Big Weekend in EVL Sky High Opens, HV Hosts Happy Half

May 6 Sky High opens May 7 Happy Half & 5K Holiday Valley

By Alicia Dziak

Come on, get happy! All the happenings at Holiday Valley this weekend are sure bring a smile to your face. On Friday, May 6, Sky High’s Aerial Park and Climbing Forest open for the season. If you’ve never checked it out before, a trip to Sky High is an experience you won’t soon forget. The Aerial Park is comprised of a series of platforms and bridges in a four-acre section of the woods near the Tannenbaum Lodge. The platforms are built in the trees, connected by zip lines and “bridges,” a term that is used loosely to describe the hanging chunks of wood, ladders and other challenging obstacles that get you from one place to the next. The Aerial Park boasts 13 courses with varying levels of difficulty. The more difficult the course, the higher up it is in the trees. There are three easiest yellow courses (Sunflower, Sunshine and Snapdragon), five slightly harder greens (Forest Run, Mountain Trail, Grand Rapids I and Grand Rapids II and Fern Gully), two moderate blues (Waterfall and Rip Tide), two difficult single black diamonds (Black Storm and Black Widow) and one most difficult double black diamond, The Commando, featuring a giant spider web. All courses except Commando have at least one zip line and some have several. Grand Rapids is a dual zip line course that allows Sky High trekkers to go from the park to the base via two sets of six side-by-

On Saturday, May 7 alone, there are two notable annual events happening in the park—the Allegany Adventure Run and I Love My Park Day. Hit the trails at the annual Allegany Adventure Run. The race lets competitors choose from 6K, 13K and 27K distances, all leading through the rolling hills of the Art Roscoe Trail system, featuring wide, multi-use trails deep in the Allegheny National Forest that consist of mainly non-technical multi-use trails for mountain biking, hiking and running. See ASP page 5

Choosing the Right Clothes for Your Workout

By Kim Duke, NETA & AAFA Certified Trainer

While many people want to look good while they exercise, your workout clothes should be less about fashion and more about comfort and fit. What you wear can impact the success of your workout. Wearing the right clothing can be the difference between an enjoyable workout and an hour of misery. And investing in some stylish, yet comfortable, workout clothing is the perfect motivation to get you moving, whether you’re hitting the gym, heading for the hills or exercising in the comfort of your own home. The big mistake I see new clients make is wearing a cotton T-shirt to workout. Instead, try wearing a shirt designed to draw sweat away from the body and move it to the outer surface. These “wicking” clothes (also called technical or performance fabrics) are usually made of

polyester and/or Lycra blends. They may cost more than your average cotton T-shirt, but they’ll also last longer and keep you comfortable. Proper workout attire doesn’t stop with your shirt. Cotton socks can also trap moisture and cause blisters, while a polyester-blend sock may help prevent them. Shorts, gloves, hats, running tights, sports bras, workout pants—even underwear—are also available in performance fabrics. Avoid any rough fabrics that could chafe or irritate your skin during repetitive movement. Choose materials that let you move and don’t constrict you. Pay closer attention to fit than size, as some workout clothes tend to be smaller and more form-fitting than regular clothes. Look for items that have a small percentage of spandex listed on the label. This allows for a greater range of motion during exercise and can provide a very comfortable fit without being skin-tight. If you’re going to be perspiring a lot, make sure your base layer will keep you dry and comfortable. Look for a polyester/ Lycra blend or another synthetic material. These materials keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer—even when wet—and dry quickly. If you prefer natural materials, wool and bamboo exercise shirts naturally wick away moisture, too.

ECS Sports Schedule

While you might be tempted to hide beneath baggy layers, you will feel more confident and sure of yourself if you wear an outfit that looks good on you and plays up your assets. If you feel good about yourself, you’ll be inclined to exercise more often. Clothing trends change for workout wear too, but the basics never go out of style. Add one or two more trendy pieces to your wardrobe (such as a performance T-shirt in this season’s “hot” color) but keep your classic black yoga pants that are timeless. Baggy pants aren’t feasible for cycling or spinning, and flowing tops won’t keep you covered when you do downward dog in yoga class. Consider the activities you do most, and make sure the clothes you buy are comfortable and appropriate for that activity. Most people can’t go wrong with fitted workout Capri pants and a fitted performance top, but always try on clothes before you buy—and try a few of your signature workout moves in the dressing room to be sure. The more frequently you exercise, the more important it is to wear the right kind of clothing. Aside from keeping you comfortable, dry and cool, the right outfit also makes you feel like a million bucks—find pieces that flatter your figure so you can hit the gym in style!

published in the May ECS Newsletter are reprinted here with permission. Carl Calarco My name is Carl Calarco. I am a 1989 graduate of Ellicottville Central School (ECS). I currently reside at 7100 Kent Road in the Town of Mansfield, along with my wife Kelly, our two children Allison and Christopher, and our two dogs Sasha and Buster. Both of my children attend ECS, where Allison is an eighth grader and Christopher a fourth grader. My wife Kelly has been an elementary school teacher for the past 18 years, and is currently employed by the Salamanca City School District. I am a licensed professional engineer, and have been working in the civil/environmental consulting field for the past 20 years. I currently own and operate CRC Engineering and Land Surveying, PLLC. In 2011, you voted me in to my first ever term on the Board of Education. I must admit I was a bit nervous at the time as I had no idea what to expect, but I knew it was important for me to be involved in the education of my children. Having had a father that taught at ECS for 34 years, I was taught, and realized over time, the importance of education and am now trying to instill that importance into my own children. Being part of the Board has allowed me to be involved with not only the education of my children, but I have been able to be a part of this great educational progress that benefits all of our children. The past five years have been exciting and incredibly rewarding. I have come to realize first-hand what a great, and very special district we have. The list of achievements continues to grow year after year, and can be attributed directly to the talented and dedicated staff at ECS, and to our great community. Look at any school district in this country, and the highest performing districts are the ones with the most community support. Our community support has been unprecedented, and the results are quite evident. I am more driven than ever to do what I can to help our district maintain its high level of standards and expectations. We have achieved so many great things, but there is much more to be done. As such, I would very much like to continue my work on the Board of Education, and ask for your vote on May 17, 2016. Thank you. Donnald Hensel I am excited about the success and opportunities the Ellicottville Central School District has given my children and those of our entire community. I would like to serve on the board to help continue that success, but I believe we must be mindful there are some long term concerns we must address. My wife Lori who is a 1985 graduate of ECS and I have lived in Great Valley since 2003. Our children Ginna, who is in 9th grade and Charlie, who is in 5th attend ECS. While we have only lived here for 13

years, my grandfather and his brothers owned and operated several farms in the 1950s and 1960s in Great Valley. I also trace my roots in the community to the Klawitter’s which is on my grandmother’s side of the family. I hold a Bachelors degree from the University of Pittsburgh and a Masters of Science in Educational Administration from St. Bonaventure. I taught business and marketing education for 13 years in Salamanca before becoming the senior high school principal. I later served as elementary principal for 7 years before retiring this past January. I am a certified and licensed school building (principal) and district (Superintendent) administrator. Previously I owned several businesses in Salamanca including Broad St. Plaza. I have been associated with Recckio Real Estate and Development, which is a commercial real estate broker in Williamsville, since 1999. As a parent of enrolled children, a taxpayer, former small business owner and education professional I have concerns about the long-term fiscal health of our district as impacted by New York State. The unfunded mandates are not only unfair but create a layer of failed policy that hurts students, teachers and impacts taxpayers. I am concerned about the failure of New York State to update the Common Core curriculum rollout with the over use of testing that has no clear diagnostic purpose. I know our students and teachers want and will support honest testing that provide meaningful feedback to help them do a better job. I am concerned about the declining enrollment of students in our district and region. I do not believe taxpayers can support 700 different school districts and over 20 different districts in our two counties. Yet we have to remain cautious to keep ECS independent. Finally, I think term limits for board membership is essential. I believe five year terms are too long and there should be limits to the number of terms any one citizen can serve. Having new citizens serve on a regular basis is the best way to create accountability. I also want to make a full disclosure. That if given the privilege to be elected, I will be absent from the July meetings due to prior family commitment. However, I will be in attendance as scheduled through the rest of the school year. I want to thank the voters for considering my interest and I appreciate their support for all of the children and the betterment of our community. Robert Van Wicklin Bob Van Wicklin brings more than 20 years of government service and almost a decade of higher education administration experience to his candidacy for a seat on the Ellicottville School Board. He lives in the Town of Ellicottville with his wife Melanie, and daughter Samantha, an ECS 8th grader.

“Local control by dedicated members of our community on the board is critical to the continued success of Ellicottville Central School and its students, faculty, staff and administration,” Van Wicklin said. “Ellicottville is a tremendous school, and I would be honored to join the board to help ensure that our students are getting the best education possible to prepare them for life after high school -- whether it’s college or a job -- while introducing them to life-long pursuits such as music, the arts and athletics. We need to do all of this while making sure that we are efficient and good stewards of the tax payers’ money. My experience has prepared me to do this and I am up for the challenge.” Van Wicklin is currently Vice President for University Advancement at St. Bonaventure University where he manages the departments of development and alumni relations, and is a member of the President’s Cabinet. He previously served as Vice President at Houghton College and as Assistant Dean at the University at Buffalo, where he was also elected to represent UB on the State University of New York’s Faculty Senate. Prior to his work in higher education, Van Wicklin served as a staff member to two United States Congressmen who represented Ellicottville and the Southern Tier of New York in the U.S. House of Representatives in Washington, D.C. for 17 years. He started as foreign affairs and defense advisor and went on to serve as legislative director, press secretary and chief of staff to both Members of Congress. During his tenure, he traveled to more than 60 nations on official business with the U.S. government. Van Wicklin, a veteran of the war in Afghanistan, was an intelligence officer in the United States Navy Reserve for nine years, including tours of duty at the Pentagon and the Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center, home of the Top Gun flight school in Fallon, Nevada. He was mobilized to Mazar-e Sharif, Afghanistan from March to September of 2014. Van Wicklin serves and has served on several professional boards in Washington, D.C. and New York, and has twice been a Top 10 fundraiser in the annual Ride for Roswell Park Cancer Institute, in which he has participated with his daughter, Sammi, for the past five years. He earned a Bachelor’s of Arts degree in International Studies and Political Science from Houghton College and a Master’s of Arts degree in National Security and Strategic Studies from the U.S. Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island. Van Wicklin has been endorsed in his run for the Ellicottville school board by former U.S. Congressman Amo Houghton, current U.S. Congressman Tom Reed, New York State Senator Cathy Young and New York State Assemblymen Joe Giglio and Phil Palmesano.

All races start/finish near the Summit area inside the Red House section of the park. The 6K, with a 10 a.m. start, is a fun, slightly hilly trek around Sweetwater Trail. The 13K, starting at 9:45 a.m. encompasses Sweetwater, Christian Hollow and Leonard Run. The new 27K, starting at 9:30 a.m., follows the same starting route as the 13K, followed by a trek down Ridge run and the new Thunder Run single track trail, up Patterson for the twomile climbing finish. Course markings direct runners on all distances and marshals will be posted at certain intersections. Water stations will be located roughly at miles 1.5, 5, 7.5 and 13. The Adventure Run is a rain or shine event, featuring a canopy of trees throughout the trail system that supports our rain/shine policy and kicks off the trail running season for those willing to accept the challenge. Race day registration and packet pickup starts at 8 a.m. at the Summit Ski Lodge. Following the race, there will be a post-race lunch, snacks and great door prizes

from our amazing sponsors. Awards will be given for Overall Male, Female and Masters for each distance. Medals will be awarded to the top three in 10-year age groups for all distances. In addition the first 300 participants receive 2016 finishers pins. The Allegany Adventure Run helps support the Allegany Nordic Ski Patrol and the local Volunteer Fire Company. While online registration is now closed, race day registration is available. Stop into the Summit Warming Hut starting at 8 a.m. and get in on the fun, breathe in some fresh air, get your workout in, and enjoy an action-packed day at the park! More info at www. heartrateup.com.

May 7 is also your chance to show ASP some love by participating in the annual “I Love My Park Day,” a statewide event where volunteers give back by helping with various park improvement projects in the park. This event, sponsored by State Parks and Parks and Trails New York, will be spearheaded by The Friends of Allegany State Park in cooperation with park staff. This year’s event will be held in the Quaker Area. Volunteer projects will focus mainly on cabin trail clean up, with some other small site improvement projects, such as gardening, painting and minor repairs. Check in/registration on May 7 is from 9-10 a.m. at the Quaker Picnic Shelter. Projects will be worked on from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Volunteers are asked to bring a snack, dress for the weather and prepare to get dirty. A volunteer picnic afterward at the Quaker Picnic Shelter will be offered for a nominal fee. Interested participants should pre-register for I Love My Park Day at www.ptny. org/ilovemypark. For more information, contact the Allegany State Park Recreation Department at (716) 354-9101 ext. 236.

side zip lines. The sixth and final zip travels down across the Tannenbaum base area to finish next to the Tannenbaum Lodge. Safety always comes first, and everyone wears a harness (200 new ones were purchased this year!) with a special locking lanyard that safeguards you from falling if you slip or let go. Children must be at least 7 years old, and all guests must be able to perform certain physical tasks to participate. There is a weight limit of 250 pounds. The Climbing Forest, also located in the woods by Tannenbaum Lodge, is like a 3D version of a rock wall. Climbers are harnessed in and sent to climb their choice of 10 trees outfitted with color-coded climbing holds, with difficulty ranging from very easy (yellow) to very challenging (purple). Minimum age is 5. In addition, locals can enjoy awesome savings on Friday, May 20, which is same day that the Sky Flyer Mountain Coaster opens for the season. Grab your deal for only $10 for a 3-hour climb in the Aerial Park, or $12 for the Aerial Park and a coaster ride.

Both the Aerial Park and Climbing Forest are open May 6-June 12, Fridays-Sundays, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Reservations are required on weekends and suggested for weekdays at the Aerial Park, call (716) 699HIGH. More info at www. holidayvalley.com/skyhigh. The all-new Happy Half, 5K and Beer Mile are ready to put a perma-smile on your face when they hit Holiday Valley on Saturday, May 7. The half marathon begins at 10 a.m. at Holiday Valley. The course leads runners north through scenic, lightly traveled, rural roads and a great atmosphere. Intersections will be controlled by the local Police and County Sheriff Departments to ensure a safe experience for all participants. The race ends back at the resort. The 5K, which starts at 10:20 a.m., also begins and ends at Holiday Valley. The course route takes runners out on 219, left at Brewers Cross Road and then back again. The sure-to-be-a-blast Beer Mile challenges participants to drink a beer (Southern Tier Hop Sun), run a quarter mile, and repeat three more times, for a total of one mile and

four beers. If you’re up for something with a little less of both, grab a friend and take part in the Beer-lay instead, where you and a teammate each drink two beers and run a half mile. The course heads around HV’s parking lots. Following the races will be an after-party in the Main Lodge, sponsored by Southern Tier Brewing. Runners will also get specially priced lodging packages at the Inn, plus coupons in their goodie bags for Sky High Climbing Forest and the Holiday Valley pool.

Happy Mothers Day!

Recovery program, a breast cancer support service, pairs patients with volunteers who will talk with them about coping with their breast cancer through their diagnosis and treatments. Many patients lose some or all of their hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes while undergoing treatment, and the Look Good, Feel Better program addresses these appearance-related side effects of cancer. According to Morris, “Licensed cosmetologists provide free workshops to any cancer patient and present them with a makeup kit to use at home. We have workshops at WCA Hospital in Jamestown, several in the Buffalo area, and one opening in Olean. We also have Mary’s Wig Room in our Amherst office where cancer patients can go to receive a free wig. We can also mail wigs directly to patients’ homes if they are unable to travel.” At Hope Lodge, patients and their families have a free place to stay while undergoing treatments away from home. Many Cattaraugus County residents travel to Buffalo for cancer treatments, including Morris’ friend, whose mother was receiving cancer treatments there over the course of several weeks. Morris explained that both her friend and her mother were able to stay at Hope Lodge and, “The burden lifted off her shoulders by having a free place to stay and home cooked meals daily was priceless to her. She has often wondered how they would have made it through without that support. Her experience at Hope Lodge and with the ACS has actually inspired her to start a new Relay team this year to help pay it forward. She is looking forward to walking next to her mother around that track!” Relay for Life began in Cattaraugus County in 1997 in Olean, and it was then that Great Valley resident Priscilla Snider first became involved as a team member. Snider, who was inspired by friends and family diagnosed with cancer, has been a part of Relay every year since, eventually becoming a team leader, committee member, and co-chair person for the event. In 2012, Snider, herself, was diagnosed with cancer, and was recognized as an honorary survivor of the year in 2013. Although Snider did not need all of the services provided by ACS, she is a firm believer in the local impact these services have. “I was fortunate that I

responded well to treatments right here in Olean. Because I was able to drive myself to radiation, I didn’t need to take advantage of Ride to Recovery. I didn’t lose all of my hair, so I didn’t need the wig program, but I think it’s so important that these services are available in this area!” At Snider’s first radiation appointment, her doctors asked if her contact information could be shared with the ACS, which then reaches out to individuals diagnosed with cancer to offer free local services. “Where I really did benefit from the ACS would be through the money raised for research grants. I was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, and there’s still not as much known about this cancer. I didn’t know anyone else who had it before I was diagnosed,” explained Snider. As Morris pointed out, “No single nongovernmental, not-for-profit organization in the United States has invested more to find the causes and cures of cancer than the ACS. We have research grants all over the US including several right here in Western New York.” More information about the ACS’ cancer research can be found on their website: www.cancer.org. Both Morris and Snider emphasize the most local impact of the ACS: their 1-800227-2345 phone number, which provides help from the comfort of one’s home. Morris explained, “This phone number is staffed 24 hours a day/365 days a year by trained Cancer Information Specialists that include Oncology Nurses. This number connects patients to our National Cancer Information Center which virtually points them to all services and help available to them. This includes any and all information regarding specific cancers, treatment options, side effects, coping with cancer, clinical trials, preventions, services, local programs, and more.” There’s still time to get involved with this year’s Relay for Life event! Charlesworth invites everyone to join a Relay for Life team or start their own at www.relayforlife. org/thefairgroundsny. Those unable to participate during the event can also visit this website to donate to any one of the teams or individuals taking part in the Little Valley Relay for Life. “It’s a great family event,” said Snider, “and new participants are always welcome!”

four million people in over 20 countries raise money through Relay for Life; although the combined effort of these participants has a global impact on the fight against cancer, the local impact of funds raised for ACS is immeasurable. The free services the ACS offers those diagnosed with cancer right here in Cattaraugus County is as local as one’s living room. This year, Relay for Life has moved from its past location at Ellicottville Central School to the fairgrounds for the first time. According to Randolph resident Heather Morris, Community Manager of Relay for Life for both Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties, “As with any communitydriven fundraising event, we are always looking for ways to include more people into the cause. We are excited that this new Relay For Life of The Fairgrounds will be able to include all surrounding areas, including Ellicottville, in a centralized location.” Sherry Charlesworth, who is the Relay for Life of The Fairgrounds Event Leader and Leader of Team Walk This Way, is excited about the opportunities this new location affords. In addition to having more parking and handicap accessibility, moving to the fairgrounds is a key step in achieving the goal of involving the communities of Cattaraugus, Ellicottville, Franklinville, Gowanda, Little Valley, Perrysburg, Randolph, Salamanca, Springville, West Valley, and every community in between. The first Relay for Life event was held in 1985 in Tacoma, WA, when Dr. Gordy Klatt walked and ran for 24 hours around a track and raised $27,000 to help the ACS. Since then, Relay for Life has been held in communities big and small all around the country, as nearly everyone has been affected by cancer in some way. For many, participating in Relay is a matter of personal importance, as it is for Morris, whose sister was diagnosed with melanoma several years ago. While most are aware of the oncology appointments, surgeries, and chemotherapy and radiation treatments that are a vital part of battling cancer, what many are unaware of are the “behind the scenes” local services that the ACS provides--services that Morris is eager to share. The Ride to Recovery program provides transportation to and from treatments, and the Reach to

Corporate Headquarters Return to Ellicottville The owners of North Park Innovations Group, Inc. are proud to announce that the headquarters for this business has returned to Ellicottville. Owned by Bill and Lori Northrup, this business manufactures the newest, high-tech HVACR product lines developed by Stride Tool, the hand tool manufacturing business that was founded in Western New York 36 years ago. The Northrups sold the legacy hand tool lines of Stride Tool to new ownership in early April. That part of

the company will keep the Stride Tool name, continuing with full operations in the Glenwillow, Ohio facility. It will be managed by CEO Ron Ortiz, who has been a friend of the company for many years. The retained high-tech products lines, the iManifold, an award-winning diagnostic platform, and the industrial training units, are both used in the HVACR industry. This part of the business has been renamed “North Park Innovations Group, Inc.” and is headquartered in Ellicottville, where all manufacturing,

customer service, accounting and administrative functions are based. Several new employees have been hired in recent weeks, joining the team that has been operating in Ellicottville for years. A satellite development facility in Independence, OH houses the software development and new product design team. Sales employees are presently based in California, Nevada, Arizona and Texas, with additional sales positions opening soon in all regions. “We are so pleased to bring this high-tech business back to Ellicottville, our home town,” says Bill Northrup, CEO.

EVGV Trail Continued from front page

access to reliable, safe and affordable transportation for communities, both urban and rural. The EVGV Trail will create a connecting network between businesses, the local schools, shopping, restaurants and more, in addition to providing recreational opportunities, via a safe, traffic-free trail. The committee chose to apply for 100 percent of the project, $1.8 million, as suggested by New York State Department of Transportation (DOT). In addition, a new round of New York State DOT funding via the (Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) will be available this year. The first submitted TAP application did not result in funding, but the trail committee remains hopeful and will apply in this next round. During the May 2 meeting of the EVGV Trail, Matt McAndrew, supervisor of the Town of Ellicottville, officially joined the committee. The possibility of widening County Road 17 (Sugartown Road) to add bike lanes was also discussed. McAndrew said if funding could be found, then it may be possible to work with

the county to accomplish this road work. To continue to market the trail and raise awareness about the future EVGV Trail, the committee discussed plans to participate in the new Outdoor Expo in Ellicottville the weekend of June 3. A portion of the event will take place at the pond on Route 219 near Tim Hortons, which is very close to the EVGV Trail trailhead. This would create a wonderful opportunity to disseminate educational information to Expo participants, locals and other visitors. After a conversation with Terry Fuller at Ellicottville BOCES, Trail committee member Ken Hinman reported that BOCES will be able to saw the materials needed to build the trailhead at the Town Center location for a donation. Hinman has been pricing the material for the trailhead, which ranges between $1,800 and $2,000. The town will also be looking into moving the dumpster located at the Town Center for better placement. The next meeting of the EVGV Trail committee is scheduled for June 6 at 3:30 p.m.

ELLICOTTVILLE LANDSCAPING

by Jack Kramer

The Surest Sign of Spring By David Schaut, Master Gardener, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Allegany County

Nothing signals the arrival of spring more clearly and emphatically than the appearance of dandelions. There is a bit of excitement when you drive down a country road and pass a field of bright, green grass and thousands of bright yellow dandelions. Your excitement might not be shared by the owner of the field, however. Dandelions. The name comes from the French dentde-lion, or lion’s tooth, and are native to North America and Eurasia. They are found nearly everywhere in the U.S., except in deserts, wetlands, and at high elevations. The plants begin to bloom in our area in late April, depending on the severity of the winter and are an early source of food for bees. The dandelion originally evolved 30 million years ago in Eurasia and has been used by humans for food and as an herbal remedy for much of recorded history. Today there are 60 species of dandelion. The plant is very versatile as a food and is a source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well calcium, potassium, iron, and manganese. The leaves can be eaten raw in salads or boiled. The blooms can be used to make wine. The root can be roasted and ground into a caffeine-free coffee substitute. It is also an ingredient in root beer and the British soft drink, dandelion and burdock. As an herb, all parts of the dandelion have been used in history for disorders, ranging from digestion, liver, kidney

“We’ve got gas” and it is considered a diuretic. One species, the Russian dandelion, produces a rubberlike sap. It was cultivated during World War II in Russia and the U.S. as a rubber substitute, though it only yields about 10 percent of what rubber plants do. There is a recent resurgence in interest in the species due to blight affecting conventional rubber plants and changes in land use. Despite the dandelion’s long history and its usefulness, few gardeners or lawn owners are fond of it. Many go to great lengths to rid their property of the plant. Strategies for eradicating the plant depend on how many you have. You can simply dig up lone dandelions. It is important that you dig up all of the plant; the tap root of a mature dandelion can be as long as 12 inches. Any part of the root left behind will likely regenerate. When you have a few— too many to dig up or pull— you can pour boiling water or spray a 5 percent vinegar solution directly on the plants.

Spreading corn gluten meal four to six weeks before the plants appear is supposed to prevent growth (though determining when to spread the meal might be tricky). You can also use mulch to smother them or a garden torch to burn them out. Chickens and rabbits are fond of dandelions. If you can move their pens, they can help control dandelions. If you have a big yard and lots of dandelions, the best way to control them is to mow before the blossoms go to seed. Overseeding your lawn, to crowd out the dandelions, is another strategy. It also works against other weeds and improves the appearance of your lawn. No matter what method you use, remember that you will likely be doing it again next spring. Dandelions produce lots of seeds which are carried by the wind. Even if you get rid of all that are in your yard, it’s likely that someone down the road won’t been as diligent as you.

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor: As a primary care physician and president of the Bertrand Chaffee Hospital Medical Staff, I am writing this letter to express my dismay and disbelief about a recent decision of the New York State Department of Health to deny Bertrand Chaffee Hospital’s application through the Essential Health Care Provider Support Program. Bertrand Chaffee Hospital’s application outlined $7.6 million in projects over three years to invest in local healthcare services. This request pales in comparison to the awards given to other rural hospitals in WNY – some with direct financial connections to Pennsylvania-based corporations. BCH asked for a fraction of what Brooks/TLC, Wyoming County Community Health System, and WCA received ($57 million, $20 million and $26 million, respectively). For BCH to receive no support through this process is blatantly unfair, if not politically obscene. Instead of assisting Bertrand Chaffee Hospital’s efforts to preserve local health services, New York State made the decision to deem BCH as non-essential, and consequently bypass the healthcare needs of this community. For a supposedly non-political funding process, quite a few state legislators lined up to take credit when tax money funneled into their districts. It appears that my tax dollars – and your tax dollars – are supporting other communities and their hospitals. Bertrand Chaffee Hospital is my hospital, and my hospital matters to me. I have a deep concern for my patients’ health, but I also have a responsibility to the public health interests of this community. We don’t need to look further than the children of Flint, Michigan to see how the failure of a state government to invest in communities can have profound health consequences. It seems like our community is too small to matter in the funding calculations made by politicians. New York State may have turned its back on Bertrand Chaffee Hospital, but my colleagues at my hospital will continue to honor our responsibilities to you. As a community we need to stand together and prevent our local hospital from being ignored in future investment of our state taxes. Sincerely, William J. Wnuk, MD President, Bertrand Chaffee Hospital Medical Staff
