Steelbound Plans to Open Doors May 7
LIVE Music
By Alicia Dziak
Steelbound Brewery & Distillery, the 5,000 square feet building at 6600 Route 219 in Ellicottville (across from Tim Horton’s), will soon be ready to welcome guests from all over WNY. With an opening day planned for Monday, May 7, Steelbound will offer brews, signature drinks and fresh food. After some name confusion within the industry, the restaurant/ bar changed its former name of Stillhouse to Steelbound. It’s owned by William Bursee, a retired building contractor who now lives in Springville. While Bursee originally planned to open the brewery in Buffalo, he was drawn to Ellicottville’s beauty, and made the decision to open here when he and his wife drove by the current location and saw the “for sale” sign.

Reconnect, Rejuvenate, Relax at Upcoming Women’s Events By Alicia Dziak
Being a woman means many things. It means working hard well beyond the typical work day. It means being a mother, a daughter, a wife, a sister, a friend. It means taking care of others, and let’s be honest, quite often forgetting or not leaving time to take care of yourself. In a world of constantly meeting work deadlines, driving carpools, refereeing kids and helping maintain a somewhat presentable household, treating yourself to a break every now and then is not only welldeserved but also important. Well, your opportunity is almost
here. Come June, there are three consecutive weekends of women-centric activities planned and you don’t want to miss out!
Weekend. “This weekend is about relaxing from the pressures of everyday life, reconnecting with those you may not get to spend enough time with, having the ability to let loose with the ones that know you best, while treating yourself with what you deserve,” said Barb Pump, Communications,

ECS Board Continues to Discuss School Safety By Kathleen Kellogg
Superintendent Robert Miller told members of the Ellicottville Board of Education on Tuesday that he is looking into the cost of a consultant’s walk-through and safety assessment of the school building in the wake of the March 23 lockout and shelter-in-place. He said the consultant is a retired New York State Trooper. “School safety — it’s in the front of my mind due to what happened in March,” Miller said. He said he has met with the Ellicottville Police Department and the New York State Troopers,
and the next meeting will be with the Safety Committee as he begins to draft changes to the safety procedures. Miller said the Cattaraugus County Emergency Services Department is always ready to help and local law enforcement agencies can also perform an assessment. “We have a plan, it isn’t perfect but did it work? Absolutely,” Miller said, adding new procedures will cover safety, technology and professional development. See ECS Board, page 7

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
‘Alexandra’ to Celebrate 25 Years in Business
By Deb Everts
This year marks the 25th anniversary for Alexandra, one of Ellicottville’s gift shops and keystone businesses. Anyone looking for the perfect gift has a good chance to find it at Alexandra. Located at 10 Washington St. in the heart of downtown Ellicottville, Alexandra is a contemporary gift store where shoppers will find a wide selection of items including handcrafted pottery and glassware, handcrafted jewelry, bath and body products, picture frames and fashion accessories. Over the years, Alexandra has developed a large following, especially for cards and paper products. Owner Joan Ess, of Williamsville, said she has always searched for unusual, well-priced, high-quality merchandise and most is American- or Canadian-made. She is proud to carry handiwork made by women refugees, fair-trade items and products offered by companies that “give back.” She does all the merchandise buying on her own, but manager Lynn Timon helps with reordering. “We are especially proud to carry jewelry and pottery made by
local, American and Canadian artists, such as hand-painted glassware by Golden Hill Studio. We recently acquired a selection of magical gicleé prints by Eli Halpin, an Alaskan-born artist who now resides in Austin, Texas,” she said. Timon, of Ellicottville, said she has managed the store for 18 years this September, and she feels blessed to work there. She said the shop carries one product in particular that customers seem to love, which is a line of pottery from Hilborn Pottery that’s handmade by ceramic artist Nancy Hilborn of Cambridge, Ontario. “It’s a very organic looking pottery that is very unique in shape, color and finish,” she said. “People love it and many people come in to get more pieces
Steelbound
to keep adding on to what they already have.” Ess said the first store, founded in Buffalo in May 1993, was named after her daughter, Xandra, then it was moved to Williamsville. “I opened the second location in Ellicottville, in 1997, because I enjoyed the atmosphere and energy of the town and wanted to participate in the growth of the village,” she said. Although Alexandra has been a presence among the gift shops of Ellicottville for a quarter-century, Ess said her store is not one of Ellicottville’s oldest. She said Earth Arts has been in business for over 40 years and Kazoo II for about 30 years. To find out more, call Alexandra at (716) 6995621 or visit online at alexandragiftsonline.com and Facebook.

Continued from front page “It’s gorgeous,” Bursee said of the view while pointing out the window from the upstairs bar area, which overlooks ski slopes in the distance. The new brewery sits on about 2 acres, with plenty of space for parking. The restaurant portion of the building is two floors, each with its own bar, and has a capacity of 307 guests. The brewing equipment is located toward the back of the building. Steelbound, which has been brewed at the current location for the past couple of months, is currently on tap at many area bars and restaurants, from WNY to Rochester to Syracuse. Tim Hooker of Springville, a former ELA teacher and longtime craft beer brewer, directs the brewing operation. The flagship location in Ellicottville will offer a variety of beers, from stouts to ales. Bursee said their most popular brew is the Last Minute IPA, which he describes as a juicy, New England style. Steelbound will also offer signature drinks made with their own simple syrups, making them truly one-of-a-kind. In addition to beverages, Steelbound will feature a

dinner menu. “Our chef is absolutely incredible,” said Bursee, noting he will even be making his own condiments for the dishes. Ingredients will be sourced locally and everything will be fresh. A Tuesday night buffet will be available, changing from week to week. To celebrate the opening of the restaurant, they will also be offering a special Mother’s Day buffet on Sunday, May 13 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. that includes unlimited soft drinks and a cash bar. Cost is $25 for adults and $16 for kids. Reservations are encouraged by calling (716) 803-2916. Bursee said Steelbound will employ about 30 people, 12 of them full-time. He repeatedly complimented his team and their dedication to
the business. “They work tirelessly,” he said. “It’s cool to see that passion.” As far as future plans go, Bursee hopes to build a large patio in front, overlooking Route 219. Since he grew up in Buffalo, he likes the idea of the patio looking out onto all the activity going on, instead of being behind the building. Bursee also plans to feature live music, and there is a large stage on the first floor of the restaurant to accommodate musicians. He also talked of possibly organizing tours in the future that involved other breweries/distilleries in the area. Bursee said there will be a grand opening celebration in the upcoming weeks.

All classes are $10 each unless otherwise noted by instructor.
By Alicia Dziak
For many, a sure sign of the warmer days to come is the season opening of many area parks. One of the region’s hidden gems is Griffis Sculpture Park, nestled in the hills of East Otto, a short drive off Route 219 between Springville and Ellicottville. Since the early 1960s, over 250 sculptures of Larry Griffis Jr. and other international artists have been residing in the woods and fields of the 450acre park, which is one of America’s oldest and largest sculpture parks. Add in miles of scenic hiking trails and the experience is one where art and nature collide.

The park is split into two sections, each with its own parking area. The Rohr Hill Road Site is characterized by towering sculptures set in fields and woods just off the road. The Mill Valley Road Site features miles of trails through a variety of terrain, perhaps most notably the semi-
steep climb to the area that includes the stage used for outdoor concerts in the park. Guests can spend an hour or an entire day exploring the park. Bring a picnic and some comfy shoes and get ready to get your creative journey started!

ECS NEWS Ellicottville Students Mind their Ps and Qs
(From left) Allison Calarco, Sammi Van Wicklin, Julianna Giannicchi, Megan Hartsell By Louisa Benatovich ECS Student Reporter
On Thursday, April 19, Ellicottville Central School’s ESPRA (Ellicottville Students Preserving the Reading of America) Club visited another acronymic organization. WNYBAC, or the Western New York Book Arts Center, is a group of craftsmen and artisans dedicated to the preservation and love of the art of book-making. Located on Washington St. in Buffalo, WNYBAC’s quaint storefront doesn’t even begin to reveal the magic going on inside. The smell is what hit us first: ink and old wood. The basement was full of old-fashioned printing presses, the kind where you painstakingly place each
letter of type and roll the paper through. Rosemary Williams, WNYBAC’s program director, explained every step in the printing process and taught us typesetter lingo. The little letter blocks are called sorts, and the big, organized boxes of them are called California job cases, though no one knew the history of the term. We learned the reason behind the saying “mind your Ps and Qs,” for those are the letters most confused by typesetters. ESPRA agreed that the saying should be changed to “mind your Bs, Ds, Ps, and Qs” because as we were challenged to sort the letters back into the job case, they all looked the same. After we became acquainted with the process,
it was finally time to use the printing press. “So many books, so little time”, a quote by Frank Zappa, had been set in the press prior to our arrival, and ESPRA chose a vibrant blue ink mixed with yellow to print onto the paper. In the process, we learned about pica, the printer’s measurement unit of choice. (It’s about 1/6 of an inch). As the ink mesmerizingly spread across the rollers, we took a look around the basement. Many posters and book pages were set up across the room. Some sorts were smaller than half my pinky nail! Ginna Hensel, ESPRA’S copresident loved learning about the printing process. “With all of the mainstream technology infiltrating our lives, a step back to observe
E’ville Tech Center Hosts ‘Class to Careers Day’
By Deb Everts
The Ellicottville Career and Technical Education Center on April 18 hosted Class to Careers Day with tours for eighth grade students during school hours. Later in the afternoon, an open house was held for students, parents and businesses. A business reception was held in the evening. Terry Fuller, workbased learning coordinator, works with the teachers, students and businesses setting up internships for students attending the tech center. He said a number of businesses were present in the classrooms during the student tours. “Each one of the instructors contacted a business to come into their classroom and do a presentation to the class and the eight graders,” he said. “So, when the eighth graders toured, there were stations set up in each classroom with a quick interactive activity of some type. The businesses were also available to talk to the eighth graders as well as our students.” Fuller said each eighth grade tour group had seven to eight students in it and they were allowed to spend 8 to 10 minutes in each class, where they could go and have a quick interaction and be able to ask questions of students, the teacher or the business before moving on to the next class. This gave them an overview of what each class is about. According to Fuller, this was a new event for the Ellicottville center, but the Belmont center hosted a similar event in February and Olean held one in March. He said it was the first time the parents, students and businesses have all come together for an event like this at Ellicottville. Fuller said the Class to Careers event came about
when the Olean Career and Technical Education Center partnered with the Olean Chamber of Commerce this year and invited them to have their monthly meeting at the Olean center, where they had tours and an open house. He said the Ellicottville and Belmont centers piggybacked off of that idea. “Through a faculty meeting, I had each one of the teachers select two businesses they wanted me to contact and invite to the Business After Hours Reception and the teachers contacted a business to come in during the day to be present in the classroom during the eighth grade tours,” he said. Fuller said the goal was to coordinate getting businesses into the center to see what it has to offer. He said the business reception gave the businesses the opportunity to collaborate with not only the teachers and administration, but to also answer the questions of parents and students. “This gives them the chance to take a look at what we have to offer, what the industries are looking for and to see we’re up to industry standard,” he said. “Later, during the reception, we discussed the internship program and process, and the possible opportunities in our region.” According to Fuller, the tech centers are doing their best to get out into the community and into the business community even more to promote the internships. They are expanding their connections with the business community to increase internship opportunities for the students, and it has been successful. “We’ve gotten more kids out on internships this year than we’ve had in the past. Hopefully, that will continue and be on the upswing,” he said.
Fuller said the internships benefit businesses as well. It’s a “win-win” situation and that’s kind of how he markets it to the businesses when he presents it to them. He said businesses have the opportunity to have a student come in and intern. If they like what they see and the student is learning, has the skills and the work ethic they’re looking for, then the business has a potential employee. The business is also gaining an intern or employee that has learned the latest technology and skills. “The student gets to go to a business where they think they’re interested in that career and they see whether they really like it, or not,” he said. “That can help steer them toward whatever they’re doing college-wise or career-wise.” Guidance Counselor Vince Oliverio said out of the center’s 10 component school districts, Ellicottville, Cattaraugus-Little Valley, Randolph and Franklinville central schools participated. He said a total of 200 eighth graders attended the event and had the opportunity to visit many of the classes offered at the center including Animal Science, Automotive Technology, Carpentry and Construction Trades, Collision Repair and Auto Body Technology, Cosmetology, Criminal Justice, Culinary Arts, Heavy Equipment Operations, Medical Assisting, Natural Resources, Power Equipment Technology, and Welding and Metal Fabrication. The center also offers a number of high-tech classes that can be seen in the course catalog. If anyone would like to know more about the programs and internships offered at the Ellicottville, Olean and Belmont career and technical education centers, they should call Fuller at 376-8346 or visit online at caboces.org
ESPRA Club members paid a visit to the Western New York Book Arts Center on Washington Street in Buffalo.
and preserve the love of books and bookmaking was the most refreshing thing I’ve done this year!” ESPRA didn’t stop there, however. We decided to get down to the nittygritty, expose the roots of bookmaking…literally. We learned how to make real paper. Janna WilloughbyLoehr, the artist behind Papercraft Miracles, is WNYBAC’s papermaking instructor. She showed us that the art of papercraft was a simple, soothing pastime, and even let us put our hands directly into her pulp bucket. The sensation can only be described as touching a cloud. We mixed glitter, ferns, and old paper scraps into the pulp, then strained and placed our very own custom sheets of beautiful paper onto felt.
Willoughby-Loehr then brought our paper back to her studio to press and dry them. ESPRA will be receiving our handmade paper shortly in the mail. ECS student Meganne Chapman was very taken with the papermaking experience. “The pulp was a weird soggy texture,” she said, “but the process of paper-making felt relaxing and therapeutic. I had such a fun time.” Sophomore Megan Hartsell loved the whole trip. “When can we go back?” she asked. Holly Richardson, the club’s advisor, was ecstatic with the success of the field trip. “WNYBAC’s dedication to the preservation of the written word is admirable,” the Ellicottville English
teacher said. “Using a 1930s printing press and creating handmade paper are experiences that don’t happen in a typical classroom. Field trips like these are invaluable in the education of a well-rounded student.” As we sat on the bus ride home, picking bits of dried pulp off our fingers and comparing souvenirs from the gift shop, Becky Nannen was thoughtful. “The love of books is not only about what is in them,” said the English teacher and avid bibliophile, “it’s about their history and physical qualities as well. Today we were able to celebrate all three of these when we visited the Western New York Book Arts Center.” The WNYBAC experience is a trip ESPRA will never forget.
Bowen Makes Third Straight NYS Class D 1st Team
Ellicottville senior center Elliot Bowen made the Class D All-New York State first team for the third consecutive year, the New York State Sportswriters Association announced Monday. This time, Bowen was joined on the first team by CCAA East II rival Sam Erickson, a senior forward at Franklinville. Both Bowen and Erickson made the Times Herald’s Big 30 first team and Buffalo News’ All-Western New York third team in recent weeks. The 6-foot-6 Bowen averaged 19.7 points per game, 12.6 rebounds and 2.7 blocks and 6-foot-5 Erickson
averaged 22.5 points, 11.5 boards and 6.5 assists. Also for Ellicottville, seniors Griffin Chudy (16.6 ppg) made the seventh team and Austin Grinols was an honorable mention. Chudy was also an All-WNY honorable mention. The NYSSWA has yet to announce small school girls basketball all-state teams. Franklinville sophomore Danielle Haskell (26.1 points per game) made the All-WNY first team. Her sister, senior Allyson Haskell, made the third team. Ellicottville junior Linnea Jimerson was an All-WNY honorable mention.

“Varina” by Charles Frasier
Her marriage prospects limited, teenage Varina Howell agrees to wed the much-older widower Jefferson Davis, with whom she expects the secure life of a Mississippi landowner. Davis instead pursues a career in politics and is eventually appointed president of the Confederacy, placing Varina at the white-hot center of one of the darkest moments in American history. The Confederacy falling, her marriage in tatters, and the country divided, Varina and her children escape Richmond and travel south on their own, now fugitives with “bounties on their heads, an entire nation in pursuit.” Intimate in its detailed observations of one woman’s tragic life and epic in its scope and power, Varina is a novel of an American war and its aftermath. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. It is also available as an audio book using our interlibrary loan program. Don’t forget, you can access over 15,300 eBooks and eAudiobooks using your library card!

Health & Fitness:
Why Weight Loss is So Much More Than Fitness & Food 1
Stop berating yourself. We all beat ourselves up from time to time. Whether it’s comparing yourself unfairly to someone else, blaming yourself for something you cannot control or just taking yourself too seriously, even the most confident of us fall off the loving-yourself wagon occasionally. But loving yourself as you are right now is essential to getting out of your own way. Find the right reason to lose weight. Sure, we all want to look good and fit in a certain pant size, but losing weight just for vanity’s sake leaves your resolve less than strong. Making change is hard, but connecting to the deeper, life-changing reasons why you want to lose the weight—more energy, better focus, ease of movement, improved health—is a far greater way to motivate yourself when the going gets tough. Focus on the positive. We think “diet” is a four-letter word because, to us, it’s all about what you can’t have. So instead of focusing on the deprivation, swap your thinking to all of the fabulous things you can enjoy. Living a healthy life is about eating delicious and fresh foods that fuel your body and moving your body in a way that you love every day. What’s not to love about that? Life is good—savor it.

When it comes to rebelling, you probably think of 16-year-olds or people covered in lots of tattoos who like to swear a lot. But over the last few years, I’ve learned that most of us don’t rebel against others as much as we rebel against ourselves. Think about it: how many times have you set out to accomplish a goal or task only to find yourself procrastinating or flatout sabotaging your own efforts? Started a weightloss plan on a Monday and are eating directly out of the ice-cream tub by Wednesday? Vowed to go to the gym every morning this week only to find yourself oversleeping? I see so many people who struggle with this day after day that I wanted to share just a few tips for better understanding—and overcoming—this selfdefeating weight-loss barrier.

Get honest with yourself. If you find yourself emotional eating or self-sabotaging, take a deep breathe and ask, “Whom am I really rebelling against?” Many times we choose unhealthy behaviors (almost unconsciously) in defiance of husbands, friends, family or co-workers in an attempt to gain control or have power. Or we are rebelling against ourselves because, deep down, we don’t feel like we’re worthy of the positive changes we’ve set forth to make. These issues could be left over from childhood or may show a lack of confidence in ourselves or an inability to emotionally express ourselves. No matter the reason, do some soul-searching to see what’s affecting you. Awareness—and loving understanding—is the only way to overcome it. Don’t treat it like a fairy tale. When it comes to being healthy, there is no “happily ever after.” Living a healthy life is a balance, and it’s about consistency over time— every day for the rest of your life. So don’t think of your weight-loss plan as something that ends on a certain day or at a certain goal. Instead, view it as a journey where you get to keep learning, growing and changing!

activities (for an additional charge) when you register. “I want women to leave this weekend with memories that will be remembered forever, because of the experience as a whole, and want to create new ones year after year,” Pump noted. “I want this to be marked on their calendars as soon as they return home for the following year.” For more info, or to sign up, visit www. ellicottvilleny.com. Women in the Outdoors June 9 On Saturday, June 9, experience the great outdoors with Women in the Outdoors, presented by Springville Strutters Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation. These events are held across the country using experts and trained professionals to teach outdoor skills to women and girls over 12 years of age in a non-competitive environment. This will be the 19th year the event has been held, and this year’s courses include some new offerings, such as Canoeing and Camping, Owl Painted Tote Bag and Food Prep and Fire. Other courses include Tomahawk Throwing, Let’s Talk Turkey, Archery, Emergency Prep, Walk in the Woods and Self Defense. Registration is required, and the $65 fee includes all equipment use, course instruction (four classes), continental breakfast, hot buffet lunch, great t-shirt, NWTF membership and a one year magazine subscription. This is a great opportunity to learn something new with friends and family, and is geared toward females ages 12-100. “Each individual helps the others succeed,” Estelle Greene, one of the event organizers, said of the attendees. The event will be held at the Erie County Conservation Society, located at 13319 Miller Avenue in Chaffee. For more information, and to sign up, contact Estelle Greene (716) 941-6775 or Becky Werchowski (716) 942-6858, or like them on Facebook (www.facebook.com/Womenin-the-Outdoors-Springville-Strutters). Women’s Day Retreat June 16 On Saturday, June 16, enjoy the Women’s Day Retreat, organized by Jessica Raymond, owner of rSpace yoga studio
in Colden, N.Y., and held at the Pioneer Camp and Retreat Center, located at 9324 Lake Shore Rd. in Angola. Raymond explained that, “The Retreat Day is intended to renew, restore, and empower women to feel and find their best self with the support of friends, family and community.” The day is divided up into morning and afternoon sessions. The morning one has seven classes to choose from, with the afternoon one offering six. Classes include Power Yoga, POUND Fitness, Restorative Flow with Live Music, Partner Synergy Yoga, Belly Dancing for Beginners, BUTI Yoga, African Dance Class, Turbo Kick LIVE, Vinyasa Flow, SUP Yoga and Yin Yoga. There will also be discussion groups on various subjects like Silencing Your Inner Critic and Nutrition 101. In addition, the Holistic Healing Shelter, open all day, will feature chair massages, reflexology, EFT Tapping, Reiki and Chakra Clearing, and a Beauty Bar will give women the option of getting their hair braided or styled, apply inspiring temporary tattoos, and meet with an esthetician. “We truly believe the message is beneficial for all!” Raymond said. “With the variety of classes there is something for every fitness level from beginner to advanced, from yogi to fitness gurus.” There is a range of ticket prices depending on the experience you are looking to achieve. There are a limited amount of VIP tickets for $100 being sold, which include all day access to classes, a morning mimosa, a swag bag filled with goodies, lunch and cocktail, first sign up for SUP yoga, and two holistic healing services for free. These tickets are $100. There is also a $75 option that includes full day access to all classes and lunch, and a $55 option for a half day of classes (choose either morning or afternoon). Visit the event Facebook page for more info and to purchase (www.facebook.com/ events/2139554159402943/). Ladies, what are you waiting for? You deserve some “me time” and this retreat is just the place to find it! “We are so honored to make this happen and to give a platform for such powerful healing to happen,” Raymond said.
Continued from front page He also reported to the board that he is looking into a service contract with UNS for preventive maintenance and remote computer support for the school’s boilers, adding he will also ask the Building and Grounds Department about a contract and what part of the job can be performed in-house. Miller then updated the board on the federal requirements on accurate expenditure reports that must be submitted in December and will be reviewed by a local comptroller. “We have to be more careful with budget estimation and protection,” Miller said. Elementary Principal Connie Poulin reported first graders’ April 20 field trip to the Buffalo Botanical Gardens was aligned to The Living Environment performance indicator with the state Science Standards for Elementary Level Students. The trip was made possible by the Cassetta fund and that source will also pay for the second- and thirdgraders’ May 8 trip to see “How I Became A Pirate” at Shea’s Buffalo Performing Arts Center Poulin also commented that the district sends one teacher for every 25 exams in the Grade 3 ELA regional scoring process that began Tuesday at Good Times in Olean, organized by the CABOCES ISS Department. In the meantime, the district is fine-tuning ELA testing accommodations required by a variety of students, with State Math Testing scheduled May 1 and 2, she said. Poulin also reported on PTO events, including the April 13 Dime Carnival and the upcoming Book Fair on Thursday and Friday. “The Climb” PowerPoint presentation delivered the message “you are safe, you are known… and you

Middle School/High School Principal Erich Ploetz said his presentation “lives on with the Student Council,” where a Random Acts of Kindness Week is planned as an advertised challenge to make a positive impact on the school and the outside community. He invited ideas for future challenges that can be passed to the Student Council. A research-based assembly, attended by the sixth grade and two earth science classes, on “Glaciers in Greenland, an overview of Global Warming and Deglaciation” was provided April 18 by Carolyn Roberts, Ploetz reported. Roberts is studying for her Ph.D. at the University at Buffalo. Ploetz also noted the district has been assigned to take the Global Geography and History Transition Regents Field Test, as well as the computer-based Grade 8 ELA Field Test, and the Geometry Field Test, consisting of practice questions for future testing. Also coming up are the Standard 3-8 State Math Assessments, the Grade 4 and 8 Science Performance and Written Tests, and the Regents Exams.

David Halloran Turkey Calls Just in Time for the Spring Hunt
By Carlee Frank
Chances are you’ve met many people with the names Jake, Jenny and Tom –but have you ever met a turkey? Yes, a jake, jenny and tom are all different categories of turkey. Jakes and jennies are young male and female turkeys, and a tom is a mature male turkey. According to the National Wild Turkey Federation, today, there are roughly 6 million of these wild birds in the United States, but research shows that the turkey population has dropped by 700,000 in the last five years due to suboptimal habitat and over population. Hunters and conservation organizations work tirelessly each year to maintain the health and population of this species. David Halloran, Ellicottville-native and sportsman, founded David Halloran Turkey Calls to aid in the sanctioned harvesting of wild turkeys. He makes box calls, pot calls, mouth calls and crow calls by the thousands each year in his shop based locally in Ellicottville. However, he said it all began at the age of 12. “There was a neighbor up the road that dropped me off a turkey hunting magazine and actually took me for my first turkey hunt,” Halloran said. “He gave me a turkey call and I said, ‘Oh, you know, I can do that’. I was always crafty as a kid and we had a shop at the house so it just kept going after that.” By the time he was in high school, Halloran was selling turkey calls nationally and receiving national acclaim. He won the Best of Show Pot Call for his crystal pot call at the 2005 Midwest Call Competition, and at the 2008 National Wild Turkey Federation Grand National Competition –which holds
55,000 people –he won first place in the slate call division. In 2011, Halloran won the DD Adams award for best sounding pot call in the nation with his Crystal Mistress call. Recently, he was even featured in a Field & Stream magazine article titled The Best New Turkey Hunting Gear for 2018 for his new Ebony and Walnut Checkered Box call. As his business grows, he has also received offers from outdoor stores such as Cabela’s and Bass Pro, which until this point have not been accepted. “I don’t dare get into too many big box stores, because even if I’m making them all, the perception is that I’m not,” Halloran said. Each call is made out of various types of wood to both produce the best sound and nicest design. He uses a lot of local cedar wood, as well as exotic wood from South America, Africa and Indonesia. Purple heart, as the name suggests, has a beautiful purple color, ebony wood is a rich black and blood wood from South America is a deep red color. Since each type of wood makes a different sound, Halloran laughed that there was a lot of trial and error and many duds before he got the desired sound for each call. Turkeys make many vocalizations –such as a purr, cluck, yelp and gobble –so each David Halloran Turkey Call is designed to produce a large number of these noises. Some calls are struck by hand, some are blown into and others are manipulated by hand. Halloran said they’re like an instrument that hunters need to learn. He noted that nearly 80 percent of his clientele is from South Carolina to Florida and out to Mississippi and Alabama, while only 2 percent or so
is from New York. “Turkey hunting down south is like religion. Up here people turkey hunt but it’s not as serious,” an Halloran said. He said he’s been fortunate enough to make connections with southern congressmen such as Austin Scott of Georgia and representatives from Florida and Alabama. He said he recently made 75 calls for Representative Scott and Representative Palmer (AL) branded with their name and the US House of Representatives seal. At a recent outdoor show in Nashville, the US Secretary of Agriculture, Sonny Perdue, found David’s booth and let him know how much he enjoyed using his calls,
which Secretary Perdue received as a gift from Representative Scott. Halloran travels frequently, and said one of his favorite parts of the business is meeting new people and visiting new places. In fact, Halloran said he luckily met his wife Ashley in high school while at a NWTF show in Nashville. He said she has helped tremendously with David Halloran Turkey Calls and often times stays up until 1 a.m. processing and shipping orders. In New York State, the spring turkey hunting season begins May 1. If you’re a turkey hunter, it’s worth a visit to www. davidhalloranturkeycalls. com to check out the selection before you head out!

Soil composition Many gardeners prefer growing a variety of plants in their gardens. Such an approach requires taking inventory of the type of soil in one’s garden and making the necessary modifications so that the types of vegetables, herbs, shrubs, or flowers that will be planted can grow in strongly. In fact, according to the plant company Proven Winners, the most important step to
Cultivation Cultivating the soil can involve different steps. Removal of weeds, errant rocks, roots, and other items will help prepare the soil. Mother Earth News suggests working on garden soil when the soil is damp but never wet; otherwise, garden soil can become messy and clumpy. Use a digging fork or shovel to lightly turn the soil when it’s mostly dry. Gentle tillings also can open up the soil to incorporate the nutritional amendments

and relieve compaction that likely occurred from freezing temps and snow pressure. Tilling also helps with drainage and oxygen delivery to roots. The DIY Network suggests turning over soil at a depth of 12 inches to work the soil — about the length of a shovel spade. However, the resource Earth Easy says that existing garden beds have a complex soil ecosystem and simply top-dressing with compost or manure can be enough preparation for planting. Gardeners can experiment with the methods that work best for their gardens.
developing good roots is preparing the soil. Take a sample of the soil and examine it to see what is present. If the soil is too full of clay, too sandy, too dense, or too loose, that can lead to problems where plants cannot grow in strong. Work with a garden center to add the right soil amendments to make a rich soil. This may include organic compost or manure, which will also add nutrients to the soil.

PREPARING GARDEN BEDS FOR SPRING & BEYOND
Gardening enthusiasts may have been thinking about their landscape plans throughout the winter, eager to once again get their hands dirty with soil. Whether a home gardener is making preparations for edible crops or beautiful flowers, he or she must take time to make the soil amenable to planting. To establish hearty, durable plants, gardeners can focus on three main areas: addressing soil composition, cultivating and adding nutrients.

Nutrition Testing the pH and the levels of certain nutrients in the soil, namely nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, will give gardeners an idea of other soil additions that may be needed. Soils with a pH below 6.2 often can benefit from the addition of lime several weeks before planting. Soil tests will determine just how much fertilizer to add to the soil. Complete fertilizers will have equal amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Individual fertilizers can amend the soil with only these nutritional elements that are needed. Top-dressing empty beds with a layer of mulch or compost can prevent weed growth and preserve moisture until it is time to plant. If existing shrubs or plants are in garden beds, use more care so as not to disturb roots or dig too deeply. Preparing garden beds takes some effort initially, but can be well worth the work when plants flourish throughout the growing season.

Arbor Day Celebration is April 27 at Nannen Arboretum By Pat Kerl Nannen Arboretum
The Nannen Arboretum is inviting the public to its Arbor Day celebration at 11 a.m. Friday, April 27 in the town center building. Town of Ellicottville Supervisor Matt McAndrew and the Village of Ellicottville Mayor John Burrell will make a proclamation declaring April 27 as Arbor Day in Ellicottville. An American larch tree, larix laricina, also known as Tamarack, will be planted by the Nannen Arboretum Society and the Tree City USA flag will be raised. Guests will also hear from New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) representative Dave Paradowski regarding diseases and pests of trees. Refreshments will be available. Arbor Day is an annual observance that celebrates the role of trees in our lives and promotes tree
planting and care. The idea for Arbor Day in the United States originated in Nebraska City, Neb. J. Sterling Morton and his wife, Caroline, were lovers of nature and the home they established in Nebraska was quickly planted with trees, shrubs and flowers. In 1872, the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture accepted a resolution by Morton to “set aside one day to plant trees, both forest and fruit.” The Board declared April 10, 1872, Arbor Day offering prizes to the counties and individuals that properly planted the largest number of trees on that day. More than one million trees were planted in Nebraska on the first Arbor Day. J. Sterling Morton became known as the “Founder of Arbor Day.” Shortly after this 1872 observance, other states passed legislation to observe Arbor Day each year with appropriate ceremonies. New York
State celebrates Arbor Day on the last Friday in April, the 27th this year. Planting trees is an act of kindness and optimism. The trees we plant clean the air, beautify our neighborhoods, provide homes for wildlife, conserve energy and topsoil, and help keep the atmosphere in balance. Life is just better when we live among the trees. The Nannen Arboretum Society is a not-forprofit, volunteer-based organization dedicated to providing home garden and natural resource education and an opportunity for nature appreciation and leisure. Society membership is open to anyone who desires to support the arboretum’s mission. Contact them at info@nannenarboretum. org to join, as the society welcomes new members.
