Giddyup! The Rodeo is Village Water Rate Increase Debate Continues Coming to Town!
By Caitlin Croft
The Ellicottville Championship Rodeo returns July 2-5 for its 27th year of great family fun, hosted as always by founders and avid rodeo lovers John and Karen Kent. Over its long history, the rodeo has grown and attracted contestants from around the world and
is now one of the largest International Professional Rodeo Association/American Professional Rodeo Association-sanctioned rodeos in the northeast. Some 450 professional riders from all over the world who make their living riding rodeo will be in Ellicottville to compete for prize money made up of funds from all of the contestants’ entry fees and added money from the Ellicottville Rodeo. There will be more than 150 head of stock for the event, and Ellicottville Championship Rodeo provides all of the feed and hay for the competition. The stock is world-class rodeo stock, which is instrumental to having the best bucking, fastest horses and bulls. The rodeo is divided into two categories: Rough-Stock (or Riding Events) and Timed Events. Riding events include Bareback Bronc Riding, Saddle Bronc Riding and Bull Riding. Contestants receive a score from each of the two professional See Ellicottville Rodeo page 9

Board Reviewing Comprehensive Plan
By Jann Wiswall
The Village Board is still debating how it will structure a water rate increase for village residents and businesses. While the board agrees that more funds must be raised to help pay for short- and longterm infrastructure repairs
to the 100-year-old system, the board has not yet settled on methods of calculating a fair and equitable increase, especially in light of the fact that rates were reclassified and increased for most customers in 2013. The 2013 adjustment is generating $20,000 more
in water revenue than in the previous year — or a total of $148,000. Jim Campolong, capital projects manager for Nussbaumer & Clarke, explained to the board that the 2013 increase was a start, See Village Board page 9

The third weekend in June will find The Gin Mill hosting a unique group of musicians who all bring the island-stateof-mind to life through their music. The Gin Mill “Trop-Rock Weekend” will consist of three evenings of “Trop-Rock” and “Beach-Folk” music beginning on Thursday, June 18 and continuing through Saturday, June 20. Traveling to Ellicottville from their home state of Florida are two of the most popular artists in this genre— James “Sunny Jim” White and John Frinzi. Both of these talented artists are heard frequently on Radio Margaritaville on Sirius/ XM and are very popular among the Jimmy Buffet fans known as “Parrot-Heads.”

To round out the weekend, there will also be a performance by the Gin Mill “house band” Fred & Tuck, who always know how to keep the party going!

With his distinctive slide guitar sound from the Deep Roots of the Florida Cypress Swamp!
Gumbo and Blues at Balloons on Father’s Day Want to treat Dad to something really cool on Father’s Day? Head to Balloons, where Sauce Boss will be cooking up his famous gumbo and hot original slide guitar blues during a clambake, beginning at 2 p.m. Bill “Sauce Boss” Wharton brings his high energy, gumbo stirring, swamp funk to the gig. For those who don’t know about the Sauce Boss, he brings his own hot sauce to the
gig, and he cooks gumbo while smoking his slide guitar. At the end of the show, everyone gets a bowl. Now he’s added some new flavors to the “stew.” Sauce Boss not only plays slide, sings his tamales off, makes gumbo, and feeds everybody… he will also be playing a drum kit with his feet. “You take that 53 Telecaster, pump it through that 48 Fender amp, add a bass rig, mix in some drums,
all simmered down over some funky swamp blues, and smothered with gumbo, and you got a recipe for the largest one-man band on the planet.” Sauce Boss is a favorite of Parrot-heads everywhere after Jimmy Buffett wrote about him in his song “I Will Play for Gumbo.” Check out next week’s Ellicottville Times for more information about the Clambake.

GV Cell Tower Decision Delayed Again
By Colleen Mahoney
On June 10, the Great Valley Planning Board tabled its vote on a proposed cell phone tower until further notice. The decision to table the vote came at the request of Verizon Wireless Inc. and Horvath Communications, which asked for more time to provide a visual analysis. In a letter to the planning board, The Murray Law Firm, on behalf of Verizon and Horvath, requested the board allow Verizon to provide a balloon simulation which will show the visual impact of the tower. The firm also asked the planning board to keep the public comment open for written communication only. The planning board agreed and will wait to have all of Verizon’s information before moving forward with the vote.
Verizon has proposed the tower be erected on Timothy Halloran’s Martin Road property. According to Verizon, that property is the best site “due to its elevation, parcel size and prime location at a distance from the hills to the north.” Ten other properties were evaluated as possible sites for the tower. Reasons they were ruled out range from insufficient space to the number of trees in the area. Some properties fell outside the radio-frequency ring and others were too close to hills or surrounding trees, which would cause “radio-frequency shadowing,” the Verizon report states. Those who will be within direct view of the tower, however, feel that some of the other sites would be
sufficient and would minimize the visual impact. “We’re not against the tower,” said Ricky Howard, whose house sits 564 feet from the proposed site. “Just move it back into the trees so we don’t have to see the whole 200 feet.” Howard said no one is against anyone having cell phone service, and just wants to see the proposed site moved. “We’re willing to negotiate, all we’re asking is to move the tower,” he said. “Just move it directly east about 300 yards.” The planning board will continue to accept written comments regarding the proposed cell tower until further notice. The next meeting of the Great Valley Planning Board is scheduled for Wednesday, July 8 at 7 p.m. at the GV Town Hall.
A Postie Returns to Portugal - But Why? It’s been exactly 20 years since the European Road Trip from Hell and ... we’re going back! In the spring of 1995, I took my brother-in-law Dan on his first trip to Europe. Portugal to be exact, and it turned out to be more of an overland military mission than a holiday. As the organizer of the trip, I made one serious strategic error in traveling with my brother-inlaw in that, after I agreed to go, I ... okay, make that two serious strategic errors. After I agreed to go, I put Dan in charge of the driving. As the official navigator, translator and sightseeing guide, I was deeply disappointed in not being able to use my talents because as the official driver, Dan did not stop. Except to sleep and even then, sometimes at the wheel. After landing in Lisbon from Toronto, we drove south to Alentejo, north to Garda, east to Spain through Malaga, then southeast to Africa and Morocco, then we did stop because Dan felt that was enough driving for the first day. Early in the trip, we had several disagreements about the daily itinerary, but Dan stuck to his claim that during all the preparation sessions, no mention was ever made of stopping. Roaring north out of Lisbon, we passed through the picturesque mountain village of Belem, where I pointed out for Dan the famed tomb of Portugal’s greatest explorer, Vasco da Gama, who sailed from here in 1497 and returned in triumph having discovered the passage to India. Without even slowing down, Dan said “India?” and asked me to pass him the map. We went to Seville, the heartbeat of Spain with its mysterious winding alleys, secluded, sun-drenched patios and jasmine-scented gardens. At least that’s what the guidebook claimed. I didn’t actually see any of this because
we went to and through Seville, as Dan likes to say, “like ripe grain through a loose goose!” We did Seville in less than 30 minutes and if it wasn’t for “a bunch of noon-hour geeks and gawkers,” Dan feels we could have done much better. All I saw was a man with an overturned bread cart in the rearview mirror, shaking his fist at us near the Cathedral de Seville. All told, we passed by, but did not visit, the tomb of Vasco da Gama, the mausoleum of Henry the Navigator in Sagres and even the shrine to Christopher Columbus in Seville, because as Dan said (and he does have a point here), these were all just dead guys who couldn’t pump gas or clean windshields. So for Dan, Europe was strictly a matter of speed and mileage. For me — not that I mind sitting in a car for 14 or 15 long, hot, sweaty hours at a time — it was a little tiring. I shouldn’t say we never stopped. Near Badajoz, Spain, he stopped and had me take a photo of him beside an old man on a donkey so he could tell all the guys back at the post office he’d met Juan Valdez on his holidays. Our European motor tour became our ultimate bonding experience in the sense that we spent so much time driving on oppressively hot days, a few times we actually stuck together. But we did a lot of European-type things too. For instance, after evening meals, I explained to Dan the quaint continental custom of “taking the air.” Dan enjoyed this and we did it a lot. He preferred to call it “bar-hoppin’.” And I think Dan learned a lot on his first trip abroad, like you can’t wash your hands with chicken and noodles even though the words sopa and soup have a similar sound to them. Dan learned the hard way that if a toilet doesn’t have a toilet seat, it’s probably not a toilet.
He also learned that a herd of goats in the road has the right of way unless you want your license plate butted clean off. Dan has that insightful curiosity critical to a traveller of the world. For instance, after leaving the Spanish town of Moron (we had our picture taken in front of the sign after we added an “s” to the word with a magic marker), we were cruising down a fourlane Spanish autopista when Dan said, “Ah, Bill, this autopista thing - does that mean everybody on this highway is drunk?” Is it any wonder I love this guy? I hope this account of my travels with Dan doesn’t give you the wrong impression. I had a terrific time. I really did. In only three weeks, I got to see every town in Portugal, Spain, the northern part of Africa and I think once while I was asleep in the back seat, we went through France and Germany. And yes, we’re going back after two decades because, as guys, we are not only destined to repeat the mistakes of the past, we rejoice in them. Plus now, with all the advances in automobile technology over the last 20 years ... Dan thinks we can make better time on this trip. I keep telling him he needs to bring clothes and toiletries, but he insists he’ll buy that stuff when we get there. He’s already hit the maximum weight of 110 lbs. for his check-in bag with motor oil, windshield wiper fluid, air fresheners and turtle wax. I’ll keep you posted.

Wholesome Hideaway Approved by Planning Board By Jann Wiswall
The owner of a new wholesale food business has final approval for a special use permit from the Village of Ellicottville Planning Board following a public hearing on Tuesday, June 9. The catering company, Wholesome Hideaway, will build out food preparation space in the Ellicottville Square complex on Bristol Lane in the space recently vacated by Core Performance Fitness. The kitchen will require a
sink, range, other appliances and ventilation. Kitchen operations must be approved by the County’s Health Department before the business can open. Once completed, owner Brittany Lowry will be able to expand the wholesale food business she currently operates out of Nature’s Remedy on Monroe Street in Ellicottville. The business specializes in dairy-free, gluten-free, peanutfree and other items that cater to people with special dietary
needs or requests. Lowry expects to be able to expand her offerings beyond specialty granola bars and other items that are already being sold to retailers. In other business, the planning board approved the architectural design plan as presented for a private residence on Elizabeth Street. The next meeting of the Village Planning Board will be held on July 14 at 5:30 p.m. in the town/village hall.

Local Artist Designs NYS Park Quarter Fox Creates Stunning Repeat Performance
By Eva Potter
As you scroungee for change to pay a toll or too plug the parking meter, do you actually look at the coins? I dare say most of us don’t. But ut that may changee soon, especially if you want to add Barbara Fox’s 2015 New York State Parks quarter to your collection. Fox, a resident of Maples, N.Y., has been designingg circulating and nd collectible coins for the U.S. Mint for thee past seven years, and thee newest coin in her collection ion depicts a historic event at Saratoga National Historical al Park on the obverse (heads)) side. id Th The park was the site of the Battle of Saratoga, where Americans first defeated British forces in the Revolutionary War. The image Fox designed represents the moment when General John Burgoyne surrendered his sword to General Horatio Gates with an inscription that reads: “British Surrender 1777.” “I was very enthusiastic about doing the design for New York, so I actually went to Saratoga where I was able to take my own photographs to work from,” said Fox. The coin will be released Nov. 1, 2015. It will be the 30th strike in the America the Beautiful Quarters® Program, which comprises 56 quarters issued in 11 years at a rate of five per year.

Fox has had 18 designs accepted and struck. How does the process work? In August 2013, Fox, along with a few other artists, was assigned this quarter design. She was given three weeks to complete her design and submitted three versions. It was close to a year before she found out her design made it through two committee reviews and final approval by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, but she was sworn to secrecy until it was publicly announced. Fox’s design parameters included the park’s request that the design reflect the historical significance of the exchange of the sword, in addition to capturing the real feel of this historic location. “The superintendent of Saratoga National Historic Park is a civil war enactor and was adamant that I use the actual uniforms that these generals

She the then moved the elements around to finetune the image. As a kid, Fox wanted to become a veterinarian, but changed her major to art in college. After graduating, she worked as a commercial artist in graphic design and illustration in the San Francisco area. It wasn’t until she moved to the Ellicottville area more than 20 years ago that she began doing more fine art painting, mostly for herself. Regionally, she is known for her vibrant watercolor and oil paintings capturing still life, landscapes and floral subjects. She has received numerous awards, has been featured in galleries and museums throughout the U.S., and has had her work published in three leading art magazines.

World No Tobacco Day West Valley Youth Clean Up Their Community of Tobacco Litter
World No Tobacco Day, sponsored by the World Health Organization (WHO), is held annually on May 31 and brings people together around the world to stand up against big tobacco. This day highlights the global tobacco epidemic, creates awareness about the risks association with tobacco use and provides an opportunity to show our communities that tobacco is still a huge issue. Tobacco use is still the leading cause of preventable disease and death in New York State, killing 28,200 New Yorkers every year and afflicting nearly, 600,000 New Yorkers with serious disease directly attributable to their smoking. Annual health care costs directly caused by smoking are $10.39 billion in New York State, including $6.62 billion paid by the state Medicaid program. The one issue that goes unnoticed by many is the litter
that is left by smokers. “People just throw cigarette butts, anywhere,” said West Valley Senior Callie McRae. Cigarette filters are still the most littered item in the U.S. and worldwide, approximately 65 percent of cigarettes end up as cigarette litter. The two main causes for smokers to litter are the lack of environmental impact and the lack of ash receptacles. Cigarette filters are meant to catch toxic chemicals, tar and loose tobacco from entering the smoker’s body when they inhale. But, once these cigarette filters are littered is when these caught chemicals, tar and nicotine can be released in to our environment, harming our ground water, small children who make pick up a litter filter and put it in their mouth and our furry and feathered friends, who may mistake a littered filter for food. To bring awareness to their local communities the West Valley Reality Check group
decided to celebrate World No Tobacco Day by cleaning up Route 219 from the corners of Jefferson Street to Mill Street of tobacco litter in Ellicottville. The group found cigarette filters, cigarette packs, and even some cigarettes that seemed unlit. The group found many old filters just feet away from ash receptacles. “If there is an ash bin a few feet away why do people throw cigarette butts on the ground?” was a question asked by West Valley eighth grader Abby Proctor. The good news is many municipalities are starting to see the importance of making more public places tobaccofree, such as parks and playgrounds. Employers in our area can follow Dresser Rand’s lead and make their grounds smoke-free. Tobacco use has a huge effect on workers’ health and productivity. “The social acceptance of tobacco use is ever changing, parents want their youth protected from secondhand smoke and employers want to encourage their employees to become ex-smokers,” said Reality Check Coordinator Jonathan Chaffee. “The implementation of smoke-free areas can be made for health or fiscal reasons, the important thing is that it is showing our young people that smoking is not the social norm, which encourages them to not become new daily smokers,” said Chaffee. For more information on smoke-free policies, email at Jonathan.Chaffee@ RoswellPark.org or check out Reality Check CCA on Facebook.

Art, Fun and Friends - Join CCAC Art Classes! Have you heard of the group painting social trend? People gather at a restaurant and are led in a painting class by an instructor. Everyone follows step-by-step, creating the same painting. Cattaraugus County Arts Council (CCAC) Programs and Grants Manager Courtney Mealy was well aware of the trend and thought of a new twist on the theme. CCAC has a pottery studio, so why not try this concept with ceramics? And so “Sip and Sculpt” was born. Mealy leads adult participants in creating functional ceramic pieces while enjoying a social atmosphere at the 100 West Main Street studio in Allegany. All the ceramic supplies are provided. Participants create a different project at each session - a candle holder (June 16), and a spoon rest (June 30). Participants do not need any experience working with clay, everything you need to know will be taught to you that evening. You can sign up at www.myartscouncil,net for the classes ($30 each). On the softer side, working in fabric, artist Julie Mader will lead a class in creating one-of-akind hand painted silk scarves. In this one day class (June 19, from 10 a.m. to noon, $45 for members, $55 non-members), participants will focus on color theory and patterns, using dyes to embellish their scarf. The finished scarves will be washed and sent to participants later.
The completed DIY crate table.
Two other upcoming CCAC classes that are perfect to do with friends are of the doit-yourself (DIY) variety, but at CCAC an instructor is present who will guide you. DIY Website (June 13th from 3-5 p.m., $10 per person) is for those people who would like to have a website, but haven’t the training to work in more complex programs or the money to pay a website designer. Courtney Mealy will show you how to begin with the user friendly, free website, Weebly. Participants are asked to bring their own laptop so you can start creating a website right away! The other do-it-yourself class is DIY Crate Table - two days, June 27 and 28 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., $150 per person). This project has been
shown on the popular website Pinterest, but if you were reluctant to try it on your own, now you can work alongside an instructor. Patti Rosenswie will lead participants in creating this functional table using crates. All supplies will be provided and participants can choose to paint or stain their own finished table. To sign up for one of these classes, the registration form and paypal payment option are on the CCAC website, www.myartscouncil.net.

Recommended Reading from the Ellicottville Memorial Library
‘West of Sunset’ By Stewart O’Nan In 1937, F. Scott Fitzgerald was a troubled, uncertain man whose literary success was long over. In poor health, with his wife consigned to a mental asylum and his finances in ruins, he struggled to make a new start as a screenwriter in Hollywood. Those last three years of Fitzgerald’s life, often obscured by the legend of his earlier Jazz Age glamour, are the focus of Stewart O’Nan’s gorgeously and gracefully written novel. With flashbacks to key moments from Fitzgerald’s past, the story follows him as he arrives on the MGM lot, falls in love with brassy gossip columnist Sheilah Graham, begins work on The Last Tycoon, and tries to maintain a semblance of family life with the absent Zelda and daughter, Scottie. Fitzgerald’s orbit of literary fame and the Golden Age of Hollywood is brought vividly to life through the novel’s romantic cast of characters. A sympathetic and deeply personal portrait of a flawed man who never gave up in the end, even as his every wish and hope seemed thwarted. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. It is also available in large print or as an audio book using our interlibrary loan program.

ECS Teacher Experience Continued from front page
published in the June 4 edition, “Business First rated the levels of teacher experience in all 96 full-service districts in Western New York … Districts with high percentages of teachers in the 11-to-20-year range and 21-or-more-year range earned positive scores, while districts with high percentages in the one-to-10-year range received negative scores. Superintendent Mark Ward attributes its success to a number of factors, chief of which is retention.
“We don’t see a lot of turnover,” he said. “Teachers come to ECS and like it, become part of the community and stay for the duration.” Another important factor is that Ellicottville often hires more experienced teachers. “When someone retires with 35 years experience, we might hire someone to replace him/ her who has 10 or 15 years experience.” And when Ellicottville hires new, young teachers, the intent is to keep them engaged,
professionally challenged and committed to students and the school for many years. Finally, Ward says that the community’s support of education “is another solid factor that influences teachers to want to be here and want to stay. Our budgets and capital project votes have received 75% to 77% approval, and that is a solid indicator that the community supports what we are doing.”

Alan G. Stakel, 80 Alan G. Stakel, of 1879 Windfall Road, Olean, died Sunday, May 31, at the Olean General Hospital after a long illness. He was 80. Born in Warsaw, New York, on June 2, 1934, he was the son of Gilbert and Neva Stakel. He grew up in Lockport, New York. Al graduated from Lockport High School, where he was active in sports, playing football, basketball and baseball, and from Purdue University’s Krannert School of Business, with a degree in industrial engineering. Following ROTC at Purdue, he served first with a tank battalion, and then with the Army Corp of Engineers in the New York National Guard in Buffalo as a 1st Lieutenant.. On May 22, 1965, he and the former Susie Nannen were married at the First Presbyterian Church of Ellicottville, now the United Church of Ellicottville.

Cadillac on Route 16 with partner Dave Deckman. The dealership operated until 1977. Al returned to Westinghouse as a consultant, working with several Westinghouse divisions on extended projects.

He served as President and CEO until 2000, when he returned to Olean to practice management consulting with his firm, The Windfall Group, retiring in 2011. Al enjoyed boating, fishing, building model airplanes, and just spending time with his family, as his work took him away from home so often. Al was predeceased by his parents, an infant daughter,

but that estimated costs of needed repairs could be as much as $1.25 million over several years, depending on the priority of repairs and that the 2013 increase did not even cover the cost of this past winter’s deluge of frozen water service lines. At its March meeting, Campolong offered the board one funding strategy that included a combination of water usage rate increases, changes to minimum usage amounts and a flat capital improvements fee. At the June 8 meeting, Campolong presented a variation on that strategy that would raise $17,000 through rate and usage changes and another $59,000 through flat fees, bringing total revenues to $224,000. He also proposed establishing new fees that would be charged by the department of public works to help offset its time and materials costs of defrosting
residential water lines. The board felt that the latest strategy still puts too much of a burden on residents. However, as Village Engineer Mike Smith pointed out, 90 percent of the village’s water customers are residents. “The biggest water users of the past are gone,” he said, noting the loss of manufacturing companies such as Signore, Louisville Slugger, sawmills and others that generated far more water revenues for the village. “We haven’t found a way to replace them,” he added. Still, the board is concerned about putting an additional burden on residents and said it wants more time to review assumptions. Mayor Charlie Coolidge agreed, saying that the board must “be fair, but we also have to ensure people have water and fire protection for the long term.” In other business, the board has begun reviewing a draft
revised comprehensive plan that was prepared by the Ellicottville Village Planning Board. The plan includes suggested changes to building, permitting and zoning processes, procedures and policies. Members of the planning board plan to attend the July village board meeting to go over changes and suggestions and make some final decisions. Smith encouraged board members to contact the planning board’s engineer with specific questions before that meeting. The board also authorized its Special Events committee to proceed with plans for the Summer Music Festival, Jazz and Blues Weekend, Taste of Ellicottville, Rock n’ Roll Weekend and Christmas in Ellicottville. The next meeting of the village board will be held on Monday, July 13 at 6 p.m. in the Town/Village hall.

Taking a bite into a freshly dug carrot, the child looks up and beams “wow!” A parent stood by and quietly confided “I didn’t know they could taste this good.” This was just some of the conversation that occurred at a recent school tour of Canticle Farm in Allegany. Children were inquisitive, peppering the farm staff with questions about where eggs come from, how meat is made, and what is Swiss chard. Canticle Farm will be one of the local farms toured during an upcoming agricultural literacy academy offered to area teachers June 25 and 26 in Allegany. During the unique two-day program, teachers will be able to explore how local food is grown and raised, finding answers for curious children. Teachers will learn how to connect what they currently teach to gardens and local food systems. The core of the program is the Food, Land & People curriculum. This K-12 program complements existing
agricultural, environmental and natural resource conservation education programs. The program was developed in 1988 to provide educators with high quality, balanced and easily integrated classroom materials that deal with the complexity and interdependence of natural resources and people. The farm tours, speakers, and additional teaching resources wrap around the concepts introduced in Food, Land and People giving teachers a rewarding and enriching learning experience. Teachers will also receive 18 hours of professional development credit. The program will be held Thursday, June 25, 8:30 a.m. -4:30 p.m. and Friday June 26, 8 a.m. -3:30 p.m. at the ReHabilitation Center, 3799 South Nine Mile Road Allegany NY. The program is open to teachers in New York State. The program fee is $30 and covers materials and lunches. There are seven $100 teacher
scholarships available to help teachers offset expenses. Interested participants should register and/or apply for scholarships online at http:// www.agclassroom.org/ny/ programs/literacy_academy. htm . The registration deadline is June 15. The Agricultural Literacy Academy is being offered through a cooperative effort of Allegany-Cattaraugus Cornell Cooperative Extension, New York Agriculture in the Classroom, and Southern Tier West Regional Planning & Development Board, Local Foods Project. For more information, please visit www. freshlocalwny.org or contact Southern Tier West Regional Planning & Development Board at (716) 945-5301 ext. 2206. FreshLocalWNY is a program of Southern Tier West Regional Planning & Development Board designed to link consumers with their local farmers markets, farmers, and food producers.

rodeo judges. These scores are based on riding style, control and ability to make the eightsecond whistle. Each judge awards the rider from 1-50 points on how well they ride. Judges also score the horses or bulls on the same point scale based on how well the animal bucks. Timed events include Steer Wrestling, Team Roping, Cowgirl’s Barrel Racing and Calf Roping. Contestants try to complete the event the fastest without receiving time penalties for breaking any rules. Other events include Junior Bull Riding, Cowgirl’s Breakaway Roping and the always popular Stick Horse Races for kids 10 and younger. Plus, a rodeo clown will provide zany entertainment between the events. The rodeo attracts thousands of visitors from all over the country to watch and enjoy the competition. Many folks come for the fun year after year.
“You come here one time and I will have you on the edge of your seat,” John promises. The rodeo is located at 6319 Sommerville Valley Rd., just outside the Village of Ellicottville. Shows will be held July 2 - 4 at 7 p.m. (gates open at 5 p.m.) and Sunday, July 5 at 2 p.m. (gates open at noon). Spectacular fireworks follow all three evening shows. Be sure to get there early to check out the delicious food
and many vendors, and stay late to enjoy “slack” (i.e. more rodeo events) under the lights following the fireworks each evening. Admission is $18 for adults, $9 for children 12 and under, and free for children under age 5. Pre-sale tickets are available until June 26, and tickets are also available at the gate the day of the shows. Visit EllicottvilleRodeo.com.
GV Board Continued from front page
and zoning boards would allow for a five member board, with two alternates. New York state law requires towns to have a zoning board, but a combination board is allowed. “It can be the same board, and for a town this size, that’s an option,” Sorgi said. “It really is unfair for any applicant not to have a full board.” For example, he noted, Havorth Communications and Verizon Wireless requested a full planning board vote on their proposal to erect a cell tower on Martin Road. Because a local law is needed to combine the two boards, a public hearing was set for July 13. The board also set a public hearing, on the same date, for
the proposed Sand, Gravel and Clay Mining Overlay District. Residents in attendance questioned the logic behind the map that was presented and why a district was needed. Town Supervisor Dan Brown explained that, roughly 10 years ago, the town adopted a law that would stop the creation of new gravel pits, in part because too many companies were applying. Since then, the influx of new pits has diminished, Brown said, but those that do want a gravel pit have to get variance. The process is lengthy and puts a burden on the zoning board, according to Brown. If the town creates a district, applicants for a new gravel pit would bypass the zoning
board. The application would need to be approved by the Department of Environmenta Conservation before the town has a 30 day window to have final say. “Town zoning code does no allow for new mining permits,” Sorgi said. “The only way new mining can happen [now]… is to ask for new variances The options are to keep it as is and don’t change it, or allow it through some [approved mechanism.” Brown said he felt creating a district was the “easiest way to allow the industry” and stil protect the town. Both public hearings will be at 7 p.m. on July 13, preceding the regular business meeting.

It seems we’ve finally settled into summer-like weather and we can garden in earnest. After the much needed rain we had, all the plants will be happy! The following are some tips for late spring/early summer: • Weeding is a major issue, at least in my garden. They seem to be growing faster than I can pull them. It’s easiest to weed after a rain when the soil isn’t so hard and dry. If we haven’t had rain, you can water the night before weeding. This saves a lot of time and effort. • Don’t waste your time just pulling weeds from the top. Use a trowel and get the roots
or the weeds will just grow back. The extra few seconds to remove the roots will save you lots of time over the course of the summer. • If you don’t have time to weed, at least remove the seed heads. You can get the weeds later. • After weeding, it’s important to use some type of organic mulch. The mulch helps prevent weeds and when a few do sprout, they’re easy to pull. Mulch also helps keep moisture in the soil by slowing evaporation and protecting the soil from the drying sun. • I use compost as mulch. Compost is great mulch because it also adds nutrients to your soil so you don’t

Gardening Tips for June
need to fertilize as much. It’s also a good soil amendment, no matter what your soil conditions, including clay. Compost is available by the bag or delivered by the yard from most nurseries. • It’s very tempting to remove the leaves of those daffodils and other spring bulbs to get them out of the
way. However it’s best to let the leaves yellow out naturally and then remove. The foliage is providing food and energy for the bulb, which helps the bulb bloom next spring. • It’s time to start watching for powdery mildew. I already noticed a few patches on my Ninebark. It’s early, but probably a result of those
hot, humid days we’ve had. Also check susceptible plants like pulmonaria, phlox and epimedium. • If you notice powdery mildew (it looks like white powdery blotches on the leaves), remove the affected leaves and treat with an environmentally safe fungicide that is listed for powdery mildew. Be sure you disinfect your hands and pruner after doing this and before working on another plant. Spray Lysol works very well or you can use a 10 percent Clorox solution. • If you do move any perennials or have moved plants this spring, be sure to keep them well hydrated during any dry spells. They
will need more water than the rest of your garden. Good news regarding impatiens. In response to the Impatiens Downy Mildew, a hybrid impatiens, the Bounce series, has been developed to be resistant to the mildew, which has been devastating impatiens the past few years. The growth habit is a little different being taller than the impatiens we’re used to; however, you might want to check them out. If you have boxwood, check the tips of the stem; if the leaves on the tips look cupped like a round bud, you have boxwood psilid. The psilid larva live inside the “cups,� just prune them off and be sure to gather up the clippings.
