Boat and Bike Your Way to Fun This Summer

Upcoming Events Thursdays through August 4 Ellicottville Gazebo Series concerts

By Alicia Dziak

‘Tis the season to get out and enjoy the great outdoors! If you’re looking for more ways to enjoy summer in the Enchanted Mountains, boating and biking activities could be just the thing. There aren’t many activities as synonymous with warm weather as getting out on the water. While swimming is a great way to cool off, getting out in or on a watercraft can add variety to your daily water intake. Looking for a new kind of adventure? Try stand up paddleboarding! Stand up paddleboards (SUPs) are just what the name implies: surfboard-looking watercrafts that are designed for the rider to—you guessed it—stand up on, while using a paddle to get around. While the popularity seems to have soared recently, they’ve actually been around for quite some time. “We’ve been carrying SUPs for about seven years,” said Sean Lowes, owner of City Garage. City Garage at 5 Monroe St. in Ellicottville offers the Bic brand of SUPs. “Bic has been making paddleboards since the 1970s,” Lowes explained. In addition to traditional, hard-surfaced SUPs, City Garage also carries inflatable ones, which, according to manager Trey Clauss, “are easier to transport, and include a carrying bag and pump.” Adventure Bound On the Fly, located at 16 Washington St. carries several brands of SUPs and kayaks, including Hala Gear, Pau Hana, Wilderness Systems, Dagger, Perception, Ocean Kayaks,

EVL Trail Runs July 24

By Alicia Dziak

Are you seeking adventure, scenery and an awesome workout? Look no further than the EVL Trail Runs, hitting Holiday Valley on Sunday, July 24. The 2016 EVL-4 & EVL-

9 Trail Runs kick off from HV’s Mountain Sports Center at Holiday Valley Resort. Trail runners from several surrounding states come to experience technical trail running on wooded trails and single-track at this annual

stop on the Eastern Grip Trial Running Series. According to Mark Lawrence of HeartRateUp, who organizes the races, “The EVL Trail Runs attract 200300 entrants from several surrounding states that come to experience challenging courses and reasonable entry rates.” The EVL-4 is a 4.7-mile single lap trail race, with a 10 a.m. start. The course features roughly 700 vertical feet of climbing, single track, double track, trail descents and rock gardens. The EVL-9, with a 9:30 a.m. start, is an intermediate/ advanced level run that features 9.9 miles of trail

Route 219 SEIS Funding Approved July 7, 2016 -- Calling it a triumph for Cattaraugus County and Western New York, Senator Catharine Young said that the state Senate has secured a commitment from the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) to commence the environmental study necessary to restart work on U.S. Route 219.

The Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for Route 219 will be included in the state’s five-year transportation capital plan. The Senate has worked closely with NYSDOT and the Governor on establishing this agreement, which has the potential to bring jobs and economic opportunity to our region, according to Senator Young.

“Progress on Route 219 has been stalled since November of 2010, when we opened the Section 5 expressway and high-level bridge that spans Cattaraugus Creek in the town of Ashford. As Senate Finance Chair, I pushed for the environmental study to be included in the current five year road and bridge plan, See Route 219 page 8

Extra $90K in Engineering Fees Requested By Jann Wiswall

The Village board had a long and detailed discussion with Village Engineer Mike Smith about settling the final bills on the wastewater treatment plant at its meeting on Monday, July 11. While there are still some tasks to be completed, Smith explained that the general contractor and electrical contractor were proposing some change orders. Those orders, totaling $72,000, were approved by the board and will be paid to the contractors through the state grant received for the project. The board also approved extension See Village Board page 6

Red Cross Reports Critical Blood Shortage The American Red Cross issued an emergency appeal on July 5 asking eligible blood and platelet donors to give as soon as possible. Right now, Red Cross blood products are being distributed to hospitals faster than donations are coming in. Blood donations have fallen short of hospital needs for the past few months, resulting in about 39,000 fewer donations than what’s needed, as well as a significant draw-down of its overall blood supply. “We urge people to give now to help hospital patients who depend on blood and platelets being available when they need it,” said Chris Hrouda, executive vice president, Red Cross Biomedical Services. “Summer is one of the most challenging seasons to collect enough blood, but patients need blood no matter what time of year it is.” Over the Fourth of July weekend, the Red Cross had a tough time collecting enough blood donations. A recent survey of Red Cross blood donors showed more than 75 percent indicated vacation

plans this summer, many of them occurring the week before and after July 4. Nearly 650 fewer blood drives are held the week of July 4 than during an average week. That is approximately the equivalent of the Red Cross not collecting any blood donations for an entire day. However, patients do not get a summer holiday from needing blood. Eligible blood donors are urged to schedule a donation as

Bertrand Chaffee Hospital has announced that its Diabetes Education Program has been reaccredited by the American Association of Diabetes Educators for 2017. This program is one of nine accredited programs in western New York and the only hospital-based program in the southtowns and southern tier. BCH achieved

its initial accreditation in 2013; to maintain it, the program demonstrates quality standards and improvement in patient clinical and behavioral outcomes.

soon as possible. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in most states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood.

ECS’s Hunt, Paddock Receive Paul and Mary Janowicz Scholarship BCH Diabetes Education Program Reaccredited by American Assoc. of Diabetes Educators

Two Ellicottville Central School students recently received the Paul and Mary Janowicz Memorial Scholarship through the Cattaraugus Region Community Foundation. The Janowicz’s son-inlaw and daughter, Paul and Elizabeth Hanson, established the Paul and Mary Janowicz Memorial Fund with the foundation in 2014. Each year, the fund makes possible a scholarship for students at Ellicottville Central

School, where Ms. Janowicz served as a bus driver. The Paul and Mary Janowicz Memorial Scholarship is given to graduating seniors who demonstrated academic excellence and plan to attend a 2- or 4-year college. Kaleigh Hunt and Max Paddock each received a $500 scholarship. Hunt will be attending Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts to study Chemical Engineering. Paddock will pursue a degree in animation at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan. “Mary got to know many of the students while working in the Ellicottville Central School District,” said CRCF Executive Director Karen Niemic Buchheit. “I think she’d be very proud of the scholarship recipients and their

impressive accomplishments.” The Paul and Mary Janowicz Memorial Fund also makes possible annual contributions to the Great Valley Volunteer Fire Company, Olean Public Library and the Marie Lorenz Dialysis Center Fund at the Olean General Hospital Foundation. Donations to the Paul and Mary Janowicz Memorial Fund can be made at the CRCF, 301 North Union Street, Suite 203, or online at cattfoundation.org.

Gary Palumbo, noted that the building is a pre-existing, non-conforming structure due to the shape and placement of the building on the property. And as low-intensity offices, the use of the building also was determined to be nonconforming. As such, the board determined that parking requirements can be nonconforming and approved designation of three private parking spaces for the property. The board also felt that the new public parking spots on Martha Street make the parking manageable. The board placed one condition on the permit: plans for a retaining wall on the

property must be approved by the village engineer to ensure it will adequately control erosion and will leave enough space for the three approved parking spaces. Following approval of the permit, the board initiated a review of the architectural plans for the building. It was quickly noted that the plans are missing some necessary detail, such as specific selections of light fixtures, doors and a landscape plan. Silvernail said he would have that information available in time for the next planning board meeting. The next project on the agenda was an application for a special use permit and site

plan review for a three-car garage/accessory apartment at 22 Elizabeth Street. The board reviewed building size and useable open space requirements and determined the project meets zoning law standards and that the application was complete. The architectural plan also was approved with the condition that the east-side garage bay may be used for storage but not for vehicles because of the layout of the driveway. A public hearing on the project was scheduled for the next meeting on Tuesday, August 9 at 5:30 p.m. in the village/town hall.

OUTDOOR GEAR RENTALS • TOURS

Cruiser bikes and a variety of watercraft rentals are available at the Boathouse at Allegany State Park’s Red House Lake

Patagonia, Orvis, Osprey and their own brand, SUPonthefly. “The brands we carry are market leaders who design and build great products and back those products with fair warranties and great customer support,” noted Adventure Bound owner John Rounds, owner of Adventure Bound On the Fly. Clauss said that learning this sport is “not hard on the right type of water,” noting that “right” equates to “calm.” He said that SUPs come with an instructional video, but that the learning curve is very much a matter of trial and error. Adventure Bound in EVL offers introductory paddling classes for SUP and kayak, which are often included in their river tours (www.facebook.com/ AdventureBoundonthefly/ events), as well as custom/ private instruction by appointment. And just where do you go to get some SUP action? “We prefer Lake Erie, such as Evangola State Park or Hamburg Beach,” Lowes said, adding that the best times to go are “early morning or evening with low wind.” Rounds favors other local waterways, listing “Cattaraugus Creek (25 minutes from Ellicottville with beautiful gorge walls, waterfalls, hawks and eagles, the Allegheny River (30 minutes from Ellicottville, featuring scenic, flat-water stretches with an abundance of wildlife and dedicated put ins and take outs) and Kinzua Reservoir with wonderful coves to explore and very little light pollution so it’s an amazing place to see stars).” Of course, you don’t have to commit to purchasing a watercraft to enjoy it. Kayak and SUP rentals are available at Adventure Bound. They

also offer demos at its demo/ paddlecasting center (located behind EVL’s Tim Horton’s) weekly and by appointment throughout the week. “Providing the opportunity for people to paddle different boats as they are determining what boat or SUP is best for their needs is the only way to go when purchasing,” Rounds explained. You can also head to Allegany State Park (ASP), where you can rent SUPs and kayaks, along with row boats, paddle boats and canoes at the Red House Boathouse, located adjacent to Red House beach. Biking If staying on shore is more up your alley, how about a bike ride instead? The Red House Boathouse at ASP also offers cruiser bike rentals. Take the paved bike path around the lake and enjoy unmatched views of the park. You can also rent a cruiser at the all-new Ellicottville Bike Rentals (EBR), located at the Boardroom, right near Holiday Valley, or head to Bike N Bean, at 30 Washington Street, where you can pick up a local trail map to make sure you hit all the best spots. Spencer Timkey, co-owner of EBR, said they rent, “the Electra Townie cruiser, which we have in men’s, women’s and children’s sizing, has 7 speeds and is super easy to ride.

Audubon Nature Center’s July 30 Wild 5K Run/Walk Adds Awards Group Whatever your age, whether you like to run, or if walking is more your speed, there’s a spot for you at the Audubon Nature Center’s Wild 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, July 30. Thanks to requests from participants, a new age group has been added to this year’s competition. Now with a 70+ category for both walkers and runners, those 70 and older will no longer have to compete against 60-year-olds. Prizes will be awarded to the first three overall male and female walker and runner finishers. Age group awards will be given to the top three finishers in each for runners and top finisher in each for walkers. Age groups are 12 and under, 13-19, 20-29, 30-39, 4049, 50-59, 60-69, and 70+. The awards ceremony will begin at 10:30 a.m. for those who have finished. While Trackqua speeds up the registration process and provides chip-timed results, you can enjoy exceptional natural beauty and help restore and preserve an incredible woodland habitat. The 2016 event will highlight the woodlands that shade the trails. Proceeds support protecting the Nature Center’s over 600 acres of unique habitat that decreases flooding

in surrounding communities, purifies drinking water, and provides sanctuary to plants and animals of all shapes and sizes. Check-in and same-day registration is 8-8:45 a.m., with the race beginning at 9 a.m. Special free children’s events take place during the race. Runners and walkers who preregister by Monday, July 18 will receive an event t-shirt. Pre-registration fee is $20. The fee after July 18 or on race day is $25. Friends of the Nature Center receive a 10percent discount. To register, call (716) 569-2345 or visit www. wild5k.wordpress.com/ runnerswalkers. Event details, including the 2014 and 2015 results (on the News page), are at www. wild5k.wordpress.com.

Participants are invited to stay after their run/walk to tour the exhibits throughout the Nature Center building, browse the Blue Heron Gift Shop, and visit with Liberty, the non-releasable Bald Eagle, in her outdoor habitat. Volunteers are still needed to staff the water station, registration, refreshment and award tables, to serve as trail cheerleaders/direction pointers from before the start to the end of the race, and to help at the finish line. To volunteer, call (716) 569-2345 or visit www.wild5k.wordpress.com/ volunteer. Event sponsors include JCC Total Fitness, Weinberg Financial Group, Warren Midtown Motors, Arcade Senior Services, and Greg Mackie Appliances.

running, including double track, some gravel, tight-twisty single track and rock gardens using the same start/finish as its 4-mile counterpart. The EVL-9 covers roughly 1,200 feet of climbing using resort and state land trails. According to Lawrence, making its debut this year is “the addition of the new ‘flowtrail’ descent back to the finish line, sending runners crisscrossing across the mountain as they approach the finish line, adding a fresh, new section of safer trail.” “The flow trail starts at Spruce Lake and winds its way back and forth across the slopes to end at the Training Center,” added Jane Eshbaugh, Holiday Valley’s marketing director. It has an average 4 percent grade so it is quite gentle.” Competitors seem to enjoy the competition and location as well. “I ran the EVL Trail Run last

year for the first time mainly because I was completely burnt out on road races and wanted to try something different,” said Bryan Wiler of Springville. “Running on the road became mind-numbing for me and it’s safe to say I’ll never go back to it. Trail runs are better in every possible way — more challenging, better scenery, a more effective all-around workout as you climb hills, avoid rocks and roots, plow through mud and water. “The EVL race is excellent because there’s plenty of variation,” he added. “There are tough hill climbs, narrow single-track through the woods and some great downhills where you can really make up for lost time on the ascents. There’s strategy involved too. On the road you can always pass someone, but on a trail - especially one with a lot of narrow sections - you really have to pick your spots wisely.

Holiday Valley is simply a great location for a run too, which always helps.” Awards will be given in Overall Male/Female and Masters M/F in each distance. There will also be medals three deep in 10-year age groups for each event. A post-race party and door prize pool rounds out this action-packed day of trail running. Sound like fun? Sign up by July 17 before prices increase. Those pre-registered by July 17 are guaranteed a t-shirt (which will also be available on race day as long as they last.) The EVL Trail Runs help support HEART Animal Shelters. “All levels of runners are welcome to enter,” said Lawrence. “Two course distances offer routes for 4 and 9-mile challenges on wild and challenging single track terrain.” For more info, visit heartrateup.com.

of the project completion date to August 8, 2016. Smith, who in addition to serving as village engineer is president of Nussbaumer & Clarke, requested an additional $90,000 in fees to cover work still needed to complete the project. Nussbaumer & Clarke is the engineering firm hired by the Village to plan and oversee the wastewater treatment plant project several years ago. Smith said the additional work is related to tasks that were outside of the estimated scope of the project. He also noted that more inspections were required and the project took longer than expected. The original contract with N&C was for $474,000. All but $5,000 of that has been paid to the firm through the sewer department fund balance as budgeted. The board received the summary of tasks included in the additional fee during Monday’s meeting and tabled a decision to give them time to review the documents can be reviewed. The board also needs to find $90,000 to pay the bill if approved. It agreed to schedule a special meeting on July 26. In the meantime, Burrell asked Smith to prepare a careful valuation of the new plant for insurance reasons. In other business, Dominic Spicola, owner of the Winery of Ellicottville, would like to invite customers to taste or enjoy his local wines at outside tables in front of his building on Monroe Street in Ellicottville. To do so, the board last month asked Spicola to obtain information from the State Liquor Authority (SLA) regarding its rules. Spicola reported at the board’s Monday meeting that New York wineries are permitted to offer outdoor cafes for customers as long as some food is offered. Food must be offered inside as well. Spicola said the winery currently offers pretzels and crackers for wine tasting customers. There is no plan

to prepare food at the winery since it is not equipped to meet food preparation standards. The board asked Spicola to provide accurate, to-scale drawings of the outdoor area. Spicola must also complete SLA paperwork and obtain a permit. The board also discussed the fact that the villageowned sidewalk in front of the building needs repairs and curbs before a café can be opened, but the village does not have funds for that work in its current budget. Spicola, who hopes to open his outdoor cafe as soon as weather permits next spring or summer, offered to share the cost of the cement work with the village in order to make sure that happens. Spicola also is interested in building a balcony on the façade of his building. Though he has not yet commissioned drawings, he pointed out that footers will be required and should be constructed while the sidewalk work is being done. Mayor John Burrell said that the board will need to look at its existing regulations on balconies before Spicola invests in the idea. He also said the Village Planning Board would need to review architectural plans. The board pointed out that consideration of other businesses’ signage and visibility will be necessary. Short-Term Rentals The board was introduced to Gary Palumbo, the newly appointed village planner, by Planning Board Chair Nancy Rogan. Rogan also briefed the board on the planning board’s July 12 meeting agenda (see story, cover). In that context, Burrell brought to the board’s attention a suggestion from a village resident to consider amending or repealing the village’s law prohibiting less-than-30day rentals in the residential district. The owner, who is selling her home, says the law limits income potential for potential buyers.

Burrell pointed out that the village’s law on the matter not only prohibits such short-term rentals but also requires owners who rent their homes for more than 30 days to obtain an annual permit. They also must have an annual inspection by the village code enforcement officer (CEO) to check for smoke detectors, safety issues and set occupancy maximums. Few village property owners are aware of the law, however, and rent for a day or weekend or week, and often rent to far larger groups than should safely occupy a home. Village resident Sandy Reed, who had informally spoken with Burrell about the issue, noted in a letter she read for the record, that some properties are advertised to sleep 13, 15, 17 people. As a result, she said, “neighborhoods are inundated with rentals that come with a party atmosphere…and not all of the renters are discerning guests. I personally have had lawn furniture stolen and found smashed, lighting destroyed, shrubs pulled and trampled and music that rattles windows 18 of 24 hours. In the past, no one has been held accountable. Laws are on the books that cannot be enforced [and] when authorities are called, actions cease until they are out of sight and it all resumes.” The board agreed that the current situation is not equitable nor fair and the subject should be studied to see how other vacation communities handle shortterm rentals and enforcement. They also felt that additional public input is critical. Rogan suggested that the issue can be discussed as part of the board’s and planning board’s upcoming meeting on zoning law amendments on August 2. The board agreed. Village Park Progress The board approved a bid to refurbish the tennis and basketball courts at the Village Park. Work will begin in late July. The cost will be split by the town and village, although funds will be sought to offset the cost to taxpayers. In response to recent vandalism at the park, the board is researching installing security lighting and cameras. The board also is looking into designating part of the park as a fenced dog park. The next regular meeting of the Village board will be held on Monday, August 8 at 6 p.m.

The bad news? I’m in Vegas with the Eaton boys and I might need a little help with rent this month.” After I hung up, I thought I’d hit the ATM one last time. I knew there was no more money in my account, but in my delirious state, I thought maybe it would malfunction and spit out some cash. It did. A hundred dollar bill! I was back in the game. I knew I had to make something big happen, so I sat down at the Caribbean Stud table, arguably the worst odds in the casino. You get dealt five cards and try and beat the dealer. But there’s a progressive pot you can win if you hit a royal straight flush, and it was up to $100,000. A smaller straight flush paid ten percent of the jackpot. I chain smoked and drank at that table with that same hundred bucks for hours. I kept thinking to myself, four of a kind only pays $500. I need better than that. I need a straight flush. Finally, at approximately 6:15 a.m., I fanned my cards open to see the 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 of spades. I hit it. Straight flush. I immediately started crying. All the other dealers that we’d befriended that week rushed over and started high-fiving me. A pit boss came over, checked the cards, then called upstairs for the tape to be reviewed. It was good. I couldn’t believe it. It was almost as if I had willed it to happen. They gave it to me in cash. All hundreds. I tipped the dealer $500, then paid a security guard $40 just to walk me to our room. As soon as I opened the door I started screaming: “wake up!” and threw 500 bucks at each of them. I called my mother again, but this time the message was, “Hey Mom, it’s Brian. Yeah, disregard that last message. I just won $10,000 on one hand of poker!” I lived off that money for the next six months. In that time, I got my first manager, signed with my first acting agent and booked my first television appearance. That hundred dollar bill that miraculously came out of the ATM? That was from my rent check that hadn’t cleared yet. So what’s the moral of this story? Simple. When things are at their darkest and you’ve run out of all other options, turn to gambling. What do you have to lose?

TWO GREAT LOCATIONS!

I love to gamble. I hate losing money, but I adore the act of gambling. One of my earliest memories is sitting on my dad’s lap during poker games with family and friends and throwing in the money when it was his turn to bet. When I was about 12, they were short handed at one of these weekly events, and since I knew all the games from watching so long, my mom let me play. I won 50 bucks. At that age, it might as well have been a million. From that night on, I was allowed to be a regular in the game as long as I played with my own money. Thanks for the life-long vice, Mom. I played in that game all throughout high school, every Friday night. Once I was up a few bucks, I’d leave early and meet up with my friends with beer money in hand. I taught all my buddies the games we played. In my late teens and early 20s, Mom would come home from bingo, sit in with us and play till she won 20 or 30 dollars, then yawn and say, “Well, I better get to bed.” One of the great things about living in Los Angeles is that it’s so close to Vegas. The first time I ever went there my eyes almost popped out of my head. There are two types of people in the world – people who think Las Vegas is everything wrong with humanity and those who think it’s the greatest place on earth. I am of the latter opinion. My go-to move whenever I started seeing a new girl in L.A. was to bring up Vegas while out on a date. If she said, “I hate Vegas,” it was most likely the last time I’d see her. If she responded, “I love Vegas,” or “I’ve never been,” I would immediately respond, “Let’s go!” They’d agree that we should totally go sometime, and I’d reply, “No, let’s go right now!” About four or five girls said yes. We’d hop in the car at around 10 or 11 and be there in about four hours. Sometimes the drive there would be extremely enjoyable.

We’d drink and gamble all night and then get a cheap hotel room, usually downtown. It was always a great litmus test of how a future relationship might develop. My most memorable trip to Vegas wasn’t with a girl. It was with two of my buddies from back home. I had been out west for just a couple of years when the Eaton boys gave me a call. They were flying to San Francisco for a conference and suggested they fly down to meet me and then all drive together out to Vegas for a few days of debauchery. Yes and yes. I picked them up from the airport with a 30-pack in tow and we hit the road. Maybe it was the excitement and anticipation of the adventure that awaited us in Sin City, or maybe it was the two dozen beers we’d consumed, but we ran out of gas before we got there. Like six miles before we got there. Luckily, the last stretch of highway is all downhill, so two of us would push for awhile to get up enough speed so we could coast and the hop on the trunk while the other manned the steering wheel. Finally we got to an off-ramp and rolled into a gas station. We literally limped into town. Not a real good omen for a three-day gambling trip. We checked into the Maxim hotel and casino. It’s not even there anymore, and it certainly wasn’t anything fancy. We weren’t there for gimmicks or shows. We were there to hit the tables and booze. We didn’t leave that casino for two and a half days. We took breaks to sleep, and then went right back to gambling. All the dealers knew us by name. We’d go on hot streaks, then cold. If one guy was up big, he’d lend the other enough to get out of the hole On the last night, the cards went cold. Every time we’d walk up to a new table, the dealers would have a look on their faces like, “not again, fellas.” Around midnight, the Eaton boys had had enough and went to the room to crash. Now, I was in no position at that time to go on a three-day Vegas bender. I was waiting tables and catering while I struggled to get a foothold in the entertainment business. I’d lost all the money I had. I actually called my mother and left this message on her machine: “Hey Mom, it’s Brian. Great news! I just got a commercial agent and things are really starting to go well.

Route 219 Continued from front page

and the resulting agreement is an enormous step forward. We give our sincere thanks to Governor Cuomo and NYSDOT Commissioner Matthew Driscoll for working with the Senate, listening to the people and addressing the economic needs of Western New York,” Senator Young said. The roadway runs south from the heart of Buffalo to northern Cattaraugus County as a four-lane expressway, and turns into a two-lane highway to the Pennsylvania line. The vision of turning Route 219 into a major international trade route from Toronto, Canada, to Florida has been a priority for many, and other states such as Maryland and Pennsylvania have made progress while New York has lagged, according to Senator Young. Assemblyman Joe Giglio applauded the environmental study as a step towards

improving the area’s future. “It is such great news it almost leaves your speechless. It is what we’ve been striving for, and finally having movement after six long years is phenomenal for the entire region,” he said. According to Senator Young, “Completing Route 219 has been a huge priority for Cattaraugus County for decades because of the job growth and economic potential that would result. In 1998, the state announced that Route 219 would become a fourlane highway from Springville to the I-86 Southern Tier Expressway, because a study found that up to 28,700 permanent jobs would be generated. The project was expanded via Continental One, a group which is working with multiple states to complete the entire route.” “Building the expressway would put people back to

work in good-paying jobs and help Western New York be more competitive in economic development. It will enhance tourism and bring more visitors to our region to enjoy our recreational assets such as Allegany State Park, ski and golf resorts, area wineries and other attractions, bringing more prosperity to the Southern Tier,” she said. “It also would make it safer for the traveling public. It is a roadway that is heavily used by cars and big trucks. There have been accidents and fatalities on the existing two-lane, and my office has received multiple concerns over the years,” Senator Young said. “Local leaders, manufacturers, small businesses, labor, academic institutions, healthcare organizations and trade groups all agree that Route 219 must be completed to put Cattaraugus County on the map,” Senator Young said.

DEC Announces Two New Tools to Help Freshwater Anglers The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has unveiled two new tools that will help rookie and veteran freshwater anglers alike improve their skills, Commissioner Basil Seggos announced Monday. DEC has developed a new instructional manual entitled “The I FISH NY Beginners’ Guide to Freshwater Fishing.” The new manual is part of a series of publications DEC has produced recently designed to get more people involved in the sport of fishing in New York State. DEC also stocks more than 2.3 million catchable-size brook, brown and rainbow trout in over 309 lakes and ponds and roughly 2,900 miles of streams across the state each spring. To offer a better angling experience, DEC recently collaborated with the Office of Information Technology Services to provide the trout stocking data on the Open NY (Data.NY.GOV) website. “Fishing is a proud and economically important tradition in New York and our ‘I FISH NY Beginners’ Guide to Freshwater Fishing’ and the

new portal for fish stocking data are both designed to provide detailed information on the best places to fish in New York,” Commissioner Seggos said. “People of all ages and angling abilities will find these tools helpful as they fish the more than 7,500 lakes, ponds and reservoirs and 70,000 miles of rivers and streams New York is home to.” The I FISH NY Beginners’ Guide to Freshwater Fishing manual can be downloaded at DEC’s website. The guide is composed of nine modules: • The Fishes of New York • Basic Fishing Tackle and Techniques • Care of Your Catch • Safe and Responsible Angling • Intermediate Fishing Tackle and Techniques • The Waters of New York • Fisheries Management • Aquatic Life • Ice Fishing The beginners’ guide provides important information for those desiring to get started in the sport of fishing while also providing a resource for educators to teach students on fish and the sport of fishing.

The manual will also prove helpful to those conducting free fishing events as part of the Governor’s expanded free fishing clinic program. Organizations or groups interested in conducting an event can find instructions and an application form on DEC’s website at the Conduct a Free Fishing Clinic webpage. To give better access to fishing stocking information, DEC collaborated with the Office of Information Technology Services to provide searchable fish stocking data on the Open NY (Data.NY.GOV) website. Previously, the fish stocking information was only available in county listings on the DEC website. There are two different data sets to choose from the Open NY website: Current Season Spring Trout Stocking (link leaves DEC’s website) contains the current year DEC spring stocking information for “catchable sized” brown, brook and rainbow trout. This data set will be renewed annually in mid-March. Fish Stocking Lists from 2011 to 2015 (link leaves DEC’s website) contains

the actual fish stockings by DEC and Essex, Onondaga and Warren counties for all fish species. This data set is particularly useful for people who want to fish in “putgrow-and-take” waters where fish are stocked at a small size and allowed to grow to a size anglers can keep. Now, an angler will be able to look back at the stockings over the past five years in their search for a fishing destination. This data set will be updated in May the year after stocking was completed. There are also two different ways to view the stocking information. The links above will take you to a spread sheetlike dataset that allows you to filter the data on any of the columns (such as County, Waterbody, Species and size). But you can also search the data with a user interface that allows you to search multiple fields and then use graph features to add additional filters. The links for the user interfaces available on the Open NY website are: Current Season Spring Trout Stocking (link leaves DEC’s website) Fish Stocking Lists (Actual): Beginning 2011 (link leaves

DEC’s website) The new stocking data sets will help anglers to plan their fishing trips to take advantage of the plentiful fishing opportunities in New York State. The I FISH NY fishing promotion efforts along with the trout stocking info on the Data.NY.GOV website are part of Governor Cuomo’s NY Open for Fishing and Hunting Initiative. This initiative is designed to improve recreational opportunities for sportsmen and women and to boost tourism activities throughout the state. It includes streamlining fishing and hunting licenses, reducing license fees, and improving access to fishing and hunting in New York State. Under the 2016-17 budget, Governor Cuomo’s NY Open

for Fishing and Hunting Initiative provides $3 million for State land access projects and $4 million for hunting and fishing infrastructure. The 2015-16 budget also created a new capital account, which, along with federal PittmanRobertson funds, will be used to manage, protect and restore fish and wildlife habitat and will improve and develop public access for fish and wildliferelated recreation. This year’s commitment builds on the previous $6 million in funding for 50 new projects to provide access to approximately 380,000 acres of existing State lands for recreation, including boat launches, bird-watching areas, trails and hunting blinds, and $8 million for upgrades and improvements to fish hatcheries statewide.

EVGV Trail Proposal to Be Presented to Planning Board

By Jennie Acklin

Village of Ellicottville Mayor John Burrell presented an idea to the EVGV Trail board last month, outlining a plan to exchange sidewalks along Fillmore Drive for a section of the EVGV Trail along Parkside Drive to the Town Center and future site of the EVGV Trailhead structure. (See June 10 issue of the Ellicottville Times.) Burrell updated the committee with an estimate of $25,000 (from the Sprague Development and Niagara Building sidewalks partnership), plus potential Village streets and sidewalk budget funds for the project. Additional funds from the EVGV Trail and from the Town of Ellicottville will also be needed to cover the costs of construction, to optimistically be completed before Fall Fest 2016. MDA Engineering is expected to have a detailed cost estimate and plan drawings ready for next week’s Ellicottville Town Board meeting. The cost estimate for the Parkside Drive section of the trail will include a 10-foot parking area, curbing from the corner of Parkside and Maples Road to the Fire Hall / Fillmore Drive, drainage along Parkside Drive, and pedestrian crossings across Fillmore Drive to the south side of the Town Center parking lot. To move forward with the trailhead structure, Town Planning Board approval will be necessary. Engineer Mark Alianello suggested that a member of the Trail board attend the July Town Planning Board meeting to talk about the trailhead design project. Alianello also expects to receive a revised survey of the proposed route of the trail from the Town Center to Route 219 from wetlands scientist Eric Krull, before the July Town Planning Board meeting. The survey will outline final delineation for the trail, with the measurements of how much the trail will cross wetlands in that area.
