Mudslide and Paddlefest June 17
Upcoming Events
By Alicia Dziak
Competition? Obstacles? Mud? Bring it on! The annual Mudslide makes its way back to Holiday Valley this weekend, June 17. Get ready for some fun! Competitors can choose from two distances—a 3.5 mile or a 5.4 mile course. Both courses start by Spruce Lake and racers even get a ride up the Spruce chairlift to the starting line. From there, runners must navigate 11 obstacles, ending with the famous mudslide down the bottom of the Yodeler slope. As always, HV has some new things on the docket for this year’s race. “Some new obstacles include the double barrel just before the mudslide and a bubble bath after the slide,” said Jane Eshbaugh, Holiday Valley’s Marketing Director. She also added that, “The long course is changed with runners going down the ropes, with a teeter totter and tube obstacle. There’s still plenty of MUD!” According to Eshbaugh, the Mudslide is different than other area obstacles races in that it offers “fun obstacles that are not like torture (barbed wire, fire or carrying bags of cement), and the number of runners is just right – not too many so it is too crowded and hard to park and not too few so there are lots of other people to laugh with.” The event will start in waves of 100 people per wave at 10 a.m. from Spruce Lake, beginning with the long course runners. A ride to the start on the Spruce Lake chairlift is included in the entry fee.

Proposed Code of Ethics EVL Yurts and Recreation Opening Soon Stirs up Village Board
See Mudslide & Paddlefest page 2
By Caitlin Croft
This month’s regularly scheduled Village Board meeting opened with a Public Hearing on the new proposed Code of Ethics (CoE). This proposed CoE is almost identical to the one adopted by the Town of Ellicottville back in 2012. New York State mandated that all municipalities adopt a CoE, yet the Village has failed to comply. Before the April 2017 Village Board Meeting, it had come to attention of Mayor John Burrell that it was necessary to adopt one. At this meeting, Burrell presented the Town CoE to the trustees for their review and to discuss at the May 2017 meeting. During the May 2017 meeting, newest Board Trustee Spencer Murray presented a revised CoE that he drafted himself. The draft, he said, is essentially the same as the town’s law except for Article VII about Recusal and Appointments. In Murray’s version, the ability to appoint

Ward Looks Back Continued from front page
from Ellicottville in 1971. I went to St. Bonaventure and I came back after graduating to fill in as a long-term sub for a maternity leave from 1975-1976. Then the teacher got pregnant again and took a second year off. When she was finally going to come back, I was not going to have a job. The superintendent at the time was C. Clifford McLain, and he said to me, ‘Mark, my advice to you is make yourself indispensable.’ I’ll never forget those words. And then the board created another history position and I remained on for another eight years. ET: Why did you end up leaving Ellicottville Schools at one point, and then coming back? MW: I was here for 24 1/2 years until February of 2000. In 1998, the superintendent retired. I applied for the job, but did not get the job. I wanted to be a superintendent and it was clear that I was going to have to leave here to do it at that time. I got the job at Salamanca and was superintendent until August of 2004, and then I got the Superintendency of Olean City Schools until the end of 2008. In the fall of 2007, Pat Haynes, the former superintendent here, announced she was retiring. A few board members from ECS contacted me and asked if I would consider coming home. We worked it out so I could come home. I probably was a better administrator by having gone to other districts and coming back here. Sometimes you just don’t have the staffing at smaller schools that you do at bigger ones, so I think becoming an administrator through a small school prepares you for the challenges of bigger schools. I was involved in everything. In a big district, you might be a principal but you wouldn’t even be near a superintendent so you wouldn’t get that district level experience, where at a small school you do. ET: What does the Ellicottville school system mean to you? MW: I went to school here, my daughter graduated from here in 2005, so all that time [that I was working at other schools] I was still coming back as a parent. I’ve been a student, a teacher, a coach, a principal, a parent and then ultimately, a superintendent. I even met Barb, my wife, here in the old gym in January of 1976. The school really has a slew of meaningful things for me. It’s sort of been the centerpiece of my life. It never was a job, it was a way of life. There were very few days that I came here that I didn’t enjoy being here. ET: What do you think has made you a successful superintendent during your time at ECS? MW: I’ve had such great opportunities with the boards I’ve worked with and for, and the great teachers. If anything, I want to be remembered for hiring good people. I feel I’ve always been a good judge of people. I’m proud of the people I’ve hired. It’s sort of a legacy because it’s a people business. People make the school great. That’s something I do think I’ve been good at. I’m very good at people. I’m easy to talk to. My interviews are like that too. I’ve always prided myself
in that. ET: What are some of the most important decisions that you’ve been a part of at the school? MW: In 1986, we passed the elementary wing and built that. Before that, we had portable classrooms. That was exciting to build that. This capital project, the new gym and weight room and performing arts portion of the gym— it’s wonderful that we were able to do it. It’s an exceptional school. We rank high in Western New York. We’ve improved over the time I’ve been here, but we were solid before I came. It’s a community that supports the school and that allows us to have small class sizes and have the best of technology so that we can pay our teachers a fair wage. ET: What do you think has changed the most in your 42 years as an educator? MW: The family has changed the most of any one factor. It’s more challenging than it used to be. Forty years ago, the father worked; the mother didn’t. It was like Leave it to Beaver or Mayberry. Life was simpler. Obviously, all the inventions and technology are a blessing and a curse. It’s a blessing because of the wonderful things we can do to it, but sometimes it become a detriment to kids communicating and interacting. ET: What’s one of the most challenging things that you’d encourage the district to keep working on? MW: Sometimes the support may not always be there [from the parents] and sometimes that’s because students who are now parents didn’t have a good experience in school. We need to continually work on building relationships with our families and our parents. I think that’s one of the things education needs to stress. We need to help parents understand that we are all on the same team. We are all pulling for that kid. Everybody wants the best for the child. Sometimes maybe we don’t always express ourselves the way that we should and I think that’s one of the ways we could improve. If those parents and families trust us and believe in us, we can go so far. ET: What makes the Ellicottville district so special? MW: We have around 200 kids that are open enrolled. People bring their children here because I think they feel that it’s a good school; that it’s safe, that we have a good staff, a good caring staff. It’s a family. It’s not just one thing. I think it’s the staff, whether it’s a cafeteria worker, bus driver, teacher aid – I don’t care what role you play in the organization, the people make it. The bus drivers are kind to the kids in the morning and make them feel like they are going to have a good day. We have high expectations for our staff and we have a staff that I think really responds to that. I think there’s a lot of factors that make the place special in my mind and in my heart. ET: What made you decide that it was finally time to retire? MW: There were things we wanted to do. I’d like to spent some time in the south in Florida in the winter. I’d like to perfect my golf game, which isn’t very good. You don’t
know how long you’re going to live and be healthy. I’ve had a good number of my friends who have retired and it didn’t last too long. You see others in your circle of age and I think you have to be ready. I feel I am ready. I think it’s a feeling you get. I can’t really tell you what it is. I’m ready not to deal with certain things. I’m ready to try some different things. I’d like to get the garden going and read more. ET: What do you think you’ll do during your retirement? MW: So many people ask me what I’m going to do. To some degree, I’m not sure on that. I think I’m just going to have to feel my way through it. I don’t want another job. I’ve been blessed to be in a profession where you have a retirement. I feel it’s time now for Barb and I to do more things that we can do together. I’ve had a great career. I’ll miss it, there’s no question. I can’t possibly have done this for this long and been this involved to just walk out of here on Friday the 30th. And then comes Monday - that’s going to be the weird part. The even more difficult part will be September. ET: How do you think Bob Miller will lead as the superintendent going forward? MW: Bob is ready for the job. He’s going to be an excellent replacement. He knows the district and he’s well respected. He holds many of the same values that I do, but he has his own, too. He will lead in his own style and he will be his own person and he will do an excellent job. I have faith in his ability to take the district to the next level. Any place should be continuously improving. If the organization is the way it should be, it will just keep going, and ECS will for many years to come. ET: What would you say to students who are thinking about a career in education? MW: I would encourage them to get involved. I don’t think there’s a more rewarding profession than education. You’re dealing with the future. You have a chance to work with young people to guide them to get them to think, to encourage them. Every single child is a little different and that makes it fun, but also exasperating sometimes. They’re going to screw up and make mistakes. Some are going to be easy to deal with and others will be a nightmare, but that’s all part of it. I think that’s what makes it neat. We need great teachers. We need administrators and leaders for the next generations of children. When you have a kid come back and tell you how much you meant to them or how you impacted their life … it’s pretty special. Not every field is like that. If you’re cut out for it, I would encourage anyone to get involved because the rewards far exceed the disappointments. ET: How would you sum up your career? MW: I’ve had a great career. I’ve had wonderful opportunities. It sure has been a great ride. It’s been a wonderful journey and I’ve had so many blessings that who do I thank? There are so many people that have touched my life. If I could do it all over again, I wouldn’t do a single thing differently.

Continued from front page
While yurts have popped up in some NY state campgrounds in recent years, having them so close to Ellicottville makes it easier than ever to experience such a thing. Evl Yurts and Recreation Owner Justin Dineen grew up in Ellicottville and moved back after living out west for some time. While out west, Dineen spent a lot of time around yurts and at National Parks, and wanted to bring the idea back home. “There’s nothing like this around here,” Dineen said. Dineen spent months looking for just the right property, and found it in 2014 when a realtor told him about the parcel along Route 219. “The for sale sign was in the weeds,” Dineen said of his discovery of the property. From there, the not-so-small task of clearing the land began. Thick brush was cleared to make way for a driveway and small parking lot, as well as the sites themselves, and careful consideration was taken when doing so. “It was strategically cleared,” Dineen said of integrating the sites with the natural beauty of the property. “We pride ourselves on keeping the integrity of the land,” added Cait Geary, Administrative and Creative Director. Phase 1 of the project included the driveway, parking lot, constructing a small office building with sleeping quarters, and clearing four sites, two of which will house yurts and two of which can be used as rec
areas or tent sites. A common fire pit is set slightly away from the camp sites and is meant to encourage community among campers. “We want people to come as strangers and leave as friends,” Geary explained, noting that their motto is “Come alone, come together, come as you are.” The first of two yurts is up and the site is appropriately called “Yurtopia.” It is a 16-ft. yurt with a dome on top and two large windows that create a nice cross-breeze when open. While the yurt is currently unfurnished, in the very near future, it will hold a set of perpendicular-style, full size bunks, a table and chairs and a dresser. A path connects this yurt with a rec area (for games like giant Yahtzee and Kan Jam) and the second yurt, that if all goes as planned, will be up by summer’s end. The second yurt will be slightly smaller at 14 feet and hold one queen size bed. “Having the yurts here completes the outdoor experience of Ellicottville,” said Geary of their close proximity to all of the outdoor activities just a few short miles away. The yurts and sites are primitive, meaning there is no electric, no running water and no septic. (There is a portapotty on the property for guest use.) Dineen emphasized how wonderful Jay and Patty Curtis of J & P Construction were
to work with. “They did an amazing job,” he said of their work on the driveway. He also complimented Chris Bishop Contracting for their building work and the Ellicottville Town Board, who was “very easy to work with.” “No corners were cut,” he stressed. Phase 2 of the project, which Dineen hopes to work toward over the next few years, will be putting up several more yurts on top of the hill behind the current yurt and parking lot. He also hopes to eventually build his own home up there among winding trails through the woods. For now, EVL Yurts and Recreation will be a seasonal place to camp, with Dineen targeting the weekend after Fall Festival as the closing date, weather-dependent. Down the road, he hopes to keep it open year-round. Rates are $60 for a yurt, $25 for a tent site or $200 to rent the entire 13-acre property for the night. While they are not taking reservations just yet, Dineen hopes to be open in early July. Stay tuned to their Facebook page (www. facebook.com/EllicottvilleYurts-and-Recreation) for reservation and other info. Make your plans for a stay in the beautiful Ellicottville wilderness this summer or fall. Yurts, tent sites, trails, games and a campfire—what could be better? “We’ll provide the space and you make it what you want!” Dineen said.

Code of Ethics
Ellicottville Times
Continued from front page
someone to a position who has a conflict of interest with the appointee is deemed nonethical and the official must recuse themselves on any appointment, discussion or vote; this applies to businesses as well as individuals. The Town’s version only includes the recusal portion, not the appointment. The Public Hearing brought a handful of people to speak their minds at the meeting. The two main questions of the public were, one: why has it taken five years for this to be addressed and two: why now? Burrell advised he was unaware of there not being a CoE and when he realized, he presented the Town’s version which he helped see into place during his time as Town Supervisor. There are some on the board that feel this urgent need to put in place a CoE is due to the Mayor’s recent appointment of his wife Sheila Burrell to the Village Planning Board; a decision which three members of the Board do not support. There were two possible candidates and Burrell chose his nomination based on 30+ years of experience. Burrell stands by his choice and noted that no matter which CoE is adopted, his appointment could stand because it was made prior to adopting a CoE. Seeing as the board will not confirm her appointment, Sheila Burrell will serve on the VPB as a “hold-over” until the Board can come to an agreement, which could be dragged out until the end of Mayor Burrell’s term in 2020. In addition, Burrell feels if Murray’s version is to be adopted it must go to Public Referendum and the Village residents must vote it in. This advice comes from the New York Conference of Mayors (NYCOM) and attorney Charles Malcomb of Hodgson Russ. Kathleen Moriarty has advised that NYCOM has given two opposing opinions on the matter. After the explanation from the Board, John Rounds of Adventure Bound on the Fly
expressed his concern that it has come to this; the Mayor going against the majority of his board over an appointment based on technicalities. Nick Pitillio of Villaggio was in agreement, and feels if there is a matter closely connected to a board member in the village, that common sense should prevail and they would recuse themselves and/or not make an appointment that has a conflict of interest. In good news, the Village received a Mortgage Tax Check for $5,997.04 which is 8.2 percent greater than budgeted. Andison vs. Village case regarding the build at 35 W. Washington was dismissed due to the petition being filed outside the 30-day statue of limitations. Last month, the Village chose a new Insurance provider and Murray negotiated the price down another $605. Burrell then gave his Mayor’s Report. During May and the beginning of June, he attended the following meetings: Consolidated Funding Application Workshop (two meetings), New York Conference of Mayors, Local Government Conference, Cattaraugus County Municipal Officials Association Meeting, Countywide Shared Services Initiative Meeting and WNY Southtowns Scenic Byway Meeting. There was also a fruitful meeting with the Grants Writer, who is working hard on several grants but needs to work with some local businesses to increase our odds of receiving the various grants. The Village Board has referred the Rezoning Petition from Christopher Perks to the Planning Board in a motion made regarding the property at 5 Park Avenue. The Department of Public Works was very busy this week cleaning up the Village, hot patching Monroe and Mechanic Streets, along with putting out the newly repaired benches and various other tasks. Harold Morton, long time employee of the DPW, will be retiring in August of 2017.
In Engineering, there was a motion to accept the plan for Still House Brewery. New Code Enforcement Officer Kelly Fredrickson has updated the report given to the board monthly. The board was pleased with the new format and thanked him for his time redoing it. In Village Parks business, the board is still waiting to hear about the grant that was applied for in regards to fixing up the baseball fields. The board has accepted the quote from Culpepper in the amount of $5,108.64 for new boards to replace the seats in the grandstand. The DPW will complete the demolition and installation of the new grandstand seats. Thirty of about 50 commemorative benches in the village have been restored and put into their spots for the summer months. The board plans on a new fee schedule for anyone who purchases new benches and a letter will be sent out to current owners in regards to future maintenance. In sidewalks, Murray will work in conjunction with Patra Lowes to look into better maintaining or removing the grass between the sidewalk and street that surround the trees. “It [the grass] doesn’t grow and the mud looks horrible,” Murray stated. They will work with the Alley Katz to see if they have any ideas to remedy the situation. Village Clerk Mary Klahn brought up the issues with the current water rates in the village and complaints she has received. A motion was made to look at the water rates when the full-time village engineer is in place. The village approved the use of the village park to host the first ever Ellicottville Fall Lacrosse Tournament. The deal has been made and Ellicottville will host this tournament Sept. 22 – 24. The next meeting of the Village Board will be held at the Village Hall on July 10 at 6 p.m.
Summer Music Festival Presale Pricing Ends Soon
The Ellicottville Summer Music Festival is only two weeks away and tickets are going fast! Have you bought yours? You may want to get those tickets soon. Discounted presale ends June 18 at midnight! That’s right. Your ticket to see Grand Funk Railroad will increase by $10 if you wait until June 19 to get it. That Buffalo Philharmonic ticket is going to be that much more as well. Saturday night, July 1, the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of resident conductor Stafan Sanders, will perform some of the most loved tunes from pirates and princesses, some great music to get you moving your feet, and music choreographed to fireworks as they light up the sky. The annual patriotic spectacular is one that you are not going to want to miss. Sunday night, July 2, the stage will be home to the American Band, Grand Funk Railroad. In their fifth decade, Don Bewer and Mel Schacher will play host as music that spans the decades fills the air. The band is responsible for such hits as “We’re an American Band,” “The Locomotion,” “You’re My Captain,” and “Some Kind of Wonderful,” just to name a few. The current lineup of Grand Funk Railroad has been together for 17 years and is ready to help you relive those memories, and create new ones. Joining Brewer and Schacher are Bruce Kulick, formerly of KISS; Max Carl, formerly with Elton John, Bonnie Rait, Glen Frey, and Bette Midler; and Tim Cashion, formerly with Bob Seger and
the Silver Bullet Band, Robert Palmer, and John Secada. Opening for Grand Funk Railroad is Carl Dixon. Dixon’s powerful vocals, artistry and stage presence have put him at the forefront of the Canadian rock industry for three decades. As one of Canada’s most respected musicians, a prolific songwriter, he’s renowned as both a solo artist and front man of groups such as Coney Hatch, The Guess Who and April Wine. Throughout his career Dixon also toured with heavy metal icons such as Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Triumph, Ted Nugent, Accept, and Krokus. Along with all the great music at Holiday Valley, the Village will be bustling with activity all weekend as well. The fun starts Friday with the first Ellicottville Stroll the Streets, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Walk through the village and take in the sights, sounds, and smells that make Ellicottville great. During this first event of the 12-week series you may be greeted with stilt walkers, giant bubbles, even chalk drawing. There may be music on the streets. On Jefferson Street, between the Village Hall and the Post Office, the annual arts and Crafts show will take place both Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. On
Saturday morning at 11, pets of all kinds will stroll up the street from Katy’s Café’s new location at 38 Washington Street to the Village Gazebo for the world-famous Ellicottville Pet Parade. If you want to show off your pet, register at Katy’s at 10:30. Everyone gets a prize. Come out to the gazebo from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday to hear some great music from the Theresa Quinn Trio. Quinn has been a performer, music director and/or pianist for some of the best professional theatre companies in Buffalo, including Alleyway Theater, Buffalo State College Theater Department, Buffalo United Artists, Jewish Repertory Theatre, Musicalfare Theatre, O’Connell and Company, Shakespeare in Delaware Park, and the State University of Buffalo Theatre Department. She has been a member of numerous Artvoice award winning ensembles and productions. With all this going on, what more could you ask for? How about music in many of the local establishment? A full list of these bands, with times, will be available on the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce website at www.ellicottvilleny.com. Need to get those tickets before the price goes up? Tickets can be purchased online at www.Ellicottvilleny.com or come to the Chamber office at 9 West Washington Street, call us at (800)349-9099, head to a local Wegman’s, or even stop in at The Inn at Holiday Valley.

Randolph Arts and Crafts Fest June 17
By Mary Heyl
Looking for a fun way to enjoy the area this weekend? The Randolph Area Community Development Corporation (RACDC) is hosting its 45th Annual Arts and Crafts Festival on Saturday, June 17 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Dozens of craft and food vendors will line Main Street with their handmade wares and tasty treats, and a day of entertainment, contests, and raffles is sure to keep visitors busy. On Bank Street, dozens of food vendors will be set up, including new vendors and long time favorites. MJ’s Tavern, one of Randolph’s newest restaurants, will be set up with their popular “slammer burgers” and other goodies, like deep fried macaroni and cheese bites. New for the 2017 festival, MJ’s Tavern will also host a beer tent at the end of Bank Street. Other food vendors include Fowler’s Taffy and Franklin’s Kettle Corn, as well as Randolph Lions Club’s popular Italian sausage and burgers. Looking for a sweet treat? Get to the festival early for a delicious homemade Amish donut—available while they
last! Entertainment is a big part of the Arts & Crafts Festival. This year’s lineup includes a DJ who will be playing music throughout the day. At 1 p.m., Main Street will be taken over by Randolph’s Expressions Performing Arts Center’s dancers, who will be performing right on the street. New for 2017: the “Tree Guys” of Jamestown will be hosting a chainsaw carving expo! There’s lots to do for families and children, too. Sundance Farm Petting Zoo will be a part of the festival, and Eagle Dreams Rehabilitation will be set up with their live birds of prey display. The dunk tank, sponsored by Simply Natural Alpaca Gift Shop and Randolph Retail Company, will again be a part of the festival. New for 2017: get your portrait drawn by caricature artist Chris Schroeder of Erie, PA or get a beautiful design painted on your face by face painter Caren Hurlburt. Although the festival takes place along Main Street, there are plenty of activities taking place on Jamestown Street, which runs parallel to Main Street. At the Randolph Library, children’s author and
artist Barbara Gibbon will be signing copies of her newest book “Animal Homes ZXA: an Out of Order Alphabet Book” from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Next door, the Randolph Historical Society will be hosting a local history display about area churches over the decades. For those competitive visitors, the Arts and Crafts Festival promises several opportunities to get involved. The Dog Show, in which visitors can enter their dogs in one of the various categories for judging, is taking place at 11 a.m. All dog show entrants register at the RACDC information booth in front of Community Bank, N.A. beginning at 10:30 a.m. At noon on the front lawn of Senn-Sations Salon and Day Spa, the Beautiful Baby Contest will take place: all babies ages 12 months or younger are invited to participate in this fun event sponsored by Randolph’s favorite salon. Registration begins at 11 a.m. at the salon. Feeling lucky? Throughout the day, the RACDC will be selling raffle tickets for a brand new, John Deere D105 riding See Randolph Fest next page

This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. It is also available as a large print book using our interlibrary loan program.

at-home therapy service. For this, they will need a Special Use Permit only as there are no changes being made to the home. There were no comments from the public and the hearing was closed. The VPB made a motion to approve the Special Use Permit and it was passed on the condition all requirements are continued to be met. The next Public Hearing was on 8-10 Washington Street PB2017-05, which is a proposed Professional Office in one unit of the former Ellicottville Inn. Plans include opening the building’s original windows that had been bricked in, along with redoing the awning above the entrance. There were no comments from the public, but one correspondence had been received in favor of the project and its aim to restore the building back to its former glory. For this project, a Special Use Permit and Architectural Design Review were needed. No Site Plan is needed seeing as there are no changes to the site from the previous use. The board performed the SEQR review process and arrived at a negative declaration, or no negative impact. The Architectural Review and Special Use Permit we approved. The last Public Hearing was on the project at 16 Rockwell Avenue PB-201706, a proposed Accessory Apartment. This project will
need a Site Plan Review, Special Use Permit and Architectural Design Review. There will be a 133-sq. ft. addition, which will encompass an exterior entrance, stairway and laundry room. There will also putting on a deck made of pressure-treated wood that will be stained and sealed. The deck will be on the side facing the existing home. The ZBA granted the project two Area Variances to allow the deck within 15 feet of Park Avenue and the Floor Area Ratio to exceed the allowable limit. The Open Space requirement has been met. The VPB asked how parking would be handled because one bay of the garage will be lost. The applicant advised the apartment is for a family member and there will be a total of three parking
spaces which satisfied the VPB. A steel roof will be installed and the exterior will be white which will match the existing home. Lastly, there will be a new garage door. Unfortunately, the homeowner started construction before they were approved and a stop work order was given verbally. The homeowner claimed they thought they could start construction. The board has asked of them to consider a redesign of the enclosed stairwell and see a plan for parking added. A motion was made an approved to table this matter until the July 2017 meeting. In New Business, a Home Occupation has been proposed at 54 Mill Street PB-201707. This would be an inhome hair salon operated by Jennifer Powers. All parts of the application have been completed and a Public Hearing has been set for July 13, 2017. Last, a projecting sign for the new Tee Bar, located in the former Katy’s Café location, was approved on the condition that it is hung eight feet above the ground. The next work session of the Village Planning Board is set for Thursday, July 6 at 4:30 p.m. due to the 4th of July Holiday. The next meeting of the Village Planning Board will be Thursday, July 13 at 5:30 p.m. Both meetings will be held at the Village Hall.

Send the Kids to Camp This Summer
By Jessie Schwartz
Calling all kids about to begin an awesome 2017 summer vacation! Calling all parents looking for cool opportunities for their kiddos to stay active and challenged this summer! Have you considered one of the many summer camp opportunities in the area? Over the next few months, in Olean and Allegany, there are three great day camps being offered to kids of all ages and interests. Jamestown Community College’s Olean Campus is once again offering their popular “Kids’ College” courses daily, beginning July 10 and running through Aug. 3. Children from ages 6-14 years can develop an individualized ‘class’ schedule that reflects all they wish the regular school year could be! There are many interesting and fun topics to explore and develop already-established interests and talents, as well as the opportunity to dive into subjects your child wants to begin to learn more about. There are courses on candle making, cooking, outdoor survival, drama, music and scrapbooking in addition to popular themed classes called Minecraft and Hogwart’s Academy. For kids interested in the sciences, JCC has classes on cool lab experiments and chemical reactions, 3-D printing, veterinary science and K-9/Human relationships. For more information on course offerings, costs and class descriptions visit www. sunyjcc.edu/continuingeducation/youth-programs, call (716) 376-7506 or e-mail JaneNorthrup@mail. sunyjcc.edu. The Cattaraugus County Arts Council (CCAC) in Allegany has daytime and early evening art classes in July and August for kids aged 4-18 years. There are courses on basket making, gelatin printing and tin punching to encourage creativity and unique, one of a kind pieces of art! For teens, CCAC has ceramics classes to introduce young artists to wheel throwing techniques as well as the glazing process to achieve a beautifully finished masterpiece. For more information on CCAC’s youth and teen summer classes visit www.myartscouncil.net/ kids-classes The Dresser Rand Challenger Learning Center (DRCLC) at St. Bonaventure University has single and multiple day camps specifically designed for grade level space explorers throughout July and August. For younger children there are single day camps like “Moon Mania” and “Mars Mania”. Kids in 2nd-4th grades have
multiple day camps called “Color My World” and “CSI Spies” to choose from and for 5th graders and up there is the very popular “Rocket Camp”. For more information, including how to register and camp descriptions, log onto www.DRCLC.org. Kids interested in sports and spending a little more time away from home can choose from several area overnight camps geared toward sports. Every year, nearly 3500 students entering grades 1-12 attend summer camps at Houghton College. Summer sports camps include soccer, basketball, equestrian, tennis and volleyball. For more info, visit www.houghton.edu/ summer-camps. Darien Lake Residential Soccer Camp, July 31-Aug. 4, aims to create the ultimate camp experience by combining 30 hours of Global Premier Soccer professionally coached soccer tuition with all the thrill and fun of a Darien Lake vacation. For more info, visit www.gps-newyork.com.

This camp also includes lots of time for hiking, swimming and campfires. For more info, visit dunkirkcc. com/youth-summer. Let your kids connect with nature at Camp Turner, located inside Allegany State Park. This resident summer camp for boys and girls, from 7-16 years of age. CIT Program for campers age 15 and 16 (runs concurrently with sessions A and B). This is a two week program. While this is great preparation for future staff, you do not have to want to work here to enjoy this program; it’s chock full of great adventure. CITs experience a three day Backpacking Adventure, a trip to Sky High Adventure Park (High Ropes course), Stafffor-a-day program, plus some fun service and justice learning experiences. Participants are able to pursue all of our Awards Programs and clubs
during the second week. CITs and their leaders do laundry, go to mass, and out to supper on the weekend. Space is limited. Pathfinders Program for age 14 and 15 (Session C, D, E and F). In addition to all the regular clubs and activities, Pathfinders enjoy a cool trip each session, overnight sleep out (optional), more freedom, later wake-up and bedtimes and extra campfires. The Pathfinder program opens to 16 year old campers after June 1 if not full. Younger Campers (Session A) This is a structured, ‘group centered’ program designed especially for younger, first time or nervous campers. Campers visit each activity area with their cabin group (same approximate age and gender) once in a week. Activities include Horses, Nature, Foxfire, Games-inthe-woods, Archery, Arts and Crafts, and Low Ropes. They also have hikes, campfires, sing-alongs, Club Periods (when they get to choose their activity individually) a beach trip and much more. There are no Awards programs to study for or fret over. Competition is much more limited during this session. The session is capped at 80 campers and the staff ratio is a tight 1:8 in all areas. Traditional Camping Program, ages 8 – 14, sessions B, C, D, E, F. Begin your day with morning prayer, flag raising, breakfast and cabin inspection. Then choose from a wide variety of clubs and activities all day long. Choose a week long awards club like Horsemanship, Naturalist, Axe-man-ship, or Survivalist. Enter an archery tournament or a 3 on 3 basketball tournament or a volleyball game on our sand volleyball court. Sign up for a half-day hike to the Bear Caves, a trip to Thunder Rocks, a trip to the beach or a sleep out (always optional). Go to the dance and the bonfire. Visit the Canteen.

Healthy Summertime Habits
By Kim Duke, NETA & AAFA Certified Trainer
Summertime! A glorious time of year ~ a season filled with vacations, weddings, barbeques and other warm weather activities that make it easy to forget about our healthy habits. This time of year can be filled with opportunities to over eat and over drink and over expose ourselves to the sun. The best way to reduce the risk of the problems related to the “overs” is to make your healthy habits habitual. Kind of like brushing your teeth or applying sunscreen before heading out to the pool, these are habits that are typically automatic. Healthy habits should be automatic too. You know if you do not brush your teeth, you risk getting a cavity. If you do not apply sunscreen, you risk getting burned. If you spend the majority of your summer over eating or drinking too many unhealthy beverages, you risk a host of unwelcome experiences, not to mention weight gain. One of the best ways to make a new habit is to repeat the behavior. A great way to start a wanted habit is to write
it down. Since healthy habits means creating more than one, write up a short list. This will allow you to see what you need to do, and even check them off as you get them done on a daily basis. Once it becomes part of your lifestyle, this to-do list will become part of your routine. Let’s start with EATING REAL. Summer is one of the best times to enjoy ideal health foods. Peaches, plums and berries all have healthy properties and should be included in salads, on the grill or in hand. Vegetables are also plentiful and fresh during the summer months. Enjoy them raw or grilled to experience their fine flavor and texture. I would place HYDRATE on the list next. In the heat, your body naturally loses essential minerals due to sweating. These fluids need to be replaced or you will experience fatigue, cramps and exhaustion. Drinking filtered water throughout the day will definitely alleviate this problem. Sports drinks and soda should be avoided,
especially if your activity level is low. Those drinks contain sodium and sugar/sugar substitute— both are caloric beasts that wreck havoc on your systems. Thirdly, I would put EXERCISE on that list. Summertime is the best time to get outside and play! Go hiking, swimming or running. Throw a frisbee, take a walk or get on your bike. Just get outside and move. Include your family to encourage healthy habits for all…a family that plays together, stays together. Finally, SLEEP…resist the urge to stay up too late during long summer days. Create a sleep routine, keeping bedtime and wake up time regulated. Avoid drinking alcohol within three hours of your bedtime. Shoot for a full eight hours. So, what are you waiting for? Write up your list and post it in your home so you are reminded of these simple routines everyday. Your summer will still be full of fun and your body will thank you by feeling fantastic!

Plans for 23 Washington Street Modified and Get Planning Board Approval
By Caitlin Croft
The project that has caused much controversy at 23 Washington Street, PB-2017-02 has modified its plans and addressed all concerns brought up by the public in the March 2017 Public Hearing. Previously proposed was a 480-sq. ft. three-story addition to the rear of the building that was to include an elevator and stairwell. The rear existing portion of the building was to be reworked with matching brick to fit the aesthetic of the village. Also, the front Alpine style deck was to be replaced and expanded over the sidewalk and will return the building to a period aesthetic in compliance with Section 11 guidelines of the Village Law. This project was to also include the renovation and addition of a 3rd floor that will be used for either retail or restaurant space and will include a 42-inch high wall around the top. These plans have been removed and the developer will work within the footprint of the existing building. The only new parts of the project are a 20’ x 24’ deck off the second floor and a patio off the first floor. Because the addition has been removed, it is no longer necessary for Vogt to obtain a Zoning Variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals. Vogt also no longer needs a Special Use Permit, as there will no longer be a change in use. The State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) was performed and found to have no negative impact, therefore giving it a negative declaration. A motion was made and passed on the Site Plan and Architectural Design Review with the following conditions: adjacent properties must be notified of the construction phases and they must comply with the Section 11 guidelines and maintain the integrity of the Historic District. There were three Public Hearings held, the first regarding a Home Occupation at 11 Rockwell Avenue PB-2017-04. The applicant, Darlene Allen, plans to open an See Planning Board page 8
CCSE Federal Credit Union Returns as Gazebo Series Sponsor
Once again, Thursday nights will be filled with music from the gazebo in Ellicottville. The Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce presents the newest edition of the Gazebo Series, sponsored by CCSE Federal Credit Union. The concerts take place in the gazebo on Thursdays from 7 to 9 p.m. and are rain or shine. The series kicks off as a prelude to the 2017 Summer Music Festival on June 29, with the Rock, Pop, and Oldies Dance sounds of The Buffalo Five featuring Carolyn Lamson. The five-piece has the set list range from Gloria Gaynor, Etta James, and CCR to Bruno Mars, Steve Miller Band, and Tom Petty, even s little White Stripes! On July 6, Miller and the Other Sinners take the Gazebo. Miller and the Other Sinners is a nationally touring Southern Rock band from Buffalo. Their sound blends delta grit and Memphis soul with some great sounds of the south. A week later, July 13, the Black and Blues Band will be in the gazebo. The Buffalobased band bills itself as one of the hardest working Blues/Funk/Classic Rock cover bands. They perform songs originally done by B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Stevie Ray Vaugh and so many more. Returning to the gazebo from their stellar performance in 2016, Old Hippies will take the stage on July 20 with their acoustic music from many, many generations. These musicians are here to have fun, and to make sure you do as well! On July 27, Black Rock Zydeco takes to the stage with a traditional sounds of the Louisiana swamps, back with the Cajon and Creole, Black Rock Zydeco brings the party that’s been associated with the music through it’s Mardi Gras roots to the great dance rhythms. The energetic sounds will have you up and dancing in the square. Lady Rush & the Vinyls will be in town on Aug. 3 with their funk and Soul band performs soul oldies with a good mix of impromptu mixes of pop covers. The band is on a tour ranging from New York City back to the Buffalo area this spring, and hitting Ellicottville in the summer. They have their own album of originals out that is well worth the listen. You have to see them live to appreciate the sound, though. Closing the series this year is a special Friday night show on Aug. 11 at 8 p.m., when Shake on the Lake performs arguably the most famous story of star-crossed lovers. Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce is bringing it to town this summer. Co-sponsored by the Cattaraugus County Arts Council, William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet will be featured in the gazebo lawn. The play will be performed by Shake on the Lake, a Silver Lake, NY, based Shakespearian troupe that has been bringing the Bard’s pieces to Western and Central New York since 2012. Performance Breakout • June 29: The Buffalo Five featuring Carolyn Lamson • July 6: Miller and the Other Sinners • July 13: Black & Blues Band • July 20: Old Hippies • July 27: Black Rock Zydeco • Aug. 3: Lady Rush & the Vinyls • Aug. 11: Shake on the Lake, Presented by the Cattaraugus County Arts Council.

Fiddle Fest Returns July 29
By Derek M. Otto
The sixth annual Fiddler’s Green Fiddle and Bluegrass festival returns to Springville on July 29. The festival, which started as part of the 2012 Town of Concord Bicentennial celebration, will once again bring rustic music and flare to downtown Springville. The festival highlights the early beginnings of Springville when it was known as
Fiddler’s Green. In those days, from 1810 onward, residents from all around the Holland Purchase came to play music and dance in the area’s natural grove; the remnants of this grove is Fiddler’s Green Park. A Colonial Encampment by the Fiddler’s Green Militia will be set up in Fiddler’s Green Park. Music will be provided at two major venues—the Concord Mercantile General
Store and the Gazebo at Fiddler’s Green Park. The following bands will be at the Mercantile: 11:30 a.m. to noon, WNY Fiddle Kids; noon to 2 p.m., Rearview Ramblers; 2:30 to 4 p.m. Blue Mule Band; 4:30 to 6 p.m. Niagara Frontier Fiddlers. At the Fiddler’s Green gazebo: 11 to 11:45 a.m. Mercantile Musicians; noon to 1:30 p.m., The Hick-Ups; 2 to 3:30 p.m. Sunset Bluegrass Band; 4:00 to 5:30 p.m. Hintz of Thunder. To go along with the music, there will be a course in clogging throughout the day at the Concord Town Hall at 86 Franklin Street with an intermediate clogging workshop between 9:30 and 12:30, a learn to clog session at 1:30 p.m. and another intermediate clogging workshop at 2 p.m.

To the right is the Western House, or Carl Seider’s bar, as it looked in 1936 and 1937 when Harry Prentice stated that he was there for most of the day on October 7, 1936. Is one of the Dodge coupes parked out front Harry Prentice’s? Evidence pointed to Prentice as a suspect in the murder of Christina Mary Jureller. His alibi was being at Carl Seider’s bar most of the day. By Derek M. Otto
The recent grisly discovery of human skeletal remains nearby in the town of North Collins is a reminder of a time more than 80 years ago when a similar discovery was made.

New Dental Office Open for Business
Let’s face it—going to the dentist can be stressful for many people. But Joseph Rumfola, DDS hopes to make it a more positive and convenient experience by offering his expertise in a beautiful new facility right here in Springville. Rumfola was the valedictorian of the SGI class of 1994 and the salutatorian of his graduating dental school class. After completing his residency at the dental school, he returned home to open his own dental practice, where he has been since 2003.
While Rumfola recently moved his office, his patients should not have any trouble finding the new building. That’s because he moved into a newly-built space right next
door at 396 Waverly Street. The dentist office was previously housed on the basement level of the neighboring insurance agency. See Rumfola Office page 8

Letter from the Editor
When I was younger, my friends would often tell me they wished their dad was like mine. I always had the fun Dad. He was constantly making up games, building elaborate snow forts with us, teaching us to play every sport under the sun. He built us a huge soccer goal out of PVC pipe. He turned the driveway into a seasonal hockey rink. He had a basketball court put in at the house AFTER all of us kids moved out. My whole life and even now, my Dad worked hard. He’s an attorney right here in Springville, and would work many evenings and weekends. However, that didn’t mean he wasn’t around for us. He would work his schedule around every important event we had going on. Once, he took a month off from work (which is hard for anyone, let alone a busy lawyer) and took the family on a cross country road trip because that’s what his dad did when he was a kid and he wanted us to have the same experience. When I was in high school, he never missed a soccer or basketball game of mine—home or away, he was at every single one. When I got to college, he would drop everything if I needed him. One time, I freaked out (probably mostly of embarrassment) because my car died on campus, so he left Springville that moment, drove all the way to Rochester and towed my car back to Holland to have it looked at by his guy. No matter what else he had or still has going on, he always made us feel like we were the most important thing in his life. When I had kids, my Dad continued to do all of the same things, and even today, he makes sure he’s at games, birthdays, concerts and all the important moments. And he still makes up the best games for his kids and grandkids alike! Dads make our lives better. They protect us, they support us, they make us laugh. I don’t know where I’d be without mine. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there...and if you’re looking for some cool things to do with your dad this weekend, check out the article on page 1. - Alicia Dziak, Editor, Springville Times and Ellicottville Times

The Springville Center for the Arts Gala was held Saturday June 10, 2017 at the center’s Buffalo Street location. Patrons who bought a pre-sale ticket for $20 received a food ticket, allowing them to sample food from two food trucks, a game of nine-hole mini golf and endless drinks. The event also hosted several music groups, an art showing of View Finders photography and a Chinese/silent auction. Participants also had a chance
at the 50/50 golf ball drop. The center annual Milky Award is given out at the event as well. Congratulations to Gerry Hashagen for winning this year’s Milky Award. Commenting on Gerry, a spokesperson from the Center said, “We call Gerry Hashagen our stalwart volunteer. As Chair of the Presentation Committee and volunteer at just about every concert we have ever produced, Gerry is a critical component of the local arts scene here. He became

He’s so reliable he’ll probably be here long after we’re all gone.” The winner of this year’s ball drop was Elise Rose. I am sure she can use the money with a new baby just arriving. So, double congratulations to the Rose Family. If you missed this year’s event, try again next year— it is truly a good time for the money.

Jen’s Quill: Birthday Eve
By Jen Lee
My Birthday Eve has come and gone once again. The Birthday Eve is the most sacred of times, as long as you subtract the being sacred part. Completing this latest Birthday Eve, I am now the age of perfection. It took 33 years to get it right, but I got here finally. It has been a strong belief of mine that the Birthday is not important and doesn’t need to be celebrated. It’s the Birthday Eve that matters. First, you did nothing to be born; that was all your mother. On your birthday, you should be giving her a high five and giving her a present for doing all the hard work. BUT, your Birthday Eve? That’s all you! You survived a whole year of life without getting yourself killed – a feat that seems to be more and more difficult to achieve. Good job! Most importantly, the Birthday Eve is the absolute last day in your entire life to be young! Come the next day, you will be old. You’ll have a whole year to be that old. On your Birthday Eve, you are also an expert at being this age. You’ve spent the last year
doing just that, so this is the day to make count. Be crazy, go wild, live a little. Here are a few examples of how I have done just that. My 20th Birthday Eve. I was 19, my very last day to be a teenager. I HAD to go crazy. There was no getting out of this one. You are not even going to believe the wildness that I planned for myself. I had never TP’d anything before, no house, nothing. I figured this was it, this was my last chance to really live up my childhood before being an adult. I got a roll of toilet paper and I found my very calm, sweet, willjust-sit-there dog. Yes, I toilet papered my dog Jasmine. She was not happy, but I was living large! The very next year I really made Birthday Eve magic. It was my last year before I turned 21. What to do? Obviously, I drank waaaaaay too much orange juice, water, chocolate milk, and more water because, you know, it was the last day that I couldn’t drink alcohol legally! I realize now it is almost, if not THE, saddest story ever that I chose to just drink nonalcoholic beverages, but this is the girl who went to her mother sobbing uncontrollably because she said the word b*&%$ accidentally in first grade, not even knowing what it meant. So really, to me, I was once again going crazy. My most daredevil Birthday Eve moment was when I lived in Ohio. I was in a show and had been working and rehearsing all day and it was getting late. I had to think
of my big farewell to 25, and quick. My apartment complex had a pool. It closed at 10 p.m., and it was now 10:15 p.m. I wanted to jump in the pool with all my clothes on. That’s right, clothes and all. So, with jeans, socks, shirts, and hoodies, two friends and I took a running jump into the outdoor pool on the uncharacteristically cold June evening after pool hours. When you jump in a pool wearing tons of clothing on a cold night, several things happen…you get colder, and you are very wet and heavy. Just know that if this activity ends up on your Birthday Eve To Do list. So, my fellow countrymen. What did I do this year? How did I say farewell to my youth and my imperfection? Skydive? Maybe next Birthday Eve. Go up to as many strangers as possible and try to get them to high five me? Since I finally reached the age of perfection… 33…I took it upon myself to do as many things wrong in one day that I could…starting with waking up. I just didn’t. Well, I woke up then went back to sleep for a few hours while someone else watched my child. Then I ate a bunch of chocolate, which borders on being perfect, but I’ll classify it under lazy and glutonous. The next day I came out a glorious picture of perfection. A picture who had a stomach ache from all the chocolate. It was a perfect stomach ache though, and since I was 33, I handled it as a perfectionist would…with perfection and Tums.

Principled Leadership and Responsible Spending Hallmarks of Elect New Concord Campaign
Following the Concord Democratic Committee’s endorsement, the Elect New Concord candidates - William Krebs, Jon Hamann and Matthew Mayer - have begun their campaign to bring new leadership to town government. Krebs, who has served as village of Springville mayor since 2006, began thinking about moving into a town government role earlier this spring. “We’re going to be listening to residents and taking their concerns seriously during this campaign and through the next four years,” said Krebs. “I’ve received encouragement about running throughout the town and village and we are committed to reviving town government.“ He offered, “From park improvements to senior services, to preserving our agricultural heritage and protecting open spaces, we are ready to do the hard work of making Concord a better place to live, work, and play.” Jon Hamann will bring the perspective of a small business owner, parent and Morton’s Corners resident to his role as a town board member. “Town boards have a responsibility to taxpayers and residents for spending responsibly and extending essential services
like broadband access,” said Hamann. “Issues like that crucially impact small business development, and education.” Matt Mayer is new to the political arena, and family connections brought him to the Springville area. “I was raised in a small town and Concord has the same aspects that I loved about my upbringing,” said Mayer. “The sense of community that we have here makes Concord a terrific choice for my wife and I to raise our two children.” He explained, “And we need to work hard to make the community stronger. It is time for dialogue and action on important issues like responsible and transparent budgeting, renewable energy
and green infrastructure, and the opioid epidemic. “There is so much political division at the national level,” said Lacey Miller, Concord Democratic Committee chair. “This campaign effort is about bringing people together and opening up dialogue on issues that matter to residents of Concord. Our endorsed candidates are committed, engaged, and truly care about making our town and our town government better. For too long we’ve had uncontested elections and unengaged voters and it is time for new, responsive leadership.” Follow the Elect New Concord campaign at www. electnewconcord.com.

Ellicottville’s Summer Music Festival July 1-2
The Ellicottville Summer Music Festival is only two weeks away and tickets are going fast! Have you bought yours? You may want to get those tickets soon. Discounted presale ends June 18 at midnight! That’s right. Your ticket to see Grand Funk Railroad will increase by $10 if you wait until June 19 to get it. That Buffalo Philharmonic ticket is going to be that much more as well. Saturday night, July 1, the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of resident conductor Stafan Sanders, will perform some of the most loved tunes from pirates and princesses, some great music to get you moving your feet, and music choreographed to fireworks as they light up the sky. The annual patriotic spectacular is one that you are not going to want to miss. Sunday night, July 2, the stage will be home to the American Band, Grand Funk Railroad. In their fifth decade, Don Bewer and Mel Schacher will play host as music that spans the decades fills the air. The band is responsible for such hits as “We’re an American Band,” “The Locomotion,” “You’re My Captain,” and “Some Kind of Wonderful,” just to name a few. The current lineup of Grand Funk Railroad has been together for 17 years and is ready to help you relive those memories, and create new ones. Joining Brewer and Schacher are Bruce Kulick, formerly of KISS; Max Carl, formerly with Elton John, Bonnie Rait, Glen Frey, and Bette Midler; and Tim Cashion, formerly with Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band, Robert Palmer, and John Secada. Opening for Grand Funk Railroad is Carl Dixon. Dixon’s powerful vocals, artistry and stage presence have put him at the forefront of the Canadian
rock industry for three decades. As one of Canada’s most respected musicians, a prolific songwriter, he’s renowned as both a solo artist and front man of groups such as Coney Hatch, The Guess Who and April Wine. Throughout his career Dixon also toured with heavy metal icons such as Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Triumph, Ted Nugent, Accept, and Krokus. Along with all the great music at Holiday Valley, the Village of Ellicottville will be bustling with activity all weekend as well. The fun starts Friday with the first Ellicottville Stroll the Streets, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Walk through the village and take in the sights, sounds, and smells that make Ellicottville great.

If you want to show off your pet, register at Katy’s at
10:30 and be ready for the fun. Everyone gets a prize. Come out to the gazebo from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday to hear some great music from the Theresa Quinn Trio.

OBITUARY David Michael Garlock 1955-2017 David Michael Garlock of Springville, NY went home to be with his Lord on Thursday, June 8, 2017 at the age of 61. David was born on July 24, 1955 in Springville, NY. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from St. Bonaventure University. David’s business career started early, as he began working with his father at the Super Duper when he was seven years old. In 1977, he opened his first E-Z Shop in Springville and expanded the convenience store chain to include the surrounding areas over the next 30 years. At the time of his death, David was a Subway restaurant franchisee operating stores throughout the Southern tier. David married Mary Ann on July 10, 1982. Together they raised six children. He invested wholeheartedly in
his marriage, his children, and his grandchildren. David never passed up an opportunity to make memories with his family, always encouraging fun activities and adventures. In recent years, he most loved spending time on Lake Norman with his wife and family. David’s incredible faith was evident in every facet of his life. He was a man devoted to God, Scripture, and the furthering of the gospel of Jesus Christ. David continually sought ways to live his life as Christ did by placing others before himself in service and generosity. David is survived by his wife of 35 years, Mary Ann (Reedy) Garlock; his children Mallorie (Michael) Prinino, Benjamin (Kelsey) Garlock, Lucianna, Charles, Tina and Kelly Garlock; his treasured grandchildren William, Oliver, Milea, Lailah, and Annabelle;
brothers William (Diana) Garlock, Jr., and Robert (Deneen) Garlock, and sister Susan (Michael) Drennan; and was a beloved uncle to several nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents William, Sr. and Mitzi (Popp) Garlock, sister Linda (Joe) Borowski. In lieu of flowers, donations will be graciously accepted on the David Garlock Memorial page at www.generosity.com and donated to the ministries close to David’s heart. Visit www.generosity.com and search “David Garlock”.

The following is my retelling of the mystery from True Detective Mysteries, a national mysteries periodical from 1937. Before the television shows like America’s Most Wanted and Unsolved Mysteries, periodicals like True Detective Mysteries offered rewards for information leading to the solving of cold cases. In the 1930s, Southwestern Boulevard was the main East West corridor highway in Western New York; today it is US Route 20. The portion that ran through the Cattaraugus Reservation was very secluded. Native-Americans did not build up along the main highway preferring to stay deeper into the reservation. On a relatively warm Friday, October 9, 1936, George Wright, a toy maker, and Jack Ettinger, an employee, were driving along Southwestern Boulevard and decided to pull over on the side and have lunch. Being warm, they decided to walk back off the road to a shadier spot. While sitting there, one of the men noticed something white under some leaves, it was Ettinger who discovered the body and went back to the car to tell Mr. Wright. As reported: “What’s the trouble?” asked Wright of Ettinger. “I just saw a dead girl,” replied Ettinger. Without hesitation, the two drove to the nearest gas station. At the time, this was the White Horse Service Station. They called the State Police barracks at Wanakah. When the State Police arrived and made an as assessment of the situation, they realized that body was on the Cattaraugus Reservation. The Federal Bureau of Investigation would have to be notified. The Reservation was federal property; any crime committed on Federal Land was investigated by the FBI. While investigating the area around the body, trooped and G-Men, as FBI agents were called at the time, discovered that there was no struggle. Footprints in the hard clay soil matched the mysterious woman’s shoes. They found her hat underneath her body and blue tip matches were found around the body. There were also dust prints of heel marks on the lady’s dress. The fabric was cut off and sent to a lab in Washington. The body was sent to Buffalo for an autopsy. While the investigation continued, news flashes were sent around describing the body of the unknown woman: “She was five feet five inches stall, 120 lbs., grey eyes, dark brown bobbed hair; age twenty five to twenty eight… Dressed in a black coat, black dress, black stockings, black shoes and a black felt hat.” News also reported that she had two rings on her body— one with the initials CMJ and another with the initials SAS. Over 20 inquiries were made to view and identify the body at FBI headquarters in Buffalo, but to avail, no one could identify the body. At 10 o’clock that evening, a call from Springville came in a man by the name Leonard Jureller who said that the woman sounded like his sister, Christina Mary Jureller, and that she went to Saint Aloysius School in Springville. The family went to Buffalo to identify the body. Those who went were Mrs. Harry Prentice and Mrs. Sylvester Smith, married sisters of Christina.
They positively identified the body. The family said that Christina had left her residence at 39 Waverly Street, Springville, where she lived with her older sister, Edythe, and Edythe’s husband, Harry Prentice, on Wednesday morning, October 7, 1936. Harry had driven Christina to the railroad station in Springville, and she planned to visit her niece Ethel in Buffalo, and to visit another sister, Mrs. Kightlinger, in Salamanca. According to Ethel Prentice, she wrote her and told not to come. Mrs. Kightlinger said she had not made plans for her and was not expecting her. Christina’s mother, Mrs. Selzler, has been an invalid for two years and had no idea of Christina’s whereabouts. Investigators learned from the family that Christina “was a home girl. She never left the house for a date or was known to date any men. She only went out to go to church or the movies, sometimes she would visit the neighbors.” The investigators were confused from the autopsy. The thing they learned about Christina was that she was six months pregnant! The investigation would involve her brother-in-law, Harry Prentice, who was the last to see her in Springville. He said that he was in Springville all day helping Carl Seider at his bar, and then driving him and getting the car stuck in the mud, went home and ate, and then went back to the bar, stayed until 2:30 in the morning and drove Seider home. Investigators verified his alibis and he was clear. Other witnesses could positively identify Christina with a man in a dark colored coupe. Even though Harry Prentice had a coupe, it was a Dodge, and people remembered seeing a Ford. Even more startling was the fact that the dust imprints from the dress were from a man’s heel with a distinct star pattern. The G-men discovered that the Ohio manufacturer of the shoes determined that about 1,000 pairs were in the Buffalo region. Guess who had a pair? Harry Prentice. The plot thickened more when it was discovered that there was another sister, Helen Jureller, who had been living in New Canaan, CT with her sister and brother-in-law, Harry Prentice, in 1930. Prentice was a well known police officer in New Canaan. It was also known that he would follow Helen to and from work and even spy on her from a phone booth where she worked as a waitress and cook. The last time she was seen was when Harry Prentice dropped her off at the train station. To everyone’s surprise, she had been pregnant too. There was no evidence or investigation in New Canaan, and the Surrogate Court eventually declared Helen dead and her mother received $500 insurance payment. With all evidence pointing to Harry Prentice, no charges were ever filed. His alibis cleared and Christina’s mother died about a month after her disappearance, believing Christina died in a car accident. This lead to the article in True Detective Mysteries offering a $1000 reward for information. Today the mystery is still a cold case and all other players in the case are dead. With media coverage from Buffalo, Christina was interred in St. John’s Cemetery in Boston, NY.
