Welcome to Ellicottville and welcome to spring! As we get ready to say goodbye to winter, it’s the perfect time to head to EVL, kick back and let the fun begin! This weekend, of course, is Mardi Gras and Winter Carnival, where an action-packed weekend awaits at Holiday Valley and in the Village of Ellicottville. Friday night is the Mardi Gras kickoff with the Junior Bacchus Ball at the Ellicottville Brewing Company (EBC) from 7-9 p.m. While the dress code is ski casual (after all, this is Ellicottville), some folks will be vying for formal coronation as king and queen of Mardi Gras. With music, great food and a cash bar, you’ll love being a part of this rollicking event. Tickets available at ellicottvilleny.com or at the door. On Saturday, grab the kids and all your friends, don some masks or full-on costumes and find your place along the village streets for an old-school parade complete with classic floats, marching groups and talented musicians. The parade starts at 6:30. Ski patrollers will be passing out beads in return for donations to the Ellicottville Food Pantry, so be sure to bring along some non-perishables. Holiday Valley’s Winter Carnival is a guaranteed great time all weekend long. The resort offers its very own wacky parade on Sunday at noon, as well as some pretty impressive snow sculptures created by the talented HV employees, cookouts, costume contests and lots more. See the full schedule of events on the next page.

Come on back to Holiday Valley March 19 for the annual Pond Skimming. Sign up to skim across an ice-water filled pond, or just watch and cheer on your favorite competitors. Registration will be outside Yodeler Lodge starting at 11 a.m. for $5. Kids under 18 must have a parent’s signature, minimum age is 8 years old. Pond Skimming starts about 1 p.m. and prizes are awarded for Best Skimmer, Best Costume, Best Kid and Best Splash. All participants get a one-day pool pass for the Holiday Valley pool complex for use this summer. Music, a mini-snowbar with margaritas and beer specials, barbeque and more add to the fun! On Sunday, March 20, celebrate the first day of spring by -- of course -- ski racing! Take part in Holiday Valley’s Northwind Super-G. Register at the Training Center for $5 per racer. Training runs from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Rangers race at 11 a.m., everyone else races at 12:30 p.m. Every spring, the members of the New York State Maple Producers Association invite families and friends into their “sugarhouses” on two different weekends (this year Maple Weekends March 19-20 and April 2-3) to experience the world of pure NY maple syrup. Located at approximately 160 farms and museums across the state, Maple Weekends offers a delicious, fun-filled outing that has a little something for all maple-lovers to taste and experience.

Pond Skimming, which began in the early 2000s as a way to get more spring skiers to the slopes, attracts competitors of all ages to the Yodeler slope. Those in the know wear awesome costumes, ski down the hill, and at the bottom, skim across an icy cold pond. If you’ve never noticed a pond at the bottom of Yodeler, that’s because it’s there for this event and this event only! The pond is created from the huge mound of snow used for the Winter Carnival Snobar. A Snowcat digs the hole, which is

Holiday Valley Ski Patrol Collects for Local Community
Well, it’s here! Winter Carinval and Mardi Gras weekend! What better way to kick it off than by giving to those less fortunate and in need? The Holiday Valley Ski Patrol is proud to sponsor the 20th annual food drive to beneďŹ t the Ellicottville Food Pantry during Mardi Gras weekend. Members of the Ski Patrol will be collecting non-perishable food items, paper products, toiletries, cleaning supplies, and cash donations at Tops Market on Friday, March 11 from 4:30 to 9 p.m. and Saturday, March 12 from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. You can also donate during the Mardi Gras parade on Saturday beginning at 6:30 p.m. Patrollers, wearing their red jackets with white crosses, will be pushing grocery carts on both sides of the street along the route, accepting your generous donations. What is that, you said? “I don’t have any beads!â€? We would never leave you out in the cold! In appreciation of your donation, the Ski Patrol is offering strands of Mardi Gras beads to help you enjoy this weekend’s festivities. A string of beads will be given out for each donation made both at Tops and during the parade. The Ellicottville Food Pantry assists many families who rely upon these donations for basic daily needs. With your support and generosity, we can provide assistance and services to many needy individuals and families in the community. If you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact me at danielpbuchanan@yahoo.com or 716-249-1169. I hope to see you all during another fun Mardi Gras weekend. The Holiday Valley Ski Patrol thanks you in advance for your support!

Planning Board OKs Hobby Car Shop Turned Business Public Hearing in May By Jann Wiswall
The Village of Ellicottville’s Planning Board had only one item on its agenda for its March 8 meeting – a special use permit for a home based business. The application was complete per planning board requirements so a public hearing was scheduled for the May 10 meeting. The owner of the business, Ed Imhoff, is using an existing free-standing garage on his Rockwell Dr. property to construct chassis for custom
Corvette drag racing cars. What started as a hobby is now becoming a more formal business for tax reasons. “A hobbyist can’t deduct expenses,â€? Imhoff explained. Getting a permit to operate a home based business is one step in a process that includes applying for a state tax ID and ďŹ ling other paperwork, he added. Imhoff, who is a groomer and mechanic at Holiday Valley during ski season, has been working on and building parts of cars for most of his life. He also raced enough to have been nationally ranked
for several years. His interest in building cars came out of that. In the fall, he sold a chassis with prefabricated body online to the producers of a Discovery Channel television series called Street Outlaws. He expects to be able to build an average of one chassis per year. The April meeting of the planning board has been cancelled. The next regular meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 10 at 5:30 p.m. in the village/town hall.

Unfortunately, over the past couple of weeks, rumors have been circulating around the Village about me. This seems to be par for the course during local elections. It’s very unfortunate. These types of rumor, untruths and innuendo were used against me this past November when I lost re-election for Town Supervisor by four votes. The same tactics were used against me eighteen years ago when I lost re-election for Mayor by two votes. The rumors that have come back to me so far are:
1. That I erased the hard drive on the Town computer before I left office. The truth is, I did the same thing my predecessor did. I had all my data removed, had the computer gone through and the password changed. This is common practice in today’s e-world. 2. That I left office removing ten boxes of Town files. The truth is, I left with at least ten boxes of things from my office. I believe everything I left with is mine and accumulated over eight years. I am however going through all of it to make sure I don’t have anything the Town should have. 3. That before I left office I tried to fire my Supervisor’s Clerk, Tracy Stokes. This is a bold face lie. 4. That if I am elected, I will fire Village Clerk Mary Klahn. This is another bold face lie
and I have told Mary that. (The Mayor does not have the power to do that, Mary has Civil Service protection). People that have come to me with these rumors have told me who they heard them from. None of those four people have asked me to verify these allegations. I am not going to disclose their names here. I will not stoop to the level that they have in their zeal to get my opponent reelected. THIS TYPE OF POLITICS SHOULD STOP! Paid for by John

Missing Paperwork Halts Vote By Colleen Mahoney
A missing document resulted in the Great Valley Planning Board tabling a March 9 vote on a proposed cell phone tower in the town. With a motion and second to approve the cell tower on the oor, the vote was postponed during review of the SEQR documents. A special meeting will be held on March 23 to complete the vote. The board was missing a letter from the New York State Parks Department of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation stating there would be no environmental impact. The attorney representing Horvath Communications, Jackie Murray, said they had the letter but she wasn’t able to show the board a copy. Despite a half-hour recess to allow Murray and her associate Steve Lingard to get a copy emailed, the duo was not able to produce the letter. Between now and the special meeting scheduled for the vote, Murray and Lingard will provide a visual rendering of the landscape “screenâ€? of plants at the base of the tower. Murray described it as a twofoot berm with conifers at a height requested by the town. Members of the board expressed concern over how the landscaping would look, and requested the rendering. She said both the rendering and the letter would be presented to the board by the next meeting. After a work session earlier in the week, the board again questioned the positioning of the tower and whether it was
in the best location. Murray said the process has been a “balancing actâ€? between telecommunications codes and residents who are opposed to the location of the tower. Rick Howard has opposed the location, which is close to his property with the tower being visible from his home. “We moved it ‌ 759 feet farther east. It’s balanced within the provisions,â€? Murray said. “It takes advantage of the vegetation screen, without having to clear too many trees. We believe this site does that.â€? Murray continued to say that the initial request for a tower was proposed on March 10, 2015, and since then they have followed the requests and suggestions presented to them by the planning board. A balloon test was completed on Feb. 22, which depicts the visual impact the tower would have. The site was shifted, as well, and they have agreed to what the board has asked. “If something happened in the past year, the tower would be up,â€? Murray said. “It’s time. Let’s do what we have to do to get something up.â€? Ryan McCann, the attorney who is representing Howard, reminded the board that his client was asking for the tower to be pushed back another 300 feet. He added that the proposed site is too close to a residential
area, and Howard is against the location, not the tower. By pushing the site back, McCann said there would be more cover provided for the tower. An attempt was made to open the dialogue about the access road to the site, which is jointly owned by Howard and proposed tower-site property owner Tim Halloran. “We identiďŹ ed four different sites ‌ stating that additional details would need to be settled,â€? McCann told the board. “Our proposal to use the access road was never responded to.â€? After closing the public hearing, the board continued discussions on the proposal. Town engineer Aaron Tiller and Mark Alianello, owner of MDA Engineering, asked about remaining issues with the proposed access road, including if there was enough space for landscaping. Peter Sorgi, Great Valley’s attorney, noted that the position is balanced between what is required. “No one is trying to put it off,â€? Sorgi said. “We’re trying to be thorough and accommodate everyone’s wishes.â€? The board set the next meeting for March 23, at 7 p.m. They anticipate voting on the tower at that meeting.

Why Strength Train?
By Kim Duke, NETA & AAFA Certified Trainer
Whether you’re 100 pounds overweight or just need to lose the last 15, strength training is one of the most effective ways to burn fat and build muscle. In fact, researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham found that men and women who had recently lost weight and performed weight-training exercises burned more calories throughout the day than those who were on an aerobic exercise program. Think you’re too old to start a strength-training program? Well think again! Strength training is just what your body needs to fight the loss of muscle, bone mass and strength that comes with age. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, lifting has been shown to halt and even reverse sarcopenia – the reduction of skeletal muscle that occurs as we age – perhaps keeping us independent longer. Everyone, no matter how young or old, should be doing some kind of regular strength training. This can be at the gym or at home using very
little equipment. Resistance bands and balls, small hand weights and even your own body weight can be used as resistance when designing a strength-training program. Here are just a few of the benefits of strength training: Strength training helps you lose weight. It also helps you lose body fat. And it works in a few different ways. First, it helps you retain the muscle you have while eating fewer calories and losing weight. Second, strength training has a much greater level of excess post-exercise oxygen consumption than aerobic exercise. What does this mean? When you finish a workout, your body needs to do a lot of work to replenish itself in order to bring itself back to a normal state (the way it was before you worked out). This takes a lot of energy, and some studies have shown that it can boost your metabolism for up to 38 hours after you finish your workout. Not only that, but strength training can help increase your metabolism by speeding up your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR). This is because it takes your body more calories to maintain muscle than it does to maintain fat. Estimates are that for every pound of muscle you gain, your RMR goes up 30-50 calories! Strength training makes you healthier. If you’re looking for a workout in which you get the biggest bang for your buck, strength training is it. Strength training can
increase bone density, build a stronger heart, reduce your resting blood pressure, improve blood flow, halt muscle loss, help control blood sugar, improve cholesterol levels and improve your balance and coordination. It also can help correct issues relating to cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and inactivity – all factors for heart disease. Cardiologists are even starting to recommend strength training for people who have suffered a heart attack is as little as three weeks after the attack. Who knows, maybe one day your cardiologist will tell you to do some “cardio” and she’ll be referring to strength training! Strength training makes you feel better. According to a 2005 study in the European Journal of Sports Science, not only will you find yourself with more energy and confidence, you’ll also feel less stress and anxiety and see improvements in your overall mood. I’ve done a lot of research to see if there is anyone or group of people who shouldn’t strength train? I didn’t. Obviously, you should take a break from strength training if you’re injured, and always check with your doctor before you start any sort of exercise program, but if you want to lose weight, build muscle, get healthier and/or just feel better, strength training might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

Letter to the Editor
Ellicottville Times
Dear Editor, On behalf of The Ken Brown 700 Club, we would like to thank all of those who contributed in so many ways to making our 2016 Fundraising Party a huge success. As a result of the funds raised through the luncheon tickets, donations and our auction we will be in a position to help out many local organizations again this year. We would particularly like to thank the management of Holiday Valley for once again allowing us to hold the event at the Yodeler/Champagne Shelter. The lunch could not have been possible without all the help of Vicky and Moose Brown of the Depot. We also want to thank our major donors who sponsored our luncheon, Cattaraugus County Bank, Hodgson Russ, Team Pritchard, ETA Realty and Peace Bridge Duty Free. Each year our party seems to raise more money than the year before. In spite of the cold weather we served more lunches than ever before and, fortunately, many of our friends stayed after lunch for the auction. It was also successful again, thanks to generous contributions from local businesses and individuals, and Holiday Valley and Holimont. The beneficiaries of our fund raising will once again be local organizations. Last year we donated $6200. Our donations in 2016 will bring our total donations back to the community over the $60,000 mark since the humble beginning of the club 15 years ago, when Kenny Brown and nine of his friends decided to do their bit for our community and “Help US Help Others”. Last but not least we want to thank all of our members, not only for their financial contributions to the Club, but also for the many hours they, and their friends spend each year organizing the party, serving food and drinks, and generally assisting in any way to make the event a success. The Ken Brown 700 Club

With spring break almost here, it’s time to arrange for some fun activities while the kids are out of school. If you want them to get creative, how about signing up for ClayVenture Spring Break Art Camps at the Cattaraugus County Arts Council (CCAC) in Allegany. From Monday, March 21 through Friday, March 25, kids will have the opportunity to roll up their sleeves and get dirty with clay during a full week of wonderful hands-on classes under the supervision of CCAC Education Coordinator Ardyth Van Scoy. Unlike the Winter Break Art Camps, ClayVenture will be all about clay all week long! All new clay projects will engage children in two age groups. Ages 4-7 will start off the day from 9-10 a.m. making functional and sculptural items including molded plates, pendants, a bird ornament and a soap dish. The older students, ages 8-11, are next (10:30 a.m. -12 p.m.), with more ambitious projects, such as decorative hanging wall pockets, coil molded bowls and trivets with cutout details.

219 Expansion
Heartworm Prevention is the Best Medicine
Continued from front page
spearheaded by Continental 1, the non-profit organization that is advocating for the completion of a north-south international highway that will one day reach all the way from Toronto to Florida. Continental 1 has been working with the states along the way to find funding for missing sections of highway all along its route. In New York, only the 20 mile stretch that lies in Cattaraugus County, known as Section 12, has yet to be completed, forcing commercial truck traffic from all over the country to share the mostly two-lane road with local traffic through the county’s small villages and towns, including Ashford, Ellicottville, Great Valley and Salamanca. Committee members agreed that the current situation is dangerous. Hugh Dunne, who has been working in various capacities to improve Rt. 219 for some 40 years since his son was killed in Ashford in an accident in 1975, noted that there is an average of three traffic-related deaths on the road every year. Ashford Supervisor Charles Davis said that in his experience as a firefighter, safety at the intersection of Peters Rd. and the old 219 is only getting worse, citing a serious accident there the day before the committee meeting. Meg Lauerman, executive director of Continental 1, explained to the committee that funding for a portion of Rt. 219 completion is more likely than it has been in past years due to the recent release of federal funds to states for “Nationally Significant Freight and Highway Projects” (NSFHP). Lauerman noted that the local project meets virtually all of the qualifications for that program. Julie Schmidt, a representative from State Senator Kathy Young’s office, reported that the Senator has had promising conversations with the DOT Commissioner who “expressed a willingness to consider” 219 given new funding sources. State Senator Joe Giglio, who attended the meeting and has long supported the project, said that he expects to see at least some of the funding in this year’s budget. And representatives from Congress member Tom Reed’s office said that Reed is fully on board and is submitting the application for the federal NSFHP program. The entire 20-mile project is estimated to cost $713 million. Eighty percent of that would come from the federal government; 20 percent would be state funds. Lauerman explained that experience has taught Continental 1 that lobbying for funds to complete small
Dr. Sheila Fitzpatrick with daughter Christina By Sheila Fitzpatrick, DVM
This past week, I performed a routine dental cleaning and examination on an eightyear-old yellow Labrador named “Chase.” As Chase’s owner dropped him off to my hospital, she casually said “can you do one of those heartworm tests too?” My first reaction was, it’s March. We live in a cold climate and we don’t have any mosquitos, but OK, I’ll do one so he can start prevention before the “heartworm season” begins. The course of events from there was unexpected. Chase tested positive for heartworm disease! I picked up the phone and called the owner and the first thing she said was “but how can that be? He acts totally normal. We don’t have heartworm disease HERE do we?” She asked us to test him again in the hospital and send
sections of larger projects has been most successful. As a result, she is recommending that the committee push for funds to start the project at Rt. I-86 and head north for two miles. This section would create a new 219 interchange (Exit 22) at I-86 in Salamanca leading to a new four-lane highway via a new bridge that would go around the city and join the old 219 in Great Valley, keeping commercial traffic off the city streets. She added that the new exchange will be better for both commercial and local traffic even on its own until the rest of the 18 miles are constructed. This two-mile chunk of the project is estimated to cost $100 million. It is the most expensive part of the project since it involves a bridge. Dunne, who was elected chair of the committee at the beginning of the meeting, expressed some frustration that, while the funding picture might look better, there still must be an agreement with the Seneca Nation on the project. Dunne said that, while many leaders of the Nation support the project, many still harbor hard feelings with the state going back to 1976 over the I-86 expressway.
“The state has to resolve the 1976 issue first,” he said. Lauerman agreed, acknowledging the complex issues that need to be addressed. Reached after the meeting, she commented that “there are a lot of well meaning people in this equation and it’s my understanding that all involved are trying to come to a fair and equitable agreement.” Meanwhile, she encouraged committee members and their organizations, where applicable, to lobby Governor Cuomo using a supplied letter (or a customized letter) asking for funding support. The letter states in part that “this project has independent utility, is on the National Highway System, and aligns with the NSFHP program goals. It will, among many benefits, improve safety and efficiency, increase this rural region’s access to national and international trade markets, generate regional economic benefits and improve multimodal connectivity.” Lauerman encourages all supporters of the project to download, print out, sign and send the prepared letter to Governor Cuomo.

a test to an outside laboratory. Again, Chase tested positive. This case brought to light how diseases we “think” our pets are immune to still exist and we must be proactive with prevention before we put our pets in danger. So what is heartworm disease? The heartworm parasite, also known as “Dirofliaria Immitis,” is a parasite transmitted through blood by mosquitoes to dogs and cats. It is most commonly found in geographical areas that have tropical and subtropical climates such as the Atlantic and gulf coasts, however, the parasite has been found in all 50 states, most commonly in areas with mosquitos. Heartworm is actually a lungworm which eventually makes its way to the heart of the pet. Symptoms include lethargy, exercise intolerance and eventual heart failure, but many pets are asymptomatic early on, with the only sign being an occasional cough. If your pet is diagnosed with the parasite early, it can be treated and cured with a powerful medication. If caught late, the disease can be deadly and requires more aggressive treatment. So, get your pets tested! It takes only 10 minutes and your veterinarian can give you preventive medication which usually is given monthly. What if your pet is
positive? Your veterinarian will begin staging the disease with bloodwork and x-rays. From there, you will begin administering medication to take care of the young parasites, then you will schedule injections of stronger medicine to take care of the adult parasites. Your pet must be restricted from exercising during this treatment phase as the risk of an embolism is very high. Don’t worry, you can play with your pet when the treatment is all over! So, what about Chase? It turns out that Chase had actually traveled to Oklahoma where heartworm is endemic. We began his heartworm treatment immediately. What Chase reminded me of is that when we are moving around during the spring and summer months, or are off camping at lakes with a lot of mosquitoes, our pets are at risk! So be conscious of your travel plans with your pet, call your vet, and pick up your prescription for heartworm prevention medicine.

CA BOCES Winter Carnival Draws a Crowd More than 600 students from Cattaraugus-Allegany BOCES and District Special Education classes participated in the 11th Annual Winter Carnival held at the Holiday Valley Tubing Park on March 1 and 2. According to Event Coordinators Chris McNell and Debbie Golley, this year’s Winter Carnival featured tubing, snow soccer, an obstacle course, broom hockey as well as hayrides courtesy of Pumpkinville. “It was a great day for our kids who might not normally have some of these opportunities,” Golley said. On March 1, participants from Olean, Portville, Franklinville and Ellicottville BOCES classrooms, along with Non-BOCES classrooms from Allegany-Limestone, Andover, Salamanca, Olean, Portville, Ellicottville, and Bolivar-Richburg participated. On March 2, participants from Allegany County and Catt-LV BOCES classrooms, as well as Non-BOCES classrooms from Catt-LV, Fillmore, Randolph, Salamanca, Genesee Valley, Wellsville and Lakeshore participated. Unfortunately
students slated to come from Pioneer BOCES and its nonBOCES programs were unable to attend due to a snow day. BOCES and Holiday Valley provided a hot dog roast, chips, cookies, popcorn and hot chocolate to all participants. The Big Pig from WPIG was on hand both days and also made a trip down the tubing hill. Ellicottville’s Bob McCarthy was the emcee for both days. This year a new attraction was added: Jonathan Clarkson from American Hawkeye was at Winter Carnival with his trained falcons. The kids loved them.
Approximately 300 volunteers assisted over the two-day event, including student volunteers from Ellicottville Central School and the Ellicottville BOCES Center.

Charles R. Coolidge - Reliable – Trustworthy This year over past is an extremely important time in the continuing progress of our small, bustling yet charming village. We are up against a formidable opponent this election year. One who has been Mayor in the past. I feel very strongly the need to keep the Village in the same positive path it has been on since I became Mayor 18 years ago. With all due respect, this person recently lost the Town Supervisor election. Recent accomplishments: • Recently received two grants which total over $1.3 million: One from the Environmental Facilities Corporation and another from NYSERTA. These will both be used to reduce the municipal bond on the sewer project. Completed the shared services project with the Town of Ellicottville on the East Tank project. • The Streets and sidewalks are in great shape as we continue working to improve every year. • The Village Park has had all roofs replaced and we are in the process of repainting. New picnic tables have been purchased with the help of the Rotary Club, and new playground equipment for the children. • Purchased a new Backhoe and truck. • No new taxes in years. • Mayor salary is minimal and nobody on the Village Board including the Mayor receives Health insurance. In conclusion I love this village with all my heart, I am a family man, born and raised in the Village of Ellicottville. My wife, Sharon and I raised our three boy’s right here, and I am happily surrounded by my 11 grandchildren. I look forward to maintaining my position as Mayor for many more years to come, and serving the voters to the very best of my ability.
Please vote Republican - Charles R. Coolidge – Mayor – and for Bob Brogcinski-Trusee and Patra Lowes-Trustee. Also, Charles R. Coolidge- Mayor for People’s Choice on the Independent line.
Mayor Election Continued from front page
members, Republicans Patra Lowes and Bob Brogcinski, are running for reelection. “New Village” candidate Joseph DiPasquale also is running for the board. Candidates with the two highest vote totals will prevail. The election takes place on Tuesday, March 15 at the Ellicottville Town Center (the former Cornell Cooperative Extension Service building). Polls will be open from noon to 9 p.m. The Ellicottville Times asked each mayoral candidate about their reasons for running and what they hope to achieve. The interviews are organized alphabetically. John Burrell John Burrell served as town supervisor for eight years and served as mayor of the village in the 1990s. He has volunteered as a firefighter for 51 years and an ambulance driver for 41 years. He worked in his family’s Burrell Cutlery business until it closed in 2006, and with J. D. Northrup Construction, Inc. Burrell believes his government experience, community service and fresh ideas make him the best choice for mayor. He is running on three platform issues. The first is to foster the tourism-driven economy of the Village. He feels that the job of the village board is to govern what the village is now and what it will be in the future, not what it once was. To that end, he believes the mayor and board must be responsive to the voters (those who are yearround residents) as well as to the non-voters (those who own properties and pay taxes but cannot vote). “I will work to stimulate our tourism economy from every angle in order to keep it healthy,” he said. Burrell’s second platform issue is to focus on intermunicipality consolidation of services. “We have to find
creative ways to do things for less money,” he said. “We don’t all need the same special equipment,” he said as an example. “Wherever practical, municipalities should share.” Finally, Burrell plans to significantly improve the parking situation in the village. He said the issue has been a source of frustration for many years, but the village board has done little to address it. Burrell believes parking can be relieved “at minimal cost to the village” and promises to work diligently to get part of the solution completed in his first year as mayor. In addition to addressing these issues, Burrell believes his experience with municipal budgets, financial reporting and audits will be an asset to the village board and the public. He noted that past village budgets were not formatted to state standards and he discovered some discrepancies between budgeted vs. actual revenues and expenses. While the bottom line was not affected, Burrell is concerned that decisions may have been made without all the necessary information. “The $1.9 million village budget is in the hands of just a few people. It needs to be accurate,” he said. Charles Coolidge Coolidge grew up in Ellicottville, worked with the Cattaraugus County Department of Public Works throughout his career, and has served as Village mayor for the past 18 years after serving for one year on the village board of trustees. Coolidge points to his track record as mayor and to the projects he wants to see completed as his reasons for running for another term and asking for your vote. Over the past several years, Coolidge has overseen a variety of infrastructure improvements, notably the design, planning, funding
and construction of a new wastewater treatment plant. He notes that the Village was able to secure two significant grants and a no-interest loan to offset the costs of the state-mandated plant, ensuring that residents will not see an increase in their sewer bills as a result of the project. Coolidge also notes completion of a number of renovations/improvements at the village park, including new roofs on all park buildings, new picnic tables and new playground equipment. The next infrastructure project the mayor plans for the village is constructing a new roof for the Rt. 242 reservoir. Coolidge said engineers are already looking at that project. He hopes to be able to oversee this project in his next term. “We have to keep up the infrastructure or the village will fail.” Regarding sharing services, Coolidge says that the village has always worked with other municipalities. “We were doing that long before the state thought of it,” he said, recalling plowing town roads on his way to plow county roads while working for the DPW. He also said there have been and continue to be agreements between the town of Ellicottville and the Village to share costs, services and labor. Coolidge has and will continue to work on maintaining the beauty and charm of the Village in order to retain its unique identity, bring in new businesses and attract more people to the town to live, work and raise their families. “We have a terrific school and community. We want to see more people move here and get involved,” he said. “I’m a doer,” he said. “If I say I’m going to do something, I will. I’ve always been everybody’s mayor – whether you voted for me or not, whether you live here or not.”

‘The Steel Kiss’ by Jeffery Deaver Amelia Sachs is hot on the trail of a killer. She’s chasing him through a department store in Brooklyn when an escalator malfunctions. The stairs give way, with one man horribly mangled by the gears. Sachs is forced to let her quarry escape as she jumps in to try to help save the victim. She and famed forensic detective Lincoln Rhyme soon learn, however, that the incident may not have been an accident at all, but the first in a series of intentional attacks. They find themselves up against one of their most formidable opponents ever: a brilliant killer who turns common products into murder weapons. As the body count threatens to grow, Sachs and Rhyme must race against the clock to unmask his identity--and discover his mission--before more people die.

OBITUARY Frank Rolland Simons 1923-2016
Frank Rolland Simons, 92, died at the home of his son, John Simons, in Castaic, California on Jan. 9, 2016, of heart failure. Frank was born in Ellicottville, NY, on June 6, 1923. He graduated from Ellicottville High School in June 1941. Frank was a World War II veteran, serving in the U.S. Navy. He reported to Sampson Naval Training Station near Geneva, NY, for basic training. He soon found himself aboard LST 32 (land ships tank) traveling in one of the first naval convoys crossing the Atlantic to North Africa. The ship moved troops and tanks throughout the Mediterranean Sea region: Greece, Sicily, Italy, and finally southern France. Aboard the ship, Frank was a cook, manning the stern anchor as his battle station. After the war, he worked at his family-owned Simons Restaurant on Main Street in Ellicottville until owning and operating the Frank R. Simons Hardwood Lumber Co. in New Albion, NY. After selling his sawmill, he continued buying, cutting and selling logs throughout the 1950s to other
sawmills in southwestern New York. In the early 1960s, Frank worked at St. John Vianney Seminary in East Aurora, NY. From 1964 until his retirement in 1987, Frank worked for St. Bonaventure University in its maintenance department. On May 25, 1951, he married Lois L. Holts of Machias, NY. They had four children, all who survive: Rolland (Mary Glass) Simons of Bozeman, MT, Fritz (Kimberly) Simons of Ashville, NY, John (Mary Anne) Simons of Castaic, CA, and Mary (Patrick) Gorman of Hilo, HI. In addition to his children, Frank is survived by 11 grandchildren; 10 greatgrandchildren; and several nieces and nephews. Frank was predeceased by his wife; a sister, Grace McLouth of Phoeniz, AZ; and his parents, Rolland and Mabel (Krause) Simons. He was also predeceased by his loving companion of 15 years, Eloise Kreiger. A celebration of his life is planned for June 15, 2016 in Allegany, NY, where his ashes will be buried in St. Bonaventure Cemetery. For those who knew Frank, we will miss your letters. For
those who did not know my dad, let me just say that he was my friend. If I ever had a problem with him, it was not living up to his high standards that he set. He had us boys out pushing lawn mowers and carrying firewood for as long as I can remember. He preferred hard work to a prestigious title. I never once heard him say he didn’t make enough money. He always gave his employer 100 percent. But he never told someone else to work harder. He would go out in a blizzard at night to help you shovel your car out of a ditch without seeking praises or press. He sold his parent’s bar in Ellicottville as he didn’t like the state’s policy on serving Native Americans. He would occasionally enjoy a glass of wine or a couple of beers but I never saw him drunk. He never missed church on Sunday, but I never heard him tell someone else they should go. He couldn’t have told you the difference between a shortstop or a quarterback, but he loved cutting firewood - it was his golf game. So enjoy that new chainsaw, Dad, for it never dulls, always starts, and never runs out of fuel.
March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month If you noticed an unusual number of people at Bertrand Chaffee Hospital and the Jennie B. Richmond Nursing Home wearing blue on Friday, March 4, here is the reason why: wearing blue is part of a national campaign by the Colon Cancer Alliance to raise awareness about this detectible and treatable disease. Dozens of BCH and JBR employees took part in this activity to draw attention to colorectal cancer and the importance of regular screenings. Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer among cancers that affect men and women, and screenings are recommended for adults over the age of 50 or earlier, depending on family history.

Both take place Sunday. Fun, entertainment, friendly competition, food and music are in your future—Mardi Gras and Winter Carnival showcases EVL at its best. Buckle up and enjoy the ride!

then, the building has had some exterior renovations, including a 20-foot addition and some new architectural features. The former BK drive-through window will be put to good use by the rental management group; property renters will be able to pull in and pick up their keys without even leaving their cars! Also outside, two stone pillars were erected to anchor the exterior sign from the old HV Rental and Realty location down the road. Signs also will be placed on the face of the building.
Extensive interior renovations are nearing completion. According to Holiday Valley’s Marketing
Director Jane Eshbaugh, there will be 16 offices for HV Realty agents, Rental Management agents and managers, as well as comfortable reception areas for guests. The location is “close to the resort, has plenty of parking for renters and realty customers and there’s easy access,” Eshbaugh said. She added that there will be an “After Hours Event” for Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce members and others in May to introduce the community to the new location.

Olean Home Show April 8-10 The Greater Olean Area Home Show, presented by Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce and its 50 corporate sponsors, is your all-access pass to home specialists offering all the expert advice; solutions and inspiration for whatever home project you have planned this year. The show will be held April 8-10, 2016. The Home Show committee has themes for each of the home show days: Friday, April 8 – Friday Night Wine Walk; Saturday, April 9 – Handyman Contest Day; Sunday, April 10 – Every 30 Minutes: Gift Card Raffles Day. For the Friday Night Wine Walk, GOACC will have home show vendors ‘host’ a winery/craft beer place that will hand out their drinks to participants of the walk. People will be coming to the booth to get the samples, but will increase traffic to your booth. For the Handyman Contest Day – GOACC is hoping to find out just who is the Olean Area’s best handyman or woman. There are plenty of those who say they are the best, but now it will be official with the Handyman contest. Each contestant will have a number of fix it challenges. The one who completes in the quickest time with satisfaction from the judges wins a cash prize. For the Every 30 Minutes: Raffles Day – In addition to the grand prize, the home show committee will be giving away gift cards from the show’s participants. The Home Show is a unique marketplace to shop, compare and save on a total selection of home-related products and services for building, remodeling, gardening and decorating. The show dates and times are as follows: April 8, 5 to 9 p.m., April 9, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday, April 10, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information on the Home Show or other GOACC events and activities, please call GOACC at (716) 372-4433 or email member@oleanny.com.

Happy Half and 5K May 7 On May 7, we want to help put the FUN into running. Sometimes it is not just about the distance, it is how you get there and what you do after the event. We will have fun distractions on course (we aren’t talking bubbles and Unicorns – but you never know), entertainment, great food and beer as part of a great party at Holiday Valley Resort after you get done. With the award winning Southern Tier Brewery providing the refreshments, how can you go wrong? The day will feature a Half Marathon, 5K, and a Beer Mile for those with iron stomachs. We want our participants to enjoy their run so there will be a few surprises out on course that will make you smile. Make sure to bring your smiles to run the miles! For more info, or to sign up, visit www. happyhalfrun.com.
