Area Shops Offer Unique Experiences

Calendar of Events
Western New York is known for its variety of antique shops, and there are plenty in the Ellicottville area to keep shoppers busy for the next several weekends. Although each shop offers a variety of antiques and collectibles, there is something unique about each shop that sets it apart from the rest. For an experience that is part nostalgia, part novelty and part delicious, shoppers must visit Tom and Laura McLeod’s Ellicottville Country Store & Antiques. Located just three miles east of the village at 5364 Route 242, Ellicottville Country Store & Antiques is housed in a building that is every bit as unique as the treasures within. This 150-year-old structure was originally built as a dry goods store and later served as the Ashford Junction Post Office until 1935. Indeed, the structure of the building is part of its charm: upon entering the store, visitors can look straight up and see the second story. This gallerylike mercantile features gift items on the first floor, while the second floor holds a dozen antiques booths from a variety of vendors. The first floor boasts a

Mansfield Preparing NYS Sends More Aid for Efficiency Plan for State EVL Highways Better Police Presence in the Works By Jann Wiswall
The Town of Ellicottville has received $118,545 in Consolidated Local Street and Highway Improvement Program (CHIPS) funds this year, which represents an $18,000+ increase over what the board estimated the contribution would be for 2015. The boost is primarily the result of the state’s Winter
Recovery Fund contributions to areas impacted by the harsh 2015 winter. This good news was reported by Town Supervisor John Burrell during the Tuesday, April 21 meeting of the town board. Burrell also reported that he and Village of Ellicottville Mayor Charles Coolidge had See Town Board page 4
Say it Ain’t So!
Recent Closings Surprise Fans
Three Ellicottville businesses have recently closed their doors to the surprise of their loyal customers. The biggest shock, perhaps, was learning that Coffee Culture closed at the end of business on Tuesday, April 21. Information about the reason(s) for the closure
was unconfirmed as of press time, but it is safe to say that employees were as surprised as anyone. As of Wednesday morning, the restaurant was shut tight and the iconic outdoor fire pit was cold. Clothing shop Apres at 23 Washington Street also recently closed. While the sign on the building says it’s for lease, it is actually for sale, according to broker Derek Ritter with Caliber Commercial Brokerage. The beautiful 5,280 square foot building features the first floor retail space as well as an unfinished second floor that Ritter describes as “perfect for a couple of apartments.” It is listed at $799,999. As of press time, the
Ellicottville Times was unable to reach the building owners for further information. Meanwhile, the Red Door Ski Shop’s owner Steve Miller said the location is not just closed for the season, but has permanently closed its doors. Miller said there were several reasons for the closing, but was quick to thank the Ellicottville staff for their years of hard work. The Red Door originally opened at 11 Washington Street in 1985. The Williamsville store will remain open, and Miller encourages all customers with store credits or gift certificates to visit that location at 4169 Transit Road or call (716) 634-5545.
By Jann Wiswall
The Mansfield board of directors is developing a plan for the state that demonstrates how it could save 1% of the town’s $520,000 operating budget – or $5,200 – in each of the years 2017-2019. Municipalities all over New York are being asked by the state to devise these “government efficiency plans.” If they don’t submit plans by June 1, qualifying homeowners will not receive their municipality’s share of property
tax reimbursements. Qualified homeowners are those who meet the state’s STAR exemption requirements. Last year, homeowners living in jurisdictions that stayed within the 2% tax cap received corresponding percentage refunds. This year, municipalities must stay within that tax cap and also show how they will save costs by consolidating services with other jurisdictions in order for homeowners to receive reimbursement. See Mansfield Board page 7

Volunteer at Nannen Arboretum May 4 by Nan Miller
Make plans to help polish the Jewel in the Crown of Ellicottville. On Monday May 4 from 9:30 a.m. until noon, volunteers will be removing leaves, twigs, and other debris left by Old Man Winter at the Nannen Arboretum. Trees are budding, perennials are poking through, and Mother Nature needs a little extra help with her spring cleaning. Tools will be available, but if you have a favorite rake or tarp, bring it along. Gloves are suggested. Water and coffee cake will be served. The Nannen Arboretum Committee looks forward to seeing our many old friends and meeting new volunteers that share a love for nature and the arboretum, our famed Jewel of Ellicottville. The arboretum entrance is adjacent to the new Town Center at 28 Parkside Drive, Ellicottville. Volunteers are invited to come to any Monday workday at the arboretum throughout the spring, summer and fall. Someone will always be there to direct you.

EVL Fire Dept. Open House April 25 The Ellicottville Volunteer Fire Department is hosting an open house at the Fire Hall (30 Fillmore Drive) on Saturday, April 25, from 1-4 p.m. This is an opportunity for everyone – men, women and children – to learn more about volunteering as a firefighter, ambulance driver or emergency medical technician (EMT), pick up some fire prevention and safety tips, enjoy free refreshments, take a ride on a fire truck and get to know the dedicated individuals who
already serve their community. It’s also an opportunity to make one of the most valuable contributions you can make to your community – become a volunteer. There is a shortage of volunteers on fire departments all across the country. In Ellicottville, as our community becomes a four-season destination, the shortage is becoming urgent. And you don’t have to fight actual fires or work toward Emergency Medical
Technician certification in order to help. Volunteers take on all sorts of roles you may not have even thought about – from directing traffic, handling hoses and distributing drinking water to driving trucks or ambulances and helping to move patients. If you can donate some time, or have a budding firefighter or EMT at home who wants to learn more, be sure to attend this open house and talk with Ellicottville’s dedicated volunteers.

IDA OKs HV Tax Exemption Hinsdale Objects to National Fuel PILOT By Jann Wiswall Holiday Valley’s parent company, Win-Sum Ski Corp., got approval from the Cattaraugus County Industrial Development Agency (CCIDA) board on Tuesday, April 21 for its request for a sales tax exemption on the purchase of some $2.5 million in supplies, materials and equipment for 2015-16 improvements at the resort. Holiday Valley’s purchases include 40 new automated snow guns, four snowmobiles, a bus, a SnowCat, equipment for Sky High Adventure Park and golf carts, as well as construction materials, improvements to the resort’s IT systems, ongoing renovation of the Inn and golf course improvements. The value of the sales tax savings is estimated to be more than $200,000. The CCIDA’s administrative fee for this project will be 1.16 percent of the total $2.5 million project value, plus expenses. Under a 2014 agreement with the IDA, the resort is receiving sales tax relief for materials and equipment needed for the realignment of Holiday Valley Rd. Construction on that project has begun.
The IDA board also approved a request for tax relief from Mazza Mechanical Services in Olean, which will construct a 6,600-square-foot addition and renovate existing facilities to help grow its business. The company requested sales tax abatement, a “manufacturingnew construction” PILOT and NYS mortgage recording tax exemption, which will save about $40,000 on its planned $550,000 investment. In other business, IDA Executive Director Corey Wiktor reported that the National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation’s Northern Access 2015 project has hit a bump in the road to IDA tax breaks. Community leaders and the general public in Hinsdale attended a public hearing on the project and specifically objected to the company’s request for a 15-year Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) agreement to reduce its real property tax burden by some $1.75 million. Wiktor said that school and municipal leaders argued that a PILOT “of this magnitude would result in significant property tax increases in later years and would affect their
ability to stay within the state’s 2% tax cap” mandate. Wiktor said: “Hinsdale’s concerns are valid” given that the “state legislature has not addressed the 2% cap vs. PILOT issue.” If the community remains opposed he said, the IDA “would be unlikely to offer the PILOT.” A special board meeting will be required in May to address the IDA’s role in this project. Wiktor also reported that he has spoken with National Grid about a proposal to construct a multi-million dollar power substation on 18 acres in the town of Humphrey. The project is in preliminary stages and detailed cost estimates have not yet been calculated. Wiktor said the project would provide more power to Olean and surrounding areas which he said is a “powerpoor” region. The project would net significant new real estate taxes for Humphrey. He will keep the board informed as this project progresses. The next scheduled meeting of the CCIDA will be held on Tuesday, June 9 at 11:15 a.m. at the CCIDA offices in Ellicottville.
Town Board Continued from front page
been approached by the local state police which would like to station two more officers in Ellicottville, rather than in Machias. Two officers are already stationed in Ellicottville. Because the Ellicottville area is more populated and has significant through-traffic, the state police see more activity in the area, so being stationed in the town is more efficient for them. Burrell said he likes the idea since having more police visibility in the area will benefit residents and businesses. The board was in support of the idea, though Burrell said there are still some details such as finding garage space for their vehicles that need to be worked out. Burrell reported that the town of Ellicottville is among the many municipalities working on providing the state with efficiency plans to demonstrate how they will save 1% of their operating costs by sharing services with other jurisdictions. The plans are tied to qualified homeowner property tax reimbursements (see Mansfield Board story, cover, for more background). Burrell said that most local municipalities have been sharing services for years, though they have been doing so on an informal basis. Burrell said he will work to formalize
and quantify these arrangements with other jurisdictions in accordance with the state’s criteria. The efficiency plans must be implemented in each of three years beginning in 2017. Department Reports Police Department: Police Officer in Charge Don Auge reported that there are two open positions in his department for part-time officers and said he has found one applicant “who would be a good fit for Ellicottville.” He asked the board for authority to offer the applicant the position. The board agreed. Auge also said the department had been loaned a body camera, which has been tested unofficially by most of his officers and reviews have been favorable. No cameras will be purchased, however, until the department and board approve a policy for their use. He hopes a policy will be ready for board review at its May 20 meeting. Highway Department: The board approved the purchase of a Peterbilt truck, cab and chassis from Hunter Truck in Buffalo following bid review and the recommendation of Superintendent Loyd Hovey. Hovey and Town Engineer Mark Alianello will soon be requesting bids from surveyors to prepare for construction of plow turnarounds at four locations.
Engineering Department: Alianello asked the board to approve two change orders to the East Tank project. One is to replace a vault lid; the other is to develop plans to replace a water supply line to the village reservoir. Those plans must be submitted to the state Health Department. The board approved the change orders. Alianello informed the board that he has asked FEMA to reconsider two elevation certificates for neighboring homeowners whose base flood elevations (BFEs) were determined by FEMA using different interpretations of new flood plain maps. Alianello stated that the many years of work on the part of Ellicottville and FEMA to redo the flood plain maps were intended to eliminate ambiguity in establishing BFEs, but that in FEMA’s very first reviews, ambiguities are still apparent. He hopes to have the issue resolved soon. He also reported that the street light at Elk Street and Maples Road has been moved and now meets with a nearby homeowner’s approval. The next regular meeting of the Town of Ellicottville board will be held on Wednesday, May 20 at 6 p.m. in the town/ village hall.

Here’s how the world is supposed to work: Last fall, I got a “pay up or else!” call from a collection agency in Hamilton concerning a $100 debt owed to a pest control company in St. Catharines. There were missed messages and a mix-up, in which I thought I was owed an extra application. Tired of walking face first into cobwebs first thing in the morning, I needed to get rid of spiders the size of the ones Indiana Jones had to use a machete on in The Temple of Doom. The previous outfit that did the spraying became expensive and they stopped guaranteeing their work. So I contacted Truly Nolen out of St. Catharines and they handled our problem better and cheaper than the previous company, with no charge for second or third visits if these tarantula-like creatures return. Steve in collections had the kind of low, dead voice that could scare the chocolate coating off an M&M. Remember the DJ Wolfman Jack, he of the gravelly voice they claimed could only come from gargling razor blades? Well, “Collections Steve” makes Wolfman Jack sound like a choir boy going through a voice change. So I call Steve at the number he left, and I must admit I did not take the situation of a hundred dollars too seriously, and pretty soon I have Steve laughing on the phone, especially when I worked out the amount owed to a buck per spider and offered to pay the debt off in insects. And not only do I convince Steve to repeat the “pay up or else warning,” I get him to promise to add that great Mr. T tagline so that just before he hangs up on a delinquent customer, he says: “I pity the fool! I say, I pity the fool who does not pay up!”
Varsity Baseball On Wednesday, April 15, Robert Sawicki went the distance and struck out six batters, walked one and only gave up four hits, but Ellicottville still fell to Randolph 3-2 in seven innings on at Randolph Central School. Austin Mitchell won the pitcher’s duel for Randolph on the way to the win. He allowed two runs over seven innings. Mitchell struck out nine, walked three and gave up three hits. After pushing across one run in the top of the fifth, Ellicottville faced a 3-2 deficit but could not complete the comeback. Robert Sawicki, Griffin Chudy and Caleb Rinko each had one hit for Ellicottville. On Saturday, April 18, Ellicottville played a doubleheader against CattaraugusLittle Valley/Salamanca and fell short in both games.
Game one left ECS behind with a 5-4 score. Kyle O’Donnell got the win for Cattaraugus-Little Valley/ Salamanca. He struck out four, walked four and surrendered five hits. Tyler Slaughenhaupt was on the mound for Ellicottville and walked four, struck out three and allowed seven hits. The Eagles offense was led by Hunter Ostricker’s two for three outing and Phalla Musall’s RBI double. Robert Sawicki and Jonas Hurlburt also added RBI singles for Ellicottville. Ellicottville racked up four hits, but it wasn’t enough, as the Eagles lost 12-3 in game 2 of the double header. Griffin Chudy had an impressive relief outing against the Catt-LV/Salamanca lineup with one earned run, two walks and three strike-outs during his 3 1/3 innings of work. Ellicottville’s offense was also sparked by Phalla Musall who added his second double of the
day and Josh Garthwaite’s first single of the season. Matt Hanft got the win for Cattaraugus-Little Valley/ Salamanca. He allowed one run over one inning. He walked one and surrendered one hit. Varsity Softball On Wednesday, April 15, the Eagles Varsity Softball team was defeated by Randolph 1412. ECS had 14 hits, but came up short.

Tom, who appreciates a good deal as much as he enjoys watching a squirrel eating through your eavestroughs or termites reducing your kitchen cupboards to sawdust, said “yes.” And that, to me, is the way the world should work. What could have turned into an ugly situation involving harsh words or even legal repercussions and even more dire warnings from — this guy could cause terrorists to go deaf over the phone — Steve. Now I can’t resist. I telephone Steve back and tell him the whole story of how a pesky payment problem has ended happily with a business alliance between William Thomas Writing Services and Truly Nolen Pest Control... “And the best is, Steve, you could wind up working for me!” “Really? How so?” “Because Steve, if I have any problems with Truly Nolen, I’m sending you in to scare the crap out of Tom Davies!” I know Steve is now laughing pretty hard at this point because I can feel my chair and desk shaking here in my office. I had to beg him and he said he’d only say it once but yeah, I got him to say: “I pity the fool who does not pay William Thomas!” I don’t think I’ll ever forget those words mainly because the ringing in my ears will never stop. This column’s brought to you by Truly Nolen and my confidence in a world that works has almost been restored. For comments, ideas and copies of The True Story of Wainfleet, go to www.williamthomas.ca

Good fences make good neighbors, and so do easement agreements!
Eagles Sports Roundup By Todd Palmatier
I swear if I had teenagers, I’d have Steve call them and warn them about the dangers of smoking, drugs and sex. Two calls from Steve and I’d be living with a couple of Mormons. So Steve suggested I call Tom Davies, the boss at Truly Nolen, to straighten the matter out. I do, and Tom, as Steve assured me, is a very reasonable, very personable guy. I explain how the rain washed out the last spraying and suggest that he either have the guys come out and complete the job properly or just nullify the $100 invoice. Tom took my information, called me back within minutes and said he’s going to do both - have the final spraying done in a day or so and rip up my bill! Noticing that I was the one who lined up other jobs in the neighbourhood, he did not want to lose my business on this inconvenient mistake. Wow! At this point Tom has just earned himself a customer for life and I’m trying to figure out a way to get him to run for prime minister. Courtesy, common sense and decisive action - all things that are quasi-illegal in Ottawa today. Great, thank you, see you. I phone Steve back to thank him and beg him to say “I pity the fool!” for me one last time. (Every time the man talks, dead people in Mount Pleasant cemetery start mumbling about noise control!) And here’s where it gets interesting ... sitting at my desk next to the Truly Nolen invoice is a proposal for a series of newspapers who want to run my weekly column, but need a sponsor in order to do so. So I call Tom Davies back and tell him about this great opportunity to sponsor my column, associate his pest control business with a humour article that quite often gets read, talked about and even clipped and sent around to friends and family.

Driveway easements are the most common form of easement, and they are more common in the Village of Ellicottville than some neighbors might prefer. Although they can present problems, most easement driveways can serve a very efficient purpose with an appropriate agreement in place.
Often, an easement driveway is located entirely on one person’s property, and that person allows an adjoining landowner to use it to access their properties. Sometimes this means that a landowner uses an easement driveway to access landlocked property; other driveways run along the boundary of two properties from a public road. In the Village of Ellicottville, many easement driveways run over the middle of the boundary between two properties in some way shape or form. Neighbors may create them intentionally if there isn’t enough room between houses for each property to have its own driveway or to share the costs of maintenance. In fact, Village Zoning Law encourages easement driveways because they help get cars off the streets and behind houses. It isn’t unusual either that a driveway is unintentionally located over two properties where it was meant to be entirely on one. Village lots were laid out approximately 200 years ago. Since then, surveying technology has improved, measurements have become more accurate, properties have been
subdivided and minor mistakes may have been made in deeds. As a result, discrepancies exist between actual boundary lines, and they are not easily remedied. Neighbors often have a handshake agreement regarding maintenance and intended use of these driveways, and, although this may work initially, it often presents problems for future owners. For instance, residential owners might want to protect against future commercial use if one party sold his/ her lot to someone intending to use it for commercial purposes. Similarly, any future owners should know what’s expected of them in terms of snowplowing, paving and any other maintenance obligations. For these reasons, written agreements prevent unwanted use of the easement. If these agreements are recorded in, or with, a deed in the County Clerk’s Office, the agreement will be reflected in the title search associated with the property. This puts potential buyers on notice of the easement and its terms, which helps reduce confusion and tension in the future.

From the Bookshelf Recommended Reading from the Ellicottville Memorial Library
‘Dead Wake’ By Erik Larson On May 1, 1915, with WWI entering its tenth month, a luxury ocean liner as richly appointed as an English country house sailed out of New York, bound for Liverpool, carrying a record number of children and infants. The passengers of the Lusitania were surprisingly at ease, even though Germany had declared the seas around Britain to be a war zone. As U-20 and the Lusitania made their way toward Liverpool, an array of forces both grand and achingly small—hubris, a chance fog, a closely guarded secret, and more—all converged to produce one of the great disasters of history. It is a story that many of us think we know but don’t, and Erik Larson tells it thrillingly, switching between hunter and hunted while painting a larger portrait of America at the height of the Progressive Era. Full of glamour and suspense, Dead Wake brings to life a cast of evocative characters, from famed Boston bookseller Charles Lauriat to pioneering female architect Theodate Pope to President Woodrow Wilson, a man lost to grief, dreading the widening war but also captivated by the prospect of new love. Gripping and important, Dead Wake captures the sheer drama and emotional power of a disaster whose intimate details and true meaning have long been obscured by history.

Mansfield Board Continued from front page
As Supervisor Bob Keis explained to the board at its Monday, April 20 meeting, the state must approve each jurisdiction’s plan; approved plans will not have to be implemented precisely as described as long as the savings are realized. Keis said he has been researching options and is confident that the town’s recent agreement with the Village and Town of Ellicottville to provide sewer and water services at WestMont Ridge will qualify under the state’s criteria as an inter-municipal agreement. Under that shared service agreement, WestMont’s singlefamily home and condominium owners will be serviced (and billed) by the Ellicottville municipalities. If not for that agreement, Mansfield would have to construct those systems – which would be well beyond its financial capability. Keis said he is still researching the issue and will provide a draft document to the board at its May meeting. Under the same state efficiency plan, fire districts also may submit costsaving plans to ensure that homeowners receive credit for a portion of their fire district tax. Keis notified the board that Ellicottville’s Fire Chief Kevin Morton recently proposed that it “annex� certain parts of Mansfield that borders Ellicottville for fire coverage.
Morton provided a map showing proposed coverage areas – which would include WestMont Ridge as well as properties along other parts of Rt. 242, Hencoop Rd. and Maples Rd. Morton stated that Ellicottville is closest to these areas so would arrive on scene well before the Mansfield Fire Department could get there. Keis agreed with the second point – also noting that Ellicottville’s department is far larger and better equipped than Mansfield’s – however he did not agree with the proposed map, which was drawn along roadways rather than property lines. He also did not agree with the concept of annexation. Instead, he suggests that the agreement should be contractual. Board members asked if this arrangement would result in fewer tax dollars for Mansfield’s fire department. Keis said “Yes, fire district taxes for affected homeowners would go to Ellicottville.� However, he said that this is a public safety and protection issue; if people will be better
served by a fire department that can provide better response time, then everyone benefits. Keis said he will discuss the proposal further with Morton and the board and hopes to have the issue settled by the end of the year. Highway Dept. Report The Mansfield Highway Department will be advertising bid requests for tiling the office, restrooms and break room floors of its building on Maples Rd. Specifications will appear soon in the town’s official newspaper, The Ellicottville Times. Department Superintendent Brad Hurley reported that he had received four bids for used rollers. The board accepted the low bid of $45,500 from George Swede Sales & Service. Hurley also is in search of a used 10-wheeler not to exceed $34,500. Hurley and Keis reported that this year’s CHIPS (Consolidated Local Street and Highway Improvement Program) contribution from the state was $23,000 more than the town had budgeted due to the especially harsh winter and its impact on road conditions. This brings the total to $152,000 for 2015. The next meeting of the Mansfield board will be held on Monday, May 18 at 7 p.m. in the town hall. All are welcome.
By Kim Duke NETA & AFAA Certified Trainer
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, 18 percent of American children age 6-11 and 21 percent of teens age 12-19 are overweight enough to be considered obese. Sadly, childhood obesity tends to mature into adult obesity. About a third of the adults that are obese got that way in their childhood. That’s one of the numerous reasons it is crucial to keep kids from becoming overweight and to help obese kids lose weight. Childhood obesity and an inactive lifestyle go hand in hand. More than half of obese children are inactive. Generally, kids who are physically inactive at home are inactive elsewhere. They tend to take the least active role in organized activities. Many times, obese children want to participate in an activity but feel embarrassed and awkward. Poor nutrition is another major contributor in childhood
obesity. Soda, chips, cookies and fast foods seem to be the snacks/meals of choice for many kids and their families. In my opinion, these foods should come with a warning label on them like cigarettes have. I cringe when I see children sucking down soda and sugary drinks or eating processed foods with a shelflife of a hundred years or more. Attitude also plays a role in childhood obesity. Attitude means feeling good and living with respect integrity and tolerance. When parents have positive attitudes, kids feel supported. Change is hard, and eating nutritiously can seem challenging. In reality, it is not. It may take a little more prep time and a few more trips to the grocery store for fresh fruits and veggies, but in the long run, it is always worth it! So, my advice is to take the three attributes of childhood obesity and draw a triangle. Place the words activity, nutrition and attitude at each point. Now make another triangle. Let’s call this one the success triangle. This triangle has the words dedication, vision and faith at the three connecting points. This triangle is meant to challenge the first triangle, to give a mirror image of what can be and what you can do by living every day with a big heart, unlimited passion and an unwavering faith in yourself and each other. Let’s start with activity and its triangle counterpart: dedication. As a family, set up opportunities to add physical activity to your weekly routine. It could be as easy as getting
outdoors to hike, ski, play or walk the dog. As a parent of two boys, I do not always want to always have to ‘play’ with them, but I will certainly encourage them to throw on play clothes and get outside. They may come in filthy, but they have been running, throwing and lifting. To tackle nutrition, think vision. As adults, we know how our bodies feel when we eat good things vs. when we eat junk. You certainly do not feel peppy and energized after chowing down on chicken wings and soda. Let’s be realistic too, convincing your obese child that a slice of watermelon is better for them than ice cream may be a hard sell. So, set realistic expectations for food. Start with small changes, like only offering milk or water at meals, then gradually make bigger changes, like cutting out certain processed foods altogether. Believe me, if done correctly, small changes will make a big difference, and if you are making these changes as a family, the outcome is even greater that you will achieve your desired results. Now let’s hit attitude and think faith. Believe in yourself and never give up your dreams and ideals. Positive thinking has powerful effects, but so does negative thinking. As I said before, change is not easy, but it is imperative if you or your child is obese. It could mean life or death. So use the success triangle as your model and start making a plan. You will never grow tired of how good healthy can feel.
Allegany State Park Continued from front page
Covered bridge
you like short and sweet (Bridal Falls, Red House side) or hilly and challenging (Bear Caves, Quaker side), there’s varying terrain and trail lengths to satisfy everyone. In the mood for a familyfriendly bike ride? Navigate the paved loop that surrounds Red House Lake. Head over the covered bridge and up through the woods to check out the new Bova cottages by Camp Allegany, or ride over another wooden bridge and check out the creek below the dam. If your ideal exercise is more competitive in nature, check out the Allegany Adventure Run on May 2. The race challenges runners to compete in a 6K, a 13K or a 22K trail run, traversing the Art Roscoe trails on the Red House side of the park. For more information, visit www.heartrateup.com. Also on May 2 is the fourth annual I Love My Park Day, a statewide effort to give back to state parks. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., volunteers gather and work on projects throughout the park. Various volunteer projects will be available to choose from, including digging out and mulching administration building flower beds, Group Camp 12 interior cabin painting, cabin trail clean up, and beautification of the trails by picking up litter. All ages are welcome. Meet at the Red House Administration Building, and bring gardening gloves, water and a snack. Registration is required by visiting www.ptny.org/ ilovemypark. Want to give back but can’t get to the park that day? Consider meeting up with
Friends of Allegany State Park, a group of volunteers that meets once a month throughout the spring and summer to work on various projects. For more information, visit www. friendsofallegany.com or like them on Facebook. For those who can’t get enough nature education, you’re in luck! The 57th annual Allegany Nature Pilgrimage will be held on May 29-31 at Camp Allegany on the Red House side of the park. The weekend, a combined effort between ASP and Jamestown Audubon Society, Buffalo Audubon Society, Presque Isle Audubon Society and Burroughs Audubon Nature Club, is chock full of nature-based activities. Guests can pick and choose from numerous field trips, guided walks and classes, covering a wide range of topics such as the geology of ASP, birding, animal signs, building fairy houses and much more. Registration is required. More information can be found at www. alleganynaturepilgrimage.com. Know a girl in grades 6-12 that would enjoy hands-on
nature activities at the park? Sign them up for Outdoor Girls’ Day on June 6. The day will include banding songbirds, learning how to draw them and looking for creek creatures and things that can be eaten in the woods. Programs will be presented by women in the natural sciences fields. The program is free, but registration is required by May 29. Call (716) 354-9101 ext. 236 or email adele.wellman@ parks.ny.gov. Of course, you don’t need an excuse to visit ASP. If you’re just looking to relax by a campfire, kick back by the lake and take in the natural surroundings or spend unplugged quality time with family, there’s no better place to go! With hundreds of campsites, cabins and fullservice cottages to choose from, spending a spring weekend at the park is the perfect way to enjoy the great outdoors.

wide selection of food and gift items, many of which are made locally, including handmade artisan jewelry, Pure Integrity soy candles, herbs and spices, candies and homemade soaps, which are made on the premises. For outdoorsy folks, there’s a large selection of Lodge cast iron cookware and cookbooks, as well as fishing tackle, birdfeeders and gardening supplies. There’s also a children’s toy section and a 30-foot train outside of the store that the youngest visitors will be eager to explore. Upstairs, several booths of antiques and furniture await shoppers looking for that hard-to-find treasure. A Victorian settee, a 19th century Edison Victrola, and a large steamer trunk are just a few of the rare antiques on the store’s second floor. For the savvy antique shopper, McLeod’s store offers a constantly changing selection of antiques, as nothing stays in the store for long. Attached to the shop is a cozy diner that has become a local favorite for both breakfast and lunch. Stuffed French toast, eggs Benedict, and “the omelette of the day” are always popular menu items, but none more so than the home fries,
which are fondly known as the best in the Southern Tier! For lunch, diners can enjoy homemade soups, sandwiches, burgers and beef on weck, which must be followed up by McLeod’s homemade desserts; the dessert menu consisting of delectable delights such as lemon meringue pie changes weekly. Ellicottville Country Store & Antiques is open Wednesday through Sunday from 9:30 am until 4 p.m., and the diner is open Thursdays through Sundays from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information, contact McLeod at the store at (716) 699-6100. Once you’ve headed back into Ellicottville, continue south on Route 219 into Great Valley, where Antiques & Interiors sits just before the junction at Route 98. Owner Shirley Reinhardt welcomes shoppers to her 4,000 squarefoot multi-dealer antique shop with its eclectic mix of furniture, vintage fashions and décor. At first sight, visitors are likely to be dazzled by the astonishing variety of estate and costume jewelry, which occupy several glass cases at the front of the store. Just beyond these accessories lies the “disco room,” which
is complete with sparkling disco balls that shine down on an array of vintage clothing from the 1940s to the 1980s. Funky sunglasses, vintage and designer handbags, stylish shoes and dozens of vintage hats invite shoppers to experience an era when no outfit was complete without a pillbox hat, gloves and fur coat. Don’t be deceived by Antiques & Interiors’ vintage fashions, for there’s much more for the whole family to appreciate! Enter the “man cave,” where all things outdoorsy abound. Antique dealers specializing in authentic mounts have filled this room with all kinds of creatures including deer, fish, an impala, a wildebeest, a wild turkey, and even antelope from eastern Africa. Vintage fishing rods and reels, hunting knives, and snowshoes are just a few of the items that occupy the “man cave,” where you can also find an impressive collection of coins dating back to the 18th century. Throughout the rest of the shop, visitors can find large pieces of furniture, such as writing desks, armoires, marble-topped tables and ornate dressers. Those looking for just the right light fixture will be delighted to find everything from hurricane lamps and crystal chandeliers to stained glass ceiling lamps. Speaking of home décor, Reinhardt also operates her interior design business out of Antiques & Interiors. Whether one is looking to redecorate one room or the whole house,
Reinhardt can customize the entire space and even creates beautiful window treatments. Reinhardt regularly designs homes and condominiums in Ellicottville, but her work has recently taken her as far as Florida. Antiques & Interiors is open Thursday through Monday from 11:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. and by appointment; call Reinhardt at (716) 945-6737 for more information. A few miles south of Antiques & Interiors, Great Valley Antique Center is just off Route 219 at 4343 Whalen Road. Its distinctive green metal roof with “ANTIQUES” painted in white lettering makes it hard to miss this impressive building! For fifteen years, owner Sherry Glenn managed Green Gables Antiques and Creekside Emporium before deciding to buy and re-open the antique/co-op building in September 2013. Now known as Great Valley Antique Center, this twostory building has more than fifty vendors who fill their own booths with all kinds of unique treasures. Downstairs, shoppers will find an enormous array of antiques and gift items. Toy collectors will enjoy selections of vintage FisherPrice toys, pedal cars and dolls, while train collectors will be excited to see cases full of railroad signs and train sets near the front of the store. Interested in recreating the retro style of Bewitched or Mad Men? Look no further than Great Valley Antique Center, where one can find console record players, classic 45 records and amber
bar glasses that will help you party like it’s 1969! Also on the first floor, shoppers can find primitive and country décor items, including Radiance Lighted Canvas Art, painted wooden wall hangings, vintage-inspired metal signs, scented candles, and wreaths. In the balcony-like second floor, shoppers can find all kinds of specialty items and antiques. “Yesterday’s Kitchen” features antique cast iron cookware, cookie cutters, rolling pins, milk carton holders, vintage coffee cans and kitchen canisters. Another section features antique tools, including farming tools. Sports collectors will be interested in the collection of vintage football, hockey and baseball jerseys. There’s also a yearround Christmas section, which includes cookie tins, ornaments, vintage tree stands, wall decorations and cookie cutters. Great Valley Antique Center is open six days a week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays, and 12-5 p.m. on Sundays. For more information, visit Great Valley Antique Center on Facebook or call Glenn at (716) 945-1900. Next, head to I-86 and drive west to Exit 16, where the historic village of Randolph awaits you. Yarn for Ewe & Destination 129 Main, located at, well, 129 Main, are two businesses that occupy the same large building. At Yarn for Ewe, knitters and crocheters will find a large inventory of yarn, needles, patterns and notions. On the other side of the store, Destination 129 Main houses antiques and collectables in several different booths! Although there are some beautiful pieces of furniture, Destination 129 Main specializes in smaller items
such as dolls, glassware, vintage baby clothes and books. Vendors have recently brought in several new items to their booths that have never been featured at Destination 129 Main before. A working Texaco shop vacuum from the 1960s, a treadle New Victory sewing machine and a Stickley Cherry bed frame from 1927 are just a few of the unique items that have recently arrived. Collectors of vintage clothing will be delighted to find dozens of baby dresses and layettes from the 1940s and 1950s arranged in a beautiful 1950s canopytopped crib. Vendors also have vintage postcards from all over western New York including Buffalo, Chautauqua Lake, and Olean. Although the retail yarn area of the store is separate from the antiques, naturally, there is some overlap between the two groups of merchandise. Vintage knitting and crochet patterns, issues of Workbasket and hand-knitted and crocheted baby sweaters are also part of Destination 129 Main’s unique inventory. Yarn for Ewe & Destination 129 Main is open Tuesdays through Fridays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information, contact owners Dianne Valvo or Mary Heyl at (716) 267-2070. Whether you’re looking for just the right piece of furniture to complete a room, matching a vintage china pattern or looking for a unique gift, there is something for everyone to enjoy at these antique shops in the Ellicottville area.

Getting the Garden Ready! By Cornell Cooperative Extension
It’s time to plan your vegetable garden, and whether you are planting seeds or transplants, it’s a good practice to look ahead at what your family will actually consume. Try to avoid planting vegetables that are not commonly eaten in your home to avoid them going to waste. Make sure that the size of your garden is within the realm of your care; smaller gardens may be beneficial to new gardeners
or small households because of the ease of maintenance and costs. After a season of gardening, if you need more yields, then consider expanding your garden. Before planting, take the time to map out the garden to make best use of space and to visualize how your garden is going to look. Make sure not to place tall plants where they might block the sunlight of smaller vegetables, and try to place any perennial plants together, along one side of
the garden. If you are starting a new garden this year, or looking to move your existing garden, it is good practice to really evaluate potential sites for necessary elements that makes a garden productive. The site needs to be relatively sunny, receiving at least six hours of direct sun daily. It is best to have a moderately level site that is well drained and free of any standing water. The garden should be located far enough away from trees to allow for sunlight
All area municipalities require you, your contractor or architect to obtain a building permit BEFORE construction begins. Please contact the Building Inspector/Code Enforcement Officer in your municipality for all the information you need.
and to reduce competition for water and nutrients. Good air circulation will help prevent disease and produce stronger plants, however, too strong of winds can damage your plants. Sometimes these elements are not all readily available in your useable space; this is where a raised bed could be established in a traditional garden’s place. Raised beds require more work to establish at a greater expense, but also allow a grower to control all the elements of their garden .
