are many opportunities to get started! Before heading out to one of these great locations, make sure you are prepared for a fruitful afternoon. Remember to bring your own bucket or container; although many locations give you a bucket to use, you’ll need something to empty that bucket into and a good way to transport the blueberries back home. Be sure to wear a hat and plenty of sunscreen, too! When it comes to the actual See Blueberries page 6

Town Planning Board Discusses New Apartments
By Caitlin Croft
During the regularly scheduled meeting of the Town of Ellicottville Planning Board (TPB), the Public Hearing for PB-2017-01 Greystone Apartments was held. The project located, on NYS 242 E, is up for Site Plan Review including a landscape plan, Master Plan Development and Special Use Permit. The proprietor of this project, Phil Vogt, plans to build apartments behind the Greystone Townhouses. There will be two, two-story buildings on a total of 1.56 acres. In each building, there will be 6 units, two on the first floor and four on the second floor. Each building will be roughly 3,700 sq. ft. This piece of property does not have access to NY 242 and therefore will need an easement to get over the land of the Greystone Home Owner’s Association (HOA). Access has been addressed with a drafted easement to be signed by all parties within the HOA. All setbacks, height requirements and parking concerns have been addressed and the standards have been met. At the last meeting, landscape changes were requested and the changes were reflected on the plan dated 7/24/2017. The Storm Water Management Plan is being worked out in conjunction with the Town Engineer. Currently, utility
easements are being worked out. There will be minimal impact on the wetlands and therefore, the proprietor has applications in for approval from the Army Corps of Engineers. A letter of no effect has been received from the State Historic Preservation Office. There is concern over the width of the driveway with State Regulations, and Kelly Fredrickson and Tom Abritas are addressing the matter. The new plans showed a sign which will have the allowed gooseneck lighting and will be approved by the Code Enforcement Officer because it is less than 32 sq. ft. Larry Ploetz, representing the First Presbyterian Church, was the only member of the public to comment. He is very excited and only has two concerns with the project, the first being his concern of disrupting the old spruce trees that are behind the church. Vogt responded he is planning on drilling laterally for the water lines as not to disrupt the root systems of the pines. Ploetz’s second concern was the Storm Water Management Plan and was seeking reassurance that it would not affect the church. Vogt advised in the current plan being reviewed with the Town Engineer that the water is being directed away from the church. The TPB moved to close the Public Hearing.
Next, the TPB performed the State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) process for PB-2017-01 led by Town Planner Gary Palumbo. After the 11 questions of part two, the review process was completed and the TB moved to declare a negative declaration. Considering there are a handful of details yet to be worked out, the TPB moved to table the matter until the August 2017 meeting. There were three minor changes to the minutes of the June 2017 meeting. The board made a motion to approve the corrected minutes. Next, Palumbo gave an update on the Comprehensive Plan. Chapter Three and Eight were addressed regarding Land Use and Future Land Use, respectively. Vice Chair John Zerfas found a few errors, such as the Ellicottville Memorial Library was not marked on the maps and the old Plato Store needed to be removed. There was discussion on options of how to classify land use (the four major classifications are residential, vacant land, agricultural and commercial) and if they are going to create sub categories such as timber, haying, etc. Palumbo is going to work on getting a map that is a hybrid for the update. The next meeting of the Town Planning Board will take place on Aug. 28, 2017 at 6 p.m. at the Town Hall.

Shake on the Lake Presents Romeo & Juliet Shake on the Lake, Wyoming County’s Professional Shakespeare Festival, celebrates its sixth season by producing its first tragedy, Romeo & Juliet. This year’s tour is the largest to date and takes the company to eight counties – Wyoming, Livingston, Genesee, Orleans, Erie, Niagara, Monroe, and Cattaraugus. Josh Rice, co-founder and Producing Artistic Director of Shake on the Lake, organized the company in 2012 to fulfill a life’s dream to bring professional theatre to his hometown of Silver Lake, NY. Since then, this rural-based company has grown from three professional theatre artists to nearly a dozen and from four live shows to 16 during this year’s Romeo & Juliet tour. “After producing comedies for the first five seasons, this year we are doing our first tragedy,” says Josh, “Romeo & Juliet is Shakespeare’s best known play, and is actually quite funny for the first three acts. Then, things get really interesting. We are excited to show people how we can put a mirror up to these 400-year old plays and reflect back to audiences things that are still as relevant now, in 2017.” Chad Bradford, Associate Artistic Director and Shake on the Lake founding company member, is directing Romeo
& Juliet this year. Chad has helped shape the creative and collaborative process that Shake on the Lake is known for in their fast, physical, and fun style of adapting Shakespeare. “When wrestling with a play as beautiful, iconic and famous as Romeo & Juliet, one is tempted to take the bits and pieces of their favorite productions and cram them into a single performance. However, with the collaborative, ensemble-based working model that we have established here at Shake on the Lake, I’m learning things about the play that I never knew before,” says Chad. The company returns for its residency in Silver Lake starting in mid-July. In addition to performing, the company has a full schedule of K-12 educational programming and performances throughout Western New York. “We’re thrilled that Shake on the Lake is welcomed in so
many communities throughout Western New York,” says Managing Director Pilar McKay, “This year we also joined the Theatre Alliance of Buffalo to strengthen our ties to the regional theatre community and to represent professional theatre in rural areas.” Shake on the Lake is performing in eight counties: Wyoming (Silver Lake – Perry/Castile, Arcade, and Attica), Genesee (Batavia), Orleans (Point Breeze and Lyndonville), Livingston (Geneseo and Dansville), Erie (Springville), Monroe (Brockport), Niagara (Niagara Falls), and Cattaraugus (Ellicottville). This is the third tour for the company and their sixth season overall. For more information, visit Facebook (Shake on the Lake), www.shakeonthelake.org or email shakeonthelake@gmail. com.

4-H Shines at Erie County Fair
Four-leaf clovers are not just a universal symbol of good luck. For many, they also signify the 4-H logo – a green four-leaf clover with a white “H” on each leaf, symbolizing the organization’s commitment to four personal development areas: head, hands, heart and health. 4-H is the nation’s largest youth development organization. According to the Eric County Co-op website, “more than 6 million 4-H youth in urban neighborhoods, suburban schoolyards, and rural farming communities stand out among their peers: building revolutionary opportunities and implementing communitywide change at an early age.” First incorporated in the 1920s, 4-H was originally established with a goal of educating rural youth in improved farming activities and homemaking practices, later broadening its range in the 1970s. The organization now boasts that there are absolutely no stipulations for joining the global group, other than requiring youth to be between the ages of 5 and 21. “All youth regardless of gender, race, color, national origin, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or marital status may join 4-H,” states the website. As the pledge goes, 4-H shares in the mission that participants will, “Pledge my head to clearer thinking, my hands to larger service, my heart to greater loyalty, and my health to better living, for my country, community, and my world.” And they are able to do just that through a variety of educational programs that can be categorized into three main sections: Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM); Civic Engagement;
and Healthy Living. As the Erie County Fair quickly approaches, from Aug. 9-20, take a moment to walk through the barns to see the livestock or youth development projects. There are more than 10 different livestock categories youth can compete in at the fair, including: beef, dairy cattle, dairy goats, dogs, meat goats, poultry, rabbits, sheep, swine and working goats. While most typically think of 4-H as showing a pig or a cow in front of judges, 4-H has a far greater span than just cows. Lifestyle projects range from fine arts and crafts to photography, entomology to food preservation, and public interaction to wood science. All projects require the 4-H member to undergo a judging or evaluation of their project, a showcase of the completed project, and encourage the development of positive sportsmanship habits. Thinking about getting your little ones involved? There are a variety of ways to join a local club. Youth can choose from neighborhood clubs, led by parents are guardians and typically made up of community members; school or after-school clubs if 4-H curricula is used within the classroom, or sponsored 4-H club, which are formed by government agencies, religious groups or other youth-serving organizations. If none of these seem like good options, youth can also become a member independently through self study and mentoring. A little beyond the maximum age of 19, but still looking to get involved in local 4-H activities? The Erie County Fair is always looking for 4-H exhibit evaluators and assistants. Or, local 4-H clubs also need officers and advisors, who act as leaders by presiding over club meetings.
And while the Erie County Fair may be crown jewel of events for local 4-H members, it’s important to note that membership in local clubs doesn’t have to be limited to just one main event. Through 4-H, youth have opportunities to compete in several others. If livestock or youth lifestyle projects are selected, they will be sent on to compete amongst their peers at the New York State Fair in Syracuse. Youth can also participate in Career Explorations through 4-H, a three- day event held at Cornell University campus that provides members with handson exposure to academic fields of their interest, in a college setting. 4-H Capital Days give youth an opportunity meet and interact with state legislators in Albany, giving them a better understanding of government and an opportunity to network with other delegates. And that’s far from the end of the list. So, when you attend the Erie County Fair in a few weeks, be sure to pay attention and take interest in more than just the funnel cakes and sugar waffles—unless of course those happen to be the names of two dairy cows. 4-H now plays, and has historically played, a pivotal part in county fairs far and wide, and it’s easy to see why.

Winners at Art in the Park
Cattaraugus County Arts Council’s 68th Art in the Park at War Vets Park had a rainy start for the artists setting up their booths, but as the day progressed the weather improved and it became a cool oasis from the heat for the crowd and the artists alike. Twenty-nine artists registered to show and sell their work this year, but the uncertain weather kept five away. And unfortunately the new event this year - the chalk art contest – was rained out. It will return next year. The artists’ booths are judged every year by a new guest juror. The Art in the Park guest juror this year was Kane, PA Art in the Wilds Director Marilyn Blackmore. She toured the artists’ booths, reviewing their work and their presentations and selected three show winners. Best of Show was awarded to Greg Ricciardiello of Dutch Hill Pottery, this is his

The exhibits in the Youth Building are a must-see, as many 4-H students embrace their creative side to share their work in areas such as ecology and agriculture. Additionally, students take a hands-on approach to the environment by showcasing home-grown produce, maple syrup, cut flowers, and other displays of horticulture. Many 4-H students participate in the Family and Consumer Science aspect of the fair by entering their homemade and handmade items. Such items include baked goods, needlework, photography, and other crafts. Ribbons and cash prizes are awarded during the weekend before the fair opens, and fairgoers can see the result of the students’ hard work all week long. Fair-goers have several opportunities to observe the end result of 4-H students’ hard work at the many 4-H shows, including the goat shows, pig shows, rabbit shows, sheep shows, horse shows, and more.

picking process, don’t just focus on the berries at the very front of the bush. Usually, the best clusters of ripe berries are on the undersides of branches a bit farther into the bush. While you may be in a hurry or trying to out-pick the person nearest you, do be gentle! The best way to pick blueberries (especially those at the peak of ripeness) is to roll the berry between your thumb and the palm of your hand—the ripe ones should easily fall off. How do you know if a blueberry is ripe? Ripe blueberries have a light gray/blue color, and a berry with any hint of red hasn’t fully ripened (but will usually ripen after being picked). White and green colored blueberries

now for blueberries, purple raspberries, black raspberries and red raspberries. Awald Farms is open daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and you can even get a tasty lunch and ice cream there, too! Blueberry Ridge Farm uses absolutely no pesticides, and U-pick and ready-picked blueberries are available now! The farm is located at 12201 Gowanda State Road in Lawtons, and they’re open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Picking season is typically through mid-August, and the farm welcomes children, as long as they’re accompanied by an adult. Of course, the blueberry harvesting process isn’t really complete until the berries have been properly stored. To maintain fresh blueberries for immediate eating, avoid putting the berries (which are still warm from the sun) in a closed bag or container to prevent moisture from forming. To keep berries from becoming mushy, don’t wash them until just before using. It’s best to chill berries soon after returning home, without washing them, in a loosely covered bowl or container. Typically, fresh picked blueberries will keep in the refrigerator for ten days or up to two weeks. You can also freeze berries to enjoy them all fall and winter long. For the best results, place the unwashed berries on a cookie sheet in a single layer. Once frozen, transfer them to a storage container, which will allow them to keep in the freezer without clumping together. Then, simply thaw and enjoy whenever you wish!

Town Board Zerfas will be meeting with a Councilman from Ashford and is trying to get additional information about the current status of the initiative. Phase Three of the Broadband program targets all the remaining unserved areas, seeking to provide access to high-speed broadband to the most rural communities with the goal to achieve statewide access to all of New York by the end of 2018. The deadline for request for proposals for Phase Three is Aug. 15, 2017. For more information on this program, visit www. nysbroadband.ny.gov. McAndrew’s report included reviewing the minutes from the Four Flushers meeting. The Board agreed that the Village should go forward with the project to remove sludge from lagoon No. 1 at the approximate cost of $400,000-$500,000. The project had previously been scheduled to be done with the updating of the Waste Water Treatment Plant, but was removed from this plan to keep costs down. The Board voted to establish a Joint Engineering Department between the Town and Village of Ellicottville, with the Village of Ellicottville entering into EV

a shared services agreement utilizing the services of the Town engineering office. The Town is applying for a local government efficiency grant from New York State to assist with the cost of equipping the engineering department. The grant application will be finalized next week. If the grant is approved, the board may consider hiring an Engineering Assistant. The Town/Village of Ellicottville Public Works Engineering Position description is complete and will be advertised within the week. McAndrew reported on the Cattaraugus County Shared Services Meeting, which identified 28 possible areas for sharing services throughout the county, about 5 or 6 of these proposals being feasible for the Town of Ellicottville. A workshop meeting with the Board, Engineer, Assessor and Highway Superintendent was scheduled for Wednesday, July 26 at 4 p.m. Harry Weissman, Town Assessor, reviewed his report with the Board, stating overall sales are up in the area. The Board of Assessment Review handled 12-13 grievances, 6-8 correction of errors and 4
stipulations. The current level of assessment is at 99 percent for the year. In other news, the Board approved a motion to bid out the project to fix the damaged part of Sommerville Valley Road; a meeting to discuss the Canada Hill Road Culvert construction took place and work is expected to begin this week; a section of pipe was replaced on upper Holiday Valley Road and the HVAC system now seems to be working and running, with only a few glitches. Jeffrey Williams, President of the Valley Village Association, wrote a letter to the Town Board offering possible solutions to deal with the deteriorating Valley Village Drive and presented it to the board at the meeting. The Board agreed the road needs attention and will work with the Association to find a solution that would be beneficial to both parties. The Board concluded the meeting with a call to enter executive session. The next meeting of the Ellicottville Town Board will be held on Wednesday, August 16, 2017.

Those ages five and up can enjoy the Climbing Forest, which is like a 3D version of a rock wall, and only one of three in the country. There are 10 trees outfitted with color-coded climbing holds and the difficulty ranges from very easy (yellow) to very challenging (purple). Each climber is fitted with a harness that is clipped into an Auto Belay system. Once a climber reaches the top of the tree at up to 45 feet, they just let go and the belay system slowly lowers them to the ground. There is also a kids’ area with two trees where the

Four Health Rules You Should Be Breaking
By Kim Duke, NETA & AAFA Certified Trainer
Old Rule: Drink eight glasses of water a day. New Rule: Eat your water. The recommendation to chug all that H2O was likely based on guidelines published in 1945. However, says Howard Murad, MD, author of The Water Secret, much of your daily requirement is contained in foods: fruits, vegetables, beans, and cooked whole grains like oatmeal and quinoa (which soak up moisture in the pot) all deliver servings of water. And, as Murad points out, they offer the added bonus of nutrients: “Watermelon and cucumber are more than 90 percent water, but they also contain antioxidants. With a glass of water, all you get is water.” You’ll know you’re hydrated when your urine is colorless or pale yellow and you’re rarely thirsty. Old Rule: Eat nine servings of fruits and vegetables. New Rule: Fill half your plate with produce. A serving of broccoli is about five florets. A serving of raw spinach is about one cup. A serving of mango is roughly the
size of a fist. “It’s not surprising that people get confused over what, exactly, a serving is,” says Washington, D.C., dietitian Rebecca Scritchfield. Her advice: Stop counting and instead make half of every meal produce. “You don’t need a big mound on your plate. Six asparagus spears at dinner, a spinach salad at lunch, and a sliced banana and some berries at breakfast should do it.” And quality counts: Even two or three daily servings of deeply hued fruits and veggies (like blueberries, bok choy, or red peppers) may help reduce your risk of cancer and heart disease, Scritchfield says. “It’s like darts. The goal is to hit the bull’s-eye. But hitting nearby is good, too.” Old Rule: Avoid red meat. New Rule: Beef in moderation can be healthy. Red meat was long considered a heart attack on a plate because it’s high in saturated fat. But a 2010 study from the Harvard School of Public Health found that the cardiovascular risk comes from processed varieties, such as sausage, hot dogs, and cold cuts— not from steak, hamburgers, and other non-processed cuts. (The real culprits may be salt and preservatives.) Red meat is a good source of iron and immunity-boosting zinc-two nutrients some women don’t get enough of. Beef (especially grass-fed) also contains high concentrations of conjugated linoleic acid, a type of fat that may decrease cancer risk and help reduce body fat. “But not all red meats are created

equal,” says Leslie J. Bonci, director of sports nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh’s Center for Sports Medicine. She recommends choosing very lean cuts and avoiding anything labeled “prime,” as it will have more fat marbling. And try not to eat more than three 4- to 5-ounce servings (about the size of an iPhone) per week. Old Rule: Keep your BMI between 18.5 and 24.9. New Rule: Eat healthy, exercise, and let your weight settle naturally. Physicians use BMI (body mass index)—a ratio of your weight to your height—as a tool to diagnose obesity. But critics say BMI ignores muscle mass, and a 2011 Obesity study notes that it also ignores a person’s hip circumference. “People come in different sizes and shapes,” says Joanne Ikeda, nutritionist emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley. “The idea that everyone should fall under 25 is ludicrous.” A person can have a high BMI and still be healthy, Ikeda argues. Research supports the theory: A Journal of the American Medical Association study found that fit women--even if they were overweight according to their BMI--were less likely to suffer a heart attack than those who were out of shape. Ikeda advises her patients to stop obsessing over their BMI, eat a nutritious diet, and log 150 minutes of exercise per week. “A healthy lifestyle results in a healthy weight.”

The next clinic will focus on putting and take place on Aug. 2. Following the lesson, form a foursome and make your way to the course to “play by the rules as best as you can”! If you make it to 10 strokes, you can pick up your ball. How’s that for no pressure? Bring a friend, husband or partner – everyone is welcome to play with the group! Cost is just $14 each night, with optional cart rentals available for $9 per person. Club rentals are also available. The group meets in the golf Pro Shop at 5 p.m., located on the ground level below the Cabana Bar and pool complex. For more information, call the Pro Shop at Holiday Valley at (716) 699-3939.
