Get Ready for an ActionCelebrate Spring in EVL Packed April

April 1 Tentative opening of Holiday Valley Golf Course

By Alicia Dziak

April showers bring loads of fun to EVL! While it may be referred to as “mud season” around these parts, that doesn’t mean it’s time to sit inside and wait for summer. Where to begin? Outdoor Adventures April 1 marks the start of trout season in the region. The Enchanted Mountains offers great steelhead fishing opportunities along the Cattaraugus Creek. Licenses are just $25 ($50 for nonresident) and are good for one full year from date of purchase. Visit www.dec.ny.gov/ outdoor/31432.html to learn about specific regulations for Catt County. Get your game on! The mild winter has made way for the chance to golf early this year. Holiday Valley’s driving range is open, and the “official” opening of the golf course’s front nine is Friday, April 1. Tee off and start the spring off right! Whitewater rafting is a surefire way to get in your adrenaline rush, and April is the perfect time to go, with the spring thaw filling the creeks. Enjoy the gorges of Zoar Valley from below as you navigate the rapids of the mighty Cattaraugus Creek with experienced guides. Check out www.ZoarValleyRafting. com, www.Adventure-Calls. com or CattRaftingAdventures. com. April 22 is Earth Day. Celebrate the great outdoors and enjoy some fresh springtime air.

HoliMont’s Mangan Trail Heights Development Podiums at U.S. Nationals Gets Planning Board OK Four Athletes Excel at CanAms

By Caitlin Croft

The United States National Championships took place at Sun Valley Resort in Idaho

March 23-27. HoliMont Racing native Patricia Mangan, now a member of the U.S. Ski Team, had a phenomenal race series, besting many veteran U.S. Ski Team members. Day one was an Alpine Combined which is made up of one Downhill or Super G run and one Slalom run. Mangan podiumed, taking the bronze medal, finishing only 0.38 seconds behind the gold! On day two, Mangan took the bronze medal once again for her Super G performance. Day three was a Slalom race, and Mangan found herself in the

top 10 taking 8th. On the final day of competition, Mangan finished 14th. Congratulations to the HoliMonter on her magnificent achievements this year! CanAm Intersport Championships Last week, Mont Tremblant in Quebec hosted the U16 CanAm Intersport Championships.

An Ellicottville Easter Tradition Lives On Kids and their families celebrated Easter a day early with the annual Easter Egg Hunt, sponsored by the Ellicottville Volunteer Fire Department. The weather cooperated for an outdoor hunt in the park, and the kids collected dozens of eggs, with some also winning great prizes such as chocolate and stuffed bunnies. Thank you to all who helped make this another success! Check out more event photos by Deb Golley on page 6.

The Town of Ellicottville’s Planning Board has approved the Trail Heights Subdivision preliminary plat plan application from developer Phillip Vogt with some conditions that must be met before approving the final plat plan. The board’s approval came

after a public hearing on the matter. During the hearing, Town Planner Gary Palumbo read through a detailed description of the subdivision for the benefit of a half dozen members of the public who attended the hearing. One asked if there will be trails on the property. Palumbo explained that there

will be private community trails for residents’ use, but that the Finger Lakes trail, which runs adjacent to but not on the subdivision property, will remain open to public use. There were no other comments from the public. The development is on See Planning Board page 7

The Art of Animal Rescue By Alicia and Ava Dziak

Adorable puppies and kittens enter this world every day. Some are in loving homes, cared for and looked after and loved. Yet so many others are abandoned, not fed and treated like trash. These animals need a chance, which unfortunately, not all of them get. The good news is that many of these animals DO get a second chance, in large part due to the efforts of rescues such as Empire Animal Rescue Society, a.k.a. EARS, based in Salamanca. Rescuing an animal is not a one-man (or woman) show. There are so many people involved, and in the case of most of the puppies my daughter Ava and I have fostered over the past six months, these people span several states. There are the people who run the rescues in Kentucky, who save these animals from highkill shelters and put out a plea for help. Once arrangements are made for EARS in Salamanca to take the animals, many other things must be done before they can be adopted. Before the animals even arrive in New York, people from EARS need to line up foster families, who will care for and love the animals until they can find a forever home. We are one of these families and are proud of it! Then there are the transporters, the network of people who drive in one-hour shifts to get the animals to EARS in Salamanca. When the animals do arrive, the farm is bustling with families scooping up their fosters and transporting them back to their homes. In our case, that’s another hour for these puppies, who have already spent almost the entire day in the car! Once the animals are in the care of EARS, their pictures are posted on the EARS website so

people can view all the dogs and cats up for adoption. As a foster family, we take lots of pictures and send any details to the EARS coordinators to add to the website too. Besides the website, social media is a rescue’s best friend. With the option to view and share Facebook posts, foster families can add pictures and info about each animal, and post them online for all their friends, and hopefully friends-offriends, to see. While I use the Facebook angle, Ava keeps busy posting current pics on Instagram, which seems to be the preferable site among the younger set. While flooding the internet with pics of each animal is not a fool-proof way to get them adopted, it definitely helps, as we have had one neighbor and one friend-of-a-friend adopt two of the pups we’ve fostered, with a few others filling out applications for the future. Even if someone we know doesn’t adopt that particular animal, building awareness about EARS and all the animals they rescue is an important add-on benefit. Many people who live near us in Springville hadn’t heard of EARS before, and now we love that we’ve become the go-to pet people in our school district! Parents and kids are always asking us about specific dog breed mixes they’re looking for, and we’re hoping to one day find the perfect pet for them. From what we’ve found,

this system of transporting the animals to New York and finding them good foster homes until they get adopted works. Since we started this project in the fall, we’ve had eight puppies come and go to good forever homes (plus one dog who we kept!), and currently have one puppy who we hope will find a wonderful home soon. Fostering can be a lot of work at times, but it’s made us all come together as a family, dividing and conquering all the work that comes along with the rewards of puppy-ing. EARS makes sure each animal is up-to-date on shots, and that they are fixed through EARS. Even transportation to appointments is a team effort between the foster families and EARS. EARS is always looking for foster families to help care for the large number of cats and dogs (and sometimes other animals like pigs!) that come to them. If you can help, send an email to empirerescue@ gmail.com or check out their Facebook page, where the needs for specific animals are posted.

March 2016 Dear Foster Dog Diary, My name is Ava Dziak and I am a seventh grade student at Springville Griffith Middle School. I am doing a project called “Kids Can Make a Difference” in English and social studies. The purpose of this project is to help make a difference in the world through community service or volunteer work. Rocky and Apollo We got to name these puppies and named them after Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed from the Rocky movies, which my family loves. Rocky and Apollo came from a hoarding situation in Kentucky. They were nine weeks old when we got them. These sibling puppies are Chihuahua-Spitz mixes (a Spitz is a medium-sized Alaskan Eskimo dog) and are the same colors, yet look so different from each other. Rocky is a girl who is very small, has a stub tail, pointy ears and a black muzzle. Apollo is a boy who is bigger than his sister, has a long tail, fluffy ears and a brown muzzle. He is very social and they are both hyper. They had three other siblings that we didn’t take—one was white, one was brown and white, and the other was the same colors as Rocky and Apollo. After we had both puppies for four weeks, we took them to Salamanca to get fixed and picked them up the next day. When we took

them home, we gave them a dewormer medicine that went in their food and flea medicine that we dripped down their backs. Throughout the time that we had them, their bond was growing closer because they would sleep on each other and play with each other and I was worried how they would be and act once they were separated. Also, right after they got fixed, they kept biting each other when they were together and I was very worried that they would bite the other one’s stitches out. We have had to give these puppies more baths than any other foster puppies! After five weeks with both of them, a woman who lives in Lackawanna wanted to adopt Rocky as a birthday present for herself. She came with her son and they loved her at first sight and took her home. Our friend’s daughter is allergic to dogs, but when they met Apollo, they loved him and they wanted to see how she felt around him. After we brought him to their house, they decided that even though they loved him, it wasn’t the best idea, knowing his fur might change as he gets older and be a problem for her allergies. The good news is we have other friends who want to adopt him now and are sending in their application this week. Hopefully it will work out so we can see him whenever we want!

Located at 78 Conewango Road, Cardinal Hills Golf Course offers activities for golfers of all ages and skill levels. The course, which was founded in 1927, has hosted a variety of leagues, tournaments, and events over the years, and is looking forward to an exciting new season in 2016. Leagues for men, women and seniors meet every day of the week except Fridays. On Saturdays, the Mike Benca Jr. six-week instructional golf program teaches children the basics of golf and concludes with a tournament in August. Owner Eric Brown is pleased to announce the construction of the new Event Center, which is scheduled to open next spring. The center, which was originally built to host the course’s larger tournaments, will be available to book for weddings, reunions and other events that require seating for 100 or more guests. Cardinal Hills’ Club House, which includes a full bar and restaurant, will continue to serve golfers and guests; its full menu is available online at www.cardinalhillsny.com. To schedule a tee time or get more information about 2016 rates, call (716) 358-5409.

Springtime is also the perfect time to explore one of the largest Old Order Amish communities in the northeast. Western New York’s Amish community is a self-sustaining one, as most families are farmers who raise their own livestock and grow their own crops. As visitors drive throughout the Amish community, they will see a variety of animals including cattle, sheep, goats and more, as well as the iconic horsedrawn buggies. Many Amish families support themselves through the goods they make

and sell. Furniture, ironwork, leatherwork, toys, quilts, rugs, baskets and more are made and sold year-round by Amish families who have been teaching these skills to younger generations for many years. Those unfamiliar with the area would benefit from a guided Amish tour in which the guide rides along in your vehicle and can tailor the tour to your specific interests and time constraints. Amish tours are by reservation only and may be arranged by contacting the Leon Historical Society at (716) 259-5709 or (716) 2595268 and the Randolph Area Community Dev. Corp. at (716) 358-9701 ext. 208. Many visitors enjoy taking a self-guided tour with the Amish Trail Map brochure, which is available at the Welcome Center of the Randolph Municipal Building at 72 Main Street in Randolph. The map is also available online to download at www.AmishTrail.com. In addition to a detailed listing and map of Amish businesses, the brochure includes directions and information about “English” businesses, including restaurants and shops. For more information, visit www.AmishTrail.com or call 1-800-331-0543. Once the weather becomes warmer, one of the busiest places in Randolph is Weeden Park, where sports fields, playgrounds and a walking path give everyone something to enjoy. This spring, Weeden Park will be the site of the Dash of Color 5K Run/Walk event sponsored by the Village

‘The Summer Before the War’ by Helen Simonson Hugh Grange, down from his medical studies, is visiting his Aunt Agatha, who lives with her husband in the small, idyllic coastal town of Rye. Agatha’s husband works in the Foreign Office, and she is certain he will ensure that the recent saber rattling over the Balkans won’t come to anything. And Agatha has more immediate concerns; she has just risked her carefully built reputation by pushing for the appointment of a woman to replace the Latin master. When Beatrice Nash arrives with one trunk and several large crates of books, it is clear she is significantly more freethinking—and attractive— than anyone believes a Latin teacher should be. For her part, mourning the death of her beloved father, who has left her penniless, Beatrice simply wants to be left alone to pursue her teaching and writing. But just as Beatrice comes alive to the beauty of the Sussex landscape and the colorful characters who populate Rye, the perfect summer is about to end. For despite Agatha’s reassurances, the unimaginable is coming. Soon the limits of progress, and the old ways, will be tested as this small Sussex town and its inhabitants go to war. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. Don’t forget, you can access over 13,700 eBooks and eAudiobooks using your library card!

70-acres across Poverty Hill Rd. from the planned 42 Degrees North (42DN) resort community. The east side of the new development abuts the town’s conservation district. A new private road, called Trail Heights Road, will be located directly across from the entrance to 42DN and will run roughly straight through the middle of the site with a culde-sac at the end. Driveways to each home will come off of Trail Heights Rd. Fourteen lots with singlefamily homes will be constructed. Twelve of the lots exceed 5 acres; two are 2+ acres – the minimum size in the “Low Density” zoning district. The private road, community trail and easements will be maintained through a Homeowners Association (HOA). Following closure of the public hearing, the board conducted its State Environmental Quality Review of the project and found that the project “will not have

a significant impact on the environment.” Palumbo and Town Planner Mark Alianello advised the board that the project’s preliminary plans were in order and that the board could approve the application pending some conditions that can be resolved before the final plat plan is submitted. One condition was that the board be provided with a copy of the development’s offering plan (HOA document) before it goes to the State Attorney General’s office. The board wants to ensure that adequate funding is provided by the HOA for maintenance of common property. The board also wants to be sure that language is included that addresses limits on clearing trees on individual lots to prevent clear cutting. Other conditions included: A request to provide revised engineering drawings that show the location of driveways on three lots; A requirement that a final drainage plan and drawings for

the intersection of Poverty Hill Road and Trail Heights Rd. be submitted to the town engineer for approval; and A requirement that the driveways for lots 1 and 14 have access only from Trail Heights Rd. The board approved the preliminary plat plan with the above conditions. In other business, Alianello reported that William Bursee, the owner of the proposed Stillhouse Brewpub on Rt. 219, has hired engineer Carl Calarco to facilitate completion of plans for the site. Alianello, Palumbo, town building inspector Tom Abriatis, Bursee and Calarco met recently and Alianello feels confident that the project is now moving in the right direction. He expects a more complete application will be available for board review at its April meeting. The next meeting of the Town of Ellicottville Planning Board will be held on Monday, April 25 at 6 p.m. in the town/ village hall.

Ellicottville Hotel Revenue Up Ellicottville Nets Majority of Collections, Sets Q4 Record There’s no getting around it. We are coming off a tough winter for the Ellicottville area. The good news, however, is that Ellicottville has seen another year of hotel occupancy. In 2015, Ellicottville’s share of lodging tax, known as bed tax, made up 60 percent of the overall amount collected in Cattaraugus County. As a whole, the County collected $791,209 in bed tax, an increase of 2.4 percent over 2014. Lodging in Ellicottville saw a fourth quarter increase over 2014 and marginally that increase broke a record for the period of Sept. 1 to Nov. 31, 2015. Visitors continue to come to Ellicottville from all over North America. Continued monitoring of license plates shows that those visitors are coming from not only other places in New York but also Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Ontario. Other recent plate sightings show that travelers from Connecticut, Vermont, Massachusetts, Florida, Texas, and South Carolina are coming to see what Ellicottville is all about. Lodging revenue in Ellicottville has more than doubled in collected revenue since 2005. “Everything we do in terms of our destination marketing plan is geared to overnight stays,” Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce Executive Director, Brian McFadden, said. “These are the people that spend the most in our area, and that is one of the reasons we aim to have so many multi-day festivals.” A 2014 study by Tourism Economics showed that traveler spending in Cattaraugus County was just over $214 million with just over 17 percent of the county workforce sustained by tourism. Were it not for tourism-generated state and local taxes the average household in the region would have to pay an additional $635 in taxes to maintain the same level of government revenue.

Ski Race Results Continued from front page

days of racing. Day one was a Super G for both men and women. Day two was a Giant Slalom for the women, day three the men competed in a Giant Slalom, and on day four all athletes skied Slalom races. Day One: Thibodeau finished 41st, followed by teammate Foxcroft in 44th. Kasahara took 45th and Elizondo finished 63rd. Day Two: Elizondo improved on her Super G result finishing 48th. Kasahara had another strong finish in 54th. Day Three: Foxcroft had the best result of the series finishing 32nd. Thibodeau placed 42nd. Day Four: Thibodeau took an impressive 35th on the last

day of competition. Foxcroft did not finish his first run. Elizondo placed 40th with the best result for the women in the series and Kasahara took 47th. Let’s take a second to appreciate the time, dedication, athleticism and mental stamina it took for all of these four athletes to qualify for this race. It is not often that Ellicottville’s mountains send this many kids to such an elite competition, and everyone should be proud of the results considering they had significantly less time on snow this season. Good luck to all athletes in their spring/ summer/fall athletic endeavors. We look forward to covering your successes next season!

Sportsmen’s Show Continued from front page

Cattaraugus and Allegany County Pistol Clerks will also be available both days to conduct national instant criminal background checks for attendees wishing to sell and purchase firearms. Admission is just $5, and kids under 12 are free. The Sportsmen’s Show is the department’s main fundraiser of the year and draws visitors from 100+ miles away. Event organizer and LVVFD member Jim Miller said more than 1400 people attended the event last year and he hopes to reach 2000 attendees this year. Proceeds from the show are used to purchase essential equipment and maintain the Little Valley Volunteer Fire Department’s facilities. The department provides both fire and ambulance service to a large geographic area,

including the town and village of Little Valley and parts of the town of Mansfield. While you’re at the sportsmen’s show, be sure to talk with some of the LVVFD members who will be there throughout the event about becoming a volunteer. Miller can’t emphasize how important it is to attract more volunteers. “When I joined the department in the 1980s, we had 75 members and a waiting list,” he said. Now we have maybe 30 active members, and sometimes it’s hard to get anyone to respond to a call.” If you’re interested in joining the department, “we really need extra hands,” he said. For more information about becoming a volunteer or about the Sportsmen’s Show, call Miller at 716-938-6928.

FIREBALL RUN® at ASP Sept. 24 FIREBALL RUN® is an adventuretravel television series and live action adventurally® competition. It is the real story of 40 teams of adventurers, taking the road less traveled in an epic quest for America’s most obscure and historic artifacts. One of the stops along this fast-paced competition will be Allegany State Park (ASP) on Sept. 24. The race will also take participants to Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut, and Massachusetts before concluding on Oct. 1. The event web site describes it as “the story of a legendary 8 day, 2,000 mile lifesized, trivia pursuit road rally competition and unlike Reality TV, this is real. Join zany driving teams as they race to locate America’s most obscure places & historic artifacts. And it’s all just for bragging rights and a plastic road sign. FIREBALL RUN is a mile-for-mile entertaining, thought-provoking and emotional journey which inspires people to take the road less traveled. You may root for all, but only one can win. FIREBALL RUN is a 26 episode streaming series in the U.S., which is televised in foreign markets.” Stay tuned to the Ellicottville Times for more info as it becomes available. In the meantime, check out www.fireballrun.com to see what it’s all about!

Dustin Lynch Coming to LV Aug. 4

It’s official. Rising country artist Dustin Lynch is this year’s headliner at the Cattaraugus County Fair. And if you plan ahead, you might just be able to snag some tickets for you and your friends before they’re sold out. Tickets will go on sale at 9 a.m. on Thursday, April 14. According to his website, “Broken Bow Records artist Dustin Lynch occupies a unique place in today’s country music. Thanks to his classic sensibilities, he’s been heralded as the heir to George Strait’s throne. Yet with one listen to [his latest album], ‘Where It’s At,’ it’s obvious the young Tennessee native knows how to combine his traditional influences with an edgy intensity that places him at the vanguard of today’s contemporary country scene.” Ticket purchase information is not yet available. “Like” The Ellicottville Times on Facebook for details as they become available.

NYS Burn Ban Through May 14 Reminder: New York State has a brush burning ban in effect until May 14. “While many people may associate wildfires with the western United States, the early start of spring weather, dry conditions and lack of snow pack are increasing the risk for wildfires in New York,” said Acting Commissioner Basil Seggos. “New York prohibits residential burning during the high-risk fire season to reduce wildfires and protect people, property and natural resources. Since being enacted in 2009, the ban has been extremely effective in reducing the number of wildfires, and we need all residents to put safety first and follow the brush burning ban.” The DEC also urges citizens to employ alternatives to burning brush, like chipping wood and downed branches for use as mulch and composting yard waste, leaves and plant clippings for use in gardens. Campfires: Campfires using charcoal or untreated wood are allowed, but people should never leave fires unattended and must completely extinguish them before leaving the area. Burning Garbage: Burning garbage or leaves is prohibited year-round.

Maple Weekend April 2-3 NYS Maple Weekends have been one of the highlights of spring since 1995, when sugar houses first began inviting the public to see first-hand how syrup is made. The Ellicottville area is fortunate to have many sugar houses that are participating in Maple Weekend. Visitors can expect a range of hands-on activities at these sugar houses, including guided tours, tree tapping demos, maple syrup product samples, pancake breakfasts, and the sugar-on-snow treat known as “jack wax.” Some places offer specialty items like maple cotton candy and maple hot dogs, while others will feature craft vendors and unique retail items for sale. Plan your weekend by checking out New York State Maple Producers Association’s website, www.nysmaple.com, for a list of local maple producers who will be open this weekend and details for each and get your maple fix!
