Dig In! It’s How Planting Season Does Your Garden Grow? By Jann Wiswall
Gardening is the talk of the town these days as just about everyone with a lot or a little land, a patio with a flowerpot, or a porch with a hanging basket has greeted the growing season with long-awaited joy. Getting those garden plots and pots off to a good start is the key to enjoying the fruits (and veggies and flowers) of your labor all season long. Gardening does, of course, require physical labor and your attention, for certain, but remember that, in just a few months, you’ll be sitting down to a feast of just-picked vegetables with a bouquet of fresh cut flowers as your centerpiece. As Sir Francis Bacon once said, “Gardening is the purest of human pleasures.” And, because every gardener should also cultivate his/her sense of humor throughout the growing season, remember these wise words from columnist Dave Barry: “Your first job is to prepare the soil. The best tool for this is your neighbor’s motorized garden tiller. If your neighbor does not own a garden tiller, suggest that he buy one.” Getting Started Barb Kozlowski, one of Ellicottville’s master gardeners, says the most important thing you can do, whether you’re just starting out or are a seasoned gardener, is research. The Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) office in Ellicottville is a great place to start, along with the Internet, the library and bookstores. Read everything you can about gardening and then make a plan. Kozlowski also recommends keeping a garden journal. Sketch out

State to Rebate ECS School Tax Increase Checks Expected This Fall By Jann Wiswall
Residents of the Ellicottville Central School (ECS) District voted on May 20 to approve a 1.3 percent increase to the 2014-15 school year budget. While we won’t know until July what the actual dollar increase to school tax bills will be (the county does the calculations
after all assessment data are in), we do know that any increase will be refunded to most district homeowners in the fall. This refund is a result of the property tax freeze credit passed by the New York State legislature for the 2014-15 budget year. Any homeowner
with a STAR or Enhanced STAR exemption — in other words, residents whose primary residences are in the district — will receive a refund check for the total amount of the increase. This rebate will not be coming to all school districts See School Tax Rebate page 9

NYSDOT Announces Replacement of Former Route 219 Bridge over Catt. Creek Project Scheduled for Construction in 2015 New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) Commissioner Joan McDonald announced the allocation of federal funding to replace the former Route 219 (South Cascade Drive and Miller Road) Bridge over Cattaraugus Creek in the towns of Concord, Erie County, and Ashford, Cattaraugus County. “The State Department of Transportation continues to work with our federal, state and local officials under the leadership of Governor Cuomo, to improve our transportation infrastructure to serve the needs of our communities,” said Commissioner McDonald. “Area residents and local businesses made it clear that they depend heavily on this bridge crossing as an important transportation link between Erie and Cattaraugus
counties, and a vital conduit for the local economy.” Due to structural concerns, the existing bridge, built in 1956, was temporarily closed to all traffic in 2012. Emergency structural repairs were accelerated by the department and the bridge was re-opened ahead of schedule. The bridge remains open and posted for a maximum weight limit of 15 tons. Senator Catharine Young said, “The long-term prospects for the bridge were in doubt, and we worked with Governor Cuomo to secure its future. It was a huge relief to small businesses and residents when it reopened after repairs, and now rebuilding the bridge is tremendously important to our economy and quality of life. This project will create construction jobs and continue commerce.” “For years the residents and businesses of Springville and northern Cattaraugus County have made their sentiments known that the old Route 219 Bridge is more than a viaduct
connecting two counties; it is an essential component of their local identity and economic future,” said Senator Patrick Gallivan. “Today’s news that federal funding has been secured to replace the existing structure with a modern span is a direct result of their years of patience and persistence. I thank my partners in state and federal government who have helped realize this day, but the true thanks belongs to the citizens who made it their mission to ensure their community’s voices were heard and its interests defended.” The safety of the traveling public is NYSDOT’s primary mission. NYSDOT monitors bridge safety through a thorough and rigorous inspection system. The South Cascade Drive and Miller Road Bridge over Cattaraugus Creek is inspected annually. The project to replace the South Cascade Drive and Miller Road Bridge is now in preliminary design and is scheduled to begin construction in 2015.

Rosé: A Misunderstood Wine Submitted by Bob Duke, E-Ville Spirits
Rosé wines are pink; however, they are not sweet, as some people think. California blush wines are also pink (e.g. White Zinfandel) and tend to be sweet. Wines from Old World producers like France, Italy and Spain are typically made from grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc,
Sangiovese, Merlot and Pinot Noir. These are all grapes used in making familiar red wines. In the process of making a rosé wine, the winemaker will remove the grape skins, from which the red color comes, when he or she is satisfied with the level of color attained in the juice. All of the rosé wines in stock at E-Ville Spirits are dry wines with a hint of fruit and can be
enjoyed chilled by the glass or with countless Mediterranean foods, seafood or even a pizza or burger. I am a red wine guy and my wife drinks white, but during the warmer months we both enjoy sharing a beautiful rose’ out under our gazebo. The next time you’re shopping for wine, give rosé a try …I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised!

The “Selfie” - the Answer to World Peace? A coup, or more accurately a coup d’etat, is a sudden and usually violent overthrow of a country’s existing government by forces within the state itself. Coups are rarely “bloodless.” The 1973 Chilean coup d’etat, in which General Augusto Pinochet overthrew President Salvador Allende and set up a 17-year dictatorship, was described as “political genocide where thousands of leftists disappeared.” At the outset of Argentina’s 1955 uprising to depose Juan Peron, the military bombed Buenos Aires’ main square, killing thousands of civilians. So the purpose behind a traditional, violent military coup is to first secure control of the country, and in doing so, show its citizens that you mean business. Protesters must know that they could be next. Last week, the Thailand military staged a military coup d’etat. They mounted a massive show of force with heavilyarmed troops in Jeeps and tanks swarming the capital of Bangkok, as loud speakers declared the establishment of martial law. They were loaded for bear, determined to bury democracy and prepared to kill their own people in order to bring down the government. They were not, however, prepared for the “selfie.” My morning paper carried five photographs taken on the streets of Bangkok, just as Thailand’s army was setting up barricades and positioning their gunmounted vehicles in front of key government and media buildings. The centerpiece photo shows two well dressed women in front of a Jeep, with three army officers wielding automatic weapons. The woman on the left is smiling. The woman on the right is holding her smartphone at arm’s length in front of her. They are taking a “selfie” of themselves using the military coup as a backdrop.
Instead of fleeing for their lives or racing home to warn their families of an impending civil war, these two women in summer dresses are posing in front of three soldiers who look terminally confused by their sudden celebrity status. The other photos show two teenage girls with their arms around a young and embarrassed marine, a woman examining her screen to see if a second “selfie” is necessary, yet three more women taking pictures of themselves with automatic weapons and a goofy looking guy who has borrowed a helmet and is sitting behind the wheel of soldier’s Jeep. The young man is smiling with both hands on the wheel like he’s just crossed the finish line first at the Soapbox Derby. Thitinan Pongsudhirak, an authority on Thai politics, is quoted in the article as saying: “It’s technically martial law but it doesn’t feel like it.” He’s right. The coup looked a lot like a “Take Your Family To Work Day” at Royal Thai Army Headquarters. As a bit of a history buff and someone who never ceases to be amazed by how history keeps repeating itself in the form of colossal blunders, I wanted to scream. “Hey! Those guys in uniform you’re cuddling up next to, they’re here to kill your freedom and imprison your brothers and put you under house arrest!” “No, don’t ask that marine to remove his sunglasses because you’re getting a reflection on your camera, tell him to drop his weapon in the name of democracy!” “Don’t put your arm around that soldier like you’re old friends. He’s the enemy. Get behind him, grab the chain that holds his dog tags and garrote him while you have the chance!” “Pretty soon your food will be rationed, your father will disappear and you’ll be travelling through manhole covers to attend
secret meetings.” On the other hand, this could be a good thing. I mean, if the shameless, self-importance of our younger generations can blunt the force of a military coup, it might also do away with war. Front line soldiers cannot be firing off weapons and tossing grenades while they’re waving for the camera and offering to take photos of tourists sitting in their military vehicles. Leaders once believed that the ungodly consequences of nuclear weapons might be the answer to world peace. Now it looks like it’s social media. Finally a real, practical purpose has evolved from all that inane nothingness of texting and twittering and exchanging billions of photos nobody cares about. Winston Churchill once began a speech against martial law by saying: “You see these dictators on their pedestals surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ...” Today he would have to add: “and the “selfies” of the oppressed and the smiling photos of their captives posted on Facebook and getting autographs from autocrats and sharing ice cream cones with girls in silk dresses.” Has it really come to this? So powerful is the fame game that it can bring a halt to the war game. Is the Kardashian factor so strong in today’s society that narcissism could really end fascism?! The meek might very well inherit the earth as long as they keep snapping “selfies” and smiling for the camera as democracy disappears into thin air.

100 Wearing Camo for Dale
On June7, Ellicottville School will again host the American Cancer Society Relay for Life. This is a family-friendly event with its sole purpose to raise funds for cancer research and have fun doing it. This year the ECS/ETA relay team will have a lap around the track to honor the memory of Dale Golley, a courageous man who fought hard but lost his battle to cancer this past winter. Dale was a lifelong citizen of Ellicottville and has a multitude of friends and family here. We are offering a challenge to Dale’s friends and family. Our goal is to have 100 people on the track 3 p.m., all wearing some sort of camouflage to honor Dale’s memory. Won’t you help us meet that challenge? Can you give a few minutes of your time to help us meet the 100 Challenge? It will be a time to share, remember and encourage each other. Hope to see you there — 100 strong in a sea of green!

Dig In! Continued from Front Page
your garden at the outset and what you plan to plant. Then take notes all season so you’ll remember next year what worked and what didn’t. Site Location According to the CCE, your garden plot should be located in an open spot away from the shade of trees where you get at least six hours of direct sun every day. The plot should have good drainage. If you see standing water after heavy rains, you’ll want to re-grade the plot by adding or removing soil and keeping it level. Building raised beds or planting in terraces that run across a slope can work well to ensure good drainage. Be sure to locate your plot close to a water source. Your garden needs at least an inch of water each week during the growing season, which is way too heavy to carry! Soil Preparation Kozlowski says that, for a brand new garden plot, your best bet is to contact the CCE office for information about testing your soil’s pH and nutrient levels. Western New York soil is rocky and clay-filled, which can be a challenge. “You have to make sure your soil is workable — it needs to be loose enough that the roots can get established,” Kozlowski says. Once armed with your soil diagnosis from the extension office, begin by loosening the soil to at least 6 or 8 inches deep. Then you can mix in any recommended additives such as compost, fertilizer or wellaged organic material into the soil. Once the soil has been leveled and raked smooth, you’re ready for planting. Start Small If you’re a beginner, Kozlowski suggests you start with a small plot. There is
nothing more discouraging than planting more than you can take care of. Next year, plant more of what you didn’t have enough of, and less of what was in surplus. Map out your garden plan to help you visualize what it will look like and make the best use of space. As a general rule, give each plant 1 square foot of garden space. Plant tall crops on the north side of the garden so they don’t shade shorter ones. Give squash and other vining plants a little more room; peppers need a little less. Group perennial crops together — those that come back every year such as rhubarb and asparagus — along one side of the garden so they will be out of the way. But give them a little more room every year — they spread in size as they mature. Hate broccoli? Don’t plant it! As the CCE says, “Think about what you and your family really like.… Vegetables will go to waste if what you grow doesn’t match what you eat.” Seeds or Seedlings Growing from seeds is the least expensive route to a bountiful garden, but if you want an earlier crop, a head start or just a sense of instant progress, you can invest a little more by purchasing vegetable plants. Most of the garden centers in the area have what you need. You might try Gardens in Thyme, the greenhouse at 5177 Baker Road in Little Valley that opened last summer, where a healthy and wide selection of vegetable and herb plants are ready for planting today. Make the Most of Your Space You can double or triple your yields by trying some vertical gardening techniques.
Mary Perkins, a CCE master gardener, wrote in a recent post on the CCE website that “vertical growing is simply getting [your vining crops] up off the ground and trained or tied to some kind of support. The supports used can be just about anything — cages, fencing, a teepee of poles, or strings tied to a building’s side. This method of growing is ideal for tomatoes, pole beans, peas, cucumbers, melons, winter squash and other vine type crops.” Growing veggies and herbs in containers is another option, especially if you don’t have yard space. Tomatoes, potatoes, bush beans, herbs and many other vegetables do well in pots as long as they have drainage holes and are large enough for the plants’ roots (keep that 1-square-foot rule in mind). You can also use containers to decorate your patio with edibles or place some containers directly in the garden to create a tiered effect — they save space and you can plant lower growing vegetables around them. Self-Watering Options If you’re only in Ellicottville on weekends, plan to travel this summer or just want to minimize maintenance, a new self-watering container available from Scott’s Landscaping in Olean could be a great option for anything you want to plant. EarthPlanters only need to be filled every three to four weeks. They’re made with recycled plastic and re-purposed carpeting right here in New York and come in many colors.

the winter. Simultaneously, asbestos will be removed with ventilation and air quality issues to be addressed in the elementary wing. Additional work on the 10 classrooms and hallway renovations will take place during the summer of 2015. There are a number of other

things we have listed as “alternates,” and whether or not they are done will be based on how favorable the bids come in. We are hoping to see equipment on the site by midJuly! Over the summer, we will keep you posted on any updates through the website.
ELLICOTTVILLE, N.Y. — Although the ski season in Ellicottville has wound down for another year, interest in properties in this four-season resort town just an hour south of Buffalo is definitely on the upswing according to Team Pritchard, the mother and daughter team of Cathy and Melanie Pritchard. “We’re currently experiencing a significant upswing both in sales and inquiries from people interested in Ellicottville property,” notes Cathy Pritchard. “This tends to be the case every spring due to the fact that a lot of people who were renting, are now thinking seriously about buying. In fact, we’re surprised by just how strong the demand has been.” Cathy and Melanie Pritchard are both licensed real estate brokers with ERA Team VP Real Estate in the heart of Ellicottville. The total sales volume for the first quarter of 2014 for the village and town of Ellicottville was $4,262,500 — an increase of more than 22 percent over the first quarter of 2013, while total sales for the ERA Team VP Real Estate Ellicottville office is up 27 percent across the board. The average sale price for Ellicottville is holding steady at $231,000 compared to $232,000 a year ago, while the highest sale price for the
first quarter was $425,000 compared to $775,000 a year ago. “The sales stats are just confirming what we already know, which is that more and more people want to own a home or chalet in Ellicottville, and I think people recognize the area offers excellent value for what you pay for compared to other four-season resort towns,” says Cathy Pritchard. “That isn’t to say there still aren’t million dollar properties still for sale here… but right now, the strongest demand is for coming from middle-class buyers interested in a weekend property.” Another distinct trend says Melanie Pritchard is “interest in village properties is definitely on the rise. In the past, it was all about owning close to the slopes and it’s true that a lot of people still want that. But what we’re seeing now is more and more people want to own in town and prefer to drive the five or ten minutes it takes to get to the slopes... so that once they’re finished skiing, Ellicottville’s shops and restaurants are literally at their doorstep.” She continues, “We think it has a lot to do with the way village life has evolved over the past few years. The addition of such amenities as a new cheese shop (EVL Cheese Company),
a specialty butcher (Dom’s Butcher Block), the Winery of Ellicottville, a $3 million expansion of Ellicottville Brewing Company, and upgrades and renovations to several other businesses have all added to the appeal of living in in the village.” Due to Ellicottville’s location, at the doorstep of the Allegany State Park and just an hour south of Buffalo, Melanie Pritchard says Ellicottville is continuing to attract buyers from multiple markets ranging from Western New York, to Northern PA and Ohio to Southern Ontario. She says, “We continue to see a lot of interest from Southern Ontario, in part because of the value of what you can buy here, and we keep hearing from Canadians that Ellicottville is a much easier drive to destination than Ontario cottage country.” Team Pritchard is one of the top selling real estate teams in Ellicottville with 46 years combined experience and averaging more than $10 million in year over year.

Girls on the Run Helps Girls Shine Like the Sun By Alicia Dziak
Self-esteem! Standing up for yourself! Standing up for others! Choosing your friends! Running!? These things all have something in common — they’re all part of the Girls on the Run (GOTR) program, created for girls in grades 3-6 that’s gaining popularity in Western New York! GOTR is a program that combines training for a 5K running event with healthy living education. The program is broken down into Girls on the Run (grades 3–5) and Girls on Track (grades 6–8). The mission of GOTR is to instill self-esteem through health education, life skills development, mentoring relationships, and physical training — all of which are accomplished through an active collaboration with girls and their parents, schools, volunteers, staff and the community. The Buffalo Council was started in 2010 by Katie Joyce and her “running buddy” Meghan Cavanaugh, who had heard about the success of Girls on the Run from friends and family living in other states around the country. The two thought it would be a great fit for the area’s schools, and while it started with only three schools in 2010, it’s grown to over 85 schools, running 100 programs all across Western New York. GOTR utilizes a set curriculum that addresses relevant topics like self-image, bullying and healthy eating, all while promoting teamwork and exercise. By the end of the season, girls who started out being intimidated by the idea of running a 5K are eager to participate, many strutting their stuff in matching team attire, decorated GOTR T-shirts, and colored hair spray.
The end-of-season 5K will be held on Sunday, June 8, at the north campus of the University of Buffalo. UB is transformed into a racecourse, along with a “school village” where teams and families meet to warm up together and cheer each other on. The 5K is open to the public and is the major fundraiser for GOTR. Money raised goes right back into the program. “In most sports, if you can’t afford the equipment to play, you can’t play,” said Joyce. “In Girls on the Run, our mission is to reach out to all girls and give them an opportunity to participate in an organized exercise program, regardless of their financial situation.” This means that many schools receive fully aided GOTR programs, and many other receive partial aid. Springville Elementary School’s Girls on the Run program was started in the fall of 2012 by Michelle Solly, physical education teacher at Springville Elementary School. “When I found out what this program was about, I knew it would be a perfect fit for our school,” said Solly. Springville’s GOTR, now in its fourth season, has been so popular that it expanded its program to include Girls on Track for the spring 2014 season. “My favorite thing about
Girls on the Run is meeting new friends,” said Blakelee Hoffman, 8, of Springville. “I love to run, and I liked that we worked on things like breathing patterns, that help us run better,” added Elizabeth Clark, 9, also of Springville. Does GOTR sound like something girls you know could benefit from? It’s not too late to start a new program for the fall 2014 season. Although GOTR is limited to 70 schools this fall, applications for new sites are being accepted from June 15–July 1, pending availability. Coaches can be teachers, parents or community members, and they don’t even need to be runners — just people with a willingness to work with the girls, and meet with them twice a week, on weekdays that work with their schedules. Coaching GOTR is a great way to make a difference in the lives of young girls facing many challenges in today’s world. GOTR girls can be seen cheering each other on and applying the positive lessons they learn in the program in their everyday activities. “It’s been so much fun seeing all the girls’ self-confidence increase and realizing that running can be fun!” Solly said.

Meet Buddy and Vicki. Our Pets of the Week
From the Bookshelf Recommended Reading from the Ellicottville Memorial Library
“The Son” by Jo Nesbo Sonny Lofthus is a strangely charismatic and complacent young man. Sonny’s So been in prison for a dozen years, nearly half his life. The inmates who seek out his uncanny abilities to soothe leave his cell feeling absolved. They don’t know or care c that Sonny has a serious heroin habit—or where or how he gets his uninterrupted unin supply of the drug. Or that he’s serving time for other peoples’ crimes. crim Sonny took the first steps toward addiction when his father took his own S life rather than face exposure as a corrupt cop. Now Sonny is the seemingly malleable center of a whole infrastructure of corruption: prison staff, police, ma lawyers, a desperate priest—all of them focused on keeping him high and in law jail. jai But when he learns a stunning, long-hidden secret concerning his father, he makes a brilliantly executed escape from prison—and from the person he’d let himself become—and begins hunting down those responsible for the crimes against him . . . The darkly looming question is: Who will get to him first—the criminals or the cops?
Can you believe this little fella hasn’t been scooped up yet? Buddy is great with other dogs and doesn’t mind cats either. He loves children and is young too!

Health & Fitness: Jump Roping
By Kim Duke neta & afaa Certified Trainer
As a personal trainer, it is my job to keep my clients not only motivated but also interested in working out. This means I need to constantly stay up on all trends and be ready to integrate these trends at a moment’s notice. The cardio warm up before a strength training session
is very important and should never be ignored. It does not have to be complicated; it just needs to get your muscles warm and your heart rate up. Recently, I started integrating the jump rope into my cardio warm ups. Simple, yet oh so efficient. Just 10 minutes of jumping rope can provide the same cardio benefits of 30 minutes of running, two sets of tennis or 45 minutes of racquetball. It also shores up the entire kinetic chain (your body’s interconnected system of muscles, joints, and tendons), starting with your feet and ankles, to build the functional strength needed for day-to-day tasks such as carrying heavy bags or children. Size Does Matter: By
standing on the center of the rope and pulling the handles up, you should be able to reach your shoulders. More advanced jumpers can choose a shorter rope where the handles extend only as high as the armpits. Jump Softly: After each jump, land softly on the balls of the feet. Avoid using ropes with weighted handles as this can put stress on your wrists with little to no benefit. Feel the Burn: If you have not jumped rope in many years, start out slow. Jump for 30-second intervals and work your way up to one minute. When you can sustain a steady rate of jumping for three minutes, you are well on your way to a new level of cardio and core strength.
Night Lights Extended Continued from Front Page
Nannen Arboretum has been well received by attendees since its opening on May 16. Growing attendance and social media buzz have led organizers to keep open NIGHT LIGHTS an additional week to accommodate the rising interest. The goal of a NIGHT LIGHTS show is to create a soothing environment for guests as they examine the natural world bathed in lighting. Guests walk the arboretum’s paved pathways where the trees are illuminated with colorful and programmed lighting. Entertainment is featured each evening of NIGHT LIGHTS. NIGHT LIGHTS has been a nice addition to the Ellicottville’s year-round offering of activities and events. With the show concluding on Saturday, June 7, it will complement the Bicycle Weekend happening that weekend in town.
Doors will open at 7:30 p.m., however, due to darkness, the lights will not be visible until 8:30 p.m. Admission is $8 for adults and teens, and kids age 12 and under are free with an accompanying adult. Tickets can be purchased at the front gate of the arboretum. The Nannen Arboretum is located at the Cornell Cooperative Extension building at 28 Parkside Dr., Ellicottville, NY 14731. “NIGHT LIGHTS at Ellicottville’s Nannen Arboretum” is created by SitlerHQ, the same group behind the popular NIGHT LIGHTS at the Gardens (Buffalo & Erie County Botanical Gardens), NIGHT LIGHTS at Griffis Sculpture Park (East Otto, NY) and NIGHT LIGHTS at The Heron (Sherman, NY). “NIGHT LIGHTS at Ellicottville’s Nannen Arboretum” will complement
the numerous other springtime activities occurring in the charming four-season resort town. The WNY village is popular in the warm months for golf, mountain biking, the Holiday Valley Sky High Adventure Park, shopping, dining and more. For additional details about attractions and events in Ellicottville, visit www.ellicottvilleny.com and click on Events, or contact the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce at 1-800-349-9099. The Town of Ellicottville’s Nannen Arboretum is managed by the Nannen Arboretum Society, a non-profit, volunteer based organization dedicated to providing home garden and natural resource education and an opportunity for nature appreciation and leisure. The eight-acre park contains paved pathways, over 200 species of trees, a Japanese garden, pond, a chapel, gazebos and an entertainment stage.
School Tax Rebate Continued from Front Page
across the state. Only those districts that stayed within the 2 percent tax cap are eligible. Ellicottville stayed within the tax cap. According to the State Division of Budget, the following eligibility criteria must be met: • Residential property owners that are eligible for a STAR exemption on their primary residence are eligible for the rebate. • The school district must comply with the property tax levy limit including exclusions (maximum allowable levy) in
2014-15. • Eligible property owners will receive the credit via rebate checks issued by the NYS Tax and Finance Department in autumn of 2014. • Rebates reimburse homeowners for the dollar increases in their school tax bills. • In 2014, for homeowners in a tax freeze compliant district, the rebate credit will be equal to the 2014-15 increase in school taxes OR 1.46 percent times the 2013-14 school tax bill, whichever is greater. An example provided by the
state explains it this way: Suppose your 2013-14 tax bill was $2,500 and your 201415 bill is $2,550. That’s an increase of $50. 1.46 percent multiplied by the 2013-14 tax bill comes to $36.50. So, the homeowner will be rebated for the greater amount, or $50. Remember, you will be billed for and will have to pay the full amount on your tax bill by its due date. But come mid-fall, STAR-eligible homeowners will get a refund check in the mail.

Leno Sells Out at Lucille Ball Comedy Festival JAMESTOWN, NY – The Jay Leno performance, with featured musical guest Lucie Arnaz, set for Aug. 9 during the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival has sold out. With tickets selling out in three weeks, it’s now the fastest headline show to sell out in Lucille Ball Comedy Festival history. The performance, taking place at the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena, will also feature a pre-show and post-show party outside the arena featuring live bands, beer, wine, classic cars and more. Although tickets to the Jay Leno show on Aug. 9 are sold out, tickets are still available for over 50 other events taking place during the festival Aug. 6–10, including performances by comedians Tom Cotter, who recently became the first comedian to reach the finals of NBC’s America’s Got Talent, and a StandUp Showcase featuring Caroline Rhea at the Reg Lenna Center
for the Arts. To purchase festival tickets, contact the Lucy Desi Museum box office at (716) 484-0800 or visit online at www. lucycomedyfest.com. Jay Leno, just stepping down this year from two decades of ratings domination as host of The Tonight Show, will be performing in front of a sold-out audience in Jamestown on August 9th. Leno is an acclaimed TV late night show host, admired standup comedian, best-selling children’s book author, pioneering car builder and mechanic and philanthropist. Lucie Arnaz will return to the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival as the featured musical guest during Jay Leno’s performance on August 9th. Arnaz has had an extremely diversified career spanning over 45 years in show business, and has achieved success wearing the hats of producer, singer, actor and director. In 2012, Arnaz performed at the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival as a musical guest during the Comics to Watch showcase featuring Baron Vaughn, Tony Deyo and Tammy Pescatelli. Tom Cotter, who will be performing at the Reg Lenna Center for the Arts on Aug. 8, recently became the first comedian to ever reach the finals of NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” and his runner-up finish on the show has catapulted him to the comedic stratosphere. Before “America’s Got Talent,” Cotter won the Seattle International Comedy Competition, the grand prize at the Boston Comedy Festival and was voted Best Stand-Up at the Las Vegas Comedy Festival. On the evening of Aug. 7, the Lucy Desi Museum & Center for Comedy will bring the popular Stand-Up Showcase back to the Reg Lenna Center for the Arts, featuring some of the hottest rising comedians in the industry. Comedian Caroline Rhea, who starred in “Sabrina, the Teenage Witch” and former host of “The Biggest Loser,” will host and perform during the showcase. Past festivals have featured then-rising comedians such as Ellen DeGeneres, Ray Romano and Lewis Black, and this showcase aims to catch comics on a similar rise to the top. The Lucille Ball Comedy Festival is the first pillar in a four-
pillar Legacy of Laughter vision for the Lucy Desi Museum & Center for Comedy, including a comedic arts education program, a comedy film festival and the establishment of the first National Comedy Center. Lucille Ball’s hometown of Jamestown, N.Y., honors the legacy of “The First Couple of Comedy” with the Lucy Desi Museum & Center for Comedy. The museum attraction is open seven days a week, and features replica sets, Lucille Ball’s Emmy awards, costumes, rare memorabilia and much more. Tripling in size in 2006, the mission of the museum and center for comedy is to preserve the legacy of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz and enrich the world through the healing powers of love and laughter through its commitment to the development of the comedic arts. For additional information on the Lucy Desi Museum & Center for Comedy, as well as its online gift shop, visit www.lucy-desi.com.
