ECS Proposes $11.9 Million Budget By Jann Wiswall
The Ellicottville School Board and the District’s administrative leaders gathered at the school on Tuesday, May 10 for a public hearing to explain the 2016-17 budget. The three candidates running for two school board posts also attended the hearing and made brief statements.
Three school district residents attended the hearing. As District Superintendent Mark Ward quipped, “if no one’s here, it’s probably good news because then no one has complaints. If there’s a crowd, you know there’s an issue!” Ward began the presentation with a summary of some of the school’s achievements
over the past year, listing the completion of the new multipurpose gym and the students’ embrace of the new space as the highlight. He also pointed to the growth and successes of the school athletic programs and the positive impact of West Valley athletes on the school. He noted a number See ECS Budget page 4
Residents/Businesses Bring Ideas to Village Board
By Jann Wiswall
The Village of Ellicottville’s board had a busy evening on Monday, May 9, as several issues came to its attention during the “business from the floor” portion of the meeting. First up were Betsy Peyser and Teresa Wagner, who attended the meeting to brief the board on a community-led
plan to raise funds to capture, spay/neuter and provide basic veterinary care to the growing population of stray cats that have been making their homes in the Village. They estimate the cost per cat will be $60. The goal will be to reduce the population over time. Wagner and Peyser
have enlisted the help of a veterinarian who has volunteered to provide care. They estimate it will take several months and many volunteers to capture and treat most of the estimated 50+ animals in the Village. Likely the effort will need to continue See Village Board page 9

National Comedy Center Acquires Archives of George Carlin The National Comedy Center has acquired the archives of George Carlin. The acquisition was announced by the comedian’s daughter, Kelly Carlin, at a private event in New York hosted by the Comedy Center. The contents of the Carlin archive contain material saved by the comedian over his 50-plus-year career, and will be utilized in the Center’s forthcoming museum experience — scheduled to open in Jamestown in 2017. The event, Satire and Democracy: Empowering the Citizenry with Comedy, was held at The Paley Center for Media, and featured a panel discussion with Lewis Black, Robert Klein, Larry Wilmore and Lizz Winstead recorded for the Comedy Center’s archives. The panel was held in tribute to George Carlin, who passed away in 2008. Kliph Nesteroff, author of “The Comedians: Drunks, Thieves, Scoundrels and the
History of American Comedy,â€? moderated the discussion and was announced as the Chief Curator of the Comedy Center’s forthcoming museum experience. The Carlin archive includes his extensive creative ďŹ les, annotated set lists, handwritten journals, scrapbooks, awards, letters, clothing, arrest records and countless hours of video and audio recordings containing both released and unreleased material. Archive images and an audio sample can be found at:www. NationalComedyCenter.org/ Carlin-Archive. “There comes a time in one’s life when it’s time to let go of our parent’s stuff. For me this has been a literal process. Through the writing of my memoir and touring my solo show, I’ve gotten to be with my father in many ways, and let go of, honor and transform our past together,â€? said Kelly Carlin in a statement. “I am
truly excited that there will be a place for my dad’s stuff— permanently. The folks at the National Comedy Center are thoughtful, respectful and excited about the art of comedy. I can think of no other place for my dad’s legacy to be permanently honored, archived and preserved for future generations.â€? Journey Gunderson, Executive Director of the National Comedy Center, added, “George Carlin helped redeďŹ ne the art form of standup comedy and we are honored to help steward his legacy in this way. With this incredible archive we can provide a window into his creative process for generations to come.â€?

of impressive academic achievements by several student clubs and teams. And he applauded the professionalism and performance levels of the music, theater and other arts programs. The budget challenge for 2016-17 starts with the fact that there is virtually no new money coming to the school from the state or property taxes. But there is also less “loss” since the state is ending the “Gap Elimination Adjustment” that took funds away from schools across the country. The state also increased the school’s Foundation Aid. As described in an article by Ward in the school’s newsletter, this results in a “net overall increase in state aid” of about $104,000, or about 3 percent. Ward’s article also points out that, “while the tax cap is a great way to control property taxes, it does have some consequences that will make it difficult to operate our school in the future….The annual allowable tax levy imposed by our state tax cap is based upon the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 2 percent, whichever is less. The allowable tax growth factor for 2016-17
is calculated as .12 percent. Last year, this limit was 1.62 percent, the prior year it was 1.46 percent, and three years ago the limit was two percent. For Ellicottville, that means we will be able to raise an additional $8,257 in property tax revenue.” With that said, Ward noted that the school must and will continue to invest in its students, and technology has to be the focus. The school plans to invest $75-80,000 in technology, which includes the purchase of new laptops for students in grades 7-9 and new learning management system software packages. In addition, the school was approved for the state’s SmartBond grant, which will allow the school to purchase an additional $200k in new projectors, touch screens, whiteboards and televisions for the entire school. In addition, the board has budgeted to pay for the tuition and books associated with students who take college courses at ECS and several new college courses will be offered, including Economics through Syracuse University and precalculus with Jamestown Community College.
District Treasurer Aimee Kilby then took the podium to walk the audience through budget specifics, explaining a number of charts that detail revenues from all sources and expenses related to instruction, employee benefits, central services, support services, operation and management, pupil transportation, debt service, interfund transfer and BOCES services (budget detail in chart and narrative form appears in the May 2016 Ellicottville Central School Newsletter, which can be found online at www. ellicottvillecentral.com). Total expenditures match revenues of $11,903,306, she said, compared to last year’s budget of $11,620,182. In addition to the above, the board proposes to lease two 66 passenger buses at a cost of $32,000. Ward closed the hearing by saying that “the board has done a good job keeping the budget tight.” He encouraged voters to cast their ballots on the budget and the school board candidates on Tuesday, May 17. A sample ballot is provided for your interest.

Unfortunately, BCH learned on March 4 that the New York State Department of Health has denied our application. With several hundred rural hospitals across the United States facing bankruptcy or closure, Bertrand Chaffee Hospital is in a precarious position. We emerged from financial difficulties of 2008 through smart decisions by our board and leadership team. And with strong community support, BCH established a Primary Care Center and Heart Center as key parts of a long-term plan that emphasized financial stability and deliberate growth. However, BCH’s continued survival is not guaranteed – especially when faced with an unequal distribution of state tax dollars.

Cattaraugus County was ranked worst in WNY for health outcomes, and was 60th out of the 62 counties in New York. It held last place in WNY for categories relating to length of life, premature deaths, adult smokers and physical inactivity. In late 2015, New York State Department of Health announced the availability of funding through the Essential Health Care Provider Support Program. This $355 million award was distributed across the state to healthcare facilities that are deemed to be essential. There was a sense

not received NYS Department of Health financial support since 2008. BCH submitted a $7.6 million project, noting that the application suggested that projects under $25 million would be prioritized. The plan outlined would
address critical facility maintenance projects, develop space for specialty medical practices, expand primary care space, and upgrade our imaging technology and equipment. Each of these initiatives would have enhanced local access to essential healthcare services for our neighbors. Though the rejection of our application by the NYS Department of Health was disappointing, we want to emphasize that we
are doing everything we can to ensure the future of local healthcare for residents of southern Erie, northern Cattaraugus and Wyoming counties. That will include pursuing NYS support and continuing to educate our patients, our community, and our local and state representatives about the importance of rural hospitals like ours. We thank you for your support and we are proud to be your hospital.

Great Valley Honors Eberle, LaCroix By Colleen Mahoney
Six trees were planted around the playground behind the Great Valley Town Hall, Supervisor Dan Brown reported at the May 9 Town of Great Valley board meeting. Two of the trees were planted in honor of Dean Eberle and Ted LaCroix. “Dean was one of the first members of the town zoning board and Ted was a longtime member of the town board. He was also the deputy supervisor for 10 years,” Brown said. “I’d like to get a plaque memorializing them.” The trees, which were donated by Schichtel’s Nursery, were planted with the help of Great Valley Building Group, Gernatt Asphalt Products and A and F Trucking. Highway Supervisor Jack Harrington used his personal truck to help move the trees. The board discussed the pavilion at the Killbuck Fire Department, after the department was approached about selling the land. The pavilion is part of the congressional district but also the Seneca Nation of Indians. While the pavilion hasn’t been used recently, the board is unsure of who actually owns it or how to go about selling it.
“We went back in the files and it looks like the pavilion was given to the fire department,” Brown said, noting that the town is paying the lease but no legal documents were found. It was decided the board will look further into the issue, before making any moves. Town engineer Mark Alianello presented the board with a report outlining the “sewer issue in Killbuck,” which has the county looking for ways to create a sewer district. Alianello explained that the creation of a sewer district gets looked at on and off every eight to 10 years. The first step in the process is to invest in an engineer’s report,
which would, among other things, identify the area for the project and determine if the city of Salamanca – where the district would connect to – has the capacity to support a new sewer district. The engineer’s fee could be reimbursed down the road if grant funding for a sewer project is obtained. The board felt there wasn’t enough information to make any decisions yet and would reach out to the County Health Department to send a representative to explain the process. The next meeting of the board will be held on Monday, June 13 at 7 p.m. in the Great Valley Town Hall.

Village Board
for several seasons. Peyser noted that the group is looking to borrow humane animal traps (e.g. Havahart) to use throughout the duration of the project. The traps will be returned, she said. The group is planning a large fundraiser at the Town Center on August 5 and can accept financial contributions, donated or loaned traps and other supplies. Mayor John Burrell thanked Peyser and Wagner for their efforts and said the board would help in any way it can. Next up were Jim Carls, representing Dina’s Restaurant, and Judy Roush, representing Tips Up Restaurant, who proposed that they be permitted to serve alcoholic beverages at their outdoor tables on Washington Street during the late spring and summer. They provided the board with a list of state rules and guidelines for outdoor alcohol service, along with a summary of their plans to manage the service. Burrell said that, currently, existing law allows such service. Per state law, the service area must be cordoned off, five feet of sidewalk must be left available for pedestrians and wheelchairs and other standards must be met. Board discussion centered on if the change would encourage people to get up and leave the restaurant with their beverages, thereby violating the Village’s open container law. The restaurant owners explained that there would be prominent signage, as well as staff on hand to help keep that from happening. The owners also said that no one would be allowed to just walk up and sit down in the area. They would be required to be seated by the host/hostess. Their goal is simply to allow customers to enjoy a glass of wine with dinner. Most board members liked the idea, which they know works well in other communities. However, this was the first the board had heard about the plan and members wanted more time to review the proposal and consult with Ellicottville police. The
Continued from front page
board agreed that restaurants should be required to obtain a Village permit and would need to agree to conform to certain standards. Because of the seasonal nature of the service, the board felt that the businesses should be able to start as soon as possible. Instead of waiting until the June meeting to discuss the matter again, a special meeting was scheduled for May 18 at 7 p.m. At that time, the owners will provide more specific information about their plans and a draft permit and village standards will be available for review. Finally, Nick Pitillo, owner of Villaggio restaurant, is planning a special event on May 21 and asked the board for permission to use two parking spots on Monroe Street in front of his building for a tent and food service. The board approved the lastminute request, but informed Pitillo that such requests in the future must be submitted to the board’s special events committee three months in advance. Meeting Agenda During the regular meeting, Burrell reported on a number of ongoing and new business items: In response to issues raised at a public hearing on proposed zoning law amendments, Burrell and Village Planning Board Chair Nancy Rogan recommended that the board participate in joint meetings to resolve and redraft some sections of the amendments. The board agreed to schedule meetings to work through resident’s concerns. As part of his research on the Village’s brush/yard waste laws, Burrell reported that he had been unable to find minutes regarding board action last fall that reduced the number of brush/yard waste pickups by the Department of Public Works (DPW) to two per season. He also pointed out that a mailing to residents on the subject referenced the wrong law. Board members assured Burrell that the action was, indeed, taken by the board.
Editor’s note: the board and this newspaper received copies of the above-referenced documents from board member Patra Lowes via email the following day. Burrell thanked Lowes for doing the research and clarifying the matter. Burrell asked the board to accept the low bid for village insurance coverage from the Evans Agency (representing Trident Insurance) at a cost of $22,572 and the low bid on a used backhoe for the DPW. The board approved both bids. The board also approved Burrell’s request to purchase some new small equipment for the DPW if year-end funds are available. The new roofs on the last of the buildings at the Village Park have been installed. The village purchased the construction materials; the labor was generously donated by resident Chris Woodarek. The baseball diamond at the park also was redone and is ready for summer use. Burrell reported that the Village’s Workers’ Compensation insurance rate is going up 43% (or $15,000) this year. “It’s a big hit,” he said. Special Events Committee Chair Patra Lowes asked the board to approve its street closure, police and other Village-controlled plans for the Summer Music Festival, the Jazz and Blues Festival and The Taste of Ellicottville, in addition to a new event – the Ellicottville Outdoor Expo on June 4-5 – which will require a portion of Monroe Street to be closed. All events were approved. The board had planned to close the regular meeting and open its annual “Reorganizational Meeting.” However, due to the late hour, it was agreed that the Reorganizational Meeting will be rescheduled for immediately after the special meeting on outdoor alcohol service for May 18 at the village/town hall. The time was tentatively set for 7 p.m. The next regular meeting of the village board will be held on Monday, June 13 at 6 p.m. at the village/town hall.
Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce has connected with Seabirds International to bring two kayak sessions to the Olean area. Seabirds work in partnership with other organizations to make kayaking and canoeing a safe and enjoyable pastime. Seabirds International aims to make your paddling experience one to remember. The two sessions, Strokes and Maneuvers Refinement and Kayak Safety and Rescue, will be held Saturday, Sept. 3. The venue (subject to change due to weather conditions) will be Linn Launch, Steam Valley Road, Portville, NY. The Strokes and Maneuvers Refinement will be held 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Can you paddle forward, backward and make your boat ‘slip’ sideways? Do you edge your boat while you are paddling? Can you turn your boat using a bow rudder?
If you answered no to any of these, join us for this course to help you improve your paddling skills. Kayak Safety and Rescue will be held 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Do you kayak alone? Are you able to get back into your boat unassisted? Do you paddle with friends? Have you practiced rescuing each other? Do you know how to swim with your boat in the event you aren’t able to ‘self rescue’? If you answered no to any of the questions then this is a course for you! You will gain confidence in your rescue techniques as you learn: wet exits and cowboy rescue- aka self rescue; Eskimo bow and paddle rescues; contact tow, towing with towlines, boat over boat rescues; and how to swim with our boats and back deck rescues. This course is designed for people with basic paddling skills, i.e. can paddle
forward, backward and side-toside. The cost is $80 (a $150 value). Spaces limited to four per session, book early to avoid disappointment, seabird.ava@ gmail.com Participants will receive an ACA participation card which can be shown for kayak activities requiring these skills. For those participating, please bring boat personal gear and equipment, spare change of clothing & towel for after the session, and drink/ refreshments/ high-energy snack. This is a wet session and you will be in the water. Please fill out paperwork on the website for the session (waiver, health and fitness, photo release, etc.) The paperwork can be found online at http:// www.seabirds.co/courses. html. For general information, please contact GOACC at (716) 372-4433.

is one step in a process that includes applying for a state tax ID and filing other paperwork, he explained. Imhoff, who is a groomer and mechanic at Holiday Valley during ski season, has been working on and building parts of cars for most of his life. He also raced enough to have been nationally ranked for several years. His interest in building cars came out of that. Last fall, he sold a chassis with prefabricated body to the producers of a Discovery Channel television series called Street Outlaws. The vehicle will be seen in the next season of the show. Clayton Silvernail’s application for a special use permit to renovate the old Agway building at 11 Martha Street was reviewed. Silvernail expects to convert the space into three offices; one will be his own law office.
Silvernail explained to the board that there is a discrepancy in the public record about who owns a strip of land adjacent to the building. That land is needed for tenant parking. Documents indicate that the land was sold at one time to a previous owner, but he has been unable to find a paperwork or a survey to prove it. It may still be owned by the Village of Ellicottville. Silvernail said he and others are researching the matter. If it is still owned by the Village, he would like to purchase it. The board agreed to set a public hearing on the permit for its June meeting with the hope that the village board and Silvernail will be able to sort things out before then. Mayor John Burrell, who attended the planning board meeting, promised that the village board will do whatever it can to facilitate the process.
Finally, the board approved some architectural improvements to the exterior front of Madigan’s restaurant. Owner Shane Kell provided an elevation drawing showing a full bank of five double-hung windows with transoms that will bring in natural light on the second floor, and a new sign with a gooseneck light fixture on the façade of the third floor. In other business, Mayor Burrell and the planning board discussed their search for a new Village Planner; the current planner, Jason Paananen, has resigned. Burrell asked the planning board to interview applicants (several have been identified) and make a recommendation to the Village Board, which must approve the appointment. The next meeting of the Village Planning Board will be held on Tuesday, June 14 at 5:30 p.m.

Foster Dog Diaries #4 This is Only the Beginning
Tips for Cat Ownership
By Alicia and Ava Dziak
As we head into the final stretch of the school year, my daughter, Ava, and her friends are wrapping up their months-long project, Kids Can Make a Difference. The project, assigned by her social studies and ELA teachers, was to find an organization and cause to work with throughout the year. Four to six service hours were required, as well as other components along the way. Ava chose to work with Empire Animal Rescue Society (EARS) since she wants to be a vet some day and has always loved animals of all kinds. Ava quickly completed her service hours by volunteering at adoption events, helping transport animals to and from appointments, and of course, fostering them. As any parent knows, the older your child gets, the faster time seems to move. I’ve found that these middle school years are flying by, and can’t believe my oldest baby is about to come to the end of her seventh grade year. This school year, like all of them, has brought about many changes for Ava and for our family. Since Ava started her project in October, we have fostered 12 dogs. We have had two “foster failures” and added Tucker, a three-year-old lab mix, and Rasta, a 10-week-old feist and mountain cur mix, to our fleet that currently also includes Scarlet, our yellow lab, and Rosalina and Flower, our two cats. Sadly, in April, we lost
Dr. Sheila Fitzpatrick with daughter Christina
our 14-year-old dog Marley, and it got me to thinking about rescue dogs. Marley was a black pitbullchow-lab mix. I spotted her behind the bars of a city animal shelter before I even had kids. While pitbulls and chows can get a bad rap, what I didn’t know at the time is that black dogs are the hardest to get adopted. Had I listened to the naysayers warning me against adopting such a dog, I would have missed out on 14 and a half wonderful years with my faithful companion, who followed me everywhere until the very end. I am thankful that we could take her out of that shelter all those years ago, and give her a good home and a good life. Fostering dogs is a stepping stone to giving them a better life. While we wish we could adopt them all, there is a great sense of accomplishment in seeing them go off to their new homes, their new families full
of excitement as they hold their new pup for the first time. This project has been an amazing experience not only for Ava, but for our entire family. We have learned so much about each dog, traits and behaviors of certain breeds, the rescue process, and that saving each animal is truly a team effort. I can’t say enough positive things about Courtney Valent and all of the other volunteers who run EARS. It’s pretty much a 24/7 job, but you never hear anyone complaining because they believe in what they’re doing, and that is saving these animals one at a time. As the school year and Ava’s project come to an end, our involvement with EARS surely will not. We plan to continue to foster and help in other ways, and my younger daughter, Lily, is already planning on working with them for her seventh grade project in another year.
May 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. Mozart Mozart’s mom was abandoned in a Kentucky shelter while pregnant, and she had four puppies who ended up with EARS. Mozart is a mountain cur and feist mix. After we had him for only one day, we fell in love with him and decided to adopt him. We renamed him Rasta. Ramona About a week later, we got Ramona, who is Rasta’s sister. She was much bigger than him and had bigger paws. At first, when we’d pick her up, she was a little scared and shy, but the longer we had her, we’d find that she’d be running around and as soon as we’d pick her up, she’d be calm and cuddly. She and Rasta would play all day. My aunt and uncle and two cousins loved Rasta so much and wanted to meet his sister.
They loved Ramona as much as we did and ended up adopting her! Since I started this project in the fall, we’ve been able to foster 12 different dogs, and we ended up adopting two of them. Fostering dogs has been a very good experience because we can see all the different breeds of dogs and see how they interact with people and with other animals. Fostering saves lives by giving animals a second chance. My 14-year-old black lab-chow-pitbull mix, Marley, passed away recently. It was a very emotional time for me and my family. She was a rescue that we were able to help and to me, knowing that we gave her this amazing life, helped me cope with losing her. I’ve also learned that certain breeds, like chihuahuas and pitbulls, and even any black dogs, are hard to get adopted. That is crazy to me because Marley was the sweetest dog ever and she was black. All dogs deserve a chance, no matter the color, the breed or the age. Since this has been such a great experience for me and my family, we will continue working with EARS to help as many animals as possible.
Ways You Can Help: Things I’ve Learned: • There are so many animals out there that need help. • Certain kinds of dogs get a bad reputation, but are really good dogs! • Volunteering and helping others is a really fun way to spend time when it’s for something you really care about. You’re never too young to get involved.

Are you thinking of getting a new pet, perhaps a cat? If you are, starting off on the right foot with the care for your feline friend is crucial for having a long-lived relationship. So, before you bring Morris or Felix home to stay, please take note of a few suggestions for raising a healthy cat. First, when you acquire your new cat or kitten, brush it daily. Not only does this allow you to bond with your feline friend, it is helpful in reducing the potential for hairball ingestion, as well as minimizing allergens in the air and keeping your cat’s coat healthy. If you feed your cat while you brush him or her, this can help associate the brushing with a “positive” experience. Second, be conscious of what you feed your pet. Minimize the volume of dry food in your cat’s diet, as dry food is composed of plant originating carbohydrates, which have been proven to cause obesity resulting in Type 2 Diabetes
in cats. Unlike dogs, cats get a large portion of their daily water intake thru their diet, thus wet food increases the daily moisture intake, keeping your cat healthier longer. Especially as cats age, appropriate water intake is critical to daily health. Third, be aware of your cat’s water intake. Watch and take note of your cat’s daily water consumption, as well as their urination. As cats age, diseases such as diabetes, kidney disease and hyperthyroidism all cause cats to drink excessive amounts of water, so the more conscious a pet owner is to their cat’s daily water intake and output, the quicker a diagnosis and treatment plan can be made. Fourth, have plenty of litter boxes in your home. As a rule of thumb, cats require one box plus one additional per cat in the household. Put the boxes in easily accessible areas, so a cat is not going to be tempted to start bad habits such as urinating in inappropriate places in the home. Clean the litter daily as well, and be sure the box is not too high for an aging cat to get in an out of, as well as be aware that some of the clumping cat litter can adhere to cat’s paws and cause them to ingest large volumes of clay. Furthermore, dusty and scented litter can trigger allergies as well as asthma in some cats, so again, be aware of the types of boxes you have and the litter you put in them. Fifth, don’t assume if your cat is urinating around the house it is “behavioral.” Many male cats on high ash commercial diets are prone to a syndrome called
Feline Urological Syndrome, resulting in life threatening bladder infections and stones which can block the ability of a male cat to urinate, leading to renal failure and death. Thus, be sure your veterinarian does a complete exam on your cat as well as a urinealysis to rule out underlying disease before you assume the problem is behavioral. Sixth, be sure you spay and neuter your pets. In addition to this helping to control the pet population, unneutered cats tend to “spray” to mark their territory which can result in unnecessary odors in the home. In addition, they are more prone to cat fights resulting in more trips to the veterinarian. Female cats can be prone to developing breast cancer later in life if not spayed. Finally, be cognizcent of your pet’s exposure to disease and ask your veterinarian to tailor your pet’s vaccinations to what their individual needs are. For example, an indoor pet may require fewer vaccinations than an outdoor pet that is continually exposed to feral cats and wild animals. Most of all, enjoy your new pet and best of luck with your new family member!

Rotary Club Helps Fund EFD’s ‘Explorer Program’ The Rotary Club of Ellicottville Foundation for Yo Youth donated $2,000 to the Ell Ellicottville Fire Department’s Ex Explorer Program. This pro program, in conjunction with the Boy Scouts of America, pro provides an opportunity for ch children ages 13 – 16 to be become a volunteer firefighter in training. This program ha has been revived to help get yo younger people trained and inv involved in volunteer fire figghting. “This type of program fits per perfectly with the Rotary Fou Foundation for Youth’s mis mission and we are happy to help,” said Jack Luzier, pre president of the Rotary Club of Ell Ellicottville. “Our intention is to try to support two new me members every year, which we bel believe will help the Volunteer Fir Fire Department maintain and gro grow the Fire Company who pro provide a tremendous service to oour community. We are able to pprovide this funding because of the generous support for our fundraisers like Tuscan Moon.” “The high cost of equipment for volunteers has been a
limiting factor for growth of the program,” said Debbie Golley from EFD. “This generous donation will help us grow the program and add much needed help to the company.” Explorer members get to participate in meetings, work nights and fire and ambulance calls. During work nights, they learn about various fire trucks and equipment, like airpacks, and practice running the hose.
While attending an actual fire, there are restrictions to what they can do to ensure safety, while allowing them to learn. At the scene they report to the assistant chief or captain for their assignments. There are currently five members and three advisors in the program. If you have interest in this program, please contact Debbie Golley at 378-1170 or Rob Germain at 699-4293.

Town of East Otto Board Meeting Minutes April 12, 2016 Minutes as submitted The April meeting of the East Otto Town Board was called to order at 8:10 p.m. by Supervisor James Beach on Tuesday April 12, 2016. Guests present were Bob Bowen, Michael Guerin and Legislator Richard Helmich Jeffrey Forster’s resignation as Assessor, contingent on his eligibility to retire, as well as his reinstatement, were accepted by the board. Jeff addressed the board on the progress of the re-evaluation. It all seems to be going smoothly according to past experience. It seems that land values have increased at a more rapid pace than housing stock. Any calls received by the board should be directed to Jeff. The BAR (Board of Assessment Review) will meet on the fourth Tuesday of May, Tuesday May 24th from 4PM to 8PM. The bid, for mowing of the Brooklyn Cemetery and the Town Hall, Ball Diamond and Historical building, was awarded to Deanna Bowen for the 2016 season. Tom Benz gave an update on the gravel pit. He contacted a contractor who believes he can make the necessary repairs to the pit for under $2,000 if the town will do the mulching and reseeding. There was some additional discussion on the gravel pit and how long the board is to be responsible to continue repairing acts of nature if there is no growth because of washout. Jim suggested meeting again with the Sportsman’s club. The ditch between Bowen Rd. and Razey Rd. is still not completed. The contractor now needs to wait until the ground dries out some.The board unanimously agreed to allow the Highway Superintendent to bid on a used roller up to $3,999. He was not awarded the bid. Tom received a letter from the office of Senator Kathy Young with the projected CHIPS payments for 2016. This year we are projected to receive $107,765.42 for 2016, down $5.91 from last year. It also stated that the extreme winter repair that has been received for the last few years will no longer be available. Instead the state is operating under a plan called Pave NY. Under the plan we are estimated to receive $24,598.53, an increase over previous funding of $9225.65. Tom reminded the board that this is only tentative and no confirmation has yet been received. Councilman Bill Spors asked why it took so long to open Traffic Street since by having it closed most of the winter it was in better shape earlier than usual. Tom stated that it was opened and maintained when it was supposed to be on April 1st. Tom stated that he left it closed longer because he felt that more damage would be caused if he opened it sooner. It was less money for the maintenance to get it opened by keeping it closed longer. Mr. Spors felt that the reason for keeping it closed may have been more personal, but Tom insisted it was not. The town website is up and running. The web address is: eastottony.org. Everyone was encouraged to review the information and offer any suggestions as well as submitting items to be added. Tax collection has been completed. CEO: Jeff Holler answered 14 calls, completed 7 inspections and issued 1 permit. He deposited to the clerk $40.00 for permits issued. Jeff is out now looking for property violations. Jim is trying to contact the owner of the property bordering the playground to have the tree on their property removed or trimmed so that it does not fall on the shelter. Jim received a letter from the Cattaraugus County Treasurer concerning the property on East Flats Rd. and is waiting for a response from them about the Town taking ownership. On Thursday, DFT Security will be coming to install the security cameras. They believe it will take two days. Public Comment: Mr. Guerin asked what was being done to get the website information out to the public. He was informed that it will be included in the survey letter being sent out by the planning board. He asked if individual email addresses would be available for the board members. Jim stated that would be up to each individual board member. He asked what the change in tax rates would be now that the assessment has gone from $58 million to $84 million. Jim explained that any tax changes would be addressed at budget time. Mr. Guerin again asked if the board would work with him to create a plan to pave Traffic Street. Jim stated that Traffic Street, as well as other roads in the town, was discussed during the budget preparation. Mr. Guerin asked for a report on the roads that Tom plans to work on this year. He was instructed to file a FOIL request with the records officer. The April 26, 2016 meeting is canceled. The next meeting will be May 10, 2016. During executive session the board agreed to introduce a statement to address a safety issue that was reported to them and which occurred in the Town Highway building at least twice. Because it is an unsafe practice as determined by the town board, they are recommending and enforcing that certain practices for cleaning shop towels end immediately and going forward another safer method will be instituted including possibly having the towels cleaned professionally. All board members signed the statement and it will be presented to the highway employees personally by Councilman Spors and Supervisor Beach. If the unsafe practice continues, further disciplinary action will occur as warranted. Councilman Dave Forster feels there should be more communication from the highway department when things happen that are outside of the normal daily routine such as when a truck goes in the ditch or equipment is involved in any accident or interaction with the public which others may see as inappropriate. Respectfully Submitted Ann Rugg, Town Clerk

‘Eat Dirt: Why Leaky Gut May Be the Root Cause of Your Health Problems and 5 Surprising Steps to Cure it’ by Dr.Josh Axe
Doctor of Natural Medicine and wellness authority Dr. Josh Axe delivers a groundbreaking, indispensable guide for understanding, diagnosing, and treating one of the most discussed, yet little-understood ,health conditions: leaky gut syndrome. To keep us in good health, our gut relies on maintaining a symbiotic relationship with trillions of microorganisms that live in our digestive tract. When our digestive system is out of whack, serious health problems can manifest and our intestinal walls can develop microscopic holes, allowing undigested food particles, bacteria, and toxins to seep into the bloodstream. This condition is known as leaky gut syndrome. Because leaky gut manifests differently in every individual, Dr. Axe also identifies the five main “gut types” and offers customizable plans—including diet, supplement, and lifestyle recommendations—to dramatically improve gut health in just thirty days. With a simple diet plan, recipes, and practical advice, Eat Dirt will help readers restore gut health and eliminate leaky gut for good. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. Don’t forget, you can access over 14,000 eBooks and eAudiobooks using your library card!

Learn How to Get the Most from Your Point and Shoot Camera
Have you been surprised by the results you can get from your point and shoot camera? On Sunday afternoon, May 22, the Audubon Nature Center is offering a workshop that will build on your photography skills. During the 1:30-4:30 p.m. program, photographer Terry Radecki will teach you how to create better photos with your point and shoot camera. Participants will take photos and discuss the results and how to improve them. Question and answer time will be provided. Radecki finds that using your creative abilities can help define you as a person. He notes, “It is my goal that your photo skills will strengthen, and your photos will be a self-expression to others.” A former educator, Radecki is a travel enthusiast who enjoys the arts, particularly photography and watercolor. He divides his time between Warren, PA, and Palm Springs, CA, and finds both these very diverse areas to be full of opportunities for nature exploration. Participants should have some working knowledge of their cameras. Bring your camera with fully charged battery and empty storage card and, if possible, your camera’s manual. As you will be outside, remember to dress for the weather. The fee is $36; $27 for Friends of the Nature Center. Paid reservations are required by Tuesday, May 17: stop by, call (716) 569-2345 during business hours, or use the online form by clicking on “Getting the Most from your Point and Shoot Camera” at www.jamestownaudubon.org.

Summer Intern Position Ellicottville Memorial Library The Ellicottville Memorial Library is pleased to announce the generous donation of funds from the Rotary Club of Ellicottville Foundation for Youth to hire a local student as a summer intern to help with the children’s Summer Reading Program. We are thrilled because this additional person will give us the ability to provide more programs and activities to the 100+ children that sign up each summer for our Summer Reading Program. The theme for this year’s Summer Reading Program is “On Your Mark, Get Set…READ!” This program not only helps motivate children to read, but it also develops positive attitudes about reading and books and helps children maintain their reading skills over summer vacation by encouraging regular use of the library. We are already gearing up to provide programs and events focusing on group games, physical challenges, art projects, science and engineering experiments and more. Any student interested in applying for this position should stop by the Ellicottville Memorial Library or call 699-2842 for information. The intern must be currently enrolled in college or planning on attending college this fall, and preference will be given to Ellicottville Central School graduates. This position will run June 20 to Aug. 12. (These dates can be adjusted by one week if necessary to accommodate high school seniors.) The pay rate is 30 hours per week at $9 per hour. Please submit an application and resume by June 3.

ELLICOTTVILLE LANDSCAPING

Audubon’s Annual Plant Exchange and Sale May 21 Growing healthy, blooming, tasty, beautiful plants is one of the best parts of spring and here’s your chance to get in on the fun! You are invited to get some plants, knowledge, tips and tricks at the Jamestown Audubon Nature Center’s annual Plant Exchange and Sale on Saturday, May 21, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Gardeners know there are always volunteer plants that spring up and need new homes. The Plant Exchange and Sale was born to share those volunteers. It has grown to include donations from nurseries to provide some friendly and in-demand plants, a sale option for those just starting out who don’t yet have extras, and some seeds and informational displays. Bring your extras, your volunteers, and seedlings or plants you don’t have room for. Labels, including the name of the plant, color (if known), and sun/shade preference are

“We’ve got gas” appreciated. Bring plants in pots (no plastic bags) or money, and exchange or buy plants and take them home. Plants are priced based on condition, species, and size. Not all plants will be accepted on exchange, and it is not an even one-for-one exchange rate. Tickets are given as credit when plants are brought in and can be used towards the purchase of new plants. Audubon reserves the right to refuse plants based on species or condition.
If you are interested only in donating, plants can be dropped off at the Nature Center on Thursday and Friday, May 19 and 20. If you are interested in volunteering, Audubon can use volunteers on Friday (May 20) and Saturday (May 21) for repotting, set up, answering questions, and clean-up. The Plant Exchange and Sale benefits the Nature Center’s gardens. To volunteer, call Audubon naturalist/volunteer coordinator Katie Finch at (716) 569-2345.

SCA Presents ‘Proof’
In 2001, Proof won the both a Tony Award for the Best Play on Broadway and a Pulitzer Prize. It is a beautifully written play about the dynamics of family life, especially caregiving, sibling rivalry, loyalty, and love. It is funny, dramatic, and poignant--just like real life. The four characters may be flawed but they are so finely drawn and developed, that you can’t help but like them. Against the background of the discovery of a brilliant mathematical proof, these four characters evolve, love and clash, eventually finding hope and acceptance. The production stars Jeff Maris as Robert, Cassie Klahn as Catherine, Cathy Bohan as Claire, and Kris Kielich as Hal and is directed by Tom Durham. Proof runs on the following dates: May 12, 13, 14, 20, 21 at 8 p.m. and May 15 and 22 at 2 p.m. at the Mongerson Theater at Springville Center for the Arts. The show is rated PG-13. Tickets are $10 for students and seniors, $12 for general admission, and are available by calling (716) 592-9038 or at SpringvilleArts.org for tickets.
