Ellicottville Championship LIVE Music Rodeo Marks 30 Years By Rich Place
When John Kent was growing up, he wanted to be in the rodeo. As a teenager, he’d break horses and he learned to ride them with hopes of one day getting in an arena. “I wanted to go to rodeos and my mommy wouldn’t let me,” said Kent with a laugh. “I was interested in the rodeo back when I was a kid.” Kent may have never become a competitor but his involvement in rodeos has spanned decades as he has owned and managed the Ellicottville Championship Rodeo on Sommerville Valley Road alongside his wife, Karen, for 30 years.

LARAINE NEWMAN
By Rick Miller
Town of Great Valley Bicentennial officials were delighted with the turnout at Saturday’s Bicentennial Vintage Aircraft Fly-In — both with the number of pilots and visitors. Hot temperatures didn’t deter people from coming and looking at the vintage aircraft — 1960 models and earlier. At the other end of the airport runway, dozens of more modern and some experimental aircraft that had flown in were on display. Great Valley Historian Marilyn Siperek said about 75 aircraft, vintage and more modern, were part of the airshow. “There were already three vintage planes on the ground by the time I got here at 7 a.m.,” Siperek said. “Our volunteers have been so great.” Siperek’s late father, Neal Eddy, opened the 3,800-foot grass airstrip in 1985. A 1942 North American AT-6 advanced Army trainer owned Photo by Rick MIller by Ralph Wolstenholme of Westfield, Pa., probably drew the most One of the most popular aircraft at Saturday’s Great Valley attention from visitors. Not only was the World War II trainer an Bicentennial Vintage Aircraft Fly-In at the Great Valley impressive aircraft, when it took off in mid-afternoon, the pilot Airport was this 1942 North American T-6 trainer owned by Ralph Wolstenholme of Westfield, Pa. Upon leaving, he circled back for a loud, low-level fly-over. “We’re overwhelmed with diversity, the different eras the planes returned for a loud fly-over. With more modern aircraft that represent and the great people also flew in for the event, there were probably 40 aircraft. See Vintage Aircraft page 12

COMMUNITY Springville Fiddle Fest July 28
along Main Street. We are looking forward to an afternoon of great music, delicious food, and interesting events for the whole family to enjoy... It’s an exciting afternoon with three music venues and lots to see and do. This year we have food trucks located throughout the festival grounds.” Event Music Coordinator Donna Krzes shared the enthusiasm. “This year we have even more music. We tried to attract young performers with the WNY Fiddle Kids and the Buffalo Bluegrass Youth Ensemble. Many
of the cloggers are young. So there will be music and events for fiddle fans of all ages,” she said. In addition to the music performances, the WNY Clogging Association will have lessons and demonstrations in the Concord Town Hall. The Fiddler’s Green Militia will once again have its popular colonial encampment in Fiddler’s Green Park along with other historic demonstrators including a blacksmith. Heritage Park will host Civil War and other demonstrators and the Antique Car Cruise-in Photo By the Springville Chamber
This year, the Springville Country and Blue Grass Festival features 12 bands along with historic demonstrators, vendors, food trucks, clogging by the WNY Clogging Association, and new this year, an Antique Car Cruise-In. The event starts at 11 a.m. on Saturday, July 28 and runs until 6 p.m. that evening on Franklin Street in Springville at Fiddlers Green Park, Heritage Park, and the Concord Mercantile. Admission is free. Event Chairperson Trudy Stanley said, “We’re thrilled to have added Creek Bend, Panfil Brothers and City Fiddle to our music line-up this year. With a grant from the New York State Council of the Arts, we were able to add a third venue at Heritage Park Gazebo and increase our performances. The community support has been great with the Trading Post also hosting a guest band, Rush the Growler, at their location on Franklin Street. Even the high school Fine Arts Club was involved, watch for the artistic brainteaser signage to be posted
will be in the Heritage Park Parking Lot. The ever popular Jam Tent will be by the SkatePlex. “ Be sure to bring your acoustic instrument to join in on the fun, and for those aspiring musicians there’s free music lessons at the picnic shelter at Heritage Park,” Stanley said. “Don’t forget to visit the Concord Historical Museum and Mercantile where demonstrators and face painters will be located.” The music festival continues Springville’s history of providing music to Concord. Before the Village was incorporated in 1834, the hamlet was known as Fiddlers Green because of the common area where local folks performed. Now it is named Fiddlers Green Park, the site of the Springville Fiddle Fest. For more information, see Springville Fiddle Fest 2018 on Facebook, or visit www. springvillefiddlefest. wordpress.com.

ECS NEWS Here Comes the Sun: A Student’s Perspective on Summer By Louisa Benatovich, ECS Student Reporter
The first day of summer vacation inspires a sense of joy and excitement only otherwise felt by children on Christmas morning. Students anxiously await this day, pencils drumming on desks, eyes fixed on the clock. As soon as that final bell rings, they rush from the school building, a frenzied, screaming mass akin to the bulls of Pamplona. This momentous occasion, extolled in countless works of prose and film, is the lauded catalyst for all things good. Glorious summer—the time of sunshine, suntans, and sunburns— is when you get to sleep late, do nothing, and not feel bad about it. Summer vacation, the movies proclaim endlessly, is when your dreams come true! The older we get, the more the prospect of summer seems un-dreamlike. Gone are the days of the Park Program, soccer camp, and lazing away at the Holiday Valley Pool. Now, as high schoolers, we work at these locations. Sure, we are blessed with
Elsa Woodarek, McKenna Kaleta, and Allison Calarco at 6:30 a.m. morning soccer workout
no more homework or tests, but (I think this is Newton’s First Law) an object at rest stays at rest, and a void left by stress will be filled by more stress. Boy, does summer provide some lovely gems to replace its anxiety-inducing predecessors. Are you going on vacation as a family? Well, let’s fit some college visits in, too. There, the red-
bricked buildings will laugh at you: “Hahaha, I’m going to wring your bank account dry while gifting you chronic sleep deprivation.” For our dedicated coaches, summer is merely preseason. Soccer and football coaches facilitate workouts, often deathly early. We are grateful for these, for both the sweaty euphoria felt
immediately postworkout and how surprisingly strong our bodies have become on the first days of practice in August, but the early mornings take their toll. With summer workouts come summer nap schedules. Summer is a dangerous thing—a veritable eternity of endless time. What is today’s youth supposed
to fill it with? In the glory days, we used our imaginations. Little boys enjoyed bottle rockets, plastic soldiers, and being rowdy. Little girls became princesses, played school, and promenaded plastic dolls down the porch. Thankfully, we’ve edged away from these restrictive gender expectations. We’ve been thrust into the age of technology. In the two weeks after school ends and before summer activities start, we see a change. Deprived of routine and social interaction, students resort to the screen. Hours upon hours of mind-numbing, eyestraining video games and television become the Black Hole of Discipline and Action. Suggestions to go outside, play cards, or even just sit and talk, are met with excuses. “It’s too hot” is my favorite. Have you forgotten your desperate pleas for summer every day since November? As we hit our teens, we slowly break these habits. I’ve gotten 13-year-old boys to agree to make a daily schedule for the summer. I believe the guilt of doing nothing increases
with each summer after 6th grade. Now, these boys and girls latch onto their summer reading projects, desperate for routine to return. If you act wisely, summer is a gift. Two months of time to travel, make money, intern, exercise, apply for all things imaginable, learn to drive, see relatives, catch up with old friends, and figure life out. Sadly, our summers can no longer be for doing nothing. Summer gives us an opportunity to balance our lives, and achieve personal goals that may have otherwise been hindered by school. We have to remember that as adults, summers of rest and relaxation don’t exist. Until we retire, our years will become all flow and rarely ebb. Whether we like it or not, our summer mentality will become increasingly less distinct from our professional one, like our childhood is slowly slipping away. As students at any age, we must balance “work” so we feel like we deserve the “play” because, unfortunately, summer will be gone before we realize it started.

COMMUNITY Local Residents Party in Poodle Skirts at Fly-In
By Deb Everts
Katy’s Fly-In restaurant was the place to be June 29 as guests were transported back to the 1950s at the Poodle Skirts Party. As part of the Town of Great Valley’s Bicentennial activities, the party kicked-off the Fly-In at the Great Valley Airport held June 30 and July 1. Entertained by Generations, an oldies singing group from Olean, many gals came donned in poodle skirts, bobby socks and saddle shoes while some of the tough-guys showed up as greasers. Some of the participants brought their antique and classic cars to the CruiseIn. As one of the organizers, town historian Marilyn Siperek said they found the pilots for the Fly-In by advertising at all the Western New York airports, as well as other out-of-state airports that Paul Carmichael, a local airplane enthusiast with a passion for restoring vintage airplanes, had the occasion to visit. They also sought the assistance of a group of vintage airplane enthusiasts and published information on their aeromail (email) list. Siperek said the idea for the Fly-In was hers. She thought the event was something her father, Neal Eddy, would have done if he were alive and well. “He featured several events in the past, most notably the airshow featuring acrobatic maneuvering planes, and he hosted a stop for a plane replicating the flight of the Vin Fiz,” she recalled. Siperek gave a short history of the airport saying the idea was conceived in 1985 when her father wanted to learn to fly after taking a flying lesson in Florida. She said he talked with Paul Carmichael who was looking for a place to fly his planes from and the plans for the airport were quickly executed. “My dad bought a plane and began taking lessons
from the Great Valley Airport. Shortly thereafter, he had his license,” she said. “Before you knew it, his son and two cousins had their pilot’s licenses. Then several locals joined the ranks of private pilots.” With Carmichael’s connections to the flying community and my Eddy’s storytelling, Siperek said the Great Valley Airport became the place to go for lunch for Western New York pilots. Carmichael, of Ellicottville, who organized the Fly-In is a former director of Career and Technical Education at Cattaraugus-Allegany BOCES. A Certificated Airframe and Powerplant Mechanic, he specializes in WACO Aircraft restoration, and is also a Commercial Pilot SEL, SES, Instrument Rating Certificated Ground Instructor. He was a 2012 EAA Oshkosh Bronze Lindy winner with Waco UPF7 N20979. After his retirement, Carmichael founded Silver Cloud USA, LLC, in 2013, and now works full-time restoring antique airplanes “I invited out-of-town pilots from as far away as Ohio,” he said. “The event was an opportunity for people to bring their older airplanes in and let people see and enjoy them.” One plane was Carmichael’s unassembled
1941 WACO UPF-7 that he will soon be restoring. He said the plane was last flown in 1955 and it was used to train pilots for the Army Aircorp prior to and during World War II. It was also used for the Civilian Pilot Training Program (CPTP), a flight training program (1938-44) sponsored by the United States government. Siperek said approximately 75 planes arrived and departed June 30. On July 1, the Veterans’ Wall of Honor was featured naming Great Valley’s veterans as well as active service people of all eras. The next Town of Great Valley Bicentennial event is scheduled for Saturday, July 21 at 1 p.m. when “Old Home Family Day” will be held at the Great Valley Fire Company. A chicken barbecue will be offered, live music, games for kids, and fireworks; as well as costume, beard and mustache contests. On Sunday, July 22, from 1–5 p.m., there will be another bicentennial event, “Farming: Then and Now” at the Snow Brook Farm, 5346 Snow Brook Road. Vintage farm equipment will be on display and people can do self-driving tours of the Willoughby area from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

“Love and Ruin” by Paula McLain
In 1937, twenty-eight-year-old Martha Gellhorn travels alone to Madrid to report on the atrocities of the Spanish Civil War and becomes drawn to the stories of ordinary people caught in the devastating conflict. It’s the adventure she’s been looking for and her chance to prove herself a worthy journalist in a field dominated by men. But she also finds herself unexpectedly falling in love with Hemingway, a man on his way to becoming a legend. Paula McLain brings Gellhorn’s story richly to life and captures her as a heroine for the ages: a woman who will risk absolutely everything to find her own voice. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. It is also available as a large print book or an audiobook using our interlibrary loan program.

Ellicottville Rodeo
Ellicottville Times
Continued from front page
generous applause of an enthusiastic crowd. Despite being a tradition for three decades around the Independence Day holiday, what was it that first made Kent think Ellicottville — known mostly for its skiing in the late 1980s — would be a good fit for a rodeo? “I’m an odd guy,” he admitted. “But I kind of just knew. Look at the Attica Rodeo, they’ve been up there for 60some years and the Gerry Rodeo has been up there for more than 70 years. I just figured, ‘hell, there’s room for one more.’ “You go to their places and see their crowds and you realize people like rodeos. I’m kind of an entrepreneur — I like to take risks,” he added. What started as a handful of events has grown to 10 in this year’s rodeo, which is scheduled for July 5 to 8. There will be an extra trick rider for a total of four this year, plus all the returning favorites like the rodeo clown, talented announcers and judges, and fireworks to end each evening show. That’s all in addition to the hundreds of cowboys expected to compete for more than $60,000 in prize money over those four days. A rodeo is a unique event to organize — the rodeo events themselves are sanctioned by both the International Professional Riders Association (IPRA) and American Professional Riders Association (APRA), and competitors sign up themselves to compete in Ellicottville. But most of the acts — from the clown act in the arena to the announcer in the booth — are aspects of the show that Kent hires himself. “My rodeo announcer … he’s the top rodeo announcer in the country,” he said. “My clown act, Dusty Myers, he is the top clown.” And Kent isn’t clowning around — Myers has earned Clown of the Year for eight consecutive years. Locally, Kent said work to get the rodeo underway in early July begins at the beginning of March with ordering T-shirts and organizing the upcoming advertisements and sponsorships. His wife, Karen, handles a lot of the paperwork for
insurance and permits, he said. The pair get advertising in local newspapers and on the radio and this year put up 10 area billboards. They’ve been up since the beginning of June. Then comes preparing the arena itself. What is essentially a grassy field for 11 months out of the year is turned into a rodeo arena in a period of a few days. The fencing this year went up about two weeks before the show and sponsor signs were quick to go up after that.
Then comes parts of the show most people don’t notice but that add to the experience, Kent said. That includes a strict mowing schedule the days leading up to the show so grass clippings aren’t all over when guests arrive. “You won’t see that when rodeo time comes because I’ll mow this thing every three days and all that stuff disappears,” Kent said. A self-proclaimed stickler for keeping his property clean, Kent said there is a team that works the events to constantly pick up garbage and ensure trash bags are replaced often. “I despise seeing garbage lay,” he said. “You come here and you pay $20 to get in that gate — you want to see a nice place. We provide that.” It all leads up to the rodeo itself, this year spanning four days right after Independence Day. For a guy who grew up loving the rodeo, Kent admitted when it’s showtime he’s often not watching it himself but keeps busy behind the scenes. That doesn’t mean he’s not paying attention. “I listen to the crowd — I know when we have a good show because the crowd is ‘oohing’ and ‘ahhing’ and applauding and cheering,” he said. “But as far as standing and watching it, no. We’ve got 55 people working. There are things that have to be done.” But in 30 years, he’s still seen his share of action at the Ellicottville Championship Rodeo.
“One year we had a Canadian boy bucked off right here along where the telephone poles are,” he said, pointing to a spot in front of the bleachers. “He landed right there by the bleachers. He got off the ground and sat down on the bleachers between some people. It’s crazy. It’s wild.” There’s also been plenty of great rides and talented cowboys. “We’ve had beautiful rides and high scores,” he said. Twentyeight years ago he started Nightmare Hayrides at the same property, which keeps him busy long into October. His time is also spent selling hay to other farmers, and that’s something that’s kept him busy recently in conjunction with preparing for the rodeo. When the show starts on July 5, he’s hoping for a good crowd. The bleachers hold 1,000, his benches on the hillside hold another 2,000 and there’s plenty of room for people to bring blankets and lawn chairs. Kent said attendance continues to show signs of growth each year and people come from all over — riders from as far as Australia and visitors from across the country and many from right around the area. No, Kent never got into the arena in front of a roaring crowd. But after 30 years of supplying entertainment to tens of thousands of people, it’s safe to say he made a career out of being in the rodeo. The Ellicottville Championship Rodeo takes place at 7 p.m. July 5 to 7 and at 2 p.m. on July 8. Gates open two hours prior to each show to allow guests to walk the various craft vendors and food stands. Fireworks are scheduled to follow each evening show. Adult tickets for those ages 13 and up are $20 at the gate. Tickets for children 12 and under are $12 and children five and under are admitted free.

Gardeners eager to revitalize their lawns and gardens may spend hundreds of dollars on tools and products designed to improve soil and growing conditions. Although many of these items can be advantageous, gardeners also may want to look to nature’s best garden helpers: earthworms. It is believed that nearly 3,000 different types of earthworms inhabit the planet. Worms have been around for hundreds of millions of years. Worms can be seen as bait dangling on fishing lines or as meals for red-

breasted robins. But these subterranean dwellers play their biggest role beneath the soil. Earthworms move through dirt as they search for food. The worms consume particles
in the soil, helping to recycle materials like dead leaves, plant parts, decaying animals, and feces. Through their travels, worms also serve to aerate the soil. Worms bring the subsoil closer to the surface and mix it with the topsoil. Earthworms’ castings also help naturally fertilize the areas in which they reside. The slimy mucus that worms leave behind contains nitrogen, which also helps to amend the soil. The University of Illinois Extension says

most earthworms found, particularly in North America, can only grow so long, even though some worms seem like they stretch forever underneath the ground. Depending on the type of worm and how many segments it has, as well as its age and ability to get nutritious foods, worms typically reach only a few inches in length, offers National Geographic. There are some anomalies, however. The Oregon giant earthworm is one of the largest earthworms found in North America, growing to more than three feet in length. That worm is very rare,
however. In 2016, a 16-inch-long earthworm was discovered in England and became part of the collection at the Natural History Museum in London. Some Australian and South American earthworms are known to grow much larger. Worms need the correct mix of oxygen, moisture and favorable temperatures to survive. If they do not have these components, they will seek them out elsewhere. Because of the many benefits earthworms provide, they can be a boon to landscapes.

Vintage Aircraft Continued from front page
we get to meet,” said Paul Carmichael, who helped organize and publicize the Bicentennial Vintage Fly-In. “Everyone’s having a great time,” Carmichael said. “The volunteers are doing a great job.” Any army of volunteers with sky blue T-shirts directed visitors and helped park airplanes. Vehicle parking, he said, “is a real group effort.” Extra volunteers were recruited to give everyone time to cool off in the shade or inside an airport hargar where there was a nice breeze. Siperek likened the fly-in as a car show with airplanes. People came with cameras and cellphones to take photos of the vintage aircraft and their pilots. Soon after each pilot landed, people gathered around the new air for a closer look and to chat with the pilot. The pilots seemed to hear about the
fly-in by word of mouth. Doug Majot of Wellsville flew in in a red and white Vans RV-4. “This is a real hotrod,” he said proudly. “I fly in here regularly to eat at Katy’s Fly-In Restaurant across the street,” he
smiled. Waving many of the planes in to a stop or getting them back out onto the runway was the job of Rick Ehman, carrying flashlights with red lenses. Ehman’s next role for the Great Valley Bicentennial is coordinating parade entries for the July 21 Old Home Days Parade. Entry forms are on the town’s historical website, or are
available from Ehman by7 calling 945-4371. Plans call for an oldfashioned Old Home Days Parade, Siperek said. It will include family groups, tractors, wagons, horses, marching bands and fire trucks. Gary Bobsein of Cattaraugus flew in from his family airstrip just over the hills from Great Valley in a 1941 Taylorcraft BL-C, which was designed by the same man who designed the Piper Cub. “This is great,” he said, looking around at other vintage planes. An original 1946 J-3 Cub was parked nearby. “They taught a whole generation of pilots how to fly from the 1930s to the 1950s,” Carmichael said of the Piper Cub and its open cockpit. His next project was sitting in a corner of the hangar, a 1941 Waco biplane that hasn’t flown since 1955.
