Gotta Fly! Sky Flyer Mountain Coaster Now Open Are you ready to fly down the slope at Holiday Valley without the snow beneath you? Now’s your chance! The Sky Flyer Mountain Coaster opens for the season on Friday, May 20 at 11 a.m. The Mountain Coaster, located by Tannenbaum Lodge, is similar to a roller coaster but it’s built on a mountain. One or two riders sit in a “car” attached to rails that pull you up the hill, then it follows a zig-zagging, spiraling path down the mountain. Riders can control their speed with brakes on their car. To enjoy the coaster, participants must be a minimum of three years old and 38 inches tall to ride with an accompanying driver at least 16 years old, and must be eight years old and 54 inches tall to drive. The Mountain Coaster is open Fridays through Sundays, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. through June 12. From June 17 to Sept. 5, it’s open daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Prices are as follows: $8 single ride, $14 for two rides, $35 for five rides, $42 ride all day, or a family 10-pack for $65. Of course, you can add even more fun to your coaster experience. The coaster is part of Holiday Valley’s Sky High, which also includes the Climbing Forest and Aerial Park. The Climbing Forest is like a 3D version of a rock wall. Climbers are harnessed in and sent to climb their choice of 10 trees outfitted with color-coded climbing holds, with difficulty

Calarco, Van Wicklin Win ECS Board Seats West Valley Voters Reject Budget and Board Chair By Jann Wiswall
Ellicottville Central School District voters convincingly supported the board and administration’s budget proposition for the 2016-17 school year and elected two candidates to school board posts. The vote in favor of
proposition No. 1 was 215 (yes) to 34 (no), authorizing the District to spend $11,903,306 next school year. In addition, voters approved proposition No. 2, authorizing the board to lease two school buses, by a vote of 211-37. Three candidates were vying for two seats on the school
board. Incumbent Carl Calarco received the most votes (214), earning him a five-year term on the board. Calarco is the board’s current chair. Robert Van Wicklin received the second highest number of votes (184). He will complete the three-year term that was See Election Results page 4
Sidewalk Cafe Permit/Regulations Adopted by Village Board By Jennie Acklin
At a special meeting of the Village of Ellicottville’s board Wednesday evening, May 18, sidewalk cafes and the annual reorganizational appointments were on the agenda. During the May 9, 2016 Village board meeting, Jim Carls of Dina’s Restaurant and Judy Roush of Tips Up Cafe
proposed that they and other village restaurants be permitted to serve alcoholic beverages with meals at their outdoor tables during late spring and summer. Existing Local Law #2 from 2006 allows such service. Per state law, the service area must be cordoned off and five feet of sidewalk must be left
available for pedestrians and wheelchairs. At the May 18 meeting, a draft document – “Village of Ellicottville – Sidewalk Cafes – Permit/Regulations” – was presented to the board. Two hours of point-by-point review took place, and several revisions were made. Village See Village Board page 8

ranging from very easy (yellow) to very challenging (purple). Minimum age is 5. The ever-popular Aerial Park is comprised of a series of platforms and bridges. The platforms are built in the trees, connected by zip lines and “bridges,” a term that is used loosely to describe the hanging chunks of wood, ladders and other challenging obstacles that get you from one place to the next.
LOCALS TAKE NOTE: A great way to celebrate opening day for the coaster and experience the Aerial Park is to take part in Locals Day on Friday, May 20. Score a ton of fun for only $10 for the Aerial Park, and $12 for the Aerial Park plus a coaster ride. Reservations are suggested by calling 699-HIGH.
Maples Rd. Construction Not Yet Scheduled By Jann Wiswall
Property owners along Maples Road (Cattaraugus County Rt. 13) from Kent Rd./Hencoop Hollow to just beyond Hollister Hill Road in the town of Mansfield have been waiting for roadway improvements for many years – decades according to some. And according to Mark Burr, director of engineering in the County’s Department of Public Works, the wait is nearly, but not quite, over. The project calls for raising, widening and straightening portions of the road, replacing a bridge, repairing corners and ditches, substantially improving drainage and resurfacing the entire road. As Burr explained to the Mansfield board at its May 16 meeting, the county has been working on the project for 5-6 years, a typical timeline for
projects of this size. It is fully designed and engineered. The last step, he said, is getting final environmental permits (the area has sensitive wetlands that must be protected), which may take another month or so. At that point, the project can go out for bid. Realistically, he said, the earliest start date would be about three months from now (mid-late August). However, he pointed out that the road will be closed to through traffic for the duration of the project, and he said that he will not allow the project to begin if completion cannot be guaranteed before winter. “We have to have it open to traffic through the busy tourist season,” he said. The worst-case scenario would be a delay until spring 2017.
Burr said estimates put the cost of the project in the $3.54 million range, which is less than originally expected thanks to lower oil prices. The official detour – from Rt. 242 in Ellicottville and all the way through Little Valley to Toad Hollow Road and back around – is intended for trucks and through traffic. Burr noted that other, shorter routes are readily available for local drivers. “This is an important investment in the community,” Burr said, adding that “It’s long overdue and we’re excited to get it done.” He promised to keep the board informed and up-to-date on its progress. The next meeting of the Mansfield board will be held on Monday, June 20 at 7 p.m. at the town hall. All are welcomed.

Weight Loss and Food Diaries
By Kim Duke, NETA & AAFA Certified Trainer
For years, both male and female clients have turned to me to help them lose weight and tone up their bodies. I can provide them with the exercise portion of this request, but I always tell them that the food factor is what will truly help them lean up. I always find it interesting when I ask them to describe a typical day of meals, snacks and forms of hydration, because if they were really eating as well as they reported, they would not be struggling with their weight at all. So, I commonly ask them to keep a food diary for a minimum of three days, and what is discovered is truly
eye opening. Typically, my clients do not realize how much they are eating and snacking until they start their food diary. In a recent study at the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research in Portland, OR, senior investigator Dr. Victor Stevens reported that those who kept food records six days a week — jotting down everything they ate and drank on those days — lost about twice as much weight as those who kept food records one day a week or less. “I think the most powerful part is accountability and the next most powerful part is increasing awareness of where those extra calories are coming from,” says Stevens. Showing your food diary to someone else is even better, in terms of accountability; that’s what participants in Stevens’ study did. “You’re accountable to yourself when you’re writing it down and you’re accountable to other people who are looking at your food record,” says Stevens. Food diaries can also help target areas for improvement. For instance, Stevens says a food diary might make someone realize that he or she
vacated by the resignation of Michelle Cortez in May 2015. The third candidate running for a board post, Donnald Hensel, received 81 votes. Calarco said he thanks “our great community for their continued trust and support in me, and electing me to another term on the Board of Education. I will continue to do all I can to secure, enhance and maintain the high level of education, and associated
is eating 1,000 calories at lunch and set a goal to trim lunches. Here are some tips I tell my clients when they are starting to keep a food diary: Write as you go. Don’t wait until the end of the day to record what you ate and drank. I recommend they write it down as soon as they can after they eat. Don’t skip your indulgent days. I encourage people to record exactly what they are eating and drinking. It is so important to be honest when keeping a food diary. This way, we can work together to make comfortable changes and help curb your cravings. Cook at home. You’ll have more control over what you consume, and you know what that food contains, and how much of it you’re eating. That makes for a more detailed entry in your food diary. Many of my clients that have enjoyed weight loss success by keeping a food diary no longer keep them because their healthy lifestyle has now become their habitual lifestyle. These clients also realize that if they have a day that they “fall off the wagon,” the next day, they just jump back on.
opportunities, we are providing at ECS. Van Wicklin, who is vice president for advancement at St. Bonaventure University and has a child at ECS, notes that “the school is the heart of the community and I’m thrilled to be able to serve the Ellicottville community in this way.” Both will begin their terms on July 1, 2016. West Valley Upset As most school districts in western New York calmly passed their budgets on Tuesday, West Valley Central School District voters turned out in record numbers and defeated a proposed $8.9 million budget. Six hundred voters turned out to reject the measure by a vote of 271 (yes) to 329 (no). In 2015, just 254 people voted. The WVCSD voters also voted to replace incumbent board member and current
The West Valley Central School Board of Education approved fully funding a pre-merger study with both Ellicottville Central School and Springville-Griffith Institute. The decision was made at the board’s May 9 meeting, after receiving a letter from ECS Superintendent Mark Ward in
which the district refused to partially fund the study. WVCS Superintendent Eric Lawton explained that a premerger study would research the best district for the school to merge or annex with, at a fraction of the cost of a full merger or annexation study. Lawton expects the study will cost less than $6,000. The study
would report the financial and educational impact of entering into an annexation or merger with either district. The ECS Board previously stated it was not interested in sharing the cost of the study and is only interested in annexation with WVCS.

Next steps for the district, which is considering a merger or annexation with either ECS or Springville-Griffith Institute, will be reported as soon as information becomes available.
Proving beyond doubt that scientific experiments can be fun, Ellicottville High School Science Teacher Helena Brierton challenged her 9th and 10th grade students to create a container that would keep a raw egg from breaking -- when dropped from the top of a fully extended fire truck ladder! The challenging experiment, which drew many spectators – students, teachers and parents alike – was part of the school’s annual Science and Technology Exposition which took place on Tuesday, May 17.

Springville really heats up in May and June! If you’re looking for shopping, outdoor activities, great times for a great cause, or anything in between, look no further than this small town where big fun awaits! On Sunday, May 22, offroaders can take part in the Emerling Jeep Trail Ride at Kissing Bridge Resort. The day includes lunch and access to 47 miles of trails throughout the ski resort. Attendees must preregister at Emerling Chrysler Dodge at 195 Main Street in Springville. How about some local history?

Art in the Park/Taste of Olean Moving to War Vets Park Art in the Park/Taste of Olean will have a new location for 2016. The Art in the Park/Taste of Olean committee responded to concerns expressed over construction on North Union, which would make the location of Jamestown Community College Campus less convenient for the public, as well as for the participating artists and restaurant vendors. As a result, the event will be held at War Vets Park, at the corner of Front and East State Streets across from Bradner Stadium in Olean. The event will be on Sunday, July 24, 2016 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The public, artists and food vendors will appreciate the many mature shade trees and the wide open spaces of this beautiful park. Picnic tables, the dining pavilion, playgrounds and a pool, along with the artists and food vendors make this a familyfriendly destination to spend the entire day. It’s not too soon to put the date on your calendar and make plans for a tasty, art-
filled summer day. Artists are encouraged to sign up early to get the “early bird” booth fee. After June 19, the booth fees go up by $20. The final booth registration deadline is July 10. Artists should go to the Cattaraugus County Arts Council (CCAC) website, www.myartscouncil. net, to the Events section and then the Art In The Park Artist Guidelines page. There you will find the dates, tent and
participation requirements, a link to the application form, and the Paypal option to pay the booth fee directly online. If there are questions, please call the CCAC office (716) 3727455. Restaurant vendors interested in participating at the event should contact the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce at (716) 3724433 or by email at info@ oleanny.com.

Join Laura and many others at the Village Gazebo from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. If yoga isn’t your thing, but you want to learn how to get that perfect cast on a fly rod, Adventure Bound on the Fly is bringing in industry leader, Orvis, to teach a free Fly Fishing 101 class. The classes will focus on the cast and outfit rigging. Saturday’s classes start at 2 p.m. at the Paddle Demo Center, on the pond behind Tim Horton’s on Route 219, on the east side of the Village. Holiday Valley’s Double Black Diamond Golf Course will also be getting into the swing of things. From 11 a.m. to 2 pm, at the Driving Rage at the intersection of Holiday Valley Road and Route 219, the pros at the course will be animal keepers with the Golfapatomas and Golfzilla both on the grounds and ready to devour the birdie balls from golfers. For kids up to age 18, a Drive, Chip and Putt skills contest will take place. This will be just like the challenge that is held at The Masters Tournament at Augusta National. While all of this takes place, Nike and Calloway will have 2016 clubs available to demo. For the mountain bikers that are in the area, Dennis Baldwin will conduct an instructional seminar at Holiday Valley. Times and location to be determined at this time. Sunday morning, take your pick! Either spend some time on the trails on a mountain bike with Dennis Baldwin or find yourself a spot to lay your mat or towel for another morning yoga session with Laura Solly.
Both activities start at 9 a.m. Solly’s session will be at the gazebo once again and Dennis’ ride will start at Bike and Bean. The Paddle Demo Center will once again host the Orvis Fly Fishing 101 class at 10 a.m. For either day of the classes, reservations can be made by calling Adventure Bound on the Fly at (716)217-4047. Throughout the weekend, the Paddle Demo Center will also be the host of paddle board demonstrations. While the events are going on, Spruce Lake, at Holiday Valley, will be the home to horseback rides, trail hikes and birds of prey shows. Holiday Valley Road will be open, weather permitting, to allow for parking near the lake. “This is just a taste of what you can do in our area during the Green Season,” Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce executive director, Brian McFadden, said. “The great thing about all of these activities is that they can be done any day of the week. You don’t have to wait until the weekend to come out and
hike or bike. Our area is open for business and ready to be your trailhead at any point throughout the week as well.” On top of all of the great free activities, Holiday Valley will have a host of deals. Range balls will be available on a “buy one, get one” basis with tokens being available at the Pro Shop or from on-site staff at the Driving Range. Small buckets are $4 and large are $8. Rides down the hill on the Mountain Coaster will be buy one, get one free as well. (Regularly $8 per ride.) Trips down the coaster can be purchased at the Coaster or at the Harness Shop. The Climbing Forest will have the same buy one, get one deal on the regularly priced $17 trips. The weekend’s full calendar is not complete and more will be added as it is confirmed. Check the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce website at ellicottvilleny.com to see what’s new! Contact the Chamber of Commerce at (716)699-5046 or info@ ellicottvilleny.com for more information.

His friend the governor is just cranking up a presidential campaign, though, and he invites Lucas to come along as part of his campaign staff. “Should be fun!” he says, and it kind of is—until they find they have a shadow: an armed man intent on killing the governor . . . and anyone who gets in the way.

Village Board Continued from front page
Attorney Bob Simon will be submitting those revisions in a final document by Friday, May 20. Carls and Dina Dipasquale of Dina’s restaurant were in attendance, as was Roush of Tips Up Cafe and Dominic Spicola of the Winery of Ellicottville. Questions about how the permit process would take place, whether food only or alcohol only could be consumed under the permit, as well as several other logistical issues were heard by the board. It was concluded that any person or corporation may operate a sidewalk cafe within the Village of Ellicottville on the Village sidewalk immediately adjacent to the applicant’s place of business upon obtaining a permit from the Village, beginning as soon as this summer. Sidewalk cafes will be permitted from May 1 through September 30. Consumption of alcoholic beverages on or at any sidewalk cafe will be allowed from 11:00 a.m. (noon on Sundays) to 11:00 p.m. daily. Open container law notices will be posted at each cafe reminding patrons that Village law prohibits anyone leaving the restaurant with their beverages.

Klahn, Village Attorney Bob Simon of Backhaus & Simon, Village Engineer and Village Planner Nussbaumer & Clarke, Inc., and Village Accountant

Board Member Patra Lowes resigned her position as chair of the Special Events committee. Burrell will temporarily take the position until a permanent committee chair is appointed. The board approved the annual salaries and pay rates of all elected officials and employees of the village and compensation for members of the village’s planning, zoning and assessment review boards.

St. Bonaventure President Honored With Medal From Pope Francis St. Bonaventure President Sr. Margaret Carney, O.S.F., was honored by Pope Francis during the university’s Baccalaureate Mass Saturday afternoon. Sr. Margaret received a standing ovation from more than 1,000 students, family members and university community members after Fr. Greg Dobson, pastor of St. Mary of the Angels Roman Catholic Church in Olean, surprised her with the papal medal at the end of the Mass, held in the Reilly Center Arena. The Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice — meaning “For Church and Pope” in Latin — medal is an award of the Roman Catholic Church. The medal was established by Leo XIII on July 17, 1888, to commemorate his golden sacerdotal jubilee and was originally bestowed on those men and women who had aided and promoted the jubilee, and by other means assisted in making the jubilee and the Vatican Exposition successful. The medal is given for distinguished service to the church by lay people and clergy. It is the highest medal that can be awarded by the Pope to non-ordained members
of the church or laity. Sr. Margaret, 74, is stepping down as president in July after 12 years as president and nearly 20 years at the university. Fr. Greg, vicar of Southern Cattaraugus County in the Buffalo Diocese, presented the medal and papal certificate on behalf of Buffalo Bishop Richard J. Malone, who nominated Sr. Margaret for the honor but was unable to attend the Mass. When she announced her decision to step down in January, Bishop Malone said: “I have deep personal esteem for Sr. Margaret, and am grateful for her service to St. Bonaventure University,
which has maintained its strong Franciscan heritage and continuing presence in our diocese.” Prior to being inaugurated as president in 2004, Sr. Margaret served as the dean and director of the Franciscan Institute of St. Bonaventure. The Institute operates a center for research and textual scholarship in the field of Franciscan/medieval theology, history and philosophy and a school that educates leaders for the various branches of the Franciscan religious orders in the Catholic Church. St. Bonaventure’s graduation ceremony is Sunday morning.

ASP GeoBash This Weekend
Get out of the house and come join in the fun as Allegany State Park launches a
new series of hikes called “3rd Saturday Treks.” As the name implies, these free, family-
Free Admission to State Parks for Fourth Graders Allegany State Park Geobash (ASPGB or ASP Geobash) is a geocaching “Mega Event” held every May at Allegany State Park. A Mega Event is a regularly held (usually annually, as is the case with ASP Geobash) social gathering of geocachers. To quality as a Mega Event, an event must have at least 500 participants each time that it is held. Geocaching is an outdoor recreational activity, in which participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or mobile device and other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called “geocaches” or “caches”, anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook (with a pen or pencil). The geocacher enters the date they found it and signs it with their established code name. After signing the log, the cache must be placed back exactly where the person found it. Larger containers such as plastic storage containers (Tupperware or similar) or ammunition boxes can also contain items for trading, such as toys or trinkets, usually of more sentimental worth than financial. Geocaching shares many aspects with benchmarking, trigpointing, orienteering, treasurehunting, letterboxing, and waymarking. Geobash will be held May 20-22. For more info, visit www. aspgeobash.com.
New York State Parks will accept the National Park Service’s (NPS) Every-Kid-in-a Park pass upon presentation for free entry for 4th grade students into all state parks in 2016. The pass applies only to the vehicle entry fee, and the 4th grader must be present in the vehicle. The pass will also be accepted at state historic sites for the pass holder and up to three adults for house tour fees. This is a pilot program as part of a series of initiatives to encourage youth visitation to state parks, historic sites and public lands. Fourth grade students can obtain and print their pass at www.everykidinapark.gov.
friendly hikes will take place on the 3rd Saturday of each month from April through October. These treks will be led by park staff, members of the Allegany State Park Friends Group, or Historical Society members and each will focus on a different area of the park. This month’s 3rd Saturday Trek will take place on May 21 Participants will explore various features of the Quaker Run Area and their historical significance. This easy guided hike, suitable for all ages, will give you a look into the past
to the beginning of Allegany State Park while enjoying the park’s present charm. The hike will begin at 10 a.m. Participants are asked to meet in the parking lot across from the Quaker Rental Office and to come dressed to hike and for the weather. Each hike will last approximately two hours. Registration is not required. For more information, visit the Allegany State Park Facebook page or contact Katie Vecellio at (716) 354-9101 x236 or katie.vecellio@parks.ny.gov.
Texting: If You’re Driving, It Can Wait According to AT&T, “When you see the driver next to you looking at their phone, it’s no longer safe to assume they’re texting. New research from AT&T shows nearly 4-in-10 smartphone users tap into social media while driving. Almost 3-in-10 surf the net. And surprisingly, 1-in-10 video chat.” With that in mind, AT&T expanded its “It Can Wait” campaign from a focus on the dangers of texting while driving to include other smartphone-related driving distractions that put ALL travelers at risk. “When we launched It Can Wait…, we pleaded with people to realize that no text is worth a life,” said Lori Lee, AT&T’s global marketing officer. “The same applies to other smartphone activities that people are doing while driving. For the sake of you and those around you, please
keep your eyes on the road, not on your phone.” Currently, AT&T is asking people to “take the pledge” to “keep your eyes on the road, not the phone.” More than eight million people are already on board! Plus, AT&T has created a free “DriveMode” App that “silences incoming text message alerts so you can keep your eyes on the road and stay focused while driving…and… Parents of young drivers can receive a text message if the app is turned off.” The App is downloadable through the Apple App Store or from Google Play. In addition, AT&T has created a number of other tools that can help keep drivers focused on their main task at hand. Visit www.itcanwait. com to make your pledge and find advice on keeping yourself, your friends and your family safe.

Town Board Continued from front page
have it resolved by the next board meeting. McAndrew and Town Engineer Mark Alianello said that an outside expert was asked for his advice on a new HVAC system for the town hall. Two proposals using different systems (furnace vs. heat pump) had been received. Based on the age of the building, the expert’s recommendation and other factors, the board decided it would be better to go with a furnace system; Alianello will put together specifications and advertise the project for bid. The board reviewed the text of an amended local law to allow the board to override the state’s tax levy limit in 2017 if needed. The action is taken in most years for primarily procedural reasons; to date the board has not needed to raise taxes above the limit. And while the board hopes an increase is not necessary next year, it is expecting sales tax revenues to be off significantly this year as a result of the poor winter tourist season. If that is the case, the town may have to raise additional funds for services in other ways – amending the law opens up one option. A public hearing on the local law was scheduled for the June board meeting. Department Reports Police Officer in Charge Don Auge reported that officers directed traffic for a Relay for Life team’s very successful boot drive last month. The team raised some $3400 for the cause. Auge also reported that one full-time officer has resigned and there is also a part-time position open. He said he has a candidate for the part-time position and will begin a search for a replacement for the fulltime officer. Board member Greg Fitzpatrick commended Auge and Officer Kelly Phillips for their response to an employee’s health emergency at his offices. Fitzpatrick said that, thanks to their training in first aid, they saved his employee’s life.
Highway Superintendent Tom Scharf gave the floor to Mark Alianello who had been serving as acting superintendent until a few weeks ago. Alianello said that he and Scharf had been working on a department work plan for this year and asked the board to approve their recommendation for major highway improvement work on Sommerville Valley, Upper, Deer Crossing and Holiday Valley Roads. They also recommended replacing culverts on Upper, Holiday Valley and Simmons Roads. Alianello said there is also enough money in the budget to make smaller improvements on many other of the town’s roads during the summer and fall. The board approved the plan as presented. The board also approved Alianello’s request to go out to bid on a roof for the fuel storage area at the highway department. Changing into his Town Engineer hat, Alianello next reported that he expects to be ready to go out for bid on the replacement booster pump and related equipment by the next board meeting. He also asked the board to approve his engineering firm’s work proposal and fees to design and engineer the project. The request was approved. Town Clerk Robyn George updated the board on her research on paperless document storage and records management. She said she is talking with Southern Tier West about grant money that might be available later this year. Finally, the board approved Tracy Stokes’ request to pay summer camp counselors $9 per hour and the assistant camp director $11.48 per hour. Stokes is Deputy Town Clerk and Summer Park Program Director. The next meeting of the town board is scheduled for Wednesday, June 15 at 6 p.m. in the town/village hall. All are welcome.

ELLICOTTVILLE LANDSCAPING

Wild Edibles Workshop June 2
Some people gather wild plants to eat for survival, others to save on the grocery bill. Foraging can also be a wonderful way to spend time outside, learn plant identification, try new foods, and strengthen your connection to the earth and the food it produces to nourish our bodies. On Thursday evening, June 2, you can learn to identify late spring/early summer greens,
flowers and other wild edibles at the Audubon Nature Center’s “Edible Audubon - Spring into Summer ” workshop. At the 6-8 p.m. class, participants will discover how to recognize edible plants and distinguish them from those that may look similar. After reviewing some basic ground rules and safety considerations about harvesting wild edibles, the
class will head outside to identify those growing and blooming in the late spring/ early summer. Also covered will be some popular plants you definitely do not want to eat. Back inside, participants will taste samples and discuss easy ways to make wild plants part their meals. Instructor Katie Finch is a naturalist at Audubon who has been enthusiastically eating “weeds” for several years. This class includes a walk up to one mile on flat ground. Remember to dress for the weather. The fee is $20; $16 for Friends of the Nature Center and children ages 9-15. Paid reservations are required by Tuesday, May 31: Stop by, call (716) 569-2345 during business hours, or use the online form by clicking on “Edible Audubon Spring into Summer ” at www. jamestownaudubon.org.
