Summer Music Fest Weekend Has Arrived
July 3-5 Summer Music Festival Holiday Valley
There’s no better place to spend the Fourth of July weekend than Ellicottville, where great music meets the excitement and scenery of Holiday Valley. Kick off the holiday weekend with a Top of the Mountain Party on July 3. Take the nearly mile-long chairlift ride up Mardi Gras to a celebration, complete with drinks and hors d’oeuvres. After a ride back to the base of the mountain, the party will continue at Holiday Valley’s Main Lodge with a Caribbean Poker Night, where guests can use the “funny money” that comes with your party ticket to grow your pot and use it to bid on a variety of great auction items. Then, celebrate July 4 with music by the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra (BPO), which takes the stage at 8 p.m. The 80-piece orchestra will be playing favorites from the Star Wars movies, while characters entertain the crowd. The sure-to-impress finale will pair the BPO with choreographed fireworks. Classic rock anyone? On Sunday, July 5, join the GRAMMY® winning Blood, Sweat and Tears for the final night of the music festival weekend. The band is fronted by American Idol runnerup, Bo Bice, and will take the stage after Buffalo’s own Caitlin Koch, former X-Factor competitor. Parking for all events is free, and packing a picnic and

Spring 2015 Progress Report:
EVL’s Getting It Done
By Jann Wiswall
Spring in Ellicottville isn’t just about daffodils and tulips. It’s also about gettin’ stuff done! Once the snow melts, all the projects that have been hibernating through winter get started with a roar of construction vehicle engines. Okay, maybe roads and infrastructure aren’t all that exciting, but they make possible all the other
great resort town amenities and innovations that we love. To that end, local governments are working on several major infrastructure projects throughout the area that will enhance the visitor experience for years to come. The Town of Ellicottville has completed a large and important water project that will alleviate water pressure problems throughout the area, improve fire hydrant performance and allow expansion efforts for public safety and development. The project required installing a new water tank on the east side of Ellicottville and connecting its water lines. With the completion of the tank, the Village of Ellicottville can begin construction of a $4.9 million wastewater treatment plant. The new plant, part of a consent order by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, involves extensive electrical upgrades, new See Spring 2015 in Review page 6

Kubicki Retiring After 26 Years at Holiday Valley By Jann Wiswall
Ron Kubicki, Holiday Valley’s Director of Snowsports, is retiring three days before he turns 67 in November. “I don’t really know what I’ll do with retirement yet, but I do know I’ll be skiing without a radio next season,
so I won’t be interrupted on the way down the hill!” It’s been a long and successful career for Kubicki, who started working at age 12 at the old Glenwood Acres ski area. “I was only interested in making money at that age. I See Kubicki Retirement page 11

Landscape Photography at Ellicottville Library Cathy Peters is the featured artist at the Ellicottville Memorial Library this summer. The exhibition of photography is a beautiful and evocative collection of landscapes from her two homes; here in Cattaraugus County, New York, and in the desert of Arizona. The two worlds are portrayed with sensitivity and an appreciation of the natural beauty of each environment. Ms. Peters has had a lifelong appreciation for art and ďŹ ne crafts, but turned to an artist herself when she acquired a camera. She enjoys photographing landscapes, but is particularly intrigued by the ora and fauna of our area: ďŹ nding a hidden mushroom, a sparkling waterfall, an unusual animal, bird, or insect. The Ellicottville Memorial Library is located at 6499 Maples Road in Ellicottville, NY. Hours are 10 to 5 daily except Sunday. Evening hours are 5-8 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday.

By Kathleen G. Moriarty, Peters & Moriarty, Attorneys and Counselors of Law
The Town Board of Ellicottville will hold a public hearing on its proposed Local Alarm Law at its next Town Board meeting, July 15, 2015. Although New York statutes provide most of the laws that govern the operation of Towns (and Villages, Cities, Counties, etc.), local municipalities are permitted to create their own laws if New York law is silent on the matter and so long as the local law does not conflict with
our state law. Local alarm laws are common across New York State, and they serve important purposes – both to protect the public safety and to “keep the peace” from a nuisance standpoint. Unfortunately, many alarm calls are false alarms caused by operator error, wind blowing a door open, a bird getting into the house, etc. If law enforcement officers and fire departments are repeatedly responding to false alarms, then they are potentially spending less time responding to actual emergency calls. To curb these false alarms, many municipalities adopt a local law that allows them to fine property owners where the number of false alarms is excessive. Most local alarm laws provide for one or two false alarms before penalties are imposed, but they provide an incentive to make sure the alarm is in working order.
Eddie Szpaicher Golf Classic July 15
Americana Continued from front page
In addition, a live auction of art by fair participants on Saturday at 2 p.m. will benefit the Rotary Club of Ellicottville.
Saturday will also feature a quilting workshop and quilt show all day at the Episcopal Church, across Washington
Street from the Gazebo. The event is free to all and there will be entertainment in the Gazebo featuring the Red Gray on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. with a surprise artist on Sunday. The Rotary Club hot dog cart will also be there, along with some great homemade baked goods for all to enjoy. Are you an artist and want to join in the fun? Bob McCarthy, an event organizers, notes that there is still room for artists to display their wares. It’s open to artists of all ages— the only requirements are that the items being sold are made by the person selling them, and that one item is donated to the auction. If interested, just show up that day and set up a free space. For more information, call Bob McCarthy at 378-0916.

Although not a public safety concern, false alarms are disruptive to individuals and businesses within earshot. Most laws require that alarms have an automatic cut off so that they can’t go on indefinitely – especially in a town like Ellicottville where many residents are not here regularly. If adopted, the Local Alarm Law proposed by the Town of Ellicottville will require an automatic cut off after fifteen minutes. Alarms without an automatic cut off will be fined in addition to the false alarm schedule. If Ellicottville’s proposed Local Alarm Law is adopted, property owners utilizing an alarm system will be required to register their alarm with the Town Clerk. The Local Alarm Law will be available to the public for review on July 10, 2015.
The 2015 Eddie Szpaicher Golf Classic is one of the area’s most enduring tournaments as hundreds have joined in to play and honor their friend and colleague, the late Ed Szpaicher. But the event has another purpose. It raises funds for the Ed Szpaicher Memorial Awards, a scholarship program that already has awarded $10,000 to deserving, collegebound ECS students in its first three years of existence. The 2015 award winners are Hannah Doro, who will attend St. Lawrence University in the fall, and Molly Woodarek, who is headed to Jamestown Community College. The July 15 classic will raise funds for next year’s awardees, so get your registration in for the fourth annual tournament today!
“We’re running at about the same registration numbers as last year,” said event organizer Jay Stoddard. “People seem to wait until the two weeks prior to the tournament to sign up, so we hope to have everyone registered by July 10 or so. But we can always make room for someone.” The party starts the night before the classic with early registration (and packet pickup with pre-paid registration) from 6-8 p.m. at the Holiday Valley Cabana Bar. Each registrant will receive two drink coupons and hors d’oeuvres will be available. Fred ‘N Tuck will perform live music and the first 50 registrants will receive a gift. There will also be a Closest to the Pin Contest. Guests who are not playing in the tournament may attend the
Tuesday kick-off party for just $25. It’s a good idea to register early to avoid the rush on tournament day, but onsite registration will be available at 7 a.m. and at noon. Wednesday’s shotgun starts are at 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. The day ends with 6 p.m. cocktails at the Cabana Bar followed by a 7 p.m. dinner. Cost is $125 for both golf and dinner and $50 for dinner only. Full registration includes 18 holes of golf with cart, lunch, drink coupons (two if you register Tuesday night), beer on the course, complimentary gifts, dinner, entertainment and a free pass to the Holiday Valley pools. Check payments only are being accepted now and must be mailed to P.O. Box 131, Ellicottville, NY 14731. Be sure to list the names of all players in your group along with morning or afternoon tee time preference. For all the details, visit www. bigedgolf.com. Special overnight accommodation rates are available at the Tamarack Club and Inn at Holiday Valley. For reservations, call (716) 699-0020 and mention the Ed Szpaicher Golf Classic. If you have questions, please contact Stoddard at mandjstoddard1@ hotmail.com.

The Hidden Benefits of Exercise
By Kim Duke NETA & AFAA Certified Trainer
We have just experienced the coldest February on record and now the wettest June?! For folks looking forward to getting outdoors to exercise, this month has been a bust! Even I have had a hard time motivating myself on rainy weekends like this one that just passed. However, we must motivate ourselves. Whether you are exercising to shed pounds, tone muscle and look better, your body is not the only thing that benefits from exercise. Numerous research studies have uncovered many other benefits to working out – ones that aren’t necessarily visible from the outside. Here are some of the awesome ways exercise can benefit your mind, body and soul:
It zaps anxiety. Ever notice that you can start a workout feeling stressed and anxious and end it feeling good? It isn’t in your head. Or, actually, it is: According to a new study from Princeton University, exercise appears to change the chemistry of the brain by causing the release of GABA, a neurotransmitter that helps quiet brain activity and minimize anxiety. The study found that people who ran regularly had a low reaction to stressful situations, even if they hadn’t run in more than 24 hours. It boosts immunity. Regular exercise can reduce your risk of certain serious health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes and some cancers. It can also decrease your chances of developing -and getting stuck with -- more common illnesses, such as the flu and colds. It brings on better sleep. If you’re having sleep problems, skip the pills and hit the pool, track or fitness studio. According to numerous studies, people who exercised regularly for about 10 weeks reported sleeping better than they had previously. What exactly does “better” mean? In this case, it translated to dozing off faster and having

a decreased need for sleeppromoting medication. It decreases PMS. Women often report feeling irritable and bloated before their periods, but exercise appears to minimize these symptoms. In a survey of nearly 2,000 New Zealand women, researchers found that those who exercised, rested and wrote in a journal about their symptoms fared better than those who took specific vitamins or followed other DIY advice. It gets you in the mood. If you feel good about yourself you are more apt to feel sexy-but that’s not the main reason exercise can lead to intimacy. For men, exercise can lower the risk of erectile dysfunction, and it gives both genders stamina and feel-good vibes about the body. It strengthens the brain. Studies have found that working out can lessen the severity of memory problems in older adults, and may even decrease the risk of diseases like Alzheimer’s. It can also have a positive benefit on the brain function of younger people. So, whatever you choose to do as your form of exercise, the benefits you will gain will far outweigh any excuse that keeps you from moving your body in the right direction.
equipment and new systems. Ultimately, the new plant will upgrade the aging system the area currently relies on and will provide for future development. Fortunately, the village was able to obtain a zero percent loan from the state that means taxpayers will see little or no increase in their sewer bills related to this project. While that project is not particularly noticeable to passersby, two major Ellicottville road projects are a bit more obvious. One is the NYS Department of Transportation’s nearly completed work on a project that began last year. It involves constructing a new sidewalk along Route 242 from HoliMont to the village, improving handicapped ramps at several village intersections and improving the intersection at Route 219/Elizabeth Street/Fillmore Drive. Once completed, the project will provide for a more walkable, navigable Ellicottville. The other is a major road project that involves rerouting Holiday Valley Road between the Tamarack Club and Valley Village. The new route will head up the hill across from Tamarack, along the top of the existing third tier parking lot and back around to the existing roadway. The existing road in front of the lodge, administration and operations buildings will be removed and replaced with more parking and a wide area with steps and landscaping leading to the main lodge. The project will improve both traffic flow and pedestrian safety year-round. Watch carefully for detour and construction signs throughout the area as these projects proceed. Meanwhile, at the Ellicottville Central School (ECS), significant construction progress is being made on the $9.8 million renovation project that includes a new multi-purpose gymnasium, renovation of 10 classrooms, repair of the elementary school’s ventilation systems and more. Now that school is out for the summer, workers have already begun knocking through walls to start bringing the old and new spaces together. When completed in January, ECS will be able to offer expanded arts, music and athletic programs in addition to new academic opportunities for all of its K-12 students. Big Changes for Small Businesses It’s been a great spring for Core Performance Fitness, located in the Ellicottville Square building on Bristol Lane off Fillmore Street in the Village.

Duke now has space for more and larger classes and offers showers, a TRX station and plenty of room for strength training. The space Duke vacated has been leased by Brittany Lowry who will be opening a wholesale food preparation business there. Wholesome Hideaway will specialize in dairy-free, gluten-free, peanutfree and other items that cater to people with special dietary needs or requests. Lowry expects to be able to expand her offerings beyond specialty granola bars and other items that are already being sold to retailers. New Residential/Vacation Opportunities The owners of the Gin Mill have purchased and are fully renovating 26-28 Washington St., the building at the corner of Washington and Monroe streets in the center of the village. This late 1800s building with an illustrious history is being restored to its original splendor. Plans call for a new restaurant on the

first floor and renovated rental apartments for vacationers on the second floor. If you’re looking to invest in the Ellicottville vacation scene, you should take a look at several new residential communities that are in various stages of planning and development in and outside the Village. One of Ellicottville’s most historic buildings, the 1887 schoolhouse building at the corner of Jefferson and Washington streets, is being restored to its finest, as the new owners turn the interior into a 7-10 unit luxury condominium with underground parking. Two new housing developments are being planned on Fillmore Street: the Glendale project, a townhouse community with nine buildings (18 units) on the east side, and the Sprague project, a 19-lot, single-family home subdivision, on the west side. Just beyond the village off Poverty Hill Road, developers are creating 42 Degrees North, a 144-acre resort off Poverty Hill Road. The resort, which will feature 24 lots on 5-8 acres each, will be a fourseason vacation property with a community lodge, tennis, a swimming pool, a Nordic spa, event space, designated trails and more. And in the town of Mansfield on HoliMont property, construction of the first of the single-family homes at WestMont Ridge has begun. Plus, 18 new condominium buildings with four units each (72 total) that will be located in the Sunset area are in the design and planning stages. Stay tuned to the Ellicottville Times via Facebook and at www.ellicottvilletimes.com for regular news and information about new projects, attractions and additions to the community.

Road Construction Update
Expect Delays Road construction season has begun in earnest around Cattaraugus County and several state Department of Transportation (DOT) projects in the region are likely to cause some travel delays. On I-86, phase 2 of the DOT’s highway improvement project that began last year is now underway. Travelers can expect one lane in each direction between the towns of Carrolton and Allegany to be closed through the end of the 2015 construction season. In addition, traffic in both directions between Exit 26 – NY 16 to the AlleganyCattaraugus County line periodically will be reduced to one lane. Note: speeds are reduced in construction zones. In the town and village of Ellicottville, the DOT is nearing completion of the “HoliMont sidewalk” project. On Rt. 242 between HoliMont and the Village, expect single-line traffic in alternating directions with temporary traffic lights. Please use caution in these areas and watch for construction vehicles and flaggers. More information is available 24/7 at 511ny.org.

But Corey soon realizes something the U.S. government doesn’t: The all-too-real threat of a newly resurgent Russia. When Vasily Petrov, a colonel in the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service posing as a diplomat with the Russian U.N.

Is there a possible nuclear threat, a so-called radiant angel? Will Corey find Petrov and put a stop to whatever he has planned before it’s too late? Or will Corey finally be outrun and outsmarted, with America facing the prospect of a crippling attack unlike anything it’s ever seen before? Prescient and chilling.

EVL Young Writers and Illustrators Awards Banquet Draws a Crowd By Mary Heyl
Last Wednesday, the Ellicottville Rotary Club honored an impressive group of students who have been exploring the art of storytelling, in all its forms, all year long: the Ellicottville Young Writers and Illustrators Club. Led by Katie Benatovich, the club is made up of 36 students in grades 4-6 from Ellicottville Central School who gather for weekly workshops at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. “Each workshop is different,” says Benatovich, “because we explore all aspects of storytelling, including writing, illustrating, design, oral storytelling and more.” Wednesday’s banquet recognized each student’s dedication and creativity in completing an entire school year of workshops; it was also a celebration of all those who make such a club possible. Now in its third year, the EVL Young Writers and Illustrators Club has been sponsored by Rotary’s Foundation for Youth since its inception, said Rotary member and past president Greg Cappelli. The Foundation was created in 2005 to sponsor a range of projects for area youth. A few years ago, the Rotary Club sponsored a very special project: it published Benatovich’s children’s book, C is for Courage, the proceeds of which she donated to Camp Good Days, an organization that benefits children affected by cancer. This began the club’s relationship with Benatovich and the collaboration that formed the EVL Young Writers and Illustrators Club. “There are several groups who work together to make this writers club possible,” according to Benatovich. “Thanks to Rotary and the library, we have a wonderful place to meet. The school kindly buses students to the library after school on Wednesdays and parents pick up their children at the end of the workshop.” Indeed, this team effort was celebrated last Wednesday night when some 90 students,
parents and Rotary members gathered in the Rotary Club Auditorium at the EVL Town Center. Writers Club members received certificates of achievement for completing the workshops, and the club’s volunteers who worked all year in developing and presenting workshops were honored. The club’s achievements were also celebrated with a delicious meal of spaghetti and meatballs donated by Michael and Patti DiPaolo, owners of Italian restaurant Ilio DiPaolo’s in Blasdell, New York. “Not only did the DiPaolos donate the entire meal, but Michael DiPaolo served as our chef for the evening,” said Cappelli. “It was delicious!” At the banquet, Benatovich gave a presentation about the club’s past projects and upcoming workshops. Author of six tri-lingual children’s books, Benatovich’s enthusiasm for storytelling is unmistakable. “I love books, reading and sharing that joy with children,” said Benatovich. “This club allows children to explore what they’re learning at school in many different ways.” Benatovich explained that students have participated in workshops involving written skits, acrostic poetry and several performance-based forms of storytelling, including stage combat and stunt work! “I like to share the passions and talents we have among our club members and volunteers,” she said. One volunteer is pursuing an education in animation and shared with the club the process of storytelling through animation. Another workshop leader shared with the club her passion as an artist and led members through a workshop
involving animal drawing. Calligraphy, coin design and even this month’s yoga workshop all encourage and inspire students to express themselves through mediums and modes they may not have ever experienced before. Benatovich often bases workshops on “what’s around us,” including Allegheny State Park, which is a workshop in the making for next year. Although many of the club’s members are unsure of exactly what kind of career they may pursue, their experience in the Young Writers and Illustrators Club has inspired the kind of growth that is its own reward. “This club is about seeing possibilities. Students are discovering talents, trying new things and developing new interests that will take them far,” said Benatovich. Thanks to the EVL Rotary Club’s sponsorship, the Young Writers and Illustrators Club is free for any ECS student in grades 4-6. The club begins meeting at the end of September through the end of the school year and welcomes new members, including those who participate in other extracurricular activities and athletics. Interested in supporting the Young Writers and Illustrators Club? Cappelli encourages individuals to attend Tuscan Moon, a gourmet dinner party and tribute to Michael Kerns, which will be held on Saturday, August 29 at Holiday Valley. Ellicottville’s top restaurants will be serving their finest Italian specialties; all proceeds will benefit the Rotary Foundation for Youth and Family Support for Ellicottville.

Trail Talk Continued from front page
Ellicottville and Great Valley are planning this trail network to link and expand a multitude of spring, summer and fall programming facilities. Mountain biking and on-road bicycling are already highly popular activities in the region. The trail will accommodate bicyclers as well as families, children, walkers, joggers and other users by creating a safe, comfortable and accessible, non-motorized transportation and recreation system. Since completing the Master Plan for the trail last year, the trail board has applied for a $1.8 million grant through the New York State DOT’s Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) program. The grant, which was submitted in early June, would fund the section of trail from
Ellicottville Central School to the Town Center. While the board waits for news on the grant (probably in November), it is energetically working on a number of other fronts to make the trail a reality. A huge step was taken with the appointment of Joe Wright as development and fundraising director. Wright, whose 10-15 hours/week on the job is being underwritten by EllicottVillas owner and Buffalo business leader Jim Cornell, has been working with the board and various committees to develop a vibrant awareness campaign that includes a website, a point-of-sale system to accept donations, boosting social media activities and more. In addition, the board is preparing for a formal ground breaking of the trail head and the first 800 feet of trail in the coming months.
EVGV Trail committee members will be staffing trail tables at Holiday Valley on July 4 and 5 during summer festival, and will have an informational booth in the village of Ellicottville near the gazebo during the arts and crafts show both days. Be sure to purchase raffle tickets for an “All Things Ellicottville” basket. A similar basket was raffled off during the Holiday Valley Mudslide Obstacle Run on June 20 and was a huge hit with the winner – Marcy Burkett of West Seneca – who went home with a load of goodies valued at more than $600! You can also look forward to seeing the trail booth at the Jazz and Blues Festival Weekend (July 24-26), the Taste of Ellicottville (August 15-16) and Fall Festival (Oct. 10-11).

East Otto Town Board Minutes The following was submitted by Ann Rugg, East Otto town clerk, to the Ellicottville Times. Comments and questions should be directed to Town Supervisor James Beach, P.O. Box 47, East Otto, NY 14729. The June meeting of the East Otto Town Board was called to order at 8:14 p.m. by Supervisor James Beach on Tuesday June 9, 2015. Jim led the pledge to the Flag. Present were councilmen Dave Forster, William Spors and Mike Poch, Highway Superintendent Tom Benz and CEO Jeff Holler. Councilman Rich Grey was excused. Guests present were Bob Bowen, Michael and Leah Guerin and Constable Douglas Faulk Michael and Leah Guerin again addressed the board concerning TrafďŹ c Street. They presented the Board with several documents which they feel support their position that TrafďŹ c Street by law should be maintained all year. They also presented documentation they feel supports their position that the signs, which are posted at both ends of the road and at the juncture where the road is closed, are placed illegally and should be removed each year when the road is opened. A resolution was presented to establish the working hours for the Dog Control OfďŹ cer Mary Dankert. Highway: Tom reported that the cost of the insulation for the shop would be between $2,100 and $2,200 for 10-inch R-30 unfaced. The shop employees will install the insulation after it is purchased. The shop employees did not get to the playground equipment replacement. Tom got the OK from Burdock’s Blueberries for the reclamation of the gravel pit. The contractor has ďŹ nished the work agreed upon, however the DEC has some concerns. It seems that the contractor dug
down too far in some areas and now there is standing water. Also, the berm needs to be feathered down and the seeding was inadequate. The contractor will have to take care of these issues at his own expense. Tom will take care of mulching after the reseeding is done. There is some additional work that was not part of the original bid on the Burdick side which needs to be done. Tom will speak to the contractor about doing the work as long as he will be there anyway. Tom met with Jim Beach, Mr. Peterson, School Superintendent and Maria Stang, Director of Transportation at the TrafďŹ c Street turnaround. They discussed the buses turning around as well as the Town vehicles. Currently both are using Mr. Guerin’s driveway. Mr. Guerin has requested that the town maintain a speciďŹ c number of feet at the end of the driveway if the town and school are planning to continue using it. Tom is waiting for DEC approval to create a new turnaround closer to the section of the road that is maintained seasonally. Tom also stated that he has been asked by Mr. Guerin to “turn a blind eyeâ€? to the fact that private citizens are plowing the seasonal limited use highway known as TrafďŹ c Street during the months that the town does not plow or maintain the road. Tom spoke to legal counsel at the highway school he recently attended about TrafďŹ c Street. He was told that as long as access is not being denied to the property owner, the town is within their legal right to limit access to the road. Tom has been advised that if persons are plowing the road, they need to contact their insurance company and name the Town of East Otto as additionally insured. This means that they will assume the liability for plowing the road.
CEO Report: Jeff answered 16 calls, completed ďŹ ve inspections, four permits (1 cabin, 1 addition, 1 solar energy system and 1 pool) and issued one stop work order on Bowen Rd. The Town needs to hire someone to be responsible for the entire process of setting up the summer Youth Program. It was suggested that the Town contact the Cattaraugus –Little Valley School for someone who might be interested. Ann will review the information and give applications to anyone interested. Jeff Forster received 3 responses to his inquiries for quotes for the re-evaluation. He only received one quote from TSL Co. The Town will hire TSL Co. to begin the reevaluation for $28,000. Jim will draft a “Hold Harmlessâ€? agreement for anyone contracted to do business with or for the Town of East Otto. There was some discussion on painting and scraping the town hall building. No one has responded to the inquiries made. The EOPS have requested to use the Town Hall Property for their annual Community Day. They have requested to have the building be available for viewing for a few hours. The Board agreed to accept the request. The Town will purchase the hotdogs, rolls and condiments for the celebration on July 25. The mortgage tax apportionment was received in the amount of $5,469.96. A letter was received from Jeff Forster withdrawing his resignation and was accepted by the board. The next meeting will be July 14, 2015. Dave asked that the Highway Dept. mow the ďŹ eld behind the Ball Diamond. The meeting was adjourned at 10:25 p.m.
Happy Independence Day!

had never skied before.â€? But it didn’t take long before the skiing bug got him. Over the years, he worked in various capacities at The Mountain, Kissing Bridge and Buffalo Ski Club as a groomer, lift mechanic, snowmaker and, soon, ski instructor. Off season, he worked construction and was a truck driver, but his passion soon became teaching, and in 1989, he joined Holiday Valley as supervisor of the ski school. In 2000, he almost resigned. He had purchased his own truck and was going to drive full time. But then the snowsports director position became available and he was encouraged to apply. He sold that truck. For the past 15 years, Kubicki has focused on improving the ski school experience for instructors and students alike. He hired great people who love teaching as much as he does. He made some stafďŹ ng policy changes that made it easier to retain instructors and reduce attrition.
He focused on families and attracting kids to the sport by creating new programs and working through schools and clubs to offer group events, ďŹ eld trips and other economical ways to enjoy the sport. He served on the board of the Eastern Division of the Professional Ski Instructors Association-American Association of Snowboard Instructors (PSIA-E/AASI) as secretary, vice president, president and, currently, immediate past president. In this capacity, he represented some 10,000 members and helped negotiate a new afďŹ liation agreement with the national PSIA-AASI. And personally, he taught generations of families to ski and snowboard. Dennis Eshbaugh, Holiday Valley’s president, said that “Ron has been part of many successes,â€? at the resort. “The results have made our snowsports program better for the customers, the staff and for Holiday Valley.â€? Given that the resort consistently ranks in Ski
Magazine’s top ten for family services, Kubicki’s impact is measurable. Kubicki notes that during each season he supervised some 250 instructors who have thousands of interactions every day with Holiday Valley’s guests. “Being accountable for all of their actions is a huge responsibility,� he says. “He was rock solid and consistent in his leadership,� Eshbaugh added, “and he always appreciated every individual team member for producing a great lesson or a special experience.� Kubicki’s advice for his successor is to “be an advocate for your staff.� His parting advice for all skiers and snowboarders? “Take lessons! You can always get better!� Eshbaugh adds: “We extend our admiration and appreciation of his leadership. I thank Ron for his service, and wish him the very best in the years ahead.�

The Holiday Valley’s 18-hole, par 70 Double Black Diamond Golf Course is one of the best redesigns, according to Golf Magazine, and it’s as beautiful as it is challenging, blending at and mountainous terrain. The 15-acre practice facility includes a 300-yard driving range, covered and grass tees, target greens and a ball machine. Try a lesson from the prestigious Phil Ritson/Mel Sole Golf School or join a summer league!

The weekend also includes an Art & Craft Show, Pet Parade and popular Strawberry Festival. Sway to the beat during Jazz and Blues Weekend July 24-26. Stroll the sidewalks to ďŹ nd street-side and indoor performances throughout the village. Peruse the car show and keep an eye out for “Elvisâ€? as you enjoy talented musicians. Cowboy Action The annual Ellicottville Championship Rodeo rides into town July2-5. Several hundred cowboys perform exciting rodeo events. There’s also a Stick Horse Rodeo for the kids, plus silly clowns for a weekend of family fun. The Enchanted Mountains also offer miles of excellent horseback riding trails.

Take in a horse show, visit a Friesian farm or delight in an authentic chuck wagon dinner on a working ranch. Summer Favorites The Americana Folk Art Fair, July 18-19, instills creativity in children and captures the artistic spirit of the community with sculptors, weavers, spinners, metal smiths, quilters, local foods and live music.

Miles of Trails You can look forward to exploring the future Ellicottville–Great Valley Recreational Trail connecting these two towns as it meanders through the village and into the countryside – perfect for jogging, biking and walking the family dog. Other regional trails like the Allegheny River Valley Trail and the Pat McGee Trail stretch for miles through a variety of ecosystems, or try singletrack trails in nearby Golden Hill and McCarty Hill State Forests. Garden Stroll The 8-acre Nannen Arboretum is beautiful in any season with its large collection of shrubs, flowers and trees, as well as reflecting spots like the Ryoanji Temple Stone Garden, Amano Hashidate Bridge and the Lowe Herb Garden.

Take Aim For the second year, 1,300+ bowhunters will compete at Holiday Valley Aug. 6-9 during the 31st International Bowhunters Organization World Championship, which brings shooters together to promote, encourage and foster the sport of bowhunting. Festival Time Rock N’ Roll Weekend, Sept. 18-20, talented regional acts take to street and indoor stages in village hot spots for some serious electric guitar, eclectic shopping and great food. On Sept. 20, peek under the hoods of cool cars, trucks and hotrods in the 16th annual Classic Car Show, with awards in each class. Fall is a spectacular time to visit Ellicottville when the hills are ablaze in color. The annual Fall Festival, Oct. 10-11, annually welcomes tens of thousands of visitors to the captivating village of Ellicottville. It’s a lively weekend of family fun with chairlift rides, children’s amusements, fine art and crafts, ski sales, the Fall Festival 5K Run and Fall Festival Mountain Bike Race, food and plenty of live music.
