EVL Festival Lineup is Sure to Satisfy
THIS WEEK:
By Eva Potter
Ellicottville knows how to throw a fantastic festival and this summer and fall are full of family-friendly events. Whether you come to listen to live music, admire and collect great art and crafts, taste your way through the village, wander around a car show or bring the family for a day of exploration, Ellicottville’s festivals should be on your mild-weather bucket list. Summer Music Festival, July 3–5 This popular summer event at Holiday Valley is eagerly anticipated each year and brings national acts to the outdoor stage for a three-day, multi-genre music festival. The weekend kicks off July 3 with a Mountaintop Party at Holiday Valley. Ride the chairlift to the top and enjoy drinks, hors d’oeuvres and a fabulous view. The party then moves to the Main Lodge for Monte Carlo night, where you can vie for impressive prizes. On July 4, the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra will delight all ages with their performance of well-known tunes from the “Star Wars” movies. You’ll really feel part of the show as it branches out into the audience when members of the Imperial Army and their axis friends “battle” the Rebel Alliance to conquer the hill for the emperor. You’ll also be treated to some zippy dance tunes to get your feet moving. The evening will end with a spectacular fireworks show

Erin Kelly Scores with New Book
‘Kelly Tough’ Book Signing May 26 By Alicia Dziak
It’s been many years since screaming Buffalo Bills fans filled Rich Stadium cheering for #12, Jim Kelly. And yet, for those who were around in the era when the Bills really made you want to shout, the memories of those days live on. Jim Kelly—the quarterback who led the Bills to four consecutive Super Bowls in the early 1990s—still seems larger than life to his fans, especially since his recent, very public battle with cancer. As news of Jim Kelly’s health spread, the social media world was flooded with #prayersforJK, and the entire Kelly family was always behind the scenes and in front of the cameras, leading the charge in the recovery of the football legend. While Jim Kelly is a household name around Western New York and beyond, to his oldest daughter, Erin, “He’s just my dad,” she said during an interview with the Ellicottville Times. At 20 years old, the young woman who just wrapped up See Kelly Tough page 9

Town of Mansfield Supervisor Bob Keis reported at the May 18 board meeting that he is working with the town and village of Ellicottville to prepare a plan for the state that demonstrates how the three municipalities
will save 1 percent of each of their operating budgets by consolidating services. Municipalities all over New York are being asked by the state to devise these “government efficiency plans.” Once submitted, the state will reimburse qualifying
homeowners for a share of their municipality’s property taxes. Qualified homeowners are those who meet the state’s STAR exemption requirements. Last year, homeowners See Mansfield Board page 8

Four Feet, Four Paws Cross-Country Hikers Take Break in EVL By Colleen Mahoney
Roughly 700 miles from their starting point, hikers Christine “Buttons” Herpfer, Rick “Bearwalker” Carbonell and four-legged companion Molly arrived in Ellicottville via the Finger Lakes Trail for a bed and “zero day.” The trio is on a 4,600 mile trek from Vermont to North Dakota, following the North Country Trail (NCT).
The longest scenic trail in the United States, the NCT was created in 1980 and passes through seven states and 12 National Forests. Although the trail begins in Crown Point, NY, Carbonell said they began in Vermont because a bill in the Senate proposes to extend the trail into Vermont. If passed, the NCT would extend into Willard Gap, VT and connect See NCT Hikers page 9

By Kim Duke NETA & AFAA Certified Trainer
In this week’s “Sweat This! Not That!â€? let’s look at ways to burn more calories while doing your workouts. To burn more fat while doing cardio‌
Choose short, high-intensity cardio bursts vs. keeping a steady-state cardio. In one Australian study, volunteers rode a stationary bike for either 40 minutes at a steady pace or 20 minutes of intervals alternating 8 seconds of sprints with 12 seconds of pedaling. After 15 weeks, the sprinters had lost three times as much body fat, including thigh and core flab. “Bursts of speed may stimulate a fat-burning response within the musclesâ€? said lead researcher Ethlyn Gail Trapp, PhD. To burn more fat while running‌ Choose to run outdoors vs. running on a treadmill. Propelling yourself on land is more challenging than on an indoor treadmill. Ever changing surfaces, weather and inclines will give you
more of a challenge than your indoor treadmill, even if it has programs to simulate different inclines. If you absolutely insist on the treadmill‌ Choose to walk at 2-4 mph on a treadmill at a 15 percent incline vs. running 7 mph on a treadmill set at a zero percent incline. Walking uphill on a treadmill is equally challenging, and it’s easier on the knees than jointpounding jogging, according to a study from A.T. Still University. Whenever you use a treadmill, use at least a slight incline. When your treadmill is set at zero, the belt is helping you move, and that means you’re actually burning fewer calories than if you just went for a walk outside. Stay tuned for more Sweat This! Not That!

comes from the appropriated fund balance. The rest, $6,881,220, comes from the real property tax levy. Proposition #1 passed by a vote of 153 to 46. Proposition #2 asked voters to approve the lease of two
new school buses at a cost of $32,200 for each of the next five years. This proposition was approved by a vote of 158 to 39. Proposition #3 asked voters to approve a $29,943 appropriation for the
Ellicottville Memorial Library. The vote was 134 to 64. Voters also elected current board member Connie Hellwig to a second five-year term on the board with 174 votes. There were no write-in or competing candidates.

My Daily Routine to Health, Fitness and Mental Breakdown Like most aging baby boomers I am determined to stay healthy, fit, active and … “Hey! Get that rubber glove away from me!” … medically violated on an annual basis. I try every day to do the right thing for my body, but Lord knows it ain’t easy. For instance, a few years ago when the study came out that red wine contained resveratrol which was quite beneficial for the heart, I went for it. When a follow-up study confirmed the resveratrol advantage but estimated a person would have to consume something like 20 bottles of red wine a day in order to experience real benefits, I went for that too. I have no recollection whatsoever of 2008. Still, I soldier on in the name of mental and physical wellness. I follow a daily regimen that I hope will see me fit and feisty by 85. Sometimes however, it seems my regiment has been infiltrated by the Taliban. My day begins when the radio alarm goes off and CBC-Radio One informs me that the Mideast is on fire and I’m scheduled to be there next week. Jack LaLanne, possibly the fittest man on earth, has died so what chance have I? And the worst – Stephen Harper is still prime minister. I reach for the bottle of Tylenol and by mistake I swallow a handful of Tums which cause me to begin belching like a bullfrog. I do stretching exercises for my back, pass on the push-ups for a second day and dress like I’m going to look for the lost Franklin expedition up near the Arctic Circle. I remove my old-fashioned, whistling kettle from the stove for my tea, list my day’s priorities and catch the local weather report, but there is none because everybody at Environment Canada has died of frostbite and hypothermia.
I scan the Toronto Star to learn that my stocks are sliding, the Raptors have lost twelve in a row and a new medical study links Alzheimer’s disease to tin pots, like my favorite, oldfashioned kettle. Depressed, I go out to my office in order to write something funny. Mid morning as I prepare breakfast, the smells of bacon and eggs frying, toast and fresh perked coffee still linger after all these years. I open a packet of Quaker instant oatmeal which helps lower my bad cholesterol. I return to my office in the hunt for something humorous to write about when I come across a recent clipping of Darryl Durr, a 46-year-old serial rapist and murderer in Cleveland who is asking for a stay of execution because he claims he will likely suffer a violent allergic reaction to the lethal drugs that the state of Ohio will use to kill him. After a few business phone calls, I go for a one hour walk out to Morgan’s Point and back wearing most of the clothes I own and a balaclava. I look like I just robbed a gas station for snack food. I catch the news on CBCRadio which warns people against exercising in these deepfreeze temperatures. By 12:30 I’d trade my car for a Dagwood sandwich with both mustard and mayonnaise. Instead I throw a handful of raspberries in a bowl and smear them in vanilla probiotic yogurt. I return to my morbid humor column finding another news item in which a woman who was put to death in Texas for murder ordered Twinkies, Cheez Doodles and Diet Coke for her last supper. The closest I’ve come to crime is a speeding ticket and yet from that threecourse ‘to die for’ meal, I could only have the Coke.
Mid afternoon I spot the courier guy backing up the driveway and I rush out to have a conversation with him because according to the experts, engaging in social intercourse reduces stress. I talk World Cup. He talks winter tires and fourwheel drive. He misinterprets my offer of intercourse. Awkward. Still starving, I have a snack of wild salmon, Triscuits and carrot sticks. I’m eating so much food loaded with Omega-3 fish oils, two small openings have appeared on my upper arms. They look a lot like gills. With this food, I take my pills - a multi-vitamin with mineral supplement, an aspirin, a CholLess tablet and niacin. Within minutes my body is covered in hives, my face is on fire and my heart is racing. I look at my grocery list. Bad handwriting means I bought “non-generic niacin” instead of “non-flush niacin.” I scratch my arms and legs with a BBQ brush until I pass out. I awake and face the fact that my daily plan to stay fit and mentally sharp has become a serious hazard to my health. I realize the only way I’ll ever see 85 is to move to Biritiba Mirim, Brazil and obey the law. Taking no chances, I stay perfectly still until 5:55 p.m. when final preparations are made for the news hour and my first “resveratrol treatment.” Today I will have to increase the dosage.

Town Board Continued from front page
plans. He explained that, in the near term, he and the trail board will be developing an awareness campaign and a website, implementing a point-of-sale system to accept donations, establishing several subcommittees, boosting social media activities, designating the trail head and breaking ground on the first 800 feet of trail. In addition, the trail will have a strong promotional presence at Ellicottville’s upcoming festivals. For the long-term, he and the board will develop a formal marketing and fundraising plan to see the project through to completion. Board member Kate O’Stricker, with the town board’s approval, completed and submitted pre-application forms for the DOT’s Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant on May 5. Under the terms of the grant, the Trail Board must identify a local entity that will serve as the project’s sponsor and commit to providing 20 percent of the funding total over five years. The board agreed to be that entity and authorized the
committee to submit the full TIGER grant application. O’Stricker explained that the grant request of $1.8 million would fund the section of trail from Ellicottville Central School to the Town Center. The town’s share would come to $360,000, but the trail board will raise private funds to cover that so no taxpayer dollars would be spent. O’Stricker said that the share could be waived by the DOT altogether since the project is in a rural area. The full grant application is due June 5. Supervisor’s Report In regular business, Supervisor John Burrell reported that auditors are nearly finished with the 2014 books. The auditors advised that $37,000 in encumbered funds from a 2014 highway department equipment account be moved to a 2015 equipment account. Burrell explained that all of the 2015 funds in this account have been spent on a truck, loader and tires. During this discussion, Highway Superintendent Loyd Hovey expressed frustration and confusion about the budget process, saying the only thing he thought he bought was tires.
He said the board seems to be doing “whatever you want” and then abruptly left the meeting. After his departure, the board suggested that Burrell ask the town’s accountant to explain the need for the fund transfer and the account balance to Hovey. At its May 1 special meeting, the board approved the appointment of former judge John Karassik as town justice, replacing John Nelson who recently resigned his post. Karassik will be able to start in mid-November after attending training. In the interim, the town’s other judge, Andy Stokes, will conduct both of the town’s courts. Karassik plans to run as a Republican for the elected position of town judge in November. If elected, his term would begin January 1 when the appointed term ends. Department Reports Police Officer in Charge Don Auge reported that the department has purchased a body camera. The cameras will not be used in an official capacity until a policy for camera use is approved by the board. That policy is currently under review.
The department also will be equipped and trained in the proper administration of Narcan®, a medication used to counter the effects of opioid (e.g. heroin) overdose. Proper administration “is an important skill for our officers to have,” Auge said. Department Reports Discussion of highway department gravel bids was tabled until the June meeting due to Hovey’s absence. Burrell said that the town’s insurance company asked to have the contents of the highway barn inventoried. Hovey “did a great job and included serial numbers and identified a lot of items that have never been insured,” he said. Town Engineer Mark Alianello was able to brief the board on three highway department plans and projects. The department has obtained pipes to replace a culvert at Witch Hollow at Sommerville Valley Rd. Repaving Sommerville Valley between Jed Ln. and the town line will begin once that work is complete. A culvert on Poverty Hill Rd. also will be replaced. Owners of a vacation home
on Stoney-Lonesome Rd. asked the town to provide information about what they would have to do to turn their driveway into a designated town road that would be regularly plowed by the highway department. Alianello gave the board a proposed route for the road and easements. Alianello will share the information with the homeowners and allow them to obtain engineering and construction estimates. Alianello also reported that he and Hovey had determined several locations where plow and truck turnarounds are needed, but which are likely to be expensive. He suggested the board develop a long-term plan and begin to budget for them. On the engineering front, Alianello said materials for repair of Holiville sewer pipes have been approved; a broken pump at water pumping station #2 has been replaced and a backup pump is being refurbished; and a water line associated with the Holiday Valley road realignment project has been approved by the county. Town Assessor Harry Weissman reported that assessment grievance day for
Ellicottville property owners is Tuesday, May 26. Those with grievances may meet with him from 4-8 p.m. in the town hall. Old Business The board is in the final stages of preparing a new Alarm System Local Law that will require homeowners to register their home alarm systems with the town. The law is intended to reduce the occurrence of false alarm calls to the fire and police departments by requiring homeowners to maintain their systems and provide contact information. The board expects to hold a public hearing on the new law at its July meeting. A public hearing on a townemployee health insurance buyout Local Law has been scheduled for the June 17 meeting. This law will allow eligible town employees to opt out of the town’s health insurance coverage if they provide proof of coverage on another policy. In lieu of the town’s health coverage, they may choose a $4,500 buyout to be paid in equal, taxable payments each pay period. The next meeting of the town board will be held on June 17 at 6 p.m. in the town/ village hall.

Wizard World Philly Shines Spotlight on EVL Artist
www.EllicottvilleTimes.com
Corporate Challenge and Cereal Challenge Set For June
A Chat with Shad Nowicki
By Caitlin Croft
The Ellicottville Times had a chance to sit down with Ellicottville artist, Shad Nowicki, after his most recent art show in Philadelphia at Wizard World, a company that produces numerous pop culture conventions across North America to celebrate the entertainment industry. Nowicki, who grew up in North Boston, NY, started painting with his fingers as a kid. Once he got a brush in his hand, he says, he never stopped. EVL Times: Tell us about the artwork you produce. Nowicki: All of my work is pre-1989 vintage comics and pop culture. The majority of my work is done with acrylics on canvas. I also incorporate original comic book, magazine and article clippings from the time-period of the piece. My work is 100 percent handpainted and original; I do not reproduce paintings, create prints or paint the same picture twice. EVL Times: Recently there has been a resurgence of Marvel & DC comics, characters and movies in mainstream pop culture. Was there ever a time
where you painted outside of the comic book world? Nowicki: Yes, I have been featured in art galleries all over the country, ranging from Los Angeles to New Orleans to New York City. I was known for using pizza boxes as my canvas. Now, I am all in with the comic book themed work. It is my passion and hopefully the success I have found will allow for that to continue. EVL Times: Tell us what Wizard World is and how you got involved. Nowicki: Wizard World started out as a monthly comic book magazine highlighting anything and everything that had to do with the world of comics. In the late 1990s, the company purchased the Chicago Comicon and expanded into multiple conventions across the country. I was approached by Wizard World to put together a booth for the 2015 Philadelphia Convention. EVL Times:Were there any artists at the convention who inspired you throughout your career? Nowicki: Yes, two of my all-time favorite artists were
at the convention, Neal Adams & Michael (Mike) Zeck. Neal & Mike have been working as comic book artists for the last 30-plus years. I actually got the opportunity to meet both of them during my time in Philadelphia. EVL Times: What was that like? Did you have a starstruck moment? Were there any other memorable visitors to your booth? Nowicki: It was unbelievable. They both came over to my booth to check out my artwork and told me how much they like it. This was amazing to hear from two of my biggest idols! There I was, standing in my booth, and the famous Neal Adams was complimenting my artwork. I also had a visit from Rob Bruce and Ming Chen of the AMC show “Comic Book Men.” They loved my artwork and are excited about what the future holds for my career. Also, Chris 51 from A&E’s “Epic Ink” stopped by to talk art and comics. EVL Times: Speaking of the future, what is next for Shad Nowicki? Nowicki: On June 5-7, I will be at the Comic Con Niagara Falls to meet fans and hand out sketches and posters. They will have to come find me though. It is held at the ScotiaBank Convention Centre in Niagara Falls, Canada. Hopefully, I can get another Wizard World show on my schedule for 2015, as well. A handful of commissioned work has come my way from the show in Philadelphia, along with a few other projects I want to keep under wraps for now… Stay tuned! EVL Times: You can keep up with Shad via Facebook (Shad Nowicki), Instagram (@ shadpaints) and his website www.shadart.biz.

The Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce (GOACC) and the Olean High School Sports Boosters invite all companies to participate in the fifth annual Southern Tier Corporate Challenge Run/Walk on Thursday, June 25 at the Cattaraugus County Campus of Jamestown Community College. The event was created by GOACC with the goal of supporting companies in creating internal wellness programs. “The Corporate Challenge allows local businesses to compete in a participative and competitive basis, while promoting fitness and corporate camaraderie,” said Meme Yanetsko, GOACC Chief Operating Officer. “And this year, our timing system has three back up programs to ensure accurate timing.” The race is open to both corporate and community teams. The challenge concludes with “Olean’s Largest Office Party” complete with individual awards: Fastest CEO, Fastest Man, and Fastest Woman; and community teams and
ECS Softball Seniors • Photos by Ellicottville Sports Boosters Facebook page
corporate team awards: Fastest Male Team, Fastest Female Team, and Fastest Co-ed Team. Teams need to be determined before the race -- as running or walking -- if competing as a team. Community Team is a team of friends, family, non-employment associates. Corporate Team is a team of employees of said company (this includes spouse if spouse’s employer doesn’t compete). The registration fee is $22 per participant and if registered by June 11, includes a race t-shirt, refreshments, and entrance to Office Party with live music. The Most Spirited Team (determined by team dress coordination, cheering for all participants, spirit during the challenge). You may not have the fastest runners in the field, but your team can still come out a winner (and look great too!) by entering the Logo Design Contest. Let your creative juices flow and come up with a design that incorporates either the Series logo, full event name or any other element of
the race (event location, city name, etc.). This is only a logo design. The winning design may be used in future events as the race logo. Back again to this year’s challenge – THE CORPORATE CEREAL CHALLENGE. Event organizers are teaming up with the Olean Food Pantry and Loaves and Fishes and creating a food challenge among the companies in the Southern Tier. Maureen Curry of the Olean Food Pantry stated, “The timing of this challenge couldn’t have been more perfect – we needed cereal for summer with the children out of school, and if our cupboards were bare that would have been sad faces for our customers.” 1,789 boxes of cereal were donated (up from 1,200 boxes last year). Special awards went to most boxes collected in total – Community Bank, NA with 552 boxes; and most boxes collected per employee went to A Jason Clemons Salon. This challenge will be a part of the overall Corporate Challenge registration form. To be included in this challenge, STEP ONE -- the official cereal form needs to be turned into GOACC and STEP TWO -- your donated food needs to be turned in and counted at the Olean Food Pantry by June 19 with a copy of this form. The Challenge will have two awards: Most Boxes Donated and Most Boxes Per Employee Donated. The 3.1-mile road race and 2-mile walk will run throughout downtown beginning and ending at JCC-Olean. For more information or registration details, please call GOACC at (716) 372-4433 or by email events@oleanny.com.

From the Bookshelf Recommended Reading from the Ellicottville Memorial Library
‘A God in Ruins’ By Kate Atkinson “He had been reconciled to death during the war and then suddenly the war was over and there was a next day and a next day. Part of him never adjusted to having a future.” Kate Atkinson’s dazzling Life After Life explored the possibility of infinite chances and the power of choices, following Ursula Todd as she lived through the turbulent events of the last century over and over again. A God in Ruins tells the dramatic story of the 20th Century through Ursula’s beloved younger brother Teddy – would-be poet, heroic pilot, husband, father and grandfather – as he navigates the perils and progress of a rapidly changing world. After all that Teddy endures in battle, his greatest challenge is living in a future he never expected to have. An ingenious and moving exploration of one ordinary man’s path through extraordinary times. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library.

East Otto Town Board Minutes April 14 and May 12 Editor’s Note: The Town of East Otto has selected the Ellicottville Times to be its official newspaper. The newspaper will reprint the town’s board meeting minutes as submitted. This month, the town has provided minutes from the last two meetings. The April 14, 2015 meeting of the East Otto Town Board was called to order at 8:09 p.m. Representative Randy Glen from Evans Ins. presented the board with his company’s proposal for insurance. His Company offers Selective and NYMIR. Scott Kearns from the Haddad Agency presented his company’s proposal for insurance. Currently the Town’s insurance is through Argonaut with the Haddad Agency. The Lawn mowing contract for mowing of the Brooklyn Cemetery, Town Hall, Ball Diamond and Historical building was awarded to Deanna Bowen for the 2015 season. Traffic Street resident Michael Guerin and his wife Leah made a presentation to the board requesting that Traffic Street be paved and opened for use 365 days a year. Currently and since its original development, Traffic Street has been a gravel based, partial seasonal, limited use road. Traffic Street is currently closed until necessary repairs can be made. After their presentation Supervisor James Beach informed them that the request would be taken up for advisement and reviewed during budget preparation. There are currently no funds available to make the repairs necessary to prepare Traffic Street for the additional truck traffic which would be required to maintain and keep the road open year around. The Clerk reported that the new scanner, purchased through the cooperative grant through STW for digitizing records, would be delivered Thursday. A letter was received from Homeland Security outlining updates to the Mutual Aid programs in place. A new copy of the Emergency Operations Plan will be provided for each board member. Highway: Tom explained the
signatures. The deadline for plan submission is June 1. In Highway Department news, Keis reported that no bids were received by the Department in response to its request for contractors to lay tile flooring in the highway barn. The board approved a request to solicit estimates from contractors directly. Highway Superintendent Brad Hurley reported that he had found a used 2007 Freightliner truck that will meet the needs of the department. The cost is $41,700. The board approved its purchase. The vehicle was located in Cleveland; no area vendors replied to Mansfield’s bid request. Hurley asked the board to approve the low bid for a
loader through John Deere’s annual rotation program. The program allows the town to trade in the vehicle each year, ensuring that it is always a new machine and under warranty. The cost to the town this year will be $12,242.95. The department expects to begin grinding and chipping 1.5 miles of Watson Road in the next few weeks. Work on patching and repairing roads and completing projects throughout the town that were funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will begin soon after. The next meeting of the Mansfield board will be held on Monday, June 15 at 7 p.m. in the town hall. All are welcome.

highway department’s position on Mr. Guerin’s presentation. There is no doubt that Traffic Street is in need of repair, as it is every year at this time. The fact that Traffic Street was being used through the winter, even though the Town was not plowing or maintaining it, only added to the amount of repair that is necessary. It is on the schedule to be repaired and reopened as soon as the ground is workable and dry. Tom feels that if the weather cooperates it should be open in a couple weeks. Urban gave Tom an estimate for insulation. There were several options. The Board would like Tom to price out materials and possibly have the highway employees install the insulation. A new diesel pump has been ordered for the tank. Tom is trying to find a way to meter the fuel used from the portable tank without incurring the expense of another new pump. Tom reported that the Peterbilt is acting up when it first starts. Tom is working on it. The driver’s side windshield needs to be replaced on that truck as well as the windshield on the 550. Tom has contacted STW to do a sign inventory in the town. Jim received a letter with the CHIPS appropriations amount. The amount received was $107,771.33. An audit/examination of the Justice books for 2014 was conducted. Deposits were verified with bank receipts and receipts for fines received. It was verified that the checkbook is regularly reconciled and that deposits are made in a timely manner. Contracts were signed with the Municipal Energy Program through the Association of Towns. Jeff Forster estimates the cost of a property re-evaluation to be about $30-34,000. Jim asked if the board was still interested in proceeding. They were all in agreement. Jeff Forster will advertise for bids to do the re-evaluation. The next meeting will be May 12, 2015. On April 29, 2015 the Town Board voted to accept the insurance proposal from The
Evans Agency naming Selective Insurance Co. of N.Y. as the carrier effective 5/1/2015. The May 12, 2015 meeting was called to order at 8:10 p.m. The new insurance co., Selective, is requesting that employee driving records be reviewed yearly. They will pay for the abstracts. A piece of equipment on the playground needs to be replaced. Jim asked Tom to make sure it was done. Jim provided Tom with a copy of the notice of compliance for the Cattaraugus County Self Ins. Pool to be posted at the shop. Tom would like to ask the property owners who are currently allowing the Town to use their property for turnarounds to sign a form giving the town permission to use their property as a turnaround for the town trucks and school buses. Traffic Street was reopened on May 1, 2015. There have been several requests for permits for solar panels. Jim suggested that Jeff Holler speak with the planning board to add that as a special use to the zoning. The town is still looking into creating a small scale recreation program for children in the Town of East Otto. In order to have such a program, the insurance company is asking for detailed procedures for hiring of employees to run the program and for the scope of the program itself. The Town Clerk and several board members are contacting other towns to see what procedures they have in place. The insurance company would also like to have the town start using a hold harmless agreement for anyone contracting with the town for services. A letter was received from Jeff Forster announcing his resignation as Assessor effective May 30, 2015. He also included another letter asking to be reappointed on June 1, 2015. This was required as a condition of his retirement. The Town Clerk/Tax Collector’s books were audited and found to be in compliance. The next board meeting will be June 9, 2015.

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. Keis said that Mansfield’s agreement with the village and town of Ellicottville to provide sewer and water services at WestMont Ridge (which is in Mansfield) will qualify under the state’s criteria as an inter-municipal agreement.

Youngsville Senior Gives Student Speech at Bona’s 155th Commencement
Joseph Yaegle reflected on his four-year love affair with St. Bonaventure when he addressed his classmates and guests at the university’s 155th Commencement Exercises at 10:30 a.m. Sunday, May 17. The 2011 Youngsville (Pa.) High School valedictorian will be awarded a bachelor’s degree in sport studies not long after his speech, which a committee selected among 10 other student submissions. “To be the speaker at a ceremony honoring a 155-yearold tradition is a feeling like none other,” Yaegle said. “This school means a great deal to me. It truly is my favorite place on Earth, and I’m definitely more than a little sad that my time here is almost up.”
Yaegle admitted he’s wanted to give the student speech at his commencement ceremony since the summer after his freshman year. “That was my first year as a summer orientation leader and I was so moved by the whole experience that I started practicing speeches in my car on the drive home,” he said. “I wrote about 20 different speeches before I finally settled on what I wanted to say and I have never been as nervous in my life as I was when I auditioned. I was so excited when they selected me. It may have been one of the best moments in my four years here.” In his time at St. Bonaventure, Yaegle has served as a resident assistant, orientation leader, student ambassador and peer coach. He also earned minors in biology, business and Spanish. The son of Marianne and Thomas Yaegle Jr., Yaegle plans to move to Myrtle Beach, S.C., to attend the Golf Academy of America to pursue an associate’s degree in operations management and a golf instructor’s certificate. “Golf is my true passion
and I intend to make a career out of it,” said Yaegle, an assistant pro at Jackson Valley Golf Club in Warren, Pa., since 2009. “I hope to some day be involved with the First Tee Organization, which helps to introduce the sport to young people. The game brings me a lot of happiness and I want to share that with others, and early on if I can.” Yaegle attributes that desire to share his passion to what he learned at St. Bonaventure. “One of the best lessons I’ve learned at Bona’s is to find happiness in helping or working with others,” he said. “My two favorite jobs have been my positions as an orientation leader and as a resident assistant. I get a lot of enjoyment out of helping other people and, regardless of what I do when I graduate, I want to find a way to continue to make that an important part of my life. “I hope to always put others before myself and do my best to build community wherever I go,” he said. “I don’t know if I would be able to do that if I hadn’t fully immersed myself here.”

By Lyn Chimera, Master Gardener – Cornell Cooperative Extensino
Without pollinators, our lives would be radically different. About 75 percent of all flowering plants depend on pollinators for fertilization. This includes about one-third of all our food and beverage plants. (Imagine life without coffee and chocolate!) Seriously, pollination is one of the requirements to complete the life cycle of plants. Just what is pollination? Basically, it’s the movement of pollen from one flower to another, which is necessary for reproduction. Pollinators are mostly after the nectar in flowers, and sometimes pollen. It is during their search for nectar that pollinators inadvertently get pollen from the flower on them, and thereby transfer it to the next flower they visit. Many people think of bees as the main pollinators, but there are actually eight other creatures that do this work as well: birds, bats, butterflies, beetles, flies, wasps, moths and small mammals. Some plants have sticky pollen which needs to have pollinators visit their flowers and carry the pollen from flower to flower. There’s another important contributor to pollination— the wind. The plants that rely on wind have light pollen that is blown by the wind like conifers, which spread their yellow pollen all over everything in early spring. At
our house we have to wait until after the pine pollen is done to put our porch furniture out or else we would have to clean it off every day. There has been a lot in the news over the past decade or so about the decline of pollinators and the collapse of many honeybee hives. What doesn’t make the news is that other pollinating insects are also in decline. We can help reduce this decline by taking a few easy steps. 1. Reduce or eliminate the use of pesticides. The problem with most pesticides is that they don’t just kill the targeted insect, they kill ALL insects that come in contact with it. Most of the insects in your garden are considered beneficial and are there to help. Many control harmful insects, are pollinators or helpful in other ways like decomposing. So, by trying to eliminate a few insects you are really harming many unnecessarily. 2. Create a pollinator-friendly habitat by including native plants. Many people think of native plants as being weedy and some can be. However, the majority of natives, if planted in the right location, make excellent additions to any garden. The native plants and animals, insects and birds evolved together over thousands of years and depend on each other for food, habitat and pollination. Many of the plants we have in our gardens originate from other countries and do not function as a food
source for our pollinators. For information on what to plant in your area, download a free ecoregional guide online at: www.pollinator.org 3. Educate your friends, school, government etc. about the importance of pollinators and what can be done to help. You can get lots of information and join the Pollinator Partnership at:www.pollinator. org Those who have vegetable gardens will increase their yield by encouraging pollinators. In the last few years we have had many questions on the Master Garden Helpline about why their squash or other veggies would bloom, but not produce. It’s often due to lack of pollination. By planting flowering plants you will attract the necessary pollinators. Plan your flowers so that a few varieties are blooming throughout the season. A fun way to learn more about pollinators is at The Buffalo Botanical Gardens Pollinator Festival, Sunday, June 14 from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Native gardening, butterfly, honeybee and pollinators are all part of the family fun There will also be a Pollinator Exhibit at the Botanical Gardens from June 14 - August 2. These activities are part of National Pollinator Week which is June 15-21. Let’s all do something to help these necessary and fascinating creatures!
