Every year, there comes a special time in the season when those who really take advantage of all Holiday Valley has to offer can enjoy both activities — the end of the ski season and the beginning of the golf season. When these two seasons collide, usually around the first or second week of April, there’s the chance to take that last run of the season, along with the first swing. Thanks to winter lingering around, that special time may have to wait another week as Holiday Valley plans to potentially add a bonus weekend to the skiing season. “We’re definitely open through Sunday, April 8,” said Jane Eshbaugh, marketing director at Holiday Valley “At this time, we’re planning to have a bonus weekend, April 14-15, with the Yodeler lift running — weather and skier traffic permitting.” Holiday Valley is advising those interested

Ellicottville’s Cupcaked Racich Retires as HV’s Lounsbury Director Meets Springville

By Alicia Dziak

It’s hard to believe that Cupcaked, at 22 Monroe St. in Ellicottville, just celebrated its six-month anniversary. The bakery, which boasts a selection of brownies, cookies, cake pops and, of course, cupcakes, (many of which come in gluten free options!) has quickly become a staple in the village scene. Just two weeks ago, Cupcaked owner Annie Coe took on a new challenge when she began partnering with 49 Coffee House and Eatery in Springville. The new coffee house, named after its location at 49 East Main See Cupcaked page 6

Upcoming Events at Allegany State Park

By Sam Wilson

Looking at Evan Palmatier, you might assume he’s just like any other high school student on the ﬁelds or court for Ellicottville Central School’s sports teams. In many ways, he is, playing with his friends and notably memorizing handshakes or greetings with his basketball teammates during starting introductions. But for Palmatier, a senior playing football, basketball and baseball at ECS, his preparation isn’t quite like his peers’. For every sporting event, he wears a special “hex pad”

After nearly 20 years as director of the Lounsbury Adaptive Ski Program, Mary Ellen Racich will retire in May and pass the torch to assistant director Bill Bredenberg. Racich said she has led the Lounsbury program for so many years because it has been extremely rewarding to see disabled people able to do what others do recreationally. She said it makes their lives more fulﬁlling and when she sees that, it makes her own life more fulﬁlling. She said the program’s volunteer instructors are

It’s all about color! Whether you’re moving into a new home and repainting everything or just sprucing up a room or two in your well-loved abode this spring, chances are, the biggest challenge is settling on a color scheme. According to Sherwin-Williams, “Color sets the mood for a home’s interior and conveys how you want the space to feel.” Eager as you may be to get started, take some time to explore paint color cards and samples, and think about these trending colors for 2018! Not only can color deﬁne a space, but it can also deﬁne an era. Nothing evokes homes of the 1970s like Harvest Gold and Avocado Green—once the trendiest choices in color schemes and even appliances. You can certainly embrace this year’s trends without ending up with a space that looks “dated.” The key, according to home design blog “The Spruce,” is to incorporate elements of this year’s trending colors throughout your home, not repainting each space entirely. This year’s top interior color is sage green. If this sounds familiar, it should! Sage green was popular about 15 years ago, but this year’s shade is a bit different. According to Behr, popular shades of sage are taking on a blue tinge, meant to evoke tranquility. Behr’s 2018 Color of the Year has been dubbed “In the Moment,” a tranquil spruce blue inspired by nature. The universal appeal of this color makes it great for a variety of styles because, according to Behr, “It also

crosses multiple design styles, ideal for working with traditional, modern, coastal and global décor.” So how can you incorporate this beautiful green in your home? First, consider the colors that make up this tranquil hue. Behr combined blue, gray, and green to create their signature shade, which means that it will pair well with these colors that you may already have in your home. If you were a fond follower of the gray trend of recent years, fear not! A sage green comforter pairs well with light gray walls, upping the tranquility factor of a peaceful space. The Spruce recommends painting accent walls to add a pop of color, without saturating the space. For example, choose a wall of your living room to celebrate the new shade of green for 2018! A wall with a ﬁreplace is already a great focal point—consider choosing this wall for your new accent color, which can easily be changed in a few years as the trends (and your tastes) evolve. There are many reasons why you may be hesitant to commit to a color for the whole space. Renters, those planning to move soon, or the indecisive can incorporate trending colors in small ways, too. In addition to sage green, deep onyx (black with a deep, purple hue) is also trending for 2018. Certainly, you may be quite hesitant to paint an entire room or even one wall black. If that’s the case, purchase a quart of ﬂat paint in the shade of your choice,

and paint one or two pieces of furniture. A dresser, coffee table, pair of end tables or even a mirror are accent pieces that can be the perfect palette for accent colors. No matter how big or small your space is, the right color can change the energy, brighten the mood, and inspire its inhabitants. Before you commit to a large paint purchase, bring several paint color cards home and pin them to the wall(s) of your choice to see what looks best and what the family thinks! When you’ve narrowed it down to a few choices, pick up some foam core board and purchase sample containers of paint in your top three color choices. Cut the foam core board into three pieces, each about the size of a sheet of paper. Paint each piece with one color each. Over the course of the week, pin each of these large samples to the wall of your choice. Observe how each color looks at different times of day when exposed to varying amounts of sunlight and interior lighting. Although this may seem fussy and time consuming, it is a much more efﬁcient process in the long run. You can get a much truer sense of how a color will look before purchasing gallons of nonreturnable mixed paint!

I Love My Park Day is a statewide event, organized by Parks & Trails New York (PTNY) in partnership with the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) and local Friends groups, to celebrate and enhance New York’s parks and historic sites and bring visibility to the entire park system and its needs. This annual event, held the first Saturday in May, attracts thousands of volunteers from across the state to participate in cleanup, improvement, and beautification events at New York State parks and historic sites. Join us to celebrate New York’s park system by cleaning up park lands and beaches, planting trees and gardens, restoring trail and wildlife habitat, removing invasive species, and working on various site improvement

projects. Last year over 8,000 volunteers took part in more than 250 projects at 125 state parks, historic sites and public lands throughout the New York. Allegany State Park is once again taking part in the event, with the Friends group leading several projects. Past projects have included clearing brush, picking up garbage, painting cabins and trail maintenance. Thanks to one of the Friends’ members, a few sponsors and the Friends of Allegany State Park, a free hot dog lunch will be served after the event at the Quaker picnic shelter. There will also be a few prizes to give away thanks to our sponsors. Registration is now open at www.ptny.org. Allegany Adventure Run Also happening on Saturday, May 5 is the 2018 Allegany Adventure Run, which kicks off the trail running season in the park. The Summit Ski Area in Red House is home base for this annual

wild and challenging experience covering one of three course distances— 6K, 13K and 27K. The 6K is the perfect option for experiencing a walking or running course close to the starting area on Sweetwater trail. A few climbs keep the lungs and legs working and will surely give any entrant a good nights sleep after the race. The 13K course includes Sweetwater, Christian Hollow and Leonard Run. Rarely ﬂat, this course is very popular and features many rolling climbs and descents non-technical in nature for experienced trail runners or those with a decent early season base. The 27K uses the same trails as the 13K for the ﬁrst half, but then turns down Ridge Run and includes Thunder Run, a 3-mile section of technical single-track. Pre-register at www. heartrateup.com by April 28 to guarantee a t-shirt. We cannot guarantee raceday shirts to those who register after this date.

in skiing into mid-April to check the resort’s website or call up the snow phone at (716) 699-2644 for updates throughout the week. And what about golf? Eshbaugh said a few holes are expected to open late next week, on April 14 or 15. The range may be open by this weekend, she said, again weather permitting. Most skiers and snowboarders can agree that it’s been one heck of a season. While there were a

couple thaws, for the most part the snow stuck around and the spring skiing has been some of the best in recent years. Holiday Valley visitors enjoyed $3.3 million in upgrades to the resort, including a new Cindy’s Warming Hut and Mistletoe Leanto, two new connector trails off the bottom of Northwind, a new shaped snow learning terrain and numerous additions to their automated snowmaking system, among others.

The 18-hole par 70 “Double Black Diamond” golf course is challenging and well maintained with breathtaking scenery from every hole. Their website describes the course as “a pleasing blend of a mountain and ﬂat terrain” with the relatively level front nine playing longer and built around a series of ponds and bunkers, while the back nine winds its way through the base of the mountains and provides spectacular views.

soccer in a little village in New York. Along the way, meanwhile, he makes a nice living as a petty thief, gets arrested for murder by Interpol, annoys a belly dancer, dodges bullets on a train, goes AWOL, gets court-martialed (quite unrelatedly), encounters a spot of trouble at knifepoint in London, runs perilously late in the South African bush, makes a grand debut as union man, slightly embarrasses James Bond, and disagrees with a Parisian swan over the matter of a baguette.” On Friday, April 6, the University Express/SCENe Speaker Series will feature Holland talking about his book at the Concord Senior Center at 1 p.m. The event will also include door prizes and refreshments. The following day, Holland will be inducted into the Cattaraugus County Sports Hall of Fame. The 16th annual banquet will be held at 6 p.m. at the Little Valley American Legion. Holland will be recognized

for his accomplishments as a soccer official, and he says he is the oldest soccer official in all of New York State, and possibly in the entire U.S. And just how old is the state’s oldest soccer ref? On Sunday, April 8, he will turn 84 years young. Holland, who said he officiated six games a week last year, is clearly proud of this achievement and what it means, saying he has always been one to get out of the house and keep busy, not letting his age define him. “I am old, but I don’t feel old,” he said. Being the No. 1 oldest soccer official in the state recently led Holland to reflect on his life. He said his wife was number one at many things; his son, Wally Jr. was number one after he won the New York state spelling bee in the early 1990s; and his other son, Felipe, was valedictorian of his high school class at Ellicottville Central. Holland is proud that after only four years of schooling

Last season, new fountains were installed, and new golf carts were purchased for guests to use.

Wally Holland: A Book Presentation, a Hall of Fame Induction and a Birthday All in One Weekend

Wally Holland is well known in both Ellicottville and Springville. He’s lived in Ellicottville for nearly three decades and has ties to Springville, where he currently spends several days a week working out at the Spring Creek Athletic Club. Holland also said his late wife, Kathleen, was a world languages teacher at Springville-Grifﬁth Institute. Holland is the type of person everyone should talk to at least once. He’s full of opinions, humor and great stories. So many stories, in fact, that he’s spent the last several years writing them all down for his new book, titled “Dear God, What’s on the Second Floor?” The synopsis goes something like this: “An English boy survives one war, volunteers for another, learns a trade, mixes some drinks, bets on some horses, goes to sea, takes to the air, marries an American, starts a business, raises two sons, and ends up refereeing

Wally Holland, the oldest soccer ofﬁcial in New York State, holds up a “red card” which ejects a player from a game, although he says he’s only handed out one of them during his entire refﬁng career.

ECS NEWS Palmatier shirt designed with padding to protect his abdomen. In football, he’d add on a ﬂak jacket under his shoulder pads for more support. These safety precautions, in addition to his daily medication, make it possible for Palmatier to play sports with his friends and classmates despite a rare genetic liver disease called PFIC 3 — Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis, form 3 — he’s lived with since a diagnosis at age 2. His parents, Todd and Shannon, detailed Evan’s perseverance in a letter shared with the Salamanca Press and posted on social media at the time after his Senior Night basketball game. Their youngest son, Camden, also has PFIC. “Early on, his prognosis was not good,” they wrote of Evan. “It was feared that he would need a life-saving transplant at 2 years old. After visiting a leading pediatric liver specialist in Cincinnati, he was put on trial medication. It has kept Evan’s liver from completely shutting down, and to this day, he has not had to have a transplant. Unfortunately, this rare disease is progressive and has no cure, so the prognosis for patients with PFIC is that they will one day require a liver transplant.” His parents said the medicine “deals with excessive itching due to the build-up of toxins in his body that his liver can’t

process correctly, has both an enlarged spleen and liver, and experiences digestive issues. He also has to be very careful when he gets the average cold and/or flu, as his immune system is weakened due to this disease.” As a result, he often feels fatigued due to lack of sleep. “Sometimes there’s nights where I don’t sleep or it might take me a little longer to fall asleep,” Evan said. “During the day, I get a lot more tired than other people usually are. I get a lot more drowsy, like you don’t have a lot of energy. It’s sort of hard ... I have to work a lot harder to keep myself going because I just don’t have a lot of energy like other people do.” What does Evan do when he wakes up and can’t find the energy to start the day? “I just try to tell myself you’ve got to get up, there’s no way of getting out of it,” he said. “You’ve just got to do what I have to do and try to get through my day and work on getting through my day. I have to think about that and think about the positive things that I can do after I get up and go to school, and do all that other stuff.” Doctors cautioned that sports, particularly football, could cause harm to his enlarged kidney and liver. But the family supported Evan playing sports he loved with his friends. “I really do it because when my parents were told when they first found out that I’m not going to be able

to play any contact sports, I’m not going to be able to be very active,” he said. “I feel like I’ve overcome everything they told me that I wasn’t going to be able to do, so I do feel like in the big picture I could be an inspiration for a lot of kids that have this.” His parents describe his attitude toward the disease a “quiet grace.” He’s also earned respect from his coaches. “He’s not one to come up and use it as an excuse,” ECS boys basketball coach Dave McCann said. “He battles through it and he works hard every day, through good times and bad. He’s been reliable, he’s been consistent in terms of being in attendance and giving us everything he’s got.” Communication has helped make sure he’s ready for game nights. McCann said he checks with Evan’s dad to know the signs on his day-to-day health. “I’ve known Evan since I had him as a student ﬁrst in middle school and moving on up through the program,” McCann said “It’s something we’re aware of and it’s something he deals with every day. You can tell some days it has more of an effect on him than others, but to his credit, he’s still there and works hard and works through it. I’ve got a lot of respect for that.” (Salamanca Press sports editor Sam Wilson may be contacted at swilson@ oleantimesherald.com)

Racich Retires Continued from front page

the other reason she has been with the program so long. She said it’s been wonderful to surround herself with so many giving and caring people who will do things for others and not expect anything in return. “They do it because it comes from their heart, and many have been in the program almost as long as I have,” she said. Racich said Holiday Valley has been tremendously supportive and it’s a very special place to work. She said the skiers out on the slopes have been wonderful as well. In all her years of instructing and being out on the slopes with disabled people, she has never heard a negative word from anyone who was out there skiing — even when they had to wait in the lift lines for them to get on the chairlift. “It makes your heart feel good to know there are not only great instructors out there, but also great skiers out there who are very caring and patient,” she said. Racich said her husband, Ed, has been an instructor with the program for about 15 years but he is also retiring from the Lounsbury program. She said it’s time for them to move on to spend more time skiing with their grandchildren, their son and his wife. Bredenberg, who lives in Hamburg, said under Racich’s leadership, the program has grown to over 40 volunteer instructors who are specially trained in adaptive ski teaching methods. Over half are certiﬁed by the Professional Ski Instructors of America (PSIA). “I have worked with Mary Ellen in the Lounsbury program for over 15 years and I hope to continue working with

Holiday Valley in bringing the best experience to people with disabilities,” he said. “Management at Holiday Valley has been great in helping to bring excellent training to our staff and we are looking to expand the opportunities that we can offer to our population.” Instructor Richelle Dube said the instructors are all sad to see her retire, but happy for her to venture out and take the next step in her life. She said throughout the years, Racich has provided encouragement and guidance to all the volunteers from pursuing their Adaptive Certification through PSIA to understanding the many disabilities. As a special education teacher for many years, her insight and knowledge has been invaluable to them all. “Mary Ellen has been a driving force in the success of the Lounsbury program. She has dedicated many years to the program, first as an instructor and then stepping in to take over as director for 17 years,” she said. “During that time, the program has grown in many ways, including an increase in the number of students and groups it accommodates each year to the number of volunteer instructors that are now on staff.” Dube said, in all those years, Racich has never let her dedication waiver from the true mission of the program — helping those with disabilities experience the exhilaration of skiing while having fun. “The next director will have some pretty big shoes to fill, but I have no doubt that Bill Bredenberg will do so in his own style,” she said. “Mary Ellen will be missed by many — our students and the parents,

veterans and so many other people behind the scenes, but it is time for her to spend more time with her family and get out there and ski.” Racich started out as a volunteer instructor nearly 30 years ago and has been the program’s director for the past 17 years. She lives in the Cleveland, Ohio area eight months out of the year and in Ellicottville the other four, during the winter months. When she began volunteering with the Lounsbury program, she was a school teacher of special needs students and worked with kindergarten through third grade students for 33 years. Then she worked with 16- to 22-year-olds for nine years before retiring in 2013. Bredenberg said Racich’s experience as a special education teacher helped make her especially qualified to lead the program. Racich said the volunteer instructors work with people of all disabilities and ages, ranging from five and up. The program serves between 200 and 250 clients each season that come from all over including Ohio, Canada, Pennsylvania, New York and Tennessee. LASP is a notfor-profit, 501(c)3 organization funded by private donations, service organizations and their annual major fundraiser, the Penguin Paddle, hosted by Holiday Valley each February. The Lounsbury Adaptive Ski Program is based at the Sugar Plum Lodge, next to the Tannenbaum Lodge, at Holiday Valley.

Spring Break: An Oasis for ECS Students By Abby Sonnenberg ECS Student Reporter

As the snow outside gives way to dripping icicles and growing mud patches, spring break is here in full force for the students of Ellicottville Central. It carries with it a sense of excitement and relaxation, followed closely by the impending doom signaled by the end of the third marking period. Some students are elated at the idea of ﬁnally getting away from their own small-town lives. As is classic spring break tradition, a few left the school environment early to embark on adventures of their own, choosing to venture down south to a more luxurious beach. Others are determined to get to their jobs more often this week, excited by the idea of having a little more cash to line their pockets. And then, of course, there are students like myself. Teachers excited to ﬁnally have a week without grading papers ask where these particular students are going for break, and the answer is always “home” or “bed.” The idea of even a week of relaxation is exciting enough to some of us that it becomes the highlight of our break. Meganne Chapman, a junior at ECS, puts this widespread feeling into an incredibly profound statement: “I am so excited to sleep in and relax.” For others, spring break is the time to get things done. For the juniors at

ECS, this is prime collegehunting time. After last week’s college fair, this week has the potential to be 10 days full of follow-ups and planning for the future. Ginna Hensel, one such junior, echoes these feelings almost exactly: “Spring break! The perfect time to visit colleges.” This is one of the times during the school year that has a special effect on the students of Ellicottville Central. “Of all the breaks, spring break is my favorite,” said Louisa Benatovich, a junior. “After weeks of SATs, deadline stress, and the general difficulty of refraining from screaming at all times, this 10-day oasis feels well-deserved. It also signifies that the end of the year is coming and soccer season is just about to start. Neither of which I’m ready for.” Spring break is the last major break in the Ellicottville Central school year. It signifies the oncoming terror of finals week, though people tend to overlook this detail in favor of the idea that this week simply acts as a prelude to the widelyworshipped summer break. After summer break, of course, brings the new school year. While it may seem eons away, some students already have a list of things to look forward to. The seniors of this school year officially embark on their journey of life next year. The eighth graders venture fully into the high school wing for

their last four years of ECS education, and the fifth graders get to step up into the middle school wing. There is buzz already among the fifth graders, fueled by the new clubs alone. “It’s weird that next year I’ll be going into middle school because it feels like I just started fifth grade,” said Sophia Sundeen, one such fifth grader. “I’m really excited to try drama club next year!” There seems to be no sour feelings about break of what it has to bring. The students of Ellicottville Central are ready for a week of relaxation and aren’t afraid to show it. The last day before our week-long salvation seems even to have lifted the teachers’ spirits. Mrs. Edwards, a teacher at ECS, said, “Spring break is a restorative time for my family where we try to disconnect from our busy life and just enjoy each other’s company. It helps springboard us into the final part of the school year so that we can finish strong. The holidays and change of season at this time of year are very symbolic of new life… even though, let’s face it, it is usually still snowing when we return, we can see warmth in the near future!” It’s easy to see that spring break has been long-awaited in the eyes of almost every – if not every – student and teacher at ECS. All that’s left to do now is take advantage of it.

Cupcaked

St. in Springville, features a variety of coffee and tea drinks, as well as Coe’s delightful baked goods. “So far, it’s going way better than expected,” Coe said, noting that she has made about six deliveries to Springville so far, with about 13 dozen items in each delivery. Products include gluten free brownies, cake pops, customized buttermilk “49” cookies, two different cupcakes each week, and blueberry lemon and orange cranberry scones, which Coe said are the most popular items so far. While the products are similar to those sold in Ellicottville, Coe noted that the cupcakes going to Springville are a bit more elegantly decorated due to the lower volume of them, although they are moving to a similar style of decorating for the Ellicottville products in the near future. The 49 Coffee House building was purchased in late 2016 by Greg Beatty, his cousin, Kevin Buncy, and Kevin’s wife, Lindsay, all Springville natives. The new restaurant and village hangout is a result of hard work and determination after months of renovations and a vision. “Lindsay is a coffee fanatic and liked the idea of a coffee shop,” said Kevin of their decision to open a business in Springville. He said, and Beatty agreed, that there was never a question of whether they would end up in Springville after graduating from high school. “There’s so much potential here,” Kevin said of being in downtown Springville. The trio began major renovations on the building and, in addition to the coffee house, luxury apartments are planned for the second ﬂoor, which Beatty and Buncy hope will be completed by summer. Kevin explained that when the trio began looking for local bakers to partner with, Lindsay reached out to Coe. “She was super friendly

Continued from front page

and interested in working with us,” Kevin said. Coe is not the only local vendor the 49 Coffee staff will be working with. Once their full food menu is available, which Beatty and Buncy said will be soon, they will be working with local barbecue legend Jake Cranston of Jake and the Fatman, who will supply the pulled pork for a specialty sandwich that includes pork with Jake’s signature BBQ sauce, topped with housemade mac and cheese and pickles on sourdough bread. Other mouth-watering sandwich selections include three paninis made with wafﬂes instead of bread — Buffalo chicken, blueberry and BLT with pesto. “All three are incredible,” Kevin said. The syrup for the sweet paninis will soon be supplied by Jake Miller, who owns Jake’s Greenhouse in East Concord. The syrup will also be incorporated into other food items such as maple coleslaw. Of course, a coffee house is known for its beverages, and 49 Coffee takes pride in using locally roasted coffee beans sourced from Golden Cup Coffee in Buffalo. Kevin explained that their house blend, called 1808 The Settler, is named after the ﬁrst permanent settler in Springville. The medium-roast coffee is an Ethiopian/Honduras mix, and is available in bags to take home as well. Another popular option

is the Nitro Cold Brew, which is brewed at room temperature for 14 hours, infused with nitrogen and poured from a tap. The result is a creamy, carbonated strong brew, with a head much like that on a glass of stout beer. 49 Coffee also offers loose leaf tea, fruit smoothies, bottled beverages, decaf options and, in the future, might work toward making their own soda. While Kevin also owns and runs a painting business, he plans to work at the coffee house in the afternoons and evenings, and both Lindsay and Beatty will be there full time, and also have assistance from two current employees. Opening weekend proved to be a success. “There were rushes of people. It was great,” said Kevin. Among the short-term goals, Kevin and Beatty agree that perfecting the food, adding Monday hours and bringing on another employee top the list. 49 Coffee House is open Tuesdays-Fridays, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturdays, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m; and Sundays, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. For now, they are closed on Mondays, but agree that there is a strong possibility that will change in the near future. To keep up to date on all of their happenings, visit their Facebook page or following them on Instagram (@49coffeehouse).

“To Die But Once” by Jacqueline Winspear

During the months following Britain’s declaration of war on Germany, Maisie Dobbs investigates the disappearance of a young apprentice working on a government contract. As thousands of soldiers are stranded on the beaches of France and the threat of invasion rises, another young man beloved by Maisie makes a terrible decision that will change his life forever. Maisie’s investigation leads her from the countryside of rural Hampshire to the web of wartime opportunism. Yet when a ﬁnal confrontation approaches, she must acknowledge the potential cost to her future and the risk of destroying a dream she wants very much to become reality.

National Comedy Center Announces Grand Opening

The National Comedy Center, the first non-profit cultural institution and national-scale visitor experience dedicated to the art of comedy, announces its opening August 1-5, 2018, coinciding with the organization’s annual Lucille Ball Comedy Festival, in Jamestown, NY. The new 37,000 square foot, $50 million facility tells the story of comedy from its origins through the present, with more than 50 immersive, interactive exhibits. “There has never been a national cultural institution that provides comedy the opportunity for appreciation often afforded other art forms. Culture is preserved by meaningful storytelling. What these artists have done is important, and it should be both celebrated and contextualized, drawing connections that make the past relevant to the present. Lucille Ball understood the power of comedy, and had the vision for her hometown to become a destination for its celebration in a way that would educate, foster and inspire. That’s what we’ve set out to do here,” said National Comedy Center Executive Director Journey Gunderson. In a special press briefing at the site on Friday, March 30, United States Senator Charles Schumer announced his push for a congressional designation for the Center. The new designation would officially make the National Comedy Center the nation’s cultural institution dedicated to the art of comedy, recognizing it as the only institution of its kind with the mission of preserving, protecting, and showcasing the art of comedy and its role in our culture. “Comedy is an artform, and it’s a part of our rich cultural history in America. I am proud to stand here today, as the Comedy Center takes shape, and begin my push to officially designate this the National Comedy Center of the United States,” said Senator Schumer.

Each visitor will experience a personalized trip through the Center as exhibits respond to one’s personal comedic sensibilities via use of a wristband fitted with an RFID chip worn throughout the stay. Highlights include George Carlin’s massive personal archives that provide a glimpse into one of comedy’s most prolific minds, a hologram theater that presents performances of some of comedy’s most notable figures, and experiences that allow visitors to step into the shoes of comedic artists. Additionally, the National Comedy Center will feature rare artifacts from some of comedy’s most notable names and bodies of work. “We are thrilled to announce the opening of this amazing project which was conceptualized and launched more than seven years ago by a group of dedicated and hardworking individuals who have worked tirelessly to make this dream a reality,” said Tom Benson, project chairman. “The National Comedy Center will take guests on a journey through all aspects and eras of the art form. It is the repository that has never existed that will respectfully celebrate comedy in a fun and unique way for generations to come. We sincerely thank all of our funding partners who have provided the support to make this happen.” Funding for the National Comedy Center was provided by state, federal and private philanthropic support. Through the support of I LOVE NY™, more than $9 million has been provided by Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York State’s Empire State Development and the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. The Center is expected to attract

more than 100,000 annual visitors and have a $23 million annual stabilized economic impact on the region. The National Comedy Center embodies Lucille Ball’s vision for her hometown to become a destination for the celebration of the comedic arts — a vision already realized via the programming of the National Comedy Center’s dialogues, the Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Museum, and its renowned Lucille Ball Comedy Festival for more than 25 years. Past festival performers and dialogue participants have included: Jerry Seinfeld, Jay Leno, Ray Romano, Ellen DeGeneres, Bob Newhart, Jim Gafﬁgan, Lewis Black, Trevor Noah, W. Kamau Bell, Brian Regan, Kevin James, Joan and Melissa Rivers, Robert Klein, David Steinberg, Peter Farrelly, Martin Short, Alan Zweibel, Joy Behar, The Smothers Brothers, the creative team of David Letterman’s 33-year career, the families of Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, Harold Ramis and George Carlin, and more than 100 other comedic artists. The Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Museum features rare memorabilia from “I Love Lucy”, props, costumes, Lucille Ball’s Emmy awards, and replica studio sets. In conjunction with the National Comedy Center, the Lucy Desi Museum is currently updating its facility and will be unveiling new exhibits in August. Located in Jamestown, a city in Chautauqua County and Western New York, the National Comedy Center is in the region of Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Toronto.

Bradford Publishing acquires Chautauqua Star

Bradford Publishing Co., owner of the Olean Times Herald and The Bradford Era, continues to broaden the newspaper group’s holdings in the region with the acquisition of the weekly Chautauqua Star. The acquisition of the Star from the Maytum Co. was announced Tuesday by John H. Satterwhite, president and CEO of Bradford Publishing. “We are pleased to continue increasing our footprint in newspaper

publishing in this region,” Satterwhite said. James G. Bonn, chief operating ofﬁcer of Bradford Publishing, will be responsible for overseeing operations of the Star, as well as all other group publications. The acquisition comes six months after Bradford Publishing completed the purchase of the Ellicottville Times and the Springville Times weekly newspapers, along with

the Dunkirk/Fredonia and the Silver Creek/Gowanda Pennysavers, bringing those publications into the group with the Times Herald, The Era, The Salamanca Press, Cattaraugus County Pennysaver and the Moneysaver Guide and News. “We are looking forward to working in our our expanded group’s areas to offer a truly wide reach to readers and advertisers in the region,” Bonn said.

The Friends of ASP Host ‘I Love My Park Day’ May 5

The Friends of Allegany State Park will host volunteers at Allegany State Park as part of more than 100 cleanups, improvement and beautiﬁcation events happening statewide on Saturday, May 5. I Love My Park Day is an exciting statewide event to improve and enhance New York’s state parks and historic sites and bring visibility to the entire state park system and its needs. Volunteers from across the state will participate

in cleanup, improvement, and beautiﬁcation events at New York State parks and historic sites. Volunteers will celebrate New York’s state park system by cleaning up park lands and beaches, planting trees and gardens, restoring trails and wildlife habitat, removing invasive species, and working on various site improvement projects. I Love My Park Day is coordinated at the statewide level by Parks & Trails New York (PTNY) in partnership with the

New York State Ofﬁce of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP). Friends groups and park staff will oversee cleanup, improvement and beautiﬁcation projects and work with volunteers. This event will be held on the Quaker side of the park and is the fourth year the Friends of Allegany State Park have hosted the event in cooperation with Allegany State Park management and PTNY. New York State is a leader in parks and

conservation because of a long history of stewardship and generosity of private citizens. Friends groups and volunteers are more important than ever to keep parks beautiful, clean, and welcoming for all to visit and enjoy. Volunteer participation in a cleanup day will help enhance these important places during lean budget times and show elected leaders that there is strong public support for our park system. Sponsors of this year’s ILMPD event include J-Con Parks, the Park Concessionaire, Stage Light & Heating, New Harbor Financial Management Corp., Carol Jackson, Friend of Allegany Member and Karla Johnston. Those interested in volunteering in the project at Allegany State Park can register to volunteer by visiting www.ptny.org/ ilovemypark or by calling Sandy Boczar, ILMPD Chairperson at 716-4326964. The Friends of Allegany

State Park is a nonproﬁt organization whose mission is to work with the state of New York to promote, preserve, and maintain Allegany State Park. The park has been enjoyed by people of all ages for almost 100 years. The Friends pursue this mission by serving as ambassadors and advocates for the park and the wider community. This is accomplished by recruiting friends and volunteers and by developing corporate and community partners. The Friends strive to network with the talent, knowledge, and enthusiasm that is needed to keep the park relevant and vital. The Friends will strive to preserve, maintain, and interpret the historic character and natural beauty of the park. Please see our Facebook page for event details or visit our website at www. friendsofallegany.com for information about joining our team! Parks & Trails New York is the leading statewide

organization working to preserve and enhance a network of parks, trails and greenways for all New Yorkers for generations to come. Since 1985, our inﬂuential reports and advocacy efforts have been critical to keeping parks and historic sites open and protecting New York’s natural, recreational, cultural and historical resources. For more information, visit www. ptny.org. The New York State Ofﬁce of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation oversees 180 state parks and 35 historic sites, which are visited by 60 million people annually. A recent study by Parks & Trails New York found that New York State Parks generates $1.9 billion in economic activity annually and supports 20,000 jobs.
