ELLICOTTVILLE’S INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER

This Sunday, May 1, 2011 marks the ninth annual Taste of the Southtowns. Bring an appetite and stop by the Springville Fire Hall, Main Street, Springville, between 11 a.m.-5 p.m. for delicious food and great music and raffl es. All proceeds from the event will go to Gooseneck Hill Waterfowl Sanctuary. Rosemary Miner and her husband established the waterfowl sanctuary in 1983 when two ducks wandered onto their property. The privately funded sanctuary currently houses 500 endangered and protected birds. Six local establishments prepared their best dishes to serve to attendees and impress four judges at the event. “Professional judges choose dishes like the best meat, best seafood, best dessert, best overall, and judges choice,” said Miner. “We give the winners a big plaque. There are six restaurants this year and eight categories so some restaurants will go home with more

All of the items are less than fi ve dollars. Some of the dishes includesausage potato soup, mini Reuben sandwiches, Asian chicken lettucewraps, turtle cheesecake, Maine lobster cakes, ribs, Baklava and pulledpork sandwiches.

The fi rst weekend in May/last weekend in April is set aside each year for the annual Great Valley Firemen’s Regatta, when the river levels are up to their ideal sailing levels and boaters have a fair shot at good weather. “Ya Gotta Regatta” is celebrating its 36th year and is set to take place this Saturday,April 30. Although only one day is dedicated to the event, it has become tradition for participants to make a weekend-long celebration of it, setting upcamp and preparing for a good time. While the Regatta is also known as a canoe race, the participants like to take creative liberty with that notion byracing anything that fl oats, bringing an enjoyable approach to the event as participants try to outdo each other every year. The Regatta is 14 mileslong and boasts enough fun for spectators as well as participants. With fi ve beer stops, food, music and refreshments, you know you’re in for a party.For more information and registration info, visit www.yagottaregatta.com

We have a confl ict of fun this weekend, folks! The only question is “which one do I do”? Well, it depends… The 36th annual Great Valley Firemen’s Regatta is ready to rock this weekend, with over 3,300 participants looking forward to this annual rite of spring. More than 1,500 boats, rafts, and (basically) anything that fl oats will be plying the waters of

Great Valley Creek on Saturday at 9 am. Thankfully for the “boaters” there will be pit stops along the way to make sure these dedicated paddlers won’t die of thirst. You don’t have to drink beer, but I understand it aids in your paddling technique. I’ll let you know – this year I’m going to be one of the participants and will be enjoying the camaraderie of some of my more intellectual friends. Looking forward to this introspective experience and stimulating conversations. Yup… Even though Great Valley’s annual soiree has been around for 36 years, it’s a youngster when compared to our other, perhaps more family-oriented, event. It’s the weekend for neighboring Franklinville to host their 49th Annual WNY Maple Festival, a weekend fi lled with entertainment and incredible food. I’ve been to past Maple Fest “All U Can Eat” breakfasts, (they serve pancakes – huh go

fi gure), and I can guarantee you’ll need a nice nap when you get home! I would recommend for anyone who’s participating in the road races set up for 9 am to eat AFTER the race. And don’t forget to check out the sugaring demonstrations in front of the school – it’s amazing how much work goes into a quart of nummy maple syrup. A quick ‘welcome’ to our newest member of the Villager team – outside sales expert Jennie Acklin. Jenny’s going to fi t in very nicely with our gang – she’s a graphic designer who owns her own business and she has a terrifi c personality! We’re lucky to have her… So, dear readers, whether you “Gotta Regatta” or “Gotta Maple Fest” just make sure you and your family aren’t sitting around the hacienda this weekend. All work and no play make for a really long work week to follow. You wouldn’t want that now, would you? Until next week! JZ

“Routes to Art” is Cattaraugus County’s open studio tour, in which many local artists will have their studios open to the public .This year, 43 artists will open their doors across Cattaraugus County and Seneca Nation of Indians. The Ellicottville Memorial Library is hosting 3 artists for this years tour: Keith McKale, Jil St. Ledger-Roty, and Dee Smith. They are currently exhibiting a few pieces of their artwork in the library’s gallery space through May, and will be in attendance in the Library’s Community Room with a larger selection of their work on May 21, 22, and 23.Keith McKale is self-taught; he has been carving all his life and using a scroll saw for about 20 years. This is his fi rst year exhibiting in Routes to Art, and in fact, this is the fi rst time he has publicly exhibited his artwork. Keith’s artwork focuses on nature, specifi cally wildlife, and he uses a variety of wood from his property near Ellicottville.Jil St Ledger-Roty is an award

Jil’s evocative images are often photographed while she is hiking with her Australian Shepherd, Selkie near her home in Franklinville.Dee Smith, of Bradford PA, is a watercolor painter of considerable accomplishment, but she continues to push the boundaries of her art, working in a variety of media, and painting a variety of subjects.

Freshman architecture students from the University at Buffalo have designed and are building a 96-foot-long string of wooden micro-dwellings that will open to the public later this month at Griffi s Sculpture Park. Assembly of “The Living Wall” will conclude this week. The UB School of Architecture and Planning is inviting the public as well as students, professors and critics to attend an opening reception and dedication ceremony for “The Living Wall” at 1 p.m. on April 29 at the main entrance of the Griffi s Sculpture Park, 6902 Mill Valley Road, East Otto in Cattaraugus County.

The installation will stay up for at least 18 months at Griffi s, where visitors will be able to climb on, over and through the interconnected micro-dwellings. Information on Griffi s is available online at http://www.griffi spark.org.

“Creating a full-scale structure gives fi rst-year students an opportunity to see, fi rsthand, what the design and construction process is like from start to fi nish. They’ve gone from drawings and models to building a full-scale project,” said Christopher Romano, UB clinical assistant professor and one of four coordinating faculty members overseeing the students’ work. The other faculty members

Griffi s’ “Living Wall”University at Buffalo Architect Students Opening Reception April 29

are Clinical Associate Professor Shadi Nazarian and Adjunct Assistant Professors Nicholas Bruscia and Matthew Hume. This year’s Living Wall, which consists of 12 micro-dwellings, is the second of its kind. Last year’s freshman class erected a similar community of tiny buildings, but the faculty members say that this year’s project will be distinct in the following ways: Last year’s Living Wall was straight. The formation of this year’s wall is closer to that of a boomerang, with a bend in the center. Some of the pods that form this year’s wall are about 12 feet high -- signifi cantly higher than any part of last year’s wall. This year’s wall contains a wider variety of geometries, with some individual units incorporating curved or pyramidal forms. Working in groups of six to seven, about 80 students were tasked with creatively transforming uniform, wooden volumes measuring 6 by 6 by 8 feet to incorporate an entrance, day lighting, natural ventilation, and a minimum of fi ve sleeping spaces. The collaboration required at every phase, from design through construction, is giving students a taste of what the profession of architecture is like in the real world. Teamwork is a critical skill for architects, who must work not only with

each other, but with clients, engineers and contractors as well. Currently, the students are fabricating their projects in the architecture department’s Materials and Methods Workshop on UB’s South Campus. After assembling the structures at Griffi s, members of each group will spend 24 hours living inside the creations. Occupying the spaces will give students a better understanding of the successes and shortcomings of their designs. Building and inhabiting a common structure also helps to instill a sense of community among freshmen who will be learning and studying together for three more years. Ultimately, The Living Wall challenges us all to think about our notions of privacy and how much space we need to live comfortably. The University at Buffalo is a premier research-intensive public university, a fl agship institution in the State University of New York system and its largest and most comprehensive campus. UB’s more than 28,000 students pursue their academic interests through more than 300 undergraduate, graduate and professional degree programs. Founded in 1846, UB is a member of the Association of American Universities.

The UB School of Architecture and Planning is inviting the public as well as students, professors and critics to attend an opening reception and dedication ceremony for “The Living Wall” at 1 p.m. on April 29 at the main entrance of the Griffi s Sculpture Park, 6902 Mill Valley Road, East Otto in Cattaraugus County.

Dan connects with any audience, especially those willing to think “outside of the gutter.” Drawing on his background as a game show host, father, teacher, coach, and salesman, he will entertain without insulting. Joe Fico has preformed across the United States and Canada. He has a quick wit, not to mention likeability, on stage that shows through from the beginning of his set to the time

he says “good bye”. He has won numerous awards including the 2003 Kings and Queens comedy search held at the Comix Café in Rochester, NY. Dave Schmidt, who will serve as the Master of Ceremonies for the event, has worked with Nuts and Bolts Comedy Improv troupe in Rochester. He then started a monthly standup comedy night at a local club, where he worked for several years as host and producer.

OGH Joins Consortium Alliance with Community Hospitals Strengthens Capabilities

Upper Allegheny Health System (UAHS) today announced that Olean General Hospital (OGH) has become a new member of the Pennsylvania Mountains Healthcare Alliance (PMHA), a consortium of 20 community hospitals dedicated to enhancing the ability of member hospitals to provide patient centered community-based care. UAHS member hospital Bradford Regional Medical Center (BRMC) has been a member of PMHA since 2005. “Our membership with PMHA allows Olean General Hospital to collaborate with premier community hospitals in the region to better adapt to changes in the healthcare fi eld,” said Timothy J. Finan, president and CEO of Upper Allegheny Health System and member hospitals Bradford Regional Medical Center and Olean General Hospital. “Our affi liation with PMHA allows

Olean General to gain access to multiple programs and services that will help ensure enhanced effi ciency and effectiveness for many hospital departments.” Since 1998, PMHA initiatives have delivered millions of dollars in value to its member hospitals. PMHA has been involved in the creation of self-insured risk pools in the areas of medical malpractice, health and dental insurances, which have helped to insulate member hospitals against the rising cost of insurance premiums. Recently, PMHA has worked diligently in strategic areas such as supply chain, revenue cycle and technology. Other members of the PMHA include ACMH Hospital (Kittanning, PA), Bradford Regional Medical Center, Brookville Hospital, Charles Cole Memorial Hospital (Coudersport, PA), Clarion Hospital, Clearfi eld

Hospital, Elk Regional Health System (St. Mary’s, PA), Fulton County Medical Center (McConnellsburg, PA), Indiana Regional Medical Center, JC Blair Memorial Hospital (Huntingdon, PA), Jersey Shore Hospital, Laurel Health System (Wellsboro, PA), Memorial Hospital (Towanda, PA), Mount Nittany Medical Center (State College, PA), Nason Hospital (Roaring Spring, PA), Punxsutawney Area Hospital, Titusville Area Hospital, Tyrone Hospital and Windber Medical Center. Olean General Hospital is the fi rst hospital in New York State to join the alliance, and earned membership through its affi liation with Upper Allegheny Health System. Bradford Regional Medical Center and Olean General Hospital are members of Upper Allegheny Health System. For info, visit www.uahs.org.

The Board of Trustees of Southern Tier Catholic School and Archbishop Walsh Academy is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Adam Holden to the position of Adjunct President. This is a new position, with roles and responsibilities that previously have been shared and performed by both the retiring principal, Donna Sweet, and members of the board. In addition to the newly created position of Adjunct President, the schools will continue to have a full-time principal who will be named later. Dr. Adam Holden is an administrator, professor and educational leader with twenty-four years in education as a teacher, school administrator, and adjunct professor in the public and private sectors of both Europe and the United States.

For the past fi ve years, he was the Head of School at Hillel Community Day School (K-12th grade and an IB World school), located in North Miami Beach, Florida. In that position, he focused on academic achievement, fi nancial management, capital improvements, and curriculum development and public relations/marketing to overcome multiple years of operational budget defi cits and successfully Dr. Holden will arrive on campus May 2, 2011 and will immediately begin to explore the processes and systems as well as challenges and assets of the school.

SBU Prof. Authors ArticleChris Mackowski’s Article Featured in Civil War Magazine

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y., April 19, 2011 — Chris Mackowski, an associate professor of journalism and mass communication at St. Bonaventure University, has had an article accepted for the upcoming issue of Blue & Gray magazine. “The 1st Maine Heavy Artillery at Harris Farm: The Hometown Press Reports Their Baptism of Fire” tells the account of a Maine regiment that saw its fi rst action during the Civil War at the Battle of Spotsylvania Courthouse in May of 1864. The First Maine Heavy Artillery earned a place of infamy in Civil War history during the early days of the siege of Petersburg, Va. On June 18, 1864, the 900-man regiment charged across an open fi eld of fi re and sustained 67 percent casualties: 115 men killed, 489 wounded, and 28 missing — the highest casualty rate sustained by any unit in the army during the entire war, Mackowski’s article points out. But it was just outside Spotsylvania Courthouse that the unit fi rst saw combat, just one month before the men made their ill-fated charge outside Petersburg. According to Mackowski’s article, one member of the regiment said May 19 was “a day long to be remembered by the 1st Maine

Heavy, as it was on this day that we received our baptism of fi re and learned the stern duties of a soldier.” Mackowski searched through old issues of two Maine newspapers — the Bangor Daily Whig & Courier and Ellsworth American — to piece together the account. “Soldiers wrote home, and their families often shared those letters with the local newspapers so that townspeople could get the latest news from the front,” Mackowski explains. “So these newspapers have these fantastic, and sometimes terrible, fi rsthand accounts from these soldiers. It’s a unique way for us to see the Civil War today.” Mackowski says that the accounts he used in the article have not been published since they fi rst appeared in print nearly 150 years ago. “These days, with 24-hour news, it’s heart-rending to imagine the folks at home waiting weeks or months to fi nd out about their loved ones,” said Blue & Gray editor David Roth. “The periodic updates of deaths and tidbits on the fi ghting were interesting to follow in the various accounts. This is a nice piece ... a journalistic slant from a journalism professor.” The article will appear in the summer issue of Blue &

Gray, available this May. In the summer of 2009, Mackowski and historian Kris White co-authored the cover story for Blue & Gray. That story, also related to the Battle of Spotsylvania Courthouse, focused on the May 12 fi ght at “The Bloody Angle.” Mackowski has also written and co-written several books on the Civil War, and he regularly gives battlefi eld tours for the National Park Service in central Virginia. He has taught at St. Bonaventure since the fall of 2000.

14 schools in New York and Pennsylvania, will be present to answer questions about their work. A reception will follow. “The level of excellence was so high that it made our jobs very diffi cult,” said Karen Vester, a St. Bonaventure art major and one of four jurors for the exhibition.

Students from the following schools have works in the exhibition: Allegany-Limestone, Olean Middle School, Portville, Wellsville, Randolph, Oswayo Valley, Port Allegany, Ellicottville, West Valley, Cassadega Valley, Otto-Eldred, Bolivar-Richburg, Salamanca and Fillmore.

Up Close & PersonalTony Cassetta Endowment for the Arts

Inside Business TrackKless Boys Auto Success on Wheels

BY BRITTANY WHITE

The education of our children is of utmost importance. No, math, science, and literature are not the only important subjects in school; art and music have their own signifi cance too. However art and music programs are quickly disappearing from schools as many do not see them as “important” to a child’s education. What would life be without melodies and rhythms as well as watercolors and brush strokes? In 1995, a man decided he was going to keep arts and music alive at the Ellicottville Central School by challenging the community to raise funds that would provide opportunities for the students. Tony Cassetta wanted to give something back to a community that had given him so much, and thus created the Cassetta Endowment Fund. Tony had built friendships and a wonderful life in Ellicottville since 1960, and enjoyed many seasons of skiing and community activities. So he set up this fund originally by donating $10,000 to the Ellicottville Central School. Mr. Cassetta asked members of the community to match his donation and he would add another $10,000 on to the grand total. The community met and surpassed their goal and ended up with a grand total of $32,000 to fund programs dedicated to art and music activities. Tony, who had become the “trustee” of this fund, deposited the money with the school into three different bond, stock, and CD accounts. This way, the interest and gains on the three accounts could then be used to put on programs for the

students at the school. It was a much better idea to invest the money and gain from the initial $32,000 instead of spending it. This way there will always be money coming from that fi rst lump sum that the community raised so many years ago. The Ellicottville Central School has held numerous programs for all ages of students over the years. Fifteen to be exact, and over those years the fund has “earned” about $80,000 from interest income and capital gains. Students have visited Toronto, Sheas Performing Arts Center, and the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in the past, and this past Wednesday April 27th students traveled to Kleinhans Music Hall to see the Philharmonic Orchestra perform. The theme of the program was Science and Music, and the school is excited for students to experience such great musicians in a world-class music hall. The fund however is not only used for trips, numerous artists and musicians have visited the school to instruct students and give techniques on many art and musical subjects. These programs are also not decided on completely by one person. Tony teams up with staff from the school to plan the events at an annual meeting. This is where all the magic happens to provide the students with such enriching opportunities. The school is already planning their

next adventure to attend the renovated Burchfi eld Penney Art Center near Buffalo State College. Mr. Cassetta believes that many students in the school need to experience these programs and trips rather than favoring a few students; approximately 275 kids attended the event at Kleinhans Music Hall. Many people asking for sponsorships to go places and attend programs have approached Tony, but he has turned them all down. His vision is to expose as many students as possible to these great opportunities and he states, “I believe it is important that rural children gain urban experiences that city children have on a daily basis.” The Cassetta Endowment Fund was designed to reach out to bigger populations with enriching programs from which they can learn. Without the assistance from Mr. Cassetta and the Ellicottville community, these opportunities would not have been possible. Even after all these events students and staff have attended, plus the visitors to the school who have been brought in to teach the children though this fund, it is still brimming at $35,000 for future programs and will continue to gain funds. Any questions can be directed to the Ellicottville Central School Principal, Mr. Robert Miller.

There aren’t many businesses in the Southern Tier like Kless Boys in Delevan, NY. The full-service auto repair, body shop and used car lot is quite impressive even just by appearance. If you’ve ever driven by it you can’t miss it, especially in Delevan. It stands out like a shining star, but its inner clockworks aren’t something to miss either. Kless Boys originally started in a small shop of about 1500 square feet. Now, they operate with a workspace of about 17,000 square feet. The business, owned by three brothers, Mark, Mat and Andy Kless, has grown by leaps and bounds since its inception in 1995. The three boys opened the shop shortly after graduating from Alfred State University (yes...all three of them!), but they had always been into cars together. “We’re just the three kids who were always playing with cars and never grew out of it,” states Mark Kless, “Dad had a body shop in high school and after that we got a dealer’s license in college to pay our way through school. We just love automobiles.” Kless Boys now offers it all. The auto repair portion of the business offers anything from “A to Z” from parts, to fl uids to anything a car could need. The body shop portion of the business mainly performs collision and insurance work. However, Kless Boys is an Independent collision shop, which means that they aren’t restricted to a certain price range, brand name or level

of performance by insurance companies. Mark Kless attests to this fact being one of the many reasons the business offers “better work than other businesses like this. Our work is nearly all referral and reputation based. We’ve built a great reputation.” Kless stands by the belief that customer referrals are one of the most important part of any business with heavy feet. He believes that bringing people in from all over the area based on the reputation their services have given them has allowed them to taste the success they’ve seen. Kless Boys is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 until 5:00 and on Saturdays by appointment. Located at 10921 Route 16 in Delevan, the

business is truly a fi nely tuned machine, inside and out. They perform repair work and beyond for a broad market covering a large portion of Cattaraugus County and the Pioneer School District, which is where the three boys were raised. “We’re just a strange dynamic,” says Mark Kless, “ the 3 of us just thrive together. We eat lunch together daily and never fi ght. We wouldn’t have it any other way. We’re proud of what we do and to be a part of our home community,” Kless continued, “When you’re trying to provide a great business to an area like ours you have to ensure you’re always giving the community a reason to be proud of you. That’s what we try to do every day.”

Truth Or Consequences

BY DOUG ARROWSMITH

Not long ago, after the supposedly triumphant victory of the Republican/Tea Party coalition in the mid-term elections, I said that it was a blessing in disguise for the Democratic Party and, more specifi cally, for President Obama. My reasoning was that mainstream or more centrist members of the GOP were now beholden to the wacky ideas of the Tea Party. Well, here we are. Less than a year later, and The Donald is now considered to be the front-runner in next year’s Presidential election. Crazy? Sure. But take a look at the rest of the fi eld and “crazy” doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface. To get an idea of how far down the rabbit hole the GOP has allowed itself to be led one need look no further than Trumps main campaign point. There isn‘t one. That’s it. Trumps entire, perhaps imaginary, run for the White House seems to hinge on the idea that Barack Obama is not a natural born citizen of the United States of

America. He claims to have gone so far as to hire a team of private investigators to look into the Presidents birth. He hasn’t actually done that of course because he’s also a habitual liar but that’s beside the point. What amuses me though is the fact that this is playing out like a dream for the Democrats. Trump simply cannot be told to shut the hell up about this nonsense and every juicy tidbit that comes out of his mouth is like manna from heaven to those of us on the left. Some folks question why the media even bothers paying attention to this crazy, marshmallow head. I say bring it on. Give us more. If this is what next year’s election is going to look like this should be a cakewalk. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised to fi nd out that Trump was a plant sent in to make the GOP look like fools. Now there’s a conspiracy for ya’ll. Now, lets be perfectly clear on one thing. Barack Obama was born in 1961 in the state of Hawaii. Every rational human knows this. The topic isn’t even up for debate. All the evidence is clear. All the records are available. The Birthers, however, aren’t having it. You could build a time machine and take a birther back to 1961 and put them in the actual hospital room where Obama was being born and they’d still tell you to your face that it was a lie. Which brings me to the Naturalization Act of 1790. Written just three years after the adoption of the Constitution, the Naturalization Act was designed to clear up any

confusion as to what constitutes a “natural born citizen.” It states “the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond the sea, or out of the limits of the United States shall be considered natural born citizens.” There ya have it. Even if the birther fantasy of a Kenyon born Barack Obama had any basis in fact he’d still be a natural born citizen because his mother was. End of story, right? Wrong. The Birthers have declared the 1790 act to be unconstitutional. Which, of course, means that the millions of children born while they’re parents were traveling, studying, living, serving or even trapped abroad aren’t citizens in the eyes of the Birthers. Sorry John McCain. That means you to. That’s right, John McCain couldn’t have been President because he was born in Panama on an American Military base and the constitution never mentions military bases. I guess, for the Birthers at least, the last presidential election was a contest between two foreigners. Weird. Just like Trump’s hair. Anyway. As I mentioned earlier, the Republican victory in last year’s midterm elections was clearly a victory in disguise for the Democrats. As long as candidates like Trump are out there and considered to be legitimate front-runners the Democrats should be fi ne. All they have to do is stick to the actual issues and people like Trump, the man who would sell the world, will continue to blather on in deference to his Tea Party overlords. Hilarious.

So, some riders headed south to set their wheels spinning, but they shouldn’t have to wait much longer. The calendar says May is almost here, and with any luck, the mountain bikers will soon be taking to the hills around Ellicottville for yet another good riding season. Jon Sundquist heads up the Western New York Mountain Bicycling Association (WNYMBA). He’s been part of the bicycling scene for a good many years, and is anxious to once again ride the local trails. This year, he’s promoting a visit by the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA) trail crew from May 6-8. Sundquist provides some background. “Our club has been a member (of the international group) since we founded ourselves in 1992. The trail crew started up in 1997. They teach people how to build trails correctly.” Sundquist notes that the reason they now have so many nice trails dates back to that time, after convincing the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) of their intention of “being serious to do things right.” Fifteen years ago, “There were no trails there

(the McCarty Hill/Rock City State Forest near Route 219). In the past fi fteen years, we’ve put those (trails) together and we’ve been real successful.” Since the late 1990’s, the trail crew has paid several visits to Ellicottville. This year, they’ll be working on the new Mesa Trail. The Mesa Trail is actually a loop that comes off the Eagle Trail, which was built a few years ago. First, there will be a classroom presentation to go over the principles behind lying out, designing, and building trails. “Then we’ll go out (and get busy) after lunch.” That’s on Saturday, May 7th. You should mark that date down, because all are welcome to come out and lend a hand. Sundquist says, “They can be cyclists, they can be hikers. Last time we had them (trail crew) here in 2004 we had a lot of equestrians. Anybody is welcome to attend the event, and it’s free.” The classroom session will be held at the Holiday Valley Training Center. Times will be posted on the WNYMBA web site, www.wnymba.org. So what’s the correct way to build a trail? It’s neither quick nor simple. Sundquist explains, “Anybody can go out and rake away leaves and cut some branches. If you build trails right, they’ll last indefi nitely. You want to build them on the

side of a hill if at all possible and have water fl ow over the trail, rather than fl ow down on the trail or accumulate on the trail. What you want to do is cut the trail into the side of the hill, what they call a bench cut. So you’re almost cutting a fl at surface into the side of a hill.” He cited a trail in Georgia where pouring rain hit one day, but by that afternoon it was fi ne, because it was built correctly. “A lot of our trails are built that way, which is why (the local system) is a success.” To make a good trail, Sundquist says you must have a good combination of engineering and art, where scenic vistas are incorporated into the design.

My name is Denise Kropp. I am 40 years old.

To the world you may be just one person, but to one person, you just may be the world. Thank you from the Western New York Kidney Connection.

Hi! My name is Denise, I am 40 years old. Most of my family is in the area. I have 4 neph-ews and a neice here that I like to do things with. I have a dog, Cassie, who is my best friend. I miss being able to take her for walks. I am not able to walk her after dialysis, I am just to tired. I was a member of the ladies auxiliary at the volunteer fi re company for over 10 years but had to give it up because of dialysis and my illness. I have been sick most of my life and would love to just have a more normal life. I have a job at Target but can only work 1 day a week because I have to go to dialysis 3 days a week. I can’t work more at this time because I am usually very tired after dialysis and I have a lot of pain in my legs from the accesses in my legs and can’t stand for long periods of time. If anyone is willing/able to help me out, it would mean the world to me. I just want to be able to work, do things with my family, go on vacations, and just not be in so much pain! Please help if you can. It would change my life for the better. You would be giving me the best gift ever.

nor disapproves the wind farm project, according to Allegany Town Planning Board Chairman Bob Philips. The next step is a joint public hearing before the Town Planning Board and the Allegany Town Board. It will be held May 16th, at 7:30pm at the Allegany Senior Center on Birch Run Road.

Philips clarifi ed the action taken during the planning board’s April 27th meeting by stating, “ The issuance of the FEIS means that this board has adequate information to facilitate the weighing of social, economic, and environmental factors relevant to the Allegany Wind Project under SEQR. It does not imply approval or disapproval of the project. At the public hearing on May 16th, this board will deliver a detailed

statement of fi ndings, and a decision on the project (will be made) on or after June 13th.” Philips went on to explain that the statement of fi ndings and decision is probably going to be between forty and eighty pages long. “And because of that, it may not be ready by the 13th.” By issuing the FEIS, “We’ve gathered information we now can use to help us make a determination. We did not make a decision.” A link to see the FEIS will be posted on the Town of Allegany web site. During the joint public hearing on May 16th, the Allegany Town Planning Board will deal with a special use permit and a site plan for the Wind Farm Project being proposed by Everpower LLC. The Allegany Town Board will cover its portion of the project, which involves a wind overlay corridor. Philips says if the Town Planning Board denies the project, it does not go to the

Town Board. “If we approve it, Everpower LLC has to go to the Town Board, and they will have the fi nal say. We (the Town Planning Board) determine whether Everpower satisfi es our ordinance.” Allegany Town Supervisor Pat Eaton explained that the Planning board portion of the public hearing will be strictly objective, because they have to follow a set of rules. The public hearing for the Town Board portion will be more subjective, namely, “Is it going to be good for Allegany, or is it going to be bad for Allegany, and why? Who’s going to benefi t, and who’s not going to benefi t? Who’s going to have problems with it, in terms of quality of life issues? It’s a big picture type of scenario, and it’s controversial, just like any big project is. But it’s a change in our zoning ordinance, so by law we need this public hearing to get public input.”

STORY AND PHOTOSBY JOHN THOMAS

STAFF WRITER

There are ski condos and there are ski condos. But, what makes one unit stand out above the rest is often the matter of a few details. In the case of 7 Plum Ridge a lot of details add up to a pretty special unit. Start off with the fact that Plum Ridge is located practically inside the HoliMont ski area. Add to this, the condo is an end unit, meaning less noise from neighbors and you have the makings of a pretty special place. It’s on the inside where this condo really stands out. Coming through the front door, the custom interior jumps out at you from the start. Right at the front door is a handsome wood paneled entryway. The dark stain and the details on the wood work suggest an English country cottage. Hooks, cubbies and racks for holding skis and winter gear are right by the door, all sporting the same dark stain. This aristocratic touch extends into the rest of the condo. The dark stain is picked up by the hardwood fl oors that extend throughout the main level. Dominating the living room is a huge wood burning fi replace. Its stone facing and hearth create a rustic and traditional look. Cut into the stone facing above the fi rebox is an alcove for the wide screen TV. You can enjoy a roaring fi re and catch up on 30 Rock. Skylights cut into the cathedral ceiling let in the afternoon light and add to the spaciousness of the room. A glass door leads out to a deck nestled in the tree tops. The wood trim around the windows, the dark stained hardwood fl oors, and the leather sofas give the room a noble fl air you just don’t fi nd in the average ski condo. Radiant fl oor heating works with the fi replace to keep the place cozy in winter. Standing in the living room, I realize something: this highly successful remodel has

created an almost Tudor style, understated, rustic, elegance; a far cry from a crash pad for rowdy skiers. Over in the dining area, a crystal chandelier hangs over a beautiful wood dining table. Against the wall is a built in dry bar. Its granite counter top blends with the dark woods of the cabinets. Below the counter is a mirror lined wine rack. The mirrors create the illusion that the rack extends down into the fl oor below; very cool. Also in the bar is a built in wine chiller; very smart. The granite counters and dark cabinets are repeated in the stylish U-shaped kitchen. Some of the cabinets have a glass front, breaking up the facade and preventing the kitchen from looking like a dead end. A double window over the sink allows more light to fi lter in. The glass top range, chrome sink and appliances create a sophisticated counterpoint to the handsome cabinets. Just off the dining area is a modern surprise: a circular staircase. It leads up to the top fl oor sleeping loft. It houses a couple of twin beds, and a full bath. The pitch of the roof here makes it most desirable as a kid’s bedroom. A standard staircase leads from the main fl oor down to the bottom level. Here are

two bedrooms, as well as the mechanical room. The master suite is the larger of the two bedrooms, and has a large tiled bathroom with a shower stall. At the end of the hall is a third bathroom (also tiled) that serves the other bedroom on this fl oor. Examining all the ski trip mementos in the hallway and the ski themed furniture in the bedrooms tells me that this is very much a ski oriented home. A lot of condos boast “ski-in ski-out convenience,” and so as I left the unit I decided to test the claim. A twenty second walk across the parking lot took me to the edge of one of the runs at HoliMont. A short easy run -goes right down to one of the lifts. Looking up the hill I can see an easy run comes down to where I am standing: about as convenient as it gets. But the slopes aren’t the only thing the home is convenient too; it’s just a short drive to Ellicottville’s downtown restaurants and shops. Anywhere you fi nd ski areas, you’ll fi nd ski condos, but seldom will you fi nd a condo that can add so much quiet elegance and style to a ski get-away; special indeed.

All of the items are less than fi ve dollars.

The event, which is free with the purchase of meal or raffl e tickets, will feature performances by Joe Wagner and John Winston and The Rustic Ramblers. Wagner and Winston will perform from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. The Rustic Ramblers will perform 1-5 p.m. “We will have music playing constantly,” Miner said. Fifty raffl e and silent auction items have been prepared for the

The Gooseneck Hill Waterfowl Sanctuary is currently home to 500 birds including three endangered species from all over the world. The sanctuary is home to 11 of the world’s 600 NeNe Geese. The NeNe Goose is native to Hawaii. The sanctuary is also home to 100 Red breasted geese and 30 Lesser white-fronted geese. The 47 other bird species that live at the sanctuary are protected. “Very few bird sanctuaries remain open in the United States

we’re the only one in this part of the country,” Miner said. “We invite people to come for a guided tour. The birds will come right up to you and eat out of your hand. They’re very friendly.” The sanctuary is open 2-5 p.m. for guided tours each Sunday in July and August. Groups of 20 people or more are invited to make reservations to come for tours throughout the year. Since Gooseneck Hill Waterfowl Sanctuary is a 501c3 not-for-profi t organization, all donations to it are tax deductible. Donations may be sent to the sanctuary at 5067 Townline Road, Delevan, N.Y. 14042. All donations help the birds and are put toward their food and improvements to the sanctuary. For more information about the sanctuary and Taste of the Southtowns call (716) 942-6835 or email [email protected].

Hardwood to create a satellite offi ce on US Route 219 near Cotter Road. A salesperson working for M. P. Caroll Hardwood would work from the offi ce, which will be located within a currently existing barn, and use it to store fl ooring samples. The company would not conduct retail sales from the offi ce, and the salesperson would only use the space a few times a week. M. P. Caroll Hardwood is located in Cheektowaga and manufactures high quality hardwood fl ooring. According to a State Environmental Quality Review, no signifi cant effect would result from the construction of the offi ce or the installation of the sign. The board members noted the sign was within accepted town parameters, and approved the application on the conditions that the company would remove the sign if the offi ce ever closed, and that the company notifi es the board if they ever changed the offi ce’s functions. Dorothy and Ross Taylor of Horn Hill Road approached the board to voice their concern over potential oil well hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in the community. Dorothy Taylor said if fracking were to take place in Ellicottville the potential risks to drinking water, and the water used to make snow at Holiday Valley Resort and HoliMont Resort, could potential destroy the community. Ross Taylor said that any negative environmental effects would also cause property values to drop and prevent landowners from selling their property. He said he would like the board to ban the practice within the town. Board members said that there is some question as to whether or not it is legal for communities in New York to draft laws banning the use of hydraulic fracturing. They added that they could not control drilling through the

issuing of permits either. They added that placing a law on the books that was unenforceable would achieve nothing, and could potentially cost the town a large amount of money in legal fees. The board members noted that the water used in this process must pass through a water treatment facility after it has been used, and, since the water treatment facilities of the town and village would not be able to handle the materials, it could be possible to prevent the practice this way. The board members agreed that the practice is a concern, but they added that they needed to review legitimate scientifi c evidence from both sides before they could make any decision. Members noted that too much of the current debate is focused on hearsay and hysteria, and that many people seem to want to limit conventional drilling as well as fracking. The board members said the matter is not really within their power to control, and that the Town Board plans to discuss the issue at their next meeting. They said any real action in response to this practice would have to be enacted by the Town Board to have a real effect. The board briefl y discussed a proposed ATV park and camping ground on Horn Hill Road. The members noted that the Town of Ellicottville prohibits the creation of ATV parks within the township, but said a camping ground could be created with approval of a special use permit. The board members noted, however, that they have not received a formal proposal on the project, and that the individual interested in creating the project does not currently own the land. Dorothy Taylor also approached the board to voice concern over the proposal on behalf of her neighbors on Horn Hill Road. She said many of her neighbors were worried over how the campsite would obtain water, and how it would dispose of waste. She added that Horn Hill Road is not designed to handle large amounts of traffi c, and that children living along the road

may be at risk from the increasedtraffi c. The board membersacknowledged her concerns,though they said that the reviewprocess for environmentalimpact would also look intomany of these concerns. They added that part of theirduty is protecting individualproperty rights and encouragingproper development of the area,and that they would not preventa proposal that is in line withtown zoning codes and receivesSEQR approval. The board memberscontinued reviewing theirdraft of regulations concerningsubdivisions as part of a TownBoard request. The members reviewed theprocess for obtaining a fi nal platapproval during the meeting,focusing on creating a processthat allows projects to movefrom preliminary, middle andfi nal plat approval quickly,without making it diffi cult forthe applicant to achieve the goalsof each step. The members noted that thegoal is not to prevent expansionand growth within the town, butonly to regulate the process andto prevent potential liabilities thetown may face from unfi nishedprojects. The members suggested variousimprovements to the wording ofthe documents, which includedrequiring plans for drainage totie into future projects, and amap detailing the location of theproject to be included with theirinitial application. The board members alsovoiced their concern over theprocess of getting non-municipalpublic utilities, such as gas andelectricity, connected to the sitesprior to fi nal plat approval. The members noted that mostutility companies would notconnect their services to a sightuntil fi nal plat has been approved,but this prevents the town fromregulating how the services canbe run within the subdivision. The board agreed to contactrepresentatives from some localutilities to get their input on theissue. The board tabled the reviewuntil their next meeting.

order and the minutes from the previous meeting were brought to the table, reviewed and accepted. The Project Review Report was brought to discussion. Board members and representatives alike reviewed the four projects at hand. One such project was A Rural Business Enterprise Grant for the Town of Ripley, which was to cover improvements in the Town of Ripley Route 5 West Water & Wastewater System. The renovation of a community facility at Chautauqua Resources, Inc. into the administration building for The Resource Center was discussed as well as The Great Lakes Restoration Program. This program was sponsored by the NYS DEC and aims at a Niagara River Area of Concern (AOC) Water Quality Assessment. Another project sponsored by the NYS DEC was also reviewed and is entitled Xenobiotics in Fish from NY’s Great Lakes

UpdateCONT. FROM COVER

Waters. The project is in “Fund Phase 2 to monitor concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls, organochlorine pesticides and mercury in edible fi sh from NY’s Great Lakes System.” The four projects were assessed by the board and accepted. The Executive Director’s report for the month was highlighted by the discussion of the regional broadband initiative being taken by the board. Southern Tier West has received confi rmation of resolutions being passed by three towns in Cattaraugus County agreeing to provide a $5,000 match toward the broadband project. The director is scheduled to meet with fi ve other towns in May in hopes of receiving confi rmation from each as well. In total, nine towns in Chautauqua County and fi ve towns and Cattaraugus Count would benefi t from this project. New items of business for the month began with a report on the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC). The discussion reviewed an initiative taken by the organization to offer Federal Technical Assistance

Workshops. The workshops offer education on the ARC itself and allow participants to hear from “at least 6 different Federal agencies about current grant programming available to local governments, economic development organization, community colleges, non-profi ts,” and several other areas as well. The nearest workshop will be held May 18th

at the Radisson Hotel in Corning, NY. Registration is held online at www.arc.gov/events and onsite at8:30 am the day of the workshop. The US Census Bureau released the 2010 Redistricting data on March 24th, 2011. The data“provides Total Population, Age (18+), Race, Ethnicity, Total Housing Units and Occupance vs. Vacancy for every geographic area within the state of New York.” The presentation of the data was concluded with a short graphic demonstration of how the harvested data can be utilized by a planning and development board. The meeting was called to adjournment after no public comments were raised for discussion. The next meeting is set for May 19th.


★ ★ Sudoku Challenge ★ ★To solve a Sudoku puzzle, place a number into each box so that each row across, each column down, and each small 9-box square within the larger diagram (there are 9 of these) will contain every number from 1 through 9. In other words, no number will appear more than once in any row, column, or smaller 9-box square. Working with the numbers already given as a guide, complete each diagram with the missing numbers that will lead to the correct solution.
