites till 10:00 PM when Club Madigans takes over till close. Also, weather permitting; Madigans Up-Stairs Patio & Party Bar will be open. We get the week started on THURSDAY with one band and a DJ including a Karaoke show. The FUN begins at 8:00 PM in The Gin Mill with Fred & Tuck doing their FUN and good time acoustic, folk rock to country music show. Neat cover tunes performed in Fred & Tuck’s unique style will, as always, have a FUN Music Night happenin in The Gin Mill. Then at 9:00 PM Thursday, The PUB in Great Valley will bring on DJ Felony, and his Karaoke Show. As always, this neat show gives The PUB

Patrons two options. Be part of the show or just kick back and enjoy The Local & FUN PUB Good Times. Moving to FRIDAY, a two band and a DJ evening, starts off at 7:00 PM in Balloons with The All Star Band in house. Kenny and Wade Hawkins, Rodney Appleby and Flute, The All Star Band, are world class, expert & soulful funk masters, playing a jazz to bluesy mix, along with a true R&B sound, all of which will be a fit for the jazz & blues music lovers who frequent Balloons. Following The All Star Band, The Balloons Party will keep rolling with Personable DJ John Barry doing his LIVE Personality Show-Off Show from Balloons Sound & Light Booth. John’s show includes danceable tunes plus FUN conversation and chatter till close. You may wish to arrive in Balloons a bit early to enjoy one of Ellicottville’s best Friday Fish Fry’s. Returning to 9:00 PM Friday, The Gin Mill will have Two Guys Drinking Beer on stage. Ron and Terry, the two very talented guys from West, will create a very FUN acoustic music & party night with their good tunes and general silliness that always accompanies The Two Guys when they do this Gin Mill Gig. As always, remember The Gin Mill serves their excellent and reasonably priced menu till midnight on weekends. Now we move to SATURDAY a DJ and three band night. The ROCKIN starts at 6:00 PM in Balloons with The Rhythm Rockers. Like we’ve said before, most of us Balloons Regular music lovers remember this very fine veteran band as Stevie B & The Rhythm Rockers. As we have said before, their roots are in the blues. However, they have moved on to a wider variety of Classic Rock including some Southern Rock. In their recent Balloons Gigs they have included the Blackfoot song, Train. Stevie B does this tune in true Blackfoot style. In our opinion this cover tune is done as good or better then Blackfoot does it. We have just been informed that DJ Flakey Frank has had his pass from The Disoriented DJ Home revoked. However, he has escaped. So following The Rhythm Rockers, He will be in Balloons Sound & Light Booth doing his interesting music show, that includes good danceable and FUN tunes plus nonsense chatter till close. Returning to 9:00 PM Saturday, The Gin Mill will have The Powerplay Band captivating The Gin Mill’s Music Loving Crowd. This four-piece high-energy Buffalo band plays

several versions of classic rock, blues to disco in an entertaining way. They always make a great and classy live music show by combining many popular styles that will have The Gin Mills Dance Floor very busy all night long. Also at 9:00 PM Saturday, The PUB in Great Valley will host another new band for our neighborhood, Synner. Here we have four-piece classic to modern rock band from Cattaraugus County. Synner is relatively new to the music scene and really enjoys playing local venues like The PUB. It will be a FUN Saturday night in The PUB. SUNDAY will again be music free. The summer weather should still be with us so the out-door FUN stuff will be happening. Moving to MONDAY, our Memorial Day Holiday, which is a one-band evening. However, The Meal Deals are still there. The Gin Mill will have their great menu including their wonderful spaghetti dinner available. With Crasher Conner on bar duty, The Gin Mill will be FUN this Monday. Balloons Monday Delights will also happen. Balloons great pizza & fifty cent wings plus their happy hour drink specials are available and hosted by Domino Derrick. Monday rounds out at 10:00 PM Sharp with Church on Monday happenin in Madigans. Reverend Jack, Deacon Dan for sure and maybe Bongos Freddie will be doing their original Honky Tonk to Rock-A-Billy tunes in their own entertaining way. Monday’s show will have Madigans upstairs Party Bar BOPPIN, WEAVIN & ROCKIN. TUESDAY at 7:00 PM The Touch of Grae returns to The Gin Mill with their acoustic southern rock to country music show. As we said last week, this is one of the best shows of its kind. It is really great having FUN music on Tuesday evening. We will enjoy Red Gray and company all summer long. WEDNESDAY at 8:00 PM our week’s final music gig will happen in The Gin Mill with Joe Wagner & John Winston in house doing their traditional acoustic folk to southern rock music show. Friends Bongos Freddie and Gary London may also join Joe and John. As always, Retro Little Joey is also a possible addition. The music & good times in The Gin Mill are further enhanced by their excellent chicken wings, which are among the Wednesday Gin Mill specials. C U Round The Music Scene. Good Stuff, No Worries.

When I was young I attended St. Patricks parochial school on River St. in Salamanca. The days seemed longer than they were, the lime-green uniforms looked ridiculous and itched like crazy and the Nuns scared the sin out of me faster then any fire and brimstone preacher ever could. When the afternoon bell finally rang, the freedom of childhood kicked in. There was one weekend every year where that freedom and excitement was magnified a hundred times. Turning the corner from River St. onto Main St. one only had to look across the bridge towards Sycamore Park to know what weekend it was. The rides were being assembled, the food vendors were setting up and the midway, as small as it was, seemed huge to my eyes. Reaching the end of Main and a quick glance towards Jefferson St. Park confirmed it. It was Falling Leaves Festival Weekend (or FLF as we would call it when we got older and “cooler) and it was going to be a blast. And it always was. So what happened? To put this into perspective imagine a Chamber of Commerce in

Ellicottville that takes a look around, makes decisions without consulting or informing the community and suddenly decides that it would be a good idea to move Fall Fest to Sculpture Park. Done deal. No input, petitioning or complaining will help. Your festival is gone. In a nutshell, that’s whats happening in Salamanca. Granted, the two festivals cant be compared but that’s the way we like it. Salamanca’s annual Falling Leaves Festival is ours. It’s a “walk-to” festival where members of the community can stroll to the park, socialize, shop, ride the rides and show some pride in a community that has suffered through and persevered so many disasters that they’ve become hard to count. Now? Nothing. Our festival is gone. Just another empty, lifeless weekend in Salamanca. I’m still, as you might have guessed, having trouble digesting this idea. A Chamber of Commerce in an American city taking a Festival that actually draws people to us and moving it to a place (The State Park) that has no trouble drawing visitors on it’s own. A Chamber of Commerce turning it’s back on a downtown that it’s supposed to support. The reasoning behind the move is that the Festival has supposedly outgrown it’s current site, the site it has occupied since 1976, and that the Main St. businesses it was designed to support simply aren’t there anymore. So who’s fault is that? Isn’t it the Chambers job to attract and draw businesses to downtown? Apparently the Chamber is admitting it’s own failure, taking it’s toys and leaving. Brilliant. As for the

good folks who walk to the festival? They promise to bus you to the park. Isn’t that nice of them? I’m more than a bit disgusted by this move. I have my own ideas about motive. The Festival I know and love would never have had a “wine and cheese tent”. We’re a beer tent and cheese fry community and thats the way we like it. Some folks might see us as and look down their noses. Some folks might see riff raff when they see working class people getting a little rowdy. Some folks might laugh us off as they drive through on the way to the Park. Keep laughing and enjoy your cheese. I always tell people that I may live in Ellicottville but Salamanca is home. Despite all our problems I still see a tight nit community that always manages to come together when things get tough. From the outpouring of emotion I’ve been seeing concerning the “imminent” move of the Falling Leaves Festival, I know that this is true. I’m guessing that the Chamber figured we wouldn’t notice or care that our longest running and most popular festival was being ripped away from a community that has always loved it. I wonder if they’ll notice the signatures on the petitions that have been popping up all over town when their presented with them at the next council meeting. Every one of those signatures represents an former attendee that isn’t going to be bussed anywhere. We’ll be in Jefferson St. park that day with Rossi.

Annual Ride Hosted By Retird GHD President - May 27th

New studies have found that nutrients like chromium and plant sources for fiber and extracts of certain plants can bring great benefits when it comes to sugar cravings and it is also an exciting breakthrough in natural weight-loss Garcinia Cambogia-an extract of the ring of a small, pumpkin-shaped fruit native of South Asia, Garcinia Cambogia has a long tradition of safe use. Increases 2 to 3 times the fat burning effect. It is great for emotional eating, because it reduces the production of the stress hormone cortisol and may help to sleep better. Chromium-a trace mineral found in small amounts in whole grains and brightly colored fruits and vegetables, chromium picolinate helps activate insulin, a hormone that helps the body burn blood sugar instead of storing it as fat. By supporting already-normal blood sugar balance, chromium may also help with food cravings that are triggered by low glucose levels. Studies show that consuming fiber may help with weight management partly by promoting feelings of fullness. A delicious, berry-flavored

drink features Garcinia Cambogia and chromium picolinate to help curb appetite between meals. It is formulated with a novel fiber blend that has 3 grams of soluble fiber from vegetables and short-chain fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), a naturally sweet, prebiotic fiber. This drink is called Stixated TM. Another nutrient that is well known and it is called green coffee been extract-chlorogenic acid (CGA), is thought to be the active ingredient in safe caffeine-free green coffee bean extract(Coffee acanephora), may help block sugar absorption, promoting satiety and healthy blood sugar levels already in the normal range. In initial studies, taking green coffee been extract has resulted in weight loss, much of it fat, in overweight individuals. Another excellent plat extract is the green tea leaf extract. Drinking polyphenol-rich green tea (camellia sinesis) has been linked to good health for centuries. Beyond already documented benefits for cardiovascular health, brain health and healthy aging, the extract’s active components-including polyphenols such as epigallocatechin gallte-now show promise for weight loss. Researchers believe green tea may have a thermogenic (calorie-and fat-burning) effect, and also may inhibit fat absorption. This ingredients found in Ultra ThermTM , help to boost the metabolism. It features a powerful combination of green coffee extract, green tea and a sustained energy blend, this thermogenic formula increases calorie burn while helping the body breakdown fat. Most of us are looking for support to reduce sugar cravings. There are key ingredients found naturally in some foods like L-arabinose-found - a unique

monosaccharide, or simple sugar, that helps block the complete absorption of sugar in the body. In studies, taking L-arabinose with a high-carbohydrate meal seems to both delay and reduce peaks in blood glucose and insulin levels. Blood sugar control can play an important role in reducing feelings of hunger, making it easier to stick to a healthy life style and eating. An amino acid called L-theanine is found in teas, specially green tea, increases the brain’s alpha wave activity, which seems to reduce anxiety and encourage feelings of relaxation and calm without drowsiness. In studies, the intake of L-theanine has been associated with improvements in both mental alertness and stress responses. Stress reduction can make it easier to avoid “emotional eating”. Cinnamon- a potent antioxidant, cinnamon (cassia cinnamon) bark extract has been shown to help maintain already-normal, healthy blood sugar and insulin levels in overweight individuals. These last three ingredients together help block the absorption of sugar, support healthy blood sugar levels already in the normal range and may reduce stress and help improve mood. This combination of innovative nutrients are found in the herbal combination “Sweet FXTM”.

big hearts and brave souls. This is an outdoor event that ends at midnight June 2nd and is held rain or shine, so be prepared. A Relay event has a lot fun things going on all day but the program is centered primarily on 3 powerful ceremonies. At the very beginning is the Survivor’s Lap where all cancer survivors take the first lap around the track. After dark is the Luminaria ceremony where lit candles are placed in personalized bags and set along the track as a moving tribute to those loved ones who have been affected by cancer. At the end is the emotionally charged Fight Back Ceremony where participants make an emotional agreement to connect with others who are battling cancer and strive to fight cancer year round. In addition to the traditional ceremonies – look for a chicken barbecue at 1pm and a live auction at 3pm. For motivation, DJ Excite Sound will be keeping everyone going throughout the day. Relay for Life was established in 1985 and has since become

a worldwide movement that works hard to raise money and awareness to fight cancer, having contributed over 4 billion dollars to the cause so far. Every year, dozens of volunteers donate their time, and many local businesses step up to the plate and offer their time and funding to sponsor the Ellicottville Relay. Crystal Page is the Olean based Director of Special Events for the American Cancer Society and is in charge of the Ellicottville, Olean and Springville Relay events. When it comes to sponsors and volunteers who have really shined through the years, Page says “There are a few area businesses who support Relay every year and one of our biggest supporters here in Ellicottville is Coffee Culture. They have been a Gold Level Sponsor for a few years and on top of the donation they make, they also provide coffee and cookies throughout the day for the participants. The Ellicottville Volunteer Fire Department and the Great Valley Volunteer Fire Company also have been long time supporters of the Relay as well”. When asked about a fundraising goal for this year, Page said, “Last year, the Ellicottville Relay For Life raised just over $48,000. This year’s Relay is

Goaled at $53,000 and so far, our amazing teams have raised over $11,000. There are still a couple team fundraisers to go before the Relay on June 1st. Three of our teams are working together and will be having a fundraiser this Sunday at the Little Valley Speedway during their season opener”. If you’ve never done a Relay For Life before, there has never been a better time to give it try than now. As with a real relay race – Relay For Life participants are essentially team mates working together to achieve a goal. Hundreds of happy steppers, related by a common desire to help others, gathering in a special place with an important job to do. The baton is passed, over and over again. Connections are made, but this time everyone wins. Yes, everyone knows the race goes on, but they also know that a cure for cancer could be only one more lap around the track and those connections are the heart strings that pull it in closer and closer. If you would like to join the fun and make a difference in someone’s life, and quite possibly your own, it’s a simple matter of going to the Relay For Life web page at www.relayforlife.org or call 716-341-4566 for more information.

approved a special use permit for Pat Burke for a 575 square-foot apartment to be built on his Witch Hollow Road garage as long as access easement and maintenance paperwork is filed and the house and apartment have the same owners.

Mrs. Horowitz also reported 17 new application forms including building permits, flood plain paperwork and more will be updated to the town’s website instead of just having paper versions available.

Along the outer wall of the auditorium are several vents that lead to the outside. They have no covering and in winter probably let in a lot of cold air. It seems something may need to be done about them. Last month the board approved the purchase of new energy efficient light fixtures for the building. They discussed how to convert the present fixtures in the auditorium to the new ones.

The new lights can go into the existing locations but will leave a gap between themselves and the ceiling. It was suggested that trim pieces be purchased to close the gap around the lights. The board discussed replacing all the ceiling tiles with a suspended tile ceiling. Board member Kenny Hinman said it would probably cost over $14,000 to replace the entire ceiling. Eventually the discussion came around to the disposition of the conference room. If the room is removed the area will need a new ceiling. Installing a new suspended ceiling in the back portion only would cost around $6,500. The

ceiling would be six inches lower than the ceiling in the rest of the room. If the rest of the ceiling is replaced at a later date, the two would match. A motion was made to have the men currently remodeling the courtroom remove the lunchroom and replace the ceiling along the back portion of the auditorium. The feeling of the board was that the six-inch difference would not be a problem. The motion included leaving the counter and sink intact. The motion passed. It was mentioned informally after the meeting that a master plan is needed to help decide the best way to refurbish the room.

lets him put “a name to the face.” He also outlined several improvements he plans to make in the 2013-2014 school year.

SuPerviSor’S rePort: caPitol ProJect

In the Superintendent’s Report, Mark Ward presented more preliminary plans for the capital project. He said the plans are still evolving, but showed several areas that have been finalized. The two music rooms will be expanded. The band room will be about 450 square feet and the choir room will expand to 350 square feet than the present facilities. The gym will also be enlarged from 7,200 sq. feet to 10,000 square feet. We are planning to provide space for a food concession to allow a greater variety of snacks to be sold at games. The new gym roof will be about four feet higher than the present gym. We plan to create a space above the locker rooms and above the bleachers that will serve as a

control room for media, lights, sound and technology. This will allows the school to enhance productions and events held in the multi-purpose gym. He mentioned the senior class trip to New York City was considered a success; the only bad moment was that the Yankees game the group was scheduled to attend was rained out.

School Budget PaSSed The results of the school bond voting were announced. Proposition 1: authorizing the school budget of $10,891,507, for the 2013/2014 school year passed with 186 votes for and 50 against. Prop 2: to lease two school busses for the next five years, at a cost of $31,000 passed 186 for and 51 against. Finally, Prop 3: received 157 votes for and 80 against. It allows the school district to expend the sum of $28,500 to support the Ellicottville Memorial Library. elemeNtary PriNciPal rePort Connie Poulin the Elementary School principal gave a report on her activities. She is spending more time in the classrooms. She said they are right in the middle of “field trip season,” and told how students have had

field trips to the aquarium in Buffalo, state parks, a science museum, and the Buffalo Botanical Gardens. Mr. Ward pointed out that the cost of field trips compared to a $10 million budget is “nothing.” He credited the board with not cutting field trips, adding that the costs (for field trips) are minimal but said the experience is “at the heart of education.” These trips give our children a variety of learning opportunities that take our students outside the school walls to see and experience things that compliment classroom learning.

high School PriNciPal rePort

High School Principal Robert Miller reported that high school students have won more Cattaraugus County National Honor Scholarships (16) than any other school in the area. He said the State Science Performance testing is coming up in a week or two. He referred to several stories that have run on Channel 4 News describing the push back by parents about all the state required tests. He said the schedule for final exams would be announced Wednesday or Thursday.

A great way to honor the meaning behind Memorial Day is participating in the annual Ride to Remember, hosted by retired GHD president and Vietnam Veteran John M.

Story aNd PhotoSBy JohN thomaS

StaFF Writer

Up a gravel road and around the corner in a secret location is a lovely three-story duet between nature and humans. Scant seconds away from the center of Ellicottville the forest setting for this home feels a world away from downtown. Except for the house and the parking pad, the one-acre lot is all forest. A year round stream trickles just steps from the house. The house is surrounded by state forest so the pristine setting will remain that way. A deck circles the main level of the house, and the forest provides cool shade. The trees are almost close enough to touch. In winter the view to the mountains will open up. Inside in the great room is large bank of windows that brings the forest

inside. The windows rise up to meet the cathedral ceiling. A stone fireplace is in the center, and provides warmth and atmosphere. Beautiful woodwork runs throughout the home, the cherry and cedar tones, bringing a warm glow to the interior. In the kitchen the oak cabinets and counters create a light and warm working space. The large breakfast bar makes for easy early morning get-a-ways. There is a bedroom and a full bath on this level. The entire third floor is the master suite, a spacious room with an alcove for the master bed, and beautiful blonde floors. The master bath has a whirlpool tub, and the suite has its own private balcony. The bottom floor is a large family room. There is plenty of space for some game tables and an entertainment center. A wood stove had been inserted into the large stone fireplace.

This level has a walkout door to the ground level. As on the main level there is a bedroom and a full bath here as well. What kid when growing up didn’t imagine living in a tree house? This home is such an intimate part of the forest that if feels more like it took root here instead of having been built. While it may not have been built in a tree, it’s the next best thing. For more information on this home, contact Dave Blanchard, Licensed Associate Broker with Holiday Valley Realty Co. 716-699-2000.
