The national symbol for America’s Promise, a red wagon, will be displayed in each location through the end of August as a drop-off location. CCB will distribute the supplies to local schools once they are in session in September. “This is what we do as part of the America’s Promise commitment; we help children,” states America’s Promise Team Chair Ashley Murray. “There are so many children that need these items to enhance their learning experience. CCB is pleased to offer area schools help in this
way. Please look for the wagon and donate supplies. Without the proper school supplies, some children may not have the same opportunity others enjoy.” “America’s Promise” members help to ensure that children receive the five resources they need: An ongoing relationship with a caring adult-mentor, access to safe places & structured activities during non-school hours, a healthy start, a marketable skill through effective education;, and an opportunity to give back through community service.
Two Worlds
Summer’s begun. To clarify, I mean “summer soccer,” of course. But I suppose you knew that. It’s a new season with new faces, on the field and off. Lindsey Coburn is in charge now, doing fine work, along with Caitlin Toth, Katie Mendel, Lianna Olsen -- and some gentlemen. There’s no point naming them, we’ll be here all day. I see last year’s 6-year-olds turning up as remarkable little 7-year-old players. What a difference a year makes. Summer is for watching things grow and change. The young girls are showing real promise. I think it helps that they’ve grown up seeing older sisters and friends do so well at Ellicottville School. But there’s a different sort of pride as well. Their team, our team, won the World Cup after all. In the American way. We used to get perhaps 50 people coming to our games. Now we’ll see 75 or more. People stop me on the street wanting to talk, enthusiastic, people you’d never believe would want to talk about soccer. I remember living in Texas in 1982, talking about soccer and having no one know what the heck I was talking about. Now I’ll meet parents in Ellicottville who know what ‘FIFA’ stands for. Incredible! The news seems dark all the time and this is a small thing, only a bit of light, but I suppose that’s enough to see where you’re going. School soccer is months away. We officials will meet beforehand to prepare for the season. I hope to be fit and ready for the season, though my knee will have the final say. By way of contribution to the league, I’ve cut down to one or two glasses of wine a week and a daily trip to the gym. The wine was the greater sacrifice. I’ve been in America for 38 years and feel more American than English these days. I can’t imagine living anywhere but our village. Lately I feel like I live in two worlds: the reality of getting older, little by little -- and then, everywhere I look, such beauty. - Wally Holland

Health & Fitness
Group Effort
By Kim Duke NETA & AAFA Certified Trainer
We all know that exercise is very important to our wellbeing. It helps improve your mood, your fitness level and your overall health. But, getting exercise in each and every week requires some dedication. And, if you are like so many people struggling to jumpstart their fitness journey, you are not really sure where to begin. I started my own fitness journey/addiction way back in the 80’s with a classic aerobics class. Between the music, the motivating instructors and the energy provided by the group itself, I became a dedicated participant. “The single biggest benefit is community,” said Tim Keightley, who oversees group fitness at Gold’s Gym, which has more than 600 locations around the world. “You meet a community of people so it’s a lot harder not to come back next week.” Not only do group exercisers visit the gym more often, they are more likely to renew their memberships, according to Keightley, who said industry figures show that group exercisers use the gym about
three times a week to the average gym member who goes 1.7 times. Here are some reasons why group fitness works: Motivation Unless you’re that rare person that can jump out of bed at 5 a.m. and hit the ground running, odds are that getting and staying motivated are difficult for you. You are not alone. The majority of the people I’ve worked with over the years have had the same problem. That’s one of the great things about the group setting. Many people who attend a class will show up exhausted from the ups and downs of everyday life. But once they join the group, they become re-energized. With a friendly fitness instructor there to light a fire under you rear, it can’t get any better. Not only are you more motivated to get out of bed and exercise, but also there’s the motivation to improve your current fitness level. If you work out with people who are faster, stronger or fitter than you, you are probably going to get in better shape. There’s an old saying that goes, “The lead dog sets the pace for the rest of the pack.” Think about it. Accountability Once you join a group fitness class, you’ll not only find yourself feeling more fit, but you will also come to realize when you are not there, the group notices. I’ve had countless clients over the years at Core Performance Fitness say, “I wouldn’t be there in the morning/evening if I didn’t know that Kim, Mila, and Debbie, etc. were going to give
me a hard time for not showing up.” Group Camaraderie Human beings are social creatures. Yes, a few are hermits and recluses, but the majority of us love to be around other people. We love to laugh, joke and have fun. I feel this is one of the greatest products of a group workout setting. Nothing brings people closer quite like misery and physical suffering. If you’ve ever done a boot camp or similar class, you’ll understand what I’m talking about. Many people sign up to get more fit and along the way become friends through this mutual ritual. Many become lifelong best friends. My classes not only work hard together, but they play hard together. Finally, in a world where we’ve become so dependent on email and texting, working out with a group offers that human interaction that is slowly disappearing. We can do just about everything today virtually without ever talking to a person. That is outside of a group fitness setting. With group fitness, you have to get involved. You can try to escape to the back of the pack, but a good instructor will integrate you into the group whether you like or not. That’s why it’s called group dynamics, and that’s why technology will never replace the good, oldfashioned group workout. Get out of your cubicle, your car or your house and go meet other people that share a common interest with you. You never know— you might just meet some real friends instead of the ones you find online.

Dr. Sheila Fitzpatrick with daughter Christina By Sheila Fitzpatrick, DVM
Summer is here and we’re more active with our pets this time of year. Unfortunately, vets see a lot more orthopedic injuries in pets this time of year, too. Like humans, pets have cranial and caudal cruciate ligaments – very tiny ligaments found in the knee known as the stifle. When your pet jumps up to catch that Frisbee and lands going in the wrong direction, it is similar to when you are skiing and you catch an edge. The twisting motion can stretch and tear the cruciate ligaments, most commonly the cranial cruciate, in your pet. It can also cause a tear in the meniscus,
another important group of structures in your pet’s knee. If left untreated, the pet may develop painful arthritis from the longstanding instability due to the lack of one or both of the cruciate ligaments. Glucosamine products such as “Adequan” and Hill’s Science diet “J/D” can help with some of the symptoms, but surgical repair followed by anti-inflammatory medications is usually recommended. Depending on the size, breed and activity of your pet, recovery can take up to three months. Another common summer injury in pets that occurs in the smaller breeds of dogs and in cats is called a “patellar luxation.” This is a condition when the tiny groove where the knee cap travels is not very deep and the knee cap will slip off. It can be genetic or can occur after a trauma to the knee. In either case, surgical repair involving deepening the groove will help your pet walk more easily and avoid future arthritis. So if you see your little dachshund holding up his back leg and hopping, it’s time to get to the vet! Other common “summer” emergencies include broken
toenails and lacerated pads. Broken toenails, if not treated, can be very painful and result in bone infections in the toes. If your pet breaks a nail, it may be best to have that nail cut back and cauterized by your vet. If your pet has lacerated a pad, depending on how deep it is, a quick staple repair by your veterinarian would be in order. And remember, all lacerations need attention. They should be clipped, cleaned and taken care of immediately! While this list only touches on some of the more common injuries we see in pets during the summertime, we hope it helps you to know what to watch for and what to do should your pet experience any of the above injuries or symptoms. Just remember, be safe and have fun. Sheila Fitzpatrick, DVM, is a graduate of Colorado State University College of Veterinary Medicine and owns Mountain Mobile Veterinary Service in Eagle and Vail, CO. She’s a 1983 graduate of Ellicottville Central School and a frequent visitor to Ellicottville to see family. She provides this column as a public service.
Opening for Catt. Co. Museum Mammoth Exhibit Aug. 6 The Cattaraugus County Museum is thrilled to announce that the Randolph mammoth has returned to Cattaraugus County. The remains of the mammoth, found during work to dig a new pond at the State fish hatchery outside of Randolph in May of 1934, have been at the State Museum in Albany for most of the past 82 years. Now they have returned to Cattaraugus County for an exhibit that is scheduled to last a year. The grand opening for this exciting new exhibit is scheduled for Saturday, August
6. The museum will open at 10am, with a special talk given by Dr. Robert Feranec at 1pm. Dr. Feranec is currently the Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology and Curator of Modern Mammals at the NY State Museum in Albany. His research is focused on understanding how ecology changes in mammals over time. For his academic training, Dr. Feranec received his undergraduate degree at Syracuse University, his Master’s in Geology at the University of Florida, and his Ph.D. at the University
of California, Berkeley. Just prior to his appointment at the State Museum he was a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University. There will be a Free commemorative water bottle for the first 200 visitors to the Museum for the Grand Opening! The Cattaraugus County Museum and Research Library is located in the Stone House, 9824 Rt. 16 in Machias. Call us at (716) 353-8200 with any questions. This event is free and open to the public. We hope you will join us for this exciting day!
Town Planning Board Continued from front page
them of the public hearing was sent to only one of two owners. Both must have the opportunity to comment. As a result, the public hearing that was opened at Monday’s meeting was left open until the August meeting. The good news is that all remaining issues with the property, including those brought up by the one owner who did get the public hearing notice, have been solved to everyone’s satisfaction. The only change the board made was spelling out that the Brewpub owner is responsible for long-term maintenance of the drainage system. Jennie Acklin, a member of the Ellicottville-Great Valley Trail board (and is the publisher of this newspaper), and town engineer Mark Alianello (who also serves on the board) asked the planning board for a “courtesy review” of the committee’s plan to
construct a kiosk/pergola that doubles as the entrance to the Nannen Arboretum and to the trailhead. Acklin explained that Ellicottville BOCES students sawed the lumber for the structure as part of their coursework in the spring and their teacher will oversee its construction beginning with the start of the new school year in September. The planning board reviewed the site plan and information provided and determined that the proposed trailhead structure and land use does not require planning board approval. As such, no action was taken. However, Palumbo advised that he and the town’s code enforcement officer would send a letter for the trail committee’s file confirming its thinking on the matter. Planning board members also made a point to express
their support for the trail. At last week’s town board meeting, planning board member John Zerfus suggested that it is time to review the town’s comprehensive plan. The board agreed and town supervisor Matt McAndrew said the first step should be to compile a list of topics that need to be addressed. In relaying this suggestion to his fellow board members, Zerfus asked that each take some time to read through the existing plan and think about what issues have come up over the past several years that might warrant changes. Palumbo said he would use that information to craft a work plan and prepare an estimate for his time that the town board that can include in next year’s budget. The next meeting of the town planning board is scheduled for Monday, August 22 at 6 p.m. in the town/village hall.

Catt. Co. Fair which takes place August 1-7, allows members to share the hard work that goes into raising and showing livestock, presenting their knowledge about our region’s agriculture and exhibiting their handmade goods, photographs and more. This year, there are approximately 340 4-H members throughout the county, and 264 members will be participating in this year’s fair! Students can choose to participate in the livestock portion of the fair or pursue other projects that will be displayed in the Youth Building throughout the week. According to Abigail Luzier, Ellicottville’s 4-H educator: “This year we project to have more than 500 exhibits in the Youth Building and 400 or more different animal entries between all the species.” Although the fair opens to the public on August 1, it begins much sooner for students bringing livestock to show. All livestock animals are in place during the weekend before the fair opens, but students have actually been preparing for quite a long time. Breeding animals are those that students work with year after year, while market animals are a yearly project. On Saturday, August 6 at 1 p.m., the Market Animal Sale takes place in the Livestock Arena, where students may receive the tangible benefits of raising livestock for the fair. Businesses and individuals can participate in the bidding process or simply watch the sale. According to Luzier, “The market experience is something that exposes our 4-H members to a real farming experience – from the selection and raising of an animal to its sale – which creates an income for the farmer.” For most people, a day at the fair includes non-stop midway rides, entertainment and food. While this is a part of the 4-H students’ experience, too, it certainly does not describe the whole week. It is the students’ responsibility to make sure

their animals are clean every day and that their stalls are presentable before the fair opens each morning. Luzier adds that caring for the animals is an on-going project, as “4-H members also are grooming, monitoring the health and regularly working with their animals. Often, kids go above and beyond what is required throughout the year.” In fact, many students commit to spending the whole week camping at the fair so their animals can be cared for each day. 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, pig, rabbit, sheep, horse and other animal shows. Luzier explains, “Judges look for a number of things, but it is different for each species and class. Many times with Cloverbud division (ages 5-7) children, judges are looking to see if they know the basic fundamentals of showing their animal; and of course they want to see if the kids are having fun in the show ring! When kids start to age into the Jr. (ages 8-13 ) and Sr. (ages 14 and up) divisions, the judges get a little tougher and try to get the kids to really
think about the questions they are being asked, as well as how well they know the animal they are showing—both inside and out.” The full schedule of the livestock shows is available at www.cattarauguscofair.com/ agricultre.asp. The exhibits in the Youth Building are always a mustsee. Many 4-H students embrace their creative side to share their work in areas such as ecology and agriculture. Students can enter exhibits in geology, field identification projects, forestry and topics in environmental awareness. 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 as baked goods, needlework, photography and other crafts. Ribbons and cash prizes are awarded during the weekend before the fair opens, and fair-goers can see the result of the students’ hard work all week long! Those interested in joining one of the county’s 4-H clubs are invited to enroll for the upcoming year, which begins in September. Luzier encourages interested students to pursue any project and area they wish to explore, including horses, cooking and arts and crafts. There are programs for those who do not wish to work with animals, as well as special leasing programs for those who are interested in the livestock aspect of the program. The lease program “is free of charge and a child who does not have an animal can lease and work with a farm or club. This is a wonderful opportunity for someone who has always dreamed of having an animal but does not have the facility to house it,” Luzier explained. 4-H is open to all students (kindergarten through 12th grade) through the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Cattaraugus County. Those interested in learning more can contact Luzier at (716) 6992377 or ajl387@cornell.edu. The Cattaraugus County Fair is open daily, Aug. 1-7.

most important menu item at the Daily Grind. Freeman is still narrowing down vendors who can provide her with a regular supply of organic, fair trade beans that will hold to her standards for the most delicious hand-crafted coffee drinks, including espressos, cappuccinos, iced coffees and more. Sourcing the ingredients for the menu has been just as determined. Wherever possible, Freeman has chosen organic, sustainably raised, fair trade products and vendors who can keep her well-stocked. The breakfast menu will include bagels and bagel sandwiches, parfaits, fruit
salads and homemade baked goods prepared daily by Freeman and a vegan baker she has hired. The lunch and dinner menu will feature traditional deli-style sandwiches as well as a wide range of salads, soups, sides, seasonal items and daily specials. Plus, almost all items can be customized for vegans/vegetarians. Freeman says she’ll use biodegradable, recyclable, compostable products in the restaurant as much as possible, and she’ll provide customers to sort and dispose of their throwaways in the labeled bins provided. “I’m excited people are looking forward to having their
coffee shop back,” Freeman says. “I think they’ll love what’s new in our “conscious café.” The exact opening date is not yet confirmed, Freeman says. “We’re still fine tuning processes, negotiating with vendors and making final menu decisions,” she explains. But she does know they’ll be open daily beginning at 6 a.m., and she looks forward to welcoming you back home. The Ellicottville Times will post the official opening date on our Facebook page as soon as we hear. “Like” our page to be sure you get this and all of our other scoops! www.facebook. com/TheEllicottvilleTimes

‘Truly, Madly, Guilty’ by Liane Moriarty Sam and Clementine have a wonderful, albeit, busy life: they have two little girls, Sam has just started a new dream job, and Clementine, a cellist, is busy preparing for the audition of a lifetime. If there’s anything they can count on, it’s each other. Clementine and Erika are each other’s oldest friends. A single look between them can convey an entire conversation. But theirs is a complicated relationship, so when Erika mentions a last minute invitation to a barbecue with her neighbors, Tiffany and Vid, Clementine and Sam don’t hesitate. Having Tiffany and Vid’s larger than life personalities there will be a welcome respite. Two months later, it won’t stop raining, and Clementine and Sam can’t stop asking themselves the question: What if we hadn’t gone? In Truly Madly Guilty, Liane Moriarty takes on the foundations of our lives: marriage, sex, parenthood, and friendship. She shows how guilt can expose the fault lines in the most seemingly strong relationships, how what we don’t say can be more powerful than what we do, and how sometimes it is the most innocent of moments that can do the greatest harm. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. Don’t forget, you can access over 14,000 eBooks and eAudiobooks using your library card!

JULY 29 - AUGUST 4, 2016

Emerling Ford’s new facility on South Cascade Drive in Springville is now officially open! It’s been a long process, said General Manager John Woodruff, who explained that the dealership applied for Ford Motor Company funding four years ago when Ford offered financing to dealerships across the country. Emerling Ford was one of the lucky dealerships that was awarded funding and began its renovations in 2016. The dealership remained open throughout the work, moving the sales representatives into portable trailers outside the building. On March 7, the sales representatives were moved
back into a “not quite done” building, according to General Manager John Woodruff. “Those trailers were terrible, they were cold during the winter,” Woodruff recalled. “I would never ask my employees to do something I wouldn’t do … so I took one for the team and took the office right by the door that opened 100 times a day.” Although the accommodations weren’t the best, Woodruff said it was worth it when they held their grand re-opening on July 20. The event showed off the new building, inviting community members and customers to take a tour of the newly renovated building. “We had over 400 people …
in our [door prize] drawings,” Woodruff said. “Everybody loved it. The customers who hadn’t seen it yet … they loved it.” The renovation expanded the dealership’s footprint by 4,000 square feet, giving them more office and service space and the ability to provide two customer-waiting lounges. Walking in the front doors, customers are greeted with a front desk backed by a fullyfunctioning fireplace. The area is open, allowing customers to get a clear view of the showroom. The offices of the sales representatives, which line the outer walls, were built without a fourth wall or doors. “We wanted to stay transparent to our customers,” Woodruff explained. “It was important they see what’s going on.” Keeping the building with open sight lines wasn’t the only renovation that kept the needs of the customer in mind. In the showroom, there is a quiet lounge near the fireplace. A computer “bar” allows customers to bring their own devices and stay connected, or use the computer provided by Emerling. The second lounge, near the service department, has a big-screen TV and coffee for customers. See Emerling page 3

Shanahan Joining BCH Primary Care Center
Upcoming Events in Springville

Emerling Ford Celebrates Grand Re-Opening
On August 9, the Bertrand Chaffee Hospital Primary Care Center is expanding to include 10 providers. Bertrand Chaffee Hospital (BCH) announced that Dr. Jacqueline Shanahan, a State University of New York at Geneseo graduate, will be joining the primary care team. Shanahan is a board-certified family physician through the American Board of Family Medicine. She holds medical licenses in both Georgia and New York, and will see patients of all ages at BCH. Shanahan began her medical career as an emergency medical technician while working toward her bachelor of science degree in biology from SUNY Geneseo. She then earned a doctor of osteopathic medicine degree from the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine. Shanahan trained with the United States Army Health Professions scholarship program, which allowed her to complete her family medicine internship and residency at Dwight David Eisenhower Medical Center in Fort Gordon, GA. She worked as a primary care physician for
new recruits and active duty soldiers, serving as both the medical director and physician coordinator. BCH CEO Nils Gunnersen called Shanahan “talented,” adding that the community will benefit from her experience. “We are very fortunate to continually recruit talented providers to our rural facility,” Gunnersen said in a press release. Shanahan also served as a primary care physician for the Warrior Transition Unit at Fort Sill, OK. While working with the WTU, Shanahan helped care for wounded, ill and injured soldiers who required extensive rehabilitative services or complex medical care. “With her background as a military physician, Dr. Shanahan is a tremendous addition to our area’s medical community,” Gunnersen said. The Bertrand Chaffee Hospital Primary Care center is accepting new patients and accepts most insurance carriers. For more information on the primary care center, visit www.BertrandChaffee. com or call 592-2871.

A 2012 New York state law was recently amended to make streets safer for volunteer firefighters and emergency medical technicians. Known as the “move over law,” the law now requires motorists to slow down and change lanes when they see blue or green flashing lights. The changes were made to improve the safety of volunteer firefighters and ambulance workers who use their personal vehicles to respond to roadside emergencies.

The Threepenny Opera at SCA July 28 - Aug. 7
From L to R: Zack Martin as Mr. Peachum, Emily Barger as Polly Peachum, Rachel Moses as Mrs. Peachum, Kimberly Pukay as Lucy Brown and Grant Cleaveland as Tiger Brown.
Amidst the coronation of Queen Victoria, the undesirable, hidden part of society - the lowlifes of London, scheme, love and betray each other in this “opera for beggars” from composer Kurt Weill and playwright Bertolt Brecht. Peachum, ruler of the beggars, sentences Macheath (Mack the Knife) to hang after marrying his daughter without permission. One of Macheath’s frequent acquaintances at the brothel gives him up to the police for a small sum. Will Mack’s cunning, his crew of thieves, or the Queen herself save this man? Designed as a satirization of traditional opera
and staged more as a typical musical, Threepenny first opened amidst the crushing economic conditions of The Weimar Republic in Germany but still jabs at contemporary times with comments about the thievery of high finance and those left behind in the “postrecession” economy. The cast includes high school and college students Zackary Martin, Rachel Moses, Melyssa Prouty, Emily Barger, Gavin Hurley, Corrinne Greene, Grant Cleaveland, Sarah Guadagna, Kimberly Pukay, Lily Katz, Jack Lillin, Tyler Brennen, Victoria Ehrig, Chrissy Lillis,
Amanda Maybray, Gillian Gurganus, Rhyannon Davis and is directed by Han Taub. Performances take place at the Mongerson Theater at Springville Center for the Arts at 37 N Buffalo Street on July 28, 29, 30 and Aug. 5, 6 at 8 p.m. and July 31 and Aug. 7 at 2 p.m. Tickets are available online at SpringvilleArts. org or by calling the Center at (716) 592-9038 for $15 or $12 students and seniors. The show contains innuendo about mature themes and the narrative centers around prostitutes, beggars and crooked policemen.

facebook.com/ SpringvilleTimes In addition to the lounges, a drive-up service garage adjacent to the service desk can accommodate up to six vehicles. Woodruff explained that service customers can pull into the garage, and walk to the service desk without having to go outside in inclement weather. Emerling Ford now also has a delivery garage for new vehicles, where customers can pick up their vehicles. “We wanted it to be nice, to be right,” Woodruff said. “Everyone put in ideas, we worked together to make this customer and employee friendly.” Working together as a dealership team isn’t a new concept for President Carl Emerling, Vice President Evan Emerling and the Emerling Ford employees. Woodruff said they operate knowing that employee satisfaction equals customer satisfaction. As general manager, he leads by example, picking up extra work if it needs to be done. “If the toilet needs to be cleaned, I do it, we all work together,” he said. The team of 84 employees, Woodruff said, works well together because they’ve been together for a while. Of the total number of employees at Emerling Ford, 22 have been

with the dealership for 20 years and 36 have more than 10 years with Emerling. Woodruff was named general manager in August of 1986 when the dealership opened on West Main Street, and he still has two employees, Randy Oakes and Bob Fancher, who were original employees, who moved with the dealership to its South Cascade location in 1989 and stayed during the 2015 renovation. Retention of employees helps keep the dealership operating smoothly, Woodruff said. They’ve gotten into a rhythm, which helps communication between departments. “We’re nice to each other. We don’t fight, we don’t care for that,” he said. Being nice to people extends to the customer, of course, and is one of the reasons Emerling Ford was awarded its 19th consecutive President’s Award in June. Joining only two other dealerships in the country who have accomplished that streak,
Woodruff said Emerling Ford’s commitment to being nice to people is what got them there. “We’re nice to people, that’s it. Very seldom do we have an unhappy customer,” he said. “Obviously you can’t make everyone happy … but if you don’t try you didn’t do your job.” In addition to customer satisfaction, the President’s Award looks at sales expectancy and purchases. To be eligible, dealerships must have a 90 percent sales expectancy; in 2015 Emerling Ford had a 357.4 percent sales expectancy. They also received between 600 and 700 customer surveys, distributed by Ford Motor Company, and had the highest customer satisfaction rate in the Pittsburgh region. “That’s huge. That’s from West Virginia to Cleveland [Ohio] to Rochester to Pittsburgh [Pennsylvania],” he said. “We’re just a well-oiled machine.”
